To be sold by Auction.
On Tuesday the 14th day of November next, at noon, at the house of Archer Gifford, in New-ark, New Jersey, if not previously disposed of by private contract.
THE FOLLOWING Tracts of Land,
Belonging to the American Iron Company, situate at Ringwood, Long Pond, and Charlottenburg, in the Counties of Bergen and Morris in the said State of New-Jersey, viz:
 12 tracts of land, containing about 6333 acres, situate at Ringwood, on part of which the Ringwood Mansion-House and Store are erected.  4 tracts of Land, containing about 6136 acres, situate on Long Pond River.  7 tracts of Land, containing about 6163 Acres, situate at Charlottenburg. 
These Estates are well worthy of the attention of any Gentleman or Company inclined to engage extensively in Iron Works: There are several Buildings and some considerable Improvements on these Lands; about 80 Acres of excellent Meadow, are already cleared, and much more might be added at a trifling Expense. On the Premises there are several very convenient Seats for Furnaces, Forges, Mills, &c. There are also some very valuable Iron Mines. Most of the unimproved Parts of these Lands are covered with fine healthy Timber. These Estates will be shown by Captain Joseph Board, of Ringwood, and the Terms of Sale made known by applying to him, or to
Edward Edwards, In Philadelphia, at the corner of Sixth and Race-Streets. Sept. 11. sawtf.

C. W. PEALE.
EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM fill more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will inter their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications in a private book which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

Distant Subscribers For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up 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 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.

For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO,
Some persons talk of battle "about an election" as a necessary appendage of the existence of the high and sacred right of suffrage—I never had a conception that noise and battle conducted to the preservation of liberty, threw any light on the character of candidates, or enabled a man to vote with more wisdom and understanding—the reverse of this will be found the case—Some men are full of noise, they can make a noise—it is necessary to their purpose; but there is no relation between their noise, and that wisdom which shall promote the public interest.
Of all public transactions, that of elections ought to be conducted with the greatest calmness and decency—it is not in a crowd that the still small voice of reason is heard—it is not in a battle that a man would weigh talents, scrutinize characters, and form a judgment. This is so well known to many, who know very little else, and yet let themselves up for candidates, that they treat the people as if they were a swarm of bees, who are to be led by sounds and noise only—for their battle is made with the same design with which an artful beekeeper tinkles on a brass kettle, to lead a swarm at his heels.

