MR. BRADFORD,
I HAVE been credibly informed, that the very notable meeting at Lexington on the 28th of August, consisted of but five men who have any pretensions to information, not to say, respectability,—and that they were not unanimous, as was asserted. I have not yet heard what was the number who received, and voted the address to the president,—probably the same. It would be well when these accounts of Town meetings, are published, that you would require some accuracy in them; for the country people find themselves most grossly imposed upon, as well on account of their numbers, as by their assertions. Many concurring in error may give it weight; but the falsehoods of a few are always contemptible. Now sir, as many of us in the country take our politics from the town, I pray you do not deceive us any more in these matters, lest you should be the cause (tho' doubtless the innocent one) of leading us into fatal mistakes. These town people made so much noise last year, spoke so big, and opened so many correspondencies, that many of us were almost ready to join our brethren insurgents, in the other parts of the United States particularly those in Monongahela. And I verily believe if the United States army had not been marched over the mountain, when it was, that many of us would have been drawn completely into the scrape. I mention these things to shew you how much mischief may be done by misrepresentation, calculated to disturb our peace, inflame our passions, and mislead our judgments. Therefore I hope sir, that you will not again represent a meeting of five or six persons, as a general meeting of citizens from the different parts of the state, without giving us your author.
A READER.
FELLOW CITIZENS.
I AM persuaded that it must be the want of information, that causeth the United States unanimously to condemn the proceedings of the President and Senate, for confirming the late treaty with Great Britain: they have only heard what may be said on one side of the question, and perhaps they have never yet heard the real reasons for confirming this treaty, and therefore, have immaturely gave judgment against their superiors.—In general, I must observe, that the nature of our constitution seems to be very much mistaken by those who are violently against the late treaty. It is certain, that ours is a mixed government, and the perfection of our constitution consists in this: that the 'monarchical' (without the name of a King) and the 'aristocratical' and 'democratical' forms of government, are mixed and interwoven in ours, so as to give all the advantages of each, without subjecting us to the danger and inconveniences of either.—Whereas the French constitution is altogether democratical; and consequently exceeding dangerous to the peace and happiness of mankind, there was, therefore, great danger in having any connexion with France, lest our people should be corrupted by them, to the great danger of our glorious constitution; therefore, it was our interest to be shy with France, and to keep them at a distance as we have done.
But when we behold the unparalleled success of the French arms, from year to year, ever since the commencement of the war, and the rapid progress that French liberty was ma-
king in the world, we found that something more must be done.
At length, upon self-defence, it appeared necessary for us to do every thing in our power against them; if we had declared ourselves in favour of the combined powers, and proclaimed war against France; as they are at a great distance from us, the chief that we could do was to supply the one in provision, and withhold it from the other; and this we have done in the late treaty (we hope) in such a manner, as will not involve us in a war with France.
And is there any thing in all this, that should occasion such a general outcry and tumult throughout the United States? You by your own voluntary consent, constitutionally vested the President and Senate with this power, and will you now unanimously rise up against them, because they have endeavoured to prevent your being forever ruined by extreme enthusiastic French democracy.—Mind your farming business, and never perplex yourselves about those things; doth not the President and Senate know better what is for your benefit than you do.—Cease, I say, from disturbing the peace and happiness of the Commonwealth.
A LOVER OF POWER.
In the plan of a Constitution for the French Republic, the following declaration of the Rights of Man, and of the Citizen, was presented by the committee of Eleven, in the sitting of the 5th Messidor (June 23,) year 3d.
DECLARATION
Of the Rights of Man, and of the Citizen.
The French People proclaim, in the presence of the Supreme being, the following Declaration of the RIGHTS OF MAN, and of the Citizen:
Article I. THE end of Society is the common good. Government is instituted to guarantee to man the enjoyment of his rights.
II. The rights of man in Society are Liberty, Equality, Safety and property.
III. Liberty consists in having power to do what will not hurt another.
IV. Every man is free to manifest his thoughts and opinions.
The liberty of the Press, and every other means of publishing his thoughts, cannot be interdicted, suspended or limited.
Every man is free in the exercise of his religious worship.
V. Equality consists in that the Law shall be the same for all, whether it protect, or whether it punish.
VI. Law is the expression of the general will. That which is not forbidden by the law, cannot be obstructed.
No one can be constrained to do that which it does not ordain.
