Xnoft eoanncing proofs of the imposition
and villany of the commifTaries of cloth
ing of the republican armies ; the conven
tion decreed that these commissaries should
be brought before the revolutionary tribu
nal, as well as the aristocrat minister of
War, to whose department the matters be
longed.
On motion of Billaud de Varennes it
was decreed that all the general officers
condemned to die by the revolutionary
tribunal shall be executed at the head of
the armies ; and that the above mentioned
commifTaries and assistant minister, if found
guilty and condemned, shall share the fame
fate. -
" We have to communicate to you the
interesting news of the total deftruftion
of the banditti on the right banks of the
Loire. There are here and there yet
some small remains of these monsters in
the interior parts of La Vendee, but as
bur armies are no longer obliged to di
vide themselves, they will undoubtedly
fo®n clear the whole country. Those
who solicit the Convention to prevent the
great measures of public welfare, and
try to inspire them with a falfe compas
sion, are either traitors or egotists. If
yoa had seen like me, what this fanatic
herd is capable of! Patriots thrown into
the fire alive, others cut and chopped to
pieces. Two days before the siege of
Angers, in a country which was suppo
sed to be all sacred to Libeity—three
hundred soldiers were afTaffinated by these
monsters, in the neighbourhood of Che
ir.eville, and nevertheless the evening be
fore they had cried Vive la Rcpubliqut ! !
and deelaved that they sincerely repented
of their errors ; and in different parts of
this uuhappy country, similar events have
taken place.
" My friend, I inform you that the
enemies are at last totally destroyed.—The
Generals, the Representatives and the ar
my which were in pursuit of them, are to
re-enter the city this day. The number
of banditti, which are brought in here eve
,ry day, these ten days pall, is unaccounta
ble ; they come in every moment. The
guillotine is too flow, and as this is the
fame cafe with (hooting them, which be
sides takes a great deal of powder and balls,
they have taken a measure of putting them
to a certain number into the holds of boats,
then conduct them to the middle of the
river about half a league from the city,
and then fink the boats. This operation
is going on conilantly. All thecaiffoons
and cannon, which the rebels had yet,
have been brought in here. Most all their
chiefs are killed; the ci-devant prince de
Talmon, duke dela Tremoille is said to be
taken; a fine prize for the guillotine in
deed. There will not one of the banditti
be left alive, for not one is pardoned, an A
this is highly necefTary. Some detach
ments of our troops are yet searching all
the villages in the neighborhood of Save
ray.becaufe there are arms found here and
there, and some of the banditti, who have
concealed themselves in howfes, but these
are few ; not above 600 in all have.afcap
ed, and these will certainly be re-taken.
Ancennis, Angers, St. Florent and other
places are full of prisoners, but they would
not be long so; for they will certainly
soon receive the Patriotic baptism."

A veflel is arrived at Baltimore which left
Rotterdam the 7th January—in the Britilh
channel Ihe was boarded by several Britilh
Cruiiers, from whom no injury was fuitained.
We hear that the French Minister has de
clared that the French Government will al
low and pay damages for the detention of
the American veflels at Bourdeaux —at the
rate of twenty five livres per day, for each.
A correspondent fays that notwithstanding
the late denunciation, certain perfoni are
loading their veflels with the produce of the
country, with all poflible expedition, and for
Britilh ports too Calculating on an em
bargo here, and no risque abroad —flour at
laor 1 j dollars a harrel—no doubt an East
India voyage may be made.
A gentleman who left England ,the 14th
December, fays that no idea of a war with
the United States was in existence there at
that time.

