AN ODE.
On the "Loyal Contagion!" which seized the minds of the people of England, in celebrating the victory of Lord Howe over the French fleet, June 6th, 7th, and 8th.
Address'd to the mob that so "Loyally!" demolished the houses of all those who, from custom or opinion, had not illuminated their windows. By a Friend to civil and religious liberty.
Plead'd to the last, 'poor Swine P' they grunt for food, And lick the hand that's rais'd to shed their blood!
POPE.
DOFF your hats and shew your man-
ners,
Porters, beavers, tars and tanners:
Marrow-bones and cleavers ring,
Freedom! George! and Riot! Sing.
Sons of Thames and boys of Shannon,
Snap your crackers, pounce your cannon,
Stun our ears in George's cause,
Keep the road and break the laws!
Soon as dusky night comes in,
Then set up your horrid din;
Every house that dares refuse
To illuminate, abuse!
Break their windows, patriots do,
What are window-lights to you.
You who scarce have ever known
Any thing but steel or stone,
Milchier's all your liberty,
Hearts of oak be bold be free.
You by Freedom's gales are waft on,
Vast Stanhope, Eaton, Jordan!
Slam and luff and storm their gates,
Break their democratic pates.
Girls exalt your voices now,
Buttle, romp, and scream for Howe.
No more shall Howe's victorious name,
Be made the scoff of lying Fame!
Fame!—hang the lying noisy trumpeter;
Singe her tail and break her trumpet;
Bid her kiss your "better end!"
And scora the world since "Pitt's your
friend!"
He's your cushion-thumping boy,
He's the herald of your joy!
Laugh ye rogues and sup your nappy,
For Burke & Him will make you happy,
To's your greasy caps on high,
Freedom's hopes can never die,
While your ragged caudex fly.
Come, let's rather starve than sever,
George and Pitt are one for ever;
Nay, to swear can't be a crime,
Since we swear for what's "divine!"
So drink and crack and spout away,
Hallo! Howe is great to-day:
Day that never came before,
Day that can return no more.
Come then, heroes, now or never,
George, and Pitt, and Howe for ever!
* As it was with the Quakers.
Address spoken by Mr. WIGNELL at
the opening of New Theatre, Bal-
timore.
Written by Mrs. Rowson.
WHILST busy mortals various
schemes pursue,
All have some fav'rite object still in
view;
Thro' different roads each seeks the
phantom Fame!
The means diversified—the end the
same.
Thro' ranks of hostile foes the Soldier
flies,
Heroic ardour flashing from his eyes,
Braves every danger; nay, exulting
bleeds,
That future story may record his deeds!
The Miser's niggard soul, confin'd
to self,
Who wades thro' infamy and dirt for
pelf:
Deaf to the orphan's cry, the widow's
plaint,
(In hopes hereafter to be thought a
saint)
By pompous will bequeaths the ill got
store
To build a church—or alms house for
the poor!
The rigid Moralists, with pen sublime,
Preaching in solemn prose—or turgid
rhyme,
Expects, while teaching others how to
die,
His name shall soar to immortality.
Since to this fav'rite end all urge
their pow'rs,
Why should we blush to own—this aim
is ours?
And while each night we try, with
mimic art,
To banish care, wake joy, amend he
art,
Instruction with amusement, sweetly
blend,
And make gay Pleasure, modest Virtue's
friend,
Hope, cheering Hope, foretells in such
a cause,
You, who inspire th' attempt—will
smile applause.
Where freedom dwells, the Muses will repair, They love the mansions of the brave and fair; For here—th' unfetter'd, elevated mind, Can rove—thro' fancy's regions unconfin'd. Can paint each thought—each with, devoid of fear, No lawless prisons, racks or chains are here.
Thrice happy land! whose sons un-daunted stood Against oppression—purchased with their blood Their Country's Freedom! in Columbia's cause, To guard her liberties—support her laws, Again, with eager haste, they grasp the sword, Hearts, voices, hands unite with one accord.
