" is protfiatlCT. Charon (hould e\?i!:tih hiaiieffas to the presence 0fi3,000 pen in his department, which not one foot soldier has entered, (the legion of France, which formed the advance guard of the eo lilMfj, did not pass le Chene le Poilleux.) The reft of the troops did not quit the li nked departments, in which they ftiil remain, " Finally, 1 demand of yen a tribunal, to the end that I may obtain for my bre thran'n arms and rayjelf, that just repara tion to which we ere entitled. I have been defcribtd as a seditious man : they have been treated' as brigands. Our accufevs ought to bring forward proof of our crimes, and not the bearfay of M. CWon, who wished that I (hould not pass through Rheims on my way to Cologne, notwithftWiiig there is no other road : they ought to bring proofs of tlicm by authentic and irrefraga ble documents. All those which I have signed are about to appear ; they are alrea dy in the press. If certain of the soldiery have teftiiied their indignation at the re ception tfiey met with on their returning to their homes, it will be seen that I had a smaller share in this, than those which were so much terrified by four regiments of chas seurs. " I have long possessed the esteem of the public, not in the way of certain revolution ary cut-throats, who are recognized as the chief agents of Louis XVIII. but in con fequerfce of having the pretenfionj of a roan of worth. This title I cannot be expe&ed to renounce,"for the fake of certain upstarts who are figuring for a moment on the revo lutionary scene, and who are as yet known merely by jnfignificant declamations, and plans to the utmost extent subversive of eve ry of good order and government. (Signed) «« L. ROCHE." M. Charon has replied to this demand, in such a manner as must, we think, embarrass the general. " My explanation," fays he, " (hall be clear, short, precise, and true j it 13 extra&ed from the deliberations of the central admini stration, transmitted to the.minister of war, ■ to the committee of infpeftors, to the trea sury, and in the journal of its proceedings of the i6tb July last. " Order of cantonmatt given by the ad jutant general. ' "At Vitry, 2000 light infantry of the 9th demi brigade. HAt Saint Menehould, 200 ditto Le gion des Francs. " At Chalons, 3000 ditto 99th de.tii brigade. " At Rheims, 5000 infantry of the line, 108 th demi brigade. " Altogether 10,200 men. •' To which are to be added four regi ments of chasseurs, commanded by general Ri?hepaufe, and the light infantry, and it is easy to find 13.000 men, as well infantry a* cavalry, part of which are yet in the depart ment either at Rheims, where there have been as many as 4000 men, as a letter from th4t place of the 2d inft. states, or else at St. Menehould and at Courtefdls, where there are yet two regiments of chasseurs. " Ought not the cireumftance of 13,000 men having received orders"for cantonment in a particular territory, though not all of them reaching it at the fame time, notwith standing preparations made for that purpose, to have alarmed the citizens and magistrates, particularly in a department which had been the viftim of every system of revolutionary taxation, and ought not the magistrates, in that cafe unable to defend themfclves, to have applied to a superior authority, and have prevented by their cares the dangers with which they were threatened ? " Neither the central adminiftrafion nor myfelf were capable of fufpedling any wrong from the defenders of the country, whose exploits it has more than once celebrated through my organ, nor of seeking to de prive them of the public esteem. Had we thought it poflible that some great attempt **was meditating, we (hould, jfcalous of ful filling our duty as citizens and magistrates, have employed those means which nature and the lav/s entrust us with, and recolledted that the constitutional afl which confides to ut the honorable and sacred prerogative of convoking the French people, in cafe of the dissolution of the legislative body, imposes on us the duty of securing them from tyran ny ; we (hould, if our efforts and our cries had been ineffectual, like the Roman feira' tora, exterminated in the streets of Rome, while fitting in their ivory chairs, have af forded our co.untrymen, thus threatened with (laverr, a last: example of our devotion to pur country, and of our refpeft to the na tional representation." Reply of the two united committees of the infpe&orr of the Kail, of the council of elders and five hundred, to the letter of citizen Raroel, commandant of the guard of the legislative body. " We do not stand in need, citizen col leagues, of the new affuranfces which you give us, in order to appreciate the disposi tions of the corps of grenadiers and their chiefs towards the legislative body. Men who have done so much for liberty, can never abandon it, and give way to fa&ions which seek to annihilate it, and with it the con stitution of the 3d year. If we had only this ftcurity it,would be fufficient ; but we have yet further testimonies, in the exiA difeipline which they preserve, and which we every day witness. The testimony which we are thus anxious of rendering them, we wi(h to propagate ; and we doubt not that it will destroy all the which can fubfiil; and that our colleagues will be as anxious to applaud this coudutt as •'our fclves." r ' [Signed by the members of the two com mittees.] PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 25.

