The result furnished a majority for JOHN JAY, as Governor, one thousand five hundred and eighty. S. V. Rensselaer, Lt. Governor, six hundred and fifty-two.

By a Savannah paper of the 21st inst. it appears that a convention of the state of Georgia had met on the 16th, at Louisville. Several resolutions were adopted; one respecting the petitions which complain of the sale of the Western lands by the legislature of that state, in December last, as follows:
Resolved, as the opinion of this Convention, that, from the numbers, respectability, & grounds of complaint, stated in the sundry petitions laid before them, this is a subject of importance meriting legislative deliberation."
The Convention has also ordered that Louisville shall be the permanent seat of government; and that the governor, secretary of the state, the treasurer, the auditor and the surveyor-general, do remove their offices thereto, as soon as may be convenient, and previously to the next meeting of the general legislature.
In the Romeo came the following passengers:
The Hon. Jacob Read, Senator for South-Carolina, in the Congress of the United States, his lady and family.

CHARLESTON, May 26.
The proceedings of the National Convention of France which follow this paragraph are taken from a Paris paper of the 4th of April, which a gentleman of this city received by the Carolina Planter from Dunkirk. As we have not the papers of the day immediately preceding the 4th of April, we are not able to give a very clear account; but from what we have seen it appears that considerable commotions took place in Paris, during the three first days of April, which arose from the proceedings of the Convention on the report of the commission of twenty-one respecting Barrere, Collot d'Herbois, Billaud Varennes, and Vadier, whom we suppose to be the accused members alluded to in the details we have given. There appears to be a strong party in the Convention who think well of these men, and some individuals have been arrested in consequence of the part they took in their defence. The papers we have do not mention at what time General Pichegru arrived in Paris; but it is to be presumed, that he went there in order to consult with the committees on the future plans of the war, and that they made use of his influence to quell the tumults caused by a decree which ordered the accused and detained members to be conveyed to the castle of Ham, in a town of the same name in Picardy, about 50 miles north of Paris. This castle is a round tower, the walls of which are 36 feet thick. Some expressions contained in the Paris papers give reason to suppose that the Convention have ordered the accused deputies to be confined in the castle of Ham until the primary assemblies of France are convened and shall pronounce their fate.

FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION, 14 Germinal, March 3.
A deputation of the section of l'Homme Armé came to solicitate the Assembly on its decree, by which it adopted the previous question on the convoking of the primary assemblies. The orator traced rapidly the table of the engagements which the Convention had yet to fulfil; and is it at this moment, said he, that you will quit your post? No, not continue to merit the confidence of the country, and give her happiness, abundance and peace.
This address was received amidst unanimous applause.
Craffoux demanded wherefore they eluded continually a demand so repeatedly brought forward, so reasonable, and so proper to calm the inquietudes of the good citizens; that of printing a list of the detained, and the motives of their arrest? It is, said he, because royalism is busy in all parts. (Murmurs.)
Ruamps. Yes, yes; and the Museadins
also; and Monnot will tell you that the committee of general security has given them 30,000 to assassinate us.
It is certain, cried a member, that the present government will destroy France. Craffoux continued. It is no longer in virtue of laws that imprisonments are made; many are made without motives; the motives for others are, that a person in his section had his fear on one side, instead of the other. I demand that we do not confine ourselves to making a declaration, but that we put principles in execution, and that the committee of general security be bound to make a report on this subject.
The observations of Craffoux were accompanied by the most violent tumult. The president put on his hat. Bourgeois ran to the tribune; he was unanimously received.
Goymard obtained leave to speak to a motion of order; he added, that it was by declaring incessantly against the government, that they destroyed all confidence, and revived the Convention itself. He demanded, that in all deliberations the Convention should be a slave to its rules, to the end that passions, personalities, and private interests, may no longer take place of the public good.
Penieres requested the assembly not to destroy itself in its own bosom, but to open its eyes on the situation of France.
Pessard. No re-union without the liberty of the patriots.
Perrien. A great number of citizens of Paris present themselves at the doors of the assembly. I am persuaded that you will remedy their complaints, and I announce to you that the committees come at this instant to propose measures to you to quiet the good citizens, and to favour the arrival of subsistences.
The section of Unity entered, and demanded, 1st. The punishment of the great culprits who had sullied the name of representatives of the people. 2d. Means to rid the national representation of ignorance, unskillfulness, and peculation. (Murmurs.)
3d. A solemn discussion on the article introduced into the Constitution, which permits re-union under the name of popular societies.
The assembly decreed honourable mention, and insertion in the bulletin.
Thuriot rose to point out the errors, which he said existed in this petition. They will, says he, to modify the Constitution. The assembly supported its decree.
Boissy d'Anglas brought forward a report on subsistences. A great noise was heard without: a great number of citizens entered the hall, crying, Vive la Republique. The President put on his hat. The hall was filled: Bread, bread, Vive la Republique. The Convention rose in mass, and repeated this last cry. Many members demanded leave to speak; the tumult prevented them for a long time.
Legendre was heard. The evil minded said he—He was immediately interrupted.
Merlin of Thionville. The citizens whom you see here, inform me that they have come with no evil intentions—(No, no)—but that they have united in mass, the better to make known their necessities; that full of confidence in the national representation—(Yes, yes)—far from imposing by their number, they had come to make a rampant round of their bodies. (Yes, yes.) Can you suppose that those who have with vigorous arms beat down the Bastille, come to raise up tyranny? (No, no.)
14 Germinal, April 3.
Marec, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, made a long report on our naval armament at Toulon. The result is, that this armament, composed of 15 vessels of the line, 6 frigates and 3 corvettes, left Toulon on the 11th of Ventose; the intention of their going out was to meet the English fleet, to give it battle, and to chase it from the Mediterranean. Every measure had been taken to assure the execution of this project. Contrary winds retarded them for some time; at last, after navigating 8 days, our fleet arrived in sight of the Isle of Corfica. On the 23d of Ventose the Mercury, of 74 guns, separated from the fleet; a gale of wind separated two others, Ca Ira and Censeur; the Sans Culotte also parted, without our knowing the cause. We abridge this report, and pass to the result.
On the 26th of Ventose five of our vessels gave chase to 13 English vessels, and made them humble their flag before the national colours. The Sans Culotte, of 120 guns, is arrived in the road of Hieres. The Ca Ira and the Censeur were sunk. We lost two vessels, and the English two; and the honor remains to us of having, with five vessels only, fought a fleet of 13 sail, which had the advantage of the wind. The convention decreed, that honorable mention should be made of the citizens on board of our five vessels.
Jean Bon St. Andre submitted to the assembly his views on the Schools of Navigation. He saw with surprise that there was no professor at Toulon. He demanded a law to establish subordination in the Marine Corps, which is so absolutely necessary.
A member added, that the ancient committee of public safety, did all in its power to destroy the marine, by refusing to employ old officers, and even sailors, who showed the greatest zeal for the Republic. Referred to the Committee of Public Safety and Marine.
Richard, representative of the people with the army of the North, writes, that they have received the decree on the general police. All the army has applauded the energy which the Convention has displayed. Devoted entirely to the National Representation, the army has never lost sight of the preservation of that body, on which depends
the safety of the Republic: it has not shed so much blood, to suffer the country to be bent again under the yoke of royalty. Affure yourselves, says he, that if there should be an attempt made on the liberty of the Convention, the army will fight its enemies with the same courage that it has destroyed the coalesced armies.
Thibault, by motion of order demanded that the committee of General Security should be charged to make a very circumstantial report on the events of the day and night past, and that the report should be sent to all the departments. Decreed.
Chenier complained, that several journals, under the head of "French Republic," had given false accounts of the events of yesterday, and in a manner revived the government. Some of these journals affect also to make use of the ancient era; and one of this day calls the republican era the Decemviral Era. From another quarter the fanatics begin to corrupt the public opinion. Chenier terminated by demanding leave to make a report, at the next sitting, of means to secure the public opinion from these snares. Granted.
On the report of the committee of public instruction, the convention named citizen Crozet to replace provisionally Leonard Bourdon, at the head of the house of education which this representative of the people directed.
A motion was made to put an end to the sitting. The Convention decreed, that it would not separate, until it heard the report of the committee of general security on the situation of Paris.
A member of the committee of general security announced, that the decrees passed this night shall be executed in open day, and that precautions are taken that the execution of them shall meet with no obstacle. The 3 detained members had departed for their destination; they had been stopped in some sections, and brought back to the committee of general security; but that they were about setting out anew, and good citizens had engaged to serve as their escort. The sections of Gravilliers and of the Temple had brought back Leonard Bourdon, who was about to be sent to his destination.
Pichegru and the national guard are above all praise. The greatest tranquillity reigns in Paris. There is no longer a trace of revolt. It remains for us not to lose the fruit of this important victory. To-morrow the committee will make the circumstantial report decreed by the convention.
A member of the committee of general security came to announce, that all was tranquil in Paris; and invited the assembly to take the repose it stood in need of. The convention separated at half past six o'clock.
The carriages which carried the detained members, and those decreed in a state of arrest, had not yet gone out of Paris; they had been stopped at the barriers. The general was beat in some sections. Immediately the convention, at eight o'clock in the evening, met under the presidency of Bourdon d'Oise; they ordered the committee of general security to render an account of the situation of Paris.
Clauzel immediately mounted the tribune, and informed the assembly that the carriages which carried the detained deputies had been stopped at the barriers; that the gendarmes had been a little weakened; but that this event ought not to inquiet them, and that they ought all to rely on the firmness of Pichegru.
On the proposition of a member the Convention decreed, that Gen. Pichegru should possess himself immediately of the arsenal & all public establishments.
Thibadeau demanded, why the committee of general security is so badly informed; for, says he, the report which we now hear is insignificant. The assembly sent again to the committee again to the committee of general security.
Matthieu, in the name of this committee, came to confirm what Clauzel had said; and added some particular circumstances. A tumultuous assembly had formed itself in the section of Quinze Vingt; they forced the gates of the general assembly, named a president and secretaries; but the committee does not despair of Pichegru's having dispersed these agitators, and of the carriages going out of Paris. He finished by announcing, that the audacity of the chiefs of this assembly had been such, that Pichegru had been dismounted 3 times; and that Rasset, charged with accompanying the carriages of the deputies conducting to the castle of Ham, had been wounded by a shot from a musket.
Tallien pronounced a vehement discourse; in which, after having demanded what had become of Thuriot, Leconte of Versailles, Cambon, & Fouchet of Nantes, he accused them of holding councils in concert with the
conspirators which are arrested, and the three detained deputies. He finished by demanding the arrestation of those members, and putting without the law those who, being arrested, are not yet gone out of Paris.
Saladin supported this proposition, and also demanded the arrest of Rofes Durocher, who he accused of lending his apartment to the factious. After a slight discussion, the assembly passed by these propositions.
While waiting for the news of the situation of affairs, a member, by motion of order, demanded the report on the decree passed, which charges the committee of general security to examine the conduct of the representatives who have been in mission.
Delcroi announced, that the carriages are gone out of Paris; that Pichegru having marched against the section of Quinze-Vingt had caused the citizens to return to their duty, who were led astray by the members of the former revolutionary committee of this section, and against which the committee of general security were about to issue mandates of arrest.
A moment after, Gen. Pichegru announced that a calm was established everywhere. The sitting was suspended at 4 o'clock in the morning.

