Brice, from Havre de Grace, and other late arrivals—theft inform that the Austrian troops are in motion from various quar ters, marching to the territory of Bavaria, &c. That the city of Louvaine was to prepare for the reception of 10,000 troops—That Madame, wife of Monficur the French King's eldcft bro ther, is gone to her father the King of Sardinia— That travellers are permitted to proceed on tV;irjournies in Sweden, tranquility being main tirhied in the capital and in the reft of the king dom—That Count Horn was concerned in the late affaflination; that he gave the figr.al by striking the King on the (houldcr, and faying to him, bo'n fair mafqut, and while the King turned his head, Angerftrom fired—That the States of Brabant have consented to the fuMdie- which thev have hitherto refuted; the principal ob ject", ofdifpute having been previouflv lettled; the court having yielded to the withes of the Brabancons in granting the eflablithment of a permanent deputation at Vienna to watch over the interests of the nation; while the Stater, made equal facrifices on their part, in order to secure tranquility—A general invasion on the part of the French was daily expected at BruflTells; Luxemburghand Namur have orders to defend themselves to the last extremity; other places to be evacuated as soon as the enemy appears. —Notwithstanding the strongest precautions to prevent a iecond infurre&ion, the inhabitants of the Low Countries appear more than ever disposed to assert their indepen dence ; and the government is said to be in the greatest alarm with refpeft to the present pos t-ore of affairs. The apprehension that the French would in vade the territory of Liege, has induced theße public, fays an article under the head Hague, to advance troops towards the frontiers —they talk of diftribiiting 20,000 men on the frontier towards Maeft'richt, which it is expe&ed will be the theatre of the war. Ankerftrom, it is said, expired in the midst of tortures, which had been applied to extort a confeflion of his accomplice",—he remained firm to the last, and made no discoveries, affirming ithat he alone was guilty. TheEmprefsof Rullia, it is faid,has exprefled some hostility to the new constitution of Poland. I The ardor of the people of France to defend the new constitution, may be conceived of in some measure from this circumstance—on its jbeing known that 50,300 men were wanted to Ljompleat the army,3?o,ooo volunteers appeared enrolled. r The condutt of the Jacobin club, misrepresent /ed by partial foreign papers, has given uneafuief* /to the friends of liberty, good order and the French in this portion of the globe. Their stre nuous and' fuccefsful opposition to minfftry has been looked upon as the vi&ory of faflion over eftablifhcd The word Club gives an idea bf a confined knot of men, and when the ob- ject of that club is known to be political opinions, theexpreflion itfeJf is almost fynonimous to fac tion : But give them their other name, Society ot Friends to the constitution ;—To this add, that a majority of the leading men in the nation belong to the Society, and you totally change their cha racter. This Society, fundamentally republican, has long viewed with regret and opposed with firmnefs the doubtful measures of the ex-ministry. Mimfters are changed, the views ot the society are fulfilled ; deciOve meafuiesare adopted the op position ot the Jacobins will die away, until a treth cause calls it into asion. The insult offered by the People of Paris to the bust and name of Fayette, has'given pain to all who have ever heard a name, which alone gives an idea of real greatness and disinterested patriotism. This insult,- however unmerited, is perhaps not wholly to be attributed to the blind and ufUhiiik* ing madness of a mob. It is prohable that La Fayette "has (hewn himfelf too prudent in the late crfis, and that his caution, by minds enthusiastic of liberty, mav have been mistaken tor want of zeal in the good cause. It is certain that a line of conduct ftriftly prdper in fettled and quiet times, does not suit in times of political agitation. When parties run high, the good cause mufl be supported with enthuliafm and absolute violence, to outweigh a&ivity and extravagance of oppofue partizans. On Monday night last, the store of Messieurs Brown & Szvaine, in Second-street, Northern Li berties, was broke open and robbed of fundrv goods and effects to the amount of about five hundred pounds. The villains gained admission by drawing the hook of the window lhutter hinges. H The biU for incorporating the new Bank in the town of Boston, was negatived the 13th inft. yeas 80—nays 92. The account publiflied in several papers of an attack on the town of Frankfort, in Kentucky,' is not true. A gentleman dire&ly from the place, who left it since the event is said to have happened, fays no attack has been made on the town. It was reported at Frankfort, that some ftragcrl ng Indians had killed one man, and itole some horses not far from that settlement. Capt. Thistle, arrived at Beverly, Maffachu fett:, from Bayonne inFrance, whence he failed on the 27th of April, informs, that War had been dailyexpefted during hisftayatßayonne— that there, as well as in every other part of France, they were diligently preparing for it, by training their militia, in which every lad al most taat could lift a inufket was enrolled— t:iat the people were in high spirits, and confi dent of l'utcefs. On Wednefddy last was held in tiie Methcdift Church In Fourth-street, a commencement of a number of the Students in the Young Lady's Academy, under the fuperintendance of Mr. Poor. A large and refpe&able audience at tended on the occasion, who appeared to be greatly ploafed and entertained with the per formances of the day.—-Diplomas were received from the hands of the principal, Mr. Poor, by nine young Ladies, who have finifhed then education in the Academy.

