Bouille and •foil, have been at Vienna, incog, and that the General had an audience of the Emperor. td DOtfe ts, jpn ion fort liHttliii :«ui, or The Emperor is aflembling a strong army on theKhine, in Luxembourg, and on L'Efcant. There has been a total change in the Auiirian Ministry—Prince Kaunitz is dismissed after hav ing been Prime Minister fifty years. A general commotion seems to be taking place in Europe— the spirit of innovation is spreading in Italy— The governor of Reggrf> in the Duke of Mode na's territories, was lately murdered by the po- their far- ay deter lyroute : or of iht 'ho toll ■onghtl; lot so a en taught pulace. At Florence there has been an jnfurredtion on account of the taxes —which could not be quelled bat by the interpofitiol) of the military. In Bologna there has been a great ferment, on account of encreafed taxes, afl'eiled by his Holi ness to make up deficiencies occasioned by the lois of income from other places. —The l J ope's Treasurer was here burnt in effigy. At Genera the Democrats are grumbling at their government, which is Ariftocratical. A general aflembly of the States of Brabant were to meet as BruxeHes on the 22d of August —The ancient form of government in pleno is re-eftabli(hed. 'iW; ftihr An English Proteftam Church has been opened at Dunkirk-—thus the benefits of the French re volution begin to be enjoyed, in the free exer cise of religion. In Dunkirk there are two Dutch Chapels, and one Quaker meeting house, . . . .. The perpetual rumors of a counter-revolution operate very injuriolidy in refpe<st to the paper medium of France—by keeping up the deprecia tion of aflignats.—But the confti.ution once efta blilhed, it is expected these rumors will lose their pernicious effects. The peace between the Emperor, the Ruffians and Turks, leaves even the viclorious parties in no better circumstances than when they began! —It is called a Statu qtto peace—but wiih what propriety may be determined when it is confi deredwhat an immense facrifice of men and mo ney has been made about a few acres of ,'I erri tory. The Arabs it is fiid have invaded the Turkifli territories ; have seized the tomb of the prophet, and plundered Mecca of its treafuves. The Einprefs of Ruflia, all the reports to the contrary notwithllanding, is in perfe<st health. A number of the rioters of Birmingham have been tried, several of which were capitally con fided ; sentence of death was pronounced on four of them—the Judges exhorted them to pre pare for death, as there were 110 hopes of par don ; they all wept bitterly. An article under the Paris head states, that the Qneen of France has wrote to the Count de Mercy Argenteau, the Emperor's minister in the low countries, desiring him to exert his interest with the fugitive Princes to return to France, as it was the wiih of her Majesty—and alibi ing them that the King was determined to accept cordially of the new constitution ; the King lias wrote to 1 the fame purport to Monsieur and the Count D'Artois. : Ghaots, ipital distant!

The anfwerof the Count Mercy-Argenteau was 'hat the Kmperor his malVer was determined not to interfere with the affairs of France, in any manner which mi<iht endanger the person of his fitter. rhe Princes Monsieur, and Count D'Artoii had delired time to deliberate on their an Twer. The French are now ill a fair way of being left to mature their constitution, without the alarm of an external attack ; the eyes oi ilie are fixed upon them, and they will exhibit a striking example to mankind of the laffty or 'he danger of attempting to new model a govern ment from firft principles. ihe fo-eign papers from Germany and flan < er s ail flatly contraditft the design of the Eu ropean potentates joining againll France —and ;2 «*■ By order of the Society, WILLIAM COXE, Jtin.Sec'ry aflei t lhat f:ich reports originate with the aris tocrats to fee what efFeifi they may have on the National Aflembly. 1 he late Dey of Algiers raised himfelf from a common soldier to that exalted ft at ion, and go verned a nation of Barbarians for twenty-five years with uncommon reputation—his rulingpaf lion was avarice—he accumulated immense riches —which, with his dignity do not descend to his family, but are polTelied by his fucceflor Cid Haf fan. The loss. occasioned by the burning of the Ma gazines in the Admiralty at Amsterdam, amounts to 1,200)0.00 florins. The hereditary Prince of Orange is on a jour ney into Germany. > The harvest in France has been abundant the pall season. The English fleet has been paid off—and what is uncommon, the molt remarkable harmony ap pears among thefoldiers and sailors—no riots or confufion have taken place, which has frequently been the cafe on similar occasions. Tims has ended the third bloodless war of Great Britain !—The firft secured to the Stadthol der the government of Holland—the Iccond the Cat ikins of Nootka Sound to the Englijh—and the last, to the Porte the liberty of making the belt peace they could ! The Club of Jacobirls'in Paris have wrote a letter of condolance to Do<ftor Prieitly, on the lofles he has fuflained by the late riots. Lieut. Governor Simcoe was to embark far Quebec the firft of September. Addrefles Tiave been presented to the King, Jiy the principal' liilTabitanrs of the county of. Warwick, and the Diflenters of the. town of Bir mingham,—the firll thank his JVlajefty for his paternal care of all his subjects; and particular-, ly express their gratitude for the recent inltance of that care exhibited during the lata riots, by tlireifting fach ample relief for their necelfities —That from the Diflenters profefles their at tachment, to the conftitutiou, and revolution prin ciples—it laments the want of energy in the ci vil power during the late riots, but at. the fame time recognizestheirobligations for his Majelty's beneficial and decisive attention—The gentlemen who presented the addrefles were graciously re ceived. The revolt which took place in the kingdom of Morocco, has been appealed—*-the troops of the King's half brother were defeated, and him felf obliged to retreat to a place of fafety. The King of Svveden has retnrned to Stock holm, his capital. A'morion was lately made in the National As sembly to infei't a clause in the Constitution, by which the Princes of the blood-royal would have been deprived of the rights of atftive citizens, and consequently precluded from a feat in theAlfein bly. This vras vehemently opposed by M. d'Or leans—who said he would sooner relinqnifh his claim to an eventual succession to the Crown, than be deprived of those rights and privileges. His speech was received with applause, and the mo tion rejected.