FRANKFORT, Sept 24. /IffaJinMon oflhe Ki:;g of Prussia. A ciriumilance has occurred here, which has occasioned much alarm. On application front the Prince of Condr, a person of the name of I'Eveq'K, who is by ptofcffion a dcntill, and is eftabhftifd at Strasbourg, has Skcii aoprehrnded in conft-quencp of a difcoverv having been made that he was engaged to affdffinate tlie Kin-' of Pruflia. 0 . This person has been employed profrflionally, in the family ot the Duke ol Wui tcmhurg, and attended the Dutchels in her late visit to the Princess Ferdinand of PrulTia. Alter he was laken into custody, he conf.-flcd the truth of (lie charge—and added, that he had already received fifty thouland livres, in part ot the reward which had been promtfed him for the perpetration of this horrid crime. From the measures which are now taking, it is probable that many additional patticuiais of this biifmefs will foou be known. It may in the mean time be considered as an additional evi dence of the principles by which those aban doned persons are afiuaied, who have usurped the conduit ot arfansin Franco. PARIS, September 17. The defoi mity of vice, as somewhere observ ed, i> fufficieut u> procure admirers to virtue. From this principle, our modern philol'ophcri are intent on representing their new libertv un der all Ihe deformity of favagc liceniioufnefj, 111 order that theii disciples may hereafter be brought to a due admiration of real libertv, as confident with the happiness of society. Tins is the only apology we can make for their Of fering, not to fay encouraging ihofe horrid ciu tlties which are daily dil'gracing every part of France. Every day brings accounts that the new mode of luminary juflice has laken place in many parts of the Kingdom. At Lyons all theprifnns were oprned on the 8 h and loth, as they hail been at Paris in the beginning of the month* and the unf.utunaic prifoucrs execut d in ;he mannel ; a co.ifirmaiion that llrS general mafla. tie his be; n theeftrft of a concerted plan, and not of a momentary madness of the people. But what verv txtiaoidinary is. that finre this umveifal jail-delivery at Paris, not above ten days ago, ihere are more than 500 peifons ar retted and put in prison withnutany legal a£t of justice. Some arc put in by the aflembly of the common council, others by the fcftions, and others by private citizen?. M. Roland, who we mufl do him the juftiee to fay, items very attentive to the ju f ticc of the kingdom, has rrprelenteri ihefe illegal proceed ings loathe Assembly, and warmlv demanded that proper mcafures may be taken for prevent ing them. The of eiiblVng is almost over at Paris; for the fact is, there air fcair.e lelt any fub'e&s to work. M:ny ol our taverns, coffer. h.>i'i fis, shops, and in,iri'ifa6t')ncs, are flint up, p,,,,1 v for want of cult im, an,l partly l, l)m a Wlillt ol fcrvants and workman to attend the m. The trenches round Parts are nuking a verv rapid progress, tlv,u?,h we think there will be Jcarce any ocofion to make use ol them at letlt before next summer. One of our pat, tots In,, indeed, taken eft: dual means to his PrulTian Maji (\v horn anyfurth.r huftile '3c figns : he has deoofited w,t!, the Alfrmblv twen ty-five hvrrs, to b- paid to any man that w,II bring one ol the King's cats, and promiled twen ty-live Louts d'ois lor his wind, tiesd. There has cert ..inly hen fomc cnVaaeroent between t! c arm.cs; l ni , we conlrlV » f tJll _ pot find out from any ol the accounts re,:, tve.l. which 1-aity have l„ en the conqnrrots.

