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 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 a noble cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally
acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dilute the clou of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive. EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 32.

Extracts from the new-year's verses of the Carrier of the Connecticut Courant. To all Christian People; more especially those who take the CONNECTICUT COURANT.
The events of all evolving time, In this and many a distant clime, The tuneful new-year's Muse rehearses, In novel strain of new-year's verses; Which, by degrees, with proper pains, We hope will rise to epic strains. For as the HOMER, pride of Greece, Wrote all his Iliad piece by piece, Which yet has serv'd a splendid model, To each succeeding epic noddle; So may our verse to latest ages, Resplendant roll like Homer's pages. But not like him to wam confin'd— Our heroes are of every kind; And in all lands, with epic spirit, We rank them on the scale of merit. Nor shall we court the nine old maids, By former poets us'd for aids, Since Muse the tenth has stop'd her way, To these Hesperian walks of day. O! late arriv'd from Georgium Sidus, Vouchsafe to inspire the song and guide us! While men of law and rule grow weary, O! deign to celebrate the era!— Hark! how the music of her tongue, Makes thread bare subjects fresh and young!
See, dim beneath the artic pole, Rude Russian hosts of ruffians, roll A sea-like wave—in barb'rous pride The Poles to conquer, and divide! See Frederick aid the base design, And march those legions from the Rhine, He erst to haughty despots sold, To crush the French—for British gold, And see Kotschubie rouze the Poles, While indignation fires their souls, That tyrants leagu'd should still effay To bend their necks to foreign sway! O Son of our great Son of FAME, May deeds like his, exalt thy name, May fated Poland yet be free, And find a Washington in Thee. The French still fight like veriest witches, Both those who have, and have not breeches And scarce a decade paces o'ery But sees them wade knee deep in gore; Sees hosts of foes, tho' men of might, Put all their trust in speedy flight; And Oh! how quick their news is hurl'd, From realm to realm—and world to world; For has not Telegraphie the merit, To make French feats out-race a spirit?— Cannot balloons as soon arise, To tell them thro' th' astonish'd skies!— While Guillotine quick lets them know, By headless ghosts, in realms below. Nor can the Muse forget the year, That seal'd the fate of Robespierre; But 'mid th' aristocratic laugh, Will here inscribe his epitaph; Which, in some proper time to come, We hope will grace his mournful tomb. Long, luckless chief! thy guileful form Astride the whirlwind, rein'd the storm; That storm, where streams of human blood, Drench'd towns and realms like Noah's flood; Till hurl'd beneath the Guillotine, Where gasp'd thy nobles, king and queen, Where daily swell'd thy bounteous store, Of headless trunks and spouting gore; Where Science' sons and daughters bled, And priests by hecatombs fell dead— Its rushing blade thy members freed, From sins their tyrant head decreed; And sent thy ghosts to shades of night, To prove, with Danton, which of right, Should have in hell the highest seat, An atheist or a hypocrite. May Heaven our favorite planet bear; Far, far from Gallia's blazing star; Ye lights of Europe shun its course, Or order yields to lawless force, As tho' a random comet hurl'd, Should dash at once and melt the world. But tho' the French are giant finners, Yet have we not Tom Thumb beginners! Which, tho' a molish sort of mice, May grow to rats like nits to lice, Gnaw thro' our vessel's lower quarter, And fill, and sink her in deep water. Still may Genet, with wives enough, Raise on Long Island garden stuff; While M. pleads off each club, Creation first of Beelezebub; Tho' Congress long and hard have prated As tho' they were "mere self-created;" While all agree, like hellish fiends, They much infest Columbian skies:— For see yon western rebel band, A medley mix'd from ev'ry land; Scotch, Irish, renegades rude, From Fashon's dregs fermenting brew'd; Misguided tools of antifeuds, With clubs anarchial for your heads, Why would ye make with cost and trouble Yourselves of warlike stuff the stubble?— Tire down the arm out-stretch'd to save, And Freedoms' cradle make her grave? See next the veteran troops of Wayne, March o'er far the savage bands of stain, And scatter far, like noxious air, Those vipers of the fam'd St. Clair; While bluff'ring Simcoe, as requir'd, To bleak Canadian climes retired, And let his tawny friends remain, To sue for proffer'd peace again. Here Fame reports in vast expanse, A clime extends that baulks romance, Where sea-like rivers wind their way, Thro' vast savannas to the sea; Clear lakes extend, huge mountains rise, And spicy vales perfume the skies; Whatever earth maternal yields— To deck the groves, or cloath the fields, All fruits and flowrets flourish here, And bloom like Eden's gorgeous year: Birds bask in air, the game in woods, And finny nations croud their floods. Here then Columbians seek your farms, When war-like Wayne shall quell alarms;

We lament, particularly, that instead of a temperate and prudent zeal for liberty, a wild disorganizing spirit of licentiousness has been insidiously spread among our fellow-citizens. We deprecate, also, the unhappy influence which the propagation of a licentious philosophy, and a frontless infidelity, may have upon those who are young in life, and not yet established in their principles. We rejoice, however, that we are placed beyond their reach. Your lectures on the evidences, and the great truths of Christianity, have taught us to view them with mingled abhorrence and contempt.

