Revolution in Geneva—continued from frf
page.
On Sunday the 20th, the Revo
lutionary Conim-itee, named by
the Clubs, publilhtd the follow
ing
PROCLAMATION :
“ Equality, Liberty, Independence.
‘ 4 K^ ^lutionary Citizens! The ,
Revolution of the zß.h of Decem
ber, 1792, was more ferViceable
to the Aristocrats jhan to the Re.
volutionifts. The former, always
incorrigible, and invariably the
enemies of liberty, have fullered
no abatement of their criminal,
hopes and liberticidal pretensions,. •
The moment is now arrived, when
the Re volutionifts, wearied with
hving among men who have not
cel fed for a moment to be injmi
cal bothUo th^m and the French
Republic, have been forcedco rife ,
for the completion of the work |
which had newly been entered on,
and to ensure the everlasting tri
u nph of the principles of equality,
. jn our country.
“ Revolutionary Citizens,.your
moderation has hitherto merely *
Served to infnare you, to embolden
the Aristocrats, and give consist
ency to their culpable views. It
is time that the people should have
justice done •, and with this inten
tion the Revolutionary Committee
RESOLUTIONS OF THE
Democratic Society.
RESOLVED, that in the hurfy of bu.
finds many things have been over
looked by this Society, particularly the
names of things invented in times of A*
riftocricy aid Monarchy.
Rclolved, that Cider Royal, be Jenom
inated Democratic Cider. That the crown
of a hat, and the crown of the head, be
called the scalp of the head,, and the scalp
of the hat.
That the King poll in building be call.
*Cu the Chief poll.
That the King and Queen on cards, be
called ob and Joan >
Relolyed, that all royal and kingly words
{hall be changed in the bible, by thole of
the. Club, who may happen to ute that
book, except where the D—l is called the
frtnee of darknefi—Aut he being an arrant
^rjltocrat, has an undoubted right to retain
his princely name.
Resolved, that all crown pieces or other
coins of gold or silver bearing crowns, be
delivered to the PrefiJenc pf rhe Society,
who will engage to diflblve them by rlie
lime or as good a process as Aaron did the
Golden Calf—to make beverage for the
Society.
Resolved, That the cutting off the head
of the President of the Democratic Society
at Paris, war a bad precedent.
The e nfidt ration of this has determin*
ed us further to resolve, that all perlons
.profdiing modem democracy or Jacobin
ifm be considered as immaculate, and a>
bqye all law, and that' it be recorded in
letters of gold that a profeffed Democrat
fan do no wrong.
WHILE discord feuds the casern
hcmifphere,
Ptace, .with her train of virtues, triumphs
here ;
Beneath her {miles fdir faience rears her
head,
And. all the arts their various treasures
fp.read :
The Ikies benignant shed their genial
power.
And plenty in a rich profufion ihower t
Our commerce catches every wind that
blows,
To earth’s remotest ihores ciur produce
' goes:
Our sacred laws, freedom and.juftice frame.
And rival nations celebrate our fame !
Hail happy States! may fate propitious
give.
That long thy sons in harmopy may Uve;
Qa union built.till time diflolve the fpherc,
Thou tree and g rcat » and glorious {halt
appear !
The United States.
Poet’s Corner*.
A circumstance which I forgot
and which however chara&triles
this event, is that among the pris
oners, alithe.Ecclefiaftics, not one’
excepted, are comprehended : the
Revolutionists even went so far as
to apprehend one of them in the
pulpit in the midst of his sermon.
If you ask me, what can have oc
casioned this event ? I answer, that
according to some, it has been ow
ing to the desire of pillage and
rdbberry,and to favor the efficien
cy of the Revolutionary Govern
ment, entirely unconneded with
French Politics, Geoevefe Revo
lutionists, aiming at a thorough
independence. Ochers, on the
contrary, eppfider Soulavie, the
Frenchman, as being the chief
mover, and as having brought a
bout the infurredion, with a view
to put the city in the pofleffion of
his countrymen. For my part, I
think both causes have contribut-
ed to the event.
It is certain that the dolly and .
depredations pf the fprmer Revo
lutionary Government having ex
hausted the Treasury, it ( became. ■
necessary to fill it again, for which [
purpose the most burthenfome ■
impods were adopted. In the Club I
it was prbpqfed on Friday, the i
iSth, that these imposts (bould be
aboljlhed, and that the rich Ihould
be compelled to furnilh mopey for
. the expences of the Republic.;—•
This proposition was adopted, and !
they had recpurfe to arms on the
19th, to enforce .the relolution,
and the rich actually carried their
effects to the treasury.
Soulavie is at the head of every ;
thing: his confidents have taken
on themselves the whole of the
management /so fully was he pren
lays fcforejou the following plan
of a Revolutionary tribunal?’ 1
The plan exhibited was approv
ed of, and the Revolutionary Tri
bunal elected on the 21st, by a
bout 3000 votes, if I mention
to you the number of voters, that
of Ae persons impriioned, and al
so that of those who have effected
their escape it is.becaufe 1 wi(h you
to notice what is called a majority
in a pure democracy, where every
one however, low his condition, is
allowed to VOie^—This majority
is not equal to three fourths of the .
inhabitants; and what would it be
it to those imprifoned,and to those
who have effeded their escape, we
were to add all who having ab
sented themlelves tor a long time,
have not tho*t proper to return ?
What would if be, if wc were to "
deduct all those who detest the Re
volution from the bottom of meir
hearts, and have given their con
currence thro’ weakness or to a
void suspicion ?~^l will rake upon
me to affirm, that in this cale, as
well as in many others, the minori
ty has made the law. Den
tard and Jeannot, both members
of the Government eftabhfhed by
the Revolution of the 28th of De
cember, 1792, have been released,
after having been ^apprehended,
and. have relumed their turions.
It would, therefore, appear that
the Government eftabbffied by
that Revolution continues to main
tain its ground, but is influenced
by the dtfpotiirb of the Revolu
tionary Committee ; the latter is
fubje4.ro the Club; and that again
is under the influence of Sou la vie,*
the French. National Commiffion
ef.
✓ r
pared for what was to happen, that
early cn Saturday morning he
tranfmiued to the Club a lift of
thole who were to be apprehend
ed, with orders to seize them wher
ever they could be found.
There are at present, no French
troops in the environs of Geneva,
which by some is attributed to the
policy of Soulavie, that it might
hot be said the French had seized
pn Geneva* .
The populace since the Revolu
tion, and at this hour, pillage ev
: ery where, and are eager in endeav
ouring to difeover all whom they
confider any way inimical to the
prelent system.
