Memorial to the King of Prussia.
(Continued from our laſt.)
The King of Prussia will know one day, the crimes of Austria, of which we have proofs, and will abandon it to our vengeance. I can declare to the whole world, that the armies united against the forces which now invade us, cannot be induced to look upon the Prussians as their enemies, nor the King of Prussia as the instrument of the perfidy and vengeance of the Austrians and the emigrants. They entertain a nobler idea of that courageous nation, and of a King whom they wish to consider a just and an honest man.
The King, say they, cannot abandon his allies; are they worthy of him? Has a man, who has associates with robbers, a right to say that he cannot quit their society? He cannot, it is said, break his alliance—Upon what is it founded?—On perfidy and projects of invasion.
Such are the principles upon which the King of Prussia and the French nation ought to reason, in order to understand each other.
The Prussians love royalty, because since the Great Elector, they have had good Kings, and because he who now conducts them is doubtless worthy of their affection.
The French have abolished royalty, because, since the immortal Henry IV. they have always had weak, proud, or timid Kings, governed by mistresses, confessors, or ignorant ministers, base and abject courtiers, who have afflicted, with every kind of calamity, the most beautiful empire in the universe.
The King of Prussia has too pure a soul not to be struck with these truths. I present them to him for the interest of his own glory, and above all, for the interest of two magnanimous nations, the happiness or misery of which he can secure by one word; for it is certain that his arms will be resisted, and that no power can subdue France. I shudder when I think on the dreadful misfortune of seeing our plains strewed with dead, the bodies of two respectable nations, from a vain idea of a point of honor, for which the King himself will one day blush, when he sees his army and his treasure sacrificed to a system of perfidy and ambition, in which he has no share, and to which he is rendered the dupe.
In the same degree that the French nation become a republic, is violent and capable of making every effort against its enemies, in the same degree it is generous and affectionate towards its friends. Incapable of bending its head before armed men, it will give every succour, and even expend its blood for a generous ally; and if ever there was an epoch when the affection of a nation could be depended on, it is that when the
general will forms the invariable principles of government. It is that when treaties are no longer subjected to the insidious politics of ministers and courtiers. If the King of Prussia will consent to treat with the French nation, it will become a generous, powerful, and unchangeable ally; but if the illusion of a point of honour prevails over his virtues, his humanity, and his real interests, he will then find enemies worthy of him, who will combat him with regret but to the utmost; and who will be continually succeeded by avengers, whose number daily increases, and whom no human efforts will prevent from living or dying free.
Is it possible that the King of Prussia, contrary to the rules of true policy, immutable justice and humanity should consent to be the instrument of the will of the perfidious court of Vienna; should sacrifice his brave army and his treasures to the ambition of that court, which in war it has been directed to undertake, has the fine to expose its allies, and to furnish only a small contingency, while it alone, were it brave and generous, ought to support the whole burthen.
The King of Prussia at present can act the noblest part that any king ever acted. His operations alone have been attended with success; he took two towns; but this success was owing to treachery and cowardice. Since that he has found free and brave men, from whom he can not withhold his esteem. He will still find a greater number, for the army which stops his march increases every day; it is an excellent discipline, and animated by the same spirit. It has been reared from traitors and cowards, who might have excited an idea that France could be easily conquered, and instead of defending, it will soon attack, unless a reasonable negotiation make a distinction between the King and his army, whom we esteem, and the Austrians and the emigrants, whom we despise. It is time that an open and sincere explanation should terminate our discussions, or confirm them, and enable us to know our real enemies. We will combat them with courage; we are upon our own soil; we have to avenge the excesses committed in our fields; and it may be readily believed that a war against Republicans, proud of their liberty, must be a bloody war; which can never end but with the entire destruction of the oppressors or the oppressed.
This dreadful reflection ought to agitate the heart of a just and humane King. He ought to consider that instead of protecting by his arms Louis XIV. and his family, the more he continues our enemy, the more he will aggravate their calamities.
