The printers, in the United States are obliged to insert the following Observations in their papers, by which the public will be forced, as well as their obedient servant.
R. LINCOLN, Superintendent of Light-Houses, State of Massachusetts. BY order of the United States, a Light House has been erected at the Clay Ponds, on Cape Cod; the lamps in which are to be lighted on the 15th inst. The light house is erected on land elevated about 120 feet, which with the elevation of the lantern makes the whole height 200 feet above high water mark. In order that this Light may be distinguished from the Boston and other Lights on our coast, an Eclipsed is erected, which will revolve around the Lamps once in 30 seconds so that the light will be nearly excluded from the eye of the approaching mariner about thirty seconds, in one revolution of the eclipsed. To render the benevolent designs of Congress as extensively useful as possible, the Marine Society in Boston, by a large Committee from their body, whose views have been seconded by others, have taken such distances and bearings as they thought necessary; which observations giving light and safety are added for the benefit of all interested—and are as follows:
Vessels outward bound, from Boston Light-house, and would wish to fall in with Cape-Cod the course is E. S. distance 15 leagues, thence 3 leagues to the Light-house. When up with the Light-house and it bears S W 2 leagues distance, you then steer S S E which will carry you out of the fourth channel.
Vessels inward bound, and fall in with the back of Cape-Cod, bring the Light to bear S W 2 leagues distance, then you may steer W NW for Boston Light-house.
If you would wish to go into Cape Cod harbor, you may keep the shore aboard about a mile distant, where you will have to fathom water. There is a bar lies off the back of the Cape, about half a mile from the shore.
When up with Race-point, which is very bold, and about three leagues to the westward of the Light-house, and may be known by a number of fish houses on it, from 1 to 3 miles to the southward of Race-point, is what is called Herring Cove, where you may have good anchoring half a mile from the shore, the wind from E to N N E in 4 or even 3 fathom water.
If bound into Cape Cod harbor, your course from Race-point to Wood end, is S S E 6 miles distance, bring the Light to bear E by N and run for it about two miles, you will then be clear of Wood end—then you must steer N E until the light bears E by S—then run N W for the harbor, until you have from 4 to 5 1/2 fathoms water, where you have good anchoring, the Light then will bear E by S 1/2 S or 6 miles distance.
In running from the Race point to Wood End—after you pass the Black Land or Hummocks, you will come up with a low sandy beach, which forms the harbor; extending between 2 and 3 miles to Wood-end, which is difficult to be distinguished in the night—It is very bold—you will have 25 fathom water within half a mile of the shore.
In bearing into Cape-Cod harbor, you must keep the eastern shore aboard, until you get into 5 fathom water. Stand no farther to the westward than to bring the light to bear E by S as there is a long spit of land runs off from the western shore, which being very bold, you will have 11 fathom water within a stones throw of shore.
In case it blows so hard that you cannot beat in the harbor, you will have good anchoring without, from 10 to 10 to 15 fathom water.
Vessels in Boston bay and would wish to put away for Cape-Cod harbor, must endeavor to fall in with the Race. If in the night, and you cannot see the land, you must bring the Light to bear E by N and run for it until you have found 14 or 15 fathom water, then steer north east until the light bears E by S then run in N W for the harbor.
At full and change, it is high water off Race Point at 10 o'clock and 45 minutes. Vessels in leaving Cape-Cod bound to Boston, should calculate the tide, as the flood sets strong to the south west.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
VENICE, August 4. The citizens of the national guard here are very jealous and dissatisfied with the troops of 1000 men from the Cisalpine Republic, who were sent here to maintain tranquility. They have declared to the municipality, that if these troops are not removed, they will disband. Orders on the subject are expected from General Buonaparte. A part of the French garrison here is slowly withdrawing. The contributions for the maintenance of the French troops, and the administration of public affairs, amount daily to 14,000 ducats. The zealous democrat Dandolo, has requested his dismissal from the municipality, because some of his propositions have not been immediately decreed. In the neighborhood of Vicenza, several of the communes have rejected the new constitution, and required the old Venetian constitution to be restored, under which they say, they enjoyed more peace and happiness; 3000 French have, in consequence, marched into that vicinity from Vicenza, and 4000 from Bassano. The inhabitants at first took arms, and some severe skirmishes took place, in which many were killed on both sides; but at length, they were obliged to submit to superior force. Buonaparte has erected a new administration for the vicinity of Mantua. The French raise 75,000 livres per month in this part of the country. The municipality of Ancona has taken possession of all the convents in that city, and their revenues. The report is revived, that Buonaparte will make himself the head of the Cisalpine republic. He was on the 5th inst. preparing to set out from Milan for Udine. [Thus regularly follows misery, whither-soever blasting fates, in wrath at human vices, bear the cruel course of Frenchliberty.]
