For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. Penno, The probable issue of the contest at the ensuing election between Billy the Fidler and the little causer, forms a subject for much speculation at the present moment. The relative merits and qualifications of these singular candidates, are daily discussed by their respective partisans and contribute greatly to the public amusement.
The friends of Billy are willing to admit that he is a hairs breadth shorter than his rival, that he was not instrumental in calling for the Bank of Pennsylvania - the Insurance Companies of North America and of Pennsylvania, the Hospital on State Island with the funds allotted to it &c. &c. as is more particularly stated by the orator himself in the Gazette of the United States of the 29th September last; but then they strenuously contend, that Billy in proportion to his means, contributed as much towards all grants of money as the said little orator - and what is of much importance, has had no him under the pretext of legal resistance and constitutional opposition in promoting the insurrection in the western counties and thereby causing an expense of one hundred & twenty thousand dollars to the State of Pennsylvania and perhaps one million to the Union - On the contrary, Billy's friends are ready to prove, that he has at all times demeaned himself to the laws and endeavored with the aid of his fiddle and a clear conscience, to promote good humour among his fellow-citizens.
The advocates for the little orator content themselves with observing - that loquacity and veracity of disposition - the acquisition of a great deal of property - the rendering of the laws odious to induce revolution, and the absence of all virtue but that of money, constitutes the qualifications necessary for the person who is to represent their feelings - whether they have been fortunate in their choice is for the public to determine.
Although we have not been favoured with the name of the chairman of the meeting at which Billy was unanimously nominated, yet, as he was never known to draw a long bow , justice requires, (the cases being strictly similar) that we should yield as much credit to his statement of the business, as has been given to the declarations of his Antagonist.
CIVIS.
For the Gazette of the United States.
Mr. Penno,
YOUR Correspondents as usual are not merely satisfied to commend the present member of Congress Mr. F. but proceed to abuse and traduce the rival candidate Mr. S. in your paper of Saturday - That gentleman is charged as not being uniform; not possessing a sound judgment; as being fond indeed of getting money, but no way liberal in the use of it; as being opposed himself to the Constitution of the United States; and a tool of those who are so - To all who know him these charges are beardless arrows. It happens indeed unfortunately for T. T. that in general the judgment of his favorite Mr. F. on matters of Finance and Banks has been wrong, which experience has proved. He indeed has been uniform, but uniformly in error on these points. With respect to the liberality of Mr. S. I believe there are few public institutions in the City that cannot bear witness to it and in the late dreadful calamity of the yellow fever it was to this same liberality, that the defenceless orphans owed a comforting roof - Where has Mr. F. exceeded him in this way? With respect to the Constitution of the United States Mr. S. admires it to the full as much as Mr. F., and never in his life opposed it; and as to his being a tool to party, his Independence is too well known, and his support from all parties too notorious, to say much on that head. Finally, if the public be determined to support Mr. F. they may easily do so without pouring any ridiculous and foolish abuse on Mr. S. The merits of Mr. F. cannot stand in need of this auxiliary, and I believe such kind of conduct is never in the long run injurious, but to the calumniating authors - If Mr. S. hath been induced by the kindness of his friends and of the public to serve them in any official situation, it is certainly no proof of an overweening fondness for money, which is more surely to be acquired by his own private avocation, in an extensive scene of commercial life - It is rather a proof of disinterestedness, and of his zeal to be useful to his fellow-citizens, which ought rather to draw their esteem, whether successful or not than to excite the illnated flurries we have seen.
PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 13.

A CARD.
As the children of Israel are to be assembled together To-morrow P. M. in order to support the interest of a man who offers himself as a candidate, and as it has been proved by long experience that they have been unruly and turbulent when their Rulers were empty, notice is hereby given that at a certain hotel a collation truly republican, from its strength and solidity, will be prepared for their entertainment - Whiskey hot from the still (and unexcised) with rounds of good beef will be dealt out plentifully.
N. B. No provision to be brought away in the pocket, as the broken meats are promised to the keepers of the Hotel and Tavern, where, for the benefit of the candidate, large Town meetings of 15 to 20 people have been assembled.
