BXIRALCTS Of a letter from England, to a gentleman in Philadelphia, dateg Bath, February 18, 1793- “THE price of tin in European mar kets, is raised from 58 to 72 per cent.—by which Cornwall receives be tween 30 and 40,0001. sterling per an aum the greateit part of it from foreign markets so that there is full employ ment for men, women, and children, and the county not able to answer the full demand. And yet strange to relate the county produces little corn. Depending on precarious importations, the poor in habitants are often deprived of a supply, and grow riotous thro’ want, even in times of profound peace. What may be expected, then, in this and other places similarly situate, in case the present war with France thould continue. _ I was agreeably entertained by Mr. Bartram’s travels in the Floridas and 8. Carolina. His account of fithes of prey living peaceably with the smaller inoffen five g‘y, while together in clear, transpar ent water, is new and curious His ac count of the amiable manners of those nations whom, thro’ pride, we style Sa vages, is also very interesting. —Strange that the artificial mode of flattening the heads of the children of the Chattaws, by mechanical compreflion, long conti nued, does not derange the faculties of the brain On the contrary, we read, they become {enfible, ingenious men bold, intrepid, yet quiet and peaceable ci tizens. The method of taming wild horses, by salt, is a singular fa&, and l worthy attention. In case the present troubles in this country, thould go to extremities, and terminate in anarchy, or a national con vulsion, America seems to offer the only eligible asylum for peaceable Englith fub jeéts, who can surmount local prejudices znd reconcile themselves to a voyage a cross the Atlantic, and content themielves with becoming fellow-citizens with their brethren in America. Many cir cumstances seem to portend such an event as at no great distance. The sanguinary spirit that now prevails among the po tentates of Europe cannot fail to fubjeét the inhabitants to all the horrors and ca lamities of war, or force them to {eek re fuge in more peaceable climes.

The lafk year, particularly in the western parts of this Island, has been un commonly wet, Of 365 days in the year 1792, two hundred and f{ixty three were rainy. viz. in January, 1§ days; in Feb. 27 in March, 25 in April, 29 in May 20; in June, 18 in July 25 in August, 1g; in Sept. 18 in O&o --ber, 25 in November, 13 in-Dec. 26. ‘The present year, thus far, has been very similar Scarce any froft or snow, much rain, cloudy atmosphere, the fun seldom visible. A method has lately been invented for making the changes of the daromerer by a clock and this might perhaps, with out difficulty, be transferred to the ther mometer and hydrometer--—which would be a capital improvement in meteorolo gical experiments. The Steam Engine has received great and important improvements, and is a bout to be applied to the propelling of veflels and other purposes, in all which I believe America is not behind hand. The samples of the true cinnamon lately sent from Jamaica, are allowed to rival, or even excel the best {pecimens hitherto imported from Ceylon and the plantation is said to be in a flourithing condition. Plants might be transplanted to Carolina, or other f{imilar latitudes.

State Paper. GENERAL DUMOURIER TO THE ERENCH NAZIION. SINCE the commencement of the Re volution, I have devoted myfelf to the maintemance of the liberty and honor of the nation. The services I rendered in the year 1792, are the most memorable, Minister of*Foreign Affairs during three months, I elevated and sustained the dignity of the French name throughout all Europe. I was calumniated by an odious cabal, by whom I was charged with having plundered fix millions of livres destined for secret services. I have proved, that of this sum I did not expend half a mil lion. r Having quitted the career of politics towarcs the close of the month of June, Elcommanded a small army in the De partment of the north. This Depart ‘ment was ordered to quit with my troops, at the very time the Austrians _entered in force that part of the Repub lic. I disobeyed the order, saved the De.