Distant Subscribers
For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Subscription by paying Six Months in Advance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be in delinquent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may respectively be indebted—the sums are individually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.

THE CORDWAINER—No. VII.
With what sentiments my great-grandchildren, the fires of whom are not yet born, will read my labors, I will no more undertake to conjecture, than I will to predict whether they will wear buckles or strings in their shoes.
We authors, however, are fond of looking well to the interest of future generations, which is certainly very laudable; and I should perhaps be guilty of an unpardonable wrong to posterity if I did not leave to them my sentiments upon a subject so important as that of political Equality. My duty I am resolved to discharge, and that if I were even certain that my writings would be burned by the hand of the common hangman, Ned Nipper will never die in debt to his posterity.
I know not how better to explain myself on this subject than by the following story:
On a time when all things were endowed with Reason and Speech, there arose in a certain country an uneasiness among the vallies, the lawns, the streams, the trees, and the shrubs, who complained bitterly to Jupiter of the insolent pre-eminence of the neighboring mountains. "It is insufferable," said the vallies and the lawns, "to see these tall, shabby-looking fellows, thrusting up their heads into the clouds, to catch the first and fairest enjoyment of all Heaven's blessings. When the sun rises, why to be sure their honors must receive the first salutation, and a golden coronet must be tricked out for them of the fairest beams, before the humble lawns below can be noticed: At evening no less partiality is seen, and the fond beams hang lingering long upon their favorite hills. If a refreshing shower shall fall, their thirsty, gaping fronts are sure to receive the first and amplest draught, and it is well if we, sometimes, obtain even the drizzling dlops of their redundance." The streams, the trees and the shrubs, who piqued themselves on their own beauty and gracefulness, thought it hard that they should be deprived of the enjoyment of their vintas, and their extensive landscapes, by the obtusion of such odious forms.
They were often, too, suffered to languish without a breath of air, while the zephyrs were wantoning in the pines on their proud summits. And the trees on the banks protested they could take no pleasure in viewing themselves in the glassy stream, while they perceived they were but insignificant appendages to the picture of a swagging mountain. In short, they humbly besought that, in the wisdom and clemency of his Godship, relief might be granted them, and the said mountains reduced to a becoming level—and his petitioners, as in duty bound, would ever pray.
It was in vain that the mountains urged in reply to the charge, their merits and their services—that they not only arrested the passing vapours, and drained their moisture, to furnish springs for the valleys, into whose bosoms they faithfully poured all their treasures, but that for their protection they sustained the angry blast of the wintry storm, and even braved the thunder of heaven for their sakes, by officially offering their heads to its bolts.—Jupiter was in a yielding humor, and an earthquake laid the haughty mountains prostrate.
It is true the unbounded prospect of the lawns were now opened: the sun bid them good morning as soon as he was out of bed; and the breezes impartially visited every grove, and every stream. What felicitation went round! What greetings of brotherly affection and fellowship! It was "Citizen Grove," "Citizen Mead," and "Citizen Stream," "Brother Oak," and "Brother Elm."
But alas! this was not the only change. "I saw (said the sage from whom I have the account) the brightness of the verdure beginning to fade; the streams were sluggish and stagnant in oozy channels; and where once bubbled the cool fountain, there remained the white pebbles, but they were dry. The refreshing shower was expected in vain; it found attractions powerful elsewhere and had become a stranger. The trees drooped in the parching ray, and even the gentle breezes purlained their honors—the thunder came, and their trunks were torn by the fiery bolt;—the stormy tempests came, and the pride of the groves was laid low."
If I were to extract a moral from this tale, it should be this:—It is not so much the inequality, as the abuse of privileges, against which we are to guard; since no privilege, the exercise of which redounds proportionably to the general good, can be wrongly bestowed. Make the rulers whom I am to obey, subject to the same restrictions with myself, from doing evil; but let them enjoy the privilege of doing as much good as they please.
The great press of highly interesting Foreign News, occasions a postponement of sundry Electioneering Articles.

The Atlantic left Liverpool the 19th August—Having been favored by a Gentleman with the SUN, a London paper of the 16th, and WHEELER'S MANCHESTER CHRONICLE of the same date, we are enabled to lay the following INTERESTING CONTENTS before our Readers.
LONDON, August 16.
The Dutch Mail due yesterday, arrived this morning, and brings the following particulars of the preliminary business to the important Revolution which has taken place in the Government of France.
PARIS, July 28.
Yesterday, the 27th inst. was a most remarkable day. Indeed on the 25th the Debates in the Convention and in the Jacobin Club, were mostly directed upon the oppression to which the Convention was exposed; upon the efforts made for Creating a Dictatorship; upon the plans of murder which were in agitation; upon the necessity of restoring their freedom to the Representatives of the People, &c.
On the 26th Robespierre made a long Oration, in which he endeavored to prove and justify the purity of his intentions. This oration was followed by long and violent debates, which were remarkable for such a spirit of boldness and independence, as had not been perceived in the Convention for many months past.
