THE HAND-BILLS.
Duane pretends to disown the Hand-
Bills, which have been circulating anions
his party, within a few days part, and which
far the fake of expoling them to the derision
of the public, were publilhed in the Phila
delphia Gazette. He fays i,t is a pitiful Fe
deral trick, and that neither Israel, n»r K>r
had any thing to do with the writing of
them. /
It ij worthy of remark that the ftriftures
in the Aurora upon this fubjeft, are headed
by no less.than four different notices to the
united Republicans, to convene in several
plares, for as many different purposes.
There is the committee of Concentration
the committee en Important Business—the
committee of Selection, and the committee
for promoting the RepuMi.cin Lterest,
It is very well known that the whole
.squad has of late been completely disorgani
zed ; they are striving hard to bring about
a coalition between the rival candidates for
the Sheriff's Office and Member of Gongiefs
for the county. For the latter it is
understood there are four candidates, three
Jacobins and one Federalist. No wonder
that the Jacobins, have need of frequent
meetings, when the day of ele£tion approach
es so faft, and they have not yet agreed up
on their candidates.
Duane undertakes to aft the mediator on
th'efe occasions— for fays he, gentlemen,
there is no caule of difference between you ;
your pretensions to office are perfe&ly rec.on
cileaWe with rach other—you can't both get
in, 'tis true, at once, and therefore it is ne
ver worth while for you both to run, and
" Mr. James Ker, vjbo is well known to be
a \man of integrity," has authorized me to
fay that He despairs of getting in, and there
fore he won't try.
[The following we copy from the " Au
rtra" of Saturday the 13th of September i

second page, the four last lines.
EXTRACT.
"It is proper, I think, that the fub
jeft (hould be well difcufled, that we
may find out whether CHRIST is a
MONARCHIST, a REPUBLICAN, a
JACOBIN, or WHAT ! !
[lt would be insulting the reader to make
any comment on the above. It comes from
x the fuppopters of Mr. Jefferson, who
think it of no confcquence whether there are
Twenty God's or NO GOD—worthy sup
porters "of a worthy candidate.J ,
Wejuwlerftand, from the best luthorit
that there is a letter in town from a gentle
man Vi North-Cirolina, whicl: dates as a
fadt, " that in cotifequence of the recent in
furredlion of the blacks in Virginia and
South-Carolina, great numbers of families
are removing from his neighbourhood, under
the mod serious alarm and appreheufion of
limilar horrors being perpetrated among them
by the Negroes, to those which have already
taken place in the neighbouring Hates."
When we refledl upon the diftrefling oc
currences, referred to in the preceding para
graph, and contemplate the consequences to
which these Negro infurrejStfons may, and
most probaoly will lead ; being no less than
the utter extirpation of the white inhabit
ants, either by the cutting of the throats ps
every man, woman and -chiSt, or by com
pelling fuih as ipay*fcap#B<pii, te flight ;
■we cannot look at the pidwj-e without ex
periencing emotions-- of horror and dismay.
At the lame time that we flu ink with terror
from the prospect of carnage and desolation
which seems to stare our foiithern brethren
in the face, it is some aggravation to our
feelings that lo littls regard has been paid,
during a period of so many years, to tha
warning voice of the northern ft.net, which
in language that could not be misunderstood,
has without ceasing adtnor.iftied the white
inhabitants of the souther* Hates, that their
conduft would eventually draw down def
trudlion upon their own headfc—that their
eajjernel's and anxiety to propagate the doc
trines of liberty and equality which their
pradtice and principles so flagrantly belied,
w-is whetting the knife that would surely
and infallibly sooner or later, cut their own
tbroay.
It seems to be pretty well ascertained, that
the infurredYion at Richmond was excited l
by inflammatory hand-bills, ifiuing from the
pen of Callender, the noted convift now in
Jail there, and that two Frenchmen have
adted firff rate parts in the plot ; and yet
Duane ij»>'a late paper tries hard to
fix the blame of it upon the Federal Gov
ernment, because a renewal of commercial
intercourse has been eftabliflied with the is
land of St. Domingo ! Who does not know
that until this intercourse was renewed, the
Jacobins were everlastingly calling repreacb
against the government for excluding oivf
commerce from that Island ? The convent
tion with the " Black Emperor of St. Dci
niingo" as Duane calls ToulTaint, was there
fore brought about by the clamours and
conspiracies of the French party here ; the
fame that is now railing the negro infur
redfions in the southern dates. Among o- j
ther happy effects anticipated by Duane from
the Negro infurre&ioNS, is this ; that the !
Eastern Delegation to Congrels will be bro't
'* openly to avow their delire to retard the
wh te population cf the southern Dates, or
consent to measures calculated ta -promote
white population. M By retarding the white
population of the fouthcru states, Duane
means that Irith, Fr.'nc.h. Scotch hiul Dutch- I
men, anil all foreigners,'except Africans, are j
excluded, by law from the southern states.
By what law ? Why; by the law of the sou
thern (taxes thenSl'elves. What controul
then has th; Eallern delegation over the
white population of the South ? As to con-
Tenting to matures calculated to
white populjthrt, I dare lay that the E.if
tern delegation h.ive no fort of oljjedion ;
but the ways and jrieans ought surely to be
pointed out by the southern df legation-—..
The mod that could be effpedted from the
Haftern members would be to abidft by and
stand to any contradt that might be entered
into on this fubjett.

