BOOKS, PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Mathew Carey, No. 118, Market Street.
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs. Rowson, of the New Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extracts from the Critical Review, April 1793, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artful and affecting; the descriptions natural and affecting; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is done; we think, prop it distributed.  1. The Inquisitor—By Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents.  2. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vol. 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper; 1 dollar and 75 cents, fine.  3. Notes on the State of Virginia—By Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half.  4. 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 preferred to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot change 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 circumstantial action, whether we be 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 so noble a 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 disperse the clouds of political deception, they 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 12.

Embellished with a map of Barbary, comprehending Morocco, Fez, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, November 25, 1794.
Debate on Mr. Fitzsimon's motion relative to self-created societies.
(Debate Continued.)
Mr. Giles declared that he felt his situation extremely delicate. On one hand it was highly painful to differ from the gentlemen on the other side of the question. It was likewise extremely disagreeable to be engaged in saying anything that might seem to thwart the sentiments of the President, or imply any want of deference or politeness for so eminent a character. He had endeavored to show that the President really never wanted or wished for any echo of this nature, and he was still convinced that such was the fact. He was desirous of conciliation, but he never could attempt it, without an abandonment of opinion, without conviction that he was wrong. He now saw evidently that conciliation could not be obtained. He had done every thing in his power to obtain the best information. He had listened attentively to all sides, and if conviction had come home to his mind, would have announced the alteration of his sentiments. There was one circumstance, in particular which persuaded him, that the arguments employed on the opposite side were erroneous, which was that gentlemen, who on other topics had been clear, acute and logical, could not, on this subject bring themselves to any definite conclusion. At the same time, after hearing so many eloquent harangues for two days past, he could not suspect them for any want of natural ingenuity. One member (Mr. Murray) had inveighed against all societies, but when pushed hard, he excepted the republican society of Baltimore.
Mr. Giles proceeded to draw a parallel between what is now endeavoured to be done in the House of Representatives, and what has lately been done in France. When once the business of denunciation begins, nobody can tell where it will end. Robespierre, its great progenitor, has been its victim, and who can tell what kind of retorts may be attempted in America. The idea is not new; and has always, in the end, led to the destruction of the parties who were its authors. Mr. Giles then adverted to the title of eloquence that has lately been introduced into this place. We have had two days of declamation. Looking at Mr. Sedgwick he said that one would think Demosthenes and Cicero had risen from the dust, and revisited this earth to inculcate their favorite maxim of ACTIO! ACTIO! He was sorry to say what he feared was true, that there was at least as much personal irritation, as deliberate judgment, employed on this question, and more he doubted of the former than of the latter.
The House had proposed to denounce the Democratic Societies. It was impossible to see where such a business might end, perhaps the Democrats, when they got uppermost, would denounce the Anti-Democrats. Mr. Giles said that he employed this LAST term, because the term of Aristocrats would, he believed, be unacceptable to every party in the union. The present amendment confounded the innocent with the guilty. Many brave men had stepped forward from these Societies on the present occasion. Indeed there were no proofs that any member of these Societies had been guilty. The Baltimore Republican Society were among the very first who took up arms to suppress the insurrection, and, if Mr. Giles was not misinformed, many of the Philadelphia democrats had done the same. [This circumstance is perfectly known] The inconsistency, therefore, of this vote of censure, would strike all America.
Mr. Giles remarked, that he would be very glad to know what Congress would say to any gentleman, a member of a Democratic Society, who had gone to suppress the western Insurrection. He wished for leave of the committee to personify such a man "I am," said he, "a member of a Democratic Society. I am likewise a member of a Republican Society. The moment that I heard of the western insurrection, I took up my musket as a volunteer, and marched three hundred miles to suppress the insurrection," Mr. Giles could give the address, but he was altogether at a loss for what sort of answer could be made to such a gentleman. It had been said, that when people censured the House, that the House were entitled to return the compliment by censuring them.
