We announce, that the steeple to St.

This truly beautiful fabric, though con
tlrufted whbfly of timber, exhibits, an
appearance of compaftnefs and solidity
equal to any done ftru&ure of the kind;
and while it displays the Hi! 11 of the ar

Three days ago, arrived here Capt.
Silliman spoke a thooner 18 days from

From a Correjpondcnt.
If our Jacobins pretend that fueh com

tie governments,for instance such astheold
system of France they lhould be reminded
that the firft French Constitution was ex
tal'd by them to the ilars—yet the Jacobin
Clubs undermined and laid it in ruins : A
inerica is a byftander,let her take warning.
In a free country, if combinations of

why flior.ld they not be indulged—provid
ed they wiil pay the charge?
Our party men sometimes affe<sl the

did resolve, That in their opinion, "the

tive of a free and enlightened people,

And whereas, at that time, the letter of
eredit from the President of the United
States to citizen Monroe, and the two
letters of address from the Secretary of
-State to the committee of public fafety
of the French Republic, were not made
public—lt is therefore resolved, as the
opinion of this Society, that the letter
of credit of the President of the Uni
ted States to our minister Plcnipotent:- ;
ary at Paris, conveys the lentiments of
every genuine republican and friend to
the rights of man ; especially when he
expreffcj" the wishes of the United

and of drawing closer the bonds of our
amity"—Resolved, as the opinion of

to the Committee of Public fafety, da
ted 10th and 16th June lalt, declaring

which they once afiifted us to obtain.

I had executed the plan for robbing the

We hear that the part/ of men that
