We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind.

AFTER reading the accounts that have been published in your papers of the execrable butcheries which have been committed on the Royalists of Nantes and La Vendee, I was tempted to translate, into plain English, Carnot's address to that persecuted people, and it is now submitted to you for publication.
FOR more than two years has your country been a prey to the horrors of war, which our predecessors in office have waged against the rights, liberties, and consciences of their fellow-citizens. Those fertile plains, which were designed by Nature to be the abode of happiness, became the rendezvous of the proscribed and persecuted, and have been polluted, in every quarter, by the indiscriminate slaughter of the innocent and guilty; the butchery of enfeebled age; the violation of helpless matrons and virgins; the universal carnage of all, who had not the good fortune to fly among strangers, or make their escape to heights and holes in the mountains. The flames have devoured the habitations of the fugitives; and the earth, covered with ruins, the horrid monuments of republican vengeance, refuses a subsistence to the few miserable survivors. Such, Frenchmen, are the baneful fruits of an atheistical philosophy! such the wounds of our common country, inflicted by the avarice, cruelty, and ambition of pretended patriots. Wicked men have abused the ignorance and confidence of the people. In the names of liberty and equality, they have proscribed all liberty of speech, and the equal rights of opinion—and with the pretensions of a mild philosophy on their lips, they have surpassed the most barbarous savages in cruelty. In the name of the Republic, the flaking horse of all their nefarious acts, they have pursued their fellow-citizens, and obliged them to seek a refuge in this corner of the country; chosen because it bordered on the sea, and afforded the more easy means of escape. Alas! what lives have been immolated on the altar of a ferocious novelty!—and how have you been hunted like the wild beasts of the forests, because you would not embrace the hideous phantom! But you have preferred a precarious security in the mountains, where you might exercise the rites of worship; you have even courted the alliance of the ancient enemies of France, rather than live without God and Religion; or tamely submit your necks to the fatal axe. Animat- ed by relentment and despair, you have often met the armies of the Republic in the field. Sometimes you have been victors; at other times you have been vanquished. Though weakened and scattered, you are yet in arms, and threaten the domination of the Convention with continued opposition and assault. Despairing at length to reduce you by force, the Convention is willing to try the arts of negotiation. She acknowledges that your conduct is not so criminal as it was represented. She says you have been misled, and her arms are now stretched out to receive you with a maternal embrace. She declares that the Commissioners, who were sent among you, (altho' chosen from a hardened band of cut-throats for the very purpose of your destruction) have abused their trust, and shall be sacrificed on the altar of conciliation. These scape-goats, having done their business, shall bear the sins of the Convention, and instead of being banished into the wilderness, shall fall under the axe of the law, with the universal execration they deserve. Such has been the wise policy of the Convention on all similar occasions. Witness the many generals and delegates, who have been sacrificed for their virtues as well as vices, just as it suited the views of the predominant faction. One of the crimes for which Brissot was guillotined was, that he rushed into a war with G. B. which might have been avoided; and yet the Convention is determined to prosecute that war to the utmost extremity. Genet was displaced for attempting to drag the United States of America into the contest, altho' this was one of the most important articles of his commission: and such little confidence has he in our Republican justice or mercy, that he has thought it safest in order to preserve his head, to remain in America, and trust to the generosity of strangers whom he had offended, rather than return to the bosom of his political parent. I can assure you, therefore, that the Committee of General Safety will be highly gratified with an opportunity of manifesting her justice against Carriere and his associates, if their deaths are followed by your submission. Hasten then to embrace this season of clemency; God knows how
