The Norfolk Mail STAGE.
THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk. A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at 8 o'clock, at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day. The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 80 miles less than on any stage route between those places. Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, so good a road in America.

Monroe, Mullenburgh and Venable, on the subject of the documents aforesaid, and a series of letters from James Reynolds and his wife to Mr. Hamilton, proving beyond the possibility of a doubt, that the connection between him and Reynolds, was the result of a daring conspiracy on the part of the latter and his associates to extort money.

In Carbon for Slitting, Plating, and Rolling MILLS. SEYMOUR'S Patent Rollers.

These patent rollers are cast in iron moulds, previously heated, and will be found to be more dense, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. Another important advantage they have over others, is, that the necks require no turning, but are immediately fit for use, and from their accuracy, run with less friction, and require less water to make them perform their work.

WHEREAS sundry infringements have lately been made on the laws of this state for the preventing pehillian or infectious diseases, either from ignorance or inattention thereto, it is tho't expedient at this time to publish the following extracts from the laws of 22d April, 1794, 7th and 8th sections. HEALTH OFFICE. June 6th, 1794. Extract of an act for securing the city and port of Philadelphia from the introduction of pestilential and contagious diseases. Sect. 7. And be it further enacted, that every master or captain of any ship or vessel coming from sea (vessels actually employed in the coasting trade excepted) and bound to any port or place within the jurisdiction of Pennsylvania, shall cause his ship or vessel to be brought to anchor, or otherwise stay in the stream of the river Delaware, opposite to the Health Office on State-Island aforesaid, and there to remain until he shall have duly obtained a certificate or bill of health from the Resident Physician. And if, previously to obtaining such certificate or bill of health, any master or captain shall enter his ship or vessel to approach nearer than the said Health Office to the city of Philadelphia, or shall land, cause or suffer to be landed, or brought on shore, at any place or port within this Commonwealth, or at any other port or place, with the intent of being conveyed into this Commonwealth, any person or persons, or any goods, wares or merchandise, or, after receiving such bill of health or certificate, he shall neglect or refuse to deliver the same to the Health Officer, such master or captain shall forfeit one thousand dollars, the same to be paid to the said Health Officer, or to any person appointed by him, for the use of the said Health Office, and after he has concluded such examination, or in case any subsequent examination by the Health Officer or Consulting Physician, agreeably to the directions of this act, the master or captain shall expose or cause to be exposed to the search of the Resident Physician, or of the Health Officer and Consulting Physician, (as the case may be) each and every part of the ship or vessel, and shall present to his view each and every person or persons on board thereof, and shall also true and satisfactory answers make to all such questions as the Resident Physician, &c. at the time of examination shall ask relative to the health of any port or place from which the ship or vessel failed, or has since touched at—the number of persons on board when the ship or vessel entered on her voyage—the number of persons on board since been landed or taken on board, and where respectively—what persons on board if they have been during the voyage, or shall, at the time of examination, be infected with any pestilential or contagious disease—and what is the present state and condition of the persons on board with respect to their health or disease. And if any master or captain shall refuse to expose as aforesaid, or to the search of any of the officers aforesaid, or if he shall conceal any person, or in any other manner deceive the proper officers aforesaid in his answer, such captain or master, for every such such offence, shall forfeit and pay the sum of five hundred dollars. Sect. 8. And if any person or persons whatsoever (the Resident Physician, &c. excepted) shall go on board any vessel, before the master thereof has received a certificate of health in the manner directed, every person so offending, shall pay the sum of one hundred dollars. IT being absolutely necessary that the foregoing sections should be punctiliously complied with, the subscriber, in compliance with his duty, must exact a rigorous observance of the same, or else be under the necessity of putting the laws in force.

THE TYRANT OF DEMOCRATS
It has become proverbial every where: but it is in America that it has dared to break forth with peculiar virulence and malignity. Not content with persecuting patriotism, virtue, and every species of orthodoxy, in every shape, it is here that it has, with the most abandoned malevolence, organized itself into a regular corps for purposes of persecution; and it is here that whoever at any time can muster up hardihood enough to walk uprightly, must previously fortify himself against all the most desperate assaults from batteries manned by the united force of the whole horde of ruffian-looking democrats.
In this course they have but too long, and it must be confessed, but too successfully persevered. The time is come when an united effort of all friends to rational liberty to crush this formidable hydra, is loudly called for by every tie which allies the mind of man to possessions, without which life is of no estimation.
In pursuit of this abominable and most abandoned career, every principle of honor and every tie that ever has been held sacred, have been sacrificed and set at nought. Distinguished merit, the most distinguished and most disinterested services, instead of being a protection, have served as signal-marks for the direction of their attacks—and in the general chase, good qualities themselves have been alike hunted down with their possessors.
But, when a brother has chanced to be glanced at, in repelling with the weapons of self-defence, their malignant and assassinating assaults, the whole nest of vipers is instantly set in motion, and "prosecute him, break him up, cut him in pieces," is the general cry. Tyranny, thy name is Jacobinism.
Francis I. of France, became the scandal of Christendom, for concluding an alliance with Solyman, the Magnificent, Emperor of the Turks. But the butchering fans-culottes who have murdered his descendants, can fraternize with the bearded disciples of Mahomet, without suffering the slightest imputation. For, in fact, such is the reverse of things, the shame and disgrace now lies wholly on the side of the Turk. The Turks are in truth pretty expert murderers; but their skill is seldom exercised out of the small way—such as lopping off the grand vizier's head on the lots of a battle, and so forth. They have hitherto suffered murder—But if the ruthless Gaul is once let in amongst them, they will be taught higher lessons even than that of Ismailow.
From the NEW-YORK GAZETTE.
CONCLUSION OF THE HISTORY OF THE CONSPIRACY OF LOUIS PHILIPPE JOSEPH D'ORLEANS, surnamed EGALITE, page 229 of vol. Third;—Translated for this Gazette.
