Rider was twice brought to by the British frigate Quebeck ; the treatment he received from her was friendly, except in taking from him one man, a Swede by birth. Nothing of any moment has taken place lately, either at the Cape or Port de Paix. Provisions were scarce and dear ; the British fleet of eight fail of the line, and several fri gates, are cruising close off the Cape ; and it was reported that an expedition was go infi against Monti Chrifto, but there was nothing positively known refpe&ing it when captain Ryder failed.

The Comtniffioneri appointed uoder the treaty with Great-Britain, proceeded, oh Thursday lad, to choose the fifth Commif fioncr by ballot, and the votetbeing between Mr. Ames and Mr. Guilleitiard, the latter was chosen. Capt. Moore, of the Blip Genera! Wash ington, arrived at this port frottt Madeira, le f t there, April 25, the ship Eagle, Dales, of Philadelphi a loading for Cadiz, and the (hip Portfmo'.ith, Monk, to fail next day for this port. Capt. Moore, on the 26th April, fell in with a Britilh fleet of 4 (hips of the line and 2 frigates, one of which, the Revo lutionnaire, boarded him. The officer treat ed capt. M. with the'greaieft politeness. This fleet was under the orders of admiral lord Hugh Seymour j and theoffieet wha boarded capt. W. informed him that ano ther squadron, und«r admiral Nelson, was cruifin/; off the Weflern Islands, for the protection of the British and the Ameri can commerce ; and that they had re-cap tured a number of the vtffclsof the latter fiwm the Freoch. The "reporter" of the debates of Congiefs in the Merchants Advertiser, has been heard to fay, that he deduced the two extra votes from the noes instead of the ayes, because the Chairman was more certain of his being right with refpeft to the ayes, hav ing counted them twice over, than he was with refpeft to the noes which he counted but once—nor did the Chairman change his opinion until a few minutes before the house met yejlerday. Some days ago the British Minister in leaving the lobby of the House of Repre sentatives was observed to touch Mr. Har per, whose feat is near the door, and in a moll familiar manner, reminded him of an engagement to dinner the next day, This was noticed by the Editor of the Aurora, that watchful guardian of our political pu rity, who was greatly and justly scandali zed by this public appearance of good , understanding between a Representative of the People and a foreign agent. We ap plaud this zeal ; and having heard it whif peped that Mr. Harper has received an in vitation to dinner from another British A gent, the Consul General, we think our selves bound to mention it, that it may not escape the animadversions of our said guar dian. Indeed we do not wonder that our said guardian (hould feel indignant at these open attempts by British Agents to corrupt our Representatives : Nor can we help in some decree partaking of his indignation. As however it is the manner of corruption which gives him offence, and not the thing itfelf, at least we suppose so from his known impartiality, and his love of reciprocity, we recommend it in future to the said agents to manage the matter by means of a fubfeription for three or four hundred copies of some newspaper, and of nightly meet ings at their houses. In this cafe it is pre sumed, that neither the Editor of the Au rora nor its partizans, can take offence. Indeed the British have always been ve ry bungling hands at corruption and in trigue : These being among the number of those accomplishments which they have ne ver been able to acquire from their neigh bours across the Channel.

