Philadelphia, Od. 13. By the Jhip Diana, Capt. Goodwin, ivho arrived at Bojion on the 4th in 35 dayi from BriJlol, the following intcllizence is received. •5 PARIS, August 1 J M MERLIN announced to the As . fembly, that the Pruftian and Austrian armies had entered the de partments of Moselle, and that they had made thcmffcfves matters of the a<lvanced pods of Sierck and Rode mack. This circuinftance, he added, ought uot to intimidate the French nation, but it ought to arouse thein so as 10 adopt a very important tnciafure : He therefore moved, " That the relati ons, the wives, and the children of the etnigrants, should, wiih Louis XVI. be reserved as guarantees for the events of the war." It was accordingly resolved by the Aflemb'iy, that they (hould be detain ed as hollages within the limits of their refpe&ive municipalities. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, August 18. M. Cabot read a letter from Mau beuge, from which it appeared that the foldicrs approved of the proceed ings of tiie Assembly, and thac they bad refitted the attempts made by Dillon, Lauieth, and La Noue, to ex cite them to oppose tiie Aliembly.— To the infinuacions of those Generals they replied, " that their true poin of rallying was, and always wouli be, the National Aflembly, and tha they considered Louis XVI. as a per juved wretch and a traitor !"—" M Lameth in vain attempted (said th< writer of the letter) to gain over ; few regiments. In vain did he lei them that 15,00® Auftrians were rea dy to fall upon tliem. The troop flew to arms, and ordered their inuli to play Ca ira !!" Sunday, Auguit 19. The AHembly were occupied for alnioft two hours in reading letters and addrefles, all approving of the decree for suspending the King. The Departinetu-of Guai c'e inform ed the Aflembly, thru they had caused the refractory Prftfts to be,exported, and that tbeyoonfideredthia measure as tending...tarty much to preferre public tranquility. The Aflembly then ordered the Committee of Legislation to prepare the plan of a decree for transporting all the refractory priests out of the kingdom. Some private letters from Marshal Luckner were read, which announced that he had again taken the oath of fidelity, and profefled his attachment to the public eaufe. In a paragraph of one of these letters, the Marflial exprefl'es himfelf thus : " Though the Executive Power be suspended, I hope I {hall not be or dered to retire. Had 1 not been or dered to withdraw from Courtray, I would, in a little tiqie, have rettor ed liberty to the Belgians." LA FAYETTE ACCUSED. Some soldiers of the army of M. la Fayette being admitted to the bar, informed the Aflembly that they were obliged to make their escape through a wood to avoid being seduced by their chiefs, and that they had come to Pa ris to learn tlie truth refpetfiing the events of the ioth. Tliey said, that M. Veneur had written to the batta lions, in the natne of M. la Fayetie, to the following purport . "Soldiers! your confiitution-has been annihilated ! Seditious men have filled the measures of their crimes.— They have caused the Swiss soldiers, and the comiiiandandant of the Na tional Guards, to be aflalGnated.— Wit h fwerds in their hands they have .compelled the Legif.ative body to de cree the fufpenfion'of the King. Sol diers clioofe between ths King and Petion." They added that M. La Fayette •wished to make thetn sign a paper written in the fame (train, and re queued that the would pre vent the perfidious design of this Ge neral. M. Merlin presented fifty different pieces to support their accusation. Two private letters, and in parti cular one from the Coumiiffioners sent to the army, being adduced to corroborate tnefe charges, (he Ailcmbly immediately palled the following DECKEL qv accusation AGAINST M. DE LA FAY £T'l Jr. 1. It appears to this AflVmbly that there; isjufl ground for accft&uon against M. de la Fayette, heretofore Commander of the armyot the North. 2. The Executive Power lhall iu the nioit ex peditious manner poflible, put the present decree into t xecution ; and all authorities, alt citizens, and all foldters, are hereby enjoined, by every means in their power, to secure his person. 3. The Atfembly forbids the army of the north any longer to acknowledge him as Geneial, or to obey his orders ; and lti i£tiy enjoin thdi mo person whatsoever shall luinith any thing for the troops, ar pay any f'noiity for their use, but by the orders of M. Dumourier. We fhull be imjprmed before-hand of the part chat the Aflcmbly -will take on the question of the forfeiture ; tor, in the intermediate time, they are oy deputations to col left the opinions or no. LONDON, August 20. The people at Havic-de-Grace, and from thence ;o Rouen, appear to be pretty equally divided be tween the Kmg and the enemu s of monarchy. The letters trom Paris brought by ths last mail, mention that every thing in tiiat city is in a state of the gieateft ferment and confufion, that every hour perl'ons of refpe&ability ate airelied, and that no one thinks himlclf late ; and that all who can get awny are doing it as tall as poflible. There are one hundred, ana thirty persons in pr'.fon for the bufincU of the x®ih ; there is a very great probability that they will all be put to death, .is no doubt they will al l be found guilty of—fide lity to,the King. The executions are to take place m the square ot the Caroulal over against the Pa lace. Among the vi£hms, aie several noblemen of this country, and the flower of the Swiss nobi lity, many of the late mimfti ts, and M. la Porte, the keeper of the privy purse. The trials com mence this day. A letter from Oft' nd, dated 22d inft. received in town this morning, fays, 41 We haye this day the important news that M.