VII. Safety consists in the exertion of all to assure to each the enjoyment and the preservation of his rights.
VIII. No one can be called to justice, accused, arrested nor detained, except in cases determined by the law, and according to the forms which it prescribes.
Every citizen arraigned or seized under the authority of the law, ought to obey at the instant; he renders himself culpable by resistance.
IX. Those who solicit, expedite, sign, execute or cause to be executed arbitrary acts, are culpable and ought to be punished.
X. Every man being presumed innocent until he has been legally declared guilty all rigor which is
not necessary to secure the person of the detained, ought to be severely repressed by law.
XI. No one ought to be judged nor punished but after having been heard or legally summoned.
XII. Neither civil, or criminal law, can have a retrospective effect.
XIII. The law should decree those punishments only, which are strictly necessary.
Punishments should be proportioned to crimes.
XIV. The right of property is that of enjoying and disposing of his goods, his revenues, and the fruit of his labor and of his industry.
XV. Every man is master of his own time and services, but he cannot sell himself nor be sold: his person is not alienable property.
XVI. No one can be deprived of his property without his consent, except when the public necessity, legally ascertained, requires it, and then on condition of a just indemnification.
XVII. All taxes are established for the general good, they ought to be apportioned in ratio to ability or income.
XVIII. The Sovereignty resides essentially in the universality of the citizens; it is one, indivisible, imprescriptible, inalienable.
XIX. No individual and no partial meeting of the citizens can attribute to itself the sovereignty.
No one without a legal delegation shall exercise any authority, nor fill any public office.
XX. Every citizen has a right to concur directly or indirectly in the formation of the law, the nomination of the Representatives of the people, and of the public functionaries.
XXI. The social compact cannot exist if their limits are not fixed, and if the responsibility of public functionaries is not secured.
XXII. Public functions cannot become the property of those who exercise them.
XXIII. The citizens have a right to address petitions to the Depositaries of the public authority.
Constitutional act.
The French Republic is one and indivisible. The aggregate of the French citizens is the Sovereign.
LONDON, June 28.
ADMIRALTY-OFFICE, June 27.
The following dispatch was this morning received from Lord Bridport, K. B.
Royal George, at sea, June 24. Sir,
It is with sincere satisfaction I acquaint you for information of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, that his majesty's squadron under my command attacked the enemy's fleet, consisting of 12 ships of the line, attended with 11 frigates and some smaller cruisers, on the 23d inst. close in with port L'Orient: The ships which struck are the Alexander, Le Formidable, and Le Tygre, which were with difficulty retained. If the enemy had not been protected and sheltered by the land, I have every reason to believe that a greater number, if not all the line of battle ships, would have been taken or destroyed.
In detailing the particulars of this service, I am to state that, at the dawn of day on the 22d inst. the Nymph and Astrea, being the look-out frigates ahead, made the signal for the enemy's fleet. I soon perceived that there was no intention to meet me in battle;
consequently, I made a signal for four of the best sailing ships, the Sans Pareil, Orion, Russell and Colossus, and soon afterwards for the whole fleet to chase, which continued all that day and during the night, with very little wind.
Early in the morning on the 23d inst. the headmost ships, the irresistible, Orion, Queen Charlotte, Russell, Colossus and Sans Pareil, were pretty well up with the enemy, and a little before six the action began and continued till near nine, when the ships struck; the British squadron were near to some batteries, and in the face of a strong naval port, which will manifest to the public the zeal, intrepidity and skill of the admirals, captains, and all other officers and soldiers employed upon this service, and they are fully entitled to my warmest acknowledgements. I beg also to be allowed to mark my approbation in a particular manner of capt. Domet's conduct, serving under my flag, from his manly spirit, and from the assistance I received from his active and attentive mind. I feel likewise great satisfaction in doing justice to the meritorious conduct of all the officers of every class, as well as the bravery of the seamen and soldiers in the Royal George upon this event, and upon former occasions.
I judged it necessary upon the information I had received of the force of the enemy, to put the Robust, a hundred and Standard, into my line of battle; but their distance from the squadron, and under the circumstance of little wind, they could not join me till after the action was over. I shall proceed upon my station as soon as I have ordered a distribution of the prisoners and made other necessary arrangements for the squadron. It is my intention to keep at sea, in order to fulfil every part of my instructions. I have judged it necessary to send captain Domet with my dispatches, who will give their lordships such further information as shall have occurred to him on the victory we have gained.
