Federal Legislature. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, JAN. 3.
MR. Madison, after some prefatory remarks on the situation of the United States before the adoption of the Federal Constitution, the want, then, of an unity of measures in support of their general interests; Which want, indeed, gave rise to the Constitution; the unprotected state of our commerce since, notwithstanding its adoption, for want of some regulations tending to counterbalance the restrictions laid on ours by some European nations, and the necessity now of taking some firm and decisive, yet moderate steps, read in his place, and laid on the table of the committee, the following resolutions:
Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that the interest of the United States would be promoted, by further restrictions and higher duties, in certain cases, on the manufactures and navigation of foreign nations, employed in the commerce of the United States, than those now imposed.
1. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that an additional duty ought to be laid on the following articles, manufactured by European nations, having no commercial treaty with the United States.
On all articles of which leather is the material of chief value; an additional duty of per centum, ad valorem.
On all manufactured iron, steel, tin, pewter, copper, brass, or articles of which either of these metals is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per centum ad valorem.
On all articles of which cotton is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per centum ad valorem.
On all cloths of which wool is the material of chief value, where the estimated value on which the duty is payable, is above an additional duty of per centum ad valorem; where such value is below , an additional duty of per centum ad valorem.
On all cloths of which hemp or flax is the material of chief value, and of which the estimated value on which the duty is payable, is below , an additional duty of per centum ad valorem.
On all manufactures of which silk is the material of chief value, an additional duty of per centum ad valorem.
2. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee that an additional duty of
per ton ought to be laid on the vessels belonging to nations having no commercial treaty with the United States.
3. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that the duty on vessels belonging to nations having commercial treaties with the United States ought to be reduced to per ton.
4. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee that where any nation may refuse to consider as vessels of the United States, the foreign built vessels of such nation, ought to be subjected to a like refusal, unless built within the United States.
5. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee that where any nation may refuse to admit the produce or manufactures of the United States unless in vessels belonging to the United States, or to admit them in vessels of the U. S. if last imported from any place not within the United States, a like restriction ought, after the day of to be extended to the produce and manufactures of such nation, and that, in the mean time, a duty of per ton extraordinary, ought to be imposed on vessels so importing any such produce or manufacture.
6. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that where any nation may refuse to the vessels of the United States a carriage of the produce or manufactures thereof, whilst such produce or manufactures are admitted by it in its own vessels, it would be just to make the restriction reciprocal; but inasmuch as such a measure, if suddenly adopted, might be particularly distressing in cases, merit the benevolent attention of the United States, it is expedient, for the present, that a tonnage extraordinary only of be imposed on the vessels so employed; and that all distilled spirits imported therein shall be subjected to an additional duty of one part of the existing duty.
7. Resolved, as the opinion of this committee, that provision ought to be made for liquidating and ascertaining the losses sustained by citizens of the United States, from the operation of particular regulations of any country contravening the law of nations, and that such losses be reimbursed, in the first instance, out of the additional duties on the manufactures, productions and vessels of the nation establishing such unlawful regulations.
Mr. Madison then took a general view of the probable effects which the adoption of some thing like the resolutions he had proposed, would produce. They would produce, re-
speaking many articles imported, a competition which would enable countries who do not now supply us with those articles, to do it, and would increase the encouragement to such as we can produce within ourselves. We should also obtain an equitable share in carrying our own produce; we should enter into the field of competition on equal terms, and enjoy the actual benefit of advantages which nature and the spirit of our people entitle us to.
MONDAY, JAN. 6.
ARMY BUSINESS.
The Bill for incorporating and supporting the Military establishment of the United States, was the subject of discussion this day.—A variety of amendments were made, and motions for many rejected.
The Committee of the whole having gone through the Bill, rose and reported it with one amendment, the bill was then laid on the table.
COMMON DEFENCE.
A motion was laid on the table, That the committee on the Algerine business should be instructed to report an estimate of the probable expense of fortifying the harbours and seaports of the United States; and also what addition ought to be made to supply the arsenals and magazines with arms and military stores.
Some private business concluded this day's sitting.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 22. Extract of a Letter.
BATTLE OF MAUBEUGE.
BRITISH ACCOUNT.
THE great and bloody battle which should have crowned all the former victories of the campaign, and from which we expected such brilliant success, was fought on the 15th and 16th inst. unfortunately to the disadvantage of the Combined Armies.
You will have seen what the government has thought fit to tell the public, in the official Bulletins. But the facts you may be assured, are such as I shall state.
The loss of our army is 5000 men killed and wounded, among whom are 115 officers. The Prince of Anhalt Kauthen, who commanded the dragoons of Cobourg, on the left, was struck down by a shot, and it is not known whether he fell dead or alive into the hands of the enemy.
It is now certain, that the defeat of the left wing of Prince Cobourg's army, commanded by Tertzand Hohenloe, was the principal cause of the loss of the battle, which obliged the Generals to retreat in the night, to avoid being precipitated into the Sambre.—The retreat was effected in good order, and the army is now encamped along the other side of the river, partly under cover of the fortresses of Quesnoy and Valenciennes.
The regiments of Brechianville, Stein, Kaunitz infantry, Kavanagh, Cobourg, Baco, Royal Allamande, cavalry, (a French regiment that came over with Dumourier) have suffered the most; that of Kavanagh had 213 men killed, and 180 wounded.—The loss of the other regiments was in the same proportion.
