D c g tar r $> « •<? e v ] « H E defpatches, of which the following are extracts, have been received from Sir Charles Grey, K. B. by the Right Hon. Henry Dundas, one of his Majefty's Principal Secretaries of State. Guadaloupe, June 11, ' 794- We received an exprefs at St. Chriftopher's on the 4th inftant, with the unwelcome news of the deceafe of Major- General Dundas, who died of a fever at Guadaloupe, after a few davs illnefs ; and in him his Majefty and his country lofe one of their braveft and beft officers, and a moft worthy man. I) too, feel feverely the lofs of fo able an afliftant bn this arduous fervice, and a valuable friend ever t o be lamented. Before day of the 5th another exprefs arrived at St. Chriftopher's from Guadaloupe, with intelligence that feveral fail of French line of battle ( hips, with frigates, tranfports, and 2600 land forces 011 board, had appeared off Point a Petre, Grand TerrC, on the 3d inftant. The Admiral made immediate fail for Guadaloupe, and we reached Baffe T e r r e in the afternoon of the 7th inftant, receiving further intelligence that the enemy had landed, forced Fort Fleur d'Epee before day of the 6th inftant, and were actually in poffeffion of it, with Fort Louis, Fort Government, the town of Point a Petre, & c. and the flipping anchored in the harbour. I landed immediately at Bnffe T e r r e , and the Admiral proceeded, with the fhips of war, to Point a Petre, where he anchored at noon of the 8th inft. during which 1 continued vifiting the potts, and giving the r. ecelfary orders at Baffe T e r r e ; and in the evening of the 9th following I returned to the Boyne, to concert meafures with the Admiral for regaining Point a Petre and Grande Terre. We have fent to the. different iflands to c o l l e t nil the force that can be fpared, in particular the flank companies, part of whom are already arrived; and as every effort fhall be made On our part, at the fame time that we can thoroughly depend on the bravery and exertions of our troops' and feamen, I hope foon to render a geed account of this fecond expedition, having their fhips completely blocked up within the inner harbour, which are now found to confift of two frigates, one corvette, two large fhips, appearing to be armed en flute, and two other fhips within land, fo that it cannot be exactly difcovered what they are. Their troops confift of about 1 t oo men, joined by fome mulattoes and negroes, fjnee landing, of courfe. I tranfmit herewith the report and returns of Lieutenant- Colonel Drummond, of the 43d Regiment, who commanded at Fort Fleur d'Epee and Point a Petre, at the time of its being retaken by the French; which armament that retook it failed from Rochefort about the 15th of April lall, having i a d a pafiage of 41 days. S I R , Baffe Terre, June 9, 1794. I embrace the earlieft opportunity to inform you of the arrival of a fquadron of French men of war 3t the iOand of Guadeloupe, and of the lofs of Fort Fleur d'Epee, which was taken by itorm on Friday the 6th inft. Oa Tuefdiy- t h e sd inft. I received intelligence from Captain M'Dowall, of the 43d Regiment, at S t . Anne's, that nine fhips, bearing the National colours of France, were then off the town of St. Francois, and feemed to be failing along the coaft towards Point a Petre. This report was confirmed foon afterwards by the arrival of other expreffes from different parts of the colonies; and at half paft four o'clock the French fquadron, confifting, as I am informed, of two fhips of 50 guns, one of 40 guns, armed en flute, one frigate, with five tranf- . ports, came to anchor about a mile and a half beyond the village of Gozier, and immediately began t o difembark their troops. On the receipt of Captain M ' D o w a l l ' s letter, I enclofed ^ copy of it to Major- General Dundas, and on the arrival of the French fleet I fent a fecond exprefs to Baffe T e r r e , explaining the nature of my fituation, and requeuing a re- enforcement, as it was generally fuppofed the enemy meant to attack us in the evening of the 4th inft. and as I had received no anfwer to my letters to Major- General Dundas, I fent to Captain Buchanan, of the 39th Regiment, who I was informed was then at Marygat with 70 men, to defire he would march with all pofiible expedition to ouraffiftance ; but the anfwer I received to thofe applications was one letter from Major Maitland, faying Major- General Dundas was dead, ? nd that he had communicated my defpatchcs to Lieutenant- Colonel Blundell, with a fecond from the Lieutenant- Colonel, expreffing a doubt whether it would be prudent in him to afford me any affiftance or no. The communications were fecondedby the two enclofed letters, which were put into my hands i few hoars before the enemy attacked the f o r t . On the evening of the 3d inft. I took every precaution to ftrengthen the poft of Fort Fleur d'Epee, and to make the beft pofiible defenfe in cafe of an attack, tliat the nature of our fituation would allow. All the detached companies of the 43d Regiment were ordered in ; the inhabitants were affembled, and arrived in their feveral parifhes, as well as all the Englifh merchants and failors at Point a P e t r e ; and M fix o'clock on Wednefday morning I was happy to find I had a body of near 30& men at that Fort, vhic'i I was in hopes would have proved formidable rarmgh to co. aateraft any offenfive operations of the enemy, till I could procure a military re- enforcement from Bade Terre. During the whole of Wednefday the 4th and Thurfday the ; t h inft, the enemy contented themfelves with plundering and burning the houfes and eftates of fome gentlemen in the vicinity of Gozier. I had every reafon to believe, from the information of the parties fent out to reconnoitre the enemy on the 4th inft. that the whole of their force did not amount to more than 300 men, and tbat they were not only worn out by the length of the voyage, but fatigued alfo with the excefs they had committed from the moment of their landing. ImprelTed with this idea, the Rovaiifts in the fort were anxious to inarch