j MR. FEHNO,
BE pleased through the medium of youc
ufeful paper, to tell the House of Delegates,
of the " great Dominionthat the United
Iri'fhmen who from an expe&ation of effec
tual support, from the " great nation" had
become extremely insolent, have not only
found their rebellion crulhed, but have (ex
cept where the royal mercy prevented it) paid
for their treason on the gallows ; and that,
as the exclusive patriots of the House of De
legates of th- great Dbiuinion, cannot rea
sonably expedt any more effe&ual support
i'roni the great nation, than their brother pat
riots, the United Irishmen have received,
it is time for them to recoiled, tVat we have
both hemp and energy of government in
this country. Frojn the resolutions of the
House of Delegates publilhed in your paper
of yeftei<day, I expedt, that hemp will'roon
be an article in high demand, and I therefore
intend to rail'e a plentiful crop the next sea
son as a profitable article of speculation.
NO JACOBIN.
Neither Gull nor Goose-trap.
MR. FEN NO, ,
I am neither concerned in making goose-
or catching gulls, but fevcral having
been contrived by a very ingenious gentle
man now oppoled to the eftablifhmen't of an
institution to correct and regulate his traps
and save the gulls from the springs of his
machines, I cannot withhold a word of ob
servation 0:1 such schemes.
I am told that a number of merchants a
greed on apian to ensure each other in filth
a manner as to them seemed molt fatisfa&o
ry, being individually concerned in obtaining
the bell security and at the easiest rate, for
property they are in habits of hazarding at
sea, the plan of a new insurance company
was suggested, they will give the inllitu
tion employment by a prefe*»nce of their bu
siness, and thereby participate in its good or
ill fortune. If by its good condudt, candor
and accommodation as to the credit for pre
miums and promptne'fs in paying lofles and
averages without litigation or delay, it is
cbferved to deserve a general preference
no doubt others will also apply to it for in
surance. i hat those points ere now much
wanted, is generally confefTed, and therefore
to be looked for in the expedted competi
tion, by which as in every thing else the
public njay be better but cannot be worse
served.
The lower premiums of insurance are, the
cheaper will all imported articles be brought
to market, and exa&lyin the fame ratio :
will our produce inhance in value for expgr- ]
tation, by being sent at a cheaper rate to so- ]
reign markets.
Ihe capital of this aflociation must be
employed, and the objeft of the contempla- ]
ted and necelTary loan seems molt oppor- ,
tunely to offer itfelf for the purpose which ,
will be a great facility to obtaining it on the ,
one hand, and a veiy agreeable mode of ,
vfnig it on the other.
Convinced that by another of those insti
tutions the public will be better served as .
they may or may not employ it, lam only j
sorry I am

,V«. FES'NO,
GIVE me leave, through your paper to 3
congratulate the editor of the Aurora, upon '
the acqnifition of a new correspondent. '
Front what has appeared in that paper
within a few days; concerning the New-En- r
gland Colleges, Sacrilege and General Woof- V
ter's Widow, it is very evident that a cer- , V
tain ci-devant Portsmouth Clergyman, bv •
the name of Ogden, a son-in-law of Mrs. !
Woofer, and late tenant of 01,e of the J
Prii'ons in the State of New-York is not
far difrant— , t
I will venture to conjecture, from the 11
character given of Col. Lyon, in that paper ?
of this - morning, that if the truth Thou Id
ever be known it wouid appear, that tbis fame °
disappointed ex-cler >yman was the bearer of !
the petition, in Col. Lyon's favor to the 1
Pr-firlen;— c
So natural is it fter An ambitious difap- a

A Jacobinical parson now in this citv, 1c
wfili a great dsal of sagacity, traces the dif- r<
fertnew, which at present subsist between 01
'he United Slates and France, to the reli- tl
S"" f trtolerrmce of the American people ! m
'' e pulpit, he fays, has ccndaritly rung di
v ''th en;bittiring denunciations against the ft
French religion—no wonder then that the
I r rich people were irritated ! Yet this
rnod ft go womanfalls himfelfan Epifcopa
!an ; declares war against the remaining ~
prejudices in religisn ; and calls on his fel
low laborers in the vii-eyard to co operate i:i
exploding them—"' clfe he will run away A
«vith the credit of the undertaking !" After j
~ I this, it w;iuM nrt'be (nfpri(rng if the Great
Nation fiio'dd add to the lift of ackuow
( ledgements we are to make in order to
- j pacify her— conceflions for our clergymen
| having vilified the molt holy Godbess of
i Reason !'
Among other evidences of the wretched
condition into which the Aurora and its
patrons are fallen, is that of their being de
9, pendent for many of their molt senseless and
lying paragraphs, on a crack'd Drain'd, fcnav
j ifli Episcopalian Clergyman from Connedti
' cut; who caHnot Itay at home, but leaves
j an amiable wife and family to fuffer the want
of common comforts, while he roan#..ibout
nd the country on foot in search of prey. Such
fellows matter for the Aurora
—there is a fitness of things in it, as
Philosophers fay.
