SIX months have elapsed, since the pre sent Editor of th s Gazette, became its sole proprietor, by purchase, from Mr. jno. W. Fenno. He therefore deems it proper, at this period, to Hate feme particulars relative to it, at, and sinCe the time when it became his eflablifliment. The Gazette of the United States, had from its commencement, been condu&rd, at different periods, ty two gentlemen, of acknowledged talents and refpedlability, hence it merited and obtained countenance from a very numerous and icfpeftable class of the community. It was, therefore, reasonably concluded ; -that on its becoming the pro perty of another, w|io from several years abfenc- from his native city, was recognized only by private friends, that a proportion of those who had previoiirty honored it by their support, weuld withdraw their nar.i»s.— This was partially the cafe ; —but so far from realizing the fears entertained on this paint,. not one fourth of the number contem plated, have rellnquilhea. Th.s. a lone was a favourable omen, but it is infinitely more gratifying to obferv#, that, the numbers ad ded to hu fubfcriptK.n lift, have exceeded lift calculations tioo-fold. In the Advertising department, many favours are aclttiowedgcd, 4)ut as on this particular, refls the ability to meet large, pecuniary, weekly difbuifenients, it is found r quifite to solicit a more liberal fup pntt. This paper, exclusive of the number cir culated ib this City, is read in every tdwn, of any Importance, in the United States, and in the advertising line, will be found highly beneficial to the Mercantile part of the Community. It will be deemed fuperfluous, at this time, to enter into a detail of the political principles of the Editor, —the motives which a&uite hmi, and hie general plan of editing They are now universally known, and it is highly pleasing to find, that they are gene rally approved of, by a relpe£table portion of the community, 'Who have fanftioned, that approbation with their names and purfts. It may be observed by fiime homed, wor thy men, that the style of the Gazette is foitietimes violent, and that private per- foils, are at those times attacked.—To the charge of violence he fibjefts, that of warmth is cheei fully admited -and he will here obferve,»"that advocating truth, and the deateft intereOs of his country, he feels a zeal, which he thinks, and they on reflexion must admit, is laudable. Those who objett to his giving full scope to his feelings on this fßbjeft, will do well to consider, that he has to contend with an unprincipled, daring, and aspiring ta&ion ; who threaten eveiy thing virtuous, with total subversion, —whQi'e only arguments are falfehood ar.d calumny. Private charafters are held fscred, gener ally speaking, but When turbulent aliens and naturalized citizens, become bav'ers at Town Meetings, and write Libel after Libel on "the firft characters in our country ; —When they fan&ion with their detested names, the molt glaring falfchoods and the vileit detrac tion, amid such an uproar, silence would be criminal. Such trsn and those onlv has the Editor dragged before the American peo ple ;he has opposed them, and will conti nue to eppofe them, and from the ftrongefl ties of attachment to America, he will un ceafmgly combat with all the means in his power, the infiduous and inveterate fees to this country whether foreign or domestic, under whatever fpeciotis garb they may pleatc to afiumc. Lancastf.is, November 20. To the Editor of the Gazette of the United SIH, j • I have observed that you have published my hrft letter to you, on the fubjed of the pitTrnt diipute in tlie AfTcmbly. Indulge n.e if you pleas.* in a few oblervations, and then I lhall have done with the luoje^t. 1 he spirit ot Jacobinifln rages with inex*. hauilible fury through our unhappy ftate— >icre is its central point; and here i's nu merous branches meet with united force and energy error is the ford upon which it eeds—but intentional wrong is a powerful •tnxithii y ; the fir ft entraps the deluJtd mob —the latter is the ground work of needy but cunning hypocrite 4,; A flop mull be put to itsprogrefa ; or else our State, per haps our Country may fall a viaim to its fury. Recoiled* Sir, its hiltory in Eng land ; the Hoi.fe of Lords made a druggie to check its career, and maintain the Con stitution ; and the Hoelfe of Lords was voted by the Cj 111 mops a useless and lexpenfive branch of the Legislature—the vote was named into full operation ; this is an in ftru&ive, and momentous lesson for the peo ple of America ; for men of property who have every thing to lose by a revolution, and the Senate in particular. But I will Sir again attempt by plain and honelt argument to open the eyes of my blinded countrymen. We are told by these daring Jacobins, that the Senate would rob us of our Right 1 j-°_ an eleOion, by refuting to concur in a 1 joint vote ; this vote we are told is the only legal one. When the people believe they have been cheated of their rights, by one branch of the Lt giflaturCi and that branch the Aristocratic ojic toe—it is an easy tmi fit ion for them to believe, that this brsnch is use less, tyrannic and expensive—so deplorable an event is not an impossible, or even an improbable ®ne. If it occurs, it will reduce our Legislature to one house, and that house be Governed by men who have thus infla med the public