Acts passed at a session of the General-Court begun and holden at Concord, Dec. 1794.
An Act for extending the boundaries of certain towns.
Whereas the several towns in this State adjoining Connecticut river, are bounded by the Easterly banks of said river, by reason whereof, the Islands, Ferries, Bridges, &c. in and upon said river cannot by law be taxed by said towns: For remedy whereof—
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General-Court convened, That the northerly and southerly lines of each of the several towns aforesaid, be, and they hereby are continued and extended across said river, to the westerly line of this State; which line shall hereafter be considered as the bounding westerly line of said towns.
Provided nevertheless, That nothing in this act contained, shall be construed to effect the grants of any such islands, bridges ferries, &c. heretofore made, nor prevent the making of grants in future of such islands, bridges, ferries, locks, canals, and other conveniences for the public benefit, nor the right of fishing in said river, and using the same as a public highway as heretofore.
Approved January 6, 1795.

And it shall be lawful for any person to destroy any seine, net, or fish pot, which shall be set or continued contrary to this act.
And be it further enacted, That each town adjoining Merrimac, Pemigawasset or Winnepissaukee rivers, or on any streams falling therein, where Salmon, Shad, or Alewives do, or heretofore have been known to frequent, shall, at their annual meeting choose some suitable persons as fish wardens, not exceeding seven, nor less than three, at the discretion of the town so choosing, whose duty it shall be to see that the laws for the preservation of fish on said rivers, are duly observed; and if any person legally chosen by any of said towns, shall neglect or refuse, after being lawfully notified of his appointment, to take the oath prescribed by this act, or execute the office, he shall forfeit and pay ten dollars, to any person who will sue for the same, with cost as aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That the following shall be the oath to be administered to any person chosen as fish warden: You swear that you will to the best of your ability, see that the laws for the preservation of fish on Merrimac, Pemigawasset, and Winnepissaukee rivers, so far as they respect the rivers and waters contiguous to the town of _____, are observed and kept according to the true intent and meaning thereof.

PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that whereas by an act of said State, passed the 15th day of June, A.

Federal Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 31.
THE Clerk read a communication from the Secretary at War, as to the means of supporting a peaceable intercourse with the Indians.
The House then went on the naturalization bill. Mr. W. Smith made a motion altogether, and leaving exactly as it now stands, the law regarding citizens of America, who become citizens of other countries. This was rejected.
After some further discussion, Mr. Giles proposed a new clause, which was in substance that all such aliens, who had borne any hereditary title, or titles of nobility in other countries, should make a renunciation of such titles, before they can enjoy any right of citizenship. This renunciation is to be made in the Court where they claim to a right of citizenship. Mr. Giles said if we did any thing to prevent an improper mixture of foreigners with the Americans, this measure seemed to him one that might be useful.
Mr. W. Smith was entirely opposed to the motion. An attempt of this kind had been made some years ago, in the Legislature of one of the states, but dropt again as having been seen to be improper. The mind of the public is completely guarded against the introduction of titles, and they will never be current here. You cannot hinder a man from calling another Viscount. You cannot declare this a crime.
Mr. Smith doubted whether the house had, by the constitution, any right of making such a law. They were directed not to grant any titles, but their authority did not extend to the taking away of titles from persons who were not born in the country. The marquis de la Fayette has been distinguished all over the continent by the title of 'The Marquis.' Mr. Smith hoped that he would one day be again in America, and then he would very likely be called Marquis again. By this law, it would be illegal. The member then went into a long detail on English nobility, and explained the difference between several kinds of titles.
Mr. Giles did not think his motion positively necessary, but it might be useful. It seemed to be a growing practice with some gentlemen in the house, to treat the most serious subjects with ridicule. He for his own part, considered this conduct as highly improper.
Mr. Dexter was as averse to titles as any man in the house, but he did not like to make laws against them. An alien might as well be obliged to make a renunciation of his connexions with the Jacobin club. This one was fully as abhorrent to the constitution as the other.
Mr. Page highly recommended the motion of his colleague. He mentioned a particular occasion at New-York, where the word honorable had been applied in Congress to a particular body. [It was not possible to hear the member exactly.] He had proposed to strike out this word honorable . He was ridiculed, but he stood to his point, and carried it by a great majority. If the Marquis la Fayette was to return to America, he would behave with the frank manners which became a republican.—The case might be very different with a British peer with his star and garter, and other baubles of that sort. If he was called My Lord Duke , or My Lord , or any other of these foolish names, it might tickle the ears of some people, and make them like the custom.
