LAW OF THE UNION.
SECOND CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES, AT THE SECOND SESSION; Begun and held at the City of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, on Monday the fifth of November, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-two.
An ACT for enrolling and licensing ships or vessels to be employed in the coasting trade and fisheries, and for regulating the same.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That ships or vessels, enrolled by virtue of "An act for registering and clearing vessels, regulating the coasting trade, and for other purposes," and those of twenty tons and upwards, which shall be enrolled after the last day of May next, in pursuance of this act, and having a licence in force, or if less than twenty tons, not being enrolled, shall have a licence in force, as is hereinafter required, and no others shall be deemed ships or vessels of the United States, entitled to the privileges of ships or vessels employed in the coasting trade or fisheries.
And be it further enacted, That from and after the last day of May next, in order for the enrolment of any ship or vessel, the same shall possess the same qualifications, and the same requisites, in all respects, as are required by the act, intituled, "An act for registering and clearing vessels, regulating the coasting trade, and for other purposes," and the same duties and authorities are hereby given and imposed on all officers, respectively, in relation to such enrolments, and the same proceedings shall be had, in similar cases, touching such enrolments; and the ships or vessels so enrolled, with the master, or owner or owners thereof, shall be subject to the same requisites, as are in those respects provided for vessels registered by virtue of the aforesaid act; the record of which enrolment shall be made, and an abstract or copy thereof granted, as nearly as may be, in the form following: "Enrolment in conformity to an act of the Congress of the United States of America, intituled, "An act for enrolling and licensing ships or vessels, to be employed in the coasting trade and fisheries, and for regulating the same," [inserting here the name of the person, with his occupation and place of abode, by whom the oath or affirmation is to be made] having taken and subscribed the oath (or affirmation) required by this act, and having sworn (or affirmed) that he (or she, and if more than one owner, adding the words "together with," and the name or names, occupation or occupations, place or places of abode, of the owner or owners) is, (or are) a citizen (or citizens) of the United States, and sole owner (or owners) of the ship or vessel, called the [inserting here her name] of [inserting here the name of the port to which she may belong] whereof [inserting here the name of the master] is at present master, and is a citizen of the United States, and that the said ship or vessel was [inserting here when and where built] and [inserting here the name and office, if any, of the person by whom she shall have been surveyed, or admeasured] having certified that the said ship or vessel has [inserting here the number of decks] and [inserting here the number of masts] and that her length is [inserting here the number of feet] her breadth [inserting here the number of feet] her depth [inserting here the number of feet] and that the measures [inserting here her number of tons] that she is (describing here the particular kind of vessel, whether ship, brigantine, snow, schooner, sloop, or whatever else, together with her built, and specifying whether she has any or no gallery or head) and the said [naming the owner, or the master, or other person acting in behalf of the owner or owners, by whom the certificate of admeasurement shall have been countersigned] having agreed to the description and admeasurement above specified, and sufficient security having been given, according to the said act, the said ship or vessel has been duly enrolled, at the port of [naming the port where enrolled] Given under my hand and seal, at [naming the said port] this [inserting the particular day] day of [naming the month] in the year (specifying the number of the year, in words at length.)"
And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the collectors of the fe-
veral districts, to enrol and licence any ship or vessel, that may be registered, upon such registry being given up, or to register any ship or vessel, that may be enrolled, upon such enrolment and licence being given up. And when any ship or vessel shall be in any other district, than the one to which she belongs, the collector of such district, on the application of the master or commander thereof, and upon his taking an oath or affirmation, that, according to his best knowledge and belief, the property remains, as expressed in the register or enrolment proposed to be given up, and upon his giving the bonds required for granting registers, shall make the exchanges aforesaid; but in every such case, the collector, to whom the register, or enrolment and licence may be given up, shall transmit the same to the register of the treasury; and the register, or enrolment and licence, granted in lieu thereof, shall within ten days after the arrival of such ship or vessel within the district to which she belongs, be delivered to the collector of the said district, and be by him cancelled. And if the said master or commander shall neglect to deliver the said register or enrolment and licence, within the time aforesaid, he shall forfeit one hundred dollars.
