Distant Subscribers For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Subscription by paying Six Months in Advance, as declining to take the Paper any longer.
As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delinquent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may respectively be indebted—the sums are individually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania have appointed the EXAMINATION of the Senior Class to be held on Monday the 20th of October instant, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon; & that degrees be conferred on such as shall be approved of, on Thursday, the 23rd of the same month.

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

Mr. Fenno,
In your paper of last evening a simple fact was stated respecting the Speaker of Congress; this is denominated in the General Advertiser "a barefaced attempt to impose on the good sense of the

The Constitution of the United States was established to form a more perfect union —an oath to support that Constitution, never included a right to petition that this union should be undermined and overthrown by interpolating the Legislative authority of a part in opposition to the Legislative authority of the whole.
I will suggest to the Insurgent paragraphist in the General Advertiser the following queries, not doubting that they will be duly attended to by every independent elector.
1st. Whether the principle of an excise was ever objected to by the candidate in question, till it extended to his own business ?
2d. Whether the petitioner did not propose in a certain house, that (for the benefit of the poor, no doubt) the duty on raw or brown sugars, should be enhanced in lieu of imposing a duty on refined sugars, which would fall entirely, and exclusively on the rich?
Q.
From a late English Paper.
DIED —In the Fleet Prison, London, Benjamin Pope, Esq., in the 67th year of his age. Mr. Pope was not a less extraordinary character than old Elwes, of memorable memory. He was originally a tanner, in Southwark, and his flock was worth not less than 70,000l. Though said to possess 100,000l. He had been nearly 12 years in prison for debt of 10,000l. which his creditors agreed to take 1000 for. His chief luxury was a pint of small beer, which he always examined carefully to see whether it was full before he paid for it, and about two penny worth of meat per day. His three farthing candle he always bought by weight, i.e. he had the heaviest of eight or ten for his money. He was never known to have a joint of meat on his table. His coat had been for years so old and faithful a servant, that it had long wanted a nap. His wig would have disgraced a crow's nest. In his last illness, being told by an apothecary that his dissolution was rapidly approaching, "Well," said he, with a sort of lambent smile, "in that case I shall wipe off my debt of 10,000l." Notwithstanding these shocking vices, they were mingled with some unaccountable instances of benevolence, for, (whilst he was in the habit of weighing his candle, or measuring out his small beer) he to the last gave weekly orders for a stone or two of meat to be divided among a few poor house-keepers in his neighborhood.

FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, July 30.
Richard, Representative of the People with the Army of the North, to the Committee of Public Safety.
Antwerp, July 27.
"Citizen Colleagues,
"I announced you the evacuation of Fort Lillo. The English on their retreat broke down the dykes, and inundated more than six leagues of the country. They carry with them the hatred and the execrations of the inhabitants, which they had merited by their pillage and their baseness. They continue to accelerate their flight. Our scouts advanced more than ten leagues before they fled their advanced posts. They seem to be taking refuge under the cannon of Breda and Bergen-op-zoom. They left us thirty pieces of cannon at Antwerp. We found considerable magazines, especially of hay. More than three hundred individuals have concealed articles belonging to the allied armies. We are now searching for them. To this mercantile conduct of the inhabitants of Antwerp, I must oppose an instance of disinterestedness and attachment to the French nation, which does honor to Citizen Jacques Leemains, a merchant of this city. On the retreat of Dumourier, in order to save 400 sacks of corn which were deposited in his warehouses, he declared to the enemy that he had bought them. By this patriotic lie he saved them to the Republic, and has now restored them,
(Signed)
"RICHARD."

Committee of General Safety.
The business commenced at ten o'clock. The Convention proceeded to the Nominal appeal, in order to complete
the Committee of General Safety: the majority of the suffrages was united in favour of
 The citizens Legendre, (of Paris)  Goupilleau, (of Nontenay)  Merlin, (of Thionville)  Andrew Dumont.  Bernard, (of Santes) and  Jean Debrie. 
Revolutionary Tribunal.
Lecointre. "I demand the repeal of the law of the 22d Prairial, relative to the new organization of the Revolutionary Tribunal, it is tantamount to Martial Law."
This decree was instantly and unanimously repealed, amidst the plaudits of the Convention.
Freron. "I have beheld with a certain degree of astonishment mingled with horror, in the list of the members presented, in order to compose the Revolutionary Tribunal, the names of men who deserve the public execution. All Paris demands of you the justly merited punishment of Fouquier Tinville. (Plaudits)—You have sent to the Revolutionary Tribunal, the infamous Dumas, and the Jurymen, who with him, participated in the crimes of Robespierre. I shall prove to you that Fouquier is equally guilty, for if the President, and the Jurymen were influenced by the Tyrant, the public accuser must also have been his creature, since he drew up the acts of accusation. I demand then, that Fouquier Tinville may be sent to expiate in Hell, the torrents of blood which he hath shed." (Plaudits)
The Convention instantly ordered him to be arrested, and delivered over to the Revolutionary Tribunal.
Payan observed, that Jean Debrie, hitherto attached to the Federalists, was appointed one of the members of the Committee of Public Safety.
Jean Debrie, said, that as without the public confidence he could not be serviceable, he begged leave to give in his resignation. Like many other members of the Convention he had been betrayed into the

