PUBLIC notice is hereby given that a petition has been preferred to the General-Court by Eleazer Davis and others, Inhabitants of New-Durham Gore, representing that they labour under many inconveniencies for want of an incorporation; wherefore they pray that a certain tract of land now called New-Durham Gore may be erected and incorporated into a body politic, and corporate, with all the rights, privileges, &c. which other towns in this State hold and enjoy.
Upon which petition the General-Court ordered an hearing thereon before them, on the third Wednesday of the next session, and that they cause that the substance of said petition and order of Court thereon, be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.

Federal Legislature.
ANSWER,
Of the House of Representatives to the President's Address.
SIR,
THE House of Representatives, calling to mind the blessings of the People of the United States, and especially the happiness of living under constitutions and laws, which rest on, their authority alone, could not learn, with other emotions than those you have expressed, that any part of our fellow-citizens should have shown themselves capable of an insurrection; and we learn, with the greatest concern, that any misrepresentations, whatever, of the government and its proceedings, either by individuals, or combinations of men, should have been made, and so far credited, as to foment the flagrant outrage, which has been committed on the laws.
We feel, with you, the deepest regret, at so painful an occurrence in the annals of our country. As men, regardful of the tender interests of humanity, we look with grief at scenes which have stained our land with civil blood. As lovers of public order, we lament that it has suffered so flagrant a violation: As zealous friends of a Republican government, we deplore every occasion which in the hands of its enemies, may be turned into a calumny against it.
This aspect of the crisis, however, is happily not the only one which it presents. There is another which yields all the consolations which you have drawn from it. It has demonstrated to the candid world, as well as to the American people themselves, that the great body of them, every where, are equally attached to the luminous and vital principle of our constitution, which enjoins, that the will of the majority shall prevail; that they understand the indissoluble union between true liberty and regular government: That they feel their duties, no less than they are watchful over their rights: That they will be as ready at all times to crush licentiousness, as they have been to defeat usurpation. In a word, that they are capable of carrying into execution that noble plan of self-government which they have chosen as the guarantee of their own happiness, and the asylum for that of all from every clime, who may wish to unite their destiny with ours.
These are the just inferences flowing from the promptitude with which the fums to the standard of the laws has been obeyed; and from the sentiments which have been witnessed in every description of citizens, in every quarter of the Union.

The spectacle, therefore, when viewed in its true light, may well be affirmed to display in equal lustre the virtues of the American character, and the value of Republican government. All must particularly acknowledge and applaud the patriotism of that portion of citizens, who have freely sacrificed every thing, less dear than the love of their country, to the meritorious task of defending its happiness.
In the part which you yourself have born through this delicate and distressing period, we trace the additional proofs it has afforded of your solicitude for the public good. Your laudable and successful endeavours to render lenity in executing the laws conducive to their real energy, and to convert tumult into order, without the effusion of blood, from a particular title to the confidence and praise of your constituents. In all that may be found necessary, on our part, to complete this benevolent purpose, and to secure the ministers and friends of the laws against the remains of danger, our due co-operation will be offered.
The other subjects which you have recommended, or communicated, and of which several are particularly interesting, will all receive the attention which they demand. We are deeply impressed with the importance of an effectual organization of the Militia.
We rejoice at the intelligence of the advance and success of the army under the command of General Wayne;—whether we regard it as a proof of the perseverance, prowess and superiority of our troops, or as a happy prelude to our military operations against the hostile Indians, as a probable prelude to the establishment of a lasting peace, upon terms of candour, equity and good neighbourhood—we receive it with the greater pleasure, as it encreases the probability of sooner restoring a part of the public resources to the desirable object of reducing the public debt.
We shall on this as on all occasions, be disposed to adopt any measure which may advance the safety and prosperity of our country.
In nothing can we more cordially unite with you than imploring the Supreme Ruler of Nations to multiply his blessings on the United States—to guard our free and happy Constitution against every machination and danger—and to make it the best source of public happiness, by verifying its character of being the best safeguard of human rights.
