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.

r Philadelphia, Oft. 5 1.
Monday last arrived here the Ihip Niel Mal
conijCapr. Gil!—by this veflcl London papers are
received to the Bth September.—A summary oi
the important intelligence they contain is ii
the following abftraft.
I The Duke of Brunfwick, after taking feve
ral fortified places, had marched with his army
'towards Paris,, and was within leventy miles of
that capital—ln conlequence of his fuccefles 01:
the frontiers, Longwi and Several other place,
having fallen into his hands, the National A'
fembly palled a decree exprefiing in strong
terms the danger of the country, and calling on
the citizens to arm and turn out to reinforce
the army—Six-ty thousand men were to be rais
ed immediately—this decree provided for a ge
neral alarm—the Tocsin was rung, and tbegc
ncralbeat in allthefeftions. The citizens imme
diately repairbd to the Camp de Mars to feleft
their volunteers, and make their arrangements
to comply with the decree for reinforcing the
army
It being fuggcfted by one of the people, that
previous t« going to the frontiers to fight the
enemy without, it was proper to take care of
the enemy within—the idea was immediately
communicated from man to man, and the whole
body immediately divided themielves into par
ties, and spread themselves all over the city—
they broke open the pi ilons, and put all thepti
foners to death; among whom were upwards of
one hundjed of the nonjurlng clc.gv, including
one biihop, Cai. Montniorin, fet.&c.—the con
iution continued at the date oi the lafi Paris ac
count, which was Sept. 3d. —The garrison of
L'ongwi consisted of 1820 men, who were all
made prifone-s of war.—Part of the Austrian
armv were besieging Verdun. —An account was
Ipubliflied in an English paper of the 10th Sept.
which was seen at Scarborough, stating that the
citizens of Verdun had demanded of the com
manding officer ihat the city (ho 11 Id be sur
rendered to the Auftrians, that he had been
obliged to comply with this demand, and that
he had in conlequence lhot himlelt. — Ihe
Englilh papers contain accounts of differ
ent ikiruuihes between the French and Auftri
ans with various fuccefs —but in an attack on
175
the French camp at Manlde, the Auftrians were
lepulled With grcatflaughter —An account was
cncu.ated HI i-aris at t • time of the massacre
whtui added greatly to tne fury of the populate
ami taat was, that four thouland men belonging

Saturday lalt arrived the ship Roebuck,
Capt. Bhfs, irom Bristol. The papers brought
by this vessel are to the 25th of August, not so
late as those received by the Kitty from
Liverpool.
Mr. Alexander Forter, of this city, arrived
in the Roebuck.
The 16th and 20th Britifii regiments of foot
arrived about the middle of Auguli last at Ja
maica, from Halifax.
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."
Printers willing to adminiiter an antidote to
firhilar poisons, will give a place in their yef
pe&ive papers to this sample of the unfounded
rumours continually pr«pagated to deltrov the
confidence of their fellow-citizens in public
char after*.

I'art of the French troops winch
lately arrived in the Weft-Indies from
trance, are now landed at St. Kilts ;
being driven away from Martinique,
as Hated in a former paper, they ar
rived at St. Kitts in diltrefs, and asked
sOl \ elief and protection, which were
granted them. Mter refuting
to receive them, the Royalilts
of Martinique sent two frigates to
bring them back—these frigates ar
lived at St. Kitts and demanded the
troops of the Governor, who did not
think proper to deliver theai up—oh
which the fiigates cut out the empty
tranlports and cauied them off.
We fee nothing in the Kriglifh pa
pers relating to the meeting of the
primary Aflemhlies at Paris 011 th«
261 h Augufl, agreeable to former in
timations.
By a arrived herefrom Mar
seilles, which left that port the 13th
[September, we are informed that 110
iuccounts had been received there of
[the near approach of the Aultrian
army t.i Paris—and it was the opini
[On at Marseilles that the Duke of
Brunfwick would not look at Paris
this winter.
/is yet, 110 irruption lias been made
into fiance, except by the army of
i lie Duke of Brunfwick—The Prince
of Hohenlobe is kept in awe by the
Monf. Biron, and M. Dumourier
covers the northern frontiers.
COMMUNICATION.
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.
