Interesting Letter.
[The following extract of a letter from one of the committee of American merchants, who waited on the British ministers, for advice respecting a compliance with orders from America, contains much interesting information, which is of the more consequence as it comes from an authentic source.]
LONDON, June 22.
MY DEAR FRIEND,
I THANK you for the full information contained in your several letters on the subject of the present dispute between the United States and this country. I wrote you my sentiments thereon yesterday, in a letter I forwarded to Lexington. I have expressed the satisfaction I feel in Mr. JAY's having been authorized to adjust those disputes, as from what I have seen of him, and from what I know of the disposition of our government towards America, I am under no apprehensions of being again involved in a war with America. I know from repeated conversations on the subject, it is not the wish of our ministers. Indeed I must say, that, except in the instance of issuing the unfortunate instructions of November 6, I have found them uniformly disposed to act a friendly part towards America; and of her government, they have always spoke to me in terms of great respect. How it happened that those instructions were issued, I cannot tell; but when at the desire of the merchants, I went to our ministers, accompanied by a committee appointed for that purpose, and pointed out to them the mischief that would result from those instructions, they were easily convinced, and the revocation was published without delay. The conduct of the Admiralty Courts in the West-Indies, as stated in your letters, in condemning all vessels indiscriminately which are brought before them for judgment, is highly reprehensible, and I trust will become the subject of enquiry.
"I will not dismiss the subject of politics, without mentioning another instance of the good will which I have given you to understand to be entertained by our ministers towards the United States of America. By the French property bill lately passed, it is made high treason to pay any money to, or for account of, any person or persons who may have been in France since the first of January last, or to furnish them with any kind of goods, &c. of course, if any American should have been in France since, or in any part of her dominions, though perhaps on a visit of curiosity, no house here could have paid any money, or have shipped any goods for his account; nor have paid any bill, or have shipped goods for any house in America, in which he was a partner, without being liable to the penalties of the act. On this the committee of American merchants made a strong representation to Mr. PITT, he immediately desired an interview with me and a sub-committee on the business; he assured us it was not the intention of government that the fair commerce of America should be affected by the act; that the inconvenience complained of should be removed by an order in council. He directed the Solicitor General to prepare such an order; before it was carried into effect, he sent the draft to me with a request that I would lay it before the merchants; the alterations I was instructed to suggest, he admitted without hesitation, and the order was published on the 14th instant. This is done while the subjects of all other neutral nations are still subject to the operation of the bill.—In short, I have the pleasure of repeating, that I am under no apprehensions of our being again involved in a war with America. I am persuaded we shall not, unless Mr. JAY should be instructed to insist on concessions which this country cannot make with honour; and I have too high an opinion of the good sense of America to suspect that he is instructed to make any demand which would be an insuperable bar to the adjustment of the matters in difference.
"Since writing the foregoing, I have had a further communication with Mr.
PITT, and therefore I am warranted in saying, that, if the same conciliatory spirit exists in the government of yours, as of this country, there seems to be a reasonable prospect of an amicable adjustment."
VIENNA, June 25.
A number of troops that were intended to reinforce the army of Italy, have since received orders to march to the Netherlands.
ALTENA, July 3.
Letters from Holland, of the 28th June, say, that CLAIRFAYT, on the 24th was defeated, not far from Bruges. Bruges was taken by the French on the 25th, and Ghent the 26th, the garrison of those places, having evacuated them on the approach of the French. 19 Hanoverians that were taken in the battle of the 24th, were shot, agreeable to the decree of the Convention. The French took Charleroi on the 24th, and the garrison were made prisoners of war.
Prince COBOURG has given orders to evacuate Valenciennes, Conde, Quesnoy and Landrecies. The body of Emigrants that were in Ypres, by means of a disguise in women's or peasant's clothes, chiefly escaped before the surrender of the place. A rumour prevails, that the Prince of Cobourg has been wounded, and General BEAULIEU killed. Further—Bruxells and Ostend were said to have fallen into the hands of the French.
LONDON, July 1.
A late decree of the French Convention, respecting the freedom of trade and commerce has been re-published, by authority, in the Stockholm Gazette.
We hear the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel has granted a remittance of the half-yearly contribution to all his subjects without exception—On the other hand, the Duke of Saxe Teichen, has sent a menacing monitorium to all the States who have not fulfilled the imperial demands—the Imperial Minister, Count SCALICK, has also signified to those circles, to whom he is accredited, that neglect in contributions, &c. will meet with the Emperor's most severe resentments.
