The following is published in an appen dix to the lecond report of the Com mittee of Secrecy, of the House of Commons of Great Britain, as a co py of an address drawn up in the London Corresponding Society, to the French National Convention. FRENCHMEN, While foreign robbers are ravaging your territories under the specious pre text of juftiee, cruelty and devastation leading on the van, perfidy with trea chery bringing up the rear, yet meicy and frieudfhip impudently held forth to the world as the sole motives of these Kicuitions ; the opprefTed part of man kind, forgetting for a while their own lufFcrings, feel only for yours, and with an anxious eye watch the event, fer vently supplicating the Almighty Ru ler of the Universe to be favorable to your cause so intimately blended with their own. Frowned upon by an op preilive system of controul, whose gra dual but continued encroachments have deprived this nation of nearly all its boalted liberty, and brought us almost to that abjedt Rate of flavejy from which you have so lately emerged, five thousand Brit iHi citizens, indignant, manfully flep fotth to relcue their coun try from the opprobium brought upon it by the supine conduit of those' in power ; they conccive it to be the duty of Britons to countenance and assist, to the utmott of theit power, the cham pions of human happiness, and to fwcar to a nation pioceedinjr on the plan yon have adopted, an inviolate friendfliip ; sacred from this day be ihat friendlhip beLweeti us, may vengeancc to the uttermost overtake the man, who, here after fhajl attempt to cause a rupture. Warm as our wilhcs-are for your suc cess, eager as we aie to behold freedom triuihjjhant,' dnd man every vvhere res tored to the enjoyment of his just rights, a fei.feof our duty as orderly citizens forbids our flying in.armsto your aflift auce ; our government has pledged the national faith to remain neutral In a struggle of liberty against despotism, Britons remain neutral! O lhame! But wi have entrulted our King with discretionary powers; we therefore mull obey* our hands are bound, but our hearts are free, and they are with you. •Let German despots aft as they pleiife, we fliall rejoice at their fall, com;Wiionating however their enslaved fubjecia. We hope this tyranny of their mailers will prove the means of reinstat ing, in the full enjoyment of their right J and liber tics, millions of our felfovr creatures. With unconcern, therefore, we view the Elcdtor of Hanover joiu his troops to traitors aid robbers ; but the King of Great Britain will do well to remem ber, that this country is not Hanover should he forget this diftindtion, we will not. » While you enjoy the envied glory of being the unaided defenders of freedom, we fondly anticipate in idea the nume rous hleflings mankind Will enjoy. If you succeed, as we ardently wi(h, the triple alliance (not of Crownj, bur) ot the people of America, France, and Britain, Will give freedom to Europe, and peace to the whole world. Dear I friends, you combat for the advantage of the human race—how well pnrchafed will be, though at the expeirce of much blood,' the globus' unprecedented pri vilege of faying mankind is free—ty rants and tyrtfhivjl are no more—peace feigns ori the earth and this is the work df Frenchmen ! , Though we appear so few at present De afttued,-Frenchmen, that our num bc r nn-reafW daily.

Tuesday morning a duel was fought in the Phoenix Park bttween MrWha ley, famous for his pedestrian excursion to' the Holy iand and a Mr. Burke, of 1 the county of in which each of them fired a pistol without any efieft The quarrel arose st Daily's from the latter, aifcing the foimer why he flared at him ?

This bro't on abusive language, which was followed by a blow from Mr. Burke, when a challenge ensued—On the ground, the gentlemen flood at twtlve paces distance and both fired together, Mr. Burke fired his piltol in the air, and they were afterwards reconciled t« each other/ PHILADELPHIA, OCTOBER 7. The Committee appointed by the citi zens at their late meeting to carry into ef tedt the resolutions for flopping the inter- Course between this city and Baltimore, have had a meeting, to consult on tl.e uieafurei proper to be adopted pursuant to their appoihtment—They have written a letter to the chief tnagiftrate of the Town of Baltimore including the resolutions and exprcfSng the regret of the citizens at being compelled by the neceffit? of the cafe to have recourl'e to this painftil mea jure " the committee have taken the proper ftepsto execute the resolutions, by applying to the proprietors of directors of the land and water stages and requefling that thev would difcontmue the plying of thole wages until in the opinion of the Commit tee the bufmefs may be resumed' without endangering the health of the inhabitants of this city—They have also taken mea lures for providing the neceflary guards at the Ferries—Provision i» jJfo to he made for tli# temporary accommodation of such paflengers as may arrive, not knowing that the intercourse is interrupted.

