From the Salem Gazette of Taefday iaft.
Advices from France.
On Sunday :wo gentlemen,
. Messrs. Hopkini and Lee, arrived
at Marblehead from France, and
yesterday proceeded on their route
to Philadelphia, having Difpatchea
from the American Envoys They
were io a vessel from Bourdeauz
bound to the fouchward; but
meeting with a Marblehead fifh
erman, they went on board her,
io expectation of arriving sooner
at the feat of government. These
gentlemen dined and fopped with
the Envoys on the igth of March,
who informed them chat there was
not the least hope of effecting an
accommodation, that the Diredory
would.not relax in their demands,
and that they were determined to
feave Fiance immediately. They
may therefore fhoitl, be expect
ed in America. Mr. Pinckney
and Mr. Marshal had been treated
very cavalierly white in Paris § the
Directory pretending, that the
fending of them was an iotalc, be
citify the sass had been once re
jeded, and the other was known:
to beJo the Ebglilh iotereft , but
Mr. Gerry (who they fay was ferit
merely to make the others accept
able) had been treated with more
civility. At the fame time the or
cnoft. harmony had subsisted be
tween all titty, and they had aft
ed peffedl, together in every
These groderhen ferihefrinferrt),
that the new elections in France,
were gei g 00 while they were on
their way from Paris to Bour
deaux ; and, that these might not
issue io a manner contrary to the
views of the Directory, a general
imprifoomeot took place at once,
of all who were supposed to be
unfriendly to them.
They further fay, that there is
no doubt that the people are hear
tily sick of the war and of the gov
ernment ; but that the Directory
cootroul every thing by the im
mense military force which they
have accumulated, and which
they ffioft punduelly and liberally
maintain from any ample treasury.
The preparations for the iova
fion of England, they fay, are be
yond all conceptiooj and wear a
most fericus alped. The army
destined to this expedition was (up
poled to confix of 150,000 men,
or more ; and ic was said they
would proceed in federal dibifioot,
and to different points, reckoning,
upon the calculation of chances,
that if one failed, another might
succeed. Buonaparte, at we hve
so often heard, was co be the com^
mender in chief.

From boston, june 6.
Accounts from Ireland are as .
much at variance, as truth with
fallhood. Notwithstanding all the
horrid narratives we fee in the En
glish and Southern papers of mur
ders, incendiaries, and iofurreaion;
an arrival at this port, direct from
Belfaft, which is the revolutionary
centre of the kingdom, announces
an intire tranquility ; and that
Should the French invade the i-
Shod, they would catch tea Iri/b
bugs, for one ft&taual embrace.
The British troops have evacu
ated Port-au-Prince, PArchaye,
and St. Marks ; and the French
have taken possession of them —Q.
The fleet which brought off the
troops and inhabitants, has arrived
at the Mote and at Jamaica.
We hear, that a letter received
lift evening from Philadelphia,
mentions, that the Prefidenc of the.
United States had refuted co ac
credit the new French Cooful Gen
eral, Dupor t. Good— if true.
FROM CHARLESTON, MAY $.
On Tuefday Lft, 14 or 15 men, be
longing to a French privateer, landed on
Edifto island, and went to the planta
tion of a Mrs. Clark, from whom they
took several pair of fowls, a pair of tur
keys, a pair of geese, a lamb, and some
eggs, for which they paid ten dollars.—
The militia of the island were that day
at their monthly muster at some distance,
and did not return until the, had de
parted.^—Their condud was not very ci
vil, as they infilled upon having the ar
ticfes, and were ndt inclined to pay until
Mrs. Qlark mfifydtyu it, when they left
her the abovementioned sum. It was
understood from these men, that there
were three privateers them on that coast.