The bloody Octavius, under the title of Augustus, was the theme of the Poet's song, because he had cured the dissensions of his country in the peaceful tomb of despotism. Out of the dreadful agitation of the French Revolution, the Liberty of France and of Europe may yet arise. But the men, who will have contributed to this grand object, by means which the end could alone justify, will all have perished in the conflict, and their characters will remain doubtful in the page of history.
Barrere it is evident, is not among the dead, unless he fell in a popular commotion, as his name certainly stands in the list of the victorious faction—Barrere the late dear friend and organ of Robespierre!
The Convention broke up the Jacobin Club on the 28th; Le Gendre with a pistol at the head of a file of soldiers, turned out the Members and put the key of the door in his pocket, which he afterwards laid upon the table of the Convention.
The whole commune of Paris say the accounts of the 28th, were in open revolt to the Convention, and in league on the side of Robespierre.
It should appear, by accounts from Warsaw direct, that the city had not been attacked on the 30th ult. though others from Berlin of the 28th say, that it was nearly reduced in consequence of a severe bombardment. The fact seems to be, that the Poles are prepared to make a stout resistance.
At the Court of St. James's the 6th of August, 1794.
L. essent, the King's most Excellent Majesty in Council.
WHEREAS in many of his majesty's vice admiralty courts in the West Indies, sentences of condemnation have passed against ships and goods belonging to the subjects of the United States of America: and whereas, from ignorance of the rules respecting the time of appealing, or from inability to find the security required, or from other just and reasonable impediments, the claimants have been prevented from duly entering and prosecuting their appeals from the said sentences: And whereas it hath been represented to his majesty, on their behalf, that they are desirous of entering and prosecuting the same; his majesty is thereupon pleased, by and with the advice of his Privy Council, to order, and it is hereby ordered, that the said parties shall be admitted to their respective appeals, notwithstanding the ordinary times for entering and prosecuting the same may be elapsed, provided the same are entered and prosecuted within a reasonable time, to be approved by Lords Commissioners of Appeal in Prize Causes.
DEAL, August 29.
A Dutch cutter is this moment arrived from Sluys, and brings advice, that the fleet in Brest water on hearing of Robespierre's death, was immediately dismantled by the men and officers; who determined not to go to sea any longer, and went together on shore.