This position Mr. Giles denied. "No Sir" said he, "the public have a right to censure us, and we have not a right to censure them. We have a title, as individuals, but when we undertake this business in the shape of a legislative body, we are as much a self-created society, as any democratic club in the union. We are neither authorized by the constitution, nor paid by the citizens of the United States, for assuming the office of censorship. Look into the constitution. We are authorized to legislate, but will gentlemen shew me a clause authorizing us to pass votes of censure, or, above all, to pass votes of censure and reprobation upon our constituents? Sir, if such a clause had been inserted in the constitution, it never would have gone through. The people never would have suffered it." Mr. Giles here enlarged on the impropriety of waiting the time of the committee, and the treasure of the United States on three or four words of an address. It was said that this was a delicate subject. Why then meddle with it? we are leaving the majesty of the people behind us by this kind of trifling. Gentlemen express their attachment to the liberty of the press, and they affirm that by this vote of censure they will not encroach upon it. The distinction is extremely minute between the office of a censor and that of a legislator. It is likely that they may be very soon confounded together. Mr. Giles requested gentlemen to look at the obvious consequences of what they were doing. It had been said, that this vote of censure would fin the societies. They were tumbling into dust and contempt. Why, in the newspapers of this very morning, a meeting was advertised for to-morrow night. This was the natural progress of things. Here Mr. Giles explained the apparent prospect that the newspapers will presently be suffocated with columns of votes, resolutions, and epistolary lumber of all sorts. Mr. Giles then stated an important distinction. Many people, who condemn the proceedings of the democratic societies, yet will not chuse to see them divested of the unalienable privilege of thinking, of speaking, of writing, and of printing. Persons may condemn the abuse in exercising a right and yet feel the strongest sympathy with the right itself. Are not Muir and Palmer, and the other martyrs of Scotch despotism, toasted from one end of the continent to the other? And why is it so? These men asserted the right of thinking, of speaking, of writing, and of printing. Yet even their treatment, harsh as it was, did not come quite up to that proposed in the committee, for the democratic societies. For even these people had at least the semblance of a trial; but the democratic societies have not even that. There is only one paper on the table that brings any evidence on the subject, and that paper expressly tells us that the seeds of the western insurrection were planted by the very first introduction of the excise law, that is to say, some years before the democratic societies had a being. The excise and the opposition to it began together. The democratic societies, when they heard of the insurrection, concurred in a most explicit reprobation of it, and published their resolutions to that purpose. Mr. Giles said that he himself could not be said to have an aversion to excise, for he had been a friend to the principle, and had only voted against the law itself, because it was not restricted to a limited time. A member had yesterday entertained the Committee with a panegyric upon excise. Mr. Giles was very well disposed to listen to an annual eulogium on the same topic.
Mr. Giles said, that he had been an object of calumny, misrepresentation, and abuse; but this should not hinder him from proceeding in the direct line of conscious rectitude. He should always preserve that dignity of conduct, to treat abuse with silent contempt. "I have been," said Mr. Giles, "and I still am dissatisfied with the funding system. Its object at first was to divide the people of the United States into two classes, Debtors and Creditors; let us have the privilege of honestly paying this debt. This is the fare; and there is no wonder of the patient sometimes winces under it. Pay off the public debt, and I assure that my censures of government shall be at an end." Mr. Giles said that he had felt a pain in differing from the gentlemen on the other side of the question. He pressed this idea upon their attention. He quoted that passage in the speech, which has already been cited in a former sketch of this debate, by Mr. Nicholas, and where the President addresses himself to every description of citizens. Mr. Giles insisted that the President did not wish Congress to intermeddle in the business. It was not them but the people to whom he addressed and whom he wished to become censors. He was therefore consistent with the President, but even had he differed from the President, he enjoyed the consolation of having come forward to oppose the very first step made in America to curb public opinion.
It had yesterday been alleged, that he had a work trait in the character of democratic societies, that they began their business after dinner, bolted their doors, and voted in the dark. This was a very alarming and detestable species of conduct. When the accusation was true or not Mr. Giles could not tell, from personal knowledge, for he knew nothing about these societies unless by report. "But, Mr. Chairman" said he, pointing at the room, "Is there no other place where people bolt their doors, and vote in the dark, which transacts its business in this way? Is there not a branch of the Legislature, and, while things are so, does it become us to censure other people for voting in this way? We have been drawn into this thing as a point of deference and politeness to the President, and nothing could give Mr. Giles greater pain than even an appearance, (for he insisted differing from the President, he could with that nothing of this kind should appear upon the journals, but that an explicit vote might be avoided by the previous question. He had wished for an accommodation, but gentlemen had got on the ping system , and nothing less than all that they wanted would content them. No accommodation was in their eyes admissible.
