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 1791, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth; for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity, of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- trusted from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the in- constancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless and af- fecting—the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed. 2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine 4. Notes on the state of Virginia—by Tho- mas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling 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 princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lish whigs, 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 accepted to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political decep- tion, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive." EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

MR. FENNO,
Please to insert in your paper the following
DIRECTIONS to a PAINTER.
SPREAD your canvas, take your
pallet and pencil, and sketch
FRANCE,
As a tigress breaking her toils; hunted by all the imperial and royal brutes of Europe; place on her head the red cap; and represent her dancing in wooden shoes to the tune of Vive la Republique —devouring her own offspring, and dealing deadly wounds to all her surrounding adversaries at the same instant. The country of an enthusiastic, galant military, and the theatre of philosophical cut-throats; who are sacrificing an hundred thousand lives annually, to convince the world that they can weave a cloth, strong enough for a mad shirt, from the flimsey filaments of a cob-web.
RUSSIA,
As an enormous woman, with a monstrous hoop-petticoat; one side of it spreading over half of the kingdom of Poland;—shaking her own offspring, and looking astant, at the same time, on a map of the country, bordering on the Archipelago and Black Sea. The country of boundless ambition, driving vast hordes of ignorant slaves, to cultivate inhospitable forests.
PRUSSIA,
As a wolf, wounded in his hind quarters, sneaking off from the combat, and hugging ponderous bags of gold, bound up with tri-coloured ribbands. The region of tactics and punic faith.
AUSTRIA,
As a huge bear, lifting both paws against the tigress, who had just torn off the head of one of her cubs. A country bloated with pedigree; and composed of parts as dissimilar, as was Nebuchadnezzar's image; incapable of perfect union in the field or cabinet.
SPAIN,
As a cat, stroaking her whiskers, and with a paw uplifted, squalling and spitting at the tigress. The region of pride, squinting with jealousy at all her neighbours. The common channel, through which the riches of Mexico and Peru pass to the industrious part of Europe.
GREAT-BRITAIN,
As a bull-dog, fastening on the limbs of the tigress; held back by a monster with a thousand heads. The hot-bed of licentiousness and corruption—action and re-action—both poisoning the public manners, and equally sapping the fair temple of liberty.
Mix your richest colours, and paint
THE FIFTEEN UNITED STATES,
As an ancient Sachem of America, reclined under the shade of an aged oak, on the western bank of the Delaware; smoking the calumet of peace with all the ambassadors of Europe; and shaking his tomahawk at a company of ragged hunters from the wilderness, who are dancing a war dance round a keg of whiskey. The country of independence, peace and safety—Long may she enjoy them, uninjured by domestic faction, or foreign intrigue!
Depict, in the back ground of the United States, a motley group of figures; represent some of them working with the utmost activity to tear up by the roots an illustrious thriving Native of the American grove, called the National Executive ; and others holding in readiness a miscreant, creeping, exotic, yeleped Jacobin Club , which they design to plant in its place. To diversify the group, you may distinguish some by volunteer cockades, and others by senatorial robes. To one you may give the General's baton, and to another the plume of his amanuensis. Turn their faces, grinning a ghastly smile, towards the ragged company in the foreground, as if approving their drunken freaks. Cover the whole with your strongest shades, as best adapted to their dark machinations, as well as expressive of their general wish of concealment. Finally, summon the utmost powers of your pencil, and represent the ancient Sachem on the bank of Delaware, although intent on the benevolent works of peace, looking with an air of pity, mingled with contempt, on the whole of these worthless figures.
The following abstract is from the American Minerva.
The report of Robert Lindet, a member of the committee of Public Safety, to the National Convention of France, on the 20th September, respecting the interior state of the Republic, is an interesting publication, but too lengthy for a newspaper.
Lindet remarks, that when a great nation determines to be free, it must
have not only the will, but the power and the means to resist tyrants, and make its liberty respected. Twelve hundred thousand citizens under arms form the advanced guard of the defenders of liberty in France; and extend over her frontiers in Spain, Belgium and the Palatinate. The improvements of the French in military tactics; the wisdom of commanders, and the confidence of soldiers; order, harmony and vigilance, guarantee to France her advantages. A formidable marine, improving and well directed, disconcerts her enemies, threatens their commerce with ruin, and promises to France the freedom of the ocean.