National Convention July 6]
The following decree proposed by Cambon was adopted after discussion—The National Convention having heard the report of the committee of finances decrees as follows:
All persons having in their possession goods belonging to countries at war with the republic, shall send them in one month from the promulgation of this Decree to the office of the their respective districts—and in Paris to the national Treasury, where they will be furnished with the receipts.
The debts of strangers shall be reduced to the money of France, according to the price of exchange at Paris at the period of the seizure and confiscation of the property of strangers; the amount according to that valuation, shall be paid in assignats.
The commissioners of the treasury shall regulate the price of exchange pursuant to the foregoing article, and send their valuation to the directors and receivers of the different districts.
These directors shall take possession of the effects, real and personal belonging to the subjects of the countries at war with the Republic; which they shall dispose of as other national property, and the proceeds shall be paid into the hands of the receivers.
The receivers shall pay to the national treasury the amount of their receipts, which shall be deposited in the Chest with three keys.
They shall keep a particular account of the payments made in virtue of this Decree, living however, the mode decreed for deposits and assignment.
Those who shall not obey this decree within the time limited, shall be subjected to pay four times the amount by them retained.
It is enjoined on the national agents to attend to the execution of this Decree, and to prosecute those who are delinquent.
The following is published in an appendix to the second report of the Committee of Secrecy, of the House of Commons of Great Britain, as a copy of an address drawn up in the London Corresponding Society, to the French National Convention.
FRENCHMEN,
While foreign robbers are ravaging your territories under the specious pretext of justice, cruelty and devastation leading on the van, perfidiously with treachery bringing up the rear, yet mercy and friendship impudently held forth to the world as the sole motives of these incursions; the oppressed part of mankind, forgetting for a while their own sufferings, feel only for yours, and with an anxious eye watch the event, fervently supplicating the Almighty Ruler of the Universe to be favorable to your cause so intimately blended with their own. Frowned upon by an oppressive system of controul, whose gradual but continued encroachments have deprived this nation of nearly all its boasted liberty, and brought us almost to that abject state of slavery from which you have so lately emerged, five thousand British citizens, indignant, manfully stepped forth to rescue their country from the opprobrium brought upon it by the supine conduct of those in power; they conceive it to be the duty of Britons to countenance and assist, to the utmost of their power, the champions of human happiness, and to swear
to a nation proceeding on the plan you have adopted, an inviolable friendship; sacred from this day be that friendship between us, and may vengeance to the uttermost overtake the man, who hereafter shall attempt to cause a rupture.
Warm as our wishes are for your success, eager as we are to behold freedom triumphant; and man every where restored to the enjoyment of his just rights, a sense of our duty as orderly citizens forbids our flying in arms to your assistance; our government has pledged the national faith to remain neutral—In a struggle of liberty against despotism, Britons remain neutral! O shame! But we have entrusted our King with discretionary powers; we therefore must obey; our hands are bound, but our hearts are free, and they are with you.
Let German despots act as they please, we shall rejoice at their fall, compassionating however their enslaved subjects. We hope this tyranny of their masters will prove the means of reinstating, in the full enjoyment of their rights and liberties, millions of our fellow creatures.
With unconcern, therefore, we view the Elector of Hanover join his troops to traitors and robbers; but the King of Great Britain will do well to remember, that this country is not Hanover—should he forget this distinction, we will not.
While you enjoy the envied glory of being the unaided defenders of freedom, we fondly anticipate in idea the numerous blessings mankind will enjoy. If you succeed, as we ardently wish, with the triple alliance (not of crowns, but) of the people of America, France, and Britain, will give freedom to Europe, and peace to the whole world. Dear friends, you combat for the advantage of the human race—how well purchased will be, though at the expence of much blood, the glorious unprecedented privilege of saying mankind is free—tyrants and tyranny are no more—peace reigns on the earth and this is the work of Frenchmen!
