NEW- YORK, December 22.
Tcflerday capt. Hervty, of the (hip Ellice,
belonging to this port, and passengers, arrived
in town from New-Haven.
The Ellice was captured on the Bth Novem
ber, in lot. 36, 16, long. 68, 44, called, as
they underflood, the Brutus, commanded by
capt. Cauvet,from Porto Rico, who put capt.
H. ar.d his passengers, twenty-eight in all, on
board the brig Fama, captain Brufenburgh, of
Bremen, bound to Baltimore, which vessel they
had detained on thefame day. Capt. Hervey's
ill health would not permit him to proceed with
the Ellice—he, however, sent Mr. John
Gardiner, his chief mate, and Mr. John
Morgan, Clerk to Mejfrs. IVm. and j.
Hervey, of this place, to claim and defend the
property.
Ihe fame privateer captured the fame day
the brig tliza, capt, Harrington, from Am
fieri Im, bound to Philadelphia, on pretext of
her having been in several ports in England
since fie left Holland. The crew and passen
gers of this vessel were also put on board the
brig Fama, in ail It. They prom fed citft.
H. that they would fend fufficient provifirms
and waterfor their support to Baltimore ; they
were however, fuffcrcdto bring with them but
about forty pounds of beef and pork, one hun
dred weight of bread, and a few bottles of
porter qnd brandy, after much perfuajion the
capt. of the privateer gave them about one
hundred gal oris of water. They cruelly cut
and beat several of capt. Harvey's crew for
attempting to bring away more provisions. The ,
crew of the Brig Eliza, were not fuffered tj
bring away any provisions whatever.
They remained on board this vessel, 53 in
number, for twenty eight days, and had fuffered
for the greater part of that time for what of
provilions and water, having been at an at
litwance of three half p':r,!i of water nnd an

them with two barrels flour, fomt potatoes, one
barrel of beef, and about twenty gallons of
water, /with which they concludedflill to at

they (poke the (hip Eliza, of Bremen, bound
to Baltimore, who supplied them with t\vo hun

We learn that the Ellice, capt. Harvey,

ships of war, out of France, who feverelly
examined the (hips paper 3, who then dis

PHILADELPHIA,
SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER aj.
Wednesday morning the workmen at tlie
new Bank of the United States (truck thtir
fcaffolding, and unfolded the novel anil en
chanting (cei)e of a truly Grecian Edifice,
composed of American white marble.
The entrance to this building is by a flight
of nine (teps through a Portico, in its pro
portions nearlycorrcfponding to the front of
the celebrated Roman temple at Nifmes; the
Pediment is supported by fix columns of the
order of Corinth, with the decorations they
bore at Palmyra and Rome when architecture
Was at its zenith in the Auguflan age; ten
Columns in Relievo of the fame order and
proportions support the principal front; the
tympan of the pediment is adorned with the
arms of the United States ; there is one
door in the centre with windows in each
of the interftic*s ; all the ornaments are
diftind, graceful, and appropriate, but too
difficult to describe minutely without the
pencil's aid.
As this ii the firft finifhed building of a
ny consequence, wherein truetafte and know
ledge has been difplayedin this country; it
is a pleating task to inform its inhabitants,
that the architect is an American, and was
born in the ft ate of Maflachufetts.
We are glad to observe that he has been
iarfful not to encourage by his example, the
innovations of those pretenders to faience,
who not knowing on how solid a basis the
antients cftablilhed their principles, have
vainly imagined themselves able to make im- '
provements; but whose futile endeavours
have only produced a multiplicity of incon- (
gruous parts, awkwardly huddled together, i
fatiguing the eye and diftrafting'the attenti
on. On viewing this building, the firft im- :
preffinn is, one plain and beautifully propoi
tioned whole. On a more pice infpe&ion, '
the eye searching for decoration, is richly
gratified, finds every thing of its proper size
and in its proper place, (plendid with ueat
nefs, nothing deficient, yet nothing croud
ed. fufiiciently striking but not abruptly
obtrusive, combining to form an elegant ex
hibition of simple grandeur and chaste mag
nificence.
It may now bejuftly affirmed, that agri
cultural and commercial perfuits are not the
sole objedts of America's attentiou ; but
that arts and sciences have already raised
their infant heads with all the fvmptoms of
beauty, health and vigor, that promise a
strong and rich maturity. Happy land !
how delightful are thy distant
while the full grown empires of Europe are
wafting their vigour in enervating luxuries,
and exhausting each ethers strength by re
lentless wars, and all their attendant hor
rors, benign philosophy, fisk of the defo
latiug scene, bends her ftudiqgs eye with
mild complacency towards the western
world, where enlightened freedom, honed
independence, and smiling peace, are pre
pared to welcome the celestial visitant.
It appears by an arrival at Portsmouth N.
H. »hat the Marquis La Fayette arrived at
Hamburgh in October. He was to fail for
Philadelphia in the John, two days after
capt. Hall, who arrived at Portsmouth on
the 13th Dec. in 49 days.
As I was coming from Gray's ferry, a
bout 10 o'elsck last night, I was attacked
by three ruffians about 100 yards from the
bridge, who with a pistol holding to my
bread, demanded my money, which I was
forced to give them, even dividing it in 3
parts, each one had a part, and told me to
go to town.

MefTrs. Printers,
Looking over your ufeful paper, of the
20th inft. I found a pieee entitled " The
Royalist" —a piece as unintelligible to rn;,
as the doftrine of PhilofophicalNeccflity and
Free Agency is with the doftriaes of the
Gospel. The author firft describes and ex
tols the happiness and obedience of our firft
parents; in which he appears to yield his as
sent to Revelation, and then coacluding his
pedantical publication by wishing for the u
niversal conquest of French Democracy:
(A solecism to all except a Socinian, or a
disciple of Priestley.) A system totally op
posed to all religion, and proved by fatal ex
perience to be subversive of all laws Civil or
religious. I knowof but one way to exten
uate the fault of the sfmor Libertatis. that is,
by fuppoling him just flown from the walls
of a College, and cenfequently ignorant of
that pefliferous fountain which has issued
ft reams to the inundation of the greater part
of Europe, and is bow undermining the
foundation of our own government, cement
ed with the blood of Americans !
To give the young gentleman a little po
litical knowledge, should he again undertake
to define chara&ers j the following, in his
own language, may give him the true defini
tion of a modern Democrat.
thr DEMOCRAT.

the fallacious solicitation of Satan,"
who was the firft Democrat that firft rebell

have soon fallen a prey to wild beails ; or
the not less ferocious monsters who held the
dodlrine of equality ; had not they associat
