PARIS, October 18.
A letter from the Commissioners sent to the United Armies, dated from the "Citadel of Verdun," Oct. 13, was read in the National Convention. It, among other articles, enclosed the following
Copy of the Capitulation made at Verdun, 12th October.
"HIS MAJESTY, the KING OF PRUSSIA, having resolved to evacuate Verdun, the following Convention to this effect is made between the Sieur Coubier, Lieutenant-General in the service of Prussia, and the Sieur Valence, Lieutenant-General of the armies of the French Republic.
Art. 1. "On the 14th of the present October, the Prussian troops shall evacuate the town of Verdun, before noon, to retire with the arms, baggage and artillery, pertaining to them.
2. "All the artillery found in the town of Verdun, at the time of its first surrender, as well as whatever is in the magazines, shall be faithfully delivered to the General of the French army, appointed for that purpose.
3. "All the sick, who can be transported to the hospitals of the army, shall be carried thither; those who cannot, shall remain in the hospitals occupied by them, until their entire cure, where they shall be attended at the expense of his Prussian Majesty: after which they shall be permitted to go by the nearest road to the Prussian army, with passports and all the necessary conveniences.
4. "All the effects belonging to his Prussian Majesty may be removed.
5. "When this convention shall be approved and signed, the French troops will occupy, by a company of gendarmes, not exceeding an hundred men, the gate called the Relief Gate of the citadel.
6. "On the 14th of October, before noon, the Prussian troops will have evacuated Verdun, and, to prevent any disorders, the generous French citizens will not cause their troops to enter, until after the rear guard of the Prussian troops shall have passed the gate Chaussee .
7. "If by any misunderstanding, or accident, any infraction of the preceding capitulation shall be made, that shall not at all influence the present convention, and it shall be nevertheless executed; and, if any thing unexpected shall happen, on either side, the guilty shall be punished.
8. "A duplicate shall be made of this convention, sealed with the arms of Prussia and of the French Nation."

Letter from Rear Admiral TRUGUET to the Minister at War.
"On board the Tonant, } Golfe-Juan October 1. }
"CITIZEN,
"It belongs to General ANSELM to give an account of the success of the united armies. This is the right of the Commander in Chief, in the operations concerted at present.
"Citizen, the Council is informed that the three-coloured flag floats over Nice, Ville Franche, and the fort of Montalban. It is my duty to lay before you the conduct of the naval army in this enterprize, that the brave soldiers who compose it may participate in that honorable mention with which the National Convention doubtless wishes to reward the successes in the South.
"Scarcely had the squadron arrived near Gen. ANSELM when it began to cruise off Nice, by which means it blocked up the entrance of the port so that not a single vessel could enter. It never ceased to perform its evolutions in good order, and to shew strangers, misled by the Emigrants, a naval force, respectable both by its appearance and
conduct. The crews knew that we were to attack by sea, while the troops of the line were forcing the passage of the river Var. They ardently longed for that moment.—Yes, Citizens, it is with satisfaction that I render them this testimony. It was with inexpressible joy that they saw the moment of attack approaching. They had been made previously to believe, for we have enemies every where, that our vessels would run a great risque of being driven on shore on that dangerous coast; that there were masked batteries, besides those they saw, which would fire red-hot balls against them; and that the fort of Montalban would shower down bombs upon them. Well, Citizens, all these details only served to excite their courage; and had I complied with their wishes, I should have anticipated the moment fixed for our combined attack. Humanity disposed otherwise, and the terrible preparations made by our naval and land forces obtained the most splendid success to the cause of Liberty."
"As for my part, Citizen, I have only obeyed the orders and requisitions of Gen. ANSELM, and I cannot even claim the merit of having excited by my ardent zeal that of the captains, officers, and sailors who are under my command. I spoke to them of danger, but at the same time of glory, and immediately a thousand voices shouted out Victory or Death!
(Signed) TRUGUET. Rear Admiral and Commander of the Fleet, in the Mediterranean.
October 20. The National Convention have decreed the abolition of the military order of St. Louis.
