The Cornwallis brings advice fiom Canton,
that a Hock vard, called the lianfale, belonging to
the Dutch, had been burnt. 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

picfcribed on the 14th of January last j but this

The Einprels of Ruflia, it is laid, will fend a

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

whence another was to be inflantly dispatched to

In consequence of the unfeeling sarcasms thrown

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

As this will be the greatest movement ever at

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

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.

The committee role and reported progress.
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.
Those eagle-eyed politicians who fee ble
milhes in the fun, fay they are determined to
have a change of men and measures; but the
above circumstance does not do much credit to
their spirit of prophesy at least.,
Beware of that man who pretends to infalli
bility—ynu will find fucli an one a (lave to his
own opinions, and a tyrant in refpe<st to those
ofperi'ons who differ from him-
Times of confufion and anarchy afford the
only opportunities to men of no industry, pro
perty or Ifcnciples, io which tbev stand any
chance oftnending their condition. 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. This is certainly the
surest way to escape censure ; it is something
more, for the negative qualities of the minority
are always positive virtues, till they are unfold
ed in action.
