The madness and violence of some, in °

have.been completely defeated by the cau- n

the President, fuppnrtedby generous citi-
zens of every deienption, in a crisis To in-
terefting, and finally by the march of our
brave armed bands, led on by patriots,
that while they rendered this eflential fer- I
vice to their country, dervivedto thetn- v
felv'e- la'ting reputation, by a due regared t
to the law», and the civil authority of the c
people. . t
This un'ortunate bufir.es has indeed
been a considerable bill of cost, with this
consolation, that it will prevent fach ill ad- "
Tiled violence hereafter; will evince to the h
vorld, that the American people under- d

that the resources will be fufficiently
productive, without more taxes, and that
agreeably with the President's recom- c
mendation, and" the real wish of every n
member, we (hall soon. be enabled to re- ']
duce the public debt. a
The successes of o-ar allies have been, b
and still continue to be, rapid and brilliant n
and it is now hoped by many, that Mr. f
Jav's million to the British Court, is in a
train of adinftment, and that among o- S

r Tlie fvmptoms of mildness which the
Revolution of JGeneva fei?med to aiaime,
haxe-foon jffven place to its original cha- "
j' rafter, viz. that of Pillage. Scarcely ls
had the conspiracy of the Montagnards T '
betn difeovered ; Scarcely had the Re
r volntionary TribtiHal been compelled to 1
puni(h its authors ( who declared before Cl
to punilhment, that they had n
■ done nothing wjiicli their very judges 31
I had not inlligited, ordered, and direst- c '
ed them to do.) Scarcrly indeed had P
this Tribunal got rid of that faction,
which alarmed them by threatning to "
make the fruits of the pillages of the &
Genevefe Revolution pass into the hands
of the French, than they began afrefh e '
these fame pillages with an activity quite .
new, in directing them more particular- !
ly against the class of Merchants, whom "
they had lately denounced as being rich- cl
er and more avaricious than the Ariilo- [
crats. It is tt ue that in this third scene, m
the blood of innocent men has not been 11
1 (hed, and that three of them condemned
to death for the purpose of seizing on P'
their property, have undergone this fen- P'
tence, only in effigy, on account of *'
their absence. But four or five hun- rc
dred heads of families, have not the °J
less been included in a new lift of con 31
fifcations profc: iptions and imprison
ments. Thus the scourge of this terri
ble revolution has already reached and j* r
struck about a thousand Citizens, that
is to fay more than the half of the ge- "
neral aftembly of the people, such as it te
was comoofed two vears aero, when a le
~rffouiaita iu.in.i-a.i.l lILJI.')
ftrangcrs werr aflbciated ! In the mean
time, though the fourth part and the
worthiest of its actual members, have
been thus excluded, such are the fears
of their opprefTors on the true fenti-
ments of the majority of the three thou
sand remaining members of that aflem
bly, that they dare the less convoke it, 1
as votes are given by a secret ballot.— P l
They have provisionally reimplaced it by
23 Revolutionary Clubs, where the
votes are given publicly, aijd where
those alone, for whom tranquillity is be
come a (late of violence dare to give w
( theirs, their boldness increasing in these cc
clubs, in proportion to the discourage- .
. ment of the most honest. These 23
little deliberating Republics meet every
day, and make sometimes separately,
sometimes collectively the most contra- c>:
dictory ptopofals.
The fluctuation of this new demo-
cracy, is inexpreftible. Sometimes it ar
permits those artilU condemned to im
-1 ptifonment in their own houses to go re
out three time a day to attend theiraav- w
cations; and soon after recalls this per- m
. million. At other times wishing open- f u
ly for the depopulation of Geneva, it a( i
allows the inhabitants who have not been a
1 brought to trial to depart with th,'ir
moveable effects ; the next day aftonifh
| ed at the croud of imigrants, and the
quantity of goods which they had car- g-,
1 riedoff the day before, it again forbids /(J
departure of any of them, as well
as of every kind of specie, merchan
dize &c. &c. ji~
The grand question which still divides th
i their minds, is, that of allowing the by
administration of the Republic, either ex
" to the Revolutionary Tribunal, or to on
the syndics and council, which this Tri
bunal has lately difpoflefled, just as the
. former hud difpoflefled the legitimate th
t aad Constitutional Administration of I.

