From the New-Jersey Journal. CRISIS, No. III.
On reading the late dispatches of Major Gen. Wayne to the Secretary of War.
THESE dispatches contain a detail of the progress of the Federal Army through the western wilderness; of its achievements at Grand Glaize in possessing themselves of this fertile spot, called "the grand emporium of the hostile Indians of the west;" of the building of two fortresses in that country, named Fort Adams and Fort Defiance; of the overtures of peace, and of the advance of an army prepared for war. They contain an account of a decisive battle on the 20th of August, in which the combination of Indians and their white allies were defeated and driven under the guns of a British fort. And here begins a correspondence between General Wayne and Major Campbell, commander of the post, very interesting, and under circumstances uncommonly critical. It is probable neither of the parties wished to become the aggressor, and yet each wished to preserve a character consistent with the duties of humanity, of their profession, and, it is necessary, of war.
It is not the design of this paper to enter on the discussion of the question of British right to that post, or the justice or policy of their aiding and assisting the savages in their hostilities upon our frontiers; on this subject, with Americans, there is but one opinion, nor is it, in view of the subject this paper means to discuss, necessary to enter upon the great question of peace or war between Great Britain and the United States, now agitating at the court of London. Let this question receive the just impressions which this paper labors equally to make on the hearts both of Americans and Britons.
The theme of this paper was suggested as well by a Briton as by an American. In the course of the interesting correspondence just now noticed, each of the correspondents had recourse, as occasion called, to the unavoidable differences of war . And, perhaps, it is no injustice to say that the sentiments of humanity on this subject appear on each side to have had the most happy effect.
Whether the argument of General Wayne, whilst "actuated by the purest motives of humanity," expressed to the Indians to induce them to terms of peace, "to preserve them and their helpless and distressed women and children from danger and famine, during the present fall and winter" be taken for the theme of this paper—or whether the expressions of Major Campbell, as arguments for the adoption of the extreme measures , be taken, the effect will be the same: "anxious," saith he, "to prevent this dreadful decision, which, perhaps, is not intended to be appealed to by either of our countries"—and again, "will oblige me to have recourse to those measures, which thousands of either nation may hereafter have cause to regret , and which, I solemnly appeal to God, I have used my utmost endeavours to prevent . Who but must applaud such sentiments, fall from whose lips they may, and who but must respect the heart that gave them birth."
How happy for Great Britain, for America, and for all the world, were such sentiments more conspicuous and prevalent. Let Kings, let ministers, let rulers and people take knowledge of the happy example.
The French, in waging their present most interesting war, are most inveterate against the British minister, William Pitt. They consider him as prime minister of destruction—chief butcher to slay mankind. Perhaps the charge may not be wholly groundless:—But an awful charge it is! Awful in its nature and solemn in its effects! Who shall be able to answer when vengeance shall be roused by the cry of slaughtered thousands, and the tears of widows and helpless orphans!
But can this be true of the once amiable and eloquent Mr. Pitt—of the man who, in a most persevering and finally successful minority, once plead the American cause—who labored to arrest the sword of war, and the dire effects of prisons, and prison-hips, against the proud monarch and his aids?—Is this the man who, in parliament, on the auspicious news of Cornwallis's capture, stormed down the haughty North and his friend Lord George Germaine? Is this the man who, then standing erect, with more than common mien, stretched forth his hand, and, with an eloquence, commanding as the threatening clouds, thundered from his place—who, with others, by a brisk and lively play, fired the ministerial hulks through and through? This is indeed the man, yet, alas! how changed from what he was!—Once he plead the cause of freedom,
of independence, and of peace; now first to forge and threaten shackles to the nation struggling for the substance of what it seems, with all his former fire, he deemed a shadow. Once he stormed at arbitrary power, now himself swelling the sole arbiter of peace or war!
Once he pierced the tools of despotism now himself the greater despot of the two. Thus goes the world; to-day this man is a patriot, a man of feeling; to-morrow hardened as the adamant; to-day betraying ministerial prerogatives; to-morrow himself the minister. One while obliging the tools of despotism to call for quarter; at another, despising all quarter and saying, so long as a man or a guinea can be found, let forth the dogs of war.
