GENTLBMkN, In declaring to you the genuine fa tisfaftion I derive from vour very cor dial addrels, I will not mingle any ex preffior. of the painful sensations which I experience from the occasion that has diawn me hither. You will be at 110 loss to do judice to my feelings. But relying on that kindness of Providence toward our country, which every ad verfc appearance hitherto has served to manifeft, and counting upon the tried good sense aa<? pat riot ism of (he great body of our feilow-citizeiis, I do not hciitate to indulge, with you, the ej pictation of such an iflue, as will fcrve to confirm the blefiings we enjoy, un der a conftitutiim that Well deserves the confidence, attachment and support cr.' virtuous and enlightened men. To class the inhabitants of Harrilburgh a mong this number, is only to bear tes timony to the zealous and efficient ex ertions, which they have made towaids the defence of the laws. G. WASHINGTON. OcL 4, 1794.. NEW-YORK October ij. The Prussian Minister lias formerly declared to the Diet of Ratilbnn, that his sovereign will not execute his treaty with the maritime powers, for a tupply of 60,000 auxiliary troops. This de claration announces a fatt of the utmofl confeqiicuce in the prefeut Hate of Europe. A report prevails in Vienna that Spain is on the point of making peace with France. The dates of Holland and Weft Friefland on the 26th of July came to a invasion to the utmost of their power. This resolution was communicated to the deputies of the other states, whe concurred in the fame. Many of the Merchants of Amfter damare determined not to quit that city i but to pursue their occupations, and rifle their lives and properties with the Freneh, in cafe they (hould be compelled to submit to their pow er. The celebrated Madam Necker died lately at Bern in switzerland, after s long illness. The French were making preparati ons the beginning of Aug lift, to com mence the siege of Turin. The plan of Mr. Pitt was to starve France. Yet instead of this the Frencli Privateers have taken probably fronr the British merchants more provilions than the Britilh privateers have taken it: neutral veflels bound tb France ; and her armies are now feeding upon the rich harvests of the Palatinate and the Austrian low countries. The _ Ihe l<*te proclamation of Lis moll gra cious Majelty the King of Great Bri tain it is fuppofcd in lingland, will be quite fatitfiitory to the A mericans who hare loft their velTels and cargoes. Yet tverv one knows that the expenses of P'irfiiing an appeal in the Admiralty of Britain will amount to more mo ney than moil of the cargoes fold for in hi Weft 1 ndics. The permission there ie trill be considered as a rood graci n manner of adding insult to rob bery. remarks. ' The opinions of the Trench are iW.jjcrons," fay the Combined powers. And what then ? Are opinions to be .. • i extirpated by the sword ? Just so said the ancient Pagans : Christian do&rines are dangerous and Chriflu'is must be exterminated.—Then followed burning fniothciing and cruci.ixion andall tiie horrid works of deatli, to lerve God and save the state. ' " Ariftocratical notions are dangerous fay the French Jacobins ; aristocrats therefore must be exterminated—t"he fl&ves of tyrants must be destroyed— and every man who has anti-civic opini ons mult be taken off. Thus to fatx the republic, as they fay, and to preserve liberty, one part of rhc citizens mult lose both liberty and life. Streams of blood and hundreds of families flapped of property and ddomed to wretched ness, are tremendous, proofs of a free government, most dreadful harbingers to usher age of reafun. But the Jacobins ibfitl that the rrien who fuffer afe traitors If this is true of all or most who fuffer the axe, it is a proof indubitable that the government is b.-.d. It is the last reafoa that a Ja cobin should afiign for such bloody work ; for it i-. i fulcilin truth, as old as the earth and as extenlive as nations that a good government never produces numerous trtafons. Sd far from it; that men from the earliest a;;es have chosen to submit to many political evils/ and bear with governments tolerably good, rather than rebel or betray their coun try. Individual treasons and ludden in furre£tions-have fpiung up in the bell governments from local or temporary cauiss ; but-in no good government,has there ever been a fuccefioa or continu ation of treasons. The numerous instances of treason in France, if real are a certain unequivocal proof that the Revolutionists have put the knife too deep into old ellablilhments —remedies have been too violent—too much property, too many rights have been violated ; This is the fadh One violent flep led to a fedond— a second to a,third ; till the"fujKefer.i became nu merous and demanded juftue. Cruelty aud violence raised bppofition, oppofiton ended in and Lyons, Marfejles Toulon, and La Vt.idee will tell the rell. The rebellion in the Southern Depart ments of France was not excited origin ally by rcfyalifm or aristocracy ; tho the royalilts joined it ; but it was raifid by republicans who dettfi mined to fct the Cc/nvjntiim free from the influence of a Paris banditti who ii'ied the galeries and governed the debates ; ithiswas the ori ginal and true c?uf_\ Yet the Jacobins have tried to make the world believe (bat the mental war was the work as traitors. jlm. Minerva. From the American Daily Adveri'tfer of this morning. The following is the oopv of a rcte morandum of Captain 1' itzpatrick, of the (hip Adriana, and contains all the intelligence in circulation at the time of hii' failing from Amltcrdam. " The Prince of Cobourg, with his army, lay between Liege and Treves, with an intention to retake the latter, or oppose the progress of the French aimy. The Duke of York, with the Britilh army, lay between Antwerp and Breda, and tht X)utch army were mov ing in different bodies to Bois le Duo, Breda, and Bergen op Zoom. The French were beiieging Sluys, and had taken the forts of Fnilipin and Efille, near Sluys, by which tFiey have render ed the inundating the country useless. A Dutch officer who arrived at the Hague, brought an account that the garriibn of Sluys were provided with all forts of supplies in plenty, but that the number of men was inefficient to make a very great defence. This officer came to demand a teinforcement of men, which if not granted the Dutch General, Vander Duyn, would be oblig ed to give up the glace.—The French, with the affiltance of some of the inha bitants of Liege, had taken the suburbs of that city, but General I-at our erect ed a battery on the hill of Chartreuse, which obliged them to withdraw, after which there was an engagement between the French and the Auflrian General Krag, the former loft a considerable number of men. Thi» a&ion was fought between I.lege, Macltricht and Tongres, and the French were forced back to Tongres.— French, after some at tempts on Marzig, obliged the Austrian army to leave that post, and then ad vanced to Treves, which they took without resistance the 7th August. Tfie loss of this place obliged the Prince of Cobourg, and the Piuflian General Mollendorff, to fend a large body of their troops to defend the neighboring country of Juliars and Berg A dra goon of the regiment of Austrian La tour, who made his escape from Valen ciennes, informed that this garrison, and that of Ceude, were well supplied. The the communication between the 2 towns was open. That the Auflriqji cavalry made frequent excurlioua t«t Mons a.d Ath, in pufTtffion of the Fiench, which ojcaiioncd fkirniifties.'— near Valenciennes, is believed by the French under General Jourdan, but not yet tak en.—The French army, it is said, are under good dilcipline. The different towns they have taken were obliged to pay large sums as contributions —An- twerp paid five millions of guilders in specie—No engagement lately, as the combined armies were not in lutficient force to meet the French. Six French frigates were cruizing in t'le north sea, which obliged the Dutch to order three frigates to moor in the narrowed en trance to the Texel, to protest the pas sage." The mate of the barque Neptune, which failed from hence a few days ago, in letter dated* New-York, Oitobcr 13th, fays, " Off the high lands of fJererfink, we had the misfortune of meeting with two Britirti 74's, and a 64, whoprefTeii all our hands, which I fay left iw at the rtiercy of the lea, S©ne of oar people grave them information of the Frencq frigate lyingj in the frream at upon which the Admiral ordered one t>f the 74/s to ctuifc off .the .Delaware, and wait her coring, cut."