Lindet mentions the favorable opinions which their struggles and victories had impressed on neutral nations, as a prelude to a durable friendship and confidence. He then advertises to the astonishing efforts which France had made against her internal and foreign enemies. He ascribes these efforts in a great degree, to the sentiments of freedom and independence, which have taken root in France, which have taught the people that they have a country , that they are all equal, all brethren, and of one family.
Lindet proceeds to describe the effect of the war on the interior of France; on agriculture, manufactures and commerce. Every hand has been occupied in preparing the means of defense; of course every other business has suffered. Subsistence being the first article to be attended to, has called forth new and extraordinary exertions; more land is cultivated than formerly—no portion of the soil is neglected—and the fruits of the earth are abundant, except in parts of the country naturally barren, which depended on foreign supplies. These have suffered extreme distress.
Manufactures and commerce present a more gloomy spectacle. The factories and work shops are deserted! Nothing could have supplied the loss of manufactures, but the self-denial of the citizens, which has diminished the number of their wants, and in a great degree reduced the consumption within the limits of a scanty supply of fabrics.
Lindet remarks, that altho' the productions of France have exceeded all reasonable expectations, yet new efforts are necessary to ensure a sufficiency. Many farmers, indeed do not thresh their grain, or rot and dress their flax. They keep their wool, and spinning is neglected.
Commerce, says Lindet at the present moment, presents to view, ruin and desolation. A conspiracy was formed against commerce, Robespierre would have annihilated every thing. The genius of destruction stalked thro' France and at a blow levelled agriculture and commerce. The silk-manufacture was destroyed—the culture of the Mulberry Tree was abandoned; and thus a principal source of wealth in the southern departments, was dried up. The oils were transported into foreign countries and the soap works ruined.
What can we expect, or hope from such a general prostration of manufactures? Foreign nations send us their productions; we should send them ours in return; but we consume the whole. Shall we lend the metals abroad? We have no mines sufficient for this. These resources will be soon exhausted. National industry alone is our resort, for materials to balance accounts with foreign nations. Manufactures must be revived, and the labor of our artisans directed to such fabrics as will suit foreign markets." He then urges the Convention to prefer France from being compelled to pay for her imports.
Lindet ascribes much of the public calamity to the late tyranny of Robespierre and the factions. The severity of their despotism had cut the sinews of industry. He recommends that the Convention pursue different measures—which he comprizes in one word—liberty; that is, a restoration of the suspected and imprisoned to their families and estates; and the security of their property. Suspicion, he observes, ought not to dictate their counsels—confidence should be restored. The property of the suspected citizens, which had been seized and put under seal, he urges to be returned to them.
He recommends a particular attention to Lyons—to prevent a further demolition of its houses—to invite back citizens to their work-shops—they were designed to create—not to destroy. He proposes to grant liberty of free exportation—this, he says, will induce people to collect and manufacture silk, and to export their productions. "The manufacture of hats and cloths will also revive and Lyons will spring from its ruins."
Marseilles, whose commerce formerly enriched that city and supplied the South, now depends on government for
subsistence. It scarcely furnishes merchants enough to collect and transact the remains of the ruined commerce of the Levant and the Barbary Coast.
The commerce of Nantz is nearly ruined, and that of Bourdeaux needs much encouragement.
Lindet impresses this idea on his fellow-citizens, that the army and marine, with the persons occupied immediately in furnishing them, actually employ fifteen hundred thousand men; and that the subsistence of these men costs more to the Republic than six millions of citizens in the various communes at home.
There was a levy of 4,000 horses and mules in three or four months.
The Reporter takes a curious view of the conquests of the armies; the state of the insurrection in La Vendee, and the divisions in the South. He calls on the convention to take effectual measures to stifle faction; and to restore confidence between the citizens. He urges the popular societies to exert themselves to instruct the people and guard them against seduction and ambition. In short from this report we learn that, with all the splendor of victory, France is exhausted; industry languishes and the interior exhibits rather a deplorable situation.

Extracts of a letter from an Attorney at Law in Savannah, to his friend in this City, dated Nov. 24.
"Our Legislature is now sitting at Augusta; nothing of consequence has yet been done; but the city of Savannah is much divided with respect to some important business that is soon to be transacted—that is, a revision of our constitution, which is to be done in a convention, the members of which are already appointed, and the Legislature is to determine the time of their meeting."
