LATEST European Intelligence.
SITUATION OF THE FRENCH AND PRUSSIAN ARMIES.
LONDON, Oct. 5.
We can at length relieve the Public from the suspense, in which they have been kept for some days, respecting the situation of the French and Prussian armies, as well as from the errors into which they have been led, by the bad intelligence transmitted to government.
The two armies, when these advices came away, on the 1st of the present month, were encamped at a small distance from each other; the head-quarters of the Prussians being at Hans , a village in Champagne; and those of the French at St. Munchould . Chalons was still occupied by the French; and all the bridges over the Marne had been destroyed, except that at Chalons.
About that time when the dispatches from Brussels to our Court stated that Dumourier's army was surrounded and treating for capitulation, the Duke of Brunswick was sending a flag of truce into the French camp, in order to bring about a parley, and if possible, an accommodation. To this step, the Duke appears to have been urged by an anxiety for the fate of the King and Royal Family, but still more, we believe, by the state of his army, which is very sickly, and in danger of starving.
A truce was agreed upon, for three days; and during this interval, a cartel was settled for the exchange of prisoners. Frequent communications passed between the two camps; and the language of the Duke of Brunswick became so greatly softened and so materially changed from the stile of his Manifesto, that he declared, if he could be assured of the personal safety of the King, and his restoration to any share in the government, suitable to his dignity of a Royal Personage, he would withdraw his troops, and his Prussian Majesty would become the Ally of France. The answer he received was, that the French Republic would not be dictated to by any power on earth; and that it would judge the King without being controuled by any foreign influence.
DECLARATION Of the DUKE of BRUNSWICK.
[READ TO THE FRENCH NATIONAL CONVENTION, BY M. BRISLOT.]
WHEN their Majesties, the EMPEROR and the KING of Prussia, in confiding to me the command of the armies which these two allied Sovereigns have caused to march into France, made me the organ of their in-
tentions, set forth in the two declarations of the 25th and 27th of July 1792, their Majesties were far from conceiving the possibility of those scenes of horror, which preceded and brought on the imprisonment of their Majesties, the King and Queen of France, and the Royal Family. [This gave rise to some murmurs.]
[M. BRISLOT here observed, that the only answer he should make to this manifesto, was that General DUMORIER, had it printed and distributed in his army; the good effects of which were found in the increased courage and provoked indignation of the soldiers. He proceeded in the reading of it.]
Such atrocious acts, of which nations in the least degree civilized have not yet shewn an example, were nevertheless not the extreme bounds, which the audacity of certain factious men, who had contrived to render the people of Paris the blind instruments of their will, had set to their guilty ambition.
The suppression of all the King's functions, which had been reserved to him by that very constitution, which has been so long cried up as the vow of the whole nation, was the last crime of the National Assembly, which has brought upon France the two dreadful scourges of war and anarchy.—[Fresh murmurs.]
[M. BRISLOT.—I request silence, if it be only through pity.]
To perpetuate these evils, there remained but one step to be taken, which could be dictated only by that mad spirit, the fatal fore-runner of the fall of Empires, which has seized upon those men who distinguish themselves by the title of Deputies of the Nation, chosen to confirm its rights and happiness, upon the most substantial basis. The first decree which they passed in their Assembly, was the abolition of royalty in France; and the senseless acclamation of a small number of individuals, of whom even several were strangers, claimed the right of overthrowing the judgment of fourteen generations who have filled the fourteen centuries of the existence of the French monarchy.
This proceeding at which the enemies of France alone should rejoice, if they supposed that it could have a lasting effect, is in direct opposition to the firm resolution, which their Majesties the Emperor and the King of Prussia have taken, and from which those two allied Sovereigns will never depart, to restore to his Most Christian Majesty his liberty, safety, and royal dignity, or to wreak a just and signal vengeance on those who shall dare any longer to violate or infringe upon them.
