DISCOURSES ON DAVILA. — No. XVII. (CONCLUDED.)
Ses mains, autour du trône, avec confusion, Semaient la jalousie, et la division.
THE Admiral Gaspard de Coligni, had two different governments; that of the Isle of France, and that of Picardie; but as the laws of the kingdom, permitted not the possession of more than one dignity, or one government at the same time, the late King had destined that of Picardie, to the Prince de Condé, to appease his resentment and soften his complaints. The Prince earnestly desired this favor, to which, indeed, he had just pretensions. His father, and the King of Navarre, had successively held it; and the Admiral had resigned it, in consideration of the Prince. But the death of Henry II. happening near the same time, had hindered the effect of this arrangement, which had already been made public. Francis the II. had no regard to it. At the solicitation of the Guises, and by a manifest injustice to the Prince, he granted this place to Charles de Cossé, Marechal de Brissac, a captain of high reputation and great valor; but who having been promoted by the favor of the Princes of Lorraine, was closely attached to them and served them with zeal. Nor was there more attention paid to Francis of Montmorencie, the eldest son of the Constable. He had married Diana, natural daughter of Henry II. In consideration of this marriage, he had been promised, the office of grand master of the King's household, a place which had been long held by his father. From the first days of the reign of Francis II. the Duke of Guise, took it for himself, that he might add this new éclat to his other dignities, as well as deprive of it, an house which he wished to depress. Thus the Duke and the Cardinal, embraced with ardor, every occasion of mortifying their rivals, and aggrandizing themselves. The Queen mother, who foresaw that this unlimited ambition and this violent hatred, must have fatal effects, desired that they should act with more moderation, management and dexterity; but she dared not, in the beginning, oppose herself to the wills, nor traverse the designs of those, whose influence was the principal support of her authority.
At this time the Bourbons, excluded from all parts of the government, banished from court, and without hopes of carrying their complaints to the foot of the throne, beginning to reflect upon the situation of their affairs, and the conduct of their enemies, who, not content with their present grandeur, labored by all sorts of means to perpetuate it, resolved, to remain no longer inactive spectators of their own misfortunes, but to prevent the ruin that threatened them. To this purpose a convention was called, and we shall soon see what kind of convention it was. Anthony King of Navarre, after having left in Bearn his son, yet an infant, under the conduct of the Queen his wife, as in an asylum, at a distance from that conflagration, which they saw ready to be lighted up, in France, repaired to Vendome, with the Prince of Condé, already returned from his embassy; the Admiral, Dandelo, and the Cardinal of Chatillon his brothers, Charles Compte de la Rochefoucault, Francis Vidame de Chartres, Antony Prince of Portien, all relations or common friends, assembled also, with several other noblemen attached for many years to the houses of Montmorencie and Bourbon. The Constable, who, altho' to all appearance wholly engaged in the delights of private life, secretly set in motion all the springs of this enterprize, had sent to this assembly at Ardres, his ancient and confidential Secretary, with instructions concerning the affairs to be there agitated. They took into consideration the part which it was necessary to act in the present conjunction of affairs. All agreed in the same end, but opinions as usual, were divided concerning the means. All equally felt the atrocious affronts committed against the Princes of the blood, from whom the Guises had not only taken the first places in the government, but the small number of dignities which had remained to them. They saw evidently that the design was nothing less, than to oppress these Princes and their partizans. All perceived the necessity of preventing so pressing a danger, without waiting for the last extremity. But they were not equally agreed concerning the measures proper to ward it off.
PHILOSOPHICAL REFLECTIONS ON THE LATE  REVOLUTION IN FRANCE, AND THE CONDUCT OF THE DISSENTERS IN ENGLAND; IN A LETTER TO THE REV. DR. PRIESTLEY.
BY J. COURTENAY, ESQ. M.P.
QUO, QUO SCELESTI, MITIS ? — HOR.
London, printed 1790.
CONTINUED FROM OUR LAST.
I SHALL now proceed in demonstrating, that the Christian religion is to all intents and purposes abolished in France—and that the National Assembly have covertly and insidiously introduced a system of atheism in its stead. The senate of democrats have commenced their impious scheme by abolishing tythes—a provision appropriated and sanctified, jure divino , for the comfortable support of the clergy, by Heathens, Jews, and Christians. They have sacrilegiously presumed to seize on the ancient revenue of the church, under the impious pretext of public good—of encouraging agriculture, by easing the peasants of an unequal and oppressive ecclesiastical corvée —and of providing a better and more suitable maintenance for the secular and parochial priests, who alone perform the respective duties of their function. Thus have the National Assembly reduced atheism into a system, by seizing on the lands of the clergy, with an avowed design of either pledging them as a security for the national debt, or selling them to Turks, Jews and Infidels, for the discharge of it. Besides, if bishops, arch-bishops, abbés, and the superior and dignified ranks of the hierarchy, are deprived of riches, immunities, power, and grandeur, how can they shew their contempt of them contempt of them? You invidiously snatch from these Seneca's , these Christian stoics, the sublime merit of optional virtue, by compelling them to practice temperance and moderation, not from choice, but necessity.
