From the Virginia Gazette.
Mr. Printer,
By inserting the inclosed Dialogue which happened between one of my neighbors in one of the lower counties in this state, and an excise officer, you will oblige an old customer.
October 4, 1794.
IT IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A QUAKER SWEAR!
The above sentence was uttered by a country distiller, very early on Monday morning, in the height of the distilling season, in Virginia. After a great rain, (he having with much ado rolled the Sabbath,) all his fuel wet, he being driven up without half sleep to set his still to work, that he might not be ruined by the tax, and oblige as far as might be, complaining customers;—he not being able to make his fire burn, all overwhelmed in smoke and stench, the weather being warm, and he warmer, when one of his neighbors, an excise officer, being early in the exercise of his business also, rode up of a sudden with his rolled shirt, &c.—brought on the following dialogue:
Good morning neighbor!
The distiller, rising up and looking about, it being dark, wiping his eyes said, good morning to you Sir.
Excise officer.—You seem to be angry this morning—Do Quakers ever swear?
Distiller.—I do not know that I ever heard one swear; but this hellish excise law, and other things that I know of in the general government, is enough to make the best man in the world swear, and worse too, if possible.
Excise officer.—Without doubt you are out of your senses this morning; it is the law you so much exclaim against makes your brandy bring such a price this year as it is like to do; as to the other things you know of in the general government, I do not know what you mean.
Distiller.—Box take the price for me! What good will it do me when I am dead? But I know it is not the duty of our spirits, that raises the price thereof.
Excise officer.—What then?
Distiller.—Why the duties on foreign spirits, and the articles they are composed of; or else we might drink our brandy at our old price, and have our own time for distilling it, without endangering our health, &c.
Excise officer.—You are very much mistaken; for you ought to thank your stars, that it ever entered into the head of Congress, to pass such a law.
Distiller.—Thank the Devil!
Excise officer.—You seem to be warm through this morning; I should have thought you would have cooled from Saturday-midnight, by this time.
Distiller.—I do not know what should cool me, except I were like my curled bill, void of life; for it seems as if the devil was in her this morning, the wood, the fire, or all of them together; for it appears as though I shall never get her to running: But to tell you the truth Sir, I am never cool, when I think of this iniquitous law, even the coldest day in winter.
Excise officer.—You do not seem to be in a proper frame for conversation, or else I think I could easily convince you of your mistake.
Distiller.—I have been angry it is true, and am now troubled at my heart, that the general government, whom I had such confidence in, should so soon after the adoption thereof, treat their constituents like a set of slaves; but if you can convince me of my mistake, I will attend with all the ears I have, and give your arguments all the weight I think they deserve.
Excise officer.—You know there must be money raised to pay our debts, and defray public expenses.
Distiller.—I do so. And am heartily willing to bear my part of that expense.
Ex. Off.—Well then. What can be more equal than the duty on spirits; for those who consume to pay the tax?
Distiller.—I confess it appears so at the first view; and has, and does fool thousands; and at the first had the same effect upon me; but I have seen better since; for I must assure you, that when a man gives up liberty for money, he makes a bad bargain!
Ex. Off.—I know not what sort of eyes you must have, or how you calculate to draw such an idea in this case.
Distiller.—I think it is very easily seen, (I mean the imposition of this law,) by all those who have the use of their common senses; not to say any thing of their rational faculties.
Ex. Off.—Now do tell me wherein?
Distiller.—Why to be short. Every
man's skill is not a-like expeditions of the same capacity, every man has not the same advantage of working his skill to the same profit; and besides, men of slender force who have no one to depend on but a few weakly children with himself to carry on the business (at the best hand) at this sickly season of the year; it must be presumed, will lose abundance of time, which it seems he must account for; if he enters by the mouth; and if he enters by the gallon it is worse. Wretched alternative!
Ex. Off.—But you are running away with the argument; are not men of other descriptions liable to the same inconveniences?
Distiller.—No. For men of property, always have means at hand; or at least easily within their reach to effect their purposes; so that this law you speak so much in favour of, is I say, an iniquitous law.
Ex. Off.—It seems you are very hard to please; what could Congress do, to please every body? You have already given up, that money must be raised for public purposes, what better method could be taken?
