BOSTON, May 20. Translate for the Continent. FROM "THE ORATOR OF THE PEOPLE" BY FRAGON.
"THE National Convention takes an imposing attitude: Crime grows pale; the brazen fronts of conspirators, are cast down, and terror itself in its turn, feels terror. Let the immense majority of the Convention, once more raise that tremendous club, which pulverised the tyrants, that it may fall on a handful of villains, who tried with them to change the French nation into a people of Ambassadors; who have spread a funeral shroud over the most benevolent of all revolutions, who under the name of aristocracy, have destroyed the arts, commerce and agriculture, who have converted France into a vast burying ground, surrounded with dungeons, which swallowed up their victims. Their barbarous would have plunged us into all the darkness of ignorance: All the public libraries were to become a prey to the flames, all the vilest passions of human nature, all the vices, all the crimes personified, were put in requisition to torment France."
"What were the famous caves of Louis XI, and the gibbets which surrounded his castle of Plessis les Tours, compared to those hundred gallows in constant activity, with which Robespierre and his accomplices regaled their eyes? What were the dungeons in the house of the Cardinal a Tuelles, in which were found many skeletons, and the trap doors, which opened on a sudden under the feet of the condemned persons, in comparison with those dens, those caverns of death, made to contain fifteen thousand dead bodies, and those fashion boats of the Loire, brought to such perfection by Carrier, that worthy plagiary of Nero? And such a horrid taste of things, yet find partizans in the very bosom of the Convention! Can such tyranny revive? No! The good sense of the people will not suffer a retrograde movement; the
French nation will return to its natural character, that is, to justice, to humanity, to magnanimity."
"Let the aristocrats be restrained with vigor, and watched by all the constituted authorities, by the people themselves, but let us no more see this term made use of, to take away the lives of whole families of peasants, artists, mechanics, labourers and porters, a crowd of unfortunate beings, whom the people, stupefied by terror, law dragged to death, without perceiving that it was themselves, who were thus daily assassinated, and that the tyrants were sacrificing such numbers of them, only to fasten chains on the rest with more ease. Thanks to the liberty of the press, we can now speak boldly, we can now tear off every mask. By the light of this flambeau, will soon be revealed the details of those crimes which have surpassed all those with which the history of tyranny has hitherto crimsoned its pages. Though shuddering at the task, I will develop this mystery of all barbarities; I will penetrate into the interior of those dismal families; I will have age humanity, reason and nature. I will tear in pieces that robe of blood in which liberty has been drenched. The leaders of the Jacobins of the 9th Thermidor, will no doubt point me out as the chief of a new faction: Yes, I belong to a mighty faction; that of principles, that of the rights of man, and that of the whole Convention, that of the national honour! The people will listen to me; for eternal justice lives in eternal justice lives in their hearts. Posterity will be terrified at the picture of so many crimes committed in the name of the people. But I will cry aloud, and with a voice that shall resound to the bottom of every soul, I will say, No! It was neither the people, nor the Convention which permitted those atrocities! A thick veil hid them a long time from our sight: The convention was oppressed and decimated like France. An exterminating sword waivered over that assembly; wandering about during the darkness of the night, many members dare not lie down to rest in their own houses; or if they were bold enough to do it, it was with pistols and daggers under their pillows, to dispute their existence with assassins, or to pierce their own bosoms, to escape the ignominy of an infamous death—Behold the situation to which the National Representation was reduced!!!
"All the horrors committed at that epoch, were the work of the committees of government, who enslaved the convention. The convention could not sanction such measures which were never even proposed for its consideration."
[Speaking again of the Jacobins, and Jacobins, Freron thus interrogates.]
"When shall we see an end of the factions which are gnawing on the vitals of our countrymen? When shall we see those limits marked out, beyond which even the hopes of ambitious intriguers cannot extend? Is the throne of the Decemvirs more difficult to overturn than that of the Capets? Oh! thirst of tyranny! dost thou then become more insatiable in proportion to the number of thy victims?—What! France bristling with a thousand scaffolds, almost all the edifices converted into state prisons, refinements of cruelty unheard of, until our times, the genius of tortures and the maximum of ferocity, have not been able to glut thee! Must we then wait to see crimes, grown haughty from impunity, make out new lists of crossers, again take into pay infamous bands of domestic spies, perfect the theory and fabric of those romances of conspiracies in the prisons, and heap up, as a favour, in the same basket, the pale innocent heads of the mother and son, of the brother and sister, of infancy and old age! Excrable continuators of Robespierre! The pen in one hand and the sword of the law in the other, I will pursue you even behind the hundred thousand dead bodies of your murdered fellow citizens, which serve you as an entrenchment. No truce! History and posterity will condemn our indulgence. My accusing writings shall call up, to bear witness against you, the patriotic manes of an entire generation which you have sent to the tomb. The triple mask that covers your deformity shall be rent in a thousand pieces!"
