Extract of a letter from an officer in the United States' Cavalry, to his friend in this City.
Lexington, (Ken.) March 5, 1794
The main body of our army is cantoned on the S. W. branch of the Miami, six miles advanced of Fort Jefferson, and eighty from the river Ohio; we have also an established post on the field where St. Clair was defeated. The difficulty of transporting forage for the cavalry to the head of our line, induced the commander in chief, to send us to this place for winter quarters; and where we found people of fashion & hospitality. We have been ordered from this last month, and reached head quarters at Green Ville, the 17th, ult. It was intended the light troops should make an excursion into the enemy's country, destroy their towns and establish garrisons &c. but unfavorable weather prevented, in consequence of which the dragoons were remanded back to their winter cantonments, where we arrived the first instant, after a march of 160 miles.
The intention of the commander in chief will be effected no doubt by the Legion, unless a general peace stop the intended blow.
Arrests have raged at head quarters, some resignations have been accepted, several officers have been cashiered, many others have fallen by duelling. The day before I left head quarters, a duel was fought by a lieutenant in the first sub legion, with an officer of the same grade belonging to the third, which terminated in the sudden dissolution of both; this will cause a vacancy for the promotion of my friend V——.
Several valuable officers lay in the dust, who have been shot in single combat, and it appears that neither the severe penalties of the law, nor a regard for a future state, are any restraint on this fashion. Men of fierce courage and high spirits, often upon trivial circumstances, seek for prompt revenge which proves fatal in its consequences. It is to this practice officers in general attribute the gentlemen and complaisance, accompanied with that respectful attention of one officer to another which so generally prevails, and which it is said renders our situation in the army more agreeable than it would be without this custom; but what says found reason and philosophy? we certainly often get rid of troublesome men this way, but they generally lay aside good characters before they fall.
Our army is in high spirits, and have the greatest confidence in the commander in chief as well as in the other general officers. The cavalry is well formed, and is most assuredly a very fine corps. The resignation of Major Rudolph, our commandant of horse, I considered as a great loss; he was an officer of talents and high reputation in the army; he left our service and departed for France, where I believe he arrived in season to see the glorious defeat of the combined armies; by the bare legged freemen of the French Republic.
Our park of artillery is in ample order, the officers generally well appointed, and men properly chosen for the service; the infantry and riflemen cannot be excelled in discipline and martial appearance. If war is the alternative with Britain, it may be considered a fortunate circumstance, that the U. S. have so fine a legion of regular troops embodied, prepared for any emergency.
If England should drive us to the extremity to obtain compensation for her piratical captures of American vessels; and hostilities commence on our part, I do believe our army can reduce all the posts from Detroit to Quebec. But for, I sincerely hope the calamity of war may be avoided, and that that haughty and imperious nation may satisfy our citizens for her unlawful seizures.
Satisfaction to our commercial men will not answer alone, we must not suffer the western posts to remain in the possession of the British. The partial way we have heretofore carried on against the Indians (if continued) will exhaust millions of money, and cut off thousands of lives to no effect; and unless we insist on the removal of garrisons which belong to a foreign power from our territory, we may expect no peace; and we shall certainly be under the necessity of using coercive measures ultimately, if they are not now surrendered.
We sincerely hope our government will no longer suffer with impunity, a nation that pretends to be at peace with us, to occupy our forts; thro' the means of which they not only distress our trade, but make the merciless savages instrumental in butchering our defenceless inhabitants.

FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
How are the people of the United States indebted to the member from Massachusetts for his panegyric upon them; for if the people that he represents possess the same sentiments with himself, every man contrasted with them must feel himself highly flattered by the comparison. If to consider a representative as omnipotent and immaculate constitutes an excellence in their creed, the people to the southward will not vie with them in this excellence. If to consider the government as one thing, and the people as an inferior and another thing is one of the praiseworthy attributes in their character, it is to be hoped the citizens of the other states will not attempt to rival them in such virtue. If to consider a public debt as a public blessing, and that every consideration of liberty, honor, and public good should yield to it, be among the eminent qualities which distinguish them, certainly the citizens of other states would not offer such incense at the shrine of Mammon as to attempt to eclipse them.