For these reasons, the undersigned declares to the French Nation in general, and to each
particular individual, that their Majesties, the Emperor and the King of Prussia, invariably attached to the principle of not meddling in the interior government of France ( a peal of laughter ) persist nevertheless to require, that his Most Christian Majesty, together with all the royal family, shall be immediately set at liberty by those who presume to keep them imprisoned. Their Majesties also insist, that the royal dignity in France shall be, without delay, re-established in the person of LOUIS the XVI. and his successors: ( another and louder burst of laughter ) And further, that this royal dignity shall be secured from any such affront in future.
If the French nation has not entirely lost sight of its true interests, and if, free in its resolutions, it is desirous of putting a stop quickly to all the calamities of a war, which exposes so many provinces to all the evils attendant upon the march of an army, it will not delay an instant to declare its opinion in favor of the peremptory demands which I make in the name of their Majesties the Emperor and the King of Prussia; and which, in case of a refusal, will inevitably draw down upon this kingdom, hitherto so flourishing, new and more terrible disasters.
The part which the French nation may take, in consequence of this declaration, will either extinguish or perpetuate the fatal effects of a calamitous war, by removing, in the suppression of royalty, the means of re-establishing and keeping up the ancient connexion between France and the powers of Europe; or may open the way, by negotiation, to the restoration of peace, order and tranquillity, which those who call themselves the depositaries of the national will, are the most interested to render as prompt as it is necessary to the kingdom.

AGREEABLE INTELLIGENCE.
ALBANY, Dec. 3.
Judge Hosmer of Ontario county, arrived in this city on Saturday last from the Genesee country, and has been so obliging as to communicate unto us the important and highly interesting intelligence of a TRUCE having been concluded between the hostile Indians and the United States on which we take the liberty of felicitating our countrymen.
He says, the chiefs of the Six Nations, lately reputed and commissioned by the President of the United States, on a mis-
sion to the hostile tribes, assembled in council at the Miami village are returned home, having happily succeeded in bringing about a cessation of arms between the said Indians and the United States—to continue until spring of 1793—and that, in the interim, they are ready and willing to enter into negotiations with commissioners, on the part of Congress, for bringing about and establishing a firm and lasting peace with the United States.
The said chiefs add, that the Indians at the council, contrary to their most sanguine expectations, received them with a great deal of cordiality—stiling them their elder brothers, and treating them as such in the most courteous and friendly manner; and that they paid every possible degree of respect and attention to the talks which were delivered them from the President of the United States.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 1.
We are informed that the ship Montgomery , Capt. BUNYAN , from London, bound to New-York, has been spoken with a few days ago upon the coast. Messrs. WIGNELL and Co. of the New Theatre, are said to be on board this vessel, and as the house is almost ready for their reception, the public will soon be gratified with a view of that elegant building, which is to be finished in the most handsome stile.

It is noticed in the Gazette of the United States, that Forty Thousand Shares have been subscribed to the stock of Insurance Company of North-America.
December 22. [THE EDITOR yesterday received from an obliging correspondent, in Dublin, intelligence to October 16th. —It states, That the Prussian army under the
Duke of BRUNSWICK, after having progressed into Champagne, was necessitated, from want of provisions, &c. to retreat towards Flanders—that the French army, under Gen. DUMOURIER, was closely pursuing it—and that the King of Prussia appeared desirous to make a separate peace, fearing an insurrection in his own dominions—and feeling resentment against the Emigrants for deceiving him, in respect to the disposition of the French nation:
That the army of the Rhine had gained a signal victory over a body of Hessians, [vide the particular account which follows.]
That Lisle continued besieged, but the garrison exhibited the most undaunted resolution, and measures were taking to succour it—That an act of treachery had been attempted in it—Some of the Municipality caused one of the gates to be opened, and admitted a few companies of Austrians, but the people discovered their design, and massacred the enemy, as well as the municipal officers:—
That Gen. MONTESQUIOU continued his conquests in Savoy, the complete subjugation of which he expected soon to accomplish. He had taken Chamberry, Montmellon, and Bellegrade:
That a French fleet of ten sail of the line, had failed to attack Nice:
That the National Convention was in the highest estimation—its decree universally approved of—that the supplies furnished for the war, were immense, the people unanimous in its support, the armies forming, almost incredible, and amongst which order and discipline were taking place of impetuosity and disregard to orders.]
