LETTER XIII.—AND LAST.
BEFORE you, my fellow citizens, by whose labours the Revolution was accomplished—between whom the dangers and sufferings of the war formed a communion most dear—in whose hands is placed the future destiny of our Government; I now impeach the apologies offered by the "Societies, as militating against the holy interest of Republicanism."
The decision of this point has been so much prepared by the previous difficulties, that a summary application of them will be sufficient to elucidate it. The essence of Republicanism consists in the free will of the majority of the people, either ascertained without fraud in those cases, in which they reserve to themselves the right of acting—or expressed by the public servants, holding their offices during pleasure, for a limited time; or during good behaviour.
This is not the language of an intemperate warmth, it is the same that was delivered by the Legislature of Massachusetts several years ago against the Cincinnati, before they had corrected their constitution. Mark how well the observations are adapted to the situation of the Democratic Societies:
"And at each meeting the principles of the institution will be fully considered, and the best measures to promote them adopted." "Hence it appears that the said Society takes upon itself the power of adopting such measures as, after full consideration, they shall judge best for promoting certain important public and national purposes—for which purpose the people of these United States have constituted and established their respective Legislatures and Congresses."
dict, to afford their aid to the several powers of the established government, lawfully exercised, for the preservation of the common rights and promoting the union of these confederate states; yet for any class of men to form themselves into a select society, and convene expressly for the purpose of deliberating upon, judging of and adopting measures concerning matters, proper only for the cognizance of the legislative and their derivative thereon, or of such other bodies as are known in the constitution, or authorized by the laws of the land, favors of a disposition aspiring to become independent of lawful and constitutional authority; tending, if unrestrained, to imperium in imperio, and consequently to confusion and the subversion of public liberty."
Let those who have affected an unmeaning surprise that Democratic Societies have been denounced in the year 1794 in the United States, in France, and in Great Britain, learn from hence, that ten years ago the virtuous and enlightened legislature of a state, which was the cradle of American liberty, let the example.
One of the Societies, less cautious, more furious, or more candid than the rest, boldly confesses its object, by declaring that solitary opinions have little weight but that opinions united strike. Yes, this is the secret—Perceiving that as individuals they would be matched by other individuals, in purity of motive, soundness of argument, and fitness of conduct, they abandon their individual character, and erect themselves into a kind of corporation, whose united opinions will, even from the single circumstance of their being those of a body, impose with an air of respectability on such as do not take the trouble of thinking for themselves.
"That private associations are sanctioned by the first principles of social life" has been acknowledged, and if individuals will assemble as individuals, in any numbers, at any time, or at any place, they ought to be protected, because they will then have no other force than of so many individuals. It is thus that a minority of the legislature acts, whose sentiments the Societies profess to adopt.
In debate they oppose without reserve any measure projected; although it is decided against their conviction they speak out of doors merely as individuals, and do not combine to execute, as a Society, what they could not individually accomplish.
Another of the Societies frankly owns, notwithstanding the arrogant pretensions of some of its brethren, that they are neither the people nor the delegates of the people—but at the same time, it contends that they can have no interest distinct from that of the people. Before confidence in this assertion can be expected, they must be as the people; they must not separate themselves into clubs, from which the people are excluded, and establish a political order, into which no citizen can enter without being formally chosen.
ry of abusing the government without remorse.
It is a paltry gloss, that government is in no danger from the Societies, if those who administer it mean no harm. Upon the opinion of the people its existence depends, and when the representations, upon which that opinion is built, are corrupt or delusive, who can pronounce the issue?
Besides those parts of the apologies which subvert the true ideas of republicanism, there are others of a miscellaneous kind, which cannot be passed over in silence.
It is not absolutely denied, that the insurrection was countenanced by certain of those Societies; and also they are reluctant in calling blame upon each other; yet have the most of them demanded to be tried according to their separate acts.
So expressly had power been granted to Congress to lay and collect excises, and so thoroughly had it been recognized by the courts of Pennsylvania, that on this head government was invulnerable. Conscious of this, the individual who planned the insurrection had no better prospect of success, than by cultivating and heightening the prejudices, imported against the excise system from the abuses of it abroad.
For in the midst of the convulsion, the excise was described and execrated by the Societies, as the corner stone of corruption and tyranny; and it would be within the limits of truth to assert,
that the disgust inculcated against the excise, produced a momentary but serious struggle in some breasts, in judging of the insurrection.
