TANNING.
French new method of Tanning, invented by citizen Seguin.
THE new method of tanning is founded on an accurate knowledge of the materials which tan them. It consists in letting the skins lie several days in a solution of bark, deprived of its tan, and
slightly acidulated with sulphurous acid. That substance, which causes the hair to adhere to the skin, is thus burnt up, and the hair therefore comes off easily; the skins, softened and swoln in this preparation, are then taken out, and afterwards suspended in solutions, more or less impregnated with tan. In a few days, and about fifteen days for the strongest skins, this substance penetrates in layers into the centre of the skins, combines itself with the animal substance, and gives it, by saturation, that character, which resists putrefaction, and, at the same time, sufficient solidity to make it fit to make shoes. This method of Seguin's has a triple advantage; first, it is the most expeditious mode of tanning; secondly, less expensive; and lastly, more complete, than any other method, as it gives the highest degree of solidity to leather, which the tan can communicate; and on comparison, hides thus tanned have been found to exceed the dressed skins of any other country whatsoever.
The quickness of this method is such, that by taking the proper precautions, calve-skins may be tanned in two days, and the strongest ox hides in ten or fifteen days. This new method has also the advantage of rendering, in the process, the use of barley wholly unnecessary, of which all tanneries have hitherto consumed a very great quantity. A large capital is also unnecessary; and remote forests may be turned to advantage, by barking and separating from the bark, that matter which is the principle of tan, upon the very spot; thus reducing the necessary part of the bark to a very small weight, and consequently much diminishing the expense of carriage. The simplicity of the whole operation is such, that any private man may tan hides for his own consumption, with more facility, than a common professed tanner.

FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, March 3.
REPORT,
ON THE SITUATION OF FRANCE.
CAMBRACES. Representatives of the people, it is at the moment when circumstances, may give a great activity to our foreign relations, that it is important to manifest your intention upon this part of government.
You have invested your committee of Public Safety, with the direction of political operation; it now comes to you to demand that no uncertainty may subsist, with respect either to the extent or the limits of their powers.
The French-revolution, sustained by so many triumphs, has given a general impulse to Europe towards liberty, towards the annihilation of the shackles which prolonged the infamy of nations, and towards the improvement of the human mind. From this time, it is necessary that the peaceable and uniform progress of light, and the example of our happiness, should complete a work begun in the midst of storms. If the shocks of thunder, and the struggle, of the elements, pacify the air, and disengage the fecundating parts, it is only by the soft heat of the Sun, and under the influence of a calm and serene sky, that the seeds confined to the bottom of the earth can be ripened.
Peace is the end of the war; so many wars have been entered into thro' caprice, and continued to promote private interest that government have given to their subjects the full measure of their tyranny, and their perversity. It is ambition which makes kings arm; it is justice which arms the people: And where is the people, who, having dispatched the league of their enemies, overthrown their projects, and confounded their ambition, would refuse the most flattering of all glories, that of giving peace to the world, after having conquered it?
The Republic, triumphant, prepared to fly to new triumphs, is desirous of peace; she wishes an universal peace, and such a one as would forever assure the repose of the world.
But, if you cast your eyes upon Europe, the view will shew you that the glorious talk of the defenders of their country is not yet completed. There still are governments whom so many defeats and loss have not made ripe for repentance, and whose pride would defer the doing homage to justice and equality.

England has not ceased to aspire to the dominion of the Seas; Austria and Russia conspire together to grasp at the whole dominion of the Continent; their hopes destroyed in the South, are turned against the North of Europe; they think to cure their own evils, by rendering them contagious to the whole universe; in the midst of a general confusion they think to establish their dominion, or indemnify themselves for their losses. Around these powers are groped the other States of Europe, enslaved by seduction, or paralytic with terror, involuntary or blind enemies of a Republic, whose existence guarantees their preservation; some declare themselves insufficient against the efforts of our enemies. In the midst of these, the French nation rises as the centre of all the affections and all the enmities, ready to put a glorious period to a just and terrible war, the fate of which is decided by the courage of the French and by the destiny of human kind.
Citizens, what remains for us to do; whilst our Republican Phalanxes are preparing for new victories against enemies irreconcilable, or not reconciled to us, we ought to present to Europe the exposition of our principles and a pledge of our wisdom, to collect around us those governments who have not joined in an impious coalition and generally receive in our arms those states who have broken the fetters of the league.
In this state of affairs, the question is not to discuss the mode of pacification; that is already indicated to us by the force of events. Our negotiation for a general peace is impossible; while we are contending with enemies depressed but haughty, weakened but enraged, nothing could insure to us the duration or solidity of such a treaty; we should not find a guarantee for such a peace either in the will or in the weakness of our enemies. In the midst of so many negotiations, we being alone, and against all, should be always obliged to aim at driving them. From hence the chimera of an universal peace is seen; the impossibility of bringing to an agreement so many powers whose projects and views are so opposite; it is therefore only by peace with individuals that we can arrive at a general peace.
