MR. FERNON,
WITH respect to the effects of a peace in Europe upon our commerce and agriculture, I can see no reason to apprehend any very speedy or important changes; except, as I have before observed, of our own producing. Our commerce extending to articles only of the first necessity, is not a commerce which can at choice be taken up or laid aside—it is essential to other nations; and therefore in reason we may dictate the terms on which it shall be conducted. Let it be remembered our great mart is the West-Indies; this the war has almost ruined; houses burnt, plantations destroyed, will at the peace require to be reëstablished. In this beneficent office we must be employed: our boards, shingles, and lumber, must be had, and the produce of our soil must feed their islanders. Europe will for many years have little to export; it will be fortunate if she can produce enough for her own inhabitants: we must therefore supply our neighbors in the West-Indies. Now we do this at present, and it forms the richest commerce we have. Shall we then relinquish it—shall we sign an act of cession of this rich possession of our own? I assert that no nation on earth can shut the West-Indies to the free egress and ingress of our shipping but ourselves. I deny that any nation but us can, for a long time to come, be relied on to supply them what is indispensable to their cultivation and existence. God Almighty by placing them in our neighborhood plainly indicates their natural dependence on us; and when he made the passage wide between us, I imagine he did not intend it should be confined to a navigation on our parts in canoes of 70 tons only. If therefore we assert, as we ought, our right to a free navigation to the West-Indies, our vessels will be every day increasing, and our agriculture obtain the highest price from those countries of the world who give us gold, silver, or what is as good, if not better, coffee, sugar, cotton and indigo, molasses and cocoa, in exchange. The planters in the West-Indies have an equal harvest with us in this open trade, because they will by means of it extract the highest price possible for their productions. Who then, is to stand in the way of the interest of the planters in the West-Indies, and of ourselves, the two parties immediately concerned? Is it a power three thousand miles off, occupying some islands in the Atlantic, who is to dictate such hard terms to us? Fortunately we have here too the staff in our own hands. We are the best customer for her manufactures; and we ought to make this circumstance of our importing such immense quantities of European articles, the ground on which we claim a trade open to the West-Indies. Let us then give our import trade in Europe to that nation who shall encourage most our navigation and export trade—not to her who restricts them most; and our interests, commercial or agricultural, will have nothing to fear from a GENERAL PEACE.

NORFOLK, July 10.
DIED, on Tuesday last, after a short illness, Mrs. Pollard, wife of Benjamin Pollard, Esq. of this Town.
Thou God I who from the dizzying Heights, Where Angel-Fancy never flew, Look'd down with unretired Light On the great Plan thy pencil drew: And saw thy sinking Favorite bend, Her radiant Village to the Dusk; Retire from every Earthly Friend, And place in thee her only Trust. From the gay Heaven thy Presence fills, Send to each Child a Smile of thine; Shield them from this World's numerous Ills, And guide them with a hand divine. Cloth'd in the splendid Robe of Day, Let Uriel to her Friends appear, Plant in each Breast a sunny Ray, And dry the ever-falling Tear. For not a Spirit of the Sky, Nor one that treads the dusty Road, Sits happier in the Realm on high, Than Pollard in her new abode.

TOWN-MEETING.
As it will be no doubt interesting, not only to the citizens of this State at large, but to the citizens of other States, to have an accurate idea of the circumstances, which preceded and attended the meeting of Saturday last, at the City Hall, the following statement is offered as one which may be depended upon.
The intelligence of the Town Meeting at Boston, which had entered into certain resolutions, disapproving of the Treaty lately negotiated with Great Britain, had no sooner reached this city, than a buzz, began to prevail that a similar meeting would speedily be held here. It was observed very soon after, that particular characters were very active in going about the city to inculcate the necessity of such a meeting.
On Thursday evening there appeared in several of the papers an anonymous invitation to the citizens, to meet at the City Hall on Saturday at 12 o'clock, for the purpose of uniting their common efforts with their fellow citizens of Boston, who, at two general Town-Meetings, unanimously adopted resolutions expressive of their detestation of the Treaty made with Great-Britain.
On Friday a hand-bill was circulated, which contained these sentiments—That the Treaty surrenders rights and privileges ruinous to our commerce; that it yields advantages which we ought never to part with but with our lives; that it makes sacrifices for which we have no equivalent; that it mortals, that it settles principles dangerous to the liberties and happiness of the people, and destructive of our freedom and independence; and urged the citizens to attend the meeting, to express their detestation of the Treaty.