Though we appear so few at present be assured, Frenchmen, that our number increases daily. It is true, that the stern, uplifted arm of authority at present keeps back the timid; but busily circulated impetuous hourly mislead the credulous; and that court intimacy with avowed French traitors has some effect on the unwary, and on the ambitious; but with certainty we can inform you, friends and freemen, that information makes a rapid progress among us; curiosity has taken possession of the public mind; the conjoint reign of ignorance and despotism passes away.
Men now ask each other, what is freedom, what are our rights? Frenchmen, you are already free, and Britons are preparing to become so. Casting far from us the criminal prejudices artfully inculcated by evil-minded men and silly Courtiers, we, instead of natural enemies, at length discover in Frenchmen our Fellow-Citizens of the World, and our brethren by the same Heavenly Father, who created us for the purpose of loving and mutually assisting each other, but not to hate, and to be ever ready to cut each others throats, at the command of weak and ambitious Kings and corrupt Ministers.—Seeking our real enemies, we find them in our bosoms; we find ourselves inwards torn by, and ever the victims of a restless and all-consuming aristocracy, bisected the bone of every nation under the sun. Wisely have you acted in expelling it from France.
Translated for the Centinel. National Convention, July 31. Collot D'Herbois, President.
The committee of public safety appeared in the hall, with the colours captured from the enemy. They were received with applauses.
An officer appeared at the bar, and said Citizen Representatives, You see floating the vile standards which have for a long time disgraced the walls of Landrecies, which treachery gave to our perfidious enemies.
Immortal Representatives, you have given, by your decree, to the army and to the republican guards of the communes of Maubeuge, Avesnes and Reunion-sur-Oise, the signal for victory, as well as that of terror to the satellites of tyrants.
These cowards gain momentary successes by perfidy; but they owe their defeat and their death to justice, truth and courage, which you have made the order of the day throughout the Republic and the armies.
The President in reply, said, That it was by the exploits of Republicans that victory expiated for the French the sometimes gave to the arms of tyrants. Each day says he, is but the forerunner of a battle. Each day but the eve of a new victory. Applauses.
Barrere, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety. Another day for Austria! The city and Castle of Namur are in the power of the Republic. (Lively Applauses.) While an officer is at the bar with the ensigns of despotism taken at Landrecies, another is in the tribune with the silver keys which the people of Namur presented to the Emperor of Germany. The enemy strictly adhere to the plan of flight. (Applause.)
The terror which the horde of cannibals threatened to bring into France, has receded on themselves. They fly at the very name of republicans. (Applause.)
The combined flaves are in full flight.—English, Dutch, Hessians, and Austrians, have all learned their tactics from the same principle; this for London, the proud mistress of the negative coalition, to have the honor of recording this portion of modern history.
Foreign Intelligence.
LONDON, July 15.
All the accounts received by the Mail, concur in representing the loss of the Netherlands as complete, and the defection of the Emperor from the Grand Alliance as certain.
The accounts from the French and Allied Armies on the Rhine, down to the 4th inst. contain nothing but details of movements and attacks, always concluding with the return of both parties to their former positions.
It is remarked, even in the German papers, that the whole weight of these skirmishes falls upon the Austrians, as the Prussians and the French never molest one another.
To the Editor of the Times.
SIR,
Sensible as I am that you are a lover of truth, and that you are not apt to impose upon the public by false accounts, I am induced to think it was owing to bad information, that you inserted in your paper of Tuesday, the 24th inst. a paragraph, stating, that an English ship entered the port of Spezia, and was ordered to put to sea again; and that upon the Captain making no reply, the fortresses fired on the vessel; which, after receiving some damage, was obliged to put to sea.
As Minister Plenipotentiary and envoy extraordinary from the Republic of Genoa, I have it in my power to communicate to you better information respecting this fact. On the 12th inst. at noon; at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Diamon, Capt. Sutherland was forced by bad weather into the Gulf of Spezia. An officer from the ship was sent on shore, who expressed that the Captain was sorry he had not saluted the fort, as he had not seen any flag hoisted.—He then enquired after the British Vice Consul, and wished to know whether he might get any provisions. The next day, as the ship had hoisted a Commodore's flag, the fort saluted it with 7 guns, which was returned by the ship. The Captain of the ship, and the Commander of the fort, paid each other a visit.
I hope you will be so good as to rectify the mistake, and acquaint your readers with the true account that I transmit to you; by so doing you will oblige me,
MARQUIS OF SPINOLA.

