State of New-Hampshire.
An act to facilitate the opening and making passable a certain road from Barlow's mills (so called) in Stratford, in the county of Grafton, in said State, to the great road in Shelburne.
Whereas a road or highway beginning at Barlow's mills (so called) in Stratford, in the county of Grafton, in said State, thence running through Stratford, Peirce, Winslow's Location, Paulsburg, Mainburg, Shelburne addition, and to the great road in Shelburne, has of late been laid out by order, and at the expence of this State; and whereas the opening and making passable the said road would be of great public utility.
Therefore, BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened, That the proprietors and owners of lands in the several towns and places through which said road is laid respectively, ought, and shall within two years from and after the passing of this act, cut, clear, bridge, and make passable for loaded teams and passengers, the said road or highway, within their respective towns and places, and produce to the treasurer of this State, an authentic certificate thereof from the Court of Common-Pleas, in the county where said road is situated.
And be it further enacted, That upon the failure or neglect of the proprietors and owners of any, all, or either of the said towns and places, respectively to cut, clear, bridge, and make passable the said road or highway, in manner aforesaid, and to produce a certificate thereof, as aforesaid, that it shall be the duty of the treasurer of this State, for the time then being, and it is hereby directed that the said treasurer do thereupon issue his warrants for levying, collecting, and paying into the treasury of this State, a sum or sums equal to three cents upon the acre, on each and every acre of land, in all such delinquent towns and places respectively; and that the said treasurer with all officers and other persons therein concerned, observe and govern themselves by the rules, directions and regulations prescribed in law for collecting State taxes upon unimproved lands, in towns and places unincorporated, which sums when paid into the treasury are hereby appropriated to the sole purpose of cutting, clearing, bridging, and making good and passable as aforesaid, the said roads in the respective towns and places, in such manner as the General Court shall hereafter direct.
And it is further enacted, That the secretary cause the whole of the foregoing act to be published three weeks successively, in the New-Hampshire Gazette, commencing within one month from and after the passing hereof.

Federal Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
TUESDAY, Jan. 20.
MR. Hartly presented a petition from sundry of the Representatives in the State Legislature from York county, stating the propriety of establishing a post road and post, from York town in the state of Pennsylvania, by Abbot's town and Gekylsburg, to Hager's Town in the state of Maryland, and the same was referred to the committee of the whole House, on the bill from the Senate concerning roads.
Ordered to bring in a bill.
There was read a report from the committee of claims on the petition of Joab Stafford. The committee submitted to the consideration of the House the following resolution, viz.
Resolved, That all persons who have been or shall be, placed on the pension list of the United States, by virtue of a law passed Feb. 28, 1793, intitled, "an Act to regulate the claims to invalid pensions," shall be deemed to commence the receipt of their respective monthly allowances at the date of their completing their testimony before the commissioners who took the same; that no arrears in any case be allowed; that the payment of such monthly allowances be continued during the continuance of such disability; and that a bill be brought in accordingly.
The House went into committee on this report—Two amendments were rejected, when they rose and reported that they had agreed to the report of the select committee.
Mr. Fitzsimons then laid on the table the following motion.
Resolved, That the President be requested to cause to be laid before the house a plan for the defence and protection of the frontier of the United States, and including the number of troops necessary for garrisoning the same.
The question was then put—shall the house now proceed to consider this motion.
Mr. Fitzsimons laid, that a committee, which went to the same thing, had been appointed already. He withdrew his resolution.
The house then went into a committee of the whole (Mr. Cobb in the chair) on the bill supplementary to an act for enrolling and licensing ships and vessels to be employed in the coasting trade and fisheries. The bill was gone through, and reported to the house.
Mr. Goodhue, this day, reported, a bill supplementary to the act for laying duties on goods, wares, and merchandise imported into the United States. Adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, Jan. 21.
The house went into a committee of the whole, Mr. Cobb in the chair, on a bill from the Senate, for further extending the time for receiving on loan the domestic debt of the United States.
