MONDAY' EVENING, APRIL »9• Frem the New Tori* Gazette and General Advtrtijir. The Anti-Revolutionist, No. it. 7« the Federalist of New York. Brethren and Friends, In the New York Gazette of Tuesday last, I presumed to a'ddrefs you some obser vations, intended to invite your thoughts and exertions to the etifuing elections—< — I aflertcd that a French Revolution is begin ning in this country; and I illustrated the petition, not by new fafts or arguments, for none are necefTary The ptoofi are every where——they stare you in the face erery moment—"-The State governments —-the presses—and all the sources of pub- lie informatioa, are lapidly passing into the hands of Frenchmen-a and yet it it said, you «»il! allow this city to be reprt-frnted by the mod virulent and incurable of Jacobins. It was my intention, however, to have proceeded more minutely into proofs of the progrefe of the Revolutionary fyitem in this state—but, as the ele&ion come 6 on before either the afts of the Legislature #r the journals of the houf: can be procured, I am not able to recur wi h mnth accuracy to the proceeding) of last winter. The late bouse enjoyed, till near iti de cease, the reputation of being Federal— but, sense may be requisite, as well as hones ty and Federalism and, in the hands of such a man as Mr. Burr, dupes are more dangerous instruments than knaves^—Met* of only a little discernment, saw that Mr. Burr, so often# candidate for the firft majef tracy of this state, and for the firft or sec ond in the union, did not quit ihofc higfi pretensions for the mere usual employments of state legislation—that is, to alter the elec tion law—grant some lotteries—a->d regu late the packing of Beef, &c.: —Those who knew the wonderful versatility of his talentb and hit immeafureable ambition, understood that the politics ef the state were to be changed from the foundation—but, to effeft this, his agency must be concealed from the public view He made no parade of in fluence —The matter magicidH remained bekiod the curtain, and fecmed to be igno rant of the Springs that moved the puppets —lf he ever came forward in his strength, he appeared like the Lyon amcng thebeaft* ruling calmly, by a nod or a jefl bre —or (imply intimating his wiflies by his jackall Provost. But the cffe&s of hit presence are soon apparent—The Virginia and Kentucky Re foluiions were brought forward—each of pthem a wicked and uifolent declaration of war upon the United States It was dif eovered, however, at Albany, that the Vir ginians had much reason on their fide—and wrote a good stile—-and that the Kentuckians, in the honest love of Liberty, had gone a little too far Another tranfaftion was dill moie difgraceful When the MafFachufetts Refutations were called up, it was thought that no American would oppose a measure calculated to eman cipate this coun'ry from the dominion and iololeiice of foreigners—ftill less was it I thought that this meafore, being a general one, could be obj»&ed to by the very per sons who have clamoured so loudly againtl British influence Mr. Burr rose, and in a (hort speech proved, that " tVat fewer treasons have been committed against this country by foreigners, than by natives " Mr. King, from the western diftrid, made a single and meritorious efTort to oppose the current : but the house' were convinced • it was decided that we ought to import Legislators from France and Ireland 1 consider these resolutions as being a trial of strength between our own country and for eign influence—and, as far as the event goes, it proves us to be the weakest.——We are exposed without defence, to the intrigues and the corruptions of every nation that may think (he can profit by our diftraftions. With infurreftions among the foreign ers who are fettled in the interior country ; —with United Irifhmes among thofeof the towns With Democratic Societies and opposition papers, under the direction of Frenchmen With Gallatin, Genet, Findley, Dallas, and Lyon to rule us, and j with the hopeful set of young politicians whom the Direftory are educating among us for our future LegislatorS, we mud riot be surprised if we one day experience the convulsions and horrors so often repeated in France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Egypt. In every country where Jacobins have existed, a principal means of their success has been to excite jealousies and discontents, and fptead misrepresentations in the petty diftrifts where they have influence. By j these means, and by promising to relieve the people from pretended oppressions, many a man is eledted in this country from a small district, who would never acqu ire refpee tability enough to be elefted by a large num ber of his fellow citizens. On this differ ence turns the whole theory and pra&ice of diftrifting states for eleftiom. I: is always a Jacobin operation, and