the due punishment if they act against the law... But what was their resolution which announced their reign at Marseilles, at Toulon, at Lyons? To put the guillotine in permanence; to massacre all those who were faithful to the laws; to overwhelm with imprecations the distinguished patriots who had courage enough to brave the menaces of 200,000 vindictive and cowardly rebels, and continue to preach the principles of republicanism till their bloody heads were presented to the philanthropic persecutors. I shall leave to communicate a memorandum, containing all the facts of this kind I am acquainted with, to the committee of correspondence. I shall, besides, point out to the committee the places where more ample information on that subject may be obtained. Adopted.
Bouin. The counter-revolutionists have reclaimed the declaration of rights, that they may hatch undisturbed their criminal plots. They did not hesitate a moment to intringe the laws on the liberty of the press; for, according to our constitution, it is an abuse of the liberty of the press if a Citizen publishes a work without giving the name of the author; and an anonymous pamphlet must always be considered as a libel. The declaration of rights says, The society is oppressed if a single citizen is oppressed. We demanded the liberty of our brother Loys, and he still languishes in a prison.
Edmond. That two more members be appointed to assist the official defenders you have given him, in order to solicit his delivery if he is innocent. Adopted.
M. Pechu. The liberty of the press has its limits; the author who conceals his name is as well punishable as a citizen who conceals a child. An individual who troubles the public order by his writings, ought to pay a fine of 3000 livres for the first time: if he happens to be found guilty a second time, he is sentenced to pay a fine of 6000 livres, and besides, condemned to two years hard labour in close confinement. These are the laws; it belongs to those to do their duty who are charged to see the laws executed.
Mauré. I wish to acquaint you with a fact which will give you an idea of the unlimited maliciousness and stupidity of the detractors of popular societies, and prove, that the most profound contempt is a sufficient punishment for those bilious scribblers of pamphlets. I remarked to day in one of those libels, that the author did me the honour to consider me as one of the leaders of this society. You know, Citizens, that I never enjoyed any other preeminence than that of a simple member. I invite the society not to waste a single moment's time in unveiling the turpitudes of those libellists; for they do it themselves. A wounded defender of the Republic—Our enemies call us licentious, in order to have an opportunity to display their superior skill in devising the most scurrilous, and at the same time the most contemptible invectives against us.—They accuse us of a design to perpetuate the dissensions among the Citizens; and publish daily some hundred pamphlets, in order to provoke and challenge us without intermission; we don't want to refute the impertinent stories, invented by quacks paid in proportion as they excel in publishing nonsense. Let the aristocrats spend their treasures in their vain efforts against popular societies; let them hire all the vile pens, and squeeze the dry brains of their Paraites, we laugh only at the awkward manoeuvres of their fatellites.
The scribblers form the advanced guard of the aristocrats, a cowardly and effeminate army; some of these gallant troops are now detached to harass the enemy on all sides under favour of the night; unhappily the different parties met each other on the road, and struck with a panic at the appearance of something like men, they fire some shot in the air, and abandon the supposed field of honour with the utmost precipitation, being conscious that a single look, nay, the shadow of an enemy they provoke, is sufficient to petrify them; but shouts of victory! victory! fill from all sides the air, as soon as these gallant warriors discover again the glistening camp of banqueting aristocracy; each column saw, met and routed the enemy, whose loss must have been immense, considering that the victorious heroes lost only their arms, which they had thrown away in the heat of the engagement.
One of those cowards is silly enough to assert that the Jacobins were as Peter Pynyles; that they had not a fous, and the quack Barail, another leader of that gallant phalanx, cries out, in every corner of Paris, that the Jacobins had engrossed all the riches of the monarchy; sensibly offended that his splendid talents did not procure him a place in
the ancient ministry, or perhaps the management of the national treasure, or at least the command of an army, he accuses the popular societies of monopolizing the public employments; consequently the orator of the moderates believes and disapproves at the same time, that the Jacobins at the head of our troops, render victory permanent for the French arms, and lead dauntless republicans into the heart of Germany, Spain, Piedmont, in spite of the combined efforts of routed despotism; he believes and disapproves, that the members of popular societies at the helm of government since the fall of the Brissotins, have saved the Republic from the brink of ruin; and that we owe our permanent and splendid successes to the well digested plans of the patriots, indiscriminately called Jacobins; he accuses the popular societies of being the authors of all the disasters which have scourged the Republic, consequently Barail and his adherents maintain, that Brunswick, Pitt, Kaunitz and Cobourg behaved as the most generous favours of France; that the war of destruction and plunder carried on by the ferocious slaves of despotism, and its cruel allies the Vendean brigands, have poured numberless blessings on the famished and distracted republic; that the insidious federalists, the treacherous rebels of Lyons, Marseilles, the vile merchants of Toulon, bartering with the English for the blood of the Republicans, don't cease to deserve well of the country, the bosom of which they have unnaturally torn: these are the arguments of those men, who after the storm is over, step boldly forward, as reformers of what has been done, while they were hid in the mud of the morals: these are the heroes who publish with affectation, that they were busily employed to defend the national representation, because they know, that the Ægis of liberty, suspended at the entrance of the national hall, presents the head of Medusa to the counter-revolutionary villain, who should dare to approach the Sanctuary of that omnipotent goddess; because they know, that the Convention is carefully guarded by all the true patriots who are ready to present their own bosom to the assassin, who should dare to assault the representatives of the people. They speak of defending the Convention, because they themselves wish and hope, but in vain, to be defended by the Convention in executing their counter-revolutionary plots. Walk in the garden of the Tuileries, and whisper in the ear of one of those intrepid life-guards, that the resurrection of the Vendicans is confirmed, that the catholic army is within 150 miles of the capital; or that the Austrians are already at Brissac, and you will see how precipitately the heroes of the day will pack up and abandon Paris and the Convention to their own fate. I propose to allow full liberty to all those noisy drones [Bourdons] to hum during the sunshine. Aurora. (To be Continued.)
building the frigates, pursuant to a request of the house to the President of the United States, from which it appears that the six frigates are now building at six different ports of the Union.
One of thirty six guns, at Portsmouth in New-Hampshire, and the other of the same size at Baltimore. The four forty fours are building one at Boston one at New-York, one at Philadelphia, and one at Norfolk or Portsmouth in Virginia—The forty fours are to carry each of them thirty six twenty four pounders, and the thirty sixs have each twenty eight twenty four pounders. The rest of their guns are twelves. The utmost attention has been paid to the selection and seasoning of the wood, that the vessels might not be inferior to the best of those built for the maritime powers of Europe.
The instalment bill passed the Committee of the whole and was ordered to be read the third time tomorrow.
The House in Committee of the whole proceeded in the further discussion of the naturalization bill—the second amendment as stated in Monday's Gazette after some further conversation was passed after striking out the word two witnesses—The Committee then rose and reported progress An act supplementary to the impost law and a bill making further provisions in relation to draw backs, were reported by Mr. Goodhue. Adjourned.
PHILADELPHIA, Decem. 31
Says a Correspondent. If any mortal can comprehend the Jargon signed Henry Kammerer, President and Andrew Geyer Secretary—it shall not be said that any one has been used as a Cats paw or any association as a stalking Horse, by the Doctor of nonsense and sedition.

