Lachawannock.
A LARGE body of LAND on this river and its waters, is now for sale to Settlers on moderate terms, and at a long credit. The soil is remarkably fertile, and numerous 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, navigable 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 watered meadow ground.
The other tracts are intersected by creeks or of considerable importance. Several Mills are already erected for the accommodation of the Settlers.
Roads are cut in different directions, towards the most convenient markets. The county town is not more than 12 miles distant from many parts of the settlement.
The Susquehannah affords an easy and safe navigation to Middletown, from whence the Canal to Schuylkill extends the communication to the city.
Another means of connection with Philadelphia, is by the Delaware, from which the distance in several places is about thirty miles.
The proprietors combining their own interest with that of the inhabitants, are disposed to erect works of public utility, open woods, &c. and in every one mile 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 Philadelphia, or this place, or to Thomas Eddy, at New York, relative to this business, will be duly answered.

Christiana Mills For Sale.
ON Monday the first day of September next at 8 o'clock in the evening, at the Coffee House in the city of Philadelphia will be sold by public vendue, two tracts or pieces of land situated in White Clay Creek hundred, New Castle county and state of Delaware; one of which contains about sixty acres of highly improved land, on it is a large two story brick dwelling house, a convenient brick barn, with stabling and a carriage house underneath, an excellent kiln for drying corn; and the well known mills called Christiana Mills (late Paterson's) which being at the head of the tidon on Christiana river, and but about half a mile from the landing, is conveniently situated for carrying the articles manufactured at the mills by water to Philadelphia—This property being close to the road leading from Elkton to Christiana bridge, and at the head of the tide, with many other attendant advantages, render its situation for the milling business to very valuable, as to be equalled by few and excelled by none.
The latter tract containing 175 acres, is about one mile from the mills and is chiefly woodland, which being contiguous to water carriage to the city of Philadelphia, must be of increasing value, especially as there is a quantity of large timber in said tract suitable for the purposes of the mills.

No. 118, Market Street, AN IMPARTIAL HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION;
From its Commencement to the execution of the QUEEN and the DEPUTIES of the Gironde Party
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 to that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly presented, but every censureable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colours. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither Tory nor republican—they love liberty as English whigs, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered or disgraced.
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be accepted by the zealots of either party. But when time shall have dispelled the clouds of political deception, and appeared the tumul-
tual of the passions, they will with some confidence expect the verdict from public opinion, which and moderation seldom fail to receive.

UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 3.
It is a little surprising that officers of armies should attempt to make the world believe impossibilities and contradictions. In the account of the loss of the allied armies on the 22d May, the Austrians are said to have lost 100 men—the Hanoverians 500—and the British 150. Yet in the same account, it is stated that one brigade alone was cut down to two thirds of a regiment. If the whole of Pichegru's force (from 60 to 90 thousand men) was in action 15 hours an army of nearly equal numbers to oppose that force—and the action was the most desperate and bloody that has been fought, we should be glad to know how it happens that so few men were killed. It is an attempt at imposition that detects itself.
The Duke of York in his address to the army, the day after the battle, laments the loss they sustained, but flatters himself the survivors feel in some measure compensated by the credit they have gained: This is a new kind of calculation. How the honor a soldier acquires will compensate for the loss of friends in battle we pretend not to decide; but we very much question whether the credit gained by the surviving half of an army will repair the loss of the other half. This mode of comforting the poor war-worn soldier however reminds us of a certain American officer, who, after the loss of a detachment of men under Major Wyllys at the Miami Village, encouraged his army with this consoling reflection, that though our loss was much greater than that of the Indians, yet we could well spare two for one.
By the debates in Parliament, it is rendered difficult to solve the question of Lord Dorchester's speech. Lord Grenville and Mr. Dundas unequivocally disavow any knowledge of it and declare it not to be authorized by any instructions from the ministry. Some people even in this country have suspected it to be a forgery: yet Simcoe's proceedings in Upper Canada and at the Miami, countervail such suspicions.
There are some circumstances respecting the origin of the speech which have not yet been investigated. It is said that the speech came to New-York in manuscript, and was first published in this city; and it is asked, how it came here—who brought it? Was it ever published in the papers in Canada? Who was present at the Indian Council when the talk was delivered!
On the other hand, to prove the speech genuine, it is asked, why has not Lord Dorchester publicly disavowed it; if not genuine? Why have not his friends taken pains to vindicate his character; if it suffers unjustly, and to detect the forgery? In short, do we not see the spirit and design of the speech carried into effect by Governor Simcoe's aggressions. On these points we pass no decision; it being our business fairly to state facts, and leave the public to form conclusions from the premises.
American Minerva.
The following short account of the transactions in the Convention of France, is extracted principally from the Leyden Gazette.
After the ruin of the Brissotines, the ruling party in the Convention was again split into two parties—that of Hebert, and that of Danton and La Croix. Robespierre, with his friends Barrere and Couthon, was a popular leader and the object of jealousy with both parties. Both feared him, and it was some time doubtful on which side Robespierre would range himself. But with consummate skill and dissimulation, he formed and executed a plan to rid of himself of both parties. His first step was to effect a reconciliation with Danton, and the Paris papers informed us of the issue, which was a fraternal embrace before the Convention. But Danton was deceived, he took a traitor to even his bosom, and Robespierre meant only to make Danton and his party the instruments of cutting off Hebert and his band, and then he supposed himself strong enough to take off Danton's party also. Robespierre and Danton united in bringing Hebert to the Guillotine, and within six days after the execution of Hebert, Robespierre had caused Danton and his party to be arrested. Legendre was alarmed at this rapid succession of arrests, and moved that Danton and his party might be brought to the bar, and hear the charges against them. Robespierre, with an imperious assumed air, like that which Cromwell assumed when he dispersed the Parliament that had been the instrument of his elevation, declared that such a motion was dangerous, and little short of treason against the Republic.
The menacing speech of Robespierre hushed all opposition—The convention were struck dumb—Legendre's motion was rejected—and St. Just announced Danton's crime to be "a wish to destroy liberty under the pretext of indulgence—that his conduct for five years had been only one tissue of intrigues and conspiracies, the least of which was, to have preached moderation and the return of legal order. In vain said St. Just, have they advocated clemency—be inflexible, indulgence would be cruelty." Immediately the Convention passed a decree of accusation.
In this manner—Hebert on the one hand, and Danton on the other, being totally crushed, Robespierre and his friends were left masters of France. The committee of Public Safety, by the suppression of the Provisional Executive Council, became the most absolute court in Europe. The supreme court of Criminal Justice, called the Revolutionary Tribunal, the convention and the Committee of Public Safety, are now under all one direction—a few leaders have engrossed and centered in themselves all legislative, judicial and executive powers, which Mr. Jefferson says, Notes on Virginia, page 105. Lord Edw. "is precisely the definition of despotic government."
People therefore who suppose La Fayette, Roland, Brissot, Hebert, and Danton to have been traitors to their country, are probably mistaken; they have only been traitors to their rivals in the convention. When two rivals contend for power, the one that falls is always a traitor—the one who succeeds is the patriot. Should Robespierre and Barrere quarrel, the one who can best manage the people, will crush his rival and he will make them believe the victim of private jealousy a traitor to the Republic. And such an event is by no means improbable. Should it take place in a few months, we should not be surprised.
The history of faction is checkered with a great variety of incidents; but the important facts always result from the same principles the passions of the human heart. Whether we examine the contests in the Grecian Republics, and in Rome; the war between Marius and Sylla; the civil wars of the league in France; the contest between York and Lancaster in England; or between Charles I. and Cromwell; whether we attend to the history of parties during the present revolution in France, or during the late session of our own Congress; we shall find all popular leaders justifying their conduct by the plea of right, of necessity or of patriotism; at the same time if we examine their hearts by their conduct, we shall find them all actuated by nearly the same selfish motives or passions, private interest and ambition. If a man is jealous of his competitor, he directs his attention to be people—makes them believe his rival a traitor, an enemy—persuades them to pull down his rival and set himself up and the moment he is mounted on the people's shoulders, he tyrannizes over them, until a new ambitious demagogue appears, tells the people their ruler is a bad man, and persuades them to pull him down and set up another. Such is the perpetual rotation of noisy demagogues, pushing and jostling for places.
The real patriot is the man who supports the laws of a free country. The man who attempts to acquire an undue share of influence himself, or to give it to private associations of men, attempts to weaken and destroy the only legitimate authority that exists in a free state, and the only power which can protect life, liberty and other private rights.
The moment a man or private societies can check or control the steady operation of law, we lose our freedom; we no longer inhabit a free country: we are in the power of men, and not of the laws, which is exactly the situation of people in Turkey and other despotic countries. The popular influence of Robespierre in France, the ministerial influence in the British government, are equally tyrannical; for both are above the laws of men and not of laws. The present situation of the western counties in Pennsylvania is the same. The laws are prostrate and men govern with the fury of private passion: They are usurpers, who banish their fellow citizens, or for difference of opinion. They at least will be enslaved.
LATE AND IMPORTANT European Intelligence.
From London papers to the 11th June, via St. Croix.
LONDON, June 4.
We have reason to believe, that such strong facts will appear in the next report of the Secret Committee to the House of Commons, of the intentions of certain sedicious men and societies, as will stagger the most unbelieving, and convince them of the propriety of the measures taken by government.
In the long and hard fought action of the 22d ult. the army of the Convention was from 60 to 70,000 strong. It advanced
in the best order, under the command of General Pichegru in person; the National Deputies proceeding at the head of the columns. At one time doubts were entertained for the safety of the centre of the combined army: when it was unexpectedly supported by the arrival of ten battalions by which the conventionalists were made to retreat. During the whole of the engagement, the emperor was on horseback, constantly encouraging his troops by his presence and example. The valor of Archduke Charles was highly conspicuous: He charged the enemy several times at the head of the cavalry. The oldest of the soldiery, those who were engaged in the Seven Years war in Germany, and in that against the Turks, do not recollect to have seen such a carnage, and such a fire kept up for so long a space of time; for the engagement lasted 16 hours without intermission.
LONDON GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY.
Whitehall, May 25.
A dispatch, of which the following is a copy, was received this afternoon from his royal highness the Duke of York by the right hon. Henry Dundas, his majesty's principal secretary of State for the Home Department.
Tournay, May 25.
SIR, I have the satisfaction to acquaint you for his majesty's information, that yesterday morning the enemy, having made an attack upon the combined army under the command of his Imperial majesty, were repulsed, after a long and obstinate engagement.
The attack began at five o'clock, but did not appear to be serious till towards nine, when the whole force of the enemy (consisting, according to every account, of upwards of one hundred thousand men) was brought against the right wing, with the intention of forcing, if possible, the passage of the Scheldt, in order to invest Tournay.
At first they drove the out posts, and obliged general Busche's corps, which was posted at Elpierres, to fall back upon the main army; but upon succour being sent, general Wallmoden, who, though very unwell, had re-taken the command of the Hanoverians, maintained his position. The enemy, by constantly bringing up fresh troops, were enabled to continue the attack, without intermission, till 9 o'clock at night.
