The Friends of Literature are to be found every where, and when its cause can be served, and a good chance for personal emolument at the same time presents itself, this double inducement, it is conceived must operate in favour of the Lottery.
THE Managers of this Lottery had the conducting of the late State Lottery—the public will do them the justice to say, that the strictest punctuality as to the time fixed for drawing, and in the payment of Prizes, was observed by them in that Lottery—they pledge themselves for the same punctuality in this.

Foreign Intelligence
[By the Latest arrivals on the Continent.]
LONDON, July 11.
Our success on the 6th was much less than we at first imagined, and was followed by a complete reverse next day. On the 7th, the French returned to the charge, and carried our formidable posts in the forest of Soignies by the bayonet. The Prince of Cobourg, after losing 7000 men, and finding it impossible to repel the enemy, ordered a retreat, which was executed in good order through Brussels and its environs, in the night between the 7th and 8th. He had previously directed the magistrates of Brussels to enjoin the unarmed inhabitants, under pain of death, to confine themselves to their houses, with their doors and windows shut, during his retreat. The citizen volunteers maintained a strict guard to prevent disorder or plunder, till the arrival of the French, who entered at one gate, as the rear of the Austrians was going out at the opposite.
Since yesterday morning more than 15 boats and 200 waggons have come in laden with fugitives and their effects from the city of Namur. These fugitives concur in assuring us, that Gen. Beaulieu has evacuated not only the city, but the citadel, after all the expence bestowed in fortifying it; and that the French will certainly enter both to-morrow. They say, moreover, that more than 20,000 persons, attempting to make their escape from the county of Namur, are detained in Liege, for want of means of conveyance; and that the French are expected at Liege this very evening.
July 15.
The Duke of York is coming home. It is said, 20,000 troops, in the pay of G. Britain, will remain to assist in the defence of Holland.
It is understood that the siege of Sluys, in Dutch Flanders, has recommenced with redoubled vigour, and that the place is as vigorously defended. It is completely on the side on which the attack is made.
Nieuport, it is now confirmed beyond farther doubt, has surrendered; the garrison, prisoners of war, are sent to Lisle.
Liege is almost wholly deserted. All the nobles and clergy have fled towards Germany, and the religious have quitted their convents. More than four hundred boats, loaded with the most valuable property in the town, had dropped down the Meuse, and the utmost consternation prevailed.
A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 19th inst., has the following passage:—So great is the apprehension of an insurrection in this city, that a body of 600 hussars have been sent for, and more are expected.
By letters of the 18th ult. from Warsaw, the combined Prussian and Russian armies are approaching that place in all directions; and Kosciosko, with immense loss on the part of the insurgents, cut his way thro' the Russians and Prussians, who would otherwise have entirely cut him off.
Extract of a letter from Maestricht, dated July 9, 1794.
It was, we are told, by the Emperor's express orders communicated to the Prince of Cobourg, by Count Metternich, that the Combined Armies were to evacuate the Netherlands, as soon as Ypres and Charleroi were taken by the enemy. Every body says, and there are strong grounds for believing, that it was a thing agreed upon between the Emperor and the French Committee of Public Safety. Count Metternich does not seem to deny that it was; but how can such an arrangement be reconciled with the bloody battle of Sunday last?
It is rumoured that the Emperor, disgusted by the conduct of some of the Allies, and provoked by the obstinacy of the States of Brabant and Flanders, offered to the French Republicans the evacuation of the Austrian Netherlands as the price of a separate peace, which they accepted.
JULY 19. SUMMONS OF THE FRENCH GENERAL TO THE GOVERNOR OF SLUYS.
