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 Fifth 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 un- 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, the regularity of her former conduct, is en- trusted from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend. The situations are artful and af- fecting; the descriptions natural and suc- cessful; 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." 2. The Inquisitor, by Mrs. Rowson, Se- cond Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3.

"The authors have presumed to affix 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 censurable action, whomsoever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colour. It was 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 no noble 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 enemies of either party. But when time has diffused the clouds of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that the fact from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to re- EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—PAGE 12.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, November 27, 1794.
Debate on Mr. Dayton's motion to re- flore the words "self-created societies and," which had been expunged in the address to the President in answer to his Speech.
(Concluded.)
Mr. W. Smith, in reply to Mr. Giles, cleared himself from any inconsistency in the case alluded to, by asserting that he had not denied the right of the house but the propriety of the exercise of it. He had disapproved of the house giving an opinion of the merits or demerits of the French constitution, which, as France was in a revolutionary state, was liable to frequent change; and the event had justified him, for the house had scarce passed the vote which extolled that constitution as a model of wisdom and magnanimity when the French themselves denounced it as inconsistent with their rights and liberties. But the gentleman from Virginia was undoubtedly inconsistent, for he had on that occasion contended for the right of the house to give its opinion; and that in a case where the answer was to be given to the sovereign of a foreign nation, respecting the affairs and policy of a foreign country. If the house were right on that occasion a fortiori ought they now, when called on by our Chief Magistrate to give an opinion on an important crisis respecting the affairs of our own country.
Friday, December 5.
A Bill for the relief of Peter Covenhoven was passed to the third reading.
In Committee of the whole on the estimate of appropriations for the support of government for the year 1795.
Mr. Coburn on the chair—The Committee after some discussion adopted the reported estimate as far as respects the civil list—then they rose and reported accordingly—and in the House a bill was ordered to be brought in—The residue of the estimate was referred to a select Committee.
A resolution was laid on the table by Mr. Fitzsimons authorizing the President to borrow two millions of dollars at a rate not exceeding 5 per cent.
Mr. Nicholas laid on the table a resolution for the appointment of a Committee to make enquiry how far the act of Congress providing for the defence of the frontier had been carried into execution.
Mr. W. Smith brought in a report on the petition of Mr. Egron—author of the Levi of Europe and America , a new periodical publication—the report states that the Committee entertain a high opinion of the utility of the work in question yet the request of the petition could not be granted on account of the numerous difficulties attending it—The petition was, that communications for the publication should be exempted from postage.
The Committee of the whole was discharged from any further proceeding on the militia compensation bill—which was referred to a select Committee.
In Committee of the whole on the resolution for compensating the sufferers by the western insurrection—after some conversation on the subject—progress was reported—and that part of the President's speech relative to this object was referred to a select Committee of five.
The resolutions relative to cultivating a commercial intercourse with the Indian Tribes, were agreed to in Committee of the whole—and a bill ordered pursuant thereto.
Adjourned till Monday.
PHILADELPHIA,
DECEMBER 8.
The world is probably reaping its last harvest from the slavery and toil of the natives of Africa—The French having emancipated the blacks in their Islands, no doubt can be entertained that they will ere long become the Lords of the Soil—in that case, it is not to be presumed, that from ten to fifteen men with arms in their hands will labor for the support of one—This being the case, it requires not the spirit of prophecy to foresee that the culture of the Islands will be totally changed—or if it should be continued on its present plan by the blacks for a time, no whites will be permitted to reside among them, but in the capacity of slaves—The probability however is, that the negroes will revert in a great measure to the state of life to which the great majority of them were accustomed in their own country.
The Legislatures of the States of Virginia and Maryland, now in Session have ratified the amendment proposed by Congress to the Constitution of the United States, respecting the suability of the individual States.
On the 13th November last came on in the Assembly of Georgia, the election of a Senator to represent that state in the Senate of the United States. The votes taken are as follows:
For James Gunn 36 For Edward Telfair 12 For William Few 3
By which it appears that the Hon. James Gunn is re-elected a Senator of the United States.