lasting and infinitely monotonous icribbler

Mr- Waynf,
AT theprefent momentous epoch,
it is th» duty of every good man, whether
Jew or Christian. to a(k himfelf the grand
question (fated in your paper: " Shall I
continue in allegiance to Cod and a
religious President ; or impiously de
clare for Jefferson and no Gob "
I am a Republican, and heretofore have
voted with that party ; and intended after
considering the patriotism, former services,
and abilities of Thomas Jefferson to
have given him my vote and interest, if an
ele&ioo to>>k place in this State : The ma
ny reports refpe&ing his religious principles,
1 coufidered ai circulated for party purpo
ses, 'till I read the Rkv. Mr. Abkrcrom- ;
Bis.'s address (occasioned by the abuse he
received for doing his duty, as a Christian Mi
nister) and the address entitled, " Serious
Considerations," &c> said to be written
by a refpedtable Clergyman of New York ;
both these good men have my sincere thanks
for preventing roe from giving my vote or
interest to favor the eleAion, of a man of
no religion ; who thinks it immaterial whe
ther there are twenty Gods, or one
God, or no God. A man of such senti
ments, and the party who supports him ;
all the religious and orderly members of the
community oujjht to withdraw their confi
dence from ; for those who boast of repub
licanism, without religion, without consci
ence, will like Tallyrand yield tp^ntereft.
The people of the United States are. in
general, christians : Jssus Christ is the
founder that J sus, who was born ina Sta
ble, is their boast ; this admits of no doubt,
and that he pasTed many years in obfeurity
before he preached and confi med his doc
trines with prodigies ; giving health to the
diseased, light to the blind, and life to the
dead : his holy religion which spread be
yond the bounds of the Roman Empire and
which brought life and immortality to light;
is now in America insulted by the very
mem ion of an infidel name as a candidate
for the high office of President of the Uni
ted Stales. In former times Philofophe s
like the cortefpondent of Black Bannaleer ,
the almanac maker opposed arguments to
our religion ; Emperors like the defpois of
France opposed torments, and libertines the
emnipotent attraftives of sensuality : yet it
broke through the violence of opposition,
it multiplied by disputes and encreafcd by
perfection.
It was with great p.teafurp I heard that
two Clergymen not of tie Episcocal Cburet
spoke on Sunday the 14th liillant, and thr
veneraole Doctor F.wing, Prcvoft of the
University of on Sunday the
2 * II to their Congregations in this city j of the ;
| chnge'r I promoting to public office, awow
jed Infels ; and the application wis imme
diaty made. Tt is the wtihof cyery good
marimbat the Clergy who have uot yet coire
fbrwiilj m ay in time be awakened t') a lenle
otdut and »a their part like men, and
like Chfhan Miniders, and no longer Ibep
wlien thtenemy is at hand.
I am.iformed that fume of the Miniders
of the Gfpel of Jesus Christ, are atraid of
losing tli r popularity, and of offending the
I vile par 0 f their Congregations,, if they
{ come toward at this time ; other* think it
tm£rotr to introduce Politics in the Pulpit,
j wlircould bellow loudly at the commence
j ! £nt us, and during the Revolutionary
1 Var ; tf it v»a= then proper, when our In
dependence was ' n dif>ger, is it not now pro
per, when our Religion is (o much threaten
ed ? I therefore call'up&n every Christian
'Minister to come forward immediately ; a
IsleUy of a few weeks may he dangerous, and
faience at this jiiwfture Criminal : for
11kffERson is an Infidel, and no person
j ins yet had the boldness to declare to the

TO THE PUBLIC
Since writing my ob/ervations con
tained in a letter to the editor of the

in my paper No 4 —* and the address to

but c<rtified the truth. The said publica

Mefljeurs Fkeneau W Paine,
A LETTER copied from the Aurora,
having beer/ inserted in your Gazette of
Saturday Jaft, signed John Adams, and
purporting from its contents to have been
written to Mr. Tench Coxb, of Philadel
phia, in the year 1792, wherein are contain
ed fame comments on my appointment as
miniflt'r plenipotentiary to the court of
Great-Britain ; I think it right at prelent
only to Hate, that this letter either is a for
gery, calculated for electioneering purposes,
or, if genuine, must have been founded on a
nv.fappveher.fion of ptrfons. This la ft fug
geflion I infur from fafts alluded to in the
letter, and from the subsequent nomination
of my brother, General Pinckney, to two
highly confidential offices by its supposed
1 writer.
To my fellow-citizens of South Carolina,
who have so often honored me by testimo
nies of their confidence, 1 should deem it
unnecefTary to urge a syllable of junification
from such charges as* are implicated in this
produftion, however authenticated ; but as
it appears, from the time of its pifblication,
to be calculated tor more extenfivec influ
ence, I have deemed it of importance pub.
licly to state what is above, that those per
sons who may be unacquainted with the
characters concerned, may be guarded against
giving credit, the authenticity or
justice of this performance, until the event
Gf aninveftigation, which I will immediately