DUBLIN, June 2.
Tuesday morning a duel was fought in the Phoenix Park between Mr. Whaley, famous for his pedestrian excursion to the Holy Land and a Mr. Burke, of the county of Galway, in which each of them fired a pistol without any effect. The quarrel arose at Daily's from the latter, asking the former who he stared at him? Did he learn such manners in his travels?
The other replied he did, yet he had not been at Jerusalem. This bro't on abusive language, which was followed by a blow from Mr. Burke, when a challenge ensued.—On the ground, the gentlemen stood at twelve paces distance and both fired together, Mr. Burke fired his pistol in the air, and they were afterwards reconciled to each other.
PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 7.
The Committee appointed by the citizens at their late meeting to carry into effect the resolutions for stopping the intercourse between this city and Baltimore, have had a meeting, to consult on the measures proper to be adopted pursuant to their appointment.—They have written a letter to the chief magistrate of the Town of Baltimore including the resolutions and expressing the regret of the citizens at being compelled by the necessity of the case to have recourse to this painful measure.—The committee have taken the proper steps to execute the resolutions, by applying to the propectors or directors of the land and water stages and requesting that they would discontinue the plying of those stages until in the opinion of the Committee the business may be resumed without endangering the health of the inhabitants of this city.—They have also taken measures for providing the necessary guards at the Ferries.—Provision is also to be made
for the temporary accommodation of such passengers as may arrive, not knowing that the intercourse is interrupted. House and Innkeepers are requested by the Committee as they value their own lives, and the lives of their fellow-citizens, not to admit any person coming from Baltimore or Fell's Point, or the neighborhood thereof to lodge in any of their houses, until the Committee shall have satisfactory evidence that the malignant and contagious disorder existing therein shall have ceased.
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, 4th October, written by a person of respectability, and a merchant there.
"THE sickness here, till Tuesday last, had become very alarming; on that morning the weather took a favourable change, which has since put a stop to the disorder, and I have not since Wednesday heard an instance of any persons being taken with it; in short, we are now, thank God, in our usual state of health.—The mortality was much the greatest on Fell's Point; and it was only a few days before the alteration of the weather took place that it became alarming in town.—The merchants carried off by it, and other sickness from the wharves were, Moses Moreau, John Griffith, Benjamin May, and Josiah Crosby. It will, I expect, take a few weeks to establish the usual intercourse in our trade with the Country, which has so much decreased and stagnated our markets, it is difficult to define them—and it has occasioned the great embarrassment and defects in payments at our Banks, that has been known since their establishment."
Letters &c. received by the ship American Capt. Coit (says the New-York Columbian Centinel) state that Maastricht had been carried by storm by the French—that on the 17th July the Prussians had suffered a defeat with the loss of 1000 men.—That Robespierre, in attempting a dictatorship, had failed, and suffered the weight of the guillotine.
The sloop from Guadalupe is said to have some dispatches for the French minister, the captain of which informed Capt. Small at the Port yesterday that the French were still in possession of Point Petre, and that the British were continually bombarding it.
Sunday last John Barry, Esq. failed for St. Mary's River, (Georgia) in the brig Schuylkill, Capt. Knox, for the purpose of expediting the cutting and collecting of the timber for the frigate to be built by Mr. Joshua Humphreys, and of which he has been appointed to the command, and has carried with him the different moulds for shaping and sizing the wood, previous to its being sent to the ship yard.
On Friday last, as a ferry boat, (in which were a coach and several horses) was crossing from Cooper's Ferry to this city, a flaw of wind heeled the boat so much that the horses fell to the leeward, and over set her. The accident being observed by many people on the wharves, several boats went immediately to the assistance of the ferrymen, who held by the boat until they were relieved. The horses swam to the upper part of the city, where they got safe on shore, but the carriage (the property of Mr. George Green) sunk, and has not been found since. The people who had travelled in the coach, fortunately took passage in another boat.
The Schooner Elizabeth, Barret, for Norfolk; the Sally, Peck, and sloop William, Thrasher, for Charleston, failed from Kingston the 19th of August.
MARRIED, on Thursday Evening last, by the Rev. Dr. Ewing, Mr. SAMUEL ISRAEL, to Miss BETSEY TAGGART, both of this City.

