" d »' 9- For the Gazette of the United States. Mr.. Fenno, That our city is improving with great rapidity no one can deny ; tT.c evidence of the fact strikes every person who walks the streets ; but your correspond ent Juvcms has feletted a very extraor dinary example to prove that we pro gress in refinement of manners—l am not an enemy to amusements—they are perhaps indifpenfible to the nature of man ; but it may well be doubted whe ther the fpcaies of diversion which he has felefted, as indications of oiir supe riority over European cities in civiliza tion, do not apply as an argument in favor of a contrary position. The Stage has always been obnoxious to the disap probation of some of the best moral!ftß who have wrote on the fubjed ; nor have its advocates ever been able to re fute the obje&ions brought .t; j but grant that in the labyrinth of dif- j quifition it hal ."tceived a fpectous, nay . plausible support: what is the irrefra- : gable attestation of experience ? It is in I vain to class the Stage with inllittitions almost universally acknowledged to be eflential; no one ever pretended that the cause of vice was promoted by pub licly inculcating the principles of virtue. Juvents fays, he frequents the Theatre, the Circus, &c. and that they have ne ver operated any corruption in his mo rals. It would be Angular indeed, if an advocate for diflipation (hould make a confeflion that the piaflicc corrupted his morals ; no Mr. Printer, this is not consonant to human nature ; but con sult a youth who has paid dearly for haanting places of public amusements, by having hit habits of indullry, sobrie ty and steadiness of disposition under mined, and who has had the intrepidity to tear himfelf from the blandilhmsnts of folly in due season—l fay a(k such an one, if the Theatre, the Circus or other public amusements did not operate a corruption in his motals? This is an old, an hackneyed fubjedt j nor (hould 1 have noticed the prefortnance of Juve nis, had I not supposed that the uncon tradicted currency of his opinions might be construed unfavorably to the cause of real civilization and improvement. The present is an eventful period—jglooms and fuperllition are not evintive of vir tue and morality—but if ever there was a time, it is now, that the people ought to be THOUGHTFUL. Tranjlalcd from the Courier Francois for the Gazette of the Vnited States. JACOBIN CLUB. Sitting—l9th Thermidor. Polverel and Sonthonax, formerly Civil Commissioners at St. Domingo, wrote that they were come to Pari®, where they were at liberty conformably to a decree of the Convention, which had suspended the decrte of accusation against them—They demanded to be admitted to the fitting—decreed. Sonthonax and Polverel appeared at the tribune.—Sonthonax ipoke ,fiift. He began by declaring that Polverel and himfelfhad been undeservedly ca lumniated in France, and that the au thors of all those atrocious calumnies were two pretended commilTioners from a Colonial Aflembly which no lunger existed. We swear to ymi said lie, that we have been in America, the martyrs of those principles which you profefs ; and to prove to you that our hearts are pure, and our consciences void of reproach, we (hall content ourselves witli mention ing our prompt fubmiflion to the decree of accusation which has been pa (fed a gainst us. Sonthonax then entered into various details on the adual lituation of the Colonies—from which it appeared that our Islands had been deliveied to the English and Spaniards by an infamous treason, but that Guadaloupe is alrea dy recovered. The French to the num ber of 1800 men ftUl poflefs one half of St. Domingo ; the other part is occu pied by Royalists, Federalists, the Eng lish and the Spaniards—the south part is untouched.—The captures of the Eriglifh to the north, "are reduced to one town—ln the weft they have taken the ci-devant Port-au-Prince—now Port Republican—They here Hole 45 veficla from the French laden with colonial produce.—This place appeared to be defended, but notwithstanding made a feeble rcfiftance, and was at length de livered up—The Cape remains, and all announce that this important city will never cease to be pofiefled by the French. Sonthonax said that one of the principal causes of all the misfortunes which afflict ed the colonies is a proclamation of the Englilh general, in which he allures the patriots, that the two civil Conimiffiontrrs have been proforlbed inFrance, and that they haß fallen under theix of the national vengenance—■—The tw Comtni.Tioners have been obliged to flyfor their own se curity, and from that toment the com raandaiits of-the feveralp.laces hadceafed to (hew themielves as lepublicans ; but since, the genius of librrtv and equality bad? arisen from its deprfiion. There had been in tha coimtry a little Vendee, compofedof Lhe eyolted negroes by tbgißbyalilts, who h>j»ed to rcftoie ilavery- in France, by exci ingj all kinds of hgjfr9?s in the colonies; 'hd civil Com mnliones before their deltititioii, publifn ed a proclamation in which'ttey told the truth to the pejßjf daceivkl and ltd I astray ; this prodatnation win a feufibl. stroke to the power of the R<oya ills, and ' chief part of those who" had been abused, a baridoned the part/ yho' had betrayed them to perfidy—The counttr-reyolution iits had made the negroes to beheve that Capet had left a will by which the ne groes were to have their liberty, if by their ; exertions his son Ihould come to mount | the throne. After some other details, the orator entered into some observations on the chara&er of the negroes, so unjustly despised by the planters; He asserted, that these blacks are so brave, so devo ted to the sacred cause of Liberty for which they fought, that they had pre ferred to eat grass rather than fnbmit to the disgrace of obeying the vile Span- I iards. Thefr unfortunates have acquitted themselves, since they arj 110 longer the fpoit of the caprices ot their matters, with a degref of energy which has ren idered them formidable to the enemies, of Liberty. Every day, they improve themselves in the arts of warriors—and it will not be long before their efforts will render St. Domingo the molt pow erful and the mod flourifhing of our Colonies. Polverel spoke after Sonthonax, in which he confirmed the r-marks of his colleague. Polverel ended by declar'ng that his colleague and himfelf had ">een of the Republican party in the Coonies, that they had there conducted s Republi cans, and that the principles vhich had hitherto directed their conduit, (hould never cease to animate them. CONTINUATION OF LATEST Foreign Intelligence, Received by the Jhip Manchtjer Capt. Cox, from Liverpool which left that place September 9. MILAN, August 11.

