N E W-H A V E N, Sept. 7,
France has bad a mod tremendous revolution.
Heads cut off and elevated on poles were as
plenty there, a; one time, as fiiow birds 111 De
cember. Marquifles, Counts, Bilhops, Cardinals
and Curates were levelled with a jerk.— Kngland
saw such filings with fear and trembling, and
her chief engineer .charged himfelf deeply, in
tending to fink the whole nation at a (hot.—He
-vent off with little execution,as Paine and I'rieft
ly cell us, who have examined his ammunition,
and find that it was wet and unfit tor ufe,though
it is expected, his laudable attempt will entitle
him to a lordjhip. The French king and family,
at an early (tage of this contest, were made pri
soners, and continued thus till a few days ago,
when, fired with rage, he summoned all his for
titude, and with great presence of mind, jumpt
into a coach with his dear little wife and run avicty,
and doubtless had been running yet, but a couple
«f yeomen arreded his Majesty and carried him
back to Paris —No injury has happened, except
ing that her majesty lojl a feather out of her cap,
and two china jars ot damsons were brake all to
pieces.

that important business.
Philadelphia, September 14.
By an arrival at New-York, Englilh papers are receiver! lo the
20th Jul\. -They inform that all negotiations for peace between
Auftna, Rnffia ami thf Porte, were broken oft.—That the Ruffian
army had crollVd the Danube under General Kutufnw, a-tacked
arid defeated a body of 23,000 Turks.—That the exchange between
London and Paris is at 27 per ccut.—That the French refugees ap
pear to bee'atid with the present posture of affairs in France.—
That the anniversary of the Fiench Revolution was celebrated bv
the Revolution Society at the Crown and Anchor. Lord Stanhope
declining the chair, it w?s filled by Mr. Rous. A mobairem
bled, inlillmg on the liberation of Lord Ccorge Go: don to join in
the celebration, 1 ut on the appearance of the military they dis
persed. A report, which was credited, was in cumula
tion, that a great riot had taken place in Dublin on the 14th of
Julv--and that nearly the whole of one street was burnt.
That a number ot persons having alTeinhlcd a- Birmingham to ce
lebrate the above anniversary, the mob had assembled before the
Hotel where the meeting was held, and being exasperated by ac
counts of the company's proceedings, thai thev Had drank, De
Jlruttion to the present Government- •and the King's Head in a rharget,
Be. broke into the House, dellioycd the windows, glalT &c.
pelted the individuals and oblijed th m to seek faicty 111 flight.
This was fucceededed by a dreadful Riot, in which the houses ot
Dr. Priestly, Mr. John Ryland, John Taylor, Esq. Mr. Hutton,
Mr. George Humphreys William RlllTt.ll, Esq. Mofley Hall,
and Mr. H.iwk«, some dilfenting me; ting houses, and fev -ral hou
ses of dissenters, were d ftioyed by fire. This riot con
tinued from the 14th to the 17th July—and was it poffihle more
alarming thin that cxpcrienctd in London in 1780. Great num
bers of the rioters lofi their lives by being in ihe cellars of houses,
the walls of which fell in upon them. Dr. Priestly narrowly e<-
caped with his life. By the intervention of the military tran
quility was restored, but not until many bves were loft on both
fides. [Further particulars of this distressing event shall appeal
in our next.]
A great lermentation appears to cxift in France—the King and
Queen continue confined. The King of Spain hns written to the
National Assembly, refpsfling the King, advising conciliatnrv
measures—The Affcmbly voted this answer, " That as the French
ration does not intend to meddle with ihc affairs oftoreign pow.
ers, so fore' gn powers have no bufmefs to meddle with the affairs
of the French nation." Therefultof the-report of the Com
mittee of enquiry rrfpe&ing the French King's flight, was, " That
there ii no crime committed agairjl the (onjlitution by the King ; nnd if
therewas,Jiill the King's inviolability would not permit him to be tried."
M. Bouille and his accomplices are impeached.
Kxtrafl of a letter from a citizen oj the United States, at Madeira, to a
j.< J rr i -
gentleman in this city dated July 19.
" The anniversary of our political binh day was celebrated
here at the house of the Consul, John M. Ptntard, Esq. with due
refpeft ; at sunrise an elegant (ilk flag of the United States was
difplaved in front of the house ; at three o'clock the masters ot all
the American vessels in port, nine in number partook of an en
tertainment provided by the Consul—a band of mufick played
during the time ot dining, and fifteen toasts daptcd to the occa
lion were drank, attendeel by thedifcharge of cannon ; at sunset
the company moved to the green in front of the house, when the
colours were ftiuck under a difchargc of fifteen guns.
