Says a Correspondent,
Our anarchists whose success depends on
concealing their true character difiike the
title antifederalift. They fay we are all
federal party names and diftindlions
should be dropped. The very fame f men
with the impudence that suits their want
of principles, and the inconfifteney that
might be expected from their fuperficial
knowledge, claim the title of republican,
as the diiinflion of their party; as if the
friends of a republican government whom
they Dander and oppose were not republi
cans. If they will give party names, let
them patiently wear their owu. They
chose it in 1787 and 1788, why because
the people are federal should they jhrink
from it now ?
In fevers! factious newfp3pers, no
moderate share of impudence has been
exerted in vain to diilinguifh the fac
tion by the pretty title of the Republi
cans. The Republican interest See. &c.
But it would not anfvver. Who are the
mock Republicans ? The whiskey men,
and the members in a certain aflembly,
whose fpecches and thirteen letters and
whispers of calumny a_nd falfehood at
the elections inflamed the whiskey men
and gave them pretences for mifchief.
Now it may be Republican for a par
ty who are in the United States, about
5,000 to five millions, to meet, and
resolve the laws odious, and then tram
ple them under foot. It may be Re
publican for the leaders of the party to
make speeches, which stir lip such ex
cefTes. But if this is Republicanism,
it is of a new and most abominable fort,
from which and the profefTors of it,
(jCod Lord deliver us—and we {hall
be deliver when the people attend their
elections, and
Most of the antifederal newspapers
in the United States seem to be (ilent,
or merely to whisper faintly the old ac
cusations againfl Government. The
Boston Chronicle has long been remark
able for perseverance as well as hardi
hood. Mr. Genet was given lip here
by (lis friends, and his accufeis had
nearly dropt the mention of his name
and his excefies. The Chronicle wri
ters however still fought for him. They
laviihed praises upon his spirit and te
publicanifm as if such cordials could
raise a dead man. Either the orders
from here miTcarried or the subs at
Boston mistook their tenor and mean
ing. Here the vent of incendiary ca
umny has been fliut, becauf« the licen
tioufnefs tl'at difg>scei the newspapers
fo.nc time ago would ftiengthen the
prevailing opiniea that such things fo
mented the infurrettion. But the Chro
nicle writers go on to vindicate them
selves and their party from the charge
of sedition with a spirit worthy of the
whiskey cause. Some mea»s ought to
be fallen upon to prevent theinfurgent
printers *t a dsltance from marring the
designs of fa&ion and anarchy, at they
seem to be so much behind hand in their
politics, they never fail to disgrace their
party more than the Government.

" I find it is the general opinion that no
vote of Congrefa against felf-crcated focie
t:es could bare been more damning to men*
that have one particle of feeling, than the
opprobrium thrown upon them in the
hcufe. The contempt with which mem

one who has the lealt pretension to charac
ter or patriotism can/zot be encreafed ; and
*0 human consideration will foften this
fentinaent, unless a degree of pity ihould
be excited for the fate of those few who
have so far out-run the great body of their
fellow-citizens as to have reached the goal
of moral and political infamy before the
many who have only come in fight of it.
Lad evening arrived the brig Mary,
Capt. Fleming, from Bourdeaux, which
(he left the 19th of Odober, Captain
Fleming was at Paris the 7th at which
time every thing was tranquil—the
people highly elated with the success of
their armies, and of their cruzing (hips
who take an amazing number of prizes.
Provisions were in great plenty, and
r.ot so high as might be expe&ed.
Two divisions of waggons, loaded with
treafurc, under ah efeort of dragoons,
arrived at Paris while he was there.
The Brest fleet was still in Port.
By this arrival Paris papers to the 12th
and Bourtleaux papers to the 18th o<fl.
are received; among other important arti
cles of information which they contain, it
appears that the city of Cologne with an
immense quantity of property & the finelt
arsenal in the world have fallen into poflef-

