-a idea tl.at tjie Duftor's observations Are Improper oro.it of season : I think Jtuiite the reverse, that there was mu.-h piopriety both in the time arid manner j of introducing Uiem, and that he does honor to himfelf, as an American, by treating the different European powers ia the impartial manner he has done. I am delighted with the praises jultly beftjwed on the full character not only in this our weltsrn but in all the world. How amiable is virtue—ret so depraved is humtn nature that too many choose tather to dctraft from than to tender the tribute of praise that is jullly its due. To me it appears that a degree of enthusiasm is pardonable in out ef- tnJ admiration of that amiable man, wl, ° ' 3 P ricle America, jaUy the darling of every good citizen. That {pitit of piety that runs thro'- the difcouife, aferibing to Divine Pra rid jnce the government and disposal of all events, is In a peculiar manner jn» to me, an<J 1 think one of its bright est ornaments." TRANSLATION. ExtrnSl of a letter to the Editor, from a French gentleman in Baltimore, dated March 19. UNITED in afFeStofi to M. Troh fon D'.i Coudray, and his ancient friend and fellow member, I have read with eqnal intere'.t and pleasure the extracts which you have given us from his elo quent to the Jury, as public accuser, in tbe'procefs again!! the infa m»U9 Carrier.* This enlightened man, whose talents have been exerted with so much eclat in the catife of iiumanity, is not a ft ranker to the united Americans: he is brother to the deccafed M. Du Coudray, officer of aitillery, and friend to Dr. Franklin, whom that jgreit man engaged 10 confec:ate his youth and his coinage for the eftablilhment of your indoendence :—-He was drowned in crofting the Schuylkill—Hislofs, which was the subject >>f general grief and re gret, is d>.ubtle£s within your recollec tion. ( His brother, the eloquent Tronfon Du Ciindray, has devoted himfelf to the bar—vand is there diitinguiihed by lii» sensibility and by his genius : your great franklin teftilied to his rising abi lities, of which he found the advantage, by tfie diflintjuilhcd notice with which he was honored. ■ " The friendfhip of a great man is a benefit conferred bv the Gods." He glories in being the brother of a martyr to Liberty, and the friend of one of itsjifcatf.ft defender become in lus tuin the avenger of a liberty, alia so purfie wirh as much energy the li centioufriefs which would dellroy it, and of crimes whiiftv would stain it \Vitli blood. This gives to all true republi cans the right to hope, that the reign of crimes is passed in France, .especially the choice of a man to this office, equal ly diftinguiflied by the virtues which tSnftitute a freeman, illuflrious talents, arA a courage above all fear. In fine to giv you a jtift idea of the virtuous piincipVs of the man I hnve named.-t— It is he wlao has been the intrepid de fender of tVe mod illtiftriaus victims who have fallen under tlie guillotine, or rather the poign%rds of the firll revo'iu- tionary tribunal. It is he who fought to refene from their fury the unfortu nate Mai ia Anton ette, of whom, almolt all the accusers and judges, since the f ill of Robespierre, have expiated their crimes on the fcaffold. * See Gazette of the 13th inft.

