DISCOURSES ON DAVILA.
No. XXI.—CONTINUED.
—My soul aches, To know, when two authorities are up, Neither supreme, how soon confusion May enter 'twixt the gap of both, and take The one by the other.
SHAKESPEAR.
IN the midst of these irresolutions, the King sent them De Crussol and Saint Andre, to engage them to repair to Orleans. These Lords remonstrated to them, that an Assembly so respectable, and which occasioned so great an expence to the King and the nation, had not been called but on their account, and to satisfy their complaints and demands: That they were there to deliberate on the means of reforming the government, and appealing the disputes of religion; matters of so high importance, that they could not be decided, without the presence and concurrence of the Princes of the blood. That if the Princes of Bourbon, after having so often demanded the reformation of the government, and an examination of the cause of the Hugonots, refused to assist at the States assembled for those purposes, it would seem that they meant to trifle with the King, and insult the majesty of an assembly which represented the body of the nation. That they ought hereafter, to impute to themselves alone, their exclusion from dignities and governments, since they had not deigned to come and receive the authority which the King appeared disposed to grant them, with the concurrence of the States. That this conduct proving their little attachment to the service of the King, and the good of the kingdom, they ought not to be surprised if the firmest resolutions should be taken to extirpate the seeds of discord, and manifest designs to disturb the state. That if the King was disposed to reward such as gave him proofs of their obedience and fidelity, he was equally determined to reduce to a forced but necessary submission, those who should attempt to resist his will, and excite revolts in the cities and Provinces of his kingdom; a crime of which he would suspect the Princes of Bourbon, as long as they should neglect to justify themselves, and their absence and obstinacy should confirm, the injurious reports which were spread concerning them. That hitherto neither the King nor his Council, had given credit to them; but that the King desired that, for the honor of the royal blood, the Princes would give proofs of their fidelity and of their zeal for the good of the state, and would justify the sincerity of their intentions in the eyes of France, whose attention was attracted and fixed by the assembly of the States. These representations made little impression on the Prince of Condé, who was resolved not to risk his person, in a place where his enemies could do all things. But his firmness was, in the end, constrained to bend under the necessity. Crussol returned to court, with an account of the aversion of the Prince, to come to the States. The Guises advised to employ force to determine him. The Queen did not oppose it: and the King took the resolution to constrain them by force of arms. To this end they send de Thermes into Gascony, and began to form under his command, an army composed of Gendarmery and all the Infantry distributed in the neighbouring Provinces.
The Bourbons were without troops, destitute of every thing, shut up in Bearn, a little Province at the foot of the Pyrenees, wedged in between France and Spain. They doubted not, that if, on the one hand the troops of the King assembled in Gascony, and on the other, those of the King of Spain, who ardently wished to invade the feeble remains of Navarre, should attack them, they should easily be subjugated and stripped of their dominions. The insurrections which the Prince of Condé had excited in France, had been attended with no success. He was in Bearn without troops and without money. The King of Navarre who would not expose the rest of his states, nor his wife and children, whom he had about him, yielded to necessity, more powerful than any Councils, and finally determined his brother on the journey to Orleans, in the general persuasion, that, especially during the session of the States, the ministry would not take any violent resolution against them; whereas, by obstinately remaining at Bearn, they would expose themselves to the infamy which always accompanies the name of rebels, and ruin themselves without resource. The Cardinal of Bourbon, their brother, contri-
buted not a little to hasten this resolution. The softness and ductility of his character, his aversion to troubles, his tenderness for his brothers, and the insinuations of the Queen, engaged him to ride post to Bearn, as soon as he learnt the intentions and preparations of the court, to force the King of Navarre and the Prince of Condé to appear at the States. He exaggerated, on one hand, the number of troops destined against them, and the ease of crushing them; and on the other, he assured them that the King and the Queen, had discovered none, but favorable dispositions, and an earnest zeal to re-establish concord and public tranquility. They left, therefore, the Queen Jane and her children, at Pau, and with few attendants, all three together, took the road to Orleans. To be continued.

O D E.
COME ardent love, and fill my breast, Come in thy varied feature dress'd; Collect each scatter'd struggling beam, Awake the lambent fires, And form one general, one destroying flame, 'Till fated Havoc links, and with fatigue expires;
It comes—my labouring bosom swells, I burn with strong desire, Each weaker passion love repels, And lights a general fire. It comes—it comes—I feel the heat In every strong pulsation beat, Quick through the veins its glowings dart, From every pore its sparklings start, And the red life-blood boils about my heart. Alas! I rave! my sense and reason fly, And wild confusion whirls around each eye.
But peace, a lucid hour succeeds— A sport tranquility I feel; My cooling heart in silence bleeds, And the red streams in secret steal. Now o'er creation's ample round, I cast an ardent eye, No objects here the prospect bound, Save yon descending sky. The stream that winds through yonder vale, The bark that counts the kindly gale, The breeze that sweeps the distant plain, And undulates the golden grain; The light and shade, that swift succeed Along the verdure of the mead, Afford no pleasure to my jaundic'd eye, But pall the sight, and force the deep drawn sigh.
My friend whose presence once could charm, My every care to rest, Whose heart, with purest virtue warm, Still warms a friendly breast; Alas! I fly! his presence pains my soul, And love, and black despair, each rending thought controul. To scenes of solitude I go, And sigh unutterable woe; Even rocks, with sympathy, behold me weep, And tears responsive, flow down the craggy steep.
