PHOCION—No. IX.
IN the last number I have disproved Hampden's charge against Mr. Adams, of having uniformly voted in the senate against the opinion of the repre- sentatives, and have produced a strong instance to show not only the absolute falsehood of the charge, but that Mr. Adams had laid it down as a rule, to vote with the representatives, in cases of equal divi- sion in the senate, unless his judgment was very clearly and strongly convinced that he ought to vote differently.
I could produce some other instances of his ha- ving pursued that line, but one pointed case was suf- ficient to convict Hampden of a false assertion. This specimen of his liberality and candor will give a just idea of the credit to be given to the rest of his assertions. The refutation of this, and the pre- ceding charges, to positively made, will also put the good citizens of this country on their guard against similar charges produced by Mr. Jefferson's parti- zans, against Mr. Adams.
Where did Hampden find the fact? if in the journals of the senate, let him produce the cases, for they are all stated in the journals; if those be referred to, I am convinced as many instances can be found where Mr. Adams voted on the one side as on the other. Hearsay and mere report are not sufficient grounds of condemnation before the en- lightened tribunal of the public; the mere assertions of Hampden will certainly not be credited after this detection. It seems to be the peculiar charac- teristic of those, who like themselves in this country, the exclusive patriots, the true democrats, to build up their own reputation on the ruin of their adver- saries, and to support their system and importance by incessant detraction and the most barefaced false- hoods. But however they may have hitherto sup- ported a momentary consequence with a few unin- formed citizens, the light of truth will ere long dis- pel the baneful mists of calumny, with which they have enveloped the best men among us, and make these designing hypocrites skulk back into their na- tive obscurity.
If Mr. Adams has sometimes voted differently from the representatives, it is to be fairly presumed that his judgment so directed him; nor can it be presumed that in such cases he was clearly on the wrong side; when so enlightened a body as the se- nate are equally divided, the question will be allow- ed to be a nice one, and altho' it may have been carried in the representatives, yet the majority there may have been small, which indeed we know to have been usually the case in very important questions.
It by no means follows, as Hampden supposes, "that the opinion of the representatives must be always the opinion of the people." If so, all the senates, all the qualified negatives of the executives ought to be abolished: the affection is a libel on all the American constitutions, and a severe censure on Mr. Jefferson's doctrine, for he calls the mere will of the representatives (unchecked by the senate) an elective tyranny, the very definition of despotism. If Mr. Adams ought, against his decided judgment, to vote with the representatives on every equal division of the senate, that body would be a superfluous member of the constitution, and the constitution, now so much admired, converted to an elective des- potism.
The universal establishment of senates in the U- nited States, proves however, that our citizens think differently from Hampden on this subject, and their frequent approbation of the conduct of the senates and executives, in resisting the will of the repre- sentatives (frequently the momentary will of a wicked faction,) proves that they do not always consider their will as the opinion of the people. No act of the President's whole life has been more grateful to the people of America, or has added more to the lustre of his fame, than his resisting the will of the representatives on the late call for papers; which call is now viewed throughout the union in its true light, as a measure of party, merely designed to an- swer certain party views.
Thus we find Hampden's reasoning as false as his fact: he first assumes a fact, inconsistent with truth, and then argues on it on principles, totally inconsistent with the principles of the constitution and of public freedom, and in direct opposition to the very principles of his friend and patron.
Among the other merits of Mr. Jefferson, as sta- ted by Hampden, we find "his attachment to the CIVIL and RELIGIOUS rights of his fellow-citizens;" for the proof, we are referred to his writings and PUBLIC CONDUCT.
We have seen some specimens of his writings; from some parts we may infer a pretty strong dis- position to encroach on some of the civil rights of his fellow citizens, particularly in his project of a senate, which would undoubtedly, on his plan, estab- lish an aristocracy, very injurious to the rights of the poor class of his fellow-citizens.