oat, and, if pojible, furprife the enemy at their poft, by which means we m'ght have cut off their communication with any difaffe& ed people in the colon1', and probably have forced them back again t o their fhlps. I was perfuaded fuch an attempt might be of fervice, if effe& ed with refolution, and at the repeated folicitations of the Royalifts, I permitted them to afiemble 150 voluntiers, arid put them under the command of Captain M'Dowall, of the 43d Regiment, who offered to d i r e d their operationsi rl he party marched from the fort about eight o'clock in the evening; but, I am forry to fay, my hopes of the benefit we might have derived from the fuccefs of this attempt were entirely defeated, by their want of fteadinefs and difcipline. I n marching along the road leading to Gozier, a few fliot were fired, probably by a picquet of the enemy's, from the bullies at the fide of the road : The moft fhameful panick inftantly prevailed throughout the whole party : A general difcharge of mufquetry commenced; many of them threw away their ? rms and deferted to the town; fome few returned to Fleur d'Ep^ e, and it was with the greateft difficulty Captain M'Dowall could colleCt about 30 of - them together, who he marched fome minutes after into the f o r t . I am forry to add, that the next morn'ng were found three of the Royalifts dead, and four wounded. On the morning of Thurfday the jth inft. the enemy landed 13 boats crowdcd with failors, and, from the information of a prifoner brought into the f o r t , I learnt it was their intention to attack us that night, and that their numbers amounted to from 1200 to 1500 men. As I law, from the conduCt of the Royaiilts on the preceding night, that I had very little to hope from their fteadinefs and refolution, I took the precaution to defend the gate, and line the weakeftpart of the work, with the f o d i e r s of the 43d Regiment, keeping a fmali body as . a corps de Referve, to a f t on the approach cf t^. t- enemy. At eleven o'clock a party of'horfe, that had been fent out to reconnoitre, returned, and informed me ti. e enemy were on their march, and in pofl'effion of the viliage bf Gozier. At one o'clock on Friday morniug the ad vanced picquet came into the f o r t , and we then diftinftly heard the approach of the enemy along the road, leading from the village. We inftantly commenced a hie of grape ihot from one 24 pounder and two field picces, which threw them into great confufioh, and mult have been attended with confiderable effeft. The enemy halted for two or three minutes, and then, at the perfuafion of their officers, marched on to the foot of the hill, and began to ftorm the work. We kept up a very heavy fire of mufquetry for about 15 minutes; The enemy were evidently repulfed, and I am perfuaded, that had the Royalifts afted with refolution at that moment, we might have maintained our ground ; but, on the firing ceafing, numbers of them concluded the place loft, and, abandoning their pofts, ran in crowds towards the gate. I t was in vain for the foldiers of the 43d Regiment to oppofe their progrefs; the gates were laid open, and nearly one half of the whole body deferted to the town. The gates were again clofed as foon as poflible, and the fmall body of the 43d Regiment, which I had kept in referve, moved 011 to the attack. They oppofed the enterance of the enemy for fomt time, but one fide of the work having been abandoned and left entirely defenfelefs, we found ourfelves nearly furrounded, and I then ordered the foldiers I had with me to charge their bayonets, and retire a few paces to a fpot where we might be better able to defend ourfelves. Here we halted, and received a volley of mufquetry from a number of the enemy that had formed themfelves in a body in our front. The crowd of people that now came ruthing from e r e r y quarter towards the gate rendered every effort of the foldicrs ineffectual: Overpowered as they were, they found therafelves difperfed, and obliged to retire. 1 gonfulted with two or three officers that continued at my fide upon the poffibility of rallying once more, and ftill defending the place; but it was their general opinion that the fort was no longer tenable, and that we ought to retire ; I therefore permitted tire gate to be opened, and ordered a retreat to Fort- Lonis. On my arrival at Fort Louis I aflembled the foldiers, with a refolution to defend the poft ; but finding that I had not quite 40 men, and that it would be impofliblc to hold out againft the enemy, I thought it more prudent to retire, and fave the remains of the Regiment, than to furrender them prifoners of war. I , in confequence, ordered the men to march; and, collecting the detachment at Fort Government, with the foldiers that had efcaped lingly from Fleur d'Epec, I proceeded to Petit Canal; and, having embarked in two boats, fet fail for Baffe Tcrre, where we arrived at eleven o'clock yefterday morning. Enclofed I have the honour to tranfmit to your Excellency a return of the prefent ftate of the 43d Regiment, but it is not in my power to determine the number of our killed and pounded ; neither can I form any opinion of the lofs fuftained by the Royalifts at Fleur d'Epee ; but I am apprehenfive it muft have been very confiderable. I am forry to add, that Captain Suckling, of the Britifh Artillery, was wounded with a bayonet in the breaft, and left at Point a Petre. I cannot conclude this letter without expreffing my approbation of the conduft of the officers and foldiers under my command : Their intrepidity in meeting any danger, and their exertions in rallying our force, were confpicuous in the extreme, and fuch as will ever claim my warmeft acknowledgements. I have the honour to be, Sir, your Excellency's moft obedient, very humble fervant, ( S i g n e d ) JAMES DRUMMOND, Lieut. Col. of the 43d Reg. C O P Y . S I R , Baffe Terre, June 14, 1794. I have had the honour of receiving your two expreffes, and have forwarded them to his Excellency Sir Charles Grey, in hopes they may find him at Antigua, or St. K i t t ' s.