- partment, and an attempt was made to come on me by surprise, for the purpose of conveying me to the Citadel of Mentz, where I was to be condemned by a coun cil of war to fuffer death. On the 28th of Auguit, I took upon me, in Champagne, the command of an army of twenty thousand men, weak, and without either discipline or organi- zaton. I arrested the progress of eighty thouand Pruflians and Heflians, 2nd sorted them to retrear after they had fa crifred the one half of theirarmy. I wasthen the Saviour of France and thet it was that the most wicked of meun, th¢opprobium of Frenchmen~—in a word, Mirat, began to caluminate me without any mercy. With a part of the viftorious ‘arny of Champagne and f{gme other ‘trapps: T untered, on the gth of Novem bei, x4ir Belgic Provinces, where I gained the for ever-memorable battle of Jemap pe and, after a fucceflion of advantages, ‘entered Liege and Aix-la-Chapelle, to wards the ciofe of that month. From that moment my deftruftion was resolved on and I have been accused of aspiring, now to the titleof Duke of Brabant, now to the Stadtholderfhip, and again to the Di&tatorfhip. To retard and crush my fuccefles, the minister Pache, supported by the criminal fation to whom all our evils are to be afciibed, fuffered the vic torious army to want every thing, and {ucceeded in disbanding it by famine and nakedness. The consequence was, that more than fifteen thousand men were in the hospital, more than twenty-five tHou.- sand deserted through misery and disgust, and upwards of ten thousand horses died of huager Gt ke I transmitted to tte National Conven tion very {ftrenuous remonstrances, which I followed up by repairing in person to Paris, to engage the Legislators to apply a remedy to the evil they did not even condescend to read the four memorials 1 delivered in. During the twenty-fix hours I spent at Paris, 1 heard almost every night bands of pretended Federates de mand my head and calumaies of every description, as well as menaces and in sults followed me even into the country. house, to which 1 retired. Having delivered in my resignation, 1 was retained in thefervice of my country, because it was proposed to me to nego ciate the suspension of the war against England and Holland which I had con ceived as indispensable to the fafety of the Netherlands. Whillt I negociated, and that fuccefsfully, the National Con vention itfelf hastened to declare war, without making any preparaticns, and without either power or means for its sup: ort. ki Lingnes |8 TR e 1 was not even advised of this declara tior and learned it through the medium of t..e Gazettes only. I hastened to form a small army of new troops, who had never fought and with these troops, whom confidence rendered invincible, 1 made myfelf master of three firong places, and was ready to penetrate into the mid dle of Holland, when I learned the disas ter of Aix-la-Chapelle, the raising of the siege of Maeltricht, and the fad re treat of the army. By this army I was loudly summoned—l abandoned my con quests to fly to its fuccour and consi dered that we could be extricated from our difficulties by a speedy success only. I led my companions in arms to the ene my. On the 16th of March, Ihad a considerable advantage at Tirlemont’ On the 13th, I brought the enemy to a general altion and the centre and right wing, under my charge, were viftorious. The left wing, after having attacked im prudently, fled. On the Igth, we re treated homorably with the brave men that were left together, for a part of the army disbanded itfeif. On the 211, and 22d, we fought with the fame courage ‘and to our firmnefs was owing the pre servation of the remains of an army which ‘breathes solely for true liberty for the reign of ihe laws, and for the extinc tion of anarchy. It was then that the Marats, the Ro ‘berfpierres, and the criminal feéts of Ja cobins of Paris plotted the fall of the ‘g-nerals and more especially of mine. 1 hefe villians, bribed with the gold of Foreign Power to complete the diforgan ‘i, Ition of the armies, caused almost all t.e generals to be arrested. They keep them in the Jails of Paris, to September iz2 them for thus it is that these mon ftcrs have coined 2 word, to hand down t¢ posterity the remembrance of thé hor- VoLuME xxx¥.~~Nunp. 01. rid massacres of the firft fix days of Sep tember. Whilst I was employed re-composing the army, in which employment I labor ed night and day, con the firft of April (yesterday) four commiflioners reached me with a decree purporting that I thould be brought to the bar of the Convention ite’€., The war minister, Bournonville (my pupil) was weak enough to accoma pany them, to succeed me in my com mand, The persons who were in {uite of thof? peffiagws«*émifi*aries, ihformed me, themselves that different groups of assassins, eitaer fugitives from or driven out of my army, were dispersed on the road to kill me before I could reach Paris. I spent several hours in endeavoring to convince the commissioners of the impru dence of this arrest——Nothing could shake their pride and 1 therefore ar rested the whole of them, to serve me as hostages against the crimes of Paris. I instantly arranged with the !mperial ifts a suspension of arms, and marched towards the capital, to extinguith, as speedily as poflible, the lighted embers of a civil war, My dear countrymen it is expedient that a true and brave man remove from you the veil which covers all our crimes and misfortunes. In 1789, we made great efforts to obtain Liberty, Equality, and the