And be it further enacted, That in order to the licensing of any ship or vessel for carrying on the coasting trade or fisheries, the husband, or managing owner, together with the master thereof, with one or more sureties to the satisfaction of the collector granting the same, shall become bound to pay to the United States, if such ship or vessel be of the burthen of five tons, and less than twenty tons, the sum of one hundred dollars; and if twenty tons, and not exceeding thirty tons, the sum of two hundred dollars; and if above thirty tons, and not exceeding sixty tons, the sum of five hundred dollars; and if above sixty tons, the sum of one thousand dollars. In case it shall appear, within two years from the date of the bond, that such ship or vessel has been employed in any trade, whereby the revenue of the United States has been defrauded during the time, the licence granted to such ship or vessel remained in force; and the master of such ship or vessel shall also swear, or affirm, that he is a citizen of the United States, and that such licence shall not be used for any other vessel or employment, than that for which it is specially granted, or in any trade or business, whereby the revenue of the United States may be defrauded; and if such ship or vessel be less than twenty tons burthen, the husband or managing owner shall swear or affirm, that she is wholly the property of a citizen or citizens of the United States; whereupon it shall be the duty of the collector of the district comprehending the port, whereto such ship or vessel may belong (the duty of six cents per ton being first paid) to grant a licence, in the form following: "Licence for carrying on the [here insert, coasting trade, whale fishery, or cod fishery, as the case may be.]"
"In pursuance of an act of the Congress of the United States of America, intituled, "An act for enrolling and licensing ships or vessels to be employed in the coasting trade and fisheries, and for regulating the same," [inserting here the name of the husband or managing owner, with his occupation and place of abode, and the name of the master, with the place of his abode] having given bond, that the [insert here the description of the vessel, whether ship, brigantine, snow, schooner, sloop, or whatever else she may be] called the [insert here the vessel's name] whereof the said [naming the master] is master, burthen [insert here the number of tons, in words] tons, as appears by her enrolment, dated at [naming the district, day, month, and year, in words at length]—but if she be less than twenty tons, insert, instead thereof—proof being had of her admeasurement shall not be employed in any trade, while this licence shall continue in force, whereby the revenue of the United States shall be defrauded, and having also sworn (or affirmed) that this licence shall not be used for any other vessel, or for any other employment, than is herein specified, licence is hereby granted for the said [inserting here the description of the vessel] called the [inserting here the vessel's name] to be employed in carrying on the [inserting here, coasting trade, whale fishery, or cod fishery, as the case may be] for one year from the date hereof, and no longer: Given under my hand and seal, at [naming the said district] this [inserting the particular day] day of [naming the month] in the year (specifying the number of the year in words at length.)"
And be it further enacted, That no licence granted to any ship or vessel, shall be considered in force, any longer than such ship or vessel is owned, and of the description set forth in such licence, or for carrying on any other business or employment than that for which she is specially licenced, and if any ship or vessel be found with a forged or altered licence, or making use of a licence granted for any other ship or vessel, such ship or vessel, with her tackle, apparel, and the cargo found on board her, shall be forfeited.
And be it further enacted, That after the last day of May next, every ship or vessel of twenty tons or upwards (other than such as are registered) found trading between district and district, or between different places in the same district, or carrying on the fishery, without being enrolled and licenced, or if less than twenty tons, and not less than five tons, without a licence, in manner as is provided by this act, such ship or vessel, if laden with goods, the growth, or manufacture of the United States only (distilled spirits excepted) or in ballast, shall pay the same fees and tonnage in every port of the United States, at which she may arrive, as ships or vessels not belonging to a citizen or citizens of the United States, and if she have on board any articles of foreign growth or manufacture, or distilled spirits, other than sea-stores, the ship or vessel, together with her tackle, apparel, and furniture, and the lading found on board, shall be forfeited: Provided, however, if such or vessel be at sea, at the expiration of the time, for which the licence was given, and the master of such ship or vessel shall swear or affirm that such was the case, and shall also within forty-eight hours after his arrival deliver to the collector of the district in which he shall first arrive the licence which shall have expired, the forfeiture aforesaid shall not be incurred, nor shall the ship or vessel be liable to pay the fees and tonnage aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That the collector of each district shall progressively number the licences by him granted, beginning anew at the commencement of each year, and shall make a record thereof in a book, to be by him kept for that purpose, and shall, once in three months, transmit to the Register of the Treasury, copies of the licences, which shall have been so granted by him; and also of such licences, as shall have been given up or returned to him, respectively, in pursuance of this act. And where any ship or vessel shall be licenced, or enrolled anew, or being licenced and enrolled, shall afterwards be registered, or being registered, shall afterwards be enrolled, or licenced, she shall, in every such case, be enrolled, licenced or registered by her former name.
