According to letters from Truro in Cornwall, a meeting of the principal proprietors of the tin mines was held in that town on Saturday fe'n night> when it was agreed to advance the price of that article to 31. 12s. per hundred, a higher price than it has been for many years ; and the East-India Company have agreed to take half the tin produced from the County at the above price. We are sorry to fay, that the spirit of turbu lence and disorder has broken out at Sheffield, where, in the course of last week, the lower class of people discovered an inclination to riot, in consequence of the enclosure of the commons of Stannington and Hallain ; but by the timely in terference of 1 lie military, which were sent for from York and Nottingham, the rioters were dis persed and a period put to the disturbances. The rioters had previously set (ire tofeveral ricks of hay, four of which were consumed, and gut ted the houses of the Rev. Mr. Wilkinfon, the Vicar, and Mr. Eyre, and done other damage By the last accounts all is quiet. DUBLIN, July 25. Yederday evening a great nntnber of people afl'embled in a tumultuous manner, near the Par liament House, in consequence of some seditious hand-bills which were didributed the preceding day. • A bom eight o'clock at night, they pro ceeded to Fleer-lane, where they totally dedroy ed fifteen houses, committing at the lame time many acts of ontrage. The police at length ap peared, and a defpei ate bat,tle ensued, when the police were cjmpletely vvorfted. Some lives were lod on both fides. Elated with their vic tory, the mob marched down Fleet-street, com mitting great excefles. At ten o'clock this morn ing. a large body of the rioters were employed in levelling with the ground the honfes they had destroyed the preceding evening, when a party of the 80th regiment arrived, and put an end to their amusement. The military, having, com pletely dispersed the insurgents, returned to the barracks. GEORGETOWN, (S.C.) August 27 In America men live and die free and inde pendent, for nothing obliges thetn to throw off that liberty which is the mod lovely ornauien; and mod valuable-prerogative of human nature —the country abounds with all the neceflaries of life and (tie inhabitants are both numerous and rich—valiant and indudrious—the edablilhuient of arts, trades, and manufactures, has madetheni entirely independent of other countries for any of the neceflaries or even the luxuries of life, and every citizen is his own politician and eligi ble to any public office, what ever may be his re ligion. B O S T O N, Sept. 17 Nathaniel Barrett, Esq. who arrived in town yesterday, via Cape Ann, from France, which he left the ill of August, informs us, that the nioft perfect tranquility pervaded the whole of that kingdom, united with a determined resolution to defend the principles of the revolution against all attempts against tliem, internal or external. That the flight of the King did not excite an agi tation of 48 hours continuance : That on the promulgation of the decree, exonerating the King from all culpability, and declaring hisper fon inviolable, a few rioters aflenibled at the Champ de Mars, to swear not to have a king,and that two persons fell vitftinis to their rage,—but that the Marquis de la Fayette, at the desire of the municipality, immediately marched a body of national guards (who to a man are true to the constitution) and, after some opposition from the mob, about a dozen of whom were killed and wounded, difperfecl them ; and that since the nioft pertedt order has been preserved.

He con firms the accounts we had before received from that Island. The diilreiled lituation of the white people almoil exceids description. 1 he negroes having desolated and deflroyed all the open country, proceeded to attack the Cape (Francois.) They were deleated with great slaughter in three deiperateattempts on that town. In one defeat 2000 of thern were killed and 1500 taken prisoners, of whom eveiy tenth man was beheaded. Many of the white peo ple were alio killed in these conflicts—-one regiment alone left fif ty me n killed in one engagement. The muiattoes had not joined the negroes ; they were in arms tor their own defence, and had informed the white people, that, if they would conform to the decrecsotthe National Aflembly, they would afliit them to fup prefsthe infurn dtion, We do not learn whether any or what an swer has been given to this message. Upwards of sixty fail of American vefTels are detained at the Cape. L'Anguille, on the Wabafh,the Indian Town deflroyed by Ge neral Wilkirifon, has remarkably dittinguilhcd ltielf as a neii of robbers and murderers, and is the only place upon the Wabafh where our pritoners have constantly been put to the moil horrible tortures The two fuccefsful expeditions against the hostile Indians, can not fail of making the moil serious imprdfions upon them, and produce a solid peace, which is theXole object of the United States. Indeed, since General Scott's expedition in June, a number 01 French inhabitants, who were fettled at feverai ot the Indian vil lages on the Wabalh, had repaired to Poll Vincennes; and about tnree hundred Ouittanon or YVea men, women and children, In dians who have hitherto been hostile, bad followed their example, and have fettled themfelvea within about eight leagues of Poll Vin cennes, and declared themielves at peace, and under the protection of the United States. An alarming and treasonable riot lately took place in the coun ty of Mifflin, in this State, occasioned, as it appears, by the enmi >y of two men againflSamuel Bryfon, Esq. lately appointed Judge of the Couit of Common Pleas ; thrfe men were ambitious of be ing