See her brave youth advance!—untaught to fear, To guard that pile—their fathers—died to rear; Aw'd by their frown—fell Discord wings her flight To the dark regions of eternal night; Domestic jars and discontent shall cease, And all to come—be unity and peace. This blissful prospect—our success insures! (Tho' to condemn or to reward—be yours,) Whilst from our * motto's plan, we never swerve, You'll not withhold the meed—we labour to deserve. * Pleasure the means—The end Virtue.
From the Eagle—published at Hanover, (N. H.)
A Parisian Gazette, of recent date, contains a pompous description of the "Feast to the Deity." Messrs. Colon & Spondee think this entertainment another striking proof of the bizarre character of the French—The works of their own Encyclopedists might have prevented the Jacobin club from going to market to collect viands for a feast to God. The shades of VOLTAIRE, D'ALEMBERT, and HELVETIUS, hovering over the Hall, might have thus addressed the Feastmakers.
Your Festival is both, inconsistent and aristocratical; inconsistent, as it militates with your vaunted belief in those atheistical creeds, which, with more than Roman catholic devotion, you repeat from our works; and aristocratical, as it virtually acknowledges a Monarch of the Universe, an idea abhorrent from every principle of Equality. No, deluded Legislators, after pronouncing the Son an Aristocrat, Consistency required you to consider, as a despot, the Father. You should have repaired to the Champ de Mars, and haranguing the Heavenly Host, implore the four and twenty elders to form themselves into a club, and abolish the odious distinctions of Rank in Heaven. Instead of spreading a "Feast" to the Supreme, a "Decree" should pass, annulling his power and restoring, to each fallen Angel, his abrogated privileges. Satan himself would then no longer sneak about, like a Dog with his chain, but, under the auspices of divine democracy, would rise. The Robespierre of equal fies." C.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
15 Messidor, July 3.
Barrere, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety—Citizens, victory continues to be faithful to liberty. West Flanders, Belgards, are still the theatres of our triumphs, and the department of Jemappe is restored to the Republic. He then proceeded to read the following letters:
Mons, Messidor, 13, July 1.
"Citizens Colleagues,
"Half an hour since we entered Mons. A division of Gen. Ferrand, commanded by him, and by Gen. Faverau, took possession of the place. This important acquisition has not even cost us a man. We were received by an immense multitude with the most lively acclamations. Every where resounded the cries Vive la Nation! Vive la Republic! The flaves fly, and we may presume that some part of them will fall into the hands of the columns who have advanced towards Mont Panifal. To-morrow, I will enter into further details. (Signed) "LEURENT."
"P. S. I arrived just at the moment my colleague had finished his letter, with the divisions under the command of the brave General Kibert. The enemy are completely driven from the environs of Mons. While we compelled them to abandon that formidable position, the advanced guard of the army of the Moselle, commanded by the intrepid Lefebure, attacked the camp
of Reux, and experienced an equal degree of success." (Signed) "GILLET."
"At present Landrecy is invested by the division of General Jacob. I subjoin the letter which he has written me upon the occasion."
From the Head Quarters before Landrecy.
13 Messidor, July 1.
"At present I have completely invested Landrecy: I occupy a part of the forrest of Mormale; it must quickly fall into my hands, if superior forces from the quarter of Quesnoy or Valenciennes do not compel me to raise the blockade.
"I have, however, so taken my measures as at least to prevent the danger of any surprise. (Signed) "JACOB."
16th Messidor, July 5.
Barrere announced the evacuation of Ostend and Tournay, by the allied troops, and concluded with proposing a decree, which was adopted to the following effect:
"The National Convention decrees, that all the troops of the coalised tyrants shut up in the places of the French territories invaded by the enemy on the Northern frontier, and who do not surrender at discretion, within twenty four hours after they are summoned by the Generals of the army of the Republic, shall not be admitted to capitulation, but shall be put to the sword."
POLISH AFFAIRS.
From the Berlin Gazette.
Warshaw, June 24.
