At the Federal Blast Furnace, In Carver—for Slitting, Plattng, and Rolling MILLS. SEYMOUR'S Patent Rollers. THEIR superiority consists in being free from holes and honey-combed places, which are commonly found in rollers cast in sand, or clay moulds. These patent rollers are cast in iron moulds, previously heated, and will be found to be more dense, solid and durable than any rollers heretofore used. Another important advantage they have over others, is, that the necks require no turning, but are immediately fit for use, and require less water to make them perform their work. They may be had by application to the Patentee in Plymouth, of Gen. Nathaniel Goodwin, or of Messrs. Thatcher and Hayward. Boston, Aug. 31. Sept. 19.—$6t.

JOHN MORRELL, Captain.
To the MILITIA of PHILADELPHIA.
AN order from the adjutant-general of the militia of Pennsylvania announces, that in consequence of an intimation only from the Governor, some of you are to be called on to parade, in honor of the President of the United States! In thus honouring the first magistrate of a free people, we honor ourselves. It is not necessary to enquire from whence the power was derived, for issuing this order. The Governor is constitutionally, the commander in chief; and to the constitution he is amenable; and none but traitors and paricides will question, or oppose his authority in this respect. Like him we are free men, and subject to the laws and the constitution; but that constitution has given him a right to command us, as a part of the militia of the state. No friend to our country will dispute that authority; such opposition will be setting up an authority unknown to the laws and the constitution, which is worse than to revert to a state of nature.
The object of this order is to show our respect to a magistrate of our own electing, our attachment to the constitution of the United States, and that the seat of government possesses equal patriotism with other parts of the union, which have paid such distinguished honours to the patriot whose public services merit every acknowledgement of a grateful people.
Are you not men, citizens, soldiers! Have you not rights, privileges, property and honor to defend? Is not the constitution on your own work? Are not the magistrates, the guardians of that constitution, those rights and privileges your own choice? At a moment when the demons of anarchy and confusion would lay every thing prostrate, are not your countenance and support necessary to encourage and animate your public officers, to stand firm in the support of that independence, peace, liberty and safety which the constitution was adopted to secure? Citizens, this is an honorable testimony of your attachment to your government. The wretches who inculcate a contrary doctrine, would make you slaves indeed.
What has the President done, has been asked by a contemptible organ of the faction; that faction, which has done nothing but degrade the country for the last seven years. What has he done—consult the records of a long and arduous life. A life of labours for the public good. Consult the written and printed annals of your country. They are replete with testimonials of the most important benefits ever conferred by any individual on a country.
When the illustrious Washington was received with the civil and military honors of the city, the same paraded arts were employed to arrest the noble and independent testimonials of your attachment to the father of his country—but the efforts were blasted—they were vain. The head of the faction sunk abashed.
Irie for the sons of sedition and faction alone, to say that they will spurn the orders of government; full well have they experienced the bitter effects of their anarchical principles. May they continue to drink deep of the cup of chagrin and mortification. Believe it, fellow-citizens, your honor, peace, liberty and property are secure, only in proportion as such persons are without influence.
The service proposed, is a voluntary service. It can be grateful only on that idea. Independent however of every other consideration it is a duty of policy. Philadelphia, adds an honorable testimony to those of the Eastern states, of her attachment to the government, by paying public respect to the President. She conciliates the good opinion of the other members of the union; and demonstrates that she is worthy the honor and privilege of being the seat of government. Her citizens have been distinguished for their federalism; and it has been her peculiar good fortune generally to baffle the designs of that junto, whose efforts are perpetually directed to her degradation.
MR. PENNO.
The following inscriptions are to be met with on a public road, in the county of Northampton, in Pennsylvania:—
"This bridge, was built in the year 1795 over Hokenoddy; kreek 15 miles from Easttown Conrad Dieter
"This bridge, was built in the year of our Lord 1795: commissioners to it, was John Proffman, and Jacob Heller; and John Horn; and the builder of it, was Michael Langenbach."
It is much to be wished that those who undertake to write inscriptions for our public bridges, might first learn something of spelling and punctuation.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 7.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Mary, Capt. Allen, in 45 days from London.
By this arrival we are furnished with LONDON PAPERS as late as the 18th of September, from which the most important intelligence is extracted.
A gentleman who came passenger informs, that he saw a London paper at the Downs, of the 20th Sept. in which it was announced that the negotiations at Lille had been abruptly terminated, and that Lord Malmesbury was returned to England re infectu.
This event is rendered highly probable by the tenor of our accounts of the 14th Sept. this day published; from which it appears, that a categorical answer had been required of his Lordship to the last proposition. The purport of this proposition we do not know; but it was probably one to which the English minister had refused previously to accede—and as he is not of a character to be dragged into a compliance, we think his return indubitable. (N.Y.Gaz.)
LONDON, Sept. 12.