On the evening of the same day, a number of about 200 met at the Tontit Coffee House, and agreed upon an address to the citizens, which was
signed by their chairman, James Watson, and published the next morning.
This address recites the expressions above quoted from the hand-bill—appeals calmly to the judgment of the citizens, whether such a picture of the Treaty can be true—expresses this, among other sentiments, that they, the Merchants, then convened, had not yet been able to discover in the Treaty "those hideous features which are alleged to exist," and exhorts to calm discussion and deliberation, and to a general attendance of the citizens, that the true sense of the city might appear.
At the time and place appointed, a very numerous body of citizens assembled, among these the principal part of the Merchants, and many very respectable citizens of all descriptions.
A proposition was made for appointing a chairman. Col. William Smith and Commodore Nicholson, were named. The first was appointed, and took the chair.
A proposition was then made for adjourning to some place more convenient for a fair and full discussion of the Treaty; this was opposed on the following grounds: "That the treaty had been for some time in the hands of the citizens; that it was presumable each citizen had come there prepared to give his vote upon it; that if the opinions of citizens were to answer any purpose it must be speedily given, since it was probable a decision by the President of the United States would not be delayed; and that a discussion to be satisfactory and effectual, would require more time than the attending citizens could spare, and would tend to frustrate the objects of the meeting."
There were many voices for and against the proposal; but a part of the meeting was so clamorous, that no reply could be made to the objections to it, and no decision could be obtained.
While this question was agitated, a proposal was made, that those who disapproved the treaty should draw off to the right—those who approved of it, to the left. A considerable part of the meeting drew off to the right; but the greater part remained where they at first stood.
This attempt also proved abortive and decided nothing.
A citizen present, however, without recurrence to the chairman, proceeded to name rapidly, fifteen persons as a committee. There were a number of voices in favor of each; but this whole affair of the committee was conducted in such a manner that it is impossible to consider it as the act of the meeting.
The meeting became every moment more and more tumultuous and noisy. After the above transactions a motion for an adjournment was made and agreed to. Previous to this "the friends of fair discussion," as they were denominated, were invited to withdraw, and many withdrew accordingly, and were withdrawing when the motion for adjournment terminated the meeting.
The persons who took a lead in the business of the meeting on the side of those who advocated an immediate condemnation of the Treaty, were Mr. Brockholst Livingston, Mr. Peter Livingston, and Mr. Matyas Livingston; on the other side appeared Mr. Hamilton; and it is understood that Mr. King, and other gentlemen, stood ready to co-operate in a discussion if it could have been brought about.
In the course of the affair, three stones were thrown at Mr. Hamilton, the second of which glanced his forehead, but without material injury; one of the others struck another gentleman standing by him.
From the beginning, standards were displayed, bearing the colours of the United States and of France.
About this time, a part of those who had drawn off to the right, went round by another street, down Broad-Way, to the Battery, bearing a standard with the American and French colours—burnt the Treaty, and making a circuit, returned with an augmentation of numbers.
While this was doing, according to every appearance, without the knowledge of the great body of the citizens who continued their position before the City Hall, the following matters were going on, viz.
A resolution was proposed, which being handed to the chairman was read by him in the following words:
"Resolved, That it does not appear necessary to this meeting to express any opinion on the Treaty lately negotiated between the United States and Great-Britain, inasmuch as they have full confidence in the wisdom and virtue of the President of the United States, to whom, in conjunction with the Senate, the decision of the question constitutionally belongs."
A question was then taken upon it, by the Chairman—The voices for and against it were numerous and loud—The parties were desired to signify their assent, by raising their hands. Many hands were raised for and against it; but the noise and confusion were so great, that it was difficult, if not impracticable, to say with certainty where the majority lay: Both sides claim it with equal positiveness.
Immediately after the question on this resolution a proposition was made for appointing a committee to report, on Monday next, upon the Treaty. There is good cause to believe that this proposition was not generally heard by the meeting, and it is not ascertained that any question was taken upon it.
The following is a statement of the day by the Chairman.
To the Citizens of New-York. The inhabitants of this city having been called together, this day, to decide on the subject of the Treaty lately negotiated between the United States of America and Great-Britain; it may be considered incumbent upon me, being honored by the voice of my fellow citizens to preside at their meeting, to state to them, with impartiality the business of the day.
