ONE of the people from whom the Treaty of
Amity, Commerce and Navigation between his Bri
tannic Majesty and the United States, has been already
improperly withheld, having had a fight of it through
the patriotic interfcrer.ee of a Senator, and the guardi
an of all our rights, the press of our dearly beloved
B. F. Bache, tho' at a distance can't keep his hands off
that fellow John Jay. —I am sorry that 1 was not at
Philadelphia to join in the pleasure of burning him in
• Effigy with my enlightened countrymen, who have seen
this d <1 treaty and know all about it. W-hy John,
you certainly were asleep when you made it, you have
\ given away the dearest privileges of your dear coun
try, when the English would have given every thing
up to you if you had been bold to a£k it: For with all
their large fleets and big armies, tliey were afraid of
us, and a good reafoa they had, dkl you but fee how
we raised the militia last tall—You certainly mittook
our situation Mr. Plenipo, we did nat fend,.you to
Jingiana to recognize the obligation and payment of
our jufl British ereditors, as contemplated by
the definitive treaty of peace between that country and
us.— We sent you there to get money from those lads,
lor our merchants and others who have fuftaimed lofTes
during the course of the last war, by reason of illegal
captures, and I don't know how the D—l you came,
to introduce the complaints of his Majelty's fubjefts
about debts to a considerable amount, which were bona
Jide contracted before the peace, and still remaining
due to them from the citizens of this country, unless
you did it to prefeive the the old fyltem of reciprocity
in treaties. And sow friend John, I have heard some
of our people find fault with your treaty for want of j
reciprocity, but I differ from thern in this particular,
tor altho it is apprenended that the payment of boua
\fiete debts contracted before the peace, may bring in
the important state of Delaware to pay up arrearages
of quit rent due to the proprietors, and the Virginians
to pay for the clothes they used to wear, I am furethe
claims of our merchants will bring all back again.—
Why 1 remember altho 1 lived in a remote part of the
country, to have heard of those great lo£Te«, and cer
tainly our merchants mult have lojt three times as much
as the British creditors, for I have heard four times as
much noise about it.—There in one thing true, and
jive the D—l his due, we were in a bad way when we
lent you to England John, the British had been hardy
enough to interfere with us in carrying on an contra
band trade with their open enemies, and hadjnfulted
the importance of the republican Bag by taking veflel
and ail into New-Providence. This however was
not much, we might have gone over in canoes, and
brought those Illanders to terms, but some of our folks
had kicked up a bobbery about whilkey, thatfeemed a
little unpromising to the general government at that
time. —But with all this, Mr. Jay, you are to blame,
in not demanding an exclusive right to the trade of
the British Weft-India Ifiands, because altho the Bri
tish have been at some e.tpence about them, they lay
nearer to us. I would have had it at least, " That the
United State* consent that it shall and may be lawful
during the time herein after limited, for the fubjeifts of
iiis Britannic Majesty to carry to any of their own
Weit-lndia lflands in their own vessels not being above
70 tuns bnrthen, any goods or merchandize being of
the growth of the mother country, which it is or may
he lawful to carry to the said lflands from the said
United States in their vessels, and that the said British
vessels shall be fufajedl there to no other or higher ton
nage duties or charges than shall be payable by Ame
rican vessels in the laid ports." This is the way to
pen the article, and you put your foot in it when you
penned it the other way. —Altho you have secured a
firm, invioiabie and univerlal peace, aud true and fin
ccre friendlhip between his Britannic Majesty, his
heirs and fucceflors, and the United States of America,
and between the refpeif ive countries, cities and towns,
and people of every degree j and altho you have pro
cured the British' government to pledge themselves to
our merchants for indemnification of losses occasioned
by illegal captures and condemnation in the late war,
and. to make compleat engagements to relinquish the
northern posts you have loft the Well-Indies. As to
what is said about beting prohibited from exporting
Molasses, Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa or Cotton, from the
United States, I don't care a farthmg about it, for if
you have giveH up the command of the British Weft-
India lflands, these things must go along with it.