NEW-YORK, Oct. 6.
Last evening arrived here from London, in 56 days, the ship America, Capt. Coit, who has obligingly favoured the Editor with London Papers as late as the 5th of August.—As the public are anxious to know the situation of the armies in Europe, a sketch, tho' very brief, must be acceptable. The following is all that can possibly be given in the time previous to the paper's going to press.
From verbal information from Captain Coit, we learn that Robespierre is beheaded.—This information was communicated to him by an officer of a French Frigate which boarded him nine days after he left the Downs. It is said he was executed for the assumption of too great a degree of dictatorship.
There were two French frigates in company with the one that boarded Captain Coit, who had in tow, a large English ship, which they had captured. The day preceding, Captain Coit passed through a very large fleet, under convoy of three English frigates, besides several other vessels of force.
Several of the passengers in the above vessel, say, that the most prevalent be-
lief in England was, that the French would, without much difficulty, continue to progress into their enemy's dominions, till they had completely got possession of all Holland.
LONDON, August 1.
There is no news whatever from the British troops; but we are sorry to learn, that a detachment of Prince Cobourg's army has been defeated near Maastricht, by the French: and it is said that a foreign Prince was killed.
The 88th regiment is safely arrived at Bergen-op-Zoom, from Jersey.
Wednesday a Cabinet Council was held at Lord Grenville's office, at which the Bavarian Minister was present. The principal business, it is said, related to the taking of 30,000 Electoral troops into the British service and pay, to be employed on the continent.
From Liege, July 19, we learn, "that Namur was evacuated yesterday; the garrison marched to Hoep."
The Austrian artillery and gunners from Namur are passing through this city at this moment, and the French entered that place yesterday without the smallest opposition.
The Imperial army under the Prince of Cobourg is still in the same position."
All the accounts that have been received from the Continent concur in stating, that the French are collecting an immense force in the Netherlands for the purpose of invading Holland. The defence of that Republic will most probably be undertaken by the Dutch and British troops only.
Liege had been abandoned; and the people, it is said, immediately after the departure of the Prince Bishop, sent a deputation to the French inviting them to take possession of that city.
The successes of the French on the Rhine are so complete, that Frankfort, Mannheim, and Mentz, are in danger, and several of the inhabitants have retired with their effects. Others, who were preparing to follow their example, have been prevented by a proclamation issued by the French General, who promises that no one shall be molested in his property.
The following narrow escape of the Duke of York has hitherto been unnoticed. As he was passing over a small river by means of a plank, a soldier suddenly came behind him, brushed by him, and reached the opposite bank. The Duke stopped, struck with indignation at the rudeness of the soldier; but his indignation was quickly turned into gratitude, when he saw the man's head carried off by a cannon ball, as soon as he had left the plank.
The attack which the French lately made upon the Prussians in the neighbourhood of Kaiserslautern, was perhaps the most desperate and bloody of the whole campaign. They followed it up from the 9th of the month, day after day, till Sunday the 13th, from which time, till the Wednesday following, the Prussians had not a moment's respite either night or day. The numbers of the French increased to 180,000 at least; and in their latter attack, they rushed up to the Prussian cannon with as much indifference as if they had not been loaded, carrying the whole at the point of the bayonet, killing or wounding every artillery officer except one; and almost completely annihilating the Prussian army.
August 4.
The French are said to have marched into Antwerp at 3 o'clock P.M. on Wednesday the 23rd ult. The Duke of York marched from it nearly at the same time.
There is an account received by the way of Frankfort, that Landrecy surrendered to the French on the 14th of last month.
Our letters from the army mention nothing of the reported defeat of the Prince of Saxe Cobourg.—A detachment of his army, we believe, suffered a little; but there was certainly no general defeat. The army under the command of that Prince, by the last accounts, was at Foron le Compte, a post about two or three leagues to the S.E. of Maastricht; and his heavy artillery was withdrawing towards Dusseldorf.
Died, on Saturday last, at Cromwell House, aged 36, Richard Burke, Esq. Member of Parliament for the borough of Malton, and the only son of the right honorable Edmund Burke.
The American Merchants are preparing an account of their debts due from the subjects of the United States, contracted during and previous to the last war. Mr. Jay, it is supposed, has instructions to put them in a proper way of adjustment.