PARIS, September 9. Proclamation of the Executive Directory to the French people. Citizens—the French people have in the first instance, committed the deposit of their constitution to the fidelity of the Legislative body, and of the executive power. The safety and integrity of this sacred deposit have been threatened by a conspiracy of royalists, slowly and maturely organized, carried on with craft and dexterity, and followed up with perseverance. The Directory have unveiled the plot; the conspirators have been seized, and the legislative body have instantly adopted the measures which the urgent nature of circumstances has required. No blood has been shed, wisdom presided over the operation of the armed force, and courage and discipline directed its exertions. The national justice has been avowed and consecrated by the peaceable deportment of the people; it was made evident to the public, that there was no design of deranging the present posture of things, but on the contrary, of putting every thing in its proper place. The legislative body, the executive power, have faithfully fulfilled their duty. But the French people have also deposited their Magna Charta in the hands of the administrators and judges: They have confided it to the vigilance, the enlightened vigilance of fathers of families, of mothers and of wives, and to the virtuous affections of youthful citizens; in a word, to the characteristic intrepidity which distinguishes Frenchmen. Administrators, judges, fathers of families, wives, mothers, and youthful citizens, Frenchmen of every age, of every profession, have you complied with your oaths?
Have you protected the deposit entrusted to your hands? Look around you, Frenchmen! be watchful and observe (it is not too late) the snares into which the friends of kings and the enemies of France were eager to involve you. In order to curb you anew under the yoke you have broken, in order gradually, as though it were by your own impulse, to subject you to it again, they have introduced into all the public offices, corrupted men, but men as crafty as they are perverse; dextrous in converting into an engine hostile to the liberty of the people, the very power they had been armed with, in order to defend and confirm it. They possessed in your tribunals, prevaricating judges, who abused the very independence which the constitution had bestowed on them, and who exercised their rights, only to forego and protect the enemies of their country. Above all it was their prime object and most anxious care to recall France to the adoption of monarchical forms, and to make the constitution, the fetes, the manners, and the usages of the people, ponder and trickle to the views of despotism. They were well aware, that man was a creature of habit, and that by changing his habits, you changed his very essence. Monarchical forms coincided no doubt, and marvelously coincided with the views and wishes of the conspirators, it was expedient and essential for them, to cast anew in a royal mould, the mass of the nation; but the nation repulsed the attempt with indignation and with horror. The republic has triumphed, and the triumph of republican forms ought to be blazoned and consolidated: such should be the insignia as well as the fruit of their victory. A republican spirit, a republican morality, republican usages and institutions, ought to be cherished and prevail; but in order to comprehend and concentrate them, they must be better understood, and for this we must begin by forming a more perfect idea of them. The republican spirit collects and embodies all our interests in the sacred focus of the public good, and takes into its composition every thing that is just, equitable, good, and amiable among mankind. Among a people informed and inspired by the divine spirit, justice presides over their social relations; no one attempts to injure the interests of another; the equality that prevails among them, calls for and
secures reciprocal assistance; should differences arise, the right of deciding on them is not a lucrative trade, that begets a desire to protract a decision. Republican justice is the sister of peace. The most lovely, the purest sentiment of nature—respect for hoary age; conjugal endearment; paternal tenderness, and filial piety. Sentiments honoured in public are known to exert their soft influence within the bosom of private families, and derive from the ties of blood, bonds of fraternity, of mutual affection, and happiness. The arts offer up in homage to the public weal the treasure of their agreements, and the pomp of their master-pieces—eloquence, poetry, music, all unite and conspire to kindle in every heart the love of the country, and to reanimate the engines of valour. Courage and genius are the offspring of liberty: The pencil, the chisel, and the artful hand of the architect, erect monuments in her honour. The theatre resounds with the oracles of morality, the sacred maxims of philosophy, and the incentive examples of public and private virtue. But the triumph of the fine arts is more eminently conspicuous in the national fetes, in these fraternal and popular solemnities, in these awful and affecting assemblies, where one sentiment assimilates and moves the minds and hearts of an immense people; dread and imposing ceremonies, which cannot be known in the palaces of