Extraordinary, published on the 24th
of May at Tournay, by the Emperor,
who after recapitulating the success of
his troops, goes on thus :
>“But his imperial Majesty only

The enemy has loft at least 6000

An article from Vienna, dated May
14, fays, according to the last letters
from Cracow, Gen. Kofciufcow has
effected a jundion with the Lithuani
an army under Brefack, a Cossack.—
This part of the Polish army, it is ad
ded, is 40,000 strong ; the greatest
part Cossacks and Tartars, and the
rest troops of the line. It is further
mentioned that Kofciufco&'s purpole
is to invade the Ruffian territory.
-The rest of the insurgents under Mo
kronewfki and Maddirfki, are op
posed to the Prussians, and are nearly
as numerous as the other body. They
have between them 550 pieces of
cannon. Gen. Raumer, the Prussian
commandant at Dantzick, has assured
the inhabitants that he has no doubt
of their attachment to his Proffian
Majesty, butyhly wished to convince
the malcontents at Warsaw, that he is
prepared for an attack.
July 3. There never was a na
tion more completely duped than:
England throughout the whole of the
prefeot war. She was the last involv
ed in the bufineft, but, either through
pride or folly, soon became the prin
cipal. She (till prefifts, chough the
King of Pruffii has withdrawn him
felf, and the Spaniards are on the eve
of acknowledging what we must in
the end do, the French Republic.
The Emperor is unable to fightmuch
longer without a subsidy ; the Em
press has not, nor will afford us the
least assistance, and in this reduced fit
nation, are we carrying on a war a
gatoft the innumerable armies of the
French Republic.
The greatest consternation, we are
informed prevails through Holland.
The army of the allies, if we rakerin
to the account the fhameful absence
of the Pruffim troops, does not consist
of more than 60,000 effective men,
while that of France is three times
the number, and is recruited with dif
ciplioed soldiers after every a&ion.
In the course of this month, the ene
my are like) to be matters of all ma
ritime Flanders; and, if the Dutch
do not procure a peace we fee nothing
that can prevent them from being
matters of Amsterdam.
We trust that the Britilh charaaer
will not be tatoifhed by our acquiesc
ing in the declaration of Pacli, who
bas publickly proclaimed—That such
of the French shall be fold as (laves,
who are taken prisoners, and refufe
to cultivate the foil of Corfica.^
July 4, Yesterday at noon a mes.
fenger arrived at the Secretary of
State's office, with dispatches from
the lion. Mr. Trevor, his Majesty's
minister at Turin, which place he left
the 20th ult. These dispatches state,
that seven hil of the French line,
with several frigates, were blocked up
by Lord Hood's fleet at the bay of
Gions, near the Hieres, from which
situation it was deemed impossible
they should escape.
This messenger puffed thro' Brus
sels and Ghent. It was said at Btyf
fels that the Prince of Saxe Cobourg,
with his army, was hill at Niveftty
The Duke of York, it was reported,
was (till at Renaix. Other reports flar
ed him co have reached Giammont.
His baggage and hotel had been sent
down the Dender and Scheldt to Ant
werp ; and from Graramonz he could
pursue his route in security down the
banki of those two rivers. Os the 4
battalion, of Hessians left in Tournay
by the Duke of York, two had join
ed him at Renaix, and the other two
were hourly expelled. They were
replaced in Tournay by Austrians.
The messenger saw Lord Moira's
army within 2 hours march of Ghent,
in the neighbourhood of which was
Gen. Clairfayt, who had already been
reinforced by Gen. Wolmoden with
some Hanoverians. He then puffed
on to Bruges, where he arrived at 5
o'clock on Tuefday morning. Just
as he entered the town, he discovered
that it was in possession of the French,
who had re-entered it on the feme
morning. at three o'clock. He accord
ingly turned back, but was soon after
pursued some distance by two of the
French light-horse, whom he evaded
by turning through a wood. From
thence he passed onto Fiufhing,
where he embarked for England.

Winchester, (Virginia) AUG.,it.
BY the late accounts from the Westward,
we are told, that the rioters of Pennsyl
vania do not confine their operations to their
own fate : They have visited Morgan Town,
and ordered the collector there residing, to
resign his office and papers, or they would
come and deftrby them with all his property.
They also lent him a letter, with a fictitious
signature; informing him, that on such a
night they would pay him a visit ; on such
repeated threats, the collector, with the ad
vice ot his friends, judged it prudent to de
camp—which he did, bringing with him his
records, &c.. —Agreeably to their riotice, a
number visited his house the night preceding
that appointed, but luckily were disappoint
ed of their intended object.
COUNTERPART.
We are happy to hear, that a very few only
of the Virgimahs approve these rebellious
proceedings of their neighbours ; and, it is
to be hoped their prudence will continue tQ
guard them from associating in measures,that
muff terminate in the punishment of those
persons who are guilty of such illegal con

RICHMOND, AUGUST 20.
We hear that the President of the United
States, Approves highly of the wife and vig
orous measures of our Governor, in foppreff
iqg the illicit privateer which was fitting out
at Smithfield. Happy would it have been
for America, had Jie fame disposition to sup
port the laws of:he Union prevailed in a fitter
state. We should not, at this day, have to
lament the resort of government to compul,
five, though neceflary measures to enfore
obedience to them in the neighbourhood of
Firifburgh. Was the public mind permitted
to seek the c^ufe of this opposition, it could
not hesitate to attribute it to the influence of
British gold—for, trace back the fubjeft, and
iff effe&s are to be discovered in every oppo
sition to government, from the Democratic
societies, down to the latent traducers of pub
lic agents, and fquibbers against the wisest
ads of administration.' Could Mr. Pitt, was
he to exert all. his mental faculties,, united
with all his wicked arts, to form a plan for
fubjeding us again under his yoke, fix on
one so likely to answer his purpose, as that of.
destroying the confidence of the people in
inma.iii.ui —
itheir government and its officers? But,'
thanks be to God, America is nty to be left
thus—dts citizens have the fulleft confidence
in the wtfdom and virtues of their beloved
President; and they are too just to censure
without invefligarion ; and wherever invefti
gation,as taken place, they have the hap-,
pinefs to find their agents acquitted with
honour to the eternal disgrace of their ac
cusers.

PHILADELPHIA, AUG. z 6.
SIR,
IT appears from a letter which the Secre
tary of State has addrefferi to me, dated the
zzd inst. thathis Britannic Majesty's Minis
ter Plenipotentiary, has complained of an
unfriendly treatment that the public (hips of
war and officers in the British service are said
to have experienced in the Amel lean ports ;
and be has particularly stated as instances of
hbfpitality, the denial of liberty to procure
water, and the encouragement of British tail
ors to desert. A conduft so reprehensible
and impolitic has not, I am persuaded, been f
manifefted by the citizens of Pennlylvania^
but with a view more effectually to secure to
the Blips, officers, and crews of every foreign
nation their refpeftive rights and to protea
them from any insult, you will be pleased to
give special inftruaions upon the fu bjeft, to
the harbour master, pilots, and other officers,
of the port. To the citizens at Urge, a re
fpe& for their own charaaer and interests,
will, I am confident, be fufficient to guard
them from any aft that can juftify reproach
or retaliation. I am, fir, yont most obedient
terrane, THOMAS MIFFLIN.

commit a murder upon any citizen of
the United State#, he or they should
be given up, and tried according to
