NATIONAL CONVENTION. July 12.
Letter from Laurent, Commissioner from the Convention to the Committee of Safety, dated the 22d Messidor, July 10, 1794.
I shall set out this evening for Brussels... I have found some very pleasant employments... To-morrow six hundred thousand livres in specie will be sent off from Brussels... I have just established a Popular Society... The pecuniary mass thus collected will be augmented by a fine on the Abbeys and Priories in the environs...
Barrere.—The punishment of the Emigrants is not confined to those taken at Mons by the troops of the Republic. The following facts have reached us from N export, and are dated at that place, 15th Messidor, July 7, at six in the morning:
"In endeavoring to get off in two small boats, we attacked them (the Emigrants) with musketry: they would, however, have escaped us, had it not been for two pieces of artillery, with which we kept them in the middle of the canal. The poor devils in the boats threw themselves into the water, to swim back to Nieuport, inasmuch as but few of them kept their station. We killed 50 and took 15. Having asked those we made prisoners, to what nation they belonged, they refused to reply; recollecting, however, as they were naked, that their cloaths might give us some intelligence, we paid a visit to the boats, and there found red uniforms, with buttons having the inscription, Royal Emigre. In the pocket of each coat, we found a title and brevet. We calculated that 300 Emigrants perished yesterday by the musket, and by drowning."
Barrere continued—"I now lay before you official letters from Brussels. You will see in them that the two armies have had no respite, and that while they have been constantly engaged, the burning of this season served only to augment their courage. What has not the Republic to hope from such citizens?" Applauses.
STOCKHOLM, July 8.
This day the Duke Regent sets out with the King from this capital. They go to visit the Duke at Dalecarlia; and a provisional Government has been appointed during their absence, consisting of his royal highness Frederick, Adolphus, Duke of Ostrogothia, brother to the regent, and five other persons. It is said they would not have gone to Dalecarlia had not the court sent an invitation to that place to the regent, agreeably to a clause in the late King's will, cannot leave Sweden during the young King's minority.
A Chaplain in the army has been apprehended, and examined before the Privy Council, for having in a most infamous and abominable letter, Baron Rosenholm, a member of the Riksdag, accusing him of being guilty of a crime against the King. This criminal's name is Thylenius, he is amazingly bold, and gives the most insolent answers.
July 12. Thylenius, who wrote a letter to Baron Rosenholm full of seditious expressions against the Duke Regent and the King, has been examined by the criminal tribunal, and the Attorney-General has already repented that the delinquent ought to suffer death. The Attorney-General has advised the following punishment for Baron Rosenholm: that Thylenius should forfeit his life and property, and his name should be fixed on a pillory under the principal cities of Sweden, by the hand of the common hangman, with this inscription, "A traitor to his country." The sentence of the Aulic Tribunal will shortly appear in print. The King and Duke Regent are at Falun, in Dalecarlia, where country has Majesty visited by order of the Duke Regent, to acquaint himself with his subjects and their necessities, and to inspect the loyalty of the inhabitants of that province.
The Russian Grand Fleet has certainly failed, and a part of the galley fleet of that nation is also in the harbor of Sveaborg, ready to sail. We are, however, very quiet here, owing to the declaration received from Petersburg, and by Count Romanzow, the Russian ambassador. Our court is also quiet on the Russian frontier, on the land side.
PLYMOUTH, Aug. 15.
This evening failed the Alfreed and Bellona, of 74 guns each; Seven, of 44 guns, and Carysfort frigate, with the outward bound West-India and Streights fleets under convoy, amounting to upwards of 150 sail. The Royal Captain and La Belleche East-India ships failed at the same time.
Admiral Macbride's squadron remain at anchor in the Sound, also the Diamond frigate.
POOLE, August 15.
A Mary Tonkin, who was taken in the Hampden Packet, Captain Dashwood, in the month of April last, from Lisbon bound to Falmouth and carried into Brest, where she was put into a hospital being then ill, and there remained until the 5th of this month, when she found means to effect her escape, by concealing herself in the corn holds, and at night getting on board an American vessel, was landed here yesterday morning.
