Extract of a letter /rem Paris, April 9.
" Yesterday evening we learnt Gen. Jour

bi only the Ccnifecjuence of the existing Laws,
and a mean* of carrying "hem into execution,
malevolence will not let this opportunity ef
«ape, of circulating the report, that a new
Requisition is about to be raised, on account
of the dangers of the Common wealth.-We
are anxious to destroy this falfe report, by
observing, that the Government confines it
fclf to pressing the departure of those for th«
army who ought, long ago, to have been
there, and have no legal exemptions. At
the fame time, in order to convey »n exaft

The following Fxtrnß from Cayenne, vMt
sent 14 ' ty a gentleman of this city, for pub-
lication
Extrad of a Letter, d^ted
Cayenne -pr'il 16, 'O9.
' About three month, firice, some mono
polars had it rumoured here, that the Brit
ish had taken the Dutch set lemcnf'of Suri
nam ; and on the frivolc us pretence that they
would certainly carry off from Sinnamary
the only two remaining members of the
French Ltgiflature, these .were ordered
immediately to Cayenne, 75 milts distant
from Sinnamary; and though in a molt de
plorable condition, after a fix months fickr
Hefs, they were f reed to perform the jour
ney on foot, hurried on by five armed, men.
—They crawled through deep lands, expos
ed either to the intense heat of the tropical
fun, or heavy rains; after two months of
painful alternative between flow convaleiceri
cy, and, relapse into f>ang|r.ous crisis, they
fecmed at last to bd in a fair way of recove
ry ; when dreading their being sent back
to such ati unwhplefome place as Sinnamary,
they pre fentcd a petition to: the agent of the
f)ir<ftory, for leave to (lay at Cayenne—
they had h'ttle doubt but that it would be
granted, as MarboiV had been previously
promised it by tha agent. They had alrea
dy found lodgings and a per on that would
be refpor'fible for thenvj. theyh§d bought
furniture to replace that which ihey had
fold at a great loss at Sinnamary; but at
the very moment they were preparing to go
to their new pla.ee of they - eceived
orders to pay immediately their licfpital ex
pences, and to embark for Sinnamary within
?n hour's time, in an open boat; where they
lay the whole nxpjht exp:>fe;d to the surge.
When they landed at Sinnamary, Marbois
was sb ill that his life was delpaired of. The
cause of their druel treatment is no other,
than their having ended their petition by
these words—" Nous avojns I'honneur dt
vous faluer ;" in (lead of" Sa/ui and Rtf
ptS »•" and because they had mentioned
their detention. Marbois was in hopes at
lead to find at Sinnamary, th* peace and reft
enjoyed in the grave:. But a few days ago,
some aimed men and a ferjeaot with djpawn
swords, came to his house, and carried off
all his papers of every fort, without his be
irg able to obtain either an inventory of
them, or their laeing put under seal. No
doubt the diftrainere have been disappointed;
for nothing can be found to hurt Marbois,
j who devotes his whole time, now, as he eter
j did, to study."

It has bceii remarked of Frenchman., that
their attachment to country is less ealily o
verc#mc than that of mo ft other people :
The ingenious Editor of the Wrgenries Ga
zette, fatisfaftorily aacounts for it, by attri
buting the predominance of this passion, in
the breaf! of a Frenchman, to the contempt
in which he is ever)- where elie held.
IT is a melancholy, but undoubted fa&,
that no nation has ever become great or
powerful, which neglected to cultivate, toe
military art. A nation may indeed, grow
rich and remain so fur a time, without war,
but no nation can long preserve its riches,
without engaging in wars, and evincing by
its courage, that it can defend with its blood,-
what it has known bom to acquire by its en
terprise and industry.
The United States canrtot exped to be
permitted, by a special disposition of Pro
vidence to accumulate wealth and enjoy liber
ty, without giving the usual proofs that
they are a people who deserve the one, and
can defendloth. Let our citicens'refleft up
on their happy situation, and what appears
to be the order of things in the affairs of
nations, and be always prepared to engage
in war, and finish it successfully. The mil
itary art, like all other arts, is only v \e
preserved by pra&ice. It may be loft by
diiufein the United States, as it has been in
other countries, and such loss, dram: after it
the same consequences. Vegetius complain
ed, " that the idleness of a long peace, had
abolirtird the praftice of the military ejccr
cifes, and that no one could be found in his
time*, who could teach the art of war, or
the.military principles of the old Romans."
Loans end taxes may be complained of, by
the factious and discontented politician, an'l

