PARIS, ) rfHE fitting of the Club
July 31. J of the Cordeliers, of the
„th inffant, has displayed a scene of hor
rid blasphemy and abominable wicked
ness, which stands unrivalled in the an
nals of hiftory. That fitting was wholly
devoted to the regulation of the ceremo
nies which are to be observed in transfer
ring the cankered heart of the iniquitous
monster Marat into the hall of that
club.
The blasphemous wretches, having giv
en a long description of the procession
which is to take place on that occasion,
wickedly & most profanely read a speech,
to which was affixed the Motto,
O Cor ,eJu! O Cor Marat !
O Heart of Jefut! O Heart of Marat !
In this blasphemous production, our Bless
ed Redeengr is compared with Marat:
the gentle do&rjnes of the Saviour of Man
kind, are put in competition with the
criminal exploits of the pretended friend
ofthe people. The Apostles, the Orator
tills jacobins and cordeliers— the publicans,
shopkeepers--and the pharisees, ariflocrau.
Horrid to relate! the infamous Author
asserts, that Christ is but a prophet,but
Marats God.,
When the dispatch left New
foundland the Button was refitted,
and it was supposed would in a few
days proceed on a cruise. Capt.
Morris, of the Pluto, at present
commands the Boston, and Lieut.
Edwards has the command of the
Pluto.
The consequences that have re
folded from the engagement of
these two (hips, are next to be tak
en into consideration. Capt. C.
was not, as has been said by some,
a tafh enthufiaftick man ; but cool
and deliberate in ^determinations.
He fiw, with becoming indigna
tion, the injury the British com
merce (attained from a single (hip.
He knew that British seamen had
often combatted with success a
gainst greater odds. And he was
not one of those prudent com
manders who are afraid to run some
rifle when an important object is to
be attained—Unfortunately as this
engagement terminated by the loss
of so valuable a man—the objed
he had in view has been almost
tompleatly realized. The dam
age the Ambufeade sustained, has
detained her in port, and prevented
her devaluations —the disputes in
Admiral Cambib's fleet have kept
them also quiet—till Admiral Gard
ner with his squadron has reached
the American coasts to complete
what Capt. Courtney had so gal
lantly begun.
Great applause is due to Lteut.
Edwards, who succeeded co the
command, as well as to Lt. Kerr,
and Mr. Lucky, the master. In
short they appeared all animated
by the spirit ot their departed com
mander, and could the Ambuscade
have been induced to follow the
Boston into the open sea, without
any other of the fleet, Citizen Bom
pard would not have been able to
report that the Boflon declined re
newing the engagement.
The Boston had 10 killed, and
24 wounded. One has since died
of his wounds ; the remainder had
almost all recovered, and returned
to their duty ; and the unlverfal
with of the flip's company is once
more to meet the Ambuscade.
sighs of grief and indignation were
foch at it is impossible with jufiice
to describe.
Latest Intelligence.
The fam: wretch, whose exifteace dis
graces the name of man, adds, that the
concubine of Marat imitated Maria
in the care (he took of the friend of the
people ; and that (he saved the God of
the republick from the dagger of La Fa
yette, by which he must else have fallen.,
Brocket followed this licentious blas
phemer, and said, "that our Redeemer,
having defended Kings, was not to be
compared to Marat, who had been the
most inveterate enemy of Kings and their
thrones."
This infernal fitting was determined
by an offer of Hen riot, the command
ant of the parijian fans culottes, who
promised to furnifh pinks, carnations, c,-
preffes and roses, to adorn the putrid core qf
Marat.

Extrafi of a letter from Leghorn, Jul, 18.
" The beginning ot last week a despe
rate engagement happened off the inland
of Corsica, between an Algerine frigate
and one belonging to the French Repub
lick ; they fought with the greatest brav
ery for five hours when night parted
them; the next morning, at break of
day, the conflid was renewed with equal
courage and the most determined obstina
cy on both sides, for upwards of nine glas
ses, great part of the time within pistol
(hot of each other. The Algerines made
several attempts to board, but were as of
ten beat off with great daughter ; yet so
daring and resolute were the pirates, that
they run their (hip along fide the French
in spite of all refiftence, and grappled
them so faft, that every effort to get clear
was in vain ; the infidels immediately
jumped on board sword in hand, swearing
bitterly, in several languages, they would
conquer or die, neither would they give
nor take quarter • the Republicans re
ceived them with great spirit and relolu
tion, when a most dreadful carnage en
sued with swords, pistols, javelins, and
lances, until at last the French were over
powered and obliged to strike to those
terrible barbarians: These bold pirates
loft, in both rencountres, upwards of two
hundred men, besides all their officers:
the boatswain was the last who had the
command ; this fellow, although wound
ed in several parts of the body, refufed to
quit the deck, and died as he was encour
aging the rest to fight. The French
mounted thirty guns, and the Algerines
twenty eight besides petteraroes, and
they were both in such a shattered condi
tion that it was next to an impossibility
either of them Should reach Algiers.
" P. S. The Algerine Capt. was (hot
through the head in the height ot the ac
tion, as tie was nailing the colours to the
mast ; and the firft and second lieuten
ants, whowere both his sons; (hared the
fame fate soon after ; it was also reported
that they both funk the next day and what
remained of the crew were taken by a Tu
nisian bark, and carried into Tunis-"
Costine was this morning removed
from the Abbey prison to that of the Con
ciergerie, and he is supposed to have al
ready had his firft hearing.
“ Some attack of importance is cer
tainly in agitation, as the 37th regiment
in garrison here, and the French emigrant
legion, have received orders to hold them
selves in readiness to march at a moment's
notice."

