ADDRESS Of the DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY in Wythe County, Virginia, to the People of the United States.
FELLOW CITIZENS,
It is a right of the people peaceably to assemble, and deliberate—it is a right of the people to publish their sentiments. These rights we exercise, and esteem invaluable.
A war raging in Europe; a war of tyrants against liberty, cannot be unfelt by the people of the United States; it has roused our feelings. We have rejoiced when victory followed the standards of liberty. When despots were successful, we have experienced the deepest anxiety. We have lamented that our good wishes were the only aid we could give the French.
Among the different powers combined against the rights of man, we have marked the British nation, the champion of despotism. With indignation we have heard their insolent dictates to the small neutral powers of Europe, to join in the subjugation of France. With sorrow we have seen every principle of liberty, hitherto retained by the people of Britain, violated by its present corrupt government, and their most virtuous inhabitants transported to foreign lands, or going into voluntary exile: But we hope these things will ultimately produce good, and that there is still a latent spark, which by excessive friction, will kindle to a flame, and will consume the rotten edifice of the British government, on the ruins of which another may arise, the basis whereof shall be justice, liberty and equality.
While with anxious expectation we contemplate the affairs of Europe, it will be criminal to forget our own country. A session of Congress having just passed, the first in which the people were equally represented, it is a fit time to take a retrospective view of the proceedings of government.—We have watched each motion of those in power, but are sorry we cannot exclaim "well done thou good and faithful servant." We have seen the nation insulted, our rights violated, our commerce ruined—and what has been the conduct of government? Under the corrupt influence of the paper system, it has uniformly crouched to Britain; while on the contrary our allies, the French, to whom we owe our political existence, have been treated unfriendly; denied any advantages from their treaties with us; their Minister abused; and those individuals among us, who desired to aid their arms, prosecuted as traitors—blush Americans for the conduct of your government.
Citizens,
Shall we Americans, who have kindled the spark of liberty, stand aloof and see it extinguished, when burning a bright flame in France, which hath caught it from us? Do you not see if despots prevail, you must have a despot like the rest of the nations? If all tyrants unite against free people, should not all free people unite against tyrants? Yes! Let us unite with France, and stand or fall together.
We lament that a man who hath so long possessed the public confidence, as
the head of the executive department hath possessed it, should put to so severe a trial, as he hath by a late appointment. The constitution hath been trampled on, and your rights have no security.
Citizens! What is despotism? Is it not a union of executive, legislative and judicial authorities in the same hands? This union, then, has been effected. Your chief justice has been appointed to an executive office, by the head of that branch of government: In that capacity he is to make Treaties: Those treaties are your supreme law; and of this supreme law he is supreme judge!! What has become of your constitution and liberties?
Fellow Citizens,
We hope the misconduct of the executive may have proceeded from bad advice; but we can only look to the immediate cause of the mischief. To us it seems a radical change of measures is necessary. How shall this be effected? Citizens! It is to be effected by a change of men. Deny the continuance of your confidence to such members of the legislative body as have an interest distinct from that of the people. To trust yourselves to stockholders, what is it, but like the Romans, to deliver the poor debtor to his creditor, as his absolute property. To trust yourselves to speculators, what is it, but to commit the lamb to the wolf to be devoured.
It was recommended by the conventions of some of the states, so to amend the constitution, as to incapacitate any man to serve as president more than eight years successively. Consider well this experiment. 'Tis probably the most certain way to purge the different departments, and produce a new state of things.
Believe us, fellow-citizens, the public welfare is our only motive.
WILLIAM NEELY, Chairman.
Attest,
JOHN MONTGOMERY, Sec'y.
The Republican Printers throughout the Union, are requested to publish this address.

LONDON, June 14.
Last night an officer came express to the Admiralty from Portsmouth announcing the arrival of Earl Howe with his victorious fleet at Spithead.
PLYMOUTH, June 12.
This morning arrived here 18 sail of the line and 9 frigates (belonging to Lord Howe's fleet) under the command of Admiral Graves, and Rear Admiral Montague; the remainder of the fleet passed this port for Portsmouth last night, with the French ships of war in company which Lord Howe captured on the first of June, viz.
   Guns. Guns.     Le Sans Pareil 80 Le Impetueux 74   Le Northumberland 74 Le Juge 80   L'Amerique 74 L'Achille 74  
From ST. DOMINGO.
An account of the massacre which took place at Fort Dauphin, the 7th of July, at 11 o'clock in the morning, brought by Mr. Simon of Philadelphia, who was there in an American vessel at that time.
