I) News, both French and German,
amounts only to a Confirmation of the Intel
ligence, [published in the last Mirrovrj an
nouncing the precipitate Retreat of the Duke
of Brunhick's Army from France, &C. &c.-
We think it needless to fill out Paper, with
Declarations, Manifeftos, and a multiplicity
of similar Accounts, all which tend only to bn&
ultimatum, viz. That the Friends of Freedom in
France, bdue outgeneraled their Foes, and the En
emies of the Rights of Mankind-—and that the
Dukfe, the King of Pru/fa, and their Adher
ents, will gain out littfe Honour by their po
litical Farce !— —We congratulate the Lovers
of Liberty on the Success of our good Allies,
the French.
From Salem—fanuary 1.
Within a few Days past, there have been fe-I
veral Arrivals, at different Ports from Europe
the last of which was at Boston, from Lonaon, on
Saturday last—The Papers by these Arrivals
abound with Details oflhe uninterrupted Suc
cess of the French Armies; in all Quarters.—
The French have not merely a&ed on the de
fenfive : while Generals DumoUrieß, Kel
lerman, and Bournonville, were driv
ing the Duke of Bru^wick back from Cham
pagne—Custine, LabourdomNAfs, Mon
tesquieu, and Anselm, (the Sieges of
Thionville and L^.being raifedj were carrying
the War into the German Empire, Austrian
Flanders, and the Kirfg of Sardinia's 1 errito
ries.-—Custine had taken Spire, Worms, and
other Places in Germany, and laid them under
Contributions ; at Worms he exacted 2,400,000
Livres.—The Success of the. French Arms in
Flanders, had an evident miffed upon the Mind
of the lnhabitants-=t<CTr former Discontents
began to revive and ferment—and Govern
ment, apprehensive of the Issue, had ordered a
Body of Troops to Antwerp, the Centre of
the difeontented. —-Montesquieu had pen
etrated in'o Savoy — and Anselm, with an
Army from Marseilles, had taken Nee, Mental
ban, &c.
The Soldiers pursuing the Duke of Bruns
wick, were enriched by numerous Captures of
valuable Equipages, &c.—among others; the
Carriage of MonGeur the King's Brother was
taken ; also a Carriage loaded with Money,
These fuccefles appear to "have spread terror
_and Consternation among the Enemies of
France ; and the Result has been, an Agree
ment to a Tpdce between the combined Ar
mies and that of France; and the Appoint
ment ofa Congress, to be held at Buxembu ^,
in Austrian Flanders ; and we h6pe the final
iflue will be a Peace, favourable to the'Rights
of Man. J +
We published in a late Paper
that Spain had declared War a
gain# France. Since th^r Time,
the French Arms have been ftic
cefsfully levelled at their Foes :
itis new affijred.fr that Spain did,
not declare War again# France.
You know there is Policy in War!

Vouliers, Oaober I,f,
We have retraced our Steps co the
Place in which we were 15 Days ago.
We have been 10 Days in presence
ofthe French Army, without an Ac
tion, or a Cannon (hot on either fide.
The Time pafifed io Negotiations.—^
Baron de Br eteuil repaired to T#-
duß. —To this Minister it was, that
the King of Prussia and the ocher Prin
ces chiefly gave Credit after the Re,
treat of M. De Calonne, to uhofe
bad Calculations ate imputed, and as
appears, with Reason, all the Motions
haftity taken up, and ill digested, on
which Hopes ofc prompt and cheap
Success, were to readily entertained.
But for these fallacious Assurances, the
Entrance into a Country planted with
Fortresses from Life to the Rhine,
would not have bteen attempted '; or jf
attempted, would have b6en so Wfth
greater Means. M. De Br fteuil
watched Events at Verdun, efperiallv
white the French Army was furround~
ed almost on all Sides $y <he Allies,
I, NEWS is fcarcetetit-F#^
feiles at this Declaration : for, in Proportion
as News becomes scarce, we may conclude
Mankind become peaceable—For instance, if
every' Manminded his osn Business, and al
lowed his Neighbour to fit peaceably under bn
c^n Figtree, Peace and Unanimity would pre
vail-^and the World would become a Paradife
—" a Heaven here beloav." - —-— But —such is
Man—he will not be ha,,, in Peace ! He co
vets his Neighbour's Goods=or=his Wife!
and it is impossible to persuade him to do as be
auouldbe done 6,4— though Happy would it be
for us, could we be contepfrto begoverned by
this happifying Law !• This,Law ran parallel
with the Golden Age, when Justice, Truth
and Virtue were revered.--—-, —,-But, fhoulo
all these Things take Place,' what would be
come 6f : the Printed ? for his N^paper
would be good for Nothing without Nevts—,
Pray, what would he do ?— — Why he muff
lay by bis Newspapers for some pleafihg and
irferudive Book, which might foften the Man
ners, and ennoble the Heart - He midi trans
pose hjs Types, and indead of displaying the
Front of his Sheet with Bella ! Bella ! writ
ten in capital Letters, he must write in it—,
Peace ! .Peace ! Live, and Happinef, amongst all
Mankind / ^. ■■— Pflra I this is a Chimera !
a whimsical Notion ;!, —-Why fach Newspa

as for your inftrudive Books, you nad better

be very careful to cull ill the News-——-but
should it be fcaree n^w and then, as it is this
