ROBERT EMMETT.
We sometime since signified that we had received from a friend in Ireland, an authentic copy of the address of Robert Emmett to Lord Norbury one of the judges before whom he was tried for treason. It appears that the government had taken the perfidious pains to prevent the publication of Mr. Emmett's real speech and tortured the sentiments of their victim, into meanings and assertions the most remote from his character and his wishes. The real speech has been sent to America by a friend, "as the only country in which the virtuous living can find a refuge, or truth find a certain passage to posterity through a free press." —Aurora.
MY LORDS,
What have I to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced on me, according to law? I have nothing to say that can alter your pre-determinations nor that it will be come to me to say with any view to the mitigation of that sentence which you are here to pronounce and I must abide by. But I have that to say which interests me more than life, and which you have laboured, (as was necessarily your office in the present circumstances of this oppressed country) to destroy. I have much to say why my reputation should be rescued from the load of false accusation and calumny which have been heaped upon it. I do not imagine, that seated where you are, your minds can be so free from impurity, as to receive the least impression from what I am going to utter—I have no hopes that I can anchor my character in the breast of a court constituted and trammeled as this is—I only wish, and it is the utmost I expect, that your lordships may suffer it to float down your memories untainted by the foul breath of prejudice, until it finds some more hospitable harbour to shelter it from the storm by which it is at present buffeted. . . . Was I only to suffer death, after being adjudged guilty by your tribunal—I should bow in silence, and meet the fate that awaits me without a murmur—but the sentence of the law which delivers my body to the executioner, will thro' the ministry of that law, labor in its vindication, to consign my character to obloquy—for there must be guilt somewhere; where in the sentence of the court or in the catastrophe, posterity must determine. A man in my situation, my lords, has not only to encounter the difficulties of fortune, and the force of power over minds which it has corrupted or subjugated, but the difficulties of established prejudice:—the man dies, but his memory lives: that mine may not perish, that it may live in the respect of my countrymen, I seize upon this opportunity to vindicate myself from some of the charges alleged against me. When my spirit shall be wafted to a more friendly port; when my shade shall have joined the bands of those martyred heroes who have shed their blood on the scaffold and in the field, in defence of their country and of virtue, this is my hope, I wish that my memory and name may animate those who survive me, while I look down with complacency on the destruction of that perfidious government, which upholds its domination by blasphemy of the most high—which displays its power over men as over the beasts of the forest—which sets man upon his brother, and lifts his hand in the name of God against the throat of his fellow who believes or doubts a little more or a little less than the government standard—a government teeming to barbarity by the cries of the orphans and the tears of the widows which it has made. . . . (Here lord Norbury interrupted Mr. Emmett, saying, that the mean and wicked en bas as who felt as he did, were not equal to the accomplishment of their wild designs)
. . . I appeal to the immaculate God—I swear by the throne of Heaven, before which I must shortly appear—by the blood of the murdered patriots who have gone before me—that my conduct has been thro' all this peril and through all my purposes, governed only by the convictions which I have uttered, and by no other view, than that of their cure, & the emancipation of my country from the inhuman oppression under which she has so long and too patiently travailed; and that I confidently and assuredly hope that wild and chimerical as it may appear, there is still union and strength in Ireland to accomplish this noblest enterprize—of this I speak with the confidence of intimate knowledge, and with the conviction that appertains to that con-
science. Think not my Lord, I say this for the petty gratification of giving you a transitory uneasiness; a man who never yet raised his voice to assert a lie, will not hazard his character with posterity by asserting a falsehood on a subject so important to his country, and on an occasion like this. Yes my Lords, a man who does not wish to have his epitaph written, until his country is liberated will not leave a weapon in the power of envy to impeach the probity which he means to preserve even in the grave to which tyranny consigns him. (Here he was again interrupted by the court.)
Again I say, that what I have spoken, was not intended for your lordship, whose situation I comprehend rather than envy—my expressions were for my countrymen; if there is a true Irishman present, let my last words cheer him in the hour of his affliction.