SIR, The Division of the French army under your walls informs you of the intention of the Republic, with regard to the town under your command. I think it my duty, acting on the principles of humanity and loyalty, the guide of Republicans, to lay before you the example of Ypres, Charleroi, and Ostend; Nieuport in flames; the defeat of the Imperial troops; the victory of Fleurus; the capture of Mons, Ghent, Tourney, Bruges, &c. ought to determine you for the good of your country, to deliver up the place you command, and to send me hostages to treat with, on terms, which will prevent misfortunes unavoidable from the ardour and courage of the Republicans I have the honor to command. I will wait for your answer, and hope you will not hesitate to take the course which alone can prevent the violent measures in my power, and which I shall not delay employing.
(Signed) ALMAIN. ANSWER.
SIR, The honor of defending a place like Sluys, that of commanding a brave garrison, and the confidence they repose in me, are my answer. (Signed) W. H. VANDER DUGN. Major-General.
JULY 21. On Saturday morning Earl Spencer, now Lord Privy Seal, accompanied by the Hon. Thomas Grenville, set off on a mission to the Emperor. It is certainly an object of great national consequence that can thus have occasioned a Cabinet Minister to be employed as
the Commissioner of Great-Britain. Various speculations are entertained. It is said that our Court, understanding that a negotiation is actually on foot for a separate peace between the Emperor and the French, have thought it to send the Lord Privy Seal to endeavor to prevent this calamity. By others it is thought that the utmost object of the mission is to engage, if possible, the Emperor still to co-operate with the English in defending Holland, as he is now unequivocally withdrawing his troops altogether from the Low Countries.
To whatever object this mission really applies, the eyes of Englishmen will be fixed on the issue of the negotiation, since, no doubt, upon its success will depend the further continuance of the war, unless we are resolved to persevere at the risk of every thing the nearest and dearest to us. It is certain, that the object of the noble Earl can only be obtained by extending our magnificent system of subsidizing to the Emperor, and then we shall be in the situation of not having one single Ally in the crusade, (upon the success of which the peace and security of all Europe are said to depend,) whose expences we do not sustain on the occasion.
JULY 22. A merchant arrived on Saturday from Amsterdam, which he left on Thursday last. By him we have a positive confirmation, that the States-General had held an Extraordinary Sitting two days; the avowed object of their deliberations were to enter into a TREATY OF PEACE WITH FRANCE, which, if impeded by England, would be negotiated separately.
Letters from Cologne state, that accounts had been received there, that Namur had been evacuated by the Austrians, on the 8th, and that the French had entered that town on the 9th inst. The head quarters of the Austrians was transferred on that day to Tirlemont and St. Tron.
JULY 25. FIRE AT RATCLIFFE.
Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, a most dreadful fire broke out at a barge builder's Mr. Clove's Stone-stairs, occasioned by the boiling over of a pitch kettle, that stood under his warehouse, which was consumed in a very short time. It then communicated to a barge, it being low water, lying adjoining the premises, laden with salt petre and other stores. This occasioned the conflagration to spread widely in a very short time. Several other vessels and small craft, lying near the barge, soon after took fire, without any possibility of getting them off. The blowing up of the salt petre, from the barge, occasioned large flakes of fire to fall on the warehouses belonging to the East India company, from whence the salt petre was removed to the Tower (20 tons of which had been fortunately taken the preceding day.)
When the fire communicated with the East India warehouse, the seamen discontinued their exertions, and prudently withdrew from the threatening scene, as did also, by their advice, the nearer neighbours. Soon after, the combustible matter contained in the building, blew up, with an explosion that could only be likened to the bursting of a volcano, and which had the effect upon the surrounding houses, as far as Lime house, Tower hill and Mile end, of the shock of an earthquake: those immediately adjoining were unroofed.
The conflagration now spread in every direction, and was greatly increased by the wind, which towards evening, blew very fresh, and all that followed was "confusion worse confounded" by the impotent efforts which were made to oppose what had so completely obtained the mastery; till at length, it may be fairly said, the fire ceased for want of materials to consume, having reached an open space of ground, where the connexion of perishable substances was broken.
It was at the farther extremity of Mr. Shakespeare's Ropewalk that it stopped.
