In Sir George Staunton's excellent hif
toiy of Lord Macartney's embafly to Chi
na, we are told that there is 110 silver coin
in that empire, notwithstanding payments
are made with that metal in masses of about
ten ounces, having the form of the crucible
they were refined in, with the {lamp of a
■ffingle charafter denoting their weight. Its
value, in currency, rifts and falls according
to its relative scarcity or plenty ifTued from
the Imperial treafnry. Spanifli dollars are
curreut throughout every part of Asia.
.Gold is made use of in articles of dress or
luxury, but seldom applied to the purposes

The constitutional Bishop of Contance.in
France, is so devoid of wordly goods, that

LONDON, Oft. 5.
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. Nelson, likewise wounded his
son-in-law, lieut. Nefbitt, in his left arm,
who was (landing by him : notwithstanding
which, he heroically took out his handker
chief and tied up the wound of his noble re
lative, and after by the means of his right
hand, threw him over his (houlder, and car
ried him on shore. Sir H. Nelson being
very diminutiveinftatHre, rendered the brave
aft more easy.
We understand the of the admiral

son of lady Nelson by a former husband, to
the. rank of master and commander.
Extraft of a letter from Plymouth, Oft. 2.
«The French privateer L'lndien, was
taken on Sunday the 24th ult. within a few
hours fail of Bourdeaux, by and
Phaeton frigates, which (hips have also re
captured the Adamant, and (hip and barque
Chatham. 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.

PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11.
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.

NEW-YORK, December 6.
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.