» The Consuls' House is fituatcd on an eminence in full view of
the whole town—the celebration was therefore a very confpicu
ousobjed*—the natives of the island in general are very well dtf
pofed towards the people of the United States- -and I ain firmly
persuaded that if our country continues to support her character
and credit (he will have the worthy of all countries, for friends;
as to the envious and contra&ed of a.iy nation, their friendfhip
cannot be considered as an arqtufition. Our Coitful here pofleflcs
the genuine spirit of an American ; the events, that led to
empire and independence such as the brilliant stroke at Tren
ton, the capture of Burgoync, Cornwallis, &c. are always no
ticed by him ; and whenever any of our countrymcn arc in port,
they are always invited to unite with him in the joy of the day—
if none happen to be here--he hoists hi.- flag and celebiates with
bis own family—in short his countrymen are always wflcomc
at his house, and he never appears so happy as when he has the
pleasure of their company. M. Pintard is now eflablifhed m bu
fmefs at this island, tinder his firm ; this circumftancr I wa<
hoc acquainted with previous to my leaving the States, or I should
Inve applied to him ; vou mav be allured that the command* o'
votirfelf. or any of your friends at this island cntruftcd to him,
will be executed with fidelity ability and dilpatch.'
A letter from a gentleman in Montreal, dated
Auiruft t9, fays : " Lord Dorcheiter failed so
London yeflerdav, and Prince Edward, thcKing s
l'on arrived 1 nlt week at Oucbec. '
Mr. Annnftus Christian George Elholm, la'ely
arrived here froin the Natclies, on the Milfifippi,
relates ihe following lamentable incident
brig Galgo, (lloyal Packci) command
ed by J< fej»h Rodriga Cabfera, bound to the Ha
■A
vannah, with paflemgers, and partly loaded witli
lumber, failed from New-Orleans the 21 it of
June last, and overset the 23d at 5 o'clock in t.ie
morning, 40 leagues S. of Penlacola, wherein 8
nerfons instantaneously perished ; in which num
ber were a Spanilh lady (Mrs. Palao, distinguish
ed bv a fuccefsful parental care of a respectable
railed family of both sexes) and her grand daugh
ter, about 6 years of age,—who were, with seve
ral others, in the cabin at the time of the cataf
trosphe ! From whence lient. Martini Palao (foil
of [he deceased lady) and himfelf (the said Mr.
Elholm) saved themselves with great difficulty,
by Retting out through the water at the door,
and with the aflifVanceof the rigging, joined the
fuwivors on the fide of the veflel.
" When the party, for about the space of four
hours, concejving every moment the last, had
sustained the violence of the waves, in a boifte
rotis storm, rain, and thunder, amidll the dread
ful scene of floating deceased friends ; (for the
partition between the cabin and the main deck,
was at this time destroyed by tltc irrefiftable
force of the sea, and consequently every thing
waflied out) the malls at once gave way at the
deck, and cleared the wreck by the agitation of
the sea, which gave liberty to the hull to right
it so as to admit the crew to enter the highest
fide of the quarter-deck ; in which situation, fill
ed with water, and loaded with green lumber,
(lie at belt floated very deep, and in consequence
of her pitching, but seldom above water.
" In aho ut 5J hours after this disastrous event
the wind and waves fortunately abated, which
afforded an opportunity to kindle a fire with a
flint and sI eel , which a peculiar circumltance had
preserved. Night now coining on, the people
fatigued and exhaulled by the want of frefli wa
te-.'&c. found means to tie themselves on the
highest places on tlie hull, to indulge in some
decree a requifire repose, fecuredly froni the
dangerous walliing of the ocean ; firlt eftablifh
in« a watch by turns to keep up the light, in
hones to draw attention, if any veflel fliould, by
the will of Providence, be directed that way,
which had tiiewifhed for effort—for the friendly
and humane Capt. Dolhonde. commanding the
Amiable Maria, from New-Orleans, the ensuing
night perceiving the fire which was kept up,and
governed bv a humane disposition, which on the
occasion acquired the praises of all good men,
altered his conrfe to enquire whether a light not
commonly seen on veflels that dillance from land,
might not be a signal of a people in dittrefs ;
and thus came to their relief about two o'clock
in the mornirg, and fevenry hours after their
(hip wreck.
44 He had plenty of provisions neceflary for
their recovery, which he imparted with no lcfs
attention than as noted liberality ; and the 6th
of July landed them (19 m number) on the ii
land of Cuba, £ miles to windward ofthe Havan
nah, from whence they proceeded to the town.
