From one of the late London Papers.
EXTRACT
From a Letter lately published by HANNAH MORE, Esq. commonly called Redhead, addressed to the Reformers in this country.
IT must be in the recollection of most of our readers, that the author of this pamphlet was sentenced to a long imprisonment, in consequence of a conviction for seditious practices.
This, therefore, may be considered as an important publication, since it exhibits a full, honourable, and manly recantation of those principles, of the malignant and mischievous tendency of which Mr. Yorke declares himself now satisfied, from the most temperate and sober examination.
A candid proselyte, in such times, is a rare phenomenon.
The tract commences, with proving, by clear reasoning, that the continuance of the war is imputable to the French, and not to us; that they are slaves themselves, and fighting to establish similar slavery among others.
The following passages characterize the ambition and perfidy of the French.
"The ambition of one man, Lewis XIV. has been transplanted into the bosom of every Frenchman, and is again revived as a national characteristic. Is again revived as a national characteristic. Thus they affect to listen with pleasure, to propositions of peace, because they gratify vanity, while they inspire their hopes and feed their ambition."
In the offers of peace, they imagine they behold the debility of their enemies. In the denial of them, they fancy they display their power. Their real object is obviously to subjugate their enemies in succession, and to plunder them when subjugated.
"If any proofs be necessary in support of this assertion, I will refer you to their solemn declarations, their constitutional codes, their manifestoes, on the one side; and to their repeated perjuries, violent decisions, and unexampled cruelties on the other."
For instance, they protested, in the presence of God and the world, that they renounced all conquest, that their only triumphs should be those of philosophy; that, instead of the luxury of courts, they would establish liberty and equality; in the place of a persecuting superstition, universal tolerance; of individual will, general law; of literary servility, unqualified liberty of opinion; of feudal oppressions, the removal of many physical evils; of ignorance, the institution of a national education, which should redeem the human race from error, and advance the improvement of their intellectual powers and moral sentiments.
All this they solemnly promised, but have fulfilled in no one instance. You, however, gave credit to the benevolent design, because it was plausible, and to did I.
Mark how they have performed their promises. Instead of renouncing all conquests, they have not only subjugated, but they plundered Savoy, Italy, Holland, the Austrian Netherlands, and all the territory situated between their ancient frontier and the banks of the Rhine, which, with magnificent folly, they have appropriated as their boundary, in defiance of reason, justice, and military experience.
The triumphs of their philosophy consisted in the legalized murder of every man who was distinguished for literary eminence, and who took no part in their sanguinary measures, the black catalogue of whose names are as appalling to the philosopher, as they must be disgusting to you.
For liberty and equality, they have permitted the licentious freedom of a few hundred tyrants, who are the offals of human nature; and such as the lowest of the people brought into play according to the downward progression of civil commotion.
For universal tolerance, they have martyred, imprisoned, or banished most excellent characters, because they gave testimony of that faith which is in them; so that an Algerine pirate, or an Atheist, is certain of toleration and countenance there, when a Christian finds none.
For general law, they have established the discipline of the bayonet, and the sanguinary codes of general proscription. For unqualified liberty of opinion, they imprison or banish every man who dares to speak against the government; and they have appointed a licenser to the public papers, the only vehicles of public opinion and intelligence.
For the removal of many physical evils, they have entailed poverty, the greatest of evils, on their passive slaves; and for national education, and the improvement of the human intellect, they have discountenanced all religion, proscribed its teachers, driven men of true knowledge either into banishment or silence; and, with a mockery of all sense, have instituted Pagan ceremonies, wherein the most bombastic rant and fustian are delivered from their chief magistrates, and the people embuted, are taught to be satisfied, like the servile Romans, with panem and circenses, bread and puppet shows."
On the conduct to the French, as it concerns the interests of religion, the author thus expresses himself.