You will herewith receive a list of the killed and wounded.
N. B. I am happy to find by the report made to me, that capt. Grindal's wounds are not dangerous.
Note. Capt. Domet reports, that the remainder of the enemy's fleet made their escape into L'Orient.
I am, &c.
BRIDPORT.
14 officers and 105 men wounded. 29 men killed.
By the most official accounts received of the damage done by the late fire at Copenhagen, it appears that one third of that city is reduced to ashes, and that 20,000 inhabitants are burnt out, and the greatest number of them are left without any resources. It is not known how many lives have been lost.
PLYMOUTH, June 24.
This evening at five o'clock arrived here the squadron under the command of vice admiral Cornwallis, consisting of the Royal Sovereign, Brunswick, Mars, Triumph, and Bellerophon, men of war, and Pallas frigate. On the 17th inst. they fell in with a French squadron, consisting of 13 sail of the line, and 14 frigates, which chased them for two days and nights, and at last brought them to action near Belleisle, and a running fight continued for twelve hours, during which eight sail of the line of battle ships were terribly shattered—so much so, that they were obliged to give over the chase, and fall back, and the remaining five sail, with the fifteen

frigates, observing the rough treatment their companions had met with from this little squadron, thought proper to give up the pursuit also. And admiral Cornwallis then steered away for England to refit, as most of his squadron had received damage, though glorious to relate, he has not a single man killed, but several are said to be wounded.
PARIS, June 27. MILITARY COMMISSION. Condemnation and execution of several members of the Convention.
Half past twelve o'clock, the commission condemned to death, Romme, Duquesnoy, Duroc, Bourbotte, Soubrany, and Goujon, convicted of being accomplices, in the dreadful events which took place the 20th May—of having conspired against the republic—aimed at the dissolution of the national representation, and the assassination of her members.
Payard, on account of his having been less violent and rebellious in his conduct, though at the same time convicted, by his own confession, of having moved for the removal of the constituted authorities, re-organized since the 9th Thermidor—the commission condemned him to transportation.
Forestier, not having been proved to have taken an active part in the events of the 20th May, the commission orders, he shall be conducted to the house of arrest, and be under the surcharge of the committee of general safety, who may order what they find convenient relative to him.
When judgment had been pronounced, Goujon said, There is my portrait, which I beseech you to return to my wife.
Duquesnoy. I trust you with this letter, it contains my adieu to my friends and my wife. I desire my blood may be the last innocent blood, which shall be shed. May it consolidate the republic.—Vive la Republique.
Bourbotte. The enemies to liberty are those who have asked for my blood. My last vow—my last sigh, shall be for my country.
The condemned put on the bureau, their pocket books, a letter, and a deputy ticket.
Duroy, Bourbotte, and Soubrany were put into a cart at one o'clock, P. M.
Duroy, when in the yard of the tribunal, pointing to some of the members of the commission, said, "There are the assassins who enjoy their own work! O, how unhappy am I, to have failed in attempting to put an end to my existence! Were these hands of mine made to be tied by a common executioner? Enjoy, enjoy the spectacle, Messrs. Aristocrats!"
He uttered violent invectives against many who were in the yard. Soubrany only said, Let me die! Bourbotte was executed the last. He said on the scaffold, We are not guilty! adieu till our next meeting!
Romme, Duquesnoy, and Goujon, killed themselves as soon as judgment had been pronounced.
If the army had been much agitated by the seditious movements at Paris, they are not less full of indignation at the new atrocities which have been committed at Toulon. They call down on its authors the national vengeance.
From the London Gazette, June 29.
His Majesty's most gracious SPEECH to both houses of parliament on Saturday, June 27, 1795.
My Lords and Gentlemen. The zealous and uniform regard which you have shown to the general interests of my people, and particularly the prudent, firm and spirited support which you have continued to afford me in the prosecution of the great contest in which we are still unavoidably engaged, demand my warmest acknowledgments.
The encouragements which my
allies must derive from the knowledge of their sentiments, and the extraordinary exertions which you have enabled me to make in supporting and augmenting my naval and military forces, afford the means most likely to conduce to the restoration of peace to these kingdoms, and to the re-establishment of general tranquility, on a secure, honorable and lasting foundation.
