THIS DAY IS PUBLISHED, By Thomas Dobson, At the Stone House, No. 41, South Second Street, I. LETTERS addressed to the Philosophers and Politicians of France, on the subject of Religion...

The account of the "Feast in honor of the Deity at Paris," published in the Minerva of Monday, is a new proof of that wild enthusiasm and eccentricity of character, which distinguish the French during the present revolution. The account is offered to the public as an evidence of the national piety of the French. Doubtless the French have as much piety as other nations, but this mode of celebrating the honor of the Deity, is so singular and so Grecian, that one can hardly restrain his risibles at reading the account. They honor the Supreme Being very much as the Greeks did Bacchus or Mars; with the difference however of a discharge of cannon, which is a modern invention.
It seems this exhibition of national piety, consisted of a general parade of men, women and children, in the streets and public squares; of drums rolling, colours crowned with festoons and garlands, drawing a car loaded with instruments of agriculture and the arts—and the people uniting in songs and oaths, expressive of their attachment to the Republic.
All this is well—it is excellent—it has a noble effect on the nation, in cementing the principles of the revolution, and in firing them with enthusiastic courage to persevere and encounter the difficulties that oppose the establishment of peace. But really it seems difficult for us to conceive what all this parade has to do with piety or religion. It has much to do with patriotism, but very little connection with the worship of a Supreme Intelligence.
The truth seems to be that whether the convention are Atheists or believers, it makes no difference in the opinions or character of the nation. The people are the same, whether Danton announces that Death is an everlasting sleep, or Robespierre celebrates a feast in honor of the Deity.
It is not indeed surprising that when the minds of people are wholly occupied with the fate of their country, the Republic should mingle itself with all their thoughts and actions. To render his religion popular. Jesus Christ is sometimes called a Sans Culotte and a good republican; when Robespierre makes a report on National Morality, he mingles with his moral principles, warm invectives against the Girondist party; and when they pretend to honor the Deity, they run into a strain of praising the Republic.
UNITED STATES.
FREDERICKSBURG, Aug. 7.
It is with infinite regret we record the unhappy death of Mr. Robert Galloway; merchant, of this town, who was shot, on Friday morning last, by Mr. Benjamin Grymes, of Eagle's Nest, K. George County, who by some is supposed to be insane.
The circumstances of this tragical affair are as follows: Mr. Galloway was on his way to Boyd's Hole, and seeing Mr. Grymes at his window asked after his and the family's health, and was persuaded by him to alight; as he was leading his horse towards the house, Grymes snapped a pistol at him; he immediately remounted, but at the same instant received two musket balls in his left side, which put a period to his existence.—Grymes suffered the body to lie in the situation he fell for 4 or 5 hours, in order, as he has since confessed, to decoy others, and afterwards ordered it to be thrown into a ditch near his house.—Grymes was not taken till sometime in the evening, as no one dare approach him; at length his nearest neighbour made the attempt and succeeded in getting him from his house, when he was secured, and is now in custody. The coroner's inquest sat on the body, and returned a verdict wilful murder .
Thus fell, in the prime of life, a man whose benevolence of heart and rectitude of conduct, had endeared him to a very considerable acquaintance, who will long lament his unhappy end.—His remains were on Saturday evening brought to town, and on Sunday interred with masonic and military honors.
A day or two previous to the above catastrophe, Grymes made a similar attempt upon Mr. Wm. Hooe, of the same county, and wounded him severely in both arms, so that it is thought he will lose one if not both of them, and perhaps his life.
There are several other instances of unparalleled inhumanity of which he has been lately guilty, that favor strongly of insanity or of the most savage disposition, but as the particulars are not
well known we omit at present to mention them.
PHILADELPHIA,
AUGUST 13.
Extract of a letter from Easton, Aug. 4
"I have sent you the papers, and the one that will give you the most accurate account of the most horrid fire in this Town; you have no idea of its rapidity; we were waked with the alarm, and perceived a thick smoke—and before we could get our clothes on, the flames came over in torrents, and had not the wind fortunately changed to the north-west, nothing could have saved us. To behold the devastation that is made would distress you—Many, many people who went to bed possessing handsome property awakened in indigence, stripped of their all—No adverse event that has yet taken place here, ever cast such an universal damp on people's spirits; the destruction and loss occasioned by the great fire at the fourth part of the town are nothing in comparison with this—The season of the year was then more unfavorable, but the damage is now vastly greater—and the sufferers are more depressed. For every thing, labor, provisions and West India produce of every kind are so much higher, than they have ever been in this town, that there is little chance of the sufferers ever regaining a competency, much less the property they have lost—and many will be hardly able to exist as rents are extravagant—but Heaven we hope will raise them up benefactors."
From the General Advertiser.
In Savoy, the French have had astonishing successes. They have penetrated as far as Ceva, about 30 miles south of Turin, & are at not more than 60 miles from that city westward.
