The following Answer of the House of Representatives to his EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR GILMAN's Address, at the opening of the present session of the General Court, came to hand too late for our last.
Answer to his Excellency's Address.
SIR, IMPRESSED with the importance of guarding the rights of the citizens of this state—of preserving the peace of society—of securing those immunities and privileges which the laws and constitution have conferred—of extending protection to individuals, where they may be harassed by decisions subversive of rights which this state never conceded—The Senate and House of Representatives most fully accord with your Excellency, in the expediency of convening the Legislature before the time to which they were adjourned—They consider it their duty, to protect the citizens and rights of the state, against every unconstitutional interference; and this subject shall meet with their candid and thorough discussion, as it respects the dignity and independence of the state, and as it respects the rights and interests of the citizens.
The due administration of justice in this state, was the great cause and object of instituting the present government—Oppression on the one part, and delay on the other, tho' not equally grievous, ought to be remedied by every constitutional means in their power—and they feel great satisfaction that your Excellency did not omit, though painful the task, to notice such delay in your address to the Legislature. They will attend to your Excellency's recommendation of assessing a tax at this time—convinced that full and adequate provision should be made for all the exigencies of the state.
The Legislature will receive with pleasure any communications your Excellency may make, respecting the interest of the state, or the welfare of the citizens—and while they feel with sensibility the pleasure of frequently recurring to the principles of a constitution, founded on the Rights of Man, the first interest of society, however obscured by most other governments, they anticipate, with the highest satisfaction, your Excellency's concurrence in every measure they may propose for promoting the lasting happiness of our country.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
FRIDAY, December 19.
THE appropriation bill was read a 3d time and passed.
The House then went into consideration of the report of the select committee, on the part of the President's speech respecting indemnification to the sufferers by the insurgents in the western counties.
The amendment of Mr. Boudinot, on which the House had been debating on Wednesday, was read. It was for the insertion after the words "and other citizens," of the following addition, "personally aiding and assisting them."
Here a lengthy debate took place, and several amendments passed. Finally.
The question was put on the whole resolution as twice amended. Forty-six members rose in the affirmative. The noes were not counted.
There was then a message from the Senate with notice that they had agreed to the militia bill for the western expedition, with amendments.
The second resolution on the indemnification business, was then taken up in the House. Mr. Boudinot moved the following emendatory addition: "To aid such of the sufferers, as in his (viz. the President's) opinion, stand in need of immediate assistance, to be accounted for by them in such manner as may hereafter be directed by law." The amendment was carried, forty-four gentlemen rising. The committee who had brought in the report, were then ordered to bring in a bill.
There were then read certain dispatches from the Secretary at War. The reading continued till three o'clock.
Adjourned till Monday at eleven o'clock.
MONDAY, December 22.
In Committee of the whole on the naturalization bill, Mr. Cobb in the chair.
Mr. Dexter after some observations on the importance of the subject before the Committee; and expressing his disapprobation of the facility by which, under the existing law, aliens may acquire citizenship moved that the term of two years in the bill referring to the previous residence should be struck out and a blank left, to be filled up after more mature consideration—this motion was agreed to—another amendment was proposed by that gentleman referring particularly to mercantile foreigners who may wish to acquire citizenship—but this after some debate was withdrawn.
Mr. Giles then proposed an amendment the object of which was to impede a return to citizenship of those who should expatriate themselves—he proposed that a special law of the state from which such persons should detach themselves, should be requisite in order to their being re-instated.
Mr. Tracy—after observing, that altho' he was not in favor of a perpetual allegiance as understood by the British Government, yet he was of opinion that the return of persons who should expatriate themselves ought to be clogged with greater impediments than simply a law of a particular state—If the amendment be a proper one of which he confessed he had his doubts, he would suggest to the gentleman an addition, by making a law of the general government also necessary in the case.
Mr. Giles observed that the object of his motion was not by any means to lessen the impediments in the way of return to citizenship, but the reverse; he should therefore agree to the amendment of the gentleman from Connecticut—The motion was afterwards considered in several points of view, as blending state and continental legislation, as interfering with the legislative rights of the states by some, and as operating in the same manner in respect to the right reserved by the constitution to the general government, which is authorized pass uniform laws of naturalization by others.
Mr. Sedgwick having stated that his colleague had prepared a motion with regard to the kind of evidence, that an applicant should exhibit, of the goodness of his moral character and of his attachment to the Government: He requested Mr. Giles to withdraw his motion, for the consideration of the other, which he did, and thereupon Mr. Dexter moved that no alien should be admitted to the rights of citizenship, but on the oath of two credible witnesses, that in their opinion he was of good moral character and attached to the welfare of this country, which motion was seconded by Mr. Sedgwick who added the following observations.
He said, that the subject under consideration was certainly of great importance, and opened an extensive field of discussion. The present motion, taken in conjunction with that already adopted, had for its object embarrassing the facility, with which aliens may be admitted to the rights of citizenship. He would submit to the consideration of the committee, some of the leading ideas, which had occurred to his mind on this subject.
