Congress have palled, and the President

LA FAYETTE 24,420 dollars, being the
amount of the pay and emoluments of a
Major-General, during the time he was in
the service of the United States.—lt is
not then true (fays the Salem Gazette) that
Republicks always repay their benefaftors
with ingratitude. La Fayette, it is well
known, embarked in the cause of America
at a time when Americans themselves con
sidered it as desperate. He made liberal
donations, to serve that cause—he fought,
lie bled for it—nor did he quit the service,
till peace, liberty and independence were
secured as the prize of the ebnflid. For
these services he refufed any coropenfation
from the American government. It is
therefore highly honourable to the Nation

FROM ALICANT, Jan. l4, 1794.
“ ,Jo order to form a treaty of Peace
with the Algerines, Col. Humphrey MiniL
ter at Lilbon, has been here for some time
for that purpose ; in which I am fbrry to
observe he has not fucceded, and is now at
-Madrid ; but previous to his departure, he
authorized Mr. Robert Montgomery to
fend With all expedition, the heceflary re
lief to the Captives, carried into the above
port, which he has already e,ffefted, in
making them remittances of specie and
cloarhlng adequate to their wants, and will
continue to give them every assistance in
his power, to reader their firaation more
tolerable.”
Thank heaven, peace is likely to be un
interrupted : The profpefts of the United
States are reluming their former bright
ness. Our merchants have the best expec
tations of ample renumerstion ; the Em
bargo it is expafted will not long continue
in faft some are loading their veflels in the
expeftation of its speedy termination; ,
Accounts and letters from Port (mouth,
state, that Capt. Salter has arrived theke
in 46 days from Dartmouth, in Eftgland,
who; informs, that the day before he failed,
news was received there, chat the French
had captured the islands of Guernsey and
Jersey—that on the day he failed the news
was corroborated by other intelligence, and
believed. ’ .
The intelligence by the above arrival is
to Mirch 20th, or 21st ; about the date of
the European accounts, via New-York.
Theiflands of Guernsey and Jersey, are in
the vicinity of the French coast, the latter
hot more than 7or 8 leagues distant, and
Dartmouth is on the coast of England im
mediately qppofite to them. They are
extremely fertile and generally contain
much provisions ; of course are an objefl.
St. Maloes, where the French were in,force
is not “far from them, and the accounts
from England, to March 18, state that the
French contemplated their capture.
A letter from a Member of Con
grefs* to a gentleman in Hartford*
dated April 30, fays* the general
topic if political inquiry is ref peeing
the profpeEl of a war. From the
latest intelligence it appears that the
European belligerent powers are
making preparations for a vigorous
campaign. Peace is out of question
with them, and there is tbe great est
profpebi that much human blood will
befhed during the ensuing summer.
1 contemplate with pain* the calam
ities which tbepeople in Europe must
fuff er; but turn my eyes with un
speakable rapture* to behold the prof
peß that America will escape the
horrors of war. Accounts from
London* evidence that the British
nation highly disapprove of the order
of tbe 6th of November: and that a
compensation for our losses is uni
versally agreed to be proper. Such
