IT would be enough to tiifcaurage the«>;7 one Miufelf to find his own fide turn against him. If the prince of Soot (hould fee, as he«dc»ubtlefs will, the Aurora of the nth, yes, reader, the Aurora, flatting with zeal for religion and the churches,, would not his llout heart fink and grow sick with discouragement ? No, it would not. For in the fame paper, he would enjoy the fight of the adver tiienynts of the French Calendar, end the Age of Reason. Pray, Mr. Fenno.'did not this fame Au rora, a year or two before its late religious qualm, contain some abusive paragraphs because a rsfpeCta ' Me clergyman prayed that error and irreligion might not be permitted to pr«vailin France ? COMMUNICATIONS' THE French Jacobins may poflibly exceed the American in the praCtice upon their principles, such as palling sentence on good etiates as ariiloerats, and . eonfiicating them, chopping off the owners' heads, See. Our's indeed are yet at their Itffons, and as things wear a bad face for their party at present, they may not leave the midnight fchosl and begin their experiments for some time. But for incon fiftcney in Hating their reafous, £o as to veer with the wind round the thirty-two points of the com- : pass, and yet always pointing again (I government, ' and forfuch adamantine confidence in their lies that 1 truth and detection cannot pierce through, our Ja- ' • cobins leave those of Paris far behind. The jour nal of Marat, or that of the Pert du Chene him- 1 felf, never equalled the Chronicle of Boston for ftandingto.a falfehood after it was found out. The 1 Aurora is supported with more sense and originali- 1 ty—and therefore is not fa often and so (hamelefs- 1 ly falfe. But when has a more audacious falfehood 1 been told, or tlood to more hardily, than that which ' chargsd a certain member with calling the people c an ignorant herd. Another member, a man of J x sense and honor, eontraciCts it in print. Still the Aurora (licks to it. For the Aurora, a lie well * ftodd to is as good as the truth. Examples are not 1 1 scarce. a THE inconsistency of our Jacobins is admira- a ble. Their cry was, till lately, the people ought < to ( be obeyed. Why will a junto in the government j 0 refill the voice of Gad and the people? No sooner J '< did the people really speak, than the abuse i 3 thrown c upon.them as plentifully as lately on the govern- tl ment, tories, dupes, &c.

April 29, 179$* m " I ft ill retain my former opinion, that the'people cc of this flats are r.ot opposed to the treaty with Great re Britain : and, that the voluminous debates, many of f which lavour more of the logic of the Schools, than | .' the eloquence of thefeaate, have wrought no convic- j rl tion an their ininds, however they may have been cal- 1 culated to confound the underftantjiiig.
