LONDON, March 21.
Yesterday, Edwards, Dowling, and Pretty, the three young men who were taken into custody on Tuesday evening, in the one-shilling gallery of Covent-Garden Theatre, for throwing pieces of iron and tin from thence into the other gallery and pit, were brought before Sir N. Bond, at the Public-Office, Bow-Street, for re-examination. It appeared that, at the first examination, Edwards and Dowling were discharged, there then not being sufficient proof against them; but it having been since discovered, that a small japan waiter, one of the articles thrown, had been stolen from a public-house, the corner of the Piazza, Covent-Garden, they were again apprehended. Pretty, who became an evidence in the business, related the whole transaction, which seemed to have been a premeditated thing, as he declared, that they took the waiter from the public-house, and the top of a lamp out of a court in Bow-Street, for the purpose of throwing among the audience, when they got into the Theatre. Edwards and Dowling did not deny the charge, but attempted to excuse themselves by the plea of being in liquor. The prisoners' masters appeared in their behalf, and wanted to settle the matter by their making a public apology in the newspapers; to this Mr. Bond and Mr. Brandon, who attended on the part of the Theatre, very properly objected, as, though it had very frequently been done, it had not the desired effect of deterring others from being guilty of a practice so dangerous to the frequenters of the Theatres. Mr. Bond observed, that were he to act to the utmost limit of his power, he should commit them for a felony in stealing the waiter, independent of the offence they were guilty of by throwing the different articles. They were committed to take their trial at the next Westminster sessions.

MASONIC ADDRESS.
Delivered at Portsmouth, (N. H.) by brother George Richards, before St. Andrew's Lodge, Dec. 27, 1794. Venerable! Respected! Beloved!
IT is inscribed on the pillars of Masonry, that a brother's sufferings claim a brother's pity. It is graven, as with the pen of a diamond, on the tablet of Solomon the Great, that a brother's feelings merit the relief of sympathy. Believing, of a truth, that Heaven-born Charity hath already prepared the mantle of fraternal love; that Masonic benevolence delighteth to veil the imperfections of kindred humanity; and fully persuaded that a brother in the midst of all his brethren, hath nothing to fear from the spirit of diligenous criticism, whose maledictions were never heard in the Temple of Concord; it needeth not the pen of the ready writer, nor the tongue of the eloquent orator, to interest the generous affections on his behalf, whom the venerable Master, respected Officers and beloved Brethren of St. Andrew's Lodge, have kindly requested to be present with them on this day, the day of gladness, rejoicing and high solemnity, in which, as good men, faithful and true, the fraternity are annually assembled, to commemorate the virtues of a most sublime Co-worker, with the duly honored, dear, departed patron of your sacred institution; a patron and Founder, who, long since, hath been admitted to the ineffable degrees of life, of light, and of love; and forever abideth, together with his companion St. John, in the centre of the regular constituted encampment of the Royal Arch celestial. The animated piety of a Blockwell the refined elegance of a Bentley, and the fervent pathos of a Walter, the genius of a Keith, the knowledge of a Warren, and the talents of a Bartlett; the nervous diction of a Gore, the Athenian polish of a Morton, and the classical purity of an Elliot, preclude every hope of excellence. The Cherubim of Virtue hath touched the lips of these Masters in Israel, with a living coal from the altar of science. As burning and as shining lights in the golden candlestick of the East, giving light unto all that are in the house—may they illuminate the path of the wayfaring brother, who tarrieth but for a moment, and point him forward to the morn that shall be without a cloud, the harbinger of more perfect day.