The Russian general Derfeldt profited by the advantage gained over us at Chelme on the 8th; he marched immediately for Pulawi, and pursuing the right bank of the Vistula he has approached this place without much interruption. General Mokronowski has in vain attempted to oppose him, and equally vain have been the efforts of Kosciuszko, who is posted eight leagues from hence, between Varieck and Gura. To these cruel alarms are added our fears of a famine; we have only eight days provisions left. It is true that the supreme council has seized all the magazines which the emperor had sent by the Vistula to his army; but, alas! how insufficient are those for the consumption of the vast number of persons contained in this great town. Disencouragements meet us every where. Our great men have betaken themselves to flight, the Burgesses tremble for their property, and the majority begin to murmur.
June 21.
On Sunday last, about 700 wounded Russians and Poles arrived here from the army of Zuzionzeck and other corps. They were conducted with great pomp to the hospital established at the palace of Branicki. At the same time several Franciscan friars left their cloysters, and marched to join the army in defence of the liberties of their country.
PRUSSIAN-HEAD QUARTERS
Konigs, in Poland, June 28.
Yesterday we succeeded in passing the desiles and woods of Kielec. The advanced posts of the enemy after a short engagement with our vanguard, under the orders of General Ferson betook themselves to flight leaving behind them eight killed and twelve prisoners. General Denilov having found an opportunity of attacking the enemy's vanguard, took the commanding officer with 273 men prisoners killed as many more, and took four small pieces of cannon.
This day we are continuing our march to Opozeno and thence to Gniewlodz in order if possible, to cut off all communication between the enemy and Warshaw, and bring them into a very critical situation. A considerable corps of Russian troops is approaching on the other side of the Vistula, from Lublin and Lithunia.
LONDON.
At the illumination on the other night, the very idea of the horrors attending the cry of "Put out your lights," made a poor loyal German, in Bedfordbury, watch his little farthing rush-lights on Wednesday till a late hour—At length he ventured really to put out his lights; prudently pulling up at his door the following notice in capitals—"Two o'clock—gone to bed. If I am to light again, pray be so obliging as to ring the bell!"
The new money coined in Poland will bear on one side the arms of the Republic, on the other this inscription, "Liberty, Integrity, and Independence of the Republic!" The books of the United Society of Irishmen are put into the hands of seve-
ral literary gentlemen, who are translating the resolutions into English.
The King of Prussia, it is to be observed, does not march very fast to earn the money which he is to have for assisting us. It should be remembered, that the French frontiers are 700 miles from his home—that his chief generals have pronounced it the grave of his armies—and accordingly march there as if they were going to a funeral!
Amongst the other subsidies induced by the war, that of the King of Prussia, tho' the most extraordinary, is not the most ridiculous—we pay to the King of Sardinia 75,000l. for running away from his capital!
Should the French push on their conquests to Rome, it will be a very sufficient proof of the Pope's fallibility, notwithstanding the volumes that have been written to the contrary.
His Holiness is at present surrounded by the triple cross Cardinal's caps, and British Guards. It is not difficult to conjecture in which he places the most confidence!
The Sublime and Beautiful.—Mr. Burke, on Saturday, speaking of the appointment of Mr. Hastings, to eradicate the prevailing corruption in India, said, that such a task was improvidently consigned to a man so corrupt.
He was no more suited to this duty than a man who had slept a month in a pig's sty would be fit for a perfumer's shop.
Twenty-two eight pounders, form part of this year's present from the Court of Denmark to the Dey of Algiers.
UNITED STATES.
PITTSBURGH, September 27.
At a meeting of a considerable number of the inhabitants of Washington and other counties on the west of the mountains, the present state of this country with respect to the late convulsion was taken into view; and from comparing information, it appeared to them that the country was in full progression, if not wholly arrived, at a state of general submission to the laws; so as to render it unnecessary for any advance of force on the part of the government for the purpose of assisting the civil authority in suppressing insurrection, and preserving peace; and that measures ought to be taken as speedily as may be, to communicate information of this favorable state of affairs to the government.
Resolved therefore, That a meeting of the delegates of townships of the rath of August, at Parkinson's ferry, be called to convene at the same place, viz. Parkinson's ferry, on Thursday next, the 2d of October, to take the above into consideration; and as it is of great moment the delegates are earnestly requested to be punctual in their attendance and at an early hour that day.