Mr. Boudinot thought that the speaker had wandered from their proper line of argument. If any bystander, had come into the house to hear the debates of this day, without a previous knowledge of the point in dispute, it would have been impossible for him even to conjecture what question was before the Committee. It had been said that we ought not to censure where we cannot punish. By the same rule we ought not to approve where we cannot reward. It was urged that if the Democratic Societies are unlawful, we ought to punish them, but if otherwise we ought to let them alone. Mr. Boudinot denied this axiom, many things were extremely deserving of censure which it was impossible to punish. He cited, as a point in law, that if a person were to call him a rogue and a villain , an action would not lie, unless he could specify an injury suffered by this assertion. He employed as an argument against the whole opposition to the original amendment, that no Societies were included in this censure but such as were guilty. Self created societies had done such and such a thing; but the President neither said nor intended to say; nor was it possible to misinterpret his words into an intention of saying, that all self created societies had been partners in exciting the western insurrection. The amendment therefore included nothing like an indiscriminate censure, for it was levelled only at the guilty.
The whole reasoning of the gentlemen, on the opposite side of the question was entirely out of place. Gentlemen proceeded upon an utter misapplication. It was asked what good would follow from this vote of censure! Mr. Boudinot foresees substantial advantages. It would operate as a warning both to the members of the society and to other citizens of the United States. Mr. Boudinot strongly pressed the impropriety of dissenting from the President.
Mr. Scott began by observing that he had lived for twenty-five years in the very midst of the place, (Washington county) where the insurrection broke out. He knew that there were self created societies in that part of the country, and he likewise knew that they had inflamed the insurrection; for some of the leaders of those societies had likewise been the leaders of the riots. The speech of the President, and the letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, were in every particular strictly true. Mr. Scott himself, who was in the midst of the whole scene, could not have given a more candid and accurate account of it than that of the President and Mr. Hamilton. Whether other democratic societies, besides those in the four western counties, had assisted in kindling the disturbances, Mr. Scott could not say. Their publications we have all seen. Farther Mr. Scott knew nothing, as thus far every member knew as much himself. Before he sat down, there was one point which he anxiously pressed upon the House; and this was, that these deluded people were objects of real pity. They were in the first place grossly ignorant, and they had been persuaded, by the utmost diligence of sedition, that the American government was, even in theory, the very worst in the world; and next, that in practice it was executed much worse than any other government under the sun.
(Debate to be continued.)
PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER 29.
A Correspondent remarks, that inasmuch as the Jacobin Clubs derive their origin from Satan himself, it is wrong to say, they are SELF-CREATED —In fact it would be to run counter to the old adage, which recommends giving to the Devil his due! For altho' it is admitted by all parties that these clubs are composed chiefly of poor devils, yet it is plainly to be inferred from their actions, that the powers delegated to them by their great Prototypes are of the destructive, and not of the creative kind.
From a Correspondent.
When this country is on the eve of a happy termination of our differences with Great Britain, scurrilous remarks, which are as inconsistent with mutual harmony as with public decency, can only be pleasing to the enemies of peace, and of national respectability. Such publications are known to be causes of discontent among nations,

and have been frequently the ground of complaint and remonstrance. No one will pretend, that they can produce any good effect; that they may produce bad effects is apprehended by every reflecting citizen who values the blessings of peace. These remarks have been excited by a publication in a morning paper.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 27.
An obliging friend has furnished the Editor with Paris papers of the 12th and 13th Vendemiaire, 3d and 4th October, from which he hastens to translate the following.
[Am. Minerva.]
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
D'ANDRE DUMONT, President.
Vendemiaire 12—d Oct.
The President announced that the citizens of Paris demand the denunciation of a conspiracy formed against the national representation. They were instantly admitted.