In Rouillon they have driven the Spaniards into their own country, and hold indeed some posts in their territory. By our last accounts, however, which came by the way of Bourdeaux it appears, that Bellegarde, tho' like soon to surrender, was yet in possession of the Spaniards.
Translated for the General Advertiser.
Our last accounts from the seat of war in Rouillon left the Spaniards yet in possession of Port Vendre, Collioure and Bellegarde in the French territory; the following, translated from a handbill published at Bourdeaux on the 31st of May, by order of the representative of the people there, is the latest intelligence from that quarter. The handbill was received by the Vulture arrived on Monday from Bourdeaux.
Copy of the letter written by Gagnon, director of the post office with the army of the Eastern Pyrenees to Artaud, director of the post office, Toulouse.
Head Quarters, Boulou, May 26.
Just as the post is about starting we learn that we have taken Fort St. Elme, Collioure and Port Vendre. The enemy have retired to Puix-Auriols, a mountain where we established last year some redoubts and batteries. It stands before St. Elme, and it is impossible that they can hold out there any time; they will be totally surrounded if they are not already, and then they must surrender at discretion. Bellegarde still remains to be retaken. Its communication with Spain is cut off, we therefore expect it will soon be in our power.
Another letter, dated Head Quarters Boulou, May 27.
We were yesterday mistaken as to the particulars of the victory our brave Republicans had obtained over the slaves of Spain. This is the truth. We have taken fort St. Elme and Port Vendre only, so that the troops had retired under the citadel of Collioure and to Fort l'Etoile, and Mirandou; the Spaniards General demanded to capitulate, but he was not heard. To day, however, we granted a capitulation, as is now ascertained; but one important article of the capitulation is that the garrison are to be prisoners of war, and it is thought to consist of about 4000 men. We are now then truly in possession of Collioure, St. Elme and Port Vendre, Bellegarde remains to be taken. In the mean time our troops are masters of the foundry of Saint Laurent de la Muga, which the enemy attempted to retake; but after a warm engagement we repulsed them, taking near 400 prisoners. Our camp between Jonquiere and Figuera remains, and I hope the victories of yesterday and to-day will still increase the courage of our brethren, in arms, who, however, do not want it, their conduct is above all praise.
FURTHER DETAILS.
HEAD-QUARTERS, May 27.
Capitulation of Collioure.
The garrison composed of 5000 men, will go out 50 steps from the glacis, drums beating; there, they will lay down all their arms and retire unmolested to their country. The six general officers who com-
manded them remain as hostages until the arrival of 5000 French prisoners in exchange.
The Spaniards prisoners of war are not to serve again in the same army, and the 5000 French are not to serve against Spain.
LATE AND IMPORTANT European Intelligence.
From London papers to the 11th June, via St. Croix.
LONDON, May 24.
Yesterday arrived here the mail from Flanders: it brings no particular intelligence of a later date than was received on Sunday by the messenger. General Clairfayt remains at Thiell; the prince of Cobourg's head quarters continue at Jalun; Cambray is invested by General Latour; Maubeuge is observed by the prince of Orange; and the emperor, the duke of York, the arch duke Charles and Gen. Mack, are still at Tournay.
May 28.
The Hamburg Gazette makes mention of M. L'Aigle having been recognized at Warsaw, as Minister from the French Republic.
May 31.
Letters from Mannheim, of May 20, by the Flanders mail, mention, that Oggersheim, Frankenthal, and the neighbouring country, were again attacked by the French on the 18th, in the morning. The enemy plundered all the houses and churches, and particularly took away with them all kind of iron-work, and other metals, to be found. They likewise stripped the trees of the unripe fruit, which they carried off. The enemy has again shewn itself, in very great force, in the environs of the Rhine.
Letters from Vienna, dated May 14, mention, that advice is received there that the spirit of insurrection & anarchy has shewn itself in the province of Croatia, and that the students at Agram, lately erected a tree of Liberty at that place.
Letters from Constantinople mention, that disturbances are extremely general in that capital; and that the people seem determined upon a war with Russia.
June 2.
Letters from Stockholm mention, that all ranks of people in Sweden are united in the resolution of sending such a force to sea, as will protect the honor of the Swedish flag. The Danish fleet is nearly ready for sea.
June 3.
The French still continue in force at Menin and Courtray. As a measure of precaution, very strong entrenchments are forming on all the heights about Tournay; the fortifications of which place are likewise made more strong. The Austrians are likewise fortifying Oudenarde, in case the French should attack it. General Mollendorff has obtained some very important advantages over the French towards the Rhine.
