ILLUSTRATED.
Embellilhed with a beautiful head of
S. VERGES, C. S.
THE publisher thinks it a mark of refpeA, due to a
liberal and enlightened public, to inform them that
this is the Poem for the publilhing of which he has been
twice dragged from hi« house, and is now laboring under
a vexatious profec'ution He i« conscious that the piece
contains nothing either criminal or offenfive, unless ori
ginal wit. deroi ated in elsgant language, ba criminal or
dlfgutling to the prevalent talle; and, as.he trusts that
neither of these i-, the cafe, he submits the work to the
•public with a,full a durance of its meeting with a favora
ble reception.
He would beg his prosecutors to call to mind (if they '
have ever read it) the following apologue to a w#llknown
ropiance—" A young painter, indulging a vein of plea
santry, Iketched a kind of Convtrfation Piece, refpeAinga
bear, an owl, a monkey, and an ass; and to render it
more striking, humourous and moral, diltinguifljed eve
ry figure by some emblem of human life. Bruin was
exhibited.in the garb and attitude of an old, tOothless,
drunken soldier; the owl perched upon the handle of a
toffee-pot, with fpefiades on his nose, seemed to contem
plate a newfpapir; and tho ass ornamented with a huge
tyt-wig (which, however, coifld not conceal his loi.g I
ears) fat for his pidlure to the monkey, who appeared r
with the implements of painting. This wiimfi.algroup \f>
afforded some mirth, and met with general approbation, j '
some mischievous wag hinted the whole was a lam- I t
poon upon an old officer, a phyfieian, and a n.cmber of I t
Parliament; an infmuation which was no ieoner circuUt- } r
ed, than these people began to be . larnv d, and even to I i
fancy tin mfe Ives figrified by the several Pgures in the I
piece. The furious group fell upon the paii ter, who dc-l '
dared that be had no deiign to give offence, or to tha- lj
Ta&eriz«s par cular pcifon-. '1 hey affirmed, tie rrfcmbtaneej t
■was too palpable to ic ovcr/vtieJ, — and their clamours btinj [
overheard by the public, the Captain was a bear, th
Dodrr afl Mis, and the Stnator an owl, to their dyin; |
day."——lf a limilar f«ire Ihould attend che persons wb \ s
♦will insist upon being the members of this group, th : c
public will do the publisher the jufticc to remember tha a
it it no fault of his. • T

/ " The reports of peace, which were believed for

; the anival in Paris of an Austrian secretary of Je.

to propose an armistice ; but the conditions could
not be agreed on. This Secretary is returned —
It is believed that there is not now any open nego
ciation between "Franee and Auftna."
Adtt, Miniller plenipotentiai'y of the Republic
to the Upited States of America, had demanded a
fucccffor. The direftoiy long fought for ooe.
That embassy had been offered to several citizens,
who had refufed it, and particularly to Marey. Cir*
ctimftances have changed in America," and at the
anii-Englifn party having recovered their influence,
has expressed a desire to retain his fituationj