But the proof of a steady attachment to the ci- vil rights of one's fellow-citizens ought not to rest merely on writings; this attachment ought to be evinced by public conduct, by action, and in times of danger; then the hazarding of personal safety for the preservation of our civil rights is the highest testimony of patriotism. There is no great merit in composing, in the cabinet, in seasons of tranquil- lity, essays on civil rights, which are frequently done to obtain popularity, and without any risk of per- sonal inconvenience.
It appears, however, that Mr. Jefferson, pursuing a different conduct, has generally sacrificed the ci- vil rights of his countrymen to his own personal safety. We are told, in a public address, by Mr. Charles Simms, of Virginia, who must have been well acquainted with the circumstance, "that Mr. Jefferson, when governor of Virginia, in the year 1781, abandoned the trust with which he was charg- ed, at the moment of an invasion by the enemy, by which, great confusion, loss and distress accrued to the state, in the destruction of public records and vouchers for general expenditures."
Now here was a period of public danger, when Mr. Jefferson's attachment to the civil rights of his countrymen might have shone very conspicuously, by facing and averting the danger; here would have been a fine opportunity for him to have dis-
played his public spirit in bravely rallying round the standard of liberty and civil rights: but, tho' in times of safety, he could rally round the stan- dard of his friend, Tom Paine, yet when real dan- ger appeared, the governor of the ancient dominion dwindled into the poor, timid philosopher, and in- stead of rallying his brave countrymen, he fled for safety from a few light-horsemen, and shamefully abandoned his trust!
Again, when the peace and tranquillity of the United States were in extraordinary peril, when it required the exertions and talents of the wisest and bravest statesmen to keep the federal ship from foundering on the rocks, with which she was en- compassed, he, when his aid was most essential, abandoned the old helmsman; and, with his wanted caution, skulked away to a snug retreat, leaving others to buffet with the storm, and if they were cast away, to bear all the obloquy and public dis- grace.
How different was the conduct of the spirited and truly patriotic HAMILTON! He wished to re- tire as much as the philosopher of Montecelli; he had a large family, and his little fortune was fast melting away in the expensive metropolis, but with a Roman's spirit, he declared "that, much as he wished for retirement, yet, he would remain at his post, as long as there was any danger of his coun- try being involved in war." How different the con- duct of the great WASHINGTON! He tells us, that he had resolved to retire before the last election, but the then perplexed and critical situation of the country forbade such a step. How different was even Jefferson himself, when calmly and safely writing his Notes on Virginia, from what he was when called upon to act in times of peril? In his Notes, page 135, in reprobatating the proposition made in the Virginia assembly in December 1776, to appoint a dictator, he exclaims, "Was this mov- ed on a supposed right in the movers of abandoning their posts in a moment of distress? Our laws forbid the abandonment of our posts, even on ordinary occa- sions."
Whether Mr. Jefferson foresaw the western insur- rection, and either conscious of his want of courage or capacity to act on so trying an occasion, or of his good wishes toward some of the promoters of it, we will not determine, but it is our duty to state some facts; the comments on them will be left to a discerning public.
It is certain that Mr. Jefferson resigned the of- fice of Secretary of State in January or February 1794, and that the insurrection broke out the July following, having manifested threatening symptoms some months before. Citizen Fauchet, of glorious memory, in his intercepted letters, (which caused the dismissal of citizen Randolph, also of glorious memory, the virtuous author of the previous con- fessions,) has the following passage—"Mr. Ran- dolph came to see me with an air of great eagerness, and made to me the overtures of which I have given you an account in my No. 6.—Thus with some thousands of dollars, the republic (of France) could have decided on CIVIL WAR, or on peace! thus the consciences of the pretended patriots of A- merica have already their prices! What will be the old age of this government, if it is thus early decrepid! Still there are patriots, of whom I de- light to entertain an idea worthy of that imposing title. CONSULT Monroe; he is of this num- ber: he had apprised me of the men, whom the current of events had dragged along as bodies de- void of weight: his friend Madison is also an ho- nest man: Jefferson, on whom the patriots call their eyes to succeed the President, HAD FORE- SEEN THESE CRISES: he prudently retired in order to avoid making a figure AGAINST HIS INCLINATION in scenes, the secret of which will soon or late be brought to light."