long it will last; return to your manufactures and farms. Labor, plow, sow, reap—and whatever you raise, or manufacture, will be securely lodged in magazines by the Convention. All that remains after the requisition for Paris, and the army are complied with, will be at your own disposal, subject to the limitation of the maximum. But before you can partake of this act of pardon and oblivion, it is necessary, as a proof of your repentance and conviction, altho' you have been forced into arms by the most horrid oppression, I say it is requisite that you surrender them, and submit to the mercy of your country. It is time that the enemies of France should no longer be gratified by the spectacle of our internal discord, and mutual slaughters. We know full well that the multiplied opposition to the revolutionary government, which has existed from the beginning, and the number and rank of the malefactors, have been adduced as arguments of its tyranny, and the futility of its claims. We know that the disaffected body, and unite with our foreign enemies in execrating our philosophy as well as politics. The despots of Europe, and their satellites, consider France as a volcano, filled with combustible matter, of which your departure is the crater; and they wait to see it burst with ruin on the Convention, and all her instruments of tyranny. They will rejoice at our misfortunes, and embrace, with avidity, the fatal event. Let us then leave no means untried to dispel their hostile expectations. Those arms which they put into your hands, and which you have hitherto employed so bravely in your own defence, must be turned against the foreign enemy. Surely, notwithstanding all the head-oppres- sions, drownings, burnings, robberies—all the dreadful variety of deaths which you have suffered since the beginning of the war, you still feel a strong attachment to your native country—you still prefer a submission to her decrees, with the assurance of life, to an union with her ancient and natural enemies. We hope the blood of the English has not passed into your veins—that no consideration or sufferings whatever, will tempt you to act in concert with that abominable nation—a nation who, with the most diabolical intentions imaginable, have opened their doors and their purses, to supply your fugitive priests, your fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters with a home, with food and cloathing. This precious people are doomed to destruction; and it is expected that the arms, which they have furnished you for your own defence, will be plunged into their bosoms. Come, fellow-citizens, let the magic of this address heal all your wounds, and quiet all your apprehensions—let us unite in pouring vengeance on the heads of this devoted people; let us bring into action every effort of craft and violence against them. Great-Britain has, at all times, opposed herself to our designs of giving law to Europe. In the present war she has been the most powerful agent in stopping the career of our ambition. Had it not been for her interference we might have overturned all the governments of Europe, and trodden under feet every worship but that of the Carmagnole Goddess of Liberty.
As the strength of these Islanders is chiefly on the ocean, let us arm all our shipping as privateers, and send them forth to rob and plunder;—this is the cheapest means to come at the manufactures and produce not only of Great-Britain, but of every other nation who will dare to supply them with any article that we want. The resentment of the world we fear not. We have already thrown out the gauntlet against all Europe, and as to the petty States of America, les ingrats, we owe them no good office: for, although they had almost brought themselves into a war with the English, from their partiality to our cause, yet when it was ready to burst out, from a reverence for the virtue and wisdom of one man, they retreated. But let us prosecute the war against these Islanders to their utter extermination:—and when this happy event shall take place, we shall not only be able to dictate peace or war as it may suit; but establish a predominant influence over all Europe and America.

MR. FENNO,
I HAVE read with attention the remarks contained in your paper of yesterday, under the signature of a Parent, relative to the establishment of public schools. The writer appears to state his enquiries with the spirit of candour and therefore merits a candid answer. He wishes to know whether it will be practicable to unite all the religious denominations in the
state of Pennsylvania in the support of public schools; when it is a known fact, that at present, some of them have schools under their peculiar direction? To me it appears that the contemplated plan is perfectly practicable notwithstanding the circumstance stated. Religious sects, I apprehend, patronize schools not so much with a view of inculcating their peculiar tenets, because a measure of knowledge is necessary to the discharge of all personal and social duties; and therefore it is a part of the religious obligations of all denominations to see that this knowledge be acquired by youth—in other words, religious people send their children to school not so much to acquire the distinguishing principles of their creed as to obtain that information which is of common use in every system of religion and in every relation of life. It is literature then which is the primary object in choosing a school. But when schools must be supported at private expence, and there are enough of those who belong to a particular sect to maintain one of their own, another object is often connected with that which is primary, namely, religious instruction, correspondent to the faith of the parents and the instructor whom they employ. Let it not be supposed from what I have now said, that I am one of those who think that religion is in itself an object second to any in importance. In my estimation it is the most important of all objects, and one in regard to which every parent is bound to be most solicitous that his offspring imbibe just apprehensions.