RESOLUTIONS of the DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY.
Resolved, That in the hurry of business many things have been overlooked by this Society, particularly the names of things invented in times of Aristocracy and Monarchy.
Resolved, That Cider Royal, be denominated Democratic Cider,—That the Crown of a Hat, and the Crown of the head, be called in future the scalp of the head, and the scalp of the hat.
That the King, post in building be call'd the chief post,—that the King and Queen in cards, be called Bob and Joan.
Resolved, That all Royal and King-ly words shall be changed in the Bible, by those of the Club, who may happen to use that book; except where the Devil is call'd the Prince of Darkness—for he being an arrant Aristocrat, has an undoubted right to retain his Princely name.
Resolved, That all crown pieces or other coins of Gold or Silver bearing crowns be delivered to the President of the Society, who will engage to dissolve them by the same or as good a process as Aaron did the Golden Calf—to make Beverage for the members of the Society.
Resolved, That the cutting off the head of the President of the Democratic Society at Paris was a bad precedent.
The consideration of this has determined us further to Resolve, That all persons professing modern democracy or Jacobinism be considered as immaculate, and above all Law and that it be recorded in letters Gold, that a professed Democrat can do no wrong.

VERSES. By Mrs. MARRIOT. O'er lovely vales I'll smiling stay Where roses blush on many a bough, To weave a garland sweetly gay, And bind it blooming round my brow: Simplicity shall be my guide; The lily pale shall be the envy— And truth array'd in Angel pride, I'll woo and make her ever mine. And thou my sweetly fishing mule, Attendant of my infant days— Thou art too nimble to refuse, Thy artist's unambitious lays. Sweet as to flow'rs are falling dews, To me thine influence all divine! And yet, my ever-pensive mule, Tell Slander said, thou are not mine: Enchanting was that moment blest, Love sparkl'd in thy fancied eye, Thou each'd me trembling to thy breath, And look'd indignant on the lye.

NATIONAL CONVENTION,
August 3.
The Committee of Public Welfare willing to restore to the consumers plenty in all the markets, and to restore abundance through the whole extent of the Republic.
Orders— If the farmers refuse to send in the produce of their harvest which will be taken for a mark of disaffection, they shall be ordered by the National Agents, to carry into the markets appointed, a quantity of grain proportioned to their harvest, necessary for their supply.
Those who fail, after this order, shall be arrested as suspicious, unless they prove an impossibility to comply with it.
In each Commune, where there is a market a Municipal Officer shall daily regulate and register the quality and kinds of grain that is brought; the prices they shall have been sold at—and he shall in particular prevent any person from purchasing more than he can consume in one decade.
Those who shall go and buy in several markets shall be reputed desirous to keep up the scarcity, suspicious characters, and arrested as such.
To prevent partial provision, arising from the eagerness to buy, all those who shall be found provided with grain of purchases more than a month back, shall be in the same predicament. The Municipality is held responsible.
The National Agent of Municipalities where the markets are situated, shall transmit to the Agents of the District, an extract of his register every decade.
The Agent of the District renders his accounts exactly at the same interval to the Commission of Commerce and Provisions. Printed tables or forms of the accounts are transmitted with this order.
Charles Lacroix observed that by a decree the work of living artists were to be returned. To prevent the dismemberment of the collections, and to preserve what might be considered as an historic monument, he demanded that they should be retained, and the artists paid the price of their productions—This proposition was adopted.
The Conductor of the Journal des Debates, moved that it should be enquired who accumulated upon the head of Hanriot the command of the Parisian Guards, and that of the 17th military division in defiance of an existing decree? He hinted also that the present sub-officers of the latter had been appointed by Hanriot and moved an enquiry. Referred to the two committees.
BRUSSELS, July 31.
Every mode which ingenuity can suggest is adopted by the French Commanders to conciliate the affections of the inhabitants of this city. The magistrates and the Representatives of the people of Brussels and its environs, gave yesterday a Civic Fete, on account of an oath, unanimously pronouncing the Union of this city with the French Republic.