We do not contend for some wretched quarrels of Ministers, for some ridiculous pretensions of rivalry, for the usurpation of some titles and distant possessions; these and such like objects appear little worthy of the duties which the destinies have imposed upon the French Republic. Whilst all the principles of natural right have been contested, whilst the foundations of all political society have been shaken by tyrannical possessions, whilst a whole nation has been obliged to take arms against invasion, treason, famine, civil war, the division of its territory, the annihilation of its existence, it ought without doubt to arrest its rights, and made use of its power, that they may be forever respected.
If there existed in Europe a right of nations, of acknowledged principles of independence, a freedom of trade and navigation; if there existed a plan against the ambition of usurping powers, then the conditions of peace will be easily dictated and accepted; then we should have no war to maintain; but the necessity of insuring the repose of Europe, and of preserving you from the future evils meditated by your enemies, dictate measures adapted for the attainment of the end you desire.
Here we ought, perhaps, to fix our attention upon those countries which conquest has put into your hands, if the questions you will have to decide upon this important subject did not require an extensive discussion and to be the object of a separate report.
The Republic has natural boundaries in the Alps and the Pyrenees, in the two seas, and a free country which has been our ally for ages. Towards the North it is contiguous to possessions, the demarcation of which, and the jealousy of governments, have caused ages of war; it is on this side that Austria has pretended to take possession of the ci-devant Lorraine; that England has covered the port of Dunkirk and that the navigation of the Scheldt has served as a pretext for its hostile explosions.
It is in these countries, now subject to our arms, that a great number of rivers, after having quitted our Departments, take their course towards the sea, and invite you to confide to them the productions of your soil and industry. You will examine whether the councils of nature, and the experience of ages, do not require you to trace with a steady hand the boundaries of the French Republic? Whether the execution of this great design ought not to be the basis and real guarantee of universal peace? However this be, it is necessary that Europe should know that you are not directed by views of aggrandizement, but by the sentiment of repose; that you are not ambitious of a few hundred square leagues, by that desire of conquest which may govern a despot, or an aristocracy concentrated in a Senate, and that having taken arms for independence you are not to quit them till you have insured its duration by all the means which nature presents to you.
You see, citizens, by this view of the subject, the extent of obligations you have imposed upon the committee of Public Safety, in charging it with the direction of our foreign relations; penetrated with the thought of our duties, we have perceived some difficulties, have foreseen others which it belongs to your wisdom to dispel.
The reporter then goes into a description of the difficulties arising from negotiations being carried on by a committee deputed by a public body, when compared with the operations of a cabinet, where the sovereign will reside, and proposes certain rules of confidence necessary to be delegated to the Executive Ministers, to enable them to treat upon an equal footing with the agents of other powers.
The report concluded by proposing the Decree given in a previous paper. In the sitting of March the 4th, Carnot an-
nounced to the Convention, that the committee of Public Safety has had a chronological tablet representing all the victories gained by the Republicans from September 8, 1793, to the 3d Feb. 1795 executed by an able master in order to serve as a military history, and offer to all future generations of Frenchmen the glory of their ancestors.
This is the result, Carnot said, of our successes: 27 victories, six of which were gained in pitched battles; 120 combats of less importance; 80,000 enemies killed, and 91,000 taken prisoners of war; 117 important fortresses, 36 of which were taken after a close blockade; 230 forts; 38,000 pieces of artillery, 17,000 muskets, 19,000 weight of powder and 90 stands of colours fell into our hands. He proposed and the Convention decreed to have it printed in small books in order to be sent to the armies and departments of the Republic.
The convention decreed during the same sitting, that citizen Miot, commissary of foreign affairs shall be placed by citizen Kolchen. The former was appointed envoy of the Republic at the court of Tuscany.
From a Paris Paper of March 3.
BERCHEN IN NORWAY, JAN. 14.
The French squadron of ships of war was these three weeks ready to set sail; kind providence seems to have retained those intrepid and generous Frenchmen, in order to add to their distinguished character, the glory of having saved the city of Berghen, which without their assistance must have been totally consumed by the flames of the 20th inst. Among the seamen, who braved the most eminent dangers in extinguishing the fire and rushed dauntless in the midst of the flames and snatched trembling women and children out of the arms of death, there was one found drunk; his comrades arrested him immediately and conducted him to prison. On the next day a deputation of the magistrates of Berghen solicited his liberty; but the commander of the French squadron replied that whoever could forget his duty so far as to abandon himself to liquor, at the moment when the lives and properties of his fellow creatures were to be saved, was unworthy the name of a Frenchman and ought therefore to be severely punished.