After having announced that agitators intrude into the sections for the purpose of exciting trouble and substituting anarchy and the cry of terror, in the place of public voice; the petitioners read a declaration, signed by many citizens of the section of Lepelletier, containing an abstract of what had passed at the sittings of 10 Vendemiaire.
The result was, that a member having read a motion for soliciting the Convention on the political situation of the Republic, presented by Robert Lyndet, a motion which was supported by a majority, the President was not able to put it to the vote, because the disturbers had excited disorder in the assembly by clamours and a scandalous tumult.
A person named Chretien, an ex-juror of the revolutionary tribunal, showed, on this occasion, the most fury and rage. He also caused, by excessive tumult, the assembly to be dissolved, and after half after ten o'clock, an order was passed to send a small deputation to the Jacobins to congratulate them on the disclosure of Andouin.
A second declaration proves that, according to his own confession, Chretien was at the Jacobins on the night of the 9th Thermidor, July 27, and that he participated in the rebellion and intrigues of the conspirators.
Dubois-Crance proposed a decree of arrest against this man, and it was passed unanimously.
The measure, said Thuriot, is not sufficient to secure the public safety. We ought not to doubt that there exists in fact a conspiracy against the Republic, and we ought to know its authors.
How! shall our armies make tyrants tremble, and should we hesitate to encain certain villains and deliver them to the sword of justice? All who belong to the faction impudently raise their heads, certain that they shall not escape national justice. They would compass every thing—it is the system of the combined powers. Be not deceived; all who seek to divide the citizens, all who would establish liberty by tyranny, arbitrary will and terror, who dare rise in opposition to the law, to injure and degrade the national representation, all! short who call themselves superannuated patriots, belong to the faction of Robespierre.
There is not nor do I know of any patriots in France, but those who are friendly to public order, who obey the laws, and who respect the majesty of the people and their representation.
I demand that the Convention enjoin on the revolutionary tribunal to continue their instructions upon the conspiracy of Robespierre, and that the committee of general safety cause to be sent to the public accuser without delay, the papers and instructions now in their possession. (Applaudes.)
Merlin of Douay. I ought to announce to the Convention that the correspondence of the committee of public safety, for 15 days past, informs us that the coalesced powers, especially the Pope, despair of any advantage from the fall of Robespierre, and that Pitt and his council have decided at last that it is necessary, in good earnest, to excite a revolution in France.
The motion of Thuriot was decreed. Chaudet demanded that Clemence and Moutier, of the section of Mont-Blanc, who were set at liberty by a precipitate decree of the Convention, be re-imprisoned.
An excellent hint for American Jacobins, who call themselves patriots by way of distinction. It is a universal truth, that he who is much of a virtue seldom is and are always to be suspected. Let us have good hints for democrats—diplomats.
Bourdon (of the Loire) said there is no species of crime, which these men have not committed in the department of the Seine and Oise. The decree of arrest was passed.
It was also decreed that in future all applications for liberty be transmitted for examination to the committee of general safety.
Merlin of Thionville read an abstract of what had passed the last decade at the section of William Tell.
Seven eighths of the assembly were paralysed by a stroke of the agitators, who had prevented the reading of the report of Robert Lyndet, and caused a great scandal in the section. The committee of general safety knows the authors of this tumult.
We remarked among them the members of the ancient revolutionary committee of the section. This circumstance caused Laporte to denounce, as a new list of Vendee-men and owls, the greatest number of those who adhered to those superior committees. It is there, said he, the influence of Robespierre operates in a manner that must dishonor the revolution.
Laporte proposed to demand of every public functionary, an account of his conduct on the night of 9th Thermidor, July 27.
Freron announced, as a certain fact, that many members of the revolutionary committees had been united with the commune on that night, and that they had there taken orders, which they have since erased from their records. He wished that on that very day, the records of the deliberations of the revolutionary committees should be deposited with the committee of general safety.
Bourdon of Oise informs that this committee has made war on the rogues and villains, and that it had delivered over to the criminal tribunal the whole revolutionary committee of the section of the Bonnet Rouge, as robbers or forgers.
