Upon January Bth, 1799, the
Poft-Mafler General of the U.

therein fays that the United

feven hundred poft-maHcrs.—
And fuch is the Hate of Bufmefs
in that department, that, within
fix months from this time, the
fucceEor of Mr. Haberffiam
will moH likely turn out 350
of them. The abufes and cor

As the Aurora is the mofl
formidable newspaper to defpo
tifm that at prefent exifts in this
country, it was to be expeded
that our maHcrs would take eve
ry method in their power to
cramp its circulation. Yet it
is not long fince that paper was
received in this part of Virginia
with tolerable regularity. But
now the cafe is reverfed. The
printer is often five or fix days
at a Hrctch, without receiving
a single Aurora! Ignorance
itfelf cannot be at a lofs to ac
count for a folution of this pro
blem. When we confider that
the poft-office eHablifhmcnt,
like every other Federal eHab
lifhment, is under the fuperin
tendance of thofe fwindiers and
ince/.diaries who are at prefent
burning the public offices, we
muH not be furprifed at any
thing attrocipus which can ima
ginably happen. The Aurora,
however, is far from being the
only that has receiv
ed this kind of treatment. , Ly
on’s Cabinet , for example, has
frequently been intercepted, as
well as the newfpapers which
have been lent in exchange for
it.
