Distant Subscribers For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Subscription by paying Six Months in Advance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delinquent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may respectively be indebted—the sums are individually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.

FROM THE EAGLE.
VIGIL—No. III.
You think, perhaps, so delicate his dress, His daily fare, as delicate—Alas! He picks clean teeth, and busy as he seems With an old tavern quill, is hungry yet.
COWPER.
Affectation, thou first-born of folly; thou hast done this mischief, and of the remaining adventures of thy slaves, prison walls , could they speak, might tell.
Affectation, in the sober hours of thought, is much condemned by all! indeed it is treated most unfairly. It is wounded even in "the house of its friends." But of all affectation, that of riches I hate. What is it? but the mean desire of acquiring reputation by trash still meaner.
Real wealth, obtained with conscious rectitude, and used as an aid to useful ends, is a blessing; but as the only substitute for felicity, 'tis but a sorry comforter. Where then shall a man hide his head, who builds his hopes of happiness, and honor, on being thought rich, without the reality?
I am sensible, that Prudence, by some, at least, has become a "stale device;" but these are the distinguished few, men of feeling, yes, who have felt the gnaws and rubs of empty stomachs, and who have caused parents and wives to feel too—the wounds of a broken heart;—who, rather than be happy with the many, chuse a different road, though it ends in beggary, and want.
But nature, our safest pilot, teaches a more convenient lesson; and who of all her sons, whose reason is retained within doors, will say he covets wretchedness, and pain? Not one; but unfortunately reason and fancy sometimes cuff it, with strokes vastly unequal.
If happiness is indeed an object worth attention, certainly it will not detract from the merit of genius to seek it, though it requires the rigid maxims of prudence. It is the distinguished privilege of genius to contain within itself every resource of satisfaction, independent of time, and accident—to establish a kind of empire, whose defence is proof against every attack of envy, and detraction. Such a disposition is of more value than the magician's wand, and to arrive at such a state of independence does not require painful exertions, or artificial subterfuge. But leaving the plain lesson of nature, and common sense, or falsely calculating on the esteem of others, many, as to the outward-man, have assumed the appearance of wealth to hide from the world their lack at home. Sordid dignity! when all of us in our lucid moments, unite to hoot the silly sop, who waits for respect, for that he wears a finer piece of cloth than his richer neighbor, while he ought to thank the merchant for his civility, and the tailor for his patience.
The man of sentiment, tho' he has not cash , is content to appear what he is, and let his homely fare and plain garments proclaim to the world his independence, and manly scorn of feathered eminence .
I know, that some fond parents, yea disingenuously fond, will say, "Why, Mr. VIGIL ," perhaps adding some barder names, for the sake of emphasis—"then you would have us keep our girls and boys always drowsing on three months behind every body else in the fashion, always depressed, ashamed to go into company, for the want of something to wear, that is a little decent and pretty, and not knowing the fashionable amusements. This Mr. Impertinence intends our houses shall be swarming with old maidens and awkward boys. Nay, good parent; the Vigil intends no such thing; for he honestly declares, that he has seen many ladies of real charms, who were nought indebted to the seller of silks, and fine linen for their excellence, and when he bowed his head towards them, it was to their very selves he bowed; and not to fringe, and feathers. Teach your daughters to improve the more permanent graces of the mind; make them companionable for men of sense; for there are such men; and, trust me, some prudent instructions for the management of domestic affairs will do them no injury; for bread is better than brocade: such is the style of the moralizer. As to your sons, let them know they have duties to discharge in society, and in order to be good republicans, they should know that debts must be discharged, taxes must be paid, in short they must eat and drink: in this way they will come to honor, and only in this way avoid the disgusting incivility of sheriffs, and constables.
Foreign Intelligence.
FROM PARIS PAPERS.
Port de la Montagne, July 31.
Yesterday two of our convoys from Nice arrived safe at Marseilles. Our Escadre, continues to be at anchor in the gulph of Juan near Cannes. Troops are marching towards that quarter, and a camp of 8 or 10,000 men will be formed there, in order to prevent our Escadre and this town being in the least insulted. Formidable batteries are already raised, and the English may take care, not to come within our reach.
