It is below the dignity of the Convention to occupy itfejf a handful of intriguers of one •orfhe ot'isr party. No great event h.is ever taken place, but the Anftocrats, W i )fe number is very fmill, have tried to takr advantage of it. Amongthofe ed the Mufeadins, men, who under a pretext of sick, have quitted the army, though the/ were in good health. It would indeed be better for them to re nain at their pod , on the other hand ] saw men fuik in ciimes the soldiers of Robifpieire, who ha-c filled their pockeis w.th the money he squandered away, and dipt their hands in the blood he shed. It will be lufficient to hear the report of committees, and to drive away all thpfe who trouble the ptare and tranquilr t of Paris. .Merlin, of Dou»-., announced, that the expe&ed report would be immedi ately made. He propofeifr, mean while, an additional decree to the law of the 4th of September. Adopted. Sybflance of the Decree. The citizens who did not reside at Paiis before June rg, are ordered to leave the ttty on the day following the publicatii.il of the present decree, to piocefd durirg tlie firlt two days at lealt 30 miles from Paris ; to join their rtfpertive homes, and to jultify of their tetuin, before their municipality, du ring a delay of two decades for thqfe win) are 390 miles or less from the ca pital and of four decades for thole who are at a greater di'tance from Paris. The Convention adopted the mea sures presented by Tretlhurd, in order to erufh a few daring rioters at Mar leilles. Merlin (of Thionvillc) pretended tliat the meafut;es adopted Were not fufflcient. The confpiiators, he said, do not only threaten the republic at Marseilles, but the popular societies, the communes of all the south of trance are confederated, and correfpood with each other. A letter of Marseilles informed the Jacobins, that a battalion was necessary for their assistance.' It is therefore un quellionable, that there exifls a treaty between the focicty of Marseilles and that of the Jacobins. I demand, that the seal be put on the place of its fit tings, and that the members of that society be defended to aflemble public ly, before every one of them has proved, that he was at his pod during the night of the 27th to the 28th of Ju'y, viz. in his feftion, or among the armed force which defended the National Con- * ■ 1 vcntion.

The Prefidcnt Of the United States, speaking of the Pittfburg rebel lion, fays, " The very forbearance of government to press prosecutions, • was mifmterpreted into fear of urging the execution of the laws," and from a belief, that by a more formal "eon cert their operation might be defeated, certain frlf-created societies afiiimed the tone of condemna tion."

PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 16. If personal accomplishments, an amia ble charadler, an improved mind, engage ing manners, and agreeable future prof pefts, could have rescued any one from the grave; Mr. William Weed, son of Mrs. Mary Weed of this City, would still have lived ! But as it is appointed for all men once to die ; this lovely youth was fummonnd out of time into Eternity in the lift year of his age, on the 24th of September last, in the Illand of St. Domingo, after ten days ill ness with the Yellow Fever ! During his confinement every attention was paid to him by a number of the princi pal inhaoitants—but their friendly aid com bined with the best medical atliftance could not save this deserving stranger ! The mercantile house where he served his apprenticeihip and a numerous class of Philadelphians with whom, though young he had contracted an acquaintance, can only judge of the feelings of a bereaved Parent on this melancholy event, who in the Fall of 1793, loft her Hufnand by the fame direful malady—The tidings or her son's death having been communicated to the Family a few days ago, a fef-mon suitable to the mournful occasion, was delivered on Lord's Day morning last by the Rev. f>r.