We expect that the wind being now fair the French convoy accompanied by the squadron, will set sail this day.
LONDON, Feb. 20.
Extract of a letter from a Medical gentleman at Helvoetsluyts, to his friend in this city.
"I remain here with the sick of the different hospitals in the lower parts of Holland. We have the utmost reason to be satisfied with the conduct of the French, to all the Medical people since the 23d ult. but still more, their attention and humanity to our sick. It is true they are prisoners of war, but they want for nothing, every article of diet being provided by the French. As soon as all the sick shall have recovered, and be fit to march, I expect to visit England, as all the surgeons, &c. left here on duty, have been told that they are free men; the non-commissioned officers and privates, who were with the stores and baggage, are also at liberty, and are to be sent to England with the women and children, by the first convenient opportunity. We enjoy here every comfort, and are as happy as our friends could wish us."
FEBRUARY 21.
By the ship Cosmopolitan from Havre, we have the following particulars—That General O'Hara has been transferred from Luxembourg to a private house in Paris; and that all other prisoners and hostages have much better treatment than heretofore—Public spectacles are as animated and as much frequented as ever—Commerce is flourishing in all the ports of France—The most perfect liberty of the press prevailed,—and that travelling is as free and commodious as ever.
MARCH 5.
This morning arrived the two mails due from Ireland, which we are sorry to say, confirm, beyond all doubt, the unfortunate misunderstanding that has taken place in that Kingdom.—By a private letter we learn, that Sir Lawrence Parsons, and others, have declared they will oppose the progress of the money bills for a longer period than two or three months, in order that the Parliament may keep a proper controul in their own hands.
March 24.
CAPTURE OF K. GEORGE PACKET.
Yesterday a letter was received at the general post-office, dated Yarmouth, March 22d, which states, that the prince of Orange, Capt. Bridge, had arrived there the preceding evening. Capt. Bridge, on his passage from Harwich, spoke with the Argus revenue cutter, Capt. Saunders, and was informed, that the King George packet, Capt. Deane, had been taken by four French frigates. She sailed from Cruxhaven the 14th or 15th inst. with the first mail on board from that place, and had the answers to 9 or 10 different mails which were sent from hence after the interruption with Holland, and it is supposed had remittances on board for above half a million of money. It is also presumed, a messenger with the emperor's answer to our court, concerning the loan, is unfortunately captured in this packet.
PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 28.
THE POPE,
fearful of the successes of the French in Italy, has already announced his intentions of quitting Rome, to commence his travels.
DULCE ET DECORUM EST.
Colonel Doyle is recruiting his regiment in Dublin. This corps consisted of 1,500 brave fellows, when it was landed on the continent, in the spring of 1794; and (painful to relate) only eleven privates now remain.
THE ROAD TO RUIN.
Col. Thornton's guns and howitzers were sold last week at Tatterfall's; and the prices given for each were exorbitant: one young fox-hound bitch sold alone for 230 guineas.
DEFENSIVE PREPARATIONS.
The 78th regiment is on board the Stately, of 64 guns, which put into Falmouth a few days ago by contrary winds.
The 59th and other regiments, are ordered to repair to Portsmouth, there to await the arrival of our troops from Germany, by whom they will be joined; and the whole, it is expected will form a camp at Southampton.
On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Lancashire volunteers consisting of 1000 men, arrived at Newcastle, and have since marched to Tynemouth barracks, north and south Shields. The Northumberland militia is at Gateshead, (some quartered in private gentlemen's houses) at Durham Chester-le-street, &c.
There are now at Newcastle, the West York militia, the Roxburg and the Berwickshire cavalry; two of the other regular regiments of foot, and the 10th light dragoons are daily expected to arrive.
The Leicestershire militia, which have been quartered at Ely, Soham, Newmarket, and Mildenhall for the winter, passed through Cambridge last week in three divisions, on their route for Hull, where they expect to be stationed for some time.
The North York militia is gone to Sunderland, Wearmouth, &c.
Barracks are now fitting up at Deal, for the reception of the British sick and wounded at Embden, which it is the object of Admiral Harvey's voyage to bring over.
HAMBURGH, March 9.
It is confidently asserted, that the Empress of Russia, intends taking an active part against France, the ensuing campaign. For this purpose, her troops lately in Poland, are advancing towards South Prussia; and we are given to understand, that she will not suffer the King of Prussia to make peace. With 80,000 of her vassals, she may, perhaps, change the face of war which has heretofore been covered with gloom.
OF POLAND.
