MISCELLANY.
HINT TO ECONOMY.
At a time of general scarcity, the great Emperor, Achar went to visit the tomb of a Saint, buried at Corbana, near Delhi. On his return he alighted at a house on the road to rest himself. While conversing there with his Vizier, he perceived at his foot a grain of corn. The Monarch, whose mind was constantly occupied with the sufferings of his people, took it up, gave it to his Vizier, desiring him to sow it, and to render him an account every year of its produce. At the end of ten years it had so multiplied, that, after making large distributions among the poor, the surplus sold by order of the Emperor, was sufficient to defray the expense of the building of a Mosque. Achar erected it on the spot where he had found the grain of corn, wishing thus to render thanks to the goodness of the Omnipotent, and leave to posterity a monument of the fruits of industry and perseverance.
A beautiful Manuscript of St. Jerome's Version of the Four Gospels, was lately discovered in the Convent of St. Maximin, at Mentz. It is supposed to have been written in the eighth century; and is one of the most literary curiosities that ever engaged the attention of the learned.
From the Salem Gazette.
It appears by the London papers that fears are entertained that the English possessions in India may be invaded by the "Autocrat of Russia." I therefore send you the following article extracted from a publication of Mr. Eaton, who was sometime a diplomatic agent at St. Petersburg, from St. James's. The author informs us that it is an
"Extract, from original documents, of a project which the Empress of Russia had formed to attack the English in India."
"When the British fleet was about to sail for the Baltic [This was in the Spring of 1791] to force the Empress to make peace, Prince Nassau, who was then in favor with her Imperial Majesty, presented a 'project' of sending an army through Bochara to Cashmir, and thence to Bengal, to drive the English out of India. This project was conceived, and drawn up, by a Monsieur de St. Genie, the person whose agents set fire to the Dutch arsenal, &c. and had formed a similar project for destroying the British dockyards, ships, &c."
"By a manifesto to be published, the Empress declared that she sent the army to re-establish the Mogul on the throne of India."
"Little difficulty was foreseen in passing through Bochara; it was even hoped, seeing the object was to re-establish on the throne of India a Prince of their religion, that they would be friendly to the enterprise: however, were they not, little apprehension was entertained of a people so disunited among themselves, and who tremble at the name of Russia."
St. Genie pretended, that there were passes through the mountains, and that he had people who had been in the country, sent by M. de Vergennes. He presented with his project a map, and a march route for the army.
"The Empress highly approved the plan; Prince Potemkin turned it into ridicule, because he did not with a serious quarrel with the English—[whom he always favored, even so much as to wish his mistress to make a common cause against American independence.] Had a war taken place, it is difficult to say what the Empress might not have undertaken, if not effected, at that period. They counted on their being joined in the north of India by the discontented from all parts."
To shew the degree of credit, which the account of the foregoing 'project' merits, it is only necessary to state, that Mr. Eaton was so high in confidence at St. Petersburg that he was employed by Prince Potemkin to draw up "The state of the finances of Russia."
The causes which produced this hostile disposition between the English and Russians, were these; the Empress of Russia and the Emperor of Germany had entered into "a convention to divide the Turkish dominions in Europe." The Russians had been very successful in executing this convention, and had taken several places bordering on the Black Sea, which opened to them the commerce of the Mediterranean. This circumstance the English viewed with a jealous eye. The King of Prussia too, whose policy it ever is to cramp the House of Austria, could not be unconcerned at the probable increase of her territory; he therefore, in the spring of 1791, raised an army of 150,000 men, and posted them in a threatening posture upon the borders of Bohemia. At the same time the English were preparing a fleet to send into the Baltic, to force the Empress to make peace with the Turks; whether they knew the existence of the "Project," or not, they thought negotiation preferable to hostility; accordingly Mr. Fawkener (probably the same, who lately underigned the "orders of the King in Council" respecting Russian property) was sent to St. Petersburg, and an accommodation with the parties concerned was the consequence. If the sagacious Catharine approved this "project," ought we to be surprised, if the Quixotic Paul should attempt to execute it—especially as he is much better prepared for an expedition of this kind, than his predecessor. She knew that her Polish subjects would willingly break the yoke, if they would not draw their necks out of the bows; she also knew that the King of Prussia would like another bite at Poland, although he took a large slice at the first carving. Paul is differently circumstanced; his dominion in Poland is tolerably well established; he is upon good terms with Prussia and the other Northern Powers; his army is much larger and better disciplined, amounting, in January 1795, "according to the Registers of the College of war, from the reports of the different corps," to 688,332 men in pay. In 1796, 150,000 recruits were raised for the infantry."
