HAERLEM, Sept. 14.
By different letters from Bois-le-Duc
it appears that on Fiiday and Saturday
lad the French appeared within fight of
that garrison, but not within the reach
of cannon (hot. They afterwards fell
back, but came in greater numbers in
the environs, and daily attacks are made
by the refpe&ive advanced pods. It
appears tube decided that the pods of
Boxel, and the> other places on the
Dommel, are to be maintained, for
which purpose some Englith cavalry ar
rived in Boxel on Saturday last. The
English aany is aifo in motioi, but their
defoliation is not yet known: The
bridge that had been thrown over the
Meufe, at Bockhuvcn, is removed to
Raveityn.

FRANKFORT, Sept. 6.
For the completion of tire army of
the Empire, the Duke of Saxe Tef
chen, has correl ponded with the Bishop
of Spires, wha fays, his country is
ruined already, and that he can furnifh
no contingency to the army.
The circle of Franconia seems also
very avert 10 these measures, sod th?
answer of the King of Pruflia, as elec
- tor of Brandenburg, has been as full a
negative. He fays, h; has madeluchfa
criiices already, as far exceed the expen
ces of a contingency , his troops have
rendered eminent f«ivices, the expences
for retaking Frankfort and Mentz, have
not been made good yet; there is no
army of the Empire, for the few con
tingencies that are furnilhed, do not de
fa ve such appellation. Besides, it was
agreed, that the fnrnifhi.ig of troops
Ihould be bought with ready money.
The war in "Poland, excited by the
common enemy, in order to prevent his
Majesty From defending the Empire, ful
ly dilpcnfates him fiOm it. Finally, hjs
Majesty thinks himfelf entitled to de
clare, that if all dates did as much as
he had done, the country would have
been saved.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Abflraft of proceedings 14 Fru&idor.
The explosion of the powder mills of
Grenille, which took place this .hom
ing, about 8 o'clock, occafioaed many
of the members to meet in the Hall
within half an hour after. Voullard
opened the fitting : The convention im
mediately decreed that all lofTei {hould
be sustained by the Republic—that the
persons wounded and the parents of
those who perished by this melancholy
accident, ihould be entitled to the pro
visions made by law for thofc who were
wounded in the army. The Conventi
on afterward learnt that a large quantity
of powder was saved, that the danger
t was over, and the citizen were eager to
lend their affiitance to the wounded!
The Representatives of the people v.-bo
were sent to tilt feCtiois, reported tl.e
moil moving traits ol' concern, of fcalt •
bility and difintereftedrtefs, manlfeftcd
by the citizens on this, occasion. A
difcuflion took place on the organiza
tion of the Police of Paris. Merlin of
Douay produced a decree, which with
little debate, was adopted.
The (hock of this explofiqn was so
great as to be felt by all Paris and its
environs. In many places, the gl.ifs
windows were bvukeu, and doors were
thrown down.
11 Fiuftldor-, Sept, 2.
Citizen Boyer, aiJ.de campt of Gen.
Scherer, and Lecamur, Secretary of
Lacofte, were admitted t» the har
they brought the colours of the garti
fons of Quefioy, Valenciennes and Con

N. B. At the close of this session,
the convention m:vde foroe changes in
the committee of Public Safety. The
members who are difphced are Billa'ud
Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, Tallien
and Barrere. The three firll rdinned —
Barreie by lot. They are replaced by
Delmas, Merliu de Douay, Cochon and
Foti.eroy.
The name of Conde is changed and
the city, by order of the convention, is
called Nord Libre, North free, or Free
North.
There has been no majacre at Paris.
The fleet is in the harbor; but the
Moniteur of Sept. I contains a long
lift of prizes carried into different ports.'
In addition tt> the foregoing, we ab
itradl the following general view of the
proceedings of the convention.
After tije blowing up of the powder
works at Paris, the convention pafied a
decree fov placing the police ps Paris on
a better fuutiiig. By this decree, the
commifliotia organized hy . tlie conven
tion are inverted with'tlio cace of Pdris,
each according to its rcfpeftive dutirt.
A decree in thirty articles distributes
to the several committees their functions
in the republic.
