Conquest of SAVOY by the French.
PARIS, OCTOBER 15.
Letter from Gen. ANSELM, dated Nice; October 2.
CITIZEN MINISTER,
"On the 30th of September, I made dispositions for attacking the town and castle of Ville Franche, but learning that a part of the garrison had already evacuated the place, I immediately repaired thither with a body of troops. I sent the same summons to the Governor as I had done to that of Montalban, and found him equally pliable.
"The garrison consisted of 200 men, and was provided with an astonishing train of artillery, and abundance of provisions. By the new conquest I have got possession of a frigate, a corvet, all the naval stores, and above 100 pieces of most beautiful cannon. The ammunition of every kind daily increases, for we make new discoveries of some which had been concealed.
"The loss of the enemy is immense. They wanted nothing to have enabled them to sustain a long siege. I cannot as yet send you a particular account of the articles we have taken, they are so numerous. I shall send you some standards, which will be a testimony to the National Convention of my sentiments, and of those of the army which I command." ( Applauded. )
(Signed) "ANSELM, Commandant of the army on the Var."
Note of the Council of the Republic of Geneva.
CITIZENS,
"The choice which has been made of persons to act in the neighbourhood of our republic, in the name of the French Nation, persuades us that you will be interested in receiving observations from a free and Independent State, the ancient ally France, and which cannot, without the most serious apprehensions, see troops assembled on its frontiers, magazines of artillery and provisions formed, and in general such preparations made, as announce weighty expeditions. United for more than two centuries by the closest connection with their allies of the Helvetic Body to furnish each other with mutual assistance in cases of danger, we required from our Allies of Zurich and Berne such troops as were necessary for our safety, and these good and faithful friends made haste to comply with our confederal requisition. You are too enlightened and too just, Citizens, to see in this measure, any thing else than a precaution merely intended for our own preservation and which necessarily results from our strict alliance with the Helvetic nation. We think it our duty, therefore, Citizens, to declare to you, that being, as well as our Allies, resolved to persevere in the strictest neutrality, and that having, as well as our said Allies, no part either direct or indirect in any system of coalition whatever against the French Nation, our only view is to preserve that independence which has so long formed our happiness; and that, so far from thinking of offensive steps, there is no sacrifice which we are not determined to make, to preserve the valuable privileges handed down to us from our fathers.
"We doubt not, Citizens, of the French nation, that you will have satisfaction. Behold among us sentiments which honor avows, and which always characterise people really free. We, however, with that you may be more fully informed of our perfect sincerity in regard to France; and for this purpose we have sent to you our Prevot Counsellor of State, our well-beloved brother, begging that you will give entire belief to every thing that he has been charged to tell you on our part, and particularly to the assurances which he has been ordered to give you of our attachment to the French nation; and of the vows which we offer up for your Convention, and for your happiness.
We are, Citizens, your most obedient and most humble servants,
"The Syndics and Council of Geneva, PUCRAIS, Counsellor and Secretary of State, 8th Oct. 1792."
Club of Liberty and Equality at Chamberry.*
On the 26th of September, this Club was inaugurated in the presence of General MONTESQUIOU. An M. ALEXIS NICOU was the first President; at his request, M. DOPPET, a Lieutenant Colonel of the legion of the Albrogis, was appointed his Vice-President and interpreter of his sentiments.
M. MONTESQUIOU, who had been publickly addressed by the Vice-President, as representing the French Nation in that sitting, replied as follows:
GENTLEMEN,
My most delicious satisfaction is that of seeing you make your first progress in the career of liberty and equality, the only basis of social happiness, under the auspices of a generous nation, which here pursues only your tyrants. Wars of ambition are ended for us; and we bring you peace with arms in our hands. Dare to raise yourselves to the level of your destiny; that this commencing Assembly may be the birth place of a virtuous energy, and that the dread of despotism may perpetuate itself. If you are penetrated with the love of liberty, you will be free; and the best day of my life will be also the finest epoch of your history."
After expressing their approbation of this Address, the Society proceeded to form the regulations of its sittings.

Summons sent by General DILLON* to the Commandant of the Prussian troops at Verdun.
"Camp at Regret, Oct. 11.
