NEW-YORK, Nov. 13.
A Brig from Bristol, which is now on shore at the Hook, brought the following European Advices.
LONDON, September 13.
His Royal Highness Prince Adolphus, arrived at Deal yesterday. The particulars of the late action are not yet made public, but certainly they soon will, for his Royal Highness it is probable, has brought them with him. His own Hanoverian regiment went into action 1,000 strong, and according to information which we have received, and which we fear will prove too true, came out with 63 and one Ensign.
Gazette Extraordinary, Sept. 14
By advices from Vice-Admiral Lord Hood, commander in chief of the King's ships, and vessels employed in the Mediterranean, received this evening, dated on board the Victory, off the Islands of Hieres, the 25th August, it appears that an intercourse had taken place between his Lordship and commissioners from Toulon and Marseilles: That Lord Hood had published a preliminary declaration and proclamation, and received a paper in answer, of which copies are subjoined. And by subsequent accounts from Capt. Nelson, commander of his Majesty's ship Agamemnon, dated Aug. 31, off Oneglia, to Mr. Trevor, his Majesty's Minister at the court of Turin, it appears that a treaty relative to Toulon, was brought to a conclusion; and that on the 28th, Lord Hood's fleet landed 1,500 men, and took possession of the batteries at the mouth of the harbor. The French fleet hauled into the inner road, and on the 29th, the British fleet, and the fleet of Spain, which joined on the same day, anchored in the outer road of Toulon. It is added that Marseilles has been taken by the Republican troops, under General Cartaux.
Preliminary Declaration.
If a candid and explicit declaration in favor of monarchy is made at Toulon and Marseilles, and the standard of Royalty hoisted, the ships in the harbor dismantled, and the ports and forts provisionally at my disposition, so as to allow of the egress and regurgitation with safety, the people of Provence shall have all the assistance and support his Britannic Majesty's fleet under my command can give; and not an atom of private property of any individual shall be touched but protected; having no other view than of restoring peace to a great nation upon just, liberal and honorable terms—this must be the ground work of the treaty.
And whenever peace takes place, which I hope will soon be, the port, with all the ships in the harbor, and fort of Toulon, shall be restored to France, with the stores of every kind, agreeable to the schedule that may be delivered.
Given on board his Britannic Majesty's ship Victory, off Toulon, this 23d August, 1793. (Signed) HOOD.
PROCLAMATION.
By the Right Hon. Samuel Lord Hood, Vice-Admiral of the Red, and Commander in chief of his Britannic Majesty's Squadron in the Mediterranean, &c.
To the Inhabitants in the Towns and Provinces, in the South of France.
During four years you have been involved in a revolution, which has plunged you in anarchy, and rendered you a prey to factious leaders.—After having destroyed your government, trampled under foot the laws, assassinated the virtuous, and authorised the commission of crimes, they have endeavored to propagate through Europe, their system, destructive of every social order. They have constantly held forth to you the idea of Liberty, while they have been robbing you of it. Every where they have preached respect to persons and property, and every where, in their name, it has been violated; they have amused you with the sovereignty of the people, which they have constantly usurped; they have declaimed against the abuses of royalty, in order to establish their tyranny upon the fragments of a throne still reeking with the blood of your legitimate sovereign. Frenchmen you groan under the pressure of want, and the privation of specie; your commerce and your industry are annihilated, your agriculture is checked, and the want of provisions threatens you with a horrible famine. Behold, then, the faithful picture of your wretched condition; a situation so dreadful, sensibly afflicts the Coales-
ced powers, they see no other remedy but the re-establishment of French monarchy. It is for this, and the acts of aggression committed by the executive power of France, that we have armed in conjunction with the other Coalesced powers. After mature reflection upon these leading objects, I come to offer you the force with which I am entrusted by my sovereign, in order to spare the further effusion of human blood, to crush with promptitude the factious, to re-establish a regular government in France, and thereby maintain peace and tranquillity in Europe. Decide therefore definitively, and with precision. Trust your hopes to the generosity of a free and loyal nation. In its name I have just given an unequivocal testimony to the well disposed inhabitants of Marseilles, by granting to the commissioners sent on board the fleet, under my command, a passport for procuring a quantity of grain, of which this great town now stands so much in need.—Be explicit; and I fly to your succour, in order to break the chain which surrounds you, and to be the instrument of making many years of happiness succeed to four years of misery and anarchy, in which your deluded country has been involved.
Given on board his Britannic Majesty's ship Victory, off Toulon, the 23d Aug. 1793. (Signed) HOOD.
By command of the Admiral, (Signed) JOHN M'ARTHUR.
Declaration made to Admiral Lord Hood.
The general committee of the sections of Toulon, having read the proclamation of Admiral Lord Hood, commander in chief of his Britannic Majesty's squadron, together with his preliminary declaration; and after having communicated these two papers to all the citizens of the town of Toulon, united in Sections, Considering that France is torn by anarchy and that it is impossible to exist longer a prey to the factious with which the country is agitated, without its total destruction:
Considering that the Southern Departments, after having made long efforts to resist the oppression of a party of factious men, who have conspired to ruin them, find themselves drained and deprived of resources to annihilate this coalition of the evil disposed:
Considering in short, that, determined not to submit to the tyranny of a Convention that has sworn to ruin the nation, the people of Toulon and those of Marseilles, would rather have recourse to the generosity of a loyal people, who have maintained the desire of protecting the true Frenchmen against the anarchists who wish to ruin them.
