HAGUE, July 28. The immense quantities of provifi onspurchafed in Holland for the sus tenance of the Ruffian and Austrian armies, afford a strong proof of the care and forefight of those to whom that department is entrnfted. On the 13th of this month, Count Kelier requefled of ihe States General the free export of the provisions put chaf ed for the service of Prussia. LISLE, Align It 4 Several of our derachments,juft re turned, have had skirmishes with the enemy, in all of which the advantage was on our fide. An officer has received a letter from a friend in the centre ariny, Hating that there has been an action near Longwy, in which the enemy loft 630 men. VALENCIENNES, July 3r A corporal and 17 fufueeis of the regiment of Mauray, who set off from a poll at one of the gares of Bi ulfels 011 the night of Saturday or Sunday last, are arrived here. They had their arms and some ammunition with them, and laid they were resolved, if opposed to fight their way. PARIS, August 6 It is affirmed, that all the French Princes, except M. Conde, who has refufed, have done homage to the new Emperor of Allaceand Lorraine. M. Definottes, Adjutant-General to M. la Fayette, is dead of the wounds which were civically infli<fted on him on the Terrace des Feuillans, a few ■weeks ago. M. Duhamel was buried on Tues day. His corple was attended by great multitudes of people. One would imagine that Dillon, Duhamel, &c. &c. were purposely butchered with a view to have a fine funeral procelfion, solemn dirges, a noble ca tafalque, &c. &c. M. Bonnecarrere is appointed Mi nifter Plenipotentiary toPhiladelphia The Jacobins are now llrongly di vided. M. BrifTor, lfnard,and others, want to form a club ofre-union ; they have been denounced as the causes of the war, and it is under consideration whether Briflot shall not be publicly expelled. The Poetaster Chinier is the author of the elegant address delivered by Mr. Petion at the bar of the august Diet, as containing the sentiments of the people at Paris ; and yet this ad dress is reprobated by all the citizens, a few ragamuffins, ruffians, and ad venturers only excepted. The unfortunate city of Aries, as well as Marseilles and others, is again a prey to the demon of civil discord. The Decree of the difti ic't of Mau confeil is to be annulled by found of trumpets, and it is discountenanced by every one. The vote of the 48 fe<ftions of Pa ris, relative to the King's deposition, must have a prodigious influence up on the opinions of the reft of the kingdom : It is the wish, however of the best friends of liberty that the Aflembly inay adjourn the considera tion of this great and momentous queilion until the close oftheprefeni .war. Were they to acquiesce in the vvifh es of the capital, Luckner and La Fayette would use all their interest with the army to protect the person and dignity of the King, and there is not a single aid-de-carnp in their suite, or general officer under them, but would most readily join them in any scheme for his deliverance. The condu<ft of the Auftrians at Bavay and Orchies, has been equally impolitic and inhuman fnftead of conciliating the French citizens by mildness, they have irritated thein by the moll violent and attrocious acts of cruelty. The Houlans, like the Coflacks, do no not receive any pay ; ai;d are therefore under the nbfolnte necefiity offubfifting theinfelves upon plunder. A coinage of falfe Louis d'Ors has been just discovered at Rsomainville. Tbe Prince de Conde has received the command of the advanced guard of French emigrants. The Compte d'Artois, and M. de Broglio, have been appointed by the Duke of Brunfwick to lead the main body. M. la Fayette is encamped between Villers le Roud and Marville, M. Dillon is encamped at Maulde. The Auflrians Hill continueto desert to him in large bodies. The workmen belonging to M. Pankoucke's Printing-office in Paris, have firtsd out five Volunteers for the Frontiers, to whom tiiey allow a cer tain daily sum over and above their pay. she gardens of the Thuilleries are still parted off with patiotic ribbons, flie following lenience was attached to one of theni yelferday : " La coleie du *"euple lienta un rubati; " La couronne du Koitient a un ills." M. St. C lair commands the emi grant regiment of the fame name. The Marquis de Ponibal is to lead a legion of Kulfian chafieurs into the .field. M. Calonne is laid to be in disgrace with the French Princes. After M. Petion had delivered his speech to tile National Assembly on Friday last, M. Ifnard also spoke on the fame subject as well as he could, and his sentiments perfectly accorded with thole of the virtuous Petion. He called M. Champion, whom he denounced to the Allenibly, and to