At a time when it is fo'nectffary for the fafety and independence of the United States that the French government (hould be taught that all the branches of our government arc in union and that the people are resolved to support their government, we find, on the contrary, intriguing charafters, hostile to our liberties, resorting to every expedient to keep alive the hopes and expeftations of the French tyrants. The efforts of some of the minority in the Heufe of Representatives of Congress,' cannot fail to Simulate the Direfto ry to profecnte the plan of subjugation and plunder. Barras (in his infelent bombastic speech to the meek and suppliant Monroe, who truly teprefented, not the good people of America, but a set of debased and crouching fatellitet,) fays, that " France will not degrade heifelf to calculate the consequences of the conde scension of the American government to the suggestions of its antient tyrants —on this text, the official Redafteur, by order of the Directory, in a paragraph written no doubt by De4a Croix, fayi, " France will never forget that, in fpitc of the most wicked in iinuations, there palled only by a majority of tnuo votes that fatal treaty, which has put the Americans under the guardianship of the Fnglifh." Attempts are now making by French partizans, to pcrfundc France that there is only a majority of two votel against a propofuion, which has for its avowed ob jefts the meanest acquiescence in the unpro voked outrages of haughty France, and a humble tender of advantage* to which (he can have no just pretentions until (he hasof fered an apctogy ftr her inrultt ai.J compensa tion far her piracies. If Franca can b* thus perfnaded that there is within a few votes of a mejority of the Re prefcntativu of the people, devoted to her interests; with tlie Vice-Prefiieit'. at their i head, c»n it be any longer duub'eil that (lie | will perfitt in attempting the fubvfriiou of I oar conttiiU'.ion and the dcftiuttion of our liberties! 1 E)etra3 of a Utter from a gentleman in Virgi ilia to hit friend in this city. i " The present appears to me to be a cril>6 ] in the fortunes of jhe human race. France evidently seeks to govern the world by plac- ■ in % power in the hands of men who will be i subservient to her for the preservation of that power. Thus Holland in the Form of a Re- | public il, and mud be as obedient to France ; as a French Province. That Government i can only be preserved by the proteSion of t France, and ihofe who govern can only keep \ their placet by the fame protection. So in lialy you perceive a Republic or two is now form- i ing. It is by no means impoflible that the i Austrian dominions in Italy may be loft du- t ring the present war and converted into one or moie Republics. If the pecuniary aid of Britain is withdrawn they mujl be lojl. These ( ; Republics can only preserve their existence j by the aid of France, and they will confe qnently be er*irely under her controul. j Should his dominions in Italy even be refto- I ted to the Emperor, a French party will be found there, which will not easily be extirpa ted, and which will be ready in another war to take up arms for France. It appears to, me that an effort is making to govern the whole world either by conquest or by placing power in the hands of men who will ule it so as topromote the views of France. The only effort which ha« ever been mad<t in this conn try by a foreign nation to influence our elec tions and to place power in the hands of the partizani of such foreign nation, hat been made by France, and she has made it secretly and openly. She has made it by the immediate injlrumentality of her public agents, and by that of American citizens devoted It her. The fame plan which is incefTantly pursued in Europe is pursued in America also. It is to place power in the hands of these who are indebted to France for it, or who will use it for her aggrandizement. In Europe it is enough to establish a republican foim efgovernment,, in America it is nectjfary to do more. Pof. ! feffing already a Government purely Republi \ con it is necefTary to calumniate it, to excite jealoti/ies of the Republican dlfpofitions of those who conduit it, and thereby to bring them into disrepute with the People and by doing so to fill all our departments with men who being defied by a passion for France mud keep up that passion to keep their places. The effort I to universal dominion is plain and itsprogrefs ' is rapid. It seems to be impodible that the French party in our country can be blind to this danger. They must fee it—jet they court it. They keep the people blind by talk ing of a Briti/b influence which they know : does not and cannot exifl. Of this the letter ascribed to Mr. Jefferfon if really wtitten by 1 him, is a Itrong instance. 1 hope and have heretofore believed, that he did not write it. 1 wait with eagernels for his denial of it. If it jhall not be denied, I own that my opinion of the moral charader of that gentleman, as well as of bis polities will be much dimi/ii/hed." To THOMAS JEFFERSON, Esq. IT is now no longer a doubt that you are 1 the author of the abominable letter to Maz- ( zei, which ha« made so much noise rtkl fxci- 1 ted so much indignation throughout the U. I States. ' Your silence, after being publicly and re- c peatcdly called on by numbers of your fellow I citizens to disavow it, is complete evidence £ of yqur guilt. Had you been innocent ef 1 the charge, all who know your keen fenfibi - ' bility at every thing which appears in print to > J implicate your cooduA, and who have heard ' your profeflisDS of refpeft for public opinion . ' are fatitficd that yoa are fileiit, because you dare not contradict it: Gonlidering you then as the avowed author ef that indecent libel agaioft the Government and chara&er of j your country, I shall animadvett on it with 1 that freedom which the magnitude of the a fubjeft requires. f The effeds intended to be produced by you in Europe are apparent from the writings of c a French journalifl: ' £ The following comments are made on y»ur t precious letter in the r PARIS MONITEUR : f "The interesting letter from one of the F molt virtuous and enlightend citizens of the 1 United States, explains the conduct or the Americans in rfgard to Francs. n It is certain that »fall the neutral and friend- r ly powers, there is Rene from which France si had a right to expert more interelt and sue- il court than from the United States. She is G their true mother country, fjnee she has as- jj fured to them their liberty and independence. Ungrateful children, inttead of abandoning her, they ought to have armed in her de- p fence. But if imperious circumdances had prevented them from openly declaring far the Republic of Fiance, they ought at least to a have made demonstrations and excited appre- henfions in England, that at some moment ® oi other, they would declare themselves ? This fear alone would have been fufficient to a foice the Cabinet of London to make peace. 0 It is clear that a war with the United States v would flrike a terrible blow at the commerce f< of the English, would give them unealinefs h for the preservation of their pofTeflions on the *' Amerisao Continent, and deprive them of the- means of conquering the French and e Dutch Colonies: o Equally ungrateful ani impolitic, the Con- k grefs hastens to encourage the English, that o they might pursue in tranquility their war t' of extermination against France, and to.in- " vade the colonies and commerce of France. n They sent Ito London a miniller, Mr. Jay, known by his attachment to England, and I his personal relations to lord Grenville, and he concluded suddenly a treaty of commerce which united them witb Great Britain, more than a treaty of alliance. t Such a treaty, under all the peculiar cir- o cumQances, and by the consequences it must 1 produce, is an of hostility against France, * The French Government, in ftiort, has tef. h tifird the refeotmcat of the French nation, I by breaking <j(F communication with an da grateful and faith.cfs ally, until {he fliall re turn to a trior* jnft and benevolent conduit. Juitice and found policy, equally approve this m?afure of the French Government. There is no do«!*t it will give rife, in the United •States, to dtfeuffions which may afford a tri umph to the party of good Republicans, the friends of France. Same writers, in dif-tpprobation of this wife and necessary meafurc of the Diredtory, maintain that in the United States, the French have for partizans only certain dema gogues who aun to overthrow the exilting government. But their impudent falfehoods convince no one* and prove only what is too evident, that they use the liberty of the press to serve the enemies of France." The effects intended to be produced by your letter in the United States,, and .the ef fects which it must inevitably produce, -will be hereafter examined. A FFLLOW-CITIZFN.

