Jhrurik from the' iafolent triumph o£ their
enemies, and from the exultation of arif
tocrgcy, difgiljfed by a maik of lamenta
tion and horror. Thus did all the princi
ples and'all the friends of the revolution
fuffei: from the wickedness of a' few indi
viduals. In vain was it fald that those
who fiiffered were guilty ;—it was an
fwertd that a prison was as sacred as an
altar, and that he who could violate a pri
son, is capable of betraying his country."
Thus far Thomas Paine.'
It was not enough for them, however,
thus to second the views of Pitt, and to
furjlifh him with the rrteans of alarming
and maddening the people of England .in
to a war. They mud do the fame service
to the Stadtholdtr, and to the aristocracy
of .iiollatird.
!' Cambon said to Abbem, (the Dutch
banker* a patriotic refugee at Paris) "You
have no church laiifk to c'onfifeate in Hol
land las w'e found in Flinders —when we
get to" Afflfterdam we must make a revo
lution of Portfolios!" Mull not such
language teach Holland, and was it not
wotth the Stadtholder an army ?
jThe war which their abfurditics and
crim«s provoked his is it 3 conchiift beer,
every- where p«tkied by their incapacity,
and the diftraftions which they have crra
ted.'
P A defencclefs frontier and a ■dilcon
tented people seemed to invite the inv.inon
of Spain ; her opulent and unarmed co
lonies prefented-an easy prey to our marine
—to Lo.iifiana which had been fold to the
SpaoKb eemrr-ivc ieemed tw ow conquest
as a- repartition ; -the Dutch colonies in In -
dia might-have been enabled to* throw off
the yoke of Holland; and on the Conti
nent, a powerful Prince, the MithridatCs
of India, vanquifted but not destroyed,
animatcdwith an implacable animosity to
the English name, needed only the ap
pearance of a French force, again to take
up'arms against the objects of his heredi
tary detestation.
" In Europe too there are circumstan
ces, of which statesmen of a daring and
comprchenfive genius might have improv
ed. The obstinate ignorance of jacobinism,
ruined against the rock of Sardinia, that
fleet under Truguet, which, if it had
appeared in tlie Archipelago, would have
emboldened the Porte again to arm against
Ruflia; to support Poland; to attempt
the re-c*ptare of the Crimea ; and would
thus have lighted a flame in the east of
Europe which all the efforts of our ene
mies would have been, scarce able to extin-
guifh.
" The Weft-India colonies of our ene
mies Would have been fnfficiently annoyed
by an improvement in the internal regimen
of our own islands."
This alludes, we presume, to the scheme
for emancipating and arrfling their (laves,
which wis-agitated about nine months ago.
" Sometime ago Bueot proposed a law,
that every deputy should give an account
of his fortune, and of the additions which
he had made to it during the constituent
Affe-mbly, the Legislative AfTembly, and
the Convention. Had such a law been
pafied, when it came to my turn I mud
have anfwe're^ —nothing. It is thus that
I would refute'the calumniator who called
me the ally of Pift.—An incorruptible
character, evidenced by this honorable po
verty?, is the only patrimony I (hall be
queath to my children. This proposition
of Buzot yas, however, evaded by the
Anarchils ; and indeed, such an enquiry
would have proved embarrafiing to them.
Fibre A'Eglantine, in tlie lowest state of
indigence before the maflacres of Septem
ber, how came he to acquire a larded es
tate of 12/300 livres a year, and how does
he support his hotel, his carriage and his
fervanta are the sudden for
tunes of Panis, of Sergent, and of so many
others of the afiafiinating commune of Pa
ris ? How (hall we account for the large
estates lately purchased in the name of the
father-ii.-law of Danton ?"
He concludes in these words,
« Anarchlfts, robbers, you may now
strike—l have done my duty, I have spok
en truths ufeful to my country, and they
will survive me!"

For the Gjzmtts of the United States,
Mr. Fenno,
Be pleased t6' republifh the following
very fmgular paragraph taken from your
paper of the 31ft of December, 1793,
with the accompanying remarks.
" A letter published in a morning pa
per from a member of Congrcfs, to some
merchant in Peterfburgh, Virginia, men
tions the agency of Great Britain in mak
ing the truce between Portugal and Al
giers. It is but justice to declare, that
fubfequeut information has been received
from higher authority than the one alluded
to, declaring that the truce was made
without the intervention of that nation,
&by the agency of a person who has had no
initru&ions from that power for a consider
able period, and whose appointment has
long been fuperceded."
The origin, design and tendency of this
qprnmunication being too obvious to i>o
miftahen, the writer of the letter feels
himfelf conltrained to observe, tlv? it
would It more than jiifticf to Great Britain',
and lefrlban jvftke to the United States,
to declare, thai subsequent information •' has
been received from higher authority, than
the one alluded to, declaring that the truce
I was made without the intervention cfthat
hation, and by HU -agency 6? a person,
who had no inftruftio.-is from that power
for a confi4erab}e-time> arid wfiofe appoint
ment lists long since been fuperceded."
Because he conceives fucli a declaration
'would bfc palpably untrue. T*he fubjequent
infarpiation, that is, the iirfdrmation bf the
latest dates, from the riioft authentic and
iliredV channel, confirifrs the -intelligenct
given in the letter to the merchants of
Peterftmrgh, and suggests further-, that
Qreat Britalh is the gukrantee for the due
perfortnaace of the truce, and had exerted
herfelf in Portugal to prevent that nation
from furnilhing a convoy to the defcnce
lass Apt'tican vefiels in her ports.
ft is iiicomprehenfible, that Great Bri
taia (hould- guarantee the tnice, without
foa* agency in making it, or at le'all with-,
out having an agent oh the spot to an
twcrfor the guarantee.
This Day the new.built Episcopal
Church entitled, CHRIST's CHURCH,
