European Affairs.
The European amounts, by the
lad arrivals, are as hie as the lat
ter end of March. Ac that time
no very conspicuous events had
* occurred. Both the French and
Combined powers, were malting
preparations for renewing hoftili-"
ties the ensuing campaign. Tho’
reumours of Peace are circulated
almost every day, yet even the pre
liminaries of it do not appear,
Russia is to take an aftive part
in the war; and Sowarrow is to
cpmmand a body of Bo,oio cut
throats, to a<st again ft France.
The Ottoman Porte is arming
with alacrity, and it cannot be
z doubted willoppofe the ambitious
Catharine.
TheDutcb.patriots will upquef
tionably' join their emancipators,
the French, and' thus tend to e
qualize the number of the bellig
erent pd vers.
The fall of Barrere, and his co
adjutors, will restore harmony in
the bolom of the National Con
vention of France, who though
apparently willing to make an hon-
V* orable Peace, are Hill determined,
if ncccffiry, to Carry on the War,
with redoubted energy. The iyL
tem of terror is abolifhed—free
dom of opinion and fptech is held
sacred ; and thfe confidence of the
people to fdt on the Convention
as a rock of their salvation. -ff
In England the greatest exer
tions for equipping a formidable
navy, are making ; and it is ex
pelted, from fimdar exertions in
France and Holland, that old O
cean will bear on his bosom the
enfuing' summer, the most form’d
able force, that ever disturbed his
tranquility. From this mutual
arming, the idea of an invasion is
not To remote aS some conjeftute.
A general survey of European
politicks will confirm the opinion,
that bloody as the last year was
, marked, the ensuing wilUnOt be
less sanguine j nor the calender of
events lets numerous in brilliant
actions.
! Thank heaven, we are at peace
in America 1 May the blefllng be
long continued to us.

a new dailv paper publilhed in

The Port Mary, Capt. Kenne
dy, arrived at this port on Satur
day evening ip 40 day& from Liv

papers to March 25,which contain
very little intelligence. A Liver
pool paper of March 2^, Contains
a Corunna account of a battle in
Roufillon, which Rates that' the
French loft 1000 killed and 2000
taken prifoners,bpt the Capt. fays,
accounts at Liverpool were that
there had been a battle in which
the Spaniards were beaten, which
is most likely to be fa& 5 as at Co
runna the truth must not be told
at all times. The accounts of
peace with Pruflia and Spain do
not seem to be confirmed. Pro
visions were cheaper at Liverpool
than in this city.

As thb people of- this State are
anxious to know tht truth ref^sc-7
ing Ml Jay’s return to America,
we have taken , pains to afoertain
the fad •, which is, that Mr. Jay,
by means of the consul at Liver

ths fliips bound to New-Ybrk,
their goodness, accommodations,
&c. The consul determined on
the port M-ary, and made applica

In the French Covpention, 4th
March, Carnot announced to the
Conv^ntioDjthac the committee of
Public Safety had had a chrono,
logicartableau representing ail <he
victories gained by (he Republi
cans, from September 8, 1793, to
the 3d Feb- 1795, executed by an
able master, in order to Serve as a ,
military hiftory, and offer to all
future generations pt. Frenchmen, •
the glory of their ancestors.
। Carnot said of our fuccefles: 27
viftories., fix of which \yepe gained
in pitched battles ; 120 combats ,
of Ids importance; 80,000 ene*
mies killed and 91,000 taken
prisoners of war; 117 important
. fortrefles, 36 of which were taken .
after a dole.blockade ; 230 forts;
38.000 pieces of artillery ; 17,000
muskets; 19,000. weight of pow
der, and ga .stands of colours fell
into our hands. He proposed, and
the Convention decreed, that the
tableau fhobld be suspended in the

Captain Jufeph Lambert, who
arrived at Salem, on the morn
ing of jhe 18th inftanr, from
Fore-Royal, (Martinique) in 26

they expeded .1200 additional .
troops there from St. Manins and
Guadeloupe? when an immediate
attack would be made upon St. t
;Ktiis, which he expedrd would*
be jngofieflion in a fortnight. He
also said there were 42,000 troops

who drew rations regularly.
Capt. Lambert was also board

FEDERAL frigate.
On Saturday hft, the keel, of the Usited

from the elegance es the workmanship, and

composed, as well as that in thedock ydrd,