Dr. Logan has publicly acknowledged that
he " carried two certificates of his citizenship
from persons who have been implicated with
himfelf refpedting his late journey to Europe, j
He is called upon to state what were the
contents of these certificates ; whether they
did not recommend him as a patriotic citi-
J1 zen, a firm republican, a friend to France,
'J and as a uian worthy of attention and confi
dence." If such should have been theirpur
id P or * was ' nc ' perfectly uaneceflary "to
carry any meflage, letter, or introduction,
J from any citizen in America to any citizen
■ j or public body in France." These conftitu-,
' t ted his credentials and like the signs of the
llluminati were no doubt well understood by
the correspondents of those who " are im.
plicated in his journey to Europe.
He fays that " be never conversed with a
. Ny person in France in their political capaci
' ty or as being in one himfelf." Is the man
mad, or does he mean to insult the under
-11 standing of the public by ihui lidiculoufly
playing upon the word converse. Let him
state to the public in what capacity he pre
sented his memorial to the diredtory, and if
he dare let him publish what were its con
L " tents.
THE PRESIDENT'S ANSWER
70 the GENERAL ASSEMBLY of the
State »f MART LAND.
Gentlemen, !>
AN eloquent address, adopted by
g the two hnufes of the gsneral afTcmbly of
_ Maryland, and signed on the fourteenth of
n this month by Mi>. Perry, the President of
s the senate, and Mr- Chapman, the speaker
s of the house of representatives, has been pre
. fented to me by Mr. Howard, one of your
senators in congress, in the absence of the o
ther, Mr. Ll<?yd.
b Convinced, a3 I have been, by ait at
- tentive observation of more than twenty
r years, that there is no state in this union
r whose public affairs, upon all great national
t occasions, have been condudted with more
> method, wisdom and decilion, or whose re.
- fults have been the effeft of a more compre
hensive and profound view of the fubjedt,
r than those of the state Maryland, I cannot
r receive the assurances of yeur entire and
■ cordial approbation of the meafwrcs of my
1 administration, without a fi'ngutar ferffation '
s of pride and pleasure;
What shall I fay to you, gentlemen, on 1
■ the fubjeft of deftrudtion of religion and en
' encouragement of loose principles ?I am not
' fond of introducing this sacred topic into
■ political disquisitions. But religion is the '
basis of moral obligation—of the effenc of
: all government ; the only ground of confi. '
dence between man and man, and the foun- '
dation of all society. Without it the world 1
would be a oniverfal and perpetual war of 1
artifice, intrigue, fraud, stratagem and vio
lence, of all men against all men. This at 1
least is my opinion, tho* I shall not p«rfe- 1
cute those who differ from me. 1
When religious libirty has been asserted (
by invincible arguments of the soundest di
vines, as well as the philosophers of this
century and thelaft ; when every engine of *
wit, satire, humor and ridicule, have been
Employed to discountenance intolerance, is i
the whole to terminate in a cruel and fan- .
guinary perfecntion of all religion ?In the '
annihilation of ail the sacred foundations of
rsoraiity, government and society ? Ameri
ca will not, I trust, be willing to be con
verted into a perfeft bedlam, whatever other
parts of the world may wish it.
At the time when, under every difoour- 1
agement, I was called by the fuffrages of t
very little more than half of the nation to r
the presidency of the general government, t
I was fully aware of the dangers that fur- j
rounded us, and of the perplexities that a
waited my administration. A refpotlfibihty
which might be determined, as my eleftion ; (
had been, by two or three votes, presented 1 C
itfelf before me, enough to have appalledja : f
heart poffefled of more fortitude than mine, j I
But at the course of my life had led me for n
twenty years through scenes which afforded \ r
me, perhaps more than any other America# si
opportunities of weighing the probable ef
fects of the spasms, convulsions and agonie<i
of a great nation, broke loose from all re- F
ftraint, in the centre of Europe, I thought
it might be as difficult for me as for any
other to txcufe myfelf from the trial. The
affeftionate and ardent support which I have j,
received from my fellow-citizens, has appear
ed much earlier, and more unanimous, than
my mod sanguine hopeshad ever anticipated. f .
In the generous and general declarations ]r
of fatisfaftion and approbation of my fel- a |
low-citizens, in all parts ot the union, I have t j
receivtda teward which I elleem above all
other prrfonal consideration in this life. No- C(
thing of the kind has excited my gratitude a ,
more sincerely than this magnanimous ad- n :
dress from the general assembly of Maryland p j
Moil cordially I w(h you all health and t y
happiness.