Camp at Norristown, Oct. 10.
IN consequence of orders from the President of the United States, communicated to me, this day, by Governor Howell, commanding the Jersey detachment, I do hereby countermand the march of all such VOLUNTEERS, as have proffered to serve under my command, against the Western Insurgents, who shall not be able to cross the Delaware before the 12th inst. Those who shall have crossed before that time, will march with all possible expedition to Carlisle, and there join their corps.
FRED. FRELINGHUYSEN, Commanding Jersey Volunteers.
Troop-Orders, Camp, near Carlisle, 7th October, 1794.
It is with great pleasure that the Commanding Officer of the Philadelphia Troop of Volunteer Greens, takes this opportunity to acknowledge the obligation he feels himself under to the Gentleman of the Corps, for their orderly and soldier-like conduct, during the whole of the march, and in the present encampment. Their cheerful submission to military duty and unavoidable mode of living to which they were not accustomed, while it evinces an attachment to order and good government, it also proves, in the most satisfactory manner, the superior advantages which are to be expected from a Republic - whose soldiers, are actuated solely by principle.
From the harmony which has been observed to reign in the Troop, and the just sense of duty entertained by individuals, there is every reason to believe, that such of the Volunteer Greens, as have marched on the Western Expedition, will do honor to the Association, and just ice to the cause in support of which their services have been called forth by a government, which it is hoped, will be preserved to posterity.
Return of the Philadelphia Troop of Volunteer Greens, commanded by Matthew M'Connell, now doing duty in the Army of the United States at the Encampment near Carlisle.

NEW-YORK. October 11.
By the Ship Hope, Captain Haley, in 47 days from London, we have received London Papers to the 23d of August from which we have copied the following information.
ROTTERDAM, August 15.
The French are about to raise the siege of Sluys, where they have hitherto made but a very insignificant progress almost all their batteries having been dismounted by the fire of the besieged, and their troops constantly harassed by successful sallies of the garrison. Another reason for abandoning the siege is on account of the inundation, which surrounds the greatest part of the town and of the great number of their sick who are daily conveyed to Bruges on 50 or more waggons. The cannonade has began much to slacken, and only a few cannon that are now tired in the course of a day.
PARIS, August 1.
On the 28th, at night, were guillotined here, the following persons: Maximilian Robespierre, 35 years old, a native of Arras; George Couthon, 38 years old, born at Orsay; A. St. Just, 26 years of age, a native of Littere; A. Robespierre, a younger brother of the above Maximilian; F. Henriot, Commander in chief of the armed force at Paris; Lavalette, ex-noble, born at Paris, Commander of a battalion of National Guards, late a Brigadier General in the Northern army; R. Dumas, 37 years old, born at Luffly, formerly a Lawyer at Lyon-le-Saunier, and late President of the Revolutionary Tribunal and National Guards of Paris; N. Viviers, 50 years old, Judge of the Criminal Tribunal of that department, and President of the Society called Jacobins, in the nights of the 27th and 28th July; C. Bernard, 34 years old, an ex-priest; Genny, aged 33, a vintner; Gobeau, 26 years old, a substitute to the Criminal Tribunal; A. Simon, a shoemaker, and Governor or Preceptor of Louis XVII. C. Laurent 33 years old; Warnee, 26 years of age; J. Forellier, 47 years old, a cannon-founder; P. Guerit, a rent-receiver; Lezard, a hair dresser; Cochefer, an upholsterer; Bogon and Quesne; being all 12 members of the Municipality of Paris, outlawed by a decree of the Convention, and their persons being duly recognized, surrendered to the executioner to be put to death in 24 hours.
We have never witnessed a crowd equal to that which attended their execution. - Women, children, old men, and the whole town were present, (says a morning print, and it is impossible to express the joy pictured on every countenance. All the streets through which the conspirators passed resounded with the following exclamations. Oh the scoundrels - Long live the Republic - Long live the Convention. All eyes were especially fixed on Maximilian Robespierre, Couthon and Henriot, who were covered with blood from the wounds they had given themselves before they were taken.