MAYENCE, Jan. 31.
The Swedish Minister has formally contradicted the report that Baron de Reuchschnid, was to set out for Basle, to assist at a Congress, whose object was a mediation for PEACE. Sweden has never been called on to act as a mediator.
PARIS, March 27.
The tumults, which the scarcity of bread excited, are subsiding. The Committee of Provisions has done everything in its power; and the armed force stand ready to crush any insidious attempt to excite insurrection; whether made by the Jacobins or women.
Tallien, Freron, and Legendre still retain their popularity: but the faction is busily at work. Some concussion is daily expected—what party it will destroy we cannot even conjecture; even the moderates, as strong as they are, do not feel fully secure; and the proposition of Sieyes, for erecting a rallying point for the Convention, has given the friends to order a serious cause of alarm.
Our armies still continue successful; but no great objects are in contemplation. Nature, at the creation, formed the barriers of the Republic, Frenchmen now occupy all within their limits.
The Convention has done a great act of justice; on motion of Boissy d'Anglas, it has decreed, to stop immediately the confiscation of the property of those victims whom the tyranny of Robespierre sent to the scaffold—and have decreed an indemnity for similar property already confiscated.
PORTSMOUTH, May 30.
The article of intelligence under New York head, published in last Saturday's Oracle, respecting the French putting all to the sword that spoke the English Tongue in St. Martins on the 5th April. It is a base falsehood; As Capt. Wingate of this port left St. Martin's the 20th April, and informs that no such circumstance had taken place, but the most that the English inhabitants
there were afraid of, was their own people, as they were then happy under the French commandant—receiving the best of treatment.

PHILADELPHIA, June 8.
IMPORTANT! NEW-LONDON, June 4.
We learn from Newport, that on Tuesday last, a French frigate arrived there, in 44 days from Rochfort, in France, which brought out Citizen ADET, the new French Ambassador to the United States, and Citizen LE TOMBE, former Consul at Boston, who it is supposed is appointed Consul General. The frigate captured and burnt on her passage two large Spanish and one Portuguese ship. We are informed from good authority, that a copy of a treaty of peace signed between France and Prussia has arrived in the above frigate; that France and Spain are negotiating for peace—and that Barrere, Colot de Herbois, &c. are banished to Normandy.
A Correspondant communicated the following:
The Honourable RICHARD RYDER, Esq. second Son of Lord Harrowby, (39 years old, the 5th of July, 1795) is appointed to be Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of America, vice GEORGE HAMMOND, Esq. recalled. Greenleaf's Argus.

The Supreme court of the United States, which had been for sometime past employed in trying those concerned in the late insurrection, adjourned on Friday. Philip Weigle and John Mitchell, were found guilty of treason, and condemned to be executed here, on the 17th inst. The trial of James Stewart and Captain Wright, was postponed till the next court. The others were acquitted. Upon this melancholy occasion, Judge Patterson delivered a most pathetic address, which was listened to with the greatest attention by a numerous audience, and had the most visible effect on the unhappy prisoners. May their melancholy fate deter others from attempting to violate the laws of their country.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, 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 proof of its merit.]
Extract from the Critical Review, April 1792, 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 friend from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, it not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artfully and affecting—the descriptions 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.

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with seeing the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as Englishmen, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.

50,000 Tickets at 8 dollars 400,000
This Lottery will afford an elegant spec- imen of the private buildings to be erect- ed in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the neces- sary expenses of printing, &c. and the sur- plus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by ap- pointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a se- cond time on behalf of the public; a suffi- cient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National Uni- versity and the other federal objects may con- tinue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this Important Institution, compiled from a se- lection of the best materials, ancient and mo- dern, will be submitted to the public when- ever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future ex- istence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Euro- pe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
