TO THE PUBLIC;
SIX months have elapsed, fioce the pief
ent Editor of this Gazette, became its sole
proprietor, by purchase, from Mr: Jno. W.
Fenno. He therefore deems it proper, at
this period, to ftat* some particulars relative
to it, at, and (ince the time when it became
his eilablilhmeut.
The Gazette of the United States, hr;d
from il,B commencment, been conduced,
at different periods, hy two gentlemen, of
acknowledged talents and refpeftabiliy ; here;
it merited und obtained countenance from a
very numerous and refpe£tabl© class of the
community. It was, therefore, reufonably
concluded, that on its becoming the pro
perty of another, who from several years
absence from his native city, was recognijed
««tly by private friends, that a proportion of
those who had previoully honored it by their
support, would withdraw <heir names.
This was pirtially the cafe ; —but so ttr
from realising the fears eilttrtained on this
point, not ont fourth of t\ie number contem
plated, have relimjui (lied. This alone was
a favourable a***, W« it is infinitely more
gratifying to o'ofervc, that, the numbers ad
ded to his fubicription lift, have exceeded his
calculations twc-fold.
I» the Advei tifing department, many
favours are acknowledged, but as on this
particular, reds the ability to meet large
pecuniary, weekly difburftments, it is found
recjnifite to falicit a more liberal support.
This paper, exclusive of the number cir
culated in this city, is read in every town,
of any Importance, in the United States,
and in the atlvertifmg 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
attuate him, and his general plan of editing.
Thev are now universally known, and it it
highly pleating to find, that they are gene
rally approved of, by a refpeflable portion of
the community, who have fan&ionecl that
appiobation with their names and purses.
It may be observed by some honed, wor
thy men, that the style of the Gazette is
fometimrs violent, and that private per
ons, are at those times attacked—To the
charge of violence he obje&s, that of warmth
is cheerfully arl mi ted he will here
ehferve, that advocating truth, and the
deared interests of his country, he feels a
teal, which V.e thinks, ajid they on refleftion
mud admit, is laudable. Those, who objeft
to his giving full scope to his feelings on
1-bis I'ubjeft, will do well to consider, that
has to contend with 'an unprincipled,
daring, and al pi ring faction ; who threaten
every thmg-virtuous, with total fubverdon,
whofe only arguments are falfehood and
calumny.
Private characters, are held TaCred, pene
rally speaking, but when turbulent aliens
and naturalized citisens, become bawlers at
Town meetings and write libel after libel ®n
the Rift chara£ters iu oyr country ; —When
they fanftion with their detested names the
mod glaring falfehoods and the vilest de
tra&ion, amid such an uproar, silence would
be criminal. Such men and those only has
the Editor dragged before the American peo
ple ; he has opposed them, and will continue
tn oppose them, and from the ftrongcTl ties
of attachment to America, he will uncea
singly combat with all the means in his
power, the insidious and inveterate foes to
this country whether foreign or domestic,
under whet ever specious garb they may
to atTume. Nov- I)

Ihe PretVt obfeivtd to the Con'u:
'th.it it was difficult to procure these medals,

they would fire inte us Not minding this
fbe fired a gun at us. All our hands being
■ at quarters, we engaged her for tour hours,
when we ceased firing, as our hull, fails and

this, the Experiment fired two broad fides
into us. They sent their boat along fide,
when we learned what vessel it was. They
informed us, that we had killed the Boat
swain. Capt. Eve went 011 board the Ex