By this day's Mail. 1 j NEW-YORK, O&ober jo. j Extraft of a letter from Niagara, dated September 29. j " The only news we have here, is the ■ sale of the Lands lying- on the .otht:r'fide of the river, to Mr. Morris, by the Senecas ; ; there arc about three millions of acres, out | of which they have retained 200,000 iri dif- j I ferent places—The terms we do not yet / know, as the Indians are not yet returned from the fale,which was effeited at Genefee. We may now expgdl to fee the other fide fettiing fall:; it is a very fine country, and j no doubt will fell in lots very high. " The Americans have appointed a new ! commanding officer here; since his arrival, the troops have been under arms every night tell for fear of the Indians—although thane are none nearer than eighty miles, being as quiet as ever in their villages, and fatisfied with both governments. Every body thinks it is merely a scheme, " to keep the mens' noses more to the grind-stone," as their times are nearly out; and the com mander, who is a Swiss, thinks they have had too idle a life." Great military and other preparations are making at the city of New-Brunfwick, for ' the reception and entertainment of the Pre sident of the United States, on his return to feat of government, who is to dine with the citizens of that place on Thursday the 9th of next month. The apparent return of health to our sister city, and the consequent ftfr among the j commercial citizens of that place at this lively season o'f the year, will not fail to prove a source of felicitation to the citizens at large, as well as highly advantageous to individuals whose exteufive maritime con cerns would render absence a serious incon venience. JiVednefday the 18th inft. the Festival of the Apostle and Evangelist St. Luke, was the day appointed for the consecration of the Rev. Abraham Jarvis, D. D. to the Epis copate of the (late of Conne&ieut. Died—On Friday last, Thomas Randal, Esq. in the 74th year of his age, after a long and painful illness. His remains were interred in the family-vault in the burial ground of Trinity Church, attended'by nu merous relations and friends, who lamented their loss, in this valuable citizen and ufeful .member of society. BOSTON, Oflober 24. By capt. Hawkes, in.4B days from Lif feon, we learn that Ad. Jarvis continued the blockade of Cadiz up to the time of his failing. We (hould imagine from eapt. Baker's requiring provKioiie in a very few days after failing irom Cadiz that the city mult be in conGderafcle tfiftrefs for food. Jarvis appears to be under no dread of a foriie from the Spanish embargoed fleet ; for he has very recently made a further detach ment from his squadron, to convoy the Spani(h prizes from Lisbon to England- CASUALTIES. On Saturday afternoon a Senior fell from tht forelop of the Jhip Packet, tying at the t ong wharf, <whither he hadgone to indulge himfelf with a nap. He received but little injury, but •was carried to the Aim's house to lodge till his complete recovery.

RICHMOND, (Virg.) O&ober 25. COMMUyJcA no N. LAW Intelligence. Yesterday was decided, in the Court of Appeals, the cafe of M'Call against Turn- j er ; in which the Judges gave au opinion u ; pon several points ; arid, among others, u pon the great question, whether interest be demandable-for the time of the revolution ary war, upon a bond, which was original ly due to a person, who was absent, during the war, in tire Britifb Dominions, and. which continued to be due to him. The ftntiments, then delivered by the Court, will bear the test of the fevrreft discussions, and did great honor to the judges, who fat in the cause. They concurred in jthe judg ment, that interest was not demandable for the period of the war. | It is a great blefling tb'our country, that Mr. Pendleton, has paffeil h!s seventy ' fifth year, still njarjifefts the fame perfpicu- I ity, vigour of mind, comprehension and 1 power of argument, for which he has al ways been distinguished. Long may he, and his illustrious fellow-labourer in juris prudence, Wythe, be exceptions, as they' now are, to the supposition, contained in the constitution of New-York, that after the age of sixty-years, no man can be fit for a feat on a judicial benah.

