It is to be lamented that he is so much altered now ; foi certainly the use to which he nozu applies his abilities, particularly his talent fur intrigue and party-work, evince a dilpoiition hostile to the good of his fellow citizens, and deltru&ive oi their future welfare. As to his being what Arijlides calls him an old meritonous public fer .vant, it is l'uppofed his eminent lervices in Vir ginia, at the time of Tarlton's invaiipn, are al luded to; and as to the crime of An American, iq attacking Mr. J during his ablence, this would not have happened had he been attending ♦lis duty where he ought to be.

From iht (Bojlon) Columbian (.'cntinel- *' T HAVE no manner of doubt, that X the inflexible integrity, and superior abilities of the Vice- President, in addition to his inde pendence of party views and con nexions, are the only faults he has ; and thele, I allure you, are insupera ble in the eyes of his enemies. For xhefe they never will cease to perse cute him : But may our country be wile—and still oppose him to the arts the unprincipled, as the fliield of their liberties. This, he has been undeviatingly for more than twentj years." PARIS, July 18. Speech made the 14th of July, at the inauguration of the firft stone of the column of liberty, on the ruins of the Battile : " On the ruins of the cavern of despotism, the column of Liberty e letfts iifie!t". It will no' be so %afy for tyrants to dettroy our. labors, as it was for citizens to overturn the Baltile. It is due to the Representa tives of the people to lay its founda tion—we fee atnopg thein i hree, who, with us, dared 011 this ground, the cannon of despotism : they swore with us a mortal hatred to the enemies of the people ; they ha.ie kept their oath. Since tyranny ft iII dares to raise its hideous head, let us swear together to give it a death wound. All Kings conspire to ruin the French nation. Let us then swear to detkroy the conspiring Kings. Jt is time to reap the fruit of our work, and tofee the reign of anarchy succeeded by the funthine of law and equality." Where the Ballile stood there was an iuunenfe tenr, brilliantly orna mented, and different coloured (ire works displayed ; an iminenfe group of the sons and daughters of freedom danced and sung 011 the very spot where the excetlWs of misery have for centuries been endured by the vic tims of tyrants ! The king has ordered M. M. Luck ner, Montesquieu, &c. &c. and all the Generals whatever, to refnfeper niiflion to M. Philippe Joseph Louis (the Duke of Orleans) 10 fervein any of their armies. M. Britfot, who has done so much for the Jacobins by vehemently op posing every minitter which they and he had not at leafl contributed to ad vance to public office, has fallen un der the displeasure of his colleagues. A motion was made the other night to erase his name from the books of the Jacobins, and his friends only e vaded the by moving the or der of the day, because it was unwor thy their importance to spend so much timttrpon individuals.

T he French papers mention fre quent desertions from the Autlrian army.—They fay further, that a great mutiny hps broken out among the soldiery of that army; and that it requires one half to keep the otherj in fubjeiftion. A report at Vienna dates, that the Autlrian Minilter at Constantinople had been arretted.— A grant of the liberty of the press, under very moderate retlri<ftions has been made at Stockholm, the capital: of Sweden—the abettors of the King's atlaUination it is thought will be par doned. The States of Holland have determined not to take, openly, an acftivepart in thedifpuies with France —but the withes of the Stadtholderian party are in favor of the Pruliian arms.—The Dutch patriots are much caressed by the Prince of late, being appointed by him to places of emolu ment. A camp is now formed at Soitlons in France. The manifeftoof the Duke of Brunfwick does not ap pear to have produced the etFeifl wifli ed for by every friend to the liber ties of France, a cordial union among all parties for the common defence of the country —on the contrary it ap pears that they are as eager in revil ing and calumniating each other, as if they had no common enemy —It is however expetfled that order will arise out of confution ; one account fays that the Jacobin club can reckon only 45 or 46 members of the National Aflembiy on whom they can depend. A confirmed majority on either tide will prpbably produce a concert of measures, which appears at present to be much wanted. The King of Prussia has published a long manifelto, Hating the reasons which have induced hiin to take up arn>3 against France—these reasons are fubflatitially the fame with those contained in the manifelto ot the Duke of Brunfwick—it is however couched in more elegant and explicit terms, than the latter ; or else that of the Duke has not had jiillice done it in the tranilation.