"I always considered it as a wise measure to abstain from any professions in a country, where religion reared her sacred front in the palace, and in the hamlet. But when infidelity avowedly stalks abroad, when every fallacy is marshalled in systematic order, for the base purpose of invalidating or rendering ridiculous the great truths of religion, it is a right that every man should boldly and fearlessly avow his faith. It is a duty which I owe my countrymen, to caution them against that cold and flippant scepticism, which dampens our hopes, remove the sanctions of morality, chills domestic happiness, destroys the obligations of social order, and builds up the philosophy of vanity, on the subversion of the altars of God. This, however, is not the place to discuss the moral and political effects of religion on the happiness of nations. The example of France should serve as an awful warning to Europe. The church was no sooner declared independent of the state, under the pretext of universal tolerance, than a flood of vice inundated the land. The tribunals of justice re-
ceived a shock, in the absence of every religious tie, and all conventions among men were weakened or rendered nugatory. That the French should turn aside from the superstitions of the church of Rome, is a natural conclusion, in an age remarkable for the general dissemination of knowledge. But that they should suddenly renounce the ac- knowledge of revealed truths from the abuse, which have oppressed them, is a ridiculous trait in their conduct, as it denotes the impotence of their understandings. The vice and frauds of the professors of christianity have nothing to do with christianity itself. To know what it is we must look to the only proper place, the scriptures. The christian religion is peculiar to itself; it has nothing in common with other systems of religion which have existed in the world. It has God for its founder, and reason for its basis. It is every where uniform, consistent and complete. Considered as a body of revealed law, it is supported by that lucid evidence which must be satisfactory to an unbiased judgment. Its promises are all intellectual (a remarkable instance of its simplicity) its object is unambitious and its moral precepts correct even to mathematical precision. The law of nature was but darkly known to the most enlightened of ancient philosophers; a revelation of it was therefore indispensable."
Christianity supplied this defect. It descended upon the earth at a proper place and a proper time, after human philosophy had emptied itself of all its subtleties; in the most inquisitive and enlightened nations of antiquity. It has existed for eighteen centuries, without once losing light of it; and it will exist, as long as charity and virtue continue to be cultivated by men. What can the human moralist substitute in its place, or what hopes will he give us when christianity is gone? It has been well and wised—morality without motives, laws without mercy, and government without principle. Virtue and vice would become mere conventional sounds, determined according to the fashion of countries, and a man might travel from one region to another, to commit vice with impunity. Thus, incest he would reconcile to conscience, by the law of Persia, adultery by that of Sparta, and the exposition of infants by the codes of Lycurgus and China. The experiment has been tried in France, and it has failed."
The author's sentiments on the British constitution are such as become a good subject. The pamphlet concludes thus:
"I have now done. By thus openly declaring my sentiments, I may incur blame or excite malevolence; but my motive in writing this letter is sufficiently manifest. It is my wish to see the religion, laws and constitution of my country preserved entire from the fury of a perfidious enemy, or the rash arm of fanatical innovation. My principles, religious and political, are certainly different from what they were when I entered the prison. I am prepared, if it be necessary, to explain the causes of that change. I solemnly declare that I have nothing to hope from either party; from ministers or from opposition. I am totally unconnected with either. Although I have deeply and severely suffered from long imprisonment, both in fortune and domestic happiness, and although I have been invited to repair the mischiefs by entering again on political engagements, yet I will not sacrifice my future tranquility to temporary advantages, nor my opinions to interest. If, through me, the country hath been wounded, I implore its forgiveness, and sincerely pray that the evils which may arise from any misconduct of mine may light on my head, not on Great-Britain, and that in charity to the failings of human nature, it may be ascribed to the levity and inconsiderateness of youth not to any dishonesty of intention, nor defect of principle. If, for such opinions, I am delined, in an ill-fated hour of my country, to be led to the scaffold, I shall willingly resign my life, in testimony of a constitution, the beneficent effects of which I have felt, even in the melancholy solitude of a prison."
CORK, Sept. 22.
Two ships of the line, and four frigates are to be added to our naval establishment at Cove, which, with the force already there, will, we trust prove a sufficient defence against any attack which may be made on our coast.

