And be it further enacted, That any tobacco, being the growth or production of any of the territories of the said United States of America, may be imported in British or American ships, owned and navigated as herein-before required, upon payment of the same duties of customs and excise as tobacco imported by British subjects, from any British colony or plantation in America, is or may hereafter be subject to; and that any snuff, being the production or manufacture of Europe, imported from Europe, is or hereafter may be subject to, and may be warehoused and again exported; such tobacco and snuff to be subject respectively nevertheless to all and singular the regulations, restrictions, penalties and forfeitures relating to the importation and exportation thereof, or in any other respect relating thereto, of an act made and passed in the 20th year of the reign of his present majesty, intitled, "an act for repealing the duties on tobacco and snuff, and for granting new duties in lieu thereof;" and another act passed in the 13th year of his present majesty, intitled, "an act to explain and amend an act made in the last session of parliament, intitled, "an act for repealing the duties on tobacco and snuff, and for granting new duties in lieu thereof;" or of any other act since made relating thereto, subject also, when imported in American ships, to the countervailing duties imposed by this act: Provided always, that such tobacco shall be accompanied with a manifest, as by law required.
VII. And be it further enacted, That any rice, being the growth or production of any of the territories of the United States of America, which shall be imported directly from thence into any of the ports of Great-Britain, in manner before-mentioned, may, upon the importer paying down in ready money, the duty of eight pence the hundred weight, being part of the duties now payable on the importation of rice, be landed and warehoused, except as herein-after provided, under the joint locks of his majesty and the importer, in such warehouses as shall be approved of for that purpose by the commissioners of his majesty's customs, or any four or more of them in that part of Great-Britain called England, or any three or more of them in that part of Great-Britain called Scotland, or by the collector and comptroller of his majesty's customs of the respective ports into which such rice shall be imported, upon the importer's own bond for payment of the remainder of the duties due and payable for such rice, within 18 months, according to the net weight and quantity of such rice at the time it shall be so landed: Provided always, that upon the importation of any such rice into the ports of London, Bristol, Portsmouth, Cowes, Liverpool, Lancaster, Falmouth, Poole, Whitehaven, Hull, Greenock and Port Glasgow, or either of them, in the manner herein-before expressed, the importer shall be at liberty to enter and land the same, without payment of any duty whatever, upon condition that such rice shall be warehoused under the joint locks of his majesty and the importers, in such warehouse or warehouses as shall be approved of for that purpose by the commissioners of his majesty's customs, or any four or more of them in that part of Great-Britain called England, or any three or more of them in that part of Great-Britain called Scotland, or by the collector and comptroller of his majesty's customs of the respective ports where such rice shall be imported; and that every expense attending such warehousing shall be borne by the said importers; and that such importer or importers, or his or their known servant, shall from time to time, at all seasonable hours, as occasion may require, have free access to such warehouses, in the presence of some proper officer of the customs, for the purpose of the port of screening and shifting the rice, to prevent its receiving damage; and that if any rice, which shall be so imported from the territories of the said United States into any of the ports above-mentioned respectively, and warehoused as aforesaid, shall be taken out of the warehouses wherein the same shall be secured under the joint locks of his majesty and the importers as aforesaid, for some consumption, the full duties due and payable by law, upon the importation of such rice into this kingdom for home consumption, and also when imported in American ships, the countervailing duty imposed by this act shall, previously to its being taken out of such warehouses, be paid to the collector of his majesty's customs at the port where such rice shall be so warehoused, but that such importer, if he intends to export such rice, shall have liberty to export the same from such warehouses respectively, under the same regulations under which such rice might be exported by law immediately before the passing of this act, without payment of any duty whatever: Provided, that the exportation of any such rice, hereafter to be