By letters from Leghorn, dated May 26th, we learn, that the Sardinians, in consequence of the Viceroy, and all the ministers of that island, who are to a man statesmen, after having in vain solicited that the public employments should be bestowed on Sardinians alone, seized the Viceroy, Bishop, and all the Piedmontese and Genoese ministers. The former of these was defended by the military; but the peasants armed themselves, and after defeating the troops, took possession of the palace, and shut up their prisoners in a convent, putting them afterwards on board a ship bound to Turin.
The Sardinian peasants have sent a messenger to the king of Sardinia, intreating that his son may be appointed Viceroy, and none but Sardinians employed on the island. Every thing at Cagliari is quiet; the nobles, clergy, and people being on the best terms.
Letters from Posenania and the Polish frontiers, down to the 22d ult. state that the king of Prussia reached that city on the 16th ult. where it is supposed that a Congress will be held between the Ministers of the different courts interested in the fate of Poland.
The Prussian General Favrat attacked the Polish camp at Skola on the 19th ult. early in the morning; this camp had been left there by Koscioszko to cover Cracow; but the Poles, instead of suffering the Prussians to come up with them, fled with the utmost precipitation towards Cracow; leaving behind them two magazines and a great number of Pikes, Scythes, &c. A part of their camp was on fire, but by what accident it is not known.
Another Polish corps, stationed behind Skola, as far as Ivaniswicz, fol-
lowed the example of the former, who consisted of between 4 and 5000 men. The Prussians only lost one horse, and the Poles had one man taken, and another killed. The Prussian Hussars, who pursued them, closely, took a Polish General by the name of Wirszkowski, who was on his flight to Cracow, under the escort of some National Cavalry.—The Hussars took him and his whole equipage. He offered a corporal of the Prussian regiment of Trenck the sum of 1000 ducats, if he would suffer him to escape, and promised him that the money should be paid by the Pastor of the next village; but the Prussian soldier carried him straight to General Favrat.
The King of Sardinia has published two edicts: one of them prohibiting emigration, and the other, enjoining the inhabitants, without distinction, to be ready to take up arms when called on for that purpose.
Letters from Turin, dated May 14, announce, that the Sardinian General Colli fell back with his army to the Burgh of St. Dalmazzo, where he occupies an advantageous position to cover the city. General Argenteau having left a strong body of men at Ceva, and in the entrenched camp before that place, marched with the remainder of his army towards Chiusa, to join General Colli, who had been reinforced by four regiments of cavalry.
June 9.
By the recent successes of the Prussians and Austrians on the Rhine, the Allies were as much advanced on the 28th ult. as they were in the month of November last year. The want of a sufficient force to supply the lines of Weissenbourg, have obliged the French to break them up without hazarding an action. It is expected that Sarre Louis will be speedily besieged.
June 10.
Yesterday the privy council met at one o'clock. The only persons examined were, Mr. Sharpe, the engraver, and Mr. John Williams, wine merchant, of Leicester fields, who underwent a long examination: the latter was afterwards discharged. Mr. Sharpe was remanded back into custody.
Mr. Pierfon, of the temple, was admitted to bail; himself in the sum of 1000l, and two sureties in 500l each.
June 11.
Yesterday arrived a mail at the Post Office from Halifax, brought to Falmouth by the Portland Packet, Capt. Rogers, in 30 days. This packet has also brought the mail from New-York, which was sent to Halifax in an American ship. Mr. Jay is said to be coming to England on a commission of importance from the United States of America.
The Polish confederacy has become so formidable, that there is reason to suppose the Empress of Russia will formally declare war against Poland.
Advices from Florence state, that Lord Hood has published a proclamation, inviting the Corsicans to form an independent republic, under the protection of Great Britain: and has also invited General Paoli to converse with him at the same time, that he has received full powers from his court to negotiate with the new republic.
The French evacuated Marche, the heights of Hegne and Ichippe, on the 30th ult.—when they successively broke up their other encampments and proceeded towards Dinant and Givet, after having plundered and ravaged the country they abandoned in the Liege territory.
On the 10th ult. the Turkish Rebels marched towards Belgrade, depending on the favorable disposition of the inhabitants, among whom the plague had made great ravages.
Private advices from Turin, dated the 21st ult. positively contradict the article inserted in our paper from one of the foreign Gazettes, stating the capture of Pignerol by the French and the departure of the Royal family from Turin. The Duke D'Aoste was at Pignerol on the 21st, at which time there was no idea of the Royal family quitting Turin.
Two new edicts have been published at Turin; the first of them establishing a poll tax, divided into eight classes, namely, of 300 livres, of 200, 100, 50, 25, 15, 10, and the last of 5 paulis; the heads of families to pay this proportional tax within eight days after the publication. The second edict enjoins the tribunals to apprehend and try, with the utmost rigor of the law, all those who shall be found to entertain Jacobinical principles, and to convict them on the deposition of two competent witnesses.
Letters from Milan of the 13th ult.
state, that a considerable corps of Austrian horse and foot had marched from Asti to Ceva, to replace the division of General Argenteau.