If to consider British systems as objects of imitation, and British measures as objects of praise are characteristics of republicanism, none but a Massachusetts, in America will seek such a price for fame. But for the honor of Massachusetts, nay for the honor of the United States it cannot be presumed that such representatives speak their sentiments; indeed their own declaration, nay their own conduct evidences the contrary; for no man who affects to treat the opinions of his constituents with contempt, can possibly speak their sentiments, or consult their feelings or their interests.
This solemn representative, who supposes that he has monopolized all the wisdom and all the virtue of America to himself, and some of his colleagues, will remember that a fool will sometimes detect a wise man, and that the Jolly of the Americans will discover in him an arrogance, and affectation of wisdom, which characterise impotence rather than genuine ability.
From a Correspondent.
The impudence of certain correspondents in Mr. Bache's paper, is not as surprising as the ignorance they discover. That they should have ingenuity enough to draw false conclusions, and render them at least puzzling is not surprising—but that they should venture the disgrace that attends a gross misrepresentation of what is said in Congress, displays a hardihood of pen rarely met with. The member from Massachusetts did not hold up Massachusetts as the model—nor the republicanism of that state as the model of republicanism. He drew a beautiful picture of Connecticut, which every observer who knows that state perceived the justice of—He neither held himself or his colleagues up as standards of any sort of excellence—but while the delicacy of the member withheld any such remarks, others who spurn at the feelings of every art at liberty to say that those who misrepresent that member, will never by their own talents excite the admiration which has uniformly followed the speeches of the member from Massachusetts.

COMMUNE OF PARIS.
19 Ventose, March 9.
The Commandant-General stated, that he had this day invested the Palace of Equality (Palais Royal) with 1200 men, and apprehended 130 muscudins. On his arrival the shop-keepers wanted to shut up their shops, which he forbade. On his

Departure, he asked them if they had left nothing? They answered—Nothing; and all was now quiet.
Chaumette said, there was plenty of game, poultry, and bacon in the Palace of Equality, which the council ordered to be carried to the public markets.
GENERAL ORDERS.
THE armed force shall watch carefully all those who excite to pillage the egg and butter carts as they come to market. It is hoped that national justice will punish those who stir up anarchy and the dissolution of society. For a month past, strange faces have appeared in Paris. It is the duty of good citizens to keep a vigilant eye on this new breed. I invite my brothers in arms to live in union and fraternity, to serve the public weal, and to defend our common country against those who wish to be masters of it, in order to deliver it to new oppressors.
HENRIOT, Commandant-General.
LONDON, March 19.
According to the report of Barrere to the Convention on the 6th, and of Amar on the 9th instant, some uneasiness had pervaded the minds of the people, with respect to provisions, which did not arrive in sufficient plenty.—This scarcity having been attributed to the manœuvres of disaffected persons, resident in the palace, formerly called the Palais Royal. Henriot, accompanied by the armed force of the different sections, went thither in the afternoon of the 10th, and blocked up all the avenues, and made a general search. The number of disaffected persons found there, is said to be above one hundred. The search not being concluded in the evening, the citizens of course remained under arms, and the avenues of the Palais were still blocked. If such an event deserve the name of an insurrection, such insurrections have often taken place without producing any important effects. The Palais Royal has always been supposed to be the resort of disaffected persons, and it is generally searched once every two months.
The people of Paris appear to be by no means disposed to an insurrection. Hebert, popular as he is, has been foiled in his endeavors to produce one against Camille Desmoulins, Fabre d'Eglantine, and other deputies: and when an address was published by the administrators of the police, on the 6th instant, requiring the people to rally round the Convention, the popular societies of each section unanimously resolved to obey the requisition.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, 16 Ventose, March 6.
Barrere rendered an account of the infamous manœuvres of conspirators. In Paris, says he, manuscript papers are circulated in the markets, and they have the audacity to recommend the choice of a chief. At Havre we have discovered the means employed by the merchants and bankers to debase the National Representation, and depreciate assignats. We know the sources of the fictitious scarcity which is felt. The guilty are arrested, and are now on their way to the Revolutionary Tribunal. At Lille, Maubeuge, and Landrecies, the culprits in correspondence with the ci-devant nobles, with Pitt and with Cobourg, have likewise been taken up. In vain does Pitt try to famish us—let us watch over our generals, and purify the staff. The people will have a Republic and Democracy; let them triumph, and by one general movement crush their enemies.—Barrere observed, that the report on Chabot and others now in prison, should be made without loss of time; and he proposed the following decree:
The National Convention, after having heard the report of its committee of public safety, decrees:
The public accuser of the revolutionary tribunal is charged with taking immediate measures against those who are circulating manuscript pamphlets about the markets and streets, which are destructive of the liberties and peace of good citizens, and the national representation.
