PHILADELPHIA,
Tuesday kvexing, Movimrib .4.
To TFNCH COXE, Esquire.
S I R,
A PERSON who has known yoa almdft
from your cradle, now, from a sense of duty
to the public, fits down to write a sketch of
your political life for twenty-five years path
This is drawn forward in coitfequence of
your letter of the sth.of Oftjber, 1800
Your having there undertaken to inveftijrate
the pretensions of John Adams to the Pre
sidency of the United States, gives fair and
legal ground, (in order that your tellimony
pay have only a weight) for any one
in che fame public maimer to difcul's how far
your pretensions to th"haraaer of a man of
honour, integrity and republicanism are en
titled to credit : to do this is my intention.
I remember you w.-Il in the year 1775, a
violent whig ; in your conversation lbme
t what intolerant, and an officer in our army
(the militia being at that time the army of the
country). About the time the Bmifh and
Hessian troops arrived at New-York. I re
coiled you grew more temperate, and after
a little while began to rail against Indepen
dence. In speaking of Britifli power and
our weakness, your arithmetic soon discover.
Ed to your friends that you were preparing
for either fide. Towards the latter end of
'76, the success of the Britifli army, having
■-i —conquered all New-Jersey from New-York
to (lfCiJed roincL, fate
of our devoted country, and determined you
to make a merit of an early treachery. Ac
cordingly you deserted and joined that army,
in company with Andrew Allen : At this
time you were 24 years of age ; my word
for it you are not a day less than 48 now
I hope, therefore, we (hall hear no apologis
ing for this aft on account of your youth.
Your country, however, afterwards mani
fefted its forgivenefs.; but we who know the
fadt cannot readily forget your fubfequeht
criminality.
The Britifli army in their next campaign
set off upon ail expedition which promised 1
more success in destroying the exigence of ; '
our republic: You embarked and landed with 1
* it *t the Head of Elk, and marched in tri- '
umph over the field of battle at Brandywine 1
(trampling under your feet the blood of your 1
countrymen) to Philadelphia, and entered '
that city at the head of Lord Cornwallis's. 1
dtvifion, amidst the exultihg huzzas for King 3
George—This we fee was in 1777 :_And 1
thus you continued, with the army of your 1
king, until 1778, whe» you saw the cause
of monarchy becoming desperate you once \
more changed your fide—you had now be- ®
come wile enough to find out a new way of
defertingby what is called shrinking, which
you did by letting that army go off and leave
you in Philadelphia. Thrown a trembl-ng
cowarJ on the clemency and meicy of your
injured country, you were then permitted
to remain quietly in this city, where you
lome time afterwards commenced a violent
politician and persecuted with unnecessary
malignity the party to which you are now
attached ; at the orffanizuion of the Fede
• ral Government, you were as your views
then led you to be. a violent Federalill, and
the fir (I who puflied off to New-York in quest
of office ; and notwitliflanding all you fay
of your merits and various appointments,
yoa could not inspire confidence enough in
you, to obtain any except a subordinate em
ployment under Mr. Hamilton, from whence
by the dint ot intrigue, you puflied on to
the climax ot all it was possible you could
ever obtain from men who knew you. It
•was time therefore for another change-
Accordingly in 1796 you began to worlhip
the rising Sun ; it did not appear unlikely
then, but that at the approaching eledlion,
Mr. Jcfferfou would be chofcn President of
the United States. You, after much cal
culation, laid it would be so, and laid your
accounts tor that event, by publifhitlg a
pamphlet upon the demerits of Mr. Adams.
On your plans and fchemei failing, you lay
apparent y (fill, until, as rep< rt fays, your
disagreement with the Secretary of the Trea
sury, with whom you had to do buGneft,
cauled you to be difmifled from office, from
which time you became openly an avowed
Jacobin !
The foregoing is a fair and temperate,
flcetch of your life and condud lince 1775 ;
it con urns the truth, and isgenerally known
in Philadelphia to be so. lam aftuated
by no resentment towards you ;on the
contrary ;t the the harfli tarms of deserter
coward, kc. could be supplied by others,
equally applicable to your cafe, they should
not appear in this paper. I write for the
public only, who ought to know the cha
racter ot a nun w.io becomes a public wlt
nefs and a public acculer at to important a
crilis.
The pamphlet or book I allude to your
late letter—and this narrative of your ad
ventures, mud be viewed as ftreng proofs
of what depraved nan, deflitute of prinsi
ple and cloathed with '.ujblufhing impudence,
can do. Here I hope my Countrymen will
t attentively read and recoiled the fads, that
you, who have been a deserter from the ar
my (»r fay country) of liberty, and joined
•mercenaries tinder a monarch to destroy Re
publicanism, now come forward and dare
in a public Hewfpap :r to call on Federalists
to ask themselves »' whether the honor and
interests of this country have been more
' faithfully nvd zealously manifested by any
man s*nce the battle of Lex*ngton than by
yourself!''—that you have the audacity to
remind the republicans of your fuffrring as
a martyr in the cause of liberty, and to
console them amidst all," that you are yet
firm ! This is not more ludicrous than it
m
is to fee you taking the lead in accufiug
J ohn Adam? of monarchifm, who was at
itoe time yon deserted, (and when your ser
vices were wanted along - with our old fellow
soldiers and comrades, who fought and bled
that winter at the battles of Trenton and
Princeton, and during the whole tim*
yeu were ihoffiing and cutting all those
capers at the fouktrying day of our troubles,
when your country was bleeding at every
pore) found at the pod of danger, riiking
every tiling near and dear to him in defence
of our icpublic.
You appear, (take the Piflure as portray
ed by yourlelf), to have bees one of the di
flinguilhed, firm and parfevering Heroes
that atchieved our Revolution, and eftab.
lifhed our Government, by artfully palling
over without much notice the charges pub
licly exhibited again!) you, and boaftingly
fwelliog out the lift of your appointments.
It is true that the lederalills, sometime after
your crusade against the liberties of your
countty, were more compleatly cheated by
your hypocrisy than the Jacobins were, or
are now ; did enlist you into their service,
and pus you principally on their partizan-
Ikirmifhing. It is a painful truth to ac
knowledge that when politics run high,
there are jobs to be performed that no man
but a new convert, or one wilhing to ob
tain acharader he has no title to, will un
dertake—io far as these were affigued to
[ you, so far their tonduft may be said to be
judicious, and your's very politic, tor in
the end, you procured for ysurfelf through
them the appointment of Representative in
Congress, or rather to that little bit or fug
end of the poor old Congress after it was de
ceased.—The cafe was thus ; when the new
government was about to be organized,
there were a few straggling members of the
old left at New-York, I suppose about a
doten, and our Legislature a few weeks be
fore the former were to meet, thought it
might be well enough to fend a representa
tion to be in waiting to bury the one, and
introduce the otherinto the world with a
decent ceremony : They never made a houl'e
however, and so you never were a member
of Congress or of any other legal body in
America. I recolleft well that when you
were appointed, the office was despised and
went a begging ; yet no sooner was it
known that the choice had fallen on you,
than a prodigious uproar was made, and the
ail very publicly, and I may fay, almost
universally condemned : and to the honor
of Republicatfil'm be it said, that although
liner your Apoftacy you have wormed your
feif by other means into office, as relHefs
unceafiug office hunters generally can do,
yet you never, nocwithftanding you have
made many attempts, were entrusted with
the fufTrages of your countrymen.
For about twelve years part your charac
ter and conduit have been objecls of public
difcuflion, firft by one party afterwards by
the other : in the various aniairadverfions
which I hive seen, I have a long time obser
ved that they have precHrly coincided in de
fining the great motives of your coildyft,
! and that althq they have written, wUat you
term abuse, yet in the opinion of all I ever
conversed with, of whatever party, I have
always beared it agreed that they have both
written the truth. In (hort take all their
publications together, they would form the
best hift'iry that could pofflibly be written of
your life, and prove, if what every body
lays be only somewhat near the truch, that
was monarchy going to be eftaoliflied here,
and you could get promotion undei it, you
would be the firft man in America to chop
about, draw your pen in its defence, and as-
Uft by tha: weapon to proflrate those liber
ties which yon once hoped to have seen
dene by the ford of a monarch !—Nay more,
was the religion of thechurch of Rome to
he eftablilhed, and the embracing that com
munion made a uecefiary qualification to of
fice, you would be seen treading down your
smaller neighbours in order to be foremoft,
gravely to kneel at the alter, swallow the
euchnrift, k then cry Heretic !as you did

