NIGGA, February 26.
The Comrniffioners of the Convention
and the Generals have daily conference in
order to fix upon the place of operations
fur the ensuing campaign. The army of
the Alps is reckoned at 12000 men—
1000 whereof are intended for the siege
or Saorgis. The transport of the heavy
artillery has already commenced, large
magazines are established, the firfl requi
sition is called out, and the national do
minions have been fold for treble the sum
of what they had been rated at.
BRUSSELS, March 15.
All the motions and preparations which
the combined armies have made on the
frontiers are only on the defenfive, occa
iioned by the enemy drawing their troops
together. It is known from good autho
rity, that in the councils of war held
here and at Mons, it has been agreed up
on, that the combined armies shall not
begin to ast until the great reinforce
ments which are expected from Germany
and England (hall liave arrived. It will
therefore certainly be half April before
we can ast on the offenfive.
The French in the mean time seem to
Redetermined to open the campaign with
a general attack, which is to be made
irom the furthermoit frontiers of Lux
embourg ~ until the sea shore at the fame

nscenaiy precautions to cover our fron

D.edenhofen ; a corps of Auftrians has
been Cached from the county 0 f Namur,
in order to reinforce the fmill army of
General Beaulieu, who has taken hij head

the English army marched on the
in It. from Cortyk to Menin, bccaulo thts
place is threatened with an attack from
the French, who draw together near Lin
celles. The Duke of York held lately a
general review of the English arrtiy, and
gave orders to change its position. Ac
cording to appearance, the English army
is'to occupy a poll of conference, be
hind the river Lys.
Since the beginning of last week about
1000 new Auftriari cavalry have paflcd
through here and a corps - of 6ao is ex
pected every day at Shrinen ; here and in
all other cities it is amaziftg full of stran
gers; government has therefor? taken ve
ry severe measures; all 'thoi'ellrangers that
cannot legitimate themselves are looked
upon with a very jealous eye. A strong
corps of Hanoverian troops is expe&ed
here this day.
P. S. This moment we received a let
ter from Cortyk vdiich mentions that the
engagement which took place between
the French & the English near Werwick
had been a very bloody one, and that the
English had taken a good many prison
ers of the French, as likewise some pie
ces of cannon. This letter mentions
likewise, that the armed peasants took
the enemy in the rear, and thereby great
ly contributed to the advantages which
have been obtained.
PHILADELPHIA,
MAY <21.
There is a letter in town which con
tains information that three companies of
British troops under the command of Col.
Simcoe, Governor of Upper Canada,
have lately taken post near the Rapids of
the Miami of the Lakes.
Peace with.all the world, is undoubt
edly the policy and the wifli of every wife
and honest Citizen of the United States.
But in the course of human events, such
is the avarice and cupidity of nations as
well as individuals, that it may become
the duty of a people to rifle its very exis
tence as a community in supporting its
rights aud independence. Whether such
a solemn crisis is now impending, time
will soon determine. May our civil fa
thers be wife to discern and pursue the
solid interests of this infant Republic at
this eventful period.
From Correspondents.
If the liberties of this country are to be
deftroyed—llo fitter instruments can be pro
vided than felf created Legislators, who owe
no responsibility to the people.
If the liberties of France are now,or ever
have been in jeopardy since the commence
ment of the revolution of that country —the
danger has arisen not from the rcprefentatives
of the people, but from those societies who
have controuled their deliberations, and have
\didlated the public measures.
The reprefentativj-s of the people arc
known—but who knows the members of
those clubs who have aflumed the dielator-'
Ihip of the United States ?—So far as they
are known, merely as citizens, who ivouid
transfer their confidence from the represen
tatives of the people, to place it on these
men.
These societies are profefled enemies to,
and openly reprobate every important mca
fure of the government of this country. —
Hcnce arises a competition for influence,
which is but another name for power—the
end of trhefe things, in the natural order of
events, is death to the liberties ol" America.
There are certain men in public life in
this country, who are macle the objects of
perpetual abuse to the diforganizers of the
day—let uncommon attention be paid to the
public character of these men—it is shrewdly
.fufpefted that it will be found, that uncom
mon merit, gives rife to this pointed abuse.
No greater sign of depravity can exilt, than
to be the favorites of the calumniator. of our
government.
The olive branch and the fivord —these
comprize the politics of the real friends of
this country.
A nettle, and an empty fcaiboard —the
politics of the diforganizers. -
On Monday the 19th instant, a medical

ExtraS of a Letter from a refpcElable hcufe
in King flan, Jamaica, dated 12th April,
to their comfpondent in this city.
" I am extremely sorry for the difcoti
ragement, and 1 cannot help adding, the
very unfair treatment that the merchants
of your State met with in their intercourse
with our new possessions in St. Domingo ;
it hasarifen from indiltinft orders, having
been issued by the Lords of the Admiral'
ty in the firft inHance, and the spirit of
thefc orders again miffconceived by our
Naval commanders in these fedfc.
"1 think I can with certainty fay that
an end is now put to that evil, but am
apprehensive that you have already felt it
so severely as to have been induced to leave
off that trade entirely ; to remove this
unfortunate impreflion as far as possible,
I have requtrftcd the Governor of this
Island to write circular letters to the Brit
ilh Consuls in the different Ports of Ame
rica, assuring them, that not only the
Ports of this Island, but those of our
possessions of St. Domingo, are open to
all kinds of provisions, being brought
there in American vessels ; and that they
will be allowed to carry away every de
scription of produce without any reflec
tions'whatever."
