FIRE, Firp, Fire, Help, Help—the town
is on fire—the world's cn fire—we shall all be burnt
up alive—roaded, baked, to make a dinner for
damn'd aridocrats. Stop your mouth, fool;" the

then alarm the town and ditttirb honed people ( orn

to have been ; it is all one ; Firs, Fire, Fire.
Such, and so absurd, is the clarnor raised againll the
lite treaty with Great Britain. The only obnoxi
ous part, the only part againd which the'venom of
fiction is directed, and bv which the public peace f
j.i attempted to be d-cdroyed, is that which is rejected
by the Senate, and which therefore no more forms
a part of the treaty than the Mahometan creed or
the adventure* of Jack the Grant Killer/ But wnat
(,'in appease determined dilcontent ? what ancft
the voice of afuiring Faction ? The clamor is abroad,
ai-.d it will be echoed from Democratic Society to
Democratic Society, through every (late where a
Democratic Society is to be lound ; then die in the
significance ps those who gave it birth.
I will {late a few plain and broad observations,
under which this negociation (liould be candidly
conlidered. i
It fuould be remembered, that when we are treat- (
i:ig with a'gieat and politic nation, (tor such is
Great-Britain, in spite of her milcondnct and cor
ruption) we mult not expeft that our desires arc to
be the terms of negociation—that bccaufe a thing
is for our advantage, tbeiefore it is to be given—
becauf.- inconvenient to lis, therefore rejedted.—
Great-Bsitain has its interells to attend to and
to urge as ivcll as we have ; and if the bed compro
mile of those interetts is made, the belt terms <td- ,
rnitted that the nature of the cafe would give, we (
fhouid be laUsSfd. It i? not but to alk and receive,
lj.it to knock at their ports and have them opened
to us, without an equivalent, without condition or
co..itroul. Certainly it would have been a good
tiling if Mr. Jay could have persuaded the Britilh
Kiiniitry to cede to us the exclusive trade between
1 heir Weft-India jflands and Europe; to have given
us the free use of all their ports without duty or
restraint ; to have given us a million of dollars, or
q.ny thing else you please. But could a man in his
foil It's aflc these things, or would men in their feirfes
Have granted them ? Is it not enough then to (hew
that an article is not quite so convenient or benefi
cial as we could wish, while it is evident we could
not and perhaps ought not to have had it on better
t ims. If Mr. Jay had been treating with a nation
of ideots or children, he might have cajoled the
l> >ur cieatures out of any thing he could have alli
ed ; or if Mr. Jay had been sent to negociate, 01
rather give terms of pardon, to a people vanquilhed
by our arms, on theii knees imploring our mercy,
in t hat cafe too he might have imposed on the fup
pTiatits such terms as conquerors ufuslly give. But
i,i truth he had to deal neither with fo«ls nor sup
pliants, but with a people wile ,!<:d politic, llio'
deluded J with Itatefmeh deep and experienced, tho'
diihonelt and corrupted. It is therefore ridiculous
to expert they could be either terrified or ensnared
by. any man under Heaven into a compait by which
they were to give every thin, 1 ; and icceive nothing.
In (fiort, I profels myfelf fati:.fied with the treaty
as the §ena ft: have ratified it, becaufc- it gives us
rsany and great benefits with as few and small facri
l'.ces and iucouveiikaces as could have been expeited.

SUBMISSION OF STOFFLET. :
The Difcufiion was interrupted by the reading of 1
a letter from the Deputies 011 million in the \\ ell- '
ern Departments. They announced that they had j
completed the re-establishment of peace in LaVen- ,

ty had fubruitled to the laws of the Republic, and 1
had sworn never to bear arms against their country,

MASSACKE AT LYONS-
Matthieu, from the Committee of general Safe
ty, informed the Convention that a commotion had
taken place at Lyons, on the :sth Flereal, May 4.
That the relations of t-hofe who had been put to
death under Ropefpierre, had broken into a house
of aired, and had put to death between 60 and 70
persons. The Wational Guard had not been able to
quell the fury of the people, who cried out, as they
put theprifoners to death, "This man denounced
my father ! This aflaffinated my wife ! This mur
dered my child !" Boifet, the Deputy, harangued
the people, and at length put an end to the infur
reftion.
The Convention decreed, that the Deputies on
million at Lyons, fhouid fend a report of the events
of the 15th Floreal, and that the Committee of Le
gislation fhouid order those aecufed of abuse ps au
thon'ty at Lyons, to be prosecuted.

