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 '

" 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!"

The Britifii commanders in Nova-
Scotia, have given ordeis for the intire

number of the diftrefTed inhabitants of
that place arrived at Boston, in their
fifhing fmaeks.
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!

WINCHESTER, Vfrg. August 18.
By late accounts from the westward; '
we are informed, that the rioters of'
Pennsylvania do not confine their opera-';
tioiiß to their own State ; they have vi
sited Morgan-Town, and ordered the
Colledtoi there reliding to resign his of
fice and papers, or they would come and
destroy them with ail his property—
they alfofent him a letter, with a fictitious
/ignature, informing him, that on such
a right they would pay him a visit :—
on such repeated threats, the Collector,
»vith the advice of his friends, judged
it prudent to decamp—which he accor
dingly did, bringing with him his re
cords, &c. Agreeably.to their notice,
a number visited his house, the night
preceding that appointed, but luckily
were disappointed of their intended ob
ject.
We are happy to hear, that a very
few only of the Virginians approve
these rebellious proceedings of their
neighbours, and it is to be hoped their
prudence will continue to guard them
from associating in measures, that must
terminate in the punishment of those
1 persons who are guilty of such illegal
1 conduct.

The failure of the British troops a
gainst Point-a-Petrc was owing, as we
are informed, to an error in the execu
tion of General Grey's orders by Gen.
Symes, which were,to attack the heights
above Fleur d'Epee, and if fuccefsful,
to fire a rocket, as a signal to General
Grey who intended to ftoriti the fort in
petfon;—but unfortunately after the
British troops had gained the heights
without the loss of a man, and upon the
appearance of wtoom, the French aban
• doned Fleur d'Epee. General Synics
marched against the town, cxppfed to
i the incessant fire of grape-(hot from two
6 pounders, and notwithstanding the
number of the killed, Britifti courage
I surmounted every obstacle, and actually
took the iwo pieces of cannon ; but up
on entering the town, they were fired
at from the roofs and windows of houses,
as well as from cannon planted in almost
. every street, which annoyed the tioops
, so much that they were constrained to
retreat with considerable loss in killed
t jj and wounded.
We are informed that the French at

From the. Baltimore Daily Advertifcr. £r
Mr. Edwards,
ro c
THIS town lias been foi'fomemonths
under the lcandal that tw,o riati were _
committed tlievein, in noon-day.; but
time, that always discovers the truth,
has vindicated our reputation, and prov- T
ed that the reports were void of foun
dation in truth. 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<fted with great ordtr and decency, 11
and to the great pleasure find entertain- °
ment of all the citizens (except a few t
proud atiftocrats) who cordially joined k
in approving, by huzzaing and other a
tokens of applauie. The hrft man w?s p
ornamented with a coat of tar and sea- j y
thers, for insulting the majesty of the j
'people of America, by reverting the 11
American flag. No law has appointed
any punillimeijt for such infamous coio
dnft; and the people alone had the
right to determine the guilt of the ac
cuftd, <tnd to inflidt What puniflvment
they pleased. The second man was an *
American pirate >• 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. My signature is
] despised bv the well-born paper Lords,
, and proud ariilocrats, but I glory in

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.
