Citi zens, said he, you have heard with rap ture the successes at Toulon, you will learn with courage the check we have re ceived at Perpignan. If the Mediterra nean is free, and the Eaittrn Pyrenees are still in (lavery, it is in the midil of vicissi tudes that Republican minds receive a double temper and life with renovated vi- gour. The courage of a chofcn body of our troops had retaken Villelongue, but new treachery has surrendered places in the de partment of the Eastern Pyrenees. Per pignan is threatened. The treacherous commander Datfaux surrendered the fort St; Elme, after having fired on our troops with cafe (hot. Thus the most ignorant of all the fuldiers of Europe, the moll luperilitious people in the world, have a- Jone obtained any success on the foil of li berty ; but orders are already given, eve ry thing is at this moment changed, re prcfentatives, generals, etat-major, troops, all is regenerated : The iron of France will overcome the gold of Mexico ; and the (laves of Madrid will soon (brink from the presence of the conquerors of Toulon. If the Vendee i« deitroyed, as I have confirmed to you by the report of the Re presentatives of the people and generals. If the interior parts ot the Republic are fhortlv to be entirely eleanfed from the filth of Royalifm and purged from thecoun ter-revolntionary leaven, wha thavc we to fear ? A formidable army is about to ap pear at the foot of the Eastern Pyrenees. We hourly expe£t happy tidings from the Rhine. The North will feel our strength in its turn, and the eoafts will be preserved. Barrere then communicated the letters of the General division d'Aout, of Boif fet, and of the representatives of the peo ple at eastern Pyrenees. They inform that Bagnols, port Vendre, Callioure are in the hands of the Spaniards. The forts have been surrendered: The army is en tirely routed : It is fulpe&ed that some persons are highly criminal. It is not known what has become of Fabre, and Gallon is blocked up in Perpignan. Thegreateft expedition has been used in putting Aignes-mortes, Cette and Agde in a Hate of defence. BRUSSELS, Dec. 31. Exttaft of an authentic letter. It is utterly in vain for the Emperor to trust to the resources of his own dominions, for they are exhausted, and unless he is coun tenanced in making a loan in England, his efforts mud be feeble. The King of Prussia does not disguise his meaning. He eith r is, or effedls to be poor, and he fays explicitly that he must be subsidized : and we are given to understand that the Britiih Ministers are resolved to go on, and that a treaty for fnbfi dizing Pruflia is actually in negociation. Ot the events which have palled in France we have the molt affli&ing accounts. No thing' can refill the impetuosity of the Re publicans. Every where they have been fuc cefcful. We cannot give you a perfedt idea of the gloom that has ovcrlpread this place | by the news from Toulon, and no less dis astrous accounts from the Rhine. No less than 30,000 men of the combined armies of Europe have fallen within the last fortnight. Not less than 50,000 fouls in all have within the last fourteen days of this diftafterous year perished, and so far has this butcher)' been from promoting the objetf s of the war, that it has aknoft to a certainty secured the tri umph of Republican!fin in France. We are difgraceful'.y expelled from the Mediterrane an frontier ; and letters from the Rhine fay, that .after the fatal 24th, Wurmfer had rc folved, by a Council of War to try the iflhe of only one more attack, to retrograde with all the force, and to resume the strong por tion at Weiflembourg, here to make his last delperate stand. On the 24th, according to daily custom, he was attacked by 30,000 Frenchmen, though he had been reinforced by the troops of the Palatinate and by the Prince de Conde, and fought the whole day with his usual courage and obstinacy, his line was broken. His left wing in part composed by the troops of the Palatinate, was by the enemy, charged, and routed towards the evening; and nothing but the night saved them from total ruin. Their loss was con siderable. The Emigrants alio left 500 on the field—and the whole army is so extenu ated, and reduced by those daily attacks, so harraifing as well as so murderous, that we have loft all hopes of the capture of Landau, or of being able to continue in France. PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 25. The following re&liition in fnbftance parted the House of Representatives of the United States this day: By a very gre.it majority — viz. Resolved, by the Senate and I louse of Re presentatives, (the Senate agreeing thereto,) that all trade be prohibited l'rom the Unked States, to any foreign port or p'acej for a terra net exceedii g .nifty days j and that tiie President of the United States be authorized and empowered, to give the necessary direc tions to the Officers of thejlevcnne, to car ry this resolution into effeiS. A meflage was received by the House of Representatives from the Prelident of the United States, communicating two letters from Mr. Skipwith, consul of the United States at St. Euitatia, exhibiting a detail of the depredations and fpoliatior.s of the Bri tifli cruisers on the commerce auJ navigation of the United States—lt appears from these letters, that nearly 130 American velt'els have been condemned in the Britilh Illanas, The meflage and letters, on motion of Mr. Sedg wick,, were referred to a (elect committee, to conlider and report thereon, particularly with refpedl to providing the means for dif cha'rging the expences incurred by Mr. Skip with, in supporting a large number of Ame rican captains and seamen who have loft their vefiels, and furnifliing them with the means of returning to their own country.

Gentlemen, We perceive by an advertisement in to day's newspaper, that the citizens of Phila delphia contemplate the cftablifhment "of a fund to relieve and redeem our brethren who languilh in captivity at Algiers.

S I R, WE, the subscribers, exhausted by dai ly application! on the iuhjedt of our fitna tions, and finding not only otn future pvofpefts defeated, but extreme misery ftaiing us in the fkce—we do now, All of us, call upon you as our organ to speak through, to demand of the Representa tives of the people, whether we are to be couiidcrcd as friends or enemies: if the former, you are then to claim the fulfil ment of the treaties existing between the two Republics—if the latter, you will thou demand a futficient number of ships to carry us and our people home, and we will without delay, abandon our veflels and p opeities, and seek that jultice from our own government, which is denied u> here. We also obforvt(witli aikunilhment, that partialities are going forward, and that particular interests are gratified without a ny reason forfo doing, that will bear day light. Sir, it is your duty, asCohfulof the United States, and it is becoming you as a man, to look into these transactions, and if the representatives have been de ceived, to set them right; for it is obvious to all of us, that since their arrival, the eld regime has been overthrown, which dealt out jobbj and favors to particular in. dividuals at the expence of the many; and as Americans, we are all equal, and there ought to be no preferei ce. We make not these observations from jealousy against our fellow-citizens who have got away and are now going; but for the lake of truth and juflice, which it is your duty to do us, and your duty to the repiVentatives to make known. And we further add, Sir, that your personal character will be implicated, if you do not fulfil our wiflieson this head. [Signed}>y Thirtj-Seven.~\ Bourdeaux, Dcc. 27, I 793. To all the Captains, and other Americans at Bourdeaux Gentlemen, I have received your letter of this inft. and note your remonstrances.

If the measures we have hereto fore pursued, have not been produ&ive of that jullice we, as friends to the French nation, ire entitled to, I have done my duty, and not neglected the important in terelt my country has placed under my care, which my correfpondeiice will clear ly manifeft j and as to you, gentlemen, I am equally allured, that your general conduct has been such, as to leave <10 ground or even colour of reproach, for the long and rigorous detention we have ex perienced here. Wehave, in myopinion, ftillontmortduty to do, which is to join our efforts in other friendly measures to obtain redress as long as we have the means of keeping possessi on of our vefTels; then in the cause of fai lure, we lhal! be jullified towards ourselves, our famil:» i, and "our country; for the a bvidon-'ng our vefTels, and seeking my o. t'ie# mode of living, and returning ho Ac, that our circumttances and prudence may dictate.
