For the NATIONAL GAZETTE.
Mr. FRENEAU,
As the citizens of the United States will suffer themselves no longer to be amused by flowery and pompous declamations on the prosperity of our country, and the superior virtue, disinterestedness and patriotism of the executive officers: recourse is now had to vilifying and abusing every freeman who dares to declare his opinion on public measures. The select few not willing to defend with fair argument, the aristocratic principles of government, which they are endeavouring to establish, they are reduced to the wretched artifice of mistating the arguments of the friends of the people, and placing the strength of their remarks on their own wilful misrepresentations. An instance of this kind may be observed in Fenno's paper of Saturday last. A writer under the signature of a Freeman proposes to answer the letters addressed to the yeomanry; but instead of coming forward with that disinterested candor consistent with the investigation of truth, he takes no notice of the general principles of the letters, which tend to shew the injustice, the impropriety and danger of government interfering in the occupations of citizens. An open opposition to such principles would attract the attention of the people to the secret designs of the party; and therefore the old ground is had recourse to, of mistating facts and drawing conclusions from them.
The Farmer says p. 14, "Holland affords a striking contrast in favour of a free commerce, the territory of that republic not raising a sufficiency of wheat for their own consumption, have by the means of a free commerce, not only ensured a full supply for themselves, but frequently for their neighbours. During the late commotions in France the distress of the people in Paris in 1789, was relieved by corn supplied by Messrs. Hope of Amsterdam to the amount of one million of French livres." The Farmer confines his observation to the single article of wheat. The above writer takes no notice of this assertion, but enters into a lengthy detail of the internal police and oppressive system of the Dutch finance, which being principally confined to the necessaries of life, the people have been reduced to a servile dependence on a monied aristocracy.
The writer is equally unjust in his remarks respecting France. The direful effects of the splendid and extravagant reign of Lewis XIV. is too well established to require elucidation. The Marquis de la Fare speaking of the establishments which took place during that period, observes, that "the king's arbitrary government rendered those establishments almost useless. For a despotic power does not agree with eminent talents, and with noble qualities; a blind submission, which is inconsistent with an elevated mind, becoming then the chief qualification to make a man's fortune."
Considering that it is not only the right, but the duty of the citizens of a free independent commonwealth to interest themselves in the welfare of their country, the Farmer sometimes finds leisure to communicate his sentiments on public measures; but he will find no time to enter into contentions and unprofitable scribbling. For whether his errors be truly discovered, or peevishly and falsely laid to his charge, the several readers must be the judges.

Mr. FRENEAU,
Believing that the following particulars of Mr. John Strangeways Hutton, may interest the public, they are communicated, with his consent, by your humble servant, C. W. PEALE.
Philadelphia, Sept. 3d, 1792.
AFTER having, a few days since taken Mr. Hutton's Portrait from the life, which is to be preserved in my Muse-
um, the following particulars respecting the old gentleman were collected from his children, and others of his acquaintance.
That he was born in the City of New-York in 1684: was bound an apprentice to a sea-faring man, who put him to school in New-York, to learn navigation, at which time he became intimate with a boy who worked at the white-smiths trade, with whom he amused himself in acquiring the use of the hammer, from whence he obtained a facility in working at plate-work, in the silver-smiths business. He followed a sea-faring life for 30 years and then commenced the silver smiths trade, without having served any apprenticeship to it; yet in Philadelphia he has been esteemed one of the best work-man at hollow work, in that line of business: and there are still pieces of his work in this city much esteemed. He made a tumbler in silver when he was 94 years old.
Through the course of a long and hazardous life, in various climes, he was always plain and temperate in his eating and drinking; and avoided spirituous liquors, except once, when he was a lieutenant in a privateer, which sailed from Barbadoes in Queen Anne's wars, being on a cruise on the Spanish main, he with 50 or 60 men, made a descent on a village, in pillaging of which, himself, with most of the men became intoxicated. The Spaniards took advantage of their situation, and got between them and the sea, and killed every man of his party, except himself and one other, whom they made prisoners; from which state he attempted an escape, by cutting out a sloop, but was detected, and again put into confinement.
He married his first wife at New-York, whose maiden name was Catharine Cheeseman, by whom he had 8 children, 25 grand children, 23 great grand children, and 3 great great grand children.
At the age of 51 he married his second wife, in Philadelphia, her maiden name Ann Vanlear, 19 years old at the time of the marriage; by whom he had 17 children, 41 grand children, and 15 great grand children.
The state of his issue at this time, according to the best accounts I could collect are:
   alive. dead     Children by his 1st marriage are, 8 7   Grand children . . . . . 25 6   Great grand children . . . . . 23   Great great grand children . . . . . 3   59 13   Children by his 2d marriage are, 17 12   Grand children . . . . . 41 16   Great grand children . . . . . 15 4   Total born . . . . . 132 45  
Now living 87; of whom the greater number reside in Philadelphia—two families of them in Richmond, Virginia.
His second wife died in Philadelphia, 14th Nov. 1788, aged 72 years and an half. He never had an head-ach; and has often said that he thought himself in his prime of life, when at the age of 60 years. He was always fond of fishing and fowling; and till his 81st year, he used to carry in his hunting excursions, a heavy English musket. He was ever a quiet, temperate and hard-working man; and is now, a good humoured, hearty old man. He can see, hear, and walk about, and has a good appetite, with no complaints whatever, except from the mere weaknesses of old age.
