and to thefe I add the feelings of my profound respect. (Signed) THADDEUS DEMBOWSKI, Prefident. The capture of Praga by affault, happened on the 3d October by 20,000 Ruffians, in three columns. Ten thousand Poles were made prifoners, including Wawrecewski, the commandant. The captors took 72 pieces of heavy ordnance, and fet all the Pruffian prisoners at liberty. The loss of the Ruffians is said to amount to 3000 men. The entrenchments which had been thrown up in hafte before that untenable place, were defended with defperate valour by the Poles, and the Ruffians loft a great number of men; fome accounts, of their own, ftate that number to be above 2000 men. They were, after all, obliged to take the place by ftorm, and the Poles had 3000 men killed, and 4000 made prifoners. General Ferfen fummoned Warfaw on the 13th October, but was anfwered by an abfolute refufal. That city is now completely invested. Nov. 18. Accounts were received at Berlin, that all the Polish troops, which marched against the Pruffians, had offered to capitulate, and lay down their arms; that the corps under Prince Poniatowski had already capitulated, and given up 17 pieces of cannon, fome pontoons, and near 1600 mufkets. Some days after this, General Klinkowftroom had obtained a confiderable advantage over the Poles, and taken 55 officers and 300 men prifoners. The reft of the Polith forces had united, and marched towards Cracow, headed by their prefent chief, Wawrzecki. The remains of their army actually attempted to open themfelves a way to Gallicia, through Cracow and Upper Silefia, in order, if poffible, to effect their efcape into France, a thought which nothing but defpair could have infpired; they were partly haraffed in the rear by the Ruffians under General Denifow, by the Pruffian troops on their flank, and the Pruffian cordon upon the river Nida, in fuch a manner as to be forced to furrender AMERICA. Sept. 30. The fecretary at war received difpatches from General Wayne, dated head-quarters, Grand Glaizes, Auguft 145 and 28th, who is entrusted with the cu duct of the war against the Indian nie, who dwell on the banks of the Mar The General states, that the expen hath been attended with complete facci A fevere action took place on the 200 August in the vicinity of the British po and garrifon, at the foot of the Rap which ended in the rout of the Indian my, and the defolation of their country. If this was the commiffion of the Ame can General, he hath executed it with dreadful fidelity. We offer no opis themselves prifoners of war, on the 18th inft. near Rodoczin, together with their Chief Wawrzecki, four Generals, the reft of the officers, and 19 pieces of cannon. It is however faid, that General Madalinfki, with two officers, has effected his efcape to Gallicia. The Prefident Jahrzewiki is returned to Warfaw. The members of the late Supreme Council are feparated, and Kollontay is fled with the cash and jewels he had taken away from Warfaw, on the justice or neceflity of this wa but, as the friends of humanity, we rea with painful fenfations, the following a tract from the General's dispatches: 'The lofs of the enemy was more than dou to that of the federal army; the wes were ftrewed, for a confiderable diftant, with dead bodies of Indians, and their white auxiliaries, the latter armed wit British mufkets and bayonets. We mained three days and nights on the banks of the Miamis, in front of th field of battle; during which time. the houfes and corn fields were confume and deftroyed for a confiderable diftan both above and below Fort Miamis, well as within piftol fhot of that gam who were compelled to remain tacit pe tators to this general devaitation and flagration, among which were the and houfes of Colonel M'Kee, the Br Indian agent, and principal ftimula the war now exifting between the U States and the favages. The army ret ed to this place on the 27th, by cafy m ches, laying wafte the villages and fields, for about fifty miles on each fit the Miamis; there remains yet a n of villages, and a great quantity of to be confused, or deftroyed, uper 1.

The difputes of the United States the Indians on their back fettlements, are not yet terminated. Warriors, from other nations, have been attempting to join the Creeks and the Cherokees in their hoftilities, particularly the formidable number of 400 Seneca warriors all armed with well finifhed rifles; but being informed of a treaty that was made, did return to their villages. In the rencounters which have taken place, fuccefs feems to have attended the troops of the United States, and very agreeable accounts have been received of their fubmiffion to order and peace. WEST INDIES. The reports which, for a confiderable time, were in circulation concerning the fuccefs of the French at Guadaloupe are confirmed. The following was the fituation of affairs in that quarter, Oct. 27: The enemy, from Point-a-Petre, attacked our camp at Berville, and obliged General Graham, with the force there, to capitulate. General Prescott with a few men, yet holds Fort Matilda at Baffaterre; but the enemy are erecting batteries to annoy him, and, we fear, will foon drive our foldiers from their poft. Admiral Jervis, in the Boyne, is off Baffaterre, Sir C. Grey at Martinique, and the island univerfally