poffefTes the right to put the troops in mo
tlon, and to determine the mode in whicl
they shall be employed. But does it follow
that their muft never occup]
your attention, especially when it is tracec
to a point which the troops cannot pas:
without your authority ? The conftitutioi
gives the legislative body the right to re
quire information from the dire&ory. Tliii
information is intended to enlighten you'
committees entrnfted with the preparatior
of the laws. Upon what objeft more im
portant could you require information, thai
upon the march of the troops, and upor
the extraordinary events which have foi
some time taken place ? Nay more, the di
rkfkory had fharcd your fblicitude, and hac
solemnly promised to examine into the au
thor of the order, the name of whom you
had demanded. So far then there is a(per
feft agreement between the two powers.
Both united to investigate the cause of the
extraordinary movement which occasioned
general anxiety. How then does it happen
that to day a reprcfentative of the people
ventures to afTert, that you have violated
the constitution ? Doubtless you had vio
lated the constitution, if you had not view
ed with the mod serious attention the move
ments organized around you. No—by this
conduft you did not trench upon the power
/of the diredtory ; and thirf opinion, in which
you all agreed, naturally me to point
out the fyftctri which ha 3 been assiduously
pursued to counttraft the legislative power,
by extending uniformly, a.,d under uirery
pretext, the limits of the executive autho.
rJtjr. You are now accused of encroaching
upon its privileges. In the fame manner
were you told, that you had not the right
to /hut up the popular societies, to publish
a proclamation in order to demonstrate" to
the French people the parity of your inten
tions : to seek information now becomes ne-
Ceflary ; to hear reports; to require that
positive answers (hould be fubdituted to
communications completely evasive. To
trust the partisans of such a system, the le
gislative body would soon be reduced to
the impotence of only enacting laws. f Some
members laughed ; several voices, " Jt jbould
be so.") Allow me to finifh. Two efien
tial attributes characterize your pow -; you
enatt laws, but you retain the right of su
perintending their execution. In order to
exereife this Superintendence, you must in
vestigate ; you must hear reports, upon the
result of which you form your opinions
and prepare the laws, which it is your bu
' fmefs to introduce. Neither was I less
astonished to hear it said that this tribune
had refoundsd with accusations againftfome
of our generals. I call upon the whole
council to bear witness to the truth of what
lam about to aflert. Never has any speaker
omitted an opportunity of bestowing, with
in these walls, a just tribute of praise upon
our generous defenders, and upon their glo
rious chiefs. Recoiled that memorable day,
whert the preliminaries of peace were an
nounced. With what feufibility did he
who preSided on that occasion, declare that
the French armies, crowned with vjftory
and with peace, had deserved well of hu
manity. Tears Streamed from your eyes.
The delicate touches of the orator went to
your hearts ; it is true, my colleagues—
(a.general cry, " Yes, yes.")— Who has
rot pronounced with sentiments of affeftion
the illuftrioui name of the pacificator of
La Vendee ? Has that of the hero of I'.aly
ever been mentioned without exciting en
thusiasm ? Never within these walls did we
omit to pay homage to his great qualities ;
his humanity, even his moderation obtained
just apologists. Was it not here that the
firft tribute of thanks for his generous con
duct towards the ministers of religion exiled
from France, was Voted ? I know that
abuses which had crept into the account
of certain funds, which appear, to have
been diverted, were mentioned. But can
it be imagined that it ever enttred into our
minds to accuse our generals of these dila
pidations, to require from the man who
levelled the Austrian power, and discon
certed their military plans, a mechanical at
tention to the drynefs of financial calcula
tions ? No. We never conceived such an
idea. But what could be thought of us if
the delapidations of secondary agents,a thou
farid times denounced by the generals them
selves, did not engage our attention ? Be
cause dilapidations are committed in the
armies, must we Shut our eyes ? tiuft we o
vertKrow the constitutional system of ac
counts, and substitute an arbitrary diltribu
tion in the room of the regular administra
tion of the trcafury ? We have heard here
of some Strange power or other given to
your committee of infpedtors. Believe me,
representatives, in this refpeft you have done
no more than your duty. If no conspira
cies exilt, so much the better, my most ar
dent wiShes are accomplished. If they do,_
you have my GnceVe thanks ; you have
cheeked their progress, you have disconcert
ed their effeas by your wisdom and by your
firm moderation. Is it really neccfTary then
seriously to refute those who have no other
mode of blaming your conduit than by tel
ling you, " Impeach the direttory ?" Ate
those who employ this language ignorant
that such a system which they pretend is
constitutional, would be fubverfire of the
principles of bur representative government.
Opposition in our eyes, then must be uncon
stitutional. Look at our neighbours the
English, look at th« Americans : are you ig
norant that in their parliament and in their
senate, the ministerial power, and the royal
authority are attacked, are cenTured, and
that the censures of these authorities would
be their most Sirm fijpports, if instead of cen
sure it was meant to overthrow ? It may be
neceflary to censure what it would' be crim
inal to subvert. We have heard a great
deal also of the industry which calumny ex
erts to villify the republican institutions and
authorities. No authority, lam perfuad
td, is more the objeft of calumny at this '
moment than our own. But let a few wild j
demagogues, let a few Stupid anarchists mis- ;
represent tbefe opinions and accuse our in- '
- teiitioris—Of flrhat importance is it- ? Tj utl
1 is immoveable : It too is a power. Byth;
t light of its torch will the people of Franc<
r analyze your proceedin s, and judge ofyoui
I j conduit. It is fmd that the priests return
? : But the just and salutary law by which the\
i are recalled, was palled unanimously by the
- two councils. Can you then accuse your
> selves ? The emigrants returned I hear, 1
r confefs I can hardly restrain indignation, I