Henriot (says another paper) even after he had been outlawed by the Convention, was still threatening the Republic; at length forsaken by the patriots, he tried to break his head against a wall, and then concealed himself in a common sewer, out of which he was taken after the most desperate resistance.
The heads of Robespierre, Henriot, Dumas, and some others, were held up and shown to the people, who the whole way from the Place of Justice to the scaffold testified their abhorrence and detestation.
Yesterday the Convention enacted the following decree. "All Members, Judges, Jurymen, and other officers of the Revolutionary Tribunal, are hereby suspended from their functions. But Billaud Varennes having observed that the Revolutionary Tribunal were employed in trying the accomplices of Robespierre, to the number of 71, the execution of the above decree was postponed, till the Committee should have made their report.
The late execution of Robespierre has not made much impression here; all is quiet. The places of Robespierre and his adherents, in the Committee of Public Welfare, have been supplied by Bread, Thuriot and Tallien, and this Committee, as well as that of General Safety, are henceforth one fourth part to be newly elected every month.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, Addition to the sittings of 17th Thermidor, (August 4.)
THE NEW REVOLUTIONARY TRIBUNAL.
The following is an extract from the report of Merlin of Douay, upon the organization of the Revolutionary Tribunal.
"Your Committees have not been labouring four days, to destroy that salutary institution - but merely to ame-
liorate it - to prevent its becoming the engine of injustice and cruelty in the hand of a tyrant. You have often been spoken to of terror - We are to speak to you of Justice. If the terror of the wicked be the triumph of the country; general terror would be the slumber of Liberty and the evidence of Tyranny.
"Virtuous patriots re-assure your minds - the Revolution ought to annihilate all conspirators - but we would not that liberty should reign in solitude over deserts. It is little to have destroyed the tyrannous forms of that dead tribunal, we would that propriety and justice should yet preside over its judgments.
"We shall no more behold involved in the same procedure, the inhabitant of the South, and the inhabitant of the North, amazed at their union, and accused of the same offence, without being known to each other. The conspirators were for having no gradations nor shades of punishment. Death, perpetual Death , was their word of order. We desire that punishment may be proportionate with crime. It is our opinion also that citizens from one end of the Republic to the other ought to be called to exercise the function of jurors.
"But the Aristocrats must not think to triumph - the sword of the law, better directed, will not be withdrawn, it will only strike the guilty with more certainty. Virtue was only upon the lips of the conspirators - we shall bear it in our hearts. They piqued themselves upon speaking well; just men think only of doing well."
The plan of the decree presented by Merlin is divided into 17 heads, which regulate the competence of the Revolutionary Tribunal, their sittings, the arraignment, procedure, and forms of judgment. 1 President, 4 Vice Presidents, 24 Judges, 1 Public Accuser, 4 Substitutes, 1 Register, and 60 Jurors, renewed half of them every 3 months. Such should be the composition of the Tribunal. Four Sections, each of 6 Judges.
None can be taken before the Tribunal, but in virtue of a decree of the Convention, or an order of the Committee of General Safety, or a mandate of arrest from the Public Accuser, in these cases specifying the cause.
The Accused shall have Counsel, and may challenge the Jury, upon sufficient grounds. The question to the Jurors, if their consciences are satisfied, shall not be put until three days have passed in debate.
August 9.
Complete Statement of what passed at the Common Hall of Paris.
On the night of the 9th to 10th Thermidor, Robespierre and his accomplices with the aid of a few wretches, delivered themselves from their state of arrest, and took shelter in the Maison de la Commune occupied by men brought over to their interest. This perfidious Commune instantly sent messengers to the different Sections, to engage a revolt against the National Convention. The greater part of the nuncios were arrested by the sections. The Commune caused the General to be beat, and the tocsin rung; this collected about them a number of citizens, ignorant of their perfidious purposes. However the representatives of the people selected by the convention to direct the armed force, and inform the public of the facts, soon pervaded the whole city.
Two of these, Leonard Bourdon, and Camboulas, arrived at the section Gravilliers about 11 o'clock at night, where ten thousand citizens faithful to the National Representation, waited under arms, the direction where they were to march. Bourdon, a member of that section, called out, "Citizens, the Common Hall is the haunt of conspirators; it is thither we must march. Let the sun shine no more upon tyrants."
