PARIS, March 12, 1793.
The ADDRESS of Cardinal ZELADA, Secretary of State of the Court of Rome, to the President of the French National Convention.
Rome, January 14, 1793.
MR. PRESIDENT,
THE sovereign Pontiff, overwhelmed with the profoundest grief, on account of the two unfortunate events which happened in this capital on the 13th inst. and which has caused the death of M. de Basseville, charges me to send you this Address, and to beg you to put it before the National Convention. Sharing all the affliction of his Holiness, I have myself hardly strength enough to conclude this letter, and to assure you of the most respectful consideration in which I have the honor to be, Mr. President,
Your most humble,
and most obedient servant,
(Signed) CARDINAL ZELADA.
Pope PIUS THE SIXTH, servant of the servants of God; to the National Assembly of France.
CITIZEN REPRESENTATIVES,
DEEPLY afflicted as we shall be all our life time with the greatest truth at the murder execrable forever, and impossible to foresee, committed in our capital, on the body of our most honored and most illustrious son in Jesus Christ, the French citizen Basseville, by a monster, misled no doubt by the completest folly, and worthy of death; we have taken the mourning usual in greatest calamities and commenced personally the most austere fast, equal to our sorrow, and not ceased to beg pardon of the Supreme Being supplicating him to deign to make known to us the wretch who has rendered himself guilty of so great a crime.
Only consulting ourselves, obeying the first impulse of our heart, as likewise the duty prescribed to us by religion, humanity, the right of nations, and our personal consideration of the most high and most puissant Republic of France, we do not lose a moment to manifest to her the whole extent of our affliction which it is probable we shall not long survive; and to entreat her, with eyes bedewed with the bitterest tears, not to impute to a whole people, little enlightened in some respects, weak and defenceless, the crime of an individual, worthy of a thousand deaths.
To our grief greater than any human expression can make known, we join with the sincerity we profess, in all our actions, the affliction we feel, that our old age, our infirmities, and the distance of places, do not permit us to go to prove to the worthy representatives of the said most respectable Republic of France, our sentiments, such as we have expressed them.
We therefore charge in a special manner the most deserving citizen, whom we have known and distinguished in the three journeys he made to our capital, to go the instant our extraordinary messenger arrives, to bow down before the most respectable National Convention, to intreat them in our name, not to use against a people, a greater part of whom bemoans highly the murder, which we shall forever deplore, the forces which are in the power of the most high and most puissant Republic of France, nor to exercise upon them the rigor which a great and offended nation has a right to exercise.
Submitting ourselves, in case the most respectable Republic should deign by the organ of her worthy Representatives, to receive with some regard our present address, and to consider at least in her justice, in the magnanimity which characterises her, that the murder which we will bewail, during the few days which Providence has reserved to us, and in which the author of all truth knows, that neither we, nor our Government have taken even the least indirect part, submitting ourselves to compensate partly if possible, that too fatal event; we have resolved,
1. To send a prelate of our Court, charged to manifest afresh all our sorrow, and to claim the happy effects of the ge-
nerosity of the said most respectable republic.
2. To inflict the justest punishment on the wretch, whom we will not call our subject, author of this homicide.
3. To cause the havoc made in the palaces of the French Academy, and the consul to be reimbursed.
4. To banish from our capital and territories all Frenchmen, non-resident before the French revolution, and suspected of emigration.
And finally, to grant to other French individuals, every safety and protection, so as we claim, and dare fully and entirely to hope them in favor of the said prelate, our subject, on his entering the territory of the French republic, when he shall go to fulfil his mission before the most worthy National Convention, for whose happiness and that of the whole Republic of France, we pray, and shall not cease to pray to the supreme bestower of all grace.
By order of his Holiness, CARDINAL ZELADA. Secretary of State.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF General Dumourier.
HE was born at Cambrai, and has attained the fifty-fifth year of his age. His father enjoyed the post of Regulating Commissary in that city, and had sufficient interest to place his son, now Commander in Chief of the Northern Army, in a Royal Military School of Artillery—an art in which he distinguished himself so effectually, and made such a progress, as very early to attain military rank. At the battle of Crevelt, where he had already the rank of Field Officer, he received seventeen wounds, by one of which he lost a finger joint.
