EUROPE.
LONDON, November 18.
In the midst of our present embarrassments it must give great satisfaction to our commercial readers to be informed, that the differences between this country and America are at length finally adjusted. The following are the leading terms of the arrangement:
The posts which have been retained by the British since the last treaty of peace are to be restored to the Americans in 18 months.
A commercial intercourse is to take place between America and the British West-Indies, at a low duty on tonnage.
And the important question whether neutral bottoms make free ships is to be referred to Commissioners, who are to make their report at the end of two years.
Government has at length thought proper to take up the nefarious, and so long reprobated business of the forged Assignats. Upwards of eighty foreigners concerned in this infamous traffic, are now in custody of different Messengers, preparatory to their being sent out of the kingdom, under the authority of the Alien bill.
November 25
Yesterday arrived the mail from Holland; and also a servant from his royal highness the Duke of York with dispatches to government. He left the Head Quarters at Arnheim on Friday last.
The news received yesterday is of very considerable importance. We learn that a truce has been signed between the Duke of York & the French General, commanding on the Waal, that their troops should not molest each other; and in consequence of this agreement, both armies are preparing to go into winter quarters. The British headquarters remain at Arnheim; those of the Hereditary Prince of Orange, at Gossel; and those of his brother Prince Frederick at Amerongen, a country seat of Count Athlone.
The news from France is not less interesting; and we find that the moderate party has just obtained another victory over that of terror.
The Convention has passed a decree, permitting such emigrants as have not borne arms against the Republic, to return to their possessions in France, and peaceably to resume their former professions. This measure is the most striking proof we have yet had of the progress of moderatism in that country; and the advancement of the French revolution towards some sort of regular government.
This decree, added to the suspension of arms which has taken place on the Waal, and some districts on the Rhine, may be considered as an happy omen of returning tranquility.
We understand that Mr. Jay is about to set out from this country to Paris, on business of very great importance to this kingdom, and to all Europe.
November 26.
By an American ship arrived from L'Orient, we learn that there are now on the stocks, at that place, three ships of 84 guns, two of 74, and three frigates. All these were laid down only in August last, and the builders have contracted that they shall be ready for sea in April next, or they will forfeit their heads.
Forty sail of vessels have lately arrived at L'Orient from America, laden with provisions—which, on the departure of the American vessel, were to proceed to Brest; where, it is said, 42 ships of war are ready to sail as soon as the above convoy arrives.—The Brest fleet is at present in great want of provisions.
General Fox has lately had two interviews with the French General Pichegru.
December 1.
HOLLAND, Lange-Strate, Nov. 21 We are, it seems, consigned to ruin and destruction. A calamity more dreadful than the arrival of the French has befallen us, and we are at once bereft of every thing we possess. By the injudicious cutting of the dykes to inundate the country, all the environs of this place, for several miles round, are irrecoverably lost; and we much doubt if ever the waters can be drained off.
Almost all the houses are under water; several are absolutely out of sight; and the number of cattle lost is considerable.
The important trust of inundating the country, was given to persons altogether ignorant of the effects of the waters, and those whose province it was to superintend the whole, declined it, on account of the inhabitants, who, almost to a man, voted against the measure.
December 3.
In our paper of Monday, we mentioned, that M. de la Fayette had escaped from his prison. It appears, that he had been separated from Alexander Lameth, and the other companions of his misfortune, and conveyed to Olmutz, in Bohemia. Two gentlemen had gone to Olmutz, for the purpose of devising means to get him off. They succeeded, and to avoid suspicion in passing through the country, one of them went with a Fayette, while the other took a different road. The latter was taken; but there is reason to believe, that La Fayette and his companion have been more fortunate.
A letter has been received by the Supreme Council at Warsaw, from General Kotcziusko, who states that he is allowed proper medical assistance, and that his wounds are healing.
AMERICA.
BOSTON, January 27.
COMMERCIAL TREATY.
