Letter from the RfreJentative of fa People,from
the Armies in Holland, tithe Committee a, Na r
tional Safet,. _ -
C™'E the letter which we addressed to
) you on the id of this month, the po
litical and revolutionary movements, that "
the invasion of Holland has occasioned, have
taken a confidence, day by day, more solid
and important. These movements appear
hitherto to have been confined to a munici
pal regeneration; but they hare been suc
cessively extended to the States of the Prov
inces, arid those of Holland are already rec
ompensed. The men whom Pru ffian des
potism had established in office, against the
national will, and by force es arms, are re-.
moved, and replaced by energetic and pru
dent patriots, no violence, no tumult ac
companied this change ; and no other dis- "
ference of opinion is manifested than in the
confidence which is given to, or withheld ^
from different public functionaries.
"The regeneration of the body of the
States of Holland is of the greatest impor
tance ; this province, the most considerable
of the union, as it is equal in value to two
thirds of the United Provinces has a propor
tionable influence in the political affairs of ;
this Republic; afmoft alj ibe ports depend
upon it, and its determination in the pref
ect Revolution nece&rily draws with it that ,
of all the other independent provinces.,
"This day new Deputies of this Province
take their feats in the States General; thus
this body will in a few days be entirety, or at
least ina great degree, renewed , and the!
French Republic may bWexpeded to lay the
tirft foundations of a solid arid unalterable
: <nion mth,the Dutch nation. ^ ^^fo,l
:; " The men who compole the new author-|
fPrf^ the most pert, in place btf#J
the invasion of the Prussian/, and <hgh^ve
done no more than re-enter into ihe ftHrc
tions^which had been delegated to them ac
cording tothe legal course of their cooftitu
tion; they have all the Charliers of legiti
macy which were wanting to the creatures of
Prussia and the Stadtholder. This AtLm—
bly has for its President, Citizen, Piter Pau
lus, formerly Minister of the Marine, a
warm patriot; who was removed on the ih
vafion of the Prussians, and who unites to a
practical knowledge of the maritime resour
ces of his counry, experience in her politi
cal relations with thepowers of Europe. His
Colleagues, like himfelf, perfectly accustom
ed to public business, appear to us equally
capable of contributing fuccefsfully to an
union of the interims of the two nations, &
of powerfully seconding the common efforts
that we ought to make against England.
" Their intention is to put a fide all ques
tions, which tend to alter their present Con-'
ftitution, (the Stadtholderafe excepted,
which they reject,) until a more tranquil
time /hall permit the Batavian people to fix
their attention upon this, matter, and to
make the reform, which shall appear to them
convenient.
" The powers granted to the Deputies
sent to Paris, are about to be abo^ftied, to
gether with the regiment of 1787; and by and
by they will have no public character at Pat-""
is. We announce to you also, that we
have thade a provisional application to the r
States General for grain, forage, ftrzw,
cloathing, shoes, &c. to be deliverd at Ni
meguen, Thiel, and Bois le-Duc, to supply
the Wants of the Armies of North, the Sam
bre, and Meuse.
, Immense magazines of the English are
at our disposal. We are about to make our
inventories ; we believe that these maga
zines will be ufefully employed in provision
ing the strong places which we occupy, and
which are all more or less unprovided.
" The Danes and Americans have given
us a proof oftheir exadnefs in observing the
neutrality by refusing to embark on board
their Blips in the Texel the French Emi
grants who fled the approach of our troops.

