Letters from Ais-ie- Chapelte of the

Th« taking of Bilboa is not confirm

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 <vifhed it had been an army of
Carmagnols and mult have fuffeVed the
tortures of the difaffe&ed, in feeing so
great a force, as a bar to their secret,
j but feditiou* wishes.
BERGEN-OP-ZOOM, Atiguft 28
A French patrole of horse, about 100
strong, advanced under the cannon of
this place yesterday, and near Galg fell
upon fomc foldieri who tvere leveling

to men were carried prisoners to An
twerp, whefe a gieat number of trctops
have been aflem'olitig for several days
part ; all thi villages in the environs are
also full. The French patrols frequent

militia of this It ate, to.befurjreon 'enerai
in the place of Dr. N. Dortry, who 011
accouht of indifpolition has beert Obliged

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.