Considering all these circumstances we should not be surprised, if the Quixotic Paul should send an army to invade India—as the Russian policy is to lay hands upon every place commercially important.
PHILO-POLITIAS.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Treaty of Peace, BETWEEN FRANCE AND GERMANY.
His Majesty the Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French People, being equally desirous to put an end to the miseries of War, have resolved to proceed to the conclusion of a definitive Treaty of Peace and Friendship.
His said Imperial and Royal Majesty, not less earnestly desiring that the Germanic Empire should participate in the blessings of peace; and the present circumstances not allowing the time necessary to consult the Empire, and for its deputies to take part in the negotiation; his said Majesty also, considering what had been agreed to by the Deputation of the Empire at the Congress of Rastadt, has resolved in conformity to the practice in similar circumstances, to stipulate in the name of the Germanic Body.
In consequence whereof, the contracting parties have appointed as their Plenipotentiaries, viz.
His Imperial Majesty, the Sieur Louis, Count of the Golden Fleece, Grand Cross of the Royal Order of St. Stephen, and of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Chamberlain, and now Privy Counsellor of his said Imperial and Royal Majesty, his Minister of Conferences, and Vice Chancellor of Court and State:—
And the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French People, Citizen Joseph Bonaparte, Counsellor of State:—
Who, after exchanging their full powers, have agreed to the following Articles:
Article I. In future, and forever, there shall be peace, amity, and good understanding between his Majesty the Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia, stipulating alike in his own name and in that of the Germanic Empire, and the French Republic; his said Majesty engaging to procure the ratification of the present Treaty by the said Empire, in good and due form. The utmost attention shall be used on both sides to maintain perfect harmony, and to prevent every kind of hostility by sea and land, and from whatever cause or under whatever pretext, carefully exerting themselves to preserve the union so happily re-established. No assistance or protection shall be given, directly or indirectly, to those who attempt to injure either of the contracting parties.
II. The cession of the late Belgick Provinces to the French Republic, stipulated in the third article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, is herein renewed in the most formal manner; inasmuch that his Imperial and Royal Majesty, for himself and his successors, and alike in his own name, and in that of the Germanic Empire, renounces all his rights and titles to the said Provinces, which shall be possessed in perpetuity, and in full sovereignty and property by the French Republic, with all the territorial possessions depending on them.
His Imperial and Royal Majesty, with the formal consent of the Empire, cedes in like manner to the French Republic—
1. The County of Falkenstein, with its dependencies.
2. The Frichthal, and all the territory of the House of Austria situated on the left bank of the Rhine, between Zurzach and Baie; the French Republic reserving to herself the power of ceding the latter country to the Helvetic Republic.
III. In like manner, and in renewal and confirmation of the Vth article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, his Majesty the Emperor and King shall possess, in complete sovereignty and property, the undermentioned territories, viz.
Istria, Dalmatia, and the late Venetian Isles in the Adriatic thereon depending; the mouths of the Cattaro, and the city of Venice; the Lagunas and the countries lying between the Hereditary States of his Majesty the Emperor and King, and the Adriatic sea and the Adige, from the point where it leaves the Tyrole until where it flows into that sea. The Thalweg of the Adige shall form the line of demarcation; and as the said line will divide the cities of Verona and Porto Legnago into two parts, on the middle of the bridges of these cities there shall be established draw-bridges to mark the line of separation.
