FROM THE ARGUS.
THE DEFENCE — No. XXII.
THE analogy of the stipulation in the 10th article, with stipulations in our other treaties, and in the treaties between other nations, is the remaining topic of discussion. After this, attention will be paid to such observations, by way of objection to the article, as may not have been before expressly or virtually answered.
The 20th article of our treaty of amity and commerce with France, is in these words:
"For the better promoting of commerce on both sides, it is agreed, that if a war shall break out between the said two nations, six months after the proclamation of war, shall be allowed to the merchants in the cities and towns where they live, for selling and transporting their goods and merchandise, and if any thing be taken from them, or any injury be done them within that term by either party, or the people or subjects of either, full satisfaction shall be made for the same."
The 18th article of our treaty of amity and commerce with the United Netherlands, is in these words:
"For the better promoting of commerce on both sides, it is agreed, that if a war should break out between their high mightinesses, the States General of the United Netherlands, and the United States of America, there shall always be granted to the subjects on each side, the term of 9 months, after the date of the rupture or the proclamation of war, to the end that they may retire with their effects and transport them where they please, which it shall be lawful for them to do, as well as to sell and transport their effects and goods with all freedom and without any hindrance, and without being able to proceed, during the said term of 9 months, to any arrest of their effects, much less of their persons; on the contrary, there shall be given them for their vessels and effects which they would carry away, passports and safe conducts for the nearest ports of their respective countries, and for the time necessary for the voyage."
The 22d article of our treaty of amity and commerce with Sweden, is in these words:
"In order to favor commerce on both sides as much as possible, it is agreed, that in case war should break out between the two nations, the term of nine months after the declaration of war shall be allowed to the merchants and subjects respectively on one side and the other, in order that they may withdraw with their effects and moveables, which they shall be at liberty to carry off or to sell where they please, without the least obstacle — nor shall any seize their effects, and much less their persons, during the said nine months; but on the contrary, passports, which shall be valid for a time, necessary for their return, shall be given them for their vessels and the effects which they shall be willing to carry with them — and, if any thing is taken from them, or any injury is done to them by one of the parties, their people and subjects during the term above prescribed, full and entire satisfaction shall be made to them on that account."
The twenty-third article of our treaty of amity and commerce with Prussia, contains this provision:
"If war should arise between the two contracting parties, the merchants of either country, then residing in the other, shall be allowed to remain nine months to collect their debts and settle their affairs, and may depart freely, carrying off all their effects without molestation or hindrance."
These articles of four, and the only commercial treaties we had with foreign powers, prior to the pending treaty with Great Britain, though differing in terms, agree in substance; except as to time which varies from six to nine months. And they clearly amount to this, that upon the breaking out of a war between the contracting parties in each case, there shall be for a term of six or nine months full protection and security to the persons and property of the subjects of one, which are then in the territories of the other, with liberty to collect their debts, to sell their goods and merchandise, and to remove, with their effects, wheresoever they please. For this term of six or nine months there is a complete suspension of the pretended right to confiscate or sequester, giving or being designed to give an opportunity to withdraw the whole property which the subjects or citizens of one party have in the country of the other.
The differences between these stipulations and that in the article under examination are chiefly these: The latter is confined to debts, property in the public funds and in public and private banks, without any limitation of the duration of the protection — The former comprehends, in addition, goods and merchandise, with a limitation of the protection to a term of six or nine months; but with the intent and supposition that the term allowed may and will be adequate to entire security. The principle, therefore, of all the stipulations is the same; each aims at putting the persons and property of the subjects of one enemy, especially merchants, being within the country of the other enemy at the commencement of a war, out of the reach of confiscation or sequestration.
The persons whose names are to our other treaties, on the part of the United States, are Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, Arthur Lee, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. The three first are to the treaty with France — Mr. Adams is singly to that with the United Netherlands — Dr. Franklin singly to that with Sweden, and these two, with Mr. Jefferson, are jointly to that with Prussia. The treaty with Sweden was concluded in April, 1783; that with Prussia in August, 1785. These dates repel the idea, that considerations of policy, relative to the war, might have operated in the case.
