PHILADELPHIA,
OCTOBER 8.
The report of the execution of Robespierre is probably untrue—our last accounts from Paris are to the middle of July, at which time no accusation had appeared against him—and tho' accusation, trial and execution follow in rapid succession in Paris, especially in the cases of distinguished persons, yet the time will hardly allow the usual short routine for Robespierre.—Some persons suppose that the officer who boarded Captain Coit was from an English frigate—tho' he might speak the French language, and appear as a French Officer. Such deceptions are frequently practiced, tho' in this case it is difficult to account for the motive.—The possibility of the account's being true, results from the great and sudden reverse of circumstances, in respect to several other public characters, who have fallen under the ax of the guillotine. Supposing the French frigate to have been only 48 hours from Brest when spoken by Capt. Coit, as has been stated, and he to have sailed from England the 10th of August, and to have been 9 days out at that time, it will follow, that the French Frigate left Brest about the 17th of August, which is a month later than our Paris accounts.
By this Day's Mail.
Foreign Intelligence,
RECEIVED BY THE SHIP AMERICA CAPT. COIT.
MANHEIM, July 18.
The French have made no movement since yesterday. In our neighborhood the respective videttes are between Maudach and Mundenheim. We have no official detail of the actions that happened near Lautern on the 12th inst. and the following days. The following is the substance from what we learn from private accounts.
On the 12th, between nine and ten in the morning, the French attacked General Kalkreuth in the environs of Kayshoven, Weiselsberg, Henerberg, and Rosenkopf. The action was hot, and the cannonading did not cease till towards night. The loss must have been great on both sides; a flying battery, it is remarked, swept off 25 or 30 Frenchmen at each discharge; but it seems that General Kalkreuth could not maintain his ground, for about midnight his army filed off for Landshut, which town it had passed in the morning, continued its retreat, and going to take post on the Kayserberg and the Gageuberg before Lautern. The same night Mollendorff's army marched for Trippstadt, a post menaced by the French. The cannonade began very early on the 13th; the French carried several batteries by assault, and among others one before Trippstadt, though defended by an abatis, in spite of the dreadful fire of the Prussians. Some of the French crept under the trees, which had been felled to render their progress impracticable, and others leaped over them. The Prussian gunners had scarcely time to escape. At seven o'clock the news arrived at Lautern, that Trippstadt was taken, and orders were given for the baggage to file off for Winweiler, towards which place a part of Kalkreuth's troops took their course.
On the 14th the army of Mollendorff drew up in order of battle on the Kayserberg. They began to move the magazines from Lautern, and at half after eight the baggage and ammunition took the road to Winweiler. The French, being masters of Trippstadt, sent patrols to the defiles of Lautern, and, as it was feared they would take a number of wounded Prussians at Hockspeyer, the latter were hastily removed to the rear of the army. The loss on both sides must be great; though that of the French, who attacked batteries on heights and defended by abatis, we must suppose was much the more considerable.
July 19.
The inhabitants of the Palatinate, who fled on the approach of the French are daily returning to their villages, in consequence of a proclamation by the French Generals, which promises safety liberty of person, and respect to property, for all the inhabitants of the territory over-run by the French armies. The most severe orders have been issued against the least attempts to pillage by the French soldiers.
FRANCKFORT, July 12.
The advices from Galicia leave no
doubt of a body of Austrians having passed the Vistula near Koscicelniki, a league and an half from Cracow, and taken possession of the Palatinates of Chehu and Sandomir. The orders issued for this eruption after the conference between the Emperor and the Russian Ambassador, Count Rasumowski, were countermanded; but according to letters from Vienna of the 12th inst., a courier from Petersburg arrived, and the orders were soon renewed. Thus it appears that by the intervention of Russia, our part in the new division of Poland, and that our share will be the Palatinates of Chehu, Lublin, Sandomir and Cracovia, which is included in the lot of Austria, is probably already in the possession of the Imperialists; as well as the town and castle of Czenstochow, which are likewise a part of the Austrian division; the Prussians and Russians, mean time, are in the vicinity of Warsaw.
COLOGNE, July 22.
The Prince of Cobourg has quitted the important position of Newwinden, and established his head-quarters at Tongres. Namur is evacuated, and Gen. Latour, who covered it, has retreated to Liege. Thousands of carriages, with the baggage of Prince Cobourg's army, are daily passing through this city; pontoniers are also arrived to throw bridges over the Rhine. From all this we conclude that the Austrians are to retreat beyond the Rhine.
Under these circumstances the news from the Rhine are the more alarming. The force of the enemy is estimated at 160,000 men; and the situation of Field Marshal Mollendorff is rendered infinitely embarrassing by the unexpected retreat of the Duke of Saxe Teschen, on the Rhine. We are under great apprehensions for Manheim, for Frankfort, and for all that part of Germany. It is very difficult to conjecture the issue of these events. The general wish for peace gives such easy currency to the reports circulated by commercial men, that with very little ground for thinking so, we persuade ourselves that a negotiation is actually begun.
