UNITED STATES.
NEW YORK, November 8.
Revolution in France.
[CONTINUED.]
I have said in the preceding paper, that in France there is no standard of political right and wrong—patriot and traitor are indefinite terms, which mean any thing that the populace can be made to believe. He who can "ride in the whirlwind and direct the storm,"—he who can guide the movements of the populace is the patriot of the day.—He who is deserted by the populace, two for no fault but his integrity or an error in judgment, is instantly crushed and execrated as a traitor.
The reason of this is, there is no fixed form of government in France, the constitution has been suspended by an act of the convention, and France is now subject to what they call a Revolutionary Government; that is, an arbitrary government, a variable government, changing pro re nata and taking any form that may suit existing circumstances. This in nature and essence is precisely the same as the despotic governments of the East. It is the very essence of arbitrary government to have no fixed form or principles.
On the dissolution of monarchy, the National Convention should have either formed a temporary government, with some fixed principles, to conduct them thro' the revolution to the establishment of peace; as the Poles very wisely did; or they should have followed the Romans [whom they affect to imitate in other things of little consequence] and appointed a dictator for a time to be limited to one or two years, or to the duration of the war, or to the expulsion of the combined powers from their territories. The Romans had recourse to this expedient in times of great public danger; and dreadful as the alternative may appear, it is infinitely less dreadful, than the revolutionary government the French resorted to—a government managed by several hundred persons with equal powers—a government necessarily producing all kinds of intrigue, factions, corruption, jealousy, crimes and murder. Of all the kinds of government ever attempted by man in Europe, Asia, Africa or America, the revolutionary government in France was the worst calculated to produce any good—the best calculated to engender all manner of calamities and crimes.
A convention of 6 or 700 men, without an executive or judiciary, and without a Senate to controul its proceedings—a single assembly, composed mostly of young unexperienced men, who had no fixed principles or system to guide them, and many of them ambitious, aspiring and visionary—this assembly governed by a select club who prepared measures the night before in the hall of the Jacobins, and hired a body of the populace to take seats in the galleries, and applaud one party and his down another—a convention acting from the impulse of the moment, without order, and often without debate—a violent, irregular, heterogeneous body—From such a legislature thus directed, and pressed with public danger, what system what order, what wisdom could be expected? What views, what disorders, what furious factions and multifarious calamities must necessarily flow from such a source?
The fault is not in the men; it is in the government. I will venture to declare that ninety nine of all the men who have perished on the scaffold in that extensive country, entered into the revolution originally with spirit, zeal and sincerity; who had honest views, and were never corrupted with gold. Some of them became enemies to the revolution afterwards, because it was conducted with too much violence and carried too far—but the greatest part of them were never enemies to the revolution or to the nation—they were only obliged to take sides with contending factions, and those who happened to be with the unsuccessful faction in opinion, suffered the fate of their leaders.
Nor were the leaders of parties bad men, tyrants, traitors and conspirators against the nation. Most of them were pursuing what they deemed the best measures for the public good. Probably very few of them would have suffered, had there been a constitution and fixed laws to have controlled the wills of the violent factions. La Fayette, Dumourier, Brissot, Danton and Robespierre, under fixed rules of procedure and a settled constitution of government, would have been as safe at this moment, and their persons as inviolable, as Mr. Pitt and Mr. Fox in the commons of England,
or as Mr. Madison and Mr. Smith, in the Legislature of the United States.
Most of the fallen Revolutionists in France have been victims, not to what our laws would make treason or crimes; not to any corruption of their hearts, but to faction. There being no law to check control and silence the violent parties in the convention, and it being impossible to carry measures into effect with two or more factions, almost equal existing in the convention at the same time; it was necessary, after such factions had arisen, to take violent steps, and one party to sacrifice the other. But such factions never can exist where constitution and law are supreme. They grow only in a state without fixed principles of order and subordination; or if they arise under good government, they are immediately suppressed in a regular way, by the force of law.