To which the President answered;
Gentlemen,
I anticipated with confidence, the concurrence of the House of Representatives, in the regret produced by the insurrection. Every effort ought to be used to discountenance what has contributed to foment it, and thus discourage a repetition of like attempts. For, notwithstanding the consolations which may be drawn from the issue of this event, it is far better that the artrial approaches on such situation of things should be checked by the vigilant and duly admonished patriotism of our fellow-citizens, than the evil should encrease until it become necessary to crush it by the strength of their arm.
I am happy that the part which I have myself borne on this occasion, receive the approbation of your house. For the discharge of a constitutional duty, it is a sufficient reward to me to be assured that you will unite in consummating what remains to be done.
I feel also great satisfaction in learning that the other subjects which I have communicated, or recommended, will meet with due attention; that you are deeply impressed with the importance of an effectual organization of the army under the command of Gen. Wayne, is regarded by you, no less than myself, as a proof of the perseverance, prowess and superiority of our troops.
Go. Washington.
House of Representatives, December 1.
On motion of Mr. Moore, the subject of a petition respecting a more extensive promulgation of the laws by having them translated into the German language was taken into consideration—after a few remarks on the importance of this business, Mr. Moore moved, that a committee be appointed to report what measures may be proper to promote a further promulgation of the laws.
Mr. Baldwin urged the importance of taking the most effectual measures to disseminate as extensively as possible, a competent knowledge of the laws and proceedings of the Government, in order to
enable the people to judge for themselves, and to guard them against the operation of the groundless fears and jealousies which are excited by the discontented, factious, and ambitious—more particularly at the present crisis; and in order to guard against a repetition of the evils already experienced from this source. He saw no other way to prevent these mischiefs but that of surrounding as it were their whole proceedings with a blaze of light. He recited a variety of misrepresentations and falsehoods which had been circulated with the greatest industry in the less informed parts of the country. The carriage act had been represented as extending to every description of wheel carriages, even to spinning wheels—these people have been told, and they seriously believed it, that an excise had been laid on wheat and other articles never contemplated in the law, and that the 80,000 men which had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness, were a draft to be sent to France, for which the United States were to receive a large subsidy—and many other equally futile and ridiculous tales had been circulated too insignificant to mention in the House, but which have distracted the people, and rendered them unhappy; from all which Mr. Baldwin strongly inferred the necessity of something further and more effectual being done, (even if the expence should amount to 50,000 dollars per annum) to scatter the means of information among the people. To shew them that their government was good, and that its errors, if any were such as proceed from the imperfection of human nature.
Mr. Moore's motion, with the petition on which it was founded, were referred to a select committee.
A report was read from the committee to whom that part of the President's speech was referred relative to trading houses for the accommodation of the Indian Tribes—This report coincides with the sentiment contained in the speech, and proposes a resolve for a law to pass appropriating one hundred thousand dollars for the purpose.
A petition was likewise presented by Mr. Preston, praying for a translation of the laws into the German language; this was referred to the committee on Mr. Moore's motion.
In Committee of the Whole, Mr. Cobb in the chair, on the bill to regulate the pay of the non-commissioned officers and privates of the militia when called into actual service of the United States.
This bill proposes that the pay shall commence from the time of enrolment. A motion that it should be altered to read, "from the time of their appearing at the rendezvous of the Regiment or Brigade," occasioned some debate—the motion was finally agreed to—the Committee then rose and reported progress, and the House adjourned.
DECEMBER 2.
A letter was this day read in the House, addressed to the Speaker, from ALEXANDER HAMILTON, Esquire, Secretary to the Treasury of the United States. This letter states that Mr. HAMILTON intends to resign his office on the last day of January next. He gave this previous notice that an opportunity might be afforded previous to his resignation, to proceed in any further measures which might be projected, in consequence of the inquiry during the last session, in the state of that department.
ENGLISH ACCOUNTS.
LONDON, October 7.
THE accounts from the continent afford little reason to believe that Holland can be protected. Both the Austrian and British armies are obliged to retreat, and leave the United Provinces to their own defence. In the meantime the French are advancing, and meet with little opposition from the fortresses garrisoned by Dutch troops. It was yesterday reported that they had advanced to and taken possession of Utrecht, between which and Amsterdam there is nothing to oppose them.
Gen. Clairfayt's head-quarters were by the last accounts at Juliers, but there is too much reason to fear that this general and his army will also find it expedient to cross the Rhine, leaving the lower part of Germany, as well as Holland, exposed to the enemy.
