To have been born an American—tohave
witnlff >q,olution effeded in the
United States, is a species of felicity that
no other race of men has experienced. —
Those, born to&hc^ apd^njoy it, now
fee that it has given dignity to human na
ture—has fhe^n mankind their rights,—
prescribed their dunes- and ameliorated
the condition of the people of almost ev
ery part of the globe. Its effeds in the
cabinets of Europe have been great ; and
to the rulers of nationsit has operated as
an improving lesson. Let us hear ,hht
a British Senator, (the Marquis of Landi
down) has laid on the fobjeft in the Brit
i(h house of Peers, when the bill for pre
venting all communication between the
French and English was in debate :
" As wife legislators, who Ihould ac
commodate themselves to the spirit and
temper of the time, and to the changes
in the publick mind," laid his Lordihip,
" the house ought to make allowances for
the change of opinions which had taken
place in Europe, since the Revolution in
America ; that great event had been pro
dudive of many others ; and no one could
tell hormany more would spring out of
it. Three millions of men in a neighbour
ing kingdom, (the Catholics of Ireland)
who had bent under the weight of oppres
sion, and had been obliged for a century
past, to go upon all fours, now flood ere&
upon two legs like the rest of their fellow
fubjefts. This was an important change,
and ought to influence the legislature in
its future systems ; for a government, in
whichihrec millions of people, who had
Ibeen hitherto doomed to filcnce, and who
now could raise their voice In their coun
' try, must perceive that that very circum
stance would call for serious afterr ion to
- the wishes of the governed. , in Scotland
IThere was a growing Democracy becom
ing daily more powerful, becaure more
' wealthy thro' the medium of commerce.
- These two circumstances would make it
I necessary that government should be pe
culiarly careful to rule the people with
prudence and wisdom ; and to take from
'them all temptation to emigrate from Eu
! rope to Americas;whither he underfloor
ithat many ^f our most ufeful and fkilfui
artificers rind manufacturers were prepar,

ORead a letterfrom the adminiftram, of the de,

mi&'Loan, Sept. 3, which mentions that for
two deyr that department bad been invaded 6,
10,000 men, 3000 of which were cavatyr-
The adminif ration complain very bitterly,
that net the leaf part of the promiJedfapplies,
viz. cannon, 3000 piles, fkilfui cannoneers,
and the equipage uecfffaq for a camp of ten
tboufand, which were to be lent to them in 8
days, bad arrived, although 12 days were then
elapsed. They Jaid that they bad particular
Kca^onfor cavalry—and that if they were a
bandened, Paris would lose the major part es
its supplies ; and their department, one of the
most abundant in France, pould be entirely
ruined. '

That bis prejence at St, Mark's has caused an

With propriety fay, the removal of

Extraa of a letter from Cadiz, September
18, 1793.
'' According to a late treaty of alliance
entered into between this court and that
of England, offen five and defen five, they
mutually agree to do all in their power to
prevent all neutral veffek from carrying
to France, grain, flour, salt provisions,
ammunition, or any warlike stores, or to
the French illands. They will not even
be allowed to carry the produce of said
' colonies to France, and those vessels that
may have such cargoes and bound to
France, will if met with by any of the
marritime powers at war, be detained,and
the cargoes confifeated."
