TRIBUTE OF RESPECT. The melancholy fare of the firft PrincHy Hand which was ftrerched forth to relive America i»i the hour of her distress, being now alcer tained, we hear that the commit toe who super intended the Ox Procession, have reqnefted that the Head and Hoi as of that Vi£lim which are now placed on the flag-ftaff at Liberty-Square, (houid be put in mourning this morning, with the colouis h4lf ftaff high : and that at five o'clock in the afternoon, the flag ftafF be cut down, dropped in the dock, and with the head and horns, be there buried—as an evidence of the truth of that assertion of the patriotic Paine, in the French National Convention —That the free Americans consider themselves indebted to LOUIS Jor their Liberty-"-and that the news of his execu tion has given them great pain. Mr. Paine has done himfelf great honor in his } verdtfr on the fate of LOUIS the XVI. and has therein expreflcd the sentiments of nine-tenths of The People oj the United States ', who, with the liveliest emot on of pain and legret, lament the untimely end of their friend and deliverer. •' ■ » WORCESTER, April 4. The death of the unfortunate Louis XVI. "will probably draw upon the French Republic the resentment of some Kingdoms, which, had it not been for that event, would have remained in a state of neutrality ; so that it is hardly to be doubted that Euiope will be involved in a general and very bloody War this summer.— But, although the benevolent mind cannot but be deeply affe&ed with the misfortunes of a man whoever wished to merit the character of the Father and Friend of his people ; yet it is tar from being desirable that despotic power should prrvail against the cause of Freedom; and it must still be hoped, that the 4 French nation will be able to efta\>lifh a form of government which will effe&ually secure the lights of man. STOCKBKIDGE (Mass.) April 2. The accounts refpetting the murder of Louis XVI. appear to be so well attested, that humanity has not one cheating ray of hope to enliven a probability that the intelli gence is founded in error. The cruel an<i un just affajjinauon of the late unfortunate Mo narch, mufr ltamp indelible infamy on the tranfa&ions of that ferocious party who, at prelent, (way a many-headed monster of power in the Gallic Nation—while history records the unjust and bloody deed, an ir.dignant pos terity will execrate the authors of it, to the latest period of time. Those vehicles of abnfe in our own country, which are conftant'v em ployed in reviling the American Government, and aspersing the chara&ers of its ablest sup porters, its real and only friends, have alrea dy began to croak their applause on tin? occa sion, and to echo the huzzas of the " cut throats" of Paris, at the melancholy exit of Loiis— To steel the heart against every generous and humane feeling—to bar the avenue to pity itfelf, the crimes of despotism and tyranny, are, by them, attached to the chara<ster of our late good ally and friend—The exercise of hereditary power was by btrch allotted to the monarch, but a tyrannical use of it was never laid to his charge, till party vengeance deprived him of that freedom whose birth he cherished—'till malignant fury exiled him from the sweets of domestic life, and limited the sphere of his liberty, to the confines of a prison yard. 1 n the firft ft ages of the Ftench Revolution, Louis avowed himfelf a friend to liberty—and, at his positive command, the Nobles aud Bishops were incorporated with the reprefentativesof the people, one Aflem bly—'Tis tru«, at a dark period, when it fee rued the determination of a violent party to facrifice nlmoft moderate man, »|. nioft every owner of extensive poifelFrons, Louis was persuaded seek fafety by flight -—this fee in? to be the only material charge supported against him on his late trial, where his Judges were his ficcufers. But it will be remembered, that at that period, many of the promoters of liberty, Tome of the moil cele brated Gallic patriots, thought their only fafety confided in a voluntary exile from their native country. The late French King un doubtedly had faults, but they were such as gratitude ought to have consigned to oblivion, in confideratioti of the mnft important ser vices rendered to his country in the cause of freedom—and to the candid and unpreju diced, who view ohjefts not through the me dium of paflioo and party, his death must ap pear a facrifice to the dilates of savage, un relent ng barbarism, notwithttanding the ap pianfe bestowed upon his alTaffins, by the de tainers and flandcrers of our own free and b*PP>' government.

The nfe of that power which they have entruftcd to their rulers, has been fiich aj to afford high OtUfa&iou to the majority of tlia citizeni of the American .Republic, although a set of un principled slanderers, have made the Govern ment, its operations, and the officers adtiug under it, the themes of their defamatory abule, from its commencement to the prelent day—The views of this Government defam ing cabal, seem extended only to the promo tion of anarchy and confufion—every blow aimed at real good order and rational liberty, is trumpeted by them as a deed of patriotism —every falfe construction of the true intent and meaning of the laws, and every essay to mislead the uninformed mind, is celebrated with all the pomp and parade of levelling eloquence —While on the other hand, tbofc who are friendly to the administration of a wife, free, energetic government, are ftiled the abettors of delpotiim, favourers of absolute, uncon trouled power, and charged with a design of forging yokes for necks of freemen.—Even the humane regret which has been expreflVd for the unmerited, undeserved fate of Louis XVI. is declared criminal, while the bloOd feeking dagger of the a (Tallin, is denominated the sword of regenerating, French freedom— Pretended astonishment is exprefcfed that Ame ricans can regret the fate of a Tyrant—the fate of a Tyrant is nor the fubjecfc of regret but the misfortunes of a Monarch whose heart was ever foftened at the fight.of misery, and whose good intentions for the welfare of his people were once the theme of their univer sal applatife, and whose interference in their favor in a day of political darkness and gloom, surely demands one generous sigh, one. MANLY TEAR. But astonishment and horror may both be justly excited, when a Marat, a Roberfpierre, and a Thwiot* can find applauders in this, or in any other civilized country. Yet the source from whence it springs, will undoubt edly ifTue new encomiums on the conduct bf Philip Equality,f and dub him as the firft of pa triots, for his.late violation of eyery feeling that does honor to the human heart—and if so, may we not rationally conclude, that to obtain the praises of zvh>Jkry-men t atTting in op position to the laws of our country, neither fathers, brothers, or sons, would escape the lafli of the vilest abuse, even if they ftiould not be fubje&ed to the power ofafTaffms.— Time will operate convittion—and the com munity at length be enabled (if they are not already) to distinguish between the friends of well regulated liberty, order and justice, and the abettors of tumult, anarchy and confufion —the former will be rewarded with addi tional confidence, and the latter meet the contempt and scorn they richly merit. * Threejuriousanarchijls, and members of the French Convention. + Formerly Duke of Orleans, and Uncle to the late French King.

