A Connecticut Paper.
While other States with faction vexed And Democratic clubs perplexed, We're forced to combat base dissections, From trick by lawless mol. conventions, We're left secure our vines beneath Binding our brows with laurel wreath; Except that once th' appropriation, Made as great noise as if creation, Would soon return to pristine chaos, And no kind hand stretched out to stay us.
But now to pass from small to great, And leave for Continent the State; Have not your souls been roused to fury As we the tale related to you, How sons of whiskey lost to order, Poor excuse now resolved to murder: Caught him and bound him neck and heels, While crowds stood round with gl'ring spears
High raised to strike the deadly blow, When Excise cried for help,—and lo! From States turned out as volunteers. Clapped on their wa'caps 'bout their ears,
Preserved the mountain's All-berry ; Where some no suppers got, and many Quite hard showers were out all night,
Running right on to meet the fight: And now arrived at destined place Finding their lawless foes to face, Behold the rogues had run away, Then quick the victories of the day Was thro' the union highly lauded, In lengthy periods, finely rounded.— And Congress next a month debated, If whiskey-clubs were self-created; A question if its cost we count, Whose worth will rise to great amount. This loss to balance, I here mention, That old STEUBEN gives up his pen
For truth, is he has fought the dust, As every Pensioner ere long must; An idea fraught with consolation To every after generation.—
From a Virginia Paper.
To the People of Frederick and Berkeley Counties.
Friends and Fellow-Citizens, WELL aware of the patriotic zeal by which you are actuated, I proceed to one an imperfect sketch of our national concerns, which, I am happy to say, have, in many important points of view, every flattering aspect.
The madness and violence of some, in the four western counties of Pennsylvania, have been completely defeated by the caution, wisdom, and paternal prudence of the President, supported by generous citizens of every description, in a crisis so interesting, and finally by the march of our brave armed bands, led on by patriots, that while they rendered this essential service to their country, derived to themselves lasting reputation, by a due regard to the laws, and the civil authority of the people.
This unfortunate business has indeed been a considerable bill of cost, with this consolation, that it will prevent such ill-advised violence hereafter; will evince to the world, that the American people understand their rights, and know the true value of order and regular government; and it will be a striking proof to such as with them ill, that they have vigorous republicans to meet them in arms if need be;—and our hopes are sanguine, on seeing a return from the Treasury department, that the resources will be sufficiently productive, without more taxes, and that agreeably with the President's recommendation, and the real wish of every member, we shall soon be enabled to reduce the public debt.
The successes of our allies have been, and still continue to be, rapid and brilliant and it is now hoped by many that Mr. Jay's mission to the British Court, is in a train of adjustment, and that among other things our Northwest Territory (too long detained) will at last be given up, which of course will save us the expense of a numerous regular army.
The pay of privates in the militia is raised to forty shillings per month as they are properly considered the great support of a free people. The pay of those who went forward with such promptitude to suppress the late insurrection, is also augmented, and there is a proposition depending to regulate the pay of militia officers.
Acts of Congress will be more generally promulgated, and it is proposed to print them in the German language, for the more perfect information of that industrious and respectable denomination of citizens. Difference in opinion, has prevailed on some points; a circumstance, perhaps, not altogether improper in a free government.
Upon the whole, I rejoice with you and every American citizen, in the many and great blessings we at present enjoy, while we may anticipate, with zealous confidence, the future advantages that will result from the operations of a government of equality and brotherly love, formed by the people, such as they intended, and such as they are determined to support.
May this our common country, continue to be the complete asylum for the lenient, orderly, generous, and oppressed, of our species, from every clime, at the same time it exhibits to the observing world, the beautiful pictures of moderation, religion, justice, and republican equality, as the wish of your sincere friend, R. Rutherford.

REVOLUTION IN GENEVA.
M. FENNO, I send you a fourth letter, being a continuation of the History of the Revolution in Geneva. Its authenticity may be depended on—being from the same hand which furnished the account already published. D. E.
London, October 4.