Stanislaus, the mild, but infirm, ex king of Poland, unequal to the weight of cares which enveloped him, has formally resigned his crown, which to him has been a crown of thorns; and the meretricious Katherine has invited him to her dominions, doubtless with the same friendly cordiality, that a wolf invites a lamb to her den.
A convoy from the Baltic, laden with naval stores has arrived at Brest. This is an event of serious importance.
HOLLAND
May be said to be perfectly Frenchified.—These ci-devant tri-culotte gentry now "trip it on the light fantastic toe" to the tune of Caragnole, as merrily as any sans-culotte that ever issued from Paris. The cockade is mounted in every hat, Myneheer feels as happy in complying with Pichegru's requisitions, as if they cost nothing, or he could make a penny by them. Which is saying a great deal. One curious requisition is that of 2000 cats to kill the rats in the magazines of the two Republics.
Friday, more than a Million Sterling was paid into the Bank, as the last payment bearing discount on the loan of eleven Millions; to that, with the payment of Thursday, and the new deposit, near seven Millions of the new loan are already paid up.
BALTIMORE, May 8.
AUTHENTIC.
We are authorized to say, that the Governor of Virginia, has countermanded the orders to Colonel Wilson and Colonel Newton, of Norfolk, who in consequence thereof had required British ships of war to depart from our ports—and had cut off all supplies to them from the shore.
Extract of a letter from Mr. James Purviance, at Halifax, dated the 9th of April, 1795, to Samuel and John Smith, Esqrs, of this town.
"The Halifax paper of the 3d instant, informs, that his Majesty's ship Thistle had arrived from a cruise, bringing with her the ship Pomona of Baltimore, from Bourdeaux, laden with wine, brandy, &c. &c. and £25,000 sterling, in casks, under the name of paints, which probably may be copied into the United States papers, not one word of which is true—the ship being in ballast, your money as well as that belonging to Cunningham Nesbitt and Co. being in boxes and bags under the name of Crowns, and only the five casks, as before mentioned, shipped by Fenwick, Mason, and Co. and called paints, of which please inform Mr. Mason, as also, that I shall not put in a claim for them, unless I claim them as taken within the United States."
PHILADELPHIA, May 13.
Extract from a letter of an American Consul, to the Secretary of State, dated in England, February 10.
"The wheat crop of this country, proving short, and there being no supplies from the Baltic or America, our prices of grain are raised to a very enormous pitch, and from the appearances of affairs, there is little probability of a re-
duction soon—wheat is here 7/6 to 7/9 per bushel, Winchester, weighing 60 to 62 pounds—fine flour 18/6 per ct.—seconds 17/6 per ct.—barley 4/6 per bushel, Winchester."
From "the Argus" of yesterday, a new daily paper published in New-York, by Mr. Greenleaf.
The Port Mary, Capt. Kennedy, arrived at this port on Saturday evening in 40 days from Liverpool. Capt. Kennedy brought papers to March 25, which contain very little intelligence. A Liverpool paper of March 23, contains a Corunna account of a battle in Rouillon, which states that the French lost 1000 killed and 2000 taken prisoners, but the Capt. says, accounts at Liverpool were that there had been a battle in which the Spaniards were beaten, which is most likely to be fact, as at Corunna the truth must not be told at all times. The accounts of peace with Prussia and Spain do not seem to be confirmed. Provisions were cheaper at Liverpool than in this city.
NEW-YORK, May 15.
Yesterday afternoon, 24 brass cannon, lately from the foundry at Springfield, were paraded on the Battery, for the purpose of being proved. On their being discharged, 13 unfortunately burst.
As the people of this State are anxious to know the truth respecting Mr. Jay's return to America, we have taken pains to ascertain the fact; which is, that Mr. Jay, by means of the consul at Liverpool, made inquiries concerning the ships, bound to New-York, their goodness, accommodations, &c. The consul determined on the port Mary, and made application for a passage for Mr. Jay in her, and wished the Captain to wait some days for the purpose; but Capt. Kennedy was about sailing before the information arrived, and declined waiting.—The report that Mr. Jay expected or intended to wait for the ratification of the treaty, never had any foundation in fact.
Mr. Jay was not at Liverpool himself.
BOSTON, May 21.
From PHILADELPHIA, May 12.
The Danish ship Abo, with 820 hhds. of tobacco, all American property got under weigh 20th ult. from Norfolk, and was followed two hours after by the British frigate Hussar, Capt. Berisford who captured and made a prize of her.
Capt. —, from Cadiz, spoke the ship Pomona, Capt. Boyd Buchanan from Halifax, on the 12th May, out 20 hours, for Baltimore—who informed, that the ship Confederacy, Capt. Goodrich, of New-York, was just going into Halifax, prize to the brig Incess Louisa taken 16 hours from New-York.
