FRENCH SUNDAYS, OR, NO SUNDAYS AT ALL. FRANCE. COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED, 25th Messidor (July 15th).
ON the order of the day for renewing the discussion on the project respecting the deca- dary festivals, in which one of the regulations is, that marriages should only be celebrated on the decadi: Gauthier (of Calvados).—Marriage, that prolific source of virtue and of pleasure, will surely meet no obstacle from the representa- tives of a nation. No, the legislative body would not choose to retard the accomplish- ment of the wishes of nature, whose voice is powerful in hearts which aspire to an union. "I suspect your committee oppose it in this place: and I cannot conceive why, improv- ing on the fantastical and ridiculous rules of the Roman pontiff, it should withdraw from the celebration of marriage nine days out of ten, whereas he was contented to exclude only six days out of seven. It will be easy for me to demonstrate the inconvenience of this measure. I will suppose a trader, a mariner or a soldier on the point of marriage, and who only waits for this blessed decadi, obliged to depart on the premixt proceeding when on a long voyage, in obedience to the law— shall such a portion be obliged to withdraw from a beloved sweetheart the name of spouse, to which he chiefly aspires?" (Murmurs.)
The orator demanded the celebration of marriage should be allowed every day, from the rising to the setting sun. Heault Lamerville.—"If you do not adopt the measure proposed, your decadary festivals will possess neither power, nor majesty, nor attraction, nor any thing else than the shadow of existence. The article on the celebration of marriage establishes the great- est of our institutions. Of the three great events of life, birth, marriage and death, it is marriage which carries with it and deserves the greatest degree of solemnity; and it is th act which operates most strongly on the senses and the imaginations of men. We hear of the inconveniences which would attend marriages being confined to the decadi; but before the revolution were marriages cele- brated every day? And if you attend to individual inconveniences, you oppose ob- stacles to every general measure." The Council then proceeded to the dis- cussion of the first article— "That the decadis and days of National Festivals shall be days of repose throughout the Republic."
Grand Molson.—"It seems to me, that something more efficacious should be adopt- ed. What! while the High Priest of Rome so long attacked by philosophy, and at length dethroned by our brave defenders, is obliged to carry about from place to place his vagabond piety, shall his Ministers dare still to exercise, in the midst of us, an insolent despotism? They say that the requisition of the young men is not contrary to the principles of their religion, which they re- present as abhorring bloodshed, and main- tain that Sundays should be consecrated to God, in idleness and sloth."
"Thus, the inhabitants of the country are obliged to observe the festivals thirty-six decadis, and, forced by the Priests to keep holy the Sundays, are re-tained from work for more than a third part of the year. Vigorous measures must be taken. It must be decreed that all festivals and religious cer- emonies should be performed on the decadis. For too long a time has the sceptre of the crosss puffed upon the French people. It is time to relieve them from the chains of fan- aticism, as they are already freed from the fetters of royalty. Refer all ceremonies to the decadi, and the people, impatient of the yoke of the priests, will celebrate them on that day. Let the priests who refuse to comply be punished, and their magazines of vexes shut up. Let them be confined to their fanes, and if they choose to say their prayers their own way, we shall not go to disturb them." The article was ordered to be printed.
On the articles for obliging all shops to be shut upon decadi— Genissieu.—Every republican beholds with indignation the scandalous practice of selling goods publicly on decadi in the streets of Pa- ris whereas on Sunday the shops are hermeti- cally closed. This formal contempt of the laws should be severely punished. The article was agreed to.
Briot.—After some strong invectives a- gainst the contempt shown for the new institu- tions, proposed that, under the several pe- nalities, no person be suffered to shut up their shops of a Sunday, or show any respect for it, though they might if they pleased remain idle in their houses. Referred to a commit- tee. Cruze-Latouche (on the same subject being resumed the next day) denied the right of the Legislature to lay to a freeman on such a day you shall, and on such another you shall not work. To employ this coercion would only irritate opinions, inflame the pas- sions, and create discontent; whereas if citizens were obliged to shut up their shops on the decadi, their own interest would soon prevail upon them to keep them open on Sunday. Men, according to his opinion, were entitled to abstain from work when they pleased. Several members spoke in favour of com- pelling the shops to be opened on a Sun- day.