The paper read by Mr. SHERIDAN in Friday's debate, is part of a Bulletin Extraordinary, published on the 24th of May at Tournay, by the Emperor, who after recapitulating the success of his troops, goes on thus:—
"But his Imperial Majesty only feels in the more lively manner, the pain of seeing perish so many brave men, unhappy victims to the superiority of numbers, of the acharnement of the enemy, of their own love for their Sovereign, of their discipline and their valour. The advantages of yesterday and the day before, are sufficiently known from the result. His Majesty acknowledges that they are owing to the admirable conduct of the troops;—but this victory, bought by so much blood, costs but too much to his heart. His Majesty is deeply afflicted with so many misfortunes and disasters; amidst the cries of victory, he hears the groans of the wounded. The enemy has lost at least 6000 men, but the combined army cannot have lost less than 2000 soldiers killed.
"The day after 2000 combatants have lost their lives, cannot, to a feeling Monarch, be altogether a day of triumph."
An article from Vienna, dated May 14, says, according to the last letters from Cracow, Gen. Kosciuscov has effected a junction with the Lithuanian army under Bresack, a Cossack.—This part of the Polish army, it is added, is 40,000 strong; the greatest part Cossacks and Tartars, and the rest troops of the line. It is further mentioned that Kosciuscov's purpose is to invade the Russian territory. The rest of the insurgents under Mokronewski and Madalinski, are opposed to the Prussians, and are nearly as numerous as the other body. They have between them 550 pieces of cannon. General Raumer, the Prussian commandant at
Dantzick has assured the inhabitants, that he has no doubts of their attachment to his Prussian Majesty, but only wished to convince the malcontents at Warsaw, that he is prepared for an attack.
JULY 3. There never was a nation more completely duped than England throughout the whole of the present war. She was the last involved in the business, but, either through pride or folly, soon became the principal. She still persists, tho' the King of Prussia has withdrawn himself, and the Spaniards are on the eve of acknowledging what we must in the end do, the French Republic. The Emperor is unable to fight much longer without a subsidy; the Empress has not, nor will afford us the least assistance, and in this reduced situation, are we carrying on a war against the innumerable armies of the French Republic.
The greatest consternation, we are informed, prevails throughout Holland. The army of the allies, if we take into the account the shameful absence of the Prussian troops, does not consist of more than 60,000 effective men, while that of France is three times the number, and is recruited with disciplined soldiers after every action. In the course of this month, the enemy are likely to be masters of all maritime Flanders; and, if the Dutch do not procure a peace, we see nothing that can prevent them from becoming masters of Amsterdam.
We trust that the British character will not be tarnished by our acquiescing in the declaration of Paoli, who has publickly proclaimed—that such of the French shall be sold as slaves, who are taken prisoners, and refuse to cultivate the soil of Corsica.
JULY 4. Yesterday at noon a messenger arrived at the Secretary of State's office, with dispatches from the hon. Mr. TREVOR, his Majesty's minister at Turin, which place he left the 20th ult. These dispatches state, that seven sail of the French line, with several frigates, were blocked up by Lord Hood's fleet at the bay of Gions, near the Hieres, from which situation it was deemed impossible they should escape.
This messenger passed through Brussels and Ghent. It was said at Brussels, that the Prince of Saxe Cobourg with his army was still at Nivelles. The Duke of York it was reported, was still at Renaix. Other reports stated him to have reached Grammont. His baggage and stores had been sent down the Dender and Scheld to Antwerp; and from Grammont he could pursue his rout in security down the banks of those two rivers. Of the four battalions of Hessians left in Tournay by the Duke of York, two had joined him at Renaix, and the other two were hourly expected. They were replaced in Tournay by Austrian troops.
The messenger saw Lord MOIRA's army within two hours march of Ghent, in the neighbourhood of which was Gen. Clairfayt, who had already been reinforced by Gen. Wolmoden with some Hanoverians. He then passed on to Bruges, where he arrived at five o'clock on Tuesday morning. Just as he entered the town, he discovered that it was in possession of the French, who had re-entered it on the same morning at three o'clock. He accordingly turned back, but was soon after pursued some distance by two of the French light-horse, whom he evaded by turning through a wood. From thence he passed on to Flushing, where he embarked for England.
INSURGENTS TRIUMPHANT!
WINCHESTER, (Virg.) AUG. 13.
By the late accounts from the Westward, we are told, that the rioters of Pennsylvania do not confine their operations to their own state: They have visited Morgan Town, and ordered the collector there residing, to resign his office and papers, or they would come and destroy them with all his property. They also sent him a letter, with a fictitious signature, informing him, that on such a night they would pay him a visit; on
such repeated threats, the collector, with the advice of his friends, judged it prudent to decamp—which he did, bringing with him his records, &c.—Agreeably to their notice, a number visited his house the night preceding that appointed, but luckily were disappointed of their intended object.
COUNTERPART.