And be it further enacted, That if any ship or vessel, enrolled or licenced, as aforesaid, shall proceed on a foreign voyage, without first giving up her enrolment and licence, to the collector of the district comprehending the port, from which she is about to proceed on such foreign voyage, and being duly registered by such collector, every such ship or vessel, together with her tackle, apparel and furniture, and the goods, wares and merchandise, so imported therein, shall be liable to seizure and forfeiture: Provided always, if the port, from which, such ship or vessel is about to proceed on such foreign voyage, be not within the district, where such ship or vessel is enrolled, the collector of such district shall give to the master of such ship or vessel a certificate, specifying that the enrolment and licence of such ship or vessel is received by him, and the time when it was so received; which certificate shall afterwards be delivered by the said master to the collector, who may have granted such enrolment and licence.
And be it further enacted, That the licence, granted to any ship or vessel, shall be given up to the collector of the district, who may have granted the same, within three days after the expiration of the time, for which it was granted, in case such ship or vessel be then within the district, or if she be absent at that time, within three days from her first arrival within the district afterwards, or if she be out of the district, within three days after the arrival of the master within any district, to the collector of such district taking his certificate therefor; and if the master thereof shall neglect, or refuse to deliver up the licence, as aforesaid, he shall forfeit fifty dollars; but if such licence shall have been previously given up to the collector of any other district, as authorized by this act, and certificate thereof under the hand of such collector, be produced by such master, or if such licence be lost, or destroyed, or unintentionally mislaid, so that it cannot be found, and the master of such ship or vessel shall make and subscribe an oath or affirmation, that such licence is lost, destroyed, or unintentionally mislaid, as he verily believes, and that the same, if found, shall be delivered up, as is herein required, then the aforesaid penalty shall not be incurred. And if such licence shall be lost, destroyed, or unintentionally mislaid, as aforesaid, before the expiration of the time, for which it was granted, upon the like oath or affirmation being made and subscribed by the master of such ship or vessel, the said collector is hereby authorized and required, upon application being made therefor, to licence such ship or vessel anew.
And be it further enacted, That it shall and may be lawful for the owner or owners of any licenced ship or vessel, to return such licence to the collector who granted the same,
at any time within the year, for which it was granted, who shall thereupon cancel the same and shall licence such vessel anew, upon the application of the owner or owners, and upon the conditions herein before required, being complied with; and in case the term, for which the former licence was granted, shall not be expired, an abatement of the tonnage of six cents per ton shall be made, in the proportion of the time so unexpired.
And be it further enacted, That every licenced ship or vessel shall have her name, and the port to which she belongs, painted on her stern, in the manner as is provided for registered ships or vessels, and if any licenced ship or vessel be found, without such painting, the owner or owners thereof shall pay twenty dollars.
And be it further enacted, That when the master of any licenced ship or vessel, ferry boats excepted, shall be changed, the new master, or, in case of his absence, the owner or one of the owners thereof, shall report such change to the collector residing at the port where the same may happen; if there be one, otherwise, to the collector residing at any port, where such ship or vessel may next arrive, who, upon the oath or affirmation of such new master, or in case of his absence, of the owner or one of the owners, that he is a citizen of the United States, and that such ship or vessel shall not, while such licence continues in force, be employed in any manner, whereby the revenue of the United States may be defrauded, shall endorse such change on the licence, with the name of the new master; and when any change shall happen, as aforesaid, and such change shall not be reported, and the endorsement made of such change, as is herein required, such ship or vessel, found carrying on the coasting trade or fisheries, shall be subject to pay the same fees and tonnage, as a vessel of the United States, having a register, and the said new master shall forfeit and pay the sum of ten dollars.
And be it further enacted, That it shall be lawful, at all times, for any officer concerned in the collection of the revenue, to inspect the enrolment or licence of any ship or vessel; and if the master of any ship or vessel shall not exhibit the same, when thereunto required by such officer, he shall pay one hundred dollars.
