Tbey baxvl for freedom i/t their senseless mv>d t
Yet still revolt when truth ivt.uld set them jree.
I.ICENCE they mean, when they cry LIBERTY,
For it/hh loves that must frst be -wise jnT.^ood.
Milton.
IF rational liberty was ever dear, and an
archy horrible and deftru&ive ; if the sacred
religion and pure' morality of our fathers,
was ever revered for its divine authority and
benign effefts ; if laws and customs produc
ed by the accumulated experience of ages,
have ever been ufeful to mankind ; if domes
tic comfort and fecial order was ever enjoyed
and duly eflimated ; if private virtue and
public integrity were ever juftand honorable ;
if, in fiiort, ail that can render life amiable
and desirable,—all- that can adorn and exalt
tiviliaed humanity,—have ever been duly ap
preciated, how great ihould be the alarm,
when danger'threatens in every fliape, and
from every "quarter ? If ; ever one period of
time was moW exigent and momentous than
■mother, it is surely the present ; when sedi
tion, in the gam of patriotism, stalks abroad,
profufely throwing oh every fide the feeds of
Jifpoptent apd discord ; when faction open
ly rears his unblushing front ; When, like
' the giant Antaus, it fecms to recovered
frefh ftrewgth from having been once beaten
to the ground, and now proudly hurls defi
a'.ce in our teeth : if the present important
C rifts will not arouse sluggish fupinenefs, and
invjgtorate torpid apathy, we may conclude
our fellow citizens topoffefs little more than
•■ejetable existence, and rank them with those
baleful weeds, whose dettruftive foecundity
rhoaks_ up the ul'cful gram.
This is not pontic fiction, nor empty de
clamation, tilt danger of oilr iituation cannot
be exaggerated, nor is it neceffiry to multi
ply terrors to excite unnecessary alarm, let
any one feri bully survey the conduft of Jaco
bir.S, and f:y if it is polTible for preparation
-j 1 tije too proiv.pt, and caution too keen and
(lithe faction in Virginia, and Tome adjoin
ing fUtes ; m~:rk their p'rqgrels,_tne mode by
which they have indefatigably prosecuted
their purposes ; and tremble at the alarming
height at which they have arrived. Tljcy
-Wive dared, yes, the majority of a single
state affemblv has openly dared to condemn
tvpe of'the firft of all conflitutional functions
in a 1. prefentative government, the pa fling ;
o? laws by a majority ; they have censured i
the chosen er x'utive of the peofile for carry- '
in,' those laws into effett ; and they have in ,
si i-is not to be misunderstood, invited the 1
people to refinance, by sophistical reasoning» j
inr.ofci upon their judgment by artful mis- (
1 . presentation, affefted humility, and the |
cam of public love, have inflamed their paffi- 1
oiis and left no means untried to excite re- '
■ ,;,?Uk>n. It is true theminority haveexprelTed
their abbrtvonr and indignation at such pro- 1
e-ciin-'-i. and" in their mod excellent and !
_ 1
ludici rs coiititer-Addrefs, by the faireft rea- ,
{ ;iing, and moll powerful argument, given
i complete refutation to the creed ef sedition. 1
But erroneous principles and moral depravity |
are ! i:li>m eradicated by argument : the ex- t
ofri nee of thi world may convince us, tlTat '
<
r ithing but coercive measures can curb iedi
tion, and tear Op the roots of anarchy. 1
What can a virtuous and enlightened minori- 1
tv do againff a partial and interelled majori
ty, with a turbulent, blind, licsntiouspopu
-1 \cc at tlwir command ? What shadow of
reason can be given for supposing they will
ftip here, and what preparation is there now
actually organized to oppofethem, fiiouldthey
go on ? Has any other Hate formally
their difapprcbation, and is there any ap
pearance of general indignation discovered
in the people ? no, it has passed by as the
common report of a day, the course of ex
change, or the price of flour. To convince
wouldbe fuffic-ent, if mankind weje general
ly virtu- us ; but the mass of men are neither
virtuous nor rational, they hau rather adopt
*:iy opinion, than be at the trouble cf think
ing for themfelvesand as re; son has no
Viflnence in the choice, the preference is ge
nerally given to what accords with their
f'rongeft paiTions and favorite piopenfuies.
This we all know, and every day offers
■ -flances ; yet if a man fancies he is right
h,n:felf> he is content to recline on
the idle couch cf mere fpcculative principle,
regarrilels of his neighbor, and taking' no
pains to practice or propagate, wffat can on
ly l»e rendered effectual bv energy and
activity. "Go to the ant, thou iluggard,
and be wife" said Solomon ; and the politi
cian may as. juflly fay to the negligent peo
ple, go to the manufacturers of treason, and
the artificers of rebellion, and learn to be in
dustrious ; it is n'ot by their virtue or their
aguxnent that they tan conquer us, it is by
their superior their energy, una
nimity and prfeverance ; surely then, it is
time to wake and fliake off the dreams of
falfe fecui'ity —to. ule tliat judgment which
truth induces—that courage which a good
cause. inspire:—and that vigilance and exer
, tion which alone can render abortive the in
trigues and menaces of our enemies.