AMSTERDAM, July 28.
We learn from the frontiers, that 1600 English have arrived at Bergen-op-Zoom, and that they will be immediately followed by 2000 others.
The garrison of Maestricht has been reinforced by 7 or 8000 Austrians.
Letters from Cologne of the 22d, observe: "We daily behold many thousand waggons loaded with the baggage of the army, passing through this city; and the proper persons have already arrived in order to throw pontoons across the Rhine; thence we naturally conclude, that the Austrians are about to leave this country."
LONDON, July 26.
Mr. Pitt, we learn from respectable authority, sent some days ago a letter to Earl Howe, in substance as follows: That it would be very advantageous to his Majesty's service, if the noble Earl would at this time wave his claim to the vacant blue ribband—which had been promised to his Lordship—in favor of the Duke of Portland!
Earl Howe expressed his astonishment and indignation in warm language; and, it is said, concluded with nearly these words:
That his personal ambition should never tend to the interruption of his Majesty's service; that he would not only wave all claims to the vacant blue ribband in question, but that he would also beg leave to decline the proffered honor of a Marquisate!
Mr. Shaw, the messenger, has brought an account of the total defeat of the Prussians under General Mollendorff, near Keyserlautern. The battle lasted several days with various success; at length, unable to resist the superiority of the French, the Prussians were forced to retreat with the loss of 27 pieces of cannon. The Austrians were at the same time obliged to make a precipitate retreat across the Rhine, at Manheim. It is reported by some, that General Mollendorff shot himself after his defeat—by others it is said that he was killed during the action.—His loss exceeded 10,000 men.
July 31.
Dispatches were yesterday received from his Royal Highness the Duke of York, dated British head-quarters, July 28. Mr. Hessel was entrusted with the communication. It contained nothing of greater importance than a minute detail of the military operations on the retreat of the allies into Holland.
The British troops, as already stated in this paper, were in the neighborhood of Bergen-op-Zoom. The French for-
ces are pushing their successes with uncommon ardor; and, if not soon checked in their victorious career, some apprehensions may be entertained for the safety of Rotterdam.
Lord Moira, on joining the Duke of York's army, found himself one of the youngest Major Generals in the line; and that instead of commanding his army, he would scarce be entitled to command a brigade. This greatly surprised him, and on that account he resigned his command.
The ground which the Duke of York occupied at Conticque is the same where Prince Eugene, with an army of 30,000 men, kept in check for several months Louis XIV. at the head of 90,000.
Admiral Kruyger is the commander of the combined Danish and Swedish fleets. The junction was effected on the 6th inst. when the two squadrons, after having fired the usual salute, formed one line. This fleet consists of twenty three sail of the line, seven frigates, and four sloops of war. It will shortly be reinforced by several more Swedish ships, which are fitting out with all possible expedition.
On the 3d, 4th, and 5th of July, 72 persons were executed by sentence of the revolutionary tribunal of Paris.
On the sixth, thirty; of whom 23 were magistrates of the ancient parliament of Toulouse—amongst this number was councillor Bardy, aged 85, and two others of 80 years.
On the 7th, the section sitting in the hall of liberty, condemned 69, and that in the hall of equality 9, all as conspirators against the liberty and safety of the people. Amongst the first was the late Abbe of Salignac Fenelon, aged 80 years, for whom the little Savoyards, for whom he had established at Paris, at his own expence, a school for their education, twice implored the justice of government.
Among the number likewise, were his relation J. G. Fenelon, formerly Colonel, and son of the ambassador who was so much respected during his mission at the Hague; the former intendant of Bacquecourt; the ci-devant Duc de Gèvres; the ci-devant Prince de Hénin; Nicolai, formerly first president of the chamber of accounts; Labaume and de Boisselun, ci-devant field marshals, &c.
The number condemned and executed on the 10th, was 44; and notwithstanding the daily executions, the number contained in the prisons of Paris on the 6th inst. was 7502.
August 4.
Mr. East, the messenger, arrived on Saturday last with dispatches from the Duke of York, dated British Head Quarters, near Bergen-op-Zoom. Nothing of importance has transpired.
It is rumoured, that Prince Cobourg has resigned in disgust his command of the army: that he has been succeeded by the Arch Duke Charles; and that the latter is to be aided in the planning of the future military operations by Generals Beaulieu, Clairfayt, and Colonel Mack.
The information received on Saturday at Lloyd's respecting the audacity of the French Cruizers who now infest our coasts, has caused some alarms among the mercantile interest in the city; but as the Grand British Fleet will very soon proceed to sea, the influence of the Enemy will be but of a very short duration.