Legendre excited a warm discussion by denouncing nominally to the people and Convention Barrere, Collot d'Herbois, and Billaud Varennes, as conspirators. He reproached them with having concealed from the Assembly, the crimes of Robespierre, which had been known to the Committee of Public Safety, for six months, as Billaud had said, under a pretext that they were afraid of producing a schism in the Committee.
This accusation, publicly renewed, created a great and tremendous debate, until the President was obliged to put on his hat to restore tranquility. The accused were heard successively, and they all testified their astonishment that they should be separated from their ancient colleagues, Carnot, Robert Lyndet Prieur (de la Cote d'Or) with whom they had constantly deliberated in the Committee of Public Safety, upon the measures of government, and they called for their testimony, to explain the conduct of each of the accused.
Carnot and Prieur declared at the tribune, that Barrere, Billaud Varennes, and Collot d'Herbois, had constantly voted with them against Robespierre, and that in all circumstances, they had not hesitated to sign with confidence the same acts. If my Colleagues, said Carnot, are criminal, so am I; and I will not divide my fate from theirs. I shall say only, that when I urged the denunciation of Robespierre to the Convention, they accused me of violence and too much precipitation. But in that their intentions were pure.
The testimony of Carnot and Prieur produced a great effect on the Assembly, and all explanations ceased.
Merlin of Thionville proposed the formation of a Commission for the purpose of examining the different accusations—there was no further debate on this subject. Then Breard called for the order of the day, which had already been rejected, but which was adopted definitively on his motion. (Applaudes.)
Treilhard came, in the name of the united Committees, to call the attention of the Assembly to new successes obtained by the armies of the Republic.
The important post of Kaiserslautern, which fell into the hands of the enemy on the first of the second sans culottide, is re-taken by the Republicans. The armies of the North have seized Creve Coeur in Brabant, a strongly fortified place on the Meuse, which is the principal key of Bois-le-Duc, and which renders us masters of the inundations.
This capture is due to the bravery of Delmas, general of Division. He attacked the place with cannon, he opened a trench with 83 toises of the glacis, & leaped, on horse-back, the palisades of the fort: eight battalions of chasseurs followed him.
Five hundred men in garrison have sworn not to bear arms against the republic, unless individually exchanged—
22 cannon, 1000 new fusils, 30 thousand pounds of powder, large quantities of ammunition, and terror in Bois-le-Duc—these are the fruits of this victory.
The news from the eastern Pyrenees is also very favorable. The Spanish General La Union has attempted to approach Bellegarde; but with ill success. Neither the number, nor advantageous position of the enemy could render them victorious. They were everywhere repulsed and driven into their entrenchments. We have taken from them 4 pieces of cannon, and about 60 Spaniards were left slain on the field of battle. The loss on our part was fifty one wounded part and slain in proportion.
We notice a trait of Valonne, born at Liege, who saved the life of a wounded Republican, and bore him off on his shoulders. This brave man was received with sensibility and recompense.
It is proved by an official return, that instead of 400 cannon taken before this day from the Spaniards, the number taken is 472, and 28,000 fusils instead of 15,000.
Treilhard ended his report by communicating the news from Marceilles.
On the 5th Vendemiaire, Sept. 26 at 2 o'clock P. M. Marceilles raised the standard of a rebellion the most extraordinary. The National Convention was outraged, and the representatives of the People, Serres and Aguis, insulted and threatened. There was a most riotous collection of people, at the head of which were the horse and many of the cannoniers of Marceilles.
The Representatives of the people complain bitterly of these two corps; but assure us that the body of the citizens are very faithful, and that in all the tumults, not a drop of blood has been shed. There will not be any say they, except such as the law will reclaim. They have named a commission to try the rioters taken in arms, menacing the National Convention.
The armed force at Marceilles have well fulfilled their duty; the first battalion of Gravitliers makes apart of them. They regulated prudently all the movements, and protected the arsenals, which the insurgents intended to besiege, they resisted all attempts to seduce them from their duty.
The Convention passed a decree, approving of the measures taken by the representatives of the people at Marceilles, viz. their forming of a commission and nominating its members.
The Horse of Marceilles are licentious. The representatives will call to account all those who had any share in the insurrection. The committee of public safety is charged to send sufficient forces to Marceilles.
