As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delin- quent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may re- spectively be indebted—the sums are indi- vidually trifling—the want of the Aggre- gate is severely felt.

On a Robin Red Breast.
A Robin had taken up its abode in the Cathedral of Bristol, and for the space of 15 years usually perched on one of the pinnacles of the great organ during the time of Divine service, accompanying the solemnity with its harmonious strains, and so tame as to follow the organ to be fed. It continued its habitation till last winter, when it died. The following beautiful lines are the production of Mr. Samuel Love, minor Canon of the Cathedral:]
Sweet, social bird! whose soft harmonious lays, Swell the glad song of thy Creator's praise, Say, art thou conscious of approaching ills? Fell winter's storms, the pointed blast that kill? Shunn'st thou the savage North's unpeopling breath? Or cruel Man's more latent snares of death? Here, gentle bird, a sure asylum find, Nor dread the chilling frost, nor boiling wind. No hostile tyrant of the feather'd race, Shall dare invade thee in this hallow'd place; Nor, while he sails the liquid air along, Check the soft numbers of thy cheerful song. No cautious gunner, whose unerring light Grops the swift eagle in his rapid flight, Shall here disturb my lovely songster's rest, Nor wound the plumage of his crimson breast. The truant school boy, who, in wanton play, With vici'd lime involves the treacherous spray, In vain shall spread the wily snare for thee, Alike secure thy life and liberty. Peace then, sweet warbler, to thy fluttering heart, Defy the rage of hawks and toils of art; Now shake thy downy plumes, now gaudier pay The grateful tribute to each rising day; While crowds below, their willing voices raise, To sing with holy zeal Jehovah's praise, Thou, perch'd on high, shalt hear the adoring throng, Catch the warm strains, and aid the sacred song; Increase the solemn chorus, and inspire Each tongue with music, and each heart with fire.
WRITTEN, For the Anniversary of a MARINE SOCIETY.
WHAT is life but an ocean, precarious, as those Which surround this terraqueous ball? What is man but a bark, often laden with woes? What is death but the harbour of all? On our passage, to day may be mild and serene, And our "tens" canvass be shewn, While to morrow fierce tempests may blacken the scene, And our passage by the board may be gone. On life's rocky morn, with a prosperous breeze; We all our light sails may display. With a cloudless horizon may sweep at our ease, And of sorrow ne'er feel the salt spray; But, ere we have reach'd our meridian, the gale From the point of ill fortune may blow, And the sun of our being, all cheerless and pale, May set in the wild waves of woe. Experience, when bound o'er the turbulent waves, Remembers that ills may arise, And with sedulous care, ere the danger he braves, His bark with spare tackle supplies: So you on life's ocean, with provident minds, Have here a spare anchor secur'd, With which in despite of adversity's winds, The helpless may one day be moor'd. When the strong arm of winter uplifts the blue main, And snow storms and shipwrecks abound When hollow cheek'd famine inflicts her felt pain, And the swamp slings destruction around, When the folly of rulers embroils human kind, And myriads are rob'd of their breath This wick'd instruction may come o'er the mind, It may loosen the pillow of death. The poor widow's mourner, the fure prattling throng, And the veteran whose powers are no more, Shall here find an arm to defend them from wrong, And to chase meagre WANT from their door: This is temp'ring the wind to the lamb newly shorn,
This is following the ant's prudent ways, And, O bles't institution! the child yet unborn With rapture shall lift forth thy prais.

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 1.
The Conspiracy.
The sentence was yesterday pronounced by the Court Tribunal against those persons convicted of being implicated in the conspiracy of D'Armfelt, amidst the assemblage of an immense crowd of people. The reading of this sentence lasted three hours and an half. Baron D'Armfelt was declared outlawed, with the loss of his honor, and the confiscation of his property. Von Ehrenheim is sentenced to have his right hand cut off, and afterwards to be executed, with the loss of life and honor, and confiscation of his property. And Countess Rudenfeld is likewise sentenced to lose her life and honor, and her possessions to be confiscated.
