Distant Subscribers For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next.

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.

VERSES TO THE MORNING.
By Mrs MARRIOTT.
Wake my fairest Aurora, thy blushes unfold, And glance thro' my curtains thy soft cheering ray; Be thy canopy deck'd with bright crimson and gold. Chase the dews of chill night from each flow'ry bed. As when o'er yon blue hill thou so lovely appears, Then I open my lattice to hail thee, sweet morn; But ah! like the wan lily I hail thee in tears. For the songstrels of night is not half so forlorn. When Aurora thou'rt present I faintly look gay; Then a glim'ring of joy spreads over my face; Let thy bright beams dispel all my sorrows away. Haste and bring me, O bring me the balm of ease. Bright Aurora thou'rt seen me bound over the plain, With joy snatching wild roses the child of delight; But now, ah! laid reverse, the keen arrows of pain, Have been shot thro' my heart by the Demon of Spite. No longer I warble my wild rustic lay, Which I sung all delighted to the rippling stream; But with silent affliction, and grief pine away, Like the spectre of anguish, pale anguish I look.
From the Western Star.
THE CORDWAINER—No. IX.
Dost thou not perceive, courteous reader, that the Cordwainer has caught somewhat of the spirit of his illustrious pattern! He cannot, indeed, conjure up such a scene of enchantment about thee, and transform thy shadow to a giant; but mark, I pray thee, how bold and unconfined he is, not tethered by prejudice to place or time, but embracing all nations and all ages. Wouldst thou be surprised should he devote some future lucubrations, as perhaps he may, to a few political hints to the Chinese, and some paternal advice to potteries of the Ninety-Ninth century?
The Cordwainer at this time presents his compliments to the King of Great Britain, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. Burke, and begs permission of his Most Sacred Majesty, and their Right Honorables, to offer a few suggestions.
And how goes the state-game, my sweet Jockeys? Mind your hand, I pray you. Why sure ye are playing your Trumps, when an humbler suit would serve you better. Are ye not in your nine-holes, that your Honors shall count you nothing, and all depends upon your success in tricks? It was, however, certainly good play to lead out that Ace of Trumps, young Frederick, into Flanders; and mercy! what havoc does he make among their Deuces and Treys! But he! he! ye had better be asleep, than be playing off your Botany-Boys to such a lead. Take my word for it, ye had better stock the hand; call home Muir and Palmer; invite back Rowan; pay the two former a guinea a hair for shaving their heads, to enable them to buy wigs, and place the latter under the droppings of your overflowing Treasury.
A fiddle-stick for your puppet-shews! Away with your cob-web pageanties of state-jugglery. Be advised, friend George, not to shut out the Ambassadors of Reason, because Frenchmen have invested it with the spoils of Religion and Royalty, and made it their God and their King. Reason is Reason still; and if all men do not choose to run lunatic like Mr. Paine and the Jacobin Club, depend upon it, mankind will not be always cajoled and fingered out of its more sober influences. It is already too late to play the old game. The Rabble has got such topping notions about their having souls, and being made of the same stuff, as they say, with kings and lords, that they are not to be saddled, fleeced, and herded any longer. In short, if nothing less than absolute sway and divine right will go down with you, my advice is to buy you a retired farm, turn grazier, and make and administer laws to your horses, oxen, sheep and Hogs.
Oddsfearth! I have a rare project for thee Billy Pitt. If people will be seditious, and talk saucily about liberty and reforms, make them pay for it—that will curb them. Bid the Lord
Advocate forbear; and pass a law laying an Excise on certain seditious words. Surely it will be systematic; for sedition is clearly a luxury. This will be bringing them up fore and aft, as the sailors lay. If they stop trade, and shut up shop upon it, touch them up with the old game; if they are obdurate, and choose to continue brawling, it shall add another fair item to your budget of ways and means.
I would proportion the duty to the enormity of the expression, from a guinea to a groat. For instance, "the Rights of Man," "Liberty and Equality," and the like, should form a class for the first; intermediate classes to consist of such expressions as "French revolution," "Friends of the People," "Burthen of taxes," "Parliamentary Reform," and so on, down to a four penny "Equal Representation." As for thee, friend Burke, I advise thee to lay down the pen.
"Since the world is so mad we can hope for no cure." Would you follow any more that weasel, Paine? Why, man, you will want half a dozen Jackals to keep you on the scent. And what signifies it to spend your brains and your ink upon France? You might as well preach to a wind-mill. If you shew your credentials, and plead the authority of Kings, they will point to the guillotine. If you talk to them of the fitness of things, and should chance to say a word about Reason, they will instantly jion issue with you, and shew you a fantastical figure, which they call by that name, dressed out in the French taste, with a feather, cap and bells. If you lengthen your face, and mention French Convention with rite and move an amendment to the Decalogue with as much assurance as he would a decree to abolish Letters de Cachet. In short, they require a different species of Rhetoric. No argument short of Gun-Powder will prevail with them; and, believe me, your hopeful Rhetorician is the Duke of York.
Foreign Intelligence.
COBLENTZ, August 14.
Three weeks since, the French had begun to assemble in force near Saarlouis and Thionville; and at Treves it was not even thought of taking any measures, in consequence of this intelligence, or to apply for speedy assistance. The elector informed of the danger of his capital by one of his messengers on his return from Luxembourg, requested succours of his brother [Duke Albert of Sax-Teschen late governor of the Netherlands] the commander in chief of the army of the German empire, who allowed him the contingent of the elector of Cologne and that of the upper Rhine. These German troops proceeded but slowly and before they arrived at the place appointed, a deserter who was an aid-de-camp of the French General, had informed the imperialists of the whole plan of the enemy, and told them with an affected air of compassion that 60,000 Carmagnols would soon make their appearance. The deserter had told the truth, but the statement of the number of the enemies was exaggerated. All was now confusion.
On the 8th the enemy approached in two columns; the first between Treves and Luxembourg, in order to stop the communication between those two places, and to effect a passage over Conzerbruck [the bridge of Conz over the river Sarre] the second column advanced against the formidable intrenchments near Pellingen, raised by the late General Brontano.
The bridge was only defended by two cannon loaded with grape shot, and a few Imperialists, who fought like heroes, and beat off the enemy four times; but the chief attack of the French was directed against the redoubts of Pellingen, which were only occupied by an incomplete battalion of Manfredini and 200 Croats. The largest redoubt was formerly always provided with 12 guns, and now only with 4 of a small caliber. However, the battalion of Manfredini and the Croats, according to an unanimous report, kept this post like rocks, and disappointed four times the furious horde of the French in carrying the redoubt by storm.
