Philadelphia^ Sept. 11.
Tuesday arrived here the ship General Washington,
captain Barney, from Havre de G ace, which place be
I est on the firfl of Augoft, and touched at Poole, in Eng-
I. ind, wher^ he landed the hon. Henry Laurens, efq;
0 3 his way to London. We learn that the definitive
tr eaty was not signed when capt. Barney failed: that
treaties of commerce with America were signed by
the courts of Portugal and Denmark: and that a
tr eaty'of alliance was concluded between the courts of
Ft ance and England,,to support the Turksagainft the
enp press of Russia and the emperor of Germany.
In the General Washington came p^ffengers, M. Be
l€ir, baron de Beecroft, with his family, from the
WHEREAS by an aft of parliament passed this fef
ffion, intituled, " An aft for preventing certain infiru
" ments from being required from (hips belonging to
*' the United Slates of America, and to give to his

*' better carrying on trade and commerce between the
" fubjefls of his majefly's dominions and the inhabit
•' tapis of the said United States," it is amongst other
things enabled, that during the continuance of the said

therwise, for carrying on the trade and commerce be
twe^n'the people and territories belonging to the crown
of Great-Britain, and the people and territories of the
said United States, as to his majefly in council shall
appear most expedient and salutary, any law, usage, or
custom to the contrary notwithllanding: his majefiy

Last Monday arrived here in 14 days from Halifax,
the sloop Polly, captain Murphy, by whom we are
informed that the Hessian troops failed for Europe the
day he left that port.
RICHMOND, in Virginis, August 30.
By undoubted authority we learn from Fort Nelson, that the
Indians have been very peaceable in the Kentuckey country
since May; many Talks have been delivered to and from the
numerous tribes in the north-western quarter, and the great war
riors evince a very friendly turn of mind towards their brothers
the Ri, Knives of America, and all their inferior kindred, how
ever distantly related. An exchange of prisoners lately took
place between the Commandant at the Falls of Ohio, and the
Shawanefe tribe; a circumstance unprecedented with savages.
Among those we received is a young gentleman, by the name of
Johnson. The Indians have promised to return all the plunder
they have taken and yet remaining in their hands.
They are not well reconciled to their farmers the English, who
they fay have conduced them into a scrape, deserted, and left
them to ffiift for themselves. They urge, that they have re
ceived many foolifh Talks from the other fide of the water, such
as we suppose are generally used by the ministry ; it is suggested
that they are induced to believe the great man there has not at
tended well to bis Big Knives; that they have get very dull of
late, and must be sharpened before they are fit for butchering
again.

Almost every night last week some flofe or cellar in
this city, has been b-oke open, and feme robbed of
