STRICURES on a publication, entitled "Fea-tures of Mr. Jay's Treaty, from a S.C. paper."
[CONTINUED.] The writer of the distortions proceeds to alarm the citizens of the United States with a thousand chimeras: "What with the establishment of British colonies and British warehouses, the naturalization of British land holders, and the unqualified admission of British subjects," he assures us that "an American will hardly be able to find elbow room for himself and family: our merchants will dwindle to clerks, our husbandmen will degenerate into the condition of the feudal villenage, and in a short course of years America will probably exhibit the astonishing spectacle of a country, possessed, cultivated and enjoyed by aliens." All this wonderful operation is to be brought about, by suffering a few Canadian settlers to reside near the polls, and permitting those British subjects only who now hold lands in the United States to continue to hold them! Is it possible that this alarmist could have had so contemptible an idea of our citizens, as to address such trash to their understandings? He seems to think that the epithet British, which he so liberally employs, carries along with it at once terror and conviction. It is surprising he omitted, in his enumeration, the British manufactures with which we are clothed; it is equally surprising, that in expressing his terrors about the Mississippi, he forgot that the joint right of navigating that river is secured by the former treaty of 1783; and that in trembling at the consequence of permitting only those British subjects who now hold lands to continue to hold them, he forgot the right which the French have by treaty to hold lands, without limitation.
The feudal villenage he so feelingly deprecates exists already, but fortunately only in a part of America, to its shame, to which that alarmist is supposed to be warmly attached: in a state which boasts of its pre-eminent love for liberty, and of its almost exclusive title to patriotism, we still find the degrading relicts of the feudal system, an exemption of land from the payment of debts, and the exclusive rights of citizenship vested in landholders.
This writer betrays too plainly, his views and connections, by his sympathy for the self created societies, (now abolished even in France) and his aversion to what he calls city cohorts and pretorian bands: thus vainly attempting to stigmatize those valuable associations of worthy citizens, who have done so much honor to true republicanism by their support to their government and laws against the parochial attacks of the factious.
The treaty, he tells us, is "to rejudge the solemn judgements of our courts of justice." Can he have read the treaty? It expressly confines the commissioners to cases, to which the ordinary course of judicial proceedings cannot extend: it is expressly limited to cases of insolvency, occasioned by legislative acts, and has no reference to judicial determination.
"It condemns, he tells us, individuals to the payment of debts from which they had previously been discharged by law," another glaring distortion. The United States are to pay, not individuals, in cases of individual insolvency: but as falsehood generally refutes itself, so, we are told by him, in the very next sentence, that "the treaty makes the government of the union responsible for the contracts of private citizens, and the defalcations of bankrupts:" in one sentence, individuals are to pay; in the next, the government of the union. Does he mean the same debts? The treaty preferses but one rule.
The treaty, he says, restrains the use of our staple commodities: what is meant by this? The 12th article is the only part to which he can refer, which was never intended to include American cotton; and that clause is not ratified! Jumbling together his farago of fanciful mousters, the alarmist exclaims that "the mind is shocked with an apprehension that the ratification of the treaty may be the death warrant of the union;" thus former gloomy croakers foreboded the death warrant of our liberties in the adoption of the federal constitution, in the passing the excise law, and other acts, which, in spite of malignant predictions, our union and our liberties have yet survived.
But the great and strong argument of the Alarmist, is, that the treaty and the constitution of the United States are at war with each other: now this circumstance, one would suppose, instead of alarming, ought to convey to him the highest gratification, for, in that case, the treaty must be null and void:—whatever is at war with the constitution must yield to it, that being paramount. It is however curious to follow the strange contradictions between this writer and himself, and between himself and other writers of the same stamp. If the treaty be so clearly repugnant to the constitution from beginning to end, as he pretends to demonstrate, what necessity was there for his endless catalogue of abominations contained in it: he had only to prove its unconstitutionality, and the business was done: his acting otherwise is a contradiction of his own doctrine. Other alarmists, in opposition to this writer, have exclaimed, "beware of the impending treaty, for it is not like a common act of legislation which can be repealed at our will; when ratified it is the supreme law of the land, from the constitution, and cannot be altered but by war, or the consent of the other party to it." This writer asserts, confidently, that congress alone can, "by the constitution, make a treaty, because it is a legislative act." Other opposition writers complain of the constitution, for having vested the treaty-making power in the President and Senate. They cannot all be right. A very slight examination of the subject will exhibit the fallacy of this writer's doctrine and the sophistry of his deductions.
