Gazette of the United States. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER, 7. M*. Waim, 11 appears as if the present was to be an age of experiment in the science of government. We had (Irong hopes but a |>ttle while pre vious to the commencement of the 18th cen tury, that the American nation bid fair to set a bright example to the world, of a peo ple being so enlightened and virtuous, as to be able to effobhfli and maintain a republican government, on the pure principles of equal representation. Tit ■ present pofhire of af fairs, is however, very difcou raging, and damps the flattering profpeft. It is believed, that the leaders of the anti federal ids " mediate a change in our govern " ment, and in diflolving the confederacy." One of the bell patriots, and ablest politici ans in Virginia (now no more*) gave it asi his opinion, in a letter of the Bth of Janu ary. '799> " 'hat this was the fyrtein of the " leaders of the /Action, in that itate, or o " therwife they had no fyCetn." The question arises, to what is this owing ? It may be answered generally, in a few woids. It arises principally from tbe pride & ambition of certain demagogues in the date just men tioned, who have acquired a dangerous influ ence over the people ; and to tbe hot bed of sedition in Pennsylvania, compof-d of her adopted tons and drludrd citizens. It does not proceed so much from any clafbingofl focal or commercial intereds, as from habit | and temp."r. Unfoi tuiiau lv for tlie ur.nn, the date we live in, is likjy to aft a cm fpicuous part in the fce.ne, whenever it is attempted. Added to thole ot her own na tural born citizens, bar importation of fam ous spirits, ha: probably been greater than that of all the other dates put together.— This f.ccotlhts for her bad slate »f society. In luch a tlate of things, other enquiries will naturally anfe in the feeling and rrflcft. ing u>in:J ; luch as what are t'i be the coo iTeoueTicej, and is there no remedy ? Are the Hates tor \vh;c 1 the present government is suitable, and to whom it is agreecble, to be deprived of its advantages ? It I was alked why the Democrats would not make good governors, I wou'M anfwfrr ? It is s im possible fn* thoTe li en, n ho didike wholefotne laws and good government, t'j be wife ad minidmtors ; *« i: is for a man why dllb-- lieves in the fcripturrs, to make a good Subordinate te.-.clter of chriflianity. Every j Democrat difl,';-s, and it is not to be ed in tlw naun-e of things that, a man will ; readily approve of a law, that is fuffiriently Orong to curb his own I'centious d'fpof '-tioli. Another t rait of furh a .pian'r chiira etta is, that he is nnd always in favour of novelty and chance. r • , •>- \ ■ r . , I )ie nreTent riots n JilFereut narts of A congeniality of temper ami tlifpofition, 1 J ' ~ . 1 c . , ' coui.try pi v Kn?

The President of the United States, occupies at the city of Walhington, the spacious building erected for the accom modation ot our Chief Magistrate. The legislature of Maryland was to meet at Annapolis on Monday last. Extract of a Letter, -dated Paris, lit TYuftidor, Bth year, from a Conn fellor of State, to his friend in Phila delphia. "" La Fayette, Adet, La Forct, and royfelf, were invited by the American Envoys, on the fourth of July, to ce rebrate the American Anniverfay of Independence with them. I trust we shall ere long be replaced, with regard to the United States, in that friendly ii t nation, from which our pirates in the W eft-Indies, had firrt driven us, and out of which reciprocal wrongs have since kept the two governments." The Elector of Cologne has appoint ed the Archduke Charles to be his heir. The Paris Journals reprcfent the pre parations by Spain as immense.

MUCH SHOR r. La[\ Tuffday wfk a brok? ">ut at Newport H. I. in the liri life of Daniel Du foms, £.tj. late of B-l'tiinorr, the family made their escape with difficulty,—one Ncgroe man was burnt to deuhi brom th: New 1 'ork Dtuff *ldverti[er'. INTERESTING Frtttth Commifftonert ti this Country, It is reported, and we have reason to believe there is good foundation for it, that Mr. Otto, and Mr. De la Fo rest, who were formerly in this country, in the Diplomatic line, are* appointed by the French Government to come oiit to this country as CommillionerS to fet tle the differences existing between the two countries. (The above was handed us yeiterday from a relpectable source it came by the Dispatch from St. Seb ifthns.) from late London Papers. Ihe two French Conimiflaries who were condemned to eight years confine ment in irons, by a council of war, have escaped from the prison of Mem mingeiv along with three French fbtdi crs. They fucceetled in breaking their fetters and the bars of the prison, bv the afiiftance of Englilh files. The Emperor, according to a letter from Stra(burg, has ratified the treaty or fublidies with England, 'with a reser vation of right to conclude peace with France. On Monday fe'nnight, being the hun dred anniversary of the birth of Thomson, fevcral gentlemen met at Endham, the place ot his nativity, for the purpose of Celebrating the memory of their illustri ous countryman. The day was spent with a degree of harmony and social mirth worthy of the occalion, and which, we trust, will ever characterize a meeting inffituted for a purpose f6 laudable. A few days fmce, a Frenchman gain ed, 1 bet of 50 guinaes, by eating at a house in Piccadilly, 22 dozen, or 244 of the Q\tjlert, raw from the (hell, which he !wallowed within an hour, with two bottles of iherry and 3 pounds of white bread !
