Vollard, Vadier, Amar, and David,
are guillotined ——an event of more
contequence than the fall of Rober

" The number of prifonera in the

now it is reduced to 5700.

from Paris mention, that the inhabit

pefta civil war is approaching.
“ The King of Prussia has defeated
the right wing of the Polish army,—
The following letter was written by
the King to one of his Colonels.
i " My dear Colonel Diellert,
" I acquaint you that I attacked
this morning the Poles, and conquer
ed the Prince of Ponfautofkrt army.
My troops have mounted seven batte
ries—too cannon, and a number of
prisoners have fallen into my hands—
which number I cannot now mention.
The !ofs on our part is very trifling,
I remain your affectionate King,
", Frederick William."
By a gentleman who came passen
ger in the Katy, we learn, that the
Van of the French armyof the Rhine,
was at Manheim, near Frankfort,
when the failed, which was the 16th
September.
Another gentleman has furnilhed
us with extrads from the Hamburg
papers, which confirm the above ;
and add, that the denunciation of
Barrere, &c. was by Lecointre of Ver
sailles, who charged them with having
been concerned with General Dumer
bion, who was arretted at Nizza, and
of having hindered the supply of the
army of Italy, which had in confe
queoce been obliged to withdraw and
retreat :—and that the. last letters from
Holland fay, that the frequent rains
have favoured much the overflowing
the country at Breda, which place is
surrounded by 30 000 French.
O On the above intelligence ref
pe&ing Barrere, we must obferve,that
Paris accounts; by the Halifax papers,
are to Sept. 1, and they make no men
tion of the event of his being behead
ed. They state, that he had been ac
cused and acquitted. Therefore, if
' there is no mistake in the dates, the
account of their decapitation is pre
maure. One circumstance, however,
it is our duty to relate, that on the
29th Aug. Bread and Treilhrd made
Lthe communications to the Conven
tion, which Barrere usually made, such
L the capture of prizes, and victories
■of the armies.
I DIRECT FROM CANADA,
We learn, that in consequence of
the faion of Gen. Wayne, near the
British (now evacuated) post on the
Miami#, the people of Upper Canada
were in momentary expectation of a
declaration of War ; and that draughts
were making from all the regiments
and militia, to ftrengthea the posts.
What Gen, Wayne calls retiring to
the Gl^ze, by easy marches, they call
a " ritreat," for the purpose of
getting fifth supplies to attack the
fort commanded by Major Campbell.
from PHILADELPHIA,
Since M^( we learn, that the Pat
riot army were daily apprehending
and tending to Philadelphia the whif
ky-boy leaders.

Weftera News.
A letter from Gen. Wayne's army, states,
that in five days from leaving Fort Defiance,
he'd reached the Miami towns —that Camp
bell had evacuated the fort at the Rapids—
that a council of Indians had been held after
(their defeat on thezoth Aug. in which Brit
ish agents had endeavoured to persuade them
to rifque another action—But that the Indi
ans refufed, and had dispersed generally to
their several habitations— determined to bury
the hatchet —That zoo Indians fell in the late
adion—that their whole force on that. occa
sion was 1500 Indians, and 80 Canadians.
The Collector of Niagara was among the
slain, hisbody being afterwards found. T^e
provisions of the Indians were salted, and re
ceived from the British stores.

—IOOO Indians bad colbaed, on the iyb & 16th
400 Seneca ^warriors came in. This formidable
train of Seneca warriors, we are assured, had left
their villages, and moved on several days marches, %
tojoin the hostile Indians—but they were overtaken
by a runner, and informed'of the treaty ; upon this
fbey immediately turned their course, and arrived
as above. They are all armed with the bes of
fnijhed rifles. The Indians declare that Brandt
was killed in the a&ion with Gen. Wayne.
GEN. La FAY^TTE—A is confidently aj
jerted in the European papers, that Mr. Munroe'
is charged with letters from the President of the
United States, to the King of Prussia, on the fub
jea of the liberation of Major Gen. Fayette. We
hope it is fad —It is at leaf probable, that the a
beve minister is charged with the money granted to
the Marquis, by Corgrefs, at the last session.
The Centinel of Nov.ig, contradias the report
of the decapitation of Barrere, &<. 1 They were
charged with arbitrary ads of cruelty and opprej
fion ; of having concealed the guilt of Roberfpier

maturely, and after a long and loud debate, decreed
That the charges were wholly uujupported by

