(FROM PHILADELPHIA.) SIR, INCLOSED you will receive a copy of a letter addressed to me by the Secretary of State, dated the 16th instant, in which he communicates the request of the President of the United States, "that whenever a fleet, Squadron, or ship of any Belligerent Nation, shall clearly and unequivocally use the rivers or other waters of Pennsylvania, as a station in order to carry on hostile expeditions from thence, I will cause to be notified to the commander thereof, that the President deems such conduct to be contrary to the rights of our neutrality; and that a demand of retribution will be urged upon their government for prizes, which may be made in consequence thereof."—You will be pleased, Sir, to pay strict attention to the object of the President's request; and if you shall at any time ascertain the case to which it refers, you will communicate the circumstances, without delay, to me, or in my absence to the Secretary of State, that the necessary measures may be pursued for procuring a redress of the grievance. I am, Sir, Your most obedient servant. THOMAS MIFFLIN. Philadelphia, 20th April 1795. To Nathaniel Falconer, Esq. Master Warden, &c.
(CIRCULAR.) Department of State, April 16, 1795 SIR, AS it is contrary to the law of Nations, that any of the Belligerent Powers should commit hostility on the waters, which are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States; so ought not the ships of war, belonging to any Belligerent Power, to take a station in those waters in order to carry on hostile expeditions from thence. I do myself the honor, therefore, of requesting of your Excellency, in the name of the President of the United States, that as often as a fleet, Squadron or ship of any Belligerent Nation, shall clearly and unequivocally use the rivers or other waters of Pennsylvania, as a station, in order to carry on hostile expeditions from thence, you will cause to be notified to the commander
thereof, that the President deems such conduct to be contrary to the rights of our neutrality;—and that a demand of retribution will be urged upon their government, for prizes which may be made in consequence thereof. A standing order to this effect, may probably be advantageously placed in the hands of some confidential officer of the militia; and I must intreat you to instruct him to write by the mail to this department, immediately upon the happening of any case of the kind.
I have the honor to be, With great respect and esteem, Sir, Your Excellency's Most obedient servant. EDMUND RANDOLPH. His excellency, the governor of Pennsylvania. A true Copy, JAMES TRIMBLE, Dep. Sec'y
FALMOUTH, February 24. Sir B. Warren, on Saturday last on the coast of France, fell in with 150 sail of light ships, bound to Bourdeaux for wine, under convoy of four Corvettes, a number of which he captured and sunk others, and part of his squadron were left in chase of the remainder.
P.S One ship and two brigs are arrived, it is said twenty-five are taken, and many more expected to be so. Before they parted they saw a large ship strike.
PLYMOUTH, February 25. Arrived last evening, the Danish ship, Enighiber, from Brest, which place she left several days since. She brings an account that six sail of the line of the French fleet have been lost during their last cruise, owing to the severe gales of wind, which they encountered, and the bad management added to the inexperience of their seamen. one of the ships (a two decker) is said to have been run down, by a first rate, and instantly sunk, with all her crew on board.
The Enighiber fell in with lord Howe's fleet at the entrance of the channel.
PORTSMOUTH, February 25. The grand fleet which has returned here consists of 33 sail of the line and 12 frigates. They convoyed the outward bound merchant fleet, consisting of 395 sail to the westward of cape Finistere; where admiral Parker with the squadron under his command, took charge of the ships for the west Indies; and the Blenheim of 98 guns and Bombay Castle of 75 guns, took charge of the Mediterranean ships in order to convoy them to their respective places of destination.
LONDON, February 27. On Wednesday the grand fleet under earl Howe, anchored at Spithead, after having seen the valuable convoys that sailed under its protection, safe to a certain lati-
tude. During this short cruise they only took a French brig of war, which they have brought in with them.
The head-quarters of the British army are at Osnaburg.
Above 150,000 Austrians are already pouring down from all quarters on the banks of the Rhine, which will be shortly reinforced with 50,000 more.
The Houlbrook, Hughes, from Philadelphia, has arrived at Dover. She landed near 2000 ship letters.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Hunter, messenger, arrived from the army. Head-quarters remained at Osnaburg. It was reported an action had taken place between the Prussians and the French, in which the latter were defeated with considerable loss.
Yesterday in the house of commons, Mr. Wilberforce moved, "that at a time to be limited, the slave trade shall be entirely discontinued." There was a lengthy and animated debate, when on dividing the house, there appeared