IV. The 18th article of the Treaty of Campo Formio is also renewed, in so far as his Majesty the Emperor and King engages to cede to the Duke of Modena, as an indemnification for the country which this Prince and his heirs had in Italy, the Brisgau, which he will possess on the same conditions as those by virtue of which he possessed the Modenese.
V. It is further agreed that his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany shall renounce for himself and his successors the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and the Isle d'Elbe depending thereon, as well as all right and titles resulting therefrom, which shall henceforth be possessed in full sovereignty and property by his Royal Highness the infant Duke of Parma. The Grand Duke shall obtain a full indemnity for his Italian States in Germany. He shall dispose of his personal and private property as he may think proper. All debts, establishments, &c. of the Grand Duchy, with the sums due mortgaged on the country, shall pass to the new Grand Duke.
VI. His Majesty the Emperor and King, as well in his own name as in that of the Germanic Empire, consents that the French Republic shall henceforth possess in full sovereignty and property the countries and domains situate on the left bank of the Rhine, and which form part of the Germanic Empire; so that conformably to what had been expressly consented to at the Congress of Rastadt, by the Deputies of the Empire, and approved by the Emperor, the Thalweg of the Rhine shall henceforth be the boundary between the French Republic and the Germanic Empire, viz. from the spot where the Rhine quits the Helvetic territory, to that where it enters the Batavian territory.
In consequence whereof, the French Republic formally renounces all possessions on the right bank of the Rhine, and consents to restore to those to whom they belong, the fortresses of Dusseldorf, Ehrenbreitstein, Philipsburg, the fort of Cassel and other fortifications about Mentz on the right bank, the fort of Kehl and Old Brissac, on express condition, that all these places remain in the state they shall be found at the time of their evacuation.
VII. And as in consequence of the cession which the Empire makes to the French Republic, several Princes and States of the Empire are particularly dispossessed, in whole or in part, whilst it remains with the Germanic Empire collectively to support the losses resulting from the stipulations of the present Treaty, it is agreed between his Majesty the Emperor and King, as well in his own name as in that of the Germanic Empire, and the French Republic, that in conformity to the principles formerly established at Rastadt, the Empire shall be bound to give to such Hereditary Princes as are dispossessed on the left bank of the Rhine an indemnity, which shall be taken from the dominions of the said Empire according to the arrangements which shall be hereafter determined, agreeably to this basis.
[The Articles, 8, 9, and 10 relate to the Debts and Sequestrations in the ceded Countries.]
XI. The present Treaty is declared common to the Batavian, Helvetic, Ligurian, and Cisalpine Republics.
The contracting parties mutually guarantee the in-
dependence of the said Republics, and the right of their inhabitants to adopt such form of Government as they may think proper.
XII. His Imperial and Royal Majesty renounces for himself and his successors, in favor of the Cisalpine Republic, all the rights and titles arising from these rights which his Majesty might pretend to possess, to all the countries which he possessed before the war, and which according to the terms of the 8th article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, now constitute part of the Cisalpine Republic, which shall possess them in full sovereignty and property, with all the territorial estates that depend upon them.
XIII. His Imperial and Royal Majesty, as well in his own name as in that of the Germanic Empire, confirms the annexation already agreed to by the Treaty of Campo Formio, of the ci-devant Imperial Fiefs to the Ligurian Republic, and renounces, all the rights and titles arising from these rights on the said Fiefs.
XIV. In conformity to the 11th article of the Treaty of Campo Formio, the navigation of the Adige, constituting the limits between his Imperial Majesty and King, and the Cisalpine Republic, shall be free, without the establishment of any duties or impositions on either side, and without stationing on it any armed vessel.
XV. All the prisoners of war made on both sides, as well as hostages either carried off or given during the war, who may not have been yet restored, shall be returned within forty days from the date of the signing of the present Treaty.
