PHILADELPHIA,
MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 15
There is every reafcn to doubt the infor-
mation contained in our Gazette of Saturday,
refpefting the pretended disasters of the king
of Naples. We find that a similar report
prevailed in Paris, and was even published in
the Gazettes of the Pentarchs with all the
air of authenticity, so far back as the 20th
December. In this cafe, the expulsion of the
Neapolitans from Rome, is said to have been
effe&edby.the Sansculotte General Macdon
ald. According to the ntanuscripticcount of
' the St. Lucar captain, it was Championet,
V.ho worked the miracles therein related.
It is very possible that M'Donald may have
gained feme advantage over the detachment
under the Prince, who had made a division
towards Civita Vecchia and Ancona : This
the drooping Directors would naturally mag
nify. But that the grand army, animated
by the presence of the King, and under the
condutt of one of the ablest Austrian gene
rals, slushed by the capture of imperial Rome,
k could bend to the pressure of any force that
France could bring against it, is,not at all
probable. The Neapolitans are decidedly
the best troops of Italy, and have never fail
ed, when well commanded, to make a con
spicuous figure.
The state of things in France, from the
murder of the unfortunate monarch, to the
present hour, is very truly exprefled in the
following paffagt from Boile&u, adapted by
the author of The Pursuits of Literature.
'< Dechiraru a I'cr.vie leur propre Ripublique
Liorn contre Lions, pirens contre parens,
Comhattent follement pour le choix des ty
rans."
The superiority of a good man over a vil
lain is never more difccrnible than in times
of embarraflment br danger. The one is
upheld through extremity by the mens
conscia recti: animated by the belief that
he deserves no evils, he is proud to confide
ttiat evil will affoil him in vain. " Not so
the ungodly." When danger is abroad, the
•worm that gnaws within, continually re
minds him that his visitation may be at
hand, that it can never come untimely, and
that it cannot fall too severe.
Of all the various species of democrats,
your cream-vifaged, foiling gentry, are the
nioft detestable. Those pleasant, jocose,
good-humored democrats who are u the best
of companyinvariably poflefs on near in
fpeftion, the heart of Robespierre along
with the visage of Carrier. Such a fellow
is a fit agent to employ a pettifogging under
devil to entrap an Hercules, or for any other
aft of meanness, baseness and cowardice.

GEN'S ORIS.
Every person who has attended to the state
and progress of the French revolution,
through its different stages, must have observ
ed the alraoft continual existence of three
diftinft paaties, down to the murder of the
king ; from which time, I consider them as
all united and interested in one common vi#w.
While these three parties laded, the patriots
were continually betrayed into the hands of
the revolutionize is, hy counting on the me
dium men, whoincefTantly threw their weight
into the adverse t'calc. It is precisely so with
us : Between the friends to government and
the adherents of France, a numerous body
of men, are led from varifius causes to steer
a middle course—As at the conflux of two
eddying currents, the floating chaff is borne
in revolution round a narrow and abfliadled
circle, waiting the predominance of one or
other, so they, wavering, stand aloof from
surrounding fhife, now facrificing in secret
at the Ihrine of federalifm, now in private
worshipping some Democratic idol, as the
Daemon which is to devour them. " Me
dium iter tutissimus ibts," is their Alcoran,
their sole rule of conduit, and fc.le standard
of moral and political orthodoxy. But in
these cales, the maxim is a delu'five one,
and like the chaff between conflicting cur
rents, they will early be engulphed in the
vortex which tl'.efe create.
The Democratic papers have fufprided
their abuse of our naval officers, who have
recently diflinguifhed tbemfelves by making
captures from the enemy, in order to abet
the sovereign people who have lifen a la
Franfaise in the northern parts if this ft ate.
How absurd is it, to talk of a French fa&ion
in America ! these people have the fame com
mon obje«ft in view with us—aiming only to
; come at it by different means. This is so
clear, that none but the mod uncandid can
believe in the cxiflence of French influence
in America.

The (Hvner of a Goat, which had been
trefpafling for tome time, went to a magis
trate to inform against himfelf, and de fired
to know his fine, whicli was half a dollar.
Having paid his forfeit, he observed to the
magistrate, that he had on: thing further to
mention,—a perfcn (wham he named) had
since (hot his goat in the street. The de
stroyer ot the Goat, was of course immedi
ately filled twenty shillings, for a breach of
the ordinance.
In the House of Representatives of Penn
fylvama, a Hill designating taxable property
being under conlideration, a federal member
observed that asses were not mentioned in
the bill, and moved to amend it, by inserting
the word asses. This met with violent op
position from the democratic fide of the
house. A sailor in the Lobby said to his
messmate, " Why d-mn my eyes Jack, d'ye
fee, dog wont eat dog."
Capt. Elliot, with a company of Artiller

is probable that he will there join the detach

thence proceed to Ealton,the county town of
Northampton.