"Monday the 7th of July, at 11 o'clock in the morning, arrived at Fort Dauphin a Spanish friar, escorted by six guides, coming from Laxabon (a small borough, four leagues distant from Fort Dauphin) several persons enquired what news he brought. He answered, None, and said all was very safe. About an hour after Jean Francois (General of the banditti, who has always been upon good terms with the Spaniards) and Benjamin, his first Captain, entered the city, with 5
or 600 negroes, and 58 mounted on horseback. In that number there was about 400 armed with guns, the others had only swords and cudgels. When they arrived at the market, Jean Francois ordered them to kill without distinction all the French white people.
No sooner was the order given, when the banditti separated in all the streets of the city, but the greatest part assembled upon the sea side, where a great number of white people had met together, without arms, to get on board the vessels that were in the bay; but in vain: they were all massacred without mercy, while the same scene was acted in the different quarters of the city. This horrible slaughter lasted till six or seven o'clock at night. Though a great number were killed in their houses during the night. A few days after, the account of the dead given to one Dupinois, who acts as secretary to Jean Francois, amounting to 742, amongst whom were three women, not including a great number that have been drowned. There was at that time at Fort Dauphin 7 or 800 regular troops. Some of them were even under arms upon the market place, beholding with indifference that horrible slaughter, and used to say loudly that it was what the French deserve. A few of the unhappy victims fled to them, being pursued by the negroes, but the unfeeling Spaniards pointed their bayonets at them. The cry of those villains during the massacre was Long live the King! The unhappy Le Ray Dumaine was killed by the Spaniards, and Mr. Carabas, who swam to save himself, and rested on the cable of a Spanish sloop, was pursued by the crew with their oars.
"Seven or eight Frenchmen who were settled at Laxabon for some years past, had their houses plundered of every thing by the inhabitants of the same place on the 8th of July.
"The same gentleman brought with him a list of 120 names of the unfortunate victims.
"Two Americans are missing, and are supposed to have shared the same fate."
WINCHESTER, August 4.
The following melancholy accident happened, on the 1st ult. at Shelbyville, Kentucky.
A difference happening between Major Shannon and Mr. Felte, an affray took place, in which Major S. stabbed Mr. Felte in the breast with a dirk, of which wound he expired within half an hour after he received it. After receiving the wound, Mr. F. threw a stone at Major Shannon, which struck him on the head and fractured his skull. An inflammation succeeded, and his life was despaired of when our informant left that place, being then speechless. We since learn that he is dead.
On Wednesday last Opiamingo, and the rest of the Chickasaw Indians, passed through this town, on their way home from Philadelphia. We hear the President of the United States, has honored some of the Chiefs, with officers commissions in the army, and that they are to lead on a chosen band of warriors, against the hostile tribes opposed to General Wayne.
BALTIMORE, August 11.
The ship Venus, Captain Christian Becker, arrived a few days ago from Bremen, was boarded off our Capes by Coodridge's three masted schooner. She searched the Venus's papers, and permitted her to proceed without any molestation.
Capt. Peter Lombard, of the sloop Harriot, in 21 days from St. Thomas's, informs, that previous to his departure from that place, information had been received of Admiral Jervis's having withdrawn all his forces from Guadalupe, except two frigates, which he left to cruise off that island.
PHILADELPHIA, August 11.
General Neville and Major Lenox arrived in town last Friday from the Western country—they went down the Ohio
as far as Marietta—and from thence crossed the wilderness to Virginia.
We are assured that the above gentlemen found the people in the Western Counties of Virginia, well disposed to support the laws of the Union, and very generally reprobating the conduct of the rioters in this State. The public papers from that quarter hold that language—indeed it is the language from every part of the union whence intelligence has been received.
August 14.
A person arrived in town from Pittsburgh, on Tuesday night last—the intelligence by him is substantially as follows:—That the meeting proposed to be held in Braddock's field last Friday week, took place—that between four and 5000 persons, in arms, were supposed to be present—that the whole body marched from thence to Pittsburgh—that they sent a deputation to Major Butler commanding officer of the continental troops in the garrison there, informing him that the movement of the people towards Pittsburgh was merely to see their friends, and that they had no hostile intentions respecting the garrison or public stores.
That Major Butler informed them he was under no apprehensions, but if they meant to keep out of danger, they must not come within reach of his cannon—that the whole body took a circuitous, distant route by the fort—entered, and marched through the town and dispersed.—We are further informed that Major Isaac Craig, of Pittsburgh, has been prohibited by the rioters—but is safe within the fort; we further learn that Messrs. Findley, Smilie and Gallatin are indefatigable in their exertions among the people to restore peace and good order.