But let not speculations vain, Exhaust the purple and turn the brain, Nor grudge the roaming Indian rude To hunt his native wilds for food. Yet where Boston's lions her spires, Like Phoenix from devouring fires, See federal virtue take her stand, And ward Destruction from the land. Hail Nurse of Heroes! Satelmens sage! The guard and glory of the age! Above the mists of moulder time, Thy Fame, O Adams! soars sublime, Who first the British lion spurn'd, And gave the terms when peace return'd; Cull'd from the lapse of ages past, And fram'd a Work with time to last; Display'd in truth's celestial light, How Freedom, Law, and Power unite. May choicest flowers with tears bedew'd, On thy brave Warren's grave be strew'd; And long heroic Lincoln stand, The laurel'd bulwark of the land. But still no flowers of greatness grow, Where thorny plagues lurk not below, There swarms Honeffus' rabble throngs, And Lawyer incest joins the song; While Jarvis with his bob-tail crew, Retreats before great Ames's view. And now O Muse! throw Candour's veil O'er aged Sam. in dotage frail; And let past services atone, For recent deeds of folly done; When late aboard the Gallic ship, Well fraught with democratic flip, He praying fell on servile knees, That France alone might rule the seas;— While Sense and Reason took a nap, And snor'd in Jacobine Cap. His other acts both, grave and jolly, Behold! are in the book of Folly; Yet should he with his fathers sleep, We'll strive with all our might—to weep."

MR. FENNO,
IN conformity to the requisition of the Synod of the Presbyterian Church held at New-York, last Tuesday was observed in this place as a day of "fasting and prayer." On that day, Dr. Smith delivered a discourse on the nature and reasonableness of the duty in general; and the particular causes which prompted this resolution of the Synod. It gave universal satisfaction. It was fraught with just sentiments and sound piety, and surrounded with a blaze of eloquence. A wish was expressed, by several young gentlemen who are studying in this town, to see it published. After some conversation, it was resolved to make an application to Dr. Smith for that purpose. In consequence of which they sent him the following letter:

REV. SIR,

Princeton, Jan. 8, 1795.
GENTLEMEN,
YOUR application to me, cannot but afford me pleasure, from the assurance it contains of the esteem of those whose studies I have had the honour and satisfaction to direct. It has been my ambition to merit it. It shall be my highest pleasure to see you distinguished, in
Church and State, by your talents and your virtues. If religion has been recommended here to your respect and esteem, by the manner of treating it, it will be to me one of the softest subjects of consolation—because, I am persuaded that the principles of piety are essential to the salvation of men, and intimately connected with the public morals and prosperity. Infidelity is as pernicious to manners, as it is false in its principles. True religion, and true patriotism, will ever be united. These sentiments, which fill my heart, I have endeavoured to translate into that discourse which you have lately heard, and which, at your request, I am now preparing to commit to the public.
That you may be qualified to serve God, and your Country, with usefulness and lustre, is the fervent and constant prayer of,
Gentlemen, Your friend, and humble servant, SAM. S. SMITH.

