BOOKS, PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Mathew Carey, No. 118, Market Street, 1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs. Rowson, of the New-Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Review, April 1793, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than to a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is en- trusted from the governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the incon- stancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend. The situations are artful and af- fecting; the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed. 2. The Inquisitor—By Mrs. Rowson. Se- cond Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents 3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper— 1 dollar and 75 cents, fine. 4. Notes on the State of Virginia—By Tho- mas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and a half. 5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen, and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars. EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have preferred to affix to their title the epithet Inquisitor ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whosoever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colour. It is was necessary to make a declaration of their own prin- ciples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—they love liberty as Eng- lish whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are
well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to all zealots of either party. But when time shall diffuse the clouds of political decep- tion, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive. EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 22.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, December 4, 1794.
Motion for a vote of thanks to General Wayne and the army under his command.
Mr. W. SMITH wished to make his promised motion, which he prefaced by observing that he had varied it at the request of several gentlemen. In the original motion he had particularly noticed the diligence of the General in disciplining his army to the nature of the service in which they were engaged, and his fortitude and perseverance in encountering the difficulties which opposed his march thro' a wilderness.
Tho' he and many others were ready to acknowledge in the fullest manner the merits of the General in those important particulars, yet as they were not matters of general notoriety, and as unanimity on an occasion like the present was extremely desirable, he had now confined the motion to the brilliant action of the 20th August.
Mr. Smith was ready to admit that there was no precedent on their journals for a vote of thanks to the army; but it was not to be thence inferred that the measure was improper: unfortunately no success had occurred since the establishment of the present government which called for this testimony of public gratitude.
There were indeed on the journals votes of thanks to the Speakers of the House, and there was a vote, on the death of Dr. Franklin, expressive of his services, both of which cases might be considered as bearing some analogy to the present, tho' not precisely similar.
Under the former government innumerable circumstances might be quoted. With respect to the practice in itself, he had no doubt of its propriety. He considered this kind of remuneration as a just and merited reward for past services and an honorable excitement to future exertions. Those who performed them were, in his opinion, entitled to the gratitude of their fellow-citizens, which could be no otherwise publicly expressed than thro' their constitutional organ, the representatives of the people. When they had this claim, to withhold that public expression was to be unjust. Satisfied then as he was, that General Wayne and the army under his command had deserved well of their country, had performed signal and splendid services, from which he anticipated very important advantages, he could not suppress this vote of applause.
He was aware it might be said the House had already in their answer to the President's speech bore ample testimony to the good conduct of the army and that it was unnecessary to go farther; but that was only a communication between the House and the President, and was not addressed to the army: a vote of thanks would be formally transmitted to the army, would be considered as an expression of the sensibility of the House, and would, he was persuaded, be highly gratifying to the gallant General and his brave army. Mr. Smith said he felt a peculiar pleasure in making this motion, as he had on a former occasion found it his duty to make the motion which declared the vacancy of General Wayne's seat in that House, a circumstance which had given him considerable pain at the time, but which had proved a fortunate event, as an opportunity was thereby afforded the General of serving his country in the field.
Mr. Smith concluded with saying, that as he had no doubt the services of the army had made the same impression on the House as they had on him, he trusted the motion he was about to make would be honored with an unanimous vote. He then moved the three resolutions—(see Saturday's Gazette.)
Mr. Giles forefaw many bad consequences that might ensue from the practice of giving opinions of men. One part of the House might be for a vote of thanks, and the other against it. He should vote for the proposition, but wished that some mode might be adopted for expressing the general opinion of the house against the practice.
Mr. Kittera was for restoring the clause respecting the vigilance of Gen. Wayne in attending to the discipline of his troops.