But why! ah! why do I complain! Why tell my passion to the world in vain! All hope of happiness is fled; My dreams of bliss are flown away, A midnight tempest shrouds my morning ray— Despair and darkness veil me in their shade. If I possess'd a DELIA CRUSCA's pen, An ANNA's* ardour, and an ANNA's art, My magic muse, might move *****'s heart, And charm her ear, to hear the love-lorn strain; Then should my numbers roll sublime along, And all my passion glow amidst the long.
Or if my pen in plaintive verse, Would tell the pangs I know, Slow as the sad funereal hearse, The tale should sadly flow.
Or if soft pity, e'er distress'd The heart that warms her spotless breast, Still as the silent streamlets glide, Where nought impedes the downward tide, The follen'd sounds, should lily frail, And learn her yielding soul to feel.
Or if reviving hope should smile, And spread each soft alluring wile; Gaily I'd raise the lively lay, In wanton measure skip, and wildly fly away.
Or if cold frosty fear my breast should fill, And each young joy, each budding transport chill; Cloth'd with despair my every note should move, And deep despondence drown the dying dirge of love.

DR. FRANKLIN.
IT will be a monument of the victory of philosophy over prejudice, that BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, who 50 years ago was a Compositor in London, for 12s. a week, should have lived to be the author of a Revolution, that emancipated a Continent; and that a solemn public mourning should be decreed to his memory by the greatest nation in Europe.
AN ACCOUNT OF THE FAMOUS GERMAN GENERAL LAUDOHN, LATELY DECEASED.
GENERAL LAUDOHN died the 14th of July last at Neuditschein about two in the morning, in consequence of a retention of urine, with which he was attacked on the 8th of June. His death was supposed to be hastened by his refusal to have the necessary cataplasms applied, before the operation of the puncture which his surgeons were obliged to perform; the consequence was a fever, and inflammation of the bladder, which carried him off. He died in the 74th year of his age.
The body was conveyed to Vienna to be interred at Hadersdorf, in a vault which he built himself in the parish church there.
Gen. LAUDOHN was born in 1716, and was a native of Livonia. He made his first campaign under Marshal MUNICH in the war of 1738, between the Russians and the Turks. He was at the taking of Oczakow, Choczim, and Stawutsch-chame, where the Turks were entirely defeated.
FREDERIC the great refused in 1741 to take young LAUDOHN into his services, saying he did not like his countenance: though this monarch, who was considered as the greatest general of his age, afterwards said, that he often admired the positions of other generals, but that he ever dreaded the battles of LAUDOHN.
In the year 1756, when but just entered into the service of the House of Austria, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, he made such rapid progress, that within less than a year, he was general of the Artillery, and within three years, Commander in chief of the whole army.
He rescued Olmutz when besieged by the Prussians, beat the King himself at Frankford upon the Oder, and at Zoudorff took general FOUQUET prisoner, carried Glatz and Schweldnitz by assault and stopped the progress of FREDERIC in a war which might have proved fatal to the house of Austria.
In the year 1778, when elevated to the rank of Marshal, at the head of 60,000 men, he hindered Henry, brother to the King of Prussia from joining his army to that of the King.—So high was his reputation, that FREDERIC used to say, he feared nobody so much as LAUDOHN; and at Dubicza, Novi, Gradisca, and Belgrade he had but to present himself before the place and say with Cæsar, Veni, vidi, vici . The command of the army is given for the present to Field Marshal Count COLLEREDO.
PARIS, July 13.
The answer of the President of the National Assembly, to the 600 Deputies of the National Guards of France.
GENTLEMEN,
At the moment in which absolute power ceased to exist, by the liberation of twenty-five millions of men from the fetters of despotism, it was an object of just apprehension, that the invaluable blessings of liberty would be lost, and anarchy prevail; at that awful crisis, the National Guards appear, and France sees in them the defenders of National liberty.
What functions, Gentlemen, can be so great and noble?—The love of your country is at once the motive and recompense of your labours.—What duty is so useful or honourable?—To watch over the persons and properties of your fellow citizens—to give to them that confidence of their own security, without which no happiness can exist—to promote the free transportation of grain, corn, &c. and to suppress tumults and disorders among the people;—and, above all, to enforce the collection of the taxes, without which no nation can exist—ARE obligations, of the strongest kind.—The National Assembly know, Gentlemen, that you fulfil them in all points.—They have made repeated declarations of their confidence in your patriotism.—They consider you as their children.—This day they receive your homage, to-morrow the Nation will receive your oaths!—at all times you will enjoy the love, the gratitude of your fellow citizens. You have exerted your utmost endeavours to restore the public tranquility, and those endeavours have been crowned with success. It will be a happy day to the National Assembly when they shall transmit to their successors, the task of preserving that majestic fabric, the French constitution, which we are hastening to compleat.—Happy to see you at this meeting, the National Assembly offer to you its honours.

THE ADDRESS,
Offered to the National Assembly of France, in the name of the citizens of the United States of America, on the 10th of July, 1790, by Messrs BARLOW, JONES, BLACKDON, SWAN, VERNON, APPLETON, HUDWELL, JARVIS, and G. WASHINGTON GREENE.
GENTLEMEN,
THE citizens of the United States of America now resident in Paris, struck with admiration at the development and extension of their own principles in your great country, beg leave to approach the holy altar of liberty, and express to the national assembly that ardent gratitude and profound respect, which are due to the fathers of the nation and the benefactors of mankind. The rays of the western star, diffused from a distant portion of the globe, are now met, and reverberated by that rising sun of glory, which floods with light the dominions of France, and begins to illuminate the world.