The authors of these conspiracies, as well as those who breathe distrust among the people who bring provisions to Paris, shall be instantly prosecuted.
A report shall be made in three days, of the measures adopted.
The committee of public safety shall immediately make a report on the means of strengthening the hands of government, and preserving the people from the intrigues of conspirators.
PROCLAMATION.
Of Perreau, General in Chief of the Army of the West; dated Nantes, 28 Pluviose.
"Citizens, the time of deceiving is past. I promised you the naked truth; and it is as follows:
"The march of the columns ordered to traverse the Vendee country has been the means of destroying 6000 rebels who were scattered about; the re-taking of a very important post in the interior of the country, and the capture of an immense quantity of baggage. The banditti, who had the audacity to enter Chollet, by striking terror into the garrison, have bit the dust. They have been slain by a division detached from the army of the north, commanded by general Cordelier, whom I sent in pursuit of them.
"Another division, under General Duquesnoy, has put to flight the main body of Charette's army, in the thicket, and killed 8 or 900 of them. On the 26th Pluviose, General Cordelier put 15 or 1600 banditti to the bayonet near Beauprean, which has very much weakened La Roche Jaquelin's army. Three hundred of the rebels have just been shot in the forest of Pince; and many other advantages have been gained by General Haxo.
"The trifling ill successes we have experienced and which have been so much exaggerated, do not deserve notice. There are still some numerous parties in the Vendee, who are so much more dangerous, as they alone occupy the right banks of the Loire. My predecessors has allowed them too long a time to repose. We must yet make very strong efforts to terminate this war; but if the soldiers will only fight courageously, and the principal officers second my orders; if all the constituted authorities will join me, and if the Patriots are not misled. I swear that all shall be well."
March 7.
In consequence of some seditious movements which have lately appeared in this capital, the administration of Police have issued the following
PROCLAMATION:
"Citizens! Some new plots are at work. The enemies of Liberty are everywhere uniting. Wicked men do not content themselves alone to monopolize and create a fictitious scarcity, but they attempt to take advantage of their crimes, by exciting the people to insurrection.—Anonymous letters are in general circulation, in which it is recommended to disarm the citizens to dissolve the Convention and the Constituted Authorities, and to demand a Chief. Judge what must be the tendency of such writings and expressions?
"Citizens! It is time for you to rally, with more strength than ever, around the Convention—give confidence to your Magistrates; let every man watch, and soon will your enemies be forced to hide themselves in their lurking places!"
(Signed)
The Administration of Police.
Several Sections have, by proclamation, invited all the Citizens to carry to their respective committees the different copper utensils that they do not use, in order that cannon may be made of them.
No person who held a pension under the ancient government is to have a certificate of civism hereafter, unless he can prove that he has done some good act in favor of the Revolution.
The same scarcity of meat still continues. A capon has been sold for 47 livres, at the palace of Egalite, and a calf's pluck for 20 livres.
From Toulon we learn that the Le Heureux and Bonnet Rouge are at sea. The Sans Culotte, the Generaux and Langue-doc, three more ships of the line, are fitting out; and a great number of other ships of war are upon repair there. A great number of transports are also fitting out there; but it is not known whether they are destined for Corsica or Genoa.
At Brest, the fleet had a signal to be ready to sail on the 23d ult. and a convoy of upwards of 100 vessels arrived there, without any accident, from Bourdeaux.
BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS,
March 17.
L A F A Y E T T E.