The citizens, preceded by their cannon, began their march. A detachment from the military school joined them, headed by their masters. The youngest of these youths remained at their post, where they kept guard night and day, as long as the country was in danger. The Representatives then sent several citizens before, to ascertain the purpose of the troops at the Place de Greve. At the intelligence from the citizens a great part of those troops marched to the Hall of the Convention, the rest said they would execute any orders that should be given to them in the name of the Convention.
However the troop which returned from the common hall, reinforced by two others from the Lombard section took possession of the streets contiguous, and soon drew up there in order of battle. They seized the cannon there, and pointed them with their own. All the entrances to the house were occupied.
To the profound silence, which had attended all these dispositions, now succeeded the general shout of the good citizens, "Vive la Convention Nationale." These cries first gave the conspirators to understand they were alone in their crimes.

The Representatives of the people at the head of 50 fusiliers, now entered the hall. At the same instant, a citizen, who marched at the side of L. Bourdon, was knocked down by the weight of the body of young Robespierre who had thrown himself from the window. That citizen was called Claude Enabru.
We traversed the great hall, whence the conspirators were fled. Upon entering that of the Secretary, the elder Robespierre shot himself in the mouth with a pistol; at the same instant he received a second ball from a Gens d'Armes. The tyrant fell bathed in his blood. A Sans Culotte approached him, and with great coolness said—
HERE IS A SUPREME BEING!
All the other conspirators, as cowardly in their last moments as they had been insolent before, hid themselves in the most obscure places. One was dragged from a chimney, another from a press. Lebas, stabbed in several places, was in a wood-hole; Couthon, also wounded, was behind a desk. They were all arrested, in the utmost quiet. Humanity has nothing to mourn for in the execution of this national justice.
A punch (lamp) with the impression of a fleur-de-lys, was found in the desk, and carried to the Convention immediately.
The citizens watched themselves over the papers and deposits in the hall.
Citizen Albarède, member of the deputation. During the business, a man entered, having the watch word at the gate. I demanded what he wanted: he replied, "Read this paper, and you will know my business." I read as follows:
PERMANENT SITTING OF THE JACOBINS. 9th Thermidor.
"The popular system decrees, that 12 members, taken from among them, and pointed out by name, shall go immediately to the Commune, and take part in their proceedings."
(Signed) "VIVIER, President."
A person present snatched the paper from me, and said he would take it to the popular Representative Le Bourdon. As since then I have heard nothing more of it, I mention it for fear the designing should have suppressed the circumstance from the knowledge of the Convention.
I communicated this in the morning of the 10th Thermidor to Merlin de Thionville.
The Convention ordered these details to be inserted in the Bulletin.
In the sitting of August 2, both Robespierre and David were ordered to be arrested, upon similar pleas with those which arrested Lebon.
LONDON, August 18.
DEATH OF ROBESPIERRE!
[Upon a subject of such vast importance, as the destruction of two tyrannical committees, and the National Convention of France recovering its authority, we cannot be too minute—we shall therefore publish, seriatim, all the particulars of our different Correspondents, not attempting at present to reconcile the discordance of their narratives, but leaving each to be confirmed or refuted by future communications.]
PARISIAN INTELLIGENCE.
Guilt has received its punishment. The regicidal tyrant is fallen from his throne of blood; the guillotine has done an act of justice; Robespierre is no more.
It was on the 27th of the month, [July] that the thunder which destroyed, began to mutter over his head. The tribunes of the Convention and of the Jacobins, resounded with complaints of his tyranny; the proscriptions of the committees; the degradation, contempt and weakness, into which the National Convention had fallen.
In the nights of the 27th and 28th, Barrere and Collot d'Herbois discovered to Tallien and Billaud de Varennes all the secrets of Robespierre, and his two ministers, St. Just and Couthon.