Lucius Buonaparte (brother to the gene- ral).—"Cruze-Latouche has exposed to you those eternal principles, which never will be forgotten within these walls. The decadi is the only national festival—yes, you have a right to say so—it is the only national festi- val; and you have a right to ordain that it shall be observed by the cessation of any of- ficial labor. But have you a right on other days to set bounds to the repose or la- bor of the people? I repeat, have you a right to lay to a freeman, On such a day you shall and on such a day you shall not work?" (Murmurs.) Persecution but in- flames fanaticism. It renders it more fur- ious—it lends it fresh arms, and it redoubles its strength. Even in Rome, the centre of superstition, it was never ordained that the Jews should work on a Saturday, which with them is observed as a Sabbath; and shall we Frenchmen, we republicans, give such a blow to individual liberty? I move the or- der of the day."
Several members called to have the discus- sion closed. Lecointre Puyraveau was in favor of the restraint, considering the shutting up shops on Sunday as an act of disobedience, and an external sign of hatred to the revolution and the republic. The council adjourned without coming to any resolution on the subject.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) October 11. Two very smart shocks of an Earthquake were felt in this town yesterday morning, between five and six o'clock. Two companies of the 56th regt. arrived from St. Domingo, marched into the barracks of this town, yesterday morning, and one company of the 17th foot yesterday evening. A company of the 60th regt. goes imme- diately for Port Antonio, and another for Port Maria Bay.
October 15. Arrived at Port-Royal, the ship Thomas Wilson, Jones, master, of Philadelphia.— She was bound from Petit Goave, to the Mole, with sugar and coffee, and was sent in by his majesty's ship Serpent.
October 17. Yesterday morning his majesty's ship Stork capt. Hayes, sailed from Port Royal on a cruise.
A Spanish Brigantine, from Cuba bound to Port-Bello, with tobacco and rice, and the Schooner Pelly, from Porto-Rico, bound to St. Thomas, with tobacco and coffee, under Danish colours, but supposed to be Spanish property, both taken by his majesty's ship Sheerness, arrived yesterday.
ON THE HOUSE AND LAND TAX. From the Hampshire Gazette. MR. BUTLER,
I wish to republish the following calcu- lation, or table, originally printed at Portsmouth, (N. H.) with the additional observations. The federal tax on houses, &c. wants nothing but elucidation to make it perfectly agreeable to every candid and benevolent American.
"For the perusal of those who have not leisure to go into a calculation on the sub- ject, the following statement is made of the tax on houses. It will be remembered, that the valuation is to include in the building the lot on which the house stands, not ex- ceeding two acres, and out houses. If these are valued at 100 dollars, the tax is 20 cents. If
  D.  D.  C.  D.  D.    200  40  If  4000  20    300  60   5000  25    400  80   6000  30    500  1 00   7000  35    600  1 20   8000  40    700  1 40   9000  45    800  1 60   10000  50    900  1 80   15000  75    1000  2 00   25000  125    2000  4 00   50000  250    3000  6 00       This may easily be made more particular by comparing it with the second section of the tax act. It appears, for the consolida- tion of the poorer sort, that the palace worth 50,000 dollars, is to pay five times as much in proportion to its value as the cottage that is worth only 500 dollars."
Thus—Suppose there is in Boston or Philadelphia, a mechanic, whose house and shop are worth 500 dollars, he will pay a tax of one dollar. Suppose there are 500 such mechanics, they will, of course, pay a tax of 500 dollars. Suppose further, that one man owns a house and out buildings worth 50,000 dollars, he will then have to pay a tax of 500 dollars that is, he will pay as great a tax for property worth only 50,000 dollars, as the 500 mechanics will pay for property worth 250,000 dollars. Or thus—My neighbour's farm house and barn are worth 500 dollars; my house and buildings (and I am a farmer too) are worth 5,000 dollars; now my neighbour will pay a tax of one dollar, and I a tax of 25 dollars: that is I shall pay as great a tax for property worth 5,000 dollars, as 25 brother farmers will pay for property worth 12,500 dollars.
