^satoho at the sanguinary Con
- vention of France, (the Commis
sioners,) in leaving to his Order the
Frigate, in which he embarked,
. caused him to appear before the
Convention, in order to be tried—
The Convention referred his Trial
to the Tribunal of Paris, who also
had the Charges against Colonel
Cambefort, arid Officers under
Cognizance. The Tribunal ac
quitted Cambefort and his Offic
ers, to the Diffatisfadion of the
Convention ; who looking upon
the Deofion as too great a Mark
of Indulgence, ordered a new rev
olutionary Tribunal to take Cog
nizance of the Prosecution against
Gen. Blancheland —and in 48
Hours he was tried, condemned,
executed, and his Property confif
cared—notwithstanding the consti
tutional Law against the last Part
of the Sentence."
June 28.—We hear from Ja
maica, Long IQand, that a little
Child of Mr. Betts, being at play
in the graft by the door, picked up
a small Toad, and played with it,
the mother discovered the Child
having it in its mouth, but too late,
although all methods were taken,
yet the child began to swell and di.
ed on the fifth day.
If, in the Course of human Events, it foould
.Jo happen, that there are any amongst us, who
want the Force of Example, to animate them,
on this great and ever memorable Day, let him
turn his Eyes to yon bright Luminary of War,
[pointing to President Washington's
Picture] inwhoje Character, the Conduct of
Emilius, the Coolness of a Fabius, the
Intrepidity of an HA NNI BA L , the indefati
gable Ardour and military Skill of a C^sar,
are united : Let not the Name oj Brutus,
or Camillus, be remembered, whilst that
of Washington is to be found in the An.
nals of America, great in the Cabinet, as in
War, he foines with unparallalled Splendour
in every Department of Life ; and whilf his
Abilities, as a Statesman, and a General, ex
cite oar Wonder, his disinterested Patriotism,
and domeftick Virtues,, command universal
Veneration.--
After which, the Gentlemen partook
of an elegant Collation, provided for the
Occasion—and afte'r Dinner the following

1. Our Country arid perpetual Liberty.

gwy ork, informs' that the great,
ft Contusion reigned in all the
riding Towns of England-—-
bag Trade.was nearly at a Stand,
I Classes being fearful of each

lad failed in London, to an A
mount nearly equal to the whole
circulating Cash in that Country,
lay 14,000,000 Sterling—that the
Bank of Newcastle had stopped
Payment—and that between 10
and 20 Perlons had been clofelf
confined in Dundalk, for freaking
n Favour of the French Revolt
cion.
it is probable, that, in one way or the bth
©r, this tingle Cam paign will cost Eng
land thirty millions Sterling.
In the mean time, the Miniver and his
Myrmidons are busy in telling the Pub
lick, that one Year more will end the
War, and thatthe national Debt is annu
ally diminiihing, by ten hundred thou
fahd Pounds. But; unfortunately, it re
quires an uncommon Gulph of Faith, to
believe either of these Affertiofe. " Lene
me ten Guineas and I shall pay back
one," is at least not a very good Wayto
discharge a Debt ; arid as for the French
War lasting but a single Year, it is a Case
without precedent to English Hiftory for
the last five Centuries.
The War is like to last as long as tie
Government of England can borrow Mon
ey to support it. When that Resource
fails, the Problems of Monarchy and of
funding must be solved together by a
National Convention, a Revolution, an<
a Republick. ' Da. Adv,

