FROM THE EAGLE.
VIGIL, No. 2.
Physician Heal Thyself.
THIS text, the evening after I had sent my first number to the Eagle, rose to recollection, as I lay on my matras, in musing mood, and has haunted me ever since. Physician, heal thyself. Thus, though once used very dingly-ously by a parcel of cavilling bigots, yet nevertheless contains an important precept. It echoed in my mind, till, by the illusions of fancy, it was almost audible in my ears; and I seemed to recognize the Rev. Mr. Hammerdown in the following paragraph!
"Vigil, before you go peeping at the faults and follies of others, survey your own. Do not fall to caning your neighbors for doing what you allow in yourself. Cure your own jaundice, before you administer wormwood to others. Set down, Mr. Vigil, and take a narrow look at your character and practice. Investigate the secrets of your own heart. Develop to your own view your most latent emotions."
"Vigil!" exclaimed the schoolmaster, with a woful scowl upon his face—"Why Vigil is a centinel, a watch, a spy, an evesdropper! He will be lueaking about in the night. He will steal into your bed-rooms. He will aneecdote the attacks of gentlemen upon their cookmaids. In short, whoever shall drink a swallow too much, will see himself advertised for a drunkard."
"Vigil!" answered a pretty damsel, whose lips were mellow and sweet as the honied comb—"Vigil!" repeated she, with a blush that bespoke apprehension and alarm—"And who pray is Vigil? I hope he will not be impudent enough to call me coquette."
"Nay—" muttered a bachelor of thirty years and ten, as he sat, playing with a lady's finger—"Nay" said he, lifting her hand to his lips, at once scalding it with his breath and scraping it with his beard—"Maw!"
All seemed to be listening for the close of the speech, expecting the bachelor, after a few more nays and maws, to break forth—What! a spy upon us! Let him meddle with us bachelors, if he dares. What, pick our bones, would he? Yes, villain! but I stand ready to deny whatever he shall insinuate against me, faith!
With such a charge, I say, his mind seemed to be loaded, and ready to fire, when, to our great surprise, grappling the lady with his arms, he gave her such a loving squeeze, as squeezed out the doleful cephonesis, "Murder, Mr. Blank! I think the man is bewitched! Do you intend to jam me to death!"
Such were the tricks of fancy; but here the reverie ended. A found sleep ensued, from which I waked to a train of ideas mottoed verbatim as before—Physician heal thyself.
Perhaps it led me to think, how readily guilt excites fear, and how little the person conscious of rectitude has to dread from the satyrist—or perhaps it led me to consider how much more ready the writer upon men and manners is to depict vices than virtues; or perhaps it brought me to myself. Whichever of these it might be, as there is nothing uncommon in the two former, and nothing in the latter, which concerns the reader, I shall give him no farther information about it.
The physician's business is with the sick, rather than with the well. He deals more in restoratives, than preventatives. Wounds are to be cured, but sometimes cannot without probing. Some must submit even to amputation and trepanning. Notwithstanding the pains of such a process, if life can be saved by it, we thank the surgeon, as a benefactor, although he has taken a fee equal to the reach of his avarice or the stupidity of his conscience.
If the Vigil should chance to observe any disease, and can prescribe a remedy, he will do it cheerfully, and gratis; and, in infesting his prescription followed with success, will enjoy a reward far different from the quack, when driving home the cow of the widow and orphan, a pay for the nostrums, which ended the days of the husband and fire—the reward of which such unsoiled wretches have no conception.
Foreign Intelligence.
From the General Advertiser, from Hamburg papers received by the Lady Walderff.
PARIS, August 6.
In the sitting of the National Convention on the 4th of August Freron proposed, to demolish the Hotel de
Ville of Paris, because it had served as the last retreat to Robespierre; it was however remarked, that it was utterly ridiculous to take vengeance on stones for the crimes committed by men; that the system of destruction was over, and moreover the Hotel de Ville belonged to the city of Paris, whose sections had all deserved well of the country.
In the sitting of the 9th instant, it was decreed, that the arrears of pensions allowed to ci-devant priests and monks should be immediately paid by the respective districts, and that in future all such pensions should be paid without delay every three months.