GENERAL Fitzpatrick said that the motion which he had to propose to the House for their consideration might possibly call for an apology, did not the extraordinary circumstances of the times call for extraordinary proceedings; but he trusted, that if he could convince the House, that the measure which he should propose for their adoption, was not merely a measure of humanity, but also of wisdom and policy, they would have no hesitation in concurring with him. What had called him forward particularly with the present motion was,
a long friendship with one of the unfortunate objects of it, Monsieur La Fayette, a friendship which he has never yet had any reason to repent having formed. This unfortunate gentleman, with three others, were kept in close confinement by the king of Prussia, and to endeavour to procure their release, was the object of the present motion. There was one fact with which the generality of the gentlemen in that House were not acquainted, which was that when the king of Prussia had been applied to for the release of these gentlemen, he had answered, that they were not his prisoners alone, but the prisoners of the Confederated Powers, without whose consent he could not release them. Upon this head we had the declaration of a right hon. gentleman, (Mr. Pitt) as a member of the Privy council, but this was not quite sufficient; he wished for something more for the public satisfaction. In order to shew the good policy of endeavoring to procure the liberation of Monsieur La Fayette he must trespass on the patience of the House, while he related the tenor of that gentleman's conduct from the commencement of the French Revolution to the day of his confinement, in which it would clearly appear, that he had never departed from the straight line of honour and virtue. To the particular observation of his conduct he had been led by that friendship which had so long subsisted between them, and which had induced him to watch it with an anxious eye. Any person who had considered the affairs of France, must see there were four classes of men in that country; the first grand division was into Royalists and Republicans, the Royalists were again sub-divided into those who were advocates for the ancient despotism, and those who were the advocates of a limited monarchy; the Republicans again were divided into those who wished for a popular form of government by a representative assembly, and those who professing democratic principles, had established the present tyranny which exists in that country. No man would hesitate to declare which of these governments should be preferred, that no member of that house would hesitate to declare his abhorrence of a despotism of whatever kind, whether of an individual or body of men; and to give praise to a limited monarchy, under which we had enjoyed so many and continued blessings; from the conduct of La Fayette it was best to be seen which of these parties he espoused. Monsieur La Fayette, he confessed, had been greatly instrumental in bringing about the revolution of France, and he believed that there were very few in this country, who did not approve of it in the first stage; beyond a doubt they had in view the government and constitution of this country, when they formed their plan, but from a vain hope of excelling that which had stood the test of time, and procured general happiness to those who lived under it, they went too far, and laid in the foundation of their constitution the seeds of its dissolution. He stated that the massacres of the 5th and 6th October had been objected against La Fayette as a crime; what had been his conduct? he was at that time commander of the National Guards; he did every thing in the power of man, to prevent the horrid scene which took place; he had been up sixty hours, fifteen of which he had been on horseback, nature, worn out with fatigue, required some repose; he ventured to lie down for an hour, in the interim the tumult recommenced, and the mischief was done. It has been alleged by his enemies, that he retired to give an opportunity for the commission of their violence, but this he denied could be the case. What had been his conduct when the Jacobin Club had attempted to get an ascendancy over the National Assembly, and had actually proceeded to violence at the Champ de Mars? he repressed the rioters at the head of the Guards. After this when he found that the Jacobin party was getting fall into power, and that many of the Guards were favorable to that faction, he resigned his command; but he afterwards resumed it, at the express solicitation of all the well disposed people of Paris, and of the Royal Family themselves.