I n confequence cf your letter to Captain Buchanan, which Colonel Blundell has juft feen, the Colonel has ordered about 80 men of the 39th Regiment now affembled at Marygat, under the command of Captain Bell, and Captain Buchanan, together with about twenty inhabitants of this Diftrict, as well as fome from Capelterre, t ® move this evening, with the utmoft Difpatch, to vour r e l i e f ; as they will, if poffibie, be all mounted, I expect they will be with you to- morrow morning. T h i s force will be fuppo.' ced by three companies of Light Infantry, likewife mounted, who will march from Trois Riverres this morning at five o'clock, and will not be long after the firft reinforcement. A quantity of Ammunition went through this place an hour ago for you. I expeft more will foon follow. The Colonel is f o r r y he had no intimation from you of your fituation, as, if he had, he might have taken meafures for your relief. I have the honour of being, Sir, Your moft obedient Servant, R.

I have fome force already at the town and battery of Petit Bourgli, and fhall make a landing - on the fide of Fort Fleur d'Epee, and Point- a- Petre, in a day or two ; and I hope to regain our eonquefts before any length of ti;. ie can elapfe, as every effort will be made to accomplifh it fpeedily. Point- a- Petre, Guadaloupe, June 14, 1794. The enemy having croffed the mouth of the harbour from the Town of Point- a- Petre, and encamped at the Poft of St. Jean, or Gabaree, the oppofite point, I judged it a favourable opportunity of attacking them, which was done accordingly at eleven o'clock laft night, under the command of Brigadier- General Dundas, who executed this fervice with fuch f p i r i t and good conduct, as to kill a con- • fiderable number of them, and the others fled in the utmoft confternation, took to the water to fwim acrofs the harbour, in which fituation they were fired on, and many more killed. Brevet Major Rofs, of the 31ft Regiment, who was with the Light Infantry, behaved with great gallantry and good conduCt on this occafion, as he had done on every other. The Enemy's Camp, Colours, Baggage, & c. with one piece of cannon, fell into our hands, but no prifoners that I have yet heard o f ; a. partywas however in purfuit of thofe - who had not'thrown themfelvcs into the water, and fled with equal precipitation by land. A Serjeant, Corporal; and eight Privates, of our Light Infantry, are wounded, but not one killed. This report is juft brought to me by Captain Ogle, one of my Aides- du- Camp, who was prefent. In juftice to the Legiflature of St. Chriftopher's, with Prefident Stanley at their head, and that of Antigua, w i t h Prelident Byam at their head, I have to report the moft laudable exertions in them to raife Seamen for the Navy on this Service, por have they been unfuccefsful, .

