TUESDAY EVENING, Sfptemijfr i». From tht ttF.IV-rORK GAZETTE, Ufc. There feetns to eiift a degrading opinion among foihe of our American patriots .-—that •ve ry man in this country hiuft be attached either to France of England. The real partizans of Bri tish ascendancy, and the American fans culottes, both entertain this ridiculous sentiment, at leal) in appearahte, and make it the engine for accom plilhing their refpeSlive views. The real fait however, is, that there are THREE parties in the United States—one h mdly devoted to Great Bri tain—anotherroFfarice—each very cordially-detefts the other) and vifbes them to the devil. But, there is a third class, c jnfiOing of principled Ame ricans ; who contended for our glorious indep ,n ( <Jence ; factificed their health, ease and property in i's defence ; and who, reje<9ing with conteaipt the idea of partial attachments fa any nation, crtlu lively, bellow all their regard upon that dear coun tryi for ths def.nce of whi-h they so no ly fought and fuffcred. Thfee are our true patriots, upon whom dependance can be placed in the trying h»ur of danger—and not the vagaVonds who fly frorti perfection for villainies in their native land, and here enter as hirelings, into the service of those who 'iaringly advocate the robbery and oppression exercised hy Great Britain and France upon our d«fencelefi trade. A filly paragraph in Grsenleaf's paper, it writ ten wholly under the impreflion that the people of this country are all either partisans of the Britilh or French. The ■ author mull he some foreigner ■ recently imported, who knows nothing of the dis position of our genuine citizens, and who for the fake of dabbjinj among the dirty calumnatorsof American merit throws out a firing of political ab furditiesta exhibit hiina ive ignorance of the coun try which has admitted him. Th« paragraph is so donfiru"d as to induce a belief that the writer is a Irienii to America- but the cloven foot is obvious from the partiality he shews to one fct of our ene mies, while he i itterly declaims agtinft the other. Of all such—os theabufersof our ejcellent pub lie officers, and defamcrs of tried merit, we fhouM beware—and never admit what they aflcrt, until it is proved to a demonftration—for, a fellow who will profiittlte himfelf for money to advocate any cause without regard to principle, is a bad member of fociey—ai.d like all Liars, he (hould be fuf re*2ed if even by ehancf he DF.VIATES into TRUTH. The following. <tve Lrtieve, is tit paragraph to llb'ub the above tvritcr bsu refertnte. The ABI'SF. wMch is continually poured forth from certain prefiVi in the United States against the French people noil mvact every candid obfsrver that a fa&ion exists in this country ini ical to our confiitution and to the eenuine rights of the peo ple. We fometimcs fee lengthy paragraphs of ca lumny, extract of. letters from London charging the French with setting fire o our ci'iesand towns, answers from the Spanili miniiVer to the French overnment >n the defeat of the Spanish fleet, and a number of kther publications, which, too c vidcntly, bear the marks of fallhoad and decep tion. When recourse is had to such vile means to Irjarr the filler republic, we mud naturally sup pose. that the authors are inimical to the princi ples of iberty and are artfully endeavoring to wi den the breach between the citizens of the two countries. I.et the republicans ps the United States be attentive to the proceedings of a Britiffi party among u», who arc driving, by every fubterfuge which resentment canVKSate, to sap tW founda tion of our liberties, and once more bring us under the dominion of our former tyrants. MEstas. m'lkan & LAHC. Jleady reader ofyourpaperthis morning got hold of the urora ofThurfday lajl, -wherein heJinds the following paragraph, -which, with the re marks subjoined, I would thank you to publijh. ' j! *r4l ftDEHALUT. The Gazettes of the faction are indefati gable in their endeavors to render the French and the French revolution odioiu here. For this purpose they have plundered the whole Billingfgatc vocabulary for epithets to lavish oil them, and have ransacked every rancor oui monarchical account of the revolution for distorted instances of barbarity commit ted during the revolutionary fever. These they are every day retailing as true pi&ures of the scenes exhibited on the theatre of France during that period. The friends of humanity and republicanism weep over the few 'excefles of which some .individuals in France, taking advantage of the troubled moments of a revolutioh, have been guilty ; but these friends of order feaft on them in the Irue spirit of canibalifm, a spirit so con genial with their favoritefyftem—Monarchy. REMARKS. On the above paragraph a correspondent remarks