A SERMON, DELIVERED ON THE DAY OF ANNUAL THANKSGIVING, November 29, 1794.
BY DAVID OSGOOD, A. M. PASTOR OF THE CHURCH IN MEDFORD.
PSALM CXI. 4. He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered.
(Concluded from our last.)
The federal government was no sooner organized, than it speedily rescued us from this eminently hazardous situation. It gave fresh vigour to each of the state governments, and to each of the state governments, it gave a spring to commerce, agriculture, manufactures and all those useful arts which supply the necessities and conveniences of life, that they flourished to a degree incomparably beyond what had ever been known in this country before. In promoting these important ends of every good government, it exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its friends and patrons. So striking and manifest were its beneficial effects, that even its enemies were compelled to silence. This tide of public prosperity continued rising even after the commencement of the present troubles in Europe: The current of our trade flowed for a while with but little interruption, and with accumulated profit to our merchants and farmers.
In this prosperous situation of our affairs, a foreign incendiary appeared among us; the object of whose mission was, at all events, to draw us in for a share in the war with Europe. By fair negotiation with the executive, he had no hope of success. It was therefore necessary, that the government should be overthrown; or at least the wise and good men entrusted with its administration, should be driven from the helm. Materials for either or both of these purposes were ready to his hand.
In every country there are some who envy the abilities of their superiors, and covet their stations; some constitutionally turbulent and uneasy, who can have pleasure in nothing but scenes of tumult and confusion; some who make themselves conspicuous on no other occasions; and some in desperate circumstances, whose only hope of bettering them is in revolutions of government. Besides a proportion of all these, there has been in this country a large party, from the beginning ill affected toward the federal government; and with these may be reckoned numbers of ignorant, though honest people, who think the period arrived when the debt of gratitude ought to be paid to our allies. The passions, prejudices and opinions of these several classes of people prepared their minds to receive the impressions of an insidious minister.
He immediately put in practice the arts which had proved so dreadfully efficacious in his own country. His intrigues were suddenly and surprisingly extended. His very breath seemed to kindle the smothered embers of sedition from Georgia to New Hampshire. Presses thro' the states were engaged to forward his designs, by conveying torrents of slander and abuse against the great officers of government. Popular societies, unknown to the laws, were recommended and actually formed under the influence of demagogues well skilled in the business of faction. The British councils, as though in league to aid the attempts of Genet, perfidiously seized upon our trade, and thereby furnished (what had yet been wanting) a plausible clamour to those who were seeking it, and a just resentment & indignation to the most peaceable & well disposed. The passions of men were worked up to a degree of fury. Rash and violent measures were proposed and strenuously urged. Favored by these circumstances of embarrassment to the government, the western counties in Pennsylvania embraced the opportunity to rise in rebellion.
Such my hearers, have been the trials and dangers to which our peace, liberty, and our political happiness, have been exposed. That the consequences have not, as yet, been more pernicious, we have abundant reason this day, to thank and praise the Supreme Disposer. Our general government, with all our rights and privileges embarked, has been steered between Scylla and Charybdis. That we have not been dashed upon either, is owing to the good hand of God, influencing and directing the pilots. The prospect is now more favorable. Through the wife and good conduct of the President, his ministers, and the men of sound judgment in Congress, we seem to have weathered many rocks & quicksands. With dignity & firmness they resisted the intrigues and machinations of an unworthy embassador, till, at length, they obtained his removal. With respect to the nation from whom we have received unprovoked injuries, while they have been preparing for the cruellest resort, by putting the country in a state of defence, they have sent forward to them the remonstrances of reason, truth and justice, that (if possible) they might prevent the dreadful calamity of war. A degree of success has already attended the negotiation; the offending power now appears half ashamed of the wrongs
which it hath committed against us; and is constrained to promise reparation. They have also, the present year, been successful against the hostile tribes of savages. And to suppress rebellion, have sent forth an army so numerous and powerful as affords the hopeful prospect of effecting the purpose without the effusion of blood. To the several democratic societies through the states, who have incessantly censured, misrepresented and calumniated all these measures of our federal rulers, they have opposed a dignified patience and moderation, worthy of their high stations and great abilities.
