Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in Baltimore, dated November 22, 1794
"It is said, and generally believed, that the ministry here and Mr. Jay have exchanged, finally, the agreement between the two countries. Various are the reports of the arrangement. The leading ones, which I give most credit to, are the following:—A restoration, in eighteen months, of the posts on the disputed territory, and a commercial intercourse between America and the British West-India Islands, at a low duty on tonnage. The question, whether neutral bottoms make free ships, it is said, is to be referred to commissioners, who are to make their report in two years; as also, any cause of misunderstanding which may have occurred since Mr. Jay's leaving America, is provided against. The parliament is further prorogued to the 30th of December, when, it is said, his majesty will take notice of this business in his speech. It is likewise said, that Mr. Jay has so far declared himself to some friends, that he is perfectly satisfied with his success and treatment, and thinks that not a man in America should be dissatisfied with it. There is a rumour, that this country has ceded Canada wholly to America, and has guaranteed peace for her with the Algerines. This I do not believe a word of."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in Philadelphia, dated November 18, 1794.
"I am induced, Sir, by the distinguished notice you were pleased to take of my last letter, and by a hope that a summary of the events, predicted in that letter, which have been verified in a most extraordinary manner, may amuse you, again to trespass on your leisure."
"The success of the French arms during the present campaign, has been such, as will occasion the relation of it in a future age, to be regarded as a fable."
"Proceeding with mathematical calculation, they have completely swept the left bank of the Rhine, which is now the boundary, in that direction, of their mighty empire—not a soldier of the allied army remaining beyond it, except the garrisons of Mentz and Luxembourg, the former of which is invested by an immense force, all the outworks carried, and the place itself believed to be taken."
"Mentz, thought to be impregnable, surrendered on the 4th instant with a garrison of eleven thousand men, as did Crevecoeur, Bois-le-duc, Cologne, Coblenz, Juliers, Aix-la-Chapelle, and several other places some time before."
"Nimeguen is evacuated, or rather taken by storm with thirteen hundred Dutch troops: and that part of the allied army, under the Duke of York, cut off from Clair-fayt (who is forced across the Rhine) greatly weakened by a succession of defeats, is driven back upon Arnheim, an inconsiderable fortress between them and Amsterdam, which must also fall, and with it, unless fortunate enough to escape into Prussian, Guelders, or by the way of the Zuyder-sea, the Duke of York's army must, I think, surrender prisoners of war—they cannot exceed twenty thousand men, and are pressed by the combined forces of Jourdan and Pichegru, the former of whom, having driven the Austrians and Prussians over the Rhine, has extended his left to the city of Cleves, where it reaches the right of the army of the north, thereby bringing into complete co-operation upwards of one hundred and fifty thousand of the most formidable troops, in valour, discipline, and equipment,
that ever took the field—elated by the victories of six pitched battles innumerable skirmishes, and the capture of more than fifty towns and cities, among them several of the strongest fortresses in Europe, and upwards of two thousand seven hundred pieces of cannon!
"Their arms have been equally successful in Spain—accounts were received yesterday, of the total defeat of the Spanish army near Pampepeluna, the capital of Navarre which has surrendered—The Spaniards have refused to rise en masse—and such is their consternation that measures are already taken at Madrid, to ensure the safety of the royal family—The duke of Alencia has resigned his office of prime minister, which is regarded as a preliminary measure to overtures of peace from Spain—The terms of which, if granted, must, as they will, with almost every one of the allied powers, be very humiliating—Perhaps Spain may even be compelled as a condition of peace with France, to take part in her quarrel against the most obnoxious of the allies—It is already confidently said, that a cession of part of her marine will be insisted on. Holland must unquestionably become an auxiliary to France—it does not appear within the probability of events, to avert her fate, or even to defer it above a month—Her marine of course is annexed to that of France whose naval power may soon become as formidable as her land forces, whose prowess is confessedly irresistible—where the chain of conquest will end, it is impossible to foresee. Peace, at all times the most desirable state of man, was never more necessary than in the present moment. It is however very doubtful whether the pride of this country will at present stoop to the terms, which France, in the elation of victory, would certainly seek to impose—and this I think is the more to be regretted, as every day's delay must encrease the final sacrifice—Great Britain alone, cannot, in the conclusion of common sense, be expected to achieve that which the united efforts of Europe, have failed to accomplish."
