PAR IS, July 14. *
A private letter from Vienna, of the
sjth inst. Hates the death of gen. Wuirn-
Juiy 15. ■-
The newsfchich we have this moment
received, is of such importance, that we
hasten to give it immediate publication,
in order that those whose concern it Ihould
be to contradifi it, may hasten to faiisty
v the nation on the fubje£t of alarms which,
if they are faife, are not yet groundless.
Brujjdi , July 21.
.•* The greater parrot the division com
manded by gen. Ruhepenfe, is crofting
Namur, for the purpose of entering the
interior of the republic. It is certain,
that a great number of troops from all the
armies, have received orders to repair to
Paris, and the environs of that capita!.
Malicious reports have already been spread
among thefc troops, who are made to be
lieve that a royalist counter-revolution is
• on the point of taking place immediately,
and that government has rccourfe to them
in order to prevent it. Whatever be the
o'njrft of this, the fad is certain, and it
is «hi< fly with the lighter troops that this
4s attempted."
The Royalift* of the Council of Five
Hundred, will he much aftonilhed to find
that Carnot himfeif gave the orders for
the march of the troops. Hocbe, incen
sed at the manoeuvres which are carrying
on against the three members of the di
ledory, will soon cut this gordian knot,
«nd disclose the truth.
Wc are assured, that an accommodation
has taken place between those membets
of the diredory who were moll at vaii
•nee, and it is hoped that two ministers
■ whom the public has so much rcafon to
tegret, will be kept in office.

LONDON, Augujl i.
Yesterday morning at two o’clock the
Diana Packet boat arrived at Dover
from Calais, and landed the Hon. Mr.
Wcflley, with dispatches from Lord
Malmrfljury at Lisle. Mr. Westley im

of his journey is conceived to be im
portant.
We have received the Paris journals
tp to the 27th instant, inclusive. Our
traders will observe, that what «e have
•ften anticipated seems, from the adivi
ty of the parties that agitate Paris, to
be now at no great distance---we mean
frefli convnlfions—-perhaps a new revolu
tion f The iflue however cannot be fa
vourable to the friends of the ancient
' fyftem-*-it will fink them lower in the
•byfs of wretchedncfs, and at last bury
them in oblivion.
The royalists in their eagernrfi, to
•ommence a system, which in a (late of
peace they might hope to mature, hare
shewn their views too openly. The di
fedory, apprehensive that peace may
tend to (Lengthen their opponents, may
polfibly prefer a continuance of foreign
war to a civil broil. Such a determina
tion will, however, only delay the peiiod
of its commencement.
An article from Vienna, of the 13th
Inst. dates, that the negociation* which
have hitherto taken place between the
plenipotentiaries of the emperor and Buo
naparte are to the fatisfadion of the
former, and lead to hope, that by the
Tefult, the house of Austria, will be in
demnified for the facrifices which it has
made to procure peace to Europe.
In Germany, the flames of war seem
on the point of breaking out anew.
1 he college of eledors at Ratifbon have
formally noticed theccndudof the Prof
fian monarch, in availing himfeif of the
late dangerous (late of the empire, to vi
olate the constitution, and to invade
the territories of certain members of the
Germanic bodv. The Aulic council hat,
In confequenee, called upon the emperor,
s*s head of the empire, to difpoffcfs the
invader of the poffeflions which he has
seized. This step, it is fupoofed, will
give rife to a war between Austria and
Pruflia; and the formidable force which
the firft of these powers has cn font,
leaves little room to doubt that he will
be Able to infl'd an exemplary punifti
the faithiefs so vertigo, who firft
deferred that cause which he had beta
the firft to efpcqfe.
The F.-cnch fleet now in Brest harbor
is commanded by admiral Duchay, it
confilts of twelve (hips of the line, and
nine frigates. The admiral, it is said,
has received orders to put to sea imme
diately.
Augujl 4.
The firft and third ot the four Ham
burgh mails due, arrived in the afternoon,
and at eleven o’clock last night we receive
ed our letters by the fourth mail. The
second is a!fo said to be landed at Yar
mouth.
The news by the above mails has been
in a great measure anticipated by the re
gular receipt of the Paris gazettes ; but a
private letter from Hamburgh, dated the
2g'h ult. contains very intending news
from H Aland refpefting the negociation
at Lill*. It confirms the reports given in
this paper, and generally believed heie,
that the negociation is encumbeied with
many difficulties ; and we have reason to
believe that they principally regard our
crlfion of the Dutch poffi-flionsin the East-
Indies, which it was always forefeen would
be a bone of contention. The French
are understood to have guaranteed the re
st itution of these fettlrments to the Bata
vian republic, bccaufc they would in fafl
be throwing their political importance in
to the hands of France.
The letters from Holland mention the
Cape of Good Hope to be the principal
grounds of contention, though we are per
suaded that the Island of Ceylon isconfi
dered of far greater importance. But we
do not think that any corredt opinion of
the result can be formed from any thing
that has yet palled on the fubjeft. As we
have already' observed, it is the system of
every negociation for both parties to make
the best appearance of their (Length and
importance; our ministry are willing to
give up all the couquefts made from
France, in order to procure peace; and
it is said that France has, in the firft in
stance, demanded the restitution of every
thing taken from herfelf, as well as her
present allies. We think she will relax
in her demands. But after all, such is
the importance of events now palling on
the theatre of republican France, the is
sue of which no human forefight can de
termine, that much mull depend on the
Chapter of Accidents; though it is unfor
tunate there ever was such a chapter in the
hiftory of war.

