account of tlie brilliant atchievemcnt of his Ma- |
jefty on the 9th, the account states, that he took
and deltroyed feventyfive veflels, and that tlie
Ruffians loft jooomen. Such are the contradicto

the judgement of our readers to di (criminate.
The flame of liberty, which has spread (o ra
pidly in France, seems to direct its next confla

on the credit of a gentleman just returned from
Rome, that alabel to the following purport was
publicly placed round the neck of Pafquin, afew
days before he left that city.

When the last news came from Bruflels, the
town was a I'cene of anarchy and apprehension.
It is thought that Van der Noot, and the Junto
chat coiupjfe his party, will loon fly the country,
and the next letters will probably bring lis the
farther information, that several »f the provinces
are preparing to fend a deputation 10 Vienna,
with an acknowledgment of King Leopold as
their lawful fovcreign.
We have already teen, that the Austrian troops
have made considerable progress in recovering
the country by force ; that ilie Revolution is no
longer countenanced, either openly or lecretlv,
by Prullia and Holland ; and that the people, as
is usual, whenever they arc opprefled, hating
their present masters more than their formei ,ai e
very generally difpofcd to facilitate the prog.e.s
of the Atiftrians. n
The Clergy finding Leopold difpolcd to rcitoie
to them their ancient ufurpacioiis ovei the mini s
and property of the people, are inclined to ac
knowledge his lovcreignty. Tl.'s restoration "
the ancient constitution is indee i flipula«.ea, in.
it is much to be feared that the people will dep

" It is with peculiar pleasure I inform you,
that yesterday Mr. Am es had a very large major,
itv of the votes of the electors of this town, as
member of the second House of Representatives
of the United States : Tlwre were 1550 voters,
out of which he had 1203. The proportion, in;
his favor in the country towns is equally great..
This federalifm, and consistency of conduct,- js
highly honorary to this metropolis—it teftifies
the fpnfe which the people have of Mr. Ames s
1 civ ices r.nd abilities—and the very large num.:
ter of voters, greater than, almoit ever before
voted for a Rep. efentative, evinces that thepeo,

that they consider their delegations to the seder«

and Mr. Goodhue has a full vote in Eflex."
