A writer who signs himfelf Justice, in a pTtce iddrefTi'd to the Poft-mafbr General, through the medium of a New-York paper, mentions tly: cafe of a Mail contrawho having engaged to transport the Mail through a certain diftriflin New-York, for 660 dol lars, fold his contrast for 400 ; this purchas er disposed of it to a third person for 250. The exaggerated alarm which hasprevailed here for some days, at the occurrence of two three cases of Fever, has reached New- York, with strong aggravations, as our read ers will perceive under the New-York head in this day's paper. We believe it is pretty generally admitted that one or two cases have occurred, in which the contagion was com municated by a neutral veflel from the Weft Indies, prize to tbe Ganges. This vessel has been ordered away, and the flreet in which the cases alluded to occurred, has been evac uated. Joe\ the Infamous, in his letter to the Rev. Abraham Baldwin, M. C. tells as, that " th£ French have many reasons for being offended with the American gov eminent' ; these, however, he.observes, are exaggerated by their jealousy and. other strong passions ; in the next line, he calls these " reasons" imaginary wrongs, and thinks this no t time to explain them away, alchough he declares that on them " a great part oi' their '■csentment is founded." This being no time to explain away these imaginary wrongs, he exhorts to a " consi derable facriiice", to appeafethe resentment of the raid imaginary wrongj—f U ch as, a loan of money, an alteration of the Britilh treaty,- &.c. &c.

On Wednesday morning, a person named Samuel Denny, fell into 'the Delaware, from on board the Burlington packet-boat and, notwithftandmg every exertion was made to save him, was unfortunately drowned.

By' reflecting upon the situation of the leaders of tlie great nation, we can be at no loss even without the exam ples which are daily let before our eyes, for the means they will naturally employ for l'afcty and fu:cefs. Having fueceeded in overthrowing theantient inlUtutions of their country, and exalted themfclves upon the ruins, they are prompted by a principle of felf preservation to subvert those of others, with the view of embarking in a common cause, the fools and defpcradces of eveiy na tion. With these, they intrigue {ill aceefs is obtained, and the fraternal embrace fairly accepted : when, throwiug off the mask they declare the government a ui'utpation, its ad niinillration a delp.nifni, introduce a new order of things, ana invest their creatures with the power of difpenling it. Thele are the outlines of jacobin policy. A policy which lias been fyftematicaUy pursued, and is ftiil pursuing, with such deviations only as a change of circumstances may render ne ccflary.

