I tließritiflv army lias marched qufte through it; Sad the Engliih have used every policv of flattery, of terror, and severity, but nil in vain, and wovfe than in vain ; ail has confpii ed to make the people of New-jc !'ey foine of the moll brave and Jkilful to resist them. New-York, before the commencement of hos tilities,was supposed to be the moii luke warm of the middle States, in the opposition to the de signs of the Engliih. The Engliih armies have invaded it from Canada and from the ocean, and have long been in pofleffionof three.islands, New- York Island, Long-lfland, and Staten-lfland ; yet the relt of that Province has flood immoveable, through all the varieties of the fortune of war, for four years, and increases in zeal and unanimity every year. I think, therefore, there is not apoffibility, that any one of the Thirteen States ihould ever volun tarily revolt or fnbmit. The efforts and exertions of General Howe, in New-York, Loiig-Jlland, Staten-lfland, New-Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, to obtain recruits; the vail expence that he put his pav-mafter to in appointing new corps of officers, even general officers: the pains they took to in iift men, among all the llragglers of those coun tries, and among many thousands of prisoners which they then had in their hands ; —all these jneafures obtaining buj three thousand fix hundred men, and very few of these Americans, accord ing to General Howe's own account,ihews, 1 think, to a demonstration, that no voluntary revolt or fubmiflion is ever to be apprehended. But even supposing Rhocle-Ifland ihould submit, what could this small colony of fifty thousand fouls do, in the midil of Maflachufetts, Connecticut, and New-Hampshire ? Supposing Delaware, thirty thousand fouls, ihould submit, what influence could it have upon the great States of New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, among which it lies ? If Georgia, at the extremity of all, ihould sub mit, what influence could this little society of thirty thousand fouls have upon the two Caro linas and Virginia ? The colonies are at such vast distances from one another, and the country is so fortified every where, by rivers, mountains, and forefts, that the conqueftor fubmillion of one part has no influence upon the reft. I have the honor to be, See. JOHN ADAMS. MR. CALKOEN. E ROPE AN INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, August 12. The Britons of France, in whose country the city of Nantz lies, appear wifely to be as careful •t the rights of the Crown, as they are of the rights of the People; and to be as ready to support the former, as they are determined to maintain the latter. Carefully avoiding the wild chimeras of mo dern reformers, who would either abolish mon archy totally, or leave it a mere empty name, they think the prerogatives of the Crown not only com patible with the liberties of the people, but abso lutely netelfary to the preservation of those liber ties. They also take care, left certain revolutionists Ihould luffer themselves to be carried away by no tions of ambition, that they abliortlie idea of tak ing the crown from him who at present wears it, or from those upon whom the inheritance of it is entailed by law. A short extraift from the Nantz address will clearly (hew both their wisdom and their spirit:— The city of Nantz having had the advantage of being one of the firft in the kingdom, to raise its voice to claim and allcrt the unalienable rights of the people, feels itfelf bound to manifelt, in the molt striking manner, its attachment to the privileges which the National Allembly has so nobly and so courageoully aflerted. '< It therefore eagerly embraces this opportu nity to declare, that it adopts, and will moil: fted faft'ly adhere to, not only yourrefolution of the 17th of June, but to all those that followed it. " That the interest of the people ofthis coun try is inseparable from that of their Sovereign, and that they never will be able to (hake off the yoke under which they have 1b long groaned, but by giving the greatell vigour to the executive pow er, the citizens of Nantz 1 wear upon the Altar of "''eir Country, in the presence of the dreadful and common Judge both of Kings and Subjects, that they will maintain the Royal Authority be longing to the Crown, and will refill, to the ut most of their power, the attempts of those who may be daring enough to wiili to divide it with any body of men whatever. " Full of gratitude to a long line of Kings, who strove to break the chains made for man in mges of barbarism, and to reltore him to the dig nity of his nature— " Penetrated with the 1110 ft profound refpeft for the virtues of the beneficent Prince who has restored to France her National Aflemblies and *<ho feels that the rights of the Crown, and the rights and property of the fubjei t, ft and upon one and the fame foundation—the Citizens of Nantz hilU'Judt their Representatives to proclaim the re fpeclful homage of their inviolable loyalty and fidelity to the Family upon the Throne, and