Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cape Francois, dated Feb. 18, to a house in New York.
Since our arrival, there has been a great battle fought with the negroes, in which 400 were killed, as many taken prisoners, and a great number dispersed. A grand house belonging to their general, which they had built for him, fell into the hands of the whites; and I am told it was as elegantly finished and furnished as if it had belonged to the first planter in the colony. The plains are cleared to the extent of 25 leagues, and the blacks driven back to the mountains. It is expected that a number of the planters will very shortly return to their desolated estates. There was a great insurrection of the mulattoes here in the beginning of December; they demanded to be admitted as officers in the regiments then arrived from France; they were denied—flew to arms—seized the out posts—turned the cannon upon the town—fought and fired in the streets—terror and confusion ensued. They stuck firm to what they had undertaken; swore they would die to a man, or carry their point. Their numbers were fearfully diminished by the free negroes, and at length the whites found it prudent to admit them both into the municipality. So now we see mulatto and black officers, strutting about in uniform, equipé à la militaire.
We understand Col. Proffer is returned to this city from his mission to the Indian country N. W. of the Ohio, relative to a treaty of peace. It is said, he went no further than Legionville, about thirty miles N. W. of Pittsburgh, where he received information from the Cornplanter, that his people seemed inclined for war, and it might not be prudent for the Colonel to pay a visit.
Extract of a letter from Lisbon, dated February 8th. (By the Dominie Terry, Cap. Dehart.)
The post brings this day, a certainty of the execution of the King of France, on the 21st of January last, between 10 and 11 o'clock of that day. It is said he supported himself with great courage on the occasion; mounted the scaffold with cool deliberation, and attempted to make a speech which tended to his innocence;—however, the troops were ordered immediately to beat their drums and sound their trumpets, in order to prevent his being heard; which he perceiving, made a reverence to all around him, and laid his head on the block, which was immediately severed from his body. A hole was dug in the Temple Court, near the scaffold, where the head and trunk were thrown, then filled up with earth, and paved. As soon as the execution was effected, three huzzas were given by the spectators, hats thrown in the air, and it is said the executioners and many near the scaffold dipped their buttons in the King's blood, as marks of victory and triumph.
The Queen and the King's sister were put into the common gaol, and committed to civil justice for examination and sentence. A report prevails that they were put to death two days after.
In addition to the above, Captain Dehart mentions, that previous to his leaving Lisbon (which was on the 9th of February) a number of French royalists there had put on mourning for the King, which is a proof that they considered the news as brought by the post, true.
It is mentioned in a letter from Burlington (Vermont) that an inhabitant of that place, in digging a well, found frogs at the depth of 40 feet, which from every circumstance must have lain there from time immemorial. When first discovered, they were apparently dead, but upon being exposed to the air they soon became alive and hopped about. Those of them which were not conveyed to the water, perished in a few
minutes, but those that were, became good frogs, and I found (says the writer) I dare say, a happy resurrection.
The old court-game of keeping up a spirit of dissention in Ireland, on the score of Catholick and Protestant, seems verging to an end. A large new chapel, upon a liberal plan, is now erected at Lisburne, in that island; wherein, in November last, a congregation for the first time, assembled of not less than one thousand persons, catholicks and protestants indiscriminately, for the purpose of public worship.
The Roman Catholics of Ireland have sent a deputation to attend the Levee at St. James's, and present a petition to the King enumerating the multiplied grievances they labor under, complaining of the severities, disqualifications, and oppressions under which they groan, merely for exercising a freedom of opinion in religious matters, and praying that they may be put upon a footing with other British subjects in that respect.
Instead of reviling the French republicans as monsters, the friends of royalty in this country should rather admire at their patience in so long deferring the fate of their perjured monarch, whose blood is probably considered as an atonement for the safety of many guilty thousands that are still suffered to remain in the bosom of France. Who but must execrate the vices inseparable from a throne, and the murderous principles of the abettors of monarchy, when he recollects what was to have been the fate of the republicans of Paris, had the Duke of Brunswick reached that capital with his army in full force?—Let the following document declare it, which the reader may depend upon as deduced from unquestionable authority.—The plan of the emperor and the king of Prussia for the campaign of 1792, was, if possible, to penetrate as far as Paris. When the army had entered Paris, the inhabitants were to have been assembled on the commons. A discrimination was then to be made: the revolutionists were to be put to death. The particular fate of the rest was not expressly mentioned. Very probable however, the system of the emperor was to be adhered to, who, in his manifestos, had ordered all his governors of towns not to spare any, on the least appearance of revolt, except women and children, and in case of illegal opposition, to burn all the public stores, magazines of powder, &c. and set fire to the towns, as it was thought proper to leave the country desert rather than inhabited by revolutionists. Such was the language of the combined Kings. In all cases, the houses of the revolutionists were to be delivered up to plunder, and such goods as should chance to be saved were to be con-

sicated to the use of the king. There was also an agreement between the combined courts, not to receive into their dominions any republican revolutionist; and the list of proscription was to be extended to those who had after a certain time removed into foreign countries; and finally, that war was to be declared against all powers who should evade, or not agree to the above league, and a manifesto to be published in consequence thereof.
