The New Hampshire Gazette

PHILADELPHIA, March 25.

Our letters from Washington are to the 26th. They state that Mr. Jefferson is going fast out of the favor and confidence of all moderate men, by a direct departure from his professions in the inaugural speech.-

It is feared that some of his most violent party adherents, who remained with him there a considerable time after the election, have prevailed on the President to act the part of M'Kean to a great extent. He has had the imprudence to stop the commissions of several Justices of the Peace appointed by Mr. Adams for the Territory of Columbia, and to substitute some of the most ignorant and ill-qualified men in their stead--As the justices were by law to exist for five years, and were appointed by the former President and Senate it is probable that Mr. Jefferson will be obliged to give up the commissions which have been thus illegally detained.

A postscript to this letter informs that the President had given up Mr. Stoddart's commission as a Justice of the Peace for the Territory of Columbia, and that he still retained six commissions.

Our letters state that the circumstance of Mr. Jefferson's having delayed making his appointments during the sitting of the Senate, has excited much alarm at Washington, not merely among the political friends of the late administration, but among the candid friends of Mr. Jefferson himself.

One of the first Commercial Characters in Boston, as well for talents and general knowledge of the world, as for what regards the true interests of his country, writes thus to his correspondent in this city :-

" Matters of the greatest moment at present must engross all the attention of the ministers of Great-Britain, and John Bull will have his hands full; but he will do well enough, if all remain quiet within. The external war with Europe, he will carry on, for a time at least, very successfully ; and some one of the coalition, by common consent, be the medium of commercial communications with all parties ;- perhaps our ships may do some part of this business, if so the better for us, if our new administration take care not to involve us in trouble with Great-Britain. Every thing that regards the United States, (I mean every thing in the European world) goes perfectly well for us as yet ; and I hope- Heaven has not so great a curse in store for us, as by our own folly to involve us in the present war, which would be ruinous to our country, and might, very probably, end in the total destruction of the federal government-and that would prove the reverse of our present prosperous and flourishing situation."