If there is a spectacle worthy of being profoundly meditated, it is that which empires offer at the moment of their fall. These great bodies have not, any more than individuals the privileges of immortality. All here below is subject to change—to dissolution—to death; the Deity alone is unchangeable. One nation is born, grows up, raises itself to a great height, then falls and perishes: this is the circle, traced by the finger of the Almighty to societies of men. Among the multitude of nations who have by turns covered this globe, there are some, whose names even are swallowed up by time.
But it is impossible to the legislator to preserve his institutions from the ravages of time, it is out of the power of the masters of the world, to give to the great family whose preservation is confided to them, a high degree of fortune, to give it even the duration of the world. There are in effect remedies for all diseases of the body-politic; it is a regimen which, in increasing its strength, in nourishing its health, prolongs its life, and in finding it out, confides solely the art of governing.
To find out this regimen, we must have all examining history, study her lessons, enrich ourselves by the experience of past ages, draw wisdom from the errors of generations which have passed away; and in contemplating those horrid causes which break the social ties, learn to preserve the people from the convulsions of anarchy. It is in this respect that history, according to the expression of Cicero, is the light of truth and the rule of life.
"We are going to read the causes which have destroyed a monarchy, which fourteen ages had fixed on a basis that was thought immovable. This phenomenon happened in a short space of time, from a train of events the most interesting, and which have succeeded each other with such rapidity that the eye cannot without difficulty follow them. Shall the picture of these events be left to posterity? Is the history of the late disorders of France only a vague theory of government which every one may censure or approve? Are the truths which it presents, only abstract political maxims, which the statesman is forced to abandon because they have for foundation the human passions, which vary eternally? No, it is a generation calling around herself all generations, and by a sincere avowal of her errors and her crimes, points out to them the path they ought to take, not to lose themselves in the abyss of anarchy. To make this voice heard, I have no need of giving up myself to my senses—to abound in reasonings. Principles discover themselves easily when facts speak, and on the scenes which I have written, all rest on facts. The actors who have appeared on the Theatre, have pulled off their masks; we can read the most secret thoughts of their souls; we can follow with the eye all the windings of their hearts. On this Theatre man appears not as he is painted by writers of romance, by poets and by philosophers, but as he shows himself naked and unfigured, where his weakness is deprived of the double support of laws, human and divine. What more proper to reveal to his mind what he owes to his fellow-creatures, to his fellow-citizens, to the master of the universe, than the shameful image of this nakedness? What course of morality is more estimable than a faithful recital, where all the illusions on the true interests of societies, of their chiefs, of their members, are dissipated, where we may see every species of passion afloat, act without constraint—overturn the strongest barriers—break down objects in appearance insurmountable.
"You, who read this history, in whatever age heaven has given, or may give you birth, forget not that he who wrote it, was a witness of the events therein recited; he was the contemporary of those men, who, some through wickedness, others through imprudence, engendered or precipitated those events; he lived with some of the workmen of the dissolution of the finest empire of Europe; he read their consciences as easily as he did his own; he knows all the poisoned sources from whence flowed so many scourges. It was on the wreck of this unhappy country, in the midst of carnage, of blood and of dead bodies, in the noise of the groans of innocence, and of the hideous roarings of executioners, that he sketched these pages. He is ignorant of the epoch when he may be permitted to publish them, terror still chills our souls, and the name only of this liberty of the press, which a lying philosopher so long complained against, only to appropriate it to himself, frightens anew those whom it is very necessary to enlighten. The time when this book was written, is a sufficient proof of its authenticity."
"If the author of this work has escaped so many dangers, if he has outlived so many victims, the price of so miraculous a preservation, shall not be a cowardly abandonment of principles, the return of which in France can alone indemnify her for her innumerable losses. He protests then, that in devoting himself to write the history of the crimes of Orleans and his accomplices, he had no other view, no other ambition, than to convince men of every age and of every country, that we ought (as is justly said by a great politician) to regard as infamous and detestable those who destroy religion, who overturn kingdoms and republics, who make war against virtue against letters, and against all those useful acts, which reflect honor on the human race. These are the true enemies of mankind; these are the innovators against whom, all polished societies should league, and keep themselves incessantly on their guard. Without this firmness, without this vigilance, there is no tranquility for Empires, there is no security for private property."
REMARKS.
These last lines in italics, how true! how admirable! how justly applicable to our American innovators, "exclusive patriots" and Jacobins! Yes, my countrymen, we should take an instructive lesson from unhappy France, where a handful of unnumbered violent friends to liberty—a few rabies in free's clutches, have deluged one of the best countries in Europe with blood, rapine, and civil discord, and appropriating to themselves the property of those they murdered, have left the great body of the poor, ignorant people of France, not even the means of gaining a subsistence by labor—nor the consolations which despair and misery draw from the hopes of happiness hereafter—the institutions of industry and religion having been buried with almost every other vestige of civilization, in the tomb dug for them by the apostles of insurrection, anarchy and infidelity. Whoever reads our Jacobin prints, will find them discovering the greatest untruths, appearing to be under strong fears, least the truths should be told, which have taken place in France during the revolution. But, my glowing philanthropists, appear they must, will, and ought! Yes, those horrid truths are daily become known—they will serve as a beacon to the present and future generations to avoid that ghastly rend revolution, under the specious form of innovation, which, when the misery produced by it in France, becomes well known, nations will then as a self enemy to human happiness. Are not the designs of our unsearchable glories, in wishing to prevent the publicity of the horrors, which have been committed in France by their bullets for liberty—their "exclusive patriots"—their Jacobins?
