EXTRACTS
Of a letter from England, to a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated Bath, February 18, 1793.
THE price of tin in European markets, is raised from 58 to 72 per cent.—by which Cornwall receives between 30 and 40,000. sterling per annum; the greatest part of it from foreign markets; so that there is full employment for men, women, and children, and the county not able to answer the full demand. And yet strange to relate! the county produces little corn. Depending on precarious importations, the poor inhabitants are often deprived of a supply, and grow riotous thro' want, even in times of profound peace. What may be expected, then, in this and other places similarly situated, in case the present war with France should continue.
"I was agreeably entertained by Mr. Bartram's travels in the Floridas and S. Carolina. His account of fishes of prey living peaceably with the smaller inoffensive fry, while together in clear, transparent water, is new and curious! His account of the amiable manners of those nations whom, thro' pride, we style Savages, is also very interesting.—Strange! that the artificial mode of flattening the heads of the children of the Chactaws, by mechanical compression, long continued, does not derange the faculties of the brain! On the contrary, we read, they become sensible, ingenious men; bold, intrepid, yet quiet and peaceable citizens. The method of taming wild horses, by salt, is a singular fact, and worthy attention.
"In case the present troubles in this country, should go to extremities, and terminate in anarchy, or a national convolution, America seems to offer the only eligible asylum for peaceable English subjects, who can surmount local prejudices and reconcile themselves to a voyage across the Atlantic, and content themselves with becoming fellow-citizens with their brethren in America. Many circumstances seem to portend such an event as at no great distance. The sanguinary spirit that now prevails among the potentates of Europe cannot fail to subject the inhabitants to all the horrors and calamities of war, or force them to seek refuge in more peaceable climes.
"Quicquid delirant Reges pleantur Achivi."
"The last year, particularly in the western parts of this Island, has been uncommonly wet. Of 365 days in the year 1792, two hundred and sixty three were rainy. viz. in January, 15 days; in Feb. 27; in March, 25; in April, 29; in May 20; in June, 18; in July 25; in August, 18; in Sept. 18; in October, 25; in November, 13; in Dec. 26. The present year, thus far, has been very similar: Scarce any frost or snow, much rain, cloudy atmosphere, the sun seldom visible.
"A method has lately been invented for making the changes of the barometer by a clock; and this might perhaps, without difficulty, be transferred to the thermometer and hydrometer—which would be a capital improvement in meteorological experiments.
"The Steam Engine has received great and important improvements, and is about to be applied to the propelling of vessels and other purposes, in all which I believe America is not behind hand.
"The samples of the true cinnamon lately sent from Jamaica, are allowed to rival, or even excel the best specimens hitherto imported from Ceylon; and the plantation is said to be in a flourishing condition. Plants might be transplanted to Carolina, or other similar latitudes. For why should this precious aromatic be confined to one particular spot? The Dutch by a narrow-minded selfish policy, have too long monopolized this and other valuable spices. But the products of nature, like those of science, ought to be diffused every where, that the different nations, like children of the same parent, may all partake of the benefit, and re-
turn grateful homage to the all bountiful Donor.
"A spirit for extending inland navigation by canals, never was more predominant in this country: But war will retard these and all other public spirited operations; watering of meadows begins to be successfully employed, diffusing fertility and verdure at a small expense. The gypsum is under trial, but does not promise such luxuriant crops as on your side of the Atlantic.
"Potatoes, for which we were originally indebted to South America, and which found their way very slowly as an article of diet, are now become the principal food for all kinds of cattle without exception; and experiments have shewn that with a small portion of flour, they are capable of being converted into a very useful and pleasant bread.
INDIAN CORN is recommended as a substitute for FODDER, in France, on a scarcity of HAY, to be sowed a bushel on an acre, well harrowed in, and mowed when it begins to spindle, before the frost kills it.
"Paper begins to be manufactured from coarse raw vegetables; and English rubarb is about to rival the true Turkey, tho' of a less marketable appearance.
"Mr. Knight, of Norwich, manufactures English shawls of large dimensions, and of such perfection as hardly to be distinguished from India, and at a twentieth part of the usual expense.
"Mr. Swaine, of the Bath Society, has discovered, that dried oak leaves, yield by decoction an astringent extract for tanning, which can be procured at one fifth the expense of oak bark, which is now exorbitantly dear.
"Mr. Howells, an ingenious watchmaker, has invented an improved escapement without springs, and without oil; so that the balance receives the same impulse in whatever position the watch is placed; and the machine goes with more truth. The want of this was the grand defect of all former escapements, as acknowledged by the best artists.
"Silk has been produced in England, equal to the best Chinese and mulberry plantations are too scarce to support a manufacture.
"The encaustic painting of the ancients, so much admired, has been lately revived by the ingenious Miss Greenland, who has discovered the method; and also, how to incorporate mastic and white wax, with water, by means of gun Arabic, as a vehicle for the colours."
LONDON, April 13.
State Paper.
GENERAL DUMOURIER
TO THE
FRENCH NATION.