Distiller.—A method not to oppress, nor endanger the health, nor lives of the citizens, nor create a useless number of officers to prey upon the revenue.
Ex. Off.—I am at a loss to know what method you can have in your head, that would answer better than the honorable Congress, has thought proper to adopt.
Distiller.—Why if the revenue requires it, put a moderate tax on the stills themselves annually, whether we work them or not, according to their capacities, as they do on riding carriages, &c. (Tho' I must confess, it is a doubt, with me, whether either are strictly constitutional!) and then there would not be half the use there is, for so needlessly a set of beings as you are, riding about in splendor, lording it over honest and industrious labourers, committing in the execution of your office horrid blunders; (which has not been uncommon, even within the narrow circle of my acquaintance,) to the great prejudice of a number of citizens.
Ex. Off.—I think you talk with more confidence than good sense; for I do not know who should be so capable to determine in this case, as our well chosen representatives in that respectable body.
Distiller.—If you are not careful I fancy you will get warm presently!—But say what you may about self confidence, or nonsense, it is from a very painful use of my senses, that I have learned what I have said, and I do most candidly assure you, that I depend more on those monitors, than all their visionary theories in politics, and inconsistent syllogisms which either ancient or modern philosophers, politicians, or logicians, have drawn, and I again repeat it, and must say, that the excise law, as it now stands has not a feature of republicanism in it; but is iniquitous, oppressive, and a law, dangerous to the health and lives of citizens, and needlessly expensive; and fool as you think I am, I can demonstrate it, if you had patience to hear me.
Ex. Off.—pray let us hear how?
Distiller.—It is inquisitive;—because it does not bear equally on the citizens in the Union; as might easily be shown, in sundry instances. It is oppressive, because it deprives free men of the free use of their liberty and property; and it is a question with me, whether a greater stretch of power has ever been exercised in the most despotic governments—for I ask, might not Congress, with as much propriety, make a law to number and mark our ploughs, carts, waggons or even our horses &c. and that when we wanted to use our ploughs &c. we must apply to a certain officer by law appointed for that purpose, namely: To grant us licence to use our ploughs &c. certifying when we should begin to use them, how long we might use them; and that if we wanted more time to finish our crops, or accomplish our journey &c. as the case might be, supposing it should be only a day or two, we wanted, or a small remnant of a month we must stop our ploughs, leave our carts &c. from home; or else take out a new licence for a whole month: or be subjected to a heavy fine. It is dangerous to the health, and lives of the citizens, because it pushes, and unnecessarily drives them night and day in a sickly season of the year, to avoid being ruined by a heavy and oppressive duty. Upon the whole, if liberty breathes through any part of this law, I have lost my ideas of republicanism.
Ex. Off.—But there is one comfort, viz. you are only one of a discontented few, who says a word against it.
Distiller.—That may shew the meekness, and patience of Americans in general, and their desire of supporting a government honorable to them; knowing that the eyes of all the world are upon them, if their governors would let them be only half free; (I mean) enjoy liberty in a tolerable degree: but let me tell you, that from what little I know; though that is but little, that Americans have some courage yet, and that very few like the excise law, as it now stands; except it be those who
are inclined with aristocratism, and I fear if a rupture should turn up, the consequences would be very serious.
Ex. Off.—Then I suppose, you think that Congress, is composed of a set of aristocratical tyrants!
Distiller.—I have not said so; but if I may be permitted to speak freely, I think from their proceedings in this matter, and some other things that I have discovered in their management; that they mean to try what we can bear: and it is my opinion as an individual, that it is the best way to let them know, or at least, keep them in mind, that they are our servants, and not our masters.
Ex. Off.—Be careful lest you speak treason.
Ex. Off.—I am not afraid of that in this case, for I have seen, and noticed the constitution, on this particular.
Ex. Off.—But it appears you are too warm and noisy.
Distiller.—Well I may: for I do not know but you are come to take me in, by some of the enraging clauses of this law, (and it is evident there are many,) perhaps you are come to see, whether I have marked my house with capitals, DISTILLER or SPIRITS, or whether I have not left out a letter, or been guilty of some little matter you can get hold of to bring me to punishment; these things, and such like, are enough to warm a man and, make him noisy too.
