LONDON, January 31.
LAW REPORT.
COURT OF KING'S BENCH,
February 7.
The King, v. the Earl of Abingdon.
[CONCLUDED.]
MR. GARROW made a very excellent speech on the same side. We are sorry we cannot, at present, for want of room, enter into a detail of it. He observed, among many other things, that although all the professions were not equal to the noble lord in point of rank and noble birth, yet he did not mean to surrender them, as if they did not possess as much integrity as the noble lord, or any noble lord in that house, of which he was a member. The noble lord had observed in his defence, that he had applied to many, but could find no advocate to give him legal assistance. He said he had been among the number; he had had the honour of being applied to, to be of counsel for the noble lord, but had declined it, having been previously retained by the prosecutor; but an application had also been made to a learned friend of his (Mr. Bearcroft) whom he could never mention without affection and esteem, and who possessed the most profound abilities and the greatest experience of any gentleman at the English bar. Why did Mr. Bearcroft refuse to undertake the defence of the Earl of Abingdon? Because it was impossible to do it either with benefit to the client, with dignity to the counsel, or consistently with the character of a gentleman.
Was the noble lord so ignorant of the laws and constitution of England as not to know if he could not find counsel, that the court would have assigned him counsel?
The noble lord seemed to envy the assistance that had been lately given to unfortunate men, in another place, who had been charged with a still more aggravated offence. He trusted, our happy constitution would always afford the same means of defence to men in the same situation, as long as it lasted; and he hoped it would continue to the latest ages. If it was not improper in that place, he would offer up a prayer to Providence, that he would be most graciously pleased to raise up, in every age, such men as his learned friends Mr. Erskine and Mr. Gibbs, that if any subjects of this country were unfortunately charged with such crimes, they might enjoy the benefit of their great abilities.
The learned counsel said, when he considered the load of guilt the noble lord had brought upon himself that day, he thought instead of stating facts in aggravation of punishment, they ought to take the noble lord under their protection, and solicit the court to pass a milder sentence than justice required.
Lord chief justice Kenyon. "To be sure nothing can be worse judged of than what has been exhibited to the court today. It is difficult to say, whether the wickedness or folly of it is the greatest. At present the defendant must be committed, and brought up the last day of the term to receive the judgment of the court."
February 12.
The King v. the Earl of Abingdon.
When the noble lord made his appearance in court, attended by his friends, Mr. Fitzwick, he addressed their Lordships as follows:
"My Lords,
"Having been, not for the first time, but always, so grossly libelled in the misrepresentations of the newspapers in what I have addressed to the Court, I have now committed my thoughts to paper, in order that if I am hereafter mis-represented or misquoted, your lordships may have an opportunity of seeing what I really said. For this paper (which his lordship held in his hand) I shall afterwards hand up to the bench for your lordships perusal."
"My Lords,
"If I have in the course of this trial been guilty of any irregularity, or transgressed against the known laws of the land, in any shape, I trust the Court will think I have done so for the reason I have given, that I acted without any legal advice. I felt myself injured, and as such I spoke and complained."
His Lordship then turned his back upon the Court, and addressed the bar. As we heard his lordship rather indistinctly, and as we should be extremely sorry to misrepresent him, we do not affect to give the eadem verba , but only the substance of what he said.
He denied that he meant to cast the least reflection on the Profession, as a Profession. He disclaimed the idea of it. He venerated the Law. He venerated its judgements. And as to the Profession, he had the highest respect for it.
With regard to himself, he had been illiberally calumniated, but he had this satisfaction, that it was without any reason. What he had said, he had put upon paper, and only meant to contrast the violence of others with that of his own, and to point out the difference of the support they had received, without reflecting on those who had given that support. He had only stated his opinion as to a speculative point.
Notwithstanding the manner in which Mr. Fitzwick had been treated, he was conscious of having discharged his duty without intending the least offence to any man.
His lordship here handed up to the Court the written paper from which he spoke.
Mr. Fitzwick next addressed the Court in a very low tone of voice. What we collected was, that he had been informed he was perfectly right in making the affi-
davut; that he did not mean to give the least offence; but, on the contrary, that he had discharged his duty to his lordship and the public.