SINCE the commencement of the Revolution, I have devoted myself to the maintenance of the liberty and honor of the nation.
The services I rendered in the year 1792, are the most memorable. Minister of Foreign Affairs during three months, I elevated and sustained the dignity of the French name throughout all Europe. I was calumniated by an odious cabal, by whom I was charged with having plundered six millions of livres destined for secret services. I have proved, that of this sum I did not expend half a million.
Having quitted the career of politics towards the close of the month of June, I commanded a small army in the Department of the north. This Department I was ordered to quit with my troops, at the very time the Austrians entered in force that part of the Republic. I disobeyed the order, saved the Department, and an attempt was made to come on me by surprise, for the purpose of conveying me to the Citadel of Mentz, where I was to be condemned by a council of war to suffer death.
On the 28th of August, I took upon me, in Champagne, the command of an army of twenty thousand men, weak, and without either discipline or organi-
zation. I arrested the progress of eighty thousand Prussians and Hessians, and forced them to retreat after they had sacrificed the one half of their army. I was then the Saviour of France; and then it was that the most wicked of men, the opprobrium of Frenchmen—in a word, Marat, began to calumniate me without any mercy. With a part of the victorious army of Champagne and some other troops, I entered, on the 5th of November, the Belgic Provinces, where I gained the for ever-memorable battle of Jemape; and, after a succession of advantages, entered Liege and Aix-la-Chapelle, towards the close of that month. From that moment my destruction was resolved on; and I have been accused of aspiring, now to the title of Duke of Brabant, now to the Stadtholdership, and again to the Dictatorship. To retard and crush my successes, the minister Pache, supported by the criminal faction to whom all our evils are to be ascribed, suffered the victorious army to want every thing, and succeeded in disbanding it by famine and nakedness. The consequence was, that more than fifteen thousand men were in the hospital, more than twenty-five thousand deserted through misery and disgust, and upwards of ten thousand horses died of hunger!!
I transmitted to the National Convention very strenuous remonstrances, which I followed up by repairing in person to Paris, to engage the Legislators to apply a remedy to the evil: they did not even condescend to read the four memorials I delivered in. During the twenty-six hours I spent at Paris, I heard almost every night bands of pretended Federates demand my head; and calumnies of every description, as well as menaces and insults followed me even into the country-house, to which I retired.
Having delivered in my resignation, I was retained in the service of my country, because it was proposed to me to negotiate the suspension of the war against England and Holland which I had conceived as indispensable to the safety of the Netherlands. Whilst I negotiated, and that successfully, the National Convention itself hastened to declare war, without making any preparations, and without either power or means for its support.
I was not even advised of this declaration and learned it through the medium of the Gazettes only. I hastened to form a small army of new troops, who had never fought; and with these troops, whom confidence rendered invincible, I made myself master of three strong places, and was ready to penetrate into the middle of Holland, when I learned the disaster of Aix-la-Chapelle, the raising of the siege of Maestricht, and the sad retreat of the army. By this army I was loudly summoned—I abandoned my conquests to fly to its succour; and considered that we could be extricated from our difficulties by a speedy success only. I led my companions in arms to the enemy. On the 16th of March, I had a considerable advantage at Tirlemont. On the 18th, I brought the enemy to a general action; and the centre and right wing, under my charge, were victorious. The left wing, after having attacked imprudently, fled. On the 19th, we retreated honorably with the brave men that were left together, for a part of the army disbanded itself. On the 21st, and 22d, we fought with the same courage; and to our firmness was owing the preservation of the remains of an army which breathes solely for true liberty: for the reign of the laws, and for the extinction of anarchy.
It was then that the Marats, the Robespierres, and the criminal sects of Jacobins of Paris plotted the fall of the generals and more especially of mine. These villains, bribed with the gold of Foreign Power to complete the disorganization of the armies, caused almost all the generals to be arrested. They keep them in the Jails of Paris, to Septemberize them; for thus it is that these monsters have coined a word, to hand down to posterity the remembrance of the hor-
rid massacres of the first six days of September.
Whilst I was employed re-composing the army, in which employment I labored night and day, on the first of April (yesterday) four commissioners reached me with a decree purporting that I should be brought to the bar of the Convention itself. The war minister, Bournonville (my pupil) was weak enough to accompany them, to succeed me in my command. The persons who were in suite of those perfidious emissaries, informed me, themselves that different groups of assassins, either fugitives from or driven out of my army, were dispersed on the road to kill me before I could reach Paris. I spent several hours in endeavoring to convince the commissioners of the imprudence of this arrest—Nothing could shake their pride; and I therefore arrested the whole of them, to serve me as hostages against the crimes of Paris.
I instantly arranged with the Imperialists a suspension of arms, and marched towards the capital, to extinguish, as speedily as possible, the lighted embers of a civil war.