The military stores sent on from this city some time ago have arrived safe at Pittsburgh.
There are no certain accounts in town of the insurgents having intercepted the provisions, &c. intended for Gen. Wayne's army.
The Barque Neptune, Capt. CLIFTON, arrived at the Fort yesterday, in 56 days from Ostend. He informs that at the time of his sailing, about the 18th of June, it was expected that place would fall into the hands of the French, who had a large body of men about seven miles distant from it. The shipping in harbour were prepared to sail at the shortest notice, and other circumstances evinced an intended evacuation. The firing between the two armies was kept up every day. A body of 500 cavalry, just arrived from England, on their being disembarked, were marched immediately into the field, and lost 150 in the first action.
The accounts of the action between the fleets was related as in the accounts from the West-Indies, but it was reported that the Chesapeake fleet was safe arrived in France.
NEW-YORK, August 16.
Yesterday arrived the ship Eliza, Capt. Woosley, belonging to Boston, from Bourdeaux, which she left the 10th of June, and informs, that part of the Chesapeake fleet had arrived safe, but he does not know the number.
Capt. Woosley was taken not far from Sandy Hook, about two weeks since, by the British Admiral MURRAY's fleet, who kept him in company for several days; but after a strict examination, they permitted him to proceed on his voyage to this port.
NEW-PORT, August 18.
Last Wednesday arrived at this port, a British brig, of about 120 tons, prize to the French privateer schooner Sans Pareille. She was from Turk's Island, loaded with salt, rum and molasses, bound to New-Brunswick, Nova-Scotia. The prize master's name is John Baptiste Bernard, who came on shore, and the next day was taken up and confined in our gaol, in consequence of a Proclamation issued by the Governor of South-Carolina, offering a reward for apprehending said Baptiste, for murdering, in a most barbarous manner, a citizen of Charleston.

LATE Foreign Intelligence By the Astrea, from Liverpool, arrived at Boston since our last. FRENCH OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE Chesapeake Fleet, and the grand Naval Engagement.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, Monday, June 16. Barrere's Report of the Naval action of the 1st of June.
THE Municipality of Chappelle Franclade presented an ear of corn at the Bar of the Convention, the produce of the present harvest.
Barrere, Organ of the Committee of Public Welfare, spoke as follows:—“The valuable present which has just been offered you, seems to be the fore runner of the happy news, I am about to communicate. The Convoy of one hundred and sixteen vessels coming from America, has entered our ports, and brings us subsistence of all kinds. Our news on the Alps, and towards North, is equally good. Our troops have retaken possession of the Palatinate; Pirmasens is our own again; and the army of the Rhine is every where victorious.
“But an object still more important is, the provisioning the Republic.—Here, then, is an end of that Compact of Starvation between England and Spain, which was to desolate France with famine.
“The solicitude of the Committee is great. The English had united all their forces on the ocean to capture this rich convoy. The safety of the Country depended on its arrival.—What have your Committee done?
“It has been secret in its measures. It has united all its maritime strength. Jean Bon St. Andre was on board the Montague; and as our fleet was inferior to the English in the number of fourteen ships of the line, the Committee ordered the French fleet to station itself between the enemy and the convoy; and not to fight, unless it was to save this valuable fleet.
“The courage of Republicans, and their hatred to the English, triumphed over every obstacle. A battle became inevitable; and it has been one of the most glorious and bloody that ever occurred in the annals of naval history.
“Our fleet, though fourteen ships inferior in number, and to leeward of the English, made them feel our vengeance, and obliged them to abandon to us the scene of action. Seven of our vessels were dismasted; Ten belonging to the English suffered the same fate, and there is every reason to presume, that one of their three deckers went to the bottom. Our seven dismasted vessels are not yet arrived in port, and there is reason to apprehend they are lost.
“Let Pitt then boast of this Victory to his Nation of Shopkeepers, ( nation bon-tiquiere .) Already do the English Newspapers announce that a division of our fleet has taken a Dutch Convoy. But we can tell you better news: not a day passes but the commerce of our enemies affords us provisions and wealth.
“Here then is what the French Marine has done, now that it is rid of its vermin Nobility. When the details of this Victory reach us, we will recommend the reward due to our brave Sailors. Our applauses shall reach from one end of the Republic to the other.