Irresistible is the energy of truth; and the celerity of her progress transcends calculation. We believed, and we earnestly wished, that the blessings of liberty might one day be understood; that the nations might rouse from their lethargy, and assert the rights of men, in a voice that men could not resist. We believed that enormous luxury and domination would be disrobed of their unnatural charms; that arbitrary kings and rulers, those gods of the earth, would be reduced to renounce their idolatrous distinctions, to mingle with their fellow freemen, and rejoice in the felicity of the race. We believed, that religion, the mildest daughter of heaven, would one day divest herself of the borrowed terrors of intolerance, and change the sword of slaughter, to the sceptre of peace. We now behold those events most astonishingly accelerated; and we feel a dignifying satisfaction, a new and unspeakable pleasure, in standing before this venerable host of the heroes of humanity, who have contended with so much success in the field of truth and on the heights of virtue.
May your efforts and achievements be recompensed with attestations of an applauding conscience, and the blessings of a grateful country; and may the patriot king, who has so generously sacrificed with you on the common altar of the public weal, amply partake with you in all those rewards which gratify the good and exalt the great.
The Monarch who began his youthful career by extending such signal acts of beneficence to a distant nation, then struggling to be free, was worthy to rejoice in thus voluntarily exchanging the splendours of prerogative, and the rod of despotism, for the homage of freemen, and the love and gratitude of fellow citizens. In the acclamations of regenerated France, he may indeed be called the first King of the French; but in the language of the extolling universe, he will be stiled the first King of men.
And now, Gentlemen, we have but one request to make.—We beg leave to enjoy the honor of assisting at that august ceremony which promises to perpetuate the happiness of France. When the men of your nation, in our country, fought and bled with us under the standard of freedom, they taught us to love them. At the present moment, when the establishment of principles here, similar to our own, invigorates the bonds of our union, and attaches us to you by new ties that dignity and strengthen society, exulting in your political elevation, we hail you brothers and fellow citizens! and our hearts overflow with the soft sentiments of a more endeared amity.
At the foot of the same altar where the representatives and soldier-citizens of a great empire shall take the oath of fidelity to the nation, the law, and the King, we should swear an eternal friendship to the French—yes, gentlemen, to all the French who remain faithful to the principles which you have consecrated; for, like you, we cherish liberty; like you, we love peace.
THE PRESIDENT'S ANSWER.
It was by aiding you in the acquisition of freedom, that the French learned to know it, and to love it. The hands that have broken the shackles of freedom are not made to wear them.—The French nation in this respect, indeed, more fortunate than the American, owes her victory to the virtue and patriotism of her King; while seas of blood were the price of yours. Courage burst asunder your chains—reason has dissolved ours. Your country was the first throne of liberty—now she supports herself on the two worlds.
At the feast, which will give to the universe an affecting spectacle of a great union of friends; the Assembly will rejoice to see the citizens of the United States of America, who now present themselves before us. Let us still be brothers, and let the two nations form but one great people.
TRIESTE, July 7.
The Russian Squadron which anchored here, failed for the Levant the 21st of last month, to go to the relief of Major Lambro Cazoni, who has been very roughly treated.
A letter from Segna, dated June 30, has brought us the following important intelligence.
The Turkish fortress of Czettin surrendered to the Austrian troops on the second of July,
LIVERPOOL, August 12.
A seaman, a few days since, fell over the side of the Alligator frigate at Sheerness:—Captain Coffin, the commander beheld, from the man's situation, that he must perish if not instantly relieved; and we must add, to the honor of this officer, that he did not pause a moment, but leaped from the quarter deck, with his uniform and boots on, and rescued the poor fellow from being drowned,—at the imminent risk of his own life!
Well may a Sailor boldly dare, And ardent follow martial strife; For when with death himself at war, He in a Coffin meets with life.
Our fashionable fair seem, by universal consent, to have discarded heels from their shoes; this is one of the very rare examples in which appearance is sacrificed to comfort.
DUBLIN, June 26.
This day, Mr. COONEY, printer of The Morning Post, stood in the pillory erected in College Green, for copying from a London paper the following paragraph:
"The***** was formerly a very domestic woman, but now gives up too much of her time to politics!"
The statue of King William the III. of glorious memory, appeared in mourning—and round the pedestal was affixed, the following inscription.
IN MOURNING FOR THE BILL OF RIGHTS, AND THE LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.
LONDON, July 8.
NEW WAY TO BORROW MONEY.
A FARMER in Cumberland made his will, and in coming home, seemingly from market, he lost it at the door of a very rich old fellow, whose whole thoughts were running upon money. The old fellow found it at his gate, and began to read it. He there found the farmer was giving 500l. to this person, and 1000l. to another, and a farm, in a distant county, to the third. The old man went in and said—"Aye, aye! I always thought this fellow knew how to look about him."
In a few days the farmer came to tell him—"That he was about to set up a manufactory; and if he could lend him 500l. it would much oblige him." The old fellow, who had the will in his head, complied, without hesitation.
In a few days afterwards the fellow broke, and the old man, on enquiry, found that the will was an entire fabrication, and had been dropped at his gate on purpose.
JULY 26.
On the Sunday subsequent to the day of the National Federation, Sunday being the chosen day for mirth and festivity in Roman Catholic countries, a grand festival was given in Paris by the Municipality, or Corporation, to the Deputies from all the other parts of France.
