pre vious to the movement of the British «Vni)j which has rendered the Coun try round Breda a perfeft marsh ; a circumstance that will effeftually impede the progress of the French army in that der pain of being treated as a counter revulutionift. AH the plate has been taken from the rich, to be coined Into money.

"The Swvfs have taken poiTcffion of all the heights towards France, and very rflrrotvljr watch the motions of the French tfoops. By the advice of the Cnptons, it is said that a nutbber of Swiss officers, have chosen rather to give up their pensions from France, than to frnd back their crofles of St. Louis. 1 September 6. By the Dutch Mail we have account! from Holland, that reports prevailed there, brought by the way of Baflc, in Switzerland, that tumults prevailed to a great excess in Pari;, and that Bai rere had been mailacred. Prince Cobourg lias resigned his Com roand, and has been /uoceeded by Ge neral Glairfai* Letters from Ais-ie- Chapelte of the ith infiant state, that both Le Quefnoy and Valenciennes fttrrcndered to the French on the ijth ult. Th« taking of Bilboa is not confirm ed by the letters brought by the mail yesterday from Corunna.—The report originated in the Jacobin Prints here, without any authority. There is a cordon of about thirty thousand men between Ddverand South ampton, a proof at once of the vigilance of government, and the internal strength of the country. The Jacobins are moving heaven and earth to excite the citizens of London to an opposition of the militia adl. We trust, however, that the citizens are too sensible of the advantages of a proper military prote&ion, to be influenced by such efforts. Camp, near Breda, Sept. t. 1 formerly acquainted you, that it was supposed that three Columns of French were to march against Holland : «ne against Breda, another against Ber- f en-op-Zoom, and the third against >ois-le-Duc. The Column against Bre da ha* appeared, that against Bergen op-Zoom has perhaps, done so ; but we have no communication with that place, and can know nothing of what pafles there; the third column it may be inferred, from the following circum stances, is on its way from Maeftricht. The Commandant of Bois-le-Duc sent out a party to reconnoitre, some days ago, as far as Eyndhoven, on the road to Maeftricht; but with orders not to attack. The party, forgetting their orders, fell in with some advanced ports of the French, which they imme diately attacked. They were repulsed with the loss of near twenty men killed ; the reft got back to the garrison. The French, according to custom, plunder ed the place. Bois-le-Duc is a conliderable Town, and by nature and art may be accounted strong. On the fide of Breda, it it well fortjfied; and on that of Grave, there is a natural morass, which will not permit the ereftion of batteries, or any approaches by an enemy. The French cannot therefore mean any at tack upon that place. By the ground which the Duke of York has chosen, he ia at hand to suc cour cither Boi* le Due or Grave, (hould they be threatened : he is' also near Cleves, by which he may co operate with the Allies, in ihofe measures which hereafter be pursued. This place affords a ft riking contrail to mod other towns in Holland, or those belonging to the Dutch. Few or no Orange Cockades are worn by the rriafs. They would readily mount the French Infurreftion colours. Were a perma nent guillotine erefted among them for three months only, it might work a wonderful change* or were the Republi cans to convey to France all their cafti and goods, and leave them only paper, or take off their heads, if they com plained, it might be a ufcfill leflbn to themfelveg and poßeriry. The army paficd through the town with all the potrtp of War: they no doubt ken lr.ee thcii landing here, -with the. rtfett lic.vtfelt gratitude. Generous man—'tis by fiicli afts as those, you can serve the noble caufc i:i which you are embarked, and prove to the enemies of youc country J that, though at war with them, 'humanity to the conquered fhati be itfl leading fea ture.

PHILADELPHIA, NOVEMBER t Governor has appoint' Edward Catbufh, M. 15. late senior fuigeen in t)ic militia of this It ate, to.befurjreon 'enerai in the place of Dr. N. Dortry, who 011 accouht of indifpolition has beert Obliged to return to this city. Mr. Fenno, Please to inferttbe following answer to the piece signed—Fair 'Qubstion, insert ed in your Ga/ette of Friday, under the New York head. R. IF this quelllon is honestly proposed, it is Worthy of the attention ol' a Philosopher —but it is founded on a'falfehood. The writer fays that 41 tiuu thirds of the Convention have been condemned for treafori and conspiracy." There has not been one half nor rne quarter of the members condemned; the whole does not amount to more than one sixth ; what iS one sixth part in compari son with the majority of the members of the Englilh parliament, -who in continuing their support of Pi it have betrayed their constituents, and merit the fame punish ment that has been inflicted on the minori ty of the National Convention. A Pr 'unet to Truth. t Mr. Ricketts, with real refpefl, present* his compliments to the Gentle mart who has l'o obligingly taken no<- tice of the Equeßian Performances at the Circus, in Saturdays Paper, under the signature of Jvtenis. He a {Tares that Gentleman, that his gratitude to the Citizens of Philadelphia, will ever keep pace with his desire to please them : Ajnd that altho' there are several performances which have appeared in Edinburgh and other Cities of Europe, that have not yet been exhibited here. The delay has not arisen from any ne gleft of Mr. Ricketts, but frotn cir cumstances that rendered it hitherto im pra&icable. The want of a convenient covered Circus, together with several obstacles, which might be mentioned, will plead Mr. Ricketts's exewfe. Desirous, nevcrthelefs, to exert every means within his capacity of giving am ple fatisfa&ion to his kind Benefaftors, he is preparing the neceflary apparatus to perforin the Feat which Juvenis quotes from the I' dinburgh papers, al tho' when he advertised it, and there was an immensely crowded Circus— the Gentlemen of the Faculty in that Ci ty, declared their opinion, that it would be altogether impoflible for a man of Mr. Ricketts conftru&ion, to execute a Leap over Ten Horses, withont the molt fatal consequences, viz. The burst ing of blood vefTels, or deftru&ion of some of the vital parts. Mr. Ricketts however persisted, went over the ten hotfeg with ease, without the aiMance of a spring-board, and, without fuffering any ill consequences. In like manner, Mr. R. hopes to get through the fame feat before his depar ture from this City, and will advertise it in course, with foroe other New Per formancet that have never yet appear ed. He returns sincere thanks to Ju nevis, for his Friendly- advice refpe&ing the hour of commencing at the Circus, and will readily comply with whatever may appear to give the mod fatisfac tion to the Public.
