Gazette Of The United States, & Philadelphia Daily Advertiser

The foolish populace, who are ever the first instruments resorted to by designing villains in the work of destruction, have been in every instance, brought to a temper fitting their bad purposes, by having ideas instilled into their minds, of the enviable situation of those set in authority over them, which, as their deceivers set forth, banishes in a short time from their minds, all remembrance of their former state, and renders them the natural enemies of the poor and humble mass. Hence, they are led to conclude, that they are promoting most directly their own interests, when engaged in pulling down these great men and demolishing their systems—Thus proving by their conduct the absurdity and villainy of the principles on which they act.

In a rage for new conquests, LEPAUX seiz'd a map,

Mistaking a blot on the Chart for a Gap:

Ha, ha! cry'd this Wizard, to admiral Brueys

I find here a pass, through this Isthmus, by Suez;

By which, with our fleet, you shall sail the Red Sea.

To plunder all India and Asia for me.

Brueys sail'd,—and he blundered each Inlet about;

Still the way he went in, he was glad to get out;

Still embittered by long disappointment, he swore

To find a Red Sea or to find France no more.

Lest this oath should be vain, or brave Nelson forgot,

Of Neptune observe the Decree:

That French Blood Should run a Red Sea on the spot

And Nelson ride safe on each Sea.

President of the French Directory, at the time the Toulon expedition was planned.

LOGAN.

THE fact can be well attested (and if necessary, will be) that, for about six weeks previous to Logan's departure for France, Jefferson regularly spent two days in the week with him.—

Logan is not a man of such talents, of such popularity, or in any way of such consequence, as heretofore to have attracted the particular attention of Jefferson, or of any of the children of Sedition. Such a coalition of knavery and folly would at any time have excited curiosity: Under present circumstances it would not be astonishing if more than suspicion should attach to the parties.

The friends of Jefferson—the enemies of the United States—the wretches that he harbors under the denomination of democrats, affect to laugh at the idea of an embassy from them to the French. But if we will only recollect the state of the public mind at the time at which Logan's infamous mission commenced—indignant at the treatment of our envoys by the directory and repelling with one voice the degrading propositions made to us through the envoys, measures evidently adopted without their necessary and usual information from this side the water:—If we reflect that there was an absolute necessity that some steps should be taken to counteract the effects of the unadvised proceedings of the Great Nation, unless their partizans here meant to relinquish all the prospects of their wicked and inordinate ambition: if we add the acknowledgment of Judge McKean, that shortly previous to Logan's departure he gave him some sort of certificate (such, I suppose, as when Negro's and United Irishmen were not permitted to travel the country without examination, would have been called a Pass) which, though not in the form of a letter of Credence, was to have some effect where the Chief Justice and his political sentiments were better known than the insignificant doctor; and if we combine with all these the numerous facts which are daily thrusting themselves upon our unwilling notice,—evidences of Sedition and of Treason, we shall not be so slow as we unfortunately, are, in believing that a system is organized and carrying rapidly into execution, to subvert the free and happy government which we now enjoy, and to place in power, by force, those characters which the voluntary suffrages of honest men will eternally exclude.
