CAMBRIDGE, March 14
The justice and humanity which are now so conspicuous in the French Convention, and in the Tribunal at Paris, must give pleasure to every friend to the human race. Two persons, the avowed friends of Monarchy, and who had not only spoken but written against the establishment of a Republican Government, have been acquitted upon the just principle, that ACTIONS and not OPINIONS, were the subjects of cognizance. Our readers will not suspect us of any great partiality towards Republican Government; but whenever we see truth and justice prevail, we must and will rejoice.
The decree of the French Convention for abolishing the national church establishment, will be read with disgust or approbation, according to the sentiments which prevail amongst men. Those who think that christianity must, like all other religions, be supported by penal laws, and by the sword of the magistrate, will undoubtedly predict its downfall. But those who have that high opinion of christianity, as to be persuaded that its own intrinsic excellency will insure its success, have little doubt that in a short time it will flourish more, be better understood and better practised in France, than in those countries where state craft and priest craft, its pretended friends, but real enemies, have so officiously intruded.
The Nation saved —by William Pitt. Says PIT, "It is shewn, by St. Mark, chapter seven, "How difficult 'tis for the Rich to reach Heaven, "Now, as this is the case, I shall prove in the end, "To Britain no foe—but her very best friend; "For, but let me go on, and I'll not leave the nation "A guinea, to stand in the way of salvation!"
From the Cambridge Intelligencer . March 21. EXHIBITION EXTRAORDINARY.
Catalogue of Pictures, Statues, Busts, Bronzes &c. now exhibited for sale, at the great auction room, in Westminster, to which are annexed some critical observations.
First day's Sale. Mr. Edmunds, Beaconsfield . 1. A capital stained drawing of Portland harbor in a mist, the obscurity delineated in the most natural manner. A storm apparently rising in the back ground.
2. The conquest of France, a vision. This piece discovers a wonderful imagination, though it has been ill executed, and cannot possibly be deemed a finished performance.
3. The Devils entering into the herd of Swine. This is indeed a sublime picture. The connoisseur may almost swear he hears the hogs grunt. The Swinish Multitude appear quite desperate.
4. The celebrated Dagger Scene, an hyperbolical sketch.
5. Parliamentary Patriot. Caricature, in the common style.
6. The Battle of Hastings. Excellent.
7. A Pensioner skulking in the dark. The countenance, though in deep shadow, is curiously expressive of meanness and of shame—the "darkness visible," is exquisitely hit off.
Mr. Windmill, Norwich. 8. A Weaver and his family starving. A master production. Distress, misery, and despair were never more charmingly portrayed:—The dead child is beautiful.
9. The inside of the Old Bailey, with three felons at the bar, just acquitted. The design bad, and the colours too glaring.
10. A War Piece—unfinished. The British troops are thrown too
much in the back ground for effect. 11. A retreat. The distresses of a flying army are here most forcibly displayed—the canvass, however, is too much crowded with the dying and the dead.
12. The Passions Personified. Malice and Pride are too prominent, and cruelty is out of all rule. There is no keeping in this picture.
13. The delights of poverty, an allegory. A most scandalous composition.
14. The Wish; or the Decay of Commerce—a natty drawing, to serve as a frontispiece to a new novel called Tyranny Triumphant . There is no merit in the idea.
Mr. St. George, St. James's Street.
15. The Black Prince. This picture has cost an immense sum of money, yet it is a wretched performance. The hero of the Poictiers seems absolutely degraded into a Covent-Garden Blood: The Minutiae of the dress, and the ornamental parts have been particularly attended to. The figure wants character.
16. Venus rising from the sea, a companion of the foregoing. This valuable piece is not yet arrived from the Continent, but report speaks highly of it.
N. B. It is not the work of Mr. St. George, but has been procured by his means.
17. Captain Bobadil, after his beating by Master Downright. Although this picture is by the same hand, it is much inferior to the Black Prince. It is all shadow and no light.
Mr. Roswell, Old Palace Yard.
18. The purser of an Indianman, with the crew. A scene in low life. One of the most respectable efforts of this master, although one of his earliest.
19. Midas turning every thing he touched to gold. A rich composition. In addition to the ass's ears, the painter has ingeniously given him tiger's claws, as appropriate to his unbounded rapacity.
20. A gang of Robbers; a Conversation Piece. Finely characteristic.
21. Electioneering Rascals: or the Briber outwitted. A humorous drawing in India Ink. It is really strange that such an innocent work should have been suffered to appear before the public: It is in every respect disgusting and disgraceful.
A prayer has been circulated with some degree of industry, in this town, with a recommendation to serious people to offer it up to the Almighty twice a week, every Friday and Saturday evening. We wish it had been suitable to our situation as a nation; but we are sorry to observe, that it not only breathes a most shocking party spirit, but likewise contains some flagrant falsehoods. The following specimen will be sufficient for our readers: "Let us not fall into the hands of our enemies, whose tender mercies are cruel! Thou knowest, O God, that they who seek to destroy us have set themselves also against thee. They have established wickedness by law. They have not only disregarded, but utterly destroyed thy Sabbaths." Then follow petitions for the success of the present wretched war, and vile insinuations against those who disapprove of it. If the composer of this prayer had mentioned the British senate as establishing wickedness by law in their late vote respecting the slave-trade, he would have acted an honest part: The French Convention have never equalled this wickedness. Who the author of the prayer is we know not: He represents himself as a christian "Standing in the gap." He should rather have classed himself with those who are filling up the measure of their iniquities. Such prayers are an abomination to the Lord; and we hope that no sincere christian will ever dare to address
them to that God "who searcheth the heart and trieth the reins."
