Republic for the complete restoration of that friendfhip which has been fo unfortunately disturbed.

Yesterday evening our worthy fellow-citizen John Marshall, left this city, in order to join his colleague, Mr. Dana, at Philadelphia, from whence they go immediately to France. Mr. Marfhall was escorted feven or eight miles on the road by the city light-horse, by a discharge of cannon-in fhort, every mark of attention which could be, was fhown upon this occafion. At parting with his company, the manly afpect of the General appeared to yield to his natural fenfibility; and not having, at this moment, words to exprefs his thanks for their politenefs-a tear evinced the feelings of his mind, and foretold, that his country's good refted on his heart. -Health to his perfon-Pleafure to his voyage-and SUCCESS to the negotiation *,

Bache and Jefferfon.-Bache calls Mr. Adams the Prefident by three votes; he forgets that his friend Jefferfon is Vice-prefident by a ftill fmaller number, and though by the conftitution elected, yet had not even a majority of the votes of the electors. Is it like a republican to reflect on the will of the majority, however fmall? Do not all true republicans refpect the will of the majority? Can republican government be adminiftered on any other principles? Do Mr. Jefferfon's friends recollect that the act for fixing the feat of government on the Potow

Bofton Chronicle.-The American public are requefted to read the following fentiment in the laft Chronicle- For I hold it would be far better to have "a CIVIL WAR, than a war with France." That is to fay, State against State-neighbour against neighbour-fon against father-and brother against brother -for this is the cafe in those most horrible of all fcourges, civil wars! I put the French and all other foreigners out of fight in this inftance; for our legally conftituted authorities will take, I doubt not, proper fteps with them, and proper care of ourfelves. I only mean to attract the public attention to a treasonable sentiment, which ought not to pass, like the ordinary abuse of the Chronicle, unnoticed. If there be any relation of Marat's in this country capable of writing fuch a fentiment, is it not fhocking that a printer can be found fo forgetful of himself and country as to print it, and publish it to his fellow citizens? This is a liberty of the prefs very little short of the liberty of burning our houses, fo lately practifed by fome of the fame ftamp with
