LONDON, September i. I
A lett«* from Avranshes brings tile following i
intelligence : ; .
«« Terrorism prevails more than ever in thisdif
trift. The treops which pass and repafs, commit a
- the Came horrid exoeffes which distinguished the c
reign of the Deaemvirs. The generals and other 1
officers, in the midd of universal didrefs, display 1
scandalous luxury, and the raoft infalting extrava- s
gance. Some of them are not ashamed of parad- c
ing the country on superb coursers, followed by a f
dozen of attendants, equally well mounted. i
« The Jacobins have only changed their name. I
Prcforibed under their furmer appellation, which t
hi'.d, Tcry justly, become infamous and odious, they [
have become soldiers, and have enlisted iu the bat- t
talions which are stationed in thU quarter. Some <
of them have obtained commissions; others are cor- t
porafs; and others are eommiffaries, employed in <
hunting whatever they please to diftinguilh by the I
denomination of Chouan». Eveiy day 150 vulun- I
teer3 are in motion. A company, composed of .
the mod determined rogues which the country eould
supply, accompanies them in th«ir march headed
by a known terrorid, narriad Gauchet, the worthy
pupil of Carpentier, 1 Cameleon, who has been
fucccflively a monk, an attorney, a fsldier, a par
lon, and a eommiffary.*'
" If these gentry obferre a house that bears ?.n
appearance the least decent, or even a cottage,which
afford* any profpeft of plunder, they immediately
exclaim—Chouans ! The house is instantly sur
rounded, and the sabre and bayonet applied to the
bosom of the unfortunate occupier, who i* com
pelled to unlock all his drawers, while the rsfcals
fei»e upon his money, his linen, and other effr&s :
they then Tifit the cellar, dart all the calks, and get
drunk in the midst of the deluge which they them
selves have occaiioned.
" Nobody can travel without a paflport, figntd
by two witnefTes, who anfwjr for tlicii civilm, and
confirmed by the dittnCt."
September 8.
By a cartel from Bred we learn, that the crew
of the Montagne of 120 guns, arrived at that
port from I'Orient, and gave an account, that that
beautiful ship had by some means, got on a reef of
lharp rocks near I'Orient, from whlsnce it was hard
ly peflible (he could again be got off, as by rolling,
the rock# had perforated her bottom ; and the fca
flows and ebbs in and out of her every tide : fhc was,
by all accounts given of her, the firft Ihip in the
French navy, and is sow by neglect supposed to be
rendered unlit for any futther service.
, SAINT MAKING;
A ceremony unabolifhed in the 18th century 1! 1
From Rome, August 8. It appears that on the
preceding Sunday, his holiness, attended by several
efßeers of didindtion, went to the church of
Bonaventura, where he was received bv the Cardi
nals Archintoand Brafchi, and the superiors of that
Convent. The Pontiff, after the celebration ( of'
M?ki J Pjf?SfufHsV , .Port lAaurice. He went into the
apartment where the monk died, and with the af
fi dance of the Cardinals, and aiher officers and pre
htes, published the decree of beatification and
cannsnization of Father Leonardo, with the ap
probation of two miracles, wrought throagh the
intercession of this deceased faint. The reading of
this instrument being finilhe*, a marble (tone, with
a suitable infeription was produced- The Bishop
of Cervia also preiented his holiness, with the i
dentical Crucifix, which the deceafid father used
to carry with him upon his millions, with a piece
of carved work, intended to decorate the chamber
they were in, and representing the conversion of
a shies of a Corficati banditti, cffcited by the vene
rable missionary.
After this, to fini(h the ceremony, the pontiff
went to the cell when: thjVSaint was visited by
'Pope Benedict XIV, being confined with a lame
leg which his power of working miracles was in
capable <?f curing !