In the early part of his life he was on two scouts again the Indians,—he used to tell that in one of those excursions, they went out in the night, how they lifted up their feet high in stepping to prevent a noise amongst the leaves, that they took an Indian woman prisoner, who led them to where the Indians lay, that they fired on and killed the most of the Indians before they could get their arms, and a few only escaped. That the Indians came in and made a peace, before this scouting party returned.
He knew the noted pirate Teach, called Black-beard; that an act of oblivion had passed, which permitted all pirates to return to their allegiance; that Black-beard then came to Barbadoes, where he saw him; this was a short time before that pirate made his last cruise, and was killed in Carolina.
His grand father, by his mother's side, Mr. Arthur Strangeways, died at Boston, sitting in his chair, when at the age of 101 years. His father, Mr. John Hutton, was born at Bournesfdures, in Scotland, where, it is said, there are many of the family now living.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
PRAGUE, June 20.
GENERAL Prince de Hohenlohe, Governor of our city, set off the 12th instant for the army at Brisgaw. On the 15th, the regiment of Hertzberg, which forms the head of the Prussian column, under the command of the hereditary Prince de Hohenlohe, arrived here, and on the 17th, continued its route for Coblenz. As it was the first time that Prussian troops were ever seen in Bohemia as friends, an immense crowd assembled to see them. Our own troops from Bohemia and Moravia will follow them; they will consist of ten battalions, or 12,297 men, and will proceed to Luxembourg or Brisgaw.
BRUSSELS, July 6.
It appears, from the accounts which have been published by this Government, that early in the morning of the 30th, ult, the French troops, stationed at Courtray, retreated from thence to Menin, where Monsieur Luckner had fixt his head quarters, and that the whole French Army, after this junction, fell back to Lisle, where they arrived the same night, having entirely evacuated the Austrian low countries.
The Duke of Brunswick arrived at Coblenz the 3d instant and the first Column of the Prussian Army, reached that place the same day.
LILLE, July 5
The army on its march from hence on Sunday morning, reached Orchies at night, and encamping there, staid till Monday morning, when it proceeded to St. Amand.
The violent Jacobins do their utmost to impress the men's minds with ideas of treason and aristocracy, in this retrograde movement, to which they say M. Luckner gave his assent with the utmost reluctance, but was forced by the minister, who on Friday night sent him a letter, announcing the march of the Prussian troops with 25,000 emigrants, towards Montmedy, with the plan of the defence concerted, which occasioned this change of position.
The camp of Maulde was also evacuated by M. Delanone's corps, who are gone to Maubeuge; M. La Fayette's army moves higher up towards Montmedy, and M. Luckner is to keep the enemy in play over the extensive frontiers on the northern side, his main army taking post at Valenciennes as before.
Immediately after the evacuation of Courtray and Menin, the Austrians penetrated into all their former stations, though it was night, and overtook a party of about fifty of the Belgic legion, who had not timely notice of the French retreat, being upon guard at an out-post. They fell into the hands of the enemy, and next day ten were hung on the public marketplace. The rest have probably by this time experienced a similar fate.
Since this evacuation, the frontiers have been cruelly exposed to the ravages of the enemy's marauding parties, who, every day commit many acts of violence upon the French peasants.
July, 7. It is not yet known whether any part of Marshal Luckner's army will resume the position near this city, but notice has been given to the peasants not to till the ground formerly occupied.
All the inhabitants of the towns and villages on the frontiers have abandoned their dwellings, to take refuge in the cities. In several places however, the peasants have formed the resolution of arming themselves, and forming patrols to protect their harvest against the marauding parties of the enemy.
Deserters from the Austrians are constantly coming in; and our patrols, sent out to scour the country at night, commonly return with prisoners.
WARSAW, June 23.
We have just received from the camp of prince Joseph Poniatowski, intelligence both agreeable and important. This Prince has gained a signal victory over a corps of the Russian troops of the division of general Kochowski.
This action happened the 17th of this month between Polonne and Zazlaw, in Volhynia.
The combat, which was obstinate and bloody, lasted from seven in the morning till five in the afternoon.
The opponents were very near coming to bayonets, when the enemy retired, leaving the field of battle to the Polish army.
The Poles lost eight hundred men, and 300 horses; the loss of the Russians exceeds four thousand; besides the prisoners, and a standard taken from them.
The advantage gained by the Polish army would have been still more complete, but for a check which a part of the republic's troops received on the fourteenth in passing a bridge thrown over a dyke, which broke down and interrupted their march. The Russians attacking them at this instant, they defended themselves with prodigious courage, and preferred fording a deep pool, where seven of their guns were buried in the mud, to yielding them to the enemy, who had surrounded them.
The greatest loss experienced by the Russian army on the 17th, is attributed to this circumstance. The battalions placed in the centre of the Polish army, were more or less forced in the heat of the action; on which the Russians advancing exposed their flanks. This position did not escape the watchful eye of the officers who commanded the wings of the Polish army; so soon as they observed it, they directed their artillery, and the great strength of their troops, against these exposed flanks. In this interval the reserve changed their front, and contributed by this evolution, to repulsing the enemy; and, immediately on this, a general attack at the same instant decided the victory.
The Russian forces consisted of two Pulks of Cossacs, of two thousand men each; a regiment of Catharinoslaw Chasseurs, of two thousand men; three battalions of dismounted Chasseurs, two thousand men; the Grenadiers of Catharinoslaw to the number of four thousand; two regiments of hussars of two thousand men each; and twenty-four pieces of cannon.
Prince Joseph Poniatowski, who was himself in every place, and attended to every thing, has forgotten himself alone in the account he gives of this action.
OSTEND July 19, 1792.
