BOSTON, Dec. 26.
FROM EUROPE.
Dublin papers, as late as October
16th, assure us, That the King of
Prussia had actually informed the Em
peror and the Emigrants, that he in
tended to make a leparate peace with
the French, which was in a train of
accomplishment, notwithstanding the
Truce was broken up, after the firft
negotiation, in the latter part of Sep
tember :—
That the siege of Lille was railed by
the Austrians, in confeqaence of the
reinforcements which had matched to
{he fuccobr of that city :
That Spain had not yet joined id
hostilities against France; but wab
making some irffignificant prepara,
lions therefor :
That Portugal was arming 12,000
men, to join the invaders ; but they
had not marched: —
That the proportion made by the
King of Prussia to Gen. Dumourier,
refpeqing Louis XVI. was, " Make
" him your King,under the ftriaeft li
«'mits that any King was ever
rc placed: Do not content yourfelf
" with ty ng him up tike the King of
" England, to do nothing himlelf.—
“ Make him King of the Marhattas—
*' make him a ftadiholder—make him
# “ the principal Tax-Gatherer in the
'' country —give him 'only a place,
" that is all I aik ; and then 101 all
*' have a pretext for retiring."
Even this begging proposal was refu

THE LEYDEN GAZETTE,
Os O^oher 5. has the followinng
paragraph : " The Duke of Brunf-
@f the United Scares, on a mif
tion co the hptlile tribes, assem
bled in council at the Miami
village, ate returned home, ha
ving happily Succeeded in bring
ing about a ceffAtion of arms
between the said Indians and
the United States —to continue
until the spring of 1793 —and
that, in the interim, they are
ready and willing to enter into
negotiations with commissioners
on the part of Congress, for
bringing about and eftabhfhing
a firm and lading peace with
the United States.
NE W-Y O R K, Dec. ig.
By Dunlap's American Daily Adver
liferuf Saturday [aft, we learn that the
account of the retreat of the Duke of
Bufawick, caused a grand exultation
over the city of Philadelphia, and the
rejoicing bells were rung, io testimony
of the exquisite pleasure which the free,
citizens of America feel, from the glo
rious news of the retreat of the combine
ed armies, who had inhumanly menca
ed the freedom of France.
The said chiefs add, that the
Indians at the council contrary
to their most sanguine expecta
tions,received them with a great
deal of cordiality —(tiling them
their elder brothers, and treat
ing them as such in the most
courteous and friendly manner ;
and that they paid every poffi
bie degree of refped and atten
tion to the talks which were de
liveredthem from the President
of the United Stares.
The above information was
received in the Genefee fetele
ment (as might well be expert,
ed) with.the highest degree of
fatisfadion ; and it has already
given a new Spring to the
spirit of improvement, as well
as to all kinds of bufefs in
that new and flourishing pirc of
the union.
wick has formally declared to the
Prince of Conde, chat the glory of the
Proffian ?rmi has been exposed, and
that the King was disposed co make
known, and to publish in everr court
of Europe, that he has been deceived
by rhe Emigrant, refpediug the senti
ments of the major pare of the French
nation.
* Al! advices from Berlin agree in
saving that a great fermentation pre
vails in that city, and that the people
exclaim joudly against the conduct of
the King of Praffia, who, to fatisfy a
momentary impulse of vain glory is
exhhauliing his country of men and
money. These considerations have
occasioned a coolness between the G
enerals of the Emperour and these of
the King of Prussia, who dreading fame
commotion in his own kingdom,with
es to extricate himfelf from the league
formed against France with as little
hurt to himfelf as he can, by throwing
all the odium on the Emigrant Prin
ces, who indeed have imposed upon
the Pruzans, by making them be
lieve that the campaign would only
be a pleasant fbmmer excursion.
'' Letters from that quarter, dated
the 12th of November inform, that an
attack has been made uponMoruepele
a post occupied by the negroes, which
commands the camp of CleruTe.
'' M. d Affas,who commanded this
attack drove the rebels from the post
but unaccountably gave dp his advan
tage, by leaving the post, taking with
him a spiked cannon which the rebels
bad left behind. The negroes had
time to carry off what artillery was
ferviceabie..
"As soon as M. d Affas left the
post, thenegroes returned arid contin
ued to annoy the camp at Cleriffe. —

man, Esq. at Portland,dated Dec. 24.
" Capt. Titcomb, of the ship A
riadne, has this moment arrived here
from Liverpool, and brings papers to
the zoth October,containing great and
good News from France—they inform,
that the French have Totally /Routed
their Enemies—that the Pruffiaus are
Entirely driven out of France. The
rest of the Invaders, who have not
been killed, t^ken, or who have no;
deferred, are Surrounded ! and must
soon surrender.”
In addition to the above we add,
from the belt authority; That the
liege of Lisle was railed— and its be
siegers retreating with the,ref/ —That
the French had taken Womrs, Spiers,
and Manheim from, the Austrians,

taken several towns in Auffrian Flan

which has baffled all the calculations
