TESTAMENT of LOUIS XVI.
Written by himself, and read in the sitting of the Commons, Jan. 21.
In the name of the Most Holy Trinity, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, this day, the 21st Dec. 1792, I, Louis, the sixteenth of the name, King of France, having been for more than four months imprisoned with my family in the tower of the Temple at Paris, by those who were my subjects, and deprived of all communication whatsoever, ever since the 11th inst. with my own family; moreover, being implicated in a trial of which it is impossible to foresee the issue, on account of the passions of men, and for which no pretext or means can be found in any existing law; having only God for the witness of my thoughts, and to whom I can address myself, I here declare, in his presence my last will and sentiments:
"I leave my soul to God, my Creator; I pray him to receive it in mercy, and not to judge it according to its merits, but according to those of our Lord Jesus Christ, who offered himself a sacrifice to God his father, for us men, however unworthy, and for me the most unworthy. I die in the union of our mother, the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman Church, who holds her powers by an uninterrupted succession from St. Peter, to whom Jesus Christ entrusted them. I firmly believe and acknowledge every thing contained in the commandments of God and the Church, the sacraments and mysteries, such as the church teaches and hath always taught them; I have never pretended to make myself a judge of the different modes of explaining the dogmas which divide the church of Jesus Christ, but I have conformed, and will always conform, if God grants me life, to the decisions which the higher ecclesiastics of the Holy Catholic Church give, and shall give, conformably to the discipline of the church followed since Jesus Christ. I lament, with all my heart, our brethren who may be in error, but I pretend not to judge them, and I love them no less in Jesus Christ, according to what Christian charity teaches us; I pray God to pardon me all my sins; I have endeavored to know them scrupulously, to detest them, and to humble myself in his presence. Not being able to avail myself of the ministry of a Catholic priest, I pray God to receive the confession which I have made, and above all my profound repentance for having put my name (though it was against my will) to acts which may be contrary to the discipline and belief of the Catholic church, to which I have always remained sincerely united in heart; I pray God to accept of my firm resolution, if he grant me life, to make use as soon as I can of the ministry of a Catholic Priest, to confess myself of all my sins, and to receive the sacrament of repentance; I request all those whom I may have offended through inadvertence, for I do not recollect having knowingly offended any one, or those to whom I may have given bad example or scandal, to forgive me the evil which they think I have done them.
"I entreat all charitable persons to join their prayers with mine to obtain of God the pardon of my sins.
"I forgive, with all my heart, those who have made themselves my enemies without my having given them any cause; and I pray God to forgive them, as well as those who, through a false or mistaken zeal, have done me much evil.
"I recommend to God my wife, my children, my sister, my aunts, my brothers, and all those attached to me by the ties of blood, or in any other manner whatsoever. I pray God particularly to look with the eyes of mercy on my wife, my children, and my sister, who have long been the partners of my sufferings; to sustain them by his grace, if they should lose me, and as long as they shall remain in this perishable world. I recommend to her, above all, to make them good Christians, and honest members of society; to make them consider the grandeur of this world, if they are condemned to prove them, but as things dangerous and perishable, and to turn their views towards the only and solid glory of eternity. I request my sister to continue her tenderness to my children, and to be mother to them, if they should have the misfortune to lose their own.
"I entreat my wife to forgive me all the evils which she suffers on my account, and the uneasiness which I may have cau-
sed her in the course of our union: as she may be assured, that I remember nothing against her, if she thinks she has any thing to reproach herself with.
"I earnestly recommend to my children, next to their duty to God, which they ought to prefer to every thing, to maintain mutual union, submission and obedience to their mother, and gratitude for all the cares which she incurs for them, and in memory of me.