Lord Chief Justice Kenyon. "The affidavit was certainly improper, and if legal advice had been called in, it would not have been filed."
SENTECE OF THE COURT.
"Willoughby Earl of Abingdon,
"You have been convicted of an Information filed against you for printing and publishing a libel, highly reflecting on the character of Thomas Sermon, Gentleman.
"I shall not recapitulate the particulars of this libel: it was detailed more at large when your Lordship was last in Court. It is sufficient in general to say, that it certainly highly calumniates Mr. Sermon in his professional character as an attorney and solicitor. This is considered in the eye of the law as offence of a very serious nature. Every man, and especially those whose livelihood depends upon their character, have a right to the protection of the law, and ought to be defended against the shafts of calumny; and in this respect the law knows no difference between the peer and the peasant. It would be highly criminal in those who presided in Courts of justice if they were capable of making any discrimination.
"It was a wise provision in the law to make this an indictable offence for the sake of preserving the public peace of the kingdom. The party, whose character is so reflected upon, may be naturally supposed to be a little irritable; and were it not that the law is ready to step in for the defence of every man, whose character has been injuriously attacked, the party injured would otherwise be apt to take vengeance into his own hand, which would lead to frequent breaches of the peace, and disturb the order of society.
"This crime is likewise as unmeaning as it is unjust, for it cannot possibly be attended with any good effects either to society in general or to the party publishing the libel. If any man has injured you, the law is open. The law will give you redress; and if you bring a bad man to punishment, you do a meritorious act to society. For crimes ought not to go unpunished, and the end of punishment is to reform others. But a publication in a news paper can never be attended with any good effects, though it may be attended with very bad ones, and which it is the intention of the law to prevent.
"The calumny in this libel, one is sorry to say, has been circulated with a great degree of industry. We endeavoured (as far as we could with propriety do it), to intimate to your Lordship, if you were inclined to make an apology, it would not have been unbecoming you. It were much to be wished, that those who have been your advisers had shown as much friendship for your Lordship in this instance, and as much care for your interests, as we have done. But I am sorry to say, if they call themselves your friends, who persuaded you to make the affidavit which was read the last time you were in Court, it was the most ill-judged advice that could possibly have been given you, for it was a direct repetition of the slander contained now in the libel before us, and an insult on the justice of this Court, such as precludes all power in the Court to pass a lenient judgment—The honor and dignity of Justice must be supported, and those who are entrusted with the administration of the laws must shew, that they are no respecters of persons.
"The court has taken all circumstances into consideration, and this Court doth order and adjudge, that you do pay a fine to the King of 100l. that you be imprisoned in his Majesty's gaol of the King's Bench for three calendar months, and that you find security for your good behavior for one year, yourself in 100l. and your two sureties in 100l. each, and that you be imprisoned till such fine is paid, and such sureties found as aforesaid."
The following article appears to be part of a speech delivered in the French Convention:—Who the speaker was we are not informed—His remarks, however, merit attention, as they contain sentiments which the state of things in that country, however free they may have been represented, did not admit of being uttered, at least in the Convention. It has long been the opinion of the wisest and best patriots, that a revolution of opinions and conduct, similar to that recommended either explicitly or impliedly in this speech, must precede the establishment of a free government in France. The principles which the speaker combats have endangered the cause of freedom in that country—they must forever prevent the establishment of a free government so long as they prevail—and if introduced into a country already free, they would subvert liberty to the foundation.
Extract from a PARIS JOURNAL.
Translated for the Aurora.
THE object, said the speaker, which appears to demand the attention of the National Convention, is the precise determination of the principles which are to direct our exterior political conduct; we must at last meet this question, "On what terms can France grant peace to Europe?"
Already have the factions, or the ty-
ranny of which the Convention has been the sport, thrice changed their ground on one of the principal points of this subject; and this evinces the necessity of fixing at length the first ideas by a thorough and mature discussion, which is the sole means of giving stability to decisions, and the only solemnity by which they can be guaranteed.
Their first principle, that the French nation must not make any conquests, was laid down at the time Brunswick was at our gates.
