NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Supplementary day—Sept. 19.
Itabeau, in the names of the committees of public welfare and general safety, gave an account of an insurrection raised against him in the commune of Chartres.
The representative of the people, Letellier, had been led to commit suicide, in consequence of an insurrection raised against him in the commune of Chartres. Some previous commotions having caused the committees to send Letellier on a mission in the department of Eure and Loire, in order to facilitate the circulation of corn; and at the same time to watch over the conduct of the ill-intentioned, who were already sowing the seeds of rebellion in the district of Chateau-Neuf; the primary assemblies of that district, led astray by some perfidious men, exercised acts of sovereignty, which they had no right to exercise: they ordered some troops, who were in cantonment in their neighborhood, to remove to some distance; they also ordered the public treasury to be seized; the trees of liberty to be cut down, and its statues to be destroyed. Royal placards were employed to corrupt the public mind. Your committees have always been of the same opinion with the National Convention, that all measures of moderation and of reason ought first to be exhausted, before recourse should be had to forcible measures.
In all these commotions, the mass of the people is ever essentially good—it is only necessary to take them out of the hands of the intriguers. Letellier set out on the 27th Fructidor on his mission; his humane character, his information and talents, all seemed to predict that his mission would have the most happy effect. The mission which he had fulfilled at Lyons, where in a time of great scarcity of provisions, he maintained tranquility, by his wise measures, could not but inspire us with just hopes of his success in his new mission. On the 30th Thermidor, Letellier wrote to the government committees, communicating to them his observations on the fermentation which prevailed at Chartres, and which was supported by the returned priests, and by the partisans of royalty. He communicated an incendiary writing, entitled, "Report of the commissaries of the commune of Chateau-Neuf, on their mission with the primary assemblies at Paris." Among other things, it was stated in this paper, that the convention were despised—that they durst not give any answer to the arrears of the sections; that the fetters of the French would soon be broken; that the government was obliged to pay terrorists to come into the galleries." (Murmurs of indignation.) The reporter added: "We shall soon be able to make a general report on this horrible conspiracy; the last link of its chain affects you; in the mean time I must tell you, that the enemies of the country died your wisdom, your tranquility and forbearance.
On the first supplementary day a rebellion broke out at Chartres. Letellier surrounded by a furious mob, resisted for a while their threats and imprecations; but he could not escape without passing that fatal arrete which was the cause of his death. A crowd of men and women assembled at his house demanding bread; other rioters excited confusion, crying out that he had bread concealed. The representative was not frightened at these clamors; he opened to them his house, and went afterwards to the house of the commune; the threats of the furies recommenced, and Letellier was obliged to issue an arrete, stating that bread should be distributed at three sols a pound. Whilst this arrete was proclaimed, the good citizens had the mortification of hearing Vive le Roi in the streets.
(Murmurs of indignation.)
The representative was reconducted to his house. He said to the magistrates who went with him, I would have blown out my brains, if I had not feared to sacrifice the constituted authorities: but you will soon be convinced that there are in the convention men of honour. (Yes! cried several members, turning their looks towards Saladin, whom they reproached for his writings against the decree of the 5th Fructidor.) When arrived at his house, he conversed with the magistrates on principles of morality, presented them with a collection of maxims which he had composed; he then dismissed the company, and a few moments afterwards it was reported he had killed himself. Two letters, written a few moments before his death, were found upon his table: one was addressed to the authorities of Chartres, to whom he said—
"I came here to assist you in procuring succors for the inhabitants of this commune, my reward was ignominy, which I could not outlive. I quit life with the advantage of probity, an inheritance which I received from my respectable father, and which I bequeath to my children."
In his letter to the government committees, he justifies his conduct with respect to the arrete, and requests not to be accused of cowardice, for having endeavored to save the lives of the magistrates, who would have been massacred along with him, if he had resisted the mob; concluding with the observation, that his voluntary death would be of greater advantage to the republic than his assassination could have been."
The reporter continued to expose to the Convention the manoeuvres of the royalists to stop the provisions on their road to Paris.
Itabeau then observed, that the committees were preparing a report on the situation of France, and proposed a decree ordering Bourbon of Oise and Fleury to repair to the department of Eure and Loire, to replace the unfortunate Letellier. Decreed.
Boissy d'Anglas. I move that the Committee of public instruction be ordered to make a report on the funeral honors to be paid to the memory of our colleague Letellier. (Great murmurs of discontent interrupted Boissy.)