SAMUEL SMITH, Esq. is re-elected one of the Members of Congress for the State of Maryland.
John Patton, Esq. is elected Representative in Congress, for the State of Delaware.
It has been reported for some time past, that Governor Lee of Virginia, was appointed commander in chief of the Federal army, destined to quell the insurrection at the Westward.—An anonymous letter is now published in the Gazettes which appears to confirm that report—and adds that Governor Mifflin is second in command, and Gov. Howell, third.
The President of the United States has proceeded on his route to the Head Quarters of the Virginia troops at Fort Cumberland.
It is worthy of remark, that since it is reduced to a certainty, that the once despised and effeminate Inhabitants of the City, will triumph over the Whiskey Boys of the Forest, some people have conceived a mortal aversion to holding up hands in a Court-House! An instance of this kind happened at the meeting on Saturday evening last, when a certain gentleman, reflecting perhaps, that the holding up of hands boded no good to his friends, proposed the holding up of hats in lieu thereof. This however, would have been making matters still worse, for it must readily occur to all those who have marked the course of
proceedings held in Court-Houses, that the taking off of hats generally follows the holding up of hands, in order to make room for caps!
A correspondent remarks that the petition to the State Legislature of the Sugar Refiners and Smut-makers, was nothing short of a proposition, that the Assemblies of the several States, should form themselves into Insurgent Clubs, a la mode de Paris , to over-awe and control the national government.
It appears from the late accounts from France, that the Jacobin Clubs are "done over"—As Cromwell treated the Parliament, so one of the members of the Convention reports that he has turned out the Society, locked the Door, and has brought away the key in his pocket.
A correspondent who read a paragraph in the General Advertiser, appropriating the election for Congress of persons of a particular description, known by the name of Democrats, cannot avoid reminding the electors of the County and City, that had it not been for the encouragement & support derived from the inflammatory speeches of persons in Congress, commonly called Democrats, we should not, in all probability have had a Western Insurrection, the quelling of which will add to the public debt perhaps two millions of Dollars.
A correspondent who was at the meeting on Saturday evening, could not help noticing, as somewhat portentous the opposition made by a certain Democrat, to the holding up of hands.
Tho' the above meeting really originated with an Antifederal Junta, yet such was the decided majority on the Shew of Hands in favor of Thomas Fitzsimons, that the vote was at once determined in his favor—but his friends supposing the vote not to have been fully understood, called for a second shew, when the majority appeared to be as three to one.
Extract of a letter from the Eastward dated Sept. 19.
"It really appears to me that Popular Societies are the very mints of Tyranny; and if ever a tyrannical government exists in this country, it will flow from that source—from which, good Lord deliver us. But, in respect to your Western Insurgency, I hope better things—that good good will come out of evil—and, like the insurrection in Massachusetts, tho' expensive, be profitable in the end; for that led the people to be watchful, vigilant and well organized—which gave stability to government, and safety to life, liberty and property—And, may I not say, taught the Citizens a wise and true policy, and the absolute necessity of a Federal Constitution, without which, what would our situation have been at this day?—And, yet strange to tell, cabals and intrigues are attempting its subversion. How will such conduct appear in the pages of our history to a wise posterity?
All that I can collect, says an English writer, then, from the late transactions in Paris, is this:—That the Revolutionary Government required a perfect unity of action among the members of the Committee of Public Safety, in whom almost the whole power of the state was lodged; that a schism had taken place in this Committee, that the parties had been for some time preparing for a conflict; that this conflict must necessarily have been, as it proved to be, deadly to one of the parties.
On Monday morning last, departed this life in the 18th year of her age, Miss Susanna Hammill, (after a lingering illness, which she bore with fortitude) daughter of Mr. William Hammill, late of this city, deceased. She has left a disconsolate mother and sister to lament her death. On Tuesday her remains were interred in the Presbyterian burial-ground, attended by a respectable concourse of citizens.
Died lately in Virginia, Captain Nathaniel Sherburne, of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
In Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Mrs. Eunice Adams, consort of the Hon. Nathaniel Adams, Esq.
In Boston, Mrs. Mary Gore, wife of Mr. Samuel Gore.

