Saturday, June 15. Messrs. Pierce,

were appointed to join a committee from

of th& travel ana attendanceof the mem

gislature and their officers, and to enable
his Excellency the Governour to draw
money from the treafory for the contin

A great number of private petitions
were read,&c.
The excellent Sentiments expressed in the
following Extract of a Letter from a
Gentleman in Portland, to his Friend
in this Town, refled Honour on a true
Republican.
" June 2. I cannot forbear expreffag mj
grief at the check which the French arms have
lately met with : and as an aggravation to nr;
pain, accounts now Jay (and the, must be true)
that Dumourier has left the arm,, and ejeap
edt® the enemy. But all this does not di,courage
me. It was a maxim with the old Romans,
" Never to deJpair of the Commonwealth."
Thefalvation of the Republick does not depend
upon an, one man ; but upon the whole na
tion. Did we not, iri our ftrugglesfor Liberty,
experience man, gloom, moments ? Man, de
serted our cause in "the times which tried men's
souls." We had our difficulties to encounter
oar Arnolds to betra, us—butyet rose fuperi
our to ever, danger ! France must—she will
be free ; and all Europe, nay, all the
world, will follow her. Perhaps ,ou ma,
think this is Enthufiajm; but it is reall, ana
logical reasoning. The late American war was
viewed, by the world at large, in a more un
favourable light, than the present French rev
olution ; but ,et wefucceeded. We are now the
most happ, people under heaven. Wh, are we
so ? Becauje our government is a government
of the people, who are the only true fourceof
alllegitimate government. France opened
her eyes to this truth, and commenced a revolu
tion the most important that hifor, has ever
recorded. She will fan be (I trust) as happy
as America ; England, and the rest of Eu
rope, will gradually dijeover it ; and the
whole civilized world will, in time, set a
bout a reform : and this time, believe me,
is not far ofc It is but convincing the people
wherein thiir bappiyefs consists, and they will
purjueit."'