mind ; the greatest poflible excess of Jacobinifin may then reafonakly be expefted. I have in a former letter observed to you Sir, that two branches in the Legislature were thought neceflary to check the hafly and factious proceedings, which would pro bably result from only one house—is this mutual controul is believed eflential on triffling fubj-£ls ; if in the parting a bill to build a bridge, open a road, or grant relief to a petitioner, a check is deemed r.ecefT.ry | for the security of our liberty and property ; Ihonld it not, in the all important, and i very serious political question of choosing I EledWs for a Pr-fident and Vice Prefidert ol the Union, be thought indispensably ne ceflary ? Are the great national confequcn ces arising from this elecTicn, securely lodg; ed in the hands of one house of the Legisla ture, while we are so tender of our rights and privileges 011 the local and inferar Considerations of opening a canal ; dividing a comity, or fijein k the feat of Government ? 1 his bold Inr id on our freedom now at tempted by the House of Representative l Ihould (walfo* up in the contemplation of it eveiy lesser grievance ; it is {hiking at the rcot of our government ; at the principles upon which it Hands ; and it Ihould be met with firnmefs and oppof-d with tl"- coinage , which accompanies a struggle for expiring | liberty. The lower Houf; accuses the Senate with withholding from the people their rfght to lel.ftiou by not concurring 111 tutirvnode ; ' connot the Senate with equal jullice r-crim-1 inate upon the Representatives for not con- | curring .vith them ? it 11 by xuell grounded j charges like these, that the-jt-ople arc deceiv- 1 fd into rebellion—into treaiun—lur-k to the lower house ; for it needs a vigilant eye ; it is a wolf in sheep* clothing. A CITIZEN. Par amoun of a Jbare Ms. Wayne, General Hamilton lias written a book, the objedt ot which is, to deprive Mt. Adams of the Pre fide 11 ts chair* 1 have long enter tained the highest opinio* jpf Mr. Hamilton's talents and patriotism ; but in thi« instance, am inclined to believe, he has overshot his mark, ihe undertaking discovers a degree ot vanity, and the performance too much personal teeling, to persuade any one, that the design is (Vilely public good. We have great rrafon to conclude, that it would give general fatisfaftion to the real triends ot our conftitation and government, if all the federal electors would vote steadilv tor Adams and Pinckncy ; as in that cafe, it is believed, we would have two honest men to direst the affairs of the Union—Both good r.hriftians, and I was going to fay there fore, found fede .-.lifts ; one of them at leaf!, a military charadler, in cafe l'uch talents (hould Uc found neceflaiy. BOILEAU's ARITHMETIC. In debate on the bill as amended by the Senate, the Honourable Gentleman thus logically argued, " for by this proposition" fays he, the propolition of ] the Senate, " there is intended to be a ■ distribution of 7 votes on each fide, so . that the actual vote of Penafylvania the second in the Union would be only one, while Delaware, the smallest State, i would have three ! !". Wonderful dif- , Co very, sagacious Legislator ; J'men and : j eight make one ! ! 1 / ) j Pray Mr. Boileau, when his excellen lencyhad 3,500 votes, and James Rofs 1 3000 what was the " afhial votedo inform us, thou sage arithmetician, thou j Coder among the Jacobins. ( States. AN AMERICAN. Private letters frotfi Nempfhfre, i'taic, that " it is ascertained.almost to a certainty that the election of General L. R. Ivlorru, at the iecbnd trial is fore." The anguish of the jacobins at the present hour of their bitter disappoint ment, is almost indescribable. Their aukward efforts to conceal the greatnefg of their political misery, and their lying statements, refpedting the ' imaginary strength of their cause, equally betray the declining state of the party. Every Jacobinical movement is now like the spasmodic twitchings of a convulsed wretch in his last agonies. Europeans must be excessively diverted at the circumstance in the history of our Cis-Atlantic Gentlemen, which could give occasion for the following earnest and imploring request, from the Managers of the Theatre in the Capital of the United States. In every play bill, now iflued, Mefirs. Wignell £3* Reinagle refpe&fully " request Gentlemen not to smoke any fegars within the walls of the Theatre." One of the Emprefles of RuJJin t in a Gothic afiembly room, order-* ed a paper to be affixed, in which, it was hoped, that '■ no Lady would get drunk j -with Brandy, after 11 o'clock." O" Several valuable cbmmunicatioris we are compelled to postpone. To-Morrow's Mail, will probably fur nifli us with the result of the elc&ion in Rhode-Island. The poor Jaco's may prepare for mourning—'twill convey me lancholy tidings to them. ' [The following rem irks, en t!ie letter of Thomas Cooper, ark copied from the New York Gaaette. The writer of this extraordinary letter if an Englishman who *b->£it leven years finer ; tmigrst'd from Great Britain in tlifp uli. • \ malcontent with the government of his J nativ- country, he had Icirclly arrived in tlie United iitatts vrhen he joined the. party in i eppufitijorj ta the G vernmtnt of his adapted count, y , and he has recently made hinifelf conlpioUouj by a libel on the Prelidejit, of wbicb he was converted and for which (as we learn from hitftfelf) he h.s fafflred the pnnilliment of fine a d i.'npnfonment. Thus ntui'tid, ijt a matter which iramed lately irlites to the perlon who presides at the !r:*d of our g.wei ncneot, one it wtiic<i Mr. Coopr nas no perftr.ir) WrtccVli what ev.