kings, which chill with horror the partisans of despotism, but which warm with an invincible charm the breast of republicans. In a republic, every writer, every man of genius and letters is proud of the name of liberty, professes its maxims, opposes to error, to fanaticism, and to falsehood, the lights of instruction and of knowledge; lends to the empire of the laws the support of his talents, and invigorates their force by the supplement of his mental exertions. He explores the true principles of morality and of liberty; he diffuses the love of them, and propagates their influence; he teaches his fellow citizens a more cordial love for each other, and above all the predominant love of their country. It is in a republican soil that public instruction must flourish; this is the vivifying source which, like a pure milk, circulates, and is distributed through all the ramifications of society: Parents are eager to send their children to drink of and to be nourished with it. Private instruction constantly accords with the public instruction; the one prepares and leads on to the other. Over both, the eye of the magistracy is vigilant, and the magistrates, on their side, whether by the public exposition of the acts of government, or by their zeal in diffusing the light of knowledge, or by their activity in promoting the celebration of republican games, and of national fetes, and above all by holding out the living example of their own conduct and morals—these magistrates are also the instructors and framers of the public mind. It is here, in a word, where there exists the most powerful spring, and the grand moving principle of laudable actions, and of courageous traits, that sacred emulation which prompts the citizens to vie with each other in private virtue and public utility. The universal right to the chief offices of the state is the first clause in the compact of equality. There is no distinction. There is no distinction of birth or privilege. Merit alone is honored: Impetuous motive to elevate men to sublime sentiment and exalted enterprise! People of France, such ought you to be! Such you would have already been, if your minds had been thoroughly impressed with the principles of your constitution—if you had not listened to those who have vilified the republican principle in order to re-establish the yoke of priests and kings. Ah! cease to give credit to them! Hasten to quit the path which they had marked out, and which can only lead you to disgrace and ruin. You ought to be the model and the arbiter of nations. They wished on the contrary to render you the contempt of mankind. See how they have deceived you! See whether the republic is the seat of terrorism! The republic has triumphed, and yet the blood of traitors has been spared. No; it is not blood which cements republics. For the despotism of a single man blood must be shed, but to found equality laws alone are required. It belongs to the constitution to be the guide of morals and the compass of life. Teach it then to your children. Get by heart and practice yourselves the declaration of rights and of duties. Refuse with eagerness the republican customs which will distinguish you among other nations, and will render you the model of free states. Renounce servile abuses. Employ your own calendar, that accurate and convenient division of time, which by an admirable feature in republican delinies reminds you that the sun begins the year on the day when the republic began its career. As your days of rest, constantly prefer those which the law points out. Let those days not only bring back to you sweet repose, the reward and the consequence of labour, but let it produce innocent joy, let it produce family associations, the perusal of the laws, games, and entertainments. Let the rendezvous of commerce, the fairs, the markets, henceforth correspond with the republican era. All civil affairs ought to be regulated only by civil laws. Every usurpation on the province of law ought to cease in a republic. Take the name of citizen with honest pride. This glorious title has sacred rights. Our fathers, in a despotic government, long envied the appellation. They regretted, they deplored that they were not citizens. Let that name be ever dear to you. Never employ any other, unless to express contempt. Let the mouth of a free man never be sullied by those feudal qualities, those shameful honours by which you were formerly degraded, and the most unassuming of which ought to rouse your indignation, since it reminds you of slavery. Henceforth let the spirit of the nation form itself among, and rise to the pinnacle of your sublime destinies. Be the first
