Several people appeared' at the bar, one of
whom, M. Chenier, thus addressed the As
sembly :—" Legislators ! At a moment when
a national Convention is about to raise the
french Constitution to the level of the Declara
tionof Rights, those who, in different coun
tries of the world, have enlightened mankind,
and contributed towards the progress of Lib
erty, ought to be confideted as allies of the
french people. This alliance you must strength
en by aglorious adoption. When Rome became
free,' and mistress of the world-had fubjeded
all the thrones of the universe, Kings solicited
the honour of being raised to the dignity of
roman citizens. It is not tyrants that we pro
poje to adopt in the name of the french people, but
daring philosophers, who have sapped the founda
tions of tyranny. Decree to virtuous talents and
love of liberty an illustrious qnd worthy reward,
and let the, Benefa&m, of Mankind, be declared
french citizens, Among those benefactors, we
ought particularly to diftinguifo those whoje enlight
ened -writings bave tended ta, procure liberty to
America, and to prance— Paine,, the immortal
author of, Common Sense, and of that excellent
work. The Rights of Man—MADDISON, who
has explained with great depth the System of Rea
son—Dr. PRIESTLEY; who has acquired as
much glory by his misfortunes, as by bis virtue and
hisgenius—Mackintosh, ^ho has with great
eloquence and ft rength of reasoning refuted the am
plifications of Mr. Bu RKB againftthe french revo
lution — Pvtallozy, Malachouski, and
others, have doubtle/s contributed to diffufe light
«uer the globe, and do honour to the preJent genera
^." —[Applauded.]
Messrs. Vergiaud arid GAVDET frcngly
fapborted the motion, and after a warm debate, the
Affmbly decreed, "That the title of French Cit
izen Jho^ld be granted to fab foreign writers and,
philosophers @s have honoured thefrench resolution. '

Should the pruffian and auftrian troops
march beyond the frontiers into France the de
sertions of the french armies will soon thin
their ranks. The auftrians on all occasions
heve manifested their partiality for the cause
of the french, and theproflian soldiers are such
slaves, that they will be happy to join the ban
ners of freedom, where they shall be fuffered
to ad and think like men, and enjoy the bles
sings of free citizens. The pruffian army are
so encumbered and the men are so averse to
fight against the french that if they meet with
no impediment from the enemy, they will re
quire several weeks before they can reach Pa
ris. If the french are not too impetuous, it is
probable that they will have the power of mak
ing their own terms, though the enemy should
invade their country. If their generals agree
to fight on the defensive, they must harrafs the
army of exprinces and their allies, more than
people in general are aware of.

The Repuhjick of Venice, by a resolution of
the 24th of Ji?y, forbid french vessels to en

the french ambaffadour, adding, it was taken
in order to observe the ftrideG neutrality.

YESTERDAY several letters were
received in town from the weftern frontier of
Georgia, which inform that the indians are per
petually committing petty depredations in
that part of the country ; and, that a formi
dable invasion is hourly expeded.
Captain Roberts has advanced about
eighty miles from the Rock Landing to a situa

Cherokees, where he is busily employed erecting
block houses. —Soml indians having lately
stolen ten horses fronrthe inhabitants on the
Georgia fide of the Oconee, Captain Roberts
ordered a detachment of his troops in pursuit
of them ; they came up with the indians, and
had a small engagement with them, in which
one of the soldiers was wounded.

Baltimore county, to a gentleman in this town,
dated the loth ii#ant.
" Thelate severe froft in this neighbour
hood Has destroyed nearly one half of cur to
bacco. —The crop had the worst appearance
before this happened, of any within my mem
ory, and the county in general will not make
above one half of the usual quantity.
'' I am of opinion that not one thousand
hogsheads, will be carried ro EI& Rtdge inspec
tion next year.
"I understand the froft has done equal
damage in all the other counties where the
fine tobaccoes are made. We have also been
particularly unfortunate in this neighbour
hood in curing our tobacco this season. A
number of tobaccohoufes have been burnt
down, in attempting to make fine tobacco—
I believe upwards of one hundred hogsheads
have been loft by such accidents.
" I fold my crop this year too early, and
sincerely wish I had whipped it.—The holders
of fine tobacco in Europe, if they do not fell
till next year, will be able to get what price
they please."
Extra&of a letter fromPatuxent, dated the \2tb
infant.
" The damage done by the late froft is now
too well known amongst us ; and,on a general
average,nearly one third of all the present crop
of tobacco in Annarundel county, particularly
this neighbourhood, is destroyed. ' There ne
ver was so gloomy a propped for the planters ;
and those who have Shipped their crops this
year Should give pointed orders to their
friends in Europe, not to fell them too soon.
"I was at Georgetown a few days ago, and
find the damage in Montgomery county is even
greater than with us; and have reason to
.thinly it is general in the state, particularly
where the fine tobacco is chiefly made"
Oriober 17. —On Wednesday the President
of the United States, with his Lady and suit,
arrived here from Mount Vernon, 04 his way to

Indian Intelligence. 1
By a letter from Kentucky dated the fourtl
of August, we learn, that about a fortnigH
preceding, sixty indians had crossed the bi.
river (Ohio) on a predatory expedition; on
information of which, thirty men inftantlU
turned out, arid went in quest of their trail-,
and on the evening of the second day thm
came in fight of twelve of the enemy crofti
the Rolling Fork ;—it being then late, it
judged prudent to wait until morning to at|ac#
them.—Before day-break the commanding
officer sent forward fix of his men to com.
mence the aaion, while the remainder follow,
ed close in the rear—the van soon came um
with the indians, and a finart skirmish enfuedn
which continued until the main body of tin
Kentucky men came up; on which the indiae
fled, with the loss of four killed and two ba#
wounded, who remained on the field—tU
whites loft one man and had two flight^
wounded.ffl

" Culpepper, Oriober 7, 1792, d
" In the upper end of the Culpeper, in ihrid
neighbourhood of the R< ^d M^taij, oct
Sunday evening last, was committed a n^fu
shocking and inhuman murder, by 13vuq
Yowell, on the body of Nancy CfAßk,fl
young woman about sixteen years of age.|
This barbarous outrage was done by Yowell ,
in the presence of the young woman's moth-4
er, and several other people, who could not I
prevent him from imbruing his hands in inno-1
cent blood. The young woman's mother, 1
after feeing iff daughter receive the
Wound (by a knife) which was not mortal, #
tempted to refeue her daughter, if possible pl
though Yowell, on her coming within hisj
reach, gave her a very severe ga/h with his 4
knife, on her right cheek, quite to the bone :]
He then, without hesitation, put an end to thel
young woman's existence, by cutting herl
throat in two places, ang splitting her bread,
through to the bottom of her body; cut a
gafli across her right fide,which let out her en
trails, and gave her several other wounds,
which were mortal. The perpetrator of this
heinous crime immediately attempted to cut
his throat, in which he succeeded so far, as to
cut his gullet and windpipe, in which situa
tion he now lies, attended tya g^rd^ppoin^
ed by the fheriff, by ordefot the coroner, unr
til he gets so far recovered, as to be removed
from his own house to the county goal."
