Extract from the Journal,
JOHN BECKLEY, Clerk.
PHILADELPHIA.
April 6.
Yelterday arrived here the ship John
3ulkley, from Lilbon, which port {he left
the 24th of February—and Brig Kitty that
failed from St. Enftatius, the 20th ot
March. By these vessels we have accounts
that the queen of France was beheaded on
the twelfth of February ; that France had
declared war againit England, Spain, and
several other powers; and that a general
embargo had taken place in England on
all vessels outward bound.—An account
from Oporto to New-York, mentions war
having been declared by Portugal againit
France on the twenty-lixth of February.
A committee of the Pennsylvania house
of representatives have presented a number
of resolutions to the consideration of the
houffe, tending to the impeachment of John
Nicholfon, the comptroller general of this
commonwealth, ar.d directing the attorney
general of this Hate to inflitute a suit a
gainlt said John Nicholfon, Esq. to recover
lor the life of the commonwealth, the a
inottnc of the new loan certificates, which
have been redeemed and paid at the trea
sury of this Date. The total amount of the
new loan certificate: redeemed by the slate
at their nominal value, interest included,
amounts to 63,0-5 dollars and 37 cents,
60220 dollars of which were fubferibed in
the name, and of course appear to be the
property of John Nicholfon. The report
011 this subject was directed to be primed,
and made one of the orders of the day lor
yelterday.
M. Blanchard is making preparations for
a 46th aerial flight from this city. It is
said, the place from which he is to ascend
will be fpacions, and such as may conveni
ently accommodate at moderate prices all
rtiofe who would wilh to witness the pro
ofs of filling, ar.d ascent of the balloon.
F-ifteen per centum per annum is the a-,
verage profit on well cult ivated vine yirds.
Mr. Lf. Gaux, by a Iteady attention to
the culture of the vine in this country'for
the lalt 7 years, has ascertained, beyond all
doubt, that thac branch of liulbandry will
prove profitable among us. He has tried
several fptcies of fbreipn vines here, & lias
found atl, by certafrr variations in the mode
of culture, to produce as fine fruit, in
deed rather more fu culent, than what is
produced from the fame plants in Europe.
In conference of so high an inteiilt as
above mentioned, Mr. Le Ganx's plan
will not only prove highly beneficial to the
country at large, but profitable to those
concerned in the bulineis.
Thomas Claiborne is chosen member of
the House of Representatives of the United
States from the fttate Virginia. There is
an other dillricl from which no return is
yet received.
Mr'. Paine (in effigy) has met with every
token of contempt and hatred from the
too.s of royalty and the court, 111 several
towns of t.ngiand, particularly in Liver
pool, a place that has long been famous, or
r ither infamous for the hatred of its inha
liiL.uits to the Rights of Man, as particu
larly evidenced by its being the principal
port in England for owning and fitting out
Guinea fliips, employed in the infernal
traffic of human fitfh. —It mult be a con
folatlon to the friends of liberty, that al
tho' the i'lfeds of a corrupted court can
burn the tffigy, it is beyond their power to
burn the political principles of Mr. Paine,
which are Ipreading rapidly thro' Europe,
a id mult one day conf.'itute its uni'verfal
creed.
On the 24th of January, and inllantly
upon the news arriving ot the decapita
tion ot Louis the XVlth, M. Chauvelin,
French Aniballador at London, received
the following note from the EngliihSecre
tary of ffate.
" 1 am charged to notify to you. Sir,
that the character with which you have
been inverted at this court, and the f mixti
ons of which have been so long suspended,
being now terminated, by the fatal death
of his molt Christian Majelty, you have
no more any public character here.
The King can 110 longer, after such an
event, permit your relidcnce here. His
Majelty has thought fit to order, that you
should retire from this kingdom within the
term of eight days ; and I herewith trans
mit to you a copy of the Order, which his
Majelty, in Privy Council, has ordered to
this effe£t.
I fend you a paflport for you and your
suite ; and I shall not fail to take all the
other neceilary Heps, in order that you may
return to France, with all the attentions
which are due to the character of Minilter
Plenipotentiary from his Molt Christian
Majeitv, which you have excrcifed at this
Court."
The following is a copy of the king of En
gland's mell'age to the House of Com
mons osi the 28th of January.
"His majesty has given direffions f«r
laying before the House of Commons, to
pics of several paper* received troni M.
Chauveiin,* Jule ininiiter plenipotentiary
fropi the nio/t.cliriftiaii king, by his majes
ty's feeret.iry of Slate, and of the anfwt-rs
thereto, and a copy of an order made by
his majeily in council, transmitted to the
laid Mr. Cliauvelin in consequence of the
account of the atricocious act recently per
petrated at Paris.
