'of the Holy Apojiohc See, htjhob of iiaefehia, to hts dear brethren the Re verend Curatet of that City and Dio (cf% Health and Benedidion / Dearest Brethren, I learn k with the mod lively sorrow, that peace, the only object of chriftians, does not reign among you ; that/fomc perverse or mistaken men, ignorant of the evangelical and foetal duties, feducc you by their counsels, endeavour to provoke a civil war, and to lead you to certain de finition. In the midst of the horrors to which you are abandoned, I remind you that religion prefenbet obedience andfia ernity ; that it abhors a! i diftinfhons and privileges; and that it fotms of Christians one fmgle family, which ex cludes even the lhadow of dcfpotifm or fetvitude. Such, my dear brethren, is true foirit of our holy religion. What blind fury has rendered you rebels to its peace fid maxims ? Youltftcn only to the voice of falfehood and difeord ; you place your selves in oppofitibn to your greatdt hap plnefi : you arm against your brothers; vou make vvur upon yomfelvcs and your fellow-men. Hence the deflation ot fa milies, the blood and the tears of them nocent. Dcftruclion and death reign e ven in the Church of Jesus Christ, in the bosom of w Viich there, ought only to dwell Charitv, Fraternity and Peace. Consider, then, dearest. brethren, to what terrible confluence etror, the dau c-r of ignorance and deceit, exposes you. You are miffed; those bile prophets de ceive you, who, abuffng your innocent credulity, preach rd vou that our new govcrntTientj cftablitocd sot thu goo o the people, is etefted on the ruins of onr holy.. Religion. No other government re fpefh so much its maxims, or adopts so completely its principles; and no Religi on can more readily conform ufelt than :he chriftian to a democratic or popular government, which has for its fundamen tal principle the io.e ot «ur species. Dear brethren, undeceive yourselves. Liberty is nothing more than obedience tp the law of jullice and realon ; Ed ua l ~ ry excludes every kind of dcfpotifm or ierviiude —In a word, Democracy is the only government for men who would nei ther be opprefl’ors nor opprefled, xlas fefus Christ ever opposed those sacred pt m ciples which arc the balls of the new go vernment? Without charity, without justice, we cannot be real chriftians. If you have hitherto borne arms, flam ed with the innocent blood of your bro thers, to defend a religion which wanted not your support, know that you have lifted them up against that fame religion which you fancied that you were deicn* iiig. Acknowledge your error, and a vert the evils that menace you. —Return to that order which the Evangclift and your own intcrcft prefer!he to you. When you lhall be free and equal you will be truly happy you will blcfs your deliverer-—you will be better citi zens and more perfeft chriftians. And you, miniiters of the fanfluary, who divide with me the care of the Chii ftian Vineyard, unite your endeavors to remove from the mind of your flock that faife zeal which carries desolation every where. Preach peace, and give a just idea ot the democratic government, which has for its basts the religion of Jesus and the interetts of focicty. I ac company you in your apostolic Ministry with my holy pastoral bend Ft inn. * HAMBURG, July a.