"Masonry (saith a well-informed scribe) passes and is understood under two different denominations. It is operative and speculative. By the former we allude to the useful rules of architecture, whence a structure derives figure, strength and beauty, and whence result a just correspondence and due proportion of all its parts. By the latter we learn to subdue the passions, act upon the square, keep a tongue of good report, maintain secrecy and practice charity." The grand outlines of operative Masonry were primarily described by the Compts of the Supreme Architect on the Tressel-Board of Eden. In this mansion not made with hands, our great progenitor studied the designs of the High, the Holy, the Reverend, most Adorable GRAND MASTER of Heaven and of Earth: and previous to his departure from the bowers of Paradise, the august Sire of all living became intimately acquainted with the principles of solidity and convenience: a very ancient record asserts his attention to the dissemination of useful knowledge; for although as Masons, we affirm constantly, that he confided the Mystery within the Vail, to Abel alone, yet, it cannot be denied, that even the wretched fratricide was taught the theory of building, and afterwards founded a city on the East of his father's early abode. Nine hundred and thirty years did the lamp of Adam burn bright before his numerous offspring, and so rapid were the improvements in science, that elegant arts and useful inventions characterized the seventh generation. From this period, the dawn of the day spring of refinement, luxury and dissipation moved on in front; prophanity and vice followed hard on their rear; and the sons of God, forgetting their exalted origin, or despising their heavenly birth-right, led on the fair daughters of men to the secret chambers of voluptuous pleasure. By them the whole earth was filled with the violence of moral evil. All flesh became impiously corrupt, and a desolating flood swept them away, as with the besom of destruction.
Where now, are those monuments of art, the handy craft of masterly genius, by which operative masonry, adorned & embellished the Antediluvian world? The rain descended, the winds blew, the floods came, they beat vehemently upon that house, it hath fallen, and its fall was great; the waters of oblivion
have passed over its foundation, and the place which once knew it shall know it no more again forever. One solitary column, the pillar of Enoch, in the land of Syria, rearing on its own base, immovable, bade the billows of the mighty deep unheeded roll. The deluge passed forward; it was left behind—But time has effected what the flood gates of ocean failed to accomplish; its base hath been overturned from its centre and the top-stone of its antique capital is moulderered into dust. Verily, verily, the fellow-labourers of the ancient globe, labouring not to subdue the passions; their conduct thro' life was not formed by the square; they kept not their tongue as the key of the heart, and the widow's son was forgotten in the midst of their assemblies.
My Brethren! The winged emblem of innocence hath returned to the ark. An olive branch in the mouth of a dove is the sign of established peace. The rain from on high is restrained. The windows of the Heavens are opened no more. Nevertheless, be ye assured for a certainty, that every effort of operative Masonry to build a city and a tower, must fail of success, if piety and love mark not the wisdom of the builder and the strength of the building. This making to ourselves a name, that we may live, whilst we are dead, is the toil of vanity, which inheriteth vexation of spirit. The Omnipotent Master of the Universe hath determined to scatter these foolish workmen abroad; and the line of confusion shall be stretched around them, whether they find a place in the land of Shinar, inhabit the vale of Zerdatha, or dwell on the pinnacle of Mount Moriah.
It is speculative Masonry reduced to vital practice, which constitutes the glory of the latter house. This second temple are we: and a greater than Solomon, even the High Priest of the golden altar hath left unto his brethren a solemn, an animated charge: in the volume of the book it is written, as with the finger of Deity.
Venerable! Respected! and Beloved! The first obligation of Masonry is,—Thou shalt love the Lord thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul, with all thy mind and with all thy strength;—and the second is like unto it,—Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The love of God and the love of man, form those grand pillars of the composite order, uniting of Earth to Heaven, whose corner stones are laid in time, whose top-stones shall be bro't forth in eternity, amid the noon tide shouting of the first-born sons of immortality. These durable columns support the whole building, which, fitly framed, in symmetry and order, in harmony and beauty, groweth unto an holy temple, inscribed to the Father of Lights: Amid "the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds," they shall lift aloft their crowned capitals to the sky, and founded on the rock of everlasting ages, the rains may descend, the floods come and the winds blow—the war of elements is but in vain, they cannot fall. Happy, thrice happy, is the brother and companion, who feeleth these pillars whereupon the house standeth, nor feeleth them, like Sampson, in the moment of death alone. Is it not yet a very little while, and the Heavens that now are, shall suddenly pass away, and the earth be utterly dissolved? What manner of persons ought ye then to be, in fervent piety towards God, and in ardent love unto Man? To venerate, love and obey the giver of every perfect gift, constitutes your reasonable service as Men, as Masons, and as Christians. To love Man the express image of his Maker, and the brightness of the divine glory, not in word only, but in deed and in truth, is the sole criterion of your being good men, faithful and true. Suffer me therefore, with all the warmth of brotherly affection, most earnestly to entreat every Apprentice bound to the Noahicodeth that he walks worthy of the vocation whereunto he has been called, for it is the high, it is the holy vocation of glory and of virtue: and beside this, let the fellow craft working with Hiram el Abiff, give all diligence to add unto his knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and that charity, which is the brightest gem in the breast plate of the Masonic Ephod; whilst the light of the Master shineth before men, that they beholding his good works, may glorify the Sun of Righteousness, the centre of the System.