—But his principal view in sending them to school is that they may learn to read and write, to acquire the knowledge of language, of arithmetic, and of other sciences, and he regards religious instruction there only in the light of a convenience or advantage. He will indeed, be extremely careful to see that their morals shall not be corrupted, and that no direct attempts be made to instil sentiments into their minds contrary to those religious principles which he esteems important. But if he obtains this he obtains the most he expects from a school. Now in all schools a care of the morals of the pupils is professedly an object of regard; and in this country there are I believe few attempts, to make youth a school professedly a party in religion.—Facts verify the observations now made. For tho' there are some schools which exclusively belong to particular religious denominations yet there are many which do not. In most parts of the country it is either impracticable, or not thought of great importance, to have a school appropriated to a particular religious sect; and even in the cities, where some such schools exist, they do not obtain all the youth of that denomination to which they belong. In this city I know that Presbyterians have been taught by episcopalian and episcopalian by presbyterians and both by quakers and quakers by both. Nor has this happened merely to the children of those who embrace the fashionable plan of being indifferent to all religion or saying that all systems are equally good. Parents who have been seriously and deeply interested to bring up their children in what they esteem religious truth and purity have often done what I mention. The truth is that good morals are professedly regarded by all religious sects, and when a parent sees that they are not only professedly but really taken care of in any particular school, & that the master has ability, diligence and success in teaching—to that school he will send his children; and take care of their religious instruction at home, or seek it from another quarter.—In the establishment of public schools, therefore, it ought not to be an objection tho' all religious instruction, strictly so called, were excluded; provided there should be a strict attention to purity of morals. But for my own part I do not think that such an exclusion is necessary. I hope that the Bible will be a school book, this is the source of all revealed religion. Even those who do not believe it to be of divine authority ought to be informed of its contents. It contains a system of the purest morality, and the parts of it which are read in schools are usually those which directly inculcate integrity of heart and life. I would by no means intimate that it ought to be the only book read in schools, but I think no objection can be made against its being one of several. If this take place, and children be made acquainted with the Scriptures, religious parents of all descriptions will obtain a part of their object even in regard to the principles of piety. Or if any do not choose that their children should read the Bible, let such substitute something in its place, while those who wish them to be instructed in it can also be gratified. But even more than has yet been mentioned, may, I apprehend, take place without any difficulty. I have known a seminary of learning where the following plan was adopted with success. The teacher requested the parents of his pupils, or the pupils themselves, to inform him what religious system they most approved. He then took the catechism, or some book which contained the radical principles of that system, and was careful to see that those who adopted it should commit it to memory, or be accurately acquainted with its contents. To this he added the study of the Bible which was common to all, and saw that the youth were well versed in the historical part, and that they read those which were doctrinal till they were familiar with them. This plan gave much satisfaction to all concerned. The man who did it was a man of religion and adhered firmly to his own creed. But he realized that it was of the utmost importance that children should be instructed in religious principles of some kind or other, and that their parents had a right to direct in this particular—He therefore said—choose your system and I will see that it be learn-
ed and inculcated. And this he did with such impartiality that no complaint was ever uttered on the subject. Should schools be established thro' out the state, this plan might be adopted to please those who choose it; while those who dislike all religious instruction, if such there be, might forbid their children to receive it. Or if, as already intimated, no religious instruction should be directly communicated in the public seminaries, it might be given to children by a teacher whom each society of christians might choose for the purpose; and who might attend to this important object the half of a day in a week, with much less expence, and much more effect, than takes place in the present management of schools. What relates to the German language does not fall under that view of the subject which I have been called to take. As far as religious principles are concerned, what has been offered is as applicable to the German as to the English inhabitants of the state. On the whole, I hope enough has been suggested to remove the objection of the "Parent," and that so interesting a concern, as the establishment of Public Schools, will be steadily, unanimously, and successfully pursued.

