JULIA CALYON.
A Woman of Bayeux, a friend of CHARLOTTE CORDE, is eager to follow her footsteps, and to deserve the same fate. The following letter from her, addressed to the female citizen TISON, at the hotel of the post Amiens, dated July 26, furnishes an ample proof of her resolution.
"My dear TISON, the courageous CORDE, whom you know, and whose friendship honours me, has just inflicted death on the ruffian MARAT.—this heroic action elevates my soul, and gives me courage. I shall set out this day to join you; we will go together to Paris. My intention is to imitate my worthy friend, by stabbing the villain CHABOT, who invented, I am told a new punishment for that modern Judith. As the men of this age are so dastardly, a sex which has always been thought weak, ought to arm, and rid the land of liberty, of banditti and anarchists, who desolate it. Waiting the pleasure of seeing thee, I embrace thee."
(Signed) "JULIA CALYON."
PORTAIT OF DUMOURIER,
By M. DE VIETTE, A French officer, who served several years with him.
IF the character of this man is extraordinary, his person is not destitute of originality.
Genius seems to animate his features, which on the whole, are neither regular nor agreeable.
His body is small and diminutive.
His eye is lively, and full of fire, his hair was brown, it is becoming grey.
When he speaks, his head and his arms are agitated; and he often raises his body on the point of his foot.
His gate precipitate and irregular; he changes his physiognomy at pleasure.
He has a small hand, and wants a finger; but this does not prevent him from grasping at a large object.
When I was acquainted with him, he breakfasted the moment he arose, and always dined with a good appetite. It was remarked, however, that he was very dainty in choice of his viands.
After drinking coffee, he generally fell asleep muttering an epigram or a couplet.
On waking, he loved to make a party at cards.
If he had plenty of money, he went constantly to the comedy. When there, I always beheld him behind the scenes disputing precedence with the mock monarchs of the theatre, and rumpling the handkerchiefs of the godesses.
Acceptation of the Constitution by the People.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, AUG. 3.
GOSVUIN—"The Edifice of Liberty is finished: Erected by the hands of the people, it will be lasting. A republican constitution, the symbol of virtue and happiness, succeeds a monstrous Constitution, worshipped more than ever by aristocracy, and most violently protected by the cannons of Kings. Citizens, the destructive genius of the Cabinet of St. James's has also endeavoured to circulate its poison in the Primary Assemblies. Some, but luckily few in number, have been infected with it: Almost the majority of their members have voted against the acceptance of the Constitution. Men returned from London, Madrid, Vienna, and Berlin, had the audacity to introduce themselves, especially in the district of Lyon le Saulnier , in the department of Jura and in some other departments, of which the Administrators have revolted.
"But the most convincing proof which can be given to the whole Universe, relative to the well-expressed wish of the people of France for the form of government it adopts, is, out of 44,000 Commonalities
which compose the Republic, and which offer an immense population, the Commonality of St. Donan , making part of the Primary Assembly of the Canton of Dlouvara , district of St. Brieux , on the coasts of the North, consisting of only twenty inhabitants, was the only one that demanded the Son of CAPET for their King, and the restoration of the Clergy. All the other Commonalities felt the utmost indignation; and that of Donan , with one IVES LOTELIER at their head, retired with menaces, and digested separately their minutes of proceedings, which have not reached your commission.
"The single point which ought to fix your attention, is to fix the epoch when the election of the deputies of the new National Assembly is to take place. A few Primary Assemblies demand it with as much acrimony as if they were not disposed to let you assist the Civic Feast in your character of Representatives of the people.
"Part of the Primary Assemblies discussed and accepted the Constitution with calm resignation.
" Confica , a prey to Aristocracy, could not receive it.
"In Lavendae , twenty-one Primary Assemblies have met, and followed the example of the rest of the Republic.
The number of Primary Assemblies in the department of the North amounts to 184. The majority has taken place. The foreign powers who invade that territory have prevented the convocation of the rest, especially in the District of Valenciennes , Lille , Bavay , Marchiennes , and Orchies .
"The inhabitants of your vast frontiers, in general, have been very eager to accept unanimously the Constitution. Although the enemy were at their gates, they announced their acceptance by a discharge from the ramparts, and found means to send their instruments of acceptance to the Convention. The armies in the camp, or in the face of the enemy, did the same.
"All the popular societies, the majority of the constituted bodies, sent to the Convention, addresses which will prove to future ages how much Republicanism swayed, in its cradle as it were, the minds of French freemen."—Applause.
The Convention ordered this report to be printed, and delivered to the Envoys of the Primary Assemblies.
Celebration of the Grand Federation of France.
PARIS AUG. 11. The Fete of the 10th of August was yesterday performed. The order of march was planned by the artist DAVID, and was very regularly executed.
The place where the Bastille stood was the place of meeting—the hour, four in the morning.
The National Convention, and the eighty-six old men, recognized by the commissioners of the primary assemblies, entered the place of the Bastille by the gate of the Boulevards .
The National Assembly met before the fountain of Regeneration, as well as the eighty-six elders, who occupied the one side. Their distinguishing mark was a three coloured ribbon. To the deputies were given bouquets of thorns—to the elders, an olive-branch, and a lance marked with the name of their respective department.
The deputies and the eighty-six elders provided themselves from the inspectors of the hall with bouquets and distinctive marks. Upon entering the gate of the Bastille , those who had not provided themselves received these distinctive badges.
The ceremony commenced with a song expressive of the return of the day. The President of the National Convention sprinkled the soil of liberty—he then presented the cup to the eighty-six elders, calling them by the name of their departments.—During this symbolic act of regeneration, a hymn was sung to Nature: Each time a representative drank, a discharge of artillery took place.
