almoit atidiole in my eais \ and I seem

down in the following paraphrase !

With such a charge, I fay, his mind
seemed to be loaded, and ready to fire,
when, to our great surprise, grappling
the lady wi.h his arms, he gave her
fnch a loving squeeze, as squeezed out
the doleful ccphonefis, " Murder, Mr.

Such wtre the tricks of fancy ; but

Pei-haps it led me to think, how rea
dily gu'.lt excites fear, and how little
the perfpu con cious of redtitude has to

i: brought me to tr.y'fcff. Whichever
of thefc it might be, as there is nothing
uncommon in the two former, and no
thing in the latter, which concerns the
reader, I shall give him no farther in

The phy£cian's bufinWs is with the
sick, i aUicr than with the well. He
deals more in rcftoratives, than preven

fumetinvs cannot without probing.—
Some must submit even to amputation

ains of such a process, if life can be
fivedby it, we thank the surg eon, as a
bencfaftor, although he has taken a fee
equal to the reach of his ayarice or the
stupidity of his conscience.
If the Vigil (liould chancx to observe

he will do it cheerfully, and gratis;

Lady Walterjlvrjf.
PARIS, August 6.
In the fitting of the National Con-
Wiition on the 4th of August Freron
propofcd, to dtmolifli the Hotel de
,J SC,
V'i'.J at Paris, bccaiife it had served at
the la ft. retreat to Robespierre ; it was
however remarked, that it was utterly
ridiculous to take vengeance on stones
for the crimes committed by men ; tbat
the Jyjiem of dejlrutlwn hxias over, and
moreover the Hotel de Ville belonged
to the city of saris, whose feftious had
all dfelerved Well of the country.
In the fitting of the 9th initant, it
Was decreed, that the arrears of penfiond
allowed to ci-devant prielts and monks
IKould be immediately paid by the ref
pe&tive diftiicts, and that in future all
iuch penliom (hould be paid without de
lay every three months.
Cambon proposed to change the
name of the committee, of public fafcty
for that of central committee of the re
volutionary government, because public
fafcty could only be procured by the
exertions of the Convention in trlafs.
This motion was received with umvetfal
approbation, ordered to be printed and
difenffed to-morrow.
WHei the arreftation of Fouquier
Teinville was decreed, Freron rose:
" all Paris, said he, demands the exe
cution of this man. There is no family,
which he did not deprive of one of its
members. If the juries were led by the
villain Robespierre, what must be the
public accuser, to whom the tyiant dic
tated the charges ? It is time for this
murderer, intoxicated with the blood
he {hed, to deep hiftifelf sober again in
Hell. ' - .
Dumont denounced the painter Da
vid, who is now in' the follow
ing manner : " Citizens fald he,' the so
lemn attitude we have now afiiimed,
does not permit ustofuffer, that David,
this tvrant of the aits, this vile and des
picable wretch, who did not appear in
the Convention during the night of the
23th July, may unpunished viiit and
infect thole places where he intended to
carry into execution the crimes of his
mnftcr the tyrant Robespierre. The
moment is arrived when all Ihadows of
the villain, 'of whom Krance is deliver
ed, must disappear. David is not the
only one fold to Robespierre. The
court of Cromwell is not yet deftroy
led." ' ' ' .
Barrere declared, that he had only
to announce the capture of 75 Engli(h,
Dutch, and Spanish vefiels, which the
frigates of she Republic had made pri
zes of} by which means the seaports
were abundantly provided with rituals.
The frigate la Tardive had besides de
firoyed fix of the enemy's ships.
Barre''e announced a new vidlory ob
tained by the army of the western Pyre
nees on the 24th of July, after an übfti
nate engagement of three when
fhev made themselves maftcrj of a deep
mountain occupied by 306 Spaniards,
took 320 of them, killed the reft, arjd
conquered the rijh Vale of Battan, the*
poitsof Beta, Lefaca, Jancy, Efchelor,
&c. '
had incarcerated more than 10,000 ci
tizens. He was arretted with his ser
vant Baptilt.'
The latelt return of the prisoners of
Parish makes them amount to 7832,
not including those in the Conciergerie.
Auguit 8.
Hentz, Bourbotte and Goujon, Re
presentatives of the people near the
army of the Moselle and the Rhine
sent the following address to the Na
tional Convention :
" We received your proclamation con
cerning the late plots discovered at Paris,
and have communicated it to the ar
mies. May the heads of all traitors
fall! May all tyrants be annihilated !
This is the sincere wilh of all those who
shed their blood in this quarter for their
country ; this blood does not flow for a
few conlpirators, but for Liberty, E
quality and for the unpcrifhable Repub
lic. May every one perish who aims at
the sovereignty, which belongs to the
people alone ! May those fall a facrifice
to national justice, who will place them
selves above equality. This is what we
desire with you, and what all triutnph
ing armies will wilh for. The many
heroes, who fell for Liberty, (hall not
fuffer the difhoner, that the country
they have delivered by their courage, be
submitted again to the feourge of a ty
rant. The events, which happened at
Paris, cannot but encreafe the zeal of
the armies, and heighten the spirits of
the foldi*rs of Liberty, who wi(h no
thing more than to exterminate all ty
rants.
—' «« Van rter Stegen and Van
Lanhendonk are the deputies arrived
here from Bruflels ; they are to demand
in the name of all inhabitants the re-uni

