LA FAYETTE.
Observations of Citizen Segur, on some remarks which have been published respecting the confinement of La Fayette, and his companions in misfortune.
Truth, justice and humanity, have made considerable progress within the last year; the influence of terror no longer operates, the violence of passion has subsided, the public spirit is formed, true liberty again begins to appear, guilt shrinks back from public view, virtue recovers confidence, proofs of generosity are exhibited, hope revives and consolation, is held out to misfortune. The great majority of Frenchmen are desirous of true liberty, order and peace; desist all ideas of a counter-revolution, and to whatever party those impetuous and unhappy individuals may belong, who retain the thirst of vengeance, they are proscribed by the general detestation in which their views are held, and condemned to inactivity. We may now almost venture to speak out the whole truth; we may venture to bewail the sufferings of the wretched under whatever circumstances they are placed, or whatever opinions they may entertain. A sigh, a sympathetic feeling for the unfortunate, a tear given to friendship, are no longer counted crimes: a voice penetrates the silence of the tomb, and the first founders of French liberty, driven from their country by the convulsions of the revolution, and by the the violence of parties, imprisoned successively at Luxembourg, at Wesel, at Magdebourg and the dungeon of Olmutz, because they would not belie their own principles and betray France, at least some consoling whispers pierce the thick walls in which they are immured, which reanimate their courage, support their firmness, sooth their sorrow, inspire them with a ray of hope at the bottom of their dungeons, and console them with the prospect, that if not France, at least hospitable America will afford them a secure asylum, and a late repose, which they have so dearly earned by those persecutions and sufferings they have been so frequently called to encounter. The British Parliament has exhibited an example of intrepid patriots, who have compelled the English government unequivocally to disavow the rigors exercised on those captives by a court, which is directed in all its operations, and supported in all its expences, by the councils and by the treasures of England; Germany itself, notwithstanding the form of its government, and the severity of those laws, which restrain the freedom of opinion, has produced writers who have been sufficiently courageous to pronounce the name of LA FAYETTE and his friend, to paint the heroic virtues and unmerited sufferings of his wife and daughters, and to convey to the ears of the emperor how grossly Subakern and vindictive agents abused his name and authority in order to commit cruelties as inconsistent with policy as repugnant to humanity. You who know the diffusive and electric force of truth communicated through the press from one end of the universe to the other, rest satisfied. It is indeed possible for a time to silence the accents of truth, but when once its majestic and terrible voice is uttered, when once public opinion has become its echo, the hatred of factions, the stern authority of thrones, are obliged to bow to its irresistible mandates; opinions are rectified, sentiments are ameliorated and policy itself, imperiously demands those sacrifices, which formerly it had so inveterately opposed. But now that the public opinion appears to be so decidedly pronounced, it is your duty courageous and philanthropic writers to assume a tone of moderation and not run the risk of thwarting its progress by injudicious violence, and by severe and irritating remarks; you would thus defeat your own object; you would exasperate those persons whom it is necessary to mitigate; you would perhaps even retard the deliverance of those friends whose sufferings you are so desirous to terminate. Rest satisfied with the disavowal which has been now made by the English minister; do not prevent him by your invidious from taking measures to prove what he has asserted namely, that he blames, the rigors, exercised on those prisoners, and that he has no share in influencing their confinement.
