UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, September 11. Mr. Randolph's letter published Tues- day together with the President's corre- spondence with the Governor of this state, bode no good to Governor Simcoe. In- deed it is presumed that Gen. Wayne on the one side, and the Genesee Woodmen on the other, will be able to give a good account of certain expeditions into the United States, and fully to maintain the statu quo, pending our foreign negotiati- ons. The moderation of the Executive is equally conspicuous in negotiation with foreign and domestic enemies. To resort to arms only as the last expedient, either to repel foreign invasion or suppress do- mestic rebellion, marks the mild genius of our government and the patriotism, the humanity, and fatherly affection of our President.

HARRISBURGH, Sept. 8. Pursuant to the request in the Oracle of the 1st inst. a very respectable number of the citizens of Harrisburg and its vicinity, met on Friday afternoon, at the court house in this borough; and after express- ing their general sentiments of esteem and veneration for the happy constitution un- der which we live, and our detestation of every unconstitutional mode of attempting to procure a redress of grievance, by oppo- sition to any acts of government: Some dissatisfaction appeared respecting the excise laws and the wages of the officers of the federal government; but confide- ring the danger at this time least any proceedings therein might be construed into countenancing, or in the least ap- proving of the outrages lately committed in several counties more Westward- ly therefore the meeting broke up without coming to any resolutions on the occasion at so critical a juncture. [By desire]
Notice is hereby given, that the bus- iness relative to the excise law, and o- ther matters, published in our last pa- per, is postponed until Monday next, when a numerous meeting of the country gentlemen, and others are expected to assemble at the Court-House in this town.
From the WESTERN STAR.  THE CORDWAINER.—No. 3. NOW I am no Jacobin, gentlemen. If you ask me what a Jacobin is, I pro- fess I cannot tell you, only I have a no-

ties from what I have caught up here and there, that it is a sort of a man that puts on his spurs first and then his boots—changes first his coat, and then puts on his shirt—knocks you down, and then inquires whether you have injured or offended him—if his cabin wants sweeping, he will set it on fire, in order, as he says gravely, to purge it effectually.
Now this was never my way. It always seemed to come handiest to me to begin at the other end.—If I was going to remove the old brush-fence round my corn field, when the crop was growing, (for I own a little farm) I should say to myself, "Now if I take away this, poor as it is, before I have got my posts and rails for a new one, and carted them to the spot, ten chances to one, the cattle and hogs will watch the opportunity and destroy my crop. If I have not stuff enough to renew the whole, I will repair as far as my materials will go, and let the rest be till I can get better prepared to complete it."—If I undertake to make my neighbor a pair of boots, I do not set my fancy at work to hit the handsomest shape, or study the nicest proportions, with a view of paring the long heel and crooked last of the wearer to fit the boot; but I take his measure, and if my customer cannot wear an elegant boot, I endeavor to make him such boots as he can wear.
We poor tradesmen don't have much time to read; when a subject so entertaining as the Rights of Man , is handled, however, we learn a point. Mr. Paine seems to be a mighty nice writer; he lays all smooth as velvet before him as he goes. When he encounters the absurdities, the abuses and the prejudices that exist among mankind, he makes snapping work; he is as bold as a lion. None of your half-way, go-for-the-present, milk and water notions for him. Mr. Paine knows what is what, I warrant you. O, if I could write like that same Tommy Paine, I am not certain you should always find Ned Nipper at his last and his lapstone.
I should, perhaps, sooner chuse Mr. Paine to write for me, however, than to make systems of government for my country. When I read his works, I endeavor to keep my eyes fixed steadily upon the book, and while I do that, all seems to go on as it should do; palaces, churches, prisons, ruins, kings and priests swim, like a raree show, before my eyes, and vanish away; but many a fine reverie have I spoiled by suffering my eyes inadvertently to wander from the page, and to dwell for a moment or two, upon the objects which surrounded me. I have dreamed of being in the most delightful gardens, where nothing was to be seen but the most beautiful fruits and flowers; nothing heard but the music of the birds and the streams; nothing smelt but fragrant odours; nothing felt but the breath of the breezes: When the rattling of a shutter has awaked me to the same old smoked walls, noisy rats in the ceiling, the stink of my leather and my pitch, and abundance of fleas and bed-bugs.
We have already published an account of the infernal butchery which took place at Fort Dauphin in July last—but as the following is a more clear and satisfactory detail of that business than has yet appeared—and as such instances of savage cruelty ought to be held up to everlasting execration, no apology can be necessary for the present republication.
From the Delaware Advertiser .
Jeremie, July 19, 1794.
"Since yesterday evening our souls are a prey to consternation and sorrow, occasioned by an account of the horrid treachery of the Spaniards at Fort Dauphin, who, on the 7th of this month, abandoned, and caused to be assassinated by the army of the negro Jean Francois, all the wretched Frenchmen, women, and children, to the number of 750, who had lately arrived from the continent in this town, all of them landholders in the province of the North. The Spanish government, by a proclamation which you must have seen, had, by the most flattering promises of security and protection, invited all the proprietors of this province to return to their plantations. In consequence of this proclamation, many hastened back to their ancient possessions; but immediately upon their arrival, were received with such coolness and marks of uneasiness, that they could not forbear remonstrating with the Spaniards on this account, and reminding them of the contents of their proclamation. The only answer they could obtain was—That it was a stratagem of war."
