On the 28th of November, depart ed this life, the,honorable Frederick William Augustus Baron Steu bkn. This excellent man, whose name will be ever dear to the citizens of the Uni ted States, as long as virtue and patri otism (hall be refpt&ed, was a native of where his merit hacf railed him to places of the highest trust and diftinftion : He was aid-de-camp to the late king of Prufiia, and lieutenant governor of one of the circles of the Germnn empire. These polls, and o thers, he left to embark with us in the cause of freedom. In 1777 he arrived in America, and immediately joined our ahny as a volunteer. In 1778, Con gress gave him the rank of major-gene-' ral, vjhich was the highest grade in their power, and appointed him inspec tor-general to the army of the United States. Under the diladvantage of be ing a total stranger to our cultoms and language, of encountering the prejudi ces which exiftcd again:! foreigners, of reducing an army, fcarcelv then form ed, and continually changing, whose habits in civil life had not been thole of iubordination, and who, at that mo ment, weie combating that they might he free—fa reduce fuoh aq,army to the fir«sV rules of discipline, was a talk which none but a brave and virtuous man would have undertaken ; to bring this army to a point of kirow'ledge, ex actitude and order, which infinitely ex ceeded that of their veteran enerriy ; & at the fame time to acquire the love and veneration of the officers and sol diers, could have been effected by no other than Baron Steuben ; and no o,her heart than his could have repaid so fully the reward, which Heaven gave to the virtuous exertions of our army-*- the independence of their country. The Baron was a volunteer in the action of Monmouth ; commanded in Virginia with a handful of militia, a gainst Arnold and Philips ; and com manded in the trenches at York-town, on the day which concluded the itrug gles of America, on the day that Lord Corn villi's fui rendered rhe la ft hope of the king of Great Britain, To his military chara&er, the Baron added all the virtues of the citizen, and the ac coraphfhnieuts of the gentleman. His knowledge was extensive, his ttnder ftanding clear, and his judgment found. His heart was formed by nature to be open to all her children,' and he never dosed it. This is a short, a faint iketch erf" the character of the excellent Baron citeuhen, given by a man who had the honor to b; intimately acquainted with hjm fifteen years, and' who nerer knew him guilty of an unworthy action— never knew him oolit a good one.

In addition to the account already given of the extraordinary escape of this gentle man from the enemy at Guadaloupe, in whose hands he was prisoner upwards of three weeks, expelling every hour to be put to death—we now lay before our rea ders the following particulars received from an officer of Sir Charles Grey's army. " General Arnold was taken with some other gentlemen paflengers in a Daniih veiTe!. When under examination he plead ed indilpofirion, and by his great address. and command of good humour, he not only obtained permission to remain on board the vessel in which he had been captured, but, by a presence of mind which never leaves him, was equally fuccefsful, firft in saving all his papers from the officer sent to examine his trunks, and finally, by an uncommon combination of ingenuity and intrepidity, in efi'eifting his escape to the British army. It appears that very early afler their captivity, having obtained an intimation of their premeditated destiny, the General openly proposed the means of escape to the fliip's crew ; but they revolted at it as a measure which must prove fatal, if detected, and considered the means of attempting !t as little left desperate. The impending fate, however, growing more imminent, the General at length over came their scruples, so far as regarded him f' !'. The flake was life, en which I un dc, nd, there are many very strong claims 'vii, ! d, perhaps of more value to him than hi; own; andtolofea moment was perlu,p~ the only one left for its prefervati •n. No sooner was the consent of the 1 !"e* ta:aed to favour his departure, thai. ks .:t about conftru&fng a fmallraft, which when night came on, he lowered and set afloat, placed upon it a .trunk] and portmanteau, to balance each other, and then boldly committed himfelf to the waves. He took a small paddle in his hand, and laying flat on his breast, so that he might use the paddle impreceptibly and without noise, he fleered hikifelf thro' the enemy's Ihips and guard boats, and fuccefs fully made one of the Bntifii batteries, af ter being three hours in that situation, as critical and perilous as imagination can well paint. By this Day's Mail. NEW-YORK, Dec. 24. It is with painful feelings, that the Vice-President of the New-York State Soeiety of the Cincinnati, announces the death of the Society's late mod worthy President, Major-General Fre derick William Baron de Steu ben, who departed this life at Steuben Ville, on the morning of the 28th ult. Cpnfcious that his superior worth will b? recollected by his surviving brethren, that the bosoms of the truly great, the virtuous and the good, will nourish as they ought the memory of so inestima ble a friend ; and that while integrity, friendfhip, and charity, continue to be revered and refpwfled, that the name of STEUBEN, will occupy an elevated station in the annals of America. The Vice-President requests the members of the Society, to wear the usual mourn ing for three months, as a mark of their particular veneration and iefpe£t for the memory of their departed friend, whose benevolence and philanthrophy snoft of them have experienced, and whose im portant services to their country every soldier mult pointedly recolleift.

LONDON, October 14, By letters from Warsaw of the 16th ult. there is intelligence of an engage ment 011 the 13th of the fame month, between the Polish troops under General Dombrowfci, and the Pruflian corps polled at Kamiona, to guard a conside rable magazine of flour, oats, fait, and provisions of all kinds. General Dom browiki having divided his troops into three columns, attacked the Pruflians with equal skill and bravery. The firfl column forced the enemy and got pos session of Kamiona ; the second carried a battery ; and the third was equally fuccefsful in the object of, its attack. The Prufllang in thfs a£tion had loc men killed, and yy taken 1 rifoners, a among the latter of vhom were two of ficers. The whole of the magazines fell into the hands of the Poles. October 17.

The province of Fritzerland has cer tainly p«fented a memorial to the States General calling on them to take into their most serious consideration the a- larming date of the Republic, and to occupy themselves forthwith in restoring PEACE to the country. It Concludes with a declaration, that if the States General (hall not think it advifeable to make peace for the whole of the Unit ed States, they will certainly think it advifeable to treat separately for them selves. We can afTure our readers that a ne gotiation has for some time been open ed between the French and the King of Pruflia at Bade, It is condu&ed oil the part of the French by M. Peregaux, the banker, who is inverted with pow ers to treat for a separate peace with The King, by his agent, offered not merely to conclude a peace, but to ac knowledge the Republic, on the sole condition that they ftiould abandon the attack upon Holland. This they re fufed, not from hostility to the Dutch, but because they looked on the reduc- tion of the States General as the futeft and mod effectual means of waging war with their only remaining and molt im placable enemy, the English. We have this day given the proceed ings of the French Convention up to the Bth inft. By the papers from which they are taken, it appears that the con >te!l between the moderate and the vio lent party has been carried on with great vehemence in the Jacobin Club, and that every day adds strength to the former and weakens the latter.