The emperor is at last informed
both of the inhumanity which has been practised under the sanction of his authority, and of the injury which his character suffers from the continuance of their unjust imprisonment. He must wish for peace, which has become so essentially necessary to his dominions. He must be well aware that in order to conciliate peace, mutual animosities must previously subside, and who will be disposed to give him credit for having abated in his resentment towards France, whilst he retains Frenchmen in chains in his dominions? The Executive Directory of France are not ignorant of what La Fayette, Latour-Maubourg and Bureau de Pusy, have done for liberty, at a period too when it was a task of so much peril to avow the cause of freedom, and a proof of uncommon patriotism sincerely to persevere in its defence; when its fate was as yet wrapt in the shades of futurity.—They must know that after the 10th August, France was divided in opinion, that persecutions were experienced by the zealous friends of liberty, which brought home the conviction to all Frenchmen, that any compromise between liberty and the throne, was no longer possible; they knew that this striking demonstration of the lot intended for all Frenchmen rivetted their attachment to the Republic, & by this invincible unanimity of sentiment paved the way for all their triumphs. The Directory have shown in several treaties that they are sensible that the French nation would be dishonored, if they suffered one Frenchman to remain a captive for the share he had taken in promoting the Revolution in the states of those princes with whom they may conclude peace. Let us then beware how we give them offence by expressing any doubt as to what will be their conduct in treating with the emperor: let us not by repeated and importunate applications deprive them of the merit which they ought to have in the eyes of the friends of liberty, in alleviating the misfortune of its first defenders, and let us remember that in attempting to do good, we ought to be more solicitous to attain the object in view than to gratify our own self love, and that it is frequently as injurious to a cause to say too much, as not to say enough.— La Nouvelle Politiques.
L. P. SEGUR, THE ELDER.
STATE PAPER.
Letter of convocation addressed to the plenipotentiary envoys of the associated states of Northern Germany, by Von Dohn, the Prussian minister.
The undersigned is charged by the express command of the king of Prussia, his most gracious sovereign, to make the following overtures to all their excellencies, the plenipotentiaries of the associated states of Northern Germany, delegated to assemble at Hildesheim. The general concerns of Germany, with regard to the continuance of the war, still remain in a most undecided condition, and the consolatory hope of a general peace, so devoutly to be wished, remains as yet uncertain and remote to the last degree, since the negotiations entered upon for that purpose may, alas! produce a farther and more obstinate war, rather than bring about its final conclusion. In this perplexing situation it certainly is a happiness which Northern Germany cannot sufficiently appreciate, to see itself entirely freed, not only from the miseries of this raging war, but also from the inconveniences connected with it, such as the requisitions of the belligerent powers, the passage and marches of troops and many other similar burdens. It needs but a slight comparative glance at the most piteous state of the countries of Southern Germany, formerly flourishing, and now ruined for a long time to come, in order to feel, in its whole extent, the happiness of the Northern parts which have, for the two last campaigns, enjoyed the most perfect tranquility.
The king is fully convinced that it can be unknown to none of his co-states who participate in this blessing, that it is the mere result of the indefatigable exertions of his majesty, by which he has laid a safe foundation for the neutrality of Northern Germany, and most effectively protect it by a corps of his own troops, and of the two allied courts. His majesty has further consolidated this neutrality, by the formal accession of his serene highness the elector of Saxony, & the whole
circle of Upper Saxony, in virtue of a supplementary article added to the convention of the 5th of August, 1796, by which a line of demarcation extending from the utmost coasts of the North Sea to the Lower Rhine, and from thence to Silesia encompassed the whole North of Germany. The two associations in this vast extent of territory must remain separate, with respect to the maintenance of the troops, drawn out to cover their neutrality, which is done in Upper Saxony by a corps belonging to the emperor himself, but with regard to their common design, they join hands, and by this enlargement, effected by his majesty, the neutrality of Northern Germany receives a new and manifest importance.
The king is likewise firmly resolved to secure farther, and until the conclusion of the war, the full enjoyment of the neutrality to all the associated states, to protect them and their territories against every power, and to defend them in particular, at all times, and in the most effectual and powerful manner against the incursion of the troops of the Belligerent powers, against each and every demand of military requisitions of whatever sort, and the levying of those requisitions which might be attempted by execution, and against all similar burdens of war; likewise to screen them by his most forcible interposition, during the period of this neutrality, from all the subsequent demands of supplies for the war of the empire.