We enter on the duty of detailing the extraordinary event that occurred on Monday last in Paris, with emotions which it is not easy to describe. It is a proceeding which in every view, either of gigantic interest in its consequences, or of audacious character in its design, has scarcely a parallel since the commencement of the revolution itself, and it is impossible to speak of it in the language which applies to ordinary events. It may be asserted that there are occasions in the political as well as the physical combinations of life, when all principles must yield to imperious necessity, and when all the rules of moral conduct are set at defiance. The admission of this axiom is all that the most odious tyranny demands for the justification of every excess; and it is certain that it is sufficient to take from the most settled society every assurance that it can frame for its own independence. With this short observation, we preface the narrative of the new revolution in France. We shall faithfully lay before our readers every thing that the Triumvirate has said in justification of the measure it so secretly contrived, and vigorously carried into execution; our readers will thereby be able to decide whether the circumstances of the republic were such as to create the pretended necessity which supercedes all law; or whether it was merely a cabal of personal interests, in which a struggle for ascendancy is exalted into a shock for the deliverance of the people.
The genuine friends of liberty in every country of the world, who are the steady and impartial spectators of this astonishing scene, and a severe posterity, free from all the passions which blind the performers, will pronounce judgment on the act. It is for us to furnish the materials. The blow was struck between three and four o'clock on Monday morning the 4th September. The confusion of dates from their new division of the year, made our correspondent call the 17th Fructidor, the 4th, when it should have been the 3d of September. We yesterday morning received the following letters up to the 21st Fructidor, or Thursday last, the 17th inclusive.
Paris, 19 Fructidor, Sept. 5.
The explosion has at last taken place.—The events of yesterday are of the greatest importance. I am going to relate them in order as they happened:
During the night of the 17th, the commission of inspectors, with several members of both councils, had assembled in the hall of 500 at the Thuilleries. At midnight General Lemoine (others say Moulin) appeared at the gate of the Pont-tournant, which leads into the garden of the Thuilleries from the square of the revolution, at the head of a considerable detachment, and demanded admittance, which was refused him by Ramel, commander of the guard of the legislative body. But upon the general's ordering two pieces of cannon to advance, and the grenadiers at the same time declaring against their commander, the gate was opened and Ramel arrested. The general then proceeded to the Manège, where the members were deliberating, and found there Rovere, Bourdon de l'Oise, Pichegru, Willot and several others, all of which he immediately arrested. Pichegru and Willot made some resistance, but were immediately seized and disarmed; and it is even said, that Pichegru is grievously wounded. At the same time Barthelmy was arrested at the Directory; but Carnot had contrived to make his escape.
Before the execution of this blow, the Directory had taken care to have all the bridges, the square of the revolution, the avenues leading to the Thuilleries, and the most considerable posts of the city occupied by strong detachments of troops, with cannon.
In the mean while general Angereau repaired to the barracks where the grenadiers of the legislative body were quartered, and, having assembled them, asked them if they would follow him: to which they all answered with one voice Yes. They then demanded to see their ci-devant commander Ramel, and degraded him by pulling off his epaulets, and then marched to offer their services to the Directory.
The walls were covered with different papers posted up by order of the Directory; copies of which you will find in the inclosed Redacteur.
At seven the arrested deputies were conveyed in six or seven carriages to the temple.
At 12, in consequence of an advertisement posted on the doors of both councils, the council of 500 assembled at the Odeon,
the ancient French theatre near the director, and the elders at the school of surgery, not far from thence.
The Faubourg St. Antoine, well armed, evidently by preconcert, came and offered their services to the directory and both councils. They were thanked, and invited to repair to their respective occupations. Before they returned home they drew up in the Rues des Francs Bourgeois, where gen. Angereau passed along the line, and was received with the loudest acclamations. They afterwards retired very peaceably.
During the whole day the bridges and chief posts were guarded by the troops; the streets, especially about the directory and the councils, were crowded with incredible numbers of inquisitive persons, who seemed to be guided by no other motive than curiosity. Not the least outrage was committed, and the utmost order and tranquillity reigned in every quarter of the city.
At 6 in the evening the directory answered the message of the council of five hundred, by sending papers relative to the conspiracy. [These papers we have already mentioned.]
During the night the commission of five made report on the measures to be adopted in the present conjuncture, and proposed a project of a resolution, which you will find in the Moniteur.
The only uneasiness now entertained is from the friends of the constitution of '93, or if you will, the Mountaineers; but it is assured that the directory has positively refused to join them.
The barriers still remain shut. It is presumed that there are 12 or 15 thousand troops at Paris, while all the issues from that city are completely blocked up by 25,000 men, distributed around at the distance of 5 leagues, so that it is impossible for any person to escape.
No news hitherto of Carnot. Some say he has shot himself, while others pretend he was killed by some people who attempted to arrest him.
It is now one o'clock. Every thing is remarkably quiet.
From the Stinelle.—A gun-smith, Rue Croix-des-petits Champs, has been arrested. This villain has confessed, on his examination, that the royal commissioners of Louis XVIII. had purchased from him 700 muskets, on bono, signed with the initial letters R. . . . The whole has been seized and confiscated, and the proofs and papers are now at the Bureau Central."