Yesterday (July 27th) St. Just, who requested to be heard, was silenced, and promptly refused his request. Immediately after, Billaud Varennes rose and accused Robespierre of being a tyrant, after having carefully established his proofs upon many notorious facts. The Galleries and the Hall of the Convention heard this accusation with the loudest shouts of applause, and whenever Robespierre attempted to open his mouth to vindicate himself, the majority of the Convention, and the Galleries vociferated: Away with the Tyrant!
The Deputy Tallien, casting his eyes upon the bust of BRUTUS, and imploring his manes to support him, exclaimed with a drawn dagger in his hand, "I will with this dagger, rid the world of this Tyrant, if the Convention does not strike off his head with the sword of the Law." Tallien then moved, that the Sitting do not break up; and that Hanriot, the Commandant of the National Guards, be also put under arrest; both which motions were instantly decreed.
Billaud Varennes now named many other creatures of Robespierre, whose arrest was also immediately enacted by a Decree. Barrere read an Address to the People, which was adopted with the loudest applause, and the Convention decreed, that it be printed, promulgated, stuck up in the usual places, and sent by extraordinary Messengers to the Departments and Armies.
Barrere next moved, that the Armed Force of Paris be put again on the ancient footing, and that the Mayor and the National Agent be made responsible with their heads, for the safety and security of Paris. This was also decreed.
After Davier, Tallien, Billaud Varennes, Freron, Lacoste, Delmas, and other Deputies, had spoke upon the business of the day with more or less energy, it was decreed that Robespierre the elder, Robespierre the younger, St. Just, Couthon, Lebas, all Representatives of the people, and the Juror Nicholas, be put under arrest, and their papers put under seal. This was instantly executed.
Billaud Varennes, Collot D'Herbois and Barrere, seem to have timely observed the prevalence and superiority of the party against Robespierre, and forsaking the latter, to have joined his opponents.
The executions continue daily as numerous as ever. On the 15th, thirty persons were executed; on the 16th, thirty-one; on the 17th, forty; on the 19th, twenty-four; on the 20th, fourteen; in all 139 persons, in the space of six days.
Among these are—Edelman, the composer, and his brother; the ci-devant Count Fandon, and his daughter, aged 18; and several persons accused of having endeavoured to throw the French army into confusion in the late action of Fleurus. In the list of those executed on the 19th, are Magon de la Balme, aged 81 years, born at St. Maloes, and one of the richest men in France, and the whole of his family, sons and daughters. He was accused of having opened an account current with the French Princes.
LEGHORN, July 16.
We learn, by the Captain of an English merchantman, who arrived here yesterday from Calvi, that three fireships have been sent from St. Florensa, under the escort of some men of war, to join Admiral Hotham's squadron, who still blocks up the French fleet in the gulph of Juan. The garrison of Calvi still continues to make a vigorous defence, and we are informed can well do so, as they had, at the beginning of the siege, provisions and ammunition for four months.
GENOA, July 18.
Since the blockade of our Harbour has been raised, the Ships arrive without molestation. The British Consul has also noticed to our Government, that the letters of Marque granted to the Corsican Privateers against the Genoese had been revoked.
It is said that the Republican party on the other side of the Mountain in the Island of Corsica grows stronger and stronger and means to relieve the besieged Fortress of Calvi.
FRANCFORT, July 20.
The fortress of Luxemburgh is now properly supplied with every necessary to resist a serious attack. The day before yesterday, 40 miners, and as many sappers, passed through Treves on wagons, which had only been sent thither from Cologne on the 16th inst. to accelerate their march. In order more effectually to prevent the enemy from penetrating in that quarter, the main body of the Prussian army is to make a movement towards Treves and the Moselle, the better to support the left wing of the Austrian Army along the Maele. This disposition was made on the 26th ult. between the Duke of Saxe-Teschen, General Mollendorff, and Prince Reuss, whom the Prince of Cobourg sent to the Prussian Head-quarters.
The circular Troops of Franconia, who for some weeks have been collected at a small distance from this place, are now at Coblenz, to garrison the Fortress of Ehrenbreitstein.
The destruction of the Palatine town of Kufel is perfectly confirmed. It is said to have happened in consequence of a decree of the National Convention, and that the place was not plundered.
HULST, August 2.
As far as we are able to learn, Sluys has not surrendered yet. We heard a cannonade this morning, and it is that to proceed from Fort Isabella near Philippine. Yesterday, and the day before, a corps of French Dragoons made their appearance at the Polder of Clinge and the village of Kieldrecht, at the distance of half a league from hence.
PRUSSIAN CANTONMENTS.
DORBRILAS, in Poland, July 19.