The Commander of the town, the staff-officers, and all those of inferior rank belonging to the garrison, honored it with their presence. About half past three, they all sat down to a frugal Republican dinner in the Vaux Hall du Parc.
In the centre of the table, was placed a red cap, the emblem of Liberty, with three coloured flags at each of the four corners.
After various Republican toasts—among which were re-echoed—
The Unity and indivisibility of the French Republic!
It Triumphs!
The Destruction of Tyrants! The Pensionary of the town, Citizen de Cock, addressing himself particularly to General Ferrand, the Commander of the forces, proposed,
The Union of Brussels with the French Republic! And, with the impulse of Republican enthusiasm, earnestly urged the fraternal embrace!
Immediately the whole company rose, as if actuated by the same emotions, to obey the summons. The military of all ranks and ages, the sheriffs, the other magistrates, the deacons of the traders, the pastors of the parish, presented themselves as one large family, united by those ties the most endearing to liberty and equality. A chosen band of musicians, and the men and women dancers, suddenly entered, to give additional interest to the transports of joy, excited by this act of confraternity.
General Ferrand announced, that the Tree of Liberty was in the market place. That very tree, adorned with many three coloured flags, was brought forth from the gate of Namur, accompanied by the flourish of trumpets. On this tree, sat a goddess, bearing on her right arm the sacred buckler of the Rights of Man, and in her lap a crown.
Laurent, the Representative of the French people, and the military, and the magistrates, stood forward and planted there, with the greatest pomp and solemnity, the Tree of Liberty, while the act was celebrated by the warlike sounds of music, alternately delighting the company with airs of Patriotism! of Liberty! of Victory! As soon as it was reared, when they saw the Cap of Liberty, the three coloured flag floated in the air, the cries of "Vive la Republic!" "Vive la Nation!" resounded to the skies.
The Carmagnole dance next followed; and an immense crowd of spectators partook of the entertainment.
In the evening the whole town was illuminated. All was joy and felicity; and the whole was conducted without the smallest disturbance. The French patrols, both horse and foot, traversed the streets all night for the preservation of peace, and the protection of property.
At the conclusion of the ceremony a courier was dispatched to communicate the intelligence to the National Convention at Paris.
LONDON, August 19.
On Sunday, about one in the morning, a fire broke out at Attey's Amphitheatre, which consumed the whole premises. It began in the coffee-room and box-lobby, communicated to the engine house and water-tubs on the one hand, to the circus on the other, and afterwards to the stage.
The horses were saved.
The property, estimated at 30,000 pounds was not insured to half the amount.
About seventeen of the adjoining houses were burnt or much damaged.
UNITED STATES.
CARLISLE, October 8.
On Wednesday last the Governor of this State escorted by the Lancaster troops of horse, commanded by Gen. Hand, and accompanied by his Aids de Camp Generals Kols and Morris, arrived in this Borough. He was met about a mile from this place by Gov. Howell at the head of the Jersey cavalry, by the Philadelphia cavalry, and the light infantry company, and by a number of the inhabitants of this Borough. At 4 o'clock in the evening he delivered an animated address in the Presbyterian meeting house to an immense audience who filled that spacious building and surrounded its doors.
This was the tenth County which in a short space of time the Governor had visited and in each of which he had addressed the militia to rouse at the voice of their country and defend its rights. We are happy to announce that this zeal in the general cause has been greatly successful.
On Saturday the President of the United States arrived here. Every exertion was made by the respectable army now encamped, and by the inhabitants of this place to receive him with that respect correspondent to those sentiments of respect and veneration with which every good man and citizen had been long impressed. The Governors of Pennsylvania and Jersey, at the head of their respective squadrons of horse, and the friends of government inhabitants of this town, met him at some distance from this borough. The President was escorted by a detachment of Philadelphia horse, who left the camp at three o'clock in the morning of that day; and who arrived at the river as he had just passed it. He was accompanied by Secretary Hamilton, and his Private Secretary Mr. Dandridge. This grand procession passed through this Borough to the Camp. Here the light horse ranged on the right and left wings of the army, drawn up in martial order, and forming a line the most respectable ever perhaps before displayed. Besides the great mass of respectable yeomanry, there might be seen as private troopers some of the principal officers of the state government, members of the Senate and House of Representatives of Pennsylvania, others who had commanded regiments in the continental service, merchants of the most respectable characters and fortunes, lawyers of eminent talents and property. Amongst the infantry as volunteer soldiers, there are young gentlemen of the best families in the respective states—some of them men of great opulence, and a number of them of consequence in the commercial world.