A government, he says, "may be changed in its essence without being subverted in its forms: governments have too generally proved to be a kind of political chrysalis, passing from the grub of pure democracy to the butterfly of absolute monarchy." By the terms of the simile, one might conclude that he meant a satire on pure democracy, and a panegyric on monarchy, though it is more probable that his habits and connexions may have suggested an expression, which is as infuking to demo-
cracy as the simile itself is absurd and inapplicable to these states: as insulting to the understandings and character of Americans is it, to compare the ignorant and enslaved vassals of Poland to the free and enlightened citizens of this country, who know their rights, and have capacity to discern their true interests lie between the extremes of licentiousness and a government uncontrolled by constitutional restrictions.
After a verbose exordium on the character of a limited government, he flatters a case, which proves at once an ignorance of the federal constitution. In his endeavour to show that the treaty-making power, as he terms it, cannot be paramount to a legislative act, he asks the following ridiculous question: "Can the Senate and President propose an amendment, by way of treaty, to the constitution? And if they can, in this way, originate, might they not effectuate alterations in the fundamental points of our government, and make in fact a new constitution?" It is almost incredible that such absurdities should escape the pen of a man, who professes to write gravely on constitutional points. What connexion is there between the power of making treaties and that of proposing amendments to the constitution? The one is expressly vested in the President and two thirds of the Senate; the other, as expressly, in two thirds of both houses of Congress: In the one case, the House of Representatives has no agency; in the other, the President has none: In the former, the act is final; in the other, it only recommends to other authorities, who are to decide. What opinion must this writer have entertained of the intellects of his readers, when he asked this question? And what opinion must they entertain of his deligns, when they read it?
He proceeds to inform us that, by the constitution, congress is empowered to borrow money—"Suppose," says he, "it was deemed expedient to subsidize Portugal, instead of building frigates, could two thirds of the Senate and the President either borrow or guarantee a loan for that purpose by treaty?" In answering in the affirmative, I will quote him an authority which I know he will assert to without difficulty. When the proposal for building the frigates was made in Congress, Mr. Madison, who objected to it, as an inefficient measure, recommended that the President and Senate should negotiate with Portugal and subsidize her for the protection of our trade from the Algerines, which could only be done by borrowing or guaranteeing a loan for that purpose, as there was at that time so little money in the treasury that a loan was necessary to carry on the ordinary operations of the government.
Proceeding in his suppositions, he makes another more extravagant, if possible, than the foregoing. "By the constitution the importation of certain persons shall not be prohibited by Congress prior to the year 1808: But suppose Mr. Wilberforce had negotiated, instead of Lord Grenville, and had made the prohibition of such importation in the year 1808 a sine qua non, could the President and Senate admit the stipulation by treaty?" This is, could they admit by treaty what is expressly forbid by the constitution? Their power of making treaties being derived alone from that instrument, how could they act in direct opposition to it? A treaty, like a law, must be conformable to the constitution to be binding; every part repugnant to it, is a dead letter. As well might he ask, whether the President and Senate can regulate by treaty that the citizens of America shall eat but one meal a day? Such reasoning may suit the meridian of Pittsburgh, but it must excite the contempt or derision of every rational citizen. (To be continued.)
Philadelphia, November 23, 1795.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
By the Ann & Mary, Captain Eggar, from London, we have been favored with a series of Papers in September, from which the following articles (not before published here) are copied:
LONDON, September 15. In a matter which so nearly regards the public tranquility, we think it our particular duty to notice the reports which have been so generally circulated through the country by disaffected persons, that the several regiments which have lately appeared in a state of mutiny on being ordered on Foreign service, were enlisted under an express stipulation of not serving abroad.