"The army of Jean Francois, instigated, no doubt, by the governor, had
complained openly of the proprietors, return, and of this breach of promise respecting the partition of their lands. These complaints were uttered publicly in the streets, by the black brigands, and seemed to threaten very plainly the catastrophe that was gathering. In the mean time, the French, without suspicion or arms, thought themselves secure in a town, where they beheld none but enemies. They could not imagine that the government which recalled, intended to sacrifice them. At length, however, a general review of the Spanish army and that of their black allies, was fixed for the 7th of July. At the hour appointed, the Spanish troops were drawn up under arms on one side of the public square, and the negroes on the other, to their left. The moment the review was over Jean Francois killed the hand of the Spanish Chaplain, and blew a whistle. This was the signal for carnage, and the black army immediately fired upon the French spectators, whom curiosity had drawn to the square. They then divided themselves into platoons, each containing 60 of these monsters, and rushing into the streets and houses, massacred all the men, women, and children they could find, except a few whom they were directed to spare. Among this small number is the Prieur family. During this horrid scene, the Spanish troops remained drawn up on the square, quite unconcerned, and transfixed with their bayonets, those who fled for protection to their line. The slaughter ceased only when no more victims could be discovered. Sixty or eighty French at most escaped by sea to Monte Christi and the Mole, and from this last place, we have received the above particulars."
"From the list of the persons massacred on this occasion, given in to the Spanish governor by Jean Francois, they appear to amount to seven hundred and seventy one!"—I wish to dismiss the reader without any additional comment upon so base and execrable a transaction. Americans know how to think and feel upon these awful occasions.
A SUBSCRIBER.
P. S. Many accounts may appear of this wanton and cruel butchery, very probably greatly exaggerated; but the quarter from which I received the above, may be relied on as authentic.
From the General Advertiser .
To Benjamin White, Esq. member of the legislature of Pennsylvania for the county of Washington.
SIR.
The arguments which a call to order did not suffer you fully to deliver on the floor of the House of Representatives, it seems you have resolved to present to the public through the medium of Mr. Bache's Gazette. The same duty which would have made it incumbent upon me to have noticed them in my place will not, I hope, be misconstrued when it leads me to give them an answer through the channel you have chosen. It appears right that I should not discover less zeal for my constituents than you have shown for yours; it appears just, that the public should be satisfied, that your arguments such as they are have not been silenced by passion, but are refuted by the easiest and plainest reasoning.
The chief objects offered by you in extenuation of the proceedings of the western counties appear to be reducible to one or other of these classes: the local position and difficulties of their situation, the trial of your people at a distance from their homes by the federal court; the Excise and its consequent effects on your manufactures and resources; the extravagant salaries of the federal and state officers contrasted with the small wages allowed to the soldiery, and the impolitic sales of land operating to your prejudice as settlers. On each of these I shall make some cursory remarks and examine whether, even if they were truly productive of all the evils you state, they justify the resource to which the western people have applied for redress.
With respect to the difficulties of your position they appear to arise from a scarcity of cash, the attacks of the Indians and the calls to militia service. The former is a complaint far more extensive than your district, for it would be hard to find one wherein the scarcity of money is not at times the subject of disquietude; yet industry and economy, all the world over, rarely fail to supply enough of it for all the reasonable purposes of life; nor is it easy to imagine, that the western counties are in this respect excluded from the common occurrences of chance and of time equally happening to all. The Indian depredations and calls to militia duties are indeed more serious, but a moment's reflection would convince you, that the
federal government is at this moment applying both arms and negotiation to relieve you, and should they not have succeeded, would it be extraordinary if our sufferings in this quarter far outweighed your own, for are not our towns and inhabitants on the sea-coast more easily destroyed and accessible by a foreign enemy than yours are beyond the mountains, and have we not indeed been sustaining at sea, ravages on our property equal to any yours might have suffered by the occasional assaults you sustained.
The visits of the marshal to take your inhabitants before the federal court, arising from a very general opposition to the laws of the United States in your county, cannot be enumerated as a grievance, because obedience to the law which was but a duty would also have proved a shield against this inconvenience and it is hard to discover how any shall be indulged to complain of that as an injury to which only a plain and notorious infraction of a previous obligation had exposed them.
The excise is the prominent feature of objection, and the opposition to its collection, the source of the present impending warfare; yet surely this was easily avoided if objected to, by a temporary suspension of the manufacture, or by a patient forbearance till some fortunate change had been operated in your favor on this head. This was gradually approaching; in many quarters the system had been questioned as to its propriety, on the score of its unproductive quality; in others it had been deprecated for its tendency to injure our growing manufactures; the Tobacco and Sugar Bakers of Philadelphia, equally with yourselves exposed to this duty, were proceeding slowly, but perhaps surely to obtain a repeal of it, in the quiet and constitutional paths of remonstrance and change of representation; but your violence has frustrated their views for the present, and greatly injured the chance before you of a speedy repeal of the law complained of. You have armed the friends of the system with new reasons for enforcing it, deduced from the necessity of firmness in government, and you have by taking arms against the United States afforded but too much color to the assertion, for such I hope it only is, that your opposition is not so much to the excise as to the government itself, which indeed cannot be said to exist, if against its authority a part of the community can enforce their own scale of things in direct and manifest opposition.
