The following filly fabrication has been copied from some Jacobin print 6f England : an American has tacked to it " State of France," and it is now circulating with great industry, all over the country. " V Slate of France. Extraft of a letter from a young nobleman now in Lisle. have remained in a (late of aftonifhmer.t ever since my arrival in this country. Oh ! what a number of fibs our ministers have told : They said a country could not live happy under French principles. On land ing at Calais I expefted to fee the fields burnt up and barren ; but what was my surprise to fee them covered with the fineft verdure, and bearing the richest crops. The country between this and Lisle resembles a garden. From what M. Wndham told me I thought the people would all be .clothed in rags, and ornamented with blooay dag- | gers : that they would have famine, diftrult, ' and wretchedness in their looks : instead of | this, they are a more open, merry set than our ' own countrymen ; they have no dread of Botany Bay for opening their mouths, nor a baftile for making a wry face ; neither do they fear spies and informers ; and they are much better clad ana fed than they were formerly. After what I have heard in > England, I can scarcely believe I am in France. We have here delicious wines and ! sumptuous dinners ; the women are beauti ful, engaging and elegant, and the men are polite and obliging. The fun fliines in Lisle the fame as it* London, and the people walk upon two legs, tbnugh the former it l inhabited by republicans. The birds sing ; and waters flow, jpft as if the people lived in a state -of civil society ; and the day light as regularly makes its appearance as if they were governed by a king. From the (N. T.) Minerva. We have presented to our readers the ob fcrvations of Paftoret, in the council of five hundred, relative to the conduit of the di redory towards the United States. We have in our pofleflion an answer to those ob servations, entitled, the " American govern ment unveiled," which, in every refpeft, equals the Billingsgate of the Aurora and Porcupine's Gazette. After some general remarks on attempts of Segur and Paftoret, to overthrow the con stitution, the writer fays, " At the time when France constituted itfelf into a repub lic, the pretended allies of Paftoret detached themselves from us, not by a declaration of war, which would have beceme a frank and loyal nation, but by all those obfeure and indelicate manoeuvres, which mart the weak ness of a perfidious government This is laying we ought to have gone to war at once—attempts to steer clear of the war and preserve neutrality, are called per- The writer takes for his proofs, the sub stance of the complaints of Mr. Genet, as they stand in his letter to Mr. Jefferfon, of Sept. 18, 1793 — v ' z - 'he president's re ceiving the visits of Noailles and Talon, his fuffering medallions of Capet and his fantily to hang in hii room, his conduct relative to arming in our ports, prizes, Ac. and that Wafington* had delayed to call congress together, notwithstanding Mr. Genet's " re fpe&ful infinuationg." The writer speaks of Washington's being surrounded with " men of Englandhe speaks of the " patriciate," or senate, as being a " conspiracy against the American people he speaks of Mr. Monroe's being sent " plenipotentiary" to Paris " without powers," ds ap a& of Machiavelifm, to de ceive the French, by his warm repuhlican ifm, and fending Mr. Jay to London, to make a treaty deftruftive of the French trea ties. lie calls Mr. Jay the " Dumolard of the United States, (that is, a tory,') Warmly attached to monarchy, to a peerage, and to George the III." The writer suggests that the executive of America has been guided by British agent*, leagued with all traitors, refugee colonists and emigrants, in a fhameful manner—with a view to overturn the republic. I This nonsense has been repeated in Ameri ca, and re-echoed by the French Jacobins, till it is perfe&ly stale—it ceases even to ex cite Cefentment. But what the writer fays of the designs of the French government, if true, deserves more serious confederation. He suggests that the French republic, struggling against two and twenty armed at once, has, hitherto, diflembled her deep resentment against the IJjiited States. But now she has cut off almost all the heads of the menacing hydra, and finee that of Eng land only remains to be taken off, « it is the part of her grandeur, as well as of her juflice, to manifejl to the United States all her fenfilnli ty." Tbe direftory, he fays, have " Knio their brows like Jupiter, but have not hurl ed the thunder—Nestor has fpeken, but Achilles has remained ilfrhis tent." What then must we poor devils do, when Jupiter launches his thunder-bolts at us, and Achilles marches forth, armed with terror ! The following paragraph is given liter ally : " In a state of war so violent as that which the French republic has sustained against the most powerful kings of Europe, it is indubitable that neutral nations were not lier friends, and that her friends who covered themselves with a fhameful neutrality, have been and are her enemia." This is the speaking but, what French agents and their advocates have often hinted to us before. The writer then examines the question of * So this word is spelt in this Griib-ftreet produdlion. v.-as with the United States. Re fays, mer- : chants who ttade with the republic or again ft ! her, under the American Bjtfr counter revo- ; lutioniils whs have placed their money in the banks of the United Stages, &c. raise an outcry about the dagger of war with the United States. Having withdrawn their capitals from France, and placed them in America, they .feara rupture —which might expose them to a fcqueftmtion of their pro perty. The fame cry, he fays, Was raised by those who had money 1 in the bank of Venifcvc, in Geneva, and in the caverns of Switzerland. He hints very plainly that the French government ought not to fuffer such friends to escape, when it is driven to every expedient to raise money. j. He goes on to examine the means of at- : tack and defenfe, possessed by the United States. We have not time at present to notice his nbfervatious oiv these points and some others—but he has one remark, that we shall give entire. It is this :—" that when the present powers make peace, t!fcn is the time to chastise governments which are weak, crafty and faithlefs." The meaning of this, we leave to the rea der's conjecltires. From the NEW-YORK GAZETTE, &c. Our Jacobin Prints appear to be inflrong convulfions,from a fear that the Legislative Body of the government of Prance with the great body of the people on their fide, should get the better of the Direßory and th: Army, in their frefentjlruggle forfuperiority.