The symptoms of mildness which the Revolution of Geneva seemed to assume, have soon given place to its original character, viz. that of Pillage. Scarcely had the conspiracy of the Montagnards been discovered; Scarcely had the Revolutionary Tribunal been compelled to punish its authors (who declared before they went to punishment, that they had done nothing which their very judges had not instigated, ordered, and directed them to do.) Scarcely indeed had this Tribunal got rid of that faction, which alarmed them by threatening to make the fruits of the pillages of the Geneva Revolution pass into the hands of the French, than they began afresh these same pillages with an activity quite new, in directing them more particularly against the class of Merchants, whom they had lately denounced as being richer and more avaricious than the Aristocrats. It is true that in this third scene, the blood of innocent men has not been shed, and that three of them condemned to death for the purpose of seizing on their property, have undergone this sentence, only in effigy, on account of their absence. But four or five hundred heads of families, have not the less been included in a new list of confiscations proscriptions and imprisonments. Thus the scourge of this terrible revolution has already reached and struck about a thousand Citizens, that is to say more than the half of the general assembly of the people, such as it was composed two years ago, when a thousand persons and nearly as many strangers were associated! In the mean time, though the fourth part and the worthiest of its actual members, have been thus excluded, such are the fears of their oppressors on the true sentiments of the majority of the three thousand remaining members of that assembly, that they dare the less convoke it, as votes are given by a secret ballot.—They have provisionally reimplanted it by 23 Revolutionary Clubs, where the votes are given publicly, and where those alone, for whom tranquility is become a state of violence dare to give theirs, their boldness increasing in these clubs, in proportion to the discouragement of the most honest. These 23 little deliberating Republics meet every day, and make sometimes separately, sometimes collectively the most contradictory proposals.
The fluctuation of this new democracy, is inexpressible. Sometimes it permits those artists condemned to imprisonment in their own houses to go out three time a day to attend their avocations; and soon after recalls this permission. At other times wishing openly for the depopulation of Geneva, it allows the inhabitants who have not been brought to trial to depart with their moveable effects; the next day astonished at the crowd of emigrants, and the quantity of goods which they had carried off the day before, it again forbids the departure of any of them, as well as of every kind of specie, merchandise &c. &c.
The grand question which still divides their minds, is, that of allowing the administration of the Republic, either to the Revolutionary Tribunal, or to the syndics and council, which this Tribunal has lately dispossessed, just as the former had dispossessed the legitimate and Constitutional Administration of 1792.
To induce the Revolutionists to believe that although stigmatized by all their neighbours, they have still at a distance allies, and approvers of their enormities; the authors of these crimes have ordered for the 1st of September a civic festival, in which to take advantage of the compliment which the French Convention has lately paid to Geneva, in placing its colours beside those of the United States; They have displayed them with pomp, the American flag for the purpose of luring the
Genevans in the sweet delusion, that they are still worthy of being compared and associated to the Republic of the new world. It is true that at this show, one could read in marked characters on the countenances of the spectators and assistants, shame and remorse. But what are we to expect from a people to whom no other virtue remains in appearance but that of discovering such remorse, and no other courage but that of surmounting it?
One trait more will suffice to finish the picture of their misfortunes, it is that the French themselves, the instigators of all these convulsions and plunders, dissatisfied either at not having been able to collect the fruits for themselves, or in having been so much surprised in the Revolutionary career; pretend at this moment some compassion for the Genevans; * and have written to their disorganizers to persuade them to put an end to this scandalous and useless tragedy.
Whether these will persevere in prolonging it or drop the curtain for a while; the fate of this little republic is no longer doubtful. If the revolution of France is triumphant, Geneva already entirely surrounded by its territory, is inevitably condemned to become a French city; or if even by a miracle it should escape that destiny and its virtuous citizens should extricate themselves from their actual oppression, they would nevertheless be forced contrary to their inclinations to let themselves roll in the orbit of the great planet to the revolutions of which Geneva has suffered herself to be attached as a satellite.
After these last consequences of a first step towards the revolutionary doctrine; one may trace it's source, it's current, and it's overflowings, from the moment when it announced itself with mildness, by the modest and innocent title of citizens which it's partisans adopted among themselves, up to the period when after having succeeded in proclaiming the equality of rights , they found out the art of extending that equality of rights even over the fortunes of those who did not think as they did , and when after having disarmed them without resistance, they plundered, banished, and put them to death. Such are the late ravages which this doctrine has introduced into Geneva! There was not however in that small and interesting republic either abuses to correct, or reforms to operate, nor even unjustified classes to excite jealousy, since the Genevan laws at no time acknowledged nobility even among families the most ancient and the most opulent. * It must be also observed, that the ancient government whose members have been so cruelly pursued and persecuted, had always shewn in the administration of justice and of the finances a purity, against which even the spirit of faction had never raised any doubts, and that the exact public economy of the administrators could only be compared to their personal disinterestedness. It was so much so, in fact, that their successors in seizing on their places, began to double, and triple their salaries; and it seems that they have not yet found them sufficient, since in the course of the last six weeks, there has been an expenditure of the public treasure or rather a dilapidation of about 40,000 pounds sterling.