" We arrived at this place after a fatiguing march of 18 miles ; and, ge nerally speaking, 1 cannot but fay, we have experienced a friendly disposition from the inhabitants of mod of the towns 011 our march ; though £ome places thro' which we hav« paifed, ap peared to be more holtile to the present expedition than others. One man at a little Dutch village* called Myer's- Town, between Lebanon and Reading, behaved so imprudently, in a tavern where Ibme of our offieershad (topped, as to huzza for the Whijley Boys, and uttered many other indecent and sedi tious expressions—Our officers desired him to go about his buluicis •, but he still pel lifted, till he was ordered to be taken under guard—ha swore that he would not leave the room till be had (jrank his liquor ; the guard infilled ; and one of them seized him and attempt ed to bring him forward, but the fel low instantly caught hold of the soldiers bayonet and used every effort to wrest it from him. A conteit ensued, in which the soldier dabbed him in such a man ner that he expired in the course of half an hour. This circumstance, as you may readily suppose, soon created the greatest consternation in the town ; a villain immediately dispatched a meflhgg into the country, with what view we did not know, but apprehending that his intention was to give information to others of the fame that an attack might polGbly enf'.ie, the Co lonel determined to feeure him, and for that purpose had him instantly put un der guard, and we marched lum on with us. A flanking party of 16 men was forthwith ordered out, and we (be ing without ammunition) were directed to be\ prepared for an initantaneous I charge in cafe of an attack : The in habitants w.-ie extremely anxious, that the soldier iliauld be delivered up to the civil authority ; and even (cut 011 con il ablet to Harntburgh for that pmpoie ; but, I beiieve (under the circumstances of the cafe) our regiment would have died to a man rather than that (hould have taken place. ' The person who wrf> brought to town yesterday from Carlisle, and committed to jail, is named John Cre/j<iueii. Died last Saturday, after a snort iilnefs, Mr. Charles White, merchant of thitcitv, of the houle ot W-'titter, Adgate and White.

Clairfayt, with General Beaulieu, and Colonel Mack for Qimrter-Ma Iters. It is reported at Aix la Chapelle, that the Commons of Brufi'els aiTembed on the aßth of July, and voted for an incorporation with the French Repub lic. There have been great tumults at Barcelona in Spain, and blood has been (hed by the populace. The Landgrave of Hefie-Caflel has put all his fubje&t in a state of requifi- tlOll.

Thirteen fail of vefTels were reported in one day at Lloyd's Coffee-Houfe, as taken by the French j tbe property of them valued at 100.0001. Iterling, was insured ; bnt the fa£t does little honor to the victorious fleet of the Englilh; or rather the Minister who manages that fleet. A London paper makes merry with the English for their alarm about Jacobinil'm ; by Hating that an eminent Dentiit has lately been examined by the Privy Council on a charge of procuridg the teeth ofFrenchSans Culottes and transplanting them imo the jaws of his majefty'j liege fuhjedts—thus planting the trees of liberty in their very jaw bones. This, if true, seems to be a praflice of cramming Jaccbmifm down their throats in spite of their ttetb.
