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 it 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 Tories nor republicans—They love liberty as Englishmen, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced.
acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealous of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.

For the Gazette of the United States,
Mr. Fenno, As the event of the French keeping Christmas at Amsterdam has been predicted with a degree of exultation—and as the news of our allies the Dutch passing under the yoke of our allies the French, will probably be published as Glorious Intelligence by some of the neutral printers of this natural country, the following extract from a Laningburgh paper may not be an unseasonable hint—more especially as during our late conflict with Great Britain, those who risked an halter in supporting our liberties and independence, considered this country as under great obligations to the United Provinces, for the treaty they formed with us, the loans they made us, and the losses they incurred by entering into the war in consequence of the connection they entered into with the United States—In addition to these considerations it is highly probable, that there is no event that could happen in Europe, which would be more destructive to our merchants than the reduction of the United Provinces by France—after all, as the re-vi-vongers assure us, that the Dutch impatiently expect the French, and without doubt with them to carry off into France all their superfluous cash, and other moveable property, there will be the greatest propriety in publishing their successes in Holland as " Glorious News ." Yours
NEUTRALITY.
The Extract We have seen the hand bill from the Register at Albany, containing the " Glorious News " but are not a little chagrined that so pompous a bill should be uttered upon the public, from a mere paragraph, in an eastern paper, made up from a third hand report, communicated by Mr. —, who had it from Capt. —, who had it from somebody; and even, were this said glorious news true, where is the room for Americans to rejoice? Is it forsooth because one of the European nations, most friendly to this country, has been over-run and conquered by another nation, for whom we have the highest regard? Our opinion does not tally with this idea; the only Glorious news we can expect from Europe, is a termination to their present differences, a peace that shall reconcile all the jarrings between the belligerent powers; give to each, and the individuals who compose them, all those invaluable rights and privileges which they are entitled to, in virtue of the charter, granted them by God and Nature.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
January 20, 1795.
Debate on Mr. Giles motion respecting Titles. (Continued.)
Mr. Lee said he was very sorry that the present subject had been so long agitated—he never viewed it as important—but a degree of importance had been now given to it by the calling of the yeas and nays.
Under these circumstances it appeared to him very well calculated, to impress on the public mind, that there was a real danger of the establishment of nobility or aristocratic orders in this country; and that those who voted against this motion, were friendly to such a change in our political system; and that those who voted for it were the only true patriots. He trusted so much to the liberality of the mover, as to rely that he neither meant unnecessarily to alarm the public mind, nor intended to inflict a stigma on those gentlemen who from an opinion of the frivolity and inefficacy of the motion, should vote against it. Mr. Lee would therefore impute the motion to the most laudable zeal to guard the public liberty. And on this ground it would be necessary to enquire what was the danger which existed, which this provision was intended to protect us from. The gentleman must have felt great alarm, or he would not have introduced it. Mr. Lee said when he looked through the constitution and laws of the United States, and particularly when he considered the constitutions and laws of the respective states, that he could not see the shadow of a foundation to build an alarm upon. As to mere empty names, as to founders —we must be very corrupt; we must be very ignorant if we could be alarmed by them. And in this free country, every man had a right to call himself by what name or title he pleased:—and if the mover thought proper to change his name for any other name, founder , or title , it would neither add to, nor diminish his real worth and importance—it would not give qualities to his heart, which he had not before, nor detract from those he had. What were the mischiefs experienced in Europe
from privileged orders—they did not flow from the names by which those orders were distinguished; they arose from the exclusive preference and privileges, which those orders possessed, in political rights, and in property. Without these their titles would have been mere empty gewgaws, ridiculous in the extreme, and unworthy of the acceptance of any man of common sense. Titles then did not produce the mischiefs—but the privileges annexed to titles. Mr. Lee had said, in this country every man had a right to call himself by what name or title he pleased: but here no mischief could result from it, because neither political rank nor property could be attached to titles. Every citizen was equal to his fellow-citizen in political rights; and the laws of the respective states had wisely provided that property could not be accumulated in such a degree in the hands of individuals, as to give them an improper influence in the society. By the equal distribution of estates, individuals are prevented from being so rich, as to trample upon the necks of their equals. Great accumulations of property are more likely in fact to introduce these effects of aristocracy, than the ridiculous names by which individuals may be distinguished. It was a slander upon the fundamental laws and political institutions of our country, to suppose that a few aliens, because they had possessed titles in foreign countries, after having renounced their allegiance to those countries, even if they were disposed to do it, could as it were by magic overturn the established habits of our people, and the liberty of the government into which they had incorporated themselves. The body of our citizens were too enlightened, too virtuous for Mr. L. to apprehend any danger from so trivial a cause. If our citizens were so corruptible, and so easily corrupted, we must relinquish the idea of ever being fit to maintain a free and republican government. But our citizens can distinguish between found and reality . When we passed the ex post facto law, it was said that the name was odious; but the legislature having a proper confidence in the understanding of the community, did not hesitate to pass it, because it was a just and necessary one. If nobility should ever unfortunately be introduced into this country (to which at present every circumstance is hostile, and which Mr. L. believed impossible, as long as we adhere to our present fundamental laws and virtuous habits) it would be from internal corruption, and not because a few foreigners, who possessed titles in their native countries, may become citizens of this. This in fact can have no privilege among us in consequence of any foreign title; but must exist in perfect equality in all social rights with the rest of our citizens.
