The Editor of the N Y Daily Advertif r
has received a regular file of London Papers
to June 20 by the (hip Genetal Mereer, 44
days from Liverpool, he promises details
which have nut yet been publiflied.
Married, Mr. Charles P, Heath, to Mil's
"Hetty Keely, daughter of Mr. Mathias
Keely, Merchant,— all of this city.
We have seen various letters, received in
this city from Leghorn, from June 11 to 14 ;
they contain j'ucli contradiftoiy statements
of the operation* in Italy, that we Jiave de
dined publilhing them, from , 1 conviction
that thty tend only to perplex the politician.
From a concurrence of circumducts we are
clearly of opinion, th.t the late » brilliant
affair" related by the French, will eventu
' ally prove to be as brilliant as Mafiena's tin
fuccejtve Victories, the lustre of which en
abled hiin to fee his ■Way into Genoa, after
a precipitate rrtreat, where he has been com
pelled to surrender. One fact is very cer
tain, Genoa at the date of the latest ac
counts from thence, was in pOfleffion of
the Auflri<ins.
It is to be lamented that such brave men
as Maffrna, and other French Generals,
fliould so far deviate from the truth, at to
admit the truth of their statements to be
.questioned ; an apology however may be
pleaded, it is a notorious fact that all the
French Prefles are controuled by the Go
vernment, and nothing can be published
but by its permiflion.
Of the importance of the Englilli expe
dition toQmberon, w« cannot form a cor
"rcct opjnion'from the partial accounts in the
publie papers. The letter of Gen. Berna
dotte f»ems jvritten not to Ihow that he bas
conquered, but that he will attempt to con
quer. Though he ffects to speak lightly
of the Englifti difenibarkation and avers
that the troops carried off nothing but Cows,
yet the General fiankly allows they were
■paidfor. The French on the otl.ir hand,
are very prone to take property by violence
for which they forget to pay.
Captain Fotheringham, 0 f the British fliip
Roxa, (Tom St. Übes, arrived at Baltimore,
was infonned by the Governor of St. Übes,
that positive accounts had been received that
the French and Spanish combined fleets had
been seen off Barling's Island, on the coast
of Portugal, fleering to the southward, sup
posed destined for Cadiz or the Mediterra

A letter from an officer on board the In

Norfolk a French ship of 20 guns."
[The InfdrgetU must have been off the

The Abolition of Debts.
When- Agis; king of Spurts, obtained a
vote t» cancel all debts due from one citizen
to another 1 , and all' bonds, and cohtn«3s
were accordingly committed to the flames ;
Agcfilaiu, one of the Spartan p.itriors, who
h >p[.ened at the fame tirtie to be much in
debt, was so delighted with the fpeftacle, that
he declared, be b<;d never seen sa fine and
clear afire before. But, as might have
been expe&edj the refillt was unfortunate to
the community : a civil war broke out Toon
after ; the imprudent young king loft his
life in the con left ; and the artful Agefilaus
got rid of his debts and bis creditors toge
ther.
How would some of the American patri
ots rejoice to fee the.debts th*y owe to Bri
tish' fubjt-fls cancelled in the fame inanuer ?
Rather than mils of so great a boon, they
would consent to have them converted into
fiDoik, even by the blaze cf a war between
the two countries. What failed in a firft at
tempt, i V .ay succeed in a second. When
liodilities took place bftween the British
foldicry, ai d the inhabitants of Lexington in
MalTachuft tts ; a certain zealot, who ha?i
since been a governor, but who then wasjm
infolveut tax-£»theier; on hearing the re
port of the firft guns that were fired, declar
ed exultimjly, that he had never seen so
bright a day before. He was right i it
was the norniug of anew and glorious re
volution for him.
In general, there are no men so a&ive in
exciting either foreign or civil broils asthoftf
who are deeply in debt. The reason is plain :
mofl ot them are as void of moral honesty,
as they are loud, and arogant, iti their pre
teufions to public virtue. The patriot is one
of the.mod convenient ma/ks in the world,
to conceal a knave. If America fiiould be
involved in hostilities with any foreign coun
try, to defend a few such charafters. the go
vernment will partake of the guilt, as well as
disgrace, while a few artful rogues will run
away with the game.