that the Aurora, that wretched fink of scurrility, personality and defama tion, after some little repose from its dirty labors, has resumed its wonted style. The friends of decency, order and virtue will however, not be deterred from exposing the villainies of our domestic Jacobins, or repro bating the piratical measures of foreign ene mies, whether British or French. The Au rora, and some other gafceites of a similar completion, have incessantly trumpeted the fouleft charges against the friends of Ame rica labored with a zeal truly merce •nary to palliate the enormities of rascals who are censured even in France—Why is this done ? It is an evident proof that we have a faftion among us, which detefl every thing virtuous and good, and love whatev er is politically or morally bad !—Such a faction defervr discountenance, and it is a truth very pleasing to the friends of order, that it is now rapidly declining in credit— In refpeftability it has always been deficient. ■The true spirit of patriotism is exhibited by an attachment to our countiy, and enmity to her foes of whatever nation they may be— but he who attaches himfelf to one foreign nation exclusively, and not only reprobates every other,'but his own too, when the fa vorite foreign power thinks proper to in jure her, is a detestable character, and me rits banishment—Such is Bache, and some others that could be named—Men who to elevate the nation they worlhip, would not scruple to facrifice the interests, and pros trate the' political independence of the li nked States at its feet. In France, the at trocities of the jacobin faftion are freely and openly exposed, and its abettors held up to public execration for having deluged the country in blood. The colonial agents are re-called for having eflablifhed the reign of terror, and milder charafters sent to replace them. Notwithftandiag these evidences of j a change f or tiie better in France, our ja cobins are (till favorable to the ancient ex ploded system bf terror, arid cannot with out the keenest Feelings fee ill the Ame rican gazettes a republication of what is dai ly printed in France and read with avidity a gainst the murderous fattellitesof Robespierre. The Valuable writer who has exposed the crimes of the Sanguinary Robefperian fac tion, ha 3 ira-.uortalized his name—and the translator wha gives the American reader an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the fafts, and whose personal know ledge of many incidents which occurred in France, enables him to speak positively, deserves the thanks of America, as well for his auxiliary labours in making the tranflatiohs, as for the ; judicious remarks with which he accompanies them. Baclic talks like a fool when he fays the favorite System of the American seder lifts is mo narchy—-They contended against a monarch seven years, and after liberating their coun try, eflablifhed a free government op the purest republican principles. This is the system they adore, and to this system they cling. They are sure that our present form of government is the bed ever devised by the understanding, or conceived by the wit of man. It is the result of matnre delibe ration and great intelle&ual labour, research and comparison. Every intelligent Ameri can is confident it is infinitely preferable to either the British or French, and every patriot American will support it against the hireling efforts of foreign intermrdlers aim ing to subvert it, and assimilate it to their own, in order to get us the more completely under their influence. For this base pur pofc have such rascals been put in pay as the writer of the history of the United States, and the most unprincipled fellows inftigatedtofet up presses, which, disclaim ing the truly estimable character of imparti ality, have been exclujively devoted to the filth of a faftion. From such Sources have proceeded the calumnious publications a gainst Wafrington, Adams, Hamilton, and the whole catalogue of our revolutionary worthies—men to whom we are deeply in debted, andto whom this country will feel its obligations while freedom exists among us, or one man attached to the genuine principles of repuolicanifm can be found, either in tK or any other country on earth. '■ From the ORIENTAL TR UMPET. Mr. Rand, " A true patriot" on Wednesday last hav ing announced, by found of Trumpet, his fafe return from an European expedition ; permit an inhabitant of Portland, in behalf of his fellow citizens, to congratulate him upon his happy arrival, and to express a most feeling concern at the " furpr'tzing and Jhocting" revolution in political Sentiments, which he observes to have taken place in this country. As the refpeflability and importance of a nation, depend in a high degree upon the wealth and abilities of