ABSTRACT of the celebrated SPEECH of
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
APRIL 9.
Pelet, in a speech on the political state of France, asserted, that the court of Vienna had last year made preparations to support Russia, if the chief of the Russian succession had been able to hold out to the end of the campaign.
Pelet observed, that the old political system of Austria had always been of a dilatory complexion; that a true and suspension of hostilities would have been a triumph for the court of Vienna; that Colloredo and Thugot, the two ministers, who possessed the greatest influence over their master, were not gifted with sufficient energy and courage to lead the mind of the young Emperor towards a decisive peace;
Pelet, after having shewed the impropriety of several other articles, proceeded to call to recollection, by what men, under what circumstances, with what views, and with what designs, the constitution of 1793 had been proposed, framed, and adopted.
Art. 1. "The primary assemblies shall be formed on the 1st Prairial, for the purpose of settling the electors and the magistrates. The electors shall assemble on the 1st Messidor, in order to name the candidates for the executive council."
Art. 2. "The primary assemblies shall pronounce Yes, or No, on the following questions: 1st. Shall the convention be renewed by quarter or half?"
DURING this awful pause, in which the different Belligerent powers of Europe are engaged in preparation for the opening of the ensuing Campaign, the speculative mind from a due consideration of past occurrences and a view of the present situation of affairs, will be enabled to hazard a few conjectures on the probability of future events.
"The laws you have enacted concerning the division of property, the grubbing up of heaths, the redeeming of ground-rents, and the equal partition of inherited estates, encroach upon the rights of property, destroy the pasture grounds, diminish manure, and occasion an immense diminution of meat, hides, tallow, wool, and in general of all the most necessary articles."
"While, by our energy, we triumph abroad, and the coalesced kings are forced to sue for peace, weakness and want of energy have crept into the interior. Our soldiers are animated with unconquerable
confidence, but we are dispirited by mistrust of ourselves. Which is, then, that evil genius, always stirring among us? What causes the true friend of his country to be alarmed for the fate of France? His fears arise from his conviction, that as long as we have no certain, settled government, all our measures cannot possibly extirpate that anarchy, which is inseparable from a provisional state of things, and from laws dictated by circumstances, which ultimately must plunge us all into the horrors of a civil war."
"Does the Constitution of 1793 contain any principle, powerful enough to guarantee to the French people the duration of their republican existence? Where is this principle? Where is that protecting institution, which shelters it from the innovations of those legislators who are to supersede the Convention? One says, that legs must be given to that Constitution; another, that legs ought to be made for the constitution, without which it would be impossible to put it in motion."
Pelet, after having shewed the impropriety of several other articles, proceeded to call to recollection, by what men, under what circumstances, with what views, and with what designs, the constitution of 1793 had been proposed, framed, and adopted.
Art. 1. "The primary assemblies shall be formed on the 1st Prairial, for the purpose of settling the electors and the magistrates. The electors shall assemble on the 1st Messidor, in order to name the candidates for the executive council."
Art. 2. "The primary assemblies shall pronounce Yes, or No, on the following questions: 1st. Shall the convention be renewed by quarter or half?"
But let us view her in the mild light of calm Philosophy without being dazzled by the effulgence of her martial Glory; 'Tis then her real state, shorn of its brilliancy, will appear truly melancholy; 'Tis true, her armies every where are crowned with victory. But will those victories tend to procure her a lasting peace, or to establish a constitution? No the clashing interest of the different parties in the Convention, will for a long time mar her in the pursuit of those two inviolable objects: To ensure her a lasting peace she must first form a Constitution on some fixed and immutable principles, and to form such a constitution, unanimity, unawed by public clamour, and unbiaised by private interest.
the nature of man and makes ambition virtue."—Belides the misfortune which France labours under from her legislators, they are threatened with the approach of an other enemy which neither enthusiasm can combat, nor numbers vanquish, 'tis Famine.
The nation was hurried into a war by a Minister who taking the advantage of the intimation and forsook of the people at the execution of Louis XVI. he turned those feelings, which we must certainly allow to be amiable, to the detriment of their possessors, he knew the spirit of republicanism which was gaining ground among them and would in the end have prevailed, to the destruction of him and his connections, but with the greatest ingenuity he plunged the nation in a war for the ostensible purpose of eradicating those principles abroad which he had no other way of crushing at home;
The Germanic bodies being longer engaged in the war have suffered greater losses in men than any of the other allies; from the difficulty the Emperor meets with in recruiting his armies, it is doubted if he will be able to appear in the field this campaign—especially as the allies have so little to hope from the king of Prussia.

LONDON, April 23.
