THE FALL OF ROBESPIERRE. An Historic Drama—by S. T. C. Coleridge, of Jesus College, Cambridge, Bvo.
THE fall of Robespierre was an event of the greatest importance to the affairs of France, and is a very proper subject for the tragic muse. It may, however, be thought by some to be too recent an event to admit of that contrivance which is essentially necessary in unravelling the plot of the drama. Indeed, we have been informed, that the work before us was the production of a few hours' exercise, and must, therefore, not be expected to finish very strongly of the lamp. Several parts too being necessarily made up of such reports of the French Convention, as have already been collected through the medium of Newspapers, may be expected to have little of the charms of novelty.
By these free remarks, we mean not to under-rate Mr. Coleridge's historic drama. It affords ample testimony, that the writer is a genuine votary of the MUSE, and several parts of it will afford much pleasure to those who can relish the beauties of poetry. Indeed a writer who could produce so much beauty, in so little time, must possess powers that are capable of raising him to a distinguished place among the English poets.
In the first act, the scene lies in the Thuilleries. Barrere is first introduced thus speaking of Robespierre:
"The tempest gathers—be it mine to seek A friendly shelter, ere it bursts upon him. But where? and how? I fear the tyrant's soul—"
Sudden in action, fertile in resource, And rising awful 'mid impending ruins; In splendor gloomy as the midnight meteor, That fearless thwarts the elemental war. When last in secret conferences we met, He scowl'd upon me with suspicious rage, Making his eye the inmate of my bosom. I know he loons me—and I feel, I bate him—
Yet there is in him that which makes me tremble!
The following speech of Legendre has much beauty in it. He is speaking of Barrere.
"Perfidious traitor—still afraid to blast In the full blaze of power, the rustling serpent Lurks in the thicket of the Tyrant's greatness, Ever prepar'd to sting who shelters him. Each thought, each action in himself conceal'd, And love and friendship on his coward heart Shine like the power less sun on polar ice: To all attract'd, by turns deferring all, Cunning and dark—a necessary villain!"
The following speech of Robespierre is in the true style of this species of composition:
"What! did La Fayette fall before my pow'r? And did I conquer Roland's spotless virtues? The fervent eloquence of Vergniaud's tongue? And Brissot's thoughtful soul unbrav'd and bold? Did zealot armies baste in vain to save them? What! did the assassin's dagger aim its point Vain, as a dream of murder, at my bosom? And shall I dread the soft luxurious Talien? The Adonis Talien! banquet-hunting Talien? Him, whose heart flutters at the dice-box? Him,"
Who ever on the scaffold's downy pillow Refuses his proud inquisitor a smile.
This drama consists only of three acts, of which the first is by far the most finished. The third act closes beautifully:
"The last worst traitor triumph'd—d—d—unpunish'd long, Secur'd by matchless villainy. By turns Defending and deserting each accomplice As interest prompted. In the goodly foil Of Freedom, one foul tree of treason struck Its deep-seated roots, and drapt the dews of death."
On all who slumber'd in its specious shade. He saw the web of treachery. He caught The lying crowd by his avid eloquence. His cool ferocity that persuad'd murder, Even whilst it spake of mercy! never, never
Shall this regenerated country wear The despot's yoke. Though myriads round assail, And with worse fury urge this new crusade Than savages have known; 'tis the league'd despot Depopulate all Europe, so to pour The accumulated mias upon our coasts, Sublime amid the storm shall France arise, And like the rock amid surrounding waves Repel the rushing ocean. She shall avoid The thunder-bolt of vengeance—she shall blast The despot's pride, and liberate the world!"
SONNET.—FROM SHAKESPEARE.
O, God! methinks it were a happy lot To be no better than a homely swain, The peaceful tenant of a little cot, The blithe companion of the village train! Where cares, mistrust, and treason banish sleep, See on his glitt'ring couch the monarch laid; While the poor swain, encircled by his sheep, Securely slumbers in the hawthorn shade: To tend his flock is all his worldly care; To rest and sport alternate hours are given, Save when religion claims the pause of prayer, And meditation wafts the soul to Heaven.
Unruffled flows the tenor of his day, Till TIME's white honours o'er his temples wave, And re-signation, smiling 'midst decay, Through NATURE's path conduct him to the grave!
King Henry VI.
