    other. The fight of flags, banners,
Sec. of -embroidered (ilk floating in the
air, was grand beyond the power of
language to deCcribe. The Emperor
tvas not present. All the people kneel
ed, and bowed nine times with as much
folero.iity as if they had been woilhip
ing the Deity. This ceremony over,
they were conveyed through other
jx'-ks and lodge®, the gardens laid out
in much the fame manner as in England
—they were sumptuously entertained in
one of thufe building*, and afterwards
carried through some magnificent pago
das, or temples. One of them was
than the buildings of .Somerlet
bo-.ife, but higher, and in the fime
l'quare form, open within the Iquare, in '
the center of which was a buiidrtig of
considerable hfighth, covered with so
lid gold. The inside front of the fqmre
is in the foim of galleries, one over the
other, in four rows, most splendidly. de
corated, and fitpported with pillars of
gold. In some of the apartments hun
dreds of prieits were employed in linging.
The images of deities, Sic. inthefe buil
dings are aim ill innumerable and itfany
of them of" gigantic size, larger tliari
Gog and Magog at Guildhall. They
are however, of the fame materials, wood
richly gilt and ornamented, numbers of
them symbolical representations. In
many of the religious ceremonies a resem
blance of the Jsvviih rites was obfervea
tte, others were timilar to those of the
Romanics.
0" the 18th, "they were admitted to
the Emperor's Theatre. It is a square
open at top —The stage extends along
one fide of the square, and those who
are hounuced with admillian to fee the
peitormancea are placed under piazza*
in the other three fides. In front #f
the tkage, about fifty feet diltant, is the
throne from which the emperor views
the pe::jrmaacc. The reft of the area
is ornamented with beautiful flowerpots.
Lord Macartney was led to the throne
and received from the Emperor's hands
? copy of vcrit-s made by himfelf so; his
Britawiii Majclty, in a box of great
value and antiquity, made of black wood
carved very neatly. The Ambaflador
bad also the honour to receive a copy
of verses for hiinfelf. Here th ■ suite
was heartily tired for several hours with
a performance one word of which they
could uot undoiftand, and which was
accompanied with a confufed noifeof
gongs and bells! after which as was
usual every day, they received presents
of til Its, fans, china, Jcc.
The next two days were employed in
making preparations for their return to
Pckin, where they arrived on the i6tii. —
On their journey tlkey-were mucil lurprized
to find a great number of men employed
in levelling the road, (or the acceiiiodati
on of the Emperor on his return from
Oehol, which lit was to quit in a few
days. The vhole road, a lpace of 150
miles, was covered with men, about 60
feet asunder, and a cittern of water for
each man, for watering the road on the
Emperor's approach, so that the number of
men and of ci/lerns must have exceeded
sj.oco. The road for the Emperor is as
finooth and level as any walk in the gar
dens at Kew ; r.o perlon is allowed to ride
or travel upon it, and it is guarded night
and day.
On the 30th the Embafly set out forthe
Falace of Yeu-Ming-Yueu, whither all
the presents had been sent that the Empe
ror might fee them together. They reli
ed that night at Hing-Min-Yuen, and set
out next morning to a house about four
miles distant, from whence they walked a
little way and met the Emperor; who
learning from the principal Mandarine
who attended the EmbaiTy, that Lord
Macartney was indisposed, desired that
hij Lordftiip might return to Pekin forthe
fake of better accomodation. They re
turned the fame day, and indeed it would
appear, that theChinefe by this time wifli
ed their departure altogether ; far Lord
Macartney had an interview with the mini
llers the fame day, in the course of which
they recommended to him to take the be
nefit of the good weather for his departure
as he would travel uncomfortably it he al
lowed the winter to over take him ; the
more especially as he was but p 'orly in
health.
From this time none of the Mifliooaries,
ot whom there are a number in the coun
try, were allowed to go near our country
men ; and the attendant Mandarines, un
der pretence of friendfhip, strongly urged
them to propole departing, as a change of
treatment might not be found quite plea
sant. It lhoti'.d be remarked that by this
time kll the presents had been delivered.
On thejd of September, Lord RJacartr
nty the ministers a number of
proposals and requifitims refpetfing the ob-
KCtof his million. His Lordlhip had in
tended lUyiog yU March, but it was now
thought advisable to take the hint that
had Been g.ven. On the 4th he requested
pcrmilfion to depart. The Emperor's
perm on was u 'th him by next morning,
and thelecoad day after was appointed.

ihey therfore gave them a great number of
men to afljft in packing up; and they
v, ere so induftriom, that every thing was

the day of departure, the ambassador had
an interview with the minister, and re
ceived an anl'wcr to the propositions he