One division [about 400] of hussars of Wurmsler attacked with unparalleled bravery, a numerous body of the enemy's cavalry, drawn up in order of battle; nothing could resist the intrepidity of those famous hussars; they dispersed this phalanx, they supported sword in hand the infantry, whose bodies covered the field of action. One of the Carmagnols having succeeded at last to mount on the parapet of the redoubt, informed the rest of the small number
of our troops, when it was found impossible to resist any longer.
The contingent of the elector of Cologne at least 1500 men strong was not ordered by Gen. Blankenstein, to advance till the intrenchments were taken; the elector of Treves' contingent was posted in such a manner, as not to be exposed to the fire of the enemy except the Chasseurs, who behaved very well. According to report the enemy's loss amounts to 3000 killed. On our side the battalion of Manfredini lost 9 officers [of 20] among these two captains.
Our troops made their retreat to Wellich about 2 miles from Treves where Prussian troops are arrived; another Prussian corps commanded by Gen. Kalkreuth directed its march over the Hundsruck [a mountainous part of the electorate of Treves] towards Treves. Every one flies from here. The imperial hospital and all that belongs to the army is sent off to-day. No intelligence at all from Treves.
HAGUE, August 19
Last Friday, the 15th, arrived at Rotterdam, the count d'Artois, without any suite, and yesterday he went on board a ship to take his passage for England. The principal French emigrants, Baron de Breteuil, the Duke de Viss, the Duke of Crussol and the keeper of the seal Barentin, paid the day before yesterday, a visit to the above Prince.
VIENNA, August 13.
It is said the Emperor will set out for Hungary and that the whole nobility of that kingdom are to be in a state of requisition.
It is very disagreeable, to see among the number of those lately arrested here, as dangerous to the country, many persons of authority and talents.
LONDON, August 23.
On Thursday night there was an attempt made to raise a riot in St. George's Field, at the milk house, the corner of the London Road, the master of which is a temporary sergeant, to recruit for some of the volunteer corps; but by the spirited behaviour of the recruits, soldiers, and light horse volunteers in that quarter, the incendiaries did not proceed to their intended acts of violence. It was evidently apparent that the mob was led on by persons above the common rank, whose sole aim is, if possible, under the idea of some pretended grievance, to raise a general riot in the metropolis. The public should, therefore, be on their guard, and narrowly watch these revolutionary plunderers, who, if once assembled en masse, might commit much depredation before they were stopped in the career of their robberies. As some persons in those mobs frequently cry out, LIBERTY, FRATERNITY AND PEACE WITH FRANCE, it is an easy matter to conjecture by what party they are encouraged thus illegally to assemble, and wantonly insult the law and constitution of their country. It is yet fresh in the memory of the Citizens of London, to what a pitch the wickedness of the mobs in June 1780 arose, and what devastation they committed, for want of a proper severity in government to oppose them at first. Had those who pulled down the Sardinian Ambassador's chapel been fired upon by the guards, and pursued by the horse until they were completely defeated, there the riot would have ceased. But an ill-timed lenity encouraged the insurgents to proceed, and produced that wide spreading devastation which followed. Let us profit from precept, and be warned by example.
August 24.
The foreign mails due had not arrived when this paper went to press; but by a letter from Dover, received yesterday morning, we learn that the siege of Sluys is not yet actually raised, though the enemy seem to have abandoned the hope, by the feebleness of their operations, of being able to make any serious impression on the place.
The first division of the 82d regiment of foot marched from Windsor for Portsmouth, and will be followed this day and to-morrow by the remainder. They are destined for the West-Indies. Lieut. Col. Aston goes with the regiment, accompanied by his lady.
The fatal ravages of the yellow fever in the West-India Islands are unabated, and the mortality among our troops and seamen has been considerable. Of Sir Charles Grey's household, a black servant, it is said, is the only person who has not been carried off by it.
The Earl of Moira has agreed to resume a command in the army.
On the 9th inst. the French, after a bloody engagement, carried the intrenchments of Treves, and took possession of the town. Coblentz is now in eminent danger, and the inhabitants are flying with their effects.
A very respectable merchant in the city has received letters from Lisbon, which mention that Lord Hood has burnt seven sail of the line, seven frigates, and six transports.
We are happy to find, that through the returning good sense of the people, the disposition to riot is much abated. On Friday the vestries of St. Margaret were assembled, and on the propriety of the respectable inhabitants taking an active part in the maintenance of public tranquility they were unanimous.
The following intelligence is received at Lloyd's—The Speculator, from Martinico, was boarded on Tuesday last by a privateer from Guernsey, who informed the Captain, that he had learnt from an American vessel, that the Belmont Indiaman was in the possession of three French frigates on Sunday last.
Yesterday a number of volunteers were sent off from the Tower to the fleet at Spithead, under command of Earl Howe, now ready to put to sea on the shortest notice.
UNITED STATES.
GEORGE-TOWN, Oct. 10.
Extract of a letter from M. Skjoldebrand Algiers, dated March 29, 1794, to John Parish, Esq. Consul at Hamburgh.
Consul Duff of Cadiz has favoured me with a duplicate of your letter to him dated Hamburg the 22d November 1793, requiring that the amount of three hundred and fifty pound sterling might be given to the Americans, that might unfortunately be captured by the Algerines. I have communicated your generous and human offer to the American masters, who return you their sincerely thanks and observe that a provision is monthly allowed them; but, independent of this provision, the money you offer towards humanity might be appropriated to render their situation more comfortable.
The same time they observe, that if the money you offer is to be charged to the account of it, as a provision is established for their support, but as subscriptions are collecting in Lisbon and other ports to alleviate more effectually the sufferings of those American captives, I presume by their non-acceptance of your generous offer, that it might be prejudicial and deter others from contributing to their relief and release.
By the inclosed list you will be informed of the number of Americans, at present in captivity; in consequence of the truce with Portugal; the peace to all appearance will not take place.
I shall be very happy in your further commands on this subject, and be assured Sir of my exertions in the cause of humanity.