It would be a problem in politics, that
the fame people, who have fhidioufly avoided
a war with one nation (from a proleffed love
of peace J) though it fenned neceflary to pro
tea their honor, and afTcrt their rights,
fliould be eager to draw the sword ae;ain(l
another, to avoid paying » jult and ancient
arrearage ; if, we did not know that the
former is a poor, arid the latter a rich nation,
and that the debtors of the one, for the most
part, are not the creditors' of the other,
This may be cpnliflent enough with the mo
rality of a democrat* but it is hardly recon
cilable to national honor, or to found p >licy
in a young commercial nation Pudet b<tc

The following EfTay we copy from the
Augulh Herald ; it contains impartial
fcntiiuents,
\V HA 1 EVER political differences
may exifl between Great-Brit-iin <nd Franc*,
1 there is one point in which their refpeftive
I cruisers *$ pei-feftly agree, as if their con
| dudt wus .he result of conventional agree
ment ; and that is t« commit depredations
on the American commerce—a few years
ago our merchants were perpetually robbed
on the high fea,s by Britilh privateers, lat
terly they have been plundered whenever
opportunity offered, by the privateers of
France ; «od. now the between
the frigates and privateers of the two jia
tiens appear to be, to excel in their vil
lainy towards the United States. While
we are at peace with one nation, and ne
gocipting with another, we are lubjeft to
almofl the fame injuries as if we were at
war ,with both : the fame paper which con
tains an.account of American vessels sent
by French cruizers into Guadaloupe or
Port Republican ; in all probability/dates
also as mapy more sent by Englifli frigates
into Halifax or Janjaicu ; f 0 that the in
jury received from either nation is nearly
the fame, and the friendship of both ap
pears perfedly equal. To attach th<f Uni
ted States to their cause, and to render
them, one and indivisible, with each of these
nations, has been the effort of their rel'pec
tive partizans and agents; and to fleer a j
middle way between the violence <f the
contending parties', to oppose the unjufl ag- I
grcflions of one nation without talcing pre !
in the cdntefl of th# (ither—to prefeve neu
trality with energy, without endangering j
the independence < f the country, required |
tjie exercise of the mofl splendid talents, I
and has inconteftibly eltablithed the wil'dom I
of the American Executive. At this day
it remains an unqueflionable truth, that in
the United States, a party have laboured
with unceasing induflry to throw us into
the fraternal embrace of the French nation,
that another party were endeavouring to
hurry us into the deftruttive fangs of the
Briufh lif>n---while the real friends of the
country were driving to evade a-danger,, on
either fide equally deftr u£live, a tlx! to prei'erve
Unimpaired the liberty, and with it, flie glo
ry and happiness of the Western world.
BL-flea as we are with a government of
our choice, fecuriog to every individual an
equal portion of social advantages, where no
citizen can possess any exclusive privileges,
and where oppre/fion can be known only by
name, the spirit ot party (hould cease, and
every individual (hould endeavour to contri
bute all in his power to the general good.
Equally indifferent to all foreign nations,
we ought to remember, that.'we are not to
jexpett, and that we certainly shall not re
ceive from them any'favours, and that dif

THE JEFERSONIAD
A', via
THE hand nf t fat overruling providence,
(the rxiftence ef which Mr Jefferfon's
works have impli /ly denied) has been re
peatedly and %nliy manifefted in the pub
lic affairs of iit United States. It has
been visible not 11 our astonishing furcefs in
arms alone , f n<t in our unexampled prospe
rity only, but n the frequent and timely dis
covery of plot, conspiracies, chara&ers and
designs, whicl threatened our national ex
istence. We need not recal to rccolleftion,
for they can nevet bq forgotten, the de
letion of Arnold and the defeat of his trea
chery ; thc| dorftiption and deteflion of
Randolph by Fauibet's intercepted letters,
and the hifppy difeovery of Mr. Senator
Blount's confpiracy. But the
most important and far the most interesting
developement. was this famous letter, re
ported to be from Mr. Jelferfon to Mazzei
—it is a document worth millions to the U
rrited'Stafes, if they have goo J sense and fpi
i|it enough to make a proper application of
it. It unbofam? Ihe grcateft hypocrite in the
Un,ted States. It draws~fbr'th from the mist
which faflion artfully raifts about itfelf,
the leader, the foul, the primum ntlile of
that faction. Future ages will value it as
a rich legacy, as a compleat clue to the la
byrinth of all the factions of our age, and will
consign its author, be he whom he may, to
an nfamy as eternal as vice—as everlaS
ing is tre,fen. It ought to be repea*d, as
long as oorgovernment is worthy ofprefer
vatiin, and every true friend ta the confti
tuticn ought to read it with reiterated and
iucreaftd pleaiureand interest.
. J- 1 16 m y 'mention to consider its authen
ticity— ?.nd then to refublilh it with re
marks illuftratVve, explanatory and liberal.