Shortly after, ciate with our successes in Savoy, Belgium and the Palatinate, factions made Europe resound with these words: "The French republic can suffer only republics around it." It soon added: "All Europe must be blended in the French republic become universal."
The aspect of our affairs was for a moment clouded, and the Convention declared, that the French nation disclaimed all interference in foreign governments.
New successes once more proclaimed, at least in the speeches of the tyrants, then more solemn and more sacred than decrees, that France would not lay down her arms till she should see the fall of all thrones and the destruction of all kings.
After such variations, it is necessary that the Convention declare at length the National Will, after a solemn discussion, to evince that the National Representation is the faithful interpreter thereof.
The last proclamations made on this subject throughout Europe, are from Robespierre or his heralds. Doth it not behove the republic, now regenerated, whatever be her views, to manifest them in her own name? Doth the republic adopt the opinions of the tyrant? Ought she not, if I may use the expression, to divest herself of her seal, and strip them of her livery? Is it not incumbent on her to discriminate in the eyes of all nations, and of our enemies, her present from her antecedent existence; and to mark her return to liberty after so many evils that marked her depredations?
Is it not expedient to make known to those foreign powers which were accustomed to say, such is the will of Robespierre, that the republic has also a will, a will inviolable and inexorable, because founded on justice and reason?
And whilst the inclosure destined for the representation of the republic was nothing but a saloon of the royalty of Robespierre; whilst the tribune inaccessible to the faithful deputies, served merely for a throne to the tyrant, a pulpit to his ministers, or a stage to the co-operations of his jugglery; with what language unworthy of the French arms, with what expressions still more gross and disgusting than inept and gigantic was the national will in the present war dictoned on? Will the Convention avow these proceedings by their silence? Will they not rather raise their dignity to the height of their power and their principles? Will the Convention neglect to reduce our enemies to the double humiliation of admiring the grandeur of the national representation, while they shrink before our victorious arms?
In fact, is it not necessary to elucidate so important a matter; and in order to elucidation, must it not be solemnly discussed in presence of the people? Does it not belong to the people alone to make known what price they expect for their immense sacrifices? And hath not the public opinion a right to set forth its will in the deliberation which so intimately concerns the national welfare?
Is not a solemn deliberation necessary in order to announce to the foreign powers and to domestic intriguers, that peace shall not be the equivocal result of a clandestine negotiation, or some plot begotten in darkness?
While this question shall be in agitation, those who flood in need of war, to have a pretext for spreading terror; those who dictated conquests abroad, only to acquire the right of rendering themselves more and more terrible at home, all such, I say, will cry out against every mention of peace.
With them, the Convention cannot turn their thoughts to such a subject without basely committing the honour of the republic; no patriot can prepare the basis of peace without manifest reason; for such persons the public treasure will never be sufficiently exhausted; the armies at a sufficient distance; the wants of the arts, commerce and agriculture, sufficiently urged; sufferings of children, wives and mothers, will never have power to move them; for such persons there cannot be enough widows and orphans! Were the discussion to be productive of no other advantage but that of holding up those odious hypotheses to public view, in my opinion
the Convention would have cause to rejoice in it.
What, is it not time to think of peace, when seated on laurels, and surrounded by a long chain of triumphant armies, independent at home and masters abroad, we behold French liberty not only secured but avenged; our enemies not only vanquished but ruined; the foreign armies not only dispersed, but perishing, and ourselves alone able to give peace to the world, while the whole world cannot force us to accept it?
Is it not time to deliberate on peace when in the midst of our successes we have to apprehend a heinous treason! That of our very successes, which drawing our armies to a great distance, may make them rush into the jaws of despotism; which dispersing them on an immense surface and enlarging their circle, weaken them in level and open countries, where their valor must be their sole defence.