The members of the Societies, who united with the patriotic army, being unknown to me, I cannot be supposed to make a personal allusion, which shall divulge their motives. Instead, therefore, of tracing up their conduct to an anxiety to repel the imputation of indirectly fomenting an insurrection, which grew out of the opposition to the excise, and to the necessity of falling in with the people, who were discovered to be found friends to the government, I am content to believe, that many of those very men laudably distinguished between a defiance of the laws, and a constitutional mode of repeal.
The utmost which can be deduced from the march of the democratic members, is, that the Societies are composed of various descriptions of men, among whom are some not apprized of the lengths, to which they may be carried, and are allured by the reward of being classed as patrons of liberty.
One of the Societies has considered it as a phenomenon, that in the United States, France and Great-Britain, Democratic Societies have been denounced in the same year. As the comparison between the United States and France will be most conclusive, I shall pass by Great-Britain, and ask whether this declaration is not a clear acknowledgment that the Jacobins and Democratic Societies strongly resemble each other?
That nothing may be unassayed, to cajole the people into an apprehension for the liberty of the press, it has been gravely asserted, that the abolition of Democratic Societies would preclude anonymous publications. Without running through all the topics of distinction between the two cases, let us select for a short comparison a libel on a private character by a resolution of the Societies, and a similar libel by the anonymous publication of an individual.
If now it be asked, what is expected from these letters? The answer is, to prevail upon you, my fellow-citizens, to reflect on your situation; and to imitate your ally, the French nation, by quenching what has been a firebrand to them, and may be a firebrand to us.
Heaven has entrusted to your arms the happiest country upon earth. Cure it not, by wilfully nourishing the seeds of its destruction. The same blow which shall assassinate the constitution, will annihilate the Union, and entail upon us for ages the miseries of civil war.

PARIS, January 20.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Richard organ of the committee of Public Safety appeared at the tribune.
The army of the north, he said pursues with unparalled rapidity the course of its conquests: according to the last dispatches we received the republicans are this very moment at Utrecht only 20 miles from Amsterdam.
NIMEGUEN, Jan. 17.
The inclemency of the season and all the disadvantages resulting from one of the most rigorous winters are not sufficient to stop the republican warriors a single moment in their glorious career, as soon as the interest of the republic is mentioned.
Signed Bellegarde, La Cotte, Toubert, Representatives of the people.
The general in chief of the army of the North to the representatives of the people at Nimeguen.
Don't lose a single moment of time to let out for Utrecht which will, must be ours before the sun sets.
Signed PICHEGRU. January 25.
The news of the taking of Amsterdam was whispered in the hall; an individual mentioned the capture of a considerable number of British ships; the minds of all the people were at once electrified by an irrefragable enthusiasm; thousands and thousands, shouts of Long live the Republic—long live our brave armies, resounded in the hall.
The deliberation was interrupted, and the President seeing the impossibility of continuing it, sent to the committee of public safety, in order to inquire whether the report was true.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 21.
The representatives of the people near the armies of the North and of Sambre and Meuse, to the members composing the committee of public safety.
Dear Colleagues, "We are at Amsterdam, and all Holland is in the hands of the Republic. The Stadtholder fled with his whole family, and if a few fortresses still hold out, they certainly will soon open their gates to the Republicans, for we received notice this very moment, that the States General has already given the necessary orders."
We wait for the news from the division which is ordered to march against the Hague, and intend afterwards to pay a visit to that place.
The new conquests offer us immense treasures, invaluable magazines, superb dock yards, excellent harbours, a whole fleet, and particularly in the commercial and political scale of Europe, a decided preponderance, the effect of which it is impossible to calculate.
Carnot added, that the remainder of the letter was relative to some disposi-

which prudence prevented from rendering public.
The letter terminated as follows: "Two of us intend immediately to set out for Paris, in order to communicate to you some important details which cannot be trusted to a letter."
"We shall not mention the truly brilliant reception we were honoured with on our arrival at Amsterdam; we remember only the cordiality and frankness of that good people."
The applause which interrupted Carnot at each sentence, were now renewed.
Carnot. The committee proposes you to decree, that the armies of the North and Sambre and Meuse, who have just terminated the conquest of Holland, do not cease to deserve well of their country.
Blads. This is no proportionate recompence for the extraordinary exploits of the armies of the North. I demand that the Convention decree, that the heroes of the North and Sambre and Meuse, don't cease to deserve well of our country.
