Siege of Lyons.
Conclnded.
The pause was not long. The depu
ties, profiting by the impious frenfy with
*vhich they had inspired the soldiery and
the mol), and by the consternation of the
relpe&able inhabitants, continued" their
butchery with redoubled furv. Thole who
led the unhappy fufierers to execution
were no longer ordered to confine them
-1 selves to l'uch as were entered on the lilt of
j profcriptioiij but were permitted to take
whoever they thought worthv of death !
To have an enemy amonp th« democrats,
to be rich, or even thought rich, was a
fu.Ticient crime. The worus, nobeleman,
prielt, lawyer, merchant, or even iioneft
, man, were i'o many terms of proluripti
on. Three times was the place of the
guillotine changed, at every place holes
were dug to receive the blood, and yet it
raain the gutters ! the executioners were
tired, and the deputies, enraged to fee
tiiat their work went on l'o slowly, repre
sented to the mob that they were too mer
ciful, that vengeance lingered in their
hands, and that their enemits ought to
perifti in mass ! *
Accordingly, next day, the execution
in mass began. The prisoners were kd
out, from a hundred to three hundred at a
r time, inro the out lkirts of the city,
where they were fired upon, orftabbeJ.—
, One of these maflacres deserves a particu
lar notice. Two hundred and sixty nine
perfonsj taken indlfcriininately among all
classes and all ages, were led to Brotteaux,
' and there tied to trees. In this lituation
they were fired upon with grap lhot.
Here the cannoneers of Valenciennes, who
had not the courage to defend their own
, walls, who owed their forfeited lives to
i the mercy of the royaliits, valiantly point
ed their cannons against them, wh<*they
were bound hand and foot!, The coward
f is .ever cruel. Numbers of these unfor
. tunate prisoners had only their limbs bro
. ken by the artillery; these were dispatched
with the sword or the musket. The great
est part of. the bodies were thrown into
• the Rhone, some of them before they were
I quite dead; two men, in particular had
strength enough to swim to aland j!>ank.in
, *he river. One would have thought, tfiat,
thus saved as it were by miracle, the ven
geance of their enemies would have pur
lued them no further ; but, no sooner
were they perceived, than a party of the
dragoons of Lorraine eroded the arm of
the river, stabbed them, and left them a
prey to the flowjs of the) air Rea
der, fix your eyes on this theatre of car
nage You barbarous, you ferocious
monsters ! Vou have found the heart to
commit these bloody deeds, and lhall no
one have the heart to pubtifh them, in a
country t*at boasts of an unbounded liber
ty of the press ? Shall no one tell, with
what >pleasure you plunged your daggers
into the defencelefs breafis of those whose
loolto—JmJ ofiiir putted your cowa-rd
hearts! Shall no one tell, with what he
roic what god like conftaney they met
their fate ? How they smiled at all your
menaces and cannibal geiliculations >
they despised you in the very article of
death ? Strewed with every fweetefl
flower be the grave of Mons. Chapius de
Maubourg, and let his name be graven on
. every faithful heart! This gallant gentle
man who was counted one of the firft en
gineers in Europe, fell into the hands of
the democrats. They offered to spare his
fife, if he would serve in the armies of the
Convention: they repeated this offer,
with their carabines.at his fcreaft. " No,"
replied he, " 1 hatfe never fought but for
" my God and my king; despicable cow
" ards ! fire away !"
The murder in mass did not rob the
guillotine of its prey; there the blood
flowed without interruption. Death it
felf was not a refuge from democratic fu
ry. The bodies of the prisoners who
were dead of their wounds, and of those
who, not able support the idea of an ig
nominious death, had given tliemf Ives
the fatal blow, were carried to the fcaf
fdld, and there beheaded, receiving thou
sands of kicks from the fans culottes, be
cause the blood would not run from them.
Perfonsfrom their sick beds, old men, not
able to walk, and even women found in
child bed were carried t(f the murderous
machine. The refpedtable Mons. Lau
ras was torn from his family of ten chil
dren and his wife big with the eleventh.—
The diilraiSled matron, ran with her chil
dren, threw herfelf at the feet of the bru
tal deputy Collot D'Herbois. No
mercy ! Her conjugal tenderness,
the cries of her children, evety thing cal
culated to foften the heart preftnt£d
themselves before him, but in vain.

save her beloved hufbarwj, ihe followed
him to the place of execution. Her shrieks
when (he saw him fall, joined t® the wild

her approaching enct. She was seized
with the pains of .child birth, and was
carried home to her noufe; but as if hertor
mentors had (hown too much lenity, the
fans culotte commissary soon after arrived,

' About three hundred women hoped, by

with a discharge of grape shot. —Two of !
1 them, who, notvyithftandfftg the menaces '
1 of the democrats, Hill had the coarage to I
' persist, were tied during fix hours to the 1
pofls of the guillotine ; their own hulbands [
were executed before their eves, and their !

