fce has done by blending with the fact, the Aid'- den, though natural comments of an honefl indignation. But the original itfelf, in its true size and (hape, without the help of the least ex-| aggeration, is to the moral eye a deformed and hideous monster. " Say, Ariftides! did the character to whom voui are so partial, imitate, in this cafe., the sublime virtue of that venerable Athenian, whofc namel you have alTumed—did he difi'uade his country-! men from adopting a propolition, becaule tho' "■ nothing could be more advantageous, nothing could be more unjuftDid he not rather advise them to do what was both difadvantageoui aid vtijti/1 ? May he not, as a public man, discard all appiehenfioa of ojiracifm, for being the fuperla-' lively jufit CATULLUS. P. S. Some additional observations are re served for another paper. j Philadelphia, Sept. 19. the latest INTELLIGENCE from FRANCE. Friday last th? (hip Ohio, Capt. Kemp,arrived at New-York iti Jo days from Bristol. By this veiTel London papers are received to the I fth August. We have room only for an abflrafl: of the intereliing information they contain. Augvjl I. The President of the National Alfembly informed that body that he had re ceived by poll the declaration ilTued in the name of the Duke of Brunfwick.—The Aflembly de creed by acclamation, " That if the laws of war are not ftrietly observed, in regard to all Frenchmen taken with arms in their hands, all the officers belonging to the enemy, who may be made prisoners, shall experience a fnnilar treatment, whatever may be their rank, titles or diftinftions." A letter was fentby the King to the Aflembly, relative to the Manifefto—in which he fays that it exhibits nothing that can be considered as a proof of its authenticity. He calls on the na tion to be united—and profeffes in the warmest terms his determination to support the C.onfti tution, Independence and Liberty of France. — This letter being read in the AfTembly, a mo tion was made that it should be printed and sent to the 83 departments. On this motion, the previous question was called.— u M. Iznaid, having with difficulty obtained a hearing, said that the Kind's letter contained only a heap of falfhoods." The proposal of printing the letter was rejected. Augvjl 4. The Envoys of the Commonalty of Paris, with M. Petion at their head, appeared at the bar, and M. Petion demanded in the name of the 48 fe&ions, that the King should be ex eluded from the Throne, and that the manage ment of affairs during the interregnum, should be entrusted to responsible Ministers, until the of a new King in a National Conven tion—-M. Petion said the King has always shewn himfelf an enimy to the people, an enemy to the laws, and an enemi to France. This excited a violent agitation in the Aflembly. Several members dei]red to be heard, but the tumult rendered it impossible, and the President put an end to the fitting without any vote being come to upon it. The Aflembly have passed a decree, in which fueh temptations are thrown out to induce the Auftrians and PrufTians to desert their colours, as it is thought will desolate their armies as soon as they pitch their tents in France.-—The Duke of Brunfwick was expected to march on or be fore the firft of August.—A letter from Paris, dated 4th Aug. in an English paper, has |his palTage— u I will not fay that in this fever of republicanism, the King may riot be declared to have forfeited his crown ; but I am sure that republicanism will not endure for a week. 1 hope, however, that they will avoid the dread ful evil of suspending the King, as I am sure the fame effect would disband their army."— Such was the state of things on the 4th August. About the 28th July the Auftrians made ar. attack on the French army at Maulde—the French advance Guard consisting of 6000 men was attacked by 10,000 ; the Auftrians yielded the field—they loft 200 men, and great part of their baggage— and had it not been for the treachery of two Colonels who deserted, the vi&ory of the French would have been complete. M. La Fayette was well, at the head of his ar my the 28th July. M. Luckner in a letter to the National AfTem bly, has expressly denied that he ever acculed M. La Fayette of an intention to march against Paris. M. La Fayette in another letter fays, that such an accusation u is not true" M. Montefquiou, commander of pne of the French armies on the Frontiers, has resigned.— M. Luckner, while at Paris, gave a most de grading account of the grand armies of France in refpeft to their numbers and equipments. — The King of Denmark being invited by the Kings of Hungary and Pruflia to join the confe deracy again# France, has declined to accept of the invitation. Among other observation in his answer, he r ays, u Denmark has acknow ledged, as well as the dcccafed Emperor of the King of Pruflia, the confHtution of France, since Louis XVlth. has solemnly avowed it."— The celebrated Paul Jones, it is laid, died in the utmost poverty—it has been conje&urec that this was owing to his favoring the anti revolution party in Paris. The New-Brunfwick Gazette fays, notwith standing the many discouraging accounts so fre quently publllhed from the "VVeftward, the re cusing business goes on very well. It is con jectured by some that peace will overtake us sooner than many imagine. In the fli'p Amelia, Hill, from London, ar rived John Penn, E r q. and his Lady; Andrew Allen, Esq. with his four daughters and three sons; together with the domestics of both fami lies making 24 paflengers. TI eDafliwood Packet from England brought a Diploma from the University of Edinburgh, conferring the Degree of Doctor of Laws on the Hon. John Jay, Chief Justice of tlie United States. / ctrreffmdthl observes, that lie" conceives it /would be highly becoming in the people of the I United State*:, to join as with one voice, in t a:iy of thanksgiving tot/re Supreme , for the mer cies he has so abundantly bellowed on them, of peace and general frefperity ; and to implore, that he may avert the evils which are meditated iytht Despots of Europe, against their fellow men, of the French and Pohjli nations, and that these pefpots and all mankind, may be convinced in Uae time, of their folly and wickedness.
