Particulars of the Mutiny on board the Brigs Hermione.

They then directed their course for La Guira, where they arrived under Spanish colours, and delivered the ship up to the Spanish government...
The following is an extract of the speech of Rio in the council of 500, Sept 15, as published in the "Gazette Historique et Politique, de la France et de l'Europe."
"It is notorious that the English carry on three fourths of their trade under American colours. The passports of the President of the United States are publicly granted in London. With the certainty of these facts, justice, the consideration due to the government, the encouragement merited by the zeal of the owners of privateers, and respect for the 329th article of the constitution, induce me to present the following project."
The council of 500 considering that the decree of the 12th Ventose last, relative to maritime prizes is not contrary to the 329 article of the constitution, declares that there is no room to deliberate on the propositions of Pastorat in the sitting of the 2d Messidor.
The council repeals the decree which had created a special commission to examine the reclamations of maritime prizes. (Decreed.) The election of Santhonax as a member from St. Domingo of the council of 500 was declared valid Sept. 16th.

Translated for the Gazette of the U. States.
From the Bulletin of Rouen, Sept. 15. Letter of the 11th Fructidor, written by Adjutant General Moel Huard, to his friend at Paris.
At length, my dear friend, we can no longer doubt that the emperor has great friends at Paris. When we were at the gates of Venice, he accepted all, and today he denies himself; for ten days past it appears here, that hostilities will recommence. General Buonaparte has reviewed us, and we are not left ignorant of the conduct of the emperor. All the officers and soldiers replied that they knew the road to Vienna, and that they would try it a second time. Buonaparte immediately after set out for Udine, where the council is assembled, for the purpose of obtaining a prompt explanation from these masters.
The Journal des Hommes libres announces the discovery of a movement at Blois. It says that from the 20th to the 21st they had a report of a courier sent by Carnot to general Clarke, with dispatches, the object of which was to conclude a peace at any price. This, without doubt, determined the directory to order the arrestation of Clarke. Sept. 18.
The news from Marseilles of the 22d, says a journal is every way unsatisfactory. The national guard was formed the 19th, ala Piebegr. The republicans have not made their appearance; they would have been assassinated. All the Chouans and cut-throats are enrolled. The most famous assassins are officers.
The city is always guarded; viz. Part of the Chouans are encamped without and have their patrols like a city besieged; they wait with impatience for the news from Paris, and threaten daily to carry measures to the last excess, even should they hear that their party is vanquished, adding that they have no asylum left if the government should triumph.

GENTLEMEN, IT affords me a peculiar satisfaction to have it in my power to say, that the promptitude and punctuality which have been observed by you, and the officers and dragoons of your respective troops, (in the execution of your patriotic and polite offer of escorting the President of the United States through New-Jersey) has merited and obtained the approbation of many worthy citizens, and must claim the applause of all who are friends to our happy government, and with well to the Chief Magistrate of it, whose nation is entitled to attention and respect, and whose character so justly deserves the esteem and affection of his fellow-citizens.

On Friday last the legislature of this state adjourned to the 3d Wednesday in January next.
SALEM, November 7.
Flag of the United States.
A law of Congress, passed Jan. 13, 1794, enacts, that the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be 15 stars, white in a field blue. It is said that the French have captured American vessels for want of conformity to the above description; and many still sail under the thirteen striped flag.
TOWN MEETING.
The inhabitants of this town assembled yesterday, to take into consideration the subject of granting a sum, as additional to the pay of government, to those men who might be drafted in this town, as a part of the detachment of 80,000 militia ordered by Congress. And also to see whether they would grant a compensation to the militia of the town when called out for ordinary trainings, pursuant to law. In the first case, it was voted, that Two Dollars should be paid to each soldier detached on his appearance upon parade for inspection armed and equipped according to law; and fourteen dollars a month if called into service, and one month's pay in that case advanced.