We are happy to hear, that a very few only of the Virginians approve these rebellious proceedings of their neighbours; and, it is to be hoped their prudence will continue to guard them from associating in measures, that must terminate in the punishment of those persons who are guilty of such illegal conduct.
KNOXVILLE, August 4.
At a court of Oyer and Terminer, held at Knoxville, in the district of Hamilton, on the first and second days of August, by the Hon. JOSEPH ANDERSON, Esq. one of the judges in and for the territory, south of Ohio, by virtue of a commission from his Excellency Governor BLOUNT, for the special purpose issued, for the trial of a Creek Indian, suspected of being guilty of the murder of JOHN ISH.
A bill being found by the grand jury, the Creek Indian, ABOUGOHICO, of Poocaucaugee, (a punk knot) an Oakfusky, was brought before the court; and before he was charged on his indictment, he was informed by the interpreter, JAMES CAREY, that in consequence of a treaty made between the United States and the Creek nation at New-York, it was agreed, that, if any Creek Indian or Indians, should commit a murder upon any citizen of the United States, he or they should be given up, and tried according to the laws of the United States. He said he was well acquainted with the talk that was held at New-York, for it was well sung in their ears by their chiefs after their return to the nation;—but that the Upper Towns had thrown away that talk, and taken up the hatchet. The prisoner was then charged on his indictment, which being explained to him by the interpreter, he confessed the fact. But the court being willing to afford the prisoner the benefit of a trial by jury, (permitted him to withdraw his plea) and plead not guilty: Whereupon, a traverse jury was empanelled, and sworn in due form, the prisoner being first informed of his right to challenge. The prisoner having council assigned him, the Attorney General proceeded upon the trial, and the jury, upon the fullest testimony, brought into court a verdict, "guilty of the murder of JOHN ISH, as charged in the bill of indictment." Whereupon the prisoner being asked, what he had to offer why sentence of the law should not be pronounced upon him? He replied he had not any thing; that he came out with an intention of killing and stealing, or being killed; that he had killed the man for which he had been tried, and that it had been his misfortune to fall into the hands of the whites; but that he should have escaped them if it had not been for the Cherokees; and that if he was now put to death, there was plenty of his nation remaining to revenge his death. The judge then proceeded to pronounce sentence of death in the usual form.
In consequence of the above sentence, the Creek Indian, ABOUGOHICO, was executed this afternoon, at 4 o'clock.
BOSTON, September 3.
The District Court of South-Carolina district, has adjudged that the prizes brought in there by the American French privateers, are illegal. In consequence, the brig Vrow Christiana Magdelena, carried in there, has been restored, vessel and cargo.
We learn that Governor PATTERSON, of New-Jersey, has offered his service to the President of the United States, to command the troops destined to quell the Pittsburg insurgents.
Governor LEE, of Virginia, has given public thanks to the officers and soldiers of that State, for the alacrity they have used in executing his orders for the levy for the like purpose, General MORGAN is to command the Virginians.

MADRID, May 27.
The Duke of Vanguyon, formerly ambassador at the court of Spain, and who since the revolution remained at Madrid has received orders to leave the kingdom with his family. The same orders have been received by the Duke of Havre who was general agent of the French Princes.
The court of Madrid has given orders that all the men in Catalonia from 15 to 60 shall rise in arms to oppose the French who menace an invasion of Catalonia. The commander in chief Count de la Union, lost all his fortune and above 1200 marks of plate, which all fell into the hands of the French.
VIENNA, June 21.
The Russian and Prussian plan of operations against Poland will be submitted to the Emperor, and the declaration against Poland will then appear. La Fayette is to be removed from Spielburgh to Brunn.
HAGUE, July 1.
As Charleroi is now in the hands of the French, and as the baggage of Cobourg is sent to Brussels, it is more than probable that this city must be evacuated, unless the combined army can compel the French to retire. On the 28th Brussels was not in the possession of the French. It is reported that an express from London is arrived, which brings an account of England having declared war against a certain power; but this news wants confirmation.
The Combined Army, in order to give that battle which they thought necessary, for the purpose of relieving Charleroi, advanced in five columns, on the 25th of last month, and on the 26th at break of day attacked the French in their entrenchments in the neighborhood. From the short account of the prince of Cobourg of this affair, which is received and has been published here, it appears "that the said place, Charleroi, had been obliged already to surrender to the French, on account of their superior force, and that the combined forces had lost thereby about fifteen thousand men, but no artillery; that the French lost one howitzer and one standard; and the retreat of the combined army was made in the best order, as far as Morbais, where they had their night quarters on the 26th; and from whence they were to march the next morning for Nivelles in order to cover the country as much as possible, and to support Namur."
BRUGES, June 29.
