ODE, \
for the Fourth of July, 1794. j
In early times, e're luxury had birth, j
Rough Independence rul'dthehappy ,
earth ;
His sons a hardy race, innur'd to toil,
With nervous arm plough'dup the stub- ,
born foil :
Beneath their sturdy labors soon was
seen
The barren defart cloath'dwith cheerful
green:
Bent was the oak, the quarry's depth
explor'd,
And att and science beam'd upon the
world.—
Then, great in peace, no wild ambiti
ous dream,
No thirst of empire bid man's bosom
stream;
In virtuous quiet pafs'd their days away,
Bright and unspotted as the noontide
ray
But soon refinement stole upon the
world.
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«.
Immortal powers! whose cheering smiles
impart
1 he best emotions to the human heart;
Columbia's Sons with fav'ring influ- cec

The expe&ation of the publie had R
been raised to the highelt pitch by the I'JS
bills announcing the tragedy of Cvm- ll!
beline, for the benefit of Mrs. De tli
Marque and Mr. Bliffet—the name of
Mrs. Whitlock against the character of
Imogin, was filfficient to ensure a full
house—great was the disappointment
when they found the iutc.-cled piece ai
was deferred. 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.

n
Mr. Fenno,
' . 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."

Anniversary of Independence.
f, Yesterday commenced the nineteenth
h- anniversary of American Independence.
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

{[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. Clairfayt, of the p
combined forces, had met with a terri- fc
ble defeat, 5000 men were said to have ir
been killed—also that he had been una- r<
ble to rally the remainder of his army, h
which before the battle consisted of ti
30,000 men. 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.

WORCESTER, July 3.
On Tuesday, last week, the follow

the paper-mill in this town. The work
e men had been prefling a post of paper.
II The screw of the preis, which was new,
0 when it was released, did not, as usual,
>- immediately rife. One of the workmen;
'y Mr. Micah Haven, took a hankfpike
t- to start it back: the moment he applied
■>- the handspike to the screw, it is fup
is posed, it rofeof itfelf, and with such
velocity as to cause the handspike to
le make a large dent In the fide of the press,
c - and rebounding, ittuck Mr. Haven in
s » the fide of the head, atid broke his scull,
■it several pieces of which was extracted.
>y He lived until Thursday evening, and
a * then expired. We hope this melancho
:s > ly event will be a warning to paper-mak
ers to be careful.
NEWBURYPORT, July 5.
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

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

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;

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.
