The Elector of T: eves, by a formal decree, has ordered ail the French Emigrants to q-tit hi? EieCfo rate; and has requelied the Charge des Affaires of Prance, resident here, to make his intention known to the French government —his (edulousde iire to live on terms of friendibi pand peace with France, and of his hopes, that the French nation would not, in consequence, attack his dominions. Scj° It was in this ele<Sorate, that the head quarters ot the French re fugee Princes and Nobles, was ellab lifhed. MADRID, May 6. A new order of Nobility was the last: week eftablifhed—lc confifls en tirely ot Ladies, patronized bv the Queen, and are styled " Tlie Royal order of Queen Maria-Louiila." Count a'Aranda, the Prime Minis ter, has conciliated the efteein and confidence of the nation. He endea vours to ameliorate the fitnatinn of the numerous victims to the ambition and hatred of his predecessors. Several exiles have been recalled. To judge by exterior marks, our connection with Francc becomes daily more fa vorable. May 8. M.

May The French troops teok poflelfioii of Parentinethe 29th April, after the Auitrians had left it. The people of all degrees welcomed the arrival of the Freneh, with " Vivt la nation Francais," ami other expres sions of friendihip and regard. BOSTON, July 25 The French papers the Editor lia? received, give the latest inieiligence from France, yet arrived. They do not however (and they are impartial) contain a word rel'pecting either the late intended flight of the French or the miraculous deltru<Sion of the i 5,000 troops of France, in a thin) engagement with the Aultrians and Rulihr.s; which the Englifli papers hsve been so particular in detailipg— and which the American papers have been so faithful in copying. A sum mary of what they do contain, is— That the National Alfembly has been agitated by a suspicion, that there existed in Paris, a club inimical to France, the members of which had access to the Councils of the King, a..d cjnveyed information of every nieafure to Foreign Courts, even be fore they were divulged in France— Thai the King had addressed the As fembly on this subject, alluring them, if such a body did exist, of which he was doubtful, that he would take the mod efficacious measures to discover its members, and to defeat their ma chinations. At the fame time he cau tions the AUembly againtt being led] ioto intemperate measures, by reports and conjectures spread among them solely to deceive them. — That a de cree bad beeu debated for banishing ' from France, all the Clergy, who do not take the civic oath.—That a cen sus of the inhabitants of Paris was in agitation, in order to discover their occupations, means of fubfifteiiie, and probable objects —That tbe revolu tion spirit of the nation had not a bated, but daily displayed it fell" in patriotic gifts and public facrifices.— That the molt effective means appear to be taking to eftablilh a severe dis cipline in the armies—toeffedi which. Gen. Rcchambeau had been prevailed on, uotwithftandingthe ill ftateofhis health, to continue his command of tbe Northern army—and Gen. Luck ner to return to his command 011 the Rhine—And that measures were in train for the mod exemplary punifli r.ient of tlie murderers of Gen. Dil lon.—ln Ibort, iKKwitbHandHig the agitation.and intemperance of« part pt'jJie nation, which discovers illelt in uian? base and impolitic tious, ! here appears a co*l r detf u%to re! fpirti in the great body which.mud rife fnperior to every dif altrous event, and wiiich BHifl Wta tually ellablifh their glorious Revo-. i lotion, onih; br-aad and solid basis of; jdue Equality and Freedom. . ' The Atiignats of France, like the " Old Conti" of America, is a ther mometer by which we can judge of the Hate of the nation. On the 22d Viav, 100 livres in tilver, commanded 16.3 litres in aflignats—an inconCder al>le depreciation, conlidering the then situation of the kingdom. At the close of the poll lor t he choice of Directors of the Union Bank, on Thurldav lalt, it appeared that the number of votes for each candidate was as follows :—Jofeph Blake, 1 397 ; Benjamin Greene, 1348 ; Nathaniel Feliowes, 1268 ; Samuel Salilbury, 1252 ; Moles Gill, 1244 ; DavidGreene, 1229; Samuel Brown, 1149 ; William Smith, 1041 ; Samuel Biodget, jun. 1041 ; Perez Morion, 982; Samuel ISewall, 959; Samuel Phillips, 937; Bei jamin Atiftin, jun. 924 ; Samuel D'exrer, jun. 874; John j)erby, and Oliver Wendell, 636.

We have the pleaTure of inform ing ihe public that the gentlemen who are now in this town, on the sur vey of a canal from Connecticut river to Boston, have discovered a very na tural and easy communication from the Connecticut, by Miller's River to the Nafiiua, and from thence to Laiv caller. It is sincerely wilhed they may be as fuccefsful from Lancaller by this town to Bcfton. Such a wa ter communication would be as high ly dignifying to government as it would be advantageous to the capital of this commonwealth, to the weilern counties,and the Hates ot New-Hamp fhire'and Vermont. ALBANY, July 26. The dwelling-house ofa Mr.Broik. near Johnstown, was lately deftroj;cd by fire—when three of his children periihed in the flames, and the wh6le of his boufe-hold furniture and wear- ing apparel was consumed.—This ve ry melancholy affair happened in the morning, when neither Mr. Brock nor his wife were at home—she bad gone about a mile distance to milk h?r cows, and when she returned the honfe was nearly consumed. The dwelling-house and black fmiih's (hop of Mr. Nathaniel Burr, alf"o near Johnttown, was likewise destroyed by fire a short time fiuce, together with 100 dollars in bank bills, which he had a few days before obtained by mortgaging his farm to the loan office, and all his house-hold furniture, wearing apparel and work ing tools, except two or three articles. bath spring waters Several chemical experiments liave been made on these medicinal waters, 'oy different medical gentlemen. They agree that the waters contain a neu- 'ral fait, which moll probably is the vitriolic acid combined with an earth. Further experiment will determine this point with greater certainty. The only ingredients used were nitrat ed fi!ver, nitrated mercury, lime-wa ter, fixed vegetable and pure volatile alkalies and nutgalls. Evaporation and diliillation were had recourse to. Their operations upon the human body are undoubted. Generally when half a pint is taken anaufea is imme diately excited ; when larger quan tities are drank, ihey prove laxative with foine, to others they act as an emetic, and they generally increase their appetite. Upon the whole, the gentlemen of the faculty conclude that the wa ters may be of great service in dis eases originating from a rednndar.cy of bile,and relaxations of the (lotnach and bowels being alfi> a molt excel lent cold bath, they may be advanta geoufiy used in cases of chronic rlieu matiftns, and of,general de'oilit". ALEXANDRIA, (Vir.) July 26. On Sunday last the following ine. lancholv accident happened a: the 74 \camp near this torn. Serj.Kr.ECH, of Capr. Hannah's company, going through the manual exercile with 2 Corpoial, the la'.ter had chanced to take up a nntfket which, for a parti cular purpose, had been left loaded. When they caine to the fatal words —Prefcrt —Fir:"—The Corporal did so, and lodged the contents in the Serjeant's body—which iuftatitly pot a period to his exigence ! Serjeant Keech was a young man of great military prcmife. His zea! for the service—his correct deport ment— and exemplary conduit—ren der his loss a fubjert of general re gret, both in and out of the company. His remains were attended by his brother soldiers, and interred with such military honors as were in iheir power. In testimony of thegood de- Ifert of the deceased, an unusual num ber of citizens joined in the procefli on to the burying ground of the Episcopal Church, vrliere a very ani mated discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Page, fiom the following words:—(t. Corinthians x. 12.) — " W hcrefbrc let hint thai thinkith he ftandeth, take heed left k: fall." BALTIMORE, July 27.
