From the I ftejlern Star< 'The CORDWAINER—No. IX. 1 Doll thou not perceive* courteous reader, that tli Cordwainer has caught somewhat of the spirit of his illustrious Jjattei n ! He cannot, indeed, conjure up f.ich a scene of enchantment about tiiec, and transform thy (hadow 'i a gi ant ; but mark, I pray thee, how bold and uncoufined he is, not tethered by prejudice to place or time, but embrac ing all uationt and all ages. Wguldtl thou be surprised flrould he devote some future lucubrations, as perhaps he may, to a few political hints to the Chinese, Snd fume paternal advice to pollerity of the Ninety-Ninth (century ? The Cordwainer at this time presents his compliments to the King of Great Brhaio, Mr. Pitt, and Mr. Burke, and begs perfniffion of his Mod Sacred Ma jelly, and their Right Honoiablcs, to gffer a few fuggeltions. And how goes the slate-game, my sweet Jockeys ? Mind your hand, I pray you. Why sure ye are playing your Trumps, whcrt an humbler suit would ■ fcrve you better.

A fiddle-flick for yoirr piippet-flicws! Away with your cob-web pageantries of Kate-jugglery. Be advised, friend Geerge, not to shut out the Ambafla dors of Reason, because Frenchmen have invelted it with the spoils of Reli gion and Royalty, and made it their God and their King. Reason is Reason still; and if all men do not choose to mn lunatic like Mr. Paine and the Ja cobin Club, depend npon it, mankind will not be always cajoled and fing iongcd out of its more sober influences. It is already too late to play the old game. The Rabble has got fuc)i top ping notions about their having fouls, and beifig ntade of the fame fluff, as they fay, with kings and lords, that they are not to be faddlcd, fleeced, and herded any longer. In short, if nothing less than absolute sway and divine fight will go down with you, my advice is to buv you a retired farm, turn grazier, and make and adminifler laws to ypur horses, oxen, sheep and Hogs. Oddfheart! I have a rare project for thee Billy Pitt. If people will be se ditious, and talk saucily about liberty and reforms, make them pay for it— that will curb them.

As for thee, fiiend Burke, I advise tlite to lay down the pen. " Since the world is so mad wc can f„>p C f6r n6 cure." Would you follow any more that weasel, Paine ? Why, man, you will want half a dozen Jack als to keep yon ou the scent. And what iignilies it to spend your brains and your ink ripon France I \ou ipight as well preach to a wind-mill.

It you lengthen your face, affd mention an amendment to the Decalogue with as much afiuranee as he would a decree to abolish Letters Je Cachet.

