And through each breast her baneful poison hllrl'd. Then rage to rule, insatiate love of gold, For which the lives of millions oft were fold, Fill'd every breast; war's desolating train, In terrible array, spread o'er the plain ; Her iron scourge then proud oppression wav'd, And tyrant man each finer feeling brav'd ; Relentless to the fnff'er's piteous moan, Through blood and horror ' waded to a ' throne.' —Then wide her wings affrighted vir tue spread, To happier climes with Independence fled: On this blest foil they fix'd their sacred feat ; Here found from mad-mis-rule a fafe re treat ; Here rais'd the awful fane of Liberty, And rooted firm fair Freedom's death less Tre«.

The exertions of Mrs. t j, De Marque to merit the favors of the public, deserved a reward—the enter tainments were adapted to please, and her excellence in dancing cannot be dif- g puted—with regret therefore the small- al ness of the company, aflembled the lalt q night,at the theatre, was contemplated —however it is hoped the lady will fa vor us with a concert, as Mr. De Marque it an excellent musician, and there is every reason to hope {he will receive a fubilantial proof of the libe- w rality of an American audience. The following contains aTh IRD opini on, on the character of Danton, publified in the General Advertifei. a We have already stated that, as far as I we could collect from the Paris Papei s, f] the execution of Danton appeared to be v rather theaftof his rivals for power,than e the consequence of any plot oii his part x to subvert the Republic. Some of the t French Emigrants in this country are i of a different opinion. They represent : him as the leader of a party for rector- t ing Royalty ; lament his death as the t greatest misfortune that has befallen i their cause since the beheadingof Lotiis XV I. and hint that the assassination of ! Robefpiere would be of more import- ; ' ance than subsidizing the King of Pruf- ; fia. On such points we are ready to ad- i ' mit that their information most be bet- ter than our's.

In the General Advertiser of yester day, among the Toalls given at the e meeting of Captain Barker's regiment on the 4th iuftant, I was surprised to meet with the following: " The op pofers of an American Excise—may £• their opinions and meajures become the con tempt of Freemen." As, from the com re plexion of the reft, it is impossible this sentiment could have been intended. Whether this was the mistake of the person who formed the toasts for the oc casion, or merely an error'of theprefs, in ' m P°®ble for me to determine; but if owing to the latter, surely he may fay to the Prliiter_as Balak said to Ba lam, " I took thee to curse my enemies, and behold thou haft blessed them alto gcther." ,a v Yours, &c. ; r .

On such an occasion the citizens of the United States could not restrain the im es pulfesof feftivity and joy which anima ted their breads. From the accounts t; received of preparation, we are convin- ced that the tfelebratioi) of the day has froi been commensurate with the continent, gar In this town, ever foremoft in difplay3 was of patriotism, the anniversary was noti- fior ced with becoming civifm.—At 12 enh o'clock, an oration was delivered at the OH B.ick Meeting-House, by John Cf Phillips, E':i i which with a recur rence to firlt ; itiples, wereconne&ed Ex those maxims, which, if followed, will ensure to the States, union, « tranquility and happiness. The fu- att; pre me executive, with various other of- g n , ficers attended this oration, and were ef- Jf corted from the Council-Chamber by ] an the Independent Cadets, commanded wa by Col. Bradford. p U ] Capt. Bradler announced the dawn, the zenith, and the close cf the aufpi- ,^ e , cious day, in various parts of the town, rer with federal dilchargesftom his artillery. t And was accompanied therein by the rea patriotic citizens of Liberty-Square. j u s Several companies of the firft regi- to ment paraded in honor of the day ; and crl the society of Cincinnati held theii fra ternal amoiverfary, at Concert-Hall. In fliort, every description of citizens, j e were emulous to give an eclat to the day, ce j worthy of those who have experienced q the blcflmgs attendant on the memorable Declaration, which the sages of A- t |, merica pronounced onthe 4th of July, jj] ; 1776, which ascertaining the sacred p <: Rights of Man—with the rapidity of L ], lightning is extending, and will extend its influence throughout every acre of | la the habitable world. m — flc Prom London—May 8. f,-j {[Communicated in a letter. J ar " I left Amsterdam on the 22d, ult. and arrived at Oflend, on the 26th in the evening. The French are encamp ed four miles from Nieuport, which is w only nine miles distant from Oftend. It fr was reported they were in possession of re Briiges, whifch I hadjuft passed through g and that they were coming 011 towards Oftend, with speed. A report had al- hi so spread, that Gen.

The French fay their a former war in Flanders was to give the tl people an opportunity of gaining their tl liberty—Lthey rejected the opportunity, tl and are not worthy of the cause ; and as si Flanders is the feat of the war, and a shelter to the Combined forces, they will plunder arid destroy every toWn they enter, belonging to it. A small village Wa9 burnt by the French, called Fumes, t ten miles distant from Oftend, the even- ] ing I arrived there ; thirteen villages a were also on fire at once, and burnt to t ■ the ground, near Landrecies, at which r : time the French fuffered a heavy loss of 1 I men and artillery. > " Givfe irie leave to felicitate yoti i f from my hearty in your being a resident < - and citizen of a land of freedom, and t - among perhaps the only people who 1 - enjoy their liberty on the globe, &t pre- i - sent. 1 have been through feve) al of the 1 United Provinces, but find no where ■ the freedom we enjoy in America.

