December 9, 1794.

ELBERFELD, September 8. The French having effected the passage of the Rhine, the baggage of the Austrians, with a number of waggons and cattle arrived here the night before last, and several houses were appointed for the accommodation of the wounded. About eleven o'clock the whole Austrian army arrived, and this day their rear guard: they have proceeded on their way to Schwelm. At nine o'clock this day the French army arrived, and passed their route through this place, partly towards Schlingen and Schwelm; and, to-morrow, we are ordered to provide quarters for 1200 infantry, under the command of Lefebvre.
HAGEN September 9. Austrian troops are passing through here continually: the Duke of Wirtemberg is also arrived here. The poor Austrians have had no bread for these three days; but, notwithstanding, they behave exceedingly well. All the French emigrants have left us. General de Manstein, and Counsellor Repentrop, from Ham, are here, providing accommodation for these troops. Yesterday we heard a heavy cannonade.
HAMBURGH, Sept. 19. A report was current here a few days since, that the French were pursuing the Austrians through the Prussian dominions in Westphalia: but we now know from the best authority, that this report is without foundation. The Austrians are retreating into the country of Nassau, towards the Upper Rhine, and will no doubt endeavour to cover Mentz. Frankfort is within the line of demarcation, which is respected by the French: the rest, it is generally supposed that the late passage of the Rhine will greatly disconcert the plan of Count Wurmser's intended operations, and oblige him to detach such a large body of forces for the reinforcement of Field Marshal Clairfayt's army, that he will scarce be able to act in an offensive manner.
Citizen Reinhard, who is appointed by the Committee of Public Welfare, French minister at Hamburg, left Paris on the 7th inst. to proceed hither.
CORK, Sept. 12. Last Saturday night and on Sunday, the peaceable inhabitants of this city received the greatest usage and the most barbarous treatment that a ruffian and wanton soldiery could commit in a stormed town or enemies country; after the citizens had been alarmed for two days, and interrupted in their business, their shops shut up by orders from the Chief Magistrate, and their lives endangered by the dispositions of two regiments and their officers, the forces that had been called in to quell the insurrection proceeded to the most licentious acts. They ravished women on Saturday night in many quarters of the town, attacked private houses, demolished windows, and cut and beat many people in the most desperate manner. The Louth militia and seventh dragoons were principally guilty of those shocking atrocities, as disgraceful to military discipline as they are grievous to unoffending citizens—but this was not all: about five o'clock on Sunday afternoon, the seventh dragoons sallied forth into the streets, attacked the people indiscriminately at North Bridge, in Mallow Lane and in other streets, with drawn sabres; cut them in a miserable manner, and stabbed them most inhumanly. It was truly lamentable to behold an old man on North Bridge, endeavouring to run away, overtaken by one of these murderers, knocked down and pierced through the body!
On Monday night the dragoons attacked men and women at an early hour. On Coal Quay they knocked down and stabbed a poor sailor—at Southgate they violated
a woman, a virtuous woman, a married woman. A Mr Baxter of Grattan Street, they ferociously cut with sabres at the end of Broad Lane. In the North main street, they attacked Mr. L. Connor and another gentleman on their coming from the play, who only saved their lives by the greatest intrepidity. They broke every lamp in Filhamble Lane, many in the South main street, and demolished some houses of ill fame. Such are the achievements of those who are paid at the expence of the public to preserve peace and defend persons and property!—Such are the deeds that are allowed to be perpetrated in a garrison town during three days and three nights successively without control or interruption—such is the manner that the lives of citizens are sported with in a city numerously provided with constables, and where there are actually three staff officers!
We shall not hesitate to assert that these barbarous, wanton, and bloody excesses are shamefully disgraceful both to the civil and military powers. Why were such butchers allowed to remain in the city after the hundred and fifth and hundred and thirteenth regiments had laid down their arms, on Saturday afternoon? Why, if a city must be cursed with such guests, were they not confined to their quarters? Or, why, if oppressively thrown on poor publicans, were they not disarmed? Why allow the peace of one hundred thousand inhabitants to be disturbed for a moment, by the quarrels of infamous crimps—paid by the very people they dare to insult and maltreat? By what law of justice, reason, or good policy, will an armed banditti be allowed to roam like tygers among multitudes dispersed and disarmed?
These are questions that generals and magistrates may take time to answer at their luxurious tables; at the hour of five o'clock when the hungry citizen is sliced by their myrmidons; but how will they repair the injuries & cure the wounds that have been inflicted on scores, for their want of discipline and energy, we are at a loss to know.—Yet we will be told these are the friends of good order and the protectors of the people!!!