Thus in our Congress, the principles of opposition are as fixed, and almost as violent as ever they were in the convention of France; and one party has command of what is called the populace; that is, a body of men, many of the respectable good citizens in private life; and many of them a class of transient people, tipplers and unprincipled men, who are found and easily collected for riotous purposes, in all large towns—Had these people more strength, and were they not overawed by the laws of the country or perhaps had some violent measures irritated them more at the moment, it is more than probable that the lives of some of our most eminent patriotic republicans, and firm supporters of our government, would last winter have fallen a sacrifice to the fury of this populace. Their property most certainly would not have been safe. Yet there is neither treason, nor crimes, nor corruption to warrant any violence. A mere difference of opinion, zealously and warmly maintained, is the only thing that makes one party oppose, perhaps hate the other.
These remarks show the nature of the revolutionary government in France. It is composed of violent factions, always contending; each striving for power and determined to crush all opposition.
Mr. Pitt, in reply to Mr. Sheridan in the house of Commons last July, said explicitly that the object of the war was the 'extirpation of Jacobinism,' the combined powers certainly might have saved themselves all this trouble and expense; for Jacobinism or club government is rapidly curing itself in France; and if it cannot cure itself foreign nations can never cure it. The truth is, the variety of factions which the present government of France has originated, and which it will continue to originate will be found to produce not only the ordinary evils of a free government, but despotism in every variety of shape. No government can secure freedom one hour, unless its proceedings are conducted by fixed rules and with deliberation: no such rules can ever be established, until the legislative body is set totally above the influence of a surrounding populace.—Such a legislative body will not soon be found in France. The populace have been so long accustomed to exercise their privilege of hissing and clapping the speakers in convention, that it will be no easy matter to silence them. It is very certain at this moment, that the convention are so much overawed by the populace, that they won't dare to bring forward a decree for removing their sessions from Paris.
The Revolution was a glorious thing—and must ultimately prove a blessing to all Europe. But the government of France is essentially wrong, and it must continue to produce every species of internal confusion and disorder. Severe experience and streams of innocent blood will, after a long time, teach the French nation and all the world, that government by clubs, little self created aristocracies, and by irregular collections of the populace, is the most tyrannical despotism ever exercised over men; and that freedom rests alone on the broad basis of a free independent legislature.
PHILADELPHIA,
NOVEMBER 13.
LATEST
Interesting Intelligence, from Papers brought by the Sunbeam.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
11th Fructidor—Aug. 28.
Tallien.—"What is the revolutionary government? I do not understand by the revolutionary government the prolongation of a system of insurrection, but a government which can make itself dreadful to its enemies, at the time it is beloved by the people, must call to the remembrance of this assembly the scenes of horror of which France was the theatre under the tyranny of Robespierre; they were the offspring of a system of terror; a system which must at last be replaced by
justice. I propose that the Convention should decree.
1st. That it has Resolved to maintain the revolutionary government.
2d. That the meeting of the primary assemblies is necessarily destructive of this government, and that all good citizens ought to distrust those who desire their convocation.
3d. That the system of terror is tyrannical.
4th. That the prosecution of authors for publishing their opinions is tyrannical. List. "Without doubt that philosophy is amiable, which wishes only for the reign of justice; but those, who with the system of terror should be proscribed, are the same who formerly moved that terror should be the order of day. They speak of justice—We too with for justice; but justice is nothing more than the mode of judging of action; and shall we put an end to those measures of general precaution to which France owes its success, and even its existence? In ancient republics virtuous men were sent into exile; and shall the French Republic not free itself of those dangerous men who have drunk in with their birth, principles the most hostile to equality? I move that Tallien's speech be printed, that the errors which it contains may be refuted; but I move the adjournment of the decree which he proposed."
Thuriot: "I oppose both the printing and the adjournment. The speech of Tallien would have obtained every suffrage, had he not courage to make it six months ago. We are now far removed from the tyranny of Robespierre, and the whole convention, in overthrowing that tyrant, had no intention of substituting another. All of us who are here are the friends of liberty, and our only desire is to proceed in confirming it."
"(The members here all arose up as actuated with one impulse, and manifested amidst the loudest applauses of the tribunes, that such was its unalterable determination.)"
Without doubt the speech of Tallien proceeds from a good intention, but it reflects no honor on his legacy. "Why, when we have buried many in the grave of the triumphs, should we wish to recall such melancholy remembrances? It is the only means of re-kindling factions; and we are far from approving any such odious plan. Tallien requires from us definitions; they exist in the law, which you have proclaimed. All the world well knows that the revolutionary government does not tend to the converting of France into a grave; but that it is only a more rapid movement towards our ultimate object."
