MARCELLUS—No 1.
In general suspect those who boast, or affect to have any one virtue above all others; for they are commonly impostors.
CHESTERFIELD.
AT a time when party distinctions have been artfully introduced, and wrought to an extreme height, and the acrimony of party spirit displays itself on too many occasions: When jealousy and suspicion universally pervade the community: However inter-essing the subject; however necessary the duty, it will be a difficult task to arrest even for a moment the public attention by an impartial appeal to the understanding, and a dispassionate enquiry into the interests of our country. When the mind is heated it is not in a state to listen to the dictates of reason. In the paroxysms of such a moment violence is regarded as patriotism, patience and moderation as pusillanimity—the councils of the best, esteemed the oracles of wisdom; the advice of the best contemned as the dictates of cowardice—the rashness of a Varro, preferred to the caution of a Fabius. But as infinite efforts have been made to mislead and inflame the public mind: And as very great irritation has been actually produced thereby; however unsuccessful the attempt, it is time to unfold facts, and exhibit the true interests of Virginia to a generous people, who only wish to know their duty to perform it; and to understand their happiness to pursue it.
Men devoted to the laborious and honorable occupations of agriculture, at a distance from the seat of information, without the means of enquiring, or the leisure necessary to make deep researches and to investigate complex principles and obscure facts—however virtuous, (and in all nations they are to be regarded as the most virtuous part of the society) are too liable from these circumstances to be imposed on and misled by the artifices of the wicked and the ambitious. In all communities such men exist.—The purest republics have produced them. It cannot be expected therefore that our country should be wholly exempt from them. Indeed the history of the ancient democracies is the history of false patriots, except in a few luminous instances, who pretending to be friends to liberty, have kept their countries in perpetual foreign broils, or domestic agitations and convulsions to serve their avarice or ambition, and who have never failed to render themselves the tyrants of the people whenever an opportunity occurred. It is by bold censures of others, and by boasting of superior virtue, that such men open their way to power, by lulling the public suspicion as to themselves, and directing it to characters, whose generous minds feeling no sentiment which honor would disclaim, act, and speak with frankness and independence, worthy of republicans, conscious of their freedom and of their integrity. But to enable them to execute their plans, they must first discredit such men, who would otherwise prove an impregnable barrier against their designs. Look into the annals of mankind, particularly the Roman commonwealth, whose history contains the history of the old civilized world, does not every page furnish proofs of this truth. Does not every page exhibit the efforts of ambition to obtain power at the expence of every moral principle? Indeed Cæsar's maxim is the maxim of all such men, nam si violandum est jus regnandi gratia violandum est, with such a principle in his heart, this celebrated usurper began with acting the friend to liberty, and assiduously courting the Roman people, till by their means he rendered himself their tyrant.
We must expect in our country as it happened in other nations, that ambition will assume every shape, even profane religion and patriotism to gratify his cupidity for power: If we mean not to be deceived, we must distrust the professions of men and look to their actions; try their professions by their conduct, and you will not unfrequently find those who make most noise about danger of aristocracy, equality and liberty, pompous in their dress and equipage, luxurious in their tables, servile in their deportment, and tyrants in every circumstance in which the laws have clothed them with "a little brief authority;" it is wise to distrust men who act contrary to their declared principles. They ought to be regarded as impostors endeavoring to conceal their real character, under a pompous pretension to virtues, which they never felt as they never practice. Avarice, ambition, envy, (the creature
* How often and how justly has our illustrious President been compared to this favourite of Rome.
of ambition) or all combined will generally be found the true motives of their conduct.
It is not to be wondered at that men actuated by such principles should continually endeavor to destroy the respect due to those who neither assuming all virtue to themselves nor denying it to others, modestly practise those rules of liberty, equality and justice, which they owe to their fellow-citizens, and to the society of which they are members. If we were to regard the actions of men as the only just clue to their principles, we should esteem those the true; those the pretended friends of that precious liberty and equality, which ought to be and till of late was the possession of every citizen of our country. But now a new kind of arbitrary government is introduced amongst us, under which, freedom of thought, freedom of speech, and freedom of enquiry are proscribed. In some places societies styling themselves democratic without emanating from the choice of the people, or deriving any authority from that only pure fountain of power, have erected themselves into bodies corporate, acting as if superior tribunals over the actions and opinions of men and nations; and in many instances usurping the station assigned to the representatives of their country. Institutionally chosen.—In other places individuals have the effrontery to assume these high prerogatives, they undertake to dictate opinions to the community; and to measure out fame and infamy to their fellow-citizens.