The undersigned is expressly instructed to give once more these definite and most explicit assurances. It affords infinite pleasure to his majesty to have thus secured the invaluable benefits of the neutrality to all his co-states connected with his dominions by their topographical locality, in the same manner as it has been done to his own territories, and to have thus given them so strong a proof of his friendly sentiments. Besides, to gratify consciousness of having hitherto accomplished this happy end, his majesty requires no other proof of gratitude on the part of his co-states, than that they should continue as heretofore to co-operate in the maintenance of the troops. The king flatters himself the more to find perfect readiness on their part, since the burden which will arise from this measure to the countries thus protected, does not bear the most distant comparison with the manifold evils, and the probable and entire ruin averted from them, especially since the two courts allied with his majesty, and furnishing troops in a like manner, make the major part of the sacrifices required for that end. The latter circumstances must strike all the associated states with the most perfect conviction, that the continuance of those measures will not be prolonged a single moment beyond the period of their indispensable necessity. But the undersigned has his majesty's direct commands to declare in the most positive manner, that his majesty deems the continuance of those measures absolutely necessary for the present and he will only find himself enabled by the corps of troops which is drawn out, covering the line of demarcation maintaining farther, in the most effectual manner, the neutrality of the countries situate within their precincts, to fulfil their promises previously given. Yet in this, he will not compromise himself respecting those very possible events which accompany the vicissitudes of the fortune of war. But whereas the king is under the necessity of settling boundaries to the great sacrifice he has already made: and whereas the concurrence further demand of the protected countries for the maintenance of the troops who defend them, is so extremely just and equitable; the undersigned has also express orders herewith to declare, that in the unexpected case of the majority of the states not displaying the necessary zeal and alacrity, his majesty will forthwith withdraw his troops, renounce entirely all the obligations which he has voluntarily taken upon him from motives of patriotism; suppress totally the convention made for that purpose with the French republic, and confine himself solely to the defence of his own dominions, abandoning all the rest to their own means and resources, and making known his intentions to the belligerent powers. Should such a resolution once be taken, and the corps be withdrawn, no circumstances, of what complexion soever, shall induce his majesty to re-
cur again to the adoption of similar measures; and the undersigned is obliged to announce beforehand, that his majesty will at no rate interest himself again in the fate of those of his co-states, who shall not now accept of the friendly proffer the protection, made with so much friendship, and so many personal sacrifices.
The coldness which has for some time past been manifested from many quarters, respecting the maintenance of the troops, has induced his majesty to authorize the undersigned to make this frank and explicit declaration, and to give the well meant warning, not to suffer themselves to be deceived by the hope of a speedy peace, but rather to rely upon the sufficiently public spirited & patriotic sentiments of the king, and his majesty's knowledge of the general situation of public affairs, and to entertain the firm confidence that his majesty would certainly and with great pleasure to his co-states, save the burden required by the maintenance of the troops, if there were the least possibility of securing to their territories the benefits of neutrality, and all the advantages which have hitherto accrued from it, without such a measure.
That, however, (the saving of the burdens occasioned by the maintenance of the troops) according to the general situation of the affairs, being impossible, and his majesty deeming it absolutely necessary to preserve the corps of observation till the conclusion of peace, if the tranquility and neutrality of Northern Germany are to be maintained, his majesty doubts not but all his associated co-states will show their readiness for that purpose, in the maintenance of the troops, display proper zeal in measures so closely connected with self-preservation, and render practicable the farther execution of the benificent designs of his majesty.
With this confidence, the undersigned, by supreme command, has the honor to make known to you, &c. &c.
[Here follow two articles, specifying the supplies to be granted for three months longer, in flour, oats, hay and straw, for the Prussian, Hanoverian, and Brunswick troops at two different periods, viz. the 15th inst. and the 1st of April. In order to secure the subsistence of the troops in future, the states of Northern Germany are to meet in convention at Hildesheim on the 20th inst. or to send plenipotentiaries to regulate the quotas of supplies in necessaries or in money, for as long as the war may last.]
