Iny.iety of the Prufli.n Cabinet to preserve 1
U* neutrality, but it prove* that any attempt
to mvade the provinces on that iid« will be !
refilled.
Is the force we have fent ftrong enough j
to conquer Holland, or is it meant to peritft !
in the expedition even after it is clearly afeer- j
tained that the fentiments of the Dutch are !
not with us ? Every man who confiders the j
difficulties which the nature of the country,
and the refillance of the people, would op
pufe to fudi an enterprise, aJded to the
wade of Britifh blood and treafure, which
inuft be the inevitable confequeuce, will, vve i
are perfuaded, anfwer that we ought not_
Now we can abandon the enterprise without j
difgrace — we can fay to the Dutch—“We •
conceived you wifhed to he rclcafed from the j
influence and power of France. We afforded 1
you the means—you rejedt them—wc leave J
you to yourfelves.”
From the expedition againd Holland, we j
turn to the general objects of the war againft !
France. Every thing tends to prove that
the Emperor of Germany has i.o intention of
employing his forces for the purpofe of
efretding a change in the government of
France—of this miniiters are, we believe ful
ly convinced. His Imperial majefly confcf
les it. Through the medium of the Arch
duke Charles, he fays, in a circular letter ad
drefCed to the Princes of the Empire, that ;
if all the dates furmfhed their contingents, <
t‘ie Ftench will be forced to the conditions J
of peace laid down as a bafts in the refolution
of the Empire in 1795~ If thefe conditi
ons then could he obtained, which had not
in view any change in the form of govern
ment in France, he would then make peace
with the French Republic.

Speedy, Gibraltar, Augujl 21.
'Mr Loro,
I have the honor to inform your lordfliip,
that on the 9th inft. in company with the
Defender Br.tiih privateer, of Gibraltar, of
14 guns, we captured the Spani(h veflels
Santo Chrido de Gracia, of 8 guns, 6 and 9
pounders ; name uuknown, to guns, 6 and 9
pou-sders ; name unknown, 4 guns, fixes, af
ter an action of two hours and an half.
Upon feeing us they ran into a fmall fan
dy Say, 5 leagues to the eaflwardof Oapede
Gatte, and moored in a clofc line, within a
boat's length ot the beach ; we engaged them
an hour three qua ters under fail, befoic
we could gain foundings, although not more
than a cable’s length diilant from the rocks ;
but finding the enemy had much the advan- ,
tage from our condant change of pofition, I I
determined to puflt for art anchorage, & was !
fa foi tunate as to effect one within pidol fhot
of the ctHtre veffcl: after three quarters of
an Jiour clofc action the Spaniards took to
t 'P:.=-4se*tB, cutting the cables <*f tiyoof the
veflels, which drove on fhore ; they were,
however, all brought off by out boats under
a conftant fire of mufquetry from the hills.
The privateer having 2 2 men. wa9 ohlio- •
rd to ft and out to procure afnftancc from a
boat (he had in the offing, and could not
reach the anchorage, till the condufion of
the a&ion. The conduit of her command
er was highly meritorious throughout, and J
mull have accelerated the event. The ofli.
cers and men under my command behaved
in fuch a manner as would have infured our
fucccfa againft a more formidable enemy.
The Speedy had but a few men wounded,
the Defender one, neither dangerous. Wc
found two men dead on board the Spaniards.
The remainder of their crews efcaped on
fhore.
1 have the honor to he, ftc.