"I entreat them to consider my sister as a second mother. I recommend to my son, if he should have the misfortune to become King, to think that he owes himself entirely to the good of his fellow-citizens; that he ought to forget all hatred and all resentment, and especially whatever relates to the misfortunes and uneasiness which I experience; that he cannot promote the good of the people but by reigning according to the laws; but, at the same time, that a King cannot make the laws respected, and do the good he wishes, but in proportion as he has the necessary authority; and that, without this, being fettered in his operations, and inspiring no respect, he is more injurious than useful. I recommend to my son to take care of all the persons who were attached to me, as far as his circumstances shall give him the means; to think that this is a sacred debt which I have contracted to the children or relations of those who have died for me, and next, to those who are unfortunate on my account. I know that there are many persons of those who were attached to me, who have not conducted themselves towards me as they ought, and who have even shown me ingratitude; but I forgive them (often, in the moments of trouble and effervescence, a man is not master of himself); and I entreat my son, if he should have the opportunity, to remember only their misfortunes. I could wish to be able to testify my gratitude to those who have displayed a true and disinterested attachment to me. On the one hand, if I was sensibly affected by the ingratitude and disloyalty of persons to whom I had never shown any thing but favors, to them, their relations, or friends; on the other, I have had the consolation of seeing the gratuitous attachment and interest which many persons have shown to me. I entreat them to accept of my thanks; in the situation in which things still are, I should be afraid of bringing them into danger, if I were to speak more explicitly; but I recommend particularly to my son to seek all occasions of discovering them.
"I should, nevertheless, think that I calumniated the sentiments of the nation, did I not openly recommend to my son, Mess. De Chamilly and Hu, whom their true attachment to me induced to shut themselves up with me in this mournful residence, and who were near being the unhappy victims of what they did. I also recommend to him Cleri, with whose attention I have had every reason to be satisfied since he has been with me. As it is he who has remained with me to the last, I request Mess. of the Commune, to deliver to him my clothes, my books, my watch, my purse, and the other little effects which have been deposited at the Council of the Commons.
"I also most willingly forgive those who guarded me, the ill treatment and severity which they thought it their duty to make me suffer. I have found some feeling and compassionate souls; may they enjoy the tranquility of heart, which ought to spring from their manner of thinking!
"I entreat Messieurs de Malesherbes, Tronchet, and Desèze, to receive here my thanks; and the expression of my sensibility, for all the care and all the pains they took for me.
"I conclude by declaring, before God, and ready to appear before him, that I reproach myself with none of the crimes which are alleged against me.
"Done in duplicate at the Tower of the Temple, December 25, 1792.
(Signed) LOUIS. (A true copy) BAUDRAIS, Municip. Of.
Report upon the death of LOUIS XVI. made to the Commons.
Jacques Roux (priest and preacher of the Sans Culottes, one of the commissioners named by the Commons to assist at the execution of Louis) speaks:
"We come to give you an account of the mission with which we were charged. We went to the Temple, where we announced to the tyrant, that the hour for his execution was arrived.
"He desired some minutes alone with his Confessor. He wanted to give us a parcel for you; but we observed we were only charged to conduct him to the scaffold. He answered, that is true, and
gave the packet to one of our colleagues. He recommended his family, and requested that Cleri, his valet de chambre, should be that of the Queen; and then hastily said, of his wife. He further requested that his old servants at Versailles should not be forgotten. He said to Santerre, Marchous—let us go on. He walked through one court, and got into the carriage in the second. The most perfect silence reigned during the whole procession. Nothing happened. We went up into the offices of the marine, to prepare the proces-verbal. We never lost sight of Capet till we arrived at the Guillotine. He arrived there at ten minutes after ten—he was three minutes getting out of the carriage; he wished to harangue the people; Santerre opposed it. His head was severed from his body. The citizens dipped their pikes and handkerchiefs in his blood.
"After the drawing out of the proces-verbal we went to the Provisional Executive Council, who were busy in enquiring into the assassination of St. Fargeau."
Santerre—"You have heard an exact account of all that passed. Louis Capet wanted to speak of mercy to the people, but I would not let him."
Màure. A friend of Pelletier gave the following account of his assassination. He was dining yesterday at the Garden de l'Egalite, in a coffee-house kept by one Fevrier. Six persons came from an adjoining apartment, and one of them said, "There is that scoundrel Pelletier Saint Fargeau." "My name is Pelletier," replied the Deputy, "but I am not a scoundrel." Did you not vote for the death of the King?" "Yes, I did, but that was a duty imposed upon me by my conscience." Scarcely had he pronounced these words, when Paris thrust his sabre into the lower part of his belly, which occasioned a large and deep wound. Saint Fargeau requested that no hurt might be done to the assassin. He even had the courage to draw up an account of the manner in which the crime to which he fell a victim was committed. He was carried to his father's house in the Place Vendome, and expired this morning at one o'clock, wishing that his death might be useful to the Republic.
