Rampillon endeavoured to refute the
reasonings of Bpiffy d'Anplas, by quoting
the last part of a speech which he pronounc
ed to the conventiorl, in which he used this
expreflion: ' The catholic religion fells
very dearly the confutation which it gives
the Unfortunate.' He painted the disasters
of*La Vendee, and the vengeance employ
ed by the priests and fanatics. Policy, the
tepofe of humanity, and the good of the
state, said he, oppose a dispensation from
the oath, and the privilege of bells. The
difcuflion was adjourned. '•

Jean Dreby, in a motion of order, Mov
ed that for the purpose of formally contra
dicting those who wished to counteract the
revolution, arid of uniting the minds of
those who have been long divided, the re
turn of the 14th of July, this firft epoch
of the French revolution, be confeorated
by a solemn declaration, that the French
citizens who overthrew the Baftile in 1789,
have deserved well of their country. A
doptcd.
Johannet.—You cannot celebrate the
anniversary of the 14th of July, in the
way that it ought to be, without giving
liberty to the ecclefiaflics in confinement or
banishment. I move that the projeft of
Dubruel be adopted.
A difcuflion took place on this motion,
which was supported by Royer-Colard and
, Paftoret, and opposed by Thibaudeau and
PerCey.
LONDON, July IJ.
Yesterday at half pad one the remain# of the ve

Mr. Kirkman, Mr. Davie*,
Mr. Hughes, Mr. Ledger,

The corpse was taken into the vcflry, and pray
ers read over it, in a very iropreffive and pathetic
manner, by the Rev. Mr. Ambrose, who had been
a pupil of the I'eceafed, and from the refpefl he
bote his tutor, had come from Cambridge to per
form the last act of kindness in reading over him
the funeral service.
Alter this ceremony the body was interred in the
vault dose to the north-gate of the cliurch-yari, at
the, entrance in eovent-garden.
It was at the deceased's particular request that he
was interred in this vault, having a brother buried
there ; the cxpence of opening it was defrayed by
Mr. Harris.
On the coffin lid wit inferibed—
CHARLES MACKLIN,
COMEDIAN,

Aged 97.
The funeral was conducted by Mr. Sloper, of
tovent-garden theatre.
A great number of persons were aflembled to fee
the last of this veteran of the ft age ; and among
whom were many of his theatrical friends, who
had tojoyed his good company while living, at the
elub of Antelopians, which he always frequented
till within three month* of his deatji.

Advice has been received at the admiralty, that
"a vessel called tile SeaHerfe, of Liverpool, took a
Spanilh pelacre, in the Mediterranean, and carried
her into Gibraltar,but having the plague on board,
(he and her prize were ordered to quit the harbor,
and orders have been sent from England for all
{kips who may fall in with them net to have any
intercourse with the crews of the above veftels,
till they have performed quarantine.
Mr. Mazzingi, it appears, has been put upon
the Lisle flation ; r.o doubt, to enable lord Malmef

been made in the Leopard, the Lp.rtcalter, and the
Sandwich, where mutiny mod predominated. And
such ®f the present prisoners as may be appointed
to die, are enough to fuffer in the other (hips. This
mav iikewila be gathered from the tenor of the
que'ftions now put by the court martial, which
have all a tendency, rather-to acquit than condemn.
And it is but reasonable to fuppole, that the enor

will dispose government to terminate it as soon as
the necessity of the cafe allows.
The inhabitants of Botany Bay have instituted
theatrical amusements, and have some very adroit

The independent ele&ors of the city of
Dublin, we understand, amounting to an
undeniable and great majority, mean to take
no part whatever in the return of representa