LONDON, September 17. It is said, that by a secret article in our late treaty with the court of Peterburgh, the empress stipulates to march 100,000 men to join the Austrians on the banks of the Rhine, on conditions which only respect the future destiny of miserable Poland.
Sept. 19. Dispatches have this morning been received from the Compté d'Artois, dated the 10th inst. By them we learn, that Admiral Harvey's fleet formed a junction with the squadron under the command of Sir John Borlase Warren on the ninth in the afternoon, off the isle of Houat.
A regular communication had been kept up between Charette and Sir John Warren for some days previous to the arrival of the Compté d'Artois; and the royalists, in order to secure the landing of the Prince and his troops, found it necessary to engage the republicans, and were so fortunate as to obtain a decisive victory over them, 4000 of their troops were left dead on the field, and a great number of the Republican soldiers deserted the royalists.
Every thing wore the most favorable aspect, and in the course of a very few days, we may expect to receive the most important intelligence.—SUN.
Sept. 22. On Saturday dispatches were received at the Admiralty Office from Commodore Sir John Borlase Warren, dated Quiberon Bay, Sept. 9, and brought to Plymouth by the Artois frigate, Sir Edward Nagel. In these dispatches the commodore states his having received intelligence from La Vendee, that in consequence of a grand
council of war, held at Nantz by the Republican generals, all the national guards of the neighbouring communes were directed to assemble in that city, in order to cross the Loire, and make a furious attack upon the Vendéans. The national guards having at first declined, and afterwards absolutely refused to participate in a measure merely calculated to cause Frenchmen to massacre each other; the Generals put themselves at the head of the troops of the line, lately arrived from the frontiers, reinforced by some requisition men, and with this force consisting of 14 battalions, marched against Charette, who, apprised of their intention, advanced to meet them, between Machecoult and Nourmoutier, and attacked and defeated the Republican army with such slaughter that scarce four battalions of the conventional troops escaped. The commodore observes, that altho' he has not yet received any official account of this action, yet he has every reason to believe the above information to be true.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20. Extract of a letter from Richmond, dated Nov. 20.
"The house of assembly have been debating three days on the constitutionality, and general policy of the treaty—Too much cannot be said, concerning the dignity and decorum observed in the debate. Mr. Marshall has distinguished himself in a remarkable manner, and no language can do justice to his able remarks in favor of the treaty, and executive—But all would not do—this day the question was determined. The first was put on Mr. Charles Lee's amendment to the resolution of thanks to the senators from Virginia—it was lost by a majority of 98 to 52—The question of thanks was then carried by 100 against 50—A motion was then made approving the President's general conduct, which will be debated tomorrow."

5. THIS article is impolitic and unjust, as it provides a satisfaction for a supposed breach of the treaty of '83, which was prejudicial to British subjects, without the treaty's affording any compensation for a breach of that treaty, equally prejudicial to a great number of American citizens.
The avowed object of the negotiation which ended in this treaty, was, as I have already shewn, the obtaining a satisfaction for the wrongs done us by Great Britain, those wrongs of two consisted, parts; those which arose from the infraction of the treaty of '83, and those which arose from the more recent spoliations committed on our vessels. The infractions of the treaty of '83, which we complained of as having been committed on the part of the British were two; their refusal to deliver the western posts agreeably to the stipulations of the treaty; and their carrying off our negroes, contrary to the stipulations of the treaty. They on their part complained, that some of the states had contrary to the treaty of '83, passed laws creating lawful impediments to the recovery of debts due to British subjects before the peace. The treaty itself declares, that it was entered into for the purpose of terminating all the differences between the two nations; and yet the treaty is altogether silent, as to one of the two causes of complaint on our part, against the British respecting the treaty of '83, the carrying away of our negroes. Before we can decide on the propriety of this article, by which "full and complete satisfaction" it is agreed to be made by us, for the only infraction of that treaty, with which we were charged; we must enquire, whether the cause of that complaint of ours, which has been passed over without notice, by the treaty, was just & it was of such a nature, as to be capable of, & to require, satisfaction and compensation: for if this complaint was just, and of such a nature as to be capable of compensation, the treaty was both impolitic and unjust: inasmuch as it agrees by this article, to make full and complete satisfaction on our part, without receiving a similar satisfaction from them. If the treaty had been silent as to both our complaints of their infraction of the treaty of '83, and had still made them full and complete satisfaction, for their only cause of complaint against us; every body would have seen and declared that the treaty was unjust. How then is the nature of the case changed, if the treaty has omitted only one of the causes of complaint when they are both equally just. The reason and justice of the case is still the same: for when an individual or a nation has many just causes of complaint against another individual or nation, they have each of them, the same right to expect full satisfaction for every just cause of complaint, as they would have had for a single cause of complaint: and where satisfaction was omitted for any one just cause of complaint, there would be the same injustice in the compromise, as if it had been omitted as to the whole of them: and the friend or servant concerned in that compromise, would be equally worthy of censure, in the one case as in the other. The situation of the United States makes this reasoning the more forcible in this case; the government consists of many different states, having separate local interests, and being liable to separate local injuries: our complaints against the British were founded on injuries of this kind one of them immediately affecting one part of the union, the other immediately affecting a different part of the union. It was there-