“Now that the provisioning of the Republic is secured, we will unite our forces; attack the vile Knaves; and England shall be the spot to which our Republican cannons shall be pointed.
When this report was concluded, Barrere read the letter from the Representatives, Jean Bon St. Andre and Prieur de la Marne, announcing these happy tidings.
“The English (says he), directed their principal attack towards the Montague; they fired 130 shot at her.—She was attacked by six ships at one time. Her equipment is covered with glory—near 300 of her men were killed or wounded. Jean Bon St. Andre was wounded by a block falling upon his arm. The brave Bazil, Captain of the Montague, was killed.
“Villaret and Cauvet gave the greatest proofs of their courage; and had it not been for the cowardice of _____, and some others, we should have taken the ten dismasted English vessels. We hope our seven vessels will arrive. In the mean time we have ordered these cowards to Paris to be tried.”
“At length our object is fulfilled; The American Convoy has anchored at
St. Matthieu, and is coming to Brest. Our fleet is preparing to go to sea.”—The loudest applauses were heard during the reading of these several communications.
Barrere then communicated the dispatches which announced the advantages gained by the land forces. A first letter, written from the Army of the Alps, states, that our troops have taken possession of the valley of Sture; and of the post of the Barricades, very important from its position, and which was fortified much by art as well as by nature.
The General of Division, Moreau, writes from Pirmasens, dated the 14th inst. as follows:
“The Division of the Army which I command, has just possessed itself of Pirmasens, Rhorbach and Bliescastle. The enemy was obliged to fly. We lost only five men.”
Barrere then read a Letter from the Head Quarters at Marchienna, dated June 15, announcing the proceedings of the army of the Sambre.
LONDON, June 21.
The Committee of American Merchants had an interview with Mr. Pitt on Saturday last, to know whether they might with confidence prepare their goods for the American markets, as usual; or whether, under the existing circumstances, the alarm of a rupture was sufficiently grounded to make them hesitate in executing the orders they had received? Mr. Pitt declined giving them any advice as to executing their orders; he said he was happy in being able to assure them, that the Governments of the two countries were disposed to preserve a good understanding; but it could not be concealed, that Jacobin doctrines had made their way into America to such an extent as to make it doubtful what would be the issue of the differences now to be settled. He trusted however, that they would be guided by moderation and wisdom in the propositions they had to make to this country, and the Gentleman whom they had deputed, on the occasion, would find his Majesty's Ministers earnestly disposed to preserve the peace which so happily subsists between the two countries.
FRENCH HEROISM.
Extract of a letter from a Lieut. of one of Lord Howe's Fleet.
“The Mutius Scævola was one of the best fought ships belonging to the French, in the late action. She was engaged with the Orion for five hours, during one of which the men could be picked off the guns with pistols.
“The Captain of the Mutius Scævola was a man of the most undaunted courage. During the action he ran 20 of his men thro' their bodies for attempting to desert their quarters. He was easily distinguished by a large bonnet rouge, ornamented round the bottom with gold fringe. He had only one arm; but whether the other was shot off in the action, I have not been able to ascertain.
“After the engagement was over, I went on board the French ship La Juste; the officers of which told me that she had not suffered so much, as the other ships, having only lost 300 men.
“The sinking of the Vengeur was one of the most awful sights I ever beheld. She went down within a quarter of a mile of our ship. We had not a tackle to hook to a boat and our main yard was gone.
“The Ratler cutter went with about six boats to save the crew of the Vengeur, but when her main deck guns came on a level with the water, the boats rowed back, the action being so great as to render it impossible for them to proceed nearer the ship. Her upper works remained upon the surface of the water, to our astonishment for the space of 20 minutes; at the expiration of that time she sunk, the crew universally crying out, Vive La Republique! Vive La Liberte!
“The red hot shot fired by the French did considerable deal of damage. The Brutus, a large frigate cut down from a line of battle ship, was employed in heating shot. She passed within gun shot of us and killed eight men on board the Queen.
Defeat of the Poles.
BERLIN, June 9.
A Messenger arrived here this day from the Prussian army in Poland. He brings intelligence that on the 6th inst. his Prussian Majesty attacked the Polish Patriots under Gen. Kosciusko, near Geckozing. After a bloody battle of four hours the
Polish Gen. was forced to yield to the superiority of the Prussian force, and to retreat. His retreat, however, was conducted in a masterly manner, and his Prussian Majesty did not think proper to follow him. The number of the killed and wounded on the part of the Patriots was 1000.—They lost also 15 pieces of cannon.—Our loss is said to be near 1000.—Prince Louis, who with the dragoons of Biberstein first broke the ranks of the enemy, was made a Major General on the field of battle.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 13.
