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

both are guillotined. They may have

SALEM, OAober 20.
Succefsof the French in Guatlalnupe.
Capt. 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.
