Such are the ahufes which we have never ceaf ed to attack, and which we are daily engaged in destroying. Every day approaches us to the period, when freed from the fetters which have hitherto restrained our powers, we (hall at length take among nations, the station that was alligned ns. Then our liberty, our power, our fortune, will become the patrimony of all thofc who have shared our deftiwy ; then, our profperiry will extend to all those who lhall contrast with us. i he National Allembly is unacquainted with the language and the ihifts of political artifice ; it is ignorant of, and moreover despises the means, ol captivating the p»ople by any other ways than byjultice. Reciprocal attachment, mutual ad vantages and unalterable fidelity ; these, people of the colonies, thele are what it promises and what it demands from yon. The Krench nation experienced a long time (ince what it may expe<ft from you : we demand no other sentiments from you ; we rely on them with certainty, and we wi(h that they were daily more merited and more juftified on our part : we recommend to you at this moment a profound tranquility, a Uriel union between yourselves, the n;noft celerity in the labors which are to prepare your new exis tence. These counsels are ellential to your hap. pinels ; ihey are ellential to your fafety. Show not among you the example of divilion, of a con tagious fermentation. You want peace more than others, and you arc no longer obliged to agitate yourselves to obtain by coaqueft, what the National Aflembly has resolved to propose to you, from the firll moment you became the ob jeifl ofits deliberations. It is now going to arrange in a series of articles, a Sketch of the molt eflential initrudtions which it fends to you. (To be continued.) NEW-YORK, JULY 28. Papers by the Brig RacbeilCapt.

Since the arrival of a courier from Vienna, and tiie vific paid to the King at l'otfdam, by the Aultrian Ambaflhdor, in company with the Comte fie Finckenftein, Minister of State, the report of peace has circulated again. LONDON, May 31. By an express received yesterday at Carleton houie, we learn, and we announce the pleasing intelligence to the public with great fatisfacftion, that on Friday morning the Dntchefs of Devon ihire, was fafely delivered at Paris of a son and heir to that ill nftricus houle. The letters from Spain, though not of so war like a tendency as by the former mails, leave us no room to doubt of the intentions of the Court of Madri d. Taking every cirt nm Itance in to con sideration, there appears a deep laid fyftcm of offenfive operations between that Court and the aristocracy in France. The spirit of liberty has spread quite to the foot of Mount Etna, the peasants of Sicily seriously threaten the Barons to throw oft" their yoke, and the latter have offered the King a million to co»» ftrurft another ship in the room of thcßoger, which ■was burnt by all incendiary of 'he inob, in cale Jie will protedl thein agaiult the peasantry, and preserve their privileges. Wiien the last letters camc from Cadiz,the Spa jiiards had a fleet of 24 fail of the line, and gates, nearly ready to put to sea. They were arming with the utmost dispatch in every quarter. Letters received in town lalt night affirm, that Portugal is arming in all its ports with an unfual spirit of warlike preparations. A violent earthquake has again done confidera ble damage at Medina, and has also destroyed whole provinces adjacent, leaving a large volca no open Letters jufl received from Madrid advise, that . total change has taken place in the Spanilh Mi liftry, on tlie 25th of May last.

GEORGE WASHINGTON. THE TABLET. No. CXXXV. " Knowledge is valuable in proportion as it affords light in managing our pfaClical duties or employ ments." IT is to be regreted that men of ingenuity do not turn more of" their attention to works of utility. Many »f the performances that are of fered to public view, thougli they may discover some traces of genius in the writer, yield little or no advantage to the reader. Subje«fis may either be too abftrart to be underltood, or they may be too uninterelting to be regarded. To render a publication ufeful to any large number of people, it fliould have a reference to points which are to be carried into practice. It is of vast importance that men should hnve a just way of thinking relative to every objetfi, that in any degree influences their conduct. I have made tliefe o"bfervations merely to introduce a letter, I am favored with, from a friend at Boston.—»• My correspondent is one of those persons who is liberal in encouraging all attempts to promote literature ; and it is his greatcll wish to recom mend such performances as are calculated to make men better and happier, and to remove popular errors or prejudices, which owe their ex igence, more to the inattention than to the inca pacity of mankind. His remarks on a late pub lication areas follows. " I have read with great pleasure and atten tion, a volume of eflays lately offered to the public by our mutual friend Mr. SV. IVebfter. Though I have not leisure to enter into a re view of that work, I am too much pleased with the performance, to pass it over without a tew comments. Mr. IVebJler has felefted such fubjetfts for ciifculfion, as are not only capable of being made obvious intelligible ; but such as are important enough to deserve attention, and may afford ufeful hints and to every class of readers. I admire his remarks upon practical politics : They areoften new, andfeldom failof bei.Bg pertinent. He frequently ilhiftrates his fuSjeifl by a judicious application of facts ; and more generally deduces his principles by way of inference, than sets out with a favorite system, that requires a departure from reason and com mon sense to support. In short he {eems more solicitous to investigate truth, than to establish specious hypotheses. There is a force and sim plicity in his stile, that renders it peculiarly a dapted to political difcufiion. Though he always thinks boldly, and speaks freely, his observations are never 1 >ofe and unconnected, and his lan guage is remarkably chaste, expreflive and unas «ec(ed. His composition in point of vijror and classical propiiety cannot well be exceeded." Thus my correfpondfent ipeaksof Mr. Wdfler'% publication. Icould wifli some person would fur nifh a complete review of the work, as I am per suaded it will be approved in proportion as it is brought to the test of criticism. 