From Thomas's Massachusetts SPY, &c.
THE NEIGHBOUR.—No. xcviii.
For let the witting argue all he can, It is Religion still that makes the man.
'Tis this my friend, that breaks our morning bright; 'Tis this, that gilds the horrors of our night. When wealth forsakes us, and when friends are few; When friends are faithless, or when foes pursue; 'Tis this that wards the blow, or stills the smart; Diarms affliction, or repels its dart; Within the breast bards purest rapture rise; Bids smiling conscience spread her cloudless skies.
When the storm thickens, and the thunder rolls, When the earth trembles to th' affrighted poles; The virtuous mind nor doubts nor fears assail; For storms are zephyrs, or a gentler gale. And when disease obstruces the labouring breath, When the heart sickens, and each pulse is death; Ev'n then Religion shall sustain the just, Grace their last moments, nor desert their dust."
"RELIGION is good in its place,"
said Sufannah Perly, as she was trudging along through the mud, accompanying her mother to an evening lecture. "Religion is good in its place." And where is its place? said I. "Not in the church," said she, "out of the proper season, especially in dark nights, and when only an illiterate fellow comes to tell us that we can be saved without religion as well as with: for my part, I can see no religion in it."
Repress your curiosity, gentle reader; I am not going to inform you whether I discouraged Miss Perly from going to the lecture, or galled her there; whether she was right or wrong in her notions of religion; nor shall I undertake the needless task of proving either that the sun is necessary to produce a cheerful day, or that religion is necessary to produce happiness. I profess myself the friend of man, and therefore the friend of religion, which is the same to the foul, that health and food are to the body.
I have been much entertained with The History of the French Revolution. The nameless author, though not a republican in the high sense in which some interpret the word, is, nevertheless, an enemy both to despotism and infidelity, and a friend both to religion and liberty. The serious and candid reader will be pleased with the following extract:
"There is something in true religion which softens the ferocious passions of men: it can arrest the hand of the assassin; it can whisper peace to the perturbed spirit; it rejects the attainment of its end by unlawful means, and fol-
lows rather the dictates of conscience and immediate duty, than the most splendid vision which the imagination may form of distant perfection. This only safeguard of moral principle, the republican philosophers of France uniformly wanted; they were even bigots in infidelity; the throne and the altar were equally obnoxious to them; and many of the excesses into which they plunged may be more properly attributed to their irreligious prejudices, than to any other cause. There is nothing but religion that can impart an uniformity to the moral character. Where expediency is the only rule of conduct, the human mind will naturally indulge in too great a latitude on some occasions, especially where the passions are strongly interested. This perhaps, indeed, is the distinguishing circumstance which marks the two revolutions of America and of France. The Americans were possessed of a strong sense of religion, independent of the necessity of defending themselves; they could not forget that their religion taught them to love their enemies. But the majority of the French nation were uninstructed in this religion, or had rejected its salutary restraints. After all," adds the writer, in a note, "if we would trace calamity in France to its source, we must be forced to confess, that the flimsy writings of that wretched caviller Voltaire, have undone that country."
We earnestly hope the example will operate as a caution to all other governments, and teach them to beware of permitting, with impunity, licentious publications. They may rely upon it, there are no libels so dangerous to a state, as those against God. We venerate, and ever shall venerate, the cause of religious toleration. Every sect which acknowledges a future state of rewards and punishments, is innocuous, if not respectable. But if this great foundation of morality is removed there can be no dependence on the principle or integrity of a people. Let the Horsleys and the Priestleys freely indulge themselves in verbal contests
tells concerning the disputed points of theology; but let every impious scoffer who presumes to aim his destructive shafts at any of the great doctrines of religion, be severely punished, and his writings strictly prohibited. Until this is the case, no government can be safe, nor will it be possible to maintain order, or even common honesty among men."
From the (Baltimore) Intelligencer of May 13.
A correspondent has obligingly favored the Editors of the Federal Intelligencer with the following opinion and decision of Judge Green, of Bermuda, in the case of the Schooner Betty, Captain Wheelwright, the last American vessel tried in the admiralty court of that place. It may help our readers to form a good idea of the real situation of American vessels, captured and carried into that port; and as they are assured that it was copied from the original, it may be relied on as authentic.
PROMULGATION
Of the last admiralty decree in Bermuda
Court of Vice Admiralty, Bermuda.
