From the (Phila.) General Advertiser. The following information and remarks will not be found unseasonable at a time when our allies the French are pushing their conquests in the quarter it describes. "Treves, the capital of an electorate of that name, is situated on the left bank of the Moselle, in a narrow vale formed by a series of hills and steep mountains which run almost uninterrupted on both sides of the Moselle, from the frontiers of France to near Coblenz. It lies thirty miles east of Luxembourg, and about 62 South-West of Coblenz and contains scarcely 20,000 inhabitants, a number which falls far short of being proportioned to the extensive space it covers. The following Latin verse was wrote on the State House of this city: Ante Roman Treviris fletit annis mille trecentis "Treves existed 1300 years before Rome." However extravagant this inscription may be, it is at least proved beyond all doubt, that Treves was a considerable place in Cæsar's time, an opulent city during the reign of the Roman Emperors, and is now decreasing but looked upon as the oldest city of Germany. Though Treves is only defended by a single wall and ditch, the bad roads in this part of Germany and the strong entrenchments raised on the neighboring mountains, especially on the river Sarre, render the access to it extremely difficult, and if some unforeseen circumstances do not oblige the Carmagnols to abandon this very important post, it will prove a valuable acquisition to the Republic. Luxembourg, which is thought to be one of the strongest fortifications in Europe, is the only place that can check, in some manner, the victorious arms of the Republicans, in this quarter; and as long as the Austrians are able to keep up a communication with this formidable bulwark of the German Empire, the countries on the west side of the Rhine may be deemed invaded, but not conquered. The taking of Treves by the French does not only expose the ecclesiastical electorates and part of Westphalia, but a stone bridge built here over the Moselle opens a passage to the best cantons of that rocky and mountainous country called the dutchy of Luxembourg, and this is the only practicable road that leads from this side of Germany to the fortresses of Luxembourg, and from thence to Namur and Liege. It is consequently now in the power of the French to cut off the numerous garrison of Luxembourg and perhaps not impossible to take that famous place by famine; for a regular siege would require a numerous army, and such an immense quantity of military stores can't be procured within a short space of time; to form this place would be extremely dangerous, and at least expose thousands of the bravest republicans, it being inaccessible on three sides and rendered almost impregnable on the fourth, where Marechal Créquy opened the trenches when he besieged and took this place. It is probable, that the Carmagnols will drive the enemy on all sides over the Rhine. Mayence can only be well defended by a French garrison, its fortifications are too extensive, and rather calculated for an army. Coblenz can only hold out a few days; its citadel Ehrenbreitstein on the other side of the Rhine, is stronger, but only spacious enough for a small garrison. The fortifications of Bonne are raised. Cologne, a large Imperial city, is filled with Convents and garrisoned by Monks. Juliers, a small fortress 14 miles west of Cologne, is only calculated for a small garrison.
From a Boston Paper, Nov. 10. DEPOSITION. Capt. THOMAS HILLER, of the brig Hawk, an American vessel, which arrived here from Halifax on the 1st inst. with flour, declareth, and saith, That he was chased off the harbour from a little above Lovell's Island, until he got nearly opposite the Castle, by an armed boat belonging to the Concorde, commanded by 3 officers, and about 20 men, with cutlasses, &c. They boarded him, let go his anchor, with the sails standing, demanded his papers, insulted him, tore the name from off the stern of his vessel—sent the boat to the Concorde to know if they should proceed up—forbid him from going on shore—and after detaining him from 8 o'clock in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, they permitted him to proceed up to town.—He repeatedly demanded the reason of his being treated thus;—the answer that he could obtain from the officer was, that it was by the orders of the Captain of the Concorde. THOMAS HILLER, Suffolk ss. Boston, Nov. 4, 1794. SWORN to, before me, SAMUEL COOPER, Jus. Peace. TO BE LETT, Half of a convenient DWELLING-HOUSE, situated in a very pleasant part of the town, for further particulars apply to the Printer hereof.

DEAL, August 20.
