he fell into the hands of the Bxinih,
who were then in possession of that
port—from thence he was carried to
Sr. Pierre'i, where he feffered the
common fate. They, learnt at St.
Pierre's, that it was one article in the
bargain between the government and
the commanders of the expedition,
previous to their coming our, that
they (hould be entitled to the proceeds
of all the vessels they could make
prizes of, and to all the plunder of the
islands they might reduce ;—Of this
there can be no doubt, as the fate of
our vessels being fore-ordained, they
were all fold at vendue a fortnight be
fore they were declared condemned
by the Court : The legal procefa
when it took place, was so simple,
that the whole number (upwards of
40) were condemned in a few minutes.
The Judge, we underhand, was al
lowed by Admiral Jervis 121. for each
▼effel he condemned, over and above
his ordinary fees and perquisites.
Every person who arrives from St.
Pierre's, relates with hortour the cru
elty of the British, in forcing from
their houses and connexions upwards
of 40 women of the firft families in
the place— They were torn away,
without being permitted to take any
clothes or other conveniencies with
them—Their friends followed them
, With bundles of clothing, &c. which
„ they were not allowed to receive— It
was at the close of the day—they were
hurried into boats, and have not since
been heard of,— — A gentleman who
. had two beautiful daughters thus rav
ished from him, sent a boat to differ
ent parts of the inland, and to other
islands, in quest of them—but in vain
—and he finally fat down with the
heart-cutting persuasion, that they
were devoted victims to British lust
and brutality. Such is the war which
the British carry on,in the prostituted
names of ttaraity and religion.
It appears that the appropriations
for national purposes, the present year,
exceed those of any former year, by
upwards of two millions of dollars—
occafioned by the building of frigates,
fortifying the harbours, building arse
nals and purchasing military ftorei,
foreign intercourse, and corps of artil
lerifts and engineers.

' SIR,
THE Senate and House of Reprefentatives'

that in compliance with the fuffrages of the
citizens of this State, yotir Excellency has
accepted the office of firft Magistrate—They
anticipate with great pleasure the benefits
that will rrfult to the people from your ad
miniftration—lmportant benefits,, our well
known abilities and intimate knowledge of
the affairs of the State, they are persuaded
will ensure them.
The situation of our common country will
' require our strongest attention, and the Sen.
ate and House of Representatives will readily
concur in any measure that may be thought
necessary to give efficiency to the t^quifition
of the President of the "United States, in pur
suance to a law of Congrefi for part of the
Militia of Newhampfhire. They view, with
anxiety, the danger of hostilities, with indig
nation. the depreciations of some of the pow
ers now at war on the citizens of the United
States,' End are convinced of rife necessity of
the co-operation of every friend to hiscoun
try, in preparing for its complete defence
against every attack ; but they still hope the
ravages of war wiH not so soon be again felt
by our rising arid prosperous nation.
The Republican Constitution, the habits
and the inclination of the people lead to the
cultivation of the arts of peace ; yet even the
calamities of war would be preferred to peace
with the facrifice of their honour.
Aprovifion for the difeharge of the State
debts, will be one of the firft objeds of Leg
islative attention ; the ample resources in
the command of the State—the continual
loss, by the accumulation of debts, are, with
the obligation to do justice to the creditors,
the strongest motives for engaging in this
important bofinefs. The settlement of the
Tre^urer's accounts ; the disposal of notes,
certificates and other papers in the Treasury,
will meeftheir enquiry and attention. And
the Legislature will with cheerfulnefs join
you'r Excellency with their endeavours, in
the ftatipn the Constitution has assigned
them ? in promoting the social virtues, the
welfare of our country, the true interest of the
people, and in prayers to that Being who has
the hearts of all men in his hands, for the

' 'PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 9.
Capt. Ojmoh in tbefhip Harmon, , arrived here
yeflerda, from Bourdeaux, which be left the 2ptb ,
April, informs, that great naval preparations
were making in the ports of the Republick, for an
expedition which was fudio&fy 'kept a secret ;
that its affairs in general appeared to be in a very
prosperous train ;' but bad heard nothing material
ref,effing the operations of the armies. The peo
ple as one approved the execution of Danton and bis
officiates. The embargo at Bourdeaux was rais
ed about the 18th, and a further indemnification
granted. Capt. Ofmon left it in company with
J 3 other merchantmen, under the convoy of three
French armed vessels. ^
June it. It is said, that our executive is
in possession of a copy of a talk lately deliver
ed by Col. Simcoe to the Indians; breathing
sentiments diametrically opposite to those ex
pressed in Lord Dorchester's late talk, and
intended to do away the impressions made by
it. If this report is founded, the intelligence
is agreeable & important,as it presages peace.
NEW york, JUNE 13. Ahiter from Jamaica,
poflively averts, that the depredatory measures
pursued by the Britifo Court, towards the Ameri
can vessels, were dilated b, abfelute necessity, to
injure the capture of the French islands ; and that
there is fcarcel, a man in the islands who is not
convinced that ample refitutioh quill be granted,
when demanded.
It is hoped, the American merchants will for
ward the necfury documents of the value of their
losses, that should any delay take place in the in
demnity to be demanded of the British Court, that
it may not ref with them. They ought immedi
ately to be in the Secretary of State's office.
boston, ;une 13. The recapture of Va
lenciennes & Conde by the French, is again
reported. It is not authen ic. Nevertbelefs
an attack on one or both these places may be
expected —the French army being in their vi
cinity to force, and the head quarters of the
Austrian army was at Valenciepues, at the
date,fQUr accounts. —The situation of Prus
sia still uncertain. His army was not divided
: at the date of our last accounts.——No prof
pe&of Peace, this year, presents.
Gov. Simcoe, returned.
Agentleman lately arrived here,from the South
ward, informs us, that Simcoe (Governor of Up
per Canada) has returned back with bis troops
from the territory of the United States to Detroit—
and that he, in a talk with the Indians, figured
them, that there would, be no war between the
Americans and Greatbritaita, arid told them they
surf riot treat the Americans ill. '-
The inhabitants of Lower Canada, are called
upon,fa the Quebec papers, to be on their guard
against the hostile intentions of the Fermonteers—
who, the, affirm; bold the language of attacking
and plunderrag that Province. It appears by this,
that the fabricators of intelligence calculated only
to excite alarms are not confined to the U. States.

that fliall prevent them or their owners mak
