NEW-YORK, September 2. On, Saturday afternoon the U. States frigate President, Commodore Troxton, got under weigh and proceeded to the Hook ; to mprrow or next day we understand she will proceed on a cruize. A report is current that a fatal defeafe prevails at Providence. - ?. v ' - •'V i For the Gazette of the Usited States. POLITICAL. Very <early. after the arrival of Citizen G net, the facility with which younj Bache fpoln? and translated the French language, independent' rf his affinity to Mantieur Franklin, recommended him to the notice, and the patronage of that factious Frerch Mn-ixter. He always had the earliest in telligence of any new commotions in the in terior of the French Republic, or of the ex tern J vi&ories of their armies. He was thcearlieft. to catch the watch word of the triumphant faftions at Paris, and topafs it over through his newspaper to the enamour ed paruzuns of tlie Republic, here. Civic feflivals were continually advertised, and all trd; Sgns Culottes were invited to attend the. celebration. The Federal Government, but more especially Prrfident Wf.lh.ngtan, was held up to scorn, and ridicule, Lecaufe resistance wis made to the fitting out cf French privueer* in our ports, and to the fsle of French prizes ; and the testy Geter, in a fit, a paroxifm of passion, puhlilh-d his secret I.tftru£lions, which plainly evinced to the 1 President, and to the American people, that the o')je£t of the French government, in fending 'his Sery m<"teor amon» us, w s no other than to excite as to % war with Great Britain. ThrpUs'l.out the rapid career of the two sucCeeding French ministers, " the Aurora," continued faithful to the republic in every chSnge "of hef mutable condition. The fe deral government and all who had any (hare in'the administration, were themes of daily reproach, misrepresentation and fland r. The form no Irfs than the manner in which tke government was administered were con demned, hecaufe they approached to a re semblance with the British sonftitution, and because the French had adopted, and were then prattifing upon the model, vhich M n sieur Franklin had always recommend d .1' d admired. It is well known that the prelent Conflitution of the State of a. (wliich in good hands, would be th m ft prvfedl system of State government in the V'liori) could never have been ratified, in the life time of Wr. F'anklin. A liogle domocratic representative aOVmbly, was his ds.'ting theory ; in 110 other form, co ild the lappinrfs ot' the people be promoted, Could the true dignity of man's nat ire be difphyed, where the doArine of a thief or •ontroul over his paflions was an ingredient in the constitution. From all the preceeding detail of farts, •Jbine of which are merely historical, I fliall draw this inference—That the ghost of Ben jamin Franklifl still haunts and hovers over the deflinies of the fcder tl government, that lis apparition will never be allayed, so l ing as his countrymen submit to the wretc! Ed degradation of their natures, which results from a practical adoption of so monstrous a ■theory ; and lastly, that the people of this country must make their eleflio*, between lhe alternative of abandoning the haunted ■Ctiftle, commonly called the federal constitu tion, or submit to the impertinent daily vi- Ct» of a troublesome fpeftre, commonly call ed " the Aurora." Having gone through with this prelimi nary narrative, I proceed to the main objeft proposed in the outset, viz : First, to shew •*hit the views, the language, the sentiment. Jind style of the Crown and Ministerial wri ters in England, are precisely the fame, with those of Duane, the present " Aurora" Edi tor, and Mr. Jcfferfon's partizans in this country, so far as refpefts their application to the administration of the federal govern ir.ent under President Adams. By what strange fatality it has happened, I know not, but this is the faft, that the fcicceflor to Benjamin Franklin Bache, as Editor of the Aurora, is a British subject. Yes, Billy Duane, whe was a fort of upper •workman in the 44 Aurora office," at the time Benjamin Franklin Bache died, is a British refugee from Bengali or some other JBritifh pofleflion in the East Indies, were he superintended and puMifhed a newspaper, and whence'he was suddenly compelled "to depart for fear of a prosecution against him for libelling the government. • Thus we fee that his present occupation is no new thing to him—he was a "proficient In the trade when he came here. No won der th.tn, that a* an Englishman, he Ihould t** hostile to Mr. Adam's administration, and that as an Englishman, he should be re ft rred to by King George's and the Mmifle lial hireling writers, as the best authe itv, for any charge against the federal govern*- Mient; upon a queQion of finance too, not f withstanding tSc confeflion, they are compel j led to make, that" the Aurora" isiridaed a jacobin papei. 