VALENCIENNES, May 26.
"Early this morning news reached us, that the Austrian General of artillery, count Kaunitz, (son of the prime minister) most ably supported by the Imperial generals, prince Reuss and general Kray, availed himself of the moment, to attack all the enemy's positions between Mons and the Sambre, with the greatest resistance he found at Pechant, and near the town where the Republic was entrenched.
They bore down all the enemy's positions; and this glorious action has been experienced by the enemy. They have lost all their ordnance, 120 waggons with baggage, ammunition, provisions, &c. and even the greatest part of their muskets; three battalions laid down their arms; and their loss, in killed, wounded, and prisoners is immense. Several thousands, most of them cavalry, have been drowned in the Sambre; 52 pieces of cannon and 2000 prisoners arrived yesterday at Mons. The remainder of their army are scattered up and down the opposite banks of the Sambre, and not the smallest corps remains on this side of that river. The beneficial consequences of this important event are beyond all calculation.
"At the same time that we state the loss of the enemy, we cannot say that ours has been likewise considerable. The battle of the 24th, and the preceding day, though it has covered our troops with glory, has been fatal to many of them. Our loss is calculated very early at two thousand men."
"The Imperial treasure had previously been removed from Brussels to Antwerp; and General Kaunitz had received orders, in case the enemy should press upon him with too great superiority in number, to fall back upon Mons, and thence upon the grand army. A general consternation spread from Mons to Brussels; and even the least alarmed began to doubt. All our fears are not only relieved, but we may also hope for brilliant successes in that very quarter, whence we were threatened with destruction. General Beauharnais, replaced by a corps of Prussians, lately arrived in Luxembourg, has marched against Philippeville; and the enterprising genius of this gallant General, who, in an uncommon degree, possesses the talent of fighting the Carmagnols, entitles us to expect, that his enterprise will be crowned with success."
"In our neighborhood, every thing remains in its former position; and no military event has happened worthy to be recorded in your paper."
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 27.
A member of the National Convention of France arrived here yesterday. His entry was magnificent, and he appeared with the bonnet rouge on his head. The object of his mission is not yet known; but it is said, that it is for the purpose of pointing out to the Porte the policy and necessity of supporting the Polish patriots against Russia and Prussia, and of promising, that if this system of policy is adopted, the French will protect with their fleets the trade of Turkey.
May 10.
The Sieur Teinville, the newly appointed French Agent to the Divan, having demanded a conference with the Reis Effendi, it was refused, and the Minister's Interpreter sent to know the will of the Agent. The latter offered engineers, gunners, ship-builders, land and sea officers, subsidies, and in short, whatever could be useful to the Turks, if they should think proper to make a diversion in favour of his nation. These propositions were but indifferently received.
YPRES, May 27.
"A Republican corps of about 7000 men, commanded by general Defourbeaux, is still encamped at Vitschate, between here and Messines, which sends its patrols as far as St. Eloy, about a league distant from us. Our town, therefore, continues in a state of siege; one gate only is open; no one is allowed to enter or leave it without sufficient passports—and a part of our garrison watches every night in our out-works. Our tranquility is however undisturbed, and we do not entertain the least fear of the enemy, having every reason to rely on the strength of our fortifications, which has been much increased by an inundation."

tion that covers a great part of the surrounding country; on the bravery of our garrison, and the intrepidity and talents of our Governor, Major-General Salis.
Camp near Thourout, May 27.
Our position, as well as that of Major-General White's brigade, which has been joined by about 500 recruits that were left behind at Ostend, is the same. The Republicans have left of troops their camp at Moorsele, and from the point of repassing the Lys with their whole force, without giving us the trouble of attending them home. Count Walmoden's column is at Oudenarde, and General Clairfayt continues to be reinforced; but the operations for which they are destined have not yet begun. The night before last Major-General Hammerstein, who commands our brigade, returned from Thielt, where he had a conference with Count Clairfayt. In all probability our stay here will not be long.
BRUSSELS, June 6.
On the 3d inst. at break of day, the army under the command of his Imperial majesty, attacked all the French posts on this side the Sambre, and after an action of several hours, entirely routed them. By this action Charleroi is completely relieved. At the same time the Austrian and Dutch infantry drove the enemy from the forest of Hutte. The Emperor, at the head of the cavalry, marched from Nivelles to Fleurus where the French had collected their principal force. In the afternoon his majesty entered Charleroi, and after inspecting the fortifications, proceeded in pursuit of the enemy.
The column commanded by General Alvinci was equally successful, and formed a junction at Morin de Jumet with the former column. The General next proceeded to Marchiennes, where he gave time to the French to bury their dead. In the environs of Groesbeek, the cavalry cut in pieces a great number of French; and by three in the afternoon, the enemy fled on all sides.
May 27.
