FROM WASHINGTON, april gth.
The reports concerning applications for a loan
and the like, and the many rumours concerning
±he Trench fleet, have no other toandation than a
'letter from the Admiral of the French fleet, inti
tating that they should have occasion to enter
'the waters of the United States to water and re-
Ft, on ther way fron; St. Domingo to Europe—
it is supposed the fleet wilt very food touch at
Come of oar ports, it will very probably enter
the Chefapeak.
Mr. Otto, who was charge des affaires during
part of om revolution, is expected to arrive here
the early part of next month. A house is t'aken
for him here.
The naturalization law has passed the Senate
with foihe amendments, not altering the princi
ple of the original bill.
The Republicans wish to close the session with
this month at farthelt, but every difficulty and
fyecies of procrastination is thrown in their way.
Alteraliotisin the dispatch of the public mails,
and expediting the communication between the
great cities on our tea-board, are to go into ope
ration in the course of the preferit month—for ex
ample the cummunuatiou between Wellington
bud Bolton is to be performed by the mails in
hour days and a half.
“ I wrote you a few days ago, via Alexandria,
since when the Tr nt frigate has arrived express
from England, directing the commanders in chief
to be on their guard. Private information by
this vessel fays, that, in consequence of the trifling
cohdoa of the French Legation,and the reluctance
difeovered by the Dutch and Spanilh Ambassadors
to cede Geylon and Trinidad to Great Britain,
Lord Cornwallis had given in his ultimatum that
he would return to his court it they did not decide
in 24 hours. We have fix fail of tbedinejud arri
ved to strengthen our position to windward."
INTERESTING INFORMATION.
Advices were yesterday received from the Ha
vana, which announce that the Court of Madrid
have granted permission for the exportation of spe
cie, free of duty, from the Spanish dominions, for
the purchase of (hipping. This information we
derive from an authority next to official.
The foregoing intelligence, we presume, is of
tonfiderable magnitude to the merchants of the
United States ; as in consequence of the peace in
Europe, we are in possession ofa great furplufage
of shipping, which hereby we shall be enabled to
dispose qf to advantage. —-Phil. Gaz.
It is said that twelve and an half dollars a bar
rel have been offered in Philadelphia for flour for
the nfe of the French fleet and refufed. The
inarket price was fix and halt dollars at the fame
time. The motives for the refufal were alledged
to be that the payment was to be made by bills
on the Gonfular government.—
[Aurora,
A very curious incident is mentioned in a coun
try paper, as having lately occurred in the neigh
bourhood of Clafhmore, county of Waterford :—
A countryman had taken so extraordinary a fan
cy to a young girl, who lived at fume distance
from him, and not meeting with proper encou
ra rement in the usual way of addressing her, he
resolved to carry her off, and marry her by force ;
pad for ibis purpose engaged a number of fellows
to affirt him on an appointed night. The girl's
brother having been informed of the plot by a
rarf o£ in the secret, dressed himfelt up in his fif
cloths, and pretended to be very busy in
Smoothing imeri when the ravishers approached ;
they burtt open the door, and placed the supposed
damfebbehind her intended spouse, who mftantly
galloped off to his house, where he confined her
the care of his mother and fitter, during tnem
|q be very ,ind to her, and Iceep her-in bed until
he went for a clergyman. By the rudencfs of
" As to news—there is not any at present but
of a negative description. The public are an
kioufly waiting to hear the ratification of the de
finitive treaty. Our newspapers are amusing then
I eaders with various supposed objects as reasons
'for the protraction of that treaty, but as one pa
per to morrow, ufbalb contradicts the conjecture
of to day, it is evident nd credit is to be given to
any of their ttatements—but in all companies it
seems to be the opinion that Spain as tar as she
DARt, pruteft ag?.iuft the giving up Trinidad, to
Great British : it is " ell understood in England the
importance that place would prove to our mari
time operations in South America, and therefore
the danger which Spain would bring upon her pos
sessions in that quarter of the world by yielding it
iip. But what can the do if the Counsels of the
C mfulate infill on her obedience to their will ? 1
depend more upon information I got a few days
ago from a young gentleman of my acquaintance,
who went out affidunt surgeon in the third regt,
of guards, lately returned from Egypt.- He return
ed to England via Fiance, and \ hen he was at
Amiens, about eight days ago, they were fitting
ftp apartments against the arrival of the Firlt Con
sul, who was soon expetted there to ratify the
treaty with Lord Cornwallis. We may soon ex
pest then to hear news of importance from that
place.
It is thought bv feme, that one cause of the de
lay of the, ratification of the Treaty, a
tlfes frorii some objections thrown in by our
goverinnent to Banapaite's nlurped power over
toe Ir^U^u Uejmblic, and getting him<clf elected
hendent —out this is mere conjecture.

most immediately betrayed, and the whole ter

amorous knight errant.,
Whether Monsieur Dupont has made his
second tour to the feat of government to ob
tain the loan of fix millions, halt in specie
and, half in provisions for the French fleet,
rests upon the veracity of federal editors.
That they Should be supplied with stores,
will be gratifying to Americans at large ;
but fliould those merchants who have large
stores, and no foreign call find thereby a rea
dy market for their perishable goods, they
will undoubtedly grumble at the measure,
if effected under the administration of the
present Prcfideht ; nor would a ce(lion of
Louisiana, that late French thorn in federal
Belli, be ample in their minds for victualling
a fleet and army in the Welt-Indies, so far
has party spirit driven some good-natured
federalifts. [Cent, of Freedom.}
