ADMIRALTY OFFICE, February 3.
A letter from Rear-Admiral Bligh, late Captain of his Majesty's ship the Alexander, to Mr. Stephens, (a copy of which is as follows) was received at this office the 30th of last month:
On board the Murat , at Brest, November 23d, 1794.
Sir,
THE arrival of the Canada must long since have informed your Lordships of my misfortune, in losing his Majesty's ship Alexander, late under my command, having been taken by a squadron of French ships of war, consisting of five of 74 guns, three large frigates, and an armed brig, commanded by Rear-Admiral Neilly: farther particulars and details I herewith transmit you for their Lordships' information. We discovered this squadron on our weather-bow, about half past two o'clock, or near three, in the morning on the 6th inst. being then in latitude 48 deg. 25 min. N. 7 deg. 53 min. W. the wind then at west, and we steering north-east; on which I immediately hauled our wind, with the larboard tacks on board, and without signal, the Canada being close to us. We passed the strange ships a little before four o'clock, the nearest of whom at about half a mile distant, but could not discover what they were. Shortly after we bore more up, let the reefs out of the topsails, and set steering-fails. About five o'clock perceiving, by my night glass, the strange ships stand after us, we crowded all the sail we could possibly set, as did the Canada, and hauled more to the eastward. About day break the Canada passed us and steering more to the northward than we did, brought her on her larboard bow. Two ships of the line and two frigates pursued her; and three of the line and one frigate chased the Alexander. About half past seven o'clock the French ships hoisted English colours. About a quarter past eight o'clock we hoisted our colours; upon which the French ships hauled down the English, and hoisted theirs; and drawing up within gun shot, we began firing our stern-chaces at them, and received their bow-chaces. About nine o'clock, or shortly after, observing the ships in pursuit of the Canada, drawing with her, and firing at each other their bow and stern-chaces, I made the Canada's signal to form a head for our mutual support, being determined to defend the ships to the last extremity; which signal she instantly answered, and endeavoured to put it in execution by steering towards us; but the ships in chase of her, seeing her intentions, hauled more to starboard to cut her off, and which obliged her to steer the course she had done before. We continued firing our stern-chaces at the ships pursuing us till near eleven o'clock, when three ships of the line came up, and brought us to close action, which we sustained for upwards of two hours, when the ship was a complete wreck; the main yard, spanker-boom, and three top-gallant yards shot away; all the lower masts shot through in many places, and expected every minute to go over the side; all the other masts and yards were also wounded, more or less; nearly the whole of the standing and running rigging cut to pieces, the sails torn into ribbands, and her hull much shattered, and making a great deal of water, and with difficulty she floated into Brest. At this time the ships that had chased the Canada had quit her, and were coming fast up to us, the shot of one of them at the time passing over us. Thus situated, and cut off from all resources, I judged it advisable to consult my officers, and accordingly assembled them all on the quarter-deck; when, upon surveying and examining the state of the ship, (engaged as I have already described) they deemed any farther resistance would be ineffectual, as every possible exertion had already been used in vain to save her, and therefore they were unanimously of opinion, that to resign her would be the means of saving the lives of a number of brave men. Then, and not till then, (painful to relate) I ordered the colours to be struck; a measure which, on a full investigation, I hope and trust their Lordships will not disapprove. Hitherto I have not been able to collect an exact list of the killed and wounded, as many of the former were thrown overboard during the action, and, when taken possession of, the people were divided and sent on board different ships, but I do not believe they exceed forty or thereabouts. No officer above the rank of boatswain's mate, was killed. Lieutenant Fitzgerald, of the Marines, Messrs. Burns, Boatswain, and McCurdy, pilot, were
wounded, but in a fair way of doing well. The cool, steady and gallant behaviour of all my officers and ship's company, marines as well as seamen, throughout the whole action, merits the highest applause; and I should feel myself deficient in my duty, as well as in what I owe to those brave men, were I to omit requesting you will be pleased to recommend them in the strongest manner to their Lordships' favour and protection; particularly lieutenants Goddard, Epworth, Carter, West and Daracott; Major Tench, Lieutenants Fitzgerald and Brown of the marines; Mr. Robinson the master, together with the warrant and petty officers, whose bravery and good conduct I shall ever hold in the highest estimation. I have hitherto been treated with great kindness and humanity, and have not a doubt but that I shall meet with the same treatment during my captivity.
I am, with great respect, Your most obedient, and Most humble servant, R. R. BLIGH.
LONDON, January 18.
At Grave the French emigrants were given up by the 14th article of the capitulation. The constant sacrifice of these unfortunate men during the present war, is an indelible blot on the reputation of the Allies.
A swarm of French privateers are cruising off the Texel, and take a great number of prizes; since the 9th of last month those privateers have carried into Dunkirk 20 Dutch and 16 English prizes.
