Blhn Cox .Sc Sheppard,
H : Gentlemen,
Hsince my last nothing transpired of any
Hfcquence, until yefterd.ay, whenTouf-
Hnr was arrested on his plantation* a
■ miles from this, and embarked for
■nee. His aids-du-camp were arrested
■$ morning, and are now confined on
Hard the admiral’s snip —They will be
■to France in a few days. This step
I General Le Clerc has restored the
■ateft confidence to the people of St.
■mingo, of their future fafety. We
ft daily expefting a reinforcement of
ftps from France, of the arrival of
fttfe, I will give you advice. There
ftvefew Americans arrived here lately,
ftich has caused the article of flour to
ft to 18 dollars; beef 14, pork 23 ;
■fee is from 19 to 21' sols; dry goods
ft scarce, and much wanted. Fine
ftxls, generally, would best foit the
ftrketat present.
■This place, at present, is very flckly,
fti 15 to zo die daily with the fever ;
fte have two, and a few three days ili
ft. It has robbed us of some of our
ftt experienced officers, and a great
ftmher of the French troops have fallen
ftiims to it.

WJatrioti: and Republican Sentiments.
BOn Tuefday the ift of June, Gov.
delivered a fpecch to the Legilla
ft of Maflachufetts, from which the
ftlcnving paragraphs areextrafted.—The
ftra!, candid, enlightened sentiments
■y contain, cannot fail to raise him
fth in the esteem of every true friend to
ftcountry :
■ "The patriotism of the American pco
ft has been manifolded in upholding the
■font system of national government ;
Hd the continuance of our union, is ab
ftjtcly ncccffary to secure refpeft from
ftcr nations, and preserve tranquility
sting ourselves; for unless our views are
ftcumferibed within a narrow circle, we
ftlt perceive, that division would lead
ft to disorder and vveaknefs, and expose
ft to the loss of national importance, and
fthvidual liberty. So long as thefc
fttes are united, they will increase in
ft'ver and profperlty ; but whenever the
■ Cs which cement them are diiTolved,
P e y will probably decay and fall to ruin,
M mutual jealaufses and intestine feuds.
■ “There is no evil to which free go
ftmments are more exposed, than the pre.
■knee of party fpirit.v The extreme
■°knce of this spirit degrades the cha
ftfer of a nation, and vitiates the mo*
fth of the people ; it has proved fatal to
ftnoft every other republic, either by
ftbling a fucccfsful chief to cftahlifa his
ftpite on its ruins, or by weakening its
Bfhty to oppofc foreign invasion ; it
Iftls to pervert the judgment as well as
B ru pt the heart, and render the fubjeft
unsocial and intolerant. Men who
ordinary commerce of life would
|Bain to make use of deception, when
Hated hy the rage of party, will give
to reports, which at least they
IBjhink doubtful; their pretended pa
fth, degenerates into an eagerntfs to
support patty principles; r.nd in order ta
influence opinions, or mcafures, or to reta
liate fuppofcd injuries, they have no fcru.
p!e in violating the plained rules ol decen
cy and justice. Our fcntimcnts on po
litical fubjefts will be different, but this
diversity, if in exprefling it we confine
ourfclves within the limits of truth and
candor, will not he injurious, and if it
produces an honorable emulation to pro
mote the public good, may even be ufe
ful. It is impoflible that all should he of
one opinion, and it is a rcafonable indul
gence to fuffer every man. to enjoy his
own , in many cases however, an open
and fair examination of public mcafures,
is neceflary to enable the people to form
a correct judgment concerning them ; and
if the current opinion is different from
ours, we may endeavour by calm difeufli
on, without artifice or calumny, to cor
rect the supposed error. But the man
who unneceilbrily excites public alarm,
or resentment, is a diiturber of the peace,
and whatever his pretences may be, he is
aduated by improper motives, and has no
regard to the interest of his country.
u We flatter ourfclves that the mild
character of our fellow-citizens, and their
general information, will save us from
thole excesses of party zeal, by which
orhcfr nations have been disgraced ; but
there is fucli a propensity to indulge this
pr.flion and it has so often proved deftruc
tiVc, that good men should fapprefs it in
themfclvcs and difeourage the appearance
of it in others; this duty is peculiarly
incumbent on the public officers of the
state ; for if at any time they should un
fortunately happen to be under its influ
ence, instead of guarding the public inte
reil with flcady patriotism, they might
indiscreetly facrificc it to private attach
ments. A prudent and temperate course
of proceeding on the part of government,
will generally produce moderation and
aequiei'cence in the people; and 1 hope
and trull, that in difeharging the duties
of our refpe-flivc offices, our impartial
condudl w ill prove, that we are the faith
ful agents of the commonwealth, and not
the leaders or inftrumenrs of a party ; and
that we invariably endeavour to premote
the peace and prosperity of our fellcrw
citizens, and not to excite their passions,
or confirm their prejudices.”