Declaration of Admiral Hood.
I. That the unanimous wish of the inhabitants of Toulon is to reject a constitution which does not promote their happiness, to adopt a monarchical government, such as it was originally by the constituent assembly, of 1789; and, in consequence, they have proclaimed Louis XVII. son of Louis XVI. King, and have sworn to acknowledge him, and no longer suffer the despotism of the tyrants, which at this time govern France.
II. That the white flag shall be hoisted the instant the English squadron anchors in the road of Toulon, and it will there meet the most friendly reception.
III. That the ships of war now in the road, will be disarmed, according to Admiral Hood's wishes.
IV. That the citadel and the forts of the coast, shall be provisionally at the disposal of the said Admiral; but for the better establishing the union which ought to exist between the two people, it is requested that the garrison should be composed of an equal number of French and English, and that, nevertheless the command shall devolve to the English.
V. The people of Toulon trust the English nation will furnish, speedily, a force sufficient to assist in repelling the attacks with which they are this moment threatened by the army of Italy, which marches towards Toulon, and by that of Gen. Cartaux, who directs his forces against Marseilles.
VI. That the people of Toulon, full of confidence in the generous offers of Admiral Hood, trust, that all those who hold civil and military employments, shall be continued in their place, and shall not be annoyed in their respective occupations.
VII. That the subsistence and succours of every kind, of which Toulon stands so much in need, will be assured to the inhabitants by the combined fleet of the powers coalesced.
VIII. That when peace shall have been re-established in France, the ships and forts which will be put in the hands of the English, shall be restored to the French nation, in the same state they were in when the inventory was delivered.
It is according to this declaration, if approved by Admiral Hood, that the Toulonese will regard themselves with good heart and will, as belonging to the English, and the other powers coalesced, and by whose succours will be
brought about that peace, after which they have panted so long.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE, OF SATURDAY NIGHT, SEPT. 14.
Extract of a letter from the Earl of Elgin, to the Right Hon. Lord Grenville, dated Bermerain, Sept. 10.
"MY LORD, "I have the satisfaction of informing your Lordship, that this morning La Quefnoy,* surrendered to the troops of his imperial Majesty. At midnight the town ceased firing, and an officer came out with the terms on which the garrison proposed to capitulate. These terms were rejected, in so far that they deviated from the point, which General Clairfayt had resolved to insist upon, namely, that the garrison should be prisoners of war.—This condition though combated, did not appear unexpected; and the officer on quitting General Clairfayt, gave assurances that the stipulations he had consented to, would be accepted. At the moment of dispatching my messenger, the capitulation is not actually signed: But as Prince Cobourg, Gen. Clairfayt, and Count Mercy have severally confided to me the surrender, and authorize me to communicate it to your Lordship, I hope my doing so will not appear hasty.
"The garrison is to march out on the 13th instant."
* A little town of the French Netherlands, in the province of Hainault—7 miles S. E. of Valenciennes.
Extract of a letter from Plymouth, Sept. 11.
"Late last night, arrived here the Falcon sloop of war, Capt. Bisset, from Torbay, with orders from Earl Howe, for all ships belonging to the fleet under his command, to put to sea immediately, and join him in Torbay; the greatest dispatch; the greatest dispatch has been using ever since to equip the ships for sea, the most of which are quite ready, and three of the line of battle ships are now turning out of the Sound; 4 others have made the signal for sailing, and will go in the course of this evening, the remainder tomorrow morning; the fleet will be reinforced from this port, by the Gibraltar, of 80 guns Capt. Mackenzie; and the Marlborough, of 74 guns, Capt. Berkley: The former came from Hamoaze this morning, her complement of men having been made up from the Druid frigate, the crew of the Fortune sloop of war, and men from the tenders, lately arrived from the Westward.
"It is currently reported, that the French fleet are at sea, and near the channel, consisting of 27 sail of the line, and that Lord Howe's sailing so soon is in consequence."

COMMUNICATION FROM THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, in Boston.
Messrs Adams & Larkin, Please to insert the following extract in your Paper.
By order of the Trustees, OLIVER SMITH, Cor. Sec'y.
EXTRACT From ARTHUR YOUNG'S Annals.
Vol. VI. page 466. The account of his visit to the celebrated Mr. Bakewell.
THE leading idea that has governed Mr. BAKEWELL, in all his exertion, is to procure that breed of cattle which in a given quantity of food will give the most profitable meat—that in which the proportion of the useful meat to the quantity of offal is the greatest; also, in which the proportion of the best to the inferior joints is the greatest.
Therefore a great head, dewlap, or horns, or an over thick hide, are rather offal than meat.
On this plan, the points to attend to in a beast, are those where the valuable joints lie; the rump, the hip, the back, the ribs, and after these the flanks, that is to say the backward upper quarters, but the belly, shoulders, neck, legs and head should be light, for if a beast has a disposition to fatten or be heavy in these, it will be found a deduction from the more valuable points. It has been said, but improperly, that a barrel on four short sticks would represent the true form, but that shape
swells at the top and bottom, whereas the back of a beast should be square, strait and flat, or, if any rising, it should be from a disposition to fatten and swell about the rump and hip bones—and the belly should likewise be quite strait, for if it swells it shews weight in a bad point. He thinks the shortness of the legs of no importance, nor are the neck, head, horns, skin, and color, which are fancied to be great signs of good or bad creatures. Thick hides are generally esteemed worse thriving beasts, than others of thin hides. Mr. BAKEWELL thinks pale colors, as white, yellow, &c. denote finer meat. If all these points were against a beast, yet if his carcase was made well, and shewed a turn to fatten, he would prefer him to an ill made beast with all those unimportant points in his favor.