NEW-YORK, December 29. The Editor is preparing for this paper translations of two important reports made to the National Convention and decreed—One on the Civil Code of Laws; the other on the ravages of Vandalism, or the destruction committed on the monuments of the arts during the late Jacobin administration; both highly interesting. The publication of them will commence on the first of January, 1795.
[Minerva.] Translated from the Courier Françoise of this Morning. Extract of a letter from Jérémie, November 25.
We this day learn from the Mole, that on the 18th three Spanish ships from Cuba which have entered the harbour, confirm the news of the nomination of Don Aristizabel to the Generalship of St. Domingo, at the same time commander of the land & sea forces. He is to proceed to Fort Dauphin, with the ships of war and 7000 men, after having convoyed the fleet for Europe into an high latitude. We are assured he has orders from the Court of Spain to feed home, dead or alive that monster Don Joachim Garcia.
A letter from the Mole says, General Williamson will arrive there within eight days, and 6000 English troops are expected daily, that the two generals are to concert their attacks, their fear of which has already determined Gen. Pageot to retire from Port au Paix to the Cape, with his regiment to reinforce that place.
We learn that at Jérémie the most vigorous measures are taken against the Mulattoes. The despotism of persons arrested in the last conspiracy having apprized the people that there were yet 200 dangerous Mulattoes, spread about the neighborhood and in various fields, a general review was ordered in the town at the posts and secret instructions given to disarm all the Mulattoes. This was executed with difficulty—the Mulattoes are imprisoned, and it is said, will be sent to Jamaica.
A letter from Jérémie dated Nov. 29. says, "We learn that some Spanish frigates from Europe, are arrived with troops at Fort Dauphin; that Jean Francois and some persons concerned in the Massacres of July 7th, are arrested and that President Don Garcia has fled.

