Thus wing'd by Rumor's double tongue,
Successive falsehoods fly along.—
Expres dispatched from Citizen Genet at Philadelphia, to Citizen Hauterive.
The Duke of York. is taken with his whole army: Toulon is re-taken with every ship which were in the port and harbour. All this, my dear fellow-citizen, has been announced to the Congress, not officially, but as certain: the Congress could not stay in their sitting. The whole people in Philadelphia are in the greatest joy; and compliments and salutations are coming to me from every part. It appears to be certain that this news was bro't in by the vessel sent to France by the President. Let all our friends know this news—and let us all cry out together, Vive la Republique.
Signed,
GENET.