Venerable! Respected and Beloved! A word to the wife is more than sufficient. Such indeed are ye; the Sons of Wisdom and the Children of the Day. It now remaineth, that I bid unto this Assembly a most affectionate, pathetic, and heart-felt farewell.—My fathers! the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof; my Brethren, my Companions, Co-Workers and Fellow-Labourers—forever fare ye well.
For the Gazette of the United States.
Extract of a letter to the Editor, dated at Fort Mifflin, June 20.
SIR, "I am just arrived from Port-au-Prince in the Schooner Minerva, Capt. A. Andraule, after 17 day's passage—I enclose a Proclamation in English and French, which Sir Adam Williamson Governor in chief in Hispaniola issued two or three days before my departure, which I request you to insert in your Gazette."
BY THE KING.
His Excellency Sir Adam Williamson, K. B. Governor and Commander in Chief for such Parts of the Island of Hispaniola as are now, or may hereafter be, in his Majesty's Possession, &c. &c. &c.
HIS Majesty having been pleased to appoint me his Governor at St. Domingo, and territories depending thereon, it is my duty to make known his will and beneficent views to all those who are already become subjects to his Majesty, and to such others who may wish to implore hereafter his protection.
Let me be first permitted to express the satisfactory and pleasing sentiment I feel at my having anticipated his orders, by regulating, as well as circumstances could permit, all the parts of administration, in a manner agreeable to his will. The approbation he has been pleased to signify of all that I have done, and the particular instructions he has directed to me, will hereafter point out to me the road which I pursued before with hesitation, relying more on the uprightness of my sentiments, and on my fervent wish of attenuating the misfortunes of Hispaniola, than on the knowledge I had of the place and its uses and customs.
Now being informed and apprised of the King's picture, certain of the solidity of the basis on which administration rests, I shall, with a bolder step proceed into the career opened before me.
I am no longer a stranger to the path I am to pursue: His Majesty, in his tender solicitude, has surveyed all the points of Government, and has transmitted to me his will and pleasure. Though at two thousand leagues distant from him, the inhabitants of Hispaniola may consider themselves as governed by the King himself; since they are to find in me, but the faithful representative of his Majesty, the mere organ of his orders, clearly explained.
His Majesty is convinced that the planters and others, in every part of the colony they inhabit, are anxious, in the bottom of their hearts, for the moment when they may be able to manifest their sentiments without any danger for their lives. He therefore considers the capitulation signed on the 3d of September, as the unanimous vow of all the inhabitants; he is willing to make them enjoy it; and wherever success may attend his Majesty's arms, it shall not be for the purpose of conquering, but to release his subjects from their oppressors and assassins.
In order to prepare and secure to the inhabitants an administration adapted to their uses and customs, and a police suitable to their local places, I shall avail myself with the instruction and experience of some proprietors. I place already so much confidence in those whom I have already made a choice of, that I expect to receive from them very good advices, on difficult circumstances, when it will be a pleasure and a satisfaction to me to consult them: And could I ever think that any of them had any other view but the welfare of Hispaniola, I declare it beforehand, I would immediately separate from them.
But I flatter myself, that a sincere attachment to the colony, a religious respect to the oath of allegiance sworn to, before me, would curb any one who might for a moment be induced to listen to any private interest.
No obstacle, no embarrassment shall clog or restrain the exercise of any employ; for, I repeat it, in the King's name, the basis of civil administration shall rest on the laws and institutions which did subsist previous to the time when the revolution interrupted them in 1789; unless the King himself should think fit to prefer some change, which the absolute necessity of circumstances might require.
