Complaints having been made that the Southern subscribers for this Gazette do not receive it, till the intelligence has been anticipated by papers previously received by other persons; they are informed that the regulations at the Post Office in this city require that Printers should deposit their papers there, the day preceding the departure of the mail; new papers being, on account of their bulk, sent by the stages, which set off several hours before the mail is closed, occasions this arrangement, for the winter.
Persons at a distance who wish to receive this Gazette, are informed that the terms of subscription cannot be dispensed with.—One half of the subscription money, for the half-weekly paper lately printed and circulated by the Editor to all parts of the Union, is yet due, either from the subscribers, or collectors—and as the publication of a daily paper is attended with a heavy expense—however solicitous the Printer may be to disseminate intelligence, it will appear, that persisting in his former plan of sending his Gazette to every person who writes for it, without securing the subscriptions will prove ruinous in the extreme.
The Editor most earnestly requests those who are indebted for his late publication, to make immediate payment—particularly those who have received the arrearages from subscribers.—Some will recollect that repeated assurances on this point, have not been realized.

DECLARATION.
Of the Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, to the court of Naples, dated Sept. 28, 1793.
THE Court of Naples having caused to be notified to the Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta, that not wishing to have any thing further to do with those who at present govern France, it sent away all the agents of that country, who had hitherto resided at Naples, or at the ports of his Sicilian Majesty, his Eminent Highness took the earliest opportunity of following that example, and of ordering the ports of Malta to be shut against all kinds of French ships of war or privateers as long as the present war shall continue.
The Grand Master wishes to make known at the same time, that since the notification which the late king made to him of the acceptance of the constitution of 1791, the government of Malta has had no relation with France. The dreadful troubles which have broke out in that kingdom, and which have deprived it of a Sovereign universally regretted, and the violation of the rights of nations, which have been permitted there under every point of view, in regard to the Sovereign Order of Malta, have induced many persons, not acquainted with the fundamental laws of this order, to think that reprisals ought to have been made; but these laws even prescribe neutrality in all those quarrels which arise between the different Christian nations. The Grand Master, however, fully determined not to acknowledge the pretended French R., in the person of an agent which it might send to Malta, ordered, on the 15th of March last, the Chevalier de Seytres de Caumont, in his quality of member of the order and of its delegate, who had resided long in this island as charge d'Affaires of the King of France, to retain the title which he held from his Majesty Louis XVI. of glorious memory, and to keep the arms of the king over his gate, which he has hitherto done, under the protection of the government of Malta.
But the Grand Master learning through an indirect channel, that a person named Aymar has been appointed to succeed the Chevalier de Caumont, and that he is now on his way to Malta, formally declares at present that he will neither receive nor admit the said personage, nor any other who may be sent to reside at Malta, as agent in any respect, of the said pretended Republic, which his Eminent Highness ought not, cannot, and will not acknowledge.
A gentleman lately arrived from Paris, and who had been several times in company with T. Paine the Outlaw, declares that he is in daily expectation of terminating his career by the guillotine, to which he has made up his mind. His voting to send Louis XVI. to America, is the cause assigned, which renders him a suspicious character there.
When the verdict was pronounced upon Brissot and the Deputies, they requested leave to speak themselves, or to be heard by their defenders. As it was believed, that this request was made with a view of delaying the sentence, and as the accused had already been heard, the Tribunal refused to accede to it.
Sillery was the first who suffered by the fatal engine. Several addressed the people, particularly Brissot.
The execution of each of the Deputies was announced by a discharge of eight pieces of cannon placed on the road to Chaillon.
Brissot was the last of the Deputies who were executed.
The French are breaking up the graves
in all the churches, in order to make even the dead contribute to the expences of the war. The lead coffins are converted into bullets, and the copper ones sent to the mint.
When our letters came away from Frankfort, there was a report of a pitched battle having been fought, near Strasbourg, between the Austrians under General Wurmser and the French Army. This report adds, that the French were defeated with immense slaughter, and several thousands of them taken prisoners.