He judges whether a beast has the right disposition to fatten, by feeling. He had rather depend on feeling only, than on seeing without feeling. In sheep, the hand only can tell whether the back is flat and broad, and free from a ridge in the back bone. There is a great difference in the feeling of lean bullocks: The hip bone should be covered with something under the skin that feels oily and soft, the same along the back bone and on the ribs with a good flank. In beasts that will not thrive well, there is nothing of this softness to be perceived but the hide is tight and hard. There is indeed something in such frothy looseness, unlike the mellow feel. It is hard to describe this in words, but the graziers understand and practice it perfectly. Mr. BAKEWELL pays no regard to crossing the breed, his own success shews it is of no consequence whatever.
SHEEP.
The same rules of judging are applicable both to sheep and cattle.
The points to examine a sheep and the general form of his carcase are the same as in an ox. The flatness and breadth of back, a spreading barrel carcase, with flat bellies, and by no means curved and hanging—with such a disposition to fatten as is indicated in the bulls and cows. In such the fat goes into the meat, instead of making tallow. He would have the fat not run to tallow, and all the offal as the head, pluck, hoofs and bones very small, his own breed are remarkably so. He keeps in pickle a neck of his own mutton, which is four inches and an half thick with fat on the bone.
One of his sheep was killed weighing 46 lbs. a quarter; it cut six inches of fat between the tail and the loin, along the back three inches, and at the division of the quarters through the ribs, six inches and a quarter—yet his are usually of a moderate size, it is the shape and disposition to fatten that makes them so heavy. Let the food be what it may they will eat less and fatten more than other breeds of sheep. It is by these principles that Mr. BAKEWELL has gradually formed his breed by selections.
The kind of cattle that were most esteemed before Mr. BAKEWELL's day, were the large, long bodied, big boned, coarse, gummy, flat sided kind.—This discerning breeder on the contrary introduced a small, clean boned, round, short carcase, kindly looking cattle, and inclined to be fat—and it is a fact, that these will both eat less food in proportion, and make themselves sooner fat than the others—they will in truth pay more for their meat than any other sort in a given time.
GOLD TABLES.
Tables for receiving and paying Gold coins of France, Spain, and the dominions of Spain, Great-Britain and Portugal, as they now pass, according to an act of Congress, regulating Foreign coins, and passed the 9th February 1793: For sale at J. Melcher's Printing-Office, corner of Market-street. This table is absolutely necessary for every person who receives or passes gold.

BRITISH ACCOUNT Of the BATTLES on the Rhine.
Copied from a Canterbury Paper of Sept. 24, under London head of Sept. 21.
Yesterday morning arrived a mail from Holland, which confirms the important intelligence brought on Sunday night by the messenger from the Earl of Yarmouth. That on the 18th inst. an attack was made by the French army of the Rhine, on that commanded by the Duke of Brunswick, which ended in a total defeat of the French.—At the close of the action 3000 of the latter laid down their arms and surrendered to the Prussians. The conflict is said to have been particularly severe, at an early part of it the French had the advantage, but at length the superior discipline of the Prussians prevailed; near thirty pieces of cannon are reported to be taken.
Avesne le Sec. Sept. 12—Forenoon.
From the Corps of the Army of Observation commanded by Gen. Count de Clairfait.
The French having presented themselves, to the number of 3000 men, in the environs of Landrecy, were kept in check by six squadrons of Kinski light-horse. The latter having been re-inforced by four squadrons of the Cuirassiers of Royal Allemand, rushed upon the enemy; the confusion was so great, that the French horse even rode over the bodies of their foot, and our troops had nothing to do but to cut them up by peacemeal.—Fifteen hundred of the French were killed, and 1000 at least prisoners. The enemy also lost 12 pieces of cannon, two howitzers, a great number of ammunition waggons, and many artillery horses.

FROM ALBANY.
On Sunday night the 17th instant between the hours of 10 and 11, a fire broke out in the stable of L. Ganseyoort, Esq. in Albany, and immediately communicated itself to the adjacent buildings, the wind being very high, every effort, tho' with the assistance of a considerable fall of snow and rain, could not check its destroying progress, until after the buildings from T. T. Van Vechten, Esq. in the corner of Market-street and Maiden-lain, on Market-street to the Dutch Church, except Mr. Robinson's and Major Hale's and on State-street, and on Middle-Alley from State-street to Maiden-lane, had fallen by it. The number is not very accurately stated at 26 dwelling-houses, and the total number of buildings 50.—The greater part of these were valuable, particularly those belonging to Mr. Ganseyoort, Mr. Barry, Mr. Willet, Mr. Maley, Mr. Glen, Mrs. Beekman and Mr. Douw.—The value cannot be justly estimated. A great quantity of goods were consumed with the stores—Mr. J. Caldwell is among the sufferers. Two young men were killed by the fall of the walls of the houses, and three or four more supposed to be mortally wounded.
The fire is said to have been set by a wench who was searching with a candle for a bottle of rum, which she supposed hidden among the hay.
In the above conflagration the Messrs Websters lost three Printing Presses, and a great part of their Types. The damages which the city has sustained, are computed at 100,000.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11.