t L O N D O N, May 16.
* It appeared, in the debate on Thursday, that
the new ellablidunent of the Piince of Wales a
mounted to 35,0001. a year, in salaries only. This
seemed to the House to be a much more exorbitant
t sum than any proposed income could possibly bear;
. and we trust, therefore, that his Royal Highn fs
. will caufeaii immediate reduction to be made in it.
In the debate on Thursday night, Mr. Lambton
1 gave it as his opinion, that no gentlemen holding
j places in any of the royal eftahlifhments, and having
i feats in either House of Parliament, ought to be al
-1 lowed to give their votes during the time they held
a such offices, as it created an undue influence in the
legislature. Much may be said in favour of this
' observation ; but, surely, if Mr. Lambton's argu
ment holds good in one instance it must in another ;
and we fugged, whether, in debating the fubjeft of
the Piince'B debts, any gentleman nuglit to throw
V in the weight of his peifonal influence, who is in
any degree related to those who are very juttly fuf
petted of having led his Royal Highness into ads
of very great imprudence, to use no hardier term.
Vait quantities of dollars arc remitting to Ham
burg for the payment of the Imperial Loan, which
i_ on the Continent, is supposed to be finally ratified ;
f- although this is not the fa£t. A messenger from
Vienna has bee* hourly expefted for the lad three
days.
The oath to be proposed to the creditois of the
Prince of Wales, will be the occasion of many a
demand, lately made, lying dormant for ever ;
for there are some who would lose all character were
they to ascertain the nature of the value they had
0 given for the bonds they have received.
, It is the Jobbers in the Stock Exchange, and
not the Miniflersof tliis country who are making
overtures o! Teace. Those ttvo legged bulls and
bears, ha.e been Raping a plentiful haivcft by re- fa«
ports of tins nature.
The general fafhion of wearing Spencers, reminds /
us of a wager laid by lord Match, that he would be tll(
able to introduce to genera) imitation, the moll hu
miliating falhion he could, think of. Accordingly
he appeared several days fuccefGvely about the Roy
al Exchange, drefled like a livery fetvant. The ii- en
very coitfifted of a blue coat with crimson collar and ot
cuffs ; and he gained the wager.