Madame Cochet, a lady equally famed
1 for her beauty and her course, was ac
cused of having put the matchTo a cannon
1 during the siege, and of having affifled in

ed to liiffer death ; (he declared herfelf
with child, and the truth of this declara
tion wa» attested by two surgeons. In vain
did (he Imp! >re a respite, in vain did (he
' pltad the innocence ,of the child that was
in her womb : htr head was fevered from
her body amidst the death howl of the
' democratic brigands.
Pause here, reader, and imagine, if you
1 can, another crime worthy of being added
to those already mentioned. Yes, there
is ontf more, and hell would not have been
fatisfied, if its ministers had left it uncom
m tted. Libidinous brutality ! Javogues,
one of the deputies from the Convention
opened the career. His example was fol
lowed by the soldiery and the mob in ge
neral. The wives daughters of al
most all the refpe&able inhabitants, par
ticularly of such as had emigrated, or who
were murdered, or in prison, were put in a
state of requifit'ion, and were ordered, on J
pain of death, to hold their Bodies (I j
spare the reader the term made use of in
the decree) in readiness for the embraces
of the true republicans! Nor were they 1
content with violation : the firft ladies of '
the city were led to the tree of Liberty i
(of Liberty !) and these made to take the <
hands of chimney-sweepers and common |
felons ? Deteftabie wretches ! at the very
name of democrat, humanity (hudders, '
and modesty hides its head !
I will not insult the reader's feelings by ]
desiring him to compare the pretended i
tyranny of the Britiih government with i
that I have here related ; nor will I tell (
the United Iriflimen, that even anlriffi
Massacre is nothing compared to the ex- .
ercife of the Democratic Laws of France ;
but I will alk them to produce me, if they '
can, an inftarice of such consummate ty- 1
ranny, in any government, or in any nat
tion. Queen Mary of England, during a i
reign of five years, caused about 500 inno- ,
cent persons to be put to death ; for this,
posterity has, and very justly tpo, branded \
her with the fur-name of bloody. What
fur-name, then, (hall begiven to the affem- '
bly that caused morr than that number to 1
be executed in one day, at Lyons ? The <
massacre of -St. Bartholomew, an event j
that filled all Europe with aonfternation, r
the infamy and honors of which have been •
dwelt on by so many eloquent writers of \
all religions, and that has held Charles
the IX. up to the execration of ages,
dwindles into child's play, when compart

ly calls 1" a St. Bartholomew of five v

whom are reckoned two hundred and fifty
thousand women, two hundred and thirty
thousand children (besides those murdered

Mr. Fenno,
There is nothing that can equal the
ptftriotifm of agenuine democrat but his
modesty; and by the. aid of these two
ingredients united he will attempt things,
which no man besides would dare : —Of
this defeription are the two writers who
through the channel of the " Auro
ra" have offered their remarks on the
" Review," which appeared in your
Gazette of the 2d inft. One of them
indeed is so extremely out of humour
with the author of that piece, and with
you for publifliingit, that there are no
names, he can bellow, too hard for you.

all the other high-famed deeds of mo
dern patriotism. There is nobody that

O ! HOW melodious is a friendly found,
Which comes with greetings to the
[ woeful ear ;
[ Which comes, when sorrow spreads .her

And the heart trerSbles with a dea€ly
fear.
No balm, tho' brought by beauty's peliih'J

Serv.'d in a golden-vase, -or ;
Made of the riches of a blooming laiid ;
Can like to friendfhip soothe a languid

With such dear friendfhip fee meek

With eyes half drowned, and with blub

Heaving up sighs, as thick as hops,
And droping tears, as children drop
their crumbs.
O ! could you fee his mournful, wailing
face—
You'd fend your cluft'ring sorrow» out to
grass.
He knows thy tribulation, and thy iverij ,
How that thy fouls are Jpungy, like to
corks;
Thy pa<verty no prudence e'er could screen;
And I, yes, 1 have also heard and seen,
The blasphemy of thojc, who call thee

Who call thee citizens and peace promo- '

Whene'er in Satan's synagogue youv'e

And bend for his young imps, the only '

A fadl is now reported, which gives a
{hocking idea of the ferwijjufnefs of the
moniler who had succeeded in subjugating
all France. Trial a comedian, and at the
fame tmje a magiitrate of the people, a»
was Col lot d Herbois, declared, fonie mi
nutes before hit death, that he died eon
vulfed with remorse for having caused the
execution of ma'dame de St. Amaranthe,
her beautifußSaughter, inadame de £>artine,
her ion aged 16 years, her whole family,
and many of their frieijds. It happened
111 the following manner: Ro'eefpierre and
Trial were admitted into madanie St.
Amaranthe's house, and were frequently
there entertained at dinner. One (Jay Ro
befpier®, intoxicated with liquor, spoke
with much indiscretion, and even difcl.ii'ed
some of his puipofes in prefeuce of some
of the gucits and attendants. The next "
morning, Trial came with eagerness to
Robclpierre, to reroonflrate upon the irn- "
prudence he had committed, and expoled
to him the dangers he might run by such
an indilcretion. Robespierre paused a mo
ment, then enly laid to Trial, « be not
uneasy." Two days after, the wliylt ia- _..
mily and all the-fei vairta. VviVguiilotined.

that Capt. Joseph Perkins, of the fchoonir
Polly, belonged to Kennebunck, (as had
been announced in the Centinel of the 20th }

he belonged to Pepperelboro'. This is to
assure you, there is no such man belonging
to Pepperelboro', and 1 presume there is

to be guilty of. J",
