CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thursday, November 27, 1794.
Debate on Mr. Dayton's motion to restore the words "self-created societies and," which had been expunged in the address to the President in answer to his Speech.
Mr. RUTHERFORD continued his opposition to the motion—he repeated the substance of his former remarks on the conduct of those who appeared so solicitous to throw an odium on the democratic societies—he contended that too much importance was given to these institutions; they were harmless of themselves, and if let alone would have no more weight in the community than their conduct should entitle them to.
Mr. Baldwin said, he had from the beginning entertained doubts relative to the propriety of going into the business before the house in the minute manner proposed; advertising to the usual process in conducting transactions of this nature he observed, that the present appeared to be a deviation, if not an entire innovation on the usual mode.
It had been asserted that the house had a right to enquire into the causes of the insurrection; let us proceed then as an inquest; let us call for the evidence and lift the business to the bottom; at present he insisted the house was not prepared to judge and decide.
In matters of notoriety, such as that we were enjoying the blessings of peace, when in truth that was the case, or in respect to any other self-evident position that was in itself incontrovertible, he had no objection to an echo of the address to the house—But on an occasion like the present, when there was such a contrariety of opinions, he could not see the propriety of it.
As to democratic societies, there were none, to his knowledge, in the state he represented [Georgia]—but if there were, he should not feel alarmed at the circumstance.
He doubted whether the President meant to include the societies in general, under that denomination—he rather supposed he had reference only to those in the four western counties of Pennsylvania. As a more general idea, Mr. Baldwin said, he preferred the expression combinations of men, &c.
other business of the nation. He was sure that the President, for whom he professed the highest respect, could not be pleased with this mode of conducting that before them.
Mr. Madison said he entirely agreed with those gentlemen who had observed that the house should not have advanced into this discussion, if it could have been avoided—but having proceeded thus far it was indispensably necessary to finish it.
Much delicacy had been thrown into the discussion, in consequence of the chief magistrate;—he always regretted the circumstance, when this was the case.
This he observed, was not the first instance of difference in opinion between the President and this house—It may be recollected that the President dissented both from the Senate and this House on a particular law (he referred to that apportioning the representatives)—on that occasion he thought the President right—On the present question, supposing the President really to entertain the opinion ascribed to him, it affords no conclusive reason for the House to sacrifice its own judgment.
It appeared to him, as it did to the gentleman from Georgia, that there was an innovation in the mode of procedure adopted, on this occasion—The house are on different ground from that usually taken—members seem to think that in cases not cognizable by law, there is room for the interpolation of the House—He conceived it to be a sound principle that an action innocent in the eye of the law, could not be the object of censure to a legislative body—When the people have formed a constitution, they retain those rights which they have not expressly delegated—It is a question whether what is thus retained can be legislated upon—Opinions are not the objects of legislation—You animadvert on the abuse of reserved rights—how far will this go?—It may extend to the liberty of speech and of the press.
It is in vain to say that this indiscriminate censure is no punishment. If it falls on classes or individuals it will be a severe punishment. He wished it to be considered how extremely guarded the constitution was in respect to cases not within its limits—Murder or treason cannot be noticed by the legislature. Is not this proposition, if voted, a vote of attainder? To consider a principle, we must try its nature, and see how far it will go; in the present case he considered the effects of the principle contended for, would be pernicious.
As he had confidence in the good sense and patriotism of the people, he did not anticipate any lasting evil to result from the publications of these societies; they will stand or fall by the public opinion; no line can be drawn in this case. The law is the only rule of right; what is consistent with that is not punishable; what is not contrary to that, is innocent, or at least not censurable by the legislative body.
With respect to the body of the people, (whether the outrages have proceeded from weakness or wickedness) what has been done, and will be done by the Legislature will have a due effect.—If the proceedings of the government should not have an effect, will this declaration produce it?—The people at large are possessed of proper sentiments on the subject of the insurrection—the whole continent reprobates the conduct of the insurgents, it is not therefore necessary to take the extra step—The press he believed would not be able to shake the confidence of the people in the government—In a republic, light will prevail over darkness, truth over error—he had undoubted confidence in this principle—If it be admitted that the law cannot animadvert on a particular case, neither can we do it—Governments are administered by men—the same degree of purity does not always exist—Honesty of motives may at present prevail—but this affords no assurance that it will always be the case—at a future period a Legislature may exist of a very different complexion from the present; in this view, we ought not by any vote of ours to give support to measures which now we do not hesitate to reprobate.