[He was again interrupted, lord Norbury said he did not sit there to bear treason.]
I have always understood it to be the duty of a judge, when a prisoner has been convicted, to pronounce the sentence of the law; I have also understood that judges sometimes think it their duty to hear with patience, and to speak with humanity, to exhort the victim of the laws; and to offer with tender benignity his opinions of the motives by which he was actuated in the crime, of which he had been found guilty: that a judge has thought it his duty to have done, I have no doubt—but where is the boasted freedom of your institutions, where is the vaunted impartiality, clemency, and mildness of your courts of justice; if an unfortunate prisoner whom your policy and not justice, is about to deliver into the hands of the executioner, is not suffered to explain his motives sincerely and truly, and to vindicate the principles by which he was actuated.
My Lords, it may be a part of the system of angry justice, to know a man's mind by humiliation to the purposed ignominy of the scaffold; but worse to me than the purposed shame or the scaffold's terrors would be the same endurance charges and imputations laid against me in this court: you my lord are a judge, I am the supposed culprit; I am a man, you are a man also; by a revolution of power, we might change places—tho' we could never change characters; if I stand at the bar of this court, and dare not vindicate my character, what a farce is your justice! if I stand at this bar and dare not vindicate my character, how dare you calumniate it? Does the sentence of death which your policy inflicts on my body, also condemn my tongue to silence and my reputation to reproach; your executioner may abridge the period of my existence, but while I exist, I shall not cease to vindicate my character and motives from your aspersions, and as a man to whom fame is dearer than life, I will make the last use of that life in doing justice to that reputation which is to live after me, and which is the only legacy I can leave to those I honor and love, and for whom I am proud to perish. As men, my lord we must appear on the great day at one common tribunal and it will then remain for the searcher of all hearts to shew a collective universe who was engaged in the most virtuous actions, or attached by the purest motives.
[Here he was interrupted and told to listen to the sentence of the law.]
My Lord, will a dying man be denied the legal privileges of exculpating himself in the eyes of the community of an undeserved reproach thrown upon him with ambition, and attempting to cast away for a paltry consideration the liberties of his country! Why did your lordship insult me? or rather why insult justice, in demanding of me why sentence of death should not be pronounced? I know my Lord that form prescribes that you should ask the question, the form also presumes the right of answering! This no doubt may be dispensed with—and so might, the whole ceremony of the trial, since sentence was already pronounced at the castle before your jury was impaneled; your lordships are but the priests of the oracle, & I submit; but I insist on the whole of the forms.
[Here the court desired him to proceed]
I am charged with being an emissary of France? An emissary of France! And for what end? It is alleged that I wished to tell the secreted for my murder, that I am accountable for all the blood that has been and will be shed in this struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor, shall you tell me this—and must I be so very a slave as not to repel it?
am no emissary—and my ambition was to hold a place among the deliverers of my country, not in power nor in profit, but in the glory of the achievement? Sell my country's independence to France! And for what? Was it for a change of masters? No! But for ambition! O my country, was it personal ambition that could influence me, had it been the foul of my actions, could I not by my education and fortune, by the rank and consideration of my family have placed myself amongst the proudest of my oppressors? My country was my idol; to it I sacrificed every selfish, every endearing sentiment: and for it I now offer up my life. O God! No, my Lord, I acted as an Irishman determined on delivering my country from the yoke of a foreign and unrelenting tyranny, and from the more galling yoke of a domestic faction which it is joint partner and perpetrator in the patricide for the ignominy of existing with an exterior of splendor and a conscious depravity. It was the will of my heart to extricate my country from this doubly rivetted despotism.
I wished to place her independence beyond the reach of any power on earth; I wished to exalt you to that proud station in the world.
Connexion with France was intended—but only as far as mutual interest would sanction or require; were they to assume any authority inconsistent with the purest independence, it would be the signal for their destruction; we fought aid and we fought it as we had assurances we should obtain it—as auxiliaries in war, and allies in peace.