The other question, which was founded upon a supposed unjust inequality in the burden of militia expenses, met a cool and candid discussion. Every speaker avowed the sentiment on which the question was bro't forward; but it was doubted whether a vote of pay for that purpose would have any validity, if it should be disputed when the taxes were assessed and attempted to be collected; and in this case much confusion might ensue in the final arrangements of the town. The discussion issued in the appointment of a numerous and respectable committee, to investigate the legality of making such compensation, and should they find it legal, and expedient, to recommend a certain sum for that purpose, and the ways and means for raising it, and make report at the adjournment on the first Monday in December next.

At eight o'clock on Thursday morning, the President proceeded on his journey, escorted by Major Dunham's troop of horse, commanded by Lieut. Voorhees, the major being absent, attended by a large number of citizens eight miles on his way, when he alighted from his carriage, and took leave of them, after expressing his thanks to them in an obliging manner for their politeness, and in return received their good wishes for a pleasant journey, accompanied with their earnest hope, for a co-operation of congressional wisdom and patriotism, with his exertions to promote the welfare of their country.
Col. Neilson and Judge Mercer, the President and Vice President appointed to superintend the ceremonies of the table, on Wednesday, were gratified in receiving the approbation of their fellow-citizens in regard to their conduct on the occasion—and in return expressed their thanks for the discreet and judicious support of the company.
On Thursday the 9th instant, the following address of the Legislature of this state, then in session at Trenton, was presented to the President of the United States, who was in that place on his way to the seat of government.
TO JOHN ADAMS, President of the United States, SIR,
THE Legislative Council and General Assembly of New-Jersey, with much pleasure embrace this opportunity of assuring you of their high respect for your person and character both in your political and individual relations.
Warmly attached to the principles of a free representative government, we rejoice that in experience, the election of a Chief Magistrate has been conducted with temperance, and shewn to the world, that freemen can elect without turbulence or tumult, and that integrity and ability will be the object of their choice.
Your early agency, Sir, in promoting and establishing the liberty and independence of our country, and since that time your negotiations abroad and various public functions at home, afford the happiest presage that your present administration will not only protect our interests, but also promote harmony and unanimity among the citizens of these states, and friendly sentiment and intercourse with all mankind.
Involved as we are in the conflicting interests of this eventful period, while we would court the favor of calm investigation, we do not forget that man is born to be free and must not yield to dishonor. Conscious that unity of sentiment, and firmness of conduct are the surest means of securing our liberties, we yield to none in attachment to our government and promptness to defend it; but while we feel the enthusiasm we deprecate the occasion, and, relying on the wisdom of our constitution and the just administration of it, we anticipate the pleasing prospect of nations yet unborn enjoying undiminished, the rights which it shall have protected and secured.
Be assured, Sir, of our warmest wishes for your personal welfare, and our sincere desire that your public conduct may meet the approbation and be rewarded with the gratitude of your fellow-citizens, and finally terminate in the felicity of your country.
A N S W E R. To the Legislative Council, and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey.
GENTLEMEN, I receive this address from the legislative council and general assembly of New-Jersey with a grateful sense of the high honor conferred upon me.
As there is no people whose attachment to the principles of a free representative government has been more constant and consistent than that of the citizens of New-Jersey, there is none with whom I could more heartily rejoice, that elections of a Chief Magistrate have been conducted without turbulence or tumult; and may future experience demonstrate, that integrity and ability will always be the object of the choice of freemen.
Your kind compliments to me, merit my best thanks and strongest assurances, that should any thing in my administration protect your interest in common with all those of your fellow-citizens through the union, promote harmony and unanimity among the citizens of these states, and friendly sentiments and intercourse with all mankind, I should esteem myself the happiest of all men.
In this eventful period, when the equilibrium of society is disadjusted, and the passions of men let loose, without restraint or control, in so great a part of the world, it behoves us well to consider the situation we are in, and be prepared in our minds for whatever we may be called by Providence to do, or to suffer, in the cause of honor and virtue, religion and liberty.