On Thursday last, a party of French, consisting of between 4 and 500 men, entered this town by the gate of Menin. The following submission, printed in large characters, both in French and Dutch, was immediately posted up in different parts of the town.
Submission of the city of Bruges.
"The Burgomasters, Elders, and Council of the city of Bruges in Flanders, for and in the name of all the inhabitants of the said city, declare to have submitted, as they do submit by these presents, the city of Bruges, the works and its territory, to the armies and the sovereignty of the French Republic, without any previous condition or restriction whatever."
"Mean while, French generosity and loyalty are too generally known for the magistracy of Bruges not to flatter themselves with obtaining of the high and puissant Republic, the following terms and articles."
 "1. The maintenances of the individual safety of the inhabitants and their property."  "2. The full and entire liberty of the exercise of the religion to which every one is attached."  "3. That none of the inhabitants be troubled or marked out for his opinion, or his political conduct, anterior to his present submission."  "4. That those of the inhabitants whom the terror of the circumstances made quit their home, be allowed to return, without being considered as having emigrated, or any ways molested or made accountable on this subject." 
"Done in the camp before Bruges, June 25th, 1794, in the second year of the French Republic."

PARIS, June 20.
On the 12th, 116 of the long expected American fleet, arrived safe at Brest; the whole fleet consisted of near 200 sail, and is valued at 100 millions; the rest of the ships have arrived in the different ports of France.
They are hard at work at Brest—fitting out a fresh fleet, which is to be joined by the division at Concale Bay, and the three ships lately arrived from America.
Yesterday it was decreed, that every commander of a line of battle ship, who shall suffer his line to be broken, shall be punished with death.
June 21.
Barrere announced to the Convention the capture of a Sardinian frigate, of 36 guns, by the French frigate La Boucleuse, of equal force—who carried her prize into Port de la Montagne.
It is confirmed that the French Mediterranean squadron is at sea.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
1 Messidor—June 19.
Barrere, in the name of the committee of Public Safety.—"Yesterday I informed you of the capture of Ypres: I am now enabled to lay before you the following letters, containing more particular details, than I was yesterday able to present."
Letter from Richard, Representative of the People with the army of the North, to the Committee of Public Safety.
Head Quarters at Ypres, 30th Prairial, June 18.
I yesterday announced to you the capture of Ypres. The garrison, consisting of almost six thousand men, remained prisoners of war, and all the artillery and ammunition are delivered up to us. The place contains, as we believe, upwards of one hundred pieces of cannon. It is not necessary for to point out to you the importance of this acquisition: It is in a great measure due to the army of Observation, commanded by General Souham. The victory gained on the 25th, at Hooglest, determined the surrender—Generals Macdonald, Danveele, Jordan and Vintre, considerably contributed to those brilliant advantages, by their talents and their courage. The conduct of the soldiers of freedom, was worthy the cause which they defend: they force even their enemies to do them justice, by yielding to their superior valour.
(Signed)
RICHARD.
P. S. The Besieging army distinguished themselves by the most unwearied patience, and invincible courage: they carried on their works with the greatest ardour, and repulsed the enemy in the most vigorous manner, in all the sorties which they made. They were commanded by General Moreau, and by General Michaud, General of division, Defemans, Laurent and Vendamme, who all acquitted themselves with the greatest credit on their important functions.
Pichegru, Commander in chief of the army of the North, to the Committee of Public Safety.
Brielen, near Ypres 30 Prairial.
Ypres has capitulated after the most obstinate resistance. Your Colleague, Richard, has transmitted to you the details by which you will perceive that the garrison are prisoners of war, and that the place is delivered up to the Republic in the state in which it was the period of its surrender. All who were employed in the siege, strove who should distinguish themselves most. The fourth battalion of the North, impatient to see the effect expected to be produced by a battery of six 24 pounders, dragged the guns to the place intended, under a heavy shower of grape shot, for the space of 150 toises. The army of Observation, under the command of General Souham, frustrated the attempts which were repeatedly made by Gen. Clairfayt, to succour the place. During the short continuance of the siege, there were three battles; thrice victory remained on our side, and thrice the troops of the Republic performed prodigies of valour; particularly in the last action, which was the most warmly supported, because the troops of Clairfayt proportioned their exertions in, an additional allowance of pay, and of spirits, which were that day allowed to them. Health and Fraternity.

LONDON, July 1.
The black board at Lloyd's, yesterday contained the accounts of more than twenty ships of the different nations being carried in as prizes to Brest.
Resolutions have been entered into by several of the parishes of Dublin, "not to illuminate but for a peace."
A letter of which the following is a copy, has been this morning received from his royal highness the Duke of York.
SIR,
Renaix, June 28, 1794.
