The follow in r paragraphs are ftlefted.
from Mr. Morgan's pamphlet on " the pre
sent alarming state of the public finances."
" After a fruitlefs struggle of four years,
which has been signalized by a greater de
ftruftion of human life aed property than
ever before desolated the in the fame
length of time, and when every principle is
abandoned which we were firft. excited to
defend, we are now called upon to renetv
our exertions in a contest which holds forth
no determinate to be attained, and
offers no other profpexft of its conclusion,
than ih the utter ruin of those resources by
svhich it-is supported. The extravagance
and the disasters which so eminently diftifi
guifh this war, are not more fnrprifing than
the torpid indifference with which they have
been endured— an indifference which has
not only injured but even difgraeed the na
tion."
" One of the pretended motives of this
war, has been the defence and preservation of
property ', and it must afford some confolati
_on to the frieuds of differing humanity, to
be assured, that if it be continued a little
longer on the preficht system of expencfe, it
will be the last war we shall eve.- have occa
sion to wage on that account. It is but sel
dom, I believe, that the reaHnterefts o£"a
country derive much improvement or Sup
port from war and taxation ; and if any at
tack on our property was ever seriously me
ditated in the pr«fent instance, we seem fa
tally to have mistaken the quarter to which
our defence should have been directed ; for
while our efforts have been employed with
various success against the ravages of our e
neniies abroad,, they appear to have opposed
a very feeble resistance to the depredations
of our more formidable enemies at home."
" The effects of the heavy inpofts upon
wine are already felt in the diminished con
sumption of that article. By a comparison
of the imports of port wine in the half year
ending the sth of July, 1795, and the half
year ending July 5, 1796, it appears that
the value of the wine imported was reduced
from 383,5321. to 136,2291. By having
recourse to such methods df providing for
the interest of the public debts, the rriinffter
seems to be more anxious about having a
nominal tlian a real revenue.
PARIS, July 20.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Sitting of July 19.
Paftoret complained to the council of an
'article which had been published in the Re
dafteur, refpedtirtg the legislative bodies.
The article is as follows:—" A fort of
anarchy in the deliberations which ought
to be the molt solemn ; unreasonable moti
ons of order, the most fhameful prejudices
and fuperftition£ defended and caressed from
the tribune, when reason ought to have
wielded against the arms of perfuafioh ; a
lawless insubordination exctifed and encou
raged, who would believe it? by the or
gaifc even of these laws ; and the declarati
on of a refufal to obey them, recognized
as a motive for yielding to rebellion ; the
faithful priests delivered over to derision and
to vengeance, while the refraftory are un
pimifhed and protected by the formal aits
of the legislature ; the emigrants returning
with the banished, are preparing to' arm the
iedtaries in favor of the foreign enemy who
supported them in their exile ; the finances
occupying If fs attention thau bells; a re
port ith errors, which seemed to
hive exaggerated the disposable resources
for the purpose of eluding the establishment
of new resources, &c.
1 " Who will be surprised that we eon
' eeive unfavorable omens ? Ah ! though vo
lumts have been written in recounting the
tragical history of the calamities of the
revolution, it will be ho less terrible a task
to trace in perfpe£tive those which they are
preparing for us. Tacitus used to fay,
when speaking of the senators in the time
of Tiberius, " tempore ilia adeo infe&a,
Ut ortnes fenatores quicuncjue certatim ex
furgerent faedaque et nimia conferent."
These tiijies were so infe£ted with corrup
tion, that all the senators were seized with
a desire of delivering opinions as ridiculous
as they we're vile. Thus, adds the histo
rian, Tiberius used to cry every time that
he went out of the senate, 0 homines ad
fervitulem paritns ! Let us take care that
the times of Tiberius do not return."
" I (hall make no remarks upon the fore
going," said Paftoret, " but move that a
message be sent to the directory to require
of it an account of the measures which have
been taken to prosecute the author of this
article."—Decreed.
* Sitting of July 22.
On the motion of Gitbert DefmolJeres, a
project of a rtfolution refpe<fting"finanee was
adopted.
The executive direftory wrote that it was
ignorant who marked out the march of the
troops,and that they hitherto trusted citizen
Lefage, commiffarv of war, of Charleville,
to inform the municipal'officers of La Ferre,
of the arrival of these troops. • '
It invited the council to calife the circle
er distance to be traced, that no error may
take - place for the future. It adds that
some reckon La Ferte 'll, other* 12, and
ethers 13 leagues from Paris.
This message was referred to the eom
miffiori, and like wife the other, which was'
not read,' refpefting the state of the troops
in Paris, and which have passed within the
limits since the ift Meflidor.
The difciiflion upon political associations
was resumed.
. ' PARMA, June 21.
Yesterday morning we witnefled a cOrious
fcenc—about 200 republicans from Milan
presented themselves before Our gates, bring,-
lag with them a car in which was jin enor
mous branch of a tree crowued with a red
bonnet. The guards at the gate refufed
this party entrance j but fortunately a re
publican officer put an end to the tumult,
tiy removing the tree of liberty, under the
authority of Buonaparte's proclamation of
the 10th of this month, to prevent any
French or Italians disturbing the fuTajedts of
the duke of Parma.

