Hand in hand with it, went rebellion against lawful authority, which after running a course of bloodshed, destruction of property and the overthrow of all civil and religious establishments, at last came to its goal (according to the natural succession of cause and consequence) in the most atrocious despotism, and in the most frightful depravation of morals and manners. Just the same game is now playing in this country and will and must come to the same end, if means are not taken to prevent it. It is a confidence to say that we are a free people, and cannot be so practised upon. The animated freedom, the heroic patriotism, the universal unyielding piety, and the pure and inflexible virtue of Switzerland, little availed her against artifices which did not suspect, against excesses to which she opposed only contemptuous toleration, and against plots, conspiracies and conspirators, to which an overweening confidence in her own strength, afforded impunity. Had the insurrection stopped the proceedings at her Jacobin illumination, she would not be at this day, struggling for her lost liberties, and withering under the all-consuming but fatal shade of French protection. Let America profit by her example, for she does not deserve slavery.
They have not read of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, who will suspect the author of great partiality for the cause of religion, yet Mr. Gibbon in a letter to Lord Sheffield, written in the year 1790 from Switzerland where he then resided, mentions the frightful alteration which French intercourse had made in that country, and says, "I have sometimes thought of writing a dialogue of the dead, in which Lucian, Erasmus, and Voltaire should mutually acknowledge the danger of exposing an old superstition to the contempt of the blind and fanatic multitude." In the same letter he says, "I subscribe my assent to Mr. Burke's creed on the Revolution of France; I admire his eloquence; I approve his politics; I adore his chivalry; and I can almost forgive his reverence for church establishments." Thus he who could only bring himself to almost forgive Burke's reverence for church establishments out of compliment to his general principles, disapproves because he recognizes the danger of exposing even an old superstition to the contempt of the blind and fanatic multitude. So much for the authority of opinion. Having premised this, we proceed to lay before our readers an abstract of Mr. Wood's state-
ment. He alleges that for three years past there has existed in New York a secret society, grafted upon and in all shapes resembling the sects of Illuminati to which Abbe Barruel and Professor Robinson have attributed all the disasters which have befallen the nations of Europe. After mentioning the Illuminatis in Europe he proceeds—
"The society in New York, which I am about to describe, was in fact a society of this nature, erected in rebellion to the religious acts of the state. This will be proved from their constitution, and the confession of several of the members. It was a society fraught with the blackest intentions, to overturn the divine revelation, and to raise the hand of opposition against the opinion of every christian. Their scheme was not confined to the state of New York, but following the example of the Illuminati in Europe, it will be seen from the ninth article of their printed constitution, that they had corresponding committees, to propagate their new philosophy throughout the world."
Again— "The origin of this society was, however, more systematical than either the Tellers of Switzerland, or any other perhaps of the description which has been established. It arose upon the ruins of the celebrated democratic society of New York, in the same manner as the Illuminati originated from the remarkable lodge of the Eclectic Masonry, at Munich, called the Theodore of good council; it was composed of the scattered dregs of the Jacobin infidels, who covered the democratic society with disgrace, and shed a degree of odium upon the pure doctrine of republicanism, which the efforts of the virtuous patriot will not for years wipe away; it issued from the tomb of its fallen parent, like a foul spectre, blotted with crimes, gaping with vengeance, and eager to drag the weak and unsuspicious mind into the abyss of eternal torment. As the graceless son of a graceless family, most frequently exerts all his ingenuity to complete the infamy of a ruined reputation, so the members of the Theistical Society meditated upon every scheme to add the last reproach to their characters, already broken and despised. The imported scum of the Edinburgh convention, and the refuse of the banished rebels of Ireland, joined also their hearts and hands with the infidels of New York, in planning this society. It was in short a
combination of treachery, of indigence, of frenzy, intemperance and every species of polluted baseness, for the purpose of combating religion, virtue and wisdom. Among such a motley crew, one might suppose their resolutions would be marked with folly and ignorance; but this was not the case; for although all the devils which issued from Pandora's box, may be supposed to have had a voice in their decrees; yet it is to be remembered, that each of them had been previously exercised for several years in similar schemes, and therefore knew how to glos the blackest villainy under the specious veil of morality. They were no novices in this respect; they were not strangers to the art of cunning or deceit. They were well acquainted both how to make, and lay their traps, so as to be invisible to any eye, not tinged with suspicion. Like seditious robbers, they associated with, feigned and copied the habits of industry and religion during the day, that they might with more security in their nightly cabals, mangle the divine revelation into a banquet of pleasure, and season the works of the Fathers, with the seeds of Epicurean philosophy. All their intercourse, all their actions and dealings were infectious. They were the hidden instruments of vice and torment; like poisonous plants, corrupting all about them."
Mr. Wood then acknowledges that to this general description there are some exceptions of well-meaning men, deluded by the artful, specious logic of their friends— "But these well meaning members were kept apart, as will be proved, from the ringleaders—they were totally unacquainted with their schemes—they imagined nothing was transacted but in their presence—they had no idea that there were different grades in the society—they were ignorant of the diabolical plans which were daily forming by the directors—they knew nothing about the proceeding of secret committees—they imagined there were none superior in knowledge or rank to themselves. Like honest simpletons, they thought all which they saw and heard was for the public good. They, therefore, made no secret of communicating what they knew to their friends and acquaintances, they rather exhorted them to become members of the charitable institution, to partake of its blessings, to be enlightened by the influence of its doctrines." (To be continued.) N. Y. Ex. P. B.
