STOP THE THIEVES!!! LAST Wednesday Evening, October 19, between the hours of 10 and 12 o'clock, the bed room of Mr. Ricketts in O'Eller's hotel was entered, either by means of false keys, or at the window, by some villain or villains, who must have been acquainted with the situation of the house (as the door was soon locked after they had committed the theft) who took away from amongst several trunks, ONE, which contained a valuable parcel of Mr. Ricketts property, but of which he is not yet able to ascertain the contents particularly. After bringing the said trunk away, and emptying it of upwards of a thousand dollars in cash and bank notes, the villain left it behind the circus, during the time that the performances of the evening were going on. It is earnestly requested, that all tavern-keepers on the stage roads, and the ferry houses, as well as all civil officers, may be watchful in securing suspicious persons, who may have a redundancy of cash, which their appearance would by no means bespeak them to be possessed of. One Hundred Dollars Reward Will be given for securing the thief or thieves, and a further reward for securing them with the property. Oct. 21.

CONTINUATION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE, BY THE LATE ARRIVALS.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 31.
The mail, which we expected on the 18th inst. did not arrive until the 23d, and you may easily conceive how much this circumstance excited the curiosity both of the Ottoman ministry and the whole Diplomatic corps, and made every one extremely uneasy. After the letters were given out we learnt, that the two Janissaries, who according to custom were charged with carrying the mail from Rushing to this place, were attacked by robbers, & closely pursued within a small distance from the advanced posts of the army in Romelia; they were, however, adroit enough to save the most important parcels of letters as well as of the jewels, which it is the evil custom here to send by this conveyance, and which attract the rapacity of the thieves and rogues in that quarter. This occurrence, however, has spread here great alarms with respect to the future safety of the mails, notwithstanding the Porte has given the strictest orders for the protection of the messengers entrusted with them.
The rebels begin to appear in force in the environs of Adrianople, and some of their detachments have even pushed on beyond the territory belonging to that town, without meeting with the least opposition on the part of the army commanded by the Beglierbey, on account of which, we understand, that general has been severely reprimanded, and ordered without the least delay to exert his utmost efforts for a speedy extirpation of the banditti. It is a very remarkable circumstance, that their number, instead of decreasing, does daily encrease, which renders them more insolent and enterprising. The worst of the business is, that they have every where friends and protectors, who give out, that there is not the least hope of reducing them, and that government should accommodate matters with the Brigands, in a manner highly disgraceful to it, that is, by granting them a general pardon for the past, allowing those who are come from the vicinity of Belgrade to return thither, and to distribute some money among them, in order to alleviate the miseries of their present situation.
STOCKHOLM, August 16.
We have received the satisfactory news of the safe landing of the King and Duke Regent, on the 15th, at five in the afternoon, at Abo, which town was illuminated in the evening. Before he embarked, the duke felt some effects from the wound which he received in the last war; but, during the voyage, it gave him no inconvenience.
The Chamberlain Baron Schwerin, appointed last year to communicate to the Empress the intended marriage of the King with the Princess of Mecklenbourg, has received a very different commission, that of announcing to the court of Russia the visit which it is about to receive from the King.
COPENHAGEN, August 20.
The Thetis frigate, of 40 guns, lately returned from the North Seas, is to be fitted out again with the utmost speed for the Mediterranean, to protect the Danish commerce in that quarter, as our government seems rather to suspect the pacific assurances of the dey of Tripoli. The precepts destined for that foreigner are still here, and they will not be sent off before the return of the Prince Royal.
Letters from Stockholm of the 18th inst. that no intelligence had at that time been received of the king of Sweden's safe arrival at Abo in Finland, but that the wind having been favourable, there could be no doubt of his having had a safe and quick passage.
PARIS July 28.
SPEECH OF CITIZEN REVEILLERE LEPAUX, President of the executive directory, delivered in the camp De Mars, on the festival of the 10th of August.