T,
and Navigation,
JAMES MUIR
m
Here we.dont pretend to make M :lafles, Sugar, or
to raise Coffee, Ci>coa or Cotton, for exportation, of
tiie tirit four articles we have none, (an humble at
tempt to make Sugar excepted) and that of the last,
I iUrnt Informed, we don't raise enough to darn our
flocking!, aud that of a very bad quality.—l had like
to forget one circumflani.e that might pOssibly happen,
the French may rec'aim their Welt-India trade before
tnis article expires, by its own limitation, and either
tl.rough brotherly love to us, or in mere malice to the
Britilh, might offer to give us an equal advantage in
the trade, they have had fd many hard knocks about
the acceptance of which, (if any body thinks they
would make the effer) this article would fecin to forc
clofr for a time. I would submit te my fellow-citizens,
whether pofiihlc and rt-mote advantages should out
weigh our foiid and immediate and whtther
we Should barter th« last for the firft. By the treaty
his Majesty is to withdraw all his troops and garrisons
from ports and places within the boundary line afljgned
by the treaty of peace to the United States, before the
lit day of June 1796, in lieu of what ? A promise to
do that ju ft ice to britifii creditors which we have hi
therto withheld. By this We procure an extent of ter
ritory in peace, which witl give us an afcendericy over
both the ttrength and trade of the Indians. A circum
stance of the firft importance to this country in cafe of
a continental war, which is the only one we are able to
carry on with effect, or that the intercft of this coun
try could involve us in.
I would have my fellow-citizens to view the appre
ciation of the back lands belonging to government,
corvfequtnt upon the delivery of the polls, and that we
lay a tide the heavy opposition we met with from the
Indians on that frontier in the course of our conttft
with Great Britain, and which otherwise would avail
us upon the lite occafian. I woujd have my fellow
citizens to cast theif eyes to a descent on that country
by the French, which time may bring about, aDd which
might involve us ill Tome disagreeable negociations
with our dear brethren that might tendto dislraternize
us, 11 our people that burnt the Effigy of Mr. Jay,
would but let the treaty be confirmed, we fnould expe
rience those permanent advantages before one cafe
would occur under the itth article, to which they
might apply their metaphysical touchstone. The ceflion
of territory by the definitive treaty of peace to the
United States was a matter of some surprize at that
dav, but the British have agreed not only to give up
their gar.-ifons within it, but to do juflic- to our mer
chants for losses in the late war, and to let us pa tially
into their Weft-Inflia trade. I alk, could we co better
on our own bottom, or have we better expe&ations
from any othei nation in Europe ? We had experienc
ed fame of the effrdls'of the want of this treaty with
Britain, and if we liked them so well, I am fnrprized at
Mr. Jay's mifTiort, a circumstance of very general ap
probation. However Mr. Jay, lam not done with
hold Op yotsr hand, about the tnannerof appoint
ing cotnmiflionefs td adjust the several claims contem
plated in the treat? ; you have left the affair entirely
to chance, why the Biitifiv hiv'e just as good a chance
to get the odd commiiTioner as we hay, which is ano

Dauphin County, July 10, 1795.
To whom it mojl concerns.
GREAT variety of opinions abeut religion,
mode of worship, and adminiitration of ordinances,
have long obtained in the world ; and it is proba
ble they will obtain for some conliderablc time yet
to ctfme : that is, to the end, or nearly to the end,
of the ftxth millenial age of the world. For then
cometh the fullnefs or time, when all Jhall Jpeak
the fame thing, and be perfedly joined together in the
fame mind, and in the Jame judgment.
As the bulinels has been iiitherto managed, these
different opinions have not done much for the benefit
of man, nor the praise of his wifdorm And yet,
tlie natural and proper use to be made of them, is
to .learn from them reciprocally, patiencc, forbear
ance, and all thofc friendly and liberal sentiments,
which dignify man, and promote his-happiuefs.
Under the pretence of healing all these maladies,
several attempts have been made to ridicule religion,
so, as to leave it without advocates or profelfors.
And, lately, attempts have been made to banish it,
and all worship of the deity, out of the wotld : but
this promises not well, it has the appearance of
those remedies, that are worse than the disease a
gaintl which they are prescribed.
If a religion founded on mercy, and in llrong,
emphatic terms, enjoining upon all its prefeflors
charity and peace and brothetly love—if such a re
ligion should f il in persuading men to live in amity
with men, it is not probable that such a great and
happy effect can be produced by such bamihment.
On the contrary, when every man becomes a law
tohimfelf; and every man's mind the standard of
iiis faith and rule of pr aft ice ; much i* it to be fear
ed that anarchy will ensue ; that powei will prevail
againtl jultice ; felf-intereft againlt honesty & tnith;
and that innocence, pursued and perfecnted, will
no where find a place of fafety or of fheker.