Mr. Giles in reply to Mr. Dexter, said that if a thing be implied in the constitution, where is the harm of expressing it? This is said to be implied in the constitution, and therefore it is needless to express it. Now this was one of the very best arguments which could be thought of in favor of the motion. At the time when the constitution was made, nobody could foresee the strange turn which affairs have taken, or that there might be a danger from an inundation of titled fugitives. Indeed, if no better reasoning could be adduced against his motion, than that employed by the gentleman from South Carolina, he was not likely to think worse of it. That gentleman had objected to the adoption of the motion, because it agrees with the public mind. He says that the dispositions of the people will of themselves be sufficient to exclude the use of titles. It was certainly no reason against making a law in Congress, that it would exactly meet the wishes of the people. The motion might be useful. Mr. Giles hoped that it would pass. Foreigners coming here with titles, never will voluntarily renounce them. Mr. Giles reminded the House, that his proposal went only to the renunciation of titles, when the party concerned wanted to become a citizen.
Mr. W. Smith said, that the fact was against the gentleman. The Foreigners coming to this country, had renounced their titles, and called themselves only by their plain names.—Why might there not be interdiction against persons connected with the Jacobin club? Why not forbid the wearing of certain badges of distinction used by the Jacobins.
Mr. Madison approved of the motion. He regarded it as exactly to the business in hand, to exclude all persons from citizenship, who would not renounce forever their connection with titles of nobility. The propriety of the thing would be illustrated by this reflection, that if any titled orders had existed in America before the revolution, they would infallibly have been abolished by it.
Mr. Giles said, that the debate had turned upon those people called Jacobins. Both these and the persons with titles, were dangerous to the country. Some of the former part of the regulations in this proposed act, had an eye to them. He would have more faith in an individual who came forward in an open court, and renounced his connections with nobility. He was
willing to withdraw for the present his motion. The committee went through the bill and rose, and the chairman reported it with amendments. Adjourned at three o'clock.
THURSDAY, Jan. 1. REDUCTION OF SALARIES.
After some private business had been dispensed with,
Mr. Clairborne rose. He said, that he had long waited for some other gentleman to bring forward the very important proposition, which at length devolved upon his hands. He was not unapprized that it would draw down upon him the contempt, and perhaps the calumny too, of many. But the consolation of having honestly done his duty, and what the interest of his country demanded, buoyed above a timid concern for the malicious reproaches of those whose private and personal interests alone were affected by his proposition, and from whom alone he expected to be attacked. A thorough conviction of the propriety of it, would be a sufficient salvo for even a disappointment, and would enable him to meet with composure and firmness, all the heavy artillery of oratory that might be levelled against him. This proposition was intended to redress the greatest and best founded complaints against the government, viz. exorbitant salaries to Congress, and the Executive Officers of Government. He was more anxious about the success of this proposition, than about any sentiments which might be entertained respecting the motives that had brought it forward, for it was reduced almost to a system to suspect gentlemen of sinister views, who advance propositions respecting pecuniary matters. Those who share the honors, must be content to share the hardships of war. With these impressions, he begged leave to lay the following motion on the table. He had intended that it should be more comprehensive, but his hands were tied by the Constitution. The motion was not very distinctly heard; but the following is as nearly as could be obtained, a copy of it:
Resolved, That a committee ought to be appointed to bring in a bill, or bills, to amend the act entitled an act for establishing the salaries of the Executive Officers of Government, and their Assistants and Clerks; and an act for allowing compensation to the Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States, and to the Officers of both Houses, and to reduce all such salaries, as, in the opinion of the said committee will bear reducing.
The resolution was ordered to lie on the table.
NATURALIZATION.
The House then went on the consideration of the report of the Committee of the whole on the Naturalization Bill.
Mr. Giles then rose to make his promised motion, as to the exclusion of any foreign emigrant from citizenship who had borne a title of nobility in Europe, till he had formally renounced it.
Mr. Dexter would vote for the resolution, if the gentleman would agree to an amendment. The words of Mr. Dexter's amendment were nearly these, "And also in case any such alien shall hold any person in slavery, he shall renounce it, and declare that he holds all men free and equal."