The Polish corps under the command of General Rorowosky, occupied, after the retreat from Biala with 2000 regular Infantry, the Polish villages of Szboyné and Demnicki, on the other side of the River Narew. The Enemy possessed there all the advantages of locality, were surrounded by woods, and took post upon the steep Heights near Demnicki, and were stationed behind redoubts and abattis, defended by one howitzer and five pieces of cannon. In this position the enemy were attacked by us yesterday. General Gunther advanced against Demnicki, dislodged the enemy's cavalry from the village, and marched with about 350 men against the enemy. Amidst an incessant cannonade kept up by the latter, the Infantry advanced so fast, that our cannon could not follow them: they climbed up the mountains amidst the most violent fire of grape-shot, turned the enemy's left wing, rushed into the left flank of the right wing, and drove the whole hostile force down the mountains. Quarries & morasses afforded them shelter against the pursuit of the Cavalry.
Lieutenant Colonel Glafer also drove the enemy from the village of Szboyné. We took all the enemy's cannon, baggage and ammunition wagons. The enemy's loss in killed and wounded cannot as yet be ascertained. We took prisoners one Colonel, who was seized by Major Manstein himself, who performed prodigies of valour, and first mounted the redoubt; 20 other Officers and 80 Privates. We had 15 men killed and 54 wounded, including two Officers. Even in the seven years war 350 Prussians could not do more than attack an enemy, 2200 men strong, in a position fortified by art and nature, and to defeat them immediately.
MANHEIM, July 13.
Since the 12th instant, not a day has passed without some bloody action in the Palatinate, and on the left of the Rhine. Since yesterday morning, the French have
occupied the very same posts in which they were stationed two months ago, before the combined army, under the command of the Duke of Saxe-Teschen, had crossed the Rhine, and the Prussians had taken Lautern.
The following is the official Bulletin of the attack made by the French, on the 13th, upon the Corps of Prussian troops, under the command of the Hereditary Prince of Hohenlohe.
"On the 13th of July, at three in the morning, the enemy began briskly to repulse all our advanced posts. But, as Prince Hohenlohe was informed, by spies, that the serious attack would be made towards our right, above all on the post of Schanzel, near Ederheim, he paid little attention to the attacks on our front. He ordered the villages of Flemingen and Ederichoffen to be vigorously defended by abundance of light Infantry; and long our whole front, we lost not an inch of ground, during an action which lasted eighteen hours."
"The enemy having forced the regiment of Blucher, which was posted in the plain between Ederichoffen and Ederheim, to retreat, although supported by a battery of fifteen pieces of cannon, attempted to open upon us with six pieces of the cannon of the village of Ederheim. Gen. Blucher seized this favorable moment, charged the enemy and took three pieces of cannon and three ammunition wagons, with several prisoners, among whom are General Laboisiere, and Colonel Ferrier, called Mitraille (grape shot) commander of the horse artillery. The number of men killed in the village of Ederheim is immense."
"While, in this point, success seemed to be on our side, the Prince was informed that the post of Schanzel had been attacked three times by fresh troops, and that the bravery of our men had repulsed them with very considerable loss. For more security, however, and considering the great fatigue of the troops, the Prince detached, to that post two battalions of fresh troops, the whole that were at his disposal, because two battalions only remained in the position, and the Duke of Saxe-Teschen had the goodness to lend him two battalions of Oliver Wallis."
"About half an hour past eight in the evening, every thing having terminated to our advantage, we seemed to have the best founded hopes of complete success of the day. But the post of Lieutenant General Kleist having been forced, this enabled the enemy to turn the right flank of the post of Schanzel; added to which, the enemy's troops consisted of eight fresh battalions against troops fatigued with fighting from two in the morning. The news of this reached the Prince at nine in the evening. He resolved immediately to retreat a league, and by that means changed to his advantage, the field of battle. In this position we expect the enemy every moment."
"The loss of this day was considerable—It is computed at from 5 to 600 men killed and wounded, among whom are Gen. Pfau and 38 officers. According to the reports of defectors, the enemy lost more than 3000 men."
HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE IMPERIAL ARMY,
AT FOURON-LE-COMTE, Aug. 2.
On the 31st of last month a Council of War was held, at which all the general officers assisted. It was believed that the question was, What measures should be taken for the defence of the Meuse, and particularly of Liege.
The same day, the Deputies of the States General of the United Provinces had an audience of the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg, on the subject of provisioning and defending Maestricht. One of the measures resulting from this conference, is an order given to General Kray, who is encamped before that town, to throw himself with his corps into it, to reinforce the garrison, in case he cannot stand an attack.
The resolution to maintain our present position, is proved by the permission given by the Prince of Saxe-Cobourg to his officers, to bring back their equipage, a permission by which several have already profited.
M. de Merci-Argenteau, who arrived on the 29th at our head-quarters from Vienna, and on the following day continued his route to London, by the Hague, positively assured us, that it is the intention of the Emperor that his army should protect the Meuse with all its energy. The position which we have taken for that purpose is very advantageous; and should we not be able to maintain it, we can take another on the side of Juliers. The principal body of our army is posted between Vilet and Maestricht. General Kray is with eight battalions and five divisions before Maestricht; General de Weeneck is near Sittart; the Generals Kollowrath, Hadick, and Kerpen, cover and defend the passage of Ruremonde; but the most important point is that which Gen. de La Tour occupies, with twenty or twenty five thousand men, near Liege, where he will defend Chartreus and the passage of the Meuse at the suburb of Amercœur. That is the point against which the French seem to direct their principal force—they cannot have less than forty or fifty thousand men in that quarter.—Things, however, remain, actually in the same state.