The committee rose, the chairman reported progress. The bill was read a third time and passed.
Mr. Fitzsimons, then moved, that eight members should be added to the former committee of seven, to take into consideration the resolution for perfecting a road between the southern and eastern states. His design was that there should be a member from each state in the Union. This was agreed to, and other eight members were selected by the Speaker.
Mr. Dearborne, moved, that the house should go into a committee of the whole on the report of the select committee on the military establishment. This being done he next read a resolution, the substance of which was, that in considering this question, the view should be limited to a defensive system only.
Mr. Dearborne withdrew his motion. The committee rose, and progress was reported. Mr. Sedgwick then moved, that the President be requested to lay before the house an estimate of the forces necessary for the effectual protection of the frontier. This motion produced some debate, but was finally carried.
Ayes 40 Noes 37
There was then read, a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, inclosing a statement of the imposts of seven and a half and two and a half per cent, on goods imported into the United States: Ordered the estimate to be printed. Adjourned.

Official Letters.
TAKEN FROM, AND TRANSLATED FOR THE (PHILA.) AURORA.
Translated from the Bulletin of the National Convention.
The General in Chief of the Army of Catalonia, to the General in Chief of the French army, Dugommier.
ACCORDING to a copy I received of the treaty concluded by the two nations, concerning the pay-masters, I find that in your army they do not fulfil what was promised, because the Spanish pay-master was forced to deliver up the cash, and accept paper money in exchange.
It results therefore, that, although there exists a law which puts assignats on a level with cash, the public, and more particular foreign nations, do not receive them for more than half their supposed value; consequently France gains at least 50 per cent. an advantage which does not in the least speak in favor of that character you endeavour by all means to make a show of; and it is contrary to the 4th article of the treaty.
Dugommier's remarks on some articles.
"I cannot better answer the absurd calumnies of La Union, than by copying here the declaration of the Spanish pay-master, the original of which I keep.
"Agreeable to a request of the interpreter of the French army, concerning the detention of the money I brought from Spain to Montpellier, in order to pay the Spanish prisoners, I must declare, that at my arrival in the above city, the administration of the district obliged me to deposit the cash in the treasury—the result of this circumstance was, that I could not pay the Spanish prisoners, and the French nation continued to advance their pay in the same manner as they did before pay-masters were appointed.
"When I set out from Montpellier to this city, the said administration remitted the same cash to me.

La Union's letter continued.
It is also certain that the right of nations has been violated, when the communication was interrupted, and your advanced posts fired on those who appeared with a flag of truce.
Although it might have been necessary in some particular cases to stop all communication, it would have been a duty to give notice of it.
If I inclined to imitate such an example, I might have received your commissaries and trumpets with drawn swords and a discharge of fire arms.
You pretend it unnecessary to justify yourself, however you try to do it:—I do not believe that all your orators will be competent to this talk.
Observations.
"It was essential to our interest at a certain epoch, to stop all intercourse with the enemy: the first messengers who appeared with a flag of truce were informed of it, but they persisted obstinately to advance, which obliged at last our videts to fire at them; they would certainly receive their own armed brothers in the same manner, if they ventured to violate an important order."
"We do not want the assistance of orators to elucidate such a fact, and La Union's eloquence is not sufficient to aggravate that measure in the eyes of military men."
La Union's letter continued.
We received several letters of our prisoners, complaining of not having received the succours we had transmitted to them by trumpets; the truth might be easily discovered; but the fact is denied, which is contrary to the good faith you endeavor to cloak yourselves with.
Observations.
"I don't know any thing about the complaints of the Spanish prisoners, the above paragraph make mention of; and there is at least as much reason to suspect the fidelity of the Spanish trumpets in delivering their deposits, as to question the integrity of those who are to transmit the money to the Spanish prisoners."
La Union's letter continued.
I fear only the shameful and inhuman actions, but not the menaces and rodomontades of my enemies.