He was afterwards, in 1768, Quarter-master-General of the army in Corsica, commanded by Gen. Marbeuf.
In the sequel, he was promoted to the degree of Major-General Commandant at Cherbourg, under the orders of the Duke de Beveron and d'Harcourt.—When Louis XVth visited Cherbourg, the Monarch testified his esteem to the Commandant, by presenting him with a superb snuff box, ornamented with his portrait, and enriched with magnificent diamonds.
Previously to the commencement of the French Revolutions, and in the course of his military advancement, he was several times charged with political and military negotiations abroad. Among others, he received from the French Ministry the appointment of Secretary to the Baron de Breteuil, in an extraordinary embassy.
On the pleasures of Rural Retirement.
"Otium et oppia laudat rura sui." Horace.
A RURAL retirement is the happiest. Free from all the hurry and bustle of the city, there the husbandman reaps those bounties which the God of Nature so lavishly bestows upon him. He has no vessels which Neptune in an angry frame may hurry down the whirlpool of destruction. No cringing, fawning sycophants disgrace his humble cot; but the sincerity of an honest heart is wasted from the lips of content to the God of creation, whenever he mows the tender grass, or plucks the corn from the bending stalk. See him as soon as dawn with his favorite hound go whistling o'er the plain; driving his numerous flocks to fertile fields, whilst the shrill lark tunes sweetly her matin song, and sweet Philomel lulls ev'ry care to rest—Cares did I say? He is free from all the cares which those in the city experience. No dunning creditor e'er stops him in his course, but joyfully he passes the cheerful day, whilst under the shady tree his frugal repast revives his drooping frame, whilst yonder rivulet in gentle murmurs gliding down the mossy bank, affords him lymphatic, crystalline streams to assuage his thirst, and then when Sol in rosy vestments, tinges the western skies, the nocturnal
breeze is wafted round his frame, whilst he is reclining under the shady bower, and ambrosial zephyrs lull him to repose. His soft slumbers are never interrupted by the dread of vessels lost at sea, or debts that are irrecoverable.
Some VERSES, said to have been composed by MARIA ANTOINETTA, as preparatory to her death, occasioned the following effusions of compassion and regret.
Merciful Heaven! [bolt, THOU, rather with thy sharp and sulph'rous Split'st the unwedgeable and gnarled oak, Than the soft myrtle. But Man, vain Man! Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven, As make the Angels weep.
SHAKESPEAR.
The Captive Queen.
"What Seraph calls me? Sure I hear— 'Tis madness all, or wild despair, When Echo round the weeping Dome Responsive awans the Sufferer home."
NO Child of Sorrow, not for thee Yond tomb unfolds its marble vest, And bears its deeply cavern'd breast, Where calm unconscious slumbers reign, Blest opiate of the bosom's pain! From whose oblivious draught restor'd, Supremely soars thy martyr'd Lord; Triumphs o'er Fate and smiles on VICTORY.
Child of Theresa! bravely dare To earth thy great example give, Scorn the black mandate of DESPAIR, Defy his dart, and dare to live; Tho' on thy breast of alpine snow, The tears of burning anguish flow, And soil'd in dust, those locks are found, Which erst a kneeling nation bound; Those eyes in fearful frenzy roll, Where beam'd the splendor of the soul; Or fix'd and dim with leaden care, The wild'ning orbs forget to move, And to the midnight of despair, Resign those liquid lamps of love.
Tho' on thy cheek's delicious glow, GRIEF's dejolating tempests blow, And rule with unresisted sway, And tear each with'ring charm away, Yet shall thy soul transcendant shine; Un sullied by the impious hand, Yet an enliven'd WORLD command, And round thy brows unfading chaplets twine.