You cannot, VIRTUOUS PATRIOT AS ERICSON, be ignorant of their wicked schemes in wishing to cloak their hideous idol Anarchy, in that very act of benevolence, in order to invite all the nations of the earth to embrace her: 'Tis I hope that France will continue to tell us, as she does every day by new publications, that the embraces of anarchy are Death—that her touch is
Murder. I wish to give my fellow citizens a proper assurance of certain measures, attached to necessary innovations in the established order of things; sensible, that we have much more to fear from anarchy than despotism, I shall uniformly oppose that whole, insidious approaches and deceitful appearance make him more easily dangerous. Our Jacobin papers blame me for publishing extracts from French publications on the Revolution, but, "mindful of their grin, I will stir on, convinced, that all-ruling destiny will either change their rage to awe, or blast their powers to the deepest root." The friends and abettors of frequent revolutions may rank French writers (of whom I am strongly inclined to think there are none or we should certainly have heard of them) in favor of the revolution and the monsters by whom it has been conducted; for my part, as in general I am an enemy to revolutions, especially in this country, I shall continue to dress out CITIZEN ANARCHY, TWIN BROTHER OF CITIZEN REVOLUTION, IN EVERY BLOODY, FRIGHTFUL AND DIVERSIFIED GARB AFOOTED BY THE MODERN WARD ROSE OF FRANCE, IN HOPES OF DETERRING MY FELLOW-CITIZENS FROM THE FRATERNAL, OR RATHER INFERNAL HUG OF THIS FOE TO HUMAN-NATURE!
Late Foreign Intelligence.
VIENNA, July 26.
On the 24th instant, about nine in the morning, the marquis de Gallo arrived here, and immediately after repaired to Engendorf where he had a long conference with the emperor. On his return to this city, he went to the minister of state, baron Thugut, with whom he had another long conference. It was remarked that neither the marquis nor the persons about the court had very pleasant countenances. The negotiations for peace in Italy meet with great difficulties in their further progress.
The French require that Mantua shall be united with the Cisalpine republic, though it was stipulated in the preliminaries, that the city should be restored to Austria. On the part of the French, it is said, on the other hand, that the emperor having given his consent to the establishment of a new Republic in Italy, its very existence depended on having Mantua for a frontier fortress; the Emperor, therefore, must tacitly accede to the cession of Mantua, for which he receives a sufficient indemnification in Iliria and Dalmatia.
As these and many other difficulties have arisen and the House of Austria cannot be expected easily to abandon its great interests in Italy we are not without our fears, that hostilities may again recommence.
His Imperial majesty intends going about the end of the month to Stein, where he will review the army of the Hungarian levy.
As there is no danger of hostilities on the Bohemian frontiers, the emperor has ordered that the fourteen battalions of reserve in that kingdom shall march immediately for the army in Italy.
General Mack, who has been sent with strong reinforcements to the Italian Army, is already arrived at Gortz.
On the 15th inst. the first Dalmatian ship, of 8 guns, sailed from Zara, under the Austrian flag.
MILAN, July 18.
Since the Cisalpine republic has been proclaimed, the Government at Florence has taken every precaution against the partisans of revolutionary principles. The Grand Duke has raised a body of 12,000 men, who will be sent to the frontiers of the neighbourhood democratized Provinces; and it is said that the Tuscan towns on the side of Modena and Bologna will be more strongly fortified.
At Genoa the Doge has renounced his former title, and is now only called citizen president of the Provisional Government. The public is no longer styled the republic of Genoa, but the Ligurian Republic; Liguria being the ancient name of the country. The archbishop likewise has already introduced the appellation of Ligurian republic into the liturgy.
JULY 22.
Buonaparte is still here, and it is supposed will not go to Udine, as we had a report that the peace was finally concluded there on the 14th by general Clarke; but the truth of this is greatly doubted. (And with reason, as the Vienna gazette of the 26th of July makes no mention of it.—Note of Hamburg Editor.)
The province of Romagna was on the 12th united to the Cisalpine republic, on the motion of citizen Belmonti of Rimini.
Another conspiracy has been discovered at Rome, which was to have been carried into execution in the night between the 8th and the 9th instant. Two of the conspirators were promised indemnity on condition of making discoveries. Many persons have in consequence been arrested.
ITALY, July 22.
The King of Naples has established magazines on the frontiers of the Papal territory for an army of 50,000 men.
The brother of General Buonaparte is soon expected as French Envoy at Rome. The health of the pope mends daily.
It is believed that a part of the French Italian army will soon march for France. General Massena, it is said, will in a short time go to Paris. A great part of the troops at Milan have left that city. The frontier towns of Piedmont, Tortona, Cuneo and Alessandria, have been placed by the French on a war establishment.—Mantua and Palma Nuova, which lie on the other side of the Cisalpine republic, have likewise been more strongly fortified. At Brescia, all the artillery has been carried away but the Austrians have not yet entered the town. The bank of Venice now pay again as before.
FRANKFORT, July 29.
It is reported here, that the troops of the French Saare and Moselle army on the other
side of the Rhine, have received orders, in consequence of the present circumstances of France, to break up in five days, and form a camp behind the Meuse; according to others, they will immediately march for the interior of France. A party of the army of the Rhine will take the position of these troops.
SWITZERLAND, July 29.
The passage of the French troops through the Valais has been unanimously refused to general Buonaparte by the Swiss, on the ground that it might give the occasion to similar demands in future which must be detrimental to the confederacy. Zurich has addressed a justificatory memorial to the directory on this subject.
PARIS, August 12.
Some of our prophets have been mistaken. The Fete of the 10th of August was very gay and splendid, and the greatest order prevailed throughout. The races were admirably managed, and the concourse of people drawn together at the Champ de Mars was immense.
We have already announced the arrival of citizen Vicomte of Milan, as minister plenipotentiary from the Cisalpine republic to that of France. In consequence, citizen Soprani, who, on the entry of the French army into Italy, was sent by the people of Lombardy to treat with the Directory relative to their being formed into a republic, is preparing to quit France. He has been named in his own country, member of the council of elders.