The salaries of officers is the next thing censured; but really I cannot perceive in your list the extravagance you talk of. Persons living at a distance in the country often view this kind of subject through a mistaken and prejudiced medium, for want of reflecting on the expences necessarily attendant on the different stations subjected to a city life. You have yourself an instance in your own experience: you are yourself one of these salary officers, and received three dollars a day, but do you grow so wealthy by your pay as to become a scare-crow to your neighbors? Judge then of others by yourself, and do not let the language of prejudice outweigh with you the more forcible dictates of experience. You say the President gets 68 dollars a day to sit in honor's easy chair; but do you really conceive it to be such an easy chair, and is it so easy a task to conduct, and to conduct satisfactorily among so many jarring interests the concerns of 4 or 5 millions of people? But were the chair easy even as you suppose, and honorable as it certainly is, what people in civilization would begrudge it to the veteran who fought their battles and assisted so greatly to procure them independence. You hear sometimes how that in other governments an admiral, a general, gets thousands a year for life, and the soft retreat of a peerage for some paltry victory, the meteor of a moment, and you would deny an easy chair and 68 dollars a day to a man whose fidelity and firmness perhaps secured the possession of the most elevated blessings that you hold. But did not the President engage to keep an account of this money and to use none of it but what the necessary expences incurred in the public service required, and what more could reasonably be expected from him, unless not only all his days, but all his fortune too must be devoted as a sacrifice to the insatiable thirst of a miserly avarice.
The compensation of the soldiery and the sales of lands may have been sometimes the subject of imperfect regulation or of a misguided parsimony; but why should you exclusively complain of what others patiently suffer, especially with the bright example before you of the late American armies who retired from the field where laurels were almost their only acquisition, without a murmur, or
complaint. What indeed had been the consequence, if only mindful of their own wrongs, they had not hesitated to avenge them, on what, however ungrateful, they could not cease to venerate as their proper country.
Yet were I to admit with you that the various objects you complain of were all strictly speaking real grievances: Suppose me to yield to the charge of the extravagance of salaries and the general misconduct ascribed to our rulers who after all may err and are subject to err like other men, would this justify your country's appeal to fire and sword, or would it prove that they acted as virtuous citizens ought to do when they have occasioned all the horrors with which we now are threatened and an expence of money in one instance of more amount than all the salaries and all the vexations complained of put together. No sir, their conduct would bear as little the scrutiny of figures as it would stand the test of the cool investigation of reason or of common sense.
I beg pardon for this prolixity but the last paragraph of your letter effects in my mind much of what precedes it. You deprecate the fate of what you term your sinking country and you make a pathetic appeal to the sympathy of government: a representative never looks so amiable as when he discovers such a fondness for his constituents, and our government tho' it may frown on your country will not sink it. In all its efforts it will regard it still with a parental eye; its commissioners at first evinced its temper, and its army if it be really forced to march, will no less display its mildness, a strict discipline will doubtless be enforced, the obedient will be encouraged and protected, the harmless productions of nature will not be as in Europe offered to the vindictive policy of a despot, but succeeding spring will find your country beautiful as before tho' not so riotous. It is turbulence and the firebrand of passion that might indeed inflame and devalue the western counties but the eagle of America is too aspiring in its views to take any pleasure in the ruin of any part of its own empire.
J. SWANWICK.
PHILADELPHIA,
SEPTEMBER 16.
We are credibly informed, that the spirited exertions of the Chief Justice, and Judge Yeates, to suppress the seditious measures which some violent people were fomenting in Cumberland County, gave offence to their partisans; who determined to be revenged on the Judges, for arresting Mr. Petriken, and others. On the evening of the day that the Judges left Carlisle, about two hundred armed men marched into the borough, and being disappointed in their main object, they erected a liberty-pole near the Court-House, with some seditious inscriptions, and burnt the Chief Justice in effigy. Another pole was erected near the door of one of the persons arrested, amidst the shouts of the mob, having "Liberty and Equality" inscribed on it. They fired many volleys during the night time, and dispersed about day-light. Next day Mr. D. Watt cut down the pole: He has since been insulted, and it is said that Col. Blaine (who has also been active on the side of government) has been fired upon as he was going from Carlisle. The magazines of military stores have been threatened, but are guarded by Capt. Sparks's company of Continental troops.

By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 15.