When she left Brest, there was 18 sail of the line in Brest Water, ready for sea, some of which had been out on a cruise since the Engagement of the 1st of June. She also says, that when she left Brest, there were about 200 English Merchantmen that had been captured during the war.
The report was, that this Fleet was destined for the Mediterranean to relieve those blockaded up by Lord Hood; after that there was another report, that their destination was to intercept the Indians that were in Ireland, as they had certain information of their being in Galway Bay.
Lady Anne Fitzroy, who was taken in the same packet, was removed from Brest about 20 miles, with some other Ladies, but they were in good health, and used very well.
COWES, (Ise of Wight,) July 25.
About two o'clock this morning, came to anchor in this road the Betty of London, Gibson, late master, from Jamaica. She parted from her convoy in the Gulph of Florida, and was captured the 20th inst. off the Lizard, by l'Unite, French frigate, in company with the Thames, 3 other frigates, and a corvette.
Capt. Gibson, and his crew except the mate, carpenter, cook, a boy, and Mrs. Williams, a passenger, were taken out of the Betty by the Frenchmen, and a Lieutenant and 13 men put on board to take charge of the prize.
On the 23d in the evening, the ship being driven by heavy gales of wind in sight of Guernsey, a plot was laid for securing the Frenchmen, and to retake the ship. On Miller's the mate suggesting it to Mrs. Williams, she instantly fainted, sensible, it is to be presumed, that if the scheme failed, every soul would be put to death.
Recovering in a short time her composure, she went to the mate, and, with heroism unparalleled, actually engaged to assist in the execution of the project. At eleven o'clock at night, when the Lieutenant was asleep in his birth, and others of the French were asleep between decks, in the fore part of the ship, the signal was given, and Mrs. Williams kept her resolution, by locking the Lieutenant's door, and then standing with her back against it to prevent its being forced: In the mean time while the Frenchmen on deck were thrust down the hatchway by the three men, and threatened with death if they made any attempt to get up. Providence favoring their efforts with
a fine breeze from the S.W. in twelve hours they cast anchor in this port. Mrs. Williams in the position, when relieved by a boat's crew, who went on board, of holding a pistol to the cabin door. Thus, by the exertions of a spirited woman, and three brave fellows, have the proprietors and underwriters, miraculously recovered a ship and cargo worth 20,000l.
DUBLIN, July 24.
Tuesday Alexander M'Dowall and William M'Dowall, late Deputy-Keepers of the New Prison, were arraigned in the King's Bench, on an indictment for having, on the first day of May last, feloniously permitted the escape of Archibald Hamilton Rowan, from the goal of Newgate, where he had been sentenced, by the Court of King's Bench, on the 7th of February last, to remain imprisoned for the space of two years from the 29th of January 1794, for having distributed seditious libels.
After a frigid examination of evidence, who were Mr. Sheriff Jenkin, Mr. Tresham Gregg, and the Serjeant of the Guard on duty at the prison that night the Jury brought in their verdict, Guilty.
July 28.
A most desperate and alarming species of kidnapping has for some weeks been practiced in this City, for the avowed purpose, of populating Upper Canada.
There are now two vessels in the bay from that Province, on board of which many women and children have been conveyed. The Agents employed in this business, give four guineas for each child, and twenty for every woman under thirty five. The populace are so much incensed that every woman who is seen with a bundle or a child is searched and examined, and many who have been suspected of having sold their children, beaten, and, in two or three instances dragged through the Liffey.
A few days since, some suspicious looking fellows were watched to a cellar, in Barrack street. The mob collected; and broke open the doors when they found twenty-seven children, who were that night to have embarked for America.
Steps have been taken to prevent this very improper commerce.
LONDON, July 28.
Several counterfeit guineas (gilt) are now in circulation, and to a great amount suppressed or detected in Liverpool; they bear the date of 1781. The two last figures are somewhat bruised, and near the head is a round mark, which has the appearance of a plug; the resemblance proves real a little attention will discover. The guinea weighs three penny weights five grains.