Extract of a letter from London, to the citizen Gregoire, October 10.
"Last night the King called together a secret committee on the affairs of France, and stocks fell immediately one per cent. In many cities people are greatly interested in favor of French liberty: it is envied and wished for, and I make no doubt that if it should be solidly established in France, the two countries by alliance will realize the sublime project of the Abbe de St. Pierre for a general peace, in deciding on the disputes of the other European powers, and forcing them to be pacific and just.
LONDON, October, 22.
Two Gazettes of Brussels have arrived, of which the last is dated the 14th instant. It is admirable to observe the silence of these, with respect to the war in France, all the skirmishes of which were so pompously detailed, when there was any thing advantageous in them for Austria, or Prussia. These two Gazettes say no more, concerning it, than that, "the roads of Campaign being impracticable, and provisions not to be had, the Duke of Brunswick had approached his magazines in the neighbourhood of Dun, Verdun and Stenay ."
According to an old story, those who see two persons contending, may know which has the best of the conquest, by observing their tempers. Apply this rule to the letter of the Prussian General Courbier , when he surrendered Verdun ,* and from that his condition may be guessed at. In it all the usual formalities between Gentlemen were omitted; he neither makes his bow at the beginning or the end of it; but says, in brutal sulkiness, " You must have what you demand ."
The sums, paid by the governments of Spire and Worms to M. DE CUSTINE, were supplied by the Bankers of Frankfort, who still continues to accept the fragile security to be had of such borrowers.
The young Emperor of Germany seems likely to begin his reign with misfortunes, personal, as well as official. The present invasion of the empire is of the latter sort; and the loss of Flanders, which must ensue, if a separate peace is made between France and Prussia, will be the most decisive blow ever felt by the wide spread House of Austria.
* Which was inserted in the Gazette of Wednesday last.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 17.
We hear from the provinces of Namur and Luxembourg, that the army of their Royal Highnesses Monsieur and the Count d'ARTOIS, is disbanded, as well as that under the command of the Duke DE BOURBON, the individuals of which these armies were composed are in the greatest distresses, wandering and dispersing, without knowing where to go, or what is to become of them; many without money; others selling their horses, watches, and even their clothes. I have seen some with no other covering than a blanket. A great many have only the shirt upon their back, and are wading through thick and thin with half a pair of shoes. All these poor unfortunate men have got their discharges in their pockets, and anxiously desire to return to their native country.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 29
English papers to the 18th October, received by a vessel arrived at Baltimore, contain intelligence of which the following is a summary.—The combined armies under the command of the Duke of Brunswick, had effected their retreat as far back as Verdun. The enemies of the French Republic appear to be completely disconcerted in the object of the campaign. They expected to have been joined by large numbers of the French, but on the contrary, few or none flocked to their standard: They were promised supplies of provisions from France, and depending upon them, they were for some time in a starving condition. The Prussian magazines have been exhausted, and provisions carried to the invading armies proved so unwholesome, that sickness and disease where the consequences of using them. These added to incessant rains for many weeks, were the immediate causes of the retreat. The French army under the command of Dumourier and Kellerman harassed their rear and captured numbers of their soldiers, and large quantities of baggage and stores. The siege of Lisle and of Thionville were certainly abandoned. The late King and Queen of France were prisoners, but it was imagined would not be brought to trial, or injured. The city of Paris and the whole nation were in a state of tranquility. The national convention conducted themselves with propriety, and possessed the confidence of the people, and no doubt existed that the new Republic would be established, notwithstanding the opposition of the allied powers.
General Custine of the northern French army had invaded the Imperial territories, and reduced Spires, Worms and several other places, and taken large magazines of provisions. General Montesquiou had completed the conquest of Savoy.
The unfortunate La Fayette was a close confined, and cruelly treated prisoner at Wessel in the Prussian territories.
The Empress of Russia was marching an army of 30,000 men to join the enemies of France, and it was expected the Spaniards would also unite with them in a short time.
Extract of a letter from a merchant of Philadelphia now in London, to a mercantile house in this city, dated 16th Oct. received by a vessel arrived in a short passage at Baltimore.