Frenchmen, At a period which is now remote, reason began to illuminate our minds, and the sacred fire of liberty glowed in our veins! The study of the energetic languages, a taste for which has since been generally diffused; the bold systems, the sublime ideas, the profound sentiments, the vigorous images of those philosophers and poets who have rendered Europe illustrious, at length elevated our understandings, and warmed our imaginations. Thus prepared, the American revolution could not remain a sterile example.
Since that memorable epoch, the calls of liberty have been listened to with rapture in France! At her powerful voice the Dauphinefs descended from their mountains, and the men of Brittany came forth from their heaths and their forests—they willed their independence! Soon was this generous movement communicated to every part of the nation—the representatives of the people were assembled!
The spirited resolution passed by the deputies of the people on the 23d of June, commenced to lap the foundations of that throne which had oppressed us for so many ages. The fall of the Bastille shook it to its basis. But it still existed—it threatened to consolidate itself a new, and by increased force to bear down all before it.
Blessed be the immortal day of the tenth of August! for then it was completely overthrown!
The friends of liberty, wearied of the measures of a court, as basely pernicious as deeply corrupted, flocked here from every quarter. Their awful phalanges, attacked the colossus of royalty, and which was then planning new devastations and new crimes. It crumbled into dust! and the republic was proclaimed in the face of its most formidable enemies.
In vain doth the vile partisans of slavery, or men, who, incapable of forgetting an injury, would sacrifice the best and justest of causes to the passions of revenge. In vain, I say, do they endeavour to throw a cloud over the enjoyment of this day. Impartial history will secure its place among the most glorious of epochs. Posterity will be informed, that though some profligate men insinuated
themselves into the sacred ranks, and succeeded in establishing their horrid domination; though they completed the measure of their crimes, by profiting of the alarm and confusion necessarily produced by the dreadful fall of an ancient monarchy; still it is not the less true, that the 10th of August was the work of the purest patriots. All those to whom nature had given great courage and vigorous minds, contributed to it by their speeches, their writings, or their personal efforts.
History will declare, that had it not been for the glorious events of the 10th of August, the territory of France would have been parcelled out into small portions, and shared among the members of a powerful coalition, or the throne would have been firmly established by the destruction of our infant institutions, and then the furious tyrant would have exercised a vengeance still more execrable and more prolonged than that which marked the transient reign of the triumvirate.
It will be told, that had it not been for this day Frenchmen would never have enjoyed the full extent of those rights which give happiness to the social state; equality would not have existed, that equality of rights which renders all the public functions accessible to every citizen. That equality which assures to us the constitution of 1795; a constitution which, while it gives force to the execution of the laws, and security to persons and property, does not permit any family or individual to assume peculiar prerogatives and distinctions, or to arrogate to themselves, even eventually, claims to public offices. A constitution which obliges the legislators and the magistrates of the republic, to return to the condition of simple citizens, after a short exercise of their authority.
Finally, history will declare to posterity that, to the immortal 10th of August we are indebted for the republic! The republic! Ah! is there one whose heart is so cold, and whose mind is so grovelling, as not to feel the scale of its evidence enlarged, and his soul elevated by the idea of being one of its citizens, and breathing the air of liberty!
But, citizens! it is not sufficient to have combated for the republic, and to have established it by wise laws; it is necessary to preserve it. What would be your lot were it to perish? Shame and misery! The means of perpetuating it is in our own hands.
Would we be assured that the throne of kings shall never rise amongst us—let us pull down the throne of vice! let us erect the throne of virtue!
Let all the affections of nature, which corruption had nearly extinguished, and which the violence of fashion had almost made us forget, resume their empire. Let all the soft ties of social relations be drawn closer. Let the endearing names of faithful lover, tender husband, good father, affectionate child, disinterested friend, kind neighbour, and honest man, be preferred to all the empty titles to which ambition has attached so much value. Let republican frankness, and a simple life, be preferred to the glare of false talents, and the brilliancy of fortune.