America, he said, if her political institutions, should on experience be found to be wisely adjusted, and she shall improve her natural advantages, had opened to her view, a more rich and glorious prospect, than ever was presented to man: She had chosen for herself a government, which left to the citizen, as great a portion of freedom, as was consistent with a social compact. All believed the preservation of this government, in its purity, indispensable to the continuance of our happiness. The foundation on which it
rested was general intelligence and public virtue; in other words, wisdom to discern, and patriotism to pursue the general good. He had pride, and he gloried in it, in believing his countrymen more wise and virtuous than any other people on earth; hence he believed them better qualified to administer and support a republican government. This character of Americans was the result of early education, aided indeed by the discipline of the revolution. In that part of the country with which he was best acquainted, the education, manners, habits and institutions, religious and civil, were republican. The community was divided into corporations, in many respects resembling independent republics, of which almost every man, the qualifications were so small, was a member. They had many important and interesting concerns to transact. They appointed their executive officers, enacted bylaws, raised money for many purposes of use and ornament. Here, then, the citizens early acquired the habits of temperate discussion, patient reasoning, and a capacity of enduring contradiction; Here the means of education and instruction are instituted and maintained; public libraries purchased and read; "these are," said he, "the proper schools for the education of republican citizens; thus are to be planted the seeds of republicanism—If you will cultivate the plants which are to be reared from these seeds, you will gather an abundant harvest of long continued national prosperity."
Much information, he said, might be obtained by the experience of others, if in despite of it, we were not determined to be guided only by a visionary theory. "The ancient republics of Greece and Rome," said he "see with what jealousy they guarded the rights of citizenship against adulteration by foreign mixture"—The Swiss nation, he said, in modern times, had not been less jealous on the same subject. Indeed no example could be found, in the history of man, to authorize the experiment which had been made by the United States. It seemed to have been adopted by universal practice as a maxim, that the republican character, was no way to be formed but by early education. In some instances, to form this character, those propensities which are generally considered as almost irresistible, were opposed and subdued. And shall we, he asked, alone adopt the rash theory, that the subjects of all governments, despotic, monarchical, and aristocratical, are, as soon as they set foot on American ground, qualified to participate, in administering the sovereignty of our country? Shall we hold the benefits of American citizenship so cheap, as to invite, nay, almost bribe, the discontented, the ambitious and the avaricious of every country to accept them?
We had he said on this subject not only example but warning—"Will gentlemen," said he "recollect the age of ages, which existed in the country from which we came, between the Saxon, Danish and Norman emigrants, and the natives of the country? The cruelties, the oppressions, the assassinations, in a word the miseries to which this gave birth? Perhaps it might be said that in this instance the emigrants were hostile invaders—but the same events took place, in the decline of the Roman empire, between the emigrants who were invited to occupy the vacant frontiers and the ancient inhabitants; altho' the former ought to have been united to the latter by every principle of affection, and gratitude. By these and almost an infinity of other instances, it would not be rash to conclude, that by the undeviating principles of human nature, whenever the inhabitants of one country, should be permitted to settle in another, by national affections, an union would be formed, unfriendly not only to the ancient inhabitants, but also to social order. Our own experience was not, he believed, in opposition to the general observation. Altho' this reasoning was to his mind conclusive against a general and indiscriminate admission of aliens to the
rights of citizenship; yet he did not wish it should go to a compleat exclusion.
It was said in support of what was termed our liberal policy, that our country wanted commercial capital—that we had an immense tract of vacant territory; and that we ought not, with the avarice of a miser, to engross to ourselves, the exclusive enjoyment, of our political treasures.
Mr. Sedgwick said he had never been convinced, that we ought to make so great a sacrifice of principle, for the rapid accumulation of commercial capital—He had never been convinced, that by an improvement of our own resources, it would not accumulate as fast as might be for the public benefit. We heard much of equality. Property was in some sense power; and the possession of immense property, generated daring passions which scorned equality, and with impatience endured the restraints of equal laws. Property was undoubtedly to be protected, as the only sure encouragement of industry, without which we should degenerate into savages. But he had never been convinced that the anxiety with which we wished an accumulation of capital, in the hands of individuals, was founded on correct republican reflection. The ardent ambition inspired by the possession of great wealth, and the power of gratifying it which it conferred, had in many instances disturbed the public peace, and in not a few destroyed liberty.
The vacant lands which some with so much avidity wished to see in the occupation of foreigners, he considered as the best capital stock of the future enjoyment of Americans; as an antidote against the poison of luxury; as the nursery of robust and manly virtue, and as a preventative of a numerous class of citizens becoming indigent, and therefore dependent. Whenever the time should arrive, and might that period be very distant, when there should no longer be presented to the poor a decent competence and independence, as the effect of industry and economy, which would generally be the case, when lands were no longer to be obtained, on their present easy and reasonable terms, then, that description of men, now perhaps the most happy and virtuous, would become miserable to themselves and a burden to the community. Now the man who entered on the stage of life, without property, had a reasonable assurance, that a few years of industry and economy, would give him independence, competence and respectability. The prospect gave relish and effect to his labors. He planted himself on the frontiers, and cultivated in his posterity every useful and manly virtue—This was his treasure and it was a glorious one.