Saturday at Twelve o'clock, the Governor, attended by the State Officers, and a number of Citizens, met both houses of the Legislature in the Senate Chamber, and delivered the following patriotic and conciliatory
ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the SENATE, and
Gentlemen of the HOUSE of
REPRESENTATIVES,
IT affords me the highest satisfaction to meet you under circumstances, which justify an assurance, that law, order and tranquility, have been restored in the western counties of the state. The crisis which occasioned the late extraordinary call of the Legislature: which menaced the reputation, as well as the peace, of the community; and which imposed the necessity of resorting from the judicial, to the military power: has been resisted and overcome, in a manner equally honorable and efficacious. Such has been their success, that the sensations of indignation and regret, which the insurrection originally excited, in the mind of every virtuous citizen, will be fairly exchanged, for the sensations of an honest pride, and a laudable exultation. That men should be so deluded as to swerve from the duty, which they owe to society; or so ignorant as to abandon the interests, which they derive from its protection; may be reckoned among the imperfections of our nature, and will be found among the sources of public calamity in every age, and in every country. But the example of an enlightened people, rising, with zeal and affection, to maintain the constitution, which they had established with freedom and deliberation;—of an insulted Government solicitous to reclaim, rather than to punish, its deluded or refractory Citizens; and of an extensive Republic possessing the power to enforce obedience to its laws;—has, for the first time, been exhibited to the world, and forms the glorious characteristic of the American nation.
At the opening of the last session, I communicated the circumstances of riot and outrage, which attended the insurrection; and the steps which had been taken, on the part of the United States, as well as of Pennsylvania, to rescue the offenders from their delusion, by the influence of reason and truth; or, in the event of an obstinate perseverance in a lawless course, to subdue and punish them. Actuated by passions the most intemperate, and seduced by hopes the most visionary, the insurgents slighted all the overtures of Government;—falsely construing its benevolence into fear, and its aversion to the use of force, into the consciousness of a defect of power. The pleasing prospect, therefore, of reconciling them to their duty by amicable means, could no longer be indulged with safety, or justice, to the Union; and accordingly, the President directed the Militia, destined for the suppression of the insurrection, to repair to the respective places of rendezvous. It will be remembered, Gentlemen, that often before this summons, I represented to the Legislature, the imperfect state of our Militia law, and the embarrassments that were likely to occur, in drafting and organizing any part of the Militia for actual service. The experiment proved the justice of my apprehensions. For, however promptly the orders were issued, however explicit in their terms, to obtain a full and immediate compliance with the President's requisition, doubts of success were suggested in almost every return, which I received from the Brigade inspectors; and, at length, it became manifest, that neither the regard which I felt for the honor of the State, nor a personal solicitude to discharge my Federal obligations, could be gratified, by an implicit reliance upon the ordinary process of the law. Under this impression, I determined, in the first place, to invite a voluntary enrolment of the Citizens, (a measure which appeared, in my judgment, to be strictly conformable to the spirit of the provision, that authorises the drafted Militia to employ substitutes) and, in the next place, I determined to visit every county included in the requisition, for the purpose of removing difficulties, in the organization of the several quotas; of dispelling any dangerous prejudices that might exist, by a faithful communication of the facts and principles connected with the expedition; and of stimulating the people to an exemplary exertion in support of that constitution, which every enlightened and honest man must contemplate, as the palladium of American liberty, and the sanctuary of human happiness.