On the 28th, Tallien and Billaud de Varennes, having united all their party, got possession of the tribunes of the Convention in great force. Robespierre, who heard the threatening storm was for absenting himself. St. Just, Couthon, and Dumas, was of the same opinion; but Barrere and Collot d'Herbois, who had betrayed him, ridiculed his terrors, and drew him most reluctantly to the Convention. By the same arts the conspirators seduced Cæsar to his destruction, in spite of the fatal presentiments of his mind.
Robespierre had scarcely entered the hall of the Convention, when Tallien announced that the commandant of the National Guard, Henriot, had been arrested. He then addressed himself to Robespierre, drawing a dagger from his bosom,
"Tyrant, this dagger is destined for thee, if the nation does not cause thee to perish on the scaffold; I attest the sacred bust of Brutus, which you now behold; the terror of all tyrants. I have not condemned my King to death to become the slave of Robespierre." The tribunes shouted with the most eager applause.
Robespierre at first turned pale; but recovering his usual audacity, reckoning upon his ascendancy, his creatures, the terror he inspired, and his popularity; he raised his voice and commenced his apology. He had spoken but a few words, when the whole Convention arose, and with an unanimous shout, thundered in his ear—
"Down with the Tyrant!"
His firmness forsook him. In vain he called upon Barrere, St. Just, and Couthon. Billaud de Varennes ascended the tribune, and proposed against him 20 several heads of accusation.
Barrere followed him. He read an address to the people, in which he unveiled all the crimes of Robespierre and of the committee of public safety. He gave them proofs of this, and accused Collot d'Herbois and himself of having been their accomplices.
He excused this by pretending that without this measure, they could not have been masters of their secrets, nor consequently have revealed them to Tallien and Billaud de Varennes, as they had done, the night gone by. He concluded by demanding the arrest of the two Robespierres, St. Just, Couthon, and Dumas.
This decree was passed unanimously amidst the applause of the tribunes, and they were arrested immediately.
But those who betray are never trusted. Tallien fearing that Barrere might profit by the fall of Robespierre, to raise himself into his place, sent in the night to arrest him, as well as Collot d'Herbois. Upon the arrival of the officers, Barrere stabbed himself. His associate escaped, but the vengeance of Heaven will yet overtake him.
The Revolutionary Tribunal pronounced sentence of death on the two Robespierres, St. Just, Couthon, Dumas and Henriot. The people with inconceivable fury rushed upon the younger Robespierre, and stabbed him at the gate of the prison with an hundred daggers.
It was with difficulty that the guillotine performed its function for the rest. At length the people were sufficiently appeased to suffer their being led to execution. On the way thither, Robespierre had his shoulder broken with a musket ball. In this agony he was dragged to the scaffold to suffer all the pains of death under that guillotine by which he had murdered his lover.
When his head was struck off, the infuriated rabble, whose idol, and whose terror he was only the day before, rushed upon his body, mutilated it with a thousand gashes, and carried the bleeding members in triumph through the city.
Such has been the fate of this famous dictator.
The messenger, who through Basle, brought this intelligence to the Hague, was rewarded by the British ambassador with a purse of ducats.
On the 29th the municipal officers sixty eight in number, who had collected themselves in the hall of the commune and declared for Robespierre, were executed; as was also a deputy who had been a commissioner with the army, and was convicted of being accessory to the plots of Robespierre. A general officer was also guillotined at the same time.
But few lives were lost and these chiefly such as showed an inclination to resist, or who did not heartily support the deputies of the Convention, who were dispatched to the different quarters of the Capital to see the orders of the Convention carried into effect.
Several accounts say the people of Liege fought very obstinately on the side of the French; the latter after an obstinate action on the morning of the 27th, made themselves masters of the Gate of St. Margaret, when the light being carried into the town, by the co-operation of the citizens, it became still more desperate. At the bridge, to which the Austrians were driven, the citizens of Liege, who formed the French advanced guard were of especial service as the Austrians, after many attempts to sustain themselves, were obliged to take refuge under the cannon of the Chartreuse; when the French made three attempts to carry their batteries but were beaten off in their turn. It appears that some of the Liegeois, that fired upon the Austrians, being made prisoners, were carried to Cologne.
A letter from Rotterdam of the 15th
inst. says that the magistrates of that city entertain no unfavourable opinion of British soldiers in their individual capacity, that they have come to a formal resolution not to suffer any of them to enter it.