A Dutch cutter is this moment arrived from Sluys, and brings advice, that the fleet in Brest water, on hearing of Robespierre's death, was immediately dismantled by the men and officers; who determined not to go to sea any longer, and went together on shore.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
24 THERMIDOR—August 11.
A letter from Soranni and Milhaud, Commissioners with the army of the Eastern Pyrenees, dated August 2, containing an account of the Spanish General's refusal to execute the capitulation of Collioure, added, "We trust that within fifteen days a general and decisive action will render us masters of the province of Catalonia, as the days of the 30th April and 1st May decided the fate of the Department of the Eastern Pyrenees. To announce to our brothers in arms the day of battle is to fix the day of victory. Two deserters from Bellegarde, who came in two days ago, and a third yesterday morning, agree in saying that the garrison is reduced to one fourth of a ration per day; that the scurvy makes great ravages, and that 400 are ill of it."
LONDON, August 26.
The Prince of SAXE-COBOURG still retains his position at Fouron-la-Compte. It appears, however, that he has received considerable reinforcements, for he has now an army, extending from Ruremonde to Monetoe-fur-Rucht, amounting to 80,000 men.
PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 31.
A marriage is said to be finally settled, with the consent of their Majesties, between his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and his first cousin the Princess of Brunswick. The Privy Council appointed to be held at Weymouth, and to which several of the members are gone down, is supposed to be for the ratification of this act.
LIVERPOOL, Aug. 21.
Whitehaven, Aug. 19. The grand fleet assembled at Spithead, under the command of Lord Howe, consists of 3 ships of one hundred and ten guns, 5 of ninety-eight, 2 of eighty-four, 21 of seventy-four, 1 of fifty, 1 of forty-four, 4 of thirty-two, 2 of twenty-eight, 2 of fourteen, 10 of eighteen, 3 five-ships, 1 floating battery, and 4 sloops and cutters.
SEPTEMBER 9.
THE BRITISH ARMY.
Camp near Burlikon, Sept. 3. Every thing remains perfectly quiet here, nor have we received the smallest molestation from the enemy since we reached our present ground. Many of the men wishing to make themselves as comfortable as possible, are busily employed in rearing huts to defend themselves from the rains. We have heard frequent firings in the direction of Breda, but have not been able to receive any intelligence from that quarter. This morning a grenadier of the Guards, who had gone out to cut some boughs to put round the tents, was fired at and killed by a peasant: He was buried in the afternoon, in front of the encampment.
Sept. 4. A report is very prevalent in camp, that the troops which were lately under the command of Earl MORA, are instantly to return home, and that they are to be replaced by 10,000 Austrians, who are to be under the immediate command of the Duke of YORK, a subsidiary treaty having been concluded between our Court, and that of Vienna.
Sept. 5. The firing in the neighbourhood of Breda still continues to be repeated at intervals, but we are still without any intelligence from that quarter, which induces us to believe that the enemy is there in considerable force. In fact, it appears, that we took our departure from thence just at the critical moment. Our ground of encampment is already very damp, and the effects are such as confirm the character we before learnt of it.
SEPTEMBER 10.
The line of communication between the Duke of YORK, and Gen. Clairfayt, is said to be uninterrupted. Jourdain, who has made advances with a view to break this line, has retreated back to his old position near Antwerp, on having acquired information of some powerful reinforcements received by the Austrian General. The French commander's force is represented at about 70,000 men, among whom, it is said, a most destructive dysentery rages, the influence of which the present weather must rather increase than diminish.
The strength of the British army, without the Dutch, whose principal force is now stationed near Gertruydenberg, is 32,000 men; those, it is said, will be joined before the 20th of this month by nearly an equal number of Austrians, fresh troops, who are to act under the Duke of YORK. Some suspicion attaches in the British army to the conduct of the late Commandant of Valenciennes, as the place is represented to have been in the best possible state of defence, and well provided for at least a month's siege.
The enemy, it is said, have sent a trumpeter to the Duke of YORK, informing his Royal Highness that the decree of the Convention, for giving no quarter to British troops, has been repealed.