After this revision, Judges, Lawyers, &c. are to be unknown, which will render it necessary for every man to become his own Judge, Lawyer, and Jury; and carve out justice to his own liking."
Should this take place, we have nothing to do, but to pray from such government "Good Lord deliver us."
THINGS BY THEIR RIGHT NAMES
An Evening Dialogue.
Charles. Papa, you grow very lazy; last winter you used to tell us stories, and now you never tell us any; and we are all round the fire, quite ready to hear you.—Pray dear dear papa let us have a pretty one?
Father. With all my heart—what shall it be?
C. A bloody murder papa!
F. A bloody murder! Well then—once upon a time some men dressed all alike—
C. With black crapes upon their faces—
F. No: they had steel caps on—having crossed a thick heath, winding cautiously along the skirts of a deep forest—
C. They were ill looking fellows, I dare say.
F. I cannot say so; on the contrary, they were tall personable men as most one shall see: leaving on their right hand an old ruined tower on the hill—
C. At midnight, just as the clock struck twelve; was it not papa?
F. No, really, it was on a fine balmy summer's morning: and moved forwards one behind another—
C. As still as death creeping along the fences.
F. On the contrary: they walked remarkably upright; and so far from endeavouring to be hushed and still, they made a loud noise as they came along, with several sorts of instruments.
C. But papa, they would be found out immediately.
F. They did not seem to wish to conceal themselves: on the contrary, they gloried in what they were about. They moved forwards, I say, to a large plain, where stood a neat, pretty village, which they set on fire—
C. Set a village on fire! wicked wretches!
F. And while it was burning they murdered twenty thousand men—
C. O be, papa! You do not intend I should believe that! I thought all along you were making up a tale as you often do; but you shall not catch me at this time. What, they lay still, I suppose, and let these fellows cut their throats!
F. No, truly—they resisted as long as they could.
C. How should these men kill twenty thousand people, I pray?
F. Why not? the murderers were thirty thousand.
C. O, now I have found you out! You mean a BATTLE.
F. Indeed I do. I do not know of any murders half so bloody.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 11.
In the course of last week the Charleston Battalion of artillery mounted six carriage guns, viz. three 18's and three 12's; also four 24 pounders, in carabette, in the fort lately erected on the ruins of Fort Darrell; and on Saturday the Mechanical Society, at whose cost the fort was built, met there for the purpose of delivering it to the Governor, for the use and defence of the state. The battalion of the artillery was also drawn up within the fort. Capt. Toomer, chairman of
the Mechanical Society, received the Governor at the gate, and conducted him upon the platform, where he addressed his excellency in the following words:
"Sir—We, the mechanics of Charleston, actuated by a sincere desire to be useful to their country, and at a time like the present, when America is menaced by a power no way friendly to us, was generally thought necessary to a defence of our city, we have thought it our duty to do our part in so necessary a cause: and as a donation from the mechanics of this city, we have undertaken to finish this fort for the good of the public, which at this time we have the pleasure of presenting to you as our chief magistrate."
To which the Governor replied: "I beg sir, you will present my sincere thanks to the mechanics of Charleston, for their patriotic zeal and attention to the safety of their country, and for the expeditious and workmanlike manner in which they have completed this fort; and in honor to the mechanics of Charleston I now call it by the name of Fort Mechanic , and give it in charge to Major Rutledge, and his battalion of artillery, with a full assurance that, whenever attacked, it will be bravely defended."
The battalion received the fame with three cheers: after which the Governor partook of a cold collation provided in the fort.
Yesterday arrived the schooner Carmagnole . Lowry, a French privateer; Brig Eagle , Latie, Jamaica, via Savannah, an English privateer of 14 guns, taken by the Republican, a French privateer of 10 guns; Brig Princess of Auturias , of 13 guns, also a prize to the Republican; Sloop Ruby , Davidson, New-York 8 days.
From the MARYLAND JOURNAL, &c.
ON the 10th day of last month, Mr. Walter Dorsey moved in the house of delegates four resolutions, the third and fourth of which (being only material) are as follows:
3d. Resolved, That Samuel Chase, Esq. in holding and exercising the office of Chief Justice of the court of Oyer and Terminer and Gaol Delivery for Baltimore County, being at the same time Chief Judge of the General Court of this state, is guilty of a violation of the constitutional laws of the land.