To the expedient of raising the quota of Pennsylvania, by voluntary enrolments, the Legislature has already given a liberal and efficient sanction; but I feel myself unequal to the task of recom-
mending, with adequate energy, to your grateful attention the alacrity, spirit and perseverance of our fellow Citizens, in vindicating the violated authority of the laws. As soon as the situation of our Country was truly described and understood; the daring and cruel career of the malcontents; the failure of every conciliatory effort; and the resulting necessity of an appeal to arms; produced, in perfect unison with my anticipations, one common sentiment of resentment,—one common determination to defend the peace and order of society, against the machinations of licentiousness and anarchy. In this patriotic work, the veterans who had achieved our Independence, and established our Government, were associated with the virtuous youth of the rising generation, who justly thought, that the best acknowledgment for the invaluable inheritance prepared for them, must be to cherish and protect it. That rich and the poor, were alike emulous to distinguish themselves; so that to the scene exhibited by their conduct, in which all the advantages of fortune were surrendered and forgotten, we are indebted for a practical illustration of the equal rights, and equal obligations of the Citizens of the American Republic. The pride of opinion, and even the acrimony of party, yielded likewise to the generous enthusiasm. Controversies relating to the impolicy of particular measures were no longer sustained; but every class and description of citizens impressed with this fundamental truth that where there is no law, there can be no liberty, with equal ardor and fidelity combined in the maintenance of the general cause. The same principles and the same practice were displayed by the Citizens of our sister States, New-Jersey, Maryland and Virginia. Advancing, indeed, under the President's requisition, to aid us, in restoring the tranquility of Pennsylvania, they have added another important feature to the transaction, by evincing the reality and the energy of our political union, and by furnishing the most endearing proofs of a fraternal attachment, which disclaims all territorial boundary and distinction.
With an army thus constituted, of Citizens, who cheerfully relinquished all the avocations, indulgences, and emoluments of private life, to assert the sovereignty of the laws, in a remote and rugged Country, at an inclement season of the year, there could be no room for doubt or apprehension, respecting the event. Yet, that the triumph of humanity, the number of the troops, with as much wisdom as benevolence, was made so great, (amounting to 15,000 men) as to overawe, in the most despotica and rash, any disposition for hostility and resistance. The approach of this formidable force, accordingly, produced the mediated effects. The spirit and celerity with which it was collected, soon convinced the Insurgents, that they had nothing to hope from the inactivity, nor from the countenance, of any part of the community. The friends of Government, resuming their confidence in its power and disposition to protect them, became vigilant in counteracting the instruments of sedition, and in disseminating a knowledge of the duties and interests of a free people. The desire of acquiring information was awakened among honest, though deluded, men, by the universal abhorrence, which stigmatized the insurrection; and impending danger sunk into submission, those, whom virtue had ceased to controul, and truth was unable to convince. Thus, without the effusion of blood, without an injury to private property, and without a violation of any personal right, has the object of Government been attained:—The Courts of Justice being reinstated in their legitimate authority; the laws of the Union enjoying a free operation; the good Citizen reaping the reward of his services; and the delinquent incurring the punishment of his crimes. But amidst the many remarkable facts, which the history of this event must embrace, none can be more honorable, none will be deemed more pregnant with beneficial consequences, than those which afford an example of the strict subordination of the military, to the civil power; and by proving the competency of our Militia to enforce obedience to the laws, destroy every pretext for the introduction of a standing army.
But considering the various probable effects of the calamity which we deplore, the sources of consolation abundantly present themselves. It has been the aim of other Governments to derive from similar convulsions, an accession of authority and strength; but the American Republic, constituted and administered by the People, and invincible while employed in asserting their rights,
disdains to seek, either honor, or power, from an adventitious influence. The people made, and the people only can maintain it. This truth, applied particularly to our civil compact, contains, indeed, the vital principle of all republicanism:—that principle, which establishes an indissoluble union and correspondence of interests, feelings and actions, between the Government, and its Citizens; and which has uniformly raised, and will, I am confident, forever raise, the arm of an American Freeman to crush the sedition of domestic traitors, as well as to repel the invasion of a foreign foe.
