HOUSE as REPRESENTATIVES. Tuefdav, January 6. The bill for ascertaining the losses of the officers of the revenue, and other citizens, by the western insurgents, was read the third time. The blank in the bill was filled up with eight thousand five hundred dollars. The bill was then pad. A bill, making farther provision in cases of drawbacks, was read a third time, and pad. A memoiial from the sugar refiners in the city of Philadelphia was the« lead. It was of considerable length,' and dated, that the excise on refined sugar would terminate in the dejlruftion of the manufacturers. People refufed to buy the refined sugar with the addi tional excifc duty. The commodity, therefore, lay on their own hands. The business had, in fad, been put an end to This memorial was referred to the' fame committee as that of the fnuff ma leers.

I —I BALTIMORE, Jan. 6. Gn Sunday evening arrived the ship Juliana, Capt. Willink, 7 weeks from Hamburgh. The verbal information of the Captain is, that no recent engage ment of magnitude had taken place since the battle of Juliers, and that Amflerdam was not taken, but its situ ation appeared so critical to the Duke of Yoik, that he propafed marching into it with 15,000 of his troops to de fend it. This, however, it appears, was received with indignation by the merchants, who declared they would sooner take the musket and defend it themselves, as long as they were able ; and that if they proved too weak, they would surrender to the French, rather than permit it be said, that the capital of Holland was indebted for its fafety to the troops of George the 11 Id Captain Willink left about 60 Ameri can veflels at Hamburgh. Spoke none. The Juliana brings much the latejl news of any arrival from the continent oj Europe—-papers having been received by her as late as the ijl of November. We "were favoured by a kind Gentle man with Hamburgh Gazettes, from the llth of October, down to the latejl date ; from •which we have, in hqjle, tx&njl ted the following summary and EXTRACT. That the Duke of York's head quarters were on the 15th of October between Ni meguen and Arnheim : at the latter of which places the Duke himfelf had arriv ed—and that it was expelled his Head Quarters would shortly bt removed thither —that an attempt had been made to drive the French from between the rivers Maefe and Waal, in which the Britife had been defeated—that every thing was in confu fion at Nimeguen, the French having un expectedly crossed the Maefe, and advan ced to within a league and an half of that place, forprifed a British regiment, and entirely cut it to pieces, not leaving a Tin gle man alive—that Venloo was inveftcd by 15,000 French, who "were also in great force at Ruremonde —that the garrison of Maeftricht made a vigorous sortie, and killed a great number of the befiegcrs—* that the patriotic society of Amilerdam b«#n brok«n up 4 pap#r« fe iji ed—that 600 French cavalry had entered the city of Cleves, but departed in the ev_ ening without doing any mifchief—and that the imperial Diet are busy in concert ing plans for negociating a peace with the French Republic. Different accounts relate that the Ruf fians have had several severe engagements with the Poles, in which the latter seem to have been generally much worsted ; & as great numbers of the vanquished would not a(k pardon of their conqueror?) they were butchered on the spot. On the 10th October, Kofciufko, with his whole army was totally defeated by the Ruffian gene ral Van Ferfen ; himfelf, and three other generals, were taken prisoners j in eoufe. quence of which several Ruffian dfcifions were marching against Warsaw, where great difaffecftion prevailed, and many in filled on imploring forgiveneft of their .enemies. In Ihort, the different account, frot..

Accounts from the Lower Elbe ftatej that intelligence has beeu from Ratilbon, that the Diet have agreed to de bate the question on the ceflation of hof tilities —that the coadjutor of Mayence will proceed to Paris for the purpose of ac_ celerating it—and that the Greffier of Hol land is said to have gone to London, to re* move the obstacles to a negociation of peace with France.

Another squadron of 4 frigates, 2 corvettes, and a brig, cruised so year ly, the fame time, off Cape Finitterre, and with equal success. Two frigates and two (loops, dis patched from L'Orient, went to the North Seas, where, and on tbeir pass age to that station, they captured up wards of 60 fail of (hips, part of which they bfok and burned for want of hands t 0 rtian them.

Another squad ron of five frigates was lying at Fal mouth, besides a powerful fleet at Ports mouth and Plymouth. Will it not appear adonilhing that a period of about 11 months above 960 fail of (hips belonging to the different nations, have been captured by exerti ons of only 16 frigates and 8 corvettes and (loops ! The evil, however, is not confined to the loss of property ; 'for, (holild the war continue, as things go, there would (hortly be a very great want of seamen, for the number r.ow in prison in France it pethaps beyond what is generally imagined.—The blame reds some where, for the naval force of the nation, if properly directed, is am ply fufficient to protect us.

The detailt of tbe affair of the 14th and 1 >th, have reached us, notwith standing theprecautions which the house of Orange take to keep thein secret.. The firft day the loss of the Englilh was immettfe—The Regiment of York, was cut in pieces—Three others were made prisoners—One Hanoverian and one Hefiian Regiment being elofely prefled, perilhed in the water in at tempting to save themselves by Swim ming. It appears that the Hollanders had no part in this affair—being priclpally diflriv buted in the strong parrifons—we are as sured that four Prussians have marched to Nimcguen to reinforce the EngMh. There were great cries and vociferati ons ycfterday in the Jacobin Club—The. Representative of the people, Lejeune reproached vehemently Billaud Var rennes and Collot d'Heibois lately mod famous Jacobins, for their silence in a crisis so cruel. They excused them-, selves from the opprefled state in which, the Patriots groaned, and particularly themselves. Billaud Varennes—obferved, besides that in present circumstances, silence was more energetic, perhaps, than in effeflual speeches. They both made their tows for the fafety of the patriots, which they would defend in every great ciilis; and from the people, nothing Ihould evet separate tliern. A question was afterwards agitated on the means of continuing a correfpor dence with the affiliated Societies, not withstanding the decrec. Baffal—ex-curate of- Versailles, said he would render the decree nugatory— notwithstanding after a tedious and long difctiflion, they separated at eleven o' clock at night, and adjourned the ques tion to the next day. In this manner all institutions dege nerate by abuses—All their all that renders them reff>e£table arid great, is insensibly loft—and the fall of the tattered Ci>loiTus hardly attracts tVeT attention of the pallengets, v.ho fee it roll in the dust. port of Philadelphia ARRIVED.