A revolution has taken place in Persia, which has .
entirely changed the posture of affairs in that kingdom,
and has put Aga Malimed Khan, the eunuch, in the
entire poffeilioii of Persia. Mahmed Khan, the prin- co
cipal Pretender to the kingdom, had kept his rival,
Loffali Khan,i shut up in the town of Kermin for ,
eight months. Well fortified, both by nature and art, j
and provided with provisions and ammunition for two j
years, Kerman might still have held out, but Mahmed j
Khan having corrupted part of the garrison, the gates j
of the town were opened to him in the beginning of , ,
last Odtober. i
We are extremely sorry to state, that the Speaker of |
the House of Commons still remains vtrv much indil- 1
poled. His disorder is the plcuril'y. We doubt v. lie
ther he will be able to attend his duty this day. j
Her Majesty has had a return of the disorder in her -
feet, to which she has been occasionally fnbje<st for je- P
veral years, and which proves more obltinate upon ,
every return. • . ! th
M he generality of people seem to entertain but one
idea refpe<fting a certain personage's debts ; which is, ,
that in times like the present, they cannot afford to
pay those debts for which he never had any value.
Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary, t j|
Friday, Nov. j r 1794-
"We have now an opportunity of giving the sol- p e
lowing particulars of the action of the liohillas on the pi
a6th ultimo, which has been obligingly communicat- at
ed to us in an extract of a letter from camp. w
" The whole line was ordered to be under arms this 0 f
morning an hour before day light. The general and
his ftaff moved to reconnoitre some miles in front; they th
saw the enemy forming in full force, and after waiting ft
some time to judge of the probable disposition they
would take, rede back to camp to direst the arrange- m
ment for aftion. Our army moved forward in one bo
dy ; the artillery Rationed in the intervals of corps; the
cavalry on the right flank j the charge of the enemy th
was most daring and gallant, and it is utterly impossi
ble that it could have been surpassed ; both lines met re
and intermingled j the bayonet prevailed, and our ar
my pursued the enemy across the Doojura Nullah.
The enerhy consisted on a moderate computation of V
15,000 men ; about 4000 of them were cavalry, who re
direfled their whole force against the reserve, and made g
dreadful execution ; the number of the enemy slain was
very great. Our loss in European officers was very as- e <
flifling , Major Bolton was shot after having cut down 0 i
several of the assailants ; his batallion behaved with a w
degree of steadiness that would have done the most |;
disciplined corps in the world honour. ir
" The charge on the part of the enemy was peculiar- ti
ly singular ; they formed in line infinitely beyond the g
extent of ours, in deep wedges, supposed of fifty deep. u
When the signal of our advancing, which was two f (
guns from the centre of the line, was given, we moved* b
in good order slowly forward, at that time about 1200 g
yards from the enemy. They moved towards us ; t :
when both lines had come within about 500 yards, j,
Golaum's people scattered individually, approached in t
that extraordinary manner, and contested the point c
with our bayonets ; they appeared to defpile our mnf- a
quetryj and upon' every discharge tff artillery enibrac- >
ed the ground, inflantly rising and advancing to the
charge; their arms were spears, matchlocks and (
swords, which latter they employed with a deftrufttve t
effect, and their attack, as by universal consent, was j
called the Highland charge. Najeer Khan was killed f
' in the atftion ; Oomer Khan wounded : both these men t
r had decisive influence in Golaum's councils. Another t
> brother of Golaum's is come in this evening, but he 1
> had quitted his brother yesterday. There never was a 1
, more juftifiable war than this, or, at least, there never t
was a grofl'er provocation, or more desire to avoid hof- (
tility. j
[ " Golaum Mahomed, whilst he affefled obedience j
to the Nabob, proceeded without the boundary of the ;
" Rampore DiftrifU; He was told, that when he retired 1
within the limits of his father's jaghire, his story would i
1 be heard with attention, and he was given until this
s evening to comply with that condition ; instead of
which, he advanced posts within mufquet shot of our 1
picquets, and fired upon a party of cavalry Rationed in 1
advance with the piquets ; this intelligence determined 1
theailion, which commenced on Golaum's part, by
opening his artillery at half past nine. Our signal guns -
1 were fired at 35 minutes after that hour, and the ac
tion at the different stages of it. until the enemy were
beaten from the field, in every direflion, lasted till
3 near eleven o'clock, and then the time taken up to
• pursue in order of battle, our army did not reach this
3 place till four or five o'clock, when we arrived on the
banks of the Doojura Nullah. Golaum left the greater
part, if not the whole, of his guns and camp equipage.
The enemy's retreat was so complete that we could not
discover a single horferaan when we got to Nullah ; at
t this time the Vizier's corps, from Berelly,joined.
" The following lift of officers, killed and wounded,
, has been taken from pi ivate letters, which we believe
t to be corredt."
Killed —Col. Burrington; major Thomas Bolton,

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of the 16th Floreal, (jth May.)
Dubois Crance propoled a plan to insure the fubfift
encc of all the great communes, even that of Paris, and
ol all the armies however numerous, without .sluing
an affignat from the national treasury.
This fiujple plan, which he had formerly proposed
to the Conftjtuent Ailembly, is to eltabliih payment*
in the nature of contributions, on the fame foo.nig ?.a
they wpre in 1790. He entered into calculations ci'
various commodities of the firll neeefnty, and oi ilici»-
comparative value in afii-griats, and evidently pt-veflfe
that such a mcalure if heretofore adopted, won.J have
saved the Republic feviral millions.
He refuted the objection* advanced against the mode
of collection, ai d propoled to limit the duration of
this impost to the end of the war. Finally, h« pre
-1 fented it as the only remaining preservative againJl die
dreadful dilapidations which have been ccmnuttcd un
; der every administration.
S After this dilcourfe, the interefling nature of which
precluded all tedioufneis from its prolixity, JUuW»-
Crance presented a series of qucllioiis, of w h.cli he de
manded the reference to the committees t9 make a
fpcedy report —after which he prelented the following
articles of a decree :
j Art. ill. rhe National Convention decreesthatfrom
this time, until the FruCtidor next, all aiTigr.ats of
25 livres and upwards, lhall be carried to the national
; treafurv, the polleflors to receive in return a new im
preffron, after that period those of the'denomination
above mentioned lhall cease to be current, but they
may be employed in thepurchafe of national property
tiil the Germinal next.
Art. id. The proceeds of thefaltsof national pro
perty (hall be deposited in the public treasury, toht ap
plied towards the current fcrvices of the campaign—
at the'end of the year the surplus itiall be burned, as
well as the aflignats returned into the trejfury by me'sus.

