VALOR.
THE love of glory, the fear of shame, the design of making a fortune, the desire of rendering life easy and agreeable, and the humor of pulling down other people, are often the causes of that valor so celebrated among men.

LEYDEN, September 26. Extract of a letter from Genoa, September 27.
A violent and sudden insurrection broke out the day before yesterday, September 5th. The partisans of the old government having prepared the fall of the actual government. The first movements were discovered in the valleys of Bisagno and Polcevera. Fortunately the first valley began its motions some time before the other, so as to give the patriots time to defend themselves; we here heard the tocsin to the east; we took to arms. Notwithstanding, the two valleys united and marched towards Genoa, and seized upon the port Eperon, that commanded the city to the North, they were vigorously attacked but maintained their post. We came to a parley; the government deputed two of its members, two municipal officers and the archbishop (a venerable Octogenarian) who has devoted the remainder of his days to liberty. The revolted pressing demanded the maintenance of religion—that was never attempted to be shaken—we gave every positive assurance, that it should be supported, that was proper to calm their minds. Believing that they discovered in these concessions, signs of weakness, they exaggerated their pretensions; they wished to destroy the present form of government and re-establish the ancient order with all its oligarchy. The parley was suspended, and the conflict began with redoubled fury. All the posts of the revolted were taken. The victory being decided, we pursued the authors of the conspiracy. We arrested the count Augustin Fiesco, nephew to the ex-patrician, Christopher Spinola, lately minister at London, and whom the Directory ordered to quit Paris. This Fiesco is also brother-in-law to the ancient Doge, Joseph Doria, under whose government the French were murdered in the state of Genoa. The Durazzi, the Pallavicini, the Gherardi, the Asplanti, and other principal members of the ancient oligarchy, are arrested. The two valleys where the insurrection broke out are in the neighborhood of Genoa, and are inhabited from the castles of the ancient lords. Their curates headed the revolt; they also received advice that some movements were observed along the Levant, particularly at Sarzana, and sent troops thither. Many nobles having taken refuge at Piacenza held a committee, who correspond with agents sent thro' the board of the Levant, many of whom have been detected and have acknowledged their criminal mission. Our actual government have taken many severe measures, that public safety renders indispensable. They have decreed,
1. That all foreigners, members of the convents, and who are within the territories of the Republic do leave it in three days. Except professors in the national university. 2. That no inhabitant of either sex, can enter into any religious order without the consent of government. 3. That without this permission no bishop can confer the orders on any inhabitant. 4. That no clergyman, by birth a foreigner, can settle in the Ligurian territory (ci-devant Genoa) unless provided with a card of safety, that he shall be obliged to renew every three months, and all those who at the expiration of eight days, are not so provided, shall be driven out of the country.
PARIS September 27.
Several pieces of coin have been circulated here, bearing the head of Louis XVIII, with this inscription: Louis XVIII, king of France and Navarre, and on the reverse, "Louis XVIII will pardon, when Louis XVI shall be revenged."
September 27.
We have just received news from Italy, which announce that Buonaparte, tired of the delay of the negotiations, has made formidable preparations to conclude peace immediately or recommence the war.
His dispositions are so well made, that no one doubts, that if the war is recommenced, the next campaign will be even more glorious than the last.
If the people of Italy are inspired with the same spirit, their hopes will be
raised, as to the fortune that attends them. They incessantly desire that Buonaparte would deliver them from their good friends the Austrians.
The people of Istria, and Dalmatia are already so disgusted with their new masters, that they are ready to rise in favor of the French.
The Pacha of Belgrade has requested the friendship of Buonaparte. It appears to be the intention of the Ottoman governor, to engage the French general, to repulse the Austrians, and to defend Turkey in Europe from an invasion.
CONSPIRATION of PICHEGRU. Correspondence relative to the treason of Pichegru intercepted by general Moreau.
The correspondence seized upon at Klingnau, contains incontestible proofs of a vast conspiracy, founded upon the disorganization of the armies, the annihilation of the republican government, and the establishment of royalty.
