LISLE, April 29.
MARSCHAL Rochambeav ar
rived here yesterday, about fix
at night ; and a council of Generals
and Colonels was immediately as
sembled. Six regiments of caval
ry and infantry immediately recei
ved the orders, for which they had
waited with the utmost impatience to
prepare for an expedition. The sig
nal for departure was that of joy, and
produced even a greater cffe&, than a
victory could have done in former pe
riods, Shouts of Vive la Nation:
Guerre aux Tyrants filled every pub
lick place.
At eight o'clock, the fame night
this army set out by the gate de fives,
where they were joined by another re
giment just then arrived.—There can
be no doubt, that the National colours
are now upon the. ramparts ofTournay
Ipres, Menin, Courtray, &c, under
which oof brothers, the Brebant and
Flemilh Patriots, are beginning to
breath the pure and celestial air of
liberty. If this expectation is verifi
ed there can be no doubt, that these
the firft conquests atchieved by liber
ty, will be celebrated to night in Lisle
by every demonstration of joy. Mons
is certainly in our. power ; and M. De
La Fayette has passed the Rhine, upon
his route towards Luxemberg. Mare
fchal Luckner is believed to have ta
ken several strong places, and to have
drove the Austrians beyond the pass
of Porentui. As to Marefchal Rocbam

On Saturday last, as a number of
boys were bathing in a brick pond,
near this city, one of them, wander
ing from the rest, got into a deep hole
and disappeared. After some time he
was miffed by his comrades, who at
firft supposed that he had designedly
hid himfelf; but at length several of
them beginning to entertain fears of
his being drowned, gave the alarm
to a man whom they observed passing
near the spot, who called to his assist
ance a number of workmen employed
in the brick-yard and all of them im
mediately plunged into the water in
search of the unfortunate lad. One
of them, who knew the deepest part
of the pond,with his feet felt the body,
went down, and immediately brought
it up, but in attempting to convey it
to another person let it go,and it funk
to the bottom, the man went down a
second time, and again bringing up
the body, the other received and car
ried k to the nearest house and laid it
on a blanket, to all appearance dead.
They immediately proceeded to rub
it with fair, which, in about 20 mi
nutes produced some flight fynproms
of returning animation, Succeeded by
a difehafge of water from the nefe.
At this time a physician arrived, who
recommended and assisted in the rub
bing, and in about 3 hours, to the
great fatisfadion of all present, the
lad was so far revived as to be able to
turn himfelf in bed, and is now ver,
well.
•'lt is fappofed that the boy must
have lain under water upwards of 20
minutes, ar.d had so much appearance
of a person that had utterly left the
functions of life, that some persons
present pronounced it unnecessary to
make any trials for his recovery—
the others, however were determined
to persevere, and happily fucceded.

ADDRESS.
To JOHN JAY, Esq. chief jfy of

Sir,
We beg leave to address you in the

Permit me to requefl the favor of
you to present to m, fellow citizen of
Lanfingburgh, my warm and hrcere
acknowledgments for the ho^cr they
have done me on this occasion ; and
to allure you, gentlemen, that the
manner in which you have conveyed
their fentimenu, adds to the fatis
fattion which they inspire. The ap
probation increases the ple^futes with
uhich Ire flea on ny erceaveurs to
Rive the cause of Liberty and my
Country ; that cause in which their
ardour and their firmnefs have been
diftirguifhed.
The various bounties of Heaven to
the people of this Rate have afforded
them abundant reason for gratiti.ee,
harmony and content; and every e
vent is to be regretted, that tends to
introduce difeerd ane complaint. Cir
cumflanced as 1 am in relation to one
you mention, 1 find myfelf refrained
by considerations of delacacy from par
ticular remarks. The citizens of the
Rate know the value of their Rights ;
and it is to be expected, as well as
flneerely to be wifned,that theireffertt
to assert and maintain them, will on
every occasion, be marked by tem
per and moderation as well as by
constancy and zeal.
In whatsoever Ration or situation I
may be placed, my attachment to my
country will remain unabated ; and I
shall always be happy in opportunities
of evidencing my refpe& and 'b^ft
wishes for the citizens of Lanfing
burgh. JOHNJAY.
However desirous we may be of fee