July 29.
There has been hitherto no official account published, of the late defeat of the allies on the Rhine. The foreign gazettes only mention the circumstance, without entering into much detail. Private letters however state, that the action lasted several days successively; that on the first attack the French were repulsed; but they brought down such a torrent of fresh troops, day after day, that it was impossible to stand against them. Both parties fought with determined bravery, and the carnage on both sides must have been immense. The French are said to have given no quarter. We anxiously wait for farther particulars by the mail now due: but it is evident, from the numbers of the French, that they must have joined by the reinforcements they had drafted from their armies in Italy.
The funds rose yesterday, one per cent.
Letters from Italy mention, that some of the Italian States are rising in a mass, to oppose the French.
July 30.
Yesterday Earl Howe took leave of the Commissioners of the Admiralty on his departure to take upon him the command of the Grand Fleet.
Lord George Seymour, Colonel Barry, and several other officers of Lord Moira's staff, arrived yesterday in the packet from Holland.
From Constantinople we learn that on the 2d of June, the Captain Pacha failed from thence with seven ships of the line; six frigates and some small vessels: he was to receive further orders at Bosphorus. Sir K. Ainslie, the British Ambassador, had his last audience of the Grand Seigneur on the 7th.
A good understanding subsisted between Russia and the Porte at that period. The malcontents of Belgrade were still in force, and had levied a contribution at Rodosto, near the capital.
According to information from Peterburgh, numbers of suspected persons had been arrested there, four of whom had arrived under Italian names, and were possessed of a great deal of money.
The King of Prussia has found fighting against the Poles so much more pleasant, as well as profitable, than fighting against the French, that it is thought the Emperor will be tempted to imitate his example. It is even said that he has already ordered 6,000 men, under the command of General Schultz, to enter the Polish territory. Nothing indeed, can equal the magnanimity of our allies, but their good faith.
According to letters from Vienna, the people there with anxiety for the termination of the war which has produced nothing but the ruin of Imperial armies, loss of territory, and increase of debts and taxes.
August 16.
Yesterday, about two o'clock, a very melancholy accident happened in Johnson's court Chancery. A genteel young man was taken to a Recruiting Officer there, belonging to the East India Company, to be enlisted; and upon attempting to make his escape his hands were tied behind his back, and in that situation he was put into a garret, where he was not many minutes before he jumped from the window, and was instantly killed upon the spot. This circumstance very naturally attracted the attention of passengers, and presently a crowd was collected, who fired by indignation, attacked the rendezvous of the Crump who had trepaned the unfortunate young man, and proceeded to pull down the house, which they completely effected. The crowd became so great and riotous, that a Detachment of the Horse Guards was called in, who were parading the street at twelve o'clock last night at which time the mob was not dispersed.
This morning early a Mob collected about the place, and attacked the house from whence the unfortunate young man had thrown himself into the street. The populace proceeded to gut the house, throwing the furniture out at the windows. The street was covered with feathers from the beds which were torn to pieces; they were proceeding to demolish an adjoining house, when the military were called in, and at ten this morning several Officer's Detachments both of Horse and Foot were parading the streets at Charing-Cross, at which time a number of spectators were still assembled.
The state prisoners, confined in Newgate, as appears by the Kalender, are committed by his Grace the Duke of Dorset, and other Lords of his Majesty's Privy Council, upon suspicion of high treason. Those in the Tower are committed upon charges of high treason.
Whoever considers the importance to this country of its leather manufactures, cannot see without great pleasure, every attempt to improve them. To render leather water proof, has long engaged the talents of ingenious men; and though some individuals have accomplished it, yet, having secured the monopoly of their invention by patent, the public can, at present, reap but little benefit from their labours. The Chev. de St. Real has, however, it seems, (in the Repertory of Arts and Manufactures,) published to the world a mode of doing it, so cheap and simple, as to afford rational hopes of great advantage.