October 2.
The popular society of Affel, department of the Corese, sent their profession of faith: in the first article it is declared, that Patriotism and humanity are incompatible. [Look to that, ye Jacobins.]
Clauzel rose to encounter this principle. Patriotism, said he, is the germ of all the virtues—to maintain that humanity cannot unite with it, is to degrade patriotism. I call for a reprobation of this article.
It is time, added Thibaudot, that the Convention should speak plainly—it cannot permit public opinion to fluctuate, when it sees men wrangling to obtain a greater or less share of influence; perhaps to save their heads. There has been presented to you a report, in which are developed the principles which you profess, but mixed with extensive views of commerce and politics; they have perhaps not sufficiently fixed public opinion. I demand that your three committees of legislation, of surety and of public safety, be charged to prepare an address, explanatory of the principles which the Convention professes. Then you will offer to patriots a rallying point: then you will have a touch-stone by which rogues and intriguers will be known, and when they would raise their voices, they will be considered as conspirators.
Having made these general observations, I pass to a particular fact. There are in the bulletin tricks unworthy of republicans. Yesterday was read an address from Poitiers, wherein I speak of the revival of moderation and aristocracy. I have examined this address, and have discovered that it was prepared seven weeks past, one of the signers has been dead 5 weeks, and others are villains who stole from the committee of vigilance the effects of those who are imprisoned.
I ought to add that this address was inserted in the bulletin; but the letter of the representative Cheuvin, now employed in that department which was read 8 days ago, is not inserted in the bulletin.
October 3.
Members elected to the commission of
the colonies—Laporte, Marce, Prieur of Marne, Genilleux, Guyomar, Gregoire, Thibaudot, Lecointre, Puraeaux, Garant and Coulon. L. S. Suppleans or substitutes are: Ponche (of Nantz) Lozeau, Rewel, Mazade, Peiot.
The representatives, Threhourd and Faure, in commission at Brest and L'Orient, communicated the following fact.—An English vessel, a prize to one of our frigates, sunk at a great distance from shore. Five of our fellow-citizens attempted to save themselves in a boat, and after experiencing, for many days, the horrors of almost certain death, hunger, thirst and every evil incident to such a situation, they met an American vessel bound from Bourdeaux to Baltimore. Captain Robin, who commanded her, furnished our brethren with all succors in his power in cloathing and provisions; and changed his course to put back into Brest. The Captain and his crew, accompanied this act of virtue with the most sincere expressions of attachment to the French Republicans. [Applaudes.]
Guezios proposed to declare that the Captain and crew of the American ship have deserved well of the French Republic.
Decreed. We need not be surprised, replied Clouzel, Vexaxis of the committee of correspondence, who on hearing of the arrest of Robespierre, cried out "the convention wishes then to effect a counter-revolution." This deputy has since sent into his department models of addresses of a known tenor. I call for a revival of the committee of correspondence.
After some debate the propositions of Thibaudot were decreed, and the convention passed to the order of the day on the revival of the committee of correspondence. To be Continued.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 12.
The Austrians, not trusting to the Hollanders for the defence of Maastricht, have thrown into that city, a body of 600 men, with a general who has received orders to defend it to the last extremity.
A letter from Amsterdam, in the "Courier of the Convention," of Oct. 3d, says that great surprise had been occasioned by the fall of the age of the banks; an event which has proved very prejudicial. This event is ascribed to the great supply of bank receipts in market. The merchants who are immensely interested in the banks, have neither the courage nor power to obtain a facility into the reconstitution of the bank, which is now wholly in the direction of the Regency or Government of that city. They therefore prefer selling their bank paper at a discount, for the purpose of converting it into specie; rather than risk a loss of their whole capitals.
It is alleged that the Regency have drawn upon the bank for the specie necessary to carry on the present war; and thus impaired its credit. The real state of the coffers of that bank is kept a profound secret from all the world, except the immediate directors.

BALTIMORE, Nov. 24.