money within 3 months.
sth. The aflignats in circulation retain the nominal
value —no person foall be forced to pay in coin rather
than in aflignats.
The afiembly ordered these propolitions to be refer
red to the committee of finance.
17 Floreal, (6th May.)
In the Extraordinary Sitting oi' yellerday Evening,
Vernier was nominated rrefident, several adilre es were
read ; all exprefled felltimeiits of gratitude for the ener
gy and courage fliewn by the Convention.
A member, from the army of the Wellern l'yren.
ees, reported the situation of the Conquered countries,
occupied by that army. The French troops, he laid,
were received in the provinces of Ouipu&oa and Biscay
like brothers and friends, who came lo eltablilh their
independence. We have become poli'efled of the for-
only by capitulation, the voluntary ail of the
garrisons more desirous of admitting, than excluding
us. Already the States of these two provinces had al
fembled, n<u to demand an union with the Republic,
' but to proclaim their independence from the
government and their being placed under the protec
tion of France. But the Reprefeittative Pinet ca(h»
iered the aflemblies of these States, and informed them 1
they were not to give, but receive laws. Pinet did not
confine himfelf to this a& of oppreflion j he arretted
all the priests, and caused them tg be tranfpi rt.d, as
• hostages, to the citadel of Bayonne. Indignant at so
gross a violation of national law, the inhabitants if

I in the Bulletin.J
s The difcuflion on the finances was resumed.
f A Member made a lengthy speech, in opposition te
r the plan presented yesterday by Dubois Crance, and
n contended that the collection of the import was inexe'
i cutable from its nature.
y Dubois Crance replied to all his objections, and
s quoted Switzerland, where ihe lame mode of coileC.-
- ing the impost, was in use.
e He also cited certain provinces of France "where the
II method pointed oql, was formerly purlued with fuc
-0 cess.
is Boifly d'Anglas observed, that ,the projeft of D,
e Crance was not so intimately conneCled with the ge
:r neral fyllem of finance, that it could not be separated j
that it might be advantageously dilcuffed apart, and
>t demanded that it might be referred to the Committee
it of Finances, to report within one decade.
Bourdon de i'Oife, thought the means proposed by
1, Crance well calculated to el'cape certain inconveniences,
e which his penetration enabled him to forefce ; but that
he was very far from expecting the obje£i in contem.
1, platioh would be attained by the means proposed ; an
\u objeCt laudable in itfelf, as it went to redeem a large
] j- amount of aflignats. He therefore demanded the dif
b, euflion might be continued, with a view to the means
3- of cancelling without loss of time, the aflignats now
>h in circulation,
1; Delmas remarked, that there remained little leisure
f. to pore upon the projeCt of Dubois Crance. He de
if. manded that at the next Primidi, the Committees of
Fir.ance and Agriculture, Ihould present a report qn
r- the advantages, and inconveniences infepar.ble- from
1; the proposed method of colluding the' impoft.—D4-
d, creed.
;ij Roux, in the name of the Committee of Public Sn fe
-IJ, ty, informed the Aflembly, that an event very coir..
>i; mon, had retarded the arrival of the proviCons expecl
be ed from Havre ; instead of reaching Paris the preced
ing evening, they were still by the way. Hence it arcfe
that the allowance to the citizens of Paris this morning
was less than usual.
The mal-coments, said he, have already spread a-
j e _ broad, that we are about being replungerl yito a lUte

ia- recently spread abroad, that an embargo had been ii..-
