NATIONAL CONVENTION.
10 Germinal, March 30. Barrere announced, that the commit- tee of public safety was engaged in the purification of the constituted authorities. Citizen Gasteau, he next stated, had just received the appointment of National Agent of Paris, in the stead of Lullier, who had been put under arrest. In the municipality, Chaumette, Hebert, and Real, had been succeeded by Citizens Payen, Moaine, and Lubin. The com- mittee had apprehended four members of the Girondists; and had deprived several others of their functions, replacing them by members of the commune, distinguish- ed by their attachment to the National Representation. Barrere concluded by observing that the committee of the secti- on of Marat, denounced by the public voice, had been in the same way regene- rated.
Barrere next considered the actual state of Paris; and observed that it never con- tained so many miscreants and traitors as at present. All the villains of Europe seemed to have made it their rendezvous; but they were every where watched, and never did the inhabitants of that city, the mother and guardian of Liberty, shew themselves more devoted to the National Representation, and more inimical to trai- tors. Soon would it be impossible for any enemy of Liberty to remain there with impunity; and the very air of Paris would be fatally infectious to all the sup- porters of tyrants. The Revolutionary Tribunal continued to sit on the accomp- lices of the confederacy, and would, in a few days, send several of the criminals to the scaffold.
This conspiracy, resumed Barrere, was connected with religious disturbances; to excite which an effort was made to destroy every moral principle, and to in- culcate atheistical doctrines, through the extravagant enterprizes of Clootz, Chaum- ette, Hebert, &c. against the liberty of worship. The committee is employed in an extensive plan of regeneration, the re- sult of which will be at once to banish im- morality and prejudices, superstition and atheism; and to found the Republic on good principles and morals.
This report of Barrere was followed by a decree, approving of the measures of the Committee.
The Minister of Marine, announced a great number of prizes, three of which were English ships laden with wine, &c. & had been carried into Brest on the 24th. Three others had on the same day been carried into Rochefort, and were bound from England to Bilboa, with cargoes of oil, meal, salt-fish, rice, sugar, cocoa, &c. A vessel bound to Rome, had been carried into Villa Franca in the country of Nice.

At a circuit court, under the authority of the United States of America, held in this town, the 12th instant—present Judg- es Iredell and Bee.
Bills of indictment were preferred a- gainst Col. Stephen Drayton and Capt. John Hamilton, for entering into the ser- vice of the French Republic, and at- tempting to engage the Citizens of the United States, to enter into the said ser- vice. The grand jury returned a true bill against the former, and no bill against the latter.

THE relations of Mr. Thomas Curtis, formerly of Ellicott's Upper Mills, and lately of the City of Washington, deceased, are desired to apply and have his affairs set- tled. City of Washington, April 22, 1764. M. 5

I am surprised Mr. Fenno, that a paper, intended as you profess your's to be, for the information of the citizens of the United States, should have been so long deficient in defining terms made use of in all the papers in the country, to which we have no meaning annexed that we can depend on.—The terms Democrat and Democracy — Aristocrat and Aristocracy . for instance, have been bandied about with odium annexed to each by different parties, who have endeavored to gain the ears and credit of the citizens; you have certainly been deficient in your duty as a public advertiser, in not informing your customers wherein consists the difference of these hard words; and lest you should continue thus negligent I send you what I can collect from my small reading on the subject.