The French attacked us in all points at once, with from 70,000 to 80,000 men, commanded Gen. Jourdon; Gen. Dupont commanded their right,—Levassieur and Bentabole, the two Representatives of the People, appeared swords in hand at the head of their combatants, whom they animated with loud cries of exhortation, to advance, and as loudly menaced, when they seemed to hesitate. Behind their first line an immense number of women, without fear or disorder, supplied the soldiers with ammunition, distributed brandy among them, and carried off the wounded: Such were the means by which they obtained a victory over our brave and veteran troops.
The conduct of the Dutch troops in this action is strongly talked of. It is very confidently affirmed that Byland's dragoons fled outright, and left one of the flanks of the main-body, which they were stationed to cover, quite exposed, and that three whole companies went over to the enemy.
The English, who came up just as the battle was beginning, were not in a condition to display their accustomed valour and intrepidity. They were exhausted by the fatigues of a forced march of nine leagues. Their cavalry were so out of order, that they were unable to act.
The day before yesterday, 400 French prisoners, and 39 waggon loads of the wounded, arrived here. The night after, came a convoy of 52 wagons, with the wounded of the regi-
ments of Cobourg and Kaunitz: And yesterday morning 68 wagons, with the wounded of several other regiments. Where to lay these unfortunate victims of war we know not. All the hospitals and convents are already full. Lint, bandages, and attendants on the sick are advertised for. On Saturday last the general return of the Austrians wounded in the Pays Bays, was 6449.
The Prince of Saxe Cobourg writes in strong terms of the danger to which Austrian Flanders is now exposed; that without a reinforcement of 50,000 men at least, he cannot answer for maintaining his present position; that the enemy will be attacked in a few days; and that the French have augmented their army of the north to 170,000 men. He complains of the Dutch, and even of the English. The instant that troops arrive here they are sent to join the army; as are all the stores and ammunition, which arrive in quantities, almost incredible, from Holland.
On Saturday morning an officer arrived here with the important intelligence that General Wurfsinur, on the 19th, attacked the lines of Weissembourg, with the Austrians and Hessians; that after an action of eleven hours, the lines were forced, and the French camp behind them attacked by assault; that the Duke of Brunswick having turned their army, attacked them the same time in the rear; that the carnage was dreadful, more than 14,000 of the French and Austrians having fallen; that General Wurmsir took possession of Weissembourg and Lauterbourg and pursued the French to the gates of Strasburg: That 168 pieces of heavy cannon, all their baggage and ammunition, with 2000 prisoners were taken from the enemy.—The Austrians had 3500 men killed. The number of wounded is not yet ascertained.
We are assured that Landau has offered terms of capitulation which the Prussian General, who commands the siege, has refused; and that Strasburg will surrender on the first appearance of an army before it.
NIEUPORT, OCTOBER 23.
The attack which the Carmagnoles, (Republican troops) commenced yesterday upon our town, and which continued to-day, would certainly have reduced the place, but for the inundation, which though very unpromising at first, about five o'clock in the afternoon, began to succeed so well, that at six the whole flat country around the town was overflowed about two feet high, and we saw the Carmagnoles with a great deal of difficulty wading through the encircling flood. As the next tide, which comes in to-morrow morning about four, will raise it at least two feet higher, we are pretty sure that the Sans Culottes will move off during the night as quiet as possible; and we are in hopes that they will not be able to save their artillery, which, as far as we already know, consists of four 12 pounders, and four howitzers.
This attack was, no doubt a part of an extensive plan, concerted by the committee of public safety, to fall at one and the same time upon our whole chain of positions from Nieuport to Maubeuge; and if possible, to strike a grand and decisive blow before the end of the present campaign. As far as it concerns Furnes and Nieuport, it was executed in the following manner:
The Carmagnoles advanced yesterday morning in two columns against Furnes, the one from Hondschote on the cause-way, the other from Dunkirk, along the canal, which goes from this place to Furnes; each column consisted of about 3000 men. Our corps posted at Furnes was about 1200 men strong, but, strange to tell, had not one single cannon. Four companies of the Legion de la Chatre, who formed our advanced guard near Bullerskamp, fought with the greatest gallantry, and out of eight officers, five were wounded. The great superiority of the enemy in number and artillery obliged our troops about two o'clock to fall back. They retreated in good order to Scarbrock.—Our garrison was by this retrograde movement, increased to about 1000 men, but we had on our ramparts not one heavy cannon, and our whole artillery consisted of a few six pounders and field pieces.
The Sans Culottes made their appearance before our town yesterday evening, and began to erect a battery near the Pelican, and situated on the right side of the canal, about half a mile from Nieuport. We fired a few shot against the battery, but without effect. This morning, at half past nine o'clock, a French trumpeter arrived from the commanding General of the Carmagnoles, allowing our Commandant, the Hessian Col. Wurmb, a quarter of an hour to consider on his proposals to surrender. The answer was that the garrison were determined to defend themselves to the last extremity.
At twelve the cannonade began upon the town, and unfortunately the very first shell thrown into the place, fell into a hay loft near a distillery and set it in flames, which threw all the inhabitants into the utmost consternation. We returned the enemy's fire as well as we could, but, having no heavy cannon, seeing no possibility of saving the town by any other means, but that of inundating the surrounding country, the necessity of our situation forced us to adopt it.
A little after three o'clock the first sluice was opened, but with so little effect, that, despairing of success, our Commandant gave orders, that whilst the cannoners and a part of the garrison continued firing upon the enemy, the rest should begin to file off towards Ostend.
A great part of the garrison had already left the town, when about four o'clock, the opening of the second sluice, having been effected, the inundation answered our most sanguine expectation. The troops, which were on their march to Ostend, then received orders to return and an officer was sent to General Ainslie, with the important news of our unexpected relief; whilst from our ramparts we rejoiced to see the consternation and flight of the disappointed Carmagnole banditti wading to and fro through the encircling flood like so many ducks, without knowing on which side to effect their escape.