Hansmann the Danish Consul in this port has just now been arrested, and sent with the prisoners of war to Valence, by order of the Representatives of the People. He was formerly connected, or rather leagued with all the counter-revolutionists of this country; he corresponded with the emigrants, and some vessels were always at his disposal. His perfidious practices were at last fully discovered by the loyalty or simplicity of an old man, whose two sons are amongst the emigrants and now at Leghorn.
Twenty-five sail of the enemy, supposed to be Spanish, appeared yesterday on our coast, and directed their course towards the gulph of Juan. If they come near enough, our batteries will give them a warm reception. All parts of this coast are exceedingly well fortified.
The frigates la Courageuse , la Brune and some other armed vessels have taken sea. Destination unknown.
The victualling business goes on here very well, and the activity in this port increases in a surprising progression since the arrival of Jean Bon St. Andre. He took the severest resolution, is occupied with nothing but the organization of the navy and in less than ten days every thing here will be on a level with the revolution. One of his resolutions suppresses the custom which allowed to many prerogatives especially conveniences in lodgings, &c. to the officers on board the ships, the disparity of whose treatment seemed to militate against equality. This excellent measure unites the officers and seamen closer together and renders besides the manoeuvres much easier.
The town was almost obstructed by the immense number of Corsican refugees arrived here. The workmen and public functionaries could hardly find lodgings. Jean Bon St. Andre has even sent them 30 miles further in the country. They were to set out in three days. This order has already been executed. All are gone.
The garrison is encamped on the ramparts of the town, and a new camp will be pitched in the quarter of St. Anne for the workmen.
UNITED STATES.
BOSTON, October 21.
Legendre, it was said, "purged" the Jacobin Club of Paris—He went there with an intent to shoot the President—He actually got him beheaded—He turned all the Members out of doors—and locked the door after him. This may be called purging —but it is " purging " with a witness.
It is said, when St. Just was going with his friends, Robespierre , and others, to the guillotine, he said in the words of Shakespeare —
"I told ye all, When first we put the dangerous knife to cutting, 'Twould fall upon our necks."
The people of the United States, or their Representatives are the only legal "Democratic Society" therein; and when one of the National Convention said, that the Convention was a Jacobin Club, he meant to express the sentiment which all Federal Republicans recognize.
St. LUCIA.
A person in a sloop from Guadalupe says that vessels are continually passing between there and St. Lucia, and that he never heard of any change in the situation of that Island except a superseded report that was circulated near 10 days before he failed.
On the 17th Sept. a vessel owned by a gentleman belonging to this town, was captured by a Bermudian pirate, within 2 miles of the light house, at the Caves of the Delaware, the Captain plundered, and the vessel and cargo carried into Bermuda, for trial, alias condemnation. For many years this nest of pirates has existed, to the disgrace of civilized society, and the shame of the power that supports them. It is time their annihilation took place.
SALEM, Oct. 21.
On Wednesday last, a deputation from the ships and the French citizens in Boston arrived in this town to pay to captain Richard Derby, of the ship Alnomaack , the compliments of their nation, for his generous services in transporting free from all expense a large number of French prisoners from Halifax. They displayed a standard upon which the name of the captain appeared over the Tree of Liberty . The cadets then upon the parade escorted them to E. H. Derby's Esq. where they were politely received and they spent the evening at Gen. Fiske's in company with the military officers of the town. There was great hilarity and the greatest good order. The French deputies gratified the company with their usual national songs, and left the kindest opinions in their favour upon the minds of the inhabitants.
PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 31.
It was mentioned that the New-York Papers of Tuesday, contained no account of the capture of a British Packet—it now appears that three packets are taken, if there is no misnomer in the business—Viz: The Portland , the Penelope , and the Antelope , and all captured by the French frigate Semillante . Last December the Antelope Packet, captured the Atalanta Privateer, as was stated in the Gazettes last Winter—the following resolution of the Merchant Seamen's Society in London, was passed on that occasion. It is not recollected that it has heretofore been republished here.