The line was composed of the cavalry before mentioned, a regiment of artillery with 16 pieces, which with the infantry from various parts of Pennsylvania, amounting in the whole to near three thousand men, beautifully equipped, and all in handsome uniforms. The army was reviewed by the President, who appeared to enjoy the utmost satisfaction at this illustrious display of patriotic exertion—he remarked as we are informed, that he had never beheld a more respectable body of troops, and some gentlemen who had been American officers in the late war with Great Britain, admitted that they had never seen a body of the war so strong and fine a body of cavalry. In the evening the Court-House in this borough was illuminated by the federal citizens, and a transparency exhibited with the following inscriptions in large illuminated characters, in the front of the transparency, "WASHINGTON IS EVER TRIUMPHANT." On one side, "THE REIGN OF THE LAWS," on the other side, "WOE TO ANARCHISTS."
On Monday morning a number of the principal inhabitants presented the following Address,
To GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esquire, President of the United States:
SIR, We, the subscribers, Inhabitants of this borough, on behalf of ourselves and our fellow-citizens, friends to good order, government and the laws, approach you at this time, to express our sincere admiration of those virtues, which have been uniformly exerted with so much success, for the happiness of America; and which, at this critical period of impending foreign and domestic troubles, have been manifested with distinguished lustre.
Though we deplore the cause which has collected in this borough all classes of virtuous citizens, yet it affords us
the most heart-felt satisfaction to meet the Father of our Country, and brethren in arms, distinguished for their patriotism, their love of order, and attachment to the constitution and laws; and while on the one hand, we regret the occasion which has brought from their homes men of all situations, who have made sacrifices, unequalled in any other country, of their private interests to the public good; yet we are consoled by the consideration, that the citizens of the United States have evinced to our enemies abroad & to the foes of our happy constitution at home, that they not only have the will, but possess the power to repel all foreign invaders, and to crush all domestic traitors.
The history of the world affords us too many instances of the destruction of free governments by factious and unprincipled men.—Yet the present insurrection and opposition to government is exceeded by none, either for its causeless origin, or for the extreme malignity and wickedness with which it has been executed.
The unexampled clemency of our councils, in their endeavors to bring to a sense of duty the western Insurgents, and the ungrateful returns which have been made by that deluded people, have united all good men in one common effort, to restore order and obedience to the laws; and to punish those who have neglected to avail themselves of, and have wickedly spurned at the most tender and humane offers that have ever been made to rebels and traitors.
We have viewed with pain the great industry, arts, and misrepresentations, which have been practiced, to delude our fellow citizens. We trust that the efforts of the General Government, the combination of the good and virtuous against the vicious and factious, will cover with confusion the malevolent disturbers of the public peace, and afford to the well disposed the certainty of protection to their persons and property.
The sword of justice, in the hands of our beloved President, can only be considered as an object of terror by the wicked and will be looked up to by the good, and virtuous, as their safeguard and their protection.
We bless that Providence which has preserved a life so valuable through so many important scenes—and we pray that he will continue to direct and prosper the measures adopted by you, for the security of our internal peace and stability of our government, and that after a life of continued usefulness and glory, you may be rewarded with eternal felicity.
To which he was pleased to return the following Answer.
Gentlemen, I thank you sincerely for your affectionate address. I feel as I ought, what is personal to me; and I cannot but be particularly pleased with the enlightened and patriotic attachment which is manifested towards our happy constitution and the laws.
When we look around and behold the universally acknowledged prosperity of the United States; facts no less unequivocal than those which are the lamented occasion of our present meeting, were necessary to persuade us, that any portion of our fellow-citizens could be deficient in discernment of virtue, as to attempt to disturb a situation which, instead of murmurs and tumults, calls for our warmest gratitude to Heaven, and our earnest endeavours to preserve and prolong so favored a lot.