If, while under the terror of mod tremendous
threatening*, and the encouragement of moil en
dearing promiles, reason can be led captive bv the
paffio.n, how (hall it poflibly be able to maintain
its poll, when those bairieis shall be broker, down
and removed ? Folly may promise and vice allure 5
but virtue and truth make a very different'report;
and their report mult be, in the final issue, elta
blifhcd. '
For preventing that coldness, which is too often
unhappily found among profeflbrs of different de
nominations ; and tholV contentions which have
peltered the world and irritated minds, that should
ever glow with mercy and benevolence; fyrely,
surely some better method than either of the a -
bove, might be adopted.
. The following hints may poflibly be improved to
good advantage.
Let all clergymen of every donomination, pro
felling chrillianity, meet annually at some appoint
ed plate within their (late, and there pats together
a few days in preaching and praying ; and is a tree
and friendly manner converting (but not disputing)
about religion, and the molt probable methods of
promoting it and good morals. From these meet
ings, deputies 10 be uliufcu 10 meet deputies of
other states, at appointed times throughout the
Union.
Alfp, let ministers, of different denominations,
preach, occasionally, in each others parilhes ; and
communicate together freely and withont distinc
tion. In the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper it
appears fliameful, (perhaps it is worse) to Itand
upon a difference of profefGon so as not to join with
any decent and regular people, in that great solem
nity, in .which all chriliians should unite, without
refpeft to profeffions, that are not fundamentally
and efTentially erroneous.
The promotion of chriftiaa charity and brothers
ly love, all denominations fhotild always have in
in view. It is a point, which they fliould all labor,
might and main, to eftablilh. From such establish
ment more happiness would ikiw than words can
express or the heart conceive.
You that have' he*ds to digest, and minds wil
ling to adopt such a scheme, think of these hints,
and itnpiave them into a practical plan, that chrHti
ans of all denominations may live m harmony and
peaces be courteous, having companion one of an
other; and love as brethren.

Monday la ft arrived the ship George Washington
of this port, commanded by Capt. Jonathan Doii
nifon, alter a pafiage #>f fix months and three days
from Canton, riehly laden-with the productions and
manufactures of the Eallern world. C?pt. Donni
fon on his homeward hound passage, in lat. 70, E.
long. 20, S. in the night of the 19th of Februaiy,
met with.a severe gale of wind, which lalted 12
hours, during which the rudder broke off near the
rudder port, which threw the (hip on her beam
ends ; her topmalts were carried away, all her fails
(tripped from the nirifU, £cc. and it was nine hours
before (he righted. It took two days to clear the
wreck j when, by the help of two log-chains that
happened to be on board, which were got round
the lower part of the rudder, and other fails being
bent, the (hip bore away for the Isle of France,
where (he arrived the 19th of March, and where
Capt. Donaifon received the moil prompt and rea
dy a ill fiance from that moil friendly nation, the
l'rench, winch enabled him i« 17 days again to
proceed to sea, with a new rucdei, (pars, &c
It is hoped that her cargo has not ft;ffcrcd much
damage, tho* it was so much (hiited on one fide of
the ship, as to give lier about a (tresk lilt, and
obliged Capt. Donfifon to fill 20 hogsheads with
water, and Itow 011 the other (idr, put her near
ly upright. If the cargo should piove clear of da
mage, the impost duties thereon will amount to
100,000 dollais, all to he paid by her owners. It
is worthy ef remark, that Capt. ©onnifon, in a
voyage of 18 months, with 50 men in his crew,
has loft but one ; he was a Portuguese, taken, on
board,at Madeira, and was killed by a fall from the
main yaid.
Capt. Howland, in a fiiip from Baltimore, ar.
rived at the lfle of France in oillrefs, while Capt.

Captain William Page, in the brigantine Hen

By Capt. Page \re learn, that on the 20th and
2 I(l of May another violent commotion took place
in the French National Convention, and which was
not quelled until a large number of the Jacobin
leaders of the riot were facrificed bv the National
Guaids.
ALBANY, July 3.
The 12th article of the treaty with England,
which allows the United States a free intercourse
with their. Weft-India Islands in vefTels of 70 tons or
under, is a privilege which that nation permits to no
other country—even to Portugal, with whom for
many years theyhave been on the molt liberal term*
of commercial friendfhip—tut that we should prt?»
elude ourselves from reftiipping to Europe-the prr
