PHILADELPHIA, APRIL IQ.
Extract of a letter from Mr. King, Minifer
Plenipotentiary of tbe United States of America,
in London, to Mr. Pickering, Secretary of
State,dated London, 31st December. 1799.
THE provisional Government of
France, repealed on the 20th inst.
the law of the 29th Nivofc, 6th year
[lßth Jan. 1798] and declared that
the regulations of 1778, in refpedtto
the rights of belligerents and neutrals
should in future be ftridly observed."
^'The regulations above alluded tofwere
fublijhed by order of the French King, July
26, 1778. — By the firfl article His Mi
jefty forbids all privateers to take and
carry into the ports of his kingdom any
Ships belonging to neutral powers, even
though they mould have failed from an
enemy's port or be bound thither ; un
less such fliips shall be carrying fuccours
.to places belonging to an enemy then
blockaded, invested or besieged. In
case the ihips of neutral Rates shall be
laden with contraband articles for the
use of the enemy, such ships may be
stopped, and the said articles seized
and confifcated ; but the vessel and re
mainder of the cargo, shall be released,
unless the said contraband articles com
pose three fourths of the value of the
cargo : in which case the ship and car
go shall be entirely confifcated. His
majesty, however, reserves the power
of revoking the liberty given by this
article, if the belligerent powers do not
grant the fame within fix months, from
the day of the publication of this re
gulation.
By the 2d art. " The makers of neu
tral ships shall be obliged, when at sea,
to prove their neutral property, by pass
ports, bills of lading, invoices, and other
papers on board ; one of which at lead
muff inconteftibly prove the neutral
property, or must contain a precise enu
meration of it. As to charter parties,
and othesipapers which shall not be
signed, it is his majesty's pleasure that
such shall be considered as null and of
no effed.
By the gth article, " All foreign ships
shall be deemed good prize, on board
which shall be found a supercargo, clerk
or other superior officer, fubjefts ofhis
majesty's enemies ; or whose crews shall
be composed of more than one third
fubje&s of his majesty's enemies, or
who shall not have on board a proper
lift of the fhip's company [role d' equi
page] authenticated by the public offi
cers of the neutial places from whence
the vessels shall have failed.
And by the 13th. " In case any French
privateer shall contravene the provisions
of the present regulation, such vessels
and their cargoes, except what is liable
to confifeation shall be delivered up,
and the said privateer shall be con
demned to pay such damages and in
terest as shall be thoughtjuft."
NORFOLK, APRIL J.
On Wednesday last a number of refpeaable
gentlemen of this Borough, gave an entertain
ment to Commodore Truxton, to which were
invited his Britannic Majesty's Consul, captains
Barron and Sever, of the Chesapeake and Con
gress frigates, such of the officers of the Con
llellation as could be spored from the ship, and
many genteel Grangers'
At three the company fat down to a very
handsome dinner, prepared by Mr. Rourke,
at tne Exchange Coffee-Houfe.

grateful people.
3d. The American navy—may it annihilate
the pirates of the ccean, and protect our com

4th 0 The army of the United States—may
those who with to rob the soldiers of the rights
oftitizens, be considered as the enemies of our
country.
sth. The Majority of both Houses of Con
gress—may the approbation of their constitu
ents reward their patriotism.
6th. The minority—while fadion and party
Spirit govern their conduct, may they ever re
main a minority.
7th. The heads of departments—may wisdom
unanimity, interest, and firmnefs distinguish our
councils.
Bth. Our Envoys to France—peace with all
the world, and the national honor unsullied.