The first proposition had in view the adjournment to some place where a full and fair discussion of the Treaty might be had; which was opposed on the ground, that the Treaty had been for some time in the hands of the citizens; that it was presumable each citizen had come there prepared to give his vote upon it; that if the opinion of the citizens were to answer any purpose it must be speedily given; since it was probable a decision by the President of the United States would not be delayed; and that a discussion, to be satisfactory and effectual, would require more time than the attending citizens could spare, and would tend to frustrate the objects of the meeting.
The proposition was advocated and opposed (but no discussion had and a Resolution was then offered in
the following words "Resolved, that it does not appear to this meeting necessary to express any opinion on the Treaty negotiated between the United States and Great-Britain, inasmuch as they have full confidence in the wisdom and virtue of the President of the United States to whom, in conjunction with the Senate the decision of the question constitutionally belongs."
This resolution being handed to the chair, was read though not without interruption, and the question was put upon it. There were many who advocated and many who opposed it; but there was so much disorder that it was difficult to pronounce with certainty where the majority lay.
A proposition in the course of the meeting was made, that a committee should be appointed to report a set of resolutions to be submitted on Monday next, at 12 o'clock at the same place, expressive of the opinions of the Citizens on the subject of their meeting.
A member (not thro' the medium of the chair) then named fifteen citizens as a committee to whom the subject should be referred, and who should be required to report at the time and place above mentioned. The persons named were Mr. B. Livingston, Mr. I. Clason, Col. H. Rutgers, Mr. F. Nixon, Mr. A. Varick, Mr. I. R. Livingston, Mr. Jno. Broome, Mr. Simpson, Mr. Elting, Mr. Denning, Mr. Osgood, Mr. Gelfon, Mr. W. W. Gilbert, Mr. Brower and Mr. Gurdon Mummford. For each of these gentlemen there were many voices; but the noise was so considerable that it is hard to pronounce with certainty, whether this proceeding was clearly understood by the meeting at large.
A motion for an adjournment, to meet at the same place on Monday next at 12 o'clock was then made; and an adjournment, thereon took place.

RESOLVED, as the opinion of this Society, that the constitution of the United States, the sacred instrument of our freedom, which every public officer has sworn to preserve inviolate, has provided, that the different departments of the government should be kept distinct; and consequently to unite them is a violation of it, & an encroachment upon the liberties of the people, guaranteed by that instrument.
2. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, that as by the constitution all treaties are declared to be the supreme law of the land, it becomes the duty of the judiciary to expound and apply them; to permit, therefore, an officer in that department to share in their formation, is to unite distinct functions, and tends to level the barriers of our freedom, and to establish precedents pregnant with danger.
3. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, that justice requires, and the security of the citizens of the United States, claims an independence in the judiciary power: that permitting the executive offices of honor and profit upon judges, is to make them its creatures, rather than the unprejudiced and inflexible guardians of the constitution and the laws.
4. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, that from the nature and terms of an impeachment against a President, it is not only necessary that the chief justice of the United States should preside in the Senate, but that he should be above the bias which the honors and emoluments in the gift of the executive might create; that it is, therefore, contrary to the intent and spirit of the constitution to give him a foreign mission, or to annex any office to that which he already holds.
5. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, that every attempt to supercede legislative functions by executive interference, is highly dangerous to the independence of the legislature and subversive of the rights of representation.
6. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, that the appointment of John Jay, chief justice of the United States, as Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Great-Britain, is contrary to the spirit and meaning of the constitution; as it unites in the same person, judicial and legislative functions, tends to make him dependent upon the President, destroys the check by impeachment upon the executive, and has had a tendency to control the proceedings of the legislature, the appointment having been made at a time when Congress were engaged in such measures as tended to secure a compliance with our just demands.
7. Resolved, as the opinion of this Society, that after the declaration made by John Jay, that Great-Britain was justifiable in her detention of the western posts, it was a sacrifice of the interests and peace of the United States to commit a negotiation to him, in which the evacuation of those posts ought to form an essential part; that to abandon them is to put at stake the blood of our fellow-citizens on the frontiers, is to give birth to a perpetual military establishment, an endless war, and all the oppressions resulting from excise and heavy taxation.
8. Resolved, That the above resolutions be made public, that they be immediately transmitted to all the democratic societies in the union, as a protest of freedom, against the most unconstitutional and dangerous measure in the annals of the United States, and as an evidence, that no influence or authority whatever shall awe into a tacit sacrifice of their sacred rights.

Philadelphia, July 21.