Our last accounts from the seat of war in Roussillon, left the Spaniards yet in possession of Port Vendee. Colliour and Bellegarde, in the French territory. The following translated from a handbill published at Bourdeaux on the 31st of May, by order of the Representative of the people there, is the latest intelligence from that quarter. The handbill was received by the Vulture. arrived on Monday, from Bourdeaux.
Copy of the letter written by Cagnou, director of the post-office with the army of the Eastern Pyrenees, to Arland, director of the post-office, Toulouse.
Head Quarters, Boulon, May 26.
Just as the post is about starting, we have taken Fort St. Elme, Coulioure and Port Vendre. The enemy has retired to Puix-Aurios, a mountain where we established, last year, some redoubts and batteries. It stands before St. Elme, and it is impossible that they can hold out there any time. They will be totally surrounded, if they are not already, and then they must surrender at discretion. Bellegarde still remains to be re-taken. Its communication with Spain is cut off, we therefore expect it will soon be in our power.
Another letter, dated
Head Quarters, Boulon, May 27.
We were yesterday mistaken as to the particulars of the victory our brave Republicans had obtained over the slaves of Spain. This is the truth: We have taken fort St. Elme, and Port Vendre only, so that the troops had retired under the citadel of Collioure, and to Fort l'Etoile, and Mirandon; the Spanish General demanded to capitulate, but he was not heard. To day, however, we granted a capitulation, as is now ascertained; but one important article of the capitulation is, that the garrison are to be prisoners of war, and it is thought to consist of about 4000 men. We are now then truly in possession of Collioure, St. Elme, and Port Vendre; Bellegarde remains to be taken. In the mean time, our troops are masters of the foundary of St. Laurent de la Muga, which the enemy attempted to retake; but after a warm engagement, we repulsed them, taking near 400 prisoners. Our camp between Jouquierre and Figuerre remains, and I hope the victories of yesterday and to day, will still encrease the courage of our brethren in arms, who, however, do not want it—their conduct is above all praise.
FURTHER DETAILS.
Head Quarters, May 27.
CAPITULATION OF COLLIURE.
The garrison composed of 5000 men, will go out 50 steps from the glacis, drums beating; there they will lay down their arms, and retire unmolested to their country.
The six general officers who commanded them, remain as hostages until the arrival of 5000 French, who are not to serve against Spain.
[Gen. Adv.]
NEWPORT, August 11.
Last Friday arrived in this harbour, the British Schooner St. George, prize to the French Frigate La Concorde. She was from Jamaica, bound to Nova-Scotia, her cargo consists of 45 Puncheons of Rum 15 of which were put on board the Concorde.
BOSTON, August 20.
The Pittsburg white-boys, it appears, by the last evening's accounts, were still bidding defiance to the laws; and that the principal citizens of Pittsburg had been forced into silence and inaction by their threats.
The most active measures are taking by the Commander in Chief, and general officers of the militia of Pennsylvania, for equipping that States' quota of the troops destined to quell the insurrection in the back parts of Pennsylvania. They are expected to be ready to march the 1st September, if necessary.
CHESAPEAK FLEET.
There are various accounts of the arrival of this fleet at various ports, in France; but they are not authentic. It may, however, be relied on, that on the third June, they were in a latitude and longitude, where they were in no danger, from any squadron from Britain, and were steering into the Bay of Biscay.
Subscriptions for the relief of our unfortunate citizens by the late fire, we understand, has been opened in Philadelphia, New-York, Salem, &c.—The heart that feels for other's woes, shall find each selfish sorrow less.
August 21.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Liverpool, dated 29th June.
“Had it not been for the uncertainty of the times, the Astrea, would have made a great freight out, but at present our manufacturers are afraid to ship, in consequence of some of your members of Congress having proposed a sequestration of British property; therefore until confidence is restored we expect there will be but few goods shipped for America. We have every reason to believe the intentions of our government are pacific towards America. We confess many on your side have suffered considerably by our cruisers in the West-Indies. But Mr. Pitt has promised restitution to the sufferers who can prove their losses; this we trust will reconcile matters.”
SALEME, August 19.
Capt. Tucker, who left Grand-Terre, the 18th of July, is of opinion that the description (given in St. Kitts, of Grand-Terre) was intended for Basseterre, Guadalupe; as the French were in good health and high spirits—as about 4000 negroes were faithfully doing duty as soldiers, as the English, who were there, suffered from sickness much more than the French, and as they had accounts that it was very sickly in the quarter possessed by the English, and it was expected they would quit Guadalupe entirely.