Capt. WHEELWRIGHT from St. Eustatia, mentions that he was there six days after the French took possession of the island—That the Dutch Governor resided there, but that the French cockade was mounted, and the government wholly in their hands. Expeditions against the British islands were daily talked of.
A Captain of a vessel from the West-Indies, says that the French, in conquering the islands, have adopted a new mode—When the General takes possession, he does it with a few officers, clothes the mulattoes and blacks in uniform, sets them free, and thus has an army at command.
From ALGIERS, August 12.
Extract of a letter from Capt. O'BRIEN, now in captivity, to his friend, dated Algiers, August 12, 1794, and 10th captivity.
DEAR SIR AND FRIEND,
I am glad you are in good health, and once more blessed with the presence of your wife and child. The Almighty, I hope will compensate you for many sufferings, in the city of misery, during the period of your captivity. These affairs I hope you will erase and obliterate from your memory.
I have now to request, you will have published in America, the following list of mortality.—It will relieve from a tormenting state of suspense, the surviving friends of the deceased.—
Samuel Milburne, (mate) died Feb. 6. Benjamin Wood, (mate of the Olive Branch) Feb. 6. Thomas Furnace, (second mate of Olive Branch) Feb. 12. Capt. Me Shane, June 16. William Prior (mate) July 3. John Mott, Feb. 13. Archibald Whitten, April 24. John Rinfield, May 17. Peter Bondex, June 1. Philip Loring, July 12. Thomas Stafford, July 14. John Herman, July 16. (mariners) Nicholas Box, July 20, and Daniel Collins, August 1—all in 1794.
R. O'BRIEN. To Angelo D' Andrews, Livorne.
NEW STATE HOUSE.
The workmen employed in digging the cellar for the new State House—broke ground on Friday last. The work, we are told, will be prosecuted with vigour.
RUPTURE WITH THE PORTE.
Accounts from Constantinople, subsequent to those that mentioned the conference of the Russian Minister with the Reis Effendi upon the affairs of Poland, state that the former has delivered a very positive representation upon the neglect of the Porte to indemnify the Russian Merchants for the confiscation of their vessels and merchandise, previous to the declaration of the last war. The demand on this score amounts to a million and a half of piastres; the revival of which was looked upon as portending an approaching rupture.

MR. MELCHER,

TWO very important causes have lately been determined by the Judges of the Supreme Federal Court at Philadelphia; that very unprecedented claim of the administrators on the estate of Elisha Doane, against John Penhallow, Esq. and others, owners of the privateer M c Clurey—also Cornelius Vanhorn, against Dorrance, for the recovery of an estate, of which Mr. Dorrance had been many years in possession.
The first cause had been determined in favor of Doane's administrators; whereby many reputable gentlemen in this town are become the subjects of ruin and distress, for supporting the laws of their own State, against the most unjust demands on them that ever disgraced the annals of any nation.
The merits of this claim had been decided by two Courts in this State, against Doane, from which no appeal could be granted by an express law of this State, passed July 3, 1776; before even independence was declared by the American Congress, at which time New-Hampshire had formed a government totally unconnected with all the world, only by a delegation to a Congress of other sovereign Colonies, for their united defence against their common oppressors: all matters before this Congress were advisory and recommendatory, and required confirmation from every Colony before they were binding on any. The merits of this extraordinary demand, have never been heard before any of these Federal Courts. The pleadings only have been before the Judges, whether an appellate jurisdiction could be allowed (the laws of New-Hampshire non-oblige) after several hearings before Commissioners and Circuit-Courts, on the pleas of jurisdiction, they have sustained the appeals, in violation of New-Hampshire laws. And upon a writ of error at the Supreme Court at Philadelphia, the Judges have again supported the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts; all of which were instituted years after this extraordinary cause had been determined by two Juries, agreeable to the then existing laws of New-Hampshire, from which no appeal lay, in support of their opinions. The Judges alledge, that all power was in Congress, from November, 1775, and no act of any Colony could invalidate any resolves then made; this is the whole ground upon which they stand, and that all Courts of Commissioners appointed by Congress, must have appellate jurisdiction in all prize causes, even though such Commissioners were not then in esse, at the time of appeal, this right would not have been denied, if Congress had been interested in the armed vessels. By this decision the sovereignty of New-Hampshire is completely annihilated, its right of legislation controverted, and the liberties and properties of its subjects invaded, and their persons liable to imprisonment in a Bastille, without even the privilege of Bail Bonds, for the liberties of the Prison-Yard; these are the blessed effects of our Federal Courts, publish it in Gath, publish it in the streets of Askelon, publish it throughout the United States of America! Memorials have been sent to Congress, which have been laid on the table.—Remonstrances have been presented, but, horrible dictu, nothing done.