"Yesterday we received an account of a battle between the French and Austrians, in which the latter were victorious. It is said, 1200 French were killed, and 600 taken.—In consequence of this defeat, the town of Orchies is in possession of the Austrians, with a great quantity of stores of all kinds. On Monday the Austrian army was reinforced by 28,000 men, lately arrived from Germany.
"While I was writing the above, M. Vandamme arrived here from Lille—he was a spectator of the battle: it was be-

between Lisle and Orchies. The body of French were 5000 who were going from Lisle to Alsace; they were attacked by 16 or 1700 Austrians, who rather had the worst of it at first; but in the end made terrible havock, and drove the enemy into Lisle, where they were very badly received by the people."
FRANCE.
NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Thursday, July 5.
A Deputy produced a foreign letter, which contained intelligence that thirty thousand Prussians were advancing to Coblenz by rapid marches, and that the State-Major and chest of the army were already arrived; and that on the 4th of July the emigrants were to form a camp at Treves. The Assembly ordered, that the Ministers of War and Foreign Affairs should give an account of what belonged to these several departments.
The Minister of Justice demanded to be heard and presented the following
LETTER FROM THE KING.
"Gentlemen,
"We approach that famous epoch when the French throughout all the empire are again to celebrate the anniversary of liberty. The law prohibits every particular federation; it only permits the renewal of the civic oath in every district. But we have a measure to adopt which, without being attended with any violation of law, appears to me extremely necessary in the present critical situation of affairs. It is particularly at the moment when a great nation carries on a foreign war, and when the factious excite internal dissensions, that peaceable citizens stand in need of being confirmed.
"I am of opinion, that we ought to give the signal of the re-union of the constituted powers—a great number of Frenchmen assemble and repair to the frontiers—they desire to swear at the altar of the country, to live free or to die—I inform you of my desire, to go in the midst of them to receive their oaths, and to prove to the factious, that we have only one spirit—that of the Constitution
(Signed) "LOUIS.
(Counter-Signed) "DE JOLY."
Thursday July 5.—Evening Sittings.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs communicated to the Assembly several papers from Coblenz, that had been intercepted, and sent to the King. Among these pieces were two bills of exchange, for sums to the amount of 6 000,000 of livres, and several certificates, all issued by the emigrant Princes, in the King's name.
Notification to the Powers of Europe, from the King of the French
"The King of the French being informed that persons still continue to make use of his name to propose negotiations with foreign courts, to make loans, and even to make levies of foreign troops, and being again desirous of consecrating, in a solemn manner, his attachment to the Constitution, which he freely accepted, and which he has sworn to defend, disavows all declarations, protestations, negotiations with foreign courts, loans, levies of foreign troops, purchases of arms, war-like stores and others, and generally all acts, public and private, made in his name by Louis Stanislaus Xavier, Charles-Philip, Louis Joseph, and Louis Anthony-Henry, French Princes, and by other Emigrants, rebels to the laws, and to their country.
"He declares that his own interests, and those of the people, of whom he is the hereditary representative, are forever inseparable; that the government, the execution of which is confided to him, shall be maintained by him in all its purity.
"Firm in this resolution, the King of the French charges his Minister of Foreign Affairs to notify to all the powers, that entirely devoted to the cause of the French people, he will make use of all the force put into his hands, against the enemies of France, whatever pretexts may be employed to countenance the armed assemblies of Emigrants, or to support them in their hostile proceedings.
(Signed) "LOUIS.
And under signed "CHAMBONNAS."
The Minister also communicated an extract of his foreign correspondence, the sum of which was, that 38,000 Prussians are on their march to the Rhine, and that France would soon have to contend against 150,000 men.
Friday, July 6.
M. Lamark proposed to augment the army in proportion to the force of the enemy, and presented a plan to this effect. —Referred to the military committee.
LETTER FROM THE KING.
"Gentlemen,
"It is with regret that I perceive we have one more enemy. Prussia, whom every interest attached to France, breaks the ties of peace and friendship, and conspires with our declared enemies. The convention of Piltz, the alliance which has been its consequence, the reception given at the Court of Berlin to the French rebels, the offensive conduct of that Court with respect to French travellers, the refusal to receive our Envoy, the departure without taking leave of the Ambassador of Berlin, in fine, the march of 52,000 Prussians, who are to join the King of Hungary, all prove the concert between the Court of Vienna and that of Berlin.
"These, gentlemen, are imminent hostilities. Conformably to the terms of the Constitution, I depend upon the union and the courage of the French, for the support of our independence and our liberty.
(Signed)
"LOUIS.
(Under-signed) "CHAMBONNAS."
M. Condorcet reported from the Committee of Twelve, on the state of the kingdom. After a speech of considerable length, in which he inveighed bitterly against the conduct of the Executive Power, particularly since the appointment of the present Ministers, he proposed that a representation should be made to the King of the condition to which the management of his court had reduced the nation, with four plans of a decree for abridging and controlling the royal power.
His speech was ordered to be printed.
Saturday July 7.
It was decreed on the proposition of M. Hugau, that there should be formed a legion of free companies for each of our four arms. They then voted to the Minister of Marine, a sum of 13,131,345 livres, for the extraordinary expenses of his department during the year 1792.