PARIS, Jan. 16. When EGALITE left the Convention yesterday, after voting for the death of the King—the populace, fired with indignation at the baseness of the wretch, would have killed him, but for the timely interference of his friends;—he attempted to justify his conduct to the people, but was silenced by their hisses, and nearly buried under the heaps of dirt that was thrown at him.
JANUARY 22. The unfortunate Monarch arrived at the foot of the scaffold at twenty minutes past ten. He mounted the scaffold with firmness and dignity—he appeared desirous of addressing the people, but even this last wish was denied him—Drums and trumpets gave the signal; and at twenty-two minutes past ten, his head was severed from his body.
The Place de la Revolution was so strongly guarded by troops, that no person was suffered to pass after the King had entered it—those, however, who had previously entered, and got near enough the scaffold, notwithstanding the indecent noise of drums and trumpets, heard him plainly pronounce these words—"Citizens, I forgive my enemies, and I die innocent."
After his death, the nearest spectators divided among them what of his hair had been cut off by the stroke of the guillotine! and several persons were so inhuman as to dip their hankerchiefs in his blood, which they afterwards carried about, crying, Behold the blood of a tyrant!
When the executioners showed his head to the people, cries of Vive la Nation! Vive la Republique; were heard on all sides, and several groups made use of the following expressions: "We always wished well to him, but he never wished well to us." Many, however, showed emotions of a different nature, but which they were obliged to conceal as much as possible, for their own personal safety.
His body was transported to the parish church of La Madalaine, where it was interred, without any insult being offered to it, between the persons who lost their lives during the illuminations on account of his marriage, and the Swiss who fell on the 10th of August.
The city remained quiet, in gloomy silence, through the whole of the day—in the morning, the shops were shut, and no woman was allowed to be in the streets till the procession had returned with the body of Louis,
LONDON, Dec. 27.
In consequence of a general order for disarming all foreigners, the Marquis DE BOUILLE was, at his landing in England, stripped of his sword. The sword was one of the finest pieces of workmanship ever executed in steel, and a present to the Marquis from the West-India gentlemen in London, on the motion of General MELVILL, as a testimony of their respect for his character, and of their sense of his liberal and humane conduct to the English prisoners, when he was Governor of the French West-India islands. There is no doubt but the sword will be restored.
DUBLIN, Jan. 29.
Private letters from London, received at the insurance offices here, say, that orders were issued from the Secretary of State's office for a formal Declaration of War against France, on Monday last.
The London Gazette received yesterday contains the King's order for embodying the whole of the militia of the county Palatine of Lancaster; also the Lord Chamberlain's order for a Court Mourning, which commenced on Sunday last, and will terminate the 7th of next month.
The melancholy fate of that good, but unfortunate Monarch, Louis XVI. has cast a gloom over even the seditious of this country—This crime was too horrible even for them; how must it then appal the virtuous and the loyal?—
"Hang be the Heavens with black." Every Gentleman in Europe will go into mourning for the murder of innocence and honor.
Louis XVI. late King of France, was born on the 23rd of August, 1754; he succeeded his grandfather, Louis XV. on the 10th of May, 1774, and married 16th of May, 1770, Maria Antonietta, aunt to the present Emperor of Germany. He is succeeded in the throne of France by his only son, the Dauphin, now King of France, born March 29, 1785, at present a prisoner in the hands of his father's murderers!
It is some degree of pleasure to the people of England to observe, that in a late horrible transaction upon the continent, the most rejected outcast and abandoned of their countrymen, renounced as he was by his native land, so far maintained the national character, as to exceed in clemency and justice, the politesse and urbanity of those who have been heretofore Princes and Peers of France!
The wretch named Equality has now filled up the measure of his crimes. If we reflect what his character always has been, that his crimes and his luxurious expenses added to those distresses which impelled the French people to rise against the old Government, that he was formerly one of the worst enemies to all that a people hold sacred, and that now he has embraced his hands in the blood of one of the mildest Sovereigns France ever had, and his nearest relation too; in this view of his character, we will venture to say that he rises higher in the scale of atrocious villainy than even Marat or Robespierre.—St. James' Chronicle.
England has been wise enough to guard itself from the admission of so unprincipled a character into her ports. The Irish Legislature is peculiarly called on to adopt similar measures for the safety of Ireland, by the connection lately and perhaps designedly formed in this country.