Extrncl of a letter to the Editor, dated Ne'iv—
lark, November 22.
Ycflcrday I attended the Mayor’s court in this
city a* a fpedlator—thetrial of Mr, Prothingham,
as conductor of the Argus, came on ; the hufntcr*
■was opened try jnfuh O. Hotfman as attorney
genital The bench confided of judge Raricliff,
Richard Harrilon, recorder, R. Vack, Mayor.—
'J fits trial is important only on two accounts;
Firft, becaufc an innocent :nau fullers: Secondly,
the precedent it cltabiilhi-s, and the ridiridoully
infamous dodlrinc advocate l and promulgated by
Mr. Hoffman attorney general—no evidence*
•were fworn on ci'.hrr fide, except C. Colden aflif
tmt attorney gcncial, and major gcrural HamiL
ton himfclf.
Mr Colden dated, that at the indance of a let
ter from major general Hamilton, he had called j
at 'be office of the Atgu«, and was introduced by ,
Mrs. Ortenleaf to mr Frothinghsm, as conduc
tor of the bufinefs; that after fume con variation
mr. I) faid, he expelled that he was liable for any
publications which appeared in the Argus, but
repeatedly obftived, that he faw no criminality in
the prcTent indniuc as it rrfpcdlcd him, the piece
in dtipufe, having been copied from another pa.
per : He (Colden) added, that in pu-fuancc of
this declaration mr Frothingiiam was arrtflcd.
Mr.jor general Hamilton was fworn, and ral.
led upon, on the part of the date, to prove th >t
he was innocent of the charges alledgrd agairid
him. This was objeded to by mr. B. Liv'u 'don
of counftl fot the defendant: and the objection
admitted by the court; The amortut gcntrul was
tb’ n railed upon to explain certain ir.ucndocs in
the indiflment, refpeifting fpeculation, Ire This
having been done he w*» allied what was gene
rally underdood by ferretftrvite moire: being very
■well verfed in the vernacular tongt-e, he loutid
fame difficulty in the explat ation • but gav it a»
hi. opinion that it tm^nt n cney appr.pn ted by
» government, generally for urrxpt pvrpif/t, as it
rriptdtil the country and government in which
it was to be tiidtibuted, but in fupport of the go
vernment which pent it / I.* was then a Ik. J
whether he confulcrtd the elt-iera ,*s bepn’e to the
gov rrn’cnt of the United State*? And he re
plied lu the affirm.itht! This doled thj tcfUmo
ny.
Mr Brokholft Llvingfton then attempted to
prove t-iat Mr, Frothioghum w..s not rslp..itib]c;
that bit declaration to mr Cokien (hooid n» t Lc
admitted a* proof again;! him, and that ti.c attor
ney ought to have *rrelied the Lddor, In reply
to thi- mr. Hoffimn contended, that every jour
neyman and apprentice in the printing o.ii.c, *a,
liable to a profecution, as having been acce Vary to
:h- publicatioa of the libel, and conVcquiutly mr.
Frothiugham, as foreman of the OFite, w^ par
ocularly fo. To this extravagant and l might fay
* ifamou* tiodlrinc, mr. Livingtton replied with
hi* ufual pertinency and eloquence—mr. Living*
fton offered to adduce proofs, of the fittiation
in which mr. Frothingham was placed in the of
fiee of the Argus, hut this was over-ruled by the
court, He then went into au examination on the
publication, and having difieded it in a maflcrly
manner, concluded his defence with a few general
obfcrvrtions. This is a very brief Ikctch of tbc I
outlines of this trial. From the well known »»•
dcrat.i’i of our mayor, fee. there can be but very
little doubt of mr, Frothingham being treated as
feverely as is conliftcnt with party prudence.
For my part I am ailonilhed lometimcs, i
at the unqualified affertions fwhich I fre
quently fee in party newfpapers, on the‘
characters of individuals ; no Rate or couu- j
try hat; ever exhibited more flagrant and •
grot's violations of decency in this refpeCt, !
than your Uate. The unrellraincd abuic
wnich has been laviihed by the federal party, ’
and their futclliccs in Pennlylvania, on »
Judge M*Kean at the late eledlion, lurpaf
fes every thing of the kind I ever beheld :
It is a kind of warfare which I detcll, and
which I am proud no republican Editor rc
fort3 to.
Mr. Hoffman's do&rine of Libels, and
Mr. Tracey’s plan of a war with France are
of a piece.

Senator of Congrcfi. \ir. John l'.v/o.
had, on Wednelday preceding, named Mr.
Wilfon Nicholas; Mr. RicIim.i > rid Lee
now rofe, and nominate 1 Mr lo! n Page.
He entered into a very warm t :\ ^ium 01
the fervices, the ftifferfngs, and (lie virtue*
I of Mr. P •’ge, who had foent n g'cat par; j
both of hi\> fortune and of his hfe, in defend
ing the liberties of America. Mr. JL<*c ob
ferved that he did indeed differ from Mr
Pagein many points of opinion. But’thii
did not di ninilh Mr L<"e’» fenfe o -liCgrcai
nefs of his merit. Mr. Lee, ?t iUc fame
time, exprefted in the ft rouge 11 language, his
high opinion of Mr. Nicholas,! f hisabi.’iti.s,
his patriotilin, and his probity, ^though be
lhou!d vote ag.tiuil him, in farm cF s gentle
man poffclhng the fame quail' ‘i in a no leli*
eminent degree.
Mr. Samuel Tyler fpoke nr*t. He be
gan by cxprelfing his high oiXitlbn of the
gentleman propoled !>v t;,e atfmbcr from
Loudoun county. He could ot, however,
help thinking it extraordinary hat the gen
lleinan fhould propofc to m ur inate Mr.
Page in oppolitiun to Mr Nicholas, with
whom he was connected by cnllfaogutnity,
by marriage, and in short by every tie which
could unile political characters together.
He thought that it wrs taking an improper
freedom with Mr. Page to bring him for
ward, without his coaler.; or know
ledge, for the gentle mail had vdlcrdav
declared that he had no communication from
Mr- Page auihoriTmg him t* make fitch a
propofil ; neither could any perfon be fure
that Mr. Page, ifesecled, would ferve. Mr. j
Tyler figrufied hia refolution to vote for Mr !
Nicholas, and hinted though in Jibdtit teim*, I
that this rneafure of bringing forward Mr. j
Page was chiefly with a view to divide the
republican iutereft.
Mr, Lee rofe again, and obferve ’ that he j
had authority from a member of tlmt houfe
to fay that Mr. Page, if cletted, would i
ferve.
Mr. Giles was happy to hear fo honora- j
ble a teflimony to thecham&or of Mr, Page, I
and efpccially from a gentleman who had I
been at the head of the oppofition to him, i
Mr. Giles fpoke for a conf.dcrabje time, but '
the latcnelsof the hour, as the Argus is juft j
going to prefa, nukes it iiqpoffibk for us j
to go into the debate,
A meflage was received from the Senate, i