Democracy , is derived from two Greek words, Demos , signifying the people at large ; and Cratia , signifying Government ; hence Democratia , or as we write it, democracy , signifies a government exercised by the whole people.— Aristocracy in like manner, is derived from two Greek words, Aristos , signifying the best ; and Cratia , government as above; hence Aristocracy is a government exercised by the best men among the people. This was the case among the ancients; when in the middle ages, the rich and the nobles, by their wealth and power, acquired an influence over the operations of government, assumed the names of the best , and exercised feudal tyranny. Aristocrats were odious to the commonality, and the nobles became objects of terror and detestation: from their excess in the abuse of power, arose democracy . When the number of the whole community was so moderate as to admit of their meeting together and taking the affairs of their nation into their consideration, there was certainly the best form of government; but the happiness resulting from thus combining the wisdom of a whole community soon encreased it by natural population or the accession of foreigners, so much as to render the meeting of the whole people expensive, troublesome, and in some instances dangerous. Hence naturally arose the idea of a Representative Republic, which is in fact a Democracy , because the whole people elect their representatives to express their will in the different departments of government; but it ought always to be an Aristocracy , where the will of the people is well exercised; because they ought to elect their best men to serve them in the highest offices of state—and we trust this has been the case in the United States:—For we see a WASHINGTON thus elected unanimously by the whole people, at the head of the Executive;—an ADAMS his second, and at the head of the Senate; Senators and Members of the Representative branch, among whom it would be improper to make distinctions, because we suppose that the will of the whole people constitutionally exercised, has selected the best men within their knowledge, in whom to vest the high and sovereign powers of the United States:—If this be the case, and certainly it ought to be such, we have no right to deny that the United States are governed by an Aristocracy , that is by the best men , selected in the different election districts, by the governed , and representing their will in all things which shall come before the executive and legislative departments; under this idea, well understood , our rulers ought not to be terrified with the popular clamor of Aristocrats and Aristocracy ; for if ever a people were under such a government, the United States certainly claim the pre-eminence of a Real Aristocracy ; that is, a government by the best men among them , separated from the people only because of their better fitness to fulfill the duties imposed on them by their appointments.
But what shall we say of the people, who styling themselves Democrats are attempting to leap into the saddle, and of their own choice to usurp the powers not delegated to them by the whole people? Mr. Fenno, I do not chuse to answer this question at present, I shall reserve some of my sentiments on this subject to a future paper, but I will just hint, that I think them the true and odious Aristocrats , from the following characteristic marks:
1st. They chose themselves in the beginning, and did not originate from the people at large, as all legal governments ought to do.
2d. They will not suffer the people , or any part of them to send representatives amongst them; one of their fundamental rules being, that a great majority of their good selves shall be necessary to the induction of every member.
Having never corresponded with you before, I am yet to learn what reception you will give to my first attempt; I shall hereafter judge of the propriety of sending you some further observations on political subjects.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
BRUSSELS, April 13.
Our generals, as well as those of the enemy, appear to have waited the presence of the Emperor, to begin their operations.
The French, under the command of general Pichegru, continue to form a vast camp near Cambray. All their forces are collected in that point with the utmost activity, and they have taken the greater part of the garrisons, excepting only those which are most strongly threatened by the allies. Re-inforcements are hourly arriving at Cambray, from every part of France, amongst the latter, has been a body of cavalry, to the amount of 200 men, consisting of a regiment of carabineers, of the hussars of Chamborant, and a corps of chasseurs.
As to the grand combined army, under the prince of Cobourg, it is still concentrated beyond Valenciennes and Quesnoy. The greater part of the forces in the province of Tournay are marching with the utmost diligence to that quarter; these circumstances cause it to be believed that a general and decisive action may daily be expected.
On the 6th inst. a large body of the Conventional troops, advanced from Lille, to reconnoitre our positions between the town and Tournay. They advanced to Baissenna, within two leagues of the latter place, and a conflict ensued, in which the dragoons of Latour greatly distinguished themselves. The French, however, accomplished their object, and retired in good order.
April 15.
His majesty the emperor and king quitted this city yesterday morning to repair to the army. During his short stay here he gave the people the most affecting proofs of his love, receiving the petitions of the lowest of his subjects, and walked amongst them in the Park and other places, unattended by any guards. His majesty paid frequent visits to the hospitals, especially the military ones, to see that the soldiers were properly attended to, and visiting every bed, consoling the invalid warriors for their respective misfortunes. In fine, he conducted himself in such a manner as to gain universal love, and his departure has occasioned the deepest regret.
MANHEIM, April 8.