My dear countrymen! it is expedient that a true and brave man remove from you the veil which covers all our crimes and misfortunes. In 1789, we made great efforts to obtain Liberty, Equality, and the Sovereignty of the people. Our principles were consecrated in the declaration of the Rights of Man; and there have resulted from the labors of our Legislators, 1st, the declaration which says that France is and shall remain a monarchy—2dly, a constitution to which we swore fealty in 1789, '90, and '91.
This constitution might, and indeed must have been imperfect; but it ought and might have been believed, that with time and experience, its errors would be rectified, and that the necessary strife between the Legislative and Executive powers would establish a wise equilibrium, which would prevent either of these powers from seizing the whole of the authority, and attaining despotism. If the despotism of a single individual is dangerous to Liberty, how much more odious must be that of 700 men many of whom are void of principles without morals and, who have been able to reach that supremacy by cabals or crimes alone!
Licentiousness and excess soon rendered it impossible to support the yoke of a constitution that gave laws.—The tribunes influenced the assembly of representatives, and were themselves awed by the dangerous club of the Jacobins of Paris.—The strife between the two powers at length became a daily combat. Then was the equilibrium destroyed—France ceased to have a King; and the victory of the 10th of August was foiled by the atrocious crimes of the first day of September.
All the departments, but more especially the wretched city of Paris, were delivered up to pillage, to denunciations, proscriptions, and massacres. No Frenchman, the assassins and their complices excepted, had either his life or his property in security! The consternation of slavery was augmented by the clamorous orgies of Villains: Bands of pretended Federates ran through and laid waste the departments; and of the seven hundred individuals who composed this despotic and anarchial body, four or five hundred groaned and decreed, and decreed and groaned, exposed to the exterminating sword of the Marats and Robespierres. It is thus that the unfortunate Louis the 16th perished, without a judicial trial, and without a tribunal; and 'tis thus that the decree of the 19th of November has provoked all nations by holding out to them our aid, provided they will consent to disorganize themselves. 'Tis thus that the unjust and impolitic decree of the 15th of December has alienated from us the hearts of the Belgians, has driven us from the Netherlands, and would have brought about the massacre of our whole army by this nation, provoked at our outrages and our crimes, if I had not saved that very army by my Proclamations. 'Tis

thus that a decree established the bloody tribunal which places the lives of the citizens at the mercy of a small number of iniquitous judges, without recourse or appeal to any other tribunal. 'Tis thus that during the last month all the decrees have been marked by the stamp of insatiable avarice, by the blindest pride, and more especially by the desire of maintaining power, by calling to the most important posts of the state no other than daring, incapable and criminal men, by driving away or murdering men enlightened and of a high character, and by supporting a phantom of a republic which their errors in administration and in policy, as well as their crimes, had rendered impracticable. These seven hundred individuals despise, detest, calumniate and revile each other; and have already, and that frequently thought of poignarding the one the other. At this moment their blind ambition has impelled them to coalesce afresh; and bold criminality allies itself to feeble virtue, to preserve a power as unjust as it is unsteady. In the mean time, their committees devour every thing, that of the National treasury absorbing the public funds, without being able to render any account of the expenditure.
What has this Convention done to maintain the War, it has provoked against all the powers of Europe?
It has disorganized the armies, instead of reinforcing and recruiting the troops of the line, and the ancient battalions of National Volunteers, which would have formed a respectable army. Instead of recompensing these brave warriors by promotion and praises, these legislators have left the battalions incomplete, naked, disarmed and discontented. In the same way have they treated the excellent cavalry; and the brave French artillery is in the same manner exhausted, abandoned, and in want of every necessary. They, notwithstanding, create new corps composed of the Satellites of the 2d of September, and commanded by men who have never served, and who are no other way to be dreaded unless by the armies they surcharge and disorganize. The Convention sacrifices every thing to these Satellites of tyranny, to these cowardly head-lopers. The choice of officers, and that of administrators, are in every particular the same: we see throughout the tyranny which flatters the wicked, because the wicked alone can support tyranny:—And, in its pride and its ignorance, this Convention orders the conquest and disorganization of the whole Universe: it says to one of its Generals, Go and take Rome—and to another, Sally forth and subdue Spain—to the end that despoiling commissioners, similar to those horrid Roman Proconsuls against whom Cicero declaimed, may be sent thither. In the worst season of the year, it sends the only fleet it possesses into the Mediterranean, to split and founder on the rocks of Sardinia; whilst it exposes the fleets of Brest to the fury of the storms, by sending them in quest of an English fleet that has not yet left its port.
In the mean time, a civil war spreads through all the departments. Some of the insurgents are excited by fanaticism, the necessary effect of persecution; others by an indignation at the tragical and fruitless end of Louis the Sixteenth; and others, finally, by the natural principle of resisting persecution.
Arms are everywhere taken up; murders everywhere committed; and everywhere are pecuniary supplies and provisions intercepted. The English foment these troubles; and will, by their succours, supply fuel to them at their pleasure. Soon will every one of our Corsairs disappear on the ocean; soon will the southern department cease to receive supplies of corn from Italy and Africa; and already have those from the North and from America been intercepted by the squadrons of the enemies. Famine will annex itself to all our other scourges; and the ferocity of our Canibals will but increase with our calamities.