FOREIGN A F F A I R S, Barcelona, July z. An unhappy affair took place here laft Sunday, which we were apprehenfive might have been attended with further confequences; but, from the precautions taken to preferve quiet, feems to be terminated with the melancholy effefts which the fury of the moment produced. The corps, compofed of French deferters and prifoners, called Royal Roufillons, which had been fent back from the frontiers, and indeed difbanded by t h e difmiffion or incorporation of the officers into other regiments, had continued here in a ftate of great diforder, on account of the irreconcileable enmity that reigned between the two parties. All the deferters had in ' confequence been fome days ago returned to the citadel, and were molt of them entering into la Legion de la Reyna. The reft of the corps, about 300, confifted entirely of enlifted prifoners, but d i f - fering ftill in their politicks, continued in a ftate of ft rife and diforder, fhut up in a quarter called S t. Atiguftin, upon the Efplai.- ada, till the Sunday a f t e r - noon, when the majority having pourtrayed fome wretched figures of a Tree of Liberty, of a Kino-, of a Guillotine, & c. forced the reft'to dance, and fing Republican, fongs. Government, on account of this fcandalous riot, ordered a detachment of the other French Corps, called la Legion de la Ryna, to go and fupprefs i t, aud feife the riag- lcaders, which was accordingly dohc, and twenty- eight of the moft turbulent were. taken out and carried to the Quarters at Barcelona. T h i s , however, unfortunately taking place juft at the time when the ftreets were crouded by the populace following a proceffion, a mob was immediately gathered upon the Efp'ianada; and the ftate of the incredible infolence of thefe wretches, who had dared thus openly, to infult the King and the Nation, fermenting with falfe and exaggerated circumftances in the minds of the people, they inlifted that the delinquents fhould immediately be - put to death, upon the fpot on which they had been - g u i l t y . By this time the Captain- General, the Governor of t h e town, and the principal Magiftrates of the Royal Audencia, were afi'embled before the Quarters, and' ufed every means to appeafe the tumult that ttill continued within, and where a numb^ f o f the French were fuppofed to have been wounded, and even killed by their Commanders. . All cndeavbiirs, however, proving ineffectual, and the peonls continuing clamorous and refnfing to be, fJtisii| d,.; TiU all the real delinquents fhould be executed; iii,' the | morning about tea o'clock, the troops which had furrottv. dc^ tr. tm iS rrary sre allowed to th. i qnatters, 4i » c.' V t t ij of the town's peop'- e as chole i t , wenter and quell the riot bv'force. The Confequsnce Of this, perhaps, rafh mtafure, was,_ that every perfon found in the quarters was immediately killed, or danp- eroufly wounded : — ( 2 3 of the dead were buried publicklv on Monday ; between 70 and 80 of the wounded are in the hofpital, and about 40 who were fo lucky as to efcape by different ways, have been " fir. ce col. lefted at the dftferters defpot. After the malfacre was over in the quarters, one or two accidents to « k place without. Late on Monday morning, two of the French deferters " who were at vvo. ik in the covered way of the citadel, were killed ; it is not known bv whom : and an Italian, quite unconcerned in the fray, being - tnken for a Frenchman, was murdered in the mark e t p l a c e del Borne, by a dragoon. Happily, however, no other act of violence was committed ; and as about jooo of the Municipal Guard have patroled the ftreets night and day ever fince, all apprehenfions feems to have fubfided. L O N D O N . Yeftcrdnv morning th" Duke of Portland, Mr. P i t t , ani Lord Ore. v.' ille, had a private audience of the King at Windfor- Lodge. Yeflsrr lav beino- the Prince of Wales's Birth- Day, was kept as a Holiday. No bulaefs was done at any of the Publick Offices. His Highnelfes's Tradefrr. en dir. ed at the Star and Garter Tavern, Pall- Mall, an3 in the evening there were illuminations at the r houfes. Yefterday a Board was held at the Admiralty- OiTice, when' feveral Officers attended, and took leave on going on board the grand fleet. Two 74 gun fhips were ordered to be put into commiffion. Letters were yefterday received at the Duke of Portland's• Office from Quebeck, dated June i>, which mention t h a t ' M r . Beatfon, Ship- builder, had launched a ( hip of 400 tons burthen from the King's Yard, which he has called the Royal Edward, in honour of Prince Edward, whofe amiable qualities are much praifed and admired in that quarter. T h e Corunna Mail whish arrived on Monday brought the Spanifh official account of the battle w i t h the French on tbe 26th of June, at Puycerda. T h e Madrid Gazette of the 2 2d ult. ftates the lofs of the Spaniards on the above occafion as follows : Sixty- fix killed; 44 wounded ; 208 prifoloners, or miffing. T h e fuccefs of the Conventionalifts againft the Combined Powers, would, it was thought, have confolidated the credit of the Committee of Publick Safety in Paris, and ftrengthen the authority of its leader:— But what is now daily paffing in Paris, is, on the contrary, a proof that the leaders of the Revolutionary Government totter upon their Thrones. Whilft Robefpierre plotted the downfall of the. Girondifts, the Hebertifts, Dantonifts, & c. he was feldom feen in publick ; certain of triumphing, he remained behind the curtain, and only his fubaltern inftruments appeared. Now, he fcarcely ever is abfent f r om the Club of the Jacobins, whofe tribune he often afcends. Formerly, he never appeared but to decide the arrefl: or death of his adverfaries ; but he has not fufficient authority now to imprifon thofe whom he has called villains and confpirators ir. the jsidft of the Convention. He daily declaims againft them, but no longer dares t » name them : he denounces them to the popular fury, but he is heard in filer. ee. Be this as it may— that there exifts at this moment two leading Faftions in Paris, who fecretly watch each other, is certain. The Anti- Robefpierrifts are the more numerous in the Convention ; and Robefpierre's aim is to oppofe the Jacobins to them. Nothing decifive has been yet done, but the preparations are in great forwardnefs. The explofion which is to occafion a new Revolution, cannot be far diftant. What wiliVi the i. Tue, or 011 which fide the viftory will be, cannot yet be foref* H i t h e r t o , in every period of the Revolution, the molt infamous party has conquered ; and it. is difficult to conceive that there can e. xift one fuperiour to the Robefpierrifts in every fpecies of crime. T h e American Minifter at Paris is faid to be charged with a fpecial Meffage to the King of Pruffia in favour of General La Fayette. ExtraSl of a letter from Guernfey, Aug. 6. " By five prifoners who efcapcd from the prifon of Qtiimper on the 23d July, we learn, that the country appeared to them very thin of inhabitants, and that the harveft, which is very indifferent, is chiefly got in by women ; that the people they met with were very kind to them, being diflatisfied with their prefent government; that from what they could learn, the Royalifts were ftill in arms in La Ver. d'c, where people were forced to go againft; their will; and they affirm, that if a fafficlent force to give proteftion was at hand, many of the Bretons would declare thcmfelves.