It began by a review of the National Guards of Paris, and was followed by a public dinner at the Corn Market, called Le Halle du blé , which is an immense Rotunda, covered with glass, and with galleries all round. The Hotel de Richelieu , which has extensive gardens, was also employed for this fête, and in the evening, that which particularly distinguished this joyful feast, was a grand ball in the interior Court of the late Bastille : the whole of the ruin was surrounded by a rail, and at the principal entrance there was a transparency with the following inscription:
"Ici l'on danse aujourd'hui."
They now dance Here.
No carriages of any kind were permitted to appear in the street on that day.
In the afternoon there was a Regatta on the river, which was very splendid, but in which there was an accident of the overturning of one boat, by which four persons were drowned. There was to have been an aerostatic exhibition after the review, but the balloon burst.
Aug. 6. Should the present negotiation with Spain finally succeed, it will then be expected that our cabinet should explain, why an expensive armament (upwards of two millions, sterling) was the first step towards it, and what advantages have been obtained to counterbalance the expence?
Crowns and Diadems, from present appearances, will soon go a begging through Europe. It is certain that Leopold, Emperor of Germany has refused the crown of Hungary, in consequence of their deputies having on the 13th of July presented him 24 articles to sign which he could not relish. He read them over, and positively refused to put his name to them, notwithstanding all the solicitations of the deputies, to whom he declared that he was not at all anxious to be crowned in Hungary, and that he had given orders to recall those who had been sent to prepare for the coronation.—It is evident he is not so solicitous at present about the Hungarian crown as the Imperial dignity.—As to the Hungarians they
become every day more insolent in their pretensions—tumult increases—order is forgotten, despised—nothing is heard but demands and threatenings—under pretext of being free every individual wishes to be master.
There were two men ordered for execution on last Saturday, one for a rape, the other for a highway robbery. The former only was hanged, the latter respited, and it is expected will be pardoned on account of his youth. Now most of the newspapers have taken the liberty of hanging both, regardless of the said respite. Quere , has not the unhanged gentleman a good action for a libel, or would he be non-suited on the plea of Lord Mansfield's reputed doctrine, "The stronger the truth, the greater the libel." It is not being true that the man was hanged, as the said newspapers have falsely asserted.
AUGUST 7.
Yesterday Lieut. Macguire was made Post Captain in the British Navy; in consequence of which he immediately entered into the possession of 12,000l. per annum, which was left to him in his infancy with the restriction, that he should not enjoy it until he should have attained the rank of Post Captain.
The French at Vienna requested leave of the Austrian Government to celebrate the National Fête, on the 14th July. It was refused; in consequence of which they left the capital, and effected their purpose at Nussdorf, a small town on the banks of the Danube.
The actual place of interment of our immortal MILTON was on Wednesday discovered. The workmen employed in the repairs of Cripplegate Church dug up a coffin, from the inscription on which, there is undoubted proof that the remains of that sublime bard were there deposited—a circumstance much sought for, but hitherto unknown to the world.
AUGUST 10.
The people of Brabant appear to be determined to compleat their revolution on the plan of the National Assembly of France: Their Congress begins to be unpopular: The Duke d'Ursel who was confined by a sentence of the Council of Flanders, has lately been set at liberty by the people, and declared Generalissimo.
Died in the 87th year of his age, The Right Hon. Francis North, Earl of Guilford, father of the famous Lord North, by whom he is succeeded in his titles and estates.
The affairs of France according to some recent accounts, wear a louring aspect: The armaments of England, Spain, and the King of Sardinia are supposed to have some reference to the posture of affairs in that country.
Letters from France announce an expected change in the French ministry: Mr. NECKER having cleared himself from the aspersions of M. CAMUS, who charged him with embezzling 600 millions of livres, thinks the present a favorable opportunity of retiring. M. St. Priest stands publicly charged with being privy to all the plots for a counter-revolution. M. de la Tour du Pin, has excited suspicions by weakening the garrisons on the frontiers—and has been severely handled by the committee militaire . The Keeper of the Seals, the Archbishop de Bourdeaux is charged with remissness in not forwarding the Decrees of the National Assembly to the distant provinces. M. de Montmorin is known to be a friend to the revolution; but his silence for six weeks respecting the demands of Spain, has appeared singular: He has his share of public odium—and the inflammatory writers are daily endeavoring to rouse and alarm the public mind respecting these matters in such manner as induces an expectation of a general change.
The King of the French has lately been indisposed—but he is so far recovered as to have lost every symptom of fever.
The Baron de Bender, the Austrian General, having presented to the King of the French, a request for liberty to march the Austrian troops thro' a part of France, obtained the King's consent, agreeable to ancient usage established between the two nations: This being communicated to the National Assembly, they decreed that conformably to the decree of 28th of Feb. last, foreign troops shall not be permitted to march through the French territories, except they be authorised by a Decree of the Legislature, sanctioned by the King; therefore the orders issued from the War Office, and sent to the Commanders in the name of the King, shall be considered as null and of no force.
AUGUST 13.
The press was generally what is called hot on the river yesterday evening. The oldest watermen don't know what to make of this business; they say, "that a peaceable negotiation looks like a preparation for war."
The coffee house politicians are all thrown out—for let them talk as coolly as they will about peace over their cups, the next morning they find to their utter astonishment, that the press had been hotter than ever.
Every post confirms the account of the French naval armaments, but whether by immediate order of the King and his Ministers, or the National Assembly, seems equally dubious, as the real

cause of such expensive undertakings, at a time when economy is so very necessary for the French, of all the powers of Europe.
"Although the Gazette bears a pacific appearance, the fitting out the ships here goes on with great spirit and activity; nor is there the least abatement of business in any department at this port."
