The moll obvious and familiar principles of human a&ion edablifh, that the confederation for money or property, lent or credited, is moder ate or otherwise, according to the opinion of Secu rity or hazard, and that the quantity of eitlver to be obtained, on loan or credit, is in a great degree contra&td or enlarged by the fame rule- Thus should we, in the operations of our trade, pay exorbitant!) syr Ti pretention, which is of little value, or rather which is pernicious, even to the re lations to which its utility is referred. What folly to cherifli it! How much greater the folly ever to think of exercising it. It never can be escercifed hereafter in our country, without great and lading mifchief. Inll«ad of cherishing so odious a pretension, as " our bed our only Weapon of defence," —Wisdom ( admonifhe* us to be eager to cast it from us, as a ; weapon molt dangerous to tke wearer, proscribed | by the laws of nations, by the laws of honor, and j by evety principle of found policy.

I * NEW-YORK, Odober 30. We congratulate our fellew-citizenj on the dis appearance of the fata! ferer which has so lrng af flicted thjs city. It gives us peculiar pleafute to take our returning brethren by the hand, and <0 , fee btifinefs, activity and cheerftllnefs, reviving.— We felicitate oorfelves thai the disease did notge- | nerally aflume that deadly afpeft, which has cha- | , rafterized it in lome other parts of the Uni'ed j States, and that it did not extend its defeating efFects to eVery part of the city. Nearly one half the city has either wholly escaped, or experienced only nere and there a fcuttered cafe. It has also been marked with a lefn degree of contagion, than iji Philadelphia ; the physicians, (whose indefati gable attention to the fiek deiertet our warmed praise) the clergyj and other attendants, having generally escaped. We trull, in a.few days, to fee people from the country visiting the city without apprehension, as they may undoubtedly do it without danger. At Shaftfbnry, in Vermont, a meeting of re ! prefentatives from sundry towns in Bennington county, Timothy Brownfon in the chair, and An v- thony Hafwell, printer, chnfen clerk, voted that " The Treaty is injurious to the iiitereft, and de rogatory to the honour of the United States."—- This is all the work of one restless, troublefornc fellow, who is always insolvent, and who negle£t» his own honfehold to take caie of the United States. No people are such bat} citizens as those who officioufly obtrude thewieives into every kind of bulinefs but their own; On the motion of Hermann, in the Convention of Fiance, for submitting all bills to the Executive Dfre&ory for approbation, before they pafa into laws, and if objedted to, then two thiids of the members df the two legiflattve branches to be ne ceflary to pass them, the Convention exclaimed— " The American Veto 1 >Jo Despot ! No Ame rican Veto 1" This reminds ns of a proposition made in a speech, not moie than 6 months ago, in the fame Conven tion, for indituting a legislature with two branches, at which all the members rose and exclaimed with one voice, " No, No !"—Now two branches are proposed and all France is in favour of the divifiom Such ficklenefs of opinion, such rapid tranfltions from one extreme to another, were never four.d in any other legislative body ; and they indicate a re-* markable in (lability of eharadter, as well as a total want of that pure genuine wisdom, which flows from experience and fixed principles. Experience alone will lead the Convention to truth, and expe rience will probably point out the defe£ts and errors of the Conditution as fad as a future Convention can repair them.

The terrible lire which has lately reduced to afV.es. a part of this capital, is, perhaps, the most difa ft ions of jill those of which it has been so often the prey. It broke out the Bth inft; at 9 o'clock at night, in a ftore-ho'ufe near the canal. A frefh wind which arose unhappily spread the flames, and si om the firft hour of the fire, rendered abortive all attempts to extinguish it.- At midnight it com* municated to some large ftore-houfct of oil, butter and lard : it waa a dreadful fight to fee all those matters running through the streets, like lava, in flames, spreading fire and desolation, and overtak ing the unhappy fugitives endeavouring te escape. This running shine feon arrived at the ftore-houfec oi wood aud coal : it was then that the conflagra tion was at its height s the burning heat of the atmsfphere kindled from afar every thing combufti hle. All the Itore-houfes of rice, barley, tobacco, and above all of coffee, as wheih there had arrived lately a considerable quantity, became a prey to the flames, and extended wider the ravages. The con flagration lalted 36 hours, and did not cease wiiik any thing remained to feed it in the* direflion it took. It is supposed that at lead fwe or fix thorn fand houses were burnt, cxclufive of public edifice* and shops, among the latter of which are fifty fhopt of workers in amber. The loft is eflimated at twelve millions of dollars. PARIS, September 2.

Sept. 4. A letter from an American, inserted in the hul letine at Havre informs us that it is not true as has been announced that the late treaty between Great Britain and the United States has been ratified by the President and Senate. On the contrary the effigy of Mr. Jay the late envoy extraordinary to the eouit of St. James, has been burnt at BoiloN, New York, and Charleston, and all the inhabitants have declared against the trfcaty. The fame letter announces that the inhabitants of Boston have been so difconteuted with repeated borrowings of their property in the fhannel by the English, that they have burned several English veflels in the port of Boston.