And it is recommended that all justices of the peace, and members of the committee obtain and bring forward all signatures of the declaration of submission that may be taken, in order to lay them before the committee, and forward to government, with such address or commissioners on the part of the country as may be thought advisable.

Extract of a letter from Union Town, dated September 4.
"This country seems to wear a gloomy aspect; at the present juncture intestine broils threaten the land. Between 700 and 1000 men were collecting in town the other day. But I believe they were like the Ephesians, the majority knew not the cause of their coming together. However, we have got a liberty pole, and I suppose we may all do as we please."
With heartfelt sorrow, we have to announce to our numerous friends the death of Capt. JAMES ALLEN of this place, who died on Friday morning last, at his own house, after his return from the late expedition to Fredericktown, (with his patriotic company of Rifle volunteers) against the deluded usurpers of the laws of his country; his illness being of a short
duration, which he bore with a christian and manly fortitude; he was invincible in his inflexibility, and in his love of truth and justice the community in him has lost the good citizen, the sincere friend, and the enlightened patriot, his amiable widow the tender husband, and lovely offspring the affectionate and indulgent parent, and much regretted by his intrepid and gallant company, and numerous acquaintances, who were no strangers to his benevolence and humanity.
HARRISBURGH, Sept. 29.
On Friday afternoon, three companies of horse, containing in all 130, arrived from Philadelphia, the whole under the command of Captain John Dunlap. The company of light dragoons, commanded by Captain John Irwin of this town; the corps of light infantry, commanded by Capt. Geo. Fisher, with the most distinguished officers of the county, were paraded, (all in complete uniform) in order to receive them.—After the usual ceremonies the dragoons dismounted to refresh themselves, and yesterday morning they proceeded on to Carlisle.
Tuesday last passed through this on their way to General Wayne's army, about 80 regular troops, commanded by Capt. Lyman. They were from the state of Massachusetts and in good spirits.
Thursday evening arrived here from New Jersey, under the command of Richard Howell, Esq. Governor of that State, about 370 dragoons, completely mounted and equipped—all volunteers. It raining on their arrival, the citizens of Harrisburgh, with their usual degree of affection to the sons of liberty and patriotism, voluntarily opened their doors for their reception, during the night.
The next morning they crossed the Susquehannah, on their way to Carlisle, after expressing their satisfaction for their accommodation in the following manner:
THE Commander of the Jersey Militia Detachment, feels himself bound to acknowledge the politeness of the Citizens of Harrisburgh, to his corps, and requests that their gratitude and his own, joined with the highest respect, may be signified in any proper manner.
RICHARD HOWELL, Comd't. Jersey Detachment. Harrisburgh, Sept. 25, 1794.
CHARLESTON, Sept. 5.
On Thursday last, his Britannic Majesty's frigate the Beaulieu, Capt. Riou, fell in with an American Schooner from St. Vincent's, bound to New-London, laden with coffee, rum, sugar, which had been captured by the French privateer Industry; who had put on board a prize master and four men, all Americans. The vessel was taken possession of and sent to Halifax.—They likewise say—the privateer was captured by a sloop of war from Halifax, now off the coast.
By the way of Augustine, we learn, that eleven ships of the line and several frigates had arrived at the Havannah from Old Spain.
FREDERICK-TOWN September 23.
THE Commander in Chief feels it incumbent on him on this Occasion, to present on the part of the state whose Character, Peace, and Security were so lately endangered and for himself, his warmest Acknowledgement to all the Officers and Soldiers, who have given their Services under his Requisition; and who by so doing have not only effected the Restoration of order and Safety in their own state, but have given a material Check to the Views of the Insurgents in Pennsylvania who will despair hereafter of aiding their wretched designs by the Seduction of their Neighbours. Thus conceiving that important Service has been rendered by the Militia serving under his Orders, the Commander in Chief with Congratulations and thanks discharges them from the present Service.

PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 3.