But is this the picture of man?—of a single one possibly you may say, but if of one, why not of all? Situation and circumstances changed, all is changed.
Thus candidates for office storm themselves into power, and when in power, storm, as best suits their pleasure, at all around. Happy if themselves might be the only sufferers by their relentless, lawless pride and power! But through the storm of war, what engines of grief do they not employ!
Suppose, for a moment, that the sluices of destruction had been opened by the authority of the British ministry in the west—let Wayne storm the fortress, and let the garrison be put to death—and let half of his own men be slaughtered in the feat: what then! in sober sense what reward in carnage and in blood?—But why suppose cases? we see them, in fact, exhibited. Let the British minister come and view the devastation of the territories of his western allies. Let him see their huts burned—their corn fields laid waste—their women and children fled into the thicket and midnight swamp—many fathers and husbands slain, and one general consternation to have seized the aged and the feeble: to say nothing of those who may, on either side, be now groaning of their wounds. But who hath done this? Ask the men who swore the British agents urged to war, tho' the Indians were for peace!
Come, Britons, see what feats of horror an American war is likely to perform! But why talk of the trash of American war to stubborn hearts of oak? They can tell you of higher feats than such as these. Come, say they, survey the frontiers of France, count up the thousands, and tens of thousands, who have been slaughtered through this glut of blood.
If you ask of them their history, in point of war, plunder, and rage for conquest—they will point you to their past ravages, murder and unequalled carnage in the East—they may recite their dark and awful exploits in Africa; and they need no evidence to support their report of devastation in America. Let them visit the prison-hips, and sugar-houses, and tell of thousands made to perish in battles, by sea and land.
But is this the British character? Do they love blood? They love at least the rewards of blood; and all the religion of the established church, seems not able to withhold the sword, when gratification to national pride, or increase to revenue is the object. But shall this ever be the case? Shall there never be a cessation of deeds of blood? Will the ministry never reflect? Will they never indulge the reflection of a single Major, on command of a single post, and in a country where savage manners might be supposed to suppress the reflections of humanity? Alas! that great men should be so easily intoxicated with power, as to deem themselves out of character when not making the dire appeal of war, when not making mankind to feel the thunder of their arm!
But let the savage dance of war, O Britons! and O Americans! never again be roused by the debasing sentiments of ill-founded jealousy, pride, or national fame. May we not, as if one family, live in unity and in love, and enjoy all the sweets of unrestrained intercourse in commerce, and in the tender interchanges of civil life.
Before we, my countrymen, cry out for war, let us calculate the expence of treasure and of blood, of probity and of moral good. And never, O never let our nation be stained, so foully stained, as the nation whose guilt, notwithstanding her boasted prowess, many believe is soon to pass in solemn review before the Judge of all the earth. Never let us sound the horrid alarm of war, until we can say we are on justifiable ground, we are of necessity urged to "that
* During the debate above alluded to, thro' the shafts of Mr. Pitt and others, the ministry were so pressed as to be obliged to send (as was then said, and he soon appeared) for the time serving Dundas, as he then was called, alias Lord Advocate of Scotland, to appease the threatening storm.
dreadful decision, which, though thousands may have cause to repent it, we make a solemn appeal to God, we have used our utmost endeavours to arrest ."

FOR THE TOMB OR GRAVE OF ROBESPIERRE.
Whether he dies by assassination, by the guillotine, or pendant from a Lamp Iron.
E P I T A P H.
Mingled with his native dirt, HERE Are deposited the despicable remains OF MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE, AN INHABITANT OF FRANCE, Who by murder, robbery, tyranny, cruelty and oppression, AT A CRITICAL MOMENT, Rais'd himself into public notice; and in a short process of time became one of the most VINDICTIVE TYRANTS That the world ever saw. There was no species of crime against HIS KING, HIS GOD, and HIS COUNTRY, That he did not practice for a short space with IMPUNITY. He was a Christian, Atheist, or Deist, as best suited the diabolical principles of his mind. HIS GRAND OBJECT was POWER; And his footsteps, to mount the throne of despotism, were diurnally marked with the innocent blood of THOUSANDS OF SLAUGHTERED VICTIMS.