For the consolation of the Merchants, the following notice was on Saturday stuck up at Lloyd's:
Stone-house, July 31.
"Admiral Macbride's Squadron is ordered to sea this afternoon, in quest of Thirteen French Frigates that are cruising off the Channel; he is to be joined off Falmouth by the Squadron under Sir J. Warren."
Burrough Lyon, mate of the Rant, of Leith, taken by the French on the 21st of July, in company with the Dundee, off Duncanby-head, but afterwards retaken, arrived at Lerwick; gives the following account of the French Squadron in the North Sea:
It consists of Le Tartar, of 44 guns, on board of which a Rear Admiral has his flag; La Bellona, of 44; Le Brutus, of 50 guns, formerly a line of battle ship, but now cut down; Le Republicain, of 36; Le Vengeance, of 24; La Montagne, of 24; and La Nereade, of 16. This fleet sailed from Brest on the 7th ult. and passed round Ireland.
The De Snelse Post, Dutch sloop, Captain Spockler, from Lisbon, one of the convoy, was taken by the following French Squadron, Le Prosperine, 50 guns, L'Audacieux, and Le Gentille, 44 each, and another frigate, La Mulette, Le Tigre, Le Dequeutois, and another sloop, on the 26th of July, and was retaken on the 27th by the Resolution privateer of Weymouth, and carried into that place. The French prisoners say they have other squadrons at sea;
and that six sail of the line were to have sailed a few days after they left France, which they suppose to be at sea now.
A most tragical scene was performed at Warsaw on the 4th inst. It is said that upwards of 200 Polish prisoners, in the jails, were that day tried and executed.
Among other objects which the Channel fleet will have in view, in their next cruise will be the escorting safe home the 17 valuable East-India ships which have put into Galway Bay.

EMBASSY TO CHINA.
We are happy in being enabled to lay before our readers a brief account of the principal particulars relating to this Mission, which the public may be assured is perfectly authentic, tho' some of the circumstances may appear, to European ideas and modes of thinking, almost incredible.
Without detaining our readers to inform them of circumstances relating to the early part of the voyage, it will be enough to notice briefly, that after passing the banks of Sando, they made some unsuccessful attempts to explore the islands of Banca, and the straits of Malacca. They stopped at Palatandore, and from thence proceeded to Tura-nang, in Cochin China, where they found a young prince established upon the throne, after a civil war of 20 years continuance, which end in a revolution, for such events, it would appear, are not peculiar to the Western World. It consists of a number of Brahmanes had once been in Cochin China, but the were all gone, having followed the fate of the Royal line expelled by this revolution, and which still retained possession of a small corner of the kingdom. In their voyage they visited Macao and Chusan. The easternmost extremity of China, and at last reached the mouth of the river Niense, in the division of the Picheli Gai on the 26th of July 1793, when they found the water so shallow, though they had no light of land, that they cast anchor in 6 fathoms water.
From hence they dispatched a brig to announce their arrival, to request that vessels might be sent to receive the presents intended for the Emperor, as the English vessels could proceed no further for want of water; and also to solicit a supply of fresh provisions. On the 31st of August a number of small vessels arrived from the shore, having on board some principal Mandarines, with a most magnificent supply of every article of provisions. Twenty bullocks, wensards of 100 sheep, as many hogs, a great number of fowls of various kinds, and an immense quantity of the richest and finest fruits of the country; several casks of tea, sugar, china, &c. &c. and a large supply of flour, millet, bread, rice, and other articles in great profusion.
The different presents being put on board the Chinese junks, Lord Macartney, on the 31st, went in the Clarence brig to Tura-nang, a few miles to the north, where the goods were obliged to be transferred to still smaller vessels, to convey them to Tanchang, about 10 miles from Peking.
The Embassy left Macao, where every accommodation was afforded them, on the 8th of August, and arrived at Tienfin the 11th, where they were entertained on shore, amidst thousands of people. After the entertainment they got present of victuals, in name of a dinner, sufficient to last the whole of them for a week—each officer got besides, two pieces of silk—and even the soldiers and mechanics &c. had a piece of silk and cotton.
Tienfin is situated at the confluence of three large rivers, and is a place of large and extensive commerce. Its population is not to be counted by thousands but by millions; the burying ground only an immense plain, extends farther than the eye can reach, and appears only bounded by the horizon. The other facts relating to this place, which they left on the 12th, would appear incredible were they recorded here.
They next went to Tongchu, to which place they were conveyed by water in vessels dragged by men; they reached it on the 16th. Here the presents and baggage were landed and deposited in houses erected to receive them.
On the 21st the ambassador and his suite set out for Peking; Lord Macartney and Sir G. Staunton in sedan chairs, the officers, &c. in two-wheeled carriages, the rest in a kind of covered waggons.