"Having closed the war on the continent, her formidable rival will be enabled to give that degree of attention to her marine, which in another campaign, may not only endanger the happiness, but the safety of England.—For although seamen are not qualified for distant voyages by a short apprenticeship, yet fifty or even a hundred thousand of the French troops, might, under the influence of their present enthusiasm, be fitted for channel service, within so short a period, as the reflecting inhabitants of this nation must shudder to think of. The opinions which Englishmen are inclined to entertain of their superior seamanship, are certainly laudable in a national point of view, and may greatly contribute to that superiority—but it is a dangerous sentiment, which should carry them to a conceit, which would hazard their independence, without the possibility of putting their antagonists into equal danger."
"It is however confidently said by some that government will try the event of another campaign, of this I expected within a short time to have given you decisive information, as the parliament was to have met on Tuesday next, and to this effect the lords had been summoned to hear the king's speech read on Monday next: but it would appear that the late unfortunate news from Holland had changed the determination, as a prorogation until the 30th of December has been announced this afternoon."
"Mr. Jay's negotiations is said to be brought to a satisfactory close The particulars will, of course, be secret until officially announced—I have some reason, however, to
believe that the result will justify the prudent measures of our government."
"I beg leave to refer you for general intelligence to a packet of news papers, by this conveyance, and to request, that when you have perused them they may be sent to
INDIAN NEWS.
On the night of Tuesday, the 24th ult. a party of Indians broke into a house in Clarke county, about six miles from the Bourbon furnace, and killed three negroes—a man woman and child.
BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
ARNHEIM, December 1.
The day before yesterday, a Hanoverian officer was sent over to Nimeguen with a flag of truce, in order to convey letters to the different officers of the allied army, who are prisoners. He was treated remarkably well by the French general, who lives at the same house where our head quarters formerly were. The officer was escorted back by a party of French, and accompanied by the French adjutant-general. It is believed the French have retired into winter quarters. Several of our regiments, however, are still encamped.
A dreadful fever has broken out among the troops.
ESCAPE OF LA FAYETTE.
TROPPEAU, in Silesia Nov. 11.
The French general la Fayette, who was detained as a prisoner of state in the Austrian fortresses of Olmutz in Moravia, found means on the 8th of this month to escape with one of the companions of his misfortune. The person who aided in the recovery of his liberty is Bollman, a young doctor of physic, by birth a Hanoverian. The following is the account given of the circumstance.
The young Physician had long formed the project of liberating la Fayette. With this view, he had passed sometime at Vienna, whence he repaired to Olmutz with a travelling carriage and two very fine saddle horses. By means of the connexions he had formed at Vienna, he obtained permission to see M. de la Fayette, whose health was impaired by long imprisonment. He declared the air was absolutely necessary and proposed that la Fayette should be allowed to go in a carriage, accompanied by his friend, la Tour Maubourg, under the guard of an officer. This was granted. At the hour appointed, Bollman went on horse back to the gate of the castle; la Fayette and la Tour Maubourg, with an officer of the guard, went with Bollman into a carriage, took an airing and returned; Bollman mounted his horse at the gate of the castle and went away. These airings were several times repeated until the prisoners and Physician had gained the entire confidence of the officer, who consented one fine afternoon, to their taking an airing on foot. Bollman sent away the carriage, and ordered his servant to follow him with two saddle horses. Having got to a little distance, he and his servant seized and bound the officer. La Fayette and la Tour Maubourg mounted the two horses, and received a purse of money, with which Bollman was provided. He told them of a place where they would find a post-chaise. He and his servant took another road where he also had a carriage in waiting.
As soon as the escape was known requisitorial letters were dispatched to stop the fugitives. We hear however, that la Fayette and la Tour Maubourg have got to a place of safety; but dr. Bollman was taken on the confines of Silesia
and conducted to one of the fortresses there.
BOSTON, Feb. 12.
AUTHENTIC and ORIGINAL.
From Amsterdam, Dec. 16.