The latest letters from Warsaw are of the most melancholy description. Most of the illustrious Polish Patriots have been suddenly seized by different detachments of Cossacks, and sent as state prisoners to St. Petersburg.
Madalinski has laid down his arms, and obtained permission to return to Warsaw.
The Empress of Russia has written a letter to the king of Poland, inviting him to quit that capital, and go to Grodno, as a place of more security. The King declared, that, though the rigor of the season, and the bad state of health, were contrary to such a journey, yet he would obey the request of the Empress. It is, alas! but too true, that the life of that excellent Monarch promises but short duration. The wretched state in which his country is involved, has nearly affected him, and will probably accelerate his death.
The horrors and cruelties exercised by the Russian butchers upon the unfortunate Poles, are beyond description; they have not only raised heavy contributions every where, but even gather the revenue, and ever since the reduction of Warsaw not a single sou of the public money has been applied to the exigencies of the State or the King. Famine and want prevail every where; and so exhausted is that devoted country, that even the Russian plunderers, unless they receive speedy supplies, will be compelled by hunger and want to quit Warsaw and other districts of Poland.
On the 26th ult. a very serious insurrection took place in the City of Augsburg, which has been quelled by some Austrian regiments.
Letters from Genoa mention, that the French Commissioners buy up all the provisions they can in that part of Italy, and pay the most exorbitant prices for them.
Orders are said to have been issued to press every seaman for the service of the navy, from Deal to the Land's end, whatever may be the destination of the merchantmen in which he shall be found.
In pursuance of the sentence of a Court Martial held on board his Majesty's ship Stately , the Honourable Admiral Cornwallis President, the following men were executed on Tuesday last, on board the Culloden , for being the principals concerned in the mutiny on board that ship, viz. Francis Watts, Cornelius Sullivan, Jeremiah Curtain, John Johnson and Joseph Collins; three hung on the starboard, and two on the larboard foreyard arm; all the Chaplains of the fleet had orders to attend them: they behaved very penitent, and admitted the justness of their sentence; exhorting all the ship's company to take warning by their unhappy end, and never more to be concerned in mutiny or disobedience to their superior officers. They were turned off about a quarter before twelve, and hung till near one. David Hyman, Samuel Tigge, and James Morris, who were condemned with the others, received his Majesty's pardon, and were put on board three different ships.
Wednesday afternoon an American brig called the Betsy , Capt. Fletcher, arrived at Portsmouth from Havre-de-Grace; which place she left on the 11th inst. On coming ashore at Portsmouth, Capt. Fletcher directly waited upon Sir Peter Parker, the Port-Admiral, and gave him the following information: that the French fleet returned to Brest about ten days ago, and that the
Revolutionaire, of 110 guns, in going in, struck on a rock, and is totally lost: the crew were all saved. He also states, that within these few days two large frigates were launched at Havre, and that there are more in great forwardness. Capt. Fletcher set off immediately for London, with upwards of 20,000l. in specie.
The late Bankruptcies among the Polish Jews have operated the failure of several mercantile houses in Germany. The misfortunes of the former, who are numerous and opulent, arose from the unhappy distractions of Poland. Instead of attending the fair of Leipzig, they transmitted a formal intimation to their creditors, that they were unable to pay their debts, till the lapse of ten years. By these bankruptcies, it is believed, that some of the Dutch and British merchants have collaterally suffered considerable losses.
The French General Jourdan, is said to have been a Haberdasher; but, whatever he was, it is certain that he is now a man of business. As this scheme succeeds so well with them, suppose we should try the experiment of putting our Man-millers, Haberdashers of Small Wares, and Man-mercers, into a state of requisition, just to see what they would do in the army. At home they are totally useless, and a change of place might possibly produce a change of manners.
Considering the exorbitant price of bread, of vegetables, and animal food of all descriptions,—a Proclamation for a fast was scarcely necessary. Many orders of his Majesty's liege subjects will be under the necessity of fasting upon compulsion.
It is a fact very well authenticated, that in the conference which the Dutch commissioners, Messrs. Brantzen and Repelaer, held at Bois-le-Duc with General Pichegru, the latter advised them by all means to continue their journey to Paris, and said, "that from that moment he considered the negotiations of peace to be opened." In consequence of this expression, all the Dutch troops which occupied Bommel and the right banks of the Waal, were ordered to confine themselves to defensive measures, as it was supposed the French would follow the same line of conduct; and this they might have done, if the extreme rigor of the season had not furnished the French General an easy means of crossing the Waal on the ice, and of accomplishing the reduction and conquest of the rich Province of Holland.
