And if tp have labored to support the general government—tohave ap- proved of the ratification of the treaty with Britain—lf to have invariably advocated the Vyftem of pplicy adopted and pursued by the patriotic Wafliington and his fuccelfor, are to fubjeft a man to proscription and ruin ; •what are we to think of the monflrous in congruity of poveruor M'Kean's eulogium on thi* depai-ted hero. Perhaps it was a iacrifice the republican interest requited— though had the offerer of it been apprised how fervently this great, lamented man, bad deprecated the of hfs eleftion, it is much to be doubted, whether even the be- nefit of his " expanded name" and the pop- ularity aif appearing to art under itsaufptces, "could have impelled the verj " little bark'' of hi; excellency into a "pursuit ef the tii- ? turpi) and a participation of the gale." 8 Having now, I trust, completely rent the 3 veil with which the chief magistrate has en ■j* tkavored to conceal the horrid deformity of his conduit, towards, his rniferable depend- ants, the subordinate officers of the state, I l lake my leave with the obfevvation—That j if truth be n#t a libel, if the language ot re- proach be not the exclusive privilege of a go vernor, and the term servant of the people be any more than jacobinical cant, I must bejuflified in aflerting, that the Chief Ser vant of Peonfylvania has proftitutea his offi cial power to the purpose of gratifying a heart, which in meanness and malignity would not have disgraced the bosom of a Ne- ro or Dppiitian ; and that fully plotted liis vengeance in the ruin of a num ber of worthy men and their families, he is "at length willing, after the example of the revolutionary patriots of France, when 1 lirled to the top of the wheel, " to subdue ; itical distrust, and party feud, for the hr.nor of the slate, the interest of his coiifti <*<Mits, and bis own happiness." ALEXANDER GRAYDON. Hamsburgb, Feb. 4, 1800. The following facts, are fele&ed from . kofe'j "Br ef examination, irfto the in ■ crease of the revenue, commerce, and manu factures of Great Britain, from 1792, to 1799." 1. That Great Britain, is now raising, within the year, by a war tax, a large pro portion of the whole supplies. 2. That to carry on the prestnt war, reckoning from the year 1793, to 1798 in clufivt, the government of Great Britain, has created a capital by loans, amounting to 169,927,789 pounds; to pny the interest, jqnanagement, &c. of which, she railed a tax, equal to 7,931,215, independent of her taxes, to pay the interett, See. of the credit, created before the year 1793. 3. That amidfl all the difficulties of the war, and urgency of providing money, to carry it on, file has not trenched in the small est degree on the fund allotted, for the ex tinction of the old, and new national debt, and has with inflexible perfevemncr, pursued the mrafure, of providing, in every new loan, a surplus, for the redemption of it. ■ ,'4th. That the sinking fund of 1786, and the finking, fond ef <792, amount to 4,294,- 042 ppunds. sth. That the (inking fund of 1786, has tdeemed of the capital, of the old debt, *8,677,689 ; and the finking fund of 1792, off the capital created in the prefcnt war 5,904,082 ; so that there has been a total capital adlually redeemed, amounting to 37»J B '>77i pounds. 6th. That, by the sole operation of these finking funds, without any further interven- tion of Parliament, supposing the 3 per cents, to be on an average at 75 pounds, the capital of the old debt, which was about 240,000,000, will be completely redeemed, in the year 1842 ; and if the fame price is as sumed, in computing the period of redemp tion of the nsw deot, created since the war, the 3 per cents, will be redeemed, in less than thirty five years, from the time of ma king each loan : but at the present pi ice, viz. 53 t-2, the 3 per cents, created by new loans, would be redeemed, in twenty three years, and a quarter, from the time each was • made. 7th. That the old taxes, existing previous to the war, have produred annually, on an average of seven years, from 1799, 1,080,000 pounds more than on an average of seven years of peac* preceding, notwithstanding the impofi:>on of new taxes, to the amount of 7,500,000 a year, within the fame period. Bth. That the imports into Great Britain, have on a similar average, duiiag the last leven years, exceeded those in the former period of fsven years of peace, annually 4,230,000 pounds. 9th. That the Britifti manufa&ures ex ported, have on a similar average, during the lad seven ysars, exceeded these in the former period, annually, 4,008,000 pounds. 