July 27. A-violent remedy is talked of for the indispo sition of the Queen of Portugal. This is the leading her Miijefty into a temporary building eretted in a large piece of water, into which flic is to fink immediately upon her entrance, and to be taken out by persons provided for tha purpose. Asfaft as the French army under Luckner, and that lately commanded by Fayette, retire, the Auftrians press on to take their ground, and are now forcing their route, by Bavav, towards the interior part of the kingdom. The Elector of Saxony is laid to have joined the league against France, and furnifhes the al lied powers with 24,000 auxiliaries. The Duke of Brunfwick has iflued a procla mation, forbidding, on pain of death, every pruflian from entering the camp of the French emigrants, and every French emigrant from entering the Pruflian camp. The Chevalier de Nauldes, either not having heard of the procla mation, or imagining that the penalties would not be rigorouily inflided, attempted to enter the Pruflian camp, and was fliot dead by the centinel. Count d'Egmont is to command the right wing of the army of the Princes, but it is not resolved that this army shall ast at all. A warrant has just received the royal signa ture, for from the Treafu y the sum of 20001. to the Trustees of the Protestant Dillent ing meeting house at Fjirmingham, as a full compensation for the lofTes and damages sustain ed by the deftruftion of that edifice during the late riots there. Saturday, an officcr arrived at the Admiralty Office with letters from Lord Hood in the grand fleet, which were dated ofFUfhant, the 16th inft where the fleet was then lying, and all well. Tiit camp at BagiTiot, under the command of the Duke of Richmond, is now formed, and the different regiments are arriving daily. The King goes occafionallv ; the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Gordon, Lady Susan, and several persons of fafliion, are now at the camp.

The sublime Porte has established a Privy Council with juriidi<stion in all politcal matters, without which the Grand Vizier, can not a<st. Despotism is thus some what fliaken even in he favorite feat. RICHMOND, September 5. We are credibly informed that about 100 In dians lately made an attack on Galliopolis, a French settlement on the Ohio, opposite to the mouth of t ; ie Great Kanahwa, which continued •for some time. The Indians, after destroying the Handing corn, killing four or five, and do ing other mifchief, retreated.—About the fame time two young women, named Morris, of Kan; va country, were killed. iALTIMORE, September 7. M. lerlin, at the Tribune of the Jacobins, in Pat s, made use of the following exprelfion ; " Is * ere not one worthy citizen to be found, w i" T' all pkirrgc a Porriartf into La Fayette's Body ROVIDENCE, Sept. 1 O Wednesday last the Bridge in the centre of this town was finifhed. The completion of w kof so much elegance and public utility .v lought worthy of public notice, and was ict ingly celebrated on the day following. Tac artered military companies, under the com nd of Cols. Tillinghaft and Whipple, pa rades n the Bridge a little before noon. At twelv'i o'clock fifteen cannon were discharged upon t .e Br dge, which was adorned with an tqu#l» umber of flags, and several manual firings "ere . lib performed. The military companies then e .corted his Excellency the Governor, and 1 large number of reipeftable citizens, with the inafter-bu lder and mechanics of the Bridge, to I'cderal-Hill, where, having partaken of a • old collation, the discharge of cannon echoed! t» toasts : lis Bridge is built on the model of that which connects Boston and Charlelton. Though much inferior to that in length, it is inferior to none in ftrengthard beauty. It is 120 feet long, having a draw 22 feet. It is 56 feet wide, vith chinese fence at the Jides, and palifadqed 8 feet from each fide. It is lighted by 6 lamps, which were confti u<sted by Major Burrill, of this towr*, and are suspended 011 polls, whose; golden tops will long witness the taste and ge nerosity of tliofe young gentlemen at whose ex pence they were gilt. This very neceflary piece of work has been executed by Mr. Whiting, of Norwich, under the agency of John Dorrance, Esq. in the course of a few mouths, much to the Satisfaction of the public. We are informed that Mr. Whiting is appli ed to refpe&ing the Bridge to be erected from West-Boston to Cambridge. NEWPORT, (R. I.) Sept. 3. On Friday morning last, this town fultained a very heavy loss by the death of Mr. Daniel Rogers, in the 40th year of his age. As a merchant and man of business, enter prise, industry and pun&uality marked his con duct ; in his temper and disposition he was hu mane and benevolent, and in his manners affa ble and polite; as a hulband, father, brother, friend and mailer, few perhaps excelled him : itfrfe virtues soon gained him general esteem, and induced the freemen of the town, in April last, to call him forth for one of their represen tatives to the General Aflembly, and at their lite choice to re-eJect him to fit in the Goober session. The anxiety and concern for his recovery, apparent on every countenance, during a long a-'d fe\ ere illness, demopftrated the fen'ibilitv o nis fellow-citizens, and the part they (hared ii his lufferings ; as did the great number of si! ranks and denominations, paying the lafi tibute to his memory, by their attendance at hs funeral, on yesterday evening, a i-'cover how fucerely they lament his untimely exit. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. TO ARISTIDES. THOUGH thcie would be no great hazard of mistake in inferring the writer of the paper under the signature of Arijlides from " the appro priate and prominent features" which chara&erife theftyleof that paper; yet I forbear to imitate the example which has been set, with too little de corum, by naming or defciibing the supposed author. The similitude of ilyle,or any other cir cumstance merely probable, is too flight a founda tion for so improper a procedure. Peculiar circumltances which it is not neceflary ' 10 explain, uniting with the conjrfture which is ' indulged refpecling the real Anjlidcs, lead to a change of the original party to the charges. The difculFion will be taken up and pursued hy one r who is willing to be responsible for the allegations he shall make, and who consequently will not re fufe to be known,"on proper terms, to the officer concerned. It is however not meant to invite en quiry on that head. It is mod advisable that none should be made. For any public purpose, none will be vequifite. For any personal one, none will be proper. What shall be said, will merely to public conduit, and will be supported by proof and argument. Why then, it may he asked, the intimation of a willingness to be known, if required ? The an. Iwer is, merely to put an end to the epithets " cowardlv afTaflin," 11 finking in the dark," and other tropes and figures of a similar nature. Some rhetoric rr.av be spoiled, but the elucidation of truth will be promoted. It occurs at once to an observant reader, that Arijiides partes over in total silence, the leadiug ar ticle of charge brought by the American against Mr. Jefferfon —namely, That be is the injlitutor and patron of a certain Gazette ptlblifhed tn this city, the object and tendency of which ate to vilify and depreciate the government of the United States, to misrepresent and traducethe administra tion of it, except in the (ingle department of which that gentleman is the head ; implicating in the most virulent censure the majorities of both houses of Congress, the heads both of the treaitriy and war departments, and sparing not even the Chief Magiflrate himfelf; that in the iupport ot this paper, thus hostile to the government, in the administra tion of which he holds so important a trull, he has not scrupled to apply the money of that very go vernment; departing by this conduct from the rules of official piopriety and obligation, and from the duty of a and patriotic citizen. This is the leading and main charge which has been brought by the American againll Mr.Jefferfon, which he supports in several ways. lft. By dirett proof of an official connexion between the Secretary of State and the Editor of the National Gazette—coeval with, or rather an tecedent to the jirjl efidblijhment of that paper. 2d. Bv the fuggeftiori of his being opposed to the present govei nment of the United Statrs, while it was under the consideration of the people. 3d. By the suggestion ot his being opposed to the principal mealures which have been adopted in the courfc of its adminiflration, particularly those relating to the finances. ! The obje£t of the above recapitulation is to (hew 1 the true original ttate of the question; in order that it may be clearly seen ho%v entirel) Arijiides, in his defencc, loses fight of the principal point, and contents himfelf with an indirect endeavor to involve it in uncertainty, by disputing or denying some positions which form only the collateral evi- dencc. It will now remain to fee how the charges of the American have been and can be supported. As to the connexion between the Secretary of State and the Editor of the National Gazette, nei -1 her of the following fa&s can or will be disputed. I f any of them should be denied, it will be proved beyond the pofiibility of doubt. Ift. That the Editor of the National Gazette is a Cletk in the department of State for foreign lan guages, and as such, receives a salary of two hun dred and fifty dollars a year. 2d. That he became so antecedent to the eflab lifhment of his Gazette, having actually received his fa! arv from the 17th August, 1791, and not having publifhcd the fir ft number of his paper r«ll the 31ft of O&ober following. 