A similar sacrilegious attempt to abolish tythes in Ireland, is a melancholy proof of the turbulent and innovating spirit of the present times. The depressed state of the clergy too evidently appears by the style of their writings. Their arguments are singly founded on the impolicy and injustice of depriving them of a provision, sanctioned by antiquity, and solemnly entailed on them by the laws of the land. They have given up the vantage ground on which they stood, stript themselves, of the celestial armour, the panoply divine, with which they were clad, and have rashly ventured into the field naked and unarmed.
They have succeeded accordingly. If the clergy once weakly admit the profane interference of parliament; if they once admit, that this provision may be modified, and even abolished by the same authority; if the contest is merely to rest on the fallacious deductions of human reason, it would indeed be difficult for the church to maintain the argument. Even the specious statement of the celebrated author of the wealth of nations has little weight with me; for granting that tythes are often a fifth, and even a fourth, instead of a tenth; though they are a check to industry, &c. still the more unequal and more oppressive this sacred burthen may be, the more meritorious it is in those who submit to it from a conscientious motive, without murmuring and repining. A leading member of the Irish House of Commons (Mr. Grattan) has expatiated in his usual stile of energetic, but delusive eloquence, on the great advantage which the church would derive from an act of Commutation.—Law-suits, Bickerings and animosities, he asserted, would cease at once; and the mild spirit of peace and Christian charity, would mutually endear the pastor and his flock to each other. The clergy, no doubt, are perfectly sensible of this; and only persist in claiming tythes, as being their exclusive property by divine institution; and thinking that by accepting any commutation, however beneficial, they would betray the cause of God and religion.
And now, Sir, permit me to address you, in the most serious manner, on the most serious subject. What can the madness of democracy alledge against episcopacy? Were not bishops instituted by the apostles themselves, to enlighten and govern the primitive church? Though they soon displayed an exterior pomp and splendour in their vestments, and in the celebration of divine worship; though they assumed imperial grandeur, inhabited palaces, ascended their thrones, though
they censured, controled, and excommunicated emperors; yet they only submitted to this pageantry, and reluctantly exercised this temporal power, merely to impress the congregation of the faithful with a holy awe and veneration for the MAJESTY of the church; well knowing that sound morality and the social duties could rest securely on no other basis. Dr. Mousheim's misrepresentation on this very interesting point, is deservedly treated with contempt.—That bold and insidious writer, under the specious pretext of candour and moderation, inspires his readers with an aversion to all ecclesiastical power, and with indignation against the clergy, for having invariably fomented religious controversy on mysterious unintelligible tenets; for encouraging persecution, and promoting the misery of mankind in this world, by infusing into their minds a spirit of hatred, malice, and uncharitableness; which at last became the theological characteristic of every various discordant sect of Christianity. But if this ecclesiastical historian had been candid, [even allowing the fact,] he should have fairly acknowledged that the unrelenting virulence and embittered rancour of persecution are the most infallible criterions of true belief, and the best proof of a fervent and sincere zeal for religion. As each sect stigmatized its antagonist by the odious denomination of heretic,—Arians and Athanians, mutually actuated by the purest motives of brotherly love and affection, inflicted a momentary and transient punishment on the bodies of each other, either by the sword or the stake; lest by continuing too long in their respective schismatic opinions, they might forfeit all hope of salvation.
Thus the same actions, erroneously considered on mere abstract notions of philanthropy, may well appear unjust, cruel, and barbarous; but their very essence is changed when viewed through this just theological medium; for the genuine and beneficent spirit of orthodoxy consecrates the apparent inhumanity of the action, by sanctifying the motive. (To be continued.)
FRANCE. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. Sittings of May 26.
THE incendiary protestations of those who style themselves Catholics of Nîmes, and the declarations of those disaffected to the Assembly, become more and more despicable. The city of Louis-le-Saulnier seems still to lay some stress on these writings, in declaring all those traitors to their country who dare to sign them.
Clermont Ferrand, who had subscribed five millions to buy National domains, has by an Address read this morning, offered to double the value of its former donation.