PARIS, December 24.
Letter from the committee of Public Safety to C. Bartheloni, minister from the French Republic to the Swiss cantons.
December 23.
We are informed, citizen, that the emigrants and the transported priests affect to circulate, that they are soon to be admitted back into France, and even that their reports have been able to gain some ground. We can attribute only to those falsehoods, that forbearance with which the Catholic cantons tolerate those even in their territory.
The immediate consequence of this is that the above mentioned characters crowd in numbers on our neighbouring departments, and there endeavour to stir up new disorder and calamities. You are expressly desired to declare to all the cantons, that the emigrants justly covered with the opprobrium and execration of all Europe, are and ever will be so with ours; that the French nation knows them to be traitors, and that their vengeance awaits them wherever they shall find them within the reach of punishment.
This declaration will no doubt be sufficient and decide a government which has given us so many striking proofs of its candor and friendship, to shake off that infamous band who are aiming at nothing but disorders, and would so far misuse the kind hospitality they meet with, as under its cloak to kindle divisions, in hopes, that by their fatal consequences they might gratify an eternal hatred and revenge on Switzerland for its steady attachment to the French people.
The Members of the Committee of Public Safety.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Report & Project of a Decree, presented in Nivose, [the latter end of Dec.] by Johannet, in the name of the committees of Public Safety, General Security, Legislation, Commerce and Finances.
On the Means of Restoring the Finances and Public Credit.
Received by the Maria and translated for the Aurora.
(Continued from our last.)
Exhibit the general account of receipts and expenditures at the treasury from its establishment to the present day; let France know exactly the state of assignats and all other kind of money that have been received or paid at the treasury; let a special committee draft a statement in concert with the committee of finances. Publicity is the basis of confidence, as well as the safeguard of liberty.
There will result from this examination, that after having raised in an instant a million of soldiers; that after having created an immense expence every thing necessary to support with success a most terrible war; that amidst the disorders and dilapidations inevitable during a revolutionary crisis, and before our expences could be subject to system, they, tho' immense, are still under what might have been expected; and that our remaining resources are far above them.
You will see that our actual expences have not exceeded nine billions; our receipts have amounted to three billi-
ons, the expence is thus reduced to six billions; from this sum, however, be deducted the sums paid on account of the public debt, and those which must have accrued from the expences of government at all events; and then a sum of about four billions will remain as the expence of the revolution. We have with this made head against all Europe; we have placed liberty on a firm foundation. Compare these great results with those of the ancient government, which expended 1500 millions to assist our allies in North America.
At the same time that our credit will be raised by an exact knowledge of our resources, and by a systematic adoption of useful measures, we shall effect gradually without alarm the return of part of the assignats.
The rapid sale of the personal property of the emigrants, now belonging to the nation, and which should be put out of the reach of dilapidations of all kinds; the speedy sale of the national buildings not required, which fall into ruin and absorb in repairing and other expences much money; the sums which must come in when you shall have settled with the families of emigrants; the inheritances coming to the Nation; the prompt payments which will be made agreeably to the transactions which you have already decreed with the partners, widows and children of persons emigrated or condemned,—every thing promises considerable receipts. Yet these means are not sufficient to fulfil your wishes, and your committees will successively present to you the various projects which they have in agitation. The period you have fixed as the term of their labours is so short, the extent of the details of those projects so great, that your committees have determined to make them the subject of a separate report; the end of them is to effect in the course of one year the return of 4 billions in assignats, by means totally free and voluntary.
Yes it must be owned, that the gradual receipts will not altogether fulfil the ends you propose.
For it is not only the quantity of circulating medium, but especially the scarcity of the objects which can be purchased with it, that causes their excessive price, and which exhausts the government, by which the want of those objects is felt. Remember that colonial productions have sometimes trebled in price, tho' the quantity of money remained the same; recollect that wine's double in price when the vintage has been bad; add to this the difficulty of transportation, the price of maritime insurance, and the considerable increase in our consumption. When you shall have diminished the mass of assignats, you will not have increased the quantity of raw materials and removed the other difficulties; this is however the end we should aim at:—By what means shall we attain it?