CONGRESS.
HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, December 22, 1794.
After reading and referring a number
of petitions to the committee of claims,
the House took up the transfer bill,
founded 011 the resolution moved by
Mi. B. Bourn ; which was read a fe
cotid time and ordered to be engrofled.
The hoiife then went into a commit
tee of the whole on the bill providing
an uniform system of naturalization, Mr.
Cobb in the chair. An amendment
was moved by Mr. Giles, on the fubjeft
of expatriation, the substance of which
is, that persons who have, or may expa
triate themselves from any state, shall
not be reftorrd to citizenship without a
fpectal aft of the lrgiflature of the state
from which they expatriated themselves.
Mr. Tracy moved an addition to thii a
mendment; which provides that an aft
of the general government /hall be also
necessary to their restoration. This *-
meifdment gave rife to a debate.
Mr. Giles finally withdrew his amend
ment. The Committee reported progrtfs
PI SCATAQU A-B RIDGE,
Leading' from Newington over Pifcata
que-Riverto Durham, is now paflable,
and in a few days will be compleately
finifhed—lts diitance from Portfmonth
is seven miles—from Dover four ;—
The River which it crosses is of a great
depth—in moll places about fifty-two
feet at high-water; the whole length
of the Bridge, is 2362 feet—width 38.
This piece of Archite&ure has been
under the management of THOMAS
THOMPSON and JOHN PEI RCE,
Esquires—Agents appointed by the
Dire£iors—lt confifls of twj principal
parts—tht firft is a Pile Bridge, carried
from Newington shore to Rock-lfland ;
the second is an Arch, from Rock Is
land to Goat-Island j the third from
Goat-Island' to Durham shore; is si
milar to the firft, supported on piles of
great length ; from fifty-five to fucty
three feet, driven into the bed of the

proved plan. Mr. ENOS WHITING
of Norwich, in Conne&icut, has had
the fuperintendance of the pile work,
which is finifhed in a strong and work
man-like manner. He has also con
ftruftcd a draw for the pa flag e of (hip
ping, which moves across in » hor^o.i
sal direction, infteari of being raised on
hinges ; but it is feared this expe&ed
improvement will not answer the pur
pose.
The Arch isfupported on two Abut
merit—the one on Rock-Illand, the
other on Goat-Island—the Chcrd of
this Arch, between the two Abutments,
whire the water pafTcs, is two hundred
and forty four feet, fix irches in length,
it is composed of three Tier Girders or
Arches-—the Crown of the lower one
next to the water, is Gxteen feet from
the Chord, and twenty feet from high
water.—The fccoud tier supports the
planking on which the road p<ifl'e6—
which is on a larger circle to facilitate
the travelling. The third tier or cap
pieces, forms the top railing of the
bridge, which is ornament
ed-—The length, of the areh being mueh
greater than there was any fatisfadlory
account of—appeared at firft a very
formidable difficulty, but its prefect
great strength and firmnefs is equal to
the mod sanguine expe&ation, and fuf
ficient to answer every purpose.
Mr. Timothy Palmer of Newbury
Port, in Maflachufetts, was the Archi
te£l who contrived and presented the
model on a plan entirely new, and un
der wtiofe sole directions this accurate
and beautiful piece of mechanism was ex
ecuted. The model of Merimac
Bridge was bad from the fame person,
who from his knowledge of the theory
and practical part of this fort of mecha
nics, may justly be considered as one of
the moll ingenious Archite&s of the
present age.
A convenient Tavern House and {ta
bles arc erected at the expense of the
Ptoprietors, on Goat-Island, forthe ac
commodation of tra/ellers. The road
is now very direst, and from the exer
tions of the towns contiguous to it, is
put in good order. This road & bridge
being on the great route from Portland
through Dover to Newbury-Port and
Boston, will greatly accommodate all
who pass that way.
The work for building this Bridge
was begun in April lafl, finte which as
much as three thousand tons of oak tim
ber—two thousand tons pine timber—
eighty thousand tons (tones, have been
used, and a suitable number of hands
employed. Such exertions reflect great
hono. on the Agents and others con
cerned for completing in so ihort a time
so great a work.

NEW-YORK, Dec. »i.
Charleston, Nov. 19.
John Neufville, Esq. lias lately iflued
his certificates of funded debt in favor
of this state to the amount of nearly one
million and a half of dollars, due from
the United States. A specie interest of
about 13,000!. sterling, will be annual
ly paid on this capital, from the com
mencement of the ensuing year, and a
eonfiderably greater sum after the year
1800. The whole debt of this state is
about half a million of pounds sterling.
If therefore the legislature can annually
raise, by taxes, seventeen thousand
pounds, in addition to the current ser
vices of the year; the whole debt of the
ftatt may be funded at fix per cent. To
enfufe punctuality in the payment of
the interest, it will be proper to lay the
tax this! year, and to defer payment of
interest till the year 1796. With a
year's tax in advance, and five quarters
interest from Congress, amounting to
69,000 dollars, alio in advance, it will
be, fully in the power of the state to be
punctual in the payment of the interest
on its whole debt, from and after the
end of 1795. The creditors of South
Carolina are therefore cautioned against
parting with the evidences of their debt,
as the legislature, at their approaching
feflion, have the means of doing them
justice ; and it may be fairly presumed
that they will not negle£l so important
a partof their duty.