But as those societies, and the spirit of faction which they engender, nourish and spread among the people, are in my view the greatest danger which, at present, threatens the peace and liberties of our country, I shall close this discourse with a few strictures upon them.
In every country the men of ambition, who covet the chief seats in government, exert all their abilities to ingratiate themselves with the force of power. Under a monarchy they are the most servile courtiers at the levee of the prince. In a republic, the same men appear in the character of flaming patriots, profess the warmest zeal for liberty, and call themselves the friends of the people. In monarchies, their intrigues and factions are endless. But as the monarch himself is the main object of all their attempts, over whom they endeavour to extend their influence; their factions are usually limited to the precincts of the court, and rarely occasion any general convulsion in the empire. In a republic, the case is widely different:—thousands & millions are the objects whom they would influence. Of course, the more popular any government is, the more liable it is to be agitated and rent by parties and factions. Our's is not the first republic the world has seen. Some centuries before the christian era, the states of ancient Greece and Rome were so many republics. But through the intrigues of ambitious and designing men, influencing each other, they became so many hot beds of faction and dissention. Their wretched & best characters, when such chanced to be at the helm of government, were soon turned down; and the vilest of men took their place, and this in continual rotation. Civil wars often occurred; and as either prevailing party proscribed, banished, and massacred, the other. Precisely the same scenes are now exhibited in France. We all rejoiced at the downfall of despotism in that country: We considered it as the dawn of liberty to the world. But how soon was the fair morning overcast! They had no sooner adopted a popular government, than all the violence of faction broke out. A Constitution, which the collected wisdom of the nation had been two years in framing, was in a day, or an hour, overset and demolished. From that time to this, their civil government has been nothing but a contest of parties, carried on with all the ferocity of barbarians. Previous to the revolution, it was said of the French, that so refined was their sensibility, so abhorrent of every appearance of cruelty, that they would not suffer tragedy to be acted at their theatres. Is it not astonishing, how so great a change in the morals and manners of a nation could be so suddenly effected? Faction alone accounts for it. Had the representatives of the nation been left to their judgment, uncontrolled by the leaders of faction, they would never have been guilty of those excels and cruelties which chill all human minds with horror. But how came those factious leaders by such a controlling power over the convention? Solely by means of those popular societies in which they presided, or over which they first gained an influence. These gave to faction its whole force.
On the same principles with those in France are founded the democratic societies in this country; and should they become numerous here, as they are there, they will infallibly have a similar effect. Their pretence is to watch government. They mean the federal government. But this, like each of the state governments, is chosen by the nation at large; and, of course, every man in his individual capacity has an equal right & an equal interest in watching its measures. What presumption then is it, and what an usurpation of the rights of their brethren, for private associations, unauthorized by the laws, to arrogate this charge to themselves? Admitting the propriety of setting a watch upon Congress and the President; are not the state legislatures fully competent to the business? Is not their interest at stake, and their jealousy always awake, ready to notice any fault or error in the general government? What then is there for these private associations to do? Good they cannot do; if they do any thing, it must be evil. And that they have done evil already, and are, in fact, the support of a pernicious and inordinate faction against the general government, among many other unquestionable proofs, the omission of our chief magistrate, just mentioned, is, to my mind, not an improbable one. For unless we suppose him to have fallen under the baneful influence of those societies, we know not how to account for his having hazarded a proclamation in which we are directed neither to give thanks for any advantages enjoyed by means of that government, nor even to ask the blessing of Heaven upon it. As though its def-
truction were already decreed, it is treated as no longer the subject of prayer.