A Committee of the merchant Seamen's Society in London, after taking into consideration the very gallant behaviour of the officers and crew of his Majesty's packet the Antelope , in an action the 2d of December last, with the French privateer the Atalanta , which after a very severe engagement, was taken and carried into Jamaica: Resolved, that the officers and crew who survived the action, and the widows and children of the officers who lost their lives upon that occasion, be requested to accept the following gratuities, viz.
Fifty Guineas to the widow of Mr. Edward Curtis, the master, who was killed in the action.
Fifty Guineas to Benjamin Mitchell, mate, wounded during the action.
Fifty Guineas and a whistle, to John Pafcoe, the boatswain, who took the command, and fought the ship.
Fifty Guineas, being ten guineas each to the five children of John Austin, the steward, killed during the action.
Twenty Guineas to the widow of John Austin.
Forty Guineas, being ten guineas each, to the four children of George Sleeman, carpenter, who died of the wounds received during the action.
Thirty Guineas, being ten guineas each, to three of the seamen, wounded in the action.
Twenty Guineas to John Walpole, the surgeon.
Sixty-five Guineas, being five guineas each, to thirteen seamen.

NEW-YORK, Oct. 30.
BRITISH COMMERCE.
The following is a comparative view of the two greatest branches of the British commerce, the East and West-India trade, extracted from Mr. Edwards' celebrated History of the British Colonies in the West-Indies, vol. II. chap. iii. p. 131.
East-India Trade.
Capital employed, eighteen millions sterling. Value of goods exported annually to India and China, both by the Company and their officers, one million and a half.
Import sales by the Company, and sales under license, five millions.
Duties paid to government, customs, &c. seven hundred and ninety thousand pounds.
Chartered shipping of the Company, eight thousand tons.
West-India Trade.
Capital employed, seventy millions. Value of goods exported from Great Britain and her dependencies, including the profit of freight on the several branches of supply, insurance, &c. three millions, eight hundred thousand pounds.
Duties paid to government, one million eight hundred thousand pounds.
Shipping employed direct, one hundred and fifty thousand tons.
But the greatest difference arises from the circumstance that the trade to the West-Indies is carried on with our own
colonial possessions, which the fertile lands in the East never were nor can be considered.
The town of Newburyport, in legal town meetings, have passed a law, prohibiting any person from smoking any pipe or cigar in the streets, lanes, alleys, and on the wharves of that town, under a penalty of two shillings for every offence.
A question to puzzle Democrats.
Whence happens it that the virtuous Sans Culottes, the patriotic republicans of France, elected the worst men in that country, to represent them in the National Convention? I say, the worst men; for two thirds of them have been condemned already for treason and conspiracy, the greatest crimes in society. Such a large proportion of villains were never before elected to a legislative body in any country on earth. How happens this? Is it the fault of the electors of the elected—or of neither? The fact is a novelty—the question is difficult—and I take it none but the wise democratic heads, such as elected themselves to watch over government, are equal to its solution. An explicit answer is always due to a
FAIR QUESTION.
CARLISLE, Oct. 21.
Extract of a letter from Bedford, dated Sunday, Oct. 19th, 1794.
Yesterday about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the Governor with the residue of the Army arrived at this place. We remained at Strasburgh all day on Tuesday last, near to which the Pennsylvania troops held their elections agreeable to the law, lately passed. From Strasburgh to Littleton the army marched in one day, this is a space of near 16 miles and in the course of which it passed over 2 great mountains. In about six days the army has proceeded eighty miles, and a great part of the road is the most mountainous in America. No occurrence of any great moment has happened; some few men were indisposed and one man who had been sickly died in the camp on Siding-Hill. The exertions of the Governor, and the officers to preserve a compact and orderly march were unmitting.