And be it further enacted, That the master or commander of every ship or vessel licenced for carrying on the coasting trade, destined from a district in one State, to a district in the same, or an adjoining State on the sea coast, or on a navigable river, having on board, either distilled spirits in casks exceeding five hundred gallons, wine in casks exceeding two hundred and fifty gallons, or in bottles exceeding one hundred dozens, sugar in casks or boxes exceeding three thousand pounds, tea in chests or boxes exceeding five hundred pounds, coffee in casks or bags exceeding one thousand pounds, or foreign merchandise in packages, as imported, exceeding in value four hundred dollars, or goods, wares or merchandise, consisting of such enumerated or other articles of foreign growth or manufacture, or of both, whose aggregate value exceeds eight hundred dollars, shall, previous to the departure of such ship or vessel, from the port where she may then be, make out and subscribe duplicate manifests of the whole of such cargo on board such ship or vessel, specifying in such manifests, the marks and numbers of every cask, bag, box, chest or package containing the same, with the name and place of residence of every shipper and consignee, and the quantity shipped by and to each, and if there be a collector or surveyor, residing at such port, or within five miles thereof, be shall deliver such manifests to the collector, if there be one, otherwise to the surveyor, before whom he shall swear or affirm, to the best of his knowledge and belief, that the goods therein contained were legally imported, and the duties thereupon paid or secured, or if spirits distilled within the United States, that the duties thereupon have been paid or secured, whereupon the said collector or surveyor shall certify the same on the said manifests, one of which he shall return to the said master, with a permit, specifying thereon, generally, the lading on board such ship or vessel, and authorizing him to proceed to the port of his destination. And if any ship or vessel, being laden and destined, as aforesaid, shall depart from the port where she may then be, without the master or commander having first made out and subscribed duplicate manifests of the lading on board such ship or vessel, and in case there be a collector or surveyor residing at such port, or within five miles thereof, without having previously delivered the same to the said collector or surveyor, and obtaining a permit, in manner as is herein required, such master or commander shall pay one hundred dollars.

(To be concluded in our next.)

FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION.
THURSDAY, January 17.
THE Appeal Nominal on the question, what punishment shall be inflicted on Louis Capet? continued through the whole of yesterday and the preceding night, each member assigning reasons for his opinion. The following are the most remarkable.
Desligoite—" I will not enter into any composition with tyrants. I vote for death and speedy execution of the sentence."
Garran de Coulon—" I am of opinion we cannot exercise, at the same time the functions of Accusers, Judges, and Jury. The people did not delegate to us the right of pronouncing without their ratification. I consider that to be tyranny, when men place themselves above that ever-sacred law, the sovereignty of the people. I respect the opinions of those who entertain sentiments different from mine, but I cannot adopt them."
Chabot—" I vote for death, because Louis has been a tyrant; because he is still one, and because he may again become so."
Robertspierre—" Because you have established yourselves the judges of Louis, without the usual forms, are you less his judges? You cannot separate your quality of Judge from that of Legislator. These two qualities are indivisible. You have acknowledged the crimes of the tyrant. It is your duty to punish them. No consideration should make you hesitate respecting the punishment reserved for the greatest criminal that ever existed. I vote for the punishment of death."
Danton—" I am not one of those statesmen who know not how to determine but from political principles. I am a Republican, and do not hesitate respecting the choice of that punishment reserved for Louis the last. You ought to strike terror into tyrants by an inflexibility of character. I vote for the punishment of death."
Robert—" I vote for death; and if any regret remains with me, it is, that my competence does not extend to all tyrants. I would condemn them all to death."
Barrere—" The tree of liberty does not flourish, unless moistened
with the blood of Kings. I vote for death."
Egalite—" Those who have made, or may make attempts against the sovereignty of the people deserve death—I vote for death."
Condorcet—" I declare that no circumstance except the present could induce me to pronounce sentence of death against any one. I request, that the severest punishment, next to death, may be inflicted on Louis; but in case death shall be pronounced against him, I request that the political consideration presented by Malche, viz. Whether the punishment ought to be accelerated or retarded? ought to be discussed."
Lanau—" A republican is a man of few words. The motives of my opinion are here. [Laying his hand on his heart]. I vote for death."
Barbaroux—" I vote for the death of the tyrant. In a few moments I shall vote for the expulsion of his family."
Villette—" I vote for the confinement of Louis as an hostage of peace. He is overturned amidst the ruins of the throne, and will now close up every avenue of it."
Ancharis Cloots—" In the name of the Human Race, I vote for the death of Louis."
Thomas Paine—" I vote for the provisional confinement of Louis, and for his expulsion after the war."
Brissot—" I am of opinion that the only way of avoiding the dangers which threaten us, is to pronounce the punishment of death against Louis, and defer its execution to the moment when the people shall have sanctioned the constitution which we shall present them."
The President announced that he was going to proclaim the result of the Appeal Nominal. The most profound silence prevailed for several minutes. He said—
"The assembly is composed of 745 members—one of these is dead, 6 indisposed, 2 absent without cause, and censured in the minutes conformable to the decree—11 absent upon commissions, and 4 who do not vote, making in all 23 members who have given no opinion. The number of votes is thus reduced to 720. In order that there may be a majority, it is necessary that there should be an union of 361 suffrages: 21 members have voted for death, with the demand of a discussion on the period of his execution; one has voted for death, with the reserve of its commutation or delay; two for death, not to be carried into execution till peace, unless in case of invasion on the French territory, to be inflicted in 24 hours after the invasion; 2 for chains; 319 for imprisonment and banishment—and 366 for death."