With regard to the executive power, entirely deposited in my hands by the King's will, it shall be exercised in protecting the unfortunate, causing the laws to be respected, to retrieve and preserve properties.
Hereafter, the name of King George the Third, placed at the head of all public acts, will recall to the mind of the inhabitants of the colony the protection which has been granted them, and the wisdom with which he is willing to govern.
Commerce, which shall open its treasures, once more to encourage the cultivation of this fruitful but unfortunate soil, shall only be subject to the laws suitable to it: it is under British laws that British commerce has flourished: those laws shall be in full vigour, to preserve that splendour which will prove so necessary and useful to the colony. Let not the idea of any urging or afflicting prohibition disquiet the inhabitant of this desolated land; for that reason the King permits exceptions; he is too good a father not to provide food for his new children.
All degrees of jurisdiction shall, nevertheless, be established: which has already been tried at Hispaniola, since the re-establishment of tribunals, which had been ordered for some time: one circumstance, seemingly pressing, occasioned the suspension of them. The continuance of that suspension would hardly have been per-
ceived, had I not been desirous to give more eclat, in reinstating them under the sanction of his Majesty's name.
The duties of magistrates, the functions of the different tribunals, are too well pointed out by the laws and regulations, to require here any further comment, except that in the civil and criminal process, they have the same power as before 1789.
Having precise orders from his Majesty to exercise the functions of Governor and of Intendant, or to cause them to be exercised, I shall avail myself of the best advice, to enable myself to determine upon the exercise, and the performance thereof.
His Majesty, being convinced that the organs of the law ought to be persons entirely devoted to the country they inhabit, and to the king who protects them, means, and expects, they should also have those qualifications prescribed by the former ordinances. It was with that view, the propriety of which I was perfectly persuaded of, that I issued an ordinance, in order that the Council, by way of experiment, should make the necessary enquiries, to be convinced that all the magistrates have the requisite qualifications.
Those precautions are not yet sufficient to the fatherly care of his Majesty: not only he will have justice administered with impartiality, by well instructed Magistrates; but that clients, unfortunate enough in their law suits, shall not be exposed arbitrarily to exorbitant taxes, the fees of lawyers shall be regulated on the most moderate taxation.
The small quantity of produce at present of that colony, so considerable before, does not allow to expect that the amount of taxes might defray the expenses of government; the king is not even willing to attempt to attain it, by any increase of duties; he prefers to wait until the colony has recovered its losses, to reimburse the immense expenses which its restoration and defence do require; for which he will make the advance with a generosity calculated on the sensibility occasioned by the deplorable situation of its unfortunate inhabitants.
As religious as he is generous, he does not condemn any dogma or religious tenet; and willing to leave to his new subjects consolations they might find in the religion of their forefathers, he leaves to them their church, their worship, and their ministers; he hopes, that, far from alienating the minds from the attachment due to him, the clergy will use their influence only to preach and recommend good order, bring up the youth, instruct the negroes in the fear of God, and bring them up to the respectful obedience due to their masters. A regular conduct, and their exactness in fulfilling their religious duty, will insure them the consideration of all, and the protection of his Majesty.
Whilst part of the inhabitant, being attached to the troops of his Majesty, help them to repulse the brigands, to restore order, some, infected with the spirit of devastation spread over France, remain with the republicans, and are the accomplices to all the evils which they occasion in the colonies; those men have already and voluntarily renounced their properties, by endeavoring to ruin them, an act has passed the last session of Parliament, enacting, that such properties shall not pass into the hands of our enemies; the king orders me to make an application of them by ordinance calculated on the spirit of that act.
I shall soon promulgate that ordinance, in order to manifest my dispositions on that subject, and at the same time to save the mind of such, who, through imperious circumstances, are now absent from this colony. Such an absence might, without doubt imply holding an intelligence with our enemies; but the king is far from availing himself of that presumption; the seizure shall be pronounced only after a conviction. Nevertheless, wisdom and prudence require, that the properties of absent persons should be sequestered, to be administered under the eyes of government; but this truly parental administration, far from alarming, will prove the means of securing to the unfortunate their own properties, and saving them from the cupidity of faithless trustees: government by that law, becoming the depositary and guarantee of their produce.
