The Circuit court, upon receipt of the proofs aforesaid, shall forthwith proceed to examine into the nature of the wound, or other cause of disability of such applicant, and having ascertained the degree thereof, shall certify the same and transmit the result of their enquiry, in case, in their opinion, the applicant should be put on the pension list, to the Secretary at War, together with their opinion in writing, what proportion of the monthly pay of such applicant will be equivalent to the degree of disability ascertained in manner aforesaid.
Sec. 3. And he is further enacted, That the Clerk of the district Court, in each district, shall publish this act in such manner, as the Judge of the district Court shall think effectual to give general information thereof to the people of the district, and shall give like information of the times and places of holding the Circuit Courts in such district.

DUNKIRK, May 1.
Lille, May 3. Four thousand French troops including three regiments of cavalry, led by Count Dillon, went against Tourney, expecting the gates of the town to be opened to them, and that they should become masters of the place without the least difficulty. The garrison, who had been apprized of the intentions of the French, six and thirty hours before they attempted to put them in execution, made a vigorous resistance; upon which the three regiments of French cavalry, being suddenly seized with a panic, galloped away to Lille where they spread a report that their whole army had been surrounded by thirty thousand Austrians, and three thousand of them had been left dead on the field. The next day the main body, who had made good their retreat, arrived, and upon the muster, not more than sixty-one were found to be missing, twelve only of whom could be proved to have been killed. The French troops conceiving that their reception before Tourney had been owing to some treacherous conduct on the part of their leader, seized Count Dillon, cut off his head and legs, and carried his trunk to the Grand Place, where they burned it to ashes. A French Abbe, curate of St. Margaret's, who happened accidentally to be passing this scene of slaughter, and was suspected of having corresponded with the enemy, was also seized by them, and sacrificed upon the spot. They afterwards murdered their chief engineer, and two or three other officers, and killed three German soldiers, whom they had captured in their march. The next day, those of their troops who had been taken prisoners, returned to Lille from Tourney, having been released by the Austrians, and declared that they had been treated by their victors rather as friends and brethren, than as enemies and opponents.
Brussels, May 4. The loss of the French at their attack of Tourney, was two dragoons and several horses killed, forty soldiers of different regiments taken prisoners, four pieces of artillery, some provisions, baggage, and implements for intrenching. On the side of the Austrians, there are none either killed wounded, or missing. This happened on the 29th of April. On the same day another body of French troops entered the Austrian territory by Quevrain, who were opposed by 1800 Austrian infantry, and 14 or 1500 cavalry, and were obliged to retire with the loss of 20 men killed and several wounded. They halted at Boufflers where they remained in sight of the Austrians. The next day an action took place, which ended in the complete route of the French who lost on this occasion 250 men killed, and a considerable number taken prisoners, and five pieces of cannon left in the hands of the enemy. The main body of the French then retreated over the frontier line towards Valenciennes.
—May 10 Large bodies of French troops are on their march to reinforce their northern army. La Fayette's army is daily receiving reinforcements. He seems by his motion to be meditating some important attack.—As to the troops hostile to the French, it is computed, that the number of troops in the Netherlands from Luxemburg to the sea, from the several German powers, amounts to sixty thousand. In order to whet the appetites of these soldiers, and encourage them, all the plunder taken from the French is to be distributed amongst them.
An attack, similar to that on Tourney, was made on Mons, also on the 29th of April, by M. de Biron, at the head of 8 or 9000 French troops. The place had been reported to be badly fortified and its inhabitants disaffected, so that an easy conquest was expected. Six or seven
thousand Austrians, however, were found to be in defence of it, and after a very little firing the Queen's regiment, which was in the centre of the French army, gave way, and the commander in chief fled. Reports say that between 7 and 800 of the French were killed by the Austrian cavalry, who pursued them, among whom was a son of Gen. Rochambeau.
London, May 15. The brother of the unfortunate Count Dillon, who was hacked to pieces by his own soldiers, has petitioned the National Assembly, for what redress is in their power. They have determined to employ the most effectual means for the discovery and punishment of the assassins.
The king of Prussia has issued orders for 70,000 men to march, of which he was himself to take command. The advanced guard, when these accounts came away, was already in motion. Their objects is said to be a junction with the Austrian armies, to combine in an attack upon France.
A considerable force is arming at Brest to protect the French trade in the Mediterranean.
