PHILADELPHIA,
THURSDAY EVOKING, OCTOBER 30.
Never was there a greater mistake com
mitted by the Federalilb, than was evinced
at the late Ele&ion in this City* As it ref
pett the member for Congress, it is a lament
able fact, that a great number of men, pro
. fessedly Federal voted for the Democratic
Candidate, and another c'afs, dill more IHI
- not vote at all Such ttmpo
lifing is criminal, more particularly at a time
when ali the energies of the Faction were
exerted. Vv hat has been the confeqnence of
this cowardly conduft Tlie answer will be'
found by oblerving something very like a
French Cociade, already exhibited in the hats
of the exulting Jacobins*
On Monday the acfh In/hot, seven persons
were atttcmpiing 10 crofj the Schuylkill, near
Heading, in a batteau, in order to fee the re
view of the Militia, on the oppolite fide,
they unfortunately over f?t the boat, by
•which accident four persons were drowned,
via. The wife and child of John Fager, a
daughter of Mr. Baum, and a daughjer of
the late Mr. Wolf, deceased.
Lalt evening, between the hours of seven
and eight o'clock, the inhabitants of this
city were alarmed by the cry of FTRE. It
is fa id to have originated in a carp-nter's
°P belonging to Mr. Nathan Smith, on
the east fide of Fifth-flreet, near Yine-ftreet.
Although the citizens turned out and exer
ted themfsves with their usual alacrity, the
lire raged with such violence as entirely to
consume the shop and another wooden
building adjoining it, and to do confidera
blfi damage to the brick dwelling house of
Mr. Snjith, before it could be got under.
Tkt foll&wing anecdote is worthy of no
tce : A relpedlable young couple in the
t unty-ct , New-Jeriey a Mr. —, of ,
an 1 Miss ,of , were engaged to be
mariied on a certain day. The young lady
being entitled to vote at the rleftion, and
both of them being truly federal, the agreed
to postpone their marrage that (he might
give her vote which flie did on Wednrtday
and they were married on Thursday ! I
think, fays the Editor of the New-J sr f ey
Hate the fcderalifm of this couple
cannot be doubted."
DIED]—On Monday morning, at seven
oMotk, Mr. Jojiah Hewes Anthony,
of this city, merchant.
Mr. Watnk,
Unfortunately for the United States, and
to the gre it injury of the American cha
ra&er, uncommon pains is taken, through
the medium of the public prints and other
wise, to make the world believe that the
people of this couutiy, are divided into two
parties, of Monarchies, and Republicans ;
than which, there never was a greater
falehuod endeavoured to he imposed.
A very little reflection will convince any
Mil prejudiced observer, that the true state
of our politics is as follow :
The people who brought about the forma
tion ot the present government, are Federal
Republicans—A party exifls, that origina
ted in a difliketa the confutation and go
vernment and is conapofed o£ men, who
have and may be juflly called Anti.Federal
ists.
It is to be observed, that the most per
nicious consequences will always result to
a country, from the agents of foreign na
tions, being allowed to interfere in its poli
tic!, and affairs of government This has
bren einminently the cafe in the United
States.
Ihe Anti-federalifts have been constant
ly endeavouring, from the commencement
xf the French Revolution, to engage the
warmest pallions of the people of this coun
try, in the affairs of that diilrufted nation;
and the public funftionarics of France were
for a length of -tiiae, adtively employed in
attempting to revolutionize the United
States.
On the other hand the federal interest
fuflained material injury from the Printing
Prrfs of an English adventurer, which was
eftablilhed in city, for feverat years.
This man, from his chara&er, and manner
of opposing the party I am fpeakitig of, and
defending both the government of his own
country and of this, from their aspersions ;
•was a principal cause of an iniprelßon b'ing
made, unfavourable to the adminitfration of
our excellent government. It gave a han
dle to the oppofmon, that was made use of
weflcfl, The conlequences were not fore
feen at an early period, but are to be lamen
ted. This circumstance, together with the
■wicked misrepresentations of a partv that
has become desperate, and the revolutionary
spirit of the times ; produced the change in
the late, and a former eledWon.
That Engliflimen or other foreigners,
who are attached to a different form of go
vernment, should throw their weight into
the scale of the federalifts in preference, is
by no means extraordinary ; but that there
is in the American nation, any thing like
a party, or even an individual of any con
sequence, in favour of a monarchical go
vernment in preference to the present, is
utteily void of any foundaticn in truth.
I will venture to predicf, that if ever
the govsrnment is deftroyei, it will be by
the violent and imprudent condmS of the
party, that has always been hostile to it.
It is in the nature of Jacobinism, in every
part of the world, to pull down and over
turn—the anti-federalifts, part of whom
may be termed Jacobins, or Dematrats cfj
the most violent kind, have usurped the ex- :
elusive title of Republicans, and pretend '
a fupsrior attachment to the eonftitution ; |
that « set of men, who were so ftre
"uoufly opposed to the adoption of the go
vernment, Uaould llb\v - t- if s best friends, is a
thing too absurd, and incredible to be se
riously believed by any person of common
lease !
It appears to me, there is one thing we
arp all deficient in. It would be a great
happineb for America, if her citizens coul l
learn to entertain a just sense, of an indei
pendent national character, A laudable
pride of the kind mentioned, would tend to
unite all real Americans, and weaken, if
not drftroy, foreign attachments.
We ought to consider, Ihtit nations are
void of every thing like real friendship.