Should so melancholy an event as its overthrow ultimately take place, no cause at present appears so probable, as those ill-judged associations. To pull down and destroy good governments as well as bad, is their only tendency. In the nature of things they can have no other effect. In such a country as this, therefore, where, through the distinguishing mercy of Heaven, we have obtained a government so admirably adapted to promote the general happiness, these irregular and unwarrantable associations ought to be guarded against and suppressed with a vigilance like that with which we extinguish a fire when it is kindling in a great city. Their meetings are so many collections of combustibles; and should they be generally extended, the whole country will be in a flame. The members of these societies, by virtue of this relation, necessarily become the mere tools and dupes of their artful leaders, who have their own ends to serve by all their professions of patriotism. "The moment a man is attached to a club, his mind is not free: He receives a bias from the opinions of the party: A question indifferent to him, is no longer indifferent, when it materially affects a brother of the society. He is not left to act for himself; he is bound in honor to take part with the society—his pride and his prejudices, if at war with his opinion, will commonly obtain the victory; and rather than incur the ridicule or censure of his associates, he will countenance their measures, at all hazards and thus an independent freeman is converted into a mere walking machine, a convenient engine of party leaders." In this way a few ambitious individuals are enabled to extend their influence; and as they rise in power and consequence, to infringe upon the liberty of the public.
"Each individual member of the state should have an equal voice in elections; but the individuals of a club have more than an equal voice, because they have the benefit of another influence; that of extensive private attachments, which come in aid of each man's political opinion. And just in proportion as members of a club have an undue share of influence, in that proportion they invade the rights of their fellow-citizens. Every club therefore, formed for political purposes, is an aristocracy established over their brethren. It has all the properties of an aristocracy, and all the effects of tyranny. It is a literal truth, that the democratic clubs in the United States, while running mad with the abhorrence of aristocratic influence, are attempting to establish precisely the same influence under a different name. And if any thing will rescue this country from the jaws of faction, it must be either the good sense of a great majority of Americans, which will discourage private political associations, and render them contemptible; or the controlling power of the laws of the country, which, in an early stage, shall demolish all such institutions, and secure to each individual, in the great political family, equal rights and an equal share of influence in his individual capacity."
"But let us admit that no fatal consequences to government, and equal rights, will ensue from these institutions, till their effects on social harmony are very pernicious, and already begin to appear. A party spirit is hostile to all friendly intercourse; it inflames the passions; it soures the mind; it destroys good neighbourhood: it warps the judgment in judicial determinations; it banishes candor and subordinates prejudice; it restrains the exercise of benevolent affections; and in proportion as it chills the warm affections of the soul, it undermines the whole system of moral virtue. Were the councils of hell united to present expedients for depriving men of the little portion of good they are destined to enjoy on this earth, the only measure they need adopt for this purpose, would be, to introduce factions into the bosom of the country. Faction begets disorder, force, rancorous passions, anarchy, tyranny, blood and slaughter." May the God of order and peace preserve us from such dreadful calamities! and to Him shall be the glory forever. AMEN.
This must appear the more extraordinary when we reflect, that at the time of issuing the proclamations, war with the savages raged on our frontiers, rebellion in the bosom of the country, and our situation, with respect to the powers of Europe, had become so critical, that we were actually fortifying and forming a numerous army.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, December 30. The instalment bill was read a third time and passed.
The amendments to the militia bill made, by the committee of conference, were read and agreed to.
In committee of the whole, on the naturalization bill, Mr. Cobb in the chair.
Mr. Hillhouse moved to insert, as an amendment to the clause before the committee, that if any citizen of the United States, at any time thereafter, should become a citizen or subject of any other state, or country, he should not be an admitted American citizen. This amendment gave rise to a debate.
Mr. Baldwin expressed the strongest disapprobation of the idea of expatriating all those of our citizens who may have become subjects or citizens of another country. Many of them had been made citizens without any solicitation of their own, and merely as a mark of esteem from the government under which they lived. They had no design whatever of renouncing their country. Yet the amendment declares them incapable of returning to their former situation.