The decree of the 19th of June obliged the French Nobility to strip themselves of their titles, and efface their arms, and to return to the rank of citizens. A Nobleman enveloped the arms on the pannels of his carriage in a cloud, and wrote under it, It will only pass over : The Commissaries of the district of Bonne Nouvelle, went with the National Guard to his house, when a painter, whom they had taken with them effaced the whole, and in the place of the motto, wrote, It has passed over .
Last week a person of Exeter drowned in a pail of water several puppies, which were kept at the bottom of the pail for an hour, by a mop being placed upon them; and they were then buried in a dung-hill. A child about two days afterwards dug them up; and they all appeared alive, having been revived by the heat of the dung-hill. Mr. Tissot a French surgeon, records in his writings, that a person who had laid under water six hours, had been restored to life by similar means.
SPAIN.—As a proof that the most despotic and the most ignorant countries cannot stop the progressive force of freedom, it is the custom to tie pasquinades, and other articles of information, to the tails and necks of dogs, who are immediately set a running, and thus carry satire into the very Palace. What adds to the joke is, that these dogs cannot be prosecuted.
In addition to this folly, which had never happened, had the government been a sensible one—the inquisition had the folly to name all the prints, pamphlets, and other publications which were forbidden. This of course served as an advertisement, to make people ten times more curious than they were before; and that spirit, and true understanding which the Press alone can give, are rising fast over the dreary ruins of despotism.
The following are the particulars of the attempt to assassinate COUNT FLORIDA BLANCA, the Spanish Minister.
The Count in his way to his official apartments in the Palace, about ten o'clock in the morning, was attacked by a wretch, who made a stroke at him behind, with a dagger. The force of this stroke was fortunately parried by the Count turning suddenly round. This movement, with the resistance the dagger encountered from his cloaths, contributed to save him. The villain, however, not satisfied with one stroke, aimed a second at the Count, though surrounded with centinels and his own servants; but, before he had effected his last purpose, one of the Count's servants seized the monster by the hair, and brought him to the ground. The Minister's wounds were immediately examined, and found to be slight and without danger. He was afterwards let blood, and had some repose, and is now pronounced to be out of danger. The assassin being laid flat, and having lost the arm with which he committed the daring act, drew out his other hand from his pocket, and gave himself two blows, which are not mortal. The account given of the man is, that he had been formerly a surgeon at Buenos Ayres from whence returning poor, he had formed many impracticable schemes, which he had submitted to the Minister, who had uniformly rejected them, as visionary and absurd. These disappointments had affected his intellects. His vengeance was not, it seems, levelled against the Count in particular, but against all the Ministers; and the Count, happening to come first in his way, became the object of it. The least vestige of conspiracy has not been traced; and, from the assassin's known character before, he is pronounced a maniac. It is not certainly known whether he is a Frenchman or a Spaniard. Some say his name is Paul Perret , others Paul Perez .

Study furnishes us with a thousand ways to dispel that uneasiness which makes us unhappy. A mind that is employed easily forgets many things which would make a stronger impression upon it, if it was idle. The grievances of the body are also relieved by study; for the application of the mind to certain objects which please it, hinder it from perceiving the necessities of the body. Even old-age, after a life spent in study, does not discover its infirmities by the disagreeable symptoms which reduce us, as it were, to childhood. It comes on without being perceived. we stoop under it insensibly; but, though at last we drop into the grave, we do not fall into it all at once. Thus did Newton, Boerhaave, and Beaussobre pass their old age, and thus the illustrious Fontenelle. The greatest men among the ancients improved their understanding to the last. Sophocles composed tragedies till he was exceed-
ing old; and it is said that he was not less than an hundred when he wrote his Oedipus. His children, finding that the application he gave to his plays made him neglect his family affairs, commenced a suit of lunacy against him; but Sophocles made no other defence than the reciting the tragedy of Oedipus, which he had just finished, before proper judges of the drama; and, having then asked them whether they thought the play was the composition of a man that had lost his reason, he was acquitted of the charge.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 28.
A few days ago passed through this town, the Honorable General GATES and Lady, on their way to take possession of their new and elegant seat on the banks of the East River, in the vicinity of the City of New-York, where, we doubt not, they will experience "the mind's bright Sunshine, and the Soul's repose."—The General, previous to his leaving Virginia exhibited an example of benevolence and generosity, which heightens the lustre of his Character—highly distinguished as a brave Patriot-soldier, and friend to the rights of Mankind—He summoned his numerous family of slaves about him, and, amidst their tears of affection and gratitude, gave them their freedom—in a manner so judicious, as not only to secure them the inestimable blessing of liberty, but to prevent the ill consequences of a too precipitate and indiscriminate emancipation.
BOSTON, Sept. 28.
Yesterday sailed from this port, the ship Columbia , Capt. Robert Gray, on a circumnavigatory voyage to the North-West coast of America.—This is the second voyage the Columbia has made to the coast—Too much praise cannot be given to the gentlemen, owners of the ship, for their exertions in extending the commerce of America. The native of Owhyhee has returned to the place of his nativity.
NEW-YORK, OCTOBER 6.
Further accounts from England by the last arrivals inform: That the Austrians by a rapid movement have crossed the Meuse; the patriots were surprised in the night and fled, leaving their cannon and equipage. The arms of Leopold are every where replaced in the Pays de Limbourg. The army of the King of Sardinia, it is expected, will amount to 60000 men. In consequence of the convention between the Austrians and Prussians, the intercourse between the two countries, which had been interdicted, is renewed.