***** PORTLAND, April 13.
Capt. S. Clough, in the ship Success, arrived at Wiliscasset the 6th in 46 days from Havre. He brings a confirmation of the taking Amsterdam, &c. and adds, that the French have gained a compleat victory over the Spaniards, in which they killed and took ten thousand, and to the value of six millions sterling in images of Gods Virgins, &c. from their churches and other places.
***** BOSTON, April 20.
Yesterday Capt. Bacon arrived here in 18 days from Martinico, and informs, that a French fleet of six sail of the line and five frigates with 8,000 troops on board, had sailed from Guadaloupe for Antigua.
***** NEW-YORK, April 23.
Yesterday, arrived brig Beaver, capt. Hull, who left Barbadoes the 27th of March, at which time he had not heard of the arrival of any part of the British fleet, with a reinforcement, but that eight days previous to his departure, six merchant ships which had sailed without convoy, had anchored in Castle bay from England.
There was no vessels belonging to this port at Barbadoes when capt. Hull left it.
Capt. Hull also informs us, that he spoke a schooner from Antigua, bound to Norfolk, the captain of which gave information that St. Eustatia & Demarara were in possession of the French, and that the whole of Grenada was also in their possession. Capt. Hull mentions, that the inhabitants of Barbadoes were in daily expectation of a fleet, with reinforcements from England, which in some measure revived their hopes.

BALTIMORE, April 27.
Above 60,000. in specie, has arrived at Salem, from France.
It is said that the British merchant fleet of 200 sail including ships of war and transports with 10,000 troops, have arrived in the west Indies.
The French convention have directed a cessation in the manufactures of warlike apparatus; from which it would appear they were looking forward to the time when they could with safety turn their swords into pruning hooks.
Lexington, May 23.
S P E E C H,
Addressed to his Excellency Mr. Barthelemy, ambassador of the French Republic in Switzerland, by Chancellor Ochs, in presence of the secret council, and in the name of the state of Basle, January 22, 1795.
YOUR EXCELLENCY,
"There is a Switzerland wanting to France, and a France to Switzerland." It is in this manner that one of the representatives of the French republic, expressed himself towards us, and it is to this principle, marked with the stamp of a sound policy, that the two nations are long indebted for a great part of their success and prosperity. It is indeed allowed to suppose, that without the Helvetic confederation, the works of the ancient kingdoms of Lotharingia, Burgundy, and Arles, would not have been united to the French dominion; and it is hard to believe, that without the powerful diversion and decided interference of France, they would not at last have succeeded in stifling the Helvetic liberty in the cradle, or in causing the destiny of one political existence to retrograde. However, the truth of this salutary principle has perhaps never manifested itself with more evidence than in the course of the memorable events, of which we were for some years past the peaceable spectators. But it belongs to history to reveal one day to an impartial posterity, the reciprocal relations of the cause and effect which subsisted between these events, our neutrality and preservation. Perhaps on a future day the sentiment of natural justice will be admitted, which, in making us to abhor all foreign influence in the choice of the modifications of our forms of government, forbids us by this very object to set up for judges of the mode of public administration of any state whatever. Our fathers have not censured either the grand feudatories of the Germanic empire, for having lowered the Imperial power, or the royal authority in France, for having kept in awe the grand feudatories. They have successively seen the States general represent the French nation; Richelieu & Mazarine seizing upon the absolute power, Louis XIV displayed by himself the whole power of the nation, and the parliaments pretending to partake, in the name of the people, of the public authority. But they were never heard with a rash voice, arrogating to themselves the right of calling the French government back to such and such a period of its history. Their wish was the happiness of France, their hope its unity, and their support the integrity of its territory.
However, what inclination the Swiss may always have had to tread in the steps of the founders and preservers of their liberty, it must be confessed that more than once it was feared, in those moments of exalted passions, to see them deviate from so sure a road; if they have escaped this fatal danger, the public opinion, although tottering and divided on so many points, unites itself, in order to attribute the honor of it to your excellency and to the faithful and zealous companions of your important exertions.
To blend amiableness of temper, the frankness of probity, and the
modesty of true merit, to the firmness of the man of the public, jealous of the dignity of his place, and the honor of his country; to conciliate a prudent tempoiring with the active rapidity of the events, and the considerations due to our relations, multiplied with the rights of a regenerated people, who are more than ever sensible of the value of their allies; to prevent the perfidious or exaggerated insinuations either of malevolence or intrigue, or of a blind and inconsiderate patriotism; to allay by the hope of indemnities which the confederate justice promises, the sentiment of sacrifices of all kinds, against which public treaties or authentic acts seem bound to have given protection; This is the sublime art which your excellency has displayed in your ministry, to maintain peace, remove all difficulties, calm resentments, heighten the hopes, and draw pure and unimpeachable magistracies round a single rallying point, the scrupulous observation of a free neutrality.
Happy to become habitual witnesses of virtues so dear to all hearts, the secret council of the town and canton of Basle, in the name of our lords the Burgomasters and council of this Republic, has the honor to beg your excellency favourably to accept the assurance of the respectful devotion, and very lively eagerness in anticipating the wishes with which each of us is sincerely animated. The residence of your excellency in our town announces a confidence which we know how to appreciate. It was under the walls of Basle, that, 350 years ago, were formed the first ties which united our fate to that of France; and it is within the walls of Basle, that at this moment, for the first time, the two republics solemnly yield to the effusion of a soft fraternity. If we may believe the consoling reports of uncertain renown, another assimilation of ancient times and our days presents itself to all minds. It was also within the walls of Basle, that was concluded the famous peace, which terminated the last bloody contest the Swiss had to sustain for the sacred cause of their independence.
May a peace of this kind soon add to the glory of our country! Through a fatality which confounds the reason of man. War was always necessary for the foundation of liberty. But it is only peace consolidates it by the true display of its energy; it is peace ennobles it by the practice of virtue; it is peace embellishes it by the charm of all the arts, and makes it to be worshipped by feeling and generous hearts. How charming it is to present the olive branch of peace, when one's brow is girt with the laurels of victory! Moderation in the conqueror charms fortune to his car, and the strength of the enemy is less to be dreaded than the despair of the vanquished. But the importance of such great concerns as these makes us exceed the limits of our mission. Let us still have the permission to ask of your excellency the precious continuation of kindness and benevolence, and also your powerful interference in all well grounded claims which this state or its citizens may be likely to address to the supreme authorities of the illustrious French Republic.
(The Answer in our next.)
On Thursday morning, the 14th instant, Mr. Maine with a party of about fifty men, who were out on Paint creek, a branch of the Scioto, fell in with an Indian camp, in which were upwards of thirty Indians, fifteen of whom were warriors and the remainder women and children. An action commenced, in which one of the white men was killed—the Indians were
drove from their camp, and their baggage and horses fell into the hands of the whites.—The party then made for Kentucky, and on Friday morning about day break, one of their centres fired on the Indians, who were endeavoring to take advantage of their situation, upon which the Indians returned the fire, when a sharp action ensued for a few minutes, and the Indians retired before it was light enough for the whites to pursue.—During this attack one white man was wounded in the thigh, and two horses killed. The plunder and horses taken from the Indians sold for about $150.
A lad that was taken prisoner at the mouth of Scioto in February last was with the Indians, and escaped to the whites during the action on Thursday morning—he informs that this party of Indians had received a letter from General Wayne, ordering them to leave that neighbourhood, and come to the treaty, which they positively refused to comply with—They are of the Shawanese tribe.
On the evening of the 16th inst. three of the prisoners confined in the public jail in this town, broke out, two of which were immediately retaken. The other (Daniel Boyd, who is sentenced to be executed on the 29th inst.) made his escape, but was retaken, and committed to jail again on Tuesday last.