Your sentiment, that we must not yield to dishonor, so well becomes the character and dignity of freemen, that it is very certain there never has been, and equally evident there never can be, a free people to whom their honor is not dearer than their lives.
As the citizens of New-Jersey have been excelled by none in their attachment to the constitution, your reliance on the just administration of the government, is peculiarly honorable and agreeable to me.
Accept, gentlemen, of my cordial thanks for your kind wishes, and an assurance of my
evocation of true information, we have great reason to expect will put our countrymen on their guard, promote an impartial spirit of Independence, a rational spirit of liberty, and a sober determination to preserve their morals and support their religion, without which patriotism is but a chimera.
Your noble declaration as Serjeants and citizens of the United States, in favor of order, government, morals, patriotism and religion, does you great honor, and cannot fail to have a happy influence, and afford a great encouragement to similar resolutions in all parts of the Union.
That it will be your happy lot as well as mine, to see the people rally under their own standard, in contempt and defiance of all others, in support of their constitution, and defence of their country whenever occasion shall require, I have not the smallest doubt.
In return for your pathetic wishes for the prosperity of my administration, and for the final completion of it, most devoutly to be wished, by taking my last leave of a happy people, which have tenderly affected me, I present you my best wishes, and offering up my sincere prayers, for your temporal and eternal felicity.
JOHN ADAMS.
After which a great number of the citizens were presented to the President, and received by him with that graceful ease and politeness, which is the true mark of real dignity, and nobleness of mind—we mention with pleasure that among the citizens introduced to the President were a number of the substantial old farmers of the neighborhood, who expressed the highest satisfaction at the truly republican, affectionate behaviour of their chief magistrate.
The President having before accepted the invitation from the inhabitants of the city and its vicinity to dine with them, at 4 o'clock. Gen. White, Mr. Hardebergh and Mr. Bogg, a committee chosen to adjust the preliminaries for his reception and entertainment, waited on him at his lodgings, and conducted him thro' a lane formed of citizens, and citizen soldiers of the city and neighborhood in complete uniform, amidst a large concourse of admiring spectators, to the white-hall tavern, where upwards of fifty sincere friends to the government of their country, were gratified in the opportunity of sitting down at table, with the faithful guardian of their rights and privileges, and partaking with him of a handsome repast provided for the occasion, by Mr. Vernon.
After dinner the following toasts were drank.
1st. The United States—May their Union be perpetual, and their honor inviolate.
2d. The Constitution and laws.—May Americans ever remember, that law is liberty, and the Constitution the sacred palladium of political safety.
3d. The Vice-President and both Houses of Congress.—As Guardians of the liberties of their country, may their zeal for the common good, banish from their councils every sentiment inimical to so great a purpose.
4th. GEORGE WASHINGTON; the pride and ornament of his country, may he long live happy in his retirement.
5th. The Marquis La Fayette.—May he have the happiness to see the revolution which has convulsed Europe, speedily terminate in equal liberty, remote from tyranny on the one hand, and licentiousness on the other.
6th. General Kosciuszko.—May the ardent esteem of the friends of freedom, be a balm to his wounds, and a sweet consolation in his retirement.
7th. Our Foreign Ministers.—May the lustre of their patriotism, their firmness, fidelity and candor, secure respect to their country, and convince the world that our councils are founded on the broad basis of national rectitude and honor.
8th. The Congress of 1776.—May we duly appreciate their resplendent magnanimity and patriotism, and be emulous to support untarnished, those glorious rights so nobly asserted.
9th. The memory of the patriots who fell in defence of American Freedom.—May their example be a lesson to us, justly to regard its invaluable blessings.
10th. Independence.—May a sense of national honor exalt the American character above a debasing predilection for, or fear of any foreign power under heaven.
11th. The American Press.—may it meet with due support when open for men's discussion, but never become countenanced when it becomes the vehicle of licentious abuse.
12th. May the friends of America be impressed with a suitable resentment against every instance of foreign interference with respect to its government.
13th. The American character.—May all but true federalists be found wanting, when weighed in the American balance.