warehoused under the authority of this act, be made within the said space of 18 months; but if not exported within that period, that the full duties payable by law, and also when imported in American ships, the countervailing duty imposed by this act shall be paid for the same, and not be afterwards drawn back; and that if any rice, which shall have been imported into any port of this kingdom, not herein-before specially named, and shall have been warehoused upon the importer's bond, in manner aforesaid, shall, within the time herein before-mentioned, be taken out of the warehouse wherein it shall be so secured, to be exported directly from thence, the bond entered into for the payment of the said duties thereon shall be discharged and cancelled by debenture or debentures, made out and passed in the usual manner, for the quantity or quantities of rice duly exported; and if any rice imported into any port of this kingdom, not herein-before specially named, and warehoused in manner aforesaid, shall be taken out of any such warehouse for home consumption, the remainder of the duties due and payable by law, and also when imported in American ships, the countervailing duty by this act imposed, shall, previously to its being taken out of such warehouse, be paid to the collector of his majesty's customs at the port where such rice shall be so warehoused: Provided, that if any rice warehoused under the authority of this act shall remain in such warehouse beyond the period of 18 months, upon which the full duties due and payable by law shall not have been paid, then in such case the same shall and may be sold for the duties, in like manner and under the same rules, regulations and restrictions, as any other goods are now directed by law to be sold for the duties, and the produce applied in like manner as is directed by an act passed in the 12th year of the reign of her late majesty, queen Anne, intitled, "an act for encouraging the tobacco trade."
VIII. Provided always, and be it further enacted, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the importation of rice and other articles, without payment of any duty whatever, by virtue of an act, passed in the present session of parliament, intitled, "An act to prohibit the exportation of corn, meal, flour, and potatoes, and to permit the importation of corn and other articles of provision, for a limited time, in any ships whatever, without payment of duty," and in the manner in the said act mentioned, during the continuance thereof.
IX. And be it further enacted, that all goods, wares and merchandise so imported from the United States of America, shall, upon the exportation thereof to any foreign country, be entitled to the same drawbacks as are or may hereafter be by law allowed upon the exportation of goods, wares and merchandise of the like denomination and description, when exported to any foreign country; and that there shall be allowed and paid the same drawbacks and bounties on goods, wares and merchandise, exported from this kingdom to the territories of the United States, or any of them, as are or may hereafter be allowed by law upon the exportation of goods, wares and merchandise of the like denomination or description, to any of the islands, plantations, or colonies belonging to the crown of Great-Britain in America.
X. And be it further enacted, That there shall be allowed and paid the same drawbacks upon the exportation of any fort of foreign hemp or foreign iron, exported from this kingdom to any British colony or plantation in America, or any of them, as are or may hereafter be allowed by law upon the exportation of the like fort of hemp or iron to other foreign parts.
XI. And whereas, by the said fifteenth article of the treaty before mentioned, the British government reserves to itself the right of imposing such a duty as may be adequate to countervail the difference of duty now payable on the importation of European and Asiatic goods, when imported into the United States in British or in American vessels, be it therefore enacted by the authority aforesaid, That, from and after the fifth day of January, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-eight, there shall be raised, levied, collected and paid, to and for the use of his majesty, his heirs and successors, on the importation into this kingdom of goods, wares, and merchandise herein-after-mentioned or described, being of the growth, production, or manufacture of any of the territories of the United States of America, and imported directly from thence in American ships or vessels, owned and navigated as by this act is required, the following additional duties of customs; that is to say, on the importation of any such goods, wares, and merchandise as aforesaid (except tobacco and other articles, for which provision is herein-after made) an additional duty, at and after the rate of ten pounds per centum on the produce and amount of the several duties of