The Address of Governor Mifflin to the Officers of the Militia and Citizens of Lancaster County, does the greatest honor to his head and heart.
The composition is fine; subtle couched in terms that are level to the comprehension of every man, the most refined taste for the truly sublime enacts a seal in the penful—We hazard nothing when we say, it will be read with repeated pleasure after many repetitions—the principles are truly republican—the definitions of legal obligations are strikingly just—they come home to our feelings, and find their counterpart in the harmonious sentiments of every real friend to the peace and honor of the United States. It may be safely affirmed that after this masterly explanation of the nature of law in a republican community, no individual who reads the Address can ever again be in any manner of doubt on the subject.
It is not intended by this short paragraph to characterize this excellent address—it is itself its best eulogium; but the masterly picture which is drawn of the situation of this rising republic, is so honorable to testimony to the truth of those representations, which with enthusiastic panegyric have been dwelt upon in this Gazette, that we do not hesitate to select the passage entire—it must be read with delight by every one who loves our nation.
Let us look back my fellow-citizens but a few years, scarcely more than the term allotted for the life of an individual and we shall at once be astonished at the prosperity of our country, and ashamed at the ingratitude of any popular discontent. It is but little more than a century, since our ancestors formed the enterprise of settling in America; and some have but just quitted this worldly scene, who remember when our capital, was distinguished only by a few Indian huts, and our best cultivated farms were a wilderness. Our fathers were compelled to constant labor and exposed to constant danger. The hope of transmitting affluence and tranquility to their posterity was their greatest consolation; and mark with what a quick, with how great a transition, it is realized. Scarce an Indian inhabits within our territory; the comforts of life flow in a abundance through all the channels that industry can invent; our agriculture commerce and mechanics, already rival the ancient establishments of Europe; our attainments in the arts and sciences are celebrated throughout the world; in questions of religion we have given the first example of universal toleration; and as a government the American Republic stands unrivaled by any ancient, or modern, political fabric. In such a situation to be made the sport of lawless fury? What can the most visionary character expect to in a change? Is not every man that is not, safe; is not every man that is industrious, comfortable? These questions are the touchstone of social happiness; and in no other country but ours, can they at this time be fairly answered in the affirmative.

CAMP, ON CARLISLE COMMS September 29th, 17
The Commanding Officer of the 1st Troop of Philadelphia Light Horse feels himself bound, by duty, as well as inclination, to acknowledge and applaud the conduct of the Troop under his command during the late march. Their strict attention to orders—their decent and gentlemanly deportment towards the inhabitants and that spirit of harmony and accommodation which they uniformly displayed, are by presages of the success which must attend the patriotic cause in which they are engaged—May that noble spirit be ever
continued, as the surest means of obtaining the objects for which we contend—punishment of the guilty violators of the laws of our Country, and submission to them by all deserters of Citizens, in which extend the Peace, Liberty and Safety of the People! JOHN DUNLOP, Captain.
PURSUANT to notice in the public papers of last evening, October 2d, 1794, a number of the citizens of Philadelphia assembled at the City-Hall, to take into consideration the alarming accounts of a contagious disorder, said to prevail at Baltimore, and to devise proper measures to protect the citizens from the effects thereof.
GEORGE LATIMER, Esq., was appointed Chairman. WALTER FRANKLIN, Sec'y. In consequence of the shortness of the notice a smaller number of citizens appearing than was sufficient to authorise any resolutions on the subject, the meeting was adjourned to this afternoon at five o'clock.
A letter from Carlisle dated on Monday last says, "A detachment of the Philadelphia horse are just bringing in several prisoners; one of them is wounded."
If our WESTERN BRETHREN had considered the natural transition from whistling liberty poles to the whipping post, and from burning of houses to cracking of hemp, that the federal army would cost them more real hardship in three days, than the tax upon their favorite beverage could have cost them in twelve generations, it is possible that even the intrepid Brackenridge himself would have been the imprudence of storming Philadelphia, and of pouring the "rage of a forest," upon her obdurate citizens.