Having heard, perused and attentively considered the libel of John Nash, commander of the private ship or vessel of war, called the Retriever, in behalf of himself, as well as the officers and crew of the said ship, against a certain Schooner called the Betty, and her cargo, and the claim of Ebenezer Wheelwright, late master of the said Schooner, for the same; and having examined the answers of the said Ebenezer Wheelwright and others, taken on the standing interrogatories, and the several papers and documents exhibited, together with the deposition of said Wheelwright, touching the free intercourse now alleged to be allowed by Commanders of his Majesty's ships to neutrals trading to and from French ports, in the island of Hispaniola—It hath appeared, and will appear to me until I am possessed of better information, that neutral vessels, trading as this vessel hath traded, do come within the verge of a well known and long recognized rule of law.
That such trade is illicit and collusive, that since the conquest and possession of certain places in the late French division of the island of Hispaniola by his Majesty's fleet and army, such trade hath appeared to me an open violation of the good faith that ought to be observed by neutral powers, and a wide departure from that pure neutrality which is required of them by the law of nations. Much has been said, and much remains to be said, respecting the precise definition of siege and blockade: on this subject, as well as on others of the like nature, men will adopt opinions as they are severally affected, and reason agree-
ably to the difference of their views. For instance, in the year 1777, (during the United States of America, rebelled) "that all vessels employed in transporting flour, &c. to the enemy in New-York, should, if taken, be lawful prizes," for otherwise, as was observed, it would be easy for subjects of neutral nations to supply the British at New-York with all things necessary for carrying on the war against America by collusion. The resolve was wise, and the interference obvious; yet probably neither the Admiral of the British fleet, nor the commander in chief of the troops both at that time in New-York, might have granted that they were either besieged or blockaded. The resolve was, notwithstanding, adhered to by Congress, their ships captured neutrals under that rule and their admiralty courts condemned them.—When his Majesty's fleet and army arrived at Hispaniola, for the express purpose of conquest, when many places of strength were carried by their arms, on our side, and the forces of our ally, the King of Spain, seconded British efforts, were mutually pressing forward for the entire reduction of the French part of that island:—And when the French islands (the same formalities perhaps have been omitted) were all decreed in a state of blockade, surely it cannot be held a false conclusion, to consider the French in the island of Hispaniola, equally besieged or blockaded at one period, with the British in New-York at another. On the above principles, among others appearing to me, legal, cogent and obligatory on me, as the judge of a British court, have I condemned the property of those neutrals, who, as I conceive, had clearly aided his majesty's enemies, and by furnishing them with articles, the most essentially necessary, have thereby the better enabled them to carry on the war against his Britannic majesty, and his ally the king of Spain.
It is now averred, and with some semblance of truth, that neutrals trading to French ports in Hispaniola, are not at present interrupted in such intercourse, and that the commanders of his majesty's ships on that station, (probably acting under some legal instruction which has not yet reached this court) do, at this time, suffer neutrals, to trading, to pass unmolested, altho' to their knowledge bound to, or coming from the ports aforesaid; I do, therefore, for the removal of my present doubts, and to the end that solid and impartial justice may be administered, think it prudent to defer a final sentence, or such as in this case might have the face of one, until evidence immediately from, or authenticated by his majesty's officers commanding in chief at the aforesaid island of Hispaniola shall be obtained, hereby granting and allowing 90 days from the date hereof, for procuring such official & authentic information in the premises as this court may deem satisfactory.—And I do, by this my interlocutory order, further direct, that the aforesaid Schooner, so called the Betty, with her boats, tackle, apparel and furniture, together with all and singular her cargo and lading, be delivered to the claimant, he, the said claimant, first giving good and sufficient security for the said property, and further abiding the judgment of this court; and in case the claimant shall refuse to do so, that the said Schooner and her lading be delivered to the said libellants, or to their agent or agents, he or they previously entering in the court the like stipulation.
JOHN GREEN, Judge. Promulged in the Court of Vice-Admiralty, this 25th day April, 1795.
LA VENDEE.
WHATEVER may have been the termination of the efforts of La Vendee, they have been such as to immortalize the name of the District, and of the heroes who have there distinguished themselves. It is proper that The Sun should record it.