not exerciiing their fuffragc—one of which

The negociation at Lisle has Commenced j
under favorable atifpices, but tlie firft de
mands of the French appear to be very high.
The negociation betwixt the French an<* the
emperor still goes on, though it is said to
meet with many interruptions ; but the em
peror, afraid of Bubnaparte, exhauftrd in
his finances, and threatened by the king of
Pruflia, will ultimately, there is no doubt,
sign the articles of peace. The cabinet of
Berlin has, in fadl, pufolifhed a declaration
of war against the emperor, within these
few dafs. Switzerland begins to feel the
(hock of the revolutionary volcano, which is
also extending te the islands of the Archi
pelago, and pramifes very (hortly to (hake
the throne of the Grand Turke. The death
of Mr. Burke, at such a period, is an ev£n.t
of no fttiall moment.
Deeply versed as the French indisputably
are in that firft of revolutionary arts, the
deftruftion of every impulse of feeling and
humanity, they have never been able able so
far to revolutionize the brute creation as to
reduce them, in this refpeft, to a par with
themselves. It is a faft not less curious than
certain, that, at one of the allegoric feftivals
given by Robespierre, the oxen who drew
the car of liberty flopped (hort at the en
trance of the Place"de la Revolution, dif-'
gufted with the ffnell of blood with which
the ground was overflown. Every effort of
the driver to make them advance proved
fruitlefs. . The populace, deeply struck with
the circumstance, retired alio, and abandon

Yesterday arrived a mail from Ireland.
One of the papers of that country remarks,
that so altered are the sentiments of the peo
ple of the north, in consequence of the at
tempered firmnefs and clemency of the go
vernment, and the to-operative conduft of
the officers there commanding, that the
greatest desire to enter into the service mani

the government of their country, they now
teftify an eagernefs'to become its armed sup
porters.
The marquis de Spinola came to Eng
land on account of being ordered to quit
the French territory.
The funeral of Mr. Burke was condufted
with great solemnity and decorum. The
pall-bearers were :
The lord chancellor, fpeakerof the house
of commons, fir Gilbert Elliot, duke of
Devonshire, earl Fitzwilliam, earl of Inchi
quin, and the hon. Mr. Windham, secretary
of war. Besides these gentlemen, there
were many others of rank who attended, as
well as feveralof the French officers, deputed
from the committee. Mr. Burke's manu
scripts are to be immediately revised, and
sent to the press.
Sir Edward Pellew with his little squad

The Paris papers have corrected their er
ror about lord Malmefbury being received at
Lisle with great diftinftion. His reception
was as we have stated it to be. The follow
ing detail of it is given in L'Eclair of the
13th instant :
" A discharge of 50 pieces of cannon did
not take place on the arrival of lord Malmef
bury. He was received with no honor what
ever, and even the guard at the gate was not
turned out. He was condufted to an hotel,
where two sentinels were instantly placed.
Citizen Artaud, president of the municipali
ty, and Le Clercq, commiflioner of the ex
ecutive directory, accompanied his lordship.
" The president offered lord Malmefbury
a lodging, which however could sot be got
ready in less than two days. He also offer
ed him every thing he and his suite might
be in want of, which was accepted by his
lord (hip. All the inhabitants of Lisle are
very much discontented with this kind of
reception ; but it is entirely attributed to
Letourneur, who, it is said, gave orders to
that effedt. Yet on his own arrival at Lisle,
he had no objeftion to be saluted with a dis
charge of artillery, and to have the streets
lined by the national guard from the gates
oif the city to his lodging." Morn. Her.
The French direftory, since the introduc
tion of Mr. Barthclemy, has conduced the
affairs of that government with greater se
crecy than ever, and scarcely a word trans

gociation.
By captain Ker, of the American fliip
lUuftrioms President, arrived Monday morn
ing at Cowes, from Batavia, we receive the
pleasing intelligence that he left at St. He
lena, the 24th of May last, all well, the fol
lowing homeward-bound Eaft-Indiamen, —
which were, the firft fair wind, to fail under
convoy of his majesty's fliip Ruby, for Eng
land : Bombay Castle, Earl Howe, Brunf
wick, Exeter, Earl Cornwallis, and a coun
try (hip, with feten whalers.
To the eastward of the Cape, captain
Ker was chaced by a single French frigate,
and though so near at one time as to receive
the Frenchman's fire, was fortunate enough
to make his escape by dint of manoeuvring.
It was reported at St. Helena, that a
fqttadron of fix frigates, rendezvousing at
the Mauritius, had taken and carried in
there several American and neutral vessels,
with cargoes of immense value.

