FRENCH PROCLAMATION.
To the army of the Western Pyrenees, and the Spaniards of the frontiers.
Brave Soldiers!
T HE moment of victory has at length arrived, which proves that this army is the worthy sister of those of the North and South; that, by their example, you will also avenge your country, overturn the despots, and sacrifice their satellites; that, like them, after purifying the land of liberty, fulfilled by the presence of slaves, you will bear the triumphant arms of the Republic into the territory of the enemy, and there display the tri-coloured standard of freedom.
In penetrating into the enemy's territory, brave soldiers, we need not stimulate your courage: You are always eager to combat and to conquer; but we recommend to your consideration what the French people have proclaimed everywhere—"War to the palace, peace to the cottage—War against tyrants and their satellites, peace to the peaceable citizens, to the humble abode of the indigent, to the abode of the useful labourer and industrious artisan." This conduct, as it arises from our feelings, is also dictated by our interest.
The Spanish territory, upon which we now enter, will become part of the French Republic. Let therefore devastation, pillage and incendiary be far from you; let the fearful inhabitant behold his asylum respected, and learn at length to esteem a people, the avengers of the violated rights of human nature, whom kings and priests have represented to them as a people of Anthropophagi.
And you, inhabitants of the Spanish fields and towns, useful labourers, industrious artisans, fly not the Republican legions; throw yourselves into our arms, without weapon, without defence, and you will find in them protection and safety for yourselves, your families, and your property. The French soldier has sworn to exterminate the men armed for tyrants; but the sword so dreadful to such, will always respect him, who, defenceless, shall implore his assistance and his clemency. He will equally respect opinions, manners, customs and usages. Remain, therefore, in your peaceful dwellings, cultivate your fields, gather in your harvests, work at your occupations, and liberty, growing in the midst of you, will soon make you feel the immense distance between the avengers of the rights of men, and the slaves that move within the verge of despotism.
The French soldier would conquer you to freedom, not by the terror of his arms; but by gaining your hearts, and illuminating your minds. (Signed) PINET, the Elder.
GARRAU. CAVAIGNAC.
PROCLAMATION,
FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF SPAIN TO THE SPANISH NATION.
Brave Spaniards!
As I only intend to lay before your eyes truths that will cause your fears to subside, and only ask of you to listen to me attentively; my solicitude gives me a right to require it, and your own interest warrants it.
I am well aware that venal and poisonous pens will endeavour to picture the late fate of war as the depth of misfortune; that bold and calumniating tongues will represent the impetuosity of the enemy as irresistible. I know that traitors to God, to the King, and your cause, will not be silent, but will use every means of bringing you over to their sentiments; that their seducing language will represent to you every thing as possible; that the venal spy will endeavour to engage you among insurmountable precipices; but at the same time I am acquainted with your loyalty; the King knows it, and confides in your fortitude against the torrent of evil-advisers. Do you feel the true extent of our resources? Be assured, that they are sufficient, when combined, not only to drive the enemy as soon as they shall begin to act, but that the King hopes to see that enemy crushed on the arrival of the reinforcements which have begun to march, and which are animated by the most ardent desire to meet the enemy, rather than to take rest in camp.
Spaniards!
Can 30,000 weak and undisciplined men, wage a serious war upon us on the side of Navarre and Biscay. They are not, and cannot be in greater numbers, owing to the state of the frontier provinces. The combined armies in the North require their first attention, and while the French appear augmenting their forces, they in fact diminish. It is by violent means that their people are forced to their armies. Terror and the guillotine are the springs of all their operations, and they excite hatred and despair. You see that the sacred right of property no longer exists among them; you see that justice has disappeared from among them, and you see, that under a fallacious cover of right, they have succeeded in bringing into subjection men, but in the end they make slaves of them.
Unfortunately our cities and villages have experienced this fatal ill. Scarcely one inhabitant did they leave free when they made their incursion. This incursion is not astonishing, it is a consequence of their unbounded stupidity; but weigh the motive, and judge of the insufficiency of their arms to pursue their advantages.
Could you imagine that 20 or 30,000 men would be able to subject our provinces, if we bent our endeavours to destroy them? Look into history; the innumerable examples of a wonderful defence made against mightier attacks will be the answer.