Pichegru's plan was to place in the strong towns on the frontier, officers at his devotion to deliver them up at the first signal; to replace the republican officers with others of a different description; to make every thing as disgusting and uncomfortable for his army as possible, and to throw the blame upon the directory; to propagate anti-republican writings to give money to men upon whom he could depend for seducing the soldiers; in fine, to disband the army, or to make it go over to the enemy, and to proclaim royalty by planting the white standard.
Pichegru, always afraid of committing himself, has written little, but his conversations with Courant, who took the name of Furet, are contained in several letters of those two agents. We have seen Pichegru betraying his country in hopes of rioting at the court of Louis XVIII, sacrificing the lives of the defenders of this country, of those to whom he owed that glory which he has tarnished, for a little money, and the honour of approaching his king.
He flattered himself with having on his side (this is the expression) some members of the directory.
This conspiracy was on the point of breaking out, dispositions had been made by the prince of Conde and the Austrian generals. Wickham, who in all this intrigue has played the most important part, was to have furnished all the necessary funds; Pichegru heartened them by assuring them that in case even of his being deposed, he should not be less active in the cause of Louis XVIII, and the prince of Conde.
I cannot conclude this sketch, without admiring the constancy and bravery of the generous defenders of their country; deprived of every thing by the effect of circumstances and the evil dispositions of their chiefs; not making one movement of which the enemy was not informed; betrayed by their general; their courage and their zeal have surmounted everything and the combined efforts of the Emperor, of Louis XVIII, and of Pichegru, has not succeeded to detach them for so much as one moment from victory.
Before it is in our power to publish the numerous places which prove to demonstration, the intention and the plan of the conspirators, we think it our duty to make known the following letter.
Copy of a letter addressed by Louis to Marshal count Wurmser.
SIR,
You have honoured general Baptiste with your confidence and esteem, he shews himself worthy of the honour by following your footsteps; he conducts himself in a manner that becomes a great man, and such he will one day prove, if he convinces you, that you have judged of him in the sincerity of your heart; that is, as he deserves to be judged of.
Your excellency will have perceived by this night's patches, that a most dextrous prudence regulates the conduct of Baptiste. I nevertheless entreat you to permit me to submit to your enlightened judgment and to your unrivaled loyalty, the following reflections:
Whatever the public journals may say respecting the character of Baptiste, your excellency will doubtless have entertained this dilemma with
regard to him "Either Baptiste is a man of honour, or he is a scoundrel; either Baptiste is a man formed to conceive and to execute the most bold and noble enterprize, or he is a man devoted to ignominy and wickedness."
In the full case, Baptiste would not have written letters, received sums of money, employed confidential persons, followed up for eight months together a project to which so many persons (when one only would have been sufficient for his ruin, without the possibility of escaping it) to which I say, so many persons were privy, if all his heart and soul was not bent and resolved on the execution of it. In the second case, Baptiste, master of the treasures of Holland armed with a revolutionary power during the life of Robespierre, would at least have committed some of those base actions for which the French generals have to blush, and which the liberty of the press at present to unfettered, would most undoubtedly have reproached him with.
Baptiste, who had millions at his disposal at the Hague, he left it poor and respected, would not at present secret a few rouleaus of louis d'ors, which would indelibly, and eternally stigmatize him. Were it possible to degrade him so far as to suppose him capable of going to Sweden, it were not enough to deem him a scoundrel, he would also have passed for the most desperate of madmen; whereas he could not but recollect, that after having sported with the word and confidence of the king, of M. le prince de Conde, of your excellency, of the generals of his imperial majesty and of the British cabinet; and having left on all sides proofs and considerable traces of his manoeuvres against the directory, to get him arrested before his arrival at Stockholm, and to make him forfeit his head, one word would have sufficed from even one of the persons who have kept up an understanding with him at the magazine.
