" Weft ward the orb of Empire" darts its ray, And Europe's ebbing tide controuls : Well ward, the bright companion of its way, The lister-star, of Science rolls. The title and motto which the Editor lias has chosen, he presumes, will be uni versally consonant with the principles and lentiinents of every description of citizens. No fpe<3acle can be more gratifying to the patriotism, nor more ufeful to the union of Americans, than thepolitical Orrery, which exhibits to the naked eye of reason, the accordant motions of the Fifteen Planets, revolving, by the equal energy of state-pro jection, and federal attraction, around the Sun of Government, whose orb, diffufing light and heat throughout the hemisphere, beams n rt from a focus, but the centre of the system. Typographical univerfalifm should ever be the creed of a free regulator of a frefs.

In the dearth of intelligence, an attic ragout will be provided for the palate of the literary epicure. Original dialogues, combining a mixture of point, humor and 'Jentiment, twill be varioujly interspersed with periodical essays, <well seasoned with moral savory ; clafjical com ofitions, un adulterated by quaintnefs or pedantry; interefling localities, unvitiated by personal scurrility ; literary criticisms, equally re mote from adulation or acrimony ; and scions of indigenous poesy, blooming in full verdure and fragrance, from their parent Jtalk. For the Juccefsful accomplishment of Jo novel and various an enterprise, the re cluse son of science, the meditating mora ifl, the experienced pedejlrian in the fields of general literature, the able disputant in the forum of jurisprudence, the queen of the Columbian Muses, and all the family of Apollo, are refpeflively invoked.

By this Day's Mail. NEW-YORK, Sept. 22. Extra ft of a letter from a Gentleman in Limerick (Ireland), to his friend in this city, dated July 15, 1794- 4( It is now pretty generally believed that we (hall have a peacc with France ; our fleets have proved victorious, at the fame time that oui armies have been dreadfully beaten by these brave Re publicans wherever met with. They have driven us from their territories, and have pursued their victories by seiz ing on Flanders and Brabant; Ghent, Bruges, Nieuport, Oftend, &c. are now in their pofleffion, and we fear the Duke of York and army are in a Bur goyning condition, (under the rose) I think it would be a happy circum fiance, ss we should then be driven to peace indeed.—-Tumults in Spain are arrived to a great height, and we re juice at the idea ot a Revolutionary Tribunal appearing in Madrid flioitly. I think the French Committee of Pub lic Safety is a grand body, their views extend to the revolution of the world ; kingdoms, dates, or empires or small theatres ofaftion to these magnanimous heroes and liberators of mankind: | And may they go 011 until tyranny and ! usurpation, monarchy and aristocracy, ! are alike blended and melted down in the crucible of Liberty ■and democra cy. I can allure you the leaven of Li berty and Equality is by degrees about ;to leaven the whole world. God is tri umphantly going forward in the chariot of regeneration : the Gospel talks of the new man ; our ideas are enlarged, and we now talk of nations and a new world; here my friend is a scale of ac tion to our ideas, which 'bursts forth with resplendent glory. The prophet ipeaks of a nation being born in a day, behold the critical period of these lat ter times ! we' are on the eve of great events ; they are at the door : and tho' you are removed from them, I am in their midst: and if I perish in the glo rious struggle, I (hall die a martyr, not like my forefathers in the cause of ty rants, but (hall shout " Vive la nation."

By a vefiel in 20 days from Marti nique, intelligence is received that the French troops, reduced to 300, had quitted Point a Petre, and retired to the mountains, but afterwards surren dered to Sir Charles Grey: also, that they previously had funk a (hip of the line, armed en flute, and 6 frigates, which brought from France the 1500 men composing the army that made a defeent on Bafleterre.

At ten o'clock 011 Monday night, the cry of murder was heard in the house of James Hart, in Beach-ttreet, in this city ; some people immediately ran into the houfc, and found Hart and his wife extended on the floor, to appearance with their throats cut ; Physicians soon arrived, and on examination found the wounds on the neck of the man to be merely fuperficial incisions; but the throat of his wife was cut in a mod (hocking manner; the incision began from the left mafteide muscle by the firft stroke, and extended to the os hyoides ; a repeated stroke from the right ear met the left incision and opened the os hyo ides into the wind pipe; the third (Iroke was a stab, which separated the right external jugulars, which emitted near four quarts of blood—fortunately neither of the two caroted arteries were separated, and her wounds are supposed not to be mortal. Hart, the supposed perpetrator of the horrid aft, is com mitted to prison for trial, at the Supe rior Court which fits in this city on Tuesday next. Arrived. Sloop Sally, D.

Just before he left Madeira a vessel at rived there in 8 days from Gibraltar—and brought papers which contain particu lars of an engagement between an Eng ! hih frigate and \ Algerine rruizers— the fubltance of which was, that the Algerines hailed the Englishman, and ordered him to brinj his papers on board—which the English Captain re fused ; the order was then repeated, with a threat, that if it was not com plyed with, the Turkilh vefTels would fire upon the frigate—the answer was Fire and be damned"—an engage ment instantly ensued, which terminated in the finking of two of the Algerine corsairs ; and the capture of the other two ; which were condu&ed to Gibral tar.

