VIENNA, March 7 FUNERAL OF LEOPOLD THE SECOND ON Friday the 3d inft. the body was opened in the ptefence of the Imperial pbyficians and embalmed. The heart was pat into a diver urn, and the entrails into a brass kettle. On Sunday at half an hour after two, the A a lie Parson consecrated the body, and it was car lied to the Aulic church, preceded by some Au guftin and Capuchin Friars. The valet de chambre of the deceased carried the kettle with the entrails, and another the goblet with the heart, both covered with black taffety. The body was in an open coffin, dreft in a black robe laced, the head was covered with a hat a dorned with blue imperial feathers, and the body decorated with all the orders of knighthood. When it arrived at the Aulic church, which was hung overall in black, with imperial elcutcheons, the body was again consecrated, and placed on the Lit de parade in the middle of the church, having on each fide velvet culhions with the imperial ■ crown, sceptre and orb, called the Apple of the em pire. Mafles were read till noon, at which the foreign minillers, privy counsellors, and the no bility of both sexes attended. The public, who had liberty to pass through to fee the body, were told by an exempt on pa(- sing, " Das is der Kcizer"—th*t is the Emperor. On Monday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the heart, after being consecrated again, was taken up by the two eldetl valets de chambre, two other eledl chamberlains, and a detachment of eight German and Hungarian life guards, and removed to the Auguftin church, received by the priors and the monks of the monastery, and placed in the vaults. ... Immediately after the entrails being conse crated anew, with the fame attendance as the heart, were removed by the Bishop, the Chapter and the Clergy, carried down to the vaults, and deposited with the usual forms and prayers. On the 6th, at fix in the afternoon, the fune ral procession went out of the church, and after having crofled the hospital, proceeded to the Ca puchin church. At seven o'clock the body was taken off the bier by the valets de chambre ; the coffin was then (hut, and the beneditfion performed by the court chaplain, assisted by the matter of ceremo nies, and the other chaplains, in presence of the pages, carrying lighted torches, and attended by the life-guards, lord chamberlain, mailer of the horse, and three captains of the guards—it was put into a mourning coach, glazed all round, and drawn by fix horses. The procession then crofled Jofephus square to the Capuchin church. The Capuchin church was prepared for the funeral, as follows : _ In the middle the bier was raised fix feet high, ■with a black velvet canopy over it, tringed with gold, and adorned with the Imperial eagle at each corner. Round the coffin was placed the rega.ia betore mentioned, with thd field marshall s llaff, hat, sword and scars. On the eight steps of the bier there were three hundred and seventy-two silver candlesticks, and at the corner silver pyramids, with seventy-two wax tapers each. The whole church was hung in black, with eighty candelabres divided by coats of arms, and forty-five lustres. The high altar was covered with a rich em broidered cloth, having the Imperial coat of arms trimmed round with mourning, and one thou sand seven hundred lights round it. The mourning commenced the sixth, and is or dered to be continued fix months. PARIS, March 17 The Auflrian party is completely vanquiflied for this time, and the only ministers remaining in office, who are not either difmifled, or who have not given in their resignation, are M. Du port de Tertre, and M. Tarbe, and there was even a rumor that M.Duport has also given in his resignation. It remains to be seen what will be the iffiie of this c'ontelt between the Court and the Aflembly. M. Deleflart has set out, under a guard of the Gens d'Armerie, to Orleans, to take his trial be fore the high court appointed for the trial of Hate prisoners. M. de Taleyrand and Perigord, arrived at Pa ris on Saturday last. The King has given the red ribband to M. de la Fayette, M. Maillardot, and d'Erneft. In the fitting of the National Aflembly on Fri day last, a letter was read, which states that Avignon and Aries are in a state of revolt, ad vanced guards being ported round the latter place, the walls of which aricompleatly furnifh ed with cannon ; two thobfand patriots have been obliged to leave Avignon; the paflage of Durance was <hut against a battalion of the Na tional Guards marching to the frontiers ; the white flag was hoilted, and the patriots were threatened with a maflacre. The National Guards of Montpelier,Marfeilles, Nimes and Orange, were however upon tlie point of marching when this letter left the Department du Guard, and the rebellious citizens of Avignon and Aries were shortly expected to be quelled. The regiment of Latnark, and a detachment of the former place, are as much fufpetft cd of anti-constitutional principles. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE new import law, which has lately patted, was strenu ously oppoled. Some of the objections were not without force. It was said, enough is already drawn from impost. It was replied, this is true of many imported articles, but many others will bear more ; and it will be ufefnl to our landed and manufacturing intereits to raise the rate of duties on the latter. The additional duties ad valorem will ceale with the Indian war. The urgent necellity ot the public requires the further revenue, yet it were to be wished that the revenue laws might have remained fixed, as every change is embarrafling to trade. Besides, low duties fall on the profits of trade, but increasing the rate, overcomes old habits of buying and felling, and throws the duty on the consume it should be. Ihe merchants will therefore pay only as consumers, and the cre dits given for the duties, will not deprive them of their trad ing capital, by paying the duties before they have received them of the corifumer. The obj eft ions above noticed, answers to which are just hinted, are refpeCtable. It is prejumed, however, that with the candid and discerning, they will yield to a lenfe of the ur gency of* the occasion, as well as to the other considerations which have been noticed. # # But other arguments were urged against the impost, which belong to the unanswerable class. It was said, without laugh ing, the additional duties are intended for the Indian war and you ought to confine your views to the obtaining money for that end only—vet, behold, you afford advantage to the farmers, by encouraging the production of flax, hemp, cotton, and various other things. The manufacturers also receive protection and encouragement —and to make all these the more effectual, you make the law on all the articles except those charged at 7g per cent, ad valorem, permanent—that is, a j standing law, to be repealed when you no longer like What an outrage against republican liberty 1 and on this topic a few hundred dozen high flourifhes were made. The public has had opportunity by reading the newfapers, to admire the good fenle and moderation of this part of the debate. The cod-fifhery too was accused of picking the pockets of the people a second time—because the law for encouraging that fifhery allows the money which is paid into the treasury for the fait used in cur ing the fi(h that is sent out of the country, to be paid back to the owners of the fifhing veflels, in the form of a bounty on the tonnage of the veflels. All other articles, on being ex ported, are allowed to drawback the duties they have paid; the law making a like allowance to the filliing veflels was called partial and urtjuft—that was the firft picking of pockets by the filhery—and as the late law raises the duty on fait, the principle of the fifhery law required that a further allowance, in nature of a drawback, lhould be made, in order that the owners of the filliing veflels might stand on the fame footing with other citizens exporting dutied articles. Accordingly the new impost law allows a further sum to those veflels, equal to the increase of the fait duty. By the Constitution, every ar ticle is to be exported duty free—(alt fifh may now be export ed duty free—and this was not only called a partial favor, but it was strenuously insisted to be a violation of the Constitution. Another odious design of the new impost law, is to form a finking fund—lb that the surplus revenue lhall be applied to buying up the public debt. This called forth no small powers of eloquence. The debt is hateful—the means of paying it off are hateful— is improper, in this way and in that way. There is no manner of doubt that there is the most per fect consistency of design in those who fay the debt is great, is increasing, and to be diminished, and yet oppose the rais ing and applying a revenue to finking it as fact as possible! The public will be edified, no doubt, by the arguments against the impost law. It was said, all ¥ou want is money for the Indian war—and behold, you have rambled over the whole field of politics to pick up other objeCts of legislation. You encourage the farmer, the manufacturer, and the fifhery, and you provide means for diminifliing the public debt. This was called entangling the bill with foreign matter, and undertak ing to do half a dozen things at once. Besides all which, the objeCt of the Indian war is temporary, and your aCt is a stand ing law. The force of this censure seems to lie here—you should make an aCt for one or two years. Then the merchants would have the plague and vexation of the law, and would find it impossi ble to make their arrangements on such ground. The far mers would not produce, nor the manufacturers work up the raw materials of the country, because an aCt for a year or two, which would expire with the Indian war, would afford no en couragement to engage in any new production or branch of bufinels. A law which would take every man's money, and yet would proteCt no man's industry as a farmer or manufac turer, would have no friends or advocates. And all good citizens being found to hate revenue laws, there is no manner of doubt that a law on the footing which was contended for, would be fufliciently detested. Philadelphia, May 23. Accounts have been received at the War-Office from Major Hamtramck, commanding officer of Post Vincennes, on the river Wabaih, dated 30th March, stating that he had made a pacific agreement with the Wea and Eel River Indians—and it was expected that the Pyankefhas would become parties thereto, These tribes, with their subdivisions of villages, contain a conliderable part of the Wabaih Indians, who have hitherto been hostile. The Revenue Cutter, Capt. Montgomery,' having received diredtions to assist in piloting veflels in the River, &c. has been thus employed the week past.—On Saturday evening last she met with an accident, a Ihip running foul of the cutter while ihe lay at anchor, carried away her main-mast; but we hear the injury has since been repaired.

