THE PAPAL POSTER
Approaches rapidly towards the verge
of a serious abridgment, if not annihila
tion : Many of the principal towns thro,-
out Italy were at the date of our accounts
in a state of fermentation little short of
rebellion. The excessive abuse of ecclq
fiaftick authority—the enormous taxes —
the arbitrary law and the prejudiced and
partial administration of them have at
last roofed the people to a sense of their
own consequence ; they seem refolded to
throw off the heavy yoke of Church sla
very, and with it the blind superstition
attendant thereon. Milan, amongst these,
appears the foremoft ; her remonstrances
have been scouted from the foot of the
Aufrian and Papal thrones ; and her in
habitants are now determined to find that
redress in themselves, which Austria and
proud Rome deny ; and have established
Malitia, a Council,and Courts of Justice,
according to their new ideas of liberty
and laws ; and the general opinion is,
that unless their complaints are immedi
ately attended to by his Holiness, and by
the House of Austria, and thereof remov
^tiNyas will kindle a flame in Italy,
'which n\sy soon spread itfelf through eve
ry province thereof.

Affairs do not, appear so favourable as
our wishes. The dread ofa Counter-Re

the Clergy, on the loss of their property ;
keep the nation in a ferment inauspici

tity of paper money, although it affords
a temporary relief to the Treasury, will,
we fear, in the issue, add to the national
embarrassment. The Duc de Orleans

THE PRESIDENT of the United

and consent of the Senate, has, been
pleased to make the following appoint
ments:-
One great object of the Con ftitution in
providirig for ri National Militia in the
United States, mod undoubtedly was, to
preserve some proportional equality in
the strength of the several parts of the I
Union—but Except a foperviting power !
Should be exercised by the general govern- I
ment, it is evident that particular dates 1
may, and will make such regulations in^
their militia, as will create in those dates•
the matt attentive force that pay bf
paramount to that of their Neighbours ;
arid an agreement of several flats in such
a plari of discipline, would produce a
military power that would give law io
the Union. This power exitls in the
refpedive ffiates, until it shall be assumed
byCongrefs agreeable to the Constitution. f
Experience, has proved, that left at large
in the hands of the several states, a rival
military spirit has been generated{ which
has produced the great^ft disparity be
tween the militia of different states—a
divifioh of the power to regulate the mi
litia, reduces the defence of the United
States to a nullity—Whst will be the
consequence ? The general government
is left without a resource in any emergen
cy, except in a Randihg army ; so that
the result is this—Whether the general
government (hall so arrange the militia
as to have a force of this description, at
its command, or whether it must have
recourse to a Handing army ? For a go
vernment without the sword as well as the
purfejs but the Skeleton of a government.
A gentleman who arrived at Charles
ton S. C. some time since, reports that
carnage and depredation have again ad
vanced, to desolate thb frontiers of Geor
gia—a barbarous murder having been
committed by a party of Creeks on a ref
pedable citizen: They arfaffinated him
by nig§t in his house, which they pillag
ed ; and Hole four horses. They were
pursued by a number of inhabitants, who
penetrated into their country; when the
savages assembled, the whites Were oblig
ed to retreat in turn, and one man re
ceived 1 wound from the Indians.

The present formidable ficuation of the

the means of preventing the long tasked of

One fact will outweigh a Thouffy4
delamatory speculations. Before thq

muff FEEL the beneficial eft^s of the
Funding.Ad—notwithftanding ail that
has been said about their " ignorance" of
it. The system of " Final Settlement,,