I thank you for the good treatment you assure me the Spanish prisoners met with, being well convinced, that their behavior did not expose them to a worse one. If the free declaration of Mechain proves that he has been detained by the government or myself, I shall pass for an impostor in the face of the Universe. On the contrary, after so many unfounded declamations, consider what epithet fits you best.
He shall not receive the sum of 5000 livres which you transmitted to him. He has no occasion for it, as I have given orders to supply him with whatever he wants.
Observations.
"Henceforth I shall be on my guard only against the treachery and felony of my enemies, for I don't fear more their menaces and rodomontades than their shameful and inhuman actions—I know how to defend myself against them."
"I repeated only the communicated reports concerning Mechain; wait for him in order to decide which new epithet suits La Union."
La Union's letter concluded.
I insist again, that the humanity, the right of nations and of war, require that we agree on the exchange and treatment of prisoners. By a trumpet I received a letter of the 4th inst. and signed Lamer who proposes in your name, a partial exchange of the prisoners: I am willing to subscribe to reasonable terms, provided that we both conclude the treaty.

LONDON, Jan. 3.
GENERAL SUWAROW.
The following is a summary account of the operations of the Russian General Suwarow, from the beginning of his march to the capture of Warsaw.
General Suwarow was zealously employed at Cherson, in directing batteries and intrench-
ments, to defend the Crime from future hostile invasions. Quite unexpectedly he received orders from the Empress to take upon him the command of a corps of Russians stationed at Niemirow. He set out with the utmost expedition, and a few days after his arrival at that place, his corps, which consisted of 30,000 men was put on its march. It left Niemirow on the 17th of September, and had to march 120 German leagues before he could reach Warsaw, and on its route it surmounted the following obstacles to its progress:
Battles and Engagements.
1. Engagement at Diwin; 100 poles killed, and 40 taken prisoners.
2. Engagement at Kobryn; about 200 Poles killed, and one Colonel and 100 taken.
3. Battle near Krupez Monastir, where the Polish army, commanded by General Sierakowski, consisted of 14,000 men, 300 Poles killed and 500 taken.
4. Battle near Buzec, Litewski, against 11,000 Poles; 3000 Poles made prisoners, the rest cut in pieces by the Russian cavalry, and 28 pieces of cannon taken.
N. B. After this battle, Suwarow tarried thirty days without advancing farther according to his plan. This was occasioned by an Austrian officer arriving at his head-quarters from Gen. Harnamcourt, to inform him of the position of the Austrian troops. Count Suwarow perceiving that the Austrians would find it difficult to defend their cordon, resolved to co-operate in their favour by drawing his troops to the Austrian frontiers and directing them in such a manner, as to effectually cover the fame.
5. Battle near Kobylka, against 5000 Poles under General Byczewski; 1000 men and the General himself made prisoners, the remainder put to the sword by the Russian cavalry, and nine pieces of cannon taken.
6. Capture of Praga by assault, defended by 29,000 Poles, most of them regular troops; upwards of 13,000 men killed, Generals Meyne, Hefslér and Krupinski, and 11,000 men made prisoners; about 100 Poles escaped by flight, and above 200 were drowned in the Vistula, Generals Zayonceczek and Madalinski wounded.
On the 8th ult. General Suwarow entered Warsaw in triumph. Thus he arrived therefore from Niemirow in this capital in 52 days and deducting the 30 days on which his army halted without advancing, he completed his march in 22 days, and performed all the above mentioned exploits.
Thus the laurels of this Russian General in Poland, alone cost the lives of upwards of 28,500 unfortunate Poles. How dreadful must the carnage appear, if we had a similar statement of the exploits of Fersen and the rest of the Russian Generals.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.
By being secured against the probability of being involved in the wars of Europe, the causes which originated the violent parties of our country, have been removed. If we quarrel now, we shall quarrel about names and theories, and not about things; and what could be more ridiculous than Americans at loggerheads about opinions and ideas of government? one party charge the other with designs, or at least wishes to introduce monarchy or aristocracy; the charge on the other hand is that another party wish to overthrow the present government. Neither of these charges is true in a very extensive sense; the people who raise reports of this kind, know they are not true—it is a mere artifice to obtain or keep places of honor and emolument. Individuals are duped by such stories; but the body of the people remain unshaken.
