vour to cut off the supplies dehined
for Bourdeaux.
At Arras, the guillotine is constantly
in requilition ; and between ten and
twelve persons fall by it every week.
In the fitting of the municipality of
Paris, of the 14th inh. twelve persons
were hated to have been difniiTed
from the Temple, as they had been
recognized to have formerly been in
the lervice of count d’Artois, and of
course no confidence could be repoled
in their patriotism.
A petition has been presented in the
municipality, demanding the imprison
ment of all lewd women, and of the
wives of the emigrants.
At the meeting of the Jacobins of
the fame day, one Lullier laid, “ We
must either terminate the war in three
months, or resolve to be Haves.”
The fame man moved, that 100,000
fans culottes be sent over to England,
and that ;lie (hips which fiiall convey
them be burnt, to cut off their return.
We lhall abandon to them, laid he,
that kingdom, where they may take
care to enrich themselves with the
spoils of its inhabitants.
All kinds of forage is now extremely
dear at Lifie, and the bufhcl of oats
costs 5S livres (two guineas and a
half). A few waggon-loads of draw,
which arrived there on the 16th from
Ser.lis, fold at 7 livres per bundle.
Perpignan has peremptorily de
manded I'uccour. The Spanilh pa
trole, advance close to the walls, and
the garrison is weak.
Many of the popular societies de
mand a change of generals, and of the
conhltuted authorities, as the only
means cf deroyalizing France. On
this occasion, the proposition for ex
cluding all nobles from mi'jtary func-
I ttons was renewed : the prefideilt pro
| mifed a ipeedy report upon it. A de
puty propoled to prepare a lift, which
Ihould be sent to the committee of
public welfare, of all the fufpe&cd
perlons who are in the nation.

Arrehs are niorfc multiplied than
ever. It is said that Euzot and Eorfas
are among the number. The latter
is laid to have beenarrehed under the
disguise of a tinker. The dress of a
ihoe-black would have suited him bet
ter, as he served an apnrenticefhip to
.this business, under his father at Li
moges. In relpeft to Petion, it ap
pears, that the news of his arrelt was
premature ; he is hill living with his
triend Barbaroux, at the house of the
ex-conhituent Tervelegan, at £)ubri
ber, m Lower Britanny, at which
place the Girondih party is hronger
than the Jacobins.
Louis Evequ, formerly president of
•me of the departments, has been
guillotined, for having committed the
crime of remitting money to his own
Dn, who is on emigrant. He mounted
hte fcaffjld with great firmnefs and
. composure, such as has diltinguifhed
many others who have fallen martyrs
to the religion, and in the defence of
. Cj *
*ue;r country.
TOURS, September 21.
An unfortunate event has delayed
•ur success in La Vandee. The army
Angers and Saumur, between forty
3 ud fifty thouland hrong, having feiz
,cd Gauzon, and advanced farther be
yond that place, was on the 18th at
,ne dihanceof only a few leagues from
Cholicf, when confufion was spread
among them, which was followed by
a defeat. Our troops retreated partly
to Vthers, partly to Douay.
Dunoux, who commanded another
column, afraid leh he lhould ufe'lefsly
expo!e his division, resolved on the
tentli to make it re-enter Beaulieu.—
1 his retreat was effected in good order
as far as St. Lambert, where a party
of the rebels attempted to cut it off,
and a panic hruck all the soldiers who
compoled that column. In vain did
the general officers attempt to rally
them, and the troops of the republic
retreated in the utmoh confufion, as
far as Pont de Ce.
BRUSSELS, October r.
On the 26th and 27 th ult. the
French attempted to harass the cordon
of the allies, to the environs of Wer
wick ; they were, however, repulsed
by the Austrians and Hanoverians,
who form that cordon.
Hardly a day elapses without fome
considerable tranlports of recruits ar
viving here from Germany, for the
different regiments. Within these
few days pait, 500 arrived, of whom
about 2Do are to join the regiment
of Loudon Vertl.
Ihe a<hs of violence which the
French exercise in their departments,
to force the inhabitants to take up
arms, are as Unheard of as the cruel
ties exerciled by them over those who
refule to obey the sanguinary decrees
of the convention. It is said, that
upwards of 200 unfortunare peasants
were /hoc in the dihriffs of Peronne,
for having refufed to march. These
atrocities are so much multiplied in
leveral other departments of the re
public, that a great number of those
wretched victims leave their homes, to
leek an asylum in our cities. His fe..
rene highnels the prince of Saxe Co
bourg receives them with great kind
ness and humanity.
LONDON, September 28-
Sir Gilbert Elliott is appointed to
a hation unknown in the hihory of
England—he is to goout commifiioner
to Toulon, with great fplendour.
Lord Hood and general O’Hara
are appointed joint commifiicners with
fir Gilbert Eliiort in his new million.
Among the captious /ticklers for
the hrict practice of the conhitution.
there may be doubts as to the right
of making filch an appointment with
out the authority of parliament 5 but
happily, in the-present time, if it
should be anew assumption of prero
gative, a novelty will serve as a re
commendation of the measure.
