Anmverfary of American Independence. The ever me'n>rab!e fourth of July was ce lebrated in this city, neither by the ringing of bells, the discharge of cannon, nor by ti;e noif'y bustle of a promiscuous croud ; but in focia! mirth and pleasantry.

FENNO, ' I TORE are some ftri&ures in the Connec ticut Journal 01 the rich instant, 011 the fubjeft of the conteftcd eiedtion in the State of New-York, in which.the writer fays, that votes in favor ot Mr. Jay were rejected by the can vassing committee,. 44 because the name was not orthographically written, and according to tne latest improvementsv/hile at the fame time this very committee admitted 44 fun dry votes which came up under exactly parallel cir cuniftances with tho e proscribed." The votes of the rejejffced counties, the writer further fays, he is informed, were left till the scrutiny had proceeded lo far as to evince, that the election would be loiT: to them if the whole were ad mitted. Tncn were questions made which would probably have never been moved, had an evident majority appeared in their favor.— 1 hose that run may read" and " zvayjaring men, though fools, flial! not err therein How differently men pretend to Jihink. An ar ticle in tne National Gazette of Saturdav last, denominated an "extract of a letter from 'New- York," in reference to this bufmefs, fays, 44 the present cafe [that is the agitation which the ci tizens of New-York are thrown into by the de ci ion of t.ie majority of the canvafling com mittc] I take to befi,n..ar to what is sometimes 0 erved in court , where the pleader who makes the moll noise, has generally the worst 1 e o tie question.

Philadelphia, July i 8. Saturday last, the 14th of July, being the an niversary of the French Resolution, the fame was noticed in this city by various dcnioiiitra tions of joy. JThe velfels in tke harbor were dressed in their colours ; and a French veJi'el laluted the day by frequent firings. Several ielect companies celebrated the an niversary in a convivial m,inner—and the even was closed by a brilliant dilplay of fire-works, which received the applaule or a vast concourle of ipsitators. The tallowing tOdfts were drank by the gen tlemen aflenibleU at Others' Hotel, after par taking ot a fpteudid repast, Viz. 1. The French Nation ; tiieir Constitution, and King. 2.

Thisl deputation is sent under the direction 01 the Superintenc'ant ol Indian Affairs, and char ged with a meiTage from the Executive of the Jnited States to the laid Indians, demanding a Reflation of hostilities until measures can be taken to bring about a general treaty of peace. The fame Gazette fays, Cant. Joseph Brandt returned through that city on the 6th inltant, from his visit to the President of the United States. Capt. Brandt has exp relied himielf as much pleased with the reception he met with from the Prefiderit, and the polite treatment he has received during his whole tour. We are in formed that his belt endeavors will be used to eilablilh a treaty of friendfhip betweeu the U nited States and the present hostile tribes of Indians ; and tliat it is more than probable, on 'lis return home, he will immediately set off for the Miami Village. The premiums of the Albany society for the encouragement of the manufacture of maple sugar have been awarded and paid, viz. The lint, of 75 dollars, to Thaddeus Scribner, of lierkemer county ; he having producedcd 600 jiouuds oj grained maple sugar of superior quality.

