FOR THE GAZETIE OF THE UNITED STATE*, Mr. Fen no, WHY w s iv t the elegant French SonrW, ad dreflVd ro Mr. Fieneau, anrt published >n his Gazette ot W<dw fJay last, trar.flated tor the delight ot common readtis ? 1 is unk i»d ihus to confine 'he treatto the Jew. In the Nation's Ga zette the many w ay expect to partake ot what is good. And that it is good may be ps chimed from its being in that ch'fte and free Gazette, aj veil as from its being a lampoon on the Vicc-Pie fjdent and the Sccrctary ot the Tfeafury. Mr. JFieneau being t raffia tor of French was in duty bound to translate it ; and in rhyme too, as he is a poet. Many admirersof t"c chaste style of that Gazettt, are ot opinion that the editor emly could do juilice 10 the spirit ot the original, which is | oMenJoft *n the translation trom one tongue to a notheT— zi good fpii it fl ; « wntle it i»drawing 11.- to anoth r t ik. The re is an elegante in the claf ficai works ot Gvub-flrret, which was thought brv nd the reach ol imitation in t-his country, till the aticmpt by tin editor of that paper evinced b\ nsCuccefa that fit occafjons are lometimes wanting, but w hen the) do occur they feld« tn tail to draw forth genius No sooner did that gazette appeal, than it seemed if certain bright geniuses had sud denly found their talents wiih the opportunity t<< display them. The translator ot Fiench, may be fatd, therefore, to do a public wrong "by with holding a trarflarion which he only has a talent t». /rive, without ftiffer'rng the volatile (alt of th< y «ich ;o tfcape. Only two reasons ocdur t«j diifudcie him. The piece being in praise of hm ft't, his modeOy is fparcd some blushes while it remains in a foreign tongue ; and secondly, bein<; hired in the department of ft ate, poflibly his em ployer might be offended with a lampoon on two great officers of the government But a free press, that is to fay, a press en jaged to publish cutting, two-edged pieces agailift men and meafuresjhoulr' not be gagg'd and muzzled oy little scruples. An oppoi tunity to tcl! keen truths may riot occui with equal arfvanrafv ; and on the other hand, if the ptcve were tratiflated, though his modesty mighi frtficr. it is to be hoped it would not die of its wound ; and his employer would forgive anv rude treatment of those great officers, from a just fenfeof the great zeal and faithful Cervices of his clerk and editor in the caufc of liberty. Pethap?, after ail, the many may yet hope to be favored with a translation. C. FROM THE MAIL. Mr. Claypoole, H AVINGob e vej in yonrpaperof this day, a New-York paragraph, that the Electors ot Vermont would mo'.t probably give a unani mous vote for t':e re-ele<stion of George Walh ington and John Adam*, to the office of Prefi dci t and Vice-Pr\,';dent of the United States. J could wish to hint to the public the reason why the Vermont Ek-ftors will so vote, efpeci allywith refpett to the latter gentleman j which is, that they believe hint a true friend to the in terefti oi the United State--, a true friend to its conftitut on, a Sim and true republican, of ho ne!l and independent lentiments, and a man wl.n prelides, in his present fta>ion, with the ftiiiSefl integrity and impartiality This opi nion, I believe, is alto entertained by the Ver mont representatives in both bouses of Con gress. I know also, that every person of libe ral and honest sentiments, who is acquainted wit i Mr. Adams, will, and does freely acknow ledge it to be well funded. I will add, that I believe Mr. Adams is too honest a man to dif lemble his political sentiments. A'ov. j, 1792, Domestic Articles. COLUMBIA, (S. C.) Odtober 27.
