Foreign Intelligence.
AUSTRIAN NETHERLANDS
BRUSSELS, Sept. 22.
After the events of the 14th inst. the news of which you probably have heard, the armies under the command of the Duke of Brunswick, having turned the mountains of Clermontois, found the armies of Luckner, Dumourier and Kellerman very advantageously posted in a chain of mountains parallel to the river of Aisne.
The combined armies offered battle to the French, which they refused. It then became necessary to turn a corps of twenty thousand men under M. Dumourier, who occupied a height which is considered as a key to the passes. The intrepidity of the troops conquered all obstacles; they attacked and took a battery of cannon, and M. Dumourier perceiving they should turn his flank, took flight. The two other Generals followed his example, and the French army passed the Aisne in the greatest disorder, and fled towards Chalons, where it is thought they did not stop.
In this retreat from four to five hundred prisoners have been made, and they lost a great number of people, four pieces of cannon, sixty waggons, and an infinite number of baggage.
M. de Sombrueil, aid-de-camp of the Prince of Nassau has gained great credit in this action by his valour and intelligence. It is understood that the King of Prussia decorated him with military orders on the field of battle.
All the difficult passages are now forced, and the combined armies have the keys to Paris, except the battle which the patriots are to fight in the plains of Champagne, behind Chalons, but it is feared their courage will not await the Austrians and Prussians.
LONDON, Sept. 20.
A young woman of the name of Lacombe was among the ranks of the patriots who boldly stormed the palace of the Thuilleries, amidst the havoc made by the fire of the Swiss guards.
Whilst the battle raged, she fought as if she had been equally a stranger to fear and to humanity, but when the enemy was overcome, and resistance was at an end, she appeared in the amiable garb of humanity, defending from violence and outrage, men who, having thrown down their arms, confessed themselves vanquished, and sued for quarter.
In one place she saved 70 Swiss soldiers from immediate slaughter, and collecting a chosen band of Federists, she put herself at their head, and placing
these 70 men in the centre, protected them through crowds of people, who cried out for their blood, which they said ought to be shed to revenge the death of the brave patriots whom these Swiss had slain.
But this truly gallant Amazon declared, that those who should attack these disarmed prisoners must first take her life:—nor did she quit them till she had conveyed them to prison, and thus secured them from every other vengeance save that of the law.
The Federists of the 83 departments, who had witnessed both her bravery in the attack, and her humanity after victory, bestowed upon her a civic crown, as the reward of her virtues. She appeared, on Saturday last, at the bar of the National Assembly, and presented this crown to the president, as homage paid to the patriotism of the Legislature.
She was invited to sit within the bar; and honorable mention of her and her offering was made in the journals.
The Empress of Russia is said to have declared WAR against France.
M. Feriere, whose principles are well known, is appointed to the command at Huningue, in the room of M. Martignac.
The garrison at Lisle are preparing, by reinforcements and by increasing their stores for a siege.
M. Dumourier's army is estimated in Paris at 54,000 men, and M. Kellerman was daily expected to join it, when the united army would amount to an hundred thousand men. M. Luckner, it was thought, would shortly have sixty thousand men at Chalons. M. Biron has fifteen thousand men under him at Wissemburg.
A stratagem of General Wimpin, the Commander of Thionville, is much praised. On the 11th inst. he made a prodigious fire in the market place, the flames of which were mistaken by the enemy, for a fire among the houses kindled by their bombs. They immediately made an assault. A detachment from the garrison took them in flank, while the cannon of the place played upon their front, and they were presently routed with the loss of three hundred men, left dead upon the spot. Upon the whole, Thionville has already cost the enemy a thousand men, besides an immense quantity of cannon and bombs sunk in the Moselle.
The following is the letter, written by the Electoral Assembly of the department of Puy-de-Dome to Mr. Payne:
Riom, Sept. 8.
"Thomas Paine—the Electoral Assembly of Puy-de-Dome, in its sitting has chosen you a member of the National Convention. Your love of humanity, of liberty and equality, the useful works which have issued from your heart and your pen, to defend them, have determined this choice. It was received by universal and reiterated plaudits. Come, friend of men, increase the number of patriots in an assembly, which is to fix the fate of a great people, and, perhaps, that of the human race."
"The time of happiness, which you have foretold for nations, is arrived. Come, do not deceive their wish."