E, No country tinder Heaven pays more atten tion to education than the people of Connetti cut; there is not a village or hamlet, however fmail, but in i? you will find a School-house and a teacher. Nor is there any country which af fords motives equally cogent for the acquilition of learning. Here the people (with some few exceptions) enjoy an equal djftribution of pro perty, destitute of titulary dignity and devoid of apceftral pride, they start fair for the temple oifumi; and the son of the humble peai'ant may one day find himfelf in the feat of the chief ma gistrate of a sovereign frate. Farmer's Jotir. As ignorance is the only basis on which ty ranny can be supported, so knowledge is the only fafeguard of civil liberty. It is a fmgular omiflion in the politics of those who find fault with public measures, that they content themselves with mere efforts to alarm the people, sometimes by innuendoes, and some times by open abuse, without ever coming for ward with a fpecific proportion to place the great mass of the people in a situation to acquire that information so necessary to enable them to judge for themselves.—So far from this, that on the contrary, those parts of the union which have done the molt in favor of uni versal education, and diffufing knowledge among the people, are constantly stigmatized as the abodes of aristocracy and slavery ! There cannot be a greater abuse of terms than to denominate the man who advocates the cause of learning and the dilTemination of know ledge among the people, an enemy to the rights of man. But such is the consistency of some,. that those who have wrote and said the best things'on this fubjedt that ever were penned or uttered, have been held up to view as contem ners of the people ! This inconsistency has been carried further—the man who has developed and e<pofed the evils of an aristocratic govern ment a manner superior to all other writers on theVubjeft, is depicted as the great champion of that moll deteftabie species of government! At a numerous and refpe&able meeting of the citizent of New-York on Monday last, in conie- the decision of a majority of the joint committee appointed to canvas the votes taken at the last elcdlion for Governor, Lieutenant Govern or, aud Senators of that State—a number of spi rited i£folutions were unanimously adopted rela tive to the fubjeft, which state in substance—that the rejection of the votes of the Freeholders of the Counties of Otfego, Clinton and Tioga, taken at the late ele&ion is unwarranted by the conftitu tioji, contrary to law, and a dangerous violation of the right of fuffiage— that the warm and grateful thanks Df all the ele&ors in the State are due to the ininoiity of the said committee for the patri otifra and firmnefs displayed by them in opposing th 6 wanton attack which has been made on the freedom of the people—that it be recommended to the independent electors of the fcveral counties to enter into resolutions expreflive of their senti ments on this very important occasion, and that they be requcfted to unite with the the city and county of New-York in an application to the Legislature for a redress of the injury done to the rights of the people. A committee of for ty-one Citizens was alio appointed to communicate t lie resolutions of the meeting to the different coun ties of the State, to correspond with, frich com mittees as may be appointed by the other counties and to dcvife such measures as may be best calcu lated to support the rights of the people. As a counterpart to the above, there is a publi cation in the New-Yoik Daily Advertifei of Tues day, which states that the above meeting was called by a partial invitation to the friends of liberty— that a general invitation was published the fame day for the friends of libeity, who wilhed to sup port the constitution, the government and laws, to meet at the fame place at 12 o'clock the fame day; that the citizens accordingly assembled, but j those who firft met agreeable to the lajl invitation, appearing to be the mod numerous, the leaders of the party who adopted the resolutions, appre hending their measures would be discussed and debated, thought it most prudent not to proceed to bufmefs at the time and place appointed.—That they accordingly adjourned to the portico of Tri nity Church, where Robert Troup, Elq. mounted in a chair in a hurried, tone of voice and with a coun tenance Jo dijlorted as gave pain to alt who beheld him, read oyer a set of resolutions, the contents of which could iot be heard by the nearest bye-ftander— that believer reversed a (ingle qucftion for tear of a diflc.nt —that he nominated a committee of twenty or thirty persons for some purpose or oiher—obtained with considerable difficulty four or five huzzas, and in icn or fifteen minutes com plcated the business of the day. Wednesday last arrived in this city Col. Joseph Brandt, the celebrated Chief of the Six Nations ot Northern Indians. Tbe.following gentlemen were elected mem bers of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, at a meeting held in Boston the 29th ult.—Sir William Hamilton, k. b. f. r. s. the Rev.

