HOLAND.
Leyden? November 2.
THE sudden change of af
fairs, with regard to the
combined invaders of France,
is to many a perfed myftcry.
How is it to be accounted for,
fay they, that after such a fuc
cefsful progress the Duke of
Brunswick suddenly halted in
his career, between St. Men
chould and Chalons—and how
was it poflible, that after such
a variety of movements,, no one
of which materially injured his
plans, he Should all at once a
bandon the cause he had under
taken, and make an inglorious
retreat, worse in its consequen
ces to him than the absolute loss
ofa battle ? We need no lon
ger wonder, however, at this
event, when we confider that
the sorest of Argonne is the
Thermopylae of France ; and
that their new republick is chie
fly indebted to the discernment
of General Kellerman in time
ly poffeflir.g this invincible
post. This, and his fufaining
with so much frrmoefs the can
nonade of the 20th of Septem
ber, completely deranged all the
plans of the Duke of Bruns
wick.-
yeas 40, nays 20— The bill was then
ordered to be engrossed for a third
reading to-morrow.
A report was made from the com.
mittee that they had examined the
bill providing for the allowance of
interett on the fun, paid by order of
Congreb, as an indemnity to the per,
sons therein nanted- -The Speaker
Signed the bill; and,th§ clerk of the
House was ordered to acquaint the
Senate therewith.
The recent events of this
campaign have wholly disap
pointed the projected plan of
holding a pacific Congreis at
Luxembourg: At least, there
is no probability of such an ev
ent taking place this year. The
French, in, tiie career of their
successes, seem determined to
carry the most unqualified liber
ty thro' Europe,, and, extrava
gant as it may seem, talk of
nothing but exterminating ty
rants from every corner of the
civilized world.'
A message was received from the
Senate, that they have palled the bill
for ettablifhing a mint, and regulat
ing the copper coinage of the United
States ; and ihade several amendments
which were taken into confederation
and agreed to.
Amotion was made by Mr. Smith,
(S. C.) that the Attorney-General be
directed to report a table of fees in the
judicial courts of the United States,
at the next session—laid on the table.
THURSDAY, j an. 10.
The engroffed.bill to regulate claims
to invalid pensions, was read the
third time and parted.
Report was made from the commits
tee on enrolled bills, on the bill to
amend the aft establishing a mint and
regulating the copper coinage—
fpeaker then frgned the fame.
The House proceeded to confider
the report on the petition of the Illi
nois and Wabash land companies,
made the !aft session ; the report was
favourable to the petitioners. A mo
tion for referring the report to a com
mittee of the whole House was nega
tived.
Mach has been said of Spain
joining the belligerent league
againtt France : Ic ^ true chat
they ^re putting their frontier
into a state of defence, but that
is all, and merely meant byway
of precaution, and not offenfive
warfare. The rejection of royal
government in France has oc
calioned a prodigious fliock in
the minds.of the Spaniards,but
the prime minister teems fully
convinced that war with France
cannot be otherwise than ruin
ous to Spain—there is therefore,
every reason to chink that he will
persist in his pacific fyftem,noc-.
withstanding remonftrancesfrom
every quarter of the kingdom,
urging to a councrary measure.
Add to this 4 that the influence
of the clergy is in a declining
way in Spain, who in any other
age than the present might have
influenced the crown to the
support of despotism.
The English seem not ter
have viewed with a complaifanc
eye the French maritime expe
ditions to the Mediterranean.
Letters from Antibes mention,
that Admiral Truguet has tak
en a large Englilh ship going
into Nice with a load of mus

She was conduced to a fafe port.

POUGHKEEPSIE, Jan. 9.
ON Saturday hit a molt Shocking
murder was committed on the
body of Mr. Jacob Horton, miller, of
Fiihkill, by Ezra Mead, a Cotper.
It seems Mead had had force differ
ence with a lifter in law of Horton,
whom he abused at Horton's house ou
Saturday evening. Horton was difla
cisfied at the abuse and told him to
defi ft, or he would turn him out doors.
He tapped Horton on his (houlder and
desired him to walk to the door, and
he would tell him how the woman
had used him, and at the fame time
expressed the good terms they were
on (himfelf and Ho'rton) and hoped
they would not differ. Horton followed
him to the door: it being somewhat
slippery. Mead would have fallen had
not Horton have catched him, at the
fame time telling him to be careful.
Without any. conversation taking
place, and at the moment of his pre
venting the monster's hurting himfelf
by a fall, he received from Mead a
itab of a knife in his belly : on which
the horrid perpetrator made off. Hor
ton immediately called murder, and
some perlons running out. found him
Handing, holding up his bowels, which
had fallen cut by reason of the wound
received. He languished till Monday,
when he expired., ~
We are happy to inform the Pub
lic, that the murderer is fafely lodged
in goal in this town, 1 and we hope
will meet the reward he merits.
We learn, fays a late Virginia pa
per, that all hopes of accomplishing a
peace with the Weftern Indians is.
given up : The only terms on which
they will treat being, that the river
Ohio Shall be the boundary line ;
therefore, as it would include all the
New-Englahd and Summer's purchas
es, as well as the lands granted to the
officers of the Virginia line in the
late continental army, it is reafonabie
to suppose those terms will not be a
greed to.
PHILADELPHIA, fa. 17.
A report has been in circulation,
that Mr. Pitt, prime minister of
Great-Britain, has resigned—partic
ulars of this report are contained in
the following :
" Previous to the meeting of Par
liament, a cabinet coun j was called,
when Mr. Pitt proposed that a RE
FORM Should immediately be brought,
forward by the ministry, being the
best mode to quiet the minds of the
people—however, the rationality of
this measure was not adopted, and
finding himfelf in the minority of the
cabinet, he inftandy resigned ; the
temerity of such a step may likely
prove fatal to Britain, as he was a ve
ry popular minister, and much esteem
ed for his. integrity ; if infurredion
and commotion are to take place, this
must undoubtedly accelerate the busi
ness, and indeed if it Should happen,
it will' be a Signal for all Europe to
follow the Example. When this
country looks at the dreadful florin
which 'is gathering there, well may
they exclaim, " O fortanati nimipm,
fi foa bona norint."
There was lately deposited in Mr.
Peale's Museum, a specimen of ore
brought from a mine in the county of
Jefferfon, fouth weft territory of the
United States, 100 weight of which
produces 80 pounds of gdod lead.
A mine was lately difeovtred near
the Delaware,about thirty miles above
Eafton, which is said to contain ery
valuable silver ore : about 15 tons of it
was a few weeks since brought to this
city, and shipped for England.
