the Amsterdam, letters have been received
the by a merchant in this city, from that
the place dated the 28th June, which' date
unt i:i fubllancejthat the Freuch ate carry "
ing all before them in Flantiers—-that
by univeffal corifternation had seized on
to the Inhabitants of the citiei on the fron '
th, tiers, and that the panic had reached I
(fed even to the Towns of the United Pro |
hall vinces—that the Fugitives weie flocking
in such multitudes to Holland, that the
Cities were crowded with emigrants—
It may therefore be lafely ptelumed
hat nothing had occurred to check the
arecr of the French iucceffes as late
as the 26th of June.
Remarks from a Carrefpondcnt.
When you hear a man of property ad
vocating opinions and principles that are
holtile to the peace of Society and security
of personal rights—you may determine
fhat iie is either a knave or a fool.
When opinions are supported which the
experience of ages teftifies are untenable
on any ground of public happiness, we
may justly fufpetl the motives of their ad
. cates—for tho' the do&rme may not hold
universally true, that " experience is the
t{:ft of truth"—yet it is undoubtedly the
flf ft guide in political concerns.
There are opinions fp ried now-a-days
which sb ;ke at rheroot t>t all ihofe principle*
and establishment-- in religion,la vs,govern-'
: ment, politics, commerce, arts & litera
ture, w'th w : iich mankind have heretofore
nfociated every idea of human enjoyment
ao-1 felicity.
Whether the people of the United States
shall relax and fever every bond of amity,
neace and good will which have heretofore
linked focicty togeTher, by fiibflituting a
e new "creed in religion and polities, is mu:h
c more the quelH n of the day than many ap
. pear to apprehend.