Strasbourg is said to have opened its gates to the Allies immediately after this defeat, we should be glad to hear those reports however probable they are, officially confirmed.
A detachment from Lord Hood's fleet at Toulon, has we understand, been sent to Tunis, to take possession of the ships of war and merchant vessels belonging to the French in that port.
NOVEMBER 14.
To the Sitting of the 29th, the Jacobins of Paris presented a petition to the Convention, requesting that Trials be terminated whenever the Jury should declare themselves satisfied with any part of the evidence brought forward. The Convention granted this request, which was also backed by the President of the Revolutionary Tribunal. The Jacobins solicited this Decree, from an apprehension lest Brissot and his Accomplices should enter into too long a defence, and, by the power of their eloquence, make an impression upon the Judges.
In the Sitting of the 31st, the Convention learned from their Commissioners, that 500 men were employed in razing the fortifications of Lyons.
In the same Sitting it was decreed, that the women should no longer be permitted to assemble in Clubs.
The Prince of Saxe Cobourg is one of the most extraordinary, as well as one of the greatest characters of the age. To great profundity of thought, he unites the utmost cheerfulness and hilarity of manners. Being middle-age, short, and inclined to corpulency, he has a jolly appearance, heightened by a habit of laughter, which he indulges incessantly. He is remarkably fond of drawing: but does not confine himself to plans of sieges of battle. On the morning of his first engagement with Dumourier, Clairfayt having paid this General a visit, is said to have found him diverting himself with sketching a caricature, of which Clairfayt himself was the subject. To have selected such a time for such an employment must have appeared strange; but the Prince had previously arranged the necessary dispositions for ensuring his success.
LAST MOMENTS of the LATE QUEEN of FRANCE.
When she heard her sentence read, she did not shew the smallest alteration in her countenance, and left the Hall without saying a single word to the judges or to the people. It was then half past four in the morning, Oct. 16. The Queen was conducted to the condemned hold in the prison of the Conciergerie.
At 5 o'clock the Generale was beat. — At 7, the whole armed force was on foot; cannon were planted on the squares, and at the extremities of the bridges, from the Palace to the Square de la Revolution — At ten o'clock numerous patrols passed thro' the streets.
At half past 11 in the morning, Marie Antoinette was brought out of the prison, dressed in a white dishabille. Like other malefactors, she was conducted upon a common cart to the place of execution.
Her beautiful hair from behind was entirely cut off, and her hands were tied behind her back. Besides her dishabille, she wore a very small white cap. Her back was turned to the horse's tail.
During her trial she wore a dress of a white and black mixture.
On her right, upon the cart, was seated the executioner; upon the left a constitutional priest belonging to the Metropolitan Church of Notre Dame, dressed in a grey coat, and wearing what is commonly called a bob wig. The cart was escorted by numerous detachments of horse and foot: Henriot, Roufflin, and Boulangier, generals of the Revolutionary army, proceeded by the rest of the staff officers, rode before the cart.
An immense mob, especially women, crowded the streets, insulting the Queen, and vociferating "Long live the Republic!" She seldom cast her eyes upon the populace, and beheld with a cold indifference
the great armed force of 30,000 men, which lined the streets in double ranks.
The sufferings which she sustained during her captivity had much altered her appearance, and the hair on her forehead appeared as white as snow.
The Queen, without anguish or bigotry, was speaking to the Priest seated by her side. Her spirits were neither elevated nor depressed; — she seemed quite insensible to the shouts of "Vive la Republique!" She even shewed a kind of satisfaction in looking for the moment which might rid her of her miserable existence.
When she passed through the street called Rue St. Honore, the sometimes attentively looked at the inscriptions of the words LIBERTY AND EQUALITY, affixed to the outside of the houses.
She ascended the scaffold with seeming haste and impatience, and then turned her eyes with great emotion towards the garden of the Thuilleries, the former abode of her greatness.