When the Constituent assembly parcelled out the Provinces of France, the names of the new divisions were sought in the Geography of the countries that were divided. It was then that the little river of Vendee, muddy, marshy and hitherto unheard of, obtained a place in the National Records, and gave its name to the district which it watered. This division, situated on the south of the river Loire, and in the province heretofore called Poitou, is a rugged and difficult country, covered with thick woods, interspersed with deep morasses. Such is the famous La Vendee; impregnable even to Caesar, from the nature of its soil and the obstinate valor of its people, and still equally averse to tyrants, though fighting in the name of the Republic.
The loyalty of the inhabitants has now consecrated its name to immortality, by rendering it proverbial, since every daring union of invincible heroes, faithful to their God and their king, and terrible to their enemies, will henceforth be called a new La Vendee.
Before their insurrection, the peasants of this district never adopted the opinion generally current in France. Never did

their consciences consent to abjure their religion, or to proscribe their Lords or Priests. When the king escaped, they aimed to support his cause: When their priests were threatened with banishment, they concealed them; and when their Lords were attacked by plunderers, they flew to the rescue of their masters. For a while they were in silent, tho' impatient subjection, with the rest of France, to the galling yoke of the Convention; but when the king was murdered, and the requisition of troops demanded, they lost all patience. At that moment the success of the Allies on the frontiers seemed to offer a favorable opportunity. Those who remained among them, for the purpose of becoming the leaders of the people, now was the time to show themselves. They did so; they exhorted the people, and the insurrection was almost instantaneous. The peasants, armed only with sticks, or with implements of husbandry, fell furiously upon the national guards quartered among them, and by their least supplied themselves with arms, of which they hardly knew the use.
Emboldened by this first success, they visited the neighboring towns, collecting all the Royalists they could find, and arming others. Wherever the republicans made resistance, they destroyed them in their way, forced the prisons, and liberated a number of Priests and many Gentlemen, who became their leaders in new enterprises, and more important victories.
The insurrection, at first a despicable spark, became by degrees a prodigious fire, which could not be extinguished. One hundred and twenty miles of territory were presently lost to the Republic. The old men, the women, the children, and provisions were transported into the impregnable recesses; the approaches to which were guarded by fifty thousand peasants. The Convention in vain decreed soldiers, appointed Generals, and furnished trains of artillery against those whom they denominated banditti, wretches, &c. the latter were always victorious. The unfortunate Generals went from the command to the guillotine, and their cannon to the Royalists, who not knowing how to dispose of them, destroyed and left them.
Such was the origin of the insurrection in La Vendee, which continually astonishes the world with new triumphs, though the heroes by whom they were achieved remained unknown. One Gallon was for a long time supposed to be their leader, and was celebrated in that character, tho' he never existed in the memorial of the Royalists. Their Chiefs wished to remain unknown and therefore created the imaginary General, taking his name from the records of French prowess and chivalry, as one worthy of leading them to glory and to victory.
CHOUANS
THE name of the Chouans that second set of Royalists in France, little less formidable than the first, is often mentioned in the public prints, but few are acquainted with their origin.
The Chouans first appeared in the neighborhood of Fougères in Brittany, precisely at the time when the Royalists of La Vendee crossed the Loire, and threw themselves into that province. The matter of an iron forge, named Chouan, had three sons, who put themselves at the head of the discontented in those parts. Hence their name is derived. At first they gained several advantages, but on the arrival of the Republican army, they were obliged to abandon the plain, and take themselves to the forests, where their enemies could not pursue them. The defeats of the other Royalists strengthened the party of the Chouans, for all those of La Vendee who could escape from the sword of the Republicans, hastened to join the Breton insurgents. Persecuted, and reduced to live the lives of wild beasts in the woods, they became almost as ferocious; while all those who were disgusted by the requisition of their person or property, in those parts, were continually added to their number. They were divided into bands under certain leaders, and, and tho' destitute of every advantage, of money, clothing, provisions, &c. by wonderful courage and perseverance, and almost by miracles, they were able to render themselves formidable.
The Convention Generals affected always to speak contemptuously of them as robbers, banditti, birds of night, &c. but the Convention feared them, and does still; they know they are not quelled, and know not by what means to quell them. They are said to be still increasing.