The subjoined copy of the summons sent us by the General of the Carmagnoles is taken from the original, and is highly worthy of the person who penned it:
To the Inhabitants of Nieuport, The 2d day of the 1st decade of the 2d month of the second year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
(This is October 23.)
"I summon you to surrender yourselves immediately to the victorious arms of the French Republic, before which every thing must yield; and that six citizens repair to my camp;—in failure of which, surrounded and attacked as you are both by sea and land, your town shall be laid waste, and I will enter it over the smouldering ashes of your houses, and the palpitating remains of your members.
"Let the example of Furnes be a warning to you not to rely on those who call themselves your defenders; and who calumniate us, because we beat them.
(Signed) "The General commanding the advanced guard of French Troops before Nieuport."
TOULON.
From the Camp under Ollioules, October 8, 1793. The enemy this night surprized one of our redoubts under the favor of treachery of some Marseillois, who deserted to them, and gave them the watch-word. The Corporal of the post having advanced, in order to receive the rallying word was killed; and the guard, who were asleep, have been massacred. Some companies of Marseillois discharged their fusils, which tended only to encrease the disorder and butchery, by firing upon the guard of our battery from some mills, which they took from the enemy.
The intrepid Chasseurs of Burgundy immediately advanced, on an assurance being given them that the post was re-taken. They were assailed by a shower of musketry, which they answered with courage; but were obliged to yield to numbers, after leaving sixteen killed and wounded upon the spot. In the number of the latter is the brave Malathie, a Captain, who, urged by his courage, has been taken prisoner. Several of our Marseillois fled to St. Nazaire.
This defeat is principally to be attributed to the grenadiers of Mont Blanc, who fled first.
The enemy seeing that it would be dangerous to remain much longer masters of the redoubt which they had surprized, spiked our cannon and mortars, the mountings of which they burnt, and retired.
ANDERNACH, Oct. 19.
An officer has this moment passed here, charged with dispatches to the Prince de Cobourg, containing an account of the surrender of Landau. He said that when he set out, Strasburgh was entering into a capitulation. We are assured that the French have retired to the environs of Colmar.
LONDON, Oct. 30.
Parliament is further prorogued to the 10th of December next.
The Flanders mail arrived this morning, and has done away all the reports that had been circulated of Ostend being in the hands of the French.
Mr. Mason, one of the King's Messengers, is arrived with dispatches from the Earl of Yarmouth, which contain the important information that Landau has surrendered to the Combined Armies, and that deputies from the municipality of Strasburgh, were then at Headquarters, stipulating the conditions on which that place should also be delivered up. The report of this courier adds, that in this quarter the armies were proceeding to victory, and they expected to be in immediate possession of all Alsace: The armies were divided into four bodies, under four different Generals, to make the attack on Fort Louis, and every other important fortress at one and the same time.
The news from the interior of France is of a more unpleasing nature. The Royalists in La Vendee have been again routed, and Chollet, and another place in the vicinity, taken by the Republicans.
Mr. Dressing, the Messenger, arrived also this morning, with dispatches from the Duke of

York, by which we learn, that the invasion of Flanders by the French, is happily and seasonably checked. His Royal Highness made a rapid march to the relief of the posts and encamped near Tournay. Bodies of troops are also on their march from the Prince of Cobourg, whose Head-Quarters are now at Bayay. We may, therefore, with confidence assure our readers, that Austrian Flanders is safe.
Mr. Mason came from the Head-Quarters of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, which he left on Saturday. These were then at Tournay. The Head-Quarters of Prince Saxe Cobourg at Bayay.
No general action had then taken place. Some skirmishes between the advanced parties of the two armies. It was supposed his Royal Highness would march to the relief of Ostend and Nieuport.
The French were still before Nieuport, on Sunday; and the place had been on fire in several places, but there was no doubt entertained of its being able to hold out till a reinforcement could be made to the garrison.
The movement of his Royal Highness would probably likewise induce the French, to abandon their design upon that place and Ostend.
Mr. Dressing brings intelligence from the Allied Army, on the Rhine, of the most agreeable nature. The siege of Straubourg was to commence on the 22d, and it was not expected the place would long hold out. Landau was in flames.
On the 22d, the French, having assembled in the neighbourhood of Lille, to the number of 8000 men, advanced with 20 pieces of cannon, to attack the Austrians at Willem, but after a brisk action of 3 hours they retired with loss.
All ideas of offensive operations seem to be given up on the part of the Allied Army, the Prince of Cobourg having retreated to Mons, which is to be his Head-Quarters for the winter; his Army being covered by the Fortresses of Conde, Quesnoy and Valenciennes.
Whitehall, October 22.
A letter from Sir James Murray, Adjutant-General to the forces under the command of the Duke of York, was received this evening by the Rt. Hon. Henry Dundas, his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, of which the following is a copy:
Engel Fontaine, Oct. 18, 1793.
SIR, I had the honor of informing you, in my last dispatch, that his Royal Highness, at the earnest request of the Prince of Cobourg, had marched with a part of the troops under his command for this place. They arrived here on the 16th. The Prince, being acquainted with his Royal Highness's intention, had been enabled to withdraw from thence four battalions to strengthen his other posts; a fifth battalion followed those upon his Royal Highness's arrival.