The body of St. Carlo, was placed upon the great Altar, for the prayers and veneration of the public, .for the l'pace of two hours. BERNE, August 11. The cruel scenes attending the Re volution of Geneva are not confined to the firft days of it. Again, the 4th of thi3 month, the Revolutionary Tri bunal condemned fifty four persons of different ages and ranks, four of whom have been (hot,, on?, of therfi banged, and thirty one condemned to banish ment, and all their property confifcated. These circumilances have induced the Council of Berne to publish the follow ing PROCLAMATION. " We the AVOYER, the Little and Great Council of the City and Re public of Berne, &c. make known by these presents— " Public fame has fufficiently inform ed us of the deplorable scenes which have overwhelmed the city of Geneva. That Republic, in whose protperny we have constantly taken an resulting from long anil intimate join tions as allies, and the luibittial carioftc: tions of neighborhood, is delivered' up. to unheard of calamities, of whith it is not poflible to forefee tb.e extent,."the duration, or the confequcnces. At tiie moment that we had reafori to hope for the return of peace and tranquility, by the eftablilhment of the new order of things, which the Government had so lemnly announced to us, the fame as had the Canton of Zurich, a band of tumultuous men attacked and overthrew by main force, public liberty and ]--r- fonal fafety ; they violated private hou ses, arretted individuals, and dragged them to prison. These violences were committed even against the Minifteis of Religion, in a manner such as seem ed to announce the intended profcrip. tion of religion, >n a city marked as 1 ze na were facritked even ugainft the will of the majority of voters. New vietfms were pointed out ; new were made against persons and property, even in despite of oatus, of forms esta blished, and the laws oT the State ; and Geneva waits in coulternation the tate which the Gmguinary men who have usurped the right of disposing of the lives and fortunes of all the citizens are delliny of a city whose happmefs has been at all times the objefl of our cares, and which, by its proximity, so nearly intereits our own State and that ot all Switzerland. But the knowledge we have gained of the criminal participa tion of many individuals' of qur own fcountry aggravates Hill more our griei and indignation. Our paternal solici tude for the fafety and honor of our country not permitting us to tolerate on our tcnitojy thrfc men sullied with crimes, we by the present publication interdict their entrance into our territo ries ; and will, that all those of our fub je&s who (hall be known to have had any part in these atrocious scenes, be inllantly denounced and seized, referv [n.r to oirrfelves to pronounce the chaf jifftnenf which their culpablecondufl, in a ciry so long our ally, merits. We doubt not, dear and faithful citizens, that participating in the fame sentiments that, animate us, you will redouble your »clivity and zeal in the execution of this present ordinance." j COPENHAGEN, August 19 Hitherto the combined Danish and j Swedish fleet at anchor in our port had only detached some frigates on a cruize of observation: We now learn that a small squadron of four fail of the line, four frigates, and four cutters (half of each nation,) will fail to the North Sea, under Commodore Winteifeldt, who will receive his orders, sealed up, rela tive to his future dellination. DANTZICK, August 18. The Prufiian bau'mickof Tanroggen, in Lithuania, has been again delivered from the Poles by Major General Von Schenk without any bloodshed. The armed Polifli peasants who were found there, were all let at liberty. On the 21 It inft. the king of Poland received v. letter from our monarch, and a summons was dispatched to General Oilow, the commandant of Warsaw, by General Sciiwei in, deliring that com mandant to spare Waifaw, and to put a (top to the farther cffulion of human blood. Gen. Or low anfwercd, 11 That as long as the Generallffimo Kofciulko was polled between Wajfaw and the Prufiian army, that capital could not dispose cf its fate. Stanislaus Augustus answered the king of Piufiia, in a letter, principally to this purport : " That Warsaw, even in cafe of refiltance, would the less de serve the rigorous treatment with which it was threatened, as its refinance did not depend on itlelf, as long as Kofci ulko {hould defend the avenues." His Poliih majesty also profeffes his attach ment "to the cause of his country, fay ing, " That bis life was not in the least dearer to him than that of any of -the citizens or inhabitants of Warsaw ; and conjuring'the king of Prufiia not to haibour any emotions of resentment or vengenn'-e, equally contrary to the example which kings ought to let to nations, and injurious to his Prufiian Majesty's own character." The Ruffians are laid to be already at Grodno. i Many of the aioft fkiiful Prussian engineers have received orders to repair, by post» to the King of Pruflia'a head quarters before Warfavv. They are to be paid all extra charges and costs, and a proper indemnification. Those Prufr ftan engineers who rciide in the weft or weft Priiflia, are already arrived. BREDA, August 27. Ycfterday the French made a general attack on all our out-poftt, and after an obstinate engagement on both fides, the Frenph retired. FRANCE. NATIONAL CONTENTION, August 12. Batrere read the following letter from j the National Deputies at Treves, dated the 9th of August : "Citizens Colleagues, on the 18th Thermidor (Auguli 6) the heroes of the army of the Moselle marehed for wards in three columns, and formed a junction at Treves. The column com manded by General Arobcrt enjfted along thejight tank of tb« Mofdle . that commart'.'.d bj R cn auc proceeded to the of the Sar. •—And, the thin' advanced be tween the Sarre and th<- Mofette.

