FRENCH CALENDAR.
Humanity is not more shocked at the
Gothic baibarities of the French, than
religion at their impiety,, The divine
law, ordaining a Sabbath once in seven
days, is violated by the National Conven
tion, who have decreed, that a week {hall
conlift of ten davs, and cverv tenth day
be appropriated to reft and to the Celebra
tion of the revolution. God Almighty
.has said, Six days Jbalt thou labor and do
all thy work ; the Convention fay nine
dar6 (halt thou Libor and do all thy work.
Query, how will poor laborer* like tUc
alteration ? The divine iriftitution of the
Sabbath, allows fifty-two days in the yeai
for repole ; the French, mighty zealous
friends of the poor, decree that they lhall
be allowtd only thirty-fix days in the year
for reft !—lf however the bodies of man
and beast can fultain this additional la
bor, it will be no fmail faring of time.
There are at least eight Trillions of laborers
in France, whefe labor is worth twenty
cents a day—sixteen days labor in a year
amounts to three dollars and twenty cents,
which each laborer will earn in a year,
more than he did under the divine esta
blishment. This sum multiplied by eight
millions, gives a produ& of twenty-five
millions iix hundred thousand dollars, the
annual extra earnings under the new insti
tution. This is no trifling sum ; indeed
fucn an extra sum will be wanted to re
pair the loss of Lyons, and other towns
vyantonly burnt by order of the Conven
tion or the Generals of their armies.
Died at the iiland of Curracoa, the
14th of Dec. last, Dr. Paul Micheau.who
failed from this city in October, with a
view of fettling there as a Physician and
Surgeon.
BOSTON, January 8,
Yesterday arrived in this town, Capt.
Benj. Calley. who on the ioth of Oft.
last, was taken in the schooner Two Bro
thers, of Newbury port, by the privateer
Pallas, of Jamaica : and who on the 22d
of the fame month, whilst in the posses
sion of the said privateer, was call away
on Auckland's Keys, where the vessel and
cargo, which was very valuable, and con
lifted of cotton and coffee, were entirely
L-ft, as were two of the crew. After ex
periencing this disaster, Capt. Calley took
pafTage for Jamaica, where he entered his
prated against the said privateer. Capt.
Calley informs, that the most disagreeable
proceedings mark the conduct of the Ja
maica privateers, who frequently destroy
the papers of the American vessels they
capture, and thereby deprive the comman
ders of the evidence necessary to prove
their being American bottoms, and load
ed with American property—that several
vessels and cargoes which he believed to
have been American, have been condem
ned ; and that those libelled at the time
be left Kingflon, which was on the 19th
Dec. were under the disagreeable necessity
of being detained there, until March next
—until then no admiralty court fits. When
Capt. Calley left Jamaica, the following,
among other vessels,' wqre detained there,
viz. brig Beaver, Capt. Peirce, cf New
buryport, brig Nancy, Capt. Clements,
of Portland—schooner Malahey, Captain
Wadfworth cf Duxbury—brig Dolphin,
Captain Bradbury, of Kennebunk. " All
the cargoes of which, were libelled—and
that of the beaver condemned.
We understand, that Captain Calley in
tends again to enter his protest against the
above spoliation ; and it is hoped, that
fach spirited measures will be pursued by
the government of the United States as
will, besides restoring to him, and his own
ers, the property they have loft, prevent
similar vexations from being praftifcd.
PHILADELPHIA,
JANUARY iS.
The National Convention, after having

lic Safety, decrees as follows :

of the meal'iire. of pubiic fafcty (h.tll be

tt-'rm, fha]l be pumfhed a: an attempt against
liberty.

General Safety
XT I. The dire£tion and employment
of the revolutionary army lhall be regu
lated without delay, in such a manner as
to check the progress of the counter-revo
lutioniils. The committee of public fafe
ty thall present a plan for this purpose.
Finances
XIV. There lhall be created a tribunal
and a jury of refponlibility. This tribu
nal and this jury thall be appointed by the
National Convention ; their office (hall be
to prolecute all those who have had the
management of the public monies since the
revolution, and to demand of them an ac
count of their private fortune. The or
ganization of this tribunal is referred to the
committee of legislation.
That an American citizen has a right
to leave the United States and go where
he plesfcs, in a peaceable manner, unarm
ed, and without hostile intentions, no one
will dispute. Bvrt that any citizen may
.aim himfelf or enlifi; others aud arm them,
with a vieiv to commit hostilities on a na
tion with whom we are at peace, is a doc
trine highly dangerous to the government
and to the peace and prosperity of this
country. Such a doflrine would lead us
into endless confufion, and perpetual war.
Yet this doctrine is preached and strongly
inculcated by certain anti-patriotic peo
ple, called democrats, who pretend every
one has the privilege of doing what is
right in his own eyes ; that town meeting's
and evening clubs are the great fafe guards
of our liberties, and that patriotism con
lifts in condemning government, and flnd
rng out a world of evils and dangers, which
no man feels nor has reason to fear.
From all fucli dangerous do&rines, and
all restless hypocritical patriots, who would
overthrow the government that protefta
them—Good Lord deliver us.

From the General Advertiser.
Great pains are taken in an everitig paper
to cry down all popular affocialions, and to
propagate an opinion that government can do
no wrong, or that the people have \o right
to "watch over the conduit of their frvavts,
and prevent their doing wrong. If indivi
duals have a right to express their (ip'tuwns
on the fubjeS of public measures, tbfe indivi
duals havefurely that right collectively, an d
the exercise of it is necessary at this moment,
■when public officers, not content -with their
individual influence, club it to carry points
which individually they laould not dire to
advocate.
