Ms.. FtMNO,
THE cncreaftng trade of this city
induces me to make some obferrations,
which may be' worthy the attenrion of
'! the public, psrticularly the mercantile
■' part of the community.
The idand oppolite to part of tfce
harbour has by long experience been
"" totind a great barrier to it, covering
and flickering the (hipping from esllet
)y galea, in projiortiou to its length.
It ii too evident to require an expla
nation how much fafer veflelj lie, when
under this cov.t, to what they do when
■e e pofiJ to the whole scope of the river,
hence it becomes an objeit of import
ance to attend to the security of that
island and bar. I believe not many of
the inhabitants are apprized of the dan
-1 - ger there is of a great diminution, if
' not of an entire deprivation of this spa
rs cious cover to our valuable harbour.
[. . I have taken notice of its alterations
i and changes for these forty years, in
is which time it has undergone several,
u both as to increase and diminution—
e from which circumflance the like isex
pededin future.
k 1 have, hpwever, seen no appearance
,jot its lengthening for many years. The
il lower end has never been so short,
s, within my memory, as at present.—
With regard to the upper end, altho'
1 j I remember when the reed did not grow
, as for up as at present ; yet the bar was
broader and extended much farther up,
l" and lam told has been much more co-
F * vered with reed prior to my memory
than at any time since.
But now a conllant decrease has con
tinued for 12 or 15 years at lead j and
this must certainly be owing to the ex
tension of wharves is well above and be
low the city as within it; as the dimi
nution of the island corresponds with
, the course of their encroachments on
river. Water will have a paflage,
jj and if obstructed in one place, it will
y immediately find another course. Thus
is the waters, that used to flow where the
U wharves now are, press on the island and
1 bar with a greater increase of force,
a which, being composed of a loose sandy
loom, easily give way to the pressure of
the current, and the beating of the
waves in windy seasons.
It therefore becomes neceflary that
y 'h £ ends (hould be guarded, which will
be a mean of pr«ferving the length that
is every day decreasing.
While I am upon thisfubjeft, it may
not be amiss to mention that by proper
ly improving the fide next the river, a
fafe aflylum may be obtained for vessel*
during the winter ; as well as a place for
? veflels that arc not immediately loading
ot discharging. This improvement will
need the Legiflativc aid—l think it
therefore a proper season to offer these
remarks to the public, in hopes, some a
ble ha id may be induced to take ud the
A fubjefi.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sejfton of the 19 . Vendemiaire [08. 10.
Thurior, in the name of the Com- 1
mittee of Public Welfare
Representatives of the people; by
adopting unanimously yeflerday an ad
dress which explains the principles im- ;
prcfled on all virtuous minds, you have 1
I given a terrible firoke to all intriguers,
villains, and particularly to all those
pretended patriots, who plan in feciet
the ruiiiof th'cir country.
WEZEL, October 7.
Wc have received accounts that the
bombs thrown by the French-into Duf
feldorp, from the other lide of the:
: Rhine, have set fire to several parts of
the town ; the imperial stables, the ho
tel of Couftole and the imperial poft
honfe are already burnt down ; tb e
great tower is not only burnt but has
fallen in, and by its fall done much da
mage. Tire potl and couriers which
went to that place from hence are come
back again. When the post set out
the castle was in flame*.
BRUSSELS, October 4.
The works before Bois-le-Duc ad
vance with such rapidity, that the fe
• cond paiallel is already entirely si, ifhed,
not \vith (landing the violent fire which
■ the besieged keep up from the walls of
the place. The principal strength o:
Bois-le-Duc confiiU in the marihes and
inundations wherewith this city is sur
rounded, but the capture of fort Creve
cceur has given the republicans the
means to draw off these waters by ditch
es made for that purpose.
It fecms that the Duke of York and
the hereditary Prince of Oran ? e, war
riors, wh« notwithstanding their youth,
have rendered their names famous by the
mod brilliant exploits, it seems, I fay,
that these heroes will make some ventu
rous attempt to try tofave Bois-le-Duc,
for this purpose all the Euglifli, Dutch,
Hefiian and Hanoverta* troops, hither
to divided into different corps join
ed between Houfden pnd Gertruyden
berg. But General Pichegru who saw
through the intention of the enemy,
has taken an excellent position, between
the combined ermy and Boii-le-Duc, by
means whereof the siege of that place
is continued with fafety.