Mr. Madison adverted to precedents—none parallel to the subject before us existed—The inquiry into the failure of the expedition under St. Clair was not in point—In that case the house appointed a Committee of enquiry into the conduct of an individual in the public service—the democratic societies are not—He knew of nothing in the proceedings of the Legislature which warrants the house in saying that in
stitutions, confessedly not illegal, were subjects of legislative censure.
Debate to be Continued.
Monday, December 1.
The House, in committee of the whole took into consideration a bill for the relief of John R. Livingston—after some discussion the committee was discharged from any further proceedings on this bill—and on motion of Mr. B. Bourn—it was referred to the committee of claims.
Sundry petitions were read and referred to the committee of claims.
On motion of Mr. Parker, the house, in committee of the whole took into consideration the report of a select committee on the petition of Moles Myers; after some conversation on the subject, to give time for further information the committee rose and had leave to sit again.
On motion of Mr. Moore, the subject of a petition respecting a more extensive promulgation of the laws by having them translated into the German language was taken into consideration—after a few remarks on the importance of this business, Mr. Moore moved, that a committee be appointed to report what measures may be proper to promote a further promulgation of the laws.
Mr. Baldwin urged the importance of taking the most effectual measures to disseminate as extensively as possible, a competent knowledge of the laws and proceedings of the Government, in order to enable the people to judge for themselves, and to guard them against the operation of the groundless fears and jealousies which are excited by the discontented, factious, and ambitious—more particularly at the present crisis; and in order to guard against a repetition of the evils already experienced from this source. He saw no other way to prevent these mischiefs but that of surrounding as it were their whole proceedings with a blaze of light.
He recited a variety of misrepresentations and falsehoods which had been circulated with the greatest industry in the less informed parts of the country. The carriage act had been represented as extending to every description of wheel carriages, even to spinning wheels—these people had been told, and they religiously believed it, that an excise had been laid on wheat and other articles never contemplated in the law, and that the 80000 men which had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness, were a draft to be sent to France for which the United States were to receive a large subsidy—and many other equally futile and ridiculous tales had been circulated, too insignificant to mention in the House, but which had distracted the people, and rendered them unhappy; from all which Mr. Baldwin strongly inferred the necessity of something further and more effectual being done, (even if the expence should amount to 50,000 dollars per annum) to scatter the means of information among the people.
To shew them that their Government was good, and that its errors if any were such as proceed from the imperfection of human nature. Mr. Moore's motion, with the petition on which it was founded were referred to a select committee.
A report was read from the committee to whom that part of the President's speech was referred relative to trading houses for the accommodation of the Indian Tribes—this report coincides with the sentiment contained in the speech, and proposes a resolve for a law to pass appropriating 100,000 dollars for the purpose.
Referred to the committee of the whole house on Thursday—interim to be printed.
Mr. New, reported an enrolled bill for granting the privilege of franking, &c. to James White—this was signed by the Speaker.
Mr. Preston presented a petition from sundry inhabitants, who reside on the line between Virginia and the South Western Territory—read and referred to a select committee.
A petition was likewise presented by Mr. Preston, praying for a translation of the laws into the German language; this was referred to the committee on Mr. Moore's motion.
In committee of the whole, Mr. Cobb in the chair, on the bill to regulate the pay of the non-commissioned officers and privates of the militia when called into actual service of the United States.
This bill proposes that the pay shall commence from the time of enrolment. A motion that it should be altered to read "from the time of their appearing at the rendezvous of the Regiment or Brigade," occasioned some debate—the motion was finally agreed to—the committee then rose and reported progress, and the House adjourned.
PHILADELPHIA, DECEMBER 1.
From a Correspondent.
