5 The abolition of the Jacobin Socie
r ties in France by a decree of the Nati
onal Convention dispels in a great mea
-1 fore the cloud which has relied on the
1 profpeft of a favorable termination of
the Revolution.—The monstrous idea
■ of a power equal to that of the Jaco
bins, exiilingin a country which made
the smallest prctenfions to being a re
prefeiitativc Republic, could never have
• been entertained by one enlightened
friend to Trcedofn in France—Should
- the cffe& of publishing the: names of
■ the members of the Jacobin Societies
in France be similar to what it would
in th(s country, the Teeth and Claws
r of the Monster will be totally deftroy
cd.—When that is done, they will be
r as harmless if not as ufeful as Sheep.
The Invention of the Telegraphe
does not belong alone to the French,
About ten years ago, count Poflini, at
Rome, invented a mode of getting in
telligence from Naples, in the course of
an hour. The lottery, at Rome, de
pends upon the drawing at Naples. It
differs from our lottery materially, for
there are but fix prizes, and these are i
the firft fix numbers drawn, and the re
mainder are all blanks. The count,
■ whose house is on an eminence near
Rome, managed with his confederates,
who were placed at a certain diflance
between Naples and his estate, to have j
sky rockets let off, by which they had
previously fixed with each other, to
ascertain by such signals any particular
number or numbers drawn. The plan
focceeded, as tickets continued to be
fold at Rome, for fereral hours after j
the drawing commerced at Naples, the j
account of which was always brought t
by the ordinary courier. By this scheme
the party got about ioo,coo crowrts,
and the plot probably never would have
locen oiicovereo, nan not tfieccunt pur
chased the whole of the fix pr'zes, which
ca'.ifed susp cioti, and of course exerted
I inquiry.