Carnot. The good fate of the republic, and circumstances, contributed as much as the intrepidity of our troops, to the conquest of Holland; and the other armies displayed not less valour, though their position did not permit them to assist at the conquest of Holland. The army of La Vendee in particular, which was least spoken of, fought with as much intrepidity, and endured unheard-of hardships with uncommon patience and fortitude.
The duty of freemen is not to idolatrize neither an individual, nor even a fraction of the republican family. I oppose the motion of our colleague Blads.
Bourdon. All our soldiers are heroes; it is not less difficult to take a rock surrounded by the everlasting ice which covers the Alps and the Pyrenees, than to conquer Holland. I propose the order of the day. Adopted.
January 31. The sections of William Tell and Brutus felicitate the Convention on the over throw of the reign of terror, and pray that the remains of Robespierre's faction be not spared.—Honourable mention.
February 1.
The sum of 118,000 livres was appropriated, for the support of the widows of the defenders of the country.
Laingnot. "I come in the name of the committee of General Security, to give you an account of what happened at the Theatre of the Street Faydeau, yesterday. A crowd of young men, brought together no doubt by the royalists and terrorists, threw down the statue of Marat. The committee saw in Marat a representative of the people whose memory had been solemnly honoured, and consequently the breaking of his bust was an insult to the Convention. Until time shall have confirmed or taken off the apotheosis of Marat, until a new decree of the Convention shall have withdrawn Marat from the Pantheon, Marat ought to be respected."
After some further observations the order of the day was called for and adopted.
February 2.
It was observed that the nation should be at no expence to support any form of religious worship; and on motion, decreed, that the committee of finances and public instruction shall report within ten days on the subject of the sale of churches.
Claudel, in the name of the committee of general security, read a letter from the representatives with the armies of the North, Sambre and Meuse:
"We have just had an interview with the minister plenipotentiary from the Hague. "I go to Paris," said he, with the most unlimited powers to treat with the French People. I fulfil the mission with pleasure, for since the 9th of Thermidor you have a government; but if Robespierre had lived, I should not have undertaken it."
"What a source of reflexions, continued Claudel, do these few words afford a man who thinks! Is it the system of terror, which we have prostrated, or the principles of equity that now guide the Convention, that now make the coalesced powers tremble?"—Insertion in the bulletin was decreed.
Guiton Morveau, in the name of the committee of public safety, presented an account of the situation, arsenals and magazines of the Republic, of which the following was part:
In the month of Frimaire only, the foundries destined to supply the armies, furnished 500 cannon: the immense quantity of pieces of artillery we possess permit us to employ the copper of our bells to copper bottom our ships.
Thirty foundries are employed, day and night, for the service of the navy;
and in one year they have produced 15,000 great guns.
The manufactories of arms of all kinds furnished, in one year, 12,000,000 bullets, in seven months 7,600 artillery wagons, and 10,000 gun carriages; and each decade 3,000 sabres and 4,000 bayonets.
The manufactories of Paris, in 13 months, have fabricated 157,000 muskets.
After the reading of the report it was decreed, that the jury of arms and inventions of war cease its functions on the 10th inst.
February 3.
It was decreed, that 3,000 livres should be paid to the widow of Philippeaux.
February 5.
Echafferaux the elder, read a report upon the decadal festivals. It proposes that each decade be set aside throughout the Republic to celebrate the favours of Nature, of Society, and of the Revolution. These festivals to take place in the temples. Martial music to call the citizens together, under the superintendence of the constituted authorities, and attend to the reading of the rights of Man, and the important laws decreed within the decade. To this reading will succeed hymns to nature, old age, to labour, filial piety, love of country. Military exercises will form the youth to the important art of war. The return of each season to be celebrated by civic repasts. The printing of this plan was ordered.
January 29.
Extract of a letter, dated Nantes, January 21.
Bureau, sent by the representatives of the people to negotiate with the remaining chiefs in La Vendee, has just terminated his mission, and announced, that Charette, the principal chief, is willing to surrender on the conditions offered by the representatives of the people. Another considerable corps of Vendeeans, commanded by one of the ci-devant grandees, partakes of the same sentiment; but the famous Stofflet, a German, who is at the head of a band entirely composed of foreigners and desperadoes, refused peremptorily to hear of any conditions. Bureau who ventured to approach the environs, where Stofflet commands, ran the greatest danger of being massacred by the satellites of that ferocious brigand.
Charette, who, like the true inhabitants of Vendee, longs for peace, offered to join the republicans in order to crush Stofflet, who will certainly be glad to capitulate before the attack takes place.