Let us hope that the delusion cannot be lasting; that reason will speedily regain her empire, and the laws their just authority, where they have lost it: Let the wise & the virtuous unite their efforts to reclaim the misguided, and to detect and defeat the arts of the factious. The union of good men is a basis, on which the security of our internal peace and the stability of our Government may safely rest. It will always prove an adequate rampart against the vicious and disorderly.
In cases in which it may be indispensable to raise the sword of justice, against obstinate offenders, I shall deprecate the necessity of deviating from a favorite aim, to establish the authority of the laws in the affections of all, rather than in the fears of any.
GO. WASHINGTON.
PITTSBURGH, Oct 11.
Resolutions of the Delegates of townships of the 14th of August, assembled at Parkinson's Ferry on the 2d of October, agreeable to the notice in the Pittsburgh Gazettee.
Resolved, That it is the unanimous opinion of this meeting, that if the figure of the submission be not universal it is not so much owing to any existing disposition to oppose the laws, as to the want of time and information to operate a correspondent sentiment; and with respect to the greatest number, a prevailing consciousness of their having had no concern in any outrage and an idea that their signature would imply a sense of guilt.
Resolved unanimously, That we will submit to the laws of the United States that we will not directly or indirectly oppose the execution of the acts for raising a revenue on distilled spirits and
hills that we will support so far as the law requires, the civil authority in affording protection to all officers, and to the citizens, reserving at the same time our constitutional right of petition and remonstrance.
Resolved unanimously, That in our opinion in the four counties of Pennsylvania westward of the Alleghany mountains, there is a general disposition to submit to all the laws of the United States, and a determination to support the civil authority in their execution.
Resolved unanimously, That William Findley of Wellmoreland county, and David Redick of Washington county, be appointed commissioners to wait on the President of the United States, and the Governor of Pennsylvania, with a copy of these resolutions, and to explain to government, the present state of this country, and detail such circumstances as may enable the President to judge whether an armed force be now necessary to support the civil authority in these counties.
Resolved unanimously, That the secretary transmit a copy of these resolutions by post to the President of the United States and to the Governor of Pennsylvania, and have them printed in the Pittsburgh Gazette.

Harpsichord, Piano-Forte, a first and second Flute and organ; these instruments may all be played together, forming one of the most beautiful, sublime and soft concerts that the ear can wish: At any stage of the tune that it may be playing, the Flutes may be stopped, and the Piano Forte and Harpsichord left to perform alone; or the Harpsichord and Piano Forte may be stopped as the Flutes, and they may be left to perform alone: so that the instruments may be separated and united in any stage of the music, and it may be made to perform fast or slow as required.
This clock was designed and executed by Mr. Henry Moellinger, clock & watch maker, who arrived at Philadelphia, in autumn last (from Mannheim, in Germany) where he now follows his business but expects shortly to reside in New-York.
Extracts of Letters from respectable Merchants in London.
August 6, 1794.
"I duly received yours of the 30th May. It is with great concern I have observed the difference that has arisen between the two countries, and blame our government here, as their conduct for illing, the order of 6th November last was in my opinion very rash, and ill advised. It is very seldom that I blame the measures government, because I am, in great measure unacquainted with the secret springs of it. There might have been many reasons to have induced them to such a step with which you or I may be totally unacquainted; but as far as I can see, it appears to me in the above point of view: Neither do I much like the question that has been frequently agitated with you, viz: on the propriety of confiscating private property. Such a step would have been unprecedented and in the extreme cruel, that individuals should be robbed of their all, on account of the improper conduct of any government.
I think from what I can see, and hear from persons well acquainted with the dispositions of the Americans, we may expect should a war at any time take place, a step of this kind would be adopted, the very idea of which tends to decrease that confidence we should ever cherish.
We hear but little of the negotiations of your Ambassador Mr. Jay, but from what has transpired we have every reason to expect the differences will be amicably settled, which I am happy to find, independent of interest—I sincerely love peace and all the blessings that accompany it. I wish I could persuade myself that I should soon see peace established all over Europe: Oh! this is a very bloody war; the French are furious and wicked: Their decree to give no quarter to the English soldiery is such conduct as we could not expect to receive from the most [barbarous] Savage Nations.