Resolved, That we the fubferibers, of

our meeting affords, to express our abhor

ted by certain evil difpoled peri'ons against
the tranquility and happiness of our country
—and weconceive it an indispensable duty,
at this moment of alarm, to repeat the de
claration of our ardent and inviolable attach
ment to the constitution, laws and govern
ment of the United States—to renew the
covenant which as citizens we have entered
entered into, with the community and with
each other, to maintain the authority of the
laws, and pledge our honor, as foldiep,
that we will encounter every hazard to en
force their fanftion.
Resolved, That we will exert all our in
fluence with our fellow citizens to fruftrate
the vile and boasted diplomatic skill of any
foreign enemy, and the still baser an<! more
detestable intentions of a domeftiq faftion a

From a Paris paper of November 11.
Department of the Ardi.be
ar.J the Upper Loire.
**The ex-marquis of Surville, commander
for the pretender in the south of France, and
whose arreftation were lately announced, was
condemned to the pujwfliment of death, on
the 17th Vendemairc, by the military com
mifiion fitting at Puy.
The conspirator was no wavs terrified by
the prefrnce of his judges. He persisted in
declaring ti.v.t his name not Surville,
but Dulard. 1-e thought that this obflinate
denial ot his name would tend to intimidate
the v.-itneffes agninft him. But his person
was too identified to encotirage the
hope that a borrowed natne .would lave him
from conviction, either by witness or judges:
he was unanimously recognized as the ex
marquis of Surville. 'Being thus diverted
ot all hope, diflimiilatioii gave place to truth,
and he immediately avowed hinifelf to be
the marquis of Surville, adding the follow
ing exprcflions:
If you had not been so anxious for my
speedy oeftruttion, and I could have had a
CQnterence with Barras, I should have ma'de
a discovery which would have astonished all
France. You, gentleman, tell the public,
if sou pk-afe, that I do not die lik» a trea
cherous brother, but that I die for nty king.
I have been finceje., and I die in defending
my cause. I acknowledge that I ain not
able to conceive why I did not succeed in
my enterprize. I had more thaw thirty de
partments at my command, and several of
the constituted authorities—-It must be con
cluded that Providence has been hostile to
the fuceefs of my projefts."
. Having made this short declaration, he
requested pen, ink and paper, to write a last
adieu to his spouse. This letier, which is
deeply fraught with the inoft ientimental elo
quence, has, anions; ethers, these words—
" To-morrow, my dear friend, a baptism of
blood will waft; away all the stains of my
life." He then addrefied the following letter
to his beloved nioft Christian Majesty, recom
menr'ing to him the Jailor of Puy :
jHE,
" I am about to die for the glory of the
French name, and for the auguft-cavift ot
your most Christian Majeftv. J entrust thele
lines to the keeper of the prison of Puy,
from whence I am to proceed to execution ;
he will convince your majesty of the impossi
bility of'my trani'mitting another communi
cation. This man has not been deflitute of
regard far me ; and he has promised, that he
will treat with tenderness all who may be in
my situation. It is on this account that I
entreat in his favor the clemency and atten
tion of your majesty. Deign, Sire, to accept
the mofl refpe£tful homage of the mod faith
ful of your servants, and to forsjjve the inef
ficacy of the efforts which he has made to
prove him fell'worthy of,the confidence with
which your majesty has condescended to ho
nor liini.
I am,
With the refpeft,
Sire,
Your mod Christian ».fajefty's
Most humble & obecl't servant
The Marquis of Surville.
The moment which was to terminate his
existence being arrived, he walked forth to
meet his fWte with all the courage which roy
al tanaticiim had so deeply infufed into hia
mind, accompanied by a Constitutional

The Subscriber respectfully offers to tht Pub
lic, proposals for a Newspaper, under the
title of the Constitutional Gazette ; and
Republican Courier.
IT is intended to be published three times a
week in the city bf Philadelphia ; viz. on
every Monday, Wertncfday and Friday evening.
The fuMcriptjon will b«five dollars p.-r annum,
half to he paid by lublcribers in the city wUen
called for. The difficulty of colle-fting small
sums in the country, renders it neceflary to a$C
the fublcription, iu: 1 f the city, to b.- paid in
advance, or th.e name of a person in Philadel
phia who will pay them regularly.
Although the proposed Newipaper will lie
of a iVnaller size than the unhandy Iheets
generally in use, it will contain as much as the
generality of the daily G.zettes. It is expeft
edthat a very small portion of it will be occu
pied by advertisements, which willl occasion an
unusual quantity of intelligence and informa
tion. It will be pubiifhsd in the quarto form,
and rsgularly paged, to render it convenient
for binding in volumes, to each of which an
Index will be attempted.
The principles intended to be supported, are
those of the Federal and State Confiitutions-.
The friends of the tranquillity, peace and hap
piness of this country, may rely on a calm, de

publican codes. The Editor is unwilling to
make large promises, but he allures his friends
and the public, that he hat ground to rely on
important literary and political contributions