He wore the features of MARCUS BRUTUS, To conceal the principles of NERO; And attempted the patriotism of CATO, Whilst his bosom rankled with all the vindictive Malice of CAIUS CALIGULA. He entertained no idea of the reality of TRUTH.
VIRTUE and VICE Were to him synonymous terms, to be used as occasion might require, for the operation of HYPOCRISY.
And as he had no friend in the world, so he was an enemy to ALL MANKIND.
The terror of THE GUILLOTINE For a short time made him feared; but he never had the real respect of ANY MAN.
And as he liv'd UNBELOVED, So he died UNLAMENTED.
THE WILL OF PROVIDENCE Seemed to have marked him out as an instrument to chastise the inhabi- tants of France for per- mitting their KING and QUEEN To be basely murdered.
But as a proof that he was no favourite with Heaven, THE ALMIGHTY Caused him to fall A PUBLIC SACRIFICE To the just vengeance of AN INSULTED PEOPLE.
From the New-York Daily Gazette.
MR. M'LEAN,
A pamphlet entitled, "The Trial of DANIEL ISAAC EATON, for publishing a supposed Libel, comparing the King of England to a Game Cock," has lately made its appearance, and in my opinion, is, in some respects, not the least excellent, among the several reports with which we have, from time to time, been presented.—This man, who appears to be a bookseller, was arrested, and committed to prison, where he lay three months, because his poverty or want of a friendly patron, would not admit of finding bail, himself in 100 l. and two sureties in 500 l. each. At the expiration of that term his trial commenced at the Old Baily; and it yields singular pleasure to humanity, that the jury, after retiring one hour, returned a verdict of not guilty . If we reflect upon the tyranny exercised north of the Tweed, upon several deserving characters, who labored, in concert with Mr. Pitt and the Duke of Richmond, to effect a reform in Parliament, we cannot but stand astonished, that any man could be found hardy enough to decide a praise worthy conduct to be sedition, as was the case with Munr, Gerald, &c. It is equally strange, and equally claims attention, that a man was found guilty for merely re-publishing Mr. Pitt's speeches, and the Duke of Richmond's letter; things not deemed culpable a few years since, but now prodigiously criminal. The instance before
us of poor Eaton, is some relief to the mind; and I hope (utterly disinterested as I am) that he re-publisher (Mr. Wayland) will experience the public favor in a rapid sale. I would however, suggest to him, that 25 l. is too much for a book of its size. I think it would do better at 15. 6 d. It would be more profitable to himself, and more within the reach of the indigent. He must reflect, that the public are almost fated with matters of this sort:—Policy will then induce him to attend to the recommendation.
Mr. Gurney's speech in favor of the defendant is an elegant thing, and must afford pleasure to every reader of taste. If he is a young man he certainly bids fair for eminence. He says (and the sentiment is obviously applicable) "The Empress of Russia is the Shepherdesse of a vast flock; but as it was not sufficiently numerous for the exercise of her boundless phantasies , she has lately, by a little gentle compulsion, augmented it by a considerable number of the Polish breed. She and our worthy ally, the King of Prussia, have gone hand in hand, in this blessed word of encreasing their flocks. To-day neither you nor I should chuse to call these two monarchs Wolf shepherds ; but I fancy we should none of us be disposed to punish very severely the man who did." Again. "Gentlemen, if you find the defendant guilty, consider what you determine, under the awful sanction of an attestation of the Supreme being. You swear to the truth of every word and syllable of this indictment. You swear that by this Game Cock, this haughty and sanguinary tyrant, nursed from his infancy in blood and slaughter, is meant the King of Great Britain and no other. You swear, too, that that King is a tyrant, for so the indictment charges him to be. You swear that an observation on Kings in general, must necessarily include him. Besides that, you not only swear that so you understand it, but that so did the defendant mean. Can you lay your hands on your hearts and swear all this? Can you lie down on your pillows without feeling thorns in the reflection that that man, who has already been imprisoned near three months upon indictment, is to be imprisoned two or three years longer, and his wife and children reduced to beggary and want, because you have fancied that a sense prima facie to foreign, may possibly belong to this paper." An extract cannot do justice to a speech, brilliant throughout. The public is referred to the book itself.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 5.
