Extraft of a letter from St. John's, New
tO- foundland, dated the 22d of May. to a c
person in Norfolk.
" I had ihe misfortune to let dne of my q
in! out-houfes, last fall, to two soldiers, who (it
■rly appears) had been in the habit of Healing p
gunpowder, from the magazine at Fort- c
B°. Townfend. On the 13 of February last,
about ten o'clock at night, as they were p
drying some part of it that had been wet; c
it catched fire and made a most dreadful ex- d'
'/« plosion, which entirely demoliflied the buil- c'
ding they occupied, and carried away one r> C
of the chimnies of my dwelfinghoufe, and s '
the part of the other; it also tore away the C
>"• whole of my back porch, and tore to pieces
d *T the beds, See. in one of my rooms up stairs, R
ea. and broke all my windows. But the fate of
er- the unfortunate tenants with whom tfie ac- a
j° ci'dent happened it still more melancholy,— na
, r . three women and two children were entirely r)
to consumed, one of the men was found dead
on the spot where the house itood, the other 311
1 still survives, a most wretched, miserable and t( "
al . pitiable objea. Thanks forever to the Al- R]
nd mighty Disposer of Events, whose merciful £
i'- intervention only could have saved us at that
lp ~ awful moment—my family all escaped un- g -
n- hurt. ' cot

HAVING seen your furitius letter of the
ork ■3 1 May, addrcfled to .your fellow riti
lore Z^n ®' w ' l ' c ' l y 6 " express so. much refmt
fton mem anc ' •■dignaticj} against the presentment
of the federal grand jury ; and having hid
th? honor (whatever you
ork being one °f that body myfeJf,T was premp-
Folk tcci an inclination, whish 1 could not easily
wfifl, of taking some little notice of that ex.
ihia traord;nar y epift'e ; though 1 was well perfuv
ded at the fame time, that treating it with a
contemptuous silence would-have Lee it the
lon - I
fy and pitiful a produftion to iis merited 1
ton ob!ivion - . . :
I by no means intend to enter into a po- ,
and litical difcuflipn with you, relative to the (
ore propriety or legality of the presentment ,
which you complain of with so much„ acri
mony ; butjuft simply 'to observe, that it is ;
ore owing to such worthies as you are, and to c
!al- those turbulent and inflammatory profile- a
the tions, which you, and thole of your politi- r
ifh [ cal complexion, aretheauthorsbf,anyofthat j
bat the people of the United States are opposed j t
lall |to their government, and that in the event l c
ike of a rupture between the two republics, a a
24 j considerable part of our country men would t
declare in their favor ; and also to observe, t
er, ! that it is from their viewing us as thus ppli
ft, j tically circuriiftanced, that they have dared tl
el, jto ir.fult us in a manner that stands unri- 0
yalled in the aimals of the proudest and "
lia haughtiest monarchies. £
You ought, I humbly conceive, Sir, as a ®!
iover of your country, and as a member of „
re the general legislature, to whom your confti- u
j tuents have'entru fted a portion of their hap'- o
I pinefs, to. have employed every means, (cf- ■»'
I pecially as we have but two marry reasons to &
j apprehend entering into a wai) in uniting ie
I your fellow citizens together'in the defence
1 of their common country, tfifeir lives, their 1 P
liberty, and all that can be dear to them as
•g I men. But instead of promoting so neceflary ! ?
and salutary an end, and one so much to be '
y| wished for by eviery -worthy and virtuous '
I American, you have been indtiftrioufly em- j m
■, ployed in taking every step that appeared to 1 , ca
) you as most likely to counteraft it, both by ' u
n attempting to render the government odious j- Jt
I in the eyes of the people, and by endeavour- j 0
k ing to alienate theit Confidence and affedtion I 111
d from that great and good man, who admi- j
niftered it, and also by reprtfenting his fuc- ! r°
I ceilor as inimical to the interest and cause of V:
n the French nation; and consequently hostile
n to the general principle of republicanism. ,
Surely such conduct tends not only to create
. a foreign influence among us, but likewise tp .
e I invite the French to make war upon us, eit
v with every afTiirance of meeting with the
. approbation and good wilbes of a Consider- ca
e able proportion of pur countrymen. View
r I i'ug yon then in this'light, and as guilty of .
