The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9. for the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
TO THE PUBLIC.
Continued from Monday's Gazette. Dr. Currie in his "Information respecting Dr. Rush's conduct" &c. proceeds in the following manner:—
"Those acquainted with the causes and laws of contagion thought him insane."
"At other times he promised a removal of the infectious effluvia, with which he asserted the whole atmosphere was loaded, as soon as a heavy rain should fall. An opinion as groundless as any that ever was generated in a whimsical brain."
The following extract from a letter written by Mr. Clarkson, then mayor of the city, to the mayor of the city of New-York, is a proof that Dr. Rush was not mistaken in his prediction of the effects of rain in checking the fever of 1793.
"The refreshing rain which fell the day before yesterday, though light, and the cool weather which hath succeeded, appear to have given a check to the prevalence of the disorder; of this we have satisfactory proof; as well in the decrease of the funerals, as in the applications for removal to the hospital."
There was no risk in this prediction. Instances of the similar effects of rain upon bilious fevers are to be met with in many of the writers upon epidemics. Even Dr. Currie has subscribed to it, as the following extract from his history of the diseases of the United States will shew—See p. 105.—
"Fewer diseases prevail in Autumn, when the ground is frequently refreshed by showers, and the ponds are replenished with water, than in dry ones." We also see the same idea held out in page 54. of his 2d pamphlet on the Synochus Heteroides—"Nor does it (says he, meaning this fever) arise in its effect with the miasmata, which arise from putrifying substances, or from a marshy soil in any one circumstance, except being extinguished by cold and frost, and perhaps rainy weather." In a late letter also to Dr. Latimer, he has asserted the same. It appears from these quotations, that Dr. Currie's brain is not only subliminal, but versatile too, and that in a very high degree.
The next charge against Dr. Rush by Dr. C. is as follows.
"In speaking of his exploits in a letter addressed to Dr. Rodgers, dated October 3d, after accusing most of the physicians of the city of ignorance and obstinacy, he adds, "by means of the remedies before mentioned, I think I have been the unworthy instrument in the hands of a kind Providence of recovering more than 99 out of a 100 of my patients before my late indisposition from the want of bleeding and purging. Since the 10th of September, I have found bleeding in addition to the mercurial purges necessary in 19 cases out of 20. At first I found the loss of 10 or 12 ounces sufficient to subdue the pulse, but I have been obliged gradually as the season advanced to encrease the quantity to 60, 70 and 80 ounces."
"So much was the doctor about this period possessed with the notion that he was the only man of common sense existing, that he not only refused to consult with any but his former pupils who submitted to obey his dictates, that he rudely intruded his advice upon other people's patients; he also appointed two illiterate negro men and sent them into all the alleys and bye-places in the city, with orders to bleed and give his sweating purges as he empirically called them, to all they should find sick without regard to age, sex or constitution. And bloody and dirty work they made among the poor miserable creatures that fell in their way."
As a reply to this refusal to consult with Dr. C. and the other physicians who gave bark and wine in the yellow fever, I beg leave to give Dr. R's own reasons for it, in his own words—(from p. 359. of his Essay on the yellow fever.)—"One thing in my conduct towards these gentlemen may require justification; and that is, my refusing to consult with them. A mahometan and a jew might as well attempt to worship the Supreme Being in the same temple, and through the medium of the same ceremonies, as two physicians of opposite principles and practice, attempt to confer about the life of the same patient. What is done in consequence of such negotiations (for they are not consultations) is the ineffectual result of neutralised opinions; and wherever they take place, would be considered as the effect of a criminal compact between physicians, to assist the property of their patients, by a shameful prostitution of the dictates of their consciences. Besides I early discovered that it was impossible for me by any reasonings, to change the practice of some of my brethren. Humanity was therefore on the side of leaving them to themselves."
Dr. Currie's charge against the two worthy black men, Absalom Jones and Richard Allen, is fully refuted by their great success in curing the fever after most of the physicians were confined by it. It is true, these men like Dr. C. had not the advantage of a regular university education; but like the Dr. they were capable of following the instructions of Dr. Rush. The treatment of the disease by depleting remedies was simple and intelligible to common capacities. Hundreds cured themselves by means of bleeding and purging, who could not have the benefit of being attended by a physician.
Let us next see how much truth there is in the following assertions.
"The contemplation of his own self-created consequence, the hurry of business, the novelty and solemn aspect of the surrounding scenes, had certainly a very extraordinary effect upon his imagination and impaired his judgment."
"I knew several that he terrified into chilly fits, some into relapses, and some into convulsions, by stopping them in the street and declaring they had the fever—You've got it! you've got it! was his usual salutation upon seeing any one with a pale countenance. I have been assured that he pronounced to Dr. Glentworth, that he would be a dead man if he would not submit to more bleeding, after he had reduced him almost to death's door by the violence of his remedies." Two other physicians being called in, thought otherwise, and the Doctor recovered without any more loss of the vital fluid, notwithstanding this alarming and positive prognostication.
