SUMMARILY.
From ibe (Boston) Chronicle.
By the late London papera, it appears
that great uoeafinefi prevail! in Paris,
in consequence of a division of senti
ment tefoediog the re-eledion of two
thirds' of the Convention. The ac
counts are painted in the (harped col
ours by the English writers ; but no
conclusion can be drawn from them,
as to the red Race of France. ^ No
doubt every thing would be laid by
them, to place the affairs of the Re
public in the worst point of view.—
This has ever been the practice of the
^ British, but hitherto the event has
proved the folly of their accounts.
The Ministerial papers are employed
. for this purpose, and in Short, the
Minefters are now reduced to this
pitiful alternative—They are obliged
to make war on paper, while their
troops are, vanquished, and while the
powers which were in league with
them, are quitting their service.—
By late accounts, the French are vic
toripus in every qirter, the Mioifters
know this, and are obUged to bouy up
the fpirita of the people, that some
hopes remain to them by reprefemiog
commotions io France.
Ilia possible, however, that the, ac
counts are true,; but it is more proba
ble they are falfe. The French Re
publicans know the worth of Liberty,
they have experienced the effect of
Despotism, and it cannot be supposed
at thia crisis of the Revolution, when
their armies are viaorious,'when their
allies are ftroog—when the British are
nearly exhausted —that they would
fail in accomplishing the great pur
poles for which they have been ,p
long contending. Impossible, they
-fliould, amid these favorable events,
lose Tight of thole objeds, which roof
ed them to a&ion.— The British are
sensible of this, and use their little arts
to fopport their desperate efforts.—
These are the only cordials left them
toadminifter to an expiring nation,
arid this cup of confutation is offered
by the fauleering hand of their Em
miffaties, to revive the dying British.

GENUINE REPUBLICANISM.

following genuinely Republican atidrefe of bis Ex
kUenc, the Governor to the L<Qfoture, are ex,reft
Jed these Patriotic and Fedral ffiimcno which