4th. Wherefore resolved by the General assembly of Maryland, two thirds of all the members of each house concurring, that the Governor be, and he is hereby requested, to remove the said Samuel Chase, from the office of Chief Judge of the General court of this State.
The house ordered a copy of the resolutions to be transmitted to the Chief Justice, and appointed the first day of December for the decision of the said resolutions. On Monday last Mr. Chase appeared at the bar and made his defence, in a speech in which he made three points. 1st. That the house had no jurisdiction of the case, for that a judge was removable only for misbehavior on conviction in a court of law, agreeably to the 40th article in the form of government. 2d. That he was not guilty of any violation of the constitution, by holding, at the same time, the office of Chief Judge of the General Court, and the office of Chief Justice of the Court of Oyer, &c. for Baltimore county. 3d. That if the holding the said two judicial offices was contrary to the constitution, that the punishment proposed, of deprivation of the higher office, was not proportioned to the offence, but unjust, and vindictive. The House adjourned as soon as Mr. Chase had delivered his speech, and on the next day, on motion, that the house assent to the third resolution, the previous question was called for, and put "that the said question be now put;" and twenty-nine members voted in the affirmative and thirty-two in the negative, as follows:
On motion, That the house assent to the third resolution, the previous question was called for and put, "that the said question be now put." The yeas and nays being called for by Mr. Mackall, appeared as follows:
AFFIRMATIVE. Messrs. Dorsey, Hopewell, Mackall, Freeland, Digges, T. Worthington, Merryman, Goldsborough, Carroll, Gale, Nutter, Martin, Gordon, Wootton, Earle, Wilson, Robins, Baer, Jamison, Shriver, Jarrett, Montgomery, Douglass, Schneely, Keffner, Hughes, Davis, Luckett, Lynn—29.
NEGATIVE. Messrs. J. Worthington, Brogden, Ridout, Hall, Brome, M'Pherson, Ridgely, Ridgely, (of William,) Kerr, Harwood, Wynn, man, Frazier, Craig, R. Bond, Hollingsworth, Sprigg, T. Clarke, Quinn, Key, Kent, Brown, Dennis, Whittington, Beatty, J. Bond, M'Coon, Driver, M'Kim, Winchester, Onwale, J. Johnson Cressap—32. So it was determined in the negative.
In consequence of this decision the main question was lost.
After the house had thus refused to put any question on the third resolution:

On motion that the house assent to the Smith resolution, the previous question was called for and put, "that the said question be now put. Resolved in the affirmative."
The main question was then put. The yeas and nays being called for by Mr. Wilton , appeared as follows:
AFFIRMATIVE. Messrs. Dorsey , Hopewell , Digges , Freeland , Goldsborough , Wootton , T. Clark , Robins , Wilton , Baer , Jamison , Beatty , Shriver , Jarrett , Douglas , Schneely , Kenner , Hughes , Davis , Luckett —20.
NEGATIVES. Messrs. J. Worthington , Brogden , Ridout , Hall , Mackall , Bloom , M'Pherson , Ridgely , T. Worthington , Ridgely of William , Merryman , Kerr , Harwood , Carroll , Gale , Nutter , Waggaman , Frazier , Martin , Gordon , Craig , R. Bond , Hollingsworth , Sprigg , Quynn , Key , Kent , Earle , Brown , Dennis , Whittington , J. Bond , M'Comas , Montgomery , Driver , M'Kim , Winchester , O'Neal , J. Johnson , Cresap , Lynn —41. So it was determined in the negative.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO,
It is said by the advocates of the self-created societies , that to censure them is to deprive them of the right of opinion. Have they respected the right of opinion? Who commenced the system of denunciation for opinions? Who held up public characters to the execration of their fellow-citizens, merely for exercising that precious right? Who passed votes of reprobation, who burnt and gibbeted public men for expressing their opinions? The Clubs . And they now find advocates and vindicators in those who pretend to cherish and revere the rights of opinion.
The clubs are said to be now unpopular. Why? they professed themselves the truest friends of the people. But the people have found they were cheats and their worst enemies. They have sown sedition and planted anarchy. They have occasioned an expense to the United States of a million of dollars.