From the Federal Orrery.
Mr. Paine,
THE last session of Congress was a stormy one; and this, excepting one debate about the clubs, has been a flat calm. Then, many were in absolute despair; and now, it is thought, all danger is over. The storm has blown, till the sky is clear—and sanguine, confident persons wonder, that any one should doubt the continuance of the political fair weather.
Our present situation affords, as the President has remarked in his speech, very substantial consolations, and such, as flow from the scenes of apprehension and disorder, we have just passed thro'. Faction, lately so insolent and strong, is now almost mute; and, certainly, compared with what it was, humble and impotent. The people have clearly shown their zeal for the government, which has amazed the anarchists. There is no doubt, they relied too much on the effect of their lies, to turn the hearts of the citizens against the constituted authorities: and now they see their mistake, and see insurrection bro't low, they are confounded. This is perceived; and those, who look for the bright side only, say, Now there is no danger. They are wrong—there is danger.
Our prospects are, indeed, bright. Peace is, most probably, secured on a good and honorable footing. Rebellion is crushed. The Indian war is successful, and drawing to an end. The revenue is ample, and will be applied to redeem the public debt, unless the party, who clamor, without cessation, against it, as a public evil, prevent the adoption of the plan of a sinking fund. No country on earth is now, and, probably, none ever was, so prosperous. But, to make the happiness of this country as lasting as it is great, is the problem.
It is said, Do not our citizens love liberty, and respect the government? Where then is the danger? What people, possessed of liberty, have not loved it? And, when have not the wise and virtuous respected a free government? Yet, all free governments have fallen. That dependance is, therefore, not quite safe: for, free states are ever accused of being more stormy and violent, than despotic monarchies. Faction will disturb them; and, if unrestrained, will destroy order, government, liberty. Faction here, though confounded, is not half persuaded to turn Christian; but is waiting, only for a more convenient season, to renew its operations. Its rancor is, no doubt, the greater, for being denied vent. If war should threaten our trade again; if another Genet should set up his seditious standard; if a whisky insurrection should be ripening, or ripened and making progress; out they would come, like snakes in the spring, glistening with augmented venom. Enemies, in the camp, in your cabinet, in your very household, are, of all, the most to be dreaded.
If the people will choose insurgents, they must pay for rebellions. It is childish, to say, the excise raised the rebellion. It was not tried; and, an act that they did not submit to at all, could not be said to oppress them. Disaffection had gone deeper; and our party-leaders aim at the sovereignty. A little less energy, in the administration, and a little more violence, among those, whom they have disaffected, and they would rule this country. The clubs have been successfully used in France, for that end, and there seemed, a year ago, a high degree of probability, they would answer the same end in the United States.
I am surprised, and really alarmed, to hear so many say, there is no chance, in future, for the anarchy-men to endanger our laws and liberty. Why not? They have seized on the public troubles, as the means of exciting suspicions and jealousies, disaffection and insurrection. New troubles may arise; and events, which have lately favoured the country, and, in a great measure, baffled wicked men, may aggravate our troubles and our dissensions. The sons of mischief would then be in their element, and labor again, to make bad worse. And, had any man, of less firmness, less splendor of reputation, than the first citizen on earth, headed the magistracy; had not an excellent governor of Virginia instantly quenched the fire, which was spreading from Pennsylvania; or, had either temporised, sent no troops, or only a handful, to be beaten, a wide-spreading, civil war, would be now raging. The secret history of this business is not so secret, as to hide the extremity of the danger we have escaped.
The prospect of new dangers, tho', at present, a little concealed, is not hidden. Certain men, high in office, in certain states, nourish opposition to the national government. They are organized against the authority of the nation. The strength of faction has been manifested in the resolves of clubs; in the event of many elections; in the former speeches, of a certain party, in Congress. The same factious cant is echoed from one to the other. The anarchists, instead of being weak and harmless, are formidable from their situations in office, their union, the extent of their line of posts, their industry, and perseverance.
It is in the power of the people to diminish these dangers. Let the body of the electors banish, from Congress, those, who hate public order, and the laws. It is worse than absurd, to send the enemies of the constitution, and who are more and more its enemies, as experience has shown its success, to administer its powers. If they send factious men, they will have faction; and that is known to be the mortal disease of republics. Government cannot go on so divided. The friends of peace and war, the advocates of order and anarchy, cannot both be right. It is for the people, in their elections, to choose between them, and, by carefully selecting honest men, and tried patriots, who are known to be attached to order and the laws, to restore to the laws, their authority; to the public bodies, the harmony, that has long been lost. In short, to place real liberty on a safer ground, than it now stands on. Any necessary reform in our systems, is more likely to be made by such men, than by the factious. Indeed, one half may hinder the other from moving, and reforms are not to be expected.
If the people will not support their government, it cannot stand: and they will not support it, with effect, unless they do it in their elections. It is from thence we are to expect the poisons of the constitution, and there we must look for the antidotes. The fate of our government; the inheritance of our children; our safety, from anarchy, rapine, and massacre, depend on our weighing these truths, and reducing them to practice. They will be the better received, and considered, as the ferment of the elections has subsided. If they should be neglected, fatal experience will, in less than five years, alarm our security, and punish our indolence.
COMMON SENSE.