Great consternation prevails in Holland; and we are sorry to add that a spirit of disaffection to their present government seems too prevalent among the Dutch.
Letters from Dusseldorf say, that from the 15th to the 23d of September, Gen.
Clairfayt's army, lost more than eleven thousand men, in killed and wounded, besides a great number taken prisoners; above one hundred pieces of cannon, and all the ammunition and baggage of the left wing. On the 24th the French were continuing to pursue and attack the Austrians wherever they could overtake them, with the evident intention of driving across the Rhine all whom they could not destroy or take prisoners.
It is said that preparations are making for the departure of the Stadtholder of the United Provinces for this country, and that part of his effects have already been sent off.
The Stadtholder has gone in person to the Bommel to take the necessary measures for preventing the enemy from crossing the Maese.
OCTOBER 9.
The Dutch mail due on Monday, not being arrived when this paper was put to press, makes it impossible to determine any thing respecting different rumours that have circulated, of riots in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the neighborhood; of the Stadtholder and his family being busily employed in making preparations to come to England, his enemies being so numerous and becoming so powerful, as to threaten the entire overthrow of the present Dutch government; of Utrecht being taken by the French; and many other reports, partly originating in the views and wishes of those who give them currency.
Sunday evening Mr. Scott (a third messenger in the course of 24 hours) arrived at Mr. Dundas' office, with dispatches from his Royal Highness the Duke of York. He left the army on Thursday last. As he came off at an hour's notice, he brought only private dispatches for government; but we understand that his Royal Highness has made a movement to join Gen. Clairfayt, with the intention of raising the siege of Maastricht.
Yesterday several persons of distinction arrived in town from Holland.—Great numbers of persons were on the eve of embarking for this country as an asylum.
General Clairfayt is now at Cologne, against which the enemy are said to be advancing in great force, on the near approach of whom it is thought he will pass the Rhine; not judging it prudent to risk another engagement in the present reduced state of his army, with such an immense superiority of force as is opposed to him.
Letters from the Lower Elbe mention, that a negotiation for peace is actually on the tapis, between the king of Prussia and the Poles, and the other powers with whom that Monarch is at war.
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, dated Sept. 30.
"This day we received the very unpleasing intelligence that the garrison of Crevecoeur had capitulated on the same terms that were granted to the garrison of Valenciennes. The garrison of Bommel, according to letters from Leerdam has orders to evacuate that place, and to pass the Waal, to cover the province of Utrecht.—Fort Isabella and the other forts near Boisleduc being taken, it is not expected that that place will be able to hold out long. Our alarms increase as the enemy advance; every moment we may now expect the greatest disasters both from the approach of the enemy and from internal dissensions."
NORFOLK, Nov. 22.
On Thursday last arrived in Hampton Roads, after a passage of 46 days from Brest, the following vessels, armed en flute: Le Coche, Capt. Joseph Deane, commodore of the squadron.
L'Eclatant, Capt. C. F. Druno. La Ville de L'Orient, Capt. Joseph Morice.
The verbal information we have been able to obtain is that a fleet of 8 sail of the line, and 5 frigates, with 5000 troops on board, failed from Brest about three weeks before them, on a secret expedition (supposed to the West Indies)—that there were 36 sail of the line, besides frigates at Brest, ready for sea and that they were continuing their successes by land.
They spoke on the 8th November the ship Atlantic of Baltimore, out 28 days from Rotterdam, bound to Baltimore, who informed them that Breda and Boisleduc were taken by the French.
It is expected that a strong fleet will be sent to cruise on this coast.
Nov. 15—19.
Extract of a letter from Bermuda, to a gentleman in this town, dated 19th Oct. 1794.
"The Bermudians are in great consternation, on receiving the dreadful accounts (by a brig which arrived from
London yesterday) informing them that they would be obliged to make good the damages the Americans have sustained by them. A number of appeals have come out against those concerned in privateering, amounting to a considerable sum—many of them are determined to sell their country, and to seek for refuge under some neutral government (America excepted.)"
"The Bermudians were never in such a predicament as at present—they were condemning American vessels fast before the news arrived, but now they have made a full stop. They don't know what to employ themselves about, there are such a number of French privateers among the West-India islands, that they are afraid to send their vessels there; they are equally afraid of going to America, being conscious of their improper conduct towards many of its citizens."