" E C U L I A R are the hardfhips f u f e r e d by the family by the death of the ir. tuihbent at the eve of barveft. Two third' of the charge, of building and rebuilding Parfonage- houfes revert, in Ireland, to the family of him who incurred the firft expenfe ; yet that juft politick law was never introduced into this kirfgdom. I t was a conftant tifnge of this church, ( when fettled does not appear), that, if a Minifter of a parifh lived till Lady- Day, or a few weeks after, he bad a right of difpofing, by will, of the fruits of the next harveft ; and it was confirmed by Edmondof Abington, Archbifhop of Canterbury, 1236, and receive { as an eftablilhed law. The reafon was, becaufe the Incumbents, having difcharged the duty all the winter, when little or no profit accrued from the preferment, muft otherwife receive a very fmall recompence ; the confequence whereof would be an inability to pay their debts. A Synod of the diocefe of Norwich, 1255, declared a breach of this cuftom to be very unjuft, and threatened excommunication to the violators of fo valuable a privilege. A fimilar conftitution was confirmed by Cardinal Wolfey for the Clergy of . the province of York, 1518. By the conftitution of Thurftan, Archbifhop of York, the Prebendaries of all the Collegiate Churches in that diocefe were allowed to difpofe of a year's profits of their preferments after their death. The members of the church of Lincoln have enjoyed, for upwards of 500 years, the benefit of this rule. Pope Honorius I I I. confirmed an old law of the fame kind to the Dean and Chapter of Lichfield. There was the fame rule and praftice in feveral parts of Ireland. The Clergy refolutely maintained their own cuftom in oppofition to the canon law, by which not only the fubfequent profits, but what an Incumbcnt had faved from the fruits of his benefice, were to revert to the church, till the reign of Henry V I I I . when it was fupetfeded by the Aft of which we complain. One profeffed defign of this Bill, giving the profits from the time of avoidance, was, to enable the fuccefTor to defray the heavy charge of firft f r u i t s , which were highly raifed after they were taken from the Pope and annexed to the Crown, and to enable him to be more expeditious in the payment of them. But, in many cafes, the reafon remains in part only, and in a greater number does not at all fubfift. The firft- fruits of moft parochial livings are much lefs in proportion to the real profits than they were fome years a g o ; and, by the ift of Elifabeth and yth of Anne, the much greater number of livings in England are difcharged. Of 28 principal Cathedral and Collegiate Churches, 13 only are rated, 14 were never in charge, and Windfor was difcharged by A f t of Parliament. Under thefe circumftances, if we are guided by the declared intention of the Legiflature, more than half the Clergy who fucceed to vacant benefices ought not to aflame the privilege given them by this ftatute ; and, with refpeft to the reft, the cale is fo materially altered, they ought in equity to forego i t . For, befides the advantages which they receive f r sm t h e improvement of their livings, they are not under the fame difficulties in the payment of their firft- fruits with thofe whom the Bill had in view ; and, as to the fees for inftitution and induftion, they have not been much augmented for near 200 year*. T h e profefled reafon no longer remaining, for which the claufe of the ftatute of Henry V I I I . was er. afted; why fhould not the Clergy be relieved from the partial and inequitable effefts of it ? I f an Incumbent dies before harveft, lie has but a fmall compenfation for his labours during the greater part of the year. Befides, his tithes ate lubjeft to the land- tax, to affeflments for the relief of the pcor, and the repair of the highways, fee. and they muft all be paid to the. hour of the death of the Incumbent ; though, as the law now ftands, the rreatcft part of the revenue for which he is charged, •> ecomes from that time the property of another. The ftatute of the 1 i t h of the late King gives to the executors of tenants for life a title to the proportion of the annual rent to the time of their * ceafe; and a fubfequent A f t of Parliament virtually repeals a former A f t in every inftance where they are contrary to each other. Upon , a fuppofition we fhould grant the Bill of Henry V I I I . not to have been extremely partial at the tima of its commencement, yet, from a variety of caufes, it may be now moft injurious and oppreffive ; for, as the feveral dues for offerings, furplicefees, & c. & c. bad a much greater proportion to the tithes than they have at prefent, and were received in different parts of the year, an Incumbent who died a little before harveft was not equally aggrieved; and, though they are now trivial funis, they would at that time purchafe many of the neceffaries of life; for, Lord Mansfield faid, that a fee of 2s. in the ift of Elifabeth would now amount to 20s. A faint attempt was made at the beginning of this century, to effett an alteration of the Bill in queftioti, by fecuring a proportionable fliare of the annual profits of livings to the executors of Incumbents, according to the time of their poflelfion. The want of fuccefs was attributed to D r . P •, yet he allows that the profits Ihouid accrue to him on whom the fervices and burthen fall; and every equitable man mult grant, that the perfon who has performed the d u t y , and fupported the incumbrances | n \ l they thought it very fair to ireimburfe tlieifloifes when a favourable Opportunity offered. What is this but to'maintain that>. becaufe one man hath dealt rigoroufly by me, it is allowable for me to a f t in the fame harih manner by another ; in direft violation of that golden rule of equity, which requires us t o do as itie would he, and not as we have beerti done by ?

Thefe complaints, whether- the caufe of them be a cold, excefs of eating , or drinking, fatigue of body or mind, a too aftive or fedehtary life, a gouty or a bilious dlfpqfition, & c. & c. are generally difciu vered by fome obftrvj^ tions in the minute veflels, or by feme defett in the natural: - fecretions.— As a remedy for thefe enU, the celebrated Inventor of the Fever- Powder compofed hi* Analeptick Piiis, and he exhibited in himfelf a memCHsMe inftance of their efficacy ; for, by the conftant ufe of them, though a fice- liver, he attained to the age of 75.

The Imperial General de Neu takes upon him the comjnand of that place. A paf- t of the Pruflian troops remains before Mayence : another part has advanced higher, t o defend the paffage of the Rhine; while a third covers Coblentz.

The apprehenftons of the approach of the enemy are fubfided here. Manhetk, July 31.

We had only a few men wounded. The whole of this feems to have been a ftrong reconnoitring bufinefs. Frankfort, Aug. 2. The fortrefs of Luxembourg is providing with every thing for a ftout refinance; and, to prevent the enemy from penet r a t i ng <> n that fide, the Pruflian army will make a movement towards the Mofelle and Treves, in order to fupport the left wing of the Auftrian army along the IWaefe. The above arrangements were made on the 25th of laft month between the Duke of Ssxe- Tefchen, General MollendorfF, and the f r i n c e de Reus, who was lent to the Pruflian Ilead- Qearters by the Prince de Cob<? urg. The burning of the Palatine town of Kufel is confirmed ; it was done by a decree of the French Convention. Binyen, July 16.

The laft advices from the Rhine feem to concur in giving us to believe that the Imperial and Pruflian armies have given up all further operations on the left fliore of that river, by concentrating their forces, and keeping upon the defenfive; for which purpofe Manheim is in a manner put in a ftate of fiege, and 10,000 Auftrians will garrifon Mentz.

Here, as well as in foreign countries, thefuccefles of the French have o cafioned a talk of peace, and even a fpeedy one ; but it docs not appear, from the fpeeches of the heads of the Go Dernment, or thofe of their agents, that they wilh to infpire the people with any fuch ideas. Robefpierre, in a fpeech at the Jacobin Club, accufed Fauche in the ftrongeft terms, and concluded b y declaring, that Fauche was a vile and defpicable impoftor ; in confequence of which he was expelled the club, and moft of the people think this a prelude t o his being fent before the Revolutionary Tribunal. Barrere announced the taking of Nieuport, and the furrender at difcretion of its garrifon of zoco men. The ar-. Tves of the S&' abre and the Maefe, he laid, were advanced to Tirlemont.