The procession directed its march by the Boulevards , where direction posts were planted to shew the point of meeting—1st,
of the primary assemblies; 2dly, of the National Convention, who, in coming out in a body from their hall, were surrounded by the bond of unity and indivisibility represented by the eighty-six elders holding a three coloured ribbon; 3dly, of the general mass of the commissioners, to whom at their post was distributed a branch of olive; 4thly, of the respectable body of the people, of whom each carried the emblems of his trade, and on their flags were inscribed age, innocence and misfortune, honoured —the citizens marched ten abreast; 5thly, a military groupe dragged a car carrying an urn, in which were supposed to be deposited the ashes of heroes who have died gloriously for their country—the parents of those heroes encircled the car, holding in their hands a crown of flowers—the car was preceded by martial music.
The procession passed by the bridge of revolution, quay of Grenovilliere , an avenue which led to the place of invalids, where was erected a monument; representing, of a colossal form, the French people trampling upon federalism.
A discharge of artillery announced the passage of the procession: It entered the Champ de Mars by the side of the military school, where they found suspended the National Level , the symbol of equality.
Here the procession separated into two columns which filed off to the right and left of the altar of the country. In passing they did homage with their different attributes of industry, and ranged themselves in the plain of re-union.
The PRESIDENT gave the fraternal kiss to the Heroines of the 5th and 6th of October, and presented them with a branch of laurels. They were seated upon pieces of heavy ordnance.
The eighty-six Elders ranged themselves close to the statue of liberty. Every standard-bearer came to deposit his colours around the Pedestal. The insignia of royalty, brought in carts, were thrown upon billets of wood.—The PRESIDENT then tore aside the veil which covered the statue of liberty, and its solemn inauguration took place, amidst a general discharge of artillery, and the singing of a hymn composed for the occasion.
Afterwards the Elders, carrying torches, set fire to the billets. After this, a second discharge of artillery announced the continuance of the march.
The PRESIDENT of the Convention, accompanied by the Secretaries and the 86 Elders, ascended the altar, whilst the members of the Convention, and those of the primary assemblies, occupied its steps.
The PRESIDENT proclaimed the reception of the votes from the primary assemblies, of the acceptance of the constitution, which was announced to the people by a general discharge of artillery, and the oath to defend it was taken.
After the administration of the oath, the 86 Elders advanced towards the PRESIDENT, and delivered to him the faeces which they bore in their hands, and which the PRESIDENT tied together with a tri-coloured ribbon.
He deposited the act of the constitution under the arch—He then consigned the arch, with the faeces , to the commissioners of the Primary Assemblies, to be kept by them till the following day, then to be deposited in the place of the sitting of the National Convention.
The urn with the ashes, crowned by the President of the Convention, was deposited in the temple erected in honour of the Heroes of the Country, the music playing a solemn dirge.
Embraces terminated this scene.
The people then abandoned themselves to joy. At ten o'clock a discharge of artillery was the signal for the commencement of a pantomime, entitled, " The Bombardment of the city of Lisle ."
DEAL, SEPT. 12.
Prince Adolphus, who landed this morning, in the Brilliant frigate, commanded by Capt. Robinson, has bro't with him a list of 83 officers killed in the late action. The 14th has suffered more severely than any other British regiment.—The artillery left by our troops, it is said, was not even spiked up.
By the Jerusha , Capt. Bradford, in 36 days from Oporto.
BRUSSELS, Sept. 3.
LOUIS PHILLIP JOSEPH EGALITE, formerly Duke of Orleans, having, it is said, been delivered by the Marseillois to the Commandant of the Spanish fleet, the latter immediately had him put in chains and thrown down into the hold of one of the ships of war.
LONDON, Sept. 14.
Whitehall, Sept. 12.
THE following dispatch from Col. Sir JAMES MURRAY, Adjutant-General to the forces under the Command of his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, was this evening received by express at the office of the Rt. Hon. HENRY DUNDAS, his Majesty's principal Secretary of State for the Home Department.
Furnes, Sept. 10, 1793.
SIR, I have the honour to inform you that in consequence of information received this morning from Ypres , stating that that important place was attacked, and that it stood in need of immediate assistance, his Royal Highness determined to go to its relief. The troops were already marched, when intelligence was received of the enemy having fallen back to Bailleul . This retreat seems to have been occasioned by a successful attack, which was made on the 8th, by Gen. BEAULIEU, upon their posts near Lille .
In consequence of this, the troops have returned to their former camp. I have the honour to be, with the greatest respect Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant.
JA. MURRAY.
Rt. Hon. HENRY DUNDAS, &c.
The fortress of Quefnoy , it was strongly reported at Ostend , has surrendered to the Prince of Saxe Cobourg. The Bulletin from that army comes down only to the 4th inst. at which time the second parallel was nearly completed. The details include no circumstance of moment.
TOULON.
Dispatches were yesterday evening received by Government, containing accounts of the surrender of Toulon to the joint fleets of their Britannic and Spanish Majesties.
A body of forces were landed by Lord Hood on the 28th ultimo, which took possession of the town and works, and which were immediately joined by the Royalists. The French fleet took refuge in the inner harbor, and the British fleet took possession of the outer.
The French fleet surrendered soon after, upon condition that the Admiral's ship should be suffered to leave the harbor.
An extraordinary Gazette, containing the particulars of this affair, will be published this afternoon.
Extract of a letter from Ostend Sept. 11.
