of the leaders of the moderate party must
have fatiefied every impartial observer,
that the diiTentions in the Convention are
r tiler struggles for particular aggran
dizement than for general freedom—yet,
by silencing oppofilion, it has produced
the appearance of unanimity, and by re
moving the hope of amendment, incul
cates the neceflity of submitting to pre
sent misfortune. The decided difference
of political sentiments may be fpecified
as a reason for the feveritics exercised a
gainst the loyalifls ; but nothing could
have induced the remnant of this legiila
ture to (laughter colleagues, who, for
conduct similar to their own, had encoun
tered the execration of Europe, but the
operation of personal animosity, or the
insatiable appetite for power. The arti
cles of accusation preferred againlt them
are numerous and inconsistent; they are
at the fame time upbraided with desiring
the reiteration of the monarchy, and wilh
wishing to establish a federative Repub
lic j with fomenting the war with Eng
land, and seeking to raise the Duke of
York to the vacant throne of France.—
From such absurd contradictions we must
conclude, that the disapprobation of the
projects of Danton and Roberfpierre «vas
their chief offence, and the implacable re
sentment of the present rulers, the sole
motives for their condemnation. They
died as martyrs to the cause for the suspi
cion of betraying which they fuffered ; —
and as they funk, in their apprehension,
to Eternal Sleep, the ejaculation<af "Vive
la Republique," was the last which breath
ed from their lips. The merit of conspi
cuous talents, BrifTot and his aflociates
may be allowed to claim ; but too fero
cious and independent to submit to the
fvvay of the unfortunate Louis, and too
haughty and enlightened to yield to a
giddy and capricious multitude, by their
untimely fate they have expiated the guilt
they incurred by fanftioning the murder
of their sovereign, and overturning the
constitutional freedom of their country.
Poflefling fufficicnt capacity to excite the
form, they were destitute of adequate
ability and influence to direst or allay it;
and perhaps were not endowed with the
persevering wickedness requisite to ensure
popularity in the midst of the convulsions
they had raised. But the patient acqui
cfcence of the French in this measure, is
the furell proof of the ignorance of the
genuine principles of freedom which pre
vails among that people. They have seen
reprefentativej, freely nominated bythem
felves, and who (till continued to enjoy
the confidence of theii electors, tried by
a tribunal inflituted by personal enmity,
and from thence conducted to the fcaf
fold, without lefledting, that by this pro
ha?, from its foundation, exhibited every
symptom of premature internal decay.—
But though uafupported by any of those
circumthnces which are supposed to con
fer liability on dates and empires, it has
hitherto been cemented by the extrava
gant exertions of felf-dcluded enthusiasts;
and though the