We expect with impatience a considerable quantity of provisions from the formerly insurgent cantons, where they are in abundance.
The Chouans will not soon be subdued, because they are dispersed in small bands.
February 5.
Address from the committee of general security to the citizens, dated February 2.
FOR these two days last past, tumults are observed in Paris, which appear to menace private property.
Is it a time when astonished Europe admires the successes of the invincible armies of the republic: is it at a time when the English minister dares accuse the French of not having a government, that the internal enemies, or the indifferent zeal of a few citizens should succeed in giving a color to the pernicious imputation?
The plot of arming us against each other exists. Already you are accused of being the promoters of a civil war. Already the infamous cry of pillage has been heard after your meetings. Malevolence and villainy are ready to impute to you all the crimes they are about to commit to favour disorder.
Reflect citizens, and return to order; spare the committee the pain of using that severity which resistance to the laws or a violation of principle would render necessary. It has pointed out the form of petitions to the Convention: apply to them with confidence; they have sworn to maintain justice, and their oath will not be violated.
Signed by the members of the committee.
We are informed on good authority, that an insurrection continues to spread throughout the territories of the seven United Provinces; the French, as they proceed into the country, find every where the burgers up and organized into national guards; the aristocratical Regencies driven away, the chiefs secured, and worthy Patriots chosen by the People to replace the Stadtholderians; and Paulinus, author of several valuable works upon the Rights of the People, who was bold enough to publish, even in Holland under his name
two years ago, a Treatise on the Rights of Man, has just been elected grand pensioner of the regenerated States of Holland.
This citizen had been already at the helm of the affairs of the government as first minister of the Dutch marine; but his candor and his Love for Liberty having displeased the Stadtholder, and more especially his Wife, he was dismissed after the Revolution of 1787, notwithstanding the want they had of his abilities. Animated with the desire of seeing his country free, he came to France in 1788, the crime of the old French government was to have neglected the important overtures that Paulinus was eager to give them. He was, from that moment convinced of the inefficacy of the Cabinet of Versailles, which could no longer assume in Europe, that character of grandeur which was becoming to the first nation of the universe. He fore saw that, unless a complete revolution should take place in the form of government, the people of France were going to be exposed to the highest degree of humiliation abroad, and to the most dreadful evils at home; in short he thought that the machine was entirely rotten.
Paulinus went to Brest in order to visit the Docks of the French Marine. The piercing eye of the connoisseur found there, in spite of the most shameful dilapidations, immense resources to create one day so powerful a navy as to make England tremble.
Hence this worthy Patriot no longer despaired of the public salvation in France, nor of a future deliverance of Holland; and thus he explained the matter to his Friends, and especially to the Editor of this paper.
February 11.
In executing the decree passed last Decade, all the busts, except that of Brutus, which has replaced that of Marat, have been taken away from the chambers of the Convention, as likewise the pictures of Marat and Pelletier, drawn and painted by David; at the same time the monument which fanaticism, ignorance, and the most shameful depravation had erected to the apostle of murder and slaughter, in the place of Caroussel, was thrown down. A great number of sections came to congratulate the National Convention, on account of this decree, and to give an account how the fame had been executed.
From the Moniteur Universel , Feb. 4.
HOLLAND.
Extract from the Intelligences of the Hague .
January 16. This night, at eight o'clock, the assembly of the general state and of the state of Holland, has been extraordinarily convoked. The Stadtholder appeared there, and with a trembling and faltering voice, which bespoke enough the despair of his tortured soul—he asked for the dismissal of his two sons, one of whom was commandant in chief of the Stadtholderian army, and the other general of cavalry.
17th. This morning, at 9 o'clock, we have seen again the general consternation of all the adherents of the prince of Orange. His wife, the terror of Holland, and the female executioner of patriots, took to flight, loaded with shame, and carrying along with her the public execration. She went in a coach to Schveningue, within a league of the Hague, on the shore of the sea; she was accompanied by the wife of the eldest son of the Stadtholder, lately delivered of a boy, which she brought with her. They embarked in a little fisher-boat, on purpose to get safe to England. We are told that a man of war waited for them at sea. At one in the afternoon the little boat was out of sight.
The same day, the Stadtholder attended to the assembly of the general states at ten, and at eleven to that of the state of Holland. He resigned in these two assemblies all his charges civil and military. Afterwards, the college of counsellors, deputies of Holland, took the command of the garrison of this residence, and has given necessary orders to keep the strictest discipline.—At three in the afternoon the Stadtholder is gone to Schveningue with the same intention to make his escape to England. At half past four all the colleges of government assembled together again till nine at night.