The famous fetter made its Jirst appear
ance in the *Gizette Nationel, ,u U- Mo
nitcur Universal" at Pa,it, on the 25th
January 179^— Every man will at once
observe that is wis not only the mod pro
per but the mot natural place for Mr.
Jefferfon's correfpondeoce to appear in, he
having been as tje have shewn, an enthu-
I'a flic admirer o' France and of Frenchmen,
and Frenchmen of course taking a deep in
terest in every thing relating to or coming
from Mr. Jrfferijn.—-It was introduced in
the I arts paper in the following manner j
Letter from Mr. JeJfers.cn, late mini
ster of tie United States in France, ar.dSe
cretary of the dejtrtmer.f of fcreign affairs,
to a citizen of Virginia,". It then pro
ceeds, '« Tits letter (literally tranlbted) is ,
addressed ta Mr. Mazzje autbnr tjf tic re
searches historical and political vpon the
United States cj America living in Tul
cany."
I now pledge myfrlf to prove that the
evidence tt" at Mr, JefFerlVn really wrote
this letter, is as strong as that of the au
then tic (ty of Icripture, or of any faft of
Which we irk riot eye or ear wisneires."
In the firft plact, negatively—no ether
man could have written it It mi the
produ<aiou of >.» man well acquainted with
parties i i America, br-aufe, although it is
fa!f-, it has drawn tN; line precifcly as the
Federal party were by Jacobin s
here. No man would derive any poflibl e
advantage by the forgery—His political
enemies dare,aot fabricate it, because they
mull have known that both JefFerfon and
Mazzei would contradid it and it would
have raised him in public estimation as be
ing the fubjeft of such a calumny. His
fiends would not forge if mod certainly
without his consent—Secondly, the Paris
papers then under restraint would not have
ventured to publish a falftiood againll their
best friend in America. The Diredtnry
would not bane permitteJ it. They would
not fufFer Mr. Jeffei son, to be exposed by
publilhing certain sentiments under his
name urilefs thoy knew them to be bit,
Thirdly, Mr. Mazzei was his intimate poli
tical friend and correspondent ; he had re
lidcd in Virginia many years and is said to
have owned, or to have given the name of
" MqutiieUo" to Mr, Jcflerfon's feat in.
Virginia. Mr. Mazzei was really the au
thor of the Re It" arches mentioned in the
introduction.Tim work is now in this
country.—lt therefore appears that such a
letter might J frave been written, and Mazzei
would certainly have denied it if it was not ;
authentic.
Fourthly.—h was very natural thai Mr.
JefFerfon fhouicl writefuch'aletter. It will
be remembered that this letter was written
in 1796, when he wa« a Candidate for the
Presidency. The objeft and fcopa of it is
to represent Mr. Jeferfon as at the head of
a Jlrong party in the United States, the moil
numerous and the mod powerful though
then dormant; a party that was about to a
wake from its (lumbers, burst the " li lipu
han ties" of government and imitate the
Fren*|j example of embarking again on the
44 tcmpeftiibuj fca of liberty 1
It was intended as a hint that the aid and
influence of, France was desirable, and it is
accordingly interlarded with the cant phra
seology of the ingraitude and injujice of A
"it ica towards France : That this was the
design of the letter may be inferred from
the effefts, for France did direflly and open
ly advocate, the ele£tion of JcfTerfon they
retailed Adet at the MOMENT when the
tleftion was to take place, and Adet in his
public addrefsexprefsly dates that the elec
tion of JefFerfon can alone heal the breach.
Jtffcrfon did not however intend to have it
publiflieel. He transmitted it to his bosom
friend Mazzei, in trull that he would dif
creetly coniunicatt it Jo the ©irefiory, but
it was the ordtr of the day at that time, j
that Jirfmilics (hk'd (fewj) secrets an-! the I
; • v '
almighty, ever merciful and kind to our
Country, inclined the hearts of the Direst
ory tu this extraordinaiy breach of confi
dence.
I hus almost by a miracle, we are in pof
feflion of the views and wicked designs of a
most abominaltl£fa£ion. I.aJUy, This let
ter was charged upon Mr. Jifferfon in 1797,
in language the 1 moll plain and with remarks
the moji criminating. It was viewed by all
men of all parties as the most imprudent and
by all koncjl men, as the most scandalous de
claration of political sentiments ever exhibi
ted to the world, it was justly esteemed so
infamous and so derogatory to the. dignity
of Mr. Jefferfon's character, that aftmplefiib
7/cJental on his part would have refuted it.