It is a rare remark in the mother country, that the minister who begins a foreign war, never keeps his place to the end of it. In the same way, those who raise a tempest of sedition, are commonly overfed in the course of it; and before the axe and the halter can commence their operations, have been murdered or forgotten by their quondam partizans.
Even the virtuous and enlightened patriots who began the great French Revolution, were long since expelled or exterminated, by a succeeding band of reformers. These also have been driven from the political stage by a third party, who in the dawning of the Revolution were almost utterly unknown.
Thus it happens, that when the Charion of reformation begins a race, the horse almost always run away with the driver. Some of the members of a certain assembly, for which we have the highest respect, were distinguished in the last winter session, by objecting to every sort of tax. Accordingly, their neighborhood in the western counties, became the very focus of inflammation. These gentlemen are now training every nerve to quench that conflagration which they so ardently excited. Their efforts are useless, and their admonitions are despised.
Perhaps we ought to say were despised, for the conspirators already begin to distrust each other; and we have no doubt that the rage of a forest is already more than half cool. Phila. Gaz.

NEW-YORK, October 1.
It is remarkable that one article of agreement between Mr. Jay and the Ministry of England, is, that all property and persons taken by either party, pending the negotiation, shall be restored. Does not this article suppose previous orders on the part of the Ministry to take persons and property of the Americans? If so, Governor Simcoe and Lord Dorchester may show instructions under the privy seal for their Speeches and aggressions, the round assertions of Mr. Dundas in the House of Commons notwithstanding.
It must however be admitted as probable, that the hostile intentions of the British ministry were either originally excited or much confirmed by the appearances of a disposition among our citizens to take part with France, immediately on Genet's arrival in America. The encouragement that minister received on his first landing, the hostile acts he performed, in Charleston and other places, the fervid acclamations with which he was received by multitudes of citizens, the addresses presented him and the attachment of Americans to the republican form of government, led the British ministry to believe, what the French ministry said, in Mr. Genet's instrument would doubtless make a common cause with France." This we are assured was the original cause of those hostile dispositions on the part of the British ministry, to which we must attribute the losses and insults we have suffered.
Had the President, whose Constitutional right it is, been permitted solely to manage business with Genet, it is probable we might at least have avoided the British aggressions on our frontiers, though our commerce might have suffered, in the same manner as that of Sweden and Denmark.—It is however very obvious, whatever may be the declarations of the ministry in England, that a war with America was seriously meditated, and if we avoid it, we may thank the good fortune of the French, and the firmness of federal men.
The brig Thomas, Capt. William Augustus Dundas, from Cadiz bound to New-York, was drove ashore the night of the 22d ult. about 6 miles to the westward of Montauk Point, on the South side of Long-Island. The cargo, consisting of five hundred quarter casks of sherry wine, a quantity of brandy, raisins, figs, anchovies, &c. is likely, in chief part, to be saved.
BOSTON, Sept. 27. Various Important Foreign & Domestic Intelligence.
By an arrival yesterday morning at Marblehead from a Schooner, owned by Col. Orne, in 36 days from Lisbon, we have received the following Intelligence communicated by a gentleman of veracity, who came to town last evening from Marblehead after having spoken with the Capt. who informed him, That a few days previous to his leaving Lisbon, news had been received there that the French had possessed themselves of St Sebastian—had taken and sent into port two British vessels of war cruising in the Bay of Biscay, were pushing forward to Bilboa; and that in consequence of their success the Spaniards were in panic (truck); the merchants at Bilboa were leaving the town with great precipitation—the American vessels were receiving their cargoes on board with great dispatch; and those which had not landed their cargoes were leaving the port without hesitation. He also informs that it was currently told at Lisbon, that the French were equally successful on the frontiers, in the Mediterranean; and were masters of Barcelona. Thus far our advices.