BRUSSELS, July 28.
The French, since their gaining possession of the Low Countries, have imposed Contributions upon all the Towns; Brussels has to pay Five millions in specie—This was to be levied in twenty-four hours; but unable to pay it, Hostages have been taken, and sent into France. Two Millions are imposed upon the Town of Louvain, besides 8000 cattle, and 10,000 pair of boots. The University is shut up—Malines has to pay 2 Million and a half, besides 10,000 hats and 10,000 pair of shoes. The City of Antwerp has to pay Ten Millions, and to furnish 900 Sailors.
Every parish and individual is taxed, besides, every existing tax is to be continued for the benefit of the French Republic.
LONDON, August 16.
The public will do us the justice to recollect, that so long ago as on Wednesday last, upon the arrival of a Messenger from the Continent, we stopped the Preis, to announce we had received very authentic intelligence of the fall of Robespierre and his party. This important and interesting intelligence was doubted by all our contemporaries, and positively contradicted by some. The event proves at once the superiority and authenticity of our information. Of the downfall of the Robespierrean Party no doubt has for the two last days existed.
Some accounts yesterday added, that a Massacre had taken place in Paris, and that from 15 to 18000 persons had been butchered. This circumstance does not stand upon such undoubted authority as the leading fact which we first stated. It is not improbable, but that the prisoners might have suffered, but there is no positive authority for stating so extensive a carnage. It is said that Thomas Paine suffered upon the same scaffold. The following is a list of the Deputies who were executed with Robespierre on the 1st inst.:
 George Couthon, aged 38 years.  La Vallette, 30  F. Hanriot, 38  L. F. Dumas, 39  St. Juste, 26  L. Payon, 27  —Bernard, 34  N. Vivieres, 30  N. A. Combeaux, 26  L'Escoeur Fleurier, 29  A. Simon, 58  De Lounay, 33  —Warmee, 29  P. J. Robespierre, jun. N. J. Guinn; D'Hazard; Cachelot; Dourgen; and Guennett. 
Four Commissioners from Corsica arrived in Town yesterday morning. They came to Harwich in the Packet which arrived on Tuesday last, but were obliged to wait there till passports could be sent them from the Secretary of State's Office.
Letters from Maestricht, of the 8th inst. state, that in the attack which took place on the 5th inst. between the French and Austrian advanced posts on this side of Tongres, the latter had 200 cut in pieces, and 130 made prisoners.
Letters from Flushing of the 6th inst. state, that the bombardment of Sluys continued, and that the French, since their invasion of Cadland, raised four heavy batteries from New Sluys as far as Haazegras. The Dutch frigate Theilon has been sent to make an attempt to dismount those batteries, which greatly annoy the passage.
Letters from Breda of the 9th inst. state, that that place is now in an excellent state of defence; and that the news of the French head-quarters being at Hoogstraaten is premature.
Both at Bergen-op-Zoom and at Breda, a most violent cannonade was heard on the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th inst. seemingly proceeding from Dutch Flanders.
Letters from the Prussian head-quarters at Wolna, of the 30th ult. state, that the batteries against Warsaw were erected on the 27th, 28th and 29th ult. and that that place was to be bombarded on the next day.
On Thursday dispatches were received at the East-India House, over land from Bombay, which place the left about the middle of March last.
Private letters from Bombay mention, that in consequence of some discontent which had broke out in the Province of Oude, Sir Robert Abercrombie had left Bombay, and was gone with a detachment of forces into the Oude Country, to act as circumstances might require.
In consequence of Tippoo Saib having fulfilled his engagements punctually with the Government of Fort St. George, his two sons who were kept as hostages, have been sent back to Seringapatam, highly satisfied with the treatment they have experienced during their stay at Madras.
We are sorry to learn, that Admiral Graves is not sufficiently recovered of his wounds to be able to resume his command in the channel fleet, the present cruise.
Rear-Admiral Pasley is to receive a pension of 500l. per annum, as an additional reward for his services on the 1st of June.
Rear-Admiral Harvey, the gallant commander of the Ramilies in the late

memorable action, is appointed to the squadron he now commands, for the naval protection of Holland.
The first account of the downfall of Robespierre and his party which reached this country, came from Lord Shelburne at Mannheim. His Lordship mentioned it in very positive terms, and as a thing which must doubtless have been known in this country before his letter could reach it.
August 9.
This morning the four following Kings' Messengers arrived at Whitehall: Messrs. Schaw and Mason from the Army; Mr. Brookes from Berlin; and Mr. Drellius from the Hague.
The Duke of York we find had marched with the army to Breda; and the French had taken possession of his former ground at Rosendaal.
Letters from Breda of the 3d. inst. state that the head quarters of the Prince of Orange have been removed to that City.
