An Extra half flieet of the Gazette c.f the United States was published this morning, containing the Foreign News received at Boston ; we have re»publi(hed it in this evening's paper. In the Price-Current, in the firft page of this day's paper, under the head of Stocks, feverai articles will be found, with their prices annexed, not published heretofore. A Virginia paper, states the eleaion of Littleton Tazewell as Member of the Uni ted States Legislature, in place of the Ho norable John Marlhall. Died, at Petersburg, Virginia, Mr. Jo seph Belknap, Printer, a native of Maf facliufetts. The 35th of this month is the day ap pointed tor the eleftion of a Representative toCongrefs, for the Third Middle Diftritt, in Maflachufetts, in the room of the Hon. Judge Sewall. The only candidate which has been announced to the public is Mr. Benjamin Pickman, jun. a Federalist. \Tha following is copied from the Aurora of lajl Saturday morning ] Quid leg'j sine moribut, Cays Horace?— The best lew 3 are of he confequtnce among a nation of lafcals. His observation is veryjuft, and it has been most wretchedly exemplified in some of the towns of Vir ginia. For instance, at this moment, the chief magistrate of Peterfourg, is one Har rifon, a lame Scots parson. When Corn wallis, in the lad war, approached that place, H?rrifon went ess to meet him, and a£ted as his guide.

That the whole is falfe, the reader will conclude with certainty when he learns that Mr. Smith never was nominated In fpeflor-Geneial—iliat Jvir. Watson was not a member of the Senate at the time referred to—that he never was nominated Infpedor- General—ana h?s not held any appointment whatever in the army, since the close of the revolution war, in "which it is possible captain Duc:w was a drummer in foreign service. ' How'long will the villainous aspersions of this foreign outcast, this woithlefs fu gitive, this chofi-n aflociate of Miss Mi~- randa Fairfax of Shannon-bill, Virginia, continue to reproach our country ? The brig Ranker, Capt. EJihu Merchant, arrived at Alexandria at Sunday August 3, last from the lfle of May, with a cargo of fait, being without papers of any kind, and there appearing some contradictions in the account given by the Captain and crew the Mayor and Alderman of that town, on ful'picion of some improper conduft on the part of those iji pofTeffion of the veflel,cau- Tedi the Captain and crew to be arretted by I warrant, and they were examined before the -Tiiftifts of the town. The Captain Hated that.he is a native of Martha's Vineyard, an-Tf iled from Boflon upwards ot' two years ago,' in the Brig Patty belonging to Benjamin Hodgeden-of Bolton, which, lie fold on account of the owner that he purchaled the brig Ranger in the Ifl-ovid of Teneriffe, in January last, and failed from thence in ballafh having 13 gnns and about 30 fUnd of small arms on board for the Isle of May, where he took in about 2000 bufliels of fait, and failed for Boflon ; that on his homeward paflage they were boarded by a French privateer of 20 gun*, and plundered of their clothes and papers, except his letter of inftru&ions from . Mr. Hodgeden ; that while the privateerfmen 1 were on board a large veflel hove in fight, fnppoftd to be a British armed vefTel, on which the privateer left him, after throw ing two of his guns overbard ; that he made Cape. Hatteras, and being short of provi- Cons, pot into the firft river he could make, which Wftsf the Potomac. The fiift and second mate* reTated the voyage with several deviations' from th<- captain ; dating, that the round house had been cut offthe vessel at Teneriffe," after the ift mate was on lioard, and that they had loft two men overboard on their pafTage from the Iflj of May. The crew, 10 in number, gave different and contradicting accounts of the voyage ; lome stating that the round house was taken off at Teqeriffe ; foine declaring that they were not boarded by a privateer ; and others that they three 8 gui.s overboard ; some a gree that two men were loft overboard, and others state that none wrre loft. The maf teT and mates fay they are Americans, and ".he crew are Scotch, Irish, English and Por tuguese, L '~ Alter examination, the captain, mates and trew were committed to jail for further trial, 'And the brig is difmantelled and remains in possession of the Custom tjoul'e officers. Fur Gazkttk of the Ukiteb Statks MR. sr.trxE, The note left in the office of the Philadelphia Gazette, refpetting the General Court Martial, was very incorieflly printed in that paper of Tkurfday—in the name of good English you are requested to reprint it without its deteilf. " We understand that a General Court Martial, consisting of thirteen officers of the army, has been in session, at the Union Hotel, in this city, liuce the 24th ult The lubje&s before them are, an officer of Dra goons, from the State of Tenneflee, and a Captain of Artillery, from Fort in tile State of New-York.