The enemy, having collected in extraordinary numbers, attacked the corps under the command of Gen. Clairfait, which was posted with its right near Berlemont, and its left near the village of Wattignies, upon the 15th and 16th. Upon the former day the left wing of the enemy was entirely defeated; having advanced into the plain which lay upon that side between the two armies, they were charged by the Imperial cavalry, and driven back, with great slaughter and the loss of twelve pieces of cannon. The attack which they made upon the left of the Austrians, was more obstinately supported; they were, however, finally repulsed.
Upon the 16th the enemy having drawn the greatest part of their force to the right, again attacked the left of Gen. Clairfait's corps, and the village of Wattignies.
They could upon this side approach within cannon shot of the Austrians, under cover of an immense wood, called the Have d'Avesnes; which when they were repulsed, secured their retreat; they brought a great quantity of heavy artillery to the edge of the wood, under the protection of which they attacked the village. The utmost firmness and bravery were displayed by the Austrian troops upon this occasion. The enemy were several times repulsed with great loss; they were repeatedly driven from the village after they had carried it; but being enabled by great superiority of numbers, to bring continually fresh troops to the point of attack, they at last succeeded in maintaining the possession of that post.
The communication between Gen. Clairfait's corps, and that of Gen. La Tour, which observed the entrenched camp near Maubeuge, being by this means cut off, it was judged necessary by the Prince of Cobourg to abandon the position which had been taken for the purpose of investing Maubeuge, the army passed the Sambre in the night without the smallest loss. Lieut. General Benzowsky, who commanded a detached corps upon the left of the army, defeated a corps which was opposed to him, killed a great number of the enemy, took 400 prisoners and 11 pieces of cannon. Count Haddick, who was detached by Gen. La Tour, likewise gained a considerable advantage, penetrated to Sorbe Chateau, and took three pieces of cannon.
In the two engagements, the Austrians took 24 pieces of cannon and two howitzers, without the loss of one on their part. They have had about two thousand men killed and wounded. There can be no doubt that the loss of the enemy has been much more considerable. The Austrians now occupy the left bank of the Sambre. No certain accounts have been yet received of the further motions of the enemy.

T O U L O N.
Advices, it is understood, have been received by Government from Toulon, on Tuesday last. The silence observed, with respect to their contents, seems rather to sustain the French accounts
of the unsuccessful sortie made by the garrison on the 17th, than the reports of a previous success, achieved as is stated chiefly by the Neapolitan troops. The drooping state of the funds in despite of the brilliant victory at Marchiennes gives an additional colour to the rumors in circulation, which we should be more happy to contradict, than to detail.
BATTLE OF MAUBEUGE.
FRENCH ACCOUNT,
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
OCTOBER 18.
The Minister of War transmitted the following letter from Citizen Jourdan, Commander in Chief of the army of the North.
Head-Quarters, Avesnes, Oct. 17.
"Citizen Minister, I yesterday received your dispatch in the field of battle. The right division, under the orders of General Duquesnoy, has forced the camp and the post of Wattignies which was impregnable, from its position; but nothing could resist the bayonet of the Republicans. The left division, under the command of General Formentin, has forced St. Waast, St. Remy, and St. Aubin.
"I this moment learn that the enemy has, during the night, evacuated the entrenched camp which they occupied upon the heights of Bouflers, without doubt because they feared being surrounded there. I am going to mount my horse, and hope to give you a good account. The battle lasted yesterday from eight in the morning till night. The enemy lost a great many men; the Republicans fought with unexampled courage.
The Representatives of the people, Carnot and Duquesnoy, marched at the head of the troops who charged. They cashiered on the field of battle the General of Brigade Gratien who having received orders to advance, beat a retreat; this act of justice has had a good effect, and the brigade at length retook its post.
"I have not time to give you fuller details; at the present moment it is more important to fight, than to write.
(Signed) "JOURDAN."
October 19.
Billaud Varennes, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, communicated the following letter.
Head-Quarters Maubeuge Oct. 17, the sixth day of the third decad, of the first month of the Republic, one and indivisible.
"The Representatives of the People of the army of the North, to the National Convention: "The Republican army has vanquished that of the Combined Despots, who have disappeared before it; and we have entered Maubeuge in the midst of the acclamations of the people and of the numerous garrison delivered by us. The battle lasted two successive days, from the break of day till night; we were ready to recommence it this morning, when our reconnoitring parties brought word that no enemies were to be seen. Our troops then took possession of their camp, which was strewed with carcasses."
"Never were more formidable dispositions made against any place. The entrenched camp which the enemy threw up with the greatest activity for 17 days, would have dismayed and discouraged any other than French and Republican troops."
"Cobourg thought his position so unattackable; that he said, "I own that the French are fierce Republicans, and I should become so myself, were they to drive me hence." Our brave fellows being told of this, the post was carried one hour afterwards. The enemy having united all their forces at this decisive moment, forced us for a minute to evacuate it; our soldiers drove them from it a second time; the enemy again retook it. The Republicans, indignant at so much resistance, charged with fixed bayonets, and came off victorious. The enemy fled with precipitation, and all their artillery would probably have fallen into our hands, if the garrison of Maubeuge could have been informed of what was passing on our side, and made a sortie at the same time that we attacked the enemy in front.
"The coup-d'œil of Gen. Jourdan in having beaten Cobourg, is the best eulogy of his talents; his patriotism is the theme of all his companions in arms. He was well seconded by the Generals under his command. You will, without doubt, again declare, that the army of the North have deserved well of their country."
"The enemy, in flying committed the most horrible devastations. They burnt almost all the villages—they revenged their disaster upon the unhappy country people. The law declares that they should be indemnified. This should be done as soon as possible; and we have provisionally placed the sum of 200,000 livres at the disposal of the district of Avesnes, in order to supply the principal wants of these victims of COBOURG's imperial and royal rage."