Ex. Off.—I see there is nothing to be done at present: I must pursue my business, but I shall see you before long and shall wish to know what you mean by the "other things you know of in the general government."—Good day to you.
Distiller.—The like to you Sir.
Foreign Intelligence.
AMSTERDAM, August 18.
We continue to be kept here in the complete ignorance respecting the operations of the armies on the frontiers of these provinces. This day the post arrived from Maastricht; it appears that the last courier fell in with a party of French patrols, by which means we were deprived of all last week of the letters from the Meuse. When the last accounts came away every thing in Maastricht was in statu quo. The gazettes mention that an action took place near the Meuse on Monday last in which the French were repulsed with loss; but of this event we have no particulars. The enemy, it is said are assembling a considerable force between Antwerp and Hoogstraeten, which should seem to indicate an approaching attack on Breda.
It is said that the Spaniards have recently obtained some important advantages, and have forced the enemy to raise the siege of Bellegrade.
Six hundred men of the Dutch dragoon and Swiss guards arrived here on Saturday last from the Hague to reinforce this garrison; the cause of their sudden arrival is unknown.
HELVOETSLUIS, August 19.
Yesterday two thousand British troops from England passed by this place to join the Duke of York's army. Two thousand more we understand are gone to Amsterdam, where 6 hundred Dutch troops arrived a few days ago.
Of the four hundred Dutch soldiers in garrison in this town only ninety are fit for duty; the remaining are ill of a fever which rages with great violence in this part of Holland.
LEYDEN, August 24.
From the Meuse there is no other intelligence but that on the 7th and 8th, the French seemed to be making dispositions for an attack, which however did not take place, and that in the mean while skirmishes were very frequent along the whole line of defence. General Kray, being reinforced by a division of Uhlan's, and by a free corps of Michalourts, has now on the left of the Meuse before Maastricht sixty three squadrons of light imperial cavalry under his orders. The Austrian army from Luxembourg to Ruremonde, is divided into six corps, the principal of which is encamped on three lines near Tourou la Comte, covering an extent of ground of about four miles. This corps is computed at 35,000 men, and the whole 90,000. The pontons were ready at Tourou. At Keer, on the right wing of the centre were expected the Ministers, Counts Metternich, Mercy, M. de Waldeus, &c. The Arch Duke Charles was gone from Aix la Chapelle, to Bonne, to pass some days. According to the report of some deserters, Quessnoy had surrendered to the French, who were now occupied with besieging Valenciennes and Conde. A great part of the French soldiers had returned to their habitations to get in the harvest, but they were expected to return by the 10th September, for a general review to be made near Tirlmont.
FALMOUTH, Aug. 29.
Sir Edward Pellew, in the Arethusa frigate and five others of Sir J. B. Warren's squadron arrived here this morning after a cruise upon the French coasts near Brest, and have brought in two home-bound West Indiamen, retaken from a squadron of French frigates very near Brest harbour. They engaged the French, and even under their batteries destroyed a French frigate of 44 guns and two sloops of war. The bat-
teries from the shore kept an incessant fire on them—notwithstanding which our brave tars, after the sloops were run on shore, landed and would have burnt the sloops, but finding about forty Frenchmen sick or wounded, they desisted.
Out of the frigate they took about one hundred prisoners, which are just landed, and are now marching to Kegille prison. What is very remarkable, notwithstanding the fire from four batteries, (two of which they silenced) as well as the fire from the frigates and sloops, not one man was either killed or wounded.
The report by the Arethusa (one of whose officers I conversed with this evening) is that those French frigates twelve in all, but divided into four squadrons have taken twenty one sail of loaded merchant vessels from Martinico and the other captured islands, nineteen of which are safe arrived in France.
DUBLIN, September 3.
It seems surprising that the dispatches of Lord Dorchester to ministry, should differ so widely from the reports of the American newspapers, relative to the misunderstanding subsisting between the United States and our government. That the intentions of both powers are mutually pacific, may certainly be depended upon; but the American people manifesting so strongly as they do a hostile disposition towards Great Britain, will render it extremely difficult for their Ambassador, Mr. Jay, to obtain such terms from our ministry as will appease their fury. And to this no doubt, is owing the extraordinary length of the negotiation.