The French have sent a large reinforcement to Dunkirk and are putting that place and the coast in a proper state of defence against a descent which they expect from England.
The Commerce, Capt. Reynolds, a constant trader from London to Amsterdam arrived yesterday morning in the river. The Captain on Monday laid in the North Seas passed four Dutch men of war of 64 guns riding at anchor in the Broad Fourteens; soon after repassed them. They saw several armed ships to the Northward, when the Dutch men of war weighed anchor and pursued them.
An expedition against the coast of France, it is said has been finally determined on. The force to be employed in this enterprise is to consist of 10,000 and will be commanded by Lord Mulgrave. Sir Sydney Smith's squadron of gun boats is to cover the landing of the troops, and to co-operate with them on the occasion.
The latest accounts from Poland are of the 20th. ult. at which time the Prussians had not taken Warsaw.
Yesterday's accounts were received at Lloyd's of the capture of thirteen valuable outward bound ships, in the Channel by which the Underwriters, on a very moderate computation will lose 100,000.
Accounts were received at the Sierra Leone house on Saturday last, by the way of the West Indies which bring down the affairs of Sierra Leone to the 12th of April last. The colony was then engaged in the successful pursuit of the objects of its institution; the success of every one of their undertakings was such as the friends of humanity must rejoice to hear.
A few days ago at the suit of his Majesty the cause respecting the marriage of Prince Augustus Frederic and Lady Augusta Murray, which had been solemnized at the parish church of St. George Hanover-square was finally determined in the Archies Court Doctor's Commons; when Sir William Wynne delivered the judgement of the court that the said marriage was utterly null and void; and also declared that a former marriage, pretended to have been had at Rome was also by the law of this country, invalid and illegal.
Matters of the greatest moment are on the point of being brought forward. It is a subject of general conversation and belief, that the Committee of Public Welfare are about to propose a decree for arresting several Members of the Convention. Their names are even mentioned. Very loud accusations are also made against the heads of the Committee of Public Safety.
The wife of La Fayette has been arrested on her estate near Limoges, and brought into Paris.
The inundations in Holland now go on much brisker, and are considerably opposed by the late heavy rains.
The French, in Piedmont, oppressed numbers, have been able to make only a feeble opposition; for all the inhabitants have now risen in a mass, and will oblige the enemy to quit their land entirely.
The French forces destined to act against Holland, consist of about 80,000 men. The combined armies, under the command of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, are only 42,000 strong, of which 18,000 are British; but a communication will be preserved between them and the Dutch troops, commanded by the Prince of Orange.
The plan of the Committee of Public Welfare is said to be the conquest of all the country on the left side of the Rhine as far as Holland, and to make the Rhine the boundary of France.
By accounts from Constantinople, thro' Vienna, it is made to appear that a scheme of the French, which went to induce the Porte to take arms in favour of Poland, has been entirely defeated, in consequence of the interference of
the English Minister, who, at the moment that orders had been sent to the Bashaws, in Asia, directing them to march their troops into Europe, denounced a conspiracy, which had for its object nothing less than the death of the Grand Seignior, and all the principal Officers of State: this was let on foot by the Jacobinical French faction, in league with some persons in the Seraglio. Since this discovery the Court of Constantinople is determined upon the preservation of peace. The troops in Asia are ordered not to pass over into Europe.
Different letters from Cadiz bring intelligence, that two French frigates having fallen in with the St. Elmo, a Spanish ship of 74 guns, above Cape St. Vincent, a most obstinate action ensued. The frigates, notwithstanding the imminent danger they were in, refused twice to strike; upon which the Spanish Captain gave orders to fire upon them between wind and water; and thus sunk them one after another, without a single man of their crews being saved. The Spaniard had 100 men either killed or wounded in this action. The Prince of Hesse Philipsthal, who was supposed to have been killed, is a prisoner in France.
By the returns of the proper officers, it appears that 73,000 recruits have been drawn from Ireland since the commencement of the war.
The English fleet at Spithead consists of three of 110; five of 98; two of 84; twenty-one of 50; eight frigates; four smaller vessels besides fire ships, &c. These were to be joined by a Portuguese squadron ready at Portsmouth, consisting of four 74's; one 64 and three frigates.
LIST OF THE FLEET AT SPITHEAD. Queen Charlotte, Esq. Howe, Sir R. Curtis; Royal George, Lord Bridport, Capt. Domett; Royal Sovereign, Capt. Nicolls, 110 guns; Queen, Sir Allan Gardner, Capt. Bedford; Barfleur, - Adm. Elphinstone, Capt. Elphinstone; Impregnable, Adm. Caldwell, Capt. Wilcott; Grafton, Capt. Bouverie; London, Adm. Montagu, Capt. Halkett, 98; Royal William, Sir P.

West; Spider, do. Lanyon; Albion.