FROM BOURDEAUX—DIRECT. Yesterday arrived here the brig Minerva, Capt. ——, from Bourdeaux, which he left about the 1st August. By this arrival, we have received Paris "National Gazette" to the 27th July. They contain the official particulars of the capture of the fortresses and towns in the Netherlands, which have already been announced in the Centinel. In the National Convention, 1st Thermidor, (July 19) Barrere informed, that at Landrecies, they had taken 91 cannon, which was 26 more than it contained when taken by the combined forces. The highest spirit of animation appears to pervade every part of the French Republic.—Every day the Convention were informed of the most heroic actions, civic sacrifices, and traits of magnanimity. [Translations shall be given in our next.] From verbal accounts, we collect, that the French were victorious in almost every quarter: That no great progress had been made in Spain, but that many Spanish prisoners were taken; and that the sacrifices at the guillotine were as numerous as ever. The harvest in France it was expected would be abundant, though at the time Capt. —— failed, provisions were scarce at Bourdeaux.
Translations from the Paris Papers brought by Capt. Allen, from Bourdeaux.
Brussels, 10th July, 2d year of the Republic one and indivisible.
Richard, Representative of the people, to the army of the North to the Committee of Public Safety.
WE continue to march from success to success. The two armies of the North, the Sambre and the Meuse, yesterday effected their junction at Ath, and are now marching forward; the army of the North continually preserving the left. The enemy appears to retreat towards three points, Anvers, Maestricht, and the Rhine. We shall to-morrow seize on their march in the most certain manner.
I shall go to-morrow in quest of my colleagues Gillet and Guillon, to confer with them. It is late; and I am fatigued—shall write you to-morrow more particular. Signed, RICHARD.

CITIZENS, The junctions of the armies of the North, of the Sambre and the Meuse, is
effected; they arrived together at Brussels; their separation was not a loss; their reunion must produce the most favorable consequences; by pursuing the soldiers of the coalesced tyrants, who, notwithstanding the extreme heat which has been experienced for several days, have proceeded by rapid marches. The magazines they have been obliged to abandon, and are everywhere numerous, and of every kind, numbers of defectors and prisoners are daily arriving. Vive la Republique. Signed, PICHEGREU.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H. Sept. 20. Extract of a letter from the Master of the brig Commerce, one of the Delaware fleet, to his brother in this town, dated Halifax, Sept. 5, 1794.
Agreeably to the old proverb, "A half of a loaf is better than no bread." Yesterday the Commerce, with six other vessels were cleared. The decree of the courts was, that the vessels should be given up to the claimants, they to apply for freight and demurrage to the persons with whom they had contracted, as neither could be allowed them by the court. I cannot inform you what my charges will amount to, not having my accounts collected—the costs of court fall upon me; the captors being exempted from paying any charge attending the suit. Security was sixty pounds currency, five shillings to the Dollar. The vessel is still in the stream, and I believe it will be a considerable time before she will be discharged, as only one vessel can be hauled in at a time and unloaded, as they sell the cargoes in fifty and hundred barrel lots.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2.
At a large and respectable meeting of the freemen of the County of Philadelphia, held at the widow Leith's in Germantown on Thursday the 2d October, for the purpose of forming a ticket for one member of Congress, and a Senator and six Representatives in the State Legislature for the said County, the Rev. W. Smith D. D. in the chair, the following gentlemen were put in nomination by a large majority of votes. viz. Congress, Samuel Miles. Senator Robert Hare. Assembly, Thomas Forrester, Joseph McGuire, Jacob Morgan, Edward Heston, Thomas Denton, Thomas Paul.
Resolved, that the above be published, for the information of the County, and that a copy of the same be sent to our Citizens who have marched to the westward.
Resolved, that Doctor William Smith, and Mr. Thomas Dungan, be a committee to see that the above resolves be executed.
WILLIAM SMITH, Chairman. Attest, ANDREW GEYER, jun. Sec'y.
THE BYSTANDER.
For the last time this season, as the bills have announced, was performed on Wednesday night, The Young Quaker, or, The Fair Philadelphian.—The admirers of dramatic novelty must regret that so excellent a Comedy should be doomed "On musty shelf to sleep," perhaps to give place to many others without half its attractions: It is however hoped that if the Managers have an eye to their own interest, by according with the desire of their numerous well-wishers—frequenters of the Theatre—they will relax a little of this species of severity, by one or more representations ere they quit us, with a farewell address.
