From a ionjaft Pitftr*
The EMPEROR's return to VIENNA;
Francis n. and the magnanimous Col.
Mack reached the vicinity oi Vienna, in
iomv\vi:at of a dolet'jl mood, looking hack
at every moment; to fee' if the trench
huifirs were not behind them, and little
tx ( .;f'ed ihe honors that awaited them
without the gates of the imperial city.
Sonjt icyal Germans, anticipltuig the
conquests of their Sovereign, had there e
rict. da triumphal arch, adorned with em
blematic figures, and covered with inscrip
tions in excellent f.at'ui. The gentle Em
pro;, who wiu shivering beneani his
cloak arid a dog-days fun, liardly knew
who was meant by a brawny Hereulej
treading upon a hy Ira j but asto Colons,
Mack, he rec9gn:Sd himfelf irtimediately
on feeing the words—" the Saviour of the
Netherlands" written over a river God,
with a trident in hi. 1 * hand making water.
Cafnri inmilto ! said the Emperor lift
ing up his bfciver to read all ipfcriptiort on
the arrh ; Ottfari inviSio ! repeated he,
puliing it down again over hit eyesi ind
i/ting for some time after in silent dud
geon.' The mighty Colonel, wTio perceiv
ed that his mailer felt something like
irony in this well intended prttfe, wilhed
much to Hop the career of this reflection,
aftd to offer a few condolatory words.
Thefubjefl, however, was so ticklilh
that he did n'ttt kitow where to begin : he
twirled his whlkeri; but if he had eradi
cated every hair on hisbeird. he would
not have found a sentence suited to the oc
cafioa ; at last, he lO'ckily thought of in
voking the German Muse, arid took up
His pipe, Which was mouldering away in a
corner »f the carriage; then prefling the
ashes with his little fi»yi,(far- the brave
Colonel never was afisid of fire) an< ad
minifierirrg the tube to his mouth, hfe drew
in an enoritioift ■whiff, full fix feet long
Rhin!and meafkire, and blew it puff into
the sacred face of Francis th« second.
The fuddsn gust of smoke, by G —d s
blefi-ng, a*ak«ned the trnperbr from
painful reverie ; but is the D—vil would
have it, it had Inch an effedl upon his
weak lungs, th*t his Imperial, and Apoftd
lic Majesty was nearly fuffocited.
By this time, the good people of Vienna,
had leanht the approach of their sover
eign, and were standing at their doors aAd
windows in expe£Utu>ri, of hearing the
horns announce nis arrival; after conquer
ing Frtrice, said the gOod people of Viert
tia, and being so long abftnt from his
wife he will certainly come back <wish
«r<u-No hoi'nj, however, could they
hear i but at length they perceived their
mighty maiter ftelling ddwn the bye streets
so the cbmlcil chamber. Aye, said the
*~Hjle of Vienna, he is njodeft, like hii
tirvcle Jolept; atfd fike him, he makes no
parade of his vudiores.
"The Council was setting—The hoary
Kaunitz finding by his la ft dispatches,
that the Empcrod had promised his
— rK TWTV- I • «r»\ ,
he had conquered French Flandtra, and
not doubting but he would fulfil his roy
al word, had called together the cou'n
fellors to make a division of the spoils
of the energy. After a short dilate,
they had determined that the Dutch
{hould have all the conquered coOhtry,
as a barriery iii the hands of their ally,
to p rot eft them from the French : that
the English {hould have all the honor-t—
of paying for it f and that the Empe
r6r fliould keep nothing but the fove
leignty and the revenues.
This disposition they made known to
Ca;far when lie entered, with manifold
congratulations on the speed of hi» tri
umphant Career.- 1 have not as yet con
quered all the French Netherlands said
the Emperor—your majesty, said Kan
nit/., lias probably taken no more than
Hainault, the Cambrefis, and Artois—
The Errtpcror shook his head—Mau
heuge at the least, is in the hands of your
troops —the Emperor {hook his head
with some impatiencc. Oh! said old
Kaunitz, 1 fee how it is ; your viftori-
Ous alfny is at Courtray and Menin,
ready to seize its certain prey—the
French army is at Menin and Courtray,
said the Emperor, pettilhly.
The French army iB at Menin and
Courtray 1 All the aged counsellors drew
t fieir chairs close to the Council Board,
planted their elbotts upon it, and reft lug
their chins upon their hands, fat look

ting ft ill, if they had not been roused
fcfr the fuddtn foundirig of a horn.
It was a meflenger from the army.

