When we look back to the origin, and
view the prbgrefs of the opposition to the
meaftvres of our government to preserve our
national independence against the attempts
of the French'to reduce us to the state of all
the republics of Europe, we may with ftridt
propriety and justice call this oppolition a
" French fafiion"—To be sure they now
have not a Genet as a leader whom they once
arrayed in opposition to a Washington.
Certainly this fa&ion now dare not ling the
tO-h c, uor dance the cdrmagnole—but it is
obvious that those men who once brought
shame anddifg'race upon ourcountryby these
foreign excefles, are the fame men who now
incelTantly cry aloud against every measure
adopted to preserve the independence of the
country, to proftt our commerce and pre
vent the influence of French intrigue and
the effedls of French principles. Those men
who £>nc« boasted in calling themselves jaco
bins, are the fame men, who now oppose (as
far as they find prudent) the restriction of the
intercourse with France, declaim against the
armament of merchantmen, and make " po
pular harrangues, and public political dif
' cuflio'ns"even to juries in trying matters of
fa£, against the alien and sedition laws—
and oppose every law calculated to defend
and proteit us against the ruinous designs of
the French republic. This fattion, and it
ought not to be forgotten, once called them
selves jacobins, and this name beCause unpo
pular even in France, it therefore became
prudent, and the faftion thought proper to
change it here. They then called themselves
democrats, and this also became an oppro
bious epithet. This fame French faftion
have now presumed to call themselves repub
licans, altogether forgetting that it is the
firft principle of true republicanism to sub
mit to the will of the majority.
It is a faft that the Trench fa&ion in
Northampton have affomed, and do now
wear the Frbuh tockfide.
lt ii pre Tamed that the patriotic members
of the legiftature who have gore to North.
ampton well know what has be*h tl-.e origin
of the infvn reftion, and who are, in this bu
siness, behind, tfye curtain. It is generally
supposed that thry will have great influence
over their constituents.
No orders has yet been publiflied relative
to the marching a military force against the
insurgents in Northampton county, in this
flats ; but we are informed that different vo
lunteer corps are direfled to hold themselves
in readiness ; and notices are issued for assem

