Maritime Expeditions againf ber Coasts, as weft as
what remains of kr Marine and Colonies ; and the

PHILADELPHIA, APRIL. 16. .
The Secretary of State having receiv
ed no advices from Cadiz, refpeding
the rupture of our treaty with Tunis,
induces us to diferedit the report given

Extraa of a letter from Capt. Tryon, of the flip
Connecticut, to the Secretary of the Navy .dat
ed February 9, 1800.
"On the 13th ult. I fell in wjth a French
privateer schooner of 14 gun< which 1 chafed

Mutiny in Jhip Congress.
On the 4th inst. a most serious and alarming
Mutiny broke out on board the Congress frigate
of 36 guns, lying at Craney Ifland,4 nriles below
the town of Norfolk. About 200 of the sea
men of the spar deck, paraded on the forecaftle,
and gave three cheers as a signal for mutiny.—
Only three commissioned officers were on board
the ship at the time—these were, the Captain,
firft Lieut, and Lt. Llewellyn, of the Marines.
The bugnefs wore a dreadful afpe& for some
time, but was soon fettled by the extraordinary
exertions of the Marine# under the command of
Lt. Llewellyn.
Seven of the ringleaders were secured by their
exertions and deposited in Norfolk goal. The
mutiny took place at night—and it was not,
withstanding quelled without bloodshed.
A letter from an officer on board, states, that
the Marines were paraded with uncommon alac
rity, and Rationed in the best poffiblc positions.,
Capt. Sever compliments them in the highest
terms. — :
RAfpierre and the People.
An intelligent and well informed French gen
tleman lately in this city, speaking of that bloo
dy tyrant Robespierre, and having said," That
he was not a man of ability. That he was no
orator, a very ungraceful speaker, extremely
ugly in his person, and a poor timid creature,"
was asked how it was possible that a man such
as he had described could for a moment, much
left for a length of time govern so great, so in
telligent a nation as the French ; rule with an
abfolutc sway such a body as the national con
vention, and dispose as he did of the lives and
fortunes of the French people as his caprice dic
tated ? answered, the reason is plain. He pro
nounced the words The People better than any
man in France, and so sensible was he of their
cffed, that in a difeourfe of 15 minutes he would
ufc the words 40 times."
Thus while that inhuman and bloody mon
ger was fending this fame people by scores from
' day to day to the guillotines, he by the mere use
of the magic words the people, and by profeffing
great regard for their rights and liberties, made
them believe he was their only friend and pro
tedor.
It is confidently believed that a very great
majority of out exclusive patriots, our thorough
going democrats and jacobins use the words here,
with precisely the fame intention, and with full
as much real regard for those rights as Robes
pierre. .
NEW-TORK, APRIL 9.
Yesterday morning Judge Washington de
livered his opinion in the case of the Amelia.
The Amelia was a Hamburgh ship and tak
en in September last, in going from Calcutta to
Europe by a French privateer—after remain
ing about ten days in her possession, she was re- N
captured by the Constitution frigate, command
ed by Capt. Talbot. The ship and cargo were
libelled in the Diftrid Court, one half of the
nett proceeds given to the re-captors as salvage.
From this decree the owners appealed to the
Circuit Court of the United States. The ap
peal was argued on Saturday last. Mr. Burr
and Mr. B. Livingston contended that the de
cree of the Diflria Court should be reversed in
toto, or that a much smaller salvage should be
allowed —Gen. Hamilton and Mr. Harrison
argued in favor of the decree.
Judge Washington, after taking notice of
the arguments on both sides, gave his decided
opinion that no salvage was due; and therefore
reversed the decree of the diftrid court.
Jg but justice to Judge Washington to fay,
that we have never heard an opinion delivered
in a manner more amiable, elegant or perfpicu
cus..
We underftaud the Amelia and her cargo
fold for about 200,000 dollars, the whole of
,which will now be paid to tlre owners, a cir
cumstance which reflects the greatest honor on
the adminirtration of justice in the United
States.

a quarrel took place between an American and
' an Irishman in an adjoining room ; the landlord
being lame requested Capt. S. to endeavor to
part them; and while he was attempting it, a
brother of the Irishman struck him a blow on
his head wi,h a heavy stone, which featured hi#
scull, and rendered him immediately fenfelcft

BOSTON, APRIL 1,.
• In England public confidence has not been at
a higher pitch these five years.—Mr. Pitt has
obtained the immense loan of Twenty Millions
and an half ftcrling, atra little more than four
, and an hall per cent, interest, per annum ! A
scarcity of bread is, however, complained of;
,but Mr. Pitt in the House of Commons, Feb.
1 17th, assured the House, “ that a very confider
. able supply of corn had been already obtained;
that menfures of the most cfcdnal kind had been
, taken to quiet every apprehension on that head,
and that the nation had at that moment re
sources equal both to the want of corn, and to
;the exigencies of the War."
The measure for uniting the kingdoms of
Great-Britain and Ireland, has succeeded in all
its preliminaries.—lt, however, occasions vio
lent proceedings ; ard has been the caufc of
many duels between men in the higher stations.
, The government is inflexible ;—and the mar
!quis of Devonshire, for having given circulation
amongst his officers to a petition against the
! Union, has had his name struck from the lift
jof Privy Counfillors ; and been difpiaced
from his regiment.
r Buonaparte has made similar propositions for
negotiation to the German Emperor that he has
done to the King of Gfeat-Bricain ; and theirl
success has been similar.
A proportion has been made for railing two
hundred millions for Buouaparteby a volunta
ry restitution upon the part of every dilapidator
in his Republic, of half what he has plundered:
from it. The plan is excellent, just, and natur-|
al. Many contractors, it is said, will have a )
jmillion to fubferibe# The contribution of Buon-1
aparte himfelf will amount to cxa&ly Laif a
Crown.
The allied General Staff, the ensuing campaign, it
!is said, will be thus arranged,:-— Prince Saw irrow
I will command in Chief, on the Rhine, with General'
I Kray as bis Lieutenant ;---tbe Archduke Charles,