It is said that the Spanish Ambassador has received accounts of the French having been completely checked in their approach towards Biscay. Report of yesterday even stated, that St. Sebastian and Fonterabia, have both been retaken. We do not, however, presume to speak with any confidence to this effect, though we entertain the best hopes on the subject, from the latest regular accounts on which we can depend.
Calo. has surrendered to the British arms, and the following vessels were captured there:— La Melpomene , 40 guns— La Mignonette , 28 guns; brig Auguste and brig Providence , of 4 guns— Callao , gun boat, of 3 guns.
SEPTEMBER 12.
On the 7th instant no intelligence whatever had reached the Hague from Breda. On the 6th, a strong cannonade, proceeding from the environs of Breda, was heard at Ramslonk; on the same day the Dutch out-posts retreated from Tetteringen, Hout, and Oosterhout, to the lines at Ramslonk; immediately after the French took possession of all those places, besides Haagje and Ginneke, so that Breda is now completely invested.
Letters from Thorn, of the 30th ult. state, that the Poles have invaded South Prussia in considerable force, and retaken the towns of Gnesen, Bizef, Nieslawa, Wloclawek, Sieradia, and Lissa. The Prussians who guarded those places were either obliged to surrender themselves prisoners to the Poles, or flee to Thorn, for which place the most serious apprehensions are entertained. The Poles seized an immense deal of plunder and the public chest.
SEPTEMBER 13.
The letters from Holland bring no particular news. Breda is in a manner invested by the French, who are advancing on all sides, but is still said, that the place, and all the frontiers, are well provided and in a good state of defence.
Private letters from the Head Quarters of Gen. CLAIRFAYT, say that the Combined Armies are about to recommence offensive operations against the enemy; and that there is no doubt, that, united as the Commanders now are in sentiment and good will, they will soon repossess themselves of those countries, which, it is at least allowed, were very weakly abandoned by the Prince of Cobourg. Gen. CLAIRFAYT's army will re-cross the Maese, and effect a junction with the Duke of YORK. The remainder of the campaign will be continued with the utmost vigour. The combined armies are near 150,000 strong.
All officers belonging to regiments at present in the West-Indies, have received orders from the War-office to join their respective corps forthwith.
IMPORTANT STATE PAPER.
[The following is the copy of a note which has been transmitted by the English Ministers to the Imperial Court.]
Because it is not equitable that the States of Austria alone should bear the expenses of the war, England, through unforeseen circumstances, finding itself disengaged from other alliances, it is the intention of the King of Great-Britain,
 I. That, during the present and the succeeding campaigns, subsidies will be granted for 100,000 men.  II. That the above-mentioned Ministers of Great-Britain are furnished with full powers for negotiating for the capital of this subsidy.  III. They will charge themselves with the incidental expenses.  IV. That conquests will be made in common.  V. That the Arch-Duke CHARLES shall be invested with the principal command, if he chooses to accept of it.  VI. That England will be bound as a principal for the payment of the subsidy, notwithstanding a third part of it is chargeable to Holland. 
The English Ministers add, that they hope this conduct will tend to effect a closer and more permanent alliance between the House of Austria and the maritime powers, an event which has been long wished for, and that, in respect to the importance of the Emperor's concern to prevent an incursion of the French into Italy, England, through those motives alone, would continue the payment of the subsidy to the King of Sardinia.
GLASGOW, Sept. 16.
The occurrences of the preceding week, have in a great measure, served to develop the future plans of the allies; have exhibited to our view, the internal situation of France, after the convulsion which produced the fall of Robespierre; have disclosed the determination of the Empire; and promulgated the sentiments of the imperial states with respect to the war.