Mr. Hillhouse hoped that the resolutions would not be adopted. He should go farther than the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Giles) and vote against them. The house, in their answer to the President, had expressed their approbation, and that was enough. It was not the business of that House, but of the executive, to express such things. Mr. Hillhouse had voted most cordially
for that part of the address respecting the Western army. The answer to the Speech of the President would always afford a good opportunity of conveying these kind of matters. It would immediately become necessary to give thanks in every case; and not to give them will be regarded as an implied censure. He trusted that the gentleman would withdraw his motion, and that the house in this way would get rid of it. He had, and he repeated it again, a high sense of the merit of the officers and soldiers of the army under General Wayne, but he had said so already in the address to the President. It had been urged, as a precedent for this measure, that it was usual to thank the Speaker. This was a mere ceremony. He wished that it had never come into practice, but since it had been so, he should always agree to the vote of thanks.
Mr. Murray thought that we might trust that the House would always have too much prudence to abuse their thanks, by giving them improperly. By way of precedent, Mr. Murray read a vote of the State of Virginia, thanking Gov. Lee for his conduct in the western insurrection.
Mr. Nicholas approved highly of the conduct of the troops, but it was only an act of duty. If we send soldiers against the Indians it is supposed that they will stand to their posts, otherwise the government cannot be supported even for a month.
Mr. Hillhouse saw no business which the house had with the proceedings in the state of Virginia. It had been hinted, that the army under General Wayne might feel disagreeably if the resolution should be rejected. With that Mr. Hillhouse had no business, he acted on principles, without regarding the feelings of individuals.
Mr. W. Smith agreed with gentlemen that the principal object of the house was to legislate; but it did not follow that they were to be confined merely to legislation. Every legislative body exercised the right of opinion, in cases where no act was to follow. This house has frequently exercised it; the answers to the President's speech—the answer to the King of the French on his acceptance of the constitution of 91, the opinion of the house on the merits of that constitution, the vote respecting Benjamin Franklin—the vote of last Session, in reply to a letter from the Committee of Public Safety of France, the votes of thanks to the Speakers—were precedents on the Journals which refuted a contrary doctrine. It had been said that the latter case was a mere matter of form; Mr. S. thought differently, and if ever he was in that house when a vote of thanks should be proposed to a Speaker who had no claim to it, he should feel it his duty to oppose it.—Gentlemen apprehended that this practice might lead to innumerable difficulties hereafter. But every house would exercise its judgment and discretion; members would not be so rash as to propose the thanks of the house where serious opposition was expected, nor would the thanks be voted unless well merited. He was unwilling as any member to make the thanks of the house two cheap, but all must confess that if ever there was an occasion where they were properly called for, this was one. To deny the right or expediency of the practice was in fact to strip the house of one of its most agreeable functions, that of expressing its gratitude.
It had been advanced as an objection that the two houses might differ; one might vote thanks and the other censure in the same case; but that might happen in other cases where the propriety of expressing an opinion was admitted; in answering the President's speech, in the state Legislatures where thanks were frequently voted, the two branches might differ: that was never deemed an objection to the practice; each house expressed its individual opinion.
Mr. Smith said if the house had been sitting in September last when the account arrived of this victory, would the members have then felt as coldly as they now do? No—he was convinced that in the moment of joy and gratitude they would have unanimously voted thanks to the army without the least hesitation; but they have since had time to cool and the impression is worn away.
Gentlemen should consider the hard services of that army, how badly paid they were, the nature of the country they were in, and then determine whether the brilliant action of the 20th August is to go unrequited? To appreciate truly the merits of that army in obtaining so signal a victory, let the House reflect on the consequences of a defeat: the army disbanded and broken up, the frontier exposed to the feroci-
ous savages, the combination of the tribes more cemented and formidable, an expensive, long and bloody war: what is now our prospect? the frontiers protected, the combination of the tribes dissolved, and peace with them all a probable event.
Before, therefore, the motion which he had made could be got rid of, it was incumbent on the gentlemen on the other side to show either that it was improper in any case whatever to pass a vote of thanks, or that this was not a case entitled to them; to do the first they must establish, in the face of precedents innumerable, a doctrine destructive of one of the most amiable privileges of the house; to do the last they must express a sentiment which would, he was persuaded, be repugnant to the sentiments of all their constituents, for throughout the United States there was but one opinion on this subject, and that was in unison with the motion.—Having made the motion after due deliberation, he certainly should not withdraw it, but would submit it to the good sense of the house.