Mr. Sedgwick said he considered America as in possession of a greater stock of enjoyment than any other people on earth. That it was our duty to husband it with care; yet he could not altogether exclude such virtuous individuals, as might fly here, as to an asylum against oppression. On the one hand, he would not dissipate our treasures with the thoughtless profusion of prodigal; nor would he, on the other hand, hoard them, as in the unfeeling grasp of a miser. "Our glorious fabric," said he, "has been cemented by the richest blood of our country, and may it long continue to shelter us against the blasts of poverty, of anarchy, and of tyranny."
The present, Mr. Sedgwick said, he believed the most inauspicious time for the indiscriminate admission of aliens to the rights of citizenship. A war, the most cruel and dreadful which had been known for centuries, was now raging in all those countries from which emigrants were to be expected. The most fierce and unrelenting passions were engaged in a conflict; which shook to their foundations all the ancient political structures in Europe. This contest was supported on the one hand by men who believed personal political distinctions were necessary to the great purpose of security; and on the other by those who thought that society could be protected and individuals secured by a government with departments, and without checks; neither embracing the principles established here, where with-

out privileged orders distinct portions of power were to be deposited in different hands, in such manner that it was almost impossible for the mind even to conceive that the different departments should form an union for any mischievous purpose; and altogether impossible to believe that without such concurrence either alone should be capable of executing any wicked design.
Could, he asked, any reasonable man believe, that men who actuated by such passions, had fought on grounds so opposite, almost equally distant, from the happy mean we had chosen, would here mingle in social affections with each other, or with us? That their passions and prejudices would subside as soon as they should set foot in America? or that possessing those passions and prejudices they were qualified to make or to be made the governors of Americans?
He believed that the amendment now proposed by his colleague, in conjunction with that which had already succeeded, would on the one hand check the admission of foreigners in such numbers as might be dangerous to our political institutions; and on the other, that it would not exclude such meritorious individuals as might be willing to serve the apprenticeship which might qualify them to assume the character and discharge the duties of American citizens.
He concluded by saying, that he had always been opposed to the policy of the government on this subject—that his opposition had not been abated by reflection, but increased by the existing state of things in Europe.
State of French Politicks,
From the fall of ROBESPIERRE, to the 7th November.
WRITTEN IN FRANCE, AND COMMUNICATED BY CAPT. BRADFORD, JUST ARRIVED FROM L'ORIENT.
THE denouncing of ROBESPIERRE was an event that affected the French nation as much as the destruction of the Bastile, or the deposing their King—and the 28th July 1794, was as great a revolution at Paris as the 14th of July 1789, or the 10th August 1792.
The Convention were at their sitting six and thirty hours, and the night between the 27th and 28th, the city of Paris saw two hundred thousand men in arms, ready to fall upon they did not know who.
ROBESPIERRE, with his accomplices, COUTHON and ST. JUST, had been sent from the National Convention under arrest; but the keepers of the prisons, were all so much in their interest, that they would not receive them, and during the confusion they escaped their guards, and sought a sanctuary with the Municipality of the city, who were assembled and ready to receive and protect them. In the midst of this Assembly, all their friends, they were again arrested, at 12 o'clock at night, by two resolute members of the Convention, accompanied by only a few gens d'armes, or national guards.—This intrepid band rushed into the hall where the Commune were assembled, discharged their pistols at, and wounded the traitor. The boldness of this attack, together with the fall of their leader, so intimidated the rest, that they made no resistance, but as fast as possible dispersed. A few hours more brought these principal traitors to the scaffold—and the day after, CANTAL the Mayor, HENRIOT the commander of the armed force of Paris, and the greatest part of the Municipality followed, to lay their heads at the same shrine.
Thus the storm which had gathered with the suddenness, and threatened to be followed with the destruction of the most violent tornado, soon happily abated, and a calm and peaceful scene ensued.
After the destruction of this new tyrant, the National Convention assumed a milder plan of government. Le Glaive de la Loi found some respite from its before continual labours—The people trembled that they had so long blessed the hand that oppressed them; and their execrations of this Nero were every where equal to the blind adoration which they had before paid him; but the general horror which had pervaded all ranks, as well in the Convention, as without, from the continual action of the guillotine, began now to subside—liberty of opinion and speech were renewed, and that confidence between man and man, the basis of social happiness, which had been destroyed by a long train of bloody proceedings, revived as this system of terror abated.
After the Convention had cleared away the rubbish of this conspiracy with the heads of the tyrant and his accomplices,
they began to purge their committees—The Committee of Public Safety was new organized, several of its former members excluded, and a decree passed to have their members renewed, a quarter part, monthly, and some of their powers were abridged, the decree annulled which authorised them to arrest deputies. The bloody decree of the 22d Prairial was revoked—this decree respected principally the Revolutionary Tribunal, and was passed by the influence of ROBESPIERRE, whose sway was absolute—by it, death was to be the punishment of every crime, and the accused to be allowed no council or attorney, but a public Accuser was established to convict, so that few or none who were brought to this bar, ever returned to their families or friends again. This tribunal the tyrant had composed of juries and judges, either in his interest, or that dare not act against it, and thus, whoever he thought fit to destroy, were only accused before this tribunal, and the guillotine dispatched them—not less than thirty or forty victims to this machine of death, bled upon the stage daily at Paris and the tyrant's bloody mandates produced like scenes in different parts of the republic. This tribunal was now dissolved, and a new one erected, upon a more humane and just establishment, the accused were to be allowed council, and the judges were held, after they had found a person guilty, to declare with what intention the crime had been committed as it was supposed many well-affected persons had been led by the intrigue of parties, to act unknowingly against the principles of the revolution—between such and the real enemies of the Republic, it was the wish of the Convention to discriminate. The armed force of Paris, which had hitherto been under the command of one person, and which at this crisis had nearly proved fatal to the Convention, by the Commander, HENRIOT being of ROBESPIERRE's party, was now thought too dangerous to be guided by a single individual—this command was therefore, by a decree of the Convention, to be invested in a commission of five Members.