"When a mat drfirli, and emlracu error, it requires more than ordinary candour, to believe Lint honest." MR. RUSSELL, WE have vindicated the of go vernment, and expoled Mr. Jefferfon's hy pocritical deSertion of hi" own principles in two very (1 liking and important exam ples, and before we quit a Subjcft I'd fertile in proofs of this philotibher's inlincerity, it may be entertaining and ufeful, to adduce one or two more inllances to the juftifica tio.i of onr government, and to the utter eoiifufim of this g.ieat author and his party, It is a favourite maxini of JncobunlVn, tliat mankind are one great family, whose rights and ir.terelb are eflentially the fame,, aid that 1 it any nation is Struggling, for the maintenance of its rights and privileges, it is our -doty to overlook the vulgar and ordi nary ties which impel us to a neutral litua tion, and not only to Sympathize with, but to lent a -helping- hand to relieve them from the y.— DeSpising, as beneath their notice, the lior rower and meaner relations and duties of men and citiiens, in domefti-c and national connexions, tkey proclaimed their country as the Grand ■Protectress .of hfhr.an rights, wherever injured or however invaded, and offcrrd-it as an affylum to the persecuted or Oppreffert as every nation, charafler, and colour. To describe the effeft's of this liberal qnd enlightened policy, rcv fellow-citizens, would be insulting mockery to your feeling?.

The exertions of Ames, Dexter, and Harper, to put a (lop to the influx of European criminals and fu gitives, 1 will l.ifig be remembered with grati tude by every friend to the independence of our country ; —and the violent opposition madebythe Jacobins,by Mr. Jefferfon and the dominion of Virginia to these falytary. regulations, ought not speedily to be forgot tep. Let" us now, quote the Philosopher himfelf againff his modern opinions and against the clamours of hit party : 1 " The present delire of America is to produce population by as great importations of foreigners as pollible" But is this founded, in good policy " Are there no inconveniences to be thrown into the Scale again ft the advantage ?" 14 Every spiecies of Government has its fpecific principles— our's are peculiar"—" It is a composition of tht freest principles of the EnglifhCor.. dilution with others derived from natural Foreigners will bring with them , the principles of- the governments they leave, Which they imbibed in early youth ; —or if qflc, to ;throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing as t/fKo/ fto"m one extreme to the other." "■*« It Would be a miracle were they to, flop precisely at the print of temperate liberty." See Jcfferfon'a notes, pages 140, t, and 1. Never were founder truths con vtyed iii language more intelligible. Had they been Spoken prophetically, we'fliould have been alrnofl disposed to think that Mr- Jefferfon had been familiar with tie Sybils. What would the eloquent Mr. Jefferfon, so fiolk-d-in thinking right, and acting wrong, have fa id, if he tould have forefeen that our country would have been thus inundated with Foreigners ? And with foreigners too of his last and word description, who had, before they came to our country, thiown off their early prejudices, and passed from one extreme to the other—from the extreme of despo'ism to tfie worse extreme of an un bounded licentinufnefs and anarchy. Would he at that time have'thought it wife and! "politic, tp harbour such vipers in our bosom ? Would he have denounced the conftltuted authorities of his country for authorizing their retrieval'! Most assuredly, the author of Jefferfon's Notes in 1781 would have ap plauded the lvheu treating of the Virgi nia, he lay's. " The Senate'is too hemegsni ous with the lower house : Being chosen by the f-me electors, at the fame time, and < at of the fame fubjt&s the choice falls on men of the fume description. The purpofc of eftablifhiiig two branches is to introduce the influence of different interests or diff; rent principles ; with us wealth and mifdom have an equal chance of admiflion into both branches. We do not, therefore, derive from the separation into two branches, those benefits which a p oper complication of principles is capable of producing." Again. *' '73 despots, (alluding