Cambon proposed to change the name of the committee of public safety for that of central committee of the revolutionary government, because public safety could only be procured by the exertions of the Convention in mass. This motion was received with universal approbation, ordered to be printed and discussed to-morrow.
When the arrestation of Fouquier Teinville was decreed, Freron rose: "all Paris, said he, demands the execution of this man. There is no family, which he did not deprive of one of its members. If the juries were led by the villain Robespierre, what must be the public accuser, to whom the tyrant dictated the charges? It is time for this murderer, intoxicated with the blood he shed, to sleep himself sober again in Hell."
Dumont denounced the painter David, who is now arrested, in the following manner: "Citizens said he, the solemn attitude we have now assumed, does not permit us to suffer, that David, this tyrant of the arts, this vile and despicable wretch, who did not appear in the Convention during the night of the 23th July, may unpunished visit and infect those places where he intended to carry into execution the crimes of his master the tyrant Robespierre. The moment is arrived when all shadows of the villain, of whom Krance is delivered, must disappear. David is not the only one sold to Robespierre. The court of Cromwell is not yet destroyed."
Barrere declared, that he had only to announce the capture of 75 English, Dutch, and Spanish vessels, which the frigates of the Republic had made prizes of; by which means the seaports were abundantly provided with victuals. The frigate la Tardive had besides destroyed six of the enemy's ships.
Barrere announced a new victory obtained by the army of the western Pyrenees on the 24th of July, after an obstinate engagement of three hours, when they made themselves masters of a steep mountain occupied by 800 Spaniards, took 320 of them, killed the rest, and conquered the rich Vale of Baïtan, the pots of Bera, Lefaca, Janey, Echelor, &c.
The Convention heard with surprise, that Hanton, one of Robespierre's agents, had incarcerated more than 10,000 citizens. He was arrested with his servant Baptist.
The latest return of the prisoners of Paris, makes them amount to 7832, not including those in the Conciergerie.
August 8.
Hentz, Bourbotte and Goujon, Representatives of the people near the army of the Moselle and the Rhine sent the following address to the National Convention:
"Citizens,"
"We received your proclamation concerning the late plots discovered at Paris, and have communicated it to the armies. May the heads of all traitors fall! May all tyrants be annihilated! This is the sincere wish of all those who shed their blood in this quarter for their country; this blood does not flow for a few conspirators, but for Liberty, Equality and for the unperishable Republic. May every one perish who aims at the sovereignty, which belongs to the people alone! May those fall a sacrifice to national justice, who will place themselves above equality. This is what we desire with you, and what all triumphing armies will wish for. The many heroes, who fell for Liberty, shall not suffer the dishonor, that the country they have delivered by their courage, be submitted again to the scourge of a tyrant. The events, which happened at Paris, cannot but encrease the zeal of the armies, and heighten the spirits of the soldiers of Liberty, who with nothing more than to exterminate all tyrants."
"Citizens Van der Stegen and Van Lanhendonk are the deputies arrived here from Brussels; they are to demand in the name of all inhabitants the re-union of that city with the French Republic."
Ten waggons loaded with 5 1-2 millions of livres in specie, are already arrived here from Brussels.
Valenciennes has been bombarded since the 23d of July, and the trenches are likewise opened before Conde.
BERLIN, August 12.
Intelligence was yesterday received here, that the Russians had taken Wilna in Lithuania. According to a report it has been taken by storm. In this case it must have cost a great number of men on both sides. No detail is given of the capture of that place, it remains therefore uncertain, in how far this event may contribute, to decide the fate of Warsaw.
The latest letters of Poland bring intelligence, that the Prussian head quarters at Wola, have been removed and fixed at a distance from the Polish intrenchments. A transport of heavy artillery is expected on the 20th and another about the end of August.
However certain it seems, that the Poles won't be able to make a long resistance against the combined forces of Russia: the unexpected delay in military operations occasioned by the backwardness of the Russians, is accompanied by many inconveniences at least disagreeable if not fatal to the Prussian army. Private letters complain not only of the extreme dearth of all necessaries but also of a real scarcity of provisions in the Prussian camp, which suffers also by want of good water. A great number of the Prussian troops died with the dysentery; and the prince of Prussia himself was attacked by this sickness, but he is now recovered.