Mr. Coit moved the previous question. He thought the practice of dangerous consequence. It might produce much uncomfortable proceeding in that house. He was seconded by a number of members.
Mr. Parker felt the highest esteem for the services of the western army. He was intimate both with Gen. Wayne and Gen. Scott; but he disapproved of the practice upon principles. It was wrong in Mr. Murray to quote the proceedings in the Legislature of Virginia, where the Governor was in authority, a mere cypher, because the two cases did not apply. The federal government was on a quite different footing, a mixture of monarchy, of aristocracy, and of democracy. The President represented the monarchical part. It was his business to give thanks, if requisite. If he himself was an officer in that army, Mr. Parker said that he should be satisfied by the first thanks, those in the answer to the President. He would be hurt by the second as unconstitutional. What if, in the mean time, General Wayne and his army may have committed some error, that requires an enquiry, and the House are to go into it, with this vote of thanks staring them in their face ! It had been said by Mr. Smith, that if we had been sitting in September, when this news arrived, a vote of thanks would have been passed immediately and unanimously. "I believe no such thing," said Mr. Parker. "We should have recommended such a step to the President."
Mr. Giles said, that, if there ever could have been any doubt as to the propriety of the resolution, that was now removed. (Alluding to the speech of Mr. Parker,) he thought that the gentleman (Mr. Coit) who moved the previous question, had acted from the best motives. Two gentlemen (We believe Mr. Giles referred to Mr. Sedgwick and Mr. Ames) had recommended an appeal to feeling system. We are sent here to reason. A gentleman (Mr. Sedgwick) says that he has feelings which he cannot express. Let him strive to express them. It is not expected that a member is to express all that he may feel on every subject.

NATIONAL CONVENTION. October 6.
NEWS FROM THE ARMIES.
Carnot in the name of the Committee of Public Safety made the following report:
CITIZENS,
A splendid victory has just now covered the army of the Sambre and the Meuse with glory. The enemy, entrenched on the banks of the Roer, and protected by the fortresses of Juliers, was totally defeated; and the fortresses of Juliers is taken.
This event is the most important of all those which have happened during the course of this campaign, without even excepting the battle of Fleurus.
Maastricht has now lost all hopes of being relieved: a stand for our armies near the banks of the Rhine is assured; the enemy is exiled to the other side of that river; the road to Holland is opened; our winter quarters are protected; and we are masters of all the resources, which the provinces of Limburg, Cologne, Treves, Luxemburgh and Juliers offer.
The enterprize was also the most difficult ever undertaken: the enemy had rallied all their forces; their army amounted to 80,000 men; all the advantages of art and nature, were on their side; but we had the advantage of courage, confidence and remembrance of our glorious exploits: And what are the obstacles of nature and art, in comparison to the genius of Liberty and the love of our country!
Citizens, all our exterior enemies are humbled, and flying; the armies were consequently the first, in accomplishing their task; it belongs now to us, to ac-
complish ours; for our warriors have imposed on us the duty, to crush the internal enemies of the Republic.
Citizens, triumphant armies obey your voice; and should a few intriguers be suffered to dictate laws in the hall of the Convention? No! it is time that the national representation should seize with its gigantic arms all the factions; that it should reduce the factions to their nullity, by dashing them against each other; it is time at last to announce, that the Convention will be the depository of the rights of the people, and annihilate those who shall dare to put their hypocritical or furious hands on the Ark of the Revolution.

Dear Colleagues,
I delayed, to this moment, sending you an account of the latter successes of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, because I wished to announce to you at the same time a victory, the capture of a fortified town, of a citadel, of 60 pieces of artillery, of a great quantity of powder and ammunition.
You saw, by my last dispatches that the Austrian army defeated on the 13th and 20th Sept. in detail, at Sprimont and Clermont, had rallied in mass on the river Roer, and consisted of between 60 and 80 thousand men. On the 22d September we took Aix-la-Chapelle, and our army encamped in the plain of Aldenhoven; its left wing supported on the Worm, and the right wing extended to Schwiller, on the Dente.