Such is the basis on which the government of Hispaniola is to rest. So precise instructions from the king are new favors; for they point out an fix my duty, and my future operations; they provide for the uncertainty I might have been in, respecting the local situation of the colony, and thereby, put a stop to all the attempts which intriguing and ambitious persons never fail to contrive.
A stranger to the passions which have divided this colony, I only aim at restoring its peace and tranquillity: I hope that hereafter, all being unanimous in promoting those blessings, I shall not meet with any obstacle: but if I, contrary to my expectation, find any of those turbulent men, who, approving of nothing but what flatters their own passions, should endeavor to excite the minds to any act of subordination and forgetfulness of their duty towards their Sovereign, I then making use of the authority entrusted to me, shall not suffer that such men should remain any longer among us.
After having traced to all, the sphere they are to move in, nothing but justice and firmness can be expected from me: Benevolence and goodness can be manifested but in the first organization of things; but firmness and justice alone can both consolidate and preserve it.
Soldiers, inhabitants, magistrates, clergy, free people, slaves, all shall be entitled to the beneficence and the most impartial equity. May all the inhabitants of Hispaniola be fully convinced how sincerely I wish to place them in quite possession of their properties; may they second my

effort. I engage them to re-unite about me, and to prove, by their zeal, that there are not amongst them but subjects faithful to the king, and that the difference of idioms does not admit of any in their sentiments. Done at Port-au-Prince the 29th May, 1795. Signed ADAM WILLIAMSON. By order of his Excellency Wm. Shaw, Sec.

Letters by the British April Packet, from Falmouth, via Halifax and Boston, were received at the Philadelphia Post-Office this day.
From a Correspondent. The government of the United States is a representative government—consequently, whatever is done by the representative body is done by the whole people; unless this is admitted, we cannot proceed one step.
The Constitution has assigned the business of Treaties to the exclusive deliberation of the Representatives of the People in Senate.
If Treaties are formed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, the Constitution says, they shall become the Law of the land.
Treaties formed with the Sovereigns of European States under the old Confederation, were ratified by Congress privately, and are now the Law of the land.
But, according to modern doctrine, if the Senate of the United States should ratify a Treaty, without consulting the Democratic Club, any thing in the Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding, there is an end to the Sovereignty of the People!
How barren must a Country be of subjects of complaint, when the people are bored with such crudities!
By this Day's MAIL.
SALEM, June 16. SHIP NEWS.
The snow Enterprise, which failed from Boston on the 5th of February last, loaded with a very valuable cargo of sugar, coffee and cotton, bound for Hamburg, and commanded by Nathaniel Brookhouse of this town, foundered in fifteen days after she failed, on the 20th February, lat. 40, long. 41. In a heavy gale she was struck by a sea, and damaged so much, that the crew were in momentary expectation of her going down. They however continued on board till the next day; and after providing as many necessaries as their situation would permit, they took to their boats. Mr. Freeman, of Boston, supercargo and half-owner, Captain Brookhouse, Mr. Tink, mate, Mr. Brookhouse, second-mate, and four mariners, in the long-boat, and Nathaniel Card and three more in the yawl. In fifteen minutes after they left the snow, the yawl went down. The long-boat failed rather than the yawl, and they unhappily lost sight of each other in the afternoon—for the next morning the small boat, with the four mariners, was picked up by the ship Ruby, of Charleston, (S. C.) bound for France, where they were carried. The long-boat has not yet been heard of, but it is hoped she may have reached the Western Islands. The snow was owned by Messrs. Freeman and Vans, of Boston.
Capt. Bartlett, from Bilboa, says he was told there by Mr. Gardoqui, that he had a letter from his brother at Madrid, which informed him, that every effort was making by Spain to obtain peace with France.
Capt. Mugford failed about 6 hours after Capt. Bartlett, from Bilboa—Intelligence was received there, 4 hours previous to his sailing, of the arrival of two Spanish Galeons at Cadiz, from South-America, with money.
