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

Arijlides calls him an old meritonous public fer

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.

A correspondent from the weilern

people are generally anxious to take
out licences for their Hills during the

there is a person authorised to grant
them, owing to the dilliculty of exe

ABSTRACT 0/ EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
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 !

—It is truly laughable to talk about the returning

— Republican principles peopled the once howling wil

A gentleman from theJ'outhward, who lately made a