It would ill become the Convention to wait the moment of the possible conclusion of peace, to fix the principles on which it may be proper to found it. We must not expose ourselves to the necessity of suspending negotiation thro' the uncertainty of the rules to be followed. It behoves us to facilitate the attainment of peace for the period of possible pacification, and to secure the enjoyment of it for the precise moment when there will be no farther obstacle to our tasting its sweets. Every unnecessary delay, the least procrastination, is so much robbed from the public happiness; is there a deputy who would not think it a crime to retard for a day, a single day, beyond the national necessity, the return of our defenders to the bosom of their families? They are called home not only by their families, their friends, their affairs, our workshops and our fields, but even by the interest of public morals.
We stand no less in need of their morals in peace, than we have done of their arms in war. To them it belongs to establish amongst us the habits of frugality, patience, liberty, equality and fraternity. It is perhaps a matter of urgent necessity, to place us in the midst of such exemplary models of republican virtues.
Among the questions which this discussion must involve, there is one which the people are impatient to hear decided; I mean that on which the factious and the tyrants have delivered their sentiments with so many variations.
Is it true that general liberty is absolutely necessary to our own? That we are not in as much security amongst people cramped with servitude, as in the midst of insipid republics of reflexes and turbulent vigour? Is it true that republics are destined to be ever in amity? That there are never any wars between nation and nation, as between king and king, or king and nation? Were the republics of Greece always united? Did ever any harmony subsist between Rome and Carthage or between Greece and Rome?
Did the Romans find more facility in reducing Carthage than Mithridates, or in subduing Greece than the rest of Europe? I wish to see these questions elucidated.
I will next ask whether it be by the terror of arms or by the blandishment of amicable intercourse, by peace or by war, that universal liberty can possibly be established? Is it from the mouth of a cannon that trembling slaves will learn what is liberty, or will the flames of their blazing habitations make them become enamoured of fraternity? I will ask whether to offer to slaves the head of their king, which they would have offered to you had they wished to see it off, be very effectually to destroy royalty; whether to stain with blood a throne which weighs heavy on their shoulders be a sure way to annihilate it; in a word whether it be not within the reach of possibility than on your saying to these degenerate men "we make you free" they may reply "well, by virtue of our liberty, we again constitute ourselves slaves?"
Is it an erroneous belief that for a people to be free it is absolutely necessary that they desire to be so? And farther, that it is not sufficient that they desire to be free, whatever La Fayette may have said on this subject, but that they must have desired it long previously, and moreover that they must know how to be free.
Doth not liberty require to be organized as well as slavery? Doth it not require the guarantee of a republican government? Now is not the art of organizing liberty very novel and very difficult, whilst that of organizing slavery is so easy, so well known and so much cultivated? I can hardly think that our artillery will teach the nations it strikes with dismay the art of guarding against the slaves of crushed and disguised despotism, and that of founding republics; and would it become us to suppose that republics are instituted without preparation, knowledge and precaution?
The discussion may possibly teach us that the true means of establishing universal liberty is to attend exclusively to our
* Compare this with the following sentiments delivered at the Altar of the Goddess of Liberty last week—Mr. Faubet Jey:—The alliances among free people resemble the friendship which exists among virtuous men, in which they do not suffer the wicked to partake: May free people thus never receive in the number of allies despots who declare and wage war on those nations that struggle to break their fetters.
own to strengthen it, to render it venerable and dear to all hearts, to exhibit it surrounded with a retinue of all the virtues and happy votaries.
Our commercial intercourse, the allurements of our climate, the elegance or our manners, the splendor of our arts, the pre-eminence of our sciences, the grandeur of our dramatic and musical productions, the interest of our public papers, and of the fine moral and political works which will arise from the liberty of the press, so aptly styled the terror of all tyrants; all these auxiliaries of our political liberty will be able to diffuse its principles to the remotest parts.—Should it not seem that a people capable of enlightening all other nations, has sufficient influence over them to be their tutor?
When North America had obtained liberty by conquest, did she send into France, then in bondage, her battalions and her heroes, her cannons and her Washington, to convert us by force to liberty? No—she sent us the peaceful Franklin, and that sage by his habitual communications with some men of talents, contributed more to our emancipation from his modest dwelling in Paris, than all the batteries and armies of the Congress would have served to obstruct it.
And how did Franklin triumph over the thunder itself? Did he seize the heavens and fulminate the lightning? No—he attracted it; as he it were obtained it by stealth and made it his own.