3d. That at the time he became so, there was another ch.ara&er, a Clerk in the fame depart ment, who undcrftood the French language; and that the Editor of the National Gazette is a trans lator of that language only. 4th. That the appointment was not made under any Ipecial provision, marking out a particular Clerk (hip of the kind, its duties, or its emolu ments ; but under a general authority to appoint Clerks, and allow them salaries, not exceeding the average of 500 dollars to each. sth. That the Editor of the National Gazette, immediately preceding the eftablilhment of thar papei, was the fuperintendant or conductor of a paper belonging to Childs & Swaine, printed at New-York. These are the facts : The conclusion is irrefifta ble. The ferret intentions of men being in the repofitorics of their owrt breasts, it rarely happens, and is therefore not to be expe&ed, that direst and pofiiive proof of them can be adduced. Presumptive fa&sand circumstances must afford the evidence ; and when these are fufificiently strong they ought to decide. We find the head of a department taking the Ed itov of a Gazette into his employment,as a clerk, w:ih a stated (aiary—not for any special purpose, which could not have been accompltfhed other wile ; for he had, at the time, in his department, a clctk Who was capable of performing the very service required, and could without difficulty have procured others fnnilarly qualified ; nor from any particular neceflity arising from a too limited allowance, or any other cause ; for he had it in his power to allow an adequate compcnfation to a character who might have been regularly attach ed to the department. The verv exiitence of such a connexion, then, is alone a fufficient foundation for believing, that thedefign of ihe arrangement was to secure an in fluence over the paper, the Editor of which was so employed. But the circumflances which attend , t the nature of it beyond a doubt. That which has beenjuft mentioned, namely,there hav j ing been prcvioufly a clerk in the department qua lified to render the service, is a weighty one. The coming of a new pi inter, from another State to in 123 ftitute a Jiew paper—his having bfcen appointed? clerk in the department prior to his removal t this city—his having been compenfaied before 1: was even present, to latisly the appearance of ren dering service ; these circumftanccs give a pon. and energy to the language of the tranfadion whia render if unequivocal.—There perhaps never w. a more flimfy covering for the pensioning of printer. Some ostensible ground for giving him the public money was necessary to be contrive.l— the cleikfhip of foreign languages was deemed, plausible pretext—But no man acquainted with I human nature, or with the ordinary wiles O' political intrigue, can be deceived by it. The medium of negociation between the Secre [ i-ary of State and Mr. Freneau, in order to the in . dilution of his paper, is known, and documents i are poflVflcd which ascertain the person ; but thev arc. at piofent withheld, f»om considerations of a particular nature.—These are the more readily yielded to ; because the ta£ts, which have been stated, render it unnecessary to exiiibit them.— Those fa&s prove to the fatisfaefcion of every im partial mind, that Mr. JefYerfon is the Institu tor and Patron of the National Gazette. As to the complexion and tendency of that Ga zette, a reference to itfelf is fuflicient. No man who loves the government, or is a friend to the public tranquillity, but must reprobate it as an in cendiary and pernicious publication, and condemn the auspices under which it is supported. In another paper, the charges which have occa sioned so much umbrage to Ariflxd.cs, will be more corre&ly stated and enforced. The preciie terms |of the advice which was given by Mr. Jefferfon to Congress, refpefting the transfer of the French debt to a Company of Hollanders, will be recited. This chara&eriftic trait in the political princi ples of that gentleman, will be submitted to the honest feelings not only of the great body of the yeomanry, to whom such affe&ed appeals are so often made,but to honest men of whatsoever clafsor condition. CAT ITLUS.l T LUS. Philadelphia, Sept. 15. By the latest accounts from the Westward it appears that the Indies discover a temper di rectly the reverie of pacific—that they have facrificed Col. Hardin and Major Trueman ap pears to be too true. That they have incelT antly committed depredations on the frontiers —that within the bounds of the State of Ken tuckcy alone between forty and fifty persons have been killed or made prisoners since last spring ; and a party of 18 near Fort Jefferfon who were making hay, were lately attacked— one only escaped—and four that were prisoners were burnt by the Shawanefe. By accounts from Albany it appears that the various plans of Bridges and Canals in contem plation by the citizens in that part of the State of New-York, are in a train of prosecution.— The recent examinations of the rivers, See. have ascertained that the proje&ed improve ments in the interior navigation is much more pra&icable than was ever conceived of. Tuesday last a young man was committed to the g£iol of this city, on suspicion of hisftaving been concerned in the murder of Elizabeth Reeve. The State Gazette of Georgia, printed at Augusta the 25th August, fays, that\V. A. Bowles was hanged ac Madrid the 7th June,at the com mon place of execution. This is probably pre mature, as accounts of Bowles' being at Cadiz fublequent to the 7th June, have been published. By a public communication from Governor Telfair, to the Representatives in Congress of the State of Georgia, it appears that it will re quire One Million of Dollars to be afiumed on' account of that State, to cover its State Debts. On Friday the 17th August, a fire broke out in Halifax, Nova-Scotia, which consumed fix tenements and the Ordnance Laboratory before it could be got under.

