GEORGE and the DRAGON! To the efforts and afccndancy a gangrene Britifh fa&ion, which has wormed itfelf into the vitals of our government, may lc attributed the unfortunate divifions now cxifting among our citizens, and thofe dange rous and deftru&ful innovations drafted to the fubvcrfion of the firft principles of our revolution, and which have fo defcrvedly excited the fufpicions and fears of every friend to our liberty and political happincfs.

We find them, in the mod dtfgufting and nau feating terms, praifing our fteady and irnplicable enemies, and clafiing our firft magiftratc with a wretch, who has been the flex ible infirument of more murders than an hundred herods; wc find them proferibing democracy t on the principles of which our government is founded, as a “ crying herefy,” and abufing our left patriots who advocate their country's happincfs. Even Baltimore, (which to its eternal honors, can boaft of a greater number of republican citizens ™ an perhaps any other commer rialnty in the United States) is ’graced by one of thofe pefti .crous ar idocratic juntos, a lead en mem - )er of which is a c/cr and a majority of its member B Britijh fubjefts, Even this city, if ay> fuchajunto tx l » interferes with impu -111 y m our eleftions, that digefts 1 private, the deepcfl confpira ; againfi democracy, and finds [f‘ ar ' Pinters, alternately any r n or nothing , to give publicity their political blafphemy. 111 Saturday’s Telegraph, (a "Pcrlirlt cQabbfhed in this city , , a hw republicans) appears , Mjt c °mrnent, a firing of 16 r i:‘ l ran k “ at the anniverfary CT?

LIBERTY IS OUR MOTTO AND TRUTH OUR GUIDE cxercife over many terrefihl be ings, mud be a vile ariftocrat, fuch fcntimentsalone could have emanated from him. as they breath alone the devilijh fpirir of ariflocracy, I here feleft a few of thofe delicious morfels, and add to them a commenror two, in order to wafh them down the throats of thofe unfortunate readers who may be infefted with the crying herefy of democracy “ 3. George the third and good—** the defender of <he faith, and the avenger ol iacobi nifm" [A very good kind of a crea* ture truly ! a poor fenfelefs ideot, without wit enough tokeephim felf out of the fire ! a mere tool in the hands of a few defigning villains, who have entailed mife ry, diftrefs, (larvation and Have ry on two thirds of his inhje £fs! a “ defender of the faith” who hath aflented to a ftateof perpe tual watfare againfi the liberties of one half the people of the globe, and the conferences of a greater part of his own fobjefts; in Ireland, for in fiance, where a Catholic is obliged to abjure his religion, before admitted to office.] “3.

A fpeedy ronverfmn to every degenerated brother from the crying herefy oj democracy [The 10th toaft is a daring infult to thofe worthy patriots in congrefs, who fo ably, yet unfuccelsfully advocated a re dudlion of the army. No won der that men with principles like thefe Sens oj'the Dragon , fhould founder at a redu&ion of the army, as it is the favorite infim ment to which the ariftocrats have long looked up, as the only means effe&ually to carry their fchemes, of annihilating demo cracy into efFetfi] “ 16. The ftftive 23d of April—may the hallowed fpear of our tutelar faint defend it from all prophanation, and keep aloof the dragons of not, disor ganization and intemperance. [So I fay — but the “ hallow- ed fpeai” was, it feems, point lefs on the above occafion ! for when black eyes were added to “ brotherly love,” finely the “ dragon of not” was not « kept aloof;” and where fits were pro duced by hard drinking, the profiituted goddefs of temperance muft have quitted the bdotted faint in difguft!] ■ ■■Mill 11—^ VIRGINIA. PETER SB U RGB. May 8. ExiraFl of a letter from Bourdea\ix t dated Qst.h Ft by nary, 1800, to a gentleman in Georgetown , by a Jhip juft an wed at Norfolk. “ Our envoys palled through this place, on their route to Paris, a few days ago, they ap pealed fanzine on the fuccefs of thrir miffion, and manifefted the fame fpirit of conciliation, that thue is little doubt, they will meet on the part of this go\ eramenr. Thus, an arrange ment: is certain, and will be in my opinion prompt. A month probably after their arrival at Paris all will be fixed and con cluded on. “ There is no doubt the Ruf fians have definitively abandon ed the coalition, or at leafl the emperor of Germany, and in that cafe a continental peace is fure, which it is hoped, and cx pc6Ud will bring about a general one. The executive of this country is very peacefully m cincd.” ExtraFl of a letter Jrcm the editor of ike Aurora , to a correfpondent in Fichmond i dated April ifh, 1800. “ The cabinet here is in a very difeordant condition. r J hey hang together only like wrecked mariners on detached planks ; if one lets go, the whole go.