14th. Agriculture.—may industry, frugality and innocence, ensure the American farmers "rural felicity."
15th. Commerce.—May the American commerce be as unbounded as the ocean, and as unrefrained as its waves.
16th. The American fair.—may they smile upon the friends, and never cease to frown upon the enemies of their country.
By the President of the United States: May the wisdom of the citizens of the state of New-Jersey, continue as conspicuous as the laurels of their valor are immortal.
By the Chairman (after the President had retired)
The President of the United States; may his administration of our government ever be firmly supported by a virtuous and enlightened people.
VOLUNTEER TOASTS.
By the deputy chairman.
Prosperity to that useful class of citizens the mechanics of the United States; may they meet with encouragement according to their merit.
By judge Morris.
Our sister States, may our only emulation be, who shall produce the best citizens.
By general White.
Governor Howell; may the shield of virtue and honor protect him against the arrows of envy and malice.
NEW-BRUNSWICK, Nov. 14.
On Wednesday last, at 12 o'clock, the President of the United States, with his lady and suite, arrived here on his way to the seat of government, escorted by the Woodbridge troop of horse, commanded by captain Ligar; he was received by the inhabitants, with every mark of respect and esteem, from a grateful people, to a man whose life has been so distinguished in promoting the public good, and whose acknowledged abilities have been uniformly and disinterestedly employed in establishing the happiness of his country—and under a federal salute and ringing of bells, was conducted to his quarters, at Mr. Drake's.
At two o'clock, the inhabitants of the city and vicinity waited on the President with an address; it was presented by col. Neilson, who with col. Bayard, Mr. Cornelius Tenbroek and Mr. Clarkson, had been previously appointed by the committee to wait on the President in New-York, with an invitation to dine with them on his way to Philadelphia.—The address was politely received, which, with the answer, we cheerfully give to the public.
Col. Neilson introduced himself with the address to the President in the following words:
Once more, I have the honor to stand before you, Sir, in behalf of the inhabitants of New-Brunswick and its vicinity, and in their name, to offer you an address, expressive of their affectionate esteem for your person, and of the high gratification they experience at the administration of their government being placed in your hands; with permission I will deliver the address.
To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
The address of the inhabitants of the city of New-Brunswick, and its vicinity.
SIR, The inhabitants of the city of New-Brunswick, and its vicinity, are highly gratified with the opportunity of expressing to you their affectionate esteem.
Happy in a government of laws, and happy in the administration of it under the great and good Washington, we could not but sincerely rejoice, when the voice of our country, upon his retirement, gave us for a Chief Magistrate, a person whose past services had endeared him to his country, and who e political principles ensured him the confidence of his fellow-citizens.
The sentiments, Sir, which you have discovered respecting the duties of the United States, in regard to their foreign relations, while they meet with our unequivocal approbation, are at the same time a happy presage, that the measures which you are pursuing will terminate in the security of our peace, and in the preservation of the honor and dignity of our national character.
We have heard, Sir, the voice of faction, and we have abhorred it—we have seen the progress of foreign influence, and we have lamented its pernicious effects. Religion, morality, and patriotism have had much to fear—but we indulge the pleasing hope, that he who sways the sceptre of universal nature, has not defined the people of this happy country to work out their own destruction.
With us, as Jersey men and citizens of the United States, we are prompted to declare, that a love of order and good government, a sacred regard to moral rectitude, and the same Amor Patriæ which so indignantly recoiled at the idea of foreign domination, will remain undiminished.
May it, Sir, be your happy lot to see that the people of this country will rally under no other standard but their own, in support of their Constitution, and in defence of the laws of their country.
May your administration of our government be long and prosperous, and when it shall please the great ruler of the universe to summon you into a more exalted seat of eternal bliss, may you, retiring, bid adieu to your grateful country by the pleasing appellation of HAPPY PEOPLE!

FRED. FRELINGHUYSEN, ARCHIBALD MERCER, In behalf of the inhabitants of the vicinity of New-Brunswick.