its citizens, no Sacrifice can be esteemed too great, to indcc.gentlemen of this descripti on, to honour our country with their resi dence. To promote this desirable objeft, a Priejlley was affectionately received among us ; who is induftrinus in propagating reli gious infidelity ; and a Gallatin was admit ted into the bosom of our national legifla jure, eagw on every occasion, to excite in the breasts of our fellow-citizens a Spirit of discontent and inSurreftion. In order to continue th's jujl and salutary policy, dnd to induce a felf-created patriot to enrol himfelf among those exotie worthies, I would sug gest to my fellow-citizens, the propriety of renouncing their correft, independent, and well-founded political sentiments and opini ons ; by which means America will have the honor at lead to boafl of " A True Patri ot." But, fellow citizens, before you thus make an offering upon the altar of infamy,' to " A True Patriot," or to France or to any other nation, of all' that is praile-wor thy and excellent, I earnestly entreat you to consider the equivalent for this invaluable facrifice. The above was intended as an introdufti on to the anatomy of " A True Patriot But the Subjeft, upon infpeftion, not ap pearing ripe for dilTeftion, having for some time dieted upon soup maigrt and frogs, I Shall delay the operation, until by a residence in our country, it shall acquire a body and reSpeftability. AN AMERICAN. INDIA. From the Madias Coviier. Mr. Editor, The enclosed account of the people who live on the mountains that form the boun dary of the Circars, having been commu nicated to me by a friend, you will oblige me by inserting it in your weekly paper, in hopes of inducing gentlemen farther to investigate So interesting a Subjeft, as there cannot be a doubt that Similar public ad vantages may be made to reSult from an attention to such people here, as have nriSen from the philanthropy of Cleveland iu Ben gal. I am, Sir, Your very obedient servant, JAS. ANDERSON. Fort St. George, 1 May \<)th, 1795- J THE range of mountains inland of the five northern Circars, is inhabited by a class of men who differ from the natives in the circumjacent low country, in their appear ance, religion, manners, and language. This class of men, generally denominated Conds, or hill people, is branched out into fix tribes, named the Condowar, Lowrawar, Condulwar, Contulwar, Pudmawar, and Budcondawar. All their Six tribes, or fa miliea, are to be found on the hills inland of Vizagapatnam and Poody, but only the two firit on the Barampore hills. They all have nearly the fame language and cuS toms, and live Solely on the Summit and Sides of the mountains, from which they come down to the villages below, on the : Shandy, or weekly market days, bringing j Small grain, dye-ftufft, and other articles, which they exchange for eoarfe cloth, cut lery, &c. The Conds are Squat and ttiitScular,. their colour is dark, their features very harfti, and their language guttural. They go entirely naked excepting a bit of cloth about their loins. Their women Sometimes cover their breasts as well as their loins, and a Single piece of eoarfe cloth fuffices for both pur poSes. I They are unacquainted with the uSe of ■ letters, and no Bramins frecjuent or dwell i with them. They are extremely fuper-fliti ouß, and have among them priests and priest esses, who are a fort of conjurors. They call the former Punnoo and the latter Dean nee. They perform none of the ablutions fp common to the other oriental casts. In point of manners they are almofl. as rude and wild as elk and bear, their fellow inha bitants of the hills. Every village clefts a head man, who ad justs all matter of dispute among his consti tuents, wha are in a perfeft equality. They acknowledge .Scarcely any obedience to the Zemindars of the low country, who think it their interest to cajole the head men to visit them, on which otcafions they give them trifling preSents and abundance S pariah arrack, of which liquor, and of buffalo flefh, the Conds are escefiively fond. They are in general a simple, and very inoffenfive race, but have ideas ofboth pro perty and independence. They will not al low the trees growing on their hills to be cut down without their Sanction, both which and theiraffilance to drag and roll the felled wood, are readily purchafcd by a very small sum. When prevailed on by insurgent zemin dars to take a part in their quarrels, tht*jjare a fnifchievous enemy, as they Sally from the hills during the night, into the plains be low, fire the villages, and destroy jr carry off the grain and cattle. All pursuits of tnem among the hills is fruitleSs, as they as cend the heights with amazing speed from their perfeft knowledge of the declivitiesand ascents, and can without