PORTSMOUTH, August 31.
At a quarter before six on Friday evening last, L'Impetueuse, one of the large line of battle ships, lately captured by Earl Howe's fleet, and which lay but a small distance from the dock-yard, was perceived to be on fire, and flames bursting out with great rapidity, and forming a pillar of fire, that had the most awful appearance. Signals being immediately made, all the boats from the ships in harbor were manned, and forming themselves into two divisions, the boats lashed together, they contrived, at imminent hazard, to grapple the Impetueuse fore and aft, with strong chains, in order that when her anchor cables were burnt, she should be kept from moving, so as to endanger the Northumberland, which was near her, and prevent the conflagration from spreading, as might be the case if she was adrift. With these grapples the boats could also force her whenever the fire would be least dangerous, and they accomplished their purpose by keeping her in a proper station, until she burned down to the water's edge. There were some Spaniards on board, one of whom was preserved, after being much scorched by the fire. The others, it is said, fell a sacrifice to the flames, which were got under about nine, but not totally extinguished till 12 o'clock.
LONDON, August 29.
The articles put in requisition by the French in Brabant are as follow: the whole of the harvest: a part of the horses, oxen, sheep, &c. the sugar, soap, brandy, cheese, linen, leather, iron, lead, pot-ashes, &c. The assignats are there on par.
The Peggy, Capt. Lant, which is just arrived in the river from the city of Washington, has brought letters, which mention that the building of that capital is carrying on with inconceivable ardor; that the President's house was nearly completed; and that the capitol, in which the Congress were to meet, was just covering in.
Bricklayers, carpenters, and blacksmiths, were so much wanted, that the most enormous wages were given, while provisions in that city were about half the price they are in London.
As one proof of the sincerity of the Emperor, the command of the army is, it seems, to be taken from the prince of Saxe Cobourg, between whom and his Royal Highness the Duke of York, it is whispered, a difference lately took place. Whether that was actually the case we cannot assert on positive information of our own; but we can state with confidence there was hardly ever any agreement between them, or indeed among any of the Generals of the allies. During the late campaign, it was no unusual thing for the Germans to strike tents and quit the ground, without so much as giving to the British the slightest intimation of their designs.—Nay, in one or two instances, they absolutely destroyed the bridges behind them as if it had been their intention to prevent our troops from retreating. This honest manoeuvre (so in war every thing is fair, excepting the tricks of the enemy) was practiced when they quitted the neighbourhood of Tournay, with the view, it was thought, to compel the British to remain there to garrison the place; or at least to prevent them from carrying off their stores, which consequently were deposited in the Austrian magazines.
Generals Clairfait and Daulieu are to have the principal command in the new operations, but under the nominal direction of the Archduke Charles.
Accounts were yesterday received from Leghorn, of the surrender of Calvi, on the 1st inst.
Extract of a letter from Mouni's Bay, August 24.
"On Friday last the 22d instapt, a French cutter privateer was seen off the Land's-end to capture five English brigs and two Dutch vessels between the Long Ships and Woulf Rocks, about six miles from shore. She saw the Euridyce frigate standing into the bay:—The Swiftsure had scarcely rounded the Woulf Rocks ten minutes with a convoy to Cork. The cutter came down like a dart rowing 24 sweeps."
Count d'Artois continues at Rotterdam, under the name of Count Pontheieu. He goes abroad but seldom, and then always at night.
Last night died Mrs. Hardy, wife of Mr. T. Hardy, shoemaker, now confined in the tower under a charge of High Treason. Mrs. Hardy, a few moments only before she expired solemnly declared, that the separation from her husband & the uncertainty in which she was, respecting the time of his trial, was the occasion of her death.
The Belmont merchant ship, taken on her passage from London to the West Indies, had on board twelve or fifteen French emigrants, on their way to take possession of their colonial property.
FRENCH FLEET IN OSTEND.
On Monday afternoon, August the 4th, the whole force of French transports, which have been so long assembling at Dunkirk, Boulogne, and Calais, sailed from the former place at two o'clock, and arrived at Ostend, under convoy of the following ships, which came into the harbor, and moored alongside the Salt Quays.