They have the audacity to impute to men thoughts which their minds never felt—opinions which their lips never uttered, and designs which their souls abhor; and that by the magic force of a few imported words, inapplicable to the situation of our country, and the etymology and meaning of which, frequently those who use them, do not understand and cannot define. No sooner have the shackles of religious tyranny been broken, than these shameless usurpers of the rights of society seem determined to erect themselves into a new order of priesthood to tyrannize over the political opinions of their fellow-citizens. Let us for a moment enquire what is our government? is it not founded on this sound republican principle, that the people are able and have a right to govern themselves, either by themselves or by their representatives freely chosen. Has not every member of the society equal rights and privileges? Has not therefore every citizen a right to think for himself, and to deliver his opinion without controul, on whatever involves the interests of his country, without being subject to these new and till now unheard of pains and penalties by which our more than papal tyrants endeavour to shackle our liberties. Who authorized them to call a fellow-citizen an aristocrat because he differed in opinion from them? Has he not a right to do so? Who authorised them to assume the title of friends to their country, and to the rights of men in exclusion of the rest of their fellow-citizens? Does the social compact give them greater privileges, or recognise in them a superior order? It does not—or has Heaven stamped them with its peculiar mark of favor, sent them as its inspired political Apostles; and clothed them with the insignia of an authority, before which every knee must bend, and to which every voice must pay adoration? From the intolerance of their principles, and the want of charity in their conduct, they cannot be regarded as the agents of a beneficent deity. Yet they could not act with a more dictatorial presumption, if they were conscious of being an acknowledged superior order in the society; and actually derived supernatural powers from the God of nature. But it is impossible, for their pretences, their affected zeal, their professions of patriotism, and illiberal censures of men, who have the reality and not the semblance of the virtues they boast of; who modestly act what they vociferously pretend to, long to veil their real character and designs from the community. They will soon be taught that a free people will not brook arrogance and dictation from any quarter or under any shape whatever. That their fellow-citizens are too enlightened, know too well the dignity and the rights of free men, to be duped by such shallow artifices, fitted only for times of ignorance; but can never impose on a people who understand and are possessed of the blessing of liberty. But if we may define an aristocrat to be proud, vain, imperious, opinionated, extravagant, idle, devoted to pleasure, and to luxury, or to use Sallust's emphatic expression, sui profusus alieni appetens, we shall generally find that those who are most ready to call others by the name, will answer the description best.
But what is aristocracy? As understood in the European world at this time, it never existed nor can exist in this country. There it is considered a body of men possessing a political rank, with peculiar powers and privileges, derived either from the express or tacit consent of the society, sometimes for life, sometimes in perpetuity def-
idable from father to son—such an order ever existed in America, unless the citizens of our Commonwealth may be regarded as such. If aristocracy in this meaning does not exist, let those who so frequently use the terms aristocrat and democrat, define them. For as Mr. Locke very justly observes, nothing is so necessary to fair discussion as a definition of the terms we use. Do they mean by the term aristocrat, a rich man, contra distinguished from a poor man? If by the term aristocrat, they mean the rich, and by the term democrat, the poor; by vilifying the first and exalting the last, do they mean to censure industry, by which wealth is acquired, and commend idleness, which is the cause of poverty, and the fruitful source of every vice?
If they make it a crime to be rich, men will cease to make any efforts to better their condition, to provide for the education and comforts of their families, and add to their own wealth, as the riches of their country by an honest industry; and from a civilized society, we shall soon become an horde of Savages.—To this deplorable condition would their system gradually reduce us. But it cannot be expected, that such haughty dictators would wait the slow operation of time. They may attempt to reduce all property at once to a level, abolition of debts, agrarian laws and emancipation of slaves may be proposed among their first coups de main. For if by the term democrat, they mean the poor, who so poor as our slaves, who therefore so fit to participate in the spoils of the rich, and to direct the affairs of the nation?