20 Fructidor, Sept. 6.
Never since the beginning of the revolution was a plan carried on with more caution, or executed with more celerity, than the famous measure taken by the directory on the 18th inst. This will appear evident to any person who considers that the majority of the directory, while they were preparing every thing for such an important blow, had to baffle the vigilance not only of their colleagues, Carnot (a man of superior abilities) and Barthelmy, but also to deceive the numerous spies employed by their enemies in both councils. So great was the secrecy with which all their measures were concerted, that they had actually marched a considerable body of troops (some say 10,000 men) into Paris, surrounded that city on every side at the distance of 5 leagues, occupied every important post, and arrested their enemies, within the space of two hours, without any one's having had previously the least suspicion of the matter, and almost without noise. It was not known till every thing was over. It is true that the anti-directorial journalists had repeatedly denounced to the public a plot, resembling in some few particulars the plan executed by the directory, but as they had been often obliged to retract their assertions, and to invent reasons in order to explain why the execution had been deferred, they at last fell into the predicament of their lying shepherd in the fable—Nobody believed them when they told the truth. So minute were the preparations taken by the directory, that the prisoners of the temple had been removed the day before, and that house of detention cleared for the reception of the members who were to be arrested.
Gen. Moulin, and not Lemoine, was the officer who, on the night of the 17th, or rather on the morning of the 18th, obtained admittance into the garden of the Thuilleries, through the gate of the Pont Tournant, and arrested the members then assembled.
The same day (18th) about 12 o'clock, Lafond Ladebat, president of the ancients, and Simeon, president of the council of 500, followed by some members, appeared at the doors of their respective councils, and demanded admittance, which being refused them, they adjourned to a house in the Rue St. Honore, and drew up a protestation; but the fear of being arrested soon forced them to disperse.
That day the theatres shut up, but opened the next. This evening, pursuant to an invitation given from the directory, the actors of the opera celebrated the victory obtained by the Republic over the attacks of Royalty, by giving the Ofrande a la Liberté and the Marseillaise.
The law annulling the election of several departments, and ordering the emigrants to quit Paris, &c. having passed through the necessary formalities, has been promulgated to day, and posted upon the walls; so that it is expected very few emigrants will be found in Paris to-morrow evening.
Carnot has not been taken as yet, some say he has been killed; others, that he has killed himself.
It was reported this morning at the council of ancients, that Dumourier and Bouille are at Paris, that the latter has been arrested, and that every precaution is taken to discover the former.
No. 8 of the democratic constitutional has appeared to day. He violently inveighs against Merlin de Thionville for having proposed that Antonette and Felix Lepelletier should be included in the decree of transportation, and accuses that member of attack-
ing the true patriots under the name of anar-chists. This makes some people imagine that the Mountain is beginning anew to raise its head: But it appears that the directory and a majority of both councils are resolved to keep it down. Time will tell. In the mean while it seems, that the victorious party is resolved not to spill one drop of blood, and to use as lenient measures as the nature of circumstances will permit.
What will serve to confirm our former observations on the trade of this city, is that the public inscriptions which on the eve of the explosion were so low as seven, rose the two days following to 13, a rise ascribed to the firmness and vigor displayed by the government. This day at two o'clock they fell to 10, owing to some apprehensions of a new commotion.
Among the different persons spoken of as being to fill the two vacant places in the directory, the most remarkable are, Merlin, minister of justice; general Jourdan, Robert Lindet, Garat and Talleyrand Périgord.
21 Fructidor, Sept. 7. Among the different objects seized in the place where the members of the commission were arrested by general Moulin, were a considerable number of swords and daggers with hilts half red and half black, several packets of cards signed Rovere, a new dress for the deputies, and a chest containing 40,000 livres.
The prisoners of the temple dine together, and communicate freely with one another; but are allowed no communication with the outside.
They appear very airy, especially general Pichegru; Bourdon de l'Oise is the only one amongst them that appears dejected. Those not included in the transportation list have been set at liberty. It is even assured that Thibadeau was at the sitting of yesterday.
By a decree of yesterday evening, the journalists whose arrest had been ordered by the directory, have been condemned to be transported, and the directory authorized to make domiciliary visits in order to discover the retreats of such as have not been arrested.
From the Ami des Lois, citizen Betami, living in Rue St. Logare, No. 179, has written the following letter, dated the 18th:
"Yesterday, about 3 o'clock, a man whom I do not know, came to me on the part, as he said, of the brother and secretary of general Pichegru, and offered me a musket, pistols, a sword, and a good reward, provided I would assist at carrying off Pichegru from the temple. I told him that I would consider about it. They told me they were very numerous and sure of success. He teased me very much, but to get rid of him, I answered yes. He wrote down my name, and said he would call again. They know me, as I served under Pichegru, and went to see him from time to time. But I will never betray the republic."
From the Journal des Hommes Libres—We read in the declaration of Duverne de Presle the following remarkable passage:
"There is a foreign party who expect the future assistance of Spain. At the head of this party are M. M. de la Vauguyon and d'Entragues. I will give their means of correspondence with the Interior. The members of this party think the king of Spain is for them, and among other particulars, the marquis de las Casas."
