Never did the recruiting service proceed with so much fuccefsin this kingdom as at this moment : With in the last week, a ferjeant Upon this duty, raised 150 men in the coorfe of one day—and so much did the ardor of the multitude le cond his zeal, that he was borne round the city on the shoulders of the admiring croud, while he ex horted and invited Irilhmcn to en list in defence of their king and country ? Domestic Articles. SAVANNAH, April 4. On Thursday morning last, Mr. George Waftiington Greene, son of the lace Gen. Greene, was unfortu nately drowned in this river, near Mulberry Grove, by the oversetting of a canoe. Mr. Stites, a young gentleman who was with him, with much difficulty got to the fliore. Mr. Greene's Corpse was found next day, and on Saturday was interred here. The Cincinnati Society, of •which he was a member, and a num ber of respectable citizens, attend ed the fnneral We are happy to have it in our power to coiitradidt that part of the disagreeable Indian intelligence, which mentioned the plundering of Mr. Cafhen's store on Setilla, and the murder of his two clerks. It seems lonie Indians had been at the (lore, but did not commit any atfts of violence. The goods have fxnte been removed from thence by Mr. Calhen. CHARLESTON, April 9. Yesterday morning the French frigate, l'Enibul'cade, commanded by citizen BbnVpart", mounting 36 guns, and manned with 30* Teamen, appeared off our bar ; where Ihe came to anchor. L'Embufcade had a passage of for ty-two clays from Rochfort. This veH'el was dispatched by the French Republic with M. Geneft, Ambaflador from the Executive Council of that nation to the Piefi dent and Congress of the United States of America. April 10. Yetlerday commodore Gillon entertained M. Geneft, the French Ambafl'ador, with his suite, the officers of l'Embufcade, and a j)umber of French citizens, at his house in this city. The French frigate I'Embnfcade took one prize on her partage from France, namely, the brig Sally,from JQova Scoria to Barbadoes. The capture W3S made near Bermuda, but the prize has not yet arrived. We arc informed, that a detach ment of Britilh troops, amounting to oße hundred men, have just at - rived at Bermuda, a»id that an ad ditional reinforcement is expedited there—as an attack from a trench squadron wasfei ioufly apprehended. Monf. Genelt has favored us with the following important intelli gence, viz. That the National con vention, considering that timber, of the growth of the United States, proper for the building of tliips, is equal to any in the world, have lately'parted a decree, revoking, in favor of the United States, all the laws which heretofore have exilled in that country, with regard to the sale of foreign bottoms within the French ports ; so that American built vell'els sent thither, for (:ile, will in all probability meet with a very good market. April 13. We understand, that bis Excellency the Governor has giv en orders to have this harbor put into a temporary state of defence. Eight 18 pounders are to be lent down to Fort Johnftou —and some works are ordered to be thrown up on Shaote's Folly, where several beavy pieces of cannon are to be planted. The brig Morning Star, Capt.F ul larton, which was taken by the fri gate I'Embufcade, on the ioth inft. came into this port yelterday ; al so, the prize brig Four Brothers, of Nova Scotia. BOSTON, April 13. A'tH' THEATRE. On Tuesday evening, the friends of the Drama met, for the purpo e ol opening a fub fcr.ptiun to build an elegant houie fur Xhea- trical Exhibitions—w he rv the (harei were immediately filled. The number oi ftiares was 120 —at 501. a fliare ; —and no one was permitted to subscribe lor more than two iliares. We are told, that a very convenient fpotofland, in Federal-street, has been pur chased, by the Committee, and that mealures for building the house are in train. The new Bridge over Charles-River, is prosecuting with vigour. The workmen on this lide have commenced their labours, and from appearance will in a ftiort time complete their business.

April 16. NATURAL CURlObll Y. Extratt of a Utter from a gentleman living in the county of Otfego, New-York, to his jritnd in this county. u I was separate a few rods from my bro ther huntsmen, on the southeast fide of Scho hary mountain, which lies in the county oi Otfego, in the pursuit of game, on the 15th of December last. As I was walking through a thicket of oak buthes, where there was but little snow on the ground, I unexpe<stedly found myfelf falling into the earth. I drop ped my gun and endeavoured to save mylelf with my hands, but to no purpose. I went down a distance upwards of 63 feet, as was afterwards ascertained by measuring, without ! receiving any material injury, except bruiling j my elbows and thighs a little. I found myfelf in a cave upwards of 42 paces long, and about 20 wide. It was by mere accident my com panions dilcovered me; as all the noile I was capable of making, could not be heard at the distance of a rod from the mouth of the ca vity. My companions threw down one end of a rope to me—by making myfelf fact to It, I was, after much difficulty, drawn from the gioomy mansion. By the fame rope the three men who were with me, were let down, by turn, to view the cave. It was as smooth inside, as if it had been worked out by a ftone cutter —and at one corner there was a small spring of genuine cold sweet water, which gently empties itfelf out at the opposite cor ner. It is evident that some persons had been so unfortunate as to fall into this cave, and for want of afliftance, perish in it—as we found a number of human bones on the bot tom of the cave. The phi/ofophic mind may here find ample employment in tracing out the original cause of a curiosity like tjie pre sent. I think it exceeds every curiosity j which I ever was fpe&ator of, 111 the course I of my life." Philadelphia, April 24 By the Ship hdu/lry, Capt.

He left General Wimpfen in the com mand ol the city of Mentz, though it is report ed that a general attack is meditated by the Pruflian and Auilrian troops, who have block aded thu city for the lalt two months. But a circumstance of the most fatal afpeft to the F<ench conquests on that fide, is, that a letter was read in Convention on Tuesday the 12th, which ihews, that the National Gendarmes of Cuftine, desert every day to the enemy. Feb. 2! • General Biron is arrived at Nice. Pache, Racderer, and Roland, were candi dates for the Mayoralty of Paris, Pache cariied his eleflion by a considerable majority, and took the oaths accordingly.

