" Six o clock in the morning to be fcen in the liretts but women and children with pale faces, carrying to thuir refpeiftive habitations the allowance of bread for which they have watched one hfilF the night at the bakers. At 9 o'clock the 1 .fecne io qtsite changed, then you may lee swarms of | stock-jobbers, ha'Umng with bags full us gold anci lilver coins to the palace of equality wjjeve tliey {"pe culate on the fall of Affignats, the Erie or the nati onal domains See. and gain from three to four bun dled per cent in a lingle hour ; from the palace ot e quality, they go to hear the debates of the Nati onal Convention. At two o'clock is the usual hour for ; a'lmoft every inhabitant of thi&t'ity has become a merchant or (hopkeeper and every man of some property has t;«nnsformed his house into aftore where all kinds of merchandizes are foundingreat quantity. Strangers and friends are well received in these houses, the greatest abundance reigns on the tables and the best wine is drank there. Poli tical topics are so rarely touched at tha table, that a body would think the Republic was in peace with all the world. Aftrr dinner it is cuflomary to vi lit the theatres, fifteen of which are daily crowded in such a manner that a little before the beginning ! of tha exhibition, a place is hardly to be found.— The ballets and operas are executed with extraordi nary pomp and fplnndor ; from the theatre they go to gaming houses, where plenty of gold and sil ver is to be seen. At the reftautateur's may have a supper for 50 livres and chufe from among 60 to 80 different dilhes, you have the whitett bread, the best wines, and even what is called deli cacies in such profufion, that you believe yourfclf transported by some magic power into the regions of plenty. The Greek dress among the females is already out of fafhion, they »ow wear a kind of a chcmii'e with a girdle which is wore very high— Tho' the dress of both sexes is very simple it is nfi verthelefs extremely expensive because of the many particular ornaments belonging thereto ; carriages and among these many elegant ones make also again their appearance. All the hotels and even the room| in private houses are filled with people ; llrangert who arrive at Paris are often obliged to run from one inn to another befvre they can find a lodging. In short Paris is Hill now what it formetly was, tie picture of the grealeft abundance contrafled by the greatest want. 34 pr.Csnt. S° - JJ - FROM THE I N. Y.J DAILY ADVERTISER, " The devil is in the fellow," said one democrat to another on reading a number of Camillus, " for I am sure that he is full of sophistry, and yet I can not pofiibly point my lingerto the place." " Ah!" said the other, '-J Jonathan has told us that this wri ter converses with the wicked one, and I now veri ly believe it—what he writes is so like truth, that he can be no other than an anjrel of darknef* trar.f- • jrmed into an angel of light." Just with this con versation I entered the room, and was immediately alked my opinion of Camillus and the confequencc of his writings. Finding that they were extreme ly perplexed, and feiring left their despondency might have a bad effect upon others, I addrefled them nearly in the following manner : " Gentlemen," said 1, " your inability to de tect the errors of this writer is no argument that lie is found. His errors do not consist so much in his pieces, as in the foundation on which they reft.— He takes for granted that the treaty is goed, and then goes about to prove it ; whereas the treaty is bad, and thus his whole fuperllructure mull fall.— He is like a builder, who instead of laying a foun dation and proceeding upwards, begins at the top and works downwards. ' This lalt fentenc* I observed they could not fully comprehend, but it gained their confidence, in me, as one able to explain the whole affair, and [ proceeded thus: " Gentlemen, you alledge that Camillus conver ges with his satanic majesty ; for my part, had Rich ard Brothers mentioned him in his 1 Revealed Knowledge,' 1 should believe him to be the great red dragon, prophesied of in the Revelation, which deceiveth the whole world." To this they seemed to give entire credit, and I concluded with advising them, that if they had 3ny scruples about the bad ness of the treaty, to keep thefn to themselves ; that if they could not read Camillus without dan ger, not to read him at all j and that, above all, they cught torepofe Unbounded confidence in their leaders, who were as infallible as any Pope who ever filled the chair of St. Peter. "In a future number I may difclwfe the secret, who Camillus is, and the import of the name. At present, I (hall only remark, that fomc of my bro ther democrats spell it Camelus, which lignihes a Camel, and they apply these words, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for this author to be right. In this I am inclined to believe, that they arc millaken, and am rather of opinion, that, as it is evident this author can write, that he can