CUXHAVEN, June 16. Our town has been taken podeflion of by the French troops, A few days be fore the arrival of the French, the En gl ilh prefled a great proportion of the Tai lors. They carried on the press with the greatest vigour and authority. A mong tlie refl, a great number of Ameri can Tailors were prefled. In this neigh- , borhood, as at Hamburg, Brcmert {fffcf ' Hanover, there prevails the greatest in dignation against the conduct of England. 'There is no man of reflection who is not convinced that the repose of the continent depends on the repreflion of the insolence of that turbulent government. It is fur ther to be noticed, that the influence of ‘the English in the North is weakened. AU the bills of exchange which have been p rest tiled from England have been protest ed. . LONDON, July 12. A court of aldermen was held yeftcr day, at which it was resolved to arm in every ward, ajl men between the age of 18 and and to embody all men above the age of 45, in a corps to serve as con stables. The negociatiou which has for fomc j weeks been carrying on through the me diation of Raffia, for rtfloring peace be-, tween this country and France, has been j brought to a clgfe---It has produced no- >1 thing: indeed hardly any one expeded it would. The secretary of the Ruffian ; erabafly, at Paris, is now in London. He brought the dispatches which announc ed the failure of the ncgociation. It re mains to be seen what part the court of St. Peterlburgh will take in cotifequence. Our readers will find in a preceding column the French account of the capture of the Minerva. She grounded in endea voring to take some small veflels, laden with ttores. A cannonade of seven hours and a half was kept up against her from the forts and gun-boats before (he struck. She had 1 z men killed and 15 men se verely wounded—-We are forrj to add, that the crew bad been landed, the fri gate was got off the rock, and carried by the French into Cherbourg. Two Spanifli fliips from New. Orleans and Louisiana, bound to France and a Weft Indiaman, have been sent into Ply mouth. We are sorry however to an nounce the capture of three of our home ward bound Jamaica (hips. The cardinal and archbilhops of France have iflued their mandates for prayers to be offered up in support of the French arms. The atchbifliop of Rouen, in his raandatum, proceeds in the following drain:—Let us befcech the Almighty, that the man of his right hand, that man who by his direction and by his orders, has done so much for the restoration of his worfliip, and who purposes to per form still more, may continue like Cyrus, to be the Chrilt of Providence. Let us beseech him to watch over his life, to cover him with his wings. Sec. OnTuefday last the city of London voted 800 men I Only 800 ;w» at this time of day / The city of London, when the armada threatened this country, was defined to furnilh £,OOO men, and 15 fliips• They granted 10,000 men and 30 ships. Every where the (pint of the country anticipated and out (tripped the demands ot government. But in the pre feat degenerate times, the city of Lon don offers 800 men I Even this mifierable effort of patrioiifm is almost solitary. What town, what country, what corjio. ration has contributed a barren resolution to the public service at this important crisis ? What nobleman or gentleman has given a generous example of his zeal, we might almost fayj; of his ftrid duty ; (fora baron was lit firft a fuldier) in railing men or (hips for the defence of the nation ? But no. Thcfe are not virtues of this age. We stand quietly to be (horn by the tax gatherer, and there our patriotism ends. Alexandria, in Egypt, has, for a time at lead, been wrested from the Porte by the part of the garrison, who routined from want of pay, and after committing great cxcefles made themselves mailers of tlie place. In the event of invasion, the king, it is Hated, will take the field sh person, and will be affifled in the conduft of the war by a military council.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 3*- The iloop Hibtnd (a conilant trader from Philadelphia ro Alexandria) arrived at Alexandria on tha 28th inst. from Phi ladelphia. On his paflage captain Hand had one of his men imprefled by a Britiih 64 gun ship.

