Captain Manly, of the Syren frigate,

were totally driven from every of the
United Provinces; in confequcnce of
which all the Britiih troops were proceed

that no naval aid being necelfary on the

*» majesty's (hips from thence ; the gun
boats had been all orevioufly laid up io
the arsenal of Rotterdam before he left
h'is (hip.
All the letters brought by the Dutch and
Flanders mails yesterday confirm the accounts
of the declaration of General Dumourier in
lavor of monarchy, and his being on his march
tO . P ! r^ to topport tfrfre-rfftabliftiment of a
regal government in France. The fame let
ten mention'other defeats of the French be
fore Merrtz and at Nitaa. In fliort, the late
twiverfal defeat of the French seems, if p„r.
fible, more rapid than their former iucceiles ;
and the decided part taken by their command,
er in chief, added to the vigorous proceedings
of the Couoter-Revolutionifts in France, ap
pear more likely to be the means of re-efla
bjifhing a permanent form of government in
(hit country.
Ge ieral Dumourier certainly marched on
the 3d for Pars, with the avowed intention
at restoring the Monarchy of France. He
was joined 0.1 hh march bv numbers of peo
ple, who, shocked with the iniquitous mur.
der of Louis the Sixteenth, were now happy
in an opportunity of declaring their fenri
ments.
Previous to Dumourier's quitting Lisle, he
put a white cockade into his hat, and all tho
army fillowed his example, a; fad as ribbons
could be procured f»r them. We nnderftard
that the white flag is flying on the tower of
the garrison at Lisle, in which Dumourier left
a garrison on whom be couy depend.

France, it appears that the general body of
the people on the sea coasts adjacent to Flan

CHARLESTON, (S. C.) May 13.
Yesterday evening a gentleman arrived
here from in Georgia, who informs
ns. that fix of tile Creek towns, with a number
of Cherokee*, had declared war against the
United States, and were actually marching
under the command of Bowles and Galptiin,
to attack the frontiers.
An Angnfta jjaper contains the following
intelligence : Augusta, M;i; 4.
We have it now in Our* power, tram the best
authority, to give the following melancholy
particulars to the public, attending the ,mur
d?r of the family 011 the Oconee river, on the
23d ultimo.
The Indians, 37 in number, came to the
house of a Mr. Richard Threlher, and fired
upon and killed Mr. Threlher, two children
and a negro woman ; Mrs.Threflier to avoid,
if pnflihle, the fate with which she was threat
ened, fk-d, with an infant of about 5 or 6
weeks old in her arms, and leaped into the
river—the Indians pursued, (hot her through
each thigh and rigfit breast, dabbed her irt the
left breast with a knife, cut her left arm near
ly off,and then scalped her. In this horrid
fitpatinn (he remained until the neighbours
could aflimble in fufljeient numbers to cross
the river and purine the jndians. As the
i;rft canoe was crossing flie had ftrengthenough
to call for affiflance, they went, found her
hanging by a bush in water nearly up to the
chin, her infant at the bottom of the liver a
fewyards from tier—flie lived nearly 24 hours,
and when informed by her physician that it
was impoflilile for her to furvivesmich longer,
she with a fortitude, that is rarely to be met
with, called her friends around her, and in a
Calm but pathetic manner, gave her hand to
each one, wishing them a better fate than
had befallen herfelf and family ; and when af
ter her speech failed, as neighbours werecon
ftantly coming in, (he continued to give her
hand, until about five minutes before she re
signed he' breath, which was without a groan.
Mrs. Threlher was about 25 years of age,
of a relpeftable family, an elegant person.and
polfeffed an uncommon education.
On Thnrfday the 24th ult. two men were
killed in Franklin, 40 horses carried off; and
since the accounts publiihed in our last, all the
inhabitants on the frontiers have retreated
into forts, without arms or ammunition. At
one meeting of near 40 persons, they could
only muster five old muikets t to heighten she
horror of their condition, the Indiaus were
momently expe&ed.

" We feel how elfential it-is, that the Uni
ted States, irtfefled as they are by emigrants
from St. Domingo, should learn the truth of
events thro' the agents of the Republic.
" From the month of January last a new
coalition formed between the chiefs of the
Roya lifts, and of the Rebels, excited for
some time past by the Englito government,
menaccd the interests of the metropolis
Their activity was fucli, that if our preence
in the western province 'iad been delayed ano
ther month, it would have been extremely
dilficult to remedy the evil.
il An army" obtained by the Governor in
chief, Lafalle, encamped at a league's distance
from Port-4u-Prince, on the 9th of April.
We were in, the harbor with a 74 gun fhipand
two frigates. The gates were fbut and ad.
mittance jefufed to the armies of the Repub
lic ; furnacestyeVe erected in the forts to !ie?t
the* balls warn; to be fired on our vejfels.
Having information of the declaration of war
with England, we could not temporize. We
fumnioned the Municipality to receive the
army, the general and us. The rebels re
futed. Having used eve 17 lenient means,
promised fafety and liberty to the friends of
the Republic, granted adelayof24hoursupon
the requelt of some deputies from the town—
a delay which was misused in endeavoring to
corrupt the crew, we gave orders to the (hip
and li igates to fire on the forts. This was
the 12th of April, at fix in the morning ; our
fire was an(V?ved by bombs and red hot lhot.
u The cmiteft lasted fix hours, and only
ceased when we succeeded in silencing the fire
from the town. On the 13th we received a
deputation, who alked another delay
the good citizens time to assemble. We grant
ed it with pleasure, and we received at the
fame time the women and children who were
flying from the town.
" Next day the general was quiet'y re
ceived at the head of his army. We landed
and ordered a number of rebels to be arretted.
The principal chiefs, Borel at their head, had
flown. The fire from the town only killed us
two ijKMiJfttfcv-taflr of the rebel* amounts to
30 at mod ; but what is remarkable is, tbat
our Ihot feeraed to iiugle out tlie mot turbu
lent among thenii such as Borel's nephew,
and 3 or 4 public aiFaffins, known throughout
the ifla/id.
" This day every thing is perfe&ly quiet,
and we h pe that interna! peace will conti
nue, notwithstanding the machinations and
agitations of of France.
" Tell Free Americans, and the Friends of
the Republic, that the colony has at length
fouDd leveFf executors of the laws ; that we
have put to flight the enemies of France—
enemies so much the more dangerous, as un
der the malk of the National Colours, they
made war upon their mother country with its
own weapons. Tell them, that these pre
tended patriots, Borel still at their head, have
just giveji a last proof of their attachment to
the interests of the mother country, by flying
to Jamaica, and throwing themselves into the
arms of the Englifli."
