fcandi of the nrft !?ild sr-d ficti on that mav choose to -fan) tljuoi. The gentleman from Virginia ivieed ad mits, that if the er.voy went to invit: war, instead of securing peace, it would be highly criminal; and in this admission he has given the death blow to his own principle ; for vhen the envoy goes for the oltenlible pur jrofe of feci) ring p-.ace, how are we to be as sured that the real, though secret purpose is not to invite war ? War may happen to suit a faftion better than peace ; and in that cafe they, would fend an envoy to invite or to hast en it; but they would, never avow this ob ject. It would be too odious. Therefore the miflton would be covered under the plau fihle pretext of securing peace. The public and ofte nfi'ole a£ls of the agent would wear this complexion His secret negociations ■would point to the other objeft. If the prac tice be admitted who shall guard us against the perversion of it ? Who shall afTure us that thsfe felf conftitut:d missionaries" of peace, will not be inviters and guiders of in vasion ? Who shall afTure us, that the very ejnbaffy now in question, had not this for its real objeft ? that the envoy, instead of the language which I formerly supposed him to .have held to the dire story, did not address them to this effect, " Now is your time. I>ofe not a moment. The i'piritof the nati on is riling. Vigorous preparations are go ing 011. A linall force, aided by your party in|Ar.)ifica, may now iijffice, but if you de lay long, the enterprise will become very difficult, perhaps impracticable. In a fliort time, the nation will be ia arms, and your ivirty, without timely and efficacious assist ance, will be entirely broken." In many situations, which may readily be imagined, this would be the natural secret language of the nuiTumary of a faction, whose efforts to prevent defensive preparations might be as grtat, and whose outcry about Peace" might be as loud asthofe we have witnessed during the la ft two years. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gallatin) who proceeds with more caution, has not venturedto juftify this rriffion direct ly, but he has done it in a mors complete, though an indirect manner. He has contend ed that the impropriety of such afts m'uft be tftimajed hy the objeft for which they'are done.' If that objeft be, in an abftraft view, innocent or laudable, the aft may be juftifi ed. This t aniounts to the old Jesuitical and Jacobin principle adverted to by my friend from Maff.xhufetts (Mr. Otis) To at the end justifies tbe means, a orinciple which.in its ap plication to human affairs, is the most wicked and iiifciiievous that th- heart of man ever imagined. Let a man once be convinced of thi* principle, and he is immediately freed from every moral or religiwus restraint, from all the ties of nature, and the feelings of hu manity. He is himfelf to judge w;lie'fierthe <nd be a goo;! one ; an.l thisdicifion will be • according to his passions and his intereHg. The means are then la.d open before hi There are, for i. fiance msr.y p-.-rfo s in this count y who think it a mod defira. le objeft to procure a change of adminillration, and of fyftcm, in our government. C evince their, of the tru.h of this pri cipl , "That if the objeft be a go->d one, the afts d >nc to attain it may be jollified." In other words " T .-t the means ar«. juftified by the end aho whcth#rthey will employ affaffinatio , tvfu - reftion, foreign influence, or foreign f rce, or all of them togethet,, becomes a queflio , not of m rality, b it of mere expe lienty Of all the vngi es employeri by th- m"defi overturuers of lociety, this principle has aftH with th? most de 'iuftive efficacy : and accordingly, it is pr. ached with t e i-reateft *eal, by all ( he modern apotlles of infurrcc tion. The gentleman from. Pennsylvania has en tertained the hou'fe, aftd amused himfelf, with feme very ingenious diftinftions about the technical meaning of the word " negocia tion." An agent of this kind, he fays, can not negociate, because to negotiate is to con clude a treaty, which such an a.ent conld not do. It must, however, be observed; that the word negotii ie is not used in the resolution, which speaks of correfjxmdiog ■with any foreign government, or any fub jeft in difpiite between such government and this countiy. Pxrfides, Mr. Speaker, even if the technical diplomatic