Our troopi inftandy charged with the fixed bayo net, took poffefiion of Remich, and drove the Austrian Slaves towards the Province of Luxembourg. >roceeded to Grevenmacberein, from vhence the enemy retreated alio towards Luxembourg, leaving us in polTefiion if a considerable magazine of wheat and lats. The centre column drove before it whatever it found in its way ; and that >f the Sarre was completely viftori )US. Each of them was diltinguilhed jy a boldness and intrepedity which no-* hing could refill. The bridge of Con "arbruck was occupied by a conftdeia jle body of the enemy, provided with rnns. On the seventh, at nine at light, ootwithftanding many days and lights fpJnt without either ileep or re refhment, and in spite of a continual ain, and torrents of mud, the soldiers >f libeity fell on the Austrian (laves, ind in less than*half an hour the bridge A'as cleared. • A gun, a military wag yon, and 90 prisoners fell into our lands, without losing, on dur fide, a "ingle man. At the fame moment the eft column carried la Monjagne Vcrd (the Green Mountain,) defended by mature and art, and forming the princi pal defence of Treves. In the midit of i (hower of cannon balls, bullets, and rrenades,' the redoubts were carried by the bayonet. The enemy fled, leaving behind' them five or fix hundred dead, tad eighty prisoners. On our fide, we oft but thiity republicans. On the following day thecolumnsextended their "ronts on the mountains, and in less han two hours Treves was completely n veiled. We entered the city, at three o'clock, and found that, it had been evacuated hy the Auftrians, emigrants, priests, monks and nuns. The in their bed attire, brought us the keys, y;!ling us, they were extremely glad to , fee us. We are malVrrs of the two la yers the Sarre and Mozclle, and of a gieat part of the Ele&oratepf Treves, a rich and abundant country, a true milch cow for the Republic. The great. number of boats we found in the.port, will serve us for the conveyance else- • where of whatever wc may conceive to be burthenfome to this territory, and which may at the fame time be ufcful to the Republic. _ >5^7- I fancy that 3 or 4 millions of in specie may be colle&ed within the ' space of 48 hours for the Republic: , this will unquettionably be adting with moderation.

We kvn that four English frigates, two brigs and a cutter, under the com mand of admiral Harvey, arrived off Fluflvng. On board the cutter is Lord Mulgravc, who is to command a corps of British troops for the defence of Zealand, who are every moment expect ed to arrive in a number of transports. The Britannia, an Englilh cutter, en tered Helveotfluyes, with four tranf- . ports ; one of them carries aitillery and ammunition for the Duke of York, and the others 362 soldiers and 114 artille- ry men. LONDON, Sept. 6. The mail due this day had not arriv ed when this paper went to press. We are still without any ncwi from Paris of a later date than th* 15th inft. The public must naturally be anxious _ to learn what tray have been the ilfue of the last debates which took place in. the Convention previous to that day. They were certainly carried on with a considerable degree of heat and animo sity.—The parties seem to have been nearly balanced ; and the decilion of the question rafpefling the organization of the committees, the great point upon which thev seem to have becu at vari ance, muli have determined which of those parties pofleffed the confidence of the National Convention. From 'l>e freedom of debate which at last prevail* in that aflembly, it is at leail <*\ident that the majority dare speak thei. minds, and their decrees will l>e the refuit, not ot the interelted and factious views of a few individuals, but of the .rolk'ftive opinions of the Reprefeutativesof the people of France. >4 1 'its „ v .'/I'