They reached Peakim about 9 o'clock that morning. The streets are not paved, the longest are about six miles, crossing each other in right angles, as in Philadelphia, and from 90 to 130 feet in breadth. The houses are only one story high. The walls of the city are of an immense height, and the principal streets terminate at the gates, which are very magnificent. Sumptuous apartments were provided for the suite, and every necessary of life was furnished to them without purchase.
They remained here till the beginning of September, when Lord Macartney and suite set out for Gehol, the country residence of the Emperor. His Lordship went in an English coach, the
other gentlemen on horse-back, the soldiers, &c. in waggons; so that with the baggage train, the whole cavalcade was of very great length.
Gehol is about 170 English miles from Peking. They were a week in going thither. On the 4th day of their journey they reached the famous wall which forms one of the barriers of this empire, their way leading thro' a gate called Canpe-Rieu. There are only 4 such passes in China. This wall was built upwards of 200 years before Christ, from which time, for 14 or 1500 years, it served as a complete defence against every enemy; but at the end of that period, Ghengis Chan invaded the empire, and got possession of the throne. It is about 26 feet high, and about 15 thick at the top, which is well paved, and has a parapet on each side, the base is about 20 feet thick. At every distance of about 90 or 100 yards, there is a tower upon it of about 15 feet each in height, and 45 in length. In several places there are other walls within the main one, which take in a sweep of several miles, and then connect again with it; so that should the outer one be forced, the inner remains as a defence; and these again are covered by other walls within them; but this is only at the 4 principal passes. The ground over which this immense fabric is carried, is in some places very rugged and uneven, more so than the most mountainous parts of Cumberland. This wall is more than 2000 miles in length, without allowing for the bendings over mountains and through valleys. The towers are about 45,000 in number.
When they reached Gehol, some misunderstanding respecting the mode of presentation prevented the ceremony from taking place till the 14th. Lord Macartney insisted that the ceremonies required to be performed by him before the Emperor should be performed by a Chinese of equal rank before the picture of his Majesty. One of the prime Ministers, of whom there are five in China, filed Caidos, having committed some mistake, in reporting that Macartney had agreed to comply with ceremonies to which he had not assented, was degraded some steps in his rank, and forced to wear, in his head-dress, a crow's tail instead of a peacock's, which it seems answer there to our stars, garters, ribbands, and other insignia of nobility. Chintu-giu, one of these ministers, on finding what hindered the business from going on, very shrewdly remarked that he thought it strange that an Ambassador who had come such a great distance, professedly to compliment the Emperor, should commence his business by contending about formalities. It was at last, however, settled, that his Lordship should pay the same respects to the Emperor that he paid on approaching the King of England.
The suit were received in a large tent. The Emperor was carried thither in an open chan borne by sixteen men: as he passed to the tent the English kneeled on one knee: every one of the Chinese prostrating themselves on the ground, being all arranged in and round the tent, they had a sumptuous repast, which was followed by music, tumbling, wrestling, and other exercises. The Emperor paid great attention to Lord Macartney, and he and all the gentlemen had presents of silk purses, fans, &c. The entertainment being ended, the Emperor descended from the throne, and walked to his chair, and was carried away in the same manner in which he came. The crowd of Mandarines, Princes, and other people of rank, which attended this ceremony was almost innumerable.
Next day (the 15th) the Emperor again saw Lord Macartney. He came in the same manner as on the preceding day. He told his Lordship, that he was going to a Pagoda, at some distance, but that he had given orders to his Ministers to attend upon his Lordship, and shew him the palaces and gardens. When the Emperor was gone the suit were conveyed to an island, in an extensive sheet of water, where they found a large building, in almost every apartment of which there was a kind of throne, and also a number of curiosities of English manufacture. On the left of each throne was a large agate, in a batten form, deposited there as an emblem of peace in the empire. From this they were conveyed by water, and afterwards shewn a number of other buildings, where they were entertained with fruits, sweetmeats, &c.
The 17th which was the Emperors birth day (he is 83 years of age) they visited the palace before the morning dawn. They waited till day light in a large apartment after which Lord Macartney and the high Mandarines were admitted into an inner court: the officers of the suite were in the second court, and the Mandarines of inferior rank in a third court, outside the two

other. The fight of flags, banners, &c. of embroidered silk floating in the air, was grand beyond the power of language to describe. The Emperor was not present. All the people knelt, and bowed nine times with as much solemnity as if they had been worshipping the Deity. This ceremony over, they were conveyed through other parks and lodges, the gardens laid out in much the same manner as in England—they were sumptuously entertained in one of those buildings, and afterwards carried through some magnificent pagodas, or temples. One of them was larger than the buildings of Somerset house, but higher, and in the same square form, open within the square, in the center of which was a building of considerable height, covered with solid gold. The inside front of the square is in the form of galleries, one over the other, in four rows, most splendidly decorated, and supported with pillars of gold. In some of the apartments hundreds of priests were employed in singing. The images of deities, &c. in these buildings are almost innumerable and many of them of gigantic size, larger than Gog and Magog at Guildhall. They are however, of the same materials, wood richly gilt and ornamented, numbers of them symbolical representations. In many of the religious ceremonies a resemblance of the Jewish rites was observable, others were similar to those of the Romanists.