Bright heiress of THERESA's fame, Offspring of many a troubled throne.* Who like the gem of morning shone, A Daughter, Sister, Wife of Kings, From whom an infant Monarch springs, That by hereditary claim, Will many a suffering virtue share, Recall thy long imperial line, Assume the energy divine, Of HER whose angel form you bear.
THOU who in triple chains could bind The full dominion of the mind! By BEAUTY's magic empire move The pulses of the soul to love, And with the MIND's resistless ray, Bear ev'ry dazzled sense away, Or from thy SCEPTER'D STATE impart Allegiance to the homag'd heart.
Now unheeded, lost, alone, The desolated charmer lies, Startling as the frequent groan Round the haunted turret flies.
Pent within the tragic tower, At dim midnight's sullen hour, As the broken slumbers roll Paisons round thy numbing soul, And with suffocated breath, Bear thee to the scene of death, Where the royal victim fell— Glutting ev'ry fiend of hell, While the Brood of Murder, bore Trophies from his dropping gore— When thy gasping senses lie Fetter'd with insanity, Thy limbs in struggling anguish toss, And all thy fine perceptions lost, 'Till the morning's dubious ray Sheds the chilling tear of day, And the quiv'ring phantoms fall
Down the deep embattled wall, Piercing with disastrous light, Through the pinions of the night, When the tocsin's deadly knell Flings its petrifying spell, And with question, sadly wild, Clings each agonizing child, Weeping in the guarded tomb Where its infant days consume; When the trumpet's blast extends, And the iron gripe of power Thy convulsive bosom rends, 'Till its torpid streams dispense Horror to the freezing sense, And the curse of life restore: Then restrain thy desperate hand, Then thy starting soul command, Ere the Scene of Ruin close Triumph in unbounded woes; To Fame's far heights with mind unvanquish'd soar, And teach creation's myriads to adore. Thus some fair Pile—in Egypt's arid vale, Tho' noxious winds, & smothering sands assail, No blast pollutes, no fiercest sun appalls, Till min'd by time the beauteous fabric falls, O'erthbrown, not lost, its peerless Form displays, Of Art the Model, and of Realms the Praise.

Charleston, April 19, and the 2d year of the Republic of France.
NORFOLK, April 24.
Capt. Beale, of the ship Maryland, arrived in Hampton Road on Sunday evening last, spoke a vessel bound to Baltimore, from the Mediterranean, who informed him, that Admiral Truguet's squadron, having got the first intelligence of war, had captured a 50 gun ship and 5 frigates in the Mediterranean, without any resistance being made.
NEW-YORK, May 11. The brig Commerce, Capt. Shurtliff, arrived here this forenoon, in 35 days from Amsterdam, but has brought no newspapers, nor any news of moment later than we have had and published.
PHILADELPHIA, May 11.
A number of artists and manufacturers are arrived here in the ship Glasgow, from Greenock, and have engaged with the directors of the national manufactory at the town of Pateron.
"On the morning of Monday the 29th ultimo, a shallop from Morris-river, lying on her side, with her masts and sails in the water, drifted past the ship Indian Chief, commanded by Capt. Thomas Keown, laying at anchor abreast Bombay-Hook; Mr. Garret Hulsekamp, who was pilot of said ship, at the request of Capt. Keown, ordered his pilot-boat to convey him, the said Keown, along side the wreck, to see if any thing could be done to save it. The pilot-boat was made fast to it, and attempted to tow it into a place of safety, which prevented it from drifting further down the bay. At this period the men who belonged to the shallop, came along side, in a small boat, and informed Capt. Keown that they were in the shallop when she overset, at about 5 o'clock, P. M. on Sunday; that they saved themselves in their skiff; but that three women (a mother and her two daughters) who were in the cabin could not get out, and of course were drowned. Capt. Keown finding it impossible to tow the shallop, which still lay with her masts and sails in the water, brought her to anchor with a new towline which he had taken with him from the ship. This circumstance, under Providence, was the means of saving the life of one of the young women, who, though she had remained immersed up to the neck in water for about eighteen hours, was yet taken out alive!—It appears that the shallop-men cut away that part of the cabin bulk-head which was but just out of water, at the particular desire of Capt. Keown, in order to search for the bodies of the unfortunate women in question, when, to their infinite astonishment, they found that one of the young women had been able to keep her head just above water in the only corner of the cabin which was above the surface. It may naturally be supposed, she was nearly exhausted and senseless; but being taken immediately ashore to a house, she soon recovered so far as to talk rationally. Mr. Garret Hulsekamp sent his boat the two following days to attend the shallop's men. By this opportune and friendly assistance, her tackle and apparel were saved, she was righted, and towed into a place of safety."