We have made very particular enquiry into the truth of this report, which, if true, would have merited the most severe animadversions against the officers who could enlist men under false pretences. The late mutiny at Cork has been mentioned as a particular instance of the soldiers having been thus trepanned; but we state from the first authority, that in the letters of service for raising the 105th and 113th regiments, it is expressly stipulated, that their recruits should be engaged without any limitation as to the period or place of their service. The like stipulation has been made in regard to every other corps which has been draughted.
After this public declaration, we trust we shall hear no more animadversions of this nature against Government, as they can have no other view than to promote disaffection and confusion.
The 25,000 troops which are now under orders for the West Indies, are not more than sufficient for the great purposes for which they are intended. Sir Ralph Abercrombie is to reside at Martinique, and have the conduct of the affairs of the Windward Islands, and also to undertake the re-capture of Guadalupe and St. Lucia; the conquest of St. Domingo will belong to a separate command, wholly distinct from that of Sir R. Abercrombie. A much larger force must now be apportioned to the latter service than was at first thought of; for decided not to permit the Spaniards to fulfil that part of their late treaty with the French, which stipulates to retain their portion of St. Domingo, until the French are in a situation to take possession of it. The Spaniards having stipulated to cede their interest in the Island to the French, it naturally fol-
lows, according to every principle of the law of nations, that at the expiration of the term fixed on for the cession, it becomes an enemy's country, which we have a most undoubted right to attack.
It was intended that Gen. O'Hara should have the command at St. Domingo; but as he is not yet regularly exchanged, he cannot be employed. It was yesterday reported that six of the mutineers at Cork, who were tried by a Court martial, have been sentenced to be shot.
The Captain of an American vessel, arrived at Clyde, from Lisbon, informs, that on his voyage he was brought to by two French frigates, conveying three large Brazilian merchantmen, richly loaded, steering for the port of Brest.
According to authentic letters from Vannes written by Gentlemen who were made prisoners at Quiberon, it seems certain, that the slaughter of those unfortunate men has not been so general as was first announced in the Paris Papers. The unfortunate Sombreuil, and 13 or 14 of his principal officers; and the Bishop of Dol and about the same number of priests, are the only prisoners who have been shot; and these murders were permitted pursuant to the orders given by Talien before he let out for Paris. But these assassinations made so strong an impression upon the inhabitants of Vannes, that the Convention did not dare to shoot any more. Several prisoners have escaped from their keepers and joined the Chouans, and the rest remain confined at Vannes, but are very kindly treated by the inhabitants.
It is certain that M. de Puifaye, with four of five other officers, has re-entered Morbihan, and conveyed succours to the Chouans. As he has to atone for great faults, some great effort may be expected from him.
Paris, which has hitherto been the centre of the Revolution, and whose motions, it has been imagined, have in general determined that of the whole nation—Paris declares against the Convention; all communication is cut off between the Citizens and the armies posted round them as a guard, and who as yet remain firm to their masters by whom they are fed; but whom they may, in a moment hurl to their pristine insignificance, or bring to their deserved punishment.
The "Gazette Francoise" makes the following remarks on the renewal of the decree against emigrants: "Could it be possibly expected that a constitution designed to become one day the Gospel of Frenchmen and the universal pledge of mutual reconciliation, should be stained by so barbarous, so immoral, and so unjust a measure? In the records of all civilized nations we seek, in vain, after an instance, that the proscription of a part of their fellow citizens has ever been made a fundamental law of the state. We shall not attempt to justify such Frenchmen as have emigrated since the 2d of September, 1792; the unanimous voice of all French citizens, whose minds are not deranged, nor their hearts dried up by tyranny, call them back into their native land. It has been proved, that these unfortunate people can neither be more guilty than the pretended Federalists, so justly recalled, nor more criminal than we are, who so cowardly have bent our necks under the yoke of despotism, and deserve less reproaches than those who approved and decreed the oppression of France, or suffered this outrage to be committed. Let therefore this article, which so evidently clashes with all true principles, be erased from the Constitution, and if we persist to be unjust, let us at least for decency's sake assume the appearance, as if we did not know it."
