For the GAZETTE cj the UNITED STATES. Mr. Fenno, I HAVE been hitherto a silent observer of t'.ie petulance displayed by the writers in the- National Gazette, in conducting an oppolition to the measures of the general government, and its real friends; but their want of candor and decency has proceeded to such a length, that I mult now request a place in your paper for the following remarks: It appears evident from circumstances, and the general complexion of the publications in the National Gazette, that it is only the tool of a faction, and the prostituted vehicle of party spleen and oppolition to the great principles of order, virtue and religion. The virulence and, scurrility of the writers are truly chara&eriibc;! but I could not have Itippofed them quite so weak as they appear to be.. Do they imagine that their puffing artifice in magnifying their influence 011 the public mind has escaped detec tion? Can they suppose that the cry of danger which they have let up, has diliurbed the re pole of the citizen ?, who feel their happiness, ;i.nd will not be bullied out of it? The effrontery of these men is now so brazen, that it glares upon every eye. The charge which they make against others, recoil so itrongly upon the/rtfeives, that nothing but hackneyed prostitution can prevent them from feeling it. Are they not, for example, the very hirelings which they insinuate that others are? Is not one of them profededlv retained in pay under a department of the vCTy government which they oppose ? Do they not difcovcr a spi rit of intrigue, and that dark designing envy' which sickens at superior abilities and fame in others; While the National Gazette is pretended; to be republican in its complexion, do not the publications in it uniformly contradict the ge nuine principles of liberty, by attempting to en force the opinions of a junto, as those which are to be of decisive authority with the nation, and the wiih of the minority as that which is to controul the majority?— They bellow loudly for tSe Liberty of the Press; but, examine the National Gazette, and fee if any thing in favor of our national government is admitted into it, while nothing against it appears to be refufed ; and measures evidently calculated for the public good are wilfully misrepresented, as in the cafe of the poft-office law, merely to serve the pur poses of party. It is high time, Mr. Fenno, that the maJk -vere torn from the faces of these profefled iric:: di, but real enemies of the United States, that their true features may be seen—they ought to be freely and fairly exposed to the view of the world, that the public may be no longer deceived by the ridiculous affectation of those hypocritical republicans, those pretended advocates for the liberties of the people. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. Mr. Fenno, THE fame person who is Editor to the " Na tional Gazette," receives a friary from Government, for jiis Cervices as Tianilator.— I suppose it is not disputed, that his service in that duty answers its demand and expectation; if ft>, surely there that bufinefi ends, and he, as Editor to his press, left free (as I hope and ex pect was always intended by government, as well as himiif.j Hut Mr. T. L. from lome idea, compared with himlelf, fecms to think otherways Perhaps he will thank some one to help him out in his publication, and fay for him; t lat he himfelf is for /ale, and at how low a price; this I can venture to do for him—but how he wiM jet the quality of his goods recom mended, may be a dillicult question.

It has been itated as an important Fa<_% that Rtiffia and Pruflia mean to attack Poland, and to deilroy its new Constitution.—The follow ing fketcli of the proceedings of the Polilh Diet manifefts the unanimity of that bodv, and the confidence V.iey have in theirKing—Stanislaus -Augustus : On the :6 th of April, the Diet parted a Pre parative ef public Jiejenee. The preamble states, that " taking God and all the people of the earth to witness, that we do not mean to de clare war against any power : That we hold in the greatest regard the friendlhip and good undemanding that has fublifted between us and our neighbors; and that we are occupied only in maintaining our liberty and independence— and confideridg that the negotiations between foreign cCurts require from ui, for the guar antee of the territories of the republic, of the nation, and of our happy Constitution, that we Ihould prepare for our defence, we decree— '■ " T ''. at the King shall exert the power in verted in him by the laws with tiie greatest acti vity and efficacy, in providing for the defence jw the nation. a.

A' a numerous meeting of the citizens of Philadelphia, hit Wednesday evening, a com mittee was Ciioicii to report to the meeting the names ot rive perions, as conferees in a general conference, propo;ed to be held by them anci other persons from the ieveral counties ot' thi; Commonwealth, for the purpose of forming and propoiing tickets witii the names of proper per !ons to be vot.'d for at the next election of Re presentatives in Congress, and of electors of Pieiident and Vice-President of the United States—The committee having withdrawn, after some time, returned and reported the fol lowing gentlemen as conferees, viz.

I his story comes via Edenton and Ha lifax, North-Carolina. Accounts from Mai tinico, via Boston, inform oi great disturbances in that Island. On the 6th June, the troops stationed at St. Pier res, it is laid, revolted. The General, with ibme troops and ships ol war, went down from Port- Royal. This threw tiie town into confufion, and the people run to arms—the troops, it seems, embarked 011 board several vefiels, injift ing on being sent to France June 11. The in habitants were still under arms, and will conti nue so till the troops are failed. These soldiers it appears, are all friends to the Revolution, ex cept a tew, who are staunch friends to the Gc* neral, who is a staunch friend to the planters who are firm Ariltocrats. DETECTOR.

In the Britilh house of Commons May 25 a motion was made for an address of thanks'to the King for his proclamation agadnft seditions writings and publications,in the following wolds: An humble address of thanks to his Majeftv expressive of the attachment of the house to his person and family, and their determination to exert themselves in opposing the wicked purpo les of the seditious writings aiming to de?rov the tranquility of the kingdom."
