CAME to the barn yard of the subscriber in Newington, in the course of November last, five stray sheep, with a clip from each ear, and some other marks; the owner is desired to take them home and pay charges. JOHN G. PICKERING.

PARIS, October 3.
As it becomes every day more difficult to guard the prisoners in the temple, on account of the measures which they concert together, and as the responsibility of the council-general of the commons renders it necessary for them to prevent them from escaping, they have passed the following decrees:
 I. That LOUIS and ANTOINETTE shall be confined apart.  II. That each prisoner shall have a separate apartment.  III. That their Valet-de-Chambre shall be arrested.  IV. That the citizen HERT shall be added to the five commissioners already appointed.  V. The commissioners are authorized to put in force the decree of Sept. 29, and to deprive them of their silver plate and table equipage; and in a word, to take such steps as they may think proper, to preserve those hostages of the conspiracy of tyrants combined against the liberty of the Republic. 
BENNINGTON, (Ver.) Nov. 30.
Extract of a letter from an officer in the camp, near Pittsburgh, to his friend in this town, dated November 1st.
"We are about 2000 strong at this place; shall take winter quarters about 15 miles down the Ohio, on the western shore, and shall probably move down the river early in the spring."
NEW-BEDFORD, Dec. 8.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in Dunkirk, to his friend in this town, Oct. 5.
"We are warmly attacked by the most part of Europe, but they have gained little or no advantage of us yet. Lisle, the capital of our department, is attacked by thirty five thousand Austrians; they are continually heaving shells and red hot shot; they have burnt some houses, but one hundred thousand men could not take it in six months, if there is no treason inside of the city. The citizens are marching from all parts to its relief: I think the siege will be raised in two days. The King of Sardinia, wishing to have part of the honor of conquering France, took part against us—about fifteen days ago, our army opposed him, marched immediately into his country, driving his army before them, and took possession of the capital of Savoy, and will soon be in possession of his whole kingdom. It is somewhat expected that the enemy will attack this place which, is not very strong; but I hope they will not, for you know I don't like fighting."
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.
The British October Packet arrived at New-York on Wednesday last. She brings London papers to the fourth of October. The accounts of French affairs, if not contradictory, are by no means sufficiently explicit to give a satisfactory idea of their real situation.
Accounts from Ostend, under the London head of October 2, say that the army of M. Dumourier, consisting of 25,000, having been surrounded by the Austrians under the Duke of Brunswick, had surrendered at discretion—that the Duke took possession of Chalons the 22d, and that Rheims surrendered
the 24th September; and the advance guard of the Austrian army was at Meaux, about twelve leagues from Paris. It appears, however, that the latest accounts received direct from Paris in London, do not contain the above events. The French papers mention that a negotiation had been on foot between the Duke and the French General.
Official accounts are published of the success of M. Montequieu, commander of one of the French armies, who had invaded Savoy, and made a conquest of almost the whole duchy—and was in possession of Chambery, the capital. Lisle, a strong town in French Flanders, was besieged by a large army of Austrians; the garrison making the most vigorous defence. Other accounts under the Paris head of 29th September, say that the communication between Chalons and the army, which had been interrupted, has been re-established by General Du Bouquet, at the head of 10,000 men, and that a battle was become inevitable from the position of the Prussians, who were masters of the heights behind St. Menchould.—Gen. Anselm, with a French army of 6,000 men, was gone on an expedition against Nice; if he is successful, the King of Sardinia will be confined to the territory of Piedmont and the Island of Sardinia. A fete is to be celebrated in Paris, in commemoration of the restoration of liberty to the Allobroges.
A Paris article of 30th Sept. says—
The people become very uneasy for the state of the armies. A certain air of mystery pervades the few accounts which are given from thence; and the War Minister receiving no advices, is a circumstance of alarm. A strange intimacy seems subsisting between the officers of the combined armies and those of Dumourier and Kellerman.
It is said, there have been several secret conferences between Brunswick, Lucchesini, and several Frenchmen; and it is presumed, that these conferences tend to an accommodation, though some persons think it is a stratagem.
Several other articles mention that frequent interviews had taken place between the French and Prussian officers; particularly that the son of the King of Prussia had dined with General Dumourier.
A letter to the French National Convention from Dr. Priestly, is published; in which he declines the honor of a seat in that assembly; but expresses the warmest wishes for a speedy and happy establishment of their affairs.—Marshal Luckner was at Paris at the date of the
last accounts; the convention had decreed that he should not quit that city till a definitive decision had taken place respecting him. The French convention have decreed that the plan of the constitution to be formed by that body, shall not be discussed by them until two months after it shall have been reported by the committee appointed to draft it.—All was quiet in Paris the latter end of September. No late accounts of M. la Fayette. M. Barnave, a prisoner with the Austrians, was said to be dangerously sick. On the 22d September the Minister of War communicated to the convention a letter from M. Kellerman, in which he gives an account of a severe action between his army and a large body of Austrians, on the 20th, in which the French had greatly the advantage, though the Austrians were more numerous: the French lost 250 killed and wounded. There is a letter under the Paris head, from the Commissioners to the Northern Army, dated Chalons Sept. 27, which, if authentic, proves beyond doubt that that place had not surrendered to the Duke of Brunswick the 22d, as before stated in the account from Ostend. M. Servan and M. Roland, two of the French Ministry, appointed on the deposing of the King, have resigned.