To which the President returned the following answer.
To the INHABITANTS of NEW-BRUNSWICK and its VICINITY.
GENTLEMEN, The esteem and affection of the inhabitants of the city of New-Brunswick and its vicinity, expressed in this excellent address, are very flattering to me, and cannot fail to meet with a cordial return of gratitude on my part.
The happiness you enjoyed in a government of laws, under the great and good Washington, was common to you, and all virtuous men in America. Even the very few who imagined, or pretended they disliked it, could not but be happy under it. The satisfaction you express in the choice of a successor, your approbation of his past services, and confidence in his political principles, demand his most strenuous endeavors to defer their continuance.
Your approbation of my sentiments of our foreign relations, and the measures we are pursuing afford me much consolation, as nothing can contribute so much to success, the continuance of peace, and the preservation of the honor and dignity of our national character, as a happy harmony among the people, and their union in sentiment with government.
If the voice of faction has been heard, and foreign influence has made a progress; if religion, morality and patriotism, have had much to fear; we have reason to believe that this has been chiefly due, to surprise and misrepresentation, aided by an enthusiasm for liberty too ardent, and intemperate. The progress of enquiry, and cir-

told them that they would go to Orleans that evening. The general had him immediately arrested, and conducted by a gendarme to Paris. The prisoners all complain of the inconvenience of their carriages—Three of them are sick, particularly Barthelemi. His countenance shows the alteration of his health; he is melancholy and sad. Pichegru, his countenance serene, his deportment firm; he preserves his military sang froid . After dinner they set off for Orleans, where they will arrive in the evening.

COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED.
September 13.
The central administration of Precy de Done congratulates the councils, that they had crushed the royalist conspirators. You have declared, says their address, that the French armies have deserved well of their country; well the whole people declare that you have well deserved their esteem. Honorable mention.
The republicans of Chalons-sur-Marne write as follows: By crushing the seeds of royalism you have well deserved of the country, &c.
A member observed that an article of the law passed on the organization of the gendarmerie , requires that each private shall be able to read and write correctly . So rigorous a condition, he observed, would drive from their places a crowd of decided republicans, whose families would be plunged into misery. He moved that this subject be referred to the military committee. Agreed.
The subject of finances was taken up. The report of a decree was adopted laying a tax on public carriages for the transportation of persons of one tenth part of the hire of such carriages, when they travel at stated periods, and on public carriages for the transportation of persons travelling occasionally as follows:
For a two wheeled carriage with two seats 20 livres per annum. For a two wheeled carriage with four seats 35. For a four wheeled carriage with four seats 40. For a four wheeled carriage with six seats and above, 50.
A turnpike toll for the receipt of monies to be exclusively appropriated to the repair of the highways was also agreed to. The receipts of each turnpike are to be rented out to the highest bidder. The plan is to be put in operation on the portions of highways nearest Paris, and thence to be extended gradually to the frontiers in every direction.
The establishment of a national lottery was also decreed.
In the name of the committee of inspectors Cales presented a report on a dress for the representatives of the people. [It should be remarked that the former project of decree on the subject of a costume for the legislature never became a law.] It was to consist in a blue coat red lining the collar and facings embroidered in gold; golden button stamped with a balance and level; a tricolor sash; a deep red silk cloak for the elders, and one rose color for the five hundred, which should fall four inches lower than the coat. Round hat with a feather, golden loop.
Chasal conceived this costume resembled too much the military dress. He offered another plan, which he conceived harmonized better with that of the directory.
Upon the motion of Coupe the council ordered the printing of the plan of Cales.
Sept. 14.
The citizens of Chinon congratulate the council on the events of the 18th Fructidor. The national representation say they is no longer under oppression, liberty is restored for them; long live the republic.
The administration of one of the cantons of the department of Allier, write that the administrators are awake, and ready to march against the enemies of the republic. Honourable mention in the minutes.