HAVING received intelligence on Tuesday night that the enemy had moved forward in great force upon General Clairfayt's position, and that they had detached a corps to Oudenarde, I found it absolutely necessary for the defence of the Scheldt, to march immediately to this place, as from hence, I could with greater facility, support that place, and move upon any point which they might attempt to force a passage.
The enemy obliged General Clairfayt to abandon his position at Deynse and fall back upon Ghent on Wednesday, where they again attacked him the next day, but were fortunately repulsed.
This retreat of Gen. Clairfayt rendered it impossible for Gen. Walmoden to support himself with so small a body of troops as he had under his command at Bruges. He found it necessary to abandon that place on Thursday, and to fall back to Landmack, and join General Clairfayt's right flank.
The consequences of these last movements though necessary are exceedingly unpleasant, as all immediate communication is cut off.
Yesterday the enemy made another attempt upon Oudenarde, which they cannonaded the whole day and even carried in the afternoon the Fauxbourg; but were driven out again in the night, and have now retreated to a small distance.
Yesterday evening I received the disagreeable intelligence of the Prince of Cobourg having failed in his attack upon the French army at Gosselies and Fleurus, as well as the surrender of Charleroi.
I am, &c.

July 4.
After the levee yesterday, Mr. Jay, the new commissioner from America, had an audience of the King, to deliver his credentials, to which he was introduced by Lord Grenville, Secretary of state for the Foreign Department—and conducted by Sir Clement Cutterell Dormer, Knight, master of the ceremonies in waiting.
Mr. Jay, at his interview with the Minister on Friday, declared himself commissioned by Congress with the most solemn assurances of amity towards this country; and that nothing but the most absolute necessity shall ever suspend that commercial intercourse, which it is the interest of each nation to cultivate. He requires indemnity for the injury the Americans have sustained by the capture and detention of their vessels; and some other objects, which it is the intention of our Cabinet to grant.
It is now confidently said, that for more than six weeks past, the Austrians, convinced of what must be the issue of the campaign, have been transporting their magazines and military stores from the Netherlands back to Germany. About a month ago, Barrere, in one of his reports from the Committee of Public Safety, said the campaign would close sooner than was expected. There are strong presumptions that the Emperor and the Committee of Public Safety understood one another; and we should not be surprised to hear that the Austrian garrisons in Conde, Valenciennes, Quesnoy, and Landrecies agree to evacuate these places, on condition of being allowed to march out with arms, artillery and baggage.
It is at present, extremely inconvenient for politicians, who wish to trace the marches and counter marches of our armies upon paper, that all the map makers, who last year exerted their skill "to facilitate the knowledge of the operations of the allied armies," taking it for granted that the seat of war must be in France, have, crowded with names of places all within the French frontier, and marked but very few without. Hence it happens that our troops must often retreat over inches of blank paper, before the most pains-taking Gazette readers can find out where they are.
BURLINGTON HOUSE.
In consequence of the late disagreeable intelligence from the Continent—his Majesty's Ministers have condescended to consult, and ask the advice as to the further prosecution of the war, of those whose
opinions they formerly treated with derision.
On Tuesday there was a large meeting at the Duke of Portland's house, composed of the confidential friends of the Minister, and the principal leaders of the opposition.—At this meeting, we understand, that the subject of the War was discussed, when many of the most distinguished Alarmists gave their vote for PEACE.
The result of the meeting was, we believe, through the interference of Mr. Jay, the American Envoy—to see how far the Convention are disposed to make peace with the present Ministry. Should they decline to treat with the leading men of the cabinet, the next subject for consideration will be, what arrangements shall take place to ensure the tranquillity of the country?
The persons to whom the Nation look up are—Mr. Fox, Mr. Sheridan, the Duke of Grafton, and the Marquis of Lansdowne. With the three former the Portland Party have no objection to act; but Ministers prefer a coalition with the Marquis, whose friends are less numerous, and from whose connections administration have no apprehension, as they are not sufficiently strong to prevent Mr. Pitt and his satellites coming again into power—should they conceive it necessary to resign, for the desirable end of procuring Peace to the Kingdom.
JULY 5.
The Marquis CORNWALLIS is on his return to England, and our readers will hear perhaps with surprise, the cause of his so speedily retracing his steps. The King of Prussia has officially signified to the Noble Marquis, that in consequence of the unforeseen burst of Jacobine principles in Poland, and that they infamously refuse to submit to the happy servitude so anxiously, kindly, and honourably provided for them, he finds it inconvenient to fulfill his treaty with the English Court. He acknowledges having received from Britain six hundred thousand pounds sterling in advance, and this sum, as it is inconvenient to him to repay at this time he will carry it to account; but he would be happy to see the Noble Marquis at Berlin, to explain to him how perfectly he enters, in sentiment, into the views of his cousin with regard to France, and how earnest he is to preserve the good understanding which so happily subsists between the two countries. Lord CORNWALLIS did not accept of the royal invitation, but returns forthwith, and his dispatch has just been in time to prevent a third installment of three hundred thousand pounds from sailing to Hamburg. The following letter was received yesterday morning by the master of Lloyd's Coffee-House.