For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
Mr. PENNO, WE are in a fair way of being involved in a controversy, whether we shall take measures for preserving the city from destruction, or not—nay, I go further—the question is yet more simple: It is, whether the most durable, and in the end, the cheapest materials, shall be used in constructing the buildings in this metropolis or not? The sober sense of the people cannot be supposed to err on this occasion, if their judgments have fair play—but if they can be so far imposed on, as to be made to believe that there is as much danger from brick or stone buildings as from those constructed of wood—as a writer, from one or two facts brought into view for that purpose, would insinuate—if they can be made to believe that this city owes its population to depopulating fires, originating almost exclusively in wooden edifices—if they can be induced to suppose, that in the long run, wooden houses would turn out a better interest than brick—or that the insecurity of wooden structures will produce a general confidence favorable to population—why then, the corporation, the insurance
companies and owners of houses have been in haste in proposing, and the legislature precipitate in passing the law prohibiting the erecting of wooden buildings—But Mr. Primmer, I conceive that the law is founded in sound wisdom—and will eventually be universally approved—it therefore only remains for the friends of the law to be firm to their purpose till experience shall shew the propriety of what the legislature has done—it has been hinted that the measure ought to have been adopted gradually—or that a distant period should have been assigned for its commencement—but to either of these propositions, there are numerous objections—a gradual operation would never produce a reform, it would only procrastinate the business finis die ; and as to a distant day's being assigned, it would only produce an accumulation of wooden buildings in the interval—and when the period should arrive for arresting the progress of the evil, the number of those interested to oppose the law would probably exceed those in favor of it.
The business has not been precipitately done. Like an embargo—perhaps the less warning the better, if any thing is ever to be done—The utter impossibility of ever making a law against the erection of wooden buildings which shall not in some degree, have a retrospective operation is no argument against the measure, unless the power and right of the majority to take every proper step for the preservation of their property is abandoned altogether.

CHARLESTON, April 21.
The passengers, officers and crew of the Prince William Henry Packet, who were landed at Crooked Island, as mentioned in our last, arrived here on Saturday.
DECLARATION
Of Captain Sands, of the sloop Maxwell, belonging to Messrs. William & James Mols of Nassau, Merchants.
ON the 2d instant I sailed from this port, in the said sloop for Crooked Island with sundry supplies; a lady and three gentlemen passengers. On the 8th was captured in the Crooked Island passage, by the privateer ship called the Vengeance, of 18 guns and 100 men, commanded by Capt. Allain. She was built at Baltimore, and failed from thence, schooner rigged, early this year, but last from Port du Paix, when the said vessel was altered from a schooner to a ship, as I was informed. Immediately on the privateer coming alongside, I was ordered to hoist out my boat and come on board, which orders I accordingly obeyed. No sooner had I set my foot on the ship's deck, but I was knocked down by one of the officers with a cutlass, and whilst in that situation received several kicks, and from the captain threats and abusive language. He asked me for the vessel's papers, which I immediately shewed him—he then called me a pirate, and said he would hang me. I was then ordered to be put in the after-hold, where I remained close confined for upwards of 12 hours. The Doctor, and another officer of the privateer, seemed very desirous to have the lady brought on board, and intimated she should be received, saying they intended retaining for some improper usage a French lady when captured by one of the Providence privateers, called the two Brothers. Mr. Menzies, a gentleman passenger, remonstrating on the impropriety of removing her so late in the night, they then declined sending for her.
On the 9th inst. the privateer, with her prizes, (the Prince William Henry Packet, Flying Fish, Capt. Gilson, and the Maxwell) anchored at the French Wells, Crooked Islands, where I, with Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, Mr. Menzies, and Mr. Sullivan, were put on shore, after having every article taken from us but what we were then clothed with, and without the least sustenance of any kind. Seeing some bread lying on the privateer's deck, prior to my being ordered out of her, I asked the captain for a few biscuits, informing him that it would be the next day before we should be able to get any relief from the inhabitants of the island; this he refused, saying he had none to spare. After experiencing a long and tedious journey through swamps, ponds, and woods, we with difficulty reached the hut of a negro belonging to Mr. De Lancey, about midnight, and received from him every relief that he could give us.

Capt. Plagg, of the ship Arethusa, 31 days from Savannah-la-mar, arrived last evening; by whom we learn, that only 8 ships of the fleet of 260 sail bound from England to Jamaica had arrived—He also informs, that the fever has ceased raging, and the island is generally healthy—Spoke on the 10th inst. 45 leagues from Cape Henry, the schooner Thomas, Howard, from Philadelphia bound to St. Thomas, all well.

