SATURBAY EVENING, March 24.
A letter received by yefterdayi mail fays,
The captain of the veflel arrived at Gloucc
fter from Uochelle informs, that it was re
ported at Rochelle, that the Direftory had
prppofed to the Council of Five Hundred,
that as John Adams was in the pay of Eng
land, all veflels having his name on their
papers should be condemed as good prize,
and that the captain's merchant told him
the taxes there were so enormous that he had
paid for the last year more than he had for
35 years before.
Flagiliora Facinora.
The Chief Magi(lrate of a free, sove

States who made the grerteft exertions in

duced by the fame culprit as the friends of

Piracy and murder juftified and applauded
by a wretch whose gullet had a narrow

A wretch whipped out of one city for

to slander, and falfehood to falfehood in the
face of the rudest and mod palpable confu

MR. FENNO,
I am' sorry to hear that the Germantown
Turnpike bill has polled a second reading in
thefenate of this state without a single a
mendment ; if this is the cafe and the bill
should in its present shape become a law, it
will never be carried intoeffeft, for its pro
visions are such that no m3n in his senses,
will become a übferiber—The road is to be
extended to Reading, and if not compleat
ed in ten years is to revert to the state and
consequently all that ftiall have been expen
ded will be forfeited—True it is, that gales
may be put up when the road is compleat
cd ten milet, .and if the. company caH be
reimbursed within that time, the money ex
pended thereon, there will he no lnft ; but
can it be supposed that the toll will be fuf
ficient for that purpose ?—The people of
Montgomery county and others travelling
that road can avoid it by going one mile
round : and as new roads may be laid out
through that county so as to make that dis
tance much less, there can be 110 doubt but
measures will be taken by those who are op
posed to the Turnpike road to lead people
another direction, and thereby render this
artificial road almost entirely unproductive—
The company are fubjeci to so many reftric
liable to such numerous prosecu
tions, that nothing i:hl }• v 1 i * l - ni "fix
ation can attend them. And as those who
it might beexpefted would be the principal
fubferibers will be fubje<?t to an enormous
toll, whilst others who will fubferibe b«t lit
tle will be almost exempt, it cannot be pofii
ble that the fubfeription will 511. If thib
bill is compared with the Lancaster Turn
pike aft, it will be found that the toll on
pleafura'ole carriages will be 50 per cent
higher, and the toll upon carriages of bur
then, 30 per cent lower on the German
town than on the Lancaster road. Is this
reasonable ? Is it just ? Is is probable that
'the owners of pleafarable carriages will do
any thing to an aft so unjust in princi
ple into efFeft ?
I do not mean to censure the member of
the house of reprefentatives-who was the
warmed oppoferof this bill, for the amend
ments which he offered and which in faft
will entirely prevent it frcm being carried
into effeft. lam disposed to think that he
thought them right ; but I am sorry he
was so much mistaken ; for had he thought
as correftly upon this fubjeft as he does up
on mod others which come before the legis
lature, he might have rendered his country
an effehtial fei^ice.
It is to be hoped that the senate will a
mend the exceptionable parts of this bill
when it is read the third time ; and if that
should not be done, there can be no doubt
but it ought to receive the governor's nega
tive ; for then we might stand a goodchance
of obtaining a bttter law at the next ftf
fion of the assembly ; but if it should pass
into a law it is very doubtful whether the
legislature would make any alterations in it
in less than two years even if there was not
a single fubferiber. A CITIZEN.

MR. FENNO,
A writer in your paper of the 10th in#, after
making a Ibort quota ion from Da'jyniple, con
certiing the hiltory of England, • which aflrrts that
itshiflory is that of liberty, and of its fpirirupon
the conflitution, Religion; wealth, powor, and a
bove all, upon the dignity of the national character "
As the man faid'-of Ht-rcnles; " Wbo impeached
Hercul.s ?" \\ ho impeached the Epg'ilh nation
al charader ?
The- writer appears, however, to be a very
young; nian, at .raft in historical knowledge, if
>» hat he has published may be aken as the result
of his Oudies. 1 here are many particulars in
which we cannot place tha most Oeady credit in tif
toriai«s ; and we know that this mod impartial Wif
tory oJ England, and the bell, that has ever been
published as far as it was perfciled, was written by
- J re <h nan, who was himfelf an adorin some of
the important tranfadions upon which he has
written; [mean Raptn de Ihoyras, Neverthe
i»fs, excellent as that history is, there are particu
lars initwhichhave not received the uniform assent
of well informed msn.
But is it really true what Dalrymple dates ? I
admire as much as any man the great charaders
wl ich England has produced ; 1 admire the trial
y J u ';» - 1 -->»*-'-eas corpus ad, and general Inirir
ot liberty whichTfas DcL in that nadon
Yet, permit me to diflfent frrtm DalryiupU,
from writer who has adopted his fVntimenti.
To difput« upon the principles of liberty at this
time of day would indeed be a work of supereroga
tion, as it would he the extreme of absurdity to fay
the history of England is that of liberty ; it would
hr* at heA tut a comparative history, and we should
exc.ude all antiquity, as well as the eighty years
war of the Dutch, and the noble struggle of the
Swif-, in order to pay a compliment that is not
warrantad even in itfelf.
It would be in like manner as ah(W<i to talk of
of the English constitution. Th at baft been very
tSo r oughly invefttgar«d ; and would not now af
ford any very irit}ru»fUve information in addition
to what is known. As to its influence upon relig
ion, I fear the history of Engl nd' is not very in
ftru&ive whether it is confiJcrfid under Henry
VIII. or Mary, James I. or George II with great
delerctice I urge it, the history is far from delight
ing to any mind of sensibility or liberality. If
wealth and power arc in therr.felves, independent
of the means by which they are acquired and (he
ends to which they are applfed, the proper and juil
objects of admiration; there I will acknowledge
t"at. I know of no nation which def rves the attcn
tion of mankind, thtre is none that merits the most
ftr <sl and minure curiosity more than England. 1
do not fay how that riches and that power have
be- n produced and employed, pcrh ps it is therein
the " dignity #f the national charader" is to be
best difccrned. If your Qprrefpor.dent would o
blige with his ideas on this further in illuf
tratiori, perhaps 1 may be mistaken as t>> his know
ledge of thefubjeA; as to the reft his observa
tions it is impoftible for us to make things bttter
in France, theyfeem blindly regardlef* of all the
wilt'em which we can them ; so let them
proceed they like, so they do not meddie witli
ouraff'irs I hope they may continue to "con
quer their own felicity," as your eorrefpondent
fays, and let us alone. I hope when your corref
pondent has paid a little regard to the history he
has written about, he will let us hear from him
fomefa»sU, as they are much bnter than any Yague
assertion bf any Writer whatfoevier.