Sovereignty of the people. Our principles were consecrated in the decla ration of the Rights of Man and there have resulted from the labois of our Le gislators, ift, the declaration which fays that France is and shall remain a monara chy—2dly, a constitution to which we {wore fealty in 1789, ’go, and ’gl. This constitution might, and indeed must have been imperfet 3 but it ought and might have been believed, that with time and experience, its errors would be rettified, and that the neceflary {trife be tween the Legislative and Executive pow ers would eftablith a wife equilibriuvm, which would prevent either of vhefe pow ers from seizing the whole of the autho rity, and attaining despotism. If the despotism of a single individual is dan gerous to Liberty,how much inore odious must be that of 700 men many of whom are void of principles without morals and, who have been able to reach that supre macy by cabals or crimes alone Licentiousness and excess soon render ed it impossible to support the yoke of a constitution that gave laws.—The tri bunes influenced the assembly of repre-, {entatives, and were themselves awed by the dangerous club of the Jacobins of Paris==The f{trife between the two pow ers at length became a daily combat: Then was the equilibrivm destroyed——- France ceased to havea King and the viftory of the ioth of August was foiled by the attrocious crimes .of the firft day of September. All the departments, but more efpe ‘cially the wretched city of Paris, were de livered up to piilage, to denunciations, proscriptions, and massacres. No Frenche 'man, the aflaflins and their complices ex= cepted, had either his life or his proper l ty in security The consternation of fla l very was augmented by the clamorous or gies of Villains Bands of pretended Fe derates ran through and laid waste the departments and of the seven hundred individuals who composed this defpoti¢ and anarchial body, four or five hun. dred groaned and decreed, and decreed and groaned, exposed to the extermin. ating sword of the Marats and Ro berfpierres. It is thus that the un. fortunate Louis the 16th perithed, with. out a judicial trial, and without a triby. nal and ’tis thus that the decree of the 19th of November has provoked all na tions by holding out to them our aid, provided they will counfent to disorgan ize themselves. ’Tis thus that the un jult and impolitic decree of the Igth of December has alienated from us the hearts of the Belgians, has driven us from the Netherlands, and would have brought a bout the massacre of our whole army by this nation, provoked at our outrages and our crimes, if I had not saved that \very army by my Proclamaticns, *Tis

thus that a deered etablithed the bloody:, tribanal which plades the lives of the ci tizens at the mercy of a small number of iniguitdus judges, without recourfz or appeal to any other tribunal. ’Tfs thas: that'doring the last month all the decrees have been marked by the ffamp of in- Tatiable avarice, by the biindeftpride,’ and more especially by the desire of main.. taing power, by calling to the most im portant posts of the state no other than daring, incapable and ¢riminal men, by driving away or murdering men enlight ¢€ned and of a high chara&er;'and by sup porting a phantom of a republic which their errers in admiaiftration and-in po licy, as well as their crimes, had render ed impracticable. These seven hundred individuals despise, detest, caluminate and revile each other and have already, and that frequently thought of peignar ding the one the other, At this moment thewr blind ambition has impelled them to coalelce afrefh and bold criminality allies itlelf to feeble virtue, to preserve a power as unjust as it is unsteady. In the mean time, their committees devour every thing, that of the National treasury ab sorbing the public funds, without being able to render any account of the expen diture. e st What has this Convention done to maintain the War, it has provoked a gainit all the powers of Europe It has disorganized the armies, in stead of reinforcing and recruiting the troops of the line, and the ancient bat talions of National Volunteers, which would have formed a reipetable army. Instead of recompensing these brave war riors by promotion and praises, these le gislators have left the battallons incom plete, naked, disarmed and dilconted. In the fame way have they treated the ex. cellent cavalry and the brave French ar tillery is in the fame manner exhausted, -abandoned, and in want of every necel fary. They, notwithstanding, create new eorps composed of the Satellites of the zd of September, and comimanded by men who have never served, and who are no other way to be dreaded unless by the ar imies they surcharge and disorganize. The Convention facrifices every thing to these Satellites of tyranny, to these cowardly head-loppers. The choice of officers, and that of administrators, are in every particular the fame: we fee throughout the tyranny which flatters the wicked, because the wicked alone can support tyranny :—And, in its pride and its Ignorance, this Conveiition orders the eonquelt and disorganization of the whole Uaiverfe it fays to one of its Generals, Go and take Romé—and to another, Sally forth and subdue Spain—to the end that despoiling commiflioners, {imi lar to those horrid Roman Proconsuls a ?