But his colleague objected to the qualities of their hearts. To find out the heart of any man, would be a difficult task. We are liable to be deceived by every description of men. The professions of over zealous patriots do not always secure us from their treason, or we should not so frequently in history, read of Catilines and Cæsars, or lately have witnessed the tyranny of a Robespierre. All these men were once flaming patriots. And if zealous patriots can turn traitors and tyrants, was it not as possible for the members of a foreign privileged order to become a good citizen.—The truth is, professions and abjurations are no certain proofs of the virtue and patriotism of any man. We are secure from the danger, because every citizen here is equal. No privileged orders exist among us, nor can exist, unless the people shall choose to change their present constitutions and laws, which is not to be expected.
Mr. L. said, if he understood his colleague, his strongest reason why a foreign nobleman could not become a good citizen, was the education he had received; the superiority which he had been accustomed to exercise over his fellow men, and the servile court he had been accustomed to receive from them. It was then, the corrupting relation of lord and vassal, which rendered him an unfit member of an equal republican government. Mr. Lee feared that this reasoning applied to the existing relation of master and slave in the southern country, (rather a more degrading one than even that of lord and vassal) would go to prove that the people of that country were not qualified to be members of our free republican government. But he knew that this was not the case. Though in that house the members from the state of Virginia, held persons in bondage, he was sure that their hearts glowed with a zeal as warm for the equal rights and happiness of men, as gentlemen from other parts of the union where such degrading distinctions did not exist. He rejoiced, that notwithstanding the unfavourable circumstances
of his country in this respect, the virtue of his fellow-citizens shone forth equal to that of any other part of the nation.
Mr. Lee was afraid that the force of his colleague's reasoning might be extended to throw an improper imputation on the virtue of his countrymen, which he was sure could not be intended. But Mr. Lee did not think that the Citizens in the south had any right to assume a superiority in political virtue, over their fellow citizens to the east. He claimed to be equal, not to be behind them in sufficient glory. Mr. L. did not know but the proposition, if it had any effect, which he very much doubted, might collaterally affect the rights to property, which in the course of time, might devolve to aliens in the countries from which they came, which he believed, his colleague could not intend.
In fine Mr. L. until the yeas and nays were called, had viewed the proposition as perfectly unimportant and frivolous. The calling of the yeas and nays had in his mind given it some importance: he believed that it was calculated, but he trusted that it was not intended to spread an alarm; a false alarm that aristocracy was coming to swallow us up; and to hold up certain gentlemen who had opposed it as friends to such a system. Under such impressions, though he was personally very indifferent whether it was agreed to or not, he felt it his duty to vote against it; not being willing to countenance any measure by which groundless and unjust alarms, jealousies and suspicions might be excited, and viewing it as nugatory in the extreme.
Debate to be continued.
DEBATE
IN THE NATIONAL CONVENTION, On the Decree for abolishing the "SELF-CREATED" SOCIETIES IN FRANCE.
Translated from the "Courier François" for this Gazette.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, October 16.