J t>OXDEif<rs, > Hitherto, finding us coy to the proffered embrace, and disappointed in their plan of hogging us into perdition, they have affum rd the haughty bullying tone, which, inflead of terrifying us into their views, they now pwceive is. likdy tojiaufe » national spirit, and fcnile the country againlt them. Their party here, moll dreadfully alarmed, had receurft to the Eeganian eijibaffy, which was doubtless to inform thtjir " very worthy »nd approved good matters" that they were driving too faft ; that they were effectually flifling the exertions qt thtir friends in A inerica, audthat much more was to be effec ted by the fyftcm of feduftion, than terror. Accordingly, they are now mod sincerely disposed for peace with us, and de termined to treat us handsomely, and with the refpeft due to a loyal satellite of the great republic. The good citizens Gallatin and Nicholas, from their speeches in the lalt feffiou of congress, seem convinced that they are now, more pacifically disposed than ever; and though not always able to fubferibe to the sentiments of theft illustrious patriots, I fully agree with them here. Their unmer ciful drubbing at the mouth of the Nile, the formidable coalition forming against them, and the rapid declension of character which their latr- difalVis, ev-n than their de parture from republican pilnty, have brought about, induce the neceflity of some creditable alliance to aid the linking caute of confu fion. -It is well known, that the infamous Char.tres when " his way of life had fallen into the fear, the yellow leaf," profligately laid, that he would give ten thouland pounds for a good character ; agd there is little douot, that 1 alleyrand aub his confederates feel the want of one as much as CharUts. Besides, the friend I hip of America would be peculiarly ufeful to them. Reviving and holding up the idea of a fameftefs of prin ciple and unity of delign, Would encourage the malcent«uts and revolutionary spirits of Europe. It tl* revolution here, had any effea in bringing about that of France, and excitin* the rage for reform e|fcwhere, as is generally believed, out seeming approbation of their cause now, might reinvigorate its principles in other countries, and particu larly in England, where they seem to be languilhing in t! e hands of the Erfkines, the Foxes and the Thelwals, whose philanthro pic labors are deprived of mut h of their ef ficacy in wanting American co-operation. Fox in his harangues, leldom forgot a xom pliment to President YVafliing, so long as there was ground for inferring his approba tion «f French meafuret. The credit then, of the amity of Ameri ca, appears to be what the direttory Dow principally want; and if they can contrive by it, to bring about a rupture between us and England, and revive the 4eclimng con tcft between republicanii'ra and monarchy, and the flagging zeal for liberty and equali ty, Merlin and his compatriots may jet be saved, and jacobinism be universally tii umphknt on the ruins of religion, morality and virtue. I am far from fuppefing however, that the proposed negotiation will terminate in the fraternity of the two republics. It is cer tainly better that it (liould not. And if we guard again ft being lulled into a fatal fupine ntfs, no evil may result from seeming to be lieve in the miraculous convcrfion of the dire&ory, and that the (harpers who played the game of X, Y and Z, have all at once become honest. I O >NSIDER it as a certain presage that longevity will wot be among the attri butes of the great republic, that its rulers have for (ome time pad, had more recourse to an enthusiasm for military glory, tJvui to the forfeiting cant ot philanthropby, "that enginery, more mischievous than fleets and armies, and the cannon's murder," with which the revolution was commenced, and W which its principles are still propagated in other countries. An ardor tor military glory, cannot con fiftfor any length of time, with the present Hate of things in France.

But I istbei- th"ik that this poli cy has been forced upon tlie.n by the tiniper of the nation ; and that they know as well as any of their predeteflbrs the importance of preventing a return of former maftfiers, of linking politeness in Philanuoyhy, and making Citcjen keep the afcendeucy of Mon sieur. It would be much lifer for them, to goon Cutting throats for the Love of man kind, than through the uhpliilosobhit, anti-?j puitican fentimeiit of national Glory. Hay it down as a maxim, that a Love of military fame more naturally alfimilatcs. with monar chy than Reptiblicanifm ; and especially in France, from the influence of former habits.

To the Board of Health. gjcntlemln, THERE is no criterion by vkich the exiftcr.cc and progrei's of a peftf l?ntia\oj mortal disease maybe so Wyty as hy a correct liii of dead taken by proper authority. Common tame which is a common liar, and to be lr> in nil places, is How magnifying the htkly fate of our city in all directions. In some places they tell you we bury 26 of a day, in others more, of a yellow fever ; when perhaps-we do not burv one. I do not mean to fay thire has been r.o cale this year of this disease, nor even more than one ; but this I believe, they are very rare if any —and if the general atmosphere of our city is pure, as we have reason to believe it is, may not these solitary cases end without spreading. Certainly they may —and why iliould wc not hope as wll as fear, U-eing tbat the yellow fever ravaged Fells Point in the year 1794, and did not spread its baleful influence to Baltimore, which is contiguous to it—Tfarfitsie may be justly observed of Philadelphia in 1762, when it was confined to the South part of the city ; in Germantewn, Franckfort, and out at the encampments, in 1798—it did not spread ; and what is very remarkable, at the latter place there were about 3000 per sons colledled, and the common average of deaths did not take plate among tbem, al though they daily went there from the in- parts of the city. And what Was the principal reason—molt prebably the Corrupt ed air in the city, which in the coontfywas pure. At this time we have reason to con gratulate ourselves, that we may with care and attention escape the prevalence of this disorder as well as we did in 1794, when it is well known, there were several cases of the yellow fever among us. At any rate, a coirefl return from the icxtons of the different burial grounds will enable us to form a just opinion of its real i progress, though it may net decide its ac tual exigence.
