Lexington, February 13.
On the first day of January, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic, presented to the president of the United States the colors of that republic, with the following address.
Mr. President. I come to acquit myself of a duty very dear to my heart; I come to deposit in your hands and in the midst of a people justly renowned for their courage and their love of liberty, the symbol of the triumphs and of the enfranchisement of my nation. When she broke her chains; when she proclaimed the imprescriptible rights of man; when, in a terrible war, she sealed with her blood the covenant she had made with liberty; her own happiness was not alone the object of her glorious efforts; her views extended also to all free people. She saw their interests blended with their own, and doubly rejoiced in her victories which in securing to her the enjoyment of her rights, became to them new guarantees of their independence.
These sentiments, which animated the French nation, from the dawn of their revolution, have acquired new strength since the foundation of the Republic. France, at that time, by the form of its government, assimilated to, or rather identified with free people, saw in them only friends and brothers. Long accustomed to regard the American people as her most faithful allies, she has sought to draw closer the ties already formed in the fields of America, under the auspices of victory, over the ruins of tyranny.
The National Convention, the organ of the will of the French nation, have more than once expressed their sentiments to the American people; but above all, these burst forth on that august day, when the minister of the United States presented to the National Representation, the colours of his country. Desiring never to lose recollections as dear to Frenchmen as they must be to Americans, the Convention ordered that those colours should be placed in the hall of their sittings. They had experienced sensations too agreeable not to cause them to be partaken of by their allies, and decreed that to them the national colours should be presented.
Mr. President, I do not doubt their expectations will be fulfilled; and I am convinced that every citizen will receive with a pleasing emotion, this flag, elsewhere the terror of the enemies of liberty, here the certain pledge of faithful friendship; especially when they recollect that it guides to combat, men who have shared their toils, and who were prepared for liberty by aiding them to acquire their own.
(Signed) P. A. ADET. The answer of the President.
Born, sir, in a land of liberty; having early learned its value; having engaged in a perilous conflict to defend it; having, in a word, devoted the best years of my life to secure its permanent establishment in my own country, my anxious recollections, my sympathetic feelings, and my best wishes, are irresistibly excited, whenever in any country, I see an oppressed nation unfurl the banners of freedom. But above all, the events of the French revolution have produced the deepest solicitude, as well as the highest admiration. To call your nation brave were to pronounce but common praise. Wonderful people! Ages to come will read with astonishment, the history of your brilliant exploits! I rejoice that the period of your toils, and of your immense sacrifices is approaching. I rejoice that the interesting revolutionary movements of so many years have issued in the formation of a constitution designed to give permanency to the great object for which you have contended. I rejoice that liberty, which you have so long embraced with enthusiasm—liberty, of which you have been the invincible defenders, now finds an asylum in the bosom of a regularly organized government; a government, which, being formed to secure the happiness of the French people, corresponds with the ardent wishes of my heart, while it gratifies the pride of every citizen of the United States by its resemblance to their own. On these glorious events, accept, sir, my sincere congratulations.
In delivering to you these sentiments, I express not my own feelings only, but those of my fellow citizens, in relation to the commencement, the progress and the issue of the French revolution: and they will cordially join with me in the purest wishes to the Supreme Being, that the citizens of our sister republic, our magnanimous allies, may soon enjoy in peace, that liberty, which they have purchased at so great a price, and all the happiness which liberty can bestow. I receive, sir, with lively sensibility, the symbol of the triumphs and of the enfranchisement of your nation, the colours of France, which you have now presented to the United States. The transaction will be announced to Congress; and the colours will be deposited with those archives of the United States, which are at once the evidences and memorials of their freedom and independence. May these be perpetual! & may the friendship of the two republics be commensurate with their existence.
GO. WASHINGTON. United States, January 1st, 1796.
Abstract from the STAR a London paper of November 7. LAHN October 16. General Clairfayt made a general attack
on the French army in front, whilst the Hungarian cavalry fell on them in the rear by surprise, and made dreadful havoc with their sabres, which obliged them to fly in confusion—they lost 9700 killed, an immense number wounded, and 73000 taken prisoners with 73 pieces of heavy cannon. The Austrians had 1000 killed and 900 wounded.
Oct. 19—25. The Austrians attacked the flying Republicans on the Rhine, cut off their passage over that river, killed 7000, & took 12000 prisoners: 9000 of which were wounded and 40 pieces of cannon with all the camp equipment &c.
Oct. 26. The Austrians attacked the French near Rohr, killed 1370, wounded 1685 and made 700 prisoners with 18 pieces of cannon. The above intelligence is taken from German papers.
With respect to the above details we can say, that in no case analogous to the present, have we ever found the Paris papers entirely silent on the subject: the Paris Journal of the 1st of November, only mentions inconsiderable skirmishes—The first grand defeat is stated to have taken place on the morning of the 16th, and notwithstanding the intelligence might have reached the capitol in three days with great ease, there is no mention of it in the Journal of November 1st, therefore we shall suspend our judgments on the above, until more authentic documents shall be received.
