longer doubtful that the Count de St. Ji.llen and the Aide de Camp Burne have-carri-d to Viem-a, the ultimatum of the First Con sul. Those negotiators must have arrived at that capital on the 7th or Bth inft. The Imperial Cabinet would cer-ainly take some days ° deliberate, and therefore it is not surprising that its answer (hould not reached Paris on the 16th, the date of the Paper arrived. It is aflVrted, however, that our government received on Tucfday or Wednes day night intelligence from Vienna, that the preliminaries had been ratified by the empe ror, and that thin gave occafioii <0 the ex traordinary cabinet council held by minis ters. Vet it is very poflible that the real fijbjefl was the terms of the ultimatum ; though it cannot admit of a doubt that the ratification will be fuon confirmed, if not already signed. But the question is nnw concerning a particular measure to be fettled between France and Anflria ; the whole continent, must. and, in faft, does take part in the rie gociation. The general interest of Europe appears to have induced Paul the I. to lay aside his refenthient against the Court of Vienna; atld we have not a doubt but that the journey of the Archduchess Palatine to Peter/burgh, in the present Rate of affairs, has f r its obj & to promote the reconcila tions between the two courts. The great influence-, which the princes po/Tefled over themind of her father is well known,and this .influence, joined to the powerful motive of J preserving the political I'yltem of Europe frota total dislocation, it may be presumed, will be fufficiem to reltere harmony between two Imperial- courts. That of Vienna we find, mamfefts no kind of alarm at the great body of Uuffian troops collefting in Poland ; ■which feeme to fliew that it entertains no fears of any attack being intended ort its he reditary Rates. All the powers of the north, and especi ally (he King of Pruflia, are in motion for the fame objeft. A Congress it stilt ta'ked of as soon to take place at Augsburg. The fubje&s are to be difcufied in it will be both a general peace for the continent, ana a new fyilem which may fix the fate of Germany. The inttrefts of lraly, so closely conne&td with those of the German Body, will like . wife not be forgotten Thu# all the pow ers of Eurepe, after having committed the capital fault of permitting the moiftrous colofloiof revolutionary power .to at;ain its P'eftnt gigantic liie, feel at length the ne ceflity Ot uniting agaii.ft it, lo prevent its crufh'ng them. A hostile coalition, foun ded on the principle of re-eltablilhing the French monarchy, would have (aved Eu rope from being deluged with blood, its countries from heing pillaged, and many of , its ' tates from being dislocated, and indeed, annihilated It was tihte, in fafk. that they ihould uuite to arrest the progrels of this tor rent. But -he peace that may be conctu. ded with the present Government of France will riot prevent the political edifice of Eu rope frrm fuffering from timet* time (hocks more less d»nger>us, while France fliall be without a monarchial and bereditory go vernment, by which the power njpy be trans mitted, wiihout contest or dispute from fa ther or son. the family ofligitimate royalty. Till this meaftire fliall be resorted to, the • ele&ive fy■ em will continually engender fa&fons, which will require to be nourished with blood ; and this blood, put in(o fen mentation by revolutionary pafiions, will be perpetually disgorged on the neighboring nations. While every thing announces an approach ing peace on the continent, there is no in*- dicatian that Great Britain will be included in it. Ihe firlt Consul appears even to pro pose to avail himfelf of a continental peace to profecxte the war againit us with new - vigor 5 and he flatters himfelf that he (hall be able to sow divisions between England and the maritime powers, by means of that ar med neutrality, of which hit agents are the Apotlles and the mifiionaries. The minis ter of war, Canot, announces, as we Ha ted yesterday, that vast projefts are medita ted by Buonaparte. A camp has been formed in Britauny, which is daily receiv ing reinforcements. The position of this campaign in the midst of a province at only a little distance from tl.e leu which feparatcs the two countries, recalls the idea of the Army, of England, which vvai afiembled in Brittany two or three years ago. It mtift be intended to be for maritime expeditious what the camp at Dtjon was for thole into Germany and Italy. But it will not be found i'o easy to trofs the ocean as to pals the Alps ; nor mull our enemies expert to find Lord St, Vincent as negligent as. General .M.ilas ; nor cur government paralysed with the stupor which l'ciied that of Vienna, We doubt much, whether ths camp at Amiens, not withflanding the acknowledged fortune of the Firll Consul, inspires his fubjefls with any great confidence of success j and we will engage that it will inspire our Cuuntry men with as little atartn. We believe, on the contrary, that before this camp fllall be orgipized, our expeditions will have carried terror to the coast of the enemy. That which failed from Portfn«outh on the 9th, joined on the 10th the Grand Fleet off Ulhant. It was Hill there 011 the nth, waiting the arrival of-the troops that have failed ftom Cork. From these imttienfev m .preparations, from the profound secrecy that reigns relative to their definition, from the genius of the commander in chief^wlio con 'jurts this great enterprile, we may footi ex peAtihe de ; velopement of a Vist plan, which (has nothing in "common with the partial ex peditions of preceding campaigns.

