JAMES WILKINSON. Dec. 10,
FRENCH NATIONAL CONVENTION.
December 26th.
TRIAL OF LOUIS XVI.
[Concluded from our last.]
THE Constitution has not ordered the guarantee of the king for the ministers; but on the contrary, had commanded the responsibility of the ministers for the king; and even if the Constitution was forgotten, the king and his ministers could not be both accused for the same acts. Louis had been accused of delaying the execution of the decree relative to Avignon—the minister Delassart had been accused of the same thing. Louis had been accused of not communicating intelligence of the treaty of Pilnitz; but was not that the province of them minister, even if it had been a public, instead of a secret transaction? He had been reproached with the troubles of Nimes, Jales, and other places; but was the king to be answerable for all the troubles of a great revolution? The account given by Narbonne was laid to the charge of Louis; but had not the National Assembly itself declared, that Narbonne carried with him the regrets and the confidence of the nation? The surrender of Longwy and Verdun were imputed to him, but were not the inhabitants of these places the guilty persons? And who had appointed the commander of Verdun, who chose rather to die than to yield?—Was it not Louis!
M. de Seze pursued his speech with much perspicuity, contending and shewing, that either Louis had no knowledge of the circumstances with which he was charged, or that they were not criminal; or that he could not be held responsible for them; or that, if responsible, the punishment could not justly, or even lawfully, be greater than the deposition.
With respect to the affair of the 10th of August, he argued, that the king had made no preparations for the defence of his own palace; that the Constitutional magistrates were with him, and that one of those read the article of the law which authorised the opposition of force to force to force; that when he was invited to the assembly he went there, and that the battle did not commence until an hour afterwards.
It had been said by many deputies in the convention, that they had assisted in producing the events of that day: If then, they had been premeditated, how could Louis be accused of them; Louis who had never given a sanguinary order; who, at Varennes, chose rather to return a captive than to expose the life of one man; who, on the 20th of June, refused every sort of defence, and chose rather to remain alone in the midst of his people?—Louis, of whom history would be heard to
say, that during a reign of twenty years he had borne only an example of manners, justice and economy? who had abolished servitude in his domains; who, when the people wished for liberty, gave it to them?
There was here some murmur, but the council went through several other articles of the accusatory act, which it is less material to notice here, and admonished the Convention, that history would judge their judgment.
At the conclusion of the speech, Louis rose and said, 'Citizens, the means of my defence have been justly exposed to you; I shall not resume them. In speaking to you, perhaps for the last time, I declare that my conscience reproaches me with nothing—My defenders have said on the truth.'
'My heart is torn when I perceive myself suspected of having wished to shed the blood of the people, and especially of being the author of what passed on the 10th of August. I avow, that the multiplied proofs of my love for the people seem to me sufficient to remove from me this charge, and prove that I have not feared to expose myself, that blood might be saved.'
The president presenting a note to Louis, asked him if he knew the writing?
Louis—No.
President—Do you recollect that five keys?
Louis—I cannot immediately recollect them: I know I returned some to Thierry when I was at the convent of the Feuillans, but cannot positively say that these are the same.
President—Have you nothing else to say in your defence?
Louis—No.
President—You may withdraw.
Louis and his counsel withdrew.
The assembly"> The assembly remained silent some minutes, when Manuel addressed them as follows: 
'Citizens, I require Louis's defence to be deposited in the court a his accusation; and that it, as well as every other proceeding should be printed, distributed in less than 24 hours to the members of the assembly, and sent to the different departments. I move likewise, that we adjourn this business for three days.'
Genisseux and Thuriot demanded, that the defence of Louis should be signed by him and his counsel.—Decreed.
Dachem—It is the practice of every tribunal, after having the defence of the accused, to pass immediate judgment. I demand, that the nominal appeal shall be immediately taken on this question: Shall Louis suffer death, or shall he not?—Loud applause from the tribunes.
The president desired silence.
It was proposed, that Louis should be immediately conducted back to the temple.—Decreed.

