French Revolution. JUST PUBLISHED. (Price two Dollars.) By MATHEW CAREY, No. 118, Market Street, AN IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION;
From its Commencement to the execution of the QUEEN and the DEPUTIES of the Gironde Party. Extract from the Preface. The authors have presumed to affix to their title, the epithet impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party but to that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly presented, but every censureable action, wherever it were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colours. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered or disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be accepted by the zealots of either party. But when time shall have dissipated the clouds of political deception, and appeased the tumult of the passions, they will with some confidence expect the verdict from public opinion, which candour and moderation seldom fail to receive. Extract from the Critical Review, June 1794. 12 Page. We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in Events which have so fully excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind. M. CAREY will in about three weeks publish, Plowen's history of the British Empire from May 1792, to December 1793. lateod.

EULOGY ON WHISKEY.
By ABELEM AIMWELL, Esq.
1. STRONG art thou O Whiskey on the high mountains, and strong is thy brother Brandy in the vales below.
2. From the rising of the sun, even into the going down thereof, thy votaries pay homage to thee; day unto day they worship thee; and in their nightly orgies they show forth the sweet influence of thy spirit.
3. When they rise up they think of thee when they meet together they talk of thee; and when they lie down they dream of thee: thou art unto them Whiskey, and they are thy servants.
4. Their love to thee is wonderful—passing their love of women: yea, their wives and little ones are not to be compared to thee.
5. By the power of thy burning majesty, mobs rise in the western mountains; and being filled with thee, they fall flat on their faces—becoming beaks for thy sake.
6. Compared to thee, Sir Richard Run is but a menial, held fast in the strong clutches of the eagle: like Issachar "he croucheth down, he boweth his shoulders to bear, and hath become a servant under tribute."
7. But thy spirit O Whiskey exalteth above the flight of the eagle: when he maketh a pounce at thee, thy veterans shall lop off his talons.
8. When thou commandest, they rise against all law and government, and are valiant, event unto the shedding of blood: yea, their brothers' blood!
9. Anarchy is thy counsellor, destruction attendeth thee, Poverty and distress follow thy steps; and the tears of the orphan move thee not.
10. When the voice of wisdom crieth peace!—thy voice is louder than the voice of wisdom: and when thou criest "havoc" thy subjects shout, amen!
11. The hot fire of thy spirit hath singed off the sensibility of their consciences; so that the destruction of social order, the abuse of their father, and the murder of infants giveth them no pain!
12. Strong art thou O Whiskey upon the Western mountains, and strong is thy brother Brandy in the vales below.

LATE AND IMPORTANT European Intelligence.
From London papers to the 11th June, via St. Croix.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.
The people are anxious for a war with Russia: and as the greatest preparations are making to complete the military establishment, it is confidently reported and believed that the desires of the people will be complied with. A silly rumour was circulated a few days ago, that the Porte had ordered the French frigates to quit the Archipelago: The fact is, that the French ships meet with the most ample protection, and are permitted to dispose of their cargoes, and to carry on their commerce in the same manner as they did during the existence of the old government. A French brig from Smyrna has brought orders to the French frigates to return to Toulon. This brig carried into Smyrna two English merchantmen which she had captured in her passage from Toulon.
It is said, that great changes will take place in our Ministry at the next Bairam, the usual period when ministers are displaced, or appointed. A Pacha with three tails had been sent with a large force against the Rebels in the Adriatic.
April 28.
The new French Resident had addressed himself to the Porte, to obtain permission to oblige the French merchants to deliver up their accounts. To this the following reply was made: "That the President should take care not to introduce innovations into the territory of the grand Signior." Sixteen French merchants from Smyrna have arrived here, to put themselves under the protection of the Porte. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Polish Insurgents, it is pretty certain that our government will leave them to their fate, by pursuing a system of neutrality.
MADRAS, January 16.