"I mentioned to you in my letter of yesterday, that Prince Adolphus intended to proceed to England. He sailed yesterday in the Brilliant , and will certainly be arrived before this reaches you. There are no certain accounts yet received of the extent of Gen. BEAULIEU's success in his attack upon the French.
"It is reported here, that he killed 3000, and took near 2000 prisoners. He is also said to have taken thirty-two pieces of cannon. The victory was certainly complete, and the French retreated with precipitation to Bailleul and Armenberes —In their panic they are said to have let go some sluices to prevent the pursuit, by which a great number of them were drowned.
"Every person in the Duke of York's army, which I have just left, is in the highest spirits; and vigorous preparations are making for continuing the operations of the Campaign.
" Beaulieu has not yet joined the Duke's army, but is expected to-morrow; and the Prince SAXE COBOURG will also send reinforcements as soon as the siege of Le Quefnoy is terminated, which it is expected will take place very soon, as it was deter-

mined to attack that city by assault yesterday or this day.—In short, every thing now wears the pleasantest aspect; and I have no doubt that I shall be able to send you very good accounts soon.
“The army then attacked General FREYTAG was composed almost entirely of troops of the line, sent from the banks of the Mozelle and the Rhine , and commanded by Gen. HOUCHARD. He is said to have been killed at Popebinghe , and his army to have suffered considerably.
On Thursday night, Prince Adolphus arrived, incog. at the Hanoverian Office, Bury-Street St. James's from the British Camp before Dunkirk.
DUKE OF YORK'S DEFEAT.
TO consider the check of the Duke of YORK's army before Dunkirk , as an irremediable misfortune, on the one hand—or to pass it over, as one of those unfavourable events which may be immediately remedied on the other—is, in our opinion, preserving an equal distance from the truth. The ill-success of this attempt upon Dunkirk , appears to have arisen from an impetuosity in his Royal Highness, which some have attributed to too eager a desire to attain the honour of taking the place, before any Austrian Commander should arrive to share it with him: But be that as it may; Whenever an army receives a check in its operations, it must be considered as a misfortune; whenever a large portion of men are lost in an engagement, especially when victory does not indemnify the loss, who will not lament it as a misfortune? When such an officer as Col. MONCRIEF falls, and at such a moment as he unfortunately fell, the misfortune may be great indeed, because it may be irreparable.—But all these unfortunate circumstances, which have befallen our army in Flanders , even in their aggregate state, cannot be considered with such a serious and alarming concern, as the unspeakable encouragement they will afford to the French nation; and we must well know the pains that will be taken, and the arts that will be employed, to propagate the event in all the forms of turbulent exultation. We can foresee the manner in which the retreat, however temporary it may be, of the Duke of York, will be represented to the French people; and we are not without our fears, that it may have such an effect upon them, as may increase, or render more obstinate, the obstacles of peace; because, tho' the late misfortune may be soon retrieved, and as the Prince of COBOURG by the capture of Quiesnay , is now at liberty to join in the siege of Dunkirk , we have a real expectation of its yielding, before the conclusion of the campaign, to the British arms; yet the effect of their late success, will be instantaneous throughout the French nation, and will not only invigorate their patience under calamity but their courage to pursue the means which they are taught to believe will relieve them from it.
PERPIGNAN, † August 12.
The Spaniards have got possession of Ville-Franche , † and are marching to attack Mont-Louis §— Ville-Franche surrendered the 4th inst. The garrison, which was very small, was made prisoners of war.
Aug. 22. Since the taking of Ville-Franche , the enemy has marched to Mont Libre . The two divisions of the Spanish army which occupied the former place and Cardagne , are to act in concert against Perpignan , which is provided with every necessary for an obstinate resistance. General CRESPO directs the siege. A successful sortie has been made by the garrison against the Spanish camp at Perch .—The Spaniards were completely defeated.
† A strong city, the capital of Roussillon , situated on the river Tet . 99½ leagues from Toulon , and 228 from Paris .
‡ A strong city of Roussillon , situated between two mountains, on the river Tet , about ten leagues to the west of Perpignan .
§ A strong town of Roussillon , with a good citadel, situated in the Pyrenees , on an eminence, which commands the bridge over the Tet , about 15 leagues from Perpignan .
PARIS, September 2.
Proclamation.
To the FRENCH CITIZENS on the RHINE. August 22, 1793, 2d Year of the French Republic,
To arms, Republicans! to arms! “THE Representatives of the People with the armies of the Rhine, and the General in Chief, denounce to all the nations of the earth, the abominable outrages of the barbarous Austrians and the cowardly Emigrants.
“At the village of Borhbach , these
monsters thrust out the eyes of a school-master, an apostle of liberty and equality, and cut off the hands of a virtuous young man, who had planted the tree of liberty, and who is since dead of his wounds.
“At the village of Steinwaller , these authropophagi cut open the breasts of a mother who was suckling her child.
“At the village of Barbelrodt , these outrageous cannibals murdered, in the arms of her affligated husband, a young woman six months gone with child.
“At the village of Caudel , these ruffians massacred an invalid and two labourers.
“In all the villages to which they have been able to penetrate, they have marked their course by murder and pillage.
“Men, feeling and generous, who mourn over the evils of the human race, mark the deplorable effects of the scourge of war. Would you annihilate forever the destructive source of battles; rise as one man; arm; join the intrepid defenders of the Republic. As long as Kings and tyrants shall exist, by whatever name they may be called, the earth will be always wet with the blood and the tears of unfortunate men. Let us exterminate Kings and Royalty, Tyrants and Tyranny. Let us cut off from the number of the living, the vile fatelites, who will not be our brothers.