the whole nation, an execrable fel low, for having said that he, Ifnard, was fold to the English—" Wretch !" cried he, " J)i(leCt my heart, and fee whether it be Engliih !" NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, AuGOsr 5. One of the sections of Paris, which goes by the name of Mirabeau, an nounced to day a patriotic offering of 58 volunteers, equipped by them for the defence of the couutry agaitift its invaders. These men furnifhed by their neighbours, some giving them a coat, others a sword, others a fufil, &c. marched across the hall with mncii applauf'e, and their names read aloud, wefe inserted in the pro ces verbal. It is by these kind of ac tions that the sections may serve their country with honor to themselves, and not by insulting the law by re bellious arrets. LONDON, Augnft 10, Lord Cornwallis lias fignified his intention of returning to Europe in January next. His Lordship will be accompanied home by Gen. Meadows. Lord Macartney succeeds EarlCorn wallis as governor-general in India— his Lordi'hip will, after concluding his embafly to China, embark from thence for Madras. The diplomatic character of the new American Minilter, Mr. Pinck ney, who was presented to his Majes ty last Wednesday, is reciprocally the fame as the British Minister, Mr. Hammond, is inverted with at Phila delphia, viz. Minister Plenipotentiary. Mr. Hammond's credentials to the United States were presented to the President in October last, upon his receiving official notification of Mr. Pinckney's appointment. The expeuce of the plate which his Majesty presents to each of his Ain baifadors, is near qoool. The Chinese Embaliy is to be upon a grander scale than is generally ima gined ; and the commercial effects are likely to prove of correspondent importance. It is to be graced by afplendid mi litary retinue, which is to bear the appellation of Lord Macartney' sLegiou. National Debt The cominiifioners under Mr. Pitt's bill for (he reduction of the National debt, completed the 24th quarter on the ift of Augufl, 1792. The quan tity redeemed by them amounted to nine millions, four hundred, forty one thousand, eight hundred and fifty pounds Capital Bought.

ABSTRACT OF FOREIGN NEWS. The National AlTembly having annulled the arrete of the feftion of Mauconfeille for de throning the King, the departments of the mu nicipality of Paris caused the decree of the As sembly to be proclaimed by found of trumpet. Prince Lumbefc, formerly commander of the guards of the king of France, has lately been lb hardy as to return to Paris, to fettle some do mestic affairs. persons were hung at Toulon the firft of July for aristocracy. Six others loft their lives at Pertrice on afimilar ac count.—'Notwithstanding a majority of the Na tional AlTembly are against the proportion for dethroning the King, at Jeaft as inexpedient at the present crisis, a petition is opened at the Champ de Mars for that purpose, to which about fifty thousand persons have affixed their names, and the number was continually augmenting.— An infurre&ion broke out among the Austrian troops in Tournay ; in consequence of which the gates were shut ; the can e or the event were not known.—Since the decree of the Af iembly, declaring the nation in danger, was pal Ted, the number of volunteers that turn out is incredible.—At the present moment, all that is wanted in France is Union. A concert of views and exertions as to one great object, that of repelling their invaders. A sense of the dan gers of discord must neceflarily produce this ef fect—and a coalition will render them invinci ble —Five hundred and ninety fix millions livres of the affignats have been cancelled and destroy ed.—A squadron intended for St. Domingo, con fiding of one 74, four frigates, and 17 trans ports, with 8000 men, was at the Ifje of Aix, ready to fail, by the last accounts.—lii various fkirmilhes with the Auftrians, the French have had the advantage. In an action near Longwy, the former are said to have loft: 600 men. The armies of Austria and Pruflia were in motion on their way to France—the citizens were making the greatest preparations to give them a warm reception, and to defend their country to the last extremity. About the 3°th J two the enemies camps were attacked by M. de la Fayette—his fuccefswould have been complete, but for the treachery of three officers who de serted, and alarmed the Auftrians. He howe ver killed about 400 of them, and took 3° co ~ vered waggons. The loss of the French was only three killed and twenty wounded.