To all who reflected for a moment on the subject, it was sufficiently obvious, that although Barrere, Billaud, Varennes, and the other Members of the Committee of Public Safety, had united with Tallien, and Collot d'Herbois, for the destruction of Robespierre, no great degree of cordiality subsisted between them. This became manifest soon after the execution of Robespierre, by occasional bickerings in the Convention, and by indirect insinuations thrown against Barrere, by Tallien's party. A trial of strength, at length took place. Lecointre, the adherent of Tallien, was pushed to denounce Barrere, and six other Members. Lecointre did not, however, succeed. The subject was resumed on the succeeding day, and specific charges were adduced. Each charge was separately debated, and all were dismissed. But the spirit of wrangling and discord, which seems still to pervade the deliberations of the Convention, affords ground to presume, that their dissensions will never be terminated but in the annihilation of one of the parties. The denunciation of Barrere, and the consequent tumults in the Convention, made little or no impression on the operation of the French armies. Conde, Quefnoy, Valenciennes and Sluys, surrendered to the Northern Army, Breda was invested, and the armies of the Eastern and Western Pyrenees, obtained successive victories at Fontarabia, St. Sebastian, and Bellegarde. Their victories in the province of Biscay, have induced the
government to put the inhabitants in a state of requisition.
The Emperor having now nearly exhausted his treasury in the prosecution of the war, Great-Britain has offered him a subsidy, to be employed in the maintenance of 100,000 men, who are to act offensively in the Netherlands. A new system of operations has already been adopted. The Prince of Cobourg has been replaced by Gen. CLAIRFAYT; and, according to letters received in London on Friday, an immediate attempt was to be made to effect a junction between his army and that of the Duke of York. His Imperial Majesty seems, however, to have found some difficulty in persuading the States of the Empire to furnish contingents; the King of Prussia, in particular, has refused to furnish any, alleging that he has already exhausted his resources, and that Poland requires his whole attention. This last apology appears, indeed, to be well founded, for great part of Polish Prussia has declared in favour of the patriots; and it is even said that his Prussian Majesty has been completely defeated before Warsaw. We shall close this recapitulation of foreign events, by mentioning a report which had reached London on Saturday night, that a revolution had taken place at Basle and Berne, in Switzerland.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.
Arrived ship Manchester , Capt. Cox, in 52 days from Liverpool.
Verbal accounts by the Manchester mention the capture of Sluys, Breda, Bergen-op-Zoom and Bilboa. The first is certainly taken—of the capture of the second there is said to be a Gazette account—the fall of the third was generally believed, and the surrender of the fourth rests upon report.
The Manchester brought dispatches from Mr. Jay to Government; the nature of their contents has not transpired; probably they contain nothing material or very satisfactory, or the public would not this day be ignorant as to their import; not unlikely royal etiquette may require the lapse of a period of six or eight weeks between each communication from a foreign minister, to give time for bows, dinners, compliments, kissing of hands, &c. if so, our merchants must exercise a little while longer the christian virtue—patience.
The London Gazette of the 1st of September, contains an account of the capture of Calvi [Corsica] dated Aug. 10. The garrison capitulated and marched out with the honors of war, retaining their side arms in consideration of their gallant defence. They were to be transported to Toulon. The British make their own loss as follows: one field officer, 1 captain, 3 subalterns, 25 rank and file killed; 1 field officer, 3 captains, 4 subalterns, 3 serjeants, 49 rank and file wounded.—Lt. Col. Senibaldi is the field officer killed; Lt. Col. Moore the field officer wounded.
Capt. M'Callum of the ship Catharine , in 38 days from Madeira, has furnished the Editor with the following list of American vessels left there, viz. brig George , Prowis , of New-Hampshire, to sail for Boston in 8 days; brig Polly , Palmer , of New-York, to sail in 5 days; brig Pallas , Allen , of Boston, for Alexandria in 8 days; brig Urania , Gore , of New-York, for the West-Indies; schooner Eagle , Kean , for Baltimore in 8 days; and the fch't Prince and Liberty , Prince , of New-York to sail in 10 days home.
Capt. M'Callum failed out in company with the brig Eliza of New-York, Capt. Goodrich, homeward bound, and the brig Enterprise , Ward of New-York for Tenerife.