A French paper ( Patricio Francis ) gives us the following scale of Beings, beginning with the most sublime of all & descending to the lowest dregs of his visible and invisible creation; viz. God—Angel—a tyrant killer—a philanthropist, an honest man—a labourer—a slothful cowardly citizen—a monk—a saint—a hero—a king—the devil—(credit is given for the above scale to an English Republican.)
Extract of a letter from Tobago, Feb. 14.
Last week about 3000 French regulars made a descent upon this island. One seventy four, two sixty fours and two frigates anchored in Cow's Bay, and demanded a surrender of the island. The militia are continually under arms, and we have every reason to expect a war between England and France.
Letters from Europe generally assert that war between Great Britain and France was considered as inevitable; and that, as many of the European powers would probably take the field this summer against France, there would be an immense demand for American provisions from the French, who were making every necessary preparation to face their enemies.
LEXINGTON, May 11.
[From the National Gazette.] [Continued from our last.]
Minutes of enquiry into the official conduct of the Secretary of the Treasury on several of the resolutions moved by Mr. Giles.—Thursday, Feb. 28.—The House in committee of the whole, Mr. Muhlenberg in the chair.
Mr. Fitzsimons observed on the first charge in the resolution, that as the interest of the money borrowed in Europe is payable where borrowed, it was economical in the secretary to pay that interest with monies there, which were to be drawn here, and replace the sum by taking the amount from the funds here destined for that payment. A financial operation of this nature is simple, and saves the trouble of drawing with one hand and remitting with the other. He conceived there was no just foundation for the first charge.
Mr. Lawrence said that when the resolutions calling for information from the treasury department were first brought forward, the public mind was impressed with an idea, that there were monies unaccounted for; this charge is now dropped, and it is honorable to the officer concerned that after much probing nothing is found to support it. The enquiry now is, whether a debt was paid out of this or that fund. He did not admit the fact, that it was paid out of any other monies, than what Lawrence strictly warranted. He went into a history of the business from its origin. He stated the nature
and purposes of the loans. There was nothing to prevent the President, he said, to consolidate the two loans, provided such an arrangement did not interfere with the purposes intended by them. The President employed the secretary to obtain the loans under the joint authority of both acts, as it was found that the object could best be carried into effect by such an arrangement. The money thus borrowed, became subject to the appropriations of both acts, and not exclusively for the payment of the foreign debt.
Then as part of that money was subject to be drawn here for the redemption of the domestic debt, and the interest of the loan was to be paid with domestic funds, it was perfectly reasonable to avoid further drafts and remittances, to pay the debt therewith with money already here. The fact stated in the first part of the resolution is by this plain state of the case substantially refuted, and appears altogether unfounded; but if the facts is proved, what is implied? No injury to the interests of the community; the intention of the legislature has been in every point fulfilled. If the Secretary had acted differently, he would have been guilty of an absurdity, and to blame for sacrificing the public interest, and neglecting the spirit of the law for a strict and unprofitable observance of its dead letter.
Mr. Sedgwick by advertizing to the speech of the President and report of the Secretary, had shown that the Legislature had been made acquainted with the drafts, and sanctioned future ones on the same principles. The latter part of the first resolution exonerates the secretary for making them without instructions from the President. Even if this was the case, he did not know whether this was really reprehensible. He defended it on this ground, that the Secretary is the officer appointed by law to superintend the finances and apply all monies agreeably to appropriations. He took a view of the business as stated by Mr. Lawrence, and concluded by asking, whether if the Secretary was found on a critical examination to have deviated in a trifle from the letter of the law, such a deviation was sufficient to warrant the alarm's being sounded from St. Croix to St. Mary's, and whether the precious time of the house, at the close of the session with a variety of business on their hands, should be taken up in so unprofitable and frivolous an investigation.
Mr. Giles said the transaction alluded to by the gentlemen to controvert the fact laid down in the first part of the resolution before the committee, was not so immaterial as they had endeavored to show it. It was not merely a financial operation to avoid the necessity of drawing and remitting. The truth was, that the Secretary had drawn over near 3,000,000 of dollars. The President's authority was limited to 2,000,000.
Mr. Lawrence was of opinion, that if the President, or his agent, had drawn the whole amount of the money obtained under both loans, he could not be said to have gone beyond his authority. He was authorized to borrow 12,000,000, to pay the arrears on the foreign debt, and to modify the whole. In the execution of this trust he might have found it advisable to draw to the country the whole of that sum. It had been found advisable to draw for part, and to pay the French by shipping produce to St. Domingo. If the money expended for supplies to St. Domingo is deducted, the balance will be found less than 2,000,000.