Yesterday arrived from London, after a passage of 9 weeks—left Falmouth the 29th of July, the ship Francis and Mary, Capt. Reid, with whom came passengers, Chevalier De Friere, Portuguese Ambassador, and his lady, with several other respectable cabin passengers; who were so very obliging as to favor us with the loan of London Papers as late as the 25th of July, which they procured while at Falmouth. One of these papers, [ London Packet of the 23d July ] contains the particulars of the UNION OF THE ISLAND OF CORSICA TO THE CROWN OF GREAT-BRITAIN, which has been finally, and formally concluded.—[The articles of agreement, speeches, &c. on this subject take up about nine columns of the London Packet —if we can possibly obtain a loan of the paper long enough to copy it, we shall lay it before our readers to-morrow.] The Constitutional Oath was taken in the words following: "I swear for myself, and in the name of the Corsican nation, which I represent, to acknowledge for my Sovereign and King, His Majesty George the Third, King of Great Britain,
"to yield him faithful obedience, according to the Constitution and the Laws of Corsica, and to maintain the said Constitution and Laws." The Constitution and Act being entirely completed and finished, the President adjourned the Session, and signed the above, as did also the Secretaries, the year, month and day above mentioned. [June 19, 1794.]
(Signed) Pasquale de Paoli , President. Carlo Andrea Pozzo di Borgo , Sec'y. Gio. Andrea Muselli , Sec'y.
The passengers inform that it was reported at Falmouth that Antwerp had been taken by the French, and that Lord Grenville, Secretary of State for foreign affairs, and Earl Windham, Secretary of war, had positively left London for Germany, on business of the utmost importance with the Emperor.
The Ohio failed from Gravesend the 22d of July. Mr. Jay does not return in her.
Besides other IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE in the papers by the above arrival, which we cannot crowd in this day's Gazette, they contain the following Advices, which are copied, chiefly from the London Packet of the 25th of July.
LONDON, July 24—25.
The Diet of the Helvetic Body was on the 9th inst. opened at Frakenfeld, in the Swiss Cantons. The Paris Committee of Public Welfare have sent thither Commissioners, with the following demands:—1. All the French Emigrants to be expelled from Switzerland. 2. The French to enjoy, through all the Cantons, the right of buying horses, provisions, &c. &c. 3. The Helvetic body immediately to recall all the Swiss regiments that are in the service of foreign powers. 4. It shall be allowed them to enter that of France—And, 5thly, The Swiss must provide those troops with the necessary arms and ammunition.
The first article of these demands is not likely to meet with much opposition, but the other four will be strongly contested.
We are informed by persons of credit who have escaped from Ghent since the French have been in possession of it, that every thing is in a state of requisition. Plate, both belonging to the church and individuals, brass, iron, all sorts of clothes, in short every article, is demanded under pain of the guillotine. Some persons have been put to death at Tournay by that first Minister of the Republic. It is also said, that they have demanded 100,000 men from Flanders alone; and, as they have been disarmed, they must march when ordered.
All the Emigrants who survived the siege of Nempert, reduced from about 500 to less than 200, were savagely massacred, upon the glacis of the place immediately on its surrender, amid the shouts of Vive la Republique!
We also learn, that at Ostend, though an assurance had been published at the time the enemy entered the place, that every thing that was passed should be buried in oblivion, some one or other continues to be executed every day!
The most rigid measures are pursuing both by the executive and legislative government of Holland, to suppress that seditious spirit which might, unrestrained, tend much to favor the progress of the French.
Liege is almost wholly deserted. All the nobles and clergy have fled towards Germany, and the religious have quit their convents. More than four hundred boats, loaded with the most valuable property in the town, had dropped down the Meuse, and the utmost consternation prevailed.
By accounts received yesterday from the Prince of Orange, it appears, that upon the 11th, he was at Rotsehaer, and was to have a camp behind the Dyle, and his head quarters at Keerbergen. His position was such, that his right wing extended to the Duke of York's army, and his left to the corps under the Austrian General Kray, which is joined to Prince Cobourg's army.
Postilions and the drivers of carriages in general, are now forbidden to take any letters or packets from any part of Holland.
The Ministry at Hanover has again opened the trade for grain upon the Elbe to Hanover. The resolution containing the order for this measure, is dated July 8.
Since the French Toulon squadron has been blocked up by the English, the French have drawn much of their force from Piedmont.
THE WAR. The following has been handed about, as the new plan for prosecuting the war.

The partition of Poland to be completed. This is expected to be fully executed by the latter end of August.
The troops of Prussia to retire into Prussian Guelderland; the Austrians beyond the Rhine. There they are to be recruited and prepared for service by the month of April next.
The English, Hessian, and Hanoverian infantry, to remain for the defence of Holland all the winter. A large part of the Russian fleet to winter in the British ports, to be ready early in the spring, when it is to be reinforced, and convoy 30,000 Russian troops, who are to be joined by 30,000 British, covered with 60 sail of the line, and immediately land upon the coast, and invade the heart of France. The Austrian and Prussian armies to move on at the same time, augmented to the number of 300,000, by way of Alsace and Metz, to Paris, whilst the bulk of the French are employed to defend themselves against the English and Russians, with the whole body of the Royalists, whose regular force is to be recruited to the number of 100,000 men.
By letters from Copenhagen, dated July 6, we learn, that besides the nine ships of the line, which are to be added to the Danish fleet, and are nearly ready for service, five more ships are immediately to be fitted out for sea. Reinforced by these vessels, the Danish fleet will consist of 22 line of battle ships and five frigates.
