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.

For the Gazette of the United States.
THE fall and destruction of Robespierre and his party, open a new field for speculation.
It appears, that sensible of his popularity being in a decline, he had determined to make a desperate push to re-establish his power. But unwilling to do things by halves, he resolves, with the true spirit of a Frenchman, to settle matters at once, and denounces one hundred members of the Convention. This intemperateness, and impatience to get rid of his enemies, proved the destruction of this great Oracle of Democracy. Had he been contented to proceed gradually, his superior talents, when turned with their full vigour to any object, would have enabled him to have risen superior to any attempt against him; but so bloody and barefaced a measure seems still more to have startled the Deputies, who had already taken the alarm at his sanguinary proceedings, and had been for some time secretly undermining him—these seized on a favorable opportunity afforded by the absence of some of his party, to destroy the confidence of the Galleries in him; and Billaud Varennes, coming boldly forward, denounces him for a traitor, he is vigorously seconded by Barrere, Bourdon de l'Oise and others—Tallien draws his dagger, and threatens to take the execution of justice on himself—that argument, which has convinced so many, proved on this occasion equally irresistible. But he did not need to put his threat in execution—Robespierre and the others, attempting to defend themselves, are severally refused to be heard, and silenced by the Galleries—The Convention, overawed by the influence of Tallien, instantly determines his fate; and sentences to the Guillotine, the man who had so long been accustomed to govern there with absolute sway. Those lesser luminaries of Democracy, who may be considered as Satellites of Robespierre, are obscured by the greater importance of his character. The Revolution, which like Saturn, devours its own children, has swept off together with Robespierre, Couthon, St. Just, De Lantey, of Angiers, Robespierre the younger and a number of others—all of whom were distinguished men—but involved in the fate of Robespierre, they pass before our eyes like meteors, and remain undistinguished from the crowds that have gone before them.
Happy had it been for Robespierre to have fallen by the hands of L'Amiral—he might then like Mariat have been worshipped as a Demi-God, and enrolled in the Calendar of martyrs to the revolution. But fate did not permit: destined to fall by the plots he had laid for others, "like a woodcock caught in his own springe, he is justly killed with his own treachery."
Thus fallen before the invincible arm of the Guillotine, low lies the mighty Marius of France—his lot is much less fortunate than his of Rome, as his crimes were greater: arrested early in his career of villainy, cut off by his own murderous steel, Robespierre scarce attained the prime of life: Marius after a life of discord, in the 70th year of his age, and 7th Consulate, died of a pleurisy brought on by drunkenness.
No more shall the bloody butcher of Paris cause to pour down her freets of torrents of blood, which have been depopulating for three years past, the most delightful country in the world. His dark plots and secret artifices, his bloody proscriptions, whereby he has sacrificed on an average thirty individuals daily, are now at an end.
Robespierre is gone! the last branch of that famous Triumvirate, who laid to deep their plots, and seemed to aim at nothing less than the total subversion of all the governments of the earth: Marat murdered like Crassus, Danton vanquished by Cæsar Robespierre; and he in his turn destroyed by Brutus Tallien, and the other Deputies, who may be called the Cassius's, the Casca's, the Cimbers, &c.
Robespierre is gone! but there is too little cause for the friends of humanity to rejoice: new Maries and new Syllas will arise from his ashes, and those bloody scenes which have already struck the world with horror, will be re-acted. There is however some consolation in the idea that the ruthless villain has been caught in his own snare.
Robespierre no doubt intended to have made himself a Dictator; in this he has failed, perhaps only to give room for some new candidate: he is probably now gone to regions, where he will have a larger scope for the display of his Revolutionary powers.
For the Gazette of the United States. Mr. FENNO, On Tuesday evening I took a walk
up towards the State House, to give in my vote, and to observe the manner in which the Election was carried on; on approaching near the place, I was accosted by a man who had a number of tickets in his hand, who asked me if I was going to vote, on answering in the affirmative, he immediately offered me a ticket in favor of Mr. — who he recommended in the strongest terms, and at the same time told me to step up to Mr. O'Ellers's Hotel where I would get a share of something that was good, and free of expence.—I proceeded on a little further, when another person offered me a ticket of the same description—and whose empty stomach I imagined had induced him to perform the service; this person had all the appearance of an ignorant tool—crying out, "dam F—s, we have not forgot the Bargo yet!" and much more to the same purpose, not worth mentioning, were it not to show the folly and absurdity, of our fellow-citizens, in leaving a matter of the greatest importance to every free-man of the United States, to be decided by persons, who while they suppose themselves free, sell this glorious privilege for a mess of Pottage, a slice of ham, or a drink of Grog. I should be sorry to say, the majority of the Citizens who attended the Election were of this class—no; for I believe there were many of the most respectable characters, and men of sound understanding, who attended; but I am sorry to say this most important duty of electing officers of government is too much neglected by our fellow-citizens in general; and if not more closely attended to, corruption of men and manners will certainly be the consequence; from which and the pest of Democratic Societies, may we ever remain Free.