“ A very strong report prevails, that
Genera! O'MorAN, who commanded the
French troops in thf neighbourhood of
Dunkirk, has deserted them, and gone
over to the Dutch at Menin. In conse
quence of this, it is said his troops dis

possession of the camp which the French
occupied, together with their cannon, &c.
" Since the surrender of Valenciehnes,
large corps have assembled near Ypres,
Menin, and the neighbouring villages.—
The French at Dunkirk are in such con

the garrison has left it and the inhabitants
are ready to open their gates to the com

General Gibson, informing of the arri
val of Cornplanter's nephew, and two
other Indians, from the treaty ; and of
their forrqw for the loss of the chiefs dur
ing their journies, to and from the treaty.
Tnclofed in this letter was the following
I LISTEN to what lam going to tell
you. We are sent on by the Chiefs to
let you know what has happened since we
left this place. Our Warroirs and Chiefs,
a great number of them, are lying under
ground, and have undergone a great deal
ofhardfhip since we left this place; you
will let Gen Washington know, that
we Warriors have often turned out to
treat ; but now we will never turn out
again.
Now we will let you know concerning
the treaty held last summer with the
Sba^aneJe, at the Forks of the river. Last
summer we made an agreement to go to
the treaty ; this summer, Brothers, we
have tried long to make peace, but now
we find we cannot, so will never speak to
any of them again, as we have tried hard
to make peace, but could not do it.
Eight days ago, as we left that place, a
Delaware arrived, informed us, that some
of the Indians are gone to war, but did
not know to what part. Nearly all the
Warriors had gone to attack the army.
After our departure from them, they were
much vexed at our taking part with the
United States; we now held a council
with them, after the council of the hostile
Indians. Alexander M'Kee killed three
beaves, and gave it to them to make a
frolic. Three Chiefs have thrown off
their horns, and are all to be Warriors
alike, and no more Councli& to be held.
The Potto^atimies, and the fix nations
have all put their hands together, to be
oh t?e fide of the United States ; the
Sbawanefe,^,andots, Delawares, and Ta<w
athtaivias, are determined to be at a war
as long as they have a man ; their Warr
iors were willing to make peace upon the
United States giving up all their lands, on
the weft fide of the Ohio, and JUegban,,
from four miles from the river ; but their

lands were given up ; they would I be

FROM THE INDIAN COUNTRY. ,
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at New
jork, who was wi;b the emmiffioners at
the late proposed treat, with the hoftib In
dians, dated Newyork, October 41b, 1793'
'' Captain Ford arrived here yefterda,
,rm Niagara, which place he left on the \yb
ult. and came by the way of Ofwego. Here
latesfundry rircumflances, which may be novel
to,ou, and therefore I communicate them.
" Before he left Niagara Talbot,
Brant,ami She han, arrived there from
the Indian council at the Miamis. They re
port to the Governor, that as jo,n as the In
dians received the final message of the commis
sioners, the, diffatched a large part, commis
sioned to Jessee us, with orders to cut off cur
cases, ears, ^c. and to keep us prisoners until
apeace could be obtained t ^befe men arrived
at Caldwel's the morning after we failed.
I therefore congratulate your nose and ears as
well as my own. He #ays that Shehan,
(who is his brother in lawJ tock the care of
the Six Nations, in the absence of Col. But
ler; and that at an early period of the pri
vate council, he was called upon by Me. Kee
to know bis opinion in regard to the treaty.
His reply was, that be and the Six nations bad
come therefor the purpefe of peace, and fbould
urge it all in their power. That in confluence
of this, neither be nor Brant were once ad
mitted to the Indian councils ; but were term
ed Yankies— Upon this, Sheham and Me.
Kee bad ajerious quarrel. The above three
perjons bad reported to the Governour, that the
Indians were urged on to war in secret, and a
that Me. Kee andfendr, traderiwere at the%
bottom of it —That the Governour Was ex
tremely provoked at the coudua of the Indians ;
very much regretted not feeing you on your re
turn, and bad publickl, reprobated the coudua
ofMc. Kee. ,•

of the Indian council, 5000 Indians set out to
attack Wayne. This account is reported to
the Governour by the above three perfons.>
" Before the breaking up of the council, the *
Six Nations were called upon to join in the war ,
against the States ; tbey faidtbey must cenfult
their nations upon the bufinels —and a council
was appointed to be bold at Buffaloe Creek,
at which Mr Shehan was ordered to at

From Spain—aug. 18.
Last Saturday Captain Slewman,

from Cadiz, after a passage of 48
days. By him we learn, that the
Spanish fleet, 24 fail of the line,
arrived at Cadiz from the Mediter
ranean, on the Bth of August,
without having attempted any thing
against the French, being obliged
to return on account of a raging
sickness in the fleet, of which there
were from 6 to 8000 tick and
dead : they were several days in
landing their sick at Cadiz. They
left the British fleet, with which
they had been combined, failing up