of free nations, and let the name of French citizen be the most honourable of all appellations. Let taste and neatness prevail in your dress. Let an amiable simplicity ever be cherished; let the youth flun pomp and affectation; let them render unnecessary to tell them to lay aside those rallying-marks, those customs of revolt, which are the uniform of a hostile army; let beauty, gentle and modest, adorned with its modesty, prefer in its ornaments those which have been woven by French hands. Beware of intemperance, for it is one of the vices of slaves. Frugality is one of the virtues by which free nations are distinguished. Be humane and sympathizing. It is among a free people that humanity is to be found; it is only by despots that it is trodden under foot; the altar of pity is in the heart of every freeman. Call to mind the principles which your immortal Montesquieu ascribes to three governments. To despotism he assigns the foundation of terror. Honor is the phantom which walks in the train of Kings; but the basis and the essence of republics is virtue. People of France! In this word recognize what your constitution, your government, your country now require from you. Do not allow others to say, and do not say yourselves, that you are not republicans, because virtue is the basis of republics. Do not calumniate yourselves, nor cause yourselves to be calumniated. People of France! Be virtuous, love your constitution, your government, your country, and you will be republicans, and nothing will equal your glory and your happiness. You ought to be attached to your government, as both the supreme authorities which you have instituted are attached to it. Let this great example impress your minds. The royalist conspirators had disunited these powers; and in breaking through this link, the key-stone of the social arch, they had almost succeeded in the overthrowing the republic. Thanks to the destiny by which you are protected: the conspirators are no more, neither in the directory, nor in the two councils. The councils and the directory at last go hand in hand, and the republic is saved. (Signed) REVEILLERE LEPAUX, President. LEGARDE, Secretary.
LONDON, Sept. 13. The following article we extract from the Revelateur , formerly called the Batave :— "The administrators of the Department of Soane and Loire, dismissed by the Government, had the impudence to imprison the courier who brought them the dispatches announcing their dismissal; and it is said that he recovered his liberty only by the energy of the republicans of Macon, who flew to arms, and did not quit them till their demands were complied with. The administrators of the Allier, supported by all the cut-throats they could collect, also commenced an insurrection against the government." "On the appointment of Merlin of Douai and Francois de Neufchateau to the directory, we hear that Cobarier and Garat, both ex-ministers, are named as candidates to replace the first as Minister of Justice, and Ginguene to the minister of the interior. The directory are now employed in this appointment. It is believed Danou will be appointed to some important place—That of director of public instruction would perfectly suit him." "Many emigrants of distinction have been arrested; it is incredible the number of passports that the central office have issued."
From Haniburgh Papers received by the Aurora.
HAGUE, September 12. The hotel of the French minister here has been illuminated on account of the new revolution which has taken place in France, and a general illumination is spoken of; for if this revolution had not happened, the royal party would have accomplished their design, and the old order of things would also have been restored here. Our troops have just been disembarked from the fleet in the Texel.
September 16. Twenty-one commissioners have been appointed to prepare a new constitution, six of whom are from the province of Holland, and the greater proportion are devoted to the revolutionary party. The choice of President has fallen upon the representative from Amstel.
Yesterday the Cisalpine republic was mentioned for the first time in our convention. The Directory expressed their wishes to be united by the bonds of friendship and brotherhood to the Batavian republic.
The troops disembarked from the fleet in the Texel, are not returned into garrison; they are encamped in quarters. Four battalions are gone to Etichand, and as many to Overijssel. The rest are gone into North Holland. The transport ships remain till further orders, in the Texel.
The minister Meyer has been recalled from France, on account of his being thought to favor the royalist party. Orders have been given for all French emigrants to leave the republic. General Hoche has intimated that there is a body of French emigrants and other disaffected persons, on our borders, of whom it is necessary to take some notice.
COLN, September 10. A remarkable change has taken place here. The friends of revolution have had the upper hand, and have followed the example of the Cisalpines. The whole government, the treasury and archives, all are in their hands. The consequence has been, the formation of a new government. Intermediate commissioners and new municipalities are established here, at Aachen, Trier and Coblentz, under the protection of the French republic, and under the name of the Rheno-Moselle Republic (Republic on the Rhine and the Moselle) formally declared independent, and to it are annexed several small adjoining districts on its territory on the Upper Rhine. Information of this change has been sent to Paris, and general Hoche has been invited to provide them with a Provisional Directory, till the people can be assembled to form a regular constitution.
The consequence of this revolution cannot be present to be estimated; it will doubtless give France new and important resources. One consequence amongst others, will be the consideration of the clergy, and the estates of the princes and of the clerical order, which make three fourths of the whole country.