Mr. Dexter complained of the attempt to take the yeas and nays, as a design to hold up certain people to public odium. He would withdraw his amendment, if the gentleman would withdraw his motion.
A question of adjournment was carried by 43 against 29. So the motion of Mr. Giles stands over till to-morrow.
European Intelligence.
By an arrival at New-York.
THE DUKE OF YORK'S ARMY.
Arnheim, Oct. 21.
From our Correspondent.
On my entrance into this town, I found 5000 of the Duke of York's army drawn off from Nimeguen where however, a strong body is still left to defend it; yet is generally looked on as a devoted place. It was terrible to see the relicks of the brave 37th regiment marching along. Sixty-two men, and two officers, a Mr. Lewis, and the Major of the regiment, form this melancholy remnant; the rest have been totally cut off, owing as it is said, partly to a stratagem of the enemy, and partly to the indiscretion of a soldier of our own, who neglected in his cups, to deliver an esafette to the Duke, that discovered this stratagem. It is lamentable to see our brave fellows lying along the dirty roads of this country, to centinel the banks of the rivers, while the natives rather wish for invasion than defence. The different higher powers seem also to forget, that by union all great and difficult things are effected: Nay, Dutch themselves no longer remember the motto of their own ducats—"Small things by concord grow great."
The Duke of York fixed his head-quarters here this day. His spirited answer to the faithless commander of the lost garrison of Bois-le-Duc, does him honour. The latter delivered in with the capitulation, an undemanded list of the names of the emigrants—those very emigrants who had been fighting by his side. General Pichegru asked why that list was sent? He would have held his hand over his eyes and passed by on the other side; instead of which, 400 men were massacred in the most inhuman manner.—This very commander demanded a vindicating audience of our commander in chief—"Tell him (said the Duke) I consider his entering my camp as an insult and never will hold converse with him, and trust my army will follow my example."
A letter from fort St. Andre, Isle of Bommel, dated the 20th inst. has the following passage:
On Friday last, through an unfortunate mistake, the Dutch fired upon the picket of Capt. Christy, six rounds of grape shot, one of which tore off the great part of Capt. Christy's forehead, in consequence of which he languished in great agony till morning, and then died; he was a brave and most useful officer. Two battalions of the guards marched into the island last night, and this day 800, part of the 80th. and 84th arrived. We are exerting our utmost efforts to defend the pass, the only one which is practicable to the French, and which is but forty rods over. If our efforts prove unsuccessful, we must move off immediately, for they could erect batteries that would destroy the vessels, which are our only means of escape."
OCTOBER 25.
The Duke of Brunswick has at length accepted the chief command of the allied forces in Holland; and is expected every day at Nimeguen.—The Duke of York, it is said, will serve under him for the present, but it is thought his Royal Highness will probably return home in the winter.
OCTOBER 30.
No Messenger had arrived at the Secretary of State's office, at a late hour last night.
A general inclination for Peace seems to pervade at this time the United Provinces, and the States General we are assured, have declared in favor of an immediate negotiation, for the purpose of obtaining that desirable end, and saving their country from the ruin which otherwise awaits it. This determination of their High Mightinesses is to be communicated to the several Allied Courts, and Mr. Fagel is the gentleman appointed to make it known to the Government of this Kingdom.
Yesterday letters were sent off from Lord Grenville's office to Lord St. Helen, his Majesty's Ambassador at the Hague.
Letters from Rotterdam report, that the French have defeated the allied troops before Nimeguen, and taken possession of that fortress. They add, that the French have made overtures to M. Bernstorff, for a general Peace, whose answer was, that he could not undertake such a weighty business, without the consent of England.
Letters from Tiel and Bommel state, that the utmost consternation reigns in both these places, which are considered in imminent danger. The bombardment of the former is vigorous and tremendous, and does considerable mischief daily.
The 87th as well as the 54th regiment suffered very severely, in endeavouring to save the 37th regiment from being cut off in the action of the 19th inst. Col. Rofs was not engaged in the affair.
The Russian General Suwarrows crossed the river Bug the latter end of September, attacked the Polish army, dispersed them, and took all their artillery, consisting of twenty-eight pieces of cannon. He afterwards marched towards the Vistula, to join General Ferfen, which Kosciusko instantly set out with his army to prevent.
The report of the defeat of Kosciusko's army, we are happy to find, gains little credit.
The French have put in requisition 6000 young girls in Brabant, to attend the sick in their military hospitals.