Two great and important truths arise from this afflicting picture, the 1st. That at all times when this new revolutionary doctrine shall find it's way into a free state; it will make more havoc than in any other, because such a state will have nothing more to adopt of it than it's excesses. 2d. That a free people are nevertheless the most exposed to this dreadful storm, since we
* The French have among other things given order or granted permission to print in the public Papers of Paris, the eloquent proclamation of the great council of Berne, which throws out a particular stigma against the Geneva Revolution, and the Deputy of the Convention, who is lately arrived on the Frontiers of Switzerland, expressed himself nearly in the same manner on this subject.
* One of the fundamental laws of the constitution of Geneva runs thus. Let any member of this commonwealth be satisfied with the rank of citizen without aspiring to any superiority or pre-eminence whatsoever above his fellow-citizens, except where public office entitles him and requires it. Such was the case of the very first foreign constitution against which the French have armed themselves: such was the constitution which under the imputation of aristocracy, they previously attacked with open force and afterwards by intrigues and which they have at last overwhelmed in one common ruin with the people, whose prosperity it had so much advanced.
are able to judge that that which has driven the Genevans into the open sea, is precisely what ought to have fixed them at anchor, that is to say the conformity of their democratic constitution with that which the French have been establishing.
UNITED STATES.
KNOXVILLE, December 13.
On the 28th ult. Peter Greaves was killed by Indians, within a quarter of a mile of Sharp's station, near the south bank of Clinch river, 20 miles north of this place. The Indians who killed him had way laid the path, and fired at so short a distance that he was powder-burned—upon being wounded, he ran was pursued, and much hacked with a sword; and from the force of the blows about six inches of the point of the blade was broke off. Two scalps were taken off his head.
On the 11th instat, a party of Indians, about two hours after dark, secreted themselves within twenty feet of the door of the house of Thomas Cowan and fired upon his wife and son as they stepped into the yard, and pierced the cloaths of the latter with eight balls, but he escaped under cover of the night into the woods, and Mrs. Cowan returned into the house unhurt.
The being alarmed the neighbourhood, and Captain Beaird was at Cowan's, with twenty men, within an hour and an half, patrolled the woods the whole night in search of the Indians, hoping they would strike up a fire by which they could be discovered; the next morning, (11th instat) by order of Governor Blount, Captain Beaird went in pursuit of the savages.
Mr. Cowan lives on Beaver Dam Creek, within 15 miles of this place.
It is to be hoped that the members of Congress, in whom the power of declaring war is solely vested, will in licitically apply this case to their own families and feelings, and act accordingly.
It is a fact not to be denied, that the most extreme frontier family, in their poverty, are as much entitled to protection as the most wealthy member of Congress in his ease and luxury.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to the Printers of this paper, dated November 14, 1794.
Doctor White has had some difficulty in getting his feet; in fact, it is not determined though I learn the Committee will report favorably; and from what I have collected from a number of the members, they are disposed to accommodate the South Western Territory, particularly Gen. Cobb, Mellis, Giles, Blount, Macon, Madison, and Baldwin, who are gentlemen of considerable weight in the house.
This day there is not a quorum of the Senate; to-morrow the house of Representatives do not sit, consequently no Congress till Monday, when the anxious public will hear the budget opened—great murmurs prevail, with not only the public, but with the Senators and House of Representatives, that the business is delayed and great expenses incurred for want of the attendance of the members who are nearest.
On Monday last arrived in town from Cumberland, Sergeant Samuel McClellan, with ten Cherokee prisoners, who are to be delivered up at Tellico block house on the 18th instat, as agreed on between Governor Blount and the Chiefs of the Cherokee nation.
We learn by a correspondent from Kentucky, that during the past Autumn, upwards of 35,000 persons have removed there from the Atlantic States. This Territory too has had an unusual accession of emigrants within the last six months, And from the best information, we have reason to expect 40,000 next year, chiefly from Georgia, South and North Carolina.