Berg belongs to the Elector Palatine. Dusseldorf is the capital town, which has lately been considerably strengthened and fortified. It is 20 English miles from Cologne, and the only considerable place on the right bank of the Rhine, from Holland to Manheim. The river is about the width of the Thames at Chelsea, but not very deep, especially in summer. An historian speaking of Neuss, which is exactly opposite to Dusseldorf, notices an extraordinary shallowness of the Rhine in that neighbourhood.
The following officers are appointed to attend the expedition to the West-Indies, under the command of Sir Ralph Abercrombie: Major-Generals Hunter, Campbell, F. Dundas, Graham, H. Piggett, and Morhead.
The late King of Prussia used to express his contempt of the Philosophers of his time, by saying, that if he wished to inflict some extraordinary plague upon any province, he would place it under the government of Philosophers. This severe judgment, however, Frederick principally aimed against Voltaire and other French Writers, with whose principles the unbelieving Prince was more familiarly conversant, than with true philosophy.
The grand match of Cricket, for one thousand guineas, between Kent and All England, was some days since terminated at Dandelion, in favour of Kent.
A twig of the law, lately, in Cornwall, left the quill for an instrument sometimes less offensive—the gun. In a word, he became a fenceile; when, being incorporated in the ranks on a field-day, and ordered to charge, he instantly whipped out his pocket-book, and put down 6s. 8d.
On comparing the report made by Robert, and inserted in this day's Paper, with the late advice of the German Empire, touching the negotiations for Peace with France, it seems evident, that a Peace between Germany and the French Republic is obstructed by almost insurmountable obstacles. The Advice of the Empire insists on the integrity of the Empire being made the basis of the intended negotiations; and the above report, on the contrary, proposes, that that part of the German Empire, which is situated on the left banks of the Rhine, shall be torn from it, and incorporated with France.
To conciliate this ambitious project of France with the honour of the Empire is an arduous task, and in all probability the chance of war will alone be able to decide this momentous point. In order to bring it to an issue, the French have at length effected the long announced passage of the Rhine; but the Austrians will, no doubt, exert their utmost efforts to make them repent of their hazardous enterprise, which succeeds alone can justify; and the smallest check must render it highly pernicious to the Republicans.

One of the greatest advantages which, according to Robertjot's opinion, the Republic is to derive from this extension of its territory, is this, that the navigation on the Rhine, Meuse, and Scheldt, being thus secured to France, the English will be deprived of a considerable branch of their commerce. But ought we not to suppose, that for this very reason, our Government will use its utmost endeavours to frustrate the execution of that project; and, in concert with the Emperor, drive the French back behind their former limits. A peace, if concluded according to Robertjot's project, would be far more dangerous for this country and the British commerce, than the prosecution of the war.
Besides, it is obvious what an enormous power France would acquire by the addition of so fruitful, populous, rich, and industrious a country; and what preponderance it would give to a vain and ambitious Government, which, placed at the head of a warlike and restless people, would hold in its hands the political balance of Europe, and direct it at pleasure.
Real, Editor of the "Journal de l'Opposition," which is publicly sold at Paris, draws the following comparison between the manner of making decrees, which now prevails in the Convention, and that which was followed before the 9th Thermidor: "Robespierre had his pious dames; and the history of these indefatigable gossipers, who since the 6th of October have borne so distinguished a part in the Revolution, would be interesting enough. Their reign is over, but nevertheless we are under the government of women. Hoarse voices from the galleries, it is true no longer dictate decrees; but now a-days a pretty girl in a snug room proposes, in a tone so sweet, projects most interesting. Politics come so charming from her lips! The solicits with so much grace! the denounces in a tone so overwhelming, that it is impossible not to yield; and thence originate the versatility and fickleness which afflict certain legislators so grievously. How many decrees were dictated by the galleries under Robespierre! How many projects are enforced by the figs in the boudoir, under Tallien, Chenier, Louvet &c."
On Tuesday last his Grace the Duke of Norfolk ascended into the lantern of the highest spire in the steeple of St. Nicholas's Church New-Castle, which is now repairing and ornamenting. We do not suppose that any Duke in England was ever before placed in so exalted a situation.