Paris, May 17. M. de Grave, minister at war, has resigned. The following is a translation of his letter on this occasion to the king:
SIRE. Paris, May 8. "In the present difficulties of the kingdom, nothing could induce me to quit the place which I hold from your majesty's confidence, but my powers being exhausted, and my conviction that I cannot be useful in the ministry, your Majesty, I hope, does justice to the motives that have guided my conduct hitherto, as well as to those under which I now act. For me, Sire, I carry with me a profound recollection of your virtues; and I regret that all the citizens have not had, like myself, an opportunity of witnessing your majesty's tender solicitude for, and attachment to the glory, the happiness and the liberty of the nation."
(Signed) GRAVE.
He is to be succeeded by Mr. Servan, Colonel of the 10th regiment.
A person has offered to the National Assembly the discovery of a balloon, that will carry 200 men, furnished with 48 pounders. He has been referred to the committee of arts.
The new government of Sweden has resolved to declare to all the courts of Europe that Sweden adopts a pacific system.
The conduct of the Count D'Aranda, first minister at the court of Spain, is more and more favorable to the French. Reparation is now made to such of them as had been injured by the former minister.
On the eighth of May, in the National Assembly, an address was voted entitled "The Representatives of the French people to the citizens armed for the defence of their country. It recommends discipline in very earnest terms to the soldiers, and adds, "for ourselves, unshaken in the midst of political tempests we will be on the watch against all plots and all the enemies of the empire. The world shall see whether we are the representatives of a great people, or the timid subjects of some of the kings of Europe. We have sworn never to capitulate with pride or tyranny. We will keep our oath—Death, death or victory and equality."
Ordered, that the executive power inform the assembly, eve-
ry eight days, of the enquiries made into the assassinations committed at Lille, of general Dillon and other officers.
Nine persons are already in custody, on account of the assassination of Count Dillon.
On the 13th inst. the minister of war informed the assembly that the whole regiment de Saxe, had deserted and gone over to the enemy. Three squadrons of the regiment de Barcine, have also deserted. The soldiers had taken with them two guidons (standard bearers) one of whom was retaken.
Alarming accounts are continually received of the number of troops that continue to desert. Certain information is received that 80,000 men, of the enemy, are daily expected in the neighbourhood of Mayence, who mean, if possible, to force their way into the centre of France and there fix their headquarters.
The assembly decreed yesterday that the three hundred million of assignats lately issued shall be exclusively appropriated to defray the expenses of the war.
M. de Rochambeau has resigned his command, and is succeeded by M. de Kating.
Coblentz. —The Count d'Artois is preparing his camp equipage, and the prince de Conde with shortly make his appearance at the head of 30,000 of his countrymen.
The Paris au Royaume and the Parisiens have their rendezvous at Coblentz, where the princes have ordered a convocation of the Paris, whose intention it is to put the king under Curatelle (as incapable of managing the affairs of the kingdom) and to appoint Monsieur Regent of the kingdom, and Count d'Artois Generalissimo of the forces.
The Austrian soldiers are deserting the colours of despotism, and enrolling themselves in our ranks,—a company of grenadiers have come over to the northern army, under Marshal Rochambeau, and have assured him that the example will be followed by thousands of the German troops: the Marshal has just taken a step that is glorious.
Perceiving from the manner in which the frontiers of Brabant are interwoven with those of France, and the posts being extremely multiplied and neighbouring, a number of trifling skirmishes must ensue, which, without benefiting the success of either army, must cause a dreadful carnage, he dispatched his Adjutant-general, Mr. Foilack to General Beaulieu, commander at Mons, proposing that all those small posts each party shall continue to respect each other, until such time as circumstances, or the state of war, might render it necessary to change the conduct.
May 14. Certain intelligence is received in Holland of the death of the Empress of Russia.
The regiment Royal Allamand has in totality deserted to the enemy. We regret the horses.
Several officers of Berchigny have deserted,—So much the better.
A letter from Lille informs that good order is perfectly restored among the troops: that from 150 to 200 Austrians, with National cockades, have arrived there, who informed, that there has been an insurrection at Tourney.
PARIS, May 1.  AUSTRIAN ACCOUNTS  Of the late DEFEAT of the FRENCH.
BRUSSELS, May 3. The declaration of the war had been scarcely received in this city, when we had information from the
frontiers, that Marshal de Rochambeau had assembled a large body of troops, with which he proposed to enter into the Austrian Flanders.
Orders were instantly issued for convoking our forces; and while one large body of men was detached towards Mons, another marched to the neighbourhood of Tourney.
News was received on the 27th, that a body of French troops had left Valenciennes, and were advancing towards Quevrichin and Crepin.
