" According to English papers, Thomas Paine, Hamilton fipwan, and James Nap per Tandy were an in Paris on the 4th of Julyiaft. The paragraphifts appear to ap prehend something from the junction of this trio ; convinced, perhaps, that the uni ted force of these three honefl men in any country are more than equal to the nefarious machinations of all the knaves in the Uni verse." [As jacobinism has long been the sole paflport to hooefty, in the opinion of Sintthefe may be with him, three eminently ioittjl men. Though by his italitifing this very delicate word, it may be that he defigneda slur upon these poor patriots, and 1 have mistaken bis meaning. Not that there can be any doubts of the eenfummatc honefly of all patriots. Freneau is doubtlcfs an bonefl man. so is Bache, so are they all, all btnefi men. Every man who seeks to fubflitute his own fyftcm, in op position to the opinion of millions, for the already established form, which they are attached to, is an honed man and a good patriot! But some people who are in more nice and scrupulous habits than Mr. Freneaa, on thi» poipt, will require other qualifications than a pretended patriotism, for a paiTport to their good opinion. A curious lapfu in the above, deserves to be no-' ticed . The latter part of the paragraph would have been fufficiently reconcileable with his own tenets, if he had applied it to England—But take it as it flands, and it contains a clear inference, that his three bomji men are in a land where all the knaves in the universe arc collected. Unhappily this is not true.] . • POLITICAL REFLECTIONS. When the eye wonders back into the his tory of mankind, and beholds with what savage fer»»ity the nations of the earth have, from the earheft of times, wafted ant} de stroyed each other; when we observe the sanguinary commptions of the present day, and fee Europe, the mod civilized quarter of the globe, drenched in tears and in blood we are almost induced to credit the opinion of Hobbes, that a state of war it the natur al condition of mankind, Let us firft, however, in*rrogate the heart of man; let his faculties be analysed; let it be enquired how far he is the creature of education and of moral difciph'ne, before we pronounce that natural, which be charged to the imperfection of political in stitution and positive laws. It will be found, on a closer examination, that peace and not war, is the natural state of man. The lat ter, as may be demonftratcd from the records of all ages, is the disease of society, genera ted by the ambition of power and the lust of dominion. Amctfcans ! study tlje arts of peace. A void as much as possible, any interference with the politicks of Europe.—Beware of the evil which so long has distorted the vari ous government oftkeearth; and give lia bility to the principles which fofter the hap- ] pinefs and prosperity of fociat beings. Your 1 situation is truly critical. View the esifc of : war. Deliberate wejl before ycnl tr.ake fi)e 1 last tremecdi«u3 appeal of society. On yenr 1 government the hopes a:id the tears of man kind have alighted. With fe\y exceptions, indeed, it is built, on principles that are de duced from the fitnels of things. Its dura tion or its decline will prove to the world the strength and virtue, or the corruptibility and wcakncfs, of the human character. SPANISH TF..

