of this jultice belongs to the civil ma

delicate and momentous duty the chief

perform and add my affeftionatc wilhes

Coiild my further presence with them
lnve been neceflary, or compatible with
my civil duties at a period when the ap
proaching commencement of a fclfion of
Cougrefs, particularly calls me to re
turn to the ,feat of government, it
would not have been withheld; in leaving
them, I have less regret, as I know I
commit them to ap able and faithful di
rection, and that this dirc&ion will be
ably and faithfully seconded by aIL
Go. Washington.
To this parental counsel of our be
loved chief magiltrate, the commander
begs leave to add the flattering hopes he
entertains, that the conduit of the ar
my, will jultify the favourable anticipa
tion formed of it; thus (hall we elta
blifh to ourselves a character the molt
amiable, and exhibit to pollerity a mo
del to all future armies. Left, howe
ver, Tome individuals may have crept in

INDIAN NEWS.
WINCHESTER, Odtober 20,
Lail week Capt. Jacob Slough, of
the federal army, passed through this
town from head quarters. In the ac
tion with the savages on the 20th of
August last, Capt. Slough was (hot
through the body, and miraculously
survived it. We are extremely happy
to add, that the wound is now perfe&ly
healed. This Gentleman brings no
later information from the army than
what we have already printed. We are,
however, informed thro' another chan
nel, that General Scott, with a feleft
detachment under his command, has
again defeated the Indians, and made
great havoc among them.
OPTON', in Stillwater, o£lober 21,
.j 794.
There is a report in circulation, that
at leatl Wears the appearence of proba
bility, that Gen. Wayne, has (iince the
defeat of the Savages Jattacked the Bri
tish garrison at the Miamis, commanded
by the fin]vincible Major Campbell,
winch he took at the point of the
bayonet.
LANSINGBU RGH, N. Y. Oft. 21.
The New Yoik Herald mentions in
telligencc having been received there of
the ew.cutiori of Fort Miamis, by Ma
jdr Caailull. This report is confirmed
bv a person of this town who left Mon
treal, Fiiday before last, who fays that
the news had been rereived there dire£t,
and that it was spoken of publicly as
having been done to, as they term him,
" the d—d rebel General," (Wayne.)
Our informant further adds, that about
a week previous to his leaving Mon
treal, the garrison and inhabitants had
been much alarmed at the difaffe&ion
of the Canadians, who went so far ai
to embody on an island not far from the
town, to the number of 7 or 800; —
their obje& being, as was supposed, the
release of JO or. 12 persons, Canadi
ans, ljyalirts, and from the United
States, who had been imprisoned for
words spoken difrefpe&ful of the gov
ernment. The garrison lay on their
arms for several days, and the inhabi
tants equipped and ordered to appear
at a moment's warning 5 but from the
want of resolution in the chiefs of the
infurrc£lion, they difperfedwithout ma
king any attempts, and all appeared
tranquil when he left the place. It was
the determination of those within the
walls, in call: of an aflault, to h vc put
the ptifoners to death on the attsck.
The prejudice of tlje Canadr sis so
great against the Englilh, it is thought
that had they forced their way into
town, every person who was not French
would have fallen a victim to their fury.
The person further adds, thst Col.
Fitch, the custom house officer at St.
Johns, is said to have been too lenient
to the illicit traders from the United
States, and broken Patrick Conroy,
now fills that office, and has adopted
the moll rigorous measures to prevent
any illicit intercourse between the U. S.
and Canada. He is constantly altended
by upwards of 50 dependants night and
dav, who guard all the avenues. Several
persons have met with severe lofies since
the new arrangements.
By an arrival this day from St. Petcrf

The French behave extremely well in
Treves ;' they keep an excellent difci
plinc. Divine service is performed in
churches and schools as before ; they
do not hurt the clergy,& if any depreda
tions have been committed,' it was done
by our own peasants. ' The French pay
for every thing very dear, but in affig-
nats.
DUBLIN, September 3.
The French, without having yet pe
netrated into Holland, have produced
an immenfc degree of mifchief. The
loss which must cnfue in confeqnence of
the general inundation,' is calculated at
many millions; a loss which that coun
try will not be able to recover for a con
siderable number of years.
Fontarabia, lately taketi by the
French, is a place of considerable im
portance. It is situated on a peninsula
on the shore of the Bay of BHcay, hats"
a good tidehaibcr, and was former
ly confidercd as the key to Spain, in
that quarter. Barrere already talks of
it as a conquest that will separate Spain
from the coalition, and indeed, accord
ing to. all appearances; Spain must ei
ther separate from the coalition, or like
fomeof the other allies, demand a subsi
dy to enable the Catholic King to de
fend his own territories;
The language of the French, is very
much improved since the fall of Robe
spierre. In the Couvention, a mem
ber has been reprimanded for alking
how another member voted on the death
of the late King ; a quedion which for
more tfaay two months has been held a
fufficjent answer of
any man, who voted for sparing the life
of the unfortunate monarch. Even in
the Jacobin Club, nothing is lillened to
with approbation, but letitiments of
moderation and humanity. It remains
to be seen whether or not, the improve
ment of their condu& will keep pacc
with the improvement of their speeches.
