PARI S, June 14.
M. Dumourier, the new war min
ister, entered on his functions yester
day, and commenced his career with
a very distressing part of his duty :
he read a letter from M, de la Fay
ette, detailing another unfortunate
affair, attended with the irreparable
loss of a brave able general, M. de
Gouvion, whose death is a publick;
, ra^mity—he lived giorioefly, and;
nobly fell in his country's cause.
■ The following is a copy of la Fay
r etteW dHputcbes :^ be con
cluded that nothing decisive has ta
{ken place, when, as usual, on com
paring it with the Austrian account,
it is found that each claims the ad
vantage:
" The Austrians have attacked
pur camp with fuperiour forces, and
have been repulsed, for we were in
formed of the projected attack. M.
Gouvion began the battle; and he
was bravely feconde'd by M. M.j
' Tracy, Narbonne and Maubourg.
The enemy abandoned their ground,
and (offered more than we ; we pur
feed them a league beyond the field
/ of battle Welhoukl have only to
L/ rejoice in this affair, if unhappily it
had not deprived the country of a
brave defender, and all good citizens
of.a friend, M. Gouvion. His sol
diers lament him ; the Parisian na
tional guard lament him; all good
citizens lament him. A cannon ball
terminated his honourable life. We
regret also M. Chazotte, Lt. Col. of
r Cote D'Or. This is the exa/t re-
J°!al_pf_the affair, which has taken
Iplace. I speak of my own personal
, affliction. My friends veep for me.
M. Gouvion had been my friend for
\ twenty years. We ioft twenty five
men ; the enemy more. We have
made feme prisoners ; the enemy
have made none.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.;
1 Friday, June 15.
, M. Dumas gave a recital of a tu
;mult that had taken place in the
camp of Neut Brifac, some of the
'foldiers having flopped four waggons
l on suspicion of their being loaded
'with warlike stores, and were pro
ceeding to unload them, when they
were prevented by M. d'Arlande,
the adjutanrgeneral, who sent to ap.
prize the Municipality of the circum
stance. The mayor, having been
assured by the proper clerk that the;
passports were regular, gave orders
for them to depart, but this did not
.prevent the soldiers from unloading
!them, which they equally found to
contain various kinds of arms and
warlike stores; This circumfiance
exasperated the soldiers, who imme
diately concluded M. d'Arlande and
the mayor to be accomplices in the;
business. They were only prevent;
• fro^toging rtetr-ty M. uTft^
bigni eaufing the general to be be^|
and the foppofab culprits to be im-'
prisoned, to relcwthem from .the
fury of the soldiers.
The department having examined!
the business, required the prisoners to
be released, and M. Broglio ordered
the grenadiers of the 30th regiment
to accompany him for that purpefe,
and to escort the prisoners ; but a cry
having arisen on all tides—" the,fall
not depart — toe will not permit it,"
the grenadiers refuted to march; and
were only forced to do so by a party
of Chafleurs, who advanced for .the
purpose, surrounded the grenadiers
and the prisoners, and thus compel
led them. The grenadiers, who had
refufed to march were immediately
conduced to Strasbourg, and lodged
in the citadel.
The opinion of the committee wa%
to compel, two battalions to point
out the guilty persons, but the af_
fembly ordered the plan of the de.
ciee to be previoudy printed.
The fitting terminated by a dey.ee'
that 300,000 mulcts should be deli
vered to the national guards of the
kingdom, and that the minister
should be supplied with money for
the purpose. '
M. Paftoret made a report, in the
name of the committee of publick
inftru&ion, on the plan of M. Paltoy,
forfeiting a National monument on
the ruins of the Baflile ; decreed,
rt That there shall be raised on the
site of the Baftile, a Square to.be
named, the Square ts Liberty —There
shall be raised a column supporting a
statue of liberty—the firft stone to be
laid on 14th Joly next, by a deputa
tion of the National Assembly.% ;
"The plans preferred by M. Pal
toy ate referred to the executive pow.
er, which shall appoint the artifta of
& capital and the departments to as-i
fift in the execution of th'e present de
cree. .