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.
Extract of a letter dated Norfolk, Nov. 23.
"By the French fleet just arrived here, it appears, that the French army had penetrated a considerable way into Spain, and were not far from Madrid—that by their forces and the assistance of a revolution, they expect to be soon masters of that city."
NEW-YORK, Dec. 9.
The following is taken from the GUS-TOM HOUSE BOOKS last evening.
"Captain Silliman two days ago, spoke a schooner 18 days from Barbadoes, bound to Virginia—The Captain informed him, that a fleet of men of war and transports had arrived there from England—four of the men of war, 74's, had come into the harbor the night he sailed, and the rest were off."
BOSTON, Dec. 10.
IMPORTANT.
Capt. SWAINE, in the ship Hope, arrived at Biddeford, on Monday last, in 40 days from London, brings accounts of the INTIRE CAPTURE OF HOLLAND by the French. Our informant saw a London paper on board, containing the account; but could not obtain the consent of the Captain to bring it with him.
DECEMBER 11.
London accounts to October 9, say that 6 per cents had fallen from 72 to 64.—And that thirteen rich East-Indiamen have been taken and carried into Brest, and five were sunk.
It is said Mr. Jay has completed his business in England, and is to pass the winter in France. If so, there is good reason to believe his personal influence at least is to be exerted in bringing about an accommodation. The combined powers will make peace if possible; and, by some papers the Editor has in his possession, he is happy to find a more pacific disposition in the French Convention.
[Minerva.]
From the General Advertiser, Dec. 3.
AUTHENTIC.
We some time since announced, that the French had re-taken Bellegarde, the only place belonging to the French Republic then in possession of their enemies. From a Paris Paper we were favored with last evening received, by the late arrival at New-York from Havre, we are enabled to give the following official account of its surrender.
OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
From the general in chief of the army of the Eastern Pyrenees to the commander of Bellegarde.
Head-Quarters, the 2d Sans culotide. "I can admit none of thy conditions. The garrison must surrender at discretion, and will await its fate from French generosity."
DUGOMIER."
Answer of the Spanish commander.
"To thy reply I answer, that I agree to thy proposals and offers."
Marquis of VALLESENTORE.
There was a report in circulation yesterday, that another action had taken place between the French and the Allies, under Gen. Clairfayt, in which the latter was totally defeated, and his army cut to pieces—this it is said, was effected by Gen. Jourdan, who had been joined by the army under Pichegru. It is now said that the Duke of York had joined Clairfayt, with a large body of troops, after cutting his way thro' a part of the French army—this last account is said to be brought by a gentleman arrived at Baltimore, who left London the 11th of October.

PARIS, Sept. 30.
The new revolutionary committees of Paris, which are reduced in number to twelve, viz. one committee for every four sections, are just organized, and have entered on the functions of their appointment.
Ninety-four people of Nantz accused of conspiring, in various ways against the liberty of the people, and who were brought to Paris under the reign of Robespierre, after a trial of seven days, were acquitted, to the great joy of a concourse of citizens who attended the trial.
LONDON, Oct. 1.
The dispatches received on Monday from William Gardner, Esq. the British Ambassador at Warsaw, confirm the retreat of the king of Prussia. It is also said, that his majesty has left all the heavy artillery which he had collected for the siege of that capital.
Kosciusko has animated the Poles to such a degree of enthusiasm, and his army has been so amply supplied with every article necessary for the continuance of hostile operations, that the united armies of Russia and Prussia would be unable to overthrow those brave men; who are determined either to die, or to rescue their country from foreign bondage.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 22.
Major-General Morgan, who is appointed to command the troops left in this country, has established his head-quarters at Bently's farm, on the Monongahela, where they have erected a fortification.
On Tuesday last Judge Peters and Mr. Rawle the attorney for the United States, for this district, closed the examinations of the persons apprehended in this country, said to have been active in the late insurrection—some were discharged, others held to bail, and the following persons sent under guard, to Philadelphia for trial,
  John Hamilton,  Robert Porter,    John Lockhart,  Caleb Mountz,    M. Curtis,  John Black,    Thomas Burney,  James Kerr,    John Corbley,  David Bolton,    Wm. Crawford,  Isaac Walker,    John Barrett,  T. Sedgwick, Esq.    James Stewart,  Joseph Scott.  