This perfidious conduct places, in the fullest light, the principles that guide the policy of the Convention. So long as it seemed impossible to remove the obstacles which obstructed their troops from penetrating into that province, they professed an earnest desire of entering into negotiations of peace with the States General; but these obstacles were no sooner removed, than notwithstanding these negotiations, they forced their way, sword in hand, into the very heart of that country, which, relying on their boasted principles of moderation and justice, had deputed commissioners for the conclusion of peace. All the conclusions, therefore, which certain people would draw from the present moderantisme of the Convention, in favour of pacificatory measures, are evidently illusive, since that moderation is nothing but a mask to hide their ambitious projects, and facilitate their execution, by imposing upon the weak and unguarded.
NATIONAL CONVENTION. Sitting of December 28.
Duhem.—YOU have given proofs that the whole Convention will a republic (laughter—murmurs.) It can therefore never be your intention to second the foolish hopes of aristocracy and royalism, which are impudently rearing their crests at our very doors, and would re-establish the constitution of 1791. (The whole Assembly rose, crying out Vive la Republique! )
The above introductory observations led Duhem again to denounce a publication, entitled, "The French Spectator during the Revolutionary Government," by La Croix, ancient professor at the Lyceum. He read the following passage from the 23d Lecture:
"What may be the true will of the French nation remains still doubtful to me. I am not yet certain, that the people of France do really feel that love for the Republic which results from a careful comparison of the present government with that you have delivered them from. The number of individuals, who like machines, follow every impulse they receive, and adopt or seem to adopt, every opinion suggested by others, is so very great, that I do neither rely on external demonstrations, nor on acclamations, produced either by fear or desire of imitation."
(The whole Assembly arose again, and exclaimed Vive la Republique! under the loudest shouts of applause.)
The author then endeavors to prove, that the clubs, sections, and the popular assemblies are divided by different opinions; that their members do not constitute the tenth part of the nation; that the sentiments proclaimed to-day, are disavowed to-morrow; that it is impossible to take the sense of the primary assemblies, because agitators and a-
narchists would soon direct the elections, intimidate the citizens, and force them to elect enemies of public order and repose. In his opinion, it would be necessary to exclude from those elections all those who could neither read nor write well; who had not been established at least a twelvemonth in the place where they gave their vote, nor paid their contributions and taxes. The author afterwards continues in the following manner:
"The Convention ought to send into every Department a Representative of the People, charged with enquiring into the true sentiments of the nation, and assisted by the national agents, who should visit the different communes and invite all the inhabitants of the age of twenty-one and above, to produce their receipts of contribution, and to have their names, places of abode, trade and profession registered in a book, destined for that purpose. This done, they should be requested to sign a bulletin, at the head of which should be printed the following words: Liberty of Opinions, Protection of Property, and Public Welfare ; and the space under them be divided into different columns, bearing the inscriptions Republican Constitution of 1793; Constitution of 1791; Adhesion to an honourable peace, if it should be proposed by the Belligerent Powers . In each of these columns the citizens in a separate room should inscribe Yes , or No ; fold up the bulletin thus signed, and put it in a separate box, on which the national agent should put the national seal, and all these boxes should be carried to the chief place of the section, there to be opened in the presence of the commissioners; all the different bulletins taken out, and collected in an urn, to be sent to the Convention. By this Assembly forty commissioners should be chosen from among its members, to scrutinize the votes, and verify their result." The author adds, "A great number of people are still of opinion, that the Constitution of 1791 better suited the national character than that of 1793; and that the former, instead of being annihilated, should have been modified." (The most violent expressions of disgust and indignation burst from every part of the hall. Several voices demanded the arrest of the author.)
Laignelot announced, that the Committee of General Safety had already ordered the writer to be taken into custody, the bookseller Buisson, to be put in a state of arrest, and all the copies of the work to be seized, and that the said committee intended to surrender La Croix up to the Revolutionary Tribunal.
Duhem continued the reading of the same work, whose author asserts, that in case the majority of the people wished for the re-establishment of royalty, the Convention would in its wisdom confine its authority within due bounds.
Bourdon, de l'Oise, exclaimed, "I declare, that I never will put other limits to the authority of a King than a poignard." (Loud plaudits. The assembly rose once more, and cried out Vive la Republique! )
In a dialogue, contained in the same treatise, between the author and a member of the Convention, the latter uttering some doubts, that notwithstanding the oath of oblivion, which would be exacted of the new monarch, those who had voted for the death of Louis XVI. might not be safe if they remained in France, the former answers—"Before you resign your powers, in pursuance of the last decree you are to enact, three vessels must be in readiness to convey to America all those deputies and administrators, who should wish to go thither; the value of the revenue and estates they leave behind, must be paid in specie into their hands; and besides this, the sum of twenty thousand livres to each of them by way of indemnity." (Bursts of Laughter.)
