as many wife politicians and enlightened civilians,
have long Gnce predicted. After twelve years ar
dent purluit of liberty and republicanifm after de
itroying their exiting form Of government, with its
royal head after framing and pretending to the
people variety Of new contributions, for the ecuri-
ty of their republican government and equal rights
all which have given place to each other, in rapid
fucce1ion without the wlhed for effect And after
fcenes of terrible conuon and tumut attended with
van expenre Of blood and treafure, a monarchy is
again reforted by that nation, with tronger arm,
and more dlpotc power, than the one which had
been overturned. Could it be, that another lenon
of caution and prudence in revolutionary puriuis,
was necenary for the admonion Of this or any other
country the people might look this recent refult
in France, and learn wldom from the awful expert
ence and misfortunes of that great and powerful
nation.
Should any well intentional individual in our
country endeavour tatsfy their minds with an idea
that Gmlar mealures may be better managed here
than in France or that well informed people, en-
gagged in like purfuits, may fay with regard their
reform g thus far we go, and no farther and here
iha the tempeituous billows of revolution be itay
ed let fuch perGons recollect, that in France, and
among their emil ghtened men, the fame ideas pre-
vailed at their frt out(et and let fuch perions alto
coniider, before it is too late, how merably in that
nation iuch ideas have been disappointed in the eX-
pertinent and pauGng on thir event, let them Teri
ouly reflect that like meaiures will probably pro-
duce like fatal misortunes and finally terminate in
a like unhappy iflue The world has long ilnce been
taught, that delpotlm is the rank weed that tprngs
from the rich foil of anarchy.
Whining YOU our wonted harmony in the progrels

The flip Iris, Skinner, has arrived in the Sound
from London. From MIR. Samuel Campbell who
has iuH come up totoHn from her, we have received
London papers to the goth of AuguR.
The IRIS, few days 6nce, lpoke the flip Orlando,
Narfchak, which left the Texcl three DAYS after the
Iris left the Downs, and was infer med that they Rad
on board Dutch paper containing DECLARA-
TION OF WAR ON THE PART OF RUSSIA
AGAINST FRANCE.
The London papers. corroborate this intelligence.
They !tate that oi ulan fail of the inc and feveral
frigates, with 10 900 troops had arrived Copenh i
gen, where the troops were landed, and 10000 more
expected. 4.a
An attic mpt has been made on the life of Louis
XVIII. and on the king Of Sweden, by potion. The
London papers attribute it to Bonaparte.
Ii is further fad, that Rulia and her allies had de-
trrmined to force the king of Prula to an explicit
declaration of his views-and, if he decided Tor
France, 10 invade his domlnions
A letter from Leghorn, of the 21a Of July, llaes,

Guilty, obtained pafage in boat with for e
pilots to Tybee Hand (tor the Fort boat was
ltove all topieces, this was'the only boat left
in harbour and the had no.rudder) on Monday
was enabled to get up to Cockfpur, where [
di1covered that every thing was 1wcpt away
to the piings with part of the Ihand. SO VIZ
olent was the gale that we have not heard OF
any veileI or boat living in the river Except
the United States gun-bo No. |. and lmall
floop, the former was drifted in corn-ficld
ieven miles from the rivera
"The men who were loft are, Reuben Arm
lfrong, Corporal, William Crafts, MuGcian,
Daniel Lacy, Thomas Moore, Joleph Whita-
kcr, John Glynn, and Samuel MSWilliams,
PrlvatcS.
4" And with painI have to mention the lois
of Capt. Nicoll's fon who was on a Witt to me;
he died wi h Lacy who was trying to fave his
life. Three women and two children belong
ing to the Fort were likewife loft.
6 The men who efcapcd are 10 much bruif-
ed and wounded that leveral of them will not
be fit for duty for fome time. The account
they give of the form and their iituation is,
that the water was over the Fort at ten o'clock
A. NJ. and as it began to rife in the hou1e they
attended, and finally with much difficulty got
on the roof which W as carried off about one
o clock p. NJ. they however continued on it I'M
til 1t parted after which they loft fight of
each other, andthe iurvivors iaved them1elves
on plank and fcantling which was aaoat from
veiel that had previouily gone to pieces Qa-
den with lumber) lying below them. From the
force of the wind the wood they held on to,
was iometimes RATED out of the water and car
ricd 1ome diitance. They finally drifted on
Wilmington Hand from ten to fifteen miles
above the Fort, and one man was lodged in the
top off, tree.
:" The water was fuppofed to have been
from IS to 40 feet above the level ofthe Fort,
for in this city it was at leaf IL feet higher
than ordinary firing tides. u From the winds
carrying plank for fome di1tance, and indeed
from what 1ome Of the men witnefed, they
I1uppoie that one or two oftheir comrades were
lott by blows received by planks falling on
them, who might have iaved themlelyes in the
water.
9 From the ftuation of the men and the
fate ofthe roads (fortheyare impalable with
carriages) lhave thought it mott advifable to
obtain houie for them a few miles fl om the
city, to 1erVe as an ho1pital and barraCks-they
are now very comfortably fixed about two
miles from town (for could not procure no
place alta greater; ,difance) where phyfcian
will pay them severy attention which may be
lneccilary."
