And what then ? Are opinions to be

the ancient Pagans : Christian do&rines

exterminated.—Then followed burning

' " Ariftocratical notions are dangerous

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

Extrad of a teller from a refpeSable vo
lunteer, in the Jersey Militia, to his
friend in 'Trenton.
" 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. '