September 17. The plan of the French to republicanize the country on the side of the Rhine every day develops itself. Yet it is soon the independence of this place was publicly declared, and the tree of liberty planted. The ceremony was performed in the presence of the civil and military authorities. In several other places yesterday and the day before, the tree of liberty was also planted.
WETZLAR, September 17.
General Hoche lies here dangerously ill. Two doctors are expected from Paris to attend him. Several of the streets are covered with litter. All is kept still, not even the stages or coaches are permitted to disturb him. General Lefevre commands the army of the Sambre and Meuse, in the interim.
VIENNA, Sep. 16.
It was to day reported here, that Peace had been concluded betwixt the Emperor and the French Republic; but this report is not officially announced. It is hoped, however, that a fortnight will determine the matter. Though much depends upon the event of the negotiations at Lisle, as our Cabinet is closely bound with that of England: or there is little doubt that France would wish to conclude peace with us, and leave England to herself.
HAMBURGH, September 26.
The ships which the Spaniards expected from South America and the Philippine Islands with upwards of 18 millions of piastres on board, are arrived at Teneriffe.
The English squadron, under command of Admiral Nelson, are put into Gibraltar to refit.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 10.
The greatest part of the city of Scutari has been destroyed by fire. It is not known how it broke out, but 3000 houses have been reduced to ashes.
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 16.
On Monday last a fire broke out in the town of Nyburg, which, owing to the wind being very strong at the time, consumed 141 houses, about one third part of the whole place. The loss is estimated at 100,000 rix dollars.
September 19.
The post of yesterday brought news that the pestilence was so violent in the island of Corsica, that orders are issued That no ship from the Mediterranean sea shall be admitted into the river Elbe, without being first examined at Cuxhaven by the proper officer at Ritzbuttle, and permission obtained.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 12.
On Sunday last the young king of Sweden was publicly betrothed to the Princess Frederica Van Baaden, which was accompanied with the rejoicings usual on such occasions.
UDINE, Sept. 6.
On the 18th inst. the first conference on the subject of Peace was held at Pasteriano, betwixt the different belligerent Powers. It continued nearly six hours. On the 3d, General Buonaparte arrived here to assist at the negotiation, and since then it has daily continued betwixt him, General Clark and the Austrian Minister. The Congress is held at the house of the Marquis de Gallo. The French military surround the place, and the fortifications continue to be replenished.
MILAN, Sept. 9.
The Government of Genoa, on the 4th inst. experienced a serious shock. The exclusion of the Priests and Nobility from the offices of State, which the new Constitution ordains, and the discharge of the old officers, occasioned a formidable tumult. The aristocratic party, which consisted of the chief citizens, had at first this advantage, and became masters of the city. But their triumph did not continue long. The democrats united themselves, and were assisted by the French troops. A combat took place, in which upwards of 1000 men lost their lives. The French Ambassador, Paspuut, and the Austrian General, Cassabianca, it is said, were at the head of the democratic party. Since then, Genoa is surrounded by French troops.
FROM A PARIS PAPER.
The following account of the proceedings of the French Legislature respecting the proscription of certain Journalists, shows that they have been treated in a summary mode.
Permanent sitting of the 6th and 7th. Bailleur prefaced the report by some observations on the conduct and principles of certain Journalists, who, it is evident were in the interests of the fallen royalist conspiracy, either from congeniality of sentiment, or having been in their pay.
The project of decree which he proposed was as follows:
Art. I. The proprietors, undertakers, directors, authors, editors, and assistants of the journals of which the names follow (there were 54 on the list) shall be transported whither the directory shall direct.
II. Their property shall be sequestrated, and restored only when the authentic account shall be received of their arrival at the place of their destination.
III. The directory are authorized to afford them some provisional succour till they reach the place of their destination.
Several members, "The question." Salicetti moved, that the directory should have the right of making domiciliary visits to seize the persons designated in the decree. After some trifling opposition this was carried. Talot concluded his observations in favor of the motion, as follows:
"I have said it, I repeat it, we were placed between the gallows and the guillotine. Had our enemies triumphed, they would not have obtained towards us all the forms which they themselves require; we all should have perished by the rope or at the block. Less cruel, we want no blood; but at least let us act in such a manner as that they shall not escape the punishment they have deserved."