It is by moderate desires—by the practice of forgetting one's self, and thinking only of promoting the happiness of others, that exotism can be destroyed, and those exalted characters formed who fly with ardour to the defence of their country—who augment her prosperity, and add to her glory. Then, burning with the love of our country, we sacrifice our interests to hers. Then, generosity and masculine energy, take the place of hatred and desire of vengeance. In a word, the habitual exercises of all the public and private virtues, leads to the oblivion of the evils inseparable from great political concussions, while it excites a lively sense of the happy consequences resulting from such a revolution as ours.
Rejoice, ye republicans, worthy of a name so glorious! Soon shall our wise institutions produce those happy effects; then all Frenchmen, united by one sentiment, and taling with rapture the fruits they have gathered, will ever bless the immortal day of the tenth of August.
Let the civic games aid the celebration of this day. Let every citizen open his heart to the most amiable fraternity and the purest joy. Heavenly concord! descend to preside at our festivals, where liberty displays with enthusiasm all the lustre of her charms!

PHOCION—No. VII.
IN the discussion of the charges alleged against Mr. Adams, I have adverted on the unfairness of garbling sentences, and mangling expressions for the purpose of misrepresenting an author's work; and I have adverted to the practice in the courts of judicature in Ireland, in presentations for a libel, where the jury were ordered, "still they have read the whole work."
Will the enlightened citizens of America condemn an old and faithful servant, whom even Hampden files "a pair of eyes" before they have allowed him the means of defence, which are allowed in England to the meanest individual?—Let them read his Defence of the American Constitutions, and I shall be content to abide by their verdict;—but let them spurn, with just contempt, the venomous insinuations of party.
Would Mr. Jefferson consent to have his opinions examined by the rule which has been applied by his partisans to Mr. Adams? Would he acquiesce without appeal in a sentence of condemnation, which should be altogether founded on mangled quotations, and partial extracts from his writings?
The charge against Mr. Adams by Humpden is, that he is an advocate for monarchy and privileged orders; and this charge is said to be founded on certain expressions in his work.
I do not mean to retort with levity the charge, and accuse Mr. Jefferson of being an advocate for monarchy and privileged orders; but I am
warranted in asserting, that, without doing any violence to the context, I can produce, from his writings, particular passages, as much in favour of monarchy and privileged orders, as any passages in Mr. Adams's book.
For example—In speaking of the impolicy of increasing the population of the United States, by encouraging the introduction of foreigners, in page 93 of his Notes on Virginia, he observes, that foreigners will infuse into our government their spirit, &c. by waiting some years longer, our government will be more homogeneous, more peaceable, more durable. He then adds, "Suppose twenty millions of republican Americans, thrown all of a sudden into France, what would be the condition of that kingdom? If it would be more turbulent, less happy, less strong, we may believe, that the addition of half a million of foreigners to our present numbers, would produce a similar effect here."
Now, it is evident, from the above extract, that Mr. Jefferson believed that a monarchical government was the best suited to France, and that sending twenty millions of republican Americans would render France more turbulent, less happy, and less strong. If he thought that twenty millions of American republicans (who are justly reckoned the best republicans on the globe) would disorganize France, and diminish her happiness and her strength, he must have been fully persuaded, that thirty millions of French republicans (who, with all their merits, are certainly inferior to the Americans in the science of self-government) would produce those effects in a much greater degree.
An opinion in favour of monarchy, is then very easily inferred from the foregoing passage.
In page 126, of the same work, in enumerating what he calls the capital defects of the constitution of Virginia, he complains bitterly of the constitution of the senate, as not being sufficiently aristocratic, although the members are chosen for four years, as long a period as in any state in the Union, except Maryland. But he complains, because the senate, and the electors of the senate, do not constitute a different interest from the rest of the community. He says, "The senate is, by its constitution, too homogeneous with the house of delegates; being chosen by the same electors, at the same time, and out of the same subjects, the choice falls of course, on men of the same description. The purpose of establishing different houses of legislation is, to introduce the influence of different interests or different principles. In some of the American states, the delegates and senators are so chosen, as that the first represent the persons, and the second the property of the state: but, with us, wealth and wisdom have an equal chance for admission into both houses. We do not therefore derive, from the separation of our legislature into two houses, those benefits which a proper complication of principles is capable of producing, and those which alone can compensate the evils which may be produced by their dissensions."