The design of the enemy was to defend the passage over the Roer, and to effect a communication with Maastricht a strong detachment of the Austrian army was, to that effect, posted on the left bank of the Roer, and occupied the famous position behind Aldenhoven and before Juliers, which, already strong by nature, was besides fortified with a chain of redoubts, and almost impregnable in all its points.
We were determined to pursue our successes, and Jourdan resolved to force the last encroachments of the enemy. To ensure success, it was necessary to have recourse to one of those skilful and bold manoeuvres, which, if executed by experienced officers and intrepid soldiers render always the greatest enterprizes possible; for, the Roer, though fordable in many places, was swollen by the rain, which fell since ten days. Besides all the fords were rendered impracticable and thick set with chevaux de frise; the bridges were broken down and the heights extending on the right bank of the Roer, from its spring to Roermonde, were covered with fortified lines and redoubts, defended by a formidable artillery.
Jourdan divided the army in four corps; he gave the command of the right wing to general Scherer; the direction of the left wing to general Klieber; general Le Fevre was ordered to put himself at the head of the advanced guard, and Jourdan reserved for himself the centre which formed the main force of the army. The generals, Harty, Morlon, Championet and Dubois were under his orders. General Scherer was ordered to force the passage of Dueren; Klieber to direct the march of his column towards Reinberg, and the advanced guard to attack Linnich, whilst the main force should be occupied in sweeping away the camp before Juliers.
Yesterday at 5 o'clock all the columns began their march: the different corps attacked with equal courage; the camp of Juliers was forced and all the redoubts were taken with an intrepidity without example and in less than two hours.
The cavalry of the enemy appeared, to cover their retreat; but they were charged, routed, and pursued to the glacis of Juliers, and owed, as well as the rest of the Austrian army, their safety to the artillery of the fortresses, which prevented us from exterminating them at once. The 8th and 14th regiments of dragoons distinguished themselves particularly in this engagement.
The other columns were equally successful; but they met with difficulties of another kind. When the advanced guard appeared before Linnich, the enemy had destroyed the bridge and set fire to the town; all the passages being rendered impracticable, our republicans were obliged to brave a terrible fire of small arms and artillery, while they were occupied in re-establishing the bridges. Our artillery began now to thunder and in this, as well as in every former occasion proved its superiority over that of the enemy, who were forced to abandon their redoubts, and to retreat.
The passage over the river could however not be entirely effected, because it was found impossible to build the bridges before night. All was prepared to cross the Roer this morning, when after the fall of a thick fog we
discovered on the other bank of the river the enemy in full flight.
Several redoubts were raised during the night before Juliers, we established immediately a battery of howitzers, which begun to bombard the fortresses with considerable effect, when the white flag was hung out in the citadel. A deputation of the magistrates offered us the key of the town, which had been evacuated during the night, and the fortresses surrendered at discretion.
The 2d of October will be a memorable day for the armies of the Republic; an army of between 60 and 80 thousand men defeated notwithstanding the most formidable position; a place, stronger than Landrecies, evacuated, tho' it was besides defended by a good citadel, and fosses, filled with water; a fortress conquered, without striking a blow, with all its artillery, a well provided arsenal and more than 500 quintals of powder: these dear colleagues, are the fruits of that splendid victory.
The loss of the enemy is immense. The fields on the left bank of the Roer to the fortified lines are covered with dead bodies: this and every circumstance, we observed this morning give striking proofs of the precipitate retreat of the Austrians.
Every object on the road to Cologne, bears the mark of the most complete defeat. Several columns of cavalry, flying artillery, and grenadiers are in pursuit of the enemy; and in this very moment I receive intelligence, that general Dubois at the head of 6 regiments of cavalry, has reached the baggage of the enemy on the road to Cologne, and made about 200 prisoners.
I cannot mention all the traits of heroism and courage displayed during the battle; else I would be obliged to write down the names of all the corps, of all the generals, of every officer and soldier; for all have fought like heroes.