The Swedish squadron is likewise to be reinforced by five ships of the line. The whole combined fleet will then consist of 33 line of battle ships and 10 frigates.
There are letters in town which mention, that the French have extended their late barbarous decree for murdering the English and Hanoverians, to the Dutch and Hessians.
The Spanish admiral Barga's squadron, consisting of ten ships of the line and three frigates, has again sailed from Cadiz, after repairing the damage they sustained upon their first setting to sea to intercept the homeward bound French West Indian fleet. All the French prisoners in Catalonia have been sent to Majorca, and the emigrants into the interior of the kingdom.
A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 19th inst. has the following passage:—So great is the apprehension of an insurrection in this city, that a body of 600 buffaloes have been sent for, and more are expected.
The peace which the Dutch have concluded with the Day of Algiers, on the 27th of March last, was bought by the former at the price of 150,000. Besides a subsidy which is to be paid annually of the sum of 10,000 ducats.
The ship which was unavoidably abandoned at Ostend, contained Government stores to the amount of 30,000. The French estimate the value at 60,000.
Letters from France mention, that the French have now 15 ships ready for sea in Brest water. It is said, that 12 of these are first ships, that were not in the late action.
July 22. On the city of Antwerp the Allied Generals very properly place but little reliance. The great majority of the inhabitants are in fact so disaffected to the general cause, that in case of a siege it could not be expected to hold out three days.
By a person escaped from Ghent, since the French have entered that place, we are told they have formed a cordon to prevent any communication between the Low Countries and France; as the Brabanters are not yet up to the height of the Revolution. They are forced to take the French Assignats under pain of death—and the talk of making a requisition of recruits for the French army.
It is understood that the siege of Sluis, in Dutch Flanders, has recommenced with renewed vigour, and that the place is as vigorously defended—it is completely inundated on the side on which the attack is made.
Nieuport, it is now confirmed beyond farther doubt, has surrendered; the garrison, prisoners of war, have been conveyed to Lisle—The emigrants (boiled to relate) are said to have been all sacrificed at the mouth of cannon!—For the present we wish not to believe this. An application has been made by a flag of truce, to exchange the British Officers who commanded; we know not yet with what success.
By accounts from Wenzel, of the 16th of July, we received intelligence of the surrender of Warsaw to the King of Prussia; further particulars are promised—to this we have to attach the following account, dated from the interior of Poland on the 5th inst., which anticipates a kind of confirmation of the fact.
Kosciusko is stated to have been driven back into Warsaw, which it was expected would be given up to the Prussian troops, before the Russians could possibly arrive.
The Austrians, we also learn, have actually taken possession of Cracow, conformable to an original agreement. It was supposed, that in the course of six weeks tranquility throughout Poland would be completely restored.
THE NEW CABINET, WITH THE GRAND and SUB-DIVISIONS.
Pitt Party. 1. William Pitt—First Lord of the Treasury, and Chancellor of the Exchequer.
2. Lord Grenville—Secretary of State for the Foreign Department. 3. Earl of Chatham—First Lord of the Admiralty. 4. Henry Dundas—President of the Board of Control, and Treasurer of the Navy. 5. Duke of Richmond—Master-General of the Ordnance. Portland Party. 6. Duke of Portland—Secretary of State for the Home Department. 7. Earl Fitzwilliam—President of the Council. 8. Earl Spencer—Privy Seal. 9. William Windham—Secretary at War, (with 4000l. a year in addition.) 10. Earl Mansfield—(with 4000l. a year in addition, for acting as a Cabinet Minister.) Middle Man. 11. Lord Loughborough—Lord Chancellor. King's Party. 12. Lord Hawkesbury—(with 4000l. a year in addition.) 13. Lord Amherst—Commander in Chief.
Such is the New Cabinet! And to this Cabinet, made up of such heterogeneous particles, the people of this country are now called upon to give their confidence! Mr. Burke has truly described as administration of this sort: "He made an administration so chequered and speckled; he put together a piece of joinery, so closely indented and whimsically dove-tailed; a cabinet so variously inlaid; such a piece of diversified mosaic; such a tessellated pavement without cement; here a bit of white stone and there a bit of black; patriots and courtiers, king's friends and republicans, whigs and tories, treacherous friends and open enemies; that it was indeed a very curious show, but utterly unsafe to touch, and unsure to stand on."
Letters from Warsaw, brought by the Dutch mail, state, that another action between the Prussians and Poles took place on the 8th ult. near Chełm; that the Poles were again defeated; but that happily no disastrous consequences had resulted from their defeat. Gen. Kociusko has given orders to the Polish Generals to penetrate beyond the Russian and Prussian frontiers, in order to excite the people to join the Polish patriots.
The British brought off all their stores from Tourney. The French marched into the town at one end, while the Austrians evacuated it at the other.
The French have withdrawn their troops from the frontiers of Switzerland, to reinforce their armies on the Rhine.
The Prince of Cobourg has fallen back to Tirlemont, leaving both Brussels and Namur open to the enemy.
