Such an open avownl of the wijiei of those da rr.eflic traitors whether native or foreign, whose ma chinations threaten to involve out country in war and bluod, has scarcely before appeared. On the principles heie advanced, it is the duty of our ci ti*«ns to invite a foreign power to take the United States into keeping. What panders of prostitution would the Jacobin faction prove, could they but once debauvn the people of this country, and de fttoy their •' sslf respf.ct." ' C. ExtraS from tie Aurora, ■ " Attempts are made te fprcad alarms refpeft ing Louisiana, as if the possession of that country iiy Fiance would sot be of the utmost advantage considered in every relation ; firft as an exemplary warning agaicft the growing spirit of arifltcracy among us; fecoudly as an aid agaiaft the wicked arts of Britain to entrap us into an ejffeujivc and difcnfive alliance ; and third as a fafe and >ec afy lum trom tyranny in the event of the majority •{ ourMlow cni«en» being betrayed inta fa diabolical ••n alliance, in so a tame a futTender of republican freedom at the feet ot arijltcracy and kingly pa f; eantry !"

Another tarns his back on the cunftituted authorities and his impudent face to the people j yet while he pretends to coax he dare« to threaten and on* voicc as indigattian is raised against him. Heedless of that voice, the hired press of the rainifter audatiouily declares that the French will afford an asylum in Louisiana for perfccutcd patriots— such no doubt as David Bradford. Aad that a French army marching through .the United States would not do much mifchicf. In the Aurora we read, with pro per edification, the threats of an American citizen, commander of two French (hips, against his country, if we ehufe Adams Prefidcnt. The Boils* Chronicle, to cover the whole, ealls our difpofitien towards France rebellious. What kind of malleable ijuff do theft infulters imagine the American nation are made of h Every American who laves hit country well, readil* acknowledges that aur very Dear Allies for four years past, and at the present time, give undeniable proofs of their being our very dear al ,lie«, if the fpaliations M our Cemaurcc- to the amount of 4 ir. illions of dollars are any evidence— yet this is the nation, that talks of tieing the bands of Friendship more clafely, this is the nation which the Genetifed, mongrelifed amerieans fay ought te be laved better than our awn—A very clear sample of Love—but a piratical way of (hewing it, this is like a lover eourting his mistress to ileal her Jew els —If the French King loved us well enough to lend us Eiyht millions aad the Directory well enough to difpoil by their ardeis our merchants of foui millions—to which ought our Gratitude to ilahdf the King or llie terrible reputlit— Gratitude as per Favour. In a paragraph in the Aurota of WednefSay, which contains as many falsehoods as could well be conpreflcd within its limits, it is said, that " the JirJl French art'ijls arc employed in the trahfportation of the statues and pi&ures front Italy and this is almoß the only palliative offeted to foften the criminality of the plunder. How abundant soever auiils may have been in France, the revolution has operated as an ostracism ta them, which few have escaped. But if they have the firft artifls, that is te fay, packers, waggon-drivers, See. to emplay for this puvpofe, their conduct, with regard to-the whole tranfaihon, will remain the fame i. and (in the opinion of the be& men in France) wherever the trophies arc exhibited, they will be regarded as monuments of disgrace arid infamy—They will pr*ve a beacan to warn the nations of the earth from any connexion or intercourse with the French ; till at length, tired and finking under the intolera ble load of infamy, they will, as' the only means left to retrieve the honor of the Ftench-name, tranfpovt back again, their ill gotten plunder ; and instead «f korfcrwr mules, they will cause the pic | tures an(? ftatwej to be li-trmfpoMed by tbe base I inlhuments of their deportation.—And God fend, ■ 'hat citizen Buonaparte may live to be one of the ! train.