We are informed by the newspapers that Ran- dolph has been to visit Mr. Jefferson, and has an- nounced his determination to serve, if elected pre- sident; he has not yet announced his own deter- mination to return to his former secretaryship, if his friend should be president: but his activity in canvassing for him leaves no room for doubt, as to his wishes and expectations: it is apprehended, how- ever, by some of the friends of both these cha- racters, that a late legal call on one of them for the immediate settlement of some old accounts and balances will prove highly injurious to both.
Having adverted to these two striking instances of Mr. Jefferson's abandonment of his trust at very critical moments, I cannot omit the following sensible remark of Mr. Charles Simms—"These instances, he observes, shew Mr. Jefferson to want firmness, and a man, who shall once have abandoned the helm in the hour of danger, or at the appearance of a tempest, seems not fit to be trusted in better times, for no one can know how soon or from whence a storm may come."
Those who are acquainted with Mr. Adams's public conduct, from the very commencement of the revolution, can bear witness to his firm and steady pursuit of his patriotic career, amidst the proscriptions of a powerful and enraged government, and the multiplied dangers which threatened him at various periods: his manly and independent con- duct at Paris in negotiating the peace, whereby great advantages were acquired to the United States, can never be forgotten.
PHOCION.
This charge has been attempted to be got rid of by producing a vote of the assembly of Virginia, after an enquiry into his conduct, acknowledging his ability and integrity, but altogether silent on his wants of firmness, which had been the cause of his flight.
It was natural for his friends in the assembly to van- nish over the business as well as they could, and the danger being past, there being no prospect of his be- ing again expelled in that station, and his flight pro- ceeding, not from any criminality, but from a consti- tutional weakness of nerves, it was no difficult matter to get such a vote through the assembly, more especial- ly as the character of the state was no less implicated in the business than that of the governor.
Citizen Monroe, lately recalled by the President from France, not I presume for his services to the U- nited States, and not at his request; possessed of a pa- lace in Paris worth formerly 100,000 guineas (and for the purchase of which he was abused in a Paris news- paper) it is not probable he wished to return quite so- on.

FOREIGN INFLUENCE.
B—, N. Jerzey, Oct. 19.
MR. FENNO, A short time since, a certain S. S. residing at Trenton, who is said by some persons to be a refu- gee from England, sent me the enclosed paper.— A large packet of the same was sent to our town, directed to a number of the citizens; and, as I have since been informed, they were circulated thro' all parts of this and the neighbouring states. It is headed at Boston; but there is no doubt of its having been printed at Philadelphia, under the aus- pices of a certain club. A similar artifice was practiced by the same club, in regard to the peti- tions against the British treaty. Large packets of those petitions were dispatched to all parts of the Union; and thus the opinions of those men, whom America, France, and all the world abhors, were attempted to be palmed on the legislature of the U. S. as the sentiments of the American people. In the present instance, the same game is play- ing—The question is, whether the elections of the United States will exercise their own unbiassed judgments, or submit to the controul and influence of a Jacobin club, aided by the exertions of a for- eign incendiary.
As these mangleurs of the work of Mr. Adams have most impudently garbled and altered their pre- tended extracts from his book, I have referred to the pages quoted in their lying handbill, and have tran- scribed the sentences at large, which I request you to insert immediately under it; and I trust the can- dor of those printers who have published the first, will lead them to insert these also—it is but justice to their readers and the public.
A SUBSCRIBER.
Boston, 24th Sept. 1796.
AT this important crisis, George Washington having declined serving as President of the United States, after the 4th of March next, and John Adams having been held up as a candidate to suc- ceed him in that office, it is conceived a duty to submit to the consideration of the citizens of the United States, sundry political doctrines and opi- nions on government, written by Mr. Adams, whilst minister at the court of London, in his book, en- titled, "A Defence of the American Constitution."
Let the independent citizens of America now de- termine, how far Mr. Adams has apostatized from all his former sentiments in favour of American li- berty and independence, by writing this eulogium of monarchy and the British constitution, and con- sequently, how far he is to be regarded as a fit per- son to be elected President of the United States.