GRUBLIN, August 8.
The Poles approached yesterday within two miles of this place. The Russians commanded by the heroic Krusalow went out to meet the enemy, but they were forced to retreat. Liebau is occupied by the Poles since the 6th inst.
August 9.
In the engagement of the 7th inst. the brave Lieut. Col. Krusalow was mortally wounded besides one officer and twenty five rank and file taken prisoners by the Poles. They began on the morning of the 8th inst. to cannonade the Russians posted about two miles from Liebau and retake from after their former position. At noon another cannonade commenced on a Russian battery in the neighbourhood of Liebau, and continued till 4 o'clock when the Russians began to retreat in good order; they were pursued by the Poles half way to this town, through which they marched quietly in the evening.
LIVORNO, August 4.
The English men of war arrived here from Bahia. The accounts given by the Captains, corroborate the intelligence, that the English did not accept the capitulation proposed by the garrison of Calvi [in the island Corsica.] The cannonade on both sides began soon after again with the greatest vivacity, and the French seem determined to defend themselves to the last. Famine or a storm, are the only means left, to conquer a place occupied by those desperadoes.
The Neapolitan Escadre commanded by General Forleguerri moored in our road yesterday morning. The stormy weather rendered it impossible, to disembark the troops from on board their transports.
WARSAW, August 7—11.
Extrait from the Gazette of Thoin, on the Vistula.
Warsaw itself has not been bombarded yet. Our army is posted before the city, in four fortified camps, communicating with each other, and commanded by General in chief Kosciusko, Generals Dambrowsky, Zajacek, and Mokrowsky, who has again joined the army. Kosciusko's head quarters are established at Mohatow. He has been reinforced by the brigade of Madelin-sky. The second camp, commanded by Dambrowsky, is established before him at Czerniakow; this corps faces the Russians in and about Villanow. The third corps is posted before Wola, against the Russians, who are in possession of Wola and infest its neighbourhood; the fourth camp, in which Joseph Poniatowsky serves as a volunteer, extends from Powalsk to Marie-mont and Bielany, in order to cover this quarter against the Russians, posted in and about Guree. The intrenchments of Warsaw and the fortifications of the camp are on both flanks covered by the Vistula, and enable the troops to haras the enemy and bombard his camps incessantly, by which many villages occupied by the Russians, and even Wola have been burnt down. A six pounder lately struck the King of Prussia's kitchen tent, without any material damage. Praga [a suburb] on the other side of the Vistula, is entirely free and fortified like Warsaw. A few Russian troops, who appear sometimes in some distant parts of its neighbourhood, are quickly dispersed by the Poles, and
cannot hinder Warsaw from being abundantly provided with all necessaries of life, which are brought from all quarters on the other side of the river, and even from Lithuania.
The Poles took lately all the Pontoons prepared by the Russians for crossing the river Bug, also the pontoneers and soldiers belonging thereto, besides, more than 100 oxen, and sent all to Warlaw.
General Cichotky, who commands a corps on the river Narew and the lower Bug, finding himself too feeble against the Russians in that quarter, has been reinforced by Generals Bielack and Chmelinski, who arrived lately with troops from Lithuania. They have taken the Russian pontoons with them, which will be made use of in crossing the Narew and the Bug.
All is quiet at Warlaw. The patriots seem to be satisfied with the king, who intends to send his last remaining jewels, to the high National Court, as a patriotic gift for public exigencies, especially to forward the cannon foundry. Nothing is known in Warlaw, of an answer said to be given by Kosciusko, to the King, who wished to visit the camp, though it was published in many foreign gazettes. The truth is: it being not permitted to the king himself, to leave Warlaw without a passport, he requested the National Court for one, in order to see Kosciusko's camp: but the High National Court did not find it advisable to allow a passport to the King in such critical times. On the 2d inst. General Zajacek sent in a letter of the King of Prussia to our king, which was brought by a Prussian trumpeter to the camp near Wola. The contents of this letter and the answer to it are not yet known.