10th. That foreign goods, and manufac tures, exported from Great Britain, have 011 a similar average, during the last seven years, exceeded those in the former period, annually 5,085,000 pounds. Uth. That the probable balance of the trade of Great Britain, is in her favor, on an average of the l ift four years, to the ex tent, of abolit 14,800,000 pounds per .an nam. The preceding facts, ought to be well weighed, by our politicians, and the consi- derate, and reflecting part of the communi- ty. Admitting, wh t cannot he doubted, rhe correftnefs ofthefe fails, Is Great Bri iain in ber decrepitude or at the eve of a ge- neral dissolution, political, moral, and finan cial ? It is with this Nation, lb competent to every purpose of war, aud every public exigency of State; so flourishing in her commerce and revenue ; and so triumphant at sea, that the scge writer of the letter to Mazzie ; and the lesser sages, who pets abroad for a moment, in morning and even ing Chronicles, Auroras, and Examiners, think it adviseable, the United States, should avoid all commercial, o' puitical connexion, lead they be overwhelmed in her fall, which a fliort time ago, was considered, as tnevi- table. At length it may be expe&ed that the ghost of Jonathan Robbins is fairly laid at reft, ar.d that the curs of fadlion will cease their howlings over his grave. In all the countless variety of democratic abfurditits never did their blundering malice stumble on a more unpropit ous theme. His na lie (hall no longer refftund amid their drunken feflivals—no longer flaud prominent on the page of their hireling libelifts—no longer tven infamous, it will fink into the fame ob livious receptacle which entombs the other faints of the Newgate Calendar ; and rob his worthy panegyrists of one interesting to pic for their elcquencc, till some new Hero (hall arise to claim their devotion, armed with the triple merit of perjury, piracy aud murder. J„nies Lyon, the late pr'nter at Fairha ven, (Ver.) and a legitimate son of the m famous Mat. Lyon, has been eonvi&ed of publishing a libel on Capt. Peter French, and f«ntenced to pay a fine of 500 dollars damages, in favor of the plaintiff. [Newark Ga%. This inherit ant of libellous justice, has since made his retreat to Richmond, (Vir.) where he has issued his proposals, and is soliciting fubferiptions, throug the medium of every Repub tcan Press in the Union for a once a fortnight paper, entitled " Tht Friend ♦/ the Peoplt," to be printed on the largest size paper in use, well executed.. for One Dollar a year. In the name of Li berty and Virtue, he calls on the Republi cans for their support, as his object is grand, and devoted to their service. The motives which have induced him to undertake this publication is Sated in his address, which appeared in the Cenlinel of Freedom lad Tuesday, and is truly demonstrative of eve ry Democratic dtfign againlt the Federal Government, and its worthy Helmsman. IS THE MAN A GIANT I A pair of flloes was made a few days ago in this city, by Mr. William Grum, in Chreflens Alley, between Fifth and Sixth streets, for a man in the Jersey : the size of which is so aftoniflling, that we communicate their dimension to the public—incredible as it r.:ay appear, the faift is to be relied on, that the nieafureinent of one flioe is as sol- lows : The length of the ftioe - length of the hind quarter - - i length of the vamp .... g length of the heel - - • - 6 width of the sole ----- 64 width of the heel ----- length of the Yatnp over the inftep'n-J ---circumference over the inftrp circumference length-ways N. B. In one "f these Oioes, two sizeable men put all four of their feet, and did not fill it j neyerthel-fs it is supposed that the (lines will be rather tight on the man's feet for whom tkey are made. The price of making them was fix dollars. We-are told that the man has bo disease in his feet, hut they are of their natural fiie ; and that l;c is an a&ive smart man, of prodigious bulk. It is in contemplation to procure a pair of htE old (hoes for the Mufeuni, if'he will agree to it. MARRIED]—On Thnrfday Evening last, the 6th inft. by John Bartholofnew. Esq.

Extraß from the an/iucr of the House of 4f fcmbly to the speech of his Excellency the Go vernor, at the commencement of the fejfton. The provision for amendment in our fede ral constitution being of thehigheft impor tance to the political welfare of the United States, we detm it our duty to devise or approve every alteration in that compact, which experience and found policy may di&ate.