rifle to themfelve* either elude or assail their pursuers. Every Cond is arfnecfr with a hooked knife, with with he cuts down bamboos and trees, or behAds the unhappy captive. They use flings, and bows and arrows, and where the situation is Savoutable, they have large stones ready placed to roll down on their as sailants. TheSe notices were afforded by a Jungum (a religious mendicant,) of Barampore. His information was taken down in Persian by a moonfhee, from whose manuscript the above is translated. POLITICAL REFLECTIONS. The governor and the governed, whatever be the form of government proposed, are men partaking of the interests and passions of men. Let us then take the feelings of pri vate, interest, and the passions of men into our estimate of what government is best for them ; and let us too consider those interests and passions as cxiftent under the aftual cir cumstances of the times. The question then is, not what govern ment is best for men in a state of great pu rity of manners, Simplicity of knowledge, general competency to all, without riches to any, and contentment in private life, keeping down generally the ambitioaof pub lic life. We must take men as they are, we must not take them as the poets describe Shepherds of Arcadia, and those of the golden age. We must take men who follow trade and commerce, beeaufe trade and commerce bring money ; and, who Seek money, be cauSe money gratifies their lusts and appe tites. We must take men who Seek power, be eaufe power not only may reach wealth by (horter strides, but moreover gratify vanity and other passions extraneous to those merely sensual. I We must take men, who, in all claffcs of life, reach as high towards the enjoyments which power or wealth may give, as their means will afford : and who, if too low' to reach at all, in their envy and discontent give proof of what they seek, and what they would do if they could. In short, we must take men for the most part, and in their general community, who abuse, or are rea dy to abuse both power and wealth. The love of power and of wealth are of so quick growth, and are so fatal to any insti tution of government which is not framed under consideration of their influence that no democracy, or republic leaning to a demo cracy, ever lasted an entire century. It be came an aristocracy, or it submitted to the usurpation of an individual; and in its latter years of duration as a republic was convulsed and diftrafted by these jarring influences, and at all times was a scene of disquiet in it falf, and of unhappinefs. to mankind. Generally a democratic people on their ou»fet of republican establishment have been ruinous to the quiet and happiness of all people near them ; and afterwards have left as great unhappinefs from commotions a mong them/elves, as heretofore they brought on others by their wars and disposition to contest. Priftina mala poftquam foris"deer ant, doini qucerere, is by Livy applied to Rome. •*" The tendency of tl»e passions and interests of men in such governments ever takes its direftion to the attainment or support of the executive department. It is the struggle for executive power on which the -whole turns. It is a question truly of great concern whether executive authority in government canbefoplacedand guarded as to be without, and beyond the reach of those passions and influences which tend to eorrupt the pec-ple and destroy the state, and yet be within the reach of controul and restrained from all ex ertion to the prejudice of the liberties and rights of the people. The operation of struggles for the exe cutive power in Smaller commonwealths, and republics in general, is equally deftruftive to \ domejl'tc happinejs, and to political injlitutitjn. | Let usTuppofe a competition of iifcen&mt . characters. There ever have been, for the j most part, and always will be, able and "en j terprifing men flruggling together for as. ccndemy. These buly and ambitidua men are seldom so virtuous as to be nice about the means, so that they attain their ends, Human ingenuity will soon be exercised hnd well practised in all the adls to gain or to cheat the people, to reduce, to corrupt, or to deceive J whilst the animosity of contend ing parties, permits not either to fee that in the end the people are merely cavilling for who shall eftablirti despotism in the per son of their own chuling ; of perhaps two or three parties find it necefiary to join their forces ; and the result * the worst of all governments an hateful aristocracy. During these struggles no end bf good government is answered. There is'no"peace, there is no private happiness, no security of per/on, no security a! property ; there is little too of lilerty as applied to the individual sta tion. The majority in a democratic