NATIONAL CONVENTION, December 4.
OFFICIAL LETTER From the Representative of the people with the army of the Eastern Pyrenees.
St. Fernando de Figueres, November 28.
Citizen Colleagues,
The 20th was signalized with one of the most brilliant victories ever obtained by the armies of the Republic. Imagine every obstacle that nature and art could unite; imagine from 80 to 100 redoubts on positions the most advantageous, full of cannon, and forming several lines of defence; imagine from 30 to 40,000 men distributed in these forts and entrenchments, the labor of six months; imagine all these redoubts, the artillery and musketry that defended them; imagine 80 volcanoes at once vomiting fire and iron—well all these were carried in less than 3 hours. Our battalions advanced amid musketry and grape shot, and did every thing with the bayonet. No prisoners were taken; all were put to the sword; three Spanish Generals were killed; one of them attempted to defend himself against Adjutant General Duphat, who run his sword through his body. Count de L'Union, the Commander in chief of the Spanish army, was found dead on the field of battle: We send you his military decorations.
In our letter of the 18th, we informed you that we had some men killed in the affair of the 17th. The number killed and wounded on the 20th, is much less considerable.—The enemy, repulsed in all parts, fled, and their route was complete. After abandoning to us their camps and artillery, they attempted to make a stand on the heights of Liers, where they had prepared an entrenched camp, under the cannon of Figueres; but they were pursued vigorously; they were obliged to abandon their position, and fly six or seven leagues farther. The same evening their famous fort of St. Fernando de Figueres was invested on all sides, and some battalions turned against the place, the cannon mounted by the enemy for the defence of the camp of Liers. Next day Figueres and Roses were invested. Perignon sent a vigorous summons to the governor of the castle of Figueres to surrender the place. The parley lasted two or three hours. The capitulation was signed yesterday, & to-day the place is in possession of the Republic. The garrison, or rather the army, of 9107 men laid down their arms & surrendered prisoners of war. We found on the ramparts more than 150 pieces of cannon, and immense quantities of provisions in the place. Such Citizen Colleagues, are the consequences of the brilliant days of the 17th and 20th November. Terror is among our enemies. You will judge of it from the surrender of a place so important, and so famous as that of Figueres. We are going to summon Roses; we shall soon inform you of the surrender of it.—The number of prisoners is considerable.

Lexington, April 28.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Richmond to the Editor hereof, dated March 2, 1795.
“On Thursday last, arrived at Norfolk Capt. Blaney, with the instrument of treaty negotiated by Mr. Jay, between Great Britain and America. The public mind is big with expectation. But as this important transaction will not be officially announced to the President, before the dissolution of the present Congress, the Senate must be recalled, which will take some time: before which it is probable the particular articles of this compact cannot be known.—I hope this comes to Kentucky as the forerunner of good news.”

NEW-YORK, March 12.
On Saturday arrived the brig Lydia, Capt. Shackerly, in 56 days from Amsterdam. Letters have been received from thence as late as the 7th January. We have seen those adressed to a respectable house in this city. They, at different dates, state the progress of the French:—That at one time, they crossed the Rhine and the Waal, and drove in the posts established there. It had been afterwards reported at Amsterdam that they had recrossed those rivers; but the Postscript to the last letter of the 7th January, declares all hopes of stopping the progress of the French to be entirely at an end, and that they would undoubtedly be in the city in the course of two or three days—No disturbances had taken place among the inhabitants, who, on the contrary, were calmly waiting their fate.
Capt. Shackerly informs that on the 20th January, in lat. 46, 36, long. 17, he fell in with a fleet of French ships of war, consisting of 21 sail of the line, and 15 frigates, several of which were 74's cut down carrying very heavy metal. That he was boarded by the frigate Thames, who took one French passenger from him; and the Captain of the Thames informed him that they had taken, in their cruise, among others, a fleet of 22 vessels from Cork, bound to the West Indies with provisions.
Extract of a letter, dated Amsterdam, January 12, 1795.
‘We are here groaning under the burdens of the WAR. The French are expected daily, being already at Guilderland. May God give us soon a desirable peace; about which to obtain, two commissioners sent from the States to Paris, are employed.’
March 14. We had had a long dearth of foreign accounts before the arrivals of the Lydia, Shackerly, from Amsterdam, last Saturday, and the Diana, Emmery, in 55 days from Bristol, last Thursday—nor are we now much relieved, for no great event had taken place, and the British Parliament seem as eager for renewed war as ever. Shackerly's Holland accounts are the latest by several days—Frenchmen were pushing for Amsterdam, and the success of the Peace Commissioners was not yet known.
The Diana passed through the French fleet of 32 line of battle ships.—There are accounts of another terrible storm on the British coast, with amazing falls of snow, and great havoc of navigation.
