" 1 wi(h the English knew the real state of France, they would then be convinced that though they may ruin themselves, they will never be able to subdue the spirit which is now afloat in this country. A njw species of fanaticifm fires everv ima gination and invigorates every man. There are ni'.ie hundred thousand men a&uallv jn arms, 1 ' and the whole kiogdbm 'is noit become a military (chool. The treasury overflows with money, and Ihoulcf it be exhausted, the rich will be forced to produce every farthing they pafieis, for this is the day of triumph to the poor. Of the prefcnt government I will not speak, there can be but one opini on of it: yet were the Englilh to make peace, it mull change, and the hand of death would be flopped within as well as without. I repeat it, my friend, all Eu rope, 1 have not learned to talk big here, will only render the enthusiasm more warm that carries every thing before it.

WE lose not a moment in communi cating to the Public the important and inteiefting intelligence we hare just re ceived of the Surrender of the Garrison of Pondicherry to the British Army, un der the command of Colonel Brathwaite. Our fourteen gun Battery to the north ward was opened at 7 o'clock on the morning of tire 2 2d, and in less than two hours the North, and North-East angles of the Fort were Completely silenced. The enemy being obliged to ma(k every era brafure—At noon the mortar battery was opened with so much judgment and elFeft, that the deftruftion mult have been very considerable, for at 4 o'clock P. M. flags of truce were displayed" from all pans of the Fort; and about j the Lieutenant Colonel of the French troops, with the town Major were eonda&cd to head-quar ters, deputed by the garrison to requeti that no further approaches, (hould be car ried on, and that a ceflation of arms might take place for 24 hours.

GENERAL ORDERS. Pondicherry, 23d August, 1793 Colonel Brathwaite hag the honor and happiness to announce to the gallant army under his command the news of the sur render of Pondicherry, on terms dictated by himlelf. Terms which he flatters him felf mud ever remain as a memorial to the French Nation that no superiority of force, no advantage of circumstances, no mifcon duft of an enemy will cause a Britilh eom mander to deviate from that humanity which is the diftinguiflied chara&eriftic of a brave nation. He has spared the whole of the property of individuals which the rigid laws of arms would have juftified him in treating otherwise. He has spared an enemy that continued to ast offeniively and definitively while unmoleftcd, but who funk under the firft impression of hit superior force, afkuated by the fame sen timents he has no doubt but the whole army under his Command will consider these infatuated and unfortunate prisoners entitled to their moll humane attention. It is not neceflary for him at this time to give so eminently distinguished an ar my any orders on this head. The Gene rals under whom they have served have taught them that an enemy conquered i» an enemy no more—and he is convinced that the Britilh troops about to garrison Pondicherry, as conquerors, and about to take charge of French prisoners, will convince both them and the inhabitants that they can be as orderly, generous, and humane, in the discharge of those duties, as they have been aitifc and brave in the duties of the trenches. To a chearful, unanimous and zealous perfeverance in their several duties, and to their established chara&er for Bravery, mull be attributed the success of the pre sent day—and their Commander will ever remember it with pleasure and gratitude. To thank corps or individuals in an ar my so fully entitled to his warmed thanks and approbation, cannot be attempted. He thanks and approves the whole with all his heart; and will not fail to speak these his sentiments to his superiors.