A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS the great creator and preserver
of the univetfe is thefupreme sovereign of nations,
and does, when and as he pleases, reward or punish
them by temporal bleflings or calamities, according
as their national conduct recommends ihem to his 1
favor and beneficence, or excites hisdifplctfure and
indignation.
And whereas in the course of his government he
hath graciously been pleased to Thew lingular kisid
nefs to the people and nation, of which this Kate is
a conftitueat member, by protediing our ancestors,
in their firft cftablilhmerils in this then savage wil
derness—.by defending them againd their enemies
—by blessing them with an uncommon degree of
peace, liberty and fafety, and with the civilizing
light and influence of his holy gospel—by leading
us [as it were by the handj through the various
dangers and difficulties of the late revolution, and
crowning it with fut.-efs'; by giving us wisdom
and opportunity to establish governments and inlli
tutions aafpicious to order, security and rational
liberty ; by preserving us from being involved in
■the wars and other grievous calamities which at this
moment afflict and didrefs many nations ; by ref
toiing peace between us and the hoflile Indians
who insetted our borders ; by condantly favouring
us with fruitful seasons j and in genera], by giving 1
ui a greater portion of public -welfare and profpe
ritjr, than to any other people.
Ar.d whereas it hath pleased him, by permitting
sickness to prevail and be fatal to the lives of many
.in our principal city, and in sundry places in this
Jand other dates, and ,by the extensive alarms and
1 ambarr aliments which attended it, to remind us that
prosperity and adversity are in his hand ; and that
[iu all our pursuits we are to remember, that he is
the cause and giver of all the good that was, that
is, or that will be. And "whereas our Almighty
lorereign, in addition to his othir mercies, hath <
Utely ftiyed the h*ad of tkc dedroying angel, and
by thus manifeftinjj and multiplying his beneSti to
us as a people, calls upon us as a people to matii
felt our gratitude to him : ,
Wherefore, and particularly on this occasion, it
appears to me, to be the public duty of the people
of this ft a: i'collectively coafidered, to render unto 2
him their sincere and humble thaiiks for all these '
his great and unmerited mercies and blessings. And '
also to offer up to him their fervent petitions to 1
continue to us his prote&ion aud faror. To pre
serve to us the undisturbed enjoyment of our civil
and religious rights and privileges, and the valua
ble life and ufefulnefs of the President of the Uni
ted States. To enable all our rulers, councils, and
people to do the duties incumbent on-them respec
tively, with wisdom and fidelity—to promote the
: extension of true teligion, virtue, and ; j
. to give us all grace to cultivate national union, con
-1 cord, and goodwill; and generally to bless our na
: lion ; and all other nations, in the manner and mea- |,
. sure moll conducive to our and their bed intertftr
F and real welfare.
1 Whether the governor of this state is vedej
1 authority to appoint a day for these purposes, and
- to require and enj»in tlig obfcrvance of iV, is a quef
-1 tion which circumstanced as it is, I consider as be
. ing more proper for the legidature than for me t«
decide. But as the people of the state have cou
-1 ft 11uted me their chief magistrate, and being per
-1 fiflly convinced that national prosperity depends,
and ought to depend on national gratitude and
. obedience to the fuprenae ruler of all nations. I
; think it proper to recommend, and therefore I do
- earnestly recommend to the clergy and others my
1 fellow-citizens throughout this state, to set apart
: Thursday the twenty-ninth day of inft.
t for the purposes afarefaid, and to observe it actord
- ingly.

If it were possible to devclope the motives which

be found to be very variant from thofc which go

who being Republicans from habit and principle,
wagtd war with their appreffors and not with pri
■vate contracts ! I mud beg leave to decline yourin-
vitatioa for the two following reafans:—Firltly,
' beceufe I have no euriofity to prey into your af
far»—And Secondly, because in a moral point of

if you can assign any other fatisfaftory reason for

'f Mr. Fenno,
OF all projedts for raising money, that recently
adopted by Mr. Randolph appears to be the moil
ingenious. In the firft place, lie makes certain
- V " precious confrjfions" and " overtures," which t ho'
e very interesting t# rhe people of the United States,
were certainly attended with no expence to himfelf.
He next religns his office, in a critical stage of the
- public affairs, and makes a journey of parade to
visit the ex minister of France : ,011 his return he
publifhcs several extraflsof letters written by him
■felf, all tending to induce honed people to fufjeft
S f that he has been gutlry of some deviltry. A " c-w
---folatory transformation" of the truth is then diftii
buted privately through the country, of which
, r vague reports are circulated- After the public eu'-
s riolity has been excited to the highed pitch to
know the meaning of tKefe strange movements, a
rr pamphlet which"is to contain a vindication of them,
!is promi.vd to the public : But. mark ! th: copv
, tight is secured to the' publifbcr ! ! It would be
folly to lizard any other prediction upon the iffje
e of this piojeft, than ihat the author is likely ta
1 feil his character at its full value. The profit* of
i this operation, however, have very probably been
overrated, as the oj-pofei s -of " immoral taxation"
1 may justly coaiider this mode of raising money as
8 an Encife, or whst is dill worse, a dire a tax upon
f this new. invented manufadlure. If this fhogld jn- !
v deed happen, rauft we have another infurreftion i
, If so, who is to ftipprcfa it ? Y.

Mr. FENNO,
1 The following Toasts drank by the Mader 'Sail

s of this morning, as unimportant, viz :
" May the promoters of Wars be faddlcd with
3 the expences of them.
r " May the Societies of America be the nurseries
; of virtue, benevolence and true Repuhlicanifm.
" A Bolt rope Cravat to the Infringer of the
Rights of the People."
; The reason why these were omitted in the Aurora
r is obvious, the fint touchei all the demagogues of
1 America.
I The second is a (kit at the vicious resolutions
and conduit of several Societies who call thcmfelv.s
Republicans.
1 The lad alludes to the condu& of those who
would make the minority in the Senate, superior
to the majority, contrary to the Conditution, and