At half past twelve o'clock the guillotine severed her head from her body. She died in the 38th year of her age.
The executioner lifted and shewed the blood-streaming head from the four different corners of the scaffold, which is shewn only from one side in all other common executions. The mob instantly vociferated, "Long live the Republic!"
A young man who dipped his pocket-handkerchief in the Queen's blood, and pressed it with veneration to his breast, was instantly apprehended. Upon him were found the portraits of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette.
The corpse of the ill-fated Queen was immediately after buried in a grave filled with quick lime, in the church-yard called de la Madelaine, where Louis XVI. was buried in the same manner.
November 17.
We are sorry to hear that the Couragoux of 74 guns, one of the British vessels engaged in the action before St. Florent, in Corsica, then received so much injury that she sunk before she could reach a port to refit; the crew, with most of the ammunition, &c. was however previously removed. The Couragoux was an old vessel, having been taken from the French in the war before the last.
Letter written by Monsieur to M. le Maréchal de Broglie, dated Ham, Nov. 1, desiring him to send a copy of it to all towns, in which emigrants reside.
"Gentlemen, "I have this instant received the news of the horrid outrage which has terminated the days of the Queen, my sister-in-law. The grief and indignation which it excites in me, can be allayed only by the concern you take in it. True Frenchmen and faithful subjects, we ought in a twofold degree to feel the horror of this crime — It is by redoubling our zeal for the service of our young and unfortunate King, that we can one day render such losses less grievous, and efface the stain which monsters would imprint on the French name. Such I am well convinced, are the sentiments which animate you. Such are those which my brother and I will preserve till we breathe our last sigh, and such is the end to which all our efforts tend."
"Accept Gentlemen, the assurance of my sentiments towards you."
(Signed)

A very large French frigate of 42 guns is taken by a Spanish 50 gun ship off Cape Ortugal, and sent into Cadiz. Both ships suffered much in the action. The Frenchman is named Rouffillone or Rossignole.
FRANCE.
SITTINGS OF THE JACOBINS.
October 31.
Dubois Crance asserted, that a force of such magnitude as 60,000 men was not wanted to reduce Toulon. Twenty thousand men, with a large train of artillery, would be sufficient to produce this effect.
One hundred and thirty pieces of artillery were on their way from Lyons to the army before Toulon. "With 20,000 men, and this supply of cannon," exclaimed Dubois Crance, "I will answer for the reduction of Toulon."
November 1.
A letter from Perpignan was read. By this it appeared, that 30,000 men, eager to fight the Spaniards, were encamped under the walls of Perpignan; that the National Deputies, acted with great prudence, and combated in common with
the soldiers the enemies of the Republic; that the Spaniards were entrenched chinc-deep at Boulon, but that the Republican troops were nevertheless resolved to storm their entrenchments.
The Representatives of the People in the army of the Eastern Pyrenees, assured the Society that the troops would soon enter Spain. The position of the Republican army was in front of Bellegarde.
Fressinet, in a letter from the army of Italy, informed the Society, that the magazines received large and daily supplies of stores. He also acquainted the Society, that a fortie had been made from Toulon by 6000 men, who advanced to the village of Lagard. After a vigorous contest, the English, he said, were defeated, with the loss of the English General killed, and his nephew made prisoner.
PLYMOUTH, Nov. 13.
By letters received here, we have advice that Earl Howe's fleet are cruizing off the Lizard; some of the ships have received damage, which will cause their return to port very soon.
EDINBURGH, Nov. 7.
Yesterday was shipped on board the Osnaburgh cutter for Ostend, 5000 flannel vests and 2000 pair of foot socks for the use of the British army in Flanders; and from the prospect of the subscription still going on, a very considerable addition is expected. The vessel fails to-morrow.
LECHORN, October 20.
Hitherto we had seen only single ships belonging to the English squadron in the Mediterranean enter our harbour. Three English ships of the line, mounting 74 guns and 650 men each, two frigates of 32 guns and 220 men together with a French frigate of 38 guns and 300 men, commanded by M. Van Kempen, are at length arrived here.