But it may be said by these intolerant priests, that they have not any such intentions. If they have not, let them explain their views in plain and intelligible terms, which every man can understand—perhaps they only mean to make a noise till they wriggle themselves into lucrative offices? They will perhaps to pull themselves into consequence, for the silly gratifications of vanity. They will pardon us if we should misapprehend their intentions, until they shall condescend to address us in a language which belongs to the vocabulary of our laws, and not in a foreign idiom unknown to our citizens. It is unbecoming a republican, and insulting a free people, thus to attempt to delude them by tricks that would disgrace the most common adept in the talismanic art. If they mean to denounce by the word aristocrat, a man who wishes to introduce monarchy and privileged orders among us; let them point out the person and bring proofs of the accusation. Attempts of such a kind, are treason against our government, and such charges are of too serious a nature to be lightly made. It is the boast of our government, that every citizen shall have a fair trial, shall know his accusation, be confronted by his accuser, and shall be entitled to evidence in his behalf, such accusations then violate the pillars on which our constitution rests. Yet those who make them, call themselves patriots, friends to liberty, friends to equality, while in imitation of other despots they deny to their equals, liberty of thought, and by making their own changeable and uncertain wills the criteria of the virtue of their fellow-citizens, arrogate a superiority as unauthorised by their own doctrines, as violative of every principle of our constitution, and inconsistent with the reason and nature of things.
If instead of meaning the poor by
Without noticing our slaves (who in violation of the doctrine of equality, are deprived of every social right) there is a discrimination made between the free men of Virginia, only a particular description of whom having any agency in the affairs of government. Perhaps with such deviations from that equality, which in our bill of rights are say is the birth-right of every human being; our constitution ought to be regarded as frivolous by the aristocratical kind; and therefore our citizens under this view, may be denominated all aristocrats. But this is a subject that would occupy a disuse discussion of itself, and is particularly for the consideration of those who are so fond of the distinctions of aristocrat and democrat.—If they will begin by reforming the constitution, by equalizing representation, by subjecting lands to the payment of debts, and by emancipating slaves, and thus reduce our government and laws to their elementary principle equality; we should then think them sincere in their professions, and consistent in their conduct. But as long as they continue to hold their fellow-men in the most abject slavery, their declarations about liberty and equality must be regarded as the froth of madmen, or the pretences of hypocrites. How far such an attempt to reduce the theory of their principles into practice in this Commonwealth would be acceptable to the body of citizens, or conducive to the social order, harmony, and prosperity of our country, I leave them to determine. However ruinous, to be consistent with themselves, they ought to make it.
the term democrat, they denominate a friend to that kind of government in which each citizen in his individual capacity, exercises those functions, which, in our society are delegated to representatives, such as were some of the petty tumultuous commonwealths of old, this would be a government so hostile to the happiness of our citizens, and so counter to the habits and practice of the American people, that no man would deem it honorable to assume the name, as in this sense, it would only be regarded as another term for anarchy. But if by the term democrat is meant a friend to a well organized representative government, in which, liberty of thinking, liberty of speaking, liberty of acting, and the protection of property are intended to be maintained, it is an honorable appellation, which belongs to every citizen, who, instead of exciting resistance, obeys the laws, and faithfully performs every social duty; and no individual has a right to assume it to the exclusion of his fellows. If this be attempted by a single person, he may justly be called an impudent tyrant; if by an association, an oligarchical encroachment on the privileges of the nation. But perhaps we may come nearer the true meaning of the term democrat, as applied to those who most generally assume it, by defining him to be a man impatient of the controul of the laws, anxious to govern, and who cares not what blood he sheds, or misery he produces, provided by any means, he can obtain the indulgence of his devouring ambition.

NATIONAL CONVENTION, 15 Fructidor, September 1.
ROUSSEAU.
Citizens Ljeune presented to the Convention the original manuscript of the letters of the New Heloise.
Gregoire said there had been deposited lately in the National Library another manuscript of J. J. Rousseau, entitled, "Les Consolations des Miseres de ma Vie." The Consolations of the Miseres of my Life. He was assured also that there had been at the commission of Arts, another manuscript of the same author, the superscription of which had these words: "Not to be opened till they are 1800." They were now employed in searching for it. He invited his Colleagues of Mont Blanc, to make every possible enquiry in their department, for certainly other manuscripts of Jean Jacques Rousseau would be found. He was sure that some were still in existence at Chamberry.