The demand of Spain on the court of France greatly embarrasses the latter. France however is arming, and it is said have twenty sail of the line equipped, and a majority of two in the ministry is in favor of adhering to the family compact. The spirit of revolution is extending itself in the subordinate principalities of Germany. A fleet of Barbary Corsairs, consisting of four galleys and a large Xebecque were lately defeated by two Venetian galleys, two sunk, one burnt and the others drove off.
Accounts of the sailing of the Spanish fleet the 20th July, are published in the London papers: the English say they are out to exercise their men.
Capt. Gremardi arrived at Boston, Sunday week, in 39 days from Gibraltar, and informs, that the Spaniards have no idea of peace; they are making every possible preparation for war; the Spanish fleet was out on a cruise.
The prospect of peace between Spain and England appears, according to some more recent accounts, to be overcast; but for the satisfaction of the lovers of tranquility it may be observed, that wars are generally begun in haste: Would mankind but give themselves time to deliberate, and fully investigate facts, they would seldom come to blows; at the present day, Negotiation, among enlightened nations, generally supersedes the sword: Whatever else may be the result of the present armaments, there is the greatest reason to suppose that peace will continue between Spain and England, as, notwithstanding the grumbling of John Bull, there really seems to be no point of dispute—the Spaniards claim an "exclusive right to the Port of Nootka," already in their possession; the English "claim a right to hold the establishment they may have formed, or should be desirous of forming in future, at the Bay of Nootka."
A London paper of the 19th of August received by the ship Birmingham , from Bristol, says, that the British fleet, consisting of thirty-one sail of the line, under the command of Lord Howe, had made the signal for sailing; as the wind was favorable, it was supposed they had cleared the channel at the date of the paper.
The Captain of the above ship positively asserts that the fleet had failed.
A great commotion it is said has been excited in Rome by the French artists in that city, who assumed the national cockade; orders were issued to force it from them, a battle ensued and several were killed. A young woman, wife to one of the Frenchmen that fell, with dishevelled hair and distracted looks ran through the city, exclaiming murder! assassins! to arms! to arms! This operated like a charm, the people armed, and brought the Pope from Frascati to the Capital, where they extorted from him a promise to comply with all their demands.
The fortifications of Belgrade are to be razed to the ground, that it may not in future, from its amazing strength as a frontier, be the scene of bloodshed.
The Congress of the Belgic states have published a circular letter, declarative of their determination to support their independence, notwithstanding the King of Prussia has deserted their cause. A treaty having been concluded between Austria and Prussia, the King of Hungary will immediately be elected Emperor, and proceed to Frankfort for that purpose.
Articles of pacification have been proposed by the Empress to the Porte, in which she has lowered her tone and abated much of her former demands. The King of Prussia appears determined to compel Catharine to make peace, and for this purpose has demanded ships of England and Holland.
The Duke of Orleans and Viscount Mirabeau it is reported, are both arrested, they are impeached before the national assembly for the plot of surprising the King and Queen at Versailles, and bringing them with indirect views to Paris.
The English accounts of affairs on the continent of Europe, especially those of France, wear rather a gloomy aspect, but experience has taught us that full faith and credence cannot be given to them; it will be well therefore to suspend making up a judgment.
Late accounts from France mention, that the court of Sardinia has ordered troops to assemble at Nice, with a train of artillery, and there are not more than two hundred effective men at Antibes, the key of France on that side.
A violent influenza is said to rage in Paris, occasioned by the dampness of the atmosphere at the time of the grand condecora-tion. The King's disorder originated in this.
Two members of the national assembly (Messrs. Barnave and Cazales) fought a duel on the 11th of August. The latter was wounded in the head but not dangerously.
In the year 1780, a series of observations was wrote, calculated to show that the interest of Great Britain was inseparably connected with a fair and equal commercial alliance with the United States. These papers were published in "Parker's General Advertiser, and Morning Intelligencer." One of the principal arguments adduced in support of the general sentiment, was, That in case of a future war, without a commercial connection with America, Great Britain would find it extremely difficult, if not wholly impracticable, to man her navy: "The independence of the United States, it was said, making a difference against Great Britain in her naval strength, of upwards of eighty thousand seamen." Recent occurrences fully justify this opinion. Have they not been obliged to sweep their prisons? And press from their own protections?—Have they not stripped American vessels of American seamen?—And after the rumor of a peace had lulled into security their own seamen, have not the myriads of the fleet been suddenly let loose again, and the press become as hot as ever? And after all their commissioned fleet of 52 sail of the line, turns out to be but 31 only; and these not at sea one month after the Spanish fleet of 32 sail had taken its departure from Cadiz.
The average price of Wheat per bushel, the beginning of August, in London, and near it, was 6s. 9d. sterl.
In an advertisement which appeared in one of the London prints, for the sale of some articles at the custom-house of Dover, on the 19th of May last, appear two most extraordinary productions of French ingenuity in the looking-glass manufacture, viz. two plates, each 684 one fourth inches, by 384 one half inches, or 19 yards long by ten and two third yards broad, a size for single entire plates truly prodigious.
It is reported that great preparations are making in Kentucky for offensive operations against the Indians.
A gentleman from the Western country informs, that the account of Major Douglass's being about to erect a fort or forts at the mouth of the Tennessee on the Ohio, is without foundation.
A spring has lately been discovered on the lake, in the town of Bridport, State of Vermont, the water of which on being analyzed produced large quantities of bitter purging salts, commonly denominated Epsom Salts.
