On Tuesday evening last arrived in town from Philadelphia, General STEPHENS THOMPSON MASON, accompanied by his molt valuable friend the VERMONT LYON, of spitting memory. Immedi ately on his arrival he received the adorati ons of all the democrats, of our country, wha were not averse to partake of his saliva, and the only thing wanting, to render the fcv-ne completely awful was the presence of Logan and Calender. The difference bet ween the African and Vermont Lions is ve ry considerable, the latter, tho' no quadru ped, appears to he far the most beastly, while hepeffeffes the fangjinaiy difj'ofitien, he i 9 entirely destitute ot all the n b'e qualities of the former. What the objeft of eur blabbing senator is in receiving into his house such despicable beings as a Calender and a Lyon appears mysterious, unless they are to receive some of the commissions that were probably received at Charleston in the tubs, from the French directory NEW-LONDON, March 2». Capt. Van Deurfon informs that Mr. Robinlon, the officer sent by captain '1 rux ton to Guadaloupe, BaiTaterre, to negotiate an exchange of prisoners, on landing was obliged to draw his sword to defend himfelt from insult. A file of soldiers, however, soon arrived for his protedlitJn. Desforneaux heing at Point Petre ; horses and a guard were furnifhed Mr. R. to conduA him there.' Mr. Robinson has returned, and the French prisoners were all sent to Guada loupe, before captain V. left St. Kitts ; ex cepting about forty Danes, Swedes, Etc. who were detained. Captain Vandeurfon brought dispatches from captain T ruxton, which were this morn ing sent on to Philadelphia by express. Ai rived, (hip Concord, Van Dcurfon, i r days from St. Thonias's ; two days before he left St. Thomas's, a French privateer brig chaced on shore a brig from S.