Delmas, organ of the Committees of public safety, general surety, and legislation united, proposed the following decree. [Here follows the decree respecting clubs—See Gazette of the 3d inst.] The discussion was animated on the project of this decree.
Pellet, acknowledged that the project contained some excellent dispositions; but he engaged to oppose others of them which he considered as contrary to the rights of the people—He demanded that the decree should be printed, and the discussion adjourned.
Thibeudeau, knew not how any one dared to interdict to the aggregations of freemen, the faculty or right of communicating among themselves. He maintained, that if the popular societies have departed from their principles, and if they have taken an active part in the Government, it is the Government itself which has been the cause of it.
He asked, if they had passed their limits, whether they ought never to return—he took occasion to demand a revision of the law of 17th of Sept.
Perès, maintained, that the project of the Committees did not contain the question, whether Government ought not to be submitted to by all the Citizens, individually. He proved, that if these societies had been powerful enough to overturn the throne, and the monarchy, they are not less so to destroy liberty; since by their aid, Robespierre attained to supremacy in the Republic, which he covered with blood and carnage; and, by the help of the same clubs, he raised himself above the national representation.
Rewbell, demanded why, after having passed laws the most terrible against the correspondencies of the administrations and authorities constituted for the safety of the Republic, to stifle all federalism, they should suffer the most monstrous and the most dangerous of all federations?
Bentabolle, said that the worst deception, alone dictated the objections against the decree; and as you would not with the loss of liberty, you will not suffer two centers in the Republic; which then laid he, I demand of the people do you prefer—[The convention, The Convention cried all the tribunes.]
Bourdon de L'Oise—also supported these principles, from which he accused the opposers of the decree, of having strangely departed. He compared the existing societies to collections of men who like the ancient monks chose some individual to speak in their name; he added that he did not know in the uni-
verse of an aristocracy more constant and more bitter than that.
He re-produced his ideas upon the low countries, and he asserted that the decree once adopted, the Belgians, who with all other people, love liberty, would no longer balance about receiving what they presented them. Applauded. They demanded the question with one voice. A great part of the assembly rose. Another part denounced Bourdon in a most violent manner. Your outrages and your imprecations do not affright me said he—Applauded resounded through the hall.
Crassous, accused in his turn the partisans of the Committees of having spoken contradictions the most evident, (which he did not prove)—he concluded however by confessing that the correspondence in their collective name ought not to exist.
Dubanan said that the project is unjust, impolitic and liberticidal—he demanded a previous adjournment of the question.
Different members spoke pro and con, with equal warmth. At length the adjournment was lost by the order of the day—and notwithstanding the most animated opposition of some members, the project was decreed, article by article—with the addition only to the first article of the words, "in their collective name" after that of Correspondence. The session terminated by the cry, a thousand times repeated of Vive la Republique .

LONDON, October 19.
Extract of a letter from Edinburgh, October 15.
"Yesterday, about half past one o'clock, the two junior magistrates, with white rods in their hands, white gloves, &c. the Rev. Principal Baird, and a number of Constables, attended by the town officers, and the city-guards lining the streets, walked in procession from the Council Chamber to the east end of the Castle-hill, when a message was sent to the Sheriff in the Castle, that they were there waiting to receive Mr. Watts. The prisoner was immediately placed on a hurdle, with his back to the horse, and the executioner, with a large axe in his hand, took his seat opposite to him, at the further end of the hurdle.
"The procession then set out from the Castle, the sheriffs walking in front, with white rods in their hands, white gloves, &c. a number of County Constables surrounding the hurdle, and the military keeping off the crowd. In this manner they proceeded, till they joined the magistrates, when the military returned to the Castle, and then the procession was conducted in the following order: The City Constables, Town Officers bare headed, Baillie Lothian and Baillie Dalrymple, Rev. Principal Baird, Mr. Sheriff Clerk and Mr. Sheriff Davidson, a number of County Constables, the hurdle, painted black, and drawn by a white horse, a number of County Constables.
"The City guards lined the streets to keep off the crowd. When they had reached the Tolbooth door, the prisoner was taken from the hurdle and conducted into the prison, where a considerable time was spent in devotional exercises. The prisoner then came out upon the platform, attended by the Magistrates, the Sheriffs, the Principal Baird, &c. Some time was then spent in prayer and singing psalms; after which the prisoner mounted the drop board, and was launched into eternity.