Treillard informed the Convention that the Members of the Committee of Public Safety had drawn lots to know which three of their body should be replaced—The lot had fallen on Carnot, Lindet, and Barrere. He added, that Collot and Billaud had given in their resignation.
Dubem.—"I move that in consequence of these two resignations there shall be only one new Member chosen." This proposition was decreed.
Cambon.—"I fear that if we accept the resignations that have been proposed, Aristocracy will turn it to advantage. [No! no! was exclaimed generally thro' the hall.] Legislators ought not only to be irreproachable, but suspicion ought not to fall upon their heads.—I move therefore, that these resignations be refused."
The order of the day was called for and adopted.
Billaud.—"There can be nothing equivocal in the motives of a resignation which is voluntary."
Collot.—"It was not to day that we first thought of giving in our resignation. We formed the design from the moment that the Convention laid it down as a principle that a too long continuance in the same committee might be dangerous to public liberty. Several of our colleagues were apprized of our resolution. [Yes, yes, exclaimed several Members of the Committee.] There, is nothing, therefore, particular in the thing. There was another motive of public interest which decided us. The new organization of the committees has conferred upon others than the committee of public safety that part of labor with which we were charged in such a way as to give us almost nothing to do. Our retreat will therefore give some employment to those who remain, and they will not have too much, considering the able seconds they have now received."
"These were our sentiments, and the Convention should do us justice in this respect."
Tallien.—"The principles that you have just approved of in accepting the resignation of Billaud and Collot, call upon me to say a few words. I have for many days carefully observed what has passed in this assembly. I have scrutinized the public interest and the safety of my country, and I have said to myself in common with all good citizens, "No man in a Republic ought to put himself in the place of principles." If his presence in a Commit-
tee should be a stumbling-block, a sort of hindrance to Revolutionary success, he ought to condemn himself to a species of ostracism. It is time that men should dis-appear before principles, and that liberty, equality, and justice, should alone unite all our suffrages. It is round this fundamental basis of all good government that I wish to rally. Far is it from my idea to throw into the National Convention new seeds of dissention, which have already too much troubled our deliberations. I sacrifice, therefore, this instant all self-love, all particular enmities on the altar of my country, and I declare that I give in my resignation as a member of the committee to public safety. I re-enter the ranks there to combat with the same energy all the enemies of the Revolution.—May the resolution that I take in this moment become the epoch of the union of all the true friends of the people, and of the overthrow of their enemies! I move, therefore, that the Convention accept my resignation." Accepted.
The Convention decreed that they would proceed forthwith to vote, by calling over the names, on the choice of four members of the committee of public safety. The choice fell on Delmas, Fourcroy, Cochin, and Merlin of Douai.
Evening Sitting.
There was an extraordinary sitting in the evening for replacing the members going out of the committee of general safety.
The lot fell on Elie Lacoste, Vouland, Vadier, and Moyse Bayle.
There were also wanting to this committee three members, Jagot, David, and Laviocouterie: the convention named as their successors, Bourdon of Oise, Colonel, Meaulle, Glauzel, Mathieu, Monmayau, and Lefage Senault.
Particulars of the new warlike invention proposed to the National Convention.
J. B. Cope a French Protestant Clergyman of Charlestown, made an offer to the Convention of a new machine for warlike purposes.—This was a bomb (carcase), which when once set on fire, nothing could extinguish. It could be sent 800 paces from a 24 pounder and farther with a greater force. A ship of 120 guns the inventor stated, would not be able to resist the attack of a seventy-four, if the latter were provided with these bombs; and six sail of the line so provided, would be able to attack the whole marine force of Europe in one day, and to destroy them in such a manner as not to permit even a single boat to return into the harbour.
With four pieces of this description it would be possible to prevent any squadron from getting into port; or to burn them if they persevered in the attempt.
The instrument could be easily perfected so as to cause even more terror to land forces, and particularly to cavalry. Its smell and flame could not but disorder the best disciplined squadrons and if thrown against a wall, it would continue to blaze for half an hour.
The inventor presented a bullet composed of the same materials. He feared that he would lose his life rather than disclose the secret of this constitution, if the Convention did not deem proper to convert it to their use.