Extract of a letter from Fort Washington, dated October 6, 1793.
"You will perceive by my letters on the 21st and 28th of September, that we are here longer than I expected—we are now in complete readiness, with about 300 of the mounted volunteers in our front, and in expectation of General Scott's joining at Fort Jefferson, about the 20th, with twelve hundred more; and to-morrow morning the general will beat instead of the reveille. The officers and men are in high spirits; never were troops on earth better supplied."
PETERSBURG, Nov. 5.
On Sunday night the 27th ult. a French brig from Cape-Francois, with a great number of emigrants on board, ran ashore in Lynhaven Bay, and went to Pieces. As no person was saved, it is impossible to state how many perished.—The bodies of men, women and children, to the amount of forty-eight or fifty have been found. Many of the bodies were so mangled and torn by the surf, that in many places the heads, arms and legs, were scattered on the sand. All the remains were on Thursday last collected and committed to their kindred earth.
NEW-YORK, November 16.
Yesterday came on at the Circuit Court now sitting in this City, the action of Gov. GLINTON, versus Judge COOPER for SLANDER—"The Jury, after having been out one hour and an half, brought in a verdict for the plaintiff, with ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS damages.
Saturday morning last arrived in this port, a prize to the French Citizen of Bourdeaux, of 36 guns. The first gun the frigate fired, burnt and killed 14 of her own men. The prize is a ship of 500 tons called the Canada of London, and bound to that place from the Bay of Honduras, deeply laden with Logwood.
Letters from Maryland, inform us, that the "ENGLISH ARE BEAT OFF FROM JERIME and other places in St. Domingo. The British commander's Proclamation gave great disgust to the inhabitants; it had the same effect there as the Duke of Brunswick's had in France: It united the people to defend their Liberties.—The Commissioners collected an army of Blacks and People of Colour, who have beaten the English."
We learn that a negro man, the property of Mr. Green, in the state of N. Carolina, was tried a fortnight ago for witchcraft ! before two magistrates and several freeholders, who condemned him to be hanged; and he was accordingly executed in a very short time afterwards. He was appraised at seventy pounds.
[Charleston Gazette.]
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Wilmington, Delaware, to his correspondent in Baltimore.
"The Captain of a vessel arrived from Ostend, informs us of the Death of the Prince de Cobourg—that he saw his funeral, and that fifteen thousand of his men were slain, and his army completely defeated."
Last evening arrived in this port the Ship Jay, Capt. Derry, in 7 weeks from Plymouth.—On the 12th Sept. the French fleet were off the Lizard, consisting of 26 sail of the line, 7 frigates, 3 cutters, and 4 fire-ships—On the 15th, Lord Howe, with the English fleet, consisting of 18 sail of the line, and 4 frigates, was lying at Torbay, and 4 ships of the line at Portland roads, destitute of provisions and men—Several ships in commission at Plymouth and Portsmouth, were unable to effect an expedition for the want of men—It is said that the French and English fleets have met three times, when the English have made their way into port, without risking a near approach to their enemy.
A confirmation of the late important accounts is obtained by this vessel, but we cannot learn that any important event has taken place, since the date of these accounts.
The ship Alexandria, Capt. Carpenter, from Savannah bound to New-York, struck on the shoals of Cape-Look-out, between two and three o'clock in the morning of the 20th ult. After three hours exertion in lightening the vessel, and cutting the mainmast, the ship forced her way over the shoals, but was found to have about six feet of water in her hold. The passengers, who were fortunately very numerous, aided the crew in pumping the ship; they kept her above water, and, after much labor, brought her the next day into Cape-Pear river, where she was run aground, until further assistance could be obtained. On the 23d, the ship was taken up to Wilmington, where she will remain until she is repaired. The greater part of the cargo is either lost or very much damaged; but every person on board was saved.
The following intelligence is translated from the Hamburg Gazette , of the 21st of Sept. handed to the Editor of the Federal Gazette by a Merchant of Philadelphia.
"Letters from the Hague, dated Sept. 17, 1793, inform us, that on the 13th inst. the Dutch posts at Werwyk and Hallinn were attacked by about 60,000 French troops, and, after an obstinate battle, the Dutch were defeated and driven from those places; that Prince Frederick of Orange defended the post at Werwyk, and was wounded in the arm; he arrived here by way of Fluis, in Flanders. The Dutch retreated towards Devnse and Rousselaar they had about 2000 men killed and wounded.
Gen. Beaulieu came too late, and did not defend the bridge at Werwyk as he ought to have done, having let the French pass over, by which means the column under Prince Frederick of Orange was surrounded, and all communication was cut off between him and the hereditary prince: They were obliged to fight their way through the enemy which occasioned
the great loss of the Dutch troops. Gen. Beaulieu has since taken post between Menin and Gourray, and the Dutch are re-establishing near Ghent. Gen. Freytag hearing of this defeat, retreated with the Hanoverians. Christian, Prince of Hesse Darmstadt, and General Ven Werfensleben were wounded. Lieut. Col. Van Tengnagel, of the grenadiers was killed."

