JOHN HALLO WELL, See'ry; 7HE TTRANNT OF DEMOCRATS llss become proverbial evfery where : but it is in At.xrica that it has dared to break forth with peculiar virulence and malignity. Not content with persecuting pAtriolifm, virtue, aod every species of orthodoxy, in every shape, it is here that it has, witji the mod aba.iduncd malevolence, organized it f»'lf into a regular corps for purposes of persecution ; and it is here that whoever at any time can muder up hardihood enough to walk uprightly, .mud previously fortify h<mfdf againfi all the moftdefperate assaults from batteries manned by the united force of the whole horde of ruffian-looking de mocrats. In this course they have but too long, and it mtid be confeffed, but too fuccefs fully perfevcred. The time is come when an united effort of all friends to rational liberty to cry ft this formidable hydra, is loudly caft-d for by every tie which allies the mind of man to poffeflions, without which life is of no eflimation. In pursuit of this abominable and mod abandoned career, every principle of honor and every tie that ever has been held sacred, have been facrificed and set at nought. Distinguished merit, the mod didinguifhed and mod difintereiled services, indead of being a proteftion, have served as fignal marks for tile dircftion of their attacks— and in the general chafe, good qualities taqmfelves have been alike hunted down , with their possessors. But, when a brother has chanced to be glanced at, in repelling with the weapons of felf-defence, their malignant and affaflin like assaults, the whole nest of vipers is indantly set in motion, and " profccute liim, break him up, cut him in pieces," is the general cry. Tyranny, thjr name is Jacobinism. 1 Francis I. of France, became the scan dal of Chridendom, for concluding an alli ance with Sojyman, the Magnificent, Em peror of the Tarks. But the butchering fans-cilllotes who have murdered his de fendants, can fraternize with the bearded disciples of Mahomet, without fuffering the flighted imputation. For, in faft, such is the reverie of things, the shame and dis grace now lies wholly on the fide of the Turk. The Turks are in truth pretty ex pert murderers ; but their skill is seldom exercised out of the finall fuch as lopping off the grand vizier's head on the loss of a battle, and fo-forth. They have hitherto fuffered mui lcr—But if the ruth less Gaul is once let in atr.ongft them, they will be faught higher lejfons even than that of Ifmailow. From the NEIV-YORK GAZETTE. CONCLUSION " Of the Hi/lory of the conspiracy of Louis Ph 1 l 1 p pe-Jos e phd'Orlean s, fir named Egalite, page 229 of vol. Third Tranflatedfor this Gazette. "If there is* a fpeftacle worthy of being profoundly meditated, it is that Nvhich em pires offer at the moment of their fall,— These great bodies have not,, any more than individuals the privileges of immortality.— All here below is fubjeft to change—to dis solution—to death ; the Deity »!one is un changeable.- One nation is born, grows Up, raises itfelf to a/ great height," then falls and perishes : this is,the circle, traced by the finger of the Almighty to societies of men. Among the multitude of nations who have by turns covered this globe, there are foitie, whose names even are swallowed up by time, " But it is impofllble to the legislator to preserve his inductions from the ravages of time, it out of the power of the maders of the world, to give to the great family whose prefervatiqn is confided to them, a high degree of fortune, to give it even the duration of the world. There are ( in efFeft remedies for all difeafiJ of the body-politic ; it is a regimen which, in cnertrfmg its drength, in nu'.rrifhiiig'its health, prolongs its life, and in finding it out, coafills foltly the art of governing. , '• To out th'.i regimen, we mud a bovtr all examine study her leffous, enrich ourfclvcSTiy the Apevience.of pad a ges, draw wisdom from the,errors of gene rations-which have passed away, and in con templating those horrid causes which break the foeial ties, learn to preserve the people from the convulsions of anarchy. It is in this refpeft that hidory, according to the -ex pression of Cicero, if the light of truth and the rule oflife. " We are going to read the causes which have dedroyed a monarchy, which fourteen ages had fixed on a basis that was thought immoveable. This phenomenou happened in a ftort space of time, from a train of e vents the mod intereding, and which have succeeded each other with such rabidity that the eye cannot without, difficulty follow them Shall the p:3ure of these events be loft to pnjlerity f Is the hidory of the: late di faders of France only a vague tS'efiry of