The troops of the right wing being greatly fatigued, it became necessary to support them from my wing; for which purpose, besides 7 Austrian battalions I detached the 2d brigade of British under the command of major-general Fox. Nothing could exceed the spirit and gallantry with which they conducted themselves, particularly in the storm of the village of Pontechin, which they forced with the bayonet. The enemy immediately began to retreat, and during the night withdrew all their posts, and, according to every information, have fallen back upon Lille.
Seven pieces of cannon and about 500 prisoners have fallen into our hands, and the enemy's loss, in killed and wounded, is said to amount to little short of 12,000 men, which is by no means improbable, as they were exposed to an incessant fire of cannon and musketry for upwards of twelve hours.
The manner in which general Fox conducted the brigade of British infantry of the line merits my warmest approbation.
Enclosed I send the return of the killed and wounded of the British.
I am, &c. FREDERICK. Total of killed, wounded and missing, on the 22d of May, 1794.
Officers wounded; 2 Serjeants killed, 7 do. wounded; 11 rank and file killed, 77 do. wounded, 19 ditto missing.—1 horse wounded.
From the London Gazette of June 7.
Admiralty Office, June 7.
The following is an extract of a letter from W. Parker, Esq. captain of his majesty's ship, Audacious, to Mr. Stephens, dated in Plymouth Sound, on the 3d inst.
I have the honor to acquaint you, for their Lordship's information, that on the 28th ult. in the morning about eight o'clock his majesty's fleet, under the command of the Earl Howe, the in lat. 47, 33 North, long. 14, 10 west, got sight of that of the enemy.
The wind blew strong from the Southward, and the enemy's fleet directly to windward.
Every thing was done by his majesty's fleet, per signals from the Earl Howe (preferring them in order) to get up with the enemy, who appeared to be forming in order of battle. But as I apprehended his Lordship considered their conduct began rather to indicate an intention of avoiding a general action, at 55 minutes after one o'clock he directed a general chase.
It was just becoming dark when his majesty's ship under my command arrived up with the rear ship of the enemy's line. I immediately commenced a very close action, which continued near two hours without intermission; never exceeding the distance of half cable's length, but generally closer, and several times in the utmost difficulty to prevent falling on board, which, as his last effort to appearance, at about ten o'clock he attempted to effect.
At this time his mizen-mast was by the board, his lower yards and main top-yard shot away; his fore top for the service to proceed to port, with top-sail yard, the sheets being shot away) may meet with their lordship's approbation without being entangled any time.
He then directed his course before the wind, and to appearance passed through or close astern of the ships in the rear of our line. When the enemy separated from us upon our bows the company of his majesty's ship under my command gave three cheers, from the idea, taken from the people quartered forward, that his colours were struck. This I cannot myself take upon me to say, though I think it likely, from his situation obliging him to pass through or near to our line: but certain it is he was completely beaten; and the last broadside (the ships sides almost touching each other, he sustained, without returning more than the fire of two or three guns.
His majesty's ship under my command, at the time we separated, lay with her topsails aback, (every brace boling, most of her standing, and all her running rigging shot away) in an unmanageable state. It was some time before I could get her to wear, to run to leeward from the French line, under cover of our own ships, which, by what I could judge from the lights, were all pretty well up and tolerably formed. This being effected, I turned all hands to repairing our damages, to get into readiness, if possible, to resume our station at day light.
The rear of the French line had been engaged at a distance, by Rear-Admiral Pasley's division, and some other ships that did not fetch so far to windward, a considerable time before I arrived up with them; and this very ship was engaged by one of his majesty's ships, at some distance to leeward, the time I did.
The night being very dark, I could form but little judgment of the situation of our fleet with respect to the French, in point of distance, other than, not hearing any firing after our own ceased, I concluded they were scarcely far enough to windward.
Soon after day light the next morning, to our utmost chagrin and astonishment, we discovered nine sail of the enemy's ships about three miles to windward.
The Audacious then, with her standing rigging but very indifferently secured, her foresail and topsails unbent, main top sail in the act of bending, we put before the wind, with the main and fore top-mast staysails only, ill set, from the stays being shot away; but, it being hazy with rain, and soon becoming thick, we, for a time, were covered from their view, and before, as I approached, they had formed a judgment of what we were.
The greatest exertion was used by every officer and man in the ship to get the other foresail and main-top sail bent. The fore topmast being so badly wounded, the fore top sail was of but little moment, however, the people brought the damaged sail to the yard again, though it could not be hoisted; but, before we got the foresail and main top sail set, the haze cleared off, and we soon discovered ourselves to be chased by two of the enemy's ships. At this period we saw the ship we had engaged, without any mast standing, and passed her at a mile and a half distance. The ships coming up with us very fast, our situation became very alarming, until we got the main top gallant sail, main top mast, and top gallant studding-sail, when three sail, that had been discovered to the eastward some time before, (two sloops and a brig) coming pretty near us, hoisted French colours.
The state of our masts did not admit of making an alteration in our course; they observing our shattered situation, and two ships in chase of us, flood athwart us boldly within fire, and shot were exchanged; the one a large frigate, and the other two corvettes; but, as we had so much sail out, they fell astern for a considerable time; at length the frigate came within shot of us again, and hauled us by a distant cannonade upon the quarter, upwards of an hour, but without doing us any material injury, we only firing some of our after guns upon each deck at her. She was ob-
served to make a signal to the ships under my command astern, and soon after, viz. about half past twelve o'clock, with the corvettes, the whole were seen out of sight. Having been chased twenty four leagues directly to leeward, and the crippled state of the bowsprit being such as judged impossible to stand if the wind, I considered the endeavoring to find the fleet again to too much risk, and most advantageous to port, with which I hope may meet with their lordship's approbation. I must beg you will be pleased to refer to the Lieutenant of his Majesty's ship under my command, during the action, merits all the praise I can bestow upon them; as also that of Lieutenant Crofton, of the 6th regiment, whose alertness and activity, with his men, in supporting the seamen armed to defend the boarding (which occurred twice during the action) gave me perfect satisfaction.
The conduct of my ship's company, also that of the soldiers of the 6th regiment, exceeded every possible expectation; in fact the whole of the officers and men, in their different departments behaved in a most exemplary manner.
It is wonderful, after such an action, that I have the happiness to say, the whole number killed and wounded are but twenty-two: three were killed on the spot, one died soon after, and the life of two more is despaired of.
The Captain and some of the officers of a French corvette, which we took possession of, and burnt a few mornings before, by the Earl Howe's order, viewed the ship we had engaged, while passing her in the morning, and were of opinion she is called La Revolutionnaire, formerly the Bretagne.
In case their Lordships should have any enquiries to make further, I have dispatched Lieutenant Joseph Bingham, my senior Lieutenant on board, with the charge of this letter, who is a very excellent officer and an intelligent young man, and, I trust, capable of giving every requisite information.
MANHEIM, May 27.
The Austrian army which crossed the Rhine on the 22d instant consisted of 30,000 infantry, and 4,000 cavalry only. No baggage was carried across, but each soldier was provided with three days bread, a circumstance which led to a conjecture that the French near Neuhoff and Schifferstadt were to be attacked. Accordingly, at six in the morning, the cannonade commenced on every side, and was vigorously kept up, extending as far as the mountains, where the Prussians were also engaged. After a variety of obstacles two French batteries were at length carried; but unfortunately the left wing of the Austrians suddenly found itself in a critical position. A division of Hussars, which had advanced to reconnoitre, was surrounded in a morass, where 60 soldiers were either killed or wounded; and, at the same juncture, a part of the regiment of archduke Ferdinand, and a division of the regiment of Seculi, in an endeavour to scale a French battery, were unexpectedly exposed to several masked batteries, by which 37 men were in an instant slain and 147 wounded. This obliged them to retreat. General Mezaros, who was present at the attack, had a horse killed under him, and received a violent contusion from the same bullet. Each party now resumed its former position; the Austrians being posted as to command the environs of Moudach, Mitterstadt, and Schifferstadt. The loss of the enemy, to whom the hussars of Vezey gave no quarter, was very considerable.
The Prussians on their side, displayed the highest activity: they were divided into four columns with a view of attacking the enemy at each flank; and this attack was executed with equal promptness and precision, the French retreating towards Triptstadt by cross roads and a country abounding in woods, which enabled the Prussians to surround them on all sides. On the 24th, the left wing of the Prussian army marched towards Neustadt and Pirmasens; while the main body proceeded to Hombourg and Deux Ponts.
Yesterday Prince Hohenlohe, advanced by Spire against Germersheim, and at night established his head quarters at Mulsbach. The Prussians under the command of the hereditary prince Hohenlohe took possession of the territory of Neustadt, and extended their quarters to Adighofen; protecting by their sudden arrival the greater part of

