With her, we fncerely hope, will expire the rage of revo lution, the horrors of war, and that rapacious and murderous system of abule which has stained the four quarters of the globe with human gore. Perhaps the page of hi/lory cannot exhibit so detestable a pi&ure of the depravity of human uaturc, as has been delineated in France, (iocethe commencement of the pre sent revolution. The mod solemn treaties have been violated,national honor treated with contempt, and every species of excels com mitted on the lives and property of those who have, unhappily, been fubjedted to their power. The tear of sensibility has darted from ten thousand <fyes,~ and the feebltf-pray eis ol the widow and the orphan have ascend ed to heaven, in judgment against the inhu. man policy of this barbarous nition. £J. Russell's Oaz.J It will be remembered, that the Board of Commiflioners on British claims, fitting at Philadelphia, ceased their funftions without going through the business—since which, the Commiflioners on American claims, fit ting in London, have also dilcontinued their business. While we regret this difference between two friendly powers, we cannot think, but that an accommodation will fpeed jiy take place. It lhould be the policy, as it is vinqueftionably the interest of both na tions, to be just and magnanimous to each other. [ji. •A letter'from Thomas Auldp.
