ROME, April 24 In the vicinity of Frefcaii, have been lately discovered the remains ot the ancient city or Gabii, which was overwhelmed many ages ago by tbe eruptions of Vesuvius. In the firft digging many fragments of marble pillars have been discovered, the ru ins of temples, and mutilated statues. This fortunate discovery promises fair to enrich our cabinets with pre cious antiquities, the invaluable re mains of the genius and arts of an cient Italy. STRASBOURG, May 8 The declaration of war, by the Aflem bly, has produced here the mod live ly emotions of joy.—Our troops are in high fpivits, and eager to engage the mercenaries of Austria.. This, in a great measure, is due to the fkil ful arrangements, zeal, anil patriot ifen of Marechal Luckner. This of ficer poflefles in the highelt degree the confidence of the army, and if conduced by him, will do every thing that men can do. He is one of those' few men who can derive advantages even from misfortune. The late dil aftrous events at M<ms and Tournay, have determined him to enforce the niolt rigid discipline, to prevent such disasters in future,,and ensure success. The following is the addrefshe made to his army 011 this fubjevfi, on the jth instant. " Marechal Luckner informs the army and the citizens that have taken up arms for the maintenance of liber ty, that the whole amount of the killed in the repulse from Mons and Tournay, is about one hundred and fifty men. The Marechal is fully sen sible that this failure of success can not but re-animate the courage of all true Frenchmen. He well knows they are worthy to be a free nation, and as such capable of ftruggiing a gainst the blasts of adveil'e fortune. By a steadiness and resolution, cha rafteriftic of brave men, who are fighting for their lights, they will soon learn how tocirryofF the vic tory from hostile mercenaries.— As to hinifelf (the General said) his duty as a good citizen, was to use his au thority and experience, tp inftrutft those unde: his command in jhofe ri gid duties of discipline, by which alone victory could be purchased to guide them, to habituate them to the arduous toils of war, and to teach them all. that it is only by submitting the energy that animates them to the direction of their chiefs, that they can acquire or preserve the afcendnn cy that Ihould characterize the sol diers of liberty.

Yesterday, the Committee appoint ed by the friends to Liberty, porfu jant to public notice, allembled at Bar din's tavern/and from thence pro ceeded to the house of the Hon. John Jay, attended by a numberof reipec't able ci;izens, v;hen the following ad dress was prelented : — To the Hon. JOHN JAY, Esq. Chief Jufticc of the United States. SI R, PERMIT us, in behalf of ourselves and the very refpe&able body of our fellow citizens which wc have thi ho nor to represent, to congratulate you upon your fate return to thi* city from the eallerii circuit. The Friends of Liberty have ever entertained a lively sense of the im portant services which you have ren dered to y«>ur county, in every iitu ation in which you have been placed. Whether they examine your conduct as a member of the general Congress, at the most trying periods of the late war, and of the Convention which framed the constitution ofthis state or consider your agency in negociat ing the treaty which secured to Ame rica the blefiings of peace, liberty, and fafety, they find a continual dif play of abilities and virtue which will hand your name down to remote poflerity, as Que of the iUujirious de fenders of the rights of men. It was this lenfe, Sir, of your pub lie Cervices, which induced the inde pendent freeholders of the (fate to nominate and support you at the last election as a candidate for the office of their chief i«agiltrate, and procur ed you a decided majority of votes. Thus called to enjoy one of the high est honors in the power of a grates ul people to bestow, it was not to be ex pected that you would have been de prived of it by the machinations of a few interefled and defigriing m*n. In contempt, however of the sa cred voice of the people—in defiance of the conflitution—and in violation of uniform practice and the fettled principles of law , we have seen a ma jority of the canvafling committee re ject the votes of whole counties, for the purpose of excluding you and nuking way for a Governor of their own choice. This wanton an.l daring artack upon the invaluable right of suss.age, has excited a serious alarm amonglt the electors of the state, and 58 united them in meafares to obtaii; redrefs—ln the pursuit of an object so interesting, we (ball, like Freemen, a<fl with moderation and order, but at the fame time with zeal and per feverance.—Wliilft we refpe<ft the laws, we relpetft ourselves and our rights, and feel the strongest obliga tion to support and maintain them. The cause in which we are engaged being the cause of the people, we fiul! that it cannot fail of success ; but in every event, we entreat you to believe, that you will retain a dillin guilhed place in our afFe<fti»«s, and that v.e fliall embrace every opportu nity to manifeft the unbounded con fidence which we repose in your ta lents and patriotism. By order of the Committet, NICHOLAS CRUGER,Chairman. New York, July 13, x 792. Tf which Mr, Jay made the following ■reply : Gentlemen, IT is far more pleasing to receive proofs of ihe confidence and attach ment of my native city, than it is ea sy to express the sense which that con fidence and that attachment inspire. When I reflect on the facrifices and efforts in the cause of liberty, which diflinguiftied this state during the late war, my feelings are very sensi bly affected by the favorable light in which yon regard my conduct during that interesting period. That cause was patronized by him who gave to men the rights we claimed : He crowned it with success, and made it intlrumental to our enjoying a de gree of national prosperity, unknown to any ot her people : — May it be per petual ! Such is our constitution, and fucli are the means of procuring or derand good government, with which we are blefled, that while ourcitizens remain virtuous, free, and enlighten ed, few political evils can occur, for which remedies perfectly effectual, and yet perfectly confident with ge nera] tranquility cannot be found and applied. I derive great fatisfacftion from .the hope and expectation that the event which at present excites fn much a larm and anxiety, wijl give occafton only to such measures as patrjotifin may direift and jultify ; and that the vigilance and wisdom of the people will always afford to their rights that protection, for which other countries, less informed, have often too preci pitately recurred to violence and com motion. In qneftions touching our constitu tional privileges, all ihe citizens are •qually interelled ; and the I'ocial duties call upon U3 all to unite in dif cufling these queltions ' with candor and temper, in deciding them with circumspection and impartiality, and in maintaining the equal lights of all with conllancy and fortitude. They who do what they haven right to do, give no jolt cavif'e of of fence ; and therefore every consider. ation of propriety forbids that dif ferences in opinion refpeifting candi dates, {honld suspend or interrupt thai mutual humor and benevolence which harmonizesfociety,and foftens the asperities incident to human life and human affairs. By those free and independent e lecftors who have given me their fuf frages, I efteein my ("elf honored ; — for the virtuous who withheld that mark of preference, I retain, and ought to retain, my former refpecfi and good will —to all 1 wish proiprri ty, public and private. Permit me, gentlemen, to aflure you, and'your constituents, that as 1 value their es teem, and rt-joice in their approbati on, (o it will always be my delirc, as well as my doty, tojuftify as far as poilible, ihe fcntiments which they entertain ot me : and which you, Sir, have exprefled in terms, and in a manner, which demand, and which eceive, my warm ell acknowied:*- JOHN JAY. meats NEW BERN, (N.C.)