It is not yet possible to ascertain the number of houses demolished; the whole extent of ground from above Stone-stairs, to Ratcliff-croft, and from the water side, to Stepney-causway, is covered with one confused mass of smoking ruins. Where the different streets ran, cannot be traced. Some accounts suppose so many as a thousand buildings of different descriptions destroyed; there cannot be so few as five hundred; among the principal of these were the above India company's salt-petre warehouse, a large sugar house, a glass manufactory, a lighter builder's, and all the warehouses which extended along shore. A ship destroyed, on account of her being aground at low water, was a Barbadoes vessel.
The dawn of day presented a scene most distressing to the feeling mind; all the surrounding fields were covered with houseless poor families, that had with difficulty saved sufficient to cover them; decapitated old men and women, unprotected wives and famished infants! What a subject for the exercise of that charity so characteristic to Britons!
The loss sustained, in consequence of the above dreadful catastrophe, cannot at present be even guessed at: it must exceed a million sterling!
That some idea may be formed, the warehouses of Mr. Whiting contained sugars to the amount of upwards of 40,000. which were entirely destroyed.
A survey was yesterday afternoon taken by the wardens and other officers of the Hamlet, whose report was, that out of 1200 houses, of which the Hamlet consisted, no more than 570 were preserved.
WHITEHALL, July 19. A letter, of which the following is an extract, dated Contyck, July 15, 1794, has been received from his Royal Highness the Duke of York,
by the Right Hon. HENRY DUNDAS, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State.
On Saturday afternoon, the enemy attacked all the out-posts occupied by my advanced corps in front of the canal leading from Brussels to Antwerp, and being greatly superior in numbers, drove them into the town of Malines, upon which place they likewise fired; but upon a reinforcement arriving, under the command of the Earl of Moira, the enemy fell back with some loss.
This morning, however, they renewed the attack, and having succeeded in obliging the posts on the left of Malines, to abandon the canal, and retreat from the Dyle. Lieutenant-General DALWIG, thought himself obliged to fall back to Welheim, where he has taken up a position to cover that part of the river. I have detached Lord MOIRA, to take possession of the village of Duffel, upon his left; and General WALLMODEN, with the Hanoverians, is at Lier.
From our Correspondent at Antwerp, July 13. On the city of Antwerp the allied generals very properly place but little reliance. A great majority of the inhabitants are in fact so disaffected to the general cause, that in case of a siege it could not be expected to hold out three days. The line of defence is therefore to be withdrawn to the Dutch frontier.
At Bergen-op-Zoom, at Breda, at Maestricht, and at Bois-le-Duc, the most positive orders have been issued, that all strangers shall immediately withdraw themselves from those places, and that every inhabitant shall immediately supply himself with six months provisions. Bois-le-Duc, we have just now learned, is completely inundated.
In what proportion the British troops are to act upon this line is probably as yet unsettled.
The rumour still prevails in the camp, that a part of them is to return to England. It is decidedly the intent of Great-Britain, that Holland should be protected. The aid which England affords must therefore be set down to her policy and not to her gratitude. If she were to proportion her efforts either to the kindness or co-operation which she has lately received from her allies, there would not be at this hour a single British soldier remaining on the continent.
DEAL, July 17. I have this moment read a letter from Antwerp, which accompanied a valuable deposit from an inhabitant to his friend here, in which he says, the French are within ten miles of that place, which is to be evacuated.
Private letters from Amsterdam assert, that the French have taken Namur. It was also reported at Amsterdam, on the 15th inst., that they had taken Liege.
From VIENNA, July 2. Immediately after the return of the Emperor to Vienna, the Russian Ambassador was admitted to an audience; and I am able now to acquaint you, with certainty, of the object of that interview.
Her Imperial Majesty, in concert with her ally the King of Prussia, has made to our august Sovereign proposals, which, if acceded to, cannot fail to produce a very interesting change in the aspect of European politics.