"Margate, July 3, at half past 11 o'clock, P. M."
"Offend is now taken indeed! The Trial Cutter is just arrived, and the dispatches are forwarded from hence. The French marched in on Tuesday; our troops are all safely embarked, and are gone to Holland. Almost, if not all the shipping got out of the harbor; one large ship run on shore in coming out, to which they set fire; as the French had only one small boat to cross with, one of our frigates annoyed them very much in passing. They were not permitted to fire into the town, or they could have done much mischief to it."
DUBLIN, July 8.
The Empress of Russia has absolutely demanded 24,000 auxiliaries from the Emperor, according to treaty—Russia being attacked by the Poles.

NORFOLK, August 18.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Brest, to his brother in this town, dated the 23d of June, 1794.
"I shall not at this moment dwell on politics; I shall only tell you that a convoy from North-America is just arrived at Brest; I shall also inform you that the Dutch troops refuse to fight, and the Spaniards are distracted—I cannot perfectly acquaint you as to the last, but I can assure you that Catalonia is taken, and that we advance daily, but cannot tell you in what part of Spain our troops are. A great many foreign troops come to join us every day from every quarter, even whole regiments."
Arrived in Hampton road, the ship Pallas, Captain Dehon, in 8 days from Boston—Was brought to and boarded off the capes, by the English frigate Thistle, who the day before had captured the ship Martha, of Newburyport, Capt.

Thomas Thomas, cleared for and bound to Falmouth.—Capt. Dehon brought up two of Capt. Thomas's men, who informed him that the frigate was then waiting for a black brig, now loading in this port with wheat, when they intended to send her with the ship Martha to Halifax.
BRITISH INSULTS,
FOUNDED ON PLAIN FACTS;
On Monday last the ship Martha, Capt. Thomas Thomas, of Newbury-Port, failed from Hampton-roads, with flour, bound to Falmouth, loaded by and for account of a citizen of the United States. The British frigate Thistle lying in Hampton roads at the same time got under way followed the Martha, and in sight of our shores captured her, and sent her to Halifax: part of the Martha's crew has returned—To what a situation we are finally reduced—our ports are blockaded, and our vessels made prizes in sight of the sea coast, and yet we are at peace.—The government of the United States, has adopted a pacific system, we are then bound to commit no act of hostility—let us then unite and refuse them all kinds of supplies; for this purpose the citizens should meet and come into resolutions, and appoint committees to see those resolutions executed.—To these ends the citizens of Norfolk and Portsmouth and their vicinities are requested to meet at the County Court-House on Saturday next, at Eleven A. M. where propositions will be submitted to their consideration.
August 24.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, dated Sept. 1.
"I am sorry that the state of our coast, makes it dangerous to send property to sea; the British frigates are determined not to suffer any vessels loaded with flour, to proceed. The Martha, with a cargo of flour, from Norfolk, to Falmouth, (Mass.) failed out of the Capes of the Chesapeake, where lay an English frigate, which followed her out, made a prize of her, and sent her to Halifax. These frigates receive information from people in the different ports, and from pilots; and they take every vessel they so get advice of, without further ceremony. As this is the case, I do not think it prudent to ship any more, till I can do it with more safety."
[This may serve as a caution to those who are sending their vessels to the southward for freight.]
PHILADELPHIA, August 29.
We are authorised to inform the public, that on Thursday the 20th inst. the commissioners appointed by the Governor to endeavour to restore tranquillity and order in the Western Counties, conferred with the Committee appointed by the Convention at Parkers's Ferry; and that there is a fair prospect of an honourable and amicable accommodation. We are happy to add, that the views of the Commissioners appointed by the President, being of the same conciliatory nature, the utmost harmony subsists between them and the State Commissioners.
BOSTON, September 8.
On the 11th June the National Convention of France decreed, that they would make every possible effort to re-take the French Colonies.
From Philadelphia, Sept. 1.
An express arrived at the War Office on Saturday last from Genesee Country (within the state of New-York) with dispatches from the Executive of the United States, which were immediately laid before the President. Several private letters, received by the same conveyance, advise that a preremptory order had been issued by Col. SIMCOE, the Governor of upper Canada, requiring an immediate removal of the inhabitants who have been for some time settled on a tract of land in that country, within the bounds of the United States—agreeably to the treaty of peace.—They likewise inform, that Captain Williamson, and the other citizens of the United States, who are principally concerned in the settlement of those lands, were determined to resist the said order, and were preparing to oppose any force that may be sent to deprive them of their lawful rights and property.