An address of the invalids to the army of Italy appears in the Journal des Hommes Libres. It begins thus:
"We too comrades, have been struck with the truth of the picture which you have drawn of the present situation of the republic."
"What! (have we cried) so many great and generous sacrifices! What! five years of the most glorious victories, of the most rapid success, and the most honorable triumphs, have still left them some hopes of giving us a master. Friends! it is but too true, and we shudder at it: the government has been vilified. Even within the walls of the legislative body, the emigrant, unpunished rekindles the sparks of civil war, and supported by the impostor and rebellious priest, shakes around him the torch of fanaticism. The defenders of the country, the old patriots, and founders of the republic, are driven from their homes, proscribed, degraded and massacred. The generous friend of his country, who took up arms for the defence of property, now infirm and mutilated, pines in the most frightful indifference without the means of existence, without pay, and crushed by the insolent luxury of the unpunished stock-jobber. The purchaser of national lands is looked upon as an usurper, the sacred principles of liberty and equality called robbery; the philosopher, and whoever is not a catholic, marked out as impious and an atheist; the name of citizen even become an affront; in short, from the North to the South of France every thing presents a distressing spectacle of a desolated country."
It concludes thus—"Our brave brethren of the north, Italy, the Rhine, Sambre and Meuse, rely upon us. Comrades! we have still strength and blood enough, and more courage than is necessary, to humble these cowardly supporters of tyranny. Should they dare to take up arms in order to execute their plans . . . Nor shall it be said that 600,000 soldiers, the conquerors of all Europe, joined to their friends and relations, and forming the purest mass of the French people, have expressed an ineffectual vow to live free or to die."
(Signed by more than 3000 invalids.) The following letter has been sent to the editor of the Sentinelle, from Leborgne, deputy for St. Domingo to the legislative body.
Bayonne, Aug. 5.
"To escape from the English, and get out of the prison, are two pleasures I have often experienced; but now I feel them in a more lively manner, as I am drawing near my family and friends. In short, four of us have arrived this day from St. Domingo, being the deputies of that colony to the legislative body. Vergniaud, cousin-german, to the great and good Vergniaud, is of the number. His zeal and moderation will remind you of the virtues of his illustrious relation. We have left St. Domingo in a happy situation, and nevertheless capable of improvement. I can give you no details on that subject, but must defer them to my arrival at Paris.—The courier is setting out."
THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY.
Celebration of the Tenth of August.
The following is the speech of Carnot, President of the Directory:
"Frenchmen, "On this day, five years ago, the thunder fell upon the throne. Its splendor was extinguished, its foundations shattered and annihilated. But a single lustre has elapsed since this great epoch; yet, such has been the rapid succession of events, that already we are separated from it by ages."
"During this short interval, what memorable events have crowded after each other! what triumphs! what tragic scenes! what combinations of sublimity, and of weakness! how many prejudices overthrown! what great talents have been cut off! what efforts combined to destroy infant liberty! how many billows broken against the national will! how many base arts employed to extinguish the republic! how many vipers crushed in her giant arms!"
"Woe be to those who should conceive the idea of re-establishing the throne! What absurdity to believe that those who crushed it to ashes, will labour for its re-establishment—that the founders of the republic, forgetting their glory, and plunging themselves into the mire, will become the vile instruments of a licentious faction, which will consign them to the collected rage of those who wish to tear them in pieces!"
"Where is the man among you, citizens, who, if not actively co-operated in the overthrow of monarchy, has not decidedly proclaimed within his own circle the impracticable rights of the people? Where is the man who can submit to bargain with kings; who, having vanquished them in the meridian of their power, will humble himself before them when they are conquered?"
"No, Frenchmen! you will not forget what it has cost you to be free—you will not risk the same catastrophes, or consequences still more dreadful, again to be slaves."
"Ah! should the abyss into which the madmen who consider the return of royalty as an object of sport, endeavour to plunge you. Have they reflected upon the punishment which is prepared as their reward?—Do they know how much blood would be required to quench the thirst of the barbarous masters whom they recall—what harrowing forfeitures would be necessary to satisfy their avarice—what degree of oppression would be sufficient to render them secure from the dread of a new effort of the people—what cares would appear to them adequate to extinguish the last sparks of that philosophy to which they ascribe the first impulse of the French to liberty?"
"They would persuade you, that it is easy to substitute the hereditary government to the constitutional system; and they never speak either of the deadly war which the just resistance of the desperate republicans would produce in a thousand quarters, or of the difficulty of re-establishing that inequality of conditions and those feudal institutions which constitute the basis of monarchy, or the difficulty of wresting the national property from the hands of those who have acquired it under the sanction of the laws, or of the sanguinary contest which would arise between the competitors. Who, does not see that a whole age would hardly finish the single dispute between the Dynasties contending for the crown? Who, does not see that a king could be delivered from his disquietudes when he had shed the last drop of the blood of Frenchmen? Should you have filled any employment in the republic, you would be proscribed. Had you flown to the frontiers to defend it, you would be proscribed. Did you possess any talent, you would be proscribed. Should you have purchased a national estate, you would be proscribed—you and your children. Yes! you would all perish, except those immersed in absolute ignorance, who would be referred to cultivate the soil of their lord, under the iron rod."
"To obtain your pardon from the new tyrant, in vain would you produce the proof of some base services secretly performed in favour of the monarchy, and of your treachery towards the republic: you would die with greater ignominy. Your personal enemies would soon discover crimes to lay to your charge—others would be eager to denounce you in order to save themselves.—Such, at every time, and in every country has been the cruel policy of exiled kings, who, by means of baseness and hypocrisy, have succeeded, themselves or their descendants, in recovering the throne. Can you hope that you would experience them less revengeful or more humane?"