The fury of the Genevefe Jacobins has chiefly fallen on thofe Members of the Republick, who, in 1792, invoked the affiftance of the Swifs, againft the enterprizes of the Convention. This is a fufficient warning to the Cantons of Switzerland, of the da. iger which threatens them ; f o r it is bevond a doubt, that the Conv- ntion feeks to fow diffention among them ; and, after fecuring a ftrong party, it will fuddenly fall upon their richell cities, to regain, bv pillage, the immenfe fums of money which have been fent t h i t h e r in return for ftores and provifions, and for which the Swifs have always got fpecie, according to the adage— Point d'argent, point de Suiffe. . Rinaudin, the late Captain of the Vcngeur, who has juft returned to France, may, if he pleafes, convince theWifeacres of France, that Barrere's pompous account of that fhip's finking, with all her crew, crying Vi- ve la Republiqucl V'- ve la Nation! was hatched in his oven unfortunate caput-, as there are now in Mill Prifon near 300 of her crew ( fat with Englifh beef and beer), very thankful for being faved by the magnanimity of their Britifh Conquerors, the feamen of the Culloden, Alfred, Montague, & c. & c. who, w i t h a humanity which redounds to the henour of Britilh Tars, perfevered, at the hazard of their lives, ( to the laft moment of her floating), in faving as many of thefe poor wretches as they could. At this awful moment, the unfortunate remains of the crew of this ill- fated fhip uttered fuch a piercing fhriek, as fevera' Officers prefent fay will ever ring in their ears; and in one moment fhe went to the bottom, with Britifh and French colours flying — a ftubborn proof of Britifh valour, Britilh feamanfhip, and Britifh fkill. Captain Rinaudin and his Son were faved b y different fnips' boats, and each thought the other loft. He is a perfonable gentlemanly man, and ferved under the old Government.

" More than 1000 rich people, or perfons employed in publick fituations, have been arretted, without diftinCtion of age or fex, and dragged to a large granary, which is their prifon. All the Church Minifters have been deprived of their liberty. A bloody Court, under the title of a Revolutionary T'tribunal, has been eftablilhed, and four villains, calling themfelves Commiffioners of Publick Safety, have promifed to defpatch the arretted perfons in a fhort time. Pillage began with the arrefts. The Regiment of Mountaineers joined the banditti. The cannon are turned againft the city, and guillotines fet up.

