Bv James Iredell, one of the AlTjciate Justices of

{ Pub'iih-'(1 at the request of the Grant! Juries to "whom
it was relpeckively addreff'd.)
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury,
YOU being now allembled to tidcharge one of the
molt awful and important trusts which can be execu
ted in any Couuti y, particularly in one which enjoys
(he hifhe'lt (lure of rational liberty of which' perhaps
human nature is capable, I douot not vou are lutti i
ently imprelTed with a sense ot the great tntcrrft which |
your Country has lit a uue perloi mance'oi it. in'vain
are laws made if an obedience to them is not enforced*
In vain have the people chosen their own conltitutions
of government (as well general as particular) if the
governments eltabiftied under them are not iuomiued i
to. 11l vain does government ait one way, if the indi
viduals by whose authority collectively that govern
ment was instituted, or a conlidenble portion of them
act another. Common fcnlc, as well a, common jul
tice and the 1 owe it notions of republican government,
revolt againH. the absurd idea that when once a majo
rity conttitutionally authorilcd ha,> palled a law, which
all'are bound to obey, any may disobey with impunity.
Courts of Jultice, therefore, are established to pun:111 a
I difobedicnce to all such laws is are obligatory on all
the citizens, in order that the common will of the
whole community, when collected in a conititutional
manner, may be truly and not nominally carried into
execution, whatever may meet with from
weak or wicked members of the community who may
difre-'ard the will ot the whole when it coraes into
competition with tl.eir partial or indiltindl views, their
interclts, their paflions, or mil'chievous designs of any
fort, if such lhou'.d be entertained by any.
But, gentlemen though it be thus obviously ntcefliry
that an obedience to the law s of our country be enforc
ed, yet the manner in which it is to be done is a consi
deration of extreme moment to the happiness, the secu
rity, the peace of mind of every citizen. The suspi
cions which are often unjustly cast upon the belt men
the jualoufy with which a great part of mankind view
the conduit of each other, the envy of some the ma
lice of o'hers, the two great readinel's in all to mdulggj
their paflions, when not checked by a powerful ienif
of dirty operating flrongly Oil their confcicnces, —all
these circumstances, the reality of which i„ well known
to every man, —indispensably require, in a land of li
berty, that prosecutions Ihouli not be too rashly under
taken, that they fnould be undertaken with dlibcrati
ca and folcmnity, that they Ihould be undertaken im
partially, being " no refpetter of persons," and that
their fo'le object (hould be the security and interest of
the community at large, disdaining every conlideration
of private favour or iil wiil, asalike incompatible wiih
the eternal principles of jultice, and the sublimity of
those principles of freedom which regard with an
equal eye the ticiieft and the pooreit, the most power
ful and the molt weak, the belt befriended members
of the community, and those whose I'ole protection,
under God, is the jultice and humanity of the commu
nity itfelf. To attain an impartiality so just and so
defii-able no institution can be better calculated than
that of a Grand Jury, composed, as it usually is (and
always ought to be) of a feleil number of rel'pestable
and difinterelted' members of the community, fcle&ed
for a fingla time only, and who may justly be prefum.
Ed to have no vievs .but to promote the interest
and happiness of their common country. From such
men innocence has every tiling to hope, and guilt every
thing to fear, and their country at large every bleflang
to expect that can flow from a Heady, upright, and
discerning adminillration of criminal jultice.
This duty, gentlemen 1 am perfuaued you will per.
form with the greater cheerfulnefs from a recolledlion
of the your country has attained in confe
quente of the sacred regard which it has paid to the
principles of jultice both public and private, and which
hath afforded an illultrious proof of the value of genu
iue liberty, which it founded on the bafts of law and
order and cannot exilt without them. It's true mean
is undoubtedly lixed between anarchy and tyranny,
the two extremes which all rational governments have
to guard againlt, and which I trull, are fufiiciently
guarded againlt by ours, if the people (as 1 doubt not
they will) cordially lupport the governments of their
own formation. A glorious evidence of this has indeed
lately been given which will aftonilh most other nati
ons in the present age, and perhaps be felt in its effeifts,
[ as well as ad.nired in it's example by generations yet
| to come.

