Paris, july 31. The fitting of the club
of the Cordeliers, of the 27th instant, has dis”
played a feene of horrid blasphemy and abom
inable wickcdnefs, which Hands unrivalled in
the annals of hiftory. That fitting was wholly
devoted to the regulation of the ceremonies
which are to be observed in transferring the
cankered heart of the iniquitous mo after Marat
into the hall of that club.
The biafphemeus wretches, h'.ving given a
long defcriptjon of the proceffon which is to
take place on that cccafion, wickedly and
moif profanely read a fpetch, to which was
affixed the motto, 1
O Car Jefu ! O Cor Marat /
O heart of Jr fas ! O Heart of Marat f
In this blasphemous production, our Bieifed
Redeemer is compared with Marat. Thegen"
tie dodtrihes of the Saviour of Mankind, are
\ put in Competition with the criminal exploits
of the pretended friend of rhe people. The
apofllcs, the Orator calls jacobins and Cor
deliers—>the publicans, shopkeepers ; and the
pharisees, aristocrats- Horrid to relate 1 the
infamous author aflertr, that Christ is but a
prophet, but Marat a God.
The fame wretch, whole exigence difgra.
' ces the name of man, adds, that the concu
bine of Marat imitated Maris in the care she
took of the friend of the people ; and chat
flie saved the God of the republick from the
dagger of La Fayette, by which he must else
. have fallen. ’ .
Brochet followed this licentious blasphemer,
and said, ” that our redeemer, having de
fended kings, was not to be compared to Ma
rat, who had been the molt inveterate enemy
.of kings and their thrones.” ’
This infernal fitting was determined by an
offer of Henriot, the commandant of the Pa
risian Sans Culottes, who promifedto furnifh
pinks,^carnation»/cypreffes and roses, to a
corn ch^ putrid cofe of Marat, is . ;
> aug. 8. The widow of Marat appeared
at the bar, to demand vengeance on those hi
,w<
a Jingle domestic left to fee them decently
interred, These are but J owe of the
faint outlines of the diftrejfes of those
devoted people.
. Self preservation being the firft prin
ciple of nature, we ought to guard our
lives and health as a precious gift of
Heaven. Benevolence and hospitality
standing next in the lift of duties, we
ought also to reach out a helping hand
to the unfortunate and tbe diftrejfed.—
While we guard our towns against those
abandoned and solitary wanderers, who
we (uppofe, may communicate the con
tagion, let us appoint jome friendly afy
lum to which they may resort, and
where their necej/ities and maladies
may receive that ajfiftance which friend
ly andfympathetic bosoms can bestow.
