The French fell back, but return
ed again to the attack—At this mo
ment a sluice was opened, which had
the delired effedt—upwards of rooo
of the enemy were killed by the
fire of the Syren, the spirit and vi
gour of the garrifpn, and the effetft
of the inundation. Dumourier found
it in vain to persist. He abandoned
his works, and retired to the dis
tance of a league, up to tiie middle

Hague, March 4. An account
has been received of a complete vic
tory gained over the French at
Venlo, by Prince Frederick of
Brunfvrick. The circumltances of
this action are not yet accurately
detailed; but it is laid that IJOO
Frenchmen are taken pri (oners,
with 22 pieces of cannon.
The siege of Maeilricht is raised.
The tide of the affairs of France
begins to change. The immense
force of the empire begins to get iu
motion, and its weight will be found
irrefiftable.
Dnmourier has withdrawn bim
fell'from before Williamftadc ; it is
conjectured, fn consequence of tlie
news of 2 iucb iignal defeats as his
colleagues have experienced- Me
has retired to the diflrance of a
league from that fortrefs. If he is
not expeditious in retreating out of
the Dutch territory.it is more than
probable that his retreat will be en
tw-eJy for the vi<ftoriousarr
hiies of Clairfair, & tlie two princes
above named, will pour in upon him
and surround him.
The effect this intelligence has
had in Holland, is inconceivable.—
The people befoi'6 were calmly de
termined to facrifice their lives for
their country, now they look for
ward to victory and revenge, for
the unprovoked aggrefiion of the
French, and the evils which it has
■brought upon a part of their coun
try.
Dover, March 8. A perfonjuft
iriivcd from Kindling, and who left
that place yesterday, afleris it for a
truth, that Breda has been retaken
by the Dutch and Prussian troops.
Harwich, March 8. Mr.SyNef

ariived express tins morning by the
Prince of Orange Packet, from Hel
voetflnys.
In confequonce of Gen. CJairfait's
.narching for ibe relief of Maef
tricht, the French have raised the
liege of that important fortrefs.
A report prevailed in Holland
previous to the failing of the Prince
of Orange Packet, that the Prufiians
liad taken ioq pieces of cannon, and
o large supply of ammunition that
were on the toad for the supply of
Dumourier's array ; and further,
that the Duke of Brunfwick had had
an engagement with the French,
and totally defeated them ; in con-
Sequence of which between three
and four thousand were taken pri
soners, and left dead in the field.
The Auft i ians had attacked a bo
dy of't'rench, detached across tlie
Meui'e to keep Jnliers in c,heck ;
upwards of 2000 were killed or ta
ken priloners, and the whole de
tachment put to the route,
Miranda, in his retreat to Rure
monde, loft 8 pieces of cannon.
Prince Frederick of Pruflia had
attacked Ruremonde,and hada com
plete victory, by which that impor
tant port had come into the hands
of ilie Auftrians.
Gertrtiydenberg has furrendev-ed
to the French, after 3 days bom
bardment, on ihe fame terms as
Breda.
The Prince de Cobourg has fuc
cefsfully attacked ihe French at
•Aix la Chapelle, who after a vigo
rous refinance, in which 4000 men
were killed, and i,600 taken priso
ners, were obliged to evacuate that
place, and leave behind them 120
pieies of cannon, and a great quan
tity of military (tores.
In addition to the foreign news
alreadj detailed, we have to state,
that Gen. Beaolieu was marching
to the attack of Liege, and that the
rench were in t he utmost confulion.
The Stpdtholder has given the

find, up >n a moderate calculation, that there has

" The example of France (fays a writer in
the National Gazette) hath {truck terror into
Mgovirnmenis 1 ' —the indefinitenefs of this ex
pression, plainly implies that the writer con
siders all government as injurious ; this is but
an old objection of the enemies of public tran
quility, new vamped. Thee are persons in
she world to whom a// government is intoler
able.
The provision for paying S'le interest of the
public debt has long been a grievance to per
sons of a certain description, becanfe the dif
charging our obligations, involved the necef
fity.of tr.xes and revenue; but thefeconfident
poljficiaijs now take it in dudgeon, that the
government will not involve the people in in
calculable expence, by plunging them in an
-tro«*ceffary war !
<, It i* too apparent, that the enemies of the
public credit of thi-. country, despairing 0 f
fuqeefs in their machinations to overthrow
the funding fyfiem, are now attempting to
implicate the United States in the war 'aging
between France and the combined powers,
doubtless expe£ting in that event to be favor
ed with an opportunity of executing their fa
vorite plan by rendering the public burthens
requisite for both objects, infupportable.—lt
is impoflibie that the people should not jujlly
appreciate such politics.
The oldCongrefs had the hardiness to stamp
on, their paper money this injunction, mind
your bujinefs; how well this applies to our vo
lunteer ftatefmcn, it is not difficult to shew ;
but, modern politics enntradift the old faying
that what is every body's business," is nobody's
bnfinefs.
When success crowns our enterprizes it is
indicative of their having been planned in
wisdom. The men who have been the prin
cipal agents in conducing the affairs of this
count'/to a situation far more eligible and
pr«fpero*rt than any ageor nstiotrever before
experienced, are, through the favor of Pro
vidence at the Helm at this critical juncture
in t>;e concerns of Europe. Let experience
teatfh us wisdom, and inspire the people with
confidence in those who have so long ei joyed
their their approbation. If thole who have
done worthily for their countiy are rewarded
with opprobium and abuse ; 14 the post of ho
nor will soon be considered as confined to a
private station."
A Utter from a <n in to hi>
frini in this city, iaud Shrek 18t/i, fays,
" It is scarcely possible to convey to you an
Adequate idea of the present *ate of Europe.
All its Kings, all it* Prieft*>»are combined
agiinft the new republic ol'Frincr, aad nu>
!>v hundred thousand of msi( are now m arms,
to restore Kingly Power, and the influence
of the Church in that country. None of the
hostile powers have entered into this war
with a greater zeai and acrimony tban En
gland, the people whereof, at any rate, a
great majority of them, are ar, keen for ex
terminating Liberty in France, at thcv were
formerly for fubjagating Che thirteen Colonies.
The Scotch, however, are not so unanimous
upon this occafinn, as they were then : a
great number in Scotland being ujjainft the
war. As to Ireland, I think I may f.ifelji fav,'
that two thirds of the people, in their prefeut
discontented State of mind, are completely
adverse to the present fvftem of English poli
tics. As to the French themfelvr'., if they
were unanimous at home, they might be a
match ferall t ieir enemies. Twq of their
General?:, Doinourier and Cuftine, are men
ot wonderful fortune and ability : But the
queltionable execution of rhcir King, which
has estranged many moderate men from their
and the horrible diflentions in Paris
concluded or excited by the execrable fa<stion
of Kohei.'pierre £r Marat,have caused a doubt
at least a fear, that the really virtuous men
among them, are too few and too weak to
carry their upright intentions into effect. In
the mean time, the government of Ireland is
carrying on a high and flrong band in cou
janftion with the Englilh minlfter—A man
dare not speak, or fearcelv think, tor fear of
the Secret Committee of the Lordi, who have re
newed all tie arbitrary proceedings of the
Star Chamber. Every man or body of men,
who presume to talk of liberty, or a reform
of a corrupt Conllitution in Church and State,
are prosecuted and persecuted, fined or con
fined, or both, after a very fbmmary trial;
and the Irish Volunteers, once the glory
and the bn:iit r>f their are now. open