These ships brought several copies of the Proclamation addressed on the 27th ult. to the people of France by Vice Admiral Don Juan De Langara, Commander of the naval forces of his Catholic Majesty at Toulon.

KINGSTON, (Jam.) Nov. 30.
Information is received by the Felicity, from St. Thomas's, that in consequence of intelligence from France, the ruling powers at Martinique and Guadaloupe having seized and condemned all vessels belonging to Denmark and Sweden, lying at those ports.
The Spanish ships of war at Porto Cavallo have 6000 troops on board.
The operation of the Spanish force intended to act against the French part of St. Domingo, is retarded by the fickleness of the troops, more than 1500 of whom are reported totally unfit for duty.
Last night arrived here the Penelope, Captain Rowley, from a cruise. In the Bite of Leogane Capt. Rowley, fell in with, and engaged L'Inconstant, a French frigate of thirty six guns, which, after a few broadsides, struck to the Penelope, and may be expected at Port Royal this day. The Penelope had one man killed, one midshipman and six men wounded. — L'Inconstant lost the second Captain, two Lieutenants, and twelve men killed, and had 12 men wounded. The wounded midshipman of the Penelope has lost his arm.

Extract of a letter from London, dated November 28, 1793.
I consider it a most fortunate circumstance, a particular favor of Providence, that you have a WASHINGTON to preside in the councils of America; for, in the novelty of your political situation, the influence of his name is a stronger cement of union, than all the parchment checks and forms of government, which the wisdom of your ablest patriots could devise. Successful in the field, and firm in the cabinet, his character impresses a sanction of authority; nor can the most malignant of his very few enemies find any colorable pretext for debasing his sterling worth. It may not be inapposite to recal your attention to an incident still fresh on our memories. This great and good man was principally instrumental in delaying the execution of the sentence upon Algill, the unhappy object designated by lot to atone for the murder of Capt. Huddy, and by this means contributed to save a life forfeited by the hard laws of retaliation—and tho' every indulgence, and every delicacy, compatible with his situation was extended to him; yet this person not only violated the dictates of good breeding, by neglecting to acknowledge his obligation, but propagated or countenanced in this country, the propagation of reports as illiberal as they were untrue. Time has however undeceived all, and his character emerges from that opprobrium with tenfold lustre. I only mention this to shew that instances of ingratitude on this side the water, as well as among his countrymen are not wanting to pervert the public sentiment, and traduce a name too sacred and venerable for malice to endure. I am tempted to mention one instance of the happy consequences resulting as well to you as to us, from the elevation of Washington, to the Presidency of the Union, though with some the reputation of it may suffer an abatement by participation. The utility however of a council I readily acknowledge, and conceive it a provision wisely adapted to preclude intemperate resolves. The fact is this: Early last summer, while it yet remained uncertain what part the United States would assume in the European troubles, and previous to the arrival of official dispatches avowing your neutrality, an idea was adopted here, founded upon reports of your general attachment to French principles and politics, that you would embrace the cause of France, and declare against their enemies. In consequence of this, and some indirect communications, a cabinet council was summoned, and measures hostile to our peaceable intercourse resolved on. It is said that a message to this purport was sent to Mr. Pinckney, who waited on the minister, remonstrated against any precipitate determinations, and demanded a delay of a few days, or till the reception of expected dispatches should enable him to declare the ultimate decision of your government. This was agreed to. A vessel speedily arrived at one of the out-ports and brought the important proclamation, which Mr. P. officially communicated to the ministry, and was the happy means of rescuing both nations from an impending calamity. Had this declaration of the President not been made, or had it been delayed, our good understanding would probably long ere now have been interrupted; and instead of an intercourse, mutually advantageous, we should be involved in all the horrors of war."
Domestic Intelligence.