This Day is Published, A N Authentic History OF THE Revolution in Geneva: Price 32 1-2 Cents. The writer of the above introduces the following highly interesting remark.
"Such a detail will be neither void of interest nor utility to your prudent countrymen. May they reflect on it with attention, and learn by the disastrous example of the most democratical state that exists on the continent of Europe, the extreme danger of foreign influence; and above all, how rapid and inevitable it is to transgress the feeble interval which separates the abuse of liberty from its ruin!"

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 Fifth Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Review , April 1791, 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 of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony is not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; 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 not, we think, properly distributed."  2. The Inquisitor —By Mrs. Rowson, Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents  3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols. a dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine.  4. Notes on the state of Virginia —By Thomas Jefferson.

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. "The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whether by 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 tory nor republican—They love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced."  "In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive."  EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation OF Poole's Synopsis of the Translations of the Bible, And Of The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators  Exhibiting at one view, the principal criticisms, and most valuable elucidations of the Scriptures; Illustrations of the ancient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work.  IT has been a matter of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both curious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest entertainment and utility; in which by the Labors of the learned of various ages and nations, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of modern translations, and the ancient mannerisms, allegories, and figures are illustrated in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most sublime instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophers, in all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man.
This work is proposed to the Public on the following CONDITIONS.  It is supposed the whole will be completed in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a sufficient number shall be subscribed for, to defray the expense.  The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards. No money will be demanded till the first volume shall be completed, when the price of the first and second volumes will be required. When the second volume is finished, the price of the third will be payable. And when the third volume is finished, the price of the fourth must be paid.  The price of such copies as may not be subscribed for will be raised 25 per cent. Dec. 13. 2aw 4w

Lundin M'Kechnie, Taylor, Stay Corset & Habit Maker, No. 26. Chestnut Street, between Second & Third Streets.  RETURNS his most grateful thanks to those who have honored him with their employment, and begs leave to assure them, that from his extensive correspondence in London, he will at all times have it in his power to furnish them with every article in his profession in the newest fashion and of the best quality; and for the better accommodation of his customers he has taken into partnership in the Taylor and Habit making Business, John Sloane from London.
N. B. He makes the famous Patent Stays for the Apparatus Spinalis Extensor, in the use of which he has been very successful in curing distortions in Young People, and has never failed to cure when applications were made in due time, and now begs leave to present to the public a proof of the happy effects.  In September last, James Dodds, late of Britain, applied to me respecting one of his children (a child two years and an half old) who had three of the lower vertebrae of her spine distorted, was very weak, her body bending, could not be moved without pain, had no use of her lower limbs and one of which seemed contracting, and had no ease but in a lying posture. The parents informed me that she had been so for five or six months, and could account for it no other way than a weakness brought on by the whooping-cough, previous to which the child had been active & healthy. Upon the 8th of September I fitted the child with a pair of patent stays and an apparatus Spinalis Extensor; in a few days she seemed perfectly easy, could sit upright and be carried about without complaining—The distortion is now scarcely perceptible; the child can stand or sit upright and walk with a little assistance. This is effected by the mother of the child who has remained since in the city for the benefit of my attendance, the father having gone to the country.  The above is a just state of my child's case. BETTY DODDS
N. B. The Editor of this Gazette has a child under the care of Mr. M'Kechnie, who has worn the stays and apparatus for some time; the case is not a final cure, is very flattering. Dec. 13 ex2t
