Published by Authority. Acts passed at a session of the General-Court begun and holden at Concord, Dec. 1794.
An Act for the preservation of Salmon and Shad in Connecticut river. B E it enacted by the Senate and House of Re- presentatives in General-Court convened, That after the passing of this act, if any person shall, between the first day of April, and the first day of July, in any year, catch, kill or de- stroy any Salmon or Shad, in any part of Con- necticut river, within this State, or in any stream within this State, running into said river; or shall use any seine, net, spear or stab, or any kind of machine or instrument, for the purpose of catching Salmon or Shad, within the limits aforesaid, at any other time than between the rising of the sun on Tuesday morning, and the rising of the sun on Saturday morning, in the same week; such person shall for every such offence forfeit the sum of ten dollars, to be recovered with costs of suit, in an action of debt, by any person who shall sue for the same, before any Justice of the Peace, within the county where such offence shall be committed; one half of said sum for the use of the person who shall sue therefor, and the other half for the use of the said county.
And be it further enacted, That if any seine, net, spear or stab, or any kind of machine, or instrument made or used for the purpose of catching Salmon or Shad, at any other time than that which is by this act allowed for catch- ing Salmon and Shad, in said river, shall be found in any part of said river, within this State, or in any of the streams aforesaid, it shall be forfeited to the use and become the property of him or them, who shall find the same and remove it from said river: and if any pot for the purpose of catching fish shall at any time be found within the limits aforesaid, it shall be for- feited and appropriated in manner above men- tioned—and if any person or persons shall be- tween the first day of April, and the first day of July, in any year, set, draw, or use within the limits aforesaid, any seine, or net, more than twenty rods in length, for the purpose of catch- ing Salmon or Shad, such person or persons, shall, for every such offence, forfeit the sum of ten dollars, to be sued for, recovered and ap- propriated in the same manner as the forfeitures for catching Salmon and Shad.
And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of every town within this State, bounding on the State of Vermont, to choose every year, at their annual town meeting, a fish inspector, whose duty it shall be to inspect said river, and to take and remove therefrom every machine and instrument for catching Salmon or Shad, which shall therein be found at any time, other than that by which it is lawful by this act to catch Salmon and Shad in said river; and each of the said inspectors shall be sworn to the faithful performance of his duty, and be hereby authorized to command such assistance as shall be necessary to enable him to remove from said river, every machine and instrument, which shall be forfeited by this act; and every person, who shall be commanded by any one of the in- spectors aforesaid, to assist, and shall actually as- sist him in taking and removing from said river any of the machines, or instruments, forfeited as aforesaid, shall share equally, with such inspec- tor, in the property of the same. Provided ne- vertheless, That the duty and authority of each of said inspectors shall be confined within the limits of the town, wherein he shall be chosen. And be it further enacted, That all acts and laws heretofore made relative to catching Sal- mon or Shad, in Connecticut river, be, and they hereby are repealed.

And be it further enacted, That from and after the last day of November, until the last
day of March, in each year, any horse, horse kind, mule or jack, going at large, with or without fetters, in any highway or common, as aforesaid, the owner or owners, or persons having care thereof, shall be liable to the for- feiture of one dollar, to be recovered by any person who will sue for the same, in manner aforesaid.
And be it further enacted, That any person sustaining any damage in the public highway or common, by any horse or horse kind going at large, with or without fetters, shall recover of the owner or owners, treble the amount of dam- age, with costs of prosecution, by action in any Court competent to try the same: Provided nevertheless, that nothing in this act shall be construed to tolerate any horse, horse kind, mule or jack going at large, that is known to be unruly, by pushing down bars, or any kind of fence, and the same hath been made known to his owner; in every such case the owner or owners thereof, shall be liable to the penalty of one dollar, to be recovered as aforesaid; said horse, horse kind, mule or jack, being fettered notwithstanding.

Approved January 9, 1795. Federal Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, MONDAY, Jan. 5. MR. W. Smith moved that a committee be appointed to inquire and report, whether any or what alteration ought to be made in the act imposing duties on snuff, manufactured within the United States.
The motion was agreed to, and a committee of five members appointed. The House then went into a committee, Mr. Cobb in the chair, on a bill for ascertaining the losses sustained by officers of the revenue and other citizens, by the insurgents in the western counties, and for affording some present relief to the sufferers.
The committee went thro' the bill, which was reported without amendment. It was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
On the motion of Mr. Goodhue, the House went into a committee, on a bill for making farther provision in cases of drawbacks.
After some discussion the committee rose. The Chairman reported the bill with amend- ments. The House took up the bill and went through it; and it was then ordered to be en- grossed for a third reading to-morrow.
On the motion of Mr. Coit, the House went into a committee, on the report of the select committee, relative to the cession of light-houses, by particular States to the United States. The resolution was amended. It was then moved that the committee of the whole should rise and re- port the resolution. Twenty-nine gentlemen rose on each side. The voice of the chairman carried in favor of reporting the resolution, which was done accordingly. It was then moved to take it up in the House—but this was deferred. The committee of the whole were discharged from considering the memorial of the snuff manufactures.—This memorial is referred to the committee appointed in particular to that business on the motion of Mr. W. Smith.
