Foreign Intelligence. LONDON, July 25. The French name may how be said io be politically extin& in the Weft as Well as the Eall Indies; and hence it is we are again induced to observe, that through every period of this eventful war, whenever GreAt Britain has acted by and for herfelf, she has uniformly been fucccfsful. By private ktters which arrived yes. terdav we learn, that tire Earl of Moi ra i« (hortly expe&ed in town, in confe quentie us a point of etiquette, which mult be determined before his Lordftiijf ■ can join the Djkeof York. It will be tccolle&ed when the Earl of Moira ac &ptcd the rank which he now holds, viz. that of Lieutenant General, that a promotion by brevet immediately took pjace'ih the< officers under his com mand : Majors were railed to the rank of Lieut. Colonels; Lieutenant Cols, were made Colonels; and Colonels Bri gadier Generals. Tlrefe officers thus railed, in a cafe of a jun&ion with his Highness, (which was uot forefeen at the time) would comma*! those in the Duke's forvice, who claim by seniority, as always has been the cafe in ihe army. As this is a matter of great delidacy, we (hall trot prefmne to advance any o piniort orr the result of rt. The French agent at the Court of Copenhagen is arrived at Paris. He is said to have accomplilhed the object of Lis ro.llionj What a grand treat and noble exhi-,j tiiion for the Emperor of Geunany J and his coadjutors, to behold several j tifoufands of the hurtian species welter ing in then gore, and legions agonizing in the pangs of death ! Such scenes are truly fublimc and worthy of the great and mighty of the earth ! Would, said Nero, the Roman people had but one j head, that 1 might enjoy the pleasure \ of feeing them exterminated at a blow ! j Would, .-i)'s one of Nero's successors, < the French Republicans were to a man j immolatrd on the altavs of religion. . Humabe fentiinents, and worthy of an , Emperor and King. A cafe of a lingular nature came on - to be argued in the Prerogative Court, b.fore Dr. Wynne, refpeding the va lidity of the will of a gentleman of for tune, who had left his eltates to perions not "related to him in bloods The will was opposed by his nephews and next of kin, upon the ground that the ieftator, at the time of the execu tion of it, was infected with a particu lar species of infinity, which produced a ftiong deitffion of mind, of which he never perfectly recover«d. It appeared in evidence, that the tes tator, at the time of his death, was se venty seven years of age, aad a gentle man diltinguiflied for many Angularities, for fifteen years previous to his he kept no fervai.t, dreiTed his Own wig, and washed his own linen. It alio appeared in proof, that up to the year 1783 he manifefted great af fection and regard for his two nephews, but in November of the fame year, he wr>s suddenly afflitted with a delu'ive imagination, which led him to believe that he was poisoned, and that his ne phew John Nicholls or his wife, had given him something of a poisonous na ture. He indulged this notion till his deaths and 110 afiurance or persuasions of medical men could remove the im prefiions from his mind. Upon all other fubjefts he was perfectly rational. Se veral years after he rvas affli&ed with this mental delusion, he gave inftruc tious for making his will, which he duly executed. / All the fubferibing witnefles to the ♦vill swore, that the teltator was in their Opinion of perfect found mind, and in full pofl'effion of hitnfelf at the time he executed it. The counsel foe the next of kin con tended, that the will ought to be pro nounced invalid, inafmuthas the testator was affli&ed with a mental delusion at the time he made it, and which made him leave his fortune to lirangers. In cases of wills, the law would not as admitted to be perfefi ly fane upon all general topics, and yet labored under a particulal" kind of insa nity, which confiftyd in a strong perlua fion that his legs were made of glass, and therefore never would walk for fear he (hould break them. After counsel were heard on the other £de, the learned Judge observed upon the whole of the evidence, and was of •pinion there was not fufficient proof of mental incapacity of the testator to an nul the will. FRANCE. NATIONAL convention. 8 Mefiidor, Thursday, June 26. The commune of Milbai'd informed the Convention, that they had deKroy ed a den of returned emigrants. ADDRESS Of the National Convention to the citi- 7.ens and the Communes of the Re public. " Citizens, ivhen the country was declared in danger, upon its call, you sent your youth to the frontiers to de fend it: for five years you have fhewjn yourselves worthy of liberty by the la crifices you have made in its cauie. The Convention do not require of you new facrifices in the present moment; they have only to congratulate you upon the abundance which iurrounds you, arid which Nature leems to have bestowed in order to crown your generous efforts ; never was your territory at any period the feat of such riches. You have in your fields fubfillence for yourselves and for your brothers, who fight for you on the frontiers, and for thole who watch over liberty iir all the Republic. The law now calk you to the preferration of so precious a deposit. When you were surrounded by perfidy and malevo lence, severe laws were nccellary to o verawe the traitors, who fought to dif tradl and rfiiflead the people in order to deprive them of fubfillence. At pre fen: when the law has removed, and punilhed the conspirators, and their accomplices, the Representatives of the people address themselves to their re publican virtues ; they entrust it to pure hands and the mod luxuriant harvelt that a free land has ever produced. It becorfieS us when daftatdly foes, defpairjj ing to subdue us by valour, havp alrea-1 dy attempted to subjugate us by famine, 1 . to reduce them again to despair, and fruftrate their perfidious efforts by fe c-uring to uurfelves all the advantages of abundance. Citizens, to attain this object We must disconcert the maiiaeu ! vres to which ntalevoknc.. - may still have j recouife ; in order , to ttrengthen our I confidence, the Convention wilh the re | sources «f the republic to be completely i afcertaintfd.