PARIS, January 10. (
In the fitting of the National Conven
tion the Bth January, the following letter, t
( transmitted by the out-lawed deputyLLo- t
vet was read by one of the fecretarics. • {
1 aoth [Dec. 10] third
year of the French Republic
I one and indivisible.
At the voice of the deliverers of the [
ninth Thcrmidor [July 17] the victims
of Robefpicrre rile out of their tombs
and 1 also demand of you to recal me from
exile.
Hebert let loose his band of cut-throats
against me ; Pache hastened to denounce
me ; Henriot rushed ac lied upon me in
• .order to seize me ; Couthon ordered me to '
1 be arretted ; St. Just invented my crimes ; 1
e Amar drew up the a<sl of dccufa.tion, and <
- liairere outlawed me. 1
It was I who firlt denounced you the ty- ]
a rant, the crimes he had committed, and I
,r the more horrible crimes he was about to
commit. Can you refufe me the right of I
' justifying myfelf before you against the 1
' | calumnies of the tyrant ? Should the for
n malities which have proteited even Car
riere, be less binding with regard to me ?
No, no—you refpeft justice, for you are
a. free
0f Amar and Barrere are in the midfl of
, e you ; oblige them, for the firft time, to
jit look their vidYim in the face ; force them,
to at last, to accufc me face to face, not before
es a band of aflalTins whom they called a tri
bunal, but before impartial, upright, and
legal ju<Ves. before you. Let a decree
ordain this solemn ail of justice, aud I
will hasten to appear. .
I don't mention the many dangers, the
unheard of hardlhips which were my only
• companions for thele seventeen months.
Many of my colleaguts have fufFcred more
■ a th?n I.
Sometimes I hid myfelf in the remotest
corner of a gloomy and subterraneous hole,
ng at another moment panted on rough and
m, desert mountains, errant, abandoned, and
proscribed, but at least and free ; I
A could often, with a loud voice, protest a
> gainlt tyranny. Without doubt those
woithy rcprefentatives who have remain
ed within the reach of the tyrant, filter
ed still more than I ; some of them were
laden with chains because of their love for
liberty ; others who saw the threatening
ne arm of the opprclTor constantly lifted over
; n their heads, prepared generaufly, and ex-
C , H pecltd with patience, the moment to rife
"of upon and crush the tyrant. It is not be
cause you will terminate my fufferings
that I thank you, with all France ; it is
j bccaufc.you have f. 't-d #ur country. Hap
py ji he, after r.aVin® been' opprefl'cd
vou for liberty, may hope to deiend her
again with vou.
'JEAN BAPTISTE UOUVET,
one of the Representatives
profcribedin 1793.
ANECDOTE.
MAR.\T, deprived by nature of all
thole qualities which render man beloved
and rclpcClabie in society, lupplied in im
| pudencc and atrocity what he wanted in
: eloquence ami good lenle. When he en
c tered the Flail or* the Convention, he tuft
immediately hit eyes with an air 01 lelf
fatisfaition on the I'peiVators in the tri
' ' bun/". which l'crvcd as a signal to a psn
• cj(h* V )* to break out in
iholit3 of applauie.
Marat Commonly took b»s feat on the
fu'lt bench pppotite the Prefideat, but this
ill-(haped dwarf, who conceived himfell
to be the high priest of liberty, did not
long remain Jn one place; he often moved
triumphant from orte part of the hall to
the other j w her ever a member attempted
to refute the nonsensical arguments, or
combat the ferocious tenets of his party,
there he Sew and overwhelmed his adver
farv with gi"ofs inveilives: If he could
not frighten the eloquent orators from the
tribune by reiterated insults and menaces,
then he gave a signal to his people iu the
tribunes, who dro vntd the voice of his
enemies by a tremendous tumult.
One day during lfnard's Prefidence,
when sortie deputations of Paris demanded
the exclusion of certain members of the
Convention, the deputy Vincent, former
ly a military rfun, had placed himfell on
purpose behind Marat, In erder to hinder
- him from quitting his feat. The conceit
ed friend of the people attempted several
times to ru(h upon the moderates who in
vtighed in the most forcible manner a
gjinft the perfidious machinations of the ,
Commune of Par'u, but Vincent, who
had lain hold of his coat, pulled him as
often back as lie tried to rife.
The extreme conceitednefs of Marat
did not permit him to fuppc fe it pofiible
that any body fiiouid venture to insult an
• iliuiirkxis personage like him ; he afcrib
• eti the behaviour of Vincent to an ardent
• delire of enjoying his company, and en
> tered in a conversation ; he began with
his usual rhapsody on the crimes of the
patty of Statefmcn, \_hommes iTctat~\ but
hardly had he reached the middle of his
vocabulary of inveflivet, when Ifnard in
a solemn manner, invited Tallien, Legen
dre, Freron, Chabot, lientabole, and the
reft of Marat's noisy adherents to refpeift
the fanfluary of liberty : Marat wanted |
now to call the Prelident to order, but be- |
- ing unable to refill the powerful argil- 1
. rnents of his (lout companion, he exclaim
ed, " Ifuard is indeed a very handsome '
T man, but this is all his merit j he affefts '
• the gravity of a Solon, and speaks like a 1
blockhead." " Why.' replied Vincent, t
1 there is certainly a great difference be- (
tween.Marat and Ifnard ; his phyfiogno- j
. rnv bears the damp, of vLmie.~fc> ut tliou
art crime perfonified." Marat, furious
at this remark, broke out in base invec- ,
lives, and went off, laying, " Take care,
I'll mark thy character in such large let
ters on thy back, that every Sans Culotte
(hall cry out, There if a Conspirator."
The deputy Vincent was arretted after J
the 31ft May, 1793, and re-admitted in
■ the Convention after the fall of Robe
' fpierre.

