TONE'S DEFENCE. September 24.
This day Mr. Tone proceeded in his defence. He called as a witness his father, Peter Tone...
Q. Do you know the prisoner? and have you had any, and what intercourse with him? A. I am his father; I reared him...
Q. How old is the prisoner? A. About twenty seven years old. Q. Did the prisoner at any time leave his country to go to any other, and at what time?
Q. Why did he leave Ireland? A. Failure in his circumstances made him leave it. Q. Did you know the habits in which the prisoner lived, previous to his going abroad?
Q. What was his business? A. He was engaged in the cotton manufacturing. Q. Was he a man that at all interested himself in politics?
Q. Did you know him at any time to be a member of any political society? A. Never; nor do I believe he ever knew any thing about them. Mr. Tone called no other witness.
Mr. President, and my lords and gentlemen of the court martial—Fully relying upon the validity of the objections to the competency of this court...
Mr. President, and my lords and gentlemen of the court martial—I did not mean to say that they were a court unknown to the law; I acknowledge that it is a constitutional court...
For Sale, at the Stores of the Subscribers, on Walnut-Street Wharf, 195 casks of nails assorted. 20 bales of sail canvas, from No. 1 to 8.

it arose simply from my failure in business, and was totally unconnected with any political considerations. You have heard from the witness against me, that, previous to my going to America, I was in France. It is true that I did go to France; but at that time the war between France and these countries had not commenced; and as you have heard from the witness, I was arrested in France as a spy, and confined for nine months. Had I been a political agitator, did I entertain designs against my country, or was I accredited by any discontented party, it is impossible to suppose that I should have been thus treated, at a time when it is well known France was but too eager to excite and to receive persons of that description. From France I at length escaped and arrived in America; from whence after I had resided there for some time. I was in a sister. At Hamburg I remained until I became weary of being a burden to those whom I would rather have wished to assist. I quitted it; and will it be imputed to me as a crime, that with poverty staring me in the face, and a competence soliciting my acceptance, I accepted that competence, and did take a commission in the French service? I became a soldier; and, in obedience to my orders, embarked at Rochelle with the army which landed in Ireland. But though I embarked with that army, I most solemnly declare I was not only not consulted, but not even apprised of its object. I was too obscure to be asked for my advice, though my knowledge of both languages induced them to secure my co-operation. When in Ireland, I acted officiously in the service, or whether I did more than it was necessary I should do to avoid disgrace and death? I appeal to him, whether I acted in deprecation, planned an attack, or appeared in any way cordially and actively to promote the object of the expedition? Though I acted in the necessity as an officer, it appears from the evidence that I was decidedly adverse to the Rebels; as soon as possible I made my escape from them; assumed the appearance of a peasant, while I was in search of a Magistrate to whom I might surrender. When taken, I confessed my name and my situation, and used no artifice to conceal the truth—a circumstance which alone may tend to procure me relief, when I say that I had fled from the Rebels, because I would not join in their cause, and was seeking an opportunity of giving myself up to a Magistrate. You have now the whole of my unfortunate story: born to no inheritance, reduced in my circumstances, and destitute of support, I left my country and entered into the service of France. This is my only crime, I am no fomenter of sedition; I am no conspirator against the state. As a soldier, I was ordered upon service, and I obeyed; and in that service confined myself strictly to the inevitable duty of the station which I filled. If this shall not amount to a legal defence, I hope it will at least wipe obliquity from my name, and soften the harshness of private judgment, if it shall fail to mitigate the severity of a legal sentence."
Mr. Toye, having given in this defence, begged it might be transmitted with the other proceedings of the trial. In presenting to the Judge Advocate, he said, his wish was to prove to the court that he was no way connected, nor ever was, with the Society of United Irishmen; and that he fled from the Rebels to avoid engaging in their wicked proceedings. The court was then cleared of strangers.
