Gen. Pichegru's Death.
Extras of a letter from the Hague, dat
ed June 27.
" It w@s pa the 22d inst. that we
received intelligence io this city, that
a cannon bail terminated the adive
and victorious career of Gen. Piche
gru. This intelligence hat been of
ficial!, confirmed, and we do not
doubt that every well-disposed inhab
itant of our country will lament the
death of that brave General, who
gained oniverfal refpe& by his con
du& when he entered these Provinc
es."
HAGUE, JUNE Ifc
It is said, that all the Dutch officers
who intend to leave the service of the
Republic, are previously to declare,
that they will not enter into the ser
vice of England, or that of the Prince
of Orange. The French at Gertruy
denberg, being at prefect employed
in whipping the ammunition of the
arsenal of that place, to conduct it to
Antwerp ; the French Commandant
of that place, has been told that this
, was against the Treaty of Alliance
, entered into, and orders have been
given to the Municipality to oppose
the carrying off the said ammunition.
JERSEY, JUNE 22.
This Island presents a strange ap
pearance at present. St^Hellier has
kthe exact resemblance of a French
town, with a few Jessey people inters
persed among the inhabitants. They
have not the least doubt of an imme
diate defcedt being made on the
French coast. The Island hin a very
formidable state of defence : Signals
all round the coast, a fquadroo of frig
ates cruizing round, betides gun-boats,
loggers, d^w batteries, barracks; and
in short, every thing that can argur
the note of dreadful preparation.

Second extract Os a letter from Copenhagen
of the 6th of June.
'' During the conflagration on the Old Holm,
yeferday afternoon at three o'clock, the coal and
the tar magazinesicaugbt fire, which immediately
jpread to the long fore boujes on the Holm, as well
as to the lofty admiralty buildings. By means of
the heavy gale of wind, and the beat of the utmof
phere, thefleeple of St. Nicholas's church caught
fre before it was perceived or could be imagined,
although it is fofar off that five freels occupy the .
intermediate space—Then the con flag? atin became
general. The whole canal freel, the Reverence,
Laxe, Wgend, Uxc, Hummer, Syalder, Admiral,
Boldbuas, great and little churchfreer, the great
St. Nicholas's church and steeple, the whole Old
Strand, with t^fijh market, the great and little
ferry greets, Hetbroc and Leather freets, with
the Jews Synagogue, Hyfken, Compaigne, Mag,
Snare, Badobn, Knabnefreets, and the cross al
lies, with one half of the Kimmelskaft, the City
Hall, Orphan House, Frederickferg, and Klofer
freets, ^c. wtre in flames.--"
“ The fire companies, which are to ver, good
here, could net do the needful, owing to the frong
wind, which fattered large burning coals about
the city. Many citizens, whose boujes are expojed
to tbtfre, have covered their duellings with wet
fails. All the public Squares, particularly the
King's, Newmarket, and the Riding square, are
full of iff- dis that have banfaved. All the houf
ts that were near thefire, and were not furnifhed
with fone walls, have been pulled down, in or
der to prevent the spreading of the fames. The
fa and land forces difingufod tbemfelves princi
pally at the necessary works. It is apprehended
that man, good people have been burnt and even
killed thereby.”
Copenhagen, June 9. The dreadful con
flagration, which began in the afternoon of the
yb inf. was flopped at las, on the 7th, at noon,
after having raged 44 hours, and defroyed every
thing from the canal to the weftern gate. The
number of boufes burnt, is computed at 1416, a
mong which, besides the City Hall, Orphan House,
the church of St. Nicholas, & the admiralty build
ings, are two apothecary shops, 29 breweries, 19
bake boujes, and 200 brand, difiller ies. More
than three tboufand families, and above twenty
thoujand people, have lof their dwelling places.
The damage done, is not to be computed as,st, but
it is prejumed to amount to Four Millions of rise
dollars.
His Royal Highness the Crowes Prince, was
present from the beginning of this unfortunate Jeene
• to its conclufa, together with the Princes of Au
gufemhorg, of Heffi, and of Wurtemburg ; be or
dered tn perfan the necessary means of prevention in
many places, and participated there in the mod ac
tive manner. Amidfl tbefefatiguing occupations,
and notwithfanding the terror with which the
(hocking fight mdf needs inspire every body, bis
Royal Highness did not forget to take all,ffible
care of the Jufferers, and particularly of the pooref
claf among them. It was immediately ordered,
that tents fbuuld be ireaed on the ramparts of the
city, under which the poor would find a Jhelter,
and yeferda, more of them have been placed on the
north city commons.

to adopt me fures to safe the deplorable condition of

IMPORTANT ARTICLE.
There is an important feature in the pres
ent political fituaiion°of Europe, not gener
ally known, or at least credited, which we
can mention upon very excellent authority.
It is a fact that the government of Great
britain has sued for PEACE, and that the
French have peremptorily rejected their pro
pofols. Sir Frederick Eden was the negoti
ator. He landed at Dieppe cftenfibly to a
gree on the exchange of prisoners ; but to
make proposals for a peace. A commissioner
was fyrf to him from the Convention, by .
whom his proportions were forwarded to the
French government, who gave them a flat
denial, and ordered the negociator home.—
This may be relied on. The fact must re
animate the hopes of those, who pant to fee
the power of the domineering court of Brit
ain brought upon the level, that will at least
insure to the surrounding nations a practice
on her part of the offices of good neighbor
hood : A work devoutlyto be wished for ;
but which the policy pursued by cur Execu
tive government is calculated to retard.
from BRISTOL, (Erg.)
The mate of the Wg Betsy, arrived at N.
York, from Bristol, writes to his correspon
dent in Newbedford, thus: “ Yesterday we
came to anchor before this city, after a pas
sage of 42 days from Bristol, which place we
failed from June Sth. There were mobs in
Bristol market, every market day : and un
less provisions become more plenty, or bu -
nefs increases, there must be an infurrecrion
through mere hunger. However, I think the
American harvest is almost over in Europe.
In England, there is nothing to be done—
Bristol is a wilderness, and Liverpool & Lon^
don but little better ; and in France they
cannot pay you in specie for what you do, so
our profitable trade must cease"