‘a‘infi_ whom Cicero declaimed, may be ent thitlier. In the worlt fealon of the year, it fends the only fleet it poffefles into the Mediterranean, to split and founder on the rocks of Sardinia whilst it éxpofes the fleets of Brest to the fury of the storms, by fending them in quest of an English fleet that has not yet leit its port. g Z In the mean time, a civil war fpreadsl through all the departments. Some of the insurgents are excited by fanaticifm, the necessary effett of persecution; o thers by an indignation at the tragical and fruitlefs end of Louis the Sixteenth and others, finally, by the natural principle of refiflting persecution. Arms are every where taken up mur ders every where committed and every where are pecuniary supplies and provi sions intercepted. The Englith foment these troubles and will, by their f(uc cours, {upply fuel to thiem ar their plea sure. Soon will every one of our Cor sairs disappear on the ocean soon will the southern department cease to receive supplies of corn from Italy and Affrica and already have those from the North and from America been intercepted by the {quadrons of the enemies. Famine will annex itfelf to all our other scourges and the ferocity of our Canibals will but increase with our calamities. o Frenchmen we have a rallying-point, which can ftifle the monster of anarchy ’tis the constitution we swore to maintain in 1789, ?o, and g 1 ’tis the work of a free people and we shall remain free, and shall recover our glory, by resuming our constitution. Let us display our virtues, more espe cially that of mildnels too much blood has already been spilled. If the moniters by whom we have been disorganized chufe to fly, let us leave them to meet their punithment elfwhere, if they do not find it in their own corrupted heart, but if they wish to support .anarchy by new erimes, then shall the army punish them. 7Yn the penerofity of the enem’ies’l” have oft grievously outraped, ha found the security of external peag.

Let the sacred torch of the love of @r country awaken in us our virtue and @ir courage at the bare name of Conftini tion, civil war will ceale, or can no logg er exist unless against certain malevolint men who will no longer be fupportedby foreign powers. These have no hated so any others among us except our fati ous criminals and desire nothing more fervently than to restore their esteem and friendfhip to a Nation whose errors and anarchy diftarb and trouble all Earoge. Peace will be the fruit of this refclurion, and the troops of the line, as wel as the bravé national volunteers, who for the space of a year have offered themselves as willing facrifices to liberty, and who ab hor anarchy, will repose in the bosom of their families, after having sccomplifhed this noble work. As to myfe!f I have already made an oath, and I repeat it bei. e the whole nation, and in the presence of all Ea. rope,. that immediately after having ef fe€ted the fafety of my country by the re eftablifiment of the constitution of peace and good order, I shall abandon every public funtion, and shall seek in solitude the enjoymient of the happiness of my fel low-citizens.

Their principal obje& of attack was Kofheim and thé grand redoubt of Ma/fact; when the enemy succeeded in penetrating the Heflians right wing in a manner almost imperceptible bat the firmnefs of the Heflians did not permit them to finith their devastation the enemy in turn ir retrievably losing one piece of cannon, while those which they nailed up of ours may again be rendered serviceable. The post of Biberic was allo as warmly assailed, as de ended by Major Seirnavus, with two companies of dismounted Chaffeurs. The enemy left 60 men upon the ground on their retreat. Our left wing at Kofheim was attack ed with 3 or 4000 men and four pieces of cannon they forced the gate, but did not long keep pofleflion, as I had no {ooner determined upon the mode of com bined attack, than I ordered two battal ions of my left wing, under Gen. Vir. TENGHOFEN, to march again{t them, protected by my batteries. On this oc casion I regret the loss of Lieutenant Borsrerr and fix brave soldiers of the regiment of Croufaz. The Heflian troops were f{uftained by Lieutenant-General De LinbpT, with three battalions es in fantry, and two squadrons of cavalry, not withstanding Kofbeim was then vigorouly ‘attacked in fine, the French were re pulsed in all parts.

