Ghelapeak frigate, mentioning that the Rof

about one hour and an half, before they

From the National Intelligencer,
Remarks cccrf.cited by Mr. Adams Letters.
It has been often laid, and as often denied,
that there are"men in this country attached to
monarchy. The charge has been pronoun
ced the calumny of party, while those who
made it have declared it to be the honefl con
viftion cf their judgements, eftabliihed in
psrt upon evidence which they were at liber
ty to divulge, in part upon that which a
fcntiir.ent cf honor forbade them to publish
rh.e former they have Bated; while they
have suppressed the litter.
On this point public opinion has beer,
grettly divided. It is, however, firmly be
lieved that the change cf the lilt administra
tion was in a great degree effected by the
general sentiment that there vvere men in th
government whose views vvere fubverfiveot
republicanism, and that the me a fur es of the
government vvere calculated to further thtf
views. Si ill the exiffer.ee of such views anti
this tendency cf measures, were denied ; and
the‘friends ot the adminiflraticn avowed an
unequivocal preference of the republican,
over ail other lyitems of government.
To account for such denial, it may be re
collected that at that period, a pred.lection
i for republicanism not only exißed here, bur
; was vigorcußy active abroad. French ardour
for liberty had not then been fib iued by the
bayonet ; and the republican fyflem Bill pro-
Tifed to fix its roots in that country, and
thence to ramify its branches over Europe.
But the face of things has recently chang
ed, and liberty has vanifiled from France.
Dazzled by the military gfory of che ui'tirper,
or fearing the over-whelming extent cf hi.
power, the French nat:op have lubmitced
every po lineal right to tr.e mercy of the
lword. In short the republic is fubvemed
an and mc n arc hyhasr etu r n ed.
It has not- escaped observation that th’s
mighty transformation has been effected
without violence or contention; it has been
diftindlly seen that a nation of irrefifiable
power has abandoned all its love for liberty,
or has funk into a Bate of apathy totally i,i
-conßßent with its enjoyment or security.
It has been inferred that what has been
thus easily effecled in France may not be
difficult of execution in this country. Hence
the publication of tliefe letters.
Hit her 1 9 they have courted the ohfcuritv cl
a rigid concealment. Their contents have
been virtually denied. Now they are ulher
ed into day-light by those very men, who had
previously maniffßed the ftrongefl folicitudc
to conceal them. And not buffered silently to’
pals the Bream of observation, their appear
ance is attended., with applause and admira
tion.
These letters can be publiflied but from
two motivesj either to damn the politics
cha rafter of Mr. Adams; or to f'urnifh a
rallying point to the difa'fieftion to republi
canism that exißs in the country. If .the
former be the motive, then, indeed, the wri
ter will have as much ground to condemn tht
perfidy of his federal friends—for the publi
cation is from that quarter —as the republi
cans, the great body of the nition, will have
reason to rejoice in the exhibition of a danger,
which lofts more than half its terror by pub
licity.
The political character of Mr. Adams is
a point ct no national concern. That cha
racter has long been fixed. The lingular and
capricious movements of a mind without
principle can no more excite the dcrifion of a
friend or the indignation cf a foe. An early
grave has consigned chat charafter to a Bate
ox harmleß impotence.
Bur, though all apprehension from this
source is gone, the nation is Bill intereHed in
the principles contained in his letters; nor
can it cede to be intereßed while it retains its
freedom.
Thele principles are irrefragably monarch
El. The writer may repeat as often as he
pleases u I am a friend to a republican go
vernment — I prefer it to all others —if his
principles are such as are inconfnlent with its
exi Bence, if they are such as subvert it, then
will theie artful observations be considered in
no other lic-ht than as guilded pills intended
to deceive the patient who iwaliows the poi
bn.
’ . Let us now analife the letters.
The firft letter commences with the follow
ing expre(lions :
“ What is this world about to become r
Is'the miHcnium commencing ? Are the
kingdoms of it about to be governed by rea
(on ?’’—
This, lb far, is the language of irony.
Let it be recollefted, that this letter was writ
ten in the year 1790, when the French revo
lution had juß burß upon the world in all
the eihdgcnce of its glory. The edifice or
despotism had fallen without a groan .
pnvdeclged orders had disappeared without
refill a nee ; an opnreffive luperfticion was an
nihilated. On thele sublime events a spirit of
congratulation had gone through the whole
civilized world. No quarter cf Europe but
rejoiced in them ; and in America it was be
lieved there was not a heart that did not feel
rapture in them. We beheld anew republic
riling with the calmness and dignity of truth
on the ruins of a fyflem which had long been
execrated by mankind. V\ r e hailed the splen
did event as the guarantee of our own liber
ties. The illufirious Walking ton mingled
his accents with those of the American Con
gress, in conveying to our gallant allies, the
sympathy, the aifefticn, the admiration oi
r he American people.
Yes, at this period of univerfd jov and
honed enthusiasm, the man, who had once
Bood the pillar of liberty in this country, is
found to have ch- rifhed fenciments hoßiic to
it in other countries.
<f Every riling will he pulled down—i'o
mich ieems certain. Br.t wiiac will be built