Such should be our conduct towards foreign despots; we must steal from them their power, annihilate it in their hands, and they will quickly disappear.
Let us have Franklin to send to them, let our great men revive from the ashes of those smitten by our last tyrants; let us call forth men by the liberty of writings, and writings by the liberty of men; with such leaders we shall make despotism fall from the hands of the tyrants.
You yourselves, representatives of the people, can from this hall accelerate and perhaps effect the grand revolution of the human race, and you can do it by the very act which will give peace to a part of Europe; notwithstanding your errors, you must still be the first national assembly of all ages and of all countries.
You will be the first to raise so numerous a people from a state so abject to so much splendor; to diffuse a vigorous sap and an energetic life thro' so large a mass of people so thoroughly vitiated by ancient institutions; to make a free people with so many elements of servitude, a people of brothers with so many elements of public and private discord; a people of heroes with so many dastardly and venal habits.
It remains for you only to crown your labours by the great act of civism which France expects at your hands; secure your work and your glory is at its height. If you seize this moment when every thing links beneath our arms to fix your renown and dazzle all eyes with its splendor, it will be a blessing to humanity as well as your merited reward; it will be the mirror of Archimedes, which from the port of liberty will be able to reduce to ashes the fleets that will dare to menace it.
EARL STANHOPE'S PROTEST.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
January 6, 1795.
THE order of the day being read, Earl Stanhope moved.
Resolved, that this country ought not, and will not interfere in the internal affairs of France; and that it is expedient, explicitly to declare the same.
A debate ensued, and it was moved, "that this House do now adjourn," which being objected to, after a further debate, the same was resolved in the affirmative.
On Friday last the noble Earl entered the following
PROTEST.
Dissentient. 1st. Because the motion made for the house to adjourn, was professedly intended to get rid of the following resolution, viz, Resolved, &c. see above.
2dly. Because I hold, that it is contrary to equity and justice for any foreign country to interfere in the internal affairs or constitution of the French Republic, or any other independent nation.
3dly. Because the government of G. Britain, (not having been elected by the citizens of France), can have no more right to give to France a monarchical, aristocratical, or other form of government whatever, than the crowned despot of Prussia and Russia, had to overturn the constitution of, now unhappy Poland.
4thly. Because I highly disapprove and reprobate the doctrine, advanced, by ministers in the debate; namely, "that to restore the ancient and hereditary monarchy of France, no expence should be spared." And I reprobate that pernicious and uncivic doctrine the more strongly from its not having been suddenly, hastily, or inconsiderately started; but, from its having been taken up (as it was solemnly declared) upon the utmost deliberation.
5thly. Because I deem it to be an injustice committed by ministers, towards my fellow citizens, to adopt a principle which shall render it necessary for the government of Great Britain to lay further heavy burthens upon the people; and to tax their houses, their windows, their beer, their candles, their shoes, and many other conveniences and necessaries of life, in order to provide a fund, to attempt the accomplishment of such a wicked purpose as aforesaid.
6thly. Because the proposed resolution, above stated, was intended by me as a "solemn pledge," that the government of this nation would not interfere in the internal affairs of France; but the refusal of the house to give such a pledge, renders

to shut the door to peace; and consequently to the ruin of this manufacturing, commercial, and once happy country: particularly considering the increased, and rapidly increasing strength of the navy of the French Republic: independently of the prospect there is of their having the navies of Holland and Spain under their immediate influence.
7thly, Because the public funds, the paper currency, and the public and private credit of this country, will probably be unequal to stand against the tremendous shock to which the ministers will expose them.
8thly, Because I think that, frankness, honesty, and justice, are always in the end the best policy. And I believe it to be true in regard to nations (as well as with respect to individuals) that, "nothing that is not just can be wise, or ultimately prosperous."
9thly, Because I lament the more, that the hour should refuse to disclaim the interfering in the internal constitution of France, in as much, as by the new constitution of the French Republic one and indivisible, adopted by the present National Convention, on the 23d of June in the year 1793, and under the title of "the relation of the French Republic with foreign nations," and by the articles 18th and 19th of that constitution, it is declared and enacted
"That the French people, is the friend and natural ally, of every free nation. It does not interfere with the government of other nations. It does not suffer that other nations should interfere with its own."