fore equally the duty of the general government, upon every principle of honesty and good faith, to procure a satisfaction for the one complaint, as for the other; provided they were equally just: and it was a criminal neglect of that duty, to sacrifice and give up, the claim to satisfaction in the one case, that they might the more certainly and easily obtain it, in the other: for they by that means, made a part of the citizens of the United States, contribute by the dereliction of their claims, to the just satisfaction made to the other part, but which ought to have been made only by the nation which did the injuries to them both. If then it can be proved, that the treaty has entirely omitted a satisfaction for a part of our fellow citizens, which it ought to have contained; this article respecting the British debts, will be as exceptionable, as if that article itself was founded on injustice, and stood alone in the treaty. The fact on which our claim to satisfaction was founded against the British, on account of negroes carried away, is not a disputed one; it is agreed on by both parties—that the British fleet did after the treaty of peace, carry off a great number of slaves belonging to American citizens, who had been taken from their masters before the treaty of peace was concluded: we insisted upon it, that the carrying away these negroes was an infraction of the treaty of '83, the British acknowledged the fact, but denied that it was an infraction of that treaty. The dispute could only be settled by the terms of that treaty. That part of the treaty '83 is in these words "his Britannic Majesty shall with all convenient speed and without causing any destruction, or carrying away any negroes or other property of the American inhabitants, withdraw all his armies, garrisons and fleets from the said United States, and from every post, place and harbour within the same; leaving in all fortifications the American artillery that may be therein; and shall order and cause all archives, records, deeds and papers, belonging to any of the said states, or their citizens, which in the course of the war may have fallen into the hands of his officers, to be forthwith restored and delivered to the proper states and persons to whom they belong." These terms are so strong and explicit, that a person in search after truth, could not raise a doubt on them, whether it did or did not contain a stipulation, against the carrying off the negroes who had been taken prior to the treaty of peace. And although the British commanders carried off these negroes contrary to this part of the treaty, they manifestly considered it in that point of view because as I have been well informed, they actually delivered up some of them at Charleston to their masters; because they submitted to the American commissioners taking a list of them, and because they used fraud to make that list as small as possible. But although a man in search of truth, could not doubt as to the meaning of these words, the British negotiator not only raised a doubt concerning that meaning, but also convinced Jay, that the construction which all the world had before that time put upon that clause, was a wrong one; and that the British were guilty of no violation of the treaty in carrying away those negroes. I have also been informed from such authority, that I cannot doubt the truth of the fact, that Jay in his journal of the transactions which passed during the negotiation with Lord Grenville (which journal was laid before the Senate) states, that in a conference with his Lordship respecting the proposed treaty, Jay proposed to him, that it should contain an article, making satisfaction to the American citizens, for these negroes; that Lord Grenville objected to the insertion of such an article, because as he said,
the treaty of '83 did not intend to prohibit the British from carrying away such negroes as they had got into their possession prior to the treaty; because they by that possession became British property, and ceased to be American property; as much as horses or cows did, which they had got into their possession before the treaty; and that the treaty only intended to prohibit the British, from carrying off such negroes, as they might take after the treaty. And he added, that it would be derogatory to the British honor, to give the treaty such a construction, as would oblige them to give up these negroes, to their former masters, after having promised them their freedom, if they would join the British standard. And Jay concluded this subject by saying, that this reasoning had such weight on his mind, as to induce him to relinquish the proposition, for the insertion of such a clause. The friends to the treaty in the Senate advocated Lord Grenville's reasoning and construction of the treaty, and called upon John Adams one of the persons who made the treaty of '83, to know if that construction was not the proper one: He declared in the Senate, that that was not the proper construction of the treaty; that that clause was introduced for the express purpose, of preventing the British from carrying away the negroes that had been taken before the treaty; and that the clause was so understood by all parties; and added, that it could