RUN AWAY
FROM THE SUBSCRIBER, On Wednesday night, the sixth inst. A Mulatto Man Slave,
About eighteen years old, named JAMES , and sometimes calls himself JAMES MEALS , has a comely countenance, a soft voice and speaks fluently, a very sensible fellow and can read and write; he is about five feet eight or nine inches high, well proportioned, & when he walks or stands his toes turn out. He carried with him as well as I can ascertain the following clothes: one short jacket and breeches of felled linsy, died brown, pretty much worn, two coarse shirts, two or three white shirts, two of which are ruffled at the bosom, one blue cloth coat, one pair jeans breeches of an olive colour, one pair of white yarn stockings, one pair of old buck-skin overalls, one pair of shoes, and one pair of new deer-skin moccasins, he has taken other clothes that I cannot describe. James is fond of playing on the fiddle, and generally when playing inclines his head to one side. His transgressions had caused him a severe whipping ten days preceding his elopement, the scars of which will be evident upon examination; it is probable a small fore or scar may be discovered on the point of his left elbow, as he not long since received a stroke thereon in an affray. A reward of Ten Dollars will be given for the above described slave, if secured in any jail so that I can get him; Twenty-five if taken within the state and brought to my house on North Elkhorn, in Woodford county, about four miles from Frankfort, or Fifty Dollars if taken out of the state and delivered to