' i Prairial, May*2o, Continued,
As soon' as the uufostuuate Fcrrand had been
massacred, and his head brought on a pole into the
Hall, an imm'erife crowd burst in and filled all the
benches and tribunes. Some words were spoken
by the president, which, on account of the tumult
thai raged on all fids, could not be heard. It was
ftfppofed, however, that they related to. a suspensi
on of the fitting; for the greater par. p'f the depu
ties rose, and with difficulty retired out of Uie
Hall. The infurgenta had now gained a complete
victory, and the Gendarmes were forced k> with
draw. This v.'jis betwceij four and five o'clock in
the afternoon.
" From this moment," fays the editor of Le
B.itave, " the National Representation ceased to
exist, and a band of fu:ies had taken pofl'effion of
the augult, and hitherto facrcd place, alotted
the Legislators of Twenty-Five MJlions «f Men."
From five o'clock till ten the greatell disorder
reigned, and on.account of the numerous leaders
(if the infurgerits, there was no co-operatiou among
them. They Hill, however, kept pofleffior of the
Convention. During the short intervals of fiUnce
the Tocfm was heard ringing in various parts ot
Paris, and the Generate was beat. A few depu
ties, however, Hill kept their feats in the Con»en
tion, and the venerable Vernier remained in the
President's chair, calm amidll the tempclt, and un
moved amidlt tlie general storm. A motion was
made by one of the insurgents about ten o'clock at
night, that such of the deputies as were present
should rcfume their deliberations.
The deputies -exprefled their w:llingncfs to de
liberate, and a corner of the hall was cleared for
their reAption. Bourbotte, Duroy, Duquefnoy,
Rammc, and Goiigeon, particularly dillinguifiied
themselves by some llrong speeches against the per
feeutors of the Jacobins. Motions were made and
paired, to set at liberty all the deputies who had
demanded the Appeal Nominal on the 2 ill Germi
nal, on the arrelt of Barterc, to repeal the decree
tfor disarming the Terrorists: to release the citizens
|aken up for their political opinions since the 9th
Thermidor; to reorganize the committee of ge
neral fafety, and to seal up the papers of all the pre
sent members of the committee. The following
members were voted by acclamation to compofc tlie
new committee of general fafety :
Bourbotte, Duqusfuoy, Duroi, and Prieur of
Mar ne
After these decrees had been palled, Komme
mounted the tribune, for the purpose of reading
them to the insurgents.
Bourdon of Oife, who had just xetuined to the
hall—" What are you going to do ; read these
detetlal.le decrees —I oppol'e the passing of any de
cree now. The National Convention ceaies at tl is
moment to exist."
Down with him ! down with him ! was heard
on all hdes of the hall. The decrees were then
read and loudly applauded. A gieat number of
the insurgents now quitted the hali.
Boifly d'Anglais tojk the President's chair. A
tumult was heard at the extremity of the hall, and
the drums wcie heard M the door of the Convention.
The insurgents were alarmed. An immenfccrowd
of citizens in arms entered the hall with Legendre
at their head. They exclaimed " Long live the
National Convention. Down with the Jacobins."
The insurgents formed thcmfelvcs into a line to re
lilt. They were attacked by the armed citizens,
and a conflict ensued, in which fume lives were loft.
At length the insurgents were totally diiven out of
the hall, ahd the deputies who had accompanied
the citizens resumed their deliberations, and imme
diately annulled all the deciees that had been pafiej.
The commandant of the armed force was called
in, and ordered to take the proper meafurei to de
fend the National Reptefentation. The greatest
part of the armed citizens, from an impulse of re
fpeft, retired out of the hall, declaring that they
would watch rouud the Conuention till older was
perfectly rellored.
The Convention then declared its fittings perma
nent. Motion was made to'arreft Bourbotte, Du
quefnoy, Duroy, Prieur of La Marne, Rommly,
Soubrany, Gougeen, *nd Albite the elder.
The Convention, however, ordered only three
viz. Bourbottej Duquefnoi, and Duroy, to be ar-
rested.
The Committees of Public and General Safety
were ordered to give an hourly account of the Itate
of Paris.

PARIS, May 10.
All the friends of the Law are grieved at the affair
which happened at Lyons. Should private vengeance
against an assassin become lawful from the obiliuate and
absolute neglefl of public juflice, it never tan be just
that any man should be a.[affiliated when groaning in
irons. Bad as he may be, this is a cowardice which
no man dares to vindicate. The indignation so
great against the prisoners, who had been concerned in
some pad cruelties, that iltho'the peoplerricd i.i-vetht
Republic, they still compla'ned of tiie delay of juftico.
The affair has been 'represented in the Convention,
and Matthieu proposed that some official account
£hould be transmitted, that the offender* Aiould be ap