It is not surprising that they should at this time have seized upon an open country; but they can form from that no pretensions to victory. The nature of the country alone must stop their career. Be well assured that the experienced
and brave General who commands our forces, will permit them to keep what they have usurped only so long as they shall not incommode him; and as soon as he shall undertake to destroy them, he shall succeed. Dispel therefore the fears with which you may have been impressed; but at the same time make an effort to secure yourselves in your homes. God, his sacred law commands it, and reflect that your fields will not afford you their produce unless you fly under his banners. He will then assist you and he will fight for you. Pray to him sincerely, and implore his protection. To this effect public prayers shall also be offered.
But do not let your present situation discourage you. Do not imagine that our affairs have reached the last extremity of danger. Means of opposing the enemy are not wanting. The King will bring down their insolence and pride by taking himself the command of his Catholic army. Your Sovereign reposes all confidence in Spanish loyalty, and he endeavours to make return for it by limiting as much as possible his Royal pomp, that new imposts may be avoided; diminishing his expenses as much as the honour of his crown permits. This measure, and his paternal care evinced by his constant attendance to the dispatch of public business, to administer justice, deserve an extraordinary reward. Let us imitate his indefatigable zeal, let us fulfil our duties, and by vigour in the present moment let us secure our felicity.
Let peace and tranquility among you make return for the upright intentions of your King, and all his faithful subjects shall receive marks of his goodness. Weigh, dear fellow-citizens, the sincere effusions of my heart, and you will find truth and candor have been my guides. I have no other end in view but your tranquility, and to rouse your spirit to destroy a horde of banditti who wish to disturb our quiet. If I succeed in this, you will find in a few days the fruits of my endeavours. Assist my designs with your endeavours, and you will soon feel the advantages of your exertions. Religion will contribute to your triumph, and its aid will be without intermission, invoked for all by your true friend.
ALCUDIA.
LONDON, August 29.
It is reported, but we know not on what authority, that Sluys has at length been obliged to surrender to the French, and they next mean to attack successively, Phillipine, Sas de Grand, Axel and Hult. If the French succeed, it will render them masters of the right side of the Scheldt and entirely put a stop to the navigation of that river. The conquest, however, will not be an easy one, some of these places being, and all of them capable of being inundated in the vicinity.
Our Frankfort correspondent has communicated to us a circumstance, which must be productive of the most important effect on the operations of the war. He says that symptoms of insurrection have manifested themselves in various parts of the Empire. At Vienna, a conspiracy has recently been discovered, in which several persons of high rank were concerned.—Two hundred persons have already been arrested. Nor are the Northern Powers entirely free from the spirit of Revolution.
Some accounts from the Rhine mention, that Warsaw has surrendered to his Prussian Majesty by capitulation—Other and more probable accounts from Galicia state, that the Prussians were repulsed on the 31st ult. in an attack made on Kolkusko's entrenched camp.
We shall be sincerely happy to communicate to the public the pleasing intelligence of the complete discomfiture of the attempts of the Russians and Prussians against the liberties of Poland.
By the last intelligence from America, it would seem that the patience of the people of that country is nearly exhausted. It is there no longer a matter of doubt by whom the Indians are excited to those acts of depredations and murder which are daily committed upon the frontiers.
We can hardly bring ourselves to believe that such has been the diabolical policy of our government; but if conduct has so atrociously been pursued by ministers, or by those who act under them, and a war with America be the consequence, we do not hesitate to pronounce that such men should become the objects of the public justice of their country.
Yesterday Dr. Barrow and Dr. Watson were committed to Newgate, by the Rt. hon. the lord Mayor, for having in their custody divers seditious printed libels, with intent to publish them.
SEPTEMBER 5.
According to the accounts received by the Admiralty, the French have twenty-five ships of the line in Brest water ready for sea, and twelve others fitting. According to other accounts they have at Brest forty-two ships of the line, twenty-two of which were not in the action of the 1st of June.