RUN AWAY From Capt. SAMUEL CAMPBELL , in Madison county, on Silver creek, about the 7th of April.
A brisk, likely, sensible NEGRO FELLOW , A Slave, named BEN BERRY ; about thirty years of age, about five feet 6 or 7 inches high, his scheme is to pass as a free man; he took with him an old pair of saddle-bags, with part of a set of shoe-maker's tools, and will try to go under the name of a shoe-maker, as he knows something of that business; he also took with him a gun and shot-pouch, and will likely endeavor to go to the Miami settlements, where he has been told he will be free. He was born in Prince Edward, in the state of Virginia, and raised by the above Mr. Campbell, and brought by him to Kentucky a few years past—and since he ran away, said Campbell hath sold him (the said Slave) to the subscriber who is his proper owner, and who will pay the above reward and all reasonable charges to any person or persons who will deliver said Mulatto Slave to him in Lincoln on Dick's river.
Henry Pawling.
May 13. N. B. The above Slave can read in the Bible and Testament, and likely has a new Bible with him—he will probably change his name and perhaps some evil disposed person has given him a pass.

Lexington, May 4. PUBLIC NOTICE.
THAT on the 22d day of May 1780, I located by virtue of a land office treasury warrant, 5000 acres of land on Slate creek, in the now county of Clarke, on a Buffalo road, leading from Hinton's Fork of Licking to the Sweet Lick (now more generally known by the name of the Mad Lick) to begin at a peeled black oak, standing within five poles of the said road on the South side thereof and running North 1280 poles; then East for quantity; which said peeled black oak is on the East side of said creek within about three quarters of a mile therefrom, and is between four and five miles in a straight line, above the Bourbon Furnace. That on the seventeenth day of June 1784, I caused the said entry to be surveyed according to location, beginning at the peeled black oak therein called for, and have since obtained a patent therefor; and as the testimony respecting the said peeled black oak, depends on persons now living, in order to perpetuate their testimony, I obtained from the county court of Clarke at their last court, an order appointing commissioners to examine and take the depositions of such persons as I might judge proper, by virtue of an Act of the last session of Assembly entitled 'An act to ascertain the boundaries of lands and for other purposes.'—All whom it may concern, are therefore desired to TAKE NOTICE, that on Wednesday the third day of June next, I shall attend with the commissioners aforesaid, and sundry witnesses at the said peeled black oak, being the place where my survey of 5000 acres aforesaid does begin; when and where I shall take the depositions of the said witnesses, in order to establish the same, and do such further acts therein as shall be necessary, and as the said law directs.

BY YESTERDAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, April 23. FROM FRANCE—DIRECT.
BY a vessel that arrived here yesterday in 47 days from Bourdeaux, we have the pleasure of learning, that the French continue prosperous beyond all comparison; all that we have heretofore said has been abundantly verified by numerous documents. Alexander's conquests, and Cæsar's victories vanish in fame, before the matchless energies of our Republican friends. The sacred principles of equality, as to rights, prevail—Monarchy is but a dream, and looses strength daily—Humanity had been the order of the day, as a knowledge of their rights and duties pervades the bosom of that immense Republic. The government is simple, but energetic—The passions which effected the revolution, subside, & the natural and amiable character of the most enlightened nation in Europe, is displayed in its full lustre.
Provisions of almost every kind in France are as cheap as in Boston on an average, and in some respects much cheaper. Prizes are brought in daily in such numbers as was never before known—The harbors are crowded with them—and in short, the affairs of the French prosper in almost every point.
All the Americans in France applaud their conduct, and rejoice in their success—And even some who left America reputed Aristocrats, the moment they arrive there, talk of nothing but Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, &c. mount the cockade and sing Ca Ira , in full chorus, with their good allies the Democratic Republicans of France.
The following translation of a letter was handed to the editor by a gentleman of veracity—(we have the original in our possession)—dated Paris, 4th Pluviôse, (23d Jenuary,) 3d year of the Republic.
From the examination of the papers of Mr. GENET, and from information derived from some other particular sources, the committee of public safety have been convinced that the Government of the United States were not friendly to our own—in consequence of which, a member of the convention moved to take the matter into consideration, in order to demonstrate to them that fact, but it was overruled on the ground of its being impolitic to agitate a subject of that nature, at that moment, and the order of the day being called for, was decreed accordingly.
"Health and Fraternity!" "Citizen MANGOURLY, the former Consul at Charleston, is now secretary for Foreign Affairs."
NEW-YORK, April 27
It is anticipated, that Hand Bills are preparing to be delivered out on Tuesday morning, informing that Mr. JAY is positively at the Hook, and may be expected up by four o'clock in the afternoon.

NOTICE.
ALL persons having any demands against me as agent for ELLIOT & WILLIAMS , Are desired to bring forward their accounts with proper vouchers to prove their contracts (or services) and receive payment. And any person indebted to Elliott & Williams in account with me, as their agent, are requested to come forward and make payment, as I intend to have all my accounts finally settled (on account of Elliott & Williams ) by the first day of July next.