A Senator to complete the representation of
this State, in the Senate of the United States,
tho long since wanted, lias not been chosen, be
ranfe the two Houses of our Legislature, could
not agree upon the mode wliich was to be sol
lowed in making the appointment. Ihe Senate
wifii the appointment made by a concurrent vote
of both houses ; and ihs other Branch contend,
that it ought to be by the jtinf vote of ihe mem
bers of both Houses, in one body met. Jn en
deavoring to determine this important queltion,
much lime has been unnecefl'ai ily spent, in con
sidering the expediency of each mode ; unnecef
farilv, because the mode is pointed out by the
Constitution of (he United States : There would
be rooin for doubt and debate, if the provifiom
of the constitution were not pofuive in t par
ticular, and if the mode coukl be deduced only
by construction from the words of the Constitu
tion ; but this is not the cafe. The letter ol the
Conilitiition speaks thus: " The Senate of the
'• United States {hall be coropofed of two Sena
" tots from each State, chojen by the Lecisla
<e TURK thereof, &c." Now our State Constitu
tion as expt efsly fays, that the legislative fewer
this Commonwealth, Jhall be vejlcd in two Houses,
a Senate, and Hottfe of Representatives : So that
it appears clearly, by the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, that the appointment of a Senator,
must be a Legifiative a<st of the State, and the Le
gislature of t his State, by its constitution, con
lifts of two houses ; without dispute, tho ever (o
inexpedient, the Senator must bold his appoint
mem by a concurrent Vote. A queltion he:e ari
ses, whether this vote ntuft not be qualified by
the approbation of the Governor, as an article of
lie Stare Constitution expiefsly declares, " that
everyorder, refoltition, or vote, to which the
concurrence of both houses may be neceftary
(except on a qneftion of adjournment) (hall be
presented to the Governor, or, being disapproved,
See." The question, indeed, is answered by the
words of the constitution, the letter of which
speaks also positively here—it must be solved,
without hesitation, in the affirmative..

At the prcfcnt moment there is a truly laudable fpirii of'onirr.
prize and improvement txtant among the* citizens of the United
States. The improvement of our inland navigation is a fubj cl
that engroflVs the attention of public bodies, and individuals in
various parts of the union. Nature has performed her part moil
amply in furnilhing our country with natural, cxhauftltfs res r
voirs, and rivers that interfett the country in innumerable direc-
tions. What remains then but that Art fliould complcat her ge
nerous intentions ?
Almost infinitely less labor and expence than has been employed
on a (ingle canal in Great-Britain, would in Come of these states
unite rivers, that would open an interior intercourse, the advan
tages of which cannot be eftimatcd.
The plan said to be now prosecuting in North-Carolina for u
niting that state with Virginia, by an interior water communica
tion, is a noble undertaking. The provision made by this Com
monwealth for improvements in the roads, and clearing obftruc-
tions in its numerous rivers, evinces a spirit of enterprize and pa
triotism highly honorary to the Government. In other parts of
the Union a similar dilpofition is apparent ; and it may not be too
sanguine to fuppofc, that the period will arrive when those im
mense bodies of water which form the internal seas of the United
States, and which from their elevated situations appeal calculated
for the purpose, may by art and labour be made locks or fourcc s of
canals, that shall waft the produce of our country from the Lake
of the Woods to the Atlantic.
There are several proje£ts now on foot in the state of MafTac.hu
fetts for improving their navigation. The account recently pub
lilhcd of a survey in the diftrift of Maine, (hews that our country
is susceptible of improvements which have hitherto escaped obser
vation, but which the present happy period seems defi ned to bring
to view, attended with circumstances that slash conviction of their
feafibilitv on the mind of the tnoft cursory enquirer. We are in
formed that the result of the survey lately undertaken and executed
at thr inftanceof the Secretary at War, respeCting the practicabi
lity of opening an internal water communication from ConncCti
cut river, with some of the rivers in the neighbourhood of Bjfton,
pref nts no obftaclcs that may not be furmownted by an expence,
which would be abundantly re-imburfed by the advantages which
would accrue to the public from compleating the business.
The design of fixing the Manufactories, about to be established,
in the state of New- ]ci ley, mud meet the approbation of all who
are friends to the Union, peace and good under (landing of the ci
tus of Philadelphia and N-w-Yoik—The inhabitants of these
places will be intereftcd in this patriotic undertaking—bheir mu
tual convenience and accommodation ought therefore to be ronfi
dered. The state of New-Jcrfey will derive very essential local
advantages from the circumltance—fhe w ill fhorfly fee a large ma.
nwfa&uiing town rising up in the midlt of the which, while
it serves to cement these two great citics, will ideally diminisH
their diltancc from tach other.
MR. FEN NO,
THE general rcftettions contained in the extra&s from the North-
Carolina Gazette, published in your last paper, like all other ind'.f
ciminate charges on colle&ive bodies, or aggregate deu riptions
of persons, cannot be founded in truth. That a pra&ice so hostile
to the commercial or moral chara6ler of the people as that ot a'-
temp &at counterfeiting '.he hano writing of others, should l»e al
most nniverfallv prevalent among the youth o{ North-Carolina, is
a monstrous and absurd supposition, and carries a refutation on its
very furface.
I doubt not this malignant charge will be properly notirrd—
and should not be at all surprized to find that it oiiginated with
some disappointed fpcculator, who has flittered by purchafidg
counterfeit paper. A. B.