customs due and payable by law on the importation into this kingdom of the like goods or merchandise, from any of the said United States, in British ships or vessels; on the importation of any such pig iron, bar iron, pot-ash and pearl ash, in manner aforesaid, an additional duty, at and after the rate of ten pounds per centum on the produce and amount of the several duties of customs due and payable by law on the importation into this kingdom of any such goods from any British colony or plantation in America, when not accompanied with the certificates required by law, on the importation, in manner aforesaid, of any such pitch, tar, turpentine, rosin, mahogany, masts, yards, and bowsprits, and manufactured goods and merchandise as aforesaid, (wood, slaves, and tobacco excepted) an additional duty at and after the rate of ten pounds per centum on the produce and amount of the several duties of customs due and payable by law on the importation of any such goods into this kingdom from any British colony or plantation in America; on the importation, in manner aforesaid, of any such manufactured wood and slaves, an additional duty, at and after the rate of ten pounds per centum on the produce and amount of the several duties of customs due and payable by law on the importation of any such goods into this kingdom from any part of Europe, not within his majesty's dominions, in British built ships or vessels; on the importation, in manner aforesaid, of any oil made from fish, or creatures living in the sea, and blubber, whale fins, and spermaceti, being the produce of the fisheries, carried on by the people of the United States, and imported directly from thence into this kingdom in American ship or vessels, owned and navigated as by this act is required, an additional duty, at and after the rate of ten pounds per centum on the produce and amount of the several duties of customs due and payable by law on the importation of any such goods into this kingdom from countries not under the dominion of his majesty; on the importation, in manner aforesaid, of any such tobacco so imported, an additional duty of customs, at and after the rate of one shilling, and sixpence for every hundred pounds weight of such tobacco.
XII. Provided always, That nothing in this act contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to charge or impose the duty of ten pounds per centum by this act imposed on certain goods and merchandise imported into this kingdom from the said United States, in American ships, on the produce or amount of the respective duties of five pounds per centum, and of ten pounds per centum, granted to his Majesty, by an act made in the present session of parliament, intitled, "An act for granting to his Majesty certain duties of customs, on goods, wares, and merchandise, imported into, exported from, or brought and carried coastwise within Great-Britain, except wine, and except coals when brought or carried coastwise; and for applying the money to arise by virtue of an act, passed in the last session of parliament, intitled, 'An act for reduction of the drawbacks and bounties now allowed on the exportation of sugar, towards defraying the increased charge occasioned by any loan granted, or stock created, by an act or acts passed in the last session of parliament.'
XIII. Provided always, That if any goods or merchandise so imported from the United States of America shall be permitted, by virtue of any act or acts of parliament in force at the time of such importation, to be secured in warehouses, without the payment of the duties due on the importation thereof, then and in such case the additional duties of customs, by this act imposed, shall not be payable unless and until such goods shall be taken out of such warehouse for the purpose of being used or consumed in this kingdom.
XIV. Provided always, That nothing in this act contained shall extend, or be construed to extend, to repeal or any wise alter the duties of package, scavage, ballage, or portage, or any other duties payable to the mayor and commonality and citizens of the city of London, or to the lord mayor of the said city for the time being, or to any other city or town corporate within the kingdom of Great-Britain, or to repeal or any wise alter any special privilege or exemption to which any person or persons, bodies politic or corporate, is or are now entitled by law, but the same shall be continued as heretofore.
XV. And be it further enacted, That such of the duties of customs and excise, by this act imposed, as shall arise in that part of Great-Britain called England, shall be under the management of the respective commissioners of the customs and excise in England for the time being, and such thereof as shall arise in that part of Great-Britain called Scotland, shall be under the management of the respective commissioners of the customs and excise in Scotland for the time being.