acknowledgements, and called for the deepest gratitude on their part. David, the painter, who has rendered himself particularly conspicuous during the whole progress of the revolution, and whose talents have been employed to record its most sanguinary achievements, as the triumph of republican virtue, determined not to display less zeal than his fellow citizens on this interesting occasion. He accordingly painted a picture, in commemoration of the event, in which he actually gave to the deity the very countenance of Robespierre!!!

From a Correspondent.
We notice with pleasure the respectful attention to the anniversary of the birth of our illustrious President, which, at Fort Jay, was honored by a federal salute.
Every true American will feel happy, at celebrating the birth day of a President, uniting in his character the enlightened statesman, firm patriot and christian philosopher.
The extracts of a letter to the reformers in England, in this day's paper, we recommend to the serious perusal of every one who is an admirer of French principles, or desirous of any change in our excellent administration and constitution.
Several of the departments of France, from the want of a good system of police, are infested with robbers, who commit great cruelties. The Directory have invited the councils to make the communes responsible for the crimes which they suffer to be perpetrated within the districts, and they state, in their message, that one cause of the frequent robberies is, that punishment does not follow conviction sufficiently quick.
The councils have settled the expenses of the army and navy of France for the next year, at 262 millions for the army, and 125 millions for the navy.
The most celebrated statues of the Museum at Rome are ordered to be sent to Paris; the independence of the Roman republic! The colossal figure, representing the Nile, is among the number. Forty oxen are to draw them to Ripa Grande, where they are to be embarked for France.
While we do homage to that guardian of American freedom, the liberty of the press, (says the Windsor (Vermont) paper, in speaking of the conviction of M. Lyon) we rejoice in every measure which has tendency to retain its licentiousness; convinced that if the people of America should be deprived of this invaluable birth right, it would be by those who abuse the sacred privilege of free discussion. The conviction of Mr. Lyon we hope, may prove in the end a noble triumph of liberty, and our equal laws over that nobbled spirit of opposition to government, which is at the present moment, the heaviest curse of America.
PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) Oct. 20.
Celebration of
The President's Birth Day.
The Citizens of Portsmouth, paid a most honorable testimony of respect to the Birthday of the President of the United States, in the following very judicious manner: at sun rise a federal salute was fired from the Revenue Cutter, commanded by John Adams, Esq. which salute was returned by a joyful peal from all the bells; by Major Boyd's private armed ship, and from two brigs held pieces centrally disposed in Capt. Whidden's garden. At 10 A. M. the Light Infantry, under the orders of Thomas Sparhawk, Esq. paraded at the State House, and after performing a variety of military evolutions in a very superior style, marched out of town, to elect his Excellency Gov. GILMAN in, who had previously been invited to honor an elegant entertainment with his presence, which had been provided by his fellow citizens at the assembly-room. The military escort and his excellency met at the confines of the town, when, with that distinguished politeness which marks the character of the finished gentleman, he instantly dismounted, and placed himself with the line of Infantry, and in this manner was conducted to his lodgings at Col. Brewster's; his arrival being announced by 16 rounds of artillery. At 3, P. M. the military resumed the line of march, and waited on his Excellency to the place of entertainment, where they displayed files, saluted, fired a feu de joie and were dismissed. A few minutes past 3, his Excellency entered the room, [Thomas Martin, Esq. acting as President, and Col. James Sheafe as Vice-President,] and participated of a dinner which did honor to the stewards and reflected equal credit on Mrs. Whidden, whose abilities were never displayed to more advantage. His Excellency was attended by his suite and followed by the Rev. Clergy. Among whom we noticed Dr. Tappan, the Holliston professor of Divinity at Cambridge and many other distinguished characters. A great number of the militia officers, joined the escort in complete uniform. What rendered the presence of his Excellency peculiarly grateful to his fellow citizens at this moment, was, that he had just completed his personal review of the militia throughout the state, and returned in perfect health to the affections of a people, who appreciate his talents, and revere his virtues.
After dinner a number of federal and patriotic toasts were given out, and the following original and most excellent songs sung with high approbation. The company mounting to nearly 80, broke up at an early hour, and retired with that decorum, which so well becomes men who acknowledge themselves the citizens of a federal republic, which gave birth to the illustrious JOHN ADAMS, no less dignified by his private, than immortalized by his public virtues, and natives of a state or subjects thereof,
in which the truly excellent and really patriotic JOHN TAYLOR GILMAN presides with peculiar honour to himself, and distinguished felicitous to the state of New-Hampshire.