ARMY OF THE SAMBRE AND MEUSE.
Jourdan, Commander in Chief of the Army <>f
the Sambre and Meufe, to the £*ecutive Direc
tory.
Head quarter# at Coblentz, June 20.
" Citizen Directors,
" I HAVE the honor to inform you, that that
part of the army which was td retreat by Nieu
wied, pafied the river the day-before yeflerday in :
the greatest order, and without losing a fingleman,
though in presence of fix regiments o< the enemy's '
cavalry, and of several battalionsxjf infantry, sup- 1
ported by twelve pieces of cannon. The enemy 1
endeavored to deflrtfy the bridge by two rafts which
they launched at it; the firft, without breaking it 1
entirely, Co far-deranged it, that it required several 1
hours to re-ettabiifh it; but this was leon done by !
the zeal, activity and talents of citizen Tirlet, eap- 1
tain of artillery, who commanded the workmenon 1
the bridge; the second rift was flopped before it '
reached the bridge.
" While the bridge was repairing,' the army took
a polrtion on the Suynbach ; whcnce it tefumed its
march in the greatest order; the"rtrtreat was Co. 1
by the cavalry and two battalions of the 30th i
half brigade, under the command of brigadier Ar- a
naud—Thefe two battalion/, and the third re e i- ft
ment of l.ght-horfe, led by Colonel Gro«jean, dif
tingmfhed themselves by the coolness and precision b
which they displayed in then- manoeuvres, which ii
executed under the fire of the enemy's artil- v
'Iu -j at . c!cven at nl g ht » th at part of 4
the bridge of Nieuwied, which extends over "the a
right branch of 4 he Rhine, was reflo.ed without
accidcpt. v
" cber ' w,l ° was retreating on the Sieir, n
was yesterday attacked in the poll of Ukeradt a!
tw. 1" the morning. The enemy', attack was so <
sudden, that he deemed it less dangerous, to" rifle
a battle, than to continue bis j«rest. He theic- d
5* fore male tl>e neccfi..! y dilpo; tioi'3, ;id inarched
against the afiailaiite; h- even beat back the heads
of the enemy's fVrft'cohrtnns, but perceiving a cot
fiderable force, particulatly in cavalry,
on his two flanks, he returned to his.firft portion,
and there maintained himfftlf.
" The a&ion ceased at three in rhe afternoon.
»''• the General was to resume bis march in the night,
to gain the lines of Duffel'dorfF. During our re
tfeat, federal partial actions took place, the parti
culars of which 1 cannot fend you, as I have not
yet received them ; but our troops invariably dis
played both courage and skill, and not a single port
was forced, fu that our retreat was conduced with.,
thegreateft ordpr.
" I cannot, citizens Diretftor*. fufHciently praise
the courage, coolni.fu.and perfcverance of the troops,
who fought for three days, and ptirfued their
in the night j neither ftraggleis nor fugitives
to b« seen ; never did rhe army appear to greater
advantage than during this retreat ; and this it tllf
time to judge of the eondudl both of officers and
privates. T
" The general officers merit the highest com- J
mendatiorrs ; by their talents, their courage, and I
the precision with which they executed roy orders, I
they confirmed the courage of the soldier, and in-1
spired him with that confidence which avtrts difa-i

I /*%•'? Strafburgh, June 23, 11 in the morning.
I TOUR orders are executed. The army pasTed
/ the Rhine this morning at two o'clock. Kehl i«
our own, with all its formidable batteries.—Gene
rals'Defaix, Beaupon, and Pernio, are purfifing th?
enemy with vigour. The stlion (till continues. A
great extent of territory, and a number of vil
lages, are already occupffd by our troops. The
«nemy is quite (lupehed by an attack as warm as it
was unexpected. From five to fix hundred prison
ers already taken, with fcveral caffoons and pieces
of cannon.
" It is not possible lo bestow fufficient commend
ation on the bravery of jhe army, on the precition,
ar.d particularly OYI the discretion with which the
business has been conduced. Yeflerday moving
30,000 men were in the environs of Sttafb 'rgh,
and nobody knew their real destination. At Neu
ftadt, it was supposed, yefterjay morning the head
quarters were going to Turkheim, when they were
dire&ing their march to Strafb lrgh. From such
unanimity every thtng is to be expe&ed.
" I have just left the Cpmmandej in Chief, as he
was parting the Rhine. He will fend off an ex
traordinary cornier to night with farther particulars
of thwglorioijs expedition.

It is believed that the Chevalier Azzara has al

this treaty is that by which the Holy father un

Jlbitants of Lonjbardy, even those of the lowed 1

d The rigorous measures lately employed, hav^ s
s served only to irritate the minds'of the people ire ""

It is certain that the enemy experienced a severe

but the loss was less considerable than has been be