Capt. Tucker informs, that the naval force, which arrived at Point-a-Petre, was only three frigates; whose guns are taken out, and they hauled up; and that obstructions are sunk in the road.
The French were in no danger of starvation, as a number of American vessels had arrived in different ports of Grand-Terre, notwithstanding the British ships which were cruising off Point-a-Petre.
Capt. Tucker left at St. Ann's (Grand-Terre,) July 18th, Schooner Bethiah, Carver, of Boston; and Capt. Titcomb, in a Schooner from Newburyport.

LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, June 27.
Yesterday a general impress took place on the river, by which all the ships were stripped of their hands: a number of seamen by this are procured for the men of war under orders for immediate sailing. Orders are sent to Chatham for the Zealous and Venerable men of war, of 74 guns each, to be got round to Portsmouth with all possible dispatch.
June 28.
The Transports with Lord Moira's army was in sight of Ostend on Wednesday. His Lordship's orders, however, are not to land, if Ypres should be taken.
Reports were circulated at Ostend on Wednesday of the capture of Oudenarde. If this be true, the Duke of York's position is extremely central. The whole amount of the force under his Royal Highness and the Prince of Cobourg, does not exceed 40,000 men.
On the banks of the Sambre, the gentleman states; that the French have been equally successful. They have taken Charleroi, and were on Monday evening within six miles of Brussels.
The emigrants in the garrison of Ypres, were surrendered to the French. Their number, however, did not amount to more than 50.
Accounts as late as the 17th June, state that the French are retiring from Italy, except in the neighborhood of Turin, which, city it was expected, would fall into their hands.
GHENT, June 22.
A general consternation still prevails here, and all our rich people have taken refuge in Holland.
It is reported that the French have forced some of the posts belonging to the allies on the Sambre; that they are actually on their march towards Brussels; and that every one who can afford it has already emigrated from that capital; but on the other hand, some travellers from Brussels assure us, that Gen. La Tour has beaten the French and forced them to fall back beyond Gosselies. The Prince de Cobourg has set off in order to drive them once more beyond the Sambre.
BRUSSELS, June 20.
All is consternation here, and most people are packing off. The late battles we have had in Flanders on the river Sambre, are most dreadful—no time to rest—every day and night the French are attacking us; our troops are exhausted—the sight of the wounded which have passed under my window these few days past, is most distressing. We imagine that Ypres has capitulated, in this town there are 100 pieces of cannon, and from 6, to 7000 men. All the French are going off in great haste.
June 22.
Yesterday the French carried several of the Austrian and Dutch posts; particularly those of Chappell Harlaimont, above Binch, and Fontaine L'Eveque. The latter was of the utmost importance, as it covered Nivelles and Brussels.
In consequence of it being forced, the Allied troops are obliged to fall back on the Forest of Soignies, within two leagues of this capital. This of course, has occasioned the utmost consternation here.
The Commander in chief has ordered the Emigrants to fly to arms, and march against the enemy; but every one is busied about his own personal safety.
All the Civil officers belonging to the Government, are occupied in packing up their effects; the boats in the river are loaded with baggage; and the squares are crowded with waggons.
AUTHENTIC CORRESPONDENCE.
OSTEND, June 23, 8 o'clock, P. M.
The French were this day at noon at Sevekote, only two miles and an half from Ostend. It is expected that they will make an attempt against this town to-morrow. Every house is almost deserted.
The baggage, &c. has been sent away by the canal of Bruges, and the troops, are to follow immediately—We expected some succours from England, but none have yet arrived.
Various accounts have within these few days been circulated relative to Ypres: That it has surrendered is at length acknowledged by every one. The garrison were made prisoners of war. The Austrians were sent to Lisle, and the regiments of Hessians to Cassel. The town has received considerable damage.
As soon as the French took possession of it, their General ordered a civic Fete to be celebrated, at which all the inhabi-

ROME, May 30.
A courier from Venice has brought us intelligence that some Algerine corsairs and some French privateers have entered the Adriatic sea, and that in consequence the Venetian Republic had ordered the Squadron of Corsu to sail in quest of them.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.
By the brig Active, Capt. Blair, arrived at the Fort yesterday, in 44 days from Falmouth (England) we have received the following highly interesting intelligence.
From the MORNING CHRONICLE.
LONDON, June 18.