The House next went into a committee of the whole, on the report, respecting the fortifica- tions of the United States.
After a short discussion, the committee rose, reported progress, and asked leave to sit again. Mr. Madison from the select committee, re- ported a new bill for naturalization, containing the amendments recommended, and also whatever was necessary from the old law, so that the latter should be superceded. The report was read by the clerk, and made the order of the day to- morrow.
The House then adjourned. TUESDAY, Jan. 6. The bill for ascertaining the losses of officers

of the revenue, and other citizens by the western insurgents, was read the third time. The blank in the bill was filled up with eight thousand five hundred dollars. The bill was then passed.
A bill, making farther provision in cases of drawbacks, was read a third time and passed.
A memorial from the sugar refiners in the city of Philadelphia was then read. It was of considerable length, and stated, that the excise on refined sugars would terminate in the destruction of the manufactures. People refused to buy the refined sugars with the additional excise duty. The commodity, therefore, lay on their own hands. The business had, in fact, been put an end to.
The memorial was referred to the same committee as that of the snuff makers.
Mr. Goodhue moved that the House should go into a committee of the whole on the bill supplementary to the acts for imposing duties on goods, wares and merchandise, imported into the United States. The House accordingly went into a committee. Mr. Cobb in the chair. They went thro' the bill with amendments, and it was reported to the House.
The House then went into a committee on the bill to establish an uniform system of naturalization, and to repeal the law formerly made on that head. One of the clauses in the new bill proposed to make aliens becoming citizens of the United States, abjure their allegiance to other states forever.
Mr. Boudinot, after expressing his disapprobation of the term forever , moved that it should be expunged; this motion was carried in the affirmative. The committee then rose. The chairman reported progress and the House adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, January 7. The naturalization bill, as amended in the committee of the whole, was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
The bill, supplementary to the impost laws, it was ordered should be engrossed.
Mr. Fitzsimons laid a motion on the table, the object of which is, to appropriate the surplus of the income of the Post-Office, to the purpose of making Post-Roads.
The report of the select committee, relative to the promulgation of the laws, was discussed in committee of the whole, and progress reported.
THURSDAY, January 8. The bill supplementary to the impost laws, and the naturalization bill, were read the third time and passed. The term of probation previous to an alien's being admitted to the right of citizenship, was fixed at five years.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) Jan. 1.
Yesterday arrived the ship Mercury , Capt. Holland in 53 days from Havre-de-Grace, by whom intelligence of much importance is received.
The following is an abstract of it— A treaty of peace has been signed between the Republic of France and the King of Prussia, at Neufchâtel, in Switzerland, on the 12th of October. The principal article of which was supposed to be that France should not give any assistance to the Poles.
Preliminaries of peace are signed between France and the kingdoms of Spain and Sardinia.
Germany has sued for peace, but the terms on which France will grant it, are thought too humiliating.
Holland, it is thought, will obtain a separate peace.
Thus Austria and England are left to contend against a power whom all combined Europe in vain attempted to subdue. And to both these powers the French Republicans owe an implacable enmity, particularly the latter, whom it seems now to be their wish to exterminate.
Prices of provision, when Capt. Holland failed: Flour eight dollars, and beef and pork 15 dollars per barrel.
BALTIMORE, January 23. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Norfolk, to his correspondent in this town, dated January 15.
The frigate that ran ashore is here. Yesterday a corvette, of 24 guns, from Rochefort, with wine and brandy, was taken off our Capes, by the argonaut, of 64. I believe, by the information of an infernal pilot, as the 64 was at anchor, and slipped out as the unfortunate corvette made the Capes. An American ship from Bourdeaux, loaded with wines and brandy, was also captured and sent to Bermuda. Those pirates, slaves and plunderers, expect 14 sail from France. The ships of war failed from Halifax, on the information received from C. H. of this town, who, we may suppose, has friends among our soit disant republicans. They were laid up but this intelligence brought them on our Capes. It was the Concorde that occasioned the Thetis to run aground—the brave Georgians keep this to themselves. The ship Commerce , of Portland, from Bourdeaux, was captured 4 weeks ago, off the coast, loaded with wine, brandy, dry goods, &c. If the French Minister sends out the Semillante , she, and the transports expected, will all be captured. All the British ships are off our Capes, and one 50 gun ship to the northward. The captured corvette, is said to be the Republican. The British are well-informed—their information derived from a good source."
The schooner Sarah and Lucretia , Capt. Lewis, arrived at Charleston on the 23d ult. after a short passage from Antigua, where it was reported that the whole Island of Guadalupe had surrendered to the French, and it was ex-
pected that Martinique would be soon taken, as several French sail of the line and four frigates had been lately spoken within about 20 leagues east of that place, full of troops.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of respectability, dated Norfolk, (Virginia) January 15.