XVI. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the duties of customs and excise, and the drawbacks of the duties of customs and excise upon, for or in respect of the several goods, wares or merchandise by this act imposed and allowed, shall and may be respectively managed, ascertained, raised, levied, collected, answered, paid, recovered and allowed, in such and the like manner, and in or by any or either of the means, ways, or methods, by which the former duties of customs and excise, and drawbacks of duties of customs and excise, upon goods, wares, or merchandise in general, and also by any or either of the special means, ways or methods respectively, by which the former duties of customs and excise, and drawbacks of duties of customs and excise, upon goods, wares, or merchandise, of the same sorts or kinds respectively, were or might be managed, ascertained, levied, raised, collected, answered, paid, recovered and allowed, and the goods, wares, or merchandise, so by this act respectively made liable to the pay-
ment of, or chargeable with duties of customs and excise, or so entitled to drawback of duties of customs and excise, upon the importation thereof into, or exportation thereof from Great-Britain, or on any other account whatever, shall be, and the same are hereby made subject and liable to all and every the conditions, regulation, rules, restrictions, and forfeitures, to which goods, wares, or merchandise in general, and also all and every the special conditions, rules, restrictions, regulations, and forfeitures respectively, to which the like goods, wares, or merchandise respectively were subject and liable by any act or acts of parliament in force on and immediately before the passing of this act respecting the revenues of customs and excise, except where any alteration is expressly made by this act; and all and every pain, penalty, fine or forfeiture, of any nature or kind whatever, for any offence whatever, committed against or in any breach of any act or acts of parliament, in force on and immediately before the passing of this act, made for securing the revenue of customs and excise, or for the regulation or improvement thereof, and the several clauses, powers and directions therein contained (unless where expressly altered by this act) shall and are hereby directed and declared to extend to, and shall be respectively applied, practised and put in execution, for and in respect of the several duties of customs and excise, and drawbacks of duties of customs and excise, hereby charged and allowed, in as full and ample manner, to all intents and purposes whatever, as if all and every the said acts, clauses, provisions, powers, directions, fines, pains, penalties or forfeitures, were particularly repeated and re-enacted in the body of this act.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, September 13.
The persons arrested on Monday morning the 4th of September are the two Directors, Carnot and Barthélemy; between 60 and 70 of the members of the two Councils; and the authors and printers of two and thirty periodical publications, which had exposed the conduct of the Directory as unconstitutional.
The accusation preferred against those persons is a conspiracy to restore royalty; and the documents on which the charge is founded are a variety of papers said to be found in the Portefeuille of M. d'Entraignes.—On the authenticity of these papers it is not for us to attempt to comment.
The most arbitrary and unconstitutional measures have been the immediate result of this violent explosion. The Councils, at the instigation of the Directory, WITH-OUT ANY TRIAL, have pronounced a sentence of banishment on the accused deputies. And the Triumvirate make a merit of not putting them to death, as it would not be necessary to produce some proof against them on their trials; and consequently to submit their documents to the investigation of counsel.
The same councils have annulled all the laws which repealed several of the atrocious decrees passed during the reign of Robespierre, and evidently repugnant to the principles upon which the constitution is professed to be founded. They have removed even the feeble barriers which that constitution had interposed to the creation of arbitrary power on the part of the Directory. They have authorised them to call what troops they please to Paris, and to take such means as to them shall seem expedient for the safety of the country. In short, they have basely surrendered their own rights and those of their constituents; sanctioned a virtual annihilation of the constitution, and the establishment of an absolute or military Government.
All the Editors and printers of the proscribed journals have been committed to prison, preparatory to their trial, and the press is placed under the superintendence of the Police: Therefore, all the public intelligence from Paris hereafter will come through the partial channel of the Directorial presses.
A small Paris paper of the 18th inst. is said to be received in town, which however contains no material news. It is mentioned that Jourdan had moved and carried the appointment of a new committee, as the late military committee are for transportation. Several other alterations have ensued. The members appointed to the new military committee are—Savory, Talot, Portes, Martiu, Echasseriaux, Ludot and Jourdan.
September 14.
A private letter from Paris, dated the 7th inst. we yesterday received from a very intelligent correspondent. After a cursory view of affairs, which merely confirms the statements already made in the various papers, the writer assures us, "that the Directory had some hours before dispatched a special messenger to Lille, ordering the commissioner or plenipotentiary on the part of France to demand from Lord Malmesbury a categorical answer to the last proposition. Should his lordship hesitate to comply with the request, or should his answer be hostile to the views of the Directory, an intimation was to be given him, that his speedy departure from France would be satisfactory."