An account is received, which mentions that an American ship had arrived that day at Madras from the Isle of France, which she left the 4th of December. When this ship failed, 13 privateers were out from the Isle of France: 5 or 6 of them expected immediately to return, from want of provisions. The expenses of this outfit had hereby been compensated by the prizes sent in, which were very valuable, except the Dutchman, sold there for about 300,000 dollars; the Princess Royal for 80,000; (she had very little belonging to the company, only 70 tons of lead and the Moor vessel from Muscat, only 250,000.) The Dragon, captain Lindsay, was captured in the Straits, and taken to the island in the latter end of November. Two
frigates, La Sybille of 42, and La Reine of 32 guns, with the French frigate Dumourier, of 36, and the privateers Royal Louis, mounting 44 guns, were fitted out with all expedition, completely manned, and expected to sail in ten days after the departure of the Henry; their destination not known, but supposed to be for coast and Bay.
VALENCIENNES, June 4.
Though it was in our neighbourhood, that the present campaign was opened by the most brilliant operations, now scarce a cannon shot is heard. During the Emperor's late short stay at Brussels, on his way to the army on the Sambre, the States of Brabant showed some uneasiness with respect to the present conjuncture, at the situation of the Low Countries; but his majesty told them, that they had every reason to make themselves perfectly easy, as within a very short time the theatre of war should be entirely removed from the frontiers of the Austrian Netherlands, and transferred into the enemy's country. The glorious action, by which shortly after this gallant prince chased the Republican hordes back beyond the Sambre, and delivered Charleroy, has partly fulfilled his promise; yet this royal assertion seems to refer to events of much greater importance, which, I trust, will soon witness.
From South PRUSSIA, May 16.
The Prussian general Von Faverat has marched towards Cracow with three columns of troops. The king and his son are coming hither by the way of Silesia.
PORTSMOUTH, June 3.
This afternoon arrived the brigantine Abeona, of Emsworth, master, from Cadiz, last from Lisbon, from which place he sailed the 5th ult. in company with the Andalusia, Fame, Friendship, and St. George, all of London: Friendship, of Liverpool; George, of Liverpool; Perseverance, of Lynn; Renton of Dartmouth, and two other English vessels; 44 sail of Dutch merchantmen, and one Spaniard, all from the Straits, Cadiz, and Lisbon, under convoy of a Dutch frigate of 32 guns, and one of 24 guns. On the 20th ultimo, they fell in with two 44 gun frigates which chased under English colours, until they got within half a mile of the fleet, and then hoist half French colours, and fired into the largest of the Dutch frigates, on which a signal for general dispersion was thrown out; most of the English vessels made sail to windward, but the Dutch ships bore away before the wind, and one of the French frigates after them: and it is supposed by the crew of the Abeona, that great part of them must be taken; but by chasing to the windward, and night coming on, the Abeona fortunately escaped, and lost sight of the French frigates and the whole fleet, so that they cannot speak to the number captured.
DEUX PONTS, May 7.
We are at length delivered from the banditti of Republicans who infested our territory; they have fled precipitately before the Prussians, throwing down their arms in their way; and have established their principal rendezvous at Saarbruck, having first evacuated Blielcastel. The Prussians have already taken 3000 of them prisoners; and whole battalions and squadrons, have been surrounded, and forced to lay down their arms. General Mochendorf disposed of 900 horses at Lautern, to enable the wretched inhabitants again to cultivate their lands.
The French, not considering the encroachments of Scheweigen any longer tenable, abandoned them to the Prussians, in whose possession they now are. The Republicans have in the interim retreated to Bitche.
Head-Quarters of the Hereditary Prince Hohenlohe, at Husbach, May 29.
Yesterday 10,000 French suddenly advanced from Eidighofen, to attempt Neustadt, by a coup-de-main. The Prussian General Prince Hohenlohe obtained over them a complete victory near Kirweiller. On this occasion they lost in killed, 15 officers and 400 privates, in prisoners, a Lieut. Col. three Captains, 10 subalterns, and 352 privates; they besides lost a pair of colours, six guns, and five waggons laden with gun powder. The remainder of their troops fled in the utmost disorder under the guns of Landau. Their General, Michaud, who was wounded, and thrown from his horse, made his escape with great difficulty. At Pirmasens the Prussians have destroyed all the Republican entrenchments and have driven the ene-
my from their advantageous posts at the foot of the mountain.