As to the other accomplices, Col. Aminoff Forster, the Manager of the Opera, & the Valet of D'Armfelt, there was not sufficient evidence to convict them. The former, however, has not been acquitted: His trial has been referred to further examination. Mr. Von Franc, the Secretary of State and Post Director, Lieutenant Colonel Lilje, Sourros, Merchant, and Signeur, have been honorably acquitted. The first of these, however, in his quality of Director of the Post Office is to be tried before the Chancery for having committed some depredations respecting letters arrived by the post. There is no doubt but this judgement will undergo several alterations from the Supreme Tribunal.
Colonel Berg, Russian Chamberlain, and Majors Berg and Lirnow, arrived here from Peterburg. They are said to be charged with an important commission from the Court of Peterburg to ours; which likewise tends to prove the good understanding which reigns between the two Courts.
BRITISH ARMY.
Camp near Breda, August 15.
As to the operations going on here, from the very opposite manner of proceeding to that which we were accustomed to in the early part of the campaign, they would almost deceive one into the opinion, that we are actually at peace. It is by mere accident that we now hear of an enemy, their advanced posts, being at least twenty miles distant.
Yesterday, however, we were again put in mind of them by the public sale of thirty six horses, taken the other day at the out-posts, by a party of light horse, who surprised the piquet while most of their riders were absent, secured and brought off the horses, and killed five or six of the men. This was retaliating in some measure for the Dutch piquet lately surprised; to which may be added another, consisting of six emigrants, and as many black Linsars of the Dutch.
PARIS.
SOCIETY OF THE JACOBINS.
Sitting of the 11th Thermidor.
The sitting though short was distinguished by uncommon energy; the tribunes were not full, but were occupied by male and female citizens of these descriptions; and many were absent from not knowing that the club would hold a session this day.
Three representatives of the people, Billaud Varennes, Legendre, and Collot d'Herbois quitted for a while the hall of the Convention in order to reunite themselves with their brethren the Jacobins. The first announced that the conspiracies so lately discovered gave all good Republicans reason to rejoice in reiterated successes. Soon after the reporter from the committee of public safety appeared in the Tribune, and proclaimed the taking of Fort Lillo and Liege, which had been before declared in the Convention.
The orator requested the society not to prolong their sitting, but repair to the Convention where the report was to be read.
Legendre gave an account of his conduct on the night between the 9th and 10th, when the ci-devant Jacobins revolted against the National Representation. "I knew (said he) that the real Jacobins were not present at that sitting, and that those who at first attended had retired in disgust when a crowd of conspirators were introduced without having any tickets of admission; when the libertine decree of a rebellious commune was proposed to those conspirators, I addressed myself to ten men,
and asked them if they would follow me? The conspirators, said I, have re-paired to the hall of the Jacobins, and the sanctuary of freedom is thus infelicitously beset where crime is suffered to usurp the place of virtue; lay down your arms that you may be introduced: You have only to follow me. I have a brace of pistols with which I shall blow out the brains of the Counter-Revolutionist their President, and with my sabre in my hand I shall take the chair."
As we proceeded on the way, I met with a patrol commanded by a man of the name of Gerard, an agent of Robespierre. I asked the patrol where they were going? and was answered, to the national convention. You are rather slow, replied I; but do you know who you have got at the head of you? We know him to be Gerard, a worthy citizen! You know him not. He is a scoundrel. Arrest him.
"He was accordingly secured, and I delivered him to the care of Payan, representative of the people. We continued our march to the Jacobins, but the conspirators fled and dispersed, the sitting was closed, and the door remained open. I ordered the doors of the hall to be shut least the traitors should re-assemble, and rifle the records of the society. I took possession of these keys which I brought first to the assembly, and sent them to the Committee, that the hall should be open in future to real Jacobins only, and shut for ever to the admission of conspirators."
He then proceeded to disclose to the society an avowal given to them by the joint Committee of public safety and general security, not in their official characters, but as brother Jacobins. This contained a fraternal exhortation not to suffer themselves to be divided by private interests in their hall. "What signifies it," exclaimed the orator, "whether these places are occupied by the wife of a deputy, or a Jacobin, or the wife of any other citizen? We form a part of the people, and the greatest honor we can confer upon our wives, is to admit of no distinction."