COMMUNICATIONS. It must afford all friends to the reign of the law and good government, the highest fatisfa&ion to find the disposition of the people generally so favorable to their existence and determined in sup porting them. The patriotic exertions of the 1 lovernor of Pennsylvania, are above all praise, and the Citizens of that state, as wel! as the other states from which the militia have been draft ed, turned out with an alacrity hardly to be expected, when the service is con lidered. The lnfurgcnts we hope, will be induced either by fcar,oT a sense of error, ta Seek an accommodation—and thereby avert the horrors of domestic carnage—and a civil war. But they must be convinced from the readiness of the militia to march againfl them, that all attempts to overturn or innovate on the poweisof a government based on the hearts of the people, will be im potent, as " Tube behind tube eternal guards shall keep, " Wfcilft in their wombs ten thousand thunders sleep," To blill luch mil'crcants.

From the CentineL m Extran of a letter from a Gentleman re siding in London, to his Correfpondeni residing in Boflon, dated April 12, 1794. " Dear Sir, " I GAVE a tranfeript of your let ter, containing your opinion of the menfures molt proper to be adopted, in urder to prevent a rupture with Amfri ca, to Ministers ; and gave you the full credit of it. I am, indeed, sorry to fee our favourite Amerita likely to plunge beifclf into the present dreadful convullions which shake Europe. I la-' ment the growing calamity ; and moil flncerely hope their, wisdom and temper, aided by the conciliatory measures, which I have reason to believe are about to be adopted by Great Britain, will vel prevail to avert it.—When I fay ouv favouilte America, I believe I speak the language of affeaion and attach ment, which mofl of the English bear towards your people, as being virtually of their own family, and to whom they certainly give the preference over all the reft of the world. But in the name of common fenf'e, what can be their object ? Bv their neutrality, they will command the world in every way, which can possibly promote and strengthen their riling states: By entering into the contest,: they must lose all they have hi therto reci uited by a ten years peace : Ten years more will raise them to opu lence and strength, rendeiing them for midable to their enemies every where : To interrupt that progress at this time, would probably throw them back into a state of consumptive decripitude, which it would require many generations to repair. As to the Western polls, 1 wish they were given up, and even Ca nada itfelf, which 11 more a source of contention than advantageous to Great Biitain. But what is it the United States have not ? Tliey are draining the mines of Mexico and Peru through Spain. They aie alluring nil the riches of diltrefled France into their jnrtfdic tion : They are about to render Portu gal dependent on tlvjir ports: They posi tively command by affedion, intercomfe and mutual accommodation, the whole commercial inter ells of Great Britain : They are every where exchanging their surplus prodtifU, which would with them, otherwise be wafle, for the wealth of every corner of the Globe. By being the carriers of the whole World, wh ch, under neutrality, they mult be, they are rapidly augmenting the real and most essential strength of a nation : They are giving employment to, and promoting the industry of their people : They are enabling their fubjedts to acquire property abroad, in order to spend it at home, in the nurture of do metlii- manufactures, and the culture of tlieir foil: They are thus promoting internal stores and riches, on which hereafter, if unavoidable, to erect and fortify the real ftnews of defence and e ven of offence. I could go 011 for ever contemplating their true pursuits, their real, their only intcrefts, as founded in neutrality and peace ; all which, should they unhappily be drawn in to engage in the present troubles, must inevitably be Sacrificed, alike under success, or de feat. lam as strong an advocate for the true principles and meaning of liberty, when regulated by, and Subordinate to good order, fixed laws, and christianity, as any man ; and there are not many men in the world who have more at flake in it than I have ; but when a state misapplies the term, and a£ts upon mis taken principles of liberty, they destroy the very object of their pursuit, and, in stead of laying the foundation of liberty, in the pra&icc of genuine religion, mo rality, justice and dignity, on which to build the fabric of lasting peace an J hap piness to the human race, they only propagate a wild and ungovernable en thuliafm, which can only terminate in anarchy and mifrul*, of which we have a melancholy example before our eyes, in the present dreadful Situation of a neighboring nation. May Gtid, in his infinite wisdom and goodness, avert all such mifthiefs from our favsurite America, and may the moderation, firmnefs, and disinterested ness of Washington, long be their example for imitation, contrasted with the wildntfj of noighbouiing States, to pveferve them in the inestimable bene fits and advantages of a impartial and dignified neutrality tctwards all the belligerent Powers, by which they can alone preserve their internal and domes tic tranquility ! " I have detained you longeron this fubjeft than 1 was aware of. I wish I could any how open their eyes to their true interells, and any way contribute to preserve them from the impending horrors of the mod dreadful war th J ver the human race was ciirf.d wit . unce the creation of the world."

Sbort Logic for Insurgents. Either the infurreftion is right or it is wrong. If right, the people of America will fee the propriety of it and join the In furgents—lf wrbng, the people will unite to support government, and the Tnfurrre tion will be cruflied. If the Infurreflion Ihould succeed by becoming general, a re volution is the eonfequence. If it should be fiipprefled, much property will he waft ed, much expence incurred, the burdens nf these very Insurgents will be augmented blood may be Ihed, violent ammofities will be enkindled between* fellow-citl zetis ; and the deluded multitude must Pt lafl submit to the laws, with difgraee and accumulated burdens* After being fitly, dued, should they collet in final!

Such has been the progress of all 'free states, and fnch is the commencement of the progress of the United States.