"I am now persuaded that the French have got their Independence, as the Austrian and Prussian troops have been obliged to evacuate the country. I believe all the powers in Europe cannot establish the old government, or any other but a REPUBLICAN, agreeable to the general sense of the nation."
January 5.
Abstract of Foreign Intelligence.
In the attack of Spires the Austrians lost 800 men, besides a great number mortally wounded, and tho' they fought bravely, yet the French had only 20 killed and 30 wounded.
Spain has openly declared its
disposition to co-operate with Austria & Prussia against France.
The Porte has refused permission for eight ships of the line, and the same number of frigates of the Russian navy, to pass the Dardanelles, in order to act against the French.
A grand civic feast, on account of the success of the French armies, was to be celebrated in Paris in October.
A serious rupture has taken place among the Jacobins, and it is said they have expelled Brissot, and ordered his name to be erased from their minute-book.
M. Pétion is re-elected Mayor of Paris—and M. Garat has accepted the office of Minister of Justice.
Tranquility reigns generally in Paris; a general opinion prevails, that neither Louis nor the Queen will be punished with death.—The majority of the Convention appear to be disposed to conciliate parties, rather than encourage animosity; little doubt however exists but that republicanism will remain the French form of government, till future experience shall point out its inefficacy.
M. Danton demanded in the Convention, that the country be declared out of danger: this proposition was combated and deferred.
By a letter of the Commissioners to the Convention, dated the 10th October, it appears, that the enemy had 30,000 men encamped without Verdun, and were in possession of the heights which command that town, in which they have a great number of sick. Kellerman was making his arrangements to attack this army when it retreated.
NEW-YORK, December 29.
On Thursday last the citizens of this metropolis, celebrated the successful struggles of the French Republic in the cause of Liberty, by the ringing of bells, and other demonstrations of public joy.
In the evening the Tammany Society met at their great Wigman, which was illuminated on the occasion, when several patriotic songs were sung, among which was the following, hastily composed for the occasion:
Hark! Hark! the joyful news is come, Sound, sound the trumpet, beat the drum,
While merry bells resound: Where freedom's sacred ensigns wave, Supported by the free and brave, There victory is found.
By bell inspir'd with brutal rage, Austria and Prussia both engage,
To crush fair freedom's flame: But the intrepid sons of France, Have led them such a glorious dance, They've turn'd their backs for shame.
May Heaven continue still to bless, The arms of freedom with success,
'Till tyrants are no more: And still as Gallia's sons shall fly From victory to victory.
We'll, shouting, cry Encore.
ALBANY, December 27.
It is said the Hon. PHILLIP SCHUYLER, Esq. of this city, is appointed by the Executive of the United States one of the commissioners for negotiating a peace with the Western Indians, at the treaty proposed to be holden the ensuing spring.
It is with the most lively pleasure we can inform our readers, that in addition to the truce which has been agreed on, between Congress and the Miami and other nations

of the Western Indians, that a doubt cannot now exist, but a lasting peace will be the result—Gen. CHAPIN of Ontario, passed through this city, last week, on his way westward, carrying with him the Olive-Branch to those hostile tribes—Congress having acceded to their proposals of holding a great treaty at the falls of the Miami, to settle all difference, as soon as the leaves are out in the spring.
BOSTON, January 9. PLEASING INTELLIGENCE.
In addition to the Intelligence announced this day under the Albany head, of the happy prospect of a GENERAL PEACE with the late hostile tribes of Indians—we are able to add, on the information of a gentleman of respectability and veracity, directly from Philadelphia, that the measure is so far effected, that an immediate reduction of the army will take place; and that but two Regiments will be retained in service: That the Chiefs now in Philadelphia, and who were personally engaged in the unfortunate defeat of November 4, are highly satisfied with their reception; and that the Commissioners for settling the definitive treaty with the tribes, which have not sent Chiefs to Philadelphia, were preparing to proceed on their embassy, at the Miami towns; the treaty at which is to be held as soon as the leaves appear on the trees.