(Signed) Carnot, Duquesnoy, and Bar. Another letter from Gen. JOURDAN, confirmed the news of this victory. "The enemy lost 6000 men; we had only 200 killed and 1200 wounded."
"The Committee of Public Safety," added "Billaud de Varennes, has thought the army ought not to confine itself to the delivering of Maubeuge. It has written to the Representatives of the People, and to Gen. Jourdan, to pursue the enemy, and not to stop till the latter are entirely defeated."
FRANCE.
PARIS, November 1.
REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL.
The Tribunal, on the declaration of the jury, purporting that Brissot, Vergniaud, Genlonne,
Duprat, Valeze, Lehardi, Ducos, Boyer, Fonfrede, Boileau, Gardien, Duchatel, Sillery, Fauchet, Duperret, Lafou, Carra, Beauvais, Mainvielle, Antiboul, Vigee and Lacaze, are the authors of, or accomplices in a conspiracy which has existed against the unity and indivisibility of the Republic, against the liberty and safety of the French people:
Condemns the above named to the punishment of death; declares their property confiscated to the Republic; and orders that the sentence shall be executed in the Place de la Revolution, and that it shall be printed and posted up throughout the whole Republic.
Valaze stabbed himself after he heard his sentence. The tribunal ordered that the body of the suicide should be conveyed separately in a cart to the Place de la Revolution, to be afterwards interred in the same place with the bodies of the other persons condemned.
The execution took place yesterday, between eleven and twelve in the forenoon.
The sentence which sent to the scaffold twenty-one Representatives of the people, unfaithful to their mission, will form an epoch in the history of the French Revolution. Posterity will eagerly enquire into the particulars of this famous trial. They will wish to be informed respecting the last moments of these men, who, after having been the most zealous apostles of liberty, attempted afterwards to stifle it in its cradle. They will learn with all the horror which ought to be excited by the greatest of crimes, that these conspirators shewed on the scaffold all the sans froid of guilt; that even when under the fatal engine, they had in their mouths the sacrilegious exclamation of Vive la République . Duchatel, Ducos, Boyer, Fonfrede, and Lehardi, distinguished themselves by the firmness and intrepidity of their looks.
Brissot observed silence, but he seemed as if he still were meditating upon some plot.
Naturam expellas furca tamen usque recurret. Silery did not forget his part as a courtier. He saluted the people with much respect, and was accompanied by a confessor. The Prelate Fouchet died like a Bishop; he conversed very seriously with his confessor. Carra, the good friend of the Duke of York, died as he would have died at Macon, had not a heavier charge rescued him from the gallows. Lafou, a protestant minister, died like a grey friar, penitent. In short, thirty seven minutes were sufficient to strike off the heads of these criminals, and to dig a grave for federalism.
GERMANY.
VIENNA, October 19.
Lord Hervey, the British Ambassador at the court of Florence, has presented two memorials insisting upon the removal of M. la Flotte the pretended French minister. But these memorials not having produced the desired effect, his Lordship presented a third memorial on the 11th instant, and declared therein, that the British court, in concert with its allies, was determined to tolerate no longer the neutrality of the Grand Duke of Tuscany; and that his Royal Highness, unless he should give a categorical answer within the course of twelve hours from the delivery of the note presented by his Lordship, and communicate his resolutions before the expiration of that period, should be considered and dealt with as an enemy on the part of the allied maritime powers.
The Grand Duke having received this memorial, gave immediate orders for M. LA FLOTTE, the French resident, and his suite, to quit the peaceful Tuscan territories in all possible haste. The Republican agent obeyed these orders without delay.
The senate of Genoa has likewise received a strong memorial from the British Minister at that court.
The nature of the circumstances will probably afford to the Republic of Genoa no satisfaction for this violation of its territory: Had not the English recently intercepted two Genoese ships bound to Marfeilles, laden with gunpowder, there might have been some hopes of their obtaining satisfaction; but this act of supplying the common enemy, has inspired the allied maritime powers with the utmost disgust and indignation; satisfaction has been demanded of the Republic, which will be obliged to declare against the French regicides.
Venice will likewise be compelled to follow the example of the other powers.
The most serious preparations are making for a third campaign. Galicia alone will furnish 17,000 men.
The State of Hungary have offered a fresh army of 50,000 men to the Emperor.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 7.
Extract of a letter from Nantz, dated Sept. 29.
"The continual rise in the price of wines, brandies, soap, candles, hats, leather, hardware, cloths, merchandise of all sorts, and bread have obliged the Convention to prohibit the exportation of them, with a view to lessen the price and if possible, to raise that of the exchange; which has been as low as 4d s , a 7-8, on London. But to encourage the importation of corn, flour, naval stores, &c. the Convention have decreed, that all neutral vessels bringing corn, flour, naval stores, &c. into France, shall have the privilege to export the prohibited articles, ton for ton, which will yet give employ to a number of American vessels."
WORCESTER, January 16.
On Monday night last week the two eldest sons of Mr. Stephen Hall of Sutton, one about 21 the other about 14 years of age, were tending a coalpit, at some distance from their father's. A cabin, covered with combustibles was constructed to secure them from the cold, in which they were sleeping. By some means this took fire and was all in flames, when they awoke. Starting from sleep in surprise, they
rose up in the flame, and it was not until after repeated ineffectual attempts, that they were able to remove what secured the entrance, and to extricate themselves from the fire. Burnt in a shocking manner, they had to go 50 or 60 rods to a house, the oldest having his clothes almost entirely burnt from his body, his back badly burnt, his head, so as to be entirely blind, and his hands in such a manner, that the skin and nails were mostly off, and hanging loose: His case appears desperate. The situation of the youngest is more favorable.