July 25. This morning an extraordinary Messenger who accompanied Earl Spencer to the Continent, arrived at the Duke of Portland's Office. He is said to bring the most favourable accounts of the promised support of both the Austrian and Prussian armies in the general cause. They only wait reinforcements.
We on Wednesday stated that the account of Namur having fallen into possession of the enemy was premature; it however appears that they have entered Malines and Louvain.
The Prince of Saxe Cobourg falls back to cover Liege and Maestricht—he is said to have been joined with a considerable reinforcement of Austrians; meanwhile, a much greater number are advancing to his support.
Mr. Schaw has brought an account to government of some of the latest movements of the armies on the Rhine the particulars of these have not transpired. It is however reported that the Austrians worried with the repeated attacks of the enemy, have retreated across that river.
BRITISH ARMY.
Camp at Konigsh, July 12.
In our present position there is such a scarcity of water, that all the men in the army who have been accustomed to sink wells, or to any similar employment, are immediately to set about the digging of some, that the troops may be supplied with water.
Yesterday we were informed that the enemy had taken Louvain; and we have also learnt that for these two days past they have been bombarding Eclusé, and Sas-de-Gand. Should they gain possession of these, they will immediately pass into Dutch Flanders. In short, every operation of the enemy shews that they are determined to lose no time in completing the conquest of this country.
We hear a heavy firing on the side of Malines, commonly called Mechlin, the enemy as we are informed having attacked that place. The Earl of Moira with a great part of his army has marched to its relief.
11 o'Clock, P. M. The force which the enemy carried against Malines, amounted to between 6 and 7000 men and 5 pieces of cannon with which they kept up a brisk fire on the town for some time. They however began to retreat before Lord Moira's army could reach the place. On this occasion a Captain of O'Donnell's corps was killed: one subaltern with about thirty men were killed or wounded; and several horses were damaged by the shot of the enemy. At the commencement of the attack the garrison with that precipitation and terror which have but too conspicuously marked the conduct of some of our Allies on different former occasions set fire to the bridge across the canal immediately in front of Malines, altho' it turned on a pivot, and could be withdrawn in an instant by which they have deprived themselves of the only means they had either to pursue the enemy or reconnoitre their situation. The French may now approach the town in the smallest parties with impunity, as they know that the garrison has no mode of crossing the canal to molest them either in their approach or retreat.
Sunday, July 13. The present position of the Duke of York and the Earl of Moira's armies, tho' a position necessary to be occupied by some troops, is the most unfavourable that can be conceived for the British to act in; the country being so completely intersected by woods and hedges, that ground can hardly be found to encamp or draw up a single battalion upon. Our formidable cavalry would be entirely useless where we are now; and even the bravery and discipline of our infantry would avail them little where every poltroon, who can fire from behind a tree or an hedge, becomes the equal of an intrepid soldier. The weather has been hot in the extreme for some days past, from which circumstance, and the scarcity of water, the troops have suffered exceedingly.
Monday, July 14. We are beginning to lend off our heavy baggage; and all our sick at Antwerp, about 1200 men, are embarking on board transports to be conveyed to Flushing, which induces us to believe that we shall shortly fall back from this into Holland. Indeed, as this country is now completely lost to the Allies, the sooner we quit it the better; for any action in our present situation, however successful we might be, could not be productive of any one benefit to the Allies.
The Earl of Moira's army are still without tents; but tho' they are huddled very indifferently, there is not a single murmur among the troops, who every day witness their commander, whom they venerate almost to adoration, subjecting himself to the same hardships with themselves—sleeping on his cloak on sand-hills, or in a wretched hut of straw, and not better accommodated than the lowest soldier in his army.
It is impossible to describe what a disappointment the army has experienced by not receiving any accounts or letters lately from England—Baslico, who brought the last dispatches to the Duke of York, left the army bag of letters behind him somewhere on the road. His Royal Highness immediately ordered him to return and bring forward the bag.
Tuesday morning, July 15. Early this morning the enemy made an attempt to pass the Canal that runs in front of Malines, but they were at last repulsed, after a heavy firing of cannon and small arms.
5 o'clock, P. M. The enemy have again advanced, and are now keeping up a very heavy fire, with a view of attempting to pass either the canal or the river in our front. The Earl of Moira has marched to defend the road from Waalheren, and the bridge which crosses that river.
Half past 8 o'clock, P. M. The enemy having succeeded in their attempt to cross the canal, have taken Malines, and are now advancing two miles on this side of it, close to the bridge of Waalheren, within 4 miles of our camp. Lord Moira's army is at this moment drawn up on the banks of the river, to oppose any attempts of the enemy to cross it; and the bridge is covered with combustibles, ready to set fire to, the moment the enemy shall approach. We do not however expect that the enemy will attempt any thing farther to-night; but to-morrow it is probable they will—from dispositions, however, which are now making, we have reason to believe that, by that time, we shall have retreated to Antwerp.