LATEST FOREIGN ADVICES. By the ship GEORGE from Liverpool
LONDON, June 5. In consequence of the King of Prussia's declaration to the German empire, the elector of Mentz's minister has made overtures to the Diet of Ratibon, to commence the deliberations relative to peace, on the 18th, even tho' the Emperor's Imperial commission should not have arrived on that day.
The electoral minister, however, consented to adjourn his proposition for a peace to the 20th, in consequence of notification from the Imperial commissary, of the speedy arrival of the Imperial commission.
From the VISTULA, May 19. On the 12th inst. the Prussian chamber of war and domains at Konigsberg, prohibited the exportation of grain, as well towards the sea as to foreign countries; those who shall be found in the act of exporting any, will not only lose their grain, but likewise their horses, waggons and ships, which are immediately to become the property of the informer.
MENTZ, May 19. The tranquility we have enjoyed since 30th ult. induced us to believe that a truce had taken place; but to-day we are convinced of the reverse. At midnight, 150 Austrians, supported by other troops from the garrison, carried a redoubt occupied by the French near Gonlenheim, and which has given great uneasiness to the entrenched camp of Hardenberg. This operation was executed with as much promptitude as bravery. The French redoubt was entirely demolished, after
having dislodged them, with the loss of several killed and wounded, and 10 or 12 taken prisoners. We have only 3 killed and 6 wounded. The camp established by the French in the vicinity of Reinartz a few weeks since, has lately received considerable reinforcements. A great quantity of cannon and ammunition has arrived there.
RATIBON, May 18. In the sitting of the Diet this day, many votes have been given on the subject of the required Roman months. A deliberation concerning the Prussian declaration of peace was to have taken place; but a decree of the Imperial court being daily expected in which the Emperor is to make a formal declaration to the whole of the empire, of his intention to enter upon negotiations for peace with France, in order to accelerate an honorable and lasting peace for the whole empire, the above deliberation was postponed.
BERLIN, April 14. Letter from Prince Henry of Prussia, to M. Bacher.
"Sir, "The recollection you suggest to the year 1768 excites in my mind very pleasing sensations. It never occurred to me that I had laid you under any obligation. If I had done so, you could not have made me a more noble return than by your letter announcing the thing dearest to my heart—Peace. May this Peace become the object of happiness to the French Republic; may it, as I with it may, strengthen the bonds of amity between all nations, but more especially between France and Prussia. Such are my prayers, and they proceed from the bottom of my heart. M. Barthelemy and you have given the first sanction to this peace, which will contribute to the public good; might I have it in my power to promote this end! But, if I have not the means, I shall always have the will, accompanied with that of assuring you of the esteem with which I am, &c.
PRINCE HENRY."
DUBLIN, May 30.
The military force now in this country amounts to upwards of 40,000 effective men.
So deplorable and wretched is the situation of the unfortunate poor of the Earl of Meath's liberty, in consequence of the train of evils brought on by the present just and necessary war, that a bare recital of instances of their misery must make humanity shudder. In the course of yesterday evening a notice was posted in Andre-Street, by some of the starving inhabitants, written in blood, expressive of the misery of their situation, and couched in terms, which expressed no alternative between death and their present famishing condition!!
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
May 25.
Nineteen persons have been condemned to death, and five to one years imprisonment in irons.
May 26. The insurgents relied much on their address which they expected would produce a great effect in the suburbs of Paris, and particularly on the poor inhabitants of the suburb Antoine, who afforded them much assistance on the memorable days of the 1st and 2d Prairial. On the night of the 3d Prairial, the members of the Convention charged with the direction of the armed force, profited of the horror which the attack upon the Convention, and the massacre of Ferrand had created. Accordingly on the 4th prairial, without beating the generale or ringing the tocsin, the Sections received orders to march against the suburb Antoine, for the purpose of summoning it to deliver the criminals, and to seize the leaders and the cannon, conformably to the decree passed by the Convention. The suburb evinced a determination to resist. The streets were lined with chevaux de frise in such a manner that it seemed to be impossible to avoid the shedding of blood; nevertheless, after several military movements, and arrival of the troops, furnished by the Sections of Paris, who were resolved to conquer or die, the insurgents capitulated. It was at five o'clock, on the evening of the 23d, that the cannon, and the ringleaders, were given up. At eleven o'clock the armed force was permitted to take some repose.
The military commission has been sitting at the National Palace since yesterday, and several of the insurgents have been tried, found guilty and executed.