XVI.

Done and Signed at Luneville, 20th Pluviose, ninth year of the French Republic. (9th Feb 1801.) LOUIS COUNT COBENTZEL, JOSEPH BONAPARTE.
One of the articles in the Treaty of Campo Formio, alluded to in the above treaty, states, that a Treaty of Commerce shall be forthwith concluded between those powers.
Message of the Consuls, addressed to the Legislative Body and the Tribunate.
The Continental Peace has been signed at Luneville. It is such as the French People wished. Their first wish was the limit of the Rhine. Never did they flatter their resolution—Victory never added to their pretensions.
After having re-established the ancient limits of Gaul, they had to give liberty to the People who were united to them by one common origin, and by the community of interests and of manners.
The Liberty of the Cisalpines and of Ligurians is secured.
After this duty, there was another, which justice and generosy imposed.
The King of Spain had been faithful to our cause, and had suffered for us. Neither our reverses, nor the perfidious insinuations of our enemies, could detach him from our interests—he will have a just recompense, a prince of his blood will sit on the throne of Tuscany.
He will remember that he owes to the fidelity of Spain, and to the friendship of France: his roadfield and his ports will be shut against our enemies, and will become the asylum of our commerce and our ships.
Austria—and it is that which is the pledge of peace—Austria, henceforth separated from France by vast regions, will no longer feel that rivalry, that heart-burnings, which, for so many ages, have occasioned the torment of these two powers, and the calamities of Europe.
By this Treaty, every thing is settled with respect to France—it will no longer have to struggle against the forms and the intrigues of a Congress.
The Government owes the expression of its satisfaction to the Minister Plenipotentiary who has conducted this negotiation to this happy termination. There remain neither interpretations to be feared, nor explanations to be demanded, nor those equivocal arrangements, in which the diplomatic art deposits the seeds of a new war.
Wherefore was not this Treaty the Treaty of a General Peace? This was the wish of France! This the constant object of the Government.
But all its efforts are in vain. All Europe knows that the British Minister has endeavoured to frustrate the negotiations at Luneville.
In vain did an agent, authorized by the Government, declared to him on the 9th of October, 1800, that France was ready to enter with him upon a separate negotiation. This declaration only obtained a refusal, under the pretext that England could not abandon her ally. Since that, when this ally consents to treat without England, that Government seeks other means to delay a peace, so necessary to the world.
It violates Conventions, which humanity had consecrated, and declares war against miserable fishermen.
It raises pretensions contrary to the dignity and the rights of all nations. The noble commerce of Asia, and of immense colonies, does not satisfy its ambition. All the seas must be submitted to the exclusive sovereignty of England. It arms against Russia, Denmark and Sweden, because Russia Sweden and Denmark have secured, by Treaties of guaranty, their sovereignty, and the independence of their flags.
The Powers of the North, unjustly attacked, have a right to reckon upon France. The French Government will avenge with them, a common injury to all nations, without ever losing sight, however, that it ought only to fight for peace, and for the good of the world.
The first Consul, (Signed) BONAPARTE. By the first Consul, The Secretary of State, H. B. Maret.
HAMBURGH, FEB. 10.—If the English Embargo on Danish and Swedish vessels is not taken off, it is believed that Hanover and Hamburg will be occupied by Prussian troops.
The intelligence that an English frigate has cut out several Swedish vessels from Norway causes great sensation here, as it is considered as a formal rupture between England and Sweden. Denmark,
on the contrary, endeavours to ward off the blow, and has nothing so much at heart as to keep on good terms with England.
LONDON, MARCH 3.—A reconciliation, it is said, has taken place between the Emperor of Russia and King of Denmark, and hostile preparations proceed with activity in the North.
