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

the firft opportunity had been taken to
wait on him agreeable to their diredti

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.

Thro' the favor and patronage of the

thanked for the favors already bestowed —
continuation of them is solicited.
As the expence of the publication is aug
mented, without an enhancement 1 of the
annual fubfeription— and the size of the
paper will admit not only an addition to
the miscellaneous articles of news, politics
&q. but also of advertisements, the
1 Editor requests a further participation in
. the advertising liberality of the
Public.
The following very intereding article,
was received by the Csfar, Captain
Bell, from Li(bon :
Tranjlation of the Declaration of the
Court-os Portugal.
Having certified with all certainty in
I the Royal presence of the Prince our
i Lord, that the Truce between this
; court and the regency of Algiers was
■ broken, our said lord was pleafed*to or
-1 d»in that the war with the said regency
- (hould be continued as fqimerly; for
1 that purpose taking all pofiible precau
tions that the Algerine corsairs should
not pass into the ocean, which the roy
- al board of commerce, agriculture, ma
nufe&ures arti navigation commands to w
be made public by this present ediiS. I;

miles from the mouth ; three men were
killed* and one badly wounded, the o
ther being crt shore, made his escape— R
one Indian Was killed'. • The boat ar
rived here the next day with the dead J
men on board—the inhabitants of this i
place took immediate measure» to have
them decently buried, and raised a gee
nerous colledrion for the present flip- d<
pcirt of the women and children $ one •'
of whom, with fix small children* had
her husband and son killed. It is sup- 0
posed this was the fame party that fired J.
on the canoe in the Alleghany. ci
The brigade infpeftors in this coun-
ty, received orders on the 30th ult, for
drafting 1000 men, in order to assist in t i
the eflablilhment of fortifications at

»crtunteimanding the orders for a draft, '
and ordering the troops raised by the e

fortifications to be erected at Prefqu'ifle, '•
not to proceed further than Le Bceuf, t
where there is already two block-hoiifes c
built and garrisoned by a small party of h
state troops, for fear of giving offence <
to our goocl friends the Six Nations.

they fell in with a fleet of Dutch Mer
chantmen, under the convoy of a fri.
gate, from CiTracoa and Jamaica (which
j last place they went into for convoy)
i bound to Amsterdam. In the evening,
the privateers engaged a large Dutch : 1
ship, carrging Bgu :s ; & 22 mem, n the ;
tear of the fleet, which they capturcd, |
after fighting an hour and an half. She
was about 600 tons burthen, and said
to be worth 150,0001. her crew fought j
with gteat bravery'; five of them were (
killed and ten wounded. ! ]
The next day about 12 o'clock, the !
frigate bore down upon the privateers, '
and Capt. Talbot finding it impra&ica- ;
ble to bring off the Dutch (hip, as (he ,
failed very (lowly, he took out all his \
men, and abandoned her. Of the above
fleet, tKey took a Dutch brig, laden
with cotton, coffee, &c. said to be a va
luable cargo, which arrived hers on Sun
day evening.
During the cruise, Capt. Talbot also
captured an English schooner, which
was ransomed ; and two Spanish veflels
in ballast, which he set at liberty.