Capt. M'Callum on the 21st of Sept. coming out spoke an English ship in company with 8 sail more he believes for the West-Indies. The captain of this ship informed him that he was 15 days from London; and that previous to his sailing accounts had arrived there from the continent. They confirmed the taking of Sluys by the French.
NEW-YORK, Nov. 6.
Intelligence is received from Brest, via Norfolk, of the "capture of all the homeward bound West-Indiamen, together with the men of war that was to convoy them. There are about 30 French frigates cruising between Ushant and Scilly."
[The above convoy consists of near 200 sail, and were spoke by Capt. Stevenon, from Petersturg to Philadelphia, in a distressed condition, having been out 9 weeks. They may have fallen into the hands of the French, as they were convoyed by only one 74, a 64, a frigate and sloop of war; and from their then situation, must have been unable to make any considerable opposition in case of an attack—They failed from Blue Fields the 26th July.]
THE Chevalier de Frenie was on Thursday presented by the Secretary of State, to the President, as Minister Resident of Her most faithful Majesty to the United States of America, and was received as such.
BOSTON, November 13.
From EUROPE—Direct.
By the ship Lydia from Lymington, arrived here yesterday, we have the following.
FRONTIER NEWS.
From Breda we have accounts to the 9th September, 10,000 French troops were at Ginneke, and 3000 were encamped four miles from the place. The French force now in the Barony of Breda, is said to be 40,000 strong. At the very date of the last accounts, an engagement was taking place before Breda.
Maefticht, Sept. 5.
The French are entrenching themselves about Bilsen. Head quarters of the Austrian army is removed to Herve, in order to keep up the communication with the corps who are stationed from Ruremonde to the Ourte.
General Clairfayt has refused to act as the successor of the Prince of Cobourg.
BRITISH ARMY.
Camp near Bois le Duc, Sept. 12.
The communication with Breda, and also with Maefticht, is still open.
Yesterday morning a French patrole, consisting of about 300 Chasseurs and 100 Yagers, came within a mile of Bois-le-Duc, on the side of Breda, and carried off a Dutch post of two officers and 16 dragoons, in sight of the town. A party was immediately ordered out to pursue them, but it could not come up with the French. A French hussar who was behind his party, was bro't in prisoner.
The invasion or attack of Holland, in a great measure depends on the fate of Maefticht.
BRITISH COMMERCE.
By the Decree of the National Convention, for destroying all British vessels that cannot be safely sent into port, a fatal blow will be given to the commerce of Great-Britain.
Letters from England to gentlemen in this town, some time since, make mention of the insurance on British property at Lloyd's Coffee-House, as being nearly stopped. Reports by the ship yesterday from Lymington, confirm the above: and add, that where the insurance has revived, it is at such an enormous rate that no commerce whatever can support.
Query.—Whole commerce is now "burning to the water's edge?"
We hear that about three thousand of the army are on their return from the western expedition. ( Phila. Pap. )
One thing is fact—When the Indians were lately defeated by General WAYNE, under the guns of the British fort, on the Miami's, they were refused succour or shelter from that fort. Call this by what name you will, it does not look like hostility.
Societies for giving relief and employment to the Emigrants from Europe, are forming in most of the States. Institutions of this nature, do honour to the age and country in which they are founded: They hold out to the wretched inhabitants of Europe a prospect of felicity which they can never contemplate in their native country—and
"To the self-banished man protection give, And teach the full'ring Emigrant to live."
It is with pleasure and avidity, we announce the increasing wealth and prosperity of our country.—In the town of Cheshire, in the county of Berkshire, one tree of which was not felled 30 years ago, there has been made this season one hundred and fifty thousand weight of Cheesec.
MARINE NEWS.
The 11th inst. arrived here the brig Katy Capt. RIDER, from Hamburg, in 54 days. When the Katy left Hamburg, there were near fifty American flags flying at that port. They had chiefly been to France.
