The rapid progress of the Ruffian s

For such possession would yield too ex

we understand very important intel

the particulars, but we learn that the
'king, dreading the effects of the spi

power have not been able to ftifte in
the kingdom, has countermanded the
proclamation for the assembling of the

Translation ofa letter from General de
Paoli, to the National Assembly.
THE new division of the kingdom
into departments, is in great
forwardness ; the committee of coefti.
tution having been materially assisted
in their labours by the deputies from
the several province;.
" Mr. President: it is with traaf
ports of Joy more easy to be imagin
ed than expressed, that I intreat you
to make known to the Assembly, o
ver which you preside, the fentimenta
of my most profound refpe&, and
most lively acknowledgement for the
decree which you have passed in fa
vour of my country and companions.
" in admitting Corsica to the per
fed enjoyment of all the advantages
which result from the happy constitu
tion that you have cftablilhed, you
have at length found the most effica
cious means of securing forever the
attachment and fidelity of its inhabi
tants ; And in granting to my expa
tiated companions the power of re
turning & enjoying all the privileges
of French fubjeas, while you mani.
feft your justice and generosity, you
attach to your new constitution a num.
ter of individuals that will defend it
to the lift drop of their blood ; and
the beneficent monarch, the reftorcr
of the liberty of his people, who has
fandioned these decrees, will have no
fubje&a more devoted to his glory.

was given at Mr. Wife's Ta.

fpiciouS day which gave to the world
the illustrious and beloved President
of the United States. The compa.
ry was numerous and brilliant. Ever,
heart expanded with thqfe pleasura
ble emotions which the happy occa
sion naturally inspired. Every coun
tenance was fuffufed with joy, Beauty
always powerful—now arrayed in
univerfat fmiles—ffione with unusual
Splendour. Mod of the gentlemens
present had been witnesses of the as.
fe&ionate and pathetic leave which
the patriot and the Hero had taken of
this town and neighbourhood left
fpring,when called by the uaanimoua
voice of his country to fill the chair
of empire.
In the very room, where they were
assembled together to celebrate
the the day of his nativity they had
seen him laboring with sensations,
almog unutterable, excited by | the
necessity of bidding adieu to those
whom he was pleated to honor with
the appellation of "affeaionate friends
and kind neighbours.'* Upon this
endearing circumstance they reflected
and will continue to reflea with pe
culiar complacency. Long—very
long—may this great and good man
live to receive this annual tribute of
the esteem, the affedion, and the
veneration of a grateful people !