Frenchmen! we have a rallying-point, which can stifle the monster of anarchy; 'tis the constitution we swore to maintain in 1789, 90, and 91: 'tis the work of a free people; and we shall remain free, and shall recover our glory, by resuming our constitution.
Let us display our virtues, more especially that of mildness; too much blood has already been spilled. If the monsters by whom we have been disorganized chuse to fly, let us leave them to meet their punishment elsewhere, if they do not find it in their own corrupted heart, but if they wish to support anarchy by new crimes, then shall the army punish them.
In the generosity of the enemies we have oft grievously outraged, I have found the security of external peace. Not only do they treat humanely and attentively our wounded, sick, and prisoners who fall into their hands—and this in despite of the calumnies spread by our agitators to render us ferocious—but they engage to suspend their march, not to pass our frontiers, and to leave our brave army the termination of all our internal dissensions.
Let the sacred torch of the love of our country awaken in us our virtue and our courage! at the bare name of Constitution, civil war will cease, or can no longer exist unless against certain malevolent men who will no longer be supported by foreign powers. These have no hatred to any others among us except our factious criminals and desire nothing more fervently than to restore their esteem and friendship to a Nation whose errors and anarchy disturb and trouble all Europe. —Peace will be the fruit of this resolution, and the troops of the line, as well as the brave national volunteers, who for the space of a year have offered themselves as willing sacrifices to liberty, and who abhor anarchy, will repose in the bosom of their families, after having accomplished this noble work.
As to myself I have already made an oath, and I repeat it before the whole nation, and in the presence of all Europe, that immediately after having effected the safety of my country by the re-establishment of the constitution of peace and good order, I shall abandon every public function, and shall seek in solitude the enjoyment of the happiness of my fellow-citizens.
The General in Chief of the French army, DUMOURIER.
Baths of St. Amand, April 2, 1793.
[Arrived at Boston, the 13th instant, Captain WILSON, in 32 days from Bristol. By him papers have been received, to the 7th May; from which the following article are extracted:]
LONDON, [From the Oracle, May 3.]
OFFICIAL. Of the Sortie from CASSEL.
Communicated in a Letter from Lieutenant General SCHONFIELD to the Duke of BRUNSWICK LUNENBURG.
"Your Highness has probably been informed by Major SCHEL, of the Artillery, of the late affair of the 15th, according to the latest advices of the day, and the information obtained from the prisoners and defectors from the Enemy, their Sortie was disposed in three columns composed at least of 12,000 men. Their principal object of attack was Kostheim and the grand redoubt of Massbach , when the enemy succeeded in penetrating the Hessian right wing in a manner almost imperceptible; but the firmness of the Hessians did not permit them to finish their devastation; the enemy in turn irretrievably losing one piece of cannon, while those which they nailed up of ours may again be rendered serviceable. The post of Biberic was also as warmly assailed, as defended by Major SPITNAUS, with two companies of dismounted Chasseurs. The enemy left 60 men upon the ground on their retreat.
"Our left wing at Kostheim was attacked with 3 or 4000 men and four pieces of cannon; they forced the gate, but did not long keep possession, as I had no sooner determined upon the mode of combined attack, than I ordered two battalions of my left wing, under Gen. VITENHOFFEN, to march against them, protected by my batteries. On this occasion I regret the loss of Lieutenant BORSTELL and six brave soldiers of the regiment of Croufaz. The Hessian troops were sustained by Lieutenant-General DELINDT, with three battalions of infantry, and two squadrons of cavalry, notwithstanding Kostheim was then vigorously attacked; in fine, the French were repulsed in all parts. The number of prisoners is not yet known. The killed on the enemy's side are much more numerous than ours; they left 200 at least scattered about in different places; we have lost only 20 men; so that notwithstanding the non-importance of this rencounter, I cannot help esteeming it as a fresh proof of the decisive superiority which His MAJESTY's Arms will ever obtain over those of our enemies."
MAY 6.
DUMOURIER has declared that he would have saved Louis XVI. if he could have found one man of firmness and courage in the whole National Convention, the majority of whom were Royalists in their hearts. What a severe re-
action is this upon the character of the French Nation!
VIENNA, April 15.
HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY has sent orders to the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg , to send hither, under a proper escort, the French General Bourdonville , his Adjutant, and the Members of the French National Convention, now State Prisoners. His Majesty has farther given orders to His Serene Highness, to enjoin the officers who commands this escort, to halt at the last post before Vienna, to transmit official notice to the Aulic Council of War, of the arrival of the Prisoners. We are assured that they will be imprisoned in the Fortress of Spielberg in Moravia .
The Senate of Venice lately gave orders to the French Charge des Affairs in that city to take down the Arms of the French Republic from his Hotel; but the latter not having complied with these orders within the time appointed, the Senate caused them to be ignominiously taken down by some stone-masons attended by an escort of 200 Shirrs .
