ihi' they are inverted by the strongest 1 puwers in Europe, who are trying every j tEhig that force and treachery can do, to 1 tttablift despotism in France—while a nu - merous host of nobles, clergy and their ad- ' hereon are continually confpiriug against ' the Republic : No one must wonder at ' the frequent executions, or ai the arbitrary ' power now exercifcif in Frauce ; but when t'ue Combined Powers are considered to be tile causes, every must be in «liiied to pardon the French for the effects. " While the horrors of war are raging with unexampled violence 011 the fton- J tiers of Eiance, a new scene is opening in the Republic of Poland. You will have heard before this reaches you, of the infurre&ion which took place on the 17th of April ; the object of which appears to be the re-establishment of the Conftittftion of May 1791, and the recovery of tile territory torn frornthem by the cruel hand of defpotiftu. The latest accounts ■ from Poland, state the insurgents (as they are yet called) to be very numerous, and it is said by sortie the patriotic General in chief, Kofciufcovv, will fuon have und.ir his command 200,000 men. " General Kofciufcow has served under the banners of liberty in our ar my. He in laid to pcfTefs great military talents ; and to be as prudent as he is brave. With thef.- qualities, actuated by patriotism, and aided by a brave people, there is great reason to hope he will be l'uccefsful, and prove the Wash ington of Poland, and 1 am sure there is no harm in faying God grant it!"

Gome particulars of William Newton, Esq. an Engltjh gentleman, formerly Col. of the National Guards ; lately beheaded at Paris. THIS unfortunate vi&im to national vengeance was born in tire county of Northumberland of a most reputable family ; his military ardor soon pro cured him a commiilion at an early age. The war breaking out soon after be tween Ruilia and Sweden, he went over and entered himfelf a volunteer under the banners of the Black Eagle. He soon - had an opportunity of dif}ingui(hing himfelf in the memorable naval combat between tho r e powers ; his courage and prowess though hemmed in on every fide by the enemy was the theme of all the Ruffian soldiery, which coming to the ears of the Emprefe she rewarded him with the cross of the order of Merit. He however soon after retired in dis gust from the jcaloufy of a brother offi cer, and went over to Sweden, whete he was soon recognized, and his military genius made known to the King, v who appointed him to the command of a division of a fleet of guii-boats then ac tually under failing orders against that of Russia whose service he had just quitted. Here again he signalized his valor under the eye of majesty, he was even charged with temerity, but that temerity was so tempered with judg ment, followed by such a complete vic -tory over an enemy much his superior, that his Swedish majesty conferred on him personally a mark of royal favor. The campaign finifhing, he returned to England but could not succeed in his militaay career of honor. The Revo lution taking place in France, we soon after finding him petitioning the Con vention for a grade in which he fuc ceeficd, and he was appointed a Colonel ' in the national guards ; his conduit caught the attention of Gen. Santerre, who remarking his republican senti ments, and finding him a Bon Vivant like himfelf, appointed him with Du- Gazon the comedian, his aid-du-camp, and he. accompanied Santerre during the execution of the king. War being soon after declared against England, he gave up his commiilion and retired with a pension of twelve hundred livres a year—since when, we hear nothing of hirrt more than that of his living a recluse life, among a few Selects. He was fond of his bottle, generous to his unfortunate country men,—open in his sentiments—perhaps unguardedly so at the present crisis— giving way to spontaneous opinion— perhaps his only crime—A; f' m pb nega tived !—and yet France is a free coun try ! 1!

At the late cvtninal court, the chief justice gave in chaige to the grand jury, to inquire after all perfens concerned ill two riots, which he laid had taken place in this town on the fir ft and lecond day of May la ft, m and then learnedly explained the law J 1 refpefting riwts. A great number i.f in witnefles were sworn to the Jury, and C after a long and diligent inquiry, no : '" man was discovered who had any hand in any offence against the laws, which 11 could be called a riot, or any breach je of the peace. Indeed, Mr. Edwards, cf I always confide? Ed the report »i a ! scandal on the town, and calculated "to a injure its reputation for good order, peaceable and quiet depoFtmciit, and b obedience to government and its laws. e ) It is nof denied (for it was pub'ulhcdin 11 our newspapers) that two men were 11 cat ted through the streets, tarred and d feathejed, on the morning and after- '' noon of tlie-iirit and second day of May ei last, but all the citizens can , teftify that it was done without any disorder, much a less a nut. The whole affair vas con- y du• he had been in a Bri tish piivateer, and afiifted to plunder c his American brethren. It was not v known whether his crime was pnniftla- * ble by any law, but it Was very evident that no ptlnifhment could btinfli&ed in time to fatiafy the feelings of an en raged and virtuous people. A judge may call any a£t of the people hj pleases a riot, blit his tpje dixit will not make it so. It is our happinels to live undef a government in which a grand jury have a right to differ in opinion from a learned judge (and so the chief justice ■ declared in his chaige) and that too ' without fear of fine or imprifoumeiit. | A grand jury is composed of men who profefs the fame feelings with their fel low-citizens, dnd they will always be cautious how they expose their friends and neighbours to fine and imorifonment by judges who may, in some instances, be disposed to gratify their personal re butments, under a pretence of supporting the laws. I never did beleive that any witnefles w ould appear against captain St—d—r °r Captain St—l ; and I should have been very sorry to have seen L W, 1 W, WP, and G H, the four men who applied the tar and feathers, expofsd to i heavy fines and long imprisonment, to the ruin of themselves and families.—» I hope there will be no occafn.n for the i people to adminftef justice to the refu i gees, British sgenta, ariftnciats, and i other enemies ot America, but when . necessary, I hope tluy will not be . intimidated by an angry rigid judge, but rely on the integrity and patriotic . spirit of a grand jury.

To the Printers oj the Kroxvilic Gadeltf * Gentlemen, The publishing the following account of a wonderful animal, lately discover ed in the Cumberland Mountain, may be acceptable to the curious, and oblige a constant reader, it being a fact. IN February last, a detachment of mounted infantry, commanded by Capt. John Bfaird, penetrated fifteen miles into the' Cumberland Mountain : On Cove Creek, enftgn M'Donald and ano ther man, in advance of the party as spies, they discovered a creature about three steps from them ; it had only two legs, and flood almoil upright, cover ed wirh scales, of a black, brown, and a light yellow coloui, in spots like rings, a white tuft or crown on the top of its Ivead, about four feet high, a head as big as a two pound stone, and largi eyes, of a fiery red. It flood about three minutes in a daring pollute, (orders be ing given not to fire a gun except at In ■ diansj Mr. M'Donald advanced and ft ruck at with his sword, when it jump- * ed up, at leall, eight feet, and lk on the famefpot of ground, fending forth a red kind of matttr out of its mouth refeorbling blood, and then retreated into a laurel thicket, turning round often, as it it intended to fight. Tile tracks of it resembled that of a goose, but larger. The indiars lepo'vt, that a creature inhabits that part of the mountain, of the above deltrption, ! which, by its breath, will kill a man, ' if he does not instantly immerse hirtj'felf in water.