—Theanniverfa ry of ihe French Revolution has been celebrated with great eclat in Ire land and Scotland —among thenume rous patriotic toasts given 011 this oc caftpn, the name of Washington, the father of his country and the triond of mankind, is brought for ward with inoft distinguished honor and refpedt.—Blanchard, ihe cele brated aeronaut, lately performed an serial tour froni the free and imperi al town of Lubeck, in company with a young lady, for the purpose of dis playing the National Flag of France in the upper regions—compleat suc cess crowned the enterprize—This 131 .facft was ann'oumied to the National AHcmbly. it has been reported that a general aiftion h?d taken plate between ihe A ufti iati anil ft ench armies, previous to the failing of ihe Ohio from Brif tol, and thai the latter were victori ous. A vefTel from arrived here, brings accounts that the Spaniards were arming in all their pons. It has been proposed in the Jacobin Club, that a Diclaturate of 21, should fupercede both King and Aliembly,chufe nunifters, appoint generals, and conduct tne war.. It is determined, that the slates of Holland (hall not an active part in the atfairs of TVante.—A iubferrpt-ion i* open in Llngland for the succour of the people of Poland. The King notified the Afleuibjy that the Elector of Cologne, and the Duke of Wirtern berg, were preparing hostilities against France. —The important queition respeCting the DE POSING of the KING, was to be agitated on the 9th of August. The fourth anniversary of French Freedom was celebrated at Paris with great solemnity and magnificence, and without any unfortunate accident happening throughout the day. The procelLon to the Champ de Confederation was very regular and extremely grand. The King arrived on the ground about noon. He was at tended by the Ex-Miniiters and a large body of National Guards, and was received with accla- I mations the people. The following oath was then read aloud, the King, the National All'embly, the Deputies of the Departments, and all the Minilters, Officers, &c. {landing un covered, with their hands raised to Heaven : •* we swear to be faithful to the Nation, the Law, and the King—to maintain with all our power the Conllitution decreed by the National Affemnly and accepted by the King; to protect the individual and preserve his property accord ing to i.iv, : m let that there be a free circula tion of grain throughout the kingdom; to en force, with all our power, the collection of the public revenues, and to remain united to every Frenchman by the bands of brotherly love." 6,790 16 11 dut-HUs The King, the Legislature, and the people, then pronounced aloud, u I swear it." The acclamations which followed were long and re iterated. The Ruffians, in consequence of the warm re ception they met with from the Poles atZallaw, on the 17th June, have made no further progress into the kingdom on that quarter. Had l'ome of.the Polish general officers done their duty ef fe<stuaily, the advantages over the Ruliiwis would lsave been greater. The King has there fore ordered, that Prince Michael Lubomirlki, and General Czariki, who each commanded a brigade, lhould be tried by a court martial. From the motions of the Ruffians, Warsaw, the capital of Poland, seems to be their object. The l£ing therefore, in consequence of the dan ger which threatens that place, instead of join ing as was his intention, the army of the Prince Poniitowlki, his nephew, in Yolhynia, is now anxious only for that in Lithuania. He has in cohfequence ovdeied a csnip to be formed be- Vistula, near Warlaw, to cover that 1 city.—The English papers fay, the King of the French has four chances to run ; he will either be carried off by the Jacobins to Bourdeaux, by ' the Feuillants to Lyons, by Luckner orFayette to either army, or by the HuJans to the German dominions,—Under the fiifl stone of the Pillar of Liberty to be erected 011 the ruins of the Baf tile, a box was 1 placed containing the declara tion of the Rights of Man—the King's picture, and that of the lirft President of the constituent urembly—and of the members of the conftitut |ed powers, some bell-metal money, and some laffignats.—By the latest accounts the Emperor and Empress of Germany were arrived at ! Frankfort preparatory to the I which was to take place the 14th July. Acoounfs from India to the 22d March, fay, that General Meadows had entirely -recovered of his wounds.—Lieutenant George Douglas, of the 75th regiment in India, was calhiered for killing Lieutenant James Burch in a duel.