&EVV BUR VFORT, Sept. 5. 1 low ungrateful muft that in an be who after a long feries of unin terrupted profperity, is unwilling to iacrifice, to the general welfare of his country, a fmall moiety of his income, when the rights and liber ties of the nation require it for their prefervation. With what cheerful ness did our worthy anceftors leave the European world and flx their habitation in this foil, to enjoy a freedom of religion and politics. With what perfeverance did they ffruggle through the many difficul ties which prefented themfelvcs in •every form, to obtain thofe eflfen tial privileges ,* and what magnan imity did the patriots of the revo Union, evince in their glorious ftrug gle for the emancipation of their country from the chains of defpot ifm: facrifices were cheerfully made to efFed the Independence of America, and no complaints heard on account of embarraflfments ex perienced. No—thefe noble mind ed men, preferred Liberty and Po verty rather than fiavery and af fluence. Shall it be faid of us, their offspring, that we are unwil ling to make a fmall facriftce to perpetuate the bleffings acquired by their labor ? Shall we exhibit to the world, that we arc not capable of governing ourftlves, and are wil ling to fubrait to the infujes and de predations of the belligerents of Europe ? We truft not. But there are men in this country, who wor foip at the footftool of Idolatry ; whofe patriotifm extends no farther than their intereft is beneficted; and who, for the lure of gain would not only barter ther independence, but their GOD.— Statefman . BOSTON, Sept. lg. We are promifed an entire tranf- Jation of the new Conftitucion of Spain, which we fhall infert in our paper as loon as we can find room for it. It the mean time we are allured thefe are the prominent re publican traits : all periodical pub lications are permitted for the prel enr, and two years after its eftab li foment, the prefs is to be free.—> The judiciary is independent. Per fonal liberty is fecurcd—and crimi nal trials are to be public. The Interior cultom-houfes, which were to be found in almoft every town in the kingdom, with an immenfe fwarm of worthlefs guards, are a boiifoed, and thofe only of the fea coaft retained. An annual account of the expences ofgovernment is to be given to the people. The col onics have full liberty to cultivate whatever they pleafe a natural right of which they have been heretofore deprived. Men of all claffes may rife to high Ration?, according to their virtues and mer its ; and the Conftitution is left o pen to amendments for a certain number of years. From the Aurora. French party—~ Arnold, after en deavoring to betray the Americas camp, addrefled a proclamation to his Connecticut friends* upbraiding them for their fubjettion to the rrench —for buffering the French to celebrate their religious rites*—and I he followed op his proclamation by f burning New-London and Fair fleld in his native ftate ! This was the pra&ica! religion of fteady re ligious habits* There are many of his countrymen who would purfue the fame path—and who are pock eting, like Arnold, Britifh guineas j u exchange for which they abufe the government, and rear out, French influence —the wretched, pi tiful lubcerfuge of the enemies of our independence is, to cry our, French party ! French influence 1 and to alarm the people with French tyranny and conqueft. Thefe foul mouthed libellers of our govern ment are people of the Britifh par ty. Let England do us juftice— let her treat us with common de cency—let her abandon her tyran nical condu& on the ocean, and every American will wifo her fuc cefs, and become of her party. — Let her treat us only as well as France has done—let her only iflue an order of council that foe will treat our flag with as much refpedt as France does, and then if France refufes us freedom and refjped, we foall, to a man, unite in doing cre dit to England. But till then—till foe makes reparation for outrage and wrong—till England fecures us the relpedt due to an independent nation —while foe requires us to pay tribute, and catties our citizens into flavery like Algerines—we fay, the man who advocates her policy or her fyftem, is the enemy of our country, and the bafe partizm of Britain; for no finccrc and virtu ous American can any more love England than Algiers while we ex perience fimilar treatment from both. It is ill her power any day to make us fall friends, but foe prefers to plunder, tho’ her necef flties would have induced her to flay her hand before now had ; t not been for the Britijh party who in duced her to hold ou , who falfely and wickedly tell her we will Jub rr.it. Here, however, they are miftaken—we will never fubmit.—* “ Independence or war'* is the de termined fentiment of every AMERICAN. DISTRICT Of"GEORGIA. ADMIRALTY DECISIONS, By the Judge.
