From Cape Francois.
Captain Harvey, who arrived yesterday
from the Cape, informs us, thatTouflaint’s
troops continue victorious over Rigaud’s ;
that they had arrived before Jeremie and
commenced the siege ; that Rigaud had
loft an arm (not his life) in consequence
of a wound received in a late action ; and
that the Americans were treated in the moil
refpeftful manner.
The day before captain H. failed, a ves
sel arrived which had fallen in with the
United States frigate Boston. The captain
stated, (lie had captured two French priva
teers from Porto Rico. One a brig of 18
guns, the other a schooner of 12. And
had recaptured a fliip from Bombay for
Baltimore.
PHILADELPHIA, O&ober 31.
Captain Truxton has resumed his com
mand in the navy, and is about to proceed
again to sea in the Constellation.
The circumstances attendant on the re
turn of Captain Truxton to his command
in the navy, havingbeen varioully report

following footing, that Captain Truxton
returns into service: In a letter to the Pre
sident, he offered to wave the question of
tank, arraio leave that point between cap
tain Talbot and himfelf as it flood; in con
sequence, the President declines accepting
his resignation, and he resumes his former
command.

Exlrafl of a letter from Madrid, dated
September 6.
I am informed that an extraordinary
courier from Italy had brought the news,
that Genoa, having been evacuated by the
French, after the battle in which Joubert
was killed, is in pofTeffion of the allied ar
my. Other details of that battle are come
to hand, direftly from Genoa, byway of
Barcelona, and give us to understand, that
the action was long and obstinate ; that
Perignon (formerly ambafTador here) in
the beginning gained a very considerable
having taken nearly 2000 prif
°ners, but in the end was wounded and
bken prisoner ; that the bayonet decided
the affair ; that general Melas was killed ;
that the remains of the French were at
tsmpting to retreat towards Nice, but that
a corps of the allied army had been detach-,
with a design to intercept their retreat.

LOWER-ELBE, Sept. n.
rr ? e £,n ghfli mail of the 3d instant, was

t
The French letters of the 2d, contain |
an official account of the French head I
quarters being before the gaies of Genoa,
and that every preparation was making to
evacuate the Genoefe territory, which per
fectly agrees with our last account, that
Suwarrow’s army was but a few miles
from Genoa.
The want of provisions in the French
army had been fa extreme, that several of
the corps had no bread for three and four
days at a time.
The French letters of the 3d, state the
decease of Pius VI. at Valence, in the 82d
year of his age.
Some letters from Italy state, that gen.
Suwarrow had altered his plan of opera
tion so far, as to march, conjointly with
gen. Melas, towards Afti, in order to pre
vent the junClion of the remains of Jou
bert’s army with that of Championet.
The electorate of Mentz, and the envi
rons of Heilbrun, &c. where the French
lately penetrated, have futfered considera
bly from the number of forced requisi
tions.
From the motions and marches, it
should appear that the archduke will soon
begin a frefli campaign in the province of
AlfaCt, and along the left borders of the
Rhine ; this is further indicated by a cir
cular letter of the prince (in quality of
field marshal of the empire) to the princes
of the Germanic circles, refpeCTing their
contingents; in which his idiighnefs calls
the present moment the molt favorable for
Germany to recover its old frontiers, See.
The ministers of Prussia and Saxony
have decidly declared, at the Diet of Ra
tifbon, that their governments would fur
nifh no contingents to the new army of
the empire, and that their governments
were resolved to abide by the system of
neutrality, which in faCl, is a complete
feeffion of the Germanic constitution.
It might almost be asked, what other busi
ness those ministers can have any longer
at Ratifbon, except that of giving a nega
tive to the mod important concern of that
august afTembly—the adopting means for
their very exiftencc.
The hereditary prince of Orange has
published a proclamation (in the Dutch
language) to the people of the united pro
vinces ; which certainly would have a bet
ter effeift, if an auguft'and new relation of
his to second his endeavors with
20,000 men; for without some source, we
fear his prayers will go on but (lowly.
The letters from Holland seem to agree
that the Dutch and French forces are by
no means adequate to the English troops,
which, by their own estimate, amounted
already to 20,000 men.
Letters from Hague, of the 7th, an
nounce the arrival of the duke of York
in Holland.
All the French troops ordered from
Flanders to Holland, have received coun
ter-orders to protect the Flanders coast,
where they expe&ed the third division of