"Now we must observe, that of the individuals mentioned in the above phrase, La Vauguyon has been at Paris this long time. His intrigues were known by the diplomatic body, and he himself is not signified among the conspirators lately fallen. Another, viz. Las Casas, remained in England notwithstanding the rupture with Spain, under pretence of an illness that has lasted till now, and arrived yesterday in Paris in high style, at the Hotel d'Orleans, rue des Petits Augustins."
Barruel Bauvert, author of the Actes des Apolles, and Richer Serezy, author of the Accusateur Public, have been arrested. The ex-deputy Chiappe, attempting to get into the temple in order to speak to general Pichegru, was sent by general Dutertre, commandant of the temple, to general Augereau's head-quarters, and then arrested and sent to prison.
The report of the arrest of Bouille and Dumourier is not confirmed.
The day before yesterday the constitutional circle held a meeting at the hotel de Montmorency.
Yesterday the barriers were opened, and the troops withdrawn from the bridges. Places of public resort, such as the Palais Royal, the Champs Elises, the Garden of the Thuilleries, &c. are as crowded as ever; coaches and cabriolets roll about the streets as usual. In short, every thing wears the aspect of the greatest tranquillity.
The Journal des Hommes Libres, says that the directory has ordered 12,000 men more to march to Paris.
* We can from personal knowledge vouch for the accuracy of the following. The Marquis De Las Casas is still in England. The Obsequies of Las Casas has not certainly been detained by illness, and he went to Paris only with the last faint hope of consulting a German physician, who is eminent for the cure of his particular disorder. We believe he is too far gone for any human aid.
We have given this account of the proceedings, because it is more particular than any we have seen in the few journals which have been suffered to pass over into England. The Moniteur gives the same narrative very concisely. The Redacteur is still more brief in its relation of the manner of the arrest of the members, and the shutting up of the Councils. It makes ample amends, however, by furnishing us with all the documents upon which the Directory have grounded their proceedings. They are too important to be curtailed.

COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
Sitting of Sept. 7.
ADDRESS
of the Legislative Body to the French nation.
Sept. 7.
The council of five hundred taking into
consideration the extraordinary and critical circumstances in which the Republic is placed, and deeming it the duty of the legislative body to make known to the French people the plots which have been formed for the purpose of enslaving them and subverting the republican constitution of the Third Year—to declare its own sentiments and hopes, and at the same time to put the nation on its guard against the manoeuvres which may be attempted to mislead it by the accomplices of the conspirators, has therefore agreed to the following resolution:
Article I.—The legislative body concurs in an address to the armies and departments, the purport of which is as follows:—
"FRENCHMEN, "It is incumbent on us to declare the truth to you, and we proceed to acquaint ourselves of that duty.
"A conspiracy which had for its object the establishment of a throne in France, and of privileges and grievances a thousand times more odious than those which had been abolished by your will—a conspiracy always unmasked, but never destroyed, had again brought the Republic to the brink of ruin. The government, by its wisdom and firmness, baffled the execution of it at the very moment that it was on the point of breaking out. But one night more and our country would have been plunged into eternal mourning—but one night more, and arbitrary despotism would have raised her hideous head, and erected her usurpation on the carcass of those, who, more or less, had served the cause of liberty.
"Men who had thirsted for the popular power with the false view of exercising it again, the people were for a long time engaged in planning the execution of that execrable project. The greater part, (Chiefs of the insurgents of Vendôme) emboldened by impunity, had resumed their plots. They corresponded more actively with the agents of the pretended Louis XVIII. The confessions of one of these agents, (Duverne de Presle) prove it. Their letters seized at Venice, their communications with the emigrants and the principal rebels prove it. All the documents are made public. The means by which they promised to execute their designs were—1. The annihilation of all public and national spirit. 2. The assassination of every one whom they treated as suspected of patriotism, and impunity to be granted to the assassins by tribunals sold to royalty. 3. The extinction of the financial resources of the state. 4. The abatement of the government and republican institutions. 5. A civil war lighted up in different parts of the Republic. 6. The destruction of internal security, and the interception of all communication through the country. 7. The distress of the landholder, the mechanic and the soldier. 8. A vigorous fabrication of all laws subversive of the constitution.
"This object and these means will not surprise, when you shall learn by the authentic pieces which have been found, that their appointments, previously ordered and regulated by counter-revolutionary officers in almost every department, proceeded from a general plan formed and organized under the name of the society of LEGITIMATE CHILDREN, a society, one of whose laws was the most absolute and the blindest devotion on the part of its members to the orders of their unknown chief.