The Abbe Lamourette, Bishop of Lyons was then heard on the order of the day: He forcibly stated the necessity of a frank and cordial re-union of all the members of the legislative body, and shewed that on such a re-union alone depended the maintenance of the rights of the people, and the preservation of liberty. There exist, said he, two distinct parties in the Assembly: these parties both accuse one another; the one of wishing for a republican form of government, the other of meditating the re-establishment of the two chambers. Let us renounce our passions, let us be united, we shall thus become strong; our union will be more formidable to our enemies, than all the cannons which guard our frontiers. Let us give a great example to all Europe, and inspire our enemies with terror; there is nothing incompatible except vice and virtue. I demand the President to fix a day to put the following proposition to the vote: "Let all who hold in detestation a republic, and the two chambers, rise."
Scarcely had these last words been pronounced, when the two sides rose, threw up their hats, stretched forth their arms. Loud applauses were heard from every quarter. Each side approached its opponents, the two mingled together, and exchanged embraces; signs of the utmost harmony and concord prevailed; the two parties swore an immortal union, and took their seats promiscuously.
Scarcely had they finished when the approach of the King was announced. He was received with loud and reiterated applauses. He was accompanied by his ministers, and placed himself without ceremony beside the president.
THE KING'S SPEECH.
"Gentlemen,
"No spectacle can be more affecting to me than the general re-union of opinion and sentiment which has now taken place. This re-union I have long desired, at last my wish is fulfilled, the nation and the King form only one. The Constitution will now become that point of union, around which all Frenchmen will assemble in order to protect it, and the King will always set them the example."
The President's reply.
"Sire,
"This memorable epoch must inspire with the greatest pleasure all the friends of liberty. It is a dreadful epoch for its
enemies, henceforth the nation is invincible. In vain tyrants conspire against liberty."
Both these speeches were received with the loudest applause.
The King made some efforts to answer, but was so much affected that he could only say, in a tone which indicated the utmost emotion, "The pleasure which I feel is delicious." He then retired, accompanied by a deputation, and the fitting rose, amidst the acclamations of Vive la Nation! Vive la Liberty! Vive la Roi!
Tuesday, July 10.
The ministers again gave an account of the state of the kingdom, the most material parts of which were, that the frontiers would soon be attacked by about 200,000 men, to which France had about 248,000 to oppose; that the King of Sardinia might be considered amongst the number of her enemies; and that they had not a single ally except America, from whom nothing could be expected but supplies for her colonies. They concluded their account with informing the Assembly, that having entered into office in the hope of doing service to their country, it was their duty to resign when that hope was no more; and that they had all delivered their resignations to the King, before coming down to the Assembly.
This notice was loudly applauded by the people in the galleries.
The debate on the state of the nation was then resumed, and several members spoke upon it. It was resolved to decide upon it to-morrow; and the military, the diplomatic, and the extraordinary committee of Twelve, were ordered to prepare the necessary details, in case it should be decreed, that the country is in danger.
A LETTER FROM THE KING.
"Mr President,
"All the ministers have given in their resignations, as they this morning announced to the Assembly. I am employed in replacing them; in the mean time they continue their functions.
(Signed) "LOUIS."
Wednesday July 11.
M. Harault reported from the joint committees on the political state of the nation. Their opinion was, to declare that their country is in danger.
M. Lacipede proposed the following form of a declaration, which was carried almost unanimously:
"Numerous bodies of troops are advancing towards our frontiers. All those who abhor liberty are arming against our constitution.
Citizens, our Country is in danger!
Let those who are to have the honor of marching the first to defend all that they hold most dear, always remember that they are Frenchmen, and freemen: let their fellow-citizens maintain at home the safety of persons and property; let the magistrates of the people watch attentively; let all with the calm courage which is the attribute of true force, wait for the signal of the law before they act, and our country will be saved.
On the motion of M. Vergniaud, the assembly voted
An ADDRESS to the FRENCH, on the DANGER of their COUNTRY.
"Citizens,
"Your constitution restores the principles of eternal justice. A league of kings is formed to destroy it. Their battalions are advancing: they are numerous, under rigorous discipline, and long practised in the art of war. Do you not feel a noble ardor inflame your courage? Will you suffer hordes of foreigners, like a destructive torrent, to overflow your fields? Will you suffer them to ravage your harvests; to waste your country by burning and cruelties: in a word, to load yourselves with chains dyed in the blood of all you hold most dear?
"Our armies are not yet complete: an indiscriminate security too soon restrained the ardor of patriotism. The levies of recruits ordained have not been so completely successful as your representatives had hoped. Internal troubles, added to the difficulty of our situation, cause our enemies to give themselves to vain hopes, which to you are an insult.
"Hasten, citizens: save liberty, and vindicate your glory.
"The National Assembly declares, that our country is in danger.
"Beware, however, of thinking, that this declaration is the effect of a terror unworthy of the Assembly, or of you. You have taken the oath, To live free or die. The Assembly knows that you will keep it, and swears to set you the example: but the question is not to brave death, we must conquer, and you can conquer; if you abjure your hatreds, if you forget your political dissensions, if you unite in the common cause, if you watch with indefatigable activity your internal enemies, if you prevent all the disorders and all the acts of violence to individuals which they excite; if secu-
ring within the kingdom the empire of the laws, and answering by well ordered movements the call of your country, you fly to the frontiers, and to our camps, with the generous enthusiasm of liberty, and the profound sentiment of the duties of soldier citizens.
"Frenchmen, four years engaged in a struggle against despotism, we advertise you of your dangers, in order to invite you to the efforts necessary to surmount them. We shew you the precipice, wha glory awaits you when you shall have over passed it! The eyes of nations are fixed upon you: astonish them by the majestic display of your force, and of a grand character. Union, respect for the laws, for the chiefs, for the constituted authorities; courage unshaken, and soon will victory crown with her palm the altar of liberty: soon will the nations who are now arming against your constitution covet to unite themselves with you by the ties of a sweet fraternity: soon consolidating, by a glorious peace, the basis of your government, you will reap all the fruits of the revolution; and in preparing your own happiness, you will have prepared the happiness of posterity."
