Paris—General PichegAi was completely sick of travelling in a wagg6n, before his em 'barkation at Rechfort. He thought it hard that as he had once led an army, he (hould now travel as part of the baggage. The fate of the French generals is rather hard. After running, for a (hort time, A very brilliant careef, they are either banithed, prifeaed, or difmifled. It is the property of tyrants to become suspicious of their a gents. Accounts from Manheim mention a dread ful accident during th/military evolutions performed before the archduke Charles, near Schwetzingen, on the 20th ult. when, notwithftading the precautions taken, thir ty-fix privates and an officer were taken to the hospital with little hopes of recovery. The Imperial army at present encamped in Carniola, Frioul, Carinthia, and Tyrol, consists of 109 battallions, 68 detached com panies, and 96 of cavalry. The artillery of reserve forms a park of 137 pieces of cannon. It is a fa& not generally known, that the fatal ball which (hattered the arm of the brave Sir H.

The Adamant and fliip Chatham are arrived here with L'Unite frigate, and the lark is hourly expefted. The Ameri can (hip is also said to be retaken. The captains of the Antigua and Albion are ar rived here in the privateer, but their vessels have not been retaken, though there is a probability that it may yet be the cafe, as the Phaeton is gone in pursuit of them. The (hip Chatham has loft nearly all her fails in a gale of wind, and all her crew aflPfaid to have died on the passage, except the captain mate and two seamen. Arrived also the f:ip Sarah, captain Til/lone, from the We:l- I n dies." It appears from the following extraft of a letter from Alderney, of the date of 30, thit the French have not- yet abandoned the wild and chimerical idea of inva.ding this ; country or Ireland, and that a new expedi ; tion is fitting out at Brest for that purpose., j We have little anxiety refpefting the result of such an attempt : " We are_ at this moment well guarded.

From 'jur Char 'ejlon Correfpundrnt. Charleston, Nov. 21. 1797. A most daring plot has been discovered within this week, —a number of French ne groes, had entered into a conspiracy, and were preparing ficerrr* ofmaflacreand/laugh ter, fimilac to tfaofe which ravaged the Cap*. Happily for our citizens, the plot was dis covered before it had time to mature, and we are thus rescued from scenes of havoc and distress at which human nature shudders. Two of the ringleaders were executed this day, and a number of others are in confine ment. The witnesses brought forward a gainst these fellows were clear in their cri mination, and the \rh»le plot has been laid open to our view. Chriftwas day was fixed upon for thom to commence their bloody work—The magazines were to be'blown up, and parties stationed at each of the church doors to massacre the citizens as they came out. They chose that day for beirtg best calculated to answer their hellish purpose*; as they supposed that almost every person would be in some one of the churches ; and thus unarmed, or unprepared, fall an easy facrifice to their bloody dffigns. By firiig the town in different parts they would have created confufion, and men, women and children would have been massacred' without the pofiibility «f resistance. The discovery of this bufrnefs, «va« as fal lows ; two mulattoyoung fellows belonging to a French gentleman by the name of La Bvter having overheard so much of the con verfatioft of the two»fellowt executed this day [Jean Louis, belonging to Mr. Robi net the cooper, and Figaro, belonging to Messrs. Frink and Langftaff] as led thcoa to apprehend another St. Domingo affair, earnestly solicited their master to lepe this country ; he, however, paid no at tention to their request ; but a (hort time after oic of these young men was so licited to join the conspirators with th« of fer of the command of a company. He im mediately communicated ihis to his master, who advised him to pretend to give into their schemes, and thus draw forth a com munication of the whole plot. This he did, and Mr. La Berter giving information to the intendant, 15 of the conspirators were arretted—two of them were condemned to be hung—three to be transported, and the remainder were remanded for further exam ination.— Every thing is quiet at prifent— The citizens mount guard nightly as a m;a fure of precaution ; but no apprehtnfions are entertained of any difturbancea.

That monarchy which isconftituted by the free ihoice of d nation, is a legitimate go vernment. That republic which is erefted by force, despotism. That monarchy which governs hy"Jixed laws, enafted by the will ps a nation, is a free government. That republic, which is not governed hyfixed laws, or whose consti tuted authorities can violate the laws with impunity, is an arbitrary, tyrannical gov ernment. Ehthtifiafts are governed by names and imaginary theories. An Enthufialt <n a le giflativc body is as dangerous as a madman. Give me a republic, l3ys the enthusiast, and lam fatisfied. Give me a free govern ment, fays the sober rational (latefman, and I am fatisfied. A republic I will have, fays the demo cratical maniac. If my fellow citizens will submit to my will and choice, and live under ft lieu of the a v?public, very well ; if not, I will mile tliem submit. Every man who does not think as I do, is a traitor—and death or banifhaient awaits him. Says the rational citizen, I prefer a re public ; but the will or choice of a majority :nf my fellow citizens must decide what form of government is- most proper for the society 50 which I belong-. To that will I submit, because it is the only legitimate source of power. A monarchy or arillocracy found ed by that will, is a lawful government—a republic not founded on that will, is ttfurpa tion. 111 government as in religion men wrangle about names and forms. Whether men ar; pagans, mahometans or christians, would be of 110 to civil society, if one feft would let the other alone ; nor is it a matt er of any moment, what is the form of government over a nation, provided it is es tablished by eh'/tce. In religion, all men have to do, is to let each other alone. In government the nation (hoiild be free to cboofe, and whatever form is cho'fcn, the ehoice (hould be acquiesced in. HALIFAX, (N. C.) November, 27. Extradt of a letter from Raleigh, dated November 21. " Yesterday the General Afiembly met. The Senate made choice of Gen. E. Smith as speaker ; the House of Commoiiirballot ed for a speaker last evening, and the votes between M. Matthews,Efq. andjohn Skin ner, Esq. were equal—consequently no ap pointment was made—This morning there was another balloting, when Mr. Matthews was elefted by a majority of four." Much business of a very interclling nature will come before Congress, and will proba bly be difeuffed with great warmth :—The depredations made upon our commerce,with the other effects of our neutrality, and our fituicion between hottile nations, will cer tainly form th« bafisof principal regard.— The jealous prying eyes of Europe will watch our motions. The present situation of our legillature and executive officers is delicate—lt is aw ful : The Congress of 1776 had scarcely less depending on them .• —Firmness, calm ness, accurate examination of fafts before resolving, and derision in executing their resolutions, are at all times necessary in rulers but have ever been more so than at the jre fent moment.