Aud if the palace of the great and illus- trious Farmer of Mount Vernon is worth 50,000 dollars, he will pay as great a tax for it as 500 other farmers of the above de- scription, will pay for property worth 250,000 dollars. The foregoing statements shew clearly that the federal government have consulted the interest of the poorer classes of citizens; and have aimed in this, as indeed they have in all their fiscal laws, to draw the public revenue from the purples of the wealthy, and if there is a Jacobin, or Frenchified Ame- rican, who now bawls against the tax as bur- thensome to the poor, I would beg leave to warn my fellow citizens to be on their guard, and in the language of inspiration, would say, "Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."

PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10.
Extract of a letter from an American in Spain, dated September 18, 1793.
"The French privateers have as yet kept at a respectable distance from our armed merchant vessels in the Mediterranean; but it is said that French privateers of a larger size are fitting out to attack them."
TRANSLATION
OF THE LETTER FROM LOWER SAZONY, September 26th, 1793.
"Let us not too hastily credit the news which already represents Buonaparte in extreme distress, which declares that he has been repulsed by the cavalry of the Bays, retreating towards Alexandria, entering that place, and there entrenching himself as in the only post which is tenable against his enemies;—for, although these reports are subsequent to the accounts which announced his entry into Cairo, it is difficult to suppose that, being master of that city and of all lower Egypt, he should have suffered such a reverse as to occasion him suddenly to retreat sixty leagues—and that, with chosen troops, the best artillery of Europe, and skillful tactics, he should not have been able to maintain his first advantages against the Orientals, but little accustomed to war, without tactics and without artillery."
"I am sensible that there are situations in which valor and skill must yield to numbers; that the best artillery may become useless in vast plains of sand, and that European tactics may be disconcerted by the shock of those enormous masses of cavalry, which the Bays, in uniting their forces, will assemble. I likewise know that the French have enemies to combat in Egypt much more formidable than the Bays, and against which neither valor nor tactics can avail—the climate, pestilence, and famine. But let us admit that Buonaparte has succeeded against these enemies, and that the best part of Egypt has submitted to his power—Do you believe that he has not been weakened by the enemies over whom he has triumphed? Do you believe that, his communication with Europe being henceforth entirely cut off, he has nothing to dread from the discontent of the country which is subjected; nor from the Bays who are still in arms; nor from the forces of the Grand Signior, become the enemy of the Republic; nor from the diseases, which will desolate his army before it is seasoned to the climate?"
"The hostility of the Grand Signior, and the impossibility of receiving succours from Europe, must inevitably prove fatal in a country where he cannot recruit his force. A month ago we might reasonably have doubted the hostility of the Grand Signior. Every thing led to a belief that he approved, or at least permitted the expedition of the French—the confidence with which they failed to Egypt, the pains taken by their friends in that country, the apparent indifference of the Divan, and the total inactivity of the Turkish Minister, who saw all their movements at Paris, without demanding any explanation from the Divan. But there is no longer either indifference or inactivity on the part of the Ottomans; and while the Journalists remark that the Turkish Minister at Paris wears an air of surprise, the French Agent at Constantinople is truly astonished at the vigorous measures of the Porte."
"You are acquainted with those measures involving a declaration of war—You are acquainted with the very supplicating memorial presented by Ruffin; the intercession of the Batavian Minister, and his severe reception; the conduct of the Spanish Minister, who, forgetting all decorum, told the Reis-Effendi that the French had invaded Egypt for the benefit of the Grand Signior; the dry and sensible reply of the Ottoman Minister to this shocking incongruity; the arrests to which Ruffin has been subjected; the order which has been given him to take down the insignia of the Republic; the firmness directed against all the French; the military preparations commenced against them in every quarter; in fine, all that dignity and energy which, in the Divan, has succeeded to that imprudent indifference, the effects of which present to every neutral power a great and memorable lesson."