Pursuant to an arrangement for this purpose, the Pennsylvania troops which formed part of the Legion and which had arrived the preceding evening met the Governor about one mile from Bedford.
He immediately took the head of the whole column and proceeded to the Town. This spectacle was superb.—It was the quota of Pennsylvania, including cavalry, infantry, artillery, and riflemen, marching in the most complete order, and brought to the spot of their destination to await the further orders of the President. Here, had the Governor the exalted satisfaction of depositing this great mass of patriotic exertion, and of evincing to the world that Pennsylvania, although taunted by some licentious men in the extremities of her extensive territory, is still amongst the foremost in public virtue and in her punctilious obedience to every continental requisition.
The encampment is very spacious. The town is the centre of an immense amphitheatre—lofty hills at a small distance appear on all sides to surround it.
The tents spread out on the cleared ground, on the basis of some of those hills, and occupying the commons adjoining the town, form, particularly at night when the fires are lighted, a very beautiful appearance.
On Saturday morning nine or ten men, who had been active in the late treasonable disturbances were apprehended by the Marshal of this State, assisted by a party of horse. Two have been committed for high treason.
WILMINGTON, (Del.) Oct. 29. MEETING OF CONGRESS.
The next meeting of Congress, which is to take place on the 3d of next month, will be interesting to a degree.
The illegal interruption of our commerce by the British pirates—
The unwarrantable tenure of our frontier posts, by the same power—
And the cringing solicitation of our Jay-bird, for a reëstablishment of OUR RIGHTS—will, it is expected, form no inconsiderable ground for discussion. Beside these, our internal concerns call loudly for the interposition of the government.
Our whiskey-bucks will be satiated, and convinced of their error, in opposing THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE—
The cause and foundation of the Indian War, will be investigated—
Our State Armies will be reformed ON THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE—
And MAN, throughout the different states of the Union, will enjoy his RIGHTS.
These measures, it is to be hoped, will be warmly supported by the friends to America's interest—
But let not the rotten members presume

to expect support in their intended motion for a STANDING ARMY .—The country has already felt the loss of mercenaries , and will now only exist under THE SMILES OF FREEMEN .
PITTSBURGH, October 25.
At a meeting of the inhabitants of the Town of Greensburgh and Township of Hempfield, in the County of Westmoreland, on Wednesday the 22d day of October, 1794, convened for the purpose of giving to the deputies who are to meet at Parkinson's Ferry on the 24th instant, such unequivocal assurances of their disposition for submission to the laws, as would enable them to propose and adopt such measures on their behalf as would be decisive in manifesting their sincere regret for, and abhorrence of the late violent measures, and of their firm determination to support and yield obedience to the constitutional laws of their country.—The following resolutions were proposed and adopted.
1st. Resolved, as the sense of this meeting, That it is the duty of every good citizen to yield obedience to the existing laws of this country.
2d. Resolved, That we discountenance all illegal acts of violence from whatever motive—and that for redress of grievances the privilege and right of the citizens is to petition, and remonstrate if necessary.
3d. Resolved, That we will support the civil authority and all officers in the lawful exercise of their respective duties; and assist in securing for legal trial all offenders against the laws when called upon.
4th. Resolved, That the citizens of this town and township will give no opposition to the opening an office of Inspection therein, should the same be contemplated by the government, and that we will use our endeavors to remove improper prejudices, and recommend a peaceable and general submission.
5th. Resolved, That a copy of the preceding resolutions be given to one or more of the deputies for the town or township who are to meet at Parkinson's Ferry on Friday the 24th instant, together with a copy of the assurance paper signed by the citizens of this meeting, in order that the same may be laid before the members of the said committee—and that another copy be made out for publication in the Pittsburgh Gazette, and that the same be attested by the chairman and clerk of this meeting.
A true copy. DAVID MARCHAND, Chairman. Attest, THOMAS HAMILTON, Clerk.
