I offer myfelf because I lee no otner gene

salvation at heart, and the independence Oj

last extremity."
The following is copied from a London
paper of April 20.
" The intelligence which we communi
cated on Monday last, refpefting general;
Miranda, Stingen, and Lanoue, we welt
hopeful would have proved unfounded.
Subsequent advices, however, put it be
yond doubt, that they had fullered on the
leaffold. The fame advices state, that
Santerre, the commandant general of Pa
ris, has been appointed commander in chief
of the French armies. It is also confit ine
that Conde lias surrendered to the Auftn
ans. Valenciennes is regularly invelted.—
On the 13th instant Marat was arrcl.e l.
in consequence of»decree of the National
Convention, and committed to the lyifon
of the Abbaye."
By a veflel arrived here in three weeks
from Guadalolipe, we are informed that
great preparations are going on there
To repel the expected invafioil of the Kn
tiih ; that the difaffe&ed are impnfoned,
no persons allowed to leave that island or
M irtinique ; that several cruiters belong

those iQands ; that all American vellel!
werefearched for French property, none
being allowed to carry any provisions ta the
inhabitants.
The English admiral, Gardner, is arrived
in the Weft-Indies, with a squadron of two
(hips of 98 guns, five of 74, and two fri
gates, and when the last accounts came
away he was cruising to windward of
lique. Sir John Laforey has lent tlic
fruity to join admiral Gardner. iwo
other (hips of war have also joined the
fqnadron, and another has arrived at Bar
badoes with troops.
General Dampierre, who after Dumoti
rier'sdefeftion took the command of the
French northern army, is a lincere Repub
lican, and an officer of conftderable milita
ry talents. This we have from a person
whu fsveval .'go, bsfvri wy ulea at
Dumourier'. treachery was entei t.uned,
declared Duinuurser an ftriftocrat at li^art.
The official intelligence that follows ap
pears in a French l'aiis paper of April B.—
" The posture ofaffairson our frontier is
hourly becoming more& moreencouraging.
Djimourier is nearly abandoned, and the
different corps of the northern army are
rapidly organizing into an invincible pha
lanx. The traitor in his flight had a nar
row escape from the fire of feveraJ bat
talions; his horse was killed under him,
a,.ci one of his a'.d-de-ca:nps fell by his
fide. All the heavy artillery is returned
f.,t'e to Valenciennes, and all the provision
ltores and ammunition to Douay. The
fortified towns on the frontier are in the
best poflible state of defence against the at
tack's of any force whatever, ai;d in a very
fliort time, from the exertions that art
making, will be proof most obftin.itt
fieffe, and provided ejmy necefl'ar>
for a great length of*Tme; WTiil e the ene
my are in an exhausted country, and mini
bring e\ irv brcakfad they make fotne hun
dreds of miles. Thus, it is to be hoped,
the check that treason has effeited on us,
will only ftrve in the end to disgrace the
traitors who perpetrated it; and it will
be fio small advantage to the republican
cause, if this event cures the French of the ir
extravagant idolatry for individuals, and
that filly propensity to enthusiastic adnn
lation of i heir leaders, upon every traulieut
gale of futcefs. Ignorant or ill tlifpoied

Copy of a'letter from V iennu, *jth March.
" Tile hopes of this court are not at all
abated : it flatters itfelf that tlie league of
despotic powers againlt France can meet
with few or no obllacles; no expence, no
pains are spar.cl to increase the number ot
combined enemies. The court of Vienna
particularly applauds herfelf for having io
happily diverted the attention of the peo
ple from their true interest, and entirely
corrupted their opinion in regard to the
nature ofthe French revolution. The no
bility, and all who hold a share i-n the ad
ministration of the government appear
enthulialHcplly devoted to the cauie ot
kings. However, notwithstanding all their
brilliant hopes, there is a fort of disquiet
prevailing among them vilible to the
fliohteft observer. The conlideratiuti,
that if republican France is not cnilhecl
and the war ended the prelent campaign,
gives extreme uneasiness, it being certain
thac prolonging it another year w ill involve
the "overnment in inextricable difficulties.
This reflexion alone damps the jov ot the
Germans even on the reception of the molt
favourable news. The people ofrepub.i
can France begin to be e.n object of terror,
and there is the ftrongelt rcul'on to believe
ihat the house of Aphria has at this mo
ment a set of proportions drawn up to
make peace with France upon any terms,
provided (he expressly disavows the repub
ican fyltern. There is another confa.era
ion that gives the prevailing party here no
mall trouble. It is forefeen that Fiance
tvill become a more military nation thai>
?ver by being preiled with the "league ot
joweis : the confequeiue will be that the
eague will be deserted by lome, and the
magnanimous exertions of France will £ a " 1
ter alliesaniong other powers. France will
.lien be at liberty to hurl perpetual ven
veance upon the house of Aultriajfrom gen
ration togeneration, till all her tyrants are
extincther peopU lree-,— 1 he present cam
paign will cxhi-.ult the vigour cf the ceffl
jination in a great titfgree, for every thing
w ill be done that it is puflible to do. Ten
.ot.Sand Croats are inarching to join Gen.
Wurmfer, who are deligned to enter Al
!a:e. The remembrance of the cruelties
ommitted in this department in 1744 by
: icfe barbarians is still alive, although the
French at lalk expelled them with horrid
fljuzhter. It is hoped they will again ex-
a fiiruiar fact froiii the hands of
free people."