> To induce the Revolutionists to be- aj
lieve that although ftigmatiztd by all il
1 their neighbours, they have still at a ce
' distance allies, and approvers of their re
enormities ; tlie authors of these crimes v<
' liave ordered for the lft of September w
I a civic feftival, in which to take advan- fe
c ta«e of the condiment which the u
French Convention has lately paid to p
~ Geneva, in placing its colours bcfide al
P those of the United States ; They have h
1 difplnyed them « the Ameri- n
cati for the purpose of loMing the p
Ger.erjfe in tlie sweet delusion, that t'.iey
are Itill worthy of being ebmpxrfd a;id
aijoeiated to the Republic of the new
world. It is true that at-this (how,
unecould read in mvked chaTafters on
the countenances of the fpeftators and
afliilants, shame and remorse. But
what" are #e to expect from a people
to whom no other virtue regains la ap»
j pearance but that ot discovering such
I remorse, and no other courage bui that
of furmonnting it ?
j One trait more will fsffiee to hnifh
♦ tUe picture of their misfortunes, it is
that the French themselves, the indica
tor* of all these cor.vulfions and plun
i ders, diffatisfied either at not having
been able to collect the fruits for them
. selves, or in having been so much sur
passed in the Revolutionary cat eer ; pre
y j tend at this moment some compafiioi!
| for the Genevefe; * ■and have written
to their diforganizers to persuade them
to put an end to this scandalous and
ufclefs tragedy.
Whether these will persevere in pro
longing it or drop the cuttain for a
' while; the fate of this little republic
is no longer doubtful. If the revolu
tion of France is triumphant, Geneva
already entirely surrounded by its ter
j ritory, is inevitably condemned to be
„ come a French city; or if even by a
j miracle it should escape that defliny
and it's virtuous citizens (hould extri
cate themfelvcs from their actual op
j preflion, they would nevertheless be
forced contrary to their inclinations to
let themselves roll in the orbit of the
f great planet to the revolutions of which
s Geneva has firffcred herfelf to be attach
-1 ed as a satellite.
, After these lall consequences of a
firft step toward* the revolutionary doc
, trine ; one may trace it's source, it's
current, and it's overflowings, from the
moment when it announced itfelf with
mildness, by the modest and innocent
' title of citizens which it's partizans a
> dopted among themselves, up to the
, period when after having succeeded in
proclaiming the equality of rights, they
f found out the art of extending that
equality of rights even over theJtrtunes
, of tbofe who did not think as they did,
and when after having disarmed them
without refillance, they plundered, ba
nished, and put them to death. Such
I are the late ravages which this doctrine
has introduced into Geneva! There
was not however in that small and m
terefting republic either abuses to cor
| reft, or reforms to operate, nor even
mI-i'li ..Inffn icalolllv.
t lince the Genevan laws at no time
. knowledged nobility even among fami
| lies the moll ancient and the moll opu
lent.* It mud be also observed, that
the ancient government whose members
have been so cruelly parfued and perfe
cted, had always (hewn in the admini
(tration of jullice and of the finances a
' purity, against which even the spirit of
r faction had never raised any doubts, and . (
, that the exact public ceconomy of the
, administrators could only be compared ]
to their personal difintereflednefs. It
was so much so, in fad, that their fuc
, ceffors in seizing on their places, began
to double, and triple their salaries ; and
it seems that they have not yet found
r them fufficient, since in the course of
the lall fix weeks, there has been an
' expenditure of the public trcafure or
rather a dilapidation of about 40,000
pounds flerling.
Two great and importants truths

KNOXVILLE, Dic.nibcr 13.
On the iSthult. Peter Greaves was
killed by Indians, within a quarter of a
mile of Sharp's ftaiion, near the south
bank of Clinch rivei, 20 miles nofh'of
this place. The Indians who killed
hira had waylaid the pa'h, and fired at
so Ihort a distance that he was powder
burned—upon being wounded, he ran
waspurfued, and mutSl hacked wit"h a
sword ; and from the foicv of the blows
about fix inches of the point of the '
blade wis broke off. Two scalps were
taken off his head. 1
Oil the 1 inllant, a party of In
dians, about two hours arter dark, se
creted themselves within twenty feet of
the door of the house of Thomas Cowan
and fired upon his Wife and son as they
(lepped into the yaid, and pierced the
cloaths of the latter with eight balls, but
he escaped under cover of the night in
to the woods, and Mrs. Cowan retur
ned into the house unhurt.
The firing alirmed the neighbour
hood, and Captain Beaird was at Cow
ans, with twenty men. within an hour
and an half, patrolled the woods the '
whole night in search of the Indians,
hoping they would lliike up a fire by 1
which they could be Sjifecvered; the '
next moining, (I Ith inllant) by or- I
der of Governor Blount, Captain Be- 1
aird went in pursuit of the savages. <

It is to be hoped that the members <
of Congrefsj in whom the power of