LIEBAU, August 8.
(A seaport in the Dutchy of Courland.)
A corps of 12,000 Poles, mostly regulars, with thirty pieces of cannon and two mortars, entered this town on the 6th inst. The Russians were drawn up in order of battle before this place, and tried to dispute the passage, but they were soon overpowered, and pursued with such spirit by the Polish troops, that very few of them escaped by the road to Grublin.
The very moment the Poles took possession of Liebau, a Russian ship arrived; the crew seeing Liebau occupied by the Poles, was hardly able to escape, as the Poles kept up a heavy fire of artillery on them.
Another report mentions that Polangen (on the Baltic sea) is occupied by a corps of 10,000 Poles, which exposes in some degree East-Prussia, and particularly Memel, (a Prussian fortress and harbour.)
LONDON, August 21.
Earl Stanhope does not intend to go into a customary suit of solemn black for the death of Robespierre:
"He has that within which passeth show; These but the trappings and the suit of woe."
The fruitful river of little Cato's eyes began to flow when he read the sad end of his dearly beloved Maximilian. Like Niobe, he was all drowned in tears. He thought it a hard case that a Republican should die on the same scaffold, and by the same instrument which murdered a king.
Paris at present may be compared to Mount Ætna. It contains an immense quantity of combustible matter, which at different periods forces itself out in a dreadful conflagration, and the Convention is the Crater through which the fire bursts forth.
By a letter from a gentleman at Smyrna, the following remarkable circumstance is transmitted:
"In the night of the 5th of last June, the inhabitants of the Island of Tenedos, in Archipelago, were very much alarmed by the several severe shocks of an earthquake. In the morning to their great surprise, they discovered a small island, about half a mile in circumference, emerged from the sea, between them and the Asiatic shore. In the centre was observed a small volcano, out of which issued smoke of a reddish hue. When I heard this extraordinary account, I was determined to be an eye witness of it, and therefore hired a small vessel which soon conveyed me there. I was told that it had increased much since the night it first sprung, and still continued doing the same."
"As the inhabitants are very ignorant and superstitious, they were afraid to venture near it; I therefore set out for the spot with my servant: we tied the boat to a rock, of the new island, and proceeded upon it. I observed branches of coral dispersed upon the island; likewise different sorts of shell-fish. A most wonderful noise proceeded from the volcano, resembling the rumbling of wagons."
ENNIS, (Ireland) Aug. 14.
"On the night of Friday the 8th inst. a number of miscreants headed by one Fitzgerald, broke into a Salt-Water lodge at Kelkee, in the west of this county, where a lady and her daughter, a child of twelve years of age, were for the bene-
fit of the bathing season, and after striking and other vile abusing the mother, feloniously carried away her daughter. They fired a number of shots, on leaving the Lodge, as they proceeded through the country, in order to intimidate those who might be inclined to pursue them; but it had a different effect, as it served to alarm the neighborhood, when a number of gentlemen led on by George Studdard, Esq. our present high Sheriff, (who fortunately happened to be in that part of the country) commenced a spirited and diligent pursuit, through the most unfrequented and intricate parts of the country, until they compelled those villains to abandon the lady, whom they restored to her afflicted parents."
PHILADELPHIA,
OCTOBER 23.
Philad. Oct. 21, 1794.
The Committee appointed by the citizens the 3d inst. to stop the intercourse with Baltimore and its vicinity, on account of a contagious disorder which prevailed there, have reason to believe that the health of the inhabitants of these places is so far restored as to render a continuance of restrictions unnecessary.
It is therefore resolved, that all regulations which have been adopted by this committee, to prevent the intercourse between this city and the town of Baltimore and its vicinity, be discontinued.

Capt. Lake, of the ship Hannah, arrived here on Sunday from Russia, sailed from Elsinour in company with the ship Washington Capt. Stephenson, for Philadelphia, ship William, Pickett; ship Financeir, & ship Minerva, Gardiner, for Boston; the brig Sally, Choate, for Salem.