The Lcgiflature of Maiiachufetts adjourned the 2d inita 111, to the firft Vednefday of No vember next. The foundation of a new Theatre in Nor folk, Virginia, was laid 011 the 4th July. The violent jiuit of wind oil the firft ioftant was very extensive ; its efleets were f. verely felt in various parts of the Union, from the ltate of Maflachuietts to Cape-Hatteras. The fate of Mr. Fox's motion for the repeal of sundry odious penal statutes against the Dil lbnters from the eftablilhed Churcti of England, is an event which could learcely be conceived of at this enlightened period of the world. A very handsome ac-ldrefs was presented to General Sumpter, by the officers of the regiment of Clermont and Clarendon counties, in Souths Carolina, on his return from attending Congress; in which they recapitulate iome of ills services in the field during the late war—thank him for his defence of the character of the militia of that state, in Congress, from the afperlions thrmvh on it in certain letters during the late war—&hd for the republican sentiments which he fuj>ported'on the floor of Congress. The General, ia his reply, thanks the officers for their approbation of his conduct—that his sen timents refpe&ing the insidious imputations on the patriotil'm, moral and military characters of the southern people, particularly the South-Ca rolinians, are corroberated by so many testimo nies against the fallacy Of therji He exprefles his gratitude for the friendly reception they had given him on his return, and for their favora ble sentiments of his public condutft in the va rious stations to which hfc had been appointed 1 The present posture of a£airs in Europe ex hibits a more interesting feene, than ever was before displayed 011 that great theatre of bat tles, sieges, intrigues, murders, aflaflinations, enterprize, genius, learning, ignorance, folly, frivolity, tyranny, ilavery, freedom and what not. An universal eftervefcence is apparent — kingdoms, Hates, and empires are convulsed— the struggles of reason, right, and liberty have produced the fermentation—the faeces of des potism, fuperflition and prejudice will be pur ged awar, and the pure waters of life, trans parent and will remain : these will be imbibed in copious draughts by an en lightened race of men, who have for ages been drinking the-inervating and intoxicating potions prescribed for them by the emifiaries of dark ness—the traitors to the dignity of human na-; ture. Mr. Abraham Hodge has published proposals for printing a newspaper at Halifax, North-Car olina, to be entitled, The Nojth-Caro/ina Journal. Mr. liodge lays, The general and well-founded complaints that have so long prevailed among a confidera'ole and refpe&able part of the citizens of this state for the want of a proper knowledge of the affairs of government, and a due com munication of intelligence, being happily re moved by the late adl of Congress for the esta blishment of the poft-ollice : and the routes of the posts being dire&ed through various of the interior parts of the state, whereby a channel is opened for an extensive circulation of a news paper —lie has, by the advice of his friends, been induced to embark in the present under taking. The ifliie of the present contest between the combined powers and the French nation, rauft be favorable to the rights oi man, For there can be no doubt that the French will zealously defend their country, and the revolution they have accomplished ; their enemies may for a time be partially fuccefsfu!—but this success will bring the people, now under the dominion of pre jadice and tyranny, in more immediate conlaft. and make them more fully acquainted with, thof ennobling principles which cannot fail to halve a powerful influence on their minds. The refuh will be, under every poflible contingency of th contest, that the despots of Europe mult in their own defence, and to preserve any fcmblance o» power and government, meliorate the conditio* of the great tnafs of their fubje£l«. The Pre fide nt of the United States arrived Baltimore Uil Saturday, on hi» rbute to Virginia. The Post-Master General of the United •States, is now on a visit to the various Poll- Offices in the Northern States. Account*; have been publiihed in fcveral pa pers of the capture of Tippo Saib's capital, Seringapatam, by the forces under Lord Corn wallis. The whole now appears to be a fabri cation in London, for jobbing purpoies. Later and authentic intelligence, ftafes, that Corn wailis had taken some small fort 1 ?, was on his march towards Seringapatam, and that Tippo had made lome proportions for peace, which were not acceded to. His Excellency George Clinton, Esq. on the third inifc. was qualified into office as Governor of the state of New-York ; and the day follow ing eiefted Piefiderit of the Society of the Cin cinnati in that itate. We are informed in the National Gazette of Saturday last, that the new regulation of the poft-ofiice in refpeft to newspapers, is u an un happy affair, and will make the ensuing general election not so iatisfactory a touchstone of the public mind as it ought to have been. For it is certain that in many places where the infor mation contained in the papers will not now I circulate, the elections will turn very differently from what they would, if the people knew as much as is known here on the spot." The Salem Gazette some time ago contained a remark to the fpllowing purport— u Some printers, at the feat of goverment, seem to think that the people at a distance from that favorite /pot, are so ignorant, that they know nothing." The author of the above quotation from the National Gazette, ft undoubtedly well informed; for it is certainly true that the people in the different parts of the Union, are determined to fee, hear and judge for themselves ; and altho" t!iey have been admonished, catechized, corrected, berated, beduped, befooled, and otherwise politely, candidly, honestly and fairly treated for more than nine months palt, bv the truly benevolent, federal and principled fup portcrs of the National Gazette Yet alas 1 alas ! u the elections will turn very differently from what" thele £ige conservators, of re pub licanimi had fondly and anxiously anticipated. Alas ! alas ! that this is true. FROM THE COLUMBIAN CENT IN EL, To the Hon. JOHN JAY, Esq.