On the motion of M. Vaublanc, the Assembly voted—
AN ADDRESS to the ARMY.
"Brave Warriors,
"The National Assembly has just proclaimed the danger of our country: this is to proclaim the force of the empire: this is to announce, that French youth will soon flock round the standard of Liberty. You will teach them to conquer; you will point them the road to glory.
"On the signal of danger to your country, you will feel your ardor redoubled. Warriors, let discipline guard your motions; that alone is the guarantee of victory. Have that calm and cool courage with which the sense of your force ought to inspire you.
"A true army is an immense body put in motion by a single head. It can do nothing without a passive subordination of rank to rank, from the soldier up to the general. Warriors, imitate the devotion of Daffas, and the courage of the brave Piment. Merit the honors which your country reserves for those who fight for her; they will be worthy of her and of you.
"Forget not that it is your constitution that is attacked. The object is to make you descend from the glorious rank of freemen! Well! brave warriors, the constitution must triumph, or the French nation must be covered with indelible disgrace.
"From all parts your fellow-citizens are preparing to second you. Doubt not of it: there is not a Frenchman who hesitates; there is not one who, in these days of peril and of glory, risks dishonoring his life by a base and shameful inaction. How unhappy will be the man who cannot on some future day say to his children and fellow-citizens—"I too fought when our liberty was attacked. I shared the glory of the day on which the French arms triumphed over our enemies. I defended the ramparts of the city, which they attacked in vain; and on such a day I bled for my country, for liberty and equality."
Thursday, July 12.—Evening Sittings.
Decreed, that 93,000 men shall be raised besides; 50,000 of whom shall join the army, and 43,000 shall form corps de reserve.
Then followed a call in the house. Present 663 members. Sick 16—8 engaged in business—6 dead and not replaced—27 did not answer. Broke up at 11 o'clock.
Friday, July 13.
In the sitting of this day, contradictory to the contents of Gen. Lamorliere's letter, information was received from the Directory of the Lower Rhine, that the Austrian forces at Kehl, are increased to the number of 40,000 men, and that, according to all appearances, we shall be attacked by 200,000 men. They add, that a number of officers seem to have made an agreement to desert, with a view to entreat the embarrassments of the Generals.
PARIS, July 14.
The day is at length arrived, and every soul in Paris is already in motion; the drums have been beating since four o'clock. The reintegration of Pétion will, I doubt not, prevent any riot: yesterday evening, as soon as the decree was known, above 50,000 persons surrounded the mayoral-house. Mr. Pétion appeared between four municipal officers, who had been ordered to attend him since his suspension: he addressed the people from a window—he wept—and, overpowered with emotion, fainted in the arms of the municipal officers, who had been ordered to attend him. Hence he was carried to the Hotel de la Ville in triumph, though the decree was not then sanctioned, the streets ringing with the cry of "Vive le Pétion!"
An affair of a more serious nature had like to have taken place: Mr. la Calombe, formerly aid-de-camp to Mr. la Fayette, was in a coffee-house near the National Assembly; the people wished to hang him, and he was saved from the popular fury by being brought to the central committee, where he was obliged to remain all the evening.

On Friday the decree passed the National Assembly, for the restoration of M. Pétion, in his office as Mayor. It was proposed by Mr. Murain, and carried after a very tumultuous debate. Mr. Manuel was declared to be provisionally suspended. The decree, respecting Mr. Pétion, was immediately carried to the king for his approbation, to the municipality and the department.
A considerable body of the Provincial Federals had arrived in the capital; but not so great a number as had been previously expected. As the chief grievance was removed, in the restoration of the Mayor, there was little or no apprehension, but that the day would pass over without any violent tumult.
The king still remained without ministers, none of those, to whom offers were made, would accept a situation so full of responsibility and hazard.
The emigrant forces are assembling at Coblenz, the 28th, Mirabeau's Legion had not arrived, but some Prussian war commissaries were employed daily in making up the accounts of their force, and preparing provisions, &c.
The following is the state of the force.
  C A V A L R Y.    Gardes de Corps de Roy 1600  Gardes de Corps des Princes, 800  Gendarmes 600  Musketaires 600  Red Companies 480  Corps de Maime, all officers 600  Deserted officers from different regts. 800  Royal Allemand deserted 600  Buchiny and Saxe Hussars 1000  Total Cavalry 6500

L O N D O N, July 12.
Previously to the retreat of the French into their own territory, a detachment of the Belgic Legion entered Warnecon in the Austrian Netherlands, where a sum of money, belonging to the King of Hungary, was deposited in the public magazine. They were so successful as to carry off with them 17,000 florins, and 36 casks of Geneva.
PHILADELPHIA.
SEPTEMBER 8, 1792.
ABSTRACT AND RECAPITULATION OF FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
The great quantity of European news brought by the brig Adriana, makes it difficult to trace a succinct account of the important events from the middle of June to the middle of July.
FRENCH AFFAIRS
Are in a worse situation than our last accounts from France had left them.
It appears, that since that period Luckner's army has penetrated into the Austrian territory as far as Courtray and Mons, and taken possession of those two places.
They however soon fell back and re-entered their own territory without gaining any decided advantage, but also without material loss.
Nothing of consequence appears to have been effected by La Fayette's army since the 11th of June, the latest date of our former accounts.