intrepidity may the flag of our country be ever

Boston, APRIL 30.
From GREAT-BRITAIN.
By an arrival at New-York.
The intentions of the Ruffian Cabinet as they
reTped the approaching campaign, are again
" puzzled in mazes." The Hamburg mails due
at London, or. the 28th February, remained due
on the sth March ; conjequratly no direa inform
ation Lad been received by tbe Britijh government :
and tbe French papers " blow hot and cold" on
tbe fubjeß ; one paragraph regularly contradicting
tbe preceding, and being contradifled by tbefucceeding
one. Tbe Adrians, however, are preparing to
open tbe campaign immediately ; and tbe French are
by no means unprepared.
A rupture between Raffia and Prussia appears en
gendering. Tbe latter bus augmented its armies ;—-
and is mating bead in Soutb-Pruffia (once Poland).
Tbe Hotfpur of tbe North, will not be flow in deter
mining on bojiilities.
In England, an expedition of feme expeßancy is
certainly onfoot. — Tbe Morning-Pft,of March &b,
declares, " tbe moll aaive preparations to be making
at Portf,ioutb,for one, which will fail sooner than
tbe public expe& ; and that federal coaches were on
tbe preceding day pressed to convey soldiers through
London. Britanny is supposed to be tbe objea.
Tbe union of Ireland with Great-Britain ceases
to excite uneafnefs. Tbe government has completely
triumphed ; and the opposition appears fatisfed with
tbefraggle it has made.
LATEST fom EUROPE.
BOSTON MAY 2.
On Sunday last, there was another ar
rival at New-York from London. Pa
pers to March 8. On the 6th, the Brit
ish Lords of the Admiralty received
letters from 1 Ad. Gardner off Brest ;
they dated, that the combined French
and Spanish fleets at Brest, amounting
to 43 fail of the line, besides frigates,
were preparing for sea. Ad. G. had
only 20 fail of the line with him. Re
inforcements were on their way, and
Ld. Bridport was ordered to join him.
On the 21st of February the Minis
ters of Spain, Prussia, the Cifalpine, Ba
tavian, & Leguirian Republics, Baden,
and the Commercial Agents of Sweden
and Denmark were introduced to the
Consul Buonaparte, and delivered their
letters of credence. The Probability
of hostilities between Russia and Prus
sia, is slightly spoken of. The expedi
tion preparing in England is supposed
to be defined for the Mediterranean.
The Moniteur (Par is Paper) of March
2, contains an official notification that
Suwarrow and his army are actually
on their return to their own country.
The Clef du Cabinet, asserts that I 5,000
picked Ruffian Troops are to be em
barked for Great-Britain.
Capt. Knapp, arrived at New-York
from Exuma, informs, that the Boflon
frigate has captured 9 of Rigaud's bar
ges, and made 400 prisoners thereby.
We have information by the way of
Philadelphia and Salem, that the Span
ish Government has declared Gibraltar
in a state of blockade. This declara
tion was probably produced, by that
of Lord Keith refpeding Cadiz, but as
this is said to be unauthorifed by the
British Government, we may expert
Spain will soon revoke her order.
FROM FRANCE—Direst.
By the cartel brig Benjamin and Nancy,
Capt. Williams, in 66 days from Bourdeaux,
we have received files of French papers, and
letters, to the 18th February.
The papers contain but few articles which
have not been anticipated in the London ga
zettes. —The Paris Editors have vied with the
English in eulogizing the character and ser
vices of our Washington.— The order of tbe
Chief Consul of France, bus been universally obeyed;
and tbe Americans in every part of France have a
greed to wear badges of mourning for 42 days. The
adminfration of Buonaparte, appears to give uni
versal fatisfaaion. So far it bar been energetic and
humane, liberal and politic.
Oar letters from Bourdeaux,(lßth February) men -
tion, that tbe Envoys were hourly expected there,
from Spain ; nohere " they would be received with
open arms, and with that degree of Jincerity to be
expelled from a people acknowledging their pas er
rors and injustice."
In tbe " Publicise," of February Bth, we ob
serve tbe following article :—" Tbefrft Conf,lhas
ordered tbe Minister of tbe Interior, to ereA in tbe
great gallery of tbe Tbuilleries, tbe statues of
Demfbenes, Alexander, Hannibal, Scipio, Brutus,
Cicero, Cato, Cesar, Gustavus Adolphus, Turenne,
Conde, Duguae, Trouin, Marlborough, Eugene,
Saxe, WASHINGTON, Frederick 111. Mira
beau, Dugommier, Dampierre, Marceau, W 'Jou
bert."
From tbe MEDITERRANEAN.
Capt. Freeman arrived here fihce
our last, from the Mediterranean, re
ports, that at Leghorn he saw a letter
from the U. S. Consul at Tunis, which
Hated, that the Bey had been perfectly
fatisfied on the fubjed of some difficul
ties which have retarded the stipulations
of the treaty with him ; and that confi
dence between tbe parties was restored.
We also learn, that Lord Nelson, who
had joined the besiegers before Malta,
had loft a 74 gun ship, which was funk
by the batteries ; and that about the
fame time he had replaced her by the
capture of a French 74, from Toulon,
for Malta, with troops and supplies on
board. At Gibraltar, Capt. Freeman
learnt, that Mr. Williams, the United
States Consul at London, had acquaint
ed the American Consul at Gibraltar
that' Lord Keith's proclamation for
putting Cadiz, and the other Spanish
ports in a state of blockade, was unau
thorized by the British government; and
requeued him to give every informa
tion of American vessels detained, or
diverted from their voyages, in conse
quence.
The Hon. Christopher Gore, one of
the Commissioners of tbe U. S. for fettling Ameri
can claims under tbe British treaty, arrived at
New-York, on Wednesday last, in tbe Arabella
packet, from England ; and proceeded to Pbi
todelpbia.
Mr, Cabot, Agent of Claimants, arrived
with Mr, Gore in the packet and came to
1 th,s town on Monday last.