The whole tenor of Baptiste's conduct up to the present hour has proved him a man of honour, and of rare talents; but even supposing him to be the reverse of what he is, he has powerful an interest in being a man of honour, that it is impossible he should act otherwise than as such.
He has requested and obtained a months delay to settle his affairs, and his arrival may be looked for every moment. Your excellency will therefore, perceive in this conduct, the behaviour of a prudent and dextrous politician, and of a great man who ere long will strike Europe with astonishment, and who, thanks, sir, to your magnanimity, and to the generous offers you made to his serene highness the prince of Conde, will console Europe for the miseries it has laboured under for this six years past.
Yes, monsieur marshal, Baptiste will do what he has promised to your excellency, and he will do it agreeably to the desires of monsieur, the prince of Conde, and of your excellency, that the moment is near at hand when the name of your excellency, so dear to glory, shall be pronounced only with gratitude and affection by the French nation, who will teach posterity to pronounce it with respect.
Do you then, monsieur marshal, I conjure you, continue to favour an enterprize which is under so great obligations to you. The generosity of your soul, the nobleness of your heart will not give way, and it is those which insure the success of a scheme which is about to shed upon his imperial majesty, upon the brave and invincible troops whom you have so often conducted to victory, and upon the German nation glory the most pure and brilliant.
I entreat your excellency to permit me to assure you, that in a very few days Baptiste will transmit to you the definitive project, together with his last arrangements; and I doubt not that if your excellency designs to continue to countenance them, his royal highness the arch duke Charles, conducted by your excellency, will be in the heart of France before the end of next month.
I am, respectfully, Mr. Marshal, &c. &c.
Note, Louis is the author of this letter, and either Courant of Nitschael, or Fauche Borel, also of Nitschael, the printer. We shall immediately find out for certain the correspondent of marshal Wurmser.
Tallyrand Perigord, the minister for foreign affairs, has written, it appears, a letter to all the French ministers at foreign courts, relative to the late events in Paris, which is spoken of in the highest terms, by all the journalists. It is not however yet published.
NEW BURYPORT, Nov. 10.
It is with the most feeling regret we have occasion to record the following unfortunate and painful circumstance which took place at the north part of this town on Tuesday night last. About one o'clock we were alarmed with the cry of fire from the house of Mr. Moses Savory, which was involved in flames before it was discovered, that it was in a short time entirely consumed with all its contents, and, painful to relate, two young men, apprentices to Mr. Savory perished in the flames. The tide being up, and the regular and united exertions of the inhabitants, uncommon, the tan house and yard, altho' within 40 feet of the house on the leeward side, were saved. Mr. Savory was absent at Boston, how acute his feelings on returning the next day to see the awful spectacle which presented!!!
LANCASTER, November 25.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Nassau, (New Providence) to his friend at Wilmington, (North Carolina,) dated September 26, 1797.
"We have lately very providentially escaped a most hellish plot. A parcel of French negroes who have been captured and sold here, and who ran away from their owners, entered into a conspiracy (about thirty in number) to burn the town, and make a general massacre of the whites. They had the promise of a great many slaves to join them, immediately on their beginning the horrid business. Their scene could not have been better planned by any set of men, and would undoubtedly have occasioned immense blood shed, had they carried it into effect, but, one of them, who had been compelled to take the oath, divulged the secret to his master, a few hours before the massacre was to have begun. A party of men were immediately collected and sent after the villains; only a few had yet assembled; five of them were taken; the principal ring leaders made two of that number; they were all condemned, and three executed; the other two will share the same fate in a day or two. The principal ring leader was a notorious fellow in the dreadful business of St. Domingo. He met his fate with a great deal of composure and resignation, saying, as he approached the place of execution, that he was content to die, as he had murdered many a white man in his time."
NEW-MILFORD, (Con.) Oct. 3. UNUSUAL NOISE.