WE, the undersigned citizens of the town of Greensburgh and township of Hempfield, in the county of Westmoreland, being desirous of living in peace, and of adopting such measures as appear to us most likely to ensure the same in future, as well as to promote the real interests of the country, do severally promise, engage and certify, that we will support when legally called upon, the civil authority, and all officers in the due execution of their respective powers under the laws of the land, & give our assistance in bringing to legal trial all offenders against the laws; and further, that if an office of inspection for the entering of stills, &c. is opened in the said town or township, or in any other part of the same county, that we will give all necessary support in protecting the same against violence; and such of us as are distillers and design continuing in the same employment, promise to enter the same when such office shall be opened; and that we will use our endeavors to defeat all combinations having for object the disturbance of the public peace and opposition to the laws aforesaid. In witness whereof we have hereunto set our hands this twenty-second day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four.
A true copy. DAVID MARCHAND, Chairman. Attest, THOMAS HAMILTON, Clerk.
N. B. The above assurance or certificate was signed in the course of the evening by 420 citizens, and it is expected the same, or something similar, will be entered into and subscribed in the other townships of the county of Westmoreland; in some parts of the same a similar assurance has been given, and in all it is expected a compliance will take place immediately.

SAGG-HARBOR, (Long-Island) October 23.
It with pleasure we mention the men as minute-men; are raised in the regiment commanded by Col. Benjamin Huntington. In particular that Capt. Abraham Gardiner's company turned out double their proportion volunteers, and all offered themselves if necessary, and a number of other companies turned out a part of their quota. The whole was conducted with peace and harmony, all seemed determined to support the laws of their country.
WHITESTOWN, Oct. 22.
A gentleman of veracity from the westward informs, that Brandt, the celebrated Indian Chief and warrior, has declared himself an enemy to the United States, and has actually put himself at the head of 200 chosen warriors of the Six Nations, and marched to join the combined Indians opposed to the Federal army under General Wayne.
When setting out, Brandt is said to have declared, that success had ever attended his enterprises, and that the moment he could give a general defeat to Gen. Wayne's army, he would be ready and willing to die.
Gen. Wayne's successes have gained him the ill will of all Upper Canada, as it renders the Indians more exorbitant in their demands for supplies, &c. to be furnished from the British stores. Governor Simcoe is known to curbe his good luck (as he terms it.)
REDEMPTION OF AMERICAN CAPTIVES AT ALGIERS.
ADDRESS
To the People of the United States of America.
My dear Fellow-Citizens,
THE Plague, that terrible scourge from Heaven, now rages in Algiers. Our fellow-citizens at work with crowds in the streets, by day, and confined in prison at night, are much more exposed than persons who are at large, to fall amongst its first victims. Already their number is diminished to one hundred and six. On the 13th of June, Capt. M c Shane was struck with its fatal symptoms, on the 16th he expired. Every letter will probably bring information of the death of one or another of the captives who was well known to many, peculiarly dear to some of you. If suffered to be thus daily thinned in number, death may at last be deemed less dreadful by the miserable remnant of survivors, than dereliction and despair. After a few annual visitations of that malady, perhaps few will be left for you to redeem.
Upon a representation made to me by all the American masters in captivity at Algiers, of the progress which the plague was making towards that city of human misery; in the month of January last, I authorised Mr. Montgomery, consul of the United States at Alicante, (in case that dreadful disorder should find its way among them,) to advance from the money of the United States in his hands, a sufficient sum for hiring a country house in the vicinity of the city of Algiers, in order to endeavor to separate from those infected with the plague and to keep out of danger the Americans in general, or if that indulgence could not be obtained for all, the masters and mates in particular. And it was hoped that a sense of interest might operate with the feelings of humanity in the concession of this favor.
In the mean time, I had more than once written in earnest terms to the Swedish consul, soliciting his kind protection and good offices for the friendless Americans in captivity at Algiers. The Swedish consul has made repeated applications to the Dey, that permission might be granted for the American masters, mates, &c. to be withdrawn from the marine (under his responsibility) and removed to a place of less danger during the continuance of the plague. The Dey at first refused to acknowledge that the plague was at Algiers, he next declared that the services of the slaves were indispensably necessary at the public works, that the Americans had been but a very lit-
tle time in slavery, and finally that he would not permit them under any pretext whatever to be taken from their tasks and separated from the rest of the slaves.
