AIX LA-CHAPELLE, Sept. 13.
The Arch-Dukc Charles, who re
fined some days ago from the army, set
cfF again this day to the Rhine, whither
we are assured his bag-jage will follow
him. Considerable reinforcements ar
rive daily here for the army of the
M'acf.'. The French collect their prin
cipalforce near Tirlemont andTongres,
where their army is now fjid to confilt,
of Q3,0 -o m p n, finee the furrenikr of
Vilcncienncs andConde. They have a
intrenched camp before Z nithen.
After several movements in the envi

All the A iitnan Officers, who were
absent upon leave, have received orders
fpecdi'y to join the Army. The last
or krs fro® flie Court of Vienna are ex

bearer. The whole army is in motion.
1 >e head quarters will, it is thought,
be rcnoved to Maeftricht this day. The
array crofTet the Macfe fiom time to

sive action. *
VENLO, Sept. 13.
On the roth inft. we received or
ders to remove the Imperial Magazines
to Maeftricht, which was immediately
done. They we\t paitly sent off by
water, and the re(l by land.
The day before-yefterday an An (Inan
General arrived here, to infpedt all our
works, as likewise tc t St. Michael.
The Regiments of Plettenberg and
my Calmctte, who composed part of the
Gariifon of Valenciennes, have been
here since ycftcrday. The former goes
to Utrecht, and the latter to Amster
dam. They were both disarmed. The
French supplied them with brt;ad and
pay as far as the Frontiers.
This day a itrong Patrole march
ed hence, to Eindhoven. We learn
that the Knemy aie in great force at
Maeftricht.
COBLENTZ, Sept. 9 .
Gen. Moreau commands the French
army, a: Treves, and lias Generals Re
nault and Vincent under him. The e
nemy's whole force in that city conJ.Rs
of 14,000 men.
On the 29th of August, 60 wag
gons were put in requifitiort liy the
French ; they all reached Treve»enthe
3 th, a id the plundering of that city
also took plate on the fame day. It whs
not general, but only confined to the
bottles of the Clergy and nobility, and
to the hcufes of the emigrants, in
which the Firtich left nothing" behind
them. On the ift inft. the booty was
convey'ed to Thionville and Metz,
which renders every thing extremely
dear. F;:mine actually prevails among
the inhabitants. Those among them
who have any money left, may get
bread of the Republican Soldiers who
fell it.
Both the merchants and inhabitants
have been deprired of all the iron, lea
ther and cloih in their poffeflion ; and
the whole has been sent off. They re
ceived acknowledgments, exprefTed thus,
" Go~d for 100 livres"—"Good for
600 livres," &c. and these acknow
ledgments are to be changed for As-
*
At the tiniverfity of Treves the Ja
cobin Club meets every evening, and
not only the French, but a great
number of the Inhabitants affifl at the
debates.
The French have thrown a bridge o
ver the Moselle at I gel, and another o
ver the Saar at Saarbruck, in order to
keep up the neceflary communication.
A large division of Pruflian9 has already
ln.cn at Merzig. The French are now
both at and about this litter place.
The inhabitants of the iJutchy of
Wirtemberg and of the country of Swa
bta hare declared, thr.t they will enn
ragrtjufly defend their f u,;ticrs, but
that they will npt fimufli any further
fupplicsof men.
The Duke Wirtemberg seems willing
upon the whole to accede to the propo
sals of the Emperor, but the ttates of
owabiaare wholly averse to taking any
aflive part in the war.
The Swiss Cantons will, it is said,
speedily fend an AmbalTador to Paris.
The dates of Berg and Jtiliers have
resolved to furnifh the Imperial army,
every month with 6000 bushels of
Wheat, i2,o:x» bushels of Oats, and
100,-0 rations Gf hay, for the army
of the Maefe.
The contributions on the part of the
Electorate of Cologne will it is expect
ed, be far more conlidcruble.
LONDON, Sept. 25.
Tile Grand Jury far the city of Lon
don have found true bills agairifl Dr.
Barlow, and a Mr. Watson, for a con
lpiraty agamll government ; they are
expected to take their trials ill the
course of the present sessions.
Advice is received from the Eaft-ln
dies of the death of Robert Morris, Esq.
late of Swansea. This gentleman was
the advocate of the late Lord Balti*
more, in the memorable trial of his
lordlhip for a rape on Miss Woodcqck,
which gained htm the confidence and
friendffiip of his Lordlhip, after whose
death he carried off his patron's daugh
ter, a Ward of Chancery, and, alt ho'
they were afterwards married in France
and Italy, yet on their return to Eng
land, after two years fojour;;ment a
broad, by the lady's desire, their unioi
was diflblved.
The siege of Maeftricht, where Jotir
don commands, w:ll in* all probability
co'.t the French dearly, as it is one of
the strongest barrier forces in the Ne
therlands. The redn£lion<of this place
would open a paflage to Wtjlphalia, and
furnifh a strong defence to the lately ac
quired pofiefiions in Handers. Maef
tricht u seated on the Miefe, which,
after a long course, becomes here a large
rivet. The defence will doubtless e.or
refpond with the strength and impor
tance of the pod, and therefore be un
commonly vigorous.
As a complete the Paiifian
papeistothe 7th inft. have reached
.London, without mentioning so impor
tant au event as the death of the Dau
phin, it maybe reasonably inferred that
the report had no foundation.
Yellerdaypnrfuanttocharter, a Quar
terly General C mrt of the Eall India
Company, was held at their House in
Lcadenhall ftreel; when, Mr. Lnfhiiig
ton prefaced the following motion with
a Ihort but spirited fjs« ech :
" That this Court be fummoncd for
the gth of Odtobei to conlider of an
address to his Majetty, declaratory of its
determination to support the Govern
ment of the country in the prosecution
of the present jtift and necessary war. "
Which being as warmly seconded by
Nr. Benfley. from behind the bar, was
carried with theutmoft. unanimity ; and
then the Court adjourned.
Advices are brought by the ex-no
bles, who have arrived within these two
days from La Vendee, that the Chouans
are strong, and had lately gain
ed feveial advantages, and taken leveral
places in Upper BieUgne.
On the 13th inltant the French ad •
vanced with about 100 1 huffnrs to with
in fight of the town of Bois-le-Duc,
and covered themselves with some wood
which was near—but after a fiiort can
nonade they were obliged to retreat.
A great number of fugitives from
Bois-le-Duc arrived at the Hague on the
18th inltant, and Itated thkt the French
had already approached the avenue cal