'' Citizen President, eight French marin
ers arrived yesterday at the port of Sables d'
Olonne; they were In prison at Kinfale, in
Ireland, when the hatred of slavery made
them break their chains and carry offa
small sloop which brought them to this
f>lace : Nothing cßn equal the dangers and
offerings they endured ; for ten days they
were at fe, they lived on potatoes, boiled in
sea-water, not havingeven frefh water to 1
drink; thy underwent a tempest, and it
was a kind of prodigy that they were able to
reach the French coast. But what are men
capable of undertaking and bearing who
are animated by the love of freedom ? They
are now in their country, on the foil of lib
erty, and they are happy.
" The Irish, according to their deposi
tions, are sick of tyranny. They sigh after
liberty and the arrival of the French ; they
will neither furhifh sailors or soldiers to
George ; and they even themselves aided
the French to break their chains.— Health
and Fraternity. )

FRANKFORT, Feb. 5,
The Mentz Gazette Rates, that the,
King of Prussia has proposed to the French
an armistice for all the combined powers ;
and that if this propofirion should not be ac
ceded to, hit Majesty has offered to nego-?
date Separate peace for Prussia and the Em
pire. The bans of this peace with relation
to the Empire, to be as follows: That
France is to have for her boundaries La
Queich, and is to recompence those of the
Empire by money, who have fuffered by
invasion. If these propositions were not ac
cepted in a very mart space of time, his
Pruflian Majesty would then employ every^
means in his power to procure peace for the.
Empire. This account adds, that Merlin
cfThionville was to carry the prdpofals to
Paris ; and was, at thefame time, to take
measures to prevent the Jacobins from
throwing obstacles in the wayof peace.
If this news is founded, there is reason to
think that the prapofifonshave hot been re
je&ed. Merlin was at Paris on the art!^

dispatched from Dublin, dating that Mr.
Grattan, and Sir John Parnell were set out
for England the next day to bear
testimony of the terms cf the agree
ment made between Earl Fitzwilliam and
Mr. Pitt, for the government of Ireland.
They were witnesses of the arrangement,
and they come to prove that the articles have
been faithfully kept by Earl Fitzwilliam to
the latter, and that Mr. Pitt, in the violent
measure which has thrown Ireland into such
disorder, and which threatens its separation
from the British crown, is as contrary to
personal honour as it is to public policy. The
friends of Mr. Pitt deny this charge, and
the parties are now ranged in oppefition to
each other, breathing mutual defiance.

FREE THINKER versus VERITAS.,
ror the Federal mirror.
MR. Veritas fays, faith in Christ, implies
faith in God ; faith in Univerfilifm,
implies faith in the Devil. ' Veritas appears
to have full faith in the devil, or he never
would insist so hard that he gets a great part
•of the human race, and will damn them ja
hell to eternity. He fays, faith in Univers
alism, implies no neceflity of regeneration,
or the new birth ; this I impute to his igno
rance : It is plain from fcriptyre, (which is
the support of Universalism,) that the whqfe
human race were regenerated, and passed
through the new birth in Christ —But faith
in Veritas, or in his publication, implies that
man is to save himfelf by his own works, and
mult work out a righteoufriefs of his own;
which the inspired writer fays, arety filth,
rags. Veritas fays, F. T. infinites, that he
un justly taxes thedevil with lying, and ap
pears to be as tender of his character as tho'
he was his best friend, or to that import.'
' 'would aJk the candid public, who appears to
be mos friendly to the toil, F. ~ or Veritas ?
Surel, the, mus judge him ms friendly, who is
trying 'with ill bis might and power, to rob God
of a great part of bis workmarfei, and give it to
the devil, and will hardly allow God to have an
equal divifon with him. VeritaT fays, Christ
declares the devil abode not in the truth—F. T.
jays be did. lam furprized that an, max, in

palpable and barefaced a falsehood, as that lab
folutel, deny the charge ; and the public, who at
itemas to my publications, wtllju&tjj me info doing
—as there is not fuels an exprifan in them: but
the old maxim is, a drowning man will catch
at a straw. How dareyou, Veritas, jay that 1
said the devil abode in the truth ? I repeat it, bow
dare ,on publtfb ,ucb an abfelutefaljtbcod ? but
t&Godyou ""^ ^J^' it. Ferit as fays, as to

fumptious wretch, to tax Git Almighty with 0

idea that be fuggefed, that bis infernal majefy
was thefft author of the marine of Universal
Station : It is altogether evident that it is the
doarinewhich was taught by Christ and bis a.