In theprefent situation of affairs, his ma
jelly thinks it indispensably npccflary to
make a further augmentation Of his fort
es by lea and land, and reiiesonthe known
affection and zeal of the House of Com
mons to enable him to take the inoft effec
tual meafnres. in the present important
conjuncture, for maiiitainii g the fectiritv
and rights of his own dominions, for im -
porting his allies, and for oppoling view s of
uggrandizment and ambition on the part of
France, which would be at all times dan
gerous to the general interell of Europe,
but more peculiarly so when connected
with the propagation of principles which
lead to the violation of cl.e moil faciei!
duties, and are utterly (u.bverli i of the;
peace and order of civil societies."
The brig Ann, arriveel at Baltimore oil
the second instant, from Lilbon (which
place (lie left on the 24th of February)
brought several letters, all of which men
tion war to have been declared by France
against Great-Britain, and several other
powers that had not acknowleel&ed her in
dependence as a republic.
The members chosen in the next House
of Representatives, from South-Carolina,
are as follow: William Smith, Charleltou
diftrift. Alexander Gillon, Beaufort and
Orangeburgh, Lemuel Benton. Cheraw and
Georgetown, fUchardWinn.
Hunter, Ninety Six, Andrew Piikem,

William Goforth, Esq. of Cincinnati
(western territory) in a letter dated from,
that place, Jan. 8, gives a circumstantial
narrative of the fate of Major Trueman,
Col. Harden, and others who were sent
lall year on embaflies, and with meiTages to
certain Indian towns, relative to a treaty
of peace with the United States. This
narrative was taken from the accounts giv
en by William Smallv, who attended Ma
jor Trueman, anil returned by way of
Detroit to Columbia, in Pennsylvania, the
place of his relidence. It appears from
this narrative that major Trueman, his
waiter, and Srnally fell in with three Indi -
ans on their way to the Mauniee towns,
the two former of whom w ere treacher
ously murdered hj' the Indians while in
theircompany, andto all appearance friend
ly. It further appears that the horses, anil
the other property major Trueman had
with him, was the cause of his being mur
dered. Smally se as informed, while among
the Indians, that Mefli's. Joseph Cerrard,
Isaac Freeman, and a Mr. Lavara falfo on
an embassy to the Manmee towns] were
killed by a final! party of the favnjres five
or fix days journey from Fort Walhington.
While Mr. Smally wis at the town of
Glaize, several articles were brought in,
the property of Col. Harden and his com
panion Mr. Flinn, who had been sent 011
an embaflv to the Indian nat ons, and were
on their way to the Sandulki towns when
killed. Col. Harden had fallen in with an
Indian hunting party, when, upon confu
tation, it was agreed by them (on» excep-
kill Col. Harilen and Hnn, who
were tomahawked accordingly—The opi
nion of Mr. bmally is that the Indians are
generally for war. and that the rep'-rt
ampng them is, that at their next battle
they expect to have eight thonfand men,
rho' he queltions their being able to rai r e
more than sor 6,000. He adds, that the
Britilh are not at this time a£tive to allift
the Indians in the present war wi'h the
United Slates ; but merely fulfilling the
agreements and flipul-itions entered into
with them at the clcfe of the American
war.
[From a .Crrrejj 01 dent. ]
It is remarkable that in the prosecution
of Mr. Paine, for libellous writii gs, before
Lord Keuyon, and a special jury held at
Guildhall, in London, that the \ ice-j've
lietent of the United States is expressly
named by the Attorney General, employee!
on that infamous occasion, as the writer of
the papers that appeareci about two ye:,r3
ago in Bolton under the fignatnre of }>u bit
cola. Mr. Attorney General, on the fame
occasion, not only read several paragraphs
from that work, tending to criminate Mr
Paine, but also the contents of a letter
which "he had received from the second
person in America (Mr. Adams" " Having
had the honor of his (Mr. Adams' ac
quaintance (Taid the Attorney General)!
wrote to him relative to the prosecution
and in answer I was informed, that it w :;s.
the wish of Thomas Paine to convene the
people of Great-Britain, who had neither
government nor conjlitution, for the pur
pose of prevailing upon them to adopt a
confiitution limilar to that of France, and
to establish a government proceeding, di
rectly from the fdvereignty ol the p c < pie.
Mr. Paine had aifo called on the citizens
of America, to rally round bin l , in order
to afford aliiftafice to Great-'-'M- ;ii, in the
completion of a 1 evolution," ! ! '