Jourdan (of Haute Vienne) called the attention of the council to the situation of the wounded defenders of the country, and the relations of those who had expired in the field of honor and of those who still served under the banners of the republic. He stated, that by the fall of assignats the compensation allowed them by the existing laws was merely nominal. On his motion a special committee was appointed on this subject.
Pons (of Verdun) proposed a decree tending to annul the prosecutions on foot against persons relative to the holding of the primary assemblies, and to restore to liberty the citizens who had been thrown into prison on the occasion. He moved, that urgency be declared and that the decree should pass without delay.
Philippe Delville, moved that it be printed, and the consideration adjourned.
Several members wished a question on the decree.
Pons (of Verdun) I am surprised that my colleague should wish the question adjourned. Does he not know, that in several of the departments the republicans are groaning in fetters? In the department of Nièvre alone, which was the head quarters of the royalists and chouans there are more than 200 who have been thrown into dungeons. These facts are certain, and I hope that Delville will cite others as a motive in favour of the adjournment.
Philippe Delville wished the delay because the measure was important, as it went to interrupt the usual course of justice. He admitted the facts brought forward by the reporter; but thought a delay of 24 hours could not be pregnant with very bad consequences.
Sautreau was opposed to the adjournment. Is it not, he asked, a great evil to suffer citizens to remain 24 hours in fetters? In my department a multitude of artisans have been imprisoned, by virtue of mandates of arrestation, executed in the night time, by the
gendarmerie, and accompanied with the most terrifying circumstances; and the royalists thus conducted themselves, in order to terrify the patriots, prevent their attendance at the assemblies and secure the elections.
The vote of urgency was carried and also the decree.
Echaffeaux, the elder, in the name of a special committee, made a report on the elections of St. Domingo. He concluded it by the following plan of decree, which was adopted.
Art. 1. The law which declares null the elections made by the electoral assembly, held at Cape-Francois, for the 4th year, is repealed. Consequently are admitted into the Legislative body, and will take their seats in the council of elders, the citizens Brother, Lavaux, and in the council of five hundred, the citizens Thomoni, Sonthonax, Perinault and Barre, jun.
11. The elections made by the electoral assembly, held at the Cape, on the 20th Germinal, 5th year of the Republic, are declared valid for four members, which St. Domingo has a right to send, agreeably to the last schedule of the number of deputies apportioned to each department. Consequently are declared members of the legislative body and shall take their seats in the council of elders the citizens Etienne Mentor and James Tonnelier, and in the council of five hundred, the citizens Pierre-Joseph Leborgne, and William-Henry Vergnaud.
To the tribunal of cassation (errors and appeal.) citizen Mirbek. Villiers called the attention of the council to the debt, pronouncing that one third of the interest on the public debt should be paid in cash, beginning with the last six months of the 5th year; and that the other two thirds shall be paid in notes, payable to bearer, which notes are to be received in payment for national domains. The tax on reselling (droit d'enregistrement) to be appropriated to the discharge of the debt third.
Pilon du Galand was averse to the plan. He wished the first part of the project adopted, that relating to the payment of the third in cash and the other postponed.
Julien Souhait thought the project more plausible than solid. It did not place the creditors on a better footing. He made this calculation: Supposing you give the creditors one third in cash, that will be 80 millions; but they now receive a fourth 60 millions, and certificates which may be put at 20 millions, making also 80 millions; of course they are as well situated as if the project would make them. He was in favour of a postponement.
Fabre took the part of the creditors also. He moved that the council should decree that the payment of the first third should be made agreeably to the plan proposed, and that the tax on reselling should be appropriated for this effect; and that part of the plan which relates to the two-thirds, be referred back to the committee, whom every member was invited to enlighten with their experience, by attending their sitting. Adopted.
Sept. 15.
POULAIN GRANGER brought forward a project of decree respecting the replacing of dismissed administrators, which was adopted.