The guillotine is in a state of permanence on the Place de la Revolution, nevertheless, the insurgents are tried singly, and are allowed all the means of defence.
The assassin of Ferrand was given up at nine o'clock this night. In order to escape punishment he attempted to cut his throat, and failing in this attempt, threw himself from a window three stories high. He did not, however, kill himself, and was carried on a litter to the place of execution.
LONDON, June 4.
Extracts from the Paris papers, from the 24th to the 30th of May, 1795.
COMMOTIONS AT TOULON.
On the 26th the representatives at Lyons write, that they had recorded in that commune the news that a banditti had taken possession of the arsenal at Toulon, and that instantly the citizens had manifested their indignation, and had asked permission to march, if it was necessary, to suppress the revolt.
The next day Doulcet, in the name of the Committee of Public Welfare, informed the Convention, that new crimes had been committed, that the terrorists had made themselves masters of the arsenal at Toulon, and read a letter from Marseilles, written by the representative Jambon St. Andre, dated first Prairial.
"I have just," said he, "learnt the unfortunate events that have happened at Toulon, and I hasten to inform you of them. Our worthy colleague, Brunel, has lost his life, after having several times braved the sword of his assassins. Niou landed from the fleet to oppose the designs of the insurgents, but in vain. They insisted on the liberation of the Terrorists, detained in the fort Lamelle.
"Brunel could not survive the chagrin of having signed the order for their release; and Niou, turning his attention to the naval force, went on board to hasten its departure. They were on the point of sailing, but the brigands succeeded in detaining the fleet in the road. They reported, that some emigrants had gained admittance repaired to Souleix, disarmed the inhabitants, brought eleven of them to Toulon, and pushing to the arsenal, got possession of the posts, which made no resistance, and of eighty muskets, with a number of pistols.

The rebels spread a report, that 400 emigrants had entered; soon after it was said to be no more than eleven, afterwards seven emigrants, whom they brought along with them, and on whom they declared that they found papers on which were written, 'Long live Louis XVIII.' It deserves to be remarked, that they comprehend under the description of emigrants, all those who have escaped the proscriptions, and who have been recalled by your decrees. The insurgents took possession of the gates of the town, and mounted them with cannon. They talk of marching against Marseilles, but I am taking measures to repel them. The National Guard of this commune is organizing itself, and the public spirit is of the right kind.
It is a grievous circumstance to me to be obliged to tell you that our colleague, Charbonier, has joined the insurgents. He was employed in the arsenal, had a great influence over the workmen, and we are assured that he has made the worst use of it. The number of the leaders of the revolt is small. Already the workmen are murmuring; and we are going to get together a force, and shall display both clemency and vigour. The rebels have dispatched emissaries to Ciola, to seduce the regiment which is there in garrison. They want to deliver up the port to the English.
Some travellers who have arrived here by the diligence from Toulon, announce, that our colleague, Chiappe, is detained as a prisoner, that the fleet has been conducted into the road, that it is in the power of the rebels, and that they occupy the Fort Lamel.
Another traveller, who followed, informed us, that the insurgents have chosen, for Commandant of the place, one of the prisoners named Portai; that the garrison has remained faithful, and the fleet also, excepting a few vessels. We are going to assemble the necessary force, and shall neglect nothing to subdue the Rebels, whose number does not exceed 8000. Our colleague, Cicerin, sets out to-night with a battalion.
Doulcet read another letter, dated the 2d by Chiappe, which confirmed the details contained in the preceding one.
The first object which presented itself to his eyes, on his arrival, was the bleeding body of his colleague, Brunel, who himself blew out his brains, but the spectacle served only to fire his courage, and to give him cause to deplore the fate of a Representative of the people, who had determined either to perish, or to cause the laws to be respected. He presented himself at the gates of the town to get out of it! the insurgents opposed his departure; he then drew his sabre, and, supported by some friends, forced his passage.
The reading of this letter was scarcely finished when Merlin of Douai put another into the hands of Doulcet. It was from Jambon St. Andre, and dated Marseilles, the 3d Prairial.
This Representative announced, that the armed force was assembled, in order to bring into subjection the insurgents—that the squadron was at that moment in the great road; and that from different informations it appeared, that the families of Charbonier and Escudier took a decided part in the Rebellion.
The latest reports of the Continent were, that the Austrians, after crossing the Rhine, had attacked the French near Meatz, and defeated them having killed 1500 men, and taken as many prisoners, as well as a considerable train of artillery.