"General DILLON, Commander of the French army now encamped under Verdun, proposes to the Commandant or his Prussian Majesty in the town and citadel of Verdun, to deliver up that place to him, and to evacuate it immediately, or in the course of a day. On these conditions the General assures him that he will not impede the retreat of the Prussian troops, and that he will even protect the removal of such sick as are in a condition to be transported. He informs the Commandant, that if he accepts this proposal, which tends to prevent the useless shedding of blood, he will avoid a close siege, which will otherwise be commenced this day. I send this to you by Lieutenant Colonel CHENETZ, my aid-de-camp, whom I have ordered to bring back your answer.
(Signed) "DILLON."
*Commander of Dumourier's army, in his absence to Paris, on business respecting the winter campaign.
Answer by the Prussian General COUBIRE.
"Verdun, Oct. 11.
"I am ordered by the King to inform you in answer to your summons, that to-morrow morning the 12th current, you will be put into possession of the gate of Secours, which shall be occupied jointly by the troops of the King and the French troops; that Verdun shall be completely evacuated on the 14th; and that the sick who are in a condition to be removed shall follow in carriages of the country which shall be paid for. On these articles I am authorised to agree to a capitulation." &c.
[It may here be added, that in consequence of this capitulation, the Prussians immediately evacuated Verdun, and pursued their retreat towards Longwi:—That DILLON would not listen to any terms proposed with respect to the inhabitants, the Austrians, or the Hessians; that all the patriots who had been imprisoned, were immediately released; that the Prussians surrendered 116,000 wt. of bread, and other provisions, which the Commissioners observe they were more willing to leave the French, than either the Austrians or Hessians; and that the sick left behind were taken care of, by the French, at the expense of the King of Prussia.]
Letter from Gen. CUSTINE.
"Head quarters General at Spires, Oct. 9, First year of the French Republic.
Citizen President,
"I have the honor of begging you to lay before the National Convention a general state of the provisions, ammunition and other stores which were found in the magazines of Spires and Worms, and on the right bank of the Rhine, belonging to the Austrians, all of which have been transported to Landau. Independently of these magazines, the army has lived in this post, and has carried away besides more than twelve days provisions.
"The number of prisoners taken on the 30th of September exceeds 3,000; the muskets amount to 3,400; we have besides 7 six pounders, and 2 howitzers of 5 and half inches, with their furniture. The articles which the enemy lost in passing the Rhine, are not included in this list.
"I have the honor, Citizen President, of informing the Convention of the amount of the contributions which I have exacted from the cities of Worms and Spires.
"Having received a false statement of the wealth of the Benedictines, I taxed them at 400,000 livres, of which they have been able to pay only about 60,000. I have forced myself, rendering homage to truth, to demand that a deduction of 340,000 may be allowed, as the income of these Monks is only 25,500 livres. I flatter myself that the Representatives of the Nation will approve the indemnity I have granted in favour of the indigent class of the citizens of Spires: I thot' that by leaving no unfortunate person reason to complain of the advantages which we have gained, I should only second the wishes of the Representatives of the People, and of the whole Nation. My object has been to make the French name be blessed by all the people whose happiness our Constitution must complete.
"I add also to my letter, Citizen President, the copy of a PROCLAMATION, which I dispersed, in the name of the nation, in the cities of Worms and Spires. About a million of the contribution imposed has been already received; for the rest I have sent hostages to Landau: And though the Archbishop of Mentz considers himself discharged from his contribution, as Bishop of Worms, without paying it, I think I can assure you, that I shall find means to compel this irascible priest, who is a declared enemy to our laws, to pay his proper quota.
"Be assured, Citizen President, that my happiness will not be complete, until I have seen triumphant the cause of Liberty, of my Country, and of all nations. (Signed) CUSTINE."
PROCLAMATION.
"Head-Quarters-General, at Spires, Oct. 9, 1792, &c."
"Citizens, on quitting this City, after having driven from it, or carried away the fattelites of despots, the enemies of French Liberty, and having removed those means of subsistence which might have served to support other enemies of France, I think it a duty I owe to the generosity of the French nation, and to that protection which it holds forth to all the unfortunate, to indemnify, in the fullest manner the inhabitants, for the damages which they may have sustained during the first moments of that disorder which is always inseparable from the confusion and impetuosity of a numerous army that takes a town by storm. I therefore inform you, Citizens, that I am going to deposit, in the hands of the Treasurer of the army at Landau, the sum of 5,000 florins, to make good the losses which the inhabitants may have sustained during the residence of the French army in the town, according to the statement which you may transmit to the said Treasurer of the French army.