By a vessel arrived from Virginia there is intelligence, that on the 12th inst. in lat. 48. 30. long. 17. he fell in with la Surveillante, of 48 guns, l'Ambuscade and l'Ariadne, of 40 guns each, who informed him that they had been out from Brest 14 days, and had taken several prizes: That there were two line of battle ships to the Northward, and two more to the Southward looking out for the fleet from America. On the 10th inst. in lat. 49. long. 7. he fell in with la Republicaine and la Glorieux, of 40 guns each, and la Fidelle. They had been out 14 days from Bourdeaux, and had taken 28 prizes.
The Belmont merchant ship, taken on her passage from London to the West-Indies, had
on board twelve or fifteen French emigrants, on their way to take possession of their Colonial property.
Last night died Mrs. Hardy, wife of Mr. T. Hardy, shoe maker, now confined in the Tower, under a charge of high treason. Mrs. Hardy a few moments only before she expired, solemnly declared, that the separation from her husband, and the uncertainty in which she was, respecting the time of his trial, was the occasion of her death.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
AUG. 12.
IMPORTANT.
The discussion of the new organization of the several committees recommenced, but the deliberations was soon after interrupted by the arrival of the Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States: He was conducted into the centre of the Hall, and a Secretary read the translation of his discourse and his credential letters, signed by George Washington, President of the United States of America, and Edmund Randolph, Secretary of State, at Philadelphia, the 28th of May. The reading of this was accompanied by repeated shouts of Vive la Republique, and universal acclamations of applause. The discourses, &c. were ordered to be printed in the French and American Languages.
The President gave the fraternal kiss to the Minister, and has declared, that he recognized James Munroe in this quality.
It was also decreed, on the motion of Moysse Bayle, that the colours of both nations should be suspended at the vault of the Hall, as a sign of perpetual alliance and union. The Minister took his seat on the mountain, on the left of the President, and he received the fraternal kiss from several Deputies. The sitting was suspended.
AUGUST 13.
On the 13th an engagement took place with a corps of the enemy, whose cannonade did not injure us in the least, and whom we soon forced to retreat. Another corps defended the post of Gravenmacher (a town on the Moselle in the dutchy of Luxembourg) but the trembling garrison evacuated this place, abandoned a vast magazine of oats and wheat, and retreated towards Luxembourg. The communication of this fortress with Treves and the Moselle is now entirely cut off.—On the 20th at nine o'clock in the evening we reached a bridge defended by a formidable artillery, which was soon swept away and abandoned entirely in less than an hour and an half.
The Austrians left here one cannon and an ammunition waggon, and besides the killed and wounded, 90 prisoners. The left column took during this time the famous Montagne Verie, (Green Mountain) where the tyrant Louis XVI. lost not less than 15,000 men, and before which a malevolent imposter of a general (Bournonville is here meant) was baffled.
The enemy left here 600 dead, a great many wounded, and 80 prisoners. Our loss in this engagement, does not exceed 30 men. Treves was in less than two hours surrounded on all sides, and the army entered it in two columns, on the 21st inst. at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The Aristocrats, Monks, Nuns, and Grandees, had betaken themselves to their heels, and the municipal officer came formerly dressed, to offer us the keys of the city, to congratulate the Republicans on their success, and to assure them, that they were very glad to see them.
The army kept its position on the eminences, which command the city. We are masters of the Moselle and the Sarre.
This happy news received uncommon applause. Ordered to be inserted in the bulletin and transmitted to all the armies.
SMYRNA.
The last letters from Smyrna state the situation of the English factors in that place, as extremely unpleasant. The French there exceed the English in the proportion of ten to one, and being protected by the Turks, have proceeded to such violence that an Englishman cannot walk the streets in safety; and our merchants have no mode of obtaining redress and respect, as we have not a single ship of war in that port. [London Paper.]
BALTIMORE, Sept. 26.
On Wednesday evening last the First Troop of the Baltimore Light Dragoons, commanded by Capt. Moore, arrived in town from Frederick, and yesterday morning, the whole detachment of volunteers, who so spiritedly marched in defence of the arms of our Commonwealth, arrived here all in high spirits. We are informed that in Hager's Town and its vicinity, about 110 of the insurgents have been made prisoners—among which is the chief demagogue of Washington County, who, it is expected, will be immediately executed as an example to deter others from such treasonable proceedings; that all those deluded people opposed to the excise law were so panic struck on the approach of our troops that they could not conceal their guilt, and surrendered without opposition—the most of them acknowledging their transgression and giving information of others; and that a sufficient force is stationed in Frederick, to protect that place in case the rioters should make any attempt, which is totally improbable.