some slender symptoms of returning recel

A Friend alked me, whither it ivas pos~
stile for-a person v>bt> approved of the con
duct of the French government, and toisbed
ibem suctcss in their undertakings, to be a
good christian ?
• I told him, that howfver painful it was
to answer the question in-the negative, I
thought inyfelf in duty bound to declare,
that I believed he could not ; inafrouch as it
was a government founded ifi Deism, or a
diftulief of all revelation—the rulers and
philosophers of that nation, di'fc«rded the re
ligion, we were taught from scripture to
venerate—in no one act of their public pro
ceedings or detail of events, did we hear
them acknowledge the jxiftence of a divine
being, or the fuperintendar.ee of his provi
dence. They had long since changed the
original groundupon which they set out, and
were purfuinga system of plunder, devaita
tion, blood (hed, and universal dominion.—
Hence the man who professed christianity,
and was a well-wisher to such do£lrines and
praiflice, rmifl at least be considered as acting
very inconfillentlyffif not participating in
the crimes above mention'd.
In a word,. Jtjr. Ferrno, the rage is so
great among our jacobin christians, in fa
vour of the French nation, t+iat they even
endeavor to explain the ancient prophecies in
such manner as to prove that eveiy thing it
has done, and is doing, is' warranted by
scripture. One of them faida few daysfince
" that no facrifice was too great to accom
plifti the overthrow of all the governments
in the world, that were not after the French
model."
I admire our form of government, and be
lieve it' the mod suitable for the American
people,, becaule the people arefuitedfor the
government ; but I diffef very much in
opinion with many of the Democrats, btfth
in France and America w,ho teem to think
that the people of every country are capable
of maintaining the republican form. Thev
are for cobbling up governments on their
own model, without cpnlkleving whether or
not, the people are fit for them. There is
fbmethirig in habit, and much in knowledge,
virtue, and modes of education. One truth
these men seem to have 101 l light of altoge
ther, that religion i,s the befl bond of loci
ety ! ak 4Jue/i/caX.
IT is, at all times, a very definable ;
thing that the people ihculd be \vell acquaint- .
ed with the political, as well as moral char
acter of thole to whom they mean to confide
the direftion of their public concerns. And '
perhaps, at no period whktever, was this en
quiry more particularly neceflary than at the
pref'ent, when the people are called upon
to 'decide on the fitnels of one of two char
afters offered as candidates to fill the execu
tive chair. The perlbn to he elected tp fill
this high and important flatten, ought not
only to be a firm republican in principl., but
also, as a pledge of security to the pt.ople, to
have a jurt claim to confiflency in political
conduct. He ought not to be guided by the
whim or caprice of popular prejudice, or pc
pillar clamor, which are too generally excit
ed, by dcfigning men, for party purposes s
nor change from fide to hde as may appear
mod likely to promote his private views,
but (hould pursue a line of conduit bottom
ed on well digelted principles, and uninflu
enced by party spirit, or private advantage.
Hot* far chief juflice M'Kean is a republi
can in 'principle, and what claim he may
have on the confidence of those who now
support him, on the ground of consistency,
appears by the minntes as the convention,
which formed' ou v date constitution. In
that Convention he moved that our date len»
ators (beuld be chosen by a number of elec*
tor? equal to twice the number of represen
tatives, inltead of the people at large. In
that convention he seconded a motion for
'fuhftituting six years (the term for which a
fenatcr fliould be choien) in lieu of- four. ,
And in that convention he alio moved that'
no person (liould be a senator unltfs he ILould
he seized, in fee simple, at the time of his
ckftioncf five hundJ-eJ acre» of land within
this commonwealth, of poflefied of real or