Yesterday arrived at this harbour, schooner Retrieve, Daniel Jackson, mas ter, 21 days from Leogan, who informs that on the ift June the forts at Port au-Prince were stormed by the English and taken—that the Brigands under Sonthonax had marched to Jacqmel— that the English fleet, consisting of two ith 74's, one 64, one 50 gun ship, and 5 ce. or 6 frigates, were preparing to attack he Jacqmel or Petit Guave, for one of m- which places they were to fail about the 11a- 25th ult. most probably the former, as «ts it contained the greatest number of in- 1 troops.—Capt. Jackson passed 4 vessels from thefouthem States, tntering Leo- tior gan, with flour, which at his departure ] was. 25 dollars a barrel,—Other provi- fl {et fions were not so much wanted §8 to p ea enhance the price materially. * vers CHRISTIANSTiED, (in St. Croix) han June 18. Extrafl of a letter from a gentleman, da- Pi ted Aiiguilla, June 15. " I suppose you have heard of the I attack, the French made on Guadaloupe, I iince the capture of it by the English— I If not, these are the particulars : They I landed 1500 men at Point-Petre, which I was guarded but by 40 British who re-1 pulsed them three different times ; but I they came on the fourth time, and car-1 a ried it—when there was but one man | am remaining in the garrison, who gave I ver three huzzas, and told them he wasl ( ready to die, after doing his country J juflice, and they immediately put him I ie to death. The French have acted very I cruelly at that place by putting to death 1 defencelefs men, women, and children, I 0 (which is a verbal report) : Admiral! a ! Jervis, who was at St. ICitts's, on re-1 ceiving the news, immediately failed for I Guadaloupe, and lias properly hemmed I id the French fleet ; the troops were on I P rl their march from other parts of the I island to attack them ; and it is sup- I posed they are completely defeated by | 1 this." P° " P. S. Since writing the above, We I en have received certain accounts, that Ad- I miral Jervis has taken the whole French I fleet at Guadaloupe, consisting of five I frigates. The whole of the French troops I are also destroyed." I g r PITTSBURGH, July 5. th Saturday afternoon last, Capt. Heath, ] Wi with a detachment of men, marched I ps from this place for Fort Fi-ankliti, to I reinforce and take the command of that I garrison. I th For these some days past a report has | di been in general circulation, that an ex-1 m press from Fort Wafliington had been I hi seen on his way to Philadelphia, who I informed, that the Indians had fur-1 rounded Gen. Wayne's army.—We are I happy in having it in our power to con- I n; tradiit this report, as a peifon immedi-1 ° atelv from Fort-Washington fays, that I f' the army is still at Greenville, and that I l! the road between Fort-Washington and I , that plaee is now travelled with greater I 1 security than at any former period. PHILADELPHIA. ; Fiom the general tenor of the Duke ] , of York's dispatches, it evidently ap-1 - pears, that 011 the 1 yth May there was J s a general attack on the French lines by I 3 the combined armies under the com-1 1 mand of the Emperor of Germany— | 1 f that this attack was unfuccefrful—the I French not only repuUlng the allies, but I 2 i in many inftarices clitting off their retreat"! t and making a great (laughter of them— I j d the Dnke of York's letter details only I 0 the loss sustained by the British troops I :- in his column, which did not probably I e con fill of more than one-fifth of the I t e whole number—the loss sustained by] 1 the Auftrians, Hessians, &c. of this and j 1 r- the other colums ir.uft have been prodi- J f- gious. t. From every apparent circufnftarice, I i- it is highly probable that the business I terminated in a general rout of the whole I combined army. The French army army under Gene-1 v . rleral Pichegrii, in this battle is stated I at to have amounted to ninety thovfand I men. :r< Affairs in England on ttie 24th May, I |V) appear to have been in a very critical I fituatidn—Numbers of persons were 1 taken up and committed, some to the I [ce Tower, others to the King's Bench I ed Prison.—The Habetls Corput was fuf-1 p. pended by aft of Parliament—Twol c b protests were entered against the mea-1 to sure on the Journals of the House of I f S) Lords—-One, figried by eight Noble-1 in men, among whom are the DukeS of 1 ill, Norfolk, Grafton, Bedford, Marquis J ; d. Landfdowne, Lord Lauderdale, &c. I n( J these protested againfl thi suspension, I 10 . as the circumflances of the country in I ik- their opinion did not render it necefla- I ry—the other protest, was made by I Lord Stanhope—on the ground that I the bill, put it in the piower of the mi-| nifters, to introduce Letters de Cachet into England. Reinforcements of all the cavalry that could be spared, were ordered to be ein- barked for the Continent, to supply the severe lofles recently sustained. [ There is an account, but it is by way wo of report only, that two days after the | - defeat of the Duke of York, General lc k Clairfait attacked the French near Cour of tray, killed two thousand, and took 25 the pieces of cannon. as It is to be remarked that the fate of of Gen. Clairfayt and his division of the Pels army in the previous action is not men- tioned in the Duke of York's letter. For any particular fails in the above (ketch, which have not heretofore ap peared, we are indebted to Mr. Dun lap, who politely shewed the Editor f<% veral parts of the London paper in thes hands of his Compositors.