the cattle. Another Prussian army advanced to Bergzabern, obliging the French to abandon la Queich and Germersheim.
The intention was to surprise the French posted at Kaiserslautern under the command of General Aubert; and this attempt would have been crowned with success, had it not been for several insurmountable obstacles: it was also intended to cut off the communication of the French army of the Rhine with that of the Moselle, to prevent reinforcements being constantly sent to the North. The measures taken by the enemy, their various movements and dispositions, were so many proofs that their plan of defence was directed by a skillful General. Notwithstanding the combined armies were not so successful as might have been wished, still it is certain that one of the enemy's corps was entirely routed, with the loss of arms and baggage. The enemy on that occasion lost two colonels, a major, 5 captains, 54 subalterns, 29 ammunition waggons laden with provisions, 6 forges, 5 pair of colours, 350 horses, &c.
May 28.
The French, perceiving their first line of defence broken by the victory over them by General Moellendorf, have evacuated their second line, which covered Spierbach, and retreated to the other side of Queich. The apprehension that the Prince of Conde would, by crossing the Rhine, attack them in the rear, was the cause of their hastily abandoning their positions in the vicinity of Spire. The prince has twice attempted the passage across the river, but without success.
On the evening of the 25th the Austrian army encamped near Spire, and the following morning shifted their encampment to a league's distance on the other side of that city, at the same time that the Prussians moved forwards. It is now certain that the latter have reached the defiles of Anweiler, one of their columns having approached within about three leagues of Tonn and Buntenthal.
It would appear by these several movements, that the communication between the French armies of the Rhine and Moselle is cut off, after their having been much weakened by the detachments of their best troops sent off to the Netherlands. It is said, that the French have been obliged to abandon the territory on the other side of Bitche and the Sarre in consequence of the progress of Generals Kalkreuth & Koehler. The Prussian battalions entered Deux Ponts on the 26th.
The Prussians who have reached the mountains were their final reinforcements to enter on new enterprises. The headquarters of the great Austrian and Imperial army are still at Schwezingen. The elector of Cologne, grand master of the teutonic order, has, by a proclamation, called on the Knights of the order who have not as yet fulfilled their military engagements, to repair, at the call of religion and honor, to their duty against the French Jacobins, who are sworn to destroy all the bonds of society.
OSTEND, June 3.
The Marquis of Cornwallis, who arrived here yesterday, set out this morning with his retinue for the Prussian army on the Rhine.—The marquis de Boissle, who came with his Lordship, is gone to Aix-la-Chapelle.
June 4.
Our letters from Brussels, Liege, and Tournay, brought by this day's mail, are of the most satisfactory nature. All is quiet in these places. The day before yesterday, our army on the Sambre, and that of the Republic were in sight; both were preparing for an engagement, the event of which, cannot be doubtful; as our army, far superior in discipline and tactics, is stronger than their's.
The day before yesterday, the Republicans attacked a corps of our troops near Pick, but were repulsed with great loss. The particulars of this action are not yet known.
After the arrival of an officer of distinction from the Duke of York's army, several persons were arrested here this morning at two o'clock, and conducted to the guard-house. They are all inhabitants of this town. Three English news writers were also ordered immediately to leave this town, and Flanders, on pain of being imprisoned. They sail in this day's packet.
The Carmagnoles continued yesterday their attempts against Ypres. But their batteries were no sooner erected, than beaten down; and their men dismounted by the fire of the guns.
"No well disposed person here, entertains the least fear of the Republic: it is only alarmists and their dupes who conceive the possibility of their returning to Ostend."
MAYENCE, May 26.
Marshal Moellendorf, on the 24th instant, surprized the French in their intrenchments in the neighborhood of Kaiserslautern, and defeated them with great loss. [Under the Manheim head it is said, that it was the intention to surprize the French at Kaiserslautern. The force of the French consisted of about 12,000 men. They were posted behind the defiles of Otterbach, Hargelsbach, and the Lauter.
The whole of this country was covered with redoubts and intrenchments; several dykes had been cut, & the bridges were every where destroyed: while three strong positions were prepared, to facilitate their retreat in case of accidents.
The loss of the French amounts to 1000 killed, more than 2000 prisoners, 18 pieces of cannon, and two howitzers. After the engagement, Marshal Moellendorf established his Head-Quarters at Winweiler, and the prince of Hohenlohe Ingelingen took possession of Neustadt. The advanced posts of Neustadt. The advanced posts of the Prussian army extend as far as Deux Ponts and Carlsberg.
MENTZ, May 27.
This day 1500 French prisoners arrived here together with 64 officers, and the guns taken at Kaiserslautern; among which are six twelve pounders. The Austrians have entered Spire; and it is said, that the corps of Conde has passed the Rhine.
TURIN, May 14.
General Colli has his head-quarters till at Jenda, from whence he has transported to the other side of the mountains the magazines he had placed there. Count d'Argenteau still keeps his position at Ceva and Mondovi; and has obliged the French to retreat to Ormea, after they had plundered Bagnasco and Gattorna. The French army in the Duchy of Aoste, has been considerably diminished, and occupies at present the strongest posts between St. Didier and Thuille, from whence they have sent patrols towards Sable. The Duke of Montserrat is stationed between Quarto and Villefranche, where he waits for reinforcements to march against the enemy.
The Chevalier de St. Amour, governor of Saorgio, has been brought hither prisoner, to be tried for the premature surrender of that fortress. His orders were to hold out 48 hours, and, notwithstanding the representations of an Imperial officer, he thought proper to retire with the troops under his command at the expiration of 36 hours; in consequence of which the Austrians narrowly escaped with their lives.
ROME, May 25.
In the course of the last week four young men one of whom is nephew to the secretary of Cardinal Antonelli, who had abruptly quitted the city, were apprehended at Civita Vecchia, just as they were about to embark for Genoa. Among their papers were found, written in cyphers, letters of recommendation to a Genoese, who was to introduce them to a French General, formerly a physician here, to whom they were sent to serve as guides to the French armies about to invade Italy. It appears by their papers, that they were sent by the principals of a conspiracy in which no less than 700 individuals were engaged. Many of these have been apprehended, and sent to the castle of St. Angelo, as have also four emilarians. Among the prisoners is a celebrated professor of surgery, Angelucci. A French Jacobin, in the disguise of a priest, who had some how obtained the countenance of Cardinal Bernis, has been ordered to quit the city. We learn from Naples that 13 conspirators have been apprehended there, among them a Romish priest, a benedictine, and a monk of Pisa.