We learn that the lines drawn by the French at Germersheim are entirely finished, together with the entrenchments which they are raising on the heights from Newstadt to Weissenbourg. At Spire they have destroyed all the buildings belonging to the clergy, and mean to destroy the cathedral, the top of which has already been pulled down.
VIENNA, April 2.
A kind of Jacobin Club having been held in this city, the members of it have been tried and are now undergoing their punishment. These reformers have been for the most part sentenced to a public whipping, and a year's imprisonment, at the end of which time they are to be banished. Some priests are suspected of being concerned with the Club.
VALENCIENNES, April 14.
"This day arrived here his imperial majesty the emperor, and was received with the most unequivocal demonstrations of loyalty and love. The whole town is to be illuminated to night, and resounds every where with the loudest acclamations of "long live Francis II." our dearly beloved Sovereign." To-morrow if the weather permits, the emperor is to review that part of the army which is already encamped; and next Thursday or Friday our operations will begin.
"The Carmagnols are encamped between Landrecy and Guise, between 80 and 100,000 men strong. As our grand army is superior to theirs not only in every military accomplishment, but also (which
has never yet been the case) in numbers; we entertain the most confident hopes, that unless the Republicans should think proper to avoid a battle, one of the compleat-est victories must crown the attack, which in all probability before the end of this week will be made against them."
PARIS, April 13.
Letters from Strasbourg, read in the Jacobin Club, speak of an advantage obtained over the enemy in the territory of Deux Ponts, by which the Republic had acquired cattle, warlike stores, and 800 gold medals with the effigy of Capet.—The vigorous measures of Gen. Dieche, made the Aristocrats and Banditti on the other side the Rhine tremble. There was every prospect of a fruitful harvest.
LONDON, April 14—19.
The Lords having adjourned on the last day the Slave trade bill was to have come on, without making any order respecting that business, it of course drops unless some Peer shall formally move its revival.
The accounts brought by yesterday's mails are not decisive respecting the operations of the Prussian troops, but only confirm their having received orders from Berlin to halt until further notice.
There is not the least appearance of any negotiation on the tapis for a peace at present.
Since the Polish General Kosciusco's entrance into Cracaw, he has taken an inventory of the gold and silver in the churches and royal castles; his revolutionary tribunal consists of 14 members; since then the Constitution of the 1st of May, 1791, has been solemnly acknowledged by oath in the church of Marienborn; the procession went there attended by military music.
The Universal, published from this quarter enjoins the highest respect for the Austrian territory; and though the Polish reformers have seized some Imperial magazines; they have sent a very civil message to the Austrian commandants, assuring them of an ample indemnification; they are said to be furnished with money from France.
The revolutionary spirit has spread into several other parts of the Republic; where many of the disbanded regiments have risen in arms. The Castellan Rmiciewsky, was tried by the Revolutionary Tribunal at Cracaw, and hanged in the market-place on the same day.
Bodies of Russians and Prussians, to the amount of 25,000, men being on their march to Cracaw, where the malcontents have not above 6 or 7000 men badly provided with artillery, their dispersion was daily expected. Several notes have passed between the Permanent Council, and the Prussian Minister, on the subject of disturbances, and a Court is opened to try offenders as fast as they are apprehended.
There is a gentleman in town who was formerly Secretary to General Washington, and left Paris no longer ago than the 11th inst. He was witness to the execution of Danton, and the other conspirators, and says, there was no kind of tumult during the ceremony. Paris is now tolerably well supplied with provisions; and it appears, that the fleet of vessels which lately caused an alarm for the safety of Jersey was only a very large fleet of coaling vessels, carrying provisions for the supply of Paris. About 10,000 cavalry set out on their march from Paris on the 9th instant to reinforce the Northern army.
However obnoxious Dr. Priestley's political and religious tenets may be, Government has shown so little resentment upon account of them, and so much respect for his talents as a Philosopher, that we are assured, Lord Hawkesbury has granted a protection to the ship in which the Doctor sails, in case she should meet with any of the Algerine corsairs.
