\ . * .'IIC : .<’CC G. . i ' C*ol % v;ho had a'inlcd a minority in monopoizing all the offices of profit or honor ; and explains in a lucid and lath fact ary man ner, his defign oh correcting this partial procedure of Mr. Adams, and of ufing the power v.ith which the conftitution in veils him, to equalize infome meafure, the difpofition of of fices. The <c Citizen” ofNew-York mentions, that James Watfon, who was lome time fir.ee a fena tor of the United States, and a navy agent under Adams, and whom the tones fet up as one of their candidates at the late go vernmental election—the fame man who bargained for a dock yard at New-York—has been arrefted by order of the execu tive, for the fmall fun; of one hundred thoufand dollars. Aurora. One of the moll common and plaufiblc arguments m favor of the former legiflative and exccu tive adminiftration of our go vernment, is founded upon the increafe of the population, agri culture, commerce, navigation, ike. of the United States. There i • a fallacy in this proper mode (Teafoning. The natural growth f inch a youthful country as this is, is nor the produce of government, any more than the progrels of a youthful human body, in flature, fizc and ft length is the e fie 61 of the youth’s par ticular mode of dri fs or educa tion. In both cafes the opera - tion of natural caufes produce the increafe. The true queftion is, whether the United States would not have increafed more in the numbers, ftrength, re fources, political freedom and general profperity and happinefs, under a more economical and rep it Hi can adminiftration. Some who have held offices under the federal government almofb ever fmee its firft eftab lifhment complain bitterly of being luperceded. Surely if the offices they held were lucrative, ten or twelve years ought to ffiffice them to monopolize all the profits. If they were not lucrative, why are they lb cla morous at parting with them ? B oft on paper. Extra™ from the Annual Regifter for the year 1796. £c When the American revo lution began, it was oppofed by a numerous party. For the to nes of 1775, many obvious and reafbnable excufes can be offer ed which will not vindicate the tories of 1796. Within the laft twenty, and efpecially within the Ell feven years, more real light has been diffufed on the genuine principles of political freedom rhan the world ever law before. u Rights of Man is only a continuation, on a very improv ed fcale, of the doctrines ad duced in Common Senje. Ihe latter was the creed of the pa triots of 1776. By the friends liberty it was univerfiilly read, admired and quoted. Common Senlc had a luccefs and an im portance never enjoyed by any former political pamphlet in the annals :.f inftory. Man} in Lif ters of New-England preached fermons which were little more than extracts from if. When the firft: copies arrived in the American camp a: Cambridge, they were perilled with tranl porc. An officer then in that army oblerved lately that n rein forcement of five thoufand men would nor have infpired the troops with equal confidence as this pamphlet did, in the ju ft ice of j their caule, and the probability ol their ultimate fuccefs. 'fo : rep roll ate Common Shfe is pre- , cifely to reprobate American independence. “ In the viflories of this pain- j phlct, the force of original ge- j nitis was ftriklngly exhibited j I the unadorned charms of truth 1 and realon obtained a complete triumph. Before the plain ar- 1 guttiencs of an obfciire individual, j whom his enemies childifhly rc- j preach as a difcarclcd exciseman, j the pcnfioned and tided advo cates of royalty funk into forget fulnefs. The greateft orators of antiquity did not more tyranni cally command the conyidlion of their heurefs than the writer of Common Senfe ; nor did Tali eftin or Oftian, at the head of their fellow fiddlers, ever infpire more inflexible entkufiafm. 1 .ike the Draper’s letters, a pamphlet offixty pages, a pamphlet which has neither the fafcinacion of po etry, nor the elegance of prole, irreftftiblv feized the helm of J public opinion, and tore up re ft fiance by the roots. The fummens to liberty and to’ ven geance relbundtd from New- Hampfhire to Georgia. From the degraded appendage of a foreign monarchy, the thirteen Uz z United States role to independ ent exigence, Thomas Paine was the Tyrrarus of that revo lution.” (ftj 3 This coniTitmes his enormous unpardonable crime with the tones of 1801 —and this is the real caufe why they exclaim againft; his returning to America. BOSTON, Auguft 4. Important to Merchants. We are informed, by a ref peTtable correlpondent, that our minifter at the court of London has obtained an order to the Weft-Indies and Halifax, which will put an end to the capture of our veftels on the plea, that we could not carry on an in dire A trade from our own ports with the ene my of England, in articles manu factured or produced in the enemy country ; this order, joined to the reform of the colony courts of admiralty, will be of great advantage to our trade, fhoul.i the war continue, which is not improbable. One court is to be eftablillied at Martinique, ano ther at Jamaica, and a third at Halifax.