The moment that delivers the United States from the danger of war, is the moment when all parties ought to embrace principles of conciliation. While the question of peace or war was depending, it was the duty of every good citizen to resist all attempts to make the United States a party in the broils of Europe.—All schemes for involving us directly or indirectly, were to be opposed by every honest means. But that danger being over, we have only to contend in opinion about foreign governments; or to quarrel for the loaves and fishes of our own.
The question of clubs is fairly before the public. If instead of writing for party-purposes, our ingenious men would now turn their attention to the improvement of our country, by establishing useful institutions for education, by extending and securing our commerce, by cultivating our soil, founding manufactures and correcting our laws and morals, it is probable the virulence of party-spirit would soon subside; the distinctions of aristocrat and democrat, created for the most nefarious purpose, and which has converted innumerable friends into cold jealous party men and enemies, would soon give way to returning confidence and social affection. Union and harmony are our true interest, and those who would disturb these, must be unfriendly to the happiness of their country.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Cadiz, dated 27th Nov. to a merchant in this city.
"There was sometime ago talks of a rupture between the Emperor of Morocco and the United States; but we are happy to advise you that the best harmony is likely to subsist between these powers. The Algerines are fairly blocked in the Streights; and while the Portuguese, their natural enemies, continue to guard the Gut, as they have done constantly since the late affair, the American flag in these seas may be considered the safest of all others."
PROVIDENCE, Feb. 21.
Discovery of the Perpetual motion!
Some days since a cunning man arrived in
town from the Westward, who gave notice that, after long and laborious study, he had actually discovered this grand desideratum, so long sought for by sages and philosophers.—An audience was collected, by appointment, to view this novel Movement, so interesting to science, and the world at large; when the machinery was put in motion, as the proprietor asserted, by means of a concealed magnet.—Some gentlemen present were surprised, others doubted, while a few considered it as nothing more than a hocus pocus trick. The machinery was created against a door, which communicated with another apartment, and some of the audience requested that this door might be opened. The proprietor modestly objected, but the apartment was entered—when lo! on a high shelf, a boy was discovered (perdue) turning an Iron Crank, which proved to be neither more nor less than the concealed magnet.—The Inventor, after observing that he had come to a "wrong place," decamped with some precipitation, to avoid a horse pond as the reward of his ingenuity.—Whether he means to apply for a diploma, as a Professor of Legerdemain, we have that yet to learn.
BOSTON, Feb. 26.
On the 12th November, the intelligence was received at Amsterdam, that the KING of SPAIN had SIGNED A TREATY OF PEACE with FRANCE, on the 18th of October at Fontarabia; and that all hostilities ceased accordingly on the borders of Spain.
Since our last, the brig Ceres, Capt. Sumner, has arrived here from Bordeaux, by which we have received Paris and Bordeaux papers to the latter part of December. There does not appear to have been any military events of consequence since the victory over the Spaniards—nor do any of the debates of the convention wear an aspect of peace with any of the powers. On the 15th Dec. Dubois Crance said, that notwithstanding the successes of the armies of the republic, a winter campaign was necessary to consolidate them;—and the convention decreed that the furloughs granted for three months should expire in one month. The convention appears still busy in repairing the ruins made in the moral and physical affairs of France during the system of terror. Carrier and his accomplices have been executed; and the Robespierian judges, accusers, &c. are in train of trial.
SENTENCE against CARRIER, &c.
The following is the substance of the sentence pronounced on Carrier, and his accomplices, in the French revolutionary tribunal, Dec. 15, 1794.
"Carrier, representative of the people, convicted of having been the author of the horrors which have existed in the department of La Loire inferior, and particularly at Nantz, against the safety of the people, and the liberty of the citizens, by giving orders to Philippe, to execute without trial numbers of insurgents, among whom were many women and children; by giving unlimited power to Lamberty to drown men, women and children, by giving orders to Haxo to exterminate the inhabitants of La Vendee, &c. &c.