Boissy continued. "I do not mean to anticipate the measures which your committee shall think it necessary to adopt, but permit me to express my feelings. One of our colleagues has fallen a victim to his duty, to his love of liberty; I move that
homage be paid to his memory; such as is due to all those who die in the support of order and liberty."
Tallien—"I do not oppose the proposition made by Boissy, to pay funeral homage to the memory of our unfortunate Colleague. A time will arrive when such homage will be paid to the memory of all those who have perished for Liberty; this will take place when we shall have no more enemies to combat (Applaudes!) that will be when the Country shall have revenged itself of the numerous crimes which are daily committed against it. Are new misfortunes, new crimes, necessary to open your eyes, to shew you into what a gulph they are about to plunge you; to shew you Royalty, "which every where raises its odious head!" to shew you those men who want to assassinate the Republic, together with the Republicans? I think that the time is arrived when the veil ought to be thrown aside, and the whole truth to be told. (Applaudes.) I am going to throw aside that veil, and to tell the truth. (Applaudes.)
"I have confessed that the National Convention should oppose nothing but silence to the daily attacks of the disaffected; but the people have just declared their will; all France has just launched a terrible anathema against those men who agitate Paris and the departments. Every where the most determined will has been expressed for a Republican Government. Every where an irreconcilable hatred has been sworn against the tyrants. The accord of the departments with the armies ought to have driven the enemies of the country to despair— (Applaudes.)
"Agitations however, are continued, and whatever may be said to the contrary; the agitators are not to be despised. Remark the topographical position of Chartres: it is the department that joins La Vendee, which they endeavour to Chouanize; they do every thing in order to bring this war to Paris. They endeavour to make a Paris of La Vendee, or a La Vendee of Paris.
"They thought themselves masters of the republic, because, for an instant those men dominated, who, during all the events of the Revolution, had remained concealed; men protected by the citizen privileged calls. Already were the ribbands ready. Already were the cries of Vive le Roi heard; Here the image of Capet and his wife were multiplied in every corner; there the women ornamented themselves with the emblems of Royalty. This was not all:—the Republicans were yet feared; they wished to bring against them the forces of the Sections; and in order to give a uniform direction to the party, it was thought necessary to make those sections advance, in which were the greatest number of men, who had fought in the camps of the Tarquins, at the time when the people attacked the Thuilleries, and destroyed the Throne, and they rallied those writers who were known to be attached to Monarchical Principles. In these sections all those who preached in favour of Royalty were united. Richer Scizy, who is incessantly accusing the Republic: Ladeveze, who, in 1792, published the journal L'ami du Roy; and the priest Poncelin, who said that he would either tread under his feet the bodies of the members of the Convention, or they should dance the Marseillois march over his body.
"The conspirators assembled at a known place, about one league from Paris. There the Spaniard Marchene and others are projecting another 31st of May—there they determine to make an appeal to the pure patriots, as, on the 31st of May, an appeal was made to the mountain, when they intended to cut the throats of Vergniaux and his unfortunate Colleagues—There they have drawn up an address, which is carried about every where, and which will soon be presented to you; in which those pure deputies are invited to raise their voices and to speak against their Colleagues, in order to sow discord amongst them. Listen to the paper which has just been distributed, entitled—A Last Word to the Parisians. I shall only read you a few passages. It says, that if the Legislative body is not assembled on the 10th Vendemiaire, the Convention must be outlawed.
"The Parisians are invited in this paper, to be always armed with pistols in order to kill the Members of the Convention; they are not afraid (say they) of Royalty, but of the Scaffolds. Let them do what they will, the men who caused the massacres of the 2d of September, and those who voted for the death of the King, will never die in their beds, unless they die very soon. Deputies who shall speak the truth, and tear the veil asunder, shall be placed under the safeguard of the Sections. I look upon this extract (continued Tallien) as a manifesto against the republic and the republicans; I see that they are openly conspiring against the Country.
"It is evident that the Journalists are uniting their efforts to sharpen the daggers of calumny against each of us; against all the friends of liberty. The Priest Poncelin will soon come back from Chartres, in order to increase their number, in case he has not been able to create a new La Vendee. In the mean time, he is seconded by Scizy, by Ladeveze, and by that handful of Traitors who have at all times detested the Republic.