The committee reported progress, and obtained leave to sit to-morrow.
FRIDAY, March 1.
Mr. Sedgwick opened the debate, by calling for the reading of a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to Mr. Short, of the first of September 1790, showing the objects and general views of the Secretary, relative to the negotiation of the loans under the two acts authorizing them.
Mr. Burnside, then rose and addressed the chairman as follows:—
Before I proceed to discuss the observations which yesterday fell from the gentleman who introduced the resolutions now before us, I cannot refrain from saying, that I am extremely happy, that in passing through the medium of that gentleman's examination, this subject has changed its hue from the foul stain of peculation to the milder coloring of a illegal exercise of discretion and a want of politeness in the Secretary of the Treasury. I feel happy because I always am so when any man charged with guilt can acquit himself; and the more so now when a man in high responsible office and high in the estimation of his countrymen, can reduce a charge from a quality calculated to have excited an alarm, even in Pandemonium , to such a shape as I fancy will scarce serve to satisfy the uncommon curiosity which it appears to have excited. As I have never been in the habit of taking notes, I shall depend upon memory in answering the gentleman from Virginia; altho' I imagine as that gentleman usually sticks very close to his point, whatever it may be, that in pursuing his charges I shall substantially answer his arguments. In commenting upon the two first resolutions to which I am by order confined, I shall consider in the first instance, what regards the right of drawing money into this country—the gentleman appears not to have considered the law properly, for there cannot be a doubt that the President had a right to make what arrangements he pleased in order to attain what he might consider a proper modification of the debt due by the United States abroad;—he might have borrowed the money here or have paid here;—he might have borrowed the money in England, or wherever he thought fit. I will ask the gentleman by what precise authority he borrowed the money in Amsterdam and Antwerp and paid it Paris; certainly by none but that discretion which has been depended upon to modify the debt in the manner most conducive to the interest of the United States. I take it then for granted, Mr. Chairman, that the right of the President to draw the money borrowed here, or to send it any where must be conceded: The question will then arise, whether the Secretary of the Treasury had a right to do this or no, and whether this has not been done without, nay, against the instructions of the President. I really consider this as one of the most extraordinary cases that I have ever known exhibited. Let us consider
its form; a highly important trust of no lesser import than the discretionary use of 14,000,000 of dollars is placed in the President of the United States. He by a general commission and by special instructions, delegates this power to the Secretary of the Treasury, stating that he is to conform to these and whatever instructions he might from time to time give him. Let any man seriously examine these powers, and I am of opinion that the Secretary under these had a right to draw if he thought proper, unless instructed to the contrary: For the President conveys a complete power to modify the debt, provided that it should be with all convenient dispatch applied to pay the principal and interest due to France; for where the payments are to be made, is certainly left to the Secretary. In this has not been exercised advantageously this is another circumstance which the gentleman himself has not questioned. But says the Gentleman, the Secretary under these instructions had no special authority to draw, notwithstanding which he began to draw in 1790 and has continued to draw at different times into this country the enormous sum of 3,000,000 of dollars and therefore he must have done this without, nay, against the instructions of the President, who it is presumed having delegated this great trust, has never for three years enquired into the performance of it.
Can it be the inference of common sense—can it be the inference of the experience which we have had of the President, one of the prominent features of whose character always has been an industry to investigate particulars, as remarkable as his facility to frame general. If then instructions have not been given or have been exceeded, was it necessary for us to come in aid of the President, he who by our law has the power which we ourselves cannot exercise of removing any of the executive officers at pleasure; certainly cannot be necessary; for as this officer continues to act, we must conclude, that he has either acted by instructions, or in such manner as to have given satisfaction to his principal without them. Really, Mr. Chairman, I cannot but believe that if motion had not led the gentleman from Virginia astray, the usual correctness of his understanding would have prevented him from pursuing such an ignis fatuus as this.
Thus far I think I have shown that the President of the United States certainly had the authority to draw the sums borrowed here and that both under his commission and his instructions given, and inevitably implied, the Secretary had also this power to do this. I shall therefore now proceed to a more special consideration of the first charge, that the Secretary has violated the law in applying a portion of the principal borrowed to the payment of the interest falling due upon that principal, which was not authorized by law.
(To be continued.)
On Tuesday the 30th ult., the Indians took two men prisoners on Brashee's creek; previous to which, one of them was slightly wounded in the thigh: after taking them some distance, they tomahawked and scalped the wounded man, who was found and brought home alive, and was living on Sunday last, but there is little hope of his recovery.
The army under the command of Maj. Gen. Wayne, passed Limestone last Sunday morning, on their way to Fort Washington.