"We will not remind you citizens of the deplorable success which has resulted from their combinations. In April, a Peace, an honorable and solid Peace smiled on our wishes—it is removed to a greater distance. Could it have been raised on a land convulsed and ready to cover itself with blood and ruins? The national credit began to acquire consistency; the public creditors were on the point of being paid, there were no arrears due to the armies, when suddenly misery and penury returned and spread themselves over France; the stockholder was in despair, the inscriptions at 40 livres fell to 10, the armies were without pay or clothing. Those armies which triumphed over Europe, were, O shameful and sorrowful reflection! compelled to submit, either by requisitions, or by the prodigal of their courage; and yet a hideous laugh escaped from the lips of the partisans of the counter-revolution; they every day saw the embarrassments of the government increase, and they every day increased it themselves. The most far-fetched explanations, and the most impudent perfidy were deemed good means, for the attainment of their end. The adherents of fanaticism were recalled, a shameful and public traffic of the creature of emigrants was declared; the citizens terrified at their proceedings, met together, but that right was prohibited. Arms were distributed, poignards made, several were seized with rallying orders, and registers for enrolling names were opened. O Country! O sweet and noble sentiment of liberty, generous incentives of honor and of national pride, what became of you? O names so often proclaimed, of justice, morality, humanity, of social and public virtues, where did you take refuge? They existed with the armies!"
"(The address, after stating the facts resulting from the inference of the armies with the transactions of the 4th inst. and entreating the public opinion not to be misled with respect to the conduct of the directory, which it asserts has finally established the constitution of the third year, and put a period to the revolution concludes in the following manner:—)
"With respect to you, Frenchmen, it depends on your union and on your confidence to encourage us to proceed. Relaxed shortly to our customary labors, all our cares shall be employed in making breaches which it was the business of our enemies to widen.
"The restoration of the finances, of commerce, of industry, and agriculture; the relief of the indigent classes, of the hospitals, and the creditors or the state; the debts due to the immortal defenders of our country shall claim our first attention. Peace also, that consoling peace, obtained by victory will also come, we hope to consolidate all our triumphs, and repair all our losses. But if on the contrary the enemy should persevere in accelerating his own destruction, let the union of all good citizens and their attachment to the constitution of the third year produce in him despair, and prove the pledge of his approaching ruin."
"Frenchmen, the unity of action is re-established between the two great powers; not that kind of unity which might result from the dependence of the one upon the other, but that which is produced by the harmony of reciprocal wishes. We have laid before you our conduct and our principles. Our lives are wholly devoted to the maintenance of the republic: we shall not tell you that we are ready to lose them in combating every fashion, but we solemnly swear to you that we will overcome them."
Article II.—The law of the 4th shall be annexed to this resolution, and proclaimed with it in all the departments and in the armies of the republic."
SITTING OF SEPT. 10.
A second message from the directory announcing to the council, the receipt of the following letter from General Moreau, addressed to citizen Barthelmy:
The General in Chief of the army of the Rhine and Moselle, to Citizen Barthelmy, member of the Executive Directory of the French Republic.
"Head quarters at Strasbourg, 19th Fructidor (September 5.)"
"CITIZEN DIRECTOR, "You will no doubt recollect, that on my last

journey to Bath I informed you, that at the palace of the Rhine, where we found about 2 or 300 letters of his correspondence, those of Voltaire were among them; but they were the least important. Many of them were in cypher; they shall all be deciphered, but this will take much time.
No one goes in this correspondence by his true name, so that several Frenchmen, who correspond with Klinglin, Comte, Wickham, d'Enghein and others, cannot easily be detected. However, we are in possession of such informations as will let us discover many of them.
"I was determined not to give publicity to this correspondence, since peace being likely to be concluded, no danger could arise from thence for the republic; and besides, no one being named, but little could be proved by these letters."
"But seeing at the head of the parties which do so much mischief to our country, a man, placed in an eminent station, and enjoying the utmost confidence; who is much compromised in this correspondence, and desired to act a prominent part in the restoration of the Pretender, I have thought it my duty to inform you of it, that you may not be deceived by his pretended republicanism; but on the contrary, watch his conduct, and ward off the misfortunes he may bring over our country, since a civil war cannot but be the aim of his projects."
"I confess, Citizen Director, that it is a painful task for me to acquaint you with this treason, since the man whom I unmask to you, was my friend, and would fain be so, if I did not know him; I allude to the representative of the people, Pichegru. He has been prudent enough not to write himself; he only communicated by word of mouth with those who were entrusted with the correspondence, who stated his projects and received his answers. He gave herby several names, and among others that of Baptiste. A chief of brigade, called Baillouill, was attached to him, and went by the name of Coen; this man was one of the couriers employed by him as well as by his correspondents. You will recollect to have seen him often at Paris."
"Their great movement was to take place at the beginning of the campaign of the 4th year; they relied on disorders happening on my arrival at the army, which, indignant at its defeat, was to demand back its former commander, who then would have acted pursuant to the instructions he had received."
"The sum of 200,000 Livres d'Or was to be paid him for the journey he made to Paris at the time of his dismissal; this naturally accounts for his having refused the embassy to Sweden. I rather suspect the family of Lajolais was implicated in this intrigue."
"Nothing but the great confidence I place in your patriotism and wisdom, has induced me to give you this intelligence. The proofs on which it is founded are as clear as day, but I doubt whether they would do in a court of justice."
"I request you, Citizen Director, to guide me for your advice in this arduous business. It is hitherto known but by five persons, namely, Generals Defaÿs and Reignier, one of my aid-de-camps, and an officer entrusted with the secret department of the army, who is continually purifying the information contained in the letters which are deciphered."