The President then lowering the tone of his voice, amidst the most awful silence, pronounced the following sentence:
"I declare then, in the name of the Convention, that the punishment which it pronounces against LOUIS CAPET, is—DEATH."
SATURDAY, January 19.
At eleven o'clock the sitting had not opened, on account of the absence of the President and two Secretaries. It was demanded that they should be censured; but the President Vergniaux being indisposed, and the Secretaries giving sufficient excuse, the decree of censure was repealed.
Several members spoke on the question of a respite.
M. Buzot represented the personal dangers which threatened those who approved of a delay. I conclude with giving as my opinion, that the execution of the sentence of death be deferred till the expulsion of all the Bourbons.
Thuriot—I demand that Louis be executed within 24 hours, and that the executive council be charged to take the measures necessary to ensure the public safety.
Legendre—The hour of justice is now come; the head of Louis must fall on the scaffold. I am against all respite.
After some debate, the question was determined simply thus: Shall there, or shall there not be a delay?
The nominal appeal commenced at eight o'clock. At midnight the President announced—" That no delay could take place, there being a majority of 38 voices for the execution of the sentence at the expiration of 24 hours."
MONDAY, January 21.
The sitting commenced by reading the following letter:
"Representatives,
"Benoit-Louis Leduc begs the National Convention will permit him to give to Louis Capet those funeral honors which the dignity of the National Convention ought to allow him. He requests therefore that they will order the body of Louis Capet to be delivered to him, that he may carry it to Sens, and deposit it near that of his father."
After an observation made by Chabot, that Louis ought to be buried like other citizens in the usual burying place of the Section in which he lived, the Convention passed to the Order of the day.
Mangeot being admitted to the bar, informed the Convention, that in the ci-devant Palais Royal, he had heard expressions in favor of Louis, and among others, the following:
"Louis, then, is condemned to death, but those who have condemned him, may perish in their turn." Mangeot added, that the expressions he had heard seemed to agree with the assassination which had been committed on the person of Pelletier.
Thuriot—" One of our colleagues, whose soul was always pure, has fallen by the hand of an assassin. It is of the utmost importance that the Convention should discover the plot of the conspiracy; we shall then see from what quarter the blow has proceeded. It is no longer time to dissemble. There exists a conspiracy against the purest patriots. All traitors and conspirators must be seized, put in chains, and be dragged to the scaffold. I move that the Executive Council be ordered to give an account of the circumstances which preceded, accompanied and followed the transaction—whether Paris, the assassin, formerly one of the body guards, be arrested, and his papers sealed up."
Maure—" A friend of Pelletier gave the following account of his assassination. He was dining yesterday at the Garden de l'Egalite , in a Coffee-house kept by one Ferrier. Six persons came from an adjoining apartment, and one said, 'There is that scoundrel Pelletier Saint Fargeau.' 'My name is Pelletier,' replied the Deputy, 'but I am not a scoundrel.' 'Did you not vote for the death of the King?' 'Yes I did, but that was a duty imposed on me by my conscience.' Scarcely had he pronounced the words when Paris thrust his sabre into the lower part of his belly, which occasioned a large and deep wound. Saint Fargeau requested that no hurt might be done to the assassin. He was carried to his father's house, and expired this morning, wishing that his death might be useful to the Republic."
Many members complained of having received letters threatening their lives.
The Convention passed a decree to attend his funeral.
The Convention then recurring to the various propositions which had been made, decreed as follows.
I. An address to the French people respecting the present circumstances shall be drawn up.
II. Every citizen shall, in the course of 24 hours, declare, under the penalty of a fine of . . . . Whether he has any Emigrants as lodgers.
III. The Committee of the public safety, shall be renewed, and shall consist of twelve members, chosen by open vote.
IV. The plan of the new constitution shall be presented in the course of a fortnight.
PARIS, JAN. 21.
On Friday morning the Dauphin stole down stairs—the sentry at the door asked him where he was going—" into the street, replied the
infant Prince, throughout all Paris to beg of the people not to kill my dear Papa." One of the guards carried him to the King; when he heard what the child had said, he burst into tears, and pressed him to his bosom.
The King took leave of the Queen and his infant Son and Daughter, at five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The Queen was in a raving delirium.
Defeze, the King's Counsel, is dying with a broken heart.
M. Maletherbes is the man who announced the King his fate in these words:—" My Prince I know you are courageous, but I cannot forbear telling you, sentence has been pulled."