M. Tour du Pin made some complaints, 1st. Against the Municipality of Haguenau, which kept in the prison a hussar, for whose liberty this minister says he had given orders. This business was sent to the committee of reports. 2d. Against the Municipality of Lyons, which has written to him, that they think at present there is some danger in putting into motion the troops of the line, in consequence of which they refuse to let the detachment of the Royal Guienne set off. The intention of the Minister of the war department was to fill their place by a detachment of the Penthièvre dragoons. The Assembly made no decree on this grievance.
M. Bailly rising, exposed the disorders which for these three days past have troubled the capital. A number of foreign vagabonds swarm at the bar: the people incline to the most cruel executions. On Monday two men accused of theft were hung without any form of law. Yesterday another who was accused, had the fatal cord already fastened, when M. de la Fayette came up and saved his life: and when one of these madmen, who stirred up the multitude, cried out, that the unhappy wretch ought to be retaken, the illustrious commander himself immediately seized the disturber and conducted him to the Chatelet. A new species of courage, and a sublime homage paid to the laws!
MAY 29.
The debate on the order of the day, relative to the Ecclesiastical plan, was about to be opened, but it was interrupted by the entrance of M. Neckar, who read a discourse on the present state of the Finances. The tone of that Minister was changed.—He no longer presented those gloomy and desperate pictures, which, since the

revolution, had so frequently afflicted the Assembly. His discourse breathed nothing but the most consolatory prospects.
The Deputies of the Municipality of Marseilles, heard at the bar, amply vindicated the conduct of their constituents.—They had, in obedience to the decree of the Assembly, suspended the demolition of the forts, but the rage of the populace was not to be restrained.—A striking circumstance, mentioned by one of the Deputies, almost justified the popular emotion:—“On one of the corner stones of the Citadel,” said he, “were found inscribed,
“Louis the Great ordered this Citadel to be constructed to prevent the citizen of Marseilles from abandoning themselves to the delirium of Liberty!”
B E R L I N, May 22.
Immediately upon the decease of Count Schulenburg Blumberg, who died very suddenly on Sunday last, the King sent for Count Schulenburg Rebner, who has lived retired upon his estate near Magdeburg, for near two years, reinstated him in all his former offices, and appointed him President of the War, with the title of First Minister of War. It is thought this change will be followed by others.
B A S T I A, May 21.
The States have resolved to cite the Dukes d'Ursel and d'Arenberg, and Viscount Walkies—and in default of their appearance, to confiscate their possessions.

Extract of a letter from Lisle, June 3.
The Legeois are said to have been beat by the Palatines near Maestricht.
The people of Menin and Ipres who were on their march to Antwerp to liberate General Van der Merck, have been stopped by their own countrymen in Flanders, who pointed the cannon at them, and forced them to retreat, instead of increasing their numbers, as was the general opinion. The influence of the aristocracy has corrupted the minds of the Flemings, and produced the same alterations of sentiment as their sinister machinations have effected in Brabant. It has also prevailed so far as to drive away the noble defender of the oppressed, General M. Sandelin, whose firm and undaunted language of truth to the Congress, sufficiently accounts for the opposition to which he is now become another victim—they have instituted a criminal process against him—and he has been obliged to fly from Ghent.—You may judge by the inclosed translation of his memoir, how inveterate must be the enmity of those ambitious minds against a man of his sentiments.
The festival of unity between the troops and the national guard, concluded on Wednesday—the Mayor of the town, and the commander of the national guard and garrison, were drawn in a splendid triumphal car through the city—after which they all adjourned to an elegant dinner at the Nouvelle Aventure.
In the evening a large party made an excursion to the Abby de Loos, where they emptied the cellar of all the wine the Monks had in store. The latter seemed to give it with the best grace in the world.
Great preparations are making on the Esplanade for the general confederation of the National guard on Sunday next. A magnificent temple is erecting for taking the oath.”
L O N D O N, June 5.
A young man in a fever who had been ill several days, apparently died last week at Chester.—The apothecary, upon examining the body found a little warmth about the regio carthiaco—on which strict orders were given for the body not to be laid out, and proper means were advised to be employed. The next day he remained nearly in the same situation—as the warmth of the breath still continued, similar means were pursued, and on the third day signs of life appeared. This instance of the return of life should awaken caution, and prevent inconsistent hurry in laying out the dead, and precipitating the funeral ceremonies.

By Authority.
GEORGE WASHINGTON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
W HEREAS a Treaty of Peace and Friendship, between the United States of America, and the Creek nation of Indians, was made and concluded on the seventh day of the present month of August, by HENRY KNOX, Secretary for the Department of War...
A TREATY of peace and friendship made and concluded between the President of the United States of America, on the part, and behalf of the said states, and the undersigned Kings, Chiefs and warriors of the Creek nation of Indians, on the part and behalf of the said nation.
