a perfect idea of the gloom

IT is utterly in vain for the
Emperor to trust to the
resources of his own domin

and unless he is countenanced
in making a loan in England,
his efforts must be feeble. The
King of Pruftia doesnot dis
guise his meaning. He either
is or effects to be poor, and he
fays explicitly, that he must

ALG IB RS, Nov. 3v r 793«
Dear Sir,
This it to inform you of my unha/ fate,
by bting captured by an Algerine \dgate,
within five leagues of Lijbon, on my at Burn/
bound pafage, and have been but thr ndays
in this place, where I found nine other Amer
icans ; andin case Jomething if not done soon
the whale Weftern Ocean will be inftftedwilh
their cruixerf, as they.have now (even ready
to fail, mounting from 30 to 4.4. guns, and are
fitting every thing at vtfels of war to cruixt
a gat nd the Amtricans, whom (by our Juffer
wg*) I line erely wijh may keep out of their
way, as their Jlaveryfar exceeds death, The
labor is very hard, and they give us nothing
but bread and water, andjo little of that, that
it is hardly Juffcient to fuflain life ; and un
less our humane Congrejs gives us feme small
allowance, to alleviate our fuff erings, we must
continue in the most abject slavery; every 0-
ther nation allow their countrymen in slavery
fonset king. We are dripped of every thing
when taken but life, and it is a Imo ((enough
to take that, to think of remaining in captiv
ity for lifetime, loaded with chains, and def
titute of every thing but horror, and hard la
borfrom sunrise till dark y utdejt a peace
should be made by our people, 1 expe3 to lin
ger out my days in this cruel place. My peo
ple keep-as good hearts as can be expeScd. I

dieuto my native foil,, friends and relatione.
' 1 am, Sir,
Four very humble servant,
WILLIAM FURNASS,
tier ; and letters from the
Rhine fay, that after the fatal
24th, Wurmfer had resolved,
by a Council of war to try the
issue of only one more attack,
to retrogade with all the force,
and to relume theftrong por
tion at Weillembourg,here to
make his last desperate (land.
On the 24th, according to dai
ly custom, he was attacked by
30,^00 Frenchmen, though he
had been reinforced by the
troops of the Palatinate, and
by the Prince de Conde, and
fought the whole day with his
usual courage and obstinacy,
his line was broken. His left
wing, in part composed of the
troops of the Palatinate, was
broken by the enemy, charged,
and routed towards the even
ing jandnothing but the night
saved them from total ruin.
The emigrants also left 500
on the field—and the whole
army is so exterminated, and
reduced by those daily attacks,
so harrafling as well as fomur
derous, that we have loft all
hopes of the capture of Lan
dau, or of being able to con
tinue in France.
Their loss was conliderable.