AT a time, when not only the Govern, ment of our country is threatened with baneful change, if not total dertruflion ; when the pillars of orthodoxy are shaken! and even the finefl ligaments of morality broken by the unprincipled Philosophers of a feft, more profligate than that of Eficu *us, 8c more sceptical than that of Pyurho, it is pleasant to find, a: e\ery station, some, who are conflant to adhere to those Prin ciples moral, virtuous, Ioy;.l and energetic, of which the experience of eighteen centuries has praved the utility. Thel'e -emarks will apply, in general, to many of our Country men, each ia his Order, who are proftipt to keep watch, and ward against the evils ef the JefFerfonian party, and who would draw the fword,.and opei) the purse, to defeat the nefarious plots #f the Jacobins. But what is more immediately in view in the present flatemerit is the I'alutary seal, and well prin cipled attempts of a young individual, who in common with every . ne, encaged in the traffic of Literature, has it in f.me degree in his power to widen or narrow the circula [ t:on of falfe, and immoral publications. When we perceive fuel, a man, (ludions to print, not the travels of Volfiev, the reason of Paine, the ravings of Macleod, or the trafli of Callendtr. hut, on the contrary, thee kin# their dtflemination, andemployinp his tim< , propeity and zeal in the circulation of a work, like " the Pursuits of Litera ture" itislurely, an honorable trait in tie cha;a£ter of a youth of buftneft, and entitles htm to the favorable regard of the virtuous among hi<> Countrymen. We are happy to find that Mr. Dickkns, Bookfeiler in this L 'ty, is of this description of persons, and that, not only his private resolutions, but his proiefiional exertions have an uniform tendency to promote the faireft interefh of the government, the morals,, the arts and sciences of hU country. He is now engaged in printing several valuable publications of I Mr. Murray, and we underfbuid there will Ihortly appear from his Press, a Tcry in teresting examination of the Pretensions of Thomaa JefTerfon, to a Christian Presidency. He has lately procured the affiltance of a Gentleman, (killed in the art of humorous delineations, to exhibit the figure of a cer tain frlf ftiled Philosopher, in those attitudes which bis /rreligion and system of Politics would naturally prescribe. He kneels at | the feet ot G.dlic despotism, he tramples upon the Volume of our belief, and his crld and contemptuous language talks with equal indifference of Twenty tleitirs, or none. We find, from the advertifenfient of the Print in question that it is dedicated to the Philosophers of the.-Mrtt) School " They will recognize the features of their Favor", te, but his principles they will not be induced te re nounce, though the conferences are repre sented in all their deformity. But the Philosophers of the old School, and even "way farinsr men, though fools" will dif. cern the Infidel and visionary projeflor, »;id will acknowledge that the likeness is not only just but the lefTon is wholesome.

When he, with much difficulty, prevailed on the coi»mitte to report two different views of the fame debt, instead of quietly acqmesing, as he promised to do, in this two.fnld report, he brought the very faft of two (laiementi forvvaid fp prove the fallacy of b»>tli ; and although the items in each were identically and Oibthntially the fame, wuh no inaccuracy in fafl, in either, yet the two views of tne lubjeft were laid hold of with avidity by hint, tu cover the bate aflertion, l bat instead of matter of faff, mere itpinims only ad governed tbe report to C rtgreis and tbe World, fee 3d and 4th page of Gallatin's view.

From 8 their own misfortunes, and the, failures of s others, the contractors were un ; able t<? discharge the ballance. , "jThe gen -3 tlemen who had became their securities ' when the contrast was entered into, wer? - iineafy aud apprchenfive that they would be obliged to pay this money, and probably 1 they had no counter-security for tlieir in demnification. General John Wilkini of P.ttfturgh, although, not one of their fecu rities, yet being the brotherinlaw of one, and the intimate fnend of the other contrac* tor, arid having an interelt in the favourable adjustment, not only of their private affairs but of the accounts of the contrast itfelfj came forward in a manner bigl ly hanorable ! to himfelf, and propofsd to Mr. Steel the comptroller of the treasury of the United ] i States, that he would assume and pay this ballance, ptovided : It should be divided in to four eqnal annual installment* with in terest. The original securities for the contrac tors to be exonerated And a mortgage upon real property of General Wilkins, in Alleghany county, Pennsylvania, to be giv en, together with his bond, for the payment of the installments. « I The comptroller agreed to the two firft conditions, but declined the lad ; and pro posed that General Wilkins, instead of a mortgage, (hould givefatisfaftory personal security. General Wilkins (hewed us the corref pondesce with the comptroller, and pre sented the schedule of the property he had offered to mortgage to the United States. He rtquefttd ns to become his securities for the payments to be made to theU' States, and that we should take the mortgage up on this p operty as our indemnity ; at the fame time he informed us, that since his proposal ha i been made t® the comptroller, he had calleded monies which would ret duce tbe demand to 21,000 dollars. f We had no difficulty in complying with ; h'» request ; we ligned. the bonds for 21 ,000 dollars j he at the fame tim« gave | us a mortgage on great part of the lands of fered to the United States, the whole being ( unnecefTary, as part of the money was ready and the property in his schedule was of much greater.value than the ballance origi nally found due from the contractors j 1 hefe bonds and all the money were for warded to the treasury of the United States* asd accepted by the comptroller, who, there upon gave notice to tbe original securities of Scott and Ernest, that they were exon erated. Neither of u? were original security for these contractors, nor has either of us ever had any concern of intereit, direCtly or indi re.dlly jin this or any other contrail with the Federal Government ? and we defy the ma lignity of our enemies to shew that either of us las at any time been indebted to any con tractor or ptiWic officer, so ai to raise a pre emption of obligation either to favour or to bail' him. We (tepped forward at the re quest of our very respeCtable and wealthy friend Gen. Wilkins, to b.iil him in an un dertaking which we thought, and still think, highly praise-wor'hy on his part. He gave us an ample indemnity for doing so ; and ; we have no d fficulty in faying, that had the sum been much greater, had it been payable J on terms more rigorous than those demanded by the United States, Gen. Wilkins would \ easily have found, wherever he is known, 1 the most fatisfaCVory security for any amount ' he would undertake to discharge. £ General Wilkins is. now, and for some ' time part has been absent from this place on public business ; he will no doubt make a fa- c tisfaCtory flatement in due time, of his in- a ducements for entering into these engage- ® ments for the late contractors.
