PHILADELPHIA,

TUESDAY EVENING, March 27

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Boston to his friend in Philadelphia, dated March 16, 1798.

"We have accounts from France, which confirm the new decree of the French, to take all neutral vessels with British goods. They have besides declared England and Ireland to be in a state of blockade (they should have added, by their own ships) and forbidden all neutrals from trading with them."

In an article published in yesterday's Gazette it was said that there is not one officer whose conduct in the late war will bear scrutiny, who is to be found among "the base hireling crew of calumniating Jacobins."

Callender, in the Aurora of this morning, has printed the above assertion, and immediately under it the following:

"Looking into Congress we find many respectable military characters opposed to the present plan of war, such as general Smith of Baltimore, colonel Parker of Virginia, gen. M'Dowell and col. Gillespie, of North Carolina. It is needless to multiply farther examples."

Has Callender the audacity to insinuate that either of the above gentlemen are Jacobins? Or is it "a precious confession" of his employer Bache?

A JACOBIN SECRET

Mr. Fenno says, "it may be boldly proclaimed that not an officer of the least credit or respectability, or whose conduct during the revolutionary struggle will bear scrutiny, is now to be found among the base hireling crew of calumniating jacobins."—Jacobin Bache in reply to this, declares that he finds many, and enumerates general Smith of Baltimore, Col. Parker of Virginia, general M'Dowell of N. Carolina, and col. Gillespie.—Who ever suspected, or would have known this if it had not been blabed out by some jacobin? A precious confession!!!