September 25. "Holt, it appears by the latest accounts, is moving with a large body up towards Wexford. The daring of this marauder is beyond example. He on Sunday last sent a letter into the town of Arklow, to inform the inhabitants he would speedily be among them; and that he would not spare a single Orangeman in the town. "A party of the king's country militia were yesterday overtaken at the Black-rock, on their route from Wicklow, where they have been a long time quartered, by two of Holt's emfaries, who far drinking with them till four this morning, and endeavoring to induce them to break their oath of allegiance, by joining their brother soldiers in Holt's camp. Mr. Justice Beilive, who resides there, having received timely information on the subject, had them both apprehended, and they were this morning brought up to town under a military escort, and lodged in Kilmainham gaol. "Government, it is said, have this day received information from Cork of the appearance of a French fleet off the coast."
September 26. "The post-boy who drives the Wicklow mail, arrived in town at six this morning, with his cart empty, having met on his way a body of about 50 Rebels near Newry-bridge; says, they were all well armed, most of them having muskets, which he describes as quite bright, and appearing as if they belonged to the army. Most of the men wore uniforms. On their stopping him, they bid him prepare for death: he then threw himself on his knees, and continued praying for half an hour, whilst they were scanning the letters, &c. which, some of them observed, would be a great acquisition to Mr. Holt, in conveying him intelligence of the designs of the enemy. After they had plundered the cart, one of them proposed burning it, which the rest did not seem willing to consent to. They then permitted the boy to proceed to town, without doing him any injury. "This day Gen. Lake, accompanied by Colonel Meade arrived in town from Wicklow. "Military operations have at length commenced against the rebels in the province of Connaught. An engagement had taken place with the Rebels at Grange, near Sligo, wherein, it is said, near one hundred and fifty of these deluded men were cut off."
On Sunday last, two regiments of militia, a party of the Frazar fencibles, the Castlebar and the Tyrone yeomanry, marched from Castlebar to attack the rebels, who have yet possession of Killala, Wellport, Newport, &c. and are in very great numbers through the mountainous part of that country. The latter corps acted as guides on the occasion. A report was prevalent this evening, that this army had defeated the rebels, and recovered possession of those towns. They had 16 miles of the country to march before they entertained hopes of coming up with them. "Nine o'clock.—I have just now learnt that the rebels at Killala have suffered a total defeat from Gen. Trench, who commands in place of Gen. Hutchinson; several thousands are reported to have been put to the sword; no quarter was given, except to some of their leaders, who are reserved for a public examination. Killala, Ballina, &c. have been taken possession of by the king's troops. Several Frenchmen were taken, and the Bishop of Killala happily rescued from the hands of the rebels; his life, it is said, was spared by the interference of a French officer. Such is the report this evening, which is generally spoken of, and generally spoken of, and generally credited in all circles."
WATERFORD, September 28. Last night several express arrived here from the county of Kilkenny, and many were despatched from hence to the neighbouring portions of the army. The South Devon and two pieces of artillery marched this morning for Knockupper, in the county of Kilkenny, within fourteen miles of this; General Johnston himself took the command of the troops. These some days past bodies of insurgents have been disarming the people in the above country; but last night a body of them, well mounted and armed, entered the village of Knockupper, and disarmed the yeomanry (not in a collective body) tore their uniforms, and re-fitted themselves with arms, &c. when they departed. On the departure of the South Devon, the drums beat to arms, and the yeomanry attended and took the guard of the city. The greatest excesses continue to be committed in the county of Wexford: the loyal inhabitants are flying to the towns, and say that they would consider their lives, &c. much safer, were the country in a state of open rebellion in place of the predatory warfare which at present exists.
Remarkable affection in a Dog. At the late battle of Ballynahinch, one of the unfortunate insurgents who fell in the engagement was followed by his dog. The faithful animal for three days lay across his master's bosom, until buried; and then for many weeks constantly attended his grave, only at intervals when hunger forced him into town—When his remarkable sagacity being observed, a person took him, and by care and attention he seems to forget his unhappy master. [The above article is from a villainous jacobin print, called the Star, the mere echo of the Morning Chronicle. It is a striking specimen of the vile arts practised by the partisans of France to excite to insurrection, by appealing to their compassion, in behalf of those "unfortunate" villains, who are daily perpetrating the most horrid murders.]

