" From the Neit-Tork Gazct/e, &V. • —Role d'Equipage ! ! ! —J Messrs. M'Lean & Lang, When attempts are daily making, and e- W very opportunity .eagerly embraced for in fluejicing and jnving a wrong and dangerous b'.as to the public mind, on a fubjedt highly inlcrelting to our country in a national as well as individual point of view, it behoves every man not altogether immersed in the M consideration of his private affars, to devote ' tome moments to what regard* the honor ' of hrs country. On no occasions are patri otic exertions more loudly called for than Jwhen the general good is likely to be injur- , ed by the secret and imperceptible machi- , I nations of a combination of wealthy individ uals—Actuated by these sentiments, and, ; J , not engaged diredjjy nor indiredtly, *i navi- ] f gation, either as insurer or insured, I deter- t mined to hazard a few observations on the ] injultice and political danger of holding up l an idea of the Underwriters .NOT being li- t able, where vessels were unprovided with a c I Role d'Equipage. lam very confident eve- r L ry engine is ei .ployed by certain grasping 0 L and defigm'ng underwriters in this city, re- t gardlefs of the political consequences, to e give a falfe impression to the public opiu- 0 ion, as to their liability under certain circum- ti Itances for American property' insured by j \{ them. When I saw a HiNrinth- 'Com- r mercial Advertiser' of Saturday lalt to the ! d insurers to avail themselves of Lord Ken- I d yon's decision in the cafe of an American ! vv vessel condemned by him for not having a 01 Role d'Equipage, I must confefs my fur- , p } prift was not equal to my indignation ; and J b< t the immediate recolkdtion of the letter a- i {" G j * bom the Role d'Equipage published in the j a Minerva a few days ago with such studied ' (h assiduity, as coming from Nantz to a "res ' a „ j pedtable house in this city," &c. confirmed l ev me at once in the well grounded opinion I , f Q had conceived, of the designs and exertions cr , of some interested men, to give an improper tif bia; to the public mind'on this momentous tic national fubjedt. j , r ; . I beg to be permitted to put a few quef- W tiortsto Mr. Webster, who seems not to be tre v feufible of the dangerous political tendency, I 0 f particularly at this time, of giving an opin- f er . ion publicly in favor of the underwriters. J£ v f Did not public opinion and the laws con sider an American vessel as fully and com- an( pletely documented without thij newly dif- a b] covered pretext called a Role d'Equipage ? thi . Did not the insurer and insured perfectly f undefftand each other at the time the ion- j„„ tradtof insurance was made, as to the ri/k to ' run and the premium said rilk was worth ? to Have not the premiums on almost every oc- f ori enfion been equal to what t hey would have jftj been, were we at open war with France ? ry c . Were not a gfeat many risk/i undetermined Th V and vedels underwritten before the gre.y: bun difco*ery made by the diredtory of the necef- exp fity of a Jlole d'Equipage ? Was the want aco of the Role d'Equipage thought of at the s on time the firft arret of the diredtory was issued diff( lagainft American vessels, and was such an ; mp instrument mentioned among the reasons of- nat ; fered when said decree was cnadted ? Was hav, not the British treaty the only cause affigri- p U }j ed whtn the arret firft came out ? Did not con | thediredtory maintain that ground till driven forti off by the powerfnl arguments of the legif- rew: lative body of France ? Has not the diredt- c l„d 1 orv lately taken refuge in that miferaßle, tore llimfyhole calltd a Role d'Equipage, which m ; rr , m rauft soon be rendered untenable by the lu- q„,'p minous arguments of Segur, Paftoret, and ro ] e , other honest and enlightened men in France ? jj-i What good end was intended to be produc- the J ed by this new-fangled pretext ? Did it ever no t , enter into the imagination of man til Hat- 01lct . ly, t® suppose that a simple lift of the names long s of the crew of a vessel would eftablifli the evi-! was , I dence of its being neutral property ?Is it not ; ry c • revolting to common fenfie and common hon- Wha eft-y, to hear the fame lips to day jnftifying f f wer French depredations, which, yesterday, were ca p t: *>■ ciying out in every quarter of the city, t he < V French robbers, villains, pirates," and a p a (Tp long train of opprobrious epithets ? Would at t h ( not decisions in rtur courts of justice against q U j re the insured eftabli(h the justice of what, by crc d all but Jacobinic Americans and Frenchmen, e flf has till lately been declared piracy ? Would etiligl k not a single decision by any one of our ]yi a r(l J ■ courts of justice in favor of the underwrit- Segui trs, eftablifli a principle that would gladly f oun d be grasped at by the French nation, and p rant forever preclude any of our injured and al- heade mod ruined from tho possibility of ar ,tly ever recovering a single (hilling from France ? conc [ ( With what face could we demand reditu- nl j | tion for the immense property we have been p U l ou robbed of, if the robber brings forward our ons , own authority to juftify his condudt? teradt! Ought our government to lay under the im- t i C e fc putation of ignorance and raftincfs in fend- a ti on ing forward envoys extraordinary to redress men v wrongs', which we have never sustained, by right affording the people who have injured us frivol' the opinions and decisions of our own citi- driven zens and tribunals to jultify their criminal t h> iui condudt ? Have not all the translations of g C5> t our treaty with France erf 1778, rendered the ab the words " Role d'Equipage"—a lift of , an y e , the crew ? Have not our vessels; at the re- s in g f r f quest and order of our Executive, been fur- an( j ro nifhed with a lift of the crew during the cc whole of the present war in Europe ? Did not the "diredtory formally annul the treaty , of 1778, 011 account ot our late treaty with Great Britain, previous to its decree refpedt ing the Role d'Equipage ? What right then O" ru< had the diredtory, after the eiiadtion of such a decree, annulling the treaty of 1778, to issue this arret refpedting the Role d'Equi page ?Is it not better, both in an humane cam. us well as.commercial point of view, where apply ic the scales of justice are equally poised, al ways to incline in favor of the insured? How much more imperiously do the present j" circumstances, where justice is evidently OA and glaringly on the fide of the insured, demand a decision against the underwriters ? In (hort, did not the insurer warrant and willfrt defend the property of the insured against for fom piracy, aud do not the French themlelvts Sept, * f u " directory pirates ? Let every lioneft, impartial, humane arid patriotic mind seri ously cr»nfider all the foregoing important questions, and I feel a pleasing confidence ,f' ng ' that ever y attempt to mislead ae- the pubic mind on this intcrefting fubiedt, tZ T" H*.

A foreigner observed, one day in the be gining of August last, that the citizens of Philadelphia were the most afitive, industri ous, and sagacious in acquiring wealth, 'of any j people he had ever known, and he had p u b travelled—but, added he, they are strangely improvident in grudging such a proportion, of their riches as would give a permanent value to their pofleffions ; and in the end. A 1 prove them to be true economists. The ci- g ty, said he, js now threatened with a second f 0 rifitation of t>i fever which proved such a <■ fcourgein 1793. The real lot's of property to tl sustained that year, amounted probably to a enc sum much more than fufficient to defray the E nv < expense of draining off all the Ihgnated wa- 0 f t h ters in the neighborhood, and introducing, hono ft reams from distant fountains that ftiould j o ,irr perpetually flow thro', and wash all the „i ent streets and sewers of the city. Situations in Europe had, by these meaij.s, been ren dered healthy, fvhich before had proved ® grave-yards to all who attempted to rdide in them. These remarks might be enforced by a xx '" thousand considerations which result from a m ;(v. contemplation of the aftual state of things in V pjfe! this city and neighborhood.