POLAND, May 3.
The Revolutionary Tribunal at Warsaw consists of 25 persons, 11 of whom at least, must be present when any judgement passed.
Letters from Vienna of the 13th state, that the bloody scenes which are about to be exhibited in Poland, will probably interest more than three powers to take an active part. Denmark and Sweden seem
to have more in view by their mutual alliance, than the bare defence of the flag. The Grand Signior has also given orders to put on foot armies. One of them will be stationed near Anappa, the second in the Cuban, the third near Bender, and the fourth in Silesia.
LONDON, May 28.
The Empress of Russia is marching two Armies, one of 30,000, and the other of 15,000, men in Poland; and the King of Prussia is marching one of 40,000 men.
It is said that an engagement was fought on the 29th ult. at Nowemiasto. This intelligence is contained in several letters from Warsaw, in which they add, that the Russians, to the number of 17,000 men, had lost 2,000 men, killed and wounded, and an equal number in prisoners.
In the Navigation Act of the French Republic, we remark the following passage:
"All Frenchmen are soldiers; private property is the property of the State, from whence it follows, that France can continue the war as long as she chooses, and can have at the commencement of each campaign 1,200,000 men under arms. The old debts of the Crown are discharged by the sale of the Ecclesiastical possessions, and the domains and property of the Rebels. The new debts are provided for by Assignats issued and to be issued, and their Assignats are secured by 600,000,000 annual Revenues, and by fifty millions of Estates, which may be at any time sold."
The executions in France continue without number. On the 5th it was decreed in the convention, that all ci-devant farmers general should be sent to the Revolutionary Tribunal to be tried, and then their heirs prosecuted for the property they possessed. It was further decreed, that all the fine palaces and houses in France, shall be converted to the public use. Notwithstanding the number of executions, the prisoners are as crowded as ever. The number at present in Paris having reached to seven thousand.
Accounts are received of the loss of the Ardent man of war in the Mediterranean. Most of the crew perished.