"It is not a decree which I am proposing to you; it is an appeal to the patriots; assure them that not one of them shall be massacred, that the robbers and the assassins shall be punished; (applaudes) and all the friends of order and of the country will soon flock around you; even those whom a difference of opinion has kept at a distance from you, will rally under your colors; and altogether we will save the country.
"Representatives! do but display energy, and all men of property will feel the necessity of joining you. Let us save our country from the horrors of a civil war, and let us all perish sooner than suffer a civil war to take place.
"I move, that the proposition which I now make, to decree the banishment of all the royalists, be referred to the committees."
Byon moved that the printer and author of the paper read by Tallien, should be arrested.
Legendre supported the proposition of Tallien, he said he was looked upon as the accuser of the leaders of the primary Assemblies, it is time, said
he, to open the eyes of good citizens with respect to their plans. These leaders wish to destroy Paris; what is the object of their notices and proclamations—to create confusion. He moved that the committee of general security should be ordered to keep a correct register of all the addresses, of all the bills, of all the writings the contents of which have been read at the bar of the Convention, pulled up and published, since the convocation of the primary assemblies—referred to the committee.
Baudin said, at the moment when Itabeau left the committee of public welfare in order to make his report, we received papers, which I am charged to read to you, which will throw a considerable light on the subject of discussion."
He then read a regiller from the proceedings of the municipality of Beauceancy, stating, that the following counter-revolutionary paper had been passed up at the gate of an hospital of that town, dated: "In order to insure tranquility in France, there must be a King, whose throne is to float on the blood of two millions of men; Paris ought to be destroyed, the inhabitants put to the sword, and not one stone left upon another. Terror ought to sit with a dagger in her left hand at the gate of the Sanctuary of Laws, in order to destroy the tyrants, who, for these three years, have afflicted the good people of France; religious worship must be regenerated, and its ministers, who have dishonored it by their private interest, purified: all this to be done by means of the Constitution which is about to be accepted."
(Signed)
"MECAUD GESSUS.
Baudin continued. "Good citizens of Paris, this is the bread which the emissaries of the department are preparing for you."
Deferment deplored the fatal event which had given rise to all these motions and to all these energetic speeches: he thought it was the project of some members to take advantage from this catastrophe, in order to enrage the people against men, who are rather their private enemies than the enemies of the public weal, and who take advantage of this event, for the purpose of gratifying their private revenge. He invited the convention to remain calm, and not to espouse the cause of individuals. "The news from the departments (said he) is not so bad as they wish you to believe;—your enemies themselves are already divided, and will soon be annihilated.
"I move that all the propositions be referred to the government committees, in order to make a speedy report on the same." Decreed.
September 22.
It was decreed on the motion of Bailly, that the Electoral Bodies should meet on the 15th Vendemiaire at the latest, and that the Legislative Body should assemble at Paris on the first day of the month of Brumaire. This decree was adopted amidst the loudest applauses.
A deputation of Petitioners was admitted to the Bar.
The Speaker said—"The Primary and Permanent Assemblies of the section of Lepelletier, have sent us to make known their wishes.—They require that crime should be imprisoned and punished; all France, and Paris in particular, denounced to you three months ago, a set of men who had drunk your blood and ours, and those men still remain unpunished, and have even been set at liberty in all quarters, without any kind of trial; nay, more, they are represented as the only good Citizens; they are praised and the title of Patriots of 1789 is given to them.
"What is it to us that they were patriots in the year 1789, if it be proved that since that time they have been Assassins, Dilapidators and Tyrants?—What under the pretence of having been patriots in the year 1789, ought they to have been suffered with impunity to be executioners under Robespierre, Members of murdering commissions, Breakers of Seals, and hired informers? What! after having yourselves ordered them to be imprisoned under the names of terrorists, you now suffer them to escape with impunity!—Would you again allow them to mingle with society, that they may be enabled to cut the throats of the same citizens who were ordered by you to destroy them, when they were going to bathe themselves in your blood on the first Prarial.
"Legislators, do not cease to be just: be careful not to rely on the support offered to you by crime; order the accomplices of our tyrants to be tried: let the villains pointed out by yourselves under the name of Terrorists, be again dragged to their prisons: or, we confess, we shall dread the greatest misfortunes.
"Fear for yourselves!" (exclaimed some one.)
(Murmurs.) Bernier (the President) observed, in reply, that the Convention would be just towards all men; that they would favor no party, and could know how to repress both Terrorists and Royalists.