N E W Y O R K, January 15.
We this day give a feast to every republican reader, under the foreign head of our Journal. These accounts were, in some measure, anticipated in our last—and the arrival of the ship Washington, on Sunday, has afforded us the pleasing realities. We now see (even by accounts of the friends of despots) that the retreat of Cobourg was really a glorious one—for France—and many of their wounded princes can, doubtless, show the coward's mark.
All the foreign arrivals, have had tedious passages—many of them have many passengers on board.
Private letters from various parts of Europe, by the late arrivals, state, that the Spaniards are completely defeated in their several posts, and are actually running out of France faster than they ran into it. That the French are every where victorious—[Without mentioning Weissembourg, which British accounts state against them.] The Convention have ordered several different armies to be before Toulon by the 1st of November [Some important accounts from which we may soon expect to hear.] That Sweden and Denmark have been threatened by the despots if they do not join the league, and no base means will be left untried to drag in the American states. That the British gold had cut out much work for the Convention, and produced many damnable treasons in France, but, thanks to their state of bankruptcy, these sources seem to fail, and they daily get rid of traitors. That the front of the frontier army is composed of young men from 18 to 25, who rush on, in spite of treason and cowardice in officers. That the King of Naples and the Duke of Tuscany have joined the league, but these are considered as nothing, 450,000 new troops having been raised. That riots in England increase, the great body of the people being more and more outraged at the war—that should not parliament soon make great concessions, the times will be serious, and the monarchy of Britain will shake, &c.
A terrible FIRE
Broke out at Baltimore, the 8th inst. about half past two o'clock in the morning, on the county wharf, all the buildings, on which, being of wood, became a prey to the sudden and irresistible fury of the flames, the violence and rapidity of which baffled the greatest exertions of the inhabitants to save that elegant three story brick store, the property of W m Smith, Esq. which with eight dwelling houses, and four ware houses, were entirely consumed, and a vast quantity of valuable country produce and furniture to a large amount.
The following are the names of the unfortunate sufferers:—James M c Allister, Jacob Brown, John Wall, John Moffet, Patrick Degun, Henry Lainhart, John Mullanphy, Richard Avenjon;
Who with their families are thus reduced to immediate want, and a scene of the most moving distress.
Among the property destroyed were 1,300 barrels of flour belonging to Mr. Jesse Hollingsworth, and 4000 bushels of corn, of Captain Yellot's. The whole of the losses sustained by this dreadful conflagration, are estimated at the lowest calculation, to amount to 15,000 or 20,000 pounds.
Substance of a letter from Have-de-Grace, October 16.
The whole nation is determined to receive laws from no foreign power. All persons suspected of aristocracy are taken up. Ninety members have been expelled the Convention, being suspected of royalism.
The exportation of all articles of first necessity is prohibited. Silk, and glass, &c. are free to be exported.
The Spanish forces have been beaten in every quarter; and the King of Sardinia is likely soon to be left without kingdom.
The whole energy of the Republic is directed against England, and preparations are making for a descent, for which 100,000 men are intended, and all merchant vessels in a state of requisition. 100 millions have been placed in the hands of the minister of marine for the construction of boats, carrying each four

24 pounders to cover the landing of the troops.
Toulon is blockaded by 70,000 men, and is expected to surrender.
The troubles of Vendee draw to an end.
A gentleman in this city has received a letter from Baltimore, dated January 3d, 1794, from which is translated the following passage.
"Capt's P——, of this place, have received news from their privateer, of the 20th of October, giving details of the affairs of Dunkirk. Our enemies have lost 30,000 men killed, and 15,000 prisoners. Toulon is re-taken, with seven English ships and four Spanish, and three thousand troops. Bread was worth only 3 sous, at Marseilles—the stores at Toulon are immense. Thirty-six French ships, and 16 frigates invest L'Amanche. A vessel arrived from Havre, announces that all is tranquil at that place."
BOSTON, January 20.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his friend in Philadelphia, dated 24th of October.
CITIZEN AND FRIEND, "The French in Flanders have obliged the Combined Armies under the command of Prince Cobourg and Gen. Clairfait, to raise the siege of Maubeuge, and recross the river Sambre. The army under Cobourg was about 80,000 men, of which, it is said he only lost 3000 men in his retreat; the number of Clairfait's army is not exactly known, but it is said between 30, and 40,000 men, of which he has lost a much more considerable number than Cobourg—This retreat is thought to be a greater disadvantage to the combined armies than that from Dunkirk. But the French in consequence of withdrawing a number of their best men from the army, against the King of Prussia, to assist Maubeuge, have had the lines of Weissenberg forced, and lost 30 pieces of cannon; but the situation of the country is such, that it is thought the armies must withdraw themselves in the winter."
From a London Paper of Nov. 9.
Letters from Barcelona were received by the last Corunna mail, which intimate strong apprehensions for the safety of the Spanish army in Roussillon. The French have risen in a most powerful mass in the adjoining provinces. The Representative of the People, Ferrand, wrote from Arrau to the Convention, as follows:—"We have repulsed the Spaniards on all points; we have carried fear and dismay into Arragon, as well as into Catalonia; we will raise the very basis of the throne of the Spanish tyrant; and I do not despair to see the tricolored flag hoisted upon the walls of Madrid in the course of next campaign."