NEW-YORK, August 13.
By the brig Nancy we learn that Mr. Jay had arrived at London, who was well received by the Ministry; that Lord Howe had not arrived with the fleet when the Capt. Beete left the Downs, which was on the 14th June; but confirms the account of the decision of the engagement as stated in Lord Howe's letter; that he did not hear of the capture of 111 sail of the Chesapeake convoy; that the Revolutionaries had arrived in France, after an action of 3 hours with the Audacious.
BALTIMORE, August 11.
Captain Rutter, of the brig Philip, arrived here from Curacoa, in lat. 30, long. 73, saw a fleet of 58 sail, among which were 4 or 5 frigates, the rest transports. Capt. R. supposed them to be from Havanna, bound to the island of Hispaniola. On Wednesday last Capt. Rutter came into the Chesapeake, in company with Two Fifty gun ships, Two Frigates, and a Sloop of War.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Kingston (Jamaica) to his correspondents in this town, dated July 13.
"For my part I never was so completely tired of any place, as I am of this infernal hole; where the Yellow Fever carries off the people like Rotten Sheeps—I recommend to you in the strongest terms, to be extremely cautious of the vessels coming from Port-au-Prince, or indeed any part of St. Domingo or this island. The introduction of this Malignant Fever into Baltimore, or any other part of America, might be attended with the most serious consequences. With the recent example of Philadelphia before you, I flatter myself every necessary preparation will be made use of to avert its consequences. Some of the British Men of War, are almost without a man. The English accuse the Americans with having poisoned the flour, and other provisions sent out since the Embargo; however, this is ridiculous, because the fever raged long before the introduction of those provisions."