NEWYORK, Jan. 5. Private accounts by the Rose, portray London in a state of great confusion; riot upon the back of riot, they have even set their faces towards the royal palace. The people throughout the country continue to call aloud for peace, but ministers, being backed by the monied aristocracy of the kingdom, bound the whole and still cry havoc.
MR. BRADFORD: Please to insert in the Kentucky Gazette, for the information of the people, the following statements, extracted from authentic documents. And oblige Sir, your very humble servt. H. MARSHALL.
FIRST—Of the present Military Force of the United States.
1 Major-General, 1 Brigadier-General, 1 Adjutant-General, 1 Pay-Master, 4 Surgeons, 1 Chaplain, 5 Lieutenant-Colonels, 17 Majors, 62 Captains, 73 Lieutenants, 2 Cornets, 27 Pioneers, 16 Surgeon's mates, 3228 Non commissioned officers and privates. These appear to be with general Wayne including the garrisons on the lower parts of the Ohio, and in advance of Fort Washington; at Fort Pitt &c. &c. In Georgia, in the S. Western Territory, at West-point, Fortifications of the harbours and the several recruiting rendezvous.
It has been determined to erect two arsenals; one on the Potomac and 1 in South Carolina; and measures have been taken to obtain proper situations for them, but no choice yet finally made. In the Eastern division of the states, SPRINGFIELD, in MASSACHUSETTS, has been determined on as a proper place for another arsenal, and the works have been begun and are in some forwardness.
The ordinary Magazines are represented as being in a respectable situation. And measures have been taken to make them complete.
SECONDLY—The Marine Force of the United States.
Extensive as is the commerce of these states, it does not appear that the Government has one armed Vessel on the sea. Measures have been taken to build six Frigates—One at Philadelphia, to carry forty-four guns—One at New-York to carry forty-four guns—One at Boston to carry forty-four guns—One at Norfolk to carry forty-four guns—One at Baltimore to carry thirty-six guns—And one at Portsmouth (N. H.) thirty-six guns—And these are represented as being in some forwardness, and advancing towards completion.
THIRDLY—Of the revenue of the United States—calculated for 1796.
   RECEIPTS.   Dollars. Cents.     From duties on imports and tonnage, - - - 5,679,418 58   From internal revenues, - - - 780,000   From the postage of letters, - - - 35,000   From dividends on stock of the bank of the U. S. - - - 160,000   From fees on letters patent, - - - 660   From the proceeds of the sinking fund, &c. &c. - - - 88,242 79   From interest, dividends, loans, &c. &c. - - - 4,514,100   Total 11,257,431 37

   For contingent expences of government, - - - 74,000   For interest on domestic loans for which provision has already been made by law, - - - 347,000   For the reimbursement of loans, foreign & domestic, - - - 5,128,000   Total 10,836,537 43   The balance to cover contingencies, - - - 420,883 94  
And FOURTHLY—Of the Mint of the United States.
30th September 1794.
Species, and value of copper coins, made and delivered: Cents, 928,012. Half Cents, 116,934—Value in Dollars 9664 & 79 Cents.
Species, and value of silver coins, made and delivered from 15th October 1794, to the 24th October 1795: 204,791 Dollars. 323,144 Half Dollars; and 52,516 Half Dimes—Value in Dollars 368,988 and 80 Cents.
Species, and value of gold coins, delivered from July 31st to October 24th 1795: 1,884 Eagles. 8,707 Half Eagles—Value in Dollars, 62,375.
And the Mint is now in such a state that bullion is readily coined.
Total produce of the Mint from its institution to the 14th December 1795:
Eagles, 2795. Half Eagles, 8707. Dollars, 204,791. Half Dollars 323,144. Half Dimes, 86,516. Cents, 1,266,333. Half Cents, 142,534.—Total in Dollars 453,841 and 80 Cents.
To these statements may be added some particulars respecting the present session of Congress, &c.—No law yet finally passed—several bills before the respective houses; one relating to an act of the Virginia legislature, to impose a duty on seamen for the use of a Marine Hospital; one to appropriate a sum of money for the Indian trade. One prescribing the mode of proceeding in cases of outlawry. One to allow aliens to obtain patents for useful discoveries. And sundry Committees are charged to bring in other bills, particularly one for opening an office to sell the lands N. W. of Ohio. One dollar per acre seems to be the price most spoken of. The treaty ratified by the King of Great Britain has not arrived, but daily expected. It is conceived that it will not need the further advice or consent of the senate, to confirm the final ratification. We have no information since the president's speech to congress, respecting the state of negotiation at the court of Spain. There is the most pleasing prospect of the United States being at peace with the African States on the Mediterranean. And I think I may with safety add there never has been within my memory so well grounded an expectation of a permanent peace with the Indians. It is with equal pleasure I observe the friends of peace and good order, declaring themselves—and augmenting their numbers in the United States. America will continue to flourish beyond example, notwithstanding the endeavours of some disorganizing individuals.
