LONDON, ^0 it.
The circomflances of Gen.^a^ocj'
attempt on his own life are laid to be 1
as follows:— The General who is a
man of the highest sense of honor, be
ing very much affefled by the miscar
riage of a part of the army which he
conduced in the last battle against
Tippoo, and which was misguided in
the night by those to whom they had
rntrufled that charge, had conceived
the fatal refoluticn of destroying him
felf, rather than live with such a Hain
on his military character. Lord Corn,
avalits, who had the gieateft efleem
for him, had font to invite him to be
prefect at the reception of the two sons
of Tippoo Saib, who were to be bro't
as hottages to the English camp: Gen.
Meadows answered, that he must tide;
for his health, and had some particu-|
lar matters to arrange in his tent, and|
therefore beged his Lofdfbip would,
excuse his appearance at that cercmc
ny. In the morning he tock a short
ride, came heme, took the piftcis
out of his holders, and went into Lis
tent: Scon after he entered a pillol
shot was heard ; on which some officers,
his friends,ran in, and found the Gen
eral wounded in his fide, with a pifid
at his temples, which he was just about
to fire —they flopped his hand — and
expostulating with him on the r;lh ad
he was about to commit, he told them
that the miscarriage which bad hap
pened to him had made him lick of
life, and that he could not enjoy any
comfort in future.—On this his friends
reasoned with him; brought him to
consent to give up any such purpose
and to Submit to a cure of the wound
which he had already given hirolelf in
the body, if it were feafible. The of
ficers found three balls in the piflol
which was held to his head when they
came in. The forgeons were then
sent for, who probed the wound
which the other difeharged pistol had
made in his body, and found only the
wadding of the charge in it- On ex
amination it was found, that, by the
motion of the horse, the balls of that
piilol which the General had difch&rg
ed into his body, had fallen out, and
they were found in the holders. By
such a providential circumstance was
the life of this worthy roan preserved.

Oftend of the— Capture of. the Mar ft

The only particulars ralating to this
extraordinary circumftarce, which
Capt. M'Pherfon could colled, were,
That the Marquis, accompanied bya

A melancholy accident
happened lately in Horfe
neck. An only son of Mr.
Jasper Mead, of that place,
about four years old, was
amusing himfelf by whip
ping the legs of a horse,
which was tied to a post,
when he received a kick
from theanimal which frac
।tured his skull in such man
ner, that on a perforation
being made, the brains iffu
-led out. There was very
I little hopes of his recovery,
when our informant left the
place.
Mr. Cannon informs us,
that a gentleman of Hudson
in eleven months, had boin
by his wife five children, a
believes that the above information
may be relied on, having received it
from Several perlons of veracity ; and
fays, was officially communicated to
the magistrates of Oftend. He did not
learn that any thing ofimportance has
transpired at Paris since the events of
the icth of Auguft,but undcrlluoo that
the French army was in the grea est
disorder, and that the Austrians had
captured ieveral firong polls.
It was reported that the Duke of
Brunswick had commenced his march
for Paris—and strong SuSpicions were
entertained agaieft M.La FAYETTE,
refpe&ing hi^ capture.
The people at Offend are of opinion
that the Duke of Brunswick is able to
march thro' ali France without meet
ing much oppefition.—This, however,
is eatier to fpeak,than it may be found
in anting.
When the combined armies were cn
the point of marching against France,
the word cf command was given by
the King of Frufia, in person.—
" Forivard march to Paris—and fight
bravely for God, the King, and his
wife." Genuine pathos.
Extract of a letter, (dated Pittfarg,
September 6th) prom a gentleman of
the arm,, to his Jriend in this place,
“ By this my frequent writing, you
may think that at this pest we have
nothing eife to mind ; but 1 assure you,
it is much the reverie :—There is rigid
duty and discipline in its purity.—
since my arrival 1 have been five days
and nights out of eight on piqued
guard, notwiihftandirg we have up
wards of 1200 men on the spot. We
have a variety of changes Sham
fights every few days,Suited to our an
ticipation of the reality.—This day we
had <ne, and (perhaps it is prelump
tion in me to fay it) every of the ma
noeuvres done with exadnefs and ac
curacy, to the great pleasure and fatis
fa&idn of the Commander in Chief.
The harmony that fabfats in camp, to
gether with the variegated icenes that
daily prelent theme esto view, must
certainly make the s;me Aide lightly
over, and the place agreeable to every
patriotic mind. Bur, thole reliefs,
treacherous, cowardly villains, sacrific
ing the good of their country, and
with it all principle, 1 mean the de
serters ; they meet the rewards justly
due to their crimes,— — Lilt Sunday
morning, dismal indeed was ibe Iceut!
three of them were shot in pursuance
of the Sentence of a cour martin!
Numbers have since been ^i'n. Ihave
been fitting as a memberi- the court
for four days paft,and car.ru 1, when
it will be diflolved. The vigiianceof
the firm soldier, and well d^pofed in
habitant, in the pursuit and detention
of those mifereants, is striking, and
worthy of the highest commendation."