Many improvements have recently taken place in the city of Albany, and its vicinity—new streets laid out—the old ones new paved—and the roads repaired—the inhabitants have all been supplied with leather buckets: In addition to these a laudable spirit of enterprise has discovered itself in the mercantile line; and by the success of a late adventure, the citizens are encouraged to attempt carrying on their foreign trade in a more direct way than formerly.
The enemies of the federal government look with concern on the re-election of so many of the old representatives. This circumstance evinces not only that the people are well satisfied with the proceedings of the past sessions of Congress, but that their attachment to the federal government itself encreases. Why indeed should it not? A government which is the admiration of the whole world; which has given a new face to our affairs; has effected the resurrection of our national credit; restored our finances to system, and which has already raised the character of this country into high estimation, should be expected to acquire more than the bare approbation of the happy inhabitants who participate of its benign influence. It is with pleasure therefore we learn, that a great proportion of the gentlemen who represented the United States in the first congress under the new constitution, will act in a similar capacity in the second. Their tried abilities afford a good presage that the measures they adopt will contribute to the honor and prosperity of their country.
From the Journal of the Keeper of the goal in Philadelphia, it appears that during a period of ten years, viz. from 1780 to 1790, 4061 persons have been confined therein for debt.
The reflections that crowd on the philanthropic mind, in contemplating this account, are painful to the highest degree: Vice, misery and distress, in every form, are the wretched effects of this remnant of feudal and aristocratic tyranny. It is astonishing that amidst the numerous improvements which are daily taking place in legislation, the abolition of this barbarous custom has not been effected: "to prevent the opposed necessity of throwing the body of a fellow citizen into goal for debt, let a law be passed which shall place the risk of credit wholly upon the lender of money, or the seller of goods, unless real security be given for the debt, in which case nothing shall be demanded, or taken, but the said security: By means of such a law much extravagance would be prevented; labor would be encreased; honor and character would be cultivated, and become estimable, for these would be the only means of obtaining credit without real security: It is certainly worth while to try the experiment."
How common is the word honor! How little understood! How often prostituted! It occurs no where more frequently than at a gaming table; where, at the same time, every thought, and every exertion is hostile to its sacred dictates: For what can be more dishonorable than to possess the property of another without a compensation. It may be safely asserted that it requires great practice to steel the bosom against that conscious injustice, of which every lucky novice in the art of gaming is susceptible; habit alone can blunt and obliterate the sense of honor which is congenial to our natures; and this principle is totally eradicated in time from the mind of a gambler.
Yesterday was the annual review and inspection of the Light Horse, Artillery and Infantry of the militia of the city and county of New-York, when about 2000 men appeared, under arms; the whole under the command of Gen. MALCOM.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, New-York, Sept. 28, 1790.
THE following regulations, which have been adopted towards carrying into execution the act, making provision for the debt of the United States, are announced for the information of the public creditors.
WHEN a transfer is to be made from one person to another, the certificate or certificates of the debt to be transferred, must be produced at the proper office, in order that the same may be cancelled, and a new one, or new ones issued, as the case shall require.
When a transfer is desired from one office to another, application must in the first instance be made at the office where the credit exists, whereupon the certificate or certificates of the debt to be transferred will be cancelled, and a special one granted, as a voucher to the Secretary of the Treasury; upon the production and delivery of which to him, a warrant will issue to the office, to which the debt is to be transferred, where the business will be completed. The form (A) at foot hereof, has been adopted for letters of attorney, to make transfers, which, and the directions for completing it, is expected will be carefully observed.
In every case of a transfer of the subscribed or funded debt, the new certificate will bear interest, only from the first day of the quarter, in which the transfer is made. The unpaid interest which may have accrued prior to that quarter, will be paid only to the person, who was stockholder at the time it accrued, or to his special assignee.
Fourteen days before the expiration of each quarter, the books of each office will be closed; so that no transfers will be made, nor, except at the Treasury, will any subscriptions be received, or old certificates exchanged for new ones, on the application of non-subscribers, during that period. Those intending to become subscribers to the proposed Loan, who do not subscribe, prior to the commencement of any such period—or those intending not to subscribe, who do not present their old certificates to be exchanged, or if holders of certificates of the Register of the Treasury, who do not notify to the Treasury their intention not to subscribe, prior to such commencement of such period, will not receive the interest, which may have accrued antecedently, till the end of the quarter in which their subscriptions are made, or in which their certificates are exchanged, or in which they shall so notify their intention not to subscribe. This, the proper distribution of the funds, and the preservation of order render indispensable.
On the subscribed or funded debt, interest as it becomes due, will be paid without production of the certificates issued for the same. On the unsubscribed debt, if any there shall be, the production of the certificates will be necessary, in order to the receipt of the interest, and an indorsement of the payment of it upon the certificates. This however, in consideration of the risk and inconvenience of transmission, will not be required of those who hold certificates of the Register of the Treasury, and reside out of the United States. The form (B) at foot hereof, of a letter of attorney for receiving interest, and the directions therewith, it is expected will be carefully pursued.
FORM of a POWER of ATTORNEY, to transfer Stock.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Sept. 28, 1790.
NOTICE is hereby given, that proposals will be received at the Office of the Secretary of the Treasury, until the 31st day of December next inclusive, for the building of a LIGHT HOUSE, nearly of the dimensions proposed by the late Commissioners of Virginia and Maryland, upon the lot of land on Cape Henry, in the County of Princess Ann, and State of Virginia, lately ceded for that purpose to the United States. It is desired, that the proposals may leave the election, whether the building above the foundation shall be of brick or stone, and as the cost and charges of those materials vary, it is expected, that a corresponding difference will be made in the terms offered.