NEW-YORK, January 8.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Paul R. Randall, to his Father, Mr. Thomas Randall, of this city, dated
Bermuda, 18th Dec. 1794.
"Sentence of condemnation has been pronounced against the Schooner Governor Clinton, and her cargo, without any qualification whatever. I most solemnly aver, and my counsel cannot advise me upon what grounds she is thus adjudicated: whether we have sinned against the law of nations, against any positive instructions, or whether there is any secret infraction, or political motive, or other inducement that it would be indecent to guess at, we are totally ignorant. That we have proved her an American vessel, and not engaged in contraband trade, or carrying any part of her cargo, when she was captured, is not certain."
and that there was no special charge against her, by all which it must appear that the sole crime is trading with a French Colony; I leave it to you to draw the conclusion, whether this does not evince a manifest design of provoking the Americans to commit hostility in an open way.
"I shall, of course, enter my appeal—appraisers are already appointed, and they may begin to discharge this day; they attempted to remove her into the country, that this business might be done entirely after their own mind; the Court, however, on application, refused to indulge them. I must find security in 5000 sterling to prosecute this appeal, and they must give bail to return the property. I shall then have nothing further to do than urge the completion of my papers to be carried to the Court of Appeals, as well as regular protests against any especial hardships attending my case. I have understood that they do not intend to make me any offer of her, but will send her to England. I doubt much whether any thing can be done by way of negotiation with them; they seem determined to improve the property, to which I have no objections.
"We are unacquainted with your politics, and have no news from Europe. I must suppose that our policy is peace—we are, however, amused by the British government. Our vessels are seized, as in time of war.
"Yesterday a Philadelphia brig was condemned, and no quarter can be expected from the Admiralty. Still Mr. Goodrich has relinquished three vessels, and offers his privateer, the Experiment , for sale. You will judge in what manner this letter should be made public, as I believe the American merchants in general think themselves free from danger—mention it, particularly, to the Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. Harvey, my counsel, having read this letter, would give me a certificate to confirm it, but we are about collecting a note of each American case. Gaudet, the owner of the privateer, before the trial, swore he would condemn her, and would make away with her cargo—and said that I must go to Hell for restitution. They have allowed me all my wearing apparel as a great compliment—but have kept my pistols and sword."
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12.
Says a Correspondent.
The friends of Liberty can have but one opinion respecting political clubs formed on the model of those lately suppressed in France, or which is the same thing interdicted from disseminating as clubs, their anarchical tenets; that opinion is, that good government, security of person property and life, and such clubs, cannot subsist together—A writer in the Aurora says, that "the restrictions on the clubs in France may produce the work of consequences"—but what consequences can be worse than those which have been declared by members of the Convention to have flowed from the Clubs! these consequences are written in blood in every quarter of that Republic—the blood of their own citizens, men, women and children.
The European Intelligence by the Juliana, arrived at Baltimore from Hamburg, is the latest made public—none of the other arrivals afford intelligence from Amsterdam so late as the 9th Nov. which is the date of a letter published in New-York. The Juliana arrived at Baltimore, Sunday the 4th instat in 7 weeks passage, consequently left Hamburg about the 16th November. There is very probably intelligence on the Continent of a later date than any that has met the public eye—it will be recollected that a letter via New-York, from Rochelle in France, dated Nov. 8, was published before the arrival of the Juliana was known here.
We hear that "The Volunteers" a new performance of two acts, by Mrs. Rowson—(the music composed by Mr. Reinagle,) is in rehearsal at the New Theatre.