WARSOW, May 14.
(Extract of a letter.)
The events of Russia and Prussia, in this endeavour secretly to assassinate the proceedings with those of the Jacobins, at Paris. The National Council they compare to the Convention, and the unlimited command given to Kaskusco is like that given to Dumourier. The summary trial and execution of the bishop of Livonia, they compare to the bloody deeds of September. The intention of the King to remove Prague on the 18th or 20th, when he was prevented by his subjects, is like that of the business of St. Cloud, and the raising of money without the king's sanction, is a sure prelude of a pure democratic Republic.
The cause of freedom, notwithstanding, derives fresh success every day, and the deliberations of the provisional Council are carried on with the utmost decorum and effect. They decreed, April 29, that the commission for the preservation of the peace should examine into the nature of the Russian alliances, and ascertain their amount. They also accepted a subscription of the Ladies to furnish shirts for the army. On the 10th, they ordered the President to grant passports to strangers, who have not been domiciliated at Warsaw, and to all who are obliged to travel in the service of the state.
On the 11th of May, the Commission of the Peace was ordered to send two hundred and sixty eight thousand florins to the army, payable at the National Bank. They also requested the apostolic nuncio to furnish medicines and medical people for the service of the campaign. The physicians, Shalski and Pau, were named to collect the voluntary contributions. May the 2d, they offered the Commissioners to give an account of the population of the town. Mr. Tyke, assistant to the council, was ordered to organize the guard of Brul of the palace; and they charged the Commandant, Mokronowski, to arrest all vessels laden with corn on the rivers Narew and Bug. May the 3d, they resolved to assist in a body at the ceremony of the baptism of the son of Zaharzewski, born on the memorable 14th of April. May the 4th, a prohibition was laid on the exportation of raw hides and tanned leather. They liberated, on the same day, the Russian Captain Datskow, who had been serviceable to Stanislaus who lay in wait in every track to further his trading and coaling vessels.
BRUSSELS, June 3. On the 27th the Austrians evacuated Dinant in the province of Namur, which was instantly taken possession of by the French, who obliged all the inhabitants to take up arms and follow them to the field.
The villages pillaged by the French are Trogneux, Esay le Picton, Courcelles, Marchiennes au pont, Jamet, Epignes, and La Banfary. The town of Fleurus has also been laid under contribution.
May 25. An express arrived from Morbes la Chateau, has brought the particulars of the victory gained over the French by Gen. Kaunitz. The attack was made on the left wing of the French army posted on the other side of the river from Bouffoit to Landalies. The battle lasted several hours, after which the enemy retreated with the loss of 3000 men killed and wounded, three battalions taken prisoners, and more than 40 pieces of cannon.
PLYMOUTH, June 3.
Yesterday evening arrived here, the Dutch ship Diana, Girtz master, from Lisbon bound to Riga; she is one of the fleet which failed under convoy of the Dutch frigates Alliance and War-embeids, and on the 20th ult. were chased by French frigates. The Diana escaped by making sail in time; but saw the War-embeids strike to one of the French frigates before she lost sight of them.
LONDON, May 31.
Thursday night Mr. Rofs, one of his majesty's messengers, received a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. John Williams, wine-merchant in Leicestersfields, for treasonable practices. Mr. Williams collected the money at Chalk-street, as we understand, and acted as Steward.
Yesterday morning early Mr. Rofs arrested Mr. John Frost, who had been living at Mr. Horne Tooke's villa at Wimbledon. Mr. Frost was conducted to town in a post chaise.
Yesterday Broomhead, &c. & damage underwent a long examination before the Privy Council, and were remanded back to their confinement. Mr. Hull, the attorney in Chancery Lane, was before their Lordships again for two hours yesterday morning, but afterwards discharged.
June 2.