October 24.
Extract of a letter dated Fort-Cumberland, Oct. 18, 1794, to a gentleman in this town. "We are now encamped at this place, on
the very spot where Gen. Braddock's marque was pitched, and are all very healthy, and have plenty of every thing necessary for people in our situation.
Last Wednesday, Gen. Smith arrived here, whom we and the Virginia brigade, went out about half a mile from this place to salute, (for, you must know that there are at this place about 2,300 Virginians, and nearly as many Marylanders, besides four fine troops of Horse and Stodder's Artillery) and on Thursday the President of the United States arrived, with a large retinue of general officers, and reviewed us, when he was pleased to make choice of Capt. Mackenheimer's company for his guards during his stay here.
Last night three commissioners came in and settled the business for Fayette county, to the satisfaction of the President—and I hope the rest will soon follow the example."
BEDFORD, October 18.
We still are uncertain as to what time we shall tarry here. Parties of horse are detached to scour the country:—Last night they brought in 10 of the Insurgents, and this day two or three. Among these are several notorious rebels; one being accused of forging letters, with the signature of the Governor, expressing a wish that "the people would persist in their opposition, and they would be protected." Another is accused of cutting, and a third of hewing the pole set up in this place. They have been examined, and committed to gaol to stand trial at the Federal Court to be held here.
The first 10 were taken about 12 miles distant (over the mountain) without any resistance, out of one house.
I am told that information is received that about 100 more are collected about 20 miles off; 'tis expected a party will be detached after them this evening.
SUNDAY MORNING, OCT. 19.
The Light Horse brought in about 10 more last night.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27.
We hear that the President of the United States is expected in town to-morrow, or next day. He left Bedford on the 24th inst.
By an express arrived this day, we hear that the army had marched forward from Bedford, on the 23d inst.
From BEDFORD, Oct. 17.
We arrived here this day about 12 o'clock accompanied by Capt. Lyman's company (on their way to Gen. Wayne) of regulars who joined us at our last encampment 6 miles distant. We are encamped on the South Commons.
We know not how long our stay will be here. Opinions are various; some suppose we shall proceed to Pittsburgh, if only to intimidate the inhabitants, while others imagine a party will be dispatched for apprehending Braddock and such of his adherents as can be found, to bring them to trial at the Federal Court, which will be soon held at this place.
We discovered during our journey very few traces of a discordant spirit in the inhabitants. A Pole had been set up at this place; but was soon cut down. In short the hydra of rebellion seems to disappear at the approach of the executors of the law; and we can see nothing but peaceful cots and happy cottagers through the country; and in the towns, a strict attention to business.
October 28.
The President of the United States has returned to town this day, in good health, from the westward, where resistance to the Federal Government seems, for the present, at an end.—The insurgents have been subdued rather by terror than by violence. So great a force was collected, as took away not only the power, but the hope of resistance, and by conquering without a battle, hath saved many from the sword; besides, perhaps, not a few from the gibbet.
NEW-YORK, October 22.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated 30th Aug. to a respectable house in this city.
"Several regiments are called from the provinces towards this capital. These movements are it is presumed to guard against any sudden attacks from the French, whose dispositions are no longer disguised, as they have lately captured and condemned some ships belonging to this port of considerable value."
OCTOBER 29.
IMPORTANT.
Dunkirk, the 23d Prairial, the 2d Year of the French Republic, and 11th of June, 1794. (O. S.)
Francis Coffyn, Agent for the United States of America at Dunkirk, to the Commanders, Officers and Seamen of American ships.
I herewith transmit you sundry dispatches, communicated to me by Citizen Dumey, Commander of the Naval Forces at this port, containing the information that the PLAGUE had broken out in Algiers, and in other parts on the coast of Barbary, and that another disorder which much resembles the former, makes great ravages in Spain; in consequence, you are invited to avoid in the course of your navigation, all communication with vessels coming from the Mediterranean, and from the ports of Spain, and with the Dutch ships of war.—These informations are too interesting to the human species, not to merit your strictest attention to what is here recommended to you.