BOSTON, May 15.
Original Correspondence.
FROM MARTINICO—April 18.
"Since the arrival of General Rochambeau, and the establishment of the patriotic Clubs, the alienation of the planters from the existing government has increased to an alarming degree."
"The name of PERCIN, a planter, in the vicinity of Fort-Republican having been mentioned in the Club of that town, an exaggerated account of the transaction reached him and induced him to disreputable measures: With a view of guarding against the consequences of these measures, he collected a few persons of the disaffected Class, and effected to form "a Camp of defence," which for some
time past has given great uneasiness. Of late, however, on the prospect of an English invasion of the Island, the disaffected party, has discovered itself more openly, and has been strengthened by the accession of numbers from this town."
"It was in agitation some time since to reduce this Camp; but as the measure was deemed dangerous in the present posture of affairs, it was laid aside: The project, however, was known: PERCIN's Camp was reinforced, and he was assured of support from all quarters, in case of attack, provided he should not be the aggressor."
"Such was the state of things on the 15th inst. when PERCIN suddenly appeared with about sixty men at the battery of Cafe-Navire, of which he took possession, and soon after retired, carrying with him all the powder stored there, and two patriots whom he had intercepted on their way to St. Pierre."
"The artillery-men stationed at the battery, brought an account of this incursion to the General, who immediately detached 80 men to Cafe-Navire."
"At dawn on the morning of the 16th the General marched, with 300 men drafted from the garrison of Fort-Bourbon, and soon after the second column commanded by Mons. DE ST. CYRAN, chief engineer, moved towards the left of the Camp, each column had a field piece. At 9 o'clock the General attacked the advance post of 80 men commanded by DE RIVAUX, and drove them from an height, after a skirmish of two hours; and the commanding officer was wounded and made prisoner. The General had eleven wounded, two of whom are since dead. It is supposed that his field-piece must have galled the enemy considerably."
"It is said, that had the second column supported that of the General the advanced corps would have been entirely cut off. This consideration has proved fatal to the leader, who was killed by a straggler on his return. He is universally regretted and the assassin is secured."
"In a military point of view, I do not see that the success upon this occasion is answerable to expectation, but the consequences of this skirmish, may prove important to the welfare of the Colony. Yesterday and the day before, the planters embodied in several places, but it does not appear that their intentions are hostile, and from a proclamation of yesterday, I am led to think, that perfect peace will ensue. I have been thus particular, as these events are commonly magnified, and have but too often the effect of interfering with commercial enterprises."
[The preceding is from an American gentleman of information. The succeeding from a French gentleman, who arrived here on Monday, in the Schooner Peggy and Hester, Capt. Davis who informs.]—
That on the 16th April, General Rochambeau projected an expedition to convey the powder contained in a magazine at Cafe-Navire, owned by the Chevalier DE PERIN, one of the planters, who had fortified his plantation, situated on the summit of a hill, a mile from Fort-Republican. To put his purpose into execution, the General put himself at the head of 300 of the patriotic troops, and gave the command of a second column of above 200, to M. DE ST. CYRAN, Col. of Engineers and Artillery. The attack was unsuccessful, and the loss of the patriotic troops 30 men killed, and many wounded. On his return, General Rochambeau issued a Proclamation, declaring his intention was not to injure the planters, but to punish certain Insurgents against the National Will.
An unhappy circumstance attended this expedition—Col. ST. CYRAN, suspected of treachery by his troops, was on his return shot through the head, by a concealed soldier, and killed.
