The Sierra Leona Company have ju ft received dispatches from this new fettleinent, of a molt agreeable na ture, and which are a direct contra diction to foule unfavorable reports which have lately been in circulation The settlers from England were arrived in perfect good health, and were well received by the natives— lo in uch so, that one of the molt pow erful kings in the neighborhood had made propolals to liveamongft them. The country had been surveyed, and was found in general well Suited for the produce of coffee and cotton, and fonie parts for sugar ; and there is every reason to hope and believe, from the account received, that the Settlement will answer the end pro posed by those who have embarked in the undertaking—which is to pro mote the civilization, as well as com merce, of Africa The Chevalier de Friere, the Por rnguefe Charge des Affairs at this court, will set off next month for New-York, where he is charged from the court of Lisbon as Envoy. The town of Zoul in France, the birth place of Gouvion, has publicly affordid tjiis expreflion of regret up on his death. The Society of " Friends to the Ccnltitution," by the organ of the Mayor, one of their members, deli vered, in a public fitting, an eulogi \im upon the departed General. The Municipal Body, the Council Gene ral of the Community, and the Nati onal Guard, were alio prefcnt at a foleinn I'ei viee in the parish church of St. Stephen on tbeoccafion.

A mausoleum has been ereifled, de corated with the emblems of war and of public grief, upon which infcrip lions express the hiltory of his life, the merits of his character, and the circumrtances of his death. Such is one part of the honors paid by France to the General who has firft fallen in the defence of her li berties. The following law cafe was tried before Lord Kenyon on Monday last : —This was an action brought by La dy Elizabeth Lamben, against -the Defendant, Mr. Tatterfall, who was a dealer in horses, and also a propri etor of the morning Port, for a gross and fcandaious libel contained in dif ferent paragraphs of that paper, and charging her with unchaftity, by eloping with her footman. This young lady was unmarried, and was only about nineteen yeais of age. She was with her mother at South ampton at the time these fcandaious paragraphs were publiflied, and a yotig lady poffelfing the highest ad complifliments. . After Lord Kenyon had addrefled the Jury, they retired about an hour, and returned with a verdiift for the Plaintiff——Four Thousand Pounds Damages, A new incident in the forgery of a will has lately occurred, which would hare done honour to the brilliant invention of a Barrington—the trick of putting and guiding a pen in the dead man's hand, was not fufficient to fatisfv the conscience of the parties—it became neceflary absolutely to swear, that when the will was wit re.Ted, they saw life in him—and a live fly was actually put into the mouth of the corpse in order that they miight fafely swear to the fact.

Paris is now quite quiet. Quiet it would be for ever, were it not for the wars of foreign despots; those thieves and car cafe butchers on the borders ! the-ne w conilitution of the French is, and all created nature may Wei's Gbd for it, altogether pacific. It would fruitrate all war abroad, as /t has already fruftrated all law liti gations at home. Mr. Burke indeed said, 44 the constitution was litigious." liut he will fay so no more. For it is not true. Out of 8000 causes, before the tribunals at Paris, above 6yoo are fettled, if not amicably, at least equi tably and unexpenfively, by the enacted preli minary arbitration. (Bureau de Conciliation.)— And as to the exifling war with the animal the King of Hungary, as he is called, he, if any such lie tiling there be, who (hall impute it to the French, will be just as wife and as credited, as the fufpe&ed Irilhman was, who vapoured about a breach of the peace, when Lord iSerke- Jey shot a highwayman upon Hounflow Heath.

BOSTON, September I It is worthy remark, that whilftthe Govern ment of the United States, and its administra tors, are themes of admiration and applause to tiie celebrated Mr. Paine, Mr. Fox, and many other friends to the Rights tf Man, in the French and BritiTi Legislatures; they are i'ubjafts of daily abu'e to anonymous scribblers, and fac tious partizins, in the United States. It would seem that the advocates of tyranny, had bribed a set of miscreants in Franie and America, to vilify the only legitimate Reprefeotative Go vernments in the world ! But the charge is certainly an imputation Vn their judgment, in chuliug f'uch weak and wctnjyUnt agents.

N EW-YORK, September 7. Yesterday pafl'ed through this city, on their way to Fort-Pitt, a company of about 70 men, commanded by Capt. Eaton, and railed by the state of Vermont. However trifling the acquisition of this state might have been considered by some previous to her union with the United States, we have now a just right to esteem her a valuable member; for, since that period, we do not find that (he has been remiss even in punttillios, and to her cre dit it may be said, at this time, flie has produced a set of men, perhaps unequalled by any of her fitter states. They, from appcarance, are all under thirty; and one would imagine that an army compofsd entirely of such men, would itrike terror in the hearts of the most blood thirsty of the aborigines of America, however fuccefsful they might have been in former cam paigns.

On motioi of M.

It appears that a coniiderable force proteftct t!ie Timilleries on the 20th of June, iuthcien ;o have triumphed over the multitude; but re fpect for the lives of their fellow citizens indue .'d government to forbear. The Queen diitri juted ribbons and May-branches with a conde cenfion that drew from the multitude the ut 110 ft refpett. The scene of confufion continuec ill 9 o'clock at night, and during the five hour: t laited, not lei's than 40,000 armed men, wo iien and children, pal Ted thro' the royal apart nents. In all thiu confufion, though so man) >f the lowed and most indigent persons of Pari: vere in the palace, the most trifling article wa: lot removed from its place.—ln M. la Fayette': etter to the National AfTembly, in which he de lounces the club of the Jacobins, he gives thi: xtraordinary piece of information, viz.

