COMMUNICATION. - Philip Freneau, formerly Editor of the National Gazette of this city, a paper which he rendered, by his firmnefs and impartiality, worthy of better support than it teceived ; upon leaving this city eftablilhed at Monmouth, New-Jersey, a weekly print, under the title of Jersey Chronicle, which preserved much of the spirit of the fir ft paper, tho' published at a distance from the centre of intelli gence. The publication ps this paper, with regret be it mentioned, was discontinued on the 30th of lad month. It is hoped, however, the Republi can cause will not lose its Freneau ; but that the late turn of affairs, so favorable to the interests of Republicanism, will be an induccmeut to him once more to make an exertion of hia literary talents in its {acred cause, by undertaking in one of the cap itals of the United States, a paper calculated to diffufe far and wide the principle* upon which the liberty and prosperity »f the great mjfcfiof the peo ple mult depend. • Some of the last glimmerings in th* Socket- From the JERSEY CHRONICLE. [Late Advices from Philadelphia.3 We hear that the royal English fa&ion at New- York are making preparations to embaik for No va Scotia, handed byjamet Rivington, and the Editor of the Minerva. It was reported a few days ago in New-York, that the towo of Communipaw is thoroughly infa [ vor of the British Treaty, and mean to petition the President Senate and Britilh merchants to carry it into efFect ! ! 1 Lord Grenvillc, the Britiih fecrctary of date has positively declared that hit court will not con sider tb« treaty as fully ratified unless aflented to by a majority of the house of reprefentatiwrs of the United States. it ii rumored that 400 merchants in this city have secretly agreed to raise money by subscription to carry the treaty into execution ! I ! Before the house of reprefentativcs have agreed to appropriate money for the support of the trea ty, the President and Senate have interposed, and appointed commifiioncrs for the purpose of dis charging duties, the due performance of which re quires money—This is paying a properrefpedt to one of the constituted authorities, tidy j but cer tain high nosed persons have long been in the hab it of fctting down the people aad their reprefenta tivesas nothing. The reader will naturally reflect on perusing the foregoing extract from OBe of the lajl numbers of th<- " Jersey Chronicle," that its exit for waDt of support it not so much to be wondered at, a< that it should ever have been brought into existence in the truly Federal Republican State of New-Jcrfey. Without foreign gold, we may venture to predi&, that news-paper* devoted to the cause of anarchy, whose columns are replete with falfehoods, and calumnious representations of the constitution of the United States, and the men who adraraifter it, will not long find support. The American charac ter has been disgraced by such publication*. To support them, is to undermine the fair fabrick of Freedom and Independence ; is political suicide. The following observations from a late New- York paper are in point. From examining the principal news-papers pub lifked in the United States, for more than i years, lam persuaded that these channels of information may be the instruments of great good or extcnfive evil according as they are well or ill conducted.— It is obvious that the falfehoods and calumny pro pagated by means of public papers, have been the direst and principal means of all the civil diflentions which diftraft this country and have threatened it with civil war. This is a well aCeertained fad. And what is Angular, there are many people well affedled to the government, and who reprobate these abusive papers, who still fubferibe to them for the fake of feeing the at>ufe they contain, and thus lend their aid towards convulflng the govern ment which alone protects their lives and property. We want no other proof that our government is on the whole well administered, than this ; that-all public measures, when well explained and underload by the people at large, have given general fatitf*ai,n. Ftrft intprejfions on the public mind have often been unfavorable to administration ; but these im preflions have been given by the opposition, by means of their papers; and in every inltance have proved to be wrong. That is, whenever the pub lic mind has been inflamed to discontent by means ot falfe charges agaiaft the officers of government, or by falfe representations of fa&s; time, further in formation and cool reflexion have invariably allay ed the and defeated the effed of the r . » impressions. T liis is a decisive proof that there must befomething wrong in principle in opposition —Forever to mistake- truth and the public fenti raent, eannot be the effect of -jgnoiTinccor want of information.

The Valedictory Oration was then delivered by David 8. Jonas, of New-York. An address to the Giaduaies by the President, and prayers, finirtied the ceremony of the day.' Nothing; exhibits (he anxious flats of the puhlic mind, during the difcuflians of the quetlions on tlie Treaty, in a stronger light, than the joy exprcffed since the vote of the house it. Every where friends, when they meet, take each other by the hand, and mutually congratulate cach other on the event, as they do on the mod feftive occasions —a thing that fas not been before ebferved since the event of the establishment of the prefcnt Con stitution. Such circumstances depict mod forcibly the sen sibility of the good citizens of America to every thing that can affect their honor. The fear of war oi further bickerings with Great Britain, evidently had its effect in exciting the people to oppose an infraction of tjie Treaty; but in most of the me morials to the House of Reprefentativese, we fee, with great ilrefs laid on the danger and infamy of violating national faith. This unanimous effort of individual citizens tofave our chara&er as a nation, is a circumftancc exceedingly honorable to our conntry. J What, fay men of honour and virtue, beeaufe we have a hard bargain, fhatl we refufe to fulfil the contra£t ? What would the world fay of a mer chant, who was just setting up business, and (hould quibble out of the fit ft bargain he had made, be caule h« did not like it ? The cases are similar—• and we cannot confirnt, for any common facrificc of property, to havtf such a stain fixed on our nati onal eharadler. ' I« is probable after all, that the Treaty, even in points exceptionable, may never produce the ills which some of its Oppofers pri»i&. The oppofers of the present Constitution foretold all imaginary evils would follow its eftablifhmtnt—they paintec tyranby and despotism in a thousand hideous forms springing from that very government which ha made us a profpeious nation. They had thei this—bat flie evils were all imaginary. I is just fo%rirh the Treaty—it will go into operat' on, and leave us free and prosperous. i Th< Paper Mills of Meffri.