This letter also mentions, that "Moreau had been invited to Paris by the Directory; and that on the 6th inst. he was arrested at St. Dennis on his route to the capital.—Moreau, one of the greatest heroes of modern times, and the bosom friend of Pichegru, was, when at the head of his army, viewed by the Directory with much jealousy and fear. They knew that his political sentiments corresponded with those of Pichegru; and they dreaded his great popularity among the soldiers—those soldiers who had refused to address the Directory against the Councils."
"To excite murmurs and discontent, to render the Councils unpopular, and the
the [repeated text from the previous block, likely a scanning error or intentional repetition in the source material].

senation of Morveau exceedingly disagreeable, the Directory refused for months to pay the arrears of the troops. To exculpate them on the occasion, message after message was sent to the Councils, describing the very alarming state of the finances. These and other measures of a similar nature produced the desired effect: and the Triumvirate, by an audacious violation of the constitution, arrested all those who were supposed hostile to their interest. Morveau and many others have thus fallen victims to their vengeance; and France is now under a military despotism."
On Monday there commenced a speculation on the Stock Exchange, which went to the purchase of above half a million of a stock for one part, and this obviously in the view of a speedy peace.
Monday the Tribune and Succès frigates with the convoy for Halifax, &c. failed from Cowes.
Rear Admiral Nelson, in consequence of the loss of his arm, is to retire from actual service. He will be placed on the superannuated list of rear-admirals, with an allowance of 17s. 6d. per day; besides which, it is supposed, a pension will be granted him for his past services.
Lieut. Knight, late of the Diamond, with Messrs. Carroll, Harvey, and Beccroft, the latter of whom had been badly wounded, and all the men taken with Sir Sidney Smith at Havre, have been exchanged.
LIVERPOOL, September 11.
Capt. Pince, arrived here yesterday from Nantz, left there captains Wright, Sellars, Crow, and M'Callen, of this port.
At his capture, orders were issued from the Minister of Marine, that all English prisoners were to be detained; and that the next ship that was brought into Nantz, the passengers, captain and crew would be put into prison, and allowed nothing but bread and water, in consequence of their receiving ill treatment in England.
All the English captains here attest, that they might have obtained a passport long since, but owing to the conduct of a master of a vessel of this port, who the commissary informed, had given his word and honor to fend over another in his room, which he has omitted.
There were at Nantz two frigates, which by this time, are ready for sea—Le Lion and Le Creole, both of the same force, 44 guns each. It was reported that they were destined for the East-Indies.
DRESDEN, August 12.
On Tuesday last his Swedish Majesty arrived here in the Krickstein from Leipzig. This Prince is very plainly dressed, that he may be less noticed, and approaches citizens of every class, without constraint. He lately said, that Kings can only see the truth when masked. When on Friday last, he was in the garden of Mr. Richter, he retired the moment he found that he was known.
PARIS, September 4.
The Minister of War, to the Armies, and to the Military Divisions.
"The dark veil which covered the republic is at last removed. Let your courage be reanimat- ed, brave soldiers! The genius of liberty still hovers over France, and you have not vainly shed your blood in the cause of freedom. The struggle between the odious abettors of royalty and the faithful friends of the republic has ceased. Warriors of every rank! you need no longer fear that your rulers will be tarnished by those base men who never shared your dangers, and who, insensible to the glory which your triumphs have reflected on your country, would make a sacrifice of your innumerable victories to the throne. Men of courage at last accepted the challenge of royalty. They lifted up its gantlet, and instantly the hideous spectre disappeared. Soldiers of liberty! remain calm in the midst of the storm. Listen to the voice of your chiefs, and of the government which watches for you: preserve yourselves in that imposing attitude which strikes terror into your enemies both abroad and at home. You will speedily enjoy the fruits of your triumphs, of your sacrifices, and your devotion. To supply those wants which a malevolent faction has so long made you endure, is the first duty of our earnest solicitudes: the republic owes to you its glory, and it will endeavour to acquit the debt. Its happiness and yours are ever inseparable."
