ELIZABETH-TOWN, August 23. It mull be pleasing to the friend-, ot' New- Jorfev, to find that fever 3! new manufaftorles are eftab'.ilhing; and that, this Hitherto opprefled state miy yet rile to importance, and fliine with Iplendor in the new confte'.lation. We hear from Pater Con, that Major L'Enfant has prepared a plan of the town, which far fur pafies any thing of the kind yet seen in this country. Cotton manufactures' in this country are be .oming numerous; and it is the opinion of fonie, jiotwithftanding labpr is higher than in Europe, that as we can have the raw material of cotton upon the fame term?,or better than in England, it can be imported. The advantage of mills and other hydraulic machines will be avail fay ing of labor. SD N B U K Y, August u. FOR THE SUNBUR* GAZETTE. Mr. Kennedy, As the flux is now raging with much malignancy, in many parts of this country, 1 take the liberty of pub lishing the following simple cure, which after an experience of its uti lity, for near 40 years, I will venture to recommend as a sovereign re medy, Take two teafpoonsful of clean lickory or oak ashes, quite hoc, in naif a gill of old spirits, whilky or milk, morning and evening. It is feldoin neceflary to repeat it more than two or three days. N. B. Let the patient observe at the time, to live on a flour diet alto gether ; and it would contribute much to the cure if a warm flannel was conftamly wore next to the flo mach. A Subscriber. Philadelphia, Aug. 29. The Ship Friendship, Capt. Brice, is arrived at New-York, from London, in 6o days palfage. She brings papers to the 19th June —extra&s from which fliall appeal - in our next. The ftilp George, of Boston, Silas Daggett, master, arrived in Hampton-Road, Virginia, the 17t!i inft. in 35 days from Cadiz—By him we learn, that the people of Spain having ex prefied great alarm and uneasiness at being kept in ignorance of what was doing in France, the Minister thought it best to allow them the liber ty of speaking freely on political fubje&s; in conlequence of which the French Constitution had become the fubjeftof common conversation in all the coffee-houfes and places of public re sort That the King of PrufTia had withdrawn his troops intended to ast against France, in order to keep a watchful eye over the condutt of the Empress ofßulTia, with regard loPoland: That M. de la Fayette was carrying all before him—and that wherever he penetrated into the Austrian dominions, the people had declared in favor of the French Constitution. James Napper Tandy, Esq. has been acquit ted by a Jury in Dublin, on his indi&ment for challenging the Solicitor-General. Very honorable notice is taken of the zeal and indefatigable exertions of M. de laFayette,; in a letter from Paris, in forming and difcip!in-f ing the French army—that he may bring it to such perfection as to be an effefhial barrier a gainst the inroads of the Auftrians or their al lies. These inceflant cares are however begin ning to affect a constitution naturally strong, and a spirit replete with enthufiafmfor the wel fare and final eftablifhinent of the rights of man kind. M. de la Favette eats little, and carries an example of temperance almost to extrava gance. Sleepless nights and toilsome days are the lot of this a£Hv? friend to mankind —and hifto: v will mark ' out as or.c of those few extraordinary men who are for the human race. Lad Saturday morning a fine fcnale child was found in a cellar window at the corner of E'ft\r"A'ley in Second street.—The humane pe< p e in the neighbourhood took proper care of it.

