to ill monarchies , inasmuch as it is a£lually carri ed on against a coalition of men of no property, that it a jK eat majority of the French nation, at the ex pence of those who have, at the expencc of an accumulation of taxes, paid by men of property in different countries in Europe. But those men of property are notimittd among themselves by a com mon interett, like the men in France of no praper ! ty. They are so far from being united, like them, by a common danger, that they are divided by par ticular inlereds. It is probable that another ct-m ---piiign, by an incrcafe of taxes and a growing few sity or dearth of proviiions throughout the whole of Europe, would p-oduce difeonteat among all men ■ of propertv : and thus fove'teign princes, by com-, milting their cause to the uncertain issue of aims, are menaced with those dangers which, by means » of arms they wished to avoid. Ambition or pride ; produces war, war taxes, taxes, difcentents, pub lic murmurs, meetings, anti meafivres for retire Is ; and meet for redress, revolutions in government • It often nappens, that ambition blindly labors for its own deftruftion. The French councils and ope rations againtt the Engliih in America rebounded on t the .po.ver that directed them. Philosophical politieians, or, to avoid all menti on ot the suspicious word philosophical, men atling on comprehensive views orfyftem, before they took any decided part, would have well weighed all .the causes that might produce disunion among the grand confederation. Fird. There might be a disunion of one state from another (late ; commercial dates from mili tary dates; England, for indance, and Holland, cannot hare the fame iuterells as Pruflia* the Em pire and Rufiu. Secondly. A division may take place among in dividual fubjefts of the,fame date j for in all Hates there is a difference between the interest of feudal arid commercial proprietors. Thirdly* The wealthy or rich in all countries, but particularly those under arbitrary governments, are the rriofc felf-interelled ; and, from their man ners and difpofjtions, supine and indifferent, the moil devoid of public spirit ; at the fame time that by their power and influence, they can bring about endless changes in the adminiflration of .jjgyern mentt. While ministers are changed, kings reittain ; but the inlhbility of ministers produces icdability in the principles of government ; and this, by the bye, was one of the principal causes of the revo lution of France. The revolution in, France Has, is fa£t, taken place. Some of the members have separated them selves from the oppoling confederacy, and others are about to fallow their example, The neutral powers mull at lad give the law, and aft as media tor! between the contending parties. It is impossible that the allies can have the advan tage of two parties among the French, the one external the other internal. Two parties placed in futrh different situations, are divided in opinion, as there is no communication them, and ttey I cannot have the fame views of the fame obje&s : I they are divided by pride and mutual contempt, as ; each thinks his own conduit the nobled and moil judicable ; anA'-m.utual pri3e and contempt, lead | ;omawil TUcvi. and division between them in those mutual recrimi nations, which arc the usual confetjuer.ces of rrtif fortune. In fine, they are divided from each other by mutual jealousies arid apprehensions. But if these circtim!lancfs, which reason forefaw, or might ealily have been forefeeri, have been confirmed by experience—if it now appears certain that these two parties of exterior and interior are iocompati bte, it is worth while to observe* how blind the f»- teign powers have been to their luterell in giving their exclusive countenance to the exterior party, in granting them at the very commencement of the war, particular protedtion and confidence. The courtiers of Berlin, Vienna and London, saw ill the courtiers of Verfailk-s their friends, by yvhom on their travels, they have been so well entertained, and (hared in their parties of pleasure. They might fvmpathife with their situation too, from an appre hension that they might, like them, be fubjeCl one day to the inconvenience ariling from la dilapidation desfinances. It was not poflible, in (hort, to have two panics, and the confederates appear to have efpeufed the weakefl. It is now found and humane policy to seek for a termination of the war as soon as polHblet Gire the French peace on reasonable i terms. Either their conflitution will turn out at lad., after many painful experiments and deeds of horror, to be good, or to be bad y to minider,to the comfort of the people, or t« perpetuate their misery. If the former, will it be aflerted, that we ought to mar and ruin the happiness of our neigh bours ? 1-f the latter, there will be no need of preventing the contagion as imitation by the prcf fure of arms. The French, Mi the midfl of royal manifefl»es, ami military menaces fro« different quarters, very deliberately refer to the primary afTcmblies the e leition of two thirds of the national assembly.— This looks as if there were, in the interior parts of the kingdom, great unanimity. SPAIN. The peace between France and Spain it the na tural oonfequence of the naval fqcceffes at Toulon, and in the Mediterranean, under Lord Hood. What is the end of a war, whose success is a disadvantage ! ITALY. The States of Italy must now imitate the pru dent condiift of the wife republic of Venicc. I . GERMANY. It is uncertain, at the present moment, whether the French army, under General Picliegru, have crodid the Rhine, or whether he really wifiies and ' means to paf3 it. There is throughout Germany a general wish and expectation of peace. But are the French to keep poffeflion of the' Netherlands, and the country between the N|eufe and the Rhine? What lignifies whether they llj, or no, after the difm intlement of the barrier towns ? It was on the occaflon of that dismantlement that Great Britain should have interfered in the affairs of the continent. TURKY. The French cadelvour to excite, but the arm of Russia, and that of dearth approaching to famine, reflrairw their ardour* " f RUSSIA . has »t lad a (lifted Britain with a very considerable at squadron of (hips. The Ruffian fleet alone is sup- SI p»fed to be .equal to those of SWEDEN and DENMARK B united. The Dutch republic have fitted out Si a fquadton for bringing home their Eall-India men ; a confidorable number of which have fallen - into our hands. THE BRITISH AFFAIRS AT SEA, under the genius of Lord Spencer, fiourilh greatly. We are now towards ilie conclusion of the war, jud beginning ;o do what we fhatild have done at its commencement ; i. t. harrafs the French at sea, And menace the Seine sad Paris. We have not a ir-inifter pofTefTnig genius to form those enlarged views in peace or war, those extensive arrangements and combinations which ensure success by suppo sing and comprehending them, and providing a gaiiid those accidents by which they might be fruf traced. ' B =========—========== S Philadelphia, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1795. An Anglo-American presents his refpeifts to the V/ellh Clergyman that preached a few evenings since, and would advil'e him for the future, not to blend po - liticks with religion. Your correspOndent is at a lot's to know how the text which the Treacher took, could I lead to a comparison of earthly governments with re- o I'pect to their forms, and what connexion it had with t [ curling Despots ? and which way he could make it oat, that iii travelling 5000 miles in -America, he saw only 5 heggars ? Religion is one thing—Politicsaano n . thcr. i'he pulpit the plactr to warn men to repent 11 of their litis and amend their lives ; the senate-house ft or the coflee-houfe is the place for politicks. 1 The E European, as well as the American Clergyman were h always though to be out of their line when attending to anything other thau the cure of the fouls of their parilhioners br auditors.