Gentlemen of the house of Commons.
I have to return you my hearty thanks for the liberal and ample supplies which the resources of the country have enabled you to provide, beyond all former example, for the various exigencies of the public service.
I have also to acknowledge, with peculiar sensibility, the recent proofs which you have given me of your attachment to my person and family. In the provision which you have made for settling the establishment of the prince and princess of Wales, and for extricating the prince from the incumbrances in which he was involved.
My lords and gentlemen,
It is impossible to contemplate the internal situation of the enemy, with whom we are contending, without indulging a hope that the present circumstances of France may, in their effects, hasten the return of such a state of order and regular government as may be capable of maintaining the accustomed relation of amity and peace with other powers. The issue, however, of these extraordinary transactions is out of the reach of human foresight. Till the desirable period arrives, when my subjects can be restored to the secure enjoyment of the blessings of peace, I shall not fail to make the most effectual use of the force which you have put into my hands.
It is with the utmost satisfaction that I have recently received the advices of an important and brilliant success over the enemy by a detachment of my fleet, under the able conduct of lord Bridport.
I have every reason to rely on the continuance of the distinguished bravery and conduct of my fleet and armies, as well as of the zeal, spirit and perseverance of my people, which have been uniformly manifested through the whole course of this just and necessary war.
Then the lord chancellor, by his majesty's command, said,
My lords and gentlemen, It is his majesty's royal will and pleasure, that this Parliament be prorogued to Wednesday the 5th day of August next, to be then here holden, and this Parliament is accordingly prorogued to Wednesday the 5th day of August next.
BOSTON, August 10.
IMPORTANT!
A gentleman of information, from India, relates the following as a fact, respecting the situation of the British settlements in that part of the globe.
"That an important change of affairs is near at hand—That the people in those settlements are so highly disaffected with the overbearing measures of the British govt. that nothing is talked of among them but a revolution—a declaration of independence, and a free trade with all the world." This opinion was so universal throughout the provinces, that he has not a doubt but by this time it is carried into effect.
Query. What benefit can America derive from such a change in India, if she is fast bound in her trade by a previous and wicked treaty with Britain?
PHILADELPHIA, August 25.
A letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux to his correspondent in this city, dated June 21, mentions, that a gentleman had just arrived there from Brest, corroborating
the engagement between the British and the French, near Brest, and that a British ship of the line & a frigate, had been sent in there.
From all circumstances, joined with the treaty contest, it would seem that serious times approach—to steer the helm of government between the quick-sands which float, to save the dignity and liberties of our country on the one hand, and guard against disgrace on the other, will require all that wisdom and virtue which can be conveniently dispensed throughout our land in the late memorable epoch of American affairs.
It is reported that the President has called together the judges of the supreme court of the United States, on important business. It is more than probable, that the assembling of the judges is for the ordinary session of the supreme court, which is in August and February. The senate is the constitutional council of the executive, as far as respects our negotiations with foreign nations. The President may ask the opinion of the judges on points of law, but it does not appear that any special summons has been issued for convening them at this time.
Lexington, September 26.
That noted horse thief, Moses Morgan, is said to have been seen in this town early on the morning of Thursday last.
The Political CREED of a Western American—
I BELIEVE that the treaty formed by Jay and the British king, is the offspring of a vile aristocratic few who have too long governed America, and who are enemies to the equality of man, friends to no government but that whose funds they can convert to their private emolument.
I do not believe that Hamilton, Jay or King and their minions, are devils incarnate; but I do believe them so filled with pride, and so fattened on the spoils of America, that they abhor every thing that partakes of Democracy, and that they most ardently desire the twinning multitude humbled in dust and ashes.
I believe the period is at hand when the inhabitants of America will cease to admire or approve the conduct of the federal executive, because they esteem the man who fills the chair of state.
I believe that the tempestuous sea on which our administration has embarked, will require the strong nerved arm of vigorous age, to conduct us from the abyss, into which we are descending.
I believe that the political dosage of our good old American chief, has arrived; and that while we record his virtues in letters of gold, we should consign his person to the tender offices due to virtuous age, and transfer him from the chair of state to the chair of domestic ease.
I do sincerely believe (from a knowledge of the man) that the senator from Kentucky, who voted in favor of the treaty, was actuated by motives the most dishonorable—that he is a stranger to virtue, either private or public, and that he would sell his country for a price, easily to be told.