THE ELECTORATE of HANOVER.
The following important opinions are from Giraud, a member of the Convention—they may have led to certain late alterations, or not: We think it momentous to present them at the present crisis, as they would no doubt be weighed by the Executive Government of France.
IT seems to me, that for a free people under a democratic government, we are not sufficiently occupied with our external relations. Our public papers ought more frequently to offer us those diplomatic ideas, which, even if the mere reveries of the honest and intelligent, contain always something useful—and the time is at length arrived, when, without passing for a madman, it is permitted one to believe some part of our schemes may acquire reality.
Without wishing to penetrate the secrets of our Government (since it is essential there should yet be secrets) I think it is the interest of France, when she shall judge proper to make peace, to conclude only Separate Treaties.
The Germanic Empire, ought by us to be separated from the House of Austria. That Empire composed of different States, has been drawn into the war, rather by the influence of Great Power than any sentiment inimical to France. Their contingents, furnished tardily and imperfectly, prove this sufficiently.
The French Republic is bound to maintain the independence of these petty States. I except from these, however, the Ecclesiastical Principalities, which, in any political combinations, ought to disappear from the Imperial Circles: These should be protected from the two Great Powers that press upon them; and who soon or late, will invade them.
Several of these States cannot have forgotten, they owe their existence to the ancient kingdom of France. And if Frederic William has forgotten the fine part his uncle played, when the Germanic League was formed against the invading House of Austria, France ought still more efficaciously to fill this character, since she cannot be suspected of particular aggrandisement, or family compacts.
England either from policy or feebleness particularly in war by land. That government preserves its preponderance, by devoting its subjects to the activity of an immense commerce, which yields it that gold by which the blood and the freedom of other people are purchased. With her guineas England collects those hordes in Germany, whom she lances against the independence of nations.
Let us dry up this fruitful source to England. Let us reduce her to her resources of her own population. Let the subjects of their king, determined to remain so, combat themselves, for the glorious title. We shall then see, if pounds sterling are supplements for French valour—if the English bank is proof against Republican bayonets—to sum up all, if eight millions of men, fighting to preserve their fetters, will not disappear before five and twenty millions, determined to break them for the happiness of the world.
I would therefore stipulate in these treaties, that no state comprised in the Germanic circle should hire out or sell its subjects, at the disposal of England, directly or indirectly, in any part of the world.
The Electorate of Hanover, however, cannot be comprised in this chain of treaties. We must dry up this source of royal corruption. It must contribute to overcome the British leopard. We must by this treaty reserve the right of passage to our victorious legions, to seize this inheritance of the head of the House of Brunswick, who, despoiled of this resource, deprived of the means of German dependaries, will be at length compelled to humble the cabinet of St. James's before the Republican Genius.
LONDON, March 17.
We have the pleasure to say that Earl Howe is happily recovered from his indisposition, and is going to sea with the grand fleet forthwith.
The Chouans, some of whom still hold out, are rather freebooters by trade than insurgents connected by any political or religious principle.
Notwithstanding the interference of Earl Spencer and Mr. Dundas, to settle the differences between the Ship builders in the river, and the Navy-board, and the intimation to the former, that their terms should be granted, it is a matter of fact that, except for converting some ships intended for Indian men into men of war, not an order had been issued from the Navy-board on Sunday last, for building any ship of war by private builders.
The interruption in the happy intercourse which subsisted so cordially between Their Majesties and the Prince of Wales has not been occasioned by the demur to the payment of the Prince's debts, for their Majesties have no objection to their payment by the people, but it is owing to a refusal on the part of his Majesty to employ his Royal Highness on the staff as a General.
It is extremely inauspicious to the Princess of Brunswick on her coming to England, that the affairs of her illustrious consort are left in the same deranged state in which they have been for years past, and that on her arrival the Palace of Carlton House may even be dismantled by the creditors.—We do not mean to say one word in favor of the conduct of his Royal Highness; but though his claims on the liberality of the nation are not great, it must be owned that he has been scurvily and coarsely treated by Mr. Pitt; since it
is certain that he pledged himself to bring forward the measure of paying the debts in full, and he now hesitates, if not actually refuses, to do it. Mr. Pitt proves, that he is always lavish for the public purse when a party is to be corrupted. He has not scrupled to load the people with 200,000. a year in favor of his new converts, and yet the Prince of Wales, who is as good a convert as the best of them, is to be left in the lurch.