Thus, placing the power and stability of our government on a legitimate basis, the determination to support our constitution and laws, so forcibly expressed during the late crisis, cannot fail to elevate the federal character abroad, and to improve the general happiness at home. From one view of this part of the subject, however, I receive particular pleasure. We have witnessed the alacrity, with which the call of the President was obeyed, by men of every political sentiment; and we have heard the unanimous voice, with which the lawful conduct of the Insurgents has been reprobated, in every quarter of the union; the same motives, and the same end, have been avowed and demonstrated by all. Shall we not, then, be permitted to hope, that mutual confidence, in matters of integrity; and mutual deference, in matters of opinion; will hereafter extinguish those feuds, and soften those asperities, which, in a degree greatly to be lamented, have often disturbed the harmony of social life, and have sometimes deranged the system of political operations? Let us, at least, gentlemen, lend all our aid to the accomplishment of so salutary an object. Let our advice and example diffuse among our fellow-citizens the principles of conciliation and affection towards each other, and towards the governments, which are entrusted with the superintendence and direction of their common interests.
While we review the circumstances which have attended the insurrection, in order to select the means of consolation, the wisdom of the legislature will naturally combine with that pursuit, an investigation of the most effectual measures, to prevent the recurrence of a similar calamity. Allow me, therefore, gentlemen, to press upon your consideration, the constitutional injunction, "to provide by law, as soon as conveniently may be, for the establishment of Schools throughout the state, in such manner that the poor may be taught gratis." I have on other occasions, indeed, observed, that to multiply, regulate, and strengthen the sources of education, is the duty, and must be the delight, of every wise and virtuous government; for, the experience of America has evinced, that knowledge, while it makes us sensible of our rights as men, enforces our obligations as members of society. But on no occasion could the observation be more emphatically urged than the present; since I may confidently appeal to the conviction of every mind, which has been employed in examining the origin and progress of the late disturbances, for an assurance, that ignorance (whose natural concomitants are credulity and temerity) has been the principal cause of the provoked mischief. Reflecting, then, that a provision for the establishment of public schools was contained in the old constitution of the state; and that its insertion in the new constitution shews the continued opinion of its policy; I trust I shall be excused, after a lapse of near twenty years, in soliciting your immediate attention for this interesting branch of the legislative trust. While your predecessors enjoy the reputation arising from an early and faithful payment of the state debts; from a judicious disposition of the public treasure and resources; and from an unexampled, but successful, amelioration of our penal code; may the theme of your praise flow from institutions, that shall illuminate the minds of our fellow-citizens, and establish science on a pure and permanent foundation!
In the course of the communications, which I have heretofore addressed to the legislature, a variety of topics have been suggested, that may be thought still to merit a share in your deliberations. In general, I shall content myself with a bare reference to those communications; though I cannot omit the repetition of my anxiety for the organization of our Militia, upon a plan, in its terms more perspicuous, and in its operation more efficient, than the present. The improvement, likewise, of our roads and rivers becomes daily more interesting, owing to the emigrations, which furnish us with an almost daily increase of population. The situation of affairs, du-

the late expedition, has considerably embarrassed the execution of my design to obtain a critical and general survey of the improvements, undertaken by the existing contractors; but as far as my information, or observation, will extend, there is ample encouragement to persevere in the beneficial policy, which actuated your predecessors on this subject.
As the enlistments of the corps stationed at the Fort on Mud-Island, have expired; it will require legislative consideration, whether the same circumstances which originally led to that establishment, for preserving the peace and neutrality of the port, do not now require its continuance. The proper instructions have been issued, for maintaining the garrison at Fort le Boeuf; but, it is probable, that the temporary provision which Congress has made, for keeping a military force in the western counties, will supersede the necessity of your interposing, at this time, for the protection of our frontiers. Indeed, the recent victory obtained, by the gallant army, under the command of General Wayne, promises a speedy relief from every apprehension of savage depredation. As it seems already to have changed the arrogant and hostile tone of the northern Indians, it can hardly fail to produce a disposition for peace among the western tribes, who have so severely felt the power and prowess of their enemy.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
You will perceive from the documents which I have directed to be laid before you, that the accumulation of our revenue during the recess, has been considerable and uniform, notwithstanding the deductions for the western expedition, and the temporary derangement which that event unavoidably occasioned in pecuniary transactions with the Government. Since the 16th day of August last, there has been received a sum of 128,510 dollars and 51 cents which being added to 417,277 and 44 cents, at that time in the treasury, will form an aggregate of 639,887 dollars and 95 cents. The disbursements from the same date, including, among other charges, the expense of the late session of the legislature, and the appropriation for the militia services, have amounted to 18,823 dollars and 79 cents. From this statement, therefore, it appears, that there is at this time, an unappropriated balance of 457,064 dollars and 16 cents in the treasury, subject only to the claims, for discharging the current expenses of government, and an unsatisfied sum of about 35,000 dollars, in warrants and certificates for unfunded debt. In this balance, however, no notice is taken of the dividend on the public stock, in the Bank of Pennsylvania, which will always be nearly sufficient to defray the expenses of government; while the product of the land-office, the gradual collection of the arrearage of taxes, and the revenue arising from fees payable in the several public offices, must furnish an annual augmentation of our pecuniary capital.