"Yesterday the ship Harmony and a French ship of 29 guns were captured by a British 74, and are now in Lyn Haven Bay—The Harmony is of Baltimore, and laden with wine and brandy."
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 26. Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, dated October 14.
"You will please to publish in the newspaper of your city, that a general, (now Marshal de camp) I. I. Eullace, is at present in Switzerland, has left France with all honor and confidence of the National Convention; and that he intends soon to embark for his native country, the United States of America, by the way of Holland."
NEW-YORK, Jan. 23. A fresh plot has been discovered at Rome, against the life of his holiness the Pope; 1500 persons are concerned in it, and 38 of them are in custody.
BOSTON, February 5.
A LETTER, received in town, from a friend in France, has the following paragraph.
"From the prospect of peace, at present we would counsel our friends, in America, not to speculate in salted provisions, nor in wheat nor flour, nor in the hire or purchase of vessels for this country. The governments of Sweden and Denmark have warranted all of these, which may be carried from their nations, and in their ships, against the seizure of Great-Britain, or the enemies of France—so that we shall receive most of those from thence, and at cheaper rates, both freights and cargoes, than we could possibly have them from your fates. The Hanseatic towns have done as much, and these furnish much more of flowered wheat, than can possibly be brought from America, and in a tenth part of the time. You see, therefore, that if the great war was to continue, this country will not be in want of any of your assistance this year. The hire of ships has fallen here from 41. to 21. 10s."
Latest from FRANCE. We have been gratified by an obliging correspondent, with a number of Paris papers to the 11th of Nov.—It is almost impossible to give the translations at length—we shall consequently reduce the most interesting particulars of their contents into an accurate
SUMMARY.
The grand armies of the Sambre, the Moselle, and the Rhine, continue their operations with a degree of success which the Commissioners declare is almost incredible. So much does the patient heroism of the troops surpass all that history has recounted of military achievements. Maestricht, the key of Holland, and one of the strongest fortifications in the known world—Maestricht, garrisoned by 14000 of the best disciplined soldiers of Austria, and defended by 200 cannon, was forced to capitulate to Gen. Clever, under the auspices of Jourdan, the commander in chief, after the short siege of 14 days only. The difficulties of the siege were immense, but the courage of the Republicans surmounted all obstacles. The besieged at first discovered a formidable resistance, but the dreadful eruption from the French artillery, soon changed the dispositions of the garrison.
As one instance of their astonishing bravery, a command of a regiment of light troops fell on a Capt. of Hussars, by the name of Drages: This citizen has received lately 35 strokes of the enemy's sabres, and five musket-shot in his body; the honorable scars of which are his military certificate. No doubt he will be indulged with the honor of receiving some additional wounds, for the glory of his country, in a higher rank.
The army of the Rhine, which has extended its conquests from Mentz to Coblenz, has lately taken a fort, called Reimpheille , situated on that river, and commanding its navigation. Gen. Vincent reconnoitered this fortress in the dress of a soldier, and took it without the loss of a man, in consequence of the wisdom of his measures, which precluded all chance of a successful resistance.
Gen. Pichegru still has the command, and has lately cut to pieces 300 of the emigrants.
The marine is improving with the utmost vigour—they expect to have 50 ships of the line ready for sea by the first of the Spring.
The National Convention have continued their regulating Act.
The Popular Societies in France are encouraged, under certain regulations. Those in Paris, known by the name of Jacobins, do not submit as well as the rest, and are under an eclipse—the National Convention will admit of no rival. In a free country, the will of all, must be paramount, in the nature of things, to the wishes of a part—the National Convention ought to be the rallying point of all Frenchmen—for it has saved the freedom of America, and the world.
Kosciusko and the Polish army, are certainly defeated with great loss—it is said he has died of his wounds. Burke pronounced this Revolution the greatest defected good which had ever happened to mankind; and in the same philippic against the French, he declared their Convention to be knaves and idiots, and
their Revolution impracticable—but the French have succeeded, and the Poles are likely to be reduced to the most deplorable servitude. So much for the judgment of Mr. Burke, on this point.
"The coalesced powers (says a writer in a French paper) earnestly desire a peace, to recruit their exhausted armies, and to repair the devastations which their multiplied misfortunes have occasioned. The French people also wish for a peace with all the world—but it ought to be an honourable, and a permanent peace; and in order to its being so, it ought to be established on just principles, and comprehend benefits adequate to the expence and dangers of the war. The left bank of the Rhine, should be the boundary of the Republic. Short of this object, a compact with the tyrants of the Continent, would be neither safe nor honorable. As to the Treaty with England, it ought to be made on the Exchange of London, and the sure way to it is through the city of Amsterdam. We could never forget, that the sun of Britain is set forever, if a Revolution can be effected in Holland—provided we know how to secure the advantages which will present on that great event. Let us not trust then to those illusory benefits, which lead to consequences the most destructive. Let us disregard the attainments of an immediate advantage, which must vanish in the very moment of possession—the real importance of the acquisition of Holland depends upon our conduct—it does not arise from the impulse of foreseen aggrandizement, or the gratification of conquest—it must and will depend on our lenity and friendship to these frugal and industrious merchants—Let us believe, and be penetrated with those immutable truths: First, that constraint destroys commerce, and that Liberty alone can restore it to its natural energy. It depends on the people of France, to give to our Revolutionary certificates that value which they ought never to have lost. Second—it depends on us to ruin the credit of England, and to reduce that nation to an actual bankruptcy."