By the determination of the Vanhorne cause, some thousands of innocent settlers will be thrown upon the public, and deprived of their habitations which they had settled upon under the jurisdiction of Connecticut grants.—This rapid increase of power in the Federal Courts of America, is become alarming, and verifies the opinion of one of our first Patriots of 1775 (at a time which tried men's souls) one, who for many years was a Member of Congress, and even when these Federal Courts were first instituted, this gentleman in a letter to his friend in this town, dated New-York, Sept. 14, 1789, says, "The Judicial Bill is now under consideration of Congress, this department I dread, as an awful Tribunal—by its institution the Judges are completely independent, being secure of their salaries, and removable only by impeachment, not being subject to discharge on the address of both Houses, as is the case in Great Britain, the Courts have cognizance of common law, and exchequer causes—and also those of maritime and admiralty jurisdiction, their power also extends to criminal cases, and notwithstanding the Supreme Court, has original cognizance of causes that will effect the lives, liberties and properties of the citizens, and there is no appeal from this Tribunal, they are not only Courts of law, but also of equity."
VIVE LA PATRIOTE.
PHILADELPHIA, May 15.
Capt. Lillibridge, spoke with Capt. Jacock at the Fort, who told him that the brig Noah's Ark, which he commanded, failed from New-Orleans with French passengers bound for this port, and that about the 1st inst. on the Mar-tys the Noah's Ark was lost; that some time before the founder he went down to the cabin to procure his papers, but before he returned a Mr. Robini, with three or four others jumped in the brig's boat and went off to sea. Thus circumstanced he prepared a raft, on which he, the crew and the remainder of the passengers committed themselves to the waves; in that situation they remained about 30 hours, at which time they were picked up by Capt. Churnside of the brig Swallow, from the Havana, which is now arrived at the fort. No accounts have been received of the fate of the persons who put off in the boat. In the Jane came 22 French passengers.
The insurgents are now on trial—their fate uncertain. We are all peace-trade brisk—produce high—money scarce—and groans and complaints as usual since the year one.
NEW-YORK, Feb. 17.
Extract of a letter from a French Republican to his friend in Philadelphia.
Nantes, Feb. 8.
"We arrived at Nantes after a passage of 26 days from Philadelphia without meeting a single ship of the enemy. The citizens of Nantes received us with cordiality. This is one of the commercial cities of France, the most interested in the fate of the colonies, and sympathises sincerely the misfortunes of the West-India planters.
"I can assure you that the Republic does not intend to abandon the colonies; government is now busily occupied with repairing our losses; but woe to those who are taken in arms among the enemies of liberty. The affair of Gen. Galbaud is not yet settled; but will soon be decided; he was set free with the commissioners deputed by the colonists.
"Aristocrats, whom I knew very well at Philadelphia, are now eager to put up a national cockade, and never are without a single moment; that emblem of the ruin of all Frenchmen enhances the charms of the fair sex, who wear it also, and you may depend that they do not in the least despise a true Republican like your furies of Philadelphia, who complain of vapors at the sight of a cockade.
"The French aristocrats who reside on the American continent are perfectly known in France; those also who live with the British at St. Domingo; their frequent excursions, the ships they are invested in, nothing escapes the vigilance of a democratical government. I find that they are here in France much better informed of the perfidious manoeuvres of those aristocrats, than you are in America.
"I do all in my power in order to be permitted to assist in the expedition against St. Domingo, which will soon be carried into execution: I do not know whether I shall succeed because I have some reason to believe, that no colonists will be allowed to take part in that expedition.
"It is resolved to restore to the planters their property, but this cannot take place before the grand affair of the colonies be decided, which must ere long be done; then forces and laws will at once be transmitted.
"A military officer, charged with a secret mission, has been dispatched to St. Domingo; report says that it was General Dufourneaux, but I can hardly believe it, considering that he has been embarrassed by the men of colour: it is also reported that a company of negroes who served against the rebels at La Vendee, will be embarked for St. Domingo.
"All the rebels have submitted to the laws of the Republic, and are now partly reinforcing our armies. Charette, their known chief, met with a favorable reception at Nantes, and his reconciliation seems to be perfectly sincere.
"An army of more than one hundred thousand fighting men, whom we maintained in La Vendee, will now be directed against the true enemies of our country. The British are not much at ease. Peace, with all nations! war forever with the English! this is the watch words of our armies.
Extract from the Gazette National de Paris.