SATURDAY, MAY 3, 1800.\
Capt. Sparhaewk's Company.
On Monday last, this elegant company made|
its appearance for the firft time this fcafon.—i
The preciseness of their march, exa&nefs of j
discipline, adroitness of manoeuvre, and excel
lence of firing, commanded the voluntary ap
plauses of numerous fpe&acors. It is to be re
gretted that this company is not as yet com- ।
pletely filled up. We have many young gen- (
tiemen who are attached to no regular corps, and t
consequently do duty with the militia.' A|
handsome appearance, neat regimentals, and
the finifhed state of Prullian tadics, all of which
excellencies belong to capt. Sparhawk's Light
Infantry, furnifh more than common induce
ment to join this body of troops. We hope to I t
fee the ranks more than full on the next parade 1 <
day. The boys in Philadelphia to the amount ' 1
of 1000 are forming into regular eftablifhnients, | t
and iurely, our young gentlemen of taste, will 1
not v^ue a few dollars, to out Shine the Pennfyl- 1
vania fads. <
Capt. Long's Artillery.'
On Thursday last, the company of Artillery,
commanded by Edward J, Long Esq. made fheir
firft public appearance for this season. This is
a fine corps; excellently Officered; and under the ;
belt possible system of field exercise Their .
manoeuvres afforded general fatisfa&ion to th^ir
fellow citizens. These are the soldiers to be
depended upon in times of danger. The fafety '
of a Republic is secured by military spirit; we
wish to fee it increase ; and cannot help ex- 1
pressing a hope, that the common militia will
be emulous to imitate uniform companies, in
neatness of appearance and exadnefs of difei-j
pline. Capt. Long has proved that the atten-'
tive and accomplished Officer, can change thel
citizen into a soldier, almost in a moment. —1
This company rose instantaneously ; pressed to
the firft rank of military fame, and is puffing
beyond common praise.

Beware of altered Bank Bills.
Several counterfeit Bills tof ten and twenty
Dollars of the Newbury, Gloucester, and New-'
Hampshire Banks, have been detected. The
Bills are old and rather defaced, and the word
two cut out, and twenty put in, in lieu thereof.
They appear to have been all altered by one
hand. It would not be amiss for our country
friends to examine whatbills they have by them, 1
that they received for their produce the last
winter. ^Better things were expected from
the person deteded in passing them !!
A New-York paper, fays,
On Tuefday evening, 15th ult.—a man, who
called himfelf Oliver Hall, and a native of Con
nedicut, was arrested and taken to Bridewell,
for passing counterfeit Manhattan bank notes ;
they were altered from one dollar to one hun- 1
dred dollars, and from two dollars to twenty.
Mr. Underbill, in Pearl-Jireet, received one of tbe
hundred dollar notes, Mrs. White, in Waterfreel,
another bill, Mr. Taylor, in Pearl-frect, one of
twenty dollars.
COMMUNICATIO N.
It is said by some, that the beautiful rows
of trees which have been broken off at their
tops, and ruined for this year's growth, arc thus
wantonly destroyed from political pique ? pray,l
what good purpose can such conduft answer ?
will it make friends to government ? does it
fliew a love of order, harmony, beauty? are not
those trees of equal benefit to all parties ? what
has federalifni to do with a poplar or elm ? It is
to be regretted that the town can meditate no
ornament of this nature ; nor private gentle
- men design benefit or pleasure, but that both
must be fruftrated, of their laudable intentions.
The perpetrators of these dark deeds are partly
known. They have been traced ; a severe watch
will be kept ; and if they receive a mulket ball, (
as their reward, they must blame themselves.
The property of individuals and the good of the 1
town, is not to be ddftroj ed nor defeated, by
any rash, inconsiderate high bucks, however 1
refpe&able in name or character. Deeds of
this kind are a disgrace to a civilized state or
society. The Hottentot would blnlh at them.
On Sunday morning last, departed this transi
tory life, Mrs. LYDIA SHAPLEY, aged 48,
tbe virtuous consort of Mr. Reuben Shapley,
merchant of this town; and on Thursday her re
mains were interred with every mark of pri
vate and public refped.—The solemn service of
the dead being performed in the Episcopal
Church, by the Rev, Mr. Willard, and the
body deposited in the aisle, attended by as large
a concourse of relations, friends and acquaint
ance, as ever was fecn in this town, at a fe
male funeral.
Mrs. Shapley was a crown of glory to
her husband ; his heart always trusted fafely
in her. As the mother of an only daughter,
who firtvives to lament an irreparable iofs,
Mrs. Shapley was peculiarly fond, affec
tionate, and tender; while her excellent judg
ment removed her from that maternal weak
ness, which injures the object of its cares.—
As a friend, sincerity, fervent attachment and
indissoluble love marked her character. The
poor rife up and call the departed blessed.
Many fatherlefs and orphans have loft more
than a parent. Her charities were extensive
as her fortune was affluent, and while many
have done virtuously in beneficent deeds, Ihe
excelled them all.