Nantes, June 16, 1797.
SIR,
I take this opportunity of informing
you of oilr capture, vis : On the 25th May,
in lat. 49, 24, long. 12, 10, was brought to
by the ship Fawn, a French privateer, mount
ing 18 nine, and 2 twelve pouqders, and
j men answerable. They took charge of us
i without looking at our papers—exchanged
! men and officers, and convoyed us into
Nantz ; but if fortune had favored us to
have loft fight of her for one half hour, (he
had been our own again. The day after I
arrived at this place, the (hip Brifeis, of New
York, Uound to Amfterdani, was brought
in ; and fix dpys after, the ship Confedera
cy, from India bound to Hambro' was bro't
in also, and seVeral ships from Philadelphia
Charleston, and other ports in America are
here ; and there is no profpeft of either
/hips or cargoes being cleared ; for, as faft
as they try them they condemn them. Their ,
orders are, to take every American thev fall !
in with bound where they will, even if botund
to France, and let the Americans be furnifh-
I ed with all mid every paper that is requisite
relative either to .ship or cargo, it avails
nothing. Therefore you are very fortunate
not to fall in with any of thofc infamous
French robbers ; for so sure as you had, so
' sure France would have been your fate.—
But fortune and good winds have favoured
you, which I hope will always follow yoiK
AH my passengers have got their passport's,
and set off this day for England, by way of
St. Maloes. Ny doubt before this time*
you have heard of Capt. Haley's a

COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Sitting of the 14th Mcfiidor (July 12.)
Several merchants of Nantes, denounsed
the scandalous conduft of the Americans
since the beginning of the'war.
I have not read the whole document, an
extraft of which you havejuft now heard,
said Villiers, but I feel confident that it is
such as to fix your opinion on the pretend
ed motion of order made some time since by
your colleague Paftoret : This is not the
time to enter into a difcuflion on its merits j
but it will be easy to prove that the directo
ry had not only the right, but that it was
in duty bound to aft at it has done. You
cannot conceive how France hat fuffered
since the war. The tribunals do not dare
decide upon a multitude of cases now before -
them.
What cannot be contested by any one, is
that the 25 or 30,000 vessels formerly em
ployed in the trade of Great-Britain* are 1 '
Suddenly metamorpofed through the mod in
famous machievalifm, into American vessels.
I request that the denunciation be referred
to a commission which shall report within
three days.
And I, said Bergevin, move the order of
the day on the commitment for this reason,
that nothing would tend more to obftruft
the armaments now going on in our ports
with the utmost aftivity, than such a mea
sure.
Lenormint Seconds the motion for the
commitment but wishes it t0 be a special
commission.
The commission to whicl> was referred
the motion of order of Paftoret, said Camil
lus Jourdan, endeavours by every means in
its power to procure all the information it
can relative to the important duty with
which it is charged- The document irt
question may be of great use, and I'move it
be referred to it. Adopted. r

the theatre.
Was completely filled last Evening, and,
as was expe&ed, the After-Piece of .the
launch, received with the nioft enfhufiaf
'tic tokens of public approbation, ever echo
ed in a Theatre; —it was indeed a new fpe
cie3 of national drama, which has not been
surpassed in dialogue, music, or 1 scenery.
Mr- H'dgkinfon, ever industrious and judici
ous, has, in the instance of producing this
temporary piece, witnefled the liberality of
a community who are not unmindful of his
talents as an author, and who have long
known and admired his spirit as an Adtor

I Mont]ay, Sept. 20.
> "We are sorry to fay, that the contagi
,, ous diforder.heve, is by no means abated in
its malignant symptoms.—Three people de
ceafe'd yesterday, afld whole famih'es, in the
quarter of the town where its rages, have
felt its effefts. Several shops are (hut, and
many people are removing. It is laid to
have been brought by a veflel from ttie W.
Indies, the Captain of which, fcavirig some
cat tie die on board, unwisely tctok off their
; flcins, and, by aegleift, they became a mass
;of putridity. This is another proof that the
yellow fever maybe generated in warm clim
ates, by local causes; for, when the air be
comes tainted, it is unfit for refpirafion, and
; progreflively infefts the whole mass of blood.
We derive, however, some consolation, from
its not rapidly spreading to different parts '
j of the town, though few efci»pe an attack,
1 in the houses contiguous to that were it was
firft communicated. The Theatre was open
for the last time, on Monday, when about
a dozen only attended, the Manager thongßt
it high time to close the scene, for the season.
The inhabitants of Newport, begin to fear

Many circumflanccs combine to (hew that
the complaint which unhappily exists in

which rages in Philadelphia.—Baltimore is
also said to be infedted with the yellow fever.
—We fee no late accounts in confirmation
of that published a week or two ago, an
nouncing the death of ten or twelve persons,

and we are now inclined to hope the infor

While we lament the calamities which
have lately visited many sea-port towns up
on the continent, we are happy in having it
in our power to congratulate the inhabitants
of Richmond, upon the state of health,
which they at present enjoy, in so eminent a