So frank, so fair, and so explicit a declaration on their part, did, in my opinion, entitle them to a better species of return.
10thly, Because I conceive that a true Republican form of Government, being firmly established in France, is much more safe to the liberties of the people of Great Britain, than the tyrannical, capricious, perfidious, secret, intriguing, and restless ancient monarchy of France, or than any other monarchy they could there establish: but, even if I were of a direct opposite way of thinking, I would not be guilty of the gross injustice of attempting to force a monarchy upon them contrary to their inclination.
11th, Because I think that no war ought to be continued, that can by a proper line of moderation be avoided; and the more especially with respect to the French people, who, by their Republican exertions Republican enthusiasm & Republican courage, have made victory the order of the day."
12th, Because the continuance of such a bloody contest without necessity, appears to be a prophane tempting of divine providence, in whose benign and almighty hands, the fate of battles, and of empires is placed.
13th, Because I wish to wash my hands entirely of the innocent blood that may be shed in this war with France of all the carnage which may take place; and of all the destruction, confusion and devastation (perhaps in Great Britain itself) which may ensue.
14th, Because it was my object to preclude the government of Great Britain, from attempting to stir up or excite insurrections in la Vendee, or any other department of the French Republic; and the resolution I moved was well calculated for that purpose.—And 15th, Because the maxim of "do not to others that which you would not with done to yourself," is an unerring rule, founded upon the clear principle of justice; that is to say, of equality of rights.—It is upon this strong and solid ground that I make my stand. And all public men, in order to merit the confidence of the British People, must follow their determination to act with frankness and unequivocal good faith, and justice towards the French Republic.
Having upon this most important and momentous subject, frequently stood alone, and having also been, upon this last occasion, totally unsupported in the division, if I should therefore cease, at present to attend this house, (where I have been placed by the mere accident of birth) such of my fellow citizens as are friends to freedom, and who may chance to read this my solemn protest, will find that I have not altered my sentiments or opinion; and that I have not changed any of my principles, for my principles can never be changed. And those fellow citizens will also find, that I hereby pledge myself, to my country, that I shall continue what I ever have been, a zealous, and unshaken friend to peace, to justice, and to liberty, political, civil, and religious: and that I am determined to die (as I have lived) a firm and steady supporter of the unalienable rights, and of the happiness of mankind.

THE subscriber presents his most sincere and hearty acknowledgements to the Freemen who have, in the late election, manifested their desire that he should represent this District in the ensuing Congress. He also returns his warmest thanks to the Freemen of the
towns of Hancock and Kingston, for their kind intentions in his favor, and their assurances thereof.
He informs the public, that he is possessed of authentic testimony, to prove that the warrants for holding meetings on the second Tuesday in February last, in Kingston and Hancock, (two towns who have held meetings in all the former congressional elections) have been withheld, by which means, a much greater number of freemen than Mr. Smith's majority of twenty-one, have been debarred of their suffrages which they have made oath would have been added to the number given for Matthew Lyon. The 1783 freemen, who gave their votes for me, as well as the Freemen of neglected towns, would have reason to consider me deficient, both in point of duty, and respect to them, should I tacitly suffer such high handed corruption as the cajoling the freemen of whole towns, out of their suffrages, to take place.
As Moralists we say, "the Lord reigneth," As Republicans we say, "the majority governeth." "Let the earth rejoice."
When we are the minority, it is our duty cheerfully to submit; when otherwise to shew it fairly, and thoroughly to exhibit the circumstances relative to the above mentioned transaction to the proper board, will be the business of the public's
humble servant M. LYON.

Says a Correspondent.