"All this will result from the policy we adopt in Holland. Confidence cannot be forced—it revolts against authority and horror, and is only secured by justice, and a love of the law. These are the cardinal virtues of a Republic—all else are but the visions of enthusiasm, and the paradox of sophists."
Tons of timber are daily arriving, in astonishing quantities, at the docks in Ostend and Dunkirk, to build sailing vessels, to interrupt the trade of England to the North Sea.
A plan of National Education is now forming in France, and provision making, by the appointment of some of the greatest Mathematicians, &c. to give systematic ideas to the Masters through France, by inviting them to Paris, for three months, to receive information on the most approved schemes of public education. This school is under direction of Members of the National Convention. The Preceptors in France, are to be maintained at the public expence, that one uniform plan may be adopted on this most important subject. Education is something more than a word: It creates the man, as it were by an artificial regeneration. If all men had one kind of education, where would be the difference. This project goes to the elements of the human mind, and will produce the most important effects.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE TAKING OF MAESTRICHT.
"Head-Quarters before Maestricht, the 15th Frimaire, [5th Nov.]"
"JOURDAN, Commander in Chief of the Sambre and Meuse, to the Members composing the Committee of Public Safety."
"Citizens Representatives: "I send Citizen DUCHEISON, my Adjutant General, to inform you that MAESTRICHT capitulated last night. The garrison will go out the 17th, with the honours of war. The troops lay down their arms on the glacis—they surrender themselves prisoners of war—they will be conducted to the first posts of the enemy, and are not to bear arms against the Republic until they shall be exchanged."
"JOURDAN."
A REPORT
Was prevalent, in town, after the publication of our last, said to be from New-York, of the capture of AMSTERDAM. This report by some was credited. We waited anxiously for the arrival of yesterday's mail for a confirmation of such agreeable news—but we could not find any thing that had even the appearance of a confirmation. The only paragraphs respecting Amsterdam follow.
It is reported, that the French were about 14 hours march, or 40 miles from Amsterdam—that there are three fourths of the Dutch who wish well to the French, and expresses a much greater dislike to the English—much confusion and anarchy pervades the country—they are anxious for a settlement of their public affairs, and a revolution of their government to take place.
Capt. Andrews arrived at Charleston, spoke a brig bound to Norfolk, out 40 days from London, that informed, that AMSTERDAM was taken by the French, on the 5th of Nov. (New-York papers.)
Last evening two gentlemen arrived in town from Newbury-Port, and brought information of the arrival there of a Capt. Perkins, in 45 days only from Rotterdam—but alas!! no news:— "all papers left behind." This, of late, has become quite a fashionable reply, when inquiry is made respecting the news from Europe. Whether this is intended as a commercial or political manœuvre, cannot at present be determined; but we flatter ourselves, that the successes of our Allies cannot long be suppressed.
Barbadoes accounts of Dec. 10, confirm, that the French at Marigalante, have risen on the English, and taken possession.
Important Spanish News.
A letter from New-York, mentions the arrival there of the Camilla , from Malaga, which place she left on the 1st of December. At that period, accounts had been received, that the French were besieging Barcelona, and that the Spanish Royal Family were about retiring to Seville from Madrid.
Capt. Hall in the Diana , arrived at Norfolk, in 63 days from Bilboa, says that Pampelona was invested by 90,000 French.
From Lisbon. Last Sunday, Capt. Brown, in the brig Diana , arrived at Marblehead, in 45 days from Lisbon, who brings the following:
Extract of a letter, dated Barcelona, Dec. 3, 1794, to JOHN BULKLY, Esq. merchant in Lisbon.
"Our news from this part of the frontiers is become extremely alarming, the lines formed and fortified on an eminence on the other side of Figuera have been forced, the greatest part of the artillery lost, and General Count Callnion killed. Since that misfortune, we now hear that upwards of 9000 men who had thrown themselves into the citadel of Figuera have surrendered prisoners without firing a shot."
Things are restored to a state of perfect tranquillity in the late insurgent counties of Pennsylvania. Not a trait of opposition to the laws and constituted authorities remain.
The subject which now engages the attention of Congress, is the important one of Reducing the public debt. The debates on the subject form the touch stone of patriotism.
We hear, that the University of Edinburgh, have conferred the degree of Doctor in Divinity on the Rev. Thomas Barnard, of Salem; and the Rev. Jedediah Morse, of Charlestown.
