rirtHE recent Events of the Campaign in
I France hafe wholly disappointed the pro
jected Plan of holding a pacific Congress ar
Z&MmJ&rg—at least this Year. The French,
in the Career of their Spccefs, seem determin
ed to carry the most- unqualified Liberty
through Europe, and, extravagant; as it may
seem, talk of nothing but exterminating Ty
rants from every Corner of the civilized
World.
The English feemnot to have viewed with
a complaisant Dye the French maritime Ex
pedition to the Mediterranean. Letters from

The Number of fugitive French Priests now
in tl,js Country are really a Burden to the
Puolick*. Some of them^are preparing to go
to Canada, hoping to find the means of Sub
fiftance inthat Colony. It is melancholy to
&e the Change in many ; from rioting sump
tuously, now reduced to tatters and a Morsel
of bread. All, however, are not real Objeds
of Pity.: And the following Lines will aptly
apply to ont es the dignified, in whom the Pub
lick cannot be rniftaken:j
" He was so proud, that had he met
The twelve Apostles injhe Street,
He would have hooted at St. Paul,
And turn'd his Nose up at them all."

to June, 1784, the Commencement of
the present Indian War. He fhogld
move for other Amendments to the
Refolotion, that it should provide not
only for those who may fall by the
Sword, but for such as die in the pub
lick Service. He Should also t&for

ows and Orphans of the Officers of the
Militi& He considered it was a most
difgracefol thing to a Government not
to make Provision for the Families of
those who facrificed their Lives in the
Cause of their Country. I]
The Motion for (hiking out June
3,1784, was put and carried. The
other part of the Motion, to insert 4th
Day of March, 1789, was not put, be
ing fuperceded by a Motion for the
Committee's fifing— The Committee
rose, reported Progress, and the House