The publication of 41 the private Life of Ben jamin Franklin, Esq." is begun in London—it appears to be from the Doctor's own notes, and begins thus— " My Dear Son, " I have lately amused myfelf with colle&ing some little Anecdotes of our Family, like." Wednesday the sth instant was celebrated at Providence, the anniversary Commencement of Rhode-Island College. The proceifipn, at half past ten o'clock, moved from College-Hall to the Eaptift Meeting-house, where, after an in troductory prayer by the Rev.

ABSTRACT cf EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE, Marshal Luckner was in Paris tlie 17th July —the public mind was greatly agitated in ac counting for the motives of his heing there.— T ie late apparent reconciliation of parties in the National AlTembly turns out a temporary oufinefs, as violent debates {till take place, and tactions still diftraft the public councils.—M. Luckner left Paris about the 20th July—he in much dilTatisfied with the decree which inter dicts petitions from Generals of the armies.— The decree, which declares the country to 1« in danger, has been published with great cere mony in all parts of the city—and books were opened in which great numbers of citizens en rolled their names.—-The Ailenibly have de creed that the army lhall be reinforced, jo as to make it confjft of 452, qoo men.—M. Dufaillant the rebel ariilocrat and several of his friends and followers have been cut to pieces, the per* Tons legally authorized not being able to prevent their being maifacred; the forts of Banner Sc Jaies are. reduced to afhes.—Oll M. Dufaillant were found papers which disclose an immense plot a gainst the Conftituticn ; by far the most exten sive of any attempted against it. M. Dufaillant in these papers is named Generalifftmo of the South, in which the counter-revolution was to commence—copies of these papers were read in the AlTembly, by which it appeared that M. Dufaillant and a Count de Combet were agents to the French Princes, that the Catholics were to rife against the Protestants, the Royalists who are for the old monarchy againlt the Patriots* &:c.—The Cure de Bannes was facrificed by M. Dufaillant and his troops. —Long and loud debates ensued on reading these papers, and it was decreed that fifty-feven persons were guilty of high treason.—Since the death of Dufaillant quietness is restored to the South of France — The anniversary of the French revolution was celebrated by the patriotic locieties in London. —Accounts are received from Lord Cornwal lis to the fourth of March, in which he speaks in high terms of the officers and soldiers of his army—but makes, no mention of the death of Gen. Meadows.—The Amsterdam Gazette re presents the partition of Poland as a matter fix ed on—That notwithstanding the efforts of the nation, the unhappy fate of that country leems to be at length decided—Thus a people which had set an example to the civilized world, by eftablilhing a government which has railed the human species, long deprefled and humiliated by the iron hand of feudal despotism, to the rank ailigned them in the original constitution of na ture, are again to be made the sport of ambiti on, the miserable slaves of arbitrary power and lordly domination—That the righteous gover nor of the universe may blast the designs of the despots of the earth, and yet interpose that pow er which is omnipotent to save, in favor of Po land, mull be the ardent prayer of all good pa triots.—The English army nnder Lord Corn wallis is now in pofTeflion of Hyder Ally's su perb Tomb, and an elegant palace near Serin' gapatani—The Tomb is converted by the Bri tish General into an *holpital for the sick and wounded of his arm v.