Collot d'Herbois wished the club to consider this proposition of the committees as a simple invitation, and not an order, and urged the President to put the question for abolishing all privileged seats, which only contributed to intrigues, and to forward private purposes, at the same time, that equality forbade those seats to be kept empty, and waiting for their visitors, while Citizens, bleeding in the service of their country, were obliged to remain at the doors.
This proposition was unanimously decreed.
A citizen denounced from the Tribune a member of the society, who acted as secretary during the nights of the 9th and 10th, and who proposed libertine measures against him for announcing the death of the conspirators.
Billaud Varennes and Collot d'Herbois entered successively into details which served to develop the late monstrous conspiracy.
The empire was to have been divided among the triumvirate. A. Couthon was to have been monarch to the South, Lepidus St. Just was to reign in the north, and Catiline Robespierre to be sovereign of the center.
The Committee got much information from a letter written by a member of the English Parliament. This person, pretending that he came to France, unable to bear any longer the despotism of his own country, yet always introduced into his conversation the Aristocrats of England, without deigning to take notice of the Sans Culottes members of Opposition. Robespierre protected him, represented him as a good citizen, and succeeded in obtaining for him a passport to travel into Switzerland, or return to England, where he was to have established a republic. In a letter from this gentleman to Robespierre were discovered counter-revolutionary sentiments, recommending the restoration of the privileged orders, and not to place the Sans Culottes upon a level with the nobility.
By the report of a deserter, it appeared that the Coalesced Powers were in a league with Robespierre, and would treat with no other person.
"What a warning is this, (exclaimed Billaud Varennes) to the French people never to yield themselves to the power of such idols. You have been successively the victims of La Fayette, Brissot, and innumerable other conspirators. Remember that the existence of liberty does not hang upon any individual, though an individual may easily be the destroyer of liberty. Rally round the Convention, which in the stormy season has displayed the grandeur of its character. It will never shew mercy to conspirators, and virtue shall always be the basis of its conduct."
Two hours after midnight, on the
29th Thermidor, when Robespierre was declared in a state of arrestation, the keepers of the prisons had directions to receive no persons but by the orders of the Commune. This fact, Legendre said, was discovered by means of a Police Commissary, who took a man to prison; and instead of the usual receipt, only got an answer to the aforesaid effect. The charge has been made out, and is to be submitted to the Committee.
A member proposed that the Society of Jacobins should present themselves en masse before the National Convention, to congratulate them on their triumph over the oppressors of the country.
Collot d'Herbois supported this motion, but wished the visit to be deferred till the next sitting when the concourse of patriots would be greater, and the diffusion of joy more universal. He then entered upon an eloquent description of the solidity which Liberty had now acquired in France, where conspiracy and ambition were the roads to speedy death; where the will of a nation must be consulted, and tyrants could not depend on the corruption of an individual. Woe to the ambitious! They are Colossuses or Monstres; but the Colossus is overturned, and the Monster is destroyed by the invincible arm of Liberty. Frenchmen shall form one family, from the bosom of which shall the wretch be chased who is not in love with Liberty. We are all brothers. The Jacobins are the Convention, the Convention is the people, and that association will give eternity to their freedom!
The proposal for visiting the Convention en masse was agreed to, and the procession is to take place at 9 o'clock in the evening.
On the motion of Collot d'Herbois, the tickets of admission were ordered to be renewed.
WARSAW, June 18.
The Supreme council has published an ordinance of the generalissimo Kosciusko, enjoining the armed national force to penetrate into the enemies countries in these terms:
THADEUS KOSCIUSKO,
Commander in Chief of the armed Powers
"AS the troops of the King of Prussia are now in open alliance with the Russians against this nation; as they have already passed those frontiers even which the usurpers designed to us; and as they rob us of the country incontestibly our own; in fine as our country finds itself exposed to the inhuman violences of the enemy in this war, undertaken by us in defence of our liberty, our integrality and independence; it becomes us so much the more to give another direction to the armed force of our nation—In consequence I give orders by the present writing to all commanders of the regular troops, to penetrate immediately beyond the frontiers, arrogated by Prussia, and Russia and to publish there the insurrection of the Poles and to animate the people, abashed by the yoke of slavery, to ally themselves with us, and to rise against their oppressors."