"His pronouncing Mr. Michael Connor to be infected with the yellow fever, when just recovered from the ague and fever, occasioned a relapse—The same gentleman ascribes the loss of his amiable daughter to the drastic operation of his mercurial purges."
"When applied to by Mr. Chancellor to visit a patient with Dr. Hodge, he advised him to dismiss Dr. H. for he was a bark and wine Doctor, and would do him more harm than good."
"Why has not Dr. C. given one instance of this "extraordinary effect upon his (Dr. Rush's) imagination" and of the impaired state of his judgment? He undoubtedly would have done it had it been in his power."
As to the assertion of "you've got it! you've got it! I remark, that after the 10th of September, Dr. Rush believed, and events proved him to be right, that we had no other disease in the city but the yellow fever; it was of the greatest consequence to inculcate this opinion, as it led the sick early to apply for medical aid, and physicians to an early use of the proper remedies for this predominating disease. Dr. Rush's efforts to enforce this idea, were rendered more necessary, by the following false and most absurd publication by Dr. Currie of September 17th in the Federal Gazette of September 20th, 1793, and which he himself in the short space of 15 days contradicted most unequivocally; and was obliged to submit his judgment in this instance to that of the man whom he had opposed so short a time before."
"Mr. Brown, It affords me particular satisfaction, that I now have it in my power to inform my fellow citizens, that the progress of the infectious fever has greatly abated, and that with a little longer perseverance in avoiding intercourse with the infected, as far as humanity will permit, paying at the same time proper attention to fumigating and ventilating the houses, clothing, and utensils from whence the sick have been removed, or where they have been confined, the infection which has proved so mortal will most certainly be entirely eradicated in a few days. The best method for effecting this, is contained in a late publication by the learned Dr. Russel."
"I have made the strictest enquiry respecting the number at present confined by the genuine yellow fever, and am convinced that it does not exceed 40 or 50 in the whole city."
"There is, however, another formidable disease prevalent, by which, I have reason to believe, there are above a thousand ill at this time."
"The disease I mean is the common remittent or fall fever. This fever, however, is not infectious."
"When the remitting fever attacks persons not fully recovered from the effects of the influenza, (which is also still prevalent here) it occasions a violent determination of the blood to the head, accompanied with acute pain, a redness of the eyes, with a faint tinge of yellow—the pulse is quick and the skin hot. This is the disease which is so much under the power of blood-letting and purging; and is as different from the infectious, or genuine yellow fever, as the sun is from the moon, or light from darkness."
"In the fall fever, which succeeds the influenza, the eye is sprightly, though red, the face turgid and flushed:—whereas, in the genuine yellow fever, the eye is dull and inanimate, and suffused with a dusky brown, the face pale, shrunk, and cadaverous, almost from the first attack. It is in the remitting fever, with the violent affection of the head, that the mode of treatment advised by Dr. Rush can only be proper; and not in the infectious or yellow fever. On the contrary, in the yellow fever, it cannot fail of being certain death. In the yellow fever, the means recommended by Dr. Kuhn and Dr. Stevens, are the most effectual, and the only ones that can be relied on, with such a variation as circumstances, and the period of the disease may indicate."
"It is in the fall fever, circumstanced as already described, that there is safety in visiting and attending the sick, because this fever is not contagious. Can there be the same safety in visiting patients confined with the genuine yellow fever, which made its appearance in Water-street the third of August last? Let those judge who have had opportunities of seeing its ravages! Is that fever, in which the bond of union is immediately dissolved between the solids and fluids, and where the purple current issues from every pore, the same as that for which Dr. Rush directs bleeding and purging? and can there be safety in visiting persons so affected? Have we all got the contagion of the yellow fever in our bodies, only waiting for some exciting cause to put it into action? By no means. The disease, which Dr. Rush calls the yellow fever, and of which Dr. P. says he has cured such numbers by the new method, is only the fall fever, operating on persons who have been previously affected by the influenza."
"It is time the veil should be withdrawn from your eyes, my fellow citizens!"
WM. CURRIE. Sept. 17th, 1793."
The following is his own act of self-refutation:
"October 2d, 1793. All the physicians engaged in practice at present in the city, agree with Dr. Rush that blood-letting and copious purging are requisite in the cure of the prevailing epidemic, in every case where inflammatory symptoms are evident, and that the dispute hitherto has been about the name of the disease, rather than the proper mode of treatment."