(Signed) SCHERER, Minift. at War. The minister of the interior to the central administrations of the departments, and to the commissioners of the Executive Directory in those administrations.
"Citizens,
"The departments have been too often deceived with regard to what passes in Paris. The authentic documents annexed to this letter will make known to you the truth. The republic has triumphed over the royalists conspirators. The constitution of the third year has this day escaped from the rage of those who wished to destroy it. If any suggestions are made against these facts, you have it in your power to establish them. Take the proper means of enlightening the people of your departments, by publishing all the papers I have sent you. The partizans of the throne may attempt to avenge themselves on the republicans. You ought to declare, that all the constituted authorities, civil and military, remain responsible for all assassinations or attempts made to disturb the public peace. Should the agents of a counter-revolution establish a false legislature out of Paris, or remain in the legislative body, you are required to oppose them with all your power, under the pain of being declared in a state of rebellion. Remember that you are the guarantees of the tranquillity of your departments. The Executive Directory relies on your zeal. Give me immediate assurance of your diligence and efforts in preserving order and peace. Vive la Republique! (Signed) "François de Neufchâteau."
"Minister of the Interior."
By this day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 7.
The marquis de Bouille (said to be arrested in France with Dumourier) is in England. It is his son the count who is on the continent.
In the late proscription of the deputies by the legislative body of France, their fate appears to have depended generally on the opinion of a single member. As the names were read over in rotation in the councils, it was supported or proscribed, on the declaration of any individual. It must be IMPERIOUS necessity, indeed, that can warrant so flagrant a violation of every principle of justice.
BARBE MARBOIS. We mistook yesterday in naming him among the new party. In the proceedings of the council of elders, of which he was a member, we noticed the name of MARBOIS, which for the moment we mistook for him. He is, we regret to find, among the proscribed.
PASTORET, who not long since presented a lengthy report on the relations between France and the United States, favorable to us, is also among the proscribed. In short, the change that has taken place does not add to our former hopes of a speedy accommodation of differences. While France continues subject to those repeated revolutions, in men and things, stability, or even rectitude of conduct, is not, from past events, to be looked for by any neutral nation.
We this day continue the regular detail of the late revolution in France—We closed yesterday with the proclamation of the directory on the 4th of September; and the articles following now are in regular succession; and which will be continued till the whole shall be completed.
As we mentioned before, the development of the conspiracy is grounded on a disclosure of a variety of papers, the detail of which is extremely lengthy. To have a clear view of them, however, it is absolutely necessary to preserve a strict connection of them as detailed from the French papers.
In addition to this connected plan, however—we shall give separate articles of a later date. Our Paris dates of 12, 13, and 14th September, are three days later than any others which have been published.
The address of the Legislative Body to the armies and departments gives nearly similar information to what was contained in the address to the citizens of Paris published yesterday, and in that to the French people, which we give this day.
The latest London papers in our possession of the 16th and 18th of September, give many of the papers alluded to in the above different addresses. These papers were seized at Venice. The following form a part.

BLACKENBURGH, Nov. 24, 1796.
"The king has learned, with the greatest satisfaction, that his agents at Paris are exerting themselves with the utmost vigour, to reconcile to him the members of the two councils and the present administration, that they have never lost sight of the grand point
to which all their interests ought to tend, and that they flatter themselves that they shall be able entirely to gain over those whose sentiments they have transmitted."
"Among all the means to increase the influence of the party managed by the agents of the king, there are three which are the principal."
"To remove from the administration the regicides, their leaders, and those of the Jacobins."
"To exert themselves to secure the new elections."