The propositions were. 1. That the Emperor should forthwith WITHDRAW ALL HIS TROOPS FROM THE LOW COUNTRIES, and give up those refractory Provinces, from which he could draw neither men nor money, to the destiny they deserved.
2. That his armies should be employed in maintaining a strong cordon, on the Rhine, so as to protect Germany, from an invasion of the French.
3. That the Emperor would be indemnified by the re-union of Bavaria to his dominions, which they undertook to guarantee to him; as also by a slice of Poland, of which they were now resolved to make a partition.
It was added, that this was not a simple invitation on the part of the Allied Powers; but they required a categorical answer, which, if not satisfactory, they were determined to abandon him.
It was followed by declarations immediately presented to our Ministers; and we are all anxiety to know what resolution our Court will take, in consequence of an extraordinary Council of the Cabinet, at which the Emperor presided, to deliberate on this subject.
DOVER, July 21. A large fleet of Dutch homeward bound West-India-men, passed by this morning, with a fair wind for Holland, under convoy of two frigates. The men of war and several of the merchantmen lay too, and made a signal for pilots, who went on board.
CLEVES, July 5.
Accounts received here from Brussels, state, that in consequence of the unexpected progress of the French armies during the present campaign, it was expected that a cessation of hostilities will soon be concluded between the Generals of the Belligerent Powers. A Congress for a Treaty of Peace to be entered into, will be held at Maestricht. The preliminary article of this Treaty will be, that each Power at war return to the other all the conquests made during the present hostilities.
Letters have been received at Frankfort from Leghorn, mentioning the resolution of the Court of Madrid, to secede from the league of the combined powers, and to acknowledge the French Republic.
HAGUE, July 9. On Sunday last an extraordinary meeting of the Council of State was called. The Stadtholder attended both this and another held on
Monday; on which day he also went to the meeting of the States General.
The approach of the French army to our frontiers calls for extraordinary measures, and orders were given in consequence. The environs of Bois-le-Duc are to be inundated; the inhabitants have been directed to get in their harvest and provide themselves with provisions as soon as possible; as have also the inhabitants of Bergen-op-Zoom and Maestricht, from which all strangers are ordered to withdraw.
According to advices from Zealand, Sluys in Flanders is besieged, and a body of the enemy has advanced to Sas-de-Gand.
With respect to the action of the 6th, in which the Dutch troops had a principal share, we are informed that the French were twice repulsed; but that they returned to the charge a third time; and that the Allies were under the necessity of retreating.
PARIS, July 5.
Cambon announced yesterday, in the National Convention, that by the operations of the Committee of Finance, the transcription of the public debt into the great book being completed, the number of public creditors was reduced from 650,000 to 90,000, and that the payments on the first quarter would begin within twenty days; that measures had been taken which would effectually prevent the nation's being defrauded of the property of Emigrants and persons convicted of treason; and that the six milliards of livres, (milliard is 1,000 millions) of which the Abbe Maury used constantly to talk, were reduced to two milliards.
He concluded with proposing a decree for regulating the payments on this debt, which was adopted.
FRANCE, NATIONAL CONVENTION. 15 MESSIDOR, July 3.
BARRERE, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety—Citizens, victory continues to be faithful to liberty. West-Flanders and Belgium are still the theatre of our triumphs, and the department of Jemappes is restored to the Republic. He then proceeded to read the following letters:
Mons, Messidor, July 1. "Citizens Colleagues, half an hour since we entered Mons. A division of General FERRAND, commanded by him, and by General FAVEREAU, took possession of the place. This important acquisition has not even cost us a man. We were received by an immense multitude with the most lively acclamations. Every where resounded the cries Vive la Nation! Vive la Republic! The slaves fly, and we may presume that some part of them will fall into the hands of the columns who have advanced towards Mont Pavile. To-morrow, I will enter into further details."