Thus our brave fellow citizens (some of whom fought the battles which established our Independence) are literally in chains. During the day time, they are driven by cruel stripes to perform (with little or no intermission) the severest kinds of labor, and not unfrequently compelled to carry heavy burdens beyond their strength. At night, when their drudgery is done, they, together with the slaves of different nations, are crowded promiscuously into close prisons; which, from the confined state of the air, are but too well calculated to propagate the contagion.—Imagination can place before the mental eye the horror of such a situation, better than description.
However wise or proper the policy might formerly have been to decline ransoming our citizens from slavery at Algiers, until a peace could be negotiated with that Regency; at present it appears to me, the principal political reasons on which that policy was founded have ceased to exist. In future, we must either be at peace with that Regency or keep up a naval force adequate to the protection of our commerce against their depredations. In either case, the specific sum which may be given for the ransom of our citizens cannot be of that pernicious consequence which was apprehended by being drawn into precedent hereafter, or encircling the capture of our vessels by exciting the cupidity of those Rovers to go especially in quest of them. Other nations (some in making peace, others in continuing war) have set the example by paying the sums demanded for the release of their subjects or citizens from captivity. Nor do I know of any impediment to prevent the redemption of our citizens (although a peace should not be obtained) if sufficient money shall be raised for the purpose: Probably the sum necessary will amount to between two and three hundred thousand dollars, perhaps including duties and charges nearest to the latter. Knowledge of the circumstances and address in the application would however be highly requisite in the management of this thorny business.
To raise the necessary sum of money a state lottery has been proposed—or if there should be any insuperable objections to that measure—it is to be hoped that the individual states will grant particular lotteries for the purpose. Let this any more feasible plan be adopted; and I ask is there within the limits of the United States an individual who will not cheerfully contribute, in proportion to his means, to carry it into effect.
Citizens of the United States of America! You have it in your power to rescue your forlorn fellow-citizens from a premature death, which without your intervention in their favour, seems inevitable. It is time to make effectual exertions. In the name of every thing that is dear and sacred, suffer me to urge that you will exert yourselves on this affecting occasion, in the same manner which you would with others to do for you if you were plunged from your present pinnacle of prosperity into such a gulph of despair. By the peculiar blessings of freedom which you enjoy by the disinterested sacrifices you made for its attainment, by the patriotic blood of those martyrs of liberty who died to secure your independence and by all the tender ties of nature let me conjure you once more, to snatch your unfortunate countrymen from fetters, dungeons and death.
D. HUMPHREYS. Late Commissioner Plenipotentiary from the United States of America to the Dey and Regency of Algiers. Lisbon, July 11, 1794.
From the Minerva.
To THOMAS GREENLEAF and JOHN FELLOWS, Jun.
In answer to your remarks in the Minerva of Saturday.
It is very immaterial whether you ever read the Annual Register or not—or whether you took your second volume of history from that work in the first instance, or at second, third or fourth hand. It is sufficient that that part of your history which I scrutinized was All taken from the Annual Register—that the history is mutilated, and that you have had a share in the business of curtailing and omitting. Whether you have done the whole, or one half, or a fourth; or whether other compilers have done a part to your hands, I am not to enquire. The business is done, and you have acknowledg-
ed yourselves guilty of some part of it. Indeed the re-publication of such a miserable performance, renders you accessory to the whole mischief. It is not illiberal reflections alone that are omitted as you insinuate; the most material facts, in many places, are omitted, and uniformly those facts which dishonor the Jacobins. No man who trusts for information to your history alone, will know the truth, as far as it may be known—Many public, acknowledged and important facts cannot there be found.