The mail from Holland, received this morning, confirms, in a great measure, some of the late accounts.—By this channel it does not appear that there has been any massacre; but that Robespierre, Couthon, and the rest of his party were accused on the 27th ult. by Barrere, Tallien, and Collot D'Herbois, of tyrannical proceedings, condemned to the guillotine, and very quietly executed on the same day. And as an instance of the previous uninterrupted order of that horrid form of government still existing, no less than 135 persons were condemned on the 25th, 26th, and 27th, by the revolutionary tribunal; among whom was the celebrated Baron Trenck, in the 70th year of his age.
According to the advices received by government, Tallien is at the head of this new order of tyrants.—It is also certain that a great number of persons have been massacred, besides those who fell under the revolutionary axe of the guillotine. The confusion of the free metropolis of Paris is yet inconceivable.
The representatives of the people at Brussels have issued a proclamation to this effect:
"That the nobles, ecclesiastics, religious houses, and the privileged persons of the city of Brussels, shall pay to the French a contribution of five millions in specie, which shall be paid within twenty-four hours, otherwise hostages shall be taken, even from among the magistrates."
Another proclamation is to this effect:—"That as the markets at Brussels are ill furnished, under pretext of the circulation of assignats, and different persons have suspended their traffic on the same account, the Commune which furnish the Brussels markets with grain, and other articles, are ordered to pro-
vide them as formerly, without making any distinction about assignats, under pain, with respect to persons who may refuse them at par, of being reputed enemies to the Republic, and conducted to France to be punished as such. It has been ordered likewise, under the same penalty, that such as have shut up their shops, &c. do open them again immediately."
SPEECH of Citizen BARRERE, In the sitting of the National Convention, on the 20th July.
Public corruptors attempt to spoil the morality of the people; they speak of peace to paralyze the Revolutionary Government, that fine and terrible institution, to which we ought to attribute our victories, which has delivered the Republican soil from factions, which has banished famine, which consolidates the Republic, and secures the liberty of the human race. Political forms seem to be preparing, their symptoms appear the more striking to the two committees which receive the news at home and from abroad. We learn that there are commotions ready to burst forth in the Sections and the Popular Societies. Your committees have taken measures. The enemies of Liberty wish to vent their despair, their vices and crimes upon Paris; but the Republic shall triumph at Paris, as it does elsewhere.
Extract of a letter from Breda, Aug. 8.
"Every thing is quiet in camp. The heavy baggage is just arrived. The deputy Quarter-Master General, with the commandant of the Engineers (Captain Johnson and Lieutenant Robe of the artillery) this evening went to reconnoitre the Sandhill near the encampment, to determine on the properest place for making batteries for the defence of the camp; which indicates our remaining here for some time. Magazines of forage are forming for the British troops at Gertuydenberg and Gorcum."
According to letters received on Wednesday from the British army, of a later date by two days than those brought in the mail, we learn, that the citadel, as well as the town of Liege, is in possession of the Austrians; and that the French are fallen back to some distance. This circumstance considered, with the retreat of the French army of the Rhine, towards their own frontiers, seems to denote something more than has yet transpired. It is certain that the allied armies have recrossed the Rhine.
The garrison of Treves has been reinforced by 8000 Austrians.
A French General Officer of artillery, and five of his staff, have been at Genoa, and afterwards proceeded to Loano, which, as well as Oneglia, has been reinforced. From Vingtimiglia, it appears, that 15,000 French had passed that way to take post between Limona and Cuneo.
Extract of a letter from Plymouth, August 11.
This morning the Jane fishing smack, Captain Paillet, belonging to this port, returned here from Morlaix, to which place she sailed from hence on Friday last, with Capt. Renaudin late of Le Vengeur (sunk during the late glorious action the 1st of June,) and a young Frenchman who has resided in this town for near three years past, both of whom were landed yesterday morning at five o'clock.—The Jane got sight of the French land on Saturday evening, but the Captain would not go on shore till morning, fearful lest he should fall in with the Royalists, who are in force in the neighbourhood of Roseau.