I hope, for my part, that the
King, whose virtues I respect, and who has shown me marks of esteem which do me honour, will be pleased to read with attention this note, dictated by the love of humanity and of my country. He will pardon the hurry and incorrectness of the style of these truths from an old soldier, occupied still more essentially with military operations which must decide the fate of the war.
(Signed) DUMOURIER, Commander of the Army of the North.
By the British packet Carteret , arrived at New York, in 42 days from Falmouth, we have the following important intelligence.
MILAN, October 1.
The Austrian troops, which to the number of 10,000, were encamped near Pavia, have at length, on the pressing solicitations of his Sardinian Majesty, begun to march to his assistance in Piedmont, as the French army, under the command of General Montesquiou, has taken possession of the Duchy of Savoy, and the county of Nice. This unexpected intelligence has occasioned great commotion here. Orders are given for a general recruiting, which is carried on with the utmost vigor. Large quantities of artillery are sent to the frontier places, and engineers have been sent to inspect and augment their fortifications.
VIENNA, October 22.
The Emperor has issued, under date of the 14th, an official note, exhorting all the Princes of Italy to make it a common cause with the King of Sardinia, by joining him against the French, who threaten to take all Italy.
LONDON, November 6.
The Duke of Brunswick, it is said resigns the command of the combined armies, to which M. Molendorff will succeed.
Nov. 8. His Prussian Majesty goes to Berlin by way of Spa, leaving his army on the frontiers of France. He has declared, that he will return with additional force, and open the campaign early next spring, taking better precautions as to provisions. In the mean while, a part of his army is to protect the Electorate of Treves and that part of Germany, and to take up their winter quarters in the Pays de Treves, whilst what remains of the army of the French Princes is to winter in the Pays de Liege.
Nov. 10. Letters received yesterday from Brussels, positively assert, that the combined powers will renew the campaign against France next year.
Nov. 20. M. Servan, it is now certain, will have the command of the French army destined to act against Spain, in the ensuing spring. His resignation of the war ministry
arose solely from the desire to be rather active himself, than responsible in any degree for the actions of others.
A battalion has set out from Dunkirk, to take possession of Ostend, agreeable to the invitation of the Magistrates, who have delivered the place into the hands of the French.
It was reported, in Paris, on Thursday morning, that General Valence had entered the county of Namur on Saturday, his troops shouting "Vive la Republique Francaise!"
We are informed, that General Dumourier has entered Brussels at the head of a numerous army.
Hieie-Cassel was, yesterday, reported to be in the power of the French.
The news of the taking of Brussels, arrived yesterday by three different channels; the first, from a Banker of Paris, who writes to his correspondent, that as he was going to seal up his letter, a private letter had been received, mentioning that Dumourier had taken possession of Brussels—the second, by a gentleman who declared upon Change, that he had advice from his relations, at Dunkirk, saying, that three days before the 16th inst. the French had entered Brussels—the third, another gentleman, arrived this morning from Brussels, asserts that on Friday last he had the pleasure to breakfast with General Dumourier at Brussels.
Extract of a letter from Lisle, November 12.
"The gallant conduct of the French, at the taking of Mons, decided the fate of all the adjacent country, and determined the Austrian army at Tourney to evacuate that place.
"On Thursday morning, before day-break, without waiting for Labourdonnaye's army which was advancing to besiege it, the magistrates immediately came forward to meet the French, with advice of the event, and to offer the homage of their citizens to the General.
"The townsmen received the French army with all the demonstrations of gladness and welcome; and ever since, the road has been thronged with multitudes of Bourgeois, who exchange visits with their friends from whom they have so long been shut out. The implements of siege which were carried there, have been brought back since Saturday last; there being artillery enough in the country for any attempts that may be necessary during the march."
The King of Prussia, it is said, has undertaken to furnish every French emigrant to the number of 2000, with rations of bread daily, at fifteen livres per month. This subsistence will cost his Majesty no advance of money, as it is to be furnished by the Bishop of Liege, who

is by this means to discharge the arrears due to the King of Prussia, for the succours sent to his assistance at the time the Revolutionists wanted to snatch his country from him, about two years since.