"Yes! we swear by the sacred deposit which the constitution has for a limited time entrusted to our care, every attempt to overthrow the republic shall be in vain; and those who endeavour to accomplish this purpose of iniquity, shall meet that death which they prepared for the republicans. The chief magistrates of the republic may differ in opinion as to some of the means by which its stability is to be promoted, but they will ever be found united in its defence."
"They will do more, and will exert themselves daily to love it better. They know that war is the weapon of despots; that love and confidence alone are the instruments of popular governments."
"Agitation will cease, when men cease to disquiet themselves by the apprehensions of royalty—others by the menaces and threats of anarchy. Peace will be realized when the enemies of the republic shall be convinced, that they will find no point of support among us—when each of us shall be thoroughly satisfied that the happiness of the people consists in the extinction of all parties—that they are desirous to establish tranquility—that they are tired of being the dupes of the passions, and the vain promises of the factions, by whom they have been alternately misled. The people compare their situation to what it was twenty months ago; they feel how much it is improved; they feel that it will be still farther ameliorated, when the ideas, which have been almost entirely absorbed, which, to say no worse, are unreasonably, are at length exclusively applied to the means of internal prosperity and political economy. From this they conclude that the constitution, which dispenses such benefits, is good, and become wife by their own sufferings, they respect the government which they have chosen: they despise, they hate those who would lead them to tear their vitals with their own hands."
"Cease then, Frenchmen, to pursue Chimera. Let this day, the forerunner of that day on which the republic was founded, dissipate vain alarms! Feel, as you behold its splendor, that you are under the same banners—that you defend a common cause—that none of you have any mercy to expect from those who tyranny you have overthrown. Do not resign yourselves to discord, when you have only to enjoy the fruits of your labors and the greatness of your destiny."
This speech was heard with the most profound attention, and followed with universal shouts of Vive la Republique.
COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
23 Thermidor, Aug. 10.
At two o'clock the president addressed the council as follows:
"The cannon of the tenth of August will resound through future ages. It crush-

to ashes an ancient throne, and the feeble constitution on which it was built. It opened new destinies to France: it was the prelude to that long train of memorable events, which seemed to have compressed whole ages within the circle of a few years. Overlooking the history of the passions, the prejudices, and the intrigues which are no more, it is an object worthy of your attention, upon the anniversary of this celebrated epoch, to cultivate reflections without bitterness, to derive from it lessons useful to every Frenchman. Escaped, as it were, by a miracle, from the revolutionary agitation, it is time when those who hear me ought for ever to renounce prejudices, to extinguish animosities, to sacrifice, without regret, upon the altar of their country, the oppositions of their minds, and the restreignments of their hearts. You who, upon the 10th of August, wished for the establishment of a republic, your desires ought to be satisfied. The republic exists here, surrounded with the laurels of victory, and purified from the horrors of anarchy.
Friends of justice and of order, you who demand a vigorous and protecting government, your wishes shall be accomplished. This government exists; it will every day be more truly consolidated, adorned with the gayest colours of liberty. Imprudent men, who dared in the frantic hopes of ideal improvements, to aim a sacrilegious blow at the only safeguard of the public tranquility, the anniversary of the Tenth of August is more eloquent than I can be. It is that day which calls aloud to you. Dread a second of September, a thirty first of May, and the execrable reign of another Robespierre. It is to this point that the factions tend; it is at this price, that, under different names, and under opposite banners, the triumphant party would give us a new revolution. Ah! never, never—it never had any other source than the imaginations and the writings of our calumniators; the infernal project which could not be conceived, which could not be promoted, which could not be executed within these walls, but by the utmost frenzy of guilt. In order to calm chimeraical alarms with regard to the purity of your conduct and of your intentions, it will be sufficient, I imagine, to display your attitude and your system, in opposition to the united attack of the abuse and the intrigues of which you are the objects. Continue, Representatives of the People, to cover yourselves with the triple shield of justice, of moderation, and of firmness. Guilt is awake; it exerts every effort; it thirsts for battle and for bloodshed.
History will say, The National Representatives did not seek a fratricidal victory. After the long tempests it had encountered, it sought for internal peace; its efforts were successful. Perfidiously misrepresenting your opinions and your designs, guilt endeavours to mislead the defenders of their country, and to turn the arms of liberty against Liberty herself. History will say, the true sentiments of the army were known to the national representation: French republicans could not forget their duty as soldiers, and their interest as citizens; they were enlightened by wise laws, and the hopes of guilt were confounded.
The external enemies of France smile at the spectacle of our divisions, and perhaps with dexterity add fuel to the flames of discord.
Let it be our study that history may record of us what the recorded of ancient Rome: let foreign governments learn and know, that the divisions among us cease when the honour and the rights of our country are concerned. It is thus, representatives of the people, that you will give an answer to the calumnies of malevolence; that you will secure the internal tranquility which the wishes and the wants of the people equally demand; that you will at last attain that general peace to which you are accused of being hostile, when it has never ceased to be the object of your vows and the end of your exertions. These ideas led me, in concluding, to the subject of this address. Upon the tenth of August, 1792, a throne, which had subsisted fourteen centuries fell to the ground. Happy France, in the anniversary of this memorable epoch displayed sincere conciliation for the interest of our country, and shewed to Europe the different authorities of the republic governing in concert by justice and by confidence!
The printing of this speech was called for from every part, and was decreed to the number of six copies for each member.
LONDON, August 16. Government received yesterday a dispatch from Paris, announcing the fact we laid before our readers, of a treaty of peace having been concluded between the French republic and the court of Lisbon; and early this morning, Mr. Brooks, the messenger, arrived with dispatches from Lord Malmesbury, respecting the same event, and the effect it has had on the state of the negotiations at Lisle. No communication is allowed between the vessel that brought over Mr. Brooks and the people on shore.
It is impossible to convey any adequate idea of the effect produced upon the public mind by the intelligence of this treaty having been concluded without the interference of our cabinet, and in opposition to its views—it indicated a feeling of national degradation truly humiliating. The funds, of course, experienced a considerable fall: the three per cents left off yesterday at 50 3/4, and opened this morning at 50 1/2.