Several of the public prints have lately entered into some details respecting the successes of the royalists in La Vendee. We have, however, been often the dupes of these statements, that however strong an interest we may take in the situation of these brave men, we must refuse any further credit to them. We have seen several letters from La Vendee and the vicinity, by which it simply appears, that there is still a body of royalists in that part of the country, which is known by the name of Boccage; a country full of woods and morasses, at the same time very fertile. Notwithstanding these royalists have obtained some advantages over the Regicides, still they cannot have been decisive; the former being in want of several necessary articles to enable them to act offensively. They, however, still maintain their ground, waiting for the allies to penetrate thro' some part of the frontier, and make a diversion in their favor.
Besides the royalists of La Vendee, there are also, on the other side of the Loire, in that part of Brittany named Morbihan, some other parties, which have occasioned skirmishes with the Republican troops. By the details of the Convention, we are given to understand, that these assemblages amount to from 6 to 8000 men.
Lastly, there is a third body of insurgents near Fougères, on the confines of Brittany, Anjou, and Maine. This party, which is called les Chouans, is frequently mentioned in Barrere's reports. The people throughout the whole extent of France have the same feeling, but are restrained by the terror of the merciless guillotine; and wait for opportunities to form themselves into bodies, and break out in open rebellion.
That the enemy have captured a number of our merchant vessels is true; but when it is considered that France has no trade to protect, and that plundering is the general order of the day, some allowance ought to be made for the impossibility of successfully checking the progress of those pirates, who lay in wait in every track to further their trading and coaling vessels.
June 4.
The prince of Wurtemburgh has armed a considerable number of the inhabitants of Limbourg, who offered themselves as volunteers; and he is taking every precaution to secure the country against any attempt of the French, who have advanced their patroles to Marche-en-Famine, ten leagues distant only from Liege.
June 10.
By letters from Stockholm, dated May 23, we learn that the Swedish peasants have sent considerable benefactions to the court, for the support of the neutrality of Sweden.
From the LONDON GAZETTE, of June 10.
Whitehall, June 10.
A letter, of which the following is a copy, was received on Sunday last from his royal highness the duke of York, by the right honorable Henry Dundas, his majesty's principal secretary of state for the home department.
Tournay, June 6.
SIR, I have the pleasure to inform you, that, on the 3d instant, the combined army, under the command of the hereditary prince of Orange, attacked the enemy, who was posted at Fontaine l'Eveque, in order to cover a part of their forces, which was besieging Charleroi, and compelled them to raise the siege and return across the Sambre, where they now remain. I am &c.
FREDERICK.
Right Hon. Henry Dundas &c.
Whitehall, June 10.
The dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was received on Sunday last from admiral Lord Hood, by the right hon. Henry Dundas, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state.
Vidory, off Bastia, May 24, 1794.
SIR, I have the honor to acquaint you, that the town and citadel of Bastia, with the several posts upon the heights, surrendered to the arms of his majesty on the 22d. On the 19th I received
the message, that the garrison was disposed of capitulating upon honorable terms; in consequence of which I sent the inclosed note on shore. This brought on board the Victory three officers, who informed me that Gentili, the commandant, would assemble the officers of the several corps and of the municipality, if a truce took place, which I agreed to, a little before sun set. The next day I received a note from Gentili, which I also inclosed, and sent Captain Young on shore, on the morning of the 21st who soon returned to the Victory, with two officers and two of the administrative bodies which, with vice admiral Goodall, capt. Young, capt. Inglefield, and my secretary M c Arthur, settled the articles of capitulation, which were signed the following morning, when his majesty's troops took possession of all the posts above the town, the troops in each retiring to the citadel, from whence they marched to the mole head, where they grounded their arms, and were embarked. You will receive herewith the articles of capitulation, which I hope his majesty will approve.
I am unable to give due praise to the unremitting zeal, exertion and judicious conduct of lieutenant col. Villettes, who had the honor of commanding his majesty's troops; never was either more conspicuous. Major Breton and every officer and soldier under the lieut. col. orders, are justly entitled to my warmest acknowledgments; their persevering ardour and desire to distinguish themselves cannot be too highly spoken of, and which it will be my pride to remember to the latest period of my life.