It had been objected against him also, that he sent an officer after the King and Queen, when they attempted to make their escape. This he was by his situation in a manner compelled to do; but his subsequent conduct showed how much he was the friend of Lewis, for when after his capture, it was proposed to try him and bring him to execution, he boldly declared in the assembly, that if they took such a step, that at the head of the National Guard he would the next day proclaim Louis the XVII. this bold and firm declaration, for that time put a stop to their proceedings. The Jacobin party had done every thing in their power to render this man friendly to their designs, but in vain. The last public act of which he took notice, was his conduct previous to the 10th of August. The King, when he found his power almost reduced to nothing, and that all was in the most dangerous and critical situation, dispatched on the 5th of August, a messenger to La Fayette, who was then at the head of the army, as to the only friend upon whom he could rely, and as his last resource. The messenger did not reach the camp till the 8th, which was too late, for on the 10th the kingly power was completely annihilated. Commissioners from the Convention came to La Fayette, offering him any terms, and every honor which might flatter his ambition, if he would join their party, but he refused. But what was his conduct? he resolved to stay no longer at the head of the army, nor would he lead them against his country! but nevertheless he thought it his duty to place it in a state of security,
which he effectually did; inasmuch that general Clairfayt, thinking the moment of retreat would be a good time to attack the enemy, found them so advantageously posted, that he thought it best to desist. If he had delivered up the commissioners to the enemies of his country, or surrendered his army, his virtues might have been the subject of a manifesto, or if he had carried off the money chest of the army he might have found an asylum; but having discharged the duty of a good citizen and friend to his country, his reward has been a dungeon. He next adverted to the place where he was made prisoner, in a neutral country, the Bishoprick of Liege: under what circumstances? Why under a promise from the Austrian garrison, to whom he credulously trusted, of protection and support, he was, however, with those officers to the amount of forty, who accompanied him made prisoners, from thence they were conducted to a post where the Prussians were then in power, who claimed La Fayette and his companions as the prisoners of the king their master. These gentlemen were not taken as prisoners of war, but prisoners of state, for all were dismissed except La Fayette, and three others who had been members of the constituent Assembly, and were now actually confined under the denomination of state prisoners. He lamented the cruelty with which those unfortunate men were treated, confined in subterraneous dungeons, denied the pleasure of mutual intercourse; and till lately, when they have been, as an extraordinary favour, permitted under the severest restrictions, to breathe the fresh air for about an hour each day; refused to see the light of heaven; and the only crime these gentlemen had committed, was being the friends of that constitution, we say we wish to restore.—He observed, that we were bound to use our power to liberate those men by the declaration of his Majesty to the people of France, in which he promises protection to the friends of the constitution of 1789; and those men had shewed themselves its most strenuous supporters; for they had ventured their fortunes, their lives, and have lost their liberty for the cause. He contended that the people of France could not possibly have any reliance upon the promises of this country, when they see the very great advocates of the constitution incarcerated and treated in the most cruel manner by our allies, without any interference whatever on our part. He said, that our violence had drawn from the cause of royalty, many of its best friends and most able supporters, and drove them to defend the cause of Republicanism. He was certain the best mode for this country to shew the excellence of its constitution and the attachment of Englishmen to the cause of true freedom, wherever it might exist, would be to interpose in behalf of those unfortunate men, and convince mankind in general, of the great blessing of an humane and benevolent prince.
The best way to convince the atheists of France of the superiority of Religion, would be by shewing them the practical exercise of one of its chiefest virtues—Charity to the oppressed. There was one thing upon which he had not yet touched, which was the conduct of General La Fayette during the war with America, but this he did not think could operate against him in the mind of any liberal man; there might be found for him, a good apology, he was at the time of entering a volunteer in the American army, but nineteen, the subject of a kingdom where military fame was so much prized, his conduct winked at, if not approved and encouraged by his master; he was certain that if any proposition could have been made for preserving the life of that unfortunate King, no man would have the cruelty to have objected to him, his conduct during the American war. He then recapitulated the several arguments he had used, and concluded by moving— "That an humble address be presented to his Majesty, representing that the detention of Mr. La Fayette, &c. was an act of great cruelty and injustice; that their liberation would tend much to the advancement of the common cause; and that his Majesty would be pleased to take such wise steps as he in his Royal Wisdom might deem fit, to procure their enlargement."