It is vain to speak of the ingratitude of this last of our allies, as we have spoken of the ingratitude of all who have previously deserted us. Self-preservation is the first law of nations as well as of individuals, and this act of the court of Portugal is a proof that England is no longer capable of giving protection to her friends. It is a bitter cup—but we must drink it. We have courted the rod, and we must submit to the chastisement.
The extracts which we have given from
the French papers, are of considerable importance. They open a scene of contention, the result of which it is impossible to anticipate. The directory has at length given its answer to the message of the councils; in which, though it explains with candour the suspicious circumstances of the event of the march of the troops, it addresses the assembly in language so significant and unequivocal on their late proceedings, that instead of the compromise which was expected from the prudence, if not from the patriotism of the two sides, it is a provocation to hostility on the question at issue between them. The debate in the council of five hundred shews the impression the answer made on the legislature.
What the result of this conflict will be, we again say it is not easy to conjecture. The directory, invested with all the executive power of the immense territory of the republic—with all her armies cordially attached to its sway—with all the attractive charms of an incessant career of aggrandizement, in which a single week is never suffered to pass without adding some new kingdom to the empire, either by conquest or treaty, or breaking off from the league of their enemies some important power—with the recommendation of having procured abundance, and restored luxury to Paris—with all the force of the country obedient to its command, and the multitude indifferent to its acts—and opposed to a legislature broken into factions in which the very virtues of the good have been surprised into an alliance with the passions of the wicked, certainly stands fair for triumph in the contest; but on the other side it is to be considered that opinion, transitory in all climates, is peculiarly so in France; and how long the people and armies shall continue firm against the battery of the press, the skill, intrigue, and force of which were never exerted with more variety, nor more cunning of attack in any age than now in the republic, it is impossible to say. At no period of the revolution has the crisis been more interesting, nor presented more curiosity to the accurate observer. It shall be our task to watch the progress with the most vigilant care, and to state the occurrences with the most rigid impartiality.
The stocks yesterday felt a depression of 1 1/2 per cent. The quantity of exchequer bills thrown into the market by the Goldsmiths, Antrobus, &c. together with the very unfavorable appearance of the negotiation, are said to have been the causes of this fall.
Should Lord Malmesbury return unsuccessful from his present mission, parliament will be convened almost immediately, for the purpose of voting twenty-five millions sterling more, for the continuance of the war. This accounts for the new power of convening parliament at so short a notice. Formerly the public money was modestly drawn for by ministers at a few days grace; now it is done more sweepingly by bills at sight.
The Hamburg mail due on Wednesday last arrived this morning. By the extracts we have given from the foreign journals brought by this conveyance, it will be seen that the subjects of his Sicilian majesty begin to manifest some revolutionary symptoms. The king has given orders for establishing a very considerable military force on the frontiers of the Pope's territory.
The French government, it appears, is determined not to give up Mantua to the emperor. To this determination his Imperial majesty is not inclined to yield. Thus a definitive treaty of peace between these two powers is not likely soon to take place.
Bonaparte's brother goes to Rome, as envoy from the French republic.
The bank of Venice has got the last of that of England, and now pays its notes in cash. The Paris journals which we received yesterday by express, whilst our contemporaries were wholly unable to convey any intelligence of consequence to their readers, were certainly the most important papers that have lately been received from France. It is not possible to express the effect that the news of a peace between the republic and Portugal had on the public mind. The inability and miserable politics of our administration, and the very critical situation in which all the continental powers, is now, we believe, become evident to some of those men who have hitherto thought proper to support the present ministers.
Mr. Brooks, the messenger, arrived this morning at the secretary of state's office, with dispatches from Lord Malmesbury at Lisle.
We have no reason to believe that there is any prospect of a speedy peace. On the contrary, we should not be surprised at hearing of a renewal of hostilities.
The Dutch, it seems, insist on a restitution of their colonies; and the French government is determined to support their republican ally.
What the terms of the peace between France and Portugal are, we do not yet know. Our readers will see, by the official message of the Directory, given in yesterday's paper, that the conditions are not yet announced. We cannot however hope that they are favorable to our interests. We know that some time ago the conferences were broken off, because the conditions demanded by the French were inordinate. The Portuguese minister, however, after consulting his court, returned to Paris; and though the present circumstances of things may have made the directory abate from some of their pretensions, we fear that the surrender of the Brazils or of Cayenne, may be substantial articles of the treaty, or perhaps they may have directed a more immediate blow against the commerce and revenue of England, and that the ports of Portugal itself against our trade.
After taking the kingdom of Portugal under our special protection—after sending thither an army, and one of our most fully celebrated generals, while its coast was guarded by our most favorite admiral—after refusing passports for a commission to treat of a separate peace, and making it a fine question of negotiation that we should figure as for the feeble and oppressed Queen, as it was the fashion to call our ally—her faithful majesty sent a minister to Paris there to humble herself before the triumphant directory, and accept of the conditions that they might be graciously pleased to yield her! To what a point of humiliation has our cabinet brought us!
The Paris papers which arrived yesterday contain the following article:
"Fresh letters from Cadiz and Madrid confirm the intelligence of the English having been forced to raise the blockade of Cadiz; that they had cut their cables, and been obliged to retreat in great disorder; and that the Spanish squadron, consisting of twenty sail of the line, had got out and put forth in pursuit of them. It is added, that confidence had revived at Cadiz; and it was hoped, that before 15 days should expire, public credit would revive, and commerce begin again with activity."
By this day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, October 3.
[Translation.]
THE ARMED FORCE OF FRANCE. The armed force of the republic is instituted to defend the state against enemies from without, and to insure within the maintenance of order, and the execution of the laws; it is entirely submissive and obedient, has no will of its own, and cannot deliberate. The armed force is distinguished into a national sedentary guard (or a guard confined to certain limits) and into a national guard in activity.