Captain Nelson, of his majesty's ship Agamemnon, who had the command and direction of the seamen, in landing the guns, mortars and stores; and capt. Hunt, who commanded at the batteries very ably assisted by capt. Buller, an capt. Serco, and the lieutenants Gore, Hotham, Stiles, Andrews and Brisbane, have an equal claim to my gratitude, as the seamen under their management worked the guns with great judgment and alacrity. Never was an higher spirit or greater perseverance exhibited, and I am happy to say, that no other contention was at any time known than who should be most forward and indefatigable for promoting his majesty's service; for, although the difficulties they had to struggle with were many and various, the perfect harmony and good humour that universally prevailed throughout the siege overcame them all.
I cannot but express, in the strongest terms, the meritorious conduct of capt. Duncan and lieut. Alexander Duncan, of the royal artillery, and lieut. De Butts, of the royal engineers; but my obligation is particularly great to capt. Duncan, as more zeal, ability and judgment was never shewn by an officer, than were displayed by him; and I take the liberty of mentioning him as an officer highly entitled to his majesty's notice.
I feel myself very much indebted for the vigilance and attention of captain Wolfeley, of the Imperieuse, and of captain Hallowell, who became a volunteer wherever he could be useful, after being superadded in the command of the Courageux by capt. Waldegrave. The former kept a diligent watch upon the island of Capraria, where the enemy have magazines of provisions and stores, and the latter did the same by guarding the harbours mouth off Bastia with gun boats and launches well armed, the whole of every night, whilst the smaller boats were very judiciously placed in the intervals between, and rather without the ships (which were moored in a crescent just out of reach of the enemy's guns) by capt. Young, of the Fortitude, the center ship on board of which every boat assembled at sun-set by orders; and the cheerfulness with which the officers and men performed this nightly duty is very much to be admired, and afforded me the most heart felt satisfaction and pleasure.
The very great and effectual assistance I received from vice admiral Goodall, capt. Inglefield and capt. Knight, as well as from every captain and officer of his majesty's ships under my command, have a just claim to my most particular thanks, not only in carrying into execution my orders afloat, but in attending to and supplying the wants of the little army on shore: It is to the very cordial and decided support alone I had the honor to receive from the whole, that the innumerable difficulties we had to contend with were so happily surmounted.
Major Smith and ensign Vigoreaux, of the 25th regiment, and captain Radcliffe and lieut. St. George of the 11th, not embarking with their respective regiments, having civil employment on

there; it is to their honor I mention, that they relinquished those employments, and joined their corps soon after their troops were landed.
It is very much my duty to inform you that I am extremely obliged to General Petrecone, Mr. Frediani, and all the officers of the Corsicans, serving with the army, for their great zeal and attention, in forwarding the reduction of Bastia by every means in their power, who were of infinite service by preserving good order in the troops.
I transmit an account of the loss on the part of his Majesty, in killed and wounded, which, I am happy to say, is inconsiderable; but the enemy suffered much, their Hospitals being full.
At the commencement of the siege, the number of the enemy bearing arms was 3000.
By the first ship that fails for England, I shall have the honor of sending to be laid at his Majesty's feet, the several standards of Colors taken at Bastia.
Captain Hunt, who was on shore in the command of the Batteries from the hour the troops landed to the surrender of the Town, will be the bearer of this dispatch, and can give any other information you may wish to know respecting the Siege.
I have the honor, &c. HOOD.
His Britannic Majesty's ship Victory, off Bastia, May 19, 1794.
In consideration of the very gallant defence the garrison of Bastia has made, and from the principles of humanity, which ever govern British officers, I am disposed to give you terms, and if you will send on board two or three officers, properly authorized to treat, I trust a capitulation will be soon settled, as honorable to the inhabitants as can in any reason be expected.
(Signed) HOOD. To the Commandant of the garrison and Mayor of the town of Bastia.

