Letters lrom Copenhagen mention— On the 12th of Odober, last year, a small ft zed man arrived here, who an nounced himfelPfor a French American, and soon after departed in an American bottom for America. Afterwards we were informed, that it was the famous Dumourier, who finally despaired of re eltablilhing the Constitution of 1791. He was here not attended by any serv ants, but received frequent visits from a lady, who also took a passage with him for America. When Dumourier got apprized that the French deputies, imprisoned by the Austrian monarch, were to be delivered to the French, he appeared to be lenfible that there re mained no hopes for him any more to emerge in Europe.” From a London Paper. No man who is not utterly loft fro th e feelings of humanity, can read withou 1 mingled emotions of pity and indigna* tion, the letter of M. Gillet, in which the fufferings of La Fayette are so pa thetically deferibed. The foul outrage by which La Fayette was deprived of his liberty, has only been furpalTed by the horrors of his confinement. The cells of the Baltile, and the prisons of the Abbayeand the Conciergeriej were nothing to the dungeons of Magdebourg and Olmutz. The merciless and faa guinary tyranny of Koberfpiere, ap pears to gain from a companion with the cool-blooded, unrelenting tortures of Vienna. The victims of Koberfpiere Were facrificcd to his faiety, when tiie heart of the tyrant was diitradfted by fear, and his relentment inflamed by riv allhip. But in the lengthened miseries and unabated oppreifion of La Fayette, we find cruelty without paifion, injustice without neceflity, and perseverance without reraorfe.—Where was rhar po lished refinement that fofren the calami ties of war, by the attentions of humani ty, and strips hostility of the rancour of personal hatred ? Where was the courtesy, that refpeft to the claims of sex and rank, by which modern times are proud to be diftinguilhed ? Where the humanity that saw with savage in citing indifference the sacred sorrows of a (liltrelied \vi4e ? Where the gallan try that exposed unprotected innocence to the licentiousness of a brutal soldiery ? The history of the unfortunate Fayette forms a stain that will dim the iuftre of the imperial diadem ; that will tarnilh the annals of Europe. Posterity will not believe that the ir.ftance would have been endured, had it not been congenial to our manners and habits. But to whom is the family of this detestable condudl to be aferibed ? The British Minister refufed to interfere, because with Allies like ours, interference only in the cause of humanity would be inef fectual, and the emperor denies his pow er to redress the injustice and the cruelty committed in his own prisons and by his own servants! “ Englilhmen, what C that inviolable hand which thus mur ders defencclefs innocence in the dark ?” Van we only refer the cause to those envenomed counsels, that gloomy hypo critical influence which controuls the Court of Vienna 7 and to those difpofi- Uons which can glut upon the futfer ings of an individual, those paflions that have not been fuccefsiully gratified by wide-lpreading devallation of the Crj; aoe railed againit the cause of liber ty/ For the honor of humanity let the jptamy, and if poflible the pumfhment, hght upon the guilty head. It is unjuit t ‘! i; jhe innocent Ihould be loaded with . c imputation, or rliat the wretch who reall )’ guilty Ihould be shielded from p’ Let not however the cause of tiie oalition be callad any longer the cause mimanity and religion.—-Wiienever * ac red words arc employed to im- Columbian itftufcum, &c. pose upon the credulity of Europe, the imposture will vanish before the name Fayette. Let the injuries, the fuffer ings, the dungeon of Fayette—the un heard of treatment of his wife and daugh ters, open the eyes of the fubjeds of the Confederate powers to the character of the rulers under whom they serve, and to the cause which they bleed to pro mote; NORWICH, August 2;. Counterfeit Cents. A gentleman from ttfew-York, in forms, that he saw there a number of Counterfeit Cents, which were made out of base metal, he underllood that there was a large number fe.it to the United States from England, and that they were in circulation in Connedicut. Caution tt tiecijfary. A daring gang of Pick-pockets, we areforry to lay are now in the United States, they visit all public alTemblies, and have several times, given specimens ot their ingenuity ; it requires confide -able art to difeover them, and only in >ne inftancc have any of them been de teded. NEW-YORK, September 1. Arrived the schooner Sally, Stephens, in 45 days from Londonderry, with 83 oallengers, all in good health, and hav ing received the belt treatment. Capt. .Stephens informs that the ship Deborah, failed three weeks before him, with 550 jaflengers, for Philadelphia ; the A •iolph, fordo. 