The reading of La Croix's work being finished, Mailhe informed the Convention, that nothing could be more certain, than that the enemies of liberty were endeavoring to destroy the republic; that the committees of government were on the point of making a report relative to this subject, wherein they intended to describe the situation of the Republic on and since the 9th of Thermidor; to unfold all the dark manoeuvres of royalists; to refute the paradox which ignorant men had of late asserted, viz. That the people had a right to chuse such a government as they pleased—and to demonstrate, that the nation had no right to chuse and to subject themselves to a King; that they could not re-establish royalty without violating their own rights; and that a private individual, a Frenchman, who wished for a King, was not a man, but a tiger, a foe to humanity. (Shouts of Applause.)
Lequinio.—For several days past, Royalists, and other ill-disposed people,
have resumed their perilous plots, which you will never be able entirely to destroy, without depriving them of this last hope; I mean the last offspring of the impure race of tyrants, who is in the temple. (Plaudits). I move that the committees be charged with devising and proposing the best means of purifying the soil of liberty of the last remaining trace of royalism. Referred to the committees.
Boissy d'Anglas said, that the Royalists, with a view of attacking the republican government, endeavoured to excite in Paris commotions favourable to their intentions, and that they meant to take advantage of the difficulty of procuring provisions, occasioned by the severity of the season, to alarm the people with respect to their subsistence; but that all possible measures had been adopted to convey to the capital by land those provisions, which on account of the Seine being frozen over, could not arrive by water.
Cambon observed, that in all the manoeuvres of the Royalists to overthrow the Republic, he clearly discerned the sequel of the plans of Pitt and Coburg. (Plaudits). He complained of the persecutions, which in several departments true republicans suffered from the partizans of the constitution of 1791. He declaimed with much warmth against libel-mongers, informers, and the obstacles which obstructed the exculpation of such Deputies as were the objects of calumny and slander. "I freely speak my sentiments (added he) when I say, that we at present bend our necks under a tyranny more grinding than even that of Robespierre." (Murmurs.)
Several voices—"He is right; Fre-
ron's tyranny is horrid." Bourdon, de l'Oise—"The first emotion of this Assembly, on hearing read the infamous production of Royalty, produced the solemn promise of poignarding Kings. This our enemies shall learn and tremble, (shouts of applause.) There are people who would render us all the victories of our armies, by confining France within her ancient limits, and make peace by leaving on our shoulders a national debt of eight thousand millions. But you shall soon perceive, that in case of need we are able to carry on the war three years longer.—(Ten years, cried a great number of members.) Your enemies are not ignorant of it, and this makes them tremble."
Sitting of Dec. 29.
Le Carpentier announced, that in a few days he would propose a total abolition of the Civil Courts of justice in the Districts.—(Murmurs)
Armonville mounted the tribune with the red cap on his head.
A great number of voices,—Down with the cap.
Armonville placed his cap on Marat's head. He was applauded from a part of the Hall, and proceeded to justify himself in several charges brought against him.
Seyeyes demanded to be dispensed with being a Member of the Committee of Twenty-one, on pretence that he was a supplant at the Committee of legislation.
Bernard de Saintes thought it strange that Seyeyes should make use of false pretences to get dispensed with his duty.
Glauzel said, that Seyeyes would do well to check his indolence, and to be more exact in the performing of his duty.
Johannot read a proclamation, destined to acquaint the French people with the beneficial consequences of the abolition of the law of the maximum, which was approved of and adopted.
Michault du Doubs—"This proclamation will not do. It says, that patriots are no longer persecuted in the Departments, and I assure you, that they are treated there with the utmost infamy. The Popular Societies are intended to be suppressed in a mass.—(No no, exclaimed the whole convention.) Well, enact then a Decree which states, that the Popular Societies have never ceased to deserve well of country, and that the Constituted Authorities are to protect them."—(laughter.)
Girou Pouzel—"The proposition suits wonderfully well the time, when all the popular Societies congratulated us on the overthrow of that which lorded it over them all."
Lefage Senault—"Thou liest." (Violent murmurs.)
The President called Senault to order. Several Members demanded that he should be sent to the Abbey prison.
Senault and Ruamps raised their voice in the uproarious confusion which ensued.—At last Girou was allowed to proceed.—"Ye are no citizens, ye who spurn at this great Society, because it

as a rival authority and power."
Chaval.—These Gentlemen claim a
kind of Noblesse in patriotism.
Girard.—The Jacobins rose in open
rebellion against the Convention! their
leaders feasted among us, marked out
their victims. (Several voices they are
still in rebellion.) Several Popular So-
cieties refused to acknowledge the Na-
tional Representation, and others would
destroy it. Those of Marseilles, Dijon,
I demand the order of the day.—Adop-
ted.
Sitting of Dec. 30.
