Gazette Of The United States

The revolution in France has produced one very extraordinary event—and that is, the emigration of a large number of the citizens of that kingdom to the United States: Among these are several persons who enjoyed titles of honor and distinction, and possessed large fortunes in that country. These emigrants have arrived in different parts of the continent, at Alexandria, Philadelphia, and New-York: They have already begun their settlement at Scioto in the Ohio Country—many of them possess great property—and being men of learning, and abilities, and provided with an extensive library, and a philosophical apparatus, the rigors of their hardy attempt in settling an uncultivated wilderness, will be abated, by a variety of objects which are seldom connected with similar enterprizes.