COMMUNICATION.
ON INLAND NAVIGATION.
LETTER IX.
March l<)tb, 1799.
To the Cirrzens of PzNKsrLVjyut.
MY firfl letter, of the sth instant, con
veyed tlw Petitions of the Delaware and
Schuylkill Canal Company, to the honorable
Senate of this Commonwealth; and was in
tended as incrodu&ory to an account of the
Pleadings of the learned Council, refpefting
the Charter Rights of the Company, on a
fubjeft of the firft magnitude ; deeply in
teresting, not only to our Commercial Me-
Xropolis, but to the Citizens of Pennsylvania
at large ; in every poflible view, leading to.
■wards the improvement of the natural ad
vantages of our Country, whether in refpeft
to Commerce, or to Agriculture, Manufac
tures, Political Economy and the good Go
vernment and Happiness of the Common
wealth. v
In the years 1790, 1791, the Legislature
of Pennsylvania (embracing the final ar
rangement and flourifhing condition of their
finances) turned their serious attention to
public improvements; and particularly to
the promotion of the internal trade, manu
factures and population of their country, by
facilitating every poflible communication
between the different parts of the state, by
means of good roads and the improvement
of our numerous rivers and navigable waters.
To aid in this great work, a Society, which
had fubtifted feme time, by the name of
" the Society for the Improvement of Roads
and Inland Navigation", and had collefted
much ufeful information in refpeft to the
Geography and Hydrography of the country,
presented an inte re fling Memorial to the
Legislature, setting forth—" That Pennsyl
vania, from her iituation and extent of ter
ritory, is a refpeftable commonwealth in the
union. Her foil is fertile, her produfts va
. ievs, and her rivers, by the bountiful Au
thoi of Nature, have been made to flow in
every direction, as on purpose to bear from
all parts the produce and wealth of the land,
in an tnfy, rheap andexpeditious manner, to
her principal n:jrt and port in the city of
Philadelphia. That to combine the inteiefts
yf all parts of the state, and to cement them
In a perpetual commercial and political union, ]
by the improvement of those natural advan-
was ooe as the greatest works which
could be -fubmuted ro {rgiflative wilctom and
and public fpint. '1 hat the mcnlfent, theii
prefent,was particularly auspicious to the un
dertaking ; and, rt negledted, the loss might
be hard to retrieve."
" That when once trade baS forced its
way, even through a less advantageous chan
•nelj it is difficult to alter its course ; and a
small expence, judiciously and leafonably ap
plied, may retain a stream in its channel,
which with immense funis cannot fee restored,
if once diverted from it. Large emigrations
from Europe ait, now directing their course
to this country, aud will be encouraged by
: every improvement we make by means of
j good land and water carriage, between our
| metropolis 6u the Atlantic waters, and the
more remote parts of the date."
The memorial then proceeds to delineate,
or describe the two great branches of our In
land Navigation, with all their ramifications,
the nature and situation of the waters, and
the distances of the various places of em
barkation for the metropolis ; viz.—-
ift. The Delaware Navigation,
from the tide-water at Trenton Falls, to
Lake Otsego, the north-east branch of Suf
quehanna. Also, from the great Bend on
the said branch, by way of|'7*/(ya, Connedes
sago Lake, the Seneca and Onandago Rivers,
Oswego, on Lake Ontario j with an esti
mate of the expence.
2. Ihe SUSQUEHANNAH NAVIGATION,
as conpetted with the waters of Scuylkill on
the east, and the Ohio and great likei, west*
erly, comprehending the Sr huylkill and Suf
quehannah Canal and River Navigation to
Juntata, and from the head of the fame by
Conemaugh and Kiskemenetas waters to AJ
leghenny river, thence down ,to Pittfourg,on
the Ohio, or up to French Creek, and by the
fame to Lc Bm.if and Presqu'lsle 011 'Lake
Erie, with all the ramifications and portag
es of this navigation, beyond the limits of
Pennsylvania, to the utmofl limits of the
United States.' In short, this memorial,
with the documents and remarks which ac
companied it, will bear to be read and kept
in view, as a magazine of information, as
long as the impro> wnent of water and roads
for internal commerce, ihall continue to be
the objeft of public attention and care.
It was received and immediately a&cd
upon by a Legislature animated by the warm
est zeal for the improvement of their country,
although they could not ftibjeft the finances
of the state to the burthen of the whole exe
cution ; nevertheless they came forward
with a high sense of duty, and made liberal
appropriations of public money, for the im
provement ©f such roods and navigable wa
ters as lying too remote from the more popu
lous parts of the state, and the inhabitants
but thinly fettled, required more immediate
aid, as preparatory and connedling links in
the great system of land and water communi
cations; and for the accomplishment of the
reft, following the example of the wisest
states in the old world, they pafled afts of in
corporation, to encourage and ftimulatepri
vate enterprize, in aid of public good.