AMERICANUS.
VOL. I. Page 8. A limited monarchy may be justly de- nominated a republic. 110. Wealth, birth, family pride, respected by all people. 116. Wealth, birth and virtue, form the best men. 159. A commonwealth can no more consist of a people without gentry, than of a gen- try without people. 206. Kingly government best; Tyranny worst. No city is more wretched than that under tyranny, nor any more happy than that under regal power. 294. If the power of negotiation and treaty be in one man, there can be no in- trigue. 321. Had Epaminondas lived to display his ta- lents as a legislator, the world might have been blessed with an English con- stitution two or three thousand years sooner than it was. 325. Limited monarchy the best government; superior to republicanism. 360. Distinctions of poor and rich, as necessa- ry as labour and good government— Poor are destined to labour; the rich, by advantages of education, indepen- dence and leisure, to superior nations. 373. Men of property and family, fittest for public service. 375. Rich, well born, well educated, must be preferred to orrics, otherwise the people themselves will despise them. 379. Ministers of the executive only ought to be responsible.
Mr. Adams's work is not entitled A Defence of the American Constitution . When the first volume was printed, that constitution was not in existence. The London edition is now before me.—
Page 8. Does not contain a sentence to warrant the above insinuation.
110. Contains nothing to justify the sentiment alluded to. 116. Ditto. 159. The passage runs thus—"Harrington says, "An army may as well consist of soldiers without officers, or of officers without soldiers, as a com- monwealth consist of a people without a gentry, or of a gentry without a people." 206. Contains part of the 9th book of Plato— Plato is describing the tyrant that springs out of mad democracy, and contrasts him with a legal so- vereign or king. The whole sentence runs thus— "Let us finish then our work man. He will be a- wake, such as we described him asleep, and he who appears the most wicked, shall really be the most wretched. As many men, as many minds: as city is to city, as to virtue and happiness, so will man be to man; kingly government is the best, and ty- ranny the worst. No city is more wretched than that which is under tyranny, nor any more happy than that under regal power." On this Mr. Adams makes no comment; but, the letter concludes thus, in the next page—"Thus, Sir, you have some of Plato's sentiments on morals and politics; how much they are to Mr. Turgot's purpose, we may shew in another letter." 294. The real passage stands thus—"And if the power of negotiation and treaties, and the whole executive had been in one man, could the perfidious ambassadors of Sparta, and the other states, have intrigued, and embroiled every thing as they did?" Compare this with the garbled sentence set against page 294.

321. The passage in the book is as follows—"It is much to be regretted, that Epaminondas did not live to display his talents as a legislator; the world might possibly have been blessed with something like an English constitution, two or three thousand years sooner than it was."
324. The passage from which the distorted sentence is drawn, stands thus—"In a learned and ingenious discourse, delivered by himself, [the baron de Hertzberg] he has attempted to show the advantages of simple monarchy over all kinds of republican governments, even that best species of them, limited monarchies."
360. The sentence in this page stands thus—"The distinctions of poor and rich are as necessary in states of considerable extent, as labor and good government. The poor are destined labor; and the rich, by the advantages of education, independence and leisure, are qualified for superior stations." The word qualified is omitted by the candid quoter.
373. The sentence in question runs thus—"the general, even without being sensible of it, will naturally fall in with the views of the aristocratical body, in promoting men of family, property and abilities; and indeed, in general, it will be his duty to do this, as such are undoubtedly, in general, the fittest for the service."
The garblers have here omitted the word abilities. 275. Mr. Adams is here depicting, the pernicious effects resulting from a single branch government. The sentence stands thus—"the American provincial congress had experience enough of this; and gentlemen were more convinced by what they there saw, heard, and felt, than they would have been by reasoning or reading; it was generally agreed that the appointment of officers by lot would have been a more rational method—but this is not all: the army, the navy, revenue, excise, customs, police, justice, and all foreign ministers must be gentlemen, that is to say, friends and connections of the rich, well born and well educated members of the house; or if they are not, the community will be filled with slander, suspicion and ridicule against them, &c. The passage it appears is directly leveled against the doctrine of the wretched garblers."
