Tbe TREATr..
JUNE 27.
The Ratification of the Treaty of
Amity, Commerce, and Navigation,
between the United States, and his Bri
„^ tannic Majeftr, (by the Senate) must be
; a source of pleating sensations, and a
caufeof mutual congratulation, tp all
sincere lovers of their country,,
The feeds of detention which had
been so plentifully sown, are now re
moved, and instead of irritations, feuds
%d divisions, there appears a profpea
of harmony, conciliation, and good
will. Their mutual differences, ob
jeds of perpetual recrimination, are
now placed in a train of amicable ad
justment. .
' The Weftern Posts are to be ceded in
' a fhortperiod ;,nd till the waters, lakes,
and rivers, of the interior country, are
tor the purposes of commerce, freely to
be navigated by both parties. This
will open an unbounded field for com
merdial enteiprize, in the iqtercourfe'
'with the Spaniards and the purfurt of
the fur trade. ..d^^
The demands for debts withheld from
'the Britiffi creditor, by the interpofi.
tion of legal impediments, which bar
their recovery, and the claims of the
American merchants, for captures and
fpbliations, are to be arranged by an
appeal to an unprejudiced tribunal, con
stituted ofcommifiioners to be mutually
appointed by both parties, ^
The Eafl India trade, which will
-afford such a valuable employment for
owr large commercial ppitiQ P^c©|
on the most favored footing, by having
a free admission into the ports of all the
British factories, on the fame terms;
(with refpeß to exports and imports) as
are enjoyed by British Vessels.
Theoperation of the Article which
concedes the intercourse with the Bri
tish Weft India Islands, under certain
reftridions, is suspended until a friend
ly negociation can be entered into,
which will corr^a an error, which it
appears has inadvertently been introdu
ce! -,„
These are some of the most prominent
features of the treaty, of which we will
endeavour to procure an abfarad, to
lay before our readers—as it appears
that the Senate wifely determined that
no publication thereof should be made
until the ratifications were mutually
exchanged.„
It must be highly gratifying to the
friends ofthe French Nation, to be
informed, that no article of this treaty
clashes in the smallest degree with tire
obligations arid engagements contrast
ed with that gallant nation —Every
cause of offence as colliffion, seems to
have been fludioufly avoided in the
progress of the negotiation.
From the AURORA.
The following States voted unanimously is
its favor :— - '
Massachusetts, Population, 475,327
Rhode-Inland, 68,825
Conneaicut, 237,946
New-Jerfey,lß4,l39
Pennsylvania, 434,373
Delaware, 59> 0 94
Maryland, 3>9,7*8
Total of population for the treaty 1,779,324
The following States voted ananimoufly
against the ratification.
North-Carolina; Population, 393,751
Virginia, -747,6x0
Total of population against the 1
Treaty, 1,141,361
Upon this it is obvious that & remote Re
presentatives of a majority only of the people;
have by adopting secrecy kt that proceedings,
paged an a& more binding that, the confu
tation, and more influential th^n any law.
Such is the effe& of" the glorious system of
checks and balances."
g^rThe writer of the above; tith his ufa
itregard to truth and decency, chooses to for
get, that of the above boaftd numbers
in Virginia and Nor4h=Carolina,^bfri99 are
Slaves—and that those two legged animals,
who are held in no higher political estima
tion th^t black cattle, are thus placed in com
petition with theFieemcno f Maflichufett#, in
this computation of the relative,population of
(be several States. The truth, i, Massachu
setts and Pennsylvania, two only of the said
Stites whith voted unanimously for the
Treaty, contain 885,499 Freemen ; where as
the.only two Stites unanimously againH it,
contain but 7^8,162 freemen : The above
balance; added to the Freemeri of the other
five approving -States, give a majority in
favor ofthe Treaty of 2,626,103 Freemen,
to 748,16 g!
More than two thirds of the free popula
tion of the States which were unanimous in
the vote, belong to the ratifying States , and
it should be renumbered that the allowance
for fl^veain the population of a State, extends
to Representatives, not to Senators. Faffs are
Stubborn thingsl Cent.

FRANKFORT, APrilL 9.
The official report ofthe aftion whicli
took place on the 6th, before Mentz,
aftates that the French had commenced
works at the diftange of 500 paces from
the redoubt No. 1, at Hartengerg; it
was resolved to make an attempt to drive
them from them, and to destroy the
works which th, y had begun. This re
solution was attended with success.
The French, however; having received
reinforcements, returned to the charge,
and retook the post. They were afe
cond time repulsed, after an qbftinate
action. Some officers were wounded,
among these is the Marquis de Chate
lair, the Celebrated engineer. At night,
Gen. Neu, reconnoitered in the envi
rons of Hartenberg.
MADRID, APRIL 14.
A letter has been received from D.
Joseph Jordon, commander of nis Ma
jesty's ship the Mountain, stating, that

c.uifing five leagues S. E. of Cape St.
Sebastian, hedifcovered at some distance
ten large ffiips, which he conjeftured
were English; brit on his making the
proper fignals,jnd hot being answered

• ged to haul his wind, difeovering them
tobe a squadron ofthe enemy, consist
ing ofeight fail of the line, one a three
decker, and two frigates all of which
hoisted the French national flag, and
pursuing him, ne &as forced to take
fheltef under the guns of St. Felix de
; Guixell, by the help of which they had
kept the enemy off. And by a com
mander of a small Spanish vessel, which
had been taken, but released by this
squadron, it appears that they have been
32 damson their passage from Brest, to
join the Toulon squadron.
On the arrival of the above news,
-orders wefe sent to Don Juan Langara,

squadron of 16 (hips of the line and 8

LONDON, APRIL 28.
' The order in Council, prohibiting
artificers, artisans, &c. embarking for
America, is no new thing : There waa
a similar order in the reign of Charles
the firft ; and it is a little remarkable,
that Oliver Cromwell, was embarked
on board a vessel, and on the point of
failing to fettle in Philadelphia, but
forced to quit the vettel A and return
ashore to Portsmouth, by an order figii
ed by that very monarch, in the mur
. ther of whom he was afterwards the
principal instrument.
DUBLIN, APRIL 16.

The President of the United States has ap
proved of the treaty, with the modifications
of the Senate.
The situation of the treaty is this, the Pre
sident of the United States, and TWENTY
Senators have approved of it, with the mo
dification of one article—TEN Senators have
disapproved of it, in toto. In whom are we to
suppose the greatest quantum of knowledge
and integrity is to be found, in the twenty-one,
or the ten.
According to the customs and uCages of na
tions, a treaty does not become the Supreme
Law of the land, until the ratifications by the
contracting parties are exchanged.