W. CURRIE. The effects of this first publication will long be remembered and deplored by the citizens of Philadelphia. It contributed very much to increase the mortality of the fever. To obviate its destructive influence upon the citizens, Dr. Rush took pains in his intercourse with the sick, to impress upon them that they could have no other disease than the prevailing epidemic, by which means he produced an immediate application for medical advice, and thereby saved many lives. Dr. Rush early discovered further, a difference between a passive and an active state of the disease: He perceived that it was possible for the contagion to exist in a quiescent state in the system, and to pass out of it without doing any harm, provided the person thus affected, avoided what he called the exciting causes of the disease, such as fatigue, heat, cold, intemperance and the like. The signs of the presence of the contagion in the body were, a red eye, a fallow (not a pale) face, as Dr. C. asserts, a quick and full pulse, a want of sleep or night sweats. When these symptoms occurred, Dr. Rush never failed to warn his fellow-citizens of their danger, and to advise them to avoid the causes that might excite the disease into action. By these means I am sure he prevented the disease in many people. Those who know Dr. Rush, will not believe that he ever obtruded his advice upon any body in a manner that was either rude or alarming; and those who attend to these remarks upon Dr. Currie's publication, will not hesitate in disbelieving that Dr. Rush terrified a single person into relapses or convulsions.
I cannot help adding here, that by pursuing the above humane and rational practice of Dr. Rush, in 1793, Dr. Caldwell has assured me that he has good reason to believe that he has saved many lives, and prevented the formation of the disease in many instances during the prevalence of our late epidemic.

From the (Baltimore) FEDERAL GAZETTE. Miss F. T. & Brev.
Amidst that unfortunate variety of opinions concerning the nature and the best mode of treating the late prevailing fever, I trust I also have a right, after an extensive and successful practice of forty or five years on this continent, to offer mine. I take the liberty, therefore, without bearing to incur the imputation of vanity, to state a few facts, the result of my personal observation and experience.
From the 28th day of July to the 23d of October, I have had under my care sixty-seven patients (exclusive of several poor persons, whose names are not on my books) many of whom were afflicted with the existing diseases of the season, or the prevailing fevers: there were also some cases of dysenteries or fluxes. Out of the whole number I lost but two. One of these had the black vomiting some days before I was called in: the other when convalescing, was, by an uncommon and unexpected change of weather, from extreme heat to unseasonable cold, seized with an ague; and, as he lay in a garret, and the north side of the house was very open, and moreover the family residing in the lower part entirely out of hearing, I cannot harbor a doubt, that he died for want of some warm covering. For, agreeably to my directions previously to the sudden change in the air, he laid only under a single sheet and light counterpane.
Though I do not pretend to deny that venesection, when managed with prudence and caution, may sometimes be necessary, yet I am free to declare, that in not one of these sixty seven cases, did I ever use the lancet; and I am bold to assert, for I have strong reasons to believe (from some circumstances which have fallen within my own knowledge) that not a few have died the victims of too frequent and too copious blood-letting. It may be, likewise, not improper to remark, that I administered Mercury or Calomel very sparingly, having noticed many and great inconveniences from too liberal an use of it, such as violent griping, tenesmus, salivation, and other disagreeable and painful consequences; and I found the milder cathartics to answer every good purpose, without exhausting the strength and spirits of the subject.
As to a purg'd or real malignant fever, according to the idea I have of one (and I run but little risk of contradiction when I say that I have seen, if not more, at least as much of it as any other practitioner on the continent) I discovered no such thing in the early stages of the disorder. That the cases were bilious at first, and afterwards, from mismanagement and a multiplication of other causes, put on the purg'd type, I intend shortly, if it please Providence to spare my health and preserve my life, to substantiate by proofs which cannot fail, I think, of satisfying and convincing every one not blinded by ignorance, or enthralled by system and bigotry: at the same time, I shall take occasion also of recommending such means of prevention and cure, as will in my opinion, if adopted, save in future, under the blessing of God, the lives of many of my fellow-creatures.
In the mean while should any respectable gentleman of the faculty think it worth their while to enquire my particular mode of treatment, pursued through the different stages of the disorder, it will upon application, with pleasure, be communicated to them, by HENRY STEVENSON.

Davis's Law Book Store, No. 319, High-Street. GEORGE DAVIS.
BEING busied for some time past in preparation for removing into his present house, has been under the necessity of postponing until this day informing the gentleman of the Bar generally thro' the United States, that his Spring importation of law books is now arranged and ready for sale, on terms that he trusts will entitle him to the like preference he has experienced for several years past. Catalogues, containing the most varied collection ever imported into this country, are printed and will be delivered on application. June 27. g2W
PARIS, September 12.
The Executive Directory to the Citizens of Paris.
Citizens, Royalty has just threatened the constitution by a new attack. After having for a whole year shaken by their dark manoeuvres all the foundations of the Republic, they thought that they were sufficiently powerful to consummate its destruction. They thought themselves sufficiently protected to venture to aim its first attack against the supreme depositories of the Executive Directory. Arms were daily distributed to the conspirators; and all Paris knows that one of the distributors was arrested with a great number of bonds, upon which he had already delivered a great number of firelocks. Cards stamped Legislative Body, and marked with an R, were circulated in order to serve as rallying signs to the conspirators, charged with the office of massacring the Directory and the deputies faithful to the cause of the people.
"A great number of emigrants, cutthroats of Lyons, and brigands of La Vendee, attracted hither by the intrigues of royalism, and the tender interest publicly lavished upon them without fear, attacked the posts which surrounded the executive directory; but the vigilance of the government, and the chiefs of the armed forces, frustrated their criminal efforts."
