Qw heavy baygaije is, by way of pre
caution, kept on the other fide of the
river Waal near Nimeguen, where it will
raivxitf till another movement is made
by ciur army, which it is expe&ed will
be in the couife of tomorrow. It is
thwjght the whole army will cross the

Waal and a part of the Rliine form a

junction. By that means we cross both
waters at pnee, it being impoflible or at
I:n1t very difficult, to form a bridge at
Ntmegnen, ort account of the rapidity

Our lire at present occupies the

and extends by Henmen, Middleair,

with general Walmoden, who is polled

St, Andrew'l Day.
Sunday last being St. Andrew'* Day,
the fame was celebrated yetleiday by
the St. Andrew'* Society of thisftate,
*t the Tontine Coffee House. The io
ciety met at >2 o'clock, and proceeded
to tranfalt their usual bufmefs. From
the report of thei* committee of ac
counts, it appeared that the fund* of the
society, not only enabled them to ap
ply the sum of one hundred and Gxty
five pounds fourteen (hillings and feveri
pence, to the relief of their indigent
and distressed brethren in the course of
the last year, but likewise afforded the
pleasing profpeft of furnifhing the means
of more extensive charity.

The society were honored with the

the indisposition of his Excellency the

elegant llandaids, with emblematical
devices, among which, the Cornucop'u

PHILADELPHIA, Die, 4.
There is a proverh to this effe& : the
infurgei4 printers fliould have good
memories. When Mr. Genet ftrft set
tip his clubs in this country, they bond
ed of the immense efficiency of such fo
ci<tie& in France. Then the cry was,
they pulled down the towers of defpot
ilro, they we're stronger than mercenary
armies,' they will do more than could
have been done without them.
For pulling down conlYitutions they
are indeed excellent machines.
But when the I'refident tells Am^-
i rica, thev are disjointing- the ftrufture
of the temple of liberty, they have rais
ed one irifurredYion, arid it is necejfary to
discountenance what bat contributed to
foment it, and thus dij,courage a repetition
of the /iie attempts, then the foft piano
-■note is : these societies for political in-
Jormat'wn are Ddt worth minding ; go
veVnfiWnt-Tms- TViacrre ttr
from them than from thi: Free-Malons,
or from religious focietiej.
Compare the late newspapers with
those of i 793, and observe how those
j mock patviots who have no principles
j at all, chan*c the disguise of their ny
pocrify to fit the times.
If such men have bad memories, the
real patriots have not.
The three resolutions moved in the
House of Re'prefentatives of the United
States by Mi. W. Smith, exprcfiing
the thanks of that Houi'e to Major
Geneial Wayne, to the Officers and
Soldiers of the Legion of the United
States, and to General Scott and the
Kentucky Volunteers—wereunanimouf
ly pal Ted this day—on motion of Mr.
Parker, another rcfolution was added—■
That the Prcfident be requested to
transmit the lame.
A Cortimiktee was* appointed to wait
on'the Preiklmi with a eopy of the
irfglutions.
The motion of Mr. Mufray was next
taken up, and the
thanks of the House be given to the offi
cers and soldiers of riie militia of tie Statu
of New-Jersey, I'eirnfytvania Maryland