A DEATH ! worth reading !
From the Conneaicut Journal.
DIED] —At Paris, in Fiance, on the sth Ni
vofe, Bth year of the French Republic, one and
indivisible, Jacobinism, aged Ten years, three
months and fix days. He was the legitimate
offspring of ambition and cruelty. His defeent,
we can trace back, in a right line, to a certain
noted personage who pra&ifed a gross fraud up
on our grand mother Eve in the Garden of E
den. Ic appears that a double portion of the spirit
of his ancestor defeendednpon him. He was
begotten and born a short time before Louis the
16th was beheaded ; and the ' then only about
two years and an half old, was principal agent
in that tranfaftion. From his earliest days he
gave decided proof of a capacity for mifehief &
deftrudion. The firfl victim of his malice was
his nurse whom he inhumanly butchered, when
he was yet but fifteen days old, and, thro* the
short period of his cxiflence, he has murdered
ever Y guardian to whom he has been entrusted,
except Buonaparte.
Neither his father nor mother were permitt
ed the exercise of their faculties, because this
urchin insisted that the world was too small for
his own ravages.
He also early shewed himfelf fierce and cruel
to strangers. He went with gigantic flrides,
fi om nation to nation, seeking objeds to gratify
his malice ; and Kings and Nobles fell before
him. He swept away Religion, Law, and order
with indiscriminate fury, and sighed and prayed
only for blood and treasure.
To effectually fubferve his own designs of
murder, he invented an entirely new inftrii
ment of death called a Guillotine, with which
he frequently flew his hundreds before breakfaft,
and by which thousands have perished.
He robbed and plundered half Europe ; and
the defcncelefs Egyptians were not too incon
fidcfable for his rapine. He flopped across the
Atlantic, erefled democratic societies, fp;ead
difeord, and finotc with a deadly malady where
ver he appeared.
Robespierre and Marat were jealous of his
greatness, and funk under a frown from his
face.
His popularity was, for years, unbounded in
Europe; and in America Ids admirers and de
voters paid him homage.
At; length Buonaparte, to whose peculiar care
and protection he was committed, became cx
afperated at his numerous abominations, and
planned his death. Force and open attack, he
knew would be ineffectual. He therefore form
ed the grcAt project of destroying this monster
by covert means. He prepared a pill composed
of despotism, monarchy, aristocracy and demo
cracy, and covered it with " liberty and equality,"
a diet of which this creature was immoderately
fond.—lt was administered by the " sovereign
ty of the people one and indivisible" —He swal
lowed it without suspicion, and expired sth Ni-
Vofe, without a groan. Paris, which had idol
ized him, rejoiced at his death, in all her assem
blies, and the friends of order, said, Amen.
Buonaparte, the Conqueror of Italy, &c &c.
by this dexterous manoeuvre, added another
feather to his " liberty Cap," and wrote to George
the 3d; announcing the death of Jacobinism,
and requerting his Majesty to join in an anthem
at the funeral, and with him to fmoak the pipe
of Peace.
How the death of this Giant is received by
his humble followers in America, may be learn
ed, by reading the following short letter, writ
ten since the intelligence came, from a correfpon*
dent in Hartford th his friend m this place.
" Hartford 3d Germinal, %tb year of the
French Republic, one and indivisible."
" DEAR BROTHER,
" YOU have doubtless heard of the melan
cholly end of our great friend and patron Jaco
binism in Paris.
" It seems that his death was effected by the
once great atid good a,of le (now update) Buon
aparte. You have allo learned by what means
this object was accomplilhed ; and you have
likewise seen the affecting and tragical letter
whch is addressed, thro' the pious Talleyrand, to
George the 3d, announcing this events
“ This wound given to our cause is indeed
grieviousj and what adds to the poignancy of
grief, is that it was given " in the house of its
frie nd."—
“ What shall we fay to those billing exprcffions
in this letter,/which mention that his Majesty
" reigns over a free people'.' § and that " his foie
objeft is to make them happy ?" " This was
the unkindf cut of all." — But let Us not despair.---
Lct us " appeal to the people."— Let us con
jure them by the blood of Roberfpierre,by the
ashes of our great predecessor Marat, and by
the dying groans of the innumerable vi&ims of
the Guillotine, so rife and avenge our expiring
cause. Let there be one more great effort to
destroy all human inflitutions, and, if we perish
in the attempt, our bodies will be embalmed
with Danton, and our names enrolled in the
pantheon of Liberty. Let all the Democratic
focietiqs meet and intercede with some “ tried'
Patriot" in the caufc of Jacobinism, to devise
some scheme to dispel our despondency. There
is yet the pen of a Priestly , and there are Gal
latins and Lyons—and why ! O why should
we despair ?"
" I am your afflicted
" friend and fallow laborer,

Among the many ads of perfidy attributed
to Buonaparte during his command in Italy, is
the conduct he observed towards the duke of
Modena, in 1796. Arriving in the neighbour
hood of Modena with his army, the duke agreed
to allow him a free paffagt, and make a pay
ment of 600,000 crowns, in order to have his
fubjedls exempted from any farther requisitions.
When that sum was transmitted to his head
quarters, she “ hero" objeded to its being filvcr,
and appointed a day for the payment being made
in gold, and sent it to Buonaparte, who inftcad
of returning him his filvcr, entered Modena the
fame evening, and obliged the prince to fly,
harraffed the whole country with exactions and
requisitions of every kind, and plundered the
churches, palaces, &c.