With respect to trade, it has been uncommonly brisk through the Spring: Orders from abroad can "scarce be executed, our home consumption is so great."
From another, dated August 9, 1794. "We hope with confidence, the critical situation of affairs is over, and that

the difference will be soon adjusted to mutual satisfaction, though our conference is continually interrupted and alarmed. We beg that any who find fault with us circumstanced as we are independent of the attempt made in your Congress, will allow us the same liberty were it their own situation."
From another, dated August 9, 1794.
"Time will not permit to say much on politics; I proposed to myself the satisfaction of abusing your project of sequestration—the very climax of all political turpitude; a stain on the national character—a reproach to men pretending to the least sense of honor justice or virtue, which the very best friends to America here never cease to lament and can't think of but with shame and sorrow, that such bale hearts should exist in her bosom."
Note.—It is not to be wondered at, that such a measure as the proposition to sequestration and thence to confiscate British property, should so affect the writers of the above, who together have considerable property in this country: But it was equally cruel on the part of the British Ministry, to enact the decree of November 6, 1793.—Such violence as this we suppose was the cause of American ruffians; and such imprudence as the appeal to the people by a certain diplomatic character had no doubt some influence on the present anarchical now contending against the laws, both equally absurd and equally improper in their tendency; the one in creating unjust revenge against the subjects of a foreign nation; the other in enkindling the spirit of strife among fellow-citizens!
To the latter also may be imputed we fear the cause of the European decree, in the excluding the people of Charleston and others, in sitting on privateers by express orders from the then existing French Convention, which, if we examine into the secret springs of action, may have given rise to all or most of the discontent existing in England, and the orders of 6th November, in as much as it was the probable design of the above Convention to involve us in a war with that country.
How different the measures proposed by the Eastern representatives—favourous of their country: O laid one of them in Congress had I a voice to found beyond the mountains I would proclaim my dissent to such proposals"—which was, "to stop all intercourse with Britain, and thus to sequestration all British property!" Was not this the very thing that Monsieur G—t had been so indefatigably contriving? If so, would not laugh heartily at the conversion of so many disciples in Congress to his principal and darling scheme, the Antipodes to peace!
But real Patriots, the palm of wisdom and prudence is evidently yours, while the voraries of anarchy would only vociferate for violence, but advance no reasons except that of revenge in order to plunge their country into war, and to deluge it with blood and yet what is extraordinary these are the very men, who dissent, strange inconsistency against "the ways & means" of assisting government, to act with spirit and energy in its present organized form, without which how can this or any other government exist as an independent nation?
By the ship Fame arrived at the Port from St. Marc, which place she left on the 25th Sept. we learn, that after continual skirmishes for 15 days, the Republicans attacked that town on the 4th and succeeded in burning half of it. The English laid an embargo on all shipping from the 4th to the 22d. The British were still in possession of the town on the 25th. Gen. Adv.
The public are to be congratulated on the issue of the general election so far as returns have appeared—particularly of members of Congress—Many new names appear, and among them a majority of decided federal characters—The factors of anarchy, thanks to the good sense and intelligence of the electors, will have reason to put on Sackcloth and Ashes.
Extract of a letter from Fort Littleton, 50 miles advance of Carlisle, Oct. 14.
"We arrived here last evening after a march of 20 miles over the North—and Tuscarora mountains. It was by far the most fatiguing march we have experienced, and to complete the measure of our troubles our baggage did not arrive till late at night, so that we were obliged to encamp a la belle étoile, and many were without a blanket."
"At Shippensburg (our last stage) three of our number found the fatigue so great as to remain for rest. I fear that the fatigues of the last day and night will produce more invalids."
"We marched from Carlisle in the following order: Vanguard of 6 Philadelphia horse. Taylor's Riflemen. M'Pherson's Blues and Graham's company of 32 men. Two pieces Bucks County Artillery, Philadelphia horse. Jersey foot, Gurney's battalion, Brigade of Artillery, &c. follow on at a small distance."