Test my fellow Citizens, we have monflers among us, (I mean our jacobins, Antifedera lijls, Anarchifls) —who, with patricidal,diabo lical feelings, would wijh to fee the Direßory triumph over the two Councils of France, in hopes that French piracy and robbery may con tinue againjl their defencelefs countrymen.

JOSEPH S. PRICE. Hi/ltry of a lig Mill,' and of a Miller that would not grind without water. Once upon a time a good natured fort of a man, in passing through a diftrid of •the country, observed fever.l dreams of water, which though individually small, were nevertheless briflc and lively. But, in the whole diftriet, he could not hear of a single mill for the conveniency of the in habitants in manufacturing their grain. He pitied the poor fouls when he saw them every day pounding their corn, and break- ! ing it with much labor in a mortar, whereby they majie put to procure a sorry fort of bread, hardly fit for a dog to eat. He determined therefore, in his own mind, to build a mill for their accommodation. j With much labor, expense and difficulty, he effefted a junftion of a conf'derable j number of these small streams, that by i flowing unitedly into his pond, should raise a fufficient head of water"to carry on busi ness. He next ercfted his mill-dam, and when the whole was completed, advertised that he was ready to grind for the neigh bourhqod. Now the mill soon went mer rily round, and every one saw the advan tage of carrying his grift theie. To en -1 courage them, the man of the mill took but very small toll, so in faft as hardly to lupport"* the expenses of the manufa&ure. After some time grinding, he began _ to perceive that the mill took more water to niaks her go round than came into the pond ! from the several sluices ; however, he went j 1 pn with his work till the pond was become j ! so low that the mill-wheel fairly flopped of j I itfelf, and thte whole internal machinery at I tlj*« fame time became motionless. He I ■therefore (hut down the gate to let the wa- i ter rife again and fill the pond. Now be- ! gan grumbling. The neighbourhood were vexed with the man and his mill for its (top ping, and accused him of being an unfteadv fort of a devilish fellow, inasmuch as he did not keep the mill steadily going round, without fnterruption. Gentlemen, said he, make the streams that come in equal to the stream that goes out, and the mill (hall grind without ceasing, I'll warrant you. If you cannot or will not do that, yon must e'en wait till the water rises again ! NEWARK, September 27. COMMUNICATION. On Friday the 15th inft. was held an ex amination at the academy in this town, when the trustees and several gentlemen of litera ture attended—the students of the Latin and Greek languages did honor to themfdves and their tutor Mr. Findley, in the profici ency which they made since the lad examina tion ; the trustees were gratified to fee a laudable emulation prevail among the stu dents: in encouraging which, Mr. Findley poffefTes a very happy talent. The students of the French language, likewise, afforded a pleasing specimen of pro ficiency in the pronunciation and grammati cal knowledge of that polite language, and did great credit to their inftrudtor Mr. Proal. And in a few succeeding days the exami nation of the Englifli school, taught by Mr. Dodd, gave fatisfn&iou to the gentlemen who were present. It is remarked, with pleasure, that this institution increafe3 in its refpeitability, and must be considered a real blessing to the com munity and a fruitful nursery of the arts and sciences. BERMUDA, Augult 12. Capt. Drake, of the fch'r Thetis, which arrived this week from Jamaica, informs us that on his departure from Jamaica, a ship arrived from England, after a short passage, which brought accounts of his .majesty's fri gate Popione, Sir John Borlafe Warren, commander, having been rose upon by the crew; that they confined all the officers be low, and fleered their course for Brest, but as flie got near the harbour's mouthj she was cut oft by two English frigates, retaken and sent immediately for England. We are also informed, from the fame quarter, that one of his majesty's armed fch'rs was run away with by the crew, late ly, and carried over to the French into the Bite of Leogane. That on her arrival there the French put the crew into prison, and sent word to the British commander at P. au Prince to fend for them, as they should all be given up, but that the vessel would be retained. The above disappointments will no doubt have a good effedt navy, and convince the seamen of the bad effects of their treachery. Thursday was launched from Mr. Nathan iel Tynes'Yard, his majesty's sloop of war the Driver. She is a vefi'el built on a faft failing plan, and bids fair to assist in scour ing the American coast of French privateers. .She is to join Adm. Vandeput's squadron, as soon as fitted, and will carry 16 twenty four pounders, carronades. August 19. Tucfday arrived hi 3 majesty's sloop of war Hunter, capt.

