This question will be completely determined by the arrival at Vienna of the Dispatches from ■ our government,in answer to those by which' I the Emperor has commcnicated to us the j | propositions of Buonaparte ; and every thing concurs to indui c us to presume, that our answer is of a very pacific nature, although Mr. Pitt with his cliara&eriftic judgment, has not fuffered this secret to transpire.

We have it from very good authority, that his. excellency the governor has receiv ed advices by the last pod from the Hon. Rufus King, minister of the United States at the court of London, by which it appears that ill conl'cquence *( a demand of his ex cellency, through Mr. King, from the Bri tish government' under the 7th article of the definitive treaty of peace, ot the public re cords of this fhtle carried off by his Britanic M;ijefty's officers and I'ubjetts during the revolutionary war ; he, Mr. Mr. King, has secured one chell of thafc papers, and was in hopes to obtain the r" .minder, which were supposed to be mingled in two other cherts with tlie public papers of East and Weft Florida. The exertions of the governor to trace the information, so as to enable Mr. King to make the demand, and Mr. King's in defatigable exertions to the objeft lince, will merit the thanks of the widow and the orphan, who in many cases will regain their property from the grasping hand of specula tion. , .

THE GRAND QUESTION STATED. At the present solemn and momentous epoch, the only question to be alked by ev ery American, laying his hand on his heart, js, " (hall I continue in allegiance to GOD— \NI) A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT; Or impiously declare for JEFFERSON—AND NO GOD !!» NEWS ! It will be pleasing to the Politician, to hear, that the (hip Chesapeake, has arrived at New York, in thirty five days from Lon don bringing late and important political itiiormatioD. The sickly season is now nearly elapsed, arid that dreadfu 1 scourge to our city, the Yellow Fever, has not been inflicWd upon us: in the blefling we have enjoyed, the over-ruling hand of a kind Providence is evident j it then becomes a duty, with all those whf> acknowledge the fatt, gratefully 1 to offer thanks, to that Being, whose pro tedling kindness is so visible. While no ticing this fubjeft, it will not be deemed improper to fay lomething refpefting those men, who have been inltrumental, under !the Almighty, in preserving us from sickness and death : the reader will readily peireive I allude to the Board of Health. The Gentlemen who compose that Board, have without fee er reward, nay, to the injury of their private fortunes, faithfully and per feveringly, executed the duties of an office, arduous, disagreeable and unthankful : and the dangers attending it, few men are dis posed to encounter : Tor this they receive the grateful thanks of Individuals,—but thus far that has b»en their only reward : the writer of this article would wish to fee something more adequate to their merit, it would be pleasing to fee the Se'eft and Common Councils of this city, offer on behalf of the inhabitants, that sweet reward, the appro bation and thaivks of their fellow citizens. Mr. Abecrcrombie's ferijioil has perfe&ly unveiled the idol of the Jacobins. Si)me , worthy men, notwithstanding the " damning proofs" long since given of Jefferfon's infi delity, heUtated to believe that even Jacobins would content to the rule of a deistical Pre sident : but the doubts of the molt incredu lous mult be removed since the Jacobins themselves now bear witness against him. Na sooner is the portrait of the infidel, flcetc.hed by the glowing pencil of the cleri- I cal master, exhibited to their view, than, [ with one voice, they exclaim, it is Jeffeq-son jyou lave pourtrayed ! Ye fools! " If the j cap fits hi in" who puts it on ! Some very good folks (of the doubting tribe) alk for fpecific fafts in support of the i charge of infidelity against Mr. Jefferfon. i'Snch fafts are not wanting, but they are ever liable to ,mifconftruftion and mifrepre fcntation. The best poflible evidence of a man's principles, either religious or political, is to be derived from the uniform tenor of Jhe condutt and conver&tion ®f himfelf, of *his confidential friends, and of his party.
