Haw have the two barties a&ed Cuce putting the matter on tnis ifluc ■ As ptepa rations for wai cannot, be made without wney,. tl.c paity for nego ciatiotf- and defenfive meal'urcs, proposed a number of taxes upon luxuries, which would have Veen paid chiefly by the rich, and a tax upon fait, which would have fallen equally upon every Older of citi- Zcns * * . . The party for threatning opposed molt of these taxes, and iwfccd seemed willing to agree to almolt none. According to them, cocichfcs tind chariots ought not to be taxed, which are, used chiefly by the rit h ; nor loat-fugar, which is,chiefly con fiiined by the wealthy, or tiiofe in good circumftanct'Sjwho aic best.able to pay tax es. I" (hort, as if to cast a ridicule up on tht whole business, they propofdd a land-tax, for which about thirteen vyted } anu ;i tax upon cyder, for which 1 do not lear;i that any voted j and, to crown the" whole, an" additional duty upon importAl goods, when evci y oue knows, that the reason for having recpuife tQ internal ob jects of taxation, is because, dining war, little revenue can be expected from impor- » tations- Suth has been nearly the conduct of the two parties in while a for midable power has been thiehtCuing the UmtedStates with all the horrors of war. The one struggling for mil tary prepirati. 011s to ward cm or meet that event: the other llruggliug to prevent them : The one, to nle a borrowed language, holding out to England the Olive-Branch and the fwotd ; the other, a nettle aud an empty scabbard. To which party {hall we coniigfi the palm of wisdom, forelight and magnani mity ; ;o the gentlemen of the olive branch and sword, <il thoi'e of the nettle and empty fcabbaid? Without undertaking to dccide, or as sign motives to either party, other than a love of country and the public good, it may be permitted to mention-, with np plaufe, those representatives fiom this state, as well as from other ilates, who, though sometimes feurid with one fide, and fometiines with the other, Were al ways Found on the fide of vigorous mea sures for defence. C. „ Baltimore, ;ssay z£u 179a'. - n UNITED STATES. BALTIMORE, May 29. A writer in a Eotlon paper of the 17th inllant, speaking of the Marquis de la Fayette, fays— " Pruflia, in which this early friend to America is confined, is in treaty with the O'uited States, Would it be derogatory to the honor of Cohgrefs to do what the Bi itirti Parliament have rcfufed ? We trust it rrould not." PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 3. Mrs. Alar shall, whose superior powers are ever exerted to please, has from the com mer.cement of her appearance in the New Theatre, been received with uninterrupted applause. The anticipated gratification of feeing her in two inch contralled chara&ers as thoie of Juliet and the Romp, will un doubtedly attraa a croudcd house, and leave her no cause to regret her exertions to obtain American patronage.

He further adds, that they were prepared for lighting Gen. Wayne the moment he mov ed ; and that the Britifti were erecting gar risons at the Miami river.

' thuaTßE^ OBSERVER No. 3Gt Mr. Fenno-, The people who attended the Theatre last evening, were highly gratified, by the jjerforrnance, especially by that of Mra. Warrell, whose benefit it was. This ac tress, always perfed, in her part, clialle and propei in action, has experienced the approbation of the public, in a full house; a circumstance which must give pleaflire to every benevolent mi'iiL Mr. Whitlock in the character of Sir John Flowerdale in I.ioncl and Clarifia, defeives particular notice; he has always filled his part, with much propriety ; but was truly great in it last evening. Upon the discovering his daughter's affections for Lionel, he exceeded all expectation. In the muiical parts, Mrs. Warrell and Mrs. Oldmixon, were fuccefsrul, in au fwering.if not exceeding,tjtie high expecta tions which were formed, from a know ledge of their muiical talents. The Observer, feels a juftification, for a short address to a generous public, in favor of Mrs. Marshall. An aCtress, who has made so manv ex ertions to please, and who has so well succeeded, will not, perhaps, be in want of any afiiftance, from the feeble efforts of the Observer—But (hould he fail of success, his attempt is derived from bene volence : The parts of Juliet, and the Romp, alfigncd to this actress for Wednelday evening, are such, as the public may pio mife themselves, from her talents, a high entertainment—and when they know that Mrs. Marlhall'e benefit, will much depend on their attendance in the firft instance, as well as their approbation in the second: The Observer cannot but anticipate a full house, and is confident the audience will | be richly entertained. ' No aftrefs has ever clone more, to obtain die approbation of the friends of the Dra ma, than Mis. Marshall; and it would be painful, if ftie should be neglected, at her benefit. June 3d, 1794.

Tlie anxiety "of the public on the late rumours, with refpeA to the king of Prus sia and the Emperor, has naturally given rife to a variety of ftorits j the truth or faitliood of which it is not easy to afcer taiu. It is said, however, and with pro bability, as the cause of the; journey both of the arch-duke to Vienna, and of lord Elgin to England ; that the Pruflian mi "ilter at BrulTels had presented an official note to prince Charles, of so intereiling a kind as to induce his highness to repair to the head-quarter 3 to hold a consultation with the prince of Cobourg and the other chiefs, at which the Imperial and British minilters assisted. The result of this coun cil, hsld at Arth, the arch-duke thought proper himfelf to var to Vienna, and lord Elgin to England. The fubilance of the communV ation is said to be an of fer made to Piuffia by the French, so wife, moderate, and political, as to in duce him to entertain it cordially, and to submit it seriously to the other combined powers. The King of Prussia cannot be purchased for a million, and if he is to go to the highest bidder, there cin be little doubt as to the re s Lit.—The Frtudi Republic has, at this mo ment, by the lowest computation, not less than 40 millions sterling in its Exchequer. The committee of Public Safety polTefiing so large a stock, with so precarious an inter est in it, will not be eaiily out-bidden, what ever be the competition! ANECDOTE. One day the Arcbbilhop of Canterbury said to Betterton, the player, " Pray inform me, Mr. Betterton, what is the reason you adtors, ou the flage, can afFeit your audieii • ces, with fpcaking of tilings imagi ary, as if they uere real; while we, in the church, i'peak of ihings real, which our congregations receive, as if they were only imaginary ?" " Why, my Lord, replied Betterton, the reason is plan: We aiflors, on the llage, speak of tilings imaginury, as if they were real; and you, in the pulpit, speak of things real, as if they wefv onty imaginary."