(Signed) "LEURENT." "P. S. I arrived just at the moment my Colleague had finished his letter, with the divisions under the command of the brave General KLEBERT. The enemy are completely driven from the environs of Mons. While we compelled them to abandon that formidable position, the advanced guard of the army of the Moselle, commanded by the intrepid LEBEBURE, attacked the camp of Reux, and experienced an equal degree of success."
(Signed) "GILLET."
"At present Landrecy is invested by the division of General JACOB. I subjoin the letter which he has written me upon the occasion."
From the Head-quarters before Landrecy, 13 Messidor, July 1.
"At present I have completely invested Landrecy: I occupy a part of the forest of Mormale; it must quickly fall into my hands, if superior forces from the quarter of Queinoi or Valenciennes do not compel me to raise the blockade. I have, however, so taken my measures as at least to prevent the danger of any surprize."
(Signed) JACOB."
16th MESSIDOR, July 5. BARRERE announced the evacuation of Ostend and Tourney, by the allied troops; and concluded with proposing a decree, which was adopted to the following effect:
"The National Convention decrees, that all the troops of the coalesced tyrants shut up in the places of the French territories invaded by the enemy on the Northern frontier, and who do not surrender at discretion, within twenty-four hours after they are summoned by the Generals of the army of the Republic, shall not be admitted to capitulation, but shall be put to the sword."
Voeu, in the name of the Commissioner of Dispatches, presented to the Convention a number of Addresses from different parts of the Republic, congratulating them on the late successes.
SUNDAY, July 6. Thibaudot made a report in the name of the Committee of Public Instruction, with respect to a new series of Elementary Works, adapted to the different objects of education, and the recompence which ought to be granted to their authors.
On the proposition of Cambon, a decree passed, appointing several regulations with respect to the payments to be made in the National Treasury, by those who had in their hands funds or effects belonging to the countries at war with the Republic.
Jambon St. Andre announced the capture of three ships, two English and one Spanish, laden with wool and Spanish wine, which had been carried into Port de la Montagne.
The Department of Marine, informed the

Convention, that a subscription had been opened in that department, for the building of a ship of the line for the service of the Republic. Honorable mention and insertion in the Bulletin.
Barrere informed the Convention, that the garrison of Valenciennes, Conde, Quesnoy, and Landrecies were very completely surrounded, and that all communication between these garrisons and the grand allied army had been rendered almost impracticable, on account of the well chosen position of the army of the Sambre and the Meuse, between Mons and Brussels.
Statement of the killed on the part of the Coalesced Powers since the capture of Landrecies.
On the 2d Prairial (21st of May) in the first combat near the wood of Bonne Esperance, 15,000 slaves were killed.
On the 5th Prairial, (24th May) in the combat near the Abbey of Obbe, 15,000 slaves.
On the 7th Prairial, (26th May) in the attack of Montigny, 1000.
From the 7th to the 15th Prairial (3d June) when Charleroi was first-blockaded, 2000 Austrians.
On the 23th Prairial, (16th June) in the very bloody engagement on that day, 6000 of their accomplices.
On the 30th Prairial, (23th June) near Harnoncourt, 200.
On the 7th Messidor, (24th June) 800 bit the dust.
On the 8th Messidor, (26th June) in the celebrated battle of Fleurus—in that battle which will eternally recall to our remembrance the skillful march of the soldiers of the army of the Moselle, who penetrated the wood of Ardennes, and crossed the rock of the Meuse, to afford an example of discipline to the enemy, and beat the enemy at Charleroi, in concert with the armies of the North and Ardennes; in that battle we have flayed the loss of the Allies to be between 8 and 10,000. The Representatives of the people have informed us, that the report of deserters since the battle of the 8th Messidor, estimate the loss of the enemy at 13,000. On this part of the frontiers the number of deserters from the Imperial standard is 600. To this we may add the garrison of Charleroi, which amounted to 3000 slaves, which surrendered at discretion.