Ten waggons loaded with 5 1-2 mil

BERLIN, August 12.
Intelligence was yesterday received
here, that the Ruffians had taken Wil
na in Litluaniai According to a re
port it has been taken by storm. In
t his cast it mutt: have cod a great num
ber of riiei on both tides. No detail is
givtn of the capturfc of that place, it
remains therefore uncertain, in how far
this event may contribute, to decide
th« fate of Warsaw.
The latefl letters of Poland bring in
telligence, iKat the prussian head quar
ters at W(3a, have been removed and
fixed at a distance from the Pulifh in
trenchmentS. A transport of heavy
artillery is expe&ed on the 20th and a
nother about the end of August.
However certain it Tgemsj that the
P> ks' won't be able to make a long re
liftance againll the combined forces of
| liriiffia: the unexpected delay in mili
tary operations oecanOned by the buck
wardnefs of the Ruffians, is accompa
nied by many inconveniences at least
disagreeable if not fatal to the Prufliaa
i army. Private letteis complain not on
ly of the extreme dearth of all neceflii
ries but a!fo of a veal scarcity of provi
sions in the Prussian camp, which fuf
fei s also by want of good water. A
great number of the Pruffiau troops di
ed with the dysentery ; and the prince
of Prussia himfelf was attacked by this
sickness, but he is now recovered.

WARSAW, Augnft 1 —11
Extras from the Gazette of Tboin, on
the Vijlula.
Warfavv itfelf has not been bombard
ed yet. Our army is polled before "he
city, in four fortified camps, cortimuni
cating with each -other, and command
ed by General in chief Kofciulko, Ge
nerals Dambrowlky, Zajoceck, and Mo
krowfky, who has again joined the ar
my. Kofciuflco's head quarters are es
tablished at Mohatow. He has been
reinforced by the brigade of Madelin
(ky. The second camp, commanded
by Dambrofky, is eftablilhed before
him at Czerniakow; this corps faces
the Ruffians in and about Villanow-
The third corps is polled before Wo
la, against the Ruffians, who are in
poflcffiou of Wola and infcll its neigh
bourhood ; the fourth camp, in which
Joseph Poniatowlky serves as a volun
teer, extends from Powalfk to Marie
mont and Bielany, in order to cover
this quarter againll the Ruffians, poll
ed in and about Gttrce. The intrench
ments of Warsaw and the fortifications
of the camp arc on both flanks covered
by the Villula, and enable the troops to
harrafs the enemy- and bombard his
camps incelTantly, by which many villa
ges occupied by the Ruffians, and even
Wola have been burnt down. A fix
pounder lately llruck the King of Prus
sia's kitchen tent, withont any material
damage. Praga [a suburb] on the o
ther fide of the Villula, is entirely free
and fortified like Warsaw. A few Ruf
fian troops, who appear fomctimes in
some diflant parts of its neighborhood,
are quickly dispersed by the Poles, and
cannot binder Warsaw from being a-!
bundantly provided with all necciTafies
of life, which aie brought fiorfl all
quarters on the other fide of the river,
and even from Lithuania.
The Pales took lately all the Pon
toons prepared by the Ruffians for cros
sing the river Bug, also the poirtoneers
and soldiers belonging thereto, besides,
more than 100 oxen, and sent all to
General Cichotky, who commands a
CO rps on the river Nirtw find the lower
Bug, finding himfelt 100 -fsablc against
the Ruffians in that quarter, has been
reinforced by Generals Bielack and
Chineliuflcy, who arrived lat-ly with
troops from Lithuania. They have ta
ken the Ruffian pontoon* with them,
which .will be made use of in crossing
the Narew and the Bug.
All is quiet at Warsaw. The pa
triots fcem to be fatisfied with the king,
who intends to fend his lall remaining
jewels, to the high National Court, as
a patriotic gift for public exigencies, ef.
pecially to forward the cannon fownde
iy. Nothing is known in Warsaw, of
an answer said to h« given by Kof
ciufko, to the King, who wished to
yifit the camp, though it was pnblifhed
in many foreign ganettes. The truth
is : it being not permitted to the king
himfelf, to leave Warfavr without a pass
port, he requested the National Court
for one, in order to fee Kofciufko's
camp : but the High National Court
did not find it advifeable to allow a paflf
to the King in such critical times. On
the 2d ir.ft. General Zajoceck sent in a
letter of the King of Prussia to our
king, which was brought by a Pruflian
trumpeter to the camp near Wola.—
The contents of this letter and the an
swer to it are not yet known.