Wednesday upwards of a thousand

The Britilh guards are a] way the molt
dirtinguifhed in every post of honor and
danger. A detachment of them was
ordered, in conjunction with fomc other
troops, amounting in all to about 300%
to dislodge the enemy on the '4th from

rounded by 25,0 o of the enemy, but
fuccefsfnlly cut their way thro, and re

PHILADELPHIA,
NOVEMBER ir.
ExtraS of a letter from a gentleman in
Macpherfon's battalion, dated '4 Camp,
near IVaJbir.gton, Nov. nth, 1794.
" By the time this reaches you, I
hope to be upon the march homeward,
as it is expected the business for which
we came heie will be complcattd in a
day or two. You know before this time
what hardships we have undergone, but
I now adore you tliat were 1 certain we
had yet twice as much, 1 (hotsld not re
pent of coming out.—The business has
been more serious than I, or, 1 believe,
any one else who was not in the plot,
had an idea of. From papers which
have been found in Bradford's house, it
appear* that it has been in agitation
these three years, and was no less than
to overthrow the whole government of
the Union, and put themselves under
I the protection of Great Eritain. For
tunately all the leaders are known, as
among the papers was found a lift of
their names, and, I expect, all or the
greater part of them will be secured, as
all the horse were immediately sent in
pursuit of them ; and some parties have
returned with several pufoiiers, and
others are hourly expected. It is said
that there were several hundred writs
iflued. As soon as the horse return,
which will be in a day or two, we expect
to begin our march home."