Lijle, July 14.
I arrived here only yesterday morning ;
and I believe I can already assure you that,
whatever reports may be circulated in your
city, in order to affeft the price of flocks,
we (hall soon have a well cemented peace.
This, at least, is the opinion of your friend
who'performs a very important part in
this momentous business. This likewise is
the opinion of every man of uiiderftanding.
Indeed, what power on earth can now pre
vent the conclusion of this grand work, fincc
on one fide both nations sigh for peace, and
and on the other every thing proves, that
Pitt, for the firft time in his life, afts with
sincerity. Some people r take pains to pcr
fuade the public, that the Dire&ory will
throw obstacles in the way of the negotiati
on, bot is it not univevfally known, that
the French nation on the one fide, and their
representatives ontht other, have openly de
clared their sentiments upon this fubj«CV.—
To oppose the wi/hes of a whole nation whtf
fecured their liberty by forqe of arms
Avere to 7 expofe themselves to all the blame
and responsibility of future events, and even
to incur the guilt of treason ; in (hort, if
the negotiations Were to be broken off, the
two Councils would call upon the Directo
ry to acquaint them with their motives, and
the English Government, as they did on the
■former mission of Lord Malmefbury, would
1 make their conduCt-andproportions public,
in order to prove that they themselves aCted
with candour and sincerity. If ibe Direc
tory could have ftopt in the beginning they
cfcrtainly would have done it, and of this
we have * pro4f, iioce they disapproved the
conduCt of Buonaparte, in agreeing in the
the preliminaries with the;, Emperor to ad
mit to a Congrefe to be held an English
envoy ; now it is too late, and you may rec
kon with certainty upon a speedy peacfi on
tolerable terms."
The letter is certainly to be regarded on
ly as the reasoning of an indivdual ; but it
is obvious' that the French do not feel
conscious that their terms are calcula
ted to exasperate the English Court, and
to break the negociation. What those terms
are we do not know ; but from'various cir-'
comftances it is evident that the negociati
on will be spun out to a great length. If
we were to hazard a conjeCture on the out
line of the French projeCt it would be, that
they demand for themselves,
1. The restitution of all our conquefis in
the Weft-Indies ; a condition Much Great
Britain would not hefitite to comply with.
2. The restitution of their settlement in
the East Indies, butwith ahint that it might
be surrendered for an equivalent.
3. The surrender of the doCtrirre, that
free bottoms do not make free goods, by
which neutral vessels might in time of war
navigate fafely.
4.. An indemnity for their losses at Tou
lon ; an article of claim advanced only as a
make-weight, to be afterwards given up.
5. The formal surrender ofour mortgage
on Belgium—an article, however, about
which they are careless, as they are in fniig
poffeflion.
For Spain and Batavia they would inti
mate that arrangement might be
made, by which they would suggest the ex
pediency of our conceding Gibraltar to
Spain, upon condition that she should grant
to the Dutch an equivalent in the Weft-
Indies for the Cape' ■of Good Hope and
Ceylon, which should remain with us.
The Dutth Weft-India colonies to be res
tored, and an indemnity granted for the
{hips and cargoes ftopt in England at the
commencement of the war.
These speculations, however, are like all
that have been published on the subjeCt, ex
tremely vague, and perhaps very filly. We
can only fay, that we have made arrange
ments for procuring as early accounts as pos
sible of the progress of the conferences, and
without any idle boasting of our resources,
we may be permitted to fay, that our read
ers may at lesft-expeCt fidelity and candour
in our communications and that we will
not pretend to more knowledge than we
really pofiefs. Morning Chronicle.
We flop the press to announce French
paper* up to Monday last, the 17th instant,
inelufive. They do not contain any. im
portant intelligence. Paris is perfectly tran
quil. The feaft of the 14th July was cele
brated with great order and oeeonomy ; and
Carnot, as President of the Directory, pro
nounced a difcourft interesting from the
tone of security with which he speaks of the
situation of the republic, and from the of
fence which it gave Jacobins, who
are daily propagating alarms of internal
danger.
" How pleasant it is," fays Carnot, " to
celebrate the day on which liberty had its
birth—that liberty which arose out of the
bosom of tempests was preserved in the midst
