PORTLAND, (Mass.) February 9. BARCELONA TAKEN.
Captain George Barker, in the French frigate Hannah, belonging to M c Alister, arrived here the 4th instant in thirty days from Lisbon. Three days before Captain Barker failed, an express arrived at Lisbon with intelligence that the French had positively taken Barcelona, after a battle which lasted three days. The commanders of both armies were killed.
Captain Barker was at Bilboa a short time before; and while there about 2000 of the French attacked a city defended by 5000 Spaniards, within 25 miles of that place; took it, and pillaged every kind of public property, and then left it.
It was the general opinion at Bilboa, that that place will be taken by the French as soon as the spring opens.—At the very name of a Frenchman the Spaniards turn pale.
Captain Barker heard nothing said respecting peace.
NEW-YORK, February 24.
By the papers annexed to the report of the late Secretary of the Treasury, it appears that the balance due from the United States to the French Government on the first of January last, was, exclusive of interest on loans, 12 millions 188 thousand livres; about 2 millions 377 thousand and 600 dollars. The anticipated payments, or sums paid to the French before they fall due, amount to 1,811 959 livres: about 352, 392 dollars.
BALTIMORE, February 11.
The London Star of December 9, under the Dantzic head, after detailing the circumstances of the Marquis La Fayette's escape, adds: But by letters from Brellau of the 18th, we learn, that they had separated, the marquis had already reached Brannschweig, near Sternberg, where he was discovered in consequence of his liberality to the postmaster, and that he is at present again secured at Olmutz. The doctor has also been taken up at Schweidnitz in the king of Prussia's dominions.
FREDERICKSBURGH, Feb. 19. A small shock of an Earthquake was felt in this town and neighbourhood, about eight o'clock in the evening of the 11th instant.—The shock was also felt at Richmond, nearly at the same time.
A writer in a London paper advises Jonny Bull, if he can, to make peace with the French. Let us be no longer disgusted, he says, with the sophistry of such mockish orators as the Morningtons, the Jenkins, the Ryders, and the Cannings of the day, who gorged with the luxuries of the table, come to explain to us the perfect facility of starving our enemies; and who tripping from the parade, undertake to convince us of the great ease with which the allies might march to Paris.

WHEREAS I purchased a tract of land of William Hays, of Fayette county, the land lying in Clarke county on Hington, containing 600 acres, for which the said Hays gave me his bond, for six hundred pounds to make me a general warranty deed, and I gave the said Hays two bonds, one payable the first day of May 1795 for two hundred and twenty-five pounds, which bond is paid off all but fifty-six pounds: the other payable the first day of May 1796 for seventy-five pounds, and since I find Messrs. Moore, French, Smith and Lewis has an older claim than his, and finding it is not in his power to make me a good and lawful right to the said land, I do hereby forwarn all persons from trading for the said bonds as I am determined not to pay the said Hays nor any other person, until the dispute is ended with the said Hays and French.

WE have some time since given notice, that our Copartnership was about to expire, and requested those who were indebted to us to come and settle their accounts.—We again request that those who have not complied with our former request to come and settle with Mr. John Clay, who will superintend the business during our absence, which will be until about the last of May next, it is hoped that those who cannot make payment immediately, will give their obligations, as no further indulgence can be given.