defencelefs. We have not more than 60 regulars here, and the other colonies are equally weak. At Lloyd's, the following deplorable article was communicated: On the capture of the camp at Guadaloupe, under the command of General Graham, no provifion was made for the royalifts, confift ing nearly of 450, moft of them planters, the greatest part of whom were the next day either guillotined or fhot by the negroes, in a manner too fhocking to relate.' The British possessions in St Domingo have been expofed alfo to confiderable danger, from the attacks of the favage banditti which abound in that ifland, as appears from the Royal Jamaica Gazette. King flon, Sept. 20. Recent accounts from St Domingo ftate, that the brigands, about ten or twelve days ago, made a ferious attempt, both by ftratagem and force, aflifted by treachery, to obtain poffeffion of St Marc's, in which they had nearly fucceeded, when intelligence being conveyed to Cape Nichola Mole of its critical fituation, a frigate was immediately dispatched to the relief of the place, and their nefarious designs most completely defeated. It appears that 300 effective men have marched from L'Arcahaye to St Marc, to reinforce Colonel Brisbane, who, with fuch an addition, may defy the operations of either intrigue or open force. Oct. 11. The moft profound quiet reigns at St Marc's, and its neighbourhood. The town is now completely furrounded by a breaft-work conftructed with much labour; and, by the indefatigable exertions of Colonel Brisbane, the adjacent country has been effectually cleared of its favage invaders. It appears from the account of the capitulation of the important poft of Berville, in the island of Guadaloupe, that the army which attacked ours was compofed principally of Negroes, who had been collected in great numbers, by means of proclamations which had been iffued, giving freedom to the blacks, and recommending industry and respect to property. Thele proclamations were iffued under the fanction of the Convention, and are to be promulgated in all the colonies. In Guadaloupe, these proclamations have had the effect, above mentioned, of collecting, from all parts, the Negroes, and of inducing them to take up arms against the British forces. The greatest apprehenfions, we are forry to say, are entertained in the other islands of the effect of declaring the Negroes free. The fame accounts add, that many of the emigrants who were taken with Brigadier General Graham, have been moft cruelly butchered, and that the ficknefs which prevailed. among our troops had very much weakened our force, while that of the enemy was confiderably increased by the means above mentioned. GAZETTEE INTELLIGENCE. Horfe-Guards, Dec. 13. By difpatches received from Gen. Sir Charles Grey, K. B. dated Martinique the 16th, 19th, and 24th of October, it appears, that the enemy, from Point-a-Petre, in the island of Guadaloupe, made a landing at Govave and Lamentin, on the fame island, on the 27th of September, and proceeded to attack the camp of Berville, under the command of Brigadier-General Graham, who defended this pofition with the utmoft gallantry and spirit, until the 6th of October, when, finding his provifions nearly exhaufted, and that he was cut off from all communication with the fhipping, and without hopes of relief, he was obliged to furrender, his force being reduced to 125 rank and file fit for duty. By this unfortunate event, the whole of the island of Guadaloupe, except Fort Matilda, where Lieut. Gen. Prefcott commands, fell into the hands of the enemy, 5 M 2. The The British forces, which were taken at Berville camp, confift of the flank companies from Ireland, and the 29th, 43, and 65th regiments. Their lofs in the different actions, between the 27th of September and 6th of October, as nearly as could be ascertained, amounts to two of ficers killed, and five wounded; twenty-five non-commiffioned officers and privates killed, and fifty-one ditto wounded. Officers Killed-Major Forbes ; Lieut. Cochran of the 39th. and Officers Wounded-Capt. Hutton of the artillery; Capt. Cameron of the 43d; Lieut. Keating of the 33d; Ensign Paris of the 65th; and Quarter-Mafter Clements of the 39th. Horfe-Guards, Dec. 13. By dispatches received from Lieut. Col. James Grant, commanding officer at Cape Nichola Mole, in the island of St Domingo, dated the 21st of October, it appears, that the town and poft of Leogane, in the same island, had fallen into the hands of the forces of the Convention, aided by a numerous corps of revolted negroes. Horfe-Guards, Dec. 20. The following report has been received from Gen. Walmoden by his Royal Highnefs the Duke of York, and tranf mitted by him to the Rt Hon, Henry Dundas: Head-quarters, Arnheim, Dec. 11. The movements of the enemy, and works carried on at Nimeguen and feveral other points of their line, appeared to indicate an attack; when the march of a ftrong column yefterday, from the environs of Emmerick, to Nimeguen, left me little doubt that they had fome immediate enterprise in view. At fix o'clock this morning about 80 boats of various fizes, with troops on board, came down a branch of the Waal, and were carried by the ftream to our fide of the river, near the poft of Chent, where, favoured by a thick fog, they effectuated a landing, and made