The King (Louis XVI.) is f.:id to have been much affected on being in formed of the execution of M. la Forte, the iniendanc of ihe civil lilt. A gemleaian yelterday gave 100 guineas to receive one guinea a day until the Duke of firuiifwick, at the head of a holtile army, fliall arrive at Paris. This is no proof, thai much confidence is placed in his operations. The perl'on who gave the money, congratulated himlelfon having pur chased an annuity of 365 guineas for life. It has been said, that the Duke of Bi unfwick clan meet with 110 lerious! refinance in iiis march to Paris A whole people united, is but a'trifling; obllacle then to an invadiitg foe !—! The truth is, tyrants will find that all their boasted difcipiine must be inefficacious againll a nation deter mined to be free, and that tactics are only good opposed to ia<ftics.

Mr. Fen no, TFfILE the fuppreflion of a!! the * V prefles in France, except t'hibfe rubfervient to the views of the predo minant party on the one hand, and the prejudices supposed to influence the Englilh publications on the other, may tend to obfeure the faithful de lineation of the proceedings in thit country. We are neverihelefs capa ble of discerning oil the whole, that the people of Fiance have fiverved from the original principles of their revolution—that tlie new tonftitution has been eUentially violated—and that reason and judgment , are over whelmed by the boiiterous voice of faClioii. How far the stings of old wdunds received from the hands of despotism may apologize for their late condudi, it is not our talk to de termine. > But what despotism bears half the ills in its train as thaj of anarchy arrfl contusion, wiieve every ftcred mound railed for the security of life, liberty, and property, is le velled by the torrent of lawlcfs pow et ?

Let Americans attend to the expreflive memento—and by a due observance of every social and confti tutioual obligation, render a jult tri bute of gratitude to the Supreme Go vernor of' the Universe for the hlef fings they enjoy—Let them be cau tious of being betrayed by the devices of those factious demagogues am6ng thenifelveg, who, ambitious to adi over a (imilar scene in thi9 conntry, are found *ociierous for liberty, ffeile the worst of tyranny reigns in their hearts—who wifli to set the world in a flame, that they may'have a better chance ro plunder.

Some few manufactories have been attempted to be erected in this State ; but from the high price of wages, the great plenty of provisions, and above all, the cheapnels of land, tbey do not succeed excepting those for bulky articles, the ra>v materials of which are cheap, and the expence of bringingoverheavy.

Mathew Carey Refpcflfully submits to the Citizens of the United States, the following PROPOSALS fop j»u or T 9.i* * tfO B* r .»»»csi" ric^, An AMERICAN EDITION of Guthrie's Geography IMPROVED. Of which theft arc the terms : 1. TT shall be published in 48 weekly numbers, JL each containing three (heets,or twenty-four pages, of letter press, in quarto, printed with new types on fine paper. 11. In the course of ihe work wi|l be-delivered about thirty Urge maps, of the fame fisc »s thofc in the European editions, viz. most of them ftieet ttnaps on post paper. (£3T Bef/des the maps in the Britijh editions, this work will curtain maps of as many of the United States as can he readily procured, executed by the beji engrav ers in the United States. 111. The price of each number will be a quar ter dollar, to be paid on delivery. No ad vance required. IV. The woik will be put to press as soon as yooVopies are fubferibed for. V. Sub(cKibei's who disapprove of the work, on the publication ol the three fiiftnumbeis, are to be at liberty 10 return thetn, and shall have their money repaid. VI. The fubferibers* names fliall be prefixed as patrons of the undertaking. Perhaps there is no science more entertaining and ufefubthan geogiaphy. It reveals the disco- Meries ,of travellers—the remarkable curiofitics of all countries, in nature and art—the situation ot provinces, cities, towns, villages, livers, & moun tains—in,fine, the history, manners, customs, laws, forces, revenues, and government of different na- tions. It is an old observation, that li there is not a son or daughter of Adam, but has some concern with geography and that a knowledge of this science rs indtfpcnfable towards the lludy of his tory with advantage or fatisfa&ion. Indeed a man unacquainted with it, cannot dtfcourfe on the most common newspaper topics of the day without betraying his ignorance. So much for geography generally. With rc fneft to the present plan, let it fufftce to remark, that Guthrie's Geography ha> been long acknow ledged to be the best in ihe Engiifh language : however, the account of America in it has, from obvious reasons, been very erroneous and defec tive. The errors of former editions will be cor rected, and the defers fupplicd, by gentlemen of abilities, who have engaged to fuperimend this undertaking, and to avail themselves of all the in formation that cftn be procured, to lender it the most complete edition extant. The Pi inter t ameitly solicits the support of his fellow-citizens throughout the United States : and as no deposit is requited, and every fubferiber will be at liberty to withdraw his name, if, on trial, he (hould dilapprove of the work, he hopes the friends of science. and of Ameiican arts and ma nufactures, will'cheerfully and ea»ly patronize this ufefnl work, the gieateft and most expensive, pro bably, ever yet attempted in America, in the typo graphical line, the Encyclopedia excepted.