Translated for the Minerva, from the Gazette Francaise of this day. Capt. Smith from Port au Prince
and de l'Arbaye, informs us that about the beginning of October, the negroes and mulattoes surprised the town of Leogane; they gave 4 days for the inhabitants to retire; many retired to Port au Prince, but most of them who were established there remain.
A respectable person arrived here with his family the day before yesterday from Guadalupe, who was an eye witness of all that passed after the invasion of the French, and has given us the following particulars. On the 7th Oct. the National Commissary Hugues accompanied by about 300 republicans and from 4 to 500 negroes well armed, landed at Lamartine and Port Louis, and immediately attacked, on all sides, Major Graham, who was entrenched at the post of St. Jean. The English repulsed the assailants, and flew on the first attacks about 100 republicans and 8 or 900 negroes, who threw themselves furiously upon the entrenched men. At last the Commissary sent word to the Major, that, hopeless of succor, it was idle to expose so many men to certain death, and that unless he would capitulate upon the field, he, the Commissary, would put all the English to the sword. Major Graham, finding himself destitute of provisions and ammunition, determined to surrender a prisoner of war, with the 250 men who remained. He demanded permission for about 180 inhabitants who were with him, to retire; but he obtained it only for 25, who were put into an open boat. It was not known what became of them; doubtless they attempted to escape, but it is too probable they fell into the hands of the blacks.
Of this whole Island, there remains to the English only the Fort of Basse-terre, where General Prescott is enclosed, with 300 men, and it is supposed he may hold out 3 months, having taken the precaution to destroy all the batteries on the heights which command the fort.
The same person relates that since the arrival of the Republicans, about 12 persons have been guillotined—that the Negroes have received their liberty with great satisfaction, but they wish to enjoy it in its full latitude, without any of the rules and conditions imposed on them, by the French—that they are unwilling to suffer the sequestration of the houses—that they have massacred most of the whites they can find, and exercise the most violence towards the females who are so unfortunate as to fall into their hands.
EASTON, MARYLAND, October 21.
In the great Republic of the United States the people are not only the acknowledged right of government, but are actually contemplated by the constitution as executive agents in the administration of laws when opposed—as they are to be "called out to suppress insurrection and to carry the laws of the Union into execution."
Our general government rests upon principles and maxims —it relies on the wisdom of the people to feel the truth and force of these—it is unprovided with any compulsory machinery but what may be put into action under some of these high and may say sacred principles—These must be held inviolate, or that which they sustain must tumble to the ground—Either free and general obedience to law must take place or anarchy must follow. Nor is it by any means wished that constitutional opposition to laws should be obstructed—for that would be as contrary to the estimable principles of the constitution as opposition by force would be.
PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER 8.
A correspondent remarks,
That the General Advertiser, is in one respect as useful as an Almanack—for as our winters are generally ushered in with a series of foul weather, so it is observable that about the same period, the paper in question assumes a more eldly aspect, and emits filth in greater abundance. It is difficult to account for this phenomenon. unless we suppose, that the Editor's natural bias for bespattering the public, acquires at this particular season, an additional activity, from the increase of well withers dirty work .
Says a Correspondent,
Factions are natural disease in the body politic—they are not on that account less dangerous to liberty which is the health of the body. Our mischievous faction is a disease like the leprosy, which deforms, enfeebles and pollutes the victim it is going to destroy. This action have a fancy, like the Hottentots, to make the government smal

strong in our nostrils—They shew their zeal for this country and their abhorrence of foreign influence—How? By avowing their abomination of our own systems and laws, and a devotedness to foreign—These are strange things for the haters of European influence to allege. Some Americans think we should respect ourselves. The faction cannot do that. They may do almost anything, living always what such men owe to their principles and their zeal for the national union and constitution. They can however, no more respect themselves than they can respect one another.