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, August 21:
Aoother revolution has taken place in
Switzerland. The legislative and executive
authorities have been changed ; a new le
gifiatixe council of fortythrpe members has
been appointed, 3tid a new executive coun
cil of seven. The grand council submitted
to these alterations without <- murmur ; but
they met violent oppoiition in tha Senate.
A commission was appointed to report, up
on them ; but the executive government,
displeased at this delay, summoned the Pre
sident to convoke the Senate, in order to
decide immediately upon the proposition
i submitted to them. The Senaie parted to
| the oider of the day. Twenty-one mem
bers however, retired, and fignified their
acceptance of the alterations.—The remain
der, though not fufficient numbers to deli
berate, declared that they rejefted them,
and separated. The proposed alterations
were then carried into execution without
any eppofition on the part of the people.
NO INFIDEL.
The following Articles of the Treaty of
Commerce between Great Britain and Den
mark, relate 10 the present fubjeft supposed
to be in dispute:
Art 3. The undersigned Sovereigns en
gage mutally for themselves, their heirs and
successors not to furnifh theit refpeflive En
emies if they (hall be the aggieffors, with
any afiiftance in war, such as Soldiers, Arms,
Cannons. Ships or other Articles necessary
to the carrying on the war. If the fubje'fts
of either of the undersigned Severeigns, shall
aft in contravent on with t' e present Article,
the King, whose fubjefts so fhal'. aft (hall
be bound to proceed against them with the
greatest severity and tteat them as seditious
persons and perfont guilty of an enfraftion
of the Alliance.
Art. 20. And in order to prevent the
freedom of Navigation, and the free passage
of either Ally and hisfubjefts from becom
ing prejudicial to the other in cafe of war
011 the part of oni of the undersigned Sov
ereigns against any other Power by sea or
land ; acd in order to prevent any goods or
merchandizes, the property of the Enemy,
from being fraudulently concealed under
pretence of Alliance ;and finally, in order
to prevent all fraud and to remove all suspi
cion it is thought fit that the Ships. Mer
chandize, and SubjeAa belonging to he o
ther Confederates, shall be accompanied by
paflports and certificates in the following

It is hardly neceflary toobferve, that the
requisition of these nafsports and certificates
includes a right to ieatch for them, if such
right were not fully recognized to be part
of the General Law of Nations.
VIENNA, z5.
Every thing announces the restoration of
harmony between our Cabinet and that of
Petersburg. A corps of 60,000 Rufiians
are certainly on thsir march under thdcom
mand of Generals Soltikoff and Rebbender.
Paul hascofented that 40,000 recruits from
tm.provinces in Poland foall be incotporaced
with the Austrian troops even should peace
be concluded.
August 3.
The Reports with refpeft to Peace seem
to be more confident since the arrival of a
courier from London, who brings, it is said,
on the part of his Court, piofeffions and as
surances favourable 10 a general Negocia
tion.
The Queen of Naples is expefted in the
beginning of this month. Her Majesty will
proceed immediately on her arrival to Carls

Duke of Tufcany.'the Archduke Palatine,

NEW-YORK> September 29.
Lift Saturday arrived the (hip Maria, Capt.
Henry, in 31 days from London, by wh>ch te
gular files of papers to August 21, are rectived
at this office. 3y these papers we learn with
refpeft to our million to France, nothing but
vague and contrariiflory reports. Some Paris
Journals represent the Negociation as suspend

trail «e give to day. Others aliening that e
very thing <§ prucetding in a fair train. That
our Commissioners are treated with marked re
fpeft ; and that an accommodation of differ
ences is likely to be effedled. To solve the myf,
tery we must refer our readers to the President's
speech next December.
The English papers take it for granted, tkat
France and Aultria have concluded no Peace.
Every thing confirms us in this belief. The
conditions are not yet officially announced.
This fdbje<2 indeed occupies and imerefts all the
continental powers, anfl a general Congress is
a measure that mult soon take place.
Meantime England united in fentimeHt, and
vigorous in council, mediates nothing hut war.
Her ministers seem determined to continue the
contest with encreafed enttrprife and ardour.—
Several formidable expeditions have failed, one
®t which is certainly destined for Egypt,and the
afiaflinatien of Kleber, which seems probable,
gives the promiie of a fpcedy and fortunate is

wards which they have directed another