Mr. Pitt has no objection to the sale of the estate of the Duke of Cornwall, and this estate produced out in lots, is expected to produce 600,000. The Prince's debts amount to 850,000. according to a rough estimate that has been made. It is a base and sordid thing in Ministers to alienate this Royal Providence for the Heir apparent, for the sake of taking from our own shoulders the burthen, and fading it on posterity.
Letters from Wilna, in Lithuania, dated Feb. 14, mention, that in that place they are about to establish a tribunal, or rather a kind of a Congress, authorised to judge the chiefs of the last revolution, as traitors to their country.
The first step of that assembly will be to send deputies to Petersburg in order to solicit the Empress to send Kozielsko before that tribunal.
BOSTON, May 12.
ELECTION.
Yesterday came on the election of Representatives. Much caucusing on both sides had preceded the election.—On the one hand, an almost entire change in our representation was warmly advocated by many; while on the other hand many were in favor of the almost entire re-choice of the old list. The election however ended in a happy and harmonious manner; a kind of compromise of opinion left out some of the old representatives, and introduced several new and popular gentlemen. The following is a list of the gentlemen voted for, with the number of votes each had.
 Jonathan Mason, Esq. 1915  Charles Jarvis, Esq. 1125  William Tudor, Esq. 1947  William Eustis, Esq. 1953  Thomas Edwards, Esq. 1051  William Little, Esq. 1054  Stephen Gorham, Esq. 960  Joseph Russell, jun. Esq. 885  Mr. Edward Tuckerman, 850  Harrison G. Otis, Esq. 879  Daniel Sargent, Esq. 954 
The first six are chosen.—There remains one yet to be elected.
To-morrow the citizens will assemble to complete their list of representatives. It is hoped that unanimity will at least preside on this occasion.
Samuel Norton, Esq. is elected representative from Hingham, vice Charles Cushing, Esq. The principal reason of Mr. Cushing's losing his election, is said to be his attempting to establish a political club at Hingham.
PHILADELPHIA, May 18.
From the Aurora.
It will give an idea of the party which now prevails in Paris, to mention, (and this can be done on the authority of the Paris prims) that those citizens who chuse to dress in a plain manner and without powder, are insulted in the streets by the Messieurs , who ride with Tallien and Frecon. The leaders of the faction now uppermost in the Convention, are remarkable only for their peculations and profligacy; their reign will therefore not be long. But while contending factions impelled by private motives, thus disgrace the hall of the Convention by their scandalous proceedings the real pilots of the state digest in secret retirement the plans which, independent of the conduct of intriguers and political gladiators, will conduct the vessel of state to the harbours of peace and political happiness.
Every person who has followed the course of European politics, thro' the French revolution, will recollect the name of the Abbe Syeyes, and something of his political sentiments. It will be remembered, that against the opinion of Thomas Paine, he maintained, that an extensive territory could be governed but by a monarch. This man, Robespierre saved (with many others) to make a tool of his talents, but never trusted him further than in digesting the details of plans of which the outlines and principles were first laid down.—This man, the present ruling party have placed in the Committee of Public Safety, a situation of primary importance. This fact is a useful commentary on the views and principles of that party.
The known enmity between Tallien and his party, and Barrere, Billaud and their adherents, has induced us to give more implicit belief to the account of the execution of the latter that, upon
reflection, it seems. The Aurora reaches us thro' the medium of the Sun, a moniteur London Paper, which gives it on the authority of a vessel arrived from Havre, having left that port on the 19th March. We have direct accounts from the same place to the 18th March, and not a whisper of the kind has reached us thro' that direct channel. Besides, the event is said to have taken place the 11th; it must, if that had been the case, have been known at Havre undoubtedly before the 15th, and then the arrival here must have brought us the intelligence. Besides, it was not to be expected, that the trial of the accused members would have been so speedily gone thro'. They were indicted on the 2d of March; many parts of the trial administration of which they were accused, related to the departments, where the proofs were to be procured, and from the professed moderation of their enemies, it is likely that they would not be judged summarily, but be allowed at least the form of a regular trial. These circumstances, and the doubtful authority of the Sun , would lead us to conclude the account unfounded in fact, tho' probably only premature.