A ship, a constant trader from London to Halifax, laden with goods to the amount of 27,000l. sterling has been captured by a French frigate, and sent into Cape-Ann. She is expected round here every hour.
Two ships and several brigs arrived yesterday: One of the ships is the Neptune , of this port, bound from Carolina to Europe; having sprung a leak, put in here to repair.
The brig Hannah and Eliza , of Charlestown, has been cast away in a hurricane at Guadaloupe, and is lost. She had some sugars on board. We are happy to hear, that none of the officers, or crew, are lost. Mr. Samuel Prince, was supercargo of the brig.
Capt. Follet, arrived here from Hull, was boarded in the bay, by a boat from the Thetis British frigate of 32 guns. She was looking after French frigates.

LENT by the subscriber some time ago, to perform some part in a play, a Bayonet and a Buff-Belt belonging to a high priced, neatly finished, officer's Fusée, the Bayonet was flat bladed, and had a spring in the socket to prevent it from being unlocked, and was highly polished. If the boy, his parents, or whoever has it in possession will return it, it will be esteemed a favour.

Portsmouth, Nov. 17.

NATIONAL CONVENTION, Aug. 31.
Two events of much public concern, have lately happened. On the 20th, the national magazine of de l'Unité, was consumed by fire, with 15,000lb of salt petre, and a valuable library; and on the last night, the powder manufactory at Grenelle, blew up with an explosion that shook all Paris. Some lives were lost. The former was accidental, the latter supposed to be designed.
SEPTEMBER 1.
NEW REBELS. About 1200 rebels have lately emerged from the woods near Nantz. They have as yet done but little mischief, and are pursued. They are called Chouans, (screech owls) from the affection they have for darkness and the woods.
FRONTIERS OF FRANCE.
VALENCIENNES AND CONDE.
In Valenciennes, when re-taken, were found 200 cannon, near a million pounds of powder, large magazines of valuables, and 1000 cattle, horses, &c.
Conde (now called Nord Libre) contained 161 pieces of cannon, 1606 men, 6000 muskets, 300,000lb powder, 100,000 balls, 1,500,000 cartridges, 500,000 weight lead, and six months provisions. The army against it contained 30 battalions and 15 squadrons; who, says Gen. Schoever "now demand orders to fly to new victories." The colours of both places have been sent to the Convention.
MAESTRICHT, Sept. 5.
This morning the Imperial garrison of Valenciennes passed through Wyk, over the boat-bridge, on their return to Germany, and some say, to the Polish frontiers.
BREDA, Sept. 9.
Yesterday a large party of French troops, said to consist of 10,000 men, appeared again at Ginneke. They had two four pounders with them, and repulsed our out-posts, who, though small in number, defended themselves in the best manner. The skirmishes lasted from five o'clock in the morning till two o'clock in the afternoon, when the French fell back from Ginneke, which is close to this fortress, with great order and regularity.
About 3000 Republicans are encamped at the distance of one league and a quarter from this place. The rest are cantoned on the heath near Garsbroek, where they have established their head-quarters.
The French have again re-established the bridge called the Devil's bridge, situate near the church of the village of Ginneke. Over this bridge, which had been broke down by our troops, a great force of Republicans is passing, in order to invest this place closer. The French force which is now in this Barony, is said to amount to 40,000 men.
P. S. An engagement is this moment taking place before this city.
FLUSHING, Sept. 13.
By the movements on account of the surrender of Sluys, the messengers have had great difficulty to pass and repass.
Axel and Hulst mean to hold out to the last extremity.
The peasants in general will bring no provisions to market but by compulsion.
A famine will inevitably ensue, and desolation be spread over that once rich and fertile country.

NORFOLK, Oct. 25.
On Wednesday arrived in Hampton roads the ship Sally, Capt. Clark, from Bremen, which place he left the 1st Sept. Capt. Clark informs, that the Prussians have actually withdrawn their forces, as well as the Austrians—that the only troops now left to cope with the French were the English and the Dutch—that the whole force of the British amounted to 61,000 men, and the Dutch had very few troops—that Lord Howe failed on the 11th September with his grand fleet for the Bay of Biscay—Captain Clark was spoke by one of a squadron of French frigates (ten in number) off the mouth of the Channel.