"The insurrection in Poland is completely subdued: on the 4th Nov. the suburb of Prague was taken by storm: nearly twenty thousand inhabitants of every age and condition, and of either sex, were involved in one undistinguished slaughter, by the command of the Russian gen. Suwarow, the same man under whose orders a similar butchery was executed at Minsk. The Poles are disarmed. Warsaw is in full possession of the Russian army, and the remainder of the republic will perhaps before long be professedly held as a Russian conquest.—The 4th of November is an inauspicious day in the annals of justice."
"The French armies continue to be generally victorious. They have lately obtained a new signal advantage in Spain, though with the loss of their general Dugommier. The armies in that quarter have not yet succeeded in crossing the Waal or the Rhine, nor in taking Mentz, but there is little doubt that they will. According to all present appearances this country will within six months be in alliance with France or a conquest of her arms. Of a general peace there does not appear to be the smallest prospect."
"In Paris, the moderate party upon the whole, still prevails. The Jacobins are abolished, but may possibly revive. All the cruelties of the system of terror are attributed to Robespierre, whose memory is certainly loaded with more than his share of them. A partial peace has been avowed by Talien to be the object of their present government. Their great inveteracy is against the British, with whom they appear determined to continue the war. A separate peace may perhaps be made with Spain and Portugal. With the Emperor it will not be so easy. With Prussia it has become less probable since the total defeat of the Poles. With this country it is first to be expected."
"Britain wishes for peace, but knows not how to obtain it. Another campaign will run down the ministry of this day, and a new set of men will be had to close the war by the sacrifice of all their acquisitions in the course of it. The pride of that nation must once more be mortified if not humbled."
PHILADELPHIA, February 28.
Extract of a letter from German creek, January 29.
"We had a treaty with the Cherokees the 18th of December, and the 8th inst. they fell upon a party of men from our settlement, and killed one and wounded two without any loss on their side; this is the way that faithless bloody tribe, keep their treaties with us, we have some expectation that the Choclawas, Chickasaws and Upper Cherokees, will go to war against the Creeks, as a party of the Chickasaws has already been out to war against them and has brought in five Creek scalps which I am in hopes will be some ease to our frontiers. If Congress will only give us the liberty of raising one hundred men for six months, to join the tribes that intend going to war against the Creeks, I make not the least doubt but we can oblige them to make a permanent treaty with the United States, for one half the expence that the treaty of New-York cost. If Congress should not think it worth while to fall upon some other method for the protection of our frontiers than has been heretofore, I think that the inhabitants of this country will fall upon some plan for their own safety."
"The party of men above mentioned, that the Savages fell upon,

were out hunting meat for the support of their families."
NEW-YORK, February 25.
The favorite play and farce now performed at Copenhagen, is a French translation of 'All in the wrong,' with 'The devil to pay.' The popular piece at Amsterdam is, 'Tis well its no worse.' The school for arrogance, and 'The road to ruin,' was getting up in America; but by order of Congress, 'Look before you leap,' & 'How to grow rich,' have been substituted in their places. 'The contrivances,' has been got up in Sweden, with the farce of 'Crofs purposes,' and at Peterburgh the standing favorite is, 'Achilles in petticoats,' with the entertainment of the 'Ephesian matron.' The performances in Genoa are, 'False delicacy,' and 'The hypocrite,' and at Geneva, they have been playing 'The fool,' and 'The metamorphoses.' In Flanders 'The combat,' has a continual run, and in Great Britain, the favorite is, 'All is well that ends well.'
The French stage exhibits now a magnificent ballad; at the critical point of which, the heavens open, and the gods descend. Their beatitude shines but in three colors and the thundering Jupiter wears most Democratically the National Cockade.
NORFOLK, February 4.
Late and important intelligence from Amsterdam direct.
On Sunday arrived here the ship Lovina of Baltimore, Capt. J. Parker, from Amsterdam, which place she left the 11th of November. This vessel brought no papers; but from the information of a very intelligent gentleman who came passenger, we are enabled to lay before our readers the following interesting information:
That the French army under the command of General Pichegru, who had returned to the army from Paris, where he had been for the re-establishment of his health, had taken Maestricht on the third of November, and made the whole garrison consisting of 7000 Austrian and 5000 Dutch troops prisoners of war.