A most formidable armament will be ready to sail much sooner than the coalesced powers can be in a condition to receive them handsomely.—Elsinburg and Elsinour, it is generally believed, will be the first in that quarter to taste of the British thunder; and Copenhagen, about 8 leagues distant, will probably be honored with an early visit.
MARCH 4.—Mr. Pitt has intimated to the Governor of the Bank, that he means to keep the Seas, and continue in office until he can resign his trust into the hands of his Majesty.
It is said that Mr. Pitt had a long audience of the Prince of Wales, in consequence of a request transmitted to Carleton House in the morning. The object of the wish was to represent to the Prince his own peculiar situation, together with that of the country, in consequence of the King's sudden and unexpected indisposition, and to submit to his Royal Highness the measures he considered necessary to be taken. It was true that he had tendered his resignation to his Majesty; that the resignation had been graciously accepted, and publicly announced, and that he had remained in office for several days past, for the specific purpose of facilitating that part of the public business, which had come most immediately under his observation & department. The conclusion, however, was, that notwithstanding all that had passed, he was still de facto in office, and he thought it his duty to hold his situation until his Majesty's recovery, or until some other disposition of affairs.
LONDON, MARCH 3.—Accounts are said to have been received by the Admiralty, that the French squadron from Brest had been seen off Malaga, steering East. If this information be correct, their destination is Egypt. If Sir Robert Calder should not overtake them, Lord Keith has, off the coast of Egypt, a force more than equal to cope with them.
MARCH 4.—Accounts from Paris to the 26th ult. state the recall of Mr. Otto, in consequence of the order of our government to capture all French fishermen, on the ground of their having been put in requisition to equip and arm the fleet at Brest; but Mr. Talleyrand's letter, declares, that the French government will not make reprisals on our fishermen.
COULAND, JAN. 22. The preparations for war are continued with great activity in Russia. An army will be embarked, which, in conjunction with other powers, and especially with a French army, will endeavor to effect a landing in Ireland.
Ratisbon, (Germany) FEB. 13. Several public prints report that Gen. Lecourbe, with 30,000 men, will march against Turkey.
LONDON, MARCH 4. M. de Kalserhew, the Russian Ambassador, arrived the 23d February at Paris.
Letters from Vienna state that Count Cobenzel is appointed Ambassador on the part of the Emperor to the French Republic.
Mr. Fox attended his duty in the British Parliament, the 3d March.
The new Loan has been contracted in Great Britain. It amounts to 28 millions; and the terms are stated to be less than 6 per cent. The new taxes for paying the interest are to be laid on teas, paper, printed cottons, sugar, deals, slaves, pepper, horses, flamps, and postage.
Domestic Affairs.
THOMAS JEFFERSON, President of the United States of America. To all whom it may Concern.
The Citizen Louis Andre Pichon having produced to me his Commission as Commissary General of Commercial relations for the French Republic within the United States, I do hereby recognize him as such, and declare him free to exercise and enjoy such functions, powers and privileges, as are allowed within the United States to the Consuls of the most favored nations.
In testimony whereof I have caused these letters to be made patent and the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed.
Given under my hand at the City of Washington, this nineteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and one, and of the Independence of the United States the twenty-sixth.
By the President, THOMAS JEFFERSON. LEVI LINCOLN, Acting as Secretary of State.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. GENERAL ORDERS.
Head-Quarters, March 31, 1801.
Officers and Soldiers of the Militia of Massachusetts, THE safety and welfare of the United States essentially depend on the good order, regularity, and discipline of the militia; and as your exertions the last season have fully proved how highly you eliminate these qualifications, it is reasonable to presume that those exertions will be continued and increased.
The militia is now considered as the great security of the United States, their chief military defence, and the nursery of their future Generals and Armies. Do not therefore disappoint the confident expectations of your fellow citizens, and of the government.
The laws prescribe to you many useful and necessary regulations which demand your particular attention. These and "the Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States," every Officer in the militia is required by law to possess. Study to acquire a thorough knowledge of this system, and learn practically its application when in the field, that by combining theory with practice you may be safely relied upon by your country.