The parties being desirous of establishing permanent peace and friendship between the United States and the said Creek nation, and the citizens and members thereof, and to remove the causes of war by ascertaining their limits, and making other necessary just and friendly arrangements...
ARTICLE I.
THERE shall be perpetual peace and friendship between all the citizens of the United States of America, and all the individuals, towns and tribes of the upper, middle and lower Creeks, and Semanohes, composing the Creek nation of Indians.
ARTICLE II.
The undersigned Kings, Chiefs and Warriors, for themselves, and all parts of the Creek nation within the limits of the United States, do acknowledge themselves, and the said parts of the Creek nation, to be under the protection of the United States of America, and of no other sovereign whosoever, and they also stipulate that the said Creek nation will not hold any treaty with an individual state, or with individuals of any state.
ARTICLE III.
The Creek nation shall deliver as soon as practicable, to the commanding officer of the troops of the United States stationed at the Rock-landing, on the Oconee river, all citizens of the United States, white inhabitants or negroes, who are now prisoners in any part of the said nation. And if any such prisoners or negroes should not be so delivered, on or before the first day of June ensuing, the Governor of Georgia may empower three persons to repair to the said nation, in order to claim and receive such prisoners and negroes.
ARTICLE IV.
The boundary between the citizens of the United States and the Creek nation, is, and shall be, from where the old line strikes the river Savannah—thence up the said river to a place on the most northern branch of the same, commonly called the Keowee, where a North East line to be drawn from the top of the Occunna mountain shall intersect—thence along the said line in a South West direction to Tugelo river—thence to the top of the Currahee mountain—thence to the head or source of the main south branch of the Oconee river, called the Appalachee—thence down the middle of the said main south branch and river Oconee, to its confluence with the Oakmulgee, which form the river Altamaha—and thence down the middle of the said Altamaha, to the old line on the said river, and thence along the said old line to the river St. Marys.
And in order to preclude forever all disputes relatively to the head, or source of the main south branch of the river Oconee at the place where it shall be intersected by the line aforesaid from the Currahee mountain, the same shall be ascertained by an able surveyor on the part of the United States, who shall be assisted by three old citizens of Georgia, who may be appointed by the governor of the said state, and three old Creek Chiefs to be appointed by the said nation, and the said surveyor, citizens and chiefs shall assemble for this purpose on the first day of October, one thousand seven hundred and ninety one, at the Rock-landing, on the said river Oconee and thence proceed to ascertain the said head, or source of the main south branch of the said river, at the place where it shall be intersected by the line aforesaid, to be drawn from the Currahee mountain. And in order that the said boundary shall be rendered distinct and well known, it shall be marked by a line of felled trees at least twenty feet wide, and the trees chopped on each side from the said Currahee mountain to the head, or source of the said main south branch of the Oconee river, and thence down the margin of the said main south branch and river Oconee, for the distance of twenty miles, or as much farther as may be necessary to mark distinctly the said boundary. And in order to extinguish forever all claims of the Creek nation, or any part thereof, to any of the land lying to the northward and eastward of the boundary herein described, it is hereby agreed in addition to the considerations heretofore made for the said land, that the United States will cause certain valuable Indian goods, now in the state of Georgia, to be delivered to the said Creek nation: and the said United States will also cause the sum of one thousand and five hundred dollars, to be paid annually to the said Creek nation. And the undersigned Kings, Chiefs and Warriors do hereby for themselves and the whole Creek nation, their heirs and descendants, for the considerations above mentioned, release, quit-claim, relinquish and cede—all the land to the northward and eastward of the boundary herein described.
ARTICLE V.
The United States solemnly guarantee to the Creek nation, all their lands within the limits of the United States to the westward and southward of the boundary described in the preceding article.
ARTICLE VI.
If any citizen of the United States, or other person not being an Indian, shall attempt to settle on any of the Creek's lands, such person shall forfeit the protection of the United States, and the Creeks may punish him, or not, as they please.
ARTICLE VII.
No citizen or inhabitant of the United States, shall attempt to hunt or destroy the game on the Creek lands. Nor shall any such citizen or inhabitant go into the Creek country without a passport, first obtained from the governor of some one of the United States, or the officer of the troops of the United States commanding at the nearest military post on the frontiers—or such other person as the President of the United States may from time to time authorize to grant the same.
ARTICLE VIII.
If any Creek Indian or Indians, or person residing among them, or who shall take refuge in their nation, shall commit a robbery or murder, or other capital crime, on any of the citizens or inhabitants of the United States, the Creek nation, or town, or tribe, to which such offender or offenders may belong, shall be bound to deliver him or them up to be punished according to the laws of the United States.
ARTICLE IX.