That t this e(Feft could not have been produced by the Pre tidcat's after ratification of the Treaty 011 the 14th \ of A ngult, is apparent, since Hammond, who car- 1 ried it with him, did not fail from New-York until t . the 17th of Augud, and wat in Halifax about the r lad of that month, so that there was not time for ( . him to reach Englahd by the 10th of September. < .

"s1 R, _ 1 " The constitution of this country leaves it"a- a motvg the moll sacred and important duties of Bri- J tons, to petition the crown or the legislature upon thepreflure or apprehcnfion of public calamities. " War, while drenching the plains of the conti- i nent with human blood, has only menaced us, by f one 5f its harbingers, famine ; which, with all its 1 horrid confeqaences, is only fufpeoded by a harvell ' far from being plentiful. Its return fcems ine- ] \itable by thr continuance of military measures, 1 which, be their principles what they may, have the peculiar character of producing every where ' the very evils they have profeffed to remedy. " Our offices and situations enable us to disco- j er ver the general sentiment or wish of the country; 1 whidTfcems grounded on a coriyidlion of the abfo fh lute neccllity of a speedy peace ; and we think it a, our duty to request ydhi, fir, to convene the nobi in li'y, gentry, clergy, freeholders, and other inhabi tants, mi very early day, to cot fider and propofc » . fash an address to the threut, a. may accord v.rh that fentfment and w!(K.

How heppens it that those who have mod ria lently declaimed against the Jacobin government are at prefunt the-foremolt in endeavouring to pro long the of anarchy by delaying the accepta tion of the Constitution ? •' Those, who constantly ridicule the idea of a fu vereign people recognize at>laft this fuvereignty in order to ruin us. [f those people are so defiroui of a civil war let thrrn come here to enjoy its bles sings: they fuiround u» on all fides. No, perfidious friends of anarchy, you {hall not succeed ; the people will accept the Constitution, which alone can lave them. If this work of man has, like its author, not yet attained the greatest poflible perfeftiuo, wc may corr«& its faults ia calmer times; meanwhile we may live happier un der its influence till the ftofms of the revolution are over.

England waits onlyfor the decision of the French people in this important affair. Yes, even this ferocious ene my of French prosperity is ready to sue for peace, asfoon as the Conftitution'is accepted.