The tax on powdered heads is likely to bring wigs into more general use than they have been of late years. The ample periwigs, which in this day are never worn except by two orders of the people, i. e. the judges and chimney-sweepers on May-day, had a whimsical origin: SAXON, King Henry the Eighth's fool, is the first person recorded to have worn a wig in England; and this wig, from some tradition concerning the wearer, appears to have been long and flowing hair, with vermicule curls down the backs.
PARIS, April 4.
This city is at this moment tranquil; it has been agitated for the last 4 days. Every thing has resumed its former course; and yesterday the spectacles were as well attended as if the general quiet had not been troubled for a century.
Those who were the most determined against the banishment of the assassins of 200,000 French, are now thinking their punishment by any means proportioned to the number and enormity of their crimes, are now happy that they have not to dread the return of those men, and applaud a decree which proves the horror with which the Convention regards the shedding of blood.
It appears to us unjust to indict it even on Fouquier Tinville, who was no more than the right arm of the old committees.
However that may be, the people now indulge more than ever the hope of public happiness, founded on an approaching peace! Let the Convention hasten to give us a definitive constitution and government. This will be the only effectual way to disconcert the projects of the ambitious. But we repeat it, it should be done immediately.
LONDON, April 25.
By the last letters from Madrid, it appears that people there begin to receive information of the successes of the French in Holland, and to doubt of the conquest of France by the Combined Powers.
From the EAGLE.
AN ODE
Composed and set to music, for the celebration of the
ANNIVERSARY ELECTION
Of the State of New-Hampshire, for the year 1795, held at Hanover.
GREAT SOURCE OF BEING, Power Divine!
Inspire our souls—exalt our lays!
In songs feraphic may we join,
And shout Hosannas to thy praise!
Loud, loud proclaim
Th' ALMIGHTY's name,
Who gave the mandate first.
Old Chaos hears—
Unnumber'd spheres
Start from primeval dust.
Our fathers fled proud 'Albion's' shore,
In quest of freedom cross'd the sea;
The tempest howls, the surges roar,
They seek—they find relief in THEE.
Thou spak'st the word,
Old Ocean heard;
The trembling waves are still;
Light o'er the expanse,
Mild breezes dance,
Subservient to thy will.
When famine join'd with dire distress,
Spread desolation o'er the land,
Thou bad'st the fell contagion cease,
And Plenty smil'd at thy command.
The plains renew,
For fongs are due
To HIM, whose mighty hand,
In tent, or field,
Was still their shield,
And sav'd the feeble band.
When savage tribes, a horrid train,
In murderous hordes against us rose;
To thee we sought—nor sought in vain—
Thine arm Almighty crush'd our foes!
In darksome hour,
O GOD of POWER!
Thou did'st dispel our fear;
With trembling feet,
Their tribes retreat,
Like mist they disappear.
Thou bad'st us stem oppression's tide,
Amidst the infuriate blasts of war,
Bad'st WASHINGTON to glory ride,
Sublime in Victory's flaming car!
O may thy praise
In rapturous lays,
Fill ether's boundless plains,
Blest spirits join,
With notes divine,
And trill seraphic strains!
Thou did'st unfold fair Freedom's plan,
And taught Columbia's happy Sages,
To read the important rights of man,
Inscrib'd on NATURE'S SACRED PAGE!
While time shall last,
Thy goodness past
Shall be our constant theme,
Nor end of days,
Shall end our lays,
To GOD the ONE SUPREME!
O may we, this auspicious day,
Be guided by thy truth divine
May Wisdom's lamp illumine our way,
Kindled at pure Devotion's shrine
With one accord,
To praise the LORD,
Bid pealing anthems rise;
From pole to pole,
Loud Paeans roll
To GOD the only Wife!
On that thy choicest blessings shower,
To whom the cares of state are given,
May Justice wield the sword of power,
Till EARTH's the MINIATURE of HEA-
RAVEN!
Raise, raise the song,
The notes prolong,
Till time shall be no more,
Creation join,
Around his shrine,
AND NATURE'S GOD ADORE!

COMMUNICATION.
The Secret Treaty, negotiated in November last, now under consideration, though Secretary Grenville appears, on the part of Great-Britain, to be the ostensible person, is well known to be the work of Charles Jenkinson and William Eden, now both of them Lords, and considered to be the most accomplished all-work politicians in Great-Britain.
A late Cambridge (Eng.) Paper contains the following paragraph:
We have to acknowledge our particular obligations to the Rev. Mr. Jones, the curate of Cottingham, for the liberal manner in which he publicly recommended this Paper from the pulpit a few Sundays since.
In the debate in the National Convention on the first of April, 'All the members said, that for several days past they had been without bread, and had eaten nothing but buttermilk.'