Extract from the Maryland Gazette of the 16th instant.
Actions speak much louder than words, and are the best criterion to form an opinion of the human mind. When I behold aspiring men, with few or no recommendations of their own, but their profession of patriotism, and a general reprobation of government, I cannot help entertaining some doubt of their merit; when I see them enjoin the multitude with the sounds of democracy and aristocracy, liberty and equality, I question the purity of their intentions, and whether their action correspond with their professions, whether they are actuated by public virtue or private ambition, and I am induced to bring the matter to a test in making the following queries: if they are men of families, I trace them home; if they are single men, I trace their private characters; are they good citizens? are they indulgent masters? are they humane to their slaves? do they support the laws of their country? are they benevolent to the human race? do they shew a disposition of philanthropy to all mankind? these are the true characteristics of republicanism; if they are men of this character, they are entitled to the public confidence, and the end sanctifies the means—But reverse the question; are they domestic tyrants? are they cruel and barbarous to their slaves? are they violators of the laws of their country? are they despotic in private life? these are the true characteristics of tyranny; if they come under the latter denomination, they may, by profession, be democrats, or what you please, but in principle, tyrants. The human mind may be improved, the dispositions may be checked, but these passions, which in small circles characterize philanthropy or tyranny, cannot be destroyed in larger ones, because nature will be always inclined to run in her usual channel; to suppose the contrary would be supposing a natural and moral impossibility; it would not only presume a change in the disposition, but in human nature itself, which is immutable. A man distinguished for republican principles in his family & to dependents, the presumption is strong, that he will exercise them when his country may require them in a larger circle, & on a more extensive scale. But that a domestic tyrant, when vested with a greater authority, will become a true republican, requires something more than a change in the human mind.