We have consequently the sanction of all these characters to the principles which governed the stipulation entered into by Mr. Jay, and not only from the ratification of the former treaties at different periods, distant from each other, by different
* The term "debts," is only expressed in the Prussian treaty, but there are in the other treaties terms which include debts, and this is the manifest spirit and intent of all.
ferent description of men in our public councils, but also from their never having been heard, in the community, a lip or murmur against the stipulation, through a period of seventeen years, counting from the date of the treaty with France, there is just ground to infer a coincidence of the public opinion of the country.
I verily believe, that if in the year 1783, a treaty had been made with England, containing an article similar to the 10th in the present treaty, it would have met with general acquiescence. The spirit of party had not then predisposed mens minds to eliminate the propriety of a measure according to its real fitness, rather than according to its real fitness and quality. What would then have been applauded as wise, liberal, equitable and expedient, is now in more instances than one, under the pestilential influence of that baleful spirit, condemned as imprudent, impolitic and dangerous.
Our treaty with Prussia, the 23d article of which has been cited, is indeed a model of liberality, which for the principles it contains, does honour to the parties, and has been in this country a subject of deferred and unqualified admiration. It contradicts, as if studiously, those principles of restriction and exclusion, which are the foundations of the mercantile and navigating system of Europe. It grants perfect freedom of conscience and worship to their respective subjects and citizens, with no other restraint than that they shall not insult the religion of others, adopting the rule that free ships shall make free goods, it extends the protection to the persons as well as to the goods of enemies. Enumerating, as contraband, only "arms, ammunition, and military stores," it even provides that contraband articles shall not be confiscated, but may be taken on the condition of paying for them. It provides against embargoes of vessels and effects. It expressly exempts women, children, scholars of every faculty, cultivators of the earth, artisans, manufacturers, and fishermen, unarmed and inhabiting unfortified towns, villages and places, and in general, all others whose occupations are for the common subsistence and benefit of mankind, their houses, fields, and goods, from molestation in their persons and employments, and from burning, wasting, and destruction, in time of war; and stipulates payment at a reasonable price for what may be necessarily taken from them for military use. It likewise protects from seizure and confiscation, in time of war, vessels employed in trade, and inhibits the granting commissions to private armed vessels, empowering them to take or destroy such trading vessels, or to interrupt their commerce; and it makes a variety of excellent provisions to secure to prisoners of war, a humane treatment.
These particulars are stated as evidence of the temper of the day, and of a policy, which then prevailed, to bottom our system with regard to foreign nations upon those grounds of moderation and equity, by which reason, religion and philosophy had tempered the harsh maxims of more early times. It is painful to observe an effort to make the public opinion, in this respect, retrograde, and to infect our councils with a spirit contrary to the policy of those towards improvement in true civilization and humanity.
If we pass from our own treaties, to those between other nations, we find that the provisions, which have been extracted from ours, have very nearly become formulas in the Conventions of Europe. As examples of this may be consulted, the following articles of treaties between Great Britain and other powers (to wit) the XVIII. article of a treaty of peace and commerce with Portugal, in 1642 — the XXXVI. article of a treaty of peace commerce, and alliance with Spain, in 1667 — the XIX. article of a treaty of peace, and the II. of a treaty of commerce with France, both in 1713 and the XII. article of a treaty of commerce and navigation with Russia, in 1766.
The articles with Portugal provides, that if difficulties and doubts shall arise between the two nations, which give reason to apprehend the interruption of commerce, public notice of it shall be given to the subjects on both sides, and after that notice, two years shall be allowed to carry away the merchandise and goods, and in the mean time, there shall be no injury or prejudice done to any persons or goods on either side.
The articles with France, in addition to the provisions common in other cases, particularly stipulate, that during the term of the protection (six months) "the subjects on each side shall enjoy good and speedy justice, so that during the said space of six months, they may be able to recover their goods and effects, entrusted as well to the public, as to private persons."
