'' This difordei attacked him abont th« i;th ultimo,
during a very favorable pafTage irom Detroit hither,
where we arrived on the evening of the fucjeeding

with ceafiderable inflammation and a great degree of
pain, unti. about the 30th ; when the violence of both
beginning gradually to abate, inspired flattering hopes
©t" his fpcedy recovery:—but alas! these were of
ihort duration j for on the morning of the 3d intt
it appeared that the gout had taken poffeflion of his

The birth of some great man, or death,

The traveller (hall fee hi 5 monument ;
At least his grave'. For this,
Corroding jealousy will not detract j
But will allow a mound—
Borne little fwclling of th« earth, \
To mark the interment of his bones.
Brave, honest Soldier, flutp——

Mr. Fekno,
The following article appeared in the Aurora
yeflerday.
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

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

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

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