"Well then (said the devoted King) so much the better, my resolution is already formed, I behold, without terror, my last hour approaching; and I shall lay my head on the block without any uneasiness; what will perhaps surprise you more, is, that my Wife and Sifter think on this subject exactly as I do."
Maletherbes fell at his feet and said; "I will never leave you, my good Prince I would die "for you."—He was torn from the Royal victim by a Municipal Satellite, who told him, he had orders from the Council that he should quit the Temple. Maletherbes departed, and fainted before the door. He was carried home, and is much indisposed.
His Majesty had embraced him, taking a ring off his finger and giving it to him, saying "Remember me!"
JANUARY 22.
THE EXECUTION.
Conformably to the arrangements made by the executive council, Louis was yesterday put to death at the Place de la Revolution, heretofore Place de Louis XV.
Twenty-five citizens of known principles, well armed, acquainted with the manual exercise, and having each 16 rounds of shot, were chosen from each section to form a guard of 1200 men, who accompanied the unfortunate monarch to the place of execution.
Strong detachments from the different legions were posted in the streets through which the royal prisoner was to pass, and also in all the avenues leading to the place de la Revolution, to prevent any confusion, and each section had a body in reserve, ready to move at a moment's warning, to maintain public order, should any attempts have been made to disturb it.
Cannon were also distributed in every quarter, where it was thought they could be any way serviceable, had events made it necessary to have employed them; for even to the last moment the sanguinary faction, who pronounced the death of the unfortunate monarch, manifested symptoms of fear that some attempt might be made to rescue him.
Between eight and nine o'clock in the morning, Louis proceeded from his apartments in the Temple, and got into the Mayor's carriage, who accompanied him, as did also M. Edgeworth, or de Vermon, an Irish priest, whom he requested might attend him. Louis was dressed in a brown great coat, white waistcoat, black breeches and stockings—his hair was dressed.
The procession, commanded by Mareschal Santerre, proceeded along the Boulevards, to the place de la Revolution. One hundred Gendarmes on horseback formed an advanced guard to the procession. The rear guard was composed of 100 national guards from the military school. Various reserves of cavalry lined the procession, and patrolled the out-skirts of the city.
The unfortunate monarch arrived at the foot of the scaffold at twenty minutes past ten. He mounted the scaffold with firmness and dignity—appeared desirous to address the people, but even this was denied him. Drums and trumpets gave the signal, and at twenty-two minutes past ten his head was severed from his body.
The place de la Revolution was so strongly guarded by troops, that no person was suffered to pass after

the King had entered it—those however who had previously entered, and got near enough to the scaffold, notwithstanding the indecent noise of drums and trumpets, heard him plainly pronounce these words—“Citizens, I forgive my enemies, and I die innocent!”
After his death the nearest spectators divided among them what of his hair had been cut off by the stroke of the guillotine, and several persons were so inhuman as to dip their handkerchiefs in his blood, which they afterwards carried about, crying—“Behold the blood of a tyrant!”
Louis, on mounting the scaffold, instantly took off his stock himself, as well as his great coat, and unfastened his shirt collar. His hair had been clubbed up close like an Abbess, that no indignity might be offered him, or that it should occasion no delay by hanging loose. The executioner went up to tie his arms, which the King recoiled at; but it was soon done—The executioner then took up a large pair of scissors to cut off his hair. The King appeared mortified at what was doing, and said, “I have put all right”—the executioner, however, cut the hair off.
When the executioner shewed his head to the people, cries of Vive la Nation! Vive la Republic! were heard on all sides, & several groups made use of the following expressions—“We always wished well to him, but he never wished well to us!” Many, however, shewed emotions of a different nature, but which they were obliged to conceal, as much as possible, for their own personal safety.
His body was transported to the parish church of La Magdelaine, where it was interred (without any insult being offered to it) between the persons who lost their lives during the illuminations on account of his marriage and the Swiss who fell on the 10th of August.
Louis, before his departure from the Temple, delivered to the Commissioners of the Council General, who were upon the guard, his last will, two copies of which he had written on the 25th of December last—a copy of which I hope to send you to-morrow.
Three thousand livres (1201. sterling) were found in his apartments at the Temple, which were sent to the Council General of the Commons.
The city remained quiet, in gloomy silence, through the whole of the day. In the morning the shops were shut, and no woman was allowed to be in the streets till the procession returned with the body of Louis.
L O N D O N, Jan. 26. The wretched Royal Family of France have not been removed, as was reported, neither is the daughter of the king ill, if we may believe an official paper which has been published by the Council of the Commons, which states the prisoners of the Temple as remaining there by virtue of a decree which had not been repealed.