[The fashion of Barrere, &c. Freron thus characterizes.]
Robespierre has bequeathed them his low cunning, his cowardly impudence, his principles of tyranny and domination, the profound hatred he bore to the people, (though constantly flattering them,) and to those representatives who have remained pure and uncorrupted since the beginning of the revolution. When these latter attempt to enforce the great maxims of political and individual liberty, the terrorists instantly denominate them counter-revolutionists. When they endeavour to bring to light those eternal truths, which though not guillotined by Dumas, Fouquier-Tinville, and their infamous jury, were yet almost stifled under a funeral pall; or when they speak of the liberty of the press and opinions, they are quickly insulted as aristocrats and royalists. When they thunder against the system of terror which some are attempting again to impose on France, they are represented as moderates, by the Robespierres. We see these wretches struggling in the convulsions of their consciences, not yet satisfied, though drenched in crimes. It is on funeral piles and mangled carcasses, that they wish to found their dominion; according to them terror was never more necessary, and they would conduct the vessel of the republic to port, through a sea of human blood. They hold that there are two kinds of justice; this was the language of Barrere, Couthon, Robespierre and Duhem, when proposing and
defending the execrable law of the 22d Prairial, on the new organization of the revolutionary tribunal. They well knew that, if once justice is the order of the day, the nation, discovering its dreadful wounds will demand of them a strict account of their conduct. This is the reason, that after the example of all other royal and popular tyrants, they declare a furious war against the liberty of the press, and have applied the gag of the executioner to so many courageous writers. This is the reason why they dread the thunder and the lightning of truth, which bursting and rending with a mighty noise the cloud that conceals it, is crushing and overwhelming them from every quarter. Trembling, they seem to fly to themselves, Ah! if we could retard this great day of national vengeance! and accordingly they call to their aid, calumny, rage, defamation, terror, the art of quinning, the compression of thought, if possible, in short, the system of scaffolds and death in permanence; they raise the mask; they arm their myrmidons with poisoned poignards; being no longer able to guillotine, they assassinate. They would again precipitate into the prisons, the victims who owe their liberty to the 9th Thermidor, they would even add to the number; on account of a few aristocrats who may have been enlarged by the committee of general welfare, they long to send back to their dungeons and chains, the thousands of sans-culottes, whom they had destined to follow to the scaffold, that multitude of blacksmiths, weavers, tailors, loys, and artisans of all sorts, whom they mixed and guillotined with the aristocrats, so that all classes might be disgusted with liberty. They violate the right of petition; they insult the citizens who come into the bosom of the national representation to disclose their suspicions. It may be expected, they will soon audaciously demand of the insulted Senate, that a guillotine be placed at their bar! Behold the men whom I denounce to the people: Behold the men whom I unmask.

LITERARY.
Yesterday the first number of "THE TABLET; a miscellaneous paper, devoted to the Belles Lettres," was issued from the office of Mr. Spotwood. "As a stranger," we give it welcome. The Editors, who are men of science, appear different or success: But if their original essays partake of the spirit of former numbers under the same title, and
Continue like Sterne, To digress with his wit, with his humour return:
If their biographical department is, in a measure, devoted to the refutation of American worthies.—If in their criticisms they should analyze the literary productions of their own country:—In their miscellany cull the fairest exotics; and from the "Stop of Colon and Spence" give such "fresh goods" as we know that literary repository is capable of producing—not the least doubt can be entertained of success.

HALIFAX, N. C. May 11.
On the 6th inst. arrived here from the Upper Saura Town, above 200 miles distant on Dan River, a boat 53 feet long and six feet three inches wide, about seven tons burthen, under the direction of Mr. Jeremiah Wade. She brought about nine hogheads from the above place, six of which she discharged at St. Tammany's 40 miles above this, (there being no impediment whatever in the river for that distance, it having been cleared by the donations of individuals) and brought about 5000 wt. through the falls to this place.—These Talls have hitherto been deemed impassable, and this is the first attempt of the kind. Mr. Wade made a slight survey of them, and is of opinion that at a small expence they may be made navigable with safety for boats of much larger burthen.
A number of gentlemen have engaged Mr. Wade to make an accurate survey on his return, and to form an estimate of the probable expence of removing the obstructions—which he is to report to them when accomplished.

"THE ridiculous notions maintained by Free Thinkers in their writings scarce deserve a serious refutation; and perhaps the best method of answering them would be to select from their works all the absurd and impossible notions, which they so silly maintain, in order to evade the belief of the christian religion. I shall here throw together a few of their contradictory tenets, under the contradictory title of
The Unbelievers Creed.