of so many flioals, sanCtioned by so many
vidtories—that liberty, in short, which gua
rantees a conflitution still new, but which
has already been proved by so many violent
attacks, by so many dark conspiracies, by
such unexampled success !
" Happy if, while the republic astonishes
the world with the eclat of her arms, and
stipulates with moderation, even on the the
atre of her victories, the conditions of her
peace and the repose of Europe ; wicked
men, animated by the vilest paflions, by jea
lousy, avarice, and the third of vengeance,
shall not succeed in tearing, her vitals.
" But what can these impotent efforts
j>vail against the national will, which de
mands an end to the revolution ? In vain is
an alliance formed betwein anarchy and def
potifnv ; between rage and hypocrisy ; be
tween Lous XVIII. and the shade of Ma
rat, to extinguish the social compact of'9s.
They will not fueceed more in'trying to de
stroy it by sudden explosion, than in execut
ing' the proje& of demolishing it piece by
piece.
" Republicans, alarmed for she fate of the
conflitution, be re-afTured. No, liberty shall
not parish. No, it is not a r<trogade move
ment, to make a necessary narch back to
the point which ought not to haxe been o
verleapt. Our legislators will know how to
stop at the point marked out by juflice ;
and that vigour of government which has
been able to strike down anarchy even in its
fury, will know how to prevent it from re
viving ; and will strike down royalifm in its
turn, if it shall dare to raise its proscribed
head.
" Friends of the republic, would you
hasten the moment of enjoyment unaltera
ble, keep at a distance from the impure re
mains of that abhorred seCt, those sanguina
ry defciples of Robespierre and Baboeuf,
who insolently mix their infamous cause
with yours.
" The republic, fay you, is about to pe-
/
ri:h. It is In coifcfintioa with all the efforts
of tfialignity ; its enemies enter in crowds ;
fansrtrcifm brandishes its flaming torch. Say
rather that the confutation is strong indeed,
fincebyits means, the republio can already
brave so many combined enemies'", since the
internal tfSnquiliry has fuffered no sensible
alteration ; lince each day, during the 20
months of its organization, our situation
has been incessantly improving ; since it
flourifhe6 } since it prospers in spite of the
clamours, in spite of the defamation, in spite
of the penury, under the brambles with
which they strive to ftifle it.
" May a separation then take place be
tween the cause of the good and that of
the perverse. May oar enemies be 1 num
bered that their nullity may be recognized !
" Frenchmen, <Jare at length to call your
selves republicans ! Dare to make a com
mon cause with the conquerers of Europe,
your fathers, your and your sons.
May all alarm among us cease ! May eve
ry one, in discharging with fidelity the du
ties which the neceflities of the state require,
feel himfelffafe in his liberty and property.
May he who has honestly acquired, enjoy
the fruits of his industry, without fear of be
ing despoiled by the molt crul enemyss of
the "republic, without fear of being the vic
tim of his civifm, of his confidence in the
word of the legislature, without fear of in
voking in vain the constitutional eharter of
his security and rights.
" Frenchmen, let us smooth the trifling in
terefls which divide us; let us carry even to
the feet of the Eternal Father, our free and
pure worship ; and may every one serve
God according to his own conscience, pro
vided we offer up oot' adoration in the Ipi
rit of love and concord. The dominion of
the law is separated from that of the con
science. True religion, whatever may be
its worship, is essentially the friend of order,
and of the obedience due to magistrates :
it is the friend, therefore, of the republican
conflitution. May every fort of worship,
then, be exercised freely, under national pro
tection ; and may they in their turn, who
demand only for themselves simple tolera
tion, not become the opprefTors of their fel
lowcitrizens.
" Yes : the conflitution is terminated !
You, who are still seduced by different views/
of imaginary good, renounce these delufion#
which render you miserable ; abandon thf
projefts of which you will soon become the
viClims : The time for exaggeration is pad ;
it is no longer by a revolutionizing enthuf -
asm, but by prudence and'firmnefs by whic 1
a revolution is consolidated, that you can fd
cure the basis of your happiness. French*
men, may this commemoration of the day
on-which you conqured liberty, contribute
to make it more dear to yon than ever."
This speech was received with the molt
lively acclamations of applause.