It is said that an express had arrived to Governor Clinton on the above subject.
A letter from Halifax, dated Aug. 23d.
"I am sorry to inform you, that Capt. Thomas Lewis, of the Eliza of Boston, is under close confinement on board the Africa, 64, for rising and taking his ship, after being captured by an English frigate. The ship has not yet arrived, and
it is feared she is lost. The Eliza is owned by Messrs. Putnam, Swan, and Scott of Charlestown.—cargo by Mr. Taylor of Baltimore.
"The Pigou remains in the same situation she did before. The cargo is condemned, and the ship undecided upon."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of veracity, in Windham, (Connecticut) dated September 1st.
"There will be no commencement this year—college has broke up.—The same fever that desolated Philadelphia last year, has broken out in New-Haven, and is rapidly spreading through the town—the inhabitants flying—several families are coming to this place."
Extract of a letter from one of the English islands, in the West-Indies, dated the 18th July last.
"Every molestation to the American commerce with these islands, is effectually done away; and every possible protection is given to American vessels, by the men of war, and the Revenue officers. They are allowed to import flour of all kinds, bread, rice, corn, live stock, and lumber of every kind; but no kind of salt provisions, or fish. But when a vessel arrives, and part of her cargo consists of these articles, it is allowed to be entered for exportation in the same vessel; and to be landed for that purpose, without any additional expence, or difficulty. This is a general rule throughout the English islands."—If recurrence is had to the date of this new regulation, it will be seen, that it was not "negotiated in Flanders."

From Halifax, August 20.
A gentleman arrived in this town, on Sunday morning last, in eleven days from Halifax, gives the following account—that the packet arrived the day before his sailing, from England to Halifax—that a sloop of war was ordered to take the dispatches to Philadelphia.
All those vessels taken under convoy of the Concorde, remain at Halifax—cargoes not discharged—both vessels and cargoes were libelled, and the general opinion was, that both would be condemned.
Nothing has been done respecting the Pigou and cargo, since Capt. Lewis left Halifax. Admiral Murray arrived a few days before, brought in a Bark, an American vessel; the Admiral observed the expected war would take place with America very soon.—A small vessel had arrived at Halifax from Bermuda, says vessels were daily brought in there, belonging to the United States and condemned—observed also, that that Island in particular had orders to condemn all American vessels, bound to or from a French port.
The day before this gentleman left Halifax, an American schooner arrived, a prize to the frigate Blanche, loaded with produce of the West-India islands, bound to New-York.
Marblehead, Sept. 2, 1794.
Messrs. PRINTERS.
HAVING read in Tuesday's paper the account called "REAL GLORIOUS NEWS," I take the liberty to contradict the whole of it.—The boat arrived from Halifax here, was sent by me to hear if any thing was done with the ship Pigou and cargo in my absence, while I was waiting for my owners to come here from George-town, she has since returned and bro't Capt. Cox, and the Steward of the Pigou. Said Cox was sent by me to take charge of the Pigou in my absence; he has brought a letter from my advocate to me on the subject of the Pigou and cargo; all that has transpired since I left Halifax is merely what I knew was to take place, the cargo taken out and appraised, an appeal entered and allowed, the sentence not yet finished on the ship—in short every thing remained as I left it; the same disposition appeared to hold the property and to condemn the ship, which was the only thing remained undone on the part of the captors; and if the will of the people of Halifax, captors, &c. has any weight, she may be let down condemned; as for my own part I have observed every thing goes with the tide, there, whatever the general conversation was, I found come to pass, and the general conversation was, the will of the captors.—The vessels taken under convoy of the Concorde were libelled, the trial not yet come on, the seamen belonging to them were put on board the guard ship except those seduced to enter into their service; all was now on two thirds allowance—the general report was, the vessels would be condemned, because the cargo
would not pay the freights; so the best speculation is, to take all; but nothing was discharged when Capt. Cox left there—He says Admiral Murray arrived and brings the latest instructions from his Majesty for himself and squadron, he says the probability is great, of a war between Great Britain, and America. An American schooner arrived there a prize to the Blanche frigate, from the West-Indies bound to New-York; a packet arrived from England the day before Capt. Cox came away, nothing was known of the mail, except a report that Mr. Jay was well received, and that restitution would be made.
J. LEWIS, late master of the ship Pigou.
From NEW-YORK, August 26. The Blanche, a British frigate, has captured the following American vessels on our coast, and sent them to Halifax, viz.
Brig Prudence of Chatham in Connecticut, Nathaniel Doane, master, from Martinique, bound to New-York.