SHIP NEWS.
Capt. Bartoll, in the schooner Betsy , from Bourdeaux, in lat. 42, 30, N. long. 54, W. spoke the ship Fame , Capt. George Hallaburton, from Kennebec, bound to Liverpool, out 7 days, all well. Capt. Hallaburton gave Capt. Bartoll, one barrel of Bread.
Ark Tavern.
THE subscriber most respectfully informs the public, that by the solicitation of a number of his friends he has opened a TAVERN, by the name of THE ARK TAVERN, at No. 6, Buck-Street. His house has been for a number of years a convenient resort for traders and gentlemen from the country; he pledges himself to lack no exertion to render it at least as agreeable to that, and every description of customers, as it has heretofore proved, and promises the traveller, that while every means of refreshment and repose will be offered him in the house, every attention in the stable shall be shewn his wearied beast. To those who have frequented his house he flatters himself it is only necessary to offer a continuance of the same diligent effort to please; to those who have the experiment yet to make, he can only add the scriptural exhortation, "taste and see." JOHN DAVENPORT.
N. B. His bills shall always be as moderate as the price of provisions will admit, and the smallest favour acknowledged with gratitude.
WANTED
At the above house, a maid servant, who is able and willing to do the menial work of the same.
Portsmouth, Feb. 9. 1795.
Piscataqua-Bridge.
AT a meeting of the directors of Piscataqua-Bridge, held on the 31st of January, an eighth assessment of fifteen dollars was voted upon each and every share, to be paid to the treasurer on or before the 20th of February inst. And at another meeting of the said directors, on the 3d inst. a ninth assessment of fifteen dollars was also voted upon each and every share, to be paid to the treasurer on or before the said 20th February inst.
Agreeable to the foregoing direction, the proprietors of Piscataqua-Bridge are hereby requested to pay the same to me, at my house in Portsmouth, on or before the 20th day of February inst.
THOMAS MARTIN, Treasurer. Portsmouth, Feb. 3, 1795.
As all the accounts respecting the Bridge are now settled, the two foregoing assessments will be the last that the directors will find necessary, they therefore expect punctual payment, to enable them to discharge the large balances due from them for timber and other supplies for the Bridge.

On the 28th, a letter from the Representatives of the people with the army of the Eastern Pyrenees, dated Nov. 20th announced another victory over the Spaniards. Their redoubts and entrenchments were carried by the bayonet, their whole army put to the rout, and all their artillery, baggage and camps, with tents for more than 50,000 men, taken. The slaughter is said to have been dreadful; but the letter, being written from the field of battle, could not be expected to give the details.
OFFICIAL LETTER.
Letter from the Representative of the People with the army of the Eastern Pyrenees.
"St. Fernando de Figueres Nov. 28.
"CITIZEN COLLEAGUES,
"The 20th was signalized by one of the most brilliant victories ever obtained by the armies of the Republic. Imagine every obstacle that nature and art could unite; imagine from 80 to 100 redoubts on positions the most advantageous, full of cannon, and forming several lines of defence; imagine from 40 to 50,000 men distributed in these forts and entrenchments, the labor of six months; imagine all these redoubts, the artillery and musketry that defended them; imagine 80 volcanos at once vomiting fire and iron—well, all these were carried in less than three hours. Our battalions advanced amid musketry and grape shot, and did every thing with the bayonet. No prisoners were taken; all were put to the sword; three Spanish Generals were killed; one of them attempted to defend himself against Adjutant-General DUPHOT, who runs his sword through his body. Count de l'UNION; the Commander in Chief of the Spanish army, was found dead on the field of battle: We send you his military decorations.
"In our letter of the 18th, we informed you that we had some men killed in the affair of the 17th. The number killed and wounded on the 20th, is much less considerable.—The enemy, repulsed in all parts, fled, and their route was complete. After abandoning to us all their camps and artillery, they attempted to make a stand on the heights of Liers, where they had prepared an entrenched camp under the cannon of the castle of Figueres; but they were pursued so vigorously that they were obliged to abandon their position, and fly six or seven leagues farther. The same evening their famous fort of St. Fernando de Figueres was invested on all sides and some battalions turned against the place the cannon mounted by the enemy for the defence of the camp of Liers. Next day Figueres and Roses were invested. Perignon sent a vigorous summons to the Governor of the castle of Figueres to surrender the place. The parley lasted two or three hours. The capitulation was signed yesterday, and to-day the place is in possession of the Republic. The garrison, or rather the army, of 9,107 men, laid down their arms and surrendered prisoners of war. We found on the ramparts more than 150 pieces of cannon, and immense quantities of provisions in the place. Such, Citizen Colleagues, are the consequences of the brilliant days of the 17th and 20th November. Terror is among our enemies. You will judge of it from the surrender of a place so important, and so famous as that of Figueres. We are going to summon Roses; we shall soon inform you of the surrender of it.—The number of prisoners is 9,400; that of the colours taken is considerable. "DELBRET VIDAL."