A.filip is arrived at Charljefton, .(S. C.) from Ireland, with 35 3 pafiengers. A Paris paper of June 9, mentions a late in difpolition of the King and Queen j and at tTie fame time their con vale fee nee. The Prince Royal is also mentioned as Very ill, and daily declining in health and spirits. Capt. Egar, of the Molly, arrived last Thurf- j day from Cape-Francois, in 12 days, with 22' passengers. The disturbances at the Cape have little appearance of ceafirg. The Commander in Chief had given great disgust, by lending back | the troops to Old France, which were sent out for the defence of the iftands. The Mulattos are in the full enjoyment of liberty, but will not adt against the Negroes, who continue as turbu lent as ever. They made a very desperate at tack on Fort Dauphin, about 3 or 4 clays prior to Capt. Egar's departure from the island, but were repulsed with verv inconf:derable loss on the part of the garrison, although the (laughter of the blacks could not have been under four or five hundred. This fort, which is situate be tween the Cape and Fort-Crispin, is of such con sequence, that, had it been taken, the Cape must have inevitably fallen next. The Negro Camp is so near the Cape, that the noifeof their firing is heard every night. All the plantations, ex cept one or two, are destroyed by the Negroes, and on these they are conflantly making repeat ed attempts. Extratt of a letter from Cape-Francois, July 28. u One of the government schooners brought yesterday into our port a Spanish schooner, ta ken by her in Maribaroufe River : the prize had on board four guns, 4 pounders; seven t|iou fand weight of powder, four hundred cutlafies, and some muskets, which (he was conveying to the rebel Negroes near the Cape.—The Captain was on shore treatingwith them; and the crew, consisting of 3 men, have been put in prison." Extrafl of a Utter from Fort-Knox (Vivcennes) dated J»it }5< >79 2 ' " I am afraid, my friend, that we {hall have a very ugly job on hand, with this Indian war. The Indians on this river are peaceable enough with a great deal of watching and coaxing— they come in here very frequently, and appear to have a great itch for fcalpingand plundering, and nothing, I imagine, but their concern for the prisoners we have, restrains them from tak ing up the hatchet. " A few days ago, several Chiefs came in from Opec, a place high up on the Illinois river, and, in their speech to Major Hamtramck, told him they were frequently invited and threaten ed by the Miami Indians to induce them to go to war against us, but that they had not, nor did intend to do it. That we must keep a good heart, for we should have a great many more to fight this year than we had the last—wished us success, and hoped we might give them a good drubbing. The Major enquired whether the Britilh made them any presents—they re plied, that the Britifti gave them goods like stacks of hay, provisions, arms, ammunition, and every thing but big guns. u Indeed, every intelligence we have receiv ed from the Miami villages, corroborate so far as to convince us that there will be double the number of Indians in the field this year, there was the last, and the British continue to supply them with every thing they want; so that I think a few of us will be apt to lose our hair." F.xtraif? oj a Utter from Paris, June 11 The French nation will be free, in spite of the number of difientions fomented even in their aflembly, by the enemies to all liberty; the greatest, and the far greatest part of the na tion, being (launch to the constitution. " I have been once to the National Aflem bly, and was sorry to fee the want of order that prevailed in the meeting of the representatives of so formidable and powerful a nation as France. Though there are many very emi nent chara<sters among the members, it is easy to perceive that they are divided into several interests : some wifti to have entirely a repub lic, others more power and more confidence in the supreme executive ; and others (who are the wisest) wish to preserve the constitution as received and as eftabliftied : in fa&, some are too moderate, and some too violent, and the greatest diffidence exists, and not without rea son, since the desertion of some men who had even a great hand in the revolution : But not zuit/ijldtiding all that, Liberty and the Rights oj Man will pjevail." The Medical Society of the State of Dela ware have announced the following queflion as a fubjedtof prize dilfertation, and invite the in genious and learned of ail nations to the com petition—viz. " What is the origin and nature of the noxi ous power which prevails especially in hot and moist climates during summer and autumn, and produces intermittent and remittent fevers, and certain other difeales ? By what means may this insalubrity of climate be corre<sted ; — and the diseases thence arifmg moil luccefsfully prevented and treated The competitors for this prize are requeued observe, that the means of correcting this species of noxious climate, will be considered as the principal stress of the proposed queflion.