“Oh ye! inhabitants of the Frontiers! Be the first to rise. Set an illustrious example, that will soon be followed by all men worthy to be free.—You, especially, simple and virtuous inhabitants on the Rhine, recollect that your ancestors, armed only with their instruments of agriculture, dug graves in Alsace for a horde of 40,000 Austrians.
“Already 6000 of your brethren have thrown themselves into the passes of Niederbronn and Bœrenthal , to make a rampart of their bodies against the fury of slaves.
“Already a legion of husbandmen, of the Canton of Fort Vauban , is in arms to defend that important post; and you, inhabitants des Vosges , you will not yield in courage to your generous neighbours. Let the inhabitants of each village prepare their fowling-pieces, wet their fatal scythes, and provide food for eight days. The armies of the Republic burn to share with you the palms of victory.
“The dreadful tocsin of liberty is going to be sounded 48 hours. Strike dead the dastardly or perfidious enemy of the people, who refuses to mix in your ranks; let the property of all such be confiscated for the benefit of the brave citizens who shall fly to avenge humanity.
The Representatives of the People wait only for you to punish the Despots, and save the Republic.
“J. B. MILHAUD, RUAMPS BORIF, General in Chief.
“LANDREMONT, in the name of the Army of the Rhine.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 4.
Saturday last the President of the United States arrived at Germantown from his seat in Virginia .
We hear with pleasure that Mr. Hamilton, the Secretary of the treasury, is at Germantown , in good health.
This forenoon the markets were crowded with provisions of every kind in great plenty—the citizens are returning fast to their habitations, which have been unfrequented for some weeks.
Reports of to-day, with regard to the general health of the city, are flattering and very satisfactory.
NEW-YORK, November 6. FRENCH FLEET.
The Lt. La Bourdonnaye, commanding the advice-boat Le Cers , arrived on Monday in this port, and delivered to Citizen Genet, dispatches from Rear Admiral Sercey, which informed him, that an insurrection had broken out on board the Jupiter , where are still some mutinous spirits; that that ship had sailed for France ; and that the Eole , induced by this sad example, had also risen and forced the Rear Admiral to follow the Jupiter . The Rear Admiral was very much affected with this event, but he had not, however, lost all hope of seeing tranquility restored, and order re-established.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in this city, dated November 1, 1793.
“I send you glad tidings! Two days ago a white flag was displayed at Bush-Hill , in token of convalescence; and yesterday all the carts which were employed to carry the sick to the hospital, were discharged. The frosts we have had for several nights together, nearly healed the city, and the plentiful rain, which began about noon yesterday, and still continues,
will by the blessing of God, perfect the cure, and poor Philadelphia shall yet be spared. It is probable a few days will bring us 20 or 30,000 of our citizens back to their habitations, and the gloomy clouds of melancholy depopulation shall vanish away. For three months we have had scarce any other business, but making coffins, digging graves and burying the dead—The scene has been so truly distressing, that my heart melts, and my eyes overflow, when I review what we have passed through.”
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Marietta, to his friend in Middletown, (Con.) dated Sept. 28, 1793.
“General Wayne marched for the Indian Country about ten days ago, at the head of about 3500 regular troops, and 1500 Kentucky militia; what his fate will be is very doubtful—expect to hear in about six weeks.”
BALTIMORE, Oct. 24.
A letter of Aug. 16, from an American gentleman in Liverpool , to his friend in Halifax . (N.C.) says, “Several American vessels have been chartered, to load at Bordeaux for Hispaniola ; two of them are sent in here by privateers, and the cargoes, being, undoubtedly, French property, will be condemned. Our vessels meet with great detention in this business; but when the cargo is condemned, the freight is paid agreeably to the charter-party, and the ship at liberty to take another. The owners of British privateers are considerable sufferers by their Captains capturing American vessels, with American property; they have been obliged to compensate for the detention: It will make them cautious how they interrupt our Commerce. The convulsions in the commercial and manufacturing towns are abated, and with the success of the combined armies in Flanders , may have a tendency to render the war more popular. There has been great tardiness in sending out vessels to protect the trade of this country, attributed by Ministerialists to absent large fleets of merchantmen, now homeward bound, the seamen from whom would be sufficient to man a respectable fleet: by others, it is said to proceed from an incompetency in the present Board of Admiralty.”
NEW-YORK, Nov. 4.
We learn from Charleston (S.C.)—That letters have been intercepted by the Governor of Virginia ; by which it appears, that there were plans concerting for a general insurrection of negroes in the Southern states: that emissaries were expected from St. Domingo , to assist and even to take the lead in this infernal business. We further learn, that such had actually arrived: and that they were prevented from landing, by the measures which had been adopted at a meeting of the citizens, for that and other purposes; that the committee was directed to request the Governor to take immediate measures to prevent any future introduction of negroes and people of colour, from that colony; and clear the state of all those who have arrived from there, or from any other place, within twelve months, and to request the Revenue Cutter may be stationed so as to contribute to carry such measures into effect.
A correspondent observes, that the prognostic of a storm, are clearly apparent in our political horizon, but contrary to what the appearance is commonly supposed to indicate, it is shrewdly conjectured, that the shooting of a STAR* might secure the tranquility of the hemisphere.
* Citizen GENET.
Arrived here the 1st inst. brig Mary , Capt. Aaley, in 52 days from London , and the ship Mercury , Capt. Grenold, in 54 days from Have-de-grace .
These vessels do not bring so late accounts as were before received. EIGHTY passengers came in the Mary , from London ; being fatigued of the infernal imposition of the government, they seek for an asylum of liberty and peace. It was impossible for any one to know the truth respecting the war—so indefatigable are the ministerialists in the art of deception. Not a pilot could be got in the Downs for the vessels bound to the siege of Dunkirk —twenty odd of them had been put in confinement for refusing to go. Several TOTAL embarkations of ROYAL ENGLISH troops had been cut off—and it is not believed but that the French will brave their millions of foes, and finally triumph in the permanent establishment of the rights of man—liberty and equality.