a vigorous attack on our battery there, which returned their fire, but could not be defended against their numbers, covered by a very heavy fire of fhot and fhells from the ftrong batteries they had erected on the other fide of the river. Major Thiele, with the regiment of Stockhauffen, a battalion of that of Saxe Gotha, and the picquet which he had called in, made an attempt to recover the battery, but he was repulfed in the attack. In the mean time the General of infantry, Bufche, arrived, and led these troops to a second attack, without being able to drive away the enemy; bet, o receiving a reinforcement, confifting of 1ft and 2d battalions of Grenadiers, le ordered a third attack to be made with the bayonet: It was executed with firing a tingle fhot; and the enemy, ving previously spiked fome gens in the battery, and fet fire to a few houses, fed with great precipitation to their beats Gen. Bufche, on his return from this fuccefsful attack, was ftruck in the a and cheft by a ball from an eight poundcr, which proved fatal in a very few n nutes. His lofs is much to be regretted Major Bachmeifter, of the regiment of Saxe Gotha, a very deferving officer, fell alfo in the action. No exact return has been received d our lofs; that of the enemy is not know as they carried off with them their wound ed, and even fome of their dead. The attack appears to have been made on feveral pofts of our line, particularly Fort St Andrew, Douvert, Panderon, and the ifle of Byland Lieut. Gen. Werneck reports, that at Byland fome of the boats were funk by the fire of the batteries in attempting the paffage of the river, and that the greates part of the troops were drowned. (Signed) WALMODEN. By a letter from Lieut. Gen. Harcourt to his Royal Highnefs, of the fame dat it appears that the enemy were repulie at Fort St Andre by the Dutch troops, and that they had not fucceeded in for cing any one of the points against which their attacks were directed. LONDON. In Paris, the Jacobin club is ftill trying to maintain its ground, but as the current of popular opinion is fo ftrongly again them, the Convention will probably pr ceed to rigorous measures for their total fuppreffion. The decree of the Convention which reftores to Lyons its ancient name, has caufed univerfal fatisfaction there, and letters from thence fay, it is hoped the Convention will complete the happines of that city, by recalling to its bofom thofe citizens whom error had led into rebellion, but who wifh now to return to refume their employment at thofe man factures which made the riches and property of that once flourishing city, which may regain its fplendour, if thofe citizens are permitted to return from banishment, The Ladies of Antigua lately prefented the troops, under Sir Charles Grey, a ery acceptable fupply of flannel articles. hirty-four ladies had contributed 355 annel and cotton waistcoats, and 302 airs of flannel and cotton drawers. On the 6th September the French hoifed their new flag at Smyrna with great joicings, and they were faluted by he Confuls from Venice and Ragufa; but -hat has aftonished fome perfons is, that e Turkifh fhips in the harbour of Smyra, and garrifon alfo, faluted the tri-cored flag, the former by 10, and the tter by 12 guns, which the French comandant returned with 21 guns. Government having demanded a paffport from l the foreign minifters for a French vefel, with the tri-coloured flag, bound to affa, in Syria, with 8000 killoos of corn, n account of the Sublime Porte, the panish and Neapolitan minifters acceded 5 the demand, without any difficulty; he British ambaffador, however, and the Dutch Charge des Affairs refufed, as beg contrary to the interefts of maritime ations. The Turkish minifter, difpleafed with this refufal, again folicited the two inifters, who at length complied with Es requeft, declaring, that they granted e paffport folely to preferve a good unerftanding between the two Courts, but at in future they were determined not grant any paffport to any French fhip. The Emprefs of Ruffia, to teftify to General Suwarrow her fatisfaction on the ubject of the victory at Brzefc, has apointed him her Aid-du-camp, and has ent him a crown of laurels, fet in brilants, of the value of 60,000 roubles, he has alfo permitted him to choose a egiment in her army, which fhall bear is name for ever. Nov. 8. About three o'clock afternoon, wo of the French state prisoners, confined n the fortrefs of Olmutz, in Moravia, unxpectedly found means to mount two eet English horfes, which had been rought for that purpose, and galloped ut of the gate towards Sternberg, where hey found two poft-chariots ready for hem, in which one of them took the oad to the heights of Fruedenthal, and he other arrived on the fame evening at Troppau, in Upper Silefia, where he passd for a phyfician. Both of them were ollowed by meifengers. One is faid to ave been the Marquis de la Fayette. Nov. 22. Lord Hood arrived at Porfmouth in the Victory, from the Mediteranean, having refigned his command in hat station. A few days afterwards, Admiral Cosby, likewise, arrived in the Alcide, of 74 guns, with a large convoy from the Streights, &c. Their Majefties, accompanied by the Princess Royal, and the Princeffes Elizabeth, Mary, and Sophia, last night (Nov. 26,) honoured