T. Daily Gaxelte. Mejfrs. M'J.ean Iff Lang t As the attainment of an end depends much upon the means made use of, the friends of civil liberty throughout the world have great reason to fear that the monsters who have adted in the name of liberty for nearly eight years,' and have deluged France with blood and committed the most (hocking out rages on humanity, will have left such an imprefiion of (hame, horror and vengeance C!t the minds bf the French nation, as to make t'be» throw themselves ifcto the arms of perhaps <leipotf£u itfelf, to evince to the wofld that they had no participation in the revolutionary crimes which ha7<? left an in delible stain on the national charaftef. To every person acquainted with the paflions of men and the history of past ages, it is evident that anarchy, carnage, and civil diffentions await France immediately on the event of a general peace, when the public mind no longer occupied with foreign war, will turn its thoughts within, and fee and feel the ef fects of the devastations committed on reli gion, commerce, manufactures, property and morals, by men profefllng to be the apostles of liberty and a£ting in her name. The deadly hatred and animolity which the dif ferent faftions will feel towards each other, will be produ&ive of the most dreadful anar chy, and taking "the, history of past ages for a datnm; it is not improbable that, tired of the horrors of civil discord, and anxious to rescue the national charadter from the odium cast upon It by the sanguinary men who have condudted the revolution—they will seek for repose and national honor in the arms of any chief who poflelTes their confi dence. The abhorrence ofVthe French na tion against the men who have carried on therevolution,is increased by French writers, who daily iiTue pamphlets reciting the hor rid reign of the men of blood ; the tenden cy of these writings in exciting detestation of the men, will be to excite detestation of their meafures-*-the event mull be obvious. The following horrid pidturc ii set before the eyes of the French nation, by the elegant author of " The crimes committed during the French Revolution." vol. I, page 72, a work just publiftied at Parjs. Translated for this Gazette. " Ah ! behold the horrid pi&ure which discloses itfelf to our view ! fee this land strewed over with bloody carcafrs—torn to pieces, mutilated, beheaded ; these heaps of bones, of limbs, of heads—ghastly barrier— which eur crimes have raised between nature and us : hear the doleful cries of the ghosts of our vidtims, re-echo in the woods, in the fields, and in the cities ; rife up from the bottom of the sets,, frpm the bosom of riv ers, from the bowels of the earth, and with their mournful and revengeful accents im plore the too dilatory thunder to fall on our criminal heads. See the dead bodies of those cnildrcn rc-a'nimated, rife ou the breads offhfir drowned mothers, and ftretch mg out their arms to us, Hammering ex claim, " it is through you that we are or phans." See them follow us, and in their broken Ikulls, present to our burning lips, the innocent blood we have died.' See those bodies deprived of heads, press towards us, cling round us with their arms, like so many serpents, pull tis dotVn, roll us in the bloody mire where our horrid impiety aba'ndoned without th« rites of iepulttire and de cency. There, a head, stripped from the reft of the body, rolls before us, bites at us, muttering these words : " Butchering Le gislators, what have you dim* with my bo dy and limbs ? Whyhavayou thus murder ed and separated us ? If yr a could blood only quench your; thiril ?" Farther, some arms, (hot off by our orders cling round 11s, and by their menacing gestures, excite the furies to torment us. Still far ther, the genius of remorse, with a torch in his hand, writes in letters of blood on tlie sand : France, in naming a Convention, has produced a movjler which males nature Jhudder. Ah ! which of us will gue a mortal stab to those people who continually hover about us and a e forever befort our eyes ( tkey make the earth appear barren and comfort lefs to us, they rob us of the light of hea ven, they co'ver the high roads, they darken and render more glooniy even the forefts ; they are round about us—they are near us ; they are far from us." " Let us appeal to fadts." " Will posterity believe that France, that the firft people in the universe, should have had a senate, which, during three years, fanftioned all forts of crimes ; a which, during 18 months, saw coldly, cart loads of victims roll towards the fcaffolds ! Will our defcendents believe that it was to all the cries of innocence, that some of these fenntors went from choice to dine in view of the places of puni(hment,*that the disgusting afpett of revolutionary murders was the prelude to the pleasures of the table, that the fail of the aftaflin's cleaver was Aie signal for beginning their orgies, that some of those conscript fathers saw their broth ers in the hands of the executioners and never took a single step to save them ; o thers who signalized themselves by denounc ing them ; others, in fine, who delivered them up to death with their own hands ; that gambling and plays finifhed the day, that their bosom companions were the judg es and jury