It is no difficult task to explain the causes of the scarcity we experience. One of the principal causes is to be found in the result of the balance of trade now and before the revolution. This balance was eighty millions in our favour in 1788. It is but too much known how greatly against us it has now turned. This change does not strike those who reflect as extraordinary.
The actual revenues of the French colonies in 1788 amounted to 235 millions: this source of colonial wealth is at the present moment shut up.
The manufactures of Lyons caused an annual influx of about 60 millions.
The trade of the Levant produced a revenue of 30 millions; it is suspended and will remain so, until the French flag shall have obtained the ascendancy in the Mediterranean.
All these causes added to others, which it is useless to recapitulate, have caused the present deficit in our balance of trade. By diminishing the quantity of assignats we shall not change the unfavourable result, which produces scarcity and consequently the high price of provisions.
Those narrow minded persons who adopting the popular prejudices, continually repeated that our territory produced all that was necessary to our wants, were soon contradicted by experience. This error give birth to the maximum.
Long since this measure has been condemned by the public opinion, your committee of commerce will throw much light on it as to influence its repeal.
[To be Continued.]
December 25.
Lecointre endeavored to prove, that the actual situation of the Republic required to fix the price of wheat, rye, barley, oats, Indian corn, buckwheat, and forage.
A member, drawing a picture of the baneful effects occasioned by the law of maximum from its first existence to the

present time, dated the extraordinary encres in the price of merchandizes from the time Pache was made minister of war. He demanded, as well as Leconte, that all kinds of corn necessary for the subsistence of man, as also oats, should not be included in the suppression of the maximum, and that their present price should be encresed by one third.
Bourdon, of Oise, maintained on the contrary, that since it was demonstrated that at present the produce of lands did not repay the farmer the necessary expenses of culture it would be unjust and impolitic to let the maximum of the price of corn subsist.
Why I have you forgot, he said, that the stock of a plough, formerly sold for 50 sous, costs now 32 livres? I maintain that if you permit this counter-revolutionary law to subsist any longer, the sowing of March will be neglected. This hint must be sufficient to determine upon.
Pellet asked, whether government had taken every necessary measure to prevent the commotions, which the suppression of the maximum might probably occasion? He imagined that the surest way to diminish the price of provisions and merchandizes, was by diminishing the mass of assignats now in circulation. He communicated several other considerations, and concluded with demanding that they should take care to prevent the price of bread rising in such a manner, as rendered it impossible for the poorer class of the people to buy any.
Bessroy appeared at the tribune. Several members proposed to vote on the project proposed by the committees. Bessroy demanded that Bessroy should be heard in order to remove all the doubts which the assembly might entertain, against the beneficial tendency of the project.
Bessroy pronounced a long discourse, and proved that all the objections against the project were groundless. He remarked also, that it was impossible to force the French farmers to sell their wheat for 18 livres when government paid fifty livres for the wheat imported by foreigners.
A member. By the fatal effect of that law there is hardly a single confidence any of the republic provided with provisions for more than two days at a time, except Paris and the frontier places. This is a fact, which ought to be considered.
Cochon spoke also in favor of the project, and assured that the pretended scarcity of provisions was nothing less than real; that having had an opportunity to examine the most exact accounts, he was quite convinced, that in the most calamitous years, after two or three successive bad crops, there had never been more than 1,200,000 cwt. of wheat imported from foreign countries and at least one half of that quantity had always been exported again to the French colonies.
He maintained, that as long as the maximum subsists, we shall be in want of the most necessary articles.
Breard declared, that the time was now arrived when the Convention ought to frustrate all the plots and infernal machinations of the internal enemies and the partizans of the cruised faction, by proclaiming the free circulation of provisions and merchandizes. That infamous maximum, he said, has been invented to starve the whole republic. We shall pay a little more if we proscribe it, but at least we shall have enough to live on.