also spell and write his name truly. This may require, h«wercr, some difcuflion. Newark Poblilhcd by Benjamin Franklin Bachc. To the President of the States 'S IR, THE proof of ypm fallibility may be dednced not less from the political heresy I have cited, and to which you have given all the fanftion of your name and authority, than from the precipitate and extraordinary manner, in which you have executed the mod important aft of your life, the ratification of the British treaty. How far cabinet intrigue, which fiiuns the light, might have contributed to that irresolution of conduct, in whiclu according to the voice of public fame, having oVrce resolved riot to ratify the treaty, you so quickly revelled that determination, mull reft on future developement. Other circumltances juflify the charge of "precipi tancy and rashness. The Senate adjourned the day of June ; a few days after, the treaty was publilhed, and, it h believed, fey your order, in THE ALARM!—No. Vf FROM THE AURORA, Brotynts eyeuimfgazeUe. This publication, as it invited, lo it produced immediate public discussion. Town-meetings were quickly convened in Bolton, Charleftown, New-York, this City, Baltimore, Wilmington, Charlelloti in South-Carolina, and Various other places ; all of which having tellified their disapprobation of it, and actuated by the com mon apprehension that you would immediately pro ceed to aft upon the treaty, dispatched, by ex pretles, addrefles and petitions, couched in terms of refpcctful decency, requesting and urging you to suspend or withhold your ratification. This, moment seems to have been seized upon by you. cabinet advisers, at the moil precious that could occur, to seal the treaty ; to discountenance, and if possible, to arrell the progress »f public opinion ; to cenfute and insult what then appeared and dill appears to be the major public sentiment icfpe&iug it ; and to invite support from the Btiiifh faitioo and all their adherents thro'out the United States. Accordingly your answer to the town meeting at Bolton, which was the firtt that you gave, appears sure ; insinuating, that under the impulse of sudden und enonedus impreflions they had not conlulted the substantial and permanent interests m{ their :ountry, which, without regard to personal, local ind partial considerations, had unilormly directed four system of adminiftratiei) : Then declaring, hat '* the constitution is the guide which you can lever abandon," you boldly advance the political lerefy, which I have before cited, and conclude his paragraph of your answer, with another infi -1 nation, that yotirfelf and the Senate have fought he truth through the channel only of a temperate ind well informed investigation. In the last para graph you inform them, that you had resolved on he manner of executing the duty be'ore you, and hat to the hig)j responsibility attached to it you Yeely submit ; auth'oritlng them to make known :hofe fentimeßts, as the grounds of your procedure. J Every fer.tence of this extraordinary antwer requires j ind.will receive a particular comment: fraught \itk contradi&ion, and bearing indiscriminate cen-1 urc, equally on those who approved, as thole who : lifapproved the treaty, it carries with it the highelt j ividence of hade, intemperance and paflicn. But | sir, it is my present purpose only to rematk on the particular contradi&ion and indelicacy, arising oat jf two circumstances of your condyft in this buii lefs. The fir ft is, that on the 28th of J:ly, in his original answer to the feledtmen of Bolton, you leclare, that you had then resolved on the imtiner jf executing the duty befere you ; and oh the 14th if August, tha day you ratified the treaty, you ranfmit to the people of Wilmington a copy of :hat original answer as applicable to them. Www, Sir, if there bs truth in the report which has pro bably come forth through some leaky vessel of your idmioiftration, that, at one time, you had resolved lot ta ratify the treaty without some further con ;:flion on the part of Great-Britain than was ad ,'iled or recommended by the Senate, it may be ftferred frotai the tenor of your answer to the peo ple of Bolton of tire 2Sth of July, that you Ud hem so resolved ; and y«t, on the 14th »f August, pin you nulled tl»r ireacy, without iuititer can :effion than was sdvifed by the Senate, you icier he people of Wilmington to the answer you had icfore given to those of Boston ; a circumstance, >ir, which in connexion with what I have before tared, manifeltly involves contradiction and evasion. n the other inftar.ee, in which I (hall remark, I reely applaud, as hitherto I have freely condemned ; >f fending to such portions of your conlhtuents, s, in the exeicife of their constitutional rigjit, had lifapprobated your treaty, the copy of an anfvOer, nd yielding to the weight of public cenfire at a ondmS so improper, you hire now given an ori ginal, and not a duplicate answer, to the ftlefr men ifCharleftown near Boston, published in tie Daily \dvertifer of Thursday.