to a Jingle branch) would surely be as opprefßve as one ; An eleSivt dtTpotifm was not the govern ment we fought for, but a balanced go vernment," &c. Such were the found opi nions of Mr. Jtfferfon before he went to France. The early French philufophers "I urgrt, and the Girondists, thought differ ently, and accordingly Dr. Franklin and Mr. Jefferfon as soon as they came in con taft with them, became wonderfully con verted. Herca it was that Mr. Jefferfon, so openly and ftreiiuoufly condemned the division of Congrefsinto two branches, and profeffed' that liberty could not be secured except by a single legislative assembly. Hence also the loud and vehement de nunciations of the Senate, by all the tools of his faflion, and in all the renal news papers in the employment of that faftion, and of France. Hence also Mr. Jefferfon's denunciation of the Federal cotiftitution in his letter to Maazei, where he malicioafly and falfely asserts, " that Washington and the British fa&ioti, (who are the fame as the present £Jftx junto) had wished to im- pose upon them the form of the British con- : dilution," t Do I retiace events beyond the memory of my read rs I Have they forgotten the at tempts in the papers of the faftion to run down the Senatotial branch ? Why have those clamours long since ceased ? Why did they ever exifl ? War it because their mas ters the French had rhen adopted a single branch ? And have they since grown tired of experiment ? Did Mr. Jtffeifon a> d our fadlion change their opinions with French measures ? To these queries, all honed and obfervisg men c n readily reply—ls it pos sible that the philosophic Jefferfon, so at tached to theory, can have so changed his creed as to approbate the present mild and lawfully founded republic of Fiance? Is he enraptured with th Conservative Senate ? Does he approve the Tribunate, and the L-"giflative Body ? The Five Thousand oligarchids to whom all offices are confi ned—The thirty thousand body guards— the Palace of the Luxembourg, and th"! modest Consul with full power, that some thing better than a diadem J Believe me, my fdlow-citizens, to all these things and to a thousand more absurd, would Mr. Jeffetfon most readily fubferibe For with him as with all the partisans of France, his affection does trot depend upon the form of the government, or upon the men who adminider it. His love to France j commenced under the monarchy ; it continu ed ardent in its turbulent and revolutionary date ; —it was undiminifhed under the pro te£torfhip of Robcfpierre—it did not abate under the republic with Five Kings, and it remains constant to it, under the arbitra ry dominion of a solitary tyrant. It could not therefore be an attachment to the Form —lt is equally apparent—his partiality could notarise frorp regard to the individuals who have fucceffivtly" admini dered the Government. For although to each individual who has exercised power, it has partaken of the warmth of pe fonal and fyinpathetic attachment, yet it has beep perpetually transferred with equal ardour to their fuccej/ive murderers /—What is it then ? And whence does it arise ? It is an ait chment to a foreign natioi for thefale of their influence—lt arises from a well known and frequently exemplified principle, in society that a faflion in the bosom of a country will always seek foreign aid. Will it not then cease, when Mr. J fferfon and his fa&ion get into power ?—God grant ! the experiment may never be mi.de—but if it should, you will still find the lame foreign aid resorted to, to keep tlem in power. I will be fortunate if Buonaparte should not do, what Philip of Macedon sd, first pro tect the Jacobin faftiori from the influence and force of the friends of order, then Lord it over both. If with such dangers flaring us in the face, we can be falfe to ourselves, if, little preju dices and partialities, if small intrigues, fliall absorb the sense of public danger, and can induce us to do any thing less, than all we are capable of doing, we del'erve the yoke and we fliall be patient under it. I fliall make, a tew observations on the kit tar to Mazzei in my next number. ERRATA. In the last nlimber of " Decius," for di vination read divination ; for Statesmen read Statesman ; for " so 3!r.