As I have already ordered a requisition of a general levy in Poland and Lithuania; by the present, I order all the commanders to penetrate immediately with the volunteers under their command or with those peasants who can find means to escape from the tyranny of their lords, into the countries taken from Poland, and to advance even into those which have been more anciently possessed by Prussia and Russia, and to assist the inhabitants who are desirous of regaining the liberty of their country.
I recommend it to all those commanders to conduct themselves as brothers with all those who are willing to second our efforts, having no other end but their happiness. Nothing is to be regarded as a legitimate booty but what belongs either to Russia or Prussia. I declare in the name of the nation, which now rises against usurping and tyrannic force punishes the traitors to their country, and which will recompense all faithful citizens and courageous defenders of their country, that she assures to every chief, to every commander of the national force, and of the general levy, in recompense for their future services, the national property and possessions which the nation will confiscate upon all traitors to their country. As in fine, the happy success of their enterprise depends particularly upon its prompt execution, I charge all the commanders to transfer the war as soon as possible, into the abovementioned countries. This may the more easily be effected, as by the enemy's force having entered into our country, the greatest part of their
own neighbouring territories remains without defence, inasmuch, that in some places there are but few troops remaining and in others none at all.
Given at our camp at Kielec, June 10th, 1796.
(Signed) T. KOSCIUSKO.
LONDON, August 12.
The French seem to have let the opportunity pass of attacking Holland with any certainty of success—their late delay we cannot account for, however, in consequence of it the Dutch frontier has been rendered impenetrable.
It continues still to be believed in the British Camp, that Pichegru has been superceded in his command of the Northern army, being considered as a creature of Robespierre—the direct charge however against him is said to be that of not having followed up his late advantages with sufficient spirit.
We are rather inclined to doubt the above statement, as it does not appear by any of the Parisian accounts, that about a fortnight since any blame had been attached to his character.
Some accounts, via Germany, speak of the falling of the Spanish Admiral Langara, with a fleet of thirteen sail of the line, and several frigates, to assist in capturing or in destroying the French squadron in the bay of St. John, in the Mediterranean.
A few days ago a poor barber was apprehended in his shop and taken before a Magistrate upon strong suspicion of being disaffected to his Majesty's person and government, and concerned with divers in attempting to introduce into this kingdom, French principles and practices.
The principal charge against the poor knight of the razor was that he had caused to be painted upon his shop window the following words: Citizen barber, shave well for a penny.
It was clearly proved in the course of the examination that the prisoner's name was John Citizen. In consequence of which, he was discharged with a recommendation from the worthy Magistrate, to call himself by some other name till the French are conquered.
COWES, August 20.
This morning at eight the troops for Dublin, under convoy of the Triton, failed, as did the troops for Guernsey under convoy of the Hinde frigate; when they came near Yarmouth the wind shifted to the S. W. The Dublin convoy came to an anchor in Yarmouth Road, and the ship destined for Guernsey returned to Cowes, where they came to an anchor at half past one.
Yesterday, and not before the 31st, 34th, and 79th regiments embarked at Southampton. The destination is kept a secret: some speak of their going to Holland, and some to the West-Indies.
Yesterday the 84th marched into Southampton: the 85th and 100th, or Marquis of Huntley's, were expected to embark at Southampton this day.
PORTSMOUTH, August 21.
The undermentioned ships forming the van division of the Grand Fleet, this day weighed at Spithead, and dropped down to St. Helena, viz.