CAT-SKILL, oa. 2.
jin olTtging correfpondev.t at own,
has favored us with the following ex
tra fl of a letter from Mr. Robert New
nan, who pt'JJed through that town on
his return from captivity, to Kentucky,
where he belonged.
•» sir:,
" Being informed that you wiftied
an extract, of what has occurred to me,
since my ca£tufe by the Indians, from
General Wayne's army, in order that
you might transmit it to the Catfkill
Press—pursuant thereto, I give you
the following account:
" I was captured, returning from the
river 3t. Mary's, to Bearer Greek, a
bout 11 miles in advance of Fort Reco
very, the ill day of Augitft. My then
position, with reflect to the army, was
favorable for me, by exercising a little
art, and telling a story, to mitigate the
barbarity, and avert the cruelties, which
prisoners generally experience when tak
■cn by the favogva. But it will be n£.
ceflary to trouble the community with
those things which only concern me and
the Indians.
" They asked me a number of questi
ons to which I replied in a manner that
1 supposed mod likely to fee ure my own
eafc and fafety amongst them. They
themfelve made but very little enquiry
concerning General Wayne's army, or
his intentions. I was from thence hur
ried away to the Delaware towns, a lit
tle examined, and generally believed to
be their friend. From thence to the
foot of the Rapids of the Miami of the
Lake, where Col. M'Kee lives. He
made every enquiry, concerning myfelf,
General Wayne, and the state of his
army ; and as he seemed to want to gain
of me a great deal of information, or
intelligence, 1 was very liberal in grati
fying him in his desires. But the cha
racter of Colonel M'Kee being so noto
rious, I !hall pass it over, only mention
ing that he doubted my friendftip to
the Indian*, and fufpefted me as a spy ;
and that he is one of the mod eminent
merchants in the scalping trade, and a
kind of Quarter-Mader-General to the
Indian army, in the service of the Bri
ti(h. From thence I was conducted by
Ensign Thomas M'Kte (who is a Bri
ti(h officer, and was in the battle fought
the lad day of June at Fort-Recovery)
to Detroit. The commanding officer
at Detroit, particularly enquired whe
ther General Wayrfe intended to march
to the foot of the Rapids, and attack
the Briti'h post at that place. I told
him 1 knew nothing of Gen. Wayne's
designs (particularly) but if there should
be a British post in his road, no doubt
h£ would trrtt it as he ifrould an Indian
village. He fetmed very much furpi if
ed that Gen. Wayne should alter his
j course of march ; and that it indicated
some design againlt that fort, faying
that his former intended route, was to
the old Miami village.
" The people of Detroit seemed ve
ry much exasperated agaiaft the people
of Kentucky, ftfld made no fee ret of
theii prayers foi tEe deftru&ion of Ge
neral Wf.yne's army. Colonel Bauhee
marched the 14th of Augwlt from De
troit with two hundred men under his
command, to the British Fort it the
foot of the rapids, in order to oppose
General Wayne and strengthen that
j garrison.
j » When the Indians tk white people
[ returned frortithe battle at fort Recove
ry, to Detroit, with the featps taken in
that brittle difplaved on a pole, aefcord
ing to their ctlftom, they were saluted
from the garrifoq, with the fire of three
guns, and huzzas from the citizens.
From Detroit 1 was sent to Niagara
to Governor Sitncoe, where similar ex
aminations, and enquiries, as at Detroit
took place. The Governor is fending
daily all kinds of military ftorss to the
fort at the foot of the rapids, ammuni
tion, guns, tomahawks, and scalping
kniv<fs ; provi ions And clc •'"ntf in a
bundanee.

who is the hyad'uf the nob, in his lan
guage, to a".ack the fort or ihfnlt the
ttritifh flag at the foot of the rapids. I
told him I knew nothing of General
Wayne's orders, or what CongreS? had
dire&ed him to do. He wished that
Gen. Wayne would dare to attack that
fort, if he d'd he would soon put a pe
riod to the war; and the mode he
wciuld adopt, would be to tfut ©if Gen.
Wayne's army and make a conquest of
! Kentucky ; destroy.the mob ; give ho

neighborhood.

•The ariftocratical prints affect to re
present the execution of Robespierre as
a vidlory over the republicans of this

sidered him as the great luminal y of

contrary, is an instance in proof of the

crowed immoderately at the intelligence

(and the last accounts leave no further