The fleet of the Sans-culottes lost in the late engagement with admiral Nelson, 226 men, killed, blown up and drowned, and 3705 prisoners,—according to authentic accounts in the Leyden Gazette. The prisoners may be considered as destroyed, in the determination of admiral Nelson to land them.

Extract of a letter from Paris, Oct. 2. The return of the division of Bompard to Brest, appears to be confirmed; He had not been able to continue his course for Ireland, on account of the English squadrons which he knew to be in those quarters. We are without any further news from Malta, much less from Buonaparte, nor from Egypt.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, dated September 5.
"At length the event so unexpected to arise out of the most ancient alliances, has come to pass: yesterday the first interpreter of the Porte communicated to all the ministers as well as of allied as of neutral powers, the declaration of war of the Grand Signior against France. This piece is the strongest and most vigorous which has for a long time issued
from the Ottoman Cabinet: its grievances, its reproaches are not justified, and its expectations still less so. It there paints the proceedings of the French government with a pencil of the darkest shade; and when we call to mind the ancient enmity which has subsisted during so many ages between the Turks and French empires, the footing of intimacy upon which the two powers have so long been, and still were, until within a few years, one cannot help accounting the animosity, which pervades the hard and bitter style of the Ottoman manifesto, amongst the changes unprovided against in the national reports, which the instability of the political world frequently involves, but which have never been so frequent as of late since the epoch of the French revolution. It deals out with prodigality against the French nation, the epithets of treacherous, perfidious, faithless, infidel . It reproaches her with projects of usurpation and of conquest. It complains of her ambition and of her want of faith in the observation of treaties, &c. In a word, this declaration, conceived in the greatest hatred, has produced the effect, which might be expected from it; it has excited the highest degree of popular fury against the French—they have all been arrested; and, if there remained a single individual at large, the suspicions which are entertained against France, of having fomented the revolt of Pashwan Oglou and of having furnished him with the means of so long a resistance, would cost him his life. The rupture with France is to be accompanied with new efforts against him: he is to be pressed with the greatest energy: all overtures of reconciliation, all negotiations have ceased: Widdin is more frightened than ever; and Pashwan Oglou begins to fall in provisions. In virtue of the most express orders from the Porte, measures have been taken to establish order amongst the troops of the Seraskier, who is to act against him. The views which they appear to have had on Wallachia and Moldavia will be frustrated at once."
Extract of a letter from Rastadt, Sept. 30. "Every day of the political horizon, blackens daily more and more; the clouds thicken, and the thunder seems ready to burst: the separation between France and Austria, has attained its extremest degree: already this tension, on the point of breaking, would have been shivered, if in the contest, already pushed to excess, to move were not only to shed blood: but the two parties realize, that they will have to combat for their existence: Austria is not ignorant, that the revolutionary principles set in activity by French influence will have no object but the overthrow of her throne, and that of all the princes of the family. France beholds the numbers of her adversaries encircling with the development of her projects; while six years of war have utterly exhausted the resources, which she needs to enable her to sustain the efforts of her domestic and foreign enemies."
COIRE, (in the Grisons) Sept. 15.
Our former government, which the influence of France had caused to be shaken in some of its ancient establishments, at the commencement of the year, has been restored. Messieurs Troll, Burger-master, and ancient President of the confederation; Daniel Salis chief of the tribes; and Frederick Salis, Recorder of the Federation, have been, by a plurality of the tribes, re-instituted in their ancient places and dignities. All other citizens of the Grisons, who had been turned out of office, have been re-instituted.
[Thus the trade of Government-making daily declines; the time will soon come, when all the humbled vassals of the Great Nation must shake off their garments of blood, and assume their old habits. Thus do the works of the revolutionizers perish before their eyes—thus do they follow them, ere they have rested from their labors.]
COIRE, 17th September.
The opening of the Diet of the Three Grisons Leagues, took place the 12th of this month at Hanz. The most essential business of the Diet was the appointment of a Committee to answer the French Resident, Florent Guyot, relative to the satisfaction which he has demanded. They also abolished by a great majority, the form of oath prescribed at the reformation in 1794.