Bazire —I demand that judgment should pass on Louis before we adjourn.—(Loud clapping from the galleries.)
Lanjuinais —I rise to oppose the motion of Bazire. The time of cruelty is passed, says he; no longer let decrees be forced from us. Is it wished, that we would deliberate, without having time to consider the defence? Is it wished, that Louis the last should be judged by the conspirators of the famous day of the 10th of August?
(The mountain uttered dreadful cries, and, required that the speaker should be sent to the Abbay prison.)
Lanjuinais insisted, that the members of the Convention could not be, at the same time, accusers and dispensers of the law. He demanded the repeal of the decree which declares, that Louis should be judged by the Convention; and that they should confine themselves to taking proper precautions till they should decree by what tribunal Louis should be judged.
The trial was interrupted by a letter from the defendants of Louis XVIth, in which they observe, that the speech pronounced in favor of the Prince, digested in haste, and filled up in different parts with scratches and alterations, ought not to be considered as the copy which should be made public. The counsel therefore demanded a sight of the proofs before it was published, which was accordingly granted.
Lecointre demanded an arrest of judgment for three days.
Duhem wished it to be settled without adjourning. (Loud applauses from the tribunes.)
We are judges, and not hangman, exclaims Kersaint ; give us time to examine. (Hisses.)
The President put the vote of adjournment.
Loud cries from the inhabitants of the mountain; the cut throats of the Convention, who surrounded the chair, reproved and threatened the President. The galleries joined them.
Julian reproached the President for having held a conversation with Malsherbes , and he proposed, that he should quit the chair. The President was enabled, after some difficulty, to explain and justify himself. He offered to give up the chair to Barrere .
In the midst of this confusion, a deputy exclaimed: we wish the destruction of the tyrant of the country, but at the same time we are not willing to be surprised. Another exclaimed, that it had been moved in the parliament of England, whether an ambassador should be sent to influence the consultations of the Convention.
The Convention, says Ducos , ought no more to attend to the ravings of Burke, than to the manifestos of the Duke of Brunswick.
At length Couthon proposed a decree, which was adopted almost unanimously, "That the discussion should remain open, and that all other business being laid aside, the Convention should entirely apply themselves to the affairs of Louis Capet, till sentence should be finally passed on him."
Amendments were proposed, and fresh tumults ensued. Petion wished to speak, but he was interrupted by cries. The liberty of speaking was however granted him by a decree. We will not have Petion's opinion, and exclaimed Buraot . The banditti from the mountain rose up; two hundred members, on the left, opposed them, and the riot became general. The President obtained silence and desired Petion to proceed.
This deputy, after complaining
that it was utterly impossible for him to approach the gallery without subjecting himself to the most opprobrious calumny, insisted that the decree of adjournment should have no weight in prejudging the question.
Bazire pretended that Petion only confused the business.
The unhappy Louis delivered his few words with an air of the greatest sincerity and emotion, shedding tears as he spoke. Himself and counsel were heard very attentively.
LONDON, November 12.
A man was apprehended, about a week since, for posting "the Address of the London Corresponding Society to the other Societies of Great Britain," upon the subject of a reform in Parliament. He has been released, but an action will be bro't for damages, in consequence of his confinement.
November 20.
The trial of mr. Thomas Paine is expected with more than usual eagerness by the public; Nothing can be more interesting to Englishmen than to know whether opinion is free, or not upon general subjects of politics, for such is precisely the question to be tried.
Every possible attempt has been made to seduce mr. Erskine from standing forth forth  mr. Paine's client. Thus, are there found in the kingdom men base enough to attempt debauching the honor and interest of the British bar. It is almost needless to say, that every endeavor of this kind had no effect upon mr. Erskine ---the fight will be odd enough---a distinguished member of the French National Convention to be tried at the English bar, for asserting the Rights of Man!
December 4.