If any citizen or inhabitant of the United States, or of either of the territorial districts of the United States, shall go into any town, settlement, or territory belonging to the Creek nation of Indians, and shall there commit any crime upon, or trespass against the person or property of any peaceable and friendly Indian, or Indians, which if committed within the jurisdiction of any state, or within the jurisdiction of either of the said districts, against a
citizen or white inhabitant thereof, would be punishable by the laws of such state, or district, such offender or offenders shall be subject to the same punishment, and shall be proceeded against in the same manner, as if the offence had been committed within the jurisdiction of the state, or district to which he or they may belong, against a citizen or white inhabitant thereof.
ARTICLE X.
In cases of violence on the persons or property of the individuals of either party, neither retaliation nor reprisal shall be committed by the other, until satisfaction shall have been demanded of the party of which the aggressor is, and shall have been refused.
ARTICLE XI.
The Creeks shall give notice to the citizens of the United States of any designs, which they may know, or suspect to be formed in any neighbouring tribe, or by any person whatever, against the peace and interests of the United States.
ARTICLE XII.
That the Creek nation may be led to a greater degree of civilization, and to become herdsmen and cultivators instead of remaining in a state of hunters; the United States will from time to time furnish gratuitously the said nation with useful domestic animals and implements of husbandry. And further to assist the said nation in so desirable a pursuit, and at the same time to establish a certain mode of communication, the United States will send such and so many persons to reside in said nation as they may judge proper, and not exceeding four in number, who shall qualify themselves to act as interpreters. These persons shall have lands assigned them by the Creeks for cultivation, for themselves and their successors in office; they shall be precluded exercising any kind of traffic.
ARTICLE XIII.
All animosities for past grievances shall henceforth cease, and the contracting parties will carry the foregoing treaty into full execution, with all good faith and sincerity.
ARTICLE XIV.
This treaty shall take effect and be obligatory on the contracting parties as soon as the same shall have been ratified by the President of the United States, with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States.
IN WITNESS of all and every thing herein determined between the United States of America, and the whole Creek nation, the parties have hereunto set their hands and seals, in the city of New-York, within the United States, this seventh day of August, one thousand seven hundred and ninety.
In behalf of the United States, HENRY KNOX, Secretary of War, and sole Commissioner for treating with the Creek nation of Indians. In behalf of themselves and the whole Creek nation of Indians, Signed and sealed by ALEXANDER MCGILLIVRAY, And the Kings, Chiefs, and Warriors of the Cusetahs, Little Tallisee, Big Tallisee, Tuckabatchy, Natchez, Cowetas. Of the Broken Arrow, Coosades, Alabama Chief Okfays.
Done in presence of RICHARD MORRIS, Chief Justice of the State of New-York, RICHARD VARICK, Mayor of the City of New-York, MARINUS WILLETT, THOMAS LEE SHIPPEN, of Pennsylvania, JOHN RUTLEDGE, junior, JOSEPH ALLEN SMITH, HENRY IZARD, his mark. JOSEPH X CORNELL, Interpreter.
NOW KNOW YE, That I having seen and considered the said treaty do, and with the advice and consent of the Senate of the United States, accept, ratify and confirm the same, and every article and clause thereof; In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed, and signed the same with my hand. Given at the city of New-York, the thirteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred and ninety, and in the fifteenth year of the sovereignty and independence of the United States.
G. WASHINGTON. By the President, THOMAS JEFFERSON. By Command of the President of the United States of America. HENRY KNOX, Secretary for the Department of War.
NEW-YORK, AUGUST 14.
Yesterday the treaty of peace and friendship between the United States and the Creek nation was solemnly ratified by the contracting parties, in Federal Hall, in presence of a large assembly of citizens.—The Vice-President of the United States—the great officers of State—his Excellency the Governor—and of several members of both Houses of Congress.
At 12 o'clock the President of the United States, and his suit—General Knox, the commissioner; the clerks of the department of the Secretary at war; Col. M'Gillivray, and the Kings, Chiefs, and warriors of the Creek nation being assembled, the treaty was read by the Secretary of the President of the United States.
The President then addressed Col. M'Gillivray, the Kings, Chiefs, and warriors; he said that he thought the treaty just and equal; and stated the mutual duties of the contracting parties; which address was communicated sentence after sentence, by Mr. Cornell sworn interpreter; to all of which the Creeks gave an audible assent.
The President then signed the treaty—after which he presented a string of beads as a token of perpetual peace; and a paper of tobacco to smoke in remembrance of it; Mr. M'Gillivray rose, made a short reply to the President, and received the tokens.
This was succeeded by the shake of peace, every one of the Creeks passing this friendly salute with the President; a song of peace performed by the Creeks concluded this highly interesting, solemn and dignified transaction.