"Captain Paillet was on shore at Morlaix for about two hours, where the inhabitants seemed to be in the highest spirits; but the Capt. of the Vengeur recommended him not to tarry longer, as the Municipality would be acquainted with his being on shore, and might probably detain him perhaps a day or two.—He accordingly took the hint, went immediately on board and put to sea."
"The Jane was boarded about half channel over, on her passage to Morlaix, by a French sloop of war, who was cruising in conceit with two others; but on finding the Captain of Le Vengeur on board, they wished him a good voyage, and proceeded on their cruise."
"Captain Paillet reports, that there are at Morlaix and Roseau near twenty gun-boats, rigged as Schooners, with a small mizen-mast, on which is occasionally hoisted a lug sail; they were originally large ships, and have been cut down for the purpose of gun-boats, each of them being in their present state about 200 tons, and carrying two 24 pounders on the forecastle, and four 24 pounders

on their quarter, and navigated with- between 60 and 70 men. One gun-boat of the above description was in compa- ny with the sloop of war which the Jane fell in with on her passage over, and both the sloop and gun-boat were standing to the westward.
The Captain of the Vengeur is exchanged for Capt. Cates, of the Thames frigate. During his passage to, and at Morlaix, he behaved in the most polite manner to Capt. Paillet and his crew.
All along the French coast, the husbandmen are getting in their harvest, which appears to be very plentiful.
An armed brig was sent from Mor- laix to escort the Jane across the chan- nel, and about mid-channel she parted from her, and stood away for France. The Jane came on to this port without any other particular circumstance oc- curring.
Extract of a letter from Copenhagen, da- ted July 28.
According to the latest informa- tion from the East sea, the Russian fleet were lying in the Road of Revel, tho' a few ships were cruising at a small dis- tance. Sweden, it is said, is to lend us 2000 sailors towards completing the number required for our fleet.
ADMIRALTY OFFICE, Aug. 16. Copy of a letter from the hon. capt. Paget, of his majesty's ship Romney, to Captain Montgomery, of the Inconstant, dated in Miconi Bay, June 18, 1794.
I beg leave to acquaint you, that yester- day morning on my passage between the islands of Tino and Miconi (in his ma- jesty's ship Romney, under my command, and the convoy I had the honor of re- ceiving charge of from you the preceding day) I discovered a frigate, under the na- tional colours and a broad pendant, at an- chor in the shore, with three merchant- men. Judging the convoy to be in perfect safety, as you was in sight from the mast- head, I made the signal for them to make the best of their way towards you, hauled my wind, and came to an anchor in Mi- coni Road, within a little more than a cable's length of the French Commodore. I immediately sent to him to desire he would strike his colours, and to surrender to his Britannic majesty, or that I should fire into him. He sent me for answer, that he was well acquainted with the force of my ship, that he was well prepared for me both with men and ammunition, and that he had made oath never to strike his colours. By this time he had placed his ship between me and the town of Miconi, which obliged me to carry out another an- chor, and warp the ship further a-head, that my guns might point clear of the town. At one P. M. I got a-breast of him, and, having secured the ship with springs on the cables, I gave him a broad- side, which he instantly returned. The action lasted, without a moment's inter- mission, for one hour and fourteen minutes, when I had the satisfaction of seeing the national colours hauled down, and of tak- ing possession of her and the merchant- men. She proved to be La Sybille, of for- ty-six guns, and four hundred and thirty men, commanded by Commodore Ron- deaux. I have sent on board, to take command of her, Mr. Brubane, first lieu- t. of the Romney, a officer of most distingui- shed merit, whom I beg leave to recommend in the strongest manner, and whose very cool, gallant behavior, and prompt obe- dience to my orders during the action, as well Lieutenants Field and O'Bryan, Mr. Patterson the master, and all the other of- ficers, with the ship's company, I cannot sufficiently commend.