The following is a correct list of the Portuguese ships now at Portsmouth. SHIPS OF THE LINE. Vasco de Gama 74, Maria Premier, 74, Reine de la Portugal 74, Conde d'Henrique 74, Princesa de Beira 64. FRIGATES. Carlotta 42, Falcoa 22, Voador 22. The complement to each ship of the Line which is complete is 650 men.
The news from Poland is not very interesting. The city of Warsaw is closely besieged by the Prussians on one side. The latter seem in this situation to be relying on their arms, waiting for their heavy artillery. The Polish army, under Kosciuszko, which occupies an advantageous situation near Warsaw, is 50,000 strong. The advanced posts of each army have daily skirmishes.
It is agreed between the courts of Berlin and Petersburg, that no more Russian troops shall be stationed at Warsaw, which is to be garrisoned by the Prussians.
There are private letters in town from Berlin, which mention that on the 22d inst. the King of Prussia had been obliged to retreat from before Warsaw; but we cannot state this fact in positive terms, though it is told us from a very respectable quarter.
Tallien whose character is said to be more infamous, if possible, than his predecessor, succeeds him in conducting the wild machine of the French Republic.
The Packet arrived this morning from Flushing, went in his passage near Ostend and Dunkirk. He states that he could easily distinguish four or five frigates, and a large number of smaller vessels in Ostend harbour.
Sluys continues strongly besieged by the enemy, who have 27,000 men before it; but we cannot learn that any advantage has been gained over the garrison, which is well supplied with provisions and ammunition.
The Flanders mail brings an account that Pichegru had been sent in irons to Paris. That there had been something extraordinary transacting in the French army, may easily be concluded from the circumstance of their having scooped their victorious career without having received any check from the arms of the Allies. If they had been in a condition to pursue their victories, and to put their boasts into execution, they would not surely have laid upon their arms merely for the purpose of affording the Dutch an opportunity of putting their country into such a state of
defence, as we trust, would have frustrated all their views of plunder in that quarter, had they attempted, or still attempt to realize them. We have, however, could have conceived that the cause of this delay on the part of the enemy, had been the arrest of their General, a circumstance that we think, may likely lead to a disorganization and disaffection in the French army, and may probably be the means of our recovering Flanders with the same facility with which it was lost.
August 16.
The Death of ROBESPIERRE, and the fall of his Party.
One of the letters from Frankfort says, that "On the 26th ult. (one day later than the printed accounts from Paris) Robespierre denounced above 100 of the present Convention as Moderates and Counter-Revolutionists : as usual, the applause of his hirelings gave the audible stamp of approbation, and the Convention closed for the day."
On the following, however, the popular voice, after being long stifled, broke forth against the measure. At the Jacobin Club, a similar disposition gained the ascendancy, and the Oracle of the Committee of Public Welfare was hooted from the Tribunal; no violence, however, at the moment, was offered to his person, and the succeeding morning was expected to bring forth important events. It arrived, and the first piece of intelligence published to the City of Paris was, that Robespierre had put a period to his own existence."
Letters from Geneva of the 30th ult. state, that the executions had then ceased for two days—seven self-elected members of the revolutionary tribunal had been dismissed their office; several of the imprisoned clergy had been released; and the people in general seemed extremely averse to the abandoning Geneva to the power of the French republic. The Swiss Cantons have stopped all kind of provisions and ammunition from being sent to that City.
There are letters of a recent date in town, which state, that the citadel, as well as the town of Liege, is in the possession of the Austrians; and that the French have fallen back to some distance. These letters also confirm what we yesterday stated, that the Austrians and Prussians have re-crossed the Rhine.
A Revolution in Geneva.
This event has taken place upon the principles of Liberty and Equality, under the immediate direction of M. Soulavie and Merle, French Commissioners, who had brought over a large party of the inhabitants into their measures. Early in the morning of the 19th the members of a Club, of which the two Frenchmen were leaders, had recourse to arms, and, aiming the populace at the same time, took possession of the gates and arsenals. They then selected a Revolutionary Committee, by whom every person inimical to their interests was instantly apprehended, and sent to prison, nearly a thousand in number, amongst whom is M. Necker, late prime minister of France. Among the prisoners, all the ecclesiastics, no one excepted, are comprehended.
Soulavie is at the head of every thing; his confidants have taken on themselves the whole of the management; and so fully was he prepared for what was to happen, that early on Sunday morning he transmitted to the club a list of those who were to be apprehended, with orders to seize them wherever they could be found.
The Revolutionary Tribunal was no sooner elected, than it proceeded to exercise its functions. On the 22d it sentenced to death fourteen persons—seven of these sentences were confirmed by the revolutionary mass—the others were changed into banishment or imprisonment, with confiscation of property. The condemned were instantly shot.
The populace, since the revolution, and at this hour, pillage every where, and are eager in endeavouring to discover all whom they consider any way inimical to the present system.
The opposition have long re-echoed, in scorn, the emphatic interrogatory, "With whom can we treat?" We now repeat the question, and let them answer if they can.
The Mons. Necker lately arrested at Geneva, is the brother of the famous French Financier.