The 28th Aug. BARRIER, in the name of the Commission, created the 12th, to new organize the committees of the Convention, made a report, which was adopted, "That there shall be sixteen Committees of the National Convention."— [The distribution of these Committees has already appeared in the Continent.]
About this time, a quarrel began between the National Convention, and the Jacobins. This society, so proud and powerful, received a humiliating stroke in the overthrow of ROBESPIERRE, whom they, or at least a part of them, endeavoured to the last, to support. Their meetings ceased for several days—they at last came together, and with but an ill grace, felicitated the Convention upon the fortunate discovery of the conspiracy, and fate of the Traitors—and declared themselves ever devoted to the principles of the Revolution, and ready at all times, to support the Convention, who, upon this trying occasion, had proved themselves the guardians and savors of the Republic. This show of friendship, however, had but a short duration—they had lost their popularity, and the Convention had gained it—this was sufficient to give place to envy—and they took the first opportunity to find fault with the proceedings of that body, which they wished to rival. The Convention, among many other acts to soften the rigors which had marked the proceedings of the late faction, had opened the prison doors, and set at liberty great numbers of persons whom ROBESPIERRE had caused to be arrested; and who only waited their turn to bleed at the guillotine. At this act of lenity, the Jacobins began bitterly to complain—they declared that the enemies of the Republic, were restored to liberty—that Aristocracy and Moderatism , began every where to raise their audacious heads; and inveighed against the Convention, for discontinuing those severe, but salutary measures, which had conducted the revolution thus far, which kept its enemies in due subjection, and which alone could save the Republic. They addressed the other Popular Societies in, and about Paris, and called upon them to be upon their guard against these moderate measures, and pretty boldly intimated, that there was a new faction forming in the Convention, which, under the pretence of rooting up the seeds of the old, were in fact endeavouring to establish a worse upon its ruins—and that they had adopted this mild plan, as the most likely to serve their ends, whilst the passions of the people were warm against that party who had moved in the opposite extreme. They received, or pretended to receive, and published addresses from a great number of societies, in different
parts of the Republic, which declared themselves devoted to the Jacobins, and joined with them in protesting, that the new proceeding, only favoured the Aristocrats, and that these even began to oppress the Patriots—they were however accused of framing these addresses themselves. On the other hand, the Convention were daily receiving the thanks of the people, from all parts, in addresses, for their vigilance, in discovering, and activity, in suppressing the monstrous conspiracy; and highly approving of the justice, and humanity of the new plan of proceedings, they had adopted, particularly commending their prompt attention to the sufferings of those of their fellow-citizens, whom the tyranny of the late conspirators had dragged to prison—and declaring themselves ever devoted to the Representatives of the nation—that the Convention was their only point of rally, and desiring them to remain at their posts, during the Revolution.
It must be noted that a number of the Members of the Convention were also Members of this society of Jacobins, and these forming a party in the Convention, had denominated themselves the Mountain. ROBESPIERRE was the head of this party, and the Jacobin society its supporters, and by way of derision they called the rest of the Convention, the frogs of the mud-puddle, or of the morals; so much were they below the Mountain. The fall of ROBESPIERRE had reversed the scene, and this oppressed part of the National assembly, became the most powerful—and in order to harmonize the members among themselves, the Convention decreed there should be no distinction of parties in their body, and that the name of Mountain should not hereafter be mentioned. The Jacobins however began to rally round the Mountain, which they were determined should not so be crushed—and still ridiculed the other party under the name of the frogs who they said were raising their heads above the mud; but it was only that they might be the easier cut off.—Barrere, and Co lot D'Herbois were suspected of being parties of the late conspiracy, and several hints had been thrown out against them in the Convention—at last La Cointre, de Versailles, publickly accused them, and brought forward an act of denunciation against them, with four other members of the Convention, Billaud Varennes, Vadier, Amar and David—his accusation contained 27 articles; none of which the Convention thought were supported, and these members were acquitted, and the accusation decreed calumnious.