So flourishing a state of our finances will, I have no doubt, excite a liberal enquiry into the best means of employing the unappropriated surplus of the public income. The improvement of our roads and rivers can never escape your attention; and the erection of suitable buildings for the safe-keeping of our public records, will occur to you with growing importance. But I confess, that at this period, I contemplate the establishment and endowment of seminaries for useful learning, as the most laudable and patriotic object, upon which the treasure of the state can be expended.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives.
The event which has so dangerously disturbed the public peace, and so generally agitated the public mind, will, I hope, lead every citizen seriously to estimate the blessings, which we now enjoy, compared as well with the miseries that afflict almost every country on the globe, as with our own political depression at a former period. The effect of this review, cannot fail to awaken the most lively emotions of gratitude: and to present the most forcible inducements to circumspection and vigilance, in the exercise of our civil rights, and the performance of our social duties. If, in any degree, it serves to strengthen the boundary between liberty and licentiousness—to prevent the abuse without impairing the use of any valuable right,—our fellow-citizens will inevitably find, that they have established an additional security for their own happiness, and for the happiness of their posterity.

From a London paper of Sept. 18
A dreadful fire broke out at Boston in America, nearly at the same time as the late shocking fire at Ratcliffe, and from the same cause, the boiling over of
pitch kettle; which burnt with such rapidity as to consume nearly one fourth of Boston, destroying several wharves and stores of merchandise in a few hours. The loss of property is estimated at 20,000. sterling, and it is believed that the whole is uninsured.
Many accidents having happened of late from fire, occasioned by the boiling over of tar kettles, a Correspondent requests us to make public the following preventative:—When the tar is in its cold state, mix with it about two penny worth of good bird lime, till it is well incorporated;—this done, the tar may be made to boil without the least fear of boiling over.

MR. FENNO, I was glad to find by your paper that the thanks of the Democratic Societies were to be tendered to the distinguished characters who have so zealously and ably vindicated their conduct. I hope that suitable acknowledgments will not only be made to those who have the honor to be honorary members but to those who have the more transcendent honor of being real members, altho' the latter may have only said a word on the occasion, for you know that one word, on a critical occasion, may do as more service than whole columns of notes; many people would be at the trouble of reading those long speeches where a body forgets one part while he is reading another, whereas a single word if it's apropos, may decide a nice question.
Yours, TOM THE TINKER.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO, A gentleman from a southern state has given us a detail of such impositions on the credulity of the citizens in that vast extent of country as deserve no little reflection. This gentleman is a known and able opponent of the northern politics: This information will not therefore need any corroboration with our southern readers. It goes to shew how strongly as well as wickedly the national government has been misrepresented. This has long been charged upon the insurgent newspapers, and clubs, by the supporters of the prevailing measures: but they have made so a shew of invalidating the charge upon them, because it proceeds from their opponents.—The admission of the fact of the grossest and most probable deceptions being spread in the country, being now made by a gentleman whom they will not refuse credit to, it behoves us to look more carefully than we have yet done into the foundations of federal security.
The safety of the constitution rests in opinion. The people thinking their plan of government wise and their servants upright and honest will support it, because they will respect and love the authority they have appointed for the public good.