In addition to these, the Nationa Guards amount to 92,50c —of which there arc vith Luckner 21 poo, and with Fayette 22,000 In the proceedings ot the National Allembl) if the 2d July, we find certain journals com Gained of as falle and libellous. M. Maranl aid they regarded no bounds, and equally vio ated law and truth—they were alike destitute f honor and decency, and adhered to the part) v'hich they willied to serve, at the expence oi very other consideration. M. D'Averhoult lenonnced those journals, which were writter >y Messrs. Brifibt and Condorcet, who employee hemfelves every day in writing hbels agamii heir colleagues. The papers on the continent talk of negoci ttions relpeifting French affairs —that couriers aid meifengers arc daily palling from one Court o another, dtc. The French accounts mention frequent de ertions from the Auftrians—the latter balance ;iefe accounts by faying great delertions are laily taking place from the French army. We hear that the insurgent negroes at Hifpa niola, have lately defeated a body oi French] troops, under the command of M.Bianchelande; several valuable French officers 101 l their iives, it is asserted, on this occasion. In the Missouri, from Bourdeaux, came pas sengers—Mr. Franklin Wharton, Mr. John Allen, and Mr. Brian. \ The lhip Conne&icut, Cr.pt. Phipps, hasbro't 330 passengers from Londonderry—the Alexan der, from Killabegs, 240 —and the Canton, Capt. Magee, from Newry, 200—all in good health. Xn the Britannia, Martin, arrived at New- ; York on Sunday lalt, from Glasgow, came 57 passengers. Capt. Martin had 37 days passage, and has brought Glasgow newlpapers to the ift August. Mr. John Mason, foil of the late Rev. Doctor Mason, of N.York, arrived in tie above Ihip. French accounts by the above are subsequent to those already publilhed, viz. July 19. This day we have the counter lift of a Ministry designed by the Jacobins; that is M. Servan, M. Roland, artd M. Claviere, to come back to office and to be joined by M. Mag nier, M. Grouvelle, and M. Louvet. This is, however, denied by themselves and their friends in a very obstinate way j and the truth is, that the convulsion remains unabated. This will, perhaps, determine it-j far the question of M. La Fayette copies on in the afiembly, and I have no doubt but the Jacobins will carry tome resolutions, in which cafe a Jacobin Ministry will be appointed, and this will indnce the di rectory of the Department, as well as M. La Fayette, and many others, to resign. There is no profpeft of a middle course, and what this arrangement is likely to produce I dread to tonje&ure. Extract oj * letter from Sujfex county, Nm-Jtrfcy.

In Mr. Phllip Freneau's National Gazette, several lengthy extracts front tlte 44 Letters of a, Farmer, addrelfed to the Yeomanry of the United Slates," have been publiflied. The «ame Mr. Philip Frkneau was requejled to re ;)ubli£h from tne Pennjylvania Gazette, printed by Mejjn. hall and Sellers, 4< Observations of a Freeman" on those letters, or such extratts from those observations as might be convenient to him—this truly impartial Editor has not com plied with this reafonabie requell—but he hay publiflied nearly a column of remarks 011 thole Obiervations of the Freeman.

COMMUNICATIONS. The men who impute all manner of folly and corruption to the servants of the people, who I tell us how much they hate the vites of a court I and how heartily they despise the tools of office, seem to think that their own purity bears pro portion to the turpitude and foulnefs of the I characters they draw. In private life, it is thought proper to exercise a little charity in fa vor even of the worst men : but if we Jfhould hunt for the faults of our neighbors, and, as soon as we have found a pin hole in their fame, we Ihould go to work to enlarge it—if we should catch every wind of suspicion that blows over them, and call it proof, what would be said of our conduct ? We should be deemed pests in lo ciety. Yet there are writers who pursue this method in regard to government, and who pre tend to great merit for doing so. <i A house divided against itfelf cannot stand." When one servant of the public intrigues and makes parties against the proceedings of ano ther, there will be a want of order in the ad ministration, and the highest degree of inlectiri ty against the attacks of those who would tear the government down to the very foundation stones. Yet the party writers reprelent thole who hold the offices of government, as combin ed in a plot against the people. The cafe there fore stands thus—if they happen not to be well agreed, their measures, engendered in discord, will come to nothing—and if they be well a greed, it is a proof of a confpii acy against li berty. If it were the business 6f the political sphere to keep forever revolving, as our globe does, we have men among us who might deserve the name of very clever, because they do all they can to hinder its still. But when the people ri(k life and property for the fake of the inestimable privilege of framing a free govern ment for themselves and their posterity, their toils and dangers are relieved by the hope that they (hall finally prevail and live in peace and security. No sooner have they gained their objedt, than men who abhor a state of tranqui lity, and who expe<ft to get power and office by disturbing it, tell them that their own laws are despotic, and their fubmiflion to their own go vernment is owing to the decline of their for mer high spirit of liberty. If we are to fight to set up a government, and th«n to fight to over turn it, we may have to fight for a time in a state of anarchy, till a defpotilm shall be eftab liflied to keep the peace. Those unquiet parti zans who try to keep the world in a bustle, may poflibly have the love of liberty in their hearts, but they will not lend much alliitance to the work qJT ere&ing her temple.