379. The sentence stands thus—"I had almost ventured to propose a third assembly for the executive power, but the unity, the secrecy, the dispatch of one man has no equal; and the executive power should be watched by all men; the attention of the whole nation should be fixed upon one point, and the blame and censure, as well as the impeachments and vengeance for abuses of this power, should be solely directed to the ministers of one man."
The foregoing quotations may serve to develop the impudence and rogery of a set of the most abandoned calumniators that ever attempted to impose on the people of any country whatever.

UPPER RHINE, September 6.
The scene of war is shifting back from Franco-nia to the environs of the Lahn and Lower Rhine. The French are everywhere retreating after a bloody battle which took place the 3d inst. near Wurtz-burg, wherein the Imperialis were victorious.—Wurtz-burg the citadel thereof, Schweinfurth, Geln-hausen, &c. are in the hands of the latter. On the 1st inst. a severe engagement took place between the French general Moreau and the Imperial general Nauendorf, in which the Imperialis at last got the better.
WURTZBURGH, September 3.
The 1st 2d and 3d inst. were remarkable days for this city. On the 1st inst. half after two P. M. the alarm was given, that the Imperialis were at the gates, and almost in the same instant a detachment of Austrian light-horse came along the street of the Augustines towards the Mayn bridge. The French, by no means prepared for such a visit, hurried some into the houses, some into the fortresses; those who fell into the hands of the Imperialis, were cut to pieces. The Imperialis galloped everywhere through the city, and nothing could withstand their bravery. Towards evening more troops rode into the city, and others encamped round the same. The enemy now commenced a dreadful cannonade from the fort which lasted from 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the 1st, until three o'clock in the afternoon of the third without any intermission; the terrors of the inhabitants were so much the greater as they fired into the city, and some people were killed and others wounded.—Twenty shot fell on the city hall only. The garri-son of the fort absolutely refused to surrender, tho' surrounded in some parts already, and tho' the heavy artillery, fortunately for us, had been removed some days before.
On the 2d towards noon General Grenier arrived with his division from Ansbach, and towards 4 o'clock in the afternoon one of the hottest en-gagements commenced which lasted till late in the night but was not decisive. General Jourdan who had been all along in the neighbourhood of Swins-
furth, arrived in the night with his whole army, and towards morning Archduke Charles likewise with 8000 men cavalry? With break of day the battle began in the neighbourhood of this city, with unexampled obstinacy; long was our fate in sus-pence; at last at 4 o'clock in the afternoon we heard, that the Austrians had obtained the victory.
Soon after General Hotze made his entry into this city and was received with loud acclamations; the dead of the French lay in heaps, 4000 are said to be taken prisoners. The French in their re-treat burnt 5 villages, a number of waggons with wounded Austrians arrive here likewise.
Just now the fort was summoned again, but the garrison will not surrender, unless a free passage is granted them, because the French have a great deal of money there.

By the Lydia, from New-York, a gentleman of this city received a remittance of 150 dollars, from Mr. Ricketts, the celebrated equestrian performer for the benefit of the sufferers by the late fire in this city.
NEW-YORK, October 24.
A Halifax paper of Oct. 8th is just put into our hands as the paper is going to press—it contains two letters from John Dorner, dated September 19, and at L'Ance a Loupe, in which he states that he had received intelligence from a Mr. Hine, at Temple Bay, in the Straights of Belleisle, that the Que-bec merchant ships and the French fleet were in sight, and that the former would probably be taken.
LATE Foreign Intelligence,
By the Ceres, from Liverpool.
DOWNING-STREET, Sept. 18.
Dispatches, of which the following are copies, have been received from Capt. Anstruther, by the right hon. lord Grenville, his majesty's principal secretary of state for foreign affairs. Head-quarters of his royal highness the archduke Charles, Zell, near Wurtzburgh, September 4, 1796.