On the 18th, they were admitted to the Emperor's Theatre. It is a square open at top—The stage extends along one side of the square, and those who are honoured with admission to see the performances are placed under piazzas in the other three sides. In front of the stage, about fifty feet distant, is the throne from which the emperor views the performance. The rest of the area is ornamented with beautiful flowerpots. Lord Macartney was led to the throne and received from the Emperor's hands a copy of verses made by himself for his Britannic Majesty, in a box of great value and antiquity, made of black wood carved very neatly. The Ambassador had also the honour to receive a copy of verses for himself. Here the suite was heartily tired for several hours with a performance one word of which they could not understand, and which was accompanied with a confused noise of gongs and bells after which as was usual every day, they received presents of silks, fans, china, &c.
The next two days were employed in making preparations for their return to Peking, where they arrived on the 26th—On their journey they were much surprised to find a great number of men employed in levelling the road, for the accommodation of the Emperor on his return from Jehol, which he was to quit in a few days. The whole road, a space of 150 miles, was covered with men, about 60 feet asunder, and a cistern of water for each man, for watering the road on the Emperor's approach, so that the number of men and of cisterns must have exceeded 13,000. The road for the Emperor is as smooth and level as any walk in the gardens at Kew; no person is allowed to ride or travel upon it, and it is guarded night and day.
On the 30th the Embassy set out for the Palace of Yeu-Ming-Yuen, whither all the presents had been sent that the Emperor might see them together. They returned that night at Hing-Min-Yuen, and set out next morning to a house about four miles distant, from whence they walked a little way and met the Emperor; who learning from the principal Mandarin who attended the Embassy, that Lord Macartney was indisposed, desired that his Lordship might return to Peking for the sake of better accommodation. They returned the same day, and indeed it would appear, that the Chinese by this time wished their departure altogether; for Lord Macartney had an interview with the ministers the same day, in the course of which they recommended to him to take the benefit of the good weather for his departure as he would travel uncomfortably if he allowed the winter to over take him; the more especially as he was but poorly in health.
From this time none of the Missionaries, of whom there are a number in the country, were allowed to go near our countrymen; and the attendant Mandarines, under pretence of friendship, strongly urged them to propose departing, as a change of treatment might not be found quite pleasant. It should be remarked that by this time all the presents had been delivered.
On the 3d of September, Lord Macartney presented to the ministers a number of proposals and requisitions respecting the object of his mission. His Lordship had intended staying till March, but it was now thought advisable to take the hint that had been given. On the 4th he requested permission to depart. The Emperor's permission was with him by next morning, and the second day after was appointed. The Chinese, however, were very considerate in one thing—the warning was short, they therefore gave them a great number of men to assist in packing up; and they were so industrious, that every thing was in complete readiness by the time fixed. On the day of departure, the ambassador had an interview with the minister, and received an answer to the propositions he
had made on the 3d—They were all refused; And the Embassy left Peking, very much mortified at their want of success; after which Lord Macartney & his suite returned to Canton, whither they spent their Christmas.
The failure in this business cannot be easily accounted for; perhaps the Mandarines who attended the Embassy were not addressed in the feeling manner they expected. Pretty things for the Emperor were only flows to them, and they might wish for something substantial for themselves. It is however supposed that the want of success is chiefly to be attributed to some evil impression made on the Chinese Court, by some of the Native Princes of India, telling them to beware how they allowed the English to obtain a footing among them; and strengthening their admonition, by falsely stating, that the same people had first, as friends, obtained a small settlement in India, which they afterwards increased by repeated wars, by driving many of the original owners from their dominions, and establishing upon their ruin an immense Empire for themselves.
We are happy however, to add, that when the last accounts left Canton, some arrangements had taken place which indicated a more friendly disposition on the part of the Chinese; and that some hopes had begun to be entertained that it was yet possible to obtain the object of the voyage, though not perhaps without much trouble.
SPEECH OF ROBESPIERRE, In the Sitting of the Jacobins.
IN our paper of Saturday we alluded to a speech delivered at the Club of the Jacobins by Robespierre, against the moderate party; we now lay it at length before our readers: it was as follows:
"It is time, perhaps, that those true, free and manly accents should again resound through this hall, which have ever been heard here when the public weal was in danger.