Citizens! The desile of Thermopylae is here, said Breard; we are on the brink of a precipice; it belongs to the wisdom of the Convention to prevent being precipitated into the abyss. Our enemies watch us. They may excite some commotions, but it will be easy to crush them.
Several other members gave their opinions also, for the suppression of the maximum, they proved that the maximum is no where executed, and declare like Bonelou of Oise, that law to be the guillotine of commerce and agriculture.
The first article of the project was adopted, amid shouts of applause, in the following words: All the laws concerning the maximum in the price of provisions and merchandizes cease to be in force from the publication of the present decree.
December 27. A member proposed in the name of the committees of Marine, the colonies and public safety to establish a revolutionary school of Navigation and naval Artillery in the ports of the Republic. Ten young citizens from 15 to 18 years were to be chosen in each district of the Republic, and admitted as pupils in the revolutionary school. The project or decree to be printed and adjourned.
Medium of Douay organ of the three
committees declared that after having perused the denunciations of Laurent Lecointre, Legendre and Clauzel, against Billaud Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, Barrere, Amar, Voulland, Vadier and David, and examined the pieces produced by J. B. Darnaud against Vadier, the committees were of opinion that there was reason to examine the conduct of the representatives Billaud Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, Barrere and Vadier.
The Convention decreed that this evening a commission of 21 members should be appointed to examine the conduct of those deputies.
Barrere declared that he felt himself happy as well as his colleague, to see at last his wishes accomplished.
The Convention will render us justice it is nothing but justice we wished for these three months, since we shall convince all France of the perversity which dictated so many execrable libels, the greatest crime of which is to have poisoned the public opinion which should have been animated by a sacred fire as pure as that of the Vettals; we forget the base insinuations, the malicious calumnies of our passionate detractors; but how can they justify themselves for having spread this spirit of discord all over the republic by perverting the public opinion without which revolutions can neither be effected nor maintained, we shall prove how unjust our enemies are.
The orator complained. 1st. Of the refusal his colleagues and himself met with, when they applied to the committee of Inspectors of the Hall to get their defence printed, which afterwards being sent to the press of a pure patriot, will appear in three or four days.
2dly. Of having found it impossible to get a communication of the pieces and charges against them.
Invited to appear in the committee, they answered, that they were determined to defend themselves at the tribune of the Convention; but they demanded that the members of the ancient committees who were not accused should be heard.
Collot d'Herbois complained of the same obstacles, and declared that his colleague demanded nothing but the most severe and inflexible justice. The representatives of the people, he said will soon see the hideous architecture of crimes vanish away in dust. The Convention of a free people acknowledges no ruler; French people have no idol; no republicans ought therefore to be afraid of being immolated on the altar of a monster, as an innocent victim of party spirit.
He asked the favor of getting his defence printed like other deputies—Decreed.
Bouffier Danglas pronounced a discourse in which he proved the indispensable necessity of establishing a solid and durable government.—

MR. FENNO,
WHEN the observations made by a subscriber, in your paper of Tuesday, were written, nothing was more distant from the intentions of the author, than engaging in a controversy which must ultimately prove of little utility and might only terminate in personal invective. His object was merely to expose the disgraceful subterfuges which many will resort to, when in want of a proper object to ground their censorious remarks. The free discussion of a political sentiment, however different it may be from the popular opinion, if conducted with propriety, is certainly subservient to the public good; but people are apt to forget that when they pursue methods for the attainment of their purpose which are incompatible either with truth or the importance of the subject, they frequently, instead of giving additional strength, weaken the cause they mean to defend.
As these observations, however, have occasioned a spiteful reply from your correspondent, it may not be improper to advert to one of his remarks, which will certainly place his candour in a very enviable situation. As the business of importance was irrelative to the resolutions, he infers by a new kind of logic that the resolutions must have been supposed to be of no consequence. But as this implication proceeds from a question, mutilated to serve his purpose of introducing a witticism immediately subsequent, its preposterousness and ingenuity must appear glaringly obvious on perusing the sentence which gave rise to his comment: the business of importance, only, for "which the society was convened" is there mentioned as having no relation to the subject of his animadversions.