As those deliberations (in convention at Hildesheim) will preclude all subjects not directly relating to the maintenance of the troops, the undersigned will lose no time to terminate them with the utmost speed, and not to detain the plenipotentiaries a moment longer than shall be necessary from following their other affairs. The flattering confidence with which the undersigned has hitherto been honored in the late negotiations makes him equally confident that his zeal and activity will be entirely depended upon in that business. He is only most urgently to request, that for the sake of dispatch, the states may furnish their plenipotentiaries with full instructions for the purpose, which has been thus plainly notified, in order not to waste time in sending for new ones but that the necessary resolutions may be taken, not only for the farther substantial regulation of the maintenance but for the obligatory assent to the same, to the end of the war.
The undersigned has it likewise in contemplation to request that their excellencies the plenipotentiaries may arrange matters in such a manner, as not to quit the convention, till the state of affairs shall permit its suspension or conclusion, since the gradual departure of many plenipotentiaries has formerly occasioned a precipitate suspension of the first convention, which has been highly prejudicial to the dispatching of business.
His majesty will also consider the fulfilment of this wish, and the infallible meeting of the convention, according as it is expected to meet, as a gratifying proof that his serene co-states will to do justice to his efforts and sacrifices.
And the undersigned also looks forward for the desired answer, respecting the forthsending of supplies, before the expiration of the present month, and hopes to have the honor and pleasure to send again their excel-

encies the plenipotentiaries at the second opening of the convention, on the 20th of February, (Signed)

Mr. BRADFORD,
Sir, Finding in your paper of the fifth inst. an advertisement signed Charles Ewing, forbidding any person purchasing my settlement or pre-emption.
I am sorry to appear in a News-Paper altercation, but cannot with propriety omit endeavoring to undeceive the public in general, and such of your readers in particular, that it may concern, necessitates my soliciting your giving my remarks a place in your paper, it being the channel I received my information through, which advertisement I think merits my astonishment, pity and contempt.
My astonishment arises from his want of sensation of my generous treatment to him on different occasions, and in particular, by my forgiving him three hundred dollars he forfeited as a penalty in his not fulfilling his contract with me, at the time limited (being the first of July 1792) in tobacco.—Yet after I consented to receive what he sent forward, if it was good, although short of the quantity he promised, and went from Natchez to New-Orleans, for that, and no other purpose, being near three hundred miles, which by the inspection of a man, chosen by Mr. Brown, his attorney, it was condemned, a duplicate of a certificate of which, I am informed he received from Mr. Brown, and can prove he acknowledged to different people, I treated him on that occasion with generosity.
My pity is caused by his ignorance, in shewing his simplicity, after my sending him three letters a little before last Christmas, purporting my desire of seeing him, on or near the land, if he had any claim against it, one of which, he acknowledges receiving from Mr. Rowland, another I sent by Mr. Thomas, (a member of the assembly) that lived near him, who informed me, in Frankfort last February, that Mr. Ewing received said letter, and disclaimed any right to said land. His simplicity is augmented, by his exerting himself to sell said land to different people, without any authority, his right being founded on his payment, which he never made, but I presume, he thought he would fulfil the old saying of robbing Peter to pay Paul , who living in Appalachia, and consequently thought he could pay him at his leisure, with a long without a tune. And my contempt is caused by my considering him designing, which through charity for him, I must say I think he was prompted to by some of the people on said land, without either an equitable or legal right, one of whom, John Lais, went to his house, I suppose with the consent and desire of the others, to get him to procrastinate my selling the land, or getting possession of it, and thereby cause me to sell it under value.
