MR. JAr's TREATY.
A letter from London, of Nov. 21, fays,
" the posts in Canada are to be delivered up
to America on rhe 30th of June, 1796, al
lowing 6 months grace for unavoidable con
tingencies ; after which time, they are to be
free for the passage of the traders of both
countries, with their effects. That goods im
ported from one into the other country, fhail
be liable to the fame duties as may be paya
ble at the ports of either. That felons or
debtors absconding from either to the other
country, shall not be sheltered from justice,
but shall be given up—That the (hipping of
America shall have additional (but reftriaed)
privileges in the trade to the Weftindies—
That commissioners shall be appointed on
both sides to regulate the recovery of debts,
and generally, so far as we have been able to
learn, tbeterms give the greatest fatofaaion
to all we have heard mention them, and we
sincerely pray, that this'treaty may prove the
foundation cf the most perfeft harmony, and
lading friendfhip between the two countries,
and that they may, not be interrupted by con
siderations unworthy the notice of either."
The treaty concluded^utAeen the United
States and the Six Nations of Indians, men
tioned foroe time since, has been officially
publidied at Philadelphia. It is signed by
Gen. Pickering, and a number of Indians.

Nov. 25. Yesterday arrived rhe
Mail from Holland ; and also a ler
vant from his Royal Highness the
Duke of York, with dispatches to
governments He left the Head Quar
ters at Arnheim on Friday last.
The news received yesterday, is of
very considerable importance. We
learn that a Truce has been signed
between the Duke of York ana the
' French General, commanding on the
Waal, that their troops Ihould not
molest each other—and in conte
quence of this agreement, both armies
are preparing to go into winter quar
ters.
The news from France is not left
interesting, and we find that the Mo
derate Party has just obtained anoth
er vidory over that of Terror; The
Convention has passed a decree, per
mitting such Emigrants as have not
borne; arms against the Republic, to
return to their possessions in France,
and peaceably to re-assume their for
mer profeffiont. This meafute is the
best striking proof we have yet had
of the progress of moderatifm in that
country ; and the advancement of the
French Revolution towards some fort
of regular government.
We understand that Mr. Jay is a
bout to set Out from this country, to
Paris, on business of very great im
portance to this kingdom, and to all
Europe.
|<, Gen. Fox haslately had two inter
views with the French General Piche
gru.
We can state, on the most certain
authority, that the Court of Madrid
has at no time been more determined
to carry on the war with all vigour
and energy that it is capable of. The
Duke d'Alcudia continues at the head
of affairs, nor is there any talk of a
change. Pampalunia is flill in the
possession of the Spaniards, and there
is good ground to hope that the ene
my will not be able to capture it.
We can now almost pofirively con
tradia the report of the death of Til
lien, There are letters in town from
Paris, of a later date, than the 12th
inst. which (peak of the affairs of that
country, but fay not a word about the
death of Tallien, nor the capture of
Nantz by the Royalist.
A French prize-matter fays, that, on
the 23d of OR. two ships of the line,
and 16 traafporg, full of troops, fail
ed for the Weftindies.
Spaniards Defeated.
PARIS, nov. 30, Several official
accounts inform of the defeat of the
Spaniards, near the Eastern Pyrennes,
on the 17th, iß<h, 19th and 20th
November. The French army, un
der Geo, Dugomier, attacked alt the
works and redoubts of the Spaniards,
defended by 50,000 men, and 80
pieces of cannon ; and commanded;
by count de PUnion. The contest
was long, and the daughter dreadful.
The French were completely vidori
ous. No prisoners were taken; but
immense quantities of stores, and tents
for 5%000 men, fell into tyrbto.
Both commanders in chief were killed
—The confequerce of this defeat wn
that the strong castle of S p . Fernando
de Faguieres, furreadered, with a gar
rilon of 9107 men, 150 pieces of can
non, ana immense quantities of p<o
vifions: The garrison were made pri
soners of war. The Frerch forces
were investing Rosez —which it was
expected wood soon furrenCer. The
name of Dugomier h^ beta ordered
to be inferibed in the Pantheon.
Britijb Army in Flanders.
London, Jan. 3. The British ar
my continues on fie banks of the
,Waal. The French have threatened
several times to pah it, but they are
in want of boats for their artillery -=
During the late intense weather, it is
feared that river will freeze over, and
Nature thereby furnish a bridge to
farther the operations of the viaprioos
Carmagnols. Fort St. Andre, holds
out. The governor replied to the
summons of surrender, " that he seas
an old soldier, who bod not long to Lie
—and as be never fuffered bis sword to
be tarnifoed when young, be foould no?
when be wasjuff quitting she career of
life." Geo. Abercrombie commands
the army. The Duke of York's
ftaff have all left their commands.
Hague, nov. 28. We have re
ceived intelligence, that on the 24th
inst. Grave surrendered to the French
—The garrison has marched ou: with
arms and baggage, and allowed to
continue to serve agaioft the enemy.
leyden, nov. 28. It is Confidently as
serted, that the garrison of Luxembourg has
surrendered by capitulation, after havingfuf
tained a blockade of five months,
PEACk !— Paris, dec. 4.
The Committee of Public Safety has given in a
report, on the various rumours of Peace, which
have been in circulation ; and after defining the
cause which induced the enemies of the Republic to
fferead those rumours ; the intention of the French
people on thefubjea, is thus proclaimed.
" No, Frenchmen, no, you will not forget the
ceitye that induced you to take up arms, and the only
conditions upon which you can lay them down.
" No, you have not advanced so rapidly in
this glorious career, to stop at the moment
when you are just at the goal ; and when you
I are so near receiving the prize of your viho
ries, you will not fuller it to escape you. Let
not your enemies expert it- We will proge to
them by new efforts and by new triumphs,
that we wish for peace ; but peace worthy of
our defenders, & worthy of the French peo
ple ; & in a word, when the people shall con
fider war as no longer necessary to repair out
rages offered to its dignity, or to preserve,
themselves from new insults, then only will
they put a curb on vidory, then only will
they dictate peace."