But Paris has been the scene of many tumultuous and distressing scenes.
On the 20th of June a mob forcibly entered the palace and made their way into the very apartment of the king, to oblige him to sign the decrees of the Assembly relative to the clergy, and that for forming a camp of 20,000 men near Paris, to which he had affixed his veto.
This violent step is by some looked upon, not merely as the deed of a mob acting from blind and criminal impulse, but as a premeditated scheme of the most violent partizans of republicanism.
The attempt was no doubt a daring outrage against the constitution, and most probably the whole work of a mob.
The sensations it occasioned and effects it produced throughout the kingdom, prove that a great, a very great majority of the nation held the actors in this scene in utter abhorrence.
La Fayette flew from the army to the city, and his presence contributed not a little to restore order. Pétion is warmly accused of having some hand in the violent attempt against the independence of the king in using his constitutional veto.
His known political sentiments, warmly republican, must alone have given rise to a
supposition of this nature. Nothing like the most remote probable proof appears in support of the accusation.
If the Jacobins are not the immediate cause of this criminal transaction, their violent principles and active exertions in support of them, must no doubt have indirectly led to it. It will be in a great measure attributed to their immediate agency, and perhaps cast such an odium on the party as in a great measure to annihilate their power.
La Fayette is by some blamed for leaving the army without permission from the minister of war. He pleads necessity in justification. If he had not taken the step, he could not, it appears, have prevented the army from marching in a body towards Paris.
Tranquility was restored in the capital in a few days, and on the 30th La Fayette returned to his post.
The king proposed to the National Assembly the formation of a camp of 30,000 men, to be stationed between the frontiers and the capital, as a measure of precaution, instead of the camp near Paris, proposed by the decree to which he had affixed his veto. This measure was adopted: A sure sign of the temper of the Assembly at the present critical period.
We are informed by a gentleman just arrived from Cape Francois, that some disturbances had broke out between the whites and the mulattoes, about the beginning of August, which lasted a few days, and then subsided.
A brig arrived from France about the same time. The 8000 troops intended to be embarked for the defence of the West-India islands, were detained in France when the brig failed, owing to the great discontents that were prevalent. Indeed it was a matter of much doubt with men of consequence, whether they would any longer rely on the promises of the French government; and it was reported, that several gentlemen had gone to Barbadoes, upon some plan of digesting a mode of application to the British governments for protection; in which case, they had it in contemplation to throw the French islands into the hands of the English. This we give as mentioned to us by a person who heard it spoken of at the Cape.
Mr. James Carey, late Printer and joint Proprietor of a Dublin newspaper, entitled, The Rights of Irishmen , proposes to publish a daily newspaper in the city of Richmond, No. 1 of which is to appear on the first of October next.
A Boston paper says, we are assured from very respectable authority, that an enquiry will commence at the next sitting of the General Court, respecting the legality of Branch Banks being established in the different states, by the National Bank.
Benjamin Bourne and Francis Malbone, Esquires, are elected Representatives in Congress for the state of Rhode-Island.

MERCATOR TO CIVIS:
Containing further Remarks on a late authentic document, published by the Treasury Department, under the signature of Joseph Nourse, Register.
WHEN you, CIVIS, avow and declare the object of the Treasury Department in making the publication alluded to, I presume you speak from that intimate, accurate, and precise knowledge of the intention which the Secretary himself can alone possess. Would it not have been candid then, to have come forward in propria persona , and, under the official sanction of office, declared what the real intention was? To attempt a public deception through indirect means, may avoid personal impeachment, but can seldom escape detection. You say, that Mercator "has endeavored to show that the contrary of what was intended, is true." Now Mercator, has simply supposed that it was intended to impress the public mind with a belief that under the present administration of its fiscal concerns, the public debt has been actually reduced . This supposition then, as you declare, was contrary to the real intention , and, as Mercator, is not disposed to doubt your knowledge of what the real intention was, he rests satisfied in the admission that the public debt has not been diminished . But Mercator has unluckily suggested that the public debt, instead of being diminished one farthing, has, under our administration, been augmented to a considerable amount. —This you regard as a deliberate act of hostility, a malicious endeavor to lessen the public confidence in you, to drive you from office, and, in the true spirit of a certain junto, to grasp all the powers of the government into their own hands. —Indeed, my good CIVIS, you discover too much anxiety, fear, and passion—your zeal betrays you, and in the apprehensions for the reputation and continuance in office of the Secretary of the Treasury, manifestly shews the inseparable connection between you and him. Do not, however, elevate Mercator beyond his views; give him an importance that he does not seek, or rank him with men that he does not know. —Humble and moderate in his wishes, with no avidity or desire for the loaves and fishes of office, unconnected with any junto, if any there be, and disdaining the use of any power but that of truth and reason, Mercator came forward to examine a plain fact, and to assert
the public investigation of it, by a reference to other authentic documents of the treasury department itself. Wherefore then do you impeach the purity of his motives, and accuse him of want of accuracy and candor? You have surely forgotten the scriptural admonition, "to cast the beam from your own eye before you pluck the mote from a brother's." Remember that an accuser should never be guilty of the thing he condemns. You accuse Mercator of charging you with the arrears of interest from the day the public revenue commenced, that is, on the 1st of August, 1789, until your department was organized on the 13th of September following, and complain that this arrearage of interest accrued prior to the existence of your department; and yet you have no scruple to avail yourself of the use of the whole public revenue from the said first day of August. I leave it to a more plausible sophistry than you exhibit, to reconcile this absurdity. Your next complaint is, that Mercator's standard of calculation is erroneous, because he charges you with the arrears of interest made principal, and the amount of the assumed debt—Now, as to the arrears of interest made principal, was there not allowed an interest upon it equal to that of the original principal? Did not this operate as compound interest, or interest upon interest? And have you not the unbalanced claim of merit with the public for the proposition, which such an operation demands? In respect to the assumed debt, I ask to know at what period, prior to the assumption, the interest upon that ceased? If then, Mercator has kindly taken a lower standard of calculation than he might have done, or if instead of estimating upon the present rate of interest on the public debt, equal to about four and a half per cent. he had charged a full rate of six per centum upon the principal of the foreign and domestic debt, the arrears of interest and the assumed debt, thereby adding to the statement he made two or three millions more,—what becomes of this charge of inaccuracy and want of candor? Mercator's design was, to expose a plain and obvious principle to the public view, without regard to nice calculation or fractional certainty: that he has been under, and not over the mark, is pretty certain, and may be easily demonstrated by figures. You can best ascertain the precise amount of the addition that has been made to the public debt.