I believe that there is no God, but that matter is God, and God is matter; and that it is no matter whether there be any God or no. I believe also that the world was not made; that the world made itself; that
it had no beginning; that it will last forever, world without end.
I believe that a man is a beast; that the soul is the body, and the body the soul; and that after death there is neither body nor soul.
I believe that there is no religion; that natural religion is the only religion; and that all religion is unnatural.
I believe not in revelation; I believe in tradition, I believe in the Talmud, I believe in the Alcoran; I believe not in the bible; I believe in Sanconianho, I believe in Confucius, I believe in Mahomet; I believe not in Christ.
Lately, I believe in many things altogether monstrous and incredible; rather than believe in the christian revelation:—in a word, I believe in all unbelief.

HAGUE, March 1.
Answer of the Representatives of the French People in Holland, to the Dutch Commissioners appointed to signify to them the ardent wish of the new States General, to see the bonds between the two Republics drawn closer, by a treaty of alliance.
The Representatives of the French People, while they receive in the name of their nation the assurances of Friendship and proposals of alliance made to them by a solemn deputation from the States General of the United Provinces of the Low Countries, look on this event as the prelude of felicity to the two nations.
The National Convention, to whom we shall transmit the wishes you express will know that an alliance with France is now asked for by the States General renewed and regenerated; they will learn with an interest for which we answer, that they are not to treat with the administration which had seconded the efforts of the ci-devant Stadtholder against French liberty, and which called out for peace only when terrified by the rapidity of our victories, and less to spare the blood and treasures of the people, than preserve by a treaty the splendor of its idol; with that government which, suffering its power to be wrested from it by reiterated usurpations of an ambitious house, presented to Europe nothing but an aching contract between the pomp of its titles and the nullity of its power; with that government, in fine, which invested with the sovereignty of the Batavian people, bent under the domination of a foreign court, and under the absolute mandate of a minister its creature.
We shall transmit with all expedition to the convention the important decree which you communicated in so candid & friendly a manner. They will find in your declaration of the Rights of Man, in your Proclamation of the sovereignty of the People, and in the abolition of the office of Stadtholder, those principles they have long since manifested, but the application of which in other countries they will never require, faithful to the solemn engagement they have taken, never to meddle in the internal concerns of the government of foreign nations.
Your resolutions upon the re organization of your army and the re-establishment of your marine, will not escape their notice when you propose a treaty of alliance. The Convention will know how to value the courage of a people that fought 80 years for liberty. They will notice light of the talents and triumphs of your seamen: they know what may be expected from the Batavians upon that element, on which they have so often been victors on the side of liberty, and from which they have snatched the country which they inhabit, a proof, at once of their valour and industry.
If as we wish, the treaty of alliance proposed by the States General of the United provinces of the Low Countries, and concerning which the solemn deputation you send to Paris to renew the wish, is well received by the government and ratified by the National Convention, you may depend on the unalterable adherence of the French to their engagements. You may rest secure on the power and energy which they will display for the independence of their allies. You will no longer have to dread that ambitious and perfidious policy, which too well seconded by some agents of your government, encroached slowly, but progressively, upon your commerce; and France, which is determined to be free and will be free and respected, will unite the rights and prosperity of its friends, to its glorious destiny.
FRANCKFORT, March 6.
Nothing material has happened before Mentz. The French have drawn back their outposts some days ago. It is reported that the Prussian army will
consist of 60,000 men, the third part of which is cavalry, it is formed in Westphalia, and will act offensively.
NEUFCHATEL, Feb. 24.
The high price of the provisions has caused the emigrants to be expelled from hence: among 1200 French priests, the greatest part repaired to their respective departments, and we learn that they have been received as brothers.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
March 21.
The widow of Girey Duprey formerly editor of the Patriote Francaise a victim under Robespierre petitioned the Convention for alliance. Referred to a committee to report in three days.
A deputation from the section of the arsenal presented a petition of which the following is an extract.
"We cannot deny that the partisans of the system of terror are straining every nerve to effect a crisis and renew their machinations; but let them tremble; the friends of the Republic are up, the last hour of the brigands is at hand, Hasten, Legislators, to avenge France by punishing its oppressors, and by ordering the disarming of all the agents of the tyrannic system which is now destroyed."
[Applauded.] The section of Lepelletier follows and proposes the same measures.
Foullodoire. I too ask that the terrorists be disarmed; but let the royalists and aristocrats be disarmed also; their number is at least equal to that of the terrorists.
The addresses were referred to the committee of general security.
A deputation of the sections of Quinze vigils and of Montreuil petition for the organization of the constitution of 1793.
Chales speaks in favor of the organization of the constitution, and of the immediate execution of the 124th article, which lays that the act of declaration of the act of declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen shall be put up in the hall of the Convention and in all public places.