General Beaulieu sent notice on the 28th, that several regiments of the enemy's infantry, and one regiment of dragoons, forming an advanced guard, behind which was a large train of artillery, sustained by a considerable corps of infantry, had arrived in the neighbourhood of Quevrichin, and that he had ordered his own advanced guard to retire towards Boufflers.
We at the same time learned, that a detached body of men had been sent from Lille, and was on its march by Marquain towards Tourney.
Fresh intelligence soon arrived, that this last corps after obliging a picket of Tyrolese soldiers posted at Marquain to give way, had advanced beyond that place on the 29th; but that major general Count d'Happencourt, having brought up a battalion of the regiment of Carrafin, four companies of the regiment of Alson, two companies of de Ligne and four squadrons of the dragoons de la Tour, to the charge, and fired a few cannon shot, the enemy had betook themselves to flight, and repast our frontiers with such precipitation that it was impossible for our troops to come up with them. We however took possession of four pieces of artillery and some provisions, baggage and instruments used in intrenching.
AMERICAN NEWS.
BOSTON, June 2d.
Captain Kelsa, from Bilboa, which he left the beginning of May, confirms the accounts of the declaration of war by the French Nation against the house of Austria, and the other powers who have succoured and encouraged the French emigrants, and who have been menacing hostilities, and dictating terms to France. He further adds, that a merchant of great repute in Bilboa read him an account of a battle which had been fought by the French patriots, and the Germans in the Austrian Flanders—that it was on the 26th day of April, and that accounts had stated the loss on both sides at 7000 men, the action continuing from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. On which side victory declared itself, he did not understand, but supposes from the silence on that head, that it was dubious.
The captain further informs that the Spanish government entertained great fears of a revolution in that kingdom—that, as far as possible, all correspondence on political subjects were interdicted, and that the Inquisition Boat, visited every vessel on its arrival, to forbid the landing of any books, pamphlets, letters or news-papers, but such as were previously inspected. The captain and crew of all vessels were also forbidden speaking on the government or religion of Spain.
In lat. 42. 27, long. 17, off Cape Finistere, captain Kelsa was chased and brought to by a copper-bottomed cruiser of 38 guns and one hundred men. The captain of which asked captain Kelsa many questions, but the latter being under English colors, the former did not see fit to come on board him, altho' the boat's board-

ing-crew were prepared for the purpose. Captain Kelfa was so near them as to discover them to be Moors, or Algerines, by their turbans and beards.
PHILADELPHIA, April 17.
The account of the assassination of the king of Sweden, as published by authority at Stockholm, contains the following particulars in brief: That it appears from the confessions of the criminals themselves, that Ankerstrom and Count Horn had agreed, that the removal of the king was the only thing that could effect their wishes in a change of the government—that Ankerstrom lays he was also actuated by a spirit of revenge on account of a prosecution carried on against him last year, which induced him to be the instrument of removing the king—that several plans of carrying the design into execution had been contemplated, but had failed—that Count Ribbing entered into the conspiracy; shortly after which, it was resolved by these three persons, that the king should be assassinated by Ankerstrom, either with a dagger or pistols, at a play or masquerade, where a great concourse of people would be collected, that the assassin might be easily concealed—that these three conspirators were at the play on the 16th of January last—that Horn placed Ankerstrom in a covered passage, which the king used to pass through, where he was to have been shot; but the king did not that evening go into this passage, by which means Ankerstrom's murderous intentions were frustrated—two days after this he was at another play, but could not get a favorable opportunity—a masquerade between the 19th and 20th of January, was then fixed on, but the company being small, prevented the execution of their design—they then set out for Gelle, where the murder was to have been perpetrated at a masquerade on the 2d of March, but was again prevented in consequence of the small number of persons present.—A masquerade was advertised for the 16th March; this was fixed on as the time; previous to which, it appears, that maj. Liljehorn and gen. Pechelin had been let into the secret—the latter of whom was to provide for the revolution which was to take place after the assassination.
The whole plan was further matured at Count Ribbing's country seat—who was to get a number of people to the masquerade, in which business Pechelin promised to assist. Horn, Ankerstrom and Ribbing met at the lodgings of the latter on Friday evening, where Ankerstrom loaded his pistols with balls, shot and nails; besides which he took a large knife ground sharp on both sides, and to which a barb was made; after which they all three went to the masquerade—when the king, presently after, came into the room, Ankerstrom in the crowd approached him, took the pistol from his side pocket and shot the king, who stood with his back towards him, so near that the mouth of the pistol touched his cloaths. Ankerstrom who, when the king did not fall, was about to complete the murder with the knife, was so agitated, that he dropped it on the floor, and let the pistols also gently fall at the same time; as he drew himself back among the people, to create a general confusion, he cried out, Fire! which was repeated by many others.