Arrived at this port, brig Hope, Capt. John Baker, from Bayonne, in 29 days. Left there brig Friendship, Quiley, master, bound to the West-Indies; ship Clothier, of Philadelphia, bound for Havre-de-Grace, also, a schooner belonging to Marblehead, Jas. Barker, master. The 12th of May, the sloop Julius Cæsar, Capt. Tellman, of Newfield, Connecticut, failed from Bayonne for Havre-de-Grace. Capt. Baker, on his homeward bound passage,
spoke the following vessels: May 25, lat. 43, 54, N. and long. 39, 16, W. the brig Patty, from Liverpool, for Philadelphia; May 29, lat. 43, 03, N. and long. 45, W. the ship —, Capt. M'Clanagan, of Portland, from Liverpool for Baltimore; same day the brig Layton, Capt. Macey, from London, for Boston; June 5th, 42, 31, N. and long. 61, 37, W. the brig Polly, Capt. Wm. Bradshaw, from Lisbon, for Salem; same day, brig George, bound to Marblehead.
May 28th, Capt. —, of Marblehead, spoke the ship Butler, of Portland, from Virginia, for France, 30 leagues W. of Grand Bank. Also, June 4, spoke the brig Rebecca, of North-Yarmouth, S. Bullock, master, bound to Barbadoes, 24 hours out, lat. 42, 45, and long. 67, 30.

Yesterday arrived here, the schooner Nancy, Capt. Donaldson, from Halifax, with the British May mail. It arrived at Halifax, the 6th inst. in 34 days from Falmouth.
A letter from London, dated April 29, 1795, says, "The Minerva, Capt. Crowninshield, who was just on departure for Boston, took fire a few days since, owing to the breaking of a bottle of Viperol on board, and is much damaged, as is a great part of her cargo. The Mary, Calley, will depart shortly direct for your port. The Thetis, Robinson, is also up, as is the Hercules, the large ship built by Mr. Lane."
The Eliza, Capt. Henshaw, arrived in London, in 24 days.
LEGISLATURE of Massachusetts. A bill on Monday had its second reading in the House, for granting a Lottery for the purpose of raising two thousand dollars, for the improvement of the roads from Gloucester to Ipswich and Salem.
A bill was before the House, for establishing a turnpike road from Brookfield, in the county of Worcester, to Wilbraham in the county of Hampshire.
Yesterday, in the House, a bill was read a first and second time, for incorporating a Bank, at Newburyport, by the name of the Merrimac Bank. [The capital is not to be less than 70,000, nor more than 150,000 dollars.]
A resolve came down from the Senate, empowering the Treasurer to subscribe the sum of 200,000 dollars, to the sum already subscribed by this commonwealth, in the stock of the Union Bank; and directing the Treasurer to sell such part of the stock of the United States, bearing 6 per cent. interest, as would defray the same. The resolution on being read.
Mr. Fiske asked for information, what the annual product of the sums already subscribed by the commonwealth in the stock of the Union Bank, had been.
The Speaker answered, 8 per cent. He then explained the purport of the resolution to be simply, that the commonwealth being possessed of certain stock of the United States, bearing interest at 6 per cent. it was intended to empower the Treasurer to sell the same, and to subscribe to the stock of the Bank, in expectation of the proceeds returning to the commonwealth 8 per cent. After this explanation, the resolution unanimously passed.
Arrived here in the ship Mary, JOAQUIM JOSE DE BARROS, Esq. Vice Consul of the United States at the Cape de Verd Islands.

HENRY KNOX, late Secretary at War, a large and respectable number of citizens invited him to partake with them, at a dinner at the Hall in Federal Street, yesterday. The entertainment was one of the most sumptuous and elegant ever furnished in this town, & was attended, besides those who gave the feast, by several of the foreign consuls, the rev. Clergy, the Judges of the Circuit Court, and strangers of distinction in town, making in the whole, nearly two hundred guests. The most perfect urbanity reigned during the festive hours; and the following toasts and volunteers met a cordial

1. The PRESIDENT of the United States. Perpetual verdure to the laurel which encircles his brow—THE LOVE OF THE PEOPLE.
2. The Vice-President and Congress.
3. The Governor and Commonwealth. May republican principles and federal affections, continue to distinguish the people and government of Massachusetts.