The following is an ex tract of the Madrid Gazbtt» of the yh ifift. which officially notified the death of the King of Fk anc* : «' His Majesty has ordered the court to take mourning far three months from the 3d instant, on account of the death of his moll Chriftiar. Majesty, Louis the XVI. King ot France, who finifhed his career on the 2ill of January, with a heroism equal to his hard misfortune, and to the inhumanity of the hor rid and unheard of outrages committed a gainst his august person." London, Feb. It. Though France has not expressly declared war against Ruflia, hosti lities are not the less open ; for the circular letter of the minister of marine, sent to all the ports, carries an order to lay an embar go on all Ruffian vessels as well as others, and this order has been executed in the port ot Bourdeaux. Before the ill of March, the emperor and and the king of Prutlia, will have on foot 340.000 men, all distributed in different polls to ast against France. Feb. 23. We are glad to find that the fai lures in the city are not so considerable as re ported in yesterday's paper, and that one of the American houses which flopped payment a few days lmce, has been cuabled to go on with their ai rears. Feb. 24. The Dutch mail received yester day, brought advice ofa smart action between a detachment of Prussians, and a large part of the French army under general Ciiambo ran, before Venloo, but although attended with much fliughter, did not prove any wife decisive, each yarty claiming victory. The Prutlians retained the field. 375 ExtraS oj a Utter frem Norfolk, April i 4, <l We have an arrival from London infix weeks, the letters are not come up—l have feeo papers to the 25th of February. Spain has. declared war, and 3P TaiJ of the line were expe&ed to join the British and Dutch fleet, about the beginning of this month. It was said that all the veirels fitted out by France, as privateers, were taken as tliey appeared in the seas. We had a report that the queen of France, was tried, condemned and execu ted ; however, this seems premature, and without foundation." Captain Art, arrived last Saturday from Chariefton, was informed that the French had declared war against Ruflia. The frigate L'Embnfcade, after landing the Ambailador, Monf. Qeneft, continued opposite the bar for tWb «t"tVee # *day*, and then disappeared.-*- As the Delaware came out, the 1 ith instant, (he spoke a British brig from Halifax going into Chariefton, who informed Capt. Art that ftie was a prize to the, French frigate. The French AmbaiTador was to set out for Philadelphia, it was reported, on the 9th, but had not, however, departed, the day Capt. Art failed ; but that he would a&ually set out in a day or two, and his twe Secretaries would lhortly embark in the brig Aurora, Capt. Cross. The Ambaflador's suite, -carriage and fur niture was nQt ready in time for the Dela- ware. Innumerable reports are fabricated, and thrown into circulation at the present day.— Among others, that Lord Dorchester is ap- j appointed ambaflador to the United States; another, that he is coining to Philadelphia to deliver up our western polls.—lt is a fa<st, however, that a gentlenjan in this city, has a letter from one of Lord Dorchefler's suite, which fays, that he is going to Quebec the ensuing spring to relume, as supposed, the go* vernment of Canada. Extrbft of a letter from Birmingham. 44 is farTrom being in a state <A tranquility.—Party disputes and animosities run as high as ever ; and though proper ex ertions are made by many refpeftable indivi duals on both iides to calm the violence of the tide, it is expe&ed again to overflow its banks with many mischievous effe&s. 44 The great bone of contention and source of menace on one fide, and terror on the other, appears to be this Damages were granted:to those who were fufferers in the late and riots—these were to be rai sed by a kind of rate, levied, we believe, by the vestries of the different parishes.—This rate many individuals have absolutely refu fed to pay. This mud consequently give oc c all on for new trials, excite frefh animosi ties, and jeventually, it is to be feared, pro mote repeated and reciprocal atts of outrage- It is certainly a most critical period, and de mands the serious attention ot those who may be able to prev«nt the evils which are dread ed.

A pathetic admonition to the Roman Ca tholics of Ireland, from five catholic bishops then in Dublin, was read in all the chapels of • that city on the 26th of January last—in which the people of that pe suasion are ex horted to gratitude to the king, for recom mending his Roman Catholic fubjefts to the wifdorti and liberality of parliament.—The admonition expreflas the greatest detestation of the enormities committed in some couu - ties of the kingdom, by seditious and mis guided wretches of every leligious denomi nation, and conjures the people to avoid every appearance of riot. A remark has been made, that if Louis XVI. had been less just he might have been lets unfortunate —It is confirmed by every view of the fubjea.—lf to any party he had given himfelf up, he might have lived the No minal Ruler of a land governed by a Faaioii. The untiappy Louis was, like a Prince whole reign is'honored by the happy test of popular veneration, a model of Private, a • node! ef public virtue. No ene inordinate excefi can be recorded of him : L ke our own Charles be might cenjure his offspring to fay to the wife of his bosom, " that even in thought he had ever wronged her." Reli gion, it is well known, infufed a fortitude in . to hi* bread, that all the intolence of littla v'rila'tny could not discompose. His deport ment upon his Trial was dignified and firm. For his Family, as a man, it became hiin to fael—but fuifering a Martyrdom, he expired as a Martyr ; his thoughts were beyond hira -1 fclf. £»<§•• P"p- A correfpondsnt ohferves, that the general I sentiment of the sovereign people was never t perhaps more fully expretfed on any occasion, • ' than it is in the pro«lainatiou of the President of the United States- BY THE PRESIDENT of the United St aies of America A Proclamation WHEREAS it appears, that a state of war exists between Austria, Pruifia, Sardinia, G.