The spot which the Chevalier DE PERIN has fortified, is so advantageously situated as to command the best landing place near Fort-Republican which must greatly facilitate an invasion of the English, which was hourly expected—not only of Martinico, but of Guadaloupe.
THE VISCOUNT DE NOAILLES,
Mentioned in the last CENTINEL to have arrived in Philadelphia, was one of the French officers who so nobly distinguished themselves in America, during our revolution. He was one of the earliest promoters of the first French Revolution; and is said to have brought with him to the United States, near a million and an half of livres, in specie.
Capt. HILLS, the gentleman who was employed in the survey of the projected Grand Canal from Connecticut river to this town, is now on a journey of observation
and survey of the Eastern parts of this Commonwealth.
PHINEAS BOND, Esq. His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General for the southern States, has arrived at Philadelphia.
From the change in the British Consular Jurisdiction, in the United States, it is supposed, Sir JOHN TEMPLE, the Consul-General for the eastern States, will reside in this town.
A letter received at New-York from Paris, mentions, that the Lady of that unfortunate friend to America, the Marquis de la Fayette, may be soon expected to sail for the United States; where she will receive a cordial welcome.
MAY 20.
The Queen of France, it is said, is to be tried by the new Revolutionary Tribunal.—Baron Trenck is arrived at Havre-de-Grace. The late failures in England are stated to amount to 12 millions sterling. A general Amnesty in favour of the Belgians has been published by the Emperor of Germany, even Vandernoot and Van Eupen are not excluded from the Benefits of it. The Ganges, East-Indiamen, supposed to have been run ashore near port L'Orient, is arrived at Falmouth. The Republic of Venice have acknowledged the French Republic, and declared a neutrality on their part in the present war.
Saturday arrived here the Schooner Friends Adventure, Hugh Manning, master, 18 days from South-Carolina.—Capt. Manning saw two French Privateers cruising off Chesapeake bay: And spoke a brig from Jamaica, bound to New-York, which had several shot fired into her, but escaped being taken.
On the 7th of April a French seventy-four gun ship arrived at Port-au-Prince, with a commissary on board, sent by the government of Old France. The town had resolved not to receive him, and the ship was determined he should land. The American vessels were notified to leave the harbour, and a severe cannonade succeeded, the immediate cause of which we do not yet learn.
We learn, that the Ports of St. Christopher, Grenada and Antigua, are open for the importation of provisions and lumber in American vessels.
Basseterre and Point-Petre are freely opened to the vessels of the United States of America.
The Assembly of St. Lucy, has decreed that all the ports of the island shall be opened to all neutral vessels.
A large number of French emigrants have lately arrived in Canada, and we are credibly informed, that not less than 60 Roman catholic Priests grace this exile band.
The commander in chief of the Canadas has issued a proclamation, commanding his Majesty's subjects to make prizes of all French vessels that fall in their power.
SHIP NEWS.
A large ship was seen in our outer harbour, on Thursday last. She stood in for two hours, then put about and stood out to sea:—Supposed to be a British cruiser.
Yesterday arrived, the brig Noah's Ark, Night, master, 10 days from Philadelphia.—The French Ambassador is certainly arrived at that Place,—and it was supposed that Congress would soon be in session.
Yesterday arrived the brig Cicero, Patterson, master, 21 days from Cape-Francois.—By this arrival we are inform'd, that the whole town of Port-au Prince is laid in ashes, excepting only three or four houses.
FROM HOLLAND.
There are letters in town from Amsterdam, of the date of April 3d. They give but little political information, owing to the various and contradictory accounts which are in constant circulation there.—They confirm the retrograde movements of the French arms; but how far they do not say.
PHILADELPHIA,
Extract of a letter from London, dated April 3d, 1793.
"In consequence of our Legislature having passed the Alien and Traiterous Bills, and other offensive proceedings, the Convention of France has prohibited all communication whatever between the two countries—and which, of course, cuts off all correspondence with Spain, and those countries to which France was the medium for mails. This interruption to commerce will be severely felt by England, until Government has opened other channels of correspondence; and which will be a work of some time."
