A true conv. “ AUGUSTE BKRGEVIN.” From PouhotCs Daily Advertiser. CHAU EES PETIT. The hand of Time removes, wi'h quick and painful certain tv, the characters endeared to our country, by revolutionary merit, as well as by personal worth. To the long list of the patriots of the revolution, who Have died since the peace of 1783, the name of t hades Petit was added, on the morning of Wedia sc!ay la t. 1 his gentleman was educated, and practised with reputad t, as a lawyer. At the commence ment ol tlie re\ olution, he was ;>c Uttar v cl Nctv.Jersey (the pro vince ti> which he was bom) an* det Governor Franklin the son ot the Amei it an-age. 11c ini uitcuaudy, liowcvci, joined the | standard (if ividepcndcnce ; rr.cl | hroi!gl*out fhc memorable cm. lest he was a constant, a laithful ,rnd an efficient public agent. I3v a resolution of Congress he was associated with hi* friends Gen , ersl Greene and Colonel C’oxe, >n the department of Quarter Master Genera! to the American rnmy ; and those friends, who well knew the intelligence of his mind the force, of his industry, and the ardor of Ins patriotism, which u merited and fortunate confidfctjee, devolved upon him the principal execution of this ar duous trust. General Washing ton, who praised him; the sol uiers, who loved him ; arid ifte government, who thanked (but did not, perhaps, sufficiently re. ward) him ; have borne testimo ny of his meritorious and exem plary services, in every vicissi tude of ■ be war. On the declaration of peace Mr. Petit chose Philadelphia for hia residence, and became one of the most intelligent, active, and influential merchants of the city. Be still however, participated in public business. Ue was an ac tive agent to procure a fair provi sion for die public creditors; h’lßselt, u is true having become in very hazardous times, to al most the wlf,>le extent 01 his tor. tune, a public Creditor. Asa number of the legislature ot Pennsylvania, he was tne author of the lnnding system of the state : rot wkh a view to embar rass the then existing federal go vernment, but with a view to al ienate the distresses of his con stituents, till the federal govern ment had acquired the power to do them.justice. He was aLo, a delegate in cc tigress, under the confederation ; and then, for the benefu of the union, as well as of the siate he acquired the general confidence employing that confidence ni-che advancement of the public good regardless of per sonal advantage.— On tile gteat question relative to the present constitution ui tne United bt lies he stated his objectiatc; with tirm iifcss, but h recommend and its a ciopiion with candor ; arui it is known, that he became the prin c pai instrument of subduing the Penii', lvauia opposition, by his cunuluoory conduct, and foiciuie reasoning, as a conferee, at the gemiai conference which was iield in Harr hbn; git, previously to die Ultimate vote of ratifica tion. I'or some years, Mr Pe it has mingled little in the coi.tiovcr sies, and felt little of toe cares -of public life. Asa man of busi ness, however, he has disj.laved gueat taleu.s, assiduity and fidef uy,tn presiding, for many jears over the first incorporated insu rance Company of Philadelphia. As ame mber of society , lie auj circulated useful informal! n , seitied commemiai disputes and cultivated by precept; as well as by example, “ Peace un caiin and good will towards men.” White. as the father of a nuute rous and respecUb e otisprmg, he has raised a monument to per peiuaie the memory of Iris do mestic values aud affections, ” I| icl* shall endure, as lo u g as the feeling- of gratitude can influence the present generation, or toe narrative ot crudi, ‘can awaken the sensibility ot their posit- icy.

A REPUBLICAN. The follow ing toasts was given by Air. I. Smith, at Chatieston, Massachusetts : “ Thomas Jeff rson, President of the United Slates—who levels his breastwork, spikes his cannon, hares his bosom to the shafts of his enemies, and gav 3 the deep cst wound bv a ilignifi- and silence.” Ofien have we hsard tlie ene mies of Mr. Jefflrsau say, and we observe such language in every federal print, that if he is innocent of the charges alledged 1 against him, why does he not come forward and vindicate him self ? Is he, because his fair char acter is assailed; because the poisonous arrows of slander are levelled at his bosom, by every hireling, every dealer in calumny, io give an account of his past life. No ; it would be unbecoming the chief Magistrate of a free people; a people who hold him high in their estimation ; people zealous in good works. I he above toast is a complete answer to the cpiestions ot tuese wise acres.