Yesterday accounts were received at the India House of the arrival of the Pitt, Captain Manning, from Bengal, in the River Shannon in Ireland.
The Pitt failed from St. Helena on the 2d of July, in company with the Essex, Asia, Mansfield, General Goddard, Airly Castle, Lord Hawkesbury, Bulbridge, and Earl of Wycombe, East-Indiamen, for London; the Comet, Holderness, Mercury, and Lady Shore, Sugar Ships, from Bengal; — Dunlap, (a Portuguese Indiaman;) the Alderney, from the South Seas, and eight Dutch East-Indiamen, one of which, the Hugely, took fire at sea, and was burnt to the water's edge; the crew were saved.
The Pitt parted the rest of the fleet on the 5th instant, in lat. 49, 50, long. 21, 30, under convoy of a ship of the line.
Previous to the fleet sailing from St. Helena, another Dutch Indiaman had been captured and carried in there.
Dispatches have been received by the Adventure Man of War, Capt. Crawley, from Lord Dorchester at Quebec. All was well in Upper and Lower Canada the latter end of July. Trade was very brisk. The traders on the Lakes were pleased with the final settlement of the Treaty between Great Britain and America; and had celebrated the event with tokens of much festivity.
Monday night, about 11 o'clock, a fire broke out at the house of the Right Hon. Mr. Secretary Dundas, at Wimbledon, which did great damage to the house, and burnt a great part of the Stables before the Firemen and Engines arrived; but it was happily got under without doing any further damage. No lives were lost.
FRANCE.
PARIS September 11.
The Terrorists, expelled from the Primary Assemblies of Paris, have taken refuge in the galleries of the Convention, for the purpose of applauding, as during the reign of Robespierre, the very revolutionary motions, which have been made of late in the Convention. The 30 or 40 placards, with which Government at a very great expense daily cover the walls of this commune, have not prevented the decree of re-election to be rejected by almost all the sections of it.—These placards set forth, that the Terrorism which the Convention is charged with, is a term void of sense, and that it never has existed. "In this manner, (says the Courier Universel,) immense sums of public money are daily spent on behalf of some ambitious fellows, who affect to suppose that the destruction of their capricious power is unavoidably connected with the ruin of France. No! the French People will never believe; that Pro-consuls who have devastated the Departments, and carried death and despair into every family, should alone be able to make them happy." On the other hand, all printed bills, destined to unmask the ambitious and interested views of Government, are at night torn down by its satellites, and several of them who were apprehended in the fact, and conducted to the guard-house, have produced for their justification the orders of the police, to take down all placards, which are not in favour of Government.
"What a spectacle, (says the Courier Universel,) do we now see exhibited by the Convention! Deputies entrance with joy at the acclamations, with which the Jacobins in the galleries shake the hall. Madmen! these shouts of applause, which they now lavish on you, also resounded in praise of Robespierre, whom they afterwards sent to the scaffold. Are you determined to close your career in the same manner you began it, by rearing about you a bulwark of the vilest refuse of society, and the dregs of human kind? Neither our misfortunes, nor your own have taught you what you have to expect from the horde you are cajoling, and calling back to you. They cares you to-day, and flab-
you to-morrow. If you throw yourselves again into their arms, you will lose the only asylum left you amidst honest men, without securing the favour of a ferocious multitude."
The following is the resolution of the Committee of Public Safety and General Security, relative to the ci-devant Duchess of Orleans. It is supposed that it will be followed by several similar ones in favor of the once privileged cast to which she belongs:
The United Committees of Public Safety and General Security, considering that Louise Marie Adelaide Bourbon Penthièvre has been deprived of her liberty as a simple measure of general security, and in consequence of the revolutionary circumstances which called for her imprisonment; that no charge has ever been brought against her principles, her sentiments, or her conduct, which have been invariably conformable to what might have been expected from a French woman obedient to the laws of her country; considering that the public tranquility, far from being interrupted by the declaration of the perfect freedom of a woman become still more interesting by her two long sufferings, and by the derangement of her health, would be consolidated, if that were necessary, by such an application of principles; considering, lastly, that the decree of 22d Messidor last seems to announce the approach of the epoch, when the members of the Bourbon family, still in France, will enjoy all the rights of citizenship; and that the crisis, to which the negotiation relative to the exchange of the daughter of the last King of the French is arrived, gives reason to think that no political relations will be detrimented by the act of justice which the situation of Louise Marie Adelaide Bourbon Penthièvre demands.