Gaudin moved that the list of journals should be read over and the names considered one by one. Adopted.
The Journal du Soir was struck off the list, Bailleur, the reporter, seconding the motion.
The word assistants was struck out of the first article of the decree as being too vague and general.
The Republican Francois was struck off the list. Then the Mercure.
The Journal des Spectacles was referred back to the committee for further examination.
Quirot wished the list confined to the most
prominent journalists of the counter-revolutionary faction, and not to include all those who might weakly have sided with or copied from them occasionally.
Gaudin and Boulay supported this idea, and wished the whole list referred back, that a selection might be made. Negatived.
L'Histoire, printed by Dupont de Nemours was next moved to be struck off the list.
Boulay contended, that though the journal had, at times contained some articles that proved the editor a friend to the fallen party, it had contained many articles, especially upon the clubs, the priests and the divisions among the different departments of the government of an excellent tendency. He paid some compliments to Dupont's character, and pleaded his age. "Dupont," said he, "has contributed to disseminate information by his excellent work of the citizen's ephemerides; he has therefore contributed to bringing about the revolution."
Tallien stated the influence of this paper as very great; but represented the editor as a man whose talents had been employed in endeavouring to bring about the ancient regime, and who protected against the late events.
Chenier supported the views of Boulay. He agreed, that L'Histoire often contained articles which gave pain to republicans; but often also very excellent observations. He concluded by saying: "Without doubt you should have some consideration for his age, and for the friend of Turgot; - one who in the constitutional assembly constantly supported the cause of liberty." He hoped that this paper would at least be sent back to the committee. Agreed.
La Tribune Politique was moved to be struck out. Negatived.
We mention these details to show, that the proscription list was not made without discussion or consideration.
Finally the list of proscribed journals remained as follows:
The Guardian of the constitution; the General Journal of France; that of the colonies; the Invariable; the Impartial, printed at Bruxelles; the Impartial Bruxelles; the Grondeur; the Universal Gazette; the Gazette Francoise; the Europe Literaire; the Eclair; the Echo; the Dijeuner; the defender of old Institutions; the Public Voice or the Journal of the brothers and friends by Vassel; the Republican Courier; the Extraordinary Courier; the Courier of Lyons; the Censor of Journals; the Aurora; the Anti-terrorist at Toulouse; the Public Accuser; the Acts of the Apostles; the Catholic annals; the Argus; the Veridique; the Public Tribune; the Tea; the Tableau of Paris; the Spectator of the North; the Rhapsodies; the Quotidienne, (the daily paper) the Precursor; the Possillion of the armies; the Petit Gautier; Perlet; the Observer of Europe at Rouen; the Nouvelles Politiques; the Mirror; the Messager du Soir the Remembrancer.
Names of the Journals placed on the list of proscription and either struck out, or sent back to the committee for reconsideration.
The Analysts of the Journals; the Ladies Journal; L'Histoire; the French Republican; the Universal Mercury; the Journal of the theatre; the Courier of the Departments; the Political and Literary Correspondence; the French Belgian; the National Auditor; the Bee; the Universal annals; the Port-folio; the Gazette of the Departments; De tout un peu [a little of every thing]; the Picture of France and Europe; the Evening Journal; the Political and Literary Journal of France.

NEW-YORK, November 20. Yesterday arrived here, after a passage of 53 days from Falmouth, his Britannic Majesty's packet Carteret, capt. Taylor.
Though a failure of crops, in a degree, may have taken place in England, we have reason to believe, from a paragraph in a London paper of the 19th Sept. that it is not so great as might be imagined from several late publications. The paragraph runs thus: "It is with singular satisfaction we find, from almost all our corn counties, the most pleasing accounts respecting the gathering in of the corn harvest, notwithstanding the late wet and tempestuous weather; and that all hands, and every day, Sundays not excepted, are devoted to this useful work."
Mr. Vick, the messenger, went from London to Lisle on a Thursday, and returned the succeeding Sunday night.
The Duke of Hamilton, as lord lieutenant of the county of Lanerk, in Scotland, has issued an address, explanatory of the nature of the militia act, which has had the best effect in correcting the misrepresentations that had been maliciously made respecting it.