"Grandmaison for signing an order to shoot en masse the prisoners; in being present at a drowning; in maltreating the victims who were destined to be drowned, &c. &c.
"Pinard for executing arbitrary orders, for massacring innocent women and children, pilaging, and burning every thing in the parts where he commanded; and of having done all this with criminal and counter-revolutionary intentions; are condemned to the pain of death."
After the above sentence was pronounced, Carrier said, "I die a victim and innocent. My last wish shall be for the good of the republic, and for the welfare of my fellow-citizens."
Carrier's trial lasted several weeks, and in the course of it there were developed crimes that would make the stoutest heart tremble barely to contemplate. Nero was a milk-sop to him.
THE PRESIDENT'S BIRTH-DAY
was celebrated, on Monday last, at Concert-hall, by a numerous and respectable assembly of his fellow-citizens. On this happy anniversary, it was a subject of cordial congratulation to every American, to discover so much real patriotism, in the federal hilarity of the day. Few there were, whose palates did not participate in the festivity; and still fewer, whose hearts were not convivial. The virtues of this GREAT MAN have silenced the cavils of snarlers, more effectually than the keys of Legendre.—During the festival, the following toasts and sentiments were drank, with the loudest applause.
The day we now celebrate—As it is conspicuous in the calendar of freedom, so may it be memorable in the tables of gratitude.
The president of the United States—May he live forever in the affections of his countrymen, and in the virtues of his successors.
The vice-president of the United States—May this political luminary long continue to adorn the American horizon.
The governor and commonwealth—May the sons of Massachusetts be as distinguished for their attachment to the government, established by the American people, as they once were for their opposition to the usurpations of monarchy.
The United States of America—May the olive-branch of the federal eagle be accepted by all nations abroad, and his arrows find a quiver in the heart of faction at home.
The French republic—May she speedily enjoy, in the bosom of peace, those rights and liberties, which she has dared to wrench from the gripe of despotism.
The federal constitution—May its adminis-

tration be as happy, as its principles are salutary! Alexander Hamilton—Let the prosperous state of his finances be his panegyric! John Jay—May the result of his mission be as satisfactory to his fellow-citizens, as the object is honorable to his country! Government, without tyranny; and liberty, without licentiousness. Our brethren of the human race—May national distinctions be finally lost in universal philanthropy.
Latest from GUADALOUPE.
Communicated by Capt. Nicholson, lately arrived at Plymouth.
AS the accounts respecting Guadalupe have been very different, the following facts are thought worth notice.—The British evacuated the fort at Basseterre the 11th of December, which gave the French complete possession of all Guadalupe. The 5th of January a frigate failed from Point-a-Petre, said to be bound for Virginia—her tender returned the next day, and informed that the frigate fell in with a British ship of the line, between Guadalupe and the Saints—after an engagement of five hours, the frigate being dismasted, struck. The 6th and 7th, a squadron of ten sail, mostly shore ships, with two Commissioners, arrived from France.—The largest and most valuable of the squadron was taken by a British 74 off the east end of the Island—She had, (twas said) 600 men, with all the ordnance, stores and engineers on board. The Commodore was imprisoned on his arrival for not fighting. The fleet brought in one battalion of French Grenadiers, and in my opinion, (as I saw them landed) about 600 other troops, chiefly people of color, who had been sent off from Martinique and Guadalupe by the British at the time of their taking those Islands.—They were in elegant uniform, and as fine looking troops as I ever saw. The 8th, the Concord and a sloop of war arrived from Boston.
From S A L E M, Feb. 24.