The detachment of Philadelphia light horse which arrived in town last week, with prisoners from Bedford, consisted of Lieut. Pritchard, (commanding the escort,) with Messrs. Grubb, Brown, Harris and Meade, from Capt. McConnell's troop—M c T. Kirt, and King, from Captain Stager's troop—and Messrs. Johnston, Mease, Nichols, W h itson, Burrowes and Claypoole, from Captain Dunlap's troop.
Extract of a letter from Citizen Joel Barlow, at Hamburg to his friend in this City, dated August 22.
"I HAVE just received a letter from my friend in Amsterdam, who informs that the Republican army of France is momentarily expected in that City, & that two thirds of the inhabitants thereof would be very glad to see them."
"The affairs of France, since the fall of Robespierre, wear the most pleasing and agreeable appearance, and the Patriotic Soldiers are themselves astonished at their own success in every quarter."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Marietta, dated October 27.
"Last evening an account arrived here, that Mr. Elliot, the Contractor, was killed by the Indians, about 15 days ago, between Forts Washington and Hamilton. This account may be depended on."
Extract of a letter, from an officer in the Quarter Master General's department, dated Bonnet's, near Cherry's, Nov. 3.
"I have just received orders to proceed 13 miles, to Budd's, and the Young, to lay off a camp, to which the army marches to-morrow. Gen. Lee marches from Union Town to Peter's, half way between Budd's and Parkinson's Ferry, and here, I have no doubt, will be the ultimate point of march for the main army."
"I hear of no body complaining in this camp, but am told they are rather sickly in the left wing. This I expect, will reach you before my letter by the Governor's express; as he travels slow, being heavy laden with returns, &c. We have lain here two days. To-morrow there will be an inspection of the troops, who have hitherto been well supplied with provisions. I have a small keg of brandy yet untouched, which is valued here three to one above wine. The weather for two or three days has been fine, and we have no difficulty to encounter but extreme bad roads. Forage has been rather scant, but at present we have a pretty good stock."
Extract of a letter from Mr. Benjamin Ellicott at Pittsburgh, to his brother in this City, dated 3 rd October, 1794.
"I arrived at this place from Fort Le Boeuf yesterday. The Six Nations of Indians have declared for peace, and have given Mr. Adlum leave to survey. I attribute their pacific disposition to the good success of General Wayne."
"The army is about 30 miles from this place, and is expected here in about three days. Numbers of the insurgents have gone down the river, and some of them have been taken. The whiskey poles are all cut down, and there seems to be a disposition to submit to the laws. Not one of the 300 insurgents that marched into this place are to be found that will take up arms against government."

A gentleman in the city offered, a few days ago for 10 L. to pay a guinea a day during the remainder of Barrere's life.
Capture of St. Sebastian and Tolosa.
On Saturday the Spanish Minister attended a meeting of the Spanish Merchants at Batons Coffee House, Cornhill. The purport of this meeting was to consult on what steps were necessary to be taken upon the alarming and rapid progress made by the French in the maritime and plentiful province on Biscay, since the capture of the pass and the city of Fontarabia. By the letters received the latter end of last week it appears that the French are pouring in fresh troops every day, and
that they carry every thing before them the inhabitants being neither capable or willing to resist. The cities of St. Sebastian and Tolosa were entered without firing a shot; at the latter, the people went in crowds to meet the French and the very same day, at a general assembly, the whole of the inhabitants solemnly accepted the French constitution, and swore to maintain it. The Merchants, Ecclesiastics, and Nobles had fled, but all their property and effects were put into a state of requisition.
A body of ten thousand French, with a large train of artillery and plenty of necessaries, marched the next day to secure all the passes in the country towards Bilboa, and another body were to follow them in a few days, for the avowed purpose of besieging that important mercantile city—in fine the whole province of Biscay, with its trading ports as first stated in our paper of the 26 th ult. was in the most imminent danger of being surrendered to the Carmagnols unless some speedy and powerful assistance could be obtained. The result of this meeting is to be laid before the Ministers.
