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. Are ye not in your
nine-holes, thiit yoiir Honors (hall count
you nothing, and all depends upon your
fuccefa in tricks ? Jt was, however, cer
tainly good play to lead put that Ace of

he make among their Deuces and
Treys f B-'t tie T fie! ye had better be

Bays to such a lead. Ti»ke my word for
it, ye had better flock the hand } call
home Muir and Palmer ; invite back
llowan ; pay the two former a guinea
a hair for (having their heads, to enable
them to buy wigs, and place the latter
Under the droppings of your overflowing
Treasury.
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. Bid the Lord

COBLENTZ, Augutt 14.
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.

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 firft division of the 82d regi
ment of fool marched from Wind

A very respectable merchant in the