2 weeks before, with the fame number : the William and Henry with 200, and the Eliza with 180, were ready to fail for Nevv-Caftlc and New York, on the 12th July ; and the (hip Union, in a tew days after, with palfen gers lor Philadelphia. It is reported that several persons have been lately taken up in New- York, for counterfeiting Boston Branch Bank Bills, and that 50,000 Dollars, together with the plates, have been found on them—the plates were in the fwles of their Boots when taken. Extrad from the New-York French Gazette of the 29th August, 1796. SupprtjJion of relief to the French Refugees t The French republic had granted l üb fiftence to a small number of colonilts, who had been forced by the dangers of every kind which fur rounded them in St, Domingo, to take refuge on the Continent ; the new Commilfaries have hastened to recal into the Colony, not those who could be ufeful, but the wo men, children and old men; In conse quence of which, they have been invited to enroll themlelves for two flags of truce, which have been sent out: declar ing, that from that moment, every kind ot aliiitancc would be withheld: Very few have embraced the opportunity, be cause they had no asylum or resource, particularly in the northern part of St. Domingo ; because women and children could not be prevailed on to abandon their patents, their huibands, their bre thren, who might have supported and protected them in a country laid waste, and exposed on all sides to the ferocity oflawlefs plunder. Thus, these unfor tunate people, so worthy of protection, expeil and from the bosom of their coun try, ot whofc favours they have not been undeserving ; banilh’d from their habi tations by tyranny or anarchy, fee them selves doomed to sigh amidlt the hor rors of indigence in a foreign land. Happy could the philanthropic nation which has afforded them an alylum, join to this benevolent action, that of ena bling them to exert their industry, and to procure those comforts denied them by the country to which they owe their miserable exigence. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 31. 22 Ships and Brigs are advertised in the Liverpool papers for the United States. Captain Banks from St. Euftatia, ar rived at Boston, fays, that island is quite desolate—no business going on, the larg eit part ot tht Dutch inhabitants having left ir. Capt. Charnock, in the brig Lavinia, 12 days from St. Christopher’s, informs, that a large fleet failed from that I Hand with a very strong convoy, on the 27th ult. bound for England ; they were joined by a number of Merchantmen at Tortola, and proceeded for Europe on the firft inst. At St. Christopher's, Capt. Charnock saw the L'Aimable, a British. frigate of 32 guns, that had been engaged with the La Penfee, a French frigate of 44. guns, out of Gaudaioupe ; they fought tour glasses, when the Bri tilh frigate attempting to board, which the French frigate avoided by (heering off a (hort diitance, the action ended, both the Ihips being levereiy (battered. La Penfee went into St. Thomas, SAVANNAH, Sept. 23. % “” Captain Reynolds, of the Brig Lydia, who arrived here on the 19th inst. from Cape-Francois, informs, that previous to his leaving that place, the Briti(h had landed forne- troops in Machineal- Bay, a little to the eastward of Port Dauphin : That since that time the Brigands, who live in the mountains, in the neighbour hood of Port-Dauphin and Caracole, had become very troublesome to the Re publicans, and murdered several of the people who inhabit the plains, and burnt several plantations. Avery considera ble armament from the Cape and its neighbourhood, were gone out againit them, and it was generally believed would soon reduce them, as a number ol prisoners of the Brigands, were sent in almost every day. Several fail ol French frigates had failed previous to the Lydia, supposed to have gone to in tercept the Jamaica fleet,’amongft w hom was Captain Barney. That provition> were plenty and cheap in the Cape, and since the arrival of the Cominillioners from France, order and regularity in business, is in a great degree eftablilhed. Capt. Reynolds - further informs, that he saw a French frigate on shore, on the blue Caycos, the crew of which had ar rived at the Cape, a few days before he failed. Marine ftcgtffer. ENTERED IN W A R D.