Were the French to come as invaders or enemies, uninvited by the wishes of the people; I should oppose them to the utmost of my strength. Yes, my countrymen, I should advise you to meet them on the beach, with a sword in the one hand and a torch in the other—I would meet them with all the destructive fury of war, and I would animate my countrymen to immolate them in their boats before they had contaminated the soil of my country. If they succeeded in landing, and if forced to retire before superior discipline, I would dispute every inch of ground, burn every blade of grass, and the last intrenchment of liberty should be my grave. What I could not do myself if I should fall, I should leave as a last charge to my countrymen to accomplish, because I should feel conscious that life, any more than death, is unprofitable, when a foreign nation holds my country in subjection.
But it was not as an enemy that the successors of France were to land; I looked indeed for the assistance of France; but I wished to prove to France and to the world, that Irishmen deserved to be assisted; that they were indignant at slavery, and ready to assert the independence of their country.
I wished to procure for my country the guarantee which Washington procured for America. To procure an aid which by its example would be important as its valour, disciplined, gallant, pregnant with science and with experience, who would perceive the good and polish the rough points of our character; they would come to us as strangers and leave us as friends, after sharing in our perils and elevating our destiny—these were my objects, not to receive new task masters, but to expel old tyrants—these were my views—and these only became Irishmen. I know your most implacable enemies are in the bosom of your country!
I have been charged with that importance in the efforts to emancipate my country, as to be considered the key stone of the combination of Irishmen, or as your lordship expressed it, "the life and blood of the conspiracy." You do me honor overmuch? You have given to the subaltern all the credit of a superior; there are men engaged in this conspiracy, who are not only superior to me, but even to your own conceptions of yourself my lord; men before the splendor of whose genius and virtues I should bow with respectful deference, and who would think themselves dishonored to be called your friend, who would not disgrace themselves by shaking your blood stained hand.
[Here he was interrupted]
What my lord, shall you tell me, on the passage to that scaffold, which that tyranny of which you are only the intermediary executioner has erected for my murder, that I am accountable for all the blood that has been and will be shed in this struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor, shall you tell me this—and must I be so very a slave as not to repel it?
I do not fear to answer the omnipotent judge—to answer for the conduct of my whole life, and am I to be appalled and faltered by a mere remnant of mortality here; by you too who, if it were possible to collect all the innocent blood that you have shed in your unhallowed ministry in one great reservoir your lordship might swim in it.
Here the judge interfered.—Let no man when I am dead charge me with dishonor—let no man attain my memory by believing that I could have engaged in any cause but that of my country's liberty and independence—or that I could have become the pliant minion of power in the oppression or the miseries of my countrymen; the proclamation of the provisional government, speaks for our views; no inference can be tortured from it to countenance barbarity or debasement at home or subjection calumny or treachery from abroad—I would not have submitted to a foreign oppressor, for the same reason that I would resist the foreign & domestic oppressor; in the dignity of freedom I would have fought upon the threshold of my country, and its enemy should enter only by passing over my lifeless corpse. And who lived but for my country, and who have subjected myself to the dangers of the jealous, & watchful oppressor and the bondage of the grave, only to give my countrymen their rights and my country her independence and I am to be loaded with calumny and not suffered to resent, and repel it—No God forbid!
If the spirits of the illustrious dead participates in the concerns & cares of those who were dear to them in this transitory life—O ever dear and venerated shade of my departed father, look down with scrutiny upon the conduct of your suffering son; and see if I have even for a moment deviated from those principles of morality and patriotism which it was your care to instil into my youthful mind; and for which I am now to offer up my life.
My Lords—you are impatient for the sacrifice—the blood which you seek is not concealed by the artificial terrors which surround your victim, it circulates warmly and unruled through the channels which God created for noble purposes, but which you are bent to destroy, for purposes so grievous, that they cry to heaven—be yet patient! I have but a few more words to say—I am going to my cold and silent grave: my lamp of life is nearly extinguished: my race is run: the grave opens to receive me, and I sink into its bosom! I have but one request to ask before my departure from this world, it is the charity of its silence!—Let no man write my epitaph, for as no man who knows my motives dare now vindicate them, let not prejudice or ignorance appease them. Let them and me repose in obscurity and peace, and my tomb remain unscripted, until other times, and other men, can do justice to my character;—when my country takes her place among the nations of the earth, then—and not till then—let my epitaph be written—I have done.
