Belgians call me their deliverer, I will speedily be yours ! DUMOURIER. DUTCH MANIFESTO In anfwerto Dumourier's proclama tion, a manifefto has been pub lilhed, which confutes, and at the fame time treats with contempt that idle gasconade, as well as the obicure faction called the Batavi an Committee, to which it is more immediately addrefl'ed, —it con cludes thus : WE rather expect that all citi zens, laying aside any parry spirit which disunites them, will unite their efforts to ours and to those of all the true friends of his country, to defend and preserve, under Di vine protection, the territory which has given them birth, and in which they have been bred—that they will snatch religion and true liber ty, those guarantees of our h.appi nefs, from the insupportable yoke of foreign and barbarous hordes.— We expert every thing from their courage and bravery ; and we are persuaded that they will not fuffer thenvfelves to be intimidated by the exaggerated ilatement of the forces which are represented as advancing against them. We persuade our selves, that they will neither for get the invincible valour with which pur immortal ancestors refilled fuc cefsfully these very Frenchmen, at a time when the greatest powers in Europe did not, as at this day, com bat with us, but on the other hand, ■were leagued with our enemies ; — nor the lituation of our country, which more especially in this fca fon, op.poses unfurmountable obtta cles to an hoftije invasion ; no, the diligence and energetic of the government, which will neglect nothing to secure the fuccefies of our 'common efforts ; nor, lastly, the efficacious succours weeexpertc r t in a little time from our faithful allies. If after so many important considerations, they may still need a motive to confirm them in their resolution to facrifice every thing to the defentre of their dear coun try, we will place before their view the example of our neighbors the inhabitants of the Austrian Ne therlands, who have called on and welcomed as friends, the very ge neral who dares to call himfelf their deliverer, and those very French men he commands ; those Belgians now reap the bitterest fruit of their heedless credulity. Deign, thou Supreme, and All puifl'ant Being, who haft lo often extricated this republic from the 1110 ft imminent dangers—deign to preserve it at this day from such a deliverance, and from such friends. Caution to Ladies. Lady Elizabeth Pratt has kept her bed this fortnight, from the dread ful accident fbe met with by burn ing her handkerchief and head diefs. She was alone when it hap pened, and had the presence of mind to endeavor to roll herfelf in the carpet, which unfortunately was nailed to ihe floor. Her cries, on the discovery of this, brought Mr. Stewart to her aififtance, who imme diately pulled off his coat, threw it round her, and extinguiflied the flame. Her ladyship is attended by Dr. Karqubar, whose method ofcure is a very limple one, namely, the application of ice, which e*trai!is lite fire, without leaving any fear after the part affctfted is healed. An industrious exhibiter of rari ties, commonly called a fhew-maii, is now tr?velling round the coun try with Mr. Burke's dagger,which he difplavs to the curious at a pen ny a head. Philadelphia, April 27. ABSTRACT OF FOREIGN NEWS, A body of Frcnc!) troops have taksn by furpi"ife,C.ul{bu> g, the re fide nee of the Dtfke of Deux Pouts—the Duke with his family had a narrow escape. The Pope it is said has written a peniten tial letter to the National Convention—ex prefling his for row for the murder of M- Bafleville, and acknowledging in fawning and abject terms the French republic. :YL de Burgoing the French Ambaflador at Madrid has not been received at that Court since the death of the King of France; the Leyden Gazette fays he was to have been ar retted, but found means to escape.

P-rofecutions abound in England of persons who pnblifti or vend seditious writings—se veral booksellers have been severally fined for felling " Paine's Rights ot Man ; and some, it is said, for only exprefling an appro bation of the sentiments it contains. The French it appears, have a fleet ps nine teen fail of the line in the Mediterranean — Two French prizes captured by two Britiih (hips of War are eft i mated to be worth 70,000] —-Eight thousand Hanoverian troops are to march into Holland. It is reported that the Grand Senior is dead, and that his successor 15 going to renew the war ag'ainft Ruflia.— A Mr. Butler and Mr. Bond —who had signed a publication reflecting on the committee of the House of' Lords in Ireland-— as Chairman and Secretary to the Society of United Irifti men—have been condemned to 6 months im prisonment, and 500 pounds penalty each for their offence.—Lord Barry more of the Oueens Regiment—was lately killed by a fll zee which went of accidentally as he flopped into a car riage with the gun in hW hand. The field pieces belonging to the different volunteer corps in Dublin have been lately seized by the military and lodged in the go vernment arsenal. English papers of the 9th of March contain the King's proclamation tor a general Fail. The Prussian army was at Vcnlo and Clcves in February, and part of the French at St. Mi chael, opposite, and at no great distance ; an en gagement was hourly expe&ed. The fortification of Choczim Has been evacu ated by the Auftrians, and polTcffion given to the Turks. The cfty of Hamburgh being tliie.ittncd by the King of Pruflia with having 5000 nim quar tered in ii, in cafe they do not fend away the French cmiffaries who were purchasing fupplics there, the m;igiftiMtes complied with the requi sition, and ifTued orders accordingly. The French national gaaid in Paris has been new organized, and a new commandant ap- pointed. • The new French Conftiiution has been report ed by the committee appointed to draft the fame. It contains a bill of rights. The Lrgiflature is to confitt of one House of Representatives, to be ele6led annually ; the Executive, of seven princi pal officers, each to a£t as Prcfident alternately, for fourteen days. A new convention to be called in twenty years, to revise and improve the Conflitutioa. The army to be under the c.on troul of the executive.