Tallien. "I ask those who now stand forth as the warm advocates of the constitution, those who appear to have adopted the rallying word of the left, which shewed itself at the close of the constituting assembly, by calling for the constitution, the whole constitution, nothing but the constitution. [Some members rise on the left. Chales and Goujon double their fists at Tallien.] I ask those men who so vociferously call for the constitution, if it was not they who first put it up in a box after it was framed. [Reiterated applause; Chales menaces Tallien.] Nothing will prevent my delivering my opinion, when I am surrounded by the representatives of the people, and amidst public danger. [Warm applause. Tumult on the left. Chales continues menacing.] We all wish for the constitution with a firm government, with the government it points out, and a few men who do not attempt to make the people believe, that there are in this assembly men who do not wish for the constitution."
Bourdou, de L'Offic. "It is the rage of no longer governing which excites those menaces & vociferations." [Applause.]
"Tallien. "All virtuous men should declare themselves energetically against those who would yet oppress us. [Yes, yes, exclaim all the members of the Convention and a majority of the tribunes rising.] The majority of the Convention must. [Noise on the left. Tallien menaces Tallien.] The majority of the Convention and of the people must rise to crush its last enemies. [Yes, yes, from all quarters.] No place of refuge must be left them; and with this view I demand, that in this very sitting measures be taken no longer to suffer those men to calumniate the pure and respectable majority of the Convention. [General applause, murmurs on the left.] The theme of all their calumnies is the non-establishment of the constitution."
Well this constitution which was followed not by organic laws, but by a revolutionary government, let us give it life, let us put it in motion. [Applause.]
"But we shall not be imprudent enough to attempt its execution without organic laws, which would endanger it. We must oppose a barrier to the revolutionary movements; but we must not suffer, that intrigue should put in the place of the government which bears that name, another government which would draw the nation to its ruin. Let us watch the various parties; for it cannot be denied that some would wish the constitution of '91 [limited monarchy] and that others lay that the American government would suit us. [Murmurs on the left.] We must avoid all rocks and listen to the voice of the constitution; active malevolence must be especially repressed, and to this end I move that a report be speedily made on the mode of executing the constitution, and that henceforth it be decreed, that there be no intermediary between this and the definitive government."

Meallie said that all appeared of opinion that the constitution of 1793 should be immediately put in motion. He warned the convention, however, against the dangers of too much precipitancy; and seconded the motion of Chales, that it be engraved on marble and placed in the public squares.
Villard supported the same opinion. A deputation from the section of Popincourt appeared at the bar and spoke against the terrorists. [Applauded.] Ceuil. "I lie none about ascending the tribune: we are to-morrow to be engaged in very important business; [the act of accusation against Barrere, &c.] It is possible that malevolence may entertain some hopes of a rebellion to impede our march. It is said that Siyès has a very important report to make, I hope that he be now heard."
Several members. "The question on the motion of Chales." Roux. "I ask to be heard against that motion." Bouffé D'Anglas. "I will read a letter just brought by a courier extraordinary, and which will throw light on the movements endeavoured to be excited in Paris."
The letter was from L. Frager, a representative of the people in the departments surrounding Paris, dated March 20th, in which he informed, that at Montevillers attempts had been made by the women to excite disturbances, and stop the grain and flour intended for the capital. The leader of these women, a woman of the name of Gondaviller was arrested and condemned by Frager, and the tumult appeased. The letter was referred to the committee of general safety.
Thibaudeau. "The legislators of the French people ought no longer to resemble those priests of antiquity who had two modes of speaking, one secret the other ostensible. Strong in the confidence of the People, we should express, without fear, all that we think; this I will do. Tho' the constitution of 1793 was to be for me now, what it was for a great number of good citizens last year; tho' it should strike to day with death, as it did last year, those who in the assemblies of the People, had the courage to make observations on it; tho' it led to inevitable death, I will speak. [Applauded.]"
"I think it would be very imprudent to give publicity to the constitution before it is put into activity; I say that it is the extreme of imprudence to cause to be engraved upon tables, and exposed in public places a constitution, which I am sure is not known to a majority of the citizens who call for its being, published. [Warm applause.] I do not know what is meant by what every day hear of, a democratic constitution. By democratic constitution do you mean, a government in which the people exercise, in their collective capacity, all their rights? [All the members—no, no.]"
"I know but one democratic constitution, that which secured to the people liberty, equality, and the peaceful enjoyment of their rights [Warm applause.] In this sense of the word the present constitution is not democratic; for the national representation would yet be in the power of a conspiring commune, which more than once attempted to annihilate liberty. [Reiterated applause.] The moment your constitution is put into activity, you must give Paris a municipality, &c."