Mr. Ewing sets forth that he has my bond for said land, which was a conditional agreement, that he in no part fulfilled, and the time limited therein is expired since July 1st, 1792; to demonstrate which, I insert his obligation to me, on said contract, signed at the same time and place, and by the same witnesses that are to the agreement, which I am ready to shew to any gentleman, and is as follows, viz:
"In case I do not fulfil my contract with Mr. Daniel Callaghan in the purchase of his land, and make payment to him, or order, against the last day of June next, come a year, then said contract is void, and of no effect, and I forfeit all claim against said Callaghan, in consequence of what I may have delivered him being three hundred dollars, which he is to deduct out of the amount of my obligations for the land, when I pay him the surplus, according to contract."
CHARLES EWING
Witnesses, Seth Hanchett. Thomas Laughlin. Benjamin Willcocks. Natchez, October 6, 1790.
The surplus specified therein, meant the difference between the three hundred dollars and the amount of the price of the land, and the three hundred dollars penalty inserted in it, we supposed then would soon be paid in tobacco, with one hundred dollars more, that I advanced him in cash and property he needed, when in Appalachia, and the surplus of the value of seven thousand pounds of tobacco, at six dollars per hundred, being twenty dollars I promised to allow him for, when he fulfilled his agreement, according to contract, for which seven thousand pounds of tobacco, he gave me another obligation that I now possess, it not being paid, by the tobacco then in his possession, being likewise condemned, and no part of it settled, but the one hundred dollars he owed me prior to the land contract, and in consequence of said obligation I assured the tobacco to Mr. Lewis Boidery, merchant in New-Orleans, at eight dollars per hundred, for five hundred and sixty dollars, in part pay for some slaves; which sum through Mr. Ewing's disappointment, I was obliged to pay in cash, at a time when Kentucky tobacco sold in New-Orleans at three and a half dollars per hundred, being after the time of my engagement with Mr. Boidery was expired, and he refused taking tobacco, on any account, it not being delivered in the time limited, and not admitted into the king's store, by which I lost the benefit of my principle object, in contracting with Mr. Ewing for tobacco, knowing said Boidery accepted tobacco in part pay for slaves: holding myself responsible for what's here inserted, and desirous to avoid News-Paper disputes, call on Mr. Ewing, or any other person having any claim to oppose my right of land, known by the name of Callaghan's survey, on the North side of the South fork of Licking, near Riddle's old station, to attend the next Federal court in Frankfort, where I intend applying for justice, and making known the claim of
The publick humble servant, DANIEL CALLAGHAN.

Such of m. ands in this state that I do not dispose of, will be sold by my attorneys in fact, Mr. Andrew Holmes, merchant of Lexington, and Robert Clarke jun. Esq. of Clarke county.
To the Patrons of Literature.
HAVING with infinite concern observed the little attention that is paid to the instruction of youth in the grammatical principles of the English language in most of our schools, both in town and country; I find after the most accurate enquiry into the state of the case, and deliberate investigation of the subject, that this enormous neglect must be principally attributed to the manner in which the fundamental & indispensably necessary science has hitherto been treated.
There are indeed a few systems extant which merit a considerable degree of esteem; but these being originally designed for young men who have been initiated in classical studies, are consequently unfit for the information of the ignorant, and entirely above the capacities of children.
The majority of treatises which have heretofore been published on this subject, are written in such a latinized, drolx and circumlocutory style, that they are almost (if not altogether) unintelligible not only to pupils, but also to teachers who have ever been favored with a liberal education: as for those few more philanthropic writers, who have condescended to write for general information, they have done it in so loose, superficial and unmethodic a manner, that their performances are utterly inadequate to answer the end proposed.
In order therefore, to remove these difficulties—clear all obstructions from the way of the learner, and, in a word, render all persons inexcusable, who will not acquaint themselves with the constituent principles of their Mother Tongue; I propose publishing a concise and comprehensive system, equally free from an unnecessary prolixity and an abstruse brevity: my whole ambition being to merit the approbation and encouragement of my fellow citizens, by endeavoring to promote a more general diffusion of grammatical knowledge amongst all classes, and particularly those who may not have an opportunity of learning the grammar of other languages.