by the citizens ¢f Philadelphia, to Citiz en GeneT, minister Plenipotentiary from the French Republic, to the U. States.— Three tables were laid out and upwards of 200 persons were present. The ar tillery who were {tationed near the com pany fired 15 rounds at the lift, Bth and last. toasts, and 3 at every other, Several Patriotic songs were sung, and the cap of LIBERTY supported by the American and French colours, ap peared at the Head of the table. The evening terminated in the utmost har mony, as the day had been spent for there has seldom been known any public meeting, that equalled this for sentiment, friendfhip, liberty and conviviality. Island of St. Domingo. The last letters received by Citizen Ge net,Minifter Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the United States, from the National Commissioners at St. Domingo, contain the most fatisfatory particulars refpeéting the tranquility which the Col ‘ony enjoys since the surrender of Port au-Prince, on the Izth of April last, and the expulsion of men who, itirred up by the Britith governmeut, had formed the design of delivering up the Colony to that power, where they had long been fomenting dilturbances, #ad meditating the ruin of the country, or its {eparation from the French empire. These inveterate enemies to France are no doubt those who have spread a notion through the United States, that American veflels carrying provisions to the French part of St. Domingo, might run the risk of being seized there with their cargoes. The Citizens of the United States, may on the contrary relt assured, that they fhali always receive from the National Commissioners and public fun&ionaries in that Colony, the prote&tion which they have a right to expe&t for them/lelves and their property, and that they shall be duly paid for all such articles as they may supply the Colony with the Na tional Convention having put confidera bie sums in their disposal for that obje&, besides what they raise from the contri butions in produce levied on the inhabi tants of the Colony. 70BA4AGO0. The attack made by the Britith on the Island of T'obago, will be one of the me moradle =ras of the French revolution. Soldiers animated by the love of liberty, were alone capable of the resistance which was oppoked by FORTY MEN, to a very numerous body of Eonglith troops. On the 15th of April, in the night, the En glith landed on Courland Bay two com plete regiments, Dbefides a great number of volunteers brought from Barbadoes, and French emigrants from the Colonies. The landing was effefted by the active aflilftance of four fifths of the inhabitants of the Island who are almost all English, and with whom the Britith generals bad long maintained a secret correspondence. Those Colonists who were at least bound by their oaths of allegiance, to remain quiet fpetators of the contest—served on the contrary as guides to the Englith troops during the night, who arrived at 3 o’clock in the morning under the small fort of Tobago, garrisoned by 40 regu lars only. Not until that moment, was ‘Montel, the commandant, informed of the arrival of the Britith the garrison immediately prepared for a vigorous de fence, with an ardour that is impofiible to describe. The brave Montel, who had already acquired a great reputation by his con duct at St. Lucia, of which he was gov ernor at the time of the rebellion of Mar tinique and Guadaloupe, being summon ed to surrender, answered, that such men as his fellow-foldiers and himfelf, could not surrender to the slaves of despotism. ‘The firing began and was kept up very ‘brikly on both sides the Englith afton ithed at a resistance which they were not prepared for, from the assurances they had received from the French emigrants, that the patriotic banditti would fly on their firft approach, offered for these. cond time to the commandant a capitu lation on the most honorable terms his answer was, that he never would capitu late, and that they might begin the as sault with which he was threatened. Op this answer, the Englith generals in salt ordered the fort to be stormed, courage was obliged to yield to numbers, and the fort was taken sword in hand. The loss was very considerable on the fide of the Englith, one of their generals was dange rously wounded. On the French fide, the brave forty were almost all killed- or wounded, and the few survivors were sent to England as prisoners of war; com mandant Montel was one of these. ®MOSTON, June 1" E&traé? of a letter from London, i'il ZT. On the 15th inst. the unfortunate Gen. BrancuiLawnD, formerly Gov. of Hispaniola, was belieaded at Paris. The greatest simplicity of manners—an inexhaustible fund of goodness—the purest foul-s-the molt scrupulous exercise of e-i very moral and religious virtiie—a sol