BOSTON, o<flober 30. COMMUNICATIONS. St. JUST, a late member ot the National Convention mult have become well acquainted with.the Arrerican cha railer, by their conduct towards Genet, when he made his report to the conven tion ot France, a few months fuice; for he uttered not a single word about the " Secret ferviee money," that may have been sent to America. Bur thus he speaks of the other neutral nations, or, the exorbitant amount of secret fer visc money, " that the expense in Tur key, including diamonds, had been fc venty millions of livres; in Switzer land, more than forty millions; in Ge noa, J4 millions 5 in Venice, Denmark niid Sweden, very considerable ; and that the only fruit of this wade of trea- X* J'. 1 2.—' fitte I\ad beeti to keep t|>ofe Hates neu tial, \*hich, from weakness or interest, mult have Continued neutral at events." Su Just was the creature of Robei pierre—they both proved villains, and both are guillotined. They may have sowed the feeds of their villainy in this country, perhaps in this very town* It becomes the duty, therefore, of all those, who are friends to Peace, and enemies to War, to be upon the look out.

John Fairfield, in the* ft-hoon er Fifhhawk, arrived here on Saturday last, in 23 days from St. Anne's, Gua ilaloupe.—He informs us, that on the 23d Sept. in the night, die town of Poiqc Petre was set on fire by some A ristocrats, in order to favor the attack of thtf British, who were oft the other fide of the river, but the Republicans were lo well prepared to receive them, that they were contented with firing, from their fort their cannon and bombs, which were well anfweied from the dif ferent forts in the town.—After this, on the 27th, all the forts in Point-Pe tre commenced a tremendous cannonad ing on the Britilh fort on Windmill point, and silenced it—in the mean time, the French troops eroded the rirer above and took pofleflionof Gueoff, and a fort defended by 4 .4 pounders, without the least refinance, the Britifti troops fleeing before them. The next day they marched down to Petit-Bourg, on which, 3 British (hips of war, then cruising in the Bay, run down, and took the troops off, and pro ceeded for Basseterre, qnd the French took pofieffion of the town without any refirtance. V-V. Previous to, and at the time Capt. F. failed, the French had so completely surrounded thefoit on Windmill-point, that it was impoflible for them to es cape, except by their boats. A reinforcement was momently ex pected from France—for which the French were anxiously waiting, in or der to' attack Bafleterre, which they were certain of pofl'efiing in a short time.—The French have a large num ber of Blacks, who are welf-difciplined, and make excellent troops. From the Federal Orreryi A PUN. NEW-YORK, Noreraber 4. Rfuciutian in France. As the French Jacobins artfully brought into use two abftreS terms, Liberty and Equality, to £ave the trou ble of defining or underltanding a true Republican Canftitution of government; lo with great address they gave them fclvel the name of patriots, and their oppofers in general the name of drijto cralt. A patriot in France has been a man who has followed the molt violent demagogue of the day ; firft La Fayette was a patriot, then Dumourier, then BnfTot, Paehe, Bailly or Petion, then Danton and Marat, then 'Robefpicrre —and flow Tallicti, Coltot and Billaud. All who support the ruling party are patriots ; all who oppoft them ate Ari- hcrtUt. The great mass of the people annex no clear idea* to' these terms. Patriot is undoubtedly a friend to his country, but what kind of opinions such a man must have, or what form of governmertt he must advocate, ii never a fubjeft of enquiry with the multitude; and that kind of government which is belt for France and which a real friend to that country ought to espouse, is no more defined or underfiood, or fettled and agreed upon, by the pedple of France, than it is by the Chinese or Tartars. Mod Frenchmen agree in opposing the armies of the combined powers, arid so far are patriots, but Whether Coudor cet's, or BriflTot's, or i* obelpierre's ideas of a good government for France, ace right and patriotic, is not fettled or ascertained. The term ari/i'Herat is of ft ill le£» cer tain import, It is a name that incurs odium : it aufwers its purpofc, of expo fmg any man that the demagogue of the day wi/hes to get rid of, to popular refentmenl and fury ; and hiftury will hereafter recount numberless instances of men, who have fallen a facrifice to that finglewoid hxed upon them by a jealous rival, without committingthe leait crime againfl their country. La Fayette, 1789 and 1790 was the bed of patriots. The Populace of Pa lis in thousands and ten thousands, thronged around him, with Vive La Fay ette. 'I'his man accepted the Conftitu ! tion of 1791 and took a solemn oath to ! maintain it. It i« admitted on all hands, by the friends and foes of La Fayette, ; that he has never changed hi* fyfterti or ; his'conduft—he risked his lite to bring 1 about a reform of government, and he , swore to support that reformed govern ment—he adhered to his <58th—he adt ed the part «£ an honed man. But fix months after, it new fa&ion springs up, and proposes further reforms, in the government. The Jacobins fay, we mult throw aside the Constitution of ' 1791 afid down with the king, tho' in di rect violation of their oaths. The Jaco bins bring over the populace of Paris they in an instant change their tone—La Fayette is an ariltocrat and a traitor. Why! he does not change his conduit—it is the people who have changed—his con duit was patriotism yejierduy but to day is treason, without any change in the man. Js there then in France any standard by which patriotism can be known and de termined ? Not at all; patriot and aristo crat are terms of in definite meaning—their lenfe is chasged from day to day to suit the whims of the moll capricious populace in the known world. The fame may be told of Petion, of Pache, of Bailly, of Roland, of Demou rier, of Ballot, of Hebert, of Dantoiu and of Robespierre. Each of these lead ing men has been hailed as a patriot one day, and the next as a tyrant, a traitor, a conipirator. Why ? Simply because there is in France no Conilitution paramount to the wills of men—no fixed ilandard of political right and wrong. j If the populace to day can be per suaded to believe the constitution of V 791 the belt for France, then its advo cates and supporters are patriots. If to-morrow some demagogue can make them believe, that a federal republic is bed for France, then La Fayette is an arijlocrat, a traitor, a conspirator, and Briflbt and Roland are the patriots. If the next day, Marat and Danton can turn the populace of Paris about, and make them believe that a republic one and indivi/ible is the only good govern ment for France; in a moment Briffot is a traitor, a conspirator, his head is cut off, and Robespierre is the patriot. If another day Tallien can make the po pulace believe that Robefpierte has too much power or is aiming to dbtafn it, in a moment the popular cry is changed from Vive Robespierre, to an aristocrat, a tyrant, a villain ; and his head is off. Yet these men have never been proved traitors. The truth is, there is no Itan dard of patriotism in France but the whim of the populace. The people wifli for liberty, but know not what form of government will secure them that liberty.