"When the body was taken down, it was stretched upon a table, and the executioner, with two blows of the axe, severed the head, which was received into a basket, and then held up to the multitude, while the executioner called aloud, "There is the head of a traitor, and so perish all traitors." The body and head were then placed in a coffin, and removed.
"Never was any execution conducted with more solemnity and order. The procession advanced with slow steps, and the prisoner exhibited a most melancholy spectacle. He held a bible in his hand, his eyes remained in a fixed posture upwards, and he was not observed to make one movement, or cast a single glance upon the multitude. He was much emaciated, and his countenance so pale, that while on the way to the execution, he appeared almost lifeless; but when he came upon the platform, he seemed to be somewhat revived, and

himself during the awful solemnity with due resignation. A great crowd attended the execution; but it was observable that there appeared less sympathy towards the unfortunate sufferer than is usually manifested upon similar occasions."
LEYDEN, October 16. The events of the campaign on the Lower Rhine have entirely broken off the communication by post. For eight days we have had no letters from Mannheim, Dusseldorf, or Cologne. We receive none even from Nimwegen, nor that part of Gueldres which borders on Cleve; the French had not entered it on the 11th, although great preparations of defence were making at Wesel, now the point of the union between the division of the Austrian army under the command of General Werneck, and the army commanded by the Duke of York, the greater part of which then occupied Nimwegen and the environs. In the little districts bordering on Cleve, the principality of Meurs on the one side, and Cayk on the other, the French were levying contributions of provisions and forage, &c. General Moreau, who commands a division of General Pichegru's army, had his head-quarters at Merel, near Venlo.
The General who commands the French troops in the district of Breda, has ordered an account to be given in of every thing furnished there by requisition, in order, as we are assured, to pay for the same by bills on the House of the widow Neffine and Sons at Brussels.

The French Commandant, in the Barony of Breda, demanded at Hoeben, Etten, and other villages, a list of every thing to be furnished to the French army, by way of requisition; these requisitions are to be paid for by bills of exchange upon the House of the widow Neffine and Sons at Brussels; which bills will be signed by two generals, and paid to the respective municipalities. Some of the Commissioners of the Convention informed the Assembly at Paris, of some acts of violence committed by the French advanced guard upon some villages, and we learn that the commanding officers are made responsible for these acts.
Both Flanders and Brabant have already their Representatives in the Convention, but the French Constitution has not yet been introduced in those provinces.
It is now certain, that our troops will evacuate the whole of Dutch Flanders. The regiments of Orange, Nassau, Stadt and Land, will be quartered here, and the rest of the troops and the cavalry are already shipped for Amsterdam.
UTRECHT, Oct. 16.
A gentleman who left Bois-le-Duc the same day as the Dutch garrison gives the following account of the circumstances that preceded, and followed its surrender:
On Thursday Oct. 9, the town was surrendered for the last time; and at night a capitulation was agreed upon, but not signed before Friday night, the fate of the French emigrants having caused that delay. The article of the covered vessels and wagons was rejected. Saturday at noon the French commissioners came within the town, and dined with the governor; they received the inventories of the magazines and arsenals, on which they put their seals, and specifications of all the provisions to be found in the houses of the Burghers were drawn up. Sunday morning the French relieved the Dutch guard, and about three thousand of them entered the town. It had been agreed upon, that they should not be quartered in the Burgher's houses, but in the barracks, these, however not being quite ready for their reception, they remained with the inhabitants. At eleven o'clock the same morning, the garrison marched out with all the honors of war, colours flying.
On their march to Grave, they passed by about 10,000 French, whose advanced posts were but half a league distant from that place. The next following day they continued their march through Nimwegen to Arnheim, where they still remained. Several French emigrants, who, in various disguises had left Bois-le-Duc with the Dutch garrison were apprehended by the republicans, and sent back into the town. During the siege five houses are said to be burnt down, and fifty men killed in the place.