The signal victory obtained by Count Kaunitz, was equally due to the military talents of that General and the bravery of his troops. On the evening of Friday, the 23d inst. the Count made a feigned retreat towards Mons; and the better to persuade the enemy that this retreat was occasioned by the terror of the Republican troops, he employed his people in digging entrenchments. The French fell into the snare, and took no further precaution against any future attack. At day-break on Saturday morning, the Austrians surrounded the French advanced guard, fell unexpectedly on the main body, and had defeated the left wing before the enemy had time to rally. The Carmagnol cavalry had not even an opportunity to saddle their horses, inasmuch that each of the Chasseurs of Mahoni carried off with him either one or several French horses. All the pontoons were either taken or destroyed, and 52 guns, and as many artillery waggons, fell into the hands of the conquerors. Besides the French who fell in the action and pursuit, 1455, who were surprised at Binche, were obliged to surrender themselves prisoners of war.
We this moment learn that Count Kaunitz yesterday obtained a new advantage over the Carmagnols, who lost their baggage and 16 guns. We have as yet no precise accounts of this affair, but learn that the 4000 French who had sought refuge in the woods, had been attacked in an endeavor to retreat, and that two battalions had laid down their arms.
June 3.
The night before last the Emperor slept at Nivelles, and reached Fleurus yesterday. Our troops stationed on the banks of the Sambre, are superior in number to those of the regicides; notwithstanding the latter have received large reinforcements from West Flanders.
Yesterday all the French posts between the Sambre and the Meuse were attacked, and after some resistance carried. And this day an attack is to be made from Maubeuge to Charleroi. Our troops are now advancing towards the enemy in five columns; and Gen. Beaulieu is to take them in flank. The siege artillery which was at Mons, is now on its way to Maubeuge, inasmuch that it is presumed the latter place will be besieged, as soon as the Carmagnols are driven to the other side of the Sambre. At the camp of Rouffli, in which against them the whole strength of Maubeuge is concentrated, they have no troops, having been obliged to call them off from thence, in consequence of the losses their army on the Sambre has sustained.
The Emperor has announced his departure from the Netherlands; and the States having previously notified to him their wish to grant the levy of men demanded, and agreeable to the mode they had heretofore objected to. It is thought, however, he will not finally depart the country until some signal success shall have been obtained by the allies; and West Flanders be evacuated.
May 31.
The French, on the 26th instant, under cover of the woods of Alne, situated
on both banks of the Sambre, contrived to cross that river in three points, and are now nearly in the position in which they were defeated. On the night of Charleroi they have pushed their advanced posts to Gosselies, so as to prevent a direct communication with that city. Our troops are advantageously posted in front of the enemy, at the same time that the high road to Nivelles is protected by a considerable body of troops.
PARIS, May 28.
The National Convention have lately decreed the formation of a Military School in the plain of Sablons, near Paris. The heads of this decree are: That there shall be sent to Paris from each district of the Republic six young citizens, from the age of 16 to 17 and a half, to receive, by a Revolutionary education, all the knowledge and habits of a republican soldier. They shall come to Paris on foot, unarmed, and travel as the defenders of the Republic. The National agents of the district shall take such measures that the Eleans of their vicinity shall march ten days after the receipt of the decree. The Eleans of the military school shall be clothed, armed and fed at the expence of the Republic. They shall be exercised in the use of arms, the manoeuvres of infantry, cavalry and artillery. They shall learn the principles of the art of war and fortification; they shall be trained to fraternity, discipline, frugality, good manners, love of their country, and a hatred to king's; and be under the immediate inspection and management of the Committee of Public Welfare.
MANHEIM, May 18.
The advanced guard of the Imperial army has crossed the Rhine. The army commanded by General Kalkreuth is to be augmented to 25 battalions and 40 squadrons.
May 22.
The camp near Schweitzingen is daily augmented, and was yesterday reinforced by 3 regiments, besides a large train of artillery, and several ammunition waggons. It is to consist of 40 battalions, and 32 squadrons, which with the artillery, will form an army of 44,400 men. The corps of Conde has reached Rastadt; and in eight days the Austrian army will cross the Rhine.
On Sunday last the enemy carried off from Oggersheim all the bells and iron materials belonging to the churches and the Elector's palace. Eight French deserters, among whom was an officer, arrived here yesterday, with an account that the Republicans were about to cover Sarrelouis with 60,000 men, and to station 10,000 on the heights of Biles.
TOURNAY, June 6.
About the middle of this day, Lord Cornwallis left this for Brussels, where there is to be a council of war held to-morrow, and where all the powers are to send commissioners.
WARSAW, May 12.
On the 8th instant a circumstance occurred which caused much conversation here. In the afternoon, the king took his ordinary walk and crossed the river Wistula towards Prague. A report immediately prevailed that the king not being acquainted with it, he returned to this place.