—A decree hag jntt been pafled for this pvrpofe,- while it requires . every citizcn to give an account of the | produce of his kirvell, it fuggells how that obje£t /nay be attained by the most simple means. Who is hc> that while h'is brothers (hed their blood in his de ■ fence will rerufe to fubtriit to a census, which tends to secure theif subsistence ? Who is he whose heart does not defiie j a mcai.ire so salutary, and who will not I be eager.to concur in it as soon as the » intention of the law (hall be made known to him ? " If there ftiil remain among you any felfifh person so insensible to the wants of his conntry, as not to comply with the spirit of the law, or endeavor to elude it, let him be declared, let the law that moment punilh his infidelity, and let his name, unworthy to be placed among those of Republicans, be inferib ed on the fhameful lift of fufpetled citi zens. But no, citizens, the law will not find among you any individual so base. It belongs only to slaves who have no country, to insulate themselves, and think only of their petty interests. Here all Republicans are brothers, the means and the wants of the fame family are common to all its membeis. This sacred maxim is now recognized in all, quarters of the Republic; it exilled in the hearts of those worthy citizens, of those refpe&able communes, who with out even being required, have fliared, and still (hare, their means of fubYiftejice with their brothers in the neighboring departments. Such are the instances which history will collect with enthusi asm, fnch is the heroism of Republicans which ought to make despots tremble. Citizens, be tranquil, rely on your means of subsistence; in order to direst their destination, and ascertain their extent, the Convention has paiTed this precau tionary decree. The harvest is about to commence ; your fields are covered with abundance. Turn your eyes towards the country where your brothers fight against tyrants, and swear that these brave soldiers, their paients and their children whom you have among you, fhali not want the means of subsistence. Hasten amidst the labors of the harvest to prepare that subsistence, that it may be speedily sent to the armies, to thole markets where any scarcity is felt, and the armies who are in want. Let each of you be an intrepid fuperintendant, and'a faithful executor of the law : have always the Republic in your heart, on your patriotism it reposes its moll ten der solicitude." This addrefa was ordered to be print ed and diftribGted. UNITED STATES. SALEM, (Maf.j Sept. 23.

By this con veyance we have reeceived communica tions frotn our correspondents there to the 27th —'They contain nothing of material importance. T e whole com plement from Philadelphia was arrived ; the Blues were to leave Lancaster on the 28th—Col. Gurney's regiment to depart on the next day. The horse were considerably in advance. All in good health. The following General Orders, is sued on the 27 th are enclosed to us by one of our correfpo'udents ; from whom we also received a speech delivered to the officers, of the militia and inhabi tants of Lancaster county, by Gover nor Mifflin on-the 26th at Lancaster: the length of which obliges us to pod pone its insertion till to-morrow. GENERAL ORDERS. Lancaster, 27th Sept. 1794.' The Governor, intending to profe ecutc his route to Cailiflc to-morrow morning, takes this opportunity to ex press his entire fatisfadtion with the progress and appearance of the De tachments of Cavalry, Artillery and Infantry, which have reached this bo rough, from the quota of the City and County of Philadelphia, and of the County of Cheiter. The example of order, difcipiine and expedition, which they have gi en on their march, cannot fail to produce the molt beneficial ef fects ; and the Governor is happy in being able to assure them, that they will fpecdily be joined by their Fellow- Citizens from the other Counties, in eluded in the present reqiiifition. To the Militia of Lancafler County in particular, he returns his bell thanks, for the spirit and alacrity with which they are preparing to engage in a ser vice so honorable and so mtcrelting to eveiy freeman. As many faife and injurious reports are in circulation refpe&ing the state of the Western Counties, and it is proba ble, that they proceed from a desire to relax and defeat the patriotic exertions of the Militia, the Governor thinks it incumbent on him to guard his Fellow- Citizens again (I the effect of such arti fices, by llaiing that the moll anthen tic advices lately received, do not juttify any expedition of a general fuhmiffion to the laws, and that nothing but an of ficial declaration of the Prcfident's be ing fatisiied with the nature and ex tent of the submission of the Insurgents, can herv after be fufficient to warrant a difsontiifuance of our military prepa- lulions.

Another letter frorrt Baltimore, writ ten by an eminent Physician ilates, that the disorder now raging there, is high ly contagious —that the number who have died daily at Fell's Point, has en creafed from ten to tweuty—and that within thelail twenty-four hours, thirty had died—that sortie had died in the town, whose cases could be all traced to the Point—that the diiorder was spreading, and in all probability the town and point would veiy fliortly be in the fame situation.