Mr. Murray hoped the amendment would succeed, and that any citizen of the United States, who, when out of the United States, elected to be a subject of any foreign power should not again be permitted to the rights of complete citizenship; nor did he think it necessary to decide the question which had resulted from the ingenious arguments of his friend from Massachusetts (Mr. Dexter)—whether a man can ex-patriate himself, without the express consent of the community, or nation, of which he is a citizen or subject? It was enough for us to say, that any man who does ex-patriate himself from the United States, shall not again become a citizen. He could not agree with the gentleman from Massachusetts, in the position, that a man cannot ex-patriate without the consent of his country: The practice of this country is a direct confutation of this doctrine; and it must be admitted, either that this country has trampled on the most solemn of social and national rights by its practice, or that a man may leave his country and take on him the obligation of a new allegiance in this country. It seemed to him a position as conformable to sound morals, as to political truth, that what a man has no right to offer, another man, or society, can rightfully accept. He would infer, that this country had a right to naturalize foreigners, because she has naturalized them; and that this country, by its laws, having accepted the allegiance of an alien, the alien had a right to offer that allegiance: The very provision to naturalize an alien, without enquiry as to the consent of his own country having been previously obtained, seems to be predicated on the principle for which he contended—that a man has the right to ex-patriate himself without leave obtained: If he has not, all our laws of this sort, by which we convert an alien into a citizen completely, must be acknowledged to be a violation of the rights of nations. How far a man, after having been naturalized at a period of life when his reason enabled him to deliberate, and to enter into a solemn obligation, and after he has expressly entered into it, has a right, without the consent of the society, to quit that society, might be another question. After a citizen throws off his allegiance to this country, by leaving it and entering into a new obligation to some other nation, though he may have a right to do so, he has no right to return to his allegiance here, without the consent of this society; and it is not a question of right, but of policy, how far we will re-admit him to citizenship. When he said that the right of dissolving allegiance must be admitted, both to give exercise to our rights, and to give countenance to our principles and practice, he did not mean that a citizen could throw off his allegiance in this country; but that he must complete the act of dissolving in some other country: Such a principle would belong to the theory of the dissolution, rather than the formation of a civil society; hence appeared to him the strange solecism of that law of Virginia, which provides for the throwing off allegiance within the community. The consequences of such a principle are not only destructive to the very form and body of civil society, but are unnatural. They present a citizen as being belonging to no civil society on earth; for, in the intermediate state in which he stands, between the allegiance and country he has just dissolved, and the allegiance and country to which he is about to be admitted, he is in a state of nature.

end to pledge himself, he is... an unnatural state, for a... whole faculty and quality... him a moral agent, surroun... essential relations, and, of course... to discharge duties of a lo...
He wished this government, while it... adopted the right of naturalizing... aliens, to do and to say nothing... that involved a contradiction between... its principles and practice. If it ac... cepted the allegiance of an alien, it pre... supposes that the alien has the right to... give that allegiance; and one clause... of the Constitution expressly requires of the alien... a declaration of his former alle... giance, which is certainly proper. In do... ing this, the bill admits, unequivocally, the right of subjects and citizens to ex... patriate. The British government, by a want of conformity between their first principles, as laid down in their law books, and the practice of Parliament, have shown us a singular mixture of old principles which the nation has outgrown. It is a maxim with them that allegiance can not be dissolved by any change of time or place, nor by the oath of a subject to any foreign power. Yet they naturalize by act of Parliament. They accept what they declare their theory of civil law can not rightfully offer; nay for one century the throne of England has presented monarchs who were foreigners; William of Orange was a Prince, but he was a subject too of a foreign power; and George the first was a member of the Germanic body. There is little danger that citizens, who are worthy of being so, will throw off their allegiance from the United States. The amendment which prohibits their re-admission to a participation of all the rights of citizenship, will be a sufficient penalty, if any be necessary. Though they may have a right to expatriate themselves, there can not be inferred a right of returning; for every body politic must have the right of saying upon what terms they will accept any addition of aliens to their numbers—and the ex-patriated man no longer belonging to this society, and being an alien, the government may choose whether he ever shall enjoy its privileges again.
The amendment was negatived. The committee rose; the chairman reported progress, and the House adjourned.
From the Federal Mercury. ON GRATITUDE.
Monday, being the anniversary of the landing of our ancestors in this place, which was the first lasting settlement, made in New-England, a number of gentlemen of this and the neighboring towns convened to celebrate the day. With social glee and harmony, they partook of a frugal repast, which was designed to bring to remembrance the circumstances of those god and great men, whose memories by were assembled to revere. Various anecdotes, respecting their emigration and settlement, were related by those, acquainted with the early history of the country; and the mind was led to recollect, with veneration and sublime pleasure, the daring enterprise, the noble, and the determined valor, of illustrious men, who, in this place, the foundation of empire; and prepared, in the western clime, an asil for the persecuted and oppressed the old world. Several toasts were given, pertinent and sentimental; and following each, written for the occasion, was sung and repeated, with the manly satisfaction and pleasure.