The article with Russia, besides stipulating an exemption from confiscation for one year, with the privilege to remove and carry away in safety, provides additionally, that the subjects of each party "shall be further permitted, either at or before their departure, to consign the effects which they shall not as yet have disposed of, as well as the debts that shall be due to them to such persons as they shall think proper, in order to dispose of them according to their desire and for their benefit, which debts, the debtors shall be obliged to pay in the same manner as if no such rupture had happened."
All these articles are, with those in our treaties, analogous in principle, as heretofore particularly explained, to the 10th article of the treaty under discussion. That of the British treaty with France designates expressly debts due from the public as well as those due from private persons. That with Russia goes the full length of our tenth article; empowering the creditors on each side to assign the debts, which they are not able to collect within the term of their residence to whomsoever they think fit for their own benefit, and declaring that these debts shall be paid to the assignees in the same manner as if no rupture had happened.
There is a document extant, which may fairly be supposed to express the sense of the government of France, at the period to which it relates, of the foundation of these stipulations. It is a memorial of Mr. Buffy, minister from the Court of France to that of London, for negotiating peace, dated in the year 1761, and contains these passages "As it is impracticable for two Princes, who make war with each other, to agree between them which is the
aggressor with regard to the other, equity and humanity have dictated these precautions, that where an unforeseen rupture happens suddenly and without any previous declaration, foreign vessels, navigating under the security of peace, and of treaties, happen, at the time of the rupture, to be in either of the respective ports, shall have time and full liberty to withdraw themselves."
"This wise provision so agreeable to the rules of good faith, constitutes a part of the law of nations, and the article of the treaty, which sanctifies these precautions, ought to be faithfully executed, notwithstanding the breach of the other articles of the treaty which is the natural consequence of the war."
"The Courts of France and Great Britain used this salutary precaution in the treaties of Utrecht and Aix la Chapelle."
These prefaces place the security stipulated in the treaties for the persons and property of the subjects of one party found in the country of another, at the beginning of a war, upon the footing of its constituting a part of the law of nations, which may be considered as a formal diplomatic recognition of the principle for which we contend. As this position was not itself in dispute between the two governments, but merely a collateral inference from it, applicable to vessels taken at sea, prior to a declaration of war, it may be regarded as a respectable testimony of the law of nations on the principal point.
If the law of nations confers this exemption from seizure upon vessels, which, at the time of the rupture, happen to be in the respective ports of the belligerent parties, it is evident that it must equally extend its protection to debts contracted in a course of lawful trade. Vessels are particularly mentioned, because the discussion turned upon vessels seized at sea. But the reference to the treaties of Utrecht and Aix la Chapelle shows that the minister, in his observation, had in view the whole subject matter of the articles of those treaties, which provide for the security of merchants and their effects in the event of war.
This conformity, in principle of the article under examination, with the provisions in so many treaties of our own and of other nations, taken in connection with the comment of Mr. Buffy, brings a very powerful support to the article. It is additional and full evidence that our Envoy, in agreeing to it, did not go upon new and untried ground; that, on the contrary, he was in a beaten track; that in pursuing the dictates of reason, and the better opinion of writers, as to the rule of the law of nations respecting the point, he was at the same time pursuing the examples of all the other treaties which we had ourselves made, and of many of those of other countries.
CAMILLUS.
(To be Continued.)
• Thus we find the sentiment of this minister, that it is impossible for two Princes who make war with each other, to agree which is the aggressor with regard to the other. And yet Mr. Jay was to extort from Great Britain an acknowledgment that she was the aggressor with regard to us, and was guilty of perverseness in waving the question.
From the English Reviews.
NATIONAL AFFAIRS
FOR THE MONTH OF AUGUST, 1795.
FRANCE.