Covent-Garden Theatre with their presence, for the first time this feafon. The reception of the Royal Family by one of the most crouded audiences that this theatre ever could boaft, was such as was gratifying to the feelings of every loyal bofon. The appearance of their Sovereign feemed to awaken all that fervour of attachment which animates true Britons, owards the head of that Conftitution which every good man is ready to fupport, and defend, with his fortune and his life; and a greater burst of honeft feeling never broke from an affembly than when the national air, of God fave the King,' was fung, and which was repeated, by command of the audience, no let's than fix times in the courfe of the evening; Rule Britannia,' was not forgotten; and, indeed, no expreffron of loyalty and refpectful attachment was omitted, which could evince the honeft and patriotic feelings of a British audience. The Prince of Wales was in his private box. It appears that Admiral Bligh, in the Alexander, of 74 guns, fought with incredible bravery Le Tigre, of 84 guns, La Jean Bart, of 84, and a frigate of 44 guns, four hours before he struck his colours, which Admiral Bligh did not do till the other four line of battle ships and frigates bore down, after a fruitless chafe of the Canada, of 74 guns, Captain Hamilton, which escaped. Le Tigre and La Jean Bart were wrecks as well as the Alexander, and loft 450 men killed and wounded. The Alexander loft about 80 men killed and wounded; but the officers names who fell cannot be ascertained. At Copenhagen, the Royal College of General Economy and Commerce have caufed to be printed, a lift of the Danish hips carried into England, in the fame manner as the Court of Admiralty of London has published it, and fent it over by the Danish Conful. The lift contains 315 fhips. No decifion hath yet arrived there, from the English Admiralty, on that fubject. It is in contemplation to augment the Marines by the reduction of the finecures which have been enjoyed by naval officers for many years, which will fully pay the expences of raifing and maintaining another divifion divifion, which are to be stationed, and ftyled the Woolwich Divifion, which is to confift of 1 Colonel, 2 Lieuteuant Colonels, 2 Majors, 15 Captains, 5 Captain Lieutenants, 10 firft Lieutenants, and 20 fecond Lieutenants; and Colonel Bowater is reported to have the command. Confiderable inundations have taken place by reafon of the late rains, fo as to interrupt travelling on fome of the roads; they have occafioned the Thames to overflow, and the meadows adjoining to it, in the neighbourhood of Windfor, are all under water making a very dismal appearance. At Conftantinople, the Divan have formed vaft plans of internal regulations; one of which is, to introduce European tactics into their army, a measure highly offenfive to the Janiffaries: it is, however, the object of the Court to reduce the power of that formidable and dangerous corps. Dec. 8. Sir William Erfkine, Sir James Baird, Major Erskine, and Captain Hope, arrived in town from the British army in Holland. 9. At Guildhall the Court of Aldermen uuanimoufly voted their thanks to Paul Le Mefurier, Efq; late Lord Mayor of this city, for his punctual, regular, and able discharge of the various duties of that high and important office; for the politencfs and hofpitality with which his mayoralty was diftinguifhed; for the facred regard which he manifefted towards the rights and privileges of his fellow citizens; and his ftrenuous and manly exertions in repreffing a dangerous tumult, and restoring peace, tranquillity, and fecurity to the inhabitants of the metropolis. ཝཱ By a decree of the Convention, the Jacobin club was shut up on November 12, and on the 14th the members of it attempted to affemble elsewhere, and endeavoured to raise commotions among the people, but to no purpofe; fome of the ringleaders were arrested. 10. At the levee, Earl Fitzwilliam kiffed his Majefty's hand on being appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; and General Leigh, on his promotion to the government of the Bermuda islands; as did the following officers, on being appointed to the different fhips which are to bring over the Princefs of Wales, viz. Commodore Payne, of the Jupiter of 50 guns; Hon. Capt. Stopford, of the Phaeton frigate; the Hon. Capt. Legge of the Latona; Capt. Browel, of the Mary yacht; Capt. Bagot, of the Augufta yacht; Earl Ckmont, and Mr A. St Leger. They were introduced by Lord Southampton, Government have iffued orders for the neceffary preparations to be made in the ifle of Thanet, for the accommodation of an army of between 20,000 and 30,000 men, which is to be encamped there early in the enfuing fpring; a measure hig neceffary and wife, intended to guard a gainft any unfavourable occurrence to the fituation of this country that may take place in the affairs of Holland. 12. Great preparations are making to get the Earl of Moira's army in readine for embarkation; they are daily increafing in number at Southampton: fix regimenta of cavalry are to be drafted from the Bri tish and Irish establishments, three bat talions are to be drafted from the foot guards, to consist of 500 men each, d alfo a general draft from the diket marching regiments on the British c blishment.