I shall only cite two particularly remarkable actions. The first happened in the corps commanded by general Klieber. Those brave warriors, impatient to delay the attack, for the want of a bridge, plunged into the water, crossed the river, attacked the retrenchments of the enemy, and took them with the bayonet and sword in hand. The second action covers two squadrons of chasseurs commanded by general Hautpont with glory; they met with four squadrons of Austrian hussars, charged them, without considering their number, and drove them into the river. Almost all the hussars were taken, cut to pieces, or drowned.
Health & Fraternity. H. GILLET.
Jourdan commander in chief of the army of Sambre and Meuse to the Citizens representatives composing the committee of public safety.
Head-quarters, Juliers October 3.
The army marched yesterday to the banks of the Roer, in order to attack the enemy. The right wing was directed against Dueren, the centre against Juliers, one division against Linnich, and the left wing against Huisberg and Randerath.
All the troops, the enemy had posted on the left bank of the river were soon routed by a vigorous attack of the Republicans.
The right and left wing attacked in those points where the army wanted to effect a passage over the river, and notwithstanding the redoubts and enormous entrenchments all the posts were forced; the republicans, braving the most heavy fire of the enemy, built up new bridges; some who were more impatient swam over the river.
The centre charged the Austrian cavalry, till within musket shot of the fort of Juliers, the fire of which alone could save them from being cut to pieces. Night terminated the battle and we were prepared this morning to make use of our newly constructed bridges by recommencing the conflict; but the enemy did not think it advisable, to wait for us; they set off at midnight; a thick fog concealed their retreat till 8 o'clock.
We took advantage of the darkness of the night & established a battery of howitzers before Juliers; as soon as the fog permitted us to discover the place, we threw some shells in the fortresses. The magistrates came immediately to deliver the keys and announced us the evacuation of that place; which we found in the best condition: we found 60 pieces of cannon, a well provided arsenal, and different other articles the specification of which I have not received yet.
The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded amounts to about 4 or five thousand men; between 7 and 8 hundred prisoners; a great many horses, and defectors. Our cavalry pursues the enemy.—In the evening I shall receive news of their exploits I do not doubt but the representative of the people, Gillet, will give you a detailed account concerning the behaviour of the troops.
This very moment I am informed, that 500 quintals of powder were found at Juliers.
Health and Fraternity. Signed JOURBAN.

Decree. The National Convention declared that the army of the Sambre and the Meuse does not cease to deserve well of the Republic.
The news of the victory gained by the French troops near the walls of Juliers, shall be sent by the extraordinary Couriers to all the armies of the Republic.
The dispatches received from the army of Sambre and Meuse, as also the report of the Committee of Public Safety shall be inserted in the Bulletin.
VIENNA, Sept. 26.
Letters, and particularly the official accounts from Warsaw, of the 9th inst.—give the most ample details of the circumstances attending the retreat of the Prussians on the night between the 5th and 6th.
Various causes contributed to this retreat. The insurgents in Great Poland not only cut off the supplies of provisions and ammunition from the army of his Prussian Majesty, but also cut off the communication between the other parts of his dominions and his camp, in the environs of which the Poles demolished all the streets, attempted to entrap the Prussians in a number of Grand abats, which the rubbish enabled them to form.
In the pursuit, the Prussians were miserably slaughtered; the streets through which they passed were covered with the carcasses of men and horses.
The enraged Prussians fled like mad dogs, destroying in their way, all the houses of the peasants; so that the places through which they passed are as dreary as a desert.
In their march to Great Poland, they have but a melancholy prospect of penetrating into the country, the insurgents having carried off all the magazines and arsenals, and occupied all the strong places in force, and are firmly determined to oppose them.
If the Warsaw papers do not overcharge their accounts, the King of Prussia is in great danger of being cut off with his whole army.
The insurgents have also possessed themselves of Posen, a city with a fortified castle, which is the centre of the Government of the Province.
LEYDEN, Oct. 6.