meaning of the •word negociate were such as the gentleman from Pennsylvania has stated, which is by »o means the cait, yet we know thai its common acceptation, in ordinary difcourft, is to propose a plan on any fubj ft, to dif eufs that plan fettle its terms, and arrange its various ttipulations. In this sense, an agei t of this kmd might negociate a treaty with a foreig ■ power; might admit into it conditions whvly incompatble, in the o pinion of the government, with the good cf the country ; might bring it a id efTcr,it to the government so accept nc ; a *,c: should the government refufe it, how: vei Wifely, might pilblilh it to the people, an ♦trploy it as an inftr iment of faction 10 ex cite discontent depriva he gr.»ernmerit ol pub'.ie confidence, and force it, by theft mears into a rni .ous treaty, repugnant t its own judgme-'t, and the true intrrefts of the country. All this might be effefted by such a mifii >n, no'withftanding th« ii otjs diftinftions of the gentleman from Penn sylvania, and according to the conftruftion which lie has put on the term negociate. This, indeed, is the very course that would no doubt, be pursued, as being mod likely toaccomplifh the views of a faftion conneft ed with the enemy gov rnment. It is, how ever, only one out of numberlcfs methods, in which such an intercourse, were any gov ernment weak enough so permit it, might be employed for its deftruftion, aud ruin of the ceuntry.

It now appears, that Capt. Lorirrg, being diftrefled for men, applied to Capt. PKilipi for such British seamen a* he had on board. It is added, that, on Capt Phillips's expref sing his reluftancr to part with any of his men, the Commodore fen: armed boats, and took out fifty five men, of which he retained five, returning the reft. This latter part of the (lory is absurd, and is no doubt not l<!fs unfounded than the thousand other mifre prefentHtions which have been circulated. On the quellion of right in this cafe, a few remarks occur. By the law of nations, the controul of a power over its fubjefts, un. der any circumflanCes, .in any fit nation, is indisputably clfcar. The Retaliation had a right to board the Queen and demand every American seaman in her, and had she done so, they would have been given up : Every British commander has express inftruftion3 to do so. It is not to be prefumcd, ho a - tver, that such cases are to become common. Circumstances may exist to render the prac. tice oppressive. Were it general, however, Britain and not America, would be the fuf ferers by it. Rendering due homage to that aftive jealcufy, which is so unremittingly alive to the great interetts of National Indepen dence, it may neverthehfs be politic, by tempering it with proper rcfleftion, to bar it from running into an excef* which may jultly incur ridicule and contempt. Britain a d America are engiged'in a common war with an infernal enemy—lt is essential that the popular indignation be in no degree diverted from the outrages of that common en-my. But this is tke direst t«n de'.cy of all the execrable cant that Aat been pound forth on thi" fubjeA, After all, on w: ot is the bluster founded ?'On the ■dea that Britain will condtfceiti—this very preemption re der» any step unnecessary. It is presumed we are not to compel Eng. laid to give up her principle; All that C 8 < with any ftnfe be sard, is— If Commodore Lor eg was in distress for men, and politely requ.fled them of Capt. Phillips, it is a pity he did not supply him. If capt. P 1 llips found it fit to evade the re quest it is a pity commodo e Lonng had iint waved it. On the who'e, the occur nee is Hot be regretted—as it will produce an undemanding on a point which if left U' fettled might have given rife to a mure unpleasant scene; and it has given 3ti op- ! portunity.to the advocates of Government to evince their jealousy on a point of na tional pride, and to refute the foul calum nies of the faftioti of levellers. The witty editor of the Walpole Muse um, observes that the 1 capture of Alexandria by Buonaparte, was like taking- the borough of Old Sarum. Jackson, the Democrat, and G< pernor of Georgia, has issued his proclamation, declar ing Benjamin Taliaferro and James Jonei, Esquires, members of the next Congress. TIT FOR TAT, Or, more abput Goose-traps. Mr. Fknno, I HAVE noticed a paragraph in your oaper refpefting the new Insurance