MILAN, Junt 20.
The patriots here had flattered themselves
th*t a revolution would take place in the
states of the duke of Parma, and that they
would be added to the Cifalpitie republic.
This hope has, however, been disappointed
by a proclamation from general Buonaparte
of the 10th instant, in which it is ordered,
1. That the boundaries between Lom
bardy, the Milanese, the territory of Reg
gio, and the states of the infant duke of
Parma, shall remain as fettled in the third
year of the republic.
2. That no injury shall be done to any
subjeCt of his royal highness.
3. The Parmesan deserters who shall take
refuge in the Cisalpine republic, as also all
criminals, shall be delivered up.
It is said, however, that the Swiss baili

VELLETU, in Italy, |une 28.
A plan was formed to revolutionize thii
place, and to drive away the GoverOor. In
order to detach us from the Holy See, our
philanthropic regenerators had formed the
design of planting the Tree of Liberty, and
of aflaffinating all who (hould oppose this ci
vic ceremony. The Governor being inform
ed of the plot, made himfelf sure of the good
Citizens, and communicated to them the
circumstances. The Agents of the Con
spiracy were carefully watched, but no im
pediment was thrown in the way of their
design. The Tree of Liberty was aceord
ingly planted in the night's hut at the break
of day, the people were surprised by the
fight of fe\;en heads hung round the
tree. There appeared also the following
inscription: " Liberty and equality to those
who like them. Do you continue to plant
trees, -and we shall not cease to crown them
with your heads." To this was appended
a scroll, containing the names of all those
who had taken a part in the conspiracy.
The tree, and the heads, which were those
of the principals in the plot, including two
strangers, were soon after removed. The
Governor tranfmittedan accountofthis event
to the Court of Rome, and we since hear
nothing more either of Liberty or equality.

To the Inspectors of the Hialth Office
for the Port of Philadelphia.
GENTLEMEN,
Agreeable to your request we now lay be
fore you the following brief relation of fa£ts,
refpefting the state of the City Hospital.
Since the commencement of this institu
tion, 169 patients have been admitted int&
it. Of this number, 62 have died, 31 have
been discharged cured, 1 have eloped, and
61 remain in the Hospital: of whom 14 are
convalescents. Unfortunately the difeafea
of many of thcfe patients were so far advan
ced previous to their admission, and the in
formation we received concerning them fa
imperfeft, that it was impossible either to
render them any effe&Oal medical relief, or
to form an accurate opinion of the real na
ture of their complaints, at the -firft attack.
Several of these had received some medical
assistance before they came our care,
while others were totally during
the iiivhole course of their illness. Of thefe
many died from 2 to 24 hours after their
admission into the Hospital. In the present
return 17 are of that description.
A great number of the cases which
under our obftrvation are billions remittent
fevers. A few have aflumed the appearance
of the Typhus IcleroiJtt attended with symp
toms which indicate a considerable degree of
malignity. One was the natural Small
Pox, another the Hooping Cough, and in
two the most striking symptom was dy.fen
tcry. The maligrtity in many inftgnces has
probably been much iocreafed by the unheal
thinefs of the places where tha sick haYe re
sided, f»ch as frnall crouded houses in nar
row, confined, and badly •ventilated alleys,
as well as from other circumstances frequent
ly attending those who dwell in such places.
These circumstances have been rendered flill
more unfavorable by the general desertion of
the sick, which has been a consequence of
the present alarm.
Not having been yet called on by the at
tending physicians in the city and suburbs»
to vifjt the sick now under their care, we
cannot give a decided opinion refpefting the
contagious or peflilential nature of the
es in those parts. We can only fay, at pre
sent, that though the Hospital has been al
ready opened 4 weeks, no inltance has oc
curred of its being communicated to the nu
merous attendants whose duty obliges them
to'be|among the sick both day and night,
in all fituatiom and in all stages of tbc Fe
ver. Nor have any ot the grave-diggers, or
those employed in removing or burying the
dead,i been in the lea ft affedled. We are,
extremely happy that' we have it is our pow
er to communicate pleasing information, si
it may in forae measure, contribute to leflon
the dread of receiving the contagion of the
disease by attending the fiek, and prevent
that general desertion which we have no
doubt has considerably encreafed the mor
tality.
We are,
Gentlemen,
Your most obedient fcrvants,