The whole amounted to 172 in number, including a few which entered next morning at nine o'clock.
La Robuste, a frigate mounting 36 guns, all 36 pounders. This ship was formerly a line of battle ship, and has been lately cut down, and carries the Commodore's flag, who is a Dutchman, and emigrated from Holland at the commencement of the French Revolution in 1782.
L'Imperiable, a small frigate of 28 guns, commanded by Terreville.
La Videtta, a sloop of war of 16 guns, commanded by Citizen La Fontaine.
L'Inabordable, a brig of war commanded by De Chere, L'Azon Fleurs.
Two float cutters—names unknown.
Three privateers, brig rigged.
One lugger privateer.
Seven gun-boats, brig rigged and schooner rigged; mounting each 3 guns brass twenty pounders.
Four Dutch galliots on a new peculiar construction, mounting from six to eight guns each, generally 9 or 12 pounders. These vessels are supported by props between decks, to prevent the weight of the metal from forcing in the deck, and have bulwarks or barricades made of faggots, and covered with tarpaulins to form ports for the guns; the tackles of which are fastened to stows and back stays from the cross-trees to the chains, and others running from the cat-head to the main shrouds.
The vessels are like logs on the water, and have a singular appearance.
Three armed hye-boats, viz La Flèche de Calais, La Succès, and the packet taken from before Ostend last year belonging to Capt Osborne.
These boats have on board 26 men each, and go always out in the evening, and return in the morning.
The officers and men are totally ignorant of the place of their destination, though they suppose it is some part of Holland—Flushing most probably.
Last Thursday night at 12 o'clock, the Tower was put into a perfect state of defence; the guns upon the wharf and round the battlements, were all loaded with grape shot. The tower was in the greatest confusion, and the prisoners in the greatest alarm; all this in consequence of a lying report, that several kidnapping parties had taken refuge there, and that the mob were determined to attack it. It is impossible to describe the bustle and ferment this occasioned; the military were all turned out, and every person ordered to his post, as if a siege was really expected but all was quiet. Yesterday morning Mr. Pitt, Mr. Dundas, & Lord Laughton, visited the tower and were there for a considerable time;—what their business was we have not learnt.
The number of British, Hanoverian, and Hessian troops at this time on the

frontiers of Holland, amounts to forty-thousand.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
20 Thermidor, August 7.
Barrere, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, Citizens, treason was the order of the day in the Antilles and on the Continent, at one and the same time. The Republic has been betrayed in the colony of St. Domingo by aristocrats, who invited thither the English and the Spaniards. French emigrants in London sequestrated St. Domingo into the hands of George. Emigrants from St. Domingo intrigued at New-York for the ruin of our colonies. Emitters from the aristocratic colonies transmitted to us details which we could neither controvert nor confide in. In this state of things, public opinion fluctuated respecting the commissioners sent to St. Domingo, against whom the Convention passed a decree of accusation. The deputies from St. Domingo, however, bore testimony to the civism of the Commissioners.
In the mean time, we received news of treasons by some of the commandants of the Windward Islands, and we took the first favorable opportunity of sending a faithful and active mariner to notify the decree to the Commissioners in St. Domingo, and to proclaim liberty to the blacks and commissioners to defend the Windward Islands. Both these missions have been successful. The commissioners of St. Domingo are now giving us an account of their operations.
Citizens, with our successes on the Frontiers we will retake our colonies. The Republic is chiefly on the continent; the Republic is in our marine, in the courage of our armies and our fleets; the Republic is in the energy of the public spirit, and in the imposing attitude which the National Convention has assumed in the eyes of Europe. He concluded with reading a letter from the commissioners of the Windward Islands, of which the following is an extract:
"The conquest of Grande Terre, Guadalupe, is almost a prodigy, and will make an epoch in the annals of liberty. On coming in sight of land, we learned that the Republic had lost her American colonies, that traitors had delivered them to the English. We harangued our brothers, and we attempted a buccaneering enterprise. We disembarked 1000 men without any implements of siege but our bayonets, and the same night fort Fleur d'Epée, defended by 9000 men and artillery, was carried. Three months before, when it was occupied by 110 patriots only, general Grey & one of the sons of George, with 3000 men, did not get possession of but with much time and labor. The English, panic struck by the rapidity of this conquest, evacuated the five other forts, leaving us masters of their magazines and light vessels. We released the Patriots, whom they had imprisoned."