THE Subscriber, Captain of the brig Schuyl kill, of this port, having in two voyages to the* Weft-Indies, experienced the salutary effeiflsof a patent machine, for expelling the foul air fr«m the holds cf (hips, invented by Benjamin Wynkeop, and conftrudled in said brig ; doth certify that the fame machine, worked by the motion of the veflel at sea, sorted a conftaßt current of pure air into the {hold, from whence the foul air was thereby expelled : that the sea men were remarkable healthy, no disagreeable fmellwas perceived from.the bilge water, or provisions ; the veflel's stores, particularly the liquors, were much cooler than common, and the paint in the cabin not discoloured asufual in Welt-India; voyages. A» a friend to trade and navigation, the fubferibtr thinks it his duty to recommend the machine to general use, and from the fifls, as ftatefl above, he fully believes it may be the means of preserving the timber of ships and their perishable cargoes from the definitive effedls of foul air confined in the holdj of (hjps, and of contributing to the health and comforc of paftengers and seamen on board.

It had been aflerted witii lingular confi. dence that France was the firft aggr<lpjr in spoliation, and that the Btitifh order of council of June 1793, had been precede] by one from the French government to the faine purpose ; he need not enter into a refutation of that aflertion ; the gentleman from MafTa rhufetts (Mr. Freeman) had yellerday com plutely exposed the fallacy of that artifice, the French, have throughout the pvefent war been compelled,in her own defence, to follow the unusual measures adopted hy Britain, and in this inflance the order iflued by the French government, expressly Hates the British or der in its preamble as the sole and necessary cause of her adoption of similar jpeafures in her own defence ; but we have ttftimony Hill Itronger if any stronger were neccflary, it it the declamtion of lord Grenville to Mr. T.

Having offered his free opinion 011 these several articles, he was willing now to de clare as freely that there were many of the circumstances of complaint urged by the French Republic, which they were not founded in carrying to the extent which they do ; and it was on this account in an espe cial manner that, he considered the amend ment proposed, to deserve the most decided support of the committee ; he had little doubt of their being wrong, he had little doubt of their being open to conviftion ; & as they no doubt think themselves as much in the right ia these cases, as they thought this government in the wrong ; it became us to use towards them a'language suitable to that liberality which benefits a wife and prudent nation ; it becomes us to examine our own conduit and not rely on our own infallibili ty : to enquire difpaflionately, and not rufli into war before we have considered either the cause or the eonfequences ; he appealed to every gentleman, which would be the con duit most consistent with true dignity, to ' obstinately persist in error at every rilk of cha racter and disaster, or to examine our con duft, and if we have erred to acknowledge it manfully ; she does not require our humi liation as gentlemen declaim, and if' (he did we Ihould never submit to it—from a single stipulation into which we have entered with any nation we ought not and will not depart,' (he does does not demand it; and therefore we ought to fay to her we will place you on a footing with every other nation—you have been mistaken in some matters, we have been mistaken in others—we will difcufst(>em and this unpleasant difference ; would this be > abjeft, would this be humbling us in the dust—or would it be the most consistent wjth true dignity ?