The news from the northern parts of the kingdom appear to be the most alarming. In Scotland there have been several insurrections, but of no other importance than that they shew the turbulent disposition of some of the people there. In Yorkshire, particularly at Sheffield, in Northumberland, and in Durham, a spirit of riot has shewn itself. In imitation of the French, the general cry among these rioters is, let us have a more equal division of property, for why should one man be richer than another.
The number of seditious clubs in and about the metropolis has likewise become a serious evil. But such is the vigilance of Government, and so strong is the spirit of loyalty in the people, to support the constitution, that we have no reason to be under very great alarm.
During the last week, upwards of 100 pieces of cannon were conveyed from Woolwich to the Tower; part are planted on the walls, and the remainder are ready to be removed wherever they may be wanted. The ditch, which surrounds the Tower, is cleaning, and to be kept constantly filled with water. New gates are making to the principal entrances; and the whole is undergoing an entire repair.
One hundred and twenty per-
sons, mostly Irish, are forming a plan of an intended republican system, for Great Britain, at White's Hotel, in Paris; Paine and General Santerre are alternately Chairmen.
Dec. 12. The military employed in guarding the Bank, has, since Tuesday night, been greatly augmented. Part of the Tower guard, whose place the artillery from Woolwich supply, are now employed on the Bank duty.
Mr. Fox , on Saturday, sent a message to mr. Pitt , informing him, that he would early in the Session, move for an enquiry into the conduct of the latter, for having by proclamations, fortifications and the embodying the militia, greatly alarmed the public mind, without explaining his reasons. Mr. Pitt sent an answer to mr. Fox , that if he and the Duke of Portland would do him the honor of a visit, he would give them every satisfaction on the subject that they required. Mr. Fox sent a letter in reply, stating that he must decline a private intercourse on the business with mr. Pitt , as the circumstances being of great publicity, he would rather give him an opportunity of publicly explaining the motives of his actions.
Yesterday it was said upon the stock-exchange, that news had been received from Holland, of a very serious insurrection having taken place there, and it had risen to such a height, as to be beyond the power of government to quell. M. Cazalet was given as the author. We cannot pretend to contradict this rumour, but from the authority of certain dispatches, we have reason to believe it untrue.
Lord Sampel , a Lieutenant in the 31 regiment of foot guards, received notice on Saturday, from the Secretary at War, that the King had no further occasion for his service.
Lord Edward Fitzgerald is also discharged from the military department; they having joined the revolution society.
December 15.
A riot, attended with some circumstances of cruelty and persecution, has arisen at Manchester, and was not entirely quelled when the accounts came away. The populace there, have imbibed, it seems, the wretched error, that all those persons, however respectable by property and private character, who now discover a wish for Parliamentary Reform, are enemies to the Constitution of the country.
[Accounts from France, dated Tuesday last]
M. Custine has met with some disadvantage in Germany, of which he has given an account to the Convention in a long letter. It appears that the French garrison at Frankfort, consisting of 4 battalions, was partly betrayed by the commander, and partly by the inhabitants, who opened three gates, at once, to the Prussians, and fired on the garrison. Two of these battalions, consisting of 1000 or 1100 men, were put to the sword; M. Custine , advancing towards the city, during the action, in the presence of a superior number of Prussians, saved the two other battalions, and remained in sight of the city. The Prussians and Hessians in the neighbourhood are more numerous than his army, and are endeavoring to surround it: but he has since gained some advantages in point of situation, and apprehends no harm.
The Executive Council, holding this conduct of the inhabitants of Frankfort to be treacherous, during a negotiation, have put into confinement the commissioners from that city, who were at Paris to solicit a remission of the fine imposed upon it.
Two Princes of the house of Nassau having secretly sent assistance to the enemies of France, after they had received a safeguard from M. Custine , their dominions have been taken possession of by detachments from his army.
PHILADELPHIA, February 6.
There is a letter in town, received yesterday by a gentleman from Mar seilles, which mentions that the city of Rome has surrendered to the army of the French, commanded by General Anselm ; He advanced so rapidly, that his holiness could not effectuate his escape, and has been taken prisoner. Particular details of his new conquest are not expressed, but we hope to be able soon to give full information about it, having the strongest grounds to think that this very interesting intelligence, will be authenticated in a few days. The same letter mentions also, that Holland has acknowledged the sovereignty of the republic of France; and that the king of Prussia himself is ready to follow the example.