NEW-YORK, October 13.
The sudden and tremendous fall of Robespierre and his adherents, who constituted the late ruling power in the National Convention of France, is an event which cannot fail to produce much speculation. This man's greatness had
spring from the regenerating principle in France. It had nourished, like the "Green Bay Tree."—Its branches were far extended, and its roots were numerous, and deep and strong. Torn from its standing by a Revolutionary Tornado, the adjacent forest must have shared largely in the breach. The breach was sudden and it was speedily supplied. The same expectations, with equal duties, will devolve on their Successors, who have fallen in this catastrophe, while the astonished world will be din'd with the replicated enormities of Robespierre, the Tyrant, and his accomplices. But the sagacity of that Nation must exceed even their valour, to find those men, whom power and talents may not transform to the disposition of those, who, in dreadful succession, have made their exit on the fatal scaffold of the GUILLOTINE.
Among the disciples of aristocracy, in Paris, the name of Thomas Paine appears. We do not hear that the crime of this great man is any other than his being an Englishman.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
10 Thermidor, Monday July 28.
Nine in the Morning.
The department of Paris and the Revolutionary Tribunal came to the bar to congratulate the Convention on having saved their country. The members of the tribunal were ordered to go and receive the orders of the committee of public safety and return to their post.
Sijas, not being apprehended, was outlawed.
Deliege, formerly a member of the legislative assembly, was appointed President of the second section of the revolutionary tribunal; and the tribunal was ordered to proceed without delay against the conspirators, who being outlawed, to indictify their persons was all that was necessary for their condemnation.
A number of addresses of congratulation were received.
Santerre appeared at the bar. He said he had been the victim of Robespierre's oppression; that his fetters were now broken; and that his only ambition was to be useful to his country, he cared not in what situation. He was admitted to the honours of the sitting.
Dubarran announced that Henriot was taken.
The minutes of this day and yesterday's sitting were ordered to be printed, and sent to all the communes of the Republic.
Decreed, that the sections of Paris had never ceased to deserve well of their country.
Barrere made a long report on all the circumstances of the conspiracy, and concluded by proposing a proclamation, which was adopted, ordered to be printed, and sent by extraordinary Couriers to all the departments, and all the armies of the Republic.
The convention then proceeded with the ordinary business till four o'clock, when the sitting was suspended.
LONDON, August 13.
STATE PAPER.
Manifesto of the Emperor of Germany, for letting his troops enter Poland, distributed by his Majesty's order by Count Harnoncourt, Commander in Chief of the Austrian troops, to the Inhabitants of Poland.
Whereas his Imperial Majesty cannot behold with an indifferent eye the troubles which have arisen in Poland, which might have dangerous consequences for the safety and tranquility of the countries belonging to his Majesty. He has given me orders to repair with the troops under my command to the Polish territory, in order, that, by so doing, not only all the dangers will be averted from the frontiers of Gallicia but that the
tranquility and safety of the countries of his Majesty the Emperor be consolidated. In consequence the public has been apprized, that those who shall behave peaceably, friendly, modestly and consistently to the Austrian soldiers, will have to expect mighty protection and safety, both of their own persons, their estates and property; those on the contrary, who shall go so far as to render themselves guilty of an inconsiderate resistance, will bring upon themselves all the severity of martial law.
(Signed)
JOSEPH COUNT HARNONCOURT.
Head-Quarters Wielowitsch, June 30, 1794.
A letter from Bergen-op-Zoom, August 11, states—
Sluys is still safe. Besides batteries of brass and iron ordnance there is a sufficiency of men to command the works. The cannon exceed 400.
We daily expect large bodies of Prussian and Austrian troops. They are to proceed according to accounts, to Bois-le-Duc. Some have already arrived.
A report is prevalent that the Prince of Cobourg has totally defeated the French near Maestricht that four thousand have fallen that there are many prisoners, and that between two and three thousand of the Liegeois were put to death—because they fired upon the Austrians from the windows, when they lately took the town.
The island of Cadland has been evacuated by the French. The dysentery makes such ravages in their army; that from 30 to 40 wagons full of prisoners are sent to the hospitals of Bruges and Ghent daily.
A similar epidemic disease has broken out at Courtray. This is the natural consequence of pillage, and the want of discipline.
Antwerp has been plundered of its most precious effects, and the superb pictures, painted by Rubens, are all sent to France.
In East Flanders the French patrols have shown themselves within a league and a half of Hulst, and on the side of Bergen-op-Zoom.
Some of the French have advanced to Offendrecht, where they commit incredible excesses.
The Duke of York's Head quarters are still at Nispel, near Breda. The French appear to have their head quarters at Hoogstraten.
Prince Frederick of Orange has established his head quarters at Breda.
The Prince of Hesse-Darmstadt has taken the command of the fortress of Hulst, in Flanders where, however none of the enemy have yet appeared, except some patrols at the advanced post of Sandberg.
The inhabitants of Guernsey and Jersey are in a state of perturbation respecting an expected invasion of those islands, the French have promised to visit and take them into their protection before the end of a month!
August 19.
From our correspondent at Edinburgh, we yesterday received a letter, acquainting us, that a Russian fleet of 10 sail of the line and 4 frigates had arrived in the mouth of Dvina on the 14th inst.
An officer was sent on shore, who on Friday landed at Leith, for the purpose of taking in some fresh provisions.
The coast of Scotland was the place of their destination. There they were to wait till they received further orders from the Court of Petersburg.
Various speculations have been made on the ultimate object of this fleet: and one of the following objects seems to be the real one—The Empress either is aware of a rupture with the Porte, and intends this fleet for the Mediterranean, or she thinks it necessary to add strength to her naval force in the Baltic. On the eve of her last war with Sweden, she found means to bring 5 line of battle ships into the Baltic, for which the Court of Stockholm was very much blamed.
The present fleet consists wholly of new ships, built at Archangel, and, it is supposed the Danish and Swedish fleets have been fitted out to oppose their entrance.
If this supposition be well founded, the Empress will be obliged to send her whole strength into the Baltic, to conduct them through the Sound, in defiance of the combined fleets of Sweden and Denmark.
If they do not enter the Baltic, then it is put beyond a doubt, that the Empress either is aware of a certain rupture with the Turks, or intends at last to come forward with vigor against the French.
This last seems very unlikely, as the Empress's assistance would be much more useful by land than by sea.

SONNET.
By Mrs. MARRIOT.
The lucent moon beams o'er each hill, And shines upon yon ruin drear, Now Philomela weeps her fill, And gives to Cynthia all her care. Ye sighing breezes gently blow Steal fragrance from the woodbine bower And Cupid with thy golden bow, Reign o'er the soft bewitching hour. Ye sylphs and fairies all attend And follow me to yonder grove, There will I bid the muse descend And sing the mighty power of love. Which fills my breast with pungent pain And yet I hug the tyrant's chain.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 14.
The army has marched from Carlisle—a gentleman who was present at the time counted the horse—they amounted to thirteen hundred—about eleven hundred troops have arrived at Carlisle, since the main army left it.
A ship and a brig arrived at the Port this morning—the ship is supposed to be the George Barclay.