A declaration from Matzei would have ief
cued Mr. Jeff:rfon from disgrace—but three
years h.ive elapsed, and neither of them have
undertaken to deny thesharge, or to corrtft
any misrepresentations refpefting it. This
in a court of law would amount to full proof,
and if the culprit at the bar of the public,
shall like Mr. JefTerfon, chiife to (land mute,
we may fairly levive the common law doc
trine, and fubjeft him to the " peine forte et
dure" of public contempt. I have been thus
mir.ute on this fubjeft of authenticity, not
btcaufe I thought that any clouds or dark
ness relied upon it, but because some Jaco
bin writers relying on the indolence of the
Federalists and the brevity of their memories,
have had the intolerable impudence of late
to dispute the credibility of the charge, and
because I would wish, that a document so
valuable as this should go to the publics with
all the weight which its importance demands.
Let us now advert to the > " • -
LETTER. .
_" Our political slate harh changed prodi
giously since you left us. In place of that
nolle love of liberty and of a Republican Govern
ment which carried us triumphantly through
the dangers of war, an anglo-monarchico
ariftocratio party has arisen."
Was there my fellow-citizens any thing
ever deviled by man, so faTe and unfound
ed ? Whore are the monarchical and arifto
'cratical party ? What are the meafuresjthey
have pursued ? That sentiment might be
with truth and juftiee.paraphrafed to the
confufion of Mr. Jefferfan, " In place bf
that noble lot* of true liberty, genuine Re
ligion, and real Republican Government, a
Gallican, revolutionary, atheistical, and dif
organi2ing party has arisen." Mr. JefTer
fon goes on ;
" The avovvui object of- this party is to
impose upon .us xhe substance. as they have
long since given us the form of the British
gov* rnment." 1 ■
I am extremejy at a loss which we'ought
mod to admire, the folly or the falfhood of
this sentence. It is falfe, because Mr. Jef
ferfon a d all the world knows th<t no
party in the United States avows such fenti
men!6. It is falfe, because every school
boy will fee that there is oo resemblance bet
ween (heforms ef the British and American
constitutions except the di ifion of power,
whicK is more nectflary in Republics than in
any gov«rr.ment. as Mr J fferfon has fatis
faflory proved in his book. It is foolifh,
because every grof, he it as weak as it is
wicked ; it recoils upon the head of its fa
bricator. It is foolifh, bec?ufe it reprtfents
the monarchical party, if there was one, as
iifling a part too filly to render them objects
of dread, because in such a government as
ours, to avow the objed of obtaining a change
in the nature of the government, would be
the sure means of defeating it. No, Cef .r,
Cromwell and Mr. J efferfoil's friend Buon
nparte, can teach us a readier way to become
kings, emperors and consuls ; by condemn
ing monaichy. by avowing a friendfhip for
the people. Mr. Jefferfon bimfelf knows
this beaten road ; Tie in treading in the fleps
of hia illujlrious predecessors.; fie does not
! avow that he wants either the form or sub-
Jlancc of monarchy, but be avows a zeal for
| the people, which he may net feel, and whiih
will probably procure him both, unless the
I peewit rouse from their firfl (lumbers. It
j was foolifll also in Mr. Jeffcrfdn to utter
: this sentiment, because it proves his utter
hatred and abhorrence of the constitution of,
the United Sta<es. The Jacobins in all their
ra ß e *gainft the administration, and the
me'afiires of thi United States, have always
proftjjeda sacred veneration for the constitu
tion. They have even had the audacity to
call themfelvei ccnjlitulional fedefalifts ; but '
thinking men, have always known that they
wer# in/incert.
| They remerp.be reJ their inveterate
j opposition to its adoption, and they know
that sucb men eonfider a constitution as a
wisp of straw which they can twist and
model to their purposes. What have avail
ed all the French confiitutior.s in the hands
cf Jacobins? They have been as Jefferson
'fays, that ours shall be,, '« Lilliputian lies,"
j in the hands of these unprincipled political
" Sampsons." Hitherto the knowledge of
th s trait of Jacobins has been confined to
reflecting and conliderate nunds, and many
vicious and abanJoned diforganizers have
cloaked their views under an refpeft
for the conftitution.-—Jefferson has difTolved
the charm.— r l o Alazzii, iiis bosom friend,
he confides the important feCTet, that he
detests the American constitution. He
searches all nature add all human ait to ab
tain a strong exprcflioii of his abhorrence.