The frequent exercise of arms is necessary to form a good soldier, that by habit their use may become familiar—to this end assemble often in small bodies for instruction and let your exercise be your amusement. Burnish your arms and inspect your accoutrements, that they may always be fit for the field—Resolve to improve in military skill, and sufficient opportunity will present for that purpose without injury to your respective employments.
Be united in your several corps, and banish from you all causes of dissension—emulate each other in your martial efforts, that by unity of principle and action the most noble object of your ambition may be attained, the security of your country.
To know how to command, it is first necessary to learn to obey—Be prompt in executing all orders you receive, be vigilant in the discharge of your several duties, and patient and persevering in acquiring a thorough knowledge of the military system established by law—Discipline, laboration and union, are indispensably requisite in all military bodies; and in proportion as these prevail or decline, the public force of the Commonwealth will be augmented or diminished.
Officers and Soldiers of Massachusetts, you already number sixty thousand men of the Militia Army of the United States. But remember that discipline alone can make you formidable—without it, numbers will rather lessen than increase your strength—Shew yourselves therefore worthy of the high confidence reposed in you by your country, by a full display of your military virtues.

The Commanding Officers of Corps will be particularly attentive to their returns, that they be accurate and made in due time—those of the Cavalry and Artillery as well as of the Infantry. The Major Generals will see that their respective divisions are completely organized, and will issue their orders for the annual musters and reviews as the law directs. In every division where the Major General is absent, or there is a vacancy in that office, the senior Brigadier General will take the command of the division, and execute all the functions of a commanding officer thereof during such absence, or until the office of Major General shall be filled.
The Quarter Master General will supply the companies of Artillery with the necessary laboratory stores, and each of them with fifty pounds of powder for the year, to be expended at the several Musters as the General Officers shall direct. By Order of the Commander in Chief, WM. DONNISON. Adjutant General.
Portland, MONDAY, APRIL 13, 1801.
THE MAIL. Did not furnish any late news of moment. The Treaty of Peace between France and Germany, and other foreign articles inserted this day, will be found interesting.
Choice of Governor, &c. The following is a statement of the votes for Governor, in such towns as have been heard from in this District. Most of them are authentic.
 Strong Gerry Strong Gerry  Portland 160 81 Poland 64 58  Falmouth 55 106 Paris 16 50  New Gloucester 94 19 Gray 14 32  Brunswick 147 9 Cape-Elizabeth 2 33  Topsham 82 8 Wells 165 22  Gorham 102 41 Arundell 44 30  Scarborough 37 97 Buxton 45 103  North Yarmouth 196 16 Windham 85 12  Standish 33 75 Georgetown 54 29  Harpswell 50 •  Norway 41 13 TOTAL, 1486 835 
 AT THE WESTWARD.  Boston 1851 2078 Salem  Brookline 36 46 Beverly  Cambridge 135 201 Danvers  Newton 97 59 Marblehead  Watertown 20 114 Topsham  Dorchester 84 184 Mancheffer  Dedham 48 201 Gloucester  Roxbury 92 291 Newburyport  Charlestown 173 289 Newbury  Walsbam 54 57 Salisbury  Amesbury  TOTAL, 
These towns, with the addition of 67 more in the counties of Suffolk, Norfolk, Middlesex, Plymouth, Bristol, Essex, and Worcester, received by the last mail, give Mr. Strong 8335—Mr. Gerry 9340—which added to the twenty towns in this District, leave the present total, FOR STRONG, 9821.—FOR GERRY, 10175.
FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. In almost every town, the Hon. SAMUEL PHILLIPS has the federal votes. General HEATH has been generally voted for on the Gerry ticket.
SENATORS FOR CUMBERLAND.