Friday morning last, came on a very severe florm which raged with uncommon violence. The wind being at N. E. did very considerable damage to the Long Wharf. Several vessels broke their falls,and did considerable damage to the small craft,—two or three were funk, and several difmalWd, as were two ships and. a schooner loaded with rum and molalfes.— The damage done by this short, though vio len storm is cftimatcd at nearly ten thousand dollars. We hear the late storm has done conside rable damage at Marbl head, &c. The par ticulars of which are not yet come to hand. We fear we fha.ll hear of a great deal of damage done the Ihippingon the coast in the late i'torm, and a number of lives loft. 'Ti» said the snow storm on Friday last, was the fevered to be renumbered for upwards of 10 years pall. An ounce of fad is letter than a pound of declamationt The Jacobin Socifcty in this town, was ori ginated by Frenchmen, one of whom was the creature of Genet, and has Received from his patron, a conliderable appointment—a nothcr was a French agent. &c. Let the persons who know themselves to be aimed at by this paragraph, deny the alTertion if they can! According to the decrees of the French National Convention, the " Popular Socie ties" arc diftinfi from Jacobin Clubs. The former, fay they, are eftabliihed by the C on- Jlituticn; the fame as Town-meetings in the United States. This is as it should be. A correspondent expects every day to fee the French National Convention abused in certain papers.' The Robefperians cannot forget the God of their idolatry ; and the ' "M' m c f to cnev olcnc" lately adopted, is to tally repugnant to their stomachs. The following neat parody of the se cond and thiid verses of the 24th Chap ter of the Ads of the Apostles, was [delivered by a IloxDury divine in his Thanksgiving sermon: " Seeing that by thee we; enjoy great quictnefs, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by ;hy Providence we accept it always, and in all places, Mod Noble WASHINGTON, with all thankfulnefs." GOOD NEWS ! A writer in one of the Jacobin pa pers of Pniladelphia, fays, " It is a feriaus and alarming circumstance, that molt of the prefles have devoted thcm felves to the fide of government," as if it were a crime to support the conlli tute<? authorities of tVie country inwliich we live. How often do thef.'i iieHites of satan d;f_-orer their eleven feet ! In the paper above alludej to, ii a speech of Bourdon of Oifc, in the Na tional aflembly, Ott. 16. on the decree forbidding all correspondence between the popular societies, in which,fpeaking of the Jacobins, and denouncing them as the m >ft conflant of all arillocracies, he emphatically asks, " Whonominated these men who pretend to form a centre in oppolition to the legtflative body ? The people ? No ! They are socie ties created by themfclves,"—in J this is the paper that has poured such tor rents of abuse on the President of the United States, fur merely denominat ing the Jacobin clubs of America— " Self-created societies." March 13. Ihe Treaty of Commerce. Entered into with Great Britain, by Mr. Jay, it is not impalfible may be re ceived by Congrcfs. When a treaty is published in its firft (late, before it is corre&ed and ratified individuals might place a depcndance on a clause, and arrange their business agreeably, which might, on some ac count,be expunged before its ratification and there might possibly, be some clause obnoxious, which might unnecelTarily heat the blood of our citizens, and which, before the treaty was finally a greed to, would be mollified. We have never seen anv of the rmny Indian Treaties, till they were complete ly ratified, and mutually signed. And we find in England,though the drafting of the Treaty was finifhed on the 19th Nov. and »e have had news to Jan. 3, it had rot been published there, in that interval, but that almost every arti cle which formed it was kept secret ; and the British King made an observa tion tantamount to tiis, that it would not be made known till ratified. From these confutations, it is cer tainly pTobable, that some of the late private bufir.efs, of Coiigrefs, may have been 011 this fubjeft,and if we consider the refpeftability cf the Gentlemen, who represent the Nitional Interefls in Congrcfs, we shall be no ways surprized that any confidentia business should be kept thus private. Intelligence fiom GUADALOUPE : By Capttin Brown. ' It ought to be mintioned' that the Pink frigate was mannei in four or five hours with whites mul|a'tt)es and blacks ; in con fluence of the arrval of two brigantines mounting each fouri2 pounders, at Point Petre, from the fles of transports, inform ing, that they wet near at hand. That the whole defij»j of,the Pink's going out, was to engage the Blanche at a dist ance from the lflaid ; which at the fame time, would drauthe other British ihips of war to the icernof action, and by this manoeuvre admit th- transports with fafety. This arrangement had the desired effecft ; for, while the frigites were engaged, tie fleet of transports did atfhially arrive, ex cept one, which wis discovered bv a Bri tish 74. The abort is from Capt. Brown, who adds, that tK« brigantines above mentioned had oh boa-d the principal part of the military stores for the troops, and that in consequence o; the arbitrary pro clamation at Martinio, feren hundred of the inhabitants nad aiiived at St. Bartholo mew's, who were feenby Captain Brown. Capt. Brown fartheadds, that the new invented (hot were trid, wh le he was at Guadaloupe ; and thjt one ball after hav ing glanced the wter three times, struck an old wreck, t< which it set fire immediately, and in ttis way 15 or 20 wrecks weredeftroyed roundthe Island.

I Let the people of France learn wis dom by their pad fufferings, and never again fall under the empire of tyranny, of which more than one species is even now trying, constantly, under the ap pearance of a perfidious popularity to, Hx on us its claws and its chains. Can it be possible, that after having been so horribly tormented, the French will ever again become the dupes of those political jugglers, who are yet seeking to delude them. No ! they (hall not succeed in their attempts; we will no longer lilten to them. The laws (hall be our only mailers, eur only guides.

AddrefTes from all parts of tlie re public, congratulating the Convention on having terminated the reign of the cut throats and tliie/es, are every day pivfented at the bar. With how mrfch art do the creatures of our last inquifiiors take advantage of every trifling Circumltance. " Will you," fa id Merlin of Douay, in a : lute fitting of the Convention, " have it said, that you have shut the doors of the Jacobins, only to open fhofe of the fanatics."—Hardly were these words dropped, when behold all the Jacobins were in mation, thinking fhat to pre vent the crowning of the little Cgpet. it was necessary again to open their dert and so fall into the gulph of Charybdis. Fools and madmen ! we will neither be governed by the Capets, nor by you ; & it is in vain that one of your echoes, the journal of Charles Dewal, catching at the fugitive expressions of Merlin, is trying to produce some lamentations over the tomb of the mother society, (fociete-mere) to pity her dear Jacobins, and to insinuate in the departments, that they are excellent patriot*, who are persecuted by malevolence. But the wounds made by their puignards arc yet bleeding ; the ev'ls they have done their country are too cruel—all the remembrance which ought to re main of them, is that of their crimes.