Malhe.—"I said, in the Sitting of
the 28th, that a Frenchman, who de-
manded a King, was not a man, but a
tiger, and a foe to humanity. The Ed-
itor of the Journal of Debates, makes
me add to those expressions, the follow-
ing—He is a Turk. No doubt the
Convention would have risen, to demand
my punishment, if I had dared, in so
rude a manner, to insult the Ottoman
Porte, the Friend and ally of the Re-
public. Our Foreign enemies, who
attack the liberty of the French, we will
certainly pursue, till we shall be able to
dictate an honorable peace; but, at the
same time, we will never cease to respect
the laws of neutrality. The Convention
and the People of France, have, in
the constitutional act, solemnly declar-
ed, that they will never interfere in
the domestic concerns of foreign govern-
ments, and never will they depart from
this principle, founded in the sacred
rights of nations, and intimately con-
nected with the safety and tranquility of
other governments." The Convention
decreed, that this declaration should be
inserted in the bulletin, and a copy of
it sent to the French Ambassador at
Constantinople.
Brival observed, that the decree,
which prohibited the Republican armies
from giving quarters to the British and
Hanoverian, and Spanish troops, was in
open contradiction with the law
of nations, and moved for its repeal.—
Decreed.
Moulinay informed the Convention,
that Lacroix, the author of the libellous
publication, denounced in the sitting of
the 28th, had been taken into custody,
on his return from Versailles, and that a-
mong his papers had been found a letter
addressed to his bookseller, wherein he
said, that it was his intention to dedicate
his work to the Convention, and that this
measure would greatly increase its sale,
since it would be noticed in the bulletin of
the Assembly and all the newspapers.
Several petitioners appeared at the bar,
whose prayers were directed against acts
of violence and oppression, committed
under the reign of Robespierre. Among
them were some extraordinary Deputies
from Brest, interceding for the discharge
of a number of seamen, who had been
confined since the recapture of Toulon—
Mazer converted their request into a
motion; and the Convention decreed, that
the above seamen should be set at liberty.
Sitting of December 31.
Boiffier, in the names of the Commit-
tees of the Marine, of Colonies, and Pub-
lic Welfare.—"Our naval forces are all
animated by the same spirit; they all dis-
play the same energy and zeal in the de-
fence of the Republic; they burn with de-
sire to convince the English, those tyrants
of the main, that they are worthy rivals
of our land troops, and, like them, strive
to beat down the pride of those insolent
Manders, who but too long have been suf-
fered to violate the most incontestible
rights of the Maritime Powers. A late e-
vent is well calculated to prove to the En-
glish, that their flag will be forced to sink
in the same manner before that of the Repub-
lic, as their colours and standards bow be-
fore those of the Republican banners; and
that it is no more difficult to conduct their
line of battle ships into our ports, than to
exterminate their battalions and squadrons,
by the valour of our armies. It is time
you should the more devote your most ser-
ious attention to our navy, as henceforth
from the Marine of the Republic, you must
chiefly expect the humiliation of our ene-
mies, the prosperity of our trade and com-
merce, and the superiority over all other
nations, which the French People ought
to derive from their external relations.—
You must establish naval institutions on
the same plan, and nearly under the same
forms, as those that have been enacted for
the fabrication of salt-petre and gun pow-
der, the result of which has afforded the
Republic advantages which exceed all cal-
culation." By these, and a great number
of similar observations, Boiffier introduced
the project of a decree, consisting of
eighteen articles, relative to the establish-
ment of Revolutionary Schools of Navi-
gation and Maritime Artillery, which the
Convention adopted without the least dis-
cussion.
On the report of Scellier, the Conven-
tion suppressed the privileges of the free
ports of Dunkirk, Marseilles, and Bayone.
Several legions appeared at the bar to
congratulate the Assembly on the rigour
used against Lacroix, the teacher of Royal-
ism. On this occasion Andre Dumont ob-
served, that the Convention should take
care not to be deceived by those, who cri-
ed out the loudest against Royalism; that
their only intention was, to lead astray
the Departments, by making them believe
that Paris is full of Royalists. "Royal-
ists," he said "are those who aim at u-
surping the sovereignty of the nation.—
(Applauded.) Labor blood. (Plaudits.)
In my opinion, all sorts of capital punish-
ments should now be abolished, except a-
gainst Royalists. But all citizens ought to be
forewarned of the poison, which ill-dispos-
ed persons attempt to diffuse through the
Departments, and the poor people should be
told, that a Republican does not shed
blood with pleasure. (Bursts of Applause)
Lejeune.—"There certainly exists a
Royalist faction. A Pamphlet entitled
A Christmas Gift for the Friends of the
Good Old times, is every where hawked a-
bout in this metropolis, which openly
preaches Royalism. I move, that it be re-
ferred to the Committees, and they be
charged with taking the necessary measures
against its infamous author." A member
observed, that proper means were already
adopted by the Committee of General
Safety, to stop the further circulation of
that anonymous writing. (Plaudits.)
