“ I have not time to fay much
at prefent, having arrived only
two days ago, and have not vet
been on (horc. A44 pun Chip
and a corvette of 28 guns are
at Guadaloupe. I (hall give
them a fair challenge to come
out in a day or two and am
hurrying to put all things in
icadinefs for that purpofe.
By the latcft accounts from
Pariv, every thing was quiet in
that city. A plan of a new
conftitution had been propofed,
but nothing yet dccidtd on—
Every exertion was made to iaife
monej—and to reciuit the ar
mies.
I hr consuls were pmfuing a
moderate fydem ot government
—feveral odious decrees of the
late dmftory had been done
away, and many emigrants per
mitted to return.
The combined French and
Span'fh fleets lay in Bred har
bour—off which port an Engliffi
11 et ot twenty iail of the line
under admiral Gardner was
cruizing to ohlervr them.
Ihe hatvrft in England has
not turned out to be fo bad as
was expefted, and the piice> of
gram had declined confiderably.
The Irifh parliament had been
prorogu'd. and ihe prevailing
opinion was, that they would
not meet again,
I here was no intelligence in
London of the arrival of our
commiflioners at Pans.

BALTIMORE, February 17.
Saturday arrived Ihip Com'
mcrce, capt. Sanger, 70
from St. Stbadian’s; by this ar
jival we have received regular
j (cries of the following Paris
(prints, viz “ The Point du fou r
“ The Indifpenfable!' * c The Di
plomat*,” and the RedaEleur , down
to the 6th ef December. Thefe
papers contain a great variety ot
intereding articles which have
not yet been publifhed in this
rountiy. The new order of
things appears to have been re
ceived throughout France with
the urmod fatisfaftion ; the 60
pro r cnbed deputies who were
fentenccd for tranfpnrtation are
to be lent to the I fie of Rhe.
and not to Cayenne. The
prints fpeak with great plcafure
of the profpeft of a negociation
with this country.
Capt. Sanger's verbal infor
mation is, that the Americans
are treated with attention in
France ; that the armed (hips of
the republic will not moled any
veffel belonging to the United
States: captain S faw at St
ScbaftiarTs, the captain of a
hodon fehooner which had been
boarded by a national corvette,
and treated politely ; that the
people are very anxious for the
arrival nf our miniders and
fpeak with great fatisfaftion of
the profpeft of a re union be-,
tween the two republics.

The Editor of the " louifville

, mems that a neceflity fhould cx

certain individuals (particular

hasdifgraced Georgia, and made
her a by-word, are ample caufes.
, And here 1 will obferve, that it
mull be a fubjeft of pleafing re
• fle6f ion to the friends of freedom
, to hear this humble agent of
Porcupine, bewailing that he
• has received fmall encourage
ment in Georgia. No higher
proof of the enlightened under,
(landing, and republican inde
pendence ot its citizens can be
adduced at prefent, than the re
jection of fuch feivilc imple
ments—made ufe of to miflead
their judgments, by partial ex
tmCts o( news and publications,
calculated to deftroy the repu
tation and influence of every
individual confpicuous for his
attachment to the firfl principles
of our government.
In regard to his fccond fubjeft
of complaint, party fpirit, I have
ordy to Ly, God in his infinite
mcicy forbid that wre fhould ever

with the fpint of his party: —]
That certain individuals who|
have difgraced the hiftory of this j
ftafe in lomc meafuie, have been '
perfccuted, and defeivedly, is
not to be denied But, when
| he lays, rha Georgia has become
a by* wo d, his infolence is in
luffciable Whois he that dares
to calumniate a whole ftate ?
Upon the munificence of which
he ha.v been pampered in a flile
before unknown to him. It is
a Lilliputian EmiJJary , fiom the 1
Ealt, nurtured there on molafles,
fifh and onions—and whofe ac
count of his progenitors taken
upon his own word, can never
atone for his degeneracy. Per
fonal merit is required ; not that
lof anceflors Whether he was
we 1 or ill bom, is nothing to the |
! purpole heie—But this do&rine I
no doubt lavours too much of
the pnnciplesof that gentleman,*
whom he calls Mazzei's corref
pundent, to luit histalle at pre

Careys Diary .
From the Aurora .
Economy, as recommended in the
FrJdenCs Speech .
It appears that a bill is now
I before the fenate of the I nited
I Stares, for augmenting the fala-
I ries of the members of the Jenale
, and houfe of reprefentatives .
| The people who fend thefe
members 'arc thus early fore
warned of this extravagant at
tempt to wafte the public mo
ney, where neither additional
labor nor the price of provifions
afford the lealt pretext tojultify
it.
The public fhould know that
this meafurc was propoled in the
( fenate by a New England mem-
I her, and by one of the moll
confidential friends of the Prc
fident of the United States, Mr#
Goodhue.
This meafure willappear truly
furpiizing for its impudence, as
well as its extravagance, if
confidered that the highell lorn
paid by members of either houle
for boa; d and lodging in this city
is ten dollars a week; that a great
majority, particularly the N e *
England members, do not p- a >
fo much as eight, and feverai c*
them only Jive and /our doiL’ * d