Several privateers have been already fitted out from Ostend; ten Scotch vessels were captured on the 17th inst. off Lowestoff by some of them.
On Saturday Mr. East, the messenger arrived at the Secretary of State's office with dispatches from the Duke of York, dated July 30. The British army under the command of his Royal Highness remained unmolested in its position near Rosendael. On the 29th, orders were issued for the army to prepare for moving nearer to Breda; but on the 30th these orders were countermanded. The advanced guard of the French army, consisting of 6000 men, under the command of Gen. Caspard, was, on Tuesday last, about a league on the Dutch side of Antwerp.
The Prince of Orange, with the Dutch troops, occupied a position to cover the right of Breda.
The Prince of Sax Cobourg had retreated across the Meuse to Foron le Compte about 10 miles south east of Maestricht. He had sent his heavy artillery to Dusseldorf, where it is supposed he means to cross the Rhine.
On Saturday a messenger arrived also with dispatches from the Earl of Elgin, and Lord St. Helen's, at the Hague.
The accounts received by the Dutch and Flanders mails make no mention of the reported defeat of a part of the Prince of Sax Cobourg's army near Maestricht.
The garrison of Landrecy, consisting of 2000 men, surrendered at discretion on the 15th of July.
Letters from Leghorn of the 9th July mention that Calvi still continues to hold out notwithstanding the place was incessantly fired upon.
Two ships of the line, with four frigates had arrived at Leghorn; on board of one of the frigates were four Corsican Deputies on their passage to England.
From Milan we learn that the rising in a mals in Piedmont, has produced upwards of 40,000 men. They are to be divided into three columns, to assist the troops of the line in driving the French from their various posts. Their standards are decorated with the words "Vive Jesu, Maria Vergine la Religione Cattolica. Patria." But they are furnished with provisions only for a week.
Accounts from Warsaw down to the 13th mention that a general attack was expected to be made on that place in 4 days. Kosciuszko's whole force is in the intrenchments under its walls, and an obstinate resistance is expected. The most considerable part of the people are for giving up the place, but the chiefs of the insurgents are for resisting to the utmost. The centre of the Prussian army under the King in person, it is supposed, will undertake the siege. The corps under the Hereditary Prince is upon the left, and closes with the wood of Bielnow, while the right wing is formed by the Russians under General Forster, and extends to Czernichow.
Letters from Stockholm mention, that there has been a warm dispute between the Russians and Swedes near Swenkund, on an attempt by the latter to raise a small fortification. The Russians contended that the territory belonged to them. It does not appear that any blood was spilled on the occasion.
A report has gained much confidence on the Continent, that the populace of Constantinople, surrounded the seraglio, and demanded a war with the Russians in defence of Poland; that the Grand Seigneur being obliged to comply with their demand, all the troops had been sent for out of Asia, and measures taken for the immediate commencement of hostilities.
WARSAW, July 13.
On the 14th inst. a Courier arrived here, preceded by 6 pillions blowing their horns, stating, that our troops in Lithuania had not only taken the commercial city of Lieban, in Courland, but the whole of the Duchy of Courland and Semigalia, which have acknowledged the protection of Kosciuszko. Major General Von Mirbach has been appointed Major General there. It appears from this, that only a few Russian troops can have reached our Frontiers from Livonia, as the Poles could not otherwise have undertaken the expedition against Courland.
FRANKFORT, July 20.
The French at Rheinheim, Oggerheim and Kirchheim, threaten every where to break through and make a descent.
Prince Hohenlohe is at Pforzheim, near Worms. The greatest part of the
magazines of Frankenthal and Lautern are lost.
A most violent cannonade has been heard during the whole of this morning. The Prussians have lost a great many men all along their line, without reckoning their Generals, Schladen, Vols and Ruchel, who are wounded. The Schladen, Mannstein & Romberg corps suffered most. Upwards of a hundred Prussian Officers are either killed or wounded. Had the Prussians attempted to maintain Lautern, they would have risked a loss of 20,000 men, and of being cut off.
DOVER, Aug. 3.
The French continue the firing on Sluys, and it is said many gun-boats are preparing at Dunkirk to assist them in invading Holland. The Dutch have several men of war at Flushing, to oppose their passage up the Scheldt.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York and his Army continue at Rosendael—The French General has sent His Royal Highness word, that he shall very soon pay him a visit, and His Royal Highness has returned a short answer, that he is ready to receive him. I hope that the compliments on such a business will not be the most agreeable to the Carmagnols.
BOIS-LE-DUC.
The Governor of our city having received orders to put the place into a state of defence, has ordered all the sluices to be opened to effect an inundation. This measure has succeeded partially, the want of rain having left the waters very low. The same attempt has been made with at little success at Heusden, Capelle, and Breda.
FLUSHING, July 28.
The French, for these two or three days, have been in the neighborhood of Sluys, without coming near enough to the town to be annoyed by the garrison; but this morning, it seems, they began in earnest their labor, the effect of which was the complete routing of all the Dutch troops that were placed both here and there, with batteries at the entrance of the opposite side of the Scheldt. Their retreat was cut off from Sluys, so that they were obliged to fly to this place, where they arrived at 4 o'clock this morning: they were about 70 or 80 that escaped hither. We discern very plainly the Carmagnols working at the batteries, which they attempt to construct all along the shore: a Dutch armed brig has been all the morning firing at them, and they return the fire; all this we see from our ramparts here.
July 29, 1 o'clock, A. M.
Yesterday we saw very distinctly from this place across the water, which is only 4 miles, a very large body of the French horse and foot marching for Sluys; this was about a quarter past 9 o'clock. About 12 a very heavy cannonade commenced; the result no one can be acquainted with; the French were about 10,000, according to the best judges. The Mynheers began to examine their guns upon the ramparts, and a brig in the offing fired at the Carmagnols as they passed along the sands.
Sir S. Smith and Lord Moira are here. There are 400 pieces of brass cannon in Sluys; but there are not 2000 men to defend it.
We seem all panic struck, and every place given up; for as the French passed over the plain they took a fort mounted with 50 pieces of cannon with only 12 shots fired.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.

