SOMETIME in May, 1793,
O Davis Bill, a lad in the 18th year
of,his age, left his Guardian in Newfane,
State of Vermont ; and by what be had
said to bis mates before he went away,
he was oneafy with his Guardian, and
' intended to keep out of his way till he
was of age ; that he bad thoughts either
of goitfg to tea, or to the eattern parts of
the United States. But as almost one
year has expi; ed since he has been of age,
(if living) and no intelligence has ever
been gained of the lad since he went a
way, the disconsolate mother is anxious
to gain information of her son if possible ;
as the has been bereaved of her hufbind,
and three children with this one, and but
one left to condole with her in her afflic
tions.
He was an a&ive, fprighrly lad, cf
middling stature, dark complexion, with
brown hair and eyes.

Britijb King's Declaration.
[Conduded from our laft,}
THE fubfequehtcondua of his Maj
efty's enemies has aggravated even
this proceeding, and added frefh insult
to this unexampled outrage. The in
formountable obftacl^s which they threw
in the way of peace were accompanied
with an ofteir.atious profeffion of the
muff pacific dispositions. In cutting off
the means of negotiation they still pre.
tend to retain the strongest desire to ne
gotiate ; in ordering the King's Minis.
ter to quit their country, they' possessed
the hope of his immediate return to it ;
and in renewing their former inadmissi
ble and rej^ded demand, they declared
their confident expedation of a speedy ,
and favourable answer. Yet before any
answer could arrive they published a
declaration, announcing to their court
, tty the departure of the King's Minister,
and attempting, as in every former in,
stance, to ascribe to the ebndud of G.
Britain the disappointment of the gene
ral wilh for peace, and the renewal of
all the calamities of war. The feme at
tempt has been prolonged in fubfiquent
cow^nunicariops, equally infiJuous and
illulory, by. which they have ebviovfly
intended to furnish the Colour and emp
ty pretence of a with for peace, while
they have still flodioufly and obstinately
persisted in evading every flep, which
could lead to the foccefs of any negotia
tion; have continued to insist on the
fame ioadmiffible and extravagant Pre
liminar, and have uniformly with held
all explanation either on the particulars
of the propofols of peace so long since
delivered by his Majesty's Minister, or
on any other terms on which they were
themselves ready to conclude: Arid this
in the vain hope, that it could be possi
ble by any artifice to disguise the truth
'pfthefe trahfoaions, or that any exer-\
cife of power, however despotic, could
prevent feeh faas from being known,
felt arid understood, even in France it- ~
^if.
To France, to Europe, and to tbe
World, it must be maniteft, that the
French government (while they perfifi in
their present feutiments) leave bis M j
tfty without an alternative, unless he
were prepared to surrender and facri
fice to the undisguised ambition of his
enemies, the honour of his crown and
!the fafety of his dendnions. It muff be
manifeft, that instead of Shewing, on
their part, any inclinafion-to meet bis
Majesty's pacific overtures on any mode
rate* terms ; they have never brought
themselves to State any terms (however
exorbitant) on which they were ready to
concludes peace. They haveafked as ^
preliminary (and in the form the most
arregant and offenfive) concessions
which the Comparative fituarion of the
two countries would have rendered ex
travSgant in an, Stage of negotiation ;
which were direaly contrary <0 <beir
own repeated profeffions ^ and which,
nevertheless, they peremptorily 'required
to be complied wl'h in the very outset :
Referring an: unlimited power of after
wards accumulating, from Kime to time,
frefh demands, encreafr.g in propor
tion to every new conceffioo.
On the other hand, the terms proposed
by his Majesty have been fitted in the
most clear, open and unequivocal man
ner. The discussion ofall the points to
which they relate, or, of any others,
which the enemy might bring forward
as the terms of peace, las been, on his
Majesty's part, repeatedly called for, as
often promised by the French plenipo
tentiaries, but to this day has never yet
been obtained. The rupture of the ne
gotiation is not therefore to be ascribed
to any pretentious (however inadmissible)
utged fltheprice of Peace ; nor to any
Ultimate difference on terms, however ex
orbitant; but to the evident and fixed
deiermiration of the enemy to prolong
the canteft, and to purfee, at all haz
ards, their hostile designs against the
profgerity and Safety of these kingdoms.