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
Saturday last, being the day appointed for the training of the militia in the township of Kingwood, Hunterdon county, the company under the command of M'Pherson met accordingly at Quaker-town, and after performing the several duties required of them with great dexterity, and in good order, were dismissed. A number of them, however, among whom was Capt. M'Pherson, retired to a public house to spend the remainder of the afternoon. In the evening, the Captain and several of his men were at the door of the house, one of whom with his firelock, and being ignorant of her being loaded, had several times snapped her; at length, unfortunately, being presented towards the Captain she went off, and the charge went through his body—He instantly proclaimed himself a dying man, and prayed fervently for the mercy of God. Two physicians were readily obtained; but they applied their skill for his recovery in vain—He expired about 9 o'clock the same evening!—Thus died a man, whose upright conduct had secured to him the esteem of an extensive acquaintance—Honesty, candour, benevolence and friendship were distinguishing traits in his character. He has left a widow and seven young children to lament the untimely and melancholy departure of an indulgent and affectionate husband, and an instructive and kind parent!
RUTLAND, Nov. 4.
We hear from Windsor, that on Friday last, in consequence of some misunderstanding between Maj. Gen. Ira Allen, and Maj. Gen. Isaac Tichenor, the former sent a challenge to a duel, which was readily accepted: And on Saturday morning at six o'clock, they appeared according to agreement, on the east bank of Connecticut river, just opposite to Windsor, in order to exchange a few shots. Their rules were made, the ground was measured, they placed themselves back to back, marched off, and wheeled at the word; at this instant, a number of spectators who had just then arrived, rushed between them and seized their arms; they then returned, after having given satisfactory proof of their undaunted firmness and courage.
W O R C E S T E R, Nov. 14.
A correspondent queries, whether it is not more than probable, that Citizen Genet, Minister Plenipotentiary from the French Republic, to the United States of America, is, at heart, a real enemy to the French Revolution; and that, under pretence of warmly espousing the cause of liberty, and the rights of man, he is secretly endeavoring to involve that nation in a war with their American friends and allies? If not, to what motive are to be attributed the repeated instances of his temerity, in calling in question the constitutionality of the proceedings of the Supreme Executive.
The Physicians of the port of Philadelphia, have given to Governor Mifflin, their opinion, that that city will be clear of disease in two weeks from the date—(November 1st) and that the Legislature can meet at Philadelphia, at the time appointed by the Constitution, which approaches.
Above 14000 dollars subscriptions have been received by the municipality of Philadelphia, for the relief of the distressed; besides the liberal subscription of this town, and many places from which they have heard.

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT,
Of another Victory gained by our Allies, translated for the Chronicle , from a Dutch Paper received by Capt. WEST.
Letter from the hereditary Prince of ORANGE Commander in Chief of the Dutch army, laying in the Austrian Flanders, to their High Mightinesses the States General.
DEINSE, SEPT. 14.
"I HAVE the honor to inform your High Mightinesses, that the enemy has driven back our advanced guards, by a much superior force; and attacked those at Menin and Werwick, which obliged us to retreat, after an obstinate defence.—Much might be said of the conduct of the brave troops I am proud to command. The retreat was made to Harlebeck and
Rousselaar, where I have given orders to assemble the troops again. The loss cannot yet be ascertained, but I have the honor to assure your High Mightinesses, that among the wounded officers, is my own brother, Prince Frederick, who received a slight wound on the arm. The Prince of Hesse Darmstadt and Maj. General Count Van Warienflecken, and many other Staff-Officers, are killed. In my next I shall endeavor to give you the particulars of this action. I am, &c."
The reports published in Rotterdam, in the same paper, state the number of the Dutch to have been but 7000, and those of the French 30,000 strong; and that the Dutch had been obliged to retreat towards Ghent, in the heart of the Austrian Netherlands.
The hereditary Prince, has given no date to this action in his letter; at least there is no date published in the paper, from whence this important account is extracted.
To supply this deficiency we shall quote the extract of the French General BEREU, who addresses the National Convention, from Menin, which had been the headquarters of the Dutch troops—under the date of Sept. 13. He observes, "That new victories were achieved by the troops of the Republic, who have taken Menin, Werwick, and the different passages of the Lys, which were defended by a body of Dutch troops, well entrenched. Gen. HEDOREVILLE stormed Werwick.—The enemy abandoned 40 pieces of cannon at Menin. I trust that the National Convention will receive this interesting news with pleasure. We have made 1,200 prisoners and several Generals are captured."
There is no doubt therefore of a second battle on the 12th and 13th of Sept. in the Austrian Netherlands, perhaps as decisive as the other, at Dunkirk. Menin is 30 miles from the former place, and inland; so that they cannot be confounded together, as they have been, for one and the same action.
The probability is, that as soon as the British were routed at Dunkirk, and the Dutch 4 days after at Werwick and Menin, that the French would carry off their stores, cannon, provisions, and other trophies of their glorious victories, and immediately point the united forces of the Republic against the Prince of COBOURG, who still remained in Cambray, by the last accounts. This army is now the only one in France.
The Prussians have met a severe check on the border of the Rhine. The Duke of YORK is now defensive, and 30 or 40 miles from the frontiers of France. The rebels of Vendee almost extinguished, and the cause of Toryism, drooping and will soon expire, unless some new advantages on the side of their friends, the British, shall revive their spirits.
Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Amsterdam, to his friend in this town, dated Sept. 23, received by Capt. WEST.
"It is probable before this reaches you, you will have heard of the total defeat of the Combined Despots before Dunkirk; the consequence of which it is generally believed, will produce a peace in the course of the winter."
Saturday arrived Schooner Success, Captain WILLIAM DAVIS, 60 days, from OSTEND.—She stopt at Havre the 27th of September.