Would the Pittsburg insurgents have gone such lengths, if they had not supposed that serious discontent existed on the sea coast and in the great cities, and if they had not expected aid and support from the discontented in other quarters? It is in proof that there were Democratic Societies in the heart of the country where the rebellion broke out, that the leaders of the societies were the leaders of the rebellion, and that those societies corresponded with the society of Philadelphia and others. There were discontented, 'tis true, in that country, before the existence of democratic societies, but they were nothing more than riots, punishable by process of law. This appears from the speech of Governor Mifflin to the legislature in September last. After the existence of Democratic Societies , then rebellion reared its crest. When the societies were organized and united, when the combustibles were by their agency well prepared, then the flame burst forth. It is too well known to be denied, that the excise was a constant theme of execration by the clubs, that the government was denounced by them as oppressive and corrupt , and that the President was represented by them as a flagrant violator of the constitution , who had violated the rights and interests of the frontier inhabitants; it is equally well known that their resolves were transmitted to all their sister clubs . With these facts before our eyes it is as astonishing that any one in his senses should doubt the agency of the clubs in exciting and fomenting the insurrection, as that any one who pretends to be a friend of order and good government should allow himself their advocate.
But the clubs, say their friends, denounced the insurrection: How did they do it? They affected to disapprove of the mode of opposition; at the same time and in the same resolves they reprobate the excise as the horror of free states ; they tell the people that they are oppressed and ought to execrate the government, and then by poetically advising them to submit to it. Such a flimsy cover could not deceive.
Some of the members, 'tis said, took arms against the insurgents. Incendiaries are sometimes the first to cry fire: by this means they expect to escape detection. Some of the ringleaders of the insurrection are now the warmest friends of order and government. They found that the insurrection was not matured, and that government was too strong: How would they have acted, had it been otherwise?

PHILADELPHIA,
DECEMBER 11.
From a Correspondent.
The good sense of our citizens is relied on to set every thing right. Here is work for them. Let them compare the newspaper fables of the last year with the experience of this, and will they not refuse their confidence and their suffrages to the enemies of good government?
From GUADALOUPE.
Extract of a letter from Citels Le Roy to her husband, Citizen Le Roy (one of the prisoners from Guadalupe, now in this town), dated Bafeterre, 12 Prairial, (2d Nov.) Third year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
"It is with the greatest pleasure that I take the opportunity, by a good Bostonian citizen who is to sail immediately, to inform you that the horrid English government, here, is at an end—our brave Republicans have taken all the forts and redoubts by storm—more than 450 Royalists have fallen victims of the laws.
"Citizen Hugues, our good Commissary, has given to all of us and to our poor children every kind of relief. The Negroes, in the beginning, when they were apprized of the general liberty, seemed to be disposed not to work; but the Commissary after having employed all possible measures to convince them of the necessity of working, took their rebellious leaders, and after trial caused them to be put to death; this struck such terror among the negroes, that they returned directly to their labours, and now are working more than ever.
"The whole island enjoys perfect tranquility, and provisions of every kind are plenty. No English at all are now in our island, and I believe they have given up every idea of returning here.

FREDERICK AUGUSTUS MUHLENBERG, Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States, and President of the Senate.
APPROVED, November 3, 1794.
G o : WASHINGTON, President of the United States.
EDM: RANDOLPH, Secretary of State.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
(Sketch of Tuesday's business continued)
A bill to explain and amend the 22d section of the judicial law received from the Senate was read the third time and passed.
The bill authorizing a loan of two millions of dollars was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
M r . Coit's motion for an enquiry into the state of the mint was taken into consideration—A letter from Mr. Rittenhouse, the Director was read—
M r . Boudinot drew the attention of the house for some time, by a series of the most interesting observations. He went to the bank of the United States to enquire for cents. He was told that there were none to be had, because the bank could not get them from the mint. He then went to the mint, where he was informed that cents were not coined faster, because the officer of the mint did not know where to get them wanted!
He said that this mint cost twenty-four thousand dollars per annum, and every cent coined there cost the public several cents, though he could not exactly tell how many. In New-Jersey far more cents had been coined in a few months than had ever been coined all together, at the Bank of the United States, and this had been done at ONE FOURTH PART of the expense which the mint of the United States has cost.