A letter from a respectable character at Philadelphia, dated the 14th inst. to a gentleman in this town, says—“The treaty is not arrived—no further accounts of its contents. We are all anxious for its arrival before the 3d of March.—I can tell you one piece of good news—it is said and believed, that the Dey of Algiers is disposed to make peace with this country on moderate terms. Col. Humphreys our Minister at Portugal who has been charged with that business, unexpectedly arrived here a few days ago, and it is conjectured his coming is in consequence of some arrangements to that object; and it is said he will leave the United States in a few days to return for Europe to assume his ministerial functions. You may rest assured I believe on the truth of the disposition in Algiers towards peace with us, and on the expectation of its being soon accomplished.”
Biographical sketch of Dugommier;
[Translated from a Paris paper of 21 Frimaire—Dec. 11.]
“IF in the crisis of a political tempest, it is important for good citizens to oppose force and energy to those detestable men who take an interest in their country, only to enrich themselves by its spoils, and on its ruins to erect a tyrannic power, it is surely well to pay the tribute of a glorious homage to those who have made the most loyal sacrifices to her protection. In fulfilment of this sacred duty, we hasten to give the public an eulogium, handed to us by a person particularly known to the late General DUGOMMIER.”
“The loss our Republic has lately experienced in the fall of DUGOMMIER, could not have been too much lamented. Nature is so sparing in the production of men of his stamp, that we can, in some degree, only retaliate our obligations to her, in this instance, by delineating him as he was.”
“It is also a civic duty. For our country should draw advantages from the virtues of those heroes, who by defending her, have offered themselves as models to posterity: And Dugommier is indisputably one she will most proudly present.”
“Dugommier, aged 55, was robust, and strongly organized. His height 5 feet, 10 inches, and beautifully proportioned. His deportment martial and noble. His manners mild, plain and easy. His features regular, without formality: A fine oval face expressed the emotions of his superior soul. His thick light hair gave a relief to that look of dignity, which was natural to him. His eyes, rather small than large, ( d'un coup agreable ), brilliant, dark, replete with fire, intelligence and gaiety.”
“He had a scar near his mouth; a testimony of former services, but which did not derange the harmony of his features. A trifling deafness in his left ear, was the only tribute he had paid in passing from the prime of this life, to that which he has just begun.”
“This exterior, agreeable to all eyes, was in a particular manner interesting to those who look for character in figure. In this point of view, never man inspired more respect, confidence, and tenderness of his fellow citizens. The physiognomist always remained his admirer and friend.”
“Such was Dugommier, who received from nature a vast and penetrating genius—a strong and elevated soul, which breathed on him, as an imperious necessity, the happiness of all who breathed.”
“These dispositions, supported by a cultivation always progressing, and an experience which enriched itself from every source, formed the most accomplished man of this age, and of perhaps any preceding.”
“The limits of a letter does not allow of history. I sketch a model only. Some better pen will finish the design. He will be portrayed as a son, a husband, father; as a cultivator and a soldier; as the General of an army; a statesman and a philosopher; but I describe him as a friend. With this title, alas! what an altar is due to him!—What tears should cement its base!—What regrets should ascend on it, as incense!—Now does his name revive circumstances that have honoured and sanctified friendship.”
“I cannot write them. It is a letter which I write: But soon will it be known, that his soul exhibited a beautiful temple, in which the sensibilities were the constant ministers; and that it is to his memory, that that consolatory divinity of the human race will be indebted for its continuance and worship. And alas! Let all of us who have had the happiness of sharing the affections of this sublime mind, let us unite to collect his remains, and to console his family. To dry the tears of his interesting daughter. Let us erect a monument, on which we will swear that his memory shall forever unite us, sacredly to guard all that now remains of him.”
BOSTON, March 2.
THE GEORGIA BUSINESS
is of the most alarming nature. If it is not put a stop to, war, not only with the Creeks, but with the Spaniards, is inevitable. The sale of the Western lands of the United States, will be totally defeated. Thus, an increase, instead of a reduction, of the public debt; an extension of hostilities with the most powerful Indian tribes, instead of peace—and the loss of several millions of dollars, by the inability of the United States to sell their lands, will be the fruits of the grasping and insatiable speculations of a few individuals. An inquiry into this business is indispensable; and if those who ought to cherish the tranquility of the United States, and who are among the peculiar guardians of its welfare and peace, are concerned in it, they ought to forfeit their stations, and their country's confidence.