  Queen 98 { Ad. Sir Allan Gardner, Capt. Bedford,   Impregnable 90 { Admiral Caldwell, Captain Westcott,   Culloden 74 { Ad. Sir Tho. Rich, Captain Schomberg,   Barfleur 98 { Adm. Elphinstone, Capt. Elphinstone,   Glory 98 { Beumierster,   Invincible 74 { Pakenham,   Majestic 74 { Cotton,   Venerable 74 { Sir John Orde,   Arrogant 74 { Whitshed. 
The other part of the Fleet, and the Portuguese men of war, which are going under Lord Howe's flag, will go down to St. Helen's to-morrow, and will sail, it is reported, on Sunday next.
We are sorry that Admiral Murray's having captured a fleet of French Merchant ships is generally discredited.
FLUSHING.
Of the armies—the latest.
Wednesday, August 20, 1794.
A boat arrived here last night from Sluys, with an officer on board, who brings the agreeable intelligence of the Commandment and Garrison being all in the highest spirits, and under no fears for the safety of the place. The works are very little injured; and the greatest damage is among the houses, which are very much battered.
Owing to the inundation, which effectually prevent the French from approaching within musket-shot, and the advantageous and commanding position of the ramparts, The Dutch have not yet lost more than between thirty and forty men, killed and wounded.
They have ammunition for six weeks longer, and provisions for three months.
The casemates are all of bomb-proof—Water, which they at first dreaded a want of, is in abundance from the late heavy

rains which have favored the besieged very much, and greatly harassed and distressed the French whose Infantry are obliged to stand up to the knee in water, and their Cavalry immersed in the mud. Such are the accounts given by the officer of the Dutch Admiral at this port, who immediately sent the accounts off express to the Hague.
The French dreading a disembarkation at Cadiz, are busily employed in constructing batteries on the coast. They frequently fire at the ships, but to no purpose; the distance is too great for the balls to do any execution.
HAGUE, August 15
The most important intelligence of the day is, that the Allied Powers are at length going to recognize Monsieur , Regent of the kingdom of France—to raise him an army composed of all the French Emigrants, and that England will refuse the asylum she has hitherto bestowed, to such as may refuse to serve.
The death of Robespierre has revived the hopes of the Emigrants. They think themselves already in France. The downfall of contending factions proves to me that nations might with security treat with the Convention, whose authority alone is permanent, which contains in fact the sentiments and the energy of the French people.
BOIS LE DUC, August 11.
The preparations now making here for a vigorous defence, in case of a siege, are great and unremitted.
HALIFAX, Sept. 13.
The Pigeon's Cargo was advertised for Sale on the 10th inst. As neither the Captors or Claimants would accept the Bill offered by each other, our worshipful Judge determined to sport the Cargo at Auction; The appraised value is 21,000: our Currency; It is true the persons offered as Bail by the Claimant's Attorneys were some of the best People in the Province, but the Captors appeared determined to accept none that could be offered; and, in the usual phrase to make "Ducks and Drakes," with the cargo at all events.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, Oct. 14.
Yesterday arrived here ship Mary, Captain Stephen Ham, in 60 days from London. Capt. Ham was boarded by the French frigate Proserpine, on his passage, who took out of his vessel 20 English passengers that were on board, with all the property they could find belonging to them; what they could not conveniently get on board, they threw overboard!
NEW-YORK, October 17.
The present governing party in France say the same hard things of Robespierre, as Robespierre did of Danton and Hebert; as these did of Brissot and Roland; and as all those parties did of La Fayette and Dumourier—traitors, conspirators, villains,—no name is harsh enough to describe the fallen men.
We are told by our Jacobins that there are very few crimes committed in France at the present period—steal and robbery are said scarcely to exist in that country—and this is alleged as a proof of the goodness of morals in the French nation. The truth is the French were never addicted to the crimes of theft and robbery. Under the old government a traveller might leave his baggage in the bar-room of an inn, without danger of losing any part of it. But France abounded with crimes of other kinds.
There is however another circumstance that deserves notice. The common idlers and rogues of that nation are mostly employed in the army; where their morals are kept well disciplined. Besides the existence of a new and general crime, that of anticiaism, or opposition to the present government, seems like Aarons Serpent, to have swallowed up the rest. It is like the yellow fever in disease, as described by Sydenham and Rush; wherever it prevails, it expels or absorbs all smaller crimes. This idea is not merely ludicrous.