FUNERAL ORATION, Delivered by Governor Morris esq. over the corpse of GENERAL HAMILTON.
Fellow Citizens! If on this sad, this solemn occasion, I should endeavor to move your commiseration, it would be doing injustice to that sensibility which has been so generally and so justly manifested. Far from attempting to excite your emotions I must try to repress my own, and yet I fear that instead of the language of a public speaker, you will hear only the lamentations of a bewailing friend. But I will struggle with my bursting heart, to portray that Heroic Spirit, which has flown to the mansions of bliss.
Students of Columbia—he was in the ardent pursuit of knowledge in your Academic shades, when the first sound of the American war called him to the field. A young and unprotected volunteer, such was his zeal and so brilliant his service that we heard his name before we knew his person.—It seemed as if God had called him suddenly into existence, that he might assist to save a world!
The penetrating eye of Washington soon perceived the manly spirit which animated his youthful bosom. By that excellent judge of men he was selected as an Aid, and thus he became early acquainted with, and was a principal actor in the most important scenes of our revolution.
At the siege of York, he pertinaciously insisted—and he obtained the command of a Forlorn Hope. He
formed the redoubt; but let it be recorded that not one single man of the enemy perished. His gallant troops emulating the heroism of their chief, checked the uplifted arm, and spared a foe no longer resisting. Here closed his military career.
Shortly after the war, your favor—no, your discernment called him to public office. You sent him to the convention at Philadelphia: he there assisted in forming that constitution which is now the bond of our union, the shield of our defence and the source of our prosperity. In signing that compact, he expressed his apprehension that it did not contain sufficient means of strength for its own preservation; and that in consequence we should share the fate of many other republics, and pass through anarchy to despotism. We hoped better things. We confided in the good sense of the American people; and above all we trusted in the protecting Providence of the Almighty. On this important subject he never concealed his opinion. He disdained concealment. Knowing the purity of his heart, he bore it as it were, in his hand, exposing to every passenger its inmost recesses.—This generous indiscretion subjected him to censure from misrepresentation. His speculative opinions were treated as deliberate designs; and yet you all know how strenuous, how unremitting were his efforts to establish and to preserve the constitution. If, then, his opinion was wrong, pardon, Oh! pardon that single error, in a life devoted to your service.
At the time when our government was organized, we were without funds, though not without resources. To call them into action, and establish order in the finances, Washington sought for splendid talents, for extensive information, and above all, he sought for sterling incorruptible integrity—All these he found in Hamilton—The system then adopted has been the subject of much animadversion. If it be not without a fault, let it be remembered that nothing human is perfect—Recollect the circumstances of the moment—recollect the conflict of opinion—and, above all, remember that the minister of a republic must bend to the will of the people. The administration which Washington formed, was one of the most efficient, one of the best that any country was ever blest with. And the result was a rapid advance in power and prosperity, of which there is no example in any other age or nation. The part which Hamilton bore is universally known.
His unsusppecting confidence in professions which he believed to be sincere, led him to trust too much to the undeserving. This exposed him to misrepresentation. He felt himself obliged to resign—The care of a rising family, and the narrowness of his fortune, made it a duty to return to his profession for their support. But though he was compelled to abandon public life, never, no, never for a moment did he abandon the public service. He never lost sight of your interest—I declare to you before that God in whose presence we are now so especially assembled, that in his most private and confidential conversations, the single objects of discussion and consideration were your freedom and happiness.