A great number of members. "And Jacobins." [Applauded.] Thibaudeau. "I declare that I never will consent to an immediate and sudden execution of the constitution; which execution would inevitably result from the publicity which is wished to be given it; for I do not wish in three months to see the Jacobins reinstated, and the national representation dissolved. [General & warm applause; a number of members rise as a token of approbation.] I would with another amendment to the constitution, viz. that the legislative body should have the police and immediate direction of the armed force of the commune in which it shall happen to hold its sittings in its own hands. These amendments made, Bentabole." "An organic law can reach the objects Thibaudeau has in view."
Thibaudeau. "We must also know if you wish, and if it be contrary to the interests of the people to give to factions which may spring up in the Republic the right of partial insurrection (warm applause.) It must be known whether the French people can be engaged in a revolution wrought by villains who say they have the right of insurrection; we must also know whether it is the people we see in insurrection at the doors of bakers, butchers, &c. [Reiterated applause.]"
"It is said that an organic law may remove all these fears, but citizens, remember, that all laws which are not part of the constitution, may be repealed by the legislative body. [Applauded.] A law which guarantees the liberty of the people, and that of their representatives must be immutable as the constitution is; if therefore you decree to day that the constitution of 1793 shall be engraved and immediately published, you by that step put in our own power to avoid perhaps great calamities. The constitution should not leave this hall until the organic laws, according to which it is to be put into motion are made, until the Convention have taken the necessary measures that the vessel of the Republic be not launched before its safe arrival into port be secure."
Falso oppose the motion of Tallien. The organic laws of a constitution are not to be made in 15 days or even a month. We must, therefore, in the mean while, give the present government sufficient energy to repress the enemies of the People, and if Tallien's proposition was adopted this
could not be done without giving to the malevolent a pretext for saying, that it is wished that the form of the government be changed. I move that the commission of sixteen do make the report which they are entrusted to make. I oppose the publication of the constitution in the public squares, and I demand, that if circumstances should require it, that the committee of public safety be entrusted with additional powers."
The clause of the discussion is moved. The president puts this question to vote. A great majority of members rise in the affirmative. The members on the left complain of not having heard what the president had put to vote.
The President. "If the majority is to prevail over the minority, then the convention has closed the discussion." Legendre. "We are all of the same mind, let us only understand each other. No one wants to put the constitution in execution, until the organic laws are framed; but as the commission of sixteen are not directed to prepare those laws, and as it is necessary to shut the mouth of malevolence, I move that the Convention do name a commission of eleven members, who shall belong to no other committee, to draft these organic laws." This motion was unanimously agreed to amidst universal plaudits.

LYONS, 27 Pluviose. Yesterday a man named Fernex, a Judge of the commission established under Robespierre, was arrested and conducted to the revolutionary committee: he had hardly arrived, when a great number of women, whose husbands had perished pursuant to his judgment, assembled in a mass in the street, to take vengeance by their own hands. An escort of 30 cavalry and 200 infantry had been ordered to conduct him in safety to prison; notwithstanding which the people assembled in crowds, and pronounced on him the sentence of Death. Maugre the armed force, he was killed on the Quay of the Rhone, and his body thrown into the stream.
Citizen Verninae was at Venice the last of the month—he has employed the unhappy interval in continuing his route to Constantinople—he is accompanied by Ruffin a man of great merit, and well versed in the oriental languages and in the Ottoman government.
The members of the ancient revolutionary tribunal of Paris, accomplices of Dumas and Coffinhall, who have resided here peaceably to this day, have been arrested by order of the Committee of Public Safety; it is presumed that the same measure will be adopted towards those who have retired to the Departments.
PARIS, March 5.
It appears that Merat bequeathed his pen and his presses to Chales, also a deputy, and that he is said to be the author of the Journal, entitled "The Friend of the People."
Bentabole denounced this fragment to the Convention—"It is time that republicans should adopt a mode of reasoning equally simple and sure; such things, say they, please the aristocrats, therefore they are bad; some others displease them, therefore they are good and favorable to the people. This logic I know is not that of the academy, nor of the Book makers—but that good sense which enlightens the people is a greater master than Aristotle and his disciples.—Judge therefore of the 31st May and the 10th Thermidor, by the sense of the people. The aristocrats applaud the one and abuse the other. Now apply this simple, but just and true criterion of the Sans Culottes, the consequence is readily discerned."
"There always was, and there always will be, between the people and the aristocracy, an opposition of principles and interests; that is the reason that the people and the aristocrats are divided in opinion on these two memorable days—of which the result, to this hour, appears to be diametrically contrary. We ought not, in revolutions, to judge but from the results."
After that, said Bentabole, it is clear that the author has tried to show that the revolution has not been made but to favor the aristocrats.