So bravely did the British troops fight in the affair of the 19th, that many of them have since been enlarged for their valor. "You are damn'd brave fellows (said they) so begone."
On the 17th the Tree of Liberty was planted at Bois-le-Duc with great solemnity, where the strictest discipline is observed by the Republicans, and affignats pass current.
The Grand Pensionary, FAGELL, is not yet arrived in England. His Secretary and part of his suit arrived on Monday which gave rise to the report of his being come. He is expected by the first vessel.
The afflicting rumor which was received on Tuesday of the defeat of the Poles, and the capture of the gallant Kosciusko has had a deeper impression upon the public mind than we thought it possible for any calamity arising from the tyranny of courts to make on our hearts. Every company, every circle drop the tear of pity on their fate, and even the advocates for similar outrages in other countries, apologize for their support of our scheme of subjugation, by their condolence on the success of the unprincipled attack on Poland.
It is most devoutly to be hoped that the rumor is untrue. It comes from the most questionable quarter.—There are letters in town of a later date than the 17th, from Berlin, whence the report is said to have come, and they do not mention it. To account for this, the undaunted advocates for the report now tell us that the battle was fought on the 19th inst. and they are not dismayed by the improbability of transmitting this account from the interior of Poland so rapidly. In short, every thing is against the report, but the prejudices of the men who are bent on the reduction of their species.
We know for certain, that in consequence of the defeat of the Polish General Sierakowski, on the 18th and 19th of September, Kosciusko, with a part of his army, marched directly to that quarter; and that on his approach, the Russian General, Suwarrows, instead of following up his victory, thought it prudent to retreat. The Poles are supposed to have exposed themselves to a second defeat, by pursuing him too closely. Admitting the report to be true, it can be understood only of a part of their army not of the main body.—According to some accounts, Kosciusko himself was wounded; according to others taken prisoner. But supposing the worst to have happened, there is no reason why the friends of humanity and justice should be dismayed; for when a whole people rise in defence of their liberties, the issue of the contest depends not on the fortune of a single army, or a single leader. The French are fixed in the Berlin Gazette
to be in possession of Coblentz; but the intelligence is evidently premature. It appears, however, that they have bombarded Mulheim, nearly destroyed Dusseldorf, seized on Bonn, captured a float of wood, falling down the Rhine, valued at 200,000 thalers, and spread terror and consternation throughout Germany.
The French found 300,000 florins in the military chest taken at Bois-le-Duc. Nimeguen is said to be in possession of the French.
The Hereditary Prince of Orange, accompanied by the Duke of York, went last week to Amsterdam, and proposed to the Regency to introduce 6000 British troops into the city. Several merchants on receiving advice of this proposition, immediately drew up a remonstrance in which they declared "that if the Regency should consent to the proposition of opening the sluices, cutting the dykes, and permitting the English army to enter the town, the inhabitants would oppose in the most vigorous manner, the execution of such a plan. They entreated the Regency to put their confidence in the Burgers, and not endanger the security of individuals by an opposition to their wishes."
OCTOBER 31.
It is now considered as certain, that the King of Prussia has formally notified our Ministers his intention of withdrawing all his troops from the war against France, except his contingent as a Prince of the Empire; and as he has various unliquidated claims on the other States of the Empire, he will most probably find a pretext for withdrawing his contingent also.
NOVEMBER 1.
The official account published by authority of the Supreme National Council of Warlaw, dated Sept. 19, state, that the Polish troops continued to harrafs the retreating Prussians, who were laying waste the country, plundered the inhabitants, were carrying off all the horses, cattle, and provisions they could lay hold on, and were aggravating by every possible calamity, the already but too unfortunate fate of the people.
LONDON, Oct. 20.
Accounts from the Lower Elbe, state, that intelligence has been received from Ratibon, that the diet have agreed to debate the question on the cessation of hostilities—that the coadjutor of Mayence, will proceed to Paris, for Paris, for the purpose of accelerating it—and that the grefier of Holland, is said to have gone to London, to remove the obstacles to a negotiation of peace with France.
Extract of a letter from Frankfort, Oct. 21. "The coadjutor of Mayence, is arrived here. We have intelligence that Peace is actually proposed, and that a cessation of arms will also take place."
A letter from Amsterdam, dated Oct. 25, contains the following Resolves of the states of Friesland.