Even to those who fee in to dcv I nothing but victims of ordina ry j! ; ce, who e crimes the verditft of*no jury CouM ::io.e fully iubftantiate, and whose pu n llmumt on t not to be lamented from its infomaHty ; to thofl? the continuance of such a a > trs i'<mu*w!iat too ltrong, and t.iey * iit the sword of vengeance fliould now he ihe*thed. Whatever may we the hearts of thole w*jo have conducted thisprofcription, they have the fen e to fee that some other fueling' than the love of publicjuftice may be excited, tiujpe, in the murder of de la Roche foucauit, ti>ey lament a man, wandering a little thron di error from the true road of pa triotism, bnt a fine ere friend of the revolution and jof liberty. Tiiehandof lome inalsonant aTafiin has taken advantage of this havoc to gratify private revenge; the profcribers glo rying in every other deed, but lamenting and disavowing this. Every precaution is taken to hinder the repetition of such outrages ; the feclions have formed a general confederation among themielves, and each citizen makes bimfelf re r ponfible for the lofs'and property of his neighbour; from the in which this is arranged, together with the patroles who watch over its execution, the tranquility of the city is not likely again to be disturbed, and the seditious are certain of being appre hended, before any mischievous deiigns can be carricd into effect. " Roufleau has alferted, that a revolution is gained at too high a price, if it costs the loss of one citizen. This axiom is contemp tible, because it induces abjedt fubini/fion to the vilest deipotifm. Liberty may, however, be purchased at too dear a rate, when honor and justice are made the facrifice. The ge neral abhorrence of the are t.'ie cleateft proofs that both the nationrl ho nor and justice remain unimpeached, .'ince every exertion was made by the constituted powers tc hinder the violation of either.— Every friend to freedom molt lament, that its traitors (hould fufl'eranv other punifhnient than those inflicted by the law, which has, or ou;;lt to have fufiicientlv avenging powers, whilst tyrants only are left to all'affinatkins and proscription. " Let these who heap undiftinguiflied in famy on tie iv.tion for this act, if they are willing to believe it the ast of the nation, re flect, that li ice the revolution of 17f>9, tiiou fands have fallen in defence ot those princi ples which the treason of the court have now made the principles of any man who has any attachment to liberty. Let h ; m recoiled, on the one fide, the maifacres at Nantz, Nifmes, Montauban, Avignon, Catpentras, and the Champ de Mars, where the pureit blood was spilt by the Court and the ariitocraev ; wbilft, previous to tiiis event, only one man n.-.dbeen condemned, »nd very tew had fufFered from the rage of tile people. " It should be remembered also, that with the concurrence, nay, with even the itwjta tion of this court and the ariflocracy at iiojfie, one hundred and thirty thoul'and Prussians, Auftrians, Ruffians, and emigrants, had en tered France; that the Duke of Bru.ifwick had threatened death to the flighted refiiUnce and his followers had given serious fpeciinens of the modes in which they would inflict it, by cutting off the lioles and ears of the men, and nailing the lail to their heads; and beiides the ordinary and allowed cruejties to women, cutting olf their breasts, and murdering the infants, &c. that this army was ou its march to the capital, and had already taken the only two forts that lay directly on its way ; that at this moment, the exultation of the arifto cracv in Paris, became as unbounded, as its discovery at this time was imprudent, that to repel rbofe invaders, not only the federates who were in Paris, but con.lderable detach ments ot the citizens were preparing to march, leaving to the meicy of internal foes, the fate of their and children; under these repeated provocations, and influenced by fears which appeared so well rounded, it is not to be wondered at that so little resistance was made at firft, to those whose refoiution had b»en fixed for 10:11 c days to make so ter rible an example, and in puniihing the guilty now, furuifh motives to others not again to provoke so dreadful a vengeance." L O N D O N, September 17. The count-, Horn, De Ribbing, Li jenhorn, and Etrenfchwardt, who were accomplices with Ankerflroem, in killing the King of Sweden, have palTcd through Copenhagen in tneii- way to Italy. Notwithftarding their endeavors to remain unknown, Count Horn was recognized at Helfinbourg, and the peo ple a flailed him with stones, by which, how ever, he was only slightly wounded in the foot. , „.