The day before yesterday the enemy
attempted a general reconnoitering of
the army of observation, but this turn
ed out unfortunate enough for them,
for they were not only repulsed but a
party of the Huflars of the Princess of
Orange, were cut to pieces by the Re
publican cavalry. The city of Breda is
only closely surrounded.
The bombardment of Maeftricht is
continuad with the greatefl vivacity ; it
rains bombs and red hot balls in that ci
ty, which will very soon be nothing but
a heap of ashes and ruins, unless they
capitulate very soon. The besiegers are
preparing to make a strong art.ck en
Port St. Pierre the ftrbngeft bulwark of
Maeftricht.
PARIS Oft. ti.
Brux tiles OS. 6.
The vi&ery over the Auftrians before
Juliers and the Roer is a very important
one. Asa consequence of it the city
and citadel of Juliers surrendered with
an immense artillcty and warlike ammu
nition ps all kinds. The Repuhlican
army pursues closely the Auftrians who
fall back precipitately on Berghen, and
thence on Cologne. The greater part
of the French cavalry is on the heels of
the enemiy's rear guard, harrafs them
continually and has made a great num
ber of prisoners.
As to the siege of Maeftricht, the
works for the conftru&ion of entrench
ments and batteries are carried on with
all poflible rapidity. The garrison ps
that place made a vigorous faliy the day
before yesterday, I'a number about 4OCO
but after a very bloody action' they were
driven back with much loft.
The works^before Bois-le-Diic have
been puftied forward with such rapidity
notwithstanding the difficulties which
the nature of the ground presented that
a number of batteries are there perfect
ed, and have already injured some of
external works of the place, while the
bombardment destroys the interior.
That night there pasted here a consi
derable con voy of warlike ammunition
confiding of upwards of 200 carriages
loaded withbombs, bullets, powder &c.
Half for the siege of Maeftricht, and
half for that of Bois-.e-Duc.
The desertion is on its height in the
Austrian army ; even old Hungarian
Grenadiers, drfert their Colours to
come here, a thing hardly ever known
before.
Military Operations since the laling of
Julicrtj;
fFrom the report ofThuriotto the
Convention]
The army of t Sambre and Meufe left
the banks of the Roer to reap the fruits
of the victory or Juliers. Divided into
three columns, one marched upon Bonn
the other on DufteldorfT and the third
upon Cologne. Hr viag driven in the
advanced polls of the enemy, the re
publicans have opened the trenches be
foreDufleldorff, and have thrown ia
some (hells ; the city i« ou lire.
Tlitf Fiench army is in pcflVflion of
Cologne ; we have found in it » nume
rous ?rtillcry an arsenal faidto be the
belt furnifhed of any in Europe, and
immense magazines.
Th is oar ohy;ft is fulfilled : the ene
my is obliged to cross the Rhine and to
abandon the moll advantageous positions
for winter quaaters.
What has happened at Cologne. is an
nconteftible proof that all the people
abhor the yoke of defpoiifm and that
it is jult to separate their cause from
that of kings. The inhabitants of Co
logne received our republican soldiers
with the liveliest expreflions of admira
tion andjoy, it appeared as if they »ifh
ed to be aftociatcs <31 their glory.
This great example will encourage
the people to demand an account of the
blood shed in the cause of tyranny and
will give energy to those who are friends
to principles* Let the National Con
vention remain firm and the enemies of
the Republic will be annihilated.

L Hoche commander of the army of the
coafl of Cherbourg announces that he has
received from the hands of the august vic
tims of the madness of the kings the stan
dard, a sacred deposit of national grati
tude. " This flandard, fays he, piaced
henceforth at the head of our battalions
will redouble our martial ardor and its
fight while it (hall encourage us will strike
the enemy with terror.
General Jordan announces the receipt
of the flandard sent to the army of the
Sambre and Meufe. , " We are very sen
sible of the gift ; and it imposes on us the
obligation to do more than we have yet
done. This flandard shall be our rallying
point, and will strike terror in the ranks
of our enemies- We all swear to defend
the Republic or die."
Tt.c letters of those "two generals were or
