FROM A NEW-YORK PAPER.
Shortly will be publiflied, in this
town, the new political system of the
United States, collected from the im
mortal works of Pac ficus, of No Jaco
bin, and other celebrated American
civilians. This work will contain the
following chapters.
lit. On the manner of consolidating
a free government, by aristocracy and
defpotifim*
2d.. On the manner of making crea
tures for government in popular a(
femblies, with notes on that important
ohje<St, taken from the port folios of
lord North and mr. Pitt; as alio from
the correlpondence of mr, \ alons, at
this moment in America, found among
the papers of Louis XVlth.
3d. On the advantage of a Funding
, system for the purpose of ruining the
farmers, and enriching the merchants
and flock jobbers, who are more dii
pofed, in general, to favour the views
of ftateiinen, than thole plain yeo
manry who are acquainted only
liberty, the rights of man, and the law.
4th. On the danger which threatens
the United States, if they continue
allies to France, which teems deter
mined (in spite of the efforts of mr. .
M , American ambafl'adnr at Pa
ris) to maintain in their full force the
principles of the mod pure democracy.
1 sth. On the necellity of forming
an intimate connexion with England,
whose principles on government, on
the administration, on the finances, on
the excile, on the flamps, on the pub
lic debts, bear a great analogy with j
those which an enlightened patriotilm
wilhes to perpetuate or introduce in
America.
6th. On the art of rendering un
popular, by calumny and falfiiood, all
those national and foreign fools,known
Under the denomination cf republi
cans, anti-federalifls, and jacobins,who
prefer the happiness of the people to
their private interest, and who look’
I upon it as their duty to tell them the
I truth, as if it were neceflary to inform
1 those who were to be governed.
7 tlu On the expediency of restrain-
H ing the liberty of the press, and of
■ hindering individuals, and even parti
■ cular dates, from concerning them
% l’elves with political affairs, since in a
I free government they interest only
those who hold the helm of the vefi'el,
and the keys of the treasury.
3th. A particular difierratibn on the
H physical and moral force of treaties,
I and on the rtieans that may be em
ployed to elude them, with the help
ofquotations drawn from the mod an
cient authors of antiquity, the plead
ings of federal lawyers, and a ilrong
dole of ingratitude.

CHESTERFIELD’S PROPHECY*
The following quotation from lord
Chefterfield’s letters, (written ui
1752) will at once serve to shew
his lordftiip’s difcernmcnt, and th f
early foundation laid to the prefect
French revolution.
“ I received this momen- y oir
t£ r of the 19th, with the enloled
“ WHERE LIBERTY DWELLS, THERE IS MY COUNTRY.’’ —Franklin.
SAVANNAH: PRINTED BY JAMES CAREY, ON THE BAY, NEAR THE COFFEE-HOUSE.
pieces relative to the present dispute
between the king [of France] and the
parliament. I lliall return them by
lord Huntingdon, whom you will
soon fee at Paris, and who will like
wise carry you the piece which I for
got in making up th? packet 1 sent you
by the fpanilh ambaflador. Ihe re
prefentarion of the parliament is very
well drawn, fuaviier in medo, jot titer
in re. They tell the king very re
fpectfully, that in a certain case, •which
they Jhculii think it criminal to fupp'J
they would not obey him. This hath
a tendency to what we here call revo
lution principles. I do not know what
the lord’s annointed, his vicegerent
upon earth, divinely appointed by him,
and accountable to none but him for
his adions, will either think or do,
upon these symptoms of reason and
good-sense, which leem to be breaking
out all over*Frafice; but this I fore
fee, that before the end of this cen
tury, the trade of both king and priest
will not be half (o good a one as it has
been. Du Clos,. in, his Reflexions,
hath observed, and very truly, qu'ily
a un ga me de ra jon qut commence a fe
dcvelloiper en Fimmcc- A devil'PP tnent
that mud prove fatal to regal amt
papal pretensions. Prudence may, in
many cases, recommend an occaiional
fuhmiffion to either ; but when that
ignorance, upon which an implicit
faith in both could only be founded,
is once removed, God’s vicegerent,
Chrift’s vicar, will only be obeyed
and believed, as far as the one orders,
and the other lays, is conformable to
reason and to truth.”
THE fiibfcriber takes the liberty to ac
quaint the planters and the public in
general, that he continues to prosecute the
FACTORAGE & COMMIS
SION BUSINESS only,
and hopes, from his assiduous endeavours, to
promote the interest of those who may favour
him \yj3ll their commands. —Eli,s Bores are as
convenient for the teception and fccurity of
produce as any in this city:
Orders from the country will be punc
tually attended to.