The following order was published by the French General, Lefevre, at Nentz:
Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Head-quarters, at Neufs, 20th Vendemiaire (October 11th,) 3d year of the French Republic, one and indivisible. The National Convention has passed a decree, by which the conquered territories are put under the special protection of the Republic, by ordering that property, persons, established usages and customs, public worship, and in general the mode and officers of government shall be respected and protected. "I therefore call upon you, warriors, to observe the duty which this order and mutual fraternity impose upon you. Treat the peaceable inhabitants of these countries as your representatives desire order, magnanimity and honour ought to be your guides in the glorious career you are pursuing, and the inhabitants of the countries into which you enter, will soon be your brothers and friends. Above all, disturb not their ecclesiastical and nobles who shall peaceably exercise their functions. I have a firm confidence, citizens, that each of you will be eager to observe punctiliously the law, set forth in the present order, but, if contrary to all expectation, any person should violate it in any way whatever, he will infallibly, and without hope of pardon, incur the punishment of death. (Signed) The general Commanding a division of the French army. LEFEVRE."

DUBLIN, October 25. Extract of a letter from Cork, Oct. 22. "The Penelope, Cap. Thomas, is just arrived from Gibraltar, which place he left the 30th September. At the time of his coming away, two frigates passed close by him having the national colours flying with the English flag over them; he saw also, eight or ten much larger vessels with the same colours at a distance in the Bay, going in."
Letters have been lately received in Scotland, stating the death of Muir on his passage to Botany-Bay. Palmer and Mar-garet at the time were in good health. It was yesterday reported on the authority of some letters from London, received by the last mail, that it had been decided at a meeting of their high Mightinesses, the States General of the United Provinces, on the 13th of this month, to make overtures for peace to the French Convention, on any conditions that can be obtained short of a dereliction of the Dutch constitution, and of the great act of union of 1579. These accounts add, that this determination of the States General had been officially transmitted to the British ministers.
October 27. A letter from Rotterdam to a merchant of this city, by the mails which arrived here yesterday, contains the important intelligence that the French had embarked a large body of troops on the Scheldt at Phillipine, and made good a landing on the great Island of South Beveland, of which they have made themselves masters, which movements cut off all communication at Bergen-op-Zoom with Middleburg and Flushing. The landing on South Beveland took place on the 14th of this month. There are also advices from Amsterdam of the 19th October, that represent the state of public credit having fallen to so low an ebb, that bank money on that day would bring nothing more than 73 per cent. It is, however, no small consolation to find, that the British funds, so far from being affected by the disastrous condition of affairs in Holland, that they appear from the last quotation to be looking up; the consols, which had fallen under 64, having on Tuesday last been done on the stock Exchange at 64 5-8.
UNITED STATES.
SPRINGFIELD, Dec. 30.
We hear from Williamstown that the following melancholy event occurred there on Thursday last. A young man, by the name of Daniel Phelps, aged about 18 years, stood by a fire side with a loaded gun, incautiously resting his chin upon the muzzle of it: a lad, who was near, took hold of the trigger, the gun was not cocked but instantly discharged its contents into head of Mr. Phelps; immediate death was the consequence.
COMMUNICATION.
The man who steals alone a bushel of wheat, or other necessary, even if to contribute to the support of the indigent, is, by common consent, consigned to perpetual infamy; while the relentless conqueror becomes an object of respect and admiration, if, at the head of a numerous banditti, he destroys thousands of lives, deprives millions of the means of comfortable subsistence, and reduces them to wretchedness beggary and chains. So too, in private life, the calumniator is deservedly shunned as a pest. But are there not men who, when clubbed together, have acquired popularity by calumniating the public servants the magistrates and the laws? In some parts of the United States fashion has made a wonderful abuse of words. By a patriot, is understood one who is not friendly to our system of government, and who is the tool of Genet, who was the tool of the Jacobins in Paris. By a Republican, not one who supports the only principle by which republicanism can at all exist, that the will of the majority, as expressed by the representatives of the people, must be obeyed, but one who opposes the constituted authorities of the people, and who
will at least countenance a lawless mob for tarring and feathering, and burning in effigy a faithful public servant, who has dared to act honestly, in despite of ignorance and vice. A federalist—one who is in continual opposition to all federal men and federal measures. The People—those only (perhaps a thousand in number) who meet in clubs and modestly assume the functions of instructors of the people, and governors of their government. Liberty consists in the right of these modest club-bills to do as they please, and to oblige every body else to do so likewise.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7.