1 have seen repeated instances of publications in''the \urorA,"by way of extract of a letter from upper or lower Cana da, Quebec, Montreal, Halifax. India and from Old England, complimenting and con gratulating Duane, upon kit! glo ious war fare against the American government; af fnring 'iim that they believed every word in his paper to be true and eacouragir.g him to perfeveie in the laudable work of over turning the Fedtral Government, and Je tting the damn'd Rebels together by the ears. What is the moral of all this ? Why, that, let Duane's principles be what they may, he is an enemy to the Americans ; his style of writing, his language and hts views, are equally well adapted to favour our cause s as his own. Such is she language of all our en»mie», and we fce, that whe.her they are high church Britons or low church, Royal il or Ja obin Englishmen, Frenchmen, or Am«ricans, all, all unite in praise of " the Aurora " Do they praise it for " the abil ity with -which it is conduSed." No ! That they leave to the Editor himfelf. Do they praise it for its pre-eminence as a literary jou nal I No. Look at the lift of authors it recommends to the üblic for their instruc tion in science and morals. D ■ they praise it for its typographical accuracy or elegance No ! For few papers are so inaccurately printed ? For what then is the Aurora worthy of praise ? It is worthy and it re ceives praise from our political enemies a d our commercial enemies, because «f its bold nelis and effronteVy, in substituting afftrtion in the place of faft. For being the organ of a fadtion in this cou' try inimical to the Federal Government ; for reviling every meaiure adapted by the government, cal culated to ptom te the d gnity and indepen dence of the United Statcß. Fordef»mir,g every charaftcr who takes a conspicuous part id public affairs in order to disgust them with the public ferviee; for its en deavours to excite the jt-aloufy of the people against the moral honelly of men. who have the management of public monies ( for un» dervaluing the utility of a navy eftabl'fo ment, and turning to .ridicule the galla t condutl of our naval commanders and sea men For all these things and others of like merit, the Editor of the Aur ra deserves the louHcft praises of the enemies of the A merican nation ; he deserves that his paper should be the official auih rity to which the Britilh ment refer for the proof of fads. He defervss to be toafled at all the Jacobin Republican Festivals throughout this cou try ; an i ladly ht merits the ciafe lefs i. dignation and abhorrence of honed I me" throughout the globe. hat such a ■ewfpaper should be tolerated in th. capital city of the United States is no pr of t me, that our laws are more fav> urable to the liberty i,f the press than those of other nations. Oo the contrary, it Uapro f that our laws are incompetent to restrain or sup press i's daring licentionfnefs ; and any one may venture to prtdifl with the utnioft cer tainty, the speedy downfall »f any govern ment, that tol ra el futh a sapping e> gin within its jurifdittion. It circulates, like the blood in the human body from the heart to the ejtrremities ; it pervade the entire frame, and being frau. ht with pesti lence and vapour cannot fail to disease and eventually to arcomplifh a difTolution of the vital energies of g .veri m"nt. The Coo i pe*'s the the Lloyd s the Ca i Tij'a, the Reynolds's, the Doane't, eed, I nourish and (lipp it from the abundant fir. ams of their fe itious imagination* the contag'ous flood of U&ion, which daily if : fueefrom "the Aur ra." Th fe men are all for-tVner* ; not one of them firll saw the light of Heaven ifnder the American canopy, and scarcely one of them ca ■ be named that hat tioi violated our law& a d incurred some ignominious punifhiiirnt, fnxe thty intruded ihemfelves among ua. In spite of all these fafli, to 'he Oiame of my country be it confefTed, that the newspaper called " the Aurora, ' thus supplied, and thus tompofed enjoys more patronage both at home and abroad, thao any public news paper in America. I fay it will destroy «he Federal Government; it hat a'ready destroy ed much of the confidence and much of the well grounded attachment of the people to the Federal Government, and it feeing to me, (if my view of opinion! from this Itatioa becorrcfl) that the American nation, hat grown already tired of the government ol tl eir choice ; it wills another government, and we all know the modern dodrine that whatever a nation with, it has a right tojto. Well, I will fay, with the man described in forg, who when told the house in which he lived was on fire, exclaimed, 41 I am but a lodger.'' The Federal Constitution it mine in common with those of my country men who took it " for better for worse" ami who would ratherconUnue to be govern ed by it, than incur the rilk of a change.— Still I care not, if the sense of my counny approve, how soon we exchange the Federal Government for a better. But if the people of America, reflefting upon the past anil rapid progress of the United Sate«, to Empire and wealth in the space of leffa than twelve years, should at tribute thi6 prosperity to the benign influ ence of the federal government and to the operation of just, equal and wholesome laws ; recollecting also with how much labor and difficulty the adoption of the federal consti tution was obtained, should dread the re newal of an experiment of which no one can calculate the result ; if such be the train of their thoughts, they will yet adhere to the federal as to the ark of their political salvation. They will consi der, that at the time when a mighty deluge of pol it ical opinion prevailed throughout this continent, it was in this Ark that fame of every kind and every denomination, took refugo, and after being teffed to and fro, full forty days, the fluids subsided, dryland appeared, an£ the various tenants came forth, with perfect fafety—Here they have dwelt, prospered and flourifhcd, beyond the example of any other people. And (hall we resign these advantages, lhall we abaa don onr chicfefl blessing, V for a mtfs of pottage;" at the i.-ftigation of a Britijh refuge ?—Shall we desert our rulers, who nevtr in the word of times, deserted us, be <"aufe a foreign emtflary reviles them in or der ta recommtnj others of his choice ? It cannot be. MUTIUS SCJEVOLA. Gazette Marine Lift 1 , PORT OF PHILADELPHIA. Arrived Days Schr. Hagard, White, N.