— I'Lon don accounts fay, that it is an erroneous repre sentation that Admiral Paul Jones died in dis tress. He has left more than a thousand pounds between his two sisters, now in the North of England—Admiral Jones li3d a public funeral, ordered by the National Alfembly. This, it is said in the Paris papers, was contrary to the opinion of the American Minister—who is cen sured in those papers for his conduct, particu larly for not attending the funeral of that ce lebrated commander. Some priests have been? inhumanly butchered at Bordeaux. An ecclesiastic, 70years old, who was endeavoring to set the fra&ured limbs of some people at Limoges, was cut to pieces by the mob. The Duke d'Orleans drove post, on the ißfh July, through the Louvre, on his way to Paris. He was hifled, in his way thro' the town, by a whole regiment and by the citi zens. A similar reception awaited him at Pa ris He has been advised not to attempt any new schemes, for the National Guards are re solved to defend the King and the Constitu tion. Captain Snake, a chief belonging tothe Mun fee tribe, who was sent with a message to the hostile Indians, was killed at one of the Dela ware towns, after he had made known his bnfi nefs. V/e hear from Rutland, Vermont, that the Printing Office of Mr. Haswell, with all its contents, were last week destroyed by fire—a public, as well as private loss. Last Sunday week arrived in this city, Capt. Eaton and his company of Infantry, on their march to Pitif burg. About sixty of Capt. Eaton's corps were laifed ih the state of Ver mont, near Bennington, and thirty joined them at Ne w-Brunfwick and frenton, on their way here through New-Jersey. This party was join ed by part of Capt. Peirce's company of Artillery, and the whole detach ment, coniilting of nearly 200, march ed from hence for Pittfburg the 21ft inft. completely accoutred—making a very handsome and martial appear- ance, A beautiful new {hip, built by Mr. Goffe, for Mr. Wilcocks, and to be commanded, by Capt. Samuel Smith, was launched at Kenfingron lad Wed - nefday, in presence of a verj nume rous aflembly of citizens, who had collected there on the occasion. The State-Honfe, which is ere<stingi at Trenton, is in conflderabie for wardnefs. Great exertions will be made to have apartments prepared, if possible, to accommodate the legifla cure at their feflion, which will com mence in October next. It is one hundred feet long by fifty feet wide, with a semi hexagon at each end, over which is to be a balluftrade; and, when finifhed, will be a commodious and elegant building. 9,441,850 On Tuesday next the middle circuit court of the United States is to be held at Trenton. The annual commencement of Princeton College was held at the College-Hall on Wedncfday la(t. So various and contradictory arc the European accounts, that it is al most impossible to form a precise or definiteopinionwith 1 efpeift toFrench, Polilh, Englifli, Aullrian, or Ruffian, affairs—Even the intelligence trum France, or that under ilie Paris head in the Engliffi papers, is very far from fatisfying the mjnd. Theie is how ever one predominant feature whicli forcibly obtrudes itfelf—the National AH embly appear to poflefs the confi dence of a decided majority of the people—and the people discover as great, if not a greater fervor in the cause of liberty, than at any period since the commencement of the Revo- lution FROM A CORRESPONDENT. The several trials which the free constitutions of the United States and France have to undergo, arise from a lawless opposition to the measures adopted by the conftitutionai autho rities, in pursuance of those constitu tions. This fort of opposition has done much to ruin the affairs of France, as is solemnly declared by the great; and good Fayette. Let us take care, that the attempt begun at Pitifburgh does not produce similar effects. Even the Miamifavages, prompted by rival foreign Indian traders, must have ienfe enough to fee, that they have better chances of wounding the frontier people, so long as their mea sures go to destroy the government that proteifts them, and the revenues afligned to pay our army. Penn.Caz. It lmift, Cays a correspondent, give real pleasure lo all the friends to good government, to observe how extreme ly watchful the President of the Unit-' ed Stales is at all times, to discharge the sacred trust reposed in him by the Conflitution, with refpetS to the execution of the laws ; and the ex ample is worthy of being copied by the State Governors. For it may be taken for granted, that people who will oppose the laws of the United States, would, on a trivial change of circHtnf}ances, as readily oppose those of an individual State. And perhaps the Executive Power never appears in so pleasing a capacity, in the eye» cf good men, as when it is employed in maintaining the laws. Dpi. Adv. Hied, in Charleston, (S. C.)