Bentabole continued to read, "Since the fall of Robespierre (you see he does not say the punishment) has been followed, like that of the Girondists, with a general return to the true principles, and with a strong impulsion towards democracy! Since the 10th of Thermidor, upon which the opinion of the people is yet not decisively known" (The indignation of the assembly prevented Bentabole from proceeding) The author of this writing, said Clauzel, is an ancient prebendary, who regrets the loss of his twelve thousand livres a year, and who has for a long time wrote for the paper of the Abbe Royou. Merlin of Thionville said, that there are the residue of the horde of Robespierre, who would abuse and disgrace the Convention, and usurp to themselves its power.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, May 25.
A Philadelphia paper of Saturday, was last evening received in town, which (tho' we could not obtain a light of it) is said to contain a letter from Mr. Church, the American Consul to the Court of Spain, reciting particulars of a naval engagement of two days, between the French and British Mediterranean fleets of 14 sail of the line each, besides attendant frigates and sloops of war—the result of which was (after a tremendous conflict that caused the fleets the one to sheer off for Gibraltar, and the other for Toulon) the prize on the first day, of a British 74 by the French, and on the second day, of a French frigate and sloop, by the English. This day's mail will doubtless afford the letter.
Capt. Cochran, of the British frigate Thetis, of 36 guns, has written his lady, now in this city, that he had taken 1200 French vessels, armed en flute; that he was then towing one of them mounting 24 guns, into Halifax, it being disabled in the conflict, perhaps less glorious to the British navy than many in the "globe terrestrial," in which he (Capt. Cochran) lost eight men. Greenleaf's Argus.
The accounts have been confirmed that Capt. Cochrane, with the Thetis and Hussar frigates, fell in about 9 days ago with 5 French ships, and after an action of an hour and a half captured La Prevoyante; the Hussar captured another, whose name is not mentioned; the other three escaped. Capt. Cochrane had 8 killed, and nine wounded; the Hussar only two wounded. The loss of the French ships is not mentioned. The Prevoyante is rated in the French navy at 40 guns, en flute. It is said she had 24 guns which she brought to bear on one side. Capt. Cochrane was left on his way to Halifax.
[Daily Advertiser.]
[We have given in our DIARY of yesterday, an abstract of the Decree proposed by Siyès, on the 22d of March.—The article which specifies where the Convention should meet, in case a dissolution should take place, is of such consequence that we present it to our readers at large.]
Translated for the DIARY, from Paris papers.
Decree, proposed by SIYÈS.
Article XVIII. Should it happen (what Legislators should think of, but what experience has proved to be possible) that the enemies of the people, either royalists or anarchists, should go so far as to violate, oppress or dissolve the national representation, then the guardians of liberty and the French republic: prefer the following measures as the fundamental law:
 1. Those representatives who shall have escaped the stroke of Parricides, who are on mission in the departments, and who are absent by leave, shall meet as soon as possible at Chalons sur Marne; but should circumstances prevent them from assembling at the above mentioned place they may assemble at another place most convenient, and a majority shall have power to deliberate; they being equally empowered by their constituents.  2. Those representatives who may continue in the place where the national representation is violated are disqualified from exercising the duties of their mission, or any public employment.  3. The French people during this crisis, shall remain calm and tranquil, and the constituted authorities in every part of the republic, shall be watchful in suppressing insurrections and maintaining good order, and the national militia are required to be ready every where to second the authorities of the republic, and guard the sacred deposit, LIBERTY.  4. The representatives with the armies shall remain at their posts, except one, who shall march towards the Convention, with detachments of republican troops, and form a central army round the Convention, able to avenge the sovereign people, affronted in its representation, and give to the legislature strength sufficient to settle upon an everlasting basis, the French Republic— Une Indivisible & Démocratique.  Art. XIX. As soon as order shall be re-established the republican detachments shall repair to their respective armies.
Sitting of the 21st March.
Levasseur asserts that the disturbances in La Vendée are not ended, and the war with the Chouans rages with as much violence as ever.
A member on the contrary read a letter received the preceding evening in which was announced that a general peace had been concluded with the chief of the Chouans.
PARIS, March 23.
A citizen of Montargis has proposed a new mode of punishment for the terrorists, blood drinkers and members of the Revolutionary Committees who have
abused their power by plundering, robbing and murdering the innocent—it is that they be transported to Barbary and sold for corn—that they may feed the very people they were willing to devour.
The Empress of Russia, has offered to garrison with her troops, the kingdoms of Hungary and Galicia, while the Austrians should be employed in re-conquering the provinces on the Rhine and Belgium, taken by the French.
SPAIN.
TOLOSA, Feb. 12.
For several days the severe cold and heavy falls of snow, have prevented the French from advancing—their army consists of 76 battalions—is commanded by General Monecy, and extends from Villa Francheto Apeyua, a valley where is situated the celebrated Church of St. Jean de Loyola—thus they hold about 60 miles of Spanish territory, and from which they procure great quantities of corn, wine, hay &c.