THE NATIONAL MANUFACTORY. In New-Jersey, is in a state of much expectation—Several Branches are at work; and Messrs. Pearce and Marshall, conductors of the cotton spinning and weaving departments, have invented a Ginn, which will produce near 300 lbs. of cleaned cotton per day, and requires the assistance of children only.
Mr. Wignal, with his new Company of Comedians, we are told, has arrived at New-York—Their splendid Theatre, at Philadelphia, is nearly finished.
The Directors of the Philadelphia Bank, have advertised a dividend of 7½ per cent, for the six months, ending in December. This is doing better than the Banks in this town, 4½ being the extent of their last semi-annual dividend.
Gen. Custine, who has lately invaded the Austrian dominions, and captured several towns in the Electorate of Treves, served in America, under Gen. Rochambeau, and was Colonel of the regiment of Saintonge.
Col. Oswald, formerly Aid-de-Camp to Gen. Lee, and now proprietor of the Independent Gazetteer, printed at Philadelphia, lately went to Europe to join the French army, in which (according to the London papers) he has been appointed one of the Staff-Officers.
Twenty Extraordinary Sheep. On Saturday last, was brought to this town, and sold at the Market, by Mr. Ebenezer Smith, Twenty Sheep, fatted by Major Artemas Howe, of New-Braintree, County of Worcester, which weighed there, alive, 3622 lb. When killed, the 20 Carcasses weighed
1660 lb. Tallow - 303 lb. Total 1963 lb.
And were sold for £60 1 6
At Western, a Steer, 2½ years old, was killed a few days since, which weighed 821 lb. The tallow weighed 121 lb.
“FROM CAPE-FRANCOIS,”
“DEC. 15, 1792.”
“It is now near a month since we have been possessed of Occanaminthe and Mount Pele, where we have destroyed numbers of the enemy: Port de Paix will soon be reduced to order: The inhabitants in that quarter have united themselves with the troops stationed there, and have begun an attack on the Brigands, whom they have already driven into a situation from whence they cannot escape; they must either throw themselves into the sea, or surrender at discretion: The troops have sworn never to return until they have extirpated the insurgents—during their march of twenty-five leagues, they have lost only two men: Mr. Pagot, who commands the camp of Occanaminthe, has lately experienced a new instance of treachery from the Brigands, in that neighbourhood—a few of them came to him with proposals to surrender, they were followed by a large body, who after having been conducted into the camp, agreeably to a complot formed among them, immediately revolted—an attack was made at the same time from without: This unfortunate credulity has cost us 25 men, among whom were 15 invalids. Mr. Pagot was wounded in the action.”
“The 12th inst. we were alarmed by an unfortunate difficulty with the people of colour: It was however immediately suppressed, and several soldiers of the Cape-Regiment, who had refused to submit to the decree of the 4th of April, and were the authors of this unseasonable, were instantly embarked. A general attack will take place next week.”
January 14.
The English November Packet is arrived at New-York, and brings an account of the City of Brussels (in Austria) having capitulated to the French. Further accounts state, That the Emperor of Germany and the Empress of Russia had formed a plan to divide Prussia between them—that citizen Demourier had intercepted a packet which contained the articles—that he (Demourier) sent a copy to the King of Prussia—that an interview had taken place between Demourier and the King of Prussia—that the King was perfectly convinced of the reality of the agreement, as he was personally acquainted with their hand-writing.
It is conjectured that the consequence of the above, will be, a quadruple alliance between France, Prussia, England and Holland.
SALE M, January 8.
By the most careful accounts, 710 persons have been inoculated in this town, since the 18th of October; and 275 at Brookline, Boston, and Charlestown, since the 5th of Sept. last.
PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 16.
Peace with the Creek Indians, from whom some hostile conduct was expected, is firmly established.