“Ruffians live by sedition, and the People by repose,” says M. BRISSET—The pupil of this persecuted Patriot, will, it is hoped, feel the full force of the assertion, and practice on it.
BOSTON,
NOVEMBER 11.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his friend in this town.
“Since I have touched on politics, I will give you a state of this nation in a few words, that if our abominable plan of Government with all its corrupt appendages, is not totally changed, the nation is inevitably lost.—While I deplore the measures of Ministry in carrying on the War against the Rights of Man, to the destruction of the nation, it is with infinite pleasure that I see the Americans watchful of their liberties; The manly and energetic language delivered in the New-York Register, the National Gazette, the Independent Chronicle, and in many other Republican papers which you have sent me, on the measures of your Federal Government, is characteristic of the American freemen; but in this unhappy country we dare not (at present) say that we hold our properties independent of the Crown. The officers of Government carry their authority to a high pitch; they strain every nerve of power to prevent discussion; but notwithstanding all their cursed schemes TYRANTS and TYRANNY MUST FALL. I frequently see our friends S——N, G——Y, T——Y, and others, whom you know, were opposed to a war with the Colonies; they are all, with many other good whigs, firmly of the same opinion, as respects a war with the French Republic; because our manufacturing and commercial interests which are the vitals of the kingdom, lie bleeding at every pore; while the French have every thing to hope, and nothing nor nobody to fear. We are struggling hard on this side the Atlantic, to better our condition as men, who are above the level of the brute creation, with something more than the name of liberty; but you see we don't lose sight of what your people are about.
“By the aid of the newspapers you sent, we are enabled to take a retrospective view of our public affairs. The decency and freedom with which your people canvass the principles of their constitution, and examine the conduct of their public servants, furnish us with a grand example for imitation, which we are careful to embrace; but at the same time, we are lead to suppose, that these warm debates arise out of the many imperfections of ADMINISTRATION. Some schemes may prove injurious to your peace and welfare. Your enemies speak boldly and with exultation of your Indian war, Funding and Bank Systems. “They will do (says Pitt), what the fleets and armies of Britain could not accomplish; they will enslave them: While the first entangles them in a heavy debt, the other two will spread luxury and dissipation through all parts of their country, and gain many friends in their Government, who will be firmly attached to the continuance of these schemes.”
FROM FRANCE.
The French papers received down to the last of August, make no mention of the pretended embargo, laid in all the ports of France, on vessels of the United States; they speak only of a decree, passed in the beginning of August, which prohibits the exportation of objects of the first necessity. This decree must necessarily have retarded the departure of American vessels, because in those objects are comprised, besides liquors and provisions, soap, hemp, leather, iron, copper, cloths, linens and other articles, in which consists the returns of Americans. The agents of the United States immediately sent from different ports of France; deputations to Paris, and there is no doubt but our nation will obtain in this circumstance, the same exemption which has been pronounced in her favor, in all the decrees occasioned by the system of neutrality, adopted for the different powers.
“This decree, whose disposition is of a nature truly extraordinary, when we consider the immense product of the French manufactures, was, as well as that which pronounced the extinction of the seven hundred millions of assignats, the natural result of the discovery which was made, of the plots which the government of St. James was forming in the bosom of the Republic. It appeared by several of the seized papers, that the immense sums of money, which the infamous Pitt extorted by his loans, from his blind nation, was employed in forestalling all the aforementioned articles, and all those which by their scarcity, might occasion insurrections among the people. These horrid words were found in a letter, “Raise to the highest price possible, by means of forestalling, every article most necessary to the common people: In three weeks soap must cost a hundred sous a pound, and other commodities in proportion.”

ENGLISH.
Extract from the Log-Book of the Brig Ca- det, arrived at Salem.
Oct. 6th 1793, lat. 28. 30. long. 68. 25, at six A. M. saw a sail bearing N. W. at 7 hove too, that she might speak to me; she proved to be an English letter of marque, belonging to Liverpool, but last from N. Providence, owned by Messrs. Wm. and James Moss, and commanded by Cornelius Caley, whose lieutenant's name was Wm. Smith, and the ship's the Chambley, burthen 224 tons:—They, not shewing any colours, ordered me to hoist out my boat, and sent their lieut. with several sailors to rummage the vessel; which they effectually did, by breaking, plundering, and stealing, from all the boxes, chests, and trunks they could lay their hands on; and, to give a more courageous appearance to their villainy, they threatened to shoot me by presenting cocked pistols to my breast, and flourishing swords over my head. They then proceeded to broach our provisions; took a number barrels of bread, beef and pork from us, robbing me of all my small stores, taking knives, forks and spoons; depriving us of our maps, not leaving even a chart of the coast, on board; and with difficulty we retained our quadrants; This not contenting these miscreants, they tore open our hatches, broke the combings, let them lay open to the weather, notwithstanding it blew fresh and rained very hard, that a large quantity of water poured into the hold, which we were prevented from pumping for several hours, while their boat was continually passing and repassing from the brig to the ship, loaded with plunder.