PARIS, February 3.
The French found in Holland twelve gun boats on the Merve, bearing each a 12 or 24 pounder. They also took two beautiful English frigates, loaded with Rum, and other liquors, together with two armed Brigs of the same nation.
They found out at Dordrecht an im-
mense quantity of precious things, such as chalices and censers, reliques &c. belonging to the monks of the Belgis, they are to be carried to France immediately.
General Bonneau entered first at the Hague with 50 hussars, where he was followed by a numerous body commanded by Pichegru.
Immediately after the organization of the new states, the citizens of the Hague, generally known to be Orangeists were disarmed. The Dutch Garrison after having taken their oaths to the provisional new state, began their service jointly with the French troops.

PROPOSALS
For Printing by Subscription, a Work to be entitled
TRIALS FOR HIGH TREASON, Within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. By EDMUND HOGAN, Editor of the Pennsylvania State Trials.
IT will contain an accurate and comprehensive statement of the charges against the accused, the documents, oral testimony, arguments of counsel on both sides, and final issue.
As every citizen in the United States is more or less concerned in the issue of these trials, it is hoped the Editor will soon be enabled to acquaint the Public, that he has met with sufficient encouragement to undertake the publication, which he intends to do as soon as 600 subscribers shall have signed.—With this view—
He offers the following Proposals to the Public.
 I. The work shall be printed in octavo, with a good type, on fine paper, in numbers of 64 pages, to be delivered as soon as possible after the trial.  II. As no accurate estimate of the length can be made at this time, its size and price cannot now be ascertained; but the price shall be limited to sixpence per sheet of 16 octavo pages, exclusive of binding.  III. Subscribers on the delivery of the first number, to pay one dollar, and the remainder when the work shall be completed. 
The printers of newspapers in the United States, who shall publish these proposals six times in their April, May and June papers, shall be entitled to a copy for their trouble; and the allowance of a seventh copy will be made to them and all others who may exert themselves in soliciting subscriptions and securing payment. As this is supposed to be a sufficient inducement for printers, stationers, booksellers and schoolmasters, to be at some pains to procure subscriptions, it is hoped those persons will exert themselves by opening subscription papers immediately, and they are requested to be punctual in transmitting the lists before the first of July next; as the names are to be printed as patrons of this work.

Valuable Property For Sale,
IN THE STATE OF NEW-YORK.
THAT valuable and well known Estate, called SCOTIA, situate on the north bank of the Mohawk river, directly opposite the populous and flourishing town of Schenectady, at the foot of the water-communication from the Western Country, and Upper Canada; sixteen miles from the city of Albany, extending about two miles on the bank of the river above and below the said town; this river is the only water communication in the United States with the great western Lakes. The roads from the western and northern parts of the state of New York, together with a number of other public roads here meet, and lead to the noted ferry kept opposite the said town.
It contains upwards of one thousand acres, a great proportion of which is interval or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens annually; it may be laid into a number of valuable farms, affording convenient and handsome building grounds; there is now on the premises two very large and commodious dwelling houses with large Dutch barns, barracks, hovels, stables, cart and waggon house, carriage house (store house), summer house, and other out-houses, on a commanding eminence near the bank of the river, affording a beautiful and extensive prospect of the river for several miles, the lowland, the town, and a fine lake of water, covering about thirty acres, well stored with all kinds of river fish, fowl, &c. There is a good grist mill on a never failing stream of water, a good frame house, &c. for the miller, also convenience above the mill for erecting more water works; there is a bearing orchard with nearly one thousand apple trees, set out, grafted of the best fruit, the gardens are stocked with all the various fruits the climate will admit; also several tenements with portions of land on short leases.
The land in point of fertility of soil, is exceeded by none in the state; there is now in the grove near two hundred bushels winter grain, which will be included in the above sale.
Also two small islands in the river, opposite the mansion house.
A view of the premises, it is presumed, will fully equal any description that can be given thereof.
For terms of sale apply to the Subscriber, residing on the premises, Messrs. Oliver Wendell or Harrison G. Otis, Esquires, in the town of Boston, Cornelius Ray, or De Witt Clinton, Esquires, at the city of New York; James Gordon or Henry Glen, Esquires, two of the members of Congress, at the city of Philadelphia; Stephen N.

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