To a Frenchman, he well knew, nothing
would convey it with so much force, as a
comparison with any thing British ; He
therefore feleds the Ihi.isb constitution and
fooliflily as well as'falfely, declares, that ours
is the same if) point of form. What does
Mr. Jefferson test in the American con
stitution ? It is too del'potic ? TJiathewill i
npt pretend—ls it too free? That he will j
not clnife to ac, I y j)i tell you, my fc-l- !
low-citizens, the of the hatred of;
Jeferson, Burr, and other-patriots to the'!
American coDftituticri. It is secure agiunltj
cabal '; tfiy esaJiot warm thfcmfefvc*
as much power as tltey like ; it partakes tdo
much of the character ot theAmencan peo
ple ; it is not revolutionary. Its features
are tltofe of calir, tt-irtperate liberty; It
brid!«s liclntioufnrfj : It rtftiainsintiigue!
It invites and it dciervet the approbation of
the people, and of course, they cannot
br.ak iti '• Li'.lcputisn ti and rife upon
it-, ruins to coy.tulcr, Imperial or royal
power.
I have been more particular on this arti
cle bee a life certain, writers have- strangely
< btaititd adnnlfion into the Cemmeriiid
Gaztttci, who. advocate the very fentmients
lor which Mr. Jcfi 'rsan has been justly
censured, and f this too under the m:<.le of
Federalism. Of fiich F a raliili
beware !
I ffoll conclude the, present number by a
naraphrafe of fentirnent of this Jac
obin chieftain ; " The crossed ebjeft of the
Jacobins in thiscou»try is to prute£l liber
ty and support she constitution ; their real
aim, is to introduce Gallic licentioufnef*
and overturn and deflroy the empire of the
constitution and the laws."—l fball pursue
this fubjedl in my next.

SALEM, August 8.
The brig Sukey, Captain Stewart, froni
Leghorn, which he left on the 18 th of June.
The prevailing accounts at Leghorn refpefl
ing the operations of the holtile armies, seem
to be quite irreconcilable with those we
have by -he way of Lond n. Captain Stew
art favsj that about the.4th- to the gth of
June great ahrm subsisted in Florence and
at Leghorn, in consequenCe of Buonaparte'*
entering Milan, andhfs' progress toward*
Florence ; and that the people of Florence
rose in arms, detei mined to defend their
country to the last ; and. the fame was to
have been done at Leghorn on the 14th;
but on that day letters and difpatcbe9 were
received from Florence announcing that the
enemy were beaten in all dire&ions, and
driven back again over the Pa, with consi
derable loss, and that every thing wis then
fafe. Till Captain Stewart, failed, there
were no new alarms, from any recent iuc
cefs of the French, and bufin?fs went on in
its usual course, and nreat rejoicings were
had on account-os the fliccefiei of the Auf.
trians Thty tiiuft therefore have bfen in
the highest degree surprised to have received,
in the m dft of their security, the. account
of Buonaparte'* vi&ory of the 18th, if true.
But if Mclas was ignotant of the fore* and
movement of the French, bo wonder-that
the p.eple should be fo,-r >--
Exh a3 of a Utter to a gentleman in ihit
ti<wn dated
" Leghorn. Juce 13.
" Since the capture of Genoa. Buona
parte with 30 or 40 000 men has made an
entry into Italy, which so much increased
the fears of the people of this country, that
an entire flop was put to txiilincfs, as they
were fearful of his arrival here. However,
yefter ;ay and this day brings us the intelli
gence of his army being defeated ; two Ge
nerals, Serrurierand Lake, with 6oco men,
prisoners ; manykilltd, and the reft fied
toward* Switzerland. The people of Tuf
cany and the north of Italy have risen ea
mafle, that now we have nothing to fear
from that quarter.
" No less than 1800 inhabitants died in
Genoa dtirir.g the siege, for want of pro
v'fions.
" I have ju ft fcen a letter from Bordeaux
of May 4, which fays the commifliuners
were fettling every thing to their entire fa
tisfaflion, and were to return to America
the firft of this month, and that a (hip had
failed from thence to the Jfle of France."
Captain FittypU.ce, who arrived at Mar
blehead on Tueiday lafl in 44. days from
Lifhon, has handed us the following, for
publication : " At my departure the fate of
Genoa was not known ; Buonaparte had ,
been journeying towards Italy, but it was
reported that 'he was on his way back to
P.iri;. No late accounts from'our £nyoys,
Rut it was generally believed at Lisbon, that
the affairs between the United States' ai.'d i
France were accommodated.
" liy a packet arrived at Lisbon, in 8 days
from Fjlmouth, advices were received that
Admiral Popham had returned from St. Pe
tersburg, and could not gain an audience
with the Emperor. The vefieV.that bro't
Admiral Popham confirms the accaunts of