Resolved, at this present, that Louise Marie Adelaide Bourbon Penthièvre, widow of Orleans, shall from this moment enjoy her full and entire freedom, with permission to retire to the Chateau of Armain viller, or to any other seat she may make choice of. Paris 24 Fructidor, third year.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Evening sitting of Sept. 8.
Cornilleau announced, that the Committee of Decrees had already received 136 protocols of Primary Assemblies, which had all accepted the Constitution, and most of them also the Decree for the re-election of two thirds of the present members.—Some of these Primary Assemblies had even requested the whole Convention to remain at its post. ["This dastardly adulation (says the Courier Universel) was loudly applauded by the Mountain, and the Jacobins in the galleries."
Among the number of the Primary Assemblies, which were announced to have accepted the Constitution, was the Commune of Rouen; but whether or not it has also accepted the aforesaid decree, is not stated.
Manuel—"The three Sections of Langres, in the department of Upper Marne, have gratefully accepted the Constitution, as well as the decree of the 5th of Fructidor."—Plaudits.
Several citizens whom their Primary Assemblies had refused to admit, on account of their having been disgraced as Terrorists, appeared at the bar, & complained against the pretended tyranny, which excluded them from these Assemblies. They called themselves patriots of 89, and gave some broad hints, that if they were allowed to form a particular Assembly, they would accept the decree for re-election of two thirds of the present Assembly which is so strenuously opposed by the citizens of Paris.
They were applauded, and treated like brethren. The President told them in his answer, that the Convention was sorry for the little persecution they had suffered by some anterior decrees, and seemed almost ready to beg their pardon. He promised them, that their good wishes should certainly not be rejected. "Look, (said the partisans of the Mount,) these are the patriots whom you disavowed because on the 1st Prairial they intended to murder you, along with many other good citizens. Look, how they return to us!"
Sitting of Sept. 9.
Genifieux opened the sitting with several observations, tending to prove the necessity of completing the Civil Code, which were referred to the Committee of Eleven.
Manuel, in the name of the Committee of Finances, proposed a decree, that the bons of the first lottery should be admitted in the second, as well as the democratized assignats with the Royal image—Adopted.
Thibaudeau, in the name of the Committee of Eleven, presented a plan for the organization of the Ministry. He divided the Ministerial Administration into six different branches, viz. of justice, finances, war, navy, foreign affairs, and the interior; at the head of these six divisions is to be placed an Agent or Minister General. The Ministers are to be responsible for every attempt to infringe the Constitution, or to violate the internal or external security of Paris, and for all dilapidations of public money. The executive directory alone possesses the right of prosecuting Ministers; every Minister is to have half the salary of a Member of the Executive Directory, except the Minister for foreign affairs, who is to enjoy three-quarters of that salary. All the Ministers are to be found in lodgings and furniture at the expense of the Republic. Ordered to be printed, and adjourned.
Daunou laid before the Assembly a project concerning the form of Elections, several articles of which were decreed.
The Member who presided ad interim, declared that the sitting was raised. But the Assembly wishing to continue it longer, Chenier took the chair.
Several patriots complained of their being excluded from the Primary Assemblies by stock-jobbers and royalists, who lorded it over the sections.—They were received with shouts of applause.
Their address is to be printed; but on the motion of Legendre, some personalities are to be suppressed, which concern La Harpe, La Cretelle, Serizy, Reeder, and Renaud de St. Jean Argely.
Sitting of September 12.
The commune of Valenciennes, as well as the garrison of Luxembourg, have accepted the Constitution and the decree of the 5th Fructidor.
Lehardy, of the Lower Seine, announced, that not only the commune of Rouen, notwithstanding the efforts of royalists and anarchists to represent its being infected with aristocratical principles, but also nineteen-twentieths of the department of the Lower Seine, had adopted the Constitution and decree of re-election.