London, July 17. It is with extreme regret we learn, that the English interest at Constantinople is evidently on the decline, while that of the French daily receives the most decided preference. All Frenchmen there experience the greatest marks of distinction and esteem from the Captain Pacha; and different Europeans in the service of the Porte, as Swedish ship builders, the gardener of the Seraglio, &c, have been dismissed, to make room for artificers from the Republic. This partiality is of such consequence to us in a political and commercial point of view, that to offer any reflections upon its consequences would be an insult to the understanding of our readers. When the same Noble Lord who is officially employed at the Ottoman Porte, was entrusted with the interests of this country at the court of Berlin, they shared a similar fate!
The French frigate La Justice, taken by the Turks at Alexandria, has been fitted out in the most magnificent style, and lies at anchor before one of the palaces of the Sultan, in the Canal. It is even rumored that she is about to be restored to the French.
The public has for some time been acquainted with the loss of the Prince, the extra ship which was carried into the Mauritius. The following particulars may be relied on. She sailed from Madras in October last, with 500 prisoners on board under convoy of the Suffolk, of 74 guns, Capt. Clarke, commander, who died three weeks after leaving that port. In ten degrees of South latitude, one evening, the crew being aloft reefing top sails, the prisoners, each having a billet of wood concealed under their jackets, came upon deck and having distributed themselves according to the previous arrangement of their plot, succeeded in securing the ship's people without bloodshed. They got possession of the signal book, and which is singular, remained two days in company of the Suffolk, regularly answering signals, until they were able to make off undescribed in a squall, and safely reached the Mauritius.
The following curious circumstance is transmitted to us as a fact:—A farmer on Thursday attended at Penzance market, for the third time, with a bushel of potatoes, for which he could not find a purchaser. At length, his patience being exhausted, he swore that rather than carry them back, he would sell them for a pinch of snuff. A person present immediately accepted the bargain, and received the potatoes. A year since, the same measure of this root was sold for 26s.
Prince Subow has fought one of his duels at Carlsbad, with M. Giebout:—One of the parties is said to have been killed.
The Elector of Mayence is to have Ratisbon for his residence. He will also have the Bishoprick of that city, several small prelatures, and the Bailliage Aschaffenburg, besides a million and half of florins annually, from other states of the Empire.
A letter from Madras says, "His Highness Azeemul Dowlah, the Nabob of the Carnatic, has sent home four letters, addressed to the chairman of the East India Company, the prince of Wales, the Marquis Cornwallis, and Lord Hobart.—His Highness also shipped two boxes, addressed to the King, and one to the Prince of Wales."
Accounts from Dresden state, that the Count of Saxe is the person who has been killed in a duel by Prince Subow.
July 18. General Richepanse has transmitted another official dispatch from Guadalupe, dated the 29th May, in which he gives an account of the complete extinction of the insurrection in that island. After recapitulating all the operations of the expedition under his command to May 25, continues his narrative, from which it appears that this victory was dearly bought on the part of the French. He enters upon a detail of the different actions, and states as the result of the operations, that the blacks were driven in on all sides to a plantation called Auglemont, where three hundred blew themselves up in the Mansion house, which seems to have been one of their depots, and the few that survived the explosion were put to the sword. The French troops are stated to have lost on this occasion the advanced posts of two of their columns. The general, in concluding his dispatch, observes, "This last affair has destroyed the insurrection in its source; the chiefs are dead, and the followers, disarmed, have submitted and resumed their accustomed labors. The white soldiers, who were unable to quit the island were at the time of our arrival collected in Fort St. Charles. The execution of the plan laid for blowing them up, and which was on the point of being carried into effect, failed in consequence of the promptitude with which our troops pursued the enemy on the evacuation of the fort."
Some accounts last night reached town, relative to the fate of the 14th. They agree in stating that it was dull, inanimate and scarcely worthy of notice. The parade alone was conducted with some degree of military pomp, and the number of troops was so great, that the cavalry were compelled to remain upon the Place de Carrousel, which had been cleared away for the purpose, whilst the infantry filled the space between the palace and the iron railing which separates the court yard from the palace.
The newly incorporated Mamelukes, about 150 in number, richly dressed in Turkish habits, and well mounted, made their first public appearance on the parade. Bonaparte seemed much pleased with them. Deputies from all the corps presented themselves, and to many new regiments were given new colours. They were all, however, to meet at Versailles, for the purpose of assisting at the grand dinner which the consul intended to give them in the great gallery of the palace. Madame Bonaparte returned to Paris from Plombiers on the 12th. The theatres were all opened to the public gratis, on the evening preceding the festival; and when the accounts came away, preparations were making for a general illumination, and a concert in the garden of the Thuilleries. No tickets were delivered for the gallery of the palace.
We learn that the pirate Egee, who some time since made his escape after his capture in the Persian Gulph, has been re-taken in the hill country of Keram, is about to be brought down in chains to Guzzurat.
The man who was lately bound to keep the peace for threatening to cut off his
wife's head, protested that he only wished to make her a good woman!
The intelligence from the hop market is of a disagreeable kind.