LONDON, June 7.
Generals Kinski, Kaunitz, and Schroeder, are said to have been dismissed from their commands by the Emperor.
The hussars of Salm, which have hitherto formed part of the army of the Prince de Conde, have been taken into English pay.
It was rumored at Brussels, on Mon-
day last, that the royalists of La Vendee had laid siege to Nantz; some accounts went so far as to say they were actually in possession of it, and that the Department of Calvados was in a state of insurrection.
The instances of the Austrians murdering their wounded prisoners in cold blood, when they are unable to march, are so frequent, that it would be tedious to detail them. Once, when one of the and British surgeons was dressing a wounded Frenchman, a hussar came up, and drawing both his pistols, clapped one to his breast, and the other to his head, and killed him in the surgeon's arms. The French, in return, make a proper distinction, of which we had a most striking proof on the 18th.
On that occasion, 7 of our soldiers were taken prisoners, along with several Austrians, by a party of French cavalry. On our arrival charging them, they found themselves obliged to relinquish their prisoners; on which the French exclaimed, with one voice, "Liberty to the brave English, but death to the Austrians," and immediately set the former free, and hewed the others to pieces!

Municipality of Paris, May 24.
The Deputy of the National Agent disclosed to the Municipality the criminal project that had been formed against the lives of Collot d'Herbois and Robespierre. He returned thanks to the Supreme Being for having disappointed the murderous machinations of the assassins, and he concluded by proposing, that the Municipality of Paris should immediately proceed to the Convention, to express the sentiments of the people of France and to assure the National Representatives, that the citizens who made the first step towards liberty, know how to support that liberty, and that they will form round the National Convention an impregnable rampart. This proposition was agreed to unanimously.
WARSAW, May 16.
The situation of the King becomes every day more alarming, especially since the regency no longer keeps any measures with the Ministers and other agents of Russia and Prussia, and that the people have shown their inclination for capital punishments.
On the 24th of April, eight members of the Regency, viz. the Castellan of Lublin Rotocky, Sieurs Kochanowsky and Mokronowsky, Nicolas Prince de Radzivil, Elias Alse, Wegiersky, Rafalowicz, and Tykiel, came to the king and said, "We are appointed by the Regency to say to you, Sire, that the people express great distrust of your Majesty being desirous of quitting Warsaw secretly. They say that yesterday you took a walk along the Vistula, accompanied only by two persons, in order to prepare your flight by water: We have pledged our lives on the falsity of these suspicions, but the alarms of the people are not to be calmed; and we beg of your Majesty to give us the means of satisfying the people on this head."
The King replied, "It is about four days since, I took such a walk a you mention, but it was in broad day, and without any mystery. I went to see the rafts which were arrived, & to ask what provisions they had brought for Warsaw, a thing of much importance at the present juncture. I afterwards went to see how far the building of the bridge was advanced. From thence I returned to the Great Square in full day and accompanied not by two persons, but by a crowd of people. Gentleman, I gave you, four days ago, my word that I would not quit Warsaw—I reiterate the same to you now, in the most positive manner—what would you more?"
Upon this answer of the King, the
Delegates, replied, "That for themselves, they were persuaded of his truth; but that the people's distrust was so great, that something more than this must be done."
"Say then yourselves (replied the King), what you think necessary." They then declared, "That the people wished to have some one of confidence always in the Royal apartments, and to follow his Majesty wherever he went."
The king answered, "This must necessarily hurt me extremely, if the distrust arises from you: but as you say the people can no otherwise be calmed, I do not oppose it." Then the Delegates begged the king to appear frequently in the most frequented places of the city, as he had been used to before the 17th of April, on which the king promised.
The Delegates mentioned two foreigners who resided at the Caille, and were attached to the King; the one for near thirty, the other for ten years, as much suspected. This intimation was highly resented by his Majesty, and he concluded the audience with answering for the fidelity of all his servants who resided at his palace.
May 17.
The above plan of setting a guard over the king, has been put into execution since yesterday. Two Municipal Officers accompany him wherever he goes, and sit at his table. For this service, 14 members of the Municipality have been nominated, who relieve each other every 24 hours. In other respects, the king is treated with every outward mark of dignity, and he shews himself to the people every day by riding through the streets of Warsaw.
The Intendant of the Police, Wencelas Rogozinski, of whose arrest we have given an account, was condemned to die on the 15th, and was executed on the 16th, in the manner as the other victims of the Polish Revolution.
ANECDOTE.
A certain ant federal candidate for a seat in Congress, in conversation the other day, observed, that if the French had, as was reported, captured the infamous Benedict Arnold, he hopped, they would not send him to the United States. His reason was asked "Because" he replied "he would be sent a Member to Congress." "I do not know but that he would" rejoined the other, "for as I understand you intend to consider yourself as a candidate, the people will undoubtedly of two evils chuse the least."