lature for roads and waters

From April 10th 1792, to

The Companies incorporated
for Canal Navigation, were
as follows, viz.
1791, Sept. 29. —The Prefi-i
dent, Managers and Com
pany of the Schuylkill and
Sufijuehanitth Navigation,
; by means of the waters of
Tulpeboccon, Quitapabilla,
and SwHtard.
1792, April ie.—The Pre*
fidentjManagers and Com
pany of -the Delaware and
Sibtplkill Canal Naviga
ti6n, by means of the wa
ters of Schuylkill from the
north bounds of the city of
Philadelphia, to the mouth
6f Stoney-Creek, at Nor.
riton,and the Streams lying
between the north bounds
of the city aforefaid and
the distance of eight miles
therefrom.
*793) Apr.lioth.—TheCon«
ewago Company, for open
ing and improving that
part of the river Sufque
hanna, from Wright's
Ferry to the mouth of
Swatara, with a Lock Na
vigation and Canal, from
the head to the foot of
Conewaga-Falls.
Total expenditures on Inland
Navigation,
From ne>,759 66 dollars,
granted by the State for
loads and waters, deduct
about 5.4,750 dollars the
part appropriated for roads
and there remains
1 ft. Granted by the state for
waters,*
2d. Expended by the Schuyl
kill and Sufquehannah Ca
nal company,
3d. By the Delaware, and
Schuylkill Canal company,
4th. 3y the Canewago Canal
company, exclusive of the
Stats grant of 14,000 dol
lars (part of the above
56,009 33 dollars)
Total 609,256
* Besides the 56,009 dollars granted in
1791, 1792, for the improvement of la'and
Navigation, very considerable sums bad been
granted by tie State before that period, and
further grants are almost every stssien since
that time collected and obtained.
The prefeiit state of these three Canals, and
the waters c'onneftecl with them is as sol-
lows—-
The Cone waga Canal and its Locks are in
operation, for the puflage of boats with great
ease and fafcty ■; but to introduce boats de-
Icending from Sliddltton, at certain heights
ol tiie river, certain improvements, about
60 yards " ove the regulating Lock, which
will coll abou 1 . 2,7'° dollars, are contempla
ted by the company, although beyond the
limits of their contract.
The Schuylkill and Sufquehannah Canal,
niightfoon be in operation, the main l'ett'of
locks ar. the summit level being long since
compleated, and the remaining ft nek of the
company, if it could be fully collefted would
be l'ufiicient, by recurring to the original
plan, v?z. the beds of the Tulpehockon,
Quitipahilla and Swatara, with a little aid
from the state for the better clearing thole
rivers, and pafling the ftveral mills, by locks
or sluices—At least two thirds of the-works
of this Ca»aJ compleated, and aliiMjft the
whole digging of "the middle which
connects the Schuylkill and . Sufquehannah
wa'te is.
With rtfpeft to the Delaware Snd Schuyl
kill Canal, the company have stated in their
Memorial to the Legillature, that it is at
least half compieated in point of expence ;
and that the remainder lying through much
easier ground, maybe compieated in the (hort
period of two yems, if the company art du-
K" aided and encouraged in the Work.
In lliort, a far lei's sum than has been al
isady expended on the part of the State and
the Canal Companies, would (if judicioully
applied) be amply fufficient for the final a£-
complilhment of the whole fyllein of Inland
Navigation, as atprefent contemplated, for
connecting the Wtftern Waters of the Suf
qnehanmah, the Ohio and gftfat Lakes, with
the Port o£ Philadelphia j thereby opening
an almost unbounded profpeft of future
wealth an 4 importance t® the citizens of this
comnron wealth. 1
I fiiall proceed in my next letter to slate
fame of the difficulties and (Dfcouragements
which have occurred in the prosecution of
this great plan of Inland Navigation, and
(hall net omit to tike notice of fame late
proceedings and vifionarv Steam Projects,
which were the ftibjeft of discussion before
the honorable Senate, as having a tendency
tofruftrate, or at leait to procrastinate for a
long time, the perfedting the Delaware and
Schuylkill Canal, as-4 capital link in the great
system of Inland Navigation, as well as the
true and permanent source of a supply of pure
Water for the Drinkers, as well as many
substantial articles for the Eaters in the
City*
By two vessels arrived at New-York flom
New-Orleans, accounts are brought of an
engagement having taken place on the 19th
of Feb. between the Delaware sloop of war
Capt. Decatur, and a French privateer of
18 or 30 guns.—Letters from on board the
Delaware, dated the a6tb, of Feb. have
been received in this city, w'hich make no
mention of fueh a circumftancc ; —we are
therefore warranted in fufpefting the truth
of the account.

The next day was boarded by the Hani
bal, of 74 guns, which had iri tow two Spa
ni(h prizes, captured the day bef re—one
of them was a brig from the Mediterranean,
and cotifidered a very valuable prize—the
other a fchoonpr.

The sloop Harriot, capt. Sellers, from

7 fail —on« a <96 gnn (hip, one of 74, four
frigates, and a sloop of war. Capt. Sellers
was informed by the officers of one of these
(hips, that Capt. Decatur, of the sloop of"
war on the 19th ult. in the
Gulph passage had an engagement with a
French brig of 18 or 20 guns, which lasted
for four hours, and that they separated, (to
use the Captains phrase) ♦' so good and so
good."
An engagement between the Delaware
and a French privateer of some kind is not
altogether improbable, from the circumstance
of capt. Decatur's being in the Gulf ou
the 12th of February-*—vide his lette* of
this date. Beftdes, it was told to captain
Sellus in terms of pofitivity, though not
particularly. We are inclined, however,
from capt. Decatur's known bravery, not
to believe that the engagement terminated
as here stated, unlefsthe Freischman had the
advantage in metal, men, and position.
The above squadron is that which late 1
ly blocked the Havanna.
Capt. Seller fuffered much on the Coast
from the late severity of the weather—three
of his hands were froft bitten, and unable to