those charges, is there any man,in his sober
f senses, who has difce'rntnent rjnough to dif-
1 tinguilh between the incendiaryand th« firm, to '
- I but peaceful lover of bis country, who dues ru '
not abhor you as a traitor ?'"Yoar patriotism alr
1 (if it is not an aßufe of terrrrs to call it „
1 j and your writings-border on {he wild aitrl
■ incoherent ravings of a madman—and you
■ rather resemble the fury Aleflo, fcatteriiig arK
> j his feeds of jeal'oufy, inftirreftiori, and con
| rufion, over this happy land, tjian the able
1 j statesman, or the wife and beneficent legifla
j tor. It was for those reasons, Sir. and not f
l -from the-delire oflefitning the independence l ' C i
of private-opinion, a3 you afFed to believe, vu
that I determined befort I set out from ' °
home, to' have you presented if I possibly ra
I could : and U fottnd that every member of U . °'
the grand jury, with, whom T had any con-?' p pr. r
verfatioh t)n the fnbjeft exaftly coincided ' l!
with me in fentiraent, that you were a fit !, e
j and proper objeftto come und.crtbe cogniz- '''
ance as a fedtral granil jury ; consequently, 1
the inference, that the presentment was the
result of the charge, which was delivered by n " r
the judges, is entirely founded iq error. F W S
will tell you more Mr. Cabell—there was ari
not one dHTentient opinion among the whole a .
ofthe jury; and that it wSsowjiig to the r
tenderness of one of the only two foreigners
.who served on it, the word unanimous was not V J " c
inserted in the presentment. I will also tell 1
you another thing. Sir, that you muil not
think of imposing npon the goo 4 sense and
difcernmentofAmericansbythetinfelglareof ,°*J
virtue and patriotism with which you in vain , lc .
attempt to blind them. The veil, believe '
me, is too thinly spread to conceal you ; r
and such conduit as you pursue, serves but
the more to expose yoti to obloquy and con
i tempt. You accuse usof dreading the French
nation ; but I am of opinion, were : this
charge founded in truth; "we 'should jhave

ice . If is b >" no means aftonifliing that Robrf.
eir pierre continued to live in this Hate of ap
as parent poverty, even when all the treasures
los France were at his disposal. He had, by
be so continuing to live, a sure mode of de
•us ro ) affiilants and {Meads who a
m_ matted money, and lived in fine palaces, be
to cause he could reproach them with their
by lnxur y ; a reproach which, as it could neither
us !? c denied, nor retorted upon himfelf, gave
|r _ solidity to every other accusation which he
on | m! S ht brin £ a g ai "ft them. Add to this, that
: while all,the wealth of France was at his
c . command* it was of importance to have a
of few millons set apart, which could only, if
discovered, serve as a handle for his enemies.
n> Robespierre seems, from the time that he
te b f came m aster of France, to have made up
to *V S m ' nd ' as indeed all tyrants ihould do,
, g eitller t0 remain at the head of affairs, or
ie perish ; because to flefcend was imprafti
cable. He therefore, took none ofthofe
S r_ methods of securing to hinifeif friends or
3 f fortune which occupied the attention of fu
er bordmate men. His whole Views were con
■{. centra ted in reigning as mailer; and, there
,, fore he afted continually upon the plan of
-s ruling, or falling a facrifice at once to his
ambition.
x When Robofpierre had got rid of Briflfot,
Petion, Condoreet, and the other friends who
u had overt urned the throne of Louis the XV L
• and exalted him, he began immediately to
» organize the fyltem of'terror. He put to
death the Qneen ot France, made Sanguina y
t . decrees, and covered all France with com
t miffdties, who had the power of life and
e death, and at whose disposal all property ws«,
, without reserve. Mara', that fanguina y
fcoundrel, who had traineJ up the people of
France more savage than they naturally
j- would have hfc 'me even uuder the conven
tion, became, foimidablejto Robefp r-e ; t -nd
j i is r.eit to certain that he fell a facrifice to
the jealousy of his former friend.—Marat w s
d!,and had many fymptons of being attaikc I
{jy flow poison,, when he was ftahbed by
| Charlotte Cotde. It is firmly believed by
; njany, atid everi he himfelf thought, that he
w.-s polfem-d T»y Robefperre. And there
; are many rcafons for tjimlii g, that the poir
! arl of 'he fanatic who ass fltaated him was
; directed t'V the tyrant himfelf.
One thing ia perfeftly evident thro'the
whole of the life ps Robespierre,' which is,
that he never was turned, either through
pity or friendfhip from any aft, which his
ow.n fafety or his ambition dictated : an'd
- for the proof of this, the manner in which
he sent his friends and aiTociates to the guil
lotine isfufficier.t.