When Mr. Giles renewed his motion of amendment to the naturalization bill proposing the clause that the part of renunciation or Title, or any other thing in the following article, be omitted, and that no title of nobility shall be granted to any person in the United States; and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the

accept of any present, emolument, or any other thing of value, from any king, prince or foreign state." Mr. ... to observe that agreeable to the spirit of the constitution we ought to have the strongest possible evidence that the people of this description have renounced all pretence to a right of this nature, before we admit them into the bosom of the Society. Moderation has been recommended. He requested gentlemen to observe that he conducted his motion on the strictest principles of moderation. He had, as a former part of this bill, voted for the clause which was intended to guard the government of America against any disturbance from the people called Jacobins, when their principles should run to a dangerous and seditious extreme. The same spirit of candour and order ... which had induced him to vote for a clause in the American Constitution against the prejudices of the aristocrats, which are upon the whole more hostile to the spirit of the American Constitution than those of their antagonists. He also requested gentlemen to observe that his present motion was not to the invasion of any positive right. It left the individual exactly where it found him, unless he aspired to be an American citizen. Otherwise, he might retain his titles unauthorised, as long as he pleased. But if he wanted any promotion of a civil nature in this country, he must rise to it by conforming exactly to the rules laid down by the Constitution itself. That code had declared no titled character admissible to any civil rank. Thus far Mr. Giles observed that his motion went, and no farther. It was not to be supposed that the people born and nurtured in the lap of aristocracy would readily renounce their titles, and become at once true republicans. It was therefore highly improper that such people should be admitted. If we are allowed to anticipate probabilities, it is highly probable that we soon shall have a great number of this kind of persons here. A revolution is now going on in Europe to which there is nothing similar in history. A large portion of Europe has already declared against titles, and where the innovations are to stop, no man can presume to guess. There is at present, in the judgment of Mr. Giles, no law in the United States, by which a foreigner can be hindered from voting at elections, or even from coming into this house; and if a great number of these fugitive nobility come over, they may soon acquire considerable influence: the tone of thinking may insensibly change in the course of a few years, and no person can say how far such a matter may spread. After these, and many other preparatory remarks, Mr. Giles read a resolution, which was in effect as follows. And in case any alien, applying for admission to citizenship of the United States, shall have borne any title or order of nobility, in any kingdom or state from whence he comes, he must renounce all pretensions to that title before the court in which such application shall be made; and this renunciation must be registered in the said court. Mr. Giles observed that previous to the late revolution, the French nobility were, by the lowest calculation, rated at twenty thousand; and as we may conclude on France being successful, a great proportion of these people may be finally expelled here.
By Authority. GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States of America To all whom it may concern. JOHN ROSS, Esquire, having produced to me his Commission as Consul General from the free Imperial city of Hamburg, to the United States of America, I do hereby recognize him as such, and declare him free to exercise within the said United States, such functions and powers as may be given or permitted by the laws of the land to the Consuls of Nations between whom and the United States no Treaty or Convention exists for permitting specific powers and functions to be exercised by their Consuls reciprocally. In Testimony whereof I have caused these letters to be made patent, and the Seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Given under my Hand, at the City of Philadelphia, (L.S.) the thirty-first day of December, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the nineteenth. GO: WASHINGTON. By the President, EDM: RANDOLPH.
Saturday arrived here the brig John, Capt. Dewar, from London, whence she sailed the 25th October, but being detained some time in the Channel by contrary winds, put into Torbay, and failed from thence on the 10th of November, when Lord Howe put to sea with 18 sail of the line and 8 frigates. Authentic information was previously received of the French fleet of 30 sail of the line being in the Channel, and that the Cork fleet, with the convoying ships of (two 74's and 3 frigates) having fallen into their hands. Great apprehensions were entertained for the arrival of Mr. Dewar, who was received in the Mediterranean with a number of men of war, in one of which was a con-
siderable treasure, had shared the same fate. No news from the Continent, the mails not having arrived for several days. The French fleet being at sea, is mentioned as a fact in a London paper of the 6th November [the General Evening Post]. Capt. Dewar endeavoured to collect the latest London papers at Torbay, but could only obtain two papers of the 6th, from which the following are extracts: He has brought letters from Mr. Pinckney and Mr. Jay, our Ministers in London to the Secretary of State. The news of the capture of the Cork fleet, published in our paper a few days ago, in a letter from Rochelle, our readers will perceive is confirmed by the above intelligence. The St. James's Chronicle of Nov. 6, contains an account of the trial of Thomas Hardy, for high treason. The trial ended in his acquittal, the jury having found him NOT GUILTY.
LONDON, November 6. Three Dutch mails will be due tomorrow morning; and it is to be observed, that the last, not bringing any letters or papers from Germany, has contributed considerably to the want of continental intelligence. The rebellion in America, in certain of the Western Counties of Philadelphia, however mildly spoken of in the papers, has been found serious enough to call forth the military talents of General Washington; and that country will, probably, experience that a Constitution upon Republican principles is a very fine thing upon paper, but in reality is far from adequate to the turbulent propensities of the populace. The Empress of Russia, in order to carry on the war against the Poles, is determined to curtail all kinds of superfluous expenses; and has now declared the purchase of M. de Calonn's Collection of Pictures.