It is natural that when the passions of men are all directed to one point, that one object should engross the minds of the nation—the pursuit of that object should constitute the highest virtue—neglect or opposition to that pursuit, the most odious crime—and the vicious hearts of a nation find ample employment in punishing that common crime. All the most odious crime. All the furious passions, the pride, the envy, the avarice, the hatred of the French may now find occupation, in assisting the aristocrats and punishing treason. When the distinction of patriots and traitors shall no longer exist, then the punishment and extermination of bad men will no longer furnish food for the vicious passions, which of consequence will have recourse for gratification, to the various crimes which infest all other countries.
Were we however to believe the triumphant party in the Convention, we should find that France abounds with crimes. After one faction has taken off another, the victorious patriots spend a week or two in detailing the crimes of the late tyrants. When La Fayette
was driven from his army, his enemies were busy in recapitulating his crimes—they have not yet finished the catalogue.—After Dumourier's flight, the same duty was, and is repeated.
Brissot and his party were, according to Robespierre and Danton, the vilest and most monstrous in existence. No sooner was this faction crushed, than Hebert, the blasphemer, the atheist was denounced, and fell under the axe for attempting to reject a God from the national creed. No sooner was Hebert gone, than Danton was a villain, an atheist and a speculator. Danton falls and all is quiet. Robespierre and his party pretended the Convention was thoroughly purged of villains. The calm lasted near three months—a most surprising length of time! Then the storm thickens and bursts upon the head of Robespierre—this immaculate patriot is suddenly converted into a Despot—a monster of wickedness; and he with fifty or a hundred accomplices is tumbed into the grave. Now the players, Tallien and Collot d'Herbois, have copious subjects for their theatrical eloquence; such a catalogue of crimes is detected against Robespierre, as would make even a Revolutionist shudder! Now again the Convention is purified of traitors—perhaps for a month, or two at farthest!
Whatever then be the state of the yeomanry, if we believe the Convention, their leaders hitherto have been the worst men that ever disgraced human nature.
The real truth probably, is, that the Convention are all like other men, and very much alike in their views. But they differ in their opinions as to public measures; and not possessing a spirit of conciliation, each party are determined to take off the other. Then commences a secret war, and intrigues with the populace of Paris; and that party which is supported by the populace of that great city always succeeds. This is the state of the whole business.

PHILADELPHIA,
OCTOBER 21.
From Mr. Brown's Philadelphia gazette of Last Evening!
"We have long been accustomed, in this country, to copy the Debates in the British Parliament. The Editors, on that side of the water, begin to repay this compliment, by transcribing whole pages of the Debates in Congress last session, taken down for, and published in the Philadelphia Gazette."
From a New York Paper.
"The hall of the Jacobins in Paris, having been found equally inimical to the liberty of the people, as the Bastille, their assembly hath been dispersed, and the key deposited with the convention. This Trophy, of a new conquest over tyranny, will be sent to the celebrated WASHINGTON, accompanied by a request to place it beside that of the Bastille.—And from thence to learn that the despotism of Jacobin Clubs, wherever instituted, is not excelled by the despotism of absolute monarchy."

MILAN, July 21.
The French have advanced to Borgo, within a few miles of Coni, where the Piedmontese have an entrenched camp. If the French should drive them from this important post, they may leave a detachment to mask Coni, the siege of which would be tedious, and march with the rest of their army to the gates of Turin. We are assured that the Republicans are under the walls of Suza, where the Piedmontese are entrenched. As we do not hear that they have taken the fort of La Brunette, which defends the pass of Suza, we suppose that they have made themselves a new road over the mountains.
The situation of Piedmont is most critical. The French seem ready to penetrate by three or four points, into the heart of the country. A considerable number of militia is raising to oppose them, a description of troops of the line; but we fear the Piedmontese must will not be found a match for the French mass. We recollect also, that Savoy, Nice, and part of Piedmont, are already in the hands of the French, so that the King of Sardinia is deprived of a great part of his resources.