"The executive directory is about to lay before the nation the authentic documents which it has collected concerning the manoeuvres of the Royalists. You will shudder with horror, citizens, at the plots entered into against the safety of every one of you, against your property, against your dearest rights, against your most sacred possessions and you may calculate the extent of the calamities from which in future you can alone be preserved by the maintenance of the constitution."
So many triumphs had already crowned the establishment of this constitution. Your generals and your intrepid defenders had surrounded it with their immortal trophies. At the fame of their victories, agriculture and commerce resumed their activity, public credit by degrees recovered, confidence and security began to spring up in every heart, and this is the moment which has been pitched upon to re-kindle your animosities, to propagate superstition, to re-organize the power of fanaticism, to sow doubt and alarms in every breast by opening new avenues for the return of emigrants, to shake the guarantee of public contracts: to give the signal of civil war, and to retard by the hopes with which foreign nations were inspired, the so much wished conclusion of peace with our external foes, honorable & solid, worthy of the triumphs of the French people and of their generosity. No, you will not lose the fruits of your long sacrifices, you will rise indignantly against those base emigrants, the authors of our calamities, of all our agitations, of all our sufferings. You will arm yourselves to stop their designs, and to defend against their attacks your persons, your property and your rights. But beware of agitations. Do not disgrace the most glorious of causes by the excesses of an anarchy justly abhorred. Respect property. Let not an ill directed patriotic impulse throw you into a fatal confusion. Obey no voice but that of the avowed chiefs appointed by the government. Rely upon the vigilance of your magistrates and upon the exertions of your legislators, who have remained faithful to the cause of the people. Patriotism will resume all its energy, the constitution all its glory, and every citizen will enjoy, in their fullest extent, liberty, happiness, and tranquility.
Message of the Directory to the Councils, dated 19 Fructidor, Sept. 5.
"Citizens Representatives, The 18th Fructidor (Sept. 4) is destined to be the salvation both of the republic and of yourselves. The people expect this. You witnessed yesterday their tranquility and their joy. This day is the 9th Fructidor (Sept. 5) and the people ask of you where the republic is, and what you have done for its consolidation? The eye of the country, citizens representatives, looks towards you. The moment is decisive; if you allow it to pass by, if you hesitate on the measures that are to be taken, if you put off your decision for a moment, all will be lost, both you and the republic. The conspirators have been on the watch. Your silence has given them courage and audacity; they are intriguing afresh, and are misleading public opinion by infamous libels. The journals of Blanckenbourg and London continue to disseminate their poison. The conspirators do not attempt to conceal the fact, that their plot extends to the legislative body itself. They already speak of punishing the republicans for the commencement of the triumph they think they have obtained."
Is it possible to hesitate still, as to the measure of purging the soil of the very few known and avowed chiefs of these royal conspirators, who wait for the convenient opportunity to destroy the republic, and to devour you yourselves? You are at the brink of the volcano! It is about to swallow you up; you may close it; and can you hesitate? To-morrow it will be too late. The least hesitation is the death of the republic. You will be told of principles, formalities will be resorted to, excuses will be invented; delays will be called for, time will be granted, and the constitution will be assassinated, under pretext of keeping within its limits. This commission, implored in favor of certain men, to what will it lead you? To see those very men take out of your hands the thread of their criminal conspiracies, and collect in your bosom the horrible firebrands of civil war, to let fire to the country. What a misconceived pity, what a fatal sentiment, what limited views would, in that case, draw the attention of the councils towards a few men, between whose fate and that of the republic they would hesitate.
The executive directory has applied itself to point out to you the means of saving France, but it has to expect that you will save yourselves of them. The directory has felt a persuasion that you are sincerely attached to liberty, and the republic, and that the consequences of this first liberty ought not to terrify you. It lays them before you; and is obliged to tell you that you are placed in an unprecedented predicament, and that ordinary rules cannot apply to an extraordinary case, unless you are determined to surrender yourselves to your enemies. If the friends of kings find friends among you; if slaves can meet with protectors in you; if you wait an instant, the safety of France will be despatched; the constitution will cease to be in force; and the patriots may be told, that the hour of royalty is proclaimed throughout the republic.
Puff, as the executive directory finally parted, this terrible idea afflicts and strikes you, appreciate the value of the moment and embrace it; be the deliverers of your country, and lay the eternal foundation of its happiness and glory. (signed) L. M. REYNALDERS, President. LUCARNE, Secretary."
NEW-YORK, November 7. It seems that citizen Ramel, commandant of the guard of the French legislative body, addressed a letter to the councils of elders and 500, assuring them of their safety, and of the attachment of the grenadiers to the duties incumbent on them: But, lo! when general Moulin advanced with his two cannon against the hall, these same faithful defenders of the legislature, these patriot grenadiers, not only deserted their colours, but joined the assailants, delivered up their own commander Ramel, aided in arresting the devoted members, and exhibited one additional proof, that no reliance can be placed upon hiring mercenaries in the trying hour of danger and dismay. The consequence was the seizure of the brave Pichegru, and such of his virtuous colleagues, as, by their firmness in resisting the maligned tyrants, had become obnoxious to their resentment, and objects destined to be immolated at the shrine of personal and party animosity!