ELIZABETHTOWN, June 19.:
Os the Monies appropriated by Con
grefs, in part Payment of the French
Debt, the President, on the Desire of M.
Genet, has directed the advance of a
million of Dollars.
The present Campaign will cost the
English Nation, at least, eight million
Sterling, besides the loss of Lives and
Merchant Ships, & Bankruptcies, which
last had, four Months ago taken Place,
0 the Extent of twelve millions Sterling.
This was their own Computation in
March last, and the Sum is most likely
doubled by this Time. c-, #
Ona reasonable Estimate, Britain rhay
lose, in the firft Year of the War, §oc
Vessels at Sei. Indeed, about i§o were
feiz^d at a single Stroke, in the French
Harbors. If these 600 Vessels are worthy
at an Average, 3000 Pounds, the Sum
total is exadly two million of Guineas.
If we confider all these CircUmftances,
BOSTON, June 20.—8 y care
fully petufiog the English papers
by the Sally, from Bristol, to the
7th of May last, we have the fatis~
faction of laying before our readeh
the following summary, the authen
ticity of which we presume will not
be controverted. Upon this ab
thaa, we flatter ourselves, the pub
lick will perceive, thatthe accouut
current is highly in favour of our
illustrious Allies, our former com
panions in arm#, 1 and our present
affuciates in the field of liberty.
By the last accounts, the fituatiori
of the French armies, it will be re.
mr mbered, was not thorough un
derstood, either upon the Rhine,
of which the cities of Mentzand
Landau are the principal fortifica
tions ; or in Elanderty of which
Lisle, Valenciennes snd Conde, are
the garrisons. It was not even cer
tain, whether the detection of then
late Geo. Dumcurier, had not
extended its baneful influence to
(hefepfe^ so as to facilitate g@
fafrendgtipg to ghe Auftriaos, of
iihich the British papers had an
nounced the probability. Nothing
of this nature, however, appears to
have taken effeft by the present
intelligence. On the othe k „_
the number of the troops in either
of them^ wfflfeppofcdjby the Na
tionil.- (^Q&D&Kmfrfi fofeient to
hold a long and obftinne siege, if
not wholly to frufare the inten
tions of the German army. The
battalion^ of France were recruiting
faft on, the frontiers, and the fold
ters discovered in their daily 'fkir
mifh'rng, and io fame aai6ns of
magnitude, the most heroic cour
age. Heroic we call it—because
the official accounts of the Prince of
Saxe Cobourg acknowledged it
to have been obstinate—an expres
sion of the utmost force in the
mouth of an enemy. The French
indeed, like the Americans, have
washed away the Bain of imputed
cowardice, with the blood of theif
enemies.
It appears, by these papers, that
ffe Germans are negotiating by
proclamations, which change the
ground in fovor of the French, as
he difficulties in the way of entire
Subjugation augment. What, for
example, is moreoppofite than the
declarations of the Duke of Bruns
wick and Prince Cobourg—
One was to burn and destroy Paris,
if even one of the Royal Family
was irjured. The latter wishes for
peace upon the terms and ftipula
tiohs of the firft Constitution which
the people had adopted, and which
abolishes all the privileged orders.
It was just so in An erica—ln the
firft place, unconditional submission
was offered—then conditional—
and afterwards unconditional Inde
pendence. Pray Heaven, the e
vent may be the fme with the
French, as the happiness of the
world, perhaps the txiftence of civ,
il liberty, even here, depends upon
their maintaining their freedom.
' In one of the Erfglifh papers, it
is said, that the German* have loft
by s&ion, fickneft, death and de
lertion, al least a third of theif
army, since the campaign opened
in Feb. last.— It is certain, at any
rate, that feme of the battles were
Severe and bloodv; and every bo
dy knows the dangers the health
of soldiers is exposed to by their
being early in the field.

" A Friend to the Fair Sex"—He aft
feds to be mightily affronted, in Behalf
of the Ladies., with the Author of the
PETITION in a late Paper—which we
thought to be very unmeaning and harmleh
—and we must beg leave to differ in sen
timent, with this Friend, so far, as, that
we entertain too favourable an opinion of
the ingenious Fair to suppose there is one
in town so credulous as to think herfelf
insulted by that "Stuff." We cannot ad
ipit such opprobrious,har/h and unpolilh
ed language into the Mirrour, as he is
pleased to use on thisftyZf occafirn—and
b sides, the Friend himfelf asserts that
thtrauthor of that Petition is not worth
noticing ; we have therefore filled the
space which his Answer to the Petition
would have occupied, with articles less of
fenfive to Medefty.——But, Should this
Friend to the Fair Sex, continuefaafor
bis purpose, rat will acquaint him with the
Author of the^Petition^ and he may then
apply his fool as his /eifoe wifi permit
jet we would in friendship just remind him
of the old. adage, that he who leaps an
hedge in thefoil, may fall iti a ditch on
the other fide.