"To gain and bring back as many as possible of the party now known by the name of the Ventre (the belly.)"
"The most recent opinions on the present situation of the two councils, render this point extremely important; and the king thinks it incumbent on him to add this instruction to all the former he has confirmed, as well as those you will find at London, in the possession of the Due d'Harcourt, in copies signed and approved by his Majesty."
"The king wishes you would remit him more complete information relative to the state of the party, the sentiments of which you have explained, especially relative to the connexion you mention in the letter of the 25th May, with one of the two principal armies, and also concerning the association (of Clichy) which appears to have been lately formed, and which you will not fail to explain in your next letter."
"His Majesty continues to desire that such messengers may be sent as may be judged proper to be employed in such a mission."
"I approve of the contents of this instruction, which the chevalier Duvayn will transmit to those gentlemen."

PARIS, Sept. 12.
General Berthier is arrived in this city. He is reported to be the bearer of a treaty of peace concluded with the Emperor.
The military posts on the bridges, and in the public squares have been removed.
The deputies condemned to transportation, including Barthelémy, were sent off on the night of the 9th inst. They were escorted by some troops under general Duferrier, who is empowered to call on the armed force wherever he may deem it necessary. They have taken the route to Orleans, and are to be embarked for Rochefort. It is now said that they are not to be sent to Madagascar, but to a settlement in South America, which has been ceded to us by the late treaty with Portugal.
Some of the dreamers of news say, that Car-not has been killed by his colleagues in the place of their fittings. If so, an invisible genius must have taken away the body of the deceased, for every inquiry being made, not even a trace of it is to be found!
September 13.
Although the last Law on the Press submits for a year the periodical publications to the inspection of the police, the legislative body has no other intentions than that of setting bounds to the licentiousness of the press. The legislative body neither has derogated, nor intends to derogate by this law of regulation, from the declaration of rights, annexed to the Constitution, and which secures by a special article to every citizen the right of publishing his thoughts. Were it otherwise, we must agree that a revolutionary government supercedes a Constitutional order, which is not the case.—(Annales Politiques.)
Gilbert Desfomieress was last night arrested in the environs of Neuilly. He is now in the Temple.—(La Sentinelle.)
Legarde, the general of brigade who refused to obey the orders of the Directory for his going to Italy, is superseded from his functions.
September 14.
A report has been spread for a few days past, that the deputies, to the number of 172, had published a protest against the events of the 4th September. Hitherto we have refused to insert intelligence of this importance, because we thought that the nature of our functions imposed on us the duty of not giving credit to a measure which committed the public tranquillity.
Le Journal des Lois and des Faits, of the 11th Sept. assures us in the most positive manner, that this protest, signed by 172 names, is in existence. In spite, however, of this declaration, we have strong reasons for doubting the authenticity of this intelligence, and our opinion is founded on these circumstances:
The 4th of September a great number of deputies met, those of the Council of Elders at La Fond Ladébat, and those of the council of Five Hundred at André de la Loferre. As Lafond and André both of them reside in the street of Neuve de Luxembourg, the two meetings were thus at each other's doors. The assembly at André's consisted of 82 members, and Pastoret presided.
An address for a protest to the French people was proposed and unanimously adopted. All the members present had signed it, when a detachment of cavalry appeared, commissioned to surround the house of Lafond Ladébat, who was taken from his house as well as all the members of the Council of Elders, present at the meeting. This intelligence led to the belief that the police, informed of the meeting of the members of the council of five hundred, was about to take the same measures with respect to them.—The meeting was however dissolved, without any resolution being taken.—(Annales Politiques.)
Legallais, a member of the council of five
hundred, declared in a sitting of the 8th, on a motion for the order of it, that the day of the 4th September, was a complete Revolution; but fortunately, Salicetti, in the council of five hundred; and Baudin in the Elders, have victoriously destroyed this assertion, by maintaining that the 4th September, instead of being a Revolution, had been the means of preventing a counter-revolution. We may see that every thing in this world depends on a good definition.—(Gazette Poétique.)
