SURRENDER of fa FRENCH ARMIES.
The Intelligence which follows, was receiv
ed Yesterday at Lord Grenville's Office.^
Atthe Time this Paper wen; to Press, no Con
firmation had arrived in Town ; and all that
seemed to make against it, was the entire Si
lence of the French Letters from Paris, which
on the 28th ult. mention not even such a Ru
mour having reached ibe Capital.
.Y^ , if from Disaffection or Cowardice, the
French Armies fhiuld thus have given up the
Cause, any Intelligence from the Generals of
ttieEvent, would be reluctantly sent, and close
ly concealed for some Time at Paris, ifit even
was k nowo 'o the Leaders of the Senate.
Cur Readers from a simple Statement, there
fore, of all the Partßal^s received by Gov
ernment, will form for themselves a Belief for,
or against, their Authenticity. ^^

Delegates, to a Gentleman tn this Town, dated
>Richmond, Nmffl6# t l6, 1792.
" We have very certain Accounts here of a
ra ging Indian War upon our southwestern
Frontier. Very distressing Information has
been received by federal of the Members, of
the dangerous Situatioi,of their Families ; the
most of them from that Part of the Country
have gone home. Our Executive have trans
mitted Accounts that have been sent them, to
the President of the Unfed-States ; and the AG
fembly passed a Law upon the Subjed immc-,
diatcly, authoring the Executive to direct
such temporary defenfive Operations as will
secure the Citizens in that Quarter, until their
Safety can be provided for by the general Gov
ernment. It is generallybelieved, at this
Place, that the foutnerp Indians will unite with
the northern, in carrying on Hostilities against
the United States—in that event, I apprehend
our Distresses will be manifold."

and at Wilmington—great Damage was done to

drifted several Miles uo the River, with two
Negroes on the Roof, who were saved.

Dumourier, had surrendered, near Chalons,
to the Duke of Brunswick ;—but, it now

" The Choice of Etedors for President and
Viceprefident of the U&W States jn this State,
having fallen, without Exception, upon Cha
ra&ers eminently Republican, cannot but be
highly agreeable to those Friends of equal
right in all parts of the Union, who for a long
Time past have observed with regret the silent
Progress of a certain fa of welT known am
bi ious Characters towards the great 144 of
their wishes, a monied Aristocracy. The Con
stitution of this State if by far too Republican
Custine is at this Moment laid to be in
Co6/c#% with 24,000 Men ; and Ofend is re
ported to have opened its Gares to the French
Arms.

or other they can give it a fort of a Twist to

cipal end to be answered in pulling down the
Governour, if that great and worthy Objed

One would think a rich Man in every free
Country is in a Capacity to spend his Time in

such vs would not injure the wellbeing of his
Neighbour,—Unfortunately, the Matter,
generally speaking, is otherwile, and no soon

Luck, amass exorbitant Wealth, than the

" I am agreeably disappointed in this Placer
I find it pleasantly situated ; it lies at the Con
fluence of two beautiful Rivers ; the Alleghany
glides gently down by the northweflern sides
of the Town, within hancifome Banks', and
the Mcnengabria comes in from the fouthcaft,
and forms the Point of the Town ; they are
each about 150 Yards wide, and ate well Bor
ed with a Variety of Fish, which are an ex
cellent Acquisition to our market. The beau
tiful River Ohio is made by a Junction of the
Waters of Allegbasg and Monongahela, at the
Distance of about one fourth of 1 Mile foufh
of the Town. The Tiwn itfelf, is situated
on a large Plain, at the Point between the firft
meritioned Rivet's and a Point of Land which
runs by it on the ealtern fide. It is a Place
of considerable Trade, and Contains about
two hundred Houses, Stores, and Shops, feme
of which are elegant. 'We can find in this
little Village all the Necessaries and man, of
the Luxuries'cflife. Ostentation teems |o be
the prevailing Passion of the Pittjbargbers : Bil
liards lead many Officers arid Citizens astray,
and Cards are too often introduced.
" Our Army at present contains a Num
ber Jack Asses: Short will be their Lives:
God speed their flight. Lieutenant S. Cock
rar lias led the Van, and took "his flight be
tween two Days.
" This is the fineft part of Amrita— the
Very Eden of it— Heaven itfelf is .alone more
pleasant. We have now and then a Duel for
variety—then a Ball—then on Fatigue—then
Tea with the Ladies, and you are Do&or
enow to know that Tea is fine after Fatigue."
He fays, the Chiefs of the Six Nations, late
ly deputed aud commissioned by the President
oi the United States on a Mission to the hcftile
Tribes, assembled in Council at the Miami Vil
lage, are returned home, having happily suc
ceeded in bringing about a Citation of Arms
between the said Indians and the United States,
to continue until the spring of 1793 ; and that
in the Interim they are ready and willing to
enter into Negociations with Committoners,
on the Part ot Congress, for bringing about
and eftabiilhiLg a firm and lasting Pegce with
the United Stalest
The fiid Chiefs add, that the Indians at the
Council, contrary to th^ir most sanguine cx
peaatiGus, received them with a great deal of
Cordiality; ftyiing them their elder Brothers,
end trea ingthem as such in the most courteous
arid ifen@y Manner; and that they paid every
potable Degree of Refped and A Mention to the
Talks Which were delivered to them from the
President of the United States.