The contention have pafled a decree
for fettling the accounts, and liquidating
the debts due . from the ci-devant new
India company eftabli(he<l by an arret of
council April 14, 178.*.
•They have passed * debtee for the
payment of annuities due from the Re
public to 40, '06 persons.
Oil the ,th Sept. they burnt twenty
millions of livres in afiignats, ariliirg
from the fa'es of the national domains
and reiepts extraordinary : this makvs
the whole sum dellroyed amount to twe
milliards, and 3/6 millions.
The convention have also published t
" declaration of the principles of a revo
lutionary government : guaranteeing
the rights end liberty of a citizen."
By a newdecree, defining emigration
all the French who left the territory o
the republic after the ift of July 1785
and did not return before May 9
1792 are declared .emigrants, and pun
ifhable \Srith death.
All public functionaries employed b;
the republic in foreign countries, w)i<
do not return in three months after thi
termination of their million, are deelar
ed emigrants.
Ninety four citizens of Nantz, wh<
had fceen imprisoned several mouths
were lately brot before the Revolution
ary Tribunal and acquitted. *
Altho the system of the present rul
ing powers rahce is : 'ic and mil
omparedwith that „ ~at and Ko- n M wU]h adde(U
jefpierre , yet the new Revolutionary (Reduced intj a C'imedy of two art.,,
1 nhunal has begun its condemnations. i "<1 l"> r 1
The tlah at Paris and the other clubs 1 lie HUIV jDOUV .
in France have laid aside the denomina- The doyrs wi!i bc n < a . hal / aftA
tion of Jacobins, arid call themfeives the five, and the en tain drawn up prccifely at
" Socicly of the friends of liberty and half after !ix o'clock,
equality." The club in Paris occupies
the fame hall and call it thecidevant Ja
cobins.
The fittings of this club arc employ
ed in detailing flanderatid suspicions of
treason ; and the members expatiate on
their own patriotism and the conspira
cies of th 4 Arirtocrats. From every
quarter of France, thef« clubs fend ad
drefies to their friends in Paris and to
the Convention, demanding the blood
of conspirators. A person cannot read
the debates of tliefe furious clubs with
out shuddering. If' we are to believe
these felf-begotten centinels, France is
in a molt critical situation. For they
declare that treafonsand conspiracies ex
ist and every moment threaten the def
truttiou of the Repnhlic.
But it appears the Convention are
not alarmed —they proceed calmly in
their deliberations ; and it is probable
the (lories of the club are dellgntd on
ly to answer their bloody puipofes.
The following projt-ft of a decree,
laid before the Convention Sept. 14, is
too Angular to be pafled over.
Art. 1. Every member is prohibited,
! ftitdei p«ua!ty of impvifonment till peace,
1 to use, after this day, either in reports
us d:l>ites, the words invented to ex
t-ite divifioi* and tronL>L'i in the Conven
tion a.id Ri-publk, wWii serve to de
fijjiiate parties, bodiea or fa&iuna, which
tend only to degrade the majority o£ the
Convenlxm a.)d the nations iuch j»ords
as, the mountain, tfie plain, the mar/h,
Tiic moderates, Ju;.v!>ijis, fedei alUts,
mufcadins, and alai mills.
Art. 11. If any peiftwi fuller such
words to e r cape him inadvertently, he
lhall be called to order by the President;
and for a fecund fault, (haH fuffer the
pen-ihy enadted in trie firft article.
• Titis Ph.j eft is related in the latest
receii-ed, and we are not informed
of the fate of this curious motion.
On Moudy last, the citizens of this
Corpmonwiakh auembled 111 their refpeo
tive towns, for the purpose of. electing
Men to repi'Sfeiit them in the of
the United States, for the t.rm of two
years from March lifxt. An o< calion so
interesting to Freemen—and made more
important from the torrents of obloquy
which has been poured on the eharadk'rs
0! those who now fuflain the important
uifice—it was expected that a g.eueral at
tendance of the citizens would L>e .given—
that expectation has been fully verified—
And rhe right of fuflrage was,, perhaps,
n-ver more iully improved." The follow
ing returns, which are as accurate as the
time will permit to be made, juftily the
observation :