Colonels of militia, and against the commiflioning of whom, as unfit persons, Mr. Bryfon as County-L'eutenant, had made re presentations. Enraged at the promotion of Judge Bryfon—one Wilson, brother to the Sheriff of that County, and one David Walker levied a considerable force, and marched at the head of about forty armed men with a fife playing, to Lewis-Town, with an avowed determination to seize the person of Judge Bryfon, whilst on the Bench, drag him from thence, oblige him to resign his commiflion, and to accompany these persons to the rugged narrows of Juniatta Rivers. The mob was however fruftrated in their plan, thro'the spi rited behavior of the Judges and the officers of the Court ; Judge Bryfon escaped from their hands—and has repaired to the feat of government. A body of the militia appeared the next day after he riot tofupport and protest the Court—the rioters had previ ously retired—and the Court was opened by the other Judges. Col. McFarland who commanded the militia assembled 011 this .ccafion, presented an address to the Judges on behalf of himfelf, and the militia,declaring their abhorrence of the proceedings which lad taken place—and offering at the hazard of their lives to pro eft the Court—to which the Judges returned an answer expressive of their sense of. the laudable zeal discovered by the ftip port the laws and government of Pennsylvania, The degree of Doctor in Divinity, at the late Commencement in this city was conferred on the Rev. Mr. Afhbell Green ot Phila delphia ; and on the Rev. Mr. Isaac Keith, of Charleflon, South- Carolina. The Provost of the University in his charge to the graduates, ob served, that the wounds and fears which science felt from the un natural hand of despotism, when her spirit was whetted against this unoffending country, soon experienced the healing afliftance of legifla ive authority, to the remotell corners of our confederacy, liven amidst the ravages of war, and the attention neccffary to re pel the invasion of a proud and disappointed nation, the State of P nnfvlvania, ever attentive to the things which constitute her ft ensrth and among the confederated States, erected the University of Pennjyfvania at the public expence, without a fin rle privati donation, or any application from public spirited in vidualsfor legislative countenance and aid. The institution is their own, and owes its origin to the wisdom, po'icy and fore thought of her Representatives eleven years ago, in that dark and cloudy day, when the scale of battle yet huug doubtful, although ' opcfully verging towards the fide of liberty and independence. They have seen, I trust, said he, with secret plcafure, the fruits of their early attention to the interests of literature, in the gradu ation of upwards of 260 students, besides those that have been gra duated this day, in the short space of eleven years; the blollbms of manv of whom begin to unfold, and to promise us the rich f ru-.ts of a splendid addition to that stock of knowledge in philo sophy and physic, in law and divinity, which enriches a nation, and makes them more excellent than their neighbors. And this day we are happy in exhibiting to their view, and in ushering in to life, under their auspices, in thecourfeof the present year, as numerous and refpe&able a class of students in philosophy and me icine, as were ever graduated in the State of Pcnnfylvania.—And if any thing be yet necefTary to complete their original plan of enlarging the human mind, and ex3hing the genius of our citi zens, as feemsto be the cafe in the general idea, and wish of the ♦riends of literature in the State, we doubt not, but the wisdom and magnanimity of one of the largest States 111 the Union, will vie with the most forward of the confederacy, in piacing their University upon as refpeSable a footing as any other in America, and in making it as extenfivcly ufeful to the interests of science, religion and government. In full confidence of the liberality and wisdom of the Legisla ture, the Trustees have erected an elegant and spacious anatomical theatre and chemical elaboratory, for the accommodation of the medical students, which will be ready for their reception on the firft of November next, when the medical lettures will commence; being fully sensible, that it would be impoflible for them to an swer the designs of their conftiturnts, or support the encreafing re putation of the medical institution, without such a ftru£lure. Every fiiend to virtue, science, and the bed intercfts of society and the rising generation, must he delightrd on reading i he ingeni ous, pathetic and truly elegant Address of the Hon. Mr. How eli, inferte'd in this day's Gazette—it can scarcely.be peruftd withou pleasure and advantage by persons of every age ; but to young minds in particular, it conveys the moil important lessons of life. SAYS A CORRtIPONDZNT, Good Government is to be considered as an ordinance of Hea ven, principally on account of its the medium thro which we receive all the bleflings of society. Withou*. government there can be no society, and 110 civil freedom ; all the advantages de pendant on property arise from government ; and here we mav di(tin«ui(h the difference between tyranny and government; under the former, there is nothing but she name of property—for what we cannot call our own, we cannot be (aid to pojfe/s. That is not government, but despotism, whether in the hands of one, a few or many, which does not pay a sacred regard to the rights of pro perty, as well as to the rights of man ; indeed they cannot be fe paratcd, for when the former are invaded, the springs of industry, and a laudable ambition, which are eflennally conne&ed with the equal rights of man, are attacked and undermined. 