We sincerely lament that a few designing persons should have had such an influence in this country as to draw into their diabolical schemes, men who have heretofore been estimated good and peaceable citizens. These persons who signed the circular letter to the different commanders of regiments to assemble their men at Braddock's field, and who concerted and had executed the plan for robbing the mail, will, if not in this world, in that which is to come, have to answer for all the distress and misery which have befallen this country.
We hear that the party of men, that went in pursuit of David Bradford, came up with him near Limestone, but could not take him—he had a guard of sixteen men, and the party consisted of but eight.
BOSTON, Monday, Dec. 15.
THE SHIP GENERAL LINCOLN,
Capt. Joy, arrived here yesterday afternoon, in a passage of 63 days from London. By her papers are received to the 12th of October, three days later, than the last arrival, at the southward; but, containing no material intelligence. Some articles, however, of entertainment and confirmation, are extracted from them, to amuse our patrons, by filing up the outlines, and re-touching the trails of an old picture, when it is not in our power to surprise them by the glaring colors of a new one.
A GRAND INUNDATION
has already been agitated by the States general, and some of the towns, of the Province of Holland have already declared their willingness to accede to it. Other towns, however, have positively refused, declaring, that the conquest of the Province by the French could not be productive of such an injury as the inundation, which would ruin the country for many years. Some of the towns were deliberating on this important measure, when the last letters were dispatched from Helvoetsluys.
GENERAL CLAIRFAYT,
though one of the bravest and most experienced generals of the present age, has been defeated nine times almost successively, since the commencement of the present campaign.
THE FRENCH GENERAL HOOKE,
who fought so desperately on the Rhine last winter, has been liberated from his confinement at Paris, and is appointed to command the army on the coast of Cherbourg.
THE KING OF SPAIN
has lately issued an edict, in which it is said, that, as circumstances require an augmentation of the maritime forces, his majesty invites all his subjects to enrol themselves for the sea-service during the present war; they are promised several advantages and small privileges, mentioned in the edict. The national militia is also to be called out. Twelve of the principal officers, concerned in the surrender of Callao, are sentenced to serve, as private soldiers in some of the African garrisons for two years; if not content, with this award, they may appeal to a court-martial. Nine days public prayers for the success of the war are ordered in all the churches in Spain. The fleet in the Mediterranean, under Don Dangars, had 20,000 land forces on board.
LETTERS FROM STOCKHOLM,
of the 19th Sept. state, that the news of the concessions made by the English ministers, has excited the most lively joy there. The British cabinet will indemnify Sweden for all the captured ships, and her trade to France is now allowed to be as open, as that with any other nation.
THE GOVERNMENT OF GENEVA
has orders to make reprisals against the Dutch, who have ordered all the Genevese property to be sequestered, and no debts to be paid to the Genevese merchants and bankers.
A LETTER FROM HISPANIOLA,
dated the 29th of June, says, "a dreadful mortality prevails there; the black carts are constantly employed. The streets exhibit a scene, equally distressing, with that of Philadelphia during the sickness."
THE NUMBER
of persons, who have subscribed themselves members of the different corresponding societies, in England, associated for the purpose of obtaining a reform in parliament, amounts to upwards of 30,000.
THE COMMITTEE OF PUBLIC SAFETY, at Paris, is now employed in the means of affording the required supplies of troops to the armies of generals Jourdan and Pichegru, to enable them effectually to execute their future plans of conquest. The last letters from thence, of the 1st October, state, that reinforcements had already been sent to those officers, which would increase their armies to very nearly 300,000 men.
THE REPORTS,
respecting the French taking Amsterdam, are probably premature; but that they may take it, is expectable. The people of Amsterdam, a great part of them at least, are dissatisfied with the present government. They wish to get rid of the Stadholder, at almost any hazard. On the approach of the French, this dissatisfaction will manifest itself, in proportion to the prospect of support.
The principal security of Amsterdam, is inundation; and this is so serious a calamity, that the people will not consent to resort to that expedient; for if salt-water lies any time on a soil, it wholly absorbs or destroys the principle of vegetation. A new soil would be necessary to repair the loss, and this must be the labor of years. This therefore will be considered by the Dutch, as a greater evil, than French contributions.