On Saturday last, between two and three o'clock, P. M. (the weather being cloudy) a strange, unusual and surprising noise was heard from various parts, and perhaps from every part of this town: the cause was not visible or apparent; it was a loud sonorous crashing or fragor, somewhat resembling what would be made by the rolling or slipping a quantity of gravel stones from the body of a cart when turned up; continuing uniformly, perhaps, for the 4th or 5th part of a minute, some say longer. It was accompanied by a tremulous jarring of the ground and of buildings, probably occasioned by a concussion of the air; not, however, with such large vibrations or oscillations as are usual in earthquakes. At any rate, it was something very unusual, importing its cause, whatever it might be, to be grand, solemn and awful.
To the writer of this, who distinctly heard and observed the noise throughout, it plainly appeared, that the tremor or shaking was occasioned by the noise, and not the noise by the shaking; that therefore it could by no means comport with the true idea of an earthquake; but rather to answer to the description of the noise he has in several instances observed to be made by the rapid velocities, eruptions or explosions of those solid bodies called meteors, or terrestrial comets, in their passage through the regions of air, forming their trajectories over the celestial hemisphere; and he conceives it not improbable, that this

might originate from a like though invisible cause. The crashing noise, however, was much louder and more intense, than any of the kind he had ever before observed; which may, perhaps, denote its greater approximation towards the earth. And he suspects it not unlikely, that had this happened in a serene night, the cause might have been as visible as the effect was audible; and that by comparing several observations, which in such a case might have been taken at different stations, the course, distance, velocity and magnitude of the meteor (if it was one) might have been pretty well ascertained; as was the cast with one of the kind not many years since; and which, if he rightly recollects, was supposed to approach within about fifty or sixty five miles of the earth.
Lexington, January 24.
By a gentleman who arrived in town on Sunday last, and who is just down the Ohio, we are informed that the river is now open and in good order for the passage of boats. He also informs, that he saw a Philadelphia news paper at Marietta of the 4th inst. in which was a paragraph from a New-York paper, stating the arrival of two vessels from Havre de Grace in 54 days, who brought accounts that there was little doubt entertained of a rupture taking place between the United States and French republic: that an embargo was expected to be laid on all the American shipping in French ports, in consequence of which they were clearing out as fast as possible.
Two travellers passed through the neighbourhood of this place on Saturday last, reported, that Staunton, in Augusta county Virginia, was consumed by fire! As we were unable to obtain any particulars respecting the fire from our informant, we hope the report is without foundation.
Answer of the House of Representatives to the Governor's speech. To James Garrard, Governor of Kentucky. SIR,
IT is with peculiar pleasure we express our approbation of your conduct, in the manner you have exercised the powers with which you are vested by the constitution, on the present interesting occasion.
The progressive state of our agriculture and population: the extension of our settlements; the continuance of peace with other nations, and harmony among ourselves, are circumstances highly important to our prosperity, and are calculated to excite our warmest gratitude and congratulations. The near approach of the expiration of the law passed in 1795, entitled, "An act giving further time to make surveys, and for returning plans and certificates to the register's office," has engaged our first and earliest deliberations: and having made such provisions for the same as we conceive would conduce to the public interest, we have thought proper to postpone such other subjects as you have communicated for our consideration, until the meeting of the legislature in their next stated annual session; in the course of which, they shall receive our careful attention. And with a fervent zeal for the public welfare, we shall cheerfully co-operate in every measure that may appear best calculated to promote the same.
Extract of a letter from Glasgow, dated September 29th, 1797.
I suppose it needlessly to inform you of the arbitrary measures pursued by the British cabinet, during their present GLORIOUS STRUGGLE for GOOD ORDER and RELIGION, against those tyrants and infidels, the French; since these, in all probability have been made public in your country, copied from the English papers, dressed up in the nicest manner that ministerial hypocrisy is capable of; but a truly laughable circumstance which took place not long since in our neighbourhood, forces me (who am fond of scribbling sometimes) to present you with an account of one of the measures alluded to, together with some of the consequences which an attempt to put the same in execution, has produced.
