From NEWrORK, Aug. 1 3 .
" Since 1 wrote you last, Mr. Ran.
dolph, she rfrSc Cfetary, has puffed
through this city, on hit way to New
port. lam happy in learning that
hi# resignation hat not taken place on
.account of any mifunderftandiog with
jthe President, as reported ; and that
/ Mr. R. is fixed jn his approbation of
the condua of the Executive and Sen
ate, on the fubjea of the treaty. Va
rious are the conjectures on Mr. R's
journey to Rhodeifland ; if it were
for hit health, it is probable he would
have carried hit family with him;
and would have no need of an official
secretary, which I learn he retain#.—
In my mind, he is gone on some im
portant mission to Newport ; where
perhaps, he may embark for France,
to prevent the United States from
(offering from misreprefenlation on the
fubje& of&e treaty.
There fettled plan with the
antifederal diforganizers throughout
the continent to effed two object ;
First, to provoke the French nation
co menace the United States ; and
Secondly, to destroy, if possible, the
confidence of the people, in their be
loved Washington. All their imps
are at work in fabricating lies against
that great and good mao— But they
will fail of effect.— Like Atlas, tho'
ftormi and tempefta thunder on its
brow, and ocean break on it# billows
at its feet, is reft# secure ; so will our
Illuftriom Chief Magistrate. The
Shafts of malice, envy, and madning
rage, will recoil on the wicked dis
chargers of them ; and rivet more
firmly the affedion of the people.
The fever which has created so
much anxiety is faft abating ; and is
confined to that part of Wacer-ftreet,
between Peek's and the new flip.
Caps. Choate, from Guadeloupe,
mentions, that the number of British
(transports taken and sent in there,
was nineteen, with 900 troops on
board.

FROM EUROPE—the latest.'
The profpeas of peace in Europe,
'are not so bright as they have been.
The Emperor of Germany, by an of
ficial paper, has contradicted the re
ports of his being in negotiation with
the French, Instead of treating, he
is levying vast numbers of forces,
who af e marching to the Rhine, to
reinforce the armies, opposed to Gen.
Pichegru. The latter has declared he
will pass “& Rhine, or drink it up."
„ Os course we may nowexped to bear
K *BLOODY NEWS," from that
quarter. On the other fide of France,
instead of negotiation by civil Am
bassadors, they are daily endeavoring
to convince the Spaniards by bard ar
gumenu, of the neoeffity
Combining these together, we may
not look for its bfeft return this year.
Wc fear the article refpefting a
truce between the Algerines and Por
tugal, is true. The account is extrad
ed from a Madrid paper, which ap
pears to be official.

The Africa has returned te her old

Start of her ; and a thick mist arising,
she " toiled all night after, her objeEl,

Extras of a letter from a gentleman in
Paris, to bis friend in this town,
dated June 20.
66 Two days ago, I saw as horrid a
Spectacle as ever was exhibited I be

National Convention, were tried and
condemned to be guillotined ; the

NEWBURYPORT, SEPT. 10.
Capt. Michael Titcomb, arrived y§fterday
from Surrinam, gives the following particu
lars:'
That the orange cockade, (usually worn
as a mark of refped for their late Prince) in
consequence of orders from the Governor of
Surrinam, is abolished ; no officer or soldier
was fuffered to appear with any other than a
black one. The officers in particular, with
great reluctance, obeyed the orders of the
Governor, as they were universally disposed
towards the Prince. The Republican party
drew up a petition to be sent to the Gov. that
they may enjoy the liberties now enjoyed by
the French Republic ; but the Governor re
ceiving information thereof, previous to their
presenting the fame, issued orders, forbidding
their presenting it to him, and peremptorily
refufed receiving any thing of that nature
from theq,. The Governor's principles, as
a Republican, were not doubted, but parti
cular circumstances, and particularly the
present confufed state of the colony (it is said)
prevented his openly avowing the fame.
, An express had arrived at Surrinam, with
the alarming news of a revolt among the ne
groes at Demarara.
CONCORD, Sept. 18, 1795.
;FROM BOSTON, SEPT. 12.
FROM FRANCE—DIRECT.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Mary,
Capt. Homans, in 57 davs from Bourdeaux.
By him we learn, that provisions were plenty
at that place; and that there were no ex
ternal evidence, that the Republic was at
war. The topic of conversation was the
landing of the emigrants in Quiberon Bay ;
but they were considered as offerings prepar
ed for the facrifice.
NEWYORK, SEPT. 3.
Extraa of a letter from a ge^ernon in Tobago,
fated tbo igtb July, to to corfofeondra in
',' Baltimore.
;." About the ift inst. a large fleet of Weft
indiamen, were met by some French Frigates
'about 100 leagues to the Eastward of Barba
does ; if fail of them were captured with
about 500 troops on board and carried to
Guadafoupe, which gave the French a fine
} fupply of provisions. The British had near
ly overcome the insurgents (as they call them)
in St. Vincents, but the French landed on
the 6th inst. 250 men from St. Lucia, which
has put the colony in as great confufion as
, ever; with the loss of a great number of
the inhabitants.
“St. Lucia is entirely evacuated by the
British troops and the French in complete
pofftffion. They took the fart with much
fewer numbers than were in the iufide, but
took few prisoners, as most of them made
their escape in boats to the English men of
war. About 2500 troops are arrived lit Mar
tinique, who were destined for St. Domingo,
but they will most likely remain to the wind
ward. Such boys were never seen before in
the Weftindiu, numbers of thpir Captains
are nut above 16 years of age. Grenada re
mains in the fame situation.