Whether the language and conceptions of Mercator justify the idea, that "to provide for a debt, and to reduce it, amount to the same thing," will be left to the public to determine: to whom also it is referred, how far, in the principles and practice of Civis and of the Secretary, to reduce the public debt and to add to it, are synonymous?
The review of certain leading facts respecting the establishment of the funding system, is too tedious and unimportant for the pursuit of Mercator: he has little time, and less inclination to remark upon them; like another elaborate report of the Secretary of the Treasury, time and truth will discover their fallacy. The boast that is made of benefit to the public, first, in the saving by purchases in the public debt at the market price; secondly, by the advanced price given by foreigners in their purchases of the public debt; thirdly, by the reduced rate of the new loans for paying off the foreign debt; and lastly, by the institution of the national bank, may be regarded as so many circumstances of little and temporary expedient, producing partial or insignificant advantage or convenience to the government, and which like all temporizing expedients predicated on the sacrifice of justice and of principle, leave behind them the bitter sting of future, extensive, and permanent evil. The benefits, if any, are nearly passed away; the evil but begins to be felt and understood. What may be the issue of the public mind upon them, is left for Civis to verify.

For the NATIONAL GAZETTE.
Mr. FRENEAU,
CONCERNING the euther and the motives of the late calumnious attack on the Secretary of State, I have heard from various persons but one and the same conjecture. But surely there was never a case where the judgment of a false accuser was more imposed on and misguided by the base passions which torment him. For with respect to every article of his libel, they are either shamefully and glaringly false, or what is more, are highly honorable to that illustrious Patriot, Statesman and Philosopher. One of the charges is, that he set up the press of the National Gazette, by a corrupt bargain for destroying the Constitution of the United States, and that he cooperates by his own writing for that purpose. Now, Sir, besides the oath you have taken, is there any man who has the least acquaintance with the character of Mr. Jefferson, who can admit the possibility of this, against the uniform tenor of a virtuous and dignified conduct, without a single fact bro't to support it, on the bare insinuation that he is at heart an enemy to the Constitution. True, it is said by this writer, that Mr. J. does not suppress his dislike of any measures of the government, and that he advised the adoption of the Constitution on the ground of expediency, not of its perfection. But does it follow that he is an enemy to the
government for these reasons? If it does, then nine-tenths of the people are enemies: for it is notorious they dislike and speak against many measures, and that the constitution was adopted on the very ground of its being expedient to take it with its imperfections, and leave these for after consideration. Accordingly one of the first acts of Congress, on the suggestion of the President's speech, was to take up the matter, and to remedy the defects most complained of in the constitution. It is to be wished this accuser had gone further in this matter, and given us the precise objections of Mr. J. Till this is done, we cannot judge of them.—Another charge is, that he is an enemy to public credit. This, Sir, may be pronounced impossible. He may differ as to the means of supporting it, and the uses to be made of it, and may possibly, as well as others, detest many doctrines and practices combined therewith, and yet be a true friend to public justice, and a staunch friend to public credit. The quotation about Holland and France is unintelligible; and shews, by its darkness, the design of it. If there be any foundation for it, let the letter or extract be produced, or the American be deemed in this, as he manifestly is in other instances, a base calumniator. The next and capital impeachment is the most extraordinary that ever entered into the heart of man to conceive—that although the Secretary of State holds an office, and receives a salary in the government, yet he will not sacrifice his judgment, his character, his fidelity, his oath, to measures and views adopted by his colleagues. Oh envy! thou art surely the blindest as well as the basest of passions, or thou never wouldst select the noblest virtue in the patriot character, for the theme of thy venomous detraction. What must be the principles, what the designs of those who consider every man in the government as bound to support every measure of it, however wrong, however injurious to the people, or inconsistent with the constitution; and who hate and defame the man, who, true to his trust, to his oath, and to the people his constituents, honestly and boldly refuses to conspire against these sacred obligations.
But as the American has shewn himself so unequal to the task he has undertaken,—this virtuous explainer of public characters, is requested to undertake another, wherein he cannot be so liable to mistakes. Let him explain the public character, who, if uncontradicted fame is to be regarded, opposed the constitution in the Grand Convention, because it was too republican , and advocated the British Monarchy as the perfect standard to be approached to as nearly as the people could be made to bear, and now would impose himself on the people for a pure republican , and would have them distrust men who have uniformly supported the constitution on republican grounds.