Colonel Tarleton seconded the motion. In doing so, he professed to decline entering into the general circumstances of French affairs; of the crisis which led to the various scenes which took place in

that unfortunate country, or of the effects which followed them. He should forbear to enter into a minute investigation of that infamous combination of tyrants, the treaty of Piltz, which, at a time when France was about to establish and enjoy something like a temperate and rational freedom, in exchange for their former tyranny, roused by its unjustifiable aggressions, the free spirit of enthusiasm, into the rage of madness, and gave rise to all those scenes of horror which have since desolated the half of Europe. At this period, General Fayette found himself at the head of the arms of France, by the unanimous voice of his country, for the purpose of repelling those invaders. To prove the General's sentiments at this period, he read an extract of a letter written by him from the entrenched camp of Maubeuge, upon the occasion of debates upon the degree of power to be entrusted to the king. In this letter he stated that he was for preserving the Monarchy, strictly hereditary as heretofore; that the King should be at liberty to choose his Ministers, and not have the creatures of a faction forced upon him against his will. These he stated to be his sentiments, which he found it necessary at that time to declare, lest the uncertain events of the war should hereafter put it out of his power so to do. This letter excited against him in Paris the resentment of the Jacobins, who now first began to rear their head, and produced an accusation of Fayette before the Assembly. Upon this occasion, what did that General do? Instead of marching to Paris at the head of the army, which attached to him as they were at that period, he might have easily done, and made every thing subservient to his will; he set off and presented himself almost unattended before the Convention. He there so well defended himself against his accusers, as to call forth their unanimous acquittal and approbation, and thus for while truth obtained a triumph over villainy and treachery. But this was of short duration. Upon his return to the army, he quickly found his enemies had not been idle, but taking advantage of his absence, had corrupted the troops, and poisoned their minds against the man whom so lately they adored. In order to regain their good opinion, he published an address, in which he still more explicitly explained his sentiments, calling upon them, in his own emphatic terms, "To choose between their King and Nation." This also failing, he resolved upon the only step left an honest man to choose. Instead of abandoning his principles, and taking advantage of the situation he held, he resolved to sacrifice every thing to the preservation of them and to fly his country, which he could no longer serve, as those principles dictated. This resolution, after communicating to a few friends, he accordingly put in execution, accompanied by them. He passed all the French out posts, and was on his way for Holland, whence he purposed taking refuge in America, that last asylum for liberty, when he was intercepted by an Austrian patrol. He was at first treated with some share of lenity, but afterwards was treated with all the ignominy and cruelty described by his Hon. Friend. Upon this detail he conceived the injustice and cruelty with which he was treated must be apparent to all; and he hoped, that at a time when we were treating with Prussia, possibly for the purpose of parting with our treasure, that we would interiere, and endeavour to rescue him from those horrors with which he is unmeritedly loaded. He could, from his personal knowledge of the unfortunate General during his residence at Paris, say much of his virtues, his integrity, his attachment to the cause of true and temperate liberty, and his admiration of this country; but he too well knew the generous sympathy of British Bosoms towards unmerited sufferings, to urge the feelings upon this occasion; he therefore contented himself with seconding the motion of his Hon. Friend upon the grounds he had already stated.

PHILADELPHIA, MAY 8.
In consequence of the proposition adopted by the House of Representatives in Congress for imposing an excise on Snuff, Manufactured Tobacco, and Refined Sugar; a notification is published, calling on the various descriptions of manufacturers in Philadelphia to assemble THIS AFTERNOON at 5 o'clock at the State House, to devise and pursue such lawful measures, as the nature of the case shall require.
The account of two persons having been
tarred and feathered in Norfolk, as lately published, the General Advertiser of this morning lays, is without foundation.

NEW-YORK, May 7.
On Monday afternoon, while the citizens of New-York, were employed in removing an 18 pounder from the dock on Governor's Island, to the battery on the opposite side, a young man, a Tanner by trade, who was at the drag-rope, stumbled and fell, and before he could recover himself, one of the wheels of the carriage on which the cannon was slung ran over him, which, passing across one of his thighs, broke it instantly. He was immediately taken into a house near by, attended by two French doctors who happened to be then present, and had his wound dressed; after which he was brought to this city, and other physicians appointed to take charge of him: There are some hopes that he will survive, notwithstanding his wound is very bad. The Patriotic will doubtless contribute to his relief.
A sloop of Mr. Jackson's arrived here yesterday from Guadalupe in 23 days, informs that St. Pierres was taken by the British forces, after immense slaughter on both sides; they then proceeded, for Basse-terre, which we fear, must inevitably share the same fate. The mate of the above sloop came off in such haste, as to leave the captain behind.
By the brig from St. Eustatia, we hear that it was currently reported there, and believed, that St. Lucie had likewise been captured; and that the British had put the garrison to the sword: Several captains and mates of vessels, which had been prisoners in Martinico during the whole siege, came passengers in the above brig.
At a late civic feast in Philadelphia, among other democratic toasts, was the following: "May every free nation consider a public debt as a public curse, and may the man who would assert the contrary opinion, be considered as an enemy to his country."