Barillon observed that a composition, of a similar nature had been offered to Louis XI by that learned chymist Delile. It was an application of wild fire, which even that tyrant declined to use.
He moved that it should be referred to the committees of war and public safety, to determine whether they could avail themselves of the present offer, without danger to humanity.—Decreed.
UNITED STATES.
NEWBURYPORT, Oct. 29.
The 4th Regiment, 2d Brigade, 2d Division, under the command of Col. Evans, paraded near the meeting house in Salisbury, and after a pathetic address was offered to the Throne of Grace, by the Rev. Dr. Webber, they marched to the plain, and were reviewed and inspected by Major Coffin, accompanied by many gentlemen; the officers of several other Regiments were then requested by the officers of this Regiment, to repair with them to Col. Evans', where they had caused ample provision to be prepared; they here partook of an elegant and plentiful dinner, and every guest seemed fully to participate in the joys and pleasures of the day.
They were escorted to and from Col. Evans' by Captain Lurvey's company of Artillery, who were in complete uniform, and made a martial appearance.
The above Brigade is composed of likely robust young men, and appeared capable of any service they may be called to; it can with propriety be observed, that if every Brigade is equal to this, we need not fear any power will presume to attack us by land, and if

PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER 20.
[From a late London Paper] THE ABBE SYES.
It is singular how this man has hitherto escaped that fate to which his conduct, during the former part of the revolution, seemed to have inevitably consigned him.
It has been said, that he is devoted to the system of equality, and that in supporting those principles which he thinks mathematically true, he has constantly kept aloof from all parties, and has thus saved himself from the destruction in which they have all successively been involved.
That the principles of the Abbe Seyes are favorable to the system of equality is so far from being the case that he has repeatedly declared himself the champion of monarchy. On the King's return from Varennes a periodical paper was begun at Paris under the direction of Condorcet, Brissot, and Achille Duchâtel, entitled The Republican . Seyes engaged to defend the monarchical system against the attacks of the Republicans, which drew from Thomas Paine a letter to the Abbe, in which he agreed to enter the lists with him alone and unsupported.
Paine declared that in defending Republicanism, he did not mean to defend the Republic of Holland or Venice, Silesia or Venice, Seyes replied, nor did he mean to defend the Monarchies of Turkey or of England. The controversy was soon dropped.
The case of the Abbe is by no means singular. La Clas, author of the Sai Sans Dangereux and the friend of Orleans has long been in prison, where the government have availed themselves of his talents; he has thereby prolonged his precarious existence.
The Abbe Seyes has always affected the manners of a Cynic, but there is not a party with whom he has not intrigued: His arrogance during the first assembly was extreme. He affected to despise even the talents of Mirabeau but he has lived to be the slave and the creature of Robespierre.
It is so far from being true, that the Abbe's influence in the French government, has lately been great, that the only tenure upon which he has long held his life, has been in unremitting labors in the service of the Committee of Public Safety.
Robesp"> Robespierre knew his talents, and engaged to save him, if he would labour in his service, without taking any share in the administration of affairs. The Abbe has long been little more in Paris than a prisoner at large.
By this Day's Mail.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 17. Arrived yesterday, the brig Rover, Capt. Smith, from Gibraltar, which place he left the 1st of October. Capt. Smith passed, in the Gut, an Algerine cruiser (the only one out) which he saw, two days after, captured and destroyed by two Portuguese vessels. He also informs us, that the Moors had sent out from Tangier and Sallee, their rovers, to capture all vessels they met with, belonging to those nations that had no consular there to represent them. In consequence of which, a Ragusan vessel had been captured and carried into Sallee.
The brig Rover failed from Gibraltar in company with the snow Fair Hebe, Brown, Philadelphia; brig Lavinia, Hobble, do. schooner Madison, Yerkey, do. At the time she left Gibraltar, there was great rejoicing by the French aristocrats, in consequence of news having arrived of the Dauphin being crowned king. The arrival of Hood's fleet was hourly expected.
Yesterday arrived, the French privateer Marat. We are informed, that during her cruise, she took four prizes—two of which have arrived.
ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 13.
[The sloop Betsey arrived here on Tuesday morning from Barbadoes—the following article is extracted from a paper brought by her.]