PHILADELPHIA, Augujl 25. The Britifli capture of an American Clip from Rotterdam to Philadelphia with Swr/s pajfengers , is the molt extraordi nary and injurious aft, which the Britifli. navy or privateers have ever committed I’he authority is the letter of the Britifli midshipman, and many of the Britifn and federal newspapers. Shinmdiu, Britan nia, abuteris patientia nojira. At Cux haven, a German port, the British crui sers impress American seamen. In the case of our vdiel, with Swiss pafiengers, it is added fignificantly by the English officer, that (he had gunpowder and flints on board. It is may be lawful to detain velTels bound into blockaded ports, which have on board gunpowder and flints, becaufc they may help the enemy ; but vefldscar tying those military articles frosn block aded ports, cannot be detained, without a gro/i <violation of common sense, and of the law of nations; for the carrying a. way military Jiores from the blockaded enemy, weakens, and does not help, that enemy. Great Britain (hews too little sense of our neutrality or amity, hut in parliamentary speeches. If England may take neutral men from neutral (hips, and neutral sailors from neutral territories, as at Cuxbauen, (he may do any thing.— The British government must reform the conduft of its confers, or ill consequences will ensue, Prussia seized on Hanover in 1800 wjth an avowal, that (he would hold it, until the neutral commerce (hould be refpefted by the Britifli cruisers. The northern Britiih provinces could cafily be treated by the United States in like man ner ; and if our French treaty of.. 1778 was repealable by an aft of corgrefs in 1798,. our British treaty of i794is also repealable. The Britifli nation will ne ver support a ministry, which fliculd al low quarrels between them and us to arise from such gross and irregular conduft on their part towards America. We im. port from them yearly goods to the amount of thirty millions of dollars. "We are the heft customer they have on earth. If the Baltic (hould he (hut they will be in absolute neceflity of our (applies. The treatment of the neutral commerce at the mouth of the Elbe is a high hand ed aft of Britifli naval power. Ham burg and Altona are both neutral. Nei ther is pofleffed by French troops. One is an imperial city of Germany, and one is a Danifti city, both are neutral. ‘Yet lord Hawkdbury announces that the Bri, tifti (hips of war will blockade the Elbe, and of course cut oft' neutral commerce with neutral cities, not invaded by any enemy. If in consequence, our country produce falls in price, our (hips want em ployment, and our supplies of German goods fall orate greatly enhanced in price Great-Britain will be to blame for an aft the law of nations does not warrant, and whi£h is opposed to the spirit of all her treaties.

The specimen of diplomaticJlyle played off by Lilian at tlieilaguc, in offering ihs Dutch the boon of neutrality , has been , adduced as a wonderful evidence of mag nanimity ; It was father unfortunate that they had long before carried above thir ty fail of Dutch (hips into the ports of the north coast and the channel. Had the English minifiry been really fin cere, they would have proffered to restore her co lonies plundered and possessed in a war into which England forced that nation. Mr. Dundas, who often speaks truth.un der the influence of the latitude of his po litical ftntiments, acknowledged in fpeak ingof the enterprise against Copenhagen, that it was the fy.fl.em of, England, from the days of Elizabeth, to aspire to the '> complete dominion of the ocean, that this policy iiad produced .till the wars and negotiations that had taken place between. England and Holland, aud many of those with France; and that sovereignty of the ocean mult be maintained at ail haz ards. In the debate in the liritifh i »■ of commons, the 24th May, 1805, Mr. .

Aurora • CHARLESTON, Sept. 6. Capt.

Notwithstanding the exertions that are making, and the calumnies that are dai. ly circulated by the enemies to Mr. jef ferfon and theprefent adminiftraticn, the republicans of Georgia must learn with great fatisfadfion, that their brother re publicans in the different states, are ad vancing by their eledliens, with rapid and determined strides to defeat their po litical opponents—Virginia, Ohio, Ken tucky and North. Carolina, have already convinced the Anti-Democrats, that they, labour in vain, and that their calumnies and abuse of public characters, are the ftrpngcft recommendations to the people’s favors. The economical plans and fuc cefsful negoefatiers of the President have defeated all the intrigues, and confound ed all die hopes of those, who hate re- • publicanifm, and despise the people. Im pressed, no doubt, with these ideas, it is expedlcd that the Electors of Georgia will afford their country, frcfli proofs of their civifm and attachment to the prin ciples of the revolution, by their choice of firm and decided Republicans to repre sent them in the state and national Icgif latures. In oar last, we were under the necessity of making a few ft figures on the bigof ted and illiberal letter of Wm. Baker, In point of religious rancour and political intolerance, we did not expedi to find a match for that perfecutorj but we have been egregiously miftaken—Telamon out strips him far ; the firft was a gentleman, comparatively fpeaking—Telamon is not only an impotent fool, a libeller of the government, hut a barefaced and wilful liar, with rcfpedf to what he affects of the Editor of the Chronicle. Telamon is one of those infamous conspirators a gainst the majesty of the people, who is in the habits of considering them a swin ish multitude, and he evidently belongs to that corps of affaftins and libellers, who are organized in America, to war against Democracy and the Government.
