the present war in Europe cannot be
ol long duration. In proportion as
the exertions of the belligerent na
tions are great and expehfive, in that
' propotion must those exertions ex
hauft those nations. At no period
~ since the celebrated crusades against
the Infidels, has Europe been so gen
erally engaged in expensive wars as
at this time. ' The few Rates and na
tions not yet engaged in it, are press
ed strongly to take a part ;yet if
the emhufiafm of the French should
continue to be a fubflitute for order
& means, their opposition to the com
bined powers will be effeaual for a
year Or two more.' In that time the
nations engaged will be so exhausted,
that a long period of repose must ne
cessarily succeed the present furious
and desolating war.

By a gentleman from Oneida, an
Indian settlement, on the Genefee
road, about 20 miles from this, we
care informed, that a council of Indi
ans was convened last week for the
purpole of making a division of the
land owned by that tribe, to each in
dividual Indian, that fuch,as chose
•might fell to commissioners that are
or (halt be appointed for buying In
dian lands. Should 'the above be ef
feded, and an English settlement
supply that of the Indians, it would
greatly laciniate the weftern settlement,
as the roads would soon be repaired
and bridges built to render the pass
ing tolerable ; which never will be
white the Indians poflefs the lands
through which the road runs.

from which thisparagraph is extracted, had
never been trod by the foot of a white man,
until within 16 years.

" 1 left Havre the 3d day after my arrival
there, and arrived at Paris the 17th instant.
I found every thing quiet here, though the
Qjeen of France was beheaded the day be
fore I arrived. As to the policy of this pro
ceeding, l fay nothing ; but thejaftice of it
is unquestionable. She has been proved
guilty of even incest with her young son.
The situation of this country is undoubtedly
painted horrible in our papers, as they ex
trad much from the English. But these pic
tures are in a great measure pictures of th^
immagination. The country, it is true, is
surrounded by enemies, and harfraffed -by
traitors in its bosom ; but both are in a fair
way to be repelled and exterminated. They
have lately made a req^ifition of the young
men between the age of 18 and 25. This
requifirion if ftrialy complied with, as it is
probable it will be, will draw forth an army
of 30,000 men. The greater part of these
have already embodied themselves. A second
requisition will be made, if found necessary,
of men between the ages of 25 and 35. To
what an immense number such a requisition
would encreafe the French; forces, you can
judge from the population of the country,
which is 25,000,000. The rising of the
French en maffe, as they call it, is ridiculed in
England as visionary: but the fubjeds of
depots forget, that in Republics, every sol
dier is a citizen, and every citizen U a sol
dier.
" In short it is in my opinion, that these
new but numerous soldiers will effed what
will aftoni/h Europe. The ardour of i<s ci
tizens is every where great, as military spi
rits pervade every class. The manual exer
cise is learnt by every one. Everyone prides
himfelf in being a good citizen and good re
publican. If the different parries are once
United, and the rebels quelled, France will
be invincible, and the profpe& of their being
accomplished is not very distant. News is
this day received of the defeat of the rebels
of La Vendee. Lyons is taken, and the ar
my of royalifis there cut to pieces and taken.
Toulon is yet in possession of the English ;
but great preparations making to take it.
Finally there is not the least doubt but the
French will eftablilh their liberty. As to
the measures of government, I must not
speak ; they are, to fay- the least of them,
energetic. They may prove in the event
the best that could have been taken. All
the English in the country are arretted be
cause that nation is fufpeded to have secret
agents here, and because one of the national
commissioners at Toulon has been hung, in
derision, on a gallows so high that he was
exposed to the view of the French army. I
was examined very ftrialy on account of the
difficultv of distinguishing Americans from
the English ; but you need not entertain the
least anxiety for my personal fafety, for A
mericans when known to be such, are treat
ed with the greatest civility and refpe&.

Another mesfure of policy equally re

in the report of a committee to the National

of the English navigation ad ; and is calcu

will advance the mat Ine of France to a prodi