LONDON, November 6.
Mr. Erskine has endeavoured to avail himself in behalf of his present client, of the acquittal of Lord George Gordon. The real circumstances attending that acquittal, deserve to be known; and when known, they will be far from furnishing Mr. Erskine with an argument on the present occasion. When the Jury sworn in the above case retired, eleven of them were for convicting the accused. The twelfth took upon himself to assure the rest, that to his knowledge, Lord George Gordon had, for a considerable time been under the influence of insanity. This assertion receiving credit, the Jury were induced thereby to return a verdict of Not Guilty; upon the ground (which was discussed among themselves) that no other verdict could be pronounced upon a man, who was bereft of the light of Reason. The writer of this received his information from one of the Jury who sat upon the above trial— TRUE BRITON.
The duration of Hardy's trial is unparalleled in the history of criminal law.

There is, however, one precedent in the annals of English jurisprudence in India, and that precedent is more applicable in such a case as it was also a political trial. We speak of the trial of Nundocomar, which lasted eight days, and during all which time the Jury were not allowed to separate, nor was the Bench left without a presiding Judge. The Jury were locked up from refreshment of food and sleep in one adjoining room, and the Judges relieved each other. After the Levee a Council was held in the grand Council Chamber, at which their royal highnesses the prince of Wales, and duke of Clarence, two archbishops, lord chancellor, all the cabinet ministers, and several other members, were present; when the king signed the instrument for permitting the marriage of the prince of Wales with the princess Caroline Elizabeth, of Brunswick. It sat only a few minutes.
THE LATE SUBSCRIPTION.
For the unfortunate sufferers by the fire at Ratcliffe, London, discovered means of universal charity which did honor to the national character of Englishmen; but the following, though of the humbler kind, deserves more particularly to be recorded—On one Sunday's collection of the visitants, who thronged to see this encampment of the wretched, 800l. was received; 426l. odd of this sum was collected in copper, and 38l. 14s. of it bestowed in farthings, the poor man's mite of charity, flowing from the purest source of human benevolence.

Mr. Samuel Vaughan, of the town of Carver, fatted and killed a hog last week, 18 months old, the 4 quarters of which weighed 590 lb.
Table with 2 columns: Item, Weight. Rows: The rough Fat, 20; Total, 610.
The hams of this hog, together with a dish of Clams (the fare of our forefathers) would afford a grateful repast while contemplating the gloomy circumstances under which our pious and renowned ancestors achieved a subsistence here in the winter of 1620.
BOSTON, January 5. From Halifax.
Capt. Rundle, from Halifax, yesterday in 9 days, informs us that Admiral Murray, with the Africa, and several frigates, sailed from Halifax, the same day with him, on a cruise.
PIRACY.
Capt. George Nowell, (of N. Port) from England, on the 30th October, in lat 43, long. 14, 35 West from London, spoke the Helen, John Grawfts, Master, of Bolton, from Baltimore, bound to Lisbon, but was captured by a French privateer, off the Western Islands, and after taking the men out the Schooner, maned her with Frenchmen, and ordered them to proceed to Bourdeaux. They informed Captain Nowell, they had orders to take all American vessels, bound to an enemy's port.
From Lisbon.
Two days before the departure of Capt. Chamberlain, from Lisbon, (vide Marine News) a Swedish ship arrived there, having on board, the Capt. and several of the people, belonging to a Portuguese ship, taken by a French Squadron, cruising off the Rock of Lisbon. The ship's cargo was valued at 50,000 crusadoes—the Capt. reported that the French were determined to stop all vessels with provisions and stores bound to Portugal; Capt. Hallet, in the Paragon, and Capt. Ervin, in the Dolphin, both from Bolton to Lisbon, were captured by a French Squadron, and French sailors put on board of them; they remained with the Squadron, 10 days, when seizing an opportunity afforded by a Gale of wind, they left the Squadron, and arrived safe at Lisbon. Capt. Ervin left his Mate and some of his people on board the French ships. The above fleet had taken an English Packet, bound from Lisbon to Falmouth, and several rich prizes from the Straights, laden with raw Silk and Drugs.
Mr. RUSSELL.

