: ANNIVERSARY^FRENCH FREEDOM.
The Grind Confederation of our gallant Allied
bp the anniversary of their Freedom, is an event
that has interested the two worlds. It was cele
brated the 4th of July. It is not in oar power to
describe this Fete. —The best powers of description
would be inadequate to doing it justice—we must
content ourselves with a humble &etch. After
%Drum and other pious exercises were performed
the NATION, by its Delegates, in solemn,
magnificent Procession, proceeded to the Champ de
Ma%. On an immense Amphitheatre, and on
Rights on benches, thirty in number, one above the
other, and surrounding the altar or LIBERTY,
this prodigious multitude of all ranks and sexes,
estimated at 300,000, was seated.—Their Majes
ties took ffitir places in a superb box eroded for
the ocetfion, and elevated about 15 feet. After
,'' A most melancholy accident happened at Bath
(in England) the latter end of June.
" Miss Utoph, of Russel street, had ordered a ;
fire to be lighted, in the parlor, and was (landing
before it, when her favorite little dog jumped up|
to be carreffed : Hooping down to fondle him, her;
dress, which was muslin, caught fire. Her fitter,
who was in the room, instantly ran to her affift-|
ance, and endeavored to extinguish the flames, but
without effied. She immediately ran into the 1
street, screaming out her lifter would be burnt to
death. By this time Miss Utoph got into the pas-
Cage, where the draft of air meeting less, She was
entirely in a blaze, whena gentlenran, an opposite
neighbour, ran over and threw his coat upon her:
(he-would otherwise have been consumed to allies
on the spot. In endeavouring to save herfelf, the
fingers of her left hand were entirely burnt off,
and the was otherwise very much disfigured. On
her being carried up ftaires, (he blessed God that
she retained her senses ; but notwithstanding every
medical assistance being applied, she expired the
next morning in great agony.
u The younger Miss Utoph had like to have
shared the fame fate; her eloathes caught fire, and
a great part of her hair was burnt off, which threw
her into convulsions."

PARIS, JULY 16.
WHEN the officers of the National Guard
went to pay their refpeds to the KING at
the Thuielleries, the 13th inst. M. de la Fayette
addressed his Majesty in their name, alluring him
of their loyalty and gatriotifm. To this assurance
his Majesty made the following answer:
" lam very deeply rm,reffid with these ttfimcnies
es love &gi attachment, whicbyou express in the name
of the cohfederdie body es the National Guardsl
“ Ma, the Jolemd day on which you are about to
renew,our oath to the constitution dispel ever, diffin
tion, refore tranquility, and make the Laws and the
Libert, of the Kingdom triumphant. , '
" Defenders of the public peace, and friends to Laws
and to Liberty, remember that your frft duty is to pre
ferwe peace, and pa, obedience to the laws. That the
advantages of a free constitution ought to be equal to
every one. That the more freedom you possess, the
greater is the offence, when the liberties and property
of others are invaded—and the more criminal is ever,
ad of violence which is forbidden by the law. _'
«' Tellyour countrymenibat it would give me plea
sure could I speak the fame language to them all, that
I now bold to you. Tell them their King is their fa
ther, their brother and their friend;—that his only
happiness is their welfare—bis grratnejs is their glory
—Lis power is their liberty—bis riches is their prof*
erity, and his fufferings is their misfortunes. —Let
ibefe words, or rather theft sentiments of my heart be
shade known in the mos bumble cottages, and in the
recesses of the unfortunate. Tell them it is not in my
power to acquaint them personally with these my fenti
snents, but l will watch over them with tenderness,
and protoß test feeble. In Jhort, let the different pro
vinces of ny kingdom be made acquainted that the foot
er circumflances will permit me to accomplifo the inten
tion I have formed to visit them with m, family, the
fboner will my heart be at^efe." ~

another invocation to God—the fadiaion of the
standards—and the celebration of High Mass, the
Nation thus assembled, proceeded to the great
objetft of the day. The Major-General having
announced the fotemnity, this vast Assembly all
rose, and the King approached tb> Grand Altar,
and swore, in the presence of God, and of Three
Hundred Thousand of his people-si CITIZEN,
KING OF THE FRENCH, DO SWEAR, &c.=
The Prefideot of the National Assembly then took
the oath to the nation, the law, and the King.—
the Members followed—then Sieur de la Fay
ette, and every individual of this mighty assem
bly, with uplifted hands, pronounced the words,
,e le jure, and rent the air with acclamations.
—To Deem was then sung , and never was there an
occasion where a solemn thanksgiving to God was
more proper, or when it was given with more fer
vour of devotion, Or a purer gratitude of heart.
The performance was Jofty. beyond the power of
description. Never did France fee foch an or
chestra, and never surely did the world behold foch
an audience. Their numbers baffled the eye to
reckon. Their shouts rent rhe frier, when in the
enthusiasm of joy, they mingled acclamations of
capture with the affufions of piety; and yet, in
their attention to the grand and fotemn parts cf
the national paflion, silence the most profound
leafed the interett that they felt, and decorum,
orders peace, and concord reigned through the im
mense multitude; ; .
We cannot difmiffrthis flretch without noticing
that the Sieur de la Fayette, and Sieur de
Gouvion, were honoured by the King of the
French, with the direction of this magnificent Fete,
the former with the rank of Major-General,
and the latter of Major General tn fecond —and
that both theft officers served in the American
army;=''.
