It appears that the Ruffians have discontinued their offenftve operations against the fortrefs of Btailow, and even have given up the execution of tlieir projects against Bulgaria. It is probable that the importance of the forces under Jnlliif Pacha is believed, and that Prince Repnin thinks it prudent to remain on the defenfive. The last dispatches from Hererfburg contain letters written in the Empress's own hand writ ing. They were immediately sent by express to the Emperor in Italy.

BASLE (Switzerland) June I We hear from Berne, chat the French emi grants are very numerous in that city : Molt of them have been absent from France since the be ginning of tire Revolution ; some from Italy ; others return from Germany. They boaftof their intentions to effect a counter-revolution ; but the only step they appear to have taken towards this, is, wearing white cockades. PARIS, May 26 Yeflerday, for the fii ft time since the baiba rous, impolitic, and ever to be execrated revoca tion of the ediiit of Nanrz, a congregation of Proteflants were seen in Paris, under the of the law, publicly worshipping the Eternal, ac cording to their rights !—-M. Maron officiated as Minister, and it is but justice to fay, that we ne ver saw a Clergyman pe: form the service with more fervency, order and propriety,—his text ■was " la nuit et paflee ; le jour eft leve," " the night is far spent, the day is at hand ; let us therefore cast off the works of dai knefs, and put 011 tiie armour of light." Romans, chap. xiii. v. xii. xiii. He dwelt long on the goodness of the Divinity, that, in his wisdom, fuffei ed man ro be persecuted to try his faith. He expatiated wide ly on the sage and philanthropic decrees of the National Afieinbly ; and earnestly exhorted his auditory to prove their gratitude by a strict, for mal, and an uninterrupted obedience to the law, the nation, and the king. There were above 2GOO p efent 011 the occasion, all the Englifli in Pans a.lifted—the attraction was irrefiftable. We learn from Nantz, that the society of the friends of ihe conllitut ion there, not only wen into mourning for Dr. Price, as the J ten bins hei e did, but have resolved 10 place his bust in theii hail, belicle the Declaration of the rights of Men —to name one of the quarters of the town, con sisting mostly of new buildings, Le Quarter de Richard Price, and annually, on the 4th of November, w'hen they celebrate the Englilh re volution, to read his funeral oration. The g'eaiell preparation is making in the plain of the confederation for the celebration of the ensuing birth-day of liberty, the 14th of Ju ly. Lall week there were not less than ten thou sand persons employed ; the number, however, is now reduced to about eight thousand. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, May 23. M. le Grand, member of the ecclesiastical Com mittee, propufed, that the eighty-fix convents in French Inlanders fliould be reduced to nineteen, which was agreed to by the Afl'erahly, though opposed by M. l'Abbe Brevrart, who pronounced an eulogium on the monastic life, Motwithiland ing they were invited to quit it. M. de Montefquiou prefenied a flare of the daily reports, whereby it appeared, that the de ficiency for the month of April alone amounted to upwards of 24,262,000 livres. —He proposed that on the 14th of each month, the fnperinten dant of the public treasury fliould deliver in an account of the receipts of the preceding month ; that as the expence> of each month may amount to 48,558,523 livres, the ex:raordinary bank fliould pay into the public treasury whatever part of that fi'm should be deficient ; and that to defray the deficiency of the month of April, the f.iid bank ftiall immediately pay the sum of 24,262,505 livres. The proposal was adopted without oppofirion May 25■ M. Bouche fnggefted an amendment o the resolution of paying four millions as a dower, p anted by 'he National Aflembly to the Queen, on condition of her surviving the King. Ke proposed that the four millions ol" livres Ihonld be paid to the only on condition of her continuing ;o elide in France. The As sembly, however, did not adopt his proposal. A decree was afterwards pafled, confirming the King in the pofleffion of the domains and country feats of which his Majesty a year iigo exprelled his intention to retain the pofleifion. LONDON, June 6. According to a fpeechof the Attorney General in tlie Roul'e of Commons on the fubjeift of li bels, it appears that in the last thirty years, the number of prosecutions on that account, amount ed to feventy—aniongft them some were against the scriptures, others against the king, against the revolution, the government and other ob jects, and fonie were obfeene.— Fifty of these had been convicted—of the other twenty, some had ablconded, and allowed judgment to pass by default, and a few had been pilloried.—Five he believed was the number feiueuced to the pillory, two of whom for publilhing obfeene baoks—one of them was however pardoned it having been proved that he was not accefl'ary to the publica tion, being ill at the time—two were for libels against his Majesty, and two lor libels on the Ruilian Ambadador, &c. these were all that in the course of thirty years had been sentenced to that punilhment According to the account given of M. de Mira >eau's illness, by M. Chabinis, his friend and >hyfician, he said not long before he died, of our Vlr. Pitt, " This Pitt is the vuinitter of preparation; le governs by what he threatens rather than what :ie does. If I haJ lived, 1 (ho-jld have given him [ believe some mortifications." M. Mirabeau :onceived, fays M. Chabinis, that liberty acquir ed by itifurrec'tion, fliould be maintained by re- I'pect for the laws—and that the laws could not be executed but by an atftive power ; and that the alliance of a good demo, racy and of monar chy was the natural form of government ; and that no other form could equally unire the vigi lance of constant regulation to the inviolable se curity of national freedom. HOUSE ROMAN CATHOi-IC BILL In a committee, Lord Cat-heart in the chair, the bill was read clause by daufe, and a number of amendments were propufed, some of which were accep.ed, particularly the alteration of the oarh enacted in the year TJJS, as a qualification for the Irifb Catholics. The Biihop of London moved, " That Catho lic Schoolinalters should be retrained from let ting up Schools in ilie t wo*Univei fities, and from educating the children of Protestant Parents." After a debate, the amendment was agreed to. H O E OK COMMONS. I.IBEI f,. Upon the motion for the third reading of the bill for confirming the Rights of Juries in cases of Libels. Mr. Fox, in order, he said, that as few quib bles might be furniftied by this bill as poflible, would move to leave out certain words which admitted of different conftru<ftions, and w hereby juries had been limited in their jurifdnition, but which this bill fought to extend. The words he moved, were, after matter at iflue before them; it having hitherto been thepratSice of the Courts only to fuffer the jury to find the defendant guil ty of publilhing; then the criminality of that publication, if leditious or defamatory, was con firmed, and the defendant found guilty, w iihout leaving to the Jury to decide, with what disposi tion and spirit he published the paper containing the Libel. The motion being seconded, the amendment was adopted—whereby the whole of the matter at iflue is left to the determination of a Jury. LONDONDERRY, May 24 On Saturday last, Mr. Cox finifhed his contract for erecting the Bridge over the river Foyle.— When we consider the immensity of the under taking, and the shortness of the time in which it has been compleated, we cannot too much ad mire and applaud the genius and execution of this molt able artist. He began and completed the whole work in little more than twelve months; and if a fufliciency of timber had been always at hand, it would have been finifhed much sooner. Philadelphia, August 15. Extract of a letter from Loudon, Jo a house in this city, received by the Lark, arrived at New-York, dated "June 7th.