AN OBSERVER.
From the Eagle.
No fiction can be pleasing, or instructive, which has not some resemblance to reality, or at least a shadow of possibility, but many modern versifiers pay little attention to this maxim. The dull insipidity of their measured prose is rendered still more distasteful by plagiarisms from the absurd fables of antiquity. True our best modern poets generally reject such ridiculous machinery. Yet absurd fables, of a kind, sometimes occur even in this enlightened period.
"Attend, and paint the Majesty of JOVE! Says a late writer in a certain periodical publication. JOVE was the BAAL of the Assyrians, and, BAAL was the DEVIL! We have no objections to the gentleman's painting the majesty of the DEVIL! But on one condition, viz. that he should not describe the SUPREME, nor be preferred with the term JEHOVAH! If an appearance of levity, in censuring such improprieties, is admissible, you will please insert the following."
SKETCHES HUDIBRASTIC;
On the absurdity of invoking Heathen Gods in poetry; or checking the sallies of genius, by critical rules not founded in NATURE.
SAY, can no other power inspire Our frigid bards with heavenly fire, But such as tuned Mæonian lays, And gained the Greek immortal bays! Is there no God, who rules above, That poets chant their lays to Jove? Or shall we bend the servile knee, To an old Pagan Deity! That poet, who in modern days, By antique rules attunes his lays, May "cut a dash" with borrowed wit, But has of genius not a wit; For want of which, is doomed to tread The path by ancient writers made. Dame Nature is our surest guide; Then set pedantic rules aside, Despise the man, who would confine us, To Aristotle, or Longinus— To learned Varro or Quintilian, And other critics half a million; But nature's laws we'll still prefer: Who copies nature cannot err.
Some rhyming dance perhaps will say, "Just let us poets have fair play, Great Homer at invoked his mule, And we will do as if we mule. The Mantuan Bard, in lays divine, Courted Apollo, and the Nine. 'Tis right I'm sure in modern ages, To imitate those ancient fages. Yes they went on, without restriction, Still heaping fiction upon fiction."
Your argument, though vain, I'll answer, Convince your dulness if I can Sir. Perfection does to none belong, Those ancient fages might do wrong, To censure them we'll not be sparing, When their absurdity is glaring, Poetic images they sought, In fables their religion taught, But sure a modern writer fails, Who introduces fictitious tales, And makes old Heathen Gods, machines, To animate poetic scenes. Except sometimes in humorous pieces, Their agency our mirth increas'd. Would you describe a drunken rout, And for expressions are out to's, Then haul in that old heathen BACCHUS, And make him rhyme with wine and crackers.
Or when a lover's lost his heart, 'Twill oft assist some other part, And this, I'm sure is very plain, The heart's connected with the brain;
From which I bring this inference; That one in love has no pretence, To half a grain of common sense. For him to introduce a Cupid, Will not appear to be so stupid, Because, the little urchin blind, Is but an emblem of his mind. But what has that old bully Mars To do with modern Indian wars? Or do you think, that Madam Clito, Can well describe the broad Obio? Did wise Apollo ever dream Of Mississippi's mighty stream? Arcadian Pan e'er tune his voice Or banks of rapid Illinois? Diana ever lead the chase Among the tawny savage race, Who prow the wood in quest of prey In regions of declining day? 'Tis said the famous fleed Pegasus Is metamorphosed to a Jackass! For poetsellers then, I wren, The fittest beast that e'er was seen, A kind of friendship will subsist Between the rider and the beast. Brutes of a species, they'll agree, And jog along so cleverly, T'oblivion's valley there to stay; As pious Sternhold used to say, "Until forever, and a day." Ye who are candidates for fame, Ambitious of a poet's name, No more address the Pagan throng, Nor file Apollo god of song, Columbia's daughters sure are fair As maids Pierian ever were, And Bunker's hill by far surpasses, The heights renown'd of mount Parnassus 'Tis folly then to sue for aid To Phoebus or Aonian Maid; For if one cannot write without, Which often is the case no doubt, 'Tis time his labors to give o'er, His scrawl to burn, nor scribble more, For 'tis the truth, he ought to know it, 'Tis nature's voice HE IS NO POET.