General Pichegru has ordered an escort of 300 cavalry, as a guard of honor, to attend the Dutch Commissioners from Antwerp to Paris.
Extract of a letter from Joseph Fenwick, Esq. the American consul at Bordeaux, dated Paris, the 15th Nov. to Joshua Johnson, Esq. American consul at London.
"It has just been decided in the Council of the Government, that American vessels shall go free, with all free goods; and orders are given not to interrupt or turn aside any, even grain loaded; also orders are given to adjust all claims on the Republic for the embargoes at Bordeaux, and all expences and demurrage for vessels stopped or brought in, contrary to the Laws of Nations.
(Signed) "JOSHUA JOHNSON."
LONDON, Jan. 2.
Some of the letters brought by the Dutch mails which arrived yesterday, state, that the French have actually got possession of Fort St. Andre and the Bommel Waert. At Amsterdam the consternation is extreme. The Deputies nominated by the States have left the Hague, but little success is expected from their mission. On the Upper Rhine, the severity of the season has arrested all military operations. The Dutch papers say, that on the 15th inst. a determination to pursue a winter campaign was announced in the Convention, and that Carrier, with two others of the Revolutionary Committee of Nantz, were convicted on the 16th, and executed on the following day.
The Leyden Gazette confirms the report that Carrier, Penard, and Grandmailon, were sentenced on the 16th, & executed on the 17th ult.
JANUARY 3.
Every hope of peace, if we may credit accounts from the Continent, which were said to
have been received late on Thursday night, is now vanished. Private advices are said to have been sent from Utrecht, dated the 27th ult. which state, with much confidence, that the French, availing themselves of the uncommon rigour of the season, have recommenced hostilities, and on Christmas day crossed the Maese, which was frozen over, at Bommel, and entirely possessed themselves of that country. The next day, it is also said, 18,000 or 20,000 of them passed the Waal near Bommel.—In what numbers they have crossed that river in other places, is not known; but it is said to be certain that they have passed it in other places. The regiment of Hohenloe, and the regiment of Grenadiers of Bentinck, both in Dutch pay, are made prisoners. Some other regiments of the allies laid down their arms. The consternation which this has occasioned in Holland, is not to be described, as, should the frost continue, there is no impediment to their marching to Amsterdam.
This report we conceive it our duty to give, and we think it equally our duty to confess that we utterly disbelieve it. We have the authority of his Majesty's speech, that Holland is negotiating a separate peace with France, in consequence of which an armistice was agreed to by both parties, and Commissioners sent to Paris. Can it, then be supposed, that France would, were it from motives of policy only, commit so flagrant a violation of every law by which man, even in a state of nature, is bound? Impossible. Such conduct would rouse every fellow-being to aid in their destruction. A war of extermination would be the inevitable consequence.
The arrival of the mail, due yesterday, which had not come in when this paper was put to press, is anxiously waited for.
His Majesty's Speech
To both Houses of Parliament: delivered 30th December, 1794.
My lords, and gentlemen, AFTER the uniform experience which I have had of your zealous regard for the interests of my people, it is a great satisfaction to me to recur to your advice and assistance, at a period which calls for the full exertion of your energy and wisdom.
Notwithstanding the disappointments and reverses which we have experienced in the course of the last campaign, I retain a firm conviction of the necessity of persisting in a vigorous prosecution of the just and necessary war in which we are engaged.
You will, I am confident, agree with me, that it is only from firmness and perseverance that we can hope for the restoration of peace on safe and honorable grounds, and for the preservation and permanent security of our dearest interests.
In considering the situation of our enemies, you will not fail to observe, that the efforts which have led to their successes, and the unexampled means by which alone those efforts could have been supported, have produced among themselves the pernicious effects which were to be expected; and that every thing which has passed in the interior of the country, has shown the progressive and rapid decay of their resources, and the instability of every part of that violent and unnatural system, which is equally ruinous to France and incompatible with the tranquility of other nations.
The states general of the United Provinces have nevertheless been led, by a sense of present difficulties, to enter into negotiations for peace with the party now prevailing in that unhappy country.—No established government or independent state can, under the present circumstances, derive real security from such negotiations: on our part, they could not be attempted, without sacrificing both our honor and safety to an enemy whose chief animosity is avowedly directed against their kingdoms.
I have therefore continued to use the most effectual means for the farther augmentation of my forces; and I shall omit no opportunity of concerting the operations of the next campaign with such of the powers of Europe, as are impressed with the same sense of the necessity of vigor and exertion. I place the fullest reliance on the valor of my forces, and on the affection and public spirit of my people, in whose behalf I am contending, and whose safety and happiness are the objects of my constant solicitude.
The local importance of Corsica, and the spirited efforts of its inhabitants to deliver themselves from the yoke of France, determined me not to withhold the protection which they sought for; and I have since accepted the crown and sovereignty of that country, according to an instrument, a copy of which I have directed to be laid before you.