By a letter from Guernsey, dated the 12th inst. we learn, that the French had then nine or ten frigates, and a large fleet of ships laden with provisions, lying in Cherbourg.
Mr. Hope, it is thought, has already remitted to this Country near half a million of money—most of which, no doubt, will be lodged in our Funds.
There were such fears entertained for the safety of the vessel which brought Mrs. Hope and Family to England on Sa-
turday last, that the very day before, an insurance was made on her at eleven per cent.
The Manifesto said to be stuck up in some of the public places in Amsterdam declaring the neutrality of the principal merchants and traders there, in case of a French irruption; we have the best authority for saying, is spurious, and has been either fabricated by some of the opposition Papers here, or by some of their Partisans in Holland.
Robespierre, jun. attempted to make his escape, by jumping out of a high window; but one of his legs being fractured by the leap, he was retaken and executed with his accomplices.
Tallien, whose character is said to be more infamous if possible, than that of his predecessor, succeeds him in conducting, governing and enslaving the wild French Republicans.
Information is also brought, that Pichegru, Commander of the army in the Netherlands, has been sent to Paris in irons.
DOVER August 15.
The Express Packet-boat, Capt. Dell which arrived this morning from Flushing with mail and passengers; confirms the death of Robespierre and his friends.
By the Packet we learn, the French have at Ostend 172 Boats and Vessels carrying from one to six guns each, and several large Armed ships. The destination of this Armament is unknown, but it is supposed to be intended against Flushing.
The Hawke Sloop of War, Captain Bowen, came into the Downs from off Dunkirk this morning; he states, that four frigates were laying in the Road there last night, and that the one which drove on shore about a fortnight ago was totally wrecked; he discovered some part of the hull on the shore.
This day arrived in our harbor, the Alert Schooner, Capt. Moore of Boston, from Calais, which place he left yesterday afternoon. By her we have positive information that Robespierre and Brother, St. Just, and all the chiefs of that party have been defeated and were guillotined on Friday the 11th inst.
HARWICH, August 15.
His Majesty's packets the Prince of Wales, Captain Hearn, and Dolphin, Captain Flynn, arrived this morning from Helvoetsluys, under convoy of the Savage Sloop, Captain Winckworth. Dowager Lady Spencer, Lord and Lady Belborough, Lord Elgin, and Compte de Merci d'Argenteau, with their carriages and domestics came by the Prince of Wales; and the Dutch Mail, Officers from the army, and other passengers, came by the Dolphin.
Capt. Osborne, of the Diana Dover Post-office packet, arrived express from Helvoetsluys, with Messrs. Slater and East, two of the King's messengers, who were landed at Aldborough, on the Suffolk coast.
From a variety of accounts from the continent, there is every reason to believe that a Counter-Revolution has taken place at Paris, and that Robespierre shot himself rather than submit to be made prisoner.—Report says, that three or four thousand were massacred.
PHILADELPHIA, October 9.
The Intelligence Published in this Gazette this day, is taken from the latest and only London Newspaper of the 16th August, brought by the Atlantic.
By Baltimore papers of the 6th and 7th instants, it appears that thirty four persons died at Fell's Point in the town, and precincts, from Saturday morning to Monday evening—according to the Statement of the Committee.
We are desired to state that the accident which lately happened to a carriage and horses crossing the Delaware, took place in a Ferry boat that went from Arch Street Ferry bound to Cooper's Ferry.
Verbally, we learn, that when the Atlantic failed it was not known to a certainty whether Robespierre had been assassinated or put to death after trial, no intelligence to be relied on had been received of any consequent confusion in the army. Mr. Horne Tooke; Rev. Mr. Joice, and others confined for high treason were to be tried in September. Gen. Ad.
Camp, at Carlisle October 3.
"On Thursday Major Macpherson, at the head of a very respectable body of young men, entered this town, and yesterday 27 pieces of artillery, under Capt. Thompson, with Col. Gurney's
battalion, arrived, and immediately encamped near us. Here is a most extensive common admirably calculated for the present purpose: It is sufficient to encamp 10,000 men on: at present are about 2000, including Philadelphia horse, infantry, & artillery—Lancaster, Berks, &c. horse.
"This day, at 12 o'clock, we witnessed a most interesting scene. It was announced that THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, was approaching. Immediately the three troops from Philadelphia, Gurney's and Macpherson's battalions, and the artillery paraded. The horse marched down the road about two miles, followed by the Jersey cavalry in great numbers.—We were drawn up on the right of the road, where our Beloved Washington appeared on horse-back in a travelling dress, attended by his Secretary, &c. As he passed our troop, he pulled off his hat, and in the most respectful manner bowed to the officers and men; and in this manner pulled the line, who were (as you may suppose) affected by the sight of their Chief, for whom each individual seemed to shew the affectionate regard that would have been to an honored parent. As soon as the President passed, his escort followed, we joined the train, and entered the town—whose inhabitants seemed anxious to see this very great and good man: crowds were assembled in the streets—but their admiration was silent.