One of the veiTels employed in traniporting the free blacks from Nova-Scotia to Sierra Leona, commanded by Captain Nicols, has returned from Africa, and arrived at this port af ter 8 weeks passage. The whole fleet of 13 fail arrived fafe at the place of deftination—tho' numbers ol the blacks died on the pallage. Tiieir landing was at firft opposed by the natives but they were on peaceable terms when Captain Nicols left them. Ihe country appears fertile, and on the whole the settlement bore a promising afpeft, and the enterprize bid fair to answer the views of the benevolent projectors. No velfel trom England had arrived. Capt. Nicols has a paper from the Agent, teffci fying his humanity and attention to the blacks during the voyage.

ExtraEl of a letter from a gentleman cf the JirJl information at Lijbon, to his correspondent tn this city, dated, March 18. After certain intelligence had been received at Gibraltar that Mnley Yazid had defeated his brother's army on the 12th of last month, about the end of the fame month the unexpect ed news arrived there of his having died on the 16 th, in con sequence of his wounds *. as likewise the death of his anta.;on ift, Muley Ifliem, who is reported by some to have been killed in the battle ; and by others, to have died also ol the wounds he received in battle'. What is aflerted to be less doubtful is, that Muley Iflama has actually been proclaimed emperor at Tangier. He is also alferted to be a much more unexcep tionable character than the two brothers who have fallen, and more likely to cultivate peace, upon reasonable terms, with all nations. —The fame letter mentions the 22d instant as the day agreed upon for the delivering upon of Oran to the regen cy of Algiers." ExtraSl of another letter from the fame gentleman* dated Lijbon, J O March 25. u The ameliorations in the queen's health are great. Doc tor Willis found that the physicians had treated her cafe in a very improper manner. It seems probable, that, it the fame treatment had been continued a little longer, she must have died. At present Dr. Willis entertains hopes of her total re covery. Yesterday fiie was much better than Ihe has been at any other time since his arrival, and entirely in her right mind—lamjuft informed that the Emperor of Germany is dead. This news was brought by a courier from Madrid to the Spanifli charge des affaires here." Extrafl of a. letter from Princeton, dated May 18. i 6 We have not had the Gazette since last Wednesday week— please to let us know the cause why they are not Tent as usual." The Editor allures his Subscribers in Princeton, that the papers have been pun<stually Tent to the Poft-Office Mon day and Wednesday mornings, and the Post-Master has in formed him that they have been sent on. FROM CORRESPONDENTS. Many true friends of liberty spin an over-fine thread of rea soning, rather beyond the strength of the ftuflf. They Ihew how trade produces wealth—and wealth, luxury—and this again, corruption—and corruption destroys liberty. In this way we may conjure up ten thousand apparitions ! -Some astronomers in Europe, of the last century, lived very misera ble lives, because they found by calculation that within two million two hundred thousand years, a comet would run bounce against our earth, and either singe or crack it to its total ruin; so that it would be no longer a world fit to live in. 1 hose that fear this ruin of liberty, fliould establish public free fchools, and support good laws, which will produce good mo rals, and these will preserve the public liberty and virtue, as long as human means can have any efficacy on human affairs. The yeomanry of the country are often addrelTed on the fubje<st of the many wrongs they fuffer from the national go vernment. One of the complaints which is made for them is, that the duty on the tonnage of foreign vefTels is an injury to the landed interest. Half a dollar a ton on a vessel is alledged to be a grievous imposition, and discouraging to the free iale of our produce. Supposing this duty to be lome discourage ment to purchaiers coming from foreign parts to carry off our produce in their own veflfels, it operates in an equal degree to encourage the employment of our own Hiips to go in search of a market. The power at any time to seek the market, and to chufe the best of several, affords better encouragement to the sale of the articles of our farms, than they would meet with if w« were obliged to depend solely or principally on fo reigners. Be fides, the increase of ships and seamen is elTential to the landed interest in cafe of a war, as the protection of our staple articles by sea could be no otherwise depended on. On the whole, the landed men will have no cause to com plain. It is also very agreeable, to a liberal mind, to observe that the interests of the northern and southern dates, in this particular, perfe&ly accord, and are reciprocal.