Now can there be a stronger recommendation of aristocracy and privileged orders than we find in this passage? He wishes to see introduced into the constitution of Virginia, an influence of interests different from those of the mass of the subjects (as he calls

Mr. FENNO.
It is a common mistake for the writers who attack public characters in order to depreciate them in the eyes of their countrymen, to go too far in their criticisms, and to render all their arguments ineffectual by the falsehood or injustice of a part.
Whether Jefferson is an ambitious man or otherwise, a man courting or shunning popularity, I am not sufficiently acquainted with his disposition to determine, knowing him only from his performances of official duties; and as the degree of his ambition is not thoroughly ascertained, Phocion might have continued to impeach him on this head, without much danger of opposition or detection.
The mind of Jefferson is universally allowed to take rank amongst the first of human beings. He possesses an understanding at once vigorous and active, uniting solidity of reasoning and deep penetration with a happy pliancy of attention that qualifies him for any station, either of executing or devising.
It can indeed offend no man of candor to have the virtues and vices of a candidate fairly displayed, especially of him who aspires to so high a situation as that of President; but the writer who pretends to distrust the mental faculties of Jefferson, is surely a most unfortunate assailant.
As to his philosophy, it is necessary to define the term, before we proceed to condemn him for this pursuit. There are various species of philosophy, and each branch requires a different genius.
After all, Mr. Fenno, I do not profess myself an advocate of Jefferson: and if, as his opponents allege, his principles are what is called democratic or ant federal, my heart rejects him altogether.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO.
The "Certificate of Mr. Jefferson's good behaviour" published in your paper of yesterday, as coming from the Assembly of Virginia, is, I presume, intended to repel the charge against Mr. Jefferson of having abandoned his post when Governor of that state on an invasion of the enemy.
Admitting the certificate to be genuine, of which, however, we have no proof, it is well known how easily such certificates, or votes of thanks, are obtained; generally at the close of the session, when the principal opponents of the measure are gone home, and when others wishing to part in good humour, are easily persuaded to withdraw their opposition.
Besides, the certificate proves nothing as to the point in question, for the charge was a want of firmness; there was no crime in that; the vote of thanks has very cautiously avoided this point; it only speaks of Mr. Jefferson's ability, integrity and rectitude; his ability and integrity as Governor were not called in question; the charge was timidity, and yet the vote says nothing of his firmness, steadiness and perseverance which was the only material point.

"On a due consideration of the various advantages which have been derived to United America from the operations of the Federal Government, there cannot be a friend to his country, that will not exert every nerve to perpetuate such great and solid benefits; but more particularly are the people of PENNSYLVANIA called upon to INVIGORATE a system, that has in so superior a degree contributed to her aggrandizement: There is no calling, no prostration, no walk of life that has not experienced its propitious influence."

BASSETTERRE, (St. Kitt's) September 23. On Sunday last departed this life in the 61st year of his age, the hon. Archibald Eisdale, Esq. President of his Majesty's council of this island, and commander in chief for the time being. The command of the leeward islands devolving on the hon. John Smith Thomas, Esq. as oldest Counsellor, he was actually sworn in on Tuesday last.
A vessel which arrived this day from Martinique brings intelligence, that the fleet from England, under the command of admiral Bligh had arrived at Barbados the 22d inst; and that admiral Colpoys's squadron, with 14,000 troops, were hourly expected. The captain of the above vessel says, that in his way yesterday from Martinique, he saw 15 sail of vessels between Guadalupe and Montserrat.