HOUSE OF LORDS. Friday, July 11. At a few minutes before 3 o'clock, the
Lord Chancellor fill absenting himself from the House, the Earl of Lauderdale rose and called the attention of their Lordships to what he conceived to be a conduct of the most inexcusable kind on the part of the noble and learned Lord. His noble friend, (the Duke of Norfolk) had on a former occasion given notice, that he would on this day submit a motion to the House in the present alarming and unprecedented situation of the country. The noble and learned Lord had said, that on this day he would be certain of a full attendance, and that the Session would be put an end to without giving the noble Duke an opportunity of delivering his sentiments. But what ought to be the surprise and indignation of their Lordships, when they observed, that by a trick, which would disgrace any person in a situation infinitely below that of the learned Lord, it was attempted to defeat the intention of his noble friend, and to prevent a motion being made, which if acquired in, might have produced the most salutary consequences. He conceived it therefore his duty to move "this House, do appoint a Speaker, and proceed immediately to business." No proceeding took place in consequence of this motion.
At 3 o'clock his Majesty arrived, and being seated on the Throne, and the House of Commons, with the Speaker at their head, having come to the Bar his Majesty delivered the following most gracious speech:
"My Lords and Gentlemen, The state of public business enables me now to close this Session of Parliament, in doing which I have a again to acknowledge that assiduity and zeal for the interest of my people, of which you have before given me so many proofs, and which have been so particularly manifested in the present year.
"I am persuaded that you entertain too just a sense of the nature and importance of the contest in which we are engaged, to suffer your zeal to be abated, or your perseverance shaken, by the recent successes of the enemy in the Netherlands.
"In a moment which so strongly calls for energy and vigor, it is peculiarly gratifying to me to reflect on the uniform skill and bravery of my fleets and armies; the undaunted spirit and unwearied exertion of my officers and troops in every situation; and the general public spirit of my people, which have never, at any period, been more conspicuous.
"I have observed, with the highest satisfaction, the rapid and valuable acquisitions made in the East and West Indies, the successful operations which have been carried on in the Mediterranean, and the brilliant and decisive victory obtained by my fleet, under the command of Earl Howe, an event which must ever be remembered as one of the most glorious in the naval history of this country.
"Gentlemen of the House of Commons, "I return you my warmest thanks for the cheerfulness and liberality with which you have granted the large supplies which were necessary for the service of the year, and for the maintenance of a cause equally important to the security and happiness of every class of my subjects.
"My Lords and Gentlemen,
"I feel it incumbent upon me particularly to acknowledge your diligence in the investigation of the designs which had been forwarded against the Government and Constitution of these kingdoms, and to thank you for the confidence you have reposed in me on this occasion. It will be a principal object of my attention, to make a vigorous and prudent use of the additional powers vested in me for the protection and security of my people; and relying, as I do, with the utmost confidence, on the uniform loyalty and public spirit of the great body of my subjects, I have no doubt of speedily and effectually repressing every attempt to disturb the public peace, and of defeating the wicked designs which have been in agitation.
"It must not however, be forgotten, that these designs against our domestic happiness are essentially connected with the system now prevailing in France, of which the principles and spirit are irreconcileably hostile to all regular and established Government; and that we are therefore called upon, by every consideration of our internal safety, to continue our efforts in conjunction with my allies, and to persevere, with increased vigor and exertion, in a contest, from the successful termination of which we can alone expect to establish, on a solid and permanent foundation, the future security and tranquility either of this country, or of the other nations of Europe.
Then the Lord Chancellor, by his Majesty's command said,
"My Lords and Gentlemen, "It is His Majesty's Royal will and pleasure, that this Parliament be prorogued to Tuesday, the 13th day of August next, to be then here holden; and this parliament is accordingly prorogued to Tuesday, the 13th day of August next."
Accounts were yesterday received in the city, that the Empress of Russia had declared War against Denmark and Sweden; in consequence of which, in-
urance to the Baltic immediately rose very considerably.
CONTICO, July 18. The French, from their very superior numbers, continue to advance. In the afternoon of the 15th they took Malines. A few Hessians and Tyrolese only were in the place, and they retreated to Walhein in the evening. Next morning they found it prudent to pass the Rupell by the bridge of Walhein, which they immediately burnt. The town the enemy immediately possessed themselves of, and began to erect redoubts on the banks of the river. We did the same on the opposite side, and a heavy cannonade was on after commenced, which was kept up during the whole of yesterday.
The Rupell is a wide and deep river, formed by the union of the Senne, the Demer, and the Dyle, and joins the Scheld at Rupelmonde, 5 leagues N. W. from Malines. The tide flows up to the Lier—While we can prevent the enemy from crossing it, we have little to apprehend.
MAESTRICHT, July 16. Two days ago the French began to bombard the citadel of Namur, which, after having been evacuated, was again garrisoned by our troops. The garrison not only returned their fire, but making a sally, in concert with 500 men under the command of General Letour, attacked the besiegers, and obliged them to retreat with loss, four leagues beyond Namur.
BRUSSELS, July 3. The French armies commanded by Generals Jourdan and Pichegru, are pursuing their plan of forming a junction in the Tournesis or in Hainault. The different columns of their troops that menaced at once Namur and Navelle, have moved rapidly towards Mons. They attacked the camp of Bellegies, between Mons and Vandenheuge. The troops there having been much weakened by repeated drafts from them, were obliged, after a warm action to fall back upon Mons. The enemy following up their advantage, yesterday morning attacked the entrenched camp of the army on Mount Penibolles a very strong post which commands Mons, and of which it was necessary for them to get possession before attempting to enter the town. The action was long, but not bloody, our troops retreating in good order to Mons. The enemy entered Mons at night in the evening, and our troops evacuated it by one gate, while they came in by another.