(Signed) The Members of the Electoral Assembly of the Department of Puy-de-dome
PARIS, Sept 30.
Operation of the Armies.
On Thursday morning the 20th, M. Severn announced to
the National Assembly, that he had received a dispatch from M. Dumourier, stating, that the several detachments expected, had joined his army; that he was, at the moment of writing, equal in force to the enemy. That he had under his command, 70,000 men, 12,000 of which were cavalry. He says, that the whole army had demanded the punishment of the runaways; that he had deprived them of their uniforms; he doubts not but there are many in his army sold to the enemy, but that the late executions he has made will keep the rest in their duty. That his army now is ardent to engage; and he concludes, "what may I hope to do now, when I have been able to resist the enemy with inferior forces."
M. Rules writes to the Minister, that the invasion of the French territories in the department of the lower Rhine, is reduced to a mere nothing.
The Austrians remained only a few minuets in the village of Berth. The peasants who favored that invasion are seized and delivered up to the tribunals.
After these letters had been read, M. Merlin informed the Assembly that he had received accounts of the reinforcement destined for Thionville having entered that place without the knowledge of the enemy. The following decree was passed with much applause.
1. M. Wimpfen, the troops of the line, and the volunteers who compose the garrison of Thionville, and the citizens of that town have honorably discharged their duty.
2. An extract from the process verbal shall be addressed to them, to the 83 departments, and to the army, and also to the three Hussars, who while the enemy invested that town, were not afraid to brave the dangers which threatened them, and carried to the place of their destination some dispatches entrusted to their care. The Executive Power is ordered to devise some mode of rewarding and promoting these brave Hussars.
3. A fund shall be committed to the disposal of the Minister of War, for erecting barracks at Thionville.
The increase of volunteers is prodigious. Two thousand four hundred now leave Paris daily; and a greater number would go but that the measures taken for their accommodation upon the road do not permit it.
From several villages, every man able to bear arms is enlisted, and preparing to march,—The little community of Fontenay, has contributed forty men equipped and provisioned.
The works of the Parisian camp from Montmarere, as far as the road to St. Denis, are
much advanced. The lines are traced as far as Villette. Three hundred thousand pounds of powder has been sent from Paris to the army, and an equal quantity remains there and at St. Denis, seven hundred thousand pounds more are immediately expected, together with 400 pieces of cannon. A vessel loaded with forty thousand pounds arrived on Thursday, which quantity was taken to the invalids to be formed into cartridges. An arsenal is to be formed in the middle of the Palais Royal, in which a great number of cannon will be preserved for all emergencies.
The administrators of the department of the north have informed the Assembly, that they are now raising twenty thousand National Guards, all armed and equipped.
DUBLIN, Sept. 28.
By a letter received yesterday from Abbeville, from a gentleman of character and fortune, by his kinsman here a person of veracity and distinction, we learn that a column of 100,000 national troops, with several trains of artillery, had passed the neighbourhood of that town on its way to the frontiers from the South West Departments of France; and that two other columns, equal in number to this one, from the Centre and Eastern Departments of the South, were on their march in parallel lines: these enormous armies, the writer adds, are inspired with the same enthusiastic design to destroy the invading armies, or perish in the attempt. Such is the quarter from which this intelligence comes, that we cannot doubt of its authenticity.
The Minister of France, tho' no longer acknowledged by the States General, remains still at the Hague.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Lisbon, to a gentleman in Maryland, dated Sept. 11.
"We take the present opportunity of informing you, that there is a very flattering prospect of grain being in demand, in our market, during the ensuing winter and spring.
"Respecting wheat, the greater part at present in our stores is damaged; the harvest of our country has been but indifferent; the advices of our correspondents in Spain are to the same effect; and Italy, which used to furnish considerably towards the consumptions of both Spain and Portugal, will this year supply little or nothing, the crop having fallen so short as to occasion the exportation from Sicily to be prohibited: Neither are we apprehensive that much will come from the north of Europe; the prices there, particularly in Holland, being on the rise, and many people deterred from venturing to this place by the

heavy losses suffered for some time past.
"Indian corn is likewise scarce in Naples, and on the borders of the gulph of Venice, from which parts we received so abundant a supply, in the beginning of the present year, as effectually to prevent the advantageous sale of that from America; our advices are that this will certainly not be the case in the spring of next year, and we are, in consequence, persuaded that your corn will find here a favorable market."
