Some ingenious experiments are making
at present, by two clever mechanic, to
raiic the Royal G.orjt, which have been
attended with infinite success. Several i;uns,
) iltols, b yoatlj, Sic, have been taken from
the wreck ; and by means of a lantern
which keeps lighted under water, the diver
can fee the fituatioa of the ship and ex
amine every thing on deck. It is in
tended to lighten the vtffel as much a
pofiib'e, before the grand effort is made
to raise her from the deep. Should the
par,ies be fuccef»ful, of which they have
the molt fnngtiine hopes, they wili clear,

cannon ire bra s, whicn wiil fullain little

— Bets are now offered, that this ship will
be afloat before the expiration of the pre

Geneial Cudine I as returned to Mentz
with 40,000 men, determined to defend it
to the last extremity—the king of Prussia
and the Landgrave of Hesse advancing
upon him with 70,000 men—At Berlin,
warlike preparations going oh with the
utffioft alacrity, and every arrangement
making for a vigorous campaign early in
thefpring. On the Bth of December the
town of Koningftein, in pofleffion of the
French, was reduced to a(he6, by bombard
ment from the Prussians—the inhabitants
thereby reduced to beggary and misery.
Tne Elector of Hanover[George ITI Jhas
given orders to the regen v to fend on his
quota of troops, as his contingency for the
army of the empire. The Porte is arming
againit Ruftia, in hopes of obtaining some
advantages which they were compelled to
give up on making the last peace. The
General, Bournonville, is now mailer of
the whole territory between the rivers Sat
ard Mofclle: the heights of Vavrin,
guarded bv 3000 Auflrins, were taken on
the 12th v December, and the g?rrifon
difiodged. by 3 column of 1200 French
grenadiers only: The cliffs were covered
with snow.and the grenadiers were an hour
in zfcending : the Auflrians fled, leaving
a 7 pounder,-.car 900 killed and wounded,
too prif >ne s, and about 100 deserted.
The Nation .1 Convention has appointed
M. Genetl Ainbalfador to the United
States of America. M Le Brim, has de
dared to the National Convention, that
ttie SpanYi. Minifler had not concealed
from him, that one of the powerful mo
tives \vh ch had decided the king of Spain
to treat with France was, to be enabled to
influence the fate of the king, his cousin,
1. te Louis the 16th. The Fiench Com
mandant at Antwerp has written to the
London merchants, that the Scheld is
open to all trade, and promising protec
tion to all consignments, &c. made thro'
the medium of commerce on that river.
It seems to be the prevailing opinion in
Paris, that the sentence of the king will be
referred by the Convention to the rccon
of the Primary AfTemblies. The
next question is—whether the mob, who
are intent on his immediate death, will
permit such a reference. In either cafe, a
*erv serious tumult seems certain.
Letters from Paris, to Dec. 30, men
tion that the greatell quiet continues in
that capital, notwithstanding the resolution
paired in 3 feftious, to declare themselves
in a (late of infurre&ion if Louis is not
put to death the friends of tranquility and
justice are now fuffic ently numerous and
powerful to overawe the abettors of anar
chy.
" There is no longer a doubt that the
judgment of Louis will be referred to the
Primary AfTemblies of the republic, in
order to give more regularity and dignity
to that judgment which Europe is expe&
i ig with the moll anxious impatience —
The issue o» this interelling affair is there
fore flill uncertain ; i* is thought that moll
of the departments, if the decision is left
to them, will incline to banishment.—
Gen. Dumourier is in Paris, but the ob
ject of his journey was not reft, nor his
motive difconteiit, as reported. He is
very aflive with the executive council in
forming p'ans for the future operations o!
the army—a majority of the National
Convention has decided for at> appeal to
the Primary AfTemblies of the naton, in
legard to the fate of Louis—Joel Barlow,
(an Ameiican, from the (late of Connecti
cut) isileCleda member of the National
Convention for the department of Mont
Blanc. Tlie king of Naples has recogni
zed the pre font government of'FrarfcJ;
in tlie fame manner, and it is supposed, on
the fame grounds, that it is recognized
by Spain.—The king of Prussia is using
every effort to make a Hand rgainft the
F ench at Frankfort, and for undertaking
the fioge of Mentis, uhi Ii Gen. Cultine
had been lummoned to surrender, to which
he returned a spirited answer of refufal.
PRINCE EDWARD.
A letter from Canada informs, that a
confpracy had lately been discovered,
againlt the life of Prince Edward, fourth
son of George 111. and Colonel of the
seventh regiment of foot, now in that pro
vince The cause is supposed to have ori
ginated in the severity of discipline eftab
lifhed by the prince, and his repeated
whimsical alterations in the uniform and
equipments of his regiment, which occa
sioned many floppages in their pay : A
general meeting of the regiment it is said
had been agreed on,and the sfTaffination of
the prince ; which was to have been ex
ecuted in the following manner. A small
building n ar the prince's quaitet» was to
be set on fire, and an alarm given : three
of the conspirators were to lay wait and
fh&ot the prince on his appearance, and in
the midfl of the ennfufion, join their com
rades of the conspiracy, 60 in number,
provided with 60 rounds of cartridges
each, and make the belt of their way to
New England, by the new road, generally
called Arnold's road. The plot was re
vealcd t > the prince by one of the band of
music. who join ng in the mutiny, relented.
On receiving their information, the prince,
it is said, prepared to go to the barracks
perfedly undannted, but was dissuaded by
General Clark, the governor, who went
himfelf, ordered the regiment out, and
desired that all who were difTatisfied with
the prince would manifeft it by a certain
token, which it is afTorted, was given in
stantly, tiv all except the musician before
mentioned, and two others. The general
it is said then ordered three men of each
company to be arretted for trial, but their
fate w is not decideJ when our accounts left
Caiada.
The prince is said •to have indulged a
whim, limilar to that ofFiederick 111 of
Prussia, and to have embraced every op
portunity of procuring well built, large
men for l is regiment ; for this purpose he
bought ofFihe large men from other regi
ments, however abandoned in charafler,
procured the refufe of goals, and convicts
of every description, if of robull make and
tall, and on the whole had compacted the
tailed but word regiment, as to morals, in
the British service.