This is speaking very plain! If the debt is a curse, it follows that it ought to be expended! The debt is the price of our Independence; is our Independence, a curse? Answer this question, ye Jacobins: Then answer another. If a public debt is a public curse, why do you openly and violently urge for a war, that must inevitably augment, probably double that debt? Answer this question or blush for your contradictions.
BALTIMORE, May 5.
On Sunday afternoon arrived in this port from London, the ship Republican, Capt. Gardner, in whom came passengers, Mr. & Mrs. Chalk, Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Beverly, Messrs. Robert Field, Wm. Edwards, John Hahn and Son, Richard Hayman, Joseph Carnall, and James Wilks.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
PARIS, March 9.
On the 7th inst. the Council General of the Commons issued the following
ORDER.
The Council General of the Commons, considering the necessity there is for providing with meat women who are with child, in labour, the nurses, and the sick, of both sexes, decrees
 1st. There shall be distributed daily to all the sections of Paris, proportionate to their population, beef, veal and mutton.  2d. There shall be killed an ox, two calves, and a sheep, in addition, for the sick in the houses of arrest.  3d. The meat shall be delivered under the superintendence of civil committees, who shall deliver it only after having the same properly attested by the officers of health.  4th. The administration of subsistence is charged to oversee the mode of killing, the distribution, and the sale of meat. 
In the same sitting, a citizen complained, that commissioners had paid him a visit, and intimidated him with punishment because he had not sown his garden with potatoes instead of peas and lettuces.
Chaumette said, that he was sorry to hear the orders of the council had been so much perverted—which were only intended to allow the civil magistrates to make revolutionary visits, but not to destroy.
The Jacobin and Cordelier Clubs, are now in the most strict alliance. On the 7th, Collet d'Herbois was deputed from the Jacobins to the latter club, and was received with acclamation. He said, that in future Jacobins and Cordeliers should fight under the same banners—united in
heart and in principle. He observed on the general cry about Paris of an insurrection, and said—
"But under what circumstances do they talk of an insurrection! At a moment, when Pitt and Cobourg, hovering like birds of prey to devour France, are throwing apples of discord among good citizens, whom they are arming one against another; at a moment, when reports are spread abroad, that the Jacobins and Cordeliers are about to fight a deadly combat with each other; at a moment, when Pitt, with the trumpet of a Daniel, is prophesying an insurrection in France; at a moment, when Kings, foaming on their thrones, are indignant at not having overturned the colossus which threatens them! Ah! brethren and friends, instead of talking of insurrection, let your wants be made known to the fathers of the people, and they shall be relieved!"
Hebert mounted the tribune, and loudly exclaimed against the enemies of Liberty; who strive to spread abroad that there exists a difference between the Cordeliers and the Jacobins. He denounced to the patriots the paper of public safety, which mutilates and totally changes the sense of what passes at the Cordeliers, with counter-revolutionary intentions.
The President, in token of union, gave the fraternal kiss to the Jacobins deputed to the Cordeliers; and the society resolved that it would on the morrow send a deputation to the Jacobins.
The General of Division du Drut, Commandant at Douay, has written to the Committee of Public Safety, as follows:
"To combat our enemies, we must have arms—and to pursue, we must have shoes:—We want both."
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of March 8.
The Representatives of the People, Bernard wrote from Dijon,—
"That being informed, that the Aristocrats of Dijon continued to dignify each other with the titles of Baron, Count, and Marquis, he charged a judge to make information, from which it results, that not only these prescribed qualifications were revived, but also that some of these enemies of the Revolution uttered the most atrocious calumnies against the National Convention, and Constituted Authorities. I have ordered, says he, seventeen of the most culpable to be delivered up to the Revolutionary Tribunal. I promise to send the same way all who may deserve it."
Referred to the Committee of general Safety.