Total of the killed, &c. 31,600.
On the side of the sea the deficit is the same, during the short period in which the French have over-run all West Flanders.
Besides these, 6000 were taken, and 67 pieces of cannon, in the battle fought before the capture of Ypres. To this number must be added the amount of the garrison of Ypres, which is 7000 men.
A deputation from the Popular Society of Amiens complained of the conduct of the Representative, Andre Dumont. Dumont rebutted this complaint by reading a letter in which the Members, comprising the present deputation, had congratulated him on his Republican conduct, and had particularly applauded that action which they now condemned.
The Convention ordered the Deputy and the Members of the deputation to go before the Committee of General Safety.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 16.
Extracts of a letter from Lancaster, dated Sept. 11, 1794.
"You will be sorry to be informed, that the rascals in Cumberland, intended last night to tar and feather our worthy countrymen Dr. Nesbit, and Mr. Watts, the lawyer, and it is generally believed it has been done. Two hundred men in arms surrounded the house where the commissioners had lodged with a view to make them dance round the liberty pole, but the commissioners were fortunately gone. Watts cut down the pole, and Dr. Nesbit had displeased them by a sermon."
There are letters in town from Baltimore, which state that a party of the Western insurgents are on their march toward Frederick, in Maryland, with a view to seize the military stores there—that the people of Baltimore and its neighbourhood, were turning out with uncommon spirit to oppose them—some hundreds had already marched.
A letter from Carlisle, received yesterday, mentions some disturbances in that city, which were not quelled when it was written.
NEW LONDON, Sept. 18.
Capt. Hemplead, in the Schooner Apollo, arrived on Tuesday, from Petit Bourg, Guadalupe in 17 days;—when he failed, the French and English were in the same situation they had been—the River Sel being the line that divided them—along this River there were erected batteries on both sides, that were continually cannonading each other; the English had about 600 regular troops, and the French about 700, and 5000 disciplined negroes: the English were very sickly, 20 or 30 falling sick every day. The French had made two attempts to cross the River Sel, in which they did not succeed, the English having been preinformed of it. The English were in expectation of 1500 troops from Europe, that were designed to have replaced those troops that are now there, that were to have been sent to Europe: the English had drawn from all the other Islands all troops that could be in any manner spared.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 18.
By accounts from Canada we learn, that in Gen. WAYNE's late engagement the Indians lost between 3 and 400, he having completely surrounded them. We learn also that Gen. WAYNE had gone back to Fort Recovery for a further supply of provisions.
BOSTON, September 25.
COMPENDIUM.
By the ship Barclay, from London, and by arrivals at New-York, we have accounts from Europe to the latter part of July. In addition to the particulars under the foreign head, we have learned, from sources on which the utmost reliance may be placed—
That there existed every prospect that success would crown the negotiation of Mr. JAY. From the known prudence of that gentleman any thing official cannot be expected, but from his private conversation, and from the opinion of those nearest connected with the British Ministry, no doubt existed that the three leading points of the embassy would be adjusted. First, That full indemnification would be given for all vessels illegally captured—Secondly, That the Western Posts would be given up; and Thirdly, That the Rights of the United States, as a neutral nation, would be recognized. It is not said that any actual negotiation has taken place; but from the interviews which Mr. JAY, has had with the Ministry, the expectation of success is founded.
That the French arms have overrun all maritime Flanders, and were in the vicinity of Antwerp; and there was no expectation but that they would subdue all the Netherlands, and make their way to Amsterdam.
That the people in England, were very generally sick of the War; and that reports were in circulation, that two of the leading Commanders of the combined armies had requested their Courts to begin a negotiation of Peace.
That both the French and English fleets were in port: and that nothing of consequence had occurred on the ocean.
And that there had been no accounts received of the inundation of the Netherlands.
