Peace with the Indians.
Under this head we have the pleal

of the state of Georgia, informs, that
" on the 3d of May, Mr. Seagrove,
arrived at this place in company with
fix Chiefs, he announced the agreea
ble news of peace, and brought in
three or four of our 'prifot@ ; the
reftoratioa of the remainder together
with the property, reftson the faith of
Indian promises."
The Genefee treaty has terminated

Summary.
It is uncertain, by latest accounts;
whether Amsterdam is in the finds
of the Flench, it is however probable
—it is beyond doubt that the French
are more and more fuccefsful— Time
will soon tell us whether the French
have taken Holland—the account of
which is nor yet contradicted.—An
arrival at Philadelphia from Bourdeaux
Oft. 17th, states, that it was believed
there that Rotterdam & Helvoetfluys
are taken by the French—if this be a
fa 9, we may with truth pronounce
the entire capture of Holland, as the,
could, not oppdfe a force that could
stand before Frenchmen. The ar
mies of Jourdan and Pichegru have
, lately been Augmented to very nearly
300,000 men. A Grand Inundation,
has been agitated by the States Gene
ral, and some of the towns of the
provinces of Holland have declared
their willingness to accede to it—oth
er towns have positively refuted, de
^ claring that the canqueft of the pro-I
vince by the French could not be pro-|
dudive of such an injury as the in
undation, which would ruin the coun
try for many years. General Clairfa,t
though one of the bravest and most
experienced Generals of the present
age, has been defeated nine times al
most fucceffivefy, since the beginning
of the present campaign. Letters
from Stockholm/ of Sept# i& state,
that the news of the copceffions made
by the English ministers, has excited
the most lively jdy there; The Bririlh
cabinet will indemnify Sweden for all
the captured ships, add her trade to
France is now allowed to be as open,
as that with any other nation; The
government of Geneva has orders to
make reprisals agaioft the Dutch; toho
have ordered- all the Genevefe prop
erty to be sequestered, and no debts]
to be paid to the Genevefe merchants ]
and bankers. It ii said, b/a'late ar-1

On board, was to be sent to reinforce
the Engiiih in the Weftiodies, which
was to be augmented by 3000 men
from Gibr&k^r—the above force is
said to have arrived at BarbadoeW,^
&?Ui viz ^<+-¥^^^
Baltimore, ZW^v By a gentleman
just arrived from Jaquemel, we are
informed that previous to,hit entering
the harbour, he difeovered nine fail ofl
American vessels, ill running down
iheifland. He wal spoke with by
the captain of one of them, who in
formed him that the night preceding
he was boarded and robbed by fon^^
Spaniards who were cruising in a boat|
with two guns ; and ?lhat all the ves
sels then in fight experienced the fame
piratical treatment. ^ 'A schooner of
Baltimore was robbed oj 4000 dol

that Americans'cannot, with jafety,
venture on the fouth fide of Hifpani,l

PORTLAND, DEC. 15.
A brig arrived at this port, last Sat
urday, belonging to Scarborough,,
I having had 22 days passage from
I Barbitdoes ; the Captain of which in-
Ifornix, that a Bririfh Admiral («hofe
name he does nor recoiled) had ar-
I rived at that island about the 17th of
Nov. with four 74 gur, fh,'p,, in 24
I days from England ; and that two
I days after the fquadroo failed for Mar
tinique or Guadalbupe. It was rg-
Iported at Barbados, that 10 000 Brit
l ifh troops were daily expe^cd in the
Weftindies.
Idec. 8. Captain Perkins, who ar-
Irived at Peppereibprough, from Mar
tinico, on Friday, informs— That a
French naval force of several Ihips of
I the line, and a number of frigates, had
I arrived in the Weffindies, and captur
ed all the islands, and were about
proceeding to leeward. This account
[is corroborated by an arrival at Port-
I land, on Saturday last, which spoke a
.vessel from London a day or two be
fore, that informed a considerable
French armament had failed— their
Ideftination unknown,

occatiofi his ^rm approtrition of rhe
foldier-nke topvicur oiietveed by
the other tommiffioned feffi ws, and
by the privates u&f their rtlpedive
comma;o.
As a uniform dress has a petulier
tendency t.lpromote Military Disci
pline and Emulation ; rhe Brigadier
General could not fail tn mark with
peculiar plealure the appearance of
those troops who hid comp'ird with
the orders of the Captain Gtneral in
tbis refpeQ. He flatters himfyt cha;
the great exertions #d buyable ex
ample exhibited bv Caprain Luther
Dana, of the Artillery, and Captain
John Dutton, ,f the Ltuht Infan
try, and their refa^ive officers and
companies, to clothe themselves in
the appointed uniforms, will have a
proper effect on the Militia in gene-.
ral.
The Brigadier General feels per^
fuaded that the several officers in the
Brigade, will continue their patriotic
exertions, to .put the troops under
their command into a refpeftable sit
uation ; for they will with him re
member that the defence of our dear
est right?, as well as the peace and
fafety of our common country de
pends efpeciafy on .the virtue, firm
nefs, and military fpiric of our citizens,
and that the surest way to preserve
peace is to be prepared for war.
While the great body of our citi
zens are well' armed and equipped,
fki!led in milit^y discipline, and ani
mated with the love of their country,
we need feel no apprehensions from
Foreign Invasions, or Internal Com
motions, ty shall exhibit to the
I world the example of a gun nation,
I free, independant and happy.