Mr. Devallé, arrived in the Diana last Wednesday, brought dispatches from Mr. Jay, for the executive of the United States; they were immediately transmitted to Philadelphia by express. Mr. Jay was at bath, when Mr. Devallé left it.
Last Wednesday arrived here the brig Eliza, Capt. Noray, 29 days from Kingston (Jam.) who informs, that a few days previous to his sailing, a vessel had arrived from the Gold Coast, and brought accounts of a French 50 gun ship and two frigates having arrived there, and destroyed all the settlements on the Coast, burnt all the shipping, and liberated the slaves.
PHILADELPHIA, February 20.
From a Correspondent.
The Georgia business is of the most alarming nature. If it is not put a stop to, war, not only with the Creeks, but with the Spaniards, is inevitable. The sale of the Western Lands of the United States will be totally defeated.—Thus, an increase, instead of a reduction of the public debt; an extension of hostilities with the most powerful Indian tribes, instead of peace; and the loss of several millions of dollars by the inability of the United States to sell their lands,
will be the fruits of the grasping an insatiable speculation of a few individuals. An enquiry into this business is indispensable; and if those who ought to cherish the tranquility of the United States, and who are among the peculiar guardians of its welfare and peace, are concerned in it, they ought to forfeit their stations, and their stations, and their country's confidence.
Extract of a letter from a respectable citizen in one of the Southern States, dated the 7th January, 1795.
‘We are informed that monstrous speculations are carrying on in Georgia in Lands, and that 'tis probable that State will dispose of millions of acres at a low price to many persons, some of whom are in high responsible situations. What may be the issue I know not; but it appears to me to be a business of great consequence, and involving immense mischiefs. It is a subject well worthy of consideration, and, if possible, a legislative interposition. If the sales are made, Heaven and Earth will be moved to involve the Union in a war with the Indian tribes who occupy the lands.’
BALTIMORE, March 9.
A correspondent assures us upon good authority, and the information must gladden many a heart, that a treaty of some kind is either concluded or at least in forwardness with the Dey of Algiers for the redemption of our captive citizens. He has refused, it appears, money in ransom, but is to receive a quantity of arms, cannon and military stores. The legislature has just passed an act to legalize the exportation of such articles for this purpose, in order to enable the executive to comply with the stipulation. [Aurora.]
ANNAPOLIS, March 12.
On Tuesday the 3d instant, both houses of Congress adjourned sine die. The first session of the next Congress agreeable to the Constitution will commence on the first Monday of December next.
Summonses are issued to the Senators of the United States to convene at the seat of government the eighth day of June next.
THE WESTERN POSTS.
Which have so long been a bone of contention between the United States and Great-Britain, and which are to be delivered up to the American arms in June 1796, are four in number, viz.
Oswego, at the entrance of Lake Ontario, where the British have a company of foot, and a custom house, to prevent illicit trade in furs, &c.
Niagara, on the same lake, about 190 miles.—This fort stands in a commanding situation, on a point formed by the junction of the river, and is a regular fortification, in good repair, and well garrisoned.
Detroit, about 200 miles west of Niagara, is situate on the east side of the straits between Lake Erie and Huron, where there is a handsome town, regular fortifications, and a strong garrison.
Michilimackinac is to the northward of Detroit, about 350 miles, on an island between Lake Huron and Michigan, an entire bed of gravel, incapable of cultivation, but most remarkable for being the general depot and grand rendezvous of all the Indian traders, who meet in the month of June, from every quarter, to deliver their furs, and receive their outfits for the ensuing year.
Besides these, Fort Miami, built by Col. Campbell, is also within our lines, and will be given up.
SALEM, Feb. 17.
Mr. Schmidt, a skillful paper manufacturer at Hasenberg, near Lunenburg, has made several lots of paper from the seed-pods of the
Agelepias syriaca. From the inner white skin of the capsule, mixed with a third part of rags, he made good writing paper, tolerably white, and resembling Chinese paper. The plant was given him by Commissary Schulze, who cultivated it for that purpose. From the outer green capsule alone, he made a greenish paper which when sized was stronger than paper made of rags, and extremely close and velumy, and utilized was so strong and close as not to let ink through. From the stalks of the plant he made a paper very like that made from linen rags, and scarcely distinguishable from it. The second kind above mentioned will be found very useful for packing paper, and, what is of more importance, paper made from this plant can be rendered at half price of that made of rags. [This plant abounds in Levant, is found in Spain, and near Paris, and is found also in Canada.]
NORFOLK, February 28
Thursday night arrived the ship Thomas, Capt. Vickery, from London, after a passage of eleven weeks.—In the Thomas came Capt. Blaney who was charged with dispatches from Mr. Jay to the President of the United States; he set off express immediately on his landing to Philadelphia.
Capt. Vickery says, that the treaty between Great Britain and America, was generally reported in London as very favorable to this country.
TRENTON, March 17.
The Messenger (with the treaty from England via New-York) arrived at Philadelphia last Thursday.
