niy own inclinations, . ierv pnflible admit
tance and information has been given to
those citizens who have visited the Worts

tho Cor.traftor for the Enpines, that the
workmen should not be interrupted. Asa
very few months will fully gratify the cu
riolity of the citizens, by shewing them the
Engines in full operation, a temporary ex

The D.irbi-ts continue their ravages in the

protected by the Koyalifts, and niaiT.icre the

In the fifing of the " Legislative Com

24th, November, the central ad'nini(lr>tions
of Yenne and Ch 11 rente, the judges of the
civil tribunal ofKieur and Olfe, the citizens
ot the comiruce of Laon, felicitated the
commiflion on the triumph of Buonaparte.
The commiflion approved the resolution of
yrfterday, which opens to the minister of the

the conftitutioH to be received by the people
without prelenting it to the Legidative Bo

pre lent councils in order to tlhblilh councils
conformable to the new conflitution. We

THEATRE.
La ft evening, was performed to a very
fafhionable audience, another new thingfrom
the 1- acious pen of the old lilummatus.
As the Play B.lli told us that the produc
tion had been revised, and adapted to tne
American stage, we expected to have tound
it pruned at least of cosny highly exception
able pnrts which nevertheless were all repeat
! e d. Indeed, it is difficult to diicern any ap
pearance of what we hope mull yet be deem
ed an adaptation to the American stage. A
scantling of the Ftench Revolution is, in
deed, introduced, in that scene where a rab
ble of foveieign citizens is afiembled, tor the
ptirpofe of murdering the Governor, and a
"little Child, mid where their orators ha
rangue them from the head et hogftiead.
If it is meant that this part of the buiinefs
fliould be considered as adapted to the Ame
rican stage and of course ht-ld up lor an ex
ample. then, I think they had better given us
the play as it came from the hands of Kot
zebue, without insulting us with this xilapta
i lion. The piece is ?rouded with inveftive
against Priests, with the crimes of nobility,
and common place declamation against War ;
and is as highly fraught with the tenets of
the School of Weifh»upt as any proamnion
that has heietofore invaded us from this vile
source.
TALEYRAND.
Citizen Talleyrand has lately diiplayed
at Paris, trait of duplicity and fnrjfe. On
the 23d, there appeared in a journal, under
the immediate direftion of 1 alhyrand, the
following paragraph and letter :
" Citizen Talleyrand, sincerely affli&ed
at finding the name of citizen Joiry inclu
ded in the lilt of those who were affefted
by the decree of th« 26th Bruraaite, has
just written to the minilter of the police a
letter which breathes the purest and mod
delicate sentiment."
Of Citizen Talleyrand, to the Minister of the
" I hnvt read, Citizen Minister, with
much anxiety, the name of Jorry in the
lift of those sentenced to banifhraent. Jor
ry is a very young man, whose errors are
more entitled to indulgence, than deserving
of rigourous treatment. He is now in the
service of the republic in the army oi Italy.
Perhaps evan at this moment, when the
operation of the law extends to him, it is
anticipated by the blow of the enemy. Per
haps his name is honoured by the wounds
he may have received, or by a patriotic
death.
"It is encumbent on me to add, that
Jsrry having, as far as I know, offended
none but myfelf, I think I have peculiar
right to offer these observations to your
notice ; and, I confefs, that feeling the ut
most desire to have the offence forgotten by
all the world, as it is by me, I shall receive
as a personal favour the exception which I
now solicit, and which I entreat you to re
quell of the Consuls of the republic.
This letter, which bears every mark of
candour, was written when Talleyrand was
acquainted with the death of of Jorry ! ! 1

Extratl of a letter from col. Hawkins, agent
of the United States for Indian Affairs,
to Governor Jackson. dated Cowetah Tal

his threat against the officers of the United

my r a , rra "S cmeHts to punish' all thieves and
mifchief makers. We have punished in an
exemplary manner the leader of the banditti,
who insulted the cemmiffioners of Spain and
the Lnited States, on the I7 th of Sept
he was cropped, whipped, and his property
deltroyed, and three of his affocmes whip