The capture of Amsterdam is an event, that must excite no small speculation in the commercial world. That city has been long time the banking-house for all Europe, and a failure of credit there, and stoppage of payment of the immense numbers of bills, that are always payable in that city, must materially affect merchants in all parts of the world.
The entry of the French into that city might occasion, not only a revolution in the government, but the failure of the bank, and, what perhaps would produce more extensive distress, stop the circulation of the small current coin of the city, which is adulterated, but which serves as the currency of the city among the poor.
If the credit of the bank is fictitious; that is, if the coin and bullion, deposited or said to have been deposited there, are in fact not there, an invasion and capture will disclose the secret, and all the bank receipts or receipts, in which foreign bills are always paid, must sink in value to nothing; and perhaps more families depend solely on these evidences of wealth, than on the credit of any similar institution. Nothing, but a national bankruptcy in England, could produce so much misery.
This is a possible event. The bank of Amsterdam is not a bank of deposit. Coin and bullion have doubtless been lodged there to an immense amount; but these cannot be re-drawn from the bank after the lapse of six months, from the time of deposit. After that time, the owner is entitled only to his receipt, a receipt of the bank for the amount of the deposit in good money. Whether the gold and silver, deposited there, are there still, or whether regency have not drawn it out, for public exigencies, is a secret which the holders of receipts, are not able to investigate. The fall of the agio of the bank, the difference between the bank-credits and the common coin, which is usually 5 per cent, is a proof that the merchants are alarmed, that they are exchanging bank receipts for current coin, for the purpose of transferring their property to other countries or of some other event, that bodes ill to the bank.
The annihilation of the current coin would be a calamitous event for the poor. [Minerva.]
SUMMARY.
Since our last no confirmation of the capture of Holland, by the French, has come to the knowledge of the Editors. On the other hand, we are happy to say, that no contradiction of this important occurrence, so favorable to the American commerce, has been received; so that it stands upon the same ground, as to its authenticity, as when related on Thursday.
An arrival however, at Philadelphia, from Bourdeaux, brings a report which was very prevalent, and much credited in that city when the vessel failed, (about the 17th Octo.) that Rotterdam and Helvoetsluys, are both taken by the French. If this is a fact, may we not safely pronounce the "entire capture of Holland"—there being no opposition that could stand before the invincible and victorious arms of our Republican Allies the Sans Culottes of France.
Upon the whole, an affair of such vast magnitude to the commercial world, cannot long be kept from the American public. We anticipate the pleasure of giving the official accounts of this important victory, even from London
papers—And from present appearances we should not be disappointed if we realized that pleasure by our next publication. Chronicle.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
WEST-INDIA NEWS.
—IMPORTANT—
PORTLAND, Dec. 8.
Capt. Perkins who arrived at Pepperrelborough from Martinico, on Friday last, informs—That a French naval force of several ships of the line and frigates had arrived in the West-Indies, and captured the windward islands, and were about proceeding to leeward.
BALTIMORE, DEC. 2.
By a gentleman just arrived from Jaquemel, we are informed that previous to his entering the harbor, he discovered nine sail of American vessels, all running down the island. He was spoke with by the Captain of one of them, who informed him that the night preceding he was boarded and robbed by some Spaniards who were cruising in a small boat with two guns; and that all the vessels then in sight experienced the same piratical treatment. The Schooner Peggy, Captain Brien, of Baltimore, was robbed of four thousand dollars. The same gentleman observes that Americans cannot, with safety, venture on the south side of Hispaniola, without arms to protect them.
PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 5.
Captain Robertson of the ship Margaret, 49 days from Lisbon—Oct. 28th, in lat. 40, 30, long. 36, 0, fell in with a French squadron of four frigates, and four sloops of war, on a cruise; at the same time he was boarded, by one of the frigates—their destination unknown. On the 14th ult. in lat. 39, long. 54, he spoke the ship Pacific, Captain Kennedy, from Charleston, bound to Amsterdam, out 24 days, in a very leaky condition. The 12th, in lat. 36, 10, spoke a brig from Providence, bound to Surinam, out 5 days.