I am sorry to conclude with informing you, that I had eight seamen killed in the action, and thirty wounded, two of whom are since dead.
La Sybille had fifty-five killed, including the second Lieut. and Captain of Marines, and one hundred and three wounded, nine of whom are since dead.
August 1. It is a circumstance curious enough, that Barrere should quote in the Convention from an English newspaper. For the credit of the paper however, well affected to government it should be known, that the paper he quoted from, was the Jacobin Chronicle.
Though Lord Macartney's embassy may not have succeeded to the full extent which was proposed when it was undertaken, yet as we observed, our objects have been attained, that will amply repay the trouble and expence —That he has not succeeded to the full extent is to be imputed solely to the present state of Europe, of which the Mandarines had heard; and the very idea of the fashionable doctrines of France, has revived all that jealousy which they have heretofore entertained of Euro- peans.
The celebrated M. D'Espresmenil, cover- ed with wounds by the Mar. Hoos, whom Pe- tion had brought to Paris for the purpose of accomplishing the Revolution of the 10th of August, said to the Mayor, who was then at the zenith of his power and popular favour, and seemed to commiserate his situation—'I too have been idolized by the people, they have also carried me about in triumph, &c.
These words have been prophetic, with respect to Pétion's fate, whose body has been lately found near Leghorn, half eaten up by worms.
Twenty-one officers belonging to the French fleet detained by Earl Howe, have been put to death at Brest, for cowardice on that occa- sion.
COSTEHOUT, August 8. The Duke of York's head-quarters are at present at this village—the army
occupies a bleak heath crossing the road from Breda to Dange; the right to- wards this place, and the left towards the village of Molshoit. Our relative situation to the Dutch army renders this a position of some advantage, but we labour under the inconvenience of a want of water, which we are en- deavouring to remedy by sinking wells.
The ground we now occupy was a position of Dumourier. We are not much above two miles from Breda, from whence, and this place together, our army is pretty well supplied with provi- sions.
Our heavy baggage has been ordered back from Bois-le-Duc—a circumstance that induces us to conclude we are to remain here for some time at least.
We hear indeed, that the National Convention has given orders to Piche- gru, for the immediate siege of Breda, which may probably keep us here to cover that place till it is in a complete state of defence, which the Dutch are now effecting with all possible dispatch. Every thing is prepared for laying the surrounding country under water, which can be done at pleasure, to a very con- siderable depth.
The enemy, we hear this morning are in considerable force at Achtenbroek and its vicinity, a place about half way between us and Antwerp; but their chief force is towards Maastricht and Liege.
We have assisted in garrisoning Ber- gen op-Zoom, where we have left a British Regiment, and some Hessian Cavalry.
Since we came upon this ground, a good deal of rain has fallen, this is in favour of the inundations. Our men continue healthy, and in good spirits; our cavalry likewise are in good condi- tions; and fortunately in our present po- sition, from the openness of the country, they could be brought to act with great effect. If the French are determined to lay siege to Breda, they must first attack this army, and every thing on our part seems to induce a disposition to wait for such an event.
Eight o'clock, P. M. His Royal Highness the commander in chief, has received an Etsafette from the Prince of Sax Cobourg, recom- mending it to his Royal Highness to re- main in his present position.
UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, October 7. The publishers of a work in England called "The Female Jockey Club, or a sketch of the manners of the age," have been prosecuted for publishing a false and defamatory libel on Lady Elizabeth Dut- trell, and found guilty.
At the close of July the subscriptions for the relief of the wounded seamen and the widows of seamen killed in the late naval engagement, amounted nearly to sixteen thousand pounds sterling.
A subscription is on foot for the relief of the sufferers by the late fire at Ratcliff.
The East India Company, lost, in the late fire 20,000 bags of salt petre.
No country can exhibit such rapid im- provements, as the United States have furnished since the establishment of the na- tional government. One of the first ef- forts of American industry, after the war, was the scheme of opening a naviga- ble canal at the falls of Patomack; and our first citizen, the President of the union, became the patron of the arts of peace as he had been the hero of his country in war. That great work is nearly accom- plished, and as a passage for boats is ex- tended within a few miles of the navigable waters on the west of the Allegany.
