n THE war is extremely sanguin

of Europe; the French have destroyed
in the course of this month, multitudes
of their enemies, in different engage

Dunkirk to Landau^ Our martial Duke
of York has been dwged to retreat from
the former of chefe places, with precipi
tation and disgrace, having loft a great
part of hi? ar.illery and Bores, with no

have of ccnfequence overrun a great
part of Weft Flanders, and Spread con
sternation and dismay to the very gates

Exeter, Sib February, 1794.
Our own hemefphereis very barren of
intelligence. One important article
however, most not be omitted.—The
French Minister has written a letter to
the President of the U. States, in which
he denies his authorifing the arming or
levying of men within the Un ted States;
yet in the fame breath frankly owns that
he has given commiftions to some repub
licans in S. Carolina, who intended to
expatriate tbemfelves ;■ that is, abandon
their country. This lettcr^the President
has laid before Congtefs.
This letter unfolds the plan of Mr.
Genets—lt seems an expedition against
(he Spanish settlement was intended, and
S force for this purpose has been railing
in S. Carolina, Under cmmi (lions from
Mr. Genet. This plan was kept as le
cret a» peflibk, but being detefled, its
progrtfs is happily checked.’ A scheme
of this kind would have been attended
with onp of these consequences.— Either
Spain would have immediately declared
war agaiaft the United States; or find
ingthe (theme was not countenanced by
government, she would have demanded
an indemn fication for all the mifchief
and loss which ihcfe expatriated renega
does might have done in her territory.
This, she would have had a right to de
mand and to receive; so that the scheme,
if it had involved us in a war, would
have cost us, perhaps millions of money.
It is with pleafurewe learn, that for
eign powers speak refpedfully of the
firmnefs with which the American gov
ernment has maintained its neutrality,
during the present war.