For ti GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES. r ocean has been always infected by A certain ominous birds, known to the American sailors by the name of Mother Ca -ley s Chickens. Previous to a storm, they often fur round a ship, with the molt discor dant accents, chattering, screaming, scolding and singing. 11l weather and ill luck always follow. The itonteft seamen are terrified at their appearance, and no one dares to climb the fin ouds, or even to handle a rope, while they continue around the ship. Not Dav*y the demon of the waters, infpiresmore terror than these boding chatterers. The horror and detestation with which they are viewed, has hitherto prevented an accurate investigation of their shape, size, and nature. But we are informed that a certain great mo dern philosopher and politician, has latelv got a small brood of them into his pofleflion.' He finds they are of the fame species as the Par rot, and are readily taught to utter any arti culate founds, which they will repeat with incessant chattering—though he is not yet able to discover, whether thev have a)iy com. prehenf.on of the meaning. He also finds that they poltefs the power of divination in a greater degree than the holy Chickens which were preserved with such attention by the College of Augurs, in antient Rome.—We understand that he means speedily to publish an accurate defci iption of these extraordi nary animals, together with a volume of the oracles they have uttered, while in his coop, which he as far superior to the Sibylline oraclcs, or to auy of the antient pro phecies once revered, but now happily ex ploded by modern philosophy.

In the mean time, the public may receive some further light on the fubjeft, from the following ixtraa oj a httrditcd on hoard the Federal Ship, in the Latitude uj Philadelphia " Dea* StR, " Lift night, as we were going on under an easy fail, after mod of the crew were turned in, we were all at once alarmed by a most horrid nniftf, and found ourselves furrotinded by Mother Carey's Chickens. While the fonnds we'e diftaor, they refemblid the notes of a Jack-Aft, who bad learned to imitate the tunes «f a Caterwaulinj—but as they ap 363 proached nearer, we were astonished to hear a variety of articulate founds, repeated with as much rapidity as the speeches of King Gtorge.Vn Peter Pjndar—Amidit all the confu fion, we could distinguish the words—" Aris tocrat! Aristocrat I Hell of Monarchy ! Salh and Ribband ! Apollyon son of Belial ! Trea sury Blood-Tucker ! Light out of Chaos ! Poor Soldier ! Liberty and Equality ! Down with the Prefklent ! Down with the Aristocrats ! &rc." Our crew turned out with the utmost confternaticn—fome crept under the hatches; one of the officers proposed to fire all the can non in the Ihip—but he was aflured by the old Teamen, that these birds were sacred to the furies, and that our instant deftru&ion would be the consequence of any hostile attack. Jemmy Turncoat ran below deck with a hatchet, in a fit of delirium, and would have fcuttlcd the Ihip, if he had not been prevented by his comrades. Qthers walked up and down the deck, wringing their hands, and making the nioft doleful speeches imaginable.— But the Captain and most of the officers con tinued firm and steady—-it was agreed that we ihould lie too and wait the event. The Chickens growing bolder, advanced to the fides of the (hip. One of them exclaimed, that he was a member of the honorable order of the Goose, lately instituted in honor of the Goole who saved the Capitol, and that he was to be placed as a guard in the Federal City— he displayed two feathers in lus tail, as the insignia of his office. Another alighted on the bow-sprit, and began to address us in a set speech, as follows :—" Arrah by my Jhoul t Citi zens andCiUjfes"—But having a tpuch of the brogue, he made such horrid work in pro nouncing the words Citizen and Citefles, that even they who were most terrified, could not refrain from laughing. One clapping his wings at the fonthward of the ship, warbled out an hymn to Pocahontas, the tutelary Saint of Virginia, who presided at the Federal Elettion. One being mounted on the main -mail-, ftuig in mournful notes the death and apotheosis of Peter Pendulum—after which he announced himfelfas King killer General, and affirmed that Paine and Petion acted solely by his ini'piration. At length, at a given signal, they all rose on the wing, and went off tinging Lillibullero in concert, leaving behind, like the harpies, a most terrible stench, and our decks all covered with their ordure. We have ever since had dangerous weather, and there is every appearance of a storm from the south. We trust, however, to be able to weather the squall, aiid (b God fend the good ship to her destined port. Your's, &c.'' The publisher of the foregoing letter adds, that in his opinion, these ill-boding Chickens are the fame creatures as the Grccian Har pifc% whom they resemble completely in man ners, habits, and the prophetic spirit.