What freedom can exist in a country where the legislature is daily subject to the parietal violence of a sanguinary faction?—Opinion should be free as air—No man should be liable to be seized, imprisoned and banished, for expressing his sentiments—where the possibility of this exists, all liberty is utterly lost.—What would be said, if the democratic faction in Congress had wheedled a body of the Philadelphia militia into their measures, seized the advocates for the British treaty, imprisoned and banished them—Said! why, the Jacobins would not certainly have approved it—but the friends of rational liberty—the cool—reflecting part of the public—the men to be depended on, would have stood aghast!—Their first sensations would have been those of surprise and astonishment—but the monsters would have been taught that among people acquainted with their rights, and the necessity of preserving a constitution they had laboured to erect and establish, very different measures were necessary to bring offenders, or presumed offenders to justice.
The present state of affairs in France affords a pretty good criterion for determining the state of public opinion in the United States—All those who declare in favor of the vile usurpers of a power arbitrary and unwarranted, would not hesitate at approving the same rascally measures among us—But those who think justly, cannot fail to deprecate the horrors of the anarchical and despotic violence exercised against the moderate, peaceably-disposed, patriotic members of the directory and legislative councils.
By this day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, November 8. The papers which we shall continue to give, and on which the disclosure of the plans of the royalists were said to be founded appear to be exceedingly obscure. At any rate, they do not appear, to us, to be sufficiently explanatory of their views, to have warranted a condemnation of the many persons arrested on them, without some form at least of a regular trial. To those, however, who look back to the manner in which every former unsuccessful party has been overthrown in Paris, the mode in which the last have been disposed of, will not excite any staggering surprize.
Madame Orleans has obtained permission to pass into Spain.
That another, and another regeneration is not to be confined to the limits of Paris, may be learned from the following article in one of the immaculate, and unproscribed French papers:
"1200 Distinguished Emigrants will be arrested and tried in 24 hours. The representatives and other accused persons who have fled, will be tried for contumacy.—The elections influenced by Louis 18, are declared null; and the commander in chief of the army of Italy, is ordered to avenge the cause of the patriots who were murdered in the South. The division of Massena has for that purpose marched to Lyons, and Joubert's division to Marseilles. All the constituted authorities and administrations of the republic will be regenerated and purified—patriotism will every where be re-kindled—the republicans alone will be armed; all the republican inscriptions will contain these words, which have been wickedly effaced "The Republic or Death!"
"PAISSE." The London Gazette of September 16, contains the account of the capturing of a considerable number of French and Spanish ships of war. Sir John B. Warren's Squadron had taken and destroyed in the course of a few days six armed vessels and a frigate of 36 guns and 23 sail of other vessels.
PARIS, September 5. Declaration of Duverne, Depressé, or Du-nant, annexed to the secret register of the Directory, 11 Ventose, 5th year.
FIRST DECLARATION. CITIZENS,
"I do not dissemble that, in beginning this written detail, I am about to put into your hands that of my own condemnation. But although I am far from being insensible to my own personal interest, I am so fully persuaded that it is a far different motive which has determined you to take a step very difficult to be misinterpreted, which I shall not hesitate to undertake, although I had not to encourage me the engagement which you have contracted."
"Many attempts have been made since the revolution to restore the throne; all of them have failed, but most of them have cost the lives of a great number of men of

both parties. Nothing has discouraged the royalists, and hitherto there have been no many reasons to justify their hopes, that we ought not to be surprised if by the side of one conspiracy extinguished, another should arise the more dangerous, because to its own resources it adds the experience of the errors which have occasioned the ruin of others. I say dangerous, not because I think any conspiracy would overthrow the established government, but because I believe that some one may be found combining sufficient means to encourage even an open attack, and then the blood of Frenchmen would flow in torrents shed by the hands of Frenchmen. It is to prevent, as far as lies in my power, the return of these scenes of desolation, that I have formed the design of communicating all the threads of the conspiracy at the head of which I am placed, to lead you into the track of those which may succeed; in fine, to dissipate in such a manner all the resources of the royalists that they may be compelled even to abandon their hopes. I betray the cause of royalty; I know it, but I am convinced I serve the cause of those Frenchmen who are attached to that cause by destroying the foundation of their chimerical hopes; and, if I do not impede upon myself, this conduct will not deprive me of any just title to the esteem of those who shall decide without passion.