" The National Assembly wiling
to give M. Pally a testimony of gra
titude, grant him a portion of land on
the site of the Baftile." %
A considerable degree of ferment
has prevailed here ever since the king
removed his ministers, and refufed to
fanftion the decrees relative to the
banishment of the refractory clergy,
and the formation of a federative
camp.
The people assemble in crouds
, round the commons houte, and the
court have given orders that the
; gates of the Thuilleries be kept shut.
A successor has not yet been found
to M. Duranthoo, though the office
!has been offered to several.
Ain la Chapelle, June 14.'
The friends of the French revolu
tion in this country have some hope
that a change favourable to its inter
ests will take place in the court of|
Berlin, This hope is founded on two;
incidents—the firft, the march of the
!Ruffian troops into Poland ; the
Mother, the insincerity of the Piuffian
i court, which at firft appeared more
eerneft in the quarrel of Austria than
at present.
The greatest part of the Prussian
army is, however, at this time in
motion. The duke of Brunswick,
.who is commander in chief, will re
, pair to Coblentz, where every thing
/is prepared for his reception, at the
hateft on the 2d of July. The com
:bined armies, it is expected, will be
ready to aft by the end of chat
month.

Juneau
By private letters from Paris, we,
learn, that that capital is at present in
extreme disorder. The late changes
in the administration, and the firm
nefs of the king's refinance to certain
measures, have placed him in a fixa
tion of imminent danger. The queen,
always imputed origin of every ob
noxious ad, is virulently reviled,
:threatened and infolted. The Ja
cobins publickly talk of giving a
/very signal example to the world,
r May it be that of popular afcendency,
p osed with mildness and moderation !
A deputation of the citizens of the
Beaton of Croix-Pouge appeared at
;the bar of the Assembly, on Sunday,
, and delivered their fentimentsby the
imouth of their orator, in the fol
lowing terms :
“ For the four lift years the peo.
rple have been assailed with plots,
:which seem to have been favoured,
ifeconded, nay even concerted by
:thofe who fwrounded the executive
- power.,,
“ What evil genius has been the
adviser of Louis XVI. ? Forgetting
. hit perjuries, we have placed him up
fen he most brilliant throne in the
universe, and yet he hath forgotten
hi^benefador!
▼'You have ena<fted two most
excellent decrees, one against the
priesthood, another for forming a
camp of reserve, and he hath refufed
to fandion them ! You disbanded a
guard audaciously ariftocratick, and
he hath returned thanks to it for its
condoft,by means of a proclamation!
Most excellent ministers formed his
council— he hath dismissed them !
" This condud hath given us the
most lively alarm. We with to car
ry terrour to the ^hearts of coofpirfr
tors, and to teach them that the
conftiturion shall never perish, as long
as one of its defenders remain alive.
" Permit the Affembiies of this
ifedion to be permanent. Armed
and devoted to your cause, we shall;
then be able to fly to your defence)
in a fiogfe moment."'
The captain of a French Packer,
which arrived on Wednesday night
'at Dover, brings intelligence that a
[general aftion has taken place be
itween the French and Austrian ar- -
mies, that it was a hard fought bat
tle, attended with very great daugh
ter, the Austrians having 10,000 kill
ed and wounded, and the French up
wards of 5,000, but that the vidory
wal greatly in favour of the French.
Menen and some other places are
taken by the French, and they were
besieging Mons, which they expect

PITTSBURG, Aug. 4.
Extraa of a letter dated Buffaloe Creek,
"I left Fort-Franklin the 3d inst.
and arrived here the 11th in the #
evening, at the house of Mr. Winoy,
who informs me that upwards of
four thousand hostile Indians were
now assembled at the Miami village,
and that their number was daily in
creasing—Capt. Powel and federal
gentlemen of the British army dined
with me yesterday, and from their
conversion, 1 am fully convinced
that the Indians are fuppofted by the
British in the war against us— indeed,
Capt. Powel told me, that fall the
intentions of the Indians were well
known to them, and that the Indians
were their allies, and of course they
must support them—he also informed
ime that ten scouts of hostile Indians
were then out to strike on the fron
;tiers, and that they would foori strike
,the fix nations. — Seme of the chiefs