dier’s intrepidity, united to the experi ence of an old officer, indebted solely to his merit for his advancement—and an unsullied behavior in the moit difficult {tations, were chtara&eriftics of this man, and they well entitled him to the Mar tyr’s crown, In his last moments, his moderation and firmnefs could not be 1 furpafled but by the ferocious barbarity of Eis executioners. J Gen. BrancuHeraxp failed from Cape-Francois, when Gen. D’EspARBES arrived to take the government of His paniola. The Mandatories of the san guinary Convention of Fragce, (the Com miflioners,) in leaving t¢ his order the frigate, in which he embarked, caused him to appear before the Convention, in order to be tried—The Convention re ferred his trial to the tribunal of Paris, who also had the charges against Col. Cambefort, and his officers, under cog ‘nizance. The tribunal acquitted Cambe fort, and his officers, much to the diffatis faction of the Convention who looking upon the decision as too.great a mark of indulgence, ordered a new Revolutionary Tribunal to take cognizance of the pro secution against Gen. Blancheland—and ‘in forty-eight hours he was tried, con ~demned, exécuted, and his property con fifcated—notwithftanding the constitu tional -law against the last part of the {entence.”’ 3 COMBINED ARMIES. At the latest date of our European accounts, the combined armies were hourly augmenting. But they were not in a state of very aétive operation—con tenting themielves with 4 few sieges and blockades. The most official accounts, fay, That the Prince of Cobourg was? waiting for the junttion of the whole of the forces which are to attack France at the fame time, in order to make a grand attack.—The different corps are to be disposed as follows The principal army commanded by Prince Cobourg, to canfift entirely of Austrians Count Clairfayt to head the Pruflians, joined to a corps of Imperialists and the Duke 1 of York to have under his orvders, the Englith, Dutch, and Hanoverians. The corps of Pruflians that was under Prince Frederick of Brunswick, were advanced‘ from Dutch Brabant into the Nether lands, and formed part of the cordon on the French frontier. They had taken pofleflion of the small towns of Lannoy, Turcoin, and Roubaix where they were preparing for theattack of Lisle, where there is a garrison of 20,000 men, who have made several fuccefsfnl sallies. Ac counts from Lisle dated the 17th April, state it to be surrounded on all sides. Conde was still invaded but no place has yet surrendered to the allied army. It fcems to be their intention to enter France, by Landrecy and St. Quintin.” SALEM, Fune 11. ADVICES FROM MARTINIQUE. Capt, Evi Brown, who arrived at Marblehead on Saturday last from Mar tinique, which he left the Igth ult. has aftorded us the following particulars re lative to the situation of that Island. The 6th of May there was a general alarm beat in St. Pierre, and all the Whites, Mulattoes and free Negroes were turned ~out to embark for fort Royal, to make a ~general attack upon the Aristocrats—on their way thither, the General tho’t it best not to go out with his whole body, and dispatched back to St. Pierre, by land, 200 men, who were attacked by a body of the enemy, abreast of Cafe-Na vire that were concealed in the Cane Patches, but the Republicans made a re treat in good order to St. Pierre, with two only of their party wounded.—The next morning the Firm line of battlethip and the Calypso frigate, belonging to the Aristocrats, took pofleffion og Case- Navire and cut off the communication between Fort Royal and St. Pierre, b land and sea. The 10oth, eleven Briti‘lfi ships (8 of the line and 3 frigates) made their appearance off St. Pierre—three of them proceeded up and tock pofleflion of Fort-Royal Bay, in order to block it up, the remaindér anchored upon Times, at Cafe-Navire, where they lande* and the Englith and White flags were Roifted in ‘union. About sor 6 days before Capt. Brown failed, of the En%!ifh thips dis appeared—and on his paflage he spoke an Englith privateer off Dominica, the Commander of which informed him that 'the second Englith fleet had arrived at Barbadoes, wirth troops, and thse the above 7 ships were gone for said troops. The fkirmifthes between the General’s party (the republican, we suppose) and the Aristocrats were frequent and bloo dy—the former had burnt 22 plantations between Robert and Lamentin, as was reported when Capt. Brown failed. No veflels had arrived at France for 40 days. The French sailors were obliged to goon shore to guard the town, as what few old men the General left on guard were worn down with fatigue. The embargo had been on 15 days when Capt. Brown failed—the Stores had been shut the time, and no business tran fafled. NEWBURYPORT, June It.