"I will not fatigue your attention by a longer preamble. I have said thus much only to justify to myself an action which I think courageous, which perhaps may be generally regarded as an act of treachery. I am about to enter upon the subject, and I will speak as if I had been the only agent of the king at Paris. It is two years since I undertook the management of his interests. From that period I was aware that the royalists could have no real contingency, but when united round a common centre they act by preconceived movements. From that period I exerted every effort to lead to that centre of unity all the chiefs of La Vendee and of Brittany; all the agents scattered through the different departments that I could discover, who pretended to act for the same object, and who all pursued it by contradictory means. I went into Brittany, into La Vendee. I went to Switzerland, where an English minister resides, specially charged to second the royalists. I went to the army of the prince of Conde, and saw the king. At length I made a journey to England, where I explained myself with the count D'Artois and the English ministers. Nothing less would do, in order to prevail on every individual to renounce the plans which he himself directed, the private scheme which he had adopted, to put an end to the animosities and the divisions which reigned in the party; and in this last respect I never could have produced a durable effect in La Vendee and Brittany. I was also far from considering their submission as an unfortunate event. It served our cause because it enabled us to develop entirely a plan more wise than those which had preceded, on this very account more wise, because it embraced at once the whole of France, and because it excluded every partial movement, but that which should render us masters of Paris by overthrowing the government.
"Such is the plan which had been approved by the pretender, who alone was acquainted with all its details. The English ministry, the French princes, likewise adopted, so much of the plan as was communicated to them. The object was, to make the political and military movements go hand in hand.
"France was to be divided into two agencies. The one, which comprehends the provinces of Franche Compte, the Lyonnais, Forez, Auvergne, and the whole of the South is to be entrusted to M. Precy. The other, which extends over all the rest of France, is to be directed by the agents at Paris. These two agencies shall reciprocally inform each other of their situation by a regular and active correspondence. No movement is to be attempted by the one, if the other is not previously apprised of it and if it is not prepared to second its operation.
"The two agencies shall have a direct communication with the King, and with the agents of the British government. This last having only two objects, the first, the demand of assistance, and secondly, in its application, the agents are to render themselves independent of the instructions which might be given by the English. The second object of the English correspondence shall be to give them every intelligence tending to serve the cause; but never to facilitate to them the means of seizing any of our maritime places, and in general nothing that could be useful only to themselves; the king and the council having never ceased to think that the services of the English are perfidious services, tending to no other object but the total ruin of France.
"The municipal agents shall sub-divide the districts entrusted to their direction into as many military commanderies as they shall judge proper. They shall submit their labours to the king, and propose to him the persons who are judged qualified to fill with intelligence and fidelity the situations of commanders in chief of the different circles. The commanders are to receive their power from the king; but they shall not correspond directly only with the superior agents of the party.
"The principal agents, and especially those at Paris, will spare no pains to seduce to the party of the king, all the members of the constituted authorities. They can promise to every individual all the personal advantages which his importance may entitle him to expect, without the exception of any one, even the members of the Convention, who voted for the death of Louis XVI. But they will not incur any engagement which can give occasion to believe that the intention of the king is to re-establish the monarchy upon new bases. The king will do every thing to reform the abuses which had crept into the ancient regime,
but nothing could induce him to change the constitution. In case of a powerful party in the Councils proposing to recognize the king upon conditions, the agents at Paris were to engage that party to depute to his Majesty a person properly authorized, with whom the king might discuss in person the true interests of France.
"The object proposed is the overthrow of the existing government. It is in the constitution itself that the means were to be found of overturning it without a great shock. The frequency of elections prevent the opportunity of introducing a majority of royalists into the offices of government and the administrations.
"Hitherto the royalists have derived no advantage from their number; their unanimity prevents them from attending the primary assemblies, where, if they have given any votes, it has been without previous concert, and their votes have been thrown away so far as concerned the objects at which they individually aimed. In order to obtain a majority of votes in the primary assemblies, it is necessary to arrange three points: 1st, To force the royalists to attend. 2d, To compel them to unite their suffrages in favour of the individuals pointed out. 3d, To induce that class of men, who have no preference for any government, love that order which protects their persons and properties, to vote in favour of the royalist party. In order to attain this triple object, two associations shall be formed, the one formed of tried royalists, the other of timid royalists, and men selfish or indifferent.
"It is unnecessary for me to enter into any details in this respect, since you are in possession of the regulations to be adopted in these institutions.
"These two associations shall be established throughout the whole of the republic. The agents are not to allow themselves to be deceived by the idea that there are any parties or dispositions which render this establishment superfluous. Every where there are weak and timid mortals to whom the philanthropic institution will be suitable.

PARIS, September 14. COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. Sitting of 12th Sept.
Talbot rose to speak on a motion of order. He stated, that by the law of one quarter of their pay was allowed to reduced officers.
"I do not know (said he) by what fatality it is that those brave men, to the number of 20,000, have not yet received even this miserable pittance. I desire that a message may be sent to the directory, to know the reason of this delay, and what obstacles there are in the way of the payment, in order that the legislative body may take the necessary steps for carrying the law into execution."
The motion was agreed to, and the speech ordered to be printed.