FRENCH COLONIES.
Two gentlemen, lately arrived from L'Arcahabe at New-York, report, that the principal inhabitants of St. Marc, being tired, either of the English government, or of the rigorous service they were forced to, had formed the project of driving the English garrison away, and of rendering themselves masters of the frigate Penelope. But the plot being discovered, the commander of the town demanded assistance of La Pointe, who being himself harassed by the insurgents of the Quartier des Matheux, found it impossible to march to St. Marc. However, the commander of the latter place succeeded in getting 40 of the ring-leaders arrested, who were sent to Jamaica. It is assured that more than 150 inhabitants were concerned in the plot.
THE ROYALISTS
and Republicans, by information from Capt. O'Neil, of the ship Knight, belonging to this town, lately put into Cork, have had an engagement, within 15 miles of L'Orient, in which the Republicans lost 8000, and the Royalists 5000 men.
Contributions for the emancipation of our brethren in Algiers, were made in several of the congregations in this Commonwealth, on the day of Thanksgiving. We have not heard the extent of the sum collected.
From PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20.
The sessions of the third Congress of the United States, close on Wednesday next.
NEWBURY-PORT, Feb. 27.
From CAPE-FRANCOIS, Jan. 13.
A letter from the Master of an American vessel at Cape-Francois, to a gentleman in this town, says, “The markets here are very poor. The Administration take our cargoes, and pay us in what they please, and at their prices. If we had liberty to dispose of them to individuals, it would be an advantage of 50 or 60 per cent. to us.—Some vessels have been lying here 5 months, and it is quite uncertain when we shall be able to obtain liberty to sail, as they will not grant it to any.”
The sale of the property of the emigrants, (says a Paris paper, of Dec. 10) goes on with great success, in the different districts of the Republic: in that of Chatillon sur Sein, one lot estimated at 4935 livres has been sold for 36658 livres. Property in the other districts have been sold for nearly in the same proportion.
The minister of Denmark has presented to the Diet of Ratisbon, a memorial, which announces the disposition of the King his master, to mediate a general peace.
Marine Intelligence.
A very severe gale of wind was experienced at the southward on the 21st January, which did considerable damage to the shipping. Capt. Marney, from Richmond, bound to New-York, suffered much, and spoke a number of vessels in distress.
A vessel has arrived at Cape-Ann, the Captain of which spoke a vessel at sea, out upwards of 100 days, belonging to New-York—They were out of all kinds of sustenance—had cast lots, and killed one of their people to keep them from starving. After eating their unfortunate fellow-sufferer, they again cast lots, when the person to whose lot it fell to die, requested leave to go aloft, and happily discovered the above vessel, the Captain of which supplied them with things necessary for their relief.
Capt. Alquit, arrived at Norfolk, on the 8th January—spoke the brig Polly from Newbury-Port, bound to North-Carolina.
The following is extracted from Captain Cushing's Protest, arrived at Norfolk, from Cape-Francois, and will shew the actual situation of every vessel in that place, and their prospect of indemnification for the seizure of their cargoes, and unjust detention of their vessels.
After a voyage of 28 days, bound from Alexandria to Cape Nichola Mole and a Market.
“Being three leagues distant from Fort Pelican, I was boarded by the sloop Republican, Capt. Pomey, and ordered into port; being doubtful of the consequence, I demanded leave to go off, but was denied. At nine o'clock the pilot came on board, and at 11 came to anchor in the harbour of Cape Francois. A guard of soldiers then came on board me, who took me out of my vessel, and conducted me before the General, to whom I produced a manifest of my cargo. He offering me less than the first cost, I told him I could not comply with his terms. His answer was, that I should not leave the port until I did. In this disagreeable situation, and my cargo perishing, on the 1st Sept. I was obliged to comply, and delivered to the government of Cape-Francois my cargo, to be paid for in 35 days, in coffee, sugar and molasses.”