By the ship Bessey, capt. Phelps, arrived from Bristol, in 60 days.
OFFICE OF GENERAL POLICE. Letter from the commissary of the Executive power at the central department of the Rhone, to the minister of police.
LYONS, Sept. 9. The important events which have taken place at Paris, attract universal attention; they have not, however, troubled the commune of Lyons, and still less the department. Curiosity and uneasiness occupy all minds. The most clear-sighted of the merchants and tradesmen already begin to entertain hopes of a change of affairs more favorable to their commercial interests. Malevolence is dismayed and terrified. Its agents a few days ago were much more active than at present. I shall be particular, citizen minister, at this critical period, in informing
you of every thing which concerns general or individual safety.
(Signed) BOTTIN. The commissioner of the Executive authority in the criminal tribunal of the department of L'Orne, to the minister of justice.
Alencon, 24 Fructidor, Sept. 11. Citizen minister,
I am this instant informed, that at Suez preparations had been made for the organization of the national guard; that uniforms with black collars were quite ready, and that the corps were about to be formed into divisions of chasseurs and grenadiers, under the title of Chasseurs and Grenadiers of Pichegru; that at Prenais, in the department of La Sarthe, uniforms had likewise been made, and the plan of insurrection had been entertained.
This proves that it was time to strike the conspirators.
How vast was the scheme of Pichegru! The law which he proposed and carried, was nothing more than one of the means to render the success of it more certain.
Upon this very day were the black collars to have been bro't forward, and the facilities of Pichegru to have been shown themselves.
Happily these projects have been discovered. Health and Fraternity! (Signed) LEROYER LATOURNERIE. An exact copy. For the minister of justice, PLEVILLE LEPELEY, minister of marine.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21.
MRS. ADAMS'S Drawing Room will commence on Friday Evenings, and be continued one a fortnight through the winter.
Capt. Beard, from Amsterdam, informs, that previous to his sailing, the commissioners from the United States to France, had arrived at the Hague, and proceeded to Paris about the 17th of September. The Dutch troops from the fleet were disembarked, and the British fleet still off the Texel.
Last evening arrived the ship Farmer, capt. M. Collom, from Bourdeaux, which place she left the 3d of October, and the Cordovan the 10th. We were not able to collect intelligence by this vessel further than the arrival at Paris of the American Commissioners.
Extra's of a letter from Hamburg, dated Sept. 19, 1797.
"The imperial minister received, yesterday, an official note, that orders had been given to release General La Fayette, and his companions. We have a right to expect that they are on their way to this place."
Some of the papers after announcing the marriage of Col. Humphreys, have added - and have set off for Madeira. It should be Madrid.
Wignell is about to open his theatre, with a renovated corps, which is said to be superior to any hitherto seen in America.
The partisans of the French triumviri, in this country, in justifying the recent prostration of the constitution, and their violation of every moral and social principle, have out done even the tyrants themselves. They have blasted the proscribed en masse, and denounced them as traitors, without a shadow of evidence, except the fabrications respecting Pichegru, which it is to be observed, affect no other individual amongst them.
The loss sustained by the republic, in the person of Carnot, cannot be too highly estimated. He was the soul of their whole military system - and introduced in particular, that mode of dividing the armies, to which the French owe their most brilliant successes. The division of an army into a centre and two wings was so modified by Carnot, that each division constituted a distinct and separate army, acting upon emergency, entirely independent and separately. Whoever will review the history of the last campaign cannot fail to observe the striking consequences of this arrangement.
Carnot was the friend and patron of Buonaparte; and that general declares, in a letter to the deposed director, noticing certain injurious reports respecting himself, that he esteems it the highest pleasure and pride of his life, to have been honored with the confidence and friendship of Carnot. It is not improbable that he may one day revenge the injuries of his benefactor.
A Jacobin writer, whose performance appears in a paper printed at Elizabeth Town, New-Jersey, makes the following remarks: "Whilst some of our Pseudo-Patriots are criminating the conduct of the ruling powers in France, in banishing the traitors to the government without trial, it would be well for them to take a retrospective view of our own conduct during the revolutionary war with England, and not be so lavish in abusing others for what we have countenanced ourselves (for it is a foul bird that duries its own nest) and see if impious necessity did not propel us to acts as atrocious as theirs, such as hanging men without trial, as the writer of this affair was the case in some instances."
