The concerns of lhat country all over India are by no wans ma flour.thing ft'ate. There has been a dilturbance between tfaeEnglilh and French featnen m Can lon-rivcr, in which the former pulled down the national colours, and trampled them under leet. The decision of the National AfTcmbly of France has accorded precisely .with the general anticipation. In the fitting of Friday evening the important Aifcrve was pafled which fandions the hostilities nffyificc with the King of Bohe mia and Hungary,. It was at the fame time resolved, that a mam fcfto should be immediately publifhcd and dift. i buted through tjif Cgntitlent, Hating the provoca tions and the by which the nation was induced to enter on a v.'ar. It was also proposed that both the national guards and the troops of the line (hould take the oath 10 the coriftitution as picfcribed on the 14th of January last j but this mw ceremony was deemed fupc: fluous. The Einprels of Ruflia, it is laid, will fend a fleet this summer into the Mediterranean. It is supposed lhat it will convey a number of troops to the South of France, and co-operate with the court of Spain iu affi.fing the counter-revolution in France. EVENYS IN SWEDEN, The Dutch mail, which arrived on Saturday, brings less intelligence than might have been ex pected from Stockholm, the advices from that place being of little later date than those last re ceived. „ They concur in confirming former reports of the orefeoce of mind (hewn by Gnftavus during his i'llnefs. It appears, that, while he waited for the arrival of his furgcons in an apartment ad join ing to the saloon of the opera house, several of the foreign ministers themselves, to whom he said, " I have given orders, gentlemen, that the gates of the city fnall be (hut. You will, therefore, not take it ill, if you should be unable to fend couriers to your courts, until after three days. Your advices will then be more certain, lince it will then probably be known whether I can survive or not." H'S conversation then re laced to the effects which the accident might pro duce in Europe ; and the love of tame, which was always his pre dominant pafiion, was percep tible in his remarks. s General Baion d'Armfeldt, one of his mod af fectionate friends, entered the room, pale with horror, and unable to utter a word. As he ap proached, the King, ftretc.hing out his hand to him, said, " What's the matter my friend ? Be not so alarmed on my account. You know by experience what a wound is thu> flatteringly alluding to the wound which the general had re ceived in Finland. At eight o'clock on the morning of his death, he received the facramcnt. The Queen had taken leave ot him the evening before. At halt past ten, he died in great agonies in the presence ot the firft physician Dahlberg, ot the grand alnjoner Wallguift, of the chamberlain Borghenllicra, and of two pages. The will was opened the fame day at noon,! in the apartments of ihe young King, by Laflhom, the secretary of rcvifion , the two princcs his un cles and the chiefs of all the regiments and ot the departments, took the oaths to him ; and the usu al proclamations were made. The reports in Stockholm were, that the con spiracy was formed bv an hundred and eleven persons all noble, refidmg partly in Stockholm and partly in the provinces; and that the plan confided of 36 articles, one of which was, that, " as soon as the King should be dispatched, the Duke ofSudrrmania, and the persons mod attach ed to his Majelty, as the generals Taube and Ba ron d'At mfcldt, the Baron Ruuthand M. Hakan fon, fhouid be attacked, and their heads carried in triumph through the ftrcets ; that lieut. col. Lilienhorn major of guards, should immediately take the command of the troops in Stockholm ; that, when the public force was won over, the constitution should be restored to the ancient prin ciples of a limited monarchy; that the Prince Royal should be entirely executive, and commit ted to the national sovereignly." The persons arretted are chiefly young men. Several nobles, who were most forward in the op pofuion to the King, but who were incapable ol meditating h:s death, repaired to the palace, soon after the attempt was known. The King being informed that th<*C»untMc Brahe, one of th fe? was in an antl-chamber, making enquiries con cerning his situation, desired that he might be ad mitted, and said to him, u though he was undo circumstances much to be lamented, he regaided that day as happy lor himfelf, fTnce it had given him an opportunity of reconciliation with one of his oldest friends." By a private letter received at Paris from the nanks of the Rhine, it appears that the court of PrufTia had, some time ago, 'ordered the Pruflian Envoy at Paris to dispatch a courier the moment that war should be tefolved upon by the National Afiembly. The fit ft com ier has accordingly beer cnt with all expedition to HeflTe CafTel, from whence another was to be inflantly dispatched to 'he Commander in Chief of the army of 15,00 c Pruflians, waiting (or orders to march into Ltcgc. which they will easily accomplilh in three day*,.