A Member. When I left the Windward Islands, all the Republicans promised to conquer or die in fighting for liberty. The accounts you have just heard prove that they had kept their word. I move that the Convention decree honorable mention of their conduct, and that of the patriots who joined them to retake Guadalupe. Decreed. Extract from the Registers of the Committee of Public Safety, August 3.
"The Committee of Public Safety, considering the meal of rye, from which only fifteen pounds of bran per quintal has been taken, affords less substantial and less economical nourishment than meal more cleared from bran; that the abundance of the harvest allows the means of providing for every necessity; that the supply of bread being assured, it is necessary to procure bran, which has been wanting for some time, and which must in part supply the scarcity of oats, orders,
"That the administrative bodies, the municipalities and the citizens, who shall make rye into meal, may take from it 25 pounds of bran per quintal;
"Charges the administrative bodies, and the municipalities, to watch over the conduct of the Bakers and the Millers. This order shall be inserted in the Bulletin of the National Convention, and sent to the Commission of Commerce."
Letter from the Representatives of the People stationed with the army, to the Committee of Public Safety. Fontarabia, a Spanish city, 15th Thermidor, Second year of the Republic, one and indivisible. "We received yesterday at four o'clock, dear colleagues, your letter of the 10th inst. informing us, that Robespierre, his brother, St. Just, and Loubas had placed themselves in the rank
of conspirators, and meditated the ruin of the people, over whom they wished to tyrannize. Be tranquil, dear colleagues, respecting the brave army of the Western Pyrenees: it does not belong to any individual: It is entirely devoted to Liberty and the Republic, The only sentiments which animate it, are the love of one's country—the hatred of tyrants, and respect and attachment to the Convention. Such an army can never belong to a dictator, whatever his talents or even his services may be; and so far from combating for, it would poignard him.—Its wishes and our own are, that prompt punishment should be inflicted on all the traitors: it is necessary that the land of liberty be purged. The Generals and officers think the same as the soldiers—were any one to endeavour to profit by this event, and occasion troubles, speedy justice should overtake him. You may rest assured that the enemy will be unable to have any advantage from this event, whatever hopes it may afford.—Health and fraternity.
"CAVANAC "GARRAU."
Barrere—"How glorious is this language in a victorious army, and how worthy the Convention to print and transmit it to the departments and the troops of the Republic! It will confirm every thing that the citizens expect from their courage & fidelity: they will thus teach to the tyrants and to the duke of York what they are to expect from a nation of tyrannicides and of armies, who, on the field of battle, dictate their testimonies of attachment to the National Representation.
"But I have not as yet recounted all the successes of the army of the western Pyrenees, for I have not informed you, that a city famous on account of the siege it sustained in the time of the 14th Capet—that a city whose fortifications have been strengthened and augmented since that epoch, and which cost the Marshal-duc de Berwick 8000 men, and a long attack, was taken almost instantaneously, and that too, by a detachment of the army. Fontarabia then, with fortifications to defend its numerous inhabitants, and calmates to shelter its garrison—Fontarabia, which guards the entrance into Spain, is at this moment in the possession of the Republic. The particulars of this signal success are too singular to be omitted here. On the evening of the same day, (14th Thermidor,) Garran, Representative of the people, marched against Fontarabia with 300 men, all brave soldiers. Lemarque, assistant to the etat Major, and Captain of grenadiers—in short, the citizen whom you see at your bar, with the Spanish colours in his hand, led on this Republican band. He assumed a position above Fontarabia, after having experienced a shower of grape shot, which killed three soldiers at the side of Garran. On being master of the height, he instantly summoned the city to surrender, and Lemarque, who entered with a flag threatened an immediate assault, in case of refusal.