In addition to twelve full of the line and eighteen frigates which the United Provinces are to furnish the French, the latter have also made a requisition on the former of One Hundred Millions of Florins.
A CURIOUS FACT
Yesterday some Hay-makers in a field near Germantown, took up a Land Tortoise, which had every appearance of venerable age; on a closer inspection was read on its belly in faint characters, George the 1st 1717.

NEW-YORK, June 19.
Yesterday arrived in this port, the French privateer Schooner Le Vengeur, with her prize, the ship Sn. Josef Princes da Aufurias, mounting 12 carriage guns, and having on board 37 men; she is laden with wine, brandy, dry goods, &c. said to be worth 200,000 Dollars.
The privateer mounted only 6 guns, and had 58 men on board; the ship struck without firing a gun.
Melancholy Accident.
On the evening before last, as the Albany flag was descending a hill near Haerlem, the driver in attempting to regain one of the reins which a sudden jolt of the waggon had shaken from his hands, fell from his seat, and the wheel passing over his body wounded him in a most shocking manner, of which he died the next morning.
BALTIMORE June 17.
Yesterday arrived the ship Sidney, capt. Porter. The Sidney sailed from Dunkirk the 25th April, spoke the ship Joseph, capt. Coffin, out 34 days from New-York bound to Hamburg, all well.—May 5th spoke off the Isle of Wight, the Snow Nelly—Delhiels, of Baltimore, out 35 days from Falmouth, bound to Hamburg.—The Nelly rode quarantine at Falmouth 14 days. May 10th, spoke the Meulet French Schooner of war, in 21 days from our Capes, bound to Brest, the capt. of which informed capt. Porter that he had taken several prizes.
A gentleman who came in the above vessel informs, that the commissioners had arrived at Paris for the purpose of exchanging prisoners—but it was thought that they had orders to treat for peace, as one of the Grenvilles was at the head of them.
BALTIMORE, June 18.
A very unhappy circumstance occurred yesterday. A person who calls himself Patrick Reardon, and says he has a wife and family in Alexandria, was discovered a few miles from town, in the desperate act of suicide. He had just given himself two strokes across the throat with a knife, but not thinking them sufficient, made a third, which cut deep into the wind pipe. He declines giving any reason for making this rash attempt, more than that a voice in the woods bade him. In the evening he was brought to town, and the wound was dressed; but from his weak state, and the length of time before medical aid could be obtained, it is much doubted whether he will survive.
BOSTON, June 16.
REVISION OF CONSTITUTION. The returns of the votes of the citizens of this Commonwealth, on the subject of a revision of the Constitution, are completed. The whole numbers are,

Thus have our citizens expressed their approbation of a form of government, which has been in operation fifteen years. Perhaps the highest compliment ever paid to an institution of the kind.
COMMUNICATIONS.
The French Convention, it is said, are about forming another treaty of amity, and friendship, with the King of Spain, and others of the "coalition despots;" without the privity or consent of the United States!! What can Mr. Monroe be about? Possibly, however, Citizen Adet, may have been sent over to solicit our acquiescence.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
By the Ship Minerva, arrived at New York, from Amsterdam.
NEW-YORK, June 18.
AMSTERDAM, April 17. The commercial intercourse between these United Provinces and foreign countries (except England and her dependencies) shall continue free, subject only to the regulations formerly established.
The exportation of naval and military stores, arms, gun-powder and salt petre, is prohibited to all places except to France and her possessions, and to the colonies and places belonging to the Seven United Provinces.
The revolutionary committee of Amsterdam, taking into consideration the exhausted state of the Dutch finances, and the obligations of every citizen to contribute as much as possible to the public necessities, have resolved to place a box in every commune to be superintended by the collector, in whose possession the key shall be deposited, in order to afford the patriot citizens an opportunity of evincing their attachment to the cause of liberty, by free gifts of gold and silver articles, such as buckles, rings, ear-rings, &c. &c. which are not included in the provisional decree of the 26th March.
A book shall be deposited in custody of the same persons appointed to receive the donations, in which the name of every person who sacrifices their unnecessary ornaments for the public benefit, shall be regularly entered, that posterity may observe
the disinterested patriotism of their ancestors.
The committee, confident that love of country will not be less conspicuous in the native Dutch, upon this occasion, than past experience has shown it among our French Brethren, who have offered at the Altar of Liberty, oblations of the greatest value; invite all their fellow-citizens residents of other towns in this province, to imitate their example, and evince to the universe that no consideration however dear, is too important to be sacrificed to that freedom which is their hereditary birth-right, and which they are determined in every vicissitude of fortune, to support and defend.