government which every one may cenfiire or approve ? Are the truths which it presents, only abftraft political maxims, which the statesman is forced to ahandon because they have for foundation the Jiumari puflions, which vary eternally ? No, it is a generati on calling around herfelf all generations, and by a sincere avowal of her errors and her crime .5, points out to them the path they . ought to take,not to lose thcrnfelves in the a - byfs of anarchy. To make this voice heard, I have 110 need- of giving up myfelf to my senses—to abound in reaTonhigs. Prin ciples discover themselves easily when fafts speak, and 011 the which I have writ ten, all red on fadls. The aftors who have appeared on the Theatre, have pulled off their rr.afks ; we can read the mod secret thoughts of their fouls ; we can follow with , the eye all the windings of their hearts.— On this Theatre man appears not as he is painted by writers of by poets and by philosophers, but as he fliews himfelf na ked and undi'fguifed, where his weakness is deprived of the double support of laws, hu man and divine. What mpre proper to re cal to his mind what he owes to his fellow creatures, to his fellow-citizens, to the maf tet of the nniverfs, than the fiiameful i mage of this nakedness ? What course of morality is more edimable than a faithful re cital, where all the illusions on the true in tereds of societies, of their chiefs, of their members, are dissipated, where we may fee every species of pafiian afloat, aft without cortdraint—overturn thedronged barriers— break down objefts in appearance insur mountable. " You, who read this hidoi-y, in whatever age heaven has given, or may give you birth, forget not that he who wrote it, was a wit ness of the events therein recited ; he was the contemporary of those men, who, some through wickedness, others through impru dence, engendered or precipitated those e vents ; he lived with some of the workmen of the dissolution of the fined empire of Eu rope ; he read their confcienccs as easily as he did hii own; he knows all the empoisoned sources from whence flowed so many scour ges. It was on the wrecß of this unhappy country, in the midd of carnage, of blood and of deadjsodies, in the noise of the groans cf innocence, and of the hideous roarings of executioners, that he sketched these pages. He is ignorant of the epoch when he may be permitted to publish them, terror dill chills our fouls, and the name only of this liberty of the press, which a lying philoso pher so long complained againd, only to ap propriate it to himfelf, frightens anew those whom it is very necessary to enlighten. The time when this book wis written, is a fuf ficieat proof of its authenticity." , " If the author of this work has escaped so many dangers, if he has outlived so many victims, the price of so miraculous a preserva tion, shall not be a cowardly abandonment of principles, the return of which in France can alone indemnify her for her innumerable losses. He proteds theD, thit in devoting himfelf to write the hidory of the crimes of Orleans and his accomplices, he had no other view, no other ambition,than to convince men of every age and of every country, that we ought (as isjudly said by a great politician) to regard as infamous and detestable those who diflroy religion, who overturn kingdoms and republics, who male war again/l virtue againfh letters, and againjl all those ufeful ads, which reflet} honor on the human race.

VIENNA, July 26. On the 24-th instant, about nine in the morning, the marquis de Gallo arrived here, and immediately after repaired to Engendorf where he had a long conference with the emperor. On his return to this city, he went to the minyter of ftato, baron Thugut, with whom he had another long conference. It was remarkedthat neither the marquisnor the perfone. about the Court had very plea sant countenanced. The negociations for pesce in Italy meet with great difficulties in their further progress. \ The Freneh requite that Mantua (hall be united with the Cifilpine republic, though it was iftipulated in the preliminaries, that the city (hould be restored to Austria. On the part of the French, it is said, on the other hand, that the emperor having given his confent'to the establishment of a new Re publia in Italy, its very existence depended on having Mantua for a frontier fortref*; the Emper&r, therefore, mult tacitly accede to the crffion of Mantua, for which he re ceives a fufficicnt indemnification inlftria and Dalmatia, As thele and many other difficulties have arisen and the House of Austria cannot be expt&ed eaiily to abandon its great interests in we are not without our fears that hostilities may again recommence.