—The population of 3VI • d Orleans runs high, according to the lall accounts. M. Barnave, it appears, has been thrown into the minority, by lome recent decisions. Ihe pamphleteers and eflayifts of Paris, have for a Ion"- time past severely lampooned M. Barnave. A leti er was lately read in the National Aflem bly, from the Minister of War, stating the diffi culties resulting from drawing off the ftatiotied troops for the defence of the frontiers—and pro posing a fubltitute foniething like the Minute- Men of the United States dujing the late war. Peace and tranquility are now perfetflly re fiored to the capital of France. The red fag, the signal of martial law, is taken down—and the ■white, the emblem of peace, elevated in its place. The regiment of Berwick has quitted the ser vice of the National Aflembly, and gone over to the fugitive Princes. Monday next is the day appointed by law for the meeting of the second Congress of the United States under the New Contlituiton. ' The following, among other important lub iecis, will probably claim their attention at the en ine session. The Poft-Office—the Militia—the 1 'iftieries —the Reports of the Secretary of State 1 in this fubjecft, and on Coins, Weights and Mea. iires—the Judiciary System, and ihe Repoit of I he Attorney of the United States— Manufadtui es, and a Report thereon, to be made by the ~ccre tai y of the Treasury, pursuant to orders of the late House of R eprefetjtatives the National Mint—a Navigation Law—the Land-Office of the United States, &c. &c.-The deliberations of the Lesiiflature of the Union, at this fefnon, mult therefore be highly interelting to our country. I May a spirit of wisdom and patrioti.m mnu l tnce and guide their councils-May their mea sures be crowned with luccefs ; and equally with those of their predecetlors, receive the approba tion of their conftituenii. 199 Next Friday is the day appointed for the elec tion of twenty-five -Directors of the Bank of the United States. Arrangements have- been made by the Stockholders in this city, to co-ope rare with those from other parts of the Union in this bufinefis—and there is every Veafon to sup pose that focli characters will be chosen, as by their wisdom, prudence and integrity, will ren der this inflitutiona public benefit. The committee appointed by the Stockholders of this city, ;to confer with the committees or gentlemen Stockholders, who may come from the other States, on this occasion, confilt of the fol lowing gentlemen :—Robert Morris, IfaacWhar 'oi«, Edward Fox, Robert Rallton, Jeremiah Par- -'*r —This committee is to report their proceed ing* to the City Stockholders to-morrow evening; at Carpenter's Hall, A correspondent obfefves, that in the general ticket to be form ed and delivered in on Friday next, for twenty-five Dirc&ors of the National Bank, every Stockholder or gentleman qualified by proxies to vote at the general meeting, would do well to examine attentively a full lift of all the candidates of every State—from these, the judicious will felcft on general principles, with a su preme regard to the public good. In Europe, our correspondent further observes. Bank Dire&ors are alwavs chofeA from among the firft mercantile chara&ers, or from such of the more refpe&able mechanics, as have by the extent of their business qualified themselves for the office. Commercial men are the best judges of characters in trade, and fherefote are the belt to regulate a difcount-office—but however true this may b«, it will probably be thought eligible to admit one or more Gentlemen of the Law—one or more Members of Congress—and one or more Directors of State Banks ; yet it mull be apparent thatof thefe,orof charaftersof a highly fpeculativecaft, the number ought to be small. All will do well to reflect, that on the a'pett affairs (ball resume at the outset, will the future profpefts and success of the Bank depend. By late accounts from Port-au-Prince, it appears that a coaiitioo haS beeri foimed between the whites and th t free people of colour — and by a written convention, the whites have recognized the rights and privileges granted to the people of colour by the National As sembly, as well as those which they claim under certain ancient edicts of the French Monarchs. Accounts were received in town 13ft Monday, of a dreadful conflagration 'n Newbcrn, North-Carolina, on the 28th tilt. a great of that flourifhing town fell a facrifice to the flames ; sixty-three houses being consumed. The % ravages of the deftruftivc element were checked by blowing up several houses with gunpowder. A similar expedient was adopted to stop the progress of the great fire in London*, in the reio;n of Charles the Second. Ihe lols is computed at ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND-POUNDS. By a letter from Mr. Fenwick, the American Consul at Bour deaux, published in a Richmond paper, it appears that the vfflel mentioned in our last, addreflVd to McfTrs. M'Carthv and Brothers, with two others, all went to England previous to their going to France, from whence thev received their last orders. 1 his mode, it was supposed, would tend to make England the entrepot of to bacco for France, and deltrov in lome measure the encreafing in tercourse between France and America, to the injury of ihc trade with France, without benefiting that ot America. An office is opened in London for the sale of Stocks in the Ame rican Funds. Cambricks of a superior finenefs are now manufactured in Ire* land.