1. To acknowledge the French Republic. 2. To conclude a peace with the same. 3. To alter the constitution according to the wishes of the Republic. 4. To enter into an alliance with the government of France. 5. To dissolve that between England and Prussia. 6. To relinquish the individual interest of the Hereditary Stadtholder and his family, for the public good. 7. The exiled patriots to be recalled and indemnified.
FROM RATIBON, OCT. 16.
The Elector Palatine has made a proposition in the diet, for concluding an honorable and speedy peace with the French Republic.
OCTOBER 26.
The French General who commands in the barony of Breda, has required a list from Hoevres, Etten, and other villages, of whatever has been furnished by requisitions to the French army; the value of which, shall be paid by way of exchange, with the respective municipalities, at the house of the widow Nettine and Son, at Brussels.
HAMBURGH, Nov. 1.
Different accounts relate that the Russians have had several severe engagements with the Poles, in which the latter seem to have been generally much worsted; and as great numbers of the vanquished would not ask pardon of their conquerors, they were butchered on the spot. On the 10th of October, Kosciusko, with his whole army was totally defeated by the Russian General VAN FERSEN; himself, and three other generals, were taken prisoners; in consequence of which several Russian divisions were marching against Warsaw, where great dissatisfaction prevailed, and many insisted on imploring forgiveness from their enemies. In short, the different accounts from Poland are of so gloomy a nature, that it is expected the Polish revolution will be soon settled, to the satisfaction of the generous Catherine and Frederick William.
PARIS, Oct. 16.
We are assured that the Carpenter of Nantz who worked on the ( Bateaux a soupape ) Suction Boat, for the drownings ordered by the revolutionary committee, having been required to appear in the affair of the member whose trial has been ordered, was assassinated on the way.
OCTOBER 17.
The too famous Revolutionary Committee of Nantz, is this day before the Tribunal.
OCTOBER 18.
The proceedings in the trial continue. Almost all the depositions which have been examined rather criminate the representative Carrier, than the Committee accused.

Dubois Crance alone has not been explicit in his information. He insists that he was solely engaged at the time in regimenting the soldiers of the requisition. He says moreover, that such were the terror and dismay of Nantz, that no person came near him, till he ventured to speak to him.
He confesses that in descending the river Loire he saw the water purpled with blood, and the banks striped with dead bodies, which had been cast ashore by the stream.
NORFOLK, Dec. 24.
On Monday last arrived here, the brig Carey, Capt. Waller, in 65 days from Lisbon. Capt. Waller says, it was reported at Lisbon, that three Saltee rovers were out, to capture all vessels they could come across, without respect to nations. They had taken two Portuguese, and one Spanish vessel; they sold the cargoes, but did not retain the vessels, or make slaves of the crews.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 9.
The exports from the city of Philadelphia, in the quarter of 1794, ending on the 30th September, amount to 2,083,613 dollars.
BOSTON, January 22.
BRITISH DEPREDATIONS.
[From a New-York Paper of January 14.]
Extract of a letter from Mr. Samuel Phillips, supercargo of the sloop Betsey, to his owner, David Gelson, Esq. of this city. Halifax, Dec. 25, 1794.
Dear Sir,
"I am sorry to inform you that the sloop and cargo are condemned as French property— "it is done on suspicion; they have no proof that any part of the cargo is French property."
The above sloop Betsey and cargo was wholly American property, and was captured on the 10th November by a certain Alexander Cochran, commander of his most sacred Majesty's frigate Thetis , a few leagues from New-London, with a valuable cargo of coffee, worth more than ten thousand dollars, and not a Frenchman or a farthing of French property on board. But it seems the temptation was too great to escape the rapacity of his Majesty's officers—And we are credibly informed, on Capt. Cochran's being told who was the owner of the sloop, said he knew him very well, and at Halifax made affidavit, that he (the owner) was doing business for Frenchmen, and the vessel and cargo were French property. Thus, while Mr. Jay is negotiating at the Court of Great-Britain, and Mr. Pitt declaring that the government of England is very anxious for the preservation of peace with the American nation, his Majesty's ships are protecting our trade, by plundering our citizens on our own coast, insulting our flag and condemning our vessels. How long shall the citizens of the United States tamely submit to these depredations on their property and be amused with Mr. Pitt's "anxiety for the preservation of peace with the American nation," when it is evident, by the late practices of his pirates and robbers that his anxiety for peace can be nothing further than a with that we would not resent the capture and condemnation of our vessels, the impressing of our fellow-citizens on board British ships of war, and an humble submission of our government to the will and pleasure of the Court of Great-Britain.