The attack on Bois le Duc is continued—for some days the fire has been very warm in that quarter, particularly, as we are told from that place itself, which was endeavouring to prevent the besiegers from erecting batteries on the side of Fort D'Orthen, of which they have made themselves masters. In order to augment the forces intended for the defence of Gueldres, we learn that the garrisons are to be withdrawn from Hult, and all the other places of Dutch Flanders.
The surrender of Fort Crevecoeur having given room to complaints against Col. Tibot, the Commandant, his conduct will be enquired into by a council of war, on the express requisition of the States General.
The total want of discipline among the British troops has excited remonstrances as doleful as universal, the commander in chief has issued, from his head quarters at Groesbeck, a general order, dated September 2, to recall the officers and soldiers to their duty. It is hoped that this publication and some examples of the just severity which it announces, will at length repress such disorder.
ROTTERDAM, October 7.
We were yesterday much alarmed by several letters from Emmick and Cleves, which contained the disagreeable intelligence, that the grand Austrian army, under the orders of General Clairfayt, had again been defeated by the French, and had been obliged to retreat to Cologne. We have likewise received the disagreeable intelligence, that the French have crossed the Meuse, between Venlo and Ruremonde, and obliged the duke of York to leave his former position, and to fall back towards the province of Utrecht. This much seems to be certain, that the British army has made a retrograde movement towards the province of Holland, and that the head-quarters of the duke of York are to be transferred to Kuylenburg. The 88th regiment of foot, as well as the Hessian regiment of Kofpoth, which are at present in garrison at Bergen-op-Zoom, have received orders to join the army; but the 87th regiment remains in that fortress, the present governor of which is General Van der Duin, brother to the gallant defender of Sluys. The Dutch army has not yet changed its former position; and it is to be reinforced by the greatest part of the troops which have hitherto remained in Dutch Flanders. In the environs of Breda and Bergen-op-Zoom, small parties are still suffered to desolate the country, but are far too insignificant to undertake anything against those towns. Bois le Duc continues to destroy the enemies batteries near Orte and Deuteren, as soon as they are erected; and the Republicans have not yet made the least impression upon that place. A letter from Cologne, of the third instant, contains the important intelligence, that two members of the French Convention, Bentabole and Lavasseur, have lately arrived in the headquarters of General Clairfayt, and from
thence set out for Vienna. People, who incline to flatter themselves with the hopes of a speedy conclusion of peace, give implicit credit to this unexpected piece of information; but, from a variety of circumstances, which concur to render it highly improbable, I doubt the intelligence. The French army of the North, is said, by means of the telegraphe, to have received intelligence that, on the 25th ult. the important fortress of Bellegarde, near Perpignan, had surrendered to the Republicans.
LONDON, October 9.
The Tutor of a respectable Latin School in the neighbourhood of the Metropolis, has been dismissed his situation, for applying the Birch to one of our infant Lieutenants-Colonels in the army, who neglected his exercise to play at marbles!
October 11.
Yesterday, a messenger was sent off to Edinburgh from the Duke of Portland's office, with his majesty's most gracious pardon if part of the sentence pronounced upon Watt & Downie. Instead of being hanged by the neck, but not till they are dead, &c. &c. they are to be hanged till they are dead, their heads severed from their bodies and exposed to public view.
It has been said that in consequence of the Prince of Wales's intended marriage with the Princess of Brunswick, the Duke of Brunswick, her father, is once more to take the command of the Allied armies, and that the Duke of York has signified his readiness to serve under him. The duke of Brunswick had the command in chief the first campaign, and the last may, perhaps, now be to fight all the commanders over again, and then Da Capo . We do not hear that the French have yet proposed recalling Dumourier , their commander in chief for the first campaign.
It is very confidently said, that the last resource of the Dutch for defence, viz. the grand inundation, has been debated, and that many of the towns have positively objected to it, as more ruinous than an inundation of Sans-Culottes.
The accounts from Poland become daily more alarming to the plunderers of that fair country.—The insurrection not only gains ground in the provinces lately disembarked, but has found its way into Galicia, Livonia, and Lithuania.
The principle of taxing places and pensions for the support of the war has already spread from Spain to Germany. Our Ministers and their adherents are all in a state of the utmost alarm.