"When vice is secretly conspiring for the destruction of liberty, what means more powerful can freemen employ against it, than truth and publicity? Shall we, like conspirators, in obscure dens, concert our measures of defence against their perfidious efforts? Shall we scatter gold and spread corruption? In a word, shall we make use of the same arms against our enemies, which they employ against us? No: the weapons of liberty and tyranny are as widely different, as liberty and tyranny themselves are opposed to each other. To combat the wretchedness of tyrants and their friends, we have no other resources left but truth, and the tribunal of public opinion; and our only support are honest men."
"Successes abroad do less constitute the prosperity of a state, than a happy situation within. While seditious factions are stalking about, and innocence trembles for her own safety, the Republic does not rest on a solid foundation."
"To all honest citizens I here denounce an odious system, which tends to screen atrocities from national justice; and by defaming the true patriots, to undo our country."
"The destructive blows of the enemies of this country, have always been aimed at the life or reputation of true patriots. In the same manner they now attempt to call on the defenders of the Republic, a trait of cruelty and injustice. Acts of severity against conspirators are by them denounced as attempts against humanity. Whoever thus protects and favours aristocracy undoubtedly attacks true patriotism; the downfall of one or the other must decide the revolution."
"An humane man devotes himself to the cause of humanity, and pursues with justice and vigor those that are its enemies; he always stretches forth a friendly hand to outraged virtue and oppressed innocence. But a cruel barbarous wretch commiserates conspirators, and feels no pity for virtuous men. The very same fellows who most tenderly interest themselves for aristocrats, are the most implacable enemies of patriots. This system is doubtless a counter-revolutionary effort, and deserves no other name, for it tends to the destruction of the defenders of their country, and marks them with the horrid stain of cruelty. The faction of Moderates, mingled with all the others, supports them all. It is, therefore, the first duty of a good citizen, publicly to denounce it. I should not yet have spoken against that faction, had it not become powerful enough to attempt to cramp the operations of government."
"Whilst a few citizens with indefatigable zeal, perform the functions imposed upon them by the people, a multitude of knaves and agents of our foreign enemies, are constantly forging calumnies, and inventing persecutions against honest men. It cannot have escaped your notice, that every patriot who endeavors to revenge and consolidate liberty, is checked in his exertions by those slanderers who represent him to the people as a formidable, dangerous man. Virtue they invest with the appearance of crime, and the basest vice with all the glory due to virtue."
"Calumny every day invents new crimes to succeed in her horrid plots; and the Moderates incessantly employ that dreadful weapon. That faction, increased by the remnants of all the others, unites the spirit of all the different conspiracies we have had to combat since the Revolution. Taught by experience to lay their plots with keener perfidy, they employ all the means of Bristol, Danton, Herbert, Chabot, and many other criminals; but with more art and sagacity."
"Oftentimes have we witnessed attacks made on the Committees of Public Welfare and General Safety, in a body; but now it is thought most proper to attack their members individually, in order to weaken their strength. Till now, they did not dare to direct their blows against the national justice; but now they think themselves sufficiently powerful to calumniate the Revolutionary Tribunal, and the decree of the Convention, concerning its organization. Even its legality is called in question. You feel the great importance of this scheme; for, if all confidence in patriots should be destroyed, the Revolutionary Government must either sink into absolute nullity, or fall a victim to the enemies of the public weal; and then aristocracy triumphs. Destroy the Revolutionary Tribunal, or compose it of such members as please the factious. How can you possibly expect to break the threads of conspiracies, when the conspirators themselves administer justice?"
"The despots and their satellites know too well, that the downfall of one patriot occasions the ruin of many; and that the cause of patriotism in general experiences the same fate. By showing them that it is impossible to make us destroy one another, they think they shall be able to make us destroy ourselves. They have even dared to spread, through the Convention, that the assassination of that Assembly was the only aim of the new organization of the Revolutionary Tribunal; and this idea has unfortunately gained too much strength. In short, the very first attempts to destroy liberty are now renewed under more respectable forms. The factious reach of Republican courage, confined in time, above all personal considerations; and, at the hazard of our own life and reputation, to expose the perfidious schemes of our enemies. For my part, whatever efforts may be made to close my lips, I think I have as much right now to speak, as when Hobert, Danton, and others thundered in this hall. If Providence has been pleased to rescue me from the hands of assassins, it is, no doubt, that I should ultimately employ the means that are still in my hands."
"The defenders of this country have generally to combat assassins as well as calumniators; but at the same time, to be obliged to answer them both in a grave and serious manner. To see gentlemen arrange acts of accusation against patriots in a private circle, is a phenomenon never realized till now. The tyrant of London sends us assassins and calumniators; and the papers paid by England, hold the same language as those Frenchmen whom I denounce as the agents of England, and of tyranny."