We have been favoured with the perusal of papers brought in her, from which the following is extracted.—
L O N D O N, SEPT. 17.
The fall of the gallant and polite Captain Courtney, is a national misfortune, and renders the situation of his much respected and amiable lady the object of general concern, particularly to the more immediate circles of her acquaintance, who at this unfortunate juncture seem to vie with each other to afford her every consolation in her power.
A shewman had the folly to declare in Bartholomew Fair last, that he had made more by the representation of the fall of Valenciennes, than the British would by the capture of it.
The British fleet under Lord Hood, now in the Mediterranean, consists of Two of 100 Guns, Three of 98, Twelve 74, Three of 64, Store Ship of 44, Two Frigates of 36, Seven of 32, Two of 28, Two of 24, One of 16, Two of 12, and Two Fire Ships.
SEPT. 18.
Yesterday evening dispatches were brought by Mr. Silvester, who left the British camp, near Thorout, on the 15th; and happily such information was immediately given, from these, as refuted the decisive part of the former reports now unnecessary to be mentioned.

But it appears, that the attack of the French were continual during the 14th and 15th instant; that their numbers encrease every hour, and enable them to persevere in harraffing almost every part of the Allied Army, regardless of loss or repulse: that the expected detachment of Imperial troops had not then joined his Royal Highness the Duke of York; and that the Prince of Orange had fallen back from all the covering posts, preceding the British army in their approach to Bruges and Ghent.
The Elector of Mentz pays a million of florins to the King of Prussia, towards the heavy expence of regaining his capital.
SEPT. 21.
The following Extract of a letter dated Bruges, Sept. 17, 1793, received yesterday by a Merchant in the City, may be relied on, as coming from a Gentleman who was in Menin when the French forced the Dutch Posts, and pursued them into town.
"The French advanced on the evening they had been beat between Comings and Werwick, near Allowaine, and drove in the Dutch advanced posts, and brought their batteries to bear on their works the next morning with so much success, that the French advanced in columns on the Dutch, who were drawn up behind the works of Allowaine, and forced them to retreat in the greatest confusion into the town, forgetting even to turn the bridge; the French cavalry pursuing, and cutting them to pieces, taking 32 cannon and 34 ammunition waggons, besides a quantity of their baggage.
Judge then of their terror, having no arms to defend us, and almost dead with fatigue; the roads were lined with dead bodies, arms, and horses, and the wretched inhabitants taking to flight in the fields and woods: in short, it is impossible to describe the horrors that attended the taking of the town; not a window but was broken, as they fired grape-shot in the streets after the Dutch."
All the German accounts agree in stating that the French are invulnerable in their intrenchments in the environs of Weissenburg and Landau, where their troops increase in prodigious numbers.
SEPT. 23.
The attention of politicians will now be turned from Dunkirk to Toulon. The French are marching to the last mentioned place, from every quarter in immense numbers; and if multitudes can carry it, this important post may be again, by the latter end of the year, in their possession.
There is little doubt, however, but Lord Hood, who knows the importance of the port of Toulon as well as the French, will do every thing in his power to make the recovery of it a hard piece of business to them; and all who are acquainted with the difficulty of access to it, on the land's side, are well aware that it cannot soon be reduced.
In the year 1707, when it was besieged by brave commanders, both by sea and land, as ever led on troops, at St. Ann's hill alone baffled all the endeavors of the Duke of Savoy and Prince Eugene to take it; and as on the sea-side we are in possession of all the forts erected for its defence, what at that time resisted the exertions of Sir Cloudesley Shovel, will now be employed in our favor.
The French, beside, have no shipping that will dare to attack it by sea, while the combined fleets remain in the Mediterranean.
The only apparent danger is the fickleness of the inhabitants, and the secret disaffection of many of them; who though the allies have been invited into the town, yet will gladly lay hold of every opportunity to betray them; and, if possible, to deliver it up to the Sans-Culottes, who shall march there to retake it.
But this, so wise a leader as Lord Hood, will be aware of, and of course take every necessary measure to guard against.
Menin was recaptured on the 15th instant.
We are credibly informed that the Russian fleet, which appeared on the Danish coasts, had 12,000 land troops on board, for the purpose of making a descent in Lower Brittany; but none of the Combined powers choosing to furnish the money necessary to pay this corps, the two divisions of the fleet have set sail for the Baltic, and, it is said, have taken the way to Revel.
The forces which the French have now collected on the frontiers of Alsace and Lorraine, are said to exceed 250,000 men.
A very recent arrival from Boston confirms us in the satisfactory intelligence, that the Merchants, Traders, and even Mechanics, have resolved to take every operative measure to preserve a perfect and honorable neutrality during the disturbances of Europe; and as they term
it, not to have any thing to do with high sea-robbery, commonly called Privateering. In consequence, the state of Massachusetts issued orders to recal a small Privateer that had failed; which vessel was returned when these advices came away.
Our letters further say, that there is not the smallest doubt, but the other states would follow the example of Massachusetts, although Citizen Genet did not actually grant letters of reprisal, ere he delivered his credentials to Congress.
When Lord Hood entered the harbour of Toulon, the following was the number and strength of the French Fleet anchored there:—Two of 120 guns, Four of 80, Fifteen of 74, and Four Frigates.
The commissioners for the settlement of accounts between the United States and the individual states, have reported a balance of one million two hundred and forty eight thousand, eight hundred and one dollar, due to Massachusetts. A substantial testimony of her exertions and sacrifices in the late war.