BRITISH ARMY.
Camp, near Bois-le- Due, Sept. 12. I
The communication with Breda, and al
so with Maeftricht is still open.
Yesterday a French patrole consisting of
about 200 Chaff^urs and 100 Yageds, came
to within a mile of Bois-le Duc, on the fide
of Breda, and carried off a Dutch port of two
officers and sixteen dragoons, in the fight of
the town. A party was immediately order
ed to pursue them, but it could not come up
with the French. A French Hussar, who
was behind his party, was brought in pris
oner.
The invasion, or attack of Holland, in a
great measure depends on the fate of Mae,-
ftricht.
The French having got pofleffion of Va
lenciennes, and Conde, will probably march
the army which was in Hanaulr, against Ma
eftricht, and this frontier. They threaten a
general attack upon the allies by the 27th
inst. but the favourable moment is past, and
the pannic which the retreat of the armies
occasioned, has happily given place to confi
dence ; and the preparations since made to
receive them,appear to warranteven security
It is supposed that the Duke of York will
march to Niemeguin, or Grave, to be at
hand to defend thole places, should they be
attacked. . 1
Mr. Wyndhan, Secretary at War, has been
for some time at the head quarters. The
Compte D'Artois, from Rotterdam, is also
expected th^re in a few days.
maestricht, sept 5. This morning
the Imperial garrison of Valenciennes passed
through Wyk, over the boat-bridge, on their
return to Germany, and some fay, to the
Polish frontiers.
breda, sept. 9. Yesterday a large par
ty of French troops, said to consist of ^o 000
men, appeared again at Ginneke. They
had two four- pounders with them, and re
pulsed our out-posts, who, though final) in
number, defended themselves in the heft
manner. The fkirrnifhes lasted from five
o'clock in the morning till two o'clock in
the afternoon, when the French fell back
from Ginneke, which is close to this fortrefs,
with great order and regularity.
About 3000 Republicans are encamped at
the defiance of one league and a quarter from
this place : The rest are cantoned on the
heath nea r Gaffbrock, where they have ef
tabiifhed their head-quarters.
The French have again re-established the
bridge called the Devil's bridge, situate near
the church of the village of Ginneke. Over
this bridge, which had been broke down by
our troops, a great force of Republicans is
parting, in order to invert: this place closer.
The French force which now is in this Baro
ny, is said to amount to 40,000 men.
P. S, An engagement is this moment tak
ing place before this city.
Extraordinary Inventions.
National Convention, Aug. 28. Citizen Cof
te, Paftorof the French Protestant Church
of Charleston, in Nortamerica, presented ;o
the Convention a bomb shell, filled with a ve
ry powerful fuze, competition, which, wheri
once set fire to, nothing could extinguish.—
This bomb shell might be thrown 800 paces
by a 24 pounder, and Bill farther, by one of
a larger bore—lt was impossible for a ship of
100 guns, to withstand a single broadside
from one of 74 guns, that fhbuld throw these
fliers, with which fix ships of the line, might
in one day attack and destroy all the navies
of Europe. Fopr grinsofa larger calibre, he
mid; might, by adifeharge of these shells stop
a whole squadron at its entry into d port, or
burn every M, it they ffiould pbftinately per-
fiftintSeir endeavour. The, te^^lfe
of great improvement, and might be render
ed terrible to the troops of the lard fervice#
more efpeciaily cavalry. Even when difdharg
ed against a wall, they burned for half an
hour, and their flame and fine)!, during the
night, Would throw the best regulated Squad
ron into disorder. The projector tranfroited
a cold Shell, filled with the competition, and
capable cf setting fire to every cembuftible
substance. He protested that he would lose
his life, rather than impart the secret, pro
vided the Convention should not adopt his
difeovery.
Barillon observed, that this might be the
fire difeovered in the reign cf Louis 15, end
which the Tyrants themselves dared not em
ploy. Decreed^hat the discovery should be
referred to the Committees, which Should ex
amine whether ±cculd be employed effica
ciourtj;, and without outraging humanity.l
THE TELEGRAPHE]
The plan of the new French ir.ftrument
for conveying intelligence, (the Tcleg: apbe,)
is by beacons on heights, at the distance of
12 or 15 miles from each other ; in' all of
which are placed glasses. The wards to be
conveyed, are. exhibited on the firft, read,
and exhibited by a short process at the second.
and so on through the whole line. What the
process is for copying the words so expedt
tioufly, and for throwing such a body of liflt
as to make them visible at such a distance,
does not yet appear ; but it is clear that the
experiment has complete success. Conde
surrendered at 6 o'clockin the morning. At
the meeting of the Convention at 9 o'clock
the fame day, it was announced to them by
the Telegraphe from Lisle. They instantly
changed its name to Nord Libre, and resolv
ed that the Northern army continued to de
serve well of their country. These refuta
tions were ordered to be conveyed to Lisle,
by the Telegraphe. They were so ; and be
fore the Convention Separated for dinner,
they received the answer that their resolu
tions had arrived at Lisle ; so that the very
fame day the army received the thanks of the
nation for their atchievement.
Letters from Manheim mention, that Mi
caud, General in Chief of the French arm,
on the Rhine, by some means or other, got
into Manheim,of which he took a view,Topp
ed and Slept in one of the principal inns
there. On his departure, he gave a letter to
one of the waiters, telling him, a servant
would call for it in tlie morning. After some
time, nobody calling for the letter, it was
opened and contained the following words in
French—'- Citizens, Michaud, General of the
Sans Culottes,jupped here last night, and has been
at the play at Manheim."
Gen. Gray, with 500 mer, is said to be tap.-
tured by the French, at Gaudakepe, —The Penn-
Jylvania whifky lads are nearly made Sober !
HUZZA! for GOVERNMENT.
DIED, at Gilmantown, last week, of the
nervous fever, Dr. Obadiah Parish, in
the 30th year of his age—originally of Can
terbury, in Connedicut—A wife and child,'
are left to bemoan this public loss— Popular
as a Physician, and universally esteemed as a
man, thus snatched away in the prime of life,
and from the duties of his profeffion, not on

feel very fenf/ly this loss of so valuable and'