NORFOLK, February 12.
Late neivs from France.
On Saturday last arrived in Hampton
Roads, the French frigate Charant, of 40
gune, from Rochfort, and on Monday the
remainder of the French fleet, confilting
of the following reflels, viz.—Le Tigre,
we difcoverthe fury which still continues
to rage against that minister, who, from
the benevolence and compassion of his dif
polition, still preserved some claim to ref
peft amidst the general corruption of his
countrymen. She died like the heroine
who had participated her husband's coun
sels, and advised his measures. Awed by
her reproaches into (hame, or terrified in
to the fear of detection by their continu
ance, her judges at once delivered them
selves from remorse, and secured the pro
longation of their jurifdi&ion, by her
summary condemnation. But to enter in
to any further enumeration of maflacres
attended with uniform circumftances,would
be a disgusting and unprofitable taflc ;
though the lingular courage with which
every fufferer submitted to his fate, will
be recorded as an unparalleled precedent
of the influence of sceptical enthusiasm.
Atheism, fays a great experimental mo
ralist, islefs pernicious in its practical ef
fects than superstition. Had Lord Bacon
been now living,he might have seen reason
to rctraft his opinion. The gloomv irre
ligion of France may enter fuccefsfully in
to competition with the fanaticifm which
Mahometan imposture & Papal ignorance
inspire ; and in the votaries of all we may
remark the fame desire of difleminating
their opinions,the fame resentment against
those who presume to difient, and the
fame indifference in infliih'ng and yielding
to the stroke of death. Connected with
this sentiment, and in the intervals which
can be spared from the more serious busi
ness of proscriptions andaflaflinations, the
unextinguifhable frivolity of the national
character bnrfts forth with renovated
splendor. The institution of a new cal
endar j the erection of temples to mo
dern philosophy in lieu of those which
were consecrated to the Deity of Christi
anity ; and the worship of Parisian (trum
pets, arrayed in the insignia of the god
dess of freedom ; are the occupations
which diveriify the toils, and relax the
cares, of the legislators of France. And
the multitude ftied their blood on the
frontiers, or enjoy the revels of the me
tropolis, rejoice at the guillotine over the
lifelefs remains of their fellow-citizens, or
weep in the theatre at the exhibition of
fictitious woe, according to the varying ca
price of the di£t»tors by whom they are
directed.
Duit of Orleans
to the contempt and abhorrence of every
future generation. In the execution of
the wife of
we convey the severest cerifure which can
be pafled on his character. After having
long exhibited a portion of folly and wick
edness, of ambition and weakness which
rarely combine in forming the fame cha
racter, in his last moments he appears to
have derived some relief from the (lings of
an awakened confidence, in the fond hopes
of annihilation; and, with an affeCted
courage, pronounced the period of his
death to be the happielt of his existence.
Born to support the throne he helped to
subvert ; to protest the kinsman and the
king in whose deftruftion he gloried ; to
diffufe happiness over the land he assisted
to desolate ; in the pursuit of arbitrary
power he allied himfelf to a fa£tion by
which he was negleCted, contemned, and
murdered. Upon such an occasion, the
contemporary observer with confidence vi
olates the hallowed dignity of the tomb,
and transmits the
oeeding, their favorite republicanism is
destroyed, and a tyrannical anarchy ere£t
ed on its ruins. The diflipation of this
delusion may be attended by some popu
lar tumult more awful than any which
may have preceded it, and the whole of
the Nationol Convention, inflead of a -
wai;ing the tardy and uncertain vengeance
of the allied powers, become the victims
of the implacable hatred they have con
ceived against each other. To live de
spised, and to die unpitied, is the moll
heavy misfortune which can happen to
man ; and such a degree of misery is the
lot of only the mod profligate and aban
doned. When, therefore, we fay that

" Our political situation is alarming',
and requires the utmost wisdom and firm
nefs of mind ; violent exertions are made
to prejudice this country against France ;
and if poilible to provoke her to a war with
us—Never did Israel lull more after the
leeks and onions of Egypt, than many at
this day to get back under Britifti influ
ence ; indeed there appears to be more
tones now, than there was in 1775 ; par
ties run high, but the Republican interest
as yet prevails.
The Swiss cantons have renewed their
treaty with the Republic, and have en
gaged themselves by the new treaty to ob
serve the ftrifteft neutrality, and to ffua.'d
with a fufficient force, all the defiles"thro'
which the enemies could enter the territo
ry of the Republic ; that an army of six
ty thousand men, which before the new
treaty guarded those defiles, has now
marched into Lower Alsace.
The laws of the Republic, were in full
vigor, and had never yet, fmce the begin
ning of the revolution been so well obeyed;
the most perfect tranquility and harmony
reign every where : the 140,000 of re

age of 18, to 25, are to aflemble early in

Extract of a letter from a gentleman at

Ferriere had delivered up to the Piuflians
and Germans, have been retaken by the
Republicans, who have again entered the

army of the Lower Rhine have retreated.
The information received hy this fleet
is, That the internal affairs of France are
now in a regular and prosperous train ;
that the Army of the Pyrtnnees, after se
veral fuccefsful battles, had entcrtd. Spain,
and conquered the whole of Catalonia,
except Barcelona ; that so rapid were the
successes of the French arms in that quar
ter, there was little doubt but that bv this
time the Cargmanole dance was perform
ing in the environs of Madrid ; that the
batteries raised againfl Toulon bad suc
ceeded in cutting off the communication
between the inner and outer harbours,
which had reduced the town to the great
est ditlrefs for provisions, the garrison was
on an allowance of 4 oz. of bread per
diem; that Toulon had twice offered to
capitulate, but the Convention having
pa)[td a decree for its total deftru&ion,
the Republican General was determined
they (hould surrender at discretion ; that
the Prussian army in Alsace meeting with
strong opposition, had given up the design
of besieging Strafbouig, had recrofTed the
Rhine, and totally quitted the territories
of the Republic ; that in Austrian Flan

On their passage they have taken four
prizes, viz.—a frigate and a (loop of war
from the East-Indies, who were dispatched
express with the news of the capture of
Pondicheriy, and had on board the trea
sure and trophies taken there ; they also
captured a (hip in company with the above,
who had on board, (besides other pro

France under a fufficient convoy. The
