jfuch a measure would be unfafe, as they had observed, that the troops were uni- I Verfally favorable in their inclinations to- ] wards Madelinlky and his cause 5 and on j this account, no forces has been sent a- t gain It him. We have learnt nothing [ lately of thir Chief, except that he was 1 in the didridts of Plock and Dobtzyn, from whence he had pasTed the Vidula into South Pnlflu, ravaging *hose of 1 Soehaczew and Go in bin, and intending I to march to Petrikow. This was the I Vnore probable, a3the polt due from that c place on Friday had not arrived at War fawon Sunday. March 27. \ This Capital, at this moment, is in c the utmoll* ftaje of fermentation; and, 1 Within these few days it has afi'umed quite c a militai y afpedt. In the town, and its 1 vicinities, there are no less than 15,000 Ruffian mercenaries. The arrival of these troops is in consequence of the re fiftence of the people to the yoke, im posed oh them by the Empress of Russia. The people appear actuated by one g;lo t-ious fentiment,which breathes a lpirit 1 of pure and Unadulterated liberty. ' The Ruffian Placeman, Gen. Ingol- • drohm, who is the propietor of five thousand Ruffian slaves.has delivered an j official document to our permanent conn- ; cil. It represents the danger which threatens the King, who the people de- . clare is bo'.h destitute of patnotifm and 1 fortitude. It alio Itates, that the pre vailing confpiraty not only menaces Stanislaus, but l.igoUtrham himfelf, a.id every member of the government. In consequence of this circumftanee, th Police is charged to seize every perfo.i fufpedted of being immxal to the ex It ling government, with a promise in the cafe of refidance, of the active support from a blind, sanguinary, and bigottcd military. Yesterday advice was received, which lias considerably cheered the spirits of the Patriots. It dates, that 1800 men, commanded by M. Manget, have also revolted, and joined the army command ed by that brave and resolute Patriot, Madclinfky. The latter is now at the head of 4000 men at Nove Mialke, and several squadrons belonging to another Patriot have joined these brave fellows. On the 22d a decree paded, by winch the infur-gents are declared re bels, fubjedt to the moil arbitary punilh ments. Another circurmlance which oc c a (ions considerable alarm and anxiety here, is the official declaration communi cated by the Prussian AmbafTador, which Itafes, that a body of Proffian troops were to enter yefterilay iu.Lu. lh_; { Woywodricks or shireS of Scudomir, - and Cracovy. Numerous red caps have lately been < exhibited in the public streets, and in the Dietine held at Chelm, a refolntion has actually pasTed to adopt the French dress there. The King is guarded by Ruffian soldiers, as he is unpopular, and evendefpifeedby the Poles, lngollirolim has requelted the commissioners of the department to fend a body of Polilh troops to oppose Madelinfky, and his army of Patriots, but they have refufed. FRANKFORT, March 23. The orders transmitted to Marshal Mollendorf, to leave here only the con tingent of 20,000 men, and to march the remainder of the army back to Prussia, by way of Colonge, were so positive that several regiments have ac tually set out. Letters from Holland announce— That advices from the Cape of Good Hope have brought the news of the taking of Batavia by the French. The lips of the Orator of the Hu man Race, are clofcd forever. He was once a great man in the National Convention—but the life of a person in France is now so insecure, that tho' he is even head of a gi eat party to-day —to-morrow, he may fall beneath the axe 1 In consequence of the force which the Royalilts have again shewn in la- Vendee, the Convention has ordeied 4000 troops to march from St.Maloes, to reinforce Gen. Roffignol in the Ven dee country. LAUSANNE, March 15. The considerable purchases of cattle and prcwifions made t>y the French in this quarter, is threatening us with a Scarcity. The Senate of Berne has, in consequence, forbid the exportation of provision of every description. The sums expended by the French, in the purchase of provisions, during the pr£- sent winter, are calculated at five mil lions of specie, At the late markets of Berne they paid as much as 25 Lou is for each heifer.