About the first of September, the Jacobins expelled Tallien, (one of the National Assembly, and the principal one in denouncing ROBESPIERRE) from their society, and a night or two after, this member was assaulted in the street by an assassin, who discharged a pistol at and wounded him in the shoulder; the wound proved not desperate, and it was not long before he was able to take his seat in the Convention again. The Jacobins were accused of being at the bottom of this, and they did not see fit to deny it; but rather made sport of the event, and cast several occasional sarcasms on the wounded member. These two bodies now came to open war. The Jacobins, declared that the Convention favoured the protected Aristocrats and Royalists, and suffered these to oppress the true Patriots; they invited the other Popular Societies to protest against these proceedings, and to withdraw their confidence from all who blindly acquiesced in them. And they resolved to hold no farther correspondence with any society, whose cry was Vive la Convention. This produced a new movement in the National Assembly:—Merlin, de Thionville, denounced the society of Jacobins as a dangerous and turbulent body, accomplices of ROBESPIERRE, who though they had assisted in overturning the throne, now when there was no throne to destroy, were endeavouring to destroy the Representative body of the nation. He denounced them as reeking with the blood of innocent victims which had been sacrificed under the late tyrant, and as desiring to bring back the reign of terror which the Convention had so happily dispersed. The Convention decreed, that a report should be made respecting this society, whether they were regenerated, or whether they continued the same party which had taken part with the conspirators, on the night of the 30th July. This spirited step in the Assembly, in some measure cooled the ardour of these flaming patriots—they saw that the people at large approved of the proceedings of the Convention, and were ready to support them against any power that should set up in opposition to them;
they therefore prudently drew from the field until their forces should be more equal to the combat.
Whoever shall, hereafter read the history of the French Revolution, will chill with horror at the different scenes of blood and havock of the human race, which mark the several stages of its progress. During the sway of ROBESPIERRE, almost every part of the Republic was covered with mourning; but at Nantz, particularly, this system of cruelty was carried to the most shocking pitch of barbarity; the inhabitants of this devoted city were carried by boat loads, and sunk together in the river, and so common was this scene that they had large boats constructed on purpose, with a valve or trap door in the bottom, to spring and let them down—from an hundred and fifty to two hundred victims to this new invention were sacrificed at a load—among which were crowded, indiscriminately, old and young, women and children, and, in many instances, women with child—numbers were likewise bound and pushed from a rock like victims of ancient Rome, into the river, to perish near their own dwellings; and so unfeeling were the authors of this brutality, that they made to themselves sport on these occasions—a man and woman were stripped naked, tied together, and thrust into the sea; and this they called a republican marriage; At other times, to clear the prisons, and make room for new victims numbers were taken out at once, carried into the fields, and shot like dogs. Just before ROBESPIERRE was denounced, one hundred and thirty two of the accused inhabitants of this city were sent for to Paris—they were dispatched with a guard, who had orders to shoot them by the way, 94 of them reached Paris, and were imprisoned; the rest met the fate destined them on the road. These 94 were now brought among the rest of the prisoners liberated for trial, they were acquitted, and their trial laid open the tragedy which had been performing at Nantz. Carrier, a member of the Convention, who resided at Nantz in quality of a Representative, or mission, was accused of being the author of this blood and carnage—he was one of the Jacobin party and the warmest advocate in that society, for continuing the system of terror, and the first and principal hand to urge this society to protest against the moderate measures which had been adopted by the Convention. In October a Tribunal was established, to investigate these horrid proceedings at Nantz, to whose bar Carrier, together with the Revolutionary committee of Nantz, were arraigned to answer for their conduct in this affair.
The liberty of the press was for some time a subject of discussion, both in the National Convention and in the Jacobin society. The most violent Jacobins were opposed to the unlimited establishment of this privilege, whilst the Revolution was still progressive. In the Convention many of the leading members were strong advocates for it; and the Assembly finally agreed, that the constitution having provided for this essential right of citizens; that as they had never invaded this right, a decree of theirs was not necessary to establish it—and that if it had been checked by the tyranny of the late faction, it would revive to itself now the influence of that faction was destroyed.
During all these evils, conspiracies, factions, cabals of parties, and dissensions at home—the arms of the Republic abroad were every where successful; never was a more glorious campaign in the annals of blood, than this has been to the French nation; a train of uninterrupted successes has crowned their armies through the whole course of it. Barrere, in a report to the Convention, takes this short, but comprehensive view of the victories from the 19th May, to the middle of July only, viz. "2d Prairial—in the first battle near the wood of Good-Hope, 1500 slaves were killed or taken. 5th Prairial—at the battle of the Abbey de l'Obbe, 1500 more. 7th Prairial—at the attack of Monting, 1000 vagabonds—from 7th to 15th, at the beginning of the investment of Charleroy, 2000 Austrians—in the brilliant affair of the 28th, under the walls of this place, 6000 of their accomplices. 30th the Chapelle de d'Herloyement, saw 200 perish. 7th Messidor—at Trefigne, 800 bit the dust. 8th—at the celebrated battle of Flaurius, by the successive reports from deserters, the fate of the enemy was 15,000. We reckon in this part of the frontiers, 600 deserters from the imperial standards, and we may join to these, the garrison of Charleroy, which surrendered at discretion 3000 slaves—total 31,600."
These were but preludes to future suc-

cesses, and the conquest of Leige, fort Lillo, Isle Cadnaut, Anvers, Landrecies, Quesnoy, Valenciennes, the important post of Sluys, on the frontiers of Holland, Conde, Bois-le-Duc, Wortins, Frankental, fort St. Andrew, Benheim, Coblenz, Cleves, and Venloo, by the Northern armies; and Belgrade, and St. Sebastians, by the Southern, followed in quick succession—and the Spaniards were driven on the one side, and the combined armies on the other, from every part of the Republic.
LATEST European Intelligence.