Monday the 17th of next month, being Norfolk County Court-day, a meeting will be held for the purpose of addressing a memorial to Congress on the subject of the British spoliations.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 1.
We are informed that the Federal troops are to rendezvous at Parkinson's Ferry, and that the greater part of them have already arrived.
Order restored in the Western Counties.
At a meeting of the Members of the Committee of Townships of the four Western Counties of Pennsylvania, and of several other citizens, held at Parkinson's Ferry, the 24th October,
The following resolutions were proposed and unanimously adopted:
1st. Resolved , That in our opinion, the civil authority is now fully competent to enforce the laws and to punish both past and future offences, in as much as the people at large are determined to support every description of civil officers in the legal discharge of their duty.
2d. Resolved , That in our opinion, all persons who may be charged or suspected with having committed any offence against the United States or this State, during the late disturbances (and who have not entitled themselves to the benefit of the act of oblivion,) ought immediately to surrender themselves to the civil authority, in order to stand their trial, that if there be any such persons amongst us they are ready to surrender themselves accordingly, and that we will unite in giving our assistance to bring to justice such offenders as shall not surrender.
3d. Resolved , That in our opinion, officers of inspection may immediately be opened in the respective counties of this survey, without any danger of violence being offered to any of the officers, and that the distillers are willing and ready to enter their stills.
Messrs. William Findley, David Redick, Ephraim Douglass, and Thomas Morton, were then appointed to wait on the President of the United States with the foregoing resolutions.
(Signed) JAMES EDGAR, Chairman.
Attest, Albert Galletin, Secretary.
Citizens of the army advancing to the Western Country.
Serious intimations are given me that I am considered by you, as greatly criminal in the late insurrection in this county, and that tho' I may have shielded myself from the law by taking advantage of the terms of the amnesty proposed by the commissioners, and sanctioned by the Proclamation of the President yet that I shall not escape the resentment of individuals. It would seem to me totally improbable that republican soldiers, would fully the glory of their voluntary rising, by a single intemperate act. Nevertheless, as it would wound me with exquisite sensibility, to be treated with insignity, by word, or looks, short of violence, I beg leave to suggest to you, that it is a maxim of reason that a man "shall be presumed innocent until the contrary is proved," and I give you a strong presumption of my innocence, viz: that though having the opportunity of relinquishing the country, I stand firm, and will surrender myself to the closest examination of the judges and put myself on the merit or demerit of my conduct, through the whole of the unfortunate crisis.

NEW-YORK.
WHITESTOWN, Oct. 29.
The Indian treaty at Canandurqua, we are informed by a gentleman directly from that place, moves on but slowly. One thousand Indians had collected on the 15th and on the 16th four hundred Seneca warriors came in. This formidable train of Seneca warriors, we are assured, had left their villages, and moved on several days marches to join the hostile Indians; but that they were overtaken by a runner, and informed of the treaty, upon which they immediately turned their course, and arrived as above stated. They are armed with the best of finished rifles.
ALBANY, Oct. 30. Last week 1500 stands of arms were shipped for Philadelphia, from the public stores in this city, in consequence of an order from the war department to Capt. Hudang, who has the charge of the military stores in this place.

CAPTURE OF BILBOA.
From New-York, Nov. 8.
We learn by Capt. Duff, who arrived last night from Teneriffe, that the French have taken Bilboa, and with it upwards of 50 vessels in the harbor. After the city was taken, they kept the Spanish colors flying, which decoyed in a number of vessels.
The French have also taken Leogane and St. Marks, and have put the garrison to the sword.
Description of BILBOA.
Bilboa, the capital of Biscay in Spain, lies at the conflux of the river Nauzo and Ybañabel about 105 miles west of Andaeia (a French town opposite to Puenterabia, on the right bank of the Bidassoa.)