BRIDGE-TOWN, Sept. 30. —Capt. Reed, late of the schooner Hope, who has returned here from America, informs, that on his arrival at Boston in the above vessel, he received great indignity from the populace, whose first salutation was the bestowing on him a bucket of water, accompanied with all the police epithets now in use in the Republican world. They detained his vessel as American property, notwithstanding she had been legally condemned as a prize to one of our cruisers, and had been purchased by merchants of this town, who obtained for her a British register, and let her on charter to go the voyage.

When the Katy left Hamburg, there were near fifty American flags flying at that port; They had chiefly been to France. A ship, a constant trader from London to Halifax, laden with goods to the amount of £27,000 sterling, has been captured by a French frigate, and sent into Cape Ann. She is expected round here every hour.
Two ships and several brigs arrived yesterday; one of the ships is the Neptune, of this port, bound from Carolina to Europe; having sprung a leak, put in here to repair.
The brig Hannah & Eliza of Charles-town, has been cast away in a hurricane at Guadaloupe, and is lost. She had some sugars on board. We are happy to hear that none of the crew are lost. Mr. Samuel Prince was supercargo of the brig.
Captain Follet, arrived here from Hull, was boarded in the bay by a boat from the Thetis British frigate of 32 guns. She was looking after French frigates.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 18.
Died on Wednesday evening last, after a lingering illness, aged 32 years Mr. Abraham Brewster, eldest son of Henry Brewster, late of this city, merchant; and on Friday evening his remains were interred in the Family Vault, in the old Dutch Church Yard.
On the 17th instant departed this life, at Philadelphia, in the thirty-second year of his age, Mr. JOHN SWAIN, late partner of the publisher of the Daily Advertiser. He was a man of unspotted, and unblemished integrity—of very considerable literary abilities—Modest, and unassuming; of great industry and application; and in every respect a valuable member of Society.

The Corunna mail which arrived yesterday, brought letters giving the very agreeable information that Fontaine and St. Sebastian had been recovered by the Spaniards who were making great preparations, for the purpose of repulsing the enemy from their frontier.
In the latter city every apprehension has subsided; in consequence of which an order has been issued for the ships which had been loaded with stores, &c. preparatory to their departure in the first moment of alarm, to unload, as also it has been signified, that the port is again open for trading vessels of every description.
Friday the Russian Squadron consisting of six ships of the line and four Frigates under the command of Admiral Poyaslikin, failed from Leith roads with a fair wind for Cronstadt.
The communication with Breda and Maastricht is still open; a proof that the Enemy have not yet sat down before either place.
A letter from Constantinople dated the 12th ult. States the melancholy circumstance of three towns, situate between Angore and Ederum having been swallowed up on the 3d of July by an earthquake. One of these places, Tescocram, contained upwards of 50,000 houses; Amaise, another of them a still greater number and the third, Agrom, near four thousand. It is added that out of 100,000 souls which they contained not more than one tenth escaped; the remainder perished. This dreadful catastrophe has spread universal consternation in that part of the world.
From the English Review , to September, 1794.
OF FRANCE.
THERE is not to be found, in the whole compass of history, any circumstance, or combination of circumstances, from which the human mind has received so violent an agitation as that which has accompanied the different shades and shapes of the French revolution. The reformation of religion is one of those great events to which this revolution bears the greatest similarity. But the reformation, modified by German phlegm, was deliberate and regular in its progress; The French revolution, deeply tinctured with French levity and fire, has passed suddenly from form to form; nor can it yet be conjectured in what its devions course will terminate. In France the gradations from despotism to limited monarchy; from limited monarchy to republicanism; from republicanism to democracy; and from democracy to anarchy; have been extremely rapid; so rapid indeed, that, in the midst of all these changes, the form, if form it may be called, of anarchy alone is seen; on a general view, as a fiery object, whirled rapidly round and round, exhibits the appearance of a permanent circle. In this political whirlpool the social feelings have all been swallowed up and lost. The name of freedom has been prostituted to the most oppressive and cruel purposes; a barbarous ferocity has usurped the name of national courage; the completest internal tyranny has been disguised in the garb of revolutionary ardour; and every popular leader has fallen a sacrifice to popular fury.