We had, previous to our meeting with this pirate, been taken and carried into St. Christopher's, where we had been examined by the admiralty, and obtained our discharge, without any loss; and also a passport, which we produced to the Capt. of the ship without any effect:—we also having the former prize-master on board, who took passage with us for Salem, they swore we had bribed him, murdered the crew, and ran away with the vessel out of St. Christopher's, and that they would hang us at the main yard arm. I then told him to proceed whither he chose with the brig, as I hove her on his hands, and would not accept her any more; furthermore telling him, to complete his character, he wanted nothing but to hoist the black flag. They then proceeded to further injuries, broke the caboose, stoved the boat, and let the sails hang unfurled, flapping to pieces in heavy squalls, and damaged our rigging very much. But the most inhuman part of this scene was, their treatment of an unfortunate sick gentleman, a marchant from Point Petre, who was a passenger on board of us: they plundered him of every thing; wearing apparel, stores, and even of those articles that were necessary to one in his situation: They took from him a trunk of cloaths, valued at 150 Johannes; also a purse of 25 Johannes and six crowns, and to grace their barbarity with what would make savages blush, they plundered the sheets from under him as he lay languishing with sickness, and pulled him from his bed. Four or five days after, he departed this life, and we committed him to the sea, presuming the necessaries he had been deprived of, with the more than savage treatment he had met with from these barbarians, had hastened his exit. After experiencing the vile treatment, with every species of abuse and insult; after being pillaged and robbed, my rigging damaged, and not having a square sail on board, in this miserable plight, the Captain of the ship refusing to supply me with either sails or rigging, told me to make the best of my way; night coming on, and the Captain of the ship being still on board the brig, ordered his Lieutenant to steer to the eastward till morning: at day light he again ordered his Lieutenant to hoist out the boat and bring him on board, telling me, as I suppose still more to mortify me, he had concluded to send me to N. Providence, where Dunmore, being a friend to the Americans, would condemn me, right or wrong. However at length, after detaining me 45 hours out of my course. I left him, with my colours flying half mast, significant, of distress. DANIEL PIERCE.
FRENCH.
We learn from Salem that Capt. BENJ. HENDERSON, master of a brig belonging to Wm. GRAY, jun. Esq. has arrived there, and informs, that on his passage from Martinico, he was boarded by the French privateer, Citizen Genet, fitted out at Charleston, S. C. and commissioned by the French Minister, whose name she bears,
the crew of which robbed him of near 800 dollars, and many other articles—And not content with this, on the Captain's shewing his displeasure at such piratical and raically treatment, they tied him to one of their guns, flogged him severely, and treated him with the most abusive language.
Proper information will, no doubt, be given to the Executive of the United States, of the above two instances of piracy and inhumanity—And the Captains called to testify to the outrages on oath.
NOVEMBER 14.
LATE
Important Intelligence,
DIRECT FROM FRANCE.
Tuesday evening arrived in this port, schooner—, Capt. RUNEY, in 45 days from Havre-de-Grace. By this arrival we have received a file of Paris papers, &c. up to the 22d. of September. The late hour, however, last evening at which we were favored, by a French gentlemen, with these papers, rendered it totally impossible to give a full translation from them, for this day. They are now in the hands the translator, and copious extracts from them we shall give in our next.
From a cursory perusal of the papers, and the corroborating testimony of two French gentlemen passengers, we are able to give the following important particulars of the repeated success of our Republican Allies, over the armies of the combined Despots.
It appears that the French troops triumph throughout the Republic—That the army under the Duke of YORK, has been totally defeated in several engagements, which took place before and after the 8th of Sept.—That Gen. Houchard, victoriously pursued them to Furnes, [the place from which Sir James Murray directed his last dispatches dated the 9th,] which place the combined troops evacuated, leaving behind their artillery, said to amount to 128 pieces of different sizes, a great quantity of ammunition, warlike stores, provisions, small arms, &c. The loss of the combined armies in the engagement of the 8th, and several after, was reported to amount to upwards of 9000—That the Duke of York had, through the intrepidity and courage of a regiment of dragoons, escaped, though much wounded, to Ostend; to which place the French were pressing, and it was reported before the schooner left Havre, that the tri-coloured flag, was displayed from the tower and steeples of Ostend—That a part of Gen. Houchard's army had marched towards Quesnoy, against that of the Prince of SAXE COBOURG, who was near that place, and in such a situation, that it was expected he could not fail of being compleatly Burgoyned.
TOULON.
Gen. Carteau at the head of 60,000 men had taken a position on the heights which commanded the forts and port of Toulon; by his letter to the national Convention he assures them, that the English fleet at Toulon, cannot escape from a total destruction, which he expected to accomplish in 48 hours, if they did not surrender.
THE PRUSSIAN ARMY,
Had received several checks near Alsace, where the Republican army have had the greatest success.—The French Patriots had given a severe drubbing to the Spaniards, towards the Pyrennes, and that the insurgents in Vendee are almost entirely destroyed.
THE CONSTITUTION Had been accepted by ALL the departments; and provisions of every sort, were plenty throughout the Republic.
Upon the whole, the affairs of our Republican friends and allies appear much brighter than at any time since the Revolution—their enemies appear every where flying before them—their late internal commotions seem entirely quelled—the recruits are numerous beyond their most sanguine expectation—and we have no doubt, but that at this moment, unless peace is declared, (which we fondly anticipate and hope soon to announce) there are no less than a million of men in arms in France; and that the combined forces have entirely quitted that Republic.
On the above important and agreeable intelligence, we congratulate our Republican friends, and doubt not they will unanimously respond, long live the French Republic!—and may their alliance with America be perpetual!
SHIP-NEWS.
NEW-YORK, NOV. 6.
