Beware of that ! tried Mr. Cbtlrt- ' ley, what would our worthy President, Directory Cafkier and Clerks think of this ? It i 6 their business to pry for us into these matters, and what grounds have we to fufpefct them ? or why will men thro' mere jealousy soar beyond their sphere ? have we not the right by free fuffrage to eledt. bank officers fkil ful and wife ? and is not their interest | embarked with ours, their own benefit j will therefore secure our advantage.

STOCKBRIDGE, July 15. With pleasure we notice the publica tions in late papers, relpefting the sen timents of the great body of the people, on the measures adopted by the Federal Representatives of the freemen of America, in the last session of Con gress. The moment of insult to our flag, and depredations on the commerce of the United States, by British marau ders, was eagerly occupied by mad a narchists, to excite coniplaint against the General Government, and abuse of 'the men who were ltriving to procure us an honorable redress of injuries, and if possible at the fame time preserve to this country the inestimable blessings of public peace and tranquility. In some inftancestbe views of those who have en deavored to delude, villify and misrepre sent, have been crowned with a momen tary success. But it is afTcrted, that in many pla ces where ferment has been excited, the citizens, havia.g leifuie ta reflect, have decidedly declared their approbation of he system adopted by our rulers, and cqw'efce, cheeifui'y, in the hope that the Jionour, dignity and peace of A merica, will yet go hand in hand This, while, it mull encourage the real friends of thecoontry invariably to pur fuea line of conduct: maiked with wif dcm, prudence and energy, will plant j daggers in the hearts of apostate states men, who are seeking to prelerve among the people an appearance of patriotism, while the real principles of it (which they do not poficfs) confound their plans, & render abortive th-ir intrigues May the good sense of Ameri cans triumph over dehifion—may they never judge till cool deliberation has had its full force—the result will assuredly be a neglett of the bad, and a venerati on for the good.—" Error is momenta ry— truth eternal." PHILADELPHIA. Mr. Fen no, I am dire&ed to contradifi the pur port of a paragraph under the Rich mond head of the loth instant, holding up the idea that the Chickafaws are un friendly to the United States. Nothing can be more contrary to the real state of the cafe. The letters of Governor Blount to the Secretary of WaT, allud ed to in the Richmond paragraph give no such information.* A party of the Chickafavvs, and another of the Choftaws are 'now ac ting with the army of Majoi General Wayne. The strong friendship of Pia mingo, & the Chiefs who are at present in this city on a visit to the President of the United States, has been evinced by an invariable course of attachment. Since the late war, no Chickafaw ever killed a citizeri of the United States. The paragraph would seem to have been calculated to cause sortie imprudent people to insult or injure the Chicka faws on their return—such a circum stance Would disgrace the perpetrators, befidea rendering them liable to the penalties of the laws, as the Chicka faws are under the fafe guard and pro tection of the United States. JOHN STAGG, jun. Chief Clerk. War Department, July 23d. 1794. * Since tht late no Ghickafaws ever killed a citizen of the United. States. A correspondent who was present last e- Vening at M<*|[Vs.

From tht Mommy (,hraa<'' 1 - if — April 26. A new proof that inftirre&ions do not always begin with the illiterate and swinish multitude is, that the students at Cracow were the very firit to join the Polish chief Kofciufko, and ex change the pen for the sword. The Swedish arid Danish courts, pro voked by the conduct of our ministers, who have seized near 350 {hips of the two nations, under pretence of pr« venting supplies ftom being carried to France, have at last fignified their de termination to make reprisals, unless we do them speedy juflice. As consi derations of equity make so little im prefiion upon us, they have resolved jointly to fit out a fleet of sixteen ships of the line and ten frigates. The last accounts also from America are of the molt angry nature, no less than two or three hundred American vedels have been seized by our cruixcrs and privateers among the Windward and Leeward Llands, independent of those carried into Jamaica and the Ba hama 1 (lands, upon principles noiu aban doned by our miniflers, and independent of those brought into our ports in Eu ■ rope. A thousandth part of the inju ry done to these powers would have been deemed fufficient to stimulate Great Britain to declare war against the aggressors ; but it seems that we ex pect to insult every neutral power with impunity. According to Admiral Sir C. Saunders, it is the privilege of the English to de no right and take ho wrong. I OUT OF PHILADELPHIA. ARRIVED, Crpt.