MILAN, Jvly 18. Since the Cisalpine republic has been pro claimed, the Government at Florence has taken every precaution against the partizans of revolutionary principles. The Grand Duke has raised a body of i2,0r0 men, who will be sent to the frontfers of the neighbour hood democratized Provinces; and if is said that theTufcan towns on the fide ofMode na and Bologna will be more strongly for tified. At Genoa the Doge has renouneed his former title, and is now only called citizen president of the Provisional Government.— The public is no longer styled the republic of Genoa, but the Ligitrian Republic; Lig uria being the ancient name of the country. The archbishop likewise has already intro duced the appellation of Ugurian'republic into the liturgy. July 22.» Buonaparte is still here, and it is fuppo f«d will not go to Udine, as we had a report *hat the peace was finally concluded there on the 14th by general Clarke: but the truth of this is greatly doubted. (And with rea son, as the Vienna gazette of the 26th of July makes no mention afit—Note of Ham burgh Editor.) v The province of Romagna was on the 12th united to the Cisalpine republic, on the motion of citizen Belmonti of Rimigi. Another conspiracy lias been discovered at Roine, which was to have been carried into execution in the night between the Bth apd the 9th instant. Two of the conspira tors were promised indemnity on condition of making discoveries. Many persons have in consequence been arretted. The discontents of Naples incresf-. It is said that the French envoy, Canclaux, will soon leave that city. His firft Secretary of Legation, Trouve, is not cordially received at Court. He is known to have been form erly editor of the Moniteur. ITAL T, July 22. The King of Naples hat ejhiblijhed maga zines cn the frontiers of the Papal territory for an army of 50,000 men. The brother of General Buonaparte is soon expecicd as French Envoy at Rome. The health of the pope mends daily. It is believed that a part of the French Ital ian army will soon march for France. General Majfena, it is said, will in a short time go to Paris. A great part of the troops at Milan have left that city. The frontier towns of Piedmont, Tortona, Cuneo and Alexandria, have been placed by the French on a war ejlab lilhment.—Mantua and Palma Nuava, which lie on the other fide of the Cisalpine republic, I have lihevafe been more fortified. At Brescia, all the artillery has been carried away j but the Auflrians have not yet entered the town. \ The bank of Venice now pay again as before. FRANKFORT, July 29.

The Fete of the icth of August was very ! gay and splendid, and the greatest order prevailed throughout. The races were ad mirably managed, and the concourse of peo- i pie drawn together at the Champ de Mars was immense. We have already announced the arrival of citizen Vifcounti of Milan, as miqfiler ple nipotentiary from the Cisalpine republic to that of trance.' In confequente, citizen ■ Sopranzi, who, on the entry of the French ! army into Italy, was sent by the people of : Lombardy to treat with the Dire&ory rela tive to their being formed into a republic, is preparing to quit France. He has been j named in his own country, member of the I council of elders. An address of the invalids to the army of \ Italy appears in the Journal dis Hommes j Libres. It begins thus : " We too comrades, have been struck 1 with the truth of the piclure which you have 1 drawn of the present situation of the repub i ' !C * - . / " What! (have we cried) so many great and generous facrifices ! What ! five years of the most glorious viftories, of the molt j rapid success, and the most honourable tri- j umphs, have still left them some hopes of! giving us a master. Friends !it is but I too true, and we shudder at it : the govern- ' meht has been vilified. Even within the | walls of the legislative bedy, the emigrant, ' unpunished rekindles the of civil war, ' and supported by the impostor and rebel- [ lious priest, (hakes around him the torch of fanaticifm. The defenders of the country, the old patriots, and founders of the repub- ! lie, are driven from their homes, proscribed, degraded and maflacred. The generous friend of his country, who took up arms for the defence of property, now infirm rind mutilated, pines in the most frightful indi gence without the means of existence, with