— Twerity-tive Priests, the Englilh papers lay, have been hung by the populace in France. The Glafs-W'orks erected a few yeais lince at Watervlier, well of Al bany, in the state of New-Yoik, hav ing been repaired,are now furnifhed wiih materials for carrying 011 the bufinei's in its utmolt extent. The window-glass there manufactured, is said to be equal to Briiiol. The ingenious John Churchman lias failed from Baltimore for London. Upon a late occasion it was found that the Federal interest in the state of Rhode-lfland, was in a ratio of 500 to one, compared with the Anti-Fede ral— One ps the federal candidates for reprefentntive in Congress, of that (late, having had fifteen hundred votes where his competitor had but thi'ee ! Mr. Bourn, the other candi- a member ofthe present federal house of representatives, it is said, had no competitor whatever. It is the custom in fonie of the Southern States for the cariditates for appointments publicly to folicic the fuffrages of the elet'iors. A correl pondent has observed with pleasure, that in the inltances which have fal len under his cognizance, there does not appear to be a dereliction of any principles on the part of the candi dates, in thole addiefles, which are eilential to the support of a free firm efficient government ; or of thol'c measures which Congress haveadopt ed, in carrying the constitution of the United States into effect.-"-This is not only honorary to the judgment of the candidates,but highly so to the good fen re of the people. Those w!io lay that an excise does not dtmin'ijh the confuuiptioii of fpi -1 ituous. liquors, may as well affirm thai the lels money tlieic is to pur chase, the greater the quantity that will be bought. But i iie number of Hills has encreafed— this is owing to various causes ; the number of peo ple has encreafed—the impoitation and confequem consumption offoreign Ipints has Icllened—the manufacture of gin and other spirits in the coun try, owing to the encouragement held out in the excise law, is become an objetft of great attention—and there is reason to luppofe, that in conl'e quence of thi< encouragement, the qua lity of the liquors diltilled in the United States, will continually im prove, till iu a fliort time the exports of spirits, already considerable, will become a source of immenl/: profit to the country. " It gives us great pleasure (fays a Boflon paper) to tind that the patriotic Jcjfc'fon has become the objedt of censure, as it will have a happy tendency to open the eyes of the people, to iee the itiides of certain men in power, who are wiftiing to turn every ltaunch republican out of office, who has discerning to ken their arbitrary meafiires, and honesty fufficient to reveal them." From fevcral symptoms it appears that the old republican spirit of America is returning in full force upon thoje parts* of the United States where it had been rather obfeured for some time past by the arts of ariftocratical sophistry. How the u Gazette of the United States" will be af fected by this change, a short time will deter mine. Some think the Printer will be served much in the fame manner as the fox served his and vermin—he is said to have funk him felf gradually into a pool of water, with a wisp of Itraw in his role, the vermin all the while crawling up as the fox immersed his car case, till at length Revnard gave them the dodge, and left them to fhift for themselves ! A'at, Gaz. * This it is Jupfofed refers to thefourcajlcrnJlatcs. —It is truly laughable to talk about the returning oj repub/icanijm upon those invaiiably republican Jlates. — Republican principles peopled the once howling wil dernejs oj that part oj America—Republican Joundati on j in the fjlabhjhfnevt of free schools, accejjiole to all on termj of peileti equality ; in the wije p/ovi /ion Jor the clergy ; in making the highejl pojls in the government attainable by vv tue and abiliiies whatever its Jituatiunj as has been, and is injlanccd in a thoujand particulars in the jrce, independent and equal re presentation oj the people—and in many other things which might be mentioned, arcJvfftcient to evince that at no period in the hi/lory oj thoje Jlatcs fmcc the jiijt Jcttlcment oj the country, has the jacred fire of republic canifm ceajtd to blaze with its nativeJplendor and dig nity„—But it happens that the people oj those jlates are warm Jupportcrs of our federal it-publican govern ment — hence they have been mereHefslyjligmat\zed by the junto—A junto that will never admit that a govern. ment,oi its adminiflration can begood, or republican, which they have not the jupreme di red ion oj. A gentleman from theJ'outhward, who lately made a tour through the caflem Jlates, being ajked if he Jaw a ny republicans there ? replied that he had rotjeen any other dejcription oj people- he added, they are all good f {publicans, good friends'to government; univcrJaL peace and tranquility prevail among them, and every man appears to be happy in minding his own bufnej. Other accounts fully corroborate the above—cn i>fg njcant remndrt of the in furgent Jpirit maypoffibl) ex ijt m a particular town ; but the ebullitions oj rit in certain papers devoted to the worjl of causes, are a j nothing when opposed to the generalfcfe of the peo pie.
