Shfoa, Mjej. Dieppe, 30th April, '97. »«a« lit, I take the liberty to inform you of my present situation —When I left you in London, lift Janua ry. for France, my dcterminatio'.i was, to obtain a French commiflion, in topes tt get revenge from my infernal enemies ; and my good friends in thii coßtitry granted my r«qu«ft. Whet I retnrned to London, my intention vrai, to cut forae vessel out of the Downs, but by good luck, you had not le't London when I returned, and you was good enough to offer me the commaud of the Hare, which I thought would be a good opportu nity for iib, at I well knew the principal ptrt of the cargo belonged to my detested enenrei, to fay the English, and all the cargo insured in London, among the reft of the robbers. All this business I kept to myfelf and after leaving the infernal tory land, by virtue of my eommiOion, 1 foundafafe port in France, called Dieppe ; my intention was, t6 have the cargo condemned, but had not an idea of the fhip'fharing the fame fate; however, that is the cafe* and if I was tp fuffer ihip wreck, you, nor no other republican fhouid fnffer on my ac count, but at prcftnt it is out of ay power. I ex pefi the darsnei tory party would cut/ny throat, if in their powi r; however, as long as I live, it will be my only study to annoy them, and jf the war continues, they may think themselves lucky if jhey dont get another bite from me. I hope you will excuse me for taking this liberty with your fljip, and hope you may get her restored to you. I wifk you would fend a copy of this to London, as I am afraid they have forgot me j but they may reft as fured that ! have not forgot the Old Jersey, and those damn'd violations committed on me in Lot don, and other parts of thtir infernal domin'ons. Although the cargo of the Hare, does not fall into my hands, it falls iuto the hands of the republicans, which ii the people that 1 delight in.

A gentleman of veracity, this day from Niaga ra, informs us, that a detachment of 60 men, with two field pieces, had left that post, a few weeks Crice, for the Miffifiippi; and that the troops which remain amount to about 100, with four field piet e» : That they have recently been visited by a par ty of about 1000 Indians, mostly of the Six Na tions, accompanied by col.