When the current of intelligence subsides a little, I generally have recourse to other modes of amusement besides the publications of the day, and having observed an advertisement in the Aurora, of a Rub from Snub upon Peter Porcupine. I have long anticipated most exquisite satisfaction from a perusal of this long promised production, but I afraid either Snub or his printer, only intend to excite and not to satisfy the curiosity of the public. He is perhaps troubled with the cholick, or more probably a mental sterility, and I observe the Editor of the Aurora assigns his advertisement a place in the bottom of one of his columns, which seems emblematic of his having converted him into one of his shoe blacks. But these surmises may perhaps offend Mr. Snub, the redoubtable antagonist of Mr. Wilcocks, & therefore we had better be silent till the brewings of his brains are uttered forth to public notice, when we shall perhaps see the wonders of a new creation unfolded to view.
N. B. I write this merely to jog the memory of Mr. Snub, because I am strangely impatient!!
Translated from the Courier Francaise . NATIONAL CONVENTION. 7 Pluviôse.
It appears that France is fully convinced of the machiavilian system of the English government—for Clausel, in the name of the Committee of public safety, and general security while giving an account of what was passing in the middle departments, expressed himself thus,
"It is evident that the terrorists have not renounced their culpable system of disorganization, and that they yet intend to sell France to the Tyrant of England. Hear the declaration of Pitt to the English parliament.—"Great Britain being a Commercial State, I have thought myself obliged by all possible means to exterminate the commerce of France—in scattering among them all the destructive seeds of sedition, anarchy, disorder and famine. I am convinced that I have been fully seconded by the party in France which is denominated the excellent patrician party , and who will be united in five months to destroy and disorganize every thing."—By what influence has this villain of an English minister had the impudence to declare with emphasis the active part he has taken in the crimes & judicial assassinations committed throughout France by the infamous Robespierre and his accomplices?
A most lively discussion was raised on the proposition for printing the discourse of Clausel. Dumont sought to avoid mentioning the name of Pitt. He opposed printing the report, and observed that it had not been communicated to the two committees.
Bentabolle supported it, and in giving his opinion the words bonnettes gens which he had introduced, excited murmurs from one side of the hall. Duhem caught at the phrase & said—It was the term used by La Fayette.—Bentabolle replied, of what importance is it to me that Fayette should have used it, he employed also the word Liberty. It is only knaves who will not range themselves in the class of honest men—at length the printing of Clausel's report was decreed.
SAYS A CORRESPONDENT
The votaries of faction and discord, alias party spirit, have found their cause deep in the minority—particularly in the Legislature of this Commonwealth—this fact they have penetration enough to discover. They realize also that their cause must be unpopular with the people; but by a strange kind of logic, (with which, however, they deceive only themselves) that Legislature whose most arduous, thos' successful labours, have been to curb and repress a party spirit, is denounced in the Aurora, as its most faithful votaries. Such is the consistency of these inveterate party spirits, who cry up the majesty of the people,
While all their noise, when facts are known, Bout public good—means but their own.
To Citizen LAVEAUX, Governor General and Commander in Chief of the Armies of the French Republic, in the Island of St. Domingo, The Memorial of Citizen Joshua M'Williams, comma der of the American sloop Martha, now lying in the harbour of Port-de-paix,
Most humbly sheweth,
THAT your memorialist arrived here on Monday, the 23d inst. from Fredericksburgh, in Virginia, with a cargo consisting of flour and Indian corn, being chartered by a citizen of the United States residing in Philadelphia.
That your memorialist's charter obliges him to bring the returns of his cargo home with him, and finding no possibility of obtaining payment from the Administration in less than five or six months, wishes for liberty to depart this port with his present cargo on board, unless citizen Laveaux would point out some mode of present payment—That your memorialist has no kind of objection to dispose of his cargo to the Agents of the Republic, provided he could receive his payment in any reasonable time; but there being so many vessels before him, and so large demands from Administration, before he can expect any payment, is obliged, in justice to himself, to state those facts to citizen Laveaux, showing that his vessel is chartered for the completion of a voyage, and he is bound, by charter, to leave none of his property behind in the West Indies; and should your memorialist depart without the payment, he is in the fullest degree, culpable to his charterer, and would be obliged to make payment himself—as also, should he remain the length of time before recited for his payment, the expenses of his vessel being to great, would totally ruin him. In either of the above cases your memorialist must be much damaged; and he having a large family to maintain, thinks himself in duty bound to implore the assistance of citizen Laveaux, to extricate him from his present difficulties.