Foreign Intelligence.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
August 2.
Addresses were presented from Tours and Lisle, upon the late events at Paris. A letter was likewise read from the Representatives of the people with the armies of the Rhine and the Moselle.
The deputies of the commune of Cambay were admitted to the bar: they came to denounce the Representative Joseph Lebon, as an agent of Robespierre and St. Just. They complained of the tyranny which was exercised in the commune of Cambay, where money was distributed, and plays given gratis to the public, in order to mislead them.
Lebon, they said, instituted a tribunal, by which many innocent people perished. On these occasions he had always in his mouth the well known saying of St. Just—"The Revolution is like a clap of thunder, we must strike!" He had convened the people on the 10th of this month, to harangue them, as he frequently did, and doubtless expected to apprise them of the triumph of his faction; but he had only to relate its total discomfiture, and the death of its chief.
Lebon mounted the tribune. Bourdon (de l'Oise)—"There is the hangman Robespierre made use of!"
Andre Dumont—"Citizens, we have heard unpleasant truths. Justice has a long time been outraged in the departments of the north, and Pays de Calais. The hangman chosen by Robespierre has made rivers of blood. Lebon, this sanguinary monster, drunk with blood, and covered with crimes and curses, has dared to contaminate the tribune with his presence, that he might exhale the venom of his infernal foul.—Not a minute passes but he meditates some new crime, and prepares a new assassin."
"I demand the report of the decree by which you passed to the order of the day upon the accusation of Lebon, I demand his arrest and speedy punishment."
Claudel—"I am persuaded that Lebon is a vile wretch, but I demand that he should be heard."—Applause.
Lebon—"Since I am permitted to speak, I am more lucky than when I was on the point of perishing by Robespierre, who would not permit me to be heard; for you must know, citizens, this infamous fellow plotted my destruction three decades ago."
I arrived at Arras just as the courier brought the intelligence from Paris of Robespierre having fallen under the sword of the law. I related and confirmed the fact, and told the people to look to the National Convention as a rallying point. The inhabitants were much surprised at the event, but I told them of circumstances which fell within my own knowledge, which enabled them to see Robespierre in his true light. The Dictator directly assembled, and came to resolutions, which I signed, and transmitted to the Convention. Is it not astonishing that calumny should follow a Representative of the People, though for nine months past he has been sweating?
Poultier—He sweated blood! Lebon—A Representative of the people, who for nine months has continually labored for his country, and preferred her safety to his own. All my denouncers are my enemies, and have an interest in my downfall. There is a great difference between Robespierre, who plotted for himself, and him who only followed the decrees of the Convention and orders of the Committee of Public Welfare. You yourselves sanctioned the report of St. Just, and every order which the traitors gave to those members who were sent on commissions, and we became responsible in consequence.
Bourdon del'Oise—Thou dinest with the hangman. Lebon—The Convention made honorable mention of a similar conduct in Lequinio. You consecrated the words of St. Just. Without the severity I employed, aristocracy would still have survived. The tribunal I instituted was under the orders of the Committee of Public Welfare, and they maintained it, though I wrote three or four times to them, willing them to discontinue it.
Poultier. Lebon has told you that he acted only under the orders of the Committee of Public Welfare. I have proofs that when a courier brought orders from that committee, he tore the orders, and put the courier in prison.
Lebon. I defy the proof of this charge; I always followed the orders, though sometimes repugnant to my own sentiments. Dumont, my colleague, is prejudiced against me on account of some private difference between us. Geoffroy is interested in my downfall. Shall I describe in what manner?
Turreau—Describe thyself, wretch.
Charles Lacroix. Lebon does not answer to facts; let him say, did he not keep a man, with monstrous barbarity, under the suspended blade of the guillotine, while he himself was reading news which had just arrived?
Lebon. The man was not arrived at the place of execution, and it was a victory which I read to the public.