"When our battalions are advancing against the enemy, should a soldier wander from his ranks, and retard the general march, he is punished. We are all in the presence of the enemy, and all those who shall desire to retard the operations of government ought to incur the vengeance of the laws."
"They tell you of a new tyranny: by what means could it have established itself? Have you not divided authority among the different committees? It is no longer, the same hand that at the same time governs the finances, and actuates the civil and military powers: every committee moves in its prescribed circle, and the convention alone exercises the revolutionary government. I therefore move the order of the day, both on the question of printing, and on that of the adjournment."
Many members, however, insisted on Tallien's speech being printed; it was at length decreed. The order of the day was then proposed on the plan itself.
Guyon opposed it. Coupoleau de Fontenay. "What is that Tallien proposes to you, but to assert that you will maintain the revolutionary government? A declaration that is useless since you have already most solemnly sanctioned it. Another part of the proposition is relative to the liberty of the press; the question is already referred to our committees. I therefore support the order of the day."
The order of the day was decreed. Treillard, in the name of the committee of public safety, announced, that he that morning received, through the medium of the Telegraphe, the news of the recapture of Valenciennes. [Loud applauses resounded through every part of the hall.] The committee had not yet received the details; he had no doubt, however, but that they would soon arrive by a courier.

WOUDRICHEM, Sept. 13.
On Thursday a strong French patrol, of about 500 cavalry, and some chasseurs, penetrated as far as Capelle, Walwyk, and Sprang, and forced the Dutch troops posted in those places, consisting of the Hussars of Heckeren, and the cavalry of Bron, to fall back. Part of these retreated to Heusden, and the rest to Gertruydenberg. The French, after having carried off some horses and effects, returned, and the posts were again occupied by our troops. The Dutch head-quarters are at Raamsdonk.
HAGUE, Sept. 6.
Our horizon seems to clear up a little. Breda is not besieged, and the French have informed the Duke of York of the repeal of the decree by which no quarter was to be given to the English and Hanoverians.
Sept. 14.
The head-quarters of the troops of the States have been removed from Raamsdonk to Gorinchem.
By private letters we learn, that the head-quarters of the French, which were at Oosterhout, have been removed from thence towards the vicinity of Bois-le-Duc.
BOIS LE DUC, Sept. 8.
The Hereditary Prince of Orange, the Austrian General Beaulieu, and the Duke of York held a conference in this town, relative to the new treaty concluded between the courts of Vienna and London, according to which the Austrian army, now under General Clairfayt, is to act at the pleasure of the maritime powers.
The strength of the French army in the Low countries is said to be as follows:—15,000 men near Breda, 15,000 near Bois-le-Duc, 30,000 under Gen. Pichegru near Nimeguen, 70,000 under General Jourdan near Maestricht. The French expect moreover a reinforcement of 50,000 men.
MANHEIM, Sept. 5.
On the 1st instant a grand council of war was held at the house of Baron de Belderbusch, Governor of this city. It was attended by several Austrian and Palatine Generals, and is thought to have related to the passage across the Rhine, which is to be immediately effected. For this purpose there are great movements in the Austrian army; and a great number of troops are already passing down the Rhine.
Several corps had reached the vicinity of this city; at the same time that

a considerable number of boats, laden with heavy artillery and ammunition, are on their way to Mentz, by the Rhine. The Bavaria Palatine court has consented, that, in case of imminent danger, it shall be lawful for as many Austrian troops as may be deemed necessary, to enter Mannheim; and that the command in chief of the city shall be surrendered to the Prince of Saxe Teschen, who is to have a second in command, the Palatine Governor. — French prisoners are daily carried into Mentz; and yesterday 532 from the environs of Frankfort were transported thither.
FLUSHING, September 13.
Admiral Kingsbergen, with his fleet, composed of 6 Dutch line of battle ships, and several frigates, is still in the roads, as well as Admiral Hervey, with a 44, four British frigates, and a floating battery, commanded by Captain Savage. Lord Mulgrave's corps is encamped near West Cappel, Soutelande, and Zoubourgh, in this Island; but the transports which carried them thither, remain still in the road.