Accounts from France as late as 27th October, by way of Philadelphia, brought by a vessel arrived there from Dunkirk, state—That Verdun and Longwy were evacuated pursuant to articles of capitulation by the Austrian and Prussian armies, and immediately taken possession of by the French forces—several other places were also abandoned by the invading armies, and others taken by the French after a faint resistance—so that the enemy were entirely driven out of France. Not only so, but the French armies had penetrated into the German Territories, had taken Spires, Worms, Mayence and other places—Spires and Worms had been laid under contributions; from the latter a million of livres had been exacted. The siege of Lisle was raised, after having about 200 houses destroyed, and a number of the citizens and the garrison killed.
In Chamberry, a society had been formed of the friends of equality—this society consisted of 1200 persons—they have addressed the national convention—have abjured the Duke of Savoy, and swear they will never again acknowledge a King, or submit to any master whatever. The people of France are exceedingly elated with their successes, and consider their losses by the devastations and sieges of the enemy as nothing, when contrasted with the favourable turn in their affairs, and the prospect of a speedy and permanent establishment of their liberties under the auspices of a free Republic. The papers we have seen are to the 23d of October printed at Paris—they contain no accounts of the present situation of M. LA FAYETTE, nor of the ci-devant King and Queen of France. In Verdun a considerable number of letters and papers were intercepted, throwing great light on the hitherto secret manoeuvres of the emigrants, and the other enemies of the revolution. M. PETION
in a speech to the convention, informs them of a protest of the ci-devant King against all the acts and proceedings of the National Assembly, which he had signed—alleging that he had not been in a state of freedom to approve or not to approve those acts and proceedings. This protest had been sent to several of the courts, particularly that of Brussels. General PALIO is going on an expedition against Sardinia.
A letter from a respectable merchant at Dunkirk, dated October 18, also adds,
“Since my last, the face of things in this country are much changed, which have also for the moment, made a deep impression on other nations: The Duke of Brunswick, with his army of Prussians and Austrians of 80,000 men, not finding it so easy to reach Paris as he apprehended, has been for some time retreating; the bad roads, occasioned by the late rains, his army very sickly, (much diminished) in want of provisions, with Kellerman's army of 20,000 men hanging on his rear, renders his progress slow. One of the French armies have over-run the King of Sardinia's dominions, not for conquest, but leave the people to set up such government as they shall choose (monarchy excepted.) Another has entered Spires Manheim, and Worms, in Germany, who opened their gates to them; it is somewhat expected they will go to Frankfort, but I think there may be danger of their going too far. Dumourier is expected to carry a large army into Brabant, but what has more immediately affected us favorably here at present is, the siege of Lisle being raised, it was not long, but very furious with bombs and red hot balls. They destroyed several hundred houses, and damaged two thousand more: It was invested by 31,000 Austrians, who committed the most atrocious crimes on the inhabitants of the suburbs; neither age nor sex secured them from depredation. If this place had fallen, Dunkirk would probably have been the next object: We are but 48 miles from Lisle, and within sound of the cannon in a still night during the siege; under these circumstances, you will not think our situation was very pleasing; but thro' favour, we are for the present relieved, and remain quiet; whether it will be only momentary, or for continuance, is uncertain: I think the next spring will be a period of great events; the confederacy will be broken, and France left to settle her own internal government, or the united forces of Europe on the continent doubtless will be raised against her.—I sincerely wish it may be the former, and that the effusion of blood that has lately flowed so freely, not so much in battle as in the horrid act of murder, may be stopped, and that this or any other revolution may never again be stained with this deep and bloody dye.”
On Wednesday the 2d inst. died The Honorable LEVERETT HUBBARD, Esq. of this town, in the 69th year of his age, and on Saturday his remains were entombed, after the funeral obsequies were paid by a number of respectable gentlemen and fellow-citizens. In this amiable person concentrated the christian, the gentleman and the honest man. He was devout in his christian professions; he was polite and easy in his deportment as a gentleman, and humane, generous and benevolent in his friendship and in all his dealings, he sustained the character of a real honest man. He discharged the duties of several appointments before and after the late Revolution with diligence, assiduity and honor; and when he was summoned by death, he bore his approaching dissolution with great fortitude and resignation to the sovereign will of God.