Mr. Erskine, after the breaking up of the Court was drawn to his house in Serjeant's Inn, Fleet-street, by the populace, who took the horses out of his carriage; and as soon as the coach which carried Hardy had arrived at the New Church in the Strand, the horses were taken out, and he was drawn home in the same manner. Yesterday, at one o'clock, the Lord Chancellor, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Lord Sydney, met at the House of Lords, and adjourned Parliament to the 25th inst. when both Houses will meet for the dispatch of business.
The avenues to the Old Bailey were last night blocked up by a mob, until the City Militia and the Gentlemen of the Light Horse Volunteers, arrived and cleared the street. Their duty was extremely useful to the public, in preserving good order, though a little hard on themselves, as it rained most violently throughout the evening. Medals have been struck in Paris, and forwarded to the French General of the northern army, and of that of the Moselle, who have circulated them in the countries they are invading, representing the Genius of the French Republic leaning on an Urn, through which the Rhine is made to pass. On the top of the Medals is inscribed "The Rhine and Peace." At the bottom are engraved these words in Latin—Ne plus ultra: (These are our boundaries.) The object of this Medal is to announce, that the French mean to push their conquests as far as the Rhine; and make this river serve as a boundary to their vast Empire, in all its windings, from the Hunningue to the sea.
Near three thousand merchants, manufacturers, labourers, and workmen of all sorts, whom the atrocious government of Robespierre had caused to emigrate from France, have already returned by way of Switzerland. Some former Emigrants have crept in among the number, and their return has not been noticed. The Peasants of Jura have gone to seek their Pastors in the neighbourhood of Fribourg; and more than 150 of them peaceably discharge their duty in Franche Comte, without molestation. This shows the returning spirit of moderation which begins to prevail in the Councils of the Convention.
Mr. Erskine, was yesterday escorted to his house in Serjeant's Inn by at least two thousand persons, testifying their approbation of his conduct by huzzas and clapping of hands. After Mr. Erskine had alighted from his carriage, he appeared at the front window of his house, and thence having been with some difficulty obtained, Mr. Erskine addressed the people to the following effect: Gentlemen, For several nights you have manifested your attachment to me by attending me home. You are all witnesses that during the time, the fate of our dear country-
man not having been decided upon by the Jury, I spoke to no man. But gentlemen, what I expected from law and justice has happily taken place. A Jury of twelve good, honest and independent men have given a conscientious, an honest and good verdict.
"Gentlemen you have shown your approbation of that verdict in an honest and lawful manner, and in such I hope every honest and just man will follow it."
"Gentlemen to us (Mr. Gibbs being at the next window) you are unknown, but let us intreat you, now that you have shown your approbation of the verdict, go to your homes and be happy, and thank God for what has passed." Mr. Erskine then retired from the window and the populace, after a few huzzas, retired with the exclamation of "ERSKINE and GIBBS forever!" Mr. Kirby keeper of Newgate, with his usual prudence, conveyed the prisoner thro' his house privately, and on entering the coach, Mr. Hardy ordered the coachman to drive with all possible velocity. The multitude were soon apprized of the deception and pursuing the carriage, dismissed the horses in the Strand from their duty, and took charge of the vehicle themselves. They paraded him thro' many of the streets round Pallmall and St. James's street, Piccadilly, and left him as we hear at the house of his brother in law Mr. Vaughan in Lancaster court, Strand; where the first object of his attention was the tomb of his wife, who was buried in St. Martin's church yard. [His wife died of grief, when he was apprehended on suspicion; who can restore her to him?]
We have now been thirteen days without any news from the continent. This circumstance begins to give some uneasiness. The prince of Wales is to have a civil list on his marriage of £50,000 a year, 50,000 of which are to be appropriated to the discharge of his debts. It is expected that an act of grace (liberating debtors) will follow the prince's nuptials. The French fleet, consisting of 30 ships of the line, besides frigates is at sea. Admiral Neilly with six ships of the line and five battalions has failed for the West Indies.
Yesterday arrived the Schooner Polly, Capt. Smith from Barbadoes, St. Eustatius, and St. Thomas; informs that he failed from Barbadoes the 9th December, and as he failed to the leeward of Guadaloupe on the 12th saw seven British ships of war, &c. failed out of the Road of Barbaterre, in consequence of the surrender of Fort Charles to the French. No arrival of any reinforcement, either French or English, excepting the two men of war at Barbadoes in November.