on that account, a proposal was made last winter to divide the Rate with as many dißrifts as there are Sen ators to be chosen. The firmnefs and wif d m of our Semte have, on many occasions prevented the adoption of the most impro per measures : they mult: be radically Jaco binized and this will be fl»ne the firft op portunity that occurs, by causing each Sen ator ro be elefted from his own local diftrift. The next step was to reduce the falari«l of the Judges of the Supreme Court. Per- baps no state in the Uuian ever p<,{fcfTV ! a more able and refpe£table bench than " It happens, however, {hat the two A• ti- Tirrrzzz Federal Judges are men-os fortune, and the three others beii'g less so, it has been tho't pra&icable to starve them from their feats : This attack will be carried farther. No thing would tend more to unhinge focietv and diff.'lve the bands of confidence and or der, than to render the judiciary contemp tible or Corrupt. Nothing could better fwer the purposes of a partv than to fill it with such men as Peter W. Yates, and other favorites of the late Governor. The session ended with an aft about the Bronx, which I fliall take occasion to copifider more fully hereafter In the mean time, I request your attention to the nth page of the a£t as pubh'.died by Mr. Ftirman Remember that your city i» annually wafted by sickness, and frequently desolated by fires, which are remote fron the water Ten years are granted i>. the firft instance for bringing in the Bronx— and in the next fe&ion is seen what the pub- lic already believes to be the a&ual objed of the Company—banking, and the East- India Trade. Ten feversareto desolate your city—ten times ten fires te destroy your houf.s The Bronx is pre-occupied by this Company ; and, under the pretence of removing a calamity which requires the in ft ant and ftrennous exertions of all friends to the city—under this pretence, some Capi tal.fts are sporting with Scrip, and a bank rupt politican repairing hi* fortune by " mo- nied traafafkions and operations." Fellow Citizens ! You will pardon my warmth if, in the firlt .fervor and bitterness of iadignation, 1 utter myfrlf in execration against the authors of this flagitious plot. The lives of thousands depead cpon th* police and supplies of this city Your trade and revenue in a great measure depend on it But the projeft is adjourned ten years ; and in the mean time, Mr, Burrand a junto of Dire&ors, of whom are antitederalilts, are purfuin.r as entirely (Wferent objeift, by a kind of POLITICO-COMMfcRCI AL-FiNAN CI AL-IRONX-OPER-ATION. Fellow Citizens 1 , This is a dangerous man in any situation, but particularly so if elc&ed with the herd of the fame ticket. I rely, however, with confidence that the vast wealth, the great number*, the refpeftability, and the impor tant commercial interefls of this city, will not again be misrepresented by any person frojn the slough of the Democratic Society Look at the refpe&able and confiden-^ tial names composing the Federal Ticket ; men of p«rfonal worth, reputable in their several profeffions ; long known to you as good citizens, and undoubted friends to their country, and its independence. In such mea youmay fullyconfide. The facrificrs which many of them have made, deserve your thanks and support. 1 repeat it then Let the merchant, themechanic, the lawyer and the labourer—Let the rich and the peor, and all clafles utiite, come forward and exert themfclves— they have a common interest in theprofperity of the country—— . Let them commit their public concerns to men of sense" and honesty, and we fliall soon fee this city restored to its farmer ref pe&ability, and under a just and pure police and leg flation, rapidly mcreafing in influ ence, commerce and opulence. A letter was received from capt. Mai.kay, of the ship Galen of thts place, dated Lon don Feb. 22. He informs, that in 24. days after he left Boflon. lie was fafe moored in the Thames ; that he experienced blowing weather an his passage, and had an opportu nity of proving the goodness of the ship ; that he was pursued for 16 hours by a veflcl (which finally proved to be a Briviili frigate) when his men were all called to their quar ter!, and displayed t,he moll commendable l'pirit, and that a convoy was appointed to fail on the Bth of March, which he ihould embrace to return for America. Nicholas Tomlinfon, late commander of La Suffifante fioop, is struck oif" the lift of captains for inattention while on board the Lord Hawke privateer, when she engaged a Spanish packet, in not anfwerino the iignal of La Nymph frigate when she appeared in fight. When captain Peyton was introduced on Wednesday at the Levee, the King said, " Captain Peyton, I am glad to fee you on such an occasion and .laying his right hand on the officer's flioulder, resumed, " I return you thanks for your services."