The King of Prussia, to save himself from the further censure of every ingenuous mind, has transferred M. de la Fayette and M. de Maubourg to an Austrian dungeon; and for this act he justifies himself by saying, that they were originally the prisoners of the Emperor; M. de Lameth and M. de Pully are still in Prussia, but whether closely confined or remaining an account of their health being demolished, we cannot say.
A Congress of all the Italian States is opened at Milan, to concert measures for the common defence; all the deputies
had arrived except the Neapolitan Minister; their object is the raising an army of 40,000 men; Venice refuses to join this coalition, and Parma will not grant any contribution towards the war.
The Polish Brigade of Madaliniski, has escaped the clutches of the Russians, and forced its way into the Prussian territory, for the purpose of serving there. The Russian Carabineers arrived too late to cut off their retreat.
We have great reason to doubt the truth of the report of the French fleet, being at sea; as none of our cruisers have seen or heard of any such circumstance.
On account of some extraordinary naval preparation now making at Dunkirk, the following fleet has been assembled in the Downs, to be ready for any emergency.
   Guns.     Leopard, 50 Admiral Peyton.   Thunder, 74 Capt. Bertie.   Arrogant, 74 Capt. Whitshed.   Pallas, 36 Capt. Bentick.   Aurora, 32 Capt. Effingham.   Daphne, 20 Capt. Sotheby.   Serpent, 16 Capt. Lee.   Forrest, 14 Capt. Nowall.   Falcon, 14 Capt. Basset.   Amphitrite armed ship 20, Capt. Bowyer.  
The Echo, Nicol, from Jamaica to New-York is lost in the Gu'ph of Florida.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Session of the 26th Germinal, (15 April.)
Barrere. Since the last victories of the Republic over the tyrants, we have felt the importance of the conquest of Oneiglia, a port in the Mediterranean, from whence the tyrant of Sardinia interrupted our trade and insulted our navy.
Great many obstacles were to be overcome in order to arrive at Oneiglia. It was necessary to pass through the territory of Genoa. Here they opposed us with diplomatic arguments. But this webb of lies and cunning has to disappear before the eternal rights of nations, and before the imperious wants of liberty.
The committee have done their duty in passing a resolution on the 19th Ventose, with respect to the conquest of Oneiglia, the plan of the march of the army of Italy was formed and the execution entrusted to the firmness of those representatives who had led the troops to the recapture of Toulon.
Previous to their march they issued a proclamation worthy of the French people and of the National Convention, and gave thereby to our politics the character of the majesty of the people, and of its impartial and inflexible justice.
The following they write us from Oneiglia on the 10th Germinal (April 8.) The Republic lives upon victories: you may announce to her the capture of Oneiglia, the principal communication of the Sardinian tyrant with Sardinia: the Republicans have performed this with that courage and energy which makes all Europe tremble: The blood of the soldiers of liberty has been spared: We had not one killed; and only a few slightly wounded. The artillery had not time to send their thunder upon the Brigands of Oneiglia; but they have done wonders of courage and ability in dragging their cannon on almost inaccessible mountains.
Italy shall inform Europe of the virtues as well as of the valour of the armies of the Republic: We were obliged for a short time to occupy part of the territory of Genoa: it belongs to the people who inhabit it to make known to the world the sublime conduct of the French Republicans: they will tell you, that the defenders of their country, fatigued, and desirous of resting themselves, did not dare

to spoil the green herbage which invited them to sit down; they will tell you, that marching under orange trees, and suffering an extreme thirst, the soldiers respected even the leaf of this tree; they will tell you, that some of them having inadvertently laid down on some leaves which they took to be useless, offered to pay for them as soon as they were informed by the proprietor of their value.
The Piedmontese tyrant certainly passes very bad nights, and prepares to emigrate from his kingdom, which is much curtailed. We shall end to you a statement of the effects found in Oneglia. We found 12 pieces of cannon which the enemy had not had time to spike.
The general of division, Mouret, who commanded the column on the right of the troops of the Republic in the expedition against Oneglia, writes under the same date, that he had got possession thereof on the preceding evening, April 7.
