NEW-YORK, FEB.. 4#
A letter from Constantinople,
dated the ift of O&ober informs'
us, that the confidence of the
Sublime Porte in the French Re
public, increases daily; in conse
quence of our fuprifing victories—
The French have given a cbncett
at the National House, commem
orating the defeat of the combined
armies \ it the firft discharge. of
cannon, the French citizens riling
in a body, chaunted the sacred
Hymn of Liberty, -The con
cert then commenced and ended
With Republican toasts.
At Smyrna, a similar feaft was
celebrated with equal fraternity.
and others not far on their return
home, the President may possibly
be enabled ahd Induced to call
them together’at an earlier period
than that fixed on, under the un
certainty of its timely reception.
, Last Friday at 3 o’clock A. Mt
a severe N. E. storm of snow, hail
and rain came on, which lasted
till 3 o’clock P. M. and did
conhderable damage to ? the (hip
ping Jn the harbor, and wharves
&c. We have not beeen able to
learn what damage has been fuf
gained by it in our Eastern ports,
but we fear it has been cohfider
able—ln Marblehead it is faidthat
upwards of $6 fail of veflels were
funk, drove affiore, or much dam
aged.—-The damage done by this
Ihort, though violent storm, is ef
cimatod at ten thousand dollars.
BOSTON, MARCH 18.
Probable Capture of Amster
dam 1
The intelligence in circulation
of the captureof AMSTERD AM
by the French^ amounts only to a
probability. This information is
by the way of New-York, where
the Brig Lydia, Capt. Shacker-
Ly, has arrived from Amftefdam,
in 57 days. Though some of the
New York paper? announced its
positive capture, later papers give
only the following account; which
is confirmed by letters received in
this town,ftating; that the French
army were within a short distance
bf the city ; chat all expedatibn
of resistance had been given up,
and one letter fays, ° All hopes
PEACE ARE FLED.”
OBSERVATION.
Our political readers can best Judge of
the cabfee that have changed the face of
affairs in Holland. Our last accounts in
dicated a fe par ate Peace between her and
France, ^hd Commiflioners were actually
lent to Paris, to negotiate, it. Whether
the jJeinands of the one or the other were
too high ; or whether the French, after L
gfeeing on a. winter’s campaign, meant to
be beforehand with their enemies, and
therefore broke off the negotiation, to ftrijce
a great blow before their enemies could
be iriihe field, are drcumßanees which
our readers can judge of, as we can.
WE were last evening favoured
by an obliging friend, with New-
York papers to Friday last. We
hasten to give the following
SUMMARY.
THE Meflenger with the
TREAYT from England, arriv
ed at Philadelphia, on Saturday

STORM.
The flagrant deviations from
the Neutrality enjoined by the
laws of the United States, and the
Prefldent’s Proclamation, permit
ted in South-Cranlina, we are hap
py to learn are checked by the
pleasant patriotic and tederalGov
ernpr or that State. Condemna
tion of prizes are forbid—though
flicker is allowed both for the pri
vateers and prizes, agreeably to
treaty. Several prizes have lately
i been carried into Charton.
five days, only, latter than .those
received here three weeks since...
They contain cbpioUs debates
of the Engfilh Parliament, which
have not been published here. ,
. They confirm the account of
the French having palled the riv
ers Waal and Meuse, on the ice,
of having attacked and driven', in
the out polls—and were advancing
(Dec. 29.) rapidly into rhe prov
ince of Holland, having taken
Bommel, and were advancing a
gainst Gorcum. A London pa
per of Jan. 8, the latest,, fays,—
“ The fate of Holland has proba
bly been decided by this time, as
it was determined by Gen. Wal
moden, who commands in the ab
sence of the Duke of York, |n
concert with Gen. Harcoutr,
that a general engagement with
the French (hould be hazarded on
the last day of the old year.—The
allies are 50,006 —the French
100,000 strong;
The Diana also brought dif* ‘
patches from Mr. JAY td The
President of the United States
—Mr. Duvasse, who was charged
with them, sent them immediately
to Philadelphia by express.
In the Britifli H. of C. Mr.
Fox, thusfpeaksof the Treaty—
“ The United States has just ob
tained aVERY ADVANTAGE
OUS Treaty of Amity and Com
merce with this country—a Trea
ty, as far as he had heard of it,
justice and policy would have
dictated at any time^ but which he
feared the difficulties in which the
Ministers had involved themselves,
rather than their juflice or policy .
induced them to give.”—The
Marquis of Landsdowne, on the
fame day in the H. of L. after a
series of inveftives against the
British Ministry, said, He appro
ved of their American treaty j and
WISHED TO GOD, THEY
WOULD RETRACT THEIR
ERROR WITH FRANCE, AS
WISELY AS THEY HAD
DONE WITH OUR AMERI
CAN BRETHREN.”
A writer in one of the Jacobin
papers of Philadelphia, fays, “ It
is a serious and alarming circum
fiance that mojl of the prefies^ have
devoted themselves to the fide of goV
eminent" —as if it were a crime to
support the constituted authorities
of the country in which we live.
How often do these satellites of
Satan discover their cloven feet.
The citizen's of United America,
ought to make the watmeft returns
of gratitude to the French nation,
for the renewed demonstration of
their regard to the United States,
in the abolition of the Jacobin
clubs —and even, more portentious
of deftru&ioh, than even war and
its concomitants.