The very important part of Spain which is now in danger of being over-run by the French, contains more sea ports and harbours than all the remainder of the Spanish territories in Europe, and is indeed, of very great importance to the mercantile interest of Great Britain and Ireland. The imports into England are very material to our manufactures, particularly in the articles of Spanish wool and steel; they likewise import hides, goats skins, honey, fruit, wine, and other native productions. They take in return almost every article of British manufacture, either for ease, convenience or luxury.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
20 Thermidor—August 1.
A Member asked leave of absence to go and look after his harvest.
Duhem. "At the moment when aristocracy and moderation are raising their heads, no leave of absence ought to be granted."
Thuriot. "I move that Duhem be authorized to make a funeral oration for Robespierre; for if it be said that we make aristocracy triumph, because we have laid conspirators low, we must cease to exist."
Duhem. "If to have been fifteen months in danger of my life to have been the partizan of Robespierre," He was interrupted; the member who asked leave of absence withdrew his request, and the Convention passed to the order of the day.
Charlier. "All the Deputies ought to be now at their posts; they are entrusted with the happiness of the people, before which, all private interests ought to vanish. I move that such of our Colleagues as are absent on leave, return within ten days."
Bernard de Saintes. "Several of our Colleagues, after obtaining leave of absence from the Convention, have obtained millions from the Committee of Public safety. I move that such members be ordered to return within ten days."
Dubouchet. "I move that the Convention recall all such of its members as have been on missions for more than six months. Great powers ought not to be left long in the same hands."
All these propositions were decreed in the following terms:
 1. The million of Representatives of the People to the armies, shall not continue for more than six months.  2. The millions of Representatives of the people to the departments, shall not continue for more than three months.  3. Representatives of the People, who have been on missions beyond the terms specified in the preceding articles, shall be instantly recalled. 
The Convention also decreed, that all members absent on leave, even if since charged with commissions in their respective departments, shall be bound to return within ten days.
Several Members stated that attempts were making to mislead the sections of Paris on the subject of releasing prisoners.
Vadier said he knew that such attempts were making, and that the Committee of Public Safety, anxious to relieve the oppressed Patriots, was frequently interrupted by the clamorous applications of Aristocrats, for the re-
lease of their own friends. So false, the Committee could hardly sometimes avoid falling into errors; but these errors they would soon correct.
Tureau proposed, that as the sections of Paris had always shewn themselves ready to listen to reason, the Convention should invite them to be on their guard against the snares that were laid for them.—Decreed.
Granet. "You have passed a wise decree, which orders that the names of prisoners released, and of the persons who have applied for their release, shall be printed. Of many of the latter you will probably hear no more. I move that in all such cases, the persons released be again taken into custody."—Murmurs.
Duhem and Charles supported this motion. The latter menaced Killemain as a person released, although he had been the real cause of evacuating the Camp of Caeser.
Several Members spoke to Killemain's good character, and others against it. It was announced that he was still in custody and to be tried, and the Convention passed to the order of the day.
Granet gave in a copy of his motion.
Merlin of Thionville. "If you adopt the measure proposed, you will sanction the greatest injustice. We have released citizens detained for six, eight, and ten months, without any cause assigned; can you without injustice throw them into prison again? It is time, citizens, it is more than time that no faction (loud applause from all parts of the hall) rise on the steps of Robespierre's throne. There are persons whose insignificance when left to themselves is well known. There are persons who have never done good, but by force of evil, under the auspices and protection of Robespierre and Couthon; since we have been placed in the committee of general safety, to stand in opposition to tyrants, we will carry our heads, but not as Robespierre did, to the scaffold, or we will take the necessary measures to blast the success of tyrants. Nothing ought to be done by halves, and we must admit that the convention has done many things by halves."
"If there are tyrants still among us let them at least be silent; the committee of general safety, in the multitude of affairs that press upon it, may have, without intending it, released some aristocrats. These may again be found. Besides, to guard against errors, it was yesterday resolved that whoever is rich enough to wait, although innocently detained, shall not be released till the cases of the poor prisoners are examined."