The writer of the above is called on to cite an instance of revolutionary phrenzy after the adoption of the constitution. At what time did our executive, in defiance of our constitution, call on the military to seize on the most influential characters in the senate, and house of representatives, and compel as many of their brethren as were in custody, at the point of the bayonet to acquiesce in the transportation of their fellow-citizens,
without trial? At what time were either of the free elections of the states collectively, or individually, annulled by a military mandate? At what time have the people of America been so lost to their rights and their honor, as to submit to such degradation as results from the late proceedings of the arbitrary and usurping triumvirate of France? As to the pretext that these 65 unfortunate men were royalists, it never will be believed; for if they were, they would have been tried as such, and surely 500,000 armed veterans who are at the call of the triumvirate were sufficient, to prevent their escape during trial. Freemen will remember that to justify such atrocities is to encourage the repetition.

Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Shippensburg and Sunbury  STAGES. THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but, as M c Slough intends to take the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M c Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not now deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer, may have the perusal of M c Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justified in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reilly, Weed and Witter, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sunbury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Monday. WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferris, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednesday morning, on the same evening arrives at Patrick Cochran's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadelphia. mwf

THE Philadelphia, Alston, and Tuckerton MAIL STAGE. THE proprietors beg leave to inform the public, that they have established a Stage between Philadelphia, Alston, Buxton, Hampton, Sproull, and Alston Furnace, Walnut River Station, and the town of Tuckerton, in New Jersey, to go once a week, and are provided with good horses, a comfortable carriage, and a careful driver, for the convenience of the mail, passengers, and goods. The Stage will start every Thursday, at 10 o'clock, A. M. from Mr. Daniel Cooper's Ferry, and stop that night at Joel Baline's, at Longacoming; and on a Friday, at 6 o'clock, P. M. arrive at Caleb Baline's, in Tuckerton, distant from the city 54 miles, (from the Atlantic 6, and from the East Greyhound Plains 7 miles) where there are good accommodations for travellers, and where are commodious and safe passage boats provided to convey passengers to Capt. William Wilmington's wharf, on Tuckerton's Island, adjoining the Atlantic, where are good accommodations, and a convenient place to take the post. The postman who wishes to regulate himself with sailing and shipping, may at this place be highly gratified, there being at almost every season of the year fast and full in abundance. The Stage on its return, starts from the aforesaid C. Baline's in Tuckerton, every Tuesday, at 6 o'clock, A. M. breakfasts at John Baline's, at Walnut River Bridge, lodge that night at Longacoming, 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 curiosity of seeing on the road thither a number of capital forges and forges, and one sitting 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 rates 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 way passengers per mile, Four Cents—150 lb. of baggage equal to a passenger. Postage of letters, newspapers, &c. will be agreeable to law. N. B. The mail crosses from the Old Ferry. THOMAS WARDLE & Co. Tuckerton, Sept. 28. Oct. 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 the passengers find 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 80 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.

PEALE'S MUSEUM. THIS valuable repository of the works of Nature, so well calculated to delight the mind and enlarge the understanding, is opened daily, as usual. It stands in an airy and healthy situation, and free from the epidemic that at present afflicts the city; it may, therefore, be frequented with the greatest safety. As an Amusement, the study of Nature is the most rational and pleasing; as a Science, the most sublime and instructive. It elevates the mind and expands the heart. They "Who Nature's works can charm, with God himself Hold converse."
Many interesting additions have lately been made to this Museum: and the feathered tribe, containing a variety of the most rare and beautiful subjects, is now very advantageously arranged. Waxen Figures, of Men large as life (some of them calls from nature) are here dressed in their proper habits, and placed in attitudes characteristic of their respective nations. Here may be seen the North-American Savage, and the Savage of South-America—a laboring Chinese, and the Chinese Gentleman—the footy African, and the Kamtschatdale—with some Natives of the South Sea Islands. The immense variety and interesting diversity which this Museum offers to the view, may be seen but cannot be described with full effect. Price only 1/4th of a dollar. Sept. 28. 1aw
