, TheConful atNewyork,we are told,
has received information from France,
late as Sept. 3, which states: That
the National Assembly had made con
\ fiderable progress in forming a glorious
Conftttution for that kingdom, which
it was fappofed would be in operation
, by~the middle of the prefect month :
That the regular troops of France had
Imade a union with the Militia, under
■ the Marquis de la Fayette ; and by
their active operations had put an en
tire flop to the depredations of the
mob ; and the profpe& of France was
speedily to become not only tbeGreateft
and Nobles, but the Free, Nation in
A Europe.
P Extract of a letter from Lynchburg dated
Sept. 18.
" Late last night, a travelling to
man was taken sick on her passage
through this town, and this morning
she was fortunately brought to bed

is supposed to have been got by aPen
fioner ; and as it is the firft of the
fafhion, it is to be hoped Congress
will do something for the ufortunate
mother and child."
Ahappy revolution of sentiment
is ob served to have taken place thro'-
out the United States :—Local views,
and narrow prejudices are univerfolly
'reprobated. —A generous, national
spirit, pervades the whole Union :

to give 30 or 40 per cent. interest on

longing to the Court, who owed him
large sums, is the cause of his bank
ruptcy.
Capt. Rice, immediately on his ar
rival at L'Qrient was prelented, by
a patriotic Lady, with the National
Cockade, which she put into his hat
—he was then enrolled with the mili
tia (as were all the Americans there)
and was several times on duty : the
Americans being considered by the
citizens as their fall friends, in whom
they could clolelv confide, had every
mark of refped paid to them which
gratitude is capable of inspiring.
Capt. Rice, further informs, that
the citizens of France had been ex
tremely jealous of Great Britain, du.
Ting their struggle for liberty, in con
sequence of which the guards were
doubled at the maritime ports, and
every precaution taken to ward off
the danger, which they imagined they
were threacned with ; but that this
jealousy had entirely subsided.
Capt. Rice left at L'Orient the
schooner Capt. Dunn, from Bof
ton ; and a brig from Newburyport,
Capt. Baily, who expeded to fail in
10 days after Capt. Rice.
The English turn every thing into

By Captain Samuel Prince,
who arrived here last Saturday from
Martinique, we are informed, That
the inhabitants of that island had cho

General for permission to sing TE

little altercation,permiffion was grant

cession took place at Port Royal of the
inhabitants; to which the Americans
in harbour were invited, and requeued
to join their Flag with the National

cothough the principal streets, and
returning to the Church, the Flags
of 'he two nations were solemnly con
secrated, & placed in the Altar, there
to remain as the emblems not only of
mutual friendfhip, but as Ensigns of
Virtue, Honour, Patriotism and Liberty.
Afterthe Procession was over, and the
Flags disposed of, the General, the
Count de VioMenieL gave the A
mericans a peine invitation to dine
with him and officers, at his house ;
and shewed them on this occasion every
mark of attention and affection#

And the stern brow and harsh voice

The stubborn virtue of his foul can

That flings the thunder, from the sky,
And gives it rage to roar and strength

Should the whole frame of nature

And stand secure amidst a falling

Peace is, most certainly, the wish of
the Rulers of the United States ;
but our government is now so well or
ganized, that it can oppose to info

Capt. Prince also informs; that
every perlon, American or native—
to avoid incuring the displeasure of
the people, are obliged to wear the
National Cockade—Two of which