On Saturday evening last, being the close of the Theatrical performances, Wignel delivered an address to the audience present, expressive of grateful acknowledgments for the encouragement the company experienced in Baltimore, and concluded with his and their sincere wish for their individual happiness and the general prosperity of the state of Maryland—The applauses of the house served to shew Mr. Wignel was much respected, and would on a future occasion meet with the like success.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29.
This day arrived here from the Downs the brig molly Capt. Morgan in 49 days—She has Bro't papers to the 4th of Oct. some of which confirm the account of the late defeat of General Clairfait—accounts from Amsterdam to the 26th Sept. mention nothing new, except the investiture of Maastricht.
There is a letter which mentions the infancy of the king of Great Britain; it was received prior to the arrival of the Molly. One paper mentions that a difference between a great personage and Mr. Pitt was settled.

French Barbarity.
The refined cruelty of the Sans Culotes has lately been manifested in a striking point of view. Some of their frigates have taken ten or twelve Scottish ships, and most unmercifully have put the whole of their prisoners on board one of the captured vessels, and sent them to Scotland.
PORT OF PHILADELPHIA
Captain Webb, seven days from Norfolk, informs that on Wednesday week, 3 French Merchantmen armed on Flute, put into Hampton Road, and the same time they chased the British sloop of war, the Lynx, into the road. On Saturday last coming out, Capt. W. to obtain some information, went on board the Commanders ship, of 34 guns, who informed him, that they were 46 days from Bellisle; and that they sailed from thence, in company with 6 sail of the line, destined for the West-Indies or the continent of America; but he believed for the former—He further told Captain W. that they parted a 26 gun ship in a certain lat. when he came out with them, the two other one 26 and the other 24 guns.
Capt. Dunn from New-York informs that on Wednesday last, about 6 miles outside of Cape-May, he saw a British Frigate standing in for the Cape.

G. W. PEALE.
EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the invitation and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Bank, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of its visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications in a private book, which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled; and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

Lane, living on the premises, will show this tract.
Another tract in Fairfax county, called Springfield, containing 2020 1-2 acres, about 13 miles from Alexandria and 10 from Washington; abounds with fine springs and meadow ground, and may be seen by applying to Mr. John Wood, living on part of it.
Another tract in Fairfax county, containing 392 acres, on Turkey-cock Run, about 6 miles from Alexandria.
Another tract in Fairfax county, containing about 176 acres, adjoining Mr. J. Watson's seat, about four miles from Alexandria.

An undivided moiety in another tract, containing about 284 acres, in Fairfax county, about 5 miles from Washington, & 9 from Alexandria, where J. Robinson formerly lived.
Another parcel of land, within a mile of Alexandria, containing about 24 acres, and to be sold in acre or half-acre lots.
Also, sundry unimproved lots of various sizes, in different parts of the town of Alexandria.
To describe the premises more particularly is deemed unnecessary, as it is expected every person will examine and view whatever part he shall be inclined to buy. My only object being to raise a certain sum of money, by selling so many or such parts of the aforesaid tracts of land and lots as shall be necessary for that purpose, one half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of contract, and the other within a year from the first day of August next, and at the time of delivering possession or executing a legal conveyance. The lands remaining unsold, except the tract in Prince William, after raising a limited sum, will be divided into tenements, and leased for a term of years. From the 12th day of October next, till the 19th of December, I shall be in the city of Richmond, and after that time I shall remain at home, in Alexandria, at which places, or elsewhere, I shall be prepared to detail particulars, and to enter into contracts.

To the Public.
A SUBSCRIPTION is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg.
At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 10, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient Subscription is obtained, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as may be thought to be of the greatest utility the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had of Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual Sense of the Ten Commandments; The Universal Theology of the Church; which was foretold in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 9, 10, 22, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 2.
A Summary View of the Hebrew Scriptures of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting the weight of evidence and yet no person by rational inquiry has been able to refute the arguments of the author, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously circulated to discredit the honourable Emanuel Swedenborg, as well as his Works, and to prevent the candid and sincere inquiry into the truths of the highest importance. A serious examination of the Works for which it is to be hoped, that being the object and love of the Truth for its own sake, will be found in the end their active excellency and regard them as they justly deserve, the end receive both proof and support.