On Monday last the Circuit Court of the United States for this diftricl, was opened by the Hon. Thomas Johnson, one of the AfToci ate Justices of the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States, and the Hon. Nathaniel Pendleton, Dill rift Judge of this diftrift. Four persons, v.*!.o failed from Eofion to the liland of Martinique, and from thence to Savannah in May last, were indi&ed and tried for stealing on the high seas, near the Island ot Martinique, a number of negroes, belong ing to inhabitants of that Island; Samuel Skinner, of Boston, who was supercargo of the veiiel, and who appeared'to b® was found guilty by rliejury, on.his own con fedion, upon the 16th section of the law for the purifhm'fnt of certain crimes again il the United State*, and was feotence'd to receive thirty-nine laihes, to pay a fine of one hun dred dollars, all lawful charges of the profe cutlon, and to stand committed till the Sen tence was complied with. The other three prisoners, to wit: Nathaniel Hickman, Ro bert Watts, and Nathaniel Ridgeway, were acquitted. Samuel Skinner, pursuant to the above mentioned sentence, was, on Wednesday last, publicly whipped at the Market-house in this town. We are informed that a party of white man from the frontiers of this (late, has of late made an incursion to the Cherokee nation, burnt one of their towns, and killed three of their people—That two of seven Indians of the aforefaid nation, who had been invited in to the ibttlemeffts to hold a friendly talk con cerning the late murders by Indian*-, were killed a£Warc9smill, in Franklin county, and a the fame time wounded. These traniacrions are, no dot.bt, considered by the doers of them, as striking the balance on Ja va ge account—it is however aJFuining a great deal, (to leave humanity and policy out of the qucftion) for individuals to take u;jon them lelves to judge (and carry into execution that judgment) on matters which involve the ge neral tranquility. HA R T F O R D, December 3. A correfphndent retnarks that nothing exhi bits the human character in a m»re degrading view, than the violeni attacks made upon the V ice-Preiident and the Secretary of the Treasury. That men so bold and diftinguifhcd in the cause of America during the late icvoluion, so up right, ingenuous, able, and indefatigable in efta blilhmg a fyft?m of government and finance for th? United States, and so much efteeaied and refprfted bythegr'-at body of enlightened Ame ricans, that fui ii men fbould be continually abu lcd, ceniiircd and vilified by a little jattion of zvtonghcadsy and avowed enemies to the prcfent ccnftuuticn ot the United States, which has, in ihiee yeais time, raised us from a wretched stare of aifcord, and rescued our national cha ra&er from infamy, is a fa£l no lets surprising then degrading to humsfl nature. But why abuse the Vicc-pufiderif, that oro founcl ftatelman—that ilr.-dy pqtriot ? Why abuse the Sccrctary of the Treasury, that di/c. i n infe upright and pcrftver:ng financier ? Dues not America rifteafy and fatislicjd with bis ad miniftratioc ? Let the enemies of our peace be a (lured that if the u>ijejl oj their leaders were pla ced at the head of the Treafuiy department, he uouU not dare to change the prrfent f\jiem of _/f ---tiavce. No man who knows the attachment which the mass of fublUntial Americans have for that ryfiem, and their determination is well a- their powerto support it, would venture uuon the hazardous cxjMiimrnt, The man or men, who (hak< put lie credit or overthrow the fyf tcm thit fupporis it, will be crushed in its ruin;. For the GAZETTE of the UN ITED STATES. To the LADIES or PHILADELPHIA. NOTHING has tended more to abate the influence of the fair sex on the manners ot men, than the prevailin; pradfcice of card plaving. Formerly, the character of the ate was principally conformed to the nature of their favorite occupations, war and hunting. The foftneßand fine polity of French man ners, is corißfledly swing to the women But cards have flopped the progrefj of this gentle power, and it is doubtful whether we are not going backward radier than forward. Talents are cultivated in proportion as they are valued. It'a Lady has any thin? to fay" it would interrupt V.'h'ft to fiiy it. If fte has nothing to fay, the vacancy oi her mind mav be concealed at the card-table. Wit and fen ttment are babbling intruders there. They are unheard, or heard only to disturb the va cant solemnity of that pantomime Icene. The potven of converlation rust for want of use ' ' lrds level the diftinAions of undemanding and education. A common plea ior cards is they relax the mind when it is overstrained by attention to bafinef:. This is true enough, for a,game or two, played for amufemeut and not for money. But to play for money, is ftraimng the miod again—it brings up un friendly and mciti paflions—it makes beauty and wit feebie by raising up a set of rival e motions—the fear of ioiing and the hope of gam. Ihe queen of trumps seems to the gambler more sparkling than the queen of hearts—and in fact we fee that a i.ian tired of business, rerts himfelf by getting more tired of cards. He plays till midnight, fill his head akes, h;s temper is soured, his patience and his money gone, and an itch for play is co— trailed, winch brings him every ni.rht to the gaming-table to lose more money, till lie has neither money nor merit left. It depends on the Ladies, and the Ladies only, to keep this vice, the rival of their c.iarms, out ofpoiire company. Tboie who have sense and beauty, e'c iuterefted to do it; and they are the per'ons to pre/cribe the regulations oi" manners with the nicll urd-i ---puted authority.
