Tk: FALL of ROBESPIERRE.
An Ffijlorit Drama —by S. T. C kritige,
of 'Jefui College, Cambridge, Bt's.
THE fall of Robespierre was an event
of th? greatest importance to the affairs
of France, and is a -very proper fubjeil
for the tragic muse. It rfiay, however,
be thought by some to be too recent an
event to admit of that contrivance which
is essentially neceflary in unravelling the
plot of the drama; Indeed, we have been
informed, that the work before us was
the production of a few hour, execeil'e,
and mult, therefore, not be fuf*.e'fcp..fcts.;-*ti-id
■ immediate duty, ihun Uie ir.i>a IpkiahVi |
vi(ion which the imagination may so m
, of distant perfection. This only ia'e
■ guard of moral principle, the republican
philosophers of France uniformly rtrant
• edj they were eyen bigots in infidelity ;
the throne and the altar were equally
obnoxious to them ; and many of the
excesses into which they plunged may
be more properly attri!>iited to then
irreligious prejudices, than to any other
cause. There is nothing but religion
1 that can impart an uniformity to the
moral chara&er. Where expediency is
the only rule of condudl, the human
mind will naturally indulge in too great j
a latitude on some occalions, especially i
where the paflions aie ilrongly intereii- j
' cd. This perhaps, iildeed, is the dif- I
timfiiifhinjr circumstance which msrks
O O
f the two revolution# of America and
of France. The Americans were pos
sessed of a strong sense of religion, inde
pendent of the neceflity of defending
themselves; they could not forget that j
their religion taught them tp love '.heir I
enemies. But the majority of the j
Fiench nation were uninltru&ed in this j
religion, or had rejected its falutaiy re-
Itraints. After all," adds the writer,
in a note, "if we would trace calamity
in France to its source, we mtiit be
forced to confefs, that the flimfy writ
ings of that wietched caviller Voltaire,
have undone that country. ' We eai
neftly hope the example will operate as
a caution to all other governments, and
tc'ach them to beware of permitting,
with impunity, licentious publications. I
Ttiey^HlayTely^iipon it, there are ti» li
bels so dangerous to a Jlate, as those agaittfl
God. We venetate, and ever (hall ve
neiate, the cause of religious toleration.
Every feci which ailnoivledges a future
slate of rewards and purjfhments, is in
noxious, if not refpeftable. But ifthis
great foundation of molality is removed
there can be no dependence on tiie
principle or integrity of a people. Let
the horfleys and the Prieftleys freely in
dulge themselves in verbal contefti
tells concerning the disputed points of
theology ; but let every impious fcofler
who presumes to aim his deltrmfti'e
(hafts at any of the great dochinesofl
religion, be severely punished, and his j
writings ftriftly prohibited. Until this I
is the cafe, no government can be fafe,
nor will it be poflible to maintain order,
or even common honelly among men."

and documents exhibited, together with l h

cannot be held afilie conclulioiv, to con

one period, with the Briiifli i„ Sew
t O-k at another. On the ahove prin
ciples, among others appealing to me,
legnl, c.«'r«,rand ofeHgatwy on me, as
the judge of a Bfitllii court, have I
condemned the property of those neu
tas, who, as I conceive, had clearly
aided his majdiy's enemies, ..rid by fur
nifhing them with articles, the molt
efl'entia'ly nCceiTary, b:;ve thereby the
better enabled them to carry on ihe
war againlt his Britannic inyjelty, and

It is now averted, and with.some
fciphlance of tunh, tb-t neuters trading

I has not yet reached this court) do, at
this time, fuller neuters, so trading, to
pais iinmolellcd, a'tho' t<> their know
ledge bound to, or coming from the
ports afurefaid ; I do, tlierefiirc, for fr:e
removal ot Tny present doubts, and to
the end that solid and impartial j-i ft ice
may be atlminrltered, think it prudent
to defer a final sentence, or such as in
this cafe might have the face of one,
until evidence immediately from, or au
thenticated by his inajefly's officers com
manding in chief at the aforcfaid island
of Hifpanrola (hall be obtained, hereby
granting and allowing 90 days from the.
date heieof, for procuring fui-h official
&' authentic information in the prcmifei
as this coi.rt may derm fatisfaiforj.—
And I do, by this my interlocutory
order, further- direct, that the aforebid
schooner, so called llie Betfcy, with
her boats, tackle, apparel and furniture,
together with ail and Angular her cargo
and lading, be delivered to the claimant ;
he, the fa id claimant, trrft giving good
and (ufficient iecttrity for the laid pro

ot this court ; and in cafe the claimant

LA VENDEE.
WHATEVER may have heen the ter
mination of the efforts of La Vendee, they
have been i'uth as to immortalize the narr'e
of the Difiriet, antk of the heroes who
have there distinguished thefmcives. If is
proper that The Siik fllould record t»! .m.
When the Confiitnent affirnhly par. pi
led out the Provinces of France, the
names of the new divisions were (ought hi
the Geography of the countries that were
divided. It was then that the little river 4
of Vendee, muddy, marshy aud hit! c r'.o
unheard of, obtained a place in the Na i
onal Records, and gave its name to the
ditiriit which it watered. This divifron,
lit'lated on the soUth of the river Loire,
and in the province heretofore ca'Jed Poi
tou, is a rugged and difficult country^"co
vered with thick woods, interspersed with
deep morafles. Such is the famous La
Vendee; impregnable even to C.iebr,
fr4m the nature of its foil and the iAfiinate
valor of its peopbi and still equally avcr.e
to tyranis, though fighting in the n me of
the Republic.
The loyalty of the inhabitants has no*
its name to immortality, H'
rendering; it-proverbial, ftnceevtjy (iaring
union of invincible heroes, faitlru! toll.err
God and their king, and ten ible to their
enemies, will henceforth be cai.eu a n w
La Vendee.
Before tfceir inflirreflion, the peafu '
of this diftritfl never adopted the oprtnoil
generally current in Ir'ance. Ncv»r d.d
