Juflum et tenacem propofiti virura, Non civium ardor prava jubentium, Nod vultus in ft ant is tyranni, Mente quatit folida. —— THE CONTRAST Between Greatßbitain and France. " On the one hand we behold the great fa brie of Religion and ancient Monarchy rapid ly diflolved and annihilated ; apostate blafphe niy and anarchy erefhng their bloody stand ard. and desolating the earth ; the rulers, ridding themselves of every restraint and notion of religion, honor, and conscience, debasing their minds with every deliberate kind of cruelty, perfidy, violence, exaftion 5 undermining the happiurfs of other nations, as "Tell as that of their own, by every con trivance of cunning ; through their policy, causing c raft to prosper in their bands, and magnifying themselves in their hearts, and lj peace destroying many, also standing up against the Prince of Princes ;* crulhing the weaker and hardly-resisting powers ; at tacking the neutral, and defying the oppo nent, nation";; extending and enlarging the career and compass of vidlory and aggran dizement ; funk in the very gall and bitter ness of guilt.—On the other hand, we view a great nation, the proteclrefs of the afflidl ed, persecuted, and exiled, mifticfs of the ocean, the crowning Island, whose merchants are princes, and whose traffickers are the honorable of the earth ; the nurling-mather of God's church, which is neither darkened with superstition, nor bewildered with en thusiasm ; a nation, holding the steady reins of sober, moderate, and well attempered go vernment, which is ripened by the accumu lated wisdom and experience of ages, and con-J firmed by the three-fold cable of thefovereign, the nobles, spiritual and temporal, and the commons ot the realm ; this nation, tWced into the dreadful coioflift by an insulting anti-chriflian foe, who spurns with lcorn at every proffered condition of peace ; this na t n, amiJfl great vices, cultivating many v ruies ; munificent in occasional, as well as permanent, charities of various descriptions ; diffufive in private benevolence, and in public contributions, through the whple mass of the people ; a nation, famous for arts arms, industry, erudition, and valor ; and retriev ing, I hope and trust, it's good old former charafler for piety, wisdom, and true reli gion. Such, I believe, may be fairly stated as the contrast." The above is not an exaggerated pi ftu re : though the coloring is high, it is executed with the pencil of truth. From which of these flocks were the firft settlers, as well as the principal part of the a&ual inhabitants of these States descended—which are we proud of resembling in religion; laws, go vernment, customs, manners—to which are •we bound by the ties of nature, of honor, and interefl—to which are we indebted for all that we possess, that is truly wife, vir tuous, and dignified—and in which can we confide, moftfafely, for the faithful perform ance of stipulated engagements, or look to for protection, in cafe of need ? To a mind that is not brutified by the fouleft malice, or contaminated by modern systems of religion and politics, these queftians must appear fu parfluous. To QUINBUS FLESTRIN. 10 ycu, Sir, as a republican, I ad dress myfelf. If you Ihould smart under the truth of my observations, or conceive your dignity lcffened by the address of a common citizen, appropriate a few muments in the mortring while the brain is neither obfeured by the fumes of ne&ar, nor agi tated by the florms of paifion, 10 reflect on the cause of this address. Consider your felf as the political Goliath who has thrown the gauntlet before your opponents—consi der me a3 the humble David, who in the face of extra-official declamation, and un «wed by official authority, have ventured to take it up. Although I cannot calculate on the afiiftance of an Almighty arm to dire£l the weapon to the front of assurance, I will endeavor to console myfelf with the idea that the arm of a mortal is competent to the purpose. The declamations of youth, and the ma levolence of party are marked as the effu fions of ignorance and of spleen, and even in a political famine are scarcely leized by the retailers of dander; but when even the ravings of 2 madman or the less intelligible jargon of an enraged jacobin stalk forth in the world covered with the mantle of autho rity, however gained, they attract, if they do not deserve the attention of the public. In the plenitude of your authority and the ovei Sowings of your mercy, you have deigned to offer to your opponents a choice of titles. Though I (fcould feel myfelf ho nored by eitlier of them when offered by you, you will fuffer me, I trufl, to retain that of a Free Citizen, that I may, accord ing to the democratic do&iine give a little advice to my servant. And here Sir, 'ere I proceed, fuffer me to regret that the doc trine of liberty and