-r, I* comes forward to aft; from a Citi zen, whom he conf.ders as the cl.it I of one ot the tvrp poluVal par.ieS cf ourcoufv try, information upon which he avovjs the intention of inflituting a criminal proiiieu tion agamfi that Citizen. The true charaffrr of tkis matchltfs at tempt speaks for itfrlf* As it regards the spirit and natives of the writer, it shall pass without a remark. But there is one point of view in which it claims the feriotis attention of all candid men. It difdofes an important fad which will serve as a key to the ranaorous, mean and despicable accufitions inceflantly p ured out against the Citizen to whom the letter is addrefied. Mr. Cooper who is known to be in the confidential intimacy of the Anti-Fedeial leaders of Pei tifylvania infoims us in plain terms, that Mr. H.miltm is regarded as the bead of the Federal party ; ;hat his energy and talents have retulend iim * conspicuous object of praise and blame yand ta this capa city of head of the federal party, he-threatens to retaliate Upon hitn, (ot the punishment which he has fufFered under a law- pafitd through the influence oftfwt nirty ; a law in which it is certain that Mr. Hamilton had no direst ami very poilible that he had no ijidireft agency. ■"V* This is an epitome of tlw Anti-Federal creed and tesnper with refjiefl to Mr. Hsm iltfln. As the supposed efficient head of the Fed eral pßrtf ; as the man " whose energy and talents" are deemed a principle obstacle to the fuccefsof the opposite party, he is doom ed to ruin and disgrace at all events and by all the means -which ca?i be employed with f ifety; in shameless defiance of truth, can dor and decency. The zeal with which some Anti-Federal writers in newfpaprrs and in pamphlets have rfpoufed tbe Cause of Mr. Adam* agatrfl Mr- Hamilton is an additonai 'elucidation , of the disposition of the party. When they view Mr. Adams individually, there are no terms of reprobation too severe for him. Controlled with Mr. Hamilton he becomes an angel while the latter is a fiend. Why this, hut because Mr. Adams is regarded as a less formidable opponent tlwn Mr. Ham-' ilton ? The Federal cause is-certainly much in debted to thofc Fedevalifts Who for years part have flily lleonded, and wh<i now optiily, , *nitv with the Anti-FecleraMs in subverting | the charadler of Mr. Hamilton. Surely it j was a common concern to keep down thii ! aspiring man ?

The place receives a gloomy light through an aperture at the end, aboat four feet from the ground secured with iron bars, to one end of which the had fattened the miserable remains of an old white hankerchief, and in this p ifition endeavoured to strangle herfelf. From the situation, (he had it evidently in her power to relieve herfelf, while lenfe or ftfength remained ; but so great were her resolution and despair, that through this te dious process of horrible torture, Ihe never shrunk from her purpolt - , for, on difcoveijt, Ihe seemed quite dead. The keepei initnedi ately disengaged her from the handkerchief, and leated her an a bench in the cell, with her back ft,pported againtt the wall, and in this deplorable situation flie was exhibited to all the people of the place, Mrhom curiosity drew to the scene. She appeared to le about 3o years of age, neatly wade and hand some. She had neither (hoes nor (lockings.— Her tatterred dress bespoke the extrcme cf poverty, and her bosom being uncovered, the bloody circle round her neck (hewed the great violence which (he had exercifcd against her life. But the fairnefs of her lkin, and the delicacy of her limbs,. so flrongly~con trafted with her dress, bespoke her the wretch ed remnant of something that had (ten bet ter days, and poffefled those comforts of which Hot a wregk remained behind. This impression produced its effeft. The servants of tbe place feenaed to feel an interest in her fate, that would do credit to many who move in spheres whsre we nitght more na turally look fur fifnfibility. A lurgeon was inflintly sent tor, 3nd every other affillance and attention afforded. The return of life began in a little while to ftitw itfelf in vio lent I'pafms and trembling. The surgeon then came arid, breathed a vein in her temple, from which (he bled profufely. The effeel of this oj-ieration was riftonifliing. In a t>w minutes, not only life, but intelleft, had completely resumed their feat, and /lie was able to tell her flory calmly, collectedly, and altnnfl without faultering. She ftatcd her felf, a widow, her hufbaud having died about ten years ago, leaving her unprovided for, with one child now living. Th ic (hortly after (Ik formed a connexion with Mr. H . . aysungnian, now the nrfl clerk at a barker's, by whom fhr had several chil dren. ail now dt ad. At length) however, cold indilTerence came, and he broke off all intimacy with her, continwing, notwith (landing, for some time to aAVd Ixra lcnn T ty support, but even of tins he Coon gre\V while her necefllties every hour be came more pressing. Under the severe prefu re of hunger and nakedness, (he went the night before to his door Ui solicit a few halfpence.
