Yelirrday the whole army qf the

every where, and behave ill. At
Hilvarenbeck they hanged two peasants
in a barn, and then burned barn, house,

great number* on the frontier*, all the

AMSTERDAM, September 1,
The fortrefs of Sluys furrertdered on
the 24th of last month, the garrison
confilling of 2000 men, were made pri-
Toners of war and transported to Dun
kirk. This liege has colt the French
ZOOO men, and they would not have
made themselves matters of this fortrefs
if the Engineers had not negledled the
inundations in a treacherous manner.
But this is not the cafe at Breda, where
with the now prevailing northerly winds
the inundation has fueceeded so well
that the French will find it difficult to
open their trenches. Meanwhile they
have actually summoned the fortiefs, the
commandanuwhereof returned for au
fwer, that "he knew what duty and ho
nor demanded of him, and that he was
determined to defend the fortrefs to the
last." Report fays that the French are
making preparations to besiege likewise
Bois le Due.
At a meeting of the fubicrjbers to thr

tvening, Meflrs. P. Miercken, P. Macki .

Mar iied on Tuesday evening last, Mr
William G. Latimer, of the state of De.
laWare, to Mist Saily Bartow, daughter of
the lale Thomas Bartow, Efq.of this city.
A remaks, that the en
tertainment announced, at the Old'
Theatre, to be performed this evening,
will, in al! probability, command a ref
peffible audience. To Americans,
what can be more interesting than the
exhibitions of those fbeneij which mod
probably happened upwn the firtt inter
coil rfe between the Spaniards and the
Aborigines,' of the country ; snd these
are delineated in the mail lively manne.r
serious opera of Tammany or
America difcavercd. The scalp dance
to be performed in the third aft must
alio be highly striking :—The epilogue
of "Belles have at you all," has always
been vei yfatista&ory to thole ai.dicncfs,
to whom it has been delivered; and it
will fuirly lose nothing itf'its merit
when spoken by the inimitable Mrs.
Mclmoth.
We have heard much of the Engli.li
spouting clubs ; the description will,
no doubt, afford ample scope for indulg
ing the risible faculties, particularly
when delivered by Mr. Marriot. The
true born Irishman, has always gone off
with applause, and the vocal abilities of
the incomparable Mr. Povvnal, in ihe
character of Mrs. Diggerty, must great
ly add to the entertainment. Upon the
whole, the different pieces appear to be
well felcdted, and the parlt afiigned to
the several performers with gnai judg
ment :—The met it of the two bdies
and the gentleman for whose bci «it
these performances are allotted) is wtil
known ; they are all refpedtable 111 their
feveraLJpheres, and have ever seemed
anxious to please ; nor have they faiied
in their exertions. There is, however,
a trait in the character of Mr. Ryan,
which will certainly greatly endear him
to the favor of the public ; he has for
many years supported his aged parents,
in a decent and refpedtable manner, who
ftomtheir many infii n>itic<,woitldnther
wife be greatly in want : a disposition
so noble merits, and will certainly pro
cure the patronage of the virtuous fre
quenters of the ftdge.
A correfponilent remarts,
That the pertinacious Mr. Bache,
and the -wordy orators whom he employs,
like an old maiden with whom he is ac
quainted, wtfh to monopolize abusive
epithets, and are therefore extremely ir
litated, when others attempt to deal in
the fame precious commodities. They
wince prodigiously, when epithets, just
ly descriptive of their arts and efforts,
are used to charadlerize the part they
aft ; but they cSn, with gteat alacrity,
"inploy the fame against their adverfa
tes. For example, they do not scruple

In your piper of yesterday, a waiter

prove this, he fays that the Indians never