... WbikKhis dplermincticn continues to
prevail, his Mfrfi,'s earnest wishes and
endeavours to restore peace to bis fub
jeds most be fruitlefs. But his fenti
wents remain unaltered. He looks with
anxious expedation to the moment when
the government of France may Shew ^
difoofaion and Spirit in any degree car
rtfponding to his own. And be renews,
'even now, and before all Europe, the
fole^n declaration, that, in spite of re
peated provocations, and at the very
mofftent when his claims have been
strengthened and confirmed by that
frerffucctfs which, by the blessing of
Providence, has recently attended his
armi, he is yet ready (if the calamities
of gar can. now be closed) to conclude
Peate on the moderate and equitable
principles and terms which he has be
fore proposed: The rejection of such
teros must now, more than ever, de
monstrate the implacable animosity and'
infitiable ambition of those with whom
he so to contend, and to them alone
mu& the future consequences of the pro
lonfeation of the war be ascribed.
U^fuch unhappily is the spirit by which
the, are itil actuated, his Mfyfty can
neither hefirate as to the principles of
hisjown conduct, nor doubt the fe^ti
mehts and determination of his people.
Hewill not be wan ing to them, and he
is Confident they will not be wanting
to themselves. He has an anxious, but
xficred and indispensable duty to ful
fill He will discharge it with resolution,
constancy and firmnefs. Deeply as he
mud regret the continuance of a war, so
deftruaive in its progress, and so burth
eßfomeeven in its foccefs, he knows the
ch, rafter of the brave people whose in
terests and honor are entrufled to him.
These it is rhe fifft ebjea of his life to
„ntzin: And he is Convinced, that ,
neither the refourecs nor the fpririt ®f
his kingdoms will be found inadequate
to this arduous conreft, or unequal to the
importance and value of the obj°ris
which are at flake. He trust,, that the
favour of Providence, by which they
have always hitherto been Supported a
gainft all tbeir enemies, will flill be ex
tended to their; and that, under this
proteaion, tris faithful fu bjeas, by a
rcfelutc and vigorous application of the
means which they pofkfs, will be CT&
, bled to vindicate the independence of
their country, and to resist with just in
,wit
dignation the assumed superiority of an
enemy, against whom they have fought
with the courage, and success, and glo
ry of tpeir ancestors, and who aims at
nothing less than to destroy at once
whatever has contributed to the prosper
i:y and greatriefs of the British empire :
All the channels of its industry, and all
the fourecs of its power ; its Security
from abroad, its tranquility at home, &,
above all, that constitution, on which
alone depends the undisturbed enjoy
ment of its religion laws, and liberties.

Adminiftratioo, he doff not thn k
his own Government has aded
with the ftrideft p opriety, Al
luding to the privieges which he
fuppofei conferred upin the Eng
li(h by our Treity with them, &
the right of the Republic to be on
the fame footing, he fays,
" There were only two exped*
ienti for eft^ing thia deferable
object. First, by a legifiative de*<
cifion, fufpendirg those chufes in
our treaty of 1778, which rtcog*
nize a dodrine contrary to shtr efr
tabilhed by the treaty of London, —t
Secondly, we might by a simple
Executive a&, avail ourselves of
the second article in the treaty of
1778, which guarantees to ut eve
ry advantage of navigation and
commerce according to other pow
ers ; and thus, by the aid of this
article, put the Republic on the
fame footing with England.-
The Directory preferred the latter,
as the most convenient mode, and
as firstly constitutional. The o
ther, however, would have given
more decifon to the fyflem of re
ciprocity, and prevented much
clamour.
"Here we must do justice to
thole who deserve it. The Di
redory, or rather its Micifters,
have exhibited great irresolution,
and want of knowledge io the,
business they bad to arrange, it
cannot eaffly be conceived, why
they decreed, on the 14th Meffi
dor, 4'h year, July 2, that the
French cruizes should observe
the fame condua towards neutrals,,
as they permitted on the part of
the Englilh. The armed force is
direaed to aft io so delicate a