One of the public Societies of Ireland have vo ted, " That proclamation of the Irish Parlia ment for apprehending Napper-Tandy, Lfq. with out giving him a luminous, is illegal, and ihall be brought forward to receive a judicial difcuftion." In consequence of the unfeeling sarcasms thrown out agarnit M. Gouvton in the National Afftmbly, by M. Chodieu, for having dared to complain that Ins brother was murdered by the soldiers ol Cha teaux, the sarcastic Legifljtor has been challenged by M. Gouvicn. They met near Bondy, and M. Chodieu was killed by the fir ft shot. While it might he supposed, that under the cir eumftanccs of a&ual war, in which the French arc now engaged, they would be glad to unite, and combine the abilities of their belt Generals, and those who have been the firmed friends to the re volution, we find the greatclt degradation cast on ML de Id Fayette that a rabble could invent. His bull, which was eretted at the expence of the na tion, for his supposed fcrvices to it in the begin ning of the revolution, has been torn down by |the mob, and ignominioufly dragged through the llreets of Paris.

PITTSBURGH, June 9. For the fatisfaftion of Che public, Capt. Jcffers has furniflied us with the following intelligence: Immediately on receiving information at Fort Franklin of the depredations committed by the Indians at Reed's Station, I marched, with the rangers under my command, in order, if poflible, to intercept the party on their return; but the diftance-and difficulty of the march, and other unavoidable obstacles, prevented it; and from the appearance of the tracks, the enemy had palled three days before. On the Shenango I fell in with two Munfees and a Cayuga, who 1 | made prisoners and brought to this place, but I from sundry circumstances ui their favot, Gen. Putnam thought proper to release them. A short distance beyond the Salt Licks, I fell in with a party of DeUwares, killed two, and wounded one. In justice to Messrs.

The last accounts from Europe inform, that Dr. Willis has pronounced the Queen oi Portu gal to be in a state of convalefcence —011 which account there were great rejoicings inLifbon. The report lately circulated in print, of the death of Mr. M'Gillivray, appears to be with out foundation. The Marquis Vaudreuil, Lieutenant-Gene ral of the Naval Forces of France, returned the following haughty answer to the letter of M.

The public good is the fnpreme law—this in thebafis of a republican government —the grand difficulty always has been, how this fhallbe moll effe&uaily secured and promoted. Ditto rent patriots, of equal worth and abilities, have differed as to the means—but this consideration weighs nothing with Chronus, who fay, every mail who does not adopt his plan, is a fool or a knave. It is a Client though persuasive eulogium on the operation of the mealurerqf the general go vernment, that they have produced throughput the union as great a degree of tranquility and apparent profperitv, as ever were enjoyed by the people of this country at any peripd since its firft settlement—and as an happy indication that the people are generally fatisfied conduct of their civil rulers, it may be noticed with fatisfa&ion, that in refpeft to the truly ra-._ publican state of Connecticut, the freemen there - * of have placed on their nomination-liftof mem bers of Congress, every one of the reprcfenta tives who have I'erved them in.the prel'ent and preceding Congrels.

The United States have happily paifed through this period of degradation and distress——but certain writers appear extremely solicitous to set us afloat* again, that they may enjoy the pleasure of wrecking the public tranquility preparatory to a scramble among the ruins which their storms shall have made. If a majority of the Lcgiflature of the United States, through four succeeding fellions, have uniformly been oppofcd in their measures by the wisest and best members, it follows that the people are totally unqualified to exercise most important of all republican rights, that ot election. What measure of government has not met with oppoiition ?—lt is as evident as any objedt of fcnfe can be, that however wife, honest and patriotic, the minority is cow, always was, and always will be, that the perfection of their sys tem was to do nothing.