About two o'clock this forenoon an alarm was fired on the above vessels being discerned. We suppose them to be the ships belonging to Jamaica, that came out with admiral Bligh. If we may credit accounts received by the last mail from Europe, it is in contemplation to place Field Marshal Clairfayt once more at the head of the Austrian army on the Rhine. To have caused him to resign the command in chief of that army appears to us one of the greatest faults committed in the course of the present extraordinary war; as the eminent talents and great experience of that gene-
ral, who saved Germany last year by the most skillful manoeuvres, and whose name struck as much terror into the Republicans as it inspired confidence into the Austrian troops under his orders.

PUBLIC NOTICE.
WHEREAS a certain young man, calling himself JOHN YAPP HYDE, was employed by the Editors of the Delaware and Eastern-Shore Advertiser to collect subscription money, &c. due to the same, and for this purpose went down the Peninsula on the 6th day of August last, where he made collections to a considerable amount—And whereas the time appointed for his return elapsed near six weeks ago, the subscribers are become anxious for the safety of said Hyde, unwilling still to suspect him of falsely betraying his trust, and going off with the money: About the 12th of last month he was at Duck-Creek Cross Roads; since which time he has not been heard of. Whoever will apprehend him, or in orn the Editors of said paper where he is, besides the satisfaction they must feel in stopping the career of so dangerous and bale an enemy to society, will receive the sincere thanks of the Editors, and be cheerfully reimbursed any expence they may incur on the occasion.
Said Hyde was born in England, is but a few months in this country, and taught school near Wilmington—is about 5 feet, 9 or 10 inches high; has an agreeable countenance; short, lightish coloured hair; lips a little; is well spoken, and somewhat commanding or authoritative in his address; is strong and active. He wore a light-blue cloth coat, round hat, &c.

NEW-YORK, October 20.
No Eastern mail this day. Passengers in the stage say there is no further information respecting the French fleet off Halifax.
The celebrated but unfortunate, Chevalier d'Eon, who has recently attracted the public attention by her laudable endeavors to support herself, has been displaying her skill before a crowded and genteel company in the rooms at Southampton. An unfortunate accident damped the pleasure which the general admiration of her skill had excited. The foil of her antagonist breaking as she parried, it entered four inches above the right breast. The company present seemed to take a lively part in the misfortune of the Chevalier, but medical assistance was at hand, and it is hoped the wound may not be dangerous.
The council of elders has rejected the resolution of the council of five hundred, for paying a small part of the demands of the state creditors in specie; so that this unhappy class of men, many of whom have actually died for want of the common necessaries of life, are again left in the most deplorable state of distress.
Some observations of Maillet Lacoste, a French writer, with these remarkable expressions, which probably describe the present state of the nation.
"Divide our history into two parts; examine only the annals of the interior, and we are the lowliest of all people; call your eye on the journal of our armies, and we are the first nation in the world. Honour, then, be to Victory."
Some printed accounts from Vienna, by way of Trieste, represent the aids offered to the Emperor by the Hungarians, as far beyond any former statement; the auxiliaries from that kingdom only (it is said) are to be increased to 150,000 men, including 50,000 cavalry, which the Hungarians were to provide with forage, &c.
The division of the French which has entered Munich amounts to 22,000 men. The elector has sued for a peace; but, as a preliminary, a contribution has been demanded of thirty-two millions of florins.
PARIS, September 8.
BULLETIN.
We are informed by letters of a late date, that the French have re-entered Nuremberg, which they had evacuated, in consequence of the affair of Neumark, and that the Sambre and Meuse army has resumed the positions which it occupied on the 5th and 6th. The head-quarters are again at Bamberg. Other letters inform us, that the French have established, notwithstanding the efforts of the Austrians to prevent them, a battery upon the heights called Swinbrache.