So long as ADAMS guides the Federal Car; So long may GILMAN light the brightest Star; Mid the bright Galaxy that lights Columbia's way, Still shining brighter in the perfect day.
The following were among the most celebrated Toasts.
1st. The day we celebrate—may the virtues of our illustrious President John Adams, be ever held in grateful remembrance by his country.
2d. The United States of America—may their union and independence be commensurate with time.
3d. The State of New-Hampshire—may it continue a luminous star in the American constellation.
4th. The virtuous majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
5th. George Washington Commander of the armies of the United States—may our country never forget to honour the man who sacrifices his own happiness to her safety.
6th. The armies of the United States—may our enemies know their virtues and fear to provoke their exertions.
7th. Our rising navy—may she protect our insulted commerce and thunder destruction on our enemies.
8th. The Heads of the four great Departments of State.
9th. Messrs. Pinckney, Marshall and Gerry—may such integrity, firmness and decision as they have displayed, ever triumph over artifice disgraceful to a nation.
10. American volunteers—an antidote to the diabolical skill of Talleyrand and his American assistants.
11. Firmness to the friends, reformation to the opponents, and confusion to the enemies of our government.
12. United Councils & vigorous measures.
13. May America learn wisdom from the example of so many republican catastrophes passing in review before her eyes.
14. May the ardour of passion in any cause never lead us to forget charity, humanity and benevolence.
15. May fraud and force in no nation be allowed to be the measure of right and wrong.
16. The fair daughters of America—May their smiles and favor always reward their own and their country's protectors.
VOLUNTEERS
(After the Governor retired.)
1. The Governor of the State of Hampshire, John Taylor Gilman.
2. The President of the Day, Thomas Martin, Esq.
3. The Vice-President, James Sheafe Esq.
4. May the genius of Federalism exterminate from our country the demon of Jacobinism and faction.
5. May the American army be on all occasions as successful, as it was on the 19th Oct. 1781.
Songs, sung on the above occasion, will appear in to-morrow's Gazette.
BOSTON, October 26.
From France.
The Little Cherub arrived at Duxbury, on Monday last, 38 days from Nantz. Nothing certain was known there of Buonaparte. The French government, from some cause, evince a strong desire to compromise with the United States. The brig Cyrus, Captain Tyler, for this port, failed in company, on board of which, Joseph Wood ward, Esq. of Tewksbury, near Boston, was a passenger, and entrusted with Dispatches addressed to our Government.
Yesterday Captains Blake and Crumby, of the unfortunate Americans who returned to their country from France, in the Benjamin Franklin, arrived at Philadelphia, reached this town. Captain Quimby has given to us for publication, the following memorial, (which will of itself explain the cause which produced it) together with a letter on the subject from the American Consul General at Paris, to whom the memorial had been entrusted. Before the receipt of this letter, the memorialists had been allowed to take passage in the cartel.
COPY OF A MEMORIAL
To the MINISTER OF MARINE, &c.
The Memorial of the American Captains who have had their vessels captured and condemned, respectfully represents:
That the undersigned, having been refused permission to embark in the cartel ship, commanded by Captain Lloyd Jones, of the Commissary of Marine, who says, that none would be permitted to embark, either in the said cartel ship, or in any of the neutral vessels bound to the United States, unless they should have passports signed by the Minister for that purpose.
Thus circumstanced, they find themselves impelled to resort to the Citizen Minister, for that indulgence; not doubting, but that animated by the magnanimity and humanity, for which, the French nation is so justly renowned, he will give those orders, equally prompt and efficient, which their situation, and truly distressed situation, as well as the interest of their crews, so loudly claims; either to embark in Captain Jones's cartel, or in any other neutral vessel bound to the United States.
Mark Fernald, John Crumby, Samuel Hancock, Alexander Chilholm, David Ewen, Joseph Brown, Enoch Randall, Appleton Ward, Increase Blake, Joseph Smith, George Hall.