Extraß of a Idler from Baltimore, 4th OBtber, written by a person of respec tability, and a Merchant there. " THE fiekuefs heitj till Tuesday lad, had become very alarming ; on that morning the weather took a favourable change, which has since put a Hop to the disorder, and I have not since Wed nesday heard an instance of any persons being taken with it ; in Ihort, we are now, thank God, in our usual state of health.—The mortality was much the greatest on Fell's Point; and it was only j a few days before the alteration of the J weather took place that it became alarm ing in town.—The merchants carried ofF by it, and other ficknrfs from the wharves were, Moses Morcau, John Griffith, Benjamin May, and Jofiah Crofby. It will, I expetV, take a few weiks to eftahliih the usual intercourse in our trade with the Country, which has so much decreased and ilagnated out markets, it is difficult to define tbem—and it has oecafioned the great est cmbarraffments and defects in pay ments at our Banks, that has been known since their establishment." Letter! ta. received by the ship Ameri can Capt. Coit (fays the (New-York) Columbian Gazetteer) state that Mae (tricht had been carried by storm by the French—that on the 13th July the Prus sians had furiered a defeat with the loss of 1000 men—That Robespierre, in attempt ing a didtatorihip, had failed, and fulfer ed the weight of the guillotine. The (loop from Guadzloupe is said to have some difpatehes for the French minis ter, the captain of which informed capt» Smale at th<; Fort yelkerilaythat the French were ftiii in possession of Point Fetre, and that the Bntilh were continually bombard ing it.' I Sunday last John Barry, Esq. failed for St. Mary's River, ( Georgia) in the! brig Schuylkill, capt. Knox, tor the purpoie of expediting L he cutting and coHctfing of the timber for the frigate to be built by Mr. Jofiiua Humphreys, and of which he has been appointed- to the command, and has carried with him the different moulds for Ihaping and fixing the wood, previous to its being lent to the thip yard. On Friday Lft, as a ferry boat, (in which were a coach and several horses) was doffing from Cooper's Ferry to this city, a fiaw oi wind heeled the boat so much that the horfei fell to the leeward, and ovi-riet her.

The follow mg is all that can pojjibly be given in the time previous to the paper', gain* to press. 4 C?" From verbal information from Captain Coit, we learn that Robespierre is beheaded.—This info, mat ion was communicated to him by an officer of a French Frigate which boarded him nine daya after he left the Downs. It is said he was executed for the assumption of too great a degree of didatorfhip. i here were two French frigates in company with the one that boarded p ap, . a ' n £ort» who had in tow„ a lat r e ' ngidh (hip. which they had captured. Ihe day preceding, Captain Coit paf led through a very large fleet, nndcr convoy of three English frigates, bc fides several other veflA of force. Several of the passengers in the shove vellel, lay, that the melt prevalent be- ' ' *•- Kef in Eiigl.nd vvaf, tlr.tUe r,c.,d. would, without much «oiff»c«ltv, n.i.ti nue toprogrefs into their enemy's domi. mons, till they had completely got rof lemon of all Holland. LONDON, August i. There is ho news whatever from the British troops ; but we are foiry lo ! taill hat a detachment of Prince Cvbouro'J jrmy has been defeated near Maeftricht ay the French : and it is said that a fo reign Prince was killed. The 88th regiment is fafdv arrived »t Bergen-op-Zoom, from Jerky. Wednesday a Cabinet Council was held at lord Grenvllle'i office, at whxh the Bavarian Minister was pretcnt. The principal business, it is said, related to the taking of 30,000 Electoral troops into tlie British service and pay, to be employed 011 the continent. From Liege, July 19, we learn, "that Namur was evacuated yesterday; the garrison marched to Hoep. The Austrian artillery and gunners from Nainur are palling through this city at this moment, and the French entered that place yesterday without the fmalleit oppolition. The Imperial army under the Prince of Cobourg is still in the fame pofitioh." All the accounts that have been re- ceiTed from the Continent concur i& stating, that the French are colledting an immense force in the Netherlands for the purpose of invading Holland. The defence of that Republic will most pro bably be undertaken by the Dutch and British troops only. Liege had been abandoned ; and th« people, it is said, immediately after the departure of the Prince Biftiop, s ent a deputation to the French inviting them to take poflfellion of that city. The fucceflfes of the French on the Rhine are so complete, that Frankfort, Manheim, and Mentz, are in dangei, and several of the inhabitants have re- tired with their eftcitg. Others, who | were preparing to follow their example, have been prevented by a proclamation iflued by the French General, who pro mises that no one {hall be moleited in his property. The following narrow escape of tlie Duke of York has hitherto been unno ticed. As he was palling over a small river by means of a plank, a foldicr sud denly came behind him, brushed by him, and reached the opposite bank. The duke flopped, (truck with indigna tion at therudenefs of the soldier; but his indignation was quickly turned into gratitude, when he saw the man's head carried off by a cannon ball, as soon as he had left the plank, The attack which the French lately made upon the Prufiians in the neigh borhood of Kaiferflatitern, was perhaps the mod desperate and bloody of the whole campaign. They followed it up from the 9th of the month, day after day, till Sunday the 13th, from which lime, till the Wednesday following, the Pruffiant had not a moment'* refpits ei ther night or day. The numbers of the French encreafed to 180,000 at least ; and in their latter atta«k, they rufhtd up t'j the Prufiian cannon with as much indifference as if they had not been loaded, carrying the whole at the point of the bayonet, killing or wound ing every artillery officer except one ; and almost compkuly annihilating the Pruflian army. August 4. , 1 ' le French are have marched into Antwerp at 3 o'clock P. M. on Wednesday the 23d ult. The Duke of York marched from it nearly at the fame time. There is an account received by the way of Frankfort, that Landrecy fur tendered to the French ou the 14th of last month. Our letters from the army mention nothing of the reported defeat of the Prince of Saxe Cobourg—A detach ment of his army, we believe, fufFered a little ; bnt there was certainly no ge neral defeat. The army under the command of that Prince, by the last ac counts, was at Foron le Compte, a post about two or three leagues to the S. E. of MaeHricht ; and his heavy artillery was withdrawing towards Dufleldorff. Died, on Saturday last, at Cromwell House, aged 36, Richard Burke, Esq.