"Please to accept the assurances of my respect and inviolable attachment."
(Signed) "MOREAU," The letter was read, and ordered to be printed for the use of the members.
Sitting of September 8. A message from the Council of Elders having announced that the resolution entered into yesterday relative to the oath to be taken by the members of the new third, had passed into a law, it was instantly proposed that the oath should be taken on the spot. This motion being agreed to, the members who were present ascended the tribune, and swore hatred against royalty and anarchy, and fidelity and attachment to the constitution of the 3d year.
The ex-general Jourdan added, "I swear it on my sword."
Sitting of September 9. Guyvernier made a report in the name of a special commission, at the end of which he presented the following project:
Art. 1. No ci-devant noble shall perform any legislative, administrative, municipal or judiciary function, nor hold the place of a Director, till four years after the conclusion of a general peace.
Art. 2. Every ex-noble holding any of the above places, shall resign it within 24 hours from the publication of this resolution, on pain of being banished the republic and his property sequestrated.
Art. 3. Excepted from this law are the ci-devant nobles who were members of the first legislative assembly or of the convention or obtained their places before the 14 Vendemiaire of the fourth year.—Ordered to be printed, and adjourned.
Sitting of September 10. Villers, in the name of the commission of finance, made a general report on that object, and investigated the means of remedying the deficits in which that part of the administration was involved. Among the measures which he proposed was a stamp duty on petitions addressed to the Legislative Body and to the constituted authorities, another of five centimes a sheet on the newspapers, periodical publications, polling bills, &c. a bono on patents, the reëstablishment of a lottery, &c. At the end of the report, Villers presented the project of a resolution, stating the ordinary and extraordinary services of the year, at from 6 to 616 millions.
After some observations from Chollet and Fabre, the Council ordered the printing of the report and the project, the objects of which are to be discussed to-morrow, and the following days.
COUNCIL OF ELDERS.
Sitting of Sept. 6.
The sitting being resumed at one o'clock in the afternoon, Marbot was elected President.
Lacombe Saint Michel made a report on the resolution of the 23d ult. relative to the pay of dismissed officers, and tending to force them to quit Paris, and to expect the payment of the above arrears in their respective communes."
"Yes," said Lacombe, "gallant soldiers of every description, you shall know, that a faction as powerful as hypocritical, intended to remove you from the place where the government resides, which you have found and maintained—you shall know that it assembled these emigrants, fanatical priests, in short, the whole horde of royalist conspirators, to overthrow the republic. It was reserved to one of the generals of the army
of Italy to defeat this conspiracy without one drop of blood being shed."
"With what astonishment will Europe learn, that the celebrated general who once led our phalanxes to victory, sold the Republic to a Bourbon. Let Pichegru and his accomplices no longer defile the territory of liberty—let them carry their remorse to the scorched soil of Africa."
"May the 18th Fructidor, (Sept. 4) be the dawn of the finest days of the Republic!—may our deluded colleagues return!—our hearts and arms are open to receive them. Let us all unite to save the republic!"
Lacombe moved, that the resolution be rejected.
The council rejected the resolution, and ordered the report to be printed.
Sitting of the 10th.
The council received, and immediately approved of a resolution passed yesterday, which stated that all the armies having by their conduct and addresses, contributed to the transactions of the 4th of September, had deserved well of their country.
PARIS, September 11.
The deputies condemned to transportation, left Paris yesterday morning at 4 o'clock, in covered waggons under a very strong guard. Some say they are to be sent to Cayenne, others to Madagascar.
Several emigrants of distinction have been arrested. The number of passports which the Central Bureau continues to grant exceeds credibility.
According to the reports which were in circulation three days ago, the half of France was in flames. Lyons, it was said, had revolted, the department of l'Isère was in a state of insurrection, and the war in La Vendée was kindled up again. The news received from the neighbouring departments is, however, directly the reverse: the Executive Directory has received addresses of congratulation from several. The intelligence of what happened on the 4th inst. caused the liveliest joy at Rouen, and every wise measure was taken to secure the emigrants, the priests, and the agents of Louis XVIII. at Lyons, which has constantly been the hot bed of superstition and of royalty.
It is probable that the 4th of September will be considered in all the departments as an epoch which consolidates the true interests of the Republic, and rescues the constitution from the chains with which it was oppressed.—(Le Surveillant.)
LONDON, September 15.
The new Directors, as we have already stated, are, Merlin of Douay, and Francois de Neufchateau, the former of whom, after having been privy to most of the massacres which have stained the revolution, in the true hypocritical cant of a Cromwell, assumes the character of humility in his address to the Directory on accepting his new office and says—"I cannot approach the duties of it without a religious trembling. What ought to be my anxiety and fear in being placed so near to you, Citizen Directors, around whom the beams of glory shine with such transcendent splendor."
