Hie alarming accounts follow one another here with such rapidity, that we hardly e*er enjoy any repose for two days; iiiccefllveiy. General Clairfait hairing retreated from Deynfe to Ghent; and efJabSiftied his head quarters there on the 23d, was attacked there the next afternoon at 2 o'clock by the French, who had followed him closely ; after having driven back a flrong corps of Hanoverians, polled there for the defence of the canal of Bruges ; but Gen. Clairfait detached a corps of cavalry, which arrived in the moment when the French were about forcing their way into the > city thro' the gate of Bruges, and made a terrible carnage aßto3g!k them. In the evenl ng the French were driven two leagues the other fide of Ghent, and it is even reported that Clairfait has refumcd his former position at Deynfe. 111 the mean while, at It ait one iotirlh of the inha bitants of Ghent have fled in the utmoll condition. When the news arrived here that the enejny weie at the gates of Ghent the emigration retcromeneed ftrdnger than ever; they continue tfo pack up the eSeSs of the court, aod govern meat will in all probability remove to day.

From the fliort account t't the Prince of Cobourg of this affair whrih is arrived and ha» been published here, it appears "that Charleroi had been obliged already to surrender to the French, an account of their supe rior fontr, and that the rombined forces bad hjif thereby about 1500 men,, but no artillery; but the French loft oiie hoveitzauri one standard ; and that the DrtKj'yt of the combined army was made in tW bell order as far as Mot bais, where, they their ni-ht qnarterson the 26th and from whence they were to march the next cjoi tiing for Nivelles, in order j to cover the country as much as possible andtoiiipport Namur.

This Society disapprove the eoni duel of their fellow citizens of the wes tern part of Pennsylvania, in refjfting with arms and violence, the execution of a constitutional law, which however odious had been enacted by a majority of the representatives of the people ; because we conceive that a recourse to arms ihould only be the last resort in those melancholy times when the me moriak ir.d remouftrances of a majority -1 of the people have proved Ineffectual or been'treated with contempt, 3. 'It is alio theopinion us this Society, that every lenient and conciliate)y mea sure covilillent with the welfaieof the United States, Ihould be used with ouf j ' weitern brethren before resort is .iad to - | that molt dreadful of all alternatives 1 ; which can never be juftihed but from • principles of imperious aud urgent n? c ef. iity—'that of lpilling the blood of the } citizens by the hands of each other, an _ alternative that must endanger the ex igence of all good governments and be. pleating to kings and tyrants only. 4. rii« Society molt, highly approve of the piucjent measure adopted by the ; Executiveof Pennsylvania, in appointing ' persons to confer with our fellowcitizens ' of Pittfburg, looping that by theii timely intervention all dilquietudcs may be re > moved from the minds of our weitern ; brethren, and general harmony fully and firmly rc-eitabli(hed. 5. It is the decided opinion of this i Society, that the mode of collecting pub ! j lie revenues by means of excise is op I ■ preffive and dangerous to civil liberty, because among a number of evils the) are partial in their operation and pro ductive of innumerab e vexations, op preffions and acts of violence in then collection—bscaufe they havegeneralK been deltcuctive to the internal trai/quili ty of those communities in which they have been eftablilhed—becaufe they cre ate a dangerous and pernicious influence in government by unneceffariiy increaf nig the number of its offlceis and lubor dinate dependents—because they tend to alienate the affeftjor.s .of the people from the government, and to excite those alarming jealousieS and diffentions which can only end in oppofitiori and reliitance 011 the one part and violence and op pression on the other— and la'ltly, be cause in these United States we' have every reason to believe they aie imme diately contrary to the wiihes of the people whose authority in every free country only can be supreme. And this Society while they pledge themfelvesto use their unremitted exertions by every constitutional mean in their power to ob tain a repeal of those " immoral, op pressive and expensive laws," do moil earnestly recommend to their western brethren, an immediate and unanimous return to that (fate of orderand tranqui lity which it s the duty of all good ci tizens topreferve.

An Austrian officer is just returned from the frontiers of Poland, where he had'been sent to save some of our boats 011 the Vistula loaded with corn, which Shad nearly fallen a prey to the Ruffian vengeance, mistaking them for the Po liffi. This officer was almost an eye ;witnefs of the battle which happened 011 the 6th inllant, between the com bined Ruffian and Prussian ,atmies, and the Poles. It seems that the intention of the Polish general was to attack the Ruffian corps tinder Denifow, about eleven thousand strong, besides the Cos sacks, before their junction with the Prussians, but his plan failed ; as on the sth, the Ruffians had effedted their junc tion with the Prussian army, confiding of near twenty thousand men, command ed by the King in person. The Poles Ivad then no alternative, but to change their plan into a deTenfive one, and ex pecting to be attacked by an enemy of far fupeiior force they prepared to re ceive him. The position for their army was matterly chosen, and all the villages in flank weie guarded by small detach ments and field pieces. The combined armies began the attack at eight in- the morning : the Poles defended themfelvt s with courage without kifi'ng an inch of ground, and even the peasants with pikes, dared to advance withis.fif teen yards of the Prussian batteries. 1 he battle was obstinate and bloody' till about tifvo o'clock ; when th? Piuffians, after repeated attacks, fuceeeded to drive the Polish detachment, with four field pieces, from a tillage,' where they established immediately a battery, which annoyed so much the fiaiikj of (he Po lish army, that they gave way and be gan about three o'clock to retreat, ; leaving some canjioos dismounted.

" Here on board," was the reply. " Take immediate pafMlion, then, of the ship,'' said Sir Roger Curtis.—- " that is impoflible," rejoined Captain Towbridgej " for I am only a fpedlator hereon my parole of honor."