Capt. Hays has arrived here this day
from Rochelle. He confirms former ac
counts of French politics being much op

ther that they were carrying their system of
depredation to the summit. He gives a re
pert that was current in France when he fail
ed, that the executive direftory had propos
ed to the council of Five Hundred to pass a
law making all American vessels good prize
which should have on board papers signed
by John Adams ! ! as they view him an
emissary from Pitt. He adds, that it was
the general opinion at Rochelle, that the
requeft.pf the direftory would not be refuf

to refute the many falfhoods which contin
ually ifTue from the jacobin prefTes in the
United States :—But we cannot forbear to
remind the people, the -Aurora, and fts co
pyists, have affirmed and le-affirmed, that
our Executive has for months past received
letters from our commissioners in France, and
that it had concealed them. Proofs of the
falfhood are now before the public. Were
they worthy notice, it would be as easy to
demonstrate the absurdity and turpitude of
nine tenths of the jacobiu assertions, as it is
this.
From Malaga.
Capt. Henry Atkins arrived last evening
from Malaga, which place he left the 4th of
Feb. informs, that just before he failed, it
was reported and believed, that the French
had renewed hojlilities againjl Portugal, and
had marched an army of 50,000 men towards
Lisbon. The French capture all neutrals,
W..,nd to any ports in the Mediterranean,
and carry them in for adjudication.
Capt. Atkins, in long. i2,lat. 35, spoke

it woul.l be putting money into thepockets
of our citizens, and giving life and a&ivity
to business of every kind.
ARM ! or STARVE !
The Jacobins to a man are opposed to
arming our vessels, or fitting out a finale
ship of war. They well know, that ow
ing to French gun-boat piracies, our mecha
nics and artificers are almost starving ; and
that the moment Congress gives leave to
our merchants to arm, and orders naval
yards to commence building new ships, that
they will, find full employment.—THlS IS
FACT ! The moment the newt arrives that
the merchants shall have liberty to arm their
vessels, not an ax, hammer, or mechanic
implement will be idle. Business will afTume
its adivity ; and the rnufic of the cunning
workman will be heard on all our wharves.
The French have broken down every barri
er of the treaties mado" in the name of the
most holy and undivided Trinity They
have declared, in the teeth of those treaties
and the law of nations, that the ships of all
countries, kindredand climes shall be a good
prize to them, if they have a bale of Eng.
lifh goods on board, and bound from or to
any port.—Those treaties and the laws or
tiaiior.s, give belligerent powers the right
to search neutral vessels—But as the French
have declared by their late decree, that they
were null and void, we have ne right to be
governed by tlicm, as they refpeft France ,

COMMUNICATION.
Whatever delusions, the iuftpufiog afpe<S
of the French revolution, in its early.fta
gei, may have produced, the condudl of
the dire&ory will now admit of but «ne in
terpretation ; .and all the fine spun, flatter
ing theories of liberty, equality and the
rights, of man, have terminated in one of
the most flagitious, lawltfi dominations,
that ever the human race was doomed to
groan under. But the usurpers are Readily
advancing to their ruin, in the fame steps
of all their predecefTors in violence and out
rage. Peace, which is ever the bane of ty
rants, they'dread of all things, and there
fore war must be carried on, 3s long as any
pretext can be found for its continuance, or
any plunder remains to feed the rapacious
appetites of the soldiery.
Their objeft now, it seems, is to carry
the blessings of liberty and equality into
England, in which the tyrants very artful
ly avail themselves of tke national sentiment
of rivalry and hatred Jo that country. A
sentiment, so ardently glowing in the hearts
of Frenchmen, that not even the horrors
of - the revolution have been able to extin
guish it 5 and which the aristocrat, who
flies from the guillotine, teelg in common
with the jacobin, wfco diretts ft» operations.
This is probably the best scheme "they could
have fallen upon, to blind the people to their
outrages, and to gild the nefarious measures
of their government. Their armies too,
must be employed at all events, as lcifure
might be dangerous, and fugged to them
the sacrilegious idea of turning their aftns
opon their amiable matters.