The debate on the self-created Clubs being finished, a paragraph at last peeps out of a certain paper, which has for some time kept a modest silence. The writer, probably a leading member of the club of this city, endeavours to rescue it from reproach, by attributing to the minority in the House of Representatives on the excise law, a similar conduct to that with which the clubs have been charged. Without denying that the very inflammatory speeches of certain members on that occasion, which were printed and industriously circulated throughout the Union, may have been in a degree instrumental in exciting uneasiness in the Western Country; that circumstance furnishes no vindication for the conduct of the clubs in forming that uneasiness after it had passed.
Last Friday evening the Governor of this Commonwealth, arrived in town from the western Country.
This day the Legislature of the Commonwealth are to meet at the State House, in this City.
We hear that in the month of October last the imports in the port of Philadelphia amounted to four hundred thousand dollars. The Philadelphia imports of this fall have been, it is calculated, not less than four millions of dollars.
We hear that Dwight Foster and William Lyman Esqrs. are re-elected members of the House of Representatives of the United States, by the people of their respective districts in Massachusetts.
Robert Brooke Esq. is elected Governor of Virginia in the room of Gen. Henry Lee Commander of the patriotic army—whose term of services was expired.
The Treaty lately held by Timothy Pickering Esq. with the Six Nations, we learn by a Whites town paper is concluded, and satisfactorily to all parties.
Foreign Intelligence.
Capt. Morgan of the brig Molly, arrived here on Saturday from London—Captain Morgan left London the 4th, the Downs the 6th, and the Lizard the 17th October, and brings papers which contain the following intelligence.
BARCELONA, Aug. 27
The news from Biscay and Navarre is very consolatory. The French after having surprised the Spanish nation, by their taking Puntarrabia and St Sebastian soon witnessed the loyalty and valour of those two provinces, the inhabitants of which, animated with the love of their sovereign, all rose to take up arms without distinction, to avenge his cause. They advanced immediately, with the greatest intrepidity, and checked the farther progress of the French, who doubtless, apprehensive of being cut in pieces, broke down the bridge of Tolosa, on the road of Navarre, and consequently seem to have relinquished the design of penetrating farther.
Fifty thousand musketeers have been sent to Burgos, from Madrid, and the regular troops and armed masses in that district have dispelled every fear of a visit from the enemy.
At Madrid, the Burgers are forming a garrison of 12,000 men, and in Arragon the inhabitants rise to defend the frontiers from every incursion.
In Roussillon the French evacuated St. Sebastian della Nuggo, to entrench themselves in the environs of Giuncbera.
A French colonel of Hussars came over to our army and br't with him a great deal of info. He gave some very interesting information respecting the French army, and disclosed the names of many spies in our own, who were instantly put under arrest.
The king's orders and the excellent preparations now making, inspire all Spaniards with the greatest confidence, and they fear nothing from any quarter.
AIX LA-CHAPELLE, Sept. 22.
It is unfortunate but too true, that the Austrians have experienced a defeat on river Ourte. There is constantly passing here, baggage coming from the country of Limbourg. The whole of the left wing of the Austrian army has been cut to pieces.
General Latour arrived on the 18th at 7 in the evening, at Herve, and at ten from the camp from Chartreuse Convent at Liege began moving, and the troops encamped near Herve.
On the 19th this army established themselves between Herve and Battice, but in the night abandoned again their position, and retreated. The victorious French followed their enemies close to their heels.
On the 20th, and yesterday, we heard a formidable cannonading, and a large fire was seen from our high towers.
Maastricht is completely invested by the French. The Austrians are said to have thrown seven battalions of troops into it.
VIENNA, Sept. 11.
Our regiment of light horse of Levencht marched on the 22d ult. from Dubona into the Polish territories. A corps under General Meirheim has also advanced to Pulway.
Skirmishes have taken place between our troops and the Poles, in consequence of the invasion of the former into that country. The Poles have fought every where with great courage and enthusiasm.
According to a new edict no Polish subject is tolerated in Galicia, unless he enlists in the militia.
Our Court has commenced an important correspondence with that of Russia, with respect to measures to be adopted by either in case of a rupture between Turkey and Russia.
The British ministers are still here—they are said to wait only for the ratification of the treaties on the part of his Britannic Majesty.
AIX LA-CHAPELLE, Sept. 19.