You will remember the state of things which again called forth Washington from his retreat to lead your armies. You know that he asked for Hamilton to be his second in command. That venerable sage well knew the dangerous incidents of a military profession, and he felt the hand of time pinching life at its source. It was probable that he would soon be removed from the scene, and that his second would succeed to the command. He knew, by experience, the importance of that place—and he thought the sword of America might safely be confided to the hand which now lies cold in that coffin. Oh! my fellow-citizens, remember this solemn testimonial, that he was not ambitious. Yet he was charged with ambition; and wounded by the imputation, when he laid down his command, he declared, in the proud independence of his soul, that he never would accept of any office, unless in a foreign war he should be called on to expose his life in defence of his country. His determination was immovable. It was his fault that his opinions and his resolutions could not be changed. Knowing his own firm purpose, he was indignant at the charge that he sought for place or power. He was ambitious only of glory, but he was deeply solicitous for you. For himself he feared nothing, but he feared that bad men might, by false professions, acquire your confidence and abuse it to your ruin.

Brothers of the Cincinnati— There lies our duty! Let him full be our model. Like him, after long and faithful public service, let us cheerfully perform the social duties of private life. Oh! he was mild and gentle. In him there was no of- fence; no guile. His generous hand and heart were open to all.
Gentlemen of the bar—You have lost your brightest ornament. Cher- ish and imitate his example. While like him, with judicious, with lauda- ble zeal, you pursue the interests of your clients, remember, like him, the eternal principles of justice.
Fellow-citizens—You have long witnessed his professional conduct, and felt his unvalued eloquence.— You know how well he performed the duties of a citizen. You know that he never courted your favor by adulation or the taciturn of his own judgment. You have seen him con- tending against you, and saving your dearest interests, as it were, in spite of yourselves. And you now feel and enjoy the benefits resulting from the firm energy of his conduct.— Bear this testimony to the memory of my departed friend. I charge you to protect his fame.—It is all he has left—all that these poor or- phan children will inherit from their father. But my countrymen, that fame may be a rich treasure to you also. Let it be the test by which to examine those who solicit your favor. Disregarding professions, view their conduct, and on a doubtful occasion, ask, Would Hamilton have done this thing?
You all know how he perished.— On this last scene, I cannot, I must not dwell. It might excite emotions too strong for your better judgment. Suffer not your indignation to lead to any act which might again offend the insulted majesty of the laws.— On his part, as from his lips, though with my voice—for his voice you will hear no more—let me entreat you to respect your selves.
And now ye ministers of the ev- erlasting God, perform your holy of- fice, and commit these ashes of our departed brother to the bosom of the grave!

NEW-YORK, July 26. The weather which for a week past, has been usually cool and pleasant; to the Eastward almost amounted to intem- perate. In Salem, says a Boston Ga- zette, flakes of snow were seen falling to the ground and in Newburyport, we understood the frost was so severe as to kill a number of cucumber vines.
From the Meteorican. Extract of a letter from Mr. Andrew Belknap, of Boston, dated March- 18, 1804. "The report of war with Tunis is not yet absolutely confirmed. We un- derstand that Commodore Preble has been in the harbour of Tunis with his squadron, to demand of the Bey his rea- sons for firing out a number of vessels of war; there is no certainty that war is declared." P. S. An arrival from Syracuse, brings intelligence, the noise of war with Tunis, had subsided."
BALTIMORE July 23. The chiefs from the Ohio nation of Indians, with their king, arrived in town yesterday, from the Federal city. The following description of these strangers will give our readers some idea of their persons and dispositions, but what may excite their curiosity much more, is a military anecdote which was related to us by an intelligent gentleman, this morn- ing; Their king, with 15 warriors, some years ago, intercepted a Spanish convoy with ingots, going across the Illi- nus with Darien, and loaded themselves with the rich booty; they were, how- ever, afterwards overtaken by superior force, and obliged to surrender their trea- sure. With 600 stand of muskets, they think they could become purveyors to the army of the United States, and supply it in profusion, with ingots from the Span- ish mines!