From Genoa, we are informed that the French have asked leave to pass into Lombardy, through the territory of the Republic. Although the Genoese appear to be strongly attached to their system of neutrality, it is to be apprehended that the French may take mea-
suures to make them comply with their demand. The Genoese Republic is in a great state of defence, but it cannot repel force by force, if the French go to extremities, unless the whole body of the people act in concert with the government. The late victories of the French have diffused such a terror throughout Italy, that the Genoese will hardly venture to expose their country to the chance of war.

On Saturday 11th inst. departed this life Mrs. Anne Dowdall, wife of Walter Dowdall, Esq. of Croton-River, and niece of the late Sir William Johnson, Bart.
ALBANY, Oct. 16.
By a gentleman of respectability from Canandarque we learn, that Col. Pickering arrived at that place, on the 16th of Sept. for the purpose of holding a treaty with the Six Nations; that the Indians had not yet come in, but that they were within 30 miles of that place when he came away.
It was supposed the late defeat of the western Indians would change materially the tone of these Indians at the ensuing treaty.
The article in our last, that Lt. Sheaff did not return according to promise, to the Great Sodus, is in part erroneous.—He did return and personally delivered to Capt. Williamson, a protest against his settling at that place. This protest was marked No. 1.
BOSTON, Oct. 15.
Capt. Russel arrived here from Russia spoke 3 French 40 gun frigates off the banks of Newfoundland, who had taken three prizes, and were on a cruise; after which they intended sailing for Boston or New-York.
The cartel ship, for France, will sail in a few days. Near 200 men, women and children, will take passage in her. She has a flag of truce, she will not be molested.
Arrived at ship Delight, Captain Bridges, from Liverpool, who spoke the following vessels: Sept. 17th, long. 42, W. and lat. 43; 37, N. the brig Independence, of New London, with passengers from Sligo for New-York. On the 20th, he spoke ship Active, Colden, from Liverpool for New-York—and parted with her the 1st inst. in long. 55, 42, W. and lat. 41, 24, N. all well, wind north. On the 25th Sept. the ship Fair American, Hathaway, from St. Eustatia for Amsterdam, lat. 41, 41, N. long. 47, 41, W. all well. Passengers per the Delight, Mr. Schofield, and Mr. Roylance.
BALTIMORE, October 17.
Yesterday arrived Captain Joseph White who left Port-au-Prince on the 26th ult.—From his logbook, we have taken the following extract:
Friday, October 10, in lat. 35, 20 long. 74, 37, per observation, at half past two, A. M. fell in with the Schooner Molly, of New-York, John Leonora, master, five days out, bound to Charleston, who sprung a leak on the morning of the 8th inst. on the edge of Hatteras Shoals, in a violent gale of wind at N. N. E.—By means of cutting away his main-mast, and throwing over board about one third of his cargo, (consisting of about 3700 bushels of Indian corn) they were enabled to keep her from totally sinking, until we
had the happiness of having it in our power to relieve the exhausted crew, by taking them out of the vessel, which, to all appearance, sunk shortly after, the sea making a continual break over her.
Captain Aitchins, who left Curacoa about three weeks ago, says, that he was there informed, the British troops had taken possession of jacquetel.
October 18.
The ship Camilla, Captain Robert Service, of New-York, arrived in this port yesterday, from Liverpool. On his passage, Captain Service spoke the ship Industry,—Redmond, master, bound up James River, which left London about the 4th September, the passengers on board of her reported, that the French were at Breda, and the people of England hourly expected the intelligence of their arrival at Rotterdam; further, that the apparent disposition of the British ministry was in favor of prosecuting the war.
PETERSBURGH, Oct. 14.
A gentleman arrived in this town in fourteen days from Kentucky, informs us, that a part of the mounted volunteers, that lately went from that state, under the command of Major Whitley, on an expedition against the Cherokees and Chickamaugas, had returned, and reported that they had effected the object of their expedition, having destroyed three Indian towns, about 2000 acres of corn, and took 70 scalps and 14 prisoners; with a loss on the part of the volunteers of only 3 men wounded.