The ship George Barclay arrived in London, the 9th July.
Letters from Falmouth (Eng.) of the 26th July inform, that the price of grain was greatly reduced, in consequence of the great crops in Spain and Portugal—that West India produce was in demand at Hamburg and Amsterdam—and that the French are on the borders of Dutch Flanders.

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 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 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 country 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 roads, &c. and in every one 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 Philadelphia, or this place, relative to this business, will be duly answered. eodgm

Price neatly bound 75 cents. Detected be the pen whose baneful influence Could to the youthful docile mind convey Pernicious precepts, tell loose tales, And paint illicit passion in such colours, As might mislead the unsusppecting heart, And vitiate the young, unsettle judgment. I would not for the riches of the East Abuse the noblest gifts of Heaven thus, Or sink my Genius to such prostitution. Aug. 21. iawtf

NOTICE. THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES is now published at No. 119 CHESNUT STREET—to which place the OFFICE of the Editor is removed, and where PRINTING WORK in general is performed.  C. W. PEALE. EVER solicitous to render his MUSEUM still more and more an object of rational entertainment, and subservient to the interests of useful science, has on the suggestion and with the advice of a number of his friends, provided a Book, which will be always open for the inspection of those who visit his Museum, in which book it is proposed to insert all such discoveries, inventions, improvements, schemes, observations, experiments, projects, hints or queries relating to the arts or sciences, as any of his visitors, or correspondents, may from time to time communicate. Such as may chuse to conceal their names may either send their communications anonymous, or at their desire, C. W. Peale will insert their names, with the number or signature of their respective communications in a private book, which he will keep for that purpose. The advantages of such a public register are obvious. It will rescue from oblivion many useful hints, which might otherwise have died with their authors. It may secure to inventors their just claims, and prevent others from taking the honor or profit of a discovery to which they are not entitled, and as the Museum is now visited by persons from almost all parts of the world, such a register, it is presumed, will soon contain and be the means of disseminating a vast fund of useful knowledge, and promote that spirit of enquiry and invention, for which the people of the United States are already so justly distinguished.

Choice St. Croix Sugar, JUST IMPORTED, And for Sale, By JAMES YARD. Also a quantity of RUSSIA Mats. June 24th. d.
The Public are cautioned to beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States, and Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America, several of which have appeared in circulation within a few days past; they are good general imitation of the genuine Bills, but may be distinguished by the following
M A R K S. Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. ALL that have appeared have the letter F. for their Alphabetical Mark. The Texture of the Paper is thicker and whiter and it takes the ink more freely than the genuine paper. The O. in the word Company is smaller than the M. and other letters of that word, so that a line extended from the top of the O, to touch the top of the M. would extend considerably above the range of the whole word. In the word United the letters are narrower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The i and f in the word promise are not parallel; the f inclining much more forward than the i. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the device in the margin particularly is much coarser and appears darker than in the true bills. Some of the counterfeits bear date in 1791—Whereas the Bank was not in operation till December, and no five dollar bills were issued in that year. Twenty Dollar Bills of the Bank of North America. ALL that have appeared have the letter B. for their alphabetical mark. They are printed on a paper nearly similar to that of the counterfeit Five Dollar Notes above described; the engraving is better executed, and they approach nearer to the appearance of the genuine bills. The fine ruled lines through the word Twenty, in the body of the bill, are in number thirteen in the genuine bills, and but twelve in the counterfeits. The word Company is much like the same word in the Five Dollar Bills as described above, the o being less than the m, and on others following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters et in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come close to the line, but are so cut as to give an irregular appearance to the word, the Tw and the y going below them. The signature J. Nixon, has the appearance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signature. It is supposed these forgeries were committed in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared have come from thence, and two persons have been apprehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to conviction the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufactured the paper on which the Bills are printed. The person or persons, who engraved the plates. The printer or printers, of the bills. Every person who has acted as a principal in any other way, in the counterfeiting and uttering the said bills. Philadelphia, March 28, 1794
April 22, 1794.
Other counterfeit bills of the Bank of the United States have appeared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the genuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossy surface than the genuine, and there is no water mark in them. The letter C. in the word Cashier, in the true bills is strongly marked, whereas in the counterfeits, the whole letter is a fine hair-stroke, evidently in an unfinished state. The letter a in the word demand, is badly formed and the whole word ill done and there is no comma at the end of it, as there is in the genuine bills. The marginal device, is much darker in the false, than in the genuine bills owing to the shade strokes being coarser, much nearer together, and consequently much more numerous. This difference strikes the eye at first view. The same reward of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS, will be paid for apprehending, & prosecuting to conviction the several above described Offenders in respect to this, as to the last described bills. THOMAS WILLING, President of the Bank United States. JOHN NIXON, President of the Bank of North America. By order of the Committees of the respective Boards.