By an arrival at Charleston, (S. C.)
LONDON, Oct. 23.
YESTERDAY morning two messengers, Messrs. Lauzun and Slater arrived at the Secretary of States office with dispatches, the former from Earl Spencer at Vienna, the latter from the Duke of York.
Mr. Slater left the army on the evening of the 16th at which time, we understand no new movements of importance had occurred.
The accounts received by the Dutch Mail, serve only to tell us that neither at Leyden, the Hague, nor Amsterdam, can any regular intelligence be obtained of the operations on the Lower Rhine, or even on the Dutch frontiers. They mention, as matter of report, that the French have crossed the Meuse, at Batenburg on the 11th, Grave on the Meuse, and Emmerick on the Rhine, are both taken; the line of communication between General Clairfayt and the Duke of York consequently broken; and Nimeguen on the point of being invested.
A letter from the Hague of the 15th says, that information had just been received of a party of the French, posted between the Waal and the Meuse, having been defeated with the loss of 200 taken prisoners, besides killed and wounded. An article from the Hague of the same date, in the Leyden Gazette, makes no mention of this.
Oct. 25.
The Mail is not arrived, but we have received the following letter from a correspondent, the authenticity of whose communications we have frequently experienced.
"I have to day spoken with a person who left Amsterdam on Friday last who says that every thing there is in confusion. Thirty chests of arms were seized when about to be distributed among the inhabitants. It was reported that the Duke of York was on his march to that city; and in that case a general inundation would take place, which for the present, would prevent the advance of the enemy, as the late winds and rains were very favorable to such a measure."
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 16.
Every thing remains quiet here, though we are in perpetual apprehension of some violent commotion from the state of fermentation in which the minds of the people are in this city, and the environs—While on the one hand the patriots present addresses and remonstrances against the inundations and the entrance of foreign troops, the magistrates and the troops are ever on their guard. The Stadhuis is beset with cannon and guards, and the gunners stand night and day by the cannon with matches lighted. This day a fresh detachment of cavalry arrived here from the army, and paraded the principal streets and squares. Nothing hostile as yet occurred between the Borghes and Military, but the alarm is very great, and both parties are, it is supposed, secretly taking their measures. We have nothing certain from the armies. It is said that Grave has surrendered on the same condition as Bois-le-Duc, and that the French are preparing to besiege Nimeguen.
MARTINSBURGH, Dec. 1.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Richmond, to another in this town, dated Nov. 23.
"In the canvas which took place for the chief magistrate's office, a misunderstanding arose between Lt. Gov. Wood and Mr. Madison, of Borstourt; a challenge was given by Mr. Madison and accepted by Mr. Wood, & on Thursday a was shot fired by which no damage was done, except Mr. Wood's hand being hurt by his own pistol.—They stood only 8 paces apart—the seconds (Steel and Preston) interfered and settled the dispute to the satisfaction of both parties without a second fire."
"The lower house have passed a resolution, declaring that Gov. Lee, from the time he accepted the command of the militia of the United States, vacated his office of chief magistrate of this commonwealth; and I expect that a similar resolution will pass in the case of Mr. Lewis, who is gone to Kentucky on the business of the United States."
BALTIMORE, Dec. 25.
The Schooner Trent, Capt. Donaldson, and Regulator, Capt. Reeves arrived yesterday, in 23 days from Jeremie, and report that the disturbances have by no means subsided; that skirmishes had taken place between the whites and brigands, since our last advices from that place; that a few days before they failed, four blacks were executed; and that the British are expelling both the mulattoes and blacks; those who cannot pay their passage from thence to another port, they send to Jamaica, and sell as slaves. With those arrivals there came a number of passengers, hunted from their houses and driven far distant from their homes, by trusting to British humanity. Flour selling at eight dollars, and other articles proportionately low.
Yesterday evening arrived here the ship Union, Capt. Johnson, in ten weeks from Bremen. Capt. Johnson was short of provisions, and was very humanely supplied by the Thetis, and otherwise treated with much civility.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 26.
Yesterday arrived from the westward, and were lodged in the goal of this city, 20 of the Insurgents. They are such of the prisoners confined in the garrison at Pittsburgh, as were refused bail; the residue (about 100) are admitted to bail. They were escorted hither by a troop of Jersey horse, under the command of Major DUNHAM.
December 30.
"A letter of the 6th November from the Havannah, mentions, the appearance of two conspiracies on the Spanish main, at Sant-a-Fee; and Mexico—the Archbishops, Priests, and French Surgeons were at the head of it, and their intentions were, to murder the Europeans, and to form their constitution on the French model. The chiefs, however, have been arrested, and must have experienced by this time, the punishment due to their crimes."
STADTHOLDER declared DICTATOR.
The Stadtholder, according to report, has been proclaimed Dictator by the states of Holland, on account of the dissensions which reigned among the Dutch with respect to the propriety of opening the dykes. Aurora.
RICHMOND, Dec. 20.
Extract of a letter from Williamsburg, dated December 16.