We are informed, by a letter dated July 3d, from Kingston, Jamaica—“That no ships were to sail for Britain until the 25th of July, and then to have a convoy. On the second ult. arrived there the 62d regiment, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Horneck, which had been embarked from Ireland, and proceeded to Halifax, Nova-Scotia, where Lieutenant Col. Horneck found orders to sail directly, without landing, for Jamaica. This corps is to be followed by the 5th battalion of the 60th, which is hourly expected, to augment the military force in Jamaica. Another regiment is also ordered from Ireland, with a reinforcement of men of war, both daily looked for—every preparation of war is making. Lord Effingham, the governor, is in a very bad state of health, and it is thought will not recover.
The news-papers have paragraphed Congress for the slowness of their proceedings—the length of the list of their acts will take off a great deal from the force of the charge. In that list are many acts comprehending objects in the highest degree contentious and arduous; and rendered doubly so by the state jealousies and prejudices which this government inherits from its ancestor, the confederation. As much of the ordinary business of legislation has been done, as could be expected, and at last the great things are provided for, which the people have been so anxious about. The debt is funded, a law has passed for selling the accounts, and public credit has a foundation to rest upon. This, however important, is not all. A system is formed for reducing the debt by purchases in the market, with the surplus revenue of a million of dollars, and with a further sum to be borrowed.—This will save a great deal to the public, form a sinking fund, gradually to pay off the whole debt, diminish the loss to the country by foreign speculations, and instead of keeping the money locked up in the revenue chest, it will scatter it among the people; it will restore confidence in government, and raise it higher than it ever was. Little more than a year of the existence of the new government has elapsed—what more has the most sanguine admirer of it expected in so short a time? America, tho' respected for the wisdom of its constitution, has been considered as in a state of childhood with regard to credit and money matters. The report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and the concluding measures of this session of Congress, adopted in conformity to his opinion, will raise the reputation of our country. A system is begun which needs only to be steadily pursued, to extinguish our debt, and to secure all the advantages which we have hoped to derive, from the establishment of the constitution. Probably there is not in the world a nation which has half so good cause for HOPE, as the American.—such an expectation, so well founded and so nearly realized, tends to prove itself true.—It inspires the people with a spirit and energy, which increases their strength. Those who kindle discord, murmur against the government, as unfaithful, lazy and ignorant, and croak about ruin as the consequence, make themselves and others unhappy, poison that harmony, and damp that enterprize, full of hope, which would otherwise be at work to bring about better times.
A cool observer will have frequent occasions to wonder at the readiness with which accusations against government are made and believed. The charge is taken for true, and instead of collecting proofs, we find the accusers engaged in shewing the pernicious consequences of the alleged delinquency. Congress is inveighed against for proceeding tardily, and the world is told that many months have been trifled away, not only without doing any good, but with a design to protract the term of the payment of their wages. To enquire, is a work of the understanding—to rail and call names is a matter of passion. All have passions and very often feel them—and those who have the least understanding are most under their dominion: But tho' all have some understanding too, they will not always make the best use of what they have. It requires the knowledge of some facts, and some leisure to compare them together, to make up a sound judgment upon subjects which lie remote from the path of common enquiry. Congress should be compared with other public bodies. All bodies are slow in motion. But it may be questioned whether business has been more expeditiously transacted in the state assemblies than in Congress. Great subjects which divide and agitate the whole society, because they portend the most important and extensive consequences, cannot be hurried. Very often by giving time for passion to waste itself in fume, right measures are approved at the time of their adoption, which on their being first announced were obnoxious.—The assumption of the state debts was long in debate. The public has the means of judging, by reading the Gazettes, whether this act of justice, this truly national measure, has not been vindicated from a multitude of objections, which at first were urged against it. A number of obstacles to our being a nation have been removed. Many occasions have been taken away, which could only be used for deadly purposes. Instead of complaining, we ought to think our rulers too happy that those things which have cost other nations blood, and, what is more precious, liberty, have cost us only time. In order to learn to love our country as well as it deserves, we should compare it and its administration with every other on earth.—The time will come, and our disunion only can prevent its arrival, when the name of an American will give a title to respect in the furthest corner of it.
BOSTON, Saturday, August 7.
Capt. Cruff, who arrived here on Wednesday last, in 45 days from Bilboa, informs, that at the time of his departure, June 17 a declaration of war was momentary expected—and that on his passage he fell in with five or six british men of war, who were cruising off the Spanish coast. He soon after spoke with a Spanish Galleon, bound into port—he gave the Captain information of the British cruisers—but the Captain of the Galleon, pointing to his guns, merely laughed at the information.