I move therefore the order of the day; and request that our colleagues, instead of putting themselves in a passion with us when they think we have done wrong, will come frankly and candidly to the committee, and tell us the error we have committed, with the means of repairing it. They ought not to give room to fear that the lists they call for may be one day made lists of proscription.—(Murmurs)—Yes, of proscription, for on the last festival, the shade that appeared on the usual gaiety of many citizens, was owing to the terror inspired by the bare mention of these very lists."
This speech was frequently interrupted by applause.
Legendre made a conciliating speech. He said he was convinced that they all meant the same thing, namely, the good of the republic, although they differed in opinion as to the means of obtaining it. The committee of general safety had made some mistakes, as when they released the ci-devant dukes d'Aumont and Valentenois, but these two were again taken into custody. If the list of prisoners enlarged were to be printed, the charges against them ought also to be printed, and then the most frivolous and contemptible motives would appear.
Tureau was for printing the list of those who applied for the release of prisoners.
Tallien. "I consider this as one of the most important fittings we have had since the death of the tyrant. Yes, the Convention must be told the whole truth; attempts are making to lead it to the brink of a precipice, and to annihilate it. For several days we have seen attempts making to set individuals against each other, to revive the quarrels and the passions which ought all to be buried in the grave of Robespierre. As I came into the Hall a note was put into my hand, informing me, that several members would be attacked this sitting. Such rumors are the fabrications of aristocracy. It is not this or that man that they want to destroy, they wish to dissolve the Convention. Let us not assist our enemies in their attempts to sow division among us: Let Ennui know that we are on our guard, and are
not to be misled by our private passions. Let us shew that we are sent hither to attend to the interests of the people, not to quarrel and dispute with one another."
Continuators of Robespierre hope not for success. The mass of the Convention is resolved to perish on the spot, or annihilate all tyrants, whatever mask they may wear.—(Loud applause.) Attempts have been made to annihilate the Convention; to circulate that it is not for the Revolutionary Government, or is for a just government in the sense of the Aristocrats. No, the Convention is not for a government just in the sense of the Aristocrats, nor in the sense of the Feudalists, but for a government just in the sense of the people—The Committee of General Safety may have released some aristocrats, but I am ready to own that I would rather see twenty aristocrats at liberty, whom if we please we may take again to-morrow, than a single patriot to remain in prison.—What! Shall the Republic, with her twelve hundred thousand armed citizens, be afraid of a few aristocrats? If we cannot restore union among ourselves, liberty is at an end. But I see a more flattering prospect. Liberty will triumph. The Convention will declare to all those who would imitate the tyrant we have overthrown, that it is here to strike them; that it is for a Revolutionary Government, just but firm, severe, but which shall not make citizens tremble; for terror is the instrument of tyranny, severe only to the enemies of liberty; giving confidence to fathers of families and honest men; a government, which without granting impunity to the former, shall secure the latter from being torn from all they hold most dear, which shall secure them from being imprisoned, because they happen to be in the same house with a man who deserves to be imprisoned.
You are, perhaps, ignorant, that many orders of arrest ran in these words: Citizen A. and the other persons who shall be found in the same house. Do you wish that a list of those who have been the victims of such practices should be confounded with the list of persons against whom there are just causes of suspicion? I move the repeal of the decree for printing lists of the prisoners released by the committees of Public and General Safety, and the order of the day on Granet's motion."
Bernard de Saintes complained of the harshness of Merlin and Tallien, who aimed at degrading all those who did not embrace the same opinion with themselves. He supported the decree, the report on which he moved, and added, that such a decree could only be formidable to traitors, at the same time that the suppression of it would clog the operations of the committee.
Bentabole agreed that the proposition for the publishing of the list was agreeable to every principle, but dreaded that it would pave the way for proscriptions. It might besides be productive of an infinite number of accusations of deputy against deputy, and would certainly nourish suspicions and mistrust, forming a dangerous division in the convention. He agreed that the committee of general safety had been guilty of errors; these ought to be repaired, or a other committee chosen.
Bourdon of Oise spoke in terms of conciliation, and proposed printing only a list of the prisoners released, but not of those who applied for the release of prisoners.