This question might, perhaps,with proprie ty have been addrefied to those who have secret ly influenced the measures of Congress, and who are now exerting every nerve to fill the new legislature with men devoted to avarice, and who will humbly pursue every measure dictated by their patrons." As avarice is the basest pafHon that can dis grace the character of our species, it is a molt humiliating refle&ion that our public measures should in this early period of our existence as a nation, be controuled by men devoted to its in fluence.—A correspondent observes on the a bove paragraph from the u National Gazette" —that it conveys the mod audacious imputati on on the character of the people, who elected the members of Congrefc—it is little fliort of faying that the freedom of ele&ion is rather a curse than a blessing—But who, enquires our correspondent, are the men who Iwve made the members o/Congrefs Hie tools of their avarice —and who are the men that have thus fold themselves to the worlhippers of mammon? Let ' their names be expoled that the people may j know them—till this is done, such inuendoes can pass for nothing better than the suggestions ofabafe mind—The authors of insinuations like the foregoing, cannot be considered as friends of the people, of the union, or of the li berties of this country—They may with pro priety be ftiled incendiaries, who scatter fire brands, arrows and death. | Reason should govern one man—it should go vern all men—it is opposed by pafTlon, which 'should not govern at all. When the enemies of government address the pailions of the people, as they inceflantly do, it is to prevent their be- j ing governed by reafon—for the government of j ! reason is fatal to party influence. Perfect peace and tranquility arefeldom long enjoyed by any society or community—the peo ple of the United States appear to have the most favorable profpedts that were ever pre sented to the sons of men of a long series of en ci-eafing happincfs-—but there are men among us who are determined to blast our hopes, and to turn our glory into shame and contempt. These eagle-eyed politicians are so iharp fighted, that they can fee, as the man did thro' the telescope, things out of fight. Nay, they arrogate to themselves the attribute of omnis cience, and judge not only of actions by their falfe conceptions of things,but even of the hearts of those who presume to have an opinion of their own, different from their's. It is said, that " the ambition and avarice of some men are never to be fatisfied."—Que re, whether those passions in any man or men, were ever fatisfied ? But unfortunately for the coun try, it is further said, " a few ambitious and avaricious men, have been for some time bend ing the whole power of the United States to promote their private views of ambition and wealth/'-—What a service would some men, who are entirely diverted of these infernal pas sions, render their country, by pointing outwith their finger of scorn, these men of ambition and avarice, who 4i ast as if they wished to bring j the whole wealth and power of the country un der their feet."—Que re, whether the " men who have for some time been bending the whole power of the United States," may not be said to have it already fufficiently in their power to put "it under their feet -Quere —What fort of government is that where every law enadted by the legislature thereof ought not to be obey ed ?—Quere —What is Republicanism ?—What a pity M'Fingal's opinion is not reducible to pra&ice ! You (hall be vice-roys, it is true, But we'll be vice-roys over you. It is said, that " the civil wars of modern Europe have been distinguished rot only by the fierce anhnofity, but likewise by the obllinate perseverance of the contending factions." Tne lame remark will equally well apply to the civil wars of every age and every country—the rea son is obvious—personal animosities put a keener edge on the spirit of resentment, and the desire of revenge, than general quarrels be tween different states, governments and king doms—the parties are likewise more fully ap prized of the strength and refourc«s of their re fpciftive opponents —this circumstance reduces them to a point of nearer equality, and serves to prolong the contest. Further, the parties generally contend for life, farae and fortune ; the unfortunate principals of either fide, always falling facrifices to the vengeance of the victors. It is a circumllance to be noted, that in molt civil wars, the ostensible motives are similar— thus religion was the object in the civil wars of France, which deluged that country in bloods or near a century. The Protestant religion on one fide, the Catholic on the other Aud if Catharine, Empress of Germany, can excite a civil war in Poland, the enemies of the revolu on will probably fay, as well at its friends, that Liberty is their object. all be found to merit the premium, the refervc the power of withholding, and; ■* it to fonie other important puipofes. On Tuesday the 2ift inft. arrived at Boftor, the schooner* Harmony, Capt. Drew,from Bour deaux. By letters received per this arrival elated June 29th, we are informed that the young King ot Ilungaryand