not be supposed to mean such negroes as might be taken after the treaty, because that would have been inserting an article in the treaty, upon a supposition, that the British would break it, as soon as they had made it; and he further added, that although he did not believe that Mr. Oswald the British negotiator knew, that the British officers had made such promises to the negroes, that could make no difference in the construction of this article, which was intended and understood by both parties, to oblige the British to give up those negroes. In addition to the evidence arising from the expressions used in the treaty, and from Mr. Adams's observations, it is plain from what is said as to the artillery, records, &c. in the same clause, that there could be no such distinction as to what should be taken afterwards, intended by the clause; as the artillery, &c. meant by that clause, was clearly such as had been taken by the British before the treaty. But notwithstanding all this, and the positive words of the treaty, which wanted no explanation, the Senate approved of Jay's treaty, and by that means gave their sanction to Lord Grenville's construction of the treaty of '83, of Jay's conviction of the justice of that construction, and of his voluntary abandonment of our claim, for satisfaction for those negroes. If the Senate were induced to do this by a tenderness for the honor of the British nation, which they feared would be wounded by an acknowledgement, that these negroes had been carried off contrary to the treaty of '83; they ought to have had some little regard to the honor of their own country, upon which they have now fixed the stigma, of having unjustly for twelve years, accused the British with having violated the treaty in that instance. And they ought not to have carried their complaisance so far, at the expence of hundreds of their fellow citizens, who must be ruined by this shameful abandonment of their just claims.
This statement proves that if agreeably to Burr's and Tazewell's propositions, the ratification of the treaty had been postponed, until new negotiations on this and other proper subjects, could have been entered into; there would have been no danger of a rupture with Great Britain. For altho' Lord Grenville did not propose this subject again, after Jay had relin-
quished it, and declared himself convinced of the impropriety of the demand; there can be no doubt if the Senate had insisted on it, that a more faithful negotiator, would have obtained a demand, so just upon the face of it.
To determine on the propriety of the treaty's having passed over this subject in silence, we ought to place ourselves in the situation, of those who are injured by it. It is a well known fact, that in the southern States, the greater part of the debts due to British merchants, was caused by the purchase of slaves. These slaves were taken during the war by their king: at the peace it was agreed that the debt should be paid, & the negroes restored; it was not done; and in a second treaty it is again declared that the debt shall be paid, but the claim for the negroes is abandoned; so that after the British have got the property, for which the debt was originally incurred, they are to receive the debt also, with twenty years interest on it. It will readily occur to all that this must be unjust as to those who have lost their negroes, and are debtors also; and if it is so as to them, it must also be unjust as to the United States, who are to stand in their shoes, and pay for their supposed default; when in justice and equity, they are not indebted to any British subject. If it is said that the British creditor ought not to suffer by the improper conduct of his king, it is decisive against this article of the treaty, because this calls on the people of the United States at large, to pay an enormous sum for the supposed misconduct of the governments of some of the States. Admitting the fact of their misconduct to be true, the short state of the case is this. A. a British merchant sells B. an American citizen in 1775, a negro for an hundred pounds: the British king seizes that negro in '80—in '83 it is agreed that B. shall pay A. his debt, and that the king shall return B. his negro; neither is done, and the noncompliance causes great disputes between the two governments, and it is agreed that they shall settle those disputes by a new treaty. One is accordingly held, by which, the American government is made to pay two hundred pounds to A. for the negro; the British king keeps the negro, and B. is called upon by the American government, either to pay the whole two hundred pounds as his proper debt, or to pay his proportion of it, as a citizen of the United States, who have taken the debt on themselves, to make satisfaction to the subjects of the British king, for our breach of the treaty; when he had been guilty of one as great, for which he was to make no satisfaction at all. This was the more unreasonable and unjust, because the government of the United States, could not have prevented any such improper conduct, in the legislatures of the different States. But the king of Great Britain could have prevented the improper conduct of his officers. Yet not contented with this, this treaty has given the British subjects, more than they were entitled to under the treaty of '83, as in the cases of infolvencies provided for by Jay's treaty, and the interest which they are to receive during the American war.
I wish our fellow citizens to consider these observations seriously, and then determine for themselves, what they ought to think of those men, who have consented to a treaty, which has totally omitted the making of any satisfaction to such a number of American citizens; and which has pledged the United States to pay so large a sum, as a satisfaction to British subjects; to part of which sum they had no claim at all, and to the other part no better title, than the American citizens had, to the satisfaction claimed by them, but which the treaty did not give them.