Capt. Peters from St. Thomas, spoke the sloop Betsey, Marclay, from New-York, to
N. Carolina, dismasted. Oct. 9, spoke the ship Fanny, Refold, from Kenebeck, to Jamaica, out 16 days, all well.
Capt. Black, in the ship Greyhound, from Corunna to New-York, October 17th, in the long. of 56, W. lat. 58, 49. N. spoke with ship Nancy of Salem, Capt. Deverix, from Belfast, bound to Philadelphia, with 190 passengers on board, 65 days out, lost his bowsprit and foremast the 3d of October.
The Chesterfield Packet (which arrived on Sunday) on her passage from England to the eastward of the banks of Newfoundland came up with the ship Maria, Capt. Humphreys, bound from London to St. Johns, which in a gale of wind on the 24th of September had ship'd a sea that carried away his mizen-mast, main and top-gallant mast, stowed in part of his upper deck, washed the man at the helm overboard and cleared the decks of the boats and caboose and did other considerable damage.—Capt. Humphreys's finding the ship thus disabled, from prosecuting the voyage, and in momentary expectation of his foundering, requested that he and the crew might be taken on board the Packet.
Capt. Jones having in the same gale had his boats stowed to pieces, and a heavy sea running at this time, he found himself under great difficulty to effect this purpose—After finding several experiments of lashing the coops together, and throwing them coils of rope, ineffectual in bringing them on board, Capt. Jones determined on the hazardous attempt of running the Packet so nearly along side as to enable the crew to leap on board.
In this, after several efforts, he succeeded, in one of which he had his bows pretty much shattered. The Captain and seven seamen (the whole of the company) were after some hours exertions thus saved, and carried into Halifax. The passengers on board the Packet speak highly of the humanity and exertion of Captain Jones in this interesting occurrence.
SALEM, NOV. 12.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Benjamin Crowinshield, to his friend here, dated Fort-Royal, Sept. 19, 1793.
"I had been in this place but six days, before every one of my crew were taken down with a fever, that some call the plague.—My Mate was sick 4 days, and died.—Two American vessels have been deprived of every officer on board by the fever—a brig from New-Bedford, the Super Cargo, Captain, Mate and boy all died in the course of seven days, and the vessel left destitute."
Oct. 16, Capt. Henderson, of brig William of Salem spoke with the brig Ann, of Boston, Abraham Wheelwright, master, bound for Hispaniola, lat. 23 50 N. and long. 64. W.
Capt. Woodbury arrived here from St. Marks on Sunday. He failed from there in company with the brig Sukey, Capt. Earl, of Charleston, and on the first of October, they were both taken by the brig Mary-Ann, a Bermudian privateer, commanded by Capt. Fowle. Capt. Woodbury was civilly treated, and dismissed on the 14th. Capt. Earl having upwards of 40 French passengers on board, they took his papers from him, put 12 men on board and sent him to Bermuda.
From Capt. Allen's Log-Book.
Oct. 15, spoke the General Pinkney, of Charleston, bound to New-Providence, having on board the Captain and crew of the ship Fair American, from Philadelphia bound to Havana, and cast away on the Northwest keys of Abaco. The Captain's name was Kelly.
Nov. 1, in lat. 37, 20 N. long. 71. W. at 5 A. M. saw a wreck to the eastward of us; bore away for it; at 6 came up with it, but was so dark we could not save any thing. She was a new schooner, and seemed to have been out of port but a short time; had yellow sides, a black streak fore and aft below, and a cream coloured streak fore and aft above, with green hants; her stern was of a dark cream color; some of our people say her quarter deck was painted with Spanish brown. In lat. 47, 56 N. long. 69, 30. W. came up with several barrels of flour, one of the sashes of the cabin windows, and the cabin steps, all new; the sash had 4 squares, 5 1-2 by 4 1-2 inches; the cabin steps, 7 in number, were painted chocolate colour; some of the flour was branded R. Ober, Alexandria fine and superfine.—She had no quarter board nor crotches, two hollow cleats on the taff rail for the boom to lay in; two long cleats from stanchion to stanchion of the quarter deck; a cap at the fore-mast head, but none at the main-mast head; she laid on her starboard side, with her larboard quarter and bow out of water; both her masts were out of the sloop; her main bomb was fast along side; her jib-bomb was rigged in, and stowed to the bowsprit; the larboard anchor was on the bow, and she seemed to have been in that position but a very short time, but it was so dark we could not find her name, but suppose she was from Alexandria, by the brand of the flour.
A letter from Havre-de-Grace, to a gentleman in this town, dated 28th August says,— "There are hardly any goods now allowed to be shipped from France: All kinds of linens are strictly prohibited to be shipped—also, wine, brandy, leather, iron, tin, lead, hemp, cordage, sail-cloth, and in fine almost every article of commerce, except silks and glass. But it is expected this restriction will be taken off American bottoms, and an exclusive privilege given them to export any kind of goods in their own ships.—I could not sell my crowns, without running the hazard of getting my head put into my fist, as the French are now very expert at that kind of fun, having a machine erected in every city for that purpose.—The French have beat the Spaniards, and drove them into their
own country, with loss. They have lately gained a complete victory over the Rebels at Nantz. The Duke of York has his hands full in the Netherlands. The French have sent into the field, within these 45 days, two hundred thousand recruits; and it is said their army will be augmented to one million of men by the first of October. They have imprisoned all the English people in France, who have not resided here more than four years. I think the Liberty Boys will yet gain the day."
Capt. Lord, arrived at New-London from Ostend, says, the loss of the Combined Armies before Dunkirk, was there stated to be five thousand men.
PORTLAND, November 11.