Left at Cronstadt (August 6.) the ship Genet, Wales, of Boston; Kising Sun, Olney, of Rhode Island; ship —, Capt. Bickerton, and Captain Walters, in a ship, of Boston, and a brig Capt. Clarke.
On the 24th September experienced a heavy gale of wind, wherein the Hannah split her topfalls. On the 27th inst. 44, long, 49, took up a pine chest, painted red on the outside, and a light mahogany within, had a till and two drawers at one end, and three places to contain bottles at the other, and three new clets to support a false bottom.
On the 1st October, in lat. 42, 25, long. 31, spoke the brig William, from St. Sebastians, bound to Wilscasset out 3 days.
The ship George Barclay, Capt. Collet, arrived here from London, sailed from there the 26th August; 12 days after, he spoke the ship Lavinia, Capt. Hodge, from Baltimore bound to Amsterdam, out 40 days, all well. A few days ago, off the Delaware by an English frigate of 28 guns, called the Niger, which had taken an American schooner bound to some part of the West-Indies, and sent her a prize to Halifax, name unknown. The only Philadelphia vessel left at London is the Pigou, Beaty, which would be ready to sail for this port about three weeks after he left that place.
From the American Daily Advertiser.
The following Intelligence was translated from Dutch Papers, received by the Brig Lady Walderff, Capt. Benners, in 51 days from Hamburg.
GENEVA, August 9.
General Dumourier, who hitherto lived on a seat belonging to the Syndicus Cayla, has lately quitted the fame, and is now in Bazil. The report therefore, that he was among those arrested at Geneva, is totally groundless.
FRANKFORD, August 16.
On the 12th inst. the French had a general reconnoitering in the neighborhood of Worms, from the river Rhine quite to the mountains. They were again for a short time in Frankenthal, and surprised a Prussian out post at Klimkarenbach, where they took a lieutenant and some privates prisoners.

They lately sent 100 waggon loads of salt from the Palatine salt-works at Dürkheim to Landau, and have given orders to continue with the utmost expedition in the manufacturing thereof.
According to an official account from the Prussian head quarters at Flonheim, Count Kalkreuth was on the 8th, advanced as far as Gommerfoville, but could not come up faster on account of the continual rains and exceeding bad roads. General Kohler, whom he had pushed forward as far as Mitternich, took 6 officers and about 100 privates prisoners; but the enemy having in the mean time forced the redoubt at Pellingen he marched on the 9th towards Heimeskel, and Kalkreuth towards Stumpfenthum, in order not to be cut off from gaining the road from Treves to Birkenfeld. In this position the Prussian troops remain between the Rhine and the Moselle, from Trarbach to Worms, in order partly to cover the Hundsrück, and partly to observe the further motions of the enemy.
BERLIN, August 19.
Nothing of consequence has happened in the camp before Warlaw. The bombardment of that city has been suspended for a while, because another train of artillery is first expected from Crandetz and Breslaw.
General Gunther, who commands the regiment of Bohniacks, which has distinguished itself by its bravery, took on the 15th inst. from the confederates; 6 pieces of cannon; one howitz, and made 100 men with 8 officers prisoners; and the day following he drowned upwards of 100 men, who attempted to pass the river Narew on a bridge of boats.
According to private accounts, the head-money has been augmented throughout the whole Russian empire, and a tax upon windows has likewise been introduced, according to which they have to pay for each window in Petersburg and Moscow, one rouble or Spanish Dollar, but the other cities pay only one half of this.
THORN, August 16.
The entrenched camp of Kosciuszko before Warlaw consists properly of four camps, whose beginning and end touch upon the Vistula, and from whence they fire very briskly, so much so that one of their six pound balls hit the kitchen tent of the King of Prussia. Kosciuszko himself is in Mokatow, and has Madalinsky with him, and the Generals Dombrowsky, Mokronowsky and Zagazcek, command under him in the camps. Above the river Buz the Poles took from the Russians a whole brigade of pontons and upwards of 100 oxen.
The King's head quarters are at present in Wlochi, a little way from Wida towards Opalin. Great numbers of artillery men arrive daily from Berlin, and likewise great transports of fresh provisions from Breslaw.
