"" I ... i r - the Cjz'tle of the Uijtcd States. NAVIGATION. Ms.. FtMNO, THE cncreaftng trade of this city induces me to make some obferrations, which may be' worthy the attenrion of '! the public, psrticularly the mercantile ■' part of the community. The idand oppolite to part of tfce harbour has by long experience been "" totind a great barrier to it, covering and flickering the (hipping from esllet )y galea, in projiortiou to its length. It ii too evident to require an expla nation how much fafer veflelj lie, when under this cov.t, to what they do when ■e e pofiJ to the whole scope of the river, hence it becomes an objeit of import ance to attend to the security of that island and bar. I believe not many of the inhabitants are apprized of the dan -1 - ger there is of a great diminution, if ' not of an entire deprivation of this spa rs cious cover to our valuable harbour. [. . I have taken notice of its alterations i and changes for these forty years, in is which time it has undergone several, u both as to increase and diminution— e from which circumflance the like isex pededin future. k 1 have, hpwever, seen no appearance ,jot its lengthening for many years. The il lower end has never been so short, s, within my memory, as at present.— With regard to the upper end, altho' 1 j I remember when the reed did not grow , as for up as at present ; yet the bar was broader and extended much farther up, l" and lam told has been much more co- F * vered with reed prior to my memory than at any time since. But now a conllant decrease has con tinued for 12 or 15 years at lead j and this must certainly be owing to the ex tension of wharves is well above and be low the city as within it; as the dimi nution of the island corresponds with , the course of their encroachments on river. Water will have a paflage, jj and if obstructed in one place, it will y immediately find another course. Thus is the waters, that used to flow where the U wharves now are, press on the island and 1 bar with a greater increase of force, a which, being composed of a loose sandy loom, easily give way to the pressure of the current, and the beating of the waves in windy seasons. It therefore becomes neceflary that y 'h £ ends (hould be guarded, which will be a mean of pr«ferving the length that is every day decreasing. While I am upon thisfubjeft, it may not be amiss to mention that by proper ly improving the fide next the river, a fafe aflylum may be obtained for vessel* during the winter ; as well as a place for ? veflels that arc not immediately loading ot discharging. This improvement will need the Legiflativc aid—l think it therefore a proper season to offer these remarks to the public, in hopes, some a ble ha id may be induced to take ud the A fubjefi. e OBSERVATOR. , For the Gazette of the United Staler.