From Philadelphia, Nov. 11. BOSTON DONATION.
"Capt. Curtis this day landed his cargo; which I understand is to be sold at Auction; and as the money can now be applied most advantageously to the relief of the poor, I suppose the articles will neat more than prime cost, which will, eventually be better than if cash had been sent in the first instance."
The PRESIDENT of the United States, having summoned the heads of Department, Chief Justice, and other officers of the Government, to meet at Germantown, to advise on the most suitable place for the meeting of Congress; their decision, we hear, was in favor of Philadelphia—where the President arrived the 11th inst. to the joy of the citizens.

NOVEMBER 28. IMPORTANT EXTRACT.
Extract of a letter from the Captain of an American ship at Havre-de-Grace, to a Gentleman of respectability in this town, dated the 27th Sept. last.
"SINCE my last of the 21st inst. a Decree has passed the National Convention, which prohibits all ships, (except proper French ships) from carrying Freights from one port in France to another, or from France to her Islands or Colonies, or from the Colonies to France; neither can any ship bring into France any cargo (except it is the produce of the country) of the colours she is under—of course, the Americans here will be obliged to go away in ballast—there are upwards of 20 sail in this port."
OF THE FRENCH WEST-INDIES.
Capt. POWERS, from Port-au-Prince, in St. Domingo, informs, that in the prisons of that town, nearly 500 of the most respectable inhabitants of the island were confined, charged with incivism; and that before he failed a new guillotine had been erected—experiments in which it was expected would shortly be made.
THE BRIDGE
At West-Boston was opened for passengers, &c, on Saturday last. The elegance of the workmanship, and the magnitude of the undertaking, are perhaps unequalled in the history of enterprizes. We hope the Proprietors will not suffer pecuniary loss, from their public spirit. They have claims on the liberality and patronage of the government; and to these claims government will not be inattentive.
Capt. SMITH from Martinique informs, that the property of the emigrant planters, &c. had been sequestrated, and the plantations rented out; but that it was difficult to make the negroes work; owing to which the plantations did not produce one quarter of their former product. That perfect equality of all colours existed—the second officer of the island being a Negro, named BELGARDE; between whom and general ROCHEMBEAU, the commander in Chief, a good understanding did not subsist: And that 2000 men of colour had enlisted themselves as a corps of defence, and wore on their left breasts a medal, with the inscription "To Conquer or die."
Capt. DUNHAM, from St. Pierre, informs, that the business in that part of the island was confined wholly to American vessels, there not being a French ship in the port—That the privateers brought in many prizes, several of which were Americans, suspected of having British property on board—these had to undergo trials,—and all the British property found therein was condemned: That
it had been sickly among the crews of the American vessels, and that business, although not brisk, was better than it had been for time past.
A very active war in the West-Indies is expected early the ensuing Spring.—The government of Great-Britain stands pledged to the colonists of Martinico, Guadalupe and St. Domingo, to make every possible effort to establish therein the former government and subordination—and twenty regiments of foot, with fourteen sail of the line, under the command of Sir ALEX. HOOD were under orders to sail therefor, at the date of the last European accounts. To oppose these, the republican commanders in those islands were making active preparations; and Captain CARVER, from Cape-Francois informs, that 40,000 negroes were in arms there, determined to resist every enemy.
SHIP NEWS.
Arrived here, on Saturday, 16th inst. Schooner Friendship, Reuben Carver, master, from Cape-Francois, in 16 days.
Captain Carver left 14 sail of American vessels at the Cape, chiefly loaded with provisions.—He informs, that the place was governed entirely by the Negroes, who had between 30 and 40,000 Soldiers under arms; with between 4 and 500 constantly on guard; that they were in high spirits, fearing no enemy under Heaven.
Capt. Carver, in lat. 21, long. 72, was boarded by a privateer, from Bermuda, had his papers searched and had his letters broken.
Nov. 9 in lat. 37, 50, long. 69 spoke the Schooner Polly Benjamin Hammond, master, from Turks Island, bound to Salem, 12 days out, had lost both his top-sails.
Nov. 10, in lat. 40, long. 68, 90 spoke the brig John Francois, John Lepard, master, from Surinam, to Rhode Island, 46 days out.
Nov. 11, in lat. 40, 30, long. 68, spoke the Schooner Polly, Joshua Webb, from St. Thomas's, bound to Portland, 14 days out. He informed, that he was boarded by a privateer, and robbed of about 200 dollars in West India produce, and some wearing apparel; where she belonged he did not know; no name on her stern, she was under French colours, but manned with Englishmen.
From FRANCE—via SALEM.
[From the Salem Gazette, of Tuesday last.]
Capt. John BURCHMORE arrived here on Sunday from Dieppein, France, which place he left the 8th of October, but brings no important intelligence. It was there said (as we have heard) that the French Republicans had regained the possession of the commanding posts about Toulon, so that their fleet was subject to their guns. The people at Dieppe were fired with the spirit of liberty—not a desponding idea was entertained by any one—every man there is a soldier, and the militia is continually exercised in arms—those between the ages of 16 and 22 years were under marching orders, and eager to add force to the grand blow which the uplifted arm of the nation was about to strike. The influence of the women, (irresistable in France,) was employed to keep alive the flame of patriotism: and on every lady's cap was displayed the republican cockade. The ruin of the Duke of YORK's army, with other concurring successes, which were told with all their pleasing exaggerations, had given them fresh spirits, and already they beheld, in imagination, their Republic firmly established, and triumphant over all their enemies. This picture of the people of Dieppe, will doubtless represent the great majority of Frenchmen. Capt. BURCHMORE adds, that provisions of every kind were plenty and cheap, and the police well regulated. The French, thus inspired by beauty and patriotism, and abundantly supplied by a bounteous Providence, what human power can arrest their arm?
PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 30.
We have a report, that in Canada they were in consternation for fear of an attack on Quebec, from Admiral SERCEY's fleet, who it was there said, had thirteen thousand Troops with him; and that some of the forces from Upper Canada, had been actually ordered down to Quebec. It was also reported, that the Flora, a French forty gun Frigate, had entered the Gulf of St. Laurence, and destroyed some fisheries.
By the Schooner Peggy, Capt. O'Brian, in 25 days from Kingston Jamaica, to Baltimore, we learn, that a great number of American vessels have been carried into Kingston by the British cruisers, and that
10 or 12 of them have been condemned. Several masters, whose vessels were condemned, came passengers in the Peggy.
Among the many affecting circumstances which took place at Philadelphia during the ravages of the late pestilential disorder, we hand our readers the following.
A family living in the second loft of a house in Water-Street, caught the disorder—there were a father, mother, and two small children. The family living under them, in the same house, knew that their neighbour was in distress but, for fear of the contagion's communicating to their apartment, did not visit them. The fourth day after they were supposed to have received the disorder, the lower family frequently heard the cry of a child—on which the master of it was induced to venture into the apartment—where he beheld the father, mother, and one child—a corpse:—On the bed beside the mother, lay the wretched infant, endeavouring to draw substance from the putrid breast of its dead parent! it died also the next day.

To the children of humanity and sentiment the following extract from the Task will not be unpleasing.
OH for a lodge in some vast wilderness, Some boundless contiguity of shade, Where rumour of oppression and deceit, Of unsuccessful or successful war, Might never reach me more. My ear is pain'd, My soul is sick with ev'ry day's report Of wrong and outrage with which earth is fill'd. There is no flesh in man's obdurate heart, It does not feel for man. The nat'ral band Of brotherhood is fever'd at the touch That falls asunder at the touch of fire. Lands intersected by a narrow frith Abhor each other. Mountains interpos'd Make enemies of nations, who had else, Like kindred drops, been mingled into one. Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys. Then what is man? And what man seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man? Sure there is need of social intercourse, Benevolence and peace and mutual aid Between the nations, in a world that seems To toll the death-bell of its own decrease. Sure 'tis but seemly, that where all deserve, And stand expos'd, by common peccancy, To what no few have felt, there should be peace, And brethren in calamity should love.
THE  Pleasing Instructor. ON SICKNESS.
Our life is nothing but our death begun; As tapers waste the instant they take fire.
YOUNG.
IT has been observed by many writers, that nothing makes a more ridiculous figure in a man's life, than the disparity we often find in him, sick and well. Thus one of an unfortunate constitution is perpetually exhibiting a miserable example of the weakness of his mind, or of his body, in their turns. I have had frequent opportunities of late to consider myself in these different views, and hope I have received some advantage by it. If what Mr. Waller says be true, that
The soul's dark cottage, batter'd and decay'd, Lets in new light thro' chinks that time has made.
Then surely sickness, contributing no less than old age to the shaking down this scaffolding of the body, may discover the inclosed structure more plainly. Sickness is a sort of early old age; it teaches us a difference in our earthly state, and inspires us with the thoughts of a future, better than a thousand volumes of philosophers and divines. It gives so warning a caution of those props of our vanity, our strength and youth, that we think of fortifying ourselves within, when there is so little dependence on our outworks. Youth, at the very best, is but a betrayer of human life in a gentler and smoother manner than age. It is like a stream that nourishes a plant upon its bank, and causes it to flourish and blossom to the sight, but at the same time is undermining it at the root in secret. My youth has dealt more fairly and openly with me; it has afforded me several prospects of my danger, and given me an advantage not very common to young men, that the attractions of the world have not dazzled me very much; and I began when most people end, with a full conviction of the emptiness of all sorts of ambition, and the unsatisfactory nature of all human pleasures.
When a small fit of sickness tells me this scurvy tenement of my body will fall in a little time, I am even as unconcerned as was that honest Hibernian, who (being in bed in a great storm some years ago, and told the house would tumble over his head) made answer, What care I for the house, I am only a lodger. I fancy it is the best time to die when one is in the best humour; and so excessively weak as I now am, I may say with conscience, that I am not at all uneasy at the thought, that many men, whom I never had any esteem for, are likely to enjoy this world after me. When I reflect what an inconsiderable little atom every single man is, with respect to the whole creation, methinks it is a shame to be concerned at the removal of so trivial an animal as I am. In the morning after my exit, the sun will rise as bright as ever, the flowers smell as sweet, the plants spring as green, the world will proceed in its old course, people will laugh as heartily, and marry as fast as they were used to do. The memory of man (as it is elegantly expressed in the wisdom of Solomon) passeth away as the remembrance of a guest that tarrieth but one day. There are reasons enough, in the fourth chapter of the same book, to make any young man contented with the prospect of death. For honorable age is not that which standeth in length of time, or is measured by a number of years; but wisdom is the gray hair to man, and an unspotted life is old age. He was taken away speedily, lest that wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.