A report prevailed at the same time, that the Russians and Prussians were on their march hither. In half an hour the whole town was armed, and cannon drawn out of the arsenal. It was however soon discovered that the rumour had been spread abroad by persons who were known to be attached to the Russian interest. Among these were Count Auckwitz, and Gen. Zabiello, who, with several others were instantly arrested. The people wished to hang these persons instantly; but on being assured that they should be tried the next day, and punished if found guilty, the mob was appeased.
On the morning of the 9th, the Provisional Council assembled at the Senate-House, when the marshal of the other side, count Auckwitz; in crown, Ozarowski; count Zabiello, Kossakowski, bishop of Liefland, and count Zabiello, were brought forth and made acquainted with the charge laid against them. In the afternoon, after a trial of four hours, they were all hanged on four different gallowses. Kossakowski was executed on a gallows erected before a convent; and it is said, he requested to be first permitted to receive the sacrament, but this grace was refused him. The mob, both men and women, testified great joy. Under each gallows were inscribed these words: Punishment for the Traitors to their Country. During the execution, the streets were filled with people under arms; there was no disturbance whatever. The bodies hung till 11 o'clock at night, when they were carried out of the town, and buried in the same manner as is usual with other prisoners. It is hoped that the people will be satisfied with these executions.
THOUROUT, June 2.
All the troops in our neighbourhood are in motion. Three columns of Carmagnols, proceeding from Menin, Baiecal and Furnes, each about 8000 men strong, marched early this morning against Knoeque and Dixmude, and attacked both places. The former was defended by a small detachment of Hessian troops, and 1000 Flemish volunteers, commanded by Capt. Hack, of the Austrian regiment of Clairfayt; that officer, who united every talent requisite for such a command; and the latter by some Hanoverian troops. The Republicans have been repulsed; but in case they should return with a stronger force, the garrisons of both places, are reinforced by the legion of La Chastre, and a part of General Hammerstein's brigade. The destination of the other troops encamped near our place is not yet known.
The Republicans have also last night and this morning, made incursions into Awekdinghen, Businghen, and other villages near Ypres, and seem now determined to invest the latter place. None of them have been seen to-day at Rousselaer, and their patrols on that side have pushed no further than Bofelaer.
SOUTHAMPTON, June 7.
The army under the Earl of Moira have begun to pitch their tents on Sholing Down, near Itching ferry, about a mile from this town. There are about six regiments on the ground, and many more from Ireland, Scotland, Guernsey and Jersey are daily expected. It will when complete, be the largest camp ever formed in England, consisting of from 25 to 30 thousand men. It is expected they will cover all Sholing Down and part of Barford common, an extent of near four miles, an excellent piece of ground and well supplied with water, in a most convenient situation for embarkation.
LEGHORN, May 15.
The Leostoffe, an English frigate brought in here a French prize, laden with coffee, and bound for Genoa. Several Sardinian vessels have arrived here with the Viceroy, and the officers and the persons holding public employments in that island. When the insurrection broke out, the court of Turin had dispatched another Viceroy, who, it is thought, will be obliged to return.
OSTEND, June 6.
The Carmagnols succeeded the night before last in erecting two batteries against Ypres, near a Chateau, called the castle of the seminary, on the side of Flamerchingen, & began to fire upon the town. Their whole battering train, however, consisted of two mortars and two 24 pounders. They cannot entertain the least hope by attempts like this to reduce that town the garrison of which was yesterday reinforced by two Austrian regiments of foot detached from General Clairfayt's army; but they may destroy the houses if they are not driven back to Baillieu and Comines, from whence they came. The convent of the Grey Sisters is by their bombs reduced to a heap of ruins and about 50 houses have been damaged. None of the inhabitants have yet been killed.
DUBLIN, May 31.
Our accounts from Cavan, respecting the late disturbances are of a dreadful nature. A letter from one of the militia, quartered at Cavan, states, that, by the nearest computation, from 100 to 120 of the defenders were killed, with a loss on the other side of but one killed and three wounded. The defenders were first attacked by the light company of militia, consisting of an officer, 26 rank and file, a drummer and sergeant. This party was twice beat from Ballinagh, by a continual fire from the windows; the grenadiers, however, attacked the insurgents on the other side, and having thus hemmed them in, set fire to all the houses save two, killing every man that attempted to escape. Numbers were burned in their habitations. The defenders are represented to have amounted to between 9 and 1200. Those who have not been killed are effectually beggared by the ravages of the conflagration. Numerous gloom the roads ever since, and many survivors being afraid to own or search after their deceased friends, numbers lie in the burned houses. Eight prisoners were taken, three of whom are leaders; one of these have turned king's evidence, from whom a disclosure of the principals may be expected.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) June 10.
