IVillett, & O'Connor, Cape Charles. ONCE more upon this peaceful coast am 1 arri ved from forcignclimes, tra ifported by the winds of Heaven in my well coßltruCted car, attended by my faithful Eagle;—charged to relate the grand af fairs tranfafited on the Rhine by the embittered foes at w*r, on whom the eyes of all the world are fixed and wh.ife ears are open to dtink the tranficnt ru mors of their fearful deeds. But 1 coma not with the tongue of rti i.or only to report, but to report such things as ti uth will evidence, and such as, to which the rn'nd penetrated with their probability, will yield aflVnt. And who can paint the bloody battle t ; iat hasjuft occurred, but him who saw the ; fertile plains of the Palatinate drenched with human gore ifluetl from 'he lifelefs carcafrs of thirty thou- ' sand men ? Dreadful was the fight, sixteen thotifand Auftriatis, and fourteen thotifand Frenchmen bit tfecduft. Oil the fccond day of the battle the French lines were forcednear Creutznaeh with great (laugh ter ; the right wing of the French army however, gained some advantage, and held a pott of the Auf trians. that night, but on the following morning' ( were obliged to retreat to the main body of the ar- I my : a ruce of four days was agreed on to bury their dead. The number oppoled to each other in this battle were in favor of the French, fjnd the courage of the Autrianswas extreme in keeping their ground againftthe firjj attackofthe main body ( of the enemy commanded by Jourdan, which ad- , tanced to th« charge with more cool bravery and ] less enthusiasm than usual. Two regiments of Aus trian cavalry by a v rv fkilful manoeuvre, cut to | piejes a large body of French light armed infantry, and regained their position in the right wing with little lo&. Some General Officers have fallen on both fides, but no artillety worth noticing have been taken by either, nor any material advantage gained in pafl ioa. Genetal Clairfayt and Col. Mack are with the amy, appniatecf by the Emperor as part of a Cotin.il to direct the aperatioas of this cam paign. Pichegru whose military glory is checked in. itscarecr by the jealoufv of the Directory, b'ecaufe of his influence with the army, has not been removed but with the utmoll caution to avoid the a; * .-ar ? ance of disgrace. Difappiobation was even more than that ir>confiAenf body of men dared to (hew to him ; they know him to be brave, honest, and eapa ble, and to be beloved by his soldiers. But what is the confequense of his removal? The army i 6 diffatisfied ; thrit nerves are unstrung ; their ardor for battle is cooled ; their wifll for peace is increased and finding no hope of the latter, they desert their 0 So much for th« success of the diredtion JJ 1 of this weak and wicked Diredtory. Pichegru knows their instability of favor or justice to real me v tit, and heartily despises them ; yet he loves his country. He i* naw sent to' Sweden purposely to ■ incite the young king to take up atmS against his haughty and designing enemy the Empress ; hut he ' will not succeed, hor does he wish to succeed, for I he ktiows that it is not the interest of France thnt • Sweden fh^uld.— Both Denmaik and Sweden will exhibit Itfs in their warlike equipments, t;lis, than they did hft year, arid have good reason for it.— The triple compa£t may frighten more nations than r those, and some who arefiiither removed ; and how- • ' ever great the influence may appear to the uninform- ! \ ed, which the Freflich have had lately in the Tur- ! , cabinet, yet, Sir, you may believe that the j Tin ks are neither able or inclined to undertake a war against Ruflia, wherein they can promise to themselves neither a recovery of that territory they hive loft or conquest over more. Nor do they who are arbitrary in their own government, wilh to en- : cuurajrethenotionsofequalityadoptedby the French nation: the truth is they wilh to have nothing to do with the French. j The Ernpiefsai'd the king ofPruftia have.been ' . long afititing the allies in the scheme of deluding the N French by abfliyd ptopofals of peace, and vague ob | jeCtions to their offers, ptirpofcly to gain time in |[- the equipment of formidable armaments against France, Nothing has been less in the thoughts of England and Austria than making peace this sum mer, for why fhmild they despair of success witlj SS.; wealth united, and with the aid ii Prtiffir and RuQta whivh they will affnrtdly have ? 1 Ruflia has already marched fifty thotifand men tow p ards the scene of action, and completely equipped J" nine more fail of the line and eleven heavy frigates. ' Prussia has fixty-five thousand men, nrtt only to de-' f its ba)rier*.but to a6t offenfively oti t!ie fir ft good fueceilr of the Aultrians, and to ma the prmce of Orange, who is dow mustering bis adherents from the United Provinces, and ex;>e£ts to be joined ; 'by a very formidable number to recover his tormer consequence.