EXTREME PARSIMONY.
A few days ago died at Pinner, in Middlesex, Daniel Dancer, Esq. a man who quitted this earthly stage, not more remarkable for worldly wealth than for having lived in an apparent state of extreme poverty. Such was the eccentricity of his character, that, though scarcely allowing himself the common necessaries of life, he has left property to the amount of 3000l. a year to Lady Tempest and Captain Holmes. During his last sickness Lady Tempest accidentally called upon him, and finding him lying up to the neck in an old sack, without even a shirt, remonstrated against the impropriety of such a situation when he replied, that having come into the world without a shirt, he was determined to go out in the same manner. She then requested him to have a pillow to raise his head, and he immediately ordered his old servant named Griffiths, to bring him a truss of hay for that purpose.
He would never afford his old horse any more than two shoes for his fore feet, deeming those for his hind feet an unnecessary expense.
So perfectly penurious was he in his disposition, that, rather than expend a penny, he frequently had recourse to the pot liquor of Lady T.'s kitchen, of which he would swill so enormously, as to be obliged to roll himself on the floor to sleep.
His house, of which Captain H. is now in possession, is a miserable building, and has not been repaired for half a century; though poor in external appearance, it has however, been recently discovered to be immensely rich within, Captain H. having at different times found large bowls filled with guineas and half-guineas, and parcels of bank notes stuffed under the covers of old chairs.
He generally had his body girt with a hay-band, to keep together his tattered garments; and the stockings he usually wore had been so frequently darned and patched, that scarcely any of the original could be seen, but which, in dirty or cold weather were thinly covered with ropes of hay, that served as substitutes for boots. His whole garb, in short, resembled that of a miserable mendicant, begging charity from door to door.
The trite adage "What's bred in the bone, &c." was fully verified in this man who seems to have been the principal branch of a thrifty-tree, every sycon of which being of a similar texture.
He inherited a considerable property by the death of a sister, who exactly resembled him in temper, and who, had she lived in the dark ages of Gothic Superstition would probably have been taken for a witch, and burnt at the stake in consequence.
She seldom quitted her obscure residence, except on being roused by the noise of hunters and their hounds, when she would sally forth, armed with a pitchfork, in order to check the progress of the intruders on her brothers grounds; on which occasions, she had more the appearance of a moving bundle of rags than of a human being.
NEW-YORK, January 10.
THE LEGISLATURE of New-York, agreeably to law and adjournment, met at Poughkeepsie on the 7th inst. on which day there was a quorum in both Senate and Assembly, 65 members of the house present. Mr. Wm. North was chosen speaker, and Mr. Oliver L. Kerr, clerk of assembly; Mr. Robert Hunter sergeant at arms, and Mr. Ten Eyck door keeper.
A message from the Governor by his secretary was delivered to the speaker, communicating the usual information relative to the affairs of state—also a letter directed to the speaker of both houses informing them of his indisposition and that altho he had very little expectation of meeting them, from his present state, yet that it was his intention to do it if his health would permit during the session.
The House then proceeded to nominate and appoint the Council of Appointment, when the following gentlemen were appointed, viz.
Richard Hetfield, for the Southern District, 34; Joseph Halbrook, Middle, 60; William Powers, Eastern, 33; Jacobus Van Schoonhaver, Western, 38.
Notice was given, that a concurrent motion would be made the next day, that the Legislature adjourn immediately to New-York.

From the General Advertiser.
The Pennsylvania House of Representatives have dismissed their Western members. Previous to a question on this important point, a motion was made fixing the time of adjournment to a day subsequent to a decision of the question of expulsion.
This motion was lost by a majority of one. Writs of election have been issued for the Western Counties, but in the mean time the House proceeds to legislate on the interests of the whole.
A Correspondent asks,
Whether the sickness, absence, or death of one or more members of a Legislative body, would render it necessary that an adjournment should take place, till the vacancies were filled by new elections?
On the motion for referring the Message of the President of the United States, with the accompanying report of the late Secretary of War, relative to Indian Affairs, yesterday, there was upwards of twelve, not twenty, in the negative.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 10.
By a gentleman of this neighborhood who arrived here from Kentucky on Wednesday last, (says the Virginia Centinel of the 29th ultimo) we have received the pleasing intelligence, that an exchange of prisoners has actually taken place between General Wayne and the Indians; & that a peace with the hostile tribes is in a fair way of being permanently established.
A Correspondent remarks that the outcry raised by the clubs at their denunciation by the three branches of the Legislature of the United States is not to be wondered at, when the Clubs consider that vote of censure as fatal to their influence as the late decree of the National Convention of France—which forbids all affiliation, aggregation, federation, or correspondence between societies under whatever denomination they may be, as subversive of the government &c.

"My chief aim has been, to offer to the public a Dramatic Entertainment, which, while it might excite a smile, or call forth the tear of sensibility, might contain no one sentiment, in the least prejudicial, to the moral or political principles of the government under which I live. On the contrary, it has been my endeavour, to place the social virtues in the fairest point of view, and hold up to merited contempt and ridicule, their opposite vices. If, in this attempt, I have been the least successful, I shall reap the reward to which I aspire, in the smiles and approbation of a liberal public."

Scheme of a Lottery,

PROPOSALS
By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation
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 Elocutions 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 Labors 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 philosophers, 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 expence.
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.