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21.
The Eastern Mail arrived at a very late hour, but brings nothing new.
THE man who doubts the organization of a party in this country, to overthrow its constitution and government, and to new model both with the assistance of France, must be a creature of the doubtful gender, to say the best of him:—but he that sees the danger clearly, and is not ready to oppose it with all his force, possesses less animation of patriotism than is consistent with the character of a good citizen. If we relied on the general fame of the French Republic for activity, ambition and perfidy; if we call into review their conduct towards the government and people of this country, as well as towards all others; and especially, if we recollect their impudent threats of humbling us to their will, by the means of internal traitors, we must think it necessary to watch this vile class with vigilance, and to oppose every suspicious attempt of theirs with decision and vigor. I am far from thinking that the dangers, which lurk in this infant empire, are confined to the present day, although they now appear more obvious: No! the same restless ambition the same want of good faith, that have always been the characteristic features of the French cabinet, will continue to disturb our repose, and to exacerbate parties among us, so long as there is a rivalry between her and Great Britain;—or until there is an insuperable barrier opposed to her profligate schemes. But to combat this hydra the ordinary powers of government are hardly sufficient, without some extraordinary aid from the found, and virtuous part of the community. There are many things that ought to be done; for which there is no law provided, or funds existing, which are necessary to secure the general safety against so dangerous a foe. Few men are so profligate as to plot against their country, without some motive of private or private advantage; and there are very few indeed, who can promise themselves any real profit or gratification from a convolution or revolution in the State. But if this number, however small, are men of talents, and become the obedient engines of the enemy, they are sufficient to delude, inflame, and mislead a host of unsuspecting ignorant men. The first, therefore, ought to be closely watched; their secret caballings detected and exposed; and the last to be undeceived, and, if it is possible, to be reclaimed.
This will be laying the axe to the root of the tree. Against an united people the French will never attempt any thing. Their government is a "Committee of Universal Insurrection"; it is by treason they work; and the man who will not unite with his own government and its friends, to oppose so dangerous an enemy, is a traitor, and ought to be immediately crushed; for if there ever was any truth in the axiom, that "he that is not for us, is against us," it exists at this day. It is safer to cut off a gangrened member, than to endanger the life of the body, by its continuance.
UNITE OR DIE, was the motto of the revolution war. We remember its powerful effect at that period, and it will certainly be good policy to bring it into operation at the present crisis, when we have ten thousand times more at stake. We were then contending against a parent and brethren, from whom we had reason to expect moderate terms, if their superior strength had prevailed against us. The abject subjugation of the colonies was never contemplated, nor would it have been tolerated, even in England. But we have now to war against a cruel, and rapacious enemy, opposed to us by every principle that is inimical and repulsive; barbarians that contemplate not only the total annihilation of civil liberty, but the prostration of our sacred altars, the renunciation of our religion and our God. Unite or die is therefore at present, more than it ever was before, a maxim and a duty of indispensable obligation.
The friends of government should not only know their own strength, which I believe is great; but they should also know their enemies and their strength. They should act with regularity, union and decision; determined to support one another, and the common cause of their country and government against all possible enemies. But this will never be done without more union, and a better organization. Look at the Jacobins; fust off, as hosts do not take a lesson from them. Every where, however wilfully dispersed, their strength is concentrated; they act with the unity of instinct, as well as the industry of demons; and it is by these means, they have been able to retard and cripple every measure of national defence; although they are fewer in number, and incomparably weaker in power, than they are still able to feel the hopes, as well as to point the blows of our barbarous enemy. Let, therefore, ASSOCIATIONS be formed in every considerable City and Town of the United States (the example may be set in Philadelphia, so justly distinguished for its patriotic exertions) let committees be appointed; funds raised; presses employed; let information be disseminated at cheap rates every where; let the ignorant be instructed; the wavering confirmed; the bandit watched, in their unspies and downings; and I will offer my neck to the guillotine, if, in twelve months, after the scheme is brought into operation, they are not completely crushed.
