Hostilities have already
Commenced against the little
Cantons. They write from
Arau, that " the General in
Chief Schbuenbourgh, sum
moned, by found of trumpet,
the village of Haglingen, in
the Canton of Zug,to surren
der. The inhabitants carried
their cruelty to such a height
that they cut the trumpeters
hands off. The French, great
ly irritated by this tranfaaion,
marched against the armed
troop that defended the vil
lage, took the place by affaulr,
and then set fire to it." -
Another a<ftion has since tak
en place, in which the peo
ple of Zug were defeated.

We are now in a manner de
livered up to the scourge of civil
war. The inhabitants of the Can

their march against us. Eight
hundred of the former are at Li

Lake, and 800 more near Mach.
The difpofitiona ot the country

/We yesterday ftopt the press to an
pounce that advices had been received at
the Admiralty from the ifhqd of Mar
cou, Rating treat a French Flotilla of go
gon vessels, with 5000 troops, had made
a vigorous attack upon that place, which
was so well prepared to resist :he # affau)t,
that, by a brisk and incessant fire kept up
from the batteries, the enemy were soon
repulsed with considerable lets,and oblig
ed to return to Havre. Six of their gun
boats are stated to have been funk, and a
greater part of the remainder so much
damaged, that many of them are suppos
ed to be unfit for further service ; their
loss of men, killed and taken prifoneM/s
(aid to amount to nearly 300. The En
giifh troops who so heroic!, distinguish
ed themselves on this occasion, were by
no means numerous, and consisted chief
ly, it is said, of Invalids. Weare happy
to add, that the loss on our fide Was very
trifling. [Morefirdg, new next <w^] %

A letter from Jeremie informs, that
the British have taken Tiburoon, Plym
outh, and one other post, and were in
full march for Aux Cayes.
Gen. Washington's letter to the Presi
dent of the U. 3. accepting the appoint
ment of Commander in Chief of the A
merican armies, renders this paper as
valuable as any thing ever published,
holy writ only excepted. It ought to be
kept in every house, to be read in public
and private every week, and banded down
from generation to generation, till time
Ihall be no more.
Some of our insignificant Jacobins

Government. Some of them complain
bitterly of the Sedition Aft Gag Bill as
they term it, and indeed it would not be
unjust it it was a CQ Bill to feme.
Gen. Washington.
The appointment and acceptance of
Gen. Waning on to command the ar.
mies of the United States, it an impor
tant event. It will add luftre and ref
peaability to our government, in the eyes
of the European World. His presence
will blow every latent spark of patriotism
into a flame ; brace every nerve; turn
every pruning hook into a sword ; and
call thousands to arms, who before never
handled a musket.
Some worthy citizens at the South