I do also believe that Kentucky has as little reason to complain on this important occasion, as any of her sister states; as she had a perfect knowledge of the character of the man she delegated to represent her, knew that he possessed a soul incapable of good, and sentiments opposed to every real friend to her interest.
I do further believe, that the period has arrived, when independent Americans ought to mark with infamy, the man who dares to trample on the rights of his fellow citizens; that it is in vain to reprobate measures and suffer their authors to pass with impunity.
Under this belief Citizens of the
West, I arraign at your tribunal; that man who has attempted, in violation of your honor, your gratitude and your happiness, to attach you to a tottering and corrupt government, and eventually to enslave with you, every freeman.
Be assured that as long as he is considered as your representative, so long will he sacrifice your happiness and your honor, at the shrine of that god to which his vicious soul is devoted. If you are condemned to the services of a man, who neither speaks your language, nor possesses your sentiments, you may perhaps arrest the baneful influence of his voice, and teach a lesson that will make the dignified assassins of liberty tremble, when they attempt to barter the sacred rights of their constituents.
Let laurels adorn the virtuous citizen, and the plumage of the blackest bird encompass the unfaithful servant.

MENTZ, June 2. At the instant we had made eve- ry preparation for a sortie on the besiegers, a courier from Basse ar- rived with an order directing ge- neral Clairfayt to suspend further hostilities. We are momentarily in expectation of intelligence of a peace being concluded between the Empire and the French Republic. The treaty is said to be founded on the basis of the status quo ante bellum .
DÜSSELDORF, June 11. The misunderstanding between the Cabinets of Vienna and Ber- lin becomes daily more and more manifest. Count Clairfayt has just declared to general Mollen- dorf that he will not respect the limits traced in the treaty of peace between France and Prussia, and that he will carry the war where- ever circumstances may require.
In the Prussian army, they talk openly of an approaching war be- tween Prussia and Russia. It is ev- en confidently said, that Sweden, Denmark and the Porte, will unite with the former, so as effectually to oppose the devouring ambition of the Court of Peterburgh.
It is certain that Catherine has replied very cool, and in a manner that sufficiently expresses her dis- content, to the notification made to her by Prussia of the peace just concluded with the French Repub- lic.
DIET OF Ratisbone, June 13. Spier, Saxe Weimar, Saxe Gotha, Saxe Eisenach, Saxe Altenburgh, Heneberg, Hesse Darmstadt, Bam- berg, Wirzburg, Mecklenburgh, Schwerin, Mecklenburg Gustrow Hohenzollern, the counts of Wet- terau, Franconal, and Westphalia, have all voted for the mediation of the King of Prussia, which has been passed over in silence by Pas- sau, Liege, Kemten, Schwarzen- burg, the Prelates of Suabia, Straf- burg and Chur.
Count Lehrbach has been here for several days, and it is expected he will stay a few days longer: His presence, and the journey for Vienna which is to follow, gives us hope that things will soon come to a final determination.
June 19. Lubeck and Holstein-Oldenburg, join the majority; Hildesheim & Paderborn agree to all propositions made in the Diet.
Nothing occurred to-day's sit- ting. The Elector of Mentz hoped
to be able to vote in the course of a week.
AMSTERDAM, June 18. REAR admiral Van Stabel is in Zealand, waiting for the fitting out of the Dutch squadron which is to act in concert with the squad- ron at Dunkirk. The squadron that is fitting out here will consist of twelve sail of the line, eight- een frigates, and some brigs. There is also a division of Helvoetsluys, under the command of Stores: It consists of La Révolution Batave, of 80 guns, La Victoire of 74, Le Genie of 74, Prudence of 64, and seventeen frigates. The troops to be embarked on board these ships consist of equal number of French and Dutchmen.
LONDON, July 6. The Paris papers down to the 30th ult. were on Friday receiv- ed in town: they contain an ac- count of some advantages gained over the Spaniards on the 15th ult. by the army of the Eastern Pyren- nees.
It is rumoured, on the authority of a letter said to have been receiv- ed from Toulon, dated the 22d of June via Calais, that the British and French fleets in the Mediter- ranean had had an action, despe- rate but not decisive.
BOSTON, August 20. NEWS from EUROPE.