The law of the 30th Messidor, which takes from the Directory the constitutional right of making those appointments, when there does not remain in the administration a number of members sufficient to deliberate was repealed. Administrations of the law now proposed are to fill up vacancies in their own body only when they have a number of members sufficient to deliberate; when they have not, the Directory are to make the appointment agreeably to the constitution.
VILLIERS in the name of the Financial Committee called the attention of the council to the subject of the public debt. The result of the sitting the committee had held last evening was, the impossibility of separating the two parts of the project, that relating to the one third to be paid in cash, and that proposing the other two thirds to be discharged by certificates payable to bearer, and receivable for national property. The two parts of the project should go hand in hand.
Such was the result of the deliberations of the committee; they had also to propose some additional articles discriminating in favor of small creditors.
Julien Souhait now supported the plan. One great desideratum, on which he laid the committee had agreed, was, that the sale of national property should be proceeded to with vigour. It served to attach the purchasers to the republic. Abuses had crept into this department; but the minister of finance had assured the committee that they were owing to the administrations which were composed chiefly of men who were enemies of the Republic and hindered the sales; but since the 18th Fructidor, the government will be able to watch effectually those administrators, and things have changed their complexion.
RETZ opposed the project of decree on the ground that it did not do full justice to the creditors. The contract between the state and its creditors could not without violating the first principles of justice be infringed. If it was, a slab would be given to public credit. He treated as chimerical the idea of redeeming national domains the two thirds to be paid now in paper. They might as well talk of the lands in California as those in St. Domingo which remained the property of the state.
VILLIERS argued, that the project did every justice to the creditor which they had in equity a right to expect, and which the state was able to give. He cited the example of the United States in favour of this mode of compromising with the creditors of the state. "You are told," he observed, "that credit will be prostrated." But how can it fall, when you will present to Europe a nation having no debt in comparison with England, which is weighed down under the weight of hers. He hoped the two parts of the subject would not be put asunder.
FABRE said, We must be just towards the citizens of France as well as to the creditors of the state. To be just towards the first, the legislature must decree not more taxes than the nation can pay. Who will assert that it is possible to require more than 616 millions of livres, which are already decreed. Yet this must be done if the creditors cannot be paid with the national domains, and the nation cannot pay more. He went on to show, that the project proposed was advantageous to the creditor and all they could expect from the state.
The project of the decree was then adopted.
PARIS, Sept. 14.
Central office of the Commune of Paris. The central office on the 22d Fructidor (8th Sept.) transmitted to the commissaries of police of the commune of Paris an abstract of the law of the 19th, of which they recommended the execution. By virtue of this law "every person accused of emigration, not definitively struck off the list, every returned emigrant, every priest condemned to transportation, who may have remained in the interior of this commune, in contravention to the law, and within 24 hours after, shall be arrested and carried before the tribunals."
"Also every ecclesiastical, who shall exercise a religious profession publicly without first having taken the oath required, and fulfilled the other conditions of the law of the 7th Vendemiaire of the 4th year."

BIOGRAPHICAL ANECDOTE.
In June, 1779, died in England, Mrs. Ross, celebrated for her beauty and constancy. Having met with opposition in her engagement with capt. Charles Ross, she followed him with men's clothes to America: where, after such a research and fatigue as scarce any of her sex could have undergone, she found him in the woods lying for dead, with a poisoned wound, after a skirmish with the Indians; when, having previously studied surgery in England, she saved his life by sucking his wound, and nursing him with scarce a covering, for a space of six weeks; during which time she remained unsullied by him, having died her face with lime and bark: The captain recovering, they removed into Philadelphia; where, as soon as he had found a clergyman to join her to him forever, she appeared as herself, the priest accompanying her.
They lived four years in a fondness that could only be interrupted by her declining health, the fatigue she had undergone, and the poison not properly expelled, which she had imbibed from his wound, undermining her constitution: the knowledge he had of it, and piercing regret for having been the occasion, affecting him still more sensibly, he died with a broken heart at John's town.
She lived to return, and implore forgiveness of her family, whom she had distressed so long by their ignorance of her destiny. She died, in consequence of her grief and affection, at the age of twenty six.
