Nor fliould I wonder (fays he) if, in the courfe of a month, it was up to 20 dollars a cord, from the un feeling avarice of certain mono poiizers in this mod nectflary aiticlc of life.

SAVANNAH, November 12. Ihe Jclloxiing rvas pohtdy bonded us by a friend, at St. Ma>y s,Jor fuhhcctu n. November 2 d, 1799. Yefterday an exprefs arrived here in 15 days from the Spanifh ganifon at St. Maik’s, with fit ters Lorn Mr. Ellicott, the Ame rican commiffioner for running the boundary line. Mr. Ellicott writes, that the adventurer gen. I William Auguftus Howies, h d again made his appearance in that quarter, his arrival at the Apalachee is ftaled as follows : A Hritifh floop of war called the Fox, commanded by lieu tenant Wooldridge, of the navy, mourning 16 guns, and near joo men, took 1 owlesand his attend ants on board at Jamaica, and on the 18th of September (aid veftel was wrecked on George s 1 liar d, in the bay of Apalachee, near the mouth of Chatahoochec, the veftel totally loft, hut the crew and paftengeis laved* Mr, i Ellicott about that time was ! coming down the river on bo ud his (chooner, Bowles wrote him | and dt fired an interview, which he h d—it appears that his views ate hoflile, elpecially to Spain; he is oppofed to the runn ng of the line. Bowles went up to the Crtek Nation attended by three aids, one of them an Kng hftiman. one a Scotchman, the other a Frenchman, all captains in the Britifh army. It is re ports d by them that a very large (upply of goods are on the way from Eng and asprefents for the lavages, Bowles declared to Mr. Ellicott, that, fhould he • all in with the Spanifh commif fioner and his attendants, he would make prisoners of them. Mr. Ellicott furmfhed the cap tain and crew of the Fox with a ronfiderable quantity of pro vifijns. It is much to be feared that Bowles will be kind y re ceived by the Indians ; the pre lent moment is favorable for him, the Indians are in great want of goods, many of them are out of temper with the Uni ted States and Spain, add tothefe things that their oifpofition at all limes inclines them to plun der, &c,. 1 hat Bowles will ftnnulate to defperate afts there can be no doubt, as his corifi*- quence and exiftcnce depends thereon, for it can fcarcely be hippo fed, that the United States wi.ll tamely lit (till and allow a « i Britifh etnirr.i y fuch as Bowies I to enter her icrritoiy and dillurb its peace and happmefs. Ii can not now be denied b it that Bowles is fupported by Britain, that common diflurber of the peace of mankind in every quar ter of the globe ; could fbe not be content with what fhe has already done, in being the aftive mover in deluging three fourths of the woildin blood, and fuf fered this quarter to have re mained in peace : but no—our unhappy fiontier fcttlers will have the cruel ravage let loofe on them, while Britain's fleet is robbing and infuUing us on the ocean, whilfl, perhaps, a deeper and more lerious plan is matu ring to deflroy our independ ence. The author of the pre ceding infoimation and remarks is dehrous that they fhould be publilhed, in order that the go vernment and frontier fettlers of Georgia fhould be prepared for the confequences that is to be apprehended. It is with pleafure we announce the fale arrival of major Minor, the Spanifh commiflioner, and all his party in good health, at Punt Peter, at the mou h of the river St. Mary's, on the 13th of lafl month, 1 LOUISVILLE, TUESDAY, November 19, 1799. ——- Chief juflice M'Kean, Governor . elcft. We underftand, that the re turns from the dilFerent counties from the ftatc of Pennfylvania, liave been received at Lancafler; that Mr. Kc fs had a conlidcrable majority in the five counties wt ft of the mountains ; and that the total majority, by which chief juflice M‘Kean is elefted a inounts to leven thoufand four hundred and upwards. James Munroe, it is fuppofed will be the next governor of Virginia. Colonel William Nicholas, bro ther of John Nicholas, of Con grels, is cxpe&ed to be the fe nator for Virginia, in the room’ of the late venerated Mr. Taze- i well. EHzur Goodrich , efq. is elc6fed a member of Congrcfs, for the (fate of Connefficul, in pl.ee of the Lon. john Allen, rehgncd. The Virginia legiflature in the 1 next Idlion will have, behde an , addition of 12 republican mem-: bers more (ban in the lafl, the m -ft relpe6fab!e body of men of talents and genius of any legifla tive body in the union. 1 he alien bill accords very badly with the language of Con grefs in their addrelfes to foreign ers, and other public pieces iil'u ed during tht revolution. At that period, a gtateiul acknow ledgement was expiclled of the fervices rendered to the caufe of America by the republican emu | grants who fleck? d together jdcr the banne sof freedom, ; i{ \ fu’ppoited them with their b O .„J Tl.ev were told that by t bcir exertions, a g eat extenfive r ot . tinent would be wrefied i cm * , ‘torn the power of de'potifm, an J that it would be an afylurn t>> which ihe poor, the perfected and the opp.tlLd might fly f 0 f tefuge. The following was the con cluding paragraph of the mani festo of Congrcfs, in anfwcr to the proclamation of lord Car- Idle and his colleagues; 1 he portals of the temple we have railed to freedom, fha!( then be thrown wide, as an afy lumto mankind. America fliall receive to her bofom, and com fort and cheer the referable and the poor of every nation and of every clime. The enterpnze of extend ng commerce {hall wave her friendly flag over the billows of the nmoteft regions.

They were elevated, liberal and philanthropise, but now every eSTort is made to warp and pre judice the American mind, by a faftion which dreads the enthu- Siafm of L uropean republicans, and fears that thofe who may have fled fiom oppreflion at home, will be ready and willing heie to oppofe all attempts to introduce in America, the coun terpan of a BritiSh government. He e is the reafon why the federaliSls a?e fo zealous in ridi culing philanthrophy, and m inculcating the molt Sordid, nar row contracted and illiberal pre judices. Curled be that patri otism which can cxift without a love of liberty, without the g c ' nerouswilh fo? general prcfpei 1 and happinefs. Of what ufe can an attachment be tor inani mate things ? Neither the clay nor the (tones can reciprocal eftcem. A love Sor our coun trymen is rational and p ral e worthy, but of what federal pitriotifm ? It chenfh a IIiODT haUeJ for all o
