On the above ajifwer, the French Editor of La Clef du Cabinet makes _t!-ie following observations. " It appears that l'uch, indeed, would have been" the fate of Acre andGhezzar Pa cha, had not the Englifl) Commodore Sir Sidney Smith thrown bitnl'elf very oppor tunely into the place", to direst the defence of it, and above all, had not his squadron taken Buonaparte's artillery and ammuni tion, which were employed in defending the ] luce they had been defined to reduce.— This event gave reason to believe that Buo naoarte was obliged to rniijt the (lege °f Acre, and to fall back on Gaza."

Fort Urbauo, near ftill holds out, but is expeftcd to furi-ender fooh. • Near Samog-g'ia, between Madefca and Bologna, the Anfli iaiis yesterday furroutided a French corpjof Bdo men ; 400 were made 'prifoncr-s, the rte p:)J"e thciFcalunmies, and 'where the public good reijuires it, report their names to the otiier committees, that those traducers of our laws and the chara&ers of our mod valuable citizens, may be held up to public view as men devoid of truth, and unworthy of the confidence of their neigh bours and fellow citizens. ' It is of importance that particular notice should he taken of the arts that are prac tised to injure Mr. Rofs's character—anony mous pampKfcts and papers are in circula tion, containing charges against him which are totally unfounded, and which there is no doubt Were believrd to be lo by thr author* thensfelves, and were intended to mislead the unwary and uni'ufpe&ing citizen, for the purpose of carrying a favourite mea fuie. For if this was not the c*fe, why did n.ot\he authors give their names—and why do they circulate their pamphlets in a manner which evinces, that they are unwil ling an mveftigation (hould be had,, and that' their names should be publicly known— When the infamous afpei lions contained in these pamphlets—the object of the lying arts, the low and icandaious devices of certain pcrrans who have no character to lool'e, but that which they have gained by condutt that every American citizen to despise, and which would (if pcfliblc) even a ] French Jacobin ; are considered, the necel lity of beins vigilant will be obvious. Mr. Rofs'i parentage, his poflellioris,his religious and moral chara ter are called in quellion—To men acquainted with hjra, and informed of the arts of those io oppo sition to bis ele&ioii, the slightest notice of such reports would appear unneceflary, but those who are unacquainted with hitp may think otherwife—lt will therefore be advife able to make a fair representation of his chara&er, by dating, fads as they really are. Aid with truth it may be said, that he has descended from a Farmer of refpeflable chara&er, who is a native of, and now resident in the county of York in this Hate—that Mr. ltofs by his extraordinary abilities, integrity and industry, has become confpictious amongst the most diftioguifhed members of tl. e Senate of the United' States —ranks with the most valuable and highly efteemid citizens of his county, and poflTefles that portion of property, which although it is fufficient to secure his independence and attachment to his country ; yet its amount is not such as to raise him above his fellow citizens, or render him dangerous to the ptib lic—That in religion he is found, and has beea its conltant adv/cate—and that even his oppofers in politics who reside in his own neighbourhood, and ara acquainted with him ; acknowledge his morals to be unimpeachable. It is particularly recommended to the members of the fevcral committees, to us their bed isduftry to convince their neigh bours of the necefiky of exerting them selves to promote Mr. Rofc's eledion ; as upon it our country's future profpeiity and happiness very mueh depends. Every man in the several to*nfhips (hould be vilittd, excepting only such as are notc rioufly gov erned by French principles, and are under French influence ; these are b.lieved to be Incorrigible, and from them no g >od is to be expeded ; but the other citizens ought to becooly reasoned with—arguments ar.d fads ftatcd t» them with candor, that their judgments mav b'e convinced ot the neeefiity of turning out to the deftion, and uimg their utmost exertions in support of the candidate herein recommended. It will be advifeable for the committees to take to their afliftance such of their fel low citizens as are willing to be aiding on this important oceafi'>n Ti.efe meafurei are recommended from an a flu ranee that unless the evil pi aftices spoken of are checked, we must fall a prey to those calamities which are the sure confluences of vices, so fiibverfive of tf at public conn deuce which is all eflewtia! to the support of /v. cr ; a Republican Government. * If we turn our eyes to the revolution in France we /hall find, that deception, fraud and violence, have formed the ladder, by which the different fa&ions have raised themselves into power, and that under their influence the people have been ftimulatea to afts of violence and cruelty to each other, which would be a difgraee to a nation pre tending even to the smallest degree of civili zation. Now if the people of this country who are eppofed to our government, and who seem to be imitating the conduft of France should become fufficiently Itrong, and (hould persevere in 'heir vilifying practi ces, have we not reason to fearthat evil dis cord, which was fomented by the enemies of sur government, and which lately rose into rebellion against the United States, will again appear with redouble fury—f- eigh bour will be in danger of personal violence from neighbour and citixen from citizen— the dreadful horrors of civil war, will be our unhappy lot. And we, when it is too late, (hall have to refleft upon ourselves, for negleding that duty, which as men, as n' ighboors, as American citizen, was afligued us to perform. With the example ot France and the late infurreflion before our eyes, can we heftitate t let our faces againlt the authors of civil discord, or will we refufe to rally round our Govcrnnun as the place of our refuge, and as the only means under providence of our political sal vation It has hitherto pre eivid us from the fai'gs of France, and if we give it our fuppo t. we may with confiaence reft fatisfi ed, tiiat under its banners we (hall be fafc.