On the motion of Monnot in the Committee of Finances, the Convention decreed, that the National Treasury shall pay the following sums to the Committees, viz.
To that of the Civil Administration of Police, 25 millions; to that of the National Revenues, 80 millions; to that of the Public Conveyances, 50 millions; to that of the Navy and Colonies, 60 millions; to that of the Organization of the armies, 600 millions; to that of Public Instruction, 3 millions; to that of Succors and Relief, 50 millions; 4 millions to that of the Inspection of the Hall; and one million to the Committee of General Safety; making in the whole, eight hundred and seventy-four millions.
Dannou, in the name of the Committee of Public Welfare, proposed a decree, purporting, that in the ports of Brest, Toulon, and Rochefort, Juries should be established to decide the differences arising between the civil officers and those of the navy.
The section of Mont Blanc complained, that in an address presented a few days since in the name of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, the inhabitants of Paris had been accused of having formed a plot to arrest the Convention.
"Thus," said the speaker, "the tocsin has been rung against Paris, and you have not prevented it. We are surrounded with dangers, and it seems that terrorism is to be restored. If a civil war is kindled, France and all Europe will know, that you did nothing to prevent it. Out of 1466 votes in the Section of Mont Blanc, 1463 have accepted the Constitution, and three have rejected it. The decree of re-election has been unanimously rejected."
The President, Berlier, said, that the Convention should reply to calumnies merely by the calmness of its deliberations.
Garran declared, that the speaker of the section was a calumniator; he showed the original address of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, which he stated to have been actually drawn up in the midst of that army. The Convention passed to the order of the day.

Captain Abel, late from London mentions that previous to his sailing, he was in company with the mate of one of the English Indiamen that arrived there in the month of July last, who told him, that before he left Calcutta, Captain George Bright, had arrived there in the ship O'Leago, from New-York.
Answer of the Pope to the letter of Louis XVIII.
Pius VI. to our very dear son in Jesus Christ, Louis XVIII. of France and Navarre, the most Christian King.
"Very dear Son,
"It is with real regret, that we learned the premature death of your illustrious and unfortunate nephew, with the melancholy circumstances attending it. We have not ceased to invoke divine providence, that he may deign to fortify and encourage your majesty, that you may be enabled in these times of calamity to support the burden of the crown of your ancestors.
The misfortunes and adversities that have incessantly pressed upon you since your departure from France, have been intimately felt by every one. But to these misfortunes there is an end. Consider then in the infinite mercy of the Almighty: He alone will decide between you and the French people, whether they ought to be republicans, or whether they shall be subject to a King? His will, which shall be freely made known by the people in the new national organization, will undoubtedly decide upon that heroic sacrifice which is worthy to be made by a soul like yours in favour of the repose of human kind.—The unequivocal principles of equity which have superseded the barbarous system of terror under which France has groaned, give us reason to hope that pacific resolutions will be the fulfilment of the designs of the Almighty.
"Very dear son, whatever these may be, constantly depend upon our paternal solicitude, and the tender interest we shall not cease to take in the concerns of the eldest son of the church.
"We give your Majesty our apostolical benediction, and pray to God that he will protect your lawful rights. (Signed) PIUS VI."

CHARETTE'S VICTORY.
We have received a letter containing an ample confirmation of the news which was communicated to the public, in our paper only, on Saturday the 19th, of a complete victory having been obtained by Charette over the republican army. The republicans are stated to have lost 8000 men in the action.
Yesterday morning a vessel arrived at Dover from Calais, by which we have received the French papers of the 24th inst. These contain the very important intelligence of the declaration of the Convention in the sitting of the 1st Vendemiaire, (September the 23d) of the acceptance of the French Constitution. The number of Primary Assemblies is six thousand three hundred and thirty-seven; the whole number of votes, 956,745, on the Constitution alone, of whom 914,853 accepted it. The number of voters on the decree of the 5th and 13th Fructidor was 270,338; of whom 167,758 accepted them; and 102,580 rejected them.—Majority in favour of the decrees—65,178.