The States of the Austrian Netherlands have requested leave to send a Deputation to our Court; and their request has been granted.
FRANKFORT, April 13.
Madame Daniels, mistress to General Custine, has been taken in men's clothes by the Prussians at Gunterblum. It is said she had 36,000 French crowns with her.
COLOGNE, April 19.
At four o'clock yesterday morning General Dumourier and two other officers arrived at this place, and after changing horses, continued their route towards Schweitz.
LOWER RHINE, April 20. During the course of this week 1500 French prisoners (and among them 62 officers) of Custine's army arrived at Wesel, and were placed in the Citadel.
BRUSSELS, April 26.
That part of the combined army, consisting of Austrians and Prussians, commanded by General Clairfayt , which threatened Lisle, and had taken several advantageous positions round that place, has quitted them, in order to advance a gainst Conde and Valenciennes, which will probably be the two principal points of attack. While this movement was effecting, the corps commanded by Lieut. General de la Tour , after having given a false alarm to the intrenched camp of Mauberg, advanced against that place to blockade it, and to cut off entirely its communication with Valenciennes. These measures were attended with the desired success.
On the 23d, a very smart engagement took place between the advanced posts in the neighbourhood of Maubeuge. The French having advanced in great numbers, forced at first some posts of chasseurs, but soon after our people, being reinforced, obliged the enemy to fall back in disorder.
APRIL 12.
On the 11th, 12th, and 13th, several bloody actions have taken place in the environs of Conde and Valenciennes, in which the French were found to give way, which was not, however, done, but with the most obstinate resistance.
APRIL 27.
Yesterday, and the day before, 4,000 Hanoverian troops passed here on their way to the Frontiers to join the English troops. The fine appearance of this corps excited the admiration of all the inhabitants.
ARANJUEZ, April 10.
The Madrid Gazette has of late been filled with a register of patriotic offers which still continue to be made with great alacrity and zeal. The Duke de la Infantado has presented the King with a regiment of 1200 men, cloathed, armed and equipped in every respect—They have eight battalion-guns, two field pieces, and 4 howitzers, with the necessary ammunition and baggage, waggons, and mules, and the Casse du Regiment stocked with a large sum of ready cash.
Another Grandee has also raised a regiment on his estates; and several have paid into the Royal Treasury a voluntary gift of 10,000l. in hard and sterling money.
The Queen, and all the Ladies of the Court are busily employed in making lint.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION—April 25.
Letter from the Commissioners on the Northern Frontiers.
"VALENCIENNES, April 23.
"WE have the satisfaction to inform you that we have gained a new advantage
over the enemy. They attacked yesterday near Maubeuge, in three columns and with six pieces of cannon, one of our advanced posts, which being inferior in number, fell back on the camp. General Mombouy immediately proceeded from the camp with a reinforcement of nine pieces of cannon. The combat was obstinate, and continued from five in the morning 'till three in the afternoon. Our troops fought with so much bravery that they forced the enemy to retire with precipitation. They left a great number of men on the field, and as in their flight they did not find the bridge sufficiently broad, many of them passed the Sambre by swimming. The citizens of Maubeuge, in case of a serious attack, have sworn that they will bury themselves under the ruins of the place, and hang the first person who shall speak of capitulating. Givet and Charlemont wait for the enemy with the same resolution. In short our enemies are not to be dreaded at present; the reports given to us are not alarming. The enemy spend their time in parade and making false attacks. Their principal object, it is said, is Valenciennes, but they will not succeed."
LEXINGTON, (Kentucky) April 13.
We are informed that a party of men under Major Whealy , who went to the place where the company was defeated in the Wilderness on the 26th ult. have returned, and brought in with them the most of the horses and baggage belonging to the party defeated, as also two of the children that were missing. It is supposed some sudden alarm caused the Indians to leave the ground immediately, by means of which the children were preserved. They also found and brought in a child that was taken by the Indians from a company they defeated about the first of March; it had struggled off from their camp while they were making the attack on the company of the 26th. The children had suffered very much for want of food.
On the 5th instant, a large party of Indians fired on six boats coming down the Ohio but did no other damage than kill one horse.
On the same day, a body of Indians, supposed to be 50, attacked a station on Russell's Creek , and continued near 24 hours without effecting any thing, the inhabitants having previous notice of their approach. They killed a man near the station on their advance, into whose body they shot nineteen balls.
APRIL 20.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cumberland, to his friend in Fayette, dated Nashville, April 8.
"To see the country all in forts, breaking up, leaving their farms, their houses, and corn burnt up—is truly distressing. At this time nearly half the country are in forts."
Captain Kenton , with about 34 men, who went up the Ohio, in order to intercept the Indians who took Morgan's Station , fell in with the trail of a party of Indians on the waters of Paint Creek , coming into the settlement; he followed them and at night, observing he was near them, sent forward some spies to discover their fires; unluckily the spies fell in with their camp, and before they discovered it the Indians were alarmed by a dog which flew out at the spies—upon which the Indians fired on them; the spies returned the fire; upon hearing the firing the whole party came up, and the Indians retreated, leaving their baggage, amongst which was a quantity of powder, lead and blankets. Kenton had one man killed. It is supposed two Indians were killed and carried off, from some discoveries that were made next morning.
