the ■" ficuri'ty of the rights and liberties of

long from inebriation, the conflable'j story of
the rum-bottie, and a great many other sto

highly honorary not only to the city, but to
every individual concerned therein, whether

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.
Various reports having been circulated re
lative to the force of the British frigate the
J&pilon, we are authorized to aflert that the
force of that vefiel, on the .morning of the

H ed a of old nails, brriken

JLngiifh, in their accounts of naval engagement* with
the French, have Jrequently charged tiicir enemies
with doing the fume.
Capt. Bompard has presented to the New-
York Tammany Society the colours which his
frigate wore during the engagement between
the Arabufcade and Boflon.
The committees appointed to colJeft sub

grants from Cape-Francois, in New-Yo k,
are proceeding in the business; and according
to the newspapers of that city, meet with
great foccefs—(everal thousand dollar; had
been fubtipribed on Wednesday last.
Subfcnptions are opened njfo in Boflon,
and In lijO't, in ajmoft aH parts of the Union.
The collection in this city for the relief of
the unfortunate St. Domingo fufferers, inde
pendent of tlie Theatie, and Circus benefits,
and of the colle&i6n m:ide by the French Pa

yet perseveres in destroying freedom. But I
have the Conization to belie that a vast
majority of the people are more pleased with
our government, than the people of any other
nation in the worldwith theirs—and the puff
ing and spattering in fomtf abandoned papers, is
the work of very few. Two or three scribblers
in a State can ke>°p up the dust, and make
some folks believe they are numerous. A re
cent matter here will g'tve food for the Honi :*•

will fee by the papers, and Qur wife. Governor,
ever fiaunch irt defending his sovereignty p r *s

I am a believer in Judge Jay's lawdo&rine :
but w'uether there is enough of the true re
publican spirit and principle in our country
to ftipport a true republic, time only can de
termine. Our great profeffed doflrine is, 44 a
government of laws, and not of Ac
cording to this principle (which is the life and
foulof republican government) not only States,
but the Nation, ought to be suable ; and as
the Natjoci appeals to the Jaws to recover its
due from individual citizens, citizens have au
equal right to appeal to the law foi justice—
otherwise the government is riot a govern
ment of laws, but a government of men. I
was at ftrlt sorry the a&ion v, as brought for
ward so soon, in the cafe of Georgia, but per
haps it is best to bring us to the touchstone
now, and fee whether we have virtue and
repubjicaniim fufficient tp maintain our go

44 Ynu query as to our reprefentntives—-I
corje<Fture, with you, there may be some of a
doubtfulgtndcr % ,but I think they will all pull
the right way, and generally with our old

fclves by being on the wrong fide. This is
true, in refpetf to all members, but unfortu

are some who think the crooked paths of übi

at 12 o'clock : His arrival way announced by
the ringing of bells and the firing of ca"nnon ;
He was received at the battery by the com-,

C«mmodore James Nicholson in the Chair.
This committee, while they entertain the
most profound veneration for the glorious
caufc of liberty in which the French nation is
engaged, and are ready and willing at all
times not only to express their unfeigr.ed at
tachment to the Republic ofF'ance, but their
si >cere and most Bearty wishes for its com
plete and perfect eflib'ifhment, are de<plv
iinp r efiVd with the importance of the United
States observing a ftrift neutrality between
the belligerent powers of Europe.
It is therefore the opmionof this committee,'
and they c!o accordingly refoJve, (one perion*
only dissenting) to recommend to their con.
flitucnts, that they join their fellow-citizen*,
in the meeting propoed to be held ta morrow,
in front of Trinity Church, in order to co
operate with them moil heartily in exprefl'ing
their iincere, warm and unabated attach,