A body of 500 cavalry, just arrived from England, on their being disembarked, were marched immediately to the field, and lost 150 in the first action.

IT is with pleasure that the publisher has to inform his subscribers and the public in general, that the plate is now under the hands of the engraver, and in greater for- wardness than was at first contemplated. At the same time he begs leave to remind them, that subscription papers are still o- pen at most of the noted book-stores in the city; and that he hopes from the whole of them to be enabled to form such a re- spectable catalogue of names, as will do credit to the work, as well as afford reasonable encouragement to the under- taker.

For the convenience of pur- chasers, it will be divided into parcels of various dimensions from 200 to 600 acres, which may be viewed by application to Col. R. K.

On another part of this tract it is supposed there is a quarry of slate, convenient to water carriage. Upwards of two thirds are in woods. Mr. Enoch S. Lane, living on the premises, will show this tract.

Also, sundry unimproved lots of various sizes, in different parts of the town of Al- exandria.
To describe the premises more particu- larly is deemed unnecessary, as it is expect- ed every person will examine and view whatever part he shall be inclined to buy. My only object being to raise a certain sum of money, by selling so many or such part of the aforesaid tracts of land and lots as shall be necessary for that purpose, one half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of contract, and the other within a year from the first day of August next, and at the time of delivering possession or ex- ecuting a legal conveyance. The lands re- maining unsold, except the tract in Prince William, after raising a limited sum, will be divided into tenements, and leased for a term of years. From the 12th day of Oc- tober next, till the 15th of December, I shall be in the city of Richmond, and after that time I shall remain at home, in Alex- andria, at which places, or elsewhere, I shall be prepared to detail particulars, and to enter into contracts.

LETTERS on the subject of the Wash- ington Lottery, being by mistake repeat- edly addressed to the Commissioners for the City of Washington.
Persons concerned are hereby informed, that all such should be addressed either to W. Deakins jun. of Washington, or to the Subscriber. The commissioners never having contemplated any further concern in this business, than in their assent to receive the bonds and approve the names of the managers. The prizes have been paid and are paying on demand by W. Deakins, Washington, Peter Gilman, Boston, and by the Subscriber.
For the Lottery No. 2, the securities al- ready given will be retained by the com- missioners, or transferred by them at their option to the bank of Columbia; and the commissioners will be consulted respecting a judicious and equitable disposition of the houses to be built thereby; their treasury or the bank of Columbia will receive the money intended for the National Univer- sity, and they will be consulted in the no- mination of the 24 managers; but all the responsibility respecting the general disposi- tion of the tickets, and payment of prizes, will rest as in the Hotel Lottery, on the persons whose names are and may be hereafter published as assistants to forward this business with S. BLODGET.
N. B. Mr. Blodget will be particularly obliged if those persons who possess prizes yet unpaid, will apply for their money as early as possible. June 7th.

R E W A R D.
Some few Counterfeit Post-Notes of the Bank of Maryland, having been lately disco- vered in circulation, and on tracing the same were found to come from the back parts of Virginia, where they probably first issued; to avoid imposition it is thought necessary to give the following description of them, by which they may readily be detected. They have the letter D, for their alphabeti- cal mark, at the left hand side of the Note. The paper on which they are printed is more soft and tender, the strokes of the letters in the engraving are in general stronger, and have a darker appearance than in the bills. The signature William Patterson, is badly done, the strokes of the letters, are stiff and labored, and appear to be painted over with the pen, as well as the flourishing of the name. The value is left blank in the engraving, to be filled up in writing, so the sum may be more or less at pleasure.
No true Post-Notes of the alphabetical mark, above described, have been lately is- sued, and very few are now in circulation. The above reward of One Thousand dol- lars will be paid to any person, or persons, who shall discover, or prosecute to conviction, the several offenders, or any of them, of the following description, viz.
The person or persons, who engraved the late.
The printer, or printers of the said bills.
Every person who has acted as principal in any way in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills.