Lecointre Puyravaux.—"It is worthy of
remark, that those who committed the
greatest atrocities under the reign of ter-
ror, were Royalists in 1789. Thus, Roy-
alists under the reign of Garet, tyrants un-
der that of Robespierre, they now em-
brace again the former cause. The Royal-
ist pamphlets which have poured upon us
within these last days, are the productions
of men, who have been despoiled by our
colleagues in the Departments. (Shouts of
applause.) I demand, that all those, who
have lost their places, be ordered to leave
Paris within a short time."
Clauzel.—"One and twenty miscreants
among whom was a member of the in-
famous Commons, who defended Robe-
spierre there till midnight, exhibited last
night the most scandalous scenes in the
section of Bonnenouvelle. They proposed
an address, wherein they inveighed against
Royalism, but at the same time demanded
that no farther mention should be made of
blood-suckers, and terrorists, since these
terms had been applied to the best of pa-
triots. No, Citizens, a good patriot ne-
ver sheds blood, he never robs or plun-
ders; the above terms therefore cannot
apply to him. Great criminals seize the
columns of the temple, in hopes, that like
Samson, they shall be able to shake it
down on the heads of the Convention.—
I demand, that all the blood-suckers late-
ly arrived at Paris, to assist the great cri-
minals in it, be ordered, without the least
delay, to leave the metropolis."
Duhem.—"When I mounted this tri-
bune to denounce the work of Lacroix, I
did not suppose, that fashion and intrigue
would dare to represent me as a Royalist.
(Violent murmurs.) It appears to me
that the system of terror has merely chang-
ed its name. (Violent murmurs.) True
fans-culottes are not allowed to avail them-
selves of the liberty of the press to con-
found their numerous slanderers, and we,
who do not possess the treasures of Madam
Cabarrus, we—" (Great noise) Tallien
insisted on being heard. Leveleur de la
Sarthe demanded leave also to denounce
that system of terror.
Several voices.—"Down with the as-
sassin of Philipeaux. (The Assembly re-
mained some time in a violent agitation.)
Duhem demanded again the liberty of the
press, and the freedom of opinions. Tal-
lien asked for the honor of the Convention
on leave to answer, Leveleur raised his
voice in the tumult. The Convention de-
creed at last, that Tallien should be heard.
(Repeated plaudits.)
Barras.—"The Convention ought to
put a period to this indecent and scandal-
ous conduct. We must not attend to a
few miscreants, whose interest it is to inter-
rupt our deliberations, that they may be
able to re-establish terrorism. (Plaudits.)
Tallien.—"A woman has been menti-
oned in this Assembly; I did not suppose
that she would have become the object of
the deliberations of the Convention. The
daughter of Cabarrus has been named.—
Well, I herewith declare she is my wife.
(Shouts of applause) One of the assassins
of Philipeaux was going to accuse me.—
He would never forgive the injury with
which he insulted that generous and illus-
trious victim. I was acquainted with
Madam Cabarrus at Bourdeaux; her vir-
tues and misfortunes claimed my esteem.
She arrived at Paris under the reign of
terror, and was thrown into prison. An
emissary of the tyrant promised her imme-
diate discharge, and a passport for foreign
countries, if she would write a letter, stat-
ing, that she knew Tallien to be a bad ci-
tizen. She spurned at so vile an offer, and
among the papers of the tyrant a memo-
randum has been found, which devoted
her to the scaffold. This woman, citi-
zens is my wife. (Repeated plaudits.)
Laignelot.—"The Committee of
General Safety was informed before hand
of the scene, which we have witnessed.
It was premeditated. (Plaudits from every
part of hall.)
Several members.—"That is true:—
look at the women, who are crowded in
that gallery."
A member.—"Well, worthy supporters
of Duhem, have you nothing to say?"
Laignelot.—"I see no other patriots
here, but among the majority of the Con-
vention, who would fix their attention on
the happiness of the people, but for the
scandalous scenes, which are concerted be-
fore hand, to interrupt our deliberations.
(Applauded.) In those men, who have
domineered over France, who have shed
streams of blood, protected the most cri-
minal dilapidations of the public money,
who called in to their assistance all the cri-
minals that have been dismissed from
their offices by our colleagues in the De-
partments, I clearly discern the Royalists."
(Loud plaudits.)
Laignelot.—All the commotions in this
place and in the sections take their date
from the moment, when the three Com-
mittees declared, that there was room for
enquiring into the conduct of men, whom
I shall not prejudice. (Applauded.) If
they are innocent what mean all their
commotions? What else can be their aim,
than to vilify the Convention, and to force
the people to say that there exists no longer
any national dignity, majesty, and
representation. I demand that the Con-
vention no longer admit vague inculpa-
tions, and that every member who shall in-
sult his colleagues, be sent to the Abbaye
prison. The Committee of General Safe-
ty keeps a watchful eye over all intrigues
and manoeuvres of the enemies of the pub-
lic welfare, and but for some men whom
the public character, with which they are
invested, places beyond its reach, all com-
motions in this metropolis, would long
since have been at an end.