Villers invited the Convention to pass to the order of the day, on the petition of the Primary Assembly of the Section of Lepelletier; he did not at all fear the terrorists; he flattered himself that if they were to renew their criminal manoeuvres, they would prove impotent—He thought, that all the denunciations against them were nothing but a scheme of the Royalists, in order to conceal their own designs. He did not wish for Terror, which had erected scaffolds, and destroyed a hundred thousand victims: but it appeared to him, that there was a salutary terror, without which, he thought, that no government could exist, nor any security for persons or property. He concluded by moving the order of the day.
Lanjuinais—"Villers has perverted the question—The question is, whether the persons accused of crimes shall be set at liberty or not, without a trial? It is in order to conceal the most guilty, that you are constantly alarmed with tales of Royalism.—To pass to the order of the day, without assigning some reason for so doing, would be dangerous but it may be accompanied by a declaration, that the release of the prisoners will not prevent prosecutions from being instituted against the guilty.—(Murmurs.)
I require nothing (resumed Lanjuinais) but the execution of an Arrete of the Committee of General Security—That Committee by its Arretes, ef-

establishes the inviolability of the Citizens. I move therefore, that in case the order of the day be adopted, it shall be accompanied by the declaration I mentioned; this is the only means to do justice to all."
Baudin—"The section of Lepelletier cannot be ignorant of the fact, that a number of those, whom it now denounces, are already on trial, there is a shameful want of candour in this Petition." (A violent agitation appeared in one part of the Assembly.—Henry Lariviere, Thibaudeau, and others asked leave to speak, Tallien and Legendre claimed the same privilege.)
Bourdou (of Oise)—"No body can without betraying his conscience, vote otherwise than for the order of the day accompanied by the declaration proposed by Lanjuinais." (Murmurs in the Mountain.)
Baudin—"Pache, and Bouchotte are on their trial; as to Raifon, he has been acquitted.—The Committee of General Security is calumniated—For upwards of three decades past, we have neither issued an order of arrest, nor an order for liberating any body." (This is false exclaimed several persons.)
Baudin then read an Arrete issued six weeks before, which perfectly agreed with the opinion of Lanjuinais.
"Well," exclaimed some members, we only demand the execution of that Arrete."
Thibaudeau—"I move the order of the day, but from quite different motives, I acknowledge in no Primary assembly the right of declaring itself permanent, nor of treating objects foreign from the purpose for which it was convened. But to return to the question I declare that the Government has lately been a little too forward in setting persons at liberty.—The greatest villains are seen running about the Streets and threatening the good citizens. The most horrid tyranny has oppressed France—but what accomplice of those monsters has been punished since the 9th Thermidor?—Have Heron, and so many others, whose crimes are written every where in letters of blood, been punished? Why this fatal indulgence? I detest Royalism as much as any body but no dangers with which they could frighten me, would make me embrace the infamous Terrorists whom we have subdued; If I were destined to fall a victim to the enemies of the republic, I should prefer having my throat cut to becoming a cut throat, or to associate with the executioners of my Country, and become a partner in their crimes."
"I thought it necessary to make this declaration, that whatever may happen my Fellow Citizens may know, that I will have nothing to do with assassins. Let us equally punish all excesses—Let us protect no guilty person, and conscience will revive: and then the Republic will triumph, alike victorious over the horrors of terrorism and the conspiracies of royalism.—I move, that after leaving a free course to justice and the Tribunals against all persons accused of revolutionary crimes, you pass to the order of the day, accompanied by a declaration, that no Primary Assembly has a right either to declare itself permanent, or to interfere with any subject which does not relate to the Constitution."
The speech of Thibaudeau was often interrupted by loud applause from a large party of the members of the Convention, and from the small galleries. The large galleries peopled according to custom with Jacobins, observed during the whole sitting a dead silence.
Bourdou of Oise moved, that all citizens should be authorized to prosecute persons known to have committed Revolutionary excesses, notwithstanding their having been set at liberty by the Committee of General Security—Negatived.
Jean De Bric voted for the order of the day, accompanied by the declaration moved by Lanjuinais and Thibaudeau. The Convention passed to the order of the day.
"It is of great importance to us, that the Belgians and the people of Liege should be free, and also that they should be Frenchmen, in order to counteract the plots which the ill intentioned might attempt, as they did at the beginning of the revolution, to detach from France the Departments of the North and of the Pas de Calais; and lastly, it is necessary that we increase the security of our Emigrants by those immense estates belonging to the clergy and emigrants, which we shall find in those countries, as soon as the union with France shall have been pronounced; and which amount to at least two-thirds of the value of our assignats. These observations are also applicable to other Countries which have been conquered by our triumphant armies."