HAERLEM, Sept. 14.
By different letters from Bois-le-Duc it appears that on Friday and Saturday last the French appeared within sight of that garrison, but not within the reach of cannon shot. They afterwards fell back, but came in greater numbers in the environs, and daily attacks are made by the respective advanced posts. It appears to be decided that the posts of Boxtel, and the other places on the Dommel, are to be maintained, for which purpose some English cavalry arrived in Boxtel on Saturday last. The English army is also in motion, but their destination is not yet known. The bridge that had been thrown over the Meuse, at Bockhoven, is removed to Ravetyn.
SWITZERLAND, Aug. 30.
The council and citizens at Berne have had an extraordinary meeting, seemingly on account of the French emigrants, whom the Swiss grow tired of in proportion as their money is nearly spent.
FRANKFORT, Sept. 6.
For the completion of the army of the Empire, the Duke of Saxe Teschen, has corresponded with the Bishop of Spires, who says, his country is ruined already, and that he can furnish no contingency to the army.
The circle of Franconia seems also very averse to these measures, and the answer of the King of Prussia, as elector of Brandenburg, has been as full a negative. He says, he has made such sacrifices already, as far exceed the expenses of a contingency, his troops have rendered eminent services, the expenses for retaking Frankfort and Mentz, have not been made good yet; there is no army of the Empire, for the few contingencies that are furnished, do not deserve such appellation. Besides, it was agreed, that the furnishing of troops should be bought with ready money.
The war in Poland, excited by the common enemy, in order to prevent his Majesty from defending the Empire, fully dispenfates him from it. Finally, his Majesty thinks himself entitled to declare, that if all states did as much as he had done, the country would have been saved.
HAMBRO, Sept. 11.
Last week arrived in the river Elbe, the English frigate Iris, of 32 guns, having on board the third transport of English subsidies for the Court of Berlin, consisting of 125,000l. sterling in Spanish dollars.
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 6.
The instructions of the cabinet of St. James's arrived here yesterday, by the English post, by which the British men of war and privateers are ordered not to detain ships bound for France, and laden with corn and flour.
This measure puts the continuation of the good understanding between Denmark and England beyond all doubt. These instructions have excited upon our exchange and every where a great deal of joy and satisfaction.
It is said that the fleet anchoring in the outer Road is to be unrigged and put up in harbour on the 16th inst. and the Swedish fleet will then return to Carlscrona.
L O N D O N, Sept. 6.
By the Corunna mail of yesterday morning, we have letters directly from the Spanish head-quarters in Guipulcoa, dated August 28, containing the following particulars:
Pampeluna in Navarre remains altogether undisturbed.
In Bilboa every apprehension has subsided; in consequence of which an order has been issued for the ships which had been loaded with stores, &c. prepa-
ratory to their departure in the first moment of alarm, to unload; as also it has been signified, that the port is again open for trading vessels of every description.
The levy of 17,000 men being nearly completed, a grand attack of the enemy was expected to take place daily. The French army is behind Tolosa—that place is not taken.
At Bilboa fourteen suspicious persons have been found guilty of treacherously corresponding with the enemy, and are ordered for execution. Twelve were hanged, at Pampeluna; it was there discovered that all the guns on the batteries had been loaded with sand instead of powder, so that if the enemy had succeeded in penetrating to the wall, no resistance could have been made.
PLYMOUTH DOCK, Sept. 19.
The Capt. of a ship from Gottenborough, states, that the Poles have completely routed the Prussian invaders, and obliged their grand army to raise the siege of Warsaw. Every friend to justice and humanity will join with us in the hearty wish, that this intelligence may receive a full and speedy confirmation.
COBLENTZ, Sept. 10.
This day the Imp. rialists have thrown a bridge of boats over the Rhine above this place. The Prussian magazines have been augmented considerably: every thing is otherwise still; we are waiting with anxiety the result of the approaching attack on Treves.
AIX LA CHAPELLE, Sept. 9.
The orders for marching that the armies had received some days past have at length been put in execution. On the 7th orders were given for striking the tents with all possible secrecy, and yesterday morning, 6 squadrons of Cobourgs, 6 of Zschwitz, 2 battalions of Stain, 2 of the grand Duke, 2 of Antony Esterhazy, and 2 of Ginay marched under the command of General Alvinzy, which were afterwards joined by the corps under General Werneck, and that of General Kray. The first mentioned have a very considerable train of artillery, and will, with all possible expedition, cross the Meuse in order to enter the Belgic provinces.