"The council of war immediately assembled: it was composed of two capuchins, one priest, the commandant, the town-major, the principal engineer, and some other officers. The capuchins, at first, insisted on defending the city: they invoked God and all his holy saints, asked the inhabitants if they would abandon so much property to the enemies of religion? They then insisted on 24 hours time, in order to deliberate. Lemarque, on this, produced the following summons, and observed, "that by the laws of war, the French had a right to put all the capuchins to death, on account of their intermeddling in civil affairs, if the surrender did not take place within the period fixed by the Representatives of the people:
"The commandant of Fontarabia is hereby summoned to deliver it up to the army of the Republic: the space of six minutes is only allowed him for deliberation: that period elapsed, no capitulation can be granted, but he and the whole garrison shall be put to death.
"From the redoubt of the capuchins, this 14th Thermidor, second year of the Republic, one and indivisible. (Signed) "The Representative of the People, "GARRAU."
"There were 800 Spaniards in the town. Fear presided in their council. The capuchins did not wish to risk the laws of war, and Fontarabia surrendered at half an hour after six o'clock the same evening.
THE CAPITULATION.
"In the name of the French republic.
"We, the Representatives of the French People and General in Chief of the Army of the Western Pyrenees, on the demand of the Commandant of Fontarabia, to have 24 hours in order
to decide as to the delivering up the same to the army of the Republic, reply, That the army, which in consequence of its victories, finds itself able to give law to the City, the care of which is confided to him, will not grant him any longer time, than until five o'clock, in order to accede to the following terms:
Article I. The garrison shall march out with all the honors of war, ground their arms before the Republic, and surrender themselves prisoners of war. II. All the magazines, artillery, &c. &c. shall be delivered up to the French nation, in the same state that they are in at this present moment. III. No covered waggons shall be allowed.
Given at Fontarabia, this 14th day of August, 1794.
"VINCENT DE LOSREYER Commandant of the Place.
MULLER, General in Chief of the army of the Republic.
"PINART, sen. } representatives of CAVIGNAC, } the people with GARRAU, } the army of the western Pyrenees,
Barrere—"Let us not remain insensible of this exploit: let us recompense the capture of Fontarabia by a vote of thanks: and let our annals no longer talk of this city so boastful of its situation and inviolability—but only to remind us of the glory of the army of the Western Pyrenees. It belongs to it to separate Spain from the Coalition—to dictate the laws to the Capet who yet reigns over a superstitious people and to make the inquisitors and monsters of Madrid tremble. Eighty republicans only fell on this occasion: thus audacity abridges danger, and courage preserves armies: in political and military revolutions, death is always the lot of the coward and the slave. What, think you, were the expressions of the soldiers, in the midst of their victories? "They now talk of us in the Convention, they will perhaps order a report on our conduct." This is truly republican, and they shall experience the reward they so justly merit.
He concluded with proposing, that the convention should declare that they had deserved well of their country—Decreed amidst unanimous plaudits.
PHILADELPHIA,
OCTOBER 27.
We hear the President of the United States is expected in Town to-morrow, or next day.
He left Bedford on the 24th inst.
By an express arrived this day, accounts are received that the Army had marched forward from Bedford, on the 23d instant.
Many of the Eastern newspapers due on Friday last, were not received here till this day—and these, particularly the Boston papers, were in such a wet, torn and mutilated condition that it was impossible to make extracts from them—had they contained anything important.—The New-York papers, notwithstanding the violent storm of yesterday, came to hand in good order.
In a London paper under the head of August 19th, there appears an article, purporting to be an extract of a letter from Paris dated July 31st, this extract contains a detail of the events which took place on the fall of Robespierre and his party—On that occasion twenty three persons, distinguished in the Government, were executed, besides sixty eight others, municipal officers of Paris—and yet the extract concludes with observations from which it is inconteftibly evident, that the proscrition of one party failed, while that of the other actually took place—that it was a personal contest for power, with which the interests of the people for the moment, had no connection.
"Thus has Paris escaped that scene of proscrition and bloodshed which for some time had been preparing by Robespierre and his associates, and which was on the point of being carried into execution. It was foreseen on the 10th of June, the day on which the inviolability of the deputies was set aside, by a decree allowing them to be carried before the Revolutionary Tribunal, on the accusation of the Committee of Public Safety, which was known to be composed of creatures subject to the direction of Robespierre. From that period Tallien, who, on that day, had the boldness to oppose the decree, and who caused an amendment to be added, "that the deputies should first be accused by the Convention," has been successfully busied in contriving plans to ruin Robespierre, or, in other words, to save himself; for it was not possible that both could continue to live. His party was strong but timid; nor could
any thing have made them act, even when they did, but the certainty, that if forty-eight hours had been allowed to pass over, not a man of them would have escaped the blow aimed against them by Robespierre, and which was just ready to fall.