Yesterday evening the committee ap pointed by the Tammany Society,' to address their congratulations to the Rev. Joseph Prieftl'ey, having reported their address and. his answer thereto, and that the firft opportunity had been taken to wait on him agreeable to their diredti on. The focie'y resolved unanimoudy the publication of their report. To the Rev. J. PRIESTLEY, t. l. d S I R, A numerous body of freemen who afTbciate to cultivate the love of liberty and the enjoyment of the happy repub lican government under which they live, a\id who for several years have been known in this cociety, by the name of the Tammany Society, have deputed us a committee to express to you their pleasure and congratulations on your iafe arrival in this country. Their venerable ancestors escaped, as you have done, from the peifecutions of intolerance, bigotry and despotism, and they woitjd esteem themielves an un wot thy progeny were they not high ly iuterefted in your fafety and happi ness. It is not alone because your various ufeful publications, evince a life devoted to literature and the indudrious pursuit ot knowledge ; nor alone because your numerous difcoverie3 in nature are so f efficient to the progrelfion of human - : but they havi* Inng-.La.ua:i\ ; you the frienS of mankind and in defi ; anee and malice, an adertor of the rights of conscience and the champion of civil and religious liberty. They have learned with regret and indignation the abandoned proceedings of those spoilers who dedroytfd your house and goods, ruined your philoso phical apparatus and library, committed to the tiames your manuscripts, pryed into the fecre's of your private papers, and in their barbarian fuiy put your life itfelf in danger. They heard you also with exalted benevolertce return unto them " blessings for curses and while you thus exemplified the undaunt ed integrity of the patriot, the mild and forbearing virtues of the christian, they hailed you vidtor in this magnanimous triumph over your enemies. You have ded from the rude arm of violence, from the road of lawless pow er : and you diall find refuge in the bo som of freedom, of peace, of Americans. You have left your native land, a country doubtless ever dear to you a country for whose improvement in vir tue and knowledge you have long diiin tereftedly labored, for which its rewards are ingratitude, injustice and banish ment. A country although now present ing a profpedt frightful to the eye of humanity, yet once the nurse of science, of arts, of heroes, and of freemen a ' country which altho' at present appa | rently felf devoted to deftrudtion, we fondly hope may yet tread back the | steps of infamy and ruin, and once more rife conspicuous among the free nations of the earth. In this advanced period of your life when nature demands the sweets of ; tranquility, yon have been constrained ' to encounter the tempelluous deep, to 1 risque disappointed profpedts in a so ' reign land, to give up the fatisfaftions 1 of domedic quiet, to tear yourfelf from | the friends of your youth, from a nu ° merous acquaintance who revere and love you and will long deplore yourlofs. We enter, Sir, with emotion and s sympathy into the numerous facrifices you mud have made, to an undertaking which so eminently exhibits our coun try, as an asylum for the persecuted and oppreded—and into those regretful sen sibilities your heart experienced when the lhore6 of your native land were lef - fenmg to your view. 1 Alive to the imprefiions of this occa _ , . .i , fion wc give y<fu & warm and hearty n welcome into these United States. We b trust a country Worthy of you; where providence has unfolded a scene as new as it is auguft,as felicitating as it is un exampled. The ertjoynient of liberty with, but one difpraceful exception per vades every class of citizens. A catho lic and sincere spirit of toleration regu lates society, which rises into zeal when the faered rights of humanity are in vaded. And there exists » fentimen?" of free and candid inquiry which dif- a dains the (hackles of tradition, promif- " ing a rich harved of improvement and the glorious triumph of truth. " We hope fir, that the great being a whose laws and works you have made v the study of your life, will fniile upon v and bless you—restore you to every dp- v medic and philosophical enjoyment,prof- J 1 per you in every undertaking beneficial to mankind, render you, as you have ' been of your own, the ornament of this c country, and crown you at lad with r immortal felicity and honor. To the Members of the Tammany Society 1 in Netu-Tork. * r Gentlemen, f I THINK myfelf greatly honored ; ® flying as I do from ill treatment in my native country, on account of my at- f tachnient to the cause of civil and reli- 1 gionS liberty, to be received with the congratulations of " a society of free- 1 men associated to cultivate the love of c liberty, and the enjoyment of a happy !j republican government." Happy would ' our venerable ancedors, as you juttly | call them, have been, to have found c America such a retreat to them, as it is f to me, when they were driven hither j ' but happy has it proved to me, and happy will it eventually be for the ' world, that, in the wife and benevolent order of providence, abuses of power J are ever dedruftive of itfelf, and favor able to liberty. Their strenuous exer- ' tions and yours now give me that asy lum which at my time of life is pecu- ' liarly grateful to me, who only wi(h to ; ' continue unmolelted those pursuits of various literature to which, without hav- • ing ever entered into any political con- 1 nexions, my life has been devoted. I join with you in viewing with re gret the unfavorable profpeft now exhi bited by Great Britain, formerly, as you fay, the nurse of science, and of free men, and w'fh with you, that the un- ' happy delusion that country is now un der may soon vanilh, and that, whate ver be the its government, it ' in-i} vie V,'nK - j- ' that is favorable to the bed intercds of i mankind, and join with you in remov-' ing that only difgraceful circumstance, which you justly acknowledge to be an ' exception to the enjoyment of equal li berty among yourfclves. That the great being whose providence extends alike to all the human race and to whose dispo sal I cheat fully commit myfelf, may es tablish whatever is good, and remove whatever is imperfect from your go vernment, and from every government in the known world, is theearnefl pray er of. Gentlemen, Your refpeftful humble servant, J. PRIESTLY.