Thurior, in the name of the Com- 1 mittee of Public Welfare Representatives of the people; by adopting unanimously yeflerday an ad dress which explains the principles im- ; prcfled on all virtuous minds, you have 1 I given a terrible firoke to all intriguers, villains, and particularly to all those pretended patriots, who plan in feciet the ruiiiof th'cir country. WEZEL, October 7. Wc have received accounts that the bombs thrown by the French-into Duf feldorp, from the other lide of the: : Rhine, have set fire to several parts of the town ; the imperial stables, the ho tel of Couftole and the imperial poft honfe are already burnt down ; tb e great tower is not only burnt but has fallen in, and by its fall done much da mage. Tire potl and couriers which went to that place from hence are come back again. When the post set out the castle was in flame*. BRUSSELS, October 4. The works before Bois-le-Duc ad vance with such rapidity, that the fe • cond paiallel is already entirely si, ifhed, not \vith (landing the violent fire which ■ the besieged keep up from the walls of the place. The principal strength o: Bois-le-Duc confiiU in the marihes and inundations wherewith this city is sur rounded, but the capture of fort Creve cceur has given the republicans the means to draw off these waters by ditch es made for that purpose. It fecms that the Duke of York and the hereditary Prince of Oran ? e, war riors, wh« notwithstanding their youth, have rendered their names famous by the mod brilliant exploits, it seems, I fay, that these heroes will make some ventu rous attempt to try tofave Bois-le-Duc, for this purpose all the Euglifli, Dutch, Hefiian and Hanoverta* troops, hither to divided into different corps join ed between Houfden pnd Gertruyden berg. But General Pichegru who saw through the intention of the enemy, has taken an excellent position, between the combined ermy and Boii-le-Duc, by means whereof the siege of that place is continued with fafety. The day before yesterday the enemy attempted a general reconnoitering of the army of observation, but this turn ed out unfortunate enough for them, for they were not only repulsed but a party of the Huflars of the Princess of Orange, were cut to pieces by the Re publican cavalry. The city of Breda is only closely surrounded. The bombardment of Maeftricht is continuad with the greatefl vivacity ; it rains bombs and red hot balls in that ci ty, which will very soon be nothing but a heap of ashes and ruins, unless they capitulate very soon. The besiegers are preparing to make a strong art.ck en Port St. Pierre the ftrbngeft bulwark of Maeftricht. PARIS Oft. ti. Brux tiles OS. 6. The vi&ery over the Auftrians before Juliers and the Roer is a very important one. Asa consequence of it the city and citadel of Juliers surrendered with an immense artillcty and warlike ammu nition ps all kinds. The Repuhlican army pursues closely the Auftrians who fall back precipitately on Berghen, and thence on Cologne. The greater part of the French cavalry is on the heels of the enemiy's rear guard, harrafs them continually and has made a great num ber of prisoners. As to the siege of Maeftricht, the works for the conftru&ion of entrench ments and batteries are carried on with all poflible rapidity. The garrison ps that place made a vigorous faliy the day before yesterday, I'a number about 4OCO but after a very bloody action' they were driven back with much loft. The works^before Bois-le-Diic have been puftied forward with such rapidity notwithstanding the difficulties which the nature of the ground presented that a number of batteries are there perfect ed, and have already injured some of external works of the place, while the bombardment destroys the interior. That night there pasted here a consi derable con voy of warlike ammunition confiding of upwards of 200 carriages loaded withbombs, bullets, powder &c. Half for the siege of Maeftricht, and half for that of Bois-.e-Duc. The desertion is on its height in the Austrian army ; even old Hungarian Grenadiers, drfert their Colours to come here, a thing hardly ever known before. Military Operations since the laling of Julicrtj; fFrom the report ofThuriotto the Convention] The army of t Sambre and Meufe left the banks of the Roer to reap the fruits of the victory or Juliers. Divided into three columns, one marched upon Bonn the other on DufteldorfT and the third upon Cologne. Hr viag driven in the advanced polls of the enemy, the re publicans have opened the trenches be foreDufleldorff, and have thrown ia some (hells ; the city i« ou lire. Tlitf Fiench army is in pcflVflion of Cologne ; we have found in it » nume rous ?rtillcry an arsenal faidto be the belt furnifhed of any in Europe, and immense magazines. Th is oar ohy;ft is fulfilled : the ene my is obliged to cross the Rhine and to abandon the moll advantageous positions for winter quaaters. What has happened at Cologne. is an nconteftible proof that all the people abhor the yoke of defpoiifm and that it is jult to separate their cause from that of kings. The inhabitants of Co logne received our republican soldiers with the liveliest expreflions of admira tion andjoy, it appeared as if they »ifh ed to be aftociatcs <31 their glory. This great example will encourage the people to demand an account of the blood shed in the cause of tyranny and will give energy to those who are friends to principles* Let the National Con vention remain firm and the enemies of the Republic will be annihilated.

The Convention ordered the proposi tions to be printed and referred to the committee. Oflober 7. The convention decreed, that Ville Affranchie fliall no longer be confide red as in a state of rebellion and Cege; it fliall reaffume the name of Lyons instead of that of Ville Affranchie, and the confif cation, pronounced by 1 preceding de cree is repealed, except those articles which concern objetSls for the arming and equipping of the armiej, and all kinds of military uores which will be at the disposal of the of commerce and sub sistence.

" This flandard, fays he, piaced henceforth at the head of our battalions will redouble our martial ardor and its fight while it (hall encourage us will strike the enemy with terror. General Jordan announces the receipt of the flandard sent to the army of the Sambre and Meufe. , " We are very sen sible of the gift ; and it imposes on us the obligation to do more than we have yet done. This flandard shall be our rallying point, and will strike terror in the ranks of our enemies- We all swear to defend the Republic or die." Tt.c letters of those "two generals were or dered on the minutes.