The Russian Colonel Tolstoy, who passed through here for the Prussian camp, informs that Prince Repnin is marching 40,000 men, with 80 pieces heavy cannon, from Swonia against Warsaw, and that Count Romanzow is marching another army of 40,000 men into Poland. A report that the Russians had taken Wilna by storm, and with the loss of a great many men on both sides, wants confirmation. Another report that the Turks had made an attack upon Cammieck is totally groundless.
CONSTANTINOPLE, July 19.
All the reports which have been spread respecting the drawing together of the Turkish forces are not confirmed by a single fact; and the negotiations with the Russian Minister concerning the rates of imposts have been settled in an amicable manner. They remain on the old footing, and the Russian subjects are obliged to pay the impost-duties as they were fixed before.
The Grand Signior has prohibited all kind of public solemnities and entertainments of the French, of which the following is the cause. Two merchants lay a considerable time in this port with their national colours concealed. Descoches gained the officers of the port with gold and gave a feast in the midst of the channel, opposite the Metropolis, and caused the colours of the French Republic to be hoisted with great solemnity, both vessels at the same time firing a salute, which was answered from the Turkish vessels. There was a great entertainment on board, where two Polish Noblemen were present as agents from Kosciuszko. The feast being over and the company returning thro' Pera, they met the first interpreter of the Austrian Embassy. A French merchant's clerk insulted him, but the people came to the assistance of the innocent interpreter. Strong patrols maintained order in the night, the Porte
demanded satisfaction and prohibited all new leaks.
HAGUE, August 12.
The States of Holland, who must contribute more than two thirds towards the whole expenses of the war, and the exigencies of the Republic in general, have declared anew, on the 5th inst. that they will sacrifice life and property in the defence of the Republic, and therefore have adopted two new means of finance, having opened (besides the loans of last year and this year, which remain open) a new voluntary and unlimited loan, at 5 per cent. interest, where bullion and manufactured silver and gold will be accepted. The States moreover declare their full expectation that every inhabitant will richly contribute towards it, it being much better to lend one part of one's property to the country in order to save it, than to leave the whole property, yea life itself, to the mercy of the enemy, by rendering the means of defence of the Republic impracticable. The second means of finance is, that every one who holds an office shall pay towards the said loan, within six weeks, a sum equal to what their respective offices were rated in the list of officer revenues in the year 1727. These contributions, which are known by the name of recognitions, may easily produce 10,000,000 of guilders. The contribution of the Great Pensionary, being the first officer of state of the Republic, may amount to 20,000 and that of the first member of the College of Nobles 11,000.
NAPLES July 31.
In consequence of his Majesty's resolution to send some troops to join the combined armies in Lombardy the two regiments of cavalry, the King's and Queen's arrived here on the 22d and 23d inst. from Versa and together with the regiment of the Crown Prince were put on board of 56 transports. The whole fleet made sail on the 23d in the evening for Leghorn, under convoy of three ships of the line of 74 as many frigates of 40, two corvettes and one armed brig.
GENOA, August 2.
Notwithstanding our neutrality, twelve French soldiers attempted to take by force from a Piedmontese carrier some wine on our territory. But the people gathering, two of the French were killed and the rest put to flight.
LEGHORN, August 4.
Yesterday morning the Neapolitan fleet under the command of General Fortogory, came to an anchor in our road, but the stormy weather has prevented any of the troops being put on shore from the transports.
In the engagement between the British ship of war the Romney and the French ship of war the Sybille, the latter was captured by the former, on the deck whereof was the dead body of the commander of the French Division cruising these seas.
ITALY, August 4.
The English at last, took Calvi on the 25th ult., the last place the French were possessed of in the island of Corsica.
In Piedmont the French have advanced again, and possessed themselves of a post occupied by 700 men, who did not make the least resistance.
FRANKFORD, August 16.
The Prince Bishop of Liege informed the Diet at Ragenburg that he had been forced by the most urgent danger for his personal safety, to quit his country on the 20th July, in the evening under a strong escort of the military a number of bold and sedition adventurers having formed the design of seizing on his person as soon as the French should approach.