The Thetis frigate, it is said, has been got off, and towed into Hampton road. We have not heard what damage she sustained.
The above frigate, we are informed, has failed from Hampton road with the Cleopatra and Lynx , for Halifax.
JOHN ROSS, Esq. has been recognized by the President of the United States, as Consul General from the "free imperial city of Hamburg."
POLITICAL SUMMARY.
—EXTRACTED—
From EUROPE.
The latest accounts are really pleasing, particularly that which establishes a precedent for the discharge of all the prisoners in England committed for High Treason, viz. the verdict of the jury upon the trial of Hardy, late President of the corresponding society, which was, not guilty. A reform in parliament was the principle he had espoused. There was a formidable mob around the Old Bailey at several crises, which the military only could quell—the solicitor-general and court are said to have treated the prisoners with great lenity and generosity. Mr. Erskine, most ably managed the defence of the prisoner, to whom the populace showed their sentiment and their gratitude, by unharnessing his horses, and drawing him in triumph to his house, who congratulated the people in a short address. Hardy also, who strove to avoid it, was dragged in triumph through many streets to his sad home, far, alas, his bosom friend, his wife; had died of grief.—The other trials were to come on the 10th Nov. This one trial fills many columns.
Howe's fleet, of 18 ships and 10 frigates, put to sea, Nov. 10, from Torbay, says the Capt. of the John , lately arrived at New-York, who saw it get under way, and says, that a confirmation was received, of the capture of the Cork fleet, with their convoy, two 74's and three frigates. The French fleet of 30 ships were in the channel.
Admiral Crosby was on his return from the Mediterranean with a squadron of men of war and considerable treasure. On whose account great uneasiness was expressed.
No news from the continent had transpired in London on the 6th Nov.
Capt. Dewar, of the John brought letters from Mr. Pinckney and Mr. Jay for the secretary of state.
The Duke of York's head quarters would seem to be a flying-camp when our last accounts left him about Arnheim, his army was pitifully crippled, and the citizens of
Amsterdam refusing his protection from the French with disdain, exclaiming, or seeming to exclaim, "we had rather open our gates to the French, than have it said, that the Capital of Holland owed its protection to George the third!" Great consternation reigned there, the great majority declaring for the French.
The French victories of Oct. 14, 15, & 19, were more dreadful than we have portrayed. Their victories extend to every quarter where the invincible Sans Culottes advance; the great Hohenlohe, and band, with other Austrian and Prussian legions upon the borders of Germany have also felt the smart—And Dugommier the hero of Toulon, with his numerous and victorious army is besieging Gironna, on the river Ter, 26 miles from Bellegrade, on his way to Barcelona, between which, after taking this town, there is nothing to check the victorious career of the Carmagnoles. Pampalona is also said to be besieged, on the road to Madrid, the capital. The armies of the western and eastern Pyrenees have an uninterrupted line of posts on the Spanish territory, from the bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean sea.
The Genoese breach of neutrality will not be effected by the British Machiavelian intrigues, manœuvring by Lord Hood; which intrigues extend quite to Scilly, of the people of which country, the King of Naples demanded their superfluous plate, and an additional tax, to which he was replied by the people—that the war by the King of Naples was illegal.
In Piedmont also, the French continue to be successful; they were on a march against Saluzzo, which it was thought must fall.
Lord Hood is said to have failed from Genoa, in search of a French fleet in the Mediterranean, said to be of superior force.
Kosciusko, previous to his march from Warsaw, nominated and recommended Major Gen. Dombrowsky as his successor, should he be killed or taken prisoner. The account of his defeat we fear is true—it would seem authentic; but it is not doubted, but the patriotic Poles will still rally round the standard of liberty, and, enmasse, soon defeat the infernal plots of their task masters. But,
In South Prussia, the Poles prosper, where, near Lithuania, they have beaten the Prussian army, with great slaughter.
Carrier's trial for the enormities he committed at Nantz, under the administration of the conspirator Robespierre, fills the Paris papers. We rejoice to find, that the measures in France are softening every day.
If peace does not soon take place, it will be because the hydra tyranny has renewed its vigor, and crushed the aspiring sons of France—for peace is talked of by almost every Court in Europe.
CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS.
Joseph Pitcairn, Vice Consul of the United States of America, at Paris, in the Republic of France.
William Vans, jun. Consul, &c. for the port of Morlaix, in the Republic of France.
Philip Feliechy, Consul, &c. for the port of Leghorn.
John Miller Russel, Consul, &c. for the port of St. Peterburgh, in the dominions of her Imperial Majesty.
FRENCH POLITENESS.
The French treat the British with very little ceremony.
A London paper of Oct. 20, says, PICHEGRU sent a public message to the Duke of YORK, intimating to him—"That as he meant to make Nimeguen the seat of his winter quarters, he would be much obliged to Citizen YORK to remove with all convenient speed. He was sorry to be obliged to disturb him so often ; but he was convinced from his former civility , that he would make no hesitation in complying with his request." The Duke took the hint, and very politely fell back to Arnheim , where our last accounts left him.
Citizen BARTHELEMY, the celebrated author of the Travels of Anacharsis the younger, who is now in the 81st year of his age, has been lately liberated by the Revolutionary Tribunal , from prison, where he has been confined upwards of ten months.
Citizen PASCAL, the former Secretary of Citizen GENET, has also been liberated. He was confined by order of ROBESPIERRE, and had his papers seized, immediately upon his arrival in France, from America.
Copied from the ( Lon. ) Morning Chronicle , of the 25th October, received by the brig Eagle , at New-York.
James Brown, boot closer, eat a turkey weighing seven pounds and a half—a hand of pork, weighing four pounds and a half—a two penny loaf—a shillings worth of oysters—two penny pies—and drank a gallon of porter—half a pint of gin—and a shillings worth of punch, for a wager of a guinea; and performed it with ease in thirty-five minutes, at the Sun public-house, Charles street, Westminster, Oct. 20—Ministers should land this man in France without delay, if they have yet any hopes of reducing that country by famine.
—DIED—

VIENNA, Oct. 5.
The veil which has covered the negotiation of the British commissioners, is removed by degrees; and we learn, from good authority, that England proposes to recognise and proclaim Louis XVIII. king of the French.
NORFOLK, Jan. 3.
Yesterday afternoon arrived the brig two Sisters, Capt. Byrns, in 19 days from Statia. The Capt. informs that a British fleet of eight sail of the line and some frigates, with 7000 troops, had arrived at Barbadoes; and that a government brig had arrived at Statia, with the information, a short time before he failed.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 10.
By a gentleman of this neighborhood, who arrived here from Kentucky on Wednesday last, (says the Virginia Centinel of the 29th ult.) we have received the pleasing intelligence that an exchange of prisoners has actually taken place between General Wayne and the Indians; and that a peace with the hostile tribes is in a fair way of being permanently established.
NEW-YORK, Jan. 8.
Extract of a letter from Mr. Paul R. Randall, to his Father, Mr. Thomas Randall, of this city.
Bermuda, Dec. 18th, 1794.
SENTENCE of condemnation has been pronounced against the schooner Governor Clinton, and her cargo, without any qualification whatever. I most solemnly aver, and my council cannot advise me upon what grounds she is thus adjudicated:—whether we have sinned against the law of nations, against any positive instructions—or, whether there is any secret instructions, or political motive, or other inducement that it would be indecent to guess at, we are totally ignorant. That we have proved her an American vessel, and neutral property, and not engaged in any contraband trade, or entering any port blockaded and besieged, is most certain; and that there was no special charge against her; by all which it must appear, that the sole crime is trading with a French Colony; I leave it to you to draw the conclusion, whether this does not evince a manifest design of provoking the Americans to commit hostilities in an open way.
"I shall of course, enter my appeal—appraisers are already appointed, and they may begin to discharge this day; they attempted to remove her into the country, that this business might be done entirely after their own mind; the Court however, on application, refused to indulge them. I must find security in 5000. sterl. to prosecute the appeal, and they must give bail to return the property. I shall then have nothing further to do than urge the completion of my papers to be carried to the Court of Appeals, as well as regular protests against any special hardships attending my case. I have understood that they do not intend to make me any offer of her, but will send her to England.—I doubt much whether any thing can be done by way of negotiation with them; they seem determined to improve the property, to which I have no objections.
"We are unacquainted with your politics, and have no news from Europe. I must suppose that our policy is peace—we are, however, amused by the British government. Our vessels are seized as in time of war.