(Signed) CUSTINE," &c.
Proclamation by General CUSTINE, to the Citizens of Worms.
"Head-Quarters-General at Spires, Oct. 8, 1792."
"The contributions which I have been obliged to demand from your city, have been imposed in such a manner as to make the expenses of the war fall upon the enemies of our liberty; on those men who have declared openly in favor of the Emigrants, traitors who have preferred exciting all the Despots of the Empire to attack our Constitution, to the noble title of Citizen, the only title with which the French wish to be honored at present. The Representatives of the French people are not astonished to see those men who direct nations according to their arbitrary will, revolt at the idea of the re-establishment of the rights of nations, but that the servants of the people, unfaithful to their trust, should have employed that authority which they derive from them, to protect and serve the cause of men armed to oppress them, is what has provoked the just resentment of the French people.
"The war which we carry on at present, very different from those which have been hitherto carried on, is directed only against these usurpers of power, and not against the people.
"Your Magistrates alone ought to pay the contribution which has been imposed upon your city. Such is the intention of the Representatives of the French Nation. Should the case be otherwise, this injustice, on the part of your Magistrates would still add to their criminality in granting protection to our Emigrants. War against the palaces of usurpers, peace to the humble cottage, and to just men: Such is the manifesto of the French Nation. (Signed) "CUSTINE," &c.
The convention decreed that they approved of the measures adopted by General CUSTINE respecting the contributions raised on Spires and Worms.
LONDON, October 20.
It was declared yesterday, that DILLON had appeared with great force before Verdun, and demanded a surrender of the town to the arms of the Republic, and that instead of resisting this requisition, the enemy had actually agreed to evacuate the place which is now reported to be in the hands of the French.
According to other rumours equally current, the King of Prussia has separated from the views of his Austrian Ally, and has entered into an amicable treaty with the French.
The democratic flame, it is said, has spread over Brussels, where a popular rising has taken place, and the authority of the Emperor is totally thrown off.
Among the other flying rumours, it is asserted also, that the Elector of Cologne has been ARRESTED at Coblenz by his subjects, on account of the debts contracted by the EMIGRANTS. These debts are stated as enormous, and as the Emigrants are wholly without means to discharge them, the Elector has been seized for indemnity, as he thought proper to admit them into his territories.
The Elector was sitting off for one of his country palaces, when his subjects, in the true spirit of the RIGHTS OF MAN, changed obedience into rebellion.
The Duke of DEUX PONTS, yielding to the late success of the French arms, has determined to acknowledge the agent of the French Republic, and the day is fixed for his audience.
Oct. 22. A separate truce, it was said, had taken place, between the French and Prussians, by which the latter are permitted to retire from France, watched, but not injured.
The result of every enquiry concerning the conduct of the Emperor and the King of Prussia, towards the French, is this—If they had never taken up the cause of Monarchy in France, the French Revolution would have existed for that country alone; their interference has given it extension and connection, of which it is now impossible to prescribe the bounds.

LEIDEN, Oct. 11. The Editor of the Gazette, after giving an account of the communication from Dumourier to M. Servan, relative to the retreat of Brunswick, adds, "From the route that part of the retreating forces have taken in their march, it is probable, that they will fall in with General Custine, at present master of that part of Germany which is on the Rhine from Spire towards Metz. The accounts we receive are perhaps exaggerated; but it is certain, that the fate of war has been very adverse to the allied powers."
Domestic Intelligence.
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 15:  Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Fort-Washington, to his friend in this place, dated Nov. 14, 1792. "On the morning of the 6th inst. the Indians attacked the militia horse under the walls of fort St. Clair, where they had halted on their return from Fort-Jefferson, to which place they had escorted and safely deposited a large quantity of Quarter-Master and Contractors stores—The attack was made a little after day light, the militia at first gave way, but their gallant commander Major Adair, soon rallied them, and with 45 men stood opposed to 150 Indians for near two hours. The Indians having the advantage of numbers took off 75 militia horses, and 119 Quarter-Master and Contractors horses. "Capt. HAYLE and six men were killed and as many wounded—only two were scalped. Two Indians were killed and several wounded."
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 19. M. Blanchard, the famous aeronaut, we hear, intends to entertain the public shortly with an aerial excursion, should sufficient encouragement be given to defray the expense.