"By some information received it is conjectured the insurgents will be violent in their opposition to us. Indeed nothing augurs to the contrary. We have received additional ammunition and the strictest general orders are given by Governor Howell, who has the command, as to discipline and attention to our arms and ranks."
Extract of a letter from an American Captain in Bermuda, to his friend in this city, dated St. Georges, 28th Sept.
"I was captured the 22d of August by the Retrieve privateer of this port, Capt. Nash, and arrived here the 21st inst. I expect we shall be condemned, as there is neither law nor justice for a poor American in this place. We deserve all this and worse, if possible, for not retaliating on the Common Robbers; I should die in peace and tranquility of mind, if I had only one crack at them, by way of compliment for their favors. I have saved my watch without one single sliver in my pocket, to keep her company or get me a dinner."
The Governor of the Western territory has issued his proclamation dated the 10th of September in consequence of the unwarrantable proceedings of certain persons who on the days preceding had molested a number of the Choctaw nation who were returning from Gen. Wayne's army. He calls upon the Justices of the peace and other officers to be active in suppressing such unwarrantable proceedings. He concludes his proclamation by flagellating that the unlawful vending of spirituous liquors is a principal cause of such disorderly conduct. It appears that several of the Choctaws were wounded by these rioters. How is peace to be expected on our frontiers when our own citizens thus provoke hostilities? Gen. Adv.
GENERAL ELECTION.
Statement of the Returns. Bucks, Montgomery and Northampton Counties, compose a district and send two members to Congress—the following is the Bucks return:
 Samuel Sitgreaves 1407  James Morris 888  Robert Loller 653  John Richards 477  Peter Muhlenberg 205   ASSEMBLY.   John Chapman 1486  John Hulme 1368  Ralph Storer 1360  Theophilus Foulke 985  Gerardus Wynkoop 537  Jos. Irwin 537 
Bucks sends four Representatives, the four highest as above, cannot be displaced by the votes of the Citizens gone out in the militia. Chester, Bucks & Montgomery, choose four Members of the State Senate, the following is the return:
 Chest. Buc. Mon. total  Den. Whelen 1191 1773 725 3689  Lin. Coates 1114 1100 1051 3264  Thos. Jenks 785 909 389 2083  Zebulon Potts 242 833 803 1878  David Moore 829 674 115 1518  Amos Gregg 294 801 375 1470 
Andrew Porter and Thomas Long, had a number of votes, but not sufficient to be probably placed on the returns by the votes of the Citizens gone out in the militia. Gen. Adv.
The report of the taking of Rotterdam turns out a fabrication; the New-York papers of yesterday contain no account of a late arrival there from Europe.—That Guadalupe is wholly in the hands of the French, seems to want confirmation.
The Mail for places to the eastward of New-York, is now dispatched from the Office here, only twice a week, Wednesdays & Saturdays—this alteration commenced last Wednesday.
A correspondent remarks, that the excise law (so called) had no influence in the late election for members of Congress in this city—nor does it appear to be the case with respect to the other districts—that "those who stole the
horse", in relation to the embargo, made use of lies and misrepresentations to injure the cause of those who never so much as "looked over the wall" is a fact—and that these lies had a temporary effect, is equally true.
The Boston papers contain several corroborating accounts of the successful issue of Mr. Jay's negotiations.—We have seen a letter from London, dated the 25th July, which says that the British Ministry, insisted at that period, on certain principles in relation to the indemnification, which rendered the question on that subject, very problematical.—It is reported that dispatches have been received by our Government from Mr. Jay, to the 21st August; whether they contain any solution of difficulties which existed on the 25th July, perhaps the public may very soon be informed.
The votes in the City and County of Philadelphia for Sheriff, at the late election, were as follows—

PROVIDENCE Oct. 9.
Yesterday Morning was launched from Col. Tallman's Ship Yard on the West Side the River, the new ship JOHN JAY—She is about 450 tons, is owned by Messrs. Brown, Benion & Ives of this Town—and is pronounced by Judges to be a most excellent Vessel. We hear she is intended for the East India Trade.—At the same Tide a fine new Brigantine, and a sloop intended as a packet in the New-York Trade were launched from Mr. Eddy's Yard, on the West side the river.