"In this manner the President passed to the front of the camp, where the troops were assembled in front of the tents; the line of artillery, horse and infantry, appeared in the most perfect order: the greatest silence was observed. The President approached the right uncovered, passed along the line bowing in the most respectful and affectionate manner to the officers in front: he appeared to be well pleased. The spectacle was grand, interesting and affecting—every man as he passed along poured forth his wishes for the preservation of this most valuable of their fellow citizens. The Jersey troops returned, before this to their own encampment, and were not present at this last sublime instance of the cheerful subordination of citizens to the call of their chief, for the support of law and order.
"Here you might see the aged veteran, the mature soldier, and the zealous youth, assembled in defence of that government which must (in turn) prove the protection of their persons, family and property.
"As the troops are coming in daily, there will soon be here a most formidable body of men, sufficient to subdue all the opposers of government, and, if necessary, any foreign foes."
MR. FENNO,
A respectable number of citizens have agreed to support the following Ticket at the ensuing Election:
Representative in Congress—Thomas Fitzsimons.
State Senators—Joseph Thomas, William Bingham, Nathaniel Newlin, Robert Hare.
Assembly—George Latimer, Benjamin R. Morgan, Jacob Hiltzheimer, Robert Waln, Lawrence Seckel, Francis Gurney.

Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank: To caves where wretches with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan: Oward he moves!—Disease and death retires, And mur'm'ring demons hate him, and admire.

Select Stories,
For the instruction and amusement of Youth. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin. Extract from the Preface. "To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of an amusing child, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be an contemptible effort of the mind. Whenever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem."
"Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valuable substitute (where such may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author." At No. 24, north Third street, may also be had the following

Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, navigable to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock, about twelve miles from the Susquehannah.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well watered meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, towards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends, the communication to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every en miles square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians.
For further particulars apply to George Eddy. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letter directed to George Eddy, at Philadelphia, or this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodgm

FOR SALE,
the following
Tracts of Land,
in Virginia.
ONE tract in Frederick county, containing 8736 acres, being part of that whereon col. Thomas Bryan Martin now resides, known by the name of Greenway court, about 12 miles from Winchester and 5 from Newtown. For the convenience of purchasers, it will be divided into parcels of various dimensions from 200 to 600 acres, which may be viewed by application to col. R. K. Meade, living near the premises. The greater part is very fertile and well timbered.
Another tract in the same county on Passage creek, containing 230 acres, and adjoining Jacob Levigoods.
Another tract in Hampshire county, containing by patent, 699 acres, called Slim Bottom, situate on both sides of the South Branch and within two miles of the mouth of it, and is supposed to have a good mill seat.
Another tract in Hampshire county on New Creek and Kettle-Lick, containing 501 acres.
Another tract in Prince William county, called Leesylvania, containing upwards of 2000 acres, lying upon Potomack river, about 23 miles below Alexandria, and 28 below the City of Washington, comprehending Freefone Point, which appears to be a quarry of free-stone, covering about 50 acres and adjoining the river, where vessels of 100 tons conveniently harbour. On another part of this tract it is supposed there is a quarry of slate, convenient to water carriage. Upwards of two thirds are in woods. Mr. Enoch S. Lane, living on the premises, will show this tract.
Another tract, in Fairfax county, called Springfield, containing 2040 1-2 acres, about 13 miles from Alexandria and 10 from Washington; abounds with fine springs and meadow ground, and may be seen by applying to Mr. John Wood, living on part of it.
Another tract in Fairfax county, containing 392 acres, on Turkey-cock Run, about 6 miles from Alexandria.
Another tract in Fairfax county, containing about 176 acres, adjoining Mr. J. Watson's seat, about four miles from Alexandria.
Another tract, in Fairfax county, containing 543 acres, near Occoquan, joining Mr. Edward Washington's.
Another tract, in Fairfax county, containing 80 acres or thereabout, within a mile of Pohick Landing, and within five miles of Mount Vernon, lies level, and is well timbered.
An undivided moiety in another tract, containing about 234 acres, in Fairfax county, about 5 miles from Washington, & 9 from Alexandria, where J. Robinson formerly lived.
Another parcel of land, within a mile of Alexandria, containing about 24 acres, and to be sold in acre or half-acre lots.
Also, sundry unimproved lots of various sizes, in different parts of the town of Alexandria.
To describe the premises more particularly is deemed unnecessary, as it is expected every person will examine and view whatever part he shall be inclined to buy. My only object being to raise a certain sum of money, by selling so many or such parts of the aforesaid tracts of land and lots as shall be necessary for that purpose, one half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of contract, and the other within a year from the first day of August next, and at the time of delivering possession or executing a legal conveyance. The lands remaining unsold, except the tract in Prince William, after raising a limited sum, will be divided into tenements, and leased for a term of years. From the 12th day of October next, till the 15th of December, it shall be in the city of Richmond, and after that time I shall remain at home, in Alexandria, at which places, or elsewhere, I shall be prepared to detail particulars, and to enter into contracts.