We are glad to find, by the last arrivals from Africa, that the situation of the Siere Leone settlers is much improved; both in an amended climate and securing a regular supply of live stock of every description. The quantity of ground that has been cleared and drained is so considerable that the
inhabitants are no longer exposed to the effects of those exhalations which at first proved so fatal, and the European cattle, poultry, &c. have bred in great abundance.
PHILADELPHIA.
A person arrived in town from Pittsburgh the night before last—the intelligence by him is substantially as follows: That the meeting proposed to be held in Braddock Field last Friday week, took place—that between 4 and 500 persons, in arms, were supposed to be present—that the whole body marched from thence to Pittsburgh—that they sent a deputation to Major Butler, commanding officer of the continental troops in the garrison there, to inform him that the movement of the people toward Pittsburgh was merely to see their friends and that they had no hostile intentions respecting the garrison or the public stores. That Major Butler informed them he was under no apprehensions but if they meant to keep out of danger, they must not come within reach of his cannon—that the whole body took a circuitous, distant route by the fort—entered, and marched through the town and dispersed—We are further informed that Major Isaac Craig of Pittsburgh, has been proscribed by the rioters—but is safe within the fort—further, learn that Messrs. Findley, Smith and Gallatin are indefatigable in their exertions among the people to restore peace and good order.

THE PIGOU.
Yesterday arrived in town from Halifax, via Salem, in 5 days, Capt. Lewis, late commander of the ship Pigou, American Indian, carried into Halifax by the Blanche and Hussar frigates. The cargo of the Pigou had been wholly condemned, before Capt. Lewis left Halifax; but decision had not been had on the ship. 25,000 dollars of this cargo had been insured in this town, a bona fide American property—a piece of weighty evidence that was not known at her trial, and which might possibly have materially effected the sentence. Capt. Lewis rather declines conversation on the affair; and makes but few observations on his treatment, the trial, &c. He was promised the relinquishment of his own adventure; but had not procured it when he left Halifax.
An Embargo had taken place at Halifax, on all vessels bound to the United States before Capt. Lewis left there; and he came to Salem in a small boat with which he and others eluded the embargo.
The Argonaut, of 64 guns, and L'Oiseau, of 38, of Admiral Murray's squadron, had arrived at Halifax conveying in 14 sail of the French provision fleet.
The Beaulieu, 40 guns, the Alarm, 32, the Quebec, 32, and the Zebra, 16, had failed on a cruise off the American coast.
A report prevailed, that there had been an action in the English channel, and that eight French ships of the line had been taken, and four sunk.
It is with great pleasure that we communicate the following intelligence to the public, viz.
That the New North Congregation, and the Congregation in Brattle-Street, have generously and without solicitation raised the salaries of their Ministers three dollars per week, on account of the very high prices of the necessaries of life.
The following is an exact copy of a printed advertisement, posted in the streets of Newbury-Port, a few days past.

Foreign Intelligence.
VIA BOSTON.
LONDON, May 28.
Accounts from Paris announce the condemnation and execution of 31 farmers-general on the 8th for mal-practices. A number of ci-devant nobles were guillotined on the same day.
The imperial Government has been in possession of several important acts thro' the flight of Monsieur Montgaillard, a Member of the National
Convention, who foreseeing that Robespierre was about to land him over to his sanguinary Tribunal, made his escape from Paris on the 6th inst. and had the good fortune to reach the Austrian Netherlands in safety. This gentleman states, that thro' the whole extent of France there are Four Hundred and Fifty Thousand Persons in a state of imprisonment! that 600 millions of livres (upwards of 28 millions sterling) in specie are deposited in the National Treasury. He further asserts, that seven tenths of the property of that kingdom are at the disposal of the Committee of Public Welfare, in consequence of the seizure of the effects of the Clergy, the Emigrants and other persons either guillotined or imprisoned; and that Robespierre exercises a despotic authority over the Convention, which in his hand, is become merely a cypher.
Government have also received certain intelligence, (probably by Captain Douglas) that a short time ago Mr. Hamilton Rowan landed near Brest. At first he was arrested as a spy; but on finding who he was, and what was the occasion of his flight, the Municipality received him with the greatest honors, and he was drawn to the Town-house by horses, decorated with ribbons, &c.
HOUSE OF COMMONS,
May 20.
Mr. Secretary Dundas took notice of our West-India possessions. He adverted to the state they were in at the conclusion of the last peace, and observed that the advantage of our late acquisitions must be very great in a commercial and other points of view; the whole of the sugar-trade in the world would soon, he expected, be in our hands; for much of this, under the will of heaven, we were indebted to the glorious exertions of Sir Charles Grey and Sir John Jervis, and the officers and men under their command, to all of whom he paid the warmest compliments for their patriotism, exertions, and courage. He begged to take to himself no other share in the merit than that of having had the good fortune to select and recommend to his majesty's service, men who had gained to their country such signal advantages, and to themselves immortal honor. Having specified the merits of the officers and men, he concluded with moving, "That the thanks of the house be given to Sir Charles Grey, Knight of the Bath, for his noble, gallant, and meritorious conduct in the West-Indies; the same to Sir John Jervis; and also to all the officers under the command of both—to be transmitted to them from the speaker of that house; the approbation also of the house of the conduct of all the non commissioned officers—also of all the men employed—to be transmitted to them by their different Captains."