“After repeated application, they again told me on the 10th November, that I should be paid in 25 days, and the payment made in rotation, as they were pleased to call it, which was so very slow, that at a moderate computation my turn would not come on for four months, and perhaps not then, as they disregarded their promises; those who have money being always able to purchase, and thereby deprive us of the payments to be made us. Seeing that there was little chance of payment I was obliged to leave the port without any return cargo, as the vessel was at a very heavy expence from so long and unjust a detention.”
Annexed to the protest are two certificates, the one from the masters of vessels in port, certifying that they would not allow Capt. Cushman to protest against their conduct at Cape-Francois; and another from B. H. Philips, American Consul for St. Croix, certifying the truth of it.
PLYMOUTH, FEB. 21.
The Schooner Lucy, Thomas Nicholson, master, arrived here from Point-a-Petre, Guadalupe, which place she failed from the 11th January. Capt. Nicholson left at Point-a-Petre a number of American vessels.
PROVIDENCE, Feb. 21.
Thursday last arrived the ship General Washington, Capt. John Field, jun. in 61 days from Madeira. In lat. 23, 30 long. 19 spoke the Schooner Diligence, Capt. Peale, from Madeira, bound to Boston, 4 days out all well.
PORTSMOUTH, March 3.
With pleasure we inform the public, that the President of the United States has appointed the Hon. JOHN PICKERING, Esq. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of this State, a JUDGE in the DISTRICT COURT of the UNITED STATES for this DISTRICT, being vacated by the death of JUDGE SULLIVAN.

FOR THE GAZETTE.
Mr. Melcher,
You will oblige a number of your customers, by inserting in your paper the humane and pious address of BISHOP SEABURY, to the churches, under his charge in Connecticut and Rhode-Island, soliciting their charitable donations for the redemption of the American Prisoners in Algiers; in Connecticut only, the parishes, who it is expected will be more immediately influenced by this benevolent epistle, are upwards of twenty in number. The influence of this recommendation, the benevolent and liberal exertions of the south and north parishes, and the society of Universalists in this town, it is hoped will not remain confined to any particular societies, but be extended to the humane and charitable in every part of the United States.
Being happy in having it in our power to gratify any of our numerous customers, we therefore present them with BISHOP SEABURY's address, which follows.
SAMUEL, by divine permission, Bishop of Connecticut and Rhode-Island, To the Episcopal Clergy and Congregations in Connecticut and Rhode-Island, Greeting.
HAVING received a proposal for a Continental Contribution for the relief of our Brethren in Captivity at Algiers; and being earnestly solicitous to see the benevolent, and to every Christian heart, deeply interesting plan carried into full effect; I do most fervently recommend it to you, Brethren, beloved in Christ, to have such a Contribution made in all the Episcopal Congregations in Connecticut and Rhode-Island—in such manner as you shall
judge most conducive to its fullest success, on the third Sunday of March next ensuing, or on some Sunday soon following—trusting in the all powerful grace of Almighty God, that this good work of mercy will become general among Christians of all denominations in the United States of America.
I do further recommend, That all monies so collected, do remain in the hands of the Minister and Church Wardens, or Committee of the Church where the contribution is made, till such time as a proper person shall be appointed to receive and apply the same; of which public notice shall be given by me.
Recommending this Charity most earnestly to you; and commending you Brethren, to the grace and protection of Almighty God, I remain your affectionate Brother in Christ,
SAMUEL, Bp. Connecticut and Rhode-Island.

Mr. Melcher,
The annual town meeting will ere long be here, and from the many complaints daily arising respecting the smallness of bread (which is the staff of life) I would beg leave to submit the following for the consideration of the inhabitants of this town, “whether an assize of bread is not highly necessary,” and if so, that a law be made for that purpose, and suitable men chosen to see that law put in force.—It is from no other motive in me, than a feeling for the many poor, who feel the effects of a want of that remedy—many will be apt to say flour is high; my reply is, that it is as necessary when flour is a guinea pr. barrel, as at three pounds.