(Signed) FRANCIS COFFYN.

A gentleman from Newport says, the account of the capture of Sluys, is authentic. We are not acquainted with the source from which our informant derives his information.
A rupture between the Empress of Russia and the Sublime Porte, may be expected. The "She Wolf" cannot remain quiet!
A gentleman from New-York, since mail, informs of the arrival there of the French squadron, lately cruising in the American seas. It consists of three frigates of forty-four guns, and some smaller vessels. Reports say, there are ships of the line among them.
It is well ascertained, that there is a French squadron of 7 ships, cut down 74's, and sloops, in the North Seas, another of 4 vessels of force on the coast of Holland, 16 large privateers from Dunkirk, &c. all of which are continually taking prizes.
One of the large line of battle ships, called L'Impetueux, lately captured by Earl Howe, took fire the latter end of August, in the harbor of Portsmouth and was entirely consumed—It appears that the most active exertions were conspicuous on this occasion by the seamen, in order to prevent her removal, whereby others might be endangered, which was effected. Some Spaniards who were on board fell a sacrifice to the flames.
A letter from Brest mentions, that since the execution of Robespierre, the guillotine at Paris has been taken down. Bompard is in prison, and Vandogen late of the Concorde has been slain in action.
November 10.
On Saturday morning arrived here the ship Nancy, Capt. Follet, from Liverpool, 57 days—brings advices as late as Sept. 13, from Liverpool. The French have captured Sluys and Breda, and were besieging Bergen-op-Zoom—which latter place is in the United Netherlands. Lord Howe's squadron was at sea, and consisted of 31 ships of the line. The passengers say, generally, that the Combined Armies were still retreating before the French, who were in great force.
Also, arrived the barque Harriot and Eliza, from Halifax. Papers by her to Oct. 30, mention the arrival of the September packet, from Falmouth.—The London accounts are to September 13—they confirm the accounts of the re-capture of Conde, Quesnoy, Valenciennes, and the capture of Breda, and Sluys, by the French. No prospect of peace; on the contrary the most active preparations are making for carrying on the war. In Piedmont, it is said, the French have met with a check, as also in Spain.
The following Late European Intelligence
was received by the above arrivals.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, 26th Thermidor.
A discussion on the constituting of various committees was interrupted by the introduction of the minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, JAMES MONROE.
Not being familiarly acquainted with the use of the French language, he asked that one of the secretaries would be good enough to read the translation of his discourse, which was as follows:
ADDRESS.
Citizen-President, and Representatives of the French people,
My admission into this Assembly, and into the presence of the French nation (for all citizens of France are here represented) in order to be received as the Representative of the American Republic, affects my sensibility in a manner that I cannot explain.
I consider it as a new proof of the friendship and esteem which the French Nation has always testified towards its allies the United States of America.
Republics ought to draw nearer towards each other. In many points of view they have the same interests, but a maxim so generally true, is particularly so with respect to the French and American Commonwealths. Their governments have much analogy to each other. They both cherish like principles, and repose on a similar basis, to wit, the unalienable and equal Rights of Man. The remembrance even of common dangers can but augment their harmony, and cement their union. America has had her days of oppression, of difficulty and war; but her sons were brave and virtuous, and the storm which so long obscured her political horizon, is disappeared, and bath left her in the full enjoyment of peace, of liberty, and of independence.
France, our ally and our friend, who assisted us in our struggle, is now launched into the same honorable career, and I am happy to be able to add, that whilst the perseverance, the magnanimity, and heroic valour of her troops command the admiration and applause of an astonished world, the wisdom and the firmness of her councils equally promise the most fortunate success. America is not an insensible spectator of your efforts, in the present crisis—I lay before you, in the declarations of each branch of our government, declarations founded on the affections of the mass of our citizens, the most convincing proof of their sincere attachment for the liberty, prosperity and happiness of the French Republic. Every member of Congress, according to the mode of deliberation established in that body, hath desired the President to inform you of these sentiments and in fulfilling the desire of the two Houses, I am instructed, by the President, to add, that they also express his own feelings.