Legendre. Lebon is accused by every one. I demand his arrest, provisionally, till a report on his conduct is made, to which he shall have every means of reply. Applauded.
Claudel proposed that the committees of General Safety and Legislation should report on this subject, as he justified himself under the orders of the Committee of Public Welfare.
All these propositions were decreed.
The Convention then decreed the arrest of Clement and Marchand, agents of the committee of general safety, who have occasioned the complaints of various patriots on their mission. It further decreed, that the ci-devant priests and nobles were excluded from every civil and military function, and charged the Committee of Public Welfare, to suggest a mode of replacing them.
Barrere announced that the army of the North applauded the fall of the new conspirators. The army, he said, was on its way to Holland, and had taken the Island of Cadland, a position very useful for military operations, and where they had found 70 pieces of cannon and various magazines.
Cambon. I should inform the Convention of a fact, which will prove the precautions taken by the conspirators to accomplish their ambitious designs.
The commissioners of the Treasury and national revenues have been ordered by the Committee of Public Welfare, to have their accounts audited, relative to the banks of the municipality of Paris. Would you believe that municipality, who were perpetually demanding money, and clamored against such as desired to know its expenditure, accusing them as counter-revolutionists, wishing to impede the public service, had at their disposal six millions and 100,000 livres in assignats, and 45,000 livres in specie. Notwithstanding, on the 4th and 5th of the month, they came to me in particular, to obtain 3 or 400,000 livres for the charges of police and illumination.
It is the more extraordinary this money should be found in the chest, as the Committee of Finances had several months ago taken measures to prevent the Municipality from receiving any sums direct, referring all expenses to the National Treasury, that were admitted by the Committee of Public Welfare to be indispensable and necessary.
The Convention should be told another circumstance relative to the younger Robespierre; he, when sent to the army of Italy, was connected with one Haller, an old associate with d'Espagnac, and denounced a number of times. This man suggested a Decree, by which he was to procure twelve millions per month in specie, for the Army of Italy. The Committee of Public Welfare alarmed at the danger, after a consulta-
tion with that of Finances, annulled the Decree.
This attempt having failed, the younger Robespierre, in understanding, no doubt, with Haller, put in requisition all the silks in the South of France, to export them to Genoa. This measure, when it was considered that France drew annually great quantities from Piedmont, alarmed us; and upon consulting with the Southern deputies, the scheme was defeated in despite of the attempts of the conspirators to carry it in the Senate.
Such were the financial operations of the Tyrant. They will suffice to put you on your guard against voting money blindly, without proper indications of its employment.
Upon Monmayau's proposition to exclude ex-nobles, clergy, and strangers, from public functions, a discussion arose. The Convention decreed their exclusion, and passed the decree, which gives the Committee of Public Welfare the right of requisition upon all nobles, clergy, and foreigners.
August 3.
The Convention ordered the insertion of the proceedings at the common hall in the bulletin.
Cambon caused the following decree to be adopted.
COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS.

Merlin of Thionville. I do not appear in this tribune, to plead the cause of Priests and Nobles. I demanded their expulsion from office the earliest, and my sentiments upon the subject are well known to my colleagues. I speak in favour of the public good, which the Decree of yesterday will compromise. I shall not explain my motives. I think my colleagues will easily divine them. I demand the suspension of the decree.
After some little contest, in which Bourdon de l'Oise, Royer Ducos, and Villers took part, the Convention suspended the decree and charged the committee of public welfare to present a report on the means of employing such of those citizens as could be useful to the Republic.
To solicitations for the enlarging persons detained, Barrere thus replied:
The two committees of general safety and public welfare are occupied incessantly with restoring freedom to the patriots, and great numbers are at liberty. But the aristocracy must not be suffered to turn to its advantage the revolution which is now operating; the law of Sept. 17th, will be rigidly executed.
Barrere then presented for the approbation of the Convention three citizens, to command the 17th military division. Thierry, Commandant at Lisle, to command in chief; and as Adjutants General, Mathis, head of a Legion at Paris, and Remoissonet, Commandant at Soissons, all old wounded Officers, and who rendered eminent services on the night from 9 to 10 Thermidor.
He then presented a new plan for the organization of the National Guards of Paris. The Convention ordered the printing, and the adjournment of the whole.
UNITED STATES.
HARRISBURGH, Oct. 6.