It appears evident, that the Emperor is not disposed to make peace with France upon any other terms than those which may be approved by the British cabinet.
The latest accounts from Ratisbon even state, that all discussion respecting the negotiations for peace with France is suspended for the present, a declaration from the Emperor to the Empire at large upon that subject being very shortly expected.
The accounts from the interior of Holland by the way of Hamburg, come down so late as the 24th ult. A general disposition prevails among the Dutch sailors, not to serve on board the ships fitting out for the service of France.
Since the 23d, the Convention has been employed in punishing the supposed authors and agents of the conspiracy, and disarming all those whom they consider as suspected they have not only turned the tide of power but of odium against their opponents, so that their authority is more firmly established than ever.
In consequence of a declaration by Mr. Crawford the English Charge des Affaires, at Copenhagen, signifying that all Danish ships laden with corn for France, would be seized, and the lading and freightage paid for, the exportation of that article from the Danish States has been prohibited till the first of September next.
June 6. State of the Prince of Wales's debts, as laid on the table of the House of Commons. Table with 3 columns: Description, £, s, d. Includes Debts on various securities, Amount of tradesmen's bills unpaid, Tradesmen's bills, and arrears of establishment.
The account of the Austrians having crossed the Rhine, and beaten the French, appears to have been a report which the messengers who arrived on Tuesday night picked up in their way. Certain it is, that the dispatches they brought contained no such intelligence.
L O N D O N, June 5. Speech of Cuvier, in commemoration of Ferrand, the member assassinated in the Convention by the Insurgents. SO long as the contest lasted between virtue and vice, between liberty and anarchy, between justice and assassination, between persons who had a respect to property, and robbers, your committee of public welfare, general safety, and military affairs, thought it better to originate victory, than to invoke your regret, and solicit honors to the memory of a martyr in the cause of republicanism. Now the country has to mix with the enjoyment of the triumph, which it has obtained the sensation of the loss which she has experienced; and it may not be permitted to shed a few tears on the field of battle
where we have conquered. Within these walls, only three days ago, the murderers dictated their own laws; a Representative of the People fell their victim at the foot of this Tribune. What was his crime? his crime was his intention to preserve the dignity of the National Representation.
Liberty! at one moment near perishing, survived our virtuous colleague. Let us render thanks to the good destiny of the Republic! Ferrand did his duty; his course was accomplished, and his life useful, because he died for the country!
Let us discharge our duty like him, in imitating his heroism, in celebrating his memory. The honors decreed to the dead tend to the advantage of the living.
Let that day, Representatives, so horribly memorable, never escape from your recollection; when the National Convention, outraged by factious men invested, stormed, taken forcible possession of by a horde thirsting after blood and pillage, saw the majesty of the people trod under foot, and the discretionary mandates of criminals passing for law in the sanctuary of the law itself.
Forget not those seditious cries, those atrocious vociferations, that mad and homicidal intoxication, that shocking sight of Representatives of the people, sitting on the same benches with the executioners.
Recall to your recollection this august assembly, listening with a calm and dignified silence to the decrees of a frantic populace, some guilty deputies mingling with it, basely flattering it, and fancying themselves legislators when the Legislature existed no longer; two Presidents, both of them respectable by their patriotism and courage, and one still further by his grey hairs, both insulted, threatened, almost massacred; and to complete this horrid picture, see the Tribune covered with blood; contemplate the head of your virtuous colleague, severed by a sacrilegious steel, paraded about before our eyes, and carried in triumph on the point of a pike, while he still seemed to cast an indignant look upon the criminal, and to be opening his mouth to defend the National representation against the despotism of robbers and assassins.
No, Representatives: these events, which will form an epoch with posterity will not be overlooked with you; nor lost to the Republic: this is the moment for you to establish the empire of the laws, so long held in derision; the time is come, when the constitution which your commission of eleven is to digest, may be made worthy of a great nation. It will be possible henceforward to substitute the immortal principles consecrated by the meditation of philosophers and the reason of ages, for demagogic absurdities, destructive of liberty, and protective of all factions. It is time for the individual, or the rebellious junto, that shall dare, in contempt of your power, to offer to you, with arms in their hands, imperious petitions, to be instantly struck with death.
