EXTRACT of a Letter form Pari/, to a gentleman in New-Haven, dated Augttjl 30th, 1789. TT is extremely gratifying, my dear Sir, to have spent the lalt fix months in this country — where, next to the American revolution,the great est and rnoft wonderful scenes are unfolding. The progress of truth and reason is beyond calcula tion. We might have believed from theory, that government would meliorate—that the peo ple might discover in time that as laws are made for them, they ought to be made by them—that Kiugs ihould be but Executive Magistrates, and therefore fubjedt to the laws. But when wecon fider the flow and altnoft imperceptible progress of such ideas from the days of Magna Cliarta to the last revolution in England, their retrogade motion from the time of the great Henry, to Louis XVIIII. in France, and their dormant Hate for many ages in all the reft of Europe, it is afton iftiing that so many events of this nature Ihould be crowded into fifteen years. It is biv. since the American war that the faculty of thinking has been by any means general in France. The ex ample of America in her theoretical ideas ofli. berty has certainly been a great thing for France. But greater, if poflible, will be her example in the developement of these ideas in her govern ment. The Constitution of France, which is in a good degree of forwardnefs, will be as nearly likethe American, as is consistent with having an hereditary Chief Magistrate. If they had not a King on hand, they would not create one. They will now preserve him with such powers as the people choose to delegate to their Executive Chief. And he will gladly accept of what they may give him, acknowledging the source from whence it flows, the jus divinum of his fellow ci tizens. The other nations of Europe have now an ex ample nearer home—and they will soon follow it. The gospel of civil liberty will run and be glorified—nations are coming to its light, and Kings to the brightness of its rising. It cannot be ten years before Germany, Spain, and South America will be free : How many other States will precede, and how many follow them, cannot now be known ; but all Europe must do one or the other. One principal occasional cause of these revolutions, is the immense national debts accumulated by the expensive wars of theprefent century. Spain finds a deficiency of eighty mil lions. The Emperor's dominions are exhausted by war and taxes. No Sovereign in Europe can iinpofe a new tax, without the consent of the peo ple, for France could not do it. Spain must as semble her Cortes, or submit to a bankruptcy, either of which is the direcft road, and the firft, the beaten road, to a revolution. Aflemblingthe Notables here, has done the fame thing. SPRINGFIELD, December 9. IsaiAh Thomas Esq. Printer at Worcefter,hrm lately iflued proposals for printing a large fami ly BIBLE.—This will be a great, expensive, but trulyl andable & praiseworthy undertaking. The abilities of this gentleman in his profeftioual ca pacity are so generally known, that we cannot admit a doubt of his success ill this important de sign. We learn from Dfcerfield, that on the 21ft ult. the following accident happened there:—A gen tleman belonging to New-Jersey, by the name of Brightfton, returning home from a journey to the northward, was unfortunately thro.wn from his horse. His head firft meeting the ground, im mediately deprived him of all sensation, and h<i lay as it were breathless. Providentially Do<ftor Cunningham of Hatfield rode up, according to his conjecture about 20 minutes after the accident rook place. He could not discover any visible signs of life, but instantly bled him, and by iinart frivftion, and the application of strong vinegar* restored animation, and in about an hour put him in a condition to renew his journey. What would have been the confequenct of this gentleman's dis aster, had he not received the seasonable aflift ance he did, is uncertain ; but the warmelt thanks are certainly due to the humane Dodtor for the diligence with which he employed fuccefsful at tempts for his reiteration. THE GARDEN of the THUILLERIES. r I "'HIS garden is the fineft, and molt frequent- A ed walk in Paris. The parterres, the alleys, the large basons of water, the statues of marble, are allanfvverable to each other in their stile of magnificence; It was begun by order of Henry IV, in 1600, and finifhed under Louis XIV, in 1660. It is 360 fa thoms in length, and 68 broad , containing in the whole 67 arpents of land. There are seven entrances into this garden.— The three principal alleys are 165 fathoms long; and that in the middle is 1 5 fatnoms broad. The great terras 011 the lide of the river, which makes the principal ornament of the garden, ii 280 fathoms long, and 14 broad. 111 the whole garden are four fountains, two of which have basons of a large circumference. On the fide of the palace are six.statues, and two vases of white marble- The statues are a hunter and two huntrefles, a fawn, an Hamadriade, and the goddess Flora. R.ound the great bason of the parterre are four groupes of marble figures: Thefirji represents the rape of Orithia, or rather Time carrying off Beauty ; the second is Ceres born away by Saturn, under the figure of Time : the third, Lucretia stab bing herfelf before Collatinui ; The fourth repre sents JEneas, laden with his household gods, liia father /Inchifes, and his foil Afcatiius. In the semi-circle which forms the horse there are four marble rivers, upon pedestals of the fame—the Loire, the Seine, the Nile, and the Ty ber. The two last were copied at Rome, from antiques, that arc to be seen in the Capitol. At the end of the garden, between the openings of the liorfe Ihoe, there are two figures on horse back, of a prodigious magnitude, raised upon rus tic piers ; they represent Mercury, and Fame. Within a few years several statues, cut by the ablest mailers in the time of Termes, have been placed in this garden. PRODIGIOUS STATUE. IN the place of Louis XIV, in Paris, is eredied his equestrian statue in bronze. The King is re present ed in the dress of a hero of antiquity, with out saddle or spurs. The statue and horse are twenty-two feet two inches high. The whole was cast at once, by Bal thafar Keller, of Zurich in Switzerland. The designs were by Girardon. Fourscore thousand weight of metal was used in this work, which cost two hundred thousand crowns. A trial was made by which it appeared that twenty persons migjitfit round a table in the bel ly of the horse. The pedestal upon which this horse stands is thirty feet high, twenty-four long, and thirteen broad. NEW-YORK, DECEMBER 16. The stupendous monuments of antiquity which excite the admiration of modern times, ought an the fame time to fill our hearts with gratitude to heaven, for amending the condition of mankind, infuch manner,that a few haughty despots do'not command the wealth of the world, and the labor of millions of slaves, by which means only, such aftonilhing works could have been eredted. How much better is it to employ the wealth of this world in forming institutions for promoting ufeful knowledge, and leflening the infelicities I of existence, than tofuffer human vanity to eredt monuments of pride and ambition, which Itamp indelible infamy 011 the degraded character of the age in which they are founded. -ARRIVALS.—NEW.YORK.