We learn by private letters from Bilboa, in Spain, of as late dates as July 6, that the war was cari- ed on in that quarter with great activity and inveteracy. A few days before the date of the last letters, the French attacked and carried the Spanish lines with great slaughter on both sides; and at the time of writing the letters, the French and Spaniards were continually engaged, with vari- ous success. The first arrival from that quarter, must we think, bring the details of important advices.
In the North, nothing interest- ing has occurred since the surren- der of Luxembourg. The army under Gen. Pichegru, it is said, has passed the Rhine, and it is ex- pected will attack the prince de Cobourg.
August 26. THE ALGERINES We learn by Capt. Folquier, from Lisbon, still continue confined to the Mediterranean by the Portu- guese, which court had assured Mr. Church, that they would conclude no peace with them, without giving him three months notice. This is agreeable and authentic information.
EDENTON, August 20. Extract of a letter from Washington dated August 13.
"The accounts you have had of our distress may have been exagge- rated, but that is scarcely proba- ble. The following are the parti- culars:—The wind blew fresh at E. and N. E. all Saturday, with showers of rain. At 12 o'clock at night it began to blow violently, and at day light the tide was above four feet above common tide, and continued to rise until 12 o'clock, by which time it was from eleven to twelve feet above common tide, & covered the whole town, a very few spots excepted—swept off all the ware house, and stores from the wharves—and herrings and o- ther articles which went off with them, has been found sixteen miles up the river, where the tide rose seven feet and ran up with great rapidity. Seven vessels were drove on shore, one of them lost and several of the others will cost as much as they are worth to get them off.
"I think the loss at this place cannot be estimated at less than 40,000 dollars; and I much fear that sickness will make worse ha- vock than the storm, for the stench from the wet corn, peas, tobacco &c. added to the pools of stagnant water and drowned stock, ins tolerable."
HALIFAX, (N. C.) August 17. We hear that in the violent gale on the 2d instant, six vessels were drove ashore at Occacock Bar, and that one only, by cutting away her masts, rode it out. Much damage is said to be done at Newbern and Washington by the rising of the tide, &c.—At the latter place, we hear there were very great quan- tities of sugar, salt, grain, &c. de- stroyed.
We are again visited with the calamity of another fresh, which is now higher than any remem- bered in Roanoke since May, 1774, and it was continuing to rise last night, it is probable it may equal, it not exceed it. The freshes we have had in the earlier part of the season, had done very considerable damage among the indian corn in the low grounds, but the present one it is thought, will entirely de- stroy all the remainder. Great destruction is feared among the stock, and many hogs will doubt- less be lost.
WILMINGTON, (N. C.) Aug. 14 Accounts from the town and neighborhood of Newbern, give the most distressing particulars of the ravages of the late heavy gale of wind. The crop of corn, &c. almost universally destroyed—The town of Newbern has had up- wards of seventy houses blown down or materially injured—a number of vessels were driven on shore, and three which were on the stocks were blown off.
PETERSBURG, August 18. In the night of Thursday last, we had a most powerful torrent of rain which raised the creeks and rivers in this neighbourhood, at least twelve feet above their usu- al height, and much higher than has been known for upwards of seventy years. The run which passes across Water-street common- ly called Brick-house Run, was o- verflowed to such a degree by day- break on Friday morning, as to be two feet above that part of the street, and the houses were in great danger, one of them, a large two story house, was nearly washed down—the current carried away so much of the street as to be rendered impassible. That part of the town which lies next the landing, was entirely overflowed on Friday, and near two thirds of the houses have either moved from their foundations or have crushed down; most of those that are now standing have received such injury, that it is apprehended they will fall when the water abates. The bridge and saw-mill, near Camp- bell and Wheeler's mills, and the bridge that leads from this town over the river Appomatox have been carried away. All the mills in this neighbourhood are very much damaged, and some are totally destroyed. We hear that this flood has been very general throughout the country, and that the losses in mills, houses, bridges, crops &c. far exceed any thing of the kind within the knowledge of any man living,
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2. Translated from a Paris paper. BELIZE SUMMONED.
Extract of a letter from Bellisle, dated 9th Messidor, (June 28.)
"Yesterday the English squad- ron anchored within two leagues of this place. The admiral sent a flag of truce, to summon us to surrender; and to acknowledge Louis XVII for our king.