The French with an energy without example, have overrun all Austrian Flanders, in sixty days, and have deprived the Emperor of many capital cities, and of two millions of subjects, who are now citizens and friends of the French Republic. The names of the principal cities which have been taken, were faithfully recorded in our last Chronicle.
The British troops have been obliged disgracefully to retreat as often as their enemies have appeared. The French were by the last intelligence, investing Sluys, in their way to Amsterdam. The armies of France have been every where successful: Even the victory of Lord Howe, so much boasted of, was considered as defective in the most material point, by the British, as it removed their only remaining hope of famine in France, by the arrival of the Chesapeake Fleet.
There is no prospect of peace between the British and the French Republic; but many suppose that the Spaniards, Austrians and Prussians may have a peace or truce granted them; it is certain that these last are retreating to their own country, while the remaining British are pushing into Holland.
The confederated armies are in fact dispersed or at least no longer in union.
There subsists the most perfect harmony between the Jacobin Clubs, the army, and the Convention.
The Germans and the British are computed to have lost 150,000 men the present campaign.
Nothing has hitherto transpired respecting Mr. Jay's mission, excepting various opinions of different writers, upon which a full reliance cannot be placed. They all agree however, that if more vigorous measures had been adopted on our part, our demands on the British government, would have been unquestionably successful. The repeal of the Embargo was much lamented by the Americans in England.
It is now made certain that if we ever obtain compensation, it will not be owing to any sense of justice in that government, but wholly to the prodigious success of France. In fact, that Republic will in that case, have twice saved this country from British rapine.
The Dutch are much dissatisfied with their own government, and generally friendly to France. There is a great probability of a revolution in Holland.
Mr. JAY'S MISSION.
A letter from a merchant of the first respectability, in London, says "that Mr. Jay, will have a knotty affair in the settlement of the American claims; and observes further, that an advertisement appeared in the English papers requesting the London merchants to make out an account of their losses, against the Americans sustained in the late war with that country."
Another letter mentions that we are indebted to the successes of the French, should any indemnification be made to the Americans, and that but for the rapid success of the French Mr. Jay would never have been permitted to negotiate. That the merchants of England were very coolly received by the ministry, on their application for indemnification but that the successes of France had given a more favourable turn to American affairs.
We are sorry to inform the public, that 60 sail of American vessels, and 150 sail of Danes and Swedes, have been captured by the British and carried into Guernsey, where they remained at the date of the last London accounts.
Extract of a letter of the 28th and 30th of August, from Bermuda.
"The privateers have strict orders from their owners to send in every vessel bound to the northern ports of Spain and Ostend, such vessels will be condemned, if sent in. There are 25 privateers now in commission: all vessels bound to or from French ports (including those of Europe) will be condemned vessel and cargo."
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 20.
Capt. Yard, of the brig Twins, 18 days from St. Croix, informs, that he spoke with Connell, yesterday, at the Port, from Guadalupe, who told him that the British kept a continual bombardment at Point-Petre, and that the French had 6000 people of colour very well disciplined inside, 3000 stand of arms, and 270 barrels of powder, with plenty of provisions. Captain Yard says, that about the latter end of August, 5 or 600 troops arrived at Bellerive, from Gibraltar.
Indian News.
September 22.
The following is an extract of a letter written by a gentleman of the strictest veracity in New-York, to a person of respectability in this city.
"By accounts through the English garrisons on the Lakes, we are informed, that General Wayne defeated the Indians on the 20th of August, with uncommon slaughter. The scene of action is said to have been upon the Miami, and the Indians, say these accounts, left 300 on the field.
"It is added, that the British post at the rapids of the Miami had been abandoned, and another position taken.
"This new position which is commanded by Major Campbell, with 3 companies is higher up the Miami, and in the neighborhood of the field of Wayne's victory.