Several other members adverted to the prodigious inconvenience which is felt all over the union for want of copper coin; and it appeared to excite some curiosity, on what foundation the officers of the mint have said that they could not get their cents wanted. It was remarked by Mr. W. Smith, that, except as to Philadelphia, the mint is of little or no use whatever. The cents given out never go farther than the City.
A committee of three members was appointed to examine and report on the state of the mint, and what means may be used to render the institution more beneficial to the United States.
Wednesday, December 10.
After reading and referring several petitions to the committee of claims—the house took up, though not without opposition, the resolution received from the Senate, for the appointment of a Joint Committee, to report on the business necessary to be transacted this session. The house appeared to be at a loss to determine what was the real object of the resolution—it was generally however contended that it could answer no salutary purpose—might preclude members from bringing forward interesting business, and would not conduce to despatching that before the house:—On the question to concur with the Senate, it passed in the negative. The house adjourned at about half after 12 o'clock.

BOSTON, December 3.
Captain Bombard, who commanded the Ambuscade, has not, as reported, been guillotined. He was in prison, at the date of the latest accounts, and his trial was daily expected.
FROM SPAIN.
A vessel has arrived from Marblehead, in 47 days from Bilbao. Her arrival contradicts the reports of that city being taken by the French.
A Letter from London, lays, positively that the British government has ordered the attachment of the monies remitted to England by Admiral Jarvis and General Grey. Great complaints of their conduct have been made by the British merchants and French loyalists.
BULLION.
In one of the vessels just arrived from France, near Three Tons of silver, in ingots, have been imported. This may be a valuable acquisition to the Mint of the United States.
CORRESPONDENTS.
Every bulletin of the National Convention, received from the last vessels from France, evinces the reign of moderation to have commenced, and in every debate, or official paper, the French people are warned
to beware of those pretenders to patriotism , who take to them exclusif privilege , and whose sole object is to overawe and dictate to the public mind. The next arrival from France it is expected, will announce the annihilation of Jacobinism . It is not surprising that The President of the United States, in his address to Congress, should hold the same language of the " self-created societies ," that the Convention of France do to their constituents in their late address.—The same danger must excite the same caution.
The public may remember to have seen in the Centinel about two years since, the following words spoken by the famous St. Just, at a meeting of the Jacobins.—"There are a hundred thousand conspirators, their heads must all fall, we had better swim through waves of Aristocratic blood, than that a single patriot should receive a scratch." This internal speech was however applauded at the time, and regarded by the thoughtless people, (who admire energy but who do not always distinguish that which is virtuous from the vicious) as a proof of the purest patriotism.—Now this same St. Just was a tyrant, and was sharing the sovereignty of France, with Robespierre and Couthon, when his career was stopped by his injured and insulted fellow-citizens. Such righteous-overmuch , such flaming patriots, are generally hypocrites and villains at bottom. But it is a heart rending reflection, that the "hundred thousand conspirators," whose "heads" St. Just said "must all fall," were the best of men, though in opposition to him, and his brother blood-suckers, and that he really accomplished the destruction of a majority of them, before divine vengeance overtook him.
The Patriots in arms, who have marched to quell the Pittsburgh rebels are called " a standing army ." No doubt those who call them such, would be very happy to announce that army as a running one ."

BEAUTY VANESCENT
THE rainbow, ting'd with various hue
Delights and fascinates the view;
But the bright beauties it displays,
Darken and vanish while we gaze.
Fair CHLOE dreams, in soft repose,
Of dances, operas, billets-doux;
A world of bliss! but, luckless maid,
Soon as thou wak'st, the enchantment's
fed.
The rose, that blooms, upon the bush
And meets the morning blush for blush,
Before the sun's meridian blaze,
Loses its lustre and decays.
What's beauty else! transient as glit-
tering bows,
Or momentary dream, or withering rose!

Before Captain M. left St. Domingo,
the French negroes had taken from the
Spaniards all of their Frontier towns,
St. Raphael, St. Miguel, and Hincha.
The Spanish army had retreated to an-
other small town, called St. Jago, where
they were in the greatest fear. All the
French emigrants that have received the
King of Spain's pay at St. Domingo,
have been ordered to proceed to the
Frontiers, in order to join the Spanish
army; but their fears were great lest
the counterpart of the tragedy of Fort
Dauphin would be acted. Many of
them have refused, and were immedi-
ately put in prison or sent to Porto
Rico.

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