But we are told that opinion by means of lies is with great numbers turned against government. Few, very few wise and good men are there who do not respect the constituted authorities. If then groundless charges, and the most groundless can be imagined, will turn mens heads round, will turn respect and love of the magistrates and laws into jealousy, fear, and hatred, then so far as these deadly passions spread, our safety no longer depends on opinion, (for that acts to destroy, not to support) but on force. The lying newspapers and clubs, and their runners, produce this sad alternative, either to let government fall before the insurgents, or to call on the loyal and sober citizens to hold it up by main strength. Some persons have been not a little vain of their independence, republicanism, and zeal. These sentiments they boast almost daily, they have evinced by their incessant attempts to decry certain measures, now solemn acts of government sanctioned by repeated majorities, and to blacken and hunt down certain high officers of the government. Terms of reproach have been exhausted to shew the wickedness of both; and has any thing been left unfaid to alarm jealousy and awaken rage. In these things had been true, violent consequences were to be expected from their being established: but still perhaps the truth should be told and the consequences risked.—But if they are utterly false, what is the tendency of their circulation, but to kindle insurrection and to drive good citizens to aid the laws by force. By the foulest arts, by industry (that would do honor to a good cause) in spreading jealousies and accusations, one insurrection has been fomented, and the materials are ready for more. The body politic seems to be ruled by two wills. The movements of a certain great body have either stopped, each party being strong enough to disappoint the efforts of the other, or the motion has been slow, heavy, sometimes backward.—
will not the machine of government soon wear out with so much friction? Will not the strength that drags forward all the salutary plans we have yet adopted, grow weary and faint? It is for the people to weigh the clamorous mock patriots in their balance. They will find their merits to be, not doing business, but hindering its being done, scattering suspicions and accusations with equal levity and rancour of heart. Such men are better calculated and more actively engaged to mar our federal government than to carry it into operation. If the districts that send such men are really federal and republican, as they would be thought, their conduct is a riddle. If they would unhinge every thing, it is intelligible enough. C.

BOSTON, December 1.
IMPORTANT NEWS. DIRECT FROM FRANCE.
Yesterday afternoon arrived here, in 41 days from Brest, the ship Betsey, Captain Percival. We are favored with Paris papers, to the 9th of October. These papers were immediately put into the hands of a Gentleman to translate; but the length of their contents prevents our entering into minute details. We have only time to state the following important victories, in a
SUMMARY.
ON the 6th of Oct. a letter, was read in the Convention from the Representative and from Gen. Jourdan, with the army of the Sambre and the Meuse, giving a particular account of a most signal victory over the Austrians, destined to reinforce the Duke of York's army, to the amount of 80,000.
This victory was the most complete of any during the campaign—between 3 and 5000 Austrian slaves were killed and wounded—7 or 800 taken prisoners, and the important city of Juliers, situate about 27 miles from Maestricht and Cologne, surrendered at discretion. The Austrians had previously taken refuge in Juliers, but the Republicans, on the night preceding the surrender, threw a bridge over the river Roer—two regiments in particular, were so impatient, they could not wait for the bridge, swam across the river, and with sword in hand took possession of the ramparts. Before the day dawned the Austrians evacuated the city, and the Magistrates delivered the Keys to Gen. Jourdan. In this city were found 60 pieces of cannon, 60,000 pounds of powder, and immense stores of every kind. The Republican Cavalry pursued the enemy, overtook the rear, and took the baggage with 600 prisoners.
The importance of this brilliant victory and the consequent surrender of Juliers, cannot be too highly estimated. It breaks up the Austrian armies, and in fact, the whole combination. It imposes an obligation on the enemies of France to maintain the armies of the Republic, during the winter—limits or destroys the resources of the Austrians—it secures a safe retreat also to the victorious soldiers of France, in the event of an unexpected reverse of fortune.
Juliers is the key to Maestricht, and this important inlet and barrier to Holland is now closely invested, and even without the hope of extraneous succour.