Bordeaux, Aug. 14. Paris, Aug. 22.
Captain John Crumby.
Sir, I duly received a letter signed by you and several others of my Countrymen, with a petition to the Minister of Marine for permission for you and them to embark on board the ship commanded by Capt. Jones. This petition I should immediately have presented
to the Minister with an earnest request to him to comply with its desire, but the agreeable event which has been just communicated to me, of that Minister having given general and special instructions to aid and protect all Americans at the different ports, leaves me no room to doubt of your and my other countrymen's difficulties at Bordeaux being by this time removed; I have, therefore, kept the petition, and begging you and them to accept assurances of my good wishes, I am respectfully,
Your most Humble Servant, FULW R. SKIPWITH.
Couzar, in the French Council of 500, Aug. 1, moved, for the modification of the law, which exacts that the neutrality of a vessel shall be decided by her cargo—or that English goods or produce should imply English property. His speech was ordered to be printed.

PHILADELPHIA,
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2.
Mr. Richardet being about to return to the city, the papers for citizens, resident in Germantown, will be discontinued after this evening.
It is with infinite satisfaction we inform our Readers, that yesterday the Federal Interest of New-Jersey obtained a complete triumph over the anti-federal junto.
Notwithstanding the attempts which were made by the latter to oust Governor Howell, he was re-elected Governor by an almost unanimous vote—there being only one in the opposition.
JONATHAN DAYTON was elected Senator of the United States in the place of Mr. Stockton, who declined being considered a Candidate. His opponent was Dr. Elmer, a Federalist also.
The French Government has revived the detestable laws respecting Gunning and Fishing—which were the most horrid which existed with the King. No Citizen now can kill a bird or catch a fish without purchasing a special licence!!!
The poor Swifts!!!
A letter from Zurich, in Switzerland, dated June 10, gives the following circumstantial account of the carrying away of the treasure of that town: "On the 5th of June, the French war commissary, Pommier, gave notice that Citizen Ripinat would come in the evening to inspect the treasure, and that therefore the deputies of the chamber of administration might hold themselves in readiness. About six o'clock, Ripinat, Rochiere, and Pommier made their appearance with soldiers, and required the keys of the treasury. These were refused him, and secretary Metz hastened to fetch the stadthalter Pfenninger, and the president of the chamber of administration, Wyls; both of whom came and protested against such a proceeding."
"Ripinat then demanded the keys, saying menacingly, "Voila les bayonnettes. You see the bayonettes;" to which the stadthalter Pfenninger, replied, "Had weas many bayonettes as you, we would dispute it with you. I shall immediately send an account of this proceeding to Arau." "You will," said Ripinat, "then do not forget to add, that we shall carry it away in four days time." He then broke off the seal and ran sacked the treasury, which was yesterday carried away in waggons by the French."
From the New York Daily Gazette.
By capt. O'Brian we are informed, that the French had made another attempt to invade Ireland, and had landed a number of men in the North; but hearing the fate of their countrymen, they re-embarked.—Their number was supposed to have been between 1000 and 1500.
Frankfort (Ken.) Oct. 2.
We understand that several thousand copies of the Dispatches from the American Envoy are sent to this state by the General Government, to be distributed among the people.
A gentleman of this town just arrived from New-Hampshire, informs, that when he left that place, Zacariah Cox was in close confinement, and his most intimate friends not permitted to speak with him. Said to be done in consequence of an order from the General Government. Governor Sargeant had a meeting of some of the inhabitants of Newcast, and informed them that the government would soon be organized, and likely recommended the organization of the militia. That the troops were partial—heroed through a Cotton field of fifty acres, and saw it in many instances nine feet high. When he passed through the Chickasaw nation, the Indians were all gone to the Bluffs, to receive from General Wilkinson the presents sent by the General Government.
TEN DOLLARS REWARD.

His back is full fore from a lancing he got a few days ago. He may be discovered by his fleeing, as he plays extremely well. W. W. BURROWS Major Com. of the Marine Corps. October 17.