AN ODE. For the 22d of December, the Anniversary of our Ancestors' landing in 1620;—
SONS of renowned fires, In harmonious choirs, Swell your loud songs: Daughters of peerless dames, Come with your soft acclaims; Let their revered names Dwell on your tongues! From ALBION'S seats, Where the famed band retreats— On ocean toft: On tumbling billows roan, And scarce clunged before, To this shore, Sheltered in frost! From wave-bitten rock,* On the southern flood: On the sheltered grove,
Their faithful partners move, Dear pledges of their love, In either hand. Not WINTER'S fallen face— Not the fierce, tawny race, In arms arrayed— Not HUNGER'S shook their faith— Nor SICKNESS' baleful breath, Nor CARVER'S early death. Their souls dismayed. Watered by heavenly dew, Th' germ of empire grew, Freedom its root: From the cold, northern PINE, Far tow'rd the burning line, Spreads the luxuriant vine, Bending with fruit. Columbia, child of heaven— The best of beings, given, Rest on thy head: Beneath thy peaceful skies, While prosperous tides arise, Here turn thy grateful eyes— Revere the DEAD! Here trace the moss-grown stones, Where rest their mouldering bones, Again to rise: Here let thy sons be led; Here emulate the dead, While on their tombs they tread, With moistened eyes! Sons of renowned fires, Join in harmonious choirs, Swell your loud songs: Daughters of peerless dames, Come with your soft acclaims; Let their revered names Dwell on your tongues!
The rock, upon which our forefathers first landed, was in view of the place where the company was assembled. The first governor of the colony— he was chosen immediately upon their arrival but died in a few weeks after.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 2.
ESPIONATION OF GEN. KNOX. Philadelphia, Dec. 28th, 1794.
SIR, In pursuance of the verbal communications heretofore submitted, it is with the utmost respect, that I beg leave to request, you will please to order that after the last day of the present month, and year, my Services as Secretary for the Department of War will cease. I have endeavoured to place the bulk of the Department in such a train, that my Successor may, without much difficulty, commence the duties of his Station. Any explanations, or assistance, which he may require, shall be cordially afforded by me.
After having served my Country, near twenty years, the greatest portion of which, under your immediate auspices; it is with extreme reluctance, I find myself constrained to withdraw from so honorable a situation. But the natural, and powerful claims of a numerous family, will no longer permit me to neglect their essential interests.
I whatever situation I shall be; I shall recollect your confidence and kindness, with all the fervor, and purity of affection, of which a grateful heart is susceptible.
I have the honor to be, with the greatest respect, Sir, your obedient servant. (Signed) H. KNOX. The PRESIDENT of the United States
Philadelphia, Dec. 30th, 1794. SIR,
The considerations which you have often suggested to me, and are repeated in your letter of the 28th instant, as requiring your departure from your present office are such as to preclude the possibility of my urging your continuance in it.—This being the case, I can only wish that it was otherwise. I cannot suffer you, however, to close your public Service without uniting with the satisfaction, which must arise in your own mind from a conscious rectitude, my most perfect persuasion that you have deserved well of your country.
My personal knowledge of your exertions, while it authorizes me to hold language justifies the sincere friendship which I have borne for you and which will accompany you in every future life.
Being with affectionate regard, always yours, (Signed) G: WASHINGTON.
KNOX, Secretary of War.
Says a Correspondent. coincidence of sentiment among men of our country, in respect to
certain self-created Societies is worthy of remark. The sermon by Mr. Osgood of Medford in Massachusetts was delivered before the President's Speech was seen in that quarter of the Union.
A Correspondent remarks, that the report made by St. Just on the subject of secret service money must be considered as incomplete for want of Citizen Genet's return. The large sums for which this Gentleman drew bills on himself during his journey from Charleston to Philadelphia, afford good grounds for believing that his expenditures in that line placed a few millions more in the coffers of the Danais. If Robespierre had been still living, he would have grinned! (for it is said he never laughed) to hear, that his golden pills had so inflated some people in this country with patriotism, as to almost burst them!
