A letter from Hoecht, d@ted Jan. 4, fays
" There has been much blood Shed to day, for the
Austrians and the French fought during federal
fairs with inconceivable heat, and many lives
were loft on both sides if we may judge of the
' killed from the number of the wounded who have
been bro%. in here. The advantage finally re
mained with the French ; and as the Austrians
bad their reinforcements on the other Tide of the
Mein, they could not come to their fuccour. The
French have neglected, we know not why, to take
advantage of their success, as they retired to Het
terfheim.".

The last French papers give ns reason to believe,
that very active preparations are making in mod

PROCLAMATION.
Os the Central Administration of the department of
the Loire inferieure.
The fofpenfion of arms concluded with the reb
els is nearly at an end. Ina few days either peace
will be made, or the war will be renewed.
Peace or War t Inhabitants of the Loire Inferi
eure,when yon can ebufe between these two ex
tremes, will you balance for an instant ? No, your
choice cannot be doubtful, and this difai& (hall
# not stream with blood anew. You are not fero,
cious. You will not rally yourselves with bandit
ti of robbers And assassins.
) Deluded men, if there yet be any who can thihk
lof following a party without hope, and who are
1 already overcome, open your eyes. The terrible
kffon 6f Experience is Still Written on every thing
that furrbunds you.
3 You fight, fay you, for your religion and for
your priests. Your priests are restored to you ; —
all forts of public worship are free, ami equally
protested. Why then do yon relume your arms?
that is for a King ? A king cannot longer exist in
France ^Royalty is forever banished, and no man
of sense can ever hope for its return.
Is it for the Noblefle ? remember that privileges
alone made the Nobles. Call to mind all they
exactions of which you were, of which you will
again be more than ever the victims! Will you
, be so blind as not to fee that your triumph, even
if you triumph were not impossible, would be for
you the greatest misfortunes ? When you can re
main free, do not fight that^oa may once more
become Slaves.,
Every thing that is just the government has
Igranted you. In promising to forget the past,
) they offer yml a generous pardon. Dread if you
'* do not accept their offer, the accomplishment ot
,their threats,
A numerous army Is charged to avenge the re
public. In a few days all the ruffians will be an
nihilated. Hatten then, while yet it is time, to
separate yourselves from them. Let them find no
where an asylum. In denying to them all pro
tection which is offered you.
And you, citizens of all the Cantons, numerous
friends of peace, unite yourselves— to arms against
frightful depredation. May it be forever extin
-1 guifhed ! Guide the republican columns. Fight
in the ranks of the brave men whom victory has
constantly crowned. Live the Republic!
We announced in one of our late papers that
' the chiefs of the Insurgents of the, whole left bank
of the Loire, extending to Montiocon, had accep
ted peace, and taken measures for disbanding all
their forces. We now hasten to' announce, that
the right bank has followed the example of the
left.
Letter from General Hedouville, Lieutenant of the
Commander in Chief.
Angers, 1 Pluviofe (Jan. 2t.)
Chatillon's division of Chouans has accepted
peace. This division comprehends part of the
departments of Mayenne and Loire, and of Infe
rior Loire, situated on*the right bank of the riv,
er Loire ; also the diftriCt of Caen in the depart
ment of Mayenne, andAhat of the left of the de
partment of Ilte-et-Vilaine. We mail except the
diftrid of Chateonneuf in the department of May
fane and Loire, which is occupied by Bourmont,
; who has his bands in La Sarthe and Mayenne —
If he doesnot follow rhe example of d'Antichamp
{fond Cbatillon, they will be p&fued with the ut
most vigor. I have reason to think that Prevalais,
who has his bandsin the departs of Ille-et-Vilaine,
Th^commander in chief, Brune, is going in
pursuit of Georges with so much activity, that the
attacks made upon him will no doubt completely
finish this intestine war. &.

In the British House of Lords, on the 12th Feb.
Lord Holland, after § very lengthy fpeeth, in
;which he highly censured the preparatory, pro

This motion was negatived after a short debate.

The fubjed of the Legislative Union of Irelands
with Gr^at-Britain, was laid before the Irilh Par

the Lord Lieutenant. The union is to take place
in J n. 180 X, and the two Kingdoms after that
period are to bear the name of the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland. This message
it wasmoved should be taken into consideration;
and a debate ensued ; when on a division, the
numbers flood — Ayes 158 —Noes 151—Majority
43, in favor of the Union.
Under the Hamburgh date of tire 4th of Feb.
we find the following articles ; " The intelligence
,is at length confirmed, that the Ruffian troops
have, in consequence of the differences existing
between Austria and Russia, received orders to re
turdtiome. This event has caused considerable
anxiety throughout Germany ; and England is
the only power that will be in a state, after the
re-establishment of the'ufual communication, to
effeft once more a change in the determination of
the Emperor Paul. Russia and England are on
such terms of reciprocal friendfhip, that every
thing may be hoped from^the interference of the
latter,• - &
" By the comments on this article, in the Lon
don papers the fag appears substantiated, that the
Emperor Paul waits to be coaxed by Great^rit
ain, before he will again cordially take his brother
of Austria by the hand. This circumstance, how
ever, has not abated the commanding tone which
the British minidry here assumed.
It appears probable that the High Consul of
France, is in treaty with the Sublime Porte ; for