A similar plan for opening the naviga- tion of Connecticut River, at Hadley falls above Springfield, is in great forwardness. A beginning is already made, or will soon be made, to effect a similar plan at Bellow's falls.
In Massachusetts, measures are taken to effect a junction of the waters of the Mer- rimack, with those of Charles River.
The plan of opening a communication between the Schuylkill and the Delaware, and connecting the waters of the interior of Pennsylvania, is in a state of progression.
Measures have been taken to open a communication of the Hudson with the Mohawk and the lakes on the west, and with Lake Champlain on the north—and we have no doubt that a business of such immense magnitude will be carried thro' every obstacle.
If we examine the bridges of Boston, Salem, Newburyport and Haverhill and in New-Jersey; if we attend to the Cot- ton Machinery of New-Haven, New- York, Paterson, Beverly, &c. with the manufactures of duck, cards, nails &c. we shall be astonished at the enterprize and industry of our countrymen; as well as that sudden rise of capital from the funding of our debts, and the establishment of credit. Men who attend to these things, will admire and cherish our government.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 4.
We understand that at the meeting of Parkinson's Ferry, on Thursday last, there was a perfect unanimity for sub- mission to the laws, and it was the op- inion of the delegates that in their res- pective townships there was a general disposition to submission.
William Findley and David Reddick are appointed to wait on the President of the United States and the Governor of Pennsylvania, with a copy of the res- olutions, and to explain to government the present state of this country, and de- tail such circumstances as may enable the President to judge whether an armed force be now necessary to support the civil authority in these counties.
NEW-HAVEN, October 8. The Committee to make weekly re- port of deaths and the state of sickness in this city, certify, That the following persons have died since their last report, viz.

PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 10.
The Serious Pantomime of the Dan- ides, composed by M. Queinet, and which was represented with great ap- plause on Wednesday night, is to be performed again this evening. The Scenery of this piece is grand, and the graceful action of Madam Gardie and M. Queinet, render it highly interest- ing.
Captain Swaine, of the ship Atlantic, on the 6th of September, in lat. 47, long. 25, fell in with the British ship Vengeance, of 74 guns, and 17 sail under her convoy, bound to England from St. Kitts, from whence they failed with several ships of war, and a fleet of 200 sail of merchantmen, from which they had been separated by a gale of wind. The lieutenant of the Vengeance informed, that the crews of the fleet were in general healthy. On the 10th spoke the brig Martha, out 42 days from Amsterdam, bound to Boston.
Mr. FENNO, The following I have just received from London, if thee thinks it merits a place in thy paper, please to publish it—Thy friend E. B.
Extract of a letter from London, to a merchant in this City.
"I hope the blessing of peace will be continued between our country and yours, and that nothing will ever inter- rupt it.
I hope there is still wisdom enough
left in this nation, to accommodate the points at present in dispute, and that it will not be too hasty to retract. I always see in our Newspapers with particular pleasure, the mild and paci- fic disposition of your great President, whose conduct shines a bright example to surrounding nations—I do not he- sitate in pronouncing him the greatest man the present age has produced."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in the army, to his son in this city, dated Carlisle, October 7th, (Camp.)
"This morning we received accounts that the Whiskey-Boys were preparing to meet us at Bedford, with their Hars under their Arms, to ask the President's Pardon, and become good subjects in future."
For the Gazette of the United States.
REALLY, Mr. Fenno, I cannot but congratulate you upon the progress of your brilliant Gazette. The Electioneering pa- ragraphs in your paper of Monday begin the week in fine style. The invention of Mr. B's printing office was a good one; the Resolutions excellent; the Court of Justice admirably introduced; the epitaph on Maris's squirrel all of a piece. But can you really believe such perfect nonsense will indeed pass on your customers or the public? If you do, you must have form- ed but a poor opinion of them during your residence among us. No, No, Sir, all this will not do. The Candidates are be- fore the public. They know how to esti- mate their abilities and their service; they will choose for themselves and will not be gulled by such trash, as really is a dilige- nce only to the heads and the hearts of those who promulge it.