My Lord,
Your lordship is acquainted with the unfortunate circumstances which have obliged colonel and Mr. R. Craufurd to remain for a time at a distance from the scene of operations. The absence of these gentlemen at a moment so particularly interesting as the present, must be regretted, as a loss to the public service; which, though at their request, I now attempt to detail to your lordship the late proceedings of the army, I feel myself inadequate to sup-PLY.
Your lordship is already informed of the move-ments of his royal highness the archduke up to the 31st ultimo; at which period the right wing of the army was assembled in the plain between For-cheim and Bamberg; and the left, consisting of upwards of twenty battalions and fifty squadrons, under the command of lieutenant-general Stzary; had reached Eberach; and threatened at once, by detachments, the points of Schweinfurt and of Wurtzburgh.
Early on the 31st the archduke entered Bam-berg; and, from the information there received of the enemy, determined to push on with the whole army towards Wurtzburgh; as being the point on the occupation of which depended the possibility of forcing Jourdan to abandon the Meyn, and take his retreat through the country of Fulda, on the Lahn. His royal highness proceeded in the even-ing to Bourg Eberach.—General Kray took post at Eltmann, and general Stzary advanced to Klo-ster Schwartzach.
On the 1st of September the archduke marched to Ober Schwartzach, general Kray to Geroldshof-fen, and general Stzary to Kitzingen, where he passed the Meyn: his advanced guard under gene-ral Hotze, took possession of the town of Wurtz-burg, the French garrison retiring into the citadel. In the mean time the enemy strained every nerve to reach Wurtzburgh before the main body of the Austrian army should come up; and by forced marches arrived at Kornach, within three leagues of the town, the same day on which general Hotze took possession of it. Next day (the 2d) Jour-dan attacked, with the utmost impetuosity, the corps under general Stzary; but though he suc-ceeded in forcing some of his posts, he was not able to make any impression on the main position; and retired in the evening to the camp near Kor-nach. There he resolved to abide the event of a battle; and in that view, posted himself in the fol-lowing manner:
His right wing to the Meyn, a little below Wurtzburgh, rested on a very commanding emi-nence; in front of which a deep river rendered the access extremely difficult. The first line of his centre occupied a long, narrow wood, skirting the bottom of a chain of heights, on the ridge of which his second line was posted. His left wing consisting almost entirely of cavalry, was placed in the spacious plain in front of Kornach; but con-siderably thrown back, in order to receive the more effectual support from the infantry in the wood.
A numerous artillery was distributed on the most essential points along his front. The division of Lefebvre remained posted behind Schweinfurt, to cover the great road to Fulda, and a small inter-mediate corps maintained his communication with the army.
His royal highness halted the 2d in his camp of Ober Schwartzach; whilst a bridge was thrown on the Meyn, near Dettelbach, which was not finish-ed till late in the evening. General Kray remained at Geroldshoffen.
General Stzary, in the mean time, judging, from the force and usual conduct of Jourdan, that he would soon renew his efforts to render himself master of Wurtzburgh, embraced the spirited reso-lution of rather advancing against him, than of waiting for him in this position.—The archduke ap-proved of this idea, and determined to facilitate the execution of it, by making a combined attack on the enemy, to take place early in the morning of the 3d.—The intention was, that general Stzary should move forward against the corps which
was opposed to him; that the main body, under the command of general Wartenleben, passing the bridge at Dettelbach, should attack the centre of the enemy; whilst general Kray, crossing the river at the point nearest Geroldshoffen, should turn his left wing.
Soon after day break, accordingly, General St-zary advanced, and drove back the posts of the en-emy; as however the other two columns had a considerable march to make, and met with much un-expected delay in the passage of the river, he soon found himself engaged alone by very superior num-bers; and was not only obliged to relinquish the ground he had gained, but had much difficulty in maintaining his original position.
At this critical instant his Royal Highness sent orders to genl. Wartenleben, to ford the river with the whole of his cavalry, and advance directly against the left of the enemy.
This judicious manoeuvre had the desired effect. Jourdan seeing himself menaced in the most essen-tial point of his position, withdrew from his right troops with which he was pressing Gen. Stzary, who thus gained time to re-establish himself in his post.