LONG ItLAND. *
At a respeCtable meeting of a number of
' the inhabitants of the caftern part of the
townlhip ef Huntington, in the county
of Suffolk, and date of New-Tfork, held
at the house of Willets, in said.
town, on the third day of January, 1799
for th* purpofc of taking into considera
tion the prtfent tumultuous fituatioH of
our country, refpefling the present ad
iriniftration of government.
Resolved, That Moses Blachly be chair
man of this meeting, and that Daniel Keley
be clerk.
Resolved, That all meetings for . deliber
ating on public affairs ought to be convened
by public notice; and as a meeting has late
ly been held in this town for the said purpose
without fufficient public notice having been
prerioufly given to the inhabitanti thereof,
therefore,
Resolved, That we do wholly difapprovs
of 'he conduit of said meeting, being fully
persuaded the fen£e of the majority of the
people was not taken thereby.
Resolved, That we will support the Con
dilution of the United States, and ihe pre
sent administration thereof, in opposition to
that party spirit, which has for a long time,
and still continues to ditturb the repose and
tarnilh the chara&ers of enr fellow citizens '
in many parts of the Union.
Resolved, That when any town.pass res
olutions derogatory to the charafler of any
public officer, we- conceive such resolves to
be inflammatory and deftruflive of our go?- j.
ernment. .
Resolved that MofoS Blachly and Amos
Willets, be a committee on the part of this !'
meeting, to inculcate the principles contain- I
ed in the foregoing rcfelves, and to tranf- 1
mit our proceedings for publication.
Sigued by order of the meeting. ' i

Letter from the Miu 'tjler sf the Marine
On the 4th Complementary Day, Sept. '
20, the brig of the Republic, the Anacrefin j
returning from the coasts of Ireland, having '■ j
onboard Napper Tandy, a detachment of : 1
light artillery, and several Volunteer officers j '
fell in, off the Orkneys, with a brig and a
ihrec mailed vessel named the Tom of-Lan- ;
e /fter. These vessels, as soon as they per
ceived the Anacreon bore down to attack
her, and an engagement took place, but as
the Anacreon had only four pounders to op
pose to the twelve and fourteen pounders of
the enemy, Ihe would infallibly have bfrti •
taken or funk, had not th; Officers belon
ging to the expedition, and a brave detach
nnent of the 2d regiment of light artillery, 1
who were on board, incensed at receiving
the enemy's fire withaut being able to return
it, loudly called for leave to board, amidst
reiterated acclamation of Vive la Republique.
This manoeuvre was immediately execu- j
ted, notwithltanding the vollies of grape-ffiot j
discharged by the Eoglilh, who frightened
bythe audacityof the Frenah, soon abandon
ed the deck to take (helter below. Thus
these two vessels which fell upon the Ana
creon, as certain of making her a prize, were I
captured in an iaftant, and forced to strike s
their flags and surrender, though with a nut
merous artillery well served, to a handful of <
brave Republicans. '

VIENNA, November 28. \
The latest advices from Italy mention, <
that i division of the Ruffian and Turkish '
fleets appeared off Corfu and fuenmoned 1
the garrison to surrender ; But this being
refufed and oppofitios made, they had tak
en pofleffion of thi harbour and the French ,
shipping in it by force, and land d a confi.
derable body of troops, who forced the
French to retire to their fortrefs at Bailey
Mezzo, which wouldbe immediately bomb
arded. The Greek inhabitants received
the invaders with open arms. ,
Another division of the above-mentioned
fleet blockades Ancona, and the Brj'tifh '
fleet Civiu Vechia and Genoa.

Ver.a;ian posts in Albany, from the French,