NORWICH, Dec. 4.
ALLOWING eight persons to a family, there are in Connecticut, R. Island and Massachusetts 85,694 families—Consequently, upon a moderate calculation, these three States must make Thanksgiving day Dr. to about

BOSTON, December 12.
The latest intelligence from Guadeloupe and Martinico announce, that on the first November every thing there, was tranquil, and the greatest harmony subsisted between the Planters and the Citizens.—The towns began to realize the duration of their tranquility. The produce was at a moderate price.
  White Sugar from 13 to 16 dollars.   Brown do. from 8 to 9 dollars.   Molasses 2 pisterines a gallon.   Fish from 7 to 8 dollars a hundred. 
In November the western part of the Island of Hispaniola was perfectly restored to peace; brown Sugar was sold at 8 dollars, and Molasses at 50 sols from those islands the gallon. The Provinces North and South still presented a spectacle of desolation; but the preparations constantly making encouraged the hope of the speedy return of order and tranquility. [Courier de l'Univers.]
We are informed, that it is seriously spoken of, in the Islands of Martinico and Guadeloupe, to make application to the British Government to take those islands under the jurisdiction of its laws, if the new order of things in France should be established.
A number of French people are now forming a settlement, and building a town on or near the Chenango river, in the North-West parts of the state of New-York. The
Chenango river falls into lake Ontario. It is said, one hundred houses are to be built the ensuing season.
JACOBINS.
Many persons are at a loss for the meaning of the word Jacobin, as applied to a celebrated republican Society in France; and not a few execrate them, upon a supposition, of their being some way related to the English Jacobins, from the similarity of name. The following explanation may be sufficient: "This Society (which takes its name from the accidental circumstance of its meeting in a Church, formerly belonging to a Convent of Jacobin Monks) stands at the head of, and is closely connected with about 40,000 societies of a similar nature, dispersed over every part of the nation. All public and constitutional questions are here debated in the fullest, the most free, and open manner. When a measure of public importance is taken into consideration, a motion is first made on the subject; it is then referred to a committee, and their report is immediately transmitted to all other societies, who in the like manner take the affair into consideration, and transmit their resolutions thereupon to the Society at Paris. If the majority of opinions are in favor of the measure, it is then proposed to the National Assembly as proper to be sanctioned by a decree; and the Representatives of the people give it a final and solemn discussion."
ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Mr. Adams, the Vice President of the United States, in his "Defence of the American Constitutions" says, "Schools for the education of all, should be placed at convenient distances, and be maintained at the public expense. The revenues of the state would be applied infinitely better, more charitably, wisely, usefully, and therefore politically, in this way, than even in maintaining the poor—this would be the best way of preventing the existence of the poor. If nations should ever be wise, instead of erecting thousands of useless offices, or engaging in unmeaning wars, they will make a fundamental maxim of this, that no human creature shall grow up in ignorance."
LITERARY ARTICLES.
A new paper commenced publishing in this town, on Monday last, called the "Political Courier of the World," in French and English, in columns corresponding with each other. From the specimen given in the first number, the public may anticipate much accurate information of the situation of affairs in France, and the West-Indies, from this source. It has commenced with a succinct account of the rise of the French Revolution, in language elegantly correct, and sentiments evidently impartial. The Editor is a man of talents; and his resources of information, direct. In a political view the benefits of a paper conducted on this plan, are obvious; but not more so than the advantage to learners of French, from having the events of the times handed to them in that beautiful language, attended with an easy translation.—It has our best wishes for success.
There are now in the press at New-York, "Memoirs of the Life, Letters and Essays, of the late Gen. CHARLES LEE, Lt. Colonel of the British 44th Regt.—Colonel in the service of Portugal, Major-General and Aid de camp to the King of Prussia, and second in command in the service of the United States in the late war."
December 15.
Yesterday arrived here, the Ship Eleanor, Capt. Redman, in 51 days from the Downs. The papers by this arrival are only to October 3, which is not so late as the accounts received direct from France.—Therefore the public must yet suspend their earnest curiosity for intelligence from the Grand Theatre of European politics.
We learn, that a vessel has arrived at Wilscaset, in a short passage from Ireland: But we cannot learn that she brings any material information: The papers brought by her, we are told, are to the 20th October.
NOTICE —On the 8th Nov. the Lantern of the Light-House, on Tybee, Georgia, took fire, and was entirely consumed. For some time, therefore, no light can appear at that place.

INDIAN ELOQUENCE.
[A writer in a southern paper, under the signature of WILLIAM COCKE, having charged the Cherokee nation of Indians, with various murders, and excesses—one of the Chiefs of that nation has answered him in the Knoxville paper, as follows:—Which we insert as information, and a fine specimen of aboriginal composition.]