REVOLUTIONARY CONSTITUTION
OF THE
FRENCH REPUBLIC.
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
August 5.
CAMBON, after exposing the arts by which the tyrant Robespierre, aided by the Jacobins, had continued to accumulate all power in the hands of the Committee of Public Safety; and shewing the errors in the organization of the various Committees, presented the following Decree, which was adopted by the Convention.
DECREE, &c.
ARTICLE 1. The Committee of Public Safety shall assume the name of "The Central Committee of Government." It shall be composed of twelve members, to be renewed every month, and not eligible again till after the interval of a month.
2. This Committee shall be under the direct inspection of the "Committee of Foreign Affairs," and cannot dispose of any of the public funds except for the secret services of government. For this purpose it shall have upon the National Treasury a credit of ten millions. The credit which it had formerly, and is hitherto unemployed, is hereby withdrawn.
3. The Committee of Surety and Superintendence, shall take the name of
"The Committee of the General Police of the Republic." It shall consist of fifteen members. It shall, independent of the Convention, have alone the power of arresting citizens. For issuing warrants of arrest against public functionaries, it shall act in concert with the Committee charged with the superintendence of the Administration to which such functionary may belong.
4. It shall neither send to trial those who have been arrested, nor liberate those sentenced by the popular Commissions without being in concert with the central Committee of Government.
5. The commission of Civil affairs of Police, and the Tribunals, shall make to it a daily report of the Police and the interior security of the Republic.
6. It shall have under its immediate inspection, the Police and armed force of Paris, the Revolutionary Tribunal, the Committees of Superintendence of the republic, and the popular commissions.