Though peace has been made between France and Spain, though this must infallibly be followed, at no great distance of time, by peace between France and the Italian powers, as well as with the Empire of Germany and the House of Austria; tho' the French Republic is actually in possession of the Low Countries, comprehending the Seven United Provinces; and, finally, notwithstanding the disorders of Quiberon: it would seem that the project of sending the emigrants to join their friends, and raise a party in the interior of France is not yet abandoned. Certain it is, that if this cannot be done, all hopes of success to the Royalists are lost. Not tho' the confederacy had remained unshaken, and even new powers had joined, that any rational hope could have been entertained of subduing such a country as France, united in its resistance. Emigrants from different quarters of Europe assemble at Southampton. An army is collected here, seventy thousand strong, and it is daily increasing. LOUIS XVIII.
In the midst of these preparations, issues a proclamation fraught with sentiments of dignity, clemency, and patriotism. The constitution of the French monarchy, that has led to so much prosperity and glory, he is determined, with the aid of his loyal subjects to maintain; and, when tranquillity shall be restored, to reform its abuses. Several hundred thousand of this manifesto have been published. Manifestos seldom prevail against the actual possession. It is not unnatural, however, in the French princes and nobles to make the experiment. Among the emigrants are numbers of gentlemen of great courage and honor. The
COUNT DE SOMBREUIL.
Is a glorious instance of what spirits a great monarchy, and the love of glory, its natural concomitant, is capable of forming. Humanity might wish for the restoration of the monarchy in the hands of so amiable and element a prince as Louis XVIII. whom dreadful experience has taught the danger of oppression. It is conjectured, that the army assembling on the coast of Hampshire, is to attempt a march directly to Paris, along the course of the Seine; the same route that was taken by our Edwards and Henrys in former times. Had this measure been taken in time, perhaps it might have been successful. But as we have often, indeed uniformly, had occasion to observe, we are always a day behind the fair: equally deficient in wisdom of councils and promptitude of action. The vigorous preparations, however, that are still on foot, may have a tendency to forward negotiation for a general peace. Few, we presume, hope that it will restore the ancient government.
The present war, or, as it has been called not improperly, crusade, furnishes an inexhaustible source of various reflections, of which, the most important to crowned heads is this, that it is big with danger

to all monarchies, inasmuch as it is actually carried on against a coalition of men of no property, that is a great majority of the French nation, at the expence of those who have, at the expence of an accumulation of taxes, paid by men of property in different countries in Europe. But those men of property are not united among themselves by a common interest, like the men in France of no property. They are so far from being united, like them, by a common danger, that they are divided by particular interests. It is probable that another campaign, by an increase of taxes and a growing scarcity or dearth of provisions throughout the whole of Europe, would produce discontent among all men of property; and thus sovereign princes, by committing their cause to the uncertain issue of arms, are menaced with those dangers which, by means of arms they wished to avoid. Ambition or pride produces war, war taxes, taxes, discontent, public murmurs, meetings, and measures for redress; and meetings for redress, revolutions in government. It often happens, that ambition blindly labors for its own destruction. The French councils and operations against the English in America rebounded on the power that directed them.
Philosophical politicians, or, to avoid all mention on the suspicious word philosophical, men acting on comprehensive views or system, before they took any decided part, would have well weighed all the causes that might produce disunion among the grand confederation.
First. There might be a disunion of one state from another state; commercial states from military states; England, for instance, and Holland, cannot have the same interests as Prussia, the Empire and Russia.
Secondly. A division may take place among individual subjects of the same state; for in all states there is a difference between the interest of feudal and commercial proprietors.
Thirdly. The wealthy or rich in all countries, but particularly those under arbitrary governments, are the most self-interested; and, from their manners and dispositions, supine and indifferent, the most devoid of public spirit; at the same time that by their power and influence, they can bring about endless changes in the administration of governments. While ministers are changed, kings retain; but the instability of ministers produces instability in the principles of government; and this, by the bye, was one of the principal causes of the revolution of France.