The Bystander has already remarked on the performance of this piece—he can add nothing to the merit of the Actors, but it would be a seeming want of duty, as oracle to the public, to omit noticing the painful exertions of Mrs. Hallam, who came boldly forward, though from a most severe cold she could scarcely articulate. How different this conduct from some Theatres
within the Bystander's knowledge, where the bite of a muliquito would have laid up the Heroine of the Tragedy for a month! The audience, ever indulgent, felt the throb of sympathy, and greeted her with universal plaudits, and when retiring she looked full of those pleasing sensations, excited by gratitude and "foul sweet'ning praise."
The PADLOCK was given as an after-piece, probably to introduce a new candidate.—Mr. Nelson, in Leander, is not the best of figures, but his singing proved that he possessed good musical talents; he must not take it amiss that the Bystander notices the pally in his head—if it is a natural affliction the writer begs his pardon.
Mr. Wools was welcomed in Don Diego; this veteran of the Theatre performed with all the jealousy and spirit of the old Spanish Don, and if a presumption may be hazarded, it seems as if it was his favorite character.
Mrs. Hamilton in Ursula, was anything but Ursula. Mrs. Hodgkinson in Leonora, was every thing in Leonora.
Errata—In the Bystander of the 1st instant, from an interlineation in the manuscript—instead of "Prigmore in Crop looked divertingly ridiculous"—read "Primore in Crop was respectable, and Mr. Martin in Endless looked divertingly ridiculous, &c. &c."
We hear that on the arrival of the federal troops at Carlisle—it was proposed to cut down the anarchy pole lately erected there—but, the citizens of that place requested it might remain, till the persons who had erected it should be taken—that they might be compelled to cut it down with their own hands.
An unfortunate casualty happened at Carlisle since the arrival of the troops there—a person was taken into custody thro' mistake—& by the accidental discharge of a pistol was shot thro' the groin and died.
From a New-York paper. And 'twitch the world with Goatmanship.
THE Public are hereby informed, that as the race between the Ass and the Goat caused so much diversion in Greenwich lane some days ago—they are to run at the request of the citizens of New-York on Wednesday the first of October, for a purse of 500 dollars by subscription & to start precisely at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. As there is no jostling to be allowed, it is expected there will be much diversion. The owners of said Ass and Goat beg to be excused for not publishing sooner, as it was prevented on account of the indisposition of the Ass.
A Pilot arrived here this morning informs, that on Tuesday last he saw a brig coming to Cape May in a gale of wind—Yesterday evening he saw a ship ashore of him this side of New Castle which he supposes to be the Happy Return.
A Stated Meeting of the Pennsylvania Society for promoting the abolition of slavery &c. &c. will be held, at the usual place on second day next the 6th Instant, at 6 o'clock in the Evening. 10 mo. 2d 1794.

FROM realm to realm, with crests or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep awaries, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe.
Dozens many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish howls aloud, and fetters clank: To caves bespread with many a mould'ring bone,
And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And murmur'ing demons hate him, and admire.

SEDITIONS PRACTICES.
“OF the many remarkable trials which the present extraordinary system of crimi- nal jurisprudence in G. Britain and Ireland has brought before the public eye; this, certainly is most entitled to universal per- usal and attention. It develops, more fully than any publication extant, the lat- est views and objects of the British conven- tion; and proves incontrovertibly, that judi- cial prosecutions for sedition and de- fences are now more the result of the pre- sent order of things, than any old fashion- ed attachment to the laws or the constitu- tion. Add to this, that it holds up to the wonder and admiration of mankind, the firm, manly, and patriotic conduct of this devoted victim—this 'Second Sydney,' as he has justly and deservedly been called; who in the course of one of the longest tri- als we know of, unassailed even by a single member of the long robe, evinced such a depth of legal and constitutional know- ledge and, in a speech of four hours length, displayed such a blaze of eloquence and first rate abilities, as astonished the court—and, strange to relate! even drew involuntary applause from the venal and time-serving creature of a corrupt go- vernment.”