The powers confided to me, being recognized
by you—I promise myself the greatest satisfaction in the exercise of my functions, as I am intimately persuaded, that in obeying the impulses of my own heart, and in forming the warmest wishes for the liberty and happiness of the French nation, I shall best explain the wishes and sentiments of my own country, and in doing every thing in my power to preserve and perpetuate the good harmony so happily existing between the two Republics, I shall render the best service to them both.
Towards this object all my efforts shall be directed. If I am fortunate enough to merit the approbation of the two Republics, I shall regard it as the happiest event of my life, and I shall afterwards retire with the conscious pleasure of having shared feelings with those whose intentions are upright, and who serve the cause of Liberty.
The loud and universal applause which had accompanied the Minister at his entrance, frequently interrupted his discourse.
The Secretary then read his Letter of Credentials, whereupon the President of the National Convention made the following
ANSWER.
The French people have not forgotten that it is to the American people they owe their initiation to the cause of Liberty; it was in admiring the sublime insurrection of the American People, against that Albion, once so haughty, but now so humbled; it was in taking themselves arms to second your courageous efforts, and in cementing your independence by the blood of our bravest warriors, that the French people learned in their turn to break the sceptre of Tyranny, and to elevate the statue of Liberty on the wreck of a throne supported during fourteen centuries only by crimes and by corruption.
How then should it happen that we should not be friends? Why should we not associate the mutual means of prosperity that our commerce and navigations offers to two people freed by each other? But it is not merely a diplomatic alliance. It is the sweetest fraternity, and the most frank at the same time, that must unite us, this it is that indeed unites us; and this union shall be forever indissoluble, as it shall be forever the dread of tyrants, the safeguard of the liberty of the world, and the preserver of all the social and philanthropic virtues.
In bringing to us, citizen, the pledge of this union so dear to us, then could it not fail to be received with the liveliest emotions. It is now five years since an usurper of the sovereignty of the people would have received thee with the pride which belongs alone to vice; and he had thought it much to have given it to the minister of a free people some tokens of an insolent protection. But to day the sovereign people themselves by the organ of their faithful representatives receive thee; and thou seest the tenderness, the effusion of soul that accompanies this simple and touching ceremony.—I am impatient to crown thee with fraternal embrace which I am ordered to give thee in the name of the French people. Come and receive it in the name of the American people, and let this spectacle complete the annihilation of the last hopes of an impious coalition of tyrants.
The Minister then advanced and mounted up to the President's Chair, where he received the embrace in the midst of the loudest and most ratiated plaudits; after which he took his seat among the Representatives.
The Convention then declared its recognition of the Minister to the French Republic. The speeches pronounced on the occasion, were ordered to be translated into all the languages; and the American colours were suspended from the roof of the hall of Liberty along with those of the French, in testimonial of the intimate union of the two people.
Imagination cannot do sufficient justice to this majestic scene, so touching, effecting and penetrating to every spectator. The hall was as full as it could hold; the Minister himself being deeply impressed.
Merlin of Douai the 38th, President.
Barrere appeared at the Tribune. The army of the Western Pyrenees continue the successes, which the taking of the Feunterabia has made us expect. On the 1st inst. our heroes took 30 redoubts of the enemy; on the 2d they drove the Spaniards from several formidable forts; on the 3d, they presented themselves before St. Sebastian, and on the 4th the Alcaide (chief magistrate) delivered the keys of that fortress—2000 men laid down their arms, and are prisoners of war, more than 180 brass cannon, immense magazines, provisions of all kinds, and 25 Spanish vessels; these are but one part of the advantages which this victory offers.
The very day of the taking of St. Sebastian, 25 Spanish vessels entered its port.
On the other side, the advanced troops of our army have made themselves masters of Tolosa, (the best town of Guipuscoa or the river Orio in the interior.) The province of Guipuscoa, which seems to be the natural barrier between France and Spain, has desired, to form part of the Republic.
The National Convention being informed afterwards, that the Spanish Generals, in spite of the sacred rights of nations, had violated the capture of Collionre, by refusing to release an equal number of French officers, for those Spanish officers, sent away on their parole has denounced to all Europe this heinous perfidy, and decreed, that in case that treaty should not be executed, no quarters should be given to the Spaniards, neither in battle nor camps. The Convention delivered at the same time Spanish Cerdagne (part of Catalonia) from feodality. Lastly it was decreed, that the army of the Western Pyrenees did not cease to deserve well of their country.