Captain Decatur arrived yesterday from Bourdeaux brings verbal accounts of the surrender of Rotterdam. By him we have received Paris papers to the 18th of October, which contain no news from the armies—From them it appears that the minds of the people of Paris are in considerable fermentation on the subject of popular societies. The Convention have passed a decree forbidding in a degree the societies corresponding with each other, & have limited their power of action in other respects. Each society must publish a list of its members. Aurora.
Sad prospect, Ben, for their humble imitators.
Question for Johnny, from the Aurora. Is Sedition Non-sense, or is Non-sense Sedition?
Answer for Benny. Benny apply to your dupes under bail, Or those near at hand—your scape-goats in jail.
The ship John, capt. Whitwell, in 53 days from Amsterdam, has arrived at the Port. She was spoke in the river by capt. Decatur, who was informed that the English and Dutch armies were retreating towards Amsterdam, but that the inhabitants of that city, were averse to their retreating there.
Letters from Charleston, of the 19th of December, received yesterday contain intelligence of the French West India Fleet, of 7 sail of the line, and several Frigates, with a considerable body of troops, having arrived at Guadalupe, and that Basti-terre had previously surrendered.
GERMAN LUTHERAN CHURCH.
The late unfortunate destruction by fire, of one of the largest and most elegant Buildings appropriated for Divine Service in this city, cannot but have struck with sympathy the members of all Religious Societies, whose places of worship are equally exposed to similar disasters. The German Lutherans who are the immediate sufferers, with a zeal becoming the importance of the occasion, have Resolved to exert every nerve for the speedy re-establishment of their own place of worship. Conscious, however of the too frequent habits of applying for subscriptions, which are by many considered as unequal and improper burthens upon private munificence: They are not inclined personally to apply to any individuals out of the limits of their own Society: Yet, as the expence must be considerable, and assistance of course acceptable from all who may be induced voluntarily to contribute, have appointed John Steinmetz, of this city, Esq. their present Treasurer, in Market Street, between 5th and 6th streets, to receive any donations, great or small, which the liberal may be disposed to offer for the rebuilding of this Temple, dedicated to the honor and praise of a common Saviour. Such donations will also be received with equal gratitude by any of the Clergy and members of the Corporation of said Church. Henry Helmuth, Frederick Smith, Henry Kammerer, F. A. Muhlenberg, Esq. Clergy.
Conrad Haas, Martin Baish, Boltsis Emrich, John Hay, Caspar Snyder, George Kitts, John Nagle, Daniel Miller, George Baftian, Lawrence Herbert, Henry Kepple, Andrew Bohlart, George Leib, Peter Kraft, Andrew Geyer, George Forepaugh, George Honey, John N. Wagner, Jacob Eckfeld
At the same time, those persons who have been kind enough at the late fire to take in to their care any articles belonging to the Congregation of the Lutheran Church, are kindly requested to deliver the same to either of the above named Gentlemen, in particular any articles belonging to the Organ such as pipes, &c. &c.
Since the foregoing was written, the Corporation have with the most heartfelt satisfaction understood, that there are certain Gentlemen in this city who have generously undertaken to collect subscriptions for the above purpose in
their respective Congregations. This publication is by no means meant to interfere with their very laudable and affectionate undertaking. Those only are meant to be included in it who are not members of those Societies where the above mentioned Gentlemen belong.

WILMINGTON, Dec. 31.
We learn that the ship Jemeaux, commanded by Capt. Ruault, fitted out in Philadelphia, and now lying in the Delaware near Reed's island, is suspected by the Executive of the United States, of intending to cruise as a privateer. Her equipments have been kept secret, and she has now on board 6 carriage guns and 70 men: 6 more cannon intended for her, are detained in the city. Orders are received by our Governor, to seize and detain her, for having violated the laws, and contravened the neutrality of the United States.