REMARK. It is a proverb known long since, "Touch a gall'd horse & he will wince." If from the mirror you appear, More hideous than you tho't you were, The Printer surely ought to pass, He made not—only held the glass.
Married last evening by the Rev. Dr. JOHN EWING, Mr. WILLIAM DA- VIDSON, to Miss ANN EWING, both of this city.
The modest Editor of the General Advertiser is informed that there was no reference to his paper of yester- day, in the article in last evening's Ga- zette, respecting the only London pa- per of 16th August—on the informa- tion of a gentleman well qualified to judge, what was supposed to be a fact, was asserted. No idea of Rivalship in relation to the General Advertiser, was entertained on the occasion—this pub- lication never was, is not, and never shall be a rival to the General Adver- tiser.
A General Meeting of the citi- zens is requested TO-MORROW Even- ing, at six o'clock at the City Hall, to take into consideration and fix upon suitable persons to form a ticket for the ensuing election. October 10.
The Observations of X. Y. on Popular Clubs, or Societies, have been to much anticipated by a recent re-publi- cation in this Gazette, as to render their insertion unnecessary.

ST. HELENA.
GENERAL ORDER.
England being at war with France, this is not a time for disputes between British sub- jects: none of them can quarrel now but af- fairs—I make it public therefore, that I am determined to see the laws put in execution as every good man would wish, and to have every bad man who disturbs the peace here, brought before a court of jury, let him wear what he will; and if any further disturbance arises between soldiers and sailors I shall, contrary to my inclination, put a stop to all intercourse between them, and keep the latter from coming inside the gates. By this means, wherever they meet, should show that love and affection to each other, that God and nature directs. At all events, they shall not quarrel here with impunity.

THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, BY J. ORMROND, (Price 75 Cents) At Franklin's Head, No. 41, Chesnut Street, A VIEW of the Life, Travels and Philan- thropic Labours, of the late JOHN HOWARD, Esq. L. L. D. F. R. S.

By JOHN AIKEN, M. D. To which is joined an ODE inscribed to John Howard, by William Hayley, Esq.
FROM realm to realm, with cros or e'resent crown'd, Where' mankind and misery are found, O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Great HOWARD journeying seeks the house of woe, Down many a winding step to dungeons dank, Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank: No 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 murm'ring demons bate him, and ad- mire.

Select Stories,

From the French of M. Berquin.
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 rigid- ly 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 children, 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 acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem."
"Happily such is the agreeable versatili- ty of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature."
"Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volumes, which, it is hoped, will be thought a val- uable substitute (where such may be prefer- red) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author."
At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be had the following

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 neck erect fallen, a flat buttock, her fore foot turns in, and, 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.

Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers only, on moderate terms, and at a long credit.
The soil is remarkably fertile, and nu- merous streams of water are interspersed through the whole country.
The main river flows through one tract of about thirty thousand acres, and is with the exception of one obstruction, naviga- ble to the Susquehannah.
Spring Brook Creek, which with its branches, waters another tract of about forty thousand acres of good Land, empties itself into the Lachawannock about twelve miles from the Susquehannah.
It affords numerous Mill seats, & in its course creates large bodies of well water- ed meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks of considerable importance.
Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, to- wards the most convenient markets.
The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the set- tlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the com- munication to the city.
Another means of connection with Phila- delphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own in- terest with that of the inhabitants, are dis- posed to erect works of public utility, open roads, &c. and in every en miles square, a tract of one hundred acres is allotted for a School, and one hundred acres for the first resident clergyman of any denomination of Christians.
For further particulars apply to George Eddy. Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, July 9.
Letters directed to George Eddy, at Phi- ladelphia, or this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eod3m