It is said that Kosciuszko has left the Polish army, and that the city of Warsaw has opened negotiations with the Prussians.
From Paris Papers, up to the 9th of August.
These papers bring an account of victories obtained by the French over the Spaniards—The bombardment of Fontarabia—The organization of the new revolutionary tribunal—A list of nearly 200 persons who have been guillotined since our last accounts—List of prizes taken from the combined powers by the French—the mortality which prevails in the French army in Flanders, &c. &c.
From our correspondence it appears, that the French have made wonderful efforts to take Sluys, which has as yet resisted with glorious effect the desperate assailants. The number of besiegers, appears from our Flushing letter, amounts to 27,000 men; but they were in such a sickly state, and so seriously attacked by a dangerous epidemic disorder, oppressed also by the frequent successful sallies and stratagems of Vander Duyn and his troops, that we are induced to believe, that the French ere now thought it advisable to abandon their project. In one grand assault, the loss of the latter amounted to 1800 men.
The Dutch have purchased of the King of Prussia, a large quantity of heavy cannon, which has been delivered from the fortress of Wesel, and carried down the Rhine to Holland. A vessel, entirely laden with ordnance, is now delivering her cargo at Delft.
Yesterday Government dispatches were received at Lord Grenville's office, from the Earl Spencer at the Court of Vienna, which Lord Grenville forwarded to the King at Weymouth.
August 19.
It appears that the Allied Armies under Prince Cobourg, on the Meuse, and under Prince Hohenlohe and Gen. Moellendorf on the Rhine, are again moving forward, in consequence of the inactivity which has prevailed throughout the French armies for the last fortnight. The commotions in Paris have evidently paralyzed their movements, and has given time to the Allies to take the necessary steps for active operation.
August 20.
We yesterday received the Moniteurs, printed at Paris down to the 18th instant.
The Committee of General Safety has been chosen by a vote of the Convention. The new members are; Esfarchereau, the elder; Bread; Loloi; Thuriot; Tallien, and Treillard. The old members who remain in it, are Carnot, Barrere, Collot d'Herbois; Billaud Varennes; Prieur and Robert Linder. One fourth of the members is to go out every month by rotation, and the Convention has determined that this regulation shall be adopted in all the committees.
Letters from Cologne mention, that General Pichegru and Jourdan have each refused to obey the orders of the new committee of General Safety at Paris.
The siege of Sluys is raised; and it is said that the French have lost in their attack of this place by death or sickness, near 4000 men.
The garrison of Quesnoy has been forced to surrender at discretion to the French. Valenciennes and Conde still hold out; and have occasionally made some sorties against the enemy.
It gives us very great concern to learn, that the massacres have been renewed at Geneva. The Revolutionary Tribunal in Council had previously suspended their sitting for six days; and several respectable persons having been released, some favorable hopes were entertained that those scenes of horror should have terminated. We find however, by letters received yesterday from Geneva, that two of the most respectable magistrates were selected as the first victims of the renewed vengeance of these devils incarnate; viz. M. Fatio, formerly a Syndic; and M. Naville, the attorney general. But so high was the character of the latter, that 17 members out of 21 of this bloody Tribunal acquitted him, on condition of his emigrating the territories of Geneva, and having his property confiscated. The sovereign mob however would not acquiesce in this decision; but forced the prison where he was, dragged him out, and he was immediately shot.
The Tribunal has given notice it would try all the other prisoners confined immediately.
We are sorry to learn that Treves has been taken by Rorn. A letter from Coblenz, the 12th inst. gives the following accounts of this affair.
"General Michaud having received orders from the Convention to take Treves whatever it might cost him, marched thither in consequence on the 8th inst. A French column forced one of the intrenchments situated before that city, in spite of the most vigorous resistance. The Prussian corps in the neighbourhood advanced with great haste but not in time to save the city which the French entered in the 10th. The Austrian troops retired in good order towards Mayence. General Kalkreuth is arrived at Moselle with 15,000 men, but we are assured that the number of the enemy exceeds 50,000. It was not till the fourth assault and after a great loss that the French carried the intrenchments which covered Treves. By the capture of Treves the city of Coblenz is much exposed to the enemy."