Friends and Brothers, the Printers,
I HAVE no money to send you, but I will give you two pounds of beaver for it, if you will put this talk upon paper, like William Cocke's , that it may be heard a great way off as well as his. HANGING MAW.
WILLIAM COCKE , of Mulbery Grove .
I am going to give you a talk, and it shall be short, for those who talk much do not always tell the truth. I suppose you wish it to be thought that you are a man and a warrior, and you make long talks, and get them printed in the Knoxville Gazette, that they may be seen and heard a great way off. The talk you have made is not your own talk—you stole it— Brackenbridge had the same talk before.
WILLIAM COCKE,
What you have to talk about treaties. You know nothing about them—I have heard your talks before—they are all like nothing.
You suppose the goods given to the treaty, and those which were to be paid every year to my people, were given to buy our friendship. I told you that you knew nothing about the matter; they were the price of our lands, promised in fair and open treaty. You got a great quantity of lands, worth an hundred times as much as you gave for them.
You have a heart like a squaw, and talk like one: You say fear is the best and only assurance of the friendship of an Indian. This is the language of a bad heart: Why say an Indian? The Great Man above made us all of the same clay, both red and white people, and gave to some the hearts of men, and to others the hearts of squaws. Yours is of the latter sort, or you would not talk such hard talks, and say all the Cherokees must be killed, because some of them are bad men, and go to war.
I am glad to hear you talk hard of your great father, the President, and of the plans of the United States with respect to Indian affairs. He will see you talk like a squaw and that you know nothing about what is good for him to do.
You tell the little talks of your bad men, who talk when they ought not, as you do, to make themselves great men, as if they were the head men and councils of the whole
nation, and you add a number of lies to your talks out of your own head, and you have put them upon paper, and sent them a great way off, to make our beloved father the President, and all his beloved men, think that all the Cherokees, men, women and children are bad, and ought to be laid on the ground.
You are not a man and a warrior—but to make people believe you are, you talk of having killed Reanna . You say you did it by good fortune: but remember it was in time of peace and you did not know but he was a good man when you killed him. You also murdered my beloved brother, the Tassel , or some of your people, with hearts like yours did it—in time of peace too—these are not the actions of men and warriors.
I suppose you will put more of your talks on paper. I will not answer them any more.
You are but a boy, and talk for yourself. Our great father, the President, did not tell you to speak to us, and he will not hear your talks, nor will we hear them any more—they are like the talks of a Mush man.
We understood that your government was a good one and your laws just, and that your father the President, and the men whom he appointed as warriors and counsellors were to see those laws executed. We never heard that you, William Cocke , have been chosen a warrior or a counsellor, since the battle of the Long-Island, and I know he will not listen to any of your talks. He has sent a beloved man to hold talks with us. The man is like himself and has a good heart, and I know our great father will listen, only to his talks, nor does he allow me to hear any other.
This talk I have delivered in the beloved town of Chota, October 1792.
HANGING MAW.
SALEM , December 11. MORE GOOD NEWS OF THE FRENCH.
Capt. Thomas Putnam arrived here on Saturday from Gottenburg. He sailed on the 22d of October; some days previous to which, there had been no news from France, by reason of a delay of the mails; but in the afternoon of the 21st several posts which had been due came in, bringing with them important intelligence respecting the war, Capt. Putnam's immediate departure prevented his obtaining particulars; but he says the purport of it was—That the Duke of Brunswick, was flying precipitately before the national troops of France, and it was supposed he would not make a stand until he was clear out of the French territories—That in one action, some time in
October, the despotick army lost 8000 men—and, in short, that such brilliant success was attending the arms of France, as men fighting in the cause of liberty deserved; and such disgrace befalling the enemies of freedom, as their cause richly merited.—This intelligence was received at Gottenburg with too great a decree of pleasure to be concealed—those only, whose consequence and expectation were founded upon the perpetuity of hereditary tyranny, were chagrined at events so contrary to their delusive dreams.
WATER for BALLAST.
A writer in a West-India paper recommends ballasting boats and small craft with water, the kegs of about 15 or 20 gallons each, made in such a manner as will take least room in stowing. In this case, if the boat upset, she will float with the casks, and perhaps save the lives of all on board; and when you are becalmed, start your water and the boat will row easier, and when the wind breezes, fill up your casks, which you may do by the help of a tunel and bucket. A boat ballasted with water in casks, sails much livelier on the water than one with stones.

SETH WILLEY, Constable. Thornton, October 22, 1792.
Take Notice.
THE subscriber being authorised to recruit a Company of Soldiers, to serve three years in that most deservedly celebrated Western Country, these are to notify such enterprising young men of New-Hampshire as wish to explore it, that an opportunity now offers, provided they will do it in the character of a Soldier. Any one desirous to engage as such, will have an opportunity by calling in this town, where he shall receive eight dollars bounty, a handsome suit of uniform clothes, three dollars per month, and good usage.—He also offers pardon to any and all the Soldiers, who deserted from him in this town, or on his way to Fort-Franklin, or at that place, provided they surrender themselves to him by the first of January 1793. Should they pay no attention to this, they will compel the subscriber to use his utmost endeavors to apprehend them, in which case they may expect the severest punishment.