Westminster, December 30.
This day his majesty came to the house of peers, and being seated on the throne, with the usual solemnity, Sir Francis Molyneaux, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, was sent with a message from his majesty to the house of Commons, commanding their attendance in the house of Peers, the Commons being come thither accordingly, his majesty was pleased to make the following
MOST GRACIOUS SPEECH.
My Lords & Gentlemen,
After the uniform experience which I have had of your zealous regard for the interests of my people, it is a great satisfaction to me to recur to your advice and assistance at a period which calls for the full exertion of your energy and wisdom.
Notwithstanding the disappointments and reverses which we have experienced in the course of the last campaign, I retain a firm conviction of the necessity of persisting in a vigorous prosecution of the just and necessary war in which we are engaged.
You will, I am confident, agree with me that it is only from firmness and perseverance that we can hope for the restoration of peace on safe and honorable grounds, and for the preservation and permanent security of our dearest interests.
In considering the situation of our enemies, you will not fail to observe, that the efforts which have led to their successes, and the unexampled means by which alone those efforts could have been supported, have produced among themselves the pernicious effects, which were to be expected; and that every thing which has passed in the interior of the country has shown the progressive and rapid decay of their resources, and of the instability of every part of that violent and unnatural system, which is equally ruinous to France, and, incompatible with the tranquillity of other Nations.
The States General of the United Provinces have nevertheless been led, by a sense of present difficulties, to enter into negotiations for peace with the party now prevailing in that unhappy country. No established Government or independent State can under the present circumstances derive any real security from such negotiations: On our part, they could not be attempted, without sacrificing both our honor and safety to an enemy, whose chief animosity is avowedly directed against these Kingdoms.
I have therefore continued to use the most effectual means for the further augmentation of my forces; and I shall omit no opportunity of concerting the operations of the next campaign with such of the powers of Europe as are impressed with the same sense of the necessity of vigor and exertion. I place the fullest reliance on the valor of my forces, and on the affection and public spirit of my people, in whose behalf I am contending, and whose safety and happiness are the objects of my constant solicitude.
The local importance of Corsica, and the spirited efforts of its inhabitants, to deliver themselves from the yoke of France, determined me not to withhold the protection which they sought for; and I have
since accepted the Crown and Sovereignty of that country, according to an instrument, a copy of which I have directed to be laid before you.
I have great pleasure in informing you, that I have concluded a treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation with the United States of America, in which it has been my object to remove, as far as possible all grounds of jealousy and misunderstanding, and to improve an intercourse beneficial to both countries. As soon as the ratifications shall have been exchanged, I will direct a copy of this treaty to be laid before you, in order that you may consider if the propriety of making such provision as may appear necessary for carrying it into effect.
I have the greatest satisfaction in announcing to you the happy event of the conclusion of a treaty for the marriage of my son the Prince of Wales, with the Princess Caroline, daughter of the Duke of Brunswick. The constant proofs of your affection for my person and family, persuade me that you will enable me to make provision for such an establishment as you may think suitable to the rank and dignity of the Heir Apparent to the Crown of these Kingdoms.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons,
The considerations which prove the necessity of a vigorous prosecution of the war, will I doubt not, induce you to make a timely and ample provision for the several branches of the public service, the estimates for which I have directed to be laid before you. While I regret the necessity of large and additional burthens on my subjects, it is a just consolation and satisfaction to me to observe the state of our credit, commerce and resources, which is the natural result of the continued exertions of industry under the protection of a free and well regulated Government.
My Lords and Gentlemen,
A just sense of the blessings now so long enjoyed by this country, will, I am persuaded, encourage you to make every effort, which can enable you to transmit those blessings unimpaired to your posterity.
I entertain a confident hope, that under the protection of Providence, and with constancy and perseverance on our part, the principles of social order, morality and religion, will be ultimately successful; and that my faithful people will find their present exertions and sacrifices rewarded by the secure and permanent enjoyment of tranquillity at home, and by the deliverance of Europe from the greatest danger with which it has been threatened since the establishment of civilized society.
AMSTERDAM, December 26.
Our rejoicings on the supposed approach of peace, have been as short as the motives were slight on which they were founded. To-day the opinions of the people here are turned entirely to the continuance of the war. The movements which are taking place in the several kingdoms around us, the secret agitations of their cabinets, and the appearance of new armaments, entirely destroy every pacific hope, notwithstanding the shew of negotiations, by which we are no longer to be amused. Our attention is now turned towards England. Our misery and distress sufficiently bespeak our wishes, and Europe, whose councils Great-Britain at present appears to direct at her will, looks with anxiety at the fate of our provinces. Every bosom here is distressed and discouraged, and the pacific assurances, which we have lately received, serve but to add to the bitterness of our disappointment.
The checks which we daily re-
ceive, and the advances made by the enemy on our territory, increase and strengthen their feelings. We just now learn, that our troops have evacuated fort St. Andre, and at the same time the Bommel Waert.
By this retreat we are reduced to the mere defence of the right bank of the Waal, where our troops may be continually harassed by the enemy, who are encamped on the other side without any apprehension from the fire of those ramparts, to which we before owed our protection.
This manoeuvre, if such it can be called, by no means accords with the reports of an armistice, of which our gazettes have so long spoken. They have assured us of the departure of the commissaries M. M. Brantzed and Peephaer, from the Hague, for Paris; adding, that these gentlemen have received their passports from the French Generals. On the contrary, it is this instant reported, that the enemy has refused to let them pass, and that they are on their return to Dort! To this last rumour it is impossible at this moment to say what degree of credit should be attached.
On the evening of the 22d the French made an attack on the one side of fort Capel. Their force consisted only of 200 men on scates.
They seemed to be a party to reconnoitre the place, previously to an attempt in the night. We know that they have ordered 3,000 pair cramp irons at Waalwyk, for the purpose of walking in safety over the ice.
LONDON, January 2.
The result of the deliberation of the Germanic Diet, of the 5th ult. concerning the propositions for peace, made by the Elector of Mentz, is, that the majority have acceded to those propositions. Fifty-seven votes are expressly for a peace; ten proposed the mediation of Sweden and Denmark; thirty-six proposed that of the king of Prussia—and thirty deputies, for want of instruction, did not vote on that day. The Hanoverian minister, Baron Ompieda, declared, that as such propositions ought to proceed from his Imperial Majesty, and not from the Elector of Mentz, and the present circumstances, instead of pacificatory measures, imperiously demanded the most vigorous prosecution of the war, his court could neither consent, nor accede, to the above propositions for peace.
The French Journals state the number of the French fleet, at Brest, to amount to 35 ships of the line, exclusive of a division of ten more ships which sailed from that harbour in November, which would make the whole of the Brest fleet amount to 45 ships of the line.
Some of the letters brought by the Dutch mails which arrived yesterday, state, that the French have actually got possession of fort St. Andre and the Bommel Waert. At Amsterdam the consternation is extreme. The Deputies nominated by the States, have left the Hague; but little success is expected from their mission. On the Upper Rhine, the severity of the season has arrested all military operations. The Dutch papers say, that on the 15th inst. a determination to pursue a winter campaign was announced in the Convention, and that Carrier with two others of the Revolutionary Committee of Nantz, were convicted on the 16th and executed on the following day.
The Leydon Gazette confirms the report that Carrier, Menard and Grandmaison, were sentenced on the 16th, and executed on the 17th ult.