The money and notes, taken by requisition from the Bank of Pennsylvania, amounting to the enormous sum of 164,000 dollars; the whole of which has been recovered, to within 2,000. This was almost a Gallic bug. The Porter, Cunningham, who was also a Democrat, was a man in whom, it seems, the greatest confidence had been placed—if which he availed himself to effect his villainous purposes. Finding he had got the Fever (with which he was seized the day after the robbery) Davis went to him, and thinking it unsafe to have so great a quantity of money, in so mysterious a situation, proposed to take it all home with him, which was done: Davis, having thus gotten the whole into his possession, bethought him how he might dispose of it; and began to make large deposits in the different Banks. Coming, one day, to the Bank of Pennsylvania, with a considerable sum, and being known to some persons in
the bank, as a man whose visible means were insignificant, strong suspicions naturally arose, and an enquiry was immediately made at the other banks, where it appeared he had made deposits to the amount of 17,000 dollars. Means were instantly taken to examine him, and after much ado, he confessed—refusing, however, to acknowledge a large quantity of gold, which was in the end discovered upon him, untouched. He had purchased a carriage and pair of horses which he delivered up. Cunningham died four days after the robbery. The horrid trials with which the Democrats of America daily advance in depravity, through the influence on their minds of those detestable principles of France, which inculcate that all property is common, and that to hold wealth is aristocratical; and that there are no future rewards or punishments, if not suddenly and severely checked, root up all the foundations of society.—We regret, therefore that the villain has escaped the hands of justice. It is hoped that these terrible instances, added to hundreds which have heretofore occurred, of the danger of trusting men of democratic principles, will operate in future as a caution to all public bodies as well as individuals.

We are well assured that Nathaniel Potter, one of the porters of the Bank of Pennsylvania, who died of the late fever, was not concerned in the robbery of the Bank.

Those Printers who have published an account of the discovery of the robbery are requested to publish the above.
MR. FENNO, ALTHOUGH I have heard much said about the beginning of the Nineteenth Century, I never supposed a reasonable doubt subsisted in the mind of any person when that period would arrive, and I acknowledge myself much surprised to hear a gentleman of education, abilities and candor, advocate an opinion different from mine. From this circumstance I am led to propose the following questions and answer them agreeably to my own ideas of the matter. How many years make a century? Suppose one hundred—can the second century commence before the first is completed? we suppose not—The question then is when was the first century or hundred years completed? But not having been much acquainted with centuries, and finding a mathematical proportion between them and months, I substituted the word month in the place of century, when a similar position at once occurred to my mind. Moses my son a few days ago was a little before one o'clock in the morning of the first day of the present month of November. He is my first child. I wish to know when he will enter his second month. N. B. As it is a matter of much anxiety to the parent he will have an answer. Nov. 17, 1798.
"MR. FENNO, "In your paper of yesterday, I observe you have copied from a Gazette called the Aurora, an advertisement for a private meeting of the United Irishmen of Philadelphia, on the 23d inst., with what is called their Rising Parole and Counterfig, printed thus, in capitals. CODROMAGHT SAORSEUGHT. The mystical meaning of which may be found by any anagrammatist, to be applicable to any close meeting in the dark, in any large city, where their rising might commence by night. The Parole is Room ahoo! Counterfig, This dagger cuts. It was originally intended for Dublin;—where most of the United Irishmen were armed with Daggers only, owing to the difficulty of concealing their pikes and muskets from the general search by government,—but this is the first time I have met with it in this country. A loyal Irishman."

A CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC. JOHN A.

To prevent further imposition, I have to request the printers of Newspapers in the United States to publish this for the benefit of their fellow-citizens.