Bohemia Was dead, luppofed by poison : That there were commoti ons in Prulfia, which it was thought, would ope rate in favor of the French revolution : That rJlignat:, have appreciated from 63 to 40 per cent discount: That, notwithstanding, bulinefs j was alniofl ftagnajsed ; and the nation feeined /(n a liatc of anxiety for some gieat event; That desertions from the old troops of France had become rtiore common than heretofore, ow ing to bad management in the Commilfary and Quarter Mailers' departments ; but that the spirit of the people was very far from being in the leafl deprefied. At a Meeting of the Gertnantown Society for pro moting Doraeltic Manufactures, on Monday lall f the following Addiefs was delivered by the Prejidcnt. CENTIEMEN, DID not your Iteody attention and exertions to promote American manuiattuii-i affoid a pleali >g afiurance of your determined relolution to support them ; I ihould not at this time call your atten tion to the schemes of Tome influential characters in the United States, which if earned into lull ef te£f, will tend to destroy the infant manuia£turrs of our country. You are all acquainted with the proportion of the Secretary ot the Tieafury to establish national manufa£tonea, and that at this moment he is pursuing his plan with unremitted attention. Should he be fuccefsful in this project, to what situation will you be reduced, who are perfonajly engaged in manufaftuies ? Will not the exemption from militia duty, and the cxclufiVc privileges granted to the -workmen of fucli fafto i ies, draw off your hands ? Will not the prodigi ous capitals of monied men, invcfled infucheftab lifhments, enable them to monopolize all the raw materials, particularly in the important occupa tions of the hatter and tanner ? Will not the ex cluAve privilege granted to the corporation ot [establishing lottei ies to indemnity them for lodes, enable the company to underlell and ruin every private citizen perlonally engaged in maiiufaflures? Will not the arbitrary and unjultifiable interference of government in the private occupations of, citi zens discourage young men trom acquiring the knowledge of any occupation in which they may be ruined by a combination of rich men enjoying the particular patronage and protc&ion of govern ment? Nat. Gaz. 1 his fubjeft and ihefe questions merit your fc rious attention. As yet you have the power in your own hands, you ought to exert it to support your rights. It is the slavish do&rine of some men, " that government has the whole property of citizens un der its command, and that every law enacted by (he legislature ought to be obeyed." No govern ment on earth can be inveiled with power to vio late those natural rightsof man, the prote&ion of which is the sole obje£t of the inftiiution of civil lociety, thereiore, every attempt made by the le giflatuie to destroy them, ought to be oppoied by a free people. 1 he ambition and avarice of some men are ne ver to be fahsfied. A few luch characters have been for fon>e time bending the whole power of the United States to piomote thtir own private views ol ambition and wealth. Not content with the honorable name of citizen, they wilh to in troduce diitin&ion of rank ; not content with en joying at their cafe every advantage whieh our country can afford, or their wealth procure, they desire to interfere in the occupations, and tocui tail the enjoyments of their lellow-citizens. They a6l as if they wished to bring the whole wealth and power of the country under their feet. May the early oppofniou of the People of America to the unjufl meafuresof these deluded men—may the glorious and blessed light of the French revo lution, aided by the writingsof the friendly clubs in England, tend to convince them of their er rors, and bring them to regard the rights of men in every occupation, as sacred.

Mr. Fenno, THE obje&ions to the law pasTed by ihc Lcgif lature of New-Jeifey lor incorporating the lociety inftitutcd for the promotion of Manufactures, con taincd'in the above addrcfs, your readers may rr j col jell to have seen in a performance signed Clitus, which was publi(hed in the Gazette of the United States about the time that the law was enacted.— That speculation was firft printed in hand-bill«,and circulated in that Stale previous to the pafling of the law.—Let it be remembered that the establish ment in New-Jersey is a State buftnefs—that it is not a national inftitution—aud that the citizens of that State are alone accountable for any confc quences which may result from it. It is to be presumed that the Lcgiflature of New- Jersey knew what they were about when they parted the ast of incorporation. Their conflitu ents appear to think that the interefl of the State has been consulted—and while the essential and la fling advantage of the people can be more effeftu aliy promoted by encouraging monied men to combine their capitals, and come forward in un dertakings, which, for want of funds, have never yet flourifhed in this country —the modcjl decla mations, and the charitable imputations of no disappointed partizan, will, I trull, have the least effea—unlefs, indeed, the declaimer happens not to be a citizen of Nf w-Jersey.