October 13.
Yesterday a messenger brought dispatches to government, from his royal highness the duke of York, dated headquarters at Groesbeck, 7th inst. The Dutch mail, due on Friday last, also arrived. The one due this morning has not yet come in.
The principal intelligence, brought by the messenger and the mail, is, that the unfortunate gen. Clairfayt, who after his defeat in the neighbourhood of Liege, about four weeks ago, had taken up a good position on the banks of the Roer, as to make him even with the enemy might assail him, has been again attacked by the enemy, and sustained a fresh defeat. The accounts, so far as the particulars are yet known, state, that on the 11th inst. the French crossed the Meuse and the Roer, and attacked all the posts of the Austrian army, from Ruremonde down to Juliers and Duren. These posts were defended with great bravery and skill; but were at length carried by the masses sent forth by the convention, who were every where victorious. The Austrians in consequence were forced to cross the Rhine, near Cologne, with the loss of more than 5000 men—some accounts say almost twice that number, with a great part of their artillery and baggage: so that the French are masters of almost the whole territories on the west side of the Rhine, which may now be considered as their eastern boundary.
Their next attempt will be against the fortress of Luxembourg—Maastricht is already completely invested, and all communication with that place may now be considered as entirely cut off; for they have been transferring to that quarter the greater part of the force which they had in the neighbourhood of Venlo and Ruremonde. There is some hope, however, that both Luxembourg and Maastricht will be able to stand out against all their attempts. The former can hardly be besieged regularly, and can only be reduced by famine; the latter is defended by a garrison of 13,000 men, under the orders of gen. Kray, a very experienced and brave officer.
PORTSMOUTH, October 9.

PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 9.
In the sitting of the 27th August last, the National Convention decreed, that in future no person should be admitted into the Hall, but the Deputies and Clerks.
Altho' the last arrival from Europe contains no intelligence of the capture of either Rotterdam or Amsterdam—yet such have been the successes of the French that the allied powers according to every appearance will very soon be compelled to offer the National Convention a Carte Blanche with respect to Holland, if not every other part of their dominions.
By the Proclamation of Governor Stone of the State of Maryland it appears that George Dent, Gabriel Duvall, Jeremiah Crabb, Thomas Sprigg, Samuel Smith, Gabriel Christie, William Hindman, and William Vans Murray, Esquires, are duly elected representatives of that State, in the Congress of the United States.
In Saturday's paper it was stated that the Printers to the Legislature of this state were the same as were appointed by their predecessors. We since learn that Mr. David Hall, and Messrs.

NEW-YORK, December 6.
It is remarkable that the events of almost every day are encomiums on the wisdom, prudence and temperate policy of the Executive and his federal supporters. The President resisted the efforts of base men to plunge us into war—his policy is crowned with success.
When it was known that the President had by his advice, put a stop to the projected settlement at Presqu'Isle, the ant federal papers denounced him for his interference—Democratical wiseacres, who knew nothing of his motives, railed at the man and his measures.—Now it appears that the prosecution of that business would certainly have involved us in war with the Six Nations. The President knew this—he had the best means of knowledge—he delayed—he treated—and the issue is a settled peace with the Indians, and the acquirement of a full right and title to the territory in dispute, with the free privilege of passing thro' their country.
In this case as in the plan of negotiating with the English Court, the policy of the government has proved sound and just—and every even has served to confound the rashness, the passion and the ignorance of our self-made and self-named patriots. Yet at this moment, opposition lists its head and demands that we put men into office who have fought against public measures, and to put out of office the federal patriots, the real patriots, who have preferred and secured peace to those noisy unfederal men, in spite of their teeth.

Distant Subscribers
For the GAZETTE, are hereby respectfully requested to pay their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Subscription by paying Six Months in Advance, as declining to take the Paper any longer.
As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delinquent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may respectively be indebted to the sum, are individually trifling—the want of the Aggregate is severely felt.
To the Public.
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 retold 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 spread thereon, 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 can and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine the Works; for the reasons, 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.