"The War is carried on with uncommon fury on both sides,—so much so, that during the last two or three weeks, there have been the most desperate battles fought, that modern times afford any examples of. The dreadful result of them is a carnage of not less than thirty thousand lives, besides the proportionate number of mutilated and mangled bodies of the wretched surviving wounded men."
"Owing to the stoppage of the Mails, as above, our accounts are very imperfect, but there is little doubt the French will be obliged to evacuate the Dutch and Austrian Netherlands."
One of the French passengers drowned at Lewistown, we are credibly informed, was the Secretary of Citizen GENEST the Ambassador from the French National Convention to the United States of America.
On Saturday arrived the Schooner Eagle, Capt. Jones, in eight days from Charleston.
On the 2d inst. passed the wreck of the ship Olive Branch, of Gloucester, laden with corn, Samuel Saunders, master, her foremast and bowsprit only were standing, and by all appearance half full of water—soon after came up with the sloop Hawk, of Newhaven, having on board the mate and some of the people of the Olive Branch.
The mate informed that they left N. Carolina on the 27th of April, and on Sunday the 28th, they sprung a leak which obliged them to cut away their main and mizen masts; further adds, that the Captain and four of the ship's crew went on board a Schooner bound to Rhode-Island.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Amsterdam, to his correspondent in this city, dated March 1st, 1793.
"The celebrated sculptor, Mr. CERA CHI, who returned from America last summer, arrived at Rome, and soon after his arrival commenced the sculpture of the bust of the President of the United States. The populace being informed thereof, surrounded his house and threatened him with destruction. He providentially made his escape, and has since arrived safe at Munich."
We are informed, that there is a British frigate cruising off the Delaware Bay.
SAYBROOK, May 4.
Singular Engagement.
Capt. Daniel Clark and Mr. Phineas Pratt, of this town, being a few days since at work in the woods, near a ledge of rocks, discovered two Black Snakes, which they killed; a few moments after which, they found themselves surrounded by a very great number of the same species of snakes, which they engaged and killed 25 of them; the remainder retreated. The men then left the ground, but soon after returning, they found some boys in the same place, engaged with a larger number than appeared at the first encounter; the snakes were again repulsed, leaving on the ground 27 more dead; which added to those killed before, makes in the whole 52. They were of the largest of their kind, and very fierce.
The pithy testimony of the great Lord Chief Justice HALE, on the observance of the SABBATH, a testimony, notwithstanding its brevity, better calculated to induce mankind to practical piety, than volumes of polemical divinity:
"I HAVE ever found," says his Lordship, "by a strict and diligent observation, that a due observance of the duty of Sunday, has ever had joined to it, a Blessing, upon the rest of my time; and the week, that has been so begun, has been blessed, and prosperous to me; and on the other side, when I have been negligent in the duties of this day, the rest of the week has been unsuccessful, and unhappy, to my own secular employments. So that I could easily make an estimate of my successes the week following, by the manner of my passing this day. And I do not write this lightly, but by long and sound experience."
PORTSMOUTH, May 21.

They immediately landed, and marched over to Point Louis (about 7 miles) and at half past three in the morning of the 15th, stormed the fort, after summoning the commander, (Gen. Mantle) to surrender, which he refused: There was a heavy firing for an hour, from the fort, when it was carried sword in hand. On the French part, 9 were killed, 14 wounded, and 285 taken prisoners, 80 of whom were regular troops, the remainder sailors from French ships and French inhabitants.—The English lost 7 killed, and 18 wounded, among the latter, is Gen. Cuyler, in the arm, but not badly. The Fairy sloop of war was to sail on the 22d for England with the prisoners.

Briard, inform, that the islands of St. Christopher, Grenada, and Antigua were opened for the importation of lumber and provisions in American vessels: And that on Friday 10th May, in latt. 38. 40. long. 68. 20. spoke the British Frigate Andromeda, Capt.

The Andromeda had been 44 days from England.