Let the explainer go on—and explain the public character who on an occasion well known to him, could so far divest himself of gratitude, and revolt from the spirit of his station , as to erect his little crest against the magnanimous Chief who at present is at the head of our civil establishment ; and has on many free occasions since, spoken with levity and depreciation of some of the greatest qualities of that renowned character; and now gives himself out as if he were his most cordial friend and admirer, and most worthy of public confidence on that account. But all this may be explained—For, if a delicacy "equal to that of family connections," did not oppose, it could be proved to be the avowed policy of some, to make the most of a great name in furthering their political views, by holding up its sanction, as if extended in all cases, and by full and positive approbation, thereto.
This explainer will be further able to throw great light on the combination attempted at the approach of peace, to establish an efficient government , by means efficient also ; but very different from the republican and free plan of a Convention acting by the authority of the people . This piece of history is much wanted; and with the other explanations which the American , from his love of the people, truth, and of liberty , it is expected will not withhold, will be of vast utility. He will then have the merit, he now only affects, of letting the public into the true knowledge of public characters it trusts; and the satisfaction, if he is not callous to remorse, of doing full justice to the character of the Secretary of State, by placing it in contrast with some which will be so detected and brought to light.

From the DAILY ADVERTISER.
To the Mechanics and Manufacturers:
This is as true in politics, as in a more important science. When unsupported calumnies and barefaced falsehoods are the ordinary weapons of a party, it is a proof that those who compose it are unprincipled and base.
Now, the truth is, there is not a single proposition, in the whole of the report alluded to, from beginning to end, which has any special reference to the "National Manufactory," as it is called; by which, it is presumed, is meant, the establishment at the Passaick Falls, under a society lately incorporated by an act of the state of New-Jersey.
The whole tenor of that report is an elaborate essay to call the attention of the Legislature of the United States to the encouragement of Manufactures generally, by whomsoever, or whatsoever, carried on. And for this purpose, a variety of propositions are made; as will be seen by any body who will take the pains to read from page 42 to 58, inclusively.
The address which contains the above-mentioned assertion, is the grossest insult that could be offered to the understandings of those to whom it is addressed. It supposes them too ignorant even to read; for any man who can read may, whenever he pleases, detect the falsehood, which has been endeavored to be imposed upon him. But these conceited impostors, to their utter confusion, will in every step of their progress find their mistake. The people of America, of every class, can read and reason too; and will discover and reject all their vile counterfeits.
Sometimes they attack the Secretary of the Treasury, for endeavoring to raise up manufactures faster than suits the state of the country, to the prejudice of agriculture. Here they attempt to make him the enemy of the mechanic and manufacturing interests. But what is too bad or too inconsistent for such men to attempt?
The first ground of attack is indeed not better founded than the last. What would be the difference to the farmers, at this very moment, when their surplus productions are shut out of every port of Europe, by bad markets, if the country abounded in mechanics and manufactures, to consume that surplus, and give in exchange the productions of their labor, instead of the foreign articles which now render us tributary to foreign workmen? The answer to this question is palpable. And the experience of this country, like that of every other will prove that the full prosperity of agriculture is inseparable from that constant, steady and domestic market for the products of the soil, which can alone arise from a flourishing state of manufactures, consequently from a numerous body of mechanics and manufacturers, as consumers of the surplus of the farmer's labor.
This is one of those eternal truths which must for ever confound the vain reveries of political quacks. DETECTOR. August, 23, 1792.
Mr. PRINTER,
WHEN Detector pompously comes forward with accusations of calumny and falsehood, he should be well acquainted with the ground on which he himself stands. Having with many others, been consulted on the questions proposed by the Treasury to the mechanics and manufacturers of Philadelphia, I do know that every part of the address published in your paper of Saturday, the 18th inst. and signed A Mechanic, is strictly true. Should Detector, in reality, have any doubts on this subject, and will come forward under his proper signature, some facts shall be related on this subject, which even the scurrilous abuse of an anonymous writer will not justify, as we believe some of the gentlemen who were made instrumental in procuring the information for the Secretary, were not, at that time, aware of the use to which it was applied. That certain gentlemen, high in office, and particular friends of the Secretary, made personal application to their fellow-citizens to procure answers to certain leading questions, respecting their various occupations, every mechanic and manufacturer can testify: that the information so acquired, constitutes the most valuable part of the Secretary's report on manufactures, will appear by the report itself, from page 42 to 56. That the Secretary and Duer were particularly active in procuring the establishment of the national manufactory in Jersey, many members of the legislature will declare, who feel themselves sufficiently mortified for having allowed strangers, to influence their government, to enact a law, which, for injustice to their citizens, is not to be equalled by any on record. These circumstances being well known, I heartily unite in opinion with my brother Mechanic, and think it necessary that the mechanics and manufacturers should inquire, what advantage citizens personally engaged in manufactures, or our country, will derive from the establishment of national manufactures, wholly supported, and at the direction of a monied interest.
try, will derive from the establishment of national manufactures, wholly supported, and at the direction of a monied interest.
We do not think it necessary to take notice of the abusive language and sophistry of Detector: our only object is, to come at the truth, by a full investigation of facts. Besides, as it is the opinion of Detector, that the mechanics and manufacturers in Philadelphia can read, and do begin to think for themselves, the observations of a Mechanic and Detector being impartially published in the same paper, they will judge for themselves.
If it will be any satisfaction to Detector, he will be informed, that the hatters have already united themselves into a society, as mentioned by a Mechanic; and it is expected several other occupations will do the same. The manufacturing interest severely feel the weight of the new system of taxes in the necessaries of life, and they are justly apprehensive of further impositions.