LETTER READ IN THE NATIONAL CONVENTION, PARIS, Oct. 4.
From Gen. CUSTINE to Gen. BIRON. Head-Quarters General, at Spires, } September 30th, &c. }
"MY DEAR GENERAL, "YOU know, that agreeably to the plan you adopted, I was to attack Spires, in which there were 4000 Austrians, or troops of Mayence, and magazines said to be of some consequence. I wished to be able to execute this plan, as soon as the army I command was organized; but being prevented by bad weather, I took advantage of the first moment it was possible for me to march to collect my army at Landau. The roads, however, being spoilt by the rains, rendered my march very fatiguing; especially that of the body which I conducted, and which was destined to cut off the retreat of the enemy towards Worms. Having sat out at nine in the evening on the 29th, it was 2 o'clock next afternoon, when I arrived at the entrance of those roads which lead from Spires to Worms and Mannheim. I found the Austrians drawn up in order of battle before Spires, having on their right an eminence, which is above the gate that looks towards Worms, a ravine before them, and their left extended among some gardens surrounded with thick hedges.
"I did not hesitate a moment to attack them in this position, and directing against their line, a heavy fire of artillery, which protected my own line while forming.—I marched at the same time upon their left four battalions destined to take possession of the eminence which commanded them. They soon determined to retreat within the walls of the town. Having tried for a moment to force the gates by my cannon, I preferred, when I saw the ardour with which the troops were animated, the making an attempt to cut them down with hatchets. Having proposed this method, it was eagerly received. The first gate being demolished, and then that of the inner wall, the Austrians were repulsed in every quarter; but taking shelter in the houses, in which they formed port-holes, when our troops were engaged in the streets, the enemy commenced, a most terrible fire upon them.—As I, however, had taken the precaution to place at the head of the columns some borvitzers and eight pounders, I was enabled to rally my troops, who were at first a little intimidated; and soon after the Austrians thought of nothing but retreating.
Col. Houchard, who had been prevented by a great inundation from approaching the banks of the Rhine has been able to execute a commission I gave him with the regiment which he commands, and has taken 400 prisoners. I resolved to pursue the enemy to their retreat, and having come up with them at the Rhine, they laid down their arms.—When in Spires they amounted to more than 4000 men. Several colours, standards, cannon, borvitzers, and above 3000 prisoners have been taken in this expedition.—The Austrians lost, besides, a great number killed. The magazines, which we found here are immense. I cannot at present give you any details respecting them.—I must conclude my letter, for I am ready to drop down with hunger and fatigue, having been twenty-two hours on horseback, and the troops as long under arms. I cannot conclude this dispatch, without commending the firmness of the soldiers, the patience with which they supported the fatigues of so terrible a march, the discipline they observed, and the bravery they displayed. I am extremely happy in having this day seen the cause of liberty triumphant. It still adds to my pleasure that I have been able to moderate and check the fury of the soldiers. I have the satisfaction of saying that in a town, taken by storm, and where a firing took place in all the streets a single action has not been committed which I need to blush at.—[Loud applauses.]
PHILIP EQUALITY.—I can certify the truth of this, because I have in my hand a copy of it attested by Gen. Biron.
A secretary then read the following Letter from the Minister at War:
"CITIZEN PRESIDENT. I continue to announce to you successes in every quarter. I say, in every quarter, notwithstanding the afflicting details of what the inhabitants and garrison of Lisle suffer; for the courage and patriotism of that city must add to the glory of the French Nation, and the succours which have entered it, and the measures pursued by General LABOURDONNAIE may render the Republic easy respecting its fate. The retreat of the Prussians, which appears decided upon; the division which prevails between them and the Emigrants; the success obtained over the Hessians; the useful and brilliant successes obtained by Gen. CUSTINE. Such are the details contained in the extracts of letters, which I now transmit to you. The Convention will there see that we may now consider the triumph of Liberty and EQUALITY is almost certain. (Signed) "SERVAN."
