An English Proteftam Church has been opened
at Dunkirk-—thus the benefits of the French re

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

pernicious effects.
The peace between the Emperor, the Ruffians

An article under the Paris head states, that

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.

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.
