It is rumoured, that the Jupiter, of je guns, Commodore Lofiack, with a'ftjuadron of frigates, has fallen in with the French fcjuadron on their return to the Mauritius, driven themalhore, and destroyed the whole .of them. It is affcrted, we know not on what au thority, that several Briti{h officers, suppo sed to have died in the prisons of Hyder Ally and Tippoo, have been found still living in tlir dungeon of Seringnpatam. The iuccefsful termination of. this short war lVcures to us the foveitignty of India. The Nabob of Arcot, who oruce fliared tl e Carnatic with Hyder Alii, is no longer powerful, and the Mahrattas alone poflefs extenl'ive territories, and a considerable mili tarv force. But the Mahrattas are attached to us, and even if they were not, the de ftru&ion of Tippoo would tffe&ually prevent them from rifkng a eonteft. MISCELLANEOUS ARTICLES. The famous strong pass, called the Bo chetta, is again mentioned in some account: to have been taken or. the 18th, and the al lies, it is added, had entered Genoa on the 2iftult. at which time an English fcjuadron was cruizing before that city. , A letter from the commander »f the Da nifk naval force in the Mediterranean, con tains the disagreeable intelligence, that the Dey of Tripoli has declared war against the Hanfe Towns, Hamburg, Lubeck, and Bre men, and that a Tripoline eorfair has. alrea dy captured oft" Alicant, two Danish ftiips and sent them to Tunis, under the pre tence of their cargoes being Hamburgh pro- t . , perty. We have great realon to believe that the Gbouans are again in great force ; and ve- ry attive, though secret preparations are making in a certain quarter, for powerful succour to be sent them. The dire&ory have published throughout Paris a proclamation) in which they endea vour to alarm the people with the idea cl the return of Royalty. In this proclama tien, both the danger and the exhortation to provjde against it, tre dated in the most general terms. The Directory how ever do not appear to rely fer the support of their authority merely on their powers of conciliation. Letters from Venice state, that a con clave is to be held ehber in that city or Pa dua, for the elc&ion ef a new Pope. No less than three or four candidates are mentioned for this dignity ? f 'i V*.

THE LAY PREACHER. « THIS* £ £ TUB DAYS OF VKSG K AKC F..'' FROM these words the preacher migh l naturally be led to a confederation of th e aftoniftiing scenes which are st this time dis played in evory part of the world ; and to notice the general " afflidlion, fucli as was hot from the beginning of the creation which God created, unto Ais time." " Wars and rumours of wars" are daily founded in our ears—" Nation rifeth up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom," and " the earth is filled with violence." These are gceat and awful scenes worthy the contemplation of the philol< Mier, the politician and the chriftian. My detign, however, leads me, more particularly, to notice the source and nature of the " ven geance' 1 which " evil minded men" are en deavoring to bring upon our own country, by flipping the foundation of morality and civil subordination. It is worthy of remark, that thoujh haughty and tyrannical men often put on the appearance of humility and moderation, for the purpose of cotnpailing an end, the days of vengeance" will assuredly follow when they will relume their proper cl.arac ter, and "<otne down with great wrath" upon such as have opposed their wicked pur poses, and with as great insolence and scorn upon such as have been their devoted abet tors. Since jtfc; world began, there has ever been an order ©f beings, *o wham the fcop tre of virtue has beeti Wte a rod of iron, and tie reftrarnts of law, morality and religion, | grievous as th» bands of death. This order mar be lineally traced, through every age, > ur:t founder, who, in the days of )'oi , was honored with .the title of •• That pe : the DevH." His partizans and fol!o'»trs 1 ve since been denominated " tons e B-. ;<i"~_ "defpifers of government," leyel !;r , cofci is and democrats. Though by ,-r wicked intent, foine have beeu " ly Co called;" and others " among th», ipl- ones" have been unwarily decoy the paths of error, the great body rave ftipported & conlittcncy and of chara&er, and proved them forthy of their fire." " Liiertji tj" was throrigi nal. motto of the ■ continues, at the preient day, to be the signal of attack upon every sacred in- Ed t ftitution, human and divine. To pass o.vev the fir ft revolution in which the aich-democrat loft his francbile in Hea ven, we next find him inculcating the doc trines of his order upon the minds of our progenitors. He firft perfitades them to exrrcife the * liberty which they mani feftly possess, of revolutionizing the consti tution of Heaven, and backs the persuasion •with the resistless argument of " tquality," telling them "ye (hall be as gods." Elated by tliefe flattering profpedts, they greedily make the experiment. But when they fondly look to become the equals of Cod himfelf, •* behold, sudden deftrudtion Cometh upon them-1" and the dnyi «f their anticipated glory ftdly prove to " be the <Uyi of ven- geance." The difciplrs of the adversary, in this and ia every age, have faithfully copied-tiis ex ample,—flattering to deceive, vnd deceiving Ito deftrov. " Ungodly men, who walk af ter their own lusts,"—" riotous mm" and " wine-bibbers" have long b«in pra&ifing theif fublile art? to ptrfuade the people