"There would be as much badness as imprudence in delivering them up to our enemies. A thousand times have you loaded with applause those who declared, that the Rhine was the natural barrier of the republic; these are the principles of your committee, and we may already declare our will with respect to the conquered countries.—There is nothing contained in our treaties with the King of Prussia and the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel contrary to our principles."
"The public interest, and the necessity of depriving the emperor of all hopes of making a peace at the expense of Belgium; the wish of extending the Empire of Liberty; all invite you to come to an immediate decision upon this great Question."
Metlin then read his propositions, which were very long, but of which the following were the principal Articles:
 1. The decrees formerly passed for uniting to France the department of Gemppe, Austrian Flanders, Brabant, the country of Liege, &c. shall be enforced without delay.  2. All the other countries possessed by the House of Austria at the commencement of the war, on this side of the Rhine, such as Limburgh, Luxemburg, &c. are all incorporated with France, as well as those countries which are specified in the treaty of peace concluded between the French and Batavian Republics.  3. The French republic also accedes to the wishes expressed by the inhabitants for the union of the cities of the Ypres, Namur, Tournay, Ghent, and Mons, to France.  4. All the inhabitants of these different countries, shall enjoy the privileges of French Citizens, as specified in the Constitutional Code. 
5. The Representatives of the people shall divide these countries into departments and Cantons.
6. The countries which have been already united to France, shall immediately proceed to the appointment of their public functionaries.
7. In these countries which are about to be united to France, the public functionaries shall be provisionally named by the Representatives of the people.
8. The Legislative body shall fix the number of Representatives to be elected by these countries.
"The Question! the Question!" exclaimed a great number of members.
Lefage, of Eure and Loire—"I move that these propositions be printed, and the discussion adjourned for three days; the decrees, the execution of which is proposed, were the decrees of enthusiasm; those which you are now called upon to pass, ought to be maturely investigated; certainly no body can think of restoring Belgium to her ancient tyrants; but are there not other means of giving her liberty? Must we unite her with France? Would not that be the means of retarding the hour of peace? This is what we ought to examine calmly, and to weigh maturely. I therefore move, that the discussion of the question be adjourned for three days."
Some members moved to adopt as a principle, the incorporation of the conquered countries with the republic.
Lanjuinais opposed it. He declared that the interest of the republic and the dignity of the National Convention required, that they should, on a question of such delicacy, avoid all precipitate deliberation.
The Convention passed the motion of adjournment.
Quirot, in the name of the Committee of General Security, moved, that those citizens of Paris who had been arrested from a motive of security, should be carried before the Justice of Peace for the district in which they lived. Decreed.
September 23.
A deputation from the section of the North being admitted to the bar, the speaker declared, that that section considered as objects of hatred to every Frenchman, and as traitors to their country, all constituted authorities, or individuals, who attempt to make any change in the constitution by other means than those pointed out by that constitution.
Perrin (des Vosges) "The principles which dictated this petition are engraven on our hearts; I move that it be inserted in the Bulletin.—Decreed."
In the name of the committees of decrees and Proves Verbaux, Gommaire gave an account of the result of the certificates of the proceedings of the primary assemblies:
"Almost the whole nation (said he) have accepted the decrees of the 5th and 13th Fructidor. Notwithstanding the intrigues of the factions, the French people confident of their strength, place a firm reliance on their representatives: the constitution is no longer yours; it belongs to the people of France."
"The meeting of the primary assemblies was the epoch fixed on by the royalists for the re-establishment of their tyranny, and for exciting a general conflagration. But the Genius of France has saved her from destruction. An immense majority of the whole nation has accepted the constitution, with loud applause, and with transports of joy: some few communes have indeed rejected it; but not one has declared in favour of tyranny."
"You were of opinion that those men who had defended liberty against tyranny; that those who had made the constitution, were the most interested in maintaining it; you therefore passed the decrees of the 5th and 13th Fructidor; and these decrees have been accepted by a majority of the French."