The King of Sardinia, on the news of the invasion of Savoy, shed tears, and shut himself up for several days, refusing to see even his ministers; during which time a label was pasted on the palace gate, on which was written, "In 1792, a Kingdom without a King; but in 1793, a King without a Kingdom."
The armies of France, in Flanders, under Dumourier, Labourdonnaye, Duval and Valence, amounted to 140,000 men, which were every day augmented by new battalions joining them.
The French Ex Princes were in imminent danger of being surprised and cut off, on leaving the Castle of Sye, near Stanay; they were indebted for their safety to the gallantry of the Irish brigade, who acted on the occasion with great bravery, and were led to the charge by the Duke de Fitz James, and M. W. Walsh Serent.
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 14.
This morning, about two o'clock, an express arrived from the admiralty to Sir Andrew Snape Hammond, Bart. when the Marine Corps were immediately beat to arms! So great was the expedition used, that at 12 o'clock, Lieut Colonel Spry, with three Lieutenants, four Serjeants, four Corporals, three Drummers, and 100 Privates, with their baggage, were embarked on board the Niger Frigate, though it blew a hurricane.
The cause of this sudden order, which extends likewise to the Chatham and Plymouth division, is at present a profound secret, known only to the commanders.
5 o'clock, P M.
As the Niger is not yet under way, it is probable her destination is to the westward, as the wind is fair for a contrary direction, and directly in her teeth down the channel.
PHILADELPHIA, January 15. Extract of a letter from New-York.
"The Packet brings an account of a probable revolution in Ireland; 30,000 men are already raised for the purpose."
In Belfast, they planted the Tree of Liberty with the following inscription: The United Dissenters of Ireland;---No King, and Liberty!
Letters are said to be actually received in New-York, from London, mentioning that Mr. Pitt had sent in notice to the King, of his wish to resign. This, if true, forebodes some extraordinary convulsion in the British government. Scotland and Ireland seem determined for a reform.
WINCHESTER, Jan. 29.
The Queen of England, it is said, has been for some time past transmitting immense sums into Germany, for fear of the day of evil things in Great Britain.
NATIONAL CONVENTION OF FRANCE. November 22.
Extraordinary sitting---Thursday night.
Letter from General Dumourier. "Brussels, November 14."
"Citizen President,
"I yesterday presented myself before Brussels with my advanced guard. The Austrians disputed with me the heights of Anderlecht. I was unwilling to expose my bare comrades to shed blood in vain; night came on; I kept my troops under arms; and in the morning I was received at Brussels as the
deliverer of the Nation! The citizen minister at war will lay before you the concise details which I have sent to him. The army of the republic is more animated than ever: It may receive for motto, Vires acquirit eundo.
(Signed)
" DUMOURIER, General in Chief of the army in the Austrian Netherlands."

Y A Touch of the Times. COME listen and laugh at the times, Since folly was never so ripe; For every man laughs at those rhymes That gives his own follies a wipe. We live in a kind of disguise; We flatter, we lie and protest: While each of us artfully tries On others to fasten the jest.
The Virgin, when first she is woo'd, Returns every sigh with disdain; And while by her lover pursu'd, Can laugh at his folly and pain: But when from her innocence won, And doom'd for her virtue to mourn, When she finds herself lost and undone, He laughs (tho' unjust) in his turn.
The fools who at law do contend, Can laugh at each other's distress, And while the dire suit does depend, Ne'er think how their substance grows less; Till hamper'd by tedious expence, Altho' to compound they are loth, They'll find when restor'd to their sense; The lawyers set laughing at both.
But while we perceive it the fashion For each fool to laugh at the other, Let us strive with a generous compas- sion, To correct, not condemn one another. We all have some follies to hide, Which, known, would dishonor the best; And life, when 'tis thoroughly try'd, Like Friendship, will seem but a jest.
THE Trustees of the town of Lex- ington will meet at the house of Mr. M'Gowan in the said Town, on the first Monday in March next, at which time they will proceed to proportion the tax for the present year.