"Our worthy and ingenious professor, Judge Tucker, has, from the slight hints afforded in the public papers, just made a Telegraph, which, if it be not entirely similar to that which announces so rapidly the victories of the gallant French, must, I think, at least equal it in simplicity and dispatch. The whole apparatus consists of an upright shaft with two moveable arms. We made an experiment yesterday, with a small model, the arms of which were only 7 inches in length. The signals were made from the cupola of the old Capitol, whilst the observer was stationed at the College, with a Telescope, magnifying about 40. The distance you know is nearly a mile; but had it been three or even four times as far, the result would have been the same. Three sentences were taken down in a very few minutes. These might by an apparatus sufficiently large, have been conveyed to Philadelphia or Boston, in as few hours; nor have I doubt, but by means of this simple contrivance, the most important intelligence might be communicated from one extremity of the United States to the other, in half a day, or rather in one hour, if every thing necessary were disposed in the most convenient manner."
NEW-YORK, Dec. 31.
A letter received by a gentleman in this city from his friend in Norfolk, states—That a vessel had arrived from Havre, which left that port the 9th November, the Captain of which mentions, that a Squadron of French ships had fallen in with an English convoy of 56 sail of victuallers, escorted by 2 ships of the line, and 4 frigates; that they had taken the men of war, and carried them into Havre, and that the prizes were estimated at sixty millions of livres.
The above account may be true; but we cannot vouch for its authenticity.
It is almost impossible to form a consistent narrative out of the palpable contradictions from the West-Indies, which are printed, and now confound the news readers.
Captain Anderson in the Nancy from Barbadoes. Dec. 4, arrived at Baltimore, says, that "a transport had arrived there full of troops," and that the rest of the fleet was daily expected. Capt. Phillips in the Polly arrived there from Martinique, same passage, says, that "neither a French nor an English fleet had arrived in the West-Indies when he sailed."
Further they write from Norfolk (and it is printed) that a vessel had arrived, which left Martinique Dec. 3, and informs that "the whole of it was recaptured by 10,000 French, just arrived from Europe."
Capt. Goodwin, in 17 days from Antigua to Hampton Roads informs of Gen. Vaughan's arrival without troops, which were to come from Gibraltar—Another account says—the troops from England are very few, and they depend on those from Gibraltar—That some British frigates were sent out to cruise for the French troops expected there.
The Gazette Francaise, of Monday morning, contains the following extracts:—
"Jeremie, Nov. 25."
"We this day learn from the Mole, that on the 18th three Spanish ships from Cuba, which have entered the harbour, confirm the news of the nomination of Don Arist Hissabel to the generalship of St. Domingo, and commander of their land and sea forces. He is to proceed to Fort Dauphin with the ships of war and 7000 men, after having conveyed the fleet for Europe into a high latitude. We are assured he had orders from the court of Spain to send home, dead or live, that monster Don Joachim Garcia."
"A letter from the Mole says, Gen. Williamson will arrive there within eight days, and 6000 English troops are expected daily; that the two generals are to concert their attacks, the fear of which has already determined Gen. Lavaux to send Lieut. Col. Pagot from Part-au-Paix to the Cape, to reinforce that place."
"We learn, that at Jeremie the most vigorous measures are taken against the mulattoes. The depredations of persons arrested in the last conspiracy having apprized the people, that there were yet 200 dangerous mulattoes spread about the neighbourhood and in various fields; a general review was ordered in the town, and at the posts, and secret instructions given to disarm the mulattoes. This was done, without difficulty; the mulattoes are imprisoned, and it is said, will be sent to Jamaica."
"We learn, that some Spanish frigates, from Europe, are arrived with troops at Fort Dauphin; that Jean Francois, and some persons concerned in the menaces of July 7th, are arrested, and that President Don Garcia has fled."
BOSTON, January 7.
SURRENDER of PAMPELONA.
By Capt. ELKINS, in the Schooner Hawk, which arrived on Monday, from Cadiz, and who left it on the 7th November, we are informed, it was currently reported, before he failed, That the French, after a siege of considerable length, had compelled the Spaniards to surrender that important place (Pampelona) to their arms.
From BERMUDA, Dec. 7.
"I have frequently seen in the American papers, the most bitter epithets applied to the inhabitants of these islands, generally; but there are here as good friends to America, as in any part of the world. It is true there are here, as in other places, villains who would plunder father or mother for gain. Messrs. GUTTRIDGE, who have so often been the butt of obliquy, have treated me with every mark of respect, and never speak of the U. S. but with affection. They have done privateering. Some American vessels have been condemned through passion—The Captains having French National Cockades in their hats, and spoken the most disrespectful of all in authority here."
Capt. JERRIS of Boston, has been brought in here by one of Mr. Wood's privateers. Finding him to be American, Mr. Wood would have nothing to do with the vessel; and flung the costs on the Captain of the privateer for having gone contrary to orders. Capt. JERRIS will recover all his property, to the amount of 800 or 900."

From Philadelphia, Jan. 1.
The ship Ariel, Capt. Decator 52 days from Bourdeaux, sailed from the river on the 9th Nov. and brings Paris papers to the 18th Oct.
On the 9th Nov. he spoke with the commander of the guard-ship in the river, who informed that he had just received the confirmation of the taking of Rotterdam.
NO PROSPECT OF PEACE
Yet gleams in Europe. The French do not entertain the idea—and the combined powers, particularly England, are making the most active preparations for a vigorous prosecution of the destructive war! Heaven keep America out of it.