The Princess Royal of France was educated and brought up after the English fashion; she has not the least appearance of a French woman either in person, mind or manners.
Copy of a letter from Lord Grenville to Mons. Chauvelin.
Whitehall, Jan. 24. I am charged to notify to you, Sir, that the character with which you have been invested at this court, and the function of which have been so long suspended, being now terminated, by the fatal death of his most Christian majesty, you have no more any public character here.
The King can no longer, after such an event, permit your residence here. His majesty has thought fit to order, that you should retire from this kingdom within the term of eight days; and I herewith transmit to you a copy of the order, which his majesty, in his Privy Council, has ordered to this effect.
I send you a passport for you and your suite; and I shall not fail to take all the other necessary steps, in
order that you may return to France, with all the attentions which are due to the character of minister Plenipotentiary from his most Christian majesty, which you have exercised at this court.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) GRENVILLE.
Copy of his Majesty's Message to the House of Commons, January 28.
His majesty has given directions for laying before the house of commons, copies of several papers received from M. Chauvelin, late minister plenipotentiary from the most Christian King, by his Majesty's secretary of state, and of the answers thereto, and a copy of an order made by his Majesty in council, transmitted to the said M. Chauvelin in consequence of the account of the atrocious act recently perpetrated at Paris.
In the present situation of affairs, his Majesty thinks it indispensably necessary to make a farther augmentation of his forces by sea and land, and relies on the known affection and zeal of the House of Commons to enable him to take the most effectual measures, in the present important conjuncture, for maintaining the security and rights of his own dominions, for supporting his allies, and for opposing views of aggrandizement and ambition on the part of France, which would be at all times dangerous to the general interests of Europe, but as peculiarly so when connected with the propagation of principles which lead to the violation of the most sacred duties, and are utterly subversive of the peace and order of civil society.
At Tunbridge Wells, on Friday, it was thought right to tie a figure, representing the Writer of the Rights of Man, to a cart's tail, and flog him through the town. In order to give the whipping scene a better effect, a man was concealed in the cart, who bellowed out lustily at every stroke, and well supported the characteristic obstinacy of Paine; for no smart, nor even the promise of mercy, could extort from him that ejaculation commonly used by criminals under flagellation, namely, “God save the King!” The figure was afterwards burnt, with the ceremony that has been observed in other places.
A country carpenter, who neglected the making a gibbet, which was ordered by the executioner, on the ground that he had not been paid for a former one, gave so much offence, that the next time the judge came into the district, he was sent for. “Fellow!” said his Lordship, in an angry tone, “how dare you neglect making the gibbet that was ordered on my account?”—“I ask your pardon, Sir,” said the Carpenter, “if I had known it had been for you, it should have been done immediately.”

On Monday morning, at eleven o'clock, Judge Paterfon set out from his house in Burnet-street, escorted by the Brunswick company of Light Infantry, and a large number of respectable citizens, to Capt. Hillyer's sloop, on board which he embarked with some other gentlemen for New-York, on his way to Georgia, amidst repeated testimonials of deserved respect and esteem for the man who has served his country in many high and important offices with distinguished reputation. Virtue will have its reward.
PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) March 28.
The confirmation of the account published in our last of the MURDER OF LOUIS XVI. was received in this town on Monday last, and the countenances of the inhabitants sufficiently shewed their feelings on the melancholy occasion—the bells in the houses of public worship were tolled all the evening.
NORWICH, March 28.
From the various accounts inserted in this day's publication, of the execution of the unfortunate Louis—the American public may rest assured, that the unfortunate Monarch, whose friendship for them was shewn in the most generous assistance, in perilous times, is now no more. He has fallen a sacrifice to the cause which he so greatly cherished.

Philadelphia, April 6.
Yesterday arrived here from Lisbon, the ship John Bulkeley, Capt. Wharton—Captain Wharton says that a letter had been received by Mr. Bulkeley, an eminent merchant there, before he sailed, from Mr. Fenwick the American Consul at Bourdeaux, informing him, that the French government had declared war on the 8th of February against England, Holland and Russia.
Yesterday also arrived in this port from St. Vincents and St. Eustatius, the Brig Kitty, Capt. M c Allister—The Captain gives the following interesting account—That the February packet had arrived at St. Vincents express from England, with government dispatches, having neither private letters nor newspapers on board—that he brought an account of the declaration of War on the part of France, and orders to put the Islands under martial law, which was immediately proclaimed—That Lord Hood was to sail in three days after the packet, for the Islands, with fifteen sail of the line, and a large body of troops.