The day before yesterday the French attacked the Austrian General Kray, in his position before Maastricht, and obliged him, about 11 o'clock to fall back under the cannon of the place.
But General Clairfayt having come to his assistance, with four battalions of infantry, and four squadrons of horse, the enemy were driven back to their former ground.
But yesterday the French, with a very superior force, made a furious attack upon the Corps of General Latour, which was stationed from Chartrouse, of Liege along the river Ourte, about Spremont and Louvegnie, they having reconnoitred the day before from the top of the Citadel of Liege all the Austrian posts. The Austrians made a long resistance; but their left wing was overpowered at last, and obliged to retreat towards Herve with considerable loss. General Latour retreated with the centre and the right wing to Fouron St. Martin, after having evacuated Chartrouse.
On the same day, the enemy attacked also the corps of reserve, between 3 and 6000 men, which was stationed under General Dalton, to cover Limbourg, and, after a conflict of three hours, they forced this general to make his retreat towards this place.
Camp near Granenbourg, Sept. 24.
The Duke of York has made a movement to the left, about two leagues higher up the Meuse. His head-quarters are at Granenbourg.
Tuesday, Sept. 25.
The Duke of York has changed his head-quarters from Granenbourg to Mook a small village near his camp. The ground on which it is situated is elevated, commanding an extensive view of the country around, with the river, Grave &c.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 25.
Though the situation of these Provinces is more critical than ever, the enemy having rendered themselves masters of the Meuse and made further progress in our territory, we remain in the most perfect ignorance of the operations of the armies.
There has been, it is said, a French commissioner at the Hague, who had a long conference with the Grand Pensionary Vanden Spiegel. Lord St. Helens refused to be present at this interview, alleging that he had no instructions from his court to that effect. The result of this conference is for the present a secret. It is also reported that the King of Prussia has determined to offer terms of pacification to the French Convention for Prussia and Holland.
The report of the day is, that the French were preparing to pass the river Waal near Brommel, six leagues from Utrecht.
MAYENCE, Sept. 22.
We receive this moment the certain and important intelligence, that the attack of Field-Marshal Moellendorff on Kaisers-Lautern, has fully succeeded. The Prussians yesterday morning rendered themselves masters of that place, made 3000 prisoners, and took 6 pieces of cannon.
By the Convention accounts this place was retaken by the French the same day.
BRESLAW, Sept. 14.
Private letters from Poland assure us, that the king of Prussia has entered in

negotiations with Kosciusco, and that it is hoped the restoration of peace will be the consequence. The king intends to return to Berlin the latter end of this month.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Wednesday, September 10.
Bentabole rose—"Report tells me, that last night an attempt has been made to assassinate Tallien. I do not believe the convention will remain indifferent upon this subject. I demand that the Committee of General Safety, shall be charged to give us the details."—Adopted.
A moment after Dubarrin ascended the Tribunal in the name of the committee. "Citizens," said he, "Tallien last night has been assassinated; the Committee of General Safety took immediately the necessary steps to discover the authors and accomplices of this attempt.—They will render you their account of the affair.—The following is the letter written to us by the Commissary of the section of Indivisibility:
"Citizens, I hasten to inform you, that last night, at a quarter past twelve o'clock, Tallien being in the Rue Quatre Fils about to enter his own house was attacked by a man in a furred riding coat and a round hat—"Come, villain, (he cried) I have staid for thee a long time."
"Thus speaking, he struck him with his fist in the breast, and then fired a pistol at him, which penetrated his shoulder, and he fell. Several Citizens came up, the assassin escaped; the Representative of the People was then borne into his apartments, and the necessary aid administered. From the report of the Officer of Health, it appears that this will not be attended with any serious consequences to Tallien."—Applaudes.
LONDON, Sept. 29.
Letters by the last mail received from Holland mention, that at Rotterdam every thing is in motion. The inhabitants are all packing up their valuables and preparing to leave the town on the first nearer approach of the enemy, which there is now no adequate force in that quarter to prevent.
THE CONSPIRACY
AGAINST THE LIFE OF THE KING.
To the particulars of this infernal plot, given in our paper of yesterday, we have but little to add. The number of persons accused of being concerned in it is only four, the whole of whom are now in custody.