Yesterday fifteen Chiefs and three Princesses of the Wabash nation of Indians arrived in this town on a visit to the President of the United States. On this occasion a salute was fired on the common by the artillery.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 28. A correspondent expresses his satisfaction at seeing the joyful spirit of patriotism pervade the breasts of the good people of this city, yesterday, on the happy NEWS of the RETREAT of PRUSSIA and BRUNSWICK, before the French commanders.—Early in the morning the bells of the different churches commenced ringing, which was continued at different intervals throughout the day, and in the evening the Tammany Society met to celebrate the occasion;—The Wigwam was brilliantly illuminated, and several patriotic paintings exhibited to public view.
Extract of a letter from Richmond, dated December 16, 1792. "A letter from A. Campbell, dated 10th inst. gives information that a Capt. Hanly, from a Southern Territory, on his march with 40 men, to the relief of Vero districts, was attacked by the Indians in ambush—Himself and 12 fell on the spot—11 missing—16 have got safe in, &c."
December 26. A Charleston Paper of Dec. 3 says—On Saturday arrived here, the Schooner Charlottee, Capt. Schenk, in three days
from St. Mary's. Capt. Schenk informs, that the Commissioners had concluded a Treaty with the Creek Indians, to the mutual satisfaction of both parties, and that the Commissioners set out on Tuesday last, to run the boundary line. By accounts from Pittsburgh, it appears, that the Indians, with whom Gen. Putnam had made a Treaty had arrived at Legion-ville, the winter quarters of the army under the command of Gen. Wayne.
BOSTON, January 5.  Mercantile Intelligence.
Mr. Fenwick, Consul of the U. States at Bourdeaux, informs the Secretary of State, That it was decreed, the 6th instant, that, after the first day of October, all tobacco's that were subject to a duty of 18l. 15s. pr. ct. should pay 10l. pr. ct. and such as paid 25l. pr. ct. duty, should pay 12l. All other tobacco of whatever country, should be admitted on paying a duty of 15l. per quintal. Thus American tobacco stands favoured in the duty 5l. pr. ct. imported in French vessels, and 3 livres if imported in American bottoms direct from America.
"The administrators of the impost have given general orders to the directors of the custom-houses, to admit no merchandise or productions whatever to the payment of the duties without a certificate of their origin. This certificate must be from the French consul in the port of the expedition, or in case there should be no consul by a notary or justice of the peace."
"This information is interesting to the merchants throughout the United States." A Cadiz paper mentions, that a commercial treaty is certainly negotiating between the Court of Madrid, and the United States of America; and many of the Cadiz merchants were in high spirits, in the hope, that it must prove highly beneficial, not only to their country in general, but to themselves in particular.
THE PALACE  Building at Philadelphia, for the residence of the President of the United States, until the year 1800, has already cost 11,000l. and to complete it, the Commissioners for building it, report, that 10,000l. is yet requisite.
The Capital Stock of the Insurance Company of North America (at Philad.) amounting to 600,000 dollars, was completed the 13th ult.
January 7. A late Jamaica paper, contains the following Paragraph, "The almost unparalleled glut of American flour, biscuit, and corn is such in this town, at the present moment, that the importers are necessitated to dispose of these commodities at a rate far under the first cost. Corn, in particular, was purchased yesterday, in quantities, at the very low rate of 2s. 6d. per bushel." (About 2/5 L. M.)
Wednesday next, at Ten o'clock, is the Day fixed for M. Blanchard's 45th ascension in his Balloon, from the Prison Court, Philadelphia—Price of Tickets, Five Dollars.
MARINE NEWS.
Captain Newman, of Newburyport, in a brig owned by Messrs. Smith and Pettigell, was overtaken by a violent storm, three days after sailing; in which the brig overset, filled with water and be and five of the hands perished—only the mate and boy survived, who, after severe sufferings, were taken from the wreck ten days after, by a vessel bound to an Eastern port, from whence they arrived home in safety.
SALE M, January 1.  The manufacture of Sail-Cloth "is fast extending, much to the benefit of this country. Besides the Manufactories in this town and Boston, another has lately begun to work at Nantucket; and some gentlemen in Newport have contracted with the ingenious Mr. Killam, of this town, for a spinning jenny, for a manufactory of that kind, on the plan of that which he made for the manufactory here."