SPRINGFIELD, May 28.
Extract of a letter from Capt. William Eaton , to the commanding officer at the recruiting rendezvous in Bennington , dated Legionville , April 23.
"The Legion have been for several days under marching orders. We shall descend the river Ohio, next Monday. What may be the object of forming a junction of the army I know not, but conjecture it is to prepare for such operations as may be thought necessary after the result of the treaty is known.
"Our troops are in good spirits; the aspect of the army is more pleasing than ever before on these waters. We are commanded by a man industrious, vigilant, brave—he would rather fight than leave it alone—I like his arrangements and so does every subordinate officer. Into whatever scrape the capricious belle of war may lead us, sure I am we shall not extricate ourselves by retreat. Twelve hundred volunteer cavalry from Kentucky, I am told, are to be called into active service, if wanted. Our regulars, by constant practice, have become excellent marksmen. These are all good symptoms."
PHILADELPHIA, June 3.
On Saturday last an elegant entertainment was given at Oeller's Hotel ,

by the citizens of Philadelphia, to Citizen GENET , minister Plenipotentiary from the French Republic, to the U. States.—Three tables were laid out and upwards of 200 persons were present. The artillery who were stationed near the company fired 15 rounds at the 1st, 8th and last toasts, and 3 at every other. Several Patriotic songs were sung, and the cap of LIBERTY supported by the American and French colours, appeared at the Head of the table. The evening terminated in the utmost harmony, as the day had been spent; for there has seldom been known any public meeting, that equalled this for sentiment, friendship, liberty and conviviality.
Island of St. Domingo.
The last letters received by Citizen Genet , Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the United States, from the National Commissioners at St. Domingo, contain the most satisfactory particulars respecting the tranquility which the Colony enjoys since the surrender of Port-au-Prince, on the 12th of April last, and the expulsion of men who, stirred up by the British government, had formed the design of delivering up the Colony to that power, where they had long been fomenting disturbances, and meditating the ruin of the country, or its separation from the French empire.
These inveterate enemies to France are no doubt those who have spread a notion through the United States, that American vessels carrying provisions to the French part of St. Domingo, might run the risk of being seized there with their cargoes. The Citizens of the United States, may on the contrary rest assured, that they shall always receive, from the National Commissioners and public functionaries in that Colony, the protection which they have a right to expect for themselves and their property, and that they shall be duly paid for all such articles as they may supply the Colony with; the National Convention having put considerable sums in their disposal for that object, besides what they raise from the contributions in produce levied on the inhabitants of the Colony.
TOBAGO.
The attack made by the British on the Island of Tobago, will be one of the memorable eras of the French revolution. Soldiers animated by the love of liberty, were alone capable of the resistance which was opposed by FORTY MEN , to a very numerous body of English troops. On the 15th of April, in the night, the English landed on Courland Bay two complete regiments, besides a great number of volunteers brought from Barbadoes, and French emigrants from the Colonies. The landing was effected by the active assistance of four fifths of the inhabitants of the Island who are almost all English, and with whom the British generals had long maintained a secret correspondence. Those Colonists who were at least bound by their oaths of allegiance, to remain quiet spectators of the contest—served on the contrary as guides to the English troops during the night, who arrived at 3 o'clock in the morning under the small fort of Tobago, garrisoned by 40 regulars only. Not until that moment, was Montel, the commandant, informed of the arrival of the British; the garrison immediately prepared for a vigorous defence, with an ardour that is impossible to describe.
The brave Montel, who had already acquired a great reputation by his conduct at St. Lucia, of which he was governor at the time of the rebellion of Martinique and Guadalupe, being summoned to surrender, answered, that such men as his fellow-soldiers and himself, could not surrender to the slaves of despotism. The firing began and was kept up very briskly on both sides; the English after a resistance which they were not prepared for, from the assurances they had received from the French emigrants, that the patriotic banditti would fly on their first approach, offered for the second time to the commandant a capitulation on the most honorable terms; his answer was, that he never would capitulate, and that they might begin the assault with which he was threatened. On this answer, the English generals in fact ordered the fort to be stormed, courage was obliged to yield to numbers, and the fort was taken sword in hand. The loss was very considerable on the side of the English, one of their generals was dangerously wounded. On the French side, the brave fort was almost all killed or wounded, and the few survivors were sent to England as prisoners of war; commandant Montel was one of these.
BOSTON, June 15.
Extract of a letter from London, April 21.
“On the 15th inst. the unfortunate Gen. BLANCHELAND , formerly Gov. of Hispaniola, was beheaded at Paris. The greatest simplicity of manners—an inexhaustible fund of goodness—the purest soul—the most scrupulous exercise of every moral and religious virtue—a soldier's intrepidity, united to the experience of an old officer, indebted solely to his merit for his advancement—and an unfulfilled behavior in the most difficult stations, were characteristics of this man, and they well entitled him to the Martyr's crown. In his last moments, his moderation and firmness could not be surpassed but by the ferocious barbarity of his executioners.