SAVED THE UNITED STATES FROM A FOREIGN WAR, By its Wisdom and Prescience; To have Prepared against its Calamities, by Efficient Armaments; And to have PAID A great part of the Debt of Gratitude to France, In advancing her money, Yet still Supporting The Duties of NEUTRALITY; If to have
QUELLED an INSURRECTION, Which threatened our Peace, Without Bloodshed; And to have Restored the confidence of the People, In the government of their choice; If to have Courted, by liberal rewards, The FRIENDSHIP, And to have Chastified the Insolence of Hostile Aborigines; If to have Done Deeds like these be meritorious, Then, The Deceased Has never ceased TO DESERVE WELL of its COUNTRY.
UNITED STATES. SALEM, March 17.
Captain Grant, in the brig Union, arrived yesterday at Marblehead, in 56 days from Lisbon. A few days before he failed, a packet arrived from England, with information of a French fleet of 33 ships of the line, besides frigates, being in the English Channel, and capturing all the inward bound merchantmen, and that Lord Howe was preparing to go out and engage them. Captain Grant heard nothing at Lisbon of the capture of Amsterdam.
From Marblehead we learn, that during the late gale every vessel in the harbour was drove on shore. Two schooners were overset, one sunk, damaged it is supposed past repairing, and thirty three went on shore, most of which have been got off. The damage is estimated from seven to ten thousand pounds.
The schooner Aurora, capt. Waters, of this port, lately carried into Jamaica, has been "legally adjudicated," and vessel and cargo condemned.
A schooner belonging to Halifax was cast on shore in the late storm at Gloucester; one man drowned, part of the cargo and the vessel entirely lost.
RICHMOND, March 19. The following is the state of the poll as taken on Monday and Tuesday last, for this city and county, for a representative from this district to the next Congress of the United States, viz. For Miles Selden, 255 John Clopton, 96 Buwell Basset, 74 Meriwether Jones, 14
We have not heard from the other counties in the district, but from the best information we have been able to obtain on the subject, the supposition is, that Mr. Clopton will be the successful candidate, by a small majority.
We hear that on Friday night last, the dwelling-house of Col. William Overton Callis, of Louisa county, unfortunately took fire, and was entirely consumed, together with all his household furniture, papers, &c. Col. Callis being from home at the time, and the flames having made considerable progress, before they were discovered, it was with the utmost difficulty that Mrs. Callis and the rest of the family escaped the devouring element.
A Meeting of the Proprietors of WHARVES is requested THIS Evening next, at 7 o'clock at the City Tavern, in Second street, to receive the Report of their Committee, it is hoped that every Proprietor, will attend as the Business is of much importance. March 27 2t
PHILADELPHIA, March 27.
Translated from the Courier France's of this Morning.
Extract of a letter from Havre, dated December 31.
"All the Colonists are enlarged, except those composing the Club at the Hotel of Malliac. Our friend Avallé, is better; he had been very ill during the whole time he was in prison. Justice and humanity are the order of the day. The Jacobins, and the Agents of Robespierre are pursued; Sonthonax and Polverel are on the point of suffering all the punishment due to their crimes—The Commission is engaged in this important business, and are unremittingly employed in making their report."
"General Galbaud is employed in the service of the Republic. The criminals, as you see, will not be able to escape the chastisements, which monsters who, under the mask of patriotism, have destroyed the finest Colonie in the Universe, deserve—they tremble; the Divine vengeance has not forgotten them."
Lately died, in Charleston, S. C. Mr. James Hamden Thompson, upwards of thirty years an eminent instructor of youth in that state.

This being the first attempt made in the United States for the publication of the Writings of the celebrated Shakespeare—and the magnitude and elegance of the Work rendering it materially expensive, the Publishers anticipate a generous Patronage from an enlightened Public.

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 completed, 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 fame 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.