Yefterday at noon three Meffengers arrived in town, with defpatches from the C o n t i n e n t ; as likewife the foreign mails due on Monday laft. One of the Meflengers came with defpatc'nes. from Lord MALMESEURY at Frankfort, another from the Hague, and a third from the army under the command of his Royal Highnefs the DUKE of YORK, which he left on Friday n i g h t . His Royal Highnefs remained encamped w i t h his army in the vicinity of Oofterhout. T h e heavy baggage of the Auftrians, which had been fent towards Germany, has been ordered back towards Liege ; of which c i t y , the Auftrians, under General LATOUR, have ftill poffellion, though the citadel is in the hands of the French. In confequence of the Liegois having infulted the Auftrians on their retreat, the latter returned, and the city of Liege has been abandoned to the pillage of the Auftrian army. The Auftrians and Pruffians having re- croffed the Rhine, have re- taken poffeffion of Spires, and the neighbouring towns; while the French have retreated towards their former pofiticn at Weiffembourg and Lauterbourg. This fudden change in their plan of operations, is faid to be owing to the agitated ftate of publick affairs at Paris. Such is the dreadful ftate of_ the Republic!: of PARIS, that reports of the moft extraordinary nature gain fome c r e d i t ; as feeming, from former atrocities, to be poffible, and by no means improbable. The rumour of yefterday was a repetition of that which has often proved unfounded, though for the fake of human nature, every good man muft ardently wilh it to be true— The Downfall of ROBESPIERRE!— According to fome ftatements, by popular fury ; or, as others fay, by his own impious and blood- ftained hands. On the 26th of laft month, it is faid, he denounced no lefs than one hundred ot his flaves in the Convention, as rebels to his power; but finding t h a t , aided by the mob, the former inftrtrment of his own fury, they were too ftrong for him, he next day fhot himfelf. We have 110 reafon to give any credit to the above particulars; but as they have been publickly detailed and relied on, we relate them to our readers. BARRERE and ROBESPIERRE are both of them continually hinting at plots and confpiracies; whether becaufe thev know the deteftation in which they are held by their wretched Haves in Paris, or to ferve as a pretext for further maffacres and cruelties, we know not. One hundred victims expired under the guillotine on the 19th and 20th ; among thefe was MACON, the rich Banker, aged 81. To call that people free, where the ruling Powers find'fuch daily executions neceffarv, is a mere farce.— BARRERE hints at fome impure Members in the Convention. No doubt . there are many.— The Paris papers of the 25th ult. are the lat. eft in Town. The above report has reached the ears of our Government— Nor is it entirely difcredited.— Letters from Frankfort ftate, the death of ROBESPIERRE t o have happened on the 29th. The idle paragraph in a Morning Paper, that LORD SPENCER had fucceeded in his negociation with the EMPEROUR, to receive a fubfidy from England, is founded on the groffcft ignorance ; as when the laft Mdlenger left his Lordfllip, he was then fxpofts from VIENNA. By private information, we learn, that a Revolution has taken place in the Ifiand of Sardinia. The King's troops have been defeated, and the Viceroy has failed for I t a l y . The ground of the infurreCtion was, the King's appointing none but Piedmontefe gentlemen to places of truft and honour; which the Iflanders fay is contrary to his M a j e f t y ' s Coronation oath. If the Sardinians mean to unite themfelves to France, they will not, whatever may have been their former condition, attain one more eligible. The French continue to levy very heavy and infupportable contributions, on their new fubjeCts or ilaves. They have demanded half a, million tterling of Antwerp, which is much more than the place is able to pay, as its commerce is but trifling. At Ghent, Bruffels, and other . places, their demands are equally exorbitant. They boaft to be able, by what they may colleCt with the point of. the bayonet, in the Low- Countries and in the Palatinate, to carry on two campaigns, without touching their own internal refburces, which, before the arrival of their American convoy, were in the moft deplorable ftate : Their fuccefs has again infpired them with the hopes of being able to carry into execution their projects of effecting revolutions in alnioft every country. They talk of landing one hundred thoulimd men in England ; but Lord • HOWE, by his glorious v i f t o r y , has rendered that projeft difficult, if . not impoflible : his name fills them w i t h terrour. . ., "•--•'• The French alfo threaten to invSde.' Hfrlland and Spain, and to carry their plunders every where. They have in ' their pay a number of travelling revolution fpies, under the difguife of Emigrants, who by. that means get into the company of officers of the army, and learn every thing that pafles in them. Many of thefe perfons will now take refuge in ' England, to affift the defigns cf an invafion ; which was to be fcouted while they had a powerful army to oppofe on their frontiers, but is" certainly more practicable when the armies have retreated to a great, diftance from them, and left men, accnftomed to plunder, in a fituation to feek it in other countries, when they have no longer any occafion to defend their own. Their treatment of the Low- Countries will,' however, fhew other nations what they have to expeCt, fhould they come to invade them. They have been ftript in a moment of the fruit of the " labour of ages, and will now be hewers of wood and drawers of water to the tyrants of Paris. The PRINCE STADTHOI. DER, after having affifted on the 4th and 5th at the All'embly of the States General, delivered a propofition in writing, in which, after ftating his rcadinefs to facrifice every thing for the defencs of the State, he recommends, on account of the great loffes experienced by the Dutch troops-, to recruit their Army in foreign Countries, and raifc Voluntier Companies for internal defence. T h e celebrated Madame NECKER died lately, a f t e r a long illnefs, at Bern. LA FAYETTE, by an or tier of the American Congrefs, is to receive 24,424 dollars, being the amount of the pay and emoluments of a Major- General during the time he was in the fervice of the United States. Though the G a z e t t e gives us an account of the fituation of Guadaloupe, only as far as Government advices extend, and where thofe advices fait, leaves us in the midft of all that uncertainty with which fuch daring enterprifes are attended'; yet from the number of private letters that . have come to hand, there is no doubt, but that matters have ended fuccefsfully an our part. As to the uncertainty attending the gazette account, it only fhows the candour of government, and how careful they are to lay, nothing before the people, but what is warranted by truth, and received on the moft authentick information. The iffue may be expected fhortly founded on the l i k e authentick advices A Correfpor. dent obferves, that if the French, who feem to be murtherers by fvftem, fhould perfift in executing their bloody decree refpeCting the Englifn prifoners, it would not become this country to follow their example ; this would'be, in. faft, adopting their abominable principles; and, what is of more confequence, it would not an Aver the nurpofes of retaliation, for the " French" Convention would not care a farthing for the fate of their prifoners. It wiil be far more glorious for this country to hold out to the world an example of faithful adherence to the laws of war and of nations, rather than to reduce the Britilh character to a level with that of the French. If- s. ny thing could demon!! rate with new evidence the folly of Ambition, it is that the'French firould find Generals to head their armies ; fince thefe wretched leaders, even when they behave well, and gain the confidence of the troops, are morally certain of beiijg decapitated. If there is uniform maxim of policy in the Convention, it is that no General who has gained the affeCtions of his army, ihould preferve his command or his life. The Oppofition- papers have frequently reprefented our armies as perifhing in Flanders, from the want of all the neceffaries and conveniences of life. How is tills potififlfent w i t h Barrere's Report to the Convention on t l x capture of Oftcnd, in which he declaims againft the DUKE of YORK for intoxicating the Britifii troops with Rum and G i n ? I n another part of the fame report, he informs the Convention, that t h i r t y Auftrians, commanded bv an Oiacer, had furrenclered at difcretion to a French par; - compcfed of four horfe chaflenrs and a ferjeant. if this be true, rum and gin have not been neglefted as unworthy means of conqueft by the virtuous Republicans; fince we fhould hardly fufpeCt that five men in their fiber fenfes would venture to attack thirty- one. I t is very probable that as General ARNOLD is now captured by the French, the American Minifter at Paris will claim that Gentleman. The effrontery with which the Seditious Chronicle ftill keeps up the ridiculous report of the difagreement as to the Blue Ribbon, and tlTe'ir darinp- and virulent abufe of t i e DUKE of PORTLAND, may perhaps be very juftly placed! to the account of a certain Jury;— who, if they have any fnarae left, muft now blufh to look at^ the factious medal; if indeed this gift has takerfjMace ; and not evaporated in fmoke, like the pillar in Runnimead. The Seditious Chronicle 13 ever anxious to give the eariicft intelligence of the acquittal of Libellers ; we fuppofe by way of keeping the above Jury in countenance. There is certainly more fitirical wit in this country than in any other. Even the ad- vert if merits in the papers are oftpn remarkable for pcint. In one of them, a young man, of honeft, fiber principles, withes to be articled to. an Attorney I— and a Shoemaker advertifes for a lad who has finijhed his education I All that is now doing to Rarnffi- ate Pier is nothing more than putting the finiihing ftroke to Mr. SMEATON'S addition, by rounding off the end that makes one fide of the enterance into the Harbour. On the end of the Pier, on the oppofite fide, a Lighthoufe is- constructing, but it is not finifhed, as mentioned in feveral of the papers. A fellow, com- ictcd of publithing a notorious libel, has the impudence to advertifc himfelf as Bookfcller to the People. The Englilh Government is about to provide an afylum for the Toulcnefe in the Illar, d of Corfica, and many of them have already been carried thither. The Romney man- of- war, of yo guns, the- Hen.