In the Redacteur of the 11th is a letter, signed Moreau, addressed to Barthelemy, which the Directory has sent to the two Councils to render it the more public. This letter is dated Starbrough, Sept. 5, and incloses some pretended correspondence found in the trunks of the Austrian General Klinglin, many months since, in which General Pichegru's name is mentioned as being in the league with the Prince de Conde and other emigrants. As this secret has been long in Moreau's possession, we can only account for his having published it at the period he did in order to save himself at the expense of his friend Pichegru, who he might have heard was arrested. We must leave it to future historians to account for a man of Moreau's acknowledged bravery, meanly attempting to save his own existence by sacrificing his bosom friend. We have inserted the letter at length, as it is extremely fit to be bound up with the pretended correspondence of the Chev. d'Entragues.
In the Annales Politiques of the 11th, it is mentioned that news is arrived from General Berthier, of the treaty of peace with the Emperor being signed; but as this report is not confirmed in the succeeding number, we considered it to be premature.
Among the first petitions presented to the new Council (not of five hundred, because one half the members are either transferred or fled) is an address from the deserters of the army and other vagabonds confined in the prison St. Pelagie, praying to be released, that they may fight the enemies of their country. Their petition was ordered for the inquiry of the military commission. The next petition will probably be from the Galley-Slaves of Brell.
Yesterday morning lieutenant General Sir Ralph Abercrombie arrived in town from the West Indies. We understand that he is to be appointed commander in Chief in Ireland.
Merlin of Douay, the son of a peasant, was taken into a house of a religious community as a servant boy. On discovering a quickness of talents, and a desire for learning, he was taught to read and write, and afterwards officiated as an attendant at the celebration of mass. He was thence sent to college, and became an advocate of the Parliament of Douay. He purchased, previous to the revolution, the title of Secretaire du Roi, for the purpose of obtaining rank, and afterwards attached himself to the faction of Orleans. In all the stages of the revolution, he has shown himself a most bloodthirsty villain, and is supposed to have been a principal plotter in the late revolution. His character is extremely well suited to that of his colleagues.
Six ships of the line, including the flag ship, are the force ordered out to join Admiral Earl St. Vincent's squadron on the Portugal station; two of the new bomb ketches are also to accompany them.
PLYMOUTH Sept. 12. This morning arrived here, the Lurcher cutter of 12 guns, Lieut. Betts, from a cruise off Brell, with the loss of the head of her stern; also arrived with her the Danish bark Tordenkiold, of Christians, 11. Parks master, from Bordeaux, bound to Altona (but stopped at Brell) laden with wine; she was detained the 8th inst. close in with the entrance of Brell harbor, by commodore Duckworth's squadron, consisting of the following ships, viz. Leviathan, of 74 guns, Commodore Duckworth; the Pompee, of 80 guns, Capt. Valsen; 3 Aspins, of 44 guns, Capt. Durham; Melcombe, of 44 guns, Capt. Hamilton; Childers, of 14 guns, Capt. O'Brien; Dolly, of 8 guns, Lieut. Watson, and the Lurcher, of 14 guns, Lieut. Betts. The same squadron has captured two doggers and one schooner, laden with brandy, wine, and soap, and a Danish ship with 16 Brabantman on board; they received information from the captured vessels, that the French have 19 sail of the line in Brell water, ready for sea except a total want of sailors to navigate them.
PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 13.
Arrived this evening his Majesty's frigates Arethusa, of 38 guns, Capt. Wolley, from the West-Indies, with General Sir R. Abercrombie on board. The General has landed, and is going immediately for London.
The Arethusa, captured Le Gatte French corvette, of 20 guns, on the 10th of August, after an obstinate engagement for three quarters of an hour, during which the corvette had 9 men killed and wounded, and the frigate 3, one of whom was killed. The corvette arrived with the Arethusa, and a Dutch West-India ship, laden with cotton, indigo, &c. valued at 30,000 l. hourly expected, also captured by the Arethusa.
The rebuffs brings the very pleasant news that the pestilential fever that has so long raged in that quarter, is in a great measure subsided, and that all military operations are at a stand.
NEW-YORK, November 6.
From the Commercial Advertiser.
The storm which has been so long hanging over France, has at length burst. The call of the troops to Paris and the violent addresses of the armies were only the precursors of the explosion. Three members of the directory, Larévellière Lepaux, Rewbel and Barras have been taking measures to stifle what they call a conspiracy of the royalists, and having secured a large military force and barred the gates of Paris, they ordered their two colleagues, Barthelemy and Carnot to be arrested—Carnot was not found—Barthelemy is arrested, with Pichegru, Willot, Dumolard, and other members of the Councils. The papers, which are called proofs of their guilt, have been published, and without trial, a number of the members of the Councils and the two Directors, are condemned to banishment.—The prisoners were immediately sent off to Rochfort to be embarked, either for the East or West Indies. The detail of these events is too important to be curtailed.
At present, we shall make but one remark to satisfy inquiries how far this revolution may affect the United States: and this is, that those members of the directory and legislature who have openly reprobated the conduct of the French government towards this country, are among the fallen and proscribed party; and our bitterest enemy, Merlin, minister of Justice, is elected one of the Directory. Appearances are therefore extremely unfavorable; but perhaps the cloud may be dissipated. We must wait for further intelligence, before we can form a decided opinion on the fate of the proposed negotiation.