"Though several of the primary assemblies have not declared their approbation of them in more express terms, the perusal of their proceedings will be sufficient to prove that they considered them as inseparable from the constitution. Your committees, however, have only included in their report, such of the primary assemblies as adopted them in a manner both clear and precise. The moment then is come when all hatred should be forgotten, all dissensions laid aside. Let us deliver up crime to the sword of justice, but let error be forgiven. People of France, be a people of brothers."
"The certificates of the proceedings of 6,337 primary assemblies, include 958,226 on the constitution alone, of whom 914,853 have accepted, and 41,892 rejected it."
"The number of voters on the decrees of the 5th and 13th of Fructidor, is 270,338—of whom 167,758 have accepted the decrees, and 95,373 have rejected them. The majority in favor of the decrees, is 72,385." (Loud applause.)
He then proposed the two following decrees:
 1. The Convention declares, in the name of the French people, that the Constitution is accepted, and that it becomes the fundamental law of the republic.  2. The National Convention declares, in the name of the French people, that the decrees of the 5th and 13th Fructidor, are laws of the republic, and that the electoral assemblies shall be bound to conform to them. 
Both these decrees were unanimously adopted in the midst of the most enthusiastic acclamations of joy. But when they were declared by the President to have passed, the most majestic tranquillity prevailed in the assembly; while the representatives of the people, and the citizens in the galleries, pulled off their hats in a respectful manner, to hear the will of the sovereign people proclaimed. The roof was then made to resound with exclamations of "Vive la Republique! Vive la Convention! Vive la Constitution!"
The decrees were ordered to be sent to the different departments and to the armies.
Lecourneur (of La Manche) in the name of the Committee of Public Welfare, moved; that the committee be authorized to put in a state of requisition for the public service, such citizens comprised in the decree of the preceding day, or priests and the relations of emigrants, as shall deserve their confidence; this disposition, however, not to extend to persons discharging Administrative, Municipal and Judicial functions. Decreed.
Damouin, in the name of the committee of the marine, made a report on the necessity of pressing with the greatest activity the works going forward in the different ports. "It is easily to be conceived (said he) that the present is the time when we ought to prepare, in our arsenals and dock yards, arms against the most formidable and the most perfidious of our enemies, against proud England, blinded by an ephemeral prosperity; and who, notwithstanding her momentary splendour, must, sooner or later, fall before the nation which has conquered the rest of Europe." He declared that the government was determined to strain every nerve, in order to restore to the navy all the strength and power which is wanted. He read several plans of decrees respecting various improvements that were to be adopted. The Convention ordered the report to be printed, and the deliberation to be adjourned.
TOULON, Sept. 13. Yesterday the English squadron had the audacity to come within the reach of our batteries. Sixty discharges from the cannon of Sablettes obliged them to steer off. The English fleet consists of 23 sail. Previously to the appearance of the English fleet, a division of six sail had been got ready to leave the harbour the first fair wind.
DUBLIN, Sept. 19.
The defenders are numerous in and around this place; but it is hoped, by the exertions of government and the judicious arrangement of the troops these unhappy and deluded people will be brought to a proper sense of duty. Their numbers in this kingdom, are said to amount to twenty two thousand men, and they are endeavouring to get hold of arms and ammunition.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 22.
A letter has been received at Cologne, dated the 16th inst. containing the following particulars:—According to advices from the quarters of Championnet, the division that forms the right wing of the French army upon the right bank of the Rhine had taken post yesterday evening at Dents. It has this day continued its march to Neuweid, where it will be joined by the divisions of Bernadotte and Chapal, which are to cross the Rhine to-morrow. The enemy are negligent in covering their retreat along the Rhine, and confine their whole efforts to the left wing under the command of Gen. Lefevre: nevertheless, their efforts to check the victorious career of the republicans, will be as ineffectual as their attempt to save their artillery. There is not a day passes without the capture of some of their cannon."

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
Mr. BENN. It was believed that the intemperate spirit of a writer in your paper of the 14th inst. under the signature of Y, on Mr. Randolph's resignation and vindication would have been the best comment on the motives which dictated the publication. As, however, an undue impression has been attempted to be made, by means of this uncontradicted statement, on the minds of those whose information does not enable them to detect the falsehood contained in it, it may be advisable to state, and you will accordingly state, that Mr. Randolph has not entertained, nor does he now entertain, any intention of deriving emolument from the publication of his vindication. With regard to other imputations on the character and conduct of Mr. Randolph, the writer of this piece says not a word. His sole object is, to manifest that on one point, the author, under the signature of Y, has substituted falsehood for truth.