"Yesterday a Philadelphia brig was condemned and no quarter can be expected from the Admiralty. Still Mr. Goodrich has relinquished three vessels and offers his privateer, the Experiment for sale. You will judge in what manner this letter should be made public, as I believe the American merchants in general think themselves free from danger—mention it, particularly, to the Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. Harvey, my consul, having read this letter, would give me a certificate to confirm it, but we are about collecting a note of each American case. Gaudet, the owner of the privateer, before the trial, swore he would condemn her, and would make away with her cargo—and said that I might go to Hell for restitution.
JANUARY 14.
From EUROPE.
The fortress of Luxemburgh, is one of the strongest in Europe; the garrison consists of ten thousand men; and the inhabitants not disposed to endure a siege, are permitted to depart. But the French mode of conquering, will probably save the trouble of a long siege—they defeat the covering army and cut off all possibility of succours—and it is then madness in a garrison to sustain a bloody siege.
By not suffering the treasures of Holland, to be landed in England, without paying the duties, England has driven them to the Elbe. At Hamburg, there is more property than can be stored.
The third payment of £ 300,000 sterling, part of the British subsidy, to the King of Prussia, has arrived at Hamburg.
BOSTON, Jan. 26.
Peace in Europe.
Extract of a letter to a gentleman of respectability in this town.
DATED PARIS, Nov. 6, 1794.
"Dear Sir,
"It is with great pleasure we announce to you the good news of this Republic's having made Peace with Prussia—We have it from the most indubitable authority—from a gentleman on the spot:—That on the 19th ult. the treaty was signed at Neufchatel, in Switzerland. "We have reason also to assure you, that articles of a Treaty of Peace with Spain and Sardinia, are now framing; so that any farther hostilities between those powers are now at an end, or near it."
"Germany has sued for Peace a long time since; but she finds an unwillingness to accept the conditions which France has held out to her.
"Austria will be obliged to humble the Eagle Pride, and swallow the Republican dose; otherwise her triple crown may be reduced.
"There is no doubt but the Rhine will be the line of division, and thus German Flanders be added to France, and the right arm of the Seven Provinces cut off.
"Holland under these circumstances can but look despondently at her impotent allies, and accept of what, in mercy, may be granted her; and
"Great-Britain may send forth her windy threats, and her lifeless vengeance, for a few months longer; but the only hope left her is, of having the whole force of this great people, with all their powers and energy, thrown against her this next year, in such a manner; that nothing less than a probable total ruin of that proud and imprudent nation, will be the consequence, unless another piratical capture of defenceless American ships should support her.
"The newly adopted idea here is PEACE WITH ALL THE WORLD, except GREAT-BRITAIN—and the STRICTEST FRIENDSHIP WITH THE AMERICAN STATES.
"The stoppage of paying the freights and cargoes in specie continues still; but you may depend on it however, that the intention of France is good towards Americans, and that finally justice will be done."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Newport, to the Editors, dated Jan. 19.
"A schooner from Guadalupe, is ashore 3 miles to the westward of our Light-House, loaded with Sugar, likely to save but little. The Capt. informs that the whole of the Island of Guadalupe was in possession of the French, and he did not hear of any fleets arriving in the West-Indies. The schooner belongs to Boston, and I hear is owned by Moses Davis and Co."
Arrived at Philadelphia, Captain Smith, from Barbadoes, St. Eustatia, and St. Thomas, informs, that he failed from Barbadoes the 9th Dec. and as he passed to the leeward of Guadalupe on the 12th, saw 7 British ships of war, &c. sailing out of the road of Ballaterre, in consequence of the surrender of Fort Charles to the French. No arrival of any reinforcement, either French or English, excepting the two Men of War at Barbadoes in November.
TO THE PUBLIC.
There has lately been discovered in Suffield, in the state of Connecticut, a mineral Spring, which is almost a certain cure for any person who has a gravelly disorder, by drinking the water. It has cured numbers that have drank it. Any person wishing to try said mineral water, are desired to call on Dr. King in Suffield. Tell. Thomas Noble, Westfield. Westfield, Dec. 25, 1794.

lately succeeded as Ambassador to the republic of France, by Mr. Munroe, takes passage to America in the brig Superb , Capt. Munn, which was ordered from Rochelle, for Nantz, about the first of November, to take on board his effects.