We yesterday stopped the press to state which was in very general circulation, of a passport having been granted to the French Commissioners at Dover, M. M. Monneron, and Servant, to come up to town. This report still prevails, and these gentlemen are expected in town this day. Yesterday they dined with Gen. Grinfield, commanding the troops at Dover.
Government had been prepared for the reception of these Commissioners by a gentleman from Dunkirk, who came to England last week to apprize our ministers of their appointment; but they were not then expected to reach Dover till this day.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington. Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing are closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to let the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prize are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of them having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the share, suspension indispensable.

A MILL for SALE.
FOR Sale, on private contract, five undivided sixths parts of that valuable merchant-mill, called Old Pennypack Mill, with two dwelling houses, stables, cooper's shop, cafe house, and other convenient buildings, with about 20 acres of good land, the greatest part thereof is excellent watered meadow, the remainder garden, orchard, and wood land; situate ten miles from Philadelphia, near the Washington Tavern, partly on the post-road leading to New-York, and partly on the River road; a remarkably healthy country, and an excellent neighbourhood. This mill being on Pennypack creek, a heavy stream of water, with about 15 feet head and fall, and the side flowing about 6 feet, will admit a vessel carrying 1350 bushels of wheat to lay along side, and unload into the mill with Evans's elevator in about three hours. The mill house is large and built of stone, founded on a rock, the walls uncommonly thick and strong, (such a piece of mason work is rarely to be found) contains five floors, two water wheels, and three pair of the best French burr stones all running, double geared, with three bolting reels and cloths of the first quality, rolling screen, cylinder, and fans for cleaning wheat in the best manner, and passing it afterwards by an elevator into a hanging garner; also, conveyers, elevators, and hopper boy, all in complete order. There are two large frame buildings adjoining the mill, which are convenient for storing flour, shorts, cakes, &c. A corn-kin is erected within the building, with bolting, reel, cloth, and other necessary fixtures for manufacturing large quantities of kiln-dried corn meal. The stream of water is so constant that upwards of 60,000 bushels of wheat have frequently been manufactured at this mill, annually. The tumbling dam was built of stone and frame about 30 years ago, but the late extraordinary frescoes have made a breach therein, it can easily be repaired altogether with stone, the greatest part of which is already at hand, and the remainder can be quarried near the dam, as there are several good quarries of excellent stone on the premises, and adjacent to the creek; the contiguous of this very valuable estate to Philadelphia, and the easy navigation for shallops, with the above-mentioned great advantages, and many others not here mentioned, must be obvious to any person who may view the premises.
An indispensable title, clear of all encumbrances, will be made to the purchaser on paying part of the money, and giving satisfactory security for the remainder, payable with interest in instalments at such times as may be agreed on. For further particulars enquire on the premises of FRANCES LEWIS, Executrix to the estate of Robert Lewis, deceased; or at SWIFT, near Bull's-Town; or NATHANIEL LEWIS, or DAVID LEWIS, in Philadelphia.

November 4. m&c.
Forty Dollars Reward.
RAN away from the subscriber, living at Mordington Mills, near Frederica, in Kent county, state of Delaware, on the night of the 27th of June last, a slave negro man named BENN, about 27 years old, 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, of a yellow complexion, and might pass for a mulatto. The clothes he had on cannot, with exactness, be described, as he made several breaches of honesty, in that way, on his setting out. He is a very great lover in his dress; has naturally a condemned and lurky countenance, altho' he at times affects a smiling one; his village is thin, with large black whiskers; the whites of his eyes often red: It is not recollectable whether he has any particular flesh-marks, except on his back, where may be seen (tho' light) the letters of the whip, placed by judicial authority, for house-breaking, lock-breaking, stealing, &c. as well before, as since I purchased him. He is possessed of but a small share of reason or sensibility; a great coward, tho' his looks are devilish, and at the same time sneaking. As he took his flight upwards from here, at the commencement of harvest, it is presumed he was persuaded by some of the free negroes in this quarter to make his escape with them should he not be in Philadelphia, he is probably between here and there.
Whoever takes up the said negro Benn, and secures him in any public goal, so that his master may get him again, shall have the above reward; and if brought home additional charges for reasonable expenses, paid by
James Douglass.