Extract of a letter from Nantz, dated 16th October, 1793. To Captain JOSEPH MOLINERY, Philadelphia.
"I cannot give you better news than to tell you that the Republic is saved, in spite of the infamous treasons that are discovered every day. Custine was guillotined a month past; as well as several Generals who were in his plot. Never mind, it will go on and ca ira. The English have lost 10,000 men before Dunkirk. The Spaniards have lost their three camps close by Perpignan, and we are now in Catalonia. As to the King of Sardinia—we have only left him Piedmont; and he is now completely blocked up, all his treasure, cannon, ammunition, &c. &c. are taken. The city of Lyons is reduced to ashes, and 10,000 Royalists were massacred, after sustaining a siege of two months. There is only left the unfortunate Toulon, which is delivered into the hands of the English—But we have actually 160,000 men under its walls. As for the Royalists in La Vendee, it has become a very serious affair since you left this—On St. Peter's day we were attacked by 200,000 of them in every quarter of the city; we repulsed them with considerable loss; they passed the river—For these two months we have been continually harrying of them with 150,000 republican troops, and there are continually skirmishes between them and us; and it is to be hoped that at the end of this month they will be entirely reduced."
"All the navy and Merchant seamen are ordered to be in readiness; for we are disposed to make a descent in England; and there are appearances that the 180,000 men acting against the Royalists, will be of the expedition."
"Naples, and the Duke of Tuscany, have declared war against us, we will beat them and will never give them time to rally; we already see 450,000 men, which have lately been raised, and some are already on the frontiers; the rest will not be long behind them, all well equipt and armed, at the expence of the rich; and we are working hard to raise 40,000 more men and cavalry: All men who are in the State, from 18 to 25 are sent off first; and those from 25 to 45 will march afterwards, and are almost already equipt; all young men and widowers without children are obliged to march; and happy for us, the laws of our respectable Convention are well executed in all their formalities; all kinds of iron ware are melted down for cannon."
"Every month in the year is changed; no more Sundays; every month has thirty days; the weeks 10 days each; and each 10th day is consecrated to some revolutionary event; 400 merchants have been lately guillotined at Marseilles; the whole inhabitants are suspected of aristocracy; about a month ago they were ready to deliver themselves to the English, as well as Bourdeaux, but now we are all Patriots."
Messrs. Adams & Larkin, THE following extract of a letter from Messrs. Dorman and Co. of Lisbon, to John Hasley, Esq. of New-York, was received by the ship America, Capt. Geo. Bright, from Lisbon, a short time before the post left that city—As no letters by the said ship have yet reached this town, this extract may relieve the apprehensions of those persons who have navigation in the quarter from whence Capt. Bright came, and who are anxiously waiting the fate of it. Yours, &c. J. L.
LISBON, Nov. 2, 1793.
"Twelve or thirteen American vessels are now ready for sea in this port, and if the weather permits, will sail to-morrow WITH A CONVOY which the Portuguese government has granted at the solicitation of the American Consul, and in consequence of the peculiar circumstances of the case. In addition to the number of American vessels we have had come to our address, this fall—we have loaded, to accompany the convoy, the following:
Ships, America, Capt. Bright; Joseph, M c Lellan; Union, Kirquick; Lark, Munroe; Recovery, Hazard; Elizabeth, Bunbury.
"An English frigate has just arrived from Gibraltar, the Captain of which informs, that the Algerines have already captured eleven or twelve American vessels—and that he spoke a Xebec, which had just taken a remarkably handsome Philadelphia built ship of 300 tons, called the President. This intelligence, you will observe, comes from a rather suspicious source; and we doubt not the number is much exaggerated, as we have been endeavoring to learn the names of some of them, but without effect."
Great News.
BY THIS MORNING'S MAIL.
CHRONICLE OFFICE, (Bost.) JAN. 22. [A Hartford Paper this moment received by the Post, contains the following Intelligence, which we conceive it is our duty to communicate to an anxious Public.]
HARTFORD, JAN. 20, 1794.
A Gentleman from New-York has favored us with a Paper printed last Thursday Evening, from which we have copied the following very
Important Intelligence!
EXPRESS
Dispatched from Citizen GENET, at Philadelphia, to Citizen HAUTERIVE, at N. York.
"The DUKE OF YORK is taken, with his whole army; TOULON is re-taken, with every Ship in the Harbor. All this, my dear Fellow-Citizen, has been communicated to the Congress, not officially, but as certain: The Congress could not stay in their sitting—the whole People in Philadelphia are in the greatest joy; and compliments and salutations are coming to me from every part. It appears to me certain, that this News was brought in by the vessel sent to France by the President. Let our friends know this News—and let us cry out together, Vive la Republique! "
(Signed) GENET. (Copy) HAUTERIVE, Consul.
Some important blow was about to be struck by the French Republic, at the date of our European accounts: On the 15th Oct. the National Convention decreed the immense sum of 30,000,000 livres, to be at the disposal of the Marine Minister, to be employed in an important and secret expedition.
Among other victims to the Guillotine at Paris, is Gen. HOUCHARD, who commanded the French republican troops, that defeated the Duke of YORK's army, near Dunkirk.
In almost every action with the Spaniards, the French Republicans have been victorious; and about the middle of October, they actually entered the dominions of Spain, and had captured one of the Spanish towns.
In October, there were two or three riots at Birmingham and Liverpool—That, at the former place, was occasioned by the levying an execution against a person for taxes, incurred by the former Birmingham riot.—The latter we have not learnt. It is to these accounts, perhaps, that the reports lately in circulation, owe their origin.
CORSICA.