12. Agriculture, Arts, and Commerce. May the permanent interests of the United States, be the stimulus, as it is the only cement of National attachment.
13. The powers of Europe in amity with the United States; and their Representatives.

"LABOUR" while forsook his toil, The dew of gratitude to pay; And Friendship wore a brighter smile, And Music breath'd a sweeter lay."
FRENCH FUNDING SYSTEM.
Translated for the Centinel. Report made by Johannot, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, Legislature, and Finances, to the National Convention, the session of 20th Germinal.
"CITIZENS, "A REFORM or amelioration of our Finances, would vainly have been undertaken, amidst the wrestling of factions, and the agitation of the public mind. To re-establish credit was impossible, while forms still thundered around the sanctuary of the laws. There are times when the most useful ideas are impotent: But thanks to your energy, they will again resume their empire. Your last victory over anarchy, has been of important service to your Finances. You have rooted up your interior and exterior enemies; and their defeat has re-established our late tottering credit.
The prospect of an approaching Peace, and which is already concluded with one of the first military powers of Europe, gives a new basis to credit; and we may once more build on a foundation, grown firm after so many shocks and tempests.
You will continue to secure the destiny of the public fortune, by giving a formidable and regular organization to the constitutional laws.
These laws are truly those of a free people; as they banish an once, both licentiousness, and slavery. To preserve to the people their rights, the exercise of them will no longer be placed in the hands of ignorance or crime—A memorable revolution has saved the French nation from the despotism of an individual—By a revolution still more memorable, your wisdom will save them from anarchy, which is the despotism of all.
We all begin to understand, that there are no governments conformable to the genuine rights of man, except those which are neither turbulent nor arbitrary.
This is the moment, in which a plan of Finance may be presented you with success—it is impossible to establish any without the order and unity of the same measures without interior peace, but more especially without a well organized constitution.
Your Committees have occupied themselves with the causes of the depreciation of assignats, with the excessive rise of necessaries and goods, paid for in assignats, with the means of discounting order thro' every part of the Republic; with the means to provide against the extraordinary expenses which the war still continues to exact—with the payment and reimbursement of the national debts, but especially to re-establish morality in all private contracts, between citizens, in all their active and passive relations with the Finances of the State. Morality in exterior concerns, is an able negotiator; in interior relations, it is the only power whose administration is reflected.
Your Committees, in order to facilitate their progress, had appointed a commission
of five of its members, this commission itself with several citizens, distinguished for their intelligence and integrity; they presented your Committees with their proceedings, your Committees have a long time discussed them, applied such amendments as they deemed necessary, and now offer you the result.
At the commencement of this work your Committees found around them nothing but ruins, accumulated from every point. Terror and imprudence had destroyed every thing; wisdom and good faith may still repair every thing there is not a moment to lose.
In probing the depth of the present wound, in observing from decade to decade the rapid progress in the depreciation of assignats, your Committees soon perceived how necessary it is to check the evil; without which the annual revenues of the republic continually diminishing, and the expenses of the war incessantly augmenting in an astrighful ratio, the national power would in fact have been paralyzed in the midst of its victories. [To be continued.]
WORCESTER, June 17.
The issue of the late election for Governor and Lieut. Governor, in New-York, exhibits a most pleasing evidence, not only of the affection and esteem of its citizens, for the successful candidates out of their political orthodoxy, and firm attachment to the measures, which have been so successfully pursued, by the Federal Government for the maintenance of peace, with the belligerent powers of Europe, upon the principles of an honorable neutrality. Nothing could be a stronger evidence of this, than Mr. Jay's election, to the office of Governor of the State, at a time when he was absent, as Envoy Extraordinary to the Court of Great Britain, and when it was extremely uncertain whether he would arrive in season to take the chair when his predecessor must leave it; and considering, too, that the rival candidate, Mr. Yates, was in high reputation, as a man of abilities, firmness, and integrity. Notwithstanding these disadvantages, Mr. Jay has been declared elected, by a majority of 1530 votes.—Mr. Van Ranselear, the Lieutenant Governor, had a smaller majority.