February 16.
At 12 o'clock on Wednesday last, the members of the House of Representatives repaired to the Senate chamber. The members of the Senate were previously assembled. Both Houses being in convention, the president of the Senate, pursuant to the constitution of the United States, opened and read the certificates received by express from the Executives of the several states, which contained the lists of the votes given by the electors of the states, beginning with New-Hampshire.
The reading of these being finished, the lists were delivered to the tellers, viz. mr. King on the part of the senate, and mr. Lawrence and Mr. Smith on the part of the house.
The tellers counted the votes, and delivered a statement of the same to the president of the senate, which he read as follows:     States.  Wash.  Ad.  Citi.  Yeff.  Burr.     N. Hamp. 6 6  Massachusetts 16 16  R. Island 4 4  Vermont 3 3  Connecticut 9 9  New York 12 12  New Jersey 7 7  Pennsylv. 15 14 3  Delaware 3 3  Maryland 8 8  Virginia 21 21  Kentucky 4  N.

BALTIMORE, February 15.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his correspondent in Philadelphia, dated December 3. Per the Packet.
"Our public affairs are in a critical situation. God alone can bring good out of evil! Government are greatly alarmed, and have summon- suddenly the Parliament; great fa-

services must be made before the ferm- ent is allayed; pensions reduced; finicures abolished; Parliament re- formed by a far more equal repre- sentation; church preferment more equalized, and a variety of objects to be embraced, highly proper to have been effected half a century back; but this is an epoch big with events, and we are all alarmed and in anxiety. All Europe are occupi- ed by the affairs of France, and much of it ready to follow her.
Extract of another letter from Lon- don, of the 5th of December.
"It is with regret I have to in- form you, that England is in a very critical situation. It has become se- rious and alarming to a degree. Go- vernment is taking every precaution to suppress it, which God grant they may. There is a double number of soldiers at the bank: the militia held in readiness: the Tower is strongly guarded; the cannon fixed on the old walls, besides new walls built to strengthen it.
"No person is permitted to walk on the parapet as was usual. There are too many disaffected people in Manchester, Sheffield, a great num- ber in Leeds, and two many rebelli- ous in London, both Scotch and I- rish: it is supposed the Presbyteri- ans are the head.
"Parliament will meet next week—when they were prorogued, they were not to meet until January —Lord Semple and Col Fitzgerald are turned out of the army, for with- ing to instil notions in the soldiery to make them disaffected. The duty on Malt, Beer, Soap and Candles, it is expected, will be taken off."
February 23.
IMPORTANT LAW CASE. SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
On Tuesday last, at Philadelphia, the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, delivered their o- pinions upon the important questi- on which had been argued before them thirteen days, viz:—Whether an individual of any state may sue a state; or the United States; or whether the citizens of any one state may sue another state. The Attorney-General, (Mr. Randolph) was employed on behalf of the Ex- ecutors of a citizen of the state of Georgia, who had left America previous to the revolution, and re- moved to Great Britain, after set- tling a partnership account with two partners in trade, and whose bonds he took for the balance due him. After his decease, his Execu- tors, on making application for pay- ment, found that those two persons who had given their joint bond, had been inimical to the cause of liberty in the United States; and that their property was confiscated, the Execu- tors alleging, that the bond was gi- ven previous to the revolution, ap- plied to the state of Georgia for re- lief. It then became a matter of dispute, whether those Executors, being citizens of South-Carolina, could sue the state of Georgia. An action was instituted in the United States Circuit Court of Georgia, & a verdict obtained in behalf of the plaintiffs; but removed, by a writ of Demurer, to the Supreme Court of the United States.—And after be- ing argued for several days by the Attorney-General of the United States, the five Judges, as we have already mentioned, on the above day, delivered their opinions. Judge Iredel's opinion was against the doc- trine advanced by the Attorney-Ge- neral; but the Chief Justice, Mr. Jay, Judge Cushing, Judge Willon and Judge Blair, were of an opposite opinion, and confirmed that of the Attorney-General, which fixes a most material and rational feature in the judiciary of the United States. That every individual of any state
has the the natural privilege of suing either the United States or any state whatever in the union, for redress in all cases where he can prove a just claim, a loss, or an injury having been sustained, and vice Versa.