John Smith, Bookbinder, of Portugal Street, Lincoln's Inn fields, was taken into custody on Sunday night, charged with being a principal in the conspiracy, and was yesterday examined before the Privy Council, as were also those apprehended on Saturday night, as stated in our last; all of whom were remanded to prison, and ordered to be brought up again this day, at eleven o'clock.
The name of the person who has turned approver is Upton, by trade a watchmaker. He yesterday laid before his Majesty's Ministers a model of the dreadful instrument with which the meditated murder was to have been effected.
The following is a list of the Conspirators: LA MAITRE, HIGGINS, SMITH, UPTON, approver, and, as it appears, never seriously involved in the plot.
By this Day's Mail.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 28.
A gentleman of respectability, of this town, passenger in the ship Richmond, 44 days from Liverpool to Norfolk, arrived yesterday in town; and besides the following information, kindly presented the printers of this gazette with the London Chronicle, from the 7th to the 9th of October, from which they have extracted as much as time and the limits of their paper would permit.—The information alluded to, as given by this gentleman, is, that some time previous to his leaving London, (which was the 10th ult.) he had been in Holland, and that from his own observations on the desperate situation of affairs in that country, he entertains not the least doubt of its being entirely in the possession of the French. He also informs, that Mr. Jay had sent important dispatches by the Piquou, which were of the most agreeable complexion—and that the aspect of affairs at St. James' portended the most amicable adjustment of all differences between this country and Great Britain.
LONDON, Oct. 7.
The accounts from the continent afford little reason to believe that Holland can be protected. Both the Austrian and the British armies are obliged to retreat, and leave the United Provinces to their own means of defence. In the mean time, the French are advancing, and meet with little opposition from the fortresses garrisoned by Dutch troops. It was yesterday reported that they had advanced to and taken possession of Utrecht, between which and Amsterdam there is nothing to oppose them.
Gen. Clairfayt's head-quarters were by the last accounts at Juliers; but there is too much reason to fear that this general and his army will also find it expedient to cross the Rhine, leaving the lower part of Germany, as well as Holland, exposed to the enemy.
Great consternation prevails in Holland; and we are sorry to add, that a spirit of disaffection to their present government seems too prevalent among the Dutch.
Letters from Mentz, dated the 26th ult. inform us of a considerable advantage gained over the enemy by prince Hohenlohe. A plan had been concerted for the re-capture of Treves. It was to be executed in concert by general Mollendorff, prince Hohenlohe, and duke Albert, who commands the Austrians. A general attack was to be made on the 28th, on the enemy's posts in the neighborhood of that place.
On the evening preceding the destined attack, general Mollendorff received intimation from general Clairfayt of his disaster near Maastricht; and concluding that duke Albert would not execute his part of the projected attack, but move to the succor of Clairfayt, he relinquished his part likewise. Prince Hohenlohe, however, at the head of the Prussians under his command, fortunately receiving no counter orders from general Mollendorff, advanced to the attack of the enemy, and drove them from Kaiserlautern, and all their posts in its vicinity, with very great slaughter. Two thousand French were killed; three thousand were made prisoners, among whom were upwards of one hundred officers. Five pieces of cannon were likewise taken.
Letters from Dusseldorf say, that from the 15th to the 23rd of September, general Clairfayt's army lost more than eleven thousand men, in killed and wounded, besides a great number taken prisoners; above one hundred pieces of cannon, and all the ammunition and baggage of the left wing. On the 24th the French were still continuing to pursue and attack the Austrians wherever they could overtake them, with the evident intention of driving across the Rhine all whom they could not destroy or take prisoners.
It is said that preparations are making for the departure of the Stadtholder of the United Provinces for this country, and that part of his effects have already been sent off. The Stadtholder has gone in person to the Bommel to take the necessary measures for preventing the enemy from crossing the Maese.
We are assured, that the fortress of Crevecoeur has been retaken by storm on 30th ult. by the Hessian and Dutch troops stationed on the Isle of Bommel. This fact rests upon the best authority from the Hague, and is generally believed by the Dutch government. We can positively contradict the idle report of a French commissioner having made his appearance at the Hague or Amsterdam.