[The following papers we have never

1 A Secretary reid a letter transmitted by ;
1 Isnard from his subterranean retreat which 1
he inhabits these last fifteen months ; he 1
1 desired the Convention to judge him or
to point out a tribunal where he might 1
. prove his innocence, which has not been I
1 tarnished since 1789. 1
> "I do not denund, he said, a repara- 1
f tion of the wrongsl have been overwhelm

contribute to th: welfare of the Re

, he always adored, triumph as they now
e do."
- Note concerning IJnard, Marat, and
i Vincent. 1
e [lfnard was known in the legislative »f-
I fembly as one of the most eloquent and
energetical defenders of liberty agiinft
e the infidiout manotuvres of a treacherous
y court ; re-ele&ed by his fellow citizens
i. of the department of Var (Provence) to
e represent them in the National Conventi
on he diltinguifhed limfelf by an unlhak
[l en adherence to trie principles ; in the
winter of 17911093, when pirty spirit
d was carried to the highest pitch, Ifnard,
d Condorcet, Gregoire and many others of
I the diftinguiftied members of the
1- Convention fook their feats in the centre
e of the hill called the plain and were dif
i- owned by both parties which seemed de
•- termined to facrifiee the interest of the
e Republic to private views and pellonal ran
ir cour. However, Ifnard, chough not en
g raged enough in the opinion of the moun
■r tamers was so far from being fufpe&ed of
c- connivance with the Briffotins that about a
fe month before the revolution of the 31ft
-- May took place, Marat in his execrable
rs journal, which served at ohce for a lift of
is proscription and a letter of recuiamendati- '