Part of the British Mediterranean fleet, at the request of PASCAL PAOLI, made an attack upon the tower and redoubt of Fornali, in the island of Corsica, garrisoned by the French, which did not succeed. The fire from the town and Citadel being too powerful for the fleet. Several of the British ships were much injured.
BARBARITY.
The following instance of inhumanity is recorded in Mr. CAREY's account of the Philadelphia fever:
"The wife of a man who lived in Walnut street, was seized with the malignant fever, and given over by the doctors. The husband abandoned her, and next night lay out of the house for fear of taking the infection. In the morning, taking it for granted from the very low state she had been in, that she was dead, he purchased a coffin for her; but on entering the house was surprised to see her much recovered. He took sick shortly after, and was buried in the very coffin which he had so precipitately bought for his wife, who is still living."
MARINE JOURNAL.
On Sunday last, arrived here, from Cadiz, the brig Rambler, Capt. Ripley, after a passage of 72 days. Capt. Ripley failed in company with the following vessels, viz. Sloop Abby, Ames, of this port, ship—, Capt. Butler, and brig—, Capt. Woods, of New-York; brig Fabius, Capt. Brown, brig—, M c Kean, and brig—, Gwin of Philadelphia; and several for Southern ports; under the convoy of a Spanish Squadron, consisting of one 64, a frigate, and an armed store-ship. Capt. Ripley left this Squadron 75 leagues S. W. of Cadiz; and in this public manner pays his tribute of respect to the Spanish Commodore, for his politeness and friendly conduct to the American vessels which failed with the Squadron; to whom he rendered every service in his power, and assured them, that he would defend them against any piratical cruizers.
Capt. Primrose, in the ship President, of Philadelphia, was captured by a four-gun galley, off Cape St. Vincents, and carried into Algiers.
Capt. Perry, in a ship belonging to Virginia, was chased into Faro, by an Algerine cruiser, which lay off the harbour two days, in fight of the fort.
In lat. 20, long. 61, spoke a schooner, Capt. Aaron Deale, from Newburyport, for St. Eufatia, out 25 days, all well.
Capt. Hand, of the brig Glasgow, arrived at New-London, from New-Providence, 23 days passage, left there Capt. Neice, in a schooner, and the brig Good-Hope, Shannic, of Newburyport.
Extract of a letter from London, dated Oct. 11. "This day, Lloyd's books say, that the American Hero, Captain Massey, from New-York, run on shore, at Gravesend. It is feared he will be lost.—Nov. 8. She was got off without much damage."
Died, In Newgate-Prison, in England, the famous Lord George Gordon.
SALEM, January 21.
Extract of a letter from a Merchant in London, to his Correspondent in this town.
Nov. 7.—"I make no doubt but that long before this you have heard of Toulon's surrender to the British arms, with all their men of war. This day we are informed of four seventy-fours arriving from there; 2 at Brest, 1 at Rochfort, and 1 at L'Orient; which I suppose are full of Republicans; but what makes our naval officers give up the 4 men of war, we are at a loss to account for. I think our Admiral will make a Boston voyage this year; that is, he will be obliged to leave Toulon as they did Brest; with the addition of the French men of war to his fleet. I think the most Christian Kings have not done what they expected. The French fight desperately; and their enemies have not advanced, I believe, 20 miles into France on any side."
Capt. Bright has arrived at New-York from Lisbon. He failed, with other Americans, the 3d Nov. under a Portuguese convoy, granted at the solicitation of the American Consul.
Yesterday arrived here from Bermuda, a vessel which had been carried in there by a privateer: she was acquitted; but the cargoes of several American vessels have been confiscated there, tho' the Judge of Admiralty acknowledged the property to be clearly American.
PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 25.
Arrived in this port on Tuesday evening last, the sloop Two Brothers, belonging to Beverly, Jonathan Batchelder, master, in 80 days from the Isle of May,—brings nothing new—spoke the brig Hope in lat. 40. 3. long. 61. Tassel, master, out six days from Biddeford for Surnam, lost part of his deck load the second day after failing—all hands well.
DIED.] At Boston, peacefully departed this life, after a lingering consumption, the spirit of Mrs. RUTH WIER, comfort of Captain Robert Wier, of that town. Nor could the most fervent prayers of all who knew her, sooth the dull cold ear of death—deaf to the cries of even her most tender connections, the insatiate archer flew all that was great, generous or good in woman. But, the pious foul, smiles at the stern tyrant, and defies his force. Religion, with a divine energy, kindly lent its aid, and pointed, with assurances full of immortality, to the merits of a propitiatory Saviour, and the rewards of a well spent life. Such were the consolations of the deceased—'till, bursting the bars of death, faith, we trust, was changed into the full fruition of the just made perfect.
"Why should we mourn departed friends,
"Or shake at death's alarms?
"'Tis but the voice which J'sus sends
"To call them to his arms."
Also, Mr. SAMUEL STILLMAN, second son of the Rev. Dr. Stillman, aged 22 years—In this town, since our last, Mr. REUBEN SNELL, aged 58.

ON GAMING.
ONCE let the breast this fatal passion seize, And avarice succeeds, by slow degrees, At her approach, true honesty withdraws; No more the judgment yields to reason's laws; A thousand cares the tortur'd soul molest; Nature no longer takes her wonted rest; So much the love of gold employs the mind, It leaves no trace of former worth behind. The heart that once could feel a social pain, Is lost to ev'ry pleasure, now, but gain: The cheated dupe, instructed by his wound, Learns to dispense the mischiefs he has found; Creeps, like a wretch, neglected to his grave, And, as he liv'd a fool, he dies a knave.
