copied verbatim from 'the celebrated
M. MaMmont±l's Belisarius.
From the translators preface.
" Here we fee represented in a mod
striking manner, the causes and rea
sons which occasioned the downfall of
a great Empire". „ „ , .
'Speaking of a Prince who had been
raised to power by base unworthy means
Mr. M. Marmontel thus emphatically
depidures his unhappy Situation. "But
let his heart tremble within him, if he
ever ceases to pamper the pride or con
trol the licentiousness of his detested
party. While they serve him they chain
him to themselves by his feays ; and for
the obedience they pay their captive
King, they demand in return, impuni
ty for their crimes. Being thus grown
the oppreifor of one part of his fubjeds
he is a slave to the other ; as mean and
abjeft to the bad, as fierce and domi
neering to the good. Constrained to
manage with his accomplices he is o
bliged to study how to gratify them,
that the passions which lifted on his fide
' may not revolt from him; for he knows
their fierce and dangerous quality,fince
they have already marked their way
with ruin, and broken asunder all the
ties of nature and humanity.
"The tyger trained to the chafe,
and educated by man to the (kill of
devouring, will fly at his matter, if a
sare of the prey be withheld from him.
The tyrants compact with his favors
.of mifchief is precisely- the fame. The
Supreme power, therefore, as it ap
pro ches to tyranny, becomes feeble in
proportion, and depends for support
upon the men who have leagued them
ftlves agaihft the Constitution. It must
therefore, be ever attentive to the tools
of party, left they should make a de-
Section tp thf intefeft of their country.
Every mark of, compliance, refped,
and the most fertile toleration mutt be
paid to them to the utter fubyerfion of
justice, and the neglect of all found
policy — 83.3, «By these means the
Prince lives at variance jvith his fub
jeds; his party is formed, and ambitipn
with a train.of.inordinate desires stalks
at the head of ft, r This Hydra of fac
tion is ever insatiable, and, yet ugcan
ftimtionalmeans must be tried to fatif

On the 31st inst. the brig Mars, Clemmons
from Salem, for India, was wrecked near Cape
forchu, Bay of Funday. People saved and some
property. She failed from Salem the day previ
ous—Brig Eagle, Morrill, from Portland for the
Weil-Indies, 3 days out, was wrecked near Cape
Sable early in January. People saved Veffcl and
Corgo loft. Pieces of iheathing,painted green, a
little worm eaten,appearing to have been lately
broken off, came on shore at Cape-Cod in the
late storms. It is said a veffcl was seen in Boston
* bay bottom up, with a small boat near.
'. . Nroto, March 17. By captain Latham,
1 who arrived yesterday, in ten days from Savan
nah, we are informed, that on the Bth inst. he
fell in with the fbip Butler, capt. Woodbury, of
Portland, in distress, and took off the remainder
of her crew, confining of the captain, mate and
four men, who gave him the following account
—That an the lift Februar) last, they left the
Havannah, with 400 hhds. molasses, bound to
Boston; on the sth of March it was dife,vered
the made water so fall, as to give cause for the
mod serious apprehensions. They went to work
to attempt to clear her, but, the water dill in
- ereafed, and they found it impracticable.—-They
then sawed as many of their molasses hogsheads
as they could get at, and ftoVe others, in hopes
in this way to lighten her, but the leak gained
so faft, thai on. the 6th they concluded to take to
the boat, confiding of the captain, mate, and
weight hands, but in attempting to go from
alongside, the boat upfat, and four of the hands
-were drowned ; the rest fayed themselves by
catchingrhold :of the rigging and" getting on
board their finking ihip again. On the $h
they were taken up by Cipt. Latham, as related.
When they parted frith the lhip she had 11 feet
-water in her bold, and it is conjectured must
have fenk in the course of the day. -Captain
Woodbury had his trunk in the boat with 500
dollars when she upset, which he log, with all
his eloathes, and the fame misfortune befel the
rest of his crew.

; ; LONDON, JAN. 10.
"On the Bth inft'. Mr. King on the parrof
our Government, ihd Lord '-Hawkefbary on
that of the tiritiffi, concluded a convention; tty
which the long cxiftink difficulties under the 6th
article of the Treaty of Amity,&c. are entirely
fettled, and adjuffed ; and the Board, under the
7th, whose proceedings have beei ifufpended,
merely by these caules, is immediately to resume
its functions, which remain the fame as describ
ed in that article, excepting as to time of pay
ment of the awards. Thefe/inftead of being
payable at the periods the Commissioner, ffiall
(tired, are to be in three equal instalments, an
nually, reckoning from the date of exchange of
the ratification of this convention. I cannotj
avoid expressing my hope and belief, that, from
the length to which this business has been pro-j
fraaed, rilane of the claimants will fuffer from 1
want of the necessary documents, and evidence ;
to fcpport theiriclaiqio,,..
FRENCH SPOLIATIONS. J
The cause of the fufferers by the French
has been rejected in Congress. The ground
on which the applications for indemnity are
made to our government is, that their
claims on tb^ French have been bartered by
treaty for a valuable corfideration, viz* .our
guaranty of the French [Vefclndhft which
Was calculated to enthral us in calamitous
wars, in which we could otherwise have
not the leaf interest. On the 12th inst. Mr.
Griswold called up a motion, which he bad
laid on the table, for declaring the principle,
" That it is proper to make provision by
law towards indemnifying the merchants
of the United States, for losses fujiained by
them from French Spoliations, the claims
for which losses have been renounced by the
final ratifications ofiphe convention with
Frances as published by proclamation of the
Prefdent of. the United States." ~ The
Minifterialifls, unable to offer a Jingle ar
gument in oppoftion to so equitable a claim,
gave a silent vote in the negatives The
Tea^were 49— the Nays 33. And thus
the bijinefs is put into a quiet sleep, , ;
BRITISH RESTITUTION:.,

and coffee at Guadeloupe, and failed
for Copenhagen in March 1794 ;' was
Ihortly after taken and carried into St.

pril following; oh the principle that a
trade not permitted torieutrals in peace
was illegal in war.' The owner of the
Good Intent has just received a letter
from London, with the following agree
able intelligence refpedihg this case :=
“ Ihave the pleasure to inform you,
that the Court of Appedls has decreed
restitution of the Good Intent, on pay
irtg the captors' costs ;' but this, I im
agme; Would have been fruitlefs unless

• The Portsmouth Qracle (March 20) state,

Oilman than Lapgdon. Another Porrfmoutb

federal arid jacobin arithmetic !—The sum is yet
to be proved;
The above is not to be paged over in Ji
