"At Toulon they have taken the names of proprietors of houses which had afiiy;nnts, 'With a promise to reimburse them half, after the loan that is going to be opened at Genoa, at the fame time that this Republic will be required to de clare itlelf.

Afiignats do not pass there, except for bread, which is the only article at a price ; and, in spite of the publications, the bakers take them only because they are farced to do so ; their provisions are bacon and fait ir.eat. The burghers of the town have no fort of command. " A number of emigrants flock in dai ly ; but no Frenchmen are employed for the military service, but as it is absolutely necessary.

Here the reporter developed all the misfortunes which the Republic has fuf biined. He imputes them to the cowar dice and corruption of the commanders —the egotism and bad disposition of a great number of citizens—and the impu nity of *he towns of Longwy and Ver dun, which, said he, have occasioned the infamous red lift ion of Conde, Valen ciennes, and La Qiiefnoy.

OCTOSSS 26. A letter was read from General Car te;l u, commanding the aimy before Tou lon, dated October 17. The General announces, that the mo ment when the Republican army was re joicing at the taking of Lyons, the ene my presented themfelvcs in five columns, to the number of about 5000 men, to cut oft' the army in two points at once ; but that they had been repulsed with such vigor tliat they were obliged to fly fefter than they firlt advanced, with the loss of about 300 men either killed or wounded; our loss coniiils of 26 men (lightly wounded, and fix killed.

