French Successes continued.
CHRONICLE— boston, jan. 5.
From FR ANCE—direct.
Yesterday arrived here the ship
Five Brothers, Capt. G. Bradford, in
55 days from L'Orient. We have
not time to make any tranflacioos
from the papers brought by this ar
rival, for this dy's paper ; but in
general terms we can state the follow
ing particulars, which the Captain was
so obliging as to communicate to the
Editors. He fays that the brilliant
successes which have crowned the
French arms during the summer, con
tinued uninterrupted, and vidory still
declared for the Republic, when he
left France. The latest events were
the taking of Venloo, in Holland,
and a very considerable defeat of the
Spaoifh army in the Pytennees, io
which they left 2500 men dead on
the field, and as many taken prifoa
ers, with a number of cannon and
military floret. The Captain also in
forms, that he learnt from the Ameri
can Cooful at L'Orient, th&morning
before he failed, that an express had
arrived the evening preceding from
Brest, informing that the Alexander,
an English 74 gun ship, had been
taken and brought into that port, by
a (mail division of French (hips:
* A town of Dutch Guelderland,feuate tin the
river Mafe, nine mites Joutb of Guelders,ftrongly

Philadelphia, dec. 26.
Yesterday arrived from the weft
!ward and were lodged io the jail of
this city, 20 of the iofurgeots. They
%< '\^"W 1 #
are such of th, prifonets confined in
the gatfifon at Putfburgh, as were re
fused bail ; the residue (about 100)
are admitted to bail. They were es
corted bithef by a troop' of Jersey
horse, under the command of Major
Dunham.
Melancholy Fire.
:___-
About 8 o'clock last evening, rhe
German Lutheran Church (corner of
Fourth-ftreer, and Cherry-Alley) was
difeovered to be on fire, and after
burning near four hours this immense
and elegant building was entirely con
sumed. No houses being immedi
ately contiguous to it, the citizens,
by the greatest exertions of industry
and activity, were enabled to prevent
the further ravages of the deftruclive
element. This Church was one of
the most splendid in the Union, and
was fuppoled to be worth 15,0001.
Weftindia Fleet.
Several vtffels have arrived from
Martinique, in a short passage. It ap
pears from the report of several offi
cers and Captains, that Geo. Vaughn,
with some men of war, and from one
to four thousand troops, had arrived
there. After having disapproved of
the extortion of Jervis, and the tyran
nical proclamation of Gen. Gray, he
went immediately to the relief of Gen.
Prescott, who continued to be invest
ed in the fort of Basseterre. , It ap
pears also, that some French forces
had arrived in that quarter, and some
thing decisive was expeded in a few
days. —An English (loop of war had
arrived there very much disabled.
Summary.
Salem, jan. 6.
Success still attends the French. —
They have taken Coblentz, with left
resistance than they found in 1688.
This was the late resort of the Emi
grants. Cleves also, the Capital of
Dutch, of Cleves, east of Brabant,
and fouth of Guelders, is in their
hands. It is said they have also tak
en Venloo. ' The reports favour the
belief, that the Dutch will not make
a vigorous opposition. We hear of
unexpected tranquility in France. —
That violence has ceased, and orders
are issued to retrieve the national char
acter by the punishment of all cruel
ties which have been committed. The
condud towards the Emigrants from
Lyons, and the recovery of the ancient
name, assist the belief that they have
not loft all regard to those sciences
and arts, which are the fubjeds of so
many decrees of the Convention.—-
We hope the report of the loss of the
Royal Library is not exactly true.—
With the glory of their arms, they
have been unable to unite the glory
of their marine.— The English state
the loss of the French ships of war at
66, carrying 3,194 guns, but their
own at 8 (hips, carrying only 216
guns. In Germany the Elector Pala
tine of Bavaria, has fignificd to the
Rhenith States, that it is their interest
to make peace with France, and the
intercourse between them and Gen.
Jourdan, make us believe a real ne
gociation. In Spain, great exertions
are made for the Navy and Army,
and there has been a royal ordinance
to convert Church Plate into Specie.
The French are marching against Bil
bos, and report fays against Pampe
-1000 Bermuda is yet insolent to our
trade, and the British are affiduoui to
reap every advantage from the fitua-,
tion of these inlands. 1 They are now
surveyed by order of government, and
(hey find a fate harbour for the frl'e
tnavy of England, in an open ipace,
four miles square, in good anchorage,
on the north fide of St. George's
fffod, entered fafely round the esft
etn point of the island, called St Ca
tharine's Point, also by the north
rocks through the opening in the
Ledge Flats.
Part of the Eoglifh Weftindia fleet
has §een captured by the French, and
the English have carried into Barba
does a French fljop of war. The
Democratic Societies have made an
appeal to the public in their own vin
dication ; the Democratic Society of
Philadelphia, and the Maffachufetis
Conftirutional Society at Boston. Pa
pers have appeared at Newyoik and
Baltimore, and the jerfies. A sober
remonstrance might have secured the
most happy effed upon rhefe inditu
@4%^ But the abuse so freely circu
lated, and in which each party has at
tempted co exceed, must inflame the
most dangerous passions of the people.
We are happy, that we are free from
the factious of both parties,,and may
justly condemn their excesses. We
learn from Georgia that the Gover
nor by proclamation has expressed
his detestation of the condua in a
late attempt to fettle upon the S. W.
fide of the Oconee, as leading to a
war. In Vermont, since 1781, the
rateable property of the State ha^ ris
en from £.149542, to £418,74,
Newhampfhire are providing for their
Circuit Courts, in order to facilitate
the administration of Justice. They
have agreed upon a remonstrance to
Congress receding the Ship M'Cla
ry, which had been condemned. A
petition has been before them for a
Bridge over the Connecticut, and a
committee on the petition of Weft
moreland has reported to extend the
boundary line of that and all other
towns on the Connecticut, across said
river to the westerly bounds of the
State. The Medical Society of Con
neaicut has propdfed its honorary Prize
Queftiona. The three for this year
relate to the preparations of antimony,
the common suppurating quinsy, and
of the cholic in its various fpecie#.
The naturalization Bill is yet depend
ing in Congreb, and benefits from
some new limitations are obvious.
The month of December continued
pleasant till it ended}