August 17.
Barrere announced to the Convention the re-capture of Quesnoy, in the following terms: "Of four places delivered up to the Austrians, two have surrendered to the Republic. You learned a few days ago the re-capture of Landrecies; Your Committee now announces to you that of Quesnoy. Three thousand slaves composing the garrison, surrendered at discretion to the valiant Republicans, who for several days braved the rain, and bullets of the enemy, penetrating to the gates of the place, in trenches filled with water, amidst a shower of balls and grape shot. The surrendered garrison is kept until the Convention shall order how it is to be disposed of, and what is the treatment reserved for it. Our people are searching for the concealed emigrants, forty of whom have already been taken, and will instantly suffer the penalty provided by law."
August 30.
Carnot read letters, informing the Convention of the surrender of Valenciennes, Conde, and Sluys.
September 1.
A letter was read from the army of the North, informing the Convention, that Conde submitted at the hour prescribed by the decree of the Convention.—The number of prisoners amounts to 1600—161 pieces of cannon—6000 muskets—100,000 balls, bombs, and shells—1,500,000 cartridges—600,000 pounds of powder, &c. were found in the garrison.
LONDON, Sept. 12.
By a dispatch, which has been received by the right honorable Henry Dundas, one of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, from the right hon. R. Mulgrave, dated Flushing, August 26, 1794, it appears that the garrison of Sluys surrendered to the enemy on the 26th of that month.
The terms of capitulation had not hitherto been received.
The French by the capitulation of Sluys, have acquired the enormous number of 400 pieces of brass cannon, 4000 prisoners, and a proportionate quantity of military stores.
From the Boston CHRONICLE, Nov. 10.
Political summary.
By a Halifax paper of the 30th ult. we have the very agreeable intelligence confirmed, past even the affected incredulity of the aristocratic party to contravert. That Sluys has submitted to the arms of the republic of France. The article of capitulation we have not yet seen—We hear however, that the French in this important fortification, took no less than 400 pieces of brass ordnance, and 4000 soldiers, who were made prisoners of war.
Valenciennes, Quesnoy, Conde and Landrecies, the only places which have in that quarter, been taken from France, are all of them re-taken; Valenciennes, in particular, cost the British millions to reduce it. But alas!—this important inlet to France, through which the despotic troops were to overrun the Republic, is no longer in the hands of the Austrians. They are probably extirpated or made prisoners of war; while the victorious troops of our allies, are advancing to the assistance of the northern army, who have commenced their operations against Holland, by the siege of Breda.
It is said, that one hundred thousand patriots of the second requisition, are to be added to the army on the frontiers of Holland. These with the troops who have just performed the signal achievements of reducing to obedience those strong holds in French Flanders which had sustained the efforts of the Austrians and British for almost a whole campaign, will be a most powerful reinforcement to the northern troops, destined to change the government of the Dutch, and to bring it to its primitive standard. Accidents are inseparable from warlike operations. But independent of these, we may predict the happiest effects from the present armaments. We sincerely respect the Dutch nation—and we as sincerely hope them, (tho' the intervention of France) a good government, founded on the rights of the natural equality of mankind.
The French marine is successful beyond measure—One hundred and three British vessels were captured by the French in August last.
The Convention it is said, are determined in order to give the finishing blow to the pride and the power of England, and then to secure the cause of liberty every where, to take all vessels bound to or from any of the ports of Great Britain, which may have been insured in that ill-fated kingdom. This will check the destructive trade of that nation with the United States, and bring her soon to terms of reason.
Another singular instance of her ridiculous pride, has discovered itself to the astonishment of every body—She was at first an ally in the war—But she is now the principal—She has subsidized the Emperor to continue his own quarrel, at the enormous expence of seven millions sterling.
In short, the affairs of England never looked so disastrous, as they do at present; nor the affairs of our allies so prosperous.

MARINE JOURNAL.