On Friday last, the President of the United States arrived in this town.—The pleasure excited, in beholding, for the first time, our Beloved Chief, in this Borough, is not easily described.—The following address was delivered to him, by the burgeses, in behalf of the inhabitants of the town,
To his Excellency GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esquire, President of the United States of America.
SIR,
While we, the Burgeses and Citizens of Harrisburgh, rejoice in the op-

portunity of presenting our respects to a character, so justly revered and dear to Americans, we cannot but lament that we should owe it to an interruption of the peace and prosperity of our country, those constant objects of your public cares. We trust, however, that the just indignation which fires the breath of all virtuous citizens, at the unprovoked outrages committed by those lawless men, who are in opposition to one of the mildest and most equal governments of which the condition of man is susceptible, will excite such exertions, as to crush the spirit of disaffection, wherever it has appeared, and that our political horizon will shine brighter than ever on a dispersion of the clouds, which now menace and obscure it.
Though our sphere of action is too limited to produce any important effects, yet we beg leave to assure your Excellency, that so far as it extends, our best endeavours shall not be wanting to support the happy constitution, and wise administration of our government.
Signed in behalf of the Borough, CONARD BOMBACH, ALEX. BERRYHILL, } Burg's. Harrisburgh, Oct. 3, 1794.
To which he was pleased to return the following answer.
To the Burgesses and other Citizens of Harrisburgh. GENTLEMEN,
In declaring to you the genuine satisfaction I derive from your very cordial address, I will not mingle any expression of the painful sensations which I experience from the occasion that has drawn me hither. You will be at no loss to do justice to my feelings. But relying on that kindness of Providence toward our country, which every adverse appearance hitherto has served to manifest, and counting upon the tried good sense and patriotism of the great body of our fellow-citizens, I do not hesitate to indulge, with you, the expectation of such an issue, as will serve to confirm the blessings we enjoy, under a constitution that well deserves the confidence, attachment and support of virtuous and enlightened men. To class the inhabitants of Harrisburgh among this number, is only to bear testimony to the zealous and efficient exertions, which they have made towards the defence of the laws.
G. WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. 1794.
NEW-YORK October 13. The Prussian Minister has formerly declared to the Diet of Ratisbon, that his sovereign will not execute his treaty with the maritime powers, for a supply of 60,000 auxiliary troops. This declaration announces a fact of the utmost consequence in the present state of Europe.
A report prevails in Vienna that Spain is on the point of making peace with France.
The states of Holland and West Friesland on the 26th of July came to a resolution to defend their country against invasion to the utmost of their power. This resolution was communicated to the deputies of the other states, who concurred in the same.
Many of the Merchants of Amsterdam are determined not to quit that city; but to pursue their occupations, and risk their lives and properties with the French, in case they should be compelled to submit to their power.
The celebrated Madam Necker died lately at Bern in Switzerland, after a long illness.
The French were making preparations the beginning of August, to commence the siege of Turin.
The plan of Mr. Pitt was to starve France. Yet instead of this the French Privateers have taken probably from the British merchants more provisions, than the British privateers have taken in neutral vessels bound to France; and her armies are now feeding upon the rich harvests of the Palatinate and the Austrian low countries.
The late proclamation of his most gracious Majesty the King of Great Britain it is supposed in England, will be quite satisfactory to the Americans who have lost their vessels and cargoes. Yet every one knows that the expenses of pursuing an appeal in the Admiralty of Great Britain will amount to more money than most of the cargoes sold for in the West Indies. The permission therefore will be considered as a most gracious manner of adding insult to robbery.
remarks. "The opinions of the French are dangerous," say the Combined powers. And what then? Are opinions to be
extirpated by the sword? Just so said the ancient Pagans: Christian doctrines are dangerous and Christians must be exterminated.—Then followed burning smothering and crucifixion and all the horrid works of death, to serve God and save the state.
"Aristocratical notions are dangerous say the French Jacobins; aristocrats therefore must be exterminated—the slaves of tyrants must be destroyed—and every man who has anti-civic opinions must be taken off. Thus to save the republic, as they say, and to preserve liberty, one part of the citizens must lose both liberty and life. Streams of blood and hundreds of families stripped of property and doomed to wretchedness, are tremendous proofs of a free government, most dreadful harbingers to usher in the age of reason.