The failure in this bufmefs cannot be
easily accounted for; perhaps the Manda
rines who attended the Einbifly were not
addrelTed iu the feeling mjnuer they ex
ueifteti. Pretty things for the Emperor
were only Ihows to them, and they might
■wish for something fuhfa ui.il for tfcem
felves. It is howeverr supposed that the
want of fuccefa ischiefly to be attrib md tfl
some evil imprefiion made on the Chinese
Court, by some of the Native Princes of-
India, telling them t<) beware how they al
lowed the Englilh to obtain a footing a
mong them; and strengthening t!i#ir ad
monition, by falfely ft.tting, that the fame
people had firft, as- friends, obtained a
small settlement in India, which they af
wards incrcafed by repeated wars, by driv
ing many of the original owners from their
jhrnariions, and eftablilhing upon their
ruin an immense Empire for themselves.
We are happy however, to add, that
when the last accounts left Canton, some
irrangements had taken place which indi
cated a more friendly disposition en the
part of the Chinese ; and that some hopes
had begun to be entertained that it was yet
possible to obtain the objedl of the voyage,
though not perhaps without much trouble.
SPEECH OF ROBESPIERItE,
In the Sitting of the Jacobins.
IN our paper of Saturday we alluded to a
speech delivered at the Club of the Jacobins
by Robcfpiqrre, against the moderate party ;
we now lay it at length before our readers :
it was at follows:
11 It is time, perhaps, th it those true, free
.and manly accents IhouM again resound tljro'
th*is hall, which have ever been heard hero
when the public weal was in danger.
" When vice is fecre. ly conspiring for the
deftru&ion of liberty, what means more pow
erful can freemen «-m ? 0 y agairtft it, than
truth and publicity ? Shall we, like conspira
tors, in obfeure dens, concert our meafuresol
defence against their perfidious effnts P Shalt
we scatter gold and spread corruption ? In a
word, (hall we makft use of the fame arms
against our enemies, which they employ
against us ? No : the weapons of liberty and
tyranny are are as wid ly different, asiibetiyl
and tyranny themselves are 4 oppofrd to «ar h
other. To combat of tyrafi s
and their friends, we have no other fefourfces
left but tru'h, and the tribunal-os public opi
nion; ani our only support are horfeft men.
44 Successes abroad do less conftiiute. the (
prosperity of a state, than an happy situation
within. While audacious factions are stalk
ing about, and innocence tiemt?!es for her
own fjfety, the Republic docs iiot reft on a
solid foundation.
11 To all honest C'fir.ens I here dertouncfc
an odioua system, which tends ro fcfeen aris
tocracy from national justice : and by defa
ming the true patriots, to um'o oiir cduntry* |
" The deftiu&ive blows of the enemies of |
this country, have always been aimed at the
life or rcpuia i n of.true patriots. In the faime
manner they now attempt to cast on the de
fenders of the kepubliri a trait of cruelty and
injustice, A&S of severity against conspira
tors ire by them denounced as attempts
against humanity. Whoever thus prote&s
and favour ariftoaracy undoubtedly attacks
true patriotism ; the downfall of one or the
other mull decide the resolution.
44 An humane man devotes htrafelf to the
cause of humanity, and pbrfues with juftitc
and vigor those that are its enemies ; he al
ways stretches forth a friendly hand to out
raged virtue and oppieffed innocence. But a
cruel barbarous -wretch commiserates eo»fpi
rators, and feels no pity for virtuous men.*—
The very fame fellows Who most tenderly in
terest themfelvts for ariftocrati, are the most
implacable enemies Of patriots. This system
is doubtless a counter-revolutionary effort, and
deserves no other name, for it tends to the
deftruflion of the defenders of their country,
and marks them .with the hoirrd stain of cru
elty. The faftiun of Moderates, mingled
with all the others, (upports them all* It is,
therefore, the firft duty of a good citizen,
publicly to denounce it. I should not y e t
have spOken against that fa£fcion, had it not
become powerful enough to attempt to cram p
the operations of government.
44 Whilst a few citizens with indefatigable
zeal, perform the tunlhons imposed upon
them by the people, a multitude of knaves
and agents of our foreign enemies, are con
stantly forging calumnies, and inventing per
frcutions egamft honest men. It cannot have
escaped your notice, that every patriot who
endeavors to revenge and consolidate liberty,
is checked in his exertions by those slanderers
who represent him to the people as a formi
dable, dangerous man. Virtue they invelt
wlch the appearance of crime, and the bafeii
vice with all the glory due to virtue.
44 Calumny every day invents new crimcs
to fuccecd in her horrid ploU ; and the Mo
derates incessantly employ that dreadful wea
pon. That- faction, incrcafed by the rem
| nants of all the oihcis, unites the spirit of all
the different conspiracies we have had to
combat since the Revolution. Taught by
experience to lay theii plots with keener per
fidy, they employ all the means of BtilTot,
Damon, Herbert, Chabot, and many other
criminals; but with more art and lagacitv.
44 Oftentimes have we witnefted attacks
made on the Committees of Publif Welfare
and General Safety, in a body ; but nOw it is
thought most proper to attack their members
individually, in order to weaken their
strength. Till now, they did not dare to di
rcft their blows against the national jufticc ;
but now they think thenifclves fuflftiently
powerful to calumniate the Revolutionary
Tiibunal, and the decree of the Convention,
concerning its organization. Even in legali
ty is called in question. You feel the great
importance of this scheme ; for, if all confi
dence in patriots should be destroyed, the
Revolutionary Government must either fink
into absolute nullity, ox fall a vi&im to the
enemies of the public weal; and then.artfto
cracy triumphs. Dcftroy the Revolntionary
Tribunal, or compote it of such members as
pleafc the ia&ious. How can you po&bly
expett to break the threads of conspiracies,
I when the conspirators tbemfelves administer
justice ?

