WHILE some egregious politicians
have been clamouring for a
change of mealures, and prophesying a
change of men, it appears rather more
than probable, that they have calculated
among themselves, without confuting
the temper of the people, rind therefore
mav expe& a double disappointment —
for in cases where re-elections have not
taken place, the choice has been of truly
federal characters in refped to new can
didates. It may appear to be ablurd to
fay that party will Clamour without a
fubjed—but it is a truth—Thus “ emp

On the 16 h ult. a letter from Messrs.
Herbet, and Co. of Paris, addressed to
Congress, was read in the House of Re
prefentatives —in which they propose
that Congress should make them a grant

repulse in an attack they made on one

They fay if Congress are inclined to
attend to theif request, they would in
form them, that they have fifty shares
of one hundred pounds sterling each, to
be employed in their firft purchase—re
sulting from an instrument signed by
the three eldest fans of the King of Eng
land—an authenticated copy of which
is transmitted with their letter. This
instrument is a bond for one hundred
thousand pounds sterling, signed by
George, Prince of Wales—Frederick,
Duke of York—and William, Duke of
Clarence.
This fura was borrowed for twenty
five years, at five per cent per ann. pay

On Monday the 12th, the
boufe of Ebenezer Byram, on
beaver-creek(^tbranch of clinch)
feveri miles ftom Knoxville, was
attacked in the morning, about
fonrife, by a party of fifteen
Cherokee Indians. They beat
in the window with their toma
howks and preferred two rifles,
But before they could observe
their defined vi&ims,Mr.Byram
& Mr. Jefferies, the only 2 men
in the boufe, fired at the two
Indians who appeared at the
window, when they both fell &
the Indian party immediately
fled.

and found one of the Indians
dead, whom they scalped ; they
afterwards tracked the fugitives
about two miles, by the blood
of ther wounded companion—
here they found a considerable
quantity of blood, some human

wounded Indian expired, and
was carried off by his associates
as the bloody track was noJon
ger visible.
''Yefterday in the morning, we went
over on horseback a part cf the Camp
abandoned by the Prussians : it was cov
ered with the carcasses of more than
400 dead horses. This retreat if, as I
told you, a Ihameful flight. From thence
we went to visit our advanced guard,
which marches on from post to post in
pursuit of the enemy, and is command,
ed by btave Bournonville, the Ajax of
the army. I shall relate to you his
wonderful expeditions, which fill us wtth
joy every halt hour, tince the 30th of
September, he fends us prisoners, horses,
emigrants, waggon; loaded with bread,
brandy, arms and clothing, which he
takes every where, accompanied with
letters in a molt charming style of wit
and gaiety. Since the 30th of Sep
tember, Ajax Bournonville has addressed
to us, at the head quarters, near 600
prisoners, Pruffian^, Hadrians; and Em
igrants, 80 waggons, 1200 (beep, arid
more than an hundred oxen.„ Yester
day, in the evening, we made some of
thole milerable emigrants appear before
us ; they entreated us to have pity on
them, with their wonted baseness ; De.
courier anfwefed them, that their fate
would be decided by the nation.
We can, from the highest au
thority, assert, that a cessation
of hostilities has taken place
until June; and that from the
disposition of the late hostile
tribes of Indians, there is a prof
ped, that a lasting peace may
be concluded before that peri
od, on terms, which if not the
most advantageous to the Unit-,
ed States, will yet be preferable
to a state of continued warfare.
Capt. Thomas Putnam arrived here
on Saturdry from Gottenbrirg. He
foiled on the zzd of October ; some
days previous to which,there had been
no news from France, by reason of a
delay of the mails ; but in the after
noon of the 21st several posts which
had been due came in, bringing with
them' important intelligence refpe&ing
the war. Capt. Putnam's immediate
departure prevented his obtaining
particulars ; but he fays the purport of
ic was— That the Duke of Brunswick,
was Hying precipitately before the na
tional troops of France, and it was sup
posed he would not make a Hand until
he was clear out of the French territo.
ries— That in one aaion, some time in
October, the defpotick army loft 8000
men—and, in short, that such brilliant
faccefs was attending the arms of
France, as men fighting in the cause of
liberty deferred ; and such disgrace
befalling theenemiee of freedom, as
their cause richly demerited. This in
telligence was received at Gottenburg
with too great a degree of pleasure to
be concealed—those only, whose con
sequence and expedition were founded
upon the perpetuity of hereditary ty
ranny, were Chagrined at events so
contrary to their celufive dreams.

I LEFT my Child, named Margaret
Hogan, aged about four years, last
spring, with a Certain Nicholas Wil
liams, a Frenchman, then living near
Libertytown, for him to take care of
until I returned from Philadelphia, to
which place I was then going on busi
ness.— And now, on my return, find
that said Williams is moved away,with
my Child, to some place that all m,
vigilance has failed in finding out. —
Therefore, any person who can give
account where <he said Williams now
resides or can be found, and will take
the trouble to convey such intelligence
to the Printer inHagar's town,(7irg.)
will thereby confer a most lasting obli
gation on a poor difconfolare mother,
thus bereaved of her Child, and who
has no reward to offer other than