The Convention pafied to the order of the day. The new Conilitutioa do < not meet the ap probation of all parties ; the J»Cobttil in parti cular are dilTattsfied with it. It is appnne4- howeyer, if is fatd, by the great mals of tfcf citizens ol Pins. The followingjielch of the D*Utt< nr the Jacotin Club, Feb. 2iJ), unit ilUftrati the furtgting. Anthoine said, it ">vas a mafter.pieciof am fenfe and treachery. Couthon complained, that a dear exposition of the natural rights of man was not to be found in it.—The principle of resistance to oppression was exprefled in an absurd, and a'moft unintelligible manner— The theory of ele&ion was too complicared, and favoved the intrigues of the rich.

SAYS A CORdESrONDENT, A cursory view of foreign intelligence will serve to shew that the (pint of fa)(hood and nnfreprefcotation was never more alert than at the present day. Not to advert to palpable con tradictions in the European prints, it is evident, from the greatest part of the paragraphs relative to the Belligereut powers, that the writers anti cipate events agreeably to their wishes, and in inanyinftances palm them on the public for fa&s. —The public is frequently cautioned to be on its gnard against the mifrepreftmations of French affairs in the Engli(h papers—but it is evident that there are Britiih publications as much-in the interest of Franco as any publifbed :n Paris—the partizans on both fides no doubt aregjilty of great exaggerations—but is it aU& that truth has fled from the earth, and that not one fjjlitary printer can be found who finds it for h is inteteft to pubhfh a just reprefentauon of tS: hnpoitant tranfa&ions now pafiitig on the European theatre ? In afligning rcafons for the war wich France, an Enghlh paper fay?'— u It is the cause ot hu man nature we are engaged to support; of a conilitution which our an:eftors cemented with their blood, which is the source of our pride, and the foundation of our happmefs againfta (yf tem of innovation which has swept before it, like an overwhelming torrent, the sacred infti tuiions of antiquity, the pure consolations of re ligion, the duties of domestic life, and the obli gations between man and man. In ancient limes war was conduced with dignified feroci ty ; among the moderns it has been carried on with fcieniific (kill: the recent hollilities of the French have been ferocious without dignity, and fcientific without humanity ; and if we meet their forces with fucb accumulated horrors, we have still the cotnfoit of refle&ing, that to ab stain from war is impoflible, and to doubt of success would be impious.*' ExtraS oj a letter from an Amoican Gentleman at "nantz, feb. 3 An embargo is laid up on alt veflels here, except American and Spa- The greater part of the powers oi* Eu rope are hostile to France, but she will tri umph over them all.

COMMU NICATIO N S. It is not without example to find porfons who like ihe treason, and vet despise the traitor. Those who throw rotten eggs at a government, may do a piece of fcrvtce to the public. But .those who like to fee the government thus adorned and peifumed, would be afhamcd to be seen in the company of the men who funiifh their amilfement. These Grub Greet writers may fay> the world is not our friend, nor the world Ylaw—and therefoie that dcfcription of pcrfons very naturally, some will fay very justly, make war upon both. We are commanded to love our enemies.— There are in cveiy country perions who find the laws their worst rnemies—enemies, which infli£l impnlonmcoi, fines and ftiipcs. This is too much 10 be forgiven. It is cheaper, as well as more honorable, to car*y on war with such per sons, than to buy a peacp. i What is public credit!—lt is the animating . principle of public ejiertion—which, having braced the nerves of indtuftry, and fist the machine of general enterprize in motion is at the present moment, the tenure on which hundreds of tbouf.tnds of our fellow-citizens JtoM the means of subsistence. "Every attempt (and many are made) to depreciate the public confidence in the honor and faith of tbe government of this conntry is a fti oke at the vital principle of our fecial exiftencc. It has been ca'led an in'ult to republicanism for the free citizens of the United Statet to cxprels their feelings on the fate of the un fortunate King of France ; but the people of this country know how to diftingnifc be tween the principles of humanity and jullice, and thole which cast a (hade on the tuft c.iufe that mankind pollibly he engaged in—the cause of Freedom—Americans will eternally leprohate the crneltiei of arbitrary end dsf potic po;ver, under whatever fanftisn they maybe extrtiftd.