that whatever we undertake, tyrants

" How ought Ihe friends of Liberty
to conduit themselves, when they find"
themselves in the irksome dilemma, ei
ther to betray their country, or to be
treated as tyrants, oppreflors, or unjust
and fan quinary men, when they dare to
fulfil their duty, perform the task impo
sed on them by the Convention, and to
prefer opprefied innocencc to the exe
crable horde of miscreants who coufpire
against Liberty ? Betray your country
in a fly, artful manner, and all your
enemies fly to yoUr assistance. But if
you defend your country, you cannot
utter one single word without being
called a tyrant —adefpot. You cannot
appeal to the public opinion, without
being arraigned as a Dictator. Every
courageous defender of his country is
now exposed to the fame danger as in
the time of Briffot—but, with regard
(o my personal fatisfa&ian, 1 should
still perfer to the present period, that
when I was denounced by Louvet. At
that time the enemies of patriots were
less treacherous, and less attrocious than
at pi,f'nt.
" The accusation of Louvet is re
peated in a paper found among the writ
ings the of Secretary of Camille de*
Moulins, and a friend of the conspirator
Danton. This a£t was ready for pub
lication, when it was dif<s>vered by the
Committee of General Safety. The
Conspirators, in order to eilablifh their
denunciation of a pretended* plan of dic
ta todhip, in that act, eall to their aid
all the events that have happened'in the
course of the Revolution. The absur
dity of this denunciation it is jifelefi to
unfold : calumnies "lb gross and glaring
cannot seduce the public : but they may
be considered as a kind ps manifclto,
that was to precede a coup-de-main a
gainst the patriots. What will you fay,
wlien I afTure you, that fhefe atrocities
did not appear heinous to gentlemen
inverted with a sacred character, and
that they were hawked about even by
some of our own colleagues.

PHILADELPHIA, Octobcr 8.
I We are informed from a quarter, in
which we have reafcm to confide, that
dispatches have been received from Mr.
Jay, as late asthefccond day of Au
giilh
There is believed to be some founda
: tion for the reports, which have been
! circulated, that the British fubje&s who
: are creditors of American citizens, are
impoitunate with the British Miniflry
I refpc&ing the recovery of their debts,
j It is probable notwithstanding the
I omifiion to enter appeals and tile
\ in many cases of condemned veffcls, the
j jurifdi&ion of the CommifTioncrs of
t prize causes will be opened again to rc
i ceive them ; and that fnch property as
shall not be saved hy the revilion of this
tribunal, will receive the benefit of any
principles which may be eflablifhed by
means of negociation.
The prelent adminiflration of Great
Britain, is notfuppofed to be hostile to the
United States, but the coutrary.
But it will beeafily conceived that fub
jetfs lo extenGve and varipus as those
with Mr. Jay is probaply charged, cannot
aflume a definitive fh.tpe, except after
many difcufiions, and that from interme
diate ciicumftance6, the final rdult cannot
always be foretold with certainty.
The negociation proceeds without any
affecteddelay; and we learn from the o
ther fide of the water that it is the wUh of
our friends there that moderation fliould
continue to operate on the minds and con
du<s* of our fellow-citizens. It is the
vice of-thofe friends to endeavor to cult£
vate peace and friendlhip by wisdom and
moderation ; and yet to.prepare to meet
holiiie events with composure, firmnefs
and vigor.