It is thus, added Barrere, that the injury done to the French commerce is repaired: and that our ports of Nice and Ville Franche will enjoy greater tranquillity; the subsidized inclosure of the Court of Turin is at an end, and the glorious prospect of a brilliant campaign opens upon the arms of the Republic.
Besides these successes on the Mediterranean, others have been obtained on the Ocean. The marine of the Republic continues to keep the commerce of the English, Dutch and Spaniards in a state of arrestation. The Minister of the marine has just now informed us, that the said three nations have lost 21 vessels, six whereof were burnt, three wrecked on our coasts, one foundered, and eleven have been brought into our ports.
Levasseur, observed that the army of Italy had religiously executed the decree of the Convention, which makes morality and justice the order of the day; he therefore moved that it should be declared that it had well deserved of their country.
Robespierre seconded the motion, persuaded that the Convention having ordered such declarations to be made for the sake of victories, would be more eager to make it for the sake of virtue.
PHILADELPHIA,
JUNE 11.
From a Correspondent.
Mr. Monroe's apologist, in yesterday's General Advertiser, makes this distinction and the only distinction between the case of Mr. J. and that of Mr. M. to consist in this, that the former continues to hold his office of Chief Justice, whereas the latter has resigned his seat as Senator.
But this distinction can only apply to a period subsequent to their respective appointments, and does not derogate from the force of the strictures on M's inconsistencies; the incompatibility, if any, subsisted in both cases with equal validity at the time of appointment. Mr. M. objected to Mr. J's appointment, as being then Chief Justice; Was not Mr. M. Senator when he was appointed Minister?
How does the apologist labor to extricate his friend from the dilemma to which he has been reduced? Why, by the following curious observation, "The objection to Mr. J. in the Senate upon the ground of the constitution was probably made in the belief or intimation of his friends that he meant not to resign his judicial office." Ought a member of such a dignified body as the Senate of the United States, to act merely on probabilities and intimations? Did Mr. J. himself declare previously to his appointment, that he would not resign his Chief Justiceship? Could he, before his appointment declare it? Would not such a declaration have been inconsistent with the manliness of his character? Would it not have been construed into a solicitation for an embassy, which it is well known he accepted with great reluctance, and from a patriotic sense of duty to his country at a momentous and critical juncture?
The objection, says the apologist, on the ground of the constitution arose from a probability and an intimation. Was it Mr. M's practice to make constitutional objections on such flimsy foundations? But the following reasoning is conclusive, and I defy Mr. M. and a host of apologists to get over it.
Either the objection, on the ground of the constitution as it is called, applied to the period when Mr. J. was nominated, or to a period, subsequent to his appointment.
If to the former, then the objection on the score of constitutional incompatibility, was as valid against Mr. M. as Mr. J. If the objection applies to the period subsequent to his appointment and there exists a constitutional incompatibility, then Mr. J. must be deemed no longer Chief Justice, for his acceptance of the office of Minister vacates his office as Chief Justice.
Now I leave Mr. M's apologist to make his election; if he applies the constitutional objection to the former, it invalidates his own appointment; if to the latter, then all the idle clamor about Mr. J. is ridiculous—and Mr. M. and his friends must resort to new grounds of attack on his appointment.

VIENNA, March 29.
All the travellers who come from Turkey represent that country as greatly in want of corn, which will be no small embarrassment to the carrying on of a war with Russia, and it is hoped, notwithstanding the preparations making at Belgrade; and elsewhere, that a rupture will be avoided. Our Court, however, in order to be prepared against all events, are reinforcing the frontier garrisons, and repairing all the fortresses towards Semlin. The same accounts from Constantinople add, that the people continually shew their discontent in their usual way, by setting fire to the town in different places. On the 24th of February the large magazine of corn was nearly in flames, but that calamity was happily prevented. The Janissaries have daily quarrels with the Asiatic troops, of whom there are 40,000 in Constantinople, learning the new tactics; in these quarrels there is generally blood spilt.

It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable,
speaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced. The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the map of several of the states. He requests a conti nuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens, as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking. The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage. waft