The papers by the ship Young Eagle, it will be observed do not furnish European dates so late as those received via Charlestown, consequently contain nothing more in general than details of old events. Under the London head of Oct. 25, it is mentioned that Paris to Oct. 11, are received—but we have been for some time past in possession of papers from that city to the 21st of the same month. The scattered Intelligence by the late arrivals however informs us further, of a conspiracy at Vienna—in the paragraph file—of overtures for peace with France on the part of the King of Sardinia and Duke of Tuscany—of a separate peace with the King of Prussia, leaving the Dutch to their fate—that the Duke Regent of Sweden is about operating a Revolution in that Government, and that he means to attack Prussia—that the Poles continue to be successful—that the Insurgents in South Prussia have spread terror among their Invaders—at the introduction of a British Garrison into Amsterdam and cutting the Dykes was violently opposed by the merchants, who intreated the Regency to put their confidence in the Burghers.
That the whole of Flanders is evacuated by the English, Dutch, and Hanoverians—None of the preceding articles are Official, nor are they stated as positive Facts.
Excepting the preceding Paragraphs, we do not observe anything interesting by the Dublin papers—and on a recurrence to the news by the October Packet, and other channels since, it will appear that the long interval in our European Intelligence is the only circumstance that gives any novelty to the long columns received by this arrival.
The Letter of the Prisoners from the Western Counties, to Captain John Dunlap, which has been published in the papers, a correspondent observes, is a complete refutation of the Slanders which have been vomited forth in the Aurora, against the Officers who conducted those prisoners to this city.
An article under the Paris head of the 21st Oct. as published in the Courier Francaise of yesterday says—"It is rumoured that Spain wishes to enter on negotiations for peace; it is added that an envoy has arrived here (Paris) from the Court of Madrid; we are not officially informed of this, but it is very certain that since the Jacobins have lost their influence, the number of our enemies is diminished in the interior of the Republic, & that the French government acquires abroad a preponderance so great as to alarm & disconcert the coal-ecled Powers."
On Tuesday the 23rd ult. the body of Mr. John Henry, one of the late managers of the old American Theatre, was deposited in a vault in the grave-yard of St. James's Church at Bristol; divine service being performed on the occasion by the Rev. Mr. Abercrombie.
Mr. Henry died on the 16th of October last in the 48th year of his age, on his passage from New-York to Rhode Island, and was interred on the following evening at Fisher's Island, from whence he was removed to Bristol. His death was sudden and unexpected: He was summoned to his audit "in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye."
If fortitude and patience in many trying situations of life; if singleness of heart and benevolence of disposition; the most affectionate attention to the welfare and happiness of his family, and of all who looked up to him for assistance and protection—virtues resulting from a confirmed faith in divine revelation—can obtain the reward of a blissful eternity, we may with confidence turn from the mouldering mansion where his body slumbers, and consider his spirit as translated to those glorious regions, "where the wicked cease from troubling, and where tears shall be wiped from every eye." AN OLD SOLDIER.
Mr. Henry was a native of Ireland, and was educated at Trinity-College Dublin; he served under General Burgoyne in Portugal, and was for some time in the suite of the Duke of Northumberland, while Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He came to America in a Dramatic character in the year 1767, and distinguished himself, some years after, in several principal characters at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, under the tuition of the late celebrated Mr. Thomas Sheridan.
As eminent talents are not always associated with the virtues of the heart; it must afford pleasure to every liberal and candid mind, to contemplate them united in a man who was one of the founders of the American Theatre, and who thereby conferred on it both credit and respectability; and every judicious admirer of the Drama must acknowledge and lament that Mr. Henry's death has diminished the public stock of harmless pleasure, and of rational entertainment.
We are informed that the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES intends honoring the exhibitions at the THEATRE this evening with his presence.
Monday the 5th instant the following gentlemen were elected Directors of the Bank of the United States, for the ensuing year, viz:

COMMUNICATION.