NEWBURY-PORT, Jan. 2.
Last evening as a man was passing through South-Hampton, he was stopped by two fellows who robbed him of 80 dollars. He made some resistance, and brought blood from one of the fellows, by a blow he gave him with his whip, which we hope will lead to a discovery.
PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 13.
SHIP M'CLAREY.
The General-Court appointed a very respectable committee to take into consideration what should be done respecting the petition of the proprietors and owners of the late armed ship M'Clarey, &c. reported, "that a remonstrance be forwarded to Congress, and an agent appointed to support it at Congress;" after much debate, the House agreed "that a remonstrance be forwarded to Congress," yeas 76, nays 40; but objected to sending an agent to Congress to support it yeas 22, nays 92.
The House of Representatives did on the 25th ult. unanimously vote their thanks to His EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR GILMAN for his good conduct since his election into office.

The following remarkable words, or I may say, Prophecy are extracted from an English publication, entitled, "The Universal Museum, or complete Magazine for October, 1764," in the 368th page of said volume, is an essay on the true causes of the decline of the French Nation, which attributing the ill success of the French, in the last war, to the prevalence of female influence, in a debauched Court, concludes with the extract; which if you think worthy a place in your paper is at your service from
A reader of old Magazines.
"THE free unbias'd Parliaments of France abound with men whose talents put them on a level with a Pitt, a demosthenes, a cicero, or montesquieu; there are hundreds of great men in different stations and employments, I mean, of the middle class; but they must hide themselves from fame because they dare not produce their ideas—the hair-suspended horrors of the Bastile keeps them in constant awe.—They are obliged to conceal the strong spirit of liberty, with which they are inflamed under the mask of loyalty, and attachment to the monarchy. They remonstrate with force and elevation, against every measure that tends to the prejudice of the Province they protect. They can go no further, but they await the moment to strike the blow which shall lay the fabric of despotism in ruins: when this blow is struck, the effects of it will be equal to those of Magic: the cottage will be put on a level with the palace; the peasant with the prince.—Ranks shall be confounded, titles, distinctions, and birth, shall tumble into an undistinguished heap of confusion.—A new moral creation shall arise—the view of an admiring Universe, and FRANCE, like old Rome in her first flights to empire, shall appear with the sceptre of Universal dominion bourgeoning in her hands, out of universal confusion, order shall arise; the great of NATURE'S CREATING will assume their places—and the great, by title or accident drop despised into the common class of the people."

FROM THE APOLLO.
THE REAL BEAUTY, A SONG.
TUNE, LASS OF RICHMOND-HILL.
Verus amor nullum novit habere modum. MAN. True love knows no measure. LANGSON.
IN yonder rose bemant'd bower, A lovely Virgin's seen; More beauteous than the may day flower, The decks the dewy green.
This nymph—so bright With heavenly light, Has pierc'd me with a dart: I feel the pain And must complain, For it has reach'd my heart.
Her auburn hair in tresses flow Adorn her iv'ry neck; Her cheeks with crimson beauties glow: Her eyes divinely speak.
Chorus. This nymph, &c.
With majesty she moves along, The pride of every swain; For her each shepherd tunes the song, And pipes the rural strain.
Chorus. This nymph, &c.
Such is her unaffected way— She listens to them all; And with each modest swain will stray Where limped waters fall.
Chorus. This nymph, &c.
In her, my soul such pleasure takes, Such ecstasy—such love, That when the fair the veil forsakes, I mourning, silent rove.
Chorus. This nymph, &c.
Naught that can please my fair shall e'er Ungrat'd pass by me;— And what e'er her frowns incur, Shall e'er rejected be.
Chorus. The nymph, &c.
O! May that happy day arrive, When I shall call her mine; Till then—to win her heart I'll strive When songs, and tunes divine.
Chorus. This nymph, &c.
But if her heart should stubborn prove: It would be in vain to sigh:— But in an ecstasy of love I'll burst my heart—and die.
Chorus. This nymph, &c.
ALCADOUR.
Mirth and Falsehood inconsistent.
Who, for the poor renown of being smart, Would stick a dagger to his brother's heart? YOUNG.
DURING the last war, a sea-faring man courted a young woman at Limhouse , whom he got with child; soon after which he went to sea and left her: He saved some money in the West-Indies , where he stayed about two years, but could not be easy in his mind on ac- count of ruining the young woman. He left the ship and some wages that were due to him, and came home, with a design to marry her: Going into a public-house at Limhouse , which he had formerly frequented, and inquiring after the young woman, the landlord said she was alive and well, and had a charming boy; but (by by way of hum, as it is called) told him too, that she was married .—Immediately on this, the poor seaman left the house, rambling about he knew not where, and was picked up by a press-gang, and sent aboard a tender, where he hanged himself the very first night.—The news of this affected the young woman so much, that she died soon after, and the poor child was left on the parish; nor did the landlord, who was in reality a good-natured man, ever enjoy a moment's peace of mind during the few years he lived.
ANECDOLE.
AN Irishman, speaking lately of the ridiculous pomp, with which fune- rals are usually performed, said, that for his part, when he should be carried to the grave, he should not wish to see more than two or three friends attending his remains to the yard!!!