NEW-YORK, October 17.
Extract of a letter from Guernsey, dated July 11, 1794.
"Capt. Du Puison, from Grenada reports, that he fell in with a crippled French line of battle-ship, sunk between wind and water, in lat. 48. lon. 15.—All her guns had been thrown overboard. Her yards and blocks, of which he has bro't off some, are marked M. No 15, and, the French prisoners here say she must be the Magnifique, of 80 guns, one of the finest ships belonging to France."
Yesterday the Scho'r Orange, bro't back the 7 passengers who were taken out of the Fanny.
A gentleman from Bennington assures us, that the Democratic club in that town was wasted away. They, with great liberality, admitted persons who are not members, to attend and join in debate; by this means, the club was soon out-numbered and out argued; and thus argued out of their meetings. At the last meeting, they could not muster enough to adjourn. This fact prove
one thing at least, that secrecy is the sole support of such societies, a fact very much against the advocates for an open journal.
The violent and insulting conduct of the British Officers at the hook, in impressing the passengers of the Fanny from Greenock, on board their ships of war, after the men had shown their papers and proved the legality of their emigration, affords strong grounds to suspect the officers have secret instructions to warrant their proceedings. How otherwise could they answer for this conduct, in case a complaint should be made, and an enquiry instituted? A suspicion of this kind is strengthened by the known wishes of the British government to restrain emigrations, and to compel the necessitous people of Great Britain and Ireland, to enter into the land and sea service.

BALTIMORE, October 16.
List of deaths, in this town, Fell's Point and the Precincts, during the last twenty four hours, viz:
Mary Jones of the Dyfentery. Capt. James Budd, (late from Broad Creek) aged upwards of 80, of lingering disease.
The Committee of Health being fully satisfied, that the town was never more healthy than it now is, think it unnecessary any longer to continue their daily publications of the deaths. They conceive the public must be satisfied of the truth of their reports, and that there is not the least danger to be apprehended from the freest intercourse with the town.
The Committee expect to meet as heretofore for some short time, to make the necessary arrangements, for concluding the whole of the business intrusted to their care, and request that all persons having demands on them, will send their accounts to Alex'r. McKim, for payment. Signed by the Commissioners.
Messrs. Printers,
At the moment when a fair investigation of the political scenes now acting in France is called for by every person, friendly to the cause of liberty, it is the duty of every good citizen to throw all the light he can on so interesting a subject.
The following extract, well calculated to elucidate the subject, will no doubt meet with a favorable reception.
"Bayonne, 20th August, 1794."
"The true and great leaders of the Committee of Public Safety, the men who for these last 14 months, have been at the head of the prosperous affairs of our country, still remain the great springs of all public business, with a new addition of well deserved confidence. Robert Lindet, well known by his profound knowledge in mathematics, directs the ways and means of victualling the armies, the navy and the republic. Carnot, formerly a Captain of Engineers, was and is at the head of all the military movements of fourteen numerous and well provided armies. Prieur has the home department and corresponds with all the constituted authorities. Billaud de Varennes, in concert with the eloquent Barrere, directs the foreign affairs. The Convention is composed of men who anxiously with the good of their country, firm and determined to die at their post rather than submit to a domestic or foreign tyrant. They possess the full confidence of the nation. At the approaching danger all the citizens of Paris moved with one common accord to the Convention Hall—there to form a rampart for their preservation. Robespierre, with 700 of his party, found himself without friends. Not a drop of blood was shed, but that of the conspirators and traitors to the republic. This is, my good friend, the fall of the last remaining faction. The leader of profound hypocrisy had, gradually, acquired the highest degree of confidence. The instant he had fixed for the slavery of freemen, was the moment of his fall. He was deserted and crushed, when in him the people found an aspiring dictator. After such an example, no one will be so daring as to attempt usurping the supreme power. This great event, as all those that preceded it, shews to the world the character and public spirit of the French nation, forever rallying to the representatives, sole depositaries of national power. They prove their firm determination to be free, and to be ruled only by the law. Tallien is wrongly represented as the leader of a party; and, in reality, such a man cannot exist: he is an honest man, and possesses abilities, with a truly patriotic spirit."