NEW-BRUNSWICK, (N. J.) Nov. 23.
On Thursday last, General White and Suite left this place to attend the annual meeting of the Cavalry Officers of New-Jersey, who met at Elizabeth-Town the same day agreeable to adjournment. We are informed that the meeting was very respectable; that mutual sentiments of harmony and friendship prevailed, and that they adjourned to meet at New Brunswick on the first Tuesday in October next.
We also hear that a respectable committee is appointed from the Cavalry to wait upon the Legislature in February next, to petition for a redress of grievances, which have for some time existed in the Cavalry, occasioned by the present militia law. The committee is as follows, viz. Majors Williamson, Leddle, Bailey, Dunham, Quay, Mecker, D'Anterrocches, Ten Broeck; Captains Covenhoven, Hanley, Vanderveer, Stelle, Baskark, Ford, Shafer, Cael, Krocers, Stockton, Ward, Schuyler, Shute and his Lieutenant; Lieutenant McDonald and Adj. Combs. The following Toasts were drank after dinner:
 1. The President of the United States—may his name be venerated till gratitude and fame shall moulder in the sepulchre of creation. Three times three cheers.  2. The virtuous members of the two houses of Congress, who pursue the true interest of their country, without becoming the tools of any European nation. Three cheers.  3. The promoters of peace and order in America—may Heaven reward their labours. Three cheers.  4. Union and mutual confidence to the Officers of the Federal Government; confusion and disgrace to their enemies. Three cheers.  5. The Commander in Chief of New-Jersey. Three cheers.  6. The Legislature of New-Jersey—may wisdom, justice, and liberality direct their councils. Three cheers.  7. Disappointment and a speedy downfall to the enemies of our glorious Constitution. Three cheers. 
 8. May pretenders and demagogues never impose themselves on the country for patriots. Three cheers.  9. Frederick Frelinghuysen and John Ruttenford, Senators of New-Jersey—may they, as they ever have done, deserve well of their country. Three cheers.  10. Alexander Hamilton and the tried patriots of America—may the gratitude of America add to the enjoyment of their well earned laurels. Three cheers.  11. May every true American Patriot support the Constituted Authority of their country. Three cheers.  12. General Lee, and our brother soldiers of the late militia army. Three cheers.  13. Our brother soldiers of the militia of New-Jersey—may they be the first in the field to meet a rebellious or foreign foe. Three cheers.  14. Peace, rational and substantial liberty to all the world. Three cheers.  15. The fair daughters of New-Jersey—may they be coy to such of her sons as shall shun the duties of a citizen soldier. Three cheers. 
Volunteer from the Chair. May every individual of the New-Jersey Cavalry be ready at all times to support and defend the President, the Constitution and the laws, and have it in his power to chastise the wretch who dare insult either.
Mr. Hopkins.
IT is really distressing to all true Americans to submit to the violent abuse which is daily levelled against the President of the United States. However contemptible may be the authors, and however scurrilous is the Printer, and however certain it is that the character abused shines with increasing lustre upon every examination, and is more and more dear to the great body of his fellow citizens; yet nations and individuals, strangers to us and these facts, will begin to suspect his virtue, or our proffered attachment. The cause of liberty too will suffer, in hearing that a Washington has aberrated from that heart cheering goddess; & Mankind will resign all hopes of the possibility of finding a genuine patriot. The happiness of the American people must be at an end, if the government cannot progress without interruption, when the Man of the People directs the helm; for who can be so sanguine as to hope for it, when any other character fills the presidential chair?
Short-lived, then, is our government, blasted our happiness; for disunion among the states will succeed to union—different nations formed, different interests prevail, and the United States become tributary to France and Great-Britain; obeying their policy, cultivating their friendships and their hatreds, and arraying themselves in the field of battle under their councils and their leaders. What a terrible change from our present happiness! Why then do not all good men unite in time and arrest the course of the vicious and misguided? The abuse against government is poured forth from a certain press with every mark of indecorum and contempt of truth: whether this may be attributed to a venal connexion, as is suggested, or to the proper disappointment of some of his relatives in their applications for high offices, is very immaterial; the effect on the national temper and character is the same, and his licentiousness ought to be checked in season.

Switon, of the new Theatre, Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. (The rapid sale of the first edition of this interesting novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.) EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, APRIL 1791, p. 468. "It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity, of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the unconstancy of her lover and treachery of his friend. The situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."