They have blown up the fortifications of Fontarabia, which from their vicinity to the French frontiers, could shelter the enemy—They are busily employed in encircling and perfecting those of St. Sebastian, and they have formed very close to that town, an entrenched camp large enough to contain a strong army, in case the Spaniards should be bold enough to attack them.
The two important posts of the passage of Guetaria, assure to the French the entire and free possession of the whole of the gulph of Gascoigne; from whence a multitude of privateers swarm incessantly, which destroy the trade of their enemies and carry in prizes every day.
DUBLIN, March 19.
County of Cavan, March 16.
"The Defenders are committing the most outrageous acts in this county. On Monday night they attacked and plundered within two miles of Belurubet, the houses of two Protestant Farmers, and grossly abused their families. A son to one of the farmers found means to escape from his house, and having collected a number of his neighbours, returned for its defence. The banditti fired on them as they approached; the fire was boldly returned by the young man and his friends, and after the exchange of several shots, the Defenders dispersed, leaving five of their party dead.—On the recognition of the bodies, the following morning, they were discovered to have been the inhabitants of the same parish, not one of them having resided more than a mile from Drumlane, the name of the farm-houses attacked."
The passing of the Roman Catholic Bill, as we have already stated, will reconcile all differences in Ireland; and Earl Camden will commence and continue his Administration as if no disturbance had arisen by the inadvertance or temerity of Earl Fitzwilliam's advisers.
PORTSMOUTH, March 22.
Yesterday arrived an American ship named the Swan, Coffin, from Havre de Grace, with several passengers. They have among them near a ton weight of Specie, which will be sent to London to-morrow morning.

NORFOLK, May 20.
On Monday evening came to anchor in Hampton Roads, three French ships, being part of a fleet of five vessels, armed en flute, which sailed from Guadalupe on the 24th of April last.
From what information we have been able to obtain, we learn, that on the 12th of May, on the edge of soundings, to the southward of the Capes, they fell in with an English frigate and a sloop of war. At half past ten an action commenced, and lasted till two o'clock, when the La Prevoyante and La Raison struck to superior force, and the other three got off. During the conflict the French Commodore was killed, on board the La Normande.

NAMES of the Vessels.
 La Normande, Commodore Mahieu, (killed)  La Prevoyante, Capt. Corbin, (taken)  La Raison, Capt. Le Fauf, (do.)  La Prevoyante, Capt. Corbin, (taken)  La Raison, Capt. Le Fauf, (do.) 
Extract of a letter from the Ringers of the ship John and Joseph, Capt. Hale, to his owner in this town dated Norfolk, May 16.
"Dear Sir, "The day before yesterday, about 17 leagues from the land, we were boarded by the British frigate Thetis, Captain Cochran, who pressed from on board us, the second mate, carpenter, and one seaman. This, with one man away, reduced the number 13, on board to so few, and the ship making a great deal of water, that we were obliged to come in here to procure hands. On presenting the case of the vessel to the Captain, he still persisted in taking the men, and said, he would serve every American for the treatment he received at Norfolk."
"To be sure Capt. Cochran was treated very ill at Norfolk, if repairing and fitting out his ship, to enable him to go out and continue his depredations on our commerce, can be considered as ill treatment. But it is expected, that as there will be an end of all things, for a future period, not far distant, there will be put a period to the British pirates on our coast. The John and Joseph was loaded with corn, bound to Bordeaux, and it is expected, from the vessel making much water, and her hands taken from her, that the cargo will be heated and entirely damaged. Americans, can you think of your seamen being taken by force out of your ships, on leaving your harbour—those ships obliged to return into port, to procure others, who may experience the same fate, and submit without a murmur?"
It appears as if Mr. Cochran was determined to throw every other impediment in the way of vessels going to France, where there is no plea of sending them into British ports for adjudication.
PHILADELPHIA, May 26.
Extract of a letter from Joshua M c Williams, Commander of the Sloop Maritba, to a merchant in this city. Port-de-Paix, May 2, 1795.
Sir, Since my last of the 7th ult. I have delivered the whole of my flour to the administration; on delivery of which, a dispute arose respecting the quality, which was determined by the court of admiralty of this place in my favour, after two weeks demur, during which there were three different surveys, upon it: the agents for administration wished to cutail three dollars per barrel, for which I stood trial, and it was finally decided against them. In my last I informed you of my intention of leaving the property and returning home, but some circumstances have occurred since, which determines me to wait the event, tho' my prospect of receiving payment is but little better than when I wrote you last: I cannot count on receiving my payment in less than four months from the present*, but shall not depart from this (unless forced) until I receive payment. I shall embrace every opportunity of writing for your information. I remain your humble servant.