[This is probably the story on which the interesting novel of Emma Corbett is founded.]
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
Mr. FENNO, The following is an extract from a work, written by P. Kennedy, Esq. entitled an "Answer to Mr. Paine's letter to General Washington, or Mad Tom convicted of the blackest ingratitude." If it has not already appeared in print in America, you will probably think it worthy of a place in your paper. J. W. "Amid the convulsions which have for some years unhappily agitated the European world. Amid the horrors of a revolution, founded on animosities, hatred, massacres and blood, in which the human character has been exhibited in all its deformity, no man has laboured more unceasingly
to reanimate the links of social order, and to overturn religion, morality and government, than the enthusiastic, engraved, the ungrateful Tom Paine.
Having developed the inveterate malice, the subtle cruelty of his character in a series of wild discussions and dangerous theories, all tending to the overthrow of general prosperity and individual happiness in every country, he has now consummated his guilt, and given the most evident proofs of the foulness of his heart, by sacrificing the last little remnant of imputed patriotism, to a faithless and cowardly attack on his early benefactor and friend.
We are not surprised, because we discover plainly the immediate cause of the violent charge that has dictated the declarations of discontent, and threats of hostility, which continue to fill the columns of the French journals, against the firm and prudent conduct of the American Congress, aided by their respectable President. It is the business of the designing, ill-intentioned, ambitious leaders of faction in France, under the cloak of liberty, to practise all the arts of calumny, to mislead the people, and hurry them into the wildest measures. That Tom Paine should seize with avidity and with an activity, unfortunately in him combined with a most malignant disposition, every channel of inuendo against the British government, we cannot wonder at. But that he should add to the black catalogue of his crimes, that of deep ingratitude, by aiming to stab the fame, to murder the character of the man that cherished his political infancy and brought him forward into public life, proves that the assumed garb of modern philosophy is but a safer covering for the dagger of the assassin. An enemy of Great-Britain by principles of rebellion, by habits of abuse, by circumstances of political elevation and private interest, we have seen him direct the whole force of his imposing talents the specious trick of smooth phraseology, the cant of popular prejudices to discolour, to traduce the established forms of government and to overthrow the constitution of those kingdoms: But in his last performance, he out far outdoes his usual outdoings—he out strips depravity; and high over-leaping over-leaps all bounds—faithful to his avowed principles of anarchy and commotion, he boldly soars to the last and greatest of crimes, ingratitude, and arraigns the illustrious Washington for his persevering and virtuous attachment to the order, the prosperity of the American States.
In the phrensy of gallic zeal, he forgets that he fell a victim in his turn to the fury of faction; and that in despite of his labours for a series of years in the cause of revolutionary government; he was confined to a dungeon; and eventually rescued from the guillotine, which carried off his fellow-actors on the great revolutionary theatre, after fruiting their hour on the bloody stage, only by the generous interference of those peaceful Americans, whom he now loads with reproach and obliquy, because they will not sacrifice individual virtue, and rational wisdom to the insolent dictation of French partisans and domestic anarchists. One would have thought that the situation of distress and suffering, into which Paine was hurried, among the other revolutionary heroes of his day, and his narrow escape from the gripe of the guillotine, should have checked the raccoones scribendi, and awed him from meddling further in political affairs. But it seems that confinement tended only to sharpen the edge of calumny, and to point more keenly the shafts of slander against all that men are taught to respect in society—morality and religion. The moment of his deliverance from prison, was like the opening of pandora's box, marked by the issuing forth of a more pestilential vapour than what he had before sent into the world. Religion, that great cement and bond of public order—the gracious harbinger of peace and happiness to mankind, became the object of his scurrility and ridicule. Maxims arrayed in all the false colourings and unseemly glare of subtle attraction, were propagated and diligently spread abroad to catch the prejudices of the unthinking and ignorant, as well as to gratify the conceits and vanity of the dissolute and profane.
