P ! r^ to topport tfrfre-rfftabliftiment of a regal government in France. The fame let ten mention'other defeats of the French be fore Merrtz and at Nitaa. In fliort, the late twiverfal defeat of the French seems, if p„r. fible, more rapid than their former iucceiles ; and the decided part taken by their command, er in chief, added to the vigorous proceedings of the Couoter-Revolutionifts in France, ap pear more likely to be the means of re-efla bjifhing a permanent form of government in (hit country. Ge ieral Dumourier certainly marched on the 3d for Pars, with the avowed intention at restoring the Monarchy of France. He was joined 0.1 hh march bv numbers of peo ple, who, shocked with the iniquitous mur. der of Louis the Sixteenth, were now happy in an opportunity of declaring their fenri ments. Previous to Dumourier's quitting Lisle, he put a white cockade into his hat, and all tho army fillowed his example, a; fad as ribbons could be procured f»r them. We nnderftard that the white flag is flying on the tower of the garrison at Lisle, in which Dumourier left a garrison on whom be couy depend.

Yesterday evening a gentleman arrived here from in Georgia, who informs ns. that fix of tile Creek towns, with a number of Cherokee*, had declared war against the United States, and were actually marching under the command of Bowles and Galptiin, to attack the frontiers. An Angnfta jjaper contains the following intelligence : Augusta, M;i; 4. We have it now in Our* power, tram the best authority, to give the following melancholy particulars to the public, attending the ,mur d?r of the family 011 the Oconee river, on the 23d ultimo. The Indians, 37 in number, came to the house of a Mr. Richard Threlher, and fired upon and killed Mr. Threlher, two children and a negro woman ; Mrs.Threflier to avoid, if pnflihle, the fate with which she was threat ened, fk-d, with an infant of about 5 or 6 weeks old in her arms, and leaped into the river—the Indians pursued, (hot her through each thigh and rigfit breast, dabbed her irt the left breast with a knife, cut her left arm near ly off,and then scalped her. In this horrid fitpatinn (he remained until the neighbours could aflimble in fufljeient numbers to cross the river and purine the jndians. As the i;rft canoe was crossing flie had ftrengthenough to call for affiflance, they went, found her hanging by a bush in water nearly up to the chin, her infant at the bottom of the liver a fewyards from tier—flie lived nearly 24 hours, and when informed by her physician that it was impoflilile for her to furvivesmich longer, she with a fortitude, that is rarely to be met with, called her friends around her, and in a Calm but pathetic manner, gave her hand to each one, wishing them a better fate than had befallen herfelf and family ; and when af ter her speech failed, as neighbours werecon ftantly coming in, (he continued to give her hand, until about five minutes before she re signed he' breath, which was without a groan. Mrs. Threlher was about 25 years of age, of a relpeftable family, an elegant person.and polfeffed an uncommon education. On Thnrfday the 24th ult. two men were killed in Franklin, 40 horses carried off; and since the accounts publiihed in our last, all the inhabitants on the frontiers have retreated into forts, without arms or ammunition. At one meeting of near 40 persons, they could only muster five old muikets t to heighten she horror of their condition, the Indiaus were momently expe&ed.