BRIDGETOWN, (Barbadoes) December 5.
Yesterday evening arrived the ship William and Mary, William Gordon, commander, out 33 days, with part of the 17th regiment on board. This ship parted with the outward-bound West-India fleet two days after they left the Land's-End, consisting of upwards of 100 sail, transports, victuallers and a few merchantmen, with five Regiments on board. They were convoyed by two ships of 74 guns each, one of 64, one of 50, a Frigate, and Sloop of War. The troops were all in fine health and spirits.

BRUSSELS, 1st Brumaire, (Oct. 22)
The English and Dutch armies had united the principal part of their forces about Nimeguen and Gorem, with an intention to pass the Meuse, make a general attack on the army of the Republic, to endeavour to force it to fall back behind Bois le Duc, and by this means to hinder its penetrating into Guelderland. This military operation was executed the day before yesterday between the city of Grave and the fort of Crevecoeur, but with the worst success possible for the coalesced Latalites. The enemy was not only repulsed, after a very obstinate engagement, but lost 700 prisoners; among whom are 60 French Emigrants, whom a Court Martial will immediately judge. Besides this, the enemy lost four pieces of cannon and a standard.
They write from Cologne that a very active correspondence is carried on between General Jourdan's and the Austrian army. Flags of truce pass and repass incessantly, without any one knowing the object of the negotiations. A few days since an Austrian Colonel arrived at the (French) Head Quarters at Cologne.
The garrison at MAESTRICHT made a spirited sortie the day before yesterday; but it was as usual repulsed. The siege of this fortress goes on; and we have every reason to expect that it will soon be obliged to capitulate.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, 3 Brumaire (Oct. 24.)
Delmas, organ of the committee of Public Safety, reported the news by the Tellegraphe, which confirmed the intelligence announced yesterday; and read the following letter:
From Gillet, Representative of the People, Dated head-quarters, before Maestricht.
"I hasten to announce to you that Coblentz, the famous haunt of the Emigrants, is in our possession. A division of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, commanded by Gen. Moreau, made themselves masters of it yesterday. Jourdan, the commander in chief, has just communicated to me this pleasing intelligence. The enemy were entrenched before the city; they were beaten, and their redoubts carried by the bayonet. The city was taken, and the enemy obliged to pass the Rhine. The action cost the enemy a great number of killed and prisoners. (Signed) GILLET."
P. S. I also announce to you the capture of Cleves, by the left division of that army—besides which we now occupy Gueldres.
[A letter from Gen. Jourdan contains similar information to the above, with this addition, "that the army of the Sambre and Meuse now corresponds with the army of the North."]
Delmas. This is, without doubt, the moment to reply to certain individuals, who out of these walls, insinuate, that the government wishes our army to retreat on the frontiers, and to make peace. It results from the news you have just heard, that if that project has been formed, that neither the armies, nor those who direct them, are in the secret.
The Convention ordered the news and the observations of Delmas to be inserted in the bulletin.
Delmas also read a letter from the General of the army of the Eastern Pyrenees, dated from La Bidoane. He speaks of the enthusiasm with which the army received the tri-coloured standard presented by the Convention. The letter announced, that the Spanish General had endeavoured, by every artifice, to conceal from their armies the capture of Bellegrade; but the tri-coloured flag which waved on the walls, and the discharge of 25 cannon, left them no room to doubt, that the place was any longer full of slaves.
PARIS, 6 Brumaire, (Oct. 27.)
We hear from Landau, that the army of the Rhine has been forwarded. The Prussians retire towards Oppenheim; and the Austrians have crossed the Rhine below Worms. Two of their regiments are yet on this side of the Rhine, but they will soon be on the other side.
We wait with impatience for news from the interior of Holland. The last received announced that an insurrection was organized and ready to break out the first favorable moment, particularly at Amsterdam, Leyden, Utrecht, Dord, Haerlem, and all North Holland. Ca Ira!
