for ever, were it not for the wars of foreign
despots; those thieves and car cafe butchers on

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

It is worthy remark, that whilftthe Govern

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

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.

ABSTRACT of EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE
There were three sets of French Mini Hers i

of M. Condorcet, a decree was paired by tin
National Aiicnibly on the 19th June, authorifin]
tiie several departments to burn all the book
eontaining the re gi Iters and titles ot nobility—
which they lay were the only remaining, refug<
ot' tnis ridiculous vanity.
It appears that a coniiderable force proteftct

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

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.

" I am happy to observe that the objeiStions to

it was only dil'pofed of in barter, its bulk and

In Mr. Phllip Freneau's National Gazette,
several lengthy extracts front tlte 44 Letters of
a, Farmer, addrelfed to the Yeomanry of the

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. One cf this
impartial Editor's impartial correspondents in the
laid National Gazette of the sth init. has modejtly
impeached the impartiality of the Editor of
this Gazette for republiihing the Obiervations
on the Farmer's Letters, without having firit
publiflied the Letters! ! 1
The substance of thole Letters is however
contained in the address to the Gerinantown

the said National Gazette into the Gazette of the

which from the beginning has lb fuper-eminent

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.