Recommencement of Hostilities
Extract of a letter from Paris, 2d October.
Although the address to the French nation, relative to the recommencement of hostilities in Germany and in Italy (which want of room prevents us from inserting this day) is a symptom too alarming, not to give room for supposing the probability of such an event; and notwithstanding the movement of troops towards the Upper Rhine and Switzerland, of which the advices from Strasbourg contain the details; the friends of peace ought not yet to renounce all hope of seeing it renewed at least in Germany. In giving an account of the augmentation of the forces at Kehl, Auenheim, and upon the whole border of Alsace, the same letters from Strasbourg announce, not only that general Schauenburg has not yet entered into the country of the Grisons, but also the probability that he will not enter it, in order not to furnish a motive of rupture to Austria, who has declared that "the will consider that step as a declaration of war." Another motive for believing that, in spite of preparations each day more menacing, between the French republic and Austria, neither party has yet renounced the continuance of negotiations, is the disposition, which is about to be made, in regard to the place of envoy extraordinary of France to the Batavian republic. These functions are about to be confided to citizen Lombard (of Langres) formerly member of the Convention, and now judge of the Tribunal of Cassation: he let off the day before yesterday for the Hague. We infer from this, that, this post having before been destined for the minister Roberjot, one of our Plenipotentiaries at Rastadt, this last
cannot very soon return, and that consequently there is every appearance of a happy period to the negotiation.
[Did ever man hear before, such similitude of evidences? Because Mr. Scoundrel Schauenburg is not going to invade the Grisons, an attempt to fraternize whom the emperor has declared he will consider a declaration of war? and because the directory have concluded not to remove one of their jugglers from Rastadt to Holland, as they had thought of doing; this witness concludes that war will not take place, although it has formally recommenced; and, as it seems, the directory have found it necessary to utter a new compound of Sophistry and jargon, to reconcile their slaves to the measure. No; this fellow is a fool. The war has recommenced, as it ought long ago to have done; the Emperor has found, that the inlidious villains, while contending, months together, for the demolition of Kehl, were aiming only at the demolition of his whole Empire. He has wisely resolved to be beforehand with them, and to strike, himself, the blow their treachery meditated against him. From the above elaborate production, as well as from the whole tenor of various late foreign prints, now before me, which, no longer declaiming on the necessity of "hurling tyrants from their thrones," "avenging humanity," and spreading the "impreceptible rights of man," breathe only light after peace,—the inference is inevitable that they find themselves in an attitude, in which they look upon war with horror. This is a fact of the most glorious nature. Now will their own maxims be marshallled against them. "Eternal war against tyrants" will be the general cry; the hardy peasantry of Germany, the free citizens of Russia, the enlightened followers of Mahomet, under united banners, will march on to the explosion and annihilation of the filthy, lewd, profane and nonensical republic. While the nation of Nelson confines them within their dens, other justly merciless enemies every where encircle them with a wall of fire. This work is begun: mean while they are busy in their old and proper trade, of cutting one another throats.]
October 3. The last news from Switzerland depict that country as tranquil , since the terrible example, which the miserable people of Unterwald have been subjected to: those of Swetz have been obliged to deliver up the principal chiefs, who had caused it to take a part in the insurrection. As to the countries of the Grisons, the Resident of France, Florent Guyot, has quitted it: he is at Hagaz, in the district of Sargens, canton of Lintz. It is nevertheless apparent, that the satisfaction which he has demanded, involves hostilities, of which, in the present conjuncture, it would be extremely difficult to calculate the consequences.
[Tranquility in Switzerland! Yes, she is tranquil—quiet as a felled ox, or a plantation after a hurricane. Her tranquillity must be sublime; and her days must pass in wonderful equanimity, disturbed only by some requisition, or one or two executions now and then, for insubordination and incivivism.—Look at this beautiful tranquillity, Mr. Galatin, do look at it, and let us have a navy to defend ourselves, and revenues to defray the expense of it.]
LEYDEN, October 8.