Drafts from the several militia regiments of this state, of 50 men each, are now under requisition, to act in conjunction with the armed revenue cutter and 50 men from Philadelphia. The troops are expected to depart this day.
The service of the Wilmington Volunteer Company was voluntarily offered, to a man; but could not, as a detachment, be legally allowed to act under the general command.
NEWARK, December 24.
It is with pleasure we announce to the public, that the commodious and elegant Bridges over the rivers Passaick and Hackinack, are nearly completed; the Bridge over the Passaick is entirely so, and the railing only is wanting to finish the other Bridge; but as the ballustrades are erected, it is passed, with carriages, in perfect safety.
These Bridges are thirty eight feet in width; the foot ways five feet; the Bridge over the Passaick is four hundred and ninety two feet in length, and that over the Hackinack, nine hundred and eighty feet.
The Causeway which is about three miles in length, connected with these Bridges, is not entirely completed; it is, however, daily made use of by carriages. About three fourths of its distance is, in part, gravelled, and is an excellent road, supported by piles; it is eighteen feet wide, and elevated two feet above the surface of the meadow. It is expected the whole of the causeway will be so far finished as to receive its first coat of gravel in about two months.
The expence of these Bridges is about fifty thousand dollars. They do honor to this country, and we cannot, but with pleasing satisfaction, contemplate the great utility they will be to the public.
Foreign Intelligence.
PARIS, September 22.
Dubois Crance demonstrated by incontrovertable arguments, that the reign of terror, founded by Robespierre, whose principal minister, (according to Crance's assertion) was the daughter of the joiner Duplais, ought at last to be destroyed for ever.
He communicated a memorandum, which proved that formerly, silk stuffs for 200 millions of livres had been yearly fabricated at Lyons, from a mass of raw silk bought for 12 millions of livres. An immense number of silk weavers, he said, are now occupied with carrying stones from the palaces which have been demolished; a ferocious pu-
nishment; it reflects dishonour on the conquerors; and the groans of the submitted, partakers in the rebellion, excite the compassion of every feeling soul. 10,000 workmen in the superfine cloth manufactures of Sedan, formerly so flourishing, will now be without employ. The commerce of Nantes, Bourdeaux, Nimes, Montpellier, Marseilles, Rouen, &c. want a speedy relief.
He assured, that the Vendee produced now 500,000 oxen or mules less per annum than before the revolution, and calculated that six million acres of land now lay waste in that country.
From a Charleston Paper of the 18th of December.
LONDON, October 15.
Yesterday morning two messengers, Mr. Lanzun and Slater arrived at the Secretary of States office with dispatches, the former from Earl Spencer at Vienna, the latter from the Duke of York.
Mr. Slater left the army on the evening of the 16th, at which time, we understand, no new movements of importance had occurred.
The accounts received by the Dutch mail serve only to tell us that neither at Leyden, the Hague nor Amsterdam, can any regular intelligence be obtained of the operations on the Lower Rhine, or even on the Dutch frontiers. They mention as matter of report that the French having crossed the Meuse at Batenbourg, on the 11th, Grave on the Meuse, and Emmrick on the Rhine, are both taken; the line of communication between Gen. Clairfayt and the Duke of York consequently broken; and Nimeguen on the point of being invested.
A letter from the Hague of the 15th says, that information had just been received of a party of French, posted between the Waal and Meuse, having been defeated with the loss of 200 prisoners, besides killed and wounded. An article from the Hague of the same date, in the Leyden Gazette, makes no mention of this.
The Dutch troops have evacuated Phillippine, Sans-de-Grand, Hult, and all the other posts in Dutch Flanders.
The French are said to have taken Coblenz; but this we believe to be mere conjecture, originating in the report that they had made preparations for attacking it.
The Poles, altho' defeated by the Russians in Lithuania, continue to be successful against the Prussian troops. They are approaching Thorn, and are expected to get possession both of that place and Dantzick. Koscinski is gone with the flower of his army to repair the losses in Lithuania.

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, or it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is entitled from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony is not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artful and affecting; the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is no, which it is, properly distributed."

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 themselves 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, whether it were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Englishmen, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced.
"In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall diffuse the cloud of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive."
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1791—page 19.