"I beg leave to speak of myself in an affair, which as far as it concerns my personal interest, is of but very little importance to me. At London they denounce me as a dictator to the French army. The very same slander is repeated at Paris. You would tremble with rage if I was to tell you in what place."
"At London they give out, that calumny has succeeded in dividing our patriots; at London they exhibit caricatures, which represent me as the assassin of all honest people; and libels, bare printed by presses, furnished at the expence of the nation, picture me in the same style. At Paris they say, that I have organized the Revolutionary Tribunal; that tribunal has been organized for the purpose of murdering the patriots and the Members of the Convention. I am represented here as a tyrant, and an oppressor of the National Representation. At London they assert, that pretended insinuations are devised in Paris, to procure me a military guard. Here, on mentioning Regnaud, they say, that his execution was the business of an anonymous intrigue; and that, in all probability, I, myself, caused her lover to be guillotined. Thus are tyrants absolved; and an isolated patriot finds no protection but in his own courage and virtues. (Robespierre, exclaimed a citizen in the gallery, all the French embrace thy cause!)"
"Truth (continued Robespierre) is my only asylum against the persecution of criminals. I want neither partisans nor praise; and on my own conscience rest my defence. I entreat the citizens who hear me, to recollect, that the purest and most innocent measures are exposed to the shafts of calumny; and that whatever we undertake, tyrants may turn against us."
"How ought the friends of Liberty to conduct themselves, when they find themselves in the irksome dilemma, either to betray their country, or to be treated as tyrants, oppressors, or unjust and sanguinary men, when they dare to fulfil their duty, perform the task imposed on them by the Convention, and to prefer oppressed innocence to the execrable horde of miscreants who conspire against Liberty? Betray your country in a sly, artful manner, and all your enemies fly to your assistance. But if you defend your country, you cannot utter one single word without being called a tyrant—a despot. You cannot appeal to the public opinion, without being arraigned as a Dictator. Every courageous defender of his country is now exposed to the same danger as in the time of Bristol—but, with regard to my personal satisfaction, I should still prefer to the present period, that when I was denounced by Louvet. At that time the enemies of patriots were less treacherous, and less atrocious than at present."
"The accusation of Louvet is repeated in a paper found among the writings of the Secretary of Camille des Moulins, and a friend of the conspirator Danton. This act was ready for publication, when it was discovered by the Committee of General Safety. The Conspirators, in order to establish their denunciation of a pretended plan of dictatorship, in that act, call to their aid all the events that have happened in the course of the Revolution. The absurdity of this denunciation it is useless to unfold; calumnies so gross and glaring cannot seduce the public; but they may be considered as a kind of manifesto, that was to precede a coup-de-main against the patriots. What will you say, when I assure you, that these atrocities did not appear very heinous to gentlemen invested with a sacred character, and that they were hawked about even by some of our own colleagues."
"When circumstances shall be more unfolded, I will further explain my sen-
timents. I have said enough for the wife. It shall never be in any one's power to prevent me from depositing important truths in the bosom of the National Representation and of Republicans. Tyrants and their slaves shall never be able to check my courage."
"Notwithstanding all the libels spread against me, I shall still remain the same, and defend liberty and equality with unabated ardor. Should I be forced to resign some of the functions with which I am entrusted, I will still retain my quality of a Representative of the People, and carry on a mortal warfare against tyrants and conspirators."
Hamilton Rowan's estate in Ireland is an hereditary one & as such he cannot dispose of it, it will be confiscated as soon as he is out-lawed for high treason. Thus far the lives of the father will be visited on the children.
FRANCFORT, July 20.
Matters are in our quarter upon the same footing as they were before the Imperialists crossed the Rhine, and the Prussians advanced towards Lautern, since the latter have again quitted that position, and the former recrossed the Rhine. The Prussians under Mollenendorff are posted at Alzey, Kalkreuth at Creutznach, and the Saxons at Oppenheim, whither some heavy pieces of cannon have been brought into the intrenchments of the heights, the fortress of Mentz being still unprovided with proper ammunition.
The general armament of the circles of the Upper and Lower Rhine has again been resolved on. It is thought best to form divisions of militia. The example of the people of Treves is most approved of.
A report is in circulation that Messina has been demolished, probably by an earthquake.
The French intrench themselves towards the Trbach, and farther down the country they send detachments. Hohenlohe extends from Lambsheim towards Turckheim; Mollenendorff is in the centre towards Alzey; and Kalkreuth is about Meisenheim. It is said that the French threaten Treves from another quarter.
July 24.
The Prussian magazines are removed from Bingen. General Mollenendorff has signified to the Senate of Frankfort, that they need entertain no fears, and that he will cover the place. At Mentz, four ships with wounded are arrived, including 54 officers.