The following extracts of letters, are from good authorities in England, to mercantile gentlemen of the first characters in this place. London, Nov. 27
'Since the execution of the TREATY between the UNITED STATES and this COUNTRY, has been announced, in the Gazette, the American Funds have taken a start.'
'The Treaty you will be pleased with, and your newspapers, go by the Aurora, Hovey.'
GENERAL NEWS.
The oral information given by Captain G. is rather of a negative nature. He says Amsterdam was not taken. There had been no late naval engagement, the British fleet was in port; neither of the allied powers had negotiated a peace, though many respectable merchants with whom captain G. conversed, imagined the war would not continue three months longer.
Earl Moira had the command of the British army defending Holland; the Duke of York, having gone to England to be present at the marriage of the Prince of Wales, which, however, had since been postponed to spring, by reason of the difficulty of getting the betrothed Princes from the continent.
Captain Greenleaf from England, mentions a disagreeable report—that an American brig, bound from France to a northern port on the continent, was run down by a Swedish vessel, in the English channel, and every soul on board perished, except Mr. Williams, supercargo, who was, by some means happily saved. It is apprehended that Mr. Samuel Williams of this town is the man. [Salem Gaz.]
NEW-YORK, January 31.
Extract of letter from the Hon. John Jay, to his brother, Mr.
Frederick Jay, in this city, dated November 21.
'It will give you pleasure to be informed that the treaty I was sent here to negotiate, was signed the day before yesterday.'
PHILADELPHIA, February 2.
Extract of a letter from a very respectable house in London, to his friend in this country, dated the 6th December, 1794.
'The treaty has actually been signed between the United States and Great Britain, and published in our Gazettes—In consequence thereof the price of American stock has risen very considerably, particularly Bank Stock, which is at one hundred and twenty-four pounds sterling a share, dividend to the purchaser.'
The above was received on Saturday evening, by an express who left Boston on Tuesday last; from the Boston Mercury of that date.
February 4.
Letters from London by the Elizabeth, arrived at New-York, informs that Mr. Adams, minister of the United States to the United Provinces, arrived at the Hague the 6th November, when he delivered his credentials, and was recognized in his public character, by their high mightinesses the States General—after which he had his audience of the Stadtholder, and is since arrived at Amsterdam.
Lexington, March 28.
Last week a boat coming down the Ohio, ran on a log called a Sawyer, and was lost; the crew saved themselves by getting on the Sawyer, where they remained 24 hours before they were taken off by other boats—it is said five or six thousand pounds worth of merchandise was lost with the boat.
Indian News.
By a gentleman just from the salt works we are informed, that the Indians stole a number of horses from that place last week, that they also killed a man on Goose creek.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Sumner county (Cumberland) to the Editor hereof, dated March 17, 1795.
'An express from the Mountain Leader, to gen. Robinson, arrived the 14th inst. by which we are informed that capt. Colbert (a half blood) with a party of Chickasaws, pursued a party of Creeks, killed ten of them, and took six prisoners.'
'The Mountain Leader says to gen. Robinson, "Do not wait to consult the President or any other person, but count your men and come on."
As to Holland and England, there appears no information of a peace with either of them, and it would seem that nothing short of complete CONQUEST will decide in these cases. The conquest of HOLLAND is almost completed, and an eternal war with our quondam friends the BRITISH nation, seems to be the plan of the national convention of our great ally—Their NAVY must be reduced, and their GOVERNMENT reformed to the relief of the people, who have long been duped by a bribed representation in conjunction with a corrupt administration, who pay no regard to the happiness of the people: whose sole ambition is conquest to erect which air castles of Kubian value, they spread war and carnage from pole to pole, to the misery and murder of millions of their fellow creatures.
From this view then, the prospect of PEACE is slender indeed—and as this view is authentic, and the deductions rational upon a parity of reasoning, our citizens ought not to be deceived—
nor suffer the wished for peace to mislead their judgments.