It appeared that Baron Bjerke was deeply concerned; that lieutenant Ehrenward was also of the party—that the counsellor of Chancery, Jacob Von Engerstrom was acquainted with the design, besides whom maj. Hertsmansdorf, of the artillery, the secretary of Protocol, John Von En-
gerstrom, are accused, and have made partial confessions.
General Pechelin denies the charge against him, but Baron Bjelke poisoned himself, and the court of justice ordered that his body should be taken by the common hangman to the gallows, and buried there, which was done.
The counsel for the prosecution has given in his final pleading against Ankerstrom, and the royal court of justice is proceeding in the business, with respect to the others.
July 11.
The accounts of the affairs of France this day published, are received through the medium of British papers—the public anxiety is greatly excited—but a little reflection will relieve the mind from an anticipation of very disagreeable consequences to the cause of freedom, when it is considered that the French story is not told by themselves.
During the late war in America; it was extremely difficult to ascertain facts which were said to have happened within a very short distance of the place where accounts were published—in the present case, when the rumour of rumours, and the echoes of echoes, are wafted across an ocean of a thousand leagues, and the trumpet of news is blown by those who live by fabricating reports, let us be "slow to believe."
Capt Joseph Brandt, the celebrated Indian chief from Canada, departed a few days since from this city on a journey to the westward.—It is said his object is to endeavour to conciliate the minds of the hostile Indians, and lay the foundation for a permanent peace between those tribes and the United States.
July 14. "War being now certain, the patriotic spirit in France is more and more consolidated, and the nation will act with determined vigor. Equally ardent are the leaders of the emigrants, who being ultimately decided not to submit to the yoke of the national assembly, will risk every thing to glut their vengeance. It now remains to be experienced whether the war into which they have had the address to engage several powers, will tend in any degree to the advantage of those powers. The cause of humanity has certainly much to reproach them with, and both the present age and posterity will severely reanimate upon them for advancing what they have the insolence to call, the cause of kings."
A reflection of this kind ought surely to have some influence upon the court of Vienna, and would have had its weight were Leopold alive; but the disposition of the new king is utterly hostile to every step which seems to derogate from the honor of sovereigns, and the dignity of exalted rank."
The British have now a twenty gun ship on Lake-Champlain; and another of a similar denomination, to be launched in a few months.
NEWARK, July 12.
The time is fast approaching, when, as Corporal Trim observes, it will occasion no sort of difference what sort of coat a man wears, provided he does his duty in it—or what his religious sentiments may be (for which he is accountable to God alone) so that his actions are amenable to the laws; and when to be a good citizen, will form the only distinction in the state.
SALEM, July 3.
Captain Thomas Putnam, of the brig William & Henry, arrived yesterday from Copenhagen, which he left the 8th of May.
Ankerstrom, the Swedish regicide,
he informs, has been executed pursuant to his sentence. He was publicly whipped three different times, in the market place—ignominiously exposed to view in the pillory—his right hand cut off—and finally he was beheaded, quartered, and exposed at the common place of execution. To the last he gloried in the deed, by which he said, he had rid his country of a tyrant

Fort-Washington, August 29th, 1792.
Deserted from this post on the thirtieth of July, William Denman a private soldier, but a few days enlisted, in the late captain Platt's company in the second regiment, about five feet five inches high, fair complexion, long dark brown hair, by birth a J. Lyman, but lately a resident in the state of Kentucky near the town of Bourbon and has been lately in the contractors employ, as a packhorse driver, when in conversation his countenance is expressive of great simplicity, his manners awkward and forbidden; as he left behind him some part of his regimental clothing, it is probable he has obtained such as will more effectually disguise him, his acquaintance with the settlements of Kentucky may induce him to make for some one of them.
Likewise, deserted from this post on the first of August, Patrick Dalton belonging to the late captain Platt's company in the second regiment, an Irishman by birth, about five feet 5 and a half inches high, fair complexion, a gallows countenance, and squints prodigiously, short brown curly hair, it is likewise supposed he has divested himself of his regimental clothing, and made for some of the settlements of Kentucky; a reward of twenty dollars with all reasonable charges will be given to any person, who may apprehend and deliver the above deserters, or ten dollars for either of them, to any military or civil officer in the United States, or so secures them or either of them, as that they or he may be returned to their or his company, at this garrison.
