PUBLISHED WEDNESDAYS AND SATURDAYS BY JOHN FENNO, No. 69, HIGH-STREET, BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD STREETS, PHILADELPHIA. [No. 45, of Vol. lII.] FROM THE NEW-YORK DAILY ADVERTISER, Meflis. Childs & Swaine, *Tht following is an extract of a letter from Doctor Priejlly, to the Rev. Edward Burne of Birwing- ham ; as the publication from which it is taken, ' may uot be generally read, the insertion oj it in your paper may poffibty be not uniuterejling to your numerous G.orrefpondents. " t ' l ' s account I rejoice to fee the warmth V-/ with which the cause of Orthodoxy (that is of long cftablijhed opinions however erroneous) and that of the Hierarchy is rvow taken up by its friends—Becaufe if their system be not well founded, they are only accelerating its deftriiciion. In fart, they are affijling ME in the proper dispo sal of those trains of gunpowder, which have been some time accumulating, and at which they have taken so great an alarm, and -which mill certainly blow it up at length, and perhaps as suddenly as unexpetledly, and as completely as the late over throw of the arbitrary government in France.— If an inhabitant will not submit to a thorough -examination and reasonable repairs of the build ing he occupies, the consequence inuft be that without gunpowder, or even a high wind, it must some time or other fall, and happy may he think himfelf if he can escape unhurt from the ruins. If this {hould be the cafe with the Church ot En gland, the Clergy cannot fay, they have had 110 warning ; —They are laboring for its destruc tion more than 1 am J ! ! Jf I be laying gunpowder, they are providing the match, and their part ot the business seems to be in greater forwardnefs than mine." What a contrail is exhibited be tween the two rival nations of France and Eng land, and how many Engliff/tnen blujh to look upon it J '' Another foolilb and unjult war, like that with America, which was chiefly urged by the Clergy (and such another, if the court proposes, the Clergy will second) can hardly fail to bring their affairs to a crisis. If they be wife they will consider the signs of the times, and be very temperate in all their proceedings, tas eft andab hofte doceri. " Let them take care left by too vigorously refill ing our application, they should do theinfelves tlie 7noft serious evil. 1 have always beenan avowed enemy to all eftablifliments of Chriflianity !I I But many ciiflenters are not so. I forefee however, that thsy Jbon will be, and that by means of these difcudions, the sentiment will become more ge neral in the Nation at large. It begins to be adopted even by the Catholics. " The utility of ecclefialtical eftablifliments is a question that it behoves the Clergy always to keep out of fight as much as poliible ; and if they proceed as they have began, I (hould befor ry to en fire their system twenty years longer. Whe ther 1 be more pleased, or displeased with their present violence let them now judge. Thegreat er their violence the greater is our confidence, and final success. " Nations, and all great bodies of Men, will learn very little except in the dear School of ex perience." This letter carries with it its own comment. Compare the bigotry which it breathes, with the hypocritical ineeknels which characterizes the one he addrefted to the inhabitants ot Birming ham, and let an impartial person decide which contains the real feiuiments of theDodlor —"which we should be induced to believe lo be the real and true principles of the dissenters as pi omul gated by their Apollle ; those whicli in an hour offecurity were prefcnted to the world, or those which were extorted under the dread of an En glilh L anttrne. The Kanaticifm the Rancor, the intemperate zeal entertained against the esta blished Church, with which the foregoing letter is so replere, must fill every religious mind with apprehensions for the security of their opinions ; and makes us nlniolt rejoice at the deltrucllion of those writings which (if we may judge from the part) could only contribute to substitute ous Icepticifin for religion, and under the inafk of Liberty to introduce anarchy and licentious ness. A RI ST IDES. BIRMINGHAM Is the largest rnanufa&uring town in England, and u fituatcd about ito miles N. W. of London. It is no incorporation, and therefore is fiee for any person to go and fettle theie. This has contributed greatly to the increase not only of the trade, but ot the number of the buildings. In the year 1782 there were about io,oco dwelling-houfc* ; and the number has since been continu ally mcreafing. Saturday, October i, 1791. FROM. THE VERMONT GAZETTE Mr. Haswell, If you deem the following worthy infrrtion, by giving it a place you wilt oblige a cujlomer. THREE gentlemen who late in converse far, Thoughts bumper-rais'd infpir'd a learned chat, Aspiring tancy fl.d on airy wings, From well-prim'd grog to lupernatural things. One (aid the moon was not ing but a log, The second said, he'd lay a nip of grog 'Twas like the he could efpv, Both land and water with his naked eye; The third, a grave, well-fatt'ncd, witty man, Slowly arose, and gracefully began, My friends, I have a proof its weight will bear, It is not land which we discover there, For if it was, the jobbers ol New-York Would have their patent* there, and men to work. BERLIN, July 20. THE rejoicings that have lately occupied our Court, 011 account of the contrail of mar riage, which was signed the 17th inllant, be tween our charming Princess Royal and the King of England's second son, an event thac seems to give univerful fatisfaifcion in this country, have been fuccecded by the various arrangements ne ceflary 011 the breaking up of the camp of ob servation that had been formed with things that wore an hostile appearance, but to which the prudeuce of your Court has, it seems, put a hap py termination. Our roads are filled with the regiments going to their different garrisons, from whence they will not be fuinmoned, for some time at Jeaft. The Deputies from Dantzic left this city yes terday, highly fatisfied with the success of their million, and the condescension of our new Prime Minister ; they are full to remain tinder the protection ofthe Court of Warsaw ; but, on the other hand, accorded foine valuable commercial advantages to the Court of Berlin. L I N T Z, July 14. By letters from Vienna we learn, that 011 the 4th inlt. the Marquis de Noailles, the Ambailador