Extract of a letter from Holland, dated Sept. 1792.
"You have already been informed that our Governour has prohibited the importation of Tea, coming from your ports, and now has laid an additional duty of one per cent. on all American imports, and half per cent. on exports for your continent.—This measure has been taken to counter balance the prohibition lately made on your side of Holland Gin in cases; which article was one of the few we are able to furnish you with, in return for so many cargoes of Tobacco, Rice, &c. we do annually receive from North America. As, by this innovation, your trade is to suffer much more than ours, your rulers may, of course be convinced of the truth of that French adage, "qui trop embasse mal etreint."
WILMINGTON, Nov. 10.
Accounts are received by express from the westward, that nine hundred Indians had attacked a fort near Cumberland river, but that they were repulsed with great slaughter.
From a London Paper.
FRIDAY evening, about dusk, a fellow with a black face, and taken for a negro, had the audacity to stop a gentleman with a lady in a single horse chaise, the other side of Barné's Common, and robbed them of their watches and a purse of money. The villain did not discover the least fear; but when asked by the gentleman, upon giving up his money, if he belonged to Africa; replied, speaking the purse,—"Yes, in the Guinea trade."
BOSTON, Nov. 28.
On Friday last, a very severe north-east storm commenced, and continued until Sunday morning, attended, we hear, with much loss to the mercantile interest.
In this storm, the ship Rodney, of London, Capt. Wbytock, which sailed from this port on Thursday last, went on shore at Marshfield, and was entirely lost. She had rid out the gale until seven o'clock, on Sunday morning, when striking the ledges with great force, her upper works separated from the hull, and went on shore, with all the ship's company, who were thus providentially saved—The Captain's lady was among the number. The ship was loaded with lumber, and had a great number of cattle and horses upon deck, all of which were lost. The attention and assistance afforded by the people of Marshfield to the unfortunates, reflect much credit on them—and the commiseration shown by the public on the loss, must afford much consolation to the distressed.
A brig belonging to Mr. Parsons, of this town, we are told, is ashore at Lynn-Beach, and two coasters in the outer harbor of this port.
ORDAINED,
At Scituate, 15th inst. Mr. Nehemiah Thomas. At Needham, the Rev. Stephen Palmer.
December 3.
Extract of a letter from Hispaniola, dated October 15.
"A ship arrived at Cayes, with 350 men of the battalion of Aube. These troops, who were much abused by the enemies of the public good, appear to be well disposed, perfectly well disciplined, and shew great impatience to be led against the revolted."
"The ship St. Anne, which brings the remainder of the battalion, appeared for a moment, but was again driven out to sea by the currents."
"It is time France should think of us. Fifteen days more and all was lost."
"We wish much for the arrival of M. de Montesquieu, to re-establish good order and enforce that obedience which is due to legal authority."
"We just now hear, and the intelligence may be depended on, that Cavillon, Jeremie, Cayemitee, Petit Trout, and L'Anse a Veau, have surrounded the rebels of Petit Trout, had pursued them for nine days, and killed almost the whole of them—the survivors prayed for mercy, and all is restored to order. It should be observed that they had as commander no agent of the old executive."
Extract of a letter from Paris.
"There are but two parties in all this country—those of the one party think the Duke of Brunswick's army ought to be defeated—and those of the other (by far the most numerous) are decidedly of opinion, not only that the Duke's army ought, but that they must and will be defeated."
It is said that the commissioners appointed to settle the accounts between the several states, will make their report to the President early in the present session, in order that provision may be made by the legislature for the balance due to particular states. Massachusetts and South-Carolina are the two states who are expected to have the largest balances.
By a late statement of the different tribes of Indians in America, fit to bear arms, their numbers amount to 58,930—of whom, it is computed, there may be about 35,000 warriors.
Nearly 400 persons have had the Small Pox in the town of Worcester, since September last, 4 caught it the natural way, 3 of whom died; and only 1 who took it by inoculation.—The town is now cleared, one person excepted who is at a Hospital.
SHIP NEWS.