ON Monday night at a late hour, Mr. Basilico, and Mr. Mason arrived with dispatches from the Duke of York, these messengers were sent off at different times, but they both came over in the same packet. The intelligence brought by these messengers is extremely alarming. The accounts of the ineffectual attempts made by the Duke of York and General Clairfayt to relieve Ypres are confirmed to the full extent; the French have brought 400,000 to bear upon the Flanders frontier, and no power which the allies have to oppose is equal to the conflict.
The short letter published in the Gazette of last night is all that government have communicated on the subject; but it was generally believed yesterday that they had certain, though not official, accounts of the fall of Ypres, or at least that its fall was unavoidable.—Gen. Clairfayt fought with his usual bravery and his usual misfortune. A vast number of men have fallen, and the whole army under his command have been harassed and exhausted.
The fall of Ypres necessarily exposes Bruges and Ostend. Thus instead of an offensive campaign in the fields of France, the allies are reduced to the sad and unprofitable task of defending Flanders, and it is even now a doubtful point whether they will be able to keep their ground in that country.
The Oracle, a London paper states, that the Arch-Duke and the Emperor, are set off for Vienna, and that the Austrian forces are to be withdrawn, from the utter impossibility of making head against the French.—Clairfayt is driven to Ghent.—Ypres is said to have surrendered with 7000 men.
The active we learn, has brought papers to the 26th June—and it is said that Admiral Montague had been chased into port by nine French ships of the line.
There are rumours in circulation, that Turin is taken by the French—that the Duke of York is missing, &c.
The English papers state, that Ostend expected momentarily to be attacked, that there were 40,000 men in it, and that the inhabitants were ordered to leave the place, and it was expected the French would take it—that in consequence of the great successes of the French, it had been declared in the National Convention that it was probable that peace would take place before the natural time.
Capt. Clifton of the Neptune arrived at the Fort, left Ostend the 8th June. At this time fears were entertained that that place would fall into the hands of the French who were in considerable force about 7 miles from it. The shipping in the harbor were preparing to sail at the shortest notice, and other circumstances evinced an intended evacuation. From the mast head of vessels in the harbor, the contending forces, near Ostend could be distinguished. A body of 500 cavalry immediately on being arrived from England were marched into the field, and lost 150 in the first action.
Capt. Clifton does not say what army of the allies opposed the French in that quarter, but it was probably the body under Clairfayt.
August 16.
Mr. T. Francis came passenger in the Active, and has brought dispatches from Mr. Jay, which we learn are of the most agreeable complexion. We also hear that Mr. Jay, had been cordially received—and had been assured by the British Minister that full compensation would be made for all the property illegally taken from the citizens of the United States. That Mr. Pitt had informed the British merchants that they might go on with their shipments and consignments to the United States with the most perfect security, for that Great Britain had no idea of any rupture with this country.
NEW-YORK, August 20.
Extract of a letter from Martinique, to a gentleman at Philadelphia, received by yesterday's post.
"On the 10th July arrived at Barbadoes; a ship of 64, and one of 50 guns, with two frigates, 6 transports, and 1200 troops from England. On the 13th they were dispatched to Point-a-Petre, Guadaloupe. The British commanders use every exertion to finish the business at that place. The principal motive to their hitherto declining to fire on the French frigates in the harbour, is, that the latter have embarked 300 royalists on board those ships; but now the Admiral and General had come ultimately to a resolution for an attack of them, without any farther delay—the success is laid to be infallible.
[From a London Paper of June 26.]
Camp of Ecloo, near Thielt.
June 21st, 4 in the morning.
"I have only time to inform you of the melancholy posture of affairs in West-Flanders.
"Ypres surrendered yesterday morning. The garrison, consisting of ten battalions, much reduced in number by the siege, are prisoners of war, and have been conducted to Lille.
"The Hanoverians are at Burges, where the British, who were at Ostend, joined them last night.
"Gen. Clairfayt is at Thielt, and unless he receives reinforcements, must fall back upon Ghent to-morrow.
"Never was seen such a break up as that of yesterday at Ostend. Every body that could find the means were quitting the place. The magistrates and people of property were all gone. When the French come, they will find nothing but magazines empty, shops shut up, and houses deserted. Gen. Stewart yesterday gave leave to all the inhabitants to depart. All the ships in the harbor were ordered out into the road, and all the baggage belonging to the staff, the 8th regiment of foot, and the 8th dragoons, was embarked. The departure of Prince Ernest was the signal of alarm and flight.