JOSHUA M c WILLIAMS.
* Capt. M c Williams arrived at Port-de-Paix the 23 March, and should he effect his departure by the 22d September next, which is very doubtful, he will then have experienced a detention of near six months—no short time for a vessel of about 600 barrels.
Extract of a letter from Port-de-Paix, to a merchant in this city, dated the 10th of May, 1794.
"My last would inform you of my determination to wait for payment, which I have very little prospect of obtaining in any reasonable time, as I am the 22d vessel on the list, and we are to be paid in rotation. There comes in about forty or fifty thousand weight of Coffee Monthly to administration, and the crops are well in. The vessel this goes by, the Schooner Laura, Capt. James Aldrick, belongs to Messrs. Samuel and John Smith of Baltimore, and is expected to return here for payment."

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth. By Mrs Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review , April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not im- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- ticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the in- constancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artfully and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.”

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. “The authors have presumed to assign to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censureable action, whosoever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colors. It is well necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lish whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.”
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the cloud of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.

A View of the Evidences
of CHRISTIANITY.
IN THREE PARTS.
1. Of the direct Historical Evidence of Christianity, and wherein it is distinguished from the Evidence of other miracles.
2. Of the Auxiliary Evidence of Christian- ity.
3. A brief consideration of some popular Objections. By WILLIAM PALEY, M. A. Archdeacon of Carlisle.
In One large Octavo volume. Price one dol- lar and three quarters, handsomely bound.
In the present enlightened age, when free discussion has opened the eyes of mankind, and the fabrics of Deism and Superstition are crumbling to the dust, it becomes an ob- ject of no small importance, to distinguish leading Truths from those Counterfeits which had assumed their names and usurped their place, and in the subversion of which, Truth itself is too apt to be discarded without in- quiry.
In the present work, the learned author (who had before distinguished himself by his principles of moral and political Philosophy) has treated the subject with that ability and can- dour which becomes it, and has exhibited in a short compass, perhaps the clearest and most distinct view of the proper evidences of christ- ianity ever published.

PROPOSALS
Will be received at the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue, For Building a
LIGHT HOUSE,
On Seguin Island, near the mouth of Kenne- beck river, on the coast of the District of Maine; of the following Materials, Dis- mensions and Description.
THE form is to be an Octagon. The foun- dation is to be of stone, to be sunk, if prac- ticable, thirteen feet below the bottom of the wooden work, or twelve feet and an half be- low the surface of the earth, and to be com- menced of the diameter of twenty seven feet. It is to be laid solidly to the height of two feet. From thence to the bottom of the wood- en work, the foundation wall is to be eleven feet high, and six feet thick.
As it is intended that the above described stone foundation shall only be carried six in- ches higher than the crown level of the knoll or rock on which the Light-house is to be er- ected, and it may be found impossible, on account of the rock, to link the same to the depth of twelve feet and one half below the earth, or thirteen feet below the wooden work, it is necessary that the propositions for the said stone foundation be made by the perch to include all costs, charges and expenses of materials, workmanship and labor.
The octagonal pyramid is to be well fram- ed, and of stout heart fine timber. It is to be of twenty six feet in diameter at the base, there- of where it will rest on the top of the stone foundation, to which it is to be well secured by sixteen stout iron straps built therein and otherwise. The height of the wooden build- ing from the bottom of the water table and from the surface of the earth, is to be forty feet to the top of the wooden work, under the floor of the lantern; where the diameter is to be fifteen feet. The foundation is to be capped with sawed stone at least eight inches wide, and sloped at top to turn off the wa- ter.
The frame of the pyramid is to be covered with boards of one inch and one half in thickness, over which is to be laid a good & complete covering of shingles, and well pain- ted with three coats. The light-house is to have two windows in the East, and two win- dows in the West. The sashes are to be hung with hinges, and each sash is to have eight panes of glass, eight by ten inches.
On the top of the wooden work of the pyramid is to be a strong framed tier of joists, beded therein, planked over with oak plank extending one foot beyond the side of the pyramid, thereby forming an eave, which is to be finished with a cornice, the whole hav- ing a descent from the center, sufficient to throw off the water, and to be covered with copper.
A complete and sufficient iron Lantern in the octagonal form is to rest thereon; the eight corner pieces or stanchions of which are to be well secured to the upright timbers of the pyramid, or to the tier of joists, or both. These stanchions are to be very strong and stout in the lower ten feet, and three and one-half inches by two and one-half inches above. The Lantern is to be ten feet high, from the floor to the bottom of the dome or roof, and to have a dome or roof of five feet in height. The whole space between the poles to be occupied by the sashes, which are to be moulded on the inside and truck solid.
Each sash is to have twenty-eight large panes