Sailing of the Dutch Fleet .
At three o’clock yesterday morning an
officer of'the Circe frigate, arrived at the
Admiralty Office, with an account that
the Dutch fleet had failed from the Texel
on Sunday last. An immediate commu
nication was made to the office of the
Duke of York, from whence dispatches
were sent at 8 o’clock to gen. Mufgrave,
commanding in the neighbourhood of
New-Castle ; to general Scott, command
ing st Beverly, and the commanders of
other places. The several clerks of the
admiralty were in attendance soon after 3
‘ o’clock, and early in the day the follow-,
ing letter was polled at Lloyd’s:
44 Circei Yarmouth 4 th of Augufl.
“ On Tuefday we found ourselves cJofe
in with the Texel, and were much sur
prised to find that there were not any (hips
of force there. We (poke a fifhingboat,
snd were informed that the enemy’s squa
dron, with a considerable number of troops
on board, had failed on Sunday. Admi
ral Duncan, on the preceding day, had
weighed anchor and put to sea. This is
all we could learn.
The strength of the Dutch is not ascer
tained ; it is only known that the fleet
consists ot five Ihips of 76 and 74 guns,
eight of 66 and 64, and fix of 54 and 44,
befidea frigates. The Jail account from
the Hague dates, that in addition to the
numerous troops embarked on board 400
transports, that each 74 contained 800
soldiers, and smaller Ihips in proportion;
but perhaps to believe half what we hear
would be to believe thrice too much.
The fl*et under admiral Dunean con-
Gfts, if we mistake nor, of 19 fail of the '
line, of which there are 3 three deckers,
and two are of 80 guns. A much less
force, we are fatisfied, would in the event
of an a&ion, support the glory the nation
has acquired ; but it needs not an increase
of glory; and we are fond of bloodless
viifLrics. The cause of the departure of
our fleet, without which the Dutch could
not have left the Texel, is vet to be ex
plained ; though if not a manoeuvre, it
douhtlcfs was unavoidable.
The Circe having taken order convoy
several victuallers* with 4® •xen t £%
sheep, £e. sos admiral Duncan, could
not go to the Northward, where proba
bly the Britiffi (quadronhas been driven.
Should it in working to iti station, or in
confrquer.ee of advice, fall in with the
enemy, we predift the rood: important
vidory Britain ever ■knew; becaofe, we
conceive the exillence ol Ireland at iflue !
We do not fear an attack on Britain ; the
enemy might plunder a few hamlets, when
the gallant spirit of a people, loyal, be
cause they arecomparatively happy, would
overwhelm the assailants --But Ireland !
Naked and famifhing, who fees, or thinks
(he fee*, the cruellest of all oppressors in
her kindred and absent children, may be
expeded to seize the semblance of relief.
On the fubjed of the affairs of Ireland
we have been uniform in our expressions,
having ever spoken from fads. It is a
painful and ungracious office to detail un
pleafantries; but while duty, candour,
and independence demand the recital, we
(hall not blulh at being the medium. Hap
py (hall vve fee! when circumftancea julti
fy a different language.
Between eight and nine yesterday
morning the firft lieutenant of the Circe
arrived at admiralty with a confirmation
of the preceding account*; from which
time, to putting this paper to press, no
further intelligence had been received.
LANSINGBURG, Augujt 29.
Indian Treatt.
A treaty with the fix nation* is about
being held at Big Tree, on the Gencfee
river, in the county ot Ontario, general
Shepherd, of Ham, (hire, Maffachufrtt*,

thi*.village and Troy. Several patriotic
gentlemen have offered to fubferibe large
sums towards an undertaking of this na
ture.
CHARLESTON, Septtmber 20.
The (hip Caroline, captain Ingli*, left
the Down* the 26th July and the Lands
End July 27.
We are happy to announce the arrival
of the Carolina in port; there was a ge
neral and great anxiety left (he (hould
fall into the hands of the pirate Le Grou
per, which is fully equalled by the plea
sure of her arrival.
We may now hope that the remaining
fall (hips, from the late leafon at which
they are expeded to arrive will have a
clearer eoaft made for them by the En
gli(h cruisers expeded in this latitude,
and that we may (hortly have the account
of the Groupci’s capture, confirmed.
Thefchooner Esther, anchored off fort
Johnston yesterday in 7 day* from Nassau.
Account* were received by the Esther,
of the capture of the pilot boat Lucy,
captain Prince, bound from this port to
the Havannah, by a Providence privateer,
who sent her and some other American*
into Nassau.
The Lucy had no contraband good* on
board, it is to be hoped therefore, that
(he will be immediately difenarged and
the owner* of the privateer made to pay
for her detention.
Mr. Macbeth and Mr. Evans arrived
in the Carolina from London, and were
the only passengers.
The (hip Pallas, capt. Hunter, from
this port for Giafgow, arrived in Clyde,
the 10th of June.