The foundation of the Light-House is to be of stone, and sunk to the depth of thirteen feet below the water table, over the top of which the pavement is to be laid. The diameter thereof is to be twenty seven feet six inches, with a vacancy of about nine feet in the centre.
The diameter of the base is to be twenty six feet, at which place the thickness of the walls is to be six feet. The height from the bottom of the water table to the top of the stone work is to be seventy two feet, where the diameter is to be six feet six inches, and the thickness of the walls three feet. The form is to be an octagon, having three windows in the east, and four in the west. If it be built of brick, it is to be faced with the glassy kind, if of stone, it is to be faced with hewn or hammer-dressed stone.
On the top of the stone work is to be a floor of joists, bedded therein, planked over and covered with copper, extending about two feet eight inches beyond the wall, thereby forming an eve, which is to be finished with a cornice, the whole having a descent from the centre sufficient to throw off the water.
The lantern is to be supported by eight posts of wrought Iron of three inches square and twenty feet in length, ten feet of which are to be wrought into the stone wall on the inner part at each corner. The diameter of it is to be ten feet, leaving a platform on the outside thereof of about six feet in width. All the work above this is to be of iron and copper. The lantern is to be ten feet high, having a semicircular roof of five feet more, with iron rafters covered with copper. The whole space between the posts supporting the lantern, is to be occupied by the shelves, which are to be made of iron, each shelf is to have twenty-eight panes of glass, twelve by fourteen inches. One of the shelves on the south west side is to be hung with hinges for a door to go out upon the platform, from the outer part of which to the roof of the lantern is to be a frame of iron covered with a net work of strong brass wire, to preserve the glass from injuries by hail and flights of birds in the night.
The rafters of the lantern are to be well fastened to an iron hoop, over which is a copper funnel, through which the smoke may pass into a large copper ventilator in the form of a man's head, capable of containing one hundred gallons. This head is to be so placed as to be turned by a large vane on the spire above it, that the hole for venting the smoke may always be to the leeward. Eight dormant ventilators of six inches diameter are to be fixed in the roof of the lantern.
A close stove is to be provided and fixed in the lantern, which is to be furnished with eight lamps, each capable of containing six quarts, hung in two tiers over each other transversely. There are to be six flights of stairs to ascend to the lantern, the entrance to which is to be by a door covered with copper. The building is to be furnished with two conductors, to secure it from the effects of lightning.
A frame house is to be built for the keeper, twenty feet square, two stories high, with a frame kitchen; the whole to be finished with lath and plaster.
A vault for the storage and safe keeping of the oil is to be built of stone at a convenient distance, twelve feet wide, and twenty in length. It is to be arched, and covered with earth or sand, over which a shed is to be built, and it is to be furnished with eight strong cedar cisterns with covers, each capable of containing two hundred gallons of oil. The entrance is to be secured by a strong door.
Good security for the faithful performance of the contract will be expected. Payments on account will be made at proper stages of the work, and the balance will be paid on its completion; or, if a suitable difference should be made in the terms, cash will be advanced for the purchase of materials and provisions.
The Printers in the several States are requested to insert this.
WAR DEPARTMENT, Sept. 9, 1790.
INFORMATION is hereby given to all the military Invalids of the United States, that the sums to which they are annually entitled, and which will become due on the fourth day of March ensuing, will be paid on the said day, by the Commissioners of the Loans within the states respectively, under such regulations as the President of the United States may direct.

By Order of the Honorable Richard Morris, Esq. Chief Justice of the State of New-York.
NOTICE is hereby given to Lewis M'Donald, of Connecticut, an absent debtor, that upon application and due proof made to the said chief justice by a creditor of the said Lewis M'Donald, pursuant to an act of the Legislature of the said State, entitled, "An act for relief against absconding and absent debtors," passed the 4th April, 1786; he, the said chief justice, has directed all the said Lewis M'Donalds estate, within this State, to be seized, and that unless he shall discharge his debts within twelve months after the publication of this notice, the same will be sold for the payment of his creditors. Dated the 3d May, 1790. New-York, May 7, 1790. (1w. 1y.)
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Sept. 20, 1790.
IT is hereby made known, that the following arrangement has been adopted towards carrying into execution the Act, making provision for the debt of the United States, viz.
Loan-Office Certificates, and those issued by the Commissioners for the adjustment of accounts in the several States, will be receivable only at the Treasury and by the respective Commissioners of Loans within the States in which they were respectively issued. The Certificates issued by the Register of the Treasury, by the Pay Master General and Commissioner of Army Accounts, by the Commissioners for the adjustment of the Accounts of the Quarter Master's, Commissary's, Hospital, Cloathing, and Marine Departments, Indents of Interest, and Bills of Old Emmission, will be receivable indiscriminately at the Treasury and by the Commissioners of all the States. The situation of the Checks has dictated this arrangement for the greater security of the public against impositions by forged or counterfeit paper, and the details which have been adopted from the same consideration for the execution of the business are such, that it will give facility and dispatch, if applications from the Holders of Certificates of the Register of the Treasury and of the Paymaster General, and Commissioner of Army Accounts, and of the Commissioners of the five Departments above mentioned, are made in the first instance at the Treasury; and if applications from the Holders of Loan Office Certificates, and Certificates issued by the Commissioners for the adjustment of Accounts in the respective States, are made in like manner to the Commissioners of Loans within the States in which they were issued. Transfers can afterwards be made to any Office that the Proprietors of these Certificates may desire.
The Printers of the several States are requested to insert this.