“Gen. BLANCHELAND failed from Cape-Francois, when Gen. D'ESPARBES arrived to take the government of Hispaniola. The Mandatories of the sanguinary Convention of France, (the Commissioners,) in leaving to his order the frigate, in which he embarked, caused him to appear before the Convention, in order to be tried—The Convention referred his trial to the tribunal of Paris, who also had the charges against Col. Cambefort , and his officers, under cognizance. The tribunal acquitted Cambefort , and his officers, much to the dissatisfaction of the Convention; who looking upon the decision as too great a mark of indulgence, ordered a new Revolutionary Tribunal to take cognizance of the prosecution against Gen. Blancheland —and in forty-eight hours he was tried, condemned, executed, and his property confiscated—notwithstanding the constitutional law against the last part of the sentence.”
COMBINED ARMIES.
At the latest date of our European accounts, the combined armies were hourly augmenting. But they were not in a state of very active operation—contenting themselves with a few sieges and blockades. The most official accounts, say, “That the Prince of Cobourg was waiting for the junction of the whole of the forces which are to attack France at the same time, in order to make a grand attack.—The different corps are to be disposed as follows: The principal army commanded by Prince Cobourg, to consist entirely of Austrians; Count Clairfayt to head the Prussians, joined to a corps of Imperialists; and the Duke of York to have under his orders, the English, Dutch, and Hanoverians. The corps of Prussians that was under Prince Frederick of Brunswick, were advanced from Dutch Brabant into the Netherlands, and formed part of the cordon on the French frontier. They had taken possession of the small towns of Lannoy, Turcoing, and Roubaix; where they were preparing for the attack of Lisle, where there is a garrison of 20,000 men, who have made several successful sallies. Accounts from Lisle dated the 17th April, state it to be surrounded on all sides. Conde was still invaded; but no place has yet surrendered to the allied army. It seems to be their intention to enter France, by Landrecy and St. Quentin.”
SALEEM, June 11.
ADVISES FROM MARTINIQUE.
Capt. ELI BROWN , who arrived at Marblehead on Saturday last from Martinique, which he left the 19th ult. has afforded us the following particulars relative to the situation of that Island. The 6th of May there was a general alarm beat in St. Pierre, and all the Whites, Mulattoes and free Negroes were turned out to embark for fort Royal, to make a general attack upon the Aristocrats—on their way thither, the General tho' it best not to go out with his whole body, and dispatched back to St. Pierre, by land, 200 men, who were attacked by a body of the enemy, abreast of Case-Navire that were concealed in the Cane Patches, but the Republicans made a retreat in good order to St. Pierre, with two only of their party wounded.—The next morning the Firm line of battle-ship and the Calypso frigate, belonging to the Aristocrats, took possession of Case-Navire and cut off the communication between Fort Royal and St. Pierre, by land and sea. The 10th, eleven British ships (8 of the line and 3 frigates) made their appearance off St. Pierre—three of them proceeded up and took possession of Fort-Royal Bay, in order to block it up, the remainder anchored upon Times, at Case-Navire, where they landed, and the English and White flags were hoisted in union. About 5 or 6 days before Capt. Brown sailed, 7 of the English ships disappeared—and on his passage he spoke an English privateer off Dominica, the Commander of which informed him that
the second English fleet had arrived at Barbadoes, with troops, and that the above 7 ships were gone for said troops. The skirmishes between the General's party (the republican, we suppose) and the Aristocrats were frequent and bloody—the former had burnt 22 plantations between Robert and Lamentin, as was reported when Capt. Brown sailed. No vessels had arrived at France for 40 days. The French sailors were obliged to go on shore to guard the town, as what few old men the General left on guard were worn down with fatigue.
The embargo had been on 15 days when Capt. Brown sailed—the Stores had been shut the time, and no business transacted.
NEWBURYPORT, June 15.
Captain Young, who arrived here on Sunday last, in 14 days from St. Marks, informs that the disturbances at that place were as far from being settled as they have been for several months past. Many vessels belonging to that place had been captured by the English—That on his passage home he was boarded by a tender to an English ship—The officer who came on board made enquiry concerning the French Convoy which was expected to sail from Cape-Francois; likewise a French 74, which they expected from Port-au-Prince.—Capt. Young left at St. Marks, Capt. Ingersol of Salem, who was to sail the day after—Brig Lyon, Capt. Dearing, of Portland, and a Schooner from Kennebec, —Baker, master.
Captains Smith and Perkins, of Kennebec, were at Port-au-Prince the 9th April.
PORTSMOUTH, June 18.