E. r B FREDERJCKS3URGH, Augufl 12. At a Meeting of the People of Caroline County, at the Court House on Tues day the Bth day of August, 1797, (it being Court day) convened by public no tice given by the Sheriff of the said coun ty, to conlider whether the constitution of Virginia required revision and amend ment : which said meeting was held in pursuance of a resolution of the General Assembly. The fubjeft was taken into consideration, whereupon—. Resolved unanimously, as she opinion of this county, That the faidconftitution is de fective, and that it be recommended to the General Assembly, to call a convention by law, for its revision and amendment. Resolved unanimously, That the! Dele gates for the said county be, and ar« b«i«- by .anftru£ke<i, to endeaYoUt carry tl»e faiil recommendation into effeft. Signed by order of the meetingt JAMES TAYLOR, Chairmari. JOHN PENDLETON, Juii. Secretary. A few of the most prominent defeats in the constitution of our state—Submitted to the meeting for consideration. I ft. The inequality in the representation. For inltance—Caroline havingabout 20,000 people, hag no more representatives than Warwick, having about 3,0c0 : and this mequality.is felt in a greater orlefs, degree by every county in the state. ' 2d. The limitation of the right of fuf frage to freeholders. This excludes the ma jority of the citizens from representation, which it unjust, as they pay taxes, and are liahle .to military feryice. This injustice is aggravated by the mode of taxation which Conjßxfs have adopted, all their taxes being laid consumption, and not on property : so that those who have no land, 'pay ■as much as those who have. The taxes on fait and spirits bear hardest on tke poor, for they consume most of those articles ; they ought therefore to have a vote for those who im pose them': and by the Canftitution of the United Statei, those who vote for the most numerous branch of the State Legiflaturea, are intitled to vote for tht members of the House of Representatives in Congress. Un der this article all freemen in most of the states have such a vote, and why should most of the Freemen in Virginia be excluded ? The inequality in the Senatorial dif trifte is already enoimous, and daily beco ming more so. 4th. rhe militia officers hold their offices during good behaviour, whereas they ought to hold them during pleasure ; because it is the firft principle of liberty, that the mili tary Ihould be dependent ou the civil pow err, and because military officers for life are a fort of priviledged nobility—are the next step to hereditary diftindtions—and art, of course, incompatible with republican prin ciples ; ours is the only state in the union, and probably the only government in the world, where such a thing exists ; and it defeats one of the checks of the Constituti on «>f the United States, which, whilst it girea to the Prefidentand Congref« tbr right of commanding and regulating the militia, leaves to the ttatei the appointment of offi cers to fecure«to each state their fidelity ; a security which is defeated, by having no pow er of dismission. sth. A numerous council is maintained at an expence, for which their services are n* compensation to the community. 6th. Freedom of religion is so loosely provided for, that two laws, since the revo lution, have been thought necessary to se cure it; one to Manumit the di(Tenters from the religious government of the Episcopa lians ; the other to establish religious free dom. Now this ought to be established by the constitution ; because if the legislature had a right to eftablrth it, it follows, that they ilfo have a right to destroy it. AUGUSTA, August 3. The court of inquiry instituted for the purpose of inreftigating the fatfts and cir iumftances on which was grounded the sen tence of the court martial on the trial of the former adjutant general, met at Louisville, pursuant to the resolution of the legislature, and confirmed the former sentence in all its parts, two only difTenting, viz-—the honora blt major general John Twiggs, and the ho norable brigadier general Morrifon ha» a boaryl of officers been twice convened, at a most enormous expense to the state, firft, for the purpose of breaking, and again for that of restoring, a character whose sole pursuit fmce his residence here, ' has been to breed anarchy and confufion. We should not be surprised if Jackson and Twiggs would open Sim a plan of hatching up some other grievances against the meet ing of the next legislature, by which a few thousand dollars more will be drawn from the state coffers. There is a degree of fupinenef* attached to ptople even in the moment of danger, from which innumerable calamities frequent 'j~Tbey will not have seen their error un til it be too late to offer a salve to the wound already infliaed. This Imbecility of the human mind arises from Two causes by placing ao overstrained confidence in those who once profeffed to have been our friends ; and secondly in believing we are at all times, ready and capable of warding off any unfore-1 seen blow which may. be aimed us. Be tween individuals thi« doftrine may hold good, but in political bodies, and in the itercourfe between nations, nothing can b« more absurd. There was a time when it was thought a crime to sup pose a Frenchman capable of treachery—ca pable of injuring an American ; but that time is now no more:—The American* have since received abundaut proofs of the treachery of that people—we fay treachery, because they have not attacked us as open enemies, but as assassins in the dark W« have frequently apprised our fellovr-citizens 1 °f the secret intentions of these people in distributing themselves all over the United States—we have frequently told tftem that this intefltion partly consisted in poisoning the minds of th# people against their happy government, and partly in instigating a spirit . of commotion for certain supposed grievan ce'—that these things are now fully verified, is unhappily too true. There are, at thil time, about a million and a half of French men within the United States—the calcula tion is far from being, exaggerated—We appeal to any man who will give himfelf the trouble to reflect a little, whether this num ber is not capable of mpch mifchief at this time —It is true, we gave them an asylum from affaifination and oppression, as we would have done to the people of other nations, but we did not flop here—we clothed, we fed them; and raised liberal fubferiptions for their fupportv-although their nation ■was then endeavouring t> yverttfrq fir go vefnment, We (hewed ourfelvcs above taking revtnge on the unfortunate. But how have this very people repaid us ? By every aftion which could link or degrade the human cha racter—ln this place we have bur (hare of them j and perhaps trione than we ought to countenance—Let fads speak for themselves When the stage arrivved here this day Week, a certain Frenchman in this town opened a letter, and with much alfiduity circulated the following as part of its vizi— That Jtfcffrs. Harper, Rutledge and Smith, of South Carolina, all three members of the house of representatives, had absconded in consequence of their being implicated in the difgraceful design of William Blount; and that the British consul general was com mitted to jail. * , We know this to be a lie ; becatife Mr. Smith is appointed minister to Portugal, and has aftually aecepted that appointment —Mr. Harper is one of the committee ap pointed to investigate, in the recess of con gress, the tranfaftion which led to Blount's design on our government ; and as to Mr. Rutledge, his chara&er is too' well-known, and established in this country to fuffer ariy thing from the animadverfionsfcf aa itinerant refpett to the British consul, the executive of the United States know 3 his duty and the right of nations too well to attempt the imprisoning a foreign confnl—He is in an official capacity ; and a* such, is not amenable to the civil laws of this country, he is proteftcd by the law of na tions— such things might do very well in France ; but at this time they are better ordered in this country. Whether the a bove letter was manufaftured by the French man himielf, or that he received it from a citizen correspondent, £who is, perhaps in some other part of the union, upon the fame exprefg errand that this citizen is here] is perfeftly immaterial to its criminality—ln either cafe he deserves a quick conveyance from Georgia. art iii a I nMMi * m ■argjg Jwupycr mm »mu mimt iwrnw * + ■ ■■ Late Foreign News.

The account of the most material parts of my ■ eondu<!\, together with the reason of my reso lution, will be the fubjefl of this letter. Mr. Grattan concludes this appeal to his fel low countrymen in the Following wo.di :* May the King'y power that for'ms.ope tflatr in our Constitution, continue forever ! but let l it be as it profefies to be, and as by tfic princi ples and laws of these countries, it fhouldbe,one estate only—and not ? pow;r confirming one estate, creating another, and influencing a third.