The Brig Jeanie, from Glasgow, on her passage to New-York, off the coast of Ireland, and about 20 leagues at Sea, fell in with an open boat, having on board four young gentlemen belonging to Cork, who had
lost their way in a fog. Capt. Martin very humanely took them on board, and brought them to New-York.
NEWBURY-PORT, Nov. 28.
On Monday last, agreeably to notification in the Essex Journal of the 21st inst. the BRIDGE over MERRIMACK-RIVER, between the towns of Salisbury and Newbury, was opened for the use of the Public; the day before which, a ship of 350 tons passed under the great arch, which is by far the largest on this continent.
Essex Merrimack-Bridge contains upwards of six thousand tons of timber; and is formed of several arches and solid piers, the dimensions of which are as follows, viz.
   Feet.     Abutment on the Salisbury-shore, 124   Water-Course, 50   Pier, 45   Water-Course, 60   Pier, 50   Draw, 40   Pier, 50   Arch, 113   Abutment on the North shore of Deer-Island, 60   Abutment on the South shore of Deer-Island, 93   Arch, 160   Abutment on the Newbury-shore, 185   Whole length of the Bridge, 1030   Width of the Bridge, 34   Average depth of water at common High-Water-mark, 30   Height of Arch between Newbury and Deer-Island, above common high-water-mark, 37   Height of Abutments above common high-water-mark, 30

The disunion that has been so much talked of in France appears to have arisen wholly from schemes and artifices of the royalists and retainers to despotism, actuated by the King and his family. Since the suspension of the Monarch, and his confinement, the most authentic accounts represent the nation as UNITED against all its enemies. Should this really be the case when the amazing strength of the nation is considered it is evident it will be at their own option to adopt what government they see fit. The number of persons capable of bearing arms, in France, is six million, seven hundred thousand,—whereas the whole combined force that can be brought to act against them cannot exceed two hundred and fifty thousand.
By a document presented to the House of Representatives of the U. S. on the 12th ult. from the Treasury department, it appears, that the total amount of public expenditures, from the first establishment of that Department, to the end of the year 1791, amounts to 3,797,436 dollars 78 cents. The total amount of money received during the same period, 4,771,342 dollars 43 cents, leaving a balance of 973,905 dollars 65 cents in the Treasury at the expiration of the year 1791.
FROM CAPE-FRANCOIS.
We are informed, that the Colonial Assemblies of Cape-Francois are abolished, and all public business done by twelve Commissioners, six of whom are White, and six Mulattoes; who are to continue to transact business 'till a new assembly is chosen.—Times continue troublesome—the Negroes burn all in their power—and produce very scarce, except coffee.
During the present sitting of our legislature, the arrangement of the Militia, agreeably to the act of Congress, is doubtful, a measure that will attract their attention. Discipline, uniform discipline, must be established, and the citizens must submit to it, or commit the protection of their lives, liberty and property unto the hands of mercenary
troops. The act of Congress has laid down the outlines for the different States to be governed by in framing this law, but it requires the sapience of a Solon, to fill the blanks; and, among the rest, exemption claims not the least. It is likewise hoped they will have retrospect to that part of the law which obliges every man to furnish arms, &c. at his own expence, which, if not alleviated by the lenient hand of our law-makers, will be oppressive and intolerant to a useful class of people who have not basked in the sunshine of prosperity.
On Friday the 2d ult. was executed in Hillsborough, Orange county, North-Carolina, SAMUEL FULLER, of Granville county, for the horrid murder of his own son.
From the latest returns of the French armies to the minister of war, it appears that there are at least two millions of men in arms.
Mr. William Longstreet, of Augusta in Georgia, has lately completed the model of a new invented steam engine, calculated for moving all kinds of heavy machinery. This engine is so constructed and applied to saws, as to perform from forty to forty-five strokes with each in a minute, without the complication of wheels, cogs, or cranks; and all its operations are managed by a single cock. The inventor asserts that his machinery may be so applied as to grind 150 bushels of grain per day, or saw 2000 feet of inch boards in the same time.
The encampment of the combined armies against France, near Thionville, the 17th of August, extended nearly seventeen miles.
A gentleman who was lately in Paris, and had an opportunity of observing the proceedings of the National Assembly, informs us, that he never saw business so quickly dispatched by any public body; and, says our correspondent the truth is, that comparatively speaking, there is no difference of opinion amongst the French Patriots.