The revolution in France has, in fact, taken place. Some of the members have separated themselves from the opposing confederacy, and others are about to follow their example. The neutral powers must at last give the law, and act as mediators between the contending parties.
It is impossible that the allies can have the advantage of two parties among the French, the one external the other internal. Two parties placed in such different situations, are divided in opinion, as there is no communication between them, and they cannot have the same views of the same objects: they are divided by pride and mutual contempt, as each thinks his own conduct the noblest and most justifiable; and mutual pride and contempt, lead to mutual hatred. There is a source of anticipatory and division between them in those mutual recriminations, which are the usual consequences of misfortune. In fine, they are divided from each other by mutual jealousies and apprehensions. But if these circumstances, which reason foresees, or might easily have been foreseen, have been confirmed by experience—if it now appears certain that these two parties of exterior and interior are incompatible, it is worth while to observe, how blind the foreign powers have been to their interest in giving their exclusive countenance to the exterior party, in granting them at the very commencement of the war, particular protection and confidence. The courts of Berlin, Vienna and London, saw in the courts of Versailles their friends, by whom on their travels, they have been so well entertained, and shared in their parties of pleasure. They might sympathise with their situation too, from an apprehension that they might, like them, be subject one day to the inconvenience arising from la dilapidation des finances . It was not possible, in short, to have two parties, and the confederates appear to have espoused the weakest. It is now found and humane policy to seek for a termination of the war as soon as possible. Give the French peace on reasonable terms. Either their constitution will turn out at last, after many painful experiments and deeds of horror, to be good, or to be bad; to minister to the comfort of the people, or to perpetuate their misery. If the former, will it be asserted, that we ought to mar and ruin the happiness of our neighbours? If the latter, there will be no need of preventing the contagion of imitation by the pressure of arms.
The French, in the midst of royal manifestoes, and military menaces from different quarters, very deliberately refer to the primary assemblies the election of two thirds of the national assembly.—This looks as if there were, in the interior parts of the kingdom, great unanimity.
SPAIN.
The peace between France and Spain is the natural consequence of the naval successes at Toulon, and in the Mediterranean, under Lord Hood. What is the use or end of a war, whose success is a disadvantage?
ITALY.
The States of Italy must now imitate the prudent conduct of the wise republic of Venice.
GERMANY.
It is uncertain, at the present moment, whether the French army, under General Pichegru, have crossed the Rhine, or whether he really wishes and means to pass it. There is throughout Germany a general wish and expectation of peace. But are the French to keep possession of the Netherlands, and the country between the Meuse and the Rhine? What signifies whether they do, or no, after the dismantlement of the barrier towns? It was on the occasion of that dismantlement that Great Britain should have interfered in the affairs of the continent.
TURKEY.
The French endeavour to excite, but the arm of Russia, and that of dearth approaching to famine, restrains their ardour.
RUSSIA
has at last assisted Britain with a very considerable squadron of ships. The Russian fleet alone is supposed to be equal to those of
SWEDEN and DENMARK
united. The Dutch republic have fitted out a squadron for bringing home their East-Indiamen; a considerable number of which have fallen into our hands.
THE BRITISH AFFAIRS AT SEA, under the genius of Lord Spencer, flourish greatly. We are now towards the conclusion of the war, just beginning to do what we should have done at its commencement; i. e. harass the French at sea, and menace the Seine and Paris. We have not a minister possessing genius to form those enlarged views in peace or war, those extensive arrangements and combinations which ensure success by supposing and comprehending them, and providing against those accidents by which they might be frustrated.
Philadelphia,
MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1795.
An Anglo-American presents his respects to the Welsh Clergyman that preached a few evenings since, and would advise him for the future, not to blend politics with religion. Your correspondent at a loss to know how the text which the Preacher took, could lead to a comparison of earthly governments with respect to their forms, and what connection it had with curling Dandies? and which way he could make it out, that in travelling 5000 miles in America, he saw only 5 beggars? Religion is one thing—Politics another. The pulpit is the place to warn men to repent of their sins and amend their lives; the senate-house or the coffee-house is the place for politics. This European, as well as the American Clergymen were always thought to be out of their line when attending to anything other than the cure of the souls of their parishioners or auditors. Make men good, and they will be steady friends to liberty, and supporters of good government.