PHILADELPHIA July 27. FROM N. Y. DAILY ADVERTISER. Through the politeness of our com- mercial friends, who will please accept our grateful acknowledgments, we have received files of Paris papers so late as the 11th ult. inclusive. Their contents are extremely interesting. The trial of Moreau, Georgies, and the other con- spirators, commenced before the court of criminal justice, on the 28th of May, and after thirteen sittings, came to a close on the morning of the 11th of June. We are happy to say before our readers the result of these most important judicial proceedings. "This day, the 21st Prai- rial," says the Journal du Commerce of
June 11th, "at three o'clock in the morn- ing, and after twenty-four hours of de- liberation, the court of criminal justice has condemned to the punishment of death Georges Cadoudal, Bouvet de Plozier, Rubillon, Rochelle, Louis De- corps, Louis Picot, Lajolais, Michael Royer, Cullen-Sa-Victor, deville, Ar- mand Guillard, Joyaux-de Villeneuve, Burdan, Lemercier, Cadoudal, Merille, Armand Polignac, Charles d'Hozier Le- and Riviere."
The following accused persons, VIZ. FOR MOREAU, Jules Polignac, Leridan, Rolland, and Marie Helay, declared guilty, have been condemned to two years imprisonment.—Those whose names follow have been acquitted: Gouchery, Pabbe David, Herve, Rubin Lagrimal- liere, Lenoble, Noel Decorp, Dauty, Even, Troche the father, Troche the son, Denand and wife, Verdet and wife, Monnier and wife. These, with the exception of Verdet, Denand and wife, Dubuisson and wife, have been liberated, who for contravention of the law have been remitted to the house of correction.
The Argus of May 30th, contains a letter of Moreau, address to the (de- ceased) first consul, written on the 17th Ventose about a month after the im- prisonment, in which he explains his relations with the unfortunate Pichegru, which, he says, however imprudent were far from being criminal. He concludes by saying "I expect your decision on my fate with the calm of innocence, but not without an apprehension of seeing those enemies triumph who are always attract- ed by celebrity." We are sorry our li- mits preclude the insertion of the letter in to-day's paper.
When the Logan failed from Nantz, a report was in circulation that Moreau was pardoned: this however, considering the sentence of the criminal tribunal, appears very improbable. The coronation of Bonaparte, which was to take place on the 14th of this month, was the subject of conversation. The ceremony was to be performed with prodigious pomp.
COMMUNICATED. "Hark the whisper! Angels say, 'Silent spirit come away.'" Died in the vicinity of Lexington, yesterday morning, after a short ill- ness, Mr. Jeremiah Rankin : leaving a disconsolate widow, with six small children. A recapitulation of the virtues of this worthy man, would be only a diminution of them. His candor, his honesty, his unassuming manners, all conspired to render him beloved by those with whom he had any dealings, and to whom he was in any measure known. This man than whom there was none more just and upright, "died the death of the righteous, and his latter end was like his."

TO SOAR aloft on Fancy's wing.  AN ORIGINAL ODE,  Written by R. T. PAINE, Jun Esq. And sung at the Anniversary Celebration of the Massachusetts Charitable Fire Society, by Mrs. Jones,
THE Street was a Ruin, and Night's horrid gale Illumin'd with terror, the face of Despair; While houseless, bewailing, Mute pity assailing, A Mother's wild shrieks pierc'd the merciless air. Beside her stood Edward, imploring each wind, 'To wake his lov'd sister, who linger'd behind; Awake, my poor Mary, Oh! fly to me, Mary, In the arms of your Edward a pillow you'll find.
In vain he call'd, for now the volum'd smoke Crackling between the parting rafters broke; Thro' the rent beams the forked flames al- pire, All, all is lost—the roof's on fire; the roof's on fire.  A flash from the window brought Mary to view, She scream'd, as around her the flames fiercely blew: Where art thou, Mother! Oh! fly to me, Brother! Oh! save your poor Mary, who lives but for you! Leave not poor Mary, Ah! save your poor Mary!
Her vision'd form desecrating, On wings of horror flying, The youth crests his frantic gaze, Then plunges in the maddening blaze! Aloft he dauntless soars, 'The flaming room explore, The roof in cinders crushes, Thro' tumbling walls he rushes! She's safe from fear's alarms; She faints in Edward's arms! Oh!
