NICHOL TURNBULL. 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.” f IENNA, December 13. tv V m^ r ° r has ,oeen to appoint his Royal A. l iighnefs the Archduke Charles Governor and Cap. w? era the k .' m ? dom of Bohemia. e have just received information that 20,000 Imperial troops took pofft lfion of % city of Vc* ice on the 9th inst.