of France, had a private with the Prince de Kaunitz, who delired him to inform the National Aflembly, that his Imperial Majesty had determined by 110 means to intermeddle with the affairs ofthe French Constitution, so long as they related only to France ; but that faithful to his personal ties, faithful to the duties of blood, of friendlhip and alliances, he fliould consider the ill treatment which the King, Queen, and tami ly, fliould fuffer, as done to himfelf, and theont rages committed against Royal Majesty as viola tions of the refpedt due to him. The fame letters rtate, that for some days pad an inveteracy had manifefted itfelf against the French Nation, which had never before been ex perienced, and which appeared likely to become general ; and this disposition of mind indicat ed a rupture, which many perfotis already conh der inevitable, They likewise add, tnat all the baggage ofthe Ambailador of trance had been packed up ever since the beginning ofthe month, in which state it continued, which probably niuft have been occasioned either by his expectation of being recalled, or of his determination of quit ting a country, where he had ever before enjoy ed all the blandiihments annexed to the eminent post which he occupies, and which personal con siderations have rather strengthened than weak ened. ROME, July 13. The prevention of the flight of the king of France has caused to disappear all the prepara tions which had been made for public rejoicings. The Pope, all infallible as he is, had ordered a Nuncio to go from Bin dels to present to the King whom he believed to be at Metz, a brief, in which h? extolled and felicitated his majesty and abused the French nation. The king of Naple3 went even farther, he caused Te Deuin to be lung, (lopped and dismasted the French veflels in his ports, and gave 5000 ducats to the matter ot an Engli'fli veflel, who fir 11 brought him news of the flight of his brother in-law. A crowd of French quitted Rome to join the Molt Christian King whom they believed to be in Germany. BRUSSELS, July 18. The King of Sweden, although expected, has not arrived here. The Congrels at Aix-la-Clia pelle has become highly interelling.—M. de Ca pon ne is expected here from London, where it is fa id he has been unfucceftful. He will pro ceed to Worms, to communicate to his Pnnce 177 04$ o [Whole No. 255.] (M. de Conde) the plans concerted with the Ca binet of St. James's with refpert to France. It is reported, that the manifetto of the Diec of Ratilbon is ready for publication. The French arrive here daily, among whom the lawyers adopt the uniform of the Princes, which is a bine coat, with red waiftcoac, aild gilt buttonswith afleur de lys. Many Parisian girls, impelled by their aristo cratic principles, and the apprehension of being more narrowly watched than heretofore, have lately arrived here. July 26. Public affairs are very far from having taken, a regular channel in this capital ; a buz of po pular murmur, which increases every day, and gains more and fubltantial advocates, is heard to prevail. This morning their Royal Highnefles appeared on the parade at the Palace Royale, and reward ed the squadron of the regiment de la Tour ca valry with a gold medal, as an honorable ac knowledgment of their vigorous condud: againlt the Patriots in the last campaign ; the medal was ellimated at 150 Louis d'ors, and bore the portrait of his Majelty Leopold 11. besides other military emblems ; at the fame time the subal tern officers and soldiers, who had particularly diftinguilhed themselves, were rewarded with a medal of honor, and the officers with the cross of the order of Maria Theresa. The above me dallion was attached to the standard of their re giment by her Royal Highness Maria Chriftiua, amidst the applause of an immense multitude of people, am on git whom were numbers of French officers, with legions of other French, in white cockades. The Prince de Wirteniberg assisted their Royal Highnefles in the ceremony. VIENNA, July 26. A new plan is spoken of refpeifting Dantzic and Thorne, which has been agreed upon by Austria, Pruflia, and Russia. It does not now appear that the Emperor means to direst his armsagainft France, which he pro bably would have done, had the King and his family effected their escape. Nevertheless, several persons have been ar retted here for having exalted the conduit of the French, and blamed the Austrian Ministry. PARIS, July 29 The apprehensions of an invasion daily increase. The Marquis de Bouille has obtained the fame rank in the lervice of Sweden that he held ill that of France. His prediction,fo much ridicul ed, will probably soon be verified, of his leading on the armies of foreign powers, to overturn the new constitution. The King of Sweden, it [is said, has actually declared himfelf against France. He will no doubt be soon followed by the Emperor, and the other confederated powers, The report of the revifional committee has been made to the other committees. It will be submitted to the Aflbmbly in a day or two. It coinprifes all the decrees of the Aflembly which are merely conllitutional, and may therefore be termed the Magna Cha>ta of France. In this form it will be presented to the King for his ac ceptance or refufal. Their Majesties are never feen,and little heard of. They are as closely confined as if they were immured for life in one of the cells of the for mer Baftile to them, and from the present tem per of the people, and the alarm which every where reigns, there is little chance of their un happy condition being bettered. It is affirmed in fjnie of the papers, with great confidence, that certain merchants at Bruflels have advanced a loan of 12,000,000 of livres on the credit of the Civil Lift, for the purpose ot aiding a counter-revolution ; but it is not very likely that nionied men would part with their calh on ftich security. It has long been expected by many, that the right of Prielts to marry would be recognized by the National Aflbmbly ; and in proportion as the conllitutional body approached to the terminati on of its labours, the decifionof this point leem ed nearer at hand. In the mean time several Priests have anticipated the wifhed-for reform, and entered, as the phrafeis, into provisional cw tra<Tts of marriage. This day, at half part one o'clock, eight mil lion livres of Alfignats were burnt in the Court yard of thcCai[fc del' Extraordinaire, 208,000,000