Andre Dumont, St. Just, and Lebas,
sent into the department of the North,
had express orders to arrest, without ex-
ception, all nobles and people of property
to send them to the scaffold. All the Na-
tional Agents in the Department, which I
have visited, were ordered to send in lists of
those inhabitants, whose contributions ex-
ceeded twenty livres (movements of hor-
ror) without minding the objections,
which the Representatives of the People
may think proper to make, or even with-
out communicating to them the above or-
ders. I demand that the Convention
enact a decree purporting that every mem-
ber who insults his colleague, shall be sent
to the Abbaye prison. Adopted.
Breard.—"There exists more than one
system to overthrow our liberty.
Fanaticism has raised every passion;
Royalism has not yet given up its hopes
and Terrorism feels bolder than ever.
Committees are excited, that some great
criminals may escape public justice, and
every day attempts are made to arm us
one against another. People whom we
meet in the streets, relate to us every
word our colleagues have said against us.
Soured by their reports, we enter the as-
sembly, and inculpatious and commotions
arise. The Committee of General Safety
ought to be constantly on the watch, and to
send back into the departments all those just-
ly suspected persons who have no business
here."
In the course of this sitting a letter
was read from Nantes, stating, that the
inhabitants of la Vendee who had taken
up arms against the Republic, and offi-
cers of the army of Charette were daily
joining their brethren, full of confidence
and gratitude towards the Convention,
that they meet with the most friendly
reception, and that their favorite toasts
now are, Vive la Republique! Vive la
Convention! The letter was highly ap-
plauded and ordered to be inserted in
the bulletin.
PHILADELPHIA, April 9.
A Correspondent says it is probable that
the Editor of the Aurora, will not be request-
ed to re-publish the 7th number of the Cutting
Strictures of Franklin—for like a child who
plays with edge tools this Cutting writer has
therein cut himself most confoundedly. The
late Secretary Jefferson says that Great Bri-
tain did not with for a Commercial Treaty
with this Country because her trade with us,
was on a good footing already—but this cut-
ting, or cunning Franklin says, we sought a
Treaty because our Commerce with Great
Britain was as good in law, and better in fact
than that of the most favored nation. What
a pyramid of arguments has this cutting writer
raised on this solid basis!
The latest Boston papers do not con-
tain the result of the contested election
between Mr. Dexter and Mr. Varnum.
Rejoicings, on account of the late
European intelligence, have taken place
in New-York, Boston, &c. The prin-
ciple appears to be, not that the French,
but that the Dutch have taken Holland.
Conclusion of the Declaration of the Em-
press of Russia, published in yesterday's
paper.
"With the same rapid progress of
the troops in Lithuania, several corps
sent off by General Field Marshal count
Romanzow Sadunaisby, who had pene-
trated farther after the defeat of the in-
furgents, united under the command of
Gen. field Marshal Suwarra Rimmnitzki
and triumphed several times over the
infurgents, especially at Brezecz, on the
8th of September, where their numerous
army was destroyed. On the other side
the Russian corps, which, since the re-
treat of the Prussians, from Warsaw,
had been stationed beyond the Vistula,
under the command of Lieutenant Ge-
neral Von Fersen, crossed that river,
notwithstanding the obstacles which
the enemy threw in its way, attacked,
on the 14th of October, near Mackow-
icz, the chief of the infurgents, Koscius-
zko, with his chosen army, defeated
him completely and took prisoner that
chief himself, and many others. The
Russian generals profited by such a de-
cisive advantage, and hastened to extend
it farther; in consequence count Su-
warra Rimmnitzki directed his march,
against Warsaw, united himself with
the corps coming from Grodno and
Bialystock, who had reiterated defeat-
ed the enemy, as likewise with those
troops who had crossed the Vistula;
and after having defeated the Polish
Vanguard reached, on the 26th of Oc-
tober, Praga, the suburb of Warsaw,
situate on the right bank of the Vistula,
strongly fortified, provided with a large
train of artillery, and defended by a con-
siderable army. Here the valor of the
Russian army, so beloved by its command-
ers, conquered likewise all difficulties.—
Praga was carried by storm on the 24th
of November; and the defeat which the
enemy experienced on that occasion, made
such an impression upon Warsaw, as to
compel that city to crave quarters, and
leave its fate at the discretion of the con-
querors, to whom it surrendered."
