On Saturday passports were
sent off by the Commission
ers for French prisoners, for
a French agent to come to
this country, to superintend
and have charge of the pro-
Vifijning the French prison
ers. It is now agreed upon
between rhe two countries,
that the prisoners of each
IhalL be maintained at the
foil of thejr refpeaive coun
tries, the markets of both be
ing open to the agent resid
ing therein. —The prisoners
in both are likewise to be
kept in two or three places
of general rendezvous, in
place of being fcatered over
the country as heretofore.---
This country will save near

A Melancholy FaH.
nYi gentleman, just arrived
from the Sufquehanoah, we
^informed, that on Saturday
the loth instant, some malicious
perfuns wilfully set fire to and
burnt a house near the canal,
whrein were fix persons, all of
whern were consumed. The par
ticulact, at far at we can under
stand, are, that some people be
longing to the canal lodged with
the people of the house who disa
greed, and the patty of the house
having proved to strong for the
others, they went off; but return
fag some time after with several
other#, Entered the house by vio
lence, killed two children, and
threw them behind the fire , then
fatteningthe others in, set fire to
the house and burnt it, wih alf its
Oto. The above gentleman
further adds, that he saw the body
Os 6*e person, not wholly con
sumed, and that five of the perpe
tra on of thia villainous deed were
taken, and are in confinement. ^1

Late from England.
Last evening arrived here the Ihip Pol
ly, Capt Chipmao, from Liverpool; as
ter a passage of 44 days. The )ateft '
London papers we have been able to
procure, are down to Jan. Sth ; but they
furnifh nothing extraordinary. The de
bates in the British Parliament, on the
offfid taxfl, are very lengthy and spirit
ed ; but the bill Which contemplates a
triplication of the customary assessed tax
es, passed by a majority of 125— Ayes
196. Noes 71.
The information of the late
decree of the French govern
ment refpeaing Englilh man
ufactures, had been received ;
and had excited much agita
tion. The result was to be
expected --Convoys are to be
granted to neutral veffcls.
The Pacific Congress ar Ra
fladt, has determined that the
King of England shall relin
quish all his possessions in
Germany, and with his Elec
torate (Hanover) all his in
fluence in the German Em
pire.
An augmentation of. the
British army has been made ;
and the navy daily increases
in number and firength.----
The ships of war, in com mis
sion, on the Ift Jan. 1798,
amounted to 130 la I of the
fine, 18 fifty gun ihips, 165
frigates, and 266 sloops of
war. Total in and out of

In the House of Reprefemtives of the
United States Feb. 23, the report of the
committee of privileges, which had re

Griswold and Lyon, was taken up. Mr.
Sitgreaves moved the postponement of
it to March 1799—which was negatived,

agreeing to the report ofthe committee,
puffed in the affirmative, Yeas 73— Nays

A letter from a refpeaa

fay%" Our privateers have^
long carried on a predatory
war against the United States. :
About sixty are now arming
here, who calculate with con
fidence on enriching them
selves at the expense of Ame
ricans. Coffin is still the
prime mover of all these a
gencies. The calling is cer
tainly profitable. Nothing is
rcfp&ed. They take all with

the whole as legal prizes. In