their love for the Patriot King whom God has given them. " They raise their hands to Heaven, and thus solemnly swear, that they are ready to facrifice their fortunes, and to lpill even the lalt drop of their blood, to maintain the fcepterin the House of Bourbon. " In the fame manner, they solemnly swear, that they are ready to make the fame facrifices to support the refolutioiis of your augult Ailembly, and to defend the liberty of the French Nation, whose greatelt enemies have been the enemies of Kings. " They call for vengeance on the heads of those who are wicked enough to calumniate a loyal na tion, and a faithful people. " The Citizens of Nantz think it a sacred duty to pay homage to the zeal, the underltanding, and patriotism of the National Alfembly. " Should attempts he made to lay snares round you, or to stagger you either by terror of menaces, or the fed uc r tion of intrigue, look behind you, and you will fee twenty-five millions of people, with their eyes fixed upon you, and waiting in silence to hear from you what is to be their lot, and that of their posterity. " At this fight, your courage rising to the dig nity of the augnft character, no less sacred than that of the prielthood, with which your Country has invefteti you, you will (light all menaces and feduiftion in contemplating themajefty of the firlt People in the Universe. " You will think then only of the bleflings that will attend you when you return individually among your fellow citizens, to proclaim their re covered liberty, and the beneficent a&s of a be loved Sovereign, who cannot long be deceived.— " Who, emulous of the glory of Louis XII, and of his own renowned ancestor Henry IV. and wish ing to tread their steps, feels the true greatness of a Monarch is to reign over a free people. " In a word, who knows that the law, that emanation of Divine Wisdom, ought to be refpedt ed by Sovereigns theinfelves, if they know their own interests." At the late infurreflions in France very naturally oc cupy all convcrfation, this Jhort Jketch of the Royal family of that Kingdom may not be unacceptable to the generality of the public : Louis XVI is now about thirty-three years of age ; he ascended the throne of his grand-father about seventeen, and shortly afterwards married a filter of the present Emperor of Germany. When he was firft married, he was thin to a degree of particular observation ; but being na turally of a mild, quiescent temper, and indulg ing in the pleasures of the table, he is now, per haps one of the fatteft men in his dominions. To counteract this in some degree, he rises ear ly, and almost daily takes the diversion of the chace ; but from dinner till bed-time indulges, with the intervention of hardly any other buli nefs than the signing dispatches, See. He has had four children, two of whom are lead. His present family consists of the Dauphin, x child of about fix yeais old, and a princess. The Oueen is nearly about the King's age, has much majesty and vivacity in her port, and is on the whole reckoned one of the fineft women in France. Monsieur, the King's next brother, is nearly is fat as the Sovereign, and was in the beginning as the present troubles rather a favorite with the people. The Count d'Artois, the King's second brother, isa tall, well-moulded, elegant figure, with much vivacity and deciiion in his character. He ren iered himfelf unpopular in the firft meeting of :he Notables, and seems to have increased that unpopularity to a degree of proscription. The Court part) has for several years back been ealled the Queen's, aided by the Count d'Artois : these two were said to have the 1110 ft prevailing influence on the King in all his mea sures. September 3. It excites our wonder when we consider that among two Uncles and three Royal Brothers, there is not one ofthem whole prudence or (Economy circumscribes his expences within his Princely income : The world seems at present to be in a very ticklish humour.—They should con template ferioully on the uncertainty of human events, from the examples at present before them in France, and view with trembling eyes the im mense debt this Kingdom groans under :—To feed the liypocondriac, and not at all to check the high spirit of unthinking Demigods. Letter from the Minijiers appointed by the King, to M. le Chapelliere President of the National altfembly. " Sir, —Called by the King to his Council, we are anxious to difclofeour sentiments to the Na tional Afi'embly. " The marks of attention with which we have been honored from the happy moment of our un ion, and, above all, our fidelity to the principles of the National Aflembly, and our refpecftful con fidence in them, are motives the molt sure of giv ing us courage. " We cannot for a moment forget, that in order to fulfil truly- the intentions of the King we ought ever to huvtf present to our t\.< great truth, which the National Aflembiy l,' as pronounced, and which can never be repeated in vain, " that the power and liappinefs of the Kii n . cannot be maintained with dignity, noreftabliih.