out pay, and crushed by the insolent luxury of the unpunished stock-jobber. The pur chaser of national lands is looked upon as ari usurper, the sacred principles of liberty and equality-called robbery ; the philosopher, and whoever is not a catholic, marked out 1 as impious and an atheist ; the name of citi zen even become an affront ; in short, from the North to the South of France every thing presents a distressing fpe&acle of a de solated Country." It concludes thus—" Our brave brethren of the north, Italy, the Rhine, Sambre and Meufe, rely upon us. Comrades ! we have still strength and blood enough, and more courage than is necessary, to humble thde cowardly supporters of tyranny. Should they dare to take up arms in order to exe cute their plans Norfhall it be said that 600,c00 soldiers, the conquerors of all Europe, joined to their friends and relations, and forming the purest mass of the French people, have expressed an ineff e&ual vow to live free or to die." (Signed by more than 3000 invalids.) The following letter has been sent to the editor of the Sentinelle, from Leborgne, deputy for St. Domingo to the legisla tive body. " Bayonne, Aug. 5. " To escape from the Englifli, and get out of the prison, are two pleaftires I have iften experienced ; but now I feel them in a more lively manner, as I am drawing near my family nnrd friends. In short, four of us have arrived this day from St. Domingo, being the deputies of that colony to the le gislative body. Vergniaud, coufin-german,' to the great and good Vergniaud, is of the number. His zeal and moderation tvill re mind you of the virtues of his illustrious re lation. We have left St. Domingo in a happy situation, and nevertheless capable of improvement. I can give you no details on that fubpsft, but must defer them to my ar rival at Paris.—The courier is setting out." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. EX CUTIVF. DIRECTORY. Celebration of the Tenth of August. The following is the speech of Carrot, President of the Directory : " Frenchmen, "On this day, five years ago, the thun der fell upon the throne. Its splendor was extinguished, its foundations /battered tmd annihilated. But a fingL' lustrum has elaps ed fmce this great epoch ; yet, such has been'the rapid succession of events, that al ready we are feparfttcd from it by ages. M During this short interval, what mem orable events have crowded after each other ! what triumphs ! what tragic scenes ! what combinations of sublimity, and of wenknefs ! how many prejudices overthrown ! what great talents have, been cut off ! what efforts combined to destroy infant liberty ! how many billows broken against the national will ! how many base arts employed to ex tinguish the republic ! how many vipers cru flied in her giant arms ! "Woe be to those who fhoul3 conceive the idea of re-establishing the thrrtne ! What absurdity to believe tbat those who crushed it to afhtps, will labour for its re-eftablifii ment—that the founders of the republic, forgetting their glory, and plunging them-, (elves into the mire, will become the vile in struments of a liberticidal faction, which will eonfign them to the collefled rage of i those vvb.o w;lh. to Jear them ju pieces! " Where if the man among you, Hi -ten#, Wiio, it not actively co-operated iti ijie over throw of monarchy, has not decidedly pro claimed within his own circle the imprescrip tible rights of the people ? Where is the man who can submit-to bargain with kings • who, having vanquished them in the merid ian of their power, will humble . llimfelf be fore them when they arj conquered ? " No > Frenchmen ! you will not forget what it has colt you to be free—you will not rifle the fame catastrophes, or confcquen ces still more dreadful, again s tohe-fla.ves. " Ah ! should the abvfs irito which the madmen who consider the return of royalty as an bbje6t offport, endeavour to plunge you. Have they reflefted tipon the punish ment which is prepared a* their reward ? Do they know how much blood would b? required to quench the thirst of the barbar ous matters whom they recal—what harraff ing forfeitures would be necessary to fatisfy their avarice—what degree of oppr fßon would be Sufficient to render them secure from the dread of a uew effort of the peo ple—what cares would appear to them-ade quatc to extinguifn the last sparks