Monday, arrived the ship Mary Ford, of London. This ship was picked up at sea, by the ship George, of this place, without a soul on board. The second mate and two men of the George, navigated and brought her to this port. She is a fine ship of 3 or 400 tons, deeply loaded with wines and sugars, and is the
fame vessel that was boarded by Capt. CUNNINGHAM, from London.
From Fenn's Philadelphia Paper.
UPTON, in Still-water, Oct. 11, 1794.
There is a report in circulation, that at least bears the appearance of probability, that Gen. Wayne, has (since the defeat of the savages) attacked the British garrison at the Miamis, commanded by the [in]vincible Major Campbell, which he took at the point of the bayonet.
From NEW-YORK, Nov. 2.
The brig Fox, arrived yesterday from Antigua, brings Antigua papers of Oct. 13, which contain the following important article:
"That upwards of Seventy Transports have arrived at Spithead with British troops from Holland, so that the prosecution of the continental war seems now to be entirely abandoned."
These papers also contain the following important articles:
"The British camp at Guadalupe, which General Graham commanded, has capitulated; and we understand the General and little army are to be sent to England, not to serve against the French during the present war."
"By the last accounts from Guadalupe, we are informed, that the French were within a very few miles of Basse Terre."
Thus is all Guadalupe in the hands of the Carmagnoles; a circumstance which will considerably affect the politics of the British Cabinet—but doubtless the royal edicts will still consider this place in a state of siege.
We published some time since the letter to Messrs HARRISON and ANSLEY, mentioning the revocation of the June orders by the Court of St. James, we now give the Proclamation referred to in that letter.
INSTRUCTIONS
To the Commanders of all Ships of war and Privateers, that have or may have Letters of Marque against France: Given at our Court at St. James's the 18th August, 1794.
WHEREAS by an article of our instructions to the commanders of our ships of war and Privateers having letters of Marque against France, given at our court of St. James's the 8th day of June 1793. We thought fit to declare—That it should be lawful to stop and detain all ships laden wholly or in part with corn, flour or meal, bound to any port in France, and to send them into such ports as should be most convenient, in order that such corn, meal and flour might be purchased on behalf of our Government, and the ships be released after such purchase, and after a due allowance for freight, or that the master of said ships, on giving due security to be approved by our courts of admiralty, should be permitted to proceed to dispose of their cargoes of corn, meal and flour, in the ports of any country in amity with us.
We not judging it expedient to continue for the present, the purchase of said cargoes on behalf of our government, are pleased to revoke the said article, until our further order therein, and to declare that the same shall no longer remain in force: But we strictly enjoin all commanders of our ships of war and privateers to observe the remaining articles of the said instructions, and likewise all other instructions which we have issued and which still continue in force.
Mr. Humphreys late Commissioner of the United States to the Dey of Algiers, has published a most pathetic address to the citizens of America, on account of their unhappy brethren in Algiers—the plague sweeps them away in numbers, and threatens to leave scarcely a wretch behind—Thanks to the British—This terrible scourge has been inflicted by their deep and crooked policy.

Extract of a letter, dated Port de Paix, 7th Vendemiaire, (Sept. 28.)
"The brave General Laveaux has taken the parish of Borgne which had been sold to the Spaniards. The attack and defence were vigorous."
Many French emigrants assisted these cowardly enemies in their resistance to the arms of the Republic; but the thunder of Laveaux's artillery struck with terror and dismay the legions of tyrants. During the night the Spaniards and their base coadjutors emigrated after having spiked their cannon. One frigate and three privateers conveyed them to Fort Dauphin.
"In two advanced posts taken by the Republicans from the enemy, 112 Spaniards and French traitors were put to the sword."
"The slaves of tyrants had not time to carry off their ammunition: a considerable quantity has fallen into our hands. We lost but very few men owing to the prudence of Laveaux."
"As it is necessary to enable you to silence calumny, and as we know very well that there are on the continent a number of enemies of our excellent constitution, and consequently enemies to all the republicans who have remained at St. Domingo, to strike off the head of the leopard who has done so much mischief in this colony, I send you enclosed documents which show, that we respect the property under the sanction of the flag of our friends the Americans, though certain that that property belonged to a traitor, who calls himself supercargo of an American cargo."