OCTOBER 2. .
The lah accounts from the duke of
York’s army, give us reason to expect,
that a powerful attack will be made
upon the French entrenched camp at
Caffcl- As the prince of Saxe Co
bourg is colleding all the force pohible
for rMis important attack, we are led
to hope that the event will be molt
fortunate for the allies
, - OCTOBER 5.
As the allied army again advances
towards Dunkirk, and admira!M‘Bride
is now ready to co-operate with them,
we hope to hear no more of French
gun-boats, u.ilefs of their being burnt
and dehroyed-
It seems irnpoffible that Marseilles
fliould remain long in the hands of the
republicans. That city contains nearly
160,000 inhabitants, who chiefly ex
ilted upon corn and provilions im
ported from the Italian hates.—The
whole of the fourh of France, likewise,
was supplied through Marfeiiles.—
Blocked up as it now is, many rhou
fands muh periih.
OCTOBER 8. ——
From Angers, in La Vended, we
have advice that the royalihs are tri
umphant. Dubayet, the republican
general, has been defeated at Roche
fur Yon, with the lols of four pieces
of cannon, and upwards of 600 men
killed. La Compte, another general,
was alio defeated ; and his army, con
fining inohly of peasants, fell back to
Lucon, where it is completely sur
rounded, and will be forced to sur
render.
By dispatches received this day, we
learn, that all the allied forces in the
neighbourhood of Landau, See. have
been combined to make one general
attack on the lines of WeifTemburg, as
on Wednesday lah.
It is said that about twenty of the
Dutch officers have lately been broke
for bad conduct in the late engagement
with the French.
OCTOBER 10.
morning, between one
and two o’clock, lord Elgin arrived in
town, from the continent. His lord
ship left Menin on Monday lah. No
material recent event had then oc
curred ; hut diipofitions were making
by the prince of Saxe Cobourg for an
attack of the entrenched camp of Mau
beuge, on the Bth or 9th init. so that
we may, in the course of this day, or
to-morrow, hear the event of this
important operation.
WINCHESTER- December 2 -
Extract of a letter from a gentleman
at Knoxville, to his friend in Win
cheher, dated November 3, 179^.
“ You no doubt have heard that
general Sevier, by order of secretary
Smith, in the absence cf governor
Blount, gave immediate pursuit to the
large party of Indians who invaded
Knox county on the 25th of Septem
ber, and killed Alexander Cavil and
family, and burnt and ddtroyed sun
dry plantations, large quantities of
grain in hacks, and killed all the
ltock of cattle and hogs that came in
their way.
“ I have now to inform you that
the general, after having been 17
.days in the Cherokee country, and
having palled quite through it to the
Greek villages (the whole dihance at
leah 150 miles south of the Tennessee)
lias return to the frontiers with the
loss of three men killed and three
wounded.
‘ c He was net able to bring the
whole party to affion, but a part of it,
confiding of from 200 to 300 Indians,
ambnfeaded the south bank of the
Hightower river, and gave his ad
vance, led by captain Evans, a very
warm reception ; killing, at the firh
fire, as he afeended the bank,.the three
above-mentioned; captain Evans in
hantly returned the fire, and in a few
minutes the Indians gave way, leav
ing several dead on the ground, and
fifteen bloody trails were difeovered,
where they had dragged off the
wounded.
“ Not more than thirty men had
afeended the bank, with Evans, and
more bravery and dexterity in Indian
fighting never was displayed than on
this occasion. The word of command
on the Indian fide was given in Creek,
and one of the leaders was fliot down
three times, with three several balls,
advancino- the moment he role ; the
fourth put an end to his exihence.
** On the 13th of October, a party
of about 30 Indians killed mr. Lewis
and five children, in the Greasy Cove,
and dehroyed their houses arid grain,
killed their cattle and carried off their
horses- Small parties are daily ha
ralfing our frontiers.
“ The families are generally col
lected together in different Rations,
at fome of which there are as many as
three hundred men, women and
children hutted on an acre of ground
for their common defence.’’
We are informed that 250 militia
cavalry, commanded by ccfpitainsEvans
and Taylor, were to march from
Knoxville,
croffmg the Tt effee, and ranging
in the Cherokee country, from the
mouth of Clinch 10 the Big Plains of
Tellicoe.
CHARLESTON, December 27.
A correspondent has communicated
the following :—By the Governor
Hamilton we hear, that the cargoes
of the brig Phoebe and Fair Lady,
both of Philadelphia, were condemned
at Bermuda as French property, both
ships acquitted ; the (hip Robert, of
Philadelphia, and all her cargo, was
a!io condemned, the iflandbeino- then
in a Harvmg condition, and fearful
ofinvalion from the French ; but as
appeals were peifedted in each case,
no doubt is entertained of those de
crees being reversed with damages.
1 he judge of the court of vice aiL
miralty there having been bred a
painter,’ and appointed before the
war broke out, may be conlidered as
the ignorant and innocent cause of
those errors.
