JOSIAH BARTLETT, President. A TRUE COPY—ATTEST: JOSEPH PEARSON, Secretary.
[In consequence of a proposition from the King of Prussia to Gen. Dumourier, as preliminary to a cessation of hostilities between the Prussians and French, the basis of which was, that Louis XVI. should be released from his confinement, and admitted to some share in the new Government, Gen. Dumourier sent the following beautiful and spirited Manifesto to the Monarch to whom it is addressed.]
SPIRIT OF ELOQUENCE.
TO THE FRENCH ARMY.
COMRADES IN ARMS,
THE following are the reasonable propositions which I made to the Prussians, after receiving two messages requesting an accommodation.—The Duke of Brunswick sent me for answer an insolent Manifesto,* which will irritate the whole nation, and increase the number of its soldiers.—Let us observe no longer truce my friends—let us attack these tyrants, and make them repent of having polluted the land of liberty. DUMOURIER.
MEMORIAL to the KING of PRUSSIA.
THE French nation has undoubtedly decided its fate, and foreign powers cannot refuse to acknowledge the truth of this assertion. They no longer see the National Assembly, whose powers were confined; whose will required to be confirmed or abrogated to have the force of laws; who possessed only a contested authority, which might have been considered as usurped; and who had the wisdom to appeal to the whole nation, and to request of themselves the eighty-three Departments to put an end to their existence, and to supply their place by a representation invested with all the powers and complete sovereignty of the French people, authorised by the constitution itself, under the name of the National Convention.
This assembly, the first day of its sitting, actuated by a spontaneous movement, which is the same throughout the whole empire, decreed the abolition of royalty.—This decree was every where received with great joy; it was every where expected with the utmost impatience; it every where augments the energy of the people, and at present it would be impossible to make the nation re-establish a throne over-turned by the crimes which surrounded it. France then must necessarily be considered as a Republic, since the whole nation has declared the abolition of monarchy. This republic must either be acknowledged or combated.
The powers armed against France had no right to intermeddle in the debates of the National Assembly on the form of its government. No power has a right to impose laws on so great a nation; they therefore resolved to employ the right of the strongest.—But what has been the result?—The nation has been more incensed; they have opposed force to force, and the advantages certainly which the numerous troops of the King of Prussia and his allies have gained are of very little consequence. The resistance which he meets with, and which encreases as he advances, is too great not to prove that the conquest of France, represented to him as very easy, is absolutely impossible. Whatever difference of principles may exist between the respectable monarch who has been misled, and the French people, neither he nor his Generals can any longer consider that people, or the armies which oppose him, as a collection of rebels.
The rebels are those infatuated nobility, who after having so long oppressed the people in the name of monarchs, whose throne they themselves shook, have completed the disgrace of LOUIS XVI. by taking up arms against their own country, by filling Europe with their falsehoods and their calumnies, and by becoming by a conduct as foolish as it is criminal, the most dangerous enemies of LOUIS XVI. and of their country.
* This Manifesto was inserted in the Gazette of Wednesday last.
I have often myself heard LOUIS XVI. lament their crimes and their chimeras.
I shall leave the King of Prussia and his whole army to judge of the conduct of these dangerous rebels—are they esteemed or despised? I do not require an answer to that question, I already know it—yet these men are suffered to remain in the Prussian army, and to form the advanced guard of it, with a small number of Austrians, as barbarous as themselves.
Let us now come to the Austrians since the fatal treaty of 1756. France, after sacrificing its natural allies, became a prey to the ambition of the Court of Vienna. All our treasures served to satiate the avarice of the Austrians. In the beginning therefore of our Revolution—at the opening of the National Assembly, under the name of the States General, the intrigues of the Court of Vienna were multiplied to deceive the nation respecting its real interests; to mislead an unfortunate King, surrounded by bad advisers, and lastly to render him perjured.
It is the Court of Vienna that has occasioned the downfall of LOUIS XVI. What has been done by that court, the crooked politics of which are too subtle to display a bold and open conduct? It represented the French as monsters, while it, and the criminal Emigrants, paid emissaries and conspirators, and kept up by every possible means the most frightful discord.
This power, more formidable to its allies than its enemies, has engaged us in a war against a great King, whom we esteem; against a nation which we love and which loves us. This perversion of all political and moral principles cannot long continue.
The King of Prussia will know one day the crimes of Austria of which we have proofs, and will abandon it to our vengeance. I can declare to the whole world that the armies united against the forces which now invade us cannot be induced to look upon the Prussians as their enemies, nor the King of Prussia as the instruments of the perfidy and vengeance of the Austrians and the Emigrants. They entertain a nobler idea of that courageous nation, and of a King whom they wish to consider a just and an honest man.