LAW OF THE UNITED STATES. PUBLISHED
By Authority
CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: AT THE SECOND SESSION.
Begun and held at the City of New-York, on Monday the fourth of January, one thousand seven hundred and ninety.
An ACT to provide more effectually for the settlement of the Accounts between the United States and the individual States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That a board, to consist of three commissioners be, and hereby is established to settle the accounts between the United States and the individual States, and the determination of a majority of the said commissioners on the claims submitted to them, shall be final and conclusive, and they shall have power to employ such number of clerks as they may find necessary.
And be it further enacted, That the said commissioners shall respectively take an oath or affirmation before the chief justice of the United States, or one of the associate or district judges, that they will faithfully and impartially execute the duties of their office. And they shall each of them be entitled to receive at the rate of two thousand two hundred and fifty dollars per annum, payable quarterly at the treasury of the United States for their respective services.
And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the said commissioners to receive and examine all claims which shall be exhibited to them before the first day of July, one thousand seven hundred and ninety one, and to determine on all such as have accrued for the general or particular defence during the war, and on the evidence thereof, according to the principles of general equity (although such claims may not be sanctioned by the resolutions of Congress, or supported by regular vouchers) so as to provide for the final settlement of all accounts between the United States and the states individually; but no evidence of a claim heretofore admitted by a commissioner of the United States for any state or district, shall be subject to such examination, nor shall the claim of any citizen be admitted as a charge against the United States in the account of any state unless the same was allowed by such state before the twenty fourth day of September, one thousand seven hundred and eighty eight.
And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the said commissioners to examine and liquidate to specie value on principles of equity, the credits and debits of the states already on the books of the treasury for bills of credit subsequent to the eighteenth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty.
And be it further enacted, That the commissioners shall debit each state with all advances which have been, or may be made to it by the United States, and with the interest thereon to the last day of the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine, and shall credit each state for its disbursements and advances on the principles contained in the third section of this act, with interest to the day aforesaid, and having struck the balance due to each state, shall find the aggregate of all the balances, which aggregate shall be apportioned between the states agreeably to the rule herein after given, and the difference between such apportionments, and the respective balances shall be carried in a new account to the debit or credit of the states respectively, as the case may be.
And be it further enacted, That the rule for apportioning to the states the aggregate of the balances first above mentioned, shall be the same that is prescribed by the constitution of the United States, for the apportionment of representation and direct taxes, and according to the first enumeration which shall be made.
And be it further enacted, That the states who shall have balances placed to their credit on the books of the treasury of the United States, shall within twelve months after the same shall have been so credited, be entitled to have the same funded upon the same terms with the other part of the domestic debt of the United States; but the balances so credited to any state shall not be transferable.
And be it further enacted, That the clerks employed by the said commissioners, shall receive like salaries as clerks employed in the treasury department.
And be it further enacted, That the powers of the said commissioners, shall continue until the first day of July, one thousand seven hundred and ninety two, unless the business shall be sooner accomplished.

PROVIDENCE, AUGUST 5.
ACCOUNT OF THE CREEK NATION.
The Creeks, who call themselves Muskokies, are composed of various tribes, who, after tedious wars, thought it good policy to unite to support themselves against the Choctaws, &c. They consist of the Apalakia, Alibamons, Abecas, Cawittaws, Coolas, Conhacs, Coosactes, Chachihoomas, Natchez, Oconis, Okohoyas, Pakanas, Oakmulgis, Tensas, Tallepooas, Vectumkas, and some others. Their union has not only answered their first hope, but enabled them to overawe the Choctaws and other nations.
They inhabit a noble and fruitful country, where they will become civilized, more and more every day; and where they, or some other people, more civilized and powerful, will one day enjoy all the blessings, which the superior advantages of their soil, climate and situation can bestow. They are an expert, sagacious, politic people—extremely jealous of their rights—averse to parting with their lands—and determined to defend them against all invasions, to the utmost extremity.
They are remarkably well shaped; are expert swimmers; and are a sprightly hardy race. They teach their horses to swim in a very extraordinary manner; and, find great use therein, in their war parties. They have abundance of tame cattle and swine—turkeys, ducks, and other poultry: They cultivate tobacco, rice, Indian corn, potatoes, beans, peas, cabbage, &c.
Their country abounds with melons, peaches, strawberries, plums, grapes, and some other fruits.
To strangers they are hospitable, nay liberally kind to excess, even to white men, when any above the rank of a trader visits them. With those they are punctual, and honest in their dealings: and they afford them protection from all insults. Many of the nations are addicted to trade as principals, or as factors for the
London company, who are allowed by the Spaniards a free trade with them, in a stipulated number of ships from London annually.
