BRUSSELS, August 24, " By letters from Vienna, dated the 15th inlt. we are informed that a paper had been palled upagainft the Hotel de Ville, in which the inhabi tants were invited to imitate the ex ample of the French, and to cut the throats of all the arillocrats. The discovery of this paper has been pro ductive of universal indignation.— The Emperor was expedited at Vien na 011 the 17th inltant. On the Sun day following Te Deum will be sung, and a general illumination will take ylace. Our government has not yet pub- Jiflied the otlicial account of the tak ing of Longwi. LONDON, August 23. The Bruflels Gazette contains a Jong and elaborate contradiction of all the French accounts, refpetfting the fkirmiffies on the Flanders fron tiers, and the dcfertion of the Auilri au troops, and the mutinies among them at Motis and Ttsurnay. It de nies in express terms every aflertion of General Dillon's letter to the Na tional Afletnbly ; and affirms that the desertion has been confined to the light troops, and is not greater than nfual.—lt observes that the Auftrians are not in the habit of giving details of such petty rencontres asthe French have lately enlarged upon ; and yet be it remarked, insert* an article, in which the Aulhians are stated to have ktlled abotit 20, and taken ijof the enemy. The report ofyefterday, as to French affairs, was, that a levy had taken place on Sunday afternoon in Paris, by which from 40 to 60 thoufaiwl men were raised for service upon the frontiers. Such a circumstance, whe ther a levy was made by force, or othervrife, could Icarcely have occur red, except upon the impulse of some new danger ; and it is indeed be lieved by these, who have the belt information, that the French minis ters had intelligence 011 Sunday morn ing, which they refufed to communi cate before measures were taken for preferring the peace of Paris. The Duke of Brunfwick is said to have calhiered fcveral of his officers for allowing the men under their c<tmt:ia:id to coinn.it cruelties and depredations in their march. The village of Beauville, the in habitantsaf whichattenipied todefeud themlelves, was razed to the ground. The town of Longwi was spared, except a few lioufes belonging to known and ardent revoluiionilts. Domestic Articles. CHARLESTON, (S. C.) OJt. 16 On Friday last Capt.

About a fortnight since, at Christiana, in the State ofDelaware, five or fix gantlemen being together in converlation on v public fubjedls and public characters, —one of the company, a Mi. M'Kenrton, told a Jlory of the Secretary of the Trealury, and as he luppofed upon findoubted authority, nearly in the following words : 44 Colonel Hamilton, said he, applied to Go vernor Mifflin ; and leprelented the propriety of reftricling the democratic ascendency in the national go vernment, which might be effected by the introduction of aristocrats; adding, that if he (Governor Mifflin) would co operate in the formation of this counterpoise, the Secre tary woujd piedge hirnfelf to get him elected Vice-President of the United States. u The Governor declined these overtures, alledging that he had never discovered to any one, and should maintain his veferve, whether he was attached to this or the other principle, in government; but he knew full well the un alterable bias of those who fupj>orted him- And, as to the Vice-PreJidency, he did not hesitate to declare, that he was more ambitious of re maining at the head of Pennfvlvania." A gentleman of the State of Delaware, to whom this,conversation was communicated, in order to an investigation of the truth of the (lory, called upon Governor Mifflin, who in un equivocal term, declared, that, , u No Juch convo fation ever happened, vor could he recoHeft tiny circumjlunce that could git e birth to Jo ri diculous a tale."

No truth is plainer, and if evert our anarchy-men could deny ir, none could preduce more proofs or more believers, than that without govern ment there can be no liberty. Weak ening government, or bringing the laws into genera] abhorrence, is nia> nifeftly an attack on the liberty 'of the people—it is levelling the in trenchments round the very citadel. Yet onr highfliers use every mean* t<» make the people abhor the laws, tho confliiuiion, Congress, and the exe cutive officers. In their eyes, the vindicating ilie laws and public offi cers, is a crime—it proves meflnoefil of fpirir and corruption of princi ples. On the contrary, they dub themselves the friends of the people, because they labor to destroy all that rhe people have chosen to efiablitb, and ir is no fault of their's if oppoil tioii is not yet made by force of arms to the execution of the laws eDaded by the authority of the nation. The traitors again ft the eonftitutien of Poland came with arms in their hands, and the lying pretences of liberty in their mouths, to overthrow the free government and laws of their coun try.