Alexander Berthier, general of division, has sent a list of the prisoners taken by our troops in Italy from the third to the ninth of August. It contains general prince Belkin, 3 colonels, 4 lieutenant colonels, 5 majors, 59 captains, 66 lieutenants, 25 sub-lieutenants, 33 ensigns, 1 adjutant, and 13,450 non-commissioned officers and soldiers; the enemy have also 7 or 8,000 men killed or wounded, and lost a great number by desertion. Four hundred horses belonging to the Hulsars, 82 pieces of artillery, and 210 store waggons have been taken.
Jourdan is about to act on the offensive. His head-quarters are at Cheweinfurt, a town in Franconia. (La Sentinelle.)

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, intituled an act in addition to an act, intituled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and Septem- ber for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thou- sand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital." Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the ori- ginal capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hun- dred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then ade- quate, according to the contract, for the final redemp- tion of the said stock." 2d. All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the estab- lishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above de- scribed, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz. KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that I, _____ do make, constitute and appoint my true and lawful At- torney, for me, and in my name, to receive the dividends which are, or shall be payable according to law, on the (here describing the stock) funding in my name in the bank of (here describing the books of the Treasury or the Commissioner of Loans, where the stock is credited) from (here insert the com- mencement and expiration of time for which the power of attorney is to continue) with power also an attorney or attor- neys under him, for that purpose to make and substitute, and to do all lawful acts requisite for effecting the premises, hereby ratifying and confirming all that my said Attorney or his substitute, shall lawfully do, by virtue hereof. In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand and Seal the day of _____ in the year Sealed and Delivered in presence of, BE IT KNOWN, that on the _____ day of _____ 1796, before me personally came _____ within named and acknowledged the above letter of attorney to be his act and deed.

To the Merchants of the United States. IN the year 1793, a French gentleman at Bourdeaux, shipped on board an American vessel 165 tons of mer- chandise, to be delivered at Cape-Francis, either to himself or his orders. The captain signed the bill of lading; and instead of proceeding to Cape-Francis, went directly to Aux-Cayes; and there, instead of depositing the whole of the said cargo in the hands of the admiral- ty, or any other person authorized by law, he concealed its belonging to a French gentleman, and sold part of it, without orders, power, or authority, as belonging to himself. After remaining five months at Aux-Cayes, and not being able to sell the whole of said merchandise, he left twelve thousand dollars worth of it unfold in the hands of an American merchant, at said place; of which he passed a pretended sale, for fear that the owner should come and claim it, or have it seized. Seventeen months after his departure from Bourdeaux, the said captain ar- rived on the continent, where the owner of said cargo had gone in pursuit of him. He produced his bills of lading, invoice, &c. and demanded their contents. The said captain answered that he did not know him, that he had no papers, &c. he was arrested, and gave security for his appearance. After eighteen months, during which the said captain had been urged to leave the affair to arbitration, to which he would never consent; but just as the superior court were about to pronounce judgment, his attorney, &c. insisted that this business should be left to arbitration. The said owner, at the request of many persons, at last consented to this new arrangement. The court appointed three arbitrators, of which notice was given them ten times. Out of the five, three came to- gether at a time, twice in six months, tho' earnestly re- quested to do it. The arbitrators decided, that not being furnished with sufficient proof, on each side, they could not come to a final decision. This sentence was passed at the moment when the court was sitting, when it was too late to have the cause determined by the present court; so it must be postponed another six months, which will make thirty months detention to obtain a judgment upon a bill of lading, invoice, &c. The arbitrators decide, that a bill of lading, invoice, &c. to which the captain makes no objection, are not a suffi- cient proof for condemnation. The said proprietor will thank any merchant of the United States to inform him what further proof it will be necessary to produce to prevent another detention of thirty months. N. B. At New-York, a charge of a similar nature, without any other proof than those above-mentioned, was brought against the same captain, another French gen- tlemen; which was decided by three arbitrators, in fifteen days; and said captain was condemned to pay with- out reply—which he did. Any communication on the above subject, addressed to Race-Street, No. 90, will be thankfully received. Philadelphia, Oct. 17. 3t