That after the capture of Maestricht, general Pichegru pushed on with his victorious army towards Amsterdam. On the 7th they crossed the Waal, a branch of the Rhine, without opposition; and on the 10th a deputation was sent by the prince of Orange to propose a suspension of hostilities for a few days, that a negotiation might be opened. Gen. Pichegru returned for answer 'That he should suspend hostilities, but should continue the march of the French army.' On the 15th the French army had only one canal to cross between them and Amsterdam, and were but seven Dutch miles from thence.
The English army under the duke of York, fell back as the French advanced to Amsterdam, where he was refused admission, in consequence of which he retired to Vach, a Dutch village about seven leagues from that city—his force consisted of about 23000 men.
The Dutch army, under command of prince Frederick, second son to the Prince of Orange, retired towards Rotterdam, and held his head quarters at Dordrecht, 3 leagues from that city, his force consisted of about 15,000 men.
The Austrian army under command of general Clairfayt, in conjunction with generals Beaulieu and Mack, were cantoned on the right banks of the Rhine—their force consists of between 40 and 50,000 men.
After the surrender of Maestricht, the Emperor of Germany dispatched two ministers to the National Convention, to bring about terms of accommodation with France.
The Prussian troops were entire-
ly withdrawn since their peace with the French, which was actually signed on the 11th October, at Neufchatel.
On the 12th November intelligence was received at Amsterdam, that the king of Spain had signed a treaty of peace with France, on the 18th October, at Fontarabia; and that all hostilities ceased accordingly on the borders of Spain.
Great confusion prevailed in Amsterdam in consequence of a difference in opinion respecting the defence of Holland. The government being for an active defence both by inundation and military force, and the patriots for the admission of the French into that city; it was openly declared that they would like the French government as well as their present one; and Van Staphorst and a number of the chief patriots were arrested on the 12th of November, by a body of the military, and confined in the Stadt house.
The stores of the Duke of York's army, which were ordered round to Amsterdam, were sent back again, in consequence of which the army was thrown into the greatest disorder and confusion.
WINCHESTER, Feb. 6.
A gentleman from Knoxville, on his way to Philadelphia, arrived here on Saturday last, and obligingly furnished us with the Knoxville gazette of the 23d ult. from which the following articles are extracted.
Knoxville Jan. 23,
An express arrived here on Monday night last from Nashville, with dispatches from general Robinson to governor Blount; by whom we are informed, that William Colbert, a distinguished chief of the Chickasaws, who has a commission from the President of the United States, giving him the rank of major, with upwards of twenty warriors, arrived at Nashville, with five Creek scalps, on the 4th inst. taken on Duck river on the morning of the 2d. The party of Creeks consisted of only five, who were killed.—They had with them a war club, halter, bridles, spurs, evidences of a determination for war and horse stealing. The leader of this party of Creeks, and his brother, were known to major Colbert and others of his party to have been for years engaged in murdering and stealing upon the frontiers of Mero district. Colbert bears the rank of general in his own nation, and is as bold and impetuous a sans Culotte as ever France can propose.
The express also informs, that on the 5th inst. Elijah Walker, one of the mounted infantry on duty for the defence of Mero district, acting as a spy on the frontiers, was killed by Indians, 12 miles to the southward of Nashville.
On the 5th inst. John Tye, jun. was killed, John Tye, sen. John Burlingston, Sherard Mays, and Thomas Mays, wounded by Indians, on the frontiers of Hawkins county.
It was omitted in our last to report the killing of a Creek Indian by a party of Cherokees—the particulars respecting which are, that one of the warriors who accompanied Doublehead last summer, to Philadelphia, to visit the President called Chuccunuttatia, or the Stallion, with nine others, about the 20th ult. fell in with a party of Creeks, approaching the frontiers of Georgia, with hostile intentions (as Chuccunuttatia and his party supposed) and killed one of them; and on the first inst. appeared with his scalp at Tellico blockhouse, where the felap dance was that night held by several principal chiefs and warriors of the Cherokees, in presence of many of the frontier and other citizens of the United States.
The duke of Brunswick has peremptorily refused to accept the command of the army in defence of Holland.