My Lord, In consequence of the proposal which you did me the honor of making in your dispatch of the 18th May (old style,) I have the honor of sending to you two Adjutant Generals of the army and two members of the Administrative corps of this town, who are commissioned to present to you the plan of a capitulation between the garrison and inhabitants of Bastia, and you my Lord, in the name of the king of Great Britain.
These four commissioners, who equally possess my confidence, and that of the Garrison, and of the citizens, have instructions to arrange, with you, the settlement of all matters relative to this capitulation. I hope that you will be satisfied, and they will enable you to fulfil the views you have signified to me, of putting an end to the unavoidable consequences of the Calamities of war. Capt. Young has had a long conference with me: I was of opinion that a reciprocal understanding might co-operate in the success of the negotiation which occupied our attention and I have requested him to acquaint you with my ingenious and loyal intentions.

PARIS, May 28.
We learn by our advices from Nantz, dated the 25th, that 200 of the patriots, encamped at St. George, near Montaign, were sent daily into the interior parts of the country, to collect corn and cattle, with instructions not to molest any of the inhabitants by burning their houses, &c. In one of these excursions, on the 17th, they had sent forward a convoy, having charge of several waggons laden with corn, but had been attacked by the insurgents, and obliged to give up their booty. On the 18th, they had attacked Montagne, the garrison of which had made a sortie, and killed 400 of them. The Republican general Duciras, had defeated near Cholet, the column of insurgents commanded by Stofflet.

PHILADELPHIA.
Mr. T. Francis, came passenger in the Active—and has brought dispatches from Mr. Jay, which we learn are of the most agreeable complexion—We also hear that Mr. Jay had been cordially received—and had been assured by the British Ministry that full compensation would be made for all the property illegally taken from the Citizens of the United States—That Mr. Pitt had informed the British merchants that they might go on with their shipments and consignments to the United States with the most perfect security, for that Great Britain had no idea of any rupture with this country.
The English papers state that Ostend expected momentarily to be attacked, that there were 40000 men in it, and that the inhabitants were ordered to leave the place—and it was expected the French would take it—that in consequence of the great successes of the French, it had been declared in the National Convention that it was probable that peace would take place before the natural time.

TERMS. 1. This work will be comprised in two volumes. 2. Subscribers pay for the present volume on delivery, six dollars, and the price of binding, (56 cents for boards) 3. They may receive the succeeding volume in twenty-four weekly numbers, at a quarter dollar each, or else, when finished, at the same price as the first. 4. The subscription will be raised on the first day of June 1794, to fourteen dollars, exclusive of binding. 5. Should any copies remain for sale after the completion of the work, they will be sold at sixteen dollars, and the price of binding. 6. The names of the subscribers will be published as patrons of American literature, arts, and sciences.
It is wholly unnecessary to expatiate on the advantage to American readers, that this edition possesses, over every imported edition of any system of Geography extant. The addition of maps of the several states, procured a very great expense, and from the best materials that are attainable, peaks such full conviction on this subject, that it would be disrespectful to the reader's understanding to suppose it requisite to enter into a detail of arguments to prove its superiority. In no similar work have such maps been ever introduced.
The emendations and additions which are made in this work, are innumerable, and occur in every page. The public are referred to the preface for a slight sketch of a few of them.
The publisher takes the present opportunity of returning his most sincere thanks to those respectable characters who have favored him with documents for improving the maps of several of the states. He requests a continuance of their kindness; and hopes that such public spirited citizens as are possessed of similar documents, will favor him with their assistance in perfecting his undertaking.
The extraordinary encouragement with which he has been favored, has excited in his breast the warmest sentiments of gratitude—sentiments which time will not efface. He pledges himself to the citizens of the United States, to spare neither pains nor expense to render the present edition of Guthrie's Geography improved, deserving of their patronage. walf

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved.
THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing.
The new maps added to this edition are twenty one; among which are those of New-Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecti- cut, Rhode-Island, Vermont, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ma- ryland, Virginia, Kentucky, North Caro- lina, the Genesee Government, South Ca- rolina, and Georgia. These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography; and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.