The cavalry now charged the left of the enemy and drove it from its ground; but the enemy re-tiring behind the wood, the Austrians remained ex-posed to a fire of musketry and grape, which obli-ged them to abandon the advantage they had gain-ed. A second attempt of the same nature had a si-milar fate; and after fruitless endeavors to draw the enemy into the plain, his Royal Highness resolved to await the arrival of Gen. Wartenleben's column, without which it was evident the position of the en-emy could not be forced.
At length the infantry appeared advancing from Dettelbach; and general Stzary moving forward at the same time, a combined attack was immediate-ly formed against the wood which covered the en-emy's front. Eight battalions of grenadiers advan-ced for this purpose, with equal order and impetu-osity, regardless of the swarm of Tirailleurs who harassed them; they gained the wood without firing a shot, and in a few minutes drove the enemy not only from thence, but from the heights beyond it. This advantage, and the appearance of Gen. Kray's column on the right, decided the fortune of the day. Jourdan made no attempt to recover the ground he had lost, but began his retreat on every point, this he for some time conducted with much regularity; his cavalry preserving considerable coun-terpoise, and forming repeatedly, under protection of their light artillery, to check the pursuit of the Austrians. At length however continually harass-ed by the hussars, and overpowered by a prodigi-ous fire of artillery from the heights, the confusion became general; the excessive fatigue of the Aus-trians, and the coming on of night, alone saved them from total destruction.
The loss of the Austrians on this occasion a-mounts at most to 800 men, amongst whom are no officers of distinction; that of the enemy is by far more considerable. Two thousand prisoners are al-ready bro't in, and the number of killed and woun-ded cannot be smaller. One colour, six pieces of cannon, and a great number of ammunition and baggage waggons have fallen into the hands of the conquerors.
The success which on this occasion has attended the Austrian arms, is to be ascribed chiefly to the personal conduct of his royal highness the archduke. Present every where, where the danger was the most pressing, he animated the troops by his example, and preserved them in order by the coolness and quickness of his manœuvres; and at length seized, with infinite judgment, the true point of attack which decided the victory.
The army passed the night on the field of battle, and the next day crossing the Meyn at different points, encamped near this place.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) ROB. ANSTRUTHER.
Wilhelmbad, near Hanau, Sept. 3d, 1796.
In consequence of the late actions, the army of Jourdan is retreating in the most disorderly manner possible, in different directions. About 3000 men passed this place since yesterday morning; almost all of them without arms, and dragoons and hussars on foot having lost their horses. The peasants have almost every where risen upon them, and, when in small numbers, either killed or disarmed and plunder-ed them: A great many have passed Steinheim, coming from Aschaffenburg, but the greater part of the army seems to be directing its retreat by Fil-dede, towards Weislar in order to pass the Rhine.
At Franckfort, and every where in the neigh-borhood the enemy seem to be preparing for their departure. They have again taken hostages from several places belonging to the Elector of Mentz.
FROM THE ARGUS.
[Translated from Dutch papers received by the Amster-dam arrivals on Saturday.]
CASSEL, Sept. 6.
According to the most probable accounts general Jourdan, with the French army of the Sambre and Meuse, remained at Schwenfort.
NEUWIED, Sept. 6.
Yesterday the division of gen. Pancet, which re-mained to invest Ehrenbreitstein, have marched to the Mein, and many more troops are on their march from the exterior of France to the same place.—The peasants in some of the villages of Franconia, who had taken arms against the French, and made a common cause with the Austrians have received their reward by the burning of several of their vil-lages.

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums of the Funded Debt, or Stock, bearing a present interest of five per centum per annum. 1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, entitled an act in addition to an act, intitled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or Stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, viz. "First, by dividende- to be made on the last days of March, June and Septem- ber for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thou- sand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the ori- ginal capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hun- dred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then ad- due, according to the contract, for the final redemp- tion of the said Stock." 2d. All distinction between payments on account of Interest and Principal being thus abolished by the establish- ment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above de- scribed, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz.

A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the closing of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery. The twenty-four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient num- ber of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal ob- jects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
