Savannah , 22<f March , 1798.
. From Gifford’s Answer to Ebskine.
* TT was doubtless under this impression that you devot-
I ed no less than three pages to a dissertation the objeft
of which is to lbew the absurdity of iuppofing that the
Christian Religion was exposed to any degree of danger
from the French Revolution, and the principles which its
votaries proclaimed. This is a fubjedt of too serious and
important a nature to be difeuffed with levity; I give im
plicit credit to your profeflions of attachment to the religion
of Christ, and have not a doubt that you privately prac
tice what you openly profefs; but I mull contend that you
are wholly ignorant of the proceedings which have patted
in France, not only on many political, but on all religious
topics; for you really reason like a man who had just a
wakened from a seven years sleep.
“ Had you paid that close attention to the French re
volution which could alone enable you to judge of its prin
ciples and eflefts, you would have known, that, on the
14th of December, 1792, in a debate on the eftablilhmeut
of public schools for the education of youth, M. Dupont,
a Member of the National Convention, and who, if I mif
t?,ke not, is now a Member of one of the Councils, liegan
his speech with the following exclamation——“ What,
thrones are overturned! feeptres broken! Kings expire !
andjet the altars of God remain /’’——That he proceeded
to propole the abolition of those altars, and proclaimed
himfelf an Atheijl, amidst the reiterated plaudits of the As
sembly, and that of the persons in-tke gii .ries: You
would have known that the blasphemous tbclrine, that
u Death is an eternal seep,” was {auctioned by the au
thority of the Legiilature:—You would have known that,
by tlie fame power, the abolition of the Christian era was
proclaimed, and the Savior of the World impiously made
to yield precedence to the Republic of France!—You
would have known that, on the 7th of November, 1793,
the exigence of a God , and the immortality of the foul,
■were formally disavowed in the Convention, and the refur
redtion of the dead declared to have been only “ preached
by Superfition for the torment of the living!” You
would have known that, two days after, in the lame place,
all the religions of the world were atterted to be the daugh
ters of Ignorance and Pride ; that it was decided to°he
,l the duty of the Convention to affnme the honorable office
of dijfufng truth over the whole earth and that, as
R part of this duty, the Attembly decreed , “ That its ex
press renunciation of all religious worlhip ftiould” .’ike its
invitations to rebellion —“ be tranjlated into all foreign
languages You would have known that it was Hated,
and recei’.el in the Convention, as “ an acknowledged
truth, that the adversaries of religion have deferred
well of their country:" —You wot* have known that
the temple of the Almighty had been profaned bv the
worn up of a proftkitte, perforating tlie God-dcfs of Rea
son, and that the cathedral of Paris had exhibited the
monstrous fpe&acle oi a pagan facriiice by a people who
had recently abolished Chriftianity:—And lastly, you
would have known that, on the 30th of November,'l 793,
the pupils of the new.republican fehool appeared at the bar
ot the Convention, when their leader declared—l flmdder
wlule I commit the horrid blasphemy to paper—that “He
AND HIS SCHOOLFELLOWS DETESTED God! that, inficjd
oj learning the Scriptures, they learned the Dcclara
u'r °K R % bt f and made th * Gonjlituticn their Cate -
Cbi & ; an r L he Prdldent of tliis Pandemonium ex
preiled the fattsfaftion of the Convention at the declara
tion they had made; the young demons were admitted to
the honors cf the fitting, and received the kiss offra
tertuty, aniuljl the loudef applause !! !
“ When you are apprized of these fuels I think you
I*.ll acknowledge that the apprehensions which you repro
bate were not without foundation. CbrilKanky is, I
know, eftabhihed on too firm and broad a basts,, is derived
trom a source too aacred, to be easily shaken; but, forty
lam to lay that the progress of Infidelity is rapid, and
tae zeal ot her votaries indefatigable.”

Kav ing weighed this morning from off Calais, the Fox
(2d) cutter in company, 8 or 9 miles to the westward of
beater Cliff, the cutter being 6 or 7 miles ahead of me, flie
made the signal for an enemy, which, as the haze cleared,
I made to be a lugger, with her fails turned to the north
ward, and westward of her 2 or 3 miles. Being light
/in boided ° ut boats, armed them* and went to :
t e afliftanee of the Fox; but during the chafe the launch
(commanded by Mr. Middlcvn, Purferof the Fairy) fe
purated, an 1 a ent in chafe of another lugger running down
alorg*fliore from the weft ward. About 2 O'clock the breetft
freihened, when, having no longer any prof}>e& of coming
up with our chafe, 1 tacked in flmro with tlie cutter and
boats to the afliftanee of tl*e launch, (lie having then brought
the lugger to action, under a very heavy Are from the two
batteries in Wliitefand Bay; but to my very great aftonifli
ment I found the launoli had carried her, notwithstanding
flie anchored within mulket flwt of the weftem battery.
She proves to be L’Erperver National privateer, mounting
?. tiHo pound carriage Jguns, 4 swivels, mulketoons, and
{m ill arms, carrying 25 lftcn, all of whom effected their
eicape, 3 being badly wounded { Was commanded by Citi

himfelf the only man wounded by a grape {hot grazing
(though not entering) his stomach badly. His gallantrv
on this occasion speaks for itfelf, nor is it the firft time I
have witnessed it. I beg leave to recommend him strongly
to your attention. I have tlie honor to be, &c.

the latitude 49 deg. 48 min. n. long. 22 deg. 18. min. w.
I captnVjd the French private ship of war I/Epervier, car

We like wile chafed the Buonaparte, carrying 32 guns and
250 men, but carrying away all our fleering fails and main
top gallant malls it enabled her to get off, after doing her
considerable damage with the bow chale gum, and I have
every reason to believe Ihe is returned to France, from her
having thrown every thing overboard.