of the tribunals of -blood, rob bers, spies, and the fans culotte Sultans of the revolutionary committees, and to carry our national shame to the highelFpitch, the members of the commune were vile enough to be the horrid engines of the mo'ft horrid senate t]jst ever difgrpced the annals of hu manity." " Will posterity believe, that those pro consuls, those Angels of death, whom sena torial Tartarus vomited on France, were ftnt to rob, violate, guillotine, drown, e goi'ge, (hoot, demolilh yet this was their million, the deftruftion of the human race did not even fatisfy their rage ; \jhen men were not to be found, they destroyed works of arts—the noblest monuments of human ingenuity. Towns disappeared under the stroke of the axe—flames effaced cities. O posterity ! you will withhold your belief of it! listen then, and tremble. » The lame? of some of those procon- I fills, you will find in the history, we (hall leave you ; your aftonidied eyes will there fee pieces, the authentic witnesseS of faCls which we fnall only hint at here ; some of those proconsuls killed with their own hands the prisoners who made any com plaints ; some covered with the dress of Re presentatives of the People, mounting the fcaffolds to harrangue x the unfortunate vic tims about to die ; some cruelly, dragged out women to be fpe&ators of the unjult massacre of their hufbagtis; some threatened to punish health officers, for having afford ed medical afliftance to unhappy prisoners." " Others caused citizens to be dragged before tribunals or popular commissioners, and said to the judges, " Condemn them, or the fcaffold awaits you." Three judges and one jurrie (or juryman) of the revolu tionary tribunal of Paris, of the firft organi zation, were torn to pieces, for wilhing to acquit fgmeaccufed persons." " Others {topped men and women in'the streets, whose looks difplcafed them, caufetl them to be brought before the tribunals, where men hired by them for the purpose as witnesses, appeared against them, the 1 judges were forced to pass fenterjee." * 1 " Another wrote to the authority of the department of the Sommt where he was in ; million, as well as to the committee of ge- 1 neral fafety of the convention :—" I have i spread my large net to take all my guil- 1 LpTiNE game—l have finilhed loading for- 1 ty-four cart loads." ( " This proconsul iflued mandates of ar- 1 reflation against young women and girls, 1 and kept them in his apartment." i " Others placed themselves at the win- c dovvs in light of the fcaffold, demoli(hed the 1 buildings which might intercept the prof- j pe£l, and there calmly tifted the horrid plea- s sure of feeing rivers /of innocent blood f spilt." r " A woman dared to ask of one of th»fe j monsters the liberation of herhufband—To- \ morrow, answered he, you will fee his head 1 on one fide of the guillotine and his body on a the other. He was as good as hi 3 word." c " Another obliged a young and beautiful a w6man, who folicired the liberty of her 1 hu(band, to grant him some favors. The 1 great affection (he had for her husband, de- ' termiued her to the facnfice of her honor— h (he inflantly flew to the prison to acquaint b him ; that he was no more a prisoner,- telling I him in confidence of the facrifice (he had e made to obtain his liberty - Some days after, n this proconsul guillotined the hulband, and a even the wife." " Another saw a girl in tears, imploring at his feet, the suspension of the judgment, J of her father ; tears aud prayers are of no . avail; the proconsul kicks her from him, f and tears her petition. Diftradted by grief' d some expreflions escape her ; he had her ar- g rcfted and dragged before the revolutionary « tribunal of Paris—She was seven months t! pregnant, when guillotined."' a " Another, at the issue of an orgie, wilh- a ed to fee a fh'r.v ; the judges were at the f; feaft ; four prieltsand four nuns were drawn c out of the dungeons, they appeared, were e condemned and pcri(hc.d, after which the' si guests put themselves at table again." • a: Auother parodying the faying of Ti* h " tui, said, " Lihfcrtjr his L.l * u no oiitfO—l , has been guillotined." - " Another bniijgtit up and - guillotined an old man of So fmp, father - of twelve children, under a pretext of hit 1 having monopolized the offices of mayor'and ,of judge of the peace. The'true motive wai r an old personal referitmerit." , " There is irr.t wheat enbugh in France - for all the population, ftid another it is •i neeeflary to facriirce half to nourish the re e mainder.-—Above all, we ought to destroy j- the women,. they breed too fall." " Another burnt whole communes, and 3 guillotined part of the inhabitants." t " Theft efcortcd by cannon, raised con r tributibns to pay the debauches they were • guilty of with the pretorian guards, and - granted only four hours to funiift the sum l demanded." ; ~ " These took to themselves the most beau ; tiful palaces in the cities where they (laid * > affefting t,he pomp and - ease of kings; and while the people overrun the court yards of t tiieir palaces to wait their presence and - bread, they indolently reclined on fophas in , the interior of their seraglios, glowly occu > PV'ng themselves with the important bufi t ness of getting their likenefTes taken.