What the ultimate views of ROBESPIERRE
with his creatures or associates, were, or whether he had any fixed and determinate plan at all, farther than the immediate gratification of an intriguing and restless disposition, incapable of co-partnership or moderation, cannot yet be certainly known. Some have thought that it was his design to bring the Dauphin out of his confinement, and, in his person, to restore monarchy. But Robespierre was generally considered as a determined fanatic; nor could he have any reasonable hope, in the actual temper of the nation, and under the new division of property, of being able to carry that plan into execution. On the other hand, if he reflected at all on the inveterate passion for liberty that had pervaded all France, and discomposed so many attempts to restore monarchical go-
vernment, he could not suppose that the French nation would brook tyranny in the person of an upstart dictator: a dictator unadorned with the splendour of military achievements, and sullied, in public opinion at least, by that littleness and chicane which are ascribed to the profession of the law, in every nation of Europe.
Yet what shall we say? That this demagogue did, in fact, meditate the design of controlling the National Convention by means of the Committee of Public Safety, the Revolutionary Tribunal, the armed force of the municipality, or, in plain English, the city of Paris, and by changing the democratical constitution or the army into a train of dependencies, at the head of which he was to place himself. As to the views and motive of Robespierre, there would be no end of conjecture; but, independently of these, the catastrophe that involved his fate, with that of his partisans, is a most copious subject of reflection moral and political. Among the features that disfigure the French revolution, and consequently the national character of the French, from whose minds and tempers the revolution directly springs, is this, that, in their internal dissensions and contests, there is no gradation in punishment, no moderation in victory. Death is awarded to every crime, proved or suspected: the political partizan is to be appeased only by the death of his adversary. How many individuals, like poor Simon who waited on the Dauphin, and several domestics of the late King and Queen, have fallen sacrifices, not to crimes, not to venial transgressions, not to flight and unfounded suspicions, but to their very virtues.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Nov. 19.
This day precisely at 12 o'clock the President of the United States met both Houses of Congress in the Hall of the House of Representatives pursuant to appointment—when he addressed them in a speech, [for which, see yesterday's Gazette]
The President was accompanied by his Secretary, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, the Attorney General, &c.—The Hall was crowded with a large collection of Citizens Ladies and Gentlemen—The foreign ministers were also present on the occasion—The most impressive silence prevailed while this most important address was delivered—The President then retired and the Senators having withdrawn, the Speech was twice read, by the Clerk, and on motion, referred to a Committee of the whole, and made the order of the day for to-morrow—After ordering that the address should be printed—the House adjourned.
Tuesday, November 20.
The house resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the President's speech—Mr. Trumbull in the chair. The following resolution was moved and agreed to—That it is the opinion of this committee, that a respectful address ought to be presented to the President of the United States, in answer to his address to both houses yesterday—with assurances that this house will take into their serious consideration, the important matters recommended to their attention.
The committee rose and reported this resolution to the house, by whom it was adopted—and Messrs. Madison, Scott and Sedgwick were appointed a committee to prepare the address.
A message was received from the President of the United States, by his Secretary Mr. Dandridge—who brought to the house sundry documents alluded to in the President's address.
The house then proceeded to the choice of a Chaplain for the session, on counting the ballots it appeared that the Rev. Dr. Ashbel Green was re-elected.
The papers received from the President were then read by the clerk—they are numbered from one to twelve—and principally relate to the western insurrection—Dispatches from Gen. Wayne received in the recess, &c.
The reading of these papers was continued till the adjournment.
The Cleopatra and Lynx British ships of war are both at Norfolk. The Hussar British frigate has taken off Charleston, the Republican, and Jou Jou, two French Privateers.

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 Presi- dent of the United States is to embark immediately for London, and that he is au- thorized to bind the United States under the direction of Mr. Jay, for the costs and da- mages, attending the prosecution of the claims of American citizens; that the neces- sary 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 ex- penses of the records will be reimbursed by the United States.
They are of opinion that measures ought to be immediately taken for obtain- ing authenticated copies of such records and proceedings in all cases where they have not already been preserved, and will under- take 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 for places where tried or condemned; with such other infor- mation as the circumstances of the case may require.
They recommend to those who have al- ready obtained the copies of the proceed- ings of the Courts to have them examined by some person of legal knowledge; that if they should be found defective in any re- spect the deficiency may be supplied, at the same time that the records are applied for.