The National Sedentary Guard—is composed of all the citizens and sons of citizens in a condition to bear arms. Its organization and discipline is the same throughout the republic, and are determined by law. The distinction of grades and subordination, take place only relatively to the service, and during its existence.
The National Guard, in Activity—is composed of the naval and land forces, maintained at the expense of the republic, even in time of peace, and is formed by voluntary enrollments, or in any other manner the law shall determine: they have a particular organization and discipline.
No part of the national sedentary guard, nor of the national guard in activity, can act in the service of the interior of the republic, but on the requisition in writing of the civil authority, according to the forms prescribed by law.
The executive directory cannot order or suffer to be performed, any body of troops within the distance of 12 measured leagues from the commune, where the legislature holds its sessions, unless by the formal requisition or permission of the legislative body.
It appears by the news published, that the negotiations at Lisle had been suspended for twelve days, but resumed with vigor, and peace expected to result.
Though it is a well ascertained fact, that this city is at present more healthy than it has been known to be for ten years back—a fact ascertained by information from the best sources—yet it appears that the tongue of rumour and misrepresentation has been busy, in propagating a tale that the Yellow Fever exists among us; That we have terrois—persons of weak nerves—of easy credulity—who believe every silly report and exaggerate in relating it—is true—and from such thoughtless alarmists we must expect stories of this sort—but any person who will be at the trouble of enquiring, will be undeceived on this interesting subject—and convinced of the fallacy of all the silly rumours of the day.—Our intercourse with infected places by water is well regulated—and if instances of persons, arriving from such places and taken sick here do occur—they are extremely rare, and infection is never communicated—a decided proof that New-York is radically healthy; and from the extreme vigilance exhibited by those more immediately concerned in our protection, we cherish a hope, that we shall continue to be exempted the calamity which now prevails in several sea ports.
A schooner was seized at Boston on Wednesday last by a Custom-House officers, for a breach of the laws of the Revenue. She had on board 50 casks Sugar, entered in her Manifest as Rice—she is from N. Carolina.
ALBANY, September 29.
On Tuesday last, his Excellency Gov. Jay, and family arrived in this city—His Excellency has taken his residence at the house of Mr. J. Caldwell, situate in State-street.
The Commissioners appointed to hold a Treaty with the Indian Tribes to the 6 Nations, as mentioned in a late paper, to wit, Gen. Shepard, of Massachusetts, Col. Wadsworth, of Connecticut, and Mr. Bayard, of New-York, having met the Indians in council, at the Big Tree, on the Genesee-river, and effected the object of their commission, which we learn was the extinguishment of the Indian title to a large tract of country within the Massachusetts preemption—returned through this city, the present week, on the way to their respective homes.
Particulars we have not obtained. It is said, the consideration for which the Indians have relinquished their title to the above tract is 100,000 dollars; and that it is stipulated this money shall be placed under the direction of the President to the United States, and the interest annually paid to the said Tribes.
Report says, the Fever is making its appearance at New York; and that Dr. Rush has fell a victim to it at Philadelphia—We most sincerely hope the report is without foundation.

FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES.
The whole number of votes in New-Hampshire for a Member of Congress, vice Mr. Smith, resigned, were 6322. Peleg Sprague, Esq. had 2739. Woodbury Langdon, Esq. 1423. Edward S. Livermore, Esq. 1349. 3161, being necessary to make a choice, it will be observed there has been none. Mr. Sprague wanted but 422 votes of obtaining his election; and it is probable, assisted by the votes of the friends of Mr. Livermore, he will ultimately be the representative.

To the Freemen, Electors of the city of Philadelphia.
Gentlemen, Though fully sensible of the honor conferred on me by twice chusing me a member of the common council, yet as, if re-elected, my professional engagements would not permit a proper attention to the duties of that station, I request that I may not be voted for at the ensuing election. I am, with great respect, your fellow-citizen, WALTER FRANKLIN. October 2, 1797.
A fire broke out last night in one of the rooms of a house in Zachary's Court, Walnut street. The general alacrity in hastening to the fire, prevented it, after considerable exertions, from spreading further than the room where it originated.
To alleviate the anxiety of those absent citizens, who may be apprehensive from the deserted state of the city, that there might be a want of assistance in case of fire, we take pleasure in mentioning that an ample number of citizens attended on this occasion, and that there was no want of buckets.

From the (N. Y.) Argus.
Yesterday the Chevalier d'Yrujo returned to this city from his tour to the eastern states. We are happy to learn that the Chevalier was received with the utmost respect, and treated with the utmost politeness and hospitality by all ranks of people, at Boston, at Portsmouth, and at every town he visited. [Thus far the Argus.]
REMARKS.
What monitor to the honor and interests of his country wrote the above? Had the tale of the cordial reception by the people of Boston and Portsmouth been true, would it not have been better to conceal than to proclaim their anti-patriotic infamy? To give a cordial reception to a man who has insulted our government, freely established by ourselves to support our honor and maintain our interests!—To look with a friendly eye on the man who, in my opinion, wishes to separate the people from their government—with a view (in conjunction with our now mutual beloved allies) of swallowing up both government and people!—To receive with open arms the representative of a nation, who, only three years ago, when it did not insult, plunder nor threaten us with devastation, our "exclusive patriots," thro' their PATRIOTIC organs, Bache, Greenleaf and Co. shewed a furious, tiger-like will to destroy with the out-stretched arm of democratic vengeance!—O Greenleaf! how much longer will you continue to brave public indignation by daily insulting the most sacred patriotic feelings of your fellow-creatures? I will not say, fellow-citizens—you have no country except France—you have atrociously calumniated the characters of our patriotic eastern brethren in saying that the ambassador of a nation who with pleasure watches our national ruin, was well received among them—That he was received, I will not deny—but by whom, I need not inform those who have been witnesses of the worthies who, with bended knee, welcomed the arrival of Genet, Monroe, &c. and other "patriots." We all know, and in time of necessity the foes of United States will feel, that our enlightened, virtuous, and patriotic eastern brethren will form an impenetrable phalanx—an impenetrable bulwark to the enemies of the honor and independence of our country.—In the awful crisis which awaits us, let all Jacobins, Anarchists, Gallic Americans among us stand clear—Remember, you have justified the use of the guillotine towards the internal enemies of a foreign country—but I hope we will be content to send off the least incorrigible of you to your foreign allies when our country is invaded by them—the Public Safety will tell us (as circumstances may arise) what to do with the more hardened and furious.