NEW-YORK, June 19.
The Leyden Gazette, files of which have been received by the Editor, up to the 17th April, contains very little intelligence, except what have been already laid before the public. The details relative to the late naval engagement between the French and English, in the Mediterranean, are exceedingly minute and contradictory. The principal weight of evidence, however, is in favor of the report made to the National Convention, by Marec, on the 2d. of April. The Editor of the Leyden Gazette (Stephen Luzac) mentions his having received a letter from Leghorn, dated March, 20th, which agrees perfectly with Marec's report; and which he therefore considers as a complete proof of its accuracy.
Gen. Moreau succeeds Pichegru in the command of the French army which remains in Holland. The republican government of Holland in return for the services rendered to their country by General Pichegru, have sent him a Brevet of (titulary) General in the service of the United Provinces, with a pension of ten thousand Florins per annum.
The Provisional Representatives of the people of Holland have expedited circular letters, dated the 8th of April, to the Municipalities, to exclude absolutely, from all share in the actual administration, (till a national convention being convoked, shall decide otherwise,) all the members of the ancient government of the Province.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
16 Germinal, Sunday, April 5.
Robert complained that his name was added to the printed list of the party members who called for taking the vote—by name on the decree for the banishment of Billaud, Collot and Barrere.—Robert having taken no part in the late convulsion, the error was ordered to be corrected, and the recal of Robert to his functions to be inserted in the bulletin.
Perrin de Vosges, in the name of the Committee of General Safety—"The disturbances which took place in Paris on the 12th and 13th Germinal, have spread themselves through many of the departments. At Rouen some Royalists have disturbed the public tranquility. The Committee of inspection in this town informs us, in a letter of the 15th, that the Patriots united themselves in great force, and dispersed the deluded populace, who surrounded the town-house, in which the Representative of the People then was, and who spread the cry of "Vive le Roi!" to this cry, that of "Vive la Republique! Vive la Convention!" was soon made to succeed; and the Commune of Rouen will not be lost to liberty, as the disaffected and malignant wish to publish." Ordered to be inserted in the bulletin.
Tallien, after some observations relative to the suspected members, gave the following list of those who ought to be arrested: Thuriot, Cambon, Levasseur de la Sarthe, Hentz, Maignet, Craffons. He also proposed the banishment of Lebon.
Bourdou opposed the motion for the exile of Lebon; it was also desired that the other arrests should be put to the vote one after the other.
That of Moyle Bayle was first put to the vote.
Gaston immediately desired to speak, a warm debate ensued, when a member invoked the liberty of opinion, and Gaston contended that there was nothing alleged against Moyle Bayle.
Barras rose to state some facts: "the projects of the conspirators," said he, "were all organized; already had they prepared a new municipality for the Commune of Paris: a second Henriot had been chosen, and they were about to organize a new Tribunal under the name of the High National Court, to which 60 of the Representatives were to have been delivered up.—We are already in possession of the names of twenty two of them."
The decrees of Arrest being then put to the vote one after the other, were carried against Moyle Bayle, Thuriot, Cambon, Hentz, Maignet, Levasseur de la Sarthe, Craffons, and Lecointre of Versailles.
The Convention passed to the Order of the Day on the arrest of Lelage-Senault, and Taillefer.
Merlin of Douai proposed that the Committee of General Safety should be authorized to make choice of the places in which the arrested Members should be separately confined.—Decreed.

1. CHARLOTTE, a Tale of Truth; by Mrs. Rowson. 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 , Ap. 1795, 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 of the regularity of her former conduct, is engaged to a young officer in America—The marriage ceremony is not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the infidelity of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless and affectation—the descriptions natural and affecting; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly discerned." 2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3.

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 being 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 cenurable action, whenever the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. 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 a noble cause is endangered and disgraced."  In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope 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 mitigate the clouds of political deception, they hope some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