The female Citizen Dominique Soulier, announced, that she possessed a secret to make salt petre, of plants which abound in the fields, and are not eaten by the cattle.—Referred to the Committee of General safety.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
MR. FENNO,
In some places it seems to be thought a duty to make news to help the French kill their enemies. Norfolk has greatly distinguished itself in the way of nice work, and the Brussels Gazette has displayed it to great advantage, but the reader who may be termed in the Congress phrase, the 'consumer of the goods,' has a hard time of it if he is obliged to believe as well as read it. Yet several paragraphists seem to be very angry because the detected attempts to deceive the public have met with some grave rebuke and more ridicule. The want of faith in the wonderful news that is so important and weighty or so brittle and precious that it could not be trusted to the express, is called want of good disposition towards our good ally; the slowness of our belief is a stratagem to alienate our affections from France. The believers who chide us in the Brussels Gazette, think we can gulp down a whale as easily as they can. Now fir, I do really wish France the blessings of liberty. My heart does not reproach me with the secret sin of enmity to liberty in that country or in this, or indeed in any other. To be sure I would not own it, if I harbored such enmity, but I would try to repent and grow better. But what am I to do to enlarge my swallow of faith? the stories in the Brussels Gazette stick in my throat, and would absolutely choke me, if I were to persist in forcing them down. I am advised by one of the club that upholds that Gazette to follow their example and I shall overcome all my difficulties, for that persons who can tell great stories can believe them. By exercising my invention, I shall strengthen my faith. Full of this notion, I had resolved to prepare a batch of pretty stories for publication in the Brussels Gazette; and after having cudgelled my brains for some time, I offered the fruits of my study to the editor; to my great surprize however, he rejected them, saying that he had on hand more marvellous events, alarming hints and
conjectures, paragraphs of the contents erect dispatches &c. than he could market in a year. In a word he was so overlooked with fable, that he should be obliged to burn one half of what he had on hand, as the Dutch are said to burn their spices to prevent a fall of price by the glut. He had he said already suffered by going too far, for the public would not believe the whole of any intelligence at present, unless it was more than a quarter part true. Formerly a dash of truth would do—just enough to wear by. Witness the late National Gazette deceased, of glorious memory.
If one will not, another will said I, Now Mr. Fenno, I offer you my services. Your paper seems to be very bare and lean in the department of wonders, I will furnish you on reasonable terms with home made foreign news; or I will take the foreign made, as the raw material, and work it up my own way. I will play the devil with our trade, worse than all the privateers. I warrant you, I will help the trade in tar and feathers. The officers of our government shall be blacker than the Tar; I will not spare one of them, not one sir, that is sworth hunting. I would not shoot a blue jay while the Eagle is to be come at, so let the President take care of himself. I will make toasts before or after a feast, for publication: I will draw up plans of demoniac clubs, resolutions and addresses for such clubs. Let me have only one column in your gazette, and I will raise more suspicions against the Congress men, than all the other columns shall be able to counteract. I will use no colour but lampblack, and paint nothing but devils: my pen shall be against the government, and your 25,000 select corps for it, and I engage to beat them. Take me into your pay Mr. Fenno, and we will be the combined powers against American liberty. But if liberty will be reasonable, I mean generous, and pay better than you will, I will engage to support her cause: for as I said before, I harbour no enmity against her. If you incline to treat with me, I am willing to send you some specimens of my ingenuity; I will shew for instance, that a monarchy is to be kept up in America with a paper nobility and a negro commonalty. I will prove that the Constitution will not allow you to adopt any good measures. I will shew how debts public and private may be paid without paying. Do but name your subject and I will shew you what the witch of Endor could not. How a good conscience shall torment a man by exposing him to persecution: and when I conjure up spirits pall'd in the dunnett smoke of a kitchen without a chimney, to preside at clubs, they shall seem angels of light.

Charlotte, a tale of Truth,
IN TWO VOLUMES.
By Mrs. ROWSON, of the New Theatre, Philadelphia, Author of Victoria , the Inquisitor , the Fille de Chambre , &c.
Of Charlotte , the Reviewers have given the following character.
IT may be a Tale of Truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress.— Charlotte , by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America.—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should see for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one or scarcely, perhaps, deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are a good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S.
Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States.
ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark.
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper.
The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill.
The i and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the i.
The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year.
Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America.
ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark.
They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeited Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills.
The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the a being less than the m, and others following.
There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined.
The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them.
The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature.
It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them.
The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz.
The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed.
The person or persons, who engraved the plates.
The printer or printers, of the bills.
Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.
Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills
of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation.
The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B.
They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS:
The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them.
The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done, and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills.
The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the false strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view.
The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills.