In the Letter from Presqu'ille, published in Saturday's Gazette, for coast , read boat .
Mr. FENNO, Please to republish, from the Aurora, the two following modest and sagacious paragraphs:
It is hoped that the Representatives in both State and Federal Legislature will be early in their attendance at the next session. The choice of a Speaker will be the first act to be performed in both bodies, and the importance of a good choice must be obvious to every one. The Speaker nominates all Committees, and this power alone gives him an influence in many cases not to be resisted. An attempt will probably be made in the Federal House in opposition to the re-election of the late Speaker; and much may be feared on that ground if the Southern interest is not early represented; for it must have been observed that the Eastern members are generally very punctual in their attendance, and it must be expected that they will be particularly so at the approaching session, to carry if possible a Speaker of their own, at so important a crisis of the public affairs.
The revocation in council of the British king of the order for seizure of American vessels, laden with provisions, bound to France, is to be ascribed to the first determination which was made by the President of the United States not to ratify the Treaty with Great-Britain, until those orders were withdrawn, which determination was by order of the President made known to Hammond, the British minister, some time on or about the 23d of July, and that minister immediately wrote a letter to his Court to answer the same, which letter must have reached England about the 1st of September, and produced the effect that has been stated. That this effect could not have been produced by the President's after ratification of the Treaty on the 14th of August, is apparent, since Hammond, who carried it with him, did not sail from New-York until the 17th of August, and was in Halifax about the last of that month, so that there was not time for him to reach England by the 10th of September. The people of the United States must therefore not be disappointed or surprised to see those orders of seizure renewed by the British government, (agreeable to a modest proposition of Hammond himself, when here, to our government) as soon as the punillanious act of ratification shall be known to them.

LONDON, Sept. 9.
The Amsterdam and Leyden Gazettes of the 1st and 4th inst. contain an account of the loss of one of their frigates, the Alliance. They state, that the Dutch ships maintained an action for three hours with the English, who were very superior in numbers; that the Alliance did not strike her flag till she had lost all her masts, and that the other frigate and the cutter that were engaged with the English effected a retreat into the port of Kerhaven.
A telegraph is established between Port Patrick in Scotland, and Donghadec, in Ireland, and actual communications have been made across the channel by means of this wonderful instrument.
Sept. 11.
An order of council has been issued to all commanders of his majesty's cruisers; not to detain any more neutral vessels laden with provisions bound to the enemy's ports, which they meet with at sea.
A serious difference is reported to have lately taken place between Field Marshal Clairfayt and the Cabinet of Vienna; in consequence of which the former has sent in his resignation of the chief command of the army. The emperor, however, has not yet accepted of it.
Charette is reported to have left his camp at Bellevue, near Nantes, on account of the appearance of a numerous republican army.
The expences of the king of Sardinia for the present campaign amount to 34,471,000 Piedmont livres.
The war seems to be at a stand in Italy, though the dreadful note of preparation sounds louder than ever. Besides the armies of the Pyrenees on their march to Nice, 17,000 men had actually arrived there on the 25th ult. and were actually on their march towards the expected scene of action. Gen. de Victor is preparing to cover his retreat, by throwing up works near Savona and Vado. Immense magazines had been established by the French near Nice, where preparations were making for forming a bridge of timber for the passage of the army of the Pyrenees across the river Nercia.
The Empress of Russia has rewarded the literary labours of Professor Pallas with an extensive estate near Moscow.
A building of very curious and singular construction was put up yesterday at a timber yard near Westminster bridge, for the inspection of the Board of Ordnance. It consists of two stories, the lower is calculated for barracks for soldiers; the upper is a regular fort, capable of mounting six brass cannon, six pounders. Twenty four of them are built and now ready to be shipped in the river, for the island of St. Domingo. Workmen go out in the Corps of Artificers to erect them. They are built of seasoned oak. The model is deposited in the Armory of the Tower.
