Political Miscellany.
POLITICAL state of EUROPE.
RUSSIA —Undetermined and wa
vering not knowing what part
to take in the present war in Europe,
withing to join the leagubof despots,
but afraid to incur the resentment of
France, in case that nation should tri
umph over her enemies ; an event
which is scarcely at this lime to be
doubted.
DENMARK-Culti vating peace
with all nations and making large ad
ditions to her navy.
SWEDEN—Diffatisfied with her,
government,and seeking its overthrow
by plots and confpiraces against the
Duke Regent.
POLAND— This once happy and
floyrifhing kingdom, is now reduced
to two diftrias by the injustice of two
Nothern Vultures, who prey upon the
vitals of its inhabitants, and have u
surped both law and government in
their own hands.
GERMANY— Engaged in a fruit
lefs and ruinous war with France;
its finances exhausted, and its people
all obliged to turn fokfiers, or subsi
dize to defray the expence of another
campaign.
PRUSSlA—Precifely in the fame
predicament as Germany
HOLLAND— Tired of the war ;
her troops returning to their own
country after being ignominoudy
beaten by the army of the Sans Cu
lottes, and its inhabitants heartily sick
of a contest which brings nothing
but disgrace and ruin on all its advo
cates. ,
FRANCE— In the midst of war,
the clangour of arms and the contin
ual roar of cannon, its armies every
where viaorious,iu navy refpeftable,
and the national coffers overflowing
with money ; its present government
firm and decisive, and resolved on
liberty or death.
SPAlN—lnvaded by a French ar
my, suing for peace which is obfti
n,tely denied them ; their kingdom
in danger, land forces making an un
foccefsful resistance and part of their
navy obliged to join with Lord
Hood, in making a difgraceful and
precipitate retreat from the harbor of
Toulon.
ENGLAND—Has got the hor
rors finee the taking ofc Toulon, and
the various defeats of the Duke of
Brunswick and Gen. Wurmfa's ar
my, on the Rhine, the nation nearly
three hundred millions in debt, yet
resolved to prosecute the war and, if
possible, to drag in America, to put
the foiling stroke ^to her political
existence and tyrannic (way, as a mon
larchical power. '^ECt

OFFICIAL LETTER,
From the Secretary of State, of the tgtbtf April,
to Mr. Hammond, in answer to bis of the rab
of Marcb.
PHILADELPHIA, APRIL Z 9, 1794.
SIR.•
VERY soon after the receipt of your
letter of the 10th ult. 1 took more
than one opportunity of mentioning
to you verbally, that the government
of the United States was sincere and
constant in its determination to fulfil
its assurances, concerning the diftrifti
occupied by the British troops, and
the & of violence said to be com
mitted under the authority of the
State of Vermont, on the perlons and
property of British fubje& residing
under the protection of your garrisons.
I indeed promised to give you , Answer in
writing, at an earlier day than this. But be
ing anxious to obtain particular information
from a gentleman who Was in town,-Well ac-
I quainted with the places to which you refer.
and from some accident, not being able ns
yer to lay my hands upon the letter of Mr.
Jefferfon to you on the 9th of July, 1792, I
was hopeful that my personal declaration to
you, would continue to receive such full con
fidence as to afford Efficient opportunity for
the most particular enquiry. But being dif
appeinted, in feeing that gentleman, I think
it best to answer your letter without further
delay.
I have it in charge from the President of
the United States, again to assure you, that
his purpose to cultivate harmony with your
nation, and to prevent the measures of which
you complain in the above letters, continues
unchanged. Orders will be immediatly re
peated upon this point, to repress the vio
lences which you state, and they ihall be ac
companied with an injunction to use against
theretradors every coertion which the laws
will permit. We have received no intelli
gence of the particular fads to which you
refer. But to prevent all unnecessary circu
ity in firft enquiring into them, and next
transmitting to this citythe result, the prop
er inftrudions will be given to aft without
waiting for further directions.
In these measures, Sjr, you will fee a real
difoofition in us to frierdfhip, and good
neighbourhood ; and I shall be juftified by
your own recolledion, when I claim the mer
it of our haying been uniform in the fame
demon Orations. I have the honor to be, &c.