MR. ADAMS,
You are requested to publish the following method for preserving the Orchard from being destroyed by Canker-Worms; it has been tried by the Subscriber, and has proved altogether successful.
TAKE twenty gallons of thin Tar, mix therewith two gallons of Whale Oil, and so in proportion; apply it to the body of the tree, with a brush made for that purpose. The oil not only prevents the tree from being injured; as this insect lies only from two to five inches in the ground. Great care must be taken to begin to apply this liquor as soon as the frost begins to leave the ground, (which often happens in the last days of February) and to continue as long as any of the insects appear.
The liquor must be applied to the tree from two to six inches in width, as the quantity of the insects shall appear, and great care must be taken to begin to apply it in time, so as to have the trees smeared or daubed with it, before the sun sets each and every day. And should the snow fall in March (when there is not much frost in the ground) to the depth of nine or ten inches, and not frozen hard upon the top; such snow will not prevent the insects, coming through, or ascending the trees, therefore omit not to apply the liquor. Their passage up the tree being obstructed, the insects will fall back in vast quantities, and secure their retreat under the roots and bark, and under stones, if there are any piled round or against the tree, where they will discharge their eggs in immense quantities; and which if not soon removed, will hatch and crawl up and destroy that years fruit. In order to prevent their progress in this way, the roots-bark must be scraped off, below where the liquor was applied, then put about one bushel of sand or loam, to the roots of the tree near the body, which will bury the eggs which were scraped off with the roots-bark, and prevent them from ever hatching; experience having proved that those eggs will not hatch, when secluded from the air.
This method carefully pursued answers every purpose wished for; and I have only to add, that by thus treating my trees, one year only, brought forth a new vegetation upon them, and answered as valuable a purpose as five years in the common way.
The above is humbly subscribed to the Agricultural Society in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, by their most obedient and humble servant.
BENJAMIN UPTON.
A simple, but certain remedy against the pernicious effects of Worms on apple trees.
PUT about half a pint of Salt in a bag, and lay it in a crotch of a Tree. It will not only prevent the worms from going up the Tree, but should there be any on it, the effects of the Salt operating on the juices of the tree, will oblige them to leave it immediately. This experiment has proved effectual in the states of Pennsylvania and N. Jersey, and in the Western part of Massachusetts.

"We have very little to say at present from the very critical situation the different powers of Europe are now in, regarding Peace or War; the latter with France we hourly expect, and consequently the armies and navies of different states will want considerable succour of provisions, and your Continent, is the first we presume they must look up to. The depending crops of Spain and Portugal, are rather doubtful for want of rain, yet notwithstanding prices are by no means so favorable as might be expected—If a war actually takes place between France and England, Spain will we fancy join us, and in this case it may be considered of short duration, as the northern powers appear to be determined to crush effectually the French Republic."
APRIL 1.
There is a report that the British February packet has been captured by the French.
There are also accounts from Lisbon, of France having declared war against a long catalogue of nations—which the Editor of the American Daily Advertiser printed at Philadelphia, by the aid of a late arrival from Lisbon, thus describes:—
"Capt. Hodgson, sailed from Lisbon the 20th of February last, and just as he was getting under way, the pilot, who brought him out, informed him, that
Mr. Bulkley, a respectable merchant in Lisbon, had told the pilot, that an express had, that moment, arrived from France, with an account of war being declared on the part of the French nation against all the combined powers of Europe, who had refused to acknowledge their independence, or rejected their ministers endeavors to negotiate for peace, viz. Russia, Prussia, England, Holland and Sardinia: Spain and Portugal were not mentioned, neither does the captain recollect that Austria was amongst the number, but this may be owing to their being already at war with that power. There were forty-six sail of French ships of the line ready to go to sea.
The general opinion, however, was, that this war will be chiefly carried on by mercantile shipping, as the merchants and every person of ability in France, will fit out fighting vessels at their own expence, which the government will commission. There was no mention made at Lisbon of any injury being offered, or intended by the French to the Queen or her children—neither did the French accounts say a word of any intention to bring her to trial.
BOSTON, April 6.