FRONTIERS of HOLLAND,
September 3.
The hereditary prince of Orange has
published the following proclamation (in
Dutch) to the people of the United Neth
erlands :
“We Wilhelm Frederic, hereditary prince
of Orange, Naflau, &c.
“ Providence having crowned with the
happiest success the endeavors of the allied
powers, who have taken up arms in de
fence of their religion and independence;
the moment being at last arrived when,
with the powerful assistance of his Britan
nic majesty, and of his allies, our country
will at length be liberated from the yoke
under which it has groaned for four years;
and his highness the prince of NafTau,
Orange, hereditary ftadtholder, governor,
captain, general, and admiral of the Uni
ted Netherlands, as well as hereditary cap
tain and admiral general of the union, &c.
our father, having in a proclamation, da
ted at Hampton court the 28th July, ’99,
already declared his sentiments and inten
tions with which he is animated towards
the good inhabitants of the state : we in
vite you, empowered and ordered by our
father, by a decree dated December 19,
1798, and agreeably to his intentions, to
aliirt us in gaining the objeft by which we
are animated, namely, the re-establishment
of religion and liberty, according to the
principles of our legal constitution. In
stead of the long slavery which has hither
to oppressed you, that true liberty is again
offered to you which alone is able to pro
mote your happiness. You may rest as
sured that you have to expeft the protec
tion of the laws, and freedom of persons
and property, if you offer no resistance to
your delivers, but assist them as much as
lies in your power. Be therefore united,
lay aside all difeord and party spirit; ab
stain from revenge ; endeavor to maintain
tranquility ami order, and be persuaded,
that on our part we are animated by th#|
fame sentiments, and that it is our mod J
ardent desire to awaken peace and harmo
ny among the inhabitants, to establish
which we shall do every thing in our pow
cr. We proraife to all those who (hail re
turn to their duty, and assist in liberating
our dear country, that their sentiments
and anions during the revolution shall be
forgotten, and that they shall receive pro
’irtion ; those in particular, who have been
in any official capacity have nothing to
fear on that head, excepting that they have
neglected their duty, or been guilty of
crimes which are considered as such in
every country, and are punilhable before
impartial judge. AH inhabitants
may therefore rely upon perfect security,
and we expert, that no opposition will be
made to our endeavors. Should, unexpec
tedly, the contray be the case, every one
will have to ascribe the disagreeable con
sequence, to his own condurt,as such per
lons will experience the rigor of the laws.
We caution likewise all present rulers and
public functionaries, not to offer any one
belonging to the ancient legal government,
or who shall be known as a partisan of
the house of Orange, as they will have to
answer for their lately, with their persons
and property.
“ It being also necessary, to prevent an
archy, immediately to establish a govern
ment, we invite and request all those, who
before the invasion of the seven Provinces
and of the country of Drenthe by the
French, have been employed inthe depart
ments of police, finance and justice, im
mediately to take upon themselves the
provisional administration of those depart
ments, till a government shall be properly
established ; and also to put again into ac
tivity the adminifiration of government of
towns and villages, with exception of
those who have had a fliare in the revolu
tion, or who have made any declaration
for supporting that illegal form of govern
ment, or given evident proofs of their at
tachment to it.
“ We likewise order all public functiona
ries of the prelent illegal government to
continue in the exercise of their duties, till
the provisional government shall be estab
lished ; enjoining them however, not to
embezzle any money, or secrete docu
ments or papers. We particularly forbid
all receivers, to make any payment to
them whatever, and they shall be answera
ble with their property.
“ Concerning the United States in gene
ral, we have thought proper till the proper
government shall be re-established, to ap
point a provisional government, confiding
of able persons from the refpertive pro
vinces, which we shall appoint by letters,
to represent the states of the United Neth
erlands.
v Lastly, we order the army and navy
to contribute to the re-establishment of
the legal government, to maintain order
and tranquility, sand to obey the com
mands of the officers nominated by his
highness. The officers in the service of
the illegal government, who shall assist in
effecting this, shall be particularly remem
bered. (Signed)
Wilhelm Frederic.
Hereditary prince of Orange.