Mr. Finno, In reading the histories of tdifcoveries, we observe not only the virtues and talents, but likewise the vices that are attendant up on human nature. Few authors can bene fit mankind without perfetufion, and at tempts of the basest kind to destroy their well deserved reputation have been, the ge neral consequence. Envy pursues merit as the shadow follows the substance. Such con«lil£t to those "who deserve oor warmest | gratitude, places the human chartider in the worst point of view. Dr. Hervey, by the discovery of the circulation of the blood, laid the foundation for the. most u'feful improvements in medical science. Few of his cotemporaiies, whom age had rivctted to their prejudices, comprehended or believed it ; and it was reserved for the younger part of the profeffion to propagate a doftrin?, which, without any farther proofs of its truth, is now perceived instan taneously by every fludent of medicine. The force of education and of dulnefs were bayicrs not only to the advancement of this truth, but were fufficitntly powerful to deprive this generous benefatlor of tiearly all his praftice. Envy however flopped not here ; for when his cotemporarics were obliged to adopt the opinion, they attempt ed to tSrnifh his reputation by ascribing the discovery to some French* physician, and some even gave the merit to the venerable Hippocrates.—Such is the power of truth, and such are the fubterfuges of the envious. The idea of being ufeful to mankind sup ported D. Hervey under the prefTure of persecution and poverty, and he trusted that an unprejudiced and benefited posterity wiuld do him justice. They could not obviate the penury that the excrcife of his talents brought upon him, but have consi dered him as extlufively entitled to the merit of difeoveripg the circulation of the blood. They have condemned Jtis persecutors ; but, upon a similar occasion, hive imitated their example. Dr. Rush has introduced into p'raftice, in this city* calomel and bleeding in bilious complaints, and has difeovered the efficacy of salivation in triumphing oyer them. H® to ° has received a large share of persecution ; and envy, forced into the eon viftion of the propriety of these remedies, is now attempt Trig to throw a shade. over his charadter; but the benefited cities, his country, and alt posterity, will eventually do him justice. Hervey and Sydenham, Descartes and Galileo, have each'fhared his fate. Malice and ignorance have thought him an objedl wortTiy'bf persecution. It is to be-hoped, however, that the aspersions of a few will not pre vert him from prose cuting his enquiries, and that his talents .will still be employed in the service of man kind. An OBSERVER.

Yesterday arrived the (Jiip Canton, Coffin, Isle of France, 98 days. A ship under Danilh colours, supposed to be the Republican, from Bremen, took a pilot on board yesterday to the Southward of the bar. * Capt. Coffin informs, that the Isle of France appeared to be in perfeft tranquil lity,. and the slaves under the' ftrifteft sub ordination j that the produce of the colo nies was exceedingly high, and American produce as low in proportion ; that many American vessels have touched there from Bmirdeaux, and proceeded on to Bangal. Nine French frigates and fifteen privateers, were out upon the different coasts of India cruising against the English,■ and a number of valuable prizes taken by them were daily arriving. Good accounts were, received at the Isle of France of an English squadron, to the number of eight or ten ships, fitting in Madras roads, for some secret expedition reported to be destined against Manilla; but the French seemed to mistrust, that their intention was to pay them a visit; they talk ed lightly of it, as they thought their Island proof against the whole naval force that the English had in the East-Indies. They see med to be under some apprehension for their sister colony of Bourbon. The generality of the people appeared to be quite arifto cratical in their principles, and talked very loud against the present government of France, without the least refervS as to time or place. ( They pay great refpedt co the American flag ; and the government, in its dealings, behaved very honorably. Paper money was depreciated to a very low ebb, but there appeared to be plenty of coin in circulation. They had heard from Europe that Ahe governments of France and Ameri ca laboured under some mifundcrftanding, which they seemed much to regret. There was news circulating and generally credited, that the English in India were at war with some of the country powers. A number of French vessels were daily arriving fromßata via with rice. . A Danffh company ship had arrived from Canton, dismasted ; and a Da nish ship was standing trial, supposed *0 be English property. Captain Coffin left in the Isle of France, two brigs fipm Salem, and one bark, all bound to Bengal. Tie ships Belifariue and Ocean had failed about ten days for the fame plate. Left at Bourbon, ship Nancy, of New- York, captain Butler, bound to Batavia. Came passenger in the Canton, captain John Boyd, of Boston. , g3- Uuiverfity of Pennsylvania OSober 27, 1797.