of ikis country to prostitute tlieir hard-earned liberty, like our parents of old, to the pur port of their own dcftru&ion. They exer cise every artifice, which they inherit from ; tfye original fuunder of theirTeft, to bring into contempt and disrepute the venerable inflitutions and wholesome ui'agcs of our fathers, and to set in the " high places" of authority, men of their own fort, who ",have a like proportion of lineaments, cf manners and of iphit." They slander and traduce those men and those mcftfures that alone con tribute to the l'upport of our dignity and our i happiness. " The baser fort" they employ in writing and printing evil reports " of those things wh i*h they underfland not," reviling religion, science and government. They tell you from the pen of an unlettered scape-jail that your peaceable brethren, in the east country, are conspiring again.!! your liberties : That the clergy and the col lege? arc uniting their efforts to bring you into fubjeftiou to a clerical despotism. But " believe them not" for " they are liars and the truth is not in them." It is one of the " lubtile arts of the adversary" to lead your afFeftions astray frbm each other, and induce you to (lop your ears against the salutary truths of religion, and t» deinolilh your fa minaries of science, those strong holds of rational liberty and dignified " Thel'c be the days," in which you who are friends to good order and good govern ment ought to support, vigorously, the i»fli tutions of religion ; to " encourage the hearts and strengthen the harnis" of those who « minifterin holy things to inflruft your children and form their minds to ha- bits of order, .science and virtue. The " font of Beliel" are striving, '« bjrgood words and fair speeches" to place themlelves and their adherents in the feats cf power. Be watch ful, therefore—be circumfped\, and ufc your liberty of fuffrage " as npt abufmg it;" for should the " defpifers of government" ob tai» their end, tl*y will cxprcjife (c vert geance" equally on tlieir eppofers and tors ; for " 'Ti» in common proof. That lowlintfs is young ambition's ladder. Whereto the climber upward turns his fact; But when he once attains the upmofl round, He then unto the ladder turns hj» back, Lotks into the Clouds, fcorinnjj the base decrees By which he did ascend." In tbesc diijs the. " fcrvants of fin," in some uit-afure, triumph. Havkig insinuated them selves into favor, they use their power, as their father did his, for the ruin and inifery of those whom they have deluded. The virtuous and the upright are beginning to defpor.d, bteatife their '• good is evil fpr .ci■ of," and " wliat is comely envenoms that bears it," Some, for fear of the" -xn. geance," are beginning to desert the cauiV of truth and virtue, and are becoming • t-.. fenfints of corruption." But beliei ■ uie, my brethren, they are leaning upon . bro ken reed. Let us rather "continue ft adi'aft ur.to the end" and << not be weary ci doing; for, in doe time, we Ihall rea twc laini not." 1 - The Lay Prcacbtr of Ptnnsj tan:,.

In about three weeks, tlic next session of Congrefi commences. The lirft workings of the unrighteous leaven, wherewith it is lea venened, will be an attempt to draw from the new pacific advance towards the French Republic, arguments for the abolition of the army and na*J. Whatever other bene ficial 'or ndverle results may arise out of the negotiation te be attempted, one thing ap. pears certain j viz. the impoflifeility of any cessation taking place in the depredations of the French, upon the commerce of try. In the fiift place, the fvflem of priva. teering is a prime i'ource of their revenue ; and in the second, that government poffeffe* not the power to retrain its fobje&s, from pursuing their aggrandizement in this, as well as other ways, per fas et nefas. Ter tio, it would be a concession and an acknow ledgemeiH of crinie, which woald be eon veited even by acceftiries, into engines of deilruAion to the reigning powers. Our navy will therefore, if there exist any true policy (a tiling not to be doubted) receive additional strength and encouragement. Our information dates, that Serious dif coutcnt has been excited, even in New En gland, thro' the usual means of democratic artifice and intrigue : The principal topic converted to this puvpofe, has beer, the army of tbe United States. The absurdity of de mocrats being equal to their viciottfneSs, 'twere folly to attempt inftillingaay ration al ide»s into their minds ; it is, neverthe less, obvious, that to organize the Sovereign people into an armed force, is to realize, ill the completed degree, the very favorite SyS tem of their hearts; for it is certainly no petith prmcipii to assert, that men when congregated together, and pofifcffcd of the means of enforcing that Sovereignty of their natures which is inalienable, are more truly in the enjoyment of said rights, than when in a dispersed state, and without those means. Now, no one will pretend to deny that in an armj', the firft mentioned date exids. It may perhaps be preteijded, that, being under command of their officers, they will be in fluenced against their wiibts; but are the officers leis Sovereign than they ? and ar» they not endowed with the fame natures and the fame delires ? If, therefore, men when in that Situation where they enjoy mod of the attributes of Sovereignty, are found lead Sovereign, what is it but nil evidence that they were never de Signed to be So ? Si.
