' the federal republicans, who pofiVfs moll of the wealth of the U. States and are joined by the Englifli merchants, and the
very refpectble fociety of Cincinnati, are
doing all they can to prevent a war. Up

Should the Britilh govern ment fend a refpeftable force, fay 16 or 18,000 men to land in this ftate, the fed. eralilts, who are heartily fuk of a repuh lican government, as well as the order of Cincinnati, would join them to a man. and again to come under the protection of our late gracious fovereign, and put a final end to the U.

now makes it. Bonnpare will not permit
