year 1791 the United States of Ameri

campaign would close much foonerthau

emptions that the Emperor and the
committee of Public Safety wnderltood
one another ; and we (hould not be sur

J Yesterday at noon a meflenger arrived

974 dispatches from the hon. Mr. Trevor,

ble they (hould escape.
1 e This mtffenger passed thro' Brussels,
8c fays that the Prince of Saxc Cobourg
I with his army was (till at Neivlles. The
a ~ l)uke of York, it was reported, was
"P" (till at Renaix—other teports (lated j
lo " him to have reached Grammont. His 1 '
II ' baggage and ltores had been sent down J
the Derider and Scheldt to Antwerp ;
and from Grammont he could pursue r
;UT his route in security down the banks of n
" 'hose two rivers. Of the four batta- "
"8* liiins-of Hcffians left in Tournay by
the Duke of York, two had joined him P
at and the other two were '■
f hourly expedted to arrive. They were
ies re P r laced ,n Tonmay by Austrian troops.
The messenger saw Lord Moira's
ed ? fmy Wltfl '. n two hours march of Ghent,
C , .'n the neighbourhood of which was
General Clairfait, who had already
been re inforcej by General Woimoden jy
1 some Hanoverians. He then
passed on to Bruges, where he arrived
at five o'clock on Tuesday morning. 01
at Just as he entered the town, he disco- 01
te vered that it was in the poffeflion of the C "
French, who had re-entered it on the T
J" fame morning at three o'clock. He ac
•n cordingly turned back, but was soon m i
rs after pursued some diltance by two of W [
0 the French light-horse, whom he evad
ed by turning through a wood. From f
thence he passed 011 to Flu(hirig, where °5
he embarked for England.
Every thing was quiet at Turin at his Ca
departure. The French remain in their na
former position, about 15 miles from Turin th«
but do not attempt to make any nearer ap- the
pronehj and if the government of the aru
country can but preserve tranquility at (j v

their hands, lamenting the departure

of their approaching deftruftion bv the "

under the command of Colonel de
Wurmb, who defended Nieuport, but l '°
; who will hardly be able to hold out a wi

sent ruined slate of the fortifications and
want of ammunition, should the enemy
attack it, which in all likelihood they Th
will, considering the richness of the
conquest, and the weakness of the j

We arrived at this borough on Sun
s- day last, and at the inn where we alight*
I, ed met with the three commifiioners
•; appointed by the President of the Uni
r ted States. On the road we had fre
il quent conveffations with individuals of
e i'efpc<stable char-afters, concerning the
- bulinefs alligncd us, and met with dis
couragement from every one.
i here has been a convention of com
mittees from every town/hip (excepting
1 four) in the four western counties of
thisflate, and from the neighbourhood
- of a small village called Berlin, in the
county of Bedford, being to the wefl
ward of the Alleghany mountain, and
also from part of the county of Ohio,
in the state of Virginia, at Parkinion's
ferry, on the 14th inllant, where feve
ra? resolutions were passed, a copy of
which had been taken, and by the com
mifiioners of the United States, traiif
mitted to the President, but no dupli
cate retained ; however we had learned
the Contents from some of the conven
tion, whom we met on the road before
we reached Grcenfburgb, and since we
have been here have been informed by
the commifiioners of the United States,
from memory, that the account we had
leceived wa3 accurate. The resolves
alluded to, have been printed here this
day, which is the firft time we have
feeu them.
On Monday we endeavoured to ascer
tain the fadts that led immediately so

and 17th of last month at Gen. Neville

had process to fci ve upon divers pei song

Alleghanj-, and had executed* them all
(above thirty) without mo.'eflation or
difficulty, excepting one which was