It is generally fuppofedthat the overtures of peace with Great-Britain will procure to Sir Sydney Smith, if -not his liberty, at Ifall fotae alleviation of ..his hard captivity. He continues in close Confinement in the fame tower which was occupied by Lous XVI. In the cotirfe of the lad audience which the Po'rtugufe ambaiTador had of Charle# Lacroix,,the latter gave a proof of igno rance, rather uncommon even at this time. After having threatened the ambaflador with a declaration of war, and with fending an army again ft Portugal, and finding that these threats made but a very flight impres sion on hrtri. he at last said in the utmost I ra ge—" We _ will fend our fleets againlt I you."—" What fleet ?" replied the ambafla . dor.

The ambassador, hav ing (hrewdly observed, that on discussing i fubje&s of this nature, it appeared to him extremely proper to consult a map, the I miniftcrfent for one, and found, to his ut ] mod confufion, that Portugal pofleffed no* part whatever in the Mediterranean. According to letters from Nimeghn, a part of the army of the North lately arrived in Dutch Gaelders, is now marching to the Texel. It is reported, that a considerable ( body of troqps is to be embarked there for the purpofe%f invading England, j June 19. j The Italians are now trulv deserving of j lioerty. The clubs are organized in Italy, : exactly as they were in France under the i blefled reign of terror. They have .their Jacobins, their Cordeliers, nay, their frater nal societies.

J " In proportion as the government be | comes weak, the audacity of faftion in creases. The difcoßtented are no longer fatisned with declaiming,, some in ' gilded halls, others in their ftnoky taverns. They nyift have clubs to combine their hopes and their animosities, and to double 1 by these combinations their chance of fuc -1 cess. Already four or five clubs are reck -1 oncd in Paris. The molt Celebrated are 1 those of Clichy, of Montmorency, and of the Palais Royal. I place them here in > the order of their dates, for Clichy has engendered the conftitiitiooal circle of Montmorenci, and Montmorenci has en gendered the clubs of the Palais Royal. " The firft, less dangerous in itfelf, is composed only of deputies, for ttye moll pan distinguished for their love of liberty, and their hatred to every species of tyranny. But if the past is a fuffieient pledge for the pacific intentions of these deputies, I will not the less venture to affirm that their club may in time become fatal to their country. The members of the constituent assembly, Glezen and his colleague Lanjuinas, whose 1 virtues are not disputed, were in 1789 the founders of the club' Breton, which after ' wards became so fatal to France under the I title of the Jac'obiit club. Heaven gtant that Clichy may not one day experience a metamorphosis no less terrible ! But mean • while its exiftcnce is still an (evil, since it i* " to it, that Ave are indebted for the formation of the club of Montmorenci.