Captain PA'C. KT behaved in the moil gallant manner. To- morrow morning, at four o'clock, the Royal Family will fet off from Windfor- Lodge far Wcvmouth: They will ' dine at. the Bifhop of SAL". BURV'S on their journey, and they are cxpeCki to arrive at Gloucefter- lodge in the evening.' The. Weft- India Planters, we hear, have renewed their application to Government, for open in- r the ports of our Weft- India iflands to the American fhipping, from which they have been excluded finc. r the United States became independent. How tar the Britifh fhip- owners, who arc fo much intereft"- in the Carrying- trade, will be difpofed to . let the Americans into a participation of this valuable branch of it, is for them to confide r. Lord Mulgrave arrived at Deal, at nine o'clock on Saturday night. It was then- expeCted, that his Lordlnip would have failed immediately, in the Sheernefs Frigate, of 44 guns, for Flufiiing. But in confequence of that ( hip not being readv to fail, his Lordfllip failed on Monday evening, in the Pc - . gafus frigate, for Holland. ' T h e following regiments likewife failed from Southampton on Sunday laft for Holland, to join Lord Mul^ ravt, , vizl the 31ft, 34th, 84th, 8yth, and Marquis of H u n t l e y ' s. Captain Garner, of the Sarah, the laft of the Greenland fhips belonging to Liverpool, and vvh6 arrived there on Saturday with two fifh, left the ice on the 23d of July, in company w i t h many Dutch vellels clean.

The Penelope, Udney, from Clyde, for Antigua, was taken by a French lloop of war, in lat. 47. 15. - long. 26. 40. The Greigfon, Gibfon, from Liverpool for Africa, is taken and carried into L ' O r i e n t. ExtraB of a letter from Hull, Aug. 12. " A letter received here by a merchant from, London, affiues us that there are now ftationeel in t North Seas, fifteen frigates and a fifty- gun fhip, for the protection of the trade'of this country. " The Fanny, Greenland fhip, is- arrived here with two fifh and yi feals, producing 80 butts of blubber and 2f ton of fins.— Y/ e have now only two fhips to arrive, and both from Davis's ftraits." Yeftsrday a C s u r t of Lieutenancy was held at Guildhall, when the ballot for Colonels,' Lieutenant- Colonels, and Majors of the two regiments which arc to be raifed, came on. The candidates for the Colonels were, Aldermen'Sir JAMES SANDERSON, K n t . Sir WATKIN LEWES, K n t . and N . N s w s - H AM, Efq. the two former of whoftt were eleClcd ; the numbers being 60, y8, yy. Mr.. Alderman NEWNHAM then declared himfelf candidate for a Lieutenant- Colonelcy, and lie and Mr. Alderman COMBE were elected— numbers y i , 44. Mr. Alderman MACAUI. AY alfo flood, but his number, was only 31 ; and he was afterwards eleCted Major by 48 ; as was M r . BOYCE COMEE { b r o t h e r to the Alderman) by 4y. Mr. WILSON, who aifo flood for Major, had only 24 votes. At York Affifes the following prifoners received fentence of death, viz. Anne Scalbird, for the murder of Mary Scalbird, who was ordered. to be executed on Monday laft, and her body given to the furgeons for diffeCtion; but having declared herfelf pregnant, a j u ry of matrons was that morning to be impannelled, to enquire whether or not file is quick with child; Thomas Kirk, for a rape; Francis Day and James Wild, for burglaries; John Smith, for a Highway- robbery ; ' Ihomas Gawthorpe, for horfeftealing; Matthew Brown, for fheepftealing; and Jane Holtel, for grand iarceny. Government did not prefer any bill at the above Affifes againft Henry Redhead, alias Yorke for T r e a f o n ; lie therefore remains in gaol on the former warrant of commitment from the Privy. Council. At Landfdown fair on Monday, there was a larp : quantity of new cheefe, the general prices of which were 38s. 40s. 41s. up to yos. per cwt. There were not many fine horles, and for thefe extravagant prices were alked; thofe of inferiour value met with a very flat fale. Fat cattle fold well, but lean beafts ( of which there are few) met with little demand. T h e day being very favourable, there was a vaft concourfe of people on the down. The lightening, on Thurfday laft, fet fire to a bed in a houfe in the neighbourhood of Laytonfton?, i; i the county of Effcx : it a'. fo knocked to pieces the chimney of another houfe ; and, entering the kitchen, fplit a large wooden form to ( hatters, tore out the- whole of the window, and did much other damage. During the ftorm, large pieces of ice- fell, and were picked up in the fame neighbourhood. On Monday, the n t h inft. died, at Dray tor., in the county of Oxford, in the l y t h y e a r of her age, Mifs THERESA WALFORD, the only daughter of T H E O P H I L U S WALI- ORD, Efq. of the Upper Mail, Ham- rcrfmith.