The same gentleman also informs us, that the General Assembly of that state, are to meet in November next—when it is expected that the law laying a tax upon lands, will be reconsidered and amended.

SALEM, Oct. 14.
Capt. Henry Williams arrived since our last from Trinidad, via St. Eustatia. He informs, that while he was selling his cargo there, 2500 barrels flour and 600 do. beef arrived, with fish in abundance, which had glutted the market so much, there was no selling at any rate. Fish at 2 and 1-2 dols. Capt. Williams left Eustatia the 5th September, whose inhabitants were much alarmed at the prodigious number of French emigrants, that were continually pouring in upon them, and had armed for their security, keeping a night patrol. All the Dutch and English vessels had left St. Kitts and St. Eustatia, on the account of the hurricane months.
Captain Bickford, from L'Archahe, Hispaniola, brought with him the crew, 15 in number, and some sails, rigging, and merchandise of the ship Grefson, of Hage of Stockholm, burthen 400 tons, Peter Wathum master, from St. Marc, bound to Baltimore, which was wrecked on the Henega Reef, the 25th August, laden with 400 hogheads sugar and coffee, and about 3000 hides.
Capt. Hodges arrived yesterday from St. Lucia, in 30 days. He informs that the Mulattoes and Negroes from the country were attacked by the British about 15 miles from the town. The Capt. and Lieutenant of the British troops were wounded, and a number of soldiers killed. The Mulattoes amounted to above 300, and retain their position. Two French vessels were cruising off St. Lucia, and had taken in about a week, 22 sail of English vessels, bound in there.
EXTRACT.
It has often been objected to republican systems, that they too frequently allow violations of the laws to go unpunished—that an intriguing ambitious man will often be able to overlet the government; and of course that there is no medium between Despotism and Anarchy. If these principles are established by the conduct of our citizens, the progress of liberty beyond the Atlantic, will be sensibly checked. If the enemies of peace and our happy constitution should form a majority in our Councils, which may Heaven ever avert! foreigners who wish to support order, will continue under their princes at home, and none will settle in this country, but those who are regardless of every civil obligation; the refuse of Europe will swarm on our shores, the mild reign of Government and Law, of Justice and Order, in America will cease, and licentiousness, bloodshed and murder, will draw forth the punishing hand of avenging Heaven, and this fair seat of liberty will sink into the abyss of misery and disgrace.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 17.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Baltimore, dated 20th October 1794.
By the Barque Apollo, Captain Magruder, who arrived here yesterday in 45 days from Brest, advice is received of the safe arrival in Paris, of Mr. Monroe, &c. &c. all well: That the French vessels of war were uncommonly successful in taking prizes; that the fleet in Brest consisted of near 50 sail of the line, and nearly as many frigates—That the French were in high spirits, and very fortunate in all their expeditions; that numbers of American vessels had arrived, and were daily arriving with flour, for which they were paid with dispatch & punctuality in I o'ars.
The Apollo has brought back Dollars for her cargo, and has only been three months and one day, from Cape Henry to France and back.
The Death of Robespierre, is confirmed, and appears to be universally approved.

Select Stories, For the instruction and amusement of Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin
Extract from the Preface. "To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile; a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing child en, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem. "Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. 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 shrewd 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 Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valuable substitute (where such may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author." At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be had the following

R. S. Embellished with striking likenesses of that Citizen of the World. By JOHN AIKEN, M. D. To which is subjoined an ODE inscribed to John Howard, by William Hayley, Esq.
FROM realm to realm, with crows or crescent 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 steep to dungeons dank, Where anguish swells aloud, and fetters clank: To caves bespread with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, where sole echoes only learn to groan; —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retires, And mur'm'ring demons bate him, and admire. Sept. 1 31aw2w 1awtf.

To the Public.
A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia.
WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance.
The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's:
The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church.
As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, they being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