The twenty five millions of men who sent us here did not commit us to the tuition of the market of Paris, or put us under the axe of assassins. It is not the suburb of St. Antoine that they have delegated the legislative power, it is to us. Those who dare to usurp it, under whatever pretext, are in open revolt against the sovereignty of the people. Now, surely, the Republic and the National Representation will be avenged of the numerous outrages meditated, undertaken, and executed against them. The impunity of the 2d of September, produced the 31st of May; the impunity of the 31st of May has produced crimes and calamities without number; but the days of tyranny and impunity are passed, and there is criminality in indulgence towards wretches sullied with every kind of vice.
And you, citizens of Paris, incessantly called THE PEOPLE, by all the factious men who have wished to elevate you on the wreck of the national power; you, who have been long flattered like a king, but to whom it is become necessary at last to declare the truth—great and glorious circumstances have done you honor in the course of the revolution, but the republic would have much to reproach you with, if the 4th Prairial had not repaired the disgrace of the days that preceded it.
Henceforward be at least worthy of the sacred deposit that is confided to you; reflect that the national representation belongs to the whole republic, and merit the preservation of it. Denounce the guilty, enlighten your deluded brethren, tell them of the numerous sacrifices which the people of France and the National Convention have made for Paris; tell them that at the moment when the impious blade struck the representative Ferrand, as having been concerned in caulking the panic, with which the people have been afflicted, our worthy colleague, after repeated journies and continued fatigues, had just endured a supply of provisions from the departments for this vast commune; tell them that the shameful calumnies directed against the National Convention, have been the invention of strangers sent to seduce, and a band of ferocious brigands who, once enriched by assassination, have still occasion for fresh assassination to preserve their ill-got riches.
Representatives, the body of our virtuous colleague is entombed in the section of the Thuilleries; let a modest inscription immortalize his memory. Your committee have conceived that in a conjuncture so extraordinary, it would be proper to have a celebration extraordinary from its very simplicity. We shall not think of a splendid procession, nor the honors of the pantheon. They have several times been misapplied; and we should never forget, that posterity alone can affix just value to the characters of men. It is here that the crime was perpetrated; It is here in the midst of you, and in the sanctuary of Liberty, that the martyr to liberty should be commemorated. These benches, polluted three days ago by assassins, reeking with blood and wine—these walls, struck by sacrilegious lead—these doors, cut down by hatchets—this bloody Tribune—this heap, still present to our eyes—all will have the eloquence of speech in this august ceremony! Anarchy, already expiring, will be struck down and annihilated by you; and the chemical hopes of royalty will be wasted away with the last signs of anarchy.

By this Day's MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 20. Yesterday arrived the brig Eliza, capt. Penfield, in 19 days from Martinico.
Capt. Penfield informs, that on the 29th of June, the British ship of war Experiment arrived at Martinico from St. Lucia, with a number of sick and wounded soldiers, part of the garrison of that place:—The officers of the Experiment informed captain P. that St. Lucia was taken possession of by the French on the 26th ult. that they had met with great loss in the contest, not more than 1000 out of 2000, of which the garrison consisted, including the French Royalists, had been able to escape the hands of the Republicans.
Capt. P. likewise informs, that the British sloop of war Matilda, arrived at Martinico the day before he failed, the captain of which reported, that he had been chased a few days before off Guadalupe, by a large fleet, which he took to be French, consisting of two 3 deckers and six 64's, besides frigates.
Capt. P. also says, that general Vaughan, the British governor of Martinico, died a few days before he failed.
From the Argus.