S 1 R,
WHEN all Europe have their eyes fix
ed on France, and every one who rovctes
the Rights of i\Jan, is admiring the mag
nanimous conduct of the French—l was
the other day molt sensibly affedted on
reading the account of the conduit of Ge
neral D umouriEr, when he presented
himfel before the Nationr.l Convention,
in the month of Odtober last. This offi
cer, whose military and literary talents
place him in a moll conspicuous light,
and who cannot but nofTefs the molt lefi
ned sentiments of honor, as well as exqni
site feel.ngs for thole marks of approba
tion which are conferred on diltinguifhed
merit—than which nothing can be dearer
to afoldier ; yet this great and celebrated
Citizen General, in the pr fence of that au •
gult assembly, took the Crojs of St. Lout;
from his brealt, and made an offering of it
at the shrine of Liberty ; thereby indica
ting that he disdained to wear, among a
free and equal people, any mark of dif
tindtion, evidenced by an Order or Devise
which could be conllrued, repugnant to
Liberty and Equality,
If the Cross of St. Louis, long worn in
France as an emblem of the diltinguillied
merit of the wearer, isjudged by this great
man as improper to be worn in a Republic,
how canl,a citizen of the renowned.imcriean
Republic, allow my name to Hand affixed
to an Injlitution, or wear a Devise which is
conllrued by many of our fellow citizens,
the indication of an Order and dj/linnicm in
foeiety\ Animated Ly tin's recent example
fcflhe Gallic Citizen '-eneral, I do hereby
tt'queft, that you will he plsafed to erase
my nam' from the institution of the Society
of the Cincinnati ) as 1 do from this mo

At the fame time. I pray you be adored,

any Devtfe or fnjlitution,as remembrancers.
While we are celebrating in high fefti
vity, the condudt and successes of our
French friends, let U3, if not already prac

appear evidently marked with propriety,
and calculated to eltablifh those principles,
which form the permanent balls of a gen

OFFICIAL LETTER
From the French Republic to the United
States of North-America, dated at
Paris, Decceinber 22, 1792.
" President of the United States
of North-America.
"Amidst the dorms which buffet our
infant liberty, it is a comfort to the French
republic, to have communication with a
republic founded as her own. Our bro
thers of the United States Will no doubt
Save heard with gladness, the new revolu
tion, which overthrew that lall obdacle to
our liberty. This revolution was necessa
ry. Royalty was (till exifiing, and in eve
ry constitution where it exists there is no
true liberty. Kings and Equality are in
compatible with each other ; it is their bu-
Cmefs to conspire against equality, and
against the sovereignty of nations.
" The United States of America w'l
liardly credit it ; the support which the
ancient French court had afforded them to
recover their independence, was only the
Fiuit of base speculation ; theii glory of
fended its ambitious viewj, and the am
i iffadors bore the criminal orders of (top
ping the career of their prosperity.
" Nay, it is only between free nations
ha; (incere and fraternal treaties can be
Formed. The liberty which the French
republic wishes to redore to the nations
that /hall call for her afiiftance, will not be
polluted with (imilar stains; it (hall be
pure like herfelf
" The immense didance which parts us
prevents your taking, in this glorious re
generation of Europe, that concern which
) our principles and palt combats reserved
to you. Single and alone against the co
a it ion of kings, we have (hewn ourselves
worthy of being called your brothers ;
and the ignominious retreat of their com
bined armies, Gennappe, Spires, Savoy,
Flanders—all these successes ought to call
to your remembrance Saratoga, Trenton,
and York-Town.
" When will the final term of our drug
gies come ? We do not yet know; but
tree Americans, rely on our coutage and
perseverance; not a Frenchman shall re
main, or they diall all be free. L : berty
[hall become exlintt in Europe, or our
principles (hall triumph every where over
the league of despots They have raised
'lorms againll us even in your own hemis
phere ; tiiey have excited our islands to
ebellion, but our principles and our arms
("ill finally give them again calm and prof
verity The United States "have contri
juted towards it, by the ample relief they
lave afforded our colonies at a moment
vlien France was too remote to give them
upport. Thar.ks to you, generous A
nericans—it is a debt which the gratitude
if the French republic discharges with
leartfelt fatisfaftion.
" The time is doubtless not far didant
ivhen the colonies, iar from being a fubjeft
if eternal rivalfhip and war, will only be
i farther tie among nations. The time is
lot far diltdnt when found policy shall lay
Jown the basis of commerce, not on ex
:lufive intereds, but on the conjoint inter
;fts of all, and on the nature of tilings.—
It depends on the courage of the United
States to accelerate the happy moment,
ind the French republic will eagerly give
ler concurrence to all the efforts they
liall make far rivetting the political and
:ommercial ties of two nations, who can
10 longer have but one common fenti
nent, since their princ'ples and intereds
ire common and the fame."