Ii we live that term, we shall fee the powers of Eu rope fixed nearly thus : France within its own pro per domains before the revolution, and deprived of many -of its foreign poffcflions. Prufira enlaiged by a territory of the Netherlands Contiguous to its late aequilition. The United P nces increased to a kingdom under the Orange family, by an addition of part of the fame country. Turkey, in Europe added to the o.vergrown dominion of Ruffta, effect ed by the joint sndeavor of the three allied conti nental powers. Hanover guaranteed to Great Bri- i tain, by the addition of a Haufe town or two,and every other Hanfe town on the continent deprived <>■ its privileges by that monarch to whom it may be ceded. 1 hus, fir, you perceive there can b« no ptofpeSt of peace this year, and that the mifuhievous principles of an impetuous nation has brought on a war and fermented by their depraved rulers, blown a flame so fierce in its rage as not to be readily e.t tinguifhed. Great Britain, though flrong in her wealth and naval force, finds enough to do to preserve the bal anc of war in her favor, nor are the fei vices of her navy in the captures they make, adequate to the ex pence theieof. Were her enemic6 better able to meet her boldly on the ocean, a decisive victory would (land high to her advantage as was the cafe on the ever memorable firft of June, 1794, but (lie is now only pestered with privateers. The weak condition of the enemy afloat, occasions murmurs in the British fcimen, whoallwifh to meet their match, the policy of Mr. Pitt may, perhaps soon throw another enemy into the scale that will yield more profit to them—the Spaniard ; who is much averse •ti> a war, his coffers being low, his foieign fiil»je6ts ready to mutiny, and dreading above all the heioic bravery and conduit of the British sailorS, Dispatch, my Eagle, and the welter n gale will waft me to the eastern shores of the wide Atlantic, where I lhall behold terrific scenes, progrtflive in their evils, concomitant with war, scenes, which, alas ! are soon to be exemplified in the high est arrangement of earthly disorder, at the metro polis of the wretched new republic of France. PHIL IPO DE SYLVIE. June 6, i 796. From the ConneHicul Gazette. The preservation of the health of individuals of the community, being of the utmolt confecjuencc to the public, and the happiness of private families, leads me to reqiieft you to pubiifll'the following. A number of workmen employed a few days fir.'ce at one place, being taken with a violent vo miting and pain in their bowels with other fymp sorm, one of whom wae f<> til that his life was near ly despaired of. led us to fufpeit that they by some mear.s, either in their diet or drink, had poi son. After some confnleiation it was concluded vbr pofforrmtrft be hi 3 ißigUiead of rum la'.e'y i;r. ported from Demarara, from which they had been fupp'ied with grog. Tiie hogfhciid was immedi ately (lopped, and application made to gentlemen conversant with chymical process ; but it not being usual to poison rum, as is the cafe fomrtimes with •viae, to correct its acidiiy ; no mode occurred to 1 hem. An accident however discovered a procefi which fully ascertained the deleterious quality in the rum ; mixing some rum from a calk, which had been colored with logwood, with the fufpcCted rum it immediately turned it black. This proved that the rum was highly charged with verdigreafe, the poifoncms qualities of which l Wo many have by care, leffnefs in uiing copper utensils for culinary and o ihct purposes, felt the baneful effefls. It is con jectured that in this instance it was occafiored by negle&ing to clean the copper (till, through which the rum passed in the course of distillation. It will be well for the purchasers, and paiticulirly for all retailers of rum, to prove it pore, by the iimple pro cess here lecommended, of pouring a little of the | extract of logwood into a proof glass of turn; if ( pure it will give it a handsome colol, but if impreg nated with verdi t reafe it will immediately turn black or blackilh in proportion to the quantity o [ the 1 verdigreafe it contains. A qutftion now rt. - li-j?, whether the verdigreafe can, by any process, be j txtra&ed from the rum, or precipitated to the hot- ] " j torn, so as to leave the ram pure > The following ■ i experiment was tried, which appears fully to answer | ' the pwrpofe ; but the writer not having made the ; i mfftry his fiudy, wishes some gentlemen would try j 1 this and othir experiments, and give the result to j 1 ' the public. In this instance extradt of logwood was mixed with the rum which turned it ' black, then milk well skimmed was added to it, and • well mixed, which immediately deltroyed the black ' color; and after fettling the rum entirely clear, ' was poured off, and extradtof lqgwood added to it, which did not change the color in the lead degree 1 to a black hue, only giving it a handsome oilor, such as is generally preferred. Thus it is thought the evil may be cafily discovered, and a temedy is ptovided.