Amsterdam, 14th April, 1795. First year of Dutch Liberty.
By order of the committee, VAN DER AA, Sec'y.
From several papers it appears that the most important towns throughout the Province of Holland, have agreed to the proposition of the revolutionary committee of Amsterdam, and are rapidly organizing affiliated committees to carry their patriotic views into immediate effect.
HAGUE, April 26.
Day before yesterday morning, the Provisional Representatives of the People of Holland, held an extraordinary meeting, when a letter was received and read, from J. C. Huitink, Ex-magistrate of Amsterdam; who had been recently superintended in his mission, to Lewer Saxifchen Kretz, in which he shamefully arraigns the legality of the present government, and protests against every measure inconsistent with the old Constitution.
LEIDEN, April 27.
According to letters from Brussels of the 29th Germinal, (18th April) it appears that the annexation of Flanders to France is decreed; and that a proper time only is waited to make it public, which must very soon take place.
[A letter from a respectable Gentleman in Amsterdam may elucidate this.—He says, the French have treated us like Brothers, and their only object in landing here was to set us free from the tyranny of Orange and Prussia.—Very different has been their conduct in some part of Flanders where heavy contributions have been exacted, in return for the base and inhuman treatment the French forces under Dumourier experienced when they retired from those provinces in 1793.]
Letters from Antwerp, of the 20th and 23rd of April, advise the arrival and landing at that city, of large quantities of cannon, and ammunition, from the United Provinces of Holland. Several pieces of light artillery had been shipped there, to be conveyed by water to the westward of Flanders.
LONDON, April 30.
On the IGNIUS FATIUS of the PROPHET BROTHERS.
This miserable pretender to divination has ushered into the world two publications full of many such impious declarations, mixed with political matters, that it is a doubt with some whether he is really deranged in his mind, or whether he assumes that appearance to cover a political evil design.
It is strange that any should be found so weak as to attend one moment to such folly and wickedness, for so little ingenuity is required in cooking up a prophecy, that the only wonder is, there are not more of the trade.
When, therefore, any of these pretenders to divination attempt to mix politics with holy inspiration, we should be very cautious how we give a moment's credit to them, least the inspiration of the Holy Prophet on the occasion, should proceed from a little bit of bribery from the enemies of the country, to effect their purpose more readily through his means.
The Republic of Venice, although strictly neutral, declined sending a Minister to Paris, even after formally receiving an Envoy from the Convention.
But pressed to establish with France all the accustomed relations of peace and amity, it has at length appointed the Noble Guerini, as Minister to the French Republic.
THE Dutch East-India company conquered the island of Formosa in 1625 and lost it in 1662. The fort, called Zeeland, held out the last.—Impatient at length of the siege, Coxinga, the Chinese General de crimed to send one of his prisoners, the minister Hambroeck, to persuade the garrison to surrender.
As Mr. Courtenay's answer to the Secretary at War's statement of Captain Courtenay's services, has been mis-stated in some of the Papers, we are desirous to give it correctly.
It is whispered in the political circles that Richard Brothers the Prophet, Master Jenkinson, and Colonel Mack, are immediately to proceed, at the head of the Austrian army, to the gates of Paris, where the Prince of the Hebrews is to open his commission and destroy that unrighteous city, by the identical earthquake that but for this fortunate coalition was to have swallowed up London.
It was stated with much confidence, that the Count de Pergen, being furnished with full powers by the Emperor, would settle all matters relative to the loan of six millions, within a few days after his arrival in London.
These difficulties originate in the blind precipitancy of Mr. Pitt, who assuming the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer for the Emperor, and thinking it impossible that the Cabinet of Vienna should not ratify all his acts with as implicit confidence as the Parliament of England, in order to give a magnificent idea of the national resources and his own credit, by raising twenty four millions in 24 hours, struck a hasty bargain with the monied men, the terms of which, as far as concerns the Imperial loan, he cannot now alter without their consent.
of a Courier from Vienna. The Emperor's Ministers seem little anxious about expediting the negotiation, or even about its final issue.
Yesterday an outrageously and cowardly attack was committed on a gentleman, Chestnut street by a fellow armed with a large loaded stick, which being broke the villain took to his heels, but again returned re-armed with another weapon as infamous as the first which he was also broke—and a second time the coward took to his heels.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No 118, Market Street.
1. CHARLOTTE, a Tale of Truth; by Mrs. Rowson; Second American edition, price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the first edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extracts from the Critical Review, Ap. 1797, p. 468 It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of her regularity of her former conduct, is en- jected from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whenever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Englishmen, and excise every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of being this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the cloud of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12. We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so fully excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind.

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