At present we cannot be more minute on this point. In a word, let the uniform friends of France cherish the hope and opinion, that all things in the power of this mighty Commonwealth are just as they would wish them to be.
By this arrival we are also informed that, provisions and warlike stores, of every kind, were extremely plenty, that twenty-five millions of assignats were called in and burnt between the first and 5th of October—That part of the fleet were out, their expedition not known, and that the armed vessels of the Republic, still continue their successful depredations on the British trade. The Convention has also published a most pathetic and animating address to the People, and above all to the Jacobin or popular Societies; encouraging their zeal and vigilance, and expressing their sense of their obligations to these Patriotic, "self-created" assemblies for their past exertions in favor of liberty. Convinced that the more the minds of a free people are enlightened, the stronger and more powerful will be their efforts.
(Independent Chron.)
FRENCH INTELLIGENCE
is received by Captain Percival, arrived yesterday afternoon, in 41 days from Brest, as late as the 20th October—the same day, on which the Ketch Eliza, of Salem, left Bordeaux. The French newspapers being taken on board the Concord for the inspection of the Captain, and afterwards otherwise disposed of, the Editor notwithstanding the most unremitting exertions, could not obtain a sight of any of them. Two letters only were received by this arrival—one of these the Editor perused, and collected from it the following articles.
The republican armies were still marching in triumph.—On the frontiers of Spain and Holland they were irresistible—and winged by the impiety of their victories, the terror of their arms has already reached the heart of those dominions.—The crops in France were uncommonly luxuriant. The markets of some of the sea ports were glutted. Flour sold, per single barrel, at 8 dollars, in Brest. Carts were daily arriving from the West-Indies with French emigrants. The success of the French privateers was immense. At the port of Brest, there was a continued influx of captives from the English. Three or four prizes were brought in daily—on some days, from ten to twenty.
Capt. P. arrived at Brest, nine days after the old embargo was taken off; and when he left that port, another was momentarily expected.
Fed. Orrery.
Friday last arrived at Marblehead, the brig Galen, Capt. Eddy of this port, after a passage of 65 days from London—in her came passengers—Mr. Campbell of this town, merchant, Capt. Lewis, and Mr. Powell, Manager of the Boston Theatre, with the following reinforcement to his Theatrical troop—viz: Messrs. Taylor, Hipworth, Villars, Heely, Hughes, Mrs. Hughes, Hillian, Miss Harrison, and Mr. Bartlett returned, with his sister and niece.

Liverpool papers to the 17th October are arrived by the ship Carlisle—under the London head of October 11—there is an account of Gen. Clairfayt's having turned the right flank of the French army—and in consequence gained a considerable advantage over it.
The accounts from Brest via Boston, are to the 6th October from Paris—which is one day later than those heretofore received from that City.—If the latter are well founded, which is most probably the case, the London article is undoubtedly untrue.
Since our note in Saturday's Gazette we find, that by Art. 4, Sec. 7, of the Constitution of Georgia, "at the general election in 1794, each county shall appoint three persons to a convention. The question to be submitted them is, whether it is expedient to propose any amendments to the constitution. And unless two thirds shall meet and concur in the affirmative the constitution continues as it is."
Mr. Pherfon's blues are expected to arrive in town to-morrow.

In behalf of "the married ladies of America."
"The BARD" may justly Albion's daughters flight, Who, stifling nature's tenderest behests, And in harsh outrage on the infantile rights, Banish their helpless offspring from their breasts.
Not to the gentle, kind COLUMBIAN dame; She values much the calm domestic sphere: And when she gains the mother's baskered name, Fulfils the duties which that state endear, She lulls her infant "on her cradling arms,"
With fond solicitude and tender cares: Hangs, oft delighted, o'er its smiling charms, Feels all its joy, and all its sorrow shares.
For the sweet babe, "the snowy nectar" flows, To feed, to cherish, all her time employs, And to the mother's nurturing breast, it owes Its life and health, its sentiment and joys.