We this day present to our readers the most material intelligence that has yet come to hand. The public will suspend their judgment on the (seeming) traitorous conduct of DUMOURIER , since, if there is truth in his letter to the Convention (vide 1st and 2d pages of this day's Gazette) his denunciation was not dictated by motives which can entitle him to the epithet either of a Cromwell or an Arnold .—Further information from the seats of war may now be speedily expected; when we shall be enabled to gratify an anxious public—earnestly wishing for the success of freedom's arms.
The Hon. General Court, now in session at Concord, will rise, it is supposed, in all this week.
On Saturday the 8th inst. was committed to the prison in Dover, by 'Squire Knoles, Mr. Stephen Pierce of Rochester, upon the charge of attempting a RAPE on a Miss Burnham of the said Rochester, about 16 years old—daughter of Mr. Enoch Burnham, of said town.
BY AUTHORITY.
The court of Common-pleas which by law was to have been holden at Moultonborough on the third Tuesday inst. is by a resolve of the Legislature postponed to the second Tuesday of August next.
The EXETER paper of June 11, contains the following extract of a letter from a gentleman in the Treasury department at Philadelphia, to his friend in Hanover, May 4.
“I would inform you that last evening at nine o'clock, arrived here from the Court of Ex-Princes at Coblenz, Count de NOAILLES , Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary from the Prince Regent of France. At a very late hour he waited on the President with whom he was in private conversation until near morning. M. Genet, Minister from the Republic is on his way from Charleston, S. C. and is daily expected.—The crisis of affairs, it is generally thought, will demand a session of Congress.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated March 5.
“Two posts or stations are to be established in the wilderness at the public expence, and a treaty held with the northern Indians the ensuing spring or summer.”
THE FRENCH ARMIES.
That under CUSTINE is 36,000 strong, posted in the neighbourhood of Conde , on the borders of the Rhine, near Landerburgh , and on the heights of Weissenburgh .
Gen. CUSTINE has written a letter to the French National Convention, similar in sentiment to DUMOURIER 's, of the 12th of March last—His denunciation may therefore speedily be expected.
The widow CAPET was still confined in the Temple, with her children, and sister-in-law. Nothing sanguinary appears to threaten them.

DELIA CRUSCA to LAURA.
BLEST Daughter of Gentleness! Child of the Muse!
Restrain the dear Lay that so meltingly flows,
Tho' its breathings a transport diviner diffuse,
Than the Nightingale's prayer for the kiss of the Rose.
Yet alas! there is anguish, and danger to hear,
The spells of the fatal enchanter I prove,
Her magic dominion in thee I revere,
For I know thou art Beauty, and feel thou art Love.
I feel that thy charms can enrapture the view,
Thy thought so expressive, so richly refin'd,
Has pow'r to disorder, has force to subdue;
And I die in adoring thy Heart and thy Mind.
When I see thy own Heaven in refulgence array'd,
Like the Persian to modest devotion I run,
By the blaze of thy Glory my soul is dismay'd,
For I am the Bigot, and thou art the Sun.
Yet tho' the rich tribute of merit and fame,
From taste, and discernment, thou ever must share;
Pale Folly and Rancour, shall fix on thy name,
And Envy distracted be turn'd to Despair.
When the Eagle majestic sails thro' the sky,
The Owl and the Raven are shock'd at the sight,
To the caverns of darkness in anguish they fly,
And curse with dismay the bold bird of the Light.
Then, daughter of Gentleness! Child of the muse,
By pity, each wretch's resentment control,
Let the dull and the dastard aspire to abuse,
Be it mine, thou sweet Poet, to give thee my soul.

NOTICE!
MR. LINCKLAEN takes this method to inform the public in general, and those Husbandmen in particular, who wish to settle in the Back Countries, that he has the disposal of upwards of one hundred thousand acres of choice Land in one body; lying and situated in the Counties of Herkemer, and Tioga, in the State of New-York. Being Township No 1, of the twenty townships. Also, the Board Township, and lying between the military Lands, and the twenty townships. Which Lands were formerly granted to Watkins and Flint, and Watkins and Sackett.
Mr. LINCKLAEN, being sensible that the progress of the new settlements, though going on very rapidly, has, notwithstanding, been very much retarded for the want of proper assistance, and encouragement, wishes to obviate this by turning his constant care and attention to whatever has a tendency to promote the good of the Country at large, and his Lands in particular. With this view he is forming a settlement in the Board Township, at the outlet of a beautiful Lake, of about three miles and half long; and one mile wide. Where he is laying out a town, for the accommodation of Mechanicks; building Mills; erecting a well assorted store; potash-works; and opening different roads to Whitesboro, the Salt-springs, the Chenango River, and Catskill.
The main road which leads into the Genesee Country, passes at six miles distance only from the above mentioned town, where Mr. LINCKLAEN means to reside himself, and where he will be happy to see the Emigrants, and give them such descriptions of the Country, and information with respect to the terms of settling, as they may wish.
The terms of payment will be made very easy, and encouragement given to all kind of Mechanicks.
N. B. Mr. LINCKLAEN must inform the public, that he will sell no Lands, but to actual settlers.