Among the exiled deputies we notice Barbe Marbois, of the Council of Elders, formerly consul in the United States.
The British frigate Doris, of 36 guns, Lord Ranelagh, has taken, after a smart action, off Ireland, the French privateer Le Fabin, of 20 guns and 140 men.
From the Daily Advertiser.
The Emperor, or his Britannic Majesty, do not appear to be implicated in any league with the late overthrown party; and yet the abrupt departure of Lord Malmesbury from Lisle, would lead us to suppose, certainly, that the events in Paris were unfavorably viewed. In accounts of a prior date to this circumstance, we notice that it was believed in Paris, that Ch. de la Croix was again to be brought into action; and from the complexion of his former intercourse with Lord M. in his capacity as secretary for foreign affairs, the English Editors had begun to apprehend consequences equally unfavorable.
Lord St. Vincent was still off Cadiz, and admiral Duncan off the Texel. Six ships of the line are ordered to reinforce the former, under the command of admiral Sir John Orde, vice admiral Nelson, who has retired upon a pension.
The President of the Dutch Convention has officially announced the rejection, by the people, of the new constitution.
CARNOT. There are no positive accounts of his death. In appears most
likely he has been banished leagues.
TRIELHARD and BONNIER were the new commissioners at Lisle—men who are stated to have been of less accommodating views and manners than the former; another confirmation of the unfortunate result.
PICHEGRU is said to have told the prince of Conde, he would leave nothing unfinished—"I do not wish to be the third vol. of La Fayette and Dumourier."
TALLEYRAND PERIGORD. We find him still among the candidates of the successful party. He was on one nomination for the new vacancy in the Directory, and his predecessor was again employed. We presume it was in some diplomatic agency which has tended to the unsuccessful issue at Lisle.
Marbois, Gen. Jourdan, Gen. Hoche, and others, are among the new party.
DIED, lately in England, in childhood, Mrs. Godwin; more known as Miss Wollstonecraft, the celebrated authoress of The rights of Women.
A gentleman, who came passenger in the Mary, informs, that Mr. MARSHAL, one of the American commissioners, had arrived in Holland. We do not find, in the English prints, any account of the arrival of Mr. Marshall or Mr. Gerry.
From the New-York Gazette. A SUMMARY OF ARTICLES WHICH WE SHALL DETAIL IN FULL.

The charge against Pichegru is, that he, bribed by the Prince of Conde, was to place Louis XVIII. on the throne, and who, in return, was to be made marshal of France, and governor of Alsace—To have the Signorship, with its Park—a million of livres in ready money, and a pension of 200,000 a year—with the estate called the Terre d'Arbois, which was to take his name.
Four Irish soldiers of the Monaghan militia were sentenced by a Court Martial to be shot, on the 16th of May, 1797, at Belfast, for being United Irish-men. The Highlanders being desired to fire on them, together with men out of the different other regiments in the town, replied, "Let Irish kill Irish."
Three per cent. Consols at London, Sept. 14, were at 51 3/4 52 1/2.
The heavy rains throughout England, Ireland, &c. has done immense damage, from the overflowing of rivers, &c. The quantities of wrecked horses, barns &c. our London accounts say, which floated down the Nore, were incredible.

M. arrive at Cates Barness's, innkeepers, in Tuckerton, distant from the city 54 miles, (from the Atlantic 6, and from the East Grating Plain 7 miles) where are good accommodation for travellers, and where are the convenient and safe passage boats provided to convey passengers to Cape William, Warrenton's boats, on Tuckerton's Island, adjoining the Atlantic, where are good accommodation, and a convenient place to bethel; the postman who will take the mail, himself with feeding and fishing, may at this place be highly gratified, there being at almost every station of the year fresh and fish in abundance. The Stage on its return, starts from the aforesaid C. Barness's, in Tuckerton, every Tuesday, at 6 o'clock, A. M. breakfasting at John Beden's, at Wading River Bridge, where that night at Longmaining, and at 1 o'clock, P. M. on Wednesday, arrive at the aforesaid Cooper's Ferry. It is presumed that no route of an equal distance will be less expensive, or furnish the traveller with a greater variety of amusement, as he will not only have a pleasant sail to the Atlantic from Tuckerton, but have the privilege of going on the road thither a number of capital farmers and forges, and one fishing mill, in complete order, and at work; gentlemen, too, who are owners, or factors, of any of the aforesaid iron works, are solicited to encourage and support this Stage (by which they can be so well accommodated) the continuance of which will much depend on their aid. The value of passengers and baggage are as follows: For a passenger from the aforesaid Daniel Cooper's Ferry to Tuckerton, including 14 lb. of baggage, Two Dollars; for every passenger per mile, Four Cents—150 lb. of baggage equal to a passenger. Passage of letters, newspapers, &c. will be agreeably to law. N. B. The mail crosses from the Old Ferry. THOMAS WARDLE & Co. Tuckerton, Sept. 28. O.R. 5. 2awtf
The Norfolk Mail STAGE. THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day, to the passengers and a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk. A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day. The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 20 miles less than on any stage route between those places. Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a stage for the same distance, so good a road in America.