October 27, A deputation from the inKabitants of the department of La Vendee, returned thanks to the Ci>nventi6n for having re stored them to Liberty, by the defeat and difperlion of the horde of rebellious roy aliits, who for three years had convulsed the department, and desolated the country with fire and sword. LONDON, Oa. 17, The republic of Genoa have ap pointed the Marquis of Spinola to be their Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Ex traordinary at the Court of London. M. de Spinola is well known to England by his talents, and mult be acceptable to his Majesty by his political principles. He was Minister in France, and has resided in London ever I: nee the revolution of the loth of August 1792. The republic of Genoa is r.s much pressed as ail the other states by the allies, and chiefly by England, to put an end to its neutrality,and to declare againll France —Nothing can bemore impoliticthau this measure, and nothing more unjust. The Genoese have so much property in France, that to depart from their neutra lity would be ruin to all their principal ci tizens, and yet this consideration did not operate on them to lean towards the French, even at the time when they were every where triumphant, and when they made all Italy tremble. Even, at that moment, they denied a paflage to the French troops, to attack their own natu ral enemy, the King of Sardinia. For getful of this fact, however, they are now to be bullied into the war, and of course to be made partakers in the cala mity, which it brings on all who are en gaged in it. The new Doge of Genoa is Joseph Doria, the nephew of M. de Spinola,who has reluctantly taken upon him the digni ty. He is one of the inoft conliderable men in the Republic, by his talents as well as hereditary diftin&ion, and his be ing forced to accept the office, is a proof how much they are pressed by the allied powers. A letter from Marseilles, dated Sept. ig, fays, that the French before Toulon have got polTeffionof the fort of Ardenne, cut off a stream of fre(h water that sup plied the tows, and were preparing to at tack the Pharon. TheDeyof Algiers'has declared war againfl the French, but in the mod vo luntary and disinterested manner. What ever rumour may fay to the contrary, he has neither been bullied nor fubfiaized by the British ministry. On the 14th of July last, a convention confiding of five articles, was signed at the camp before Mayence, by the Earl of Yarmouth and the Marquis de Lucchefmi on the part of their Britannic and Prussi an Majesties, to the following effeil. " As the object of the war is to bring about such a form ofgovernment in France as (hall ensure security and tranquillity to Europe, the contracting parties bind themselves not to lay down their arms but ky common consent ; and not until resti tution is obtained for any depredation which France may have made upon either of the said parties, or on their friends or allies, and not to permit the importation of any military or naval (lores,corn,grain, or fait meat,or provisions ; and to employ all their means to injure the commerce of France ; and also to prevent any neutral fta'c from giving any proteftion,direftly, or indirectly, to the French." From the London Gazette. WHITEHALL, Nov. 2. By intelligence received frpm the Earl of Yarmouth, dated Brumpt, Austrian Head Quarters, 0&. 24, it appears that on the morning of the 17th, Gen.Wurm fer having received information that Ha guenau had surrendered to the advanced corps under Gen. Mageroes, he immedi ately put the bulk of his army into moti on, and arrived the're that night, a few hours before it had been evacuated by the enemy, who had made so precipitate a retreat, as to neglect breaking down the wooden bridges over which the artillery was to pass. That on the 18th, the French encamped 011 the rightbank of the Zorn, a small river which rails through Brumpt; but on perceiving some inter val between Gen. Mageroe'sadvanced corps consisting of about 6000 men, and the other columns of the army, they crossed the river, and attacked him with their whole force, in the evident expeftationof turning his flank, and cutting him oft from the reft of the army. The action lasted 7 hours, but upon perceiving the reft of the Austrian army move forward, the French recrofTed the river, and evacuated the heights and town of Brumpt,of,which the Auftrians took pofleffion. The loss on the part of the French, is eflimated at 8.00 men, and that of the Auftrians, nearly half the number, in killed and wounded. That the Prince of Waldeck had advauced with his troops from Soltk, and marched along the banks of the Rhine —That he had compelled the furrendcr of Drugenheim, and after having driven the garrison of fort Louis, with some loss had invested the place. That in the course of the night, the French had a bandoned their former position on the Zorn, and retreated under the cannon of Strafburg. That Gen. Wurmfer was at the distance of nine English miles from that place. In addition to the nccountsnlready puh liihed.of the forcing of the lines of Weif fembourg and Lauterbourg, it appears, that the Austrian army had between feten and eight hundred men killed and wound ed, and that the loss of the French con fided of between 3 and 4000 killed .from j to 600 prisoners, and 26 pieces of can non, with their ammunition waggons and horses. The retreat of the French on this occasion was greatly favored by a thick fog. November 4. Bulletin of the Combined Armies, at the Head Quarters at Bavay, Oft. 21 The enemy have attacked the polls of Maucron, Romain, Orchies, Marchien nes, and Denain, and marched in strong columns and with a numerous artillery, towards all these places, but they were e very where repull'ed, except at Marchien nes, where through their great superiori ty they succeeded in repulsing the battali on. of Kaunitz who defended this poll Our loss in these affairs is very trifling.— That of the enemy must be considerable, since near Denain alone they have loft a bove6oo men. Prisoners made are acap tain, J lieutenants, and 55 soldiers. The enemy were 10,000 strong ; they have carried along with them 800 wound ed. Our loss is very immaterial. Our whole loss near Maubeuge, a mounts in killed to 8 officers, 12 non commissioned officers, 389 soldiers, 143 horses. Miffing and prisoners, 2 officers, 3 non-commiflioned officers, 267 privates, 25 horses. Besides the adjutant Of lieutenant co lonel Count Tavenfien, firft lieutenant Baron Dornftein, has been killed by a cannon ball, by the fide of field marshal Cobourg. The loss of the enemy, according to all reports, mult amount to 8000 men : near 300 men have been made prisoners. We hate loft neither cannon, ammuniti on, waggons, or baggage. On the 22d the enemy made a very bride attack near Menin and Orchies ; a corps of the enemy of 6000 men, with 20 pieces of cannon, attacked our right wing, near Cifoing, which fell back to Templeneuve, in order to draw the ene my into the plain : Major-General Boros, who was at this latter post, made the best dispositions to receive the enemy ; Col. Count Kollovrath attacked them with the infantry, fupportcd by artillery, aiid broke their ranks. Major Wofna, of Efterhazy huflars, attacked at the fame time in front and in Karaczy's light herfe chargcd rear. likewise ; and the remainder of our troops, as well as a detachment of Eng liih and Hanoverian cavalry, having ad vanced in the interim, the enemy were compleatly routed, with the loss of 400 killed on the field of battle and 100 pri soners. Our loss is of no confequencc, b it we have to regret the brave captain Fabien, killed with a cannon ball. November 5, A letter of which the following is an extract, was last night received from Sir James Murray, A. D. to the forces un der the command of his royal highness the Duke of York, dated Camphm, No vember 1. " Some of the light troops made yes terday an attack on the French post at Ors, and Catilion-fur-Sambre, in which with very little loss, they killed near 400 of the enemy, took about 100 prisoners, and two pieces of cannon." CONGRESS. House of Representatives. January 17. In committee of the whole, on the report of the Secretary of State, relative to the com mercial intercourse of this country, with so- reign nations. Mr. Findley next rose He suggested a diffidence in riftng on the fubjeft, as it required a knowledge of circumftancea and fatts which seldom came under his consideration ; but having exa mined the cafe with fufficient attention to determine his vote, as no member claimed the floor, he would offer some of those rea sons which were convincing to himfelf. He took notice of the member lalt up, who aflerted that the additional duties pro pof:d were not intended for prote&ing manufacturer, nor as additional revenues, but as bounties to the nations with which we have commercial treaties. That no o ther nation could furnifh us with fufficien cy of goods, and who then aficed in what manner we will raifc our revenues ? To which he answered ; th:it the poll* t'cal intention of the lefolution was to se cure our independence as a commercial na tion, and to make it the intcreft of certain European nations to enter into commerci al treaties with us ; they have refufed to treat because they enjoy more advantages without treaties than they could expe£t a ny treaties could feeure to them. He iil ledged it was not properly a commercial war, or a principle of revenge or retaliati on that was intended by the resolutions. Revenge for supposed insults offered to the crown, may be the principle of the duel ling wars undertaken by European des pots, but fuc'n principles arc inadmiflihle in republican politics. The design of the proposed measure is to procure a recipro city of advantages in commerce without war ; it is calculated to procure justice, to secure the practical enjoyment of that in dependence, which though we have esta blished after an arduous contest, we have not reaped the advantages which ought to have resulted from it, nor put ourselves in a capacity to protest it. The firft attempt to revise the confe deration was expressly within the design of verting Congrefi with fufficient powers for rendering our commerce more independ ent. When the revision of the government did take place, this was a principal object both in the enlargement of the powers, and regulating the forms of the government. The gentleman from Virginia, (Mr. M.) has explained the reasons why filch measures were not more early adopted, and has properly suggested that those reasons no longer exist. The proposed reflrl&ions are necefTary torail'e a competition in European markets, and gave an option to our merchants in dif ferent nations. Though the afTortment for some time might not be so genera! in other countries as Britain, yet certainly much of the neceflary supplies, such as li nens and woolens have been got on as good terms in France as in England, and have been in quantity more than equal to the demand. By depending on one nation for our whole supplies, fubjetts us too much to the caprice and the fate of that nation. Suppcfing that nation to be at war with ourfeives or our allies, we must be much embarrassed in our supplies, and will find it difficult to find goods from nations who had not provided for our demands. Sup posing a state of bankruotcy or infurreftion to take j,lace in the nation on which we