The King, say they, cannot abandon his allies—Are they worthy of him? Has a man who has associated with robbers a right to say that he cannot quit their society? He cannot, it is said, break his alliance—upon what is it founded? On perfidy and projects of invasion.
Such are the principles upon which the King of Prussia and the French nation ought to reason, in order to understand each other.
The Prussians love Royalty, because, since the Great Elector, they have had good Kings and because he who now conducts them is doubtless worthy of their affection.
The French have abolished Royalty, because, since the immortal HENRY IV. they have always had weak, proud, or timid Kings, governed by mistresses, confessors, insolent or ignorant ministers, base and abject courtiers, who have afflicted, with every kind of calamity, the most beautiful empire in the universe.
The King of Prussia has too pure a soul not to be struck with these truths. I present them to him for the interest of his own glory, and above all for the interest of two magnanimous nations, the happiness or misery of which he can secure by one word; for as it is certain that his arms will be resisted, and that no power can subdue France, I shudder when I think on the dreadful misfortune, of seeing our plains strewed with the dead bodies of two respectable nations, from a vain idea of a point of honor, for which the King himself will one day blush, when he sees his army and his treasure sacrificed to a system of perfidy and ambition, in which he has no share, and to which he is rendered the dupe.
In the same degree that the French nation became a Republic, is violent and capable of making every effort a-
gainst its enemies, in the same degree it is generous and affectionate towards its friends. Incapable of bending its head before armed men, it will give every succour, and even expend its blood for a generous ally; and if ever there was an epoch when the affection of a nation could be depended on, it is that when the general will forms the invariable principles of a government. It is that when treaties are no longer subjected to the insidious politicks of Ministers and Courtiers. If the King of Prussia will consent to treat with the French nation it will become a generous, powerful and unchangeable ally; but if the illusion of a point of honor prevails over his virtues, his humanity and his real interests, he will then find enemies worthy of him, who will combat him with regret but to the utmost, and who will be continually succeeded by avengers, whose number daily increases, and whom no human efforts will prevent from living or dying free.
Is it possible that the King of Prussia contrary to the rules of true policy, immutable justice and humanity, should consent to be the instrument of the will of the perfidious Court of Vienna; should sacrifice his brave army and his treasures to the ambition of that Court, which in a war it has been directed to undertake, has the finesse to expose its allies, and to furnish only a small contingency, while it alone, were it brave and generous, ought to support the whole burthen?—The King of Prussia at present can act the noblest part that any King ever acted. His operations alone have been attended with success; he took two towns; but this success was owing to treachery and cowardice. Since that he has found free and brave men, from whom he cannot withhold his esteem. He will still find a greater number, for the army which stops his march encreases every day; it is in excellent discipline, and animated by the same spirit. It has been freed from traitors and cowards, who might have excited an idea that France could be easily conquered, and instead of defending, it will soon attack, unless a reasonable negotiation make a distinction between the King and his army, whom we esteem, and the Austrians and the Emigrants whom we despise. It is time that an open and sincere explanation should terminate our discussions or confirm them, and enable us to know our real enemies. We will combat them with courage; we are upon our own soil; we have to avenge the excesses committed in our fields; and it may be readily believed that a war against Republicans, proud of their liberty, must be a bloody war, which can never end but with the entire destruction of the oppressors or the oppressed.
This dreadful reflection ought to agitate the heart of a just and humane King. He ought to consider that instead of protecting, by his arms, LOUIS XVI. and his family, the more he continues our enemy, the more he will aggravate their calamities.
I hope, for my part, that the King, whose virtues I respect, and who has shown me marks of esteem which do me honor, will be pleased to read, with attention, this note, dictated by the love of humanity and of my country. He will pardon the hurry and incorrectness of the style of these truths from an old soldier, occupied still more essentially with military operations which must decide the fate of the war.
(Signed) DUMOURIER.
BOSTON, Dec. 26. FROM EUROPE.
Dublin papers, as late as Oct. 16th, assure us, That the King of Prussia had actually informed the Emperor and the Emigrants, that he intended to make a separate Peace with the French, which was in a train of accomplishment, notwithstanding the Truce was broken up, after the first negotiation, in the latter part of September:—

That the siege of Lisle was raised by the Austrians, in consequence of the reinforcements which had marched to the succour of that city :
That Spain had not yet joined in hostilities against France ; but was making some insignificant preparations therefor ;
That Portugal was arming 12000 men to join the invaders ; but they had not marched :—
That the proposition made by the King of Prussia to General Dumourier, respecting Louis XVI. was “Make him your King under the strictest limits that any King was ever placed : Do not content yourself with tying him up like the King of England, to do nothing himself —make him King of the Mar- battas—make him a Stadtholder —make him the principal Tax- Gatherer in the country—give him only a place, that is all I ask ; and then I shall have a pretext for retiring.”—Even this begging proposal was re- fused.