The following paragraphs from a letter dated Sept. 13th, from a gentleman in England, to an inhabitant of Kentucky, shew the precarious situation of the friends of liberty in that country.
'I was lately threatened with a prosecution for obstructing the king's service, and using seditious language in persuading a young man at his mother's desire from enlisting a soldier. At Mrs. —'s intigation, whose mind was much agitated and distressed, at the apprehended consequences of such a measure, I took some steps towards embarking for America. In the mean time, however, the threat appeared to be evaporating. It looked as if nothing could come of it. Nothing has come of it; though counsellor Franklin, who examined the youth told his mother that information of my conduct was sent up, &c. above.'
'Mr. — the Calvinistic minister at —, worth several thousands, a sensible man, and of a liberal spirit, urges it upon me to enquire of you, whether he could indulge the hope of meeting with a congregation in Kentucky. While I have been writing this letter, I have been called from my study to a man of — a cooper; to answer enquiries about Kentucky, who tells me that many of that town are determined to embark next spring, and turn their views to that part of America.'
* A town in which the woolen manufacture is carried on.
The President of the United States has appointed by the advice and consent of the Senate, Oliver Wolcott, jun. esq. Secretary of the treasury of the United States, in the room of Alexander Hamilton esq. resigned.
A Philadelphia paper of Feb. 14 says "The hon. John Cobb esq. one of the Representatives of Massachusetts in the Congress of the United States, we are told, is appointed Post-Master General."
From a London Paper.
General Kosciuszko is recovering of his wounds; when he is completely recovered, it is said, that he is to undergo a trial.
He was arrived, together with the other Polish Generals, at Kiow.
The following is an authentic letter from one of the first mercantile houses in London to a merchant in Baltimore, dated London Nov. 22, 1794.
'Sir,'
'We have the satisfaction to inform you, that the treaty between Great Britain, and the United States, was signed the 19th instant. We are not accurately acquainted with the terms as to detail them, but we know that Mr. Jay and the duke of Portland have declared them to be so liberal that they leave no doubt they will give general satisfaction.'
'We heartily congratulate you on this event, which by doing away all the grounds of misunderstanding, will unite the two countries on the footing of amity that is natural to them, and which will contribute to the welfare and prosperity of both. If we learn the particulars we will communicate them to you at foot.'
Extract of a letter from Baltimore, dated February 3.
"There is nothing new here at present but the following, which I have just received from the Custom house:—That there are arrived in the Chesapeake two French line of battle ships and three frigates: that they have on board an Ambassador from the National Convention to the United States; and it is reported he has with him a new treaty between France and

America. As several English ships of war have been lately cruising off our coasts, probably this French fleet may fall in with them; in that case, we may expect soon to hear of an engagement."
The last advices from Morocco, render it highly probable that there is no longer any danger to the shipping of the United States; from the cruisers of that kingdom.
The National Convention have decreed that a flag with the national colours should be sent to America to be presented to Congress in token of eternal union between the two countries.
The armies of the eastern Pyrenees has gained very important advantages over the Spaniards. On the 17th and 20th November, they defeated the enemy and took all their cannon, most of their tents, baggage, &c.
While victory accompanies the French armies in the field, and justice and moderation triumph over intrigue and the partizans of club government, the republic is in great want of provisions and raw materials for manufacture. Petitions on those subjects are constantly carried from various departments to convention.
Mr. Mitchel, the English resident at Berlin, during the second Silesian war, in communicating to the king of Prussia the intelligence of some advantage obtained over the enemy, made use of the following expression:—'By the help of God we have gained a victory over the French.' 'What,' said the king, 'is God one of our allies?' 'yes certainly' replied the Ambassador, 'and the only one who demands no subsidies of us.'
The Company which advertised to start from the Crab-Orchard on the first of April, have agreed, on account of the badness of the weather, to postpone the time to the fifth, on which day they mean to start early thro' the Wilderness.