Mr. Sheridan did not oppose, but highly applauded these motions; but observed, that the Secretary of State, at the time he bestowed on these gallant commanders, officers, and men, laurels which they deserved so well, took care to reserve to himself a pretty bushy twig of the tree, at the very moment he would seem to decline accepting it. He had hinted also at the advantage we had gained since the conclusion of the peace, seeming to insinuate that the peace was improvidently concluded; he should have been a little more tender on his own connections, for a right honorable friend of his was in administration at the conclusion of that peace. He thought, therefore, that those extraneous topics might have been spared: he knew not with what view they were introduced, unless by way of a set off to what happened in the Mediterranean. Having said this, he must again repeat that he approved of all the motions themselves, and the more so as they included the common men, who had as much claim to our approbation as their superiors in station; he felt himself not a little pleased in reflecting, that most of the common sailors in the affair were Irishmen; they had behaved bravely, and excited our admiration; and this, he hoped, proved there was no danger to the public cause in putting arms in the hands of Roman Catholics.
Mr. Secretary Dundas said he did not, in any thing he said, mean to detract from the merit of any of the officers or men.
Mr. Sheridan admitted he had not; he only seemed a little eager to share of the laurels; and by an allusion to the former peace, and that we had gained great advantages since, he might convey to our allies in this war, an idea, that they too may have some interested motives, independent of the great, good and glorious, common cause of restoring to the world, order, morality, and religion.

GUTHRIE'S GEOGRAPHY Improved.
THE subscription for this work on the original terms, of twelve dollars and the binding, will be closed this day—and on Monday the subscription will open at four- teen dollars, exclusive of the price of bind- ing.

These maps have ne- ver been given in any former system of Geography, and, it is hoped, would alone be sufficient to entitle this work to a pre- ference to any other edition of Guthrie. N. B. The map of the United States, which is compiling by Mr. Samuel Lewis, from the respective state maps, will be far more complete than any one yet published, and be printed on two large sheets of paper, nearly the size of the late Mr. Mur- ray's map.

To which a MEDAL was adjudged, by the Teylerian Society at Haarlem. Corrected and Enlarged, by WILLIAM LAWRENCE BROWN, D. D. Professor of Moral Philosophy, and the Law of Nature, and of Ecclesiastical History; and Minister of the English Church at Utrecht. Aliquid semper ad communem utilitatem afferendum. Cicero.
The First American Edition. THE grand principle of Equality, if rightly understood, is the only basis on which universal justice, sacred order, and perfect freedom, can be firmly built, and permanently secured. The view of it exhibited in this essay, at the same time that it represses the insolence of office, the tyranny of pride, and the outrages of oppression; confirms, in the most forcible manner, the necessity of subordination, and the just demands of lawful authority. So far indeed, from loosening the bands of society, that it maintains inviolate, e- very natural and every civil distinction, draws more closely every social tie, unites in one harmonious and justly proportioned system, and brings men together on the even ground of the inherent rights of hu- man nature, of reciprocal obligation, and of a common relation to the community.

The Public are cautioned Beware of counterfeited Five Dollar Bills of the Bank of the United States. 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 imitations of the genuine bills, but may be distinguished by the fol- lowing 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 nar- rower and closer together than the rest of the bill. The t and f in the word promise are not parallel, the f inclining much more forward than the t. The engraving is badly executed, the strokes of all the Letters are stronger and the devi-e 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 simi- lar to that of the counterfeited 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 num- ber 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 o- thers following. There is no stroke to the t in the word North whereas in the genuine bills the stroke is well defined. The letters ent in the word Twenty, to the left hand at the bottom, do not come down 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 appear- ance of being written with lamb-black and oil, and differs from other inks used in printing the bills and the cashier's signa- ture. It is supposed these forgeries were commit- ted in some of the Southern States, as all the counterfeits that have appeared, have come from thence, and two persons have been ap- prehended in Virginia, on suspicion of being the author of them. The reward of ONE THOUSAND DOL- LARS will be paid to any Person or Persons who shall discover and prosecute to convic- tion the several offenders of the following descriptions or any of them, viz. The person or persons, who manufac- tured 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 ap- peared in circulation. The denomination is of TWENTY DOLLARS, and the alphabetical mark is the letter B. They may be distinguished from the ge- nuine by the following MARKS: The paper of the counterfeits is of a more tender texture and glossier 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 ow- ing 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 Re- spective Boards.