175 If is With Government as with Religion, the world abounds with different systems of each, and the fV6ts which adhere to them refpeftively pretend in a greater or lefler decree to infallibility— hence the intemperate heats and animosities which interrupt, and often destroy the peace of society. It is now generally considered as indicative of narrowness and bigotry of mind, to deny 10 otheis the right every one is fond e nough of assuming to h rnfeli, ol judging in a tides of faith. Why (nould not equal liberty be allowed in chufing our political creed ? " To err is human"—and mankind are perhaps more liable to er ror in what concerns their political intereil, than they are in what relates to modes of religious belief. It has often been confidently affcrted that religious zeal and bigotry have deflroyed more of the human race than any other cause of diflVntiou ; yet the contrary will appear when it 1? conti dered that mankind have been perpetually at war about civil and political rights, and their temporal poll ilions—whereas religious wars have raged only at particular periods,and tliofe remote from. The late accounts from the Weft-India I (lands present the mod gloomy fpi'ftacle that perhaps has ever been exhibited on the thea tre of the globe. To reflect on an handful of people (compara tively speaking) being absolutely in the power of an immense mul titude of blacks, untaught and uncivilized, whose fenle of injuries has been constantly receiving an additional keenncft to its edge for ages, must harrow up every feeling of humanity ; and tho there is something in our natures which revolts from slavery, and every ge nerous American must ardently wish to fee the period arrive When Afric's sons [had freely range their groves, Pluck their own fruits, and woo their fable loves. Yet as the new system of tne world is gradually ameliorating the condition of our species, it is rather to be feared, that the period, when universal freedom shall be enjoyed, must be retarded, rather than accelerated by such horrible attempts. On the principle therefore of universal benevolence and philanthropy, if impelled by no other motives, the Government of the United States is bound to afford the most prompt and etteftual succour and relief to their allies. According to the late accounts from Cape-Francois, the following seems to have been dictated by the spirit of prophecy— An Address from the Tozun and Commerce of Nantes, to the National Ajjembly dated May 20, 1791 Gektlemen, YOUR decree of the 15th May, sublime in the eyes of philofo phy,and dictated by the\love of humanii y,will not prevent (per nut this freedom to our patriotism) its being the mod inhumah, if us execution was not iniprafticable in thr Colonies. More terrible than thr hurricanes which ravage these rich countries, ?t would carry with it ail the evils re-united, it goes forth to rc-kindlc upon these shores already the fpeftacles of horror, the firebrand of dif-' cord and civil war ; rivers of blood is going to be shed — under this burning the paflions are extreme, hatred ai d ven geance will display in their true colours their fanguinaiy tffefts. Ah do not flatter yourselves that these dreadful misfortunes are iranfient : No, gentlemen, as long as your fatal decree ihall ex: ft, the whites and coloured pedple cannot live together ; one party or tl e other inuft be exterminated : there is no alternative ; and the conquering party enfeebled by its victory will fall a facrifice to the (laves, too crafty to let flip the favorable moment of breaking their chains. Then will those terrible words be realized which have already made your walls resound, May the Colonics per ijli— this bar barous wifli is granted, they are no more —our commerce ruined, our marine annihilated, agriculture languishing, our manufafturcs abandoned, ten millions of Frenchmen reduced to the deepefl mi sery, without the means of fubfiftcnce, wanting bread ; these are the unhappy consequences, the effect of the loss of the colonics : bankrupts innumerable, and a general distrust among individuals will give a fatal itab to public credit ; our fpeeie will flow with rapidity into the dominions of foreigneis, a general mourning will cover all France, and more than a third of the inhabitants will be forced to leave their country, to carry among strangers those ta lents and that industry which their native foil can no more em plov. However gloomy this representation may be, it Is the exa£h ft truth, and it will make you tremble. It the love of humanity and. the desire of rendering all the fubje£U ot the empire happy, ani mated you when you palfed the decree of the 15th May-—in the name of the colonies, so precious a part of the French monarchy—• in the name of those whose happiness you wish, while you expose them to almost inevitable deftruftion—in the sacred name of hu manity—in the name of ten millions of our brothers who will fall victims to the most wretched misery—repeal this crucl decree; confccrate and adopt in a solemn manner that of the Bth March 179° • g rant to the colonies that privilege you promiled them; themselves alone can re-eftabli(h and maintain good order and tranquility. This privilege is their palladium, without which our Colonies cannot exist. The accounts from Cape-Francois as published in a Boston pa per, fay That the Negro Insurgents amounted to 70,000, that they had killed all the Whites, men, women and children, and burnt all the plantations for 60 miles round—the light of the fire was so great, that they could fee to read on board the packet which brought the news to New-London, the night after she failed.