Merlin of Thionville, said, the reasons against printing one list were equally valid against printing the other. If either was printed it would be made a proscription list, or the enrollment of a faction. A list might be kept by the committee of general safety, for the perusal of members of the Convention. The question was put and carried in favor of the motion made by Bourdon of Oise.
Tallien. "Since you resolve to print a list of the prisoners released, I move that you print also a list of those who caused them to be imprisoned."
This proposition was instantly adopted; but in a moment's recollection several members observed that it was little less than a signal for a civil war.
Tallien. "I had no object in making my motion, but to convince the Convention how dangerous was the decree they had before passed. I am ready to agree to the repeal of both."
Amar, Monastier, spoke for the repeal of both decrees, and they were repealed accordingly.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8.
Married on Thursday evening last, by the Rev. Dr. EWING, Mr. JOHN COOK, to Miss REBECCA WALLACE, both of this City.
This morning between 1 and 2 o'clock, the City was alarmed with the cry of fire, which broke out in a brick house in Spruce-street between 4 th and 5 th streets—the upper chambers and roof of the house were destroyed before the fire could be got under—Thro' the exertions of the citizens the flames were prevented from making further devastation—This misfor-
tune we hear, was occasioned by a candle being left burning in an upper chamber which fell, and caught a bundle of papers, which communicated the flames to the wainscot.
To the Merchants of the United States.
At the special request of the secretary of state, the committee appointed by the merchants of Philadelphia, have undertaken to obtain copies of the proceedings of the courts in the British Islands, in the West-Indies: Bermuda, the Bahamas, and in their colonies, in North America, upon the cases of American vessels, and property tried in the courts in any of the said Islands, or colonies.
The Committee therefore give this public notice, that all persons concerned who have not already obtained authentic copies of the proceedings, in their particular cases, may furnish the Secretary of State with the names of the vessels, and matters, the places where the trial was had the time when, and such other circumstances as the nature of the case may require.
It is deemed important that these particulars be furnished as soon as possible.
Nov. 8, 1794. The publishers of newspapers throughout the United States are requested to insert the above.
For the information of the Merchants.
The committee having been notified by the Secretary of State, that the Agent of claims and appeals appointed by the President of the United States is to embark immediately for London, and that he is authorized to bind the United States under the direction of Mr. Jay, for the costs and damages, attending the prosecution of the claims of American citizens, that the necessary counsel will be engaged on the part of the United States; and that if the parties will obtain copies of the proceedings of the Courts on their respective cases, the expense of the records will be reimbursed by the United States.
They are of opinion that measures ought to be immediately taken for obtaining authenticated copies of such records and proceedings in all cases where they have not already been procured, and will undertake to obtain them for all such of their fellow-citizens as shall within 20 days from this date furnish the names of the vessels and masters; the ports or places where tried or condemned with such other information as the circumstances of the case may require.
They recommend to those who have already obtained the copies of the proceedings of the Courts to have them examined by some person of legal knowledge—that if they should be found defective in any respect the deficiency may be supplied, at the same time that the records are applied for, in behalf of the Committee.

Forty dollars reward. RAN AWAY from the Subscriber on Saturday night the 11th inst. A Mulatto LAD, named Bill, generally called Bill Madden, about 17 or 18 years of age, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, of a slim make, has fair black hair, which he sometimes wears tied, but generally loose; he has been accustomed to wait altogether in a house, and having been much indulged, has become too idle to work for a support. He took with him a brown fullian double breasted long coat, one drab coatee, with red cuffs and cape, the pocket flaps and skirt trimmed with red edge, a fustian waistcoat a pair of buckskin breeches, a pair of red striped trowsers, and several other cloaths, also a pair of boots, half-boots. It is probable he has a forged pass, and will endeavour to pass as a free man. From every circumstance, I am led to believe he went off with a white woman, and that they had taken their passage in a vessel bound to Philadelphia. The above reward will be paid to any person delivering me the said servant, and reasonable charges for bringing him home. Daniel Carroll. Of Duddington. City of Washington, Oct. 20 Oct. 7 *gtaw2w

To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia.
WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church.
As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no portion by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honorable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truth of the highest importance, will seriously examine these Works; for in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