Major Samuel Hays, Capt. Thomas Ward
a nd William S. Pennington, were appointed
a committee, to fee that the proceedings of
this meeting and the institution be publiihtd.
The Mafler of a veflel arrived here from
St. Euftatia informs, That previous to hit
leaving that place an account was received
that the Britilh fleet and army in the Weft-
Indies had made an attack on Martinico ;
that in attempting to land on a place called
Pigeon Ifiand, which was strongly fortified,
they had loft near aooo men ; that the Ad
miral's ship was much disabled—and that
they finally retreated, and had left that place
Sunday lall arrived here, in 30 days from
Curracoa, the schooner Zer uiah, Capt. Met
calf Bowler. He left at Curracoa the brigan
tines William and George, Buckley, of Far
mington (Con.) —Friendftiip, Haff- New-
York, and John, Cooper, of Philadelphia—
and schooners Winthrop, Lombard, of Bos
ton, and Mary, Caftan, of Philadelphia.—
Capt. Bowler was, on his passage home,
boarded by a British frigate, by a Letter of
Marque, from London,and by a Bermudian
privateer—who after examining his papers,
difmifled him. The Mailer of the Letter of
Marque informed him that he had a few days
before spoken a British privateer, fitted in
the Weft-Indies, the Captain of which said,
he had orders to take all American veflels,
having French property on board, or provi
sions, and bound to or from a French port.
Colonel Matthias Ward waschofen Chair
man, and William S. Pennington Secretary.
The propriety of inflituting a Republican
Society in this Town was taken into conlider
ation, and after some deliberation it was
agreed to with only one diflenting voice, and
the plan of the inft.tution after being consi
dered article by article was unanimously
agreed to, and signed by upwards of thirty
persons.
At a meeting of a refpetftable number of
inhabitants of the Town at Mr. Seabury's
Tavern, afiembled in consequence of an ad
vertisement contained in the Newark Ga
zette of this day.
Orders have been given by the British
Lords of Admiralty, to all their comman
ders, to capture after the ift day of Ja
nuary, all neutral veflels whatever, bound
to or from France, or the Islands of Mar
tinique, Guadaloupe, St. Domingo, &c.
which are declared to be in a ttate of
siege. A similar order has been given
by the French Minister of Marine, to
capture all vessels bound to any of the
belligerent powers. In both cases, the
order extends only to those veflclsf having
provisions, naval (lores, &c. on board,
and which the laws of nations authori
se. The French are said to have captu
red 13 fail of Danilh (hips, laden with
provision. Which nation issued the firtt
order, is not known ; but each nation
charges the other with beginning.
Every year France imported iix million
pounds of foreign wool for the making
of cloth. She has (hut up her ports, and
matters of the fii tt neceflity are absolutely
wanting.
In consequence it has been ptopofed to
eftabllfh new manufaitoiics of cloth, in
which {hall be used only two-thirds of
the wool of animals, and one third of the
hair of meu and women. A petition was
made, praying the Convention to autho
rise these eftablifliments.—Referred to the
Commitee of Commerce.
We are allured, that afterwards the de
cree was pafled, and that there will be a
general (having in the republic, which,
fays the author of the gazette, will to
the epithet of Sans Culotte, add that of
Sans Cheveux.
ExtraS of the Journal de France, publi/b~
It was a custom among the Romans, to
trust the care of the Republic to the Most
Tried and Experienced men. It might
perhaps be wife for America to pursue a
similar policy.
Youth is naturally fond of action and
innovation. At that period of life, Am
bition appears in all its charms:—Until
men are cured of its follies, they certainly
are not the most fit to be entrusted with
the happiness of a nation. Among the
ancient Germans, the Old ruled in the
Council the Young executed in the
field.

The rendering of matrimony a pre-re

also, of producing the best effetts: Per
haps no man can feel fufficiently his so

country, who is not bound by such fkrong
and endearing ties.
Accounts from Jeremie by Capt. De
wer (late, that there was no embarrass.
ment in the way of doing business at that
place.
That on his passage home he was board
ed by several Britiih cruisers, who after
examining his papors left him. That it
was true 2 or 3 American vefTels had
been sent down to Jamaica from Hifpajii
ola—and that it was reported that anns
and ammunition had been found 011 board
of them, which was afligned as the realon
of their being thus treated.
Capt. Dewer heard of no general or
ders for fending all American vessels down
to Jamaica.
Accounts of the depredations on our
commerce, and detentions of our vessels
are perpetually received in all the Ameri.
can ports, by arrivals of our own vessels.

The Romans took particular pains to
inftrudt their youth in the social institu
tions, and the mod celebrated Republics,
and they were ftnt to learn and imbibe on
the spot, every thing which might conduce
to the liappinefs of their own country.
The young men of our itate poflcls ge
nius, generotity, and courage : Alimilar
fyllem of education, might render them
invaluable members of foeiety.
The noblest examples of Republican
virtues now existing, are to be found in
the New England Slates. Theie our youth
cculd not fail to. imbibe lefibns—perhaps
superior to those formerly furoiihed by
Athens itfelf. A sojourning among thefc
virtuous people, previous to any public em
ployment, might be attended with the
moll beneficial effects.