Quirot also spoke upon the order of the day. "The constitution (said he) has provided for the independence of the legislative body, of the executive power, and of the judicial power. But this independence does not exclude responsibility. The law of the 3d Brumaire has provided for the responsibility of the two first powers, but not for the Tribunal de Cassation. The criminal tribunals are also invested with a dangerous inviolability; and this is the cause of all the assassinations which the royalists have been guilty of in France, which have always been committed with impunity, because the justices of the peace shut their eyes, and only punished when they thought proper. Have we not seen partial magistrates suffer, with impunity, libels which tended to excite the assassination of the majority of the directory, under the name of the triumvirate, while they punished people with severity for singing the Marseillois hymn, or a song against clocks? Have we not seen the tribunal de cassation contending against the legislative body, upon the subject of the royal commissioner Brothier, &c.?"
"I move that a committee be appointed to determine upon the misconduct of the tribunal de cassation, the criminal tribunals, and the directors of juries and justices of peace."
The motion was agreed to, and ordered to be printed.
Jean de Bry, in a speech of great length, endeavoured to exculpate the executive power from the reproaches which had been thrown upon them on account of the recent events at Venice, by Pastoret, on the 5th Thermidor.
He cited several articles of the constitution, and proved that the directory had not exceeded their powers. He stated also, that it had been intimated that general Buonaparte had framed his manifesto so as to exculpate his conduct. We cannot follow the orator through his speech, but it made a very great impression upon the council.
Sitting of 13th September. The council received several congratulatory addresses on the 4th Sept. from Châlons sur Marne, Clermont, Ferrand, and several other communes. Insertion and mention to be made in the process verbal.
The administration of the Maine and Loire spoke the same sentiments.
The order of the day was adopted on this address, on that article of the constitution which forbids the administrations to correspond with the legislative body in their corporate capacity.
Citizen Caillard, employed in the treasury, presented 50 livres for the expenses of the war, and promised to give as much every year until the conclusion of a peace. Honourable mention.
Several citizens of the department of l'Orne addressed several remonstrances to the council, on the table for the depreciation of paper money made for this department.
The order of the day was called for, which was opposed by Labrousse, on the ground
that some errors might have crept into this table—Referred to the directory.
The discussion on Villier's report on Finance was resumed.
LONDON, September 11. A messenger arrived yesterday from the Portuguese Ambassador with advices from Portugal, and also dispatches for Government from the Hon. Robert Walpole, his Majesty's Minister at that Court, which were laid to contain the Treaty between France and that Country; they were deemed of such importance as to be immediately sent off to Lord Grenville, at Dropmore.
Some persons complain that the constitution has been little attended to by the different parties at Paris. Mr. Pitt, however, will surely be the last man to find fault with these parties for any violation of the constitution.
The Cap of Liberty was not arrested from Britannia when a new Copper coinage was projected: the voluntarily resigned it—not wishing to retain the shadow, after having been deprived of the substance.
Mr. Windham still holds out that the Expedition against the Peak of Teneriffe was negatively successful, "for," says the great Statesman, "was it not highly probable that, considering the smallness of their force, the English might have been totally destroyed, whereas we find that no less than 400 have escaped!"
September 14. There is no reason given by the Triumvirate for the transportation of Bartholomew and Carnot. They are not accused of being concerned in what is called the conspiracy of Pichegru, and though the Royalist Journals considered them as being desirous of peace, and on that account in opposition to the Triumvirate, yet surely that desire, if itself, could never be advanced as a serious charge against them.
The only army of the Republic, whose sentiments can in any manner be doubted upon the subject of the late events at Paris, is the army of the Rhine and Moselle. Some of the Members of the Council of Five Hundred complained that the army was neglected, because it still preferred its attachment to Pichegru and Thibaudau, two days before the late convulsion, in a speech upon the finances, said, that "calm immovable amidst the passions that agitated the rest of the Republic, the brave army of the Rhine had not received any pay for three months."
ELIZABETH-TOWN: November 8. Last evening arrived in town on his way to the seat of government, the President of the United States, escorted by major Ward's cavalry. He was welcomed by the discharge of cannon and ringing of bells. Several gentlemen paid their respects to him He leaves town to day escorted by Captain Haines troop.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9.
RAY GREENE, Esq. is elected Senator of the United States for the state of Rhode-Island, in the place of William Bradford, Esq. resigned.
THE CITY CAVALRY will parade on Friday morning next, the 10th instant, precisely at nine o'clock, at the Hotel in Tenth, between Arch and Race-streets, for the purpose of escorting the President of the United States on his return to the seat of government.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. MR. VENNO.
THERE is a talk of a military parade when the President arrives. Some on horse and some on foot—while the President rides in a chariot, perhaps a coach, and as the Aurora says, with wheels.
