B -\VE present our readers this day with
I tc f Citizen Talley rands defence, on
■!* ihe unfortunate for him, if none of
Will vw
■* bfervations fliould contain more truth
■ . not to aflert that the American En-
I ' r , r » -/hiallv in France, at a moment
■ : ;, nW e well know, and lie mull have
■ jj uvvn that they had not left their own
I o ,jn fr y—he has however adopted a meth-
I od not'new, nor always ineffectual in Pa-
B p—that of retort, or recrimination—he
I jccufcs his accusers of malice, envy and
I the bn ft ft designs—whether th s will assist
I in bringing off the Ex-Bishop, time will de-
I terffiine. Probably he would feel more
9 pieafantly situated were he quietly exer-
I dlinq the offices of a more humble station,
I when his want of honesty or sincerity
I would engage less general attention, than
1 to be compelled to answer the accusations
I c f a nation who usually, accuse but to
I comltmn,and frequently inflift punishment
I previous to enquiry.
■ THE Secretary-general La Garde,
I iesto private purposes. As he is an offi-
I cer in the service of the “ Virtuous Re-
I public” of France, where perfect equali-
I ay, equality of rights—of property —and
I even almost of external appearance has
I been imagined to exist, it may be a matter
I timerated fu ms charged against this modest
I “Republican Officer.” Frifon Rated to
I ry-general La Garde, amounted one year
I with another, to a sum not less than from
I *b' to 7y° oo livres, exclusively of houfe
rert, necessaries, and equipage. The em
beilifliments and repairs made by his own
orders in his apartments, had cost the Re
gti'wc more tharf 150,000 livres. His
houtehold expences, his carriages, and
fever,teen horses, fix of which belonged to
him, and the rest to the Republic, and his
tabie ulennls, amounted every year at an
average to nearly 35,000 livres.
“ I HAVE now,” continued Frifon,
“mentioned abuses, but I have still to ex.
pefe the dilapidations of this creature, agent
and Jpy to the Triumvirate. He has fur
niihed his house at Surennes in the molt
kiperb and elegant manner, at the nation
al expense. He is at once proprietor of
the Journals Le Reda&eur and Defenfeur
dela Patrie, under the name of Gratiot,
his colleague in iniquity. It has been fat
isfaftorily proved, that even in the 4th year
of the Republic, La Garde, under the firm
of the Printing-house, robbed the nation,
°f 485 livres in affignats, 248,333
1:vr «s mandats, and 28,038 livres in
, specie, exclusively of 23,000 more, which
"as an exorbitant charge.” Frifon con
fided with demanding, that his obferva
t! °ns hae referred to the proper committees.
Agreed to. His speech was ordered to be
printed; th e abuses complained of were
-ned to the committee charged with
fquirmg into the expenses necessary for
’E- service of the Bth year, and La Garde’s
‘lapidations were referred to the commit
“•e inflitmed under that head.
L A GARDE denies the truth of part
c the above ftatement—’particularly as to I
|'‘ e <• ach horses, he fays he has only seven
f -tad of eleven—and which number he
‘•■disallowed bylaw—as to the other
X f ence3 * le % s fomeare exaggerated, and
fliers leva! b
noticed several recent in
r, ! ’f ‘ke improper conduct of some
th t °^ C£rs 0i Pritifhnavy—we trust
a.rufeof American seamen has not the
t —but
Jt tae vi Hainous praaice is continued,
£ C ,°', S t 0 U 3 in language not to be difre
f•, to prepair ourselves, and be in rea
dinefs, to vindicate our own rights— and
to repel any insults that may be offered us,
from any quarter whatever.
WEhavefeen several accounts of the
efficacy of Yeast in putrid diseases, and in
some instances a table fpoonful of barm
diluted in spring water, given every hour
with a decoction of bark, has produced
the happiest success.
A MAJOR M‘FARLAND, of Ha
verhill has conftrmted a machine which
he deems a ufeful invention, its object be
ing to produce health and amusement. It
is called the federal balloon, and is
so constructed by means of an axle, {hafts,
and four boxes, in the form of sleighs, ca
pable of holding two persons each and
turning on swivels, as to carry round from
two to eight perfens, in perfect fafety and
with any degree of velocity, in a circular
sweep of from thirty to forty feet.
THIS Balloon not perhaps so bold in
design as that of Blanchards, may no doubt
prove as ufeful—we think it might not
improperly be called the Republican
Whirligigg—the riling and falling in the
balloon might naturally impress an idea of
the rapid revolutions of the French govern
ment, and any individual by experiencing
the circular whirl for one hour, with half
l he rapidity of a cannon ball at its firfl
difeharge, would no doubt have his brain
fufficiently revolutionized, and poffcfs al
the real giddiness of a disorganizing demo
crat.
A Mr. Isaac Williams of Connec
ticut, who has for some time indulged hh
equality principles in Privateering againfi
his fellow-citizens of the United States,
had the modesty lately to pay a visit to hb
friends in New-London, where immedi
ately on his arrival he was waited upon b\
some of the officers of the place, and in
vited to a tete a tete conversation before a
Magistrate, by whose direction he was es
corted to the public goal, and on Friday
27th ult. we understand he was politely
attended to the circuit Court of the Unit
ed States held at Hartford, where the re
sult of a fair and public investigation into
hisconduct was, a Sentence to eight months
imprisonment and a fine of two thousand
dollars.—Be ore the fame Court Mr. Holt,
editor of the Bee, printed at New-London.
is taken for trial for publifliing a Seditious
piece in his paper, opposing the recruiting
service, &c.

**> However competent the writer of
the piece sent us under the signature of L.
or Z. may he in his own estimation to de
cide on the qualities of men, he appears
to us erroneous in his opinions—but his
merely differing in opinion from us,would
not prevent our publishing his observations
did tve not think them improper in other
refpe£h. Tfiofe who are disposed to a*
bufethe dead—and insult the living—and
who in censuring the character of a deceas

his acquaintance” must seek some other
vehicle for conveying their sentiments to
the public than the Augusta Herald.
We are sorry to communicate the news
of the death of Captain Henry Croffle of