“FROM ST. DOMINGO.”
“Letters from that quarter, dated the 12th of November inform, that an attack has been made upon Mornepelle, a post occupied by the negroes, which commands the camp of Cleriffe.
M. D’Assas, who command- ed this attack, drove the rebels from the post : but unaccount- ably gave up his advantage, by leaving the post, taking with him a spiked cannon which the rebels had left behind. The negroes had time to carry off what artillery was serviceable.
“As soon as M. D’Assas left the post, the negroes re- turned and continued to an- noy the camp at Cleriffe. The patriotic commander has lost much of his popularity on this occasion.”
Capt. Hadaway, from Cadiz, which place he left the 14th October, informs, that war had not been proclaimed by Spain against France, as had been re- ported ; neither was it expected that it would be :—That pro- visions were very cheap and plenty in all parts of Spain. Flour was selling at Cadiz, from 5 1/2 to 5 3/4 dolls. per bbl. Beef from 7 1/2 to 8 dolls. do. Pork 10 do.
It was reported that an at- tempt had been made by one L’EVEQUE, to assassinate the King of Prussia, and that the King of Sardinia had actually been murdered. The Rex-ma- nia is epidemical in the Old World.
DECEMBER 29.
IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE.
Extract of a letter from Samuel Freeman, Esq. Post-Master at Portland, dated on Monday last.
“Capt. Titcomb, of the ship A- riadne, has this moment arrived here from Liverpoole, and brings papers to the 20th October, containing great and good NEWS from FRANCE—they in- form that the French have TOTALLY
ROUTED THEIR ENEMIES—that the Prussians are ENTIRELY driven out of FRANCE. The rest of the in- vaders, who have not been killed, taken, or who have not deserted, are SUR- ROUNDED !—and must soon surren- der.”
We are informed, that the inhabi- tants of the islands of Martinico & Gua- daloupe, have lately captured, by an ar- med force, the islands of St Lucia and Marigalante, two French islands. It is said the two former colonies have re- nounced the jurisdiction of France, and have established themselves as an In- dependent State.
PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 2.
On Friday last the Hon. Ge- neral-Court finished their ses- sion at Exeter, and adjourned to meet at Concord in June next.
The General-Court have sub- scribed for the State, twenty five shares in the New-Hamp- shire Bank, and appointed the Hon. Judge Peabody, of Exeter to represent them at the Bank.
Account of the SILK MILLS
AT DERBY, IN ENGLAND.
IN these mills are 26,585 wheels, and 97,746 movements, continually working, except on Sundays. This grand machine is disposed in four stories of large rooms, above each other ; and the whole is actuated by one great water-wheel, which goes round three times in a minute. In each time of its going round, 73,728 yards of silk are twitted, so that in 24 hours, 318, 504,960 yards are executed. The wa- ter-wheel is kept constantly going : But on Sundays, it is disengaged from all the rest of the work. Any part of these movements may be stopped with- out the least prejudice or interruption to the rest.
NEWCASTLE, DEC. 19. Last Satur- day departed this life, and yesterday was interred the Rev. Mr. OLIVER NOBLE, Pastor of the Church of Christ in this town, in the 57th year of his age,—One Son and seven Daughters survive to mourn the loss of a most indulgent and affectionate Father. This providence opens afresh the feelings of filial affection, lately weeping over the grave of their dear Mother.—Every devout and benevolent heart will unite in ardent wish- es and prayers, that the divine and most merciful promises of Him who is a father to the fatherless may be their happy portion.—This is not more than a just and christian tribute to the memory of the deceased, whose pulpit-talents were very respectable ; the integrity and benevolence of whose heart formed no small part of his amiable char- acter, and who was no stranger to the viciss- itudes and trials incident in this present evil world. But these light afflictions which are but for a moment, are designed to work out a far more exceeding and an eternal weight of glory.
TAKEN up agst, inside Portland Light-House, a small yawl Boat, about twelve or thirteen feet long, with two old Oars in said Boat, the painter drag- ing overboard, on Tuesday morn- ing the 18th of Dec. 1792, about two o’clock, by Capt. Wm. Hutchings, mas- ter of the sloop Rhode, from St. Johns (N. Brunswick) bound to Newbury,— The owner is desired to call on George Frost, Esq. at Newcastle, New-Hamp- shire, in whose care the Boat is deliver- ed, and will deliver the said Boat to the owner, or his order, he paying the charges, and proving his property.