The day after Capt. M c Allister left St. Vincents he stopped at St. Eustatius—A ship from Liverpool in 39 days, and another from Bourdeaux in 35 had just arrived there—from the Captains of which Capt. M c Allister received the following account—That an embargo had taken place in England the 16th February—that War had been declared by France against the King and Nobility of Great-Britain, in distinction from the people—that the Queen of France was tried the 10th Feb. and Beheaded the 12th.
A New-York paper says, that a letter from Oporto of 28th of Feb. to a gentleman in that city, mentions that the Court of Portugal declared War against France on the 26th of that month—and that an English vessel had arrived at Lisbon from Bourdeaux, having cut her cables, expecting to have been seized in port by the French.
Extract of a Letter, dated April 2, 1793, from a Merchant in Baltimore, to his Correspondent in this City.
“By the brig Ann, Captain Beard, which arrived here this morning from Lisbon, which place she left the 24th of February, we are informed that a British Packet had arrived at that port the day before he sailed, and brought the very interesting news of the French having absolutely declared war against Great-Britain.
“The Capt. is a man of veracity, and the intelligence brought by him cannot be doubted.—He further adds, that a packet had sailed two weeks previous to the one that had arrived, and it was in consequence of her delay, conjectured that she had been captured, as the French cruizers had been out, and as Capt. Beard had himself been chased by a French frigate.”
An act has passed the Legislature of this Commonwealth, empowering the Governor to incorporate a Company for the purpose of promoting the cultivation of vines.
Samuel Miles, Tench Francis, John Swanwick, Timothy Pickering and Israel Whelen, are appointed commissioners for the purposes of the incorporation. Ten Dollars on a share is to be paid at subscribing as a deposit and part payment—each person to subscribe for as many shares as they shall think proper. The Corporation may hold and possess land, in one or more parcels, for the purposes of their institution, not exceeding 1000 acres.
Fifteen per cent. per ann. is the averaged profit on well cultivated vineyards. Mr. Le Gaux's plan will, therefore, not only prove highly beneficial to the state at large, but profitable to those concerned in the business.
Mr. Ricketts opened his Circus last Wednesday, agreeable to notice—upwards of 700 persons it is said attended—his performances were much applauded.
Mr. Blanchard is making preparations for a 46th Aerial Flight. His plan is such, we understand, as to accommodate all who have a wish to encourage this bold adventurer, or to enjoy one of the most magnificent spectacles, when closely viewed, that the arts can boast of.

VOLUME VIII, OF ENCYCLOPEDIA: OR, A 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, TREATISES OR SYSTEMS:
THIS VOLUME CONTAINS AN Account of the Cape of Good Hope, Grafting, Universal Grammar, Grafters, Greece, Greenland, Guam, Guinea, Gunnery, Hapiness, Harmony, Heat, Hepatic-Air, Heraldry, Hindostan, Hippopotamus, History, New-Holland, Horse, Horsemanship, Hottentots, Hunting, Husbandry, Hydrometer, with a great variety of Biographical and Miscellaneous Articles. Embellished with sixteen Copperplates.
CONDITIONS.
 I. The work is printing on a superfine paper, and new types, (cast for the purpose) which will be occasionally renewed before they contract a worn appearance.  II. The work is furnished in boards, in volumes or half-volumes, as subscribers chuse; the price of the whole volumes, five dollars each, of the half-volumes two dollars and two-thirds of a dollar each. Ten dollars to be paid on subscribing, the volumes or half-volumes finished to be paid for when delivered, the price of one volume to be paid in advance, and the price of each succeeding volume to be paid on delivering the volume preceding it. No part of the work will be delivered unless paid for.  III. In the course of the publication will be delivered about five hundred copperplates elegantly engraved in Philadelphia: which by far exceed in number those given in any other scientific dictionary. At the close of the publication will be delivered an elegant frontispiece, the dedication, preface, and proper title pages for the different volumes. 
It is expected the work will be comprised in about eighteen volumes in quarto.
As several gentlemen who have honored this undertaking with early subscriptions, have only received a small part of the work, they are earnestly requested to complete their sets, as far as published, immediately, while the publisher still has it in his power to supply them with the parts which have not been furnished. As the subscription will very possibly be closed by the first of July next, the publisher cannot undertake to complete sets after that period; and those who wish to become possessors of this truly valuable and important work, will please apply before the expiration of that time, that they may not be disappointed.
The very heavy expense necessarily incurred in carrying on this work, makes it indispensably requisite for the publisher to adhere more strictly than he has done to the original condition, of delivering the volumes only on being paid for them.