538 Charleston, July 3. THE following is a copy of a letter from His Excellency the Governor of the State of Georgia, to Alexander M'Giliivray, Esq. chief of the Creek Nation, with Mr. M'Giliivray's answer thereto. State- Hoafe, AttgujL., Jan, 8, 179'.. SIR, THE favorable reprefeutations I liave had of your disposition to fupprei's violence and restore peace and confidence between the people ofGeorgia, and the Creek Indians, have induced me to open a correspondence with you, not with a deiign to enter into the merit or demerit of pad tranfatftionsi farther than the restoration of property belonging to the people of this State— something of this nature I trull will be agreed to, and complied with, as far as the nature of the cafe will by any means admit—and also that every . lpecies of future depredation be withheld. If a condutffc of this nature, and more particularly a ftritft observance of peace and good order in fu ture, be fully ratified and duly observed, it will give the government of this State an operation to put in pra<flice the wish and desire of the greav body of the people thereof, I mean a return of mutual confidence. Froui our situation as neighbors we ought to be rendering mutual services to each other; your traders and meflengers, would have free egress and ingress, and security would be th* lot of all. Humanity will readily dictate the propriety of liberating and fending forward the citizens and other persons belonging to this State now in the Creek nation. I trust that your good undeiftanding will rea dily suggest the necellity of my being enabled to give afl'urances to the frontier settlers of a full security of person and property —this too being guaranteed ill the name of the nation, will de termine me in making such arrangements, as well as reprefentatiensto the President of the Unired States as may have ate: lency to prevent the fu ture of human blood. I am, Sir, your 1110 ft humble servant, EDWARD TELFAIR. A '-zander M'Gillivray, Esq. ? Chief of the Creek hatio'i. 5 Little Tallassee, March 30, 179 c, SIR, I RECEIVED your letter of tlie Bth January last, by Afli ; he being unable to return on account of the extraordinary floods, I fend this to general Pickens to forward. In answer to your's I have to observe, that, as a peace was not concluded on between us at the Rock Landing meeting, your demand for property taken by our warriors from off the de puted lands, cannot be admitted. Wc also have had our loflesby captures made by your people. We are willing to conclude a peace with you, but you must not expedl extraordinary concefli ons from us. In order to spare the further effulion of human blood, and to "finally determine the war, I am willing to concede in some meafnre,if you are disposed to treat on tke ground of mutu al conceflion. It will save trouble and expence if the nego ciations are managed in the nation. Any per son from yon can be afliired of personal fafety and friendly treatment in this country. I am, Sir, ycrur most obedient fervanr, ALEX. M'GILLIVRAY. His Excellency Edward Telfair, Esq. , BOSTON, JULY 21. Lad week at Pownalborough, in the County of Lincoln, before the Supreme judicial Court, came on the trial of Samuel Hadiock, of Mount- Desert, for the murder of Eliab Littlefield Gott, a young man of about 22 years of age ; and after atrial, which laftedthe whole day, the Jury returned their Verdi<ft, that the prisoner was Guilty.—ln the course of the trial, it appear ed that Hadiock previous to his committing the horrid murder, had worked himfelf up into a vi olent pallion with his neighbours, on account, as he said, of their propagating some ftorics to hi* disadvantage ; the firtt effetfi of which discovered itfelf at the house of one Manchejler, where, after some abusive language he seized Mrs. Manchejler by the hair of her head, pulled her out ofdoors, and threw her on the ground several times, in a great rage—he then left the house, andinafliort time after called to the deceased, who at thi. time was parting by, in a boat, and requested to be set across the river in lire boat. With this friendly design Gott went on shore, Hadiock in quired where he was going with his boat I Gott answered, to an island after sand. Hadiock tolci him he had no right there, as he himfelf had a lease of the island. Gott replied that he did not know it. Upon this, Hadiock fattened the boat and plunged Gott three times under the water, holding him down some time—he then with a large club drove the young man and a boy that was with him up to Manchep»r , % house, where he found one Richardjon, who had been called to the aid of this riiftrefled family—he immediately sei zed Richard/on by the collar, thrust him out 01 doors with g'"eat violence, who taking advantage ofa fence, jumped over, pulled Hadiock agauif*.