Capt. Mitchell of the brig George, 40 days from Jamaica, informs, that the brig Rebecca, Hughes, of Philadelphia, was discharging her cargo there; previous to his sailing, seven British prizes were taken by a French privateer, off the east end of Jamaica, among which a Schooner belonging to Kingston—a British 74, a 54, a 44, and a frigate lay at Kingston, when he left that port.
Capt. Prew, of the ship Canada, 75 days from Brest, informs, that about 14 days before he failed, 6 or 7 sail of the line, full of troops, had sailed from thence on a secret expedition—on the 14th of Oct. he spoke the French frigate Thames, off Cape Finisterre, on a cruise.
Capt. Hughes, of the brig Houlbrook, 46 days from Bourdeaux, failed from thence on the 17th October—Nov. 18, in lat. 36, 39, spoke an American ship from Brest, bound to Charleston, out 20 days.
Extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated Sept. 16, 1794, to a gentleman in Philadelphia.
The Prussians have been terribly beat by the Poles, so that the King of Prussia has been obliged to raise the siege of Warsaw; This is absolutely a fact, and may be depended upon, tho' our German papers give quite another reason for it; it not being allowed in Hambro' to insert any thing in favor of the Poles, and to the disadvantage of Prussia, for according to them they retreat with Victories!!!
PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 16.
At the close of the Poll in this town for the choice of a Representative to fill up this State's Representation in Congress, the votes were for
HON. ABIEL FOSTER, Esq. 70
HON. PAYNE WINGATE, Esq. 5
On Sunday evening, about 10 o'clock, a noise was heard very much resembling, and by many supposed to be an Earthquake.
An Earthquake happened in Turkey, in Asia, last June, which entirely swallowed up three towns. 90,000 persons were lost in this convulsion.
COMMERCIAL INFORMATION.
JAMES SHEAFE, Esq. Portsmouth:
Philadelphia, Nov. 25, 1794.
SIR, The merchants of this city, whose property has been illegally captured by the British, have, at the request of the Secretary of State, appointed a committee, for the purpose of conferring with him on that subject, and taking the necessary steps for bringing forward their claims for compensation.
The measures hitherto adopted have been made public for general information, and the Committee are now expecting to receive the communications called for from such persons as have not already obtained the proceedings of the Courts; it is proposed to send to the different places (included in the notification) such lists as they are furnished with, and directions to some persons of character in each to obtain authentic copies of the records on each case, and to forward the whole, as soon as possible, to the department of State here, from which they will be sent to the Agent in London.
Government having agreed to defray any expense which may attend the procuring the documents, it is expected that every person having a claim will furnish the information respecting it. And it is considered as highly important that the parties should furnish a statement of their claims accompanied with proofs of the property, and its value authenticated in such a manner as to leave as little room as possible for cavil.
The sooner those documents can be obtained, the greater probability there is of obtaining compensation. Existing circumstances appear to warrant this opinion. The anxiety of the committee on this subject, and an expectation expressed by the Secretary that all communications respecting those captures should come through them, have dictated the propriety of opening a correspondence with the merchants of the principal trading towns in the United States. And they address themselves to you for the purpose of having this letter communicated to the merchants of your place. They will faithfully impart to the Secretary of State any information transmitted to them, and co-operate in any general measure that may be agreed on. By order and in behalf of the committee, I am with great respect,
Sir, your most humble servant, THO. FITZSIMONS.

A SONG. IN a garden of roses, a sweet blushing bud, One morning, attracted my sight; All roses around it, methought, it out shone, Its tint were transcendently bright. I marked it, designing e'er long to return, And place all its sweets in my breast; But a reptile, in ambush, alas! had destroyed This darling, so lately caress'd. Thus blooming and sweet my dear MIRA ap- peared, When destiny forced me away; Why heaves that fond bosom? ah! dry up those tears, For short shall be CELADON's stay. I returned, on Love's wings, and ye powers I cried, This morn shall make MIRA my own; I sought her—your pity afford me, ye swains, For the beautiful charmer was gone! Grim Death, who lay lurking, and envied my bliss, Had cropt this sweet rose-bud, so fair; Its colors were vanished, its fragrance was flown, And CELADON—doomed to despair! PASTORELLA.