Extract of a letter from Ebenezrr, in the if ate of Georgia, dated June 25, i 7 Bg. " We have Hill our dreads about us from the copper-colourcd sovereign. What our hopes lead us to expeCl one d.i v ', is fruftrated the next. The keen part of this community adiudge him artful political, and rather dilutive, but not totally deiti'tute of virtue and magnanimity. Indeed, lie feeius to expett peace on his own terms: therefore, Ciod only knows when it will be confirmed, unlds Congiefs take the business on themselves. " The feat of the present disturbances answers now as a ren dezvous for European adventurers—therefore, the monarch wiil be never at a loss for white chieftains of some denomination. They have lately ushered in a new Principal at the head of their renowned tribe of horse, by birth an Irithman—a substitute for one Thompson, an Englifhrnan, who once headed this detach ment, and we believe not undefcrvedly the favorite of the rmnj genius, except in the cafe of being fufpefted of an attrocious crime that of adultery with one of their squaws of the firft confequencc, which reduced him to the necessity of decamping and leaving Ins property, or else lose his life. The present is a man further ad vanced in years, has been much longer in the country and of good military talents. Different accounts confirm him a perfect ty rant, unawed by companion, continually embruing his hands in. the blood of the innocent, for the ill-gotten plunder." HALIFAX, October 13. We are desired by Authority to publish fortlie information of Malters of Veflels coming into this harbor, that the Block-houic 011 the Citadel- Hill, which was a conspicuous obje<ft, is now re moved, on account of its ruinous condition. The Hag and signal Staff Hill remains, and may be seen from Sea as usual. The Hulk also of the large ship fometimefince stranded, at the backof Thrum Cape, was beat to pieces 111 thelate storm. NEWBURY-PORT, October 21.

BOSTON, October 20. As it must eventually tend to promote the hap piness and glory of the King, and the freedom and felicity of the nation, we cannot but wish, as the firft operations of the National Allembly of France have been marked with the fame fea tures—that the French Nation may be as happy in eftablifliing a Constitution as their allies the United States of America have been, who now enjoy the compltte operation of a fyltem ofgovern :nent which has aftoniihed Europe—drawn from its most celebrated Civilians the highelt encom iums, and is calculated to promote not only the happiness, honor, and glory of the Union—bat eflentially to promote the Rights of Mankind. The Hall of the elegant edifice known by th« name of Faneuil-Hall—was previous to the war, ornamented with the portraits of several digni fied personages which were either destroyed or taken away by the British, in the time of the liege ; —one of them was the full length of George 11, King of Great Britain, which was placed before the middle window at the weft end of the Hall. Would it not be a lively and exprefliveteftimo nial of our regard and veneration for the illultri ous personage, who is momently expetfted to ho* nor this town with his prefence—for the town to request their committee to prepare an address, to express a desire that the Prefidentof the United States, would be plealed to permit our ingenious townsman and refpeifted portrait painter (Mr. Johnson) to wait on him for the purpole of tak ing an exact and full length portrait to be put m the fame place where the portrait ot the King of Great Britain formerly was ; which would a a rich brilliancy to the Hall, aud givepleafureto everv real friend of America.
