The progrefe of the French in German,

We have received advice, by an Eftafette
from Italy, that a squadron of the French
tk* has made its appearance under the walls
of Civita Vecchia, and assured the Governor,
that, without he would immediately surrender
the place, it (hould be bombarded, and the
French forces would then proceed farther
through the Ecclefisflical territories on a pil
grimage to Rome, where they intend to pay
a vifr to their HoW Father.
CoMntx, November io. Yeflerday Limburgh
was taken by the French. As soon aa the
King of Pruflia heard of this affair ht ordered
' 10,000 men to march there, and the next day
fit out hirafelf, with the Duke of B.unfwic
and the Prince de Nassau, with a strong de
tachmeot of artillery, to that neighbourhood.
It, The French, upon hearing of the troops
sent to Limburgh, left that place, after de
manding 15,000 florins contribution. In their
retreat they met a corps of huflars and fuffsr
td some loss in a Ikirmith with them.

hr which we learn, that the French have de
flroyed the Imperial and Piuflian magazines at

• The King of Pruflia is now at Montabaur,
four leagues from »his, and his Mijefty is re
solved not to return to Berlin without his ar

command. It is reported that ten other Pruflian
regiments of infantry are ordered hither fiora
Biandenburgh.
PARIS, November if.
v Gen. Dnmourier has dated the killed in the
battle at Genneppe at 300, but it is evident
that the General’. report is not exaft. Several
private letters from the army make the num
ber of killed and wounded to amount to 10,coo
men, which is perhaps exaggerating the ac
count, but it is beyond a doubt that we have

LONDON, November 4.
Gen. Dillon had a narrow escape, having
set fail for England but a few minute* before
the infernal agents of the Jacobins arrived at
the place from whence he embarked.

in Germane s The village of Rolbach, the

will never be more heard of in Germany.
Some Englilh travellers just returned from

PHILADELPHIA, January 23.
The remarkable roildaefs of the present
winter season, exceed* that of every win
ter in ths memory of the oldest inhabitants .
of Philadelphia ; there has not beeu the
leift interruption to the navigation of the
Delaware, and now at the 23d of January
we have moderate weather. A fine lhad was
caught on Wednesday last, and fliould the
river continue open, a considerable run
may soon be expefted.
Perhaps few crowned beads have ever
been more completely duped than the present
king of Pruflia. Several accounts agree that
at the very time he was attacking France, the
E nprefs ot Russia and the Emperor of Ger
many hid agreed to divide his kingdom be
tween them. The packet containing the ar
ticles of this infamous agreement being inter
cepted by Gen. Dumourier, and by him in-,
ftantly communicated to the king of Pruflia,
appears to have been the cause of that iudden
retreat on the part of the Pruflian monarch,
which at the time appeared so unaccountable
to politicians. .

The following is Mr. MILLEDGE’s Speech
in the House of Representatives of the
United States, on Mr. Steel’. Motion
for the reduction of the Military eftabhlh
Mr. Milledge liked the fpint of the mo
tion, in regard to the prevention of (land
ing armies ; but he was against its being
put in practice at the present time. He
differed from the honorable gentleman
from New jersey, and as hts motion had
not a second, he would proceed. The sub
mitting the question under . confiJeration
to a committee of the whole, was, that a
fair and open difeuffion of every point of
the important fubjeft might be breught in
to view ; that the situation of the State he had
the honor to represent, had been mentioned in
the course of debate, he tberefote felt himfelf
called on to deliver his fentimentt; that he
was perfuadtd there was not a member in the
house who more ardently wilhed far peace than
himfelf, or who would go further to pro
mote so defireable an objift, as putting an
end to a savage war, and an enormous public
cxpeßce, but was of opinion that the re
duftion of the military establishment would
not answer either of those purpefes; that it
well became member, to take into considera
tion such parts of the union as lay exposed,
and then judge the propriety of the intended

was a frontier date, bordering on one fide b f
a nation with whom a just understanding and
mtercourfc still remains to be fettled by treaty,
and on the other by a warlike tribe of Indiana,
the most numerous of any on the continent 5.
10,000 warriors, betides tbe Cherokee nation
of 3500. A date in proportion to its wealth,
and in proportion to what it contributes to
the general government, of tbe fewsft in
habitants, aa extent of frontier from the
river St. Mary to the northernmost line, full
300 miles—a country hardly at any period
enjoying perfeft fafety, since the commence
ment of the revolution. My constituents, said
he, adopted the federal system from a hope
that we (hould be protested: some of them
at this moment, have never been able to re
turn to their habitations, which they left at
the commencement of the war; and I am
warranted in faying, that a part of my consti
tuents arc now, throughout the date, under
arms. Let members for a moment place their
constituents in the situation of mine, and let
me a(k them if they would not demand the
protecting arm of government. As yet wa
have experienced little more than the enfor
cing a treaty, that has not been complied
with on the part of the Britirti, which has re
duced some of our firft citizens to a date of
dependence on those who not long ago were
their avowed and open enemies, and a depri
vation of our territorial right, for the yield-,
ing of which a permanent peace, and perma
nent line were to be eftabliihtd. Os the peace
we have experienced no great ftme, and aa
for the permanent line it still remains to he
run, and from well grounded information, the
half way con Just of the Creeks the other day
with Mr. Scagrove, gives very little reafoq
to expeft it. Such he said was the situation of
his date. But to the point, he was of opinion
that »; fpt out wrong in warring with ths
Indians at any rate; unfortunately for us, the
event has not answered the design, and we are
now reduced to that ftite that hardly any
change can meud. The unaccountable soc
, ceis of the Indians Has so elated then) with