I have great pleasure in informing you, that I have concluded a treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, with the United States of America, in which it has been my object to remove, as far as possible, all grounds of jealousy and misunderstanding, and to improve an intercourse beneficial to both countries.—As soon as the ratifications shall have been exchanged, I will direct a copy of this treaty to be laid before you, in order that you may consider of the propriety of making such provisions as may appear necessary for carrying it into effect.
I have the greatest satisfaction in announcing to you the happy event of the conclusion of a treaty for the marriage of my son the prince of Wales with the princess Caroline, daughter of the Duke of Brunswick: the constant proofs of our affection for my person and family, persuade me, that you will participate in the sentiments I feel on an occasion so interesting to my domestic happiness, and that you will enable me to make provision for such an establishment, as you may think suitable to the rank and dignity of the heir apparent to the crown of these kingdoms.
Gentlemen of the house of commons,
The considerations which prove the necessity of a vigorous prosecution of the war will, I doubt not, induce you to make a timely and ample provision for the several branches of the public service, the estimates for which I have directed to be laid before you. While I regret the necessity of large additional burdens on my subjects, it is a just consolation and satisfaction to me to observe the state of our credit, commerce, and resources, which is the natural result of the continued exertions of industry under the protection of a free and well regulated government.
My lords, and gentlemen, A just sense of the blessings now so long enjoyed by this country will, I am persuaded, encourage you to make every effort, which can enable you to transmit those blessings unimpaired to your posterity.
I entertain a confident hope, that, under the protection of Providence, and with constancy and perseverance on our part, the principles of social order, morality, and religion, will ultimately be successful; and that my faithful people will find my present exertions and sacrifices rewarded by the secure and permanent enjoyment of tranquility at home, and by the deliverance of Europe from the greatest danger with which it has been threatened since the establishment of civilized society.
Motions have been lately made in both Houses of Parliament, to address his Majesty in favor of negotiating a PEACE WITH FRANCE—12 only of the House of Lords were in favour of the address, and 75 in the House of Commons. Lord Guilford made the motion in the upper, and Mr. Wilberforce, in the Lower House.
BOSTON, February 9.
LETTERS FROM PARIS
of 25th Nov. mention—that the army of the Moselle, after the taking of Rhinfels, had formed the blockade of Luxembourg; and that the army of the Eastern Pyrenees had on the 17th ult. gained another victory over the Spaniards, which cost General Duggomier his life.
THE GRAND AUSTRIAN ARMY, commanded by General Count Clairfayt, still keeps its former position; but the Prussian army on the Upper Rhine is daily drawing near the main, which movement is partly occasioned by want of forage and provisions.
RE-IMPRISONMENT OF FAYETTE.
Extract from a letter dated Hague Dec. 14, 1794.
"You will probably hear, in America, before you receive this, of the escape of La Fayette, from confinement; but the pleasing delusion will be of short continuance, as it was with us, when you read, perhaps in the next paragraph, that he was re-taken upon the confines of Germany, and re-conducted to his dungeon."
From NEWPORT, Feb. 2.
"Capt. Greenfield, arrived here, this day, 60 days from Lisbon, bound for New-York. Col. Humphreys, our Ambassador, came passenger, bound to Congress."
"Capt. Samuel Miliken, arrived here this day from Hispaniola, says no fleet, neither French or English, had arrived in the West-Indies."

Left at Lisbon, brig Hannah, John Grisle, to sail in four or five days—schooner Prudentia, David Bruce, to sail in a few days—schooner Industry, Joseph Lindsey, bound for Cadiz, with fish—brig Industry, John Myrick, for Bordeaux, when the embargo is taken off—brig Jane, William Cowell, bound for London—brig Diana, Eli Brown, to sail in about ten days.
PORTLAND, Feb. 2.
THE TEMPEST,
Which commenced last Friday morning about 2 o'clock, has left the most ruinous effects here, ever known. Many valuable vessels have been driven on shore, which are either bilged, damaged, or must be unladed to be got off. It is supposed that the loss of property in this town, by damage to navigation, warehouses, wharves, &c. will amount to several thousand pounds. The gale, which was Southeast, lasted about four hours, and blew a perfect hurricane.
PORTSMOUTH, February 10.
Extract of a letter from London, of Dec. 16, 1794, to a gentleman in this town.
SIR, We are sorry to inform you that it will not be in our power to ship you goods from this country in the spring ships, so low by 20 per cent as we have formerly done; owing to the manufactures throughout the kingdom being broken up, and the many workmen sent to the continent during the war; and when this cursed war will end, God only knows, as his majesty's speech is as indicative of a war as at the commencement of it.
Should Holland and Spain join with France against this country (as it has every appearance) our government must fall, which the whole of the mercantile people now wish for with eagerness, as ruin will be the result if it is not so; for the ministers seem bent on destruction with the heart of a Pharaoh.
A MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
"On the evening of the 26th of Jan. past, between the hours of ten and eleven, the house of Mr. William Steele, of Conway, took fire, and was first discovered by Mrs. Steele (whose husband was absent in the woods) who immediately left her bed, and attempted to go in another room; on opening the door, she found the room all in flames; shut the door, and retreated to the apartment she had left, calling to three of her children who were asleep in the chamber to make their escape; and then with a peculiar presence of mind took her bed, and forced her way out of the house. The neighborhood was alarmed, and hurried to her assistance.—At this moment she recollected the three children up stairs, and found that they were missing, her four other children having escaped from an adjoining bed room; but it was too late—they had expired in the flames, viz. three promising sons one of 13, another of 11, and the third of 9 years of age. By the exertions of the neighbors, part of the mutilated bodies were found that night in different places among the ruins, and a part the next day, which were decently interred. The whole contents of the house were consumed excepting two beds. The unutterable distress of the afflicted parents, the mournful recollection of the dreadful catastrophe, call forth the sympathetic tear, and must extort a sigh even from the petrified bosom of insensibility itself."
SHIP NEWS.
Arrived here on Saturday last in 55 days from Jacquamel, the schooner Deborah, Captain Marble; spoke Jan. 13, long. 70, 15 west, the brig Edward, of New-York, Capt. Linel, 4 days out from Norfolk, all well. Captain Linel informed he saw 5 English ships of the line in lat. 37, long. 72, on Jan. 11, where bound he did not know.
In our last we mentioned the death of the Hon' Judge Sullivan, since which the following character of the deceased has been received:—
DIED at his seat in Durham, the 23d ult. the Hon. JOHN SULLIVAN, Esq. aged 54. As the whole life of the deceased was a series of eminent services to his country, to omit rendering a tribute of respect to his memory, would be highly criminal. Being one of the first to embark in the cause of American Liberty and Independence, it was in a great degree owing to his activity and patriotism, that the American militia were supplied with ammunition to defend the entrenchments on Breed's-Hill—Gen. SULLIVAN having, in Dec. 1774, saved about 100 barrels gun-powder, and a considerable quantity of military stores and cannon, from a fort in the vicinity of Portsmouth, which the British Governor was then about to remove to Boston. His services, which raised him to the rank of Major-General, are well known to every American, and the recording page of history will transmit them to the world, and to posterity, in glowing colours. The free suffrages of his fellow-citizens, in twice raising him to the Presidency of his native State, are eminent attestations of his civic worth. In his office of Chief Magistrate, his talents in organizing and disciplining that bulwark of Liberty, a well-regulated Militia, were conspicuous; as were his wisdom and efficiency in suppressing, in a day, and without bloodshed, a daring insurrection. His Judicial abilities, presented him to the President of the United States, as qualified to preside in the District Court of New-Hampshire, in which office he died—lamented by every patriot, and friend to the rights of mankind.

FOR THE GAZETTE.
MR. MELCHER,
As Congress, or the Executive power of the United States have done nothing effectually for the relief of our brethren in slavery in Algiers; I was pleased with a proposal some time since made, that on the 19th of February, the day when a continent is to return thanks to heaven for its various blessings; a collection might be made throughout the States to redeem them from their cruel situation, and restore them to their families. The sum individually required would be trifling, and the effect would be a national act of the highest beneficence—and such as I believe there is no instance of in the annals of any other country. I suspect the proposal is misunderstood, I have no connexion with the proposal, and do not know who he is; but I fear it will be considered by the clergy, as a tax upon their humanity, that they will be forced in proposing the scheme to exercise a larger share of benevolence than any of the rest of society. It certainly is not so, it is principally addressed to them because they have the most convenient opportunity of informing the people at large of so benevolent a plan. The people informed of it, and knowing that a country is to unite in effecting it, will readily contribute for the purpose. As no person is pointed out to receive the contributions; it is recommended that all the donations that may be made in this State, should be sent to the Treasurer in trust, to apply the sums received in the best manner, as circumstances should offer. I have no doubt, from his excellent character, he would willingly undertake the completing so benevolent a business.

PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that whereas by an act of said State, passed the 15th day of June, A. D. 1791, all the lands in New-Durham, in said county of Strafford were taxed one penny an acre for two years, for the purpose of repairing roads in said town: And in, and by said act, it is enacted, that the owners of said lands should have liberty of "working out" their several parts of said tax, at the rate of three shillings by the day for an able bodied man, any time between the first day of June and last day of September, in the year for which such tax should be made, agreeably to which more than six weeks prior to the first day of June last, they were notified to work out their respective parts of the second tax, on said roads accordingly; but the time allowed by said act being now past, the non-resident proprietors and owners of lands in said town, who have not paid their said taxes are therefore hereby advertised, that unless they pay the same in money to me the subscriber, on or before the 26th day of February next, so much of their lands in said town, as will pay the said second tax, together with incidental charges, will be sold at public vendue, at the dwelling-house of the subscriber, in said town, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, on said day, the delinquent proprietors and owners names, with the sums affixed thereto, may be known by the following schedule, viz.