Capt. Allen, in the ship Eliza, arrived here on Wednesday last, from St. Andu, in Spain—30 days passage.—Mr. Lendal Smith, merchant, of this town, a passenger in the abovementioned ship, confirms the account that Toulon is taken.—He adds, that it was asserted, and generally believed, that America had declared war against Great-Britain; in consequence of which the Eliza lost a valuable freight, which she would otherwise certainly had.
Mr. Smith further informs, that the Spaniards speak with the greatest bitterness both of the French and of the Americans—the latter they say, were an example to the former: and that America may, and ought to be considered, as the original cause of all the commotions which now agitate Europe.
We cannot help remarking that this information is of infinite importance to our country. Spain is one of the powers in alliance against France. The sentiments entertained by her, is undoubtedly common to all the rest—What then will be our fate, should France fail of success in the present contest? Would it not be said by this combination of Tyrants, "There is but one free government now remaining on the face of the whole earth—let us crush that, and the world shall be in chains forever!"
TOULON Re-taken by the French.
The brig Maria, Capt. James Parsons, arrived here yesterday, in forty days from Lisbon. Capt. Parsons informs that Toulon was positively retaken by the French. The account was published at Lisbon on the 30th of September, under the authority of the Spanish Ambassador. The English and Spaniards were driven out, and the place was again entirely in the possession of the Republicans.—The combined fleets carried the French ships of the line with them. The counter revolutionists were obliged to make their escape in small boats. Those who were left behind, were indiscriminately put to the sword—After the reduction of Marseilles, the Republicans proceeded to Toulon; and with an army of about 25,000 men reduced the city, and drove out the fleets which occupied the harbour.
Captain Parsons adds, that the siege of Dunkirk was raised, and would not be renewed till further reinforcements were received from England.

POPE.
I AM an humble cousin to two sisters, who, though they are good humoured, good sort of people, and (all things considered) behave to me tolerably well; yet their manners and dispositions are so extremely opposite, that the task of pleasing them is rendered very difficult and troublesome. The elder of my cousins is a very jolly, free-hearted girl, and so great an enemy to all kinds of form, that you seldom see her with so much as a pin in her gown; while the younger, who thinks in her heart that her sister is no better than a flattern, runs into the contrary extreme, and is in every thing she does, an absolute fid fad. She takes up almost as much time to put on her gown, as her sister does to dirty one. The elder is too thoughtless to remember what she is to do; and the other is so tedious in doing it, that the time is always elapsed in which it was necessary for it to be done. If you lend any thing to the elder, you are sure of having it lost; or if you would borrow any thing of the younger, it is odds but she refuses it, from an opinion that you will be less careful of it than herself. Whatsoever work is done by one sister, is too slight to hang together for an hour's wear; and whatsoever is undertaken by the other, is generally too nice and curious to be finished.
As they are constantly bedfellows, the first sleep of the elder is sure to be broken by the younger, whose usual time of undressing and folding up her clothes is at least an hour and a half, allowing a third part of that time for hindrance occasioned by her eldest sister's things, which lie scattered every where in her way.
If they had lovers, I know exactly how it would be: the elder would lose her's by saying Yes to soon, and the younger by saying No too often. If they were wives, the one would be too hasty to do any thing right, and the other too tedious to do any thing pleasing: Or were they mothers, the daughters of the elder would be playing at taw with the boys, and the sons of the younger dressing dolls with the miffs.
I wish, Sir, you would be so kind to these cousins of mine, as to favour them with your advice. I have said already that they are both good-humoured; and if you could prevail upon the elder to borrow from the younger a little thought and neatness; and upon the younger, to add to her exactness, a little of the carelessness of the elder; you would make them very amiable women, and me the happiest of all humble cousins.

JOHN LAMB, Owner of said brig
THE PRINTER
hereof returns unfeigned thanks to his Friends and Patrons, for the liberal encouragement they have given him since he first set out in business—hopes he shall ever retain a true sense of their past favors, and merit a continuance of their patronage.—By the last vessel from London he has received a beautiful assortment of new TYPES, and some of the newest and most beautiful Ornaments cast at the Type Foundery, which, added to his former assortment, makes his office the completest in New-Hampshire,—it will enable him to execute every kind of Printing committed to his Press in the neatest manner, which will always be done on terms, equally moderate as at any office in the New-England States.—Gentlemen will find at his office a large or small new Type for Blanks—Authors a beautiful Type for their work, and Shop-keepers a large showy Type for Hand-bills, which will be embellished in the newest taste.—Advertisements will be conspicuously set off in the GAZETTE—the extensive circulation of which throughout this State, as well as its circulation in the neighbouring States, as far as Virginia, must be an advantage to our advertising customers in particular, too evident to need any comment—we rest the matter for them to judge how far it may answer their design in advertising in the GAZETTE, in which their advertisements will always be inserted, on terms, equally moderate as in any paper whatever.
The Printer now
earnestly calls on every person indebted to him, either for the GAZETTE, or otherwise, to make immediate payment, which at this time, will be essentially serviceable to him; many of his customers have been induced, though often called on, to suffer their Newspaper accounts to be long standing, much to his disadvantage, he is persuaded owing to the smallness of their accounts, they thought them of little consequence to the Printer, and would let them run on 'till they accumulated to a larger sum, and then pay off, but he assures those, his subscriptions are very numerous, and when his accounts are made up, even quarterly, amount to a very considerable sum for him:—every person acquainted with the nature of his business, knows he cannot prosecute it to advantage without large sums of ready money. He now rests persuaded, that no person indebted to him, will take it amiss, when presented with his bill, but discharge the same as readily as he was served on command.
The accounts are all made up to the present month, and will be strictly attended to 'till settled, it being the determination of the Printer hereof to have every account of more than three months standing closed with the present year.