Ship Portland of New-York, Tho's. Robinson, master, from Cape Nicholas Mole, bound to New-York.
Brig——, of Philadelphia,—— Stoaks, master, from Philadelphia, bound out.
Brig——, of Philadelphia,—— Basset, master; and another brig, commanded by Coffin, where owned we could not learn.
S A L E M, September 2.
People from the West-Indies say, that the conduct of Admiral Jervis has rendered him equally an object of abhorrence there as with us. We would not wish to defame even an enemy; but the English themselves confidently relate the following anecdote of him:—That the little island of Descada, which had surrendered to the British arms, on the arrival of the French armament hoisted again the national colours; after which, a British sloop of war arrived there, which they beat off: this being reported to Admiral Jervis, he ordered verbally, Capt. Ross, of the Resource frigate, to proceed to that island, and cause every man to be slain, every woman to be ravished, and every male child to be brought to him to be made imperfect. How far he intended these savage, brutal orders (which were probably given in his cups) should be executed, is uncertain; but it is a sorrowful truth, that they were too strictly adhered to: for when the frigate arrived at the island, the inhabitants sent a deputation of 13 men to make their submission; they were taken on board, 8 of them blindfolded and shot upon the forecastle, the rest hanged at the yard-arm, and a general slaughter followed in the island.
Capt MURPHY, from Petersburg on the 20th July, off Fair Island, fell in with a French squadron bound on a cruise into the North Sea, consisting of five frigates and two sloops of war. One of them boarded Capt. MURPHY, but did not detain him ten minutes. They informed him, that Ostend and Bruges were taken by the French, the latter part of June, without firing a gun; and that neither place was destroyed, as has been reported of the latter.—This squadron will probably make a great cruise, as there was no British ship of force in the Baltic, and Capt. MURPHY left 100 sail of Englishmen at Petersburg, many of them about sailing—besides what were at other ports in the Baltic. Capt. MURPHY sailed from Elsinore with a large English fleet, having only one frigate for a convoy, the whole of which must have fallen into the power of this squadron, had the latter been a few days earlier. The fleet, however, are supposed to have all safe arrived.

From the Eagle. From the Shop of Messrs. Colon and Spondee. ANACREONTIC TO FLIP. STINGO! to thy bar-room skip, Make a foaming mug of Flip; Make it of our country's staple, Rum New-England, Sugar maple, Beer, that's brewed from hops and Pumpkin, Grateful to the thirsty Bumkin. Hark! I hear thy poker fizzle, And o'er the mug the liquor drizzle; All against the earthen mug, I hear the horn-spoon's cheerful dub; I see thee, STINGO, taste the Flip, And sling thy cud from under lip, Then pour more rum, and, bottle stopping, Stir it again, and swear 'tis topping. Come quickly bring the humming liquor, Richer than ale of British vicar; Better than usquebaugh Hibernian, Or than Flaccus' famed Falernian; More potent, healthy, racy, frisky, Than Holland's gin, or Southern whisky, Come, make a ring around the fire, And hand the mug unto the Squire; Here, Deacon, take the elbow chair, And Ensign, Holiday, sit there: You take the dye-tub, you the churn, And I'll the double corner turn. See the mantling liquor rise! And burn their cheeks, and close their eyes, See the fiddling mug incline— Hear them curse their dull divine, Who, on Sunday, dared to rail, At Brewster's flip, or Downer's ale. —Quick, Stingo, fly and bring another, The Deacon here shall pay for 'other, Ensign and I the third will share, It's due on swop, for pie-bald mare.

To enlighten and to expand the mind of man, by the diffusion of knowledge is one of the first wishes of a Republic; because on that per- haps, depends the security of their freedom. If we look to the States of Greece, of Sparta, of Athens, or of Rome, we see Prætors, Dic- tators, Decemvirs, or Consuls, assume the sceptre of the State, and giddy with power, degenerate to tyrants—leading the people to be sacrificed at the altars erected to the most cruel rapacity. We need not be surprised to see them at one time the envy of the world, and at another time levelled in oblivion, if we seek for the cause: While the mass were emerged in effeminate luxury, and blinded with bar- barous ignorance, it is easy to conceive the power of the designing and the factious,—it is easy to conceive that what was acquired by the force of arms, could not be supported by cabal, intrigue, or usurpation; nor would any thing less than incorruptible rulers, virtue in the subjects, and a general publicity of the affairs of the body politic, prevent their fall. An acquaintance with the secret springs of gov- ernment must create confidence, and confi- dence, when it does not sink into supineness, tends to the tranquility of the State; there- fore a publication which may facilitate that purpose, will readily receive the sanction and the patronage of an American Public.—Impres- sed with these sentiments, the Citizens of New- Hampshire are presented by