of that philosophy to which they ascribe the firft impulse of the French to liberty ? " They would persuade you, that it is ea sy to substitute the hereditary government to the conltitutional system ; and they never speak either of the deadly war which the just refiftanceof the desperate republicans would produce in/a thousand quarters, or of the difficulty of re-cftabhihiftg that inequali ty of conditions and those feudal inftitutrons which constitute the bails of monarchy, or the difficulty of wresting the national prop erty from the hands of thole who have ac quired it under the fan&ion of the laws, or of the fangiiinary conteil which would arise between the competitors. Who. does not fee that a whole age would hardly finifh the single dispute between the Dynaftien contending for the crown ? Who. does not fee that a king could be delivered from his disquietudes when he hid /hed the last drop of the blood of Frenchmen ? Should you have filled any employment in the repubKc, you would be proscribed. Had you flown to th< 'rentiers to defend it, you would bf piof-ji V. Did y OU pofTefs any talent,you wouf ibe proscribed. Should you have pur chafcd a national estate, you would be pro* Ccribed—you and your children. iYeg! you would allperiih, except thole immersed in absolute ignorance, who would be referr ed.to cultivate the foil of their lord, under the iron rod.' " To obtain your pardon from the new tyrant, in vain would you produce the proof of some base service* secretly performed in favour of the monarchy, and of your tresrh ery towards the republic : you would die with greater ignominy. Yourfperfonal ene mies would soon difcovf crimes to lay to your charge—others would be eager to de nounce you in order to save themselves Such, at every time, and in every country has been the cruel policy of exiled kings, who, by means of baseness and hypocrisy, havefucceeded, themselves or their descend-> ants, in recovering the throne. Can you hope that you would experience them less revengeful or more humane ? " Yes! we swear liy the sacred deposit which the constitution has for a limited time entrulted to our care, every attempt to overthrow the republic shall be in vain ;«nd those who endeavour to accompli(h' this purpdfe of iniquity, shall meet that death which they prepared for the republicansi The chief magistrates of the republic may differ in opinion as to some of the means by whicji its liability is to be promoted* but they will ever be found united in its defence. " They will do more, and will exert themselves daily to love it better. They know that war is the weapon of despots ; that ljve and confidence alone are the in fhuments of. popular governments. " Agitation will cease, when men cease to disquiet themselves by the apprehenfioitg of royalty—others by the menaces and threats of anarchy. Peace will be realized when the enemies of the republic shall be convinced, that they will find no point of support among us—when each of us shall be thoroughly fatisfied that the happiness of the people consists in the extinction of all parties—that they are desirous to eflab lifh tranquillity—that they are tired of be ing the dupes of the pafiions, and the vain promises of the faftion;, by whom they have been alternately misled. The people compare their situation to what it was twen ty months ago ; they feel h,ow much it is improved ; they feel that it will be still far ther meliorated, when the ideas, which have been almofl entirely absorbed, which, to fay no worse, are unreasonable, are at length exclusively applied to the means of internal prosperity and political economy. From this they conclude that the constitu tion, Wiiich difpenfcs such benefits, is good, and become wife by their own fuflcrin<rv they respect the government which they have chosen : they defpifc, "they hate those who would lead them to tear their vitals with their own hands. " Cease then, Frenchmen, to pursue Chimeras. Let this day, the «.)f that day on which the republic was founded, diflipate vain alarms ! Feel, a« yon behold its splendor, that you ara under the fame banners—that you defend a com mon enufe—tliat none of vou have auv mercy to expert from those whole tyranny you have overthrown. Do not resign youi felves to difeprd, when you only to enjoy the fruits of your labours and the greatness of your defliny.'?