Three weeks since, the French had begun to aflemble in force near Saarlouis and Thionville ; and at Treves it was not even thought of taking any roea fures, in consequence of this intelligence, or to apply for fpcedy a Alliance. The elc6l6r informed of the dangei of his capital by or.r of his messengers on his return from Luxemburg, requested suc cours of his brother [Duke Albert of Sax Tefchen late governor of the Ne therlands] the commander in chief of the army of the German empire, who ; allowed him the contingent of the elec tor of Cologne and that of the upper Rhine. These German troops pro ceeded but slowly and before they ar rived at the place appointed, a deserter who was an aid-de-camp of the French General, had informed the imperialilts of the whole plan of the enemy, and told them with an affe&cd.air of com panion that 60,000 Carmagnols woulJ ioort make their appearance. The de serter had told the truth, but the llate ment of the number of the enemies was exaggerated. All was now confuiion 1 On the Bth the enemy approached rn two columns; the firft between Treves and Luxemburg, in order to Hop the communication between those two places, and to efFe& a paflage over Conzerbruck [the biidge of Conz over the river SarreJ the iVcond column ad vanced againfl the formidable intrench ments near Pellingen, raised by the late General Brontano. The bridge was only defended by two cannon loaded with grape (hot, and a few Imperialists, who fought like he roes, and beat off the enemy four times; but the chief attack of the French was directed againfl the redoubts of Pellin gen, which were only occupied by an incomplete battalion of Manfrcdihi and 20Q Croats. The largefl redoubt was formerly always provided with 11 guns, and now only with 4 of a small caliber. However, the battalion of Manfredini and the Croats, according to an unani mous report, kept this port like rocks, and disappointed four times the furious horde df the French in catiyiog the redoubt by dorm. One division [about 400] of huflars of Wurmfer attacked with unparalellfd bravery, a numerous body of the ene my's cavalry, drawn up in order of bat tle ; nothing could refifl the intrepidity of those famous hufiars ; they difperftd this phalanx, they Supported sword in hand the infantry, \4hofe bodies cover ed the field of a&ion. One of the Car magnols having succeeded at lafl to mount on the parapet of the redoubt, informed the reR of the small number of our troops, wten it was founA Imjiof- Gble to relist aoj longer! The contingent of the ele&or bf Co logne at least 1500 men ftrdtig was not ordered by Gen. Blaakenllein, to ad vance till the intrenchrpents were taken ; the elector of Treves' contingent was potted in such a manner, as riot to be exposed to the fihe of the enemy except the ChafTcurs, who behaved very. well. According to report the enemy's lojs amounts to 3000 killed. On our iiue the battalion o(. Manfredini 101 l 9 offi cers £of 20] among theft two captains. Our troops rtiade their retreat to Wellich about ~* miles from Treves where Prussian troops are arrived ; an other Prufiian corps commanded by Gen. Kalkreuth direfled its march over the Hundfruck [ a mountainous part, of the ele&orate of Treves] towards Treves. Every one flies from hei'e. The imperial hofpvtal and all that be longs to the army is sent oft to day. No intelligence at all from T1 eves.

LONDON, Augu ft 23. Orr Thurfdity night there was an at tempt made to raise a riot in St. George's Field's, at the mtlk hpufe, the corner of tlx; London Road, the maftef of which is a temporary ferjeaut to recruit for some of -the volunteer corps ; but by the spirited behaviour of the recruits, fo'idicrs, and light horfu volunteers in that ijiiarter, the incendia ries did not proceed to their intended acts of violence. It was evidently ap parent that the mob led on by per sons above the c'ammotl rank, whose sole aim is, if folirbfe, under the id>.a of some pretended (gHevance, to raise a general riot in the metropolis. The public should, therefore, be on their guard, and narrowly'wStc'li these revolu tionary plunderers, who, If once afiemb led en majfe, might commit much depre dation before they were flopped in the career of their robberies. A* some per sons in those mobs frequently cry out, LIBERY, FRATERNITY AND PEACE WITH FRANCE, it is an easy matter to conjeflure by what party they are enrouraged thus illegally to as semble, and wantonly insult the law and constitution of their country. It is yet frefh in the memory-os the Citizens of London, to what a pitch the wicked ness of the mobs in June 1780 arose, and what devafta'tion they committed, for want of a proper severity in go vernment to oppose them at firft. Had those who pulled down the Sardinian AmbafTador's rhapel been fired upon by the guards, andt by the horfc until they were completely defeated, there the riot would would have ceased. But an ill-timed lenity encouraged the insurgents to proceed, and produced that wide fpreadirv,'devaftation which folio wep. Let us profit from precept, and be .warned by example. August 24. The foreign mailt due had not arrived when this paper went to prcfs ; but by a letter from Dover, received yesterday morning, we learn that the siege of Sluys is not yet raised, though the enemy seem to have abandoned the hope, by. the feebjknefs of their opera tions, of being able to make any serious impreflion ou the place.

The fatal ravages of tha yellow fever in the Weft-India I (lands arc unabated, and the mortality among our troops and seamen has been con fide rable. Of Sir Charles Grey's hotifehold, a black ser vant, it is said, is the only person who has not been carried off by it. The Earl of Moira has agre«d to re sume a command in the army.

We are happy to h"d, that through the returning good sense of the people, the difpo'fition to not is much abated. On Friday the veftrier. of St. Margaret were assembled, and on the propriety of the refpe&able inhabitants taking an a&ive part in the maintenance of public tranquility they weve unanimous.