BALTIMORE, November 4.
Last evening arrived brig Betty, capt. Van Beurin, from Belfast, which place she left on the 6th September. By this arrival we are favored with Dublin and Belfast papers to the 4th Sept. and London papers to the 31st August, one day later than any heretofore received on this continent:—the following appears to be the most material—More copious extracts in our next.
Peace Contradicted!!
LONDON, August 30.
We yesterday translated literally the articles relative to a pretended peace between France and England, contained in the Paris Gazettes, which we received by express. The late hour, however, at which these papers came to our hands, prevented us then from making any observations on the probability of the intelligence that they announced: but we are sorry to be now under the necessity of stating that it is totally void of foundation. We have, indeed, every reason to believe, that these accounts have been fabricated at Paris for the same purpose that the L'Eclair was last year forged in London, namely, that of having an effect on the funds. The scheme, however, of the unprincipled stock jobbers who were the authors of this falsehood, appears to have completely failed; the desired impression did not take place; for the stocks, which opened at 53 for time, rose only to 53 1-2, and soon fell back to 53.
August 31.
Letters from Dover state, that a person concerned in the fabrication of the false intelligence inserted in the Paris gazette, relative to peace between this country and France, for the purpose of its being copied into English papers, is now in custody at Calais.
From a Paris paper of August 28.
"The joy occasioned by the news of the signing of preliminaries of peace with England, was only the joy of a moment. The very persons who had been so eager to confirm the intelligence, almost at the same instant announced that the proposals made by lord Malmesbury, and acceded to by the French commissioners, were not agreed to by the directory. The majority of its members persist in refusing the Cape of Good Hope to the English, and are determined to retain the port of Ostend, such as it was given up to us by the Emperor."

GLORIOUS NEWS.
The pirate le Grouper, which fitted and armed in this port, and immediately proceeded to search and capture American vessels on the coast, has arrived at the Havannah. All the officers and the crew have been arrested and put in confinement, on a charge of piracy. It is well known that the Grouper was originally a French privateer; having remained in this port till her commission was out of date, she was sold and purchased by men who cloaked their own proprietorship by other names. She was dispatched from hence to Augustine, where she did not arrive until after firing at and examining several Americans; at Augustine she was chartered by government to take Spanish convicts to the Havannah, and on her passage captured several vessels, for which her crew have been since arrested as pirates, the vessel having never obtained a commission.
An officer of the Grouper has declared that she is owned one half by a merchant in this city, who paid the whole of the purchase money, and one half by a Spaniard in Augustine. DeChamps and co. were only the underlings; the whole budget will soon be opened.
A most barbarous and shocking Murder was committed yesterday afternoon, by Peter Benoit, who had the care of Fort Mechanic. A number of children and youths, as is too commonly a practice, were amusing themselves on the ramparts, Sunday afternoon; among the number was Master Peter Smith, a boy of 14 or 15 years, second son of Peter Smith, esq. In the course of their gambols this youth took hold of the flag staff rope, which hoisted and lowered the colours, when an altercation ensued, and Benoit, with the coolness and deliberation of a savage, took up a musket and shot him. The youth expired instantly, and without uttering a word; a jury of inquest has been held upon the body, and Benoit is secured in gaol.

The last article of the French constitution runs in these words—"the French people constitute the present constitution to the fidelity of the legislative body, of the executive directory, the administrators and judges; to the vigilance of the heads of families; to the wives and the mothers; to the education of the young citizens; to the courage of all Frenchmen." As to the directory, they violate the constitution when they please; but the wives will doubtless keep the constitution as well as they do their husbands. Twenty thousand divorces only in about three years in Paris! Such wives and mothers must be excellent depositaries of the constitution, which they are directed to take into their keeping. (N.Y. Bap.)