A committee of Legislation, composed of fifteen members which shall have the superintendence of the commission of civil Administrations, the police and the Tribunals, according to the report of the Tribunals and administrative bodies, shall be charged with the revision and classification of the laws, and the details respecting the territorial divisions of the Republic.  12. A committee of Inspectors of the process-verbeaux, consisting of fifteen members, is charged with superintending the transcription of the acts of the Convention in its offices and archives, the National Press and the commission of civil Administrations. 
Art. 11. There shall also be a committee of Inspectors of the hall, composed of fifteen members, exclusively charged with the Police within the limits of the Convention, the committees, and the national garden. It shall regulate the expenses of the National Convention and its archives, as well as those of the committees, also the travelling expenses of the Representatives of the people, sent to the departments of the armies.
12. It shall verify and adjust the accounts relative to the aforesaid expenses; and the resolution of that Committee, declaring its verification of the expenses of the Representatives of the people amounting to such a sum shall be allowed as an admission of that account.
13. The National Treasury shall give it credit for three millions, to be employed in such expenses in the aforesaid payments; and all former credit hitherto unemployed, is withdrawn.
14. Every Executive Commission shall give a daily account of its proceedings to the Committee, charged with its inspection, and shall propose to it the difficulties to be surmounted, and the means of removing them. It shall also submit, for the approbation of the committee, the agents nominated for the execution of its order.
15. The commissioners shall lay every day before the committee for inspecting the public expenditures and revenue, a detailed account of the expenses incurred in the course of the day.
16. The committees shall directly propose to the Convention all legislative objects, after having previously communicated them to the central committee of government. They shall concert with that committee thro' the medium of one of its members, who shall be charged to report the executive objects discussed in the committee.
17. All executive objects shall be definitely settled by the Central committee of government, which shall be responsible for the resolutions it may take.
The resolutions shall be signed by at least six members of the central committee, and by the commissioner of the committee who shall make the report.

But the members who shall assist in such deliberations shall make an immediate report of it to the General Committee.
20. The Convention shall itself nominate the Representatives of the People to be sent on any commission, the Generals, the members of the Executive Commission, the members of the Revolutionary Tribunal, and Popular Commissions, on the propositions of the Central Committee of Government, united with the committee charged with what relates to that particular object.
21. The National Convention alone has power to recall the Representatives of the people sent upon commission.

LONDON.
From a variety of applications which were made to the seat of Sir James Sanderson's honor in the course of the retreat from Guildhall on Tuesday, we are told that the worthy Knight has been rendered as scientific, as the persons described by Hudibras, who have been
"Kick'd until they can feel whether, The shoe be Spanish or Neat's leather." Had the recent circumstances of a man jumping from the top of a house to avoid being dragged to the field of glory happened at Paris instead of London what an ample field would some people have had to expatiate on the dreadful situation of a country, where such means were necessary to recruit the army! What a decided inference would have been drawn of the sense of the people as to the prosecution of the War! What a strong argument in favour of a Counter-Revolution being to take place!

Just arrived in this Port, the Brig Jenny from Glasgow, prize to a French squadron of six or seven sail of large frigates. The Captain and Crew, that came in the Jenny are Americans, who failed in a vessel bound from an Eastern port to Bilbao, which vessel was taken by this squadron and was manned for France.
The Americans were taken on board the squadron, where they continued about three weeks, during which time, the squadron took eleven prizes and burnt them all. When the Jenny fell into their hands, she was given up to the Captain and crew, who have arrived here this day. This is the best account we have been able to obtain respecting the prize and the French squadron on our coast.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in St. Marc, to a merchant in this city, dated 28th September, 1794.
"This place has been a scene of horror for 17 days past—having been attacked by the Brigands, who have however been repulsed with great loss on their side—and we have received reinforcements which perhaps may tend to restore quiet."
So much for the story of the French having taken St. Marc's, and put 700 of the English to the sword, as per accounts from Baltimore, in the Philadelphia Gazette of last evening.

REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.
This subject is a theme of genera conversation, and furnishes an inexhaustible fund of useful reflections. Men of all nations, who have enlarged ideas of social happiness, have been looking upon that event, as most propitious to the progress of truth, reason, science, freedom, and national improvements. The ardor of their wishes is still the same, tho' their hopes have been damped by the scenes of blood and tyranny which have been exhibited, during the progress of the revolution.
What then have been the causes of the sanguinary, and irregular proceedings of the legislators of France, which have abated the ardor of our hopes, and wounded the feelings of all good men? This is certainly an enquiry of vast magnitude; and a satisfactory elucidation of this point, will be a valuable acquisition to the statesmen of all countries.
Men whose minds are warped by prejudice, and who never examine causes while the events please them, say "All the severe measures of the ruling powers in France have been occasioned by the combination of tyrants to destroy the liberties of the French, or by internal treachery." With these people all the sanguinary proceedings in that country are deemed necessary; and therefore justifiable.
I admit in the first place, that whether such measures are necessary or not, it is clearly good policy in the Convention to make the people of France believe them so; and the deception, if it is one, will spread among the advocates of the cause, in other countries. I admit, in the second place, that it is probable much of the violence committed in France may be justly attributed to the league of half the nations of Europe, for the purpose of suppressing the revolution. But a careful examination of this subject will probably satisfy any candid enquirer after truth, that most of the violence committed, and miseries suffered in France, during the revolution, have been occasioned by bad management; that is by errors which might have been avoided, had the legislators of that country been less precipitate in some of their most important steps; more governed by the maxims of experience, and less by their own passions, or visionary ideas of the theoretical forms of government, or had the revolution happened under more auspicious circumstances.
One of the first and most material errors committed by the Constituent Assembly, was to create a legislature with a single house. I believe it was not only proper but necessary, that all the different orders of men, chosen to compose the Constituent Assembly, should meet in one house, otherwise the Nobles and Clergy would have negatived every act that should entrench on their exclusive and independent jurisdiction; and without abolishing many of their privileges, the revolution would have been incomplete, and probably useless.
But these orders being once abolished, and the men of rank all reduced and blended with other citizens, in point of rights, it should have been the first article of the constitution, to erect an elective Senate, to be composed of any citizens whatever, and no way distinguished from the members of the other house but by their more venerable age.
Their neglect of this article in the fundamental Code, in defiance of the experience of two thousand years, and the recent experience of America, was a proof of their contempt of old maxims and hoary headed experience, for which France has ever since been bleeding at every pore. A venerable senate is the rock of political safety to all free states. When elective, it is not an aristocracy; it is a representative body.—And a division of the legislature into two branches is intended almost solely to aid and temper discussion and to restrain passions and precipitance. The history of the convention for three years past is one tissue of facts to illustrate the utility of such a division; and has done more to confirm Mr. Adams's doctrine of checks and balances in government, than a hundred folios of labored disquisition.—

Select Stories,
For the instruction and amusement of Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin
Extra from the Preface.
To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rig- idly separated both from the slightest ap- proach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more rarely praised than ini- tiated. The art of amusing children, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is rais- ed and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the uti- lity of such an undertaking is acknowledg- ed, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem.
Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature.
Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valu- able substitute (whichever may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author.
At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be had the following

To which is subjoined an ODE inscribed to John Howard, by William Hayley, Esq.
FROM realus to realus, with cros or crescent crown'd,
Where'er mankind and misery are found,
Or burning sands, deep wares, or wilds of snow,
Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe.
Down many a winding step to dungeons dank,
Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank:
To caves besrew'd with many a mould'ring bone,
And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan;
—Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire,
And mur'm'ring demons hate him, and ad- mire.