The following is said to be the substance of some of the papers received by the Spartiate, arrived at Baltimore.
The French have certainly taken Breda, Boissleduc, Gertruydenburg, and Gorkum, and were about to march to Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
Previous to the taking of Boissleduc, a bloody battle was fought, the result of which was a general flight of the flaves of York and Orange with the loss of several pieces of artillery, baggage, &c. and 1500 prisoners, Hessian and Hanoverian, no quarter being given to the English.
Bergen op Zoom was besieged. Valenciennes and Conde were retaken by the French.
The army of the lower Pyrenees had taken Bilboa, St. Andero and other smaller ports, and a division of that army was before Pampeluna capital of Spain with Navarre and the three provinces of Guypulcoa Biscay and Alava were desirous of being incorporated with the French republic.
The army of Dugommier had taken the important fort of Bellegarde.
At Port Passage the French had found timber ready cut for building many ships of war and immediately loaded 40 vessels to transport part of that timber to the French arsenals.
Provisions were not scarce and the armies were abundantly supplied.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Abstract of proceedings 14 Fructidor.
The explosion of the powder mills of Grenelle, which took place this morning, about 8 o'clock, occasioned many of the members to meet in the Hall within half an hour after. Voulland opened the sitting: The convention immediately decreed that all losses should be sustained by the Republic—that the persons wounded and the parents of those who perished by this melancholy accident, should be entitled to the provisions made by law for those who were wounded in the army. The Convention after ward learnt that a large quantity of powder was saved, that the danger
was over, and the citizens were eager to lend their assistance to the wounded. The Representatives of the people who were sent to the sections, reported the most moving traits of concern, of sensibility and disinterestedness, manifested by the citizens on this occasion. A discussion took place on the organization of the Police of Paris. Merlin of Douay produced a decree, which with little debate, was adopted.
The shock of this explosion was so great as to be felt by all Paris and its environs. In many places, the glass windows were broken, and doors were thrown down.
15 Fructidor, Sept. 2.
Citizen Boyer, aid de camp of Gen. Scherer, and Lecamus, Secretary of Lacoste, were admitted to the bar; they brought the colours of the garrisons of Quesnoy, Valenciennes and Conde.
N. B. At the close of this session, the convention made some changes in the committee of Public Safety. The members who are displaced are Billaud Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, Tallien and Barrere. The three first resigned—Barre by lot. They are replaced by Delmas, Merlin de Douay, Cochon and Fouquier.
The name of Conde is changed and the city, by order of the convention, is called Nord Libre, North free, or Free North.
There has been no massacre at Paris. The fleet is in the harbor; but the Moneur of Sept. 1 contains a long list of prizes carried into different ports.
In addition to the foregoing, we abstract the following general view of the proceedings of the convention.
After the blowing up of the powder works at Paris, the convention passed a decree for placing the police of Paris on a better footing. By this decree, the commissions organized by the convention are invested with the care of Paris, each according to its respective duties.
A decree in thirty articles distributes to the several committees their functions in the republic.
The convention have passed a decree for settling the accounts, and liquidating the debts due from the ci-devant new India company established by an act of council April 14, 1788.
They have passed a decree for the payment of annuities due from the Republic to 40,000 persons.
On the 14th Sept. they burnt twenty millions of livres in assignats, arising from the sales of the national domains and receipts extraordinary: this makes the whole sum destroyed amount to two billions, and 326 millions.
The convention have also published a "declaration of the principles of a revolutionary government: guaranteeing the rights and liberty of a citizen."
By a new decree, defining emigration, all the French who left the territory of the republic after the 1st of July 1789 and did not return before May 9, 1792 are declared emigrants, and punishable with death.
All public functionaries employed by the republic in foreign countries, who do not return in three months after the termination of their mission, are declared emigrants.
Ninety four citizens of Nantz, who had been imprisoned several months, were lately bro't before the Revolutionary Tribunal and acquitted.
Altho' the system of the present ruling powers of France is pacific and mild compared with that of Marat and Robespierre; yet the new Revolutionary Tribunal has begun its condemnations.