From the New Brunswick Advertiser.
It may probably be remembered by a number, that about a year since the friends of a certain Mary Canaan who had lost her husband and a child on the western frontier by the hands of the savages, and who was herself made prisoner and detained in bondage, solicited the assistance of the public, that they might be enabled to effect her redemption. The benevolent who generously opened their hands on that occasion will be happy to learn that their contributions have been successfully applied to a valuable purpose. Mary Canaan has returned to the embraces of her friends. For this amazing kindness she desires first to give glory to a compassionate God whose providence has wonderfully appeared for her when all other comforts failed—when a dear husband and a child were slain before her eyes—when she was led captive by unrelenting savages—when suffering in a dreadful wilderness, hunger and all the evils they pleased to inflict. Blessed be the Lord that he has preserved my brother who risked his life for my deliverance, amidst a multitude of dangers, that he has after three years and three months most cruel captivity and suffering restored me to a Christian land where I hope I may never forget to praise his name—They who held out their friendly hands for my benefit when in distress will be pleased to accept my sincere thanks to them as instruments under divine providence in afford-
ing me deliverance and the enjoyment of the greatest temporal blessings.
MAYCANAAN.
October 17, 1794.
From the General Advertiser.
A certain class of papers in the United States have obtained the appellation of British prints. They do not deserve the title: many of the independent British papers would fain pursue the political line of conduct they have adopted. They can be compared to British ministerial prints only, for the same calumnies on the French revolution, the same doctrine of passive obedience and non-resistance are preached by both. The English papers alluded to, it is well known, are only supported by being paid by the government of that country, the good sense and spirit of the nation at large would not prolong their existence a moment if that support was withdrawn. It is only surprising, how among us the advocates of principles so subversive of popular governments find encouragement. There is undue influence somewhere.

IMPORTANT.
Captain Champlin in 41 days from Hamburg informs, that intelligence was received there of the surrender of Valenciennes and the capture of Breda by the French. All communication between Rotterdam and Hamburg was interrupted, as a proof of which, he mentions that two or three Hamburg mails had returned. Merchants in Holland have advised their Correspondents in this city, that all bills drawn on Cargoes unsold will be noted for non-payment.
The following Gentlemen are elected Representatives in Congress for the state of Connecticut.
Jonathan Trumbull, Uriah Tracy, James Hillhouse, Joshua Coit, Roger Griswold, Zephaniah Swift and Chauncy Goodrich Esqrs. Stephen M. Mitchell Esq. has resigned his seat in the Senate, and this day, Tuesday, is assigned for the choice of his successor.
It must give pleasure to all good men and friends of our republican constitution of government, that the Representatives of Connecticut, are all firmly attached to the constitution of the United States; and that no Jacobin in that state dare offer himself a candidate for the suffrages of his fellow-citizens.

SALEM, October 14.
Capt George Hodges arrived here yesterday from St. Lucia, in 30 days. He informs, that the Mulatoes and negroes from the country were attacked by the British, about 15 miles from the town; the Captain and Lieutenant of the British troops were wounded, and a number of soldiers killed. The Mulatoes amount to about 300, and retain their position.

BOSTON, October 16.
RE-CAPTURE OF ST. LUCIA.
A vessel is said to have arrived at Salem, on Tuesday last, in a short passage from St. Lucia, which brings an account, that the French patriots, mulatoes, and negroes, united, have retaken the town, and put all the British and Aristocrats to the sword.
CONFIRMATION.
A letter from Fort Royal, (Martinique) dated September 20, 1794, received last evening, confirms the above report, and adds, that the French privateers are cruising off Fort Royal Bay, and in the Channel of St. Lucia. This happy circumstance for the French took place on the 29th August. This letter further informs, that Captain Chase, in the brig Industry, had arrived at Fort Royal, where his stay would be short—That a proclamation had been published throughout the British Islands, forbidding American vessels coming there after October, till then they are allowed to bring live Stock and Lumber only.

RICHMOND, October 17.
On Friday the 10th inst. departed this life, RICHARD LEE, Esquire, of Lee Hall of Westmoreland county, in the 73d year of his age, 36 of which he was generally a Representative for his county in the state legislature.