THE BYSTANDER.
The Tragedy of Percy* with the Highland Reel, reduced to an after-piece of two acts were represented on Friday evening to a very brilliant and crowded house—both of which got off, seemingly to universal satisfaction.
The curtailment of the Comic Opera the Bystander thinks a laudable improvement, and the piece certainly appears with additional advantage under its present form.
The Writer has heard it frequently observed that he confines his remarks solely to the merits of the Performers—from which he concludes that it is expected of him to notice also the Plays. He begs leave to offer his reply, and appeals to the candour and judgement of the public.
It is well known that most of the old standard plays have undergone the test of capricious taste for upwards of a Century, the strongest evidence of their present undiminished worth: and those written of later years (among which much vile trash exists) have all undergone the fiery ordeal of the Monthly and Critical Reviewers. Should a piece the production of an American pen be presented on the stage, the Bystander would conceive it his duty to the Author and the Public, to speak of it with that impartiality by which he has ever endeavored to be guided: he will
"nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice."
The Bystander has learnt with pain, that his remarks on the performance of Leander caused some convulsive symptoms to the gentleman who personated that character—Unwilling to aggravate the cause of his discontent, he will only observe, that he is not to be bullied nor cowed by flattery into obsequiousness; impartiality is his study, and though his remarks may sometimes be thought severe, yet he can make allowances, "mildly judging, like a good natural critic." When he witnesses natural failings, however singular, he can judge his wit; but an affected deportment, aiming to be internally great, induces him to compose those emotions excited by any thing ridiculous. "Non amo te, sed non possum dicere quare, tantum possum dicere, non amo te!"
October 7.
"Percy, a Tragedy, the first Dramatic Essay of Miss Hannah More's Virgin Muse, still cherished by the Fair Author but long since totally forgotten by the public."

Select Stories,
For the instruction and amusement of Town. Adapted to the use of Schools. From the French of M. Berquin.
Extracts from the Preface.
To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simplicity 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 amusing children, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem.
Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature.
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

S. Embellished with striking likenesses of that Citizen of the World. By JOHN AIKEN, M. D. To which is subjoined an ODE inscribed to John Howard, by William Hayley, Esq.
FROM realm to realm, with cross or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where languish wails aloud, and fetters clank To caves besrew'd with many a mould'ring bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan— Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And murm'ring demons bate him, and admire. Sept. 1. 3tauv3uv.

Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers only, 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 six 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.

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.

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, I 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.