At the sale of Rams belonging to the late Charles Chaplin, Esq. of Tathwell, in the county of Lincoln, one of the capital sheep was purchased by a Mr. Walesby, at the enormous price of 174l. 6s. which is more than double the sum ever given for a ram at any auction before this. Others of the capital sheep were bid for to upwards of 150 guineas, and not disposed of. Several of the second rate sheep fetched near 60l. The above sums were paid into the auctioneer's hands, in the presence of the company assembled.
Sept. 15.
The committee of West India merchants and planters, upon whose solicitation the importation of sugar from the East Indies was discouraged some years since, are now urging ministers to prevent, or limit even the cultivation of sugar there, it being feared that American ships will bring produce to Europe, and underfill us in the markets, where we have hitherto had no rivals but the French.
County Meeting for Peace.
The following very interesting requisition has been addressed by several very respectable gentlemen of Monmouthshire:
To Richard Morgan, Esq. Sheriff of the County of Monmouth.
"SIR,
"The constitution of this country leaves it among the most sacred and important duties of Britons, to petition the crown or the legislature upon the pressure or apprehension of public calamities.
"War, while drenching the plains of the continent with human blood, has only menaced us, by one of its harbingers, famine; which, with all its horrid consequences, is only suspended by a harvest far from being plentiful. Its return seems inevitable by the continuance of military measures, which, be their principles what they may, have the peculiar character of producing every where the very evils they have professed to remedy.
"Our offices and situations enable us to discover the general sentiment or wish of the country, which seems grounded on a conviction of the absolute necessity of a speedy peace; and we think it our duty to request you, Sir, to convene the nobility, gentry, clergy, freeholders, and other inhabitants, on a very early day, to consider and propose
such an address to the throne, as may accord with that sentiment and wish.
"We trust our fortunes, our characters, and the habit and language of our lives, will place us on the one hand far above the calumnies of those who are enriched by human calamity; as we, on the other hand, abhor the officious co-operation of all those who seek confusion and anarchy under the mask of reform and patriotism.
"We are, Sir,
 "Your very humble servants,  "Thomas Lewis,  "Thomas Hooper,  "Richard Lewis,  "J. C. Hanbury,  "W. A. Williams,  "W. A. Williams, jun.  "William Morgan,  "William Vaughan. 
"In compliance of this requisition, I desire the nobility, gentry, clergy, freeholders and other inhabitants of the county of Monmouth, to meet at the town hall, in Uffk, on Thursday the 17th inst. at 12 o'clock.
"R. MORGAN, Sheriff.
"September 4, 1795."
NANTZ, September 9.
How happens it that those who have most violently declaimed against the Jacobin government, are at present the foremost in endeavouring to prolong the reign of anarchy by delaying the acceptance of the Constitution?
Those, who constantly ridicule the idea of a sovereign people recognize at last this sovereignty in order to ruin us. If those people are so desirous of a civil war let them come here to enjoy its blessings: they surround us on all sides.
No, perfidious friends of anarchy, you shall not succeed; the people will accept the Constitution, which alone can save them. If this work of man has, like its author, not yet attained the greatest possible perfection, we may correct its faults in calmer times; meanwhile we may live happier under its influence till the storms of the revolution are over. The acceptance of the Constitution will finally decide the fate of the enemies of the Republic; they know it, and ground all their hopes on the opposition which they endeavour to direct against the founders of the Republic. England waits only for the decision of the French people in this important affair. Yes, even this ferocious enemy of French prosperity is ready to sue for peace, as soon as the Constitution is accepted.
All the sections of this populous city, and the several military corps in garrison here, have already accepted the Constitution, and frustrated all the criminal projects of the disaffected.
The acceptance of the Constitution by the troops was announced yesterday morning by two discharges of artillery.