You must know then, that our very wise rulers, fearing a visit from our
infidel neighbors; and at the same time knowing that such a visit would certainly overturn their already tottering system, issued a mandate by which all the young men from eighteen to 23 were commanded to enroll themselves, so that there might be a powerful militia ready to assist in supporting their glorious laws and constitution. This had a dreadful effect on the already irritated multitude, who, instead of a ready compliance, nothing but threats were thrown out against those who would shew themselves active in accomplishing the afore-mentioned enrollment; amongst the rest, who were made tools of by government to accomplish this end, the school-masters were called upon to give in a list of all the young men in their respective parishes, from the session books. The young men, by this manoeuvre, finding themselves completely foiled, and seeing a great band of armed ruffians ready to compel them, were forced, with reluctance to bow to the rod which smote them; but their pacific turn of mind did by no means accord with that of the fair daughters of Caledonia, whose affections some of the youths had already won. They, therefore, to the amount of about fifty, in one place, determined on revenge for the loss, as they thought, of their lovers, who were already enrolled; they accordingly went to one of the school-masters, through whose means it had been accomplished, and having dragged him from his home, declared that their firm determination was to drown him; however, this threat they were induced not to put into execution, on account of the earnest solicitations of the poor pedagogue, who promised never to be concerned in such a mean employment again.
At another place the young men having assembled round a number of WELL BORN, met for the purpose of enrolling, forced them to eat up every paper appertaining to the business; threatening at the same time, to use club law, if immediate compliance was not given.
Thus you see things go on strangely here. I expect the government will next fall upon some method of punishing these rebellious females. I think it would be truly consistent with their bloody schemes, to enroll the women, and send them as a formidable phalanx against the invincible infidels.
From the TIME PIECE:
To pour instruction on the mind, is of great importance; and of some value in a political sense. It will have a tendency to establish a peaceable disposition of mind among neighbors. It will prevent men from becoming dupes to a party, and will finally destroy party spirit. It will induce mankind to open their ears, and talk less. Without ferociousness the good of our country will predominate, or be forever uppermost, and stand as a barrier against evils contrived by the wicked, eternal enemies to the rights of man.
Hence the question arises, at what period of life is human nature most pliable and apt to receive, to imbibe, to give nourishment to useful instruction?
I suppose that for obvious reasons, the time from the age of twelve to fourteen or fifteen years, requires careful management. This period of life is of immense value—A lad may be employed in learning the language, without bestowing all his time on them, and will probably make the more progress from not being too much driven. With these studies let them be careful to mingle at times; geography and history, with short instructive lessons on the necessity of endeavoring to add to the general good and happiness of mankind, and the various readings to this happy state.
Mr. PRINTER: HAVING been here only a few weeks, I am, of course, unacquainted with many things in this country; but there are in all subjects, persons and things, what we may call PROMINENT FEATURES; which make an irresistible and instantaneous impression. These features I have observed here, and particularly in what I would call "The commercial arrangements in this state."
The business of a merchant, will be by all, allowed to be honorable; but then it ought to enrich, and not impoverish the people. Where the merchant conducts his business in such a manner as to make wealth flow into the state,
he is a very useful member of society, and an honorable man: he grows rich by enriching the public; and while he acquires wealth, he is equally respectable and respected by society. He is the friend of mankind—The merchants in England, have acted thus; and while they have become immensely rich themselves, they have contributed to the greatness and splendor of the nation.—By what means is it that her merchants can extend their credits to all other countries? Every commercial nation in Europe, owes large sums to England—and so does America. And while the merchants there, extend their immense credits to all the world; they never purchase upon long credits, from other nations, and rarely upon any credit; so that while all nations owe to England, England owes little or nothing to any—I speak only of her commercial relations. Thus, by a well regulated commerce, she is able to act as the mainspring in the grand machine of universal commerce.