The club at Paris and the other clubs in France have laid aside the denomination of Jacobins, and call themselves the "Society of the friends of Liberty and equality." The club in Paris occupies the same hall and call it the ci-devant Jacobins. The fittings of this club are employed in detailing slander and suspicions of treason; and the members expatiate on their own patriotism and the conspiracies of the Aristocrats. From every quarter of France, these clubs send addresses to their friends in Paris and to the Convention, demanding the blood of conspirators. A person cannot read the debates of these furious clubs without shuddering. If we are to believe these self-begotten centinels, France is in a most critical situation. For they declare that treasons and conspiracies exist and every moment threaten the destruction of the Republic.
But it appears the Convention are not alarmed—they proceed calmly in their deliberations; and it is probable the stories of the club are designed only to answer their bloody purposes.
The following project of a decree, laid before the Convention Sept. 14, is too singular to be passed over.
Art. 1. Every member is prohibited,
under penalty of imprisonment till peace, to use, after this day, either in reports or debates, the words invented to excite division and troubles in the Convention and Republic, which serve to designate parties, bodies or factions, which tend only to degrade the majority of the Convention and the nations such words as, the mountain, the plain, the marsh, the moderates, Jacobins, federalists, muscadins, and alams.
Art. 11. If any person suffer such words to escape him inadvertently, he shall be called to order by the President; and for a second fault, shall suffer the penalty enacted in the first article.
This Project is related in the latest paper received, and we are not informed of the fate of this curious motion.
BOSTON, Nov. 5.
IMPORTANT ELECTION.
On Monday last, the citizens of this Commonwealth assembled in their respective towns, for the purpose of electing Men to represent them in the Congress of the United States, for the term of two years from March next. An occasion so interesting to Freemen—and made more important from the torrents of obloquy which has been poured on the characters of those who now sustain the important office—it was expected that a general attendance of the citizens would be given—that expectation has been fully verified—and the right of suffrage was, perhaps, never more fully improved. The following returns, which are as accurate as the time will permit to be made, justify the observation:

DEPOSITION.
Capt. Thomas Hiller, of the brig Hawk, an American vessel, which arrived here from Halifax on the 1st inst. with flour, declareth and saith, That he was chased up the harbour from a little above Lovell's island, until he got nearly opposite the Castle, by an armed boat belonging to the Concorde, commanded by 3 officers, and about 20 men, with cutlasses, &c. They boarded him, let go his anchor, with the sails standing, demanded his papers, insulted him, tore the name from off the stern of his vessel, set the boat to the Concorde to know if they should proceed up—forbid him from going on shore—and after detaining him from 8 o'clock in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, they permitted him to proceed up to town. He repeatedly demanded the reason of his being treated thus; all the answer that he could obtain from the officer was, that it was by the orders of the Captain of the Concorde.

Distant Subscribers For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Sub- scription by paying Six Months in Ad- vance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable Sum due from some Subscribers for the late half Week- ly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delin- quent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may re- spectively be indebted—the sums indi- vidually owing—the want of the Aggre- gate is severely felt.

Forty dollars reward. RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on Sa- turday night the 11th inst. A Mulatto LAD, named Bill, generally called Bill Madden, about 17 or 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 in- ches high, of a slim make, has fair black hair, which he sometimes wears tied, but generally loose; he has been accustomed to wait altogether in a house, and having been much indulged, has become too idle to work for a support. He took with him a brown fustian double breasted long coat, one drab coat with red cuffs and cape, the pocket flaps and skirts trimmed with red edge, a fustian waistcoat a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trowsers, and several other cloaths, also a pair of boots, half-boots. It is probable he has a forked pair, and will endeavour to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their pas- sage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia. The above reward will be paid to any person delivering me the said servant, and reasonable charges for bringing him home. Daniel Carroll. Of Duddington. City of Washington, Oct. 20. Oct. 7. *gtw2w

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be called to con- sider the most eligible mode of conducting the printing of such of his 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 retold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doc- trines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been en- tertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute the same, but indeed there are, invidious calumniators and groundless re- ports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honorable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we omit of the candid and sincere inquirers after Truth of the highest importance, will- ingly examine those Works, for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
