THE ENTERTAINMENT
CI VEN BY THE CITIZENS OE NEW.YORK TO
JOHN ADAMS,
PRESIDENT OF THp. UNITED STATES. '
In contemplating the rapid progress of an enlig(i- '
tened. nation to the fummic of public virtue arid <!
hanpinefs, there is perhaps no circumstance more '
defervingraf our notice and admiration, than tbat ,
which evinces the gratitude of a people toward
those illuflrious who have eminently
contributed to their prosperity. 1
Under any perind of time of which any annals L
are preserved, wc ('iffover this proper propanfity t
to reward diftii%;ui(hed and ufefu actions. The ,
mannar of conferring these marks of public grati
tude, has varied according to the state focie'y '
in which the a<3ion», which were its oV>je&, have c
been performed. The additional infentives which
a virtuous mind mud feel for devoting its bed ex
ertions to the public welfare, arc too obvious to ]
be particularly mentioned ; a d the advantage
which r/fult» to society, from a grateful notice of
them, i.« univcrfally acknowledge^.
Among a people poffefling To extensive privileg
es (and those privilegei so wrll secured) —in a na
tion also equally enlightened as ours, the danger of
exceflive adoration is reduced to a phantom. It
canntver be exereiled. No man can look for, or
obtain, more than the warm yet rational express
ion of the joy and gratitude of the Aaiericin
People.
Partial ebullitions, illy direfled, will occasion
ally occur among every people : But in a country
happily situated as ours, thsfe will b* seldom found
of \mericans, the result will in the end ba gene
rally favorable to tranquility and public virtue.
Indulging this idea, we take pleafurein noticing
the attention paid by our fellow citizens to the pre
sent Chief Magiftrstc of the Union.
Agreeable to arrangements, an entertainment
wa* yesterday given to the PreCdent, at th« New ti
City AfTembly Room, Broadway. p
Upwards of three hundred citizens were seated w
iat this entertainment, prepared by Mr. De La ,
Croix ; which for elegance and talle has never been
equalled in this city.

quarter of the world. They c»nfi(led of—l- A

was fixed the figure of Wisdom, having in one
hand the bust of President Adams, and in the oth- mm
era garland of rofesrntwining sixteen columns, re- ~
presenting the States of America, with this inferip
tion, " May thele Rofcs which unite you, he al

There is a great deal of jargon in the
style of our anti-federal faftion. They fay
a free government is fupperted by opinion ;
they pretend to be friends to the Federal
government, and yet are inceflantly labor
ing to destroy th/s good .opinion which the i
people entertain of it.
Our government is representative ; to i- '
bufe the admiriiftration isto abuse the people :
who eleA the representatives ; and yet the ;
fadtion who do abuse it, call themselves
friends of the people ! 1
The British government is strong ; our 1
antifederal faction hate a " strong govern- j
ment," and yet they aflail the adminiftrati- <
on with weapons exadly similar to'thofe em- i
ployed by the minority in England against t
the British government. t
The faftion pretend to be friendly the 1
Constitution of the United States, though r
inimical to the adminiftralion ; but their c
weapons of attack against it, being proper c
for* a strong government only, it is evident
that if they succeed our coaftitution falls of t
course. c
This faftion wish either to subvert the f
constitution, or get themselves into power, d
One event perhaps involves the other ; both a
are to be equally dreaded. In the d
latter alternative, it is not presuming too d
much to fay, that they would make the d
, government strong enough, without consult- 1<
ing the people. n
The Federal interest has always been the w
prop and support of the union of the States, w
There is not a spark of jealousy extant that o
has not been struck from the anvil of the ti
anti-federal faftion This faftion speaks a tl
foreign language, it is in no meafurc assimi
lated to tb« spirit and genius of our country. r<
It i 9 nourished on our misfortunes abroad, Ih;
and droops under our union and prosperity p;
at home. The justice done to our claims in tl
England is ablow at its exiftence,and should pi
France (follow the British example and make fc
a righteous compensation, faftion would w
hang itfelf in despair—a eonfummation in ts
both cases devoutly to be wiflied- '
The Aurora has suggested to the French a<
government, the policy of interdifting the w
importation of fifh from the Eafteni states fii
,into the French islands. A correspondent w
remarked on the occasion, that the Aurora fc
man must have believed that the French pur- tc
chafed the fifh when they did not want, or b
could do without it. The eastern fifhermen al
are however just as much obliged to the
writer for his friendly hint, as if they did. th
It is not expeftedthat France should make th
any facrifice—we know she ne
ver did. When she cr4n.fr cur fifh ft e will of
sol- , buy it. That is <Joing at /nuoh as others

)f that, on the other hand, he cannot be w

tained in these very laws, in as much as the f f
forced sense, which is fought to be given to in
, the cxprefiion of the constitutional ad, j,j

y " Louis Lebegue Duportail, minister f u
; of war at the close of the feflion of the Ln
il constituent aflembly, and at the commence
- ment of that of thci legislative aflembly, U r
e was decreed in a state of accusation in the ~u
i night between the 15th and 16th of Au- cu
- gust : he partook in that proscription the a n
Cj fortune of Tarbe and the unfortunate Du- jsj",
e ; port Dutertre.
s " Strong in his own innocence, he wifti- Q t
ed to render himfelf Hp to iraprifonment in pi;

- prevent him. An old domefl-.c of the brave^
- general Gouvion, or rather his faithful
- friend, the citizen Moutonnier, who came
t to Paris in search of me, after the death of L;
that brave general, offered to Duportail, in jj e ,
: Paris, even in the very midst of th« volca- | yol
1 no, an asylum which' his generosity, his p] e
courage and his intelligence, rendered inai-. ]. n
r cefliblc to the tefearches of tyranny. _ e
t " General Duportail owes his fafety to t| o
: the severe precaution of breaking off all l ar
connexion, both with his family and his anc
friends ;he remained in that obfeure retreat
during twenty-two months and sixteen days,
and did not attempt to leave it, until the (-
decree which, afiailing with the stroke of of 1
death the crime of bofpitality, alarmed his Thi
delicacy, poisoned "all his gratitude, and no . at
longer permitted him to jeopardise his be
nefaftor..
H He left Paris the 3d of May, 17,94,
with the passport of an American officer,
who was happy in lending his afliftance to 0
one of those officers who had the most con
tributed in conquering the independence of
the United States.
" Before he left France, Duportail en- > wkj
registered in a public aft, deposited in the M
hands of the notaries Hua and Martin, in
prefencc of eight witnesses, a protest against
the violence to which he found himfelf com- jj :l

solemn reserve of his rights. You will hear i° ree

accusation against the courageous magistrate
who received from the minister this proses- A

was, a short; time aftfcr, dragged to the 2.

touching complaint of a citizen abandoned T
