turns his thanks to the worthy gentle
men who have cheerfully displayed
their generosity in purchaficg the
beef ; aad notwitbllanding all the a
bove disadvantages that these cattle
laboured under tor want of age, flail
feeding, dec. they are universally al
lowed by the bell judges of cattle, to
be the fatteft and heaviest pair that
ever were brought to this market, or
any other on this Continent that is
here known of.
These cattle were killed on Wed
nesday latt, and were weighed on Fri
day, in the presence of a number of
Spectators of the town.
The eight quarters of their beef
weighed 3°3 !
And the hides and tallow 585
3616
, It is remarkable that each ox weigh
ed alike to a pound ; the two fore
quarters of one ox weighed 440 wt.
each. It was remarked by gentle
men from various parts of Europe,
who viewed these cattle in this town,
that they had never seen their equal
before both as to their tize, and quali
ty of the beef.

From a London Paper,
FRIDAY evening, about dusk, a

for a negro, had the audacity to flop
a gentleman with a lady in a firgle

Common, and robbed them of their

" All that I can fay is, that
the Prussians are in a deplo
rable fituatiou —'the affair of
the 2otb has /hewn that the
soldiers of liberty are fuperi

"There is a division between
the^ Prussians, the Austri
ans, and the emigrants—the
latter are defoiled by the for
mer. The day before yefler
da, our chaffeurs took three of
them , threw themselves on
their knees and in vain re
queued to be jet at liberty.—
Several letters were found up
on them which fbewed their
criminal intentions, and a
great number of Louis, which
the captors divided among
them.
" At present there is a ver
bal suspension of hostilities. —
Some Prussian officers have
been to dine with Generals
Kellerman and Dumourier.
M. Heyman,uz emigrant of

was among that number. 'I he

PARIS, September 30.
THE position of the armies is still
the fame, and the Prussians are in
as much distress as ever. It is well
known that there have been private con
ferences between the Duke ofßrnnfwick,
Lucchefini, and some French officers ;
and it is fuppefed that these conferences
are intended to bring about some accom
modation between the contending pow
ers.
General Kellerman's
Camp, Sept. 25.
" Since the affair of thezoth
nothing has sassed between the

in fight of each other. That

Men are destroyed, for such is the dis
mal appendage of a monarch's occupa
tion tbut king's cannot kill opinions.—*
As little can they make them travel back
the way they came ; for after a prodigious
daughter of human beings, and after all
the hideous maflacrees which heroes
shall have atchieved, there will be nei
ther kings nor executioners, nor even
priefts,to make us unthink what we tho't,
or unsay what we have said. It will then
be necessary for kings to ftifle truth, ereft
tribunals of inquifitioD, put a flop to all
the printing.Preffee in Europe, silence the
English and every other free nation ;&
annihilate North. Americas This war
Those two questions will be long de
bated, on the one fide by men of sense,
and on the other by men of royalty.—
But the latter will, at firft have the ad
vantage, since they plead full handed, as
the phrase is. These contests will be so
many forms, which will open the revo
lution.
A grand fubjed of controversy, for the
eighteenth centuries ; namely, whether
nations belong to kings', or kings belong
to nations ; whether authority be insti
tuted for the pleasure of those who gov
ern, or for the happiness of those who
are governed ?
We have letters from Paris this
morning, which gave us the heads of
the mult important part of the proceed
ings in the Convention as late as the 3d
intt. ar noon, and place the truth of our
intelligence beyond the doubts of
fcepticifm itfelf.
Two letters, one from the Commis
sioners sent to the Camp at Chalons,and
another from General Dumourier, were
read in the Convention, stating, that the
enemy continued to retreat, and that
the road behind them was Brewed with
dead bodies. On visiting the camp
which they had quitted, 300 hories
were found dead and half eaten,
These letters farther Bated chat there
were 8000 sick in the Hospital Gener
al at grand Pre, and 5000 at Verdun.
General Dumourier was cf opinion that
the enemy could neither winter at Ver
dun nor Longwy, and that they would
effed their retreat through Luxemburgh.
Dilpatches were allo read from the
Department of Landes, informing the
Assembly of an invasion by the Spaniards
and requeuing that Commissioners might
be lent to Bayonne, on the Southern
frontiers to concert such measures as
might be nioft proper for the defence
of the country.

PAILA DELPHIA, Nov. 26,
In all we have read relpeding the Na.
tional Assembly and their proceedings,
we have no more reason to entertain an
unfavourable sentiment of them, than
they had in the course of the late Amer
ican war/o believe that we were (as often
represented) a&ing the part of lavages,
or of lawless abandoned rebels.

OUR readers will observe from the

Bead of General Dumourie'a army
having been forced to lay down their
arms, or having met with any thing like