equality, however pleasing in theory, sannot in the present instance, be literally reduced to pradlice. Congratulate yourfelf that though theoretically you are my servant, you are not so in reality. What, Sir, is the meaning of yoilr answer to the republican address? Why step out of • the common track pursued on these occa- I fions ? Why not accommodate your answer : to the addreis ? Was it that you might de ceive your friends, and give your opponents an opportunity to exult in their penetration ? If, in fatt, your former afts do not prevent them from appropriating to themselves thsrt merit—Docs it mean any thing, Sir, or what docs it mean ? VVli.h coalitijn" is this, whose weapons are ftander, that in the frant'uc delirium of democratic intemperance you talk of?— What are those "abominable lies" they have fhrted-? Name one that your opponents may yet fee a remnant of hope in the gloom that surrounds them Name one that Pennsylvania may yet hold up her head among her sister States. I fear, Sir, you have placed before us a phantom that will ever elude our anxious grasp. Who are those whom j ou have delignated as tories, traitors &c What do you knqw of the principles or the fcntiments of those men you have so wantonly abuled ? In the recesses of your chamber or at your midnight clubs, where, the names of Wafhitigton' and of Adams have been mangled by the hungry satellites of faftion, and where virtue is but a name—in these places you have gained your information—in these places you have been taught to make a liberal use ot those hack neyed terms, and marked the men on whoin to bestow them. You dare not fay your in formation has been obtained by a perfoaal acquaintance with them—You dare not fay this, Sir. 1 hose men you know would start at your entrance into their honfes as at a fpe&re—wovld conlider their threlhold polluted by your Heps. On what ground then, have you thus dared to fully the cha rafters' of those men by the poisonous blast of democracy ? What is your objedt in bringing into view the officers of the federal government? Do you consider it as a re proach to them to have been found in op position to your eleftion ? If you do not mean this, why fay it is " strange that they joiued in the coalition" against you. Yes, Sir, this is your meaning. Neither the quibbles of law, nor the insolence of demo | cracy can construe your expressions different ly—You are well versed in both, and both will fail you at a different confirmation. Qn what ground then, fir, I again ask, have you thus abandoned the small remnant of Wecency y«u might have been supposed to posses* ; Do you expeft to find a shelter from tfee attacks j.f injured virtue and in tegrity in youi age—in your authority—in the influence of your royal connexions, or in the general contempt in which you are held ? These may shield ycu from public justice or private chastisement, but they not, j they (hall not from the resentment of 20,000 j free citizens. Sixty-five years (hould have j taught you prudence ; (hould have, oblite | rated trom your bosom the mean passions of nn x envy and detraction.

COMMUNICATION. MR. EDITOR, I Think myfelf very fortunate, that I live in this enlightened age of the World, when every thing, even equality itfelf, is faft improving. As a proof of this I beg leave to mention, in order that it may re ceive publicity, through the channel of your paper. That a judge will get as drunk a porter, and a porter can get ai diunk as ajuige. A Governor can scold and blackguard like a fifli-woman, and a fifh-woman can {cold and black-guard like a governor. This is carrying equality one step higher, or lower, if you please, than has ever been done in the Rue des Ppissardes at Paris, for there nobody thinks of rivalling a fifh-woman. Major General Pinckney leaves town to morrow for the cantonment at Harper's Ferry, ia the vicinity of Frederick town, Maryland.

Yesterday at noon, about 70 French pri fqners, confining chiefly of negroes, were landed from. on board the Ganges sloop of war, now lying off Market street. They were received by a detachment of marines, under command bf Lieutenant Lewis, and conduced to the jail. At the fame time the three pirates, men tioned in our lad, were land from the above ship, and also conduced to prilon; These miserable wretches were "chained together, and as they pafled through the ftrtets, exci ted the attention of a vast concourse of peo ple. The account given in last night's gaaettey of an affray which took place a L-w evenings ago in Second-street, was inserted without the knowledge of Mr. Humphreys,(as we are desired to ft ate) and was, we since learn, erro neous in this particular, that.the person firft attacked was not Mr. H. but a young gen tleman who writes in his counting, houfe— the circumftanees of the affair being still more atrocious than we had imagined.