The Duke of Erunfwick, it is generally credit ed, marched on Thurfc.ay from Luxemburg!) (ihe word ol cohimand was given by the King of Pruf (ia) on his way to Pans ; the diftauce by land from thence being about 210 miles: It was conje&ured that the Duke would transport his army by the river Moftlle, and reach Paris on the ot Sep- t ember, The Temple, where the Royal Family of France are confined, was a fanduary where debtors took refuge agaiuit arrest— 44 Never," said a Parisian wit, on feeing the King enter it on Monday— 44 never before did it contain so great a Bankrupt!"

By an officer from the Rock Landing, fays a .South Carolina paper, information is received, that Col.

Extract of a letter from Cape-Francois, Sept. 17. u The fleet arrived this day at twelve o'clock, the new General (M. Defparbes) dined on board the Eole, man ot war. The troops were under arms, in order to receive him : at 4 o'clock, he sent word that he would not land until morning. " At half after five o'clock, however, he landed, and his landing was announced by the firing of cannon. The proceflion was dispersed, this was what he wished to avoid. He went to M. Blanchelande's, who met hiin at the Champ de Mars. After resting tor half an hour, we all went to the Colonial Aflembly, the the President, M. Danfy, exprelled his regret, that the intended ceremony had not taken place on his arrival, and invited him for the next day to a feaft with the aflembly and civil com | miflioners. M. Defparbes answered, that he would not hear of any feafts or ceremonies, that he was c6me to save the Colony, and that he had more serious business to <lo than receiving or igivtertainmeßts; upon jthi* he walked olf an>imt the plaudits of a numerous gallery, conf]fting,chiefly of the niofj reputable citizens, fie bpijg? "with him 6doo ir.en, among which are 260 dfragdons, of the Regiment of Orleans. ii Ths fame letter relates, that the Negroes have been lately beaten at Gros Morne, that fe j vera! of their encampments have been taken, that they had 150 killed andjoo made prifouers." It was the policy of the ancient common wealths, by public games and feftivals, and by various devices, to multiply and strengthen the ties which bind men to society. The fine arts were encouraged by the public, chiefly with the view of foftering the enthuliafm of the citizens for their country. It is surely better to bind men's hearts than their hands, to engage their best feelings for a government, rather than to awe their fears into obedience. Yetfome men. pretending to be philosophers, wiser than the ancients, and colder than nature made them, aHTetffc to dread the influence of opinion in favor of a popular authority. They fear that a go vernment, in all its branches purely represen tative, will poflefs in too great a degree the £;entleft of all power—the power of doing good, exercjfed in a manner to gain the affections of the people. Surely these men would not re commend a government as more fafe, which iliould make itfelf justly odious by violating their rights, and debasing itfelf below the degree of excellence in which every good citixen de lights to contemplate the image of his country. The people however are told to watch, to fuf- and almost to fear and hate a government which has done justice to individuals. They tell us that Congress is more to be feared for having done justice—those whose threatened rights have been spared, will be grateful, and feel disposed to support government. This is the corrupt and dangerous influence which they tell you is creatcd, and conjured up a£aiuft liber ty. Is the world co.ne to such a pass as not to be shocked when such words are applied to such a purpose ? Is it pofllble in this enlightened age, that a government can be chargcd as criminal, and the people roi)led with alarm, because the rights of tfie public creditors have been deemed facrej? The fame writers who reprobate the fhndiog a&, because it attaches men to fociet) by tba intereil and sentiment, abhor ftil: more a Handing aimed force. They would support the authority of the people thro' their rulers, neither by the strength of* arms nor of opinions. The consequence is easily drawn— they would not have it supported at all. Time is against the government, for it is new. Ar mies it has none. Rivals it has many—ene mies more, some of its own houfehold—lt has scorned the aid offuperftition—Without nobles, without a politicalpriefthood, its life is in every rn'an's hand—lt isfupreme, yet an hoftagewith the people—Who are they that would incite them to destroy it? Not the friends of liberty. The wife and virtuous citizens are protected by government, but in turn they protect it. They are the keepers of a sacred depofit—for a re public io purely ele&ive as ours is, rests on opi nion. When therefore desperate men attempt to poison the public mind, it becomes the men of worth to discharge their trust. They are bound to resist in themselves and others thefirft iinpulfes of passion. The sober reflection of the public seldom errs, and as seldom fails at last to govern the government. It becomes that so ber pfiblic to judge whether the tendency of the late calumnies on men and measures be to cor rect what is wrong, or to throw down all the fences of liberty and order.