Your memorialist is informed the Republic is not in want of his Cargo at present, and therefore thinks it extremely hard to be detained, which will tend to the destruction of his voyage—he therefore prays you will take his peculiar case into serious consideration, and grant him such relief and assistance as shall to you appear proper, and as he is in duty bound, he will ever pray.

And the Resident Physician, Consulting Physician, Health-Officer, and inspectors of the Health-Office of the Port of Philadelphia, and all
other persons who, in any wise entrusted with the execution of the laws for preventing the introduction of pestilential or contagious diseases into this Commonwealth, are required and enjoined to be attentive and vigilant in discharging the duties of their respective stations, and more especially in carrying this Proclamation into effect.

MR. FENNO,
WHETHER we may gain any elucidation from a curious analysis of Snub , on the works of Peter Porcupine, I can form but a poor conception; but were I a democrat, I should consider that advocate but a pitiful scoundrel, who would issue a performance under so ignominious a title as " A Rub from Snub ." I am positively of the opinion, his co-essential Printer, Mr. B. (from whom Snub first received his supreme prepotency ) by the aid of a cogent well-appropriated delinquium , has been brought to a rational mode of thinking; and I have little doubt but Snub, who has already been favoured with a small quantum of attic salt , will very shortly be brought to his proper reason, more especially if his " anticipated " WORK equal the specimen by which he has characterized himself.
In the writings of Mr. Porcupine we have wit, learning, and a keenness of discernment that is seldom acquired but by intuitive experience and intense study. As a critic, though somewhat severe, he is just. But what shall we say of Snub? perhaps the following lines will be most applicable:
"Qualem commendas etiam atque etiam inspicie, ne max Incutient aliena tibi peccata pudorem." CAUTION.

FOR SALE, Between nine and ten Thousand Acres of LAND,
Situate in the county of Frederick, and state of Virginia, being the greater part of Greenway Court Manor. Part of this tract lies on the river Shenandoah, between thirty and forty miles above its junction with the Potomack. The Shenandoah is capable of being rendered navigable, and the navigation of the Potomack is in a fair way of being completed to tide water which circumstances offer in a few years a water carriage to the flourishing towns of Georgetown and Alexandria, and to the City of Washington; from all which places the said tract is distant between seventy and eighty miles by land. The flourishing Borough of Winchester is only twelve or fourteen miles from it.
Between three and four thousands acres of the land are leased generally for terms not exceeding twenty one years and many of the terms have only three years to run. The remaining quantity being near six thousand acres, consists of the most valuable part of the tract being extremely rich limestone land, similar in quality to the very fertile country in Lancaster and York counties of this state, and in Frederick county of Maryland. An indispitable title will be made to the purchaser.
This tract being situated in a most healthy and fertile country, offers a most advantageous investment of money; as no part of America can exhibit a more rapid settlement and improvement, and consequently a more rapid increase in the value of real estate.
It would be particularly advantageous to a company of settlers as the part not leased, admits of being divided into farms of any size to suit the convenience of the parties concerned.
One half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining half at easy instalments with interest. Further particulars are deemed unnecessary as it is probable the land will be viewed, by any person disposed to buy before he purchases.
The price for the whole tract may be known on application to the hon. Thomas Hartley, Esq. at Yorktown, to the hon. John Wilkes Kittera, Esq. at the town of Lancaster, in this state, to Charles Lee, Esq. at Alexandria in the state of Virginia, or to the Subscriber, at No. 29, north Second street in this city, who will treat with any person or persons disposed to purchase till the fifth centh day of June next.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus 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 appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. 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 selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

Extrait from the Preface.
"Whilst the inhabitants of Europe are distracted by the din of arms, and their principal employment is to contrive the most expeditious means of destroying one another; let the happy citizens of these infant states turn their attention to the useful and elegant arts of peace; let them avail themselves of the discoveries of other ancient nations in the happier way that are past, until we no longer stand in need of their supplies, or remain exposed to the fluctuations of their fortune."