But I would ask, "Have the merchants in Kentucky arranged and conducted their plan of commerce so as to enrich the state; and increase the quantity of money in the country? Have they opened any new channel? Have they explored any new source of riches? Have they not acted, generally speaking, contrary to all this? Are they not uniformly draining the country of this vital principle?" For I consider the circulation of money in any country where the people are alive to industry; as the fluids in the animal economy; drain the body of the life and the whole frame becomes languid and feeble: inaction and idleness take place of activity and sprightliness; and by a constant evacuation of the animal spirits (where there is not a successive supply) death will terminate the scene in a short time. Energy, harmony and order, will be succeeded by debility, confusion and ruin. Thus goes the tragic scene of life away; and thus will pass away the commerce of Kentucky, unless prevented by the introduction of a system of commerce hitherto unknown in this country; or at least not executed upon the firm and broad basis of public utility; I mean such a system as will combine in one point of view, and evidently promote the interests of the FARMER, the MANUFACTURER, the MERCHANT, the LANDHOLDER and the PROPRIETOR OF LANDS—respecting which, some hints will be laid before the public; merely to introduce the subject, that the principles of the system may be discussed and investigated.—Should you think proper, Mr. Printer, to give these observations a place in your paper, they are at your service, and at the service of the public. I have no private interest nor private view to promote; any farther, or in any other sense, than as they stand connected with the public good. I hope, therefore, the wealthy and intelligent citizens will lend me their hands.

SACRED TO THE MUSES.
THE EMIGRANT.
BY THOMAS MOIR.
BLOW, blow, ye breezes o'er the Western main, And bear the ling'ring vessel from the shore, The hore below! below! alas! in vain, Which these dim eyes, thro' tears, e'on yet explore.
Dear to the patriot is his native land, Bound to each feeling are his native hills; Yes, when he flies them, for a foreign strand, Dire are his wrongs, and heavy are his ills.
Why hail'd our fathers, Caledonia's clime? And why prefer'd the horrors of the North? With was their choice! for freedom stalk'd sublime On Clyde's gay borders, & the banks of Forth.
Sweet is the gale from Idumæa's groves, Lovely the vale where proud Damascus tow- ers; Yet there in blood stain'd steel, the tyrant roves, And just equality & holy right o'erpower.
Shou'd Nature act the despot in the soil, Aged in the tempest, madden in the wave? And should brief man in imitation boil, Where shall humanity her children save?
Blest be the chiefs of Massachusetts bay, Who rear'd the standard of the Rights of Man, Who in the desert pointed out the way Where free-born minds might live on Free- dom's plain;
Hither, ye youths of Europe, let us rove, Round the proud city by Ohio's wave; Where Freedom is, there is the patriot's home; Where Freedom is, there also dwell the brave.
ANECDOTE.
One day, Earl Pempey, in the course of con- versation with a lady at court, complained that some of her ladyship's relations had spoken dis- respectfully of him. "Indeed, my lord," re- plied the lady, patting him on the forehead, "there is nothing in it."
Curious account of a Wild Man. From a work published at Paris, by M. Le Roy.
IN the year 1774, a savage, or wild man, was discovered by the shepherds who fed their flocks in the neighbor- hood of the forest of Yuary. This man, who inhabited the rocks that lie near the forest, was very tall, cover- ed with hair, like a bear, nimble as the ifars, of gay humor, and, in all appearance, of a mild character, as he neither did, nor seemed to intend, harm to any body. He often visited the cottages, without ever attempting to carry off any thing. Had no know- ledge of bread, milk, or cheese. His greatest amusement was to see the sheep running and to scatter them, and he relished his pleasure at this sight, by loud fits of laughter, but never attempted to hurt those innoc- ent animals. When the shepherds (as was frequently the case) let loose their dogs after him, he fled with the swiftness of an arrow shot from a bow and never allowed the dogs to come too near him. One morning he came to the cottage of some workmen, and one of them endeavored to get near him, and catch him by the leg, he laughed heartily, and then made his escape. He seemed to be about thirty years of age. As the forest in question is very extensive, and has communication with vast woods that belong to the Spanish territory, it is natural to suppose that this solitary, but cheerful creature, had been lost in his infancy, and had subsisted on herbs.
