awful experience ; it will not be known
at the day of judgment— but the con
trary—it was nor known by Jesus
Chjift when on earth—tho' he might
forefee that this error would rife, and
that fatan would play the fame game
to fopplanc and coin fopli, as before
in Eden, and therefore he conftanriy
inculcated in bis public difcourfei the
contrary sentiment, Enter ye io at the
strait gate,for wide is the gate & broad
is the way that Icadeth to deduction,
and many there be which go in there
at, because strait is the gate and nar
row is the way which leadeth to life,
and few thl^b^at find it—This,
as well as other ottigei, rips up the
foundation of Universalism. —Their
main argument is that Christ under
took to save the whole hum?n race.
But if this be the case, how comes he
to point out so particularly, -two dif
ferent ends there are bound to—the
one to deftrudion—the other co life
How comes he to inform us, that ma
ny will fay unto me in that day, that
is, of judgment, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name, and in
thy name cast out devils, and in thy
name done many wonderful works,
and then will I profefs unto them, I
never knew you, depart from me, ye
that work iniquity.—How comes he
to tell his hearers, if their hand or foot
offend thee cut them off, it is better
for you toeoter into life halt or maim
ed, than having two hands or feet to
be cast into hell, into the fire that
never shall be quenched, where their
worm dieth not, and the fire is nor
puenched — How comes he to add, in
the commission he gave to his disci
ples, he that believeth shall be saved,
—But he that believeth not shall be
damned—These declarations are total
ly inconfiftet with universal salvation,
and therefore the doctrine must con
sequently fall to the ground.

BY LAST EVENING'S MAIL,
PHILADELPHIA, JAN 23.
Were M. Genet co exercise a de
gree of candor, of which we believe
him capable, from hit natural frank
neft, we doubt not, but that he
" could a tale unfold,", that would
evince the'iminent danger in which
we ftoad, at the time he endeavoured,
" by orders from the Republic," to
involve us in War. That he was
ordered so to do, is a fad—yet have
the Democratic Clubs owed their ex
istence to the spirit of these orders,
and yet do they still go on. America
need but open her eyes on these vi
pers.
In yesterday's Gazette it was stated,
that the proprietors of the German
School• bad passed a vote " that no
political societies or clubs ffiould in
future hold their meetings in said
School House ;" on further informa
tion, we learn that the vote was pass
ed by a great majority of the mem
bers present of the vestry, or corpora
tion of the German Lutheran Society.
ELIZABETHTOWN, JAN. 21.
Monday evening, January 19, the
members of the Constitutional Asso
ciation of the Borough of Elizabeth
town, met for the choice of Officers.'
Matthias Willimafon, jun. Esq. was
chosen President—Colonel William
Craoe, Vice-President—Col, Aaron
Ogden, Secretary—and Wm. Shute,

A Committee of Correspondence
was alio elected, con lifting of twelve
members, in which the foregoing Of

bers. The meeting adjourned :—
the Corresponding Committee to next Mon
day, and the members of the Affoeiation, in
stated meeting, to the Monday following.
The objects of this affoeiation are briefly ex
' pressed in the following articles of incorpora
tion, to which one hundred and thirty in
-Ihabitants have already subscribed.
1. To contribute what in us lies to the
maintenance of thbfe principles, which ani
mated ,he heroes of the late war, and which
are now happily incorporated in the pres
ent invaluable Constitution of these United
States.
2. To fupportall legal and Constitutional
measures of government.
3. To raise a barrier against those torrents
of abuse, which, from different quarters) for
feme time part, have been, or may be un
justly poured forth against the present ad
ministration of our happy government.
14. To lay a foundation tor the bringing to
ffisch a portion of genuine Republican
as under God, may promifeaper