PEALE'S MUSEUM.
THIS valuable repository of the works of Nature, so well calculated to delight the mind and enlarge the understanding, is opened daily, as usual. It stands in an airy and healthy situation, and free from the epidemic that at present afflicts the city; it may, therefore, be frequented with the greatest safety. As an Amusement, the study of Nature is the most rational and pleasing: as a Science, the most sublime and instructive. It elevates the mind and expands the heart. They who Nature's works can charm, with God himself Hold enough. Many interesting additions have lately been made to this Museum: and the feathered tribe, containing a variety of the most rare and beautiful subjects, is now very advantageously arranged. Waxen Figures, of Men large as life (some of them casts from nature) are here dressed in their proper habits, and placed in attitudes characteristic of their respective nations. Here may be seen the North-American Savage, and the Savage of South-America—a laboring Chinese, and the Chinese Gentleman—the footy African, and the Kamtchatdalen—with some Natives of the South Sea Islands. The immense variety and interesting diversity which this Museum offers to the view, may be seen but cannot be described with full effect. Price only 1-4th of a dollar. Sept. 28. raw

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Scrappensburg and Sunbury STAGES. THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subs- isted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the sub- ject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching him- self to any other person in the prosecution of the stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippen- sburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Witmer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, at- tention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the pub- lic can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippenburg. The fare is hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sun- bury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers desirous for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mon- day.

TO BE SOLD, And possession given immediately. A LARGE two story brick House, handsomely situated in Princeton. There are four rooms and a large entry on each floor, and five rooms in the garret, a range of back buildings 51 feet in length, and a piazza of 57 feet. There is a pump in the yard, an excellent kitchen garden, at the farther end of which are a carriage house and two stables, one of which is new, 44 feet long, with falls in the two stables for 27 horses. The health- iness and pleasantness of its situation, and the number of genteel and agreeable families in and near the town, render it a desirable retreat for a gentleman from the city. The common house of the house, its central position, and the largeness of the tables, make it every way suitable for a tavern, for which it has always been considered as a capital stand.

From the Otego Herald. CAUTION. WHEREAS a combination of men in this county have undertaken to enrich them- selves, by fabricating titles to sundry valuable tracts of land, the property of gentlemen living in New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which tracts of land large sums of money have been paid to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers. It is therefore just that public information should be given, to the end, that the injured may seek redress while the men have property, and are to be found. Those who have been discovered are Truman Harrison, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re- side in the county of Saratoga; Thomas Kelly and several others who go under fictitious names. It is supposed that the lands offered for sale on those fab- ricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand dollars. Such as we have actual knowledge of are as follows: Lots No. 11 and 12, Otego patent, thousand acres each, the actual property of William Dellwyn, now of London; lots No. 58 and 64, same patent, thousand acres each, the property of Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill and others, of this State. There is some ground to suppose that the lands of Richard Wells and Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their management. The Printers will do well to give this a place in their papers, as well to caution the public against purchasing those lands, as also to de- prive those men in future from imposing on indivi- duals, which their education and address have en- abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been a shopkeeper of some note in this country. The following affidavits will fit a clear point of view the wickedness of those men, which when the public have perused, will induce them to ex- clude the interference of WM. COOPER. Otego, July 28th, 1797. I Thomas Kelly of the County of Otego, hav- ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and Truman Harrison, of the same County, to sign a deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otego patent, which was the property of William F. Franklin now Mr. Chaumont's and others; and further the said Joseph and Truman did persuade me to do this against my inclination, which was made out on the 10th day of November, 1793, or for back two years to come to bring it to that time; and further the name of Pardon Starks to that deed was a fictitious name, there being no such person there. To this I make voluntary oath. 19th July, 1797. On the 19th July, 1797, came personally before me, Thomas Kelly, the subscriber to the above affi- davit, and made solemn oath that it contains nothing but the truth. ELIJAH PHINNEY, Justice of the Peace. On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob Kibbey, a person by me well known and worthy of good credit, who on his solemn oath did say, that two of the parties above mentioned did make ap- plication to him this deponent, some time in the winter of 1796, to make them a deed for two thou- sand acres of land in the Otego patent, and pro- mised this deponent a share of the profits, on the sale of said lands, for his so doing; and that they made application several times for the same purpose, which services this deponent as often refused, de- claring to them that he had no right to lands, and could do no such thing; which daring attempt on this deponent's integrity he had related among his friends several times, previous to making this affi- davit. Sworn before me. ELIJAH PHINNEY, Justice of the Peace. Aug. 3. sawtf.

Higgins' Specific FOR THE PREVENTION AND CURB OF THE YELLOW FEVER. EVER since this disease made such ravages in this city and New-York, the author has turned his attention to its causes and cure.—The result of his enquiries has convinced him that the reason why so few persons recover from its attacks, are from its not being well understood, and the consequent wrong method taken to cure it. He is persuaded that the excitable bleedings and mercurial treatment of the Faculty is highly injurious, and that the only rational mode of treatment is by the use of proper acids. Convinced of this he offers his Specific as a certain remedy, if used according to the directions. To be had in bottles, at one dollar each, of the inventor Geo.