Their women are handsome: and considering their state of civilization, many of them are very cleanly. Their dresses at festivals and public dances, are rich and expensive. They are exceedingly attentive to strangers, whom they serve with excellent provisions, well cooked, which are always accompanied with a bottle of crystalline bear's oil, and another of Virgin honey, full as pure.
Their country, or what they claim, is bounded northward by nearly the 34th degree of latitude; and extends from the Tombecbee or Mobile river, to the Atlantic ocean. It is well watered by many navigable streams, leading to bays and harbors, which will become of great importance in peace and war; and is abundant in deer, bears, wild turkeys, and small game.
The men value themselves on being good hunters, fishermen, and warriors, so much that their women still do most of the work of the field, which in this fine country and climate, is not very laborious. They are, however, adopting the use of black slaves.
They are the only red people I know, who frequently keep by them store of liquor, by way of refreshment only; or who make any great use of milk, eggs and honey.
Their country, amongst other valuable commodities, is possessed of a number of extraordinary salt springs, some of which produce one third salt.—And their rivers are remarkably stored with the best of fish.
Hospitable and kind as these people are to friends—they are, if possible still more inveterate to enemies, which is an exception to true bravery; but it is the effect of their education.
Whilst the British possessed the sea coasts of East and West Florida, the Creeks lived on good terms with them: And they are now in as strict friendship with the Spaniards, who cultivate their esteem with great attention, and strict regard to justice, indeed with a liberality some other nations are strangers to: no nation has a more contemptible opinion of the white men's faith, in general, than these people. Yet they place great confidence in the United States; and wish to agree with them, upon a permanent boundary, over which the Southern States shall not trespass.
Mr. McGillivray, whose mother was principal of the nation, and who has several sisters married to leading men, is so highly esteemed for his merits, that they have formally elected him their sovereign, and vested him with considerable powers. This gentleman wished to have remained a citizen of the United States; but having served under the British during the late war, and his property being considerable in Georgia, he could not be indulged: He therefore retired amongst his friends, and has zealously taken part in their interests and politics.
LONDON, June 5. PARIS.
Paris has lately been troubled by some insurrections; happily a few only, who deserved it, became victims to them. In twenty-four hours peace was restored to this town, for which the proclamation of M. Bailly had made way.
The reviving speech of M. Necker, of which we yesterday gave an extract, shewed the first dawn of public felicity, and every body is looking forward to the most agreeable hopes. The King's Proclamation caused the most lively emotions in the assembly.
The citizens, melted and rejoiced, repeated its expressions with enthusiasm: a thousand eyes wished for the happiness of seeing the best of men and the most upright of Kings. They enjoyed this pleasure yesterday morning.
M. de la Fayette had fixed on yesterday (Sunday) for a general review of the National Guard in the Champs de Mars. Each division was to provide so many men: in all something more than four thousand.
The King was on horse-back early in the morning, and, after a turn on the Boulevard, he crossed over to the place of review.
He was no sooner perceived by the people, than the sound Vive le Roi (Long live the King) resounded from all parts with an enthusiasm before seldom seen. Even the nation was for a time forgotten, and wholly taken up with the thoughts of their monarch. They offered no vows but for him, and his person is so much beloved, that it is contemplated with the highest pleasure.
As his Majesty knows the hearts of his people sufficiently to be certain that it is not his pomp, but himself, which is beloved by them, he was in a plain undress; his coat was green, and not seemingly very new; and his hat, though small, was adorned with a handsome cockade of three colours. The National Guard, for the first time, exercised before him amongst the repeated acclamations of an immense crowd, who were never weary of shewing the King how much they loved him, and how truly they rejoice to see him enjoying liberty and happiness. The King, on his side, shewed the greatest sensibility—it was easy to perceive that he smiled unaffectedly, by a few tears of joy, which stole in spite of him down his cheeks. The review concluded about half past twelve.
REVOLUTION IN HUNGARY.
Leopold II. determined to recover his authority in the Netherlands, though at a greater expense of blood and treasure than the object of contention will justify, is compelled to secure a territory more valuable, extensive, and interesting to the House of Austria.
In short, the Hungarians have begun to negotiate with their Sovereign. According to the ancient system of things, such negotiations would terminate in the death or exile of the projectors. But ancient records must no longer form the data of political induction. According to the new order of events, the gentle petition of the Hungarians will grow into bold remonstrance, and terminate in successful rebellion. All the arts and influence of the Belgic Confederacy will be practiced among the discontented Hungarians, with
a view to divide and weaken the armies of Austria. And this may ultimately lead to a total extinction of the Austrian Monarchy!!!
Great indeed are the revolutions of modern times. The next century will open on a new face of affairs—perhaps on an universal Republic.