CHARTESTON, MARCH 21.
A Gentleman who came passenger in the Ship
St. George, which arrived the evening before last
from Ocracock after a pairage 0f52 hours, informs
that as they were coming out ofthat inlet, a vessel
arrived there in a few days from Nassau, New-
Providence; the captain of which informed that
a vessel had arrived at Nassau; from Hallifax,
which informed thafa vessel of war .had arrived at
the last mentioned port from England, which bro't
out orders to all armed vessels to desist from crui
sing against French vessels, as a cessation of hoflili
ties had taken place ' between England and the
French republic for three months. Our informant
cannot tecollett exactly the passages these vessels
had, but at the time he was informed of it, by the
Nassau captain, it was concluded that the vessel
which arrived at Halifax; must have left England
about the 27th of January.•
As the refufal to treat with the French Repub
lic, made by the British Governrhenr, was as late
as the 4th of January, we are not inclined to be
lieve that there is much foundation for this report,
but as it is Within the verge of probability, we do
think it but proper to notice it.
Yesterday evening the arrival of the schooner
Liberty, in 6 days from Naflau, it was said, con
firmed the intelligence mentioned in the foregoing
paragraph. A gentleman who came in the fchr.
fays, that a vessel had arrived at Nassau, from
London, and another from Liverpool ; but he does
not recollect what passages they had ; that a pas
senger in the Liverpool vessel reported, that a ces
sation ofhoftilities had taken place tanteen the
English and French ; but that nothing io his know
ledge had been published in Nassau refpecling it,
and that it was generally, believed these to be a
flying report. No vessel had arrived at Nassau
from Hallifax, that our informant knows of.

1 have therefore thought fit, by and with advice
of Council, to appoint Thursday the 24th day of
April i<xt to be observed as a day of Humiliation,
Falling and Prayer throughout this "State—re
quettitig ministers and people, of every denomina

with penitent hearts, c,onfefs obr tranfgrellions,
and implore pardoning mercy ^through the re

That fefveut. ptayers be made to the Supreme

preferte the life & health of the Pfefidenti—guard

That our rulers may he jolt men, impressed
with a proper fehfe of the duties of their refpett

considering themselves not only accountable to
man, but to the Lord of the universe—
That the blessings of civil and religious liberty,
with which our country is so highly dittinguifhed,
may bejuftly estimated- -that we may be more and
more united in supporting our civil conftifutions,
laws and national rights— and the union of these
dates be perpetuated— ''
That those licentious principles arid opinions,
which have been so d^ftruftive to civil order, mo
rality and religion in some parts of the world,
may never prevail in our land—and that the evil
designs of our enemies may be frustrated—
That the seasons of the year may be overruled
in mercy—our agricultureand commerce prosper
ed, and our inftittitions for promoting education
abundantly blessed—
That we may have peace in our borders, and
health in our habitations—
That asap may be put to the progress of vice
and immorality—a Spirit of peace, nafmony and
chriftian charity abound, and the precepts of the
gospel be known and praftif& throughout the

And permit me to invite ydur attention on this
day of solemnity, to the recent loss our coun
try has sustained in the death of the illutirious and
beloved WASHINGTON ; and while with hu
mility we bow before the sovereign power of God,
in this afflicting dispensation, let us offer tip qur
prayers, that the great examples exhibited in the
life—and the excellent precepts, of this much re
vered man, may be deeply imprefled on the hearts
of all our people and rulers of our nation.
And I do recommend, that all persons religious

the solemnity of the day.

which anchored in the Delaware on the 3d inst.
and has brought despatches from Messrs; ElfTworth
and Davie, dated the loth of February, atßufgos,
in Spain. They had received the day before a let
ter from M. Talleyrand, the minister of foreign
affairs, covering,.their passports ; expressing im-„
patience for their arrival at Paris, and informing'
them, that the form of their letters of credence
(which were addressed to the Executive Directory)
would be no obstacle. to the opening of negocia

The, Envoys arrived at Lisbon 271^ of Nov. and
failed from thence bound to a port in France, but
after beating with continual head winds, 28 days,
bore away for Corunna, a port in Spain, where
they arrived on the Itth or Jan. and immediately
dispatched a courier to Paris, which is nearly , 1000
miles; it is not probable, therefore, that they will
reach there before the firlt of March.
The command fulfilled!