The above contains the outlines of the information from the armies and the frontiers. The Convention is hourly employed in correcting the abuses of their predecessors. They have ordered the arrest and trial of Carrier, by whose orders the drownings and burnings at Nantz, St. Nazaire—and of le Bon, the Monk who enraged Arras. The "Monitor National" of the 5th Brumaire, is filled with the proceedings on those trials; and the evidences bring forward facts at which humanity shudders. Tranquillity seems to have succeeded to the terror which pervaded all France, during the tyranny of Maximilian. The decrees which tended to paralyze Lyons, Bourdeaux, and other manufacturing and commercial towns, are repealed; and measures are taking to restore to France the useful arts and sciences. Since the fall of Robespierre, the People appear in the highest spirits, and from the appearances in the interior of France, a stranger would hardly conjecture that the nation was at war. The axe of the guillotine is wholly unemployed.
FROM POLAND
We learn, by the above papers, that success had attended the Patriot arms in South Prussia, as it is called; and that a national civic seal had been instituted to commemorate these successes.
There is a letter in town from Halifax which mentions the capture of the Newfoundland fleet, by the French. We have seen several other letters from the same place, which do not mention the event.
FROM BILBOA, A S. an in port in the Bay of Bis-
cay, which has repeatedly been said to be captured by the French, we have information to the 4th November, at which date the Spaniards held it. The French army, 90,000 strong, were besieging Pampeluna, with great vigour. This is the strongest place in all Spain, and lies directly on the road to Madrid, distant about 187 miles, between which and that capital, there is no obstacle of any consequence to impede the march of the French immediately thither. Thus the capture of Pampeluna will determine the fate of Spain.
FROM CADIZ.
By an arrival on Wednesday, we learn that a Portuguese squadron, had an engagement with four Algerine Frigates, that attempted to come out of the Straights, captured two of them of 36 guns each, and drove the other two back, to their port.
THE CHRONICLE, BOSTON, January 5. FROM FRANCE DIRECT.
Yesterday arrived here the ship Five Brothers, Captain G. Bradford, in 53 days from L'Orient. We have not time to make any translations from the papers brought by this arrival, for this day's paper; but in general terms we can state the following particulars, which the Captain was so obliging as to communicate to the Editors.
He says that the brilliant success which have crowned the French arms during the Summer, continue uninterrupted, and victory full declared for the Republic when he left France. The latest events were the taking of VENLO, and a very considerable defeat of the Spanish army in the PYRENEES, in which they left 2750 men dead on the field, and as many taken prisoners, with a number of cannon and military stores.
The Captain also informs that he learnt from the American Consul at L'ORIENT, the morning before he failed, that an express had arrived the evening preceding from Brest, informing that the Alexander an English 74 gun ship had been taken and brought into that port by a small division of French ships.

Dec. 19. eodtf  PROPOSALS By Thomas Dobson, For Publishing by Subscription, An English Translation OF Poole's Synopsis of the Translations of the Bible, And Of The Critics, Interpreters, and Commentators Exhibiting from one view, the principal criticisms, and most valuable Elocutions of the Scriptures; Illustrations of the ancient Eastern Manners and customs; & Descriptions of the Plants and Animals therein mentioned; with improvements from observations of Travellers, since the publication of that excellent work. It has been matter of wonder and regret that this most learned and valuable work, so highly prized by the learned, both curious and serious, has never been translated, and thereby the bulk of readers have been deprived of a work of the greatest entertainment and utility; in which by the Labors of the learned of various ages and nations, the Sacred Scriptures are cleared of the contradictions and absurdities of modern translations, and the ancient manners, metaphors, allegories, and figures are illustrated in such a way, as to unite the most rational entertainment with the most sublime instruction; & to discover the source whence true philosophers, in all ages, have derived their knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures, which contain the seeds of all the sciences valuable to man.
This work is proposed to the Public on the following CONDITIONS. It is supposed the whole will be completed in four volumes, large quarto; and will be set to the press as soon as a sufficient number shall be subscribed for, to defray the expense. The price to subscribers will be four dollars for each volume, in boards. No money will be demanded till the first volume shall be completed, when the price of the first and second volumes will be required. When the second volume is finished, the price of the third will be payable:—And when the third volume is finished, the price of the fourth must be paid. The price of such copies as may not be subscribed for will be raised 25 per cent. Dec. 13. sawtf
To the Public. A SUBSCRIPTION Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF Emanuel Swedenborg, At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia. WHEN a sufficient subscription takes place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance. The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's: The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual Sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c. A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrines of the New Jerusalem Church. As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings, and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead thereof, invidious calumnies and groundless reports have been industriously propagated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere inquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, that being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