Yesterday arrived here the Schooner Abigail, Capt. Gooch, in 37 days from Cadiz. The Captain mentions the following, as the current reports of the day, at that place:
That the National Convention of France, had declared WAR against Great-Britain and Holland, the first of February last:—That it was the general opinion at Cadiz, that if Spain should take an active part in the War, it would be in favour of the French Nation; as the Spaniards were confident they had not forces sufficient to oppose their progress, as enemies, to the heart of the Kingdom, by land:—
That twelve ships of the line, were in commission at Cadiz; but that very few sailors could be obtained to man them;—and government were fearful of issuing press-warrants.
That the enmity of the Spaniards against England, was such, as to induce an opinion, that if the King of Spain should declare war, in favor of England, he would be beheaded:
That there were reports in Cadiz, of the execution of the Queen of France; and that the Dauphin was bled to death by order of the ruling powers, a few days after the decollation of his father.
Some letters received by this arrival, dated Feb. 27, do not say any thing of a declaration of War.—Others of nearly the same date mention the event as certain.
The French Privateers will have fine game upon the ocean, should it be true that the National Convention has declared War against the European Powers.
The French have a very formidable fleet afloat, and very well manned.
There are reports in town, said to be founded on letters from various parts of the United States, that the National Convention of France had declared WAR against ALL the NATIONS of Europe; and have excepted none in the civilized world, except the Turks and Americans! This declaration we understand was made the 12th February, and was to be carried into prompt execution. The moment is big with events, of the most interesting kind, which must daily unfold themselves.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cadiz to his friend in this town, dated Feb. 22.
"That Spain was threatened with a War by France;—and that France had actually declared War against the English, Dutch, and Russians."
APRIL 8.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this town, dated Port-au-Prince, March 13, 1793.
"The army which is out on the Plains have got quarrelling among themselves, and are coming in to day, to leave the Plains to the mercy of the Negroes, and you may depend that it will all be burnt to ashes. The municipality made a request, or rather a demand, yesterday, that all the masters of vessels should furnish one third of their crew to go out on the Plains—which they refuse. They are willing to guard the town, to save their own goods, if possible. What will be the consequence of our refusal I don't know; but we suppose that they will lay a general embargo. The people are in the greatest consternation you can conceive of:—they expect when the army comes in they will again fight among themselves, and if they do, this town will again be burnt. There is another circumstance which we are afraid of,—a Commissary is expected here every moment, from the Cape, to enforce some act which the people here are determined shall not take place: how it will be settled God only knows. I wish I was clear of this place of confusion, tumult and disorder; but it is impossible, they will not let one go."
SHIP-NEWS.
Arrived, Schooner Abigail, Capt. Gooch, in 37 days from Cadiz.
Capt. Gooch, left the following vessels at Cadiz: Little-Cherub, Read, bound for Ostend; a ship, Capt. Atkins, and a brig, Capt. Collins, of this port; brig Sally, Capt. Strout of Salem; and a Schooner, Capt. Stevens of Marblehead.
In lat. 41, 35, near Brown's Bank, Capt. Gooch saw a new vessel, hauled up, of 150 tons burthen.
SALEM, April 2.
Capt. Edward West arrived from Aux-Cayes last week. He informs, that the revolted negroes still possess the high country in that quarter, and are very troublesome even in the plantations retained by the whites, contiguous to the town—where, lurking in ambush, people are frequently shot down as they are passing on business. The morning before Capt. West sailed, the light of fires was seen from the town, supposed to be plantations set on fire by the negroes.—He further informs, that in consequence of orders from France, the French merchantmen were obliged to go to the Mole, to sail under convoy, which indicates a maritime war.
At Providence, on receiving the news of the death of Louis XVI, the bells were tolled all the evening.

DIED On Friday 22d ult. at the seat of Col. Michael Wentworth, Miss JOANNA GILMORE; on Tuesday following her remains were conveyed to the Church, where a sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Ogden, from Job 3, 17, before a very numerous assembly.
The Pall on this occasion was supported by six female friends and companions of the deceased, dressed in white.
This greatly esteemed woman met the advances of death with that pleasing joy, serenity and fortitude, which arises from the consolations of religion, and the prospect of life and immortality beyond the grave.
ACCIDENT.
Last Tuesday a small boat with two men and a boy in it, upset in the river—by which accident the two men were drowned; the boy, by receiving timely assistance from the shore, was saved.