LONDON, August 3i.
Earl Stanhope t'oes not intend to go in
to a customary fiiit of solemn black for the
death of Robespierre:
" He has that within which paflcth
lhow ;
" Tliefe but the trappings and the suit
of woe."
The fruitful river of little Cato's eyes
began to flow when he read (he fad end of
his dearly beloved Maximilian. Like
Niobe, he was all drowned in tears. He
thought it a hard cafe that a Republicm
fiiould die on the fame fcafibld, and by the
fame instrument which murdered a King.
Paris at prcfent may be compared to
Mount iEtna. It contains an immense
quantity of combufliblc matter, which at
different periods forces itfelfout in a dread
ful conflagration, and the Convention is
the Crater throuch which the fire buriis
forth.
By a letter from a gentleman at Smyhia,
the ftllowing remarkable circumstance is
transmitted :
11 In the night of the sth of last June,
the inhabitants of the Iflantl of Tenedos,
in Archipelago, were very much alarmed
by the several fcvere (hocks of an earth
quake. In the morning to their great fur
prise, they djicovered a small island, about
half a mile ia circumference, immerged
from the sea, between them and the Asia
tic shore. In the centre was ohferVed a
small volcano, out of which iflued smoke
of a redifh hue. When I'heard this ex
traordinary account, I was determined to
be an eye witness of it, and therefore hir
ed a small veflel which soon conveyed me
there. I was told that it had incrrafed
much since the night it firft sprung, and
still continued doing the fame.
" As the inhabitants are very ignorant
and fuperllitious, they were 3fraid to ven
ture near it ; J therefore let out for the
spot with my servant: we tied the boat to
a .ock, of the new island, alia proceeded
upon it. I observed branches of coral dif.
per fed upon the island ; likewise different
forts of (hell-fifh. A melt wonderful
noise proceeded from the volcano, resem
bling the rumbling of wt c ,g«ii3.
ENNIS, (Ireland) Aug. 14.
" On the night of Friday the Bth inft.
.1 number of mtfcreants headed by one

where a lady and her daughter, a child of
twelve ycits of age, weie for the bene-
fit of the bathing season, and after fink
ing and other vile abufii.g the mother
felonioufly carried aw»y her daughter.
They fired a number of (hots, on leaving
the Lodge, as they proceeded through the
country, in order to intimidate thole who
might be inclined to pursue them ; but It
had a different effedl, as it served to alarm
the neighborhood, when a number of
gentlemen led on by George Studdard, Efq
our present high Sheriff, (who fotunately
happened to be in that part of the country)
commenced a spirited and diligent purit'
through the mod unfrequented and intri
cate pk-'ts of the country, until they com
pelled those villains to abandon the Udy,
whom they reflored to her affliiled parents.
PHILADELPHIA,
The Committee appointed by the citi
zens the 3d inft. to flop the inicrcourfe
with Baltimore and its vicinity, ca account
of a contagious disorder which prevailed
there, hive reason to believe that tl.e

It is therefore relolved, that all regula