The Post Office Department is become an object of the greatest importance to the people and government of the United States—Congress from time to time have passed laws for the better organization and extension of the system. New channels of information have been opened, and the Post-Towns now amount to upwards of five hundred. Letters and intelligence are conveyed with expedition and punctuality, to the remotest parts of the Union. This extension of the posts, is one of the wisest and most patriotic measures of the government. While it conduces to disseminating information, it affords the people an opportunity to compare the publications which appear against and in favor of the administration of their own government, and to judge for themselves—at the same time the general information conveyed, enlightens satisfies and tranquilizes the public mind. Under the direction of the late Post Master-General these arrangements have been commenced with great ability and industry, and nearly completed—the prospect which they afford is flattering to the highest degree—and there can be no doubt that a successor in this important office will be appointed who is a man of business, application and integrity—and whose mind is fully impressed with the importance of the great objects connected with this department. One who will prosecute the system of his predecessor with steadiness and firmness; for, so far as has appeared, that system combines general accommodation, with the public interest.
For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. Fenno, You obliged me some time ago by giving my short address to Congressmen on the New Emfition Bills, which I with others, lodged in the Treasury for payment, but as I live hundreds of miles from the seat of government I know not what they have done; but I was very much worried lately by being told it was uncertain whether Congress would pay our bills—however I won't believe Congress will cheat the old Soldiers who took these bills for so much hard money. It would be strange indeed after paying other debts, and millions of state debts, they should now at the winding up of all, refuse to pay this small sum of Bills which carry on them the most sacred promise of the United States—It seems to me impossible for any men with souls in them to do such a thing—and it would be astonishing beyond all things if Congressmen in the high seat of government should so violate all faith to wrong a few poor soldiers out of what is but a small sum in the whole.
Some say nothing is impossible, but I don't believe this is. If there is no faith to old Soldiers, there is no government.—I with Mr. Fenno, you would print this, that he who runs may read. AN OLD SOLDIER.

Letters from Polania, dated the 30th ultimo, state, that the Polish General Madalinski had arrived at Czelina, seven leagues from Posen, with a corps of 5000 men, as a large reinforcement of Insurgents was expected. Measures have been taken to send the military chest to Czelina.
It was reported yesterday that the Insurgents had made themselves masters of Posen.
DUBLIN, October 25.
The French have very little impediment to contend with except the munitions which may be made between Bois-le-Duc and Amsterdam. These it seems, the inhabitants of the country will not submit to, preferring rather such terms as the generosity of the French may dispose them to afford. Of course, it is fair to suppose, that before many weeks elapse they will be in possession of Holland, from one end to the other.
LONDON, October 25.
We were yesterday favoured with the Paris papers of the 9th, 10th, and 11th inst. The moderate party, and the authority of the Convention, are every where gaining ground. The markers of Paris are now abundantly supplied with butter, eggs, meat and other articles that were lately scarce. In the sale of these articles, the price fixed by law is very little attended to, at which the police or the government thinks proper to connive.
On observing some Names of Title Note recorded in the Biographia Britannica.
O Fond attempt to give a deathless lot, To names ignoble, born to be forgot! In vain recorded in historic page, They court the notice of a future age; Those twinkling tiny lustres of the land Drop one by one from fame's neglecting hand! Lethæan gulphs receive them as they fall, And dark oblivion soon absorbs them all;
So when a child, as playful childhood use, Has burnt to tinder a stale last year's news, The flame extinct, he views the roving fire, There goes my lady; and there goes the squire; There goes the parson, O illustrious spark! And there, scarce less illustrious, goes the clerk.

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, As 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 inconsiderately 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.

PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation OF Poole's Synopsis of the Translations of the Bible, And Of The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators Exhibiting at one view, the principal criticisms, and most valuable elucidations of the Scriptures; Illustrations of the ancient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work. It has been matter of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both curious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest entertainment and utility; in which by the Lovers of the learned of various ages and nations, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of modern translations, and the ancient manners, metaphors, allegories, and figures are illustrated, in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most sublime instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophy, in all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man. This work is proposed to the Public on the following CONDITIONS. It is supposed the whole will be completed in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a sufficient number shall be subscribed for, to defray the expense. The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards. No money will be demanded till the first volume shall be completed, when the price of the first and second volumes will be required. When the second volume is finished, the price of the third will be payable;—And when the third volume is finished, the price of the fourth must be paid. The price of such copies as may not be subscribed for will be raised 25 per cent. Dec. 13. saw tf