It is the neatest city of all Spain, contains about 10,000 inhabitants, and its situation on the banks of a navigable river, which empties itself twelve miles below Bilboa, into the Bay of Biscay, renders it a considerable place of trade.
The capture of Bilboa by the French, proves that the French General knows how to seize and to use with skill the advantages of a decisive victory; without giving the Spaniards time to recover from their panic, he summoned the strong Fortress of Puenterabia, and frightened it to a capitulation; he took the spacious Post du Passage, appeared before St. Sebastian, and the whole garrison laid down their arms at the feet of the republicans. Convinced that an enterprising genius is always sure of success in the most hazardous and apparently impracticable expeditions, and knowing that all the obstacles which nature or art had thrown in his way, were removed by the confidence of the Spaniards in the natural strength of their country, he endeavoured to render the terror more general; he pushed eighty eight miles further into the remotest parts of Biscay, and the rapidity with which this march was performed, and some other circumstances, give us much reason to suppose that Bilboa was taken by a coup de main, and without the least opposition on the part of the Spaniards.
In this case the loss of the enemy must be reckoned double, and the advantage which result from this conquest to the republic, encreases in the same proportion.
Porto Galletta and Porto d'Algofta, seven miles below Bilboa, situate on the same river, and opposite each other must share the same fate as the capital.
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, to a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated August 27th, 1794.
"The Fame, Capt. Davis, an American ship, which had laden with tobacco in Rappahannoc river, for this port, was taken ten days ago by a French frigate; but Capt. Davis and his men rose upon the French prize-master and his crew, retook her, and brought her in safe yesterday. Capt. Davis says he saw the Captain of the French frigates orders, which were to take all American vessels bound to England or else where, without respect to their cargoes. This will be a serious matter for the Americans."
Private letters by the Snow Cleopatra, Capt. Ethridge, 56 days from Plymouth to Philadelphia, mention, that the Duke and Dutchess of Northumberland were taken prisoners and carried into France.
For the Information of the Merchants.
THE Committee having been notified by the Secretary of State, that the Agent of claims and appeals appointed by the President of the United States is to be embarked immediately for London, and that he is authorised to bind the United States under the direction of Mr. Jay, for the costs and damages attending the prosecution of the claims of American citizens, that the necessary counsel will be engaged on the part of the United States; and that if the parties will obtain copies of the proceedings of the Courts on their respective cases; the expence of the records will be reimbursed by the United States.
They are of opinion that measures ought to be immediately taken for obtaining authenticated copies of such records and proceedings in all cases where they have not already been procured, and will undertake to obtain them for all such of their fellow citizens as shall within twenty days from this date furnish the names of the vessels and masters in the ports or places where tried or condemned, with other information as the circumstance of the case may require.
They recommend to those who have already obtained the copies of the proceedings of the Courts to have them examined by some person of legal knowledge—that if they should be found defective in any respect, the deficiency may be supplied at the same time that the records are applied for.
In behalf of the Committee, THOMAS FITZSIMONS.

GENOA.
Mr. Tilly, the French Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Genoa, has been formally dismissed by that Republic, and his credentials returned to him. The combined powers therefore, have a preponderating influence with the Genoese; and it is not improbable they may be induced to join the confederacy against France.
Congress of the United States. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Friday, Nov. 7.
A Committee of election was appointed. Mr. Mercer's letter of resignation was read, and a return received by which it appears that Gabriel Duval is elected to supply the vacancy.—These were referred to the committee of election.
The Senate not having formed a quorum, adjourned till Monday.

The number assembled not being sufficient to constitute a quorum to do business, the Senate adjourned to 11 o'clock to-morrow morning.
The recent intelligence from the Patriotic Army, is of such a nature as excites the mingled emotions of sympathy, admiration, and pleasure, in the mind of every man who feels himself an American.
What cannot the love of country do? What obstacles are insurmountable to men engaged in such a cause? Monuments more durable than marble or brass are erected to their honour—the Love and Gratitude of their Country.