Letters from Hamburgh, mention, that
the gallant Kofciuiko survived his wounds
but a Short time; that after his death, his
_ head was fevered from his body, placed on a
pike, and carried through the ranks of the
Ruffian army.
A frelh plot has been difeovered at Rome,
against the life of his holing's the Pope ;
igoo persons are concerned in it, and 58 of
them are in custody.
BOSTON, JANUARY^!.
FOREI^JUMMARY.
Since our last, the Ship Nancy, Capt Tay
lor, has arrived here, from Lymington, Eng
land.—Papers by her are to the 161 b No
vember ; hut they contain nothing of pri
mary importance, except, that
It was reported, Maeflriebt
capitulated to the French forces, the sth
November, the garrison to retire to Germa-,
ny, not to serve against the French the pref
ent war.
The defeats of the Poles +
appears to be confirmed. Twelve thousand
Ruffians attacked, or surprised, Kofeiufko,
near the castle of Matfehoig witfets, on the
loth Oaober ; and after a vigorous aqd
brave refinance on the part of the Poles, who
twice repulsed their ^ffailants defeated this
gallant pupil of Washington. The loss of
the Poles, was 6000 killed, and 130 officers
and 2000 privates made prisoners ; among
the latter is Kosciusko, who was Severely
wounded. The Ruffians loft loco men.
this account is followed by another, of the
defeat of the Poles, near Bizefc, on the 18th
September. The Ruffians were the assail
ants, who were ten times repulsed by the
Poles, but who finally obtained the vidory.
The battle lasted eight hours.—The Poles
loft a great number of men, two mortars and
24 pieces of cannon. The consequence of
these defeats are, that the Poles have evacu
ated South Prussia, and are drawing up
round Warsaw. The source of the above
particulars is Ruffian ; we may therefore
hope, that we fee in them the worst fide of
the pidure, and that the reverse will be more
pleasing.
Nimeguen
was closely besieged by the French, and the
Combined Forces, which covered and gar
risoned it are on the retreat. The garrison,
on the 4th November, made an attack on the
French, but were in the issue driven back ;
with the loss of 200 killed and wounded.
The French, it is said, loft 500.
The fyftrians
have not yet affeded a ju&ion with the Brit
ish and Hanoverians ; but appear, as Teague
fays, to be advanceing backwards to their
own country.
, Mentz
was besieged by the French, and the armies
of the Rhine, Moselle, and the North were
in such pofitiops as to be able to give aid to
- the operations both on this city, and Nime

“ P. S. I have just learnt, that the news is
arrived at bead-quarters, of the surrender of
Matfricht,ff,
[LONDON, NOV; II —16.
To the surrender of Maeftricht, we must
ascribe the return of the Austrian troops, in
tended for the defence pf,Nimeguen, into
Germany. Prudence dictated, and juftifies,
the measure. Tothis circumffance also may
be imputed the Pririce of Brunswick's having
declined accepting the commandin Holland.
% From Germany the accounts concur in^
Rating that,he Prussians and Austrians have
crossed the Rhine with equal speed. The
enemy have taken Coblentz, arid all the com
bined powers, England excepted, appear to
wife the termination of Utilities. The King
of Prussia encourages bis troops by assuring
them, that he is no longer subsidized by this
country ; the Princes of the Empire mini
feft their Concurrence with the diet bFRatiG
bon. stated in another part of this paper, by * ^
fending a perSon?ge of- no lets importance
than the Baron Dahlberg, Co adjutor of
Mentz, to negociate a truce with the French
Republic.

morning, but did not bring any Italian bag
Or letters from Switzerland, which prevents
us from giving a copy of the treaty of peace
between France and Prussia, It contains fit
articles, and was Signed at Neufchatel on the
12th oflatt month.'
The French are now in fall pofledion of
all the left bark of the Rhine up to Meniz,
an extent of country equal to one half of old
France.
From Boston, Feb. 4. —lt has again been re
ported that Amjhrdam is taken b, the Fr»ncb=
no pofirive account — but if the Austrian army ba)
retrograded into Germany, as is said, the French
can take that rit, whenever the, ,hafe.
Maeftricht has capitulated to the French. Tbi