"The French came yesterday with 20,000 men to Rousselae. A picquet of 30 men of the 8th dragoons sent out in the morning, was surrounded and taken before Gistell.
"As far as we can judge from appearances, Nieuport & Ostend will be abandoned to them in the course of a few days, without striking a blow, for the inundations have not produced the expected effect.
"The French have again passed the Sambre, and invested Charleroi with more numerous forces than before, so that we have no assistance to hope from that quarter, but much to fear."
BOSTON, August 20.
COMMUNICATIONS.
THE accounts published of the defeat of the Indians are so exactly similar to the defeats of the French by the Duke of York, that they cannot but excite a little notice.
A late account received at the War-office, of the defeat of the savages on the 1st of July, stands thus:
They attacked the escort commanded by Major M'Mahan, under the walls of Fort Recovery. While one party attacked the escort, another made an assault on Fort Recovery. No doubt this diversion of the Indians was intended more effectually to carry their point in intercepting Major M'Mahan, this being the main object of the attack.
It is said, "the Indians were repulsed with great slaughter," but how this appears there is no mention, only it is conjectured that "they carried off the greatest part of their dead," on the horses they took from us. All the execution we have any certainty of, is, "TEN Indians left on the ground;" detached from conjecture, (which there is not the least appearance to warrant) the account of this Indian defeat stands thus, viz.
   Indian War, Dr. Contra. Cr.     To Maj. M'Mahan, commander of the Escort,   21 officers and soldiers killed, By 10 dead Indians left on the ground,   29 wounded, By a greater number supposed to be killed.   100 horses wounded,   27 horses killed,   200 of the contractors horses killed and missing.    This must be considered as a glorious defeat, and must serve to give a noble specimen of our Indian expedition.
The loss of the stores of this escort, the horses, and the number of brave men killed and wounded, are but poorly compensated by the bodies of "ten Indians left dead on the ground."
This however is represented as a favorable action on the side of the United States. It is true this glorious action may help contractors, as a new supply of stores, horses, &c. will be immediately called for; and possibly the people of the United States, may have a small addition of taxes to help the progress of another campaign.
Thus are we amused in this Indian warfare, and our defeats are represented as victories.

Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this town, dated Portland, Aug. 19, 1794.
"Citizen,
"I arrived here from Brest, after a passage of 52 days. I left it 8 days after the arrival of the Convoy from the Chesapeake, they arrived at Brest in 58 days, and brought with them 15 rich prizes, returning from the West-Indies. The Brest fleet entered that port, two days before the Convoy, after chasing a division of the British fleet that were cruising between Brest and L'Orient. I send you herewith six pamphlets containing an account of the action they had with the British, and which was the means of saving the convoy, and would have been a decisive victory for us had it not been for the bad conduct of the Captain of the Jacobin and some others; the fact is that the English have suffered more than us, as they were not able to keep the sea after the action, and our fleet did not return till they were certain the convoy was out of danger; but if the English have gained some advantage in this action, they have paid very dear for it, by the loss of a great number of their trading vessels with which all our ports are crowded, insomuch that they had not room for all that arrived at Brest, and were obliged to send a number round to the river Londernou. In short the arms of the republic have been victorious in every quarter, and all her armies are now encamped in the enemy's territories.
A letter from the western country, dated July 22, to a gentleman in Winchester, concludes thus, "General Scott has marched with 2000 chosen rifle-men to reinforce General Wayne, so that we may expect this will be an active campaign against the northern Indians. The Chickasaws and Choctaws are about to bring to our assistance 1000 of their young warriors; they have upwards of 100 with our army now."

SCHOLAR of Washington! heroic chief! Long has thy country's violated rights, Claim'd the rich tribute of unbounded grief, From those whom freedom's splendid orbit lights!
What tho' the female tyrant of the north, Presumes to injure virtue's godlike cause— What tho' proud Frederick leads his legions forth, And dares to dictate arbitrary laws?
Soon shall their boasted power, their impious rage, Their fancied greatness, and despotic pride, Vanish before the rising glories of the age: Insulted heaven shall their dread fate decide.
While thou, brave chief, shalt on the wings of fame, To the bright pinnacle of glory rise; Grateful posterity shall praise thy name, And freedom's sons extol thee to the skies.
The most illustrious chiefs of ancient days, To thee their garlands and their wreaths re- sign;
Not Lucius Quintius, claims superior praise, And Decius owns the prize of virtue thine.
But if, perhaps, misfortune is thy doom, And thou must fall in thy career of fame, Eternal laurels shall surround thy tomb, And future ages shall revere thy name!