BRUSSELS, September 3:
From the banks of the Rhine, we learn,
that the troops cantoned between the Lahn

military operations oh that point, will com

BREST, Aug. 27.
We are placing the fleet on a mod re
fpe&able footing. AH the veflels which arc
in the port are being and they will
be very soon in the road. We have had ad
vice, that the English propose to make them
selves mailers here, and to attack Bred ; birt
but we have made such formidable prepara
j t ions for defence, that if they should be bold
enough to attempt a coup <jic main, we IhalL
give them a very warm reception. Thecal
nons of the batteries are always loaded. The
ceafts are in the best (late of defence ; and if
the enemy Ihculd coin* in, they will not be
able to get out again.
Our veffeis are drawn up in two lines—.
Eight three deckers form a part of the firlt,
and present an impregnable battery. One
thousand pieces of cannon are mounted upon
the points on which the Englilh can make
any attempt.
The Enemy's armament is always in view.
Their objeft is laid to be to facrifice some
ot their veffcls, and to burn or fink OHrs.
However tlfe road of Brest will not be the
road of Aboukir. The entrance is defend
ed by batteries, and veffcls cannot enter more
than two abreast. The brave Bernadotte has
his head quarters at Lenderneau. We are
on tlie bell terms with our friends the Span
iards ; they are much attached to us, and
the chiefs of the two nations sympathise to
gether with a cordiality that does both mucht
credit.

of success highly grateful to the inven

Fails of this conclusive nature /peak more in
favour of a medicine, than columns of pompous

experience for believingthjt a dofeofthefe pills,
taken once every two weeks during the preva.

infallible preventative ; and further, that in the
carli«i~ftages of those diseases, their use will
very generally succeed in restoring health and
frequently in cases eteemed desperate and bey
ond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfeiSly mild
and maybeufed with fafety by perfoasin every
situation and of every age.
They are excellently adapted to carry off fti*
perfluousbile and prevent it» morbid feeretions ;
to restore and amend the appetite ; to produce
a free perfpiraticn and thereby prevent colds
which are <fften of fatal coniequence. A dose
never fails to remove a cold if taken on its firft
appearance. They are celebrated for removing
habitusl coflivenefs, sickness of the ftemach and
severe head-ache, and ought to be taken by al[
