Mr. Fenno,
OUR di (organizing party fay, leave the
work of govtrnm'en to our management.
We will let matters into a wonderfully fine
train—We will continue embargo afer em
bargo, for the benefit of trade. The Engliih
will not let us traffic in the Weft Indies, and
we will cut off at a stroke of our guillotine
all trade with England—We will break ail
the bones that we find whole in the Ikins of
Our poOr briiifed' merchants. We will pre
vent negotiation in order to prevent war—
We will fequeiler debts, prohibit all com
merce and'do our worst to scare the Engliih
men out of their wits, left we ihould be dis
pleased with them. In the mean time we
will go cm and reftri# trade very much at
leisure, we (hall have nothing else to do.
Thus for the love we bear our dear mer
chants, we will have no commerce. Our
zeal for peace is (hewn just as sensibly. We
lay (tumbling blocks in the way of negoci
ation. We scorn to treat when we have
taufe of war with England. When we have
a<3ual war with Algiers we scorn to do any
' thing but treat, In the firft cafe, treating is
plaving the fool, in the second, arming is
not better. To get ready for war, we talk
fiercely. We stab the revenue to the vitak,
forbid the importations which yield it, and
th*n llrong in poverty we defy all foes.
Without the (inews of war, we will provoke
It. Let us alone, and the national govern

cannonade lasted several. hours, but the issue
of the engagement has not transpired.
111 the afternoon t>f the 19th intelligence
was received at Oppenheim, that the French
were on the point of evacuating Worms, and
from the large volumes of fmofce which rose
from that quarter, there is reason to suppose
that that city has been set bn fire. We ex
peift the farther particulars,.
The Duke of Briinfwick is at Merttz,and
General Knobelfdorf has reached O]
heim.
The Republicans have upwards of iooo
waggons with them, which came from Lor

loss, the best part of their cavalry and in
fantry was killed. The reft made a preci
pitate retreat to Kirchheim, favored by a
thick fog. One of their advanced polls of
1100 men, Rationed in the wood, was en
tirely cut in pieces. The Prussians also took
on this occasion three officers, 48 privates
and upwards of 20 borfes.
We are this moment informed, that the
smoke seen in the environs of Worms, was
owing to the conflagration of the Palace, and
of all the buildings belonging to the Nobi
lity and Gentry.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 12.
Giafar Han, Sovereign of the. Chtrasf
one of the molt powerful Princes of Per
sia, has lately been dethroned by his 'bro
ther, Mahomft Han, who entefed into
the possession of his dominions—This new
Periian usurper is now threatening the
Turkish dominions with a powerful rtva
fion. i
A far more formidable enemy has late
ly riien in Arabia, who menaces the Sub
lime Porte with no less than a total fub
verlion of the Mahometan Religion and
ddtrudtion to the reign of the Succefiors
of the Caliphs.
This enemy'is a Schcich Hujabi, who
is at the head of a numerous Arabian
Tribe, encamped between Mecca and Baf
fora. He profcfles to deny the Divine
Million of Mahomet, the Sandtity of the
Alcoran, and all the Religious Ceremo
nies of Mahometanifm. He and his Tiibe
are continually adoring the Divinity in
the open field, defpiiing the institution of
Mosques or Temples. The Father of
this Arabian Chief, an old man of eigh
ty, is the Founder, and Principal Priest
of this new feit. The Rights and Laws,
he has > composed himfelf, and collated
in a book. It is much apprehended, that
he fuft acts of hostility of these New
Se£taries will be directed againlt Mecca
aod Medina, in order to render themfelvcs
masters of the immense treasures of the
Ottoman Empire contained in these two
towns.
Our Government seem in a sea of un

NATfONAL CONVENTION,
January 12.
A letter from Tureau Bourbottc, re
presentatives at the Isle of Noirmoutier,
which they have called the Isle of the
Mountain, stated that they had taken all
the necessary precautions to guard this is
land, which might be called one of the
keys of France. They had established a
fuificient garrison, appointed an able en
gineer, a Sans Culotte c«mmander,' and
a revolutionary tribunal of a good ilamp.
—On the morning alter victory, the com
miffi mers, thinking that a number of roy
alills mi-;ht be concealed in the woods,
and among the rocks, ordered a general
hunt of them in the fame manner as of ra
bits : and this search brought forth an im
mense crowd of priests, of the wives of
emigrants, and others who hadconftantly
eluded the pursuit of the Republicans.
A military commission was lffued to try
tljefe people, and from General Delbec
downwards they had fuffered death.
•'You will.fee," fays the letter, "by
the copy of the interrogatory of Delbec,
that the isle of Noirmontier became the
retreat of these chiefs, only because they
were led v to eXpect these succors from Pitt,
to whom they, only fifteen days before,
had sent the Chevalier du
present to the English court a Have of the

royaliitsin this part of France, agreeable
to the desire of the British cabinet, and
they found provisions for 20,000 men for

ex-deputy, Dechezeaux, hasjuft paid the
forfeit of his crimes with his head. The

lowed by several others. The public
spirit of revolution is at its acme in these
parts.
The criminal code is not fufficiently se
vere ; or rather, it takes no notice of per

ALL that have appeared havz the letter F.
for their Alphabetical Mark. v
The Texture of the Paper is thicker and
whiter and it takes the ink more freely than
the genuine paper.
The O. in' the word Company is smaller
than the M. and other letters of that word,
so that a line extended from the top of the O,
to touch the top of the M. would extend con
siderably above the range of the whole word.
In the word United the letters are narrow
erand closer together than the reft of the bill
The i and fin the word promise are not
parallel, the yinclining much more torwarj
than the i.
The engraving is badly cxecuted.the ftrolces
of all the Letters are stronger and the device
in the margin particularly is much coarser and
appears darker than in the true bills. Some

They are printed on a paper nearly similar
to that of the-counterfeit Five Dollar Notes

The fine ruled lines through the word Twen

the counterfeits.
The word Company is much like the fame

There is no stroke to the / in the word Nortfc
Whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well
defined. ♦
The lexers cnt in the word Twenty, to the

the line, but are so cut as to give an trregufiU*
appearance to the word, the 7wand they go

ance of being written with lamp-black and