Our own hemisphere is very barren of intelligence. One important article however, must not be omitted.—The French Minister has written a letter to the President of the United States, in which he denies his authorizing the arming and levying of men within the United States; yet in the same breath frankly owns that he has given commissions to some republicans in South-Carolina, who intended to expatriate themselves; that is, abandon their country. This letter the President has laid before Congress.
This letter unfolds the plan of Mr. Genet:—It seems an expedition against the Spanish settlements was intended, and a force for this purpose has been raising in South-Carolina, under commissions from Mr. Genet. This plan was kept as secret as possible, but being detected, its progress is happily checked. A scheme of this kind would have been attended with one of these consequences.—Either Spain would have immediately declared war against the United States; or finding the scheme was not countenanced by govern-
ment, she would have demanded an indemnification for all the mischief and loss which these expatriated renegades might have done to her territory. This, she would have had a right to receive; so that the scheme, if it had not involved us in a war, would have cost us, perhaps millions of money.
It is with pleasure we learn, that foreign powers speak respectfully of the firmness with which the American government has maintained its neutrality, during the present war.
The following is translated from an Amsterdam paper, of the 4th of Nov.
"This day an express arrived at the Hague, with accounts that the Count of de la Tour, had attacked the French near Marchienne; killed 4000 and took 1200 prisoners, with the greatest part of their artillery and baggage."
The famous equestrian performer, Mr. Rickets, has lately commenced his feats in Charleston, South-Carolina.
PHILADELPHIA, JANUARY 27.
The Charge against the Members of the Convention, executed at Paris, concludes with the following comparative statement:
  Mr. Pitt  The Deputies    Wished to degrade and to dissolve the same.  Attempted to do    Convention.     He wished to assassinate the Members of the Convention.  The Deputies procured the assassination of Marat & Le Pelletier.    He wished to destroy Paris.  The deputies did all in their power to produce this effect.    He wished to arm all nations against France.  The deputies obtained a declaration of war against all nations.    In the intended partition of France, Mr. Pitt wished to procure a part for the duke of York, or some other branch of his master's family.  Carra and Brissot entered into a panegyric of the dukes of York and Brunswick, and even went so far as to propose them for kings.    He endeavored to destroy our colonies.  The deputies have produced the destruction of the colonies.  
Sonthonax and Polverel, the guilty commissioners who ravaged the colonies with fire and sword, are their accomplices. Proofs of their corruption exist in the correspondence of Raimond, their creature.
Of the numerous facts of, which the faction are accused, some relate only to particular individuals; the general conspiracy, however, is attached to all.
From this act of accusation it resulted, that,
I. There existed a conspiracy against the unity and indivisibility of the Republic, the liberty and safety of the French people.
II. That all the individuals denounced in the act of accusation are guilty of this conspiracy, as being either the authors of or the accomplices in it.
The jury of the revolutionary tribunal, to whom these facts were submitted, brought in their verdict at eleven o'clock at night, on the 30th October.
They were declared to be the authors and accomplices of a conspiracy which had existed against the unity and indivisibility of the Republic, and against the liberty and security of the French People.
The President of the Revolutionary Tribunal immediately pronounced the sentence, decreed by the Constitution:—That they should suffer the punishment of death—that their execution should take place on the subsequent day, on the Place de la Revolution—that their property should be confiscated, and that this sentence should be printed and posted up throughout the whole extent of the Republic.
At 11 o'clock, A.M. the execution took place.—The streets were lined with soldiers, and every precaution taken to prevent the disturbance of the public tranquility.

Philadelphia, Jan. 21st, 1794.
SIR, IN pursuance of an instruction from the President of the United States, I have examined the letters written by Mr. Jefferson to Mr. Hammond. The letter of the 5th of December, 1791, having been, by mistake, omitted in the collection of papers, sent to Congress, at the beginning of the session; I beg leave to inclose a copy of it, through you to the House of Representatives.
I have the honor, Sir, to be, With great respect, Your most obedient servant, EDM: RANDOLPH. The Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Philadelphia, Dec. 5, 1791. Mr. Jefferson, Secretary of State, to the Minister Plenipotentiary of Great-Britain.