But the Jacobins insist that the men who suffer are traitors. If this is true of all or most who suffer the axe, it is a proof indubitable that the government is bad. It is the last reason that a Jacobin should assign for such bloody work; for it is a solemn truth, as old as the earth and as extensive as nations that a good government never produces numerous treasons. So far from it, that men from the earliest ages have chosen to submit to many political evils, and bear with governments tolerably good, rather than rebel or betray their country. Individual treasons and sudden insurrections have sprung up in the best governments from local or temporary causes; but in no good government, has there ever been a succession or continuation of treasons.
The numerous instances of treason in France, if real are a certain unequivocal proof that the Revolutionists have put the knife too deep into old establishments—remedies have been too violent—too much property, too many rights have been violated; This is the fact. One violent step led to a second—a second to a third; till the sufferers became numerous and demanded justice. Cruelty and violence raised opposition, opposition ended in rebellion; and Lyons, Marfeilles Toulon, and La Vendee will tell the rest.
The rebellion in the Southern Departments of France was not excited originally by royalism or aristocracy; tho' the royalists joined it; but it was raised by republicans who determined to set the Convention free from the influence of a Paris banditti who filled the galleries and governed the debates; this was the original and true cause. Yet the Jacobins have tried to make the world believe that the departmental war was the work of traitors. Am. Minerva.
From the American Daily Advertiser of this morning.
The following is the copy of a memorandum of Captain Fitzpatrick, of the ship Adriana, and contains all the intelligence in circulation at the time of his sailing from Amsterdam.
"The Prince of Cobourg, with his army, lay between Liege and Treves, with an intention to retake the latter, or oppose the progress of the French army. The Duke of York, with the British army, lay between Antwerp and Breda, and the Dutch army were moving in different bodies to Bois-le-Duc, Breda, and Bergen op Zoom. The French were besieging Sluys, and had taken the forts of Philipin and Eslle, near Sluys, by which they have rendered the inundating the country useless. A Dutch officer who arrived at the Hague, brought an account that the garrison of Sluys were provided with all sorts of supplies in plenty, but that the number of men was insufficient to make a very great defence. This officer came to demand a reinforcement of men, which if not granted the Dutch General, Vander Duyn, would be obliged to give up the place.—The French, with the assistance of some of the inhabitants of Liege, had taken the suburbs of that city, but General Latour erected a battery on the hill of Chartreux, which obliged them to withdraw, after which there was an engagement between the French and the Austrian General Krag, the former lost a considerable number of men. This action was fought between Liege, Maastricht and Tongres, and the French were forced back to Tongres.—The French, after some attempts on Marzig, obliged the Austrian army to leave that post, and then advanced to Treves, which they took without resistance the 7th August. The loss of this place obliged the Prince of Cobourg, and the Prussian General Mollendorff, to send a large body of their troops to defend the neighboring country of Juliers and Berg.—A dragoon of the regiment of Austrian Latour, who made his escape from Valenciennes, informed that this garrison, and that of Conde, were well supplied. The
the communication between the 2 towns was open. That the Austrian cavalry made frequent excursions to Mons and Ath, in possession of the French, which occasioned skirmishes.—Quevroy, near Valenciennes, is besieged by the French under General Jourdan, but not yet taken.—The French army, it is said, are under good discipline. The different towns they have taken were obliged to pay large sums as contributions—Anwerp paid five millions of guilders in specie.—No engagement lately, as the combined armies were not in sufficient force to meet the French. Six French frigates were cruising in the north sea, which obliged the Dutch to order three frigates to moor in the narrowest entrance to the Texel, to protect the passage."
The mate of the barque Neptune, which failed from hence a few days ago, in a letter dated New-York, October 13th, says,
"Off the high lands of Neverfink, we had the misfortune of meeting with two British 74's, and a 64, who pressed all our hands, which I may say left us at the mercy of the sea. One of our people gave them information of the French frigate lying in the stream at Philadelphia, upon which the Admiral ordered one of the 74's to cruise off the Delaware, and wait her coming out."

CAMP, CARLISLE, October 4. Extract of a letter from a respectable volunteer, in the Jersey Militia, to his friend in Trenton.