"It seems that immediately after the action, Wayne summoned Campbell to evacuate his post, which was refused. General Wayne soon after changed his position, and disappeared—This circumstance is attributed to his being in want of provisions. From an apprehension that his army is a going against Detroit, that post has been strengthened by a considerable body of militia—at least this cause is assigned for an augmentation of the garrison of Detroit.
"Several British subjects, (said to be Canadians) were left wounded among the Indians, and my information states, that Wayne hung two of them."
The General's dispatches are hourly expected.
BOSTON, September 29.
Jacobins Triumphant!
Latest from Europe.
By an arrival since our last at Marblehead, of a schooner, owned by Col. Orne, in 36 days from Lisbon, we have received the following Intelligence, communicated by a gentleman of veracity, who came to town on Friday evening from Marblehead, after having spoken with the Captain, who informed him, That a few days previous to his leaving Lisbon, news had been received there that the French had possessed themselves of St. Sebastian; had taken and sent into port two British sloops of war cruising in the Bay of Biscay; were pushing forward to Bilboa; and that in consequence of their successes the Spaniards were panic struck; the merchants at Bilboa were leaving the town with great precipitation; the American vessels were receiving their cargoes on board with great dispatch, and those which had not landed their cargoes were leaving the port without hesitation. He also informs, that it was currently told at Lisbon, that the French were equally successful on the frontiers—in the Mediterranean—and were masters of Barcelona. Thus far our advices.
From France—Direct.
Capt. Allen in the Minerva from Bourdeaux, informs, that the arms of our republican allies, the Jacobins of France, are every where victorious. That it was the general opinion there, that they would shortly be in Amsterdam, where the Dutch patriots were anxiously expecting them. That the greatest order and regularity prevailed at Bourdeaux, all the aristocrats being nearly extirpated; and generally, that the Republicans were in high spirits, having all their ports filled with prizes.
Provisions continued rather scarce at Bourdeaux, but they were plenty in every other part of the Republic.

WE continue to march from success to success. The two armies of the North, the Sambre and the Meuse, yesterday effected their junction at Ath, and are now marching forward; the army of the North continually preserving the left. The enemy appears to retreat towards three points, Anvers, Maestricht, and the Rhine. We shall to-morrow seize on their march in the most certain manner.
I shall go to-morrow in quest of my colleagues Gillet and Guillon, to confer with them. It is late; I am fatigued—shall write you to-morrow more particular.

CITIZENS,
THE junction of the armies of the North, of the Sambre and the Meuse, is effected; they
arrived together at Brussels; their separation was not amiss; their re-union must produce the most favourable consequences; by pursuing the soldiers of the coalesced tyrants, who, notwithstanding the extreme heat which has been experienced for several days, have proceeded by rapid marches. The magazines they have been obliged to abandon, are every where numerous, and of every kind, numbers of deserters and prisoners are daily arriving. Vive la Republique.

From PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 22.
We are authorized to say, that it has been agreed between Mr. Jay and Lord Grenville, that during the present negotiation, and until the conclusion of it, all things shall remain in statu quo; that therefore both parties shall continue to hold their possessions, and that all hostile encroachments on either side shall be done away; that all hostile measures (if any such should have taken place) shall cease; and that in case it should unfortunately have happened, that prisoners or property should have been taken, the prisoners shall be released, and the property restored; and that both governments shall immediately give orders and instructions accordingly. Arrangements have been accordingly taken on both sides.
From PITTSBURGH.
The mail from Pittsburgh arrived at 6 o'clock last evening. The following extract of a letter dated the 12th inst. will shew the state of affairs in the western country.
"Yesterday being the day appointed by the Commissioners for taking the opinion of the people, respecting peace or war, upwards of 550 in the district of Pittsburgh, subscribed their declaration for submission to and support of the laws: But it has not been so general in the other districts that we have heard from—In Reed's district, only 20 have signed, and in the Forks of Yough, not one—Accounts from other places are not yet come in, but you are a sufficient judge of what is to be expected from other districts."
