efNse.nb r the 0, there appeared a le
vere criticism upon ihg current PrtOCL.4-
MATiON; fora Fuolic Thanksgiving.
With fubroiffion, one of your cufiumers,
who is often troubled with the blind head
ache, would ask of the Christian C&T
tZan, that he would prepare and infers in
vur next Informer, a there comment upon
one single sentence in said PROCLAMA
TION ; viz. " That a true knowledge of
.he LORD (our righ:eoufocfg may ope
rate so powerfully on the minds of all, as
to produce the croft ardent love to him, &
good will to our f# ! bw men."
I would just remind-—no, only mention
.othe CHRISTIAN CiTiZEM, a Letter
that one Paul formerly wrote, and trans
crjhe a few lines of it, “ For though there
be that are bulled gods, whether in heaven or
in earth, (as there fa gods may ana lords ma
ny ) But to us there is but one God, the Fa
ther, gwhom are all things, ana use in bins ;
and %£ Lord Jefur Chris, by whom are all
things, and me bj him."
lo the PROCLAMATION afore Grid,
we read firit, of the Sovereign LORD,A^
mighty GOD the Parent. Towards the
close we read concerning the knewledge of
the LORD, whom "your ciftomer. Sirs,
has taken to be the Soo of the HIGH

The leaders of the French revolution
.have; like other politicians, been fame
times in the right, and femetimes other
wise: But the fidelity .of the fcldiers to
the Raudard of the Republic has been df
tinguiftted by eircumitanecs unexampled
in %ifory.
To arreA a riaorions general, at the
head of his troops, would, even in the
purest days of Rome, of Athens, or of
Sparta, would have been a flfry danget
.dugesrperiment. The army of the Com
manwealth of England degenerated into a
military machine, conduced by Crom
well. At his comm^rd, they literally
turned ttie leg&ture of their country out
,f dears. The annuls of evcty deface
contest are full of facte Rories. It "is

At lartl, he deviciiied to desert the

aps with reason, that the. Convention
had previeully determined to murder him.;
Something of his difficult fituatian had
been understood by his troops. They
fuffefed him to escape, but, a handful c#
copied, none of them deferred with him.

had become equivalent to death. He was
tried, condemned, and executed, without
a reroonftrance, or even a request in his
favor.
Jourdan drove Cobourg and Clairfayt
from their entrenchments at Maubeu s e.
This was the greatest and best fought bat
tle that the Republic had ever gained.—
Jourdan was recalled and difmifcd, with
as much facility as if he had been but a
drummer Every body had reason toexpeft
his trial and execution, but he has been re
stored to command.
Several other eminent officers have
been suspended or have fled. All have in
^riably found that the integrity of the
foldiefs to the national cause was inflexible.
The talents of a C*lar era Cromwell
could riot have dazzled or debauched an
army of modern French Republicans.—
The common men seem to have adopted
the lacennic motto of the celebrated fam,

of afavorite general is like a bobufh op,
posed to the ocean of military enthusiasm.
A people, who have undertaken to extir