Compa- Y, or Companies if you pleale ; for though - have not seen the scheme of more than .me, yet I am an advocate for both, if both re wanted ; and I have heard several of our :10ft refpeftable gwulemeir in trade fay, that' :ie existence of several companies, by re icing tlie present high prices of infiaranCe, /ould prove generally beneficial to ouir >tintry. I have also heard it said that a genilcmari, 't far from 169 Chcs-n tit-street, has joined 1 the opposition to the prcpofed additional •>mpany or companies, and that the tudfetous tory of a Goose-trap in the Philadelphia Ga ette, was told by. him before it appeared in hat paper,—in application to new Bank and '•durante Companies, " wherever th«re were thers already f'ufßcimt for all the purpofts pfbufuiefs." —It wasthfc Hon. Mr. Harper, I think, who told us it. was dangerous for ihofe to throw (tones who reside in glafs loufes—fuch was the obllrvation of a gen tleman at the Coffcc-houft, last Saturday veninn, while the Goose-trap story was in circulation, when the following « Goose . ■ aps (the gentleman must excuse me, 'tis II appellation of his own fixing) originated by him, were enumerated in a circle of friends: The Union Bank of the state of Maffa ihuftttr.

As I do not mean to bs fevers' on the gentleman, but merely to remind him of his own glass-bouses and goose-traps, I will now proceed to a point of more importance. If more public inftitations, like those of Insurance Companies and Banks, are really wanted, let a petition go forward to open, on a given day, a public fubfeription, that all who choose to adventure may have an equal chance with the original trap-makers, and let there be a stipulation that part of the money so raised (hall be employed for bring ing water into the city, and for the fake of this last object only will I fublcribe my mite. NO GULL, Extract of a letterfrom a Gentleman in Lon den, dated October 1798. " Nelson's viftory off tlje Nile has been more glorious and decisive than any record ed in the annals of naval battles. " Buonaparte arrived at Alexandria three days after the English fleet, on their firft vi sit, had left it. Alexandria was immediate ly taken pofleffion of; a corps of 5000 troops were left there ; and Buonaparte with about 18,000 men proceeded to Cairo, which he entered on the 22d of July. Th<s landing and progress of the French were ivft!>e? by the Mamthikes and Arabs, and though the contc!is were always unequal ; thert is roa fon to believe that the French have fuffered considerable loss. ' " Several •'advice boats have been taken with Buonaparte's dispatches, and a great number of private letters, i'ojne of the latter written sinCe the.deftruftion of the fleet: they are all in a desponding stile, describing the difficulties to be much greater than were ex]jedlcd ; the army to be. wafting with dif eale, and on every motion harialt-d by the Arabs and country troops, bo little has been the success in revolutionizing the pub lic opinion, and so adiive and heftile are the Egyptians, that not ci'en a ictter can be fsnt from Cairo to Alexandria without an escort of 60a horle ! The Porta whv.-n Buo naparte hoped to conciliate by declaring a gainst the Beys, and profeffing a deference I for the Ottoman Power, issued a declaration ! of war again ft France on the ad of Septem ber, the immediate consequence of which was th« fending of the French charge d'af j faires to the Seven Towe*, and the arrest j of all the French throughout the Turkifli dominions and the sequestration of their goods. " The ultimate objeft of Buonaparte is India ; but his compleat establishment iti Egypt was firft to be actoimplifhed. A let ter from the coinfnifTary general complains ..of their want of proviuoni, and particular ly of wine or of some substitute, without which the waters and climate of Egypt will, in his opinion, in a short time destroy the ar my. Buonaparte himfelf isdiiappointedahd dejefled ; in a private letter to a friend at Paris, he reveals his despondency, expresses his intention to return to Paris this winter, and gives orders that his house lhoyld be kept prepared to receive him. Letters frpih Tallien to his wife, written after the battle which he saw, and of the difaftrons issue of which he fays he was about letting out to carry the news to Buonaparte, breathe the fame rtgretS-and di {appointment."