PREMIUMS.
THE American Philosophical Society, held at Philadelphia for promoting useful knowledge, in order the more effectually to answer the ends of their institution, have agreed to appropriate, annually, a part of their funds, to be disposed of in Premiums to the Authors of the best performances, inventions, or improvements, relative to certain specific subjects of useful knowledge. The following Premiums, therefore, are now proposed by the Society:
 1. For the best system of liberal education, and literary instruction; adapted to the genius of the government, and best calculated to promote the general welfare of the United States: Comprehending also, plan for instituting and conducting public schools in this country, on principles of the most extensive utility—a premium of one hundred dollars. Papers on this subject will be received 'till the 1st day of January, 1797.  2. For the most simple, easy, and expeditious method of computing the Longitude from the common lunar observations—a premium of seventy dollars. The particular view of the Society in proposing this subject, is, that the solution of this most useful problem may, if possible, be rendered so plain and easy as to be readily learned by every mariner, even of moderate capacity, who understands the common rules of arithmetic; and thus be introduced into general practice. Papers on this subject will be received 'till the 1st day of May, 1796.  3. For the best construction or improvement of ship-pumps—a premium of seventy dollars. Improvements that may be readily applied to the ship-pump in common use, will be most likely to be adopted by seamen, and introduced into general practice. Papers on this subject will be received 'till the 1st day of April, 1796.  4. For the best construction or improvement of stoves or fire-places—a premium of sixty dollars. The principal end which the Society have in view in proposing this subject, is the benefit of the poorer class of people; especially of such as live in towns, or other places where fuel is dear. To answer this end, the stove should be cheap, and of durable materials; should afford the necessary degree of a salubrious and durable heat, with the least expense of fuel possible; and should be capable of being employed in warming the room, and of cooking provisions for the family. The Society have been informed, that stoves made of brick, are, in many respects, superior to those made of metal; especially in saving of fuel, and preserving a more equable degree of heat. Papers on this subject will be received 'till the 1st day of January, 1797.  5. For the best method, verified by experiment, of preventing the premature decay of peach-trees—a premium of sixty dollars. Papers on this subject will be received 'till the 1st day of January, 1798.  6. For the best experimental treatise on native American vegetable dyes; accompanied with an accurate account or description of the several vegetables employed—a premium of ninety dollars. Papers on this subject will be received 'till the 1st day of February, 1798.  7. For the best construction or improvement of lamps, particularly for lighting the streets, a premium of fifty dollars. Papers on this subject will be received 'till the 1st day of July, 1796. 
GENERAL CONDITIONS.
 1. EVERY candidate, along with his performance, is to send to the Society a sealed letter, containing his name, and place of abode; which letter shall never be opened by the Society, except in the case of a successful candidate.  2. No performance, invention, or improvement, on any of the subjects proposed, for which a patent, or other public reward, shall have been obtained before presenting to the Society, shall be considered as entitled to the premium.  3. In lieu of the money which shall be awarded by the Society as a premium, any successful candidate shall have in his option to receive a gold or silver medal, or piece of plate with a suitable inscription, of equal value.  4. The Society reserve to themselves the power of giving, in all cases, such part only of the premium proposed, as the performance will be adjudged to deserve; or of withholding the whole, if it shall appear to have no merit above what may have been already published on the subject: The candidates may, however, be assured, that the Society will always judge liberally of their several claims.

N. B. Besides the above Premiums which the Society have proposed out of their own proper funds, they will still continue to award, annually, to the Author of the best discovery, invention, or improvement, relative to natural philosophy, or navigation, (mere natural history only excepted) the premium of a gold medal of the value of ten guineas, out of a fund established for that purpose, by Mr. John Hyacinth de Magellan, of London, in the year 1786. It is not, however, to be understood that any candidate will, for one and the same performance, be entitled both to the Magellanic premium, and to any of those now proposed by the Society.
Donations from the friends of science, for the purpose of enabling the Society to extend their scheme of promoting useful knowledge by premiums, will be thankfully received by the Society, and faithfully appropriated, according to the respective directions of the donors.

16,739 Prizes 33,261 Blanks 50,000 Tickets at 2 dollars 400,000
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795.