Tallien, in consequence of the attempt to assassinate him, seems to have regained much of his popularity, which was evidently on the decline. His party, however, has little weight in the convention, and is mostly expelled from the Jacobin club; but they continue to inveigh against Barrere, Collot d'Herbois, Levasseur, Dunham, Carrier, Vadier and Billaud Varennes, the three latter of whom are leading men in the Jacobin club.
Yesterday several persons of distinction arrived in town from Holland.—Great numbers of persons were on the eve of embarking for this country as an asylum.
General Clairfayt is now at Cologne, against which the enemy are said to be advancing in great force, on the near approach of whom it is thought he will pass the Rhine; not judging it prudent to risk another engagement in the present reduced state of his army, with such an immense superiority of force as is opposed to him.
October 9.
The Dutch mail due on Monday, not being arrived when this paper was put to press, makes it impossible to determine any thing respecting different rumours that have been circulated, of riots in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and
the neighbourhood; of the stadtholder and his family being busily employed in making preparations to come to England, his enemies being so numerous and becoming so powerful as to threaten the entire overthrow of the present Dutch government; of Utrecht being taken by the French; and many other reports, partly originating in the views and wishes of those who give them currency.
Watt and Downie, the persons under sentence of death for high treason at Edinburgh, are to be executed on the Castle-Hill, north side of the Castle Gate, in that city, on Wednesday next.
Sunday evening Mr. Scott (a third messenger in the course of 24 hours) arrived at Mr. Dundas's office, with dispatches from his royal highness the duke of York. He left the army on Thursday last. As he came off at an hour's notice, he brought only private dispatches for government; but we understand that his royal highness had made a movement to join general Clairfayt, with the intention of raising the siege of Maastricht.
It is with concern we have to state, that on the 28th ult. the fortress of Crevecoeur, which commands the passage of the Maese to the Bommel, was taken possession of by the enemy. It was given up either from the cowardice or treachery of the commandant, who is now under arrest, and will be tried by a court-martial.
LAUSANNE, Sept. 2.
Witel, the chief of the party of the mountain at Geneva, was shot on the 30th ult. The French resident Soulavie took his departure in secret. His successor is the national commissioner Dolfet, who has already set at liberty a great number of prisoners, and declared, that he has orders from the committee of public welfare at Paris, to do nothing but what should appear most agreeable to the Swiss.
VIENNA, Sept. 13.
The two English plenipotentiaries have had their audience of leave, and will shortly quit this city; but whether they will go direct to London, or to any other place first, we do not know.
With regard to the treaty between Great-Britain and Austria, the following farther particulars have transpired.
 1. Great-Britain will immediately pay the subsidies to be granted, as soon as Austria shall request them.  2. Great-Britain will most earnestly co-operate in the reconquest of the Netherlands, to be effected as speedily as possible.  3. The Netherlands shall have a standing militia sufficient to cover them.  4. The convention entered into at the Hague shall be annulled.  5. Austria is to receive of Great-Britain the sum of 4,000,000 of florins per annum, for which it shall cover with troops Maastricht, Breda, and all the frontier provinces. 
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sept. 21.
Carnot, in the name of the committee of public safety communicated the following dispatches:
Gillet representative of the people with the army of the Sambre and the Meuse, to the committee of public safety.
Head-Quarters at Tongres, Sept. 17.
"We lost not an instant in executing the order you had given us to attack the enemy on the right bank of the Meuse.—Forty-two battalions, with a proportionate number of squadrons, were detached under the command of generals Sherer, Marceau and Bonnot, and passed the river at Namur and Huy. From the 13th the passages of the Ourte had been forced at Durbuy and Combline-au-Pont. It remained to clear the Aywaille river, the banks of which are defended by remarkable steep rocks, and which affords hardly a practicable passage for the infantry. The enemy, with 18,000 men, occupied two camps on the right side of this river, the one at Renne, the other at Sprimont. All the heights were covered with redoubts; and after forcing a passage, we must necessarily march for near a league, under the fire of a flanking artillery, in order to gain the summit of the mountain; never was position more formidable; art & nature seemed to have united every possible obstacle, but our army proved that it knew of no obstacle when its business was to conquer.