"This great event has not stopt the progress of our victorious armies.—Irun, Fontarabia, St. Sebastian, the roads leading to Madrid, and indeed to interior Spain, are in our hands. The aristocratic Treves and all its territory are overrun by our troops. In short to conclude with a member of our convention, victory is still the order of the day."
The Paper has been delayed beyond the usual time of going to press, in order to ascertain the truth of the report that Mr. Fitzsimons had carried the Election by a majority of four, but after diligent enquiry, it cannot be ascertained that there is any foundation for the report. An Express arrived in town from the army at 12 o'clock; he left it on the day of election, and brings no intelligence concerning the result.
LONDON, August 19.
Public opinion is very much divided in respect to the consequences of the last Revolution in Paris; some think that it has given one more shock to the French Revolution; while others are of opinion that it has placed it in a more advantageous situation than ever to consolidate its power by having given an opportunity to the people to shew their attachment to the Convention. The late Revolution has at o gained a triumph over the Commons of Paris, which has, on more occasions than one, rivalled the legislative power.
It appears to us, that the revolutionary government to which France has submitted, is, in its nature, a government without constitution and without law; entirely arbitrary; subjects to the caprices of popular tribunes, who take the reins by turn. Such a government naturally gives birth to factions, which it foment, and can only exist by them. These factions, in destroying each other, keep up a certain degree of fermentation, which, from the violence of the movements, may be mistaken for vigorous exertions; but, in fact, they are but as the skeleton of a body worn down by fever, which produces different colours and convulsions, exhausts the frame, and ends in death, when all the humors are exhausted. Hence we conclude, that the revolutionary government tends of itself, and in its own nature, towards a desolution, more or less near, but always certain.
The French can get rid of this state of convulsion only by a regular government.
The downfall of Robespierre and his faction was brought about by Bourdon de l'Oise and Tallien, who were joined by Legendre, Billaud Varennes, and Collot d'Herbois. By the late decree of the 12th ult. the jurisdiction of the Revolutionary Tribunal extended over all the Members of the Convention, and every direct and indirect attempt to corrupt the morals of the people was rendered a capital crime. This decree destroyed the popularity of Robespierre and his party, and their adversaries availed themselves of the first opportunity to undo them.
The French ships of war are built much sharper than ours, and answer the helm with a certainty that is astonishing. An officer assured us, that their Eighty gun ships, when under jury masts, obey the rudder as easily, as when the full press of sail can be had from the proper masts. This is a desideratum here.
It is said that four hundred waggons will scarcely contain the moveables of the Elector of Cologne, (who is a Bishop) whilst the common pedlar's pack would have contained all the property of the Apostles.
Mr. Jefferson, the American Minister, at present in Paris, is charged with a special message to the King of Prussia in favor of De La Fayette.
When Madame de Chateau Briant was going to be executed in Paris many years ago for poisoning her husband—She said "she hoped God would be merciful to her illustrious family." This was carrying the pride of blood some height.
A poor blind man at a village near Reading, Berks, playing a considerable time "God save the King!" upon hand organ not meeting with such success, as his loyalty expected, exclaimed in a violent rage of disappointment—"D—n my eyes if ever I was before in such a Jacobine hole as this!"

Select Stories,
For the instruction and amusement of Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin. Extract from the Preface. "To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing children, whilst at the same time the infant Genius is raised and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem."
"Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature. "Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valuable substitute (where such may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author." At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be had the following

Embellished with striking likenesses of that Citizen of the World.
By JOHN AIKEN, M. D. To which is subjoined an ODE, inferred to John Howard, by William Bayley, Esq.
FROM realm to realm, with cross or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep wastes, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish howls aloud, and fetters clank: To caves beyond with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; —Osward be moves!—Disease and death retire, And murm'ring demons bate him, and admire. Sept. 1 22w2w 12wtf.

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