RICHMOND, February 20.
Private letters, received by the Ann and Susan, arrived at New- York, contain the following particu- lars: "That Louis XVI. had been tried, was acquitted, and is at large; that several battles had taken place, which invariably declared in favor of liberty and equality; that Antwerp, the capital Austrian city, situate on the river Scheld, was in the posses- sion of Dumourier and his army; that the British fleet was equipping with expedition; and, that the Dutch were alarmed, and it was be- lieved would arm, which last is fur- ther corroborated by the following.
Extract of a letter from a gentle- man in Dublin, to his friend in New-York, dated the 1st of De- cember last, received by the Ann and Susan, in 33 days from Cork.
"The surprising events now sta- ring on the continent of Europe, are tended to with anxiety and astonish- ment, on all sides; to what lengths their consequences may attend, it is impossible to determine: that Hol- land will be involved, seems almost certain; that England can no longer remain neuter, is generally dreaded—Stocks there, are accord- ingly tumbling, much faster than at the commencement of the late war, or almost any former war. It may be said well on your side, to look forward to the effects of such an event on the mercantile system."
Captain Duplex, who arrived at New-York on the 5th instant, in 53 days from Cork, informs, that all was bustle and confusion in England —that the Parliament of that king- dom, which was to have met on the 6th of December last, was prorogued to the 3d ult. That 47 sail of ships of war were ordered into service a- gainst France, by the British ministry; and that a cutter, on the Irish station, was seen going into Cork harbour, with a view of pressing men for the fleet.—He also informs, that a short time before he failed, he saw an account of the trial of Louis XVI. and Maria Antonietta, who, he says, were acquitted.
ALEXANDRIA, February 21.
Extract of a letter from a gentle- man in England, to his friend in this town, dated December 3.
"The exportation of corn has been stopped by an arbitrary order of the Privy-Council, which com- prehended ships already in loading and chartered. The soldiery are shifting their stations every month. The dock yards are full of workmen. The government is encouraging counter associations (for perpetu- ating all manner of abuses, as we call them) in opposition to the associ- ations for Parliamentary reform, which have overspread the land, and which, if they succeed in the first step, will certainly urge on the government to republican fm. Stocks have fallen from 96 to 75. within three weeks; in a word, an alarm that "the state is in danger," has gained ground every where; & some are looking for an insurrection and some for a French war."
STAUNTON, March 9.
The Becky, Captain Wallis, ar- rived at George-Town, Potowmac, on Wednesday the 19th, brings ac- counts as late as the 16th of Janua- ry 1793, whereby it appears, that war had been declared by his Britan- nic Majesty against the French re- public, on the 12th of that month.
Altho' we can make no comments on this step, as the motives which led thereto, remain concealed, yet we sincerely hope that it will only conspire to add fresh laurels to the armies of our allies.
The breach of the treaty at Aix- la-Chapel. It cannot be the osten- sible reason of hostilities on the part of Great-Britain; for even had the French attempted the opening of the Shield, in order to revive the trade of Antwerp; yet is known, a free navigation of that river has been heretofore purchased for some milli- ons. In such a case, therefore, the Editor, without further remark, leaves his advices on this head, to the discussion of his readers.
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 23.
A gentleman who has been thro' different parts of the Indian coun- try and at Detroit arrived here a few days ago, and gives us the follow- ing information, which may be de- pended on, viz.