enjoyed only a few weeks the l.iifragc o f ,
Marat : the famous petition Q( demand-,
•s ing the excluiion of twenty lwo mom tti
of the Convention was framed by the fe
rocious, Danton, approved of by lipbe
ipierre,. supported by Tallien, Marat, Le
gendre, Ferori, Dubois-Crance, &cI and
prel'ented to the Convention by their ad
" licrents ill the ferSion of Paris.
1 Jfnard, then Freiidont of the Convcn
" tion, reprobated with energy the criminal
1 decilion of Paris, to usurp the lovereignty
" of the French people ; the Maratills a
niong whom were l'orne of the preießt.lea
" dcrs of the moderates, then the molt zeal
" ous abrttors of Robespierre, repref nted
" thepithetical answer whiih Ifnard gave to
' the deputation of Paris, as feroeious, and
inferibed his nartie alia on the lata! lift of
■ proscription, which was for the second
time presented the 31U of ?>lay 1793-
nard depolited inmediateiy his powers as
deputy, as soon as Barrere, organ of the
committee of government, invited the de
nounced members to suspend tlienifelves
voluntarily till the crilis was over : " I
have no will, said he, but that of the
people, and no wilh but for the triumph
of liberty. If my country can be preserv
ed from the horrors of a civil war, I am
not only willing to give up my feat in ,the
Convention, but ready to facriiice every
thing dear upon earth ; my head May fall
if the life of a single citizen can be saved
at that price."
The friends of Ifnard, for he had many
amoug his colleagues, peifnaded lnra a
short time after his arrelUtiori, to fly from
Paris; because innocence was no longer a
fafeguard in the eyes of his perfeeutors ;
and the question was not whether he ought
to die for his country, but whether he
ought to offer his head to a set of men
who were determined to immolate the
marked out vi&ims indiscriminately as
conspirators, in order to cloak their tyran
ny under the mafic of justice.]
Chenier, in hit report on public i nil ruc

cluded as follows : '
" We have ptit into the lift, the ce

of the tyrants had driven him from the

FALMOUTH, (Jamaica) Feb. 18.
ARRIVED yesterday the barque Nep
tune, Miller, from New-York.
The Neptune failed from New-York on
the ltd of D.cemher, and on the Bth of
January, at 3 P. M. fell in with the pri
vateer Point Petre, off the weft end of
Tortuga ; at P. M. the privateer fired
at the Neptune, on which she hove to,
when the Point Petre sent a boat on board
with a prize master and two men, who
ordered her into Port an Paix. As soon
as the Neptune anchored Captain Miller,
received further orders to wait the deter
mination of the French Adminiftratiop, '•
whether or not he fiiouid be permitted to
depart the harbour. Under the mailt of !
trading they compelled him to deliver 100 1
barrels of Hour, 40 of pease, 21 of corn ,
meal, 10 of pilot bread, and about >OOO (
feet of lumber, the value of which (after
a detention of thirty days) they paid, by
forcing him t( take 9 hoglheads of very 1
bad sugar, at the moderate price of nine i
dollars per cwt. It is to be observed they 1
put their own price on the goods taken,
and those given for payment. A mode so (
novel to the Americans will probably
operate as a caution to those who attempt
voyages of this nature with a speculative !
view.

Meflrs. Prinur:,
AS a gentleman of taste, I cannot
help admiring the gr. nd: ur of the au
dience that attended the Mulical En
tertainment last evening at the Tontine.
How enchanting the appearance, how
charming the drtfs, and how divine the
behavior of the Ilndies; harf*yny a»4
sociability were the chaudei illics that
illum'd the company ; equality- was the
ruling objeft of the evening, for, from
the lady of the highejl rani, down to
the tooth drawers wife, they were all
well met.
It was however so fie lamented, "the
caniages that conveyed those heavenly
mujical J.uls, were not all equally ele
gant : Some came in burnished Hnd
gilded duaches .with servants in livery,
that proclaimed to the gazing crpwd
their owners Were-perfoi.,l of no mean
extraction ; others, whose desires wei«
equally bent on feeing the fliow, had to
take paltage in the liar!: mourning veh:~
cle : there was not, however, any one
so "grand but had a competitor, and no
one so mean bcit had its fellow.