But the following declaration of your own, will be the best impeachment of your conduct and will fully supersede any further remarks. You say "This history then which came to us in a dress, calculated to gratify the rancor of the enemies of liberty, and to disgust the great body of the American people, who are friends to the French Revolution, we have endeavored to suit it, in expression, to the meridian of the free country in which we publish it." This, my fellow-citizens, is all I laid to your charge. The history came to you, as a history of facts—the horrid deeds of the Jacobins are there related—these are calculated to gratify the enemies of the Jacobins indeed, and to disgust the American people and fill them with an abhorrence of Jacobin Clubs—Therefore the most atrocious of their horrid deeds are omitted—and by this omission you have suited the work to answer the purposes of your party.
This is the amount of your own confession. Was guilt ever more completely betrayed by folly? Is history then, which ought to be as impartial and as uniform thro' the world as truth itself; is history to be suited to the meridian where it is published? Is history like a man's dress, to be suited to climate? Is every compiler at liberty to select what he thinks will please and reject what he thinks will disgust his readers? Is this your principle? Is this your conduct? Is this your confession? Is such your apology for imposing on the public? Reflect with what emotions of indignation the American People will receive this acknowledgment of yours? I repeat this astonishing sentiment; is history to be suited to the meridian of every country? Is history to be degraded from the throne of truth, where she sits above the passions and prejudices of men, to be employed, like puppets and merry Andrews, for the amusement of the company, and a catchpenny for the Master-Juggler? No comments are necessary here—the public will pronounce a just sentence on your own confession.
In answer to your remark in the Minerva of Monday, I have only to add that your weak apology for the few omissions specified amounts to this—that you do not believe or do not like, the facts related in the original. And it is remarkable, that the facts omitted, and which have not been specified by you or me in this controversy, and all on one side. They all tend directly or indirectly to show the world, that most of the calamities of France ought to be ascribed to the Jacobin Clubs, certain aristocratic juntas, who armed a mob in Paris to commit the murders of August 10th, and September 2d and 3d, and who have ruled France for two years with a rod of iron. These ferocious men you call patriots. Thanks be to Kind Heaven, most of them have suffered for their crimes on a scaffold. You may call them patriots, if you please:—but they have perished as traitors and tyrants. The crimes of these clubs are numberless; they ought not to be concealed from the American public.
I am not an Abettor of Monarchy—I am a Republican, an American who served my Country as a Soldier, and who am determined while I can speak, or write, to maintain the Government of the United States against Monarchy and your secret Aristocratic intrigues in Party Clubs.
ARGUS. Note. Well, your history is suited to the meridian of your country, is it?

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.
The Ministry of Great Britain, and the people who have armed and taken measures to guard against the proceedings of the revolutionary party in that country, have been constantly sneered at for their apprehensions, and by way of contempt have been called Alarmists . It appears however by a publication in the Philadelphia Gazette, of one, who "had the best opportunities to be informed of the views and motives of the party" concerned, that "more was meant than met the ear"—that "a conspiracy was actually formed [in Edinburgh] to seize upon the City Guard House, and at the same time parties were to be detached to arrest in their beds, the obnoxious characters, such as the Judges, the Lord Advocate, and some others.
"There is not the least doubt that these persons would have been massacred by what is called, in that country, Fedburgh Justice ."
If the foregoing is a statement of facts, the measures adopted by the Alarmists have probably served to prevent a "Septemberizing" of many thousands of the people of Great Britain.

Forty dollars reward.
RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on Saturday night the 11th inst.
A Mulatto Lad,
named Bill, generally called Bill Madden, about 17 or 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a slim make, has dark black hair, which he sometimes wears tied, but generally loose; he has been accustomed to wait altogether in a house, and having been much indulged, has become too idle to work for a support. He took with him a brown fustian double breasted long coat, one drab cloth coat, with red cuffs and cape, the pocket flaps and skirts trimmed with red edge, a fustian waistcoat a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trowsers, and several other cloaths, also a pair of boots, half-boots. It is probable he has a forged pass, and will endeavour to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their passage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia.
The above reward will be paid to any person delivering him to the said Subscriber, or to any reasonable charges for bringing him home.