fbtre (a few turbulent Mobiles incepted, who are
governed by the Genius ,of Anarchy).—the great
body of the People, the Yeomanry, are peaceful,
contented, ba,„ —independent friends of Liberty,
Order, and Good Government —and will not be
influenced by the Refclues of Mobs.—Every man,
in whole be,cm glows one Jpark of the lout of bis
country, mufl read with pleasure the following
Speech —and in bis heart revere the Patriot-mind
which dilated it.
GENERAL COURT.
On Wednesday last the Han. Gen. Court
of this State, met in this town, agreeably to
their adjournment in June last —His Excel
lency the Governor, arrived in the evening,
escorted by a number of gentlemen, who
went as far as Pembroke to meet him
As there was not a quorum prelent to tranf
a& business, the Hon. Court adjourned till
to morrow, (Dec. 3,) when both tioufes be
ing assembled in the Reprefenta lives' Cham
ber, His Excellency the Governor, came in
and delivered the following truly Federal
and Patriotic
SPEECH:
Fellow Citizens, of the Senate and of
the Haufe of Representatives,
IT affords me much pleasure to meet you
at this time, to which the General Court
was adjourned agreeably to your request.
This being the season of the year, when it
is thought most convenient for the Lecifli
ture to assemble, for the purpose of difehatg
ing the important duties assigned them—
your attention will naturally be called to the
circumstances of our affairs as a State, and
as we are united with the other States by the
Federal Compact. -When we contem
plate the gracious indulgence of the Su
preme Governor of the Universe, in con
duaing the American people through their
arduous conflid for freedom.—The happy
privilege we enjoy in forming systems of
^Government —enabling Laws, and making
regulations for promoting the general good
of the community When we view the
general prosperity of our country—the high
degree of honor the. United States have at
tained under the adminiftrafion of our Fed
eral Government—The opportunity that all
classes of citizens have of enjoying happi
ness in a degree scarcely known in other na
tions—with hearts filled with gratitude, v?e
ffiould endeavor to perpetuate these happy
privileges.
We are all under solemn engagements to
fupportthe Constitution of this State, and
the Constitution of the United States ; this
we may esteem not only as our duty, but as
a high privilege that we have so good systems
to support—ls any defeats are discovered in
them, the method of obtaining remedy is
pointed out Notwithstanding these cir
cumstances, there is reason to apprehend
that some persons, in various parts of the U
nited States, are inimical to the system of our
general Government, and to the administra
tion—Sundry transactions heretofore have
had fuch.an appearance—Of late, a negoti
ation, a proposed agreement with a foreign
nation, though incomplear, has, by a breach
of official confidence, been ulhered to the
public—fuppokd defects in the instrument,
have been Seized on with avidity. The Ex
ecutive of the United States, and the nego
tiator on the part of America, have been
highly censured in indecent publications,
and otherwise, previous to the public's hav
ing knowledge of the reasons, which might
lead to such a negotiation—but I will not
add to this difagreeablecatalogue—toomuch
is already known.
Will Americans entertain an idea (with
out proof) that.the President of the United
States, after having rendered them such im
portant, disinterested services, in War and in
Peace, has now become their enemy ? Shall
the (acknowledged able) Negotiator be so
ill treated ? Shall Senators be burned in ef
6gy, f° r ^ Opinion officially given ? And
all this when the reasons which induced their
conduct are unknown—Shall the Liberty of
the Press, our pride and our boast, be con
verted to Licentiousness ? Surely Virtue and
Love of our Country ffiould forbid such
things.-
Our system of National Government orig
inated from the only true source of all civil
government, the ^reat body of the People—
It must be the hightft wisdom to support
this system—to fopport those who are ap
pointed to adrainiiter it, so long as we are
destitute of any evidence of malpractice.—
Let us not be ungrateful to those who have
done so much for our common country — Let
us not be ungrateful to the Supreme Gover
nor of nations, who has favored us with op
portunities and Advantages unknown to ma
ny others; bat beseech him to turn the
hearts of all to the ^a, of truth, peace and ;
happinefs. r
For toy own part, I freely declare, that my
confidence in the President, the Negotiator,
and the Senators, (who it is laid advised to
the ratification of the treaty) is not in the
least degree impaired; and I find myfelf
more zealoudy engaged to fopport the Gov
eminent and Adminiftrafion than heretofore
—believing, as I do> that attempts are mak
ing to destroy it.
Should any think I have unnecessarily In
troduced this fubjed, I can only fay, it is
with me a fixed sentiment, that our conftiru
ents have a right to expect from us an ek
plicit avowal or principles, and our opinion
refpe&ing the situation of their public af
fairs at all times, when particular circum^
stances make it necessary, and that such is
the present crisis.
A particular state of the Treasury will be
laid before you, and you willjudge whether
any further orders are necessary refpeCting,
the difeharge of the debts yet remaining due
from the State— and whether it will s^net
tffary and proper to assess a tax the ensuing
year.-
Our Constitution provides for a due and
prompt adminiftraticn of justice—This the
people have a right to expert.—lt is also
necessary that every fcrvant of the public
ffiould have an equitable reward for his ser
vices-— This is the most suitable method
of obtaining and keeping faithful men in
office—lf you should be of opinion that any
compensations heretofore established (in con
sequence of the high prices of the necessaries
of life, and from any other causes) become
inadequate, you will determine what is right
to be done.
The Law by which the Courts of Sessions
were abolished, having transferred the befi
nefs of those Courts to the Judges of the re
fpeaive Courts Is it not necessary that
compenfarion should be made the judges
for these new duties ?
The prefect tranquility and happiness, as
it refpe&s the internal concerns cf this state,
and your intimate knowledge of the various
circumftinces of our Laws and Administra
tion, make it pnneceffacy for me to be more
particular:—The Constitution has pointed
out to us various general and particular du
ties ; and I Ihall esteem it a pleasure to unite
with you in making all such laws and orders,
as will tend further to promote the happi
ness of the community..

Si r, I am happy to inform you, that bd.
the 3d inff. Joseph Donaldson, Esq. Arcbaf
fador from the United States, graved at thit
city, and on the 4th had his firtt audience
with the Dey, and on the sth fettled arid con
cluded a Peace with him, which was an
nounced the fame day by the discharge of 21
guns from the marine battery, arid hoiftirg
the American colours on board of a vessel in
the harbour=bdt I am fofry to ^dd that it
will be two months before we expert to get
ourirons off, as there is not at this time any
vessel to put the unfortunate victims on bo^rd.
It will yet take some time before there can be
any thing done with the other regencies of
Tunis and Trippoli—however, I make do
doubt it will all be accomplished by next
spring, so as the American Rag will be free
in these seas.
I am in hopes by the time this comes to
hand, we fhMl be on cur passage home.