On the 29th December last, Mr. Pitt transmitted 30,000 pounds sterling to the court of Copenhagen as an indemnification for the 40 merchant ships which were declared by the admiralty to be unjustly seized.
After such proceeding on the part of the British government, what can be the reasons or motives that authorise all the depredations committed by England on the American commerce? for notwithstanding the treaty of amity concluded between America and Great Britain, the armed ships and privateers of the latter power do not cease to seize and condemn the ships of the former.
According to letters from the capital of Austria the Emperor applied to the Pope entreating the Holy Father to open in his favor, the treasures of the church. The Pope always jealous to support powerfully the cause of the true believers, granted most graciously, for his contingent a jubilee and solemn prayers all over the Holy Roman empire, in order to obtain from the good Sabooth who is known to be the god of war, the benediction of heaven over the Prussian and Austrian cavalry, infantry, &c.
MAY 18.
Yesterday afternoon arrived here, in 40 days from Greenock, the ship Amsterdam Packet, Capt. Martin. The London papers by her are to the 28th March, with which the Editor has been very obligingly favored. Such materials as require publicity, shall be more fully detailed in future Gazettes.
Though there is nothing in the papers that requires extraordinary exertion, yet the Editor will barely give a sketch of that which appears worthy of notice.
In the Courier, of March 26, it is said,
That accounts have been received in town, that the transports, and other vessels, which were on their voyage to bring away the British Infantry from the continent, have been dispersed in a gale of wind: Some of them have put into Hull and other ports in the North of England; but many have not yet been heard of.
That Mr. Fox's speech, on Tuesday, astonished even those who have been in the constant habit of attending for years to the speeches of that great man. A speech more replete with incontrovertible argument—more various and profound in its reasoning—more comprehensive in its range—and more clear and luminous in its arrangement, never came from the mouth of man.
That Mr. Pitt's speech on the day of Mr. Fox's motion, was the worst he ever made; it was infolent and impotent; haughty, without being dignified; and dogmatical, without attempt at argument or proof.
That there are Paris papers in town of the 10th, 11th and 12th inst. They make no mention of a decree of accusation having passed against Barrere and his accomplices.
In the SUN of the same date, it is said,
That Earl Fitzwilliam does not seem in a hurry to return to England.
That there were 13,000 soldiers marched into Brest about three weeks before the above date, and are said to be destined to the West-Indies, or the Cape of Good Hope.
That a vast number of flat bottomed boats are at Brest, as well as other sea ports, indeed, it is said, for an expedition in the summer.
That ten sail of the line were detached from the French fleet while at sea, on a secret expedition, whose destination is kept a profound secret.
That a convoy was required for the Packets between Yarmouth and Cruxhaven. The answer of the admiralty was, that no ships could be spared from more expensive services.
In the Telegraph of March 28, it is said,
That the Earl Camden left London the day before, to take upon him the arduous office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. He bears with him the secret instructions of Mr. Pitt.
In the Chronicle of the 28th of March, it is said,
That the Dutch Commissioners left London yesterday evening on their return to Holland. We understand that not one of the objects of their mission are accomplished; and that all discussions on the nature of these objects, was precluded by a direct refusal on the part of our government, to recognise the authority from which the Commissioners derived their powers.
That there is a squadron of six sail of the line, and another of eight frigates, now on a cruise from Brest.
[With respect to an article above stated, concerning the preparation at Brest for a summer expedition, it is a confirmation of the news inserted in this Gazette the 5th inst. by Capt. Heyden, of the Cleopatra from Brest.]
BOSTON, May 21.
The CORUNNA ACCOUNT
of the Spanish victory, at Rosillo, is wholly incredible. Our gallant allies have long since, driven the Spaniards from Rosillo, into Catalonia.
The TOULON FLEET,
which failed on the expedition against Corsica, is reported, in the last London accounts, to have lost seven ships of the line, in a gale. But the manufacturers of the story forgot that the Mercury, which is mentioned among the ships missing, was burnt by Sir Sydney Smith, when the English evacuated Toulon.
From BREST,
we learn, that a greater number of American vessels are now in the ports of the French republic, than at any season since the commencement of the war; many of them, it was feared, would make bad voyages. Hardly any thing would sell for specie. Bread was very scarce, and yet very cheap. The reason of this is, that the commissioners of the republic purchase flour in all the mercantile cities, at the current price, and distribute bread to the people, at a great discount from the prime cost. This politic measure, although a tax on the republic, is actually necessary to preserve peace among the necessitous multitude.