- of those returned, their language, their
i audacity. Do not the laws exilt ?Is it pof
l fible to imagine a power more extensive,
r more absolute, more monstrous than thai
- of the direftory with regard to emigrant'! i

NORFOLK, September 28.
By a gentleman pafitngrr in the Da»i/h (hip,
Chritlians Haven> Capt. Patrick Corran,
arrived yesterday in 43 days from Tene
riffe, we have received the following :
Defeat of the British at Tenerijfe.
On the morning of the 22d of July, the
town of Santa Cruz was alarmed at the ap--
pearance of 7 English Ihips lying off,' and
36 armed boats that ranged across the liar- '
bour. It feemefi evidently their witenrior
to have landed in town before day, but fc.il
ing in that attempt they returned to the (hip
ping. At 10 o'clock, about laoo men
were landed, and polled thentfelves upon th<
summit of a fecoud ridge of mountains jon
the N. E. while the Spaniards were Ration
ed on the firft ridge, which commanded the
entrance into the town by a narrow passage.
/Some trifling firing ensued without loss on
either fide. At night the English re-em
barked, and the ships ftood"!>ff and on until
the evening of the 24th, when all came to
anchor. A bomb ketch commenced a par
tial fire on a distant fort, by way of attract
ing the attention of the Spaniard*, which
was warmly returned. Between one and
two o'clock the town was alarmed by the
approach of boats, and the forts iuftantly
commenced . a heavy and incefiant fire on
them. The darkness of the night favored
the views of the English, and between 8 and
900 landed in two parties on each fide of
the castle. One small party of 50 men com
manded by adn #.l Nellon, and capt. Bow
en landed on the Mole ; the firft loft his
right arm, and immediately returned on
board. Capt. Bowen with most of his little
party was killed advancing to the charge.
The other party penetrated into the. town,
aflaulted the castle, were repulsed and at last
took refuge in a convent. Thither they
were pursued by the Spaniards, who by this
time had placed cannon in the ftreetsand a
venucs that led to it. The English finding
themselves ftirronnded on tvery fide, offi-;\;d
terras to at he general, in Which they propo
sed to march out, without cloing injury to
the town, upon condition of being delivered
the money in the pu v Uc treasury, and the
cargo of a Manilla (hip in the harbour, which
they erroneously supposed worth lo or k
millions. '
The Spanish general was fired wfth indig
nation at the proposal, and was about giv
ing the signal for massacre, when they sur
rendered upon condition of marching out
with their arms, alid not fcrving in any ex
pedition again# the Canary illands for 12
months. The loss of the Eiij'iiih was a
botn 100 killed and wounded on fhpj-j?, and
the officers supposed between Iyd and 200
drowned in a cutter that and from
theii boats in larfding. The: Spaniards un
der arms were 18-killed a.nd 30 wounded, 1
together with some private persons who:
were imprudently iiithe streets, among whom
was Mr. C. Roonev, an Irish gentleman,; i
known for his humanity to the diflreffed,'
and generous affiflanee and attention to fo
reigners who visit the island. .
The capitulation being signed and the
prisoners collefted on the Mole. The Spa- 1
nifh general caused bread w ine so be givi
en t*> Ofcry man, ordered every afisftance to
the wounded, and humanelv offered twiake
those under his care, who fhoiild.be thought
too ill to be carried on boa'd, : —He receiv
ed a very handsome letter from admiral Nel-.
son, in which was expressed unbounded
gratitude for his humanity, adding that he
would take thefirft opporfunity'of commu- 1
nicating it to his sovereign.
The Bvrtith officers very honorably de
clared that their 'intention was not to have'
kept pofTeffion of the island.had they taken
It, as they supposed that peace was at that
time concluded ; but only to require the
money in the tre alary, and the cargo of the
Manilla ihip. It was n«t unw.fonable in
their enemies to presume that as that requi
sition would not have amounted' to one-tenth
of the sum they expected, ft wtfiild have
been raised from their private property,
The persons who composed the expedi
tion were sailors, the crews of the different
vefTels.
The following are the (hips engaged in* this
expedition :
rr,, r f Vice A. Nelson,
Thefeu. 74 | Capt . Mffler.-
Culloden 74 Capt. Trowbridge.

Terpsichore 32 Bowen.
Fox, cutter 4 Lieut. Gibfon, with 10
pieces of artillery, funk by the fort, and
upwards of 100 men on board perished.
Yeflerday arrived the schooner Margaret -
ta, captain S. Barron. From a gentleman i
pafTenger we have received the following :
Extraft ps a letter from St. Bartholomews,
dat<d Augufl 29.
" A vefiel from Nevis informs us that
there is an embargo at St. Ivitt's, in con
feqnence of a plot having been found out
amongst the windward regiment of coloured
militia, to set that island in a state of in
furreftion, and to make themselves mailers
of Brimstone-Hill."