He cost i u.*s—" Mr. Blisset's Sheepface
was admirably done ; but this young man is
so careldfs, be prutitutes those abilities of
which nature has been so la villi, and if he
can get his part-i.no matter how—
it's all on* to BlilTet. " You'l exc\ife ire
Sir, if upon this ocCalion I take the liberty
to tell you, that mirth is rather ill-tinted."
lo fay that Mr. B. performed admirably,
and then, that he wai so abominably care
less as to pr«ftitute his abilities, is down
right ; thetaft, however, ig other
wise ; that gentleman has a claim tb the
approbation of your censor generalis, or of
persons poflelfing more taltc and dtfeernment:
—Mr. B. is remarkable for his corrett con
i ception ef chara&ers—he is never at a loss
! tor an aAion or a grimace which the author
of the play could have fancied. Your cor
respondent has ventured before the public
eye in very unseemly garments. His inat
tention to orthography is his leart (though
not little) deft ft. He has praised wheie no
extraordinary merit was -iil'played, and cen
lured where no fault was discoverable. He
lay? to himfelf '■ if it succeeds to the degree
I expeft, it will be easy to circulate the
real name of the author, if it fails I am con
cealed."
Public criticisms may be ufefu!, when
made with impartiality, couched in decent
language and preserving confiftancy : But
" it is mod pittiable" to f-e this vain youth,
like a child, whirl round a breaks
his own head—ls there no allowance to be
made for difference of talents ? Can all be
equally striking ? Mull no diftinftion b:
drawn ? Ought one to be ccnfured merely
for not playing a charafter so well as another
hai played it ? Snppofe that a faarling fel
. low was to complain of Mrs. Merry for not

I well as Mr. , of Thespian memory,
would this be ju tice—although, I know a
lady in Venice would have walked barefoot
to P.delline, for a toush of bit nether lip
this is no disparagement to the talents of
Mrs. Merry—ls this lady homely b cause
that lady is beautiful ? Is not Mr. Cooper
to be admired, (acjmittnij the faft) merry
because Morton or Kemble excelled him in
Hamlet ? Surely no. Sir, I wilh "to rub
this young quat to hi? senses," and not to

VV hat mighty stir it keeps lelow ?
To make a mole-hill all this ltrife ?
It digs, pokes, undermines for life—
How proud a little dirt to spread ;

It blunders into light—and dies."

Ihe Queen answered me in
words:
I thank you Sir, for yottr civitities
to me, and my family ; andamg'.adtofe

The Queen then asked me if I had
provided myfelf with a house. I anfw,er
ed I have agreed for one, Madam, this
mofning : She then made her courtesy,
and I made my reverence, and retired
into the drawing room where the King,
Queen, Princess Royal, and the young

very obligingly. I attended until the
drawing room was over, and then re-
It has been necefiary, in order to

SNUB.
As the court knew very well that the
eyes of all Europe were fixed upon these
audiences, it may be fairly concluded
from them, that it is the intention of
the royal family, and of the ministry, to
treat America, that is the U. States,
and their ministers, npon the footing of
other foreign powers. But our infer
ences can go no farther. We can not
infer from this that they will relax their
navigation aft for us, any more than for
France. We are sure of one thing, that
a navigation aft is in our power, as well
as in theirs, and that ours would be more
hurtful to them, than theirs to us. In
fliort, it is scarcely possible to calculate
to what an height of naval power, a navi-
gation aft would raise the United States
in a very few years.

I was presented to the CJueen, by my
Lord Alefbury, her Lord Chamberlain,
having been attended to his Lordship,
and introduced to him by the master of
the ceremonies, the Queen was attended
by her Ladies, and I made my compli
ment to her Majesty in the following
words :
" MADAM,
Among the many circumflances
which have rendered my mission to his
Majesty dcfireable to me, I have ever
coniidered it as a principal one, that I
would have an opportunity of mak
ing my court to a great Queen, whose
royal virtues and talents have ever been
acknowledged and admired in America,
as well as in all the nations of Europe,
as an example to PrincelTes, and the glo
ry of her lex. Permit me Madam to re
commend to your Majesty's royal good
nels, a riling empire, and an infant vir
gin world—another Europe Madam, is
rising in America. To a phylofophical
mind like your Majesty's, there cannot
be a more pleasing contemplation, than
this profpea of doubling the human spe
cies, and augmenting at the fame tiirie
their prosperity and happinels. It will
in future ages be-the glory of these king
doms to have peopled that country, and
to have sown there those feeds of science,
of liberty, of virtue, and permit me
Madam to add of piety, which alone
constitute the prosperity of nations, and
the happiness of the human race.
" After venturing, upon such high
insinuations to your Majesty, it seems to
be descending too far, to ask as Ido
your Majesty's royal indulgence, to a per
son who is indeed unqualified for courts,
and who owes his elevation to this dif-
With great regard and esteem,
I have the honor to be,
