Gazette Of The United States

Extract from a letter dated Amsterdam, Sept. 27, 1792. received by the Chesterfield Packet.

"The French affairs grow daily more serious; the Prussian army has advanced beyond Chalons, which was the principal rendezvous of the French, who retreated in great disorder. The Duke of Brunswick approaches Paris, by slow and cautious marches, and it is imagined he will reach it about the 1st of October : riots and the most abominable measures continue in that devoted city. As the Prussians approach, it is expected the mob will become more outrageous, that the murder of the King and Queen cannot be prevented, and that the city will probably be plundered and destroyed. The new national convention has assembled and declared itself constituent and supreme, they however submit to the mob in every thing, and sanction their vile proceedings. The armies have had several actions, in which the undisciplined French have been generally worsted. As the Friend of Liberty, I weep over the fate of that unhappy people."