The Hon. Stephen Longfellow, is undoubtedly chosen by the people. The principal candidates to supply the place of Mr. Davis, were Woodbury Storer, and Samuel P. Russell, Esqrs. who have nearly an equal number of votes in the towns which have been heard from. It is probable therefore, these gentlemen will be candidates at the Legislative choice. From the county of York, and the Eastern counties, no certain information is yet received, respecting Senators. As there were many candidates, most likely there is no choice.
The votes, published this day, are from Mr. Gerry's "strong holds," which will easily account for his majority. No returns are yet received from the interior counties, where Mr. Strong is thoroughly known, and where he may calculate on a very liberal vote in his favor. In this District, Mr. Strong will most probably have a considerable majority. So that the public may rationally expect that the virtuous and amiable Governor Strong will fill the chair the ensuing year.

FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN.
BOSTON, APRIL 9. Capt. Lovett, arrived here yesterday from Alicante, informs, that he fell in with the French squadron, which escaped out of Brest, about 20 leagues on the Barbary coast, bound up the Mediterranean; that he spoke an American vessel who had been boarded by the above squadron, and treated politely. Capt. Lovett further informs, that the U. S. ship George Washington , captain Bainbridge, had returned from Constantinople, to Algiers, and after tarrying there a short time was suffered to proceed home, she brought a number of French prisoners from that place to Alicante, and failed from thence with the Rover, and several other American vessels, which she conveyed. The crew were in good health. All American vessels bound up the Mediterranean are compelled to ride quarantine for forty days, before they are permitted to enter any port. Since the rupture between England and the Northern Powers, upwards of 300 sail of Swedish and Danish vessels have been sent into Gibraltar.
Orders were issued at the War Office at Washington on Wednesday last night, for the Herald sloop of war, now at Boston, to sail immediately, to call in the cruisers of the United States on the West-India station. All letters of marque, against the vessels of the French Republic are null and void.
NEWYORK, MARCH 30. Captain Noyes of the Revenue, arrived here yesterday, in four days from Norfolk, informs that a very serious dispute took place there yesterday week, between part of the crew of the French frigate Semillante , and a number of British and American sailors on shore, in which between 20 and 30 of the former were killed and wounded. Capt. Noyes saw two of the French killed.

Resolved, That there be, and hereby is granted to each noncommissioned officer and soldier, who enlisted into the late American Army to serve during the War with Great Britain, and who was returned as a part of the States' quota of said Army, who did actually serve in said Army, the full term of three years, and who were honorably discharged; and unto the children, if any there be; if not, to the Widow of such noncommissioned officer and soldier, and to them only, who enlisted as aforesaid and died in said services, two hundred acres, to be laid out at the expense of the Commonwealth, as soon as there shall appear a number sufficient to take up a quantity of Land that shall be equal to one township of six miles square, to be divided and appropriated under such regulations as the General Court shall hereafter prescribe, within the following limits, viz. Beginning at the north east corner of the land now appropriated by the Committee for the sale of Eastern Lands, on the eastern line of this Commonwealth, thence running West, six miles, thence northerly in a line parallel with the said eastern line until a tract shall be completed sufficient for each noncommissioned officer and private soldier, their children or widows as aforesaid, to have the aforesaid quantity of two hundred acres, or twenty dollars as an equivalent for the aforesaid two hundred acres, to be paid out of the Treasury to the Selectmen of the Town, where any such noncommissioned officer or soldier, their children or widows as aforesaid, resides for his or their own use and benefit.
And be it further resolved, That where any such noncommissioned officer, or soldier, has deceased, or shall deceased, before he shall get possession of the land hereby granted to him, his children or widow as aforesaid, shall be entitled to the same, and in order to secure to said noncommissioned officers and privates and their children and widows as aforesaid, the benefit of this grant.
It is further resolved, That all deeds, mortgages, or conveyances of or bonds of contracts of every description concerning any of the said lands, which may be made by any such noncommissioned officer or private, his children or widow, before the same shall be laid out, and have a settlement made thereon, and five acres thereof shall have been brought under improvement shall be null and void.