Came through the passage.in company with the Montezuma, whom he left in chace of a brig, which he took for the French cruiser that run the brig a (bore on St. Thomas's. Captain Van Deurfen informs, that the Infurgente was all corapleat for sea, when he left. St. Kitts, which was on the firft of March, and commodore Truxton informed him that lie iptended flie Ihould fail on a cruise in one week ; they were recruiting men for the Infurgente at St. Thomas's when he left there. BOSTON, March 16. The schooner Mary,' capt. Watkins, ar rived yesterday from Bourdeaux -paflage 95 days. Do£tor,Timothy Green cauic pa£- fenger in her. From the length of the paflage political news cannot be txpefted. We have been favored with Pari* papers to 10th Frimaire, [about the fir ft of December] and Bourdeaux Commercial Advertiferj to the jth Decem ber. They contain little on fubjefts wor thy obfervatioi). By this arrival we learn—that notwith- | {landing the French Dire&ory enforeei all its mandates with violence, and the public voice is obliged to take any pitch given it, the general opinion is oppcrfcd to an open war with the United States ; while at the fame time, a description of fiibjefts are very willing to (hare the American property which daily arrives at Bourdeaux, and which is rea dily pronounced bon prise. To the disgrace of the American name, many of our unwor thy countrymen, are partakers in this nefa- ' rious brigandage. Amongst them we have heard of i Randall, a Savage, Bcc. whose conduft would appear as black as Erebus, if even placed in contaft with the most attroci ous enormities of the licensed plunderers of the coast of Rarfaary. iawtf and A half column of the Paris " Gazette Nationale," is occupied in puhliflring the account of the ere&ion of a pitiful Liberty Pole, in the town of Wallingsford, in Ver mont ! From tie Oracle of the Day. NATIONAL ETHICS THERE are many influential men in America who poflefs much of the present Fwnch philosophy : men who are inimical to the Christian religion, and to the most important moral obligations, and. rules of society which it imposes :fome of whom are atheists, and wish to unbridle every pafiion ; to dissolve the bonds which hold community and introduce every thing unchafti, cor rupt and devilish.—Others have prophesied, expefltd and aflifted with all the weapons of sarcasm, ridicule Sc. sophistry, the speedy diftruftion of Christianity. There is an unfeeling feeling in infidels to make all oftheir opinion ;to deprive men of a solace and comfort, which ihey can fee gives cheerful nefs to their prosperity, and a balm to their af9i£tions. This unjuftifiable inclination is predominant among the advocates of French Philosophy. The introduction ofbrothrels would be to them a happy institute for the divine obligations of the carriage covenant. They would be fatisfiecf were the minillers of the gospel, stage aftors ; and the temples of God converted to playhouses of indelicate and corrupt manners, or a rendezvous for gamblers, tiplers, and the promiscuous frui tion of abandoned prostitutes ; a frolicking decade, instead of. the sabbath, and eternal Jleep, for a happy immortality. We wish not to impress the idea that all the Jacobins are men of this class ; but that the larger part of the leading charadlers are such. The chief ruler among them has long borne such a charadrr. >aw6m We would demand of fuck men what can be their obfea. Tiie language of thir hearts will refpood—am iion, fuel* as mo ved the spirit of our Grand Parent, previous to his fall from Heaven, urge* us on to deeds of heflifh consequence and dreadful fame. Let ihem a(k themselves a queftio'i, always ufe ful in revolutions of religion as well as go vernment : CUIBONO ? Whose good will be advanced ? Truth will answer, the good of none, not even of yourselves. We cannot but regret there fliauld b<*, as certainly there aft, many men of refpedabi lity for probity and usderftanding, who un wittingly support a party, the confluence of whose politics & opinions they themselves deleft. Some of them have a dislike to the constitution ; but the larger part a jealousy, virtuous when not carried to extremes, which cna'-vc* them suspicious of every public officer and every measure of government. Let this jealousy be carefully watched, left it carry :hem to lengths of which they may have afterwards cause of bitter repentance. From the Farmer's Weekly Museum. THE ENVOY'S CRITERION No. II THE means, employed to awaken our J diftinguiffied Envoy from his political leth argy, mull be highly gratifying to every friend of honour and patriotism ; and to eve ry mind that views with coßtempt, a volun tary fnbjeft of Gallic chicanery and imposi tion. Ihe trw'nd of Mr. G. as was manifelt from the credulity and avidity, with which he received profeffions of the n g'«ring inconsistency, never e*perienoed a (ingle hu miliating emotion, till his sensibility received a (hock from the ennfideration of personal resentment and per r onal indignity. It was then that his mind became firft susceptible of other ideas, than the volatile suggestions of vanity, a.led by the fawning coraplaifance and grateful infinuationi of designing fyco- • phants. It was then that he wa* brought to consider the source of his diplomatic au-, thortiy deserving of higher coofideration than his charafier. It was then, in short that a political regeneration began its work, and left our solitary Envoy no longer in a suitable habit to " dream of things impos sible." Although the renovating (hock mult have been too violent to leave hinj. at firft with the faculties of reasoning ; on the return of cool refusion, the lira pie progrefsof analogy would lead him to a consideration of the ori ginal contempt (hewn him in conjunftion with his colleagues when personal prejudices rendered him more confpicuuus, than the diplomatic seal of his country ! The motives of this extraordinary politi cian, whatever may be his pretensions, are so clearly demonstrated in his line of condu£t as to preclude the necessity of an explanation A popular nam* mud b Angularly grateful to one so captivated with Blockhead's flattery, Whose praile defames,as chough a fool {bovld mean Bjr fpining on your face to make it clean.

FINES. To the Gentlemen of Philadelphia. AMONGST fruit trees, the superiority of the vine is universally acknowledged, and the reason why there are so few, and why those few bear so little fruit, is, that the plants are not properly cultivated. That part of the culture of the vine which requires most experience and most care, is the pruning, f'»r which the season is now arrived. The fubferiber, who has to remain some days in the city, will with plea sure prune the vines (gratis) of any gentle man who will accept of his services, and who will fend his address to him at Mr Moutea's, No. 27, Sugar alley His long experience in the culture of the vine, and the extraordinary success of his vine yard at spring mill, mud he imagines, be a fufficient affarance, that this inestima ble plant can never fuffer under his hands.

The Emperor Paul I. immediately after his accession to the Throne renounced the Alliance with the Powers at war with Fraacfc by the advice of Prince Karakin, whom he appointed his Miuiftrr. Having since been succeeded in the office of Vice-Chancellor, which is the lecond Nation in the Empire, by M. de Kotftubey, nephew of tha Chancel lor Prince Bedborodlko, there was an immc. diate change in the political fyltem of the count. It was M. de Kotflubey, who du ring his Embafly at Conftantinopl* made the basis of the Treaty between Russia and the Porte. The firft change was followed by many others both in th# Afhniniftratioa and the Army.