Fellow-Citizens, THE proceedings of Saturday at the City-Hall, must give pleasure to every man who is in truth a friend to his country and her liberties. When men come forward under the mask of Federalism to support so infamous a Treaty as that entered into with Great Britain by an enemy extraordinary, they certainly deserve not the countenance of the free and independent citizens of New-York, they deserve not to be heard on a subject so degrading to freemen; the finger of scorn should be held out, and they should be distinguished in no other way than by a marked contempt and abhorrence. Many were astonished at the moderation of the republicans on that day, especially when we consider the violence of the Tories and their friends; many were surprised, that these tools of power were not driven from their station, from where they were endeavouring to inculcate the accursed, but exploded doctrine of passive obedience and non-resistance. The reception they met with is sufficiently known by the continued hisses of the people. Our country is in peace, and long may it remain so, while our national honour admits of it, but never let the freemen of America suffer British engines or despotic blood suckers to influence the councils of their country, which was, much to our disgrace, attempted at the said meeting; but rather drive them from the places they have usurped, to those dreary regions where nothing but slavery is known. While we respect and honour the ruling power, as being only the servants of the people, we at the same time are fully determined, that the ruling power shall never despoil us of our rights, or infringe our liberties. It is for these reasons we meet to prepare remonstrances against a measure fraught with evil and anarchy. But even this right is called in question by the tools of a British faction; and shall we tamely submit to the ignominious trammels forging for us? are we again become slaves? No. Let us, with the fortitude of freemen, boldly support our rights; let us not suffer any man, however high he has been in the esteem of his fellow-citizens, no lawyers, no placemen, ever to controul our opinion, or invade our liberty, under the plausible pretence of vindicating a treaty which cannot be vindicated with honor. Come forward, then, THIS DAY, ye who are the real friends of our constitution and government—rally round the standard of your country—exert yourselves, and be not trampled on by Tories, or by those who under the mask of federalism, are Tories at heart; suffer them not to brow-beat you: suffer not their insolence to pass unnoticed; injure them not, in person, but mark them who cause divisions among you. Ye who are the supporters of your country, on your exertions does all depend. It is a momentous subject which this day calls you together. The liberties of your country are in danger. Awake from your slumbers, and use your influence.—Come forward with resolution and firmness, and let not your enemies triumph.—Determine now either to LIVE FREE, or to DIE in defence of those inestimable privileges which have been purchased at so great a price. Remember you are as yet free.—Respect yourselves. A CITIZEN. Monday, July 20, 1795.
PHILADELPHIA July 21.
Says a Correspondent. Much abuse is thrown on Mr. Jay, for not obtaining a compensation for the negroes taken from New-York by the British: That Citizen Lemuel should feel an interest in having that species of property returned, or even paid for, is a new feature in the Eastern politician: But, when we are informed, that the VIRTUOUS TEN prevented any negotiation being renewed on the subject of the negroes, and other property taken from America by the British, it is presumed that we shall hear no more complaints on that head. The conduct of some of our warm politicians, has a striking likeness to that of a very mischievous boy, who kept this city, for several weeks in the winter of ninety-one, in continual alarm:—This wicked wretch concealed in his pocket a pot of coals, for the purpose of setting fire to some neighbouring buildings, and as soon as he had completed his evening amusement, he was the first to cry "Fire." It is the way of most men, who are bankrupts in property and politics, to leave a brand in every man's house who permits them to enter:—It is said, the following Resolution would have been agreed to, had either Messrs. Burr, Langdon, Robinson, Taxewell, Mason, Brown, Marshall, Martin, Bloodworth, or Jackson, voted in the affirmative.
IN SENATE, June 25th, 1795. Motion by Mr. Gunn, Seconded by Mr. Read.
Whereas it is alleged by divers American Citizens that negroes and other property to a considerable amount were carried away in contravention of the 7th article of the Treaty of Peace between the United States and his Britannic majesty.
Resolved, That the Senate recommend to the President of the United States to renew by friendly negotiation with his said majesty the claims of the American citizens to compensation for the negroes and other property so alleged to have been carried away, and in case the disagreement, that has hitherto existed, relative to the construction in this behalf of the said article, cannot be removed by candid, and amicable discussions, that it be proposed, as a measure calculated to cherish and confirm the good understanding and friendship which it is desired may prevail between the two countries, that commissioners be appointed in the manner directed by the 6th article of the Treaty of Amity Commerce and Navigation lately concluded between the United States and his said Majesty, with authority to ascertain and decide as well the interpretation of the said 7th article in this respect, as likewise
the amount of the losses sustained by the alleged violation of the same.
But the Senate are of opinion that the negotiation on this subject should be suspended from, and subsequent to that, recommended by their act of the 25th instant respecting the trade, and intercourse, between the United States and his said Majesty's islands in the West-Indies.
Two thirds not voting in the affirmative, the question was lost.

Scheme of the Lottery, No. 2, For the Improvement of THE FEDERAL CITY.
Table with 3 columns: Prize, Dollars, and Number of Prizes. Includes prizes of 20,000, 15,000, 10,000, 5,000, 2,000, 1,000, 500, 100, 50, 20, 10, 5, and 1 dollar.
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prices for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to let the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most suspension indispensable. February 24, 1795. SAMUEL BLODGET.
Tickets may be had at the Bank of Columbia; of James West & Co. Baltimore or Gideon Denton, Savannah, of Peter Gilman, Boston; of John Hopkins Richmond; and of Richard Wells, Cooper's & Co. Aug 30. codf