The profpeft of affairs in that diftrefled and almost de foiatcd island, when this vcflVl failed, was lament able indeed. There was not the least appearance of the re-eltablilhment of peace, or of any succour to the white inhabitants ; and every day exhibited frefh scenes of devastation. 1 wenty families came passengers in the above vcflel.

Fxtrafl of a letter from Germanfown, June 16. " Since the eftablifiiment of the society in; this place, for promoting domestic manufac-: tures ? poufiderable progress has been made in the linen and woollen branches; and a great emulation has been created to make use of American articles of cloathing. The society is now turning its attention to the culture of iilk. At the last meeting of the society, the President distributed a quantity of the eggs of the silk worm, and it is expected that an attention to this fubjedt will in a few years contribute to the prosperity of our village.—One member of the society has sown twenty bufliels of flaxleed this year, the produce of which will be manufactur ed in the neighbourhood." ExtraEl from the Anjwer to Gweinor H&ncock's speech y delivered at the opening oj the JeJfion of the Legijlature of Majjachufetts. " Good morals and ufeful knowledge gene rally difFufed among the people, are an efTential part of the broad basis of Freedom. We there fore are deeply sensible, that we owe a li6eral patronage to our University and public schools. u The generous philanthropy exprefTed by your Excellency, and the particular gratitude to the ration, that riobly relieved our diftrefles, command our entire approbation. We view with peculiar pleasure the spirit of Liberty spreading in Europe, and from its rapid diffu -11 on, we anticipate the happy period, when the Freedom of all nations will be eftablilhed on a permanent balis, and the people throughout the world, however differing in language, or com plexion, enjoy unmolested, the " Rights oj Man." ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIONS. The a&s of the general government, which j the enemies of the public tranquility are indus- j trioufly attempting to render odious to the peo ple, are, the a<st making provision for the debt of the United States—the ast establishing a Bank—and the Excise Law.—Supposing it pof- I fible to effect a change of men, is it probable that a change of measures in refpedt to these laws would follow ?—Wife men, if honest, would pause before they would essentially alter the fyf- j tems founded on those laws. The firft have pro duced greater benefits than were anticipated; tho' ther public expectation was high. The short-lived concufiion which sprung from a tem porary frenzy for speculation, was no more chargeable on these systems than the abuse of! the noblest faculties of man is an impeachment j of the wisdom that formed those faculties.— This aberration from the dictates of common | sense has worked its own who can de fer ibe tfye fatal consequences which would re sult from a subversion of the exilling plans; those refpectlng finance and revenue ? It is of immense importance that a steady faith in the {lability of the public counsels should be supported. Let the people have fair play—let them be informed as to the realcharaElcrs of ni cn, and they will not lightly chufe those to conduct their affairs who are given to change, aud who will make alterations that would plunge this country in fceries of distress which have not hi therto been experienced. That change of measures which is so repeat edly adverted to in the National GaztttCf which appears to be so ardently wished for, and is so frequently and confidently anticipated, is no thing less than a subversion of the funding sys tem !—Heaven avert such an event ! It would be laying the axe to the great pillars of our na tional prosperity—the commerce, agriculture and manufactures of the country—and what is worse than all, perhaps, it would open the flood gates of {peculation, and consign us over to all the horrors of national bankruptcy and national infamy. Can those persons who attempt to un settle the public confidence in theJlabilny of the' most important measures of government, be ei ther good men, or good citizens ? No, they are not. While our country is progrefling in arts, ma nufactures, agriculture and commerce—while universal peace and tranquility reign through out the union (the alarms from savages alone ex cepted)—while the legislatures of the refpedlive states are recognizing the bleflings of peace, LIBERTY and fafety, under the auspices of the general and state governments*—there are persons so loft to the sense of gratitude to Hea ven for these invaluable favors, as to employ their whole time in attempts to four the pub lic mind against the men, and again ft the mea sures, which providence hath made the instru ments of producing this unexanipled state of public prosperity. * See the speeches oj Governors, and answers o) AJJcmblies, lately publijhed. Is it not aftonifliing that the calumniators of the government should continue to arrogate to themf«ives one particle of merit as developers of darkdnd nefarious designs against the interests of the people, and as ferretters of iniquity, when they have not been able to point out an indivi dual person, or certify a flngle fa&, though re peatedly called upon to do both, which lhould | embolden them to such effrontery. 'Till they do Echo from her caves, Such gen'ral Jland'rers are the worjl of knaves Whatever the propagaters df calumriy may fay to the contrary, there has never been a ftngle drcumftance produced in all their writings ro evince that those persons who for party nurpofes it is neceflary to abuse, have ever cteviated in the lmalJeit degree from that re3i'n>2, patriot ism anil independence, which eftablfHied their characters in the darkest hours America ever knew, and ftiil rivets them to the affections of every real friend to liberty aiid their country. Major General \V ay ne arrived at Pittsburgh Thursday the 14th inft. On his entering tie town he was falujed by a difchurge of artillery from Fort Fayette. We are happy to find that the pvopofiil for publifliing a paper in the French language in this city, meets with very general upprobatioi; we willi the undertaker success, as many obvi ous advantages will result from the execution of hi? plan—patticularly in facilitating the ac quisition of a language which is so ornamental an accompliihment—and so highly neceifarv to be understood in our interesting connection and intercourse with the enlightened, and now free : nation in alliance with these States- CANCERS. REPEATED applications of leeches to Can cers have been attended with great fuccef— A man who had undergone the operation of the knife on a Cancer in his lower lip, without be ing cured, was advised to apply leeches—the three firft, after fucking a considerable time, dropped off, dead—a few days after, three more were applied, these died like the former of the cancerous poison—in less than a week he ap plied three more, which, after fucking some time, dropped off alive. This wrought a per fect cure. WHILE the surviving patriots who atchieved theindependendence of their country, enjoy the bleflings in peace and prosperity, while attention dwells on the memory of a departed parent, fritnd, or benefa£ror ; and while flattery, with artificial honors, decorates the tomb of the offlueut and great, jufticeand fent'ment forbid, that RICHARD FULJLERTON, should pass unnotie'd to the grave. A native of Pennfvlvania, a citizcn of the Union, he early dis tinguished himfelf in the cause of A merican liber ty. In the military scene, which, during the momentous contest, was indeed the ordeal " to try men's fouls "he was brave, vigilant, and a&ivc. Thtough the various gt ades o! the Peonfylvania line, he rose with reputation ; though his ambition aimed not at rank, as an instrument of personal elevation, but as the means of enabling him to ad vance that service, in which his heart was enthusi astically warmed, and his lile cheerfully exposed. With fiich motives the humbled talents could afford eflVntial aid fbut tothebeft wilhes, Full er ton united a Capacity, to promote thetriumphs of his country. The Veterans who remember him in the various characters of Soldier, Officer and Infoeflor, will bear testimony of his pra£tice and of his (kill, in discipline and ta&ics ; and tho his name should not be enrolled with the illustrious namesof Washington, of Greene, of Mer cer, and Montgomery, may it never he for gotten in the long catalogueof those who have con tributed, to the happiness asd gloryjof Ameiica. Public and private virtue are more allied than common critics can perceive, or captious mifan throdes allow !