Good men will he disgusted and cunning men will find grounds for fufp'cion. But a rational exposition of the principles of a law and an earnest and frequent appeal to the sober sense of the citizens on the fitnefs of those principles and the ufeful tendency of the law, is always a proper conduct for those to observe who wish to fee good order maintained.—lt is COMMUNICATIONS. doubly necessary to do it when men who wilfully or ijfnorantly nufripreteut; the delign of a law, and of thole who framed it, are bulily at work to kindle (edition—ivlitn they deny facts that all the world may lee with their eyes, and tell the people in the bo lorn of peace and in the very lap of picnty, that the laws of Congress are op iprellivo and ruinous, that the excile, funding, and bank laws ought to be repealed, and even refilled—for their doctrines cannot be admitted without juftifying the refinance of the laws j truly in such a cafe it is proper to vindicate the conduct of Congress—to point out the reasons of thole laws, to refute the groundsels objec tions a jainft them, tn appeal to experi ence, the best judge of men and their to evince the wiftlom of thole laws by the good fruits they hai e yielded to the body of the na tion. Theje tail be nodifputeon the propriety of doing this olten and with foine degree of force and earnestness, suited to the fcnle of, the inifchief of stirring up the people against their own laws—yet thole who ineelfantly write a gainst the excise, bank and fnnriing acts, be flow foul names on those who vindicate those mea sures. It seems as if the antidote Ihould be sent after the poison. The soberest attempt to ihew by facts the uses of a law is denominated puff ing ; which by the way is fafer than to deny the fatts which stare them in the face. Advi sing the people to refpeft the laws and maintain good order is called lervile flattery of men in power, fycophantilh, &c. The court—that is to fay, the lervants of a free people are to be llandered toVnaniifeft the spirit of freemen and thole who approve their conduit are base de pendants or secret enemies of liberrty. Such are the impudent arts which are using to stir up mifchief. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. Mr. Fenno, I AM a plain man, and not deeply versed in po litics, bui I arn conscious ot being in truth a well-wsfher to mankind, and particularly so Co the inhabitants of thefc highlyjavoted. United States. It gives me no (mall pain lo lee in some of jhe I new ("papers, a number ot scandalous refle&iong thrown out agatuft the pfeTeiit administration ot' the general government and the conllitutron—a constitution -which, like the glorious fabric of heaven and earth, (as far as we may compare letter things with greatei] was formed in much wisdom and true patiiotifm. out of a mere chaos—where we lay in darkness, coniulion, difgiace and dis tress, which (had 11 continued) was only " the be ginning of for-row** to us and our poflenty — whereas now it is the admiration of all intelligent unprejudiced men in ihe woild who have heard of it ; and the envy of moll nations, even of those who hsve not the virtue, power 01 itfoluiion to iollowoui example. What thofc gruinbletomans .jmongit ourselves have in view, I know not ; but however fair their pretention* may be, or how ever clamorous, their secret views aie ftiongly, and 1 am afraid justly fufpittcd, by the moie en lightened and honeit p««rt of the inhabitants of these ftalv-s, of not being friendly to the pubJic peace. Perhaps some may want to Rfh in tiou,- bled waters, even if their country thould pcrilh in the ilotm. Ii may be envy with others. From all I can learn, the chief and other offi cers ot gdvernment were men of the firft charac ters for probity, intelligence and patnotifm, and underwent much fatigue and hcait conoding anx iety in the field of danger and d.cath, rifquing their all to obtain for this vow happy country, tiec dom from a most grievous yoke, which neither we nor our pofteriiy would have been able to bear. I have Been at pains to enquire, and from all I can learn, most or all ibe m< mbcrs of the legisla tive body, iri both houses, were men of the iiift characters lor integrity, patrioiifm and intelli gence, u» the Hates from Whence tiny came : those !of then pw n vicinity weie ctiliitnly the best judges of thelr chatfc&erj> ; they must leel the good or evil of the laws ihey make, more than you or I, or any others of lei's property, or fewer connex ions or dependants than thtmfelves. Nothing but perverse blindnef*, or woife, can hinder any man from feeing aDd owning thjs ; and what poflib!c motive could they have lor enabling laws (in the confcquences ot which themselves and their nu merous families and connexion's ar< so deeply con cerned) which in their hear,: and confritnee they did not thit k to be (upon the whole) best for the whote family of this great and giowing empire ? I cannot help fufpe£ting that amongn those un reasonable enemies to the prelect coflft there are a few who wilh us again under the Brj_ ti fh yoke, or are inimical to the credit, the glory | ihe pcace and prosperity of those United States. PHIL ANT HROPOS. FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED ST ATI Mr. Fenno, BY this day's Mail I am informed, that the letter containing 6 per ccnt. Stock addrcfl ed to me from Bolton, which in a letter of i6tli ult. was said to be by Post, was not put into the Poll-Office, but forwarded by a private hand te New-York, where it was loji. It is but justice due to the Poll-Office department to make this matter public,as groundless suspicions may have arisen in consequence thereof. It is very un fortunate at this time, that such an error should be committed, as limilar reports have prevail ed and in many instances with as little founda tion. Ypui's, &rc.
