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.

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
