M. M'CONNEtL, CBukue strecti No, 143. We regret the Letter from Lancas ter, signed " a Citizen,'' came too late: for insertion this day. Nothing but the turpitude ef their de signs, is more confpicuoifs among the Jacebins than their industrious endea vburs to deceive; although, from the folly of their plans, they have been foiled in a thousand attempts, they are zealous ly. pursuing a' thousand more, equally weak. Their ill fucrefs, instead of having taught them prudence, has made them more bold. Frequent detection, instead of inducing them to use more cunning, has caused them to aft, as tho' none were necelfary. And from a con fta'it disregard of all laws, they have at length'haWtuated themselves to a total ■violation of all moral obligations. This is evinced in their recent at tempt to palm upon the world, as the production of the fpir'ited and witty Portupine, a stupid Jacobinical Pam phlet, which they call the Rush Light No. 6, which is undoubtedly written by some American-Unitcd-Iriih scrib bler. Every person of the least judgment, who reads one page of this stupid and vi cious pamphlet, will be convinced, from internal evidence only, that it never came from the head or the heart of William Cobbett. The public are allured that it is a vile forgery, and (notwithstanding the re peated aflertions of the Republican Bookseller, his having received it from England) that it is altogether Penn/yiva man. Matthew Ditto knows the writer ; James C—y, the printer ; and Mrs. S—, in south Third l'lreet, the person who Hitched them, and sept them to the Re publican Bookstore. Upon the bed authority we slate that .the Secretary of State has not yet re ceived any intimation ot the conclusion of a treaty between the United states a«d France. There are 15 candidates for the pod of chaplain to the House of Representa tives of the United States. The Electors in Maryland will be, it is expected, equally divided. Tie gentlemen appointed, by the Legisla ture of MaffacbuiVtU, to choose Eletlort of Prrefident and Vice Prtfidelit are all true Bederal Republicans and will vote Unani mously for Adams apd