His affluency as a chairman of the committee of claims, and economy in disposing of the money of his constituents are well known to the community, but more particularly so to those who had the honor of a seat by him.
The poor have lost in him a charitable friend, and the public a useful member of society.
LONDON, August 1.
To the CONDUCTOR of the TIMES, SIR,
I have long noticed with a mixture of indignation and surprise the too general and glaring instances of imposition practised by a set of harpies, who take houses or parts of houses and set up as Auctioneers, for the purpose only of imposing on the credulous. These practices are well known by most of the inhabitants of London and Westminster under the name of sham auctions. It is unnecessary to point out to you the number of those who have been dupes to these frauds. My sole object is to apprise the unwary, of a practice which loudly calls for a check.
I have been into these houses for half a minute together, and have immediately been called on to bid, or leave the room. Generally six or seven persons procured for the purpose, attend these auctions, and alternately bid for the article put up; if an accidental passenger steps in, the article is presently run up to a great price, and the cry of bid, bid, from the auctioneer, perhaps draws a nod from the stranger, who is persuaded the bargain is good, from the number of advances in the bidding, and it is knocked down to him generally at triple its value. If he threatens to seek redress after paying his money, it is not to be had, for the auctioneer is gone the next day, and his place supplied by another.
I am Yours, &c.

VIENNA, August 13.
The British Lord Keeper of the Seals Lord Spencer, and his companion Mr. Greenville, who arrived here lately, are treated with uncommon distinction. After having had a conference with Baron Thugut and Field Marshal Lacey, they were presented to the Emperor on the 10th inst. at Luxemburg, and yesterday they attended a grand conference of the Ministers of State. It is reported that the object of their mission is to induce the Imperial Court, that they should, jointly with Great Britain, try their utmost efforts to recover the Netherlands, they having orders to offer subsidies for one 100,000 men. The Generals Clairfait, and Ferzy, the Counsellor of State Reul, and some other persons of distinction from the Netherlands, have lately arrived. It is said likewise that Prince Cobourg is to come hither for some time, in order to fix the plan for the further operations. There is likewise a great talk of a journey of the Emperor to Hungary, and of putting the nobility of that country in a state of requisition.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 21.

The republican armies, at the width of near fifty leagues, have advanced twenty leagues into Germany. The returns of the killed, wounded and prisoners in the same space of time, amount to 60,000. One of the French armies has entered Spain and is about ten leagues on the side of Bayonne and Perpignan.
The French have retaken all the towns the Spaniards had taken from them last year, and in Catalonia, Spain, they have also taken several towns.—Valenciennes, Quesnoy and Conde, are blockaded, and have been summoned to surrender at discretion.
The republican army in Italy has been very successful. Several towns of the king of Sardinia have been taken, particularly the famous Saorgio, Ormea, Oneiglia and other forts on the mountain of Montenis. Fontarabia, with upwards of 200 pieces of cannon, St. Sebastian, Liege and Treves are also taken.
* Near this place was fought a famous battle in which the republican army were the victors. The allies left on the field 15,000 men, and a great part of their baggage.

EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still 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 insert 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 discoveries to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, face a register, it is presumed, will soon contain all 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.

Select Stories,
For the instruction and amusement of Youth. 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 simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of what is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing could not, at the same time, the instant Genius is raised and the Heart melted, appear from his works to be so contemptible an object of the mind. Wherefore, 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 volumes, 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.

By JOHN AIKEN, M. D. To which is subjoined an ODE inscribed on John Howard, by William Hayley, Esq. FROM realm to realm, with crofs or crescent crown'd, Where'er mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep swamps, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe. Down many a winding step to dungeons dark, Where angry sighs wail aloud, and fetters clank: To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring bones And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan; —Onward he moves!—Disease and death retire, And murm'ring demons bate him, and admire.

A SUBSCRIPTION
Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book store, No. 116, Market street, Philadelphia,
WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance.
The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's:
 The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual sense of the Ten Commandments.  The Universal Theology of the New Church, which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c.  A summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. 
As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