"The English officer, charged with this message landed on shore and was conducted to general Bou- cret, who is the commandant of the the island. He said it was re- ported we had provision for but two days; and that the king, his master, to invite the general to surrender the island; for which he should be well rewarded; and his king would give to him an ho- norable office. General Boucret, answered in writing to the officer,
He had sworn to die a Republican. He commanded men, who like himself had taken the same oath. And all would observe it; and die at their posts, before the English slaves should have the opportunity of boasting of the possession of Belize; and that he might immediately go and carry that message to the king his master.
"We wait now for the conse- quences of this answer: but are all determined to defend ourselves to the last extremity."
Sept. 5. Extract of a letter from Cadiz, Ju- ly 9, 1795.
"By the Spanish Gazette of this day it appears, the Portuguese have made peace with the Alge- rines, so that it may be appre- hended their cruisers will again interrupt the American flag, un- less col. Humphreys, who we are informed is now at Algiers, settles matters with them. Inclosed you will find the paragraph cut out of the Spanish Gazette."
The following is a translation of the paragraph:
The conclusion of a treaty be- tween the court of Portugal and the regency of Algiers, by the mediation of the kings of Spain and England is confirmed.
By the ship Polly, from Havre- de-Grace, July 4, we learn, that colonel Humphreys arrived there on the 25 of June, in the brig So- phia of Philadelphia, from Gibral- tar, and immediately set out for Paris.
Extract of a letter from Cow-Ford St. John's river, dated July 12, 1795, to a gentleman in Charle- ston.
"I have but just time to inform you, that on Thursday night, the 9th instant, the French in Florida crossed St. John's river, a little be- low the Cow-Ford. The night was far advanced in crossing, the men 50 in number, under the command of captain Richard Lang. On their arrival on the side, they took three Spanish Militia officers pri- soners of the following rank and names, viz. capt. Hollansworth, lieutenant Summerlin, and ensign Hogan, together with a small mi- litia guard.
"The day approaching very fast, they with all possible speed marched for the battery of St. Ni- cholas, alias Cow-Ford, containing two eighteen pounders; and with- out hesitation, proceeded to storm it. The conflict was short; the Spaniards had two men killed and five wounded, who have since di- ed of their wounds; twenty-eight taken prisoners, together with commandant Ignacio Lopez, a ca- det, about one hundred stand of arms, and plenty of provisions and stores.
"The subsequent morning they attacked the king's launch, and after an engagement of half an hour, she struck; they took prison- ers on board capt. Don Manuel and 17 seamen—her Prow contain- ed a 24 pounder, a number of swiv- els, plenty of ammunition, a quan- tity of rum, pork, beef, bread &c.
"On Saturday a party of twen- ty men was ordered to go and at- tack Noleses battery; however on their approach the Spaniards dis- covered them, and before our men could get over the Potsburg ferry, that intercepted their march, the Spaniards spiked their cannon and fled, leaving their arms and every thing behind them.
"There is lying in this port, a British 20 gun brig, a small schoo- ner of 10 guns, and a Spanish gal- ley, and the republicans were ap- prehensive of being attacked by them, should they discover their numbers. The S. Inhabitants are joining them hourly—but they are much in want of men to man the battery and galley, and quite in- experienced in gunnery. The Mi- litia officers have generally given themselves up and received paroles. The express is just going off to Ge- neral Clarke, by whom I send this."

NOTICE.
WHEREAS on the 12th day of February last, I entered into a contract with John Hendricks, of Berkeley county, Virginia, for the sale of a tract of land lying in Clarke county, adjoining the town of Winchester, in the State of Kentucky, for which I received his bonds, the first payable on the 1st day of August, 1797, 100l. and the second on the 1st of August, 1798, 100l.—On the day that the first bond was due, I applied to him for payment, when he requested indulgence until this day, which I complied with, but on calling on him for a discharge of the bond due, he was either not able, or willing, and as he has my bond for a conveyance of the above tract of land, but has not fulfilled the contract on his part, I hereby forewarn all and every person from dealing in any manner with said Hendricks for said tract of land, or taking any assignment on my bond of conveyance aforesaid, as it is null and void, by his twice failing to comply with the tenor of our agreement.
I also forewarn all persons from cutting timber thereon, or removing any timber or stone from the same, or in any manner concerning with the above tract of land, as they shall answer the same at their peril.