Yesterday at day-break, four columns attacked at the same time along the whole line, the Aywaille to Emur. All the passages were forced by the bayonet, and the enemy's camps taken at full charge; 700 prisoners, 26 pieces of cannon, almost all of large calibre, carriages of remount, three pair of colours, 1200 men killed or wounded, abundance of muskets thrown away by the enemy, about 100 horses and 40 ammunition waggons, were the prize of the victory. It was complete.
The remnant of Latour's army is entirely routed and dispersed in the woods, our army is in pursuit, and will give a
good account of the fugitives. I cannot yet state the loss on our side; but according to all the returns received, we have to regret but a very small number of republicans. While the right wing was signaling itself among the rocks of Limbourg, the left and the centre were beating the enemy towards Masek, and before Maastricht. The villages of Laveld, Emur, and Montenaken were carried, and the enemy pursued to the glacis of Maastricht. Health and fraternity!
GILLET."
The commander in chief of the army of the Sambre and Meuse to the committee of public safety.
"Head-quarters at the Suburb of St.
"Marguerite of Liege, Sept. 19.
"Citizen Representatives,
"Last night, the enemy quitted the camp of the Chartreuse. The immense ruins which had accumulated at the gate of Liege, and which we had to clear away, prevented us from marching in pursuit, till eight in the morning. We have, however, brought in a number of deserters. The loss of the enemy has been much more considerable than I at first stated. The accounts given by deserters, agree in saying that there are regiments with only 150 men left. As we have been the whole day in the pursuit and in making new dispositions, I cannot obtain circumstantial details of the brilliant action of yesterday. As soon as I obtain them, they shall be forwarded.
JOURDAN."
Gillet, representative of the people with the army of the Sambre and the Meuse, to the committee of public safety.
Head-quarters at Liege, Sept. 19.
"I informed you, this morning, that the enemy had abandoned their camp at the Chartreuse. General Jourdan immediately directed two strong columns of infantry and cavalry to pursue them, the one by Liege, and the other by Bife. The cavalry pushed his advanced guards to Verviers. What I told you of the battle of yesterday, is far short of the truth. The enemy left more than 2000 men on the field. Several of their battalions are reduced to 150 men.
Their loss in artillery is much more considerable than we at first imagined. To day we have found several pieces of cannon and ammunition waggons in the ravines and woods. In a word, the army of Latour seems to have lost all its artillery. To morrow the army makes a general movement, and we shall do every thing in our power to take advantage of our victory without hazarding a reverse of fortune.—The prisoners and deserters assure us, that the language of the Austrians is much changed. They are weary of the war, and with for nothing so much as a speedy return to Germany. We have seen Latour's carriage, his secretary, and his papers. Health and fraternity.
GILLET.

Boston, New-York, Philadelphia, the western country, Virginia and South-Carolina have each an insurrection club. Which will cost the country the most money? the six clubs, or the six frigates. If we could have bartered the clubs a year ago with the French for six of their frigates, our allies would have kept them safe under the lock and key of Legendre, and we should have saved our money twice over. Is it too late to make the offer?
A letter was read in the House of Representatives, this day, addressed to the Speaker, from the Secretary of the Treasury, announcing his intention to resign his office on the last day of January next.—The letter states, that this previous intimation is given, in order that the house, if they see proper, may in the interim, proceed with the inquiry into the transactions of the Treasury Department, instituted the last session.

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.]
Extra from the Critical Review, April 1795, p. 458.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity. The regularity of her former conduct, is evidence from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the innocence of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is now, we think, properly distributed.
2. The Inquisitor—By Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 37 1/2 cents
3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols. 1 dollar and 50 cents; coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine.

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 presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves 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, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tories nor Republicans—They love liberty as Englishmen, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble 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 the zealots of either party. But when time shall dispel the clouds of political deception, they 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 12.
"We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind."

Embellished with a map of Barbary, comprehending Morocco, Fez, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoly.
To the present edition is added a very copious index, containing letters from sundry American prisoners in Algiers to their friends in the United States—a list of the vessels taken—and many very interesting articles not in the first edition.