We have received by the Post of the Empire, on the 3d of this month, the order of the Porte, addressed to Caimacan, by which, in announcing the dismissal of the Grand Vizier, Izzed Mehemed Pacha, "as abettor of crafty designs of France," and the appointment of his successor, Jusuf Pacha, Governor of Erzerum, orders the publication by him of war against the French, and the adoption of measures to repress their hostilities. It appears that this event, so unanticipated; the unequivocal part which Russia has, at the same time, taken, the disaster of the Toulon fleet; the dangerous position of Buonaparte; the ill-success of the expedition concerted against Ireland, [and, tho' the Leyden Editor has omitted it, we may add, the noble vigour of the American administration]—that all these circumstances combined, have augmented the desire of peace, on the part of France, and that the concessions made at Rastadt, are the first fruits of it, which must soon be followed by other effects.
An Expedition against Leghorn was talked of: the convoy, which it was pretended had left Toulon to take possession of it, is returned, according to news from Paris of the 4th of October.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, 2d September.
Yesterday, we beheld here a spectacle, which we had been far from expecting these many years to come, and which, without doubt, will be accounted amongst the most astonishing and unexpected events, amongst those political combinations, which wander from the natural order of things, but which the French revolution has hatched in great abundance. We saw a Russian fleet, numerous and well-equipped, coming from the Black Sea, passing before the Seraglio, and traversing the Canal, to enter the Archipelago. The coup d'oeil was superb; but it was yet more curious to behold the Musulmen, flouting at an event, which they would have regarded, two years ago, as fatal to the interests of the Ottoman Porte. The multitude whom the spectacle drew together, was immense; and the joy it excited, unbounded and incredible. Such is the effect of the impression which the
expedition of the French into Egypt has caused, and the perdition, which has resulted from it, that a government, which calls itself the Great Nation, aspires to universal domination by the destruction of all others, by the abolition of their worship, of their manners, and their customs. Russia has profited of it. Now, cry the Turks (encapsulated to behold the Russian fleet advancing under crowded sail and a fair wind towards the White Sea)—Now the peace with Russia may endure long, long indeed—May it last for ages! In truth, it is difficult to see a naval armament under the Russian flag in those waters where the Porte never till now suffered any foreign fleet,—to see it passing under the walls of the Seraglio, without finding a pledge, not merely of reconciliation, but even of the close alliance which is established between the Grand Signior and the Emperor of the Russians. The Porte had nevertheless taken certain precautions, comprised in a convention which has been concluded, relative to this passage, between the General Tamara, Minister of the Court of Russia, and the Reis Effendi. In virtue of that agreement, the Russian vessels have only passed by two and two, in traversing the canal; and they were prohibited from forming a junction till after having passed the Dardanelles, and a certain distance from it.
Just after the Russian fleet had passed, in the midst of the marks of public joy, the Porte received, directly from Egypt, the news, that the Arabs had had the imprudence to attack the French in their entrenchments. They were repulsed with a very considerable loss; but the French, on their side, have not obtained this advantage without suffering severely. At the close of this action, Buonaparte, at the head of six thousand men, of the flower of his army, had taken possession of Cairo. Independently of the diminution which the French army experienced by these continual combats, the number which it had lost by sickness was still more considerable, at the middle of August: they were found to be in great quantities in the hospitals: the rest of the forces of Buonaparte occupied Alexandria and other quarters.

Augusta, (Geo.) 21st Nov. 1798.
POPU LI VOX DEI. The leaving out of Mr. Baldwin in our federal representation, is a happy illustration of the foregoing maxim, and there is no doubt but it would apply generally, were the public mind equally informed on every subject on which it has to decide, as well as it is in the present instance. Returns from sixteen counties have been received, by which it appears Col. Talliavero of Wilkes county, has 3635 votes, James Jones, Esq. of Chatham county, 3364, and Mr. Baldwin 2828:—the eight counties, whose returns are not known, are generally remote, and bear no comparison in point of population to the others, so that if Mr. Baldwin has the most favorable poll which can be counted upon throughout them, it will not affect the election of Col. Talliavero and Mr. Jones.