The piety of our great men is surely of the most eccentric kind. This being the season of lent, we, in conformity to an old Popish custom, are forbidden the rational entertainment of a theatre, while amusements of a most ridiculous kind have received a formal licence. The immortal Shakespeare , and the foul-arresting Siddons are banished by our pious rulers, to make room for the Tale of a Pig , and a flying leap over five Horses a-breast!
LONDON, March 18. Nuptial Articles.
Arrangements are now making at Carlton house on a system of economy, and which, from the specimens already exhibited, we think are likely to possess much of elegance; the finishing every room in the house, with a considerable proportion of the furniture, will not cost more than 16,000l. altho' an estimate was made at the enormous sum of 80,000l.
The Queen has furnished the Princess of Wales' wardrobe with the most magnificent dresses ever seen in this country; her majesty in person placed the whole in the wardrobe at Carlton house, and is in possession of the keys until the princess's arrival.
The state train of the prince of Wales is to be augmented with 72 new livery servants, and 7 stage carriages.
The usual dress liveries of the prince of Wales, while a batchelor, cost fifty guineas each; those in which they will appear before the princess have cost one hundred guineas each.
Dulce et decorum est. Col. Doyle is recruiting his regiment in Dublin. This consisted of 1,500 brave fellows, when it was landed on the continent, in the spring of 1794; and (painful to relate) only eleven privates now remain!
April 7. HOLWOOD ECHO.
In the Groves of Holwood, the seat of the Right Hon. William Pitt, is a celebrated Echo, which returns every sound with astonishing precision. A gentleman, who lately paid a visit to that enchanting spot, received the following extraordinary Replies to the subsequent Sentences:
The French have got to Amsterdam.
Echo.—Dam! We shall conquer France most certainly.
Echo.—Lie. Dundas proposes to encrase the Navy.
Echo.—Knave he! What can destroy constructive treason?
Echo.—Reason. How is Liberty—when the Habeas Corpus Act is suspended?
Echo.—Ended. What shall we call the great Dundas?
Echo.—Afs. What can good Englishmen derive from Stanhope?
Echo.—Hope. Windham, they say, confounds both good and evil.
Echo.—Devil! What must we do the constitution to secure.
Echo.—Cure. The ministers all act with one accord.
Echo.—A Cord. What do the French mean to do this country to overcome?
Echo.—Over-come. Great Pitt, may you grow fat and farewell.
Echo.—Farewell.
Lexington, July 25. Extract of a letter from Major Hoop, to a gentleman in this place, dated July 17, 1795.
"We are now on Red river, twelve or thirteen miles above the
Narrows, and expect to reach Sandy waters in ten or twelve days. We have no doubt of accomplishing the road agreeably to contract within four weeks from this date.—Any gentlemen going from Lexington to Virginia three or four weeks from this, may have an excellent way through, along this road."
On Thursday the 16th instant, 5 Indians were seen driving a number of horses across the Ohio, above the mouth of Big Sandy.
The Articles of the Treaty between Great Britain and the United States; is received—The length prevents us from inserting them until next week.
Mr. Jay has resigned his office of Chief Justice of the United States.
NEW ROAD. The following particulars have been communicated to the executive committee for opening a direct road to Virginia.
Lexington, July 16, 1795. Gentlemen,
The information we shall give you concerning our intended Road, from the waters of Summerset in Clarke county, to the Rich Lands on Clinch (in the State of Virginia,) is as follows:
Our first business was to obtain the best information in our power to enable us to open the Road on the best ground and nearest way to the Rich Lands on Clinch; that occasioned some delay in the business; however, we began to open the Road on the 25th June, with about twenty hands; the wagons engaged failed in coming and disappointed us altogether. We were then obliged to purchase a team after we began opening the Road, which came up with the provisions on the 28th in the evening; our company then increased to thirty men, and on Monday the sixth of this instant they were about forty miles advanced, and going on very well, and from an account obtained from Maj. Hood and James Johnston, they were nearly through the most difficult ground to take a Road on.—Three weeks last Sunday the undertaker of the other end of the Road had advanced 9 or 10 miles from the Rich Lands on Clinch, had passed the Sandy Ridge, which is the main Cumberland mountain, and we expect by this he is at least thirty miles advanced from his beginning.
We are with esteem, your humble servants.
ROBERT JOHNSON, & W. RUSSELL.
The executive committee having been expecting, day after day, the return of the subscription papers still in circulation, have delayed to remind the gentlemen to whose industry and patriotism they were entrusted, that they have been long looking for the effects of their exertions, and have been deterred by the prospect of receiving a list of their subscriptions, from making application to other gentlemen. They must now urge them with the greatest earnestness to send in their subscription papers in a few days, as the executive committee will be obliged, (should not the amount of the present subscriptions appear to be adequate to their engagements,) to renew their applications to all the members of the general committee, allotting to every one his proportion of the deficiency; a circumstance which will be very unpleasant to them, as many of those gentlemen have already distinguished themselves by their public spirited exertions.

IL-LEGAL AND HASTY ADJUDICATION.
Saturday evening a large course of people assembled on the Long Wharf in consequence of a hand-bill that issued the preceding afternoon, purporting that a New-Providence or Bermudian privateer was then lying at said wharf. The enraged multitude, having ascertained the fact, desired the captain and crew to leave the sloop, which was soon complied with: they then proceeded to examine, and found several carriage guns, shot, small arms, cutlasses and other war-like implements, which they threw overboard. This discovery exasperated them to such a degree that they dismantled and dismasted her—they then towed the hull from the wharf and set fire to it. The tide carried it as far as Charleston, where it "burned to the water's edge."