I will not at this moment enquire by what authority the governor undertook to instruct the adjutant general about this business—He surely did not consult the democratic society about it, for B. F. B. their oracle, is dreadfully and mortally charmed. He has published a wonderful smart piece in his Aurora on the occasion, in which he raves about slavery, and livery, and frolics, and nobody knows what. He says the whole uniform of the militia of the State ought to be changed; for if they wear it they are all slaves, because the President's folks all wear blue coats with red collars. The people who serve the President must be slaves because they are yankees—they are all free men when they are in Massachusetts, where I believe they were almost all born and married; but if the military companies of Philadelphia, in uniform, should turn out on this occasion, they are slaves, and the President's people all become slaves too. As much for wearing blue and red. There is another thing that seems to cause great uneasiness to the Aurora writer. The militia is composed says he, of men as free as the Governor; this you know, and every body knows. But you know that we always supposed the Governor was general and commander in chief over the militia. This is the stumbling block with the Aurora, how one free man can have a right to command another free man. There is one of the fashion who says, he hopes his hand will wither, if he should obey the governor's orders. This is a knotty point, I shall leave it with the governor to settle.
There is another circumstance, which it seems was not foreseen by the governor. If it should rain it will be merry, if it not it will be dusty, and as this matter cannot be settled beforehand, in either case, the Aurora says the militia will be in a "degraded, prostituted situation, for the President's carriage, it says, will be sometimes before and sometimes behind. The editor, who I suppose to be the Old Soldier, is a very wise man, but it is wonderful how he should know so much.
I greatly suspect he means to overthrow the whole militia system, for he intimates that waiting on the President was the object of that system, and what becomes of this bulkwork of our liberties, should that be the case? I wish we knew the full extent of the designs of some people who bellow very loud about slavery since they left off going to levee. It appears as if they meant to bring in a standing army. If it is slavery in the militia to obey orders, you may depend we shall soon be without one.
The Aurora patriot is too partial—I hate local patriotism—No solicitude was expressed about the militia of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New-York, or New-Jersey—they they voluntarily plunged themselves into this business—poor creatures, they did not see thro' the medium of the Aurora. But there is something more shocking to apprehend; if the militia should turn out, it will transform them into Janissaries! Now Janissaries are Turkish mercenaries and wear turbans.
FROM A LONDON PAPER. LORD MOUNTMORE. Yesterday morning at his lodgings in York-street, St. James's-square, Lord Mountmore morrow put an end to his existence by shooting himself thro' the head. By the direction of the bullet it appeared that he had put the pistol into his mouth; he had another in his pocket loaded, and by every account it is obvious that he had made preparations for this violent act, had paid in a way that gave his acquaintance reason to believe that he had for several days deliberated upon the suicide he accomplished. When a man in easy circumstances, whose life cannot have affected his conscience, commits this dreadful act, it is not easy to account for the motive. The lenity of a Coronor's Inquest to rescue his family from cruel and extravagant penalties, may call it lunacy, but the inquisitive mind's eager in the search of rational argument All those who were acquainted with Lord Mountmore knew him to be a man harmless, though feckless in his manners; who in the incessant pursuit of distinction sacrificed his comfort without obtaining his object. To be noticed by persons of high rank was his supreme felicity, and obtruding himself on the society of persons who did not taste the monotony of his conversation, and who rejected his advances, fixed ultimately a chagrined on his temper which he deeply felt. He was long supported by self-opinion. He laid claim to the merits of eloquence and patriotism—he was, in his own esteem, a fine writer, as well as a fine gentleman; he wrote a Comedy which was never acted, and published a book, the history of the Parliament of Ireland, which was never read; and during the last six months of his life, he amused his vanity by announcing that he had undertaken the difficult task of translating Herodotus. Fond of notoriety he announced this design to every man he met, and a few pages of translation, with a very large body of common place notes were his late claims to the credit of literature. This perpetual hunting after fame, was made still further ridiculous by his pursuit of a splendid marriage. He is said to have been refused by more women of fortune than any Nobleman in England. Whether this be true or not, it contributed to his mental disquiet; for those Journals, whose Editors make the frailties of fashionable life the subject of their ridicule, and perhaps, of their profit, had the atrocity to draw this vain but in offensive man into daily odium. To the disgrace of the readers of these Journals they countenanced the scandal. Even in a paper of yesterday, the day of his death, he was exposed in an illiberal lampoon and an allusion made to a Lady with whom, perhaps, he never exchanged a syllable.—These daily libels wounded him to the quick, and perhaps contributed to his fatal catastrophe. For some time past he has betrayed symptom of uneasiness. He wrote a letter to Dr. Willis on Tuesday desiring to see him on Friday morning, as he felt himself indisposed. The Doctor came to his lodgings but a few minutes after he had perpetrated the act. He had, by a course of prudence amounting to parsimony, created in fact a very easy fortune, for from a very small encumbered estate he is said to leave a clear 5000. a year. We understand that he has a half brother who will succeed to the estate, but of this fact we have no certain knowledge.

THE PHILOSOPHER AND THE COX-COMB. Written by the late Mr. CAWTHORN.

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.

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Shippenburg and Sunbury STAGES. THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted 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 subject 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 himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippenburg, 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, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public 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 as 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 Sunbury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mondays. WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferrae, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednesday morning, on the same evening, arrives at Patrick Cochran's in Shippenburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadelphia. mwf