Count Schulenburg is with the Commissariat and the military Chiefs, the strongest of which is arrived at Mentz, whence the archives and the most valuable effects are removed, as likewise from Frankfort.
The palatine peasants return to their habitations, allured by the apparent and momentary discipline of the French army. The French defectors all agree in saying, that the Republicans have orders to take Mentz and Coblenz, cost what it will.
PORTSMOUTH, (N. H.) Sept. 30.
The honorable John S. Sherburne, Nicholas Gilman and Jeremiah Smith, Esquires, are elected by the people, as three of the Representatives from this state to the Congress of the United States. The hon. Paine Wingate and Abiel Forster, Esquires, are the two candidates, highest in nomination, to be sent out to the people, one of which to be chosen to fill up the Representation.
PHILADELPHIA, October 8.
We are informed from a quarter, in which we have reason to confide, that dispatches have been received from Mr. Jay, as late as the second day of August.
There is believed to be some foundation for the reports, which have been circulated, that the British subjects who are creditors of American citizens, are importunate with the British Ministry respecting the recovery of their debts.
It is probable notwithstanding the omission to enter appeals and file claims in many cases of condemned vessels, the jurisdiction of the Commissioners of prize causes will be opened again to receive them; and that such property as shall not be saved by the revision of this tribunal, will receive the benefit of any principles which may be established by means of negotiation.
The present administration of Great Britain, is not supposed to be hostile to the United States, but the contrary.
But it will be easily conceived that subjects so extensive and various as those with Mr. Jay is probably charged, cannot assume a definitive shape, except after many discussions, and that from intermediate circumstances, the final result cannot always be foretold with certainty.
The negotiation proceeds without any affected delay; and we learn from the other side of the water that it is the wish of our friends there that moderation should continue to operate on the minds and conduct of our fellow-citizens. It is the vice of those friends to endeavor to cultivate peace and friendship by wisdom and moderation; and yet to prepare to meet hostile events with composure, firmness and vigor.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of veracity, dated Lisbon August 14th 1794.
A Packet has arrived from Falmouth which brings intelligence of great importance. It appears, that the French armies, on the Northern frontier, have had a series of uninterrupted successes from the Rhine to the sea: that the Duke of York had retired to Rosendael, and Prince Cobourg beyond the Meuse; that the Austrian army on the Rhine, has been driven beyond that river at Mannheim, and the Prussian troops, under Gen. Mollenendorff, after having been almost ruined in six days' battles, have been forced to retreat towards Mayence. In consequence of these retrograde movements, Nieuport, Mons, Antwerp, Namur, Brussels, Spire, Liege, &c. have fallen into the hands of the French. Holland is in imminent danger. It seems doubtful whether the Emperor is not about to relinquish the war against France, as it is certain he has marched troops into Poland. Lord Spencer (one of the new English ministry) is sent on a special mission to the Emperor: probably to know his ultimate intentions; and the Grefier Egel, who had been sent to Strasbourg, if he could not induce Cobourg to defend that place, was to proceed to Vienna.
The form between Russia and the Porte seems to be gathering. The Poles are reduced to a situation, in which courage, and the resources derived from distress, must save them, if they are to be saved. Sweden and Denmark are augmenting their just stipulated fleet, and are said to assume a more accursed tone to the Court of London than they had hitherto made use of, and to be treated with more civility by the Empress of Russia, than she had been accustomed to shew them.
Nieuport is a town of Brabant, 3 Leagues E. from Flanders on the Zym, and 5 W. from Breda.

FROM realm to realm, with cross or excent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe.
Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank: To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And murm'ring demons bate him, and ad- mire.

From the French of M. Berquin .
Extract from the Preface.
"To the honor of M. Berquin's taste,
it may be said, that he has united simple
elegance with interesting variety, but ri-
gidity separated both from the slightest ap-
proach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a
merit much more easily praised than imi-
tated. The art of amusing children, whilst
at the same time the Infant Genius is rais-
ed and the Heart inclined, appears from
his works to be no contemptible effort of
the mind. Wherever, therefore, the uti-
lity of such an undertaking is acknowl-
edged, the reputation of M. Berquin must
ever be held in deserved esteem.
"Happily such is the agreeable versatility
of M. Berquin's style and genius, that
it would be difficult to pronounce in what
department he excels: whether in the
lively or the pathetic; the simple language
of narrative, or the animated points of
conversation: whether in threw remarks
upon private life, or in florid description
of the beauties of nature.
"Pieces of every various excellence
that is to be found in the writings of M.
Berquin , compose the following volume,
which, it is hoped, will be thought a valu-
able substitute (where such may be prefer-
red) to the larger and more extensive
works of the same author."
At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be