THE EXECUTION,
of Barrere, Billaud Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, has not only completed the triumph of Tallien and Freron, but avowed another revolution of sentiments, in Paris, Barrere was President of the convention, when Louis was condemned, and declared that the tree of liberty must be watered by the blood of the tyrant. Collot d'Herbois, on the 21st September, 1792, moved for the establishment of the republic. He is now condemned, as a royalist. Billaud Varennes was the first, who denounced Robespierre, at the bar of the Convention, at a time when the enormous power of that arch-jacobin had prostrated all opposition. He is now guillotined as his fellow conspirator—"Oh, liberty, what crimes are committed in thy name!"
The following instance of a villainous breach of confidence, even VICTOR HUGUES was particularly anxious should be presented for the detestation of the American public.
Arrived at Guadalupe, April 15, Schooner Polly, JOSEPH PERKINS, of Kennebec, from Dominico, where he contracted with ten French Emigrants, once residents at Basseterre, to bring them to America, and article with them not to touch at any port, except St. Eustatia or St. Thomas's, and received his pay in advance for the service; but unmindful of contract and promise, he no sooner got clear of Dominico, than he made for Guadalupe, where he delivered his passengers up to the commandant; who found upon them a passport of the British Governor, recommending them as good, faithful, and loyal subjects of his Britannic Majesty, to whom they had taken the oath of allegiance. The French commandant, however, fully despising the conduct of the American, had ordered him to be arrested, and his vessel stripped of her sails and rigging, and in that situation she remained when Mr. BANGS left the Island.
We are happy to hear, that the West India fever has greatly abated in the islands. This should not, however, as yet abate our vigilance.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of remedy.
FEDERAL FRIGATE.
On Saturday last, the keel of the United States frigate, building in this town, was finished laying. It is 156 feet in length, and from the elegance of the workmanship, and the goodness of the timber of which it is composed, as well as that in the dock-yard we anticipate that she will be one of the finest vessels that ever floated. She will measure nearly 400 tons more than the Concorde. After the laying, the workmen and a large number of citizens, were very handsomely regaled.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Arrived here Schooner Fair Lady, Eames, in 23 days from Tobago. April 20, off St. Martins spoke sloop Dilpatch, Young 4 days from Guadalupe, for Boston, who had been boarded by two British ships of war, who treated him very politely, and told him, that as Mr. JAY had negotiated a treaty, they had no longer any authority for sending Americans into port for trial.
Brig Dianna, Webb, from Jacmel, was spoke in lat. 35, by an English 74, politely treated, and no inclination expressed to detain him.
Capt. Berton, from Charleston, to New-York, four leagues eastward Charleston bar, took up a large long boat, belonging to the Hero, of Portsmouth, painted G. F. BLUNT, supposed, from having southern wood in her to have been washed overboard.
MAY 23.
Arrived since our last, Schooner Jane, Cobb, from Cadiz, May 12, spoke ship Pomona, Buchanan, from Halifax, for Baltimore, the Capt. of which informed, that all the property claimed, was cleared. We understand, that the silver ingots, in casks, which was entered as Paints, were not claimed. They belonged to Messrs. Fenwick, Mason and Co.
From SALEM, May 19.
Capt. Joseph Lambert, who arrived yesterday morning from Fort Royal, (Martinique) in 26 days, off St. Eustatia was boarded by a boat from the shore, with a French officer, who informed him they expected 1200 additional troops there from St. Martins and Guadalupe, when an immediate attack would be made upon St. Kitts, which he expected would be in their possession in a fortnight. He also said there were 42,000 troops of all colours at Guadalupe who drew rations regularly.
Capt. Lambert was also boarded by an officer from a Bermudian privateer, who detained him half a day, endeavouring by every means to find some pretence for sending him in.
Among the geniuses this country has produced, few stand higher in the mechanical line than a Mr. PERKINS of Newbury-Port; who has nearly completed his engines for cutting nails. This ingenious piece of Machinery, it is said, will enable a boy to cut 3000 nails in a day, and the heading, which is in general a tedious operation, can be performed by a lad of seven years, at the rate of one hundred thousand per day.
NEWBURY-PORT, May 19.
Last Saturday, Capt. WOODBURY arrived at Cape-Ann, 50 days from Rochelle, but brought no papers. Capt. W. informs, that the markets at Bourdeaux for Beef and Fish were very low, but Flour worth 18 crowns. Two hundred sail of American vessels were at Bourdeaux, when he failed. The damage done by the ice was very trifling. Freights for Hamburg were plenty. The markets at Nantz were very good. Left at Rochelle, Capt. Baley, from Beverley. May 1, spoke Schooner Polly, Nicholson, from Boston, for Bourdeaux.
PORTSMOUTH, May 26.
Died in this town, since our last, Mrs. HANNAH PAYSON, aged 25, consort of Mr. JOHN PAYSON.—At Greenland, of a Lock-Jaw, WILLIAM PICKERING, Esq. aged 49.