As Barras, who was president of the felf-created, blood-stained Directory, - when his man Monroe presented his letters of 1 recal, has become known by name to the ; citizens' of the United States, from his in , fulting language to the people of thi* eoun • try in answer to citizen Monfoe's address, I • thought proper to give feme account of said Barras from the foregoing work. " Our colleagues Freron, Barras, Sali cetti, Gafparin, Robespierre the younger, and general marquis Delapeype, law of Freron, have charged themselves to attend to the (hooting 800 inhabitants of Toulon, to guillotine all the federalifts of MarfeiHes, as well as to demolish the most elegant monuments of art in this city, and to del«ge with blood all the south of France.' 1 " Barras is the monster who was foremoft in all the bloody maflacres of Robespierre who voted for the death of his colleagues— who headed the army against the fedtions of Paris to force their acceptance of the prel'ent constitution, on which day thonfands of va luable lives were loft—who owes his feat in the Direftery to-the monsters whose feats in the Legislative Body he secured by force and usurpation—who is a rank jacobin, an enemy to peace in Europe, and a most bit ter foe to the morally fubhnse heroes'who * have administered ourgovernment,and whose adminifl ration has been firm, pure, patri- * otic and attended with a felicity which ap pears incredible, when we consider the stu died, continued system of disorganization which has been praftifed in this country by •every one of theagents of Jacobinism, Ame ricans ns well as French. The moral charac ter of Barras it notorious, the marriage tie with him is an inducement to intrigue: lewd to excess—-he disregards the most sacred feel ings of humanity when they offer a barrier to the gratification of his lust.—Yet not withstanding the depravity of Barras, he is the bosom friend of our immaculate ex-mi nister Monroe—they held together their nocturnal orgies and midnight associations, they " parted with regret," but not before Barras gave his dearMonroe a farewell feafl, to which a great mob was invited, and a mong the reft an opera girl by the name of Clotilde, upon whose entrance, Mrs. Mon roe, and the lady of the Venetian ambafTador thought proper to retire. It is well knowt> that Mr. Monroe was on'terms of the great est intimacy with all the jacobin party at Paris, a party who are most inimical to peace and to the United but happily for the human race whose reign is certainly 'hort. Not with (landing Mr.iMonroe might be in dangerof losing his head from -?ue mo derate party who are getting the whip hand of the Jacobins, for the decided part he has taken with ttt latter, still lam glad lie is a- , mong us, where, if he is detested and ex ecrated, his life will not be in danger, -nor our national charafter tarnished by the igno minious fate of one of our ex-ministers Although the people of these ftatesjuftly ascribe the embarraflmeats they have felt from I'rench depredations, openly and cri minally passive, if not secretly aftive, in a great measure, totheconduft ofMr. M e whi': in France, still to prove himfelf not so abandoned as to be altogether loft to all regard for public opinion, he ought to come forward to disprove the charge made against him by Mr. Harper in the House of Representatives of " being a traitor and of having betrayed the intereftsof hiscountry.'* 1 his unqualified charge now stands against him, and I believe ever will, an I am cred* bly informed Mr. Giles called upon Mi:. Harper, refpedting the business, who /hew ed him such proofs and documents as ituu ned even Mr. Giles into fileni astonishment at the patriotiim and virtue of Iw's friend. „.-New York, Au.puft JB, 1707. \ MjfrCM'LiAH SC Lahc..
