Acorrefpondenc remarks that
the conduct of the ^militia
army now employed again ft the in
surgents, is one of the brightest
examples on the record of mankind
in favour of a free government erf
laws —The extreme injury which
individuals sustain in leaving their
families and private purluits, and
encountering the hardships of a
march at this advanced season of
the year, appears by those bravh
patriots to be utterly disregarded
*. A distance which in many* in
(lances of going and returning may
be calculated at one thousand
^iles, and perhaps on an average
from five to fix hundred.
Pride add diftindion of rank
seem to be aboliftied—There are
instances which deserve to be men

Capt. Stevenson in t wsJve weeks i
from Peterfburgh, informs,., that ‘
previous, co his failing accounts

taken Memel, and that in several
engagements they Kad with the
Pruflians, they were victorious and
made a considerable Daughter : he.
further adds, that the Pfuflians ’
were every day deserting to the J
Poiilh ftahdard. As the Prufliaa
army is under very severe dtfci*
pline, and one third of it common
ly compokd of foreigners, the
troops have always loft by dtieruun
more than any other armies in Eu- f
rope.
Memel is one.of the principal
seaport towns in Samoguia, and
its capture must be a levere blow
to Frederick William. By deicr
nons from his army, the Poles will
obtain the only thing they wanted ;
to insure their final fucceis, yiz.
discipline. By t^is seaport they
can have a ready correspondence

ought' immediately- to fur render
themselves to the civil authority

if there beany such pe<fons amongst

The very friendly receptionjof
Mr. Munroe by the French Con
vention must give pleasure ioj jhe
Americans ; as k indicates a dip
pbfitioh on their part, to live.in
peace with the United States,
without involving them m the
preienc war. It is much fur the
iatertft of this count* 7 to. -be 'on
good terms with all the power* of
, Europe j and at this epochs it
is peculiarly fortunate for us
co have a friendly intercourse
with a nation which is unquoftion
ably fifing to be the mo ft power
ful of any in Europe. Akhe* we
cannot agree with Mr., Munroe,
when he lays the government pt
France and of the United States
have a near resem blance, and are
founded on the fame principles; ;
as the prefer? government pf France
is, perhaps neceffariiy, the most
despot c, capricious, and changea
ble now known, and not like any
Other government on earth; yet
it is the aim and determination of
the French to^hbliffi a free Re
public ; and iheir principles^ tho*
not fettled, have this for their ob
je±t. The French have yet many
crude notions about a republican
government; drey have much to
learn, and they may, if not too
wife already, learn much from our
experience, and the model of our .
government. But i< is expectable
that many of their wild theories
will lead them into errors, whiefh.
stubborn experience alone can
correct. They will wait’for that
experience i in the mean time the
sameness of our views and willies
must serve to unite and cement our
national connection.