assem bly.ever have tyrannized over the minority ; the general pi&ure of a democracy is of a party conquering, and of a party subdued ; of a party oppressing, and a party fuffering ; an alternate abuse of power, and vicissitude of murders, exi e and conjfcations. Thus all democratic republics havefallen and ■willfall, and be of (hoi t duration, from the impracticability of so ordaining the execu tive power, as not to be the oljeiJ of undue praftices, and not to be the means of undue influence ; the one tending to corrupt, and the other to overturn the political institution. In such a republic, constant struggles and animosities, and a constant mfecUrity of property and unfafety of person, chafe all djmejlic happiness to a distance ; and what eompenfation have the republican people for this loss ? I have /hewn the mifchiefs which the ftiuggles for executive power occasion in a republican government, and remarked the successive fa ft ions and disturbances, destroy ing all domestic security of individuals, and ■ all peace and happiness in the community.' I have {hewn that these ftruggle3 in the end go to destroy the republic itfelf, and con firm one man, or one set of then, in "power and | tyranny. [ The following Relation of the Majfatre of the Inhabitants of an American town by a body of French troops, and their Indian auxiliaries, is extraßed from " the hijlory of the Five Indian Nations" by Cadwalla der Col den. 1 he Count De Frontenac being defiraiis to raffe the drooping spirits of the French in Cmada, by keeping them in aftion, and engaging the most daring of them, in enter prizes that might give courage to the reft, had sent out three parties against the Eng lish colonies, in hopes thereby to lesson the confidence which the Five Nations had in the English assistance, now that England had declared war against France. The par- * ty sent to New-York was commanded by Monfr. Dc Herville, and was ordered to at tempt the surprising of Scheneftady, the nearest village to the Mohawks : It consisted of 150 French Bufh-lopers or Indian trad-rs, and of as many Indians, the most of them French converts from the Mohawks, com monly called the Praying Indians, fettled at~ a place near Montreal, [called Cahnuaga. They were well acquainted with all that part of the country round Scheneftady ; and came in fight of the place the Bth of February 1689-90. The people of Schene£tady were at that time in the greatest security, notwithstand ing that they had information from the In dians, of a party of French, and French In dians being upon their march that way. They did not think it prafticable, in ihat season of the year, while it was extremely cold, and the whole country covered with fuow. Indeed Europeans will hardly thrnk it pofiible, that men could make such a march through the wildernefsin the severest frofts, without any covering from the hea vens, or any provision, except what they carried on their backs. Tho* the people of Schenefkady were in formed in the evening before the place was surprised, that several fculking Ihdians were seen near the place, they concluded, that they could be only some of the neighboring IndianS ; and as they had no officer of anv esteem among them,, not a single man could be persuaded to wat«h in such severe weather, though, as the French owned afterwards, if they had found the least guard or watch, they would not hpve attempted the place, but have surrendered themselves p.rifoners : They were so exceedingly distressed with the length of their march, and with cold and hunger, but finding the place in fatal security, they marched into the heart of the village, without ■ being discovered by any one person ; then they raised their war shout, entered the hordes, murdered every perfort they met, men, women and children, naked and in cold blood ; and at the fame time set fire to the houses. A very few efeaped, by running out naked into the woods in this terrible weather : And several hid themselves till the firft fury of tltc attack was over; but these were soon driven from their lurk ing places by the fire, and were all made prisoners. The French marched back, without reap ing any visible advantage from barbaroti* enterprise, betides the murdering fixty-threc innocent perfans in cold blood, and carrying twenty-feveri of them away prisoners. WALPOLE, ( N. H.) September 4. To triumph over thefallen Jacobins wquU appear inhuman. To express a hope that they have fallen " like Lucifer, never to rife again," though it might evince a love of order, a love of peace, is, we presume, at present fcarccly neccflary. Perplexed,;« these demo-patriots now are, with the me. mory of M'Lean, the treafou of Bloupt, and the difgraee of Monroe, their ardpr to brood mifchief must be not a littk damped.