"In proportion to the fears with which the sanguinary proceedings of Robespierre filled the minds of all men, so are the execrations with which his memory is now loaded. It is impossible to conceive the general indignation now expressed against him, without wondering at the address and policy of a man, who could contrive to keep a whole people in fear, and make them not only subservient to, but in appearance, to approve of measures dictated by one, whom each individually execrated in his heart."
On Monday evening last departed this life, in the 58th year of his age, Mr. JAMES REYNOLDS carver and gilder, of this city; and on Tuesday evening his remains, attended by a number of respectable citizens, were interred in Christ Church burial ground, Arch-Street. His children have long to lament the loss of a kind, indulgent father—his relations, and acquaintance, a faithful friend—and society, an active honest man.

PROVIDENCE, October 19.
Last week passed through this town, on their way to Philadelphia, Sieur Ibrahim and Mahomed Ben Ali—two subjects of the Dey of Algiers—the former late a Captain of a Frigate, and the latter his lieutenant. They are at present soliciting permission of the Dey to return home; it being dangerous for them to return after having been taken, although by a superior force. They are gentlemen of respectable families, and from the grateful and very affecting manner in which they received the attentions paid them here, there is no doubt, if they should receive the desired permission, they will be of service to our unfortunate countrymen now prisoners in Algiers.
NEW-HAVEN, Oct. 21, 1794.
The Committee to make weekly report of deaths and state of the sickness in this city certify—That Mr. Nathaniel Jocelin aged 73, who died last evening, is the only person since their last report—he had been sick with the Putrid fever, which left him in a declining state.
They certify that there are only three persons in any way affected with the fever one of whom is dangerous, the others recovering, that those sick of the fever are in the Newtownship.
They further certify that the families which left the city on account of the sickness, have many of them returned and others are daily returning.

The Circuit Court has confirmed the decree of the Judge of the District Court, in the case of the Schooner Success, illegally captured by a boat from the Concorde frigate.
Samuel Rogers, tried at the Circuit Court, was found guilty of illegally assisting on board the above boat, in the above capture. He is not sentenced.
The executive of this commonwealth, has appointed Thursday the 20th Nov. next, as a day for a Public Thanksgiving, throughout the same:
"Save us from all desponding fears; Now may our trust in God be strong, While full Thanksgiving shall arise, And Heav'n-born Peace refound the long."
Near one thousand Bears have been killed the present season in the counties of Washington and Hancock; a circumstance unprecedented in the annals of the country. Their approach towards the sea is owing, it is supposed, to the frost in June having killed the berries, fruits, &c. on which they subsisted.

He took with him a brown fustian double breasted long coat, one drab coat, with red cuffs and cape, the pocket flaps and skirts trimmed with red edge, a fustian waistcoat, a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trowsers, and several other cloaths, also a pair of boots, half-worn. It is probable he has a forged pass, and will endeavour to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their passage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia.

C. W. PEALE.
EVER desirous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate.
Such as may come to conceal their names may either send their communications anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications in a private book which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful ideas, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

I. Neale & H. Kammerer, Junior. HAVE JUST PUBLISHED, And now for Sale, Price half a dollar, neatly bound, at the Booksellers of Messrs. T. Dobson, R. Campbell, and J. Ormerod; also at H. Kammerer's, No. 24, north Third Street. Select Stories, For the instruction and amusement of Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin Extraord 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 elegant approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing children, whilst at the same time the instant Genius is raised and the Heart improved, 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

A VIEW of the Life, Travels and Philanthropic Labours, of the late JOHN HOWARD, Esq. L. L. D. F. 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 crofs or elegant crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank: To caves where wretches with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And mur'm'ring demons bate him, and admire. Sept. 1

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 a great deal of 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, that being in the pursuit 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.