Bofa, Sept. 14. It appears the French
fleet is blocked^ip in the port of Breit by the
Englilh. The communication between that
city and Rochefort is entirely flopped.
Dulcet has read in the Convention a let
ter from the Commander in Chief of the ar
mies of the coasts of Cherbourg, giving an
account, of an important vidory gained over
the Chouans. In several other cantons the
Republicans triumph. Paris is tranquil.
M. FAYETTE.
A Paris paper of June 20th, fays, “ The
German Gazettes have announced that the
King of Prussia has caused the French prif.
Oners at Magdebourg and Spandau tc be re
leased. M. de la FAYETTE and his com
panions in misfortune. Bureau de Puzi, and
A. Lameth, were in one of these fortreffes.
Have they been included in this aft of justice
and humanity ? We know not.
Sept. 15. The RUSSIAN FLEET, Capt.
Nickels informs, confiding of 12 fail of the
line, and 12 frigates, palfed El..neur for En
gland, on the izth of July, without the least
©ppofitibn on the part of the Swedes and
Danes ; but rather with their aid and alb st
ance.
Capt Freeman, from I'Orient July 18,
fays, provisions of every kind, except bread,
were plenty. The English fleet was lying at
, the mouth of the harbor. The French fleet
was in the harbor. A Capt. had died of his
wounds since their arrival. The Republi
cans, and Emigrants lately landed, had an
engagement two days before he failed, which
ended to the disadvantage of the Emigrants.
They loft 4 pieces of ordnance, and many
men killed.
London, July 9. A grand coun
cil of war wit held at Vienna, on the
2oth*ult; at which the Emperor pre
xfidfed io person. Couriers were im
mediately difpatcbed for rhe army on
the Banks of the Rhine, arid for that
io Italy ; and the measures that were
instantly adopted indicated, an inten
tion of profecu;ing the war with frefh
vigour. Orders were issued for tailing
immediately 80,000 recruit#.
By account# received yesterday from
Peterfburgh, we learn, that the Ruf
fian fleet failed on the 14th ult. from
Crooftadt for the Downs. It confift#
of four Ihipi of 74 guns, fix of 66,
land fevea frigates, all in high order
and condition.
This morriirig 2000 letter# from
Lord Bridport's fleet, were landed,
and put into the Poft-office.
July 11. Difpatcties are received
at the Admiralty, from Sir Richard
Strachan, giving an account of the
squadron under hi# command having
fallen in with a (mail fleet of French
veffel# off the coast of France, laden
with naval floret, and under a convoy
of a (loop of war, all of which were
captured. There are fix veffeli, be
fide# the (loop, and they are likely to
prove very valuable prizes.
Advice# are allo received from
Commodore Sir John Warren, in the
Bay of QuiberOn. We have been
favored with the following copies of
letters from officer, in the emigrant
regimenti :—
“On the Coast of ^uiberon, ?nne
30,1795. 10 o'clock at night,
" The Governor of BelleiOe ha#
been invited to acknowledge Louis
XVIIL In his firft answer he refufed
to do so ; but in terms which allow
u# to hope, that the least fuccefa we
obtain will dispose him to forreoder.
The peafant# arrive from all parts in
great numbers, and receive uniform#
and arms. A part of our army has
marched to Aurai, which place has
been evacuated by the Republicans.
In the course of the lift week, the
Chouans had an engagement with the
garrison of Vannes, near the bridge
of Pontile. The affion lifted three
hours, and the loft of the Period was
very considerable. At Vanned, the
principle town in Morbihan, there are
no more than 800 Republican#,"

two leagues from Aurai.
" 1 am in France Since yesterday.
The Chousni received us in the most
kind and friendly manner j men, w&
men and children, c#me to meet %
They call us their brethren, friends ;
bring us all they have got, and con
dud us to their dwellings. They as-
Sure us to have in Morbihan, 60 of
70,000 men able to bear arm:. Al
though I am led to thick that this ac
count is father exaggerated by enthu
fidim, yet it is true, that their number
is very confiderable^ We have cow
about 10,000 of them with us, who
have sworn an inviolable a::cchmect
to God and our King. Every hoOf,
bands of Chouans arrive, 500,800, or
1000 men Strong.— We nave reason
to hope a most fortunate change of
circurcftancei. The air resounds far
around us with inceffme Shouta of
Long live the King / Long live the
Cbouans!
" This country promises a plentiful
harvest. The Republicans did cot
remain, long enough makers of this
province to deforce it.—We have
found here plenty of cattle, corn, ve
getables, milk, and even wine, aitho'
the country produces none."
The Empress of Russia is Gid to
have resolved to assist the Emperor
with an army of 80,000 men, who are
to a& on the Upper Rhine. The'
Prussians in Poland begin to approach
Warsaw; and are only at the diftanee
of half a league from if.
Lord Moira's army now consists of
12 battalions. They are ordered to
be ready for embarkation at an hour's
notice.
The conduct of the Ele^ot of
Hanover, as well as that of the Land
grave of Htffe Caffel, has been very
grossly misconceived in this country.
We fpesk co the authority of letter#
from the Landgrave of Hesse himfelf,
received within thete few davs, that be
has entered into no treaty whatever with
the French Republic, aor has he with
drawn any of his troops, which were
io subsidy to Grea^brhain.
Tne Eledorate ot Hesse, as well
at chat of Hanover, being included io
the line of demarcation marked out in
the treaty between Prussia & France,
will remain neuter in the war; at the
fame time neither of them are pre o
eluded from subsisting their troop#
to a foreign power. We will ven
ture to amrm, that these two Electo
rates will form no alliance with
France, until a general peace is made.