"Thus has the insurrection been quel-
led in Poland: thus have the snare of
the traitors been destroyed. Acknowledg-
ing therefore, the Divine favors which
have crowned all the enterprises and acts
of her Imperial majesty without interrupti-
on, during a reign of 33 years, may all
her faithful subjects return due thanks
to the Almighty, & offer up their most
sincere prayers, that the almighty may
grant his most holy aid, in the com-
plete termination of this affair, to the
benefit and glory of the empire, and to
the establishment of the lasting tranquil-
ity and safety of her frontiers in time to
come."
The lines in Italics were o-
mitted in yesterday's Gazette.

NEW-YORK, April 8.
The Charleston City Gazette, of
March 25, says—"On Monday last,
in the court of admiralty for this district,
judge Thomas Bee decreed, that the
libel exhibited against the brigantine
Betsey, and John B. Sargeant, be dis-
missed, with costs, inasmuch as it ap-
peared that the plea to the jurisdiction
of the court, under the 17th article of
the treaty with France, was relevant in
this cause."
We find in a Charleston paper of the
21st March, under the Savannah head
of March 12, the following paragraph:
"Last Thursday a decree of restitu-
tion of the brig Everton and cargo, cap-
tured on the 31st of December last, on
her voyage to Liverpool, by the Eg-
gle privateer, was given by the federal
district court, in favor of John Wallace,
Esq., vice-consul of his Britannic ma-
jesty, libellant of the said brig and car-
go."
PARIS, Jan. 5.
The following interesting account has
been published of the Death of Con-
dorcet:
After the 31st of May, 1793, Con-
dorcet was obliged to conceal himself
with the greatest care for the purpose
of avoiding the fate of Brissot and the
other Deputies who were executed. He
did not, however, attempt to quit Paris,
but concealed himself in the house of
a female, who, though she knew him only
by name, did not hesitate to risk her
own life for the purpose of preserving
that of Condorcet. In her house he
remained till the month of April last,
when it was rumoured that a domicilia-
ry visit was to be made, which obliged
him to leave Paris. Although he had
neither passport nor civic card, he es-
caped through the Barrier, and arrived
at the plain of Mont-rouge, where he
expected to find an asylum in the coun-
try house of an intimate friend. Unfor-
tunately this friend had set out for Pa-
ris, where he was to remain three days.
During all this period, Condorcet wan-
dered about the fields and in the woods,
not daring to enter an Inn, on account
of not having a civic card. Half dead
with hunger, fatigue, and fear, and
scarcely able to walk on account of a
wound in his foot, he passed the night
under a tree.
At length his friend returned, and
received him with great cordiality; but
as it was deemed imprudent that he
should enter the house in the day-time,
he returned to the woods till night. In
this short interval between morning
and night his caution forsook him, and
he resolved to go to an Inn for the
purpose of procuring food. He went
to an Inn at Clamars, and ordered an
omlette. His torn cloaths, his dirty
cap, his meagre and pale countenance,
and the greediness with which he de-
voured the omlette, fixed the attention
of the persons in the Inn, among whom
was a Member of the Revolutionary
Committee of Clamars. This man con-
ceiving him to be Condorcet, who had
effected his escape from the Bicetre,
asked him whence he came, whither he
had a passport.
The confused manner in which he re-
plied to these questions, induced the
member to order him to be conveyed
before the committee, who, after an
examination, sent him to the district of
Bouy la Reine. He was there inter-
rogated again, and the unsatisfactory
answers that he gave determined the di-
rectors of the district to send him to pri-
son on the succeeding day. During the
night he was confined in a kind of dun-
geon. On the next morning when his
keeper entered with some bread and wa-
ter for him, he found him stretched on
the ground without any signs of life.
On inspecting the body, the imme-
diate cause of his death could not be
discovered, but it was conjectured that
he had poisoned himself. Condorcet
indeed always carried a dose of poison
in his pocket, and he said to his friend
who was to have received him into his
house, that he had been often tempted
to make use of it, but the idea of a wife
and daughter, whom he loved tenderly
restrained him. During the time that
he was concealed at Paris, he wrote a
history of the Progress of the Human
Mind in two volumes.

BOOKS.
PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs. Rowson, of the New Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extracts from the Critical Reviews, April 1795, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- traced from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artfully and touching—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.”
 2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson, 82- second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents  3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine.  4.

History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars. 
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. “The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find in it only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whichever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colors. It was necessary to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lish whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be accept- able to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.”
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—PAGE 12.

This Lottery will afford an elegant spec- men of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful de- signs 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. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the neces- sary expenses of printing, &c., and the sur- plus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
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 prizes 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 settle 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 ap- pointment 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 suffi- cient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Uni- versity and the other federal objects may con- tinue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution. A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a se- lection of the best materials, ancient and mod- ern, will be submitted to the public when- ever 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 ex- istence for the general good of America. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Eu- rope, 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
