By a letter from Vienna we learn that a mar riage was expected to be solemnized between the daughter of Lrouis XVI and the Archduke Charles. It was prevented by a circumstance quite unfore fcen :— » When the proposal was made to the Princess, (he replied that, however grateful (he might feel at the offer made to her, she could not accept it, becanfe hsr father had, prior to his death, dtfpofed of het hand : (he had protnifed to comply with his will, *"4 .would keep her engagement. fetter adds, that it is not known to whom ftie thus Hands engaged, anlefs it be one of the sons of Count d'Artois; and that several persons who have aceefs to the Court fay, that there has been a fenfiblc coldness on the part of the imperi al Family towards the Princess.

The evil I allude to is a PHARO TABLE, which has lately been established in this city.

(CIRCULAR ) ' To the Free and Independent C itizens "f Friend's and Countrymen, . . . WE are now at a CRISIS in our Njiional Af fairs, awfully important and alnrm;ng. Ine HAi - PINESS and SAFETY of our country is endan gercd, by an unhappy disunion in the National Councils—by the delay of a majority of the House of Representatives to concur in giving operation to the Treaty fyltmnly made by our Constituted Authorities with Great Britain. A Treaty,whit the wifdotn of the SENA TE most deliberately a proved ; which our illuftrioui WASHING"! Ol from the *' conviflion of his mind," has ratifi as expsdient and promotive of the best iriterefts our country ; which he has proclaimed to be t « law of the land and " enjoined and requit d all persons bearing office, civil and military, wit! in the United Stales, and all others, citizens or inhab itants thereof, or beirfg within the fame, te execute and observe the fame accordingly." Should the house persist to rtfuCe their concur rence to give operatioß to that treaty, PEACE, with her smiling train of attendant bleffmgs, may be expelled from our country ; and WAR ! hor rid WAR ! with all its varied and multiplied de flations be introduced in her (lead. In such an event, Our coUßtry, now the afylutn of LIBER TY, and by all esteemed the most happy in the world, may shortly participate in the diltrefies and convulsions of Europe. It may experience soon a fad reverse of its present envied and happy fltua tion ; and exhibit a Unking and fad Icffon to the world, of the iire effe&s of being led by our pas sions, instead of following the di&ates of reason.— If such be our present critical situation, such the alternative befoie us, it is impofiible to doubt as to our choice—We cannot hesitate to follow where WASHINGTON leads —weTiuffl prelerTsscF. to War atod Dijirejs. With these impreflions, the inelofed memorial to Congress, praying for the execution of that Trea ty, has been signed by more than 1300 citizens ; and their doings and fentimentt have been approved and adopted by the town, at a meeting the most numerous perhaps ever known, and one specially called with the design to reprobate instead of ap proving. The details of their proceedings you will find in the inclosed printed paper, and the do ings of several other towns, which have puffed with a unanimity unknown on any foimeroccafion. As the object of these memorials is of the great est national importance, and the sentiments of our brethren in the country will have much influenee in promoting its attainment, we request your con curreuce ; persuaded, that with a union of fntereft, there will be a coincidence of feeling and opinion, in support of the laws and constitution, and in favor of a fair and honorable compliance with our nation al engagements.

" At the supreme court which was holden last week in Northampton, the collc&ion of people from every part of the county was considerable, and the unanimity exprefied by all descriptions of citizens unexampled.

A war with Great Britain ; a renewal of Indian hoftilrties and the deftru&ion of our own government, with perhaps dotireflic or foreign usurpation will proba bly be the firft fruits of this ra(h procedure.