SIR, YOUR favor, of November 30, remains still unanswered, because the clerks are employed in copying some documents, on the subject of the treaty of peace, which I wish to exhibit to you, with the answer.
In the mean time, as to that part of your letter, which respects matters of commerce, the fear of misunderstanding it induces me to mention my sense of it, and to ask if it be right, where you are pleased to say, that "you are authorized to communicate to this government, his majesty's readiness to enter into a negotiation, for establishing that intercourse (of commerce) upon principles of reciprocal benefits."—I understand that you are not furnished with any commission, or express powers, to arrange a treaty with us, or to make any specific propositions on the subject of commerce; but only to assure us that his Britannic majesty is ready to concur with us in appointing persons, times and places for commencing such a negotiation. Be so good as to inform me if there be any misapprehension in this, as some steps on our part may be necessary in consequence of it. I have the honor to be, &c.

Extract of a letter, dated Havre, 28th October.
We have now to advise that a decree having been rendered for taxing all the goods of first necessity; and most of the American products being reputed as such, several American merchants and captains that were here, went to Paris to solicit exemption for the goods belonging to Americans; they were told by the minister, that the intention of our Convention was not to injure property of foreigners with which we are at peace.
That Commissaries would be appointed to purchase the goods that are American property, and that even the goods that may hereafter arrive, will also be bought at a price that will leave a profit to the proprietors. So that Americans may always find an open market for the goods they will import into this country.

Bookseller, at the Stone House, in Second-street Philadelphia.
VOLUME X. OF
ENCYCLOPEDIA; or DICTIONARY OF Arts, Sciences, and Miscellaneous Literature, on a Plan entirely new;
BY WHICH The Different Sciences and Arts, are digested into the form of Distinct Treaties or Systems.
THIS volume contains principles of Levels, Liberty, Doctrine of Light, Lightning, Locks, Logarithms, Logic, History of London, Longitude, Luther, Lydia, Macedon, Madagascar, Magic, Magnetism, Malts, History of Man, Marriage, Mary, Maryland, Masonry, Materia Medica, Meadow, Mechanics, with a great variety of Biographical and Miscellaneous articles, illustrated with TWENTY TWO COPPERPLATES.
As a number of families are still in the country, and it is not generally known who are returned. T. Dobson, solicits the favor of the subscribers to call or send for their volumes, that they may be supplied as early as possible.
The TENTH VOLUME of the Encyclopedia is now presented to the public; but as it makes its appearance in an imperfect state, some account of the reason of that imperfection should be given. On the 8th of September last, the Publisher had the misfortune of having his Printing-Office burnt down by a fire which broke out in the neighbourhood, and a great quantity of his printing materials destroyed, and among other articles, the PRESSES, with which he was printing the TABLES OF LOGARITHMS, belonging to the present volume, were melted down by the violence of the fire. As a supply of these could not be immediately obtained, he was under the necessity of publishing the volume without the TABLES; but hopes he shall be able to publish them with the next volume which is now in considerable forwardness.
The Publisher embraces this opportunity of expressing his grateful acknowledgments to the generous public, for the very liberal patronage with which his undertaking has been honored; at the same time he takes the liberty of representing to such of the subscribers as are in arrears, the indispensable necessity of punctuality, both in taking up the volumes as early as possible after publication, and of paying for them when taken. Many of the subscribers having got only one, two, three, &c. volumes, and several volumes remain unpaid. Thus the work hangs in all its different stages from the commencement; and though the importance of a few dollars may be but a trifle to the individuals, yet the accumulation of these trifles unpaid lays the Publisher under very serious embarrassment, and deprives him of the use of many Thousands of Dollars which at this time would be of very essential service. For these reasons the Publisher finds himself under the necessity of recurring to the original terms of publication, and in future no volumes will be delivered but only to those who take and pay to the time of publication.