"We arrived at this place after a fatiguing march of 18 miles; and, generally speaking, I cannot but say, we have experienced a friendly disposition from the inhabitants of most of the towns on our march; though some places thro' which we have passed, appeared to be more hostile to the present expedition than others. One man at a little Dutch village, called Myers-Town, between Lebanon and Reading, behaved so imprudently, in a tavern where some of our officers had stopped, as to buzz for the Whiskey Boys, and uttered many other indecent and seditious expressions.—Our officers desired him to go about his business; but he still persisted, till he was ordered to be taken under guard—he swore that he would not leave the room till he had drank his liquor; the guard insisted; and one of them seized him and attempted to bring him forward, but the fellow instantly caught hold of the soldiers bayonet and used every effort to wrest it from him. A contest ensued, in which the soldier stabbed him in such a manner that he expired in the course of half an hour. This circumstance, as you may readily suppose, soon created the greatest consternation in the town; a villain immediately dispatched a message into the country, with what view we did not know, but apprehending that his intention was to give information to others of the same sentiment, and that an attack might possibly ensue, the Colonel determined to secure him, and for that purpose had him instantly put under guard, and we marched him on with us. A flanking party of 16 men was forthwith ordered out, and we (being without ammunition) were directed to be prepared for an instantaneous
charge in case of an attack: The inhabitants were extremely anxious, that the soldier should be delivered up to the civil authority; and even sent on consuls to Harrisburgh for that purpose; but, I believe (under the circumstances of the case) our regiment would have died to a man rather than that should have taken place.
The person who was brought to town yesterday from Carlisle, and committed to jail, is named John Cresswell.
Died last Saturday, after a short illness, Mr. Charles White, merchant of this city, of the house of Wolster, Adgate and White. A gentleman whose death is greatly lamented, by his connections and acquaintance.
Died, on Sunday the 12th instant after an illness of two weeks, Mr. STEPHEN COLLINS, merchant, of this city.
Married on Saturday evening last, by the Reverend Bishop White, Mr. PETER YORKE, to Miss MOLLY CLAYPOOLE, daughter of the late Mr. George Claypoole, of this city.

NEW-YORK, October 14.
A London paper on the 14th of August, states, that the Earl Spencer has completely succeeded in his mission: That the Emperor had agreed to continue the war, on condition of receiving a subsidy from Great Britain: Prince Cobourg is to be displaced, and succeeded in the command of the army by Gen. Clairfayt, with General Beaulieu, and Colonel Mack for Quarter-Masters.
It is reported at Aix la Chapelle, that the Commons of Brussels assembled on the 28th of July, and voted for an incorporation with the French Republic.
There have been great tumults at Barcelona in Spain, and blood has been shed by the populace.
The Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel has put all his subjects in a state of requisition.
The French privateers continue to be successful in capturing English vessels. Thirteen sail of vessels were reported in one day at Lloyd's Coffee-House, as taken by the French: the property of them valued at 100,000. sterling, was insured; but the fact does little honor to the victorious fleet of the English; or rather the Minister who manages that fleet.
A London paper makes merry with the English for their alarm about Jacobinism; by stating that an eminent Dentist has lately been examined by the Privy Council on a charge of procuring the teeth of French Sans Culottes and transplanting them into the jaws of his majesty's liege subjects—thus planting the trees of liberty in their very jaw bones. This, if true, seems to be a practice of cramming Jacobinism down their throats in spite of their teeth.
The Elector of Coblentz or Trier has directed his moveables to be packed up, ready to march at a moment's warning.

O'er burning sands, deep waves, or scolds

Great HOWARD journeying seeks the

Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank:
To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring
bone,
And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan;
—Onward he moves!—Disease and death
retire,
And moan'ring demons bate him, and ad-
mire.

Extract 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 ri- gidity separated both from the slightest ap- proach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than im- itated. The art of amusing child en, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is rais- ed and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the uti- lity of such an undertaking is acknowledg- ed, 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 the remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature.
"Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valu- able substitute (where such may be prefer- red) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author."

Twenty Dollars Reward.
MY Saddle Mare was stolen from Wye Mill, Talbot County, Maryland, on the night of the 30th of August last. She is black, and supposed to be ten or twelve years old, under fourteen hands high, com- pact and handsome, branded with the let- ter O, on the left shoulder, a handsome star on her forehead, a large full eye the neckcrest fallen, a flat buttock, her fore foot turns in, and one of them white; she racks, trots and canters, has good spirits, and goes very pleasantly. If taken up out of the state, I will give the above reward of twenty dollars and all reasonable charges, if within the state and thirty miles from Wye Mill, eight dollars and reason- able charges, and if a shorter distance in proportion, to any person who will deliver her to the Subscriber at the mill.