That the Savages are determined for war unless the United States will relinquish all claim to the terri- tory northwest of the Ohio; that they are determined to continue hostilities until the event of the proposed treaty, (which it is said will be held at Sandusky in May next) is known, and if it is not a- greeable to their wishes, they will pay no respect to it; and that the British still continue to supply them with every necessary for carrying on the war, which they say, is in con- sideration of the Indian trade.
LEXINGTON, April 20.
Extract of a letter from a gentle- man in Cumberland, to his friend in Fayette, dated Nashville, April 8, 1793.
"To see the country all in forts breaking up, leaving their farms, their houses, and corn burnt up, is truly a sight. At this time near- ly half the country are in forts."
Captain Kenton, with about 34 men, who went up the Ohio in or- der to intercept the Indians who took Morgan's Station fell in with the trail of a party of Indians on the waters of Paint Creek, coming into the settlement; he followed them, and at night observing he was near them, sent forward some spies to discover their fires; unluckily the spies fell in with their camp, and before they discovered it, the Indi- ans were alarmed by a dog who flew out at the spies; upon which the In- dians fired on them; the spies re- turned the fire; upon hearing the fire, the whole of the party came up, and the Indians retreated, leav- ing their baggage, amongst which was a quantity of powder, lead and blankets. Kenton had one man killed. It is supposed two Indians were killed and carried off, from some discoveries that were made next morning.
On Saturday last, the Indians killed two men on the Rolling fork of Salt river, and tomahawked and scalped another, who was alive on Tuesday last. Same day, killed a man in Hardin's settlement.
A few days ago, the Indians took a boat between Louisville and the mouth of Salt river, bound to Cum- berland; there was 3 men on board, who made their escape, by leaving the boat, and running a shore in a canoe.
NOTICE.
THE second section of the twelfth article of the Constitution of this State reads thus:—"That all power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their peace, safety and happiness; For the advancement of those ends they have at all times an unalienable and indefeasible right to alter, re- form or abolish their government in such manner as they may think proper."
There are then a number of per- sons who conceive it necessary for the peace, safety and happiness of the State, that the present Constitu- tion should be altered, reformed or abolished—And who have deter-
mined at the ensuing election for Representatives to vote also for call- ing a Convention for that purpose —And they invite all persons throughout the State (whose senti- ments are in unison with theirs) to do the same.

As there has been many trespasses committed on the lands held by the heirs of Mr. Angus M'Daniel, laying on the waters of South Elkhorn, such as falling saleable timber, getting back for tanning, destroying a number of sugar trees &c. This is to caution them in future, who may attempt the like, that they may expect to be dealt with as the law will direct.

Mr. Printer: IN justice to the character of my wife I, Sarah Brown, who, by misinforma- tion and ill advice, I published in your last Saturday's paper, I have to inform you and the public, after having investigat- ed matters fully, it is sufficiently proven to me that the charge against her is ill founded, and do hope this publication will wipe off a stain my last made on an inno- cent character.

PETER PINDAR. The merriest wight of the age, leaves no reigning topic untouched upon; singing on French affairs, he thus hits on the state of it
RELIGION.
RELIGION , who in France some years ago, Made in rich silks so wonderful a show, Sous'd with all the pride of curls to charm, Is now,br/>Is now, poor soul, oblig'd to beg her bread, With scarce a cap or ribbon to her head, Or woollen petticoat to keep her warm. Ah! sinking fast, 'tis tho' she may ex- pire; Her whips demolish'd and extinct her fire, Her pinchers broken, snapp'd in twain her cleaver, That flogg'd, that burnt a sinner to sal- vation, Roasting away the soul's adulteration, And chopp'd and pinch'd him to a true believer. No longer are her priests to be main- tain'd; Thus is that horrid beast the De'il un- chain'd That roaring bull at once his triumph shows For, it not paid, what priests will prove their might, Fight the good fight, Or like staunch bull dogs, nail him by the nose? Death and the De'il, the smutty rogue and sin, A pretty junto are upon the grin; Hoping to fill the dark infernal hole, If all the priests refuse to keep a foul— That most important contest then is o'er, Pull De'il, pull Parson, will be seen no more.