FLUSHING, August 17.
Some few days ago, the Carmagnoles were most completely enflamed. Gen. Vander Duyn, in the evening, ordered a large quantity of faggots and other fire-wood to be heaped together in three different parts of the town, not far from the warehouses and magazines, which he set fire to; at the same time keeping up a brisk cannonade from the ramparts.
At nine in the evening, the whole horizon seemed to be in a blaze, and the fire from the town slackening, every one imagined it was in flames, and looked on its fall as inevitable. During the night, the fires at intervals seemed to burn with less vehemence, and one was entirely extinguished.
The French kept up a heavy fire all night, and towards morning fired entirely with red hot shot; and threw bombs and shells into the town from every side.
As day light approached, the Commandant ordered two more fires to be lighted, the gates opened, and the draw-bridges let down; ceasing, at the same time, to fire from the ramparts.
The French on this advanced in great numbers to take possession of the town, before it should be reduced to a heap of ashes; and in a most confused and disorderly manner, crossed the inundations where the water was fordable.
When they had advanced as near as the Commandant wished them to come, they were, to their unspeakable astonishment, saluted with a shower of grape shot from all the guns on the ramparts, and galled in the severest manner during their retreat. They lost on this occasion near 1800 men, who were either killed or drowned; and near 300 wounded were next morning brought into Bruges.
The French did not fire a single shot during the three following days, and now proceed with the greatest circumspection; being pretty well convinced they will not obtain Sluys so easy as they obtained Breda last year.
SPRINGFIELD, M. October 7.
The famous Capt. Hull was tried by the Supreme Court, at Northampton, on the last week, for passing counterfeit money—was convicted on several indictments, and sentenced to stand in the pillory one hour, and to pay a short visit to Castle William—for the term only of—eight years.
William Whiting, late Speculator in the publick clothing in this town was convicted of sundry thefts. He received the discipline of the cat, on last week, and will act as an aid to Capt. Hull, on the Castle through his destined campaign.
Extr. of a letter from Hartford to a person in this town, dated the 4th of this month.
"You will doubtless hear various reports with regard to the sickness in this city. Dr. Hubbard of New-Haven came here last Monday afternoon unwell and died on Wednesday, of the yellow fever, and was buried the same evening. No other person has died of that disorder in this city."
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.
Verbal and written accounts from Amsterdam by the Adriana, state, that the people there are in great alarm on account of the French.
We are assured that bills on Goods unfold, are not accepted by the merchants there—and that vessels are in great demand to transport persons and property from that place.
For the Gazette of the United States.
MR. FENNO,
It is asserted in the General Advertiser of this morning, that the present opposition to the Speaker of Congress is owing to his "voting against the extension of the excise." This statement is an artful attempt to mislead the Public Mind.
The truth is, that this gentleman signed an appeal from Congress to the State Legislature, in opposition to a sacred Law of the Land, and at a very critical moment of Insurgency.
This was an attack on the Constitution as well as on a supreme law of the Union, which to say nothing of the gentleman's filling the Speaker's Chair at the moment, was a very extraordinary step: How much the insult is increased by this conduct of one of its Officers, Congress may judge for themselves—and to will the Citizens, who have votes for true Federal Characters only.

FROM realm to realm, with cross or

Where'er mankind and misery are found,
O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds
of snow,
Great HOWARD journeying seeks the
house of woe.
Down many a winding step to dungeons dank,
Where anguish wails aloud, and fetters clank:
To caves bestrew'd with many a mould'ring
bone,
And cells, whose ebb'd only learn to groan;
—Onward he moves!—Disease and death
retire,
And murm'ring demons bate him, and ad-
mire.

From the French of M. Berquin.
Extraft from the Preface.
"To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be laid, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest ap- proach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imi- tated. The art of amusing child en, whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is rais- ed and the Taste mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the uti- lity of such an undertaking is acknowledg- ed, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem."
"Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce, in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic; the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in threed remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature."
"Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valu- able substitute (where such may be prefer- red) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author."
