FEMALE ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Most agreeable to a Husband.
"Man may for wealth or glory roam, But woman must be blest at home; To this should all her studies tend, This her great object and her end."
A MARRIED woman must consider what are the chief requisites to happiness; and, as it is absolutely impossible to have every perfection in one man, she must come to a steady determination what she is to look upon as most essential, and what is most easy to be sacrificed. She must endeavor to attain to some degree of those accomplishments which her husband most values in other people, and for which he is most valued himself. The endowments of your mind will make your person more agreeable to him: And when you are without a third person, your time will not lay heavy on your hands for want of conversation.
A wife must endeavor to heighten the charms of a mistress, by the good sense and solidity of a friend. If she reads a new work, a poem, or a play, it must be to form her taste, that she may be able to entertain the man she loves.
She will soon find, that a great article in the happiness of life, is the economy of her family, which must be her province of shining. This will constantly furnish a variety of subjects, which will afford a perpetual fund of amusement, to which women who are always gadding abroad are entire strangers. One of the greatest beauties in the female character is that retiring delicacy, that modest reserve, which avoids the public eye.
ANECDOTES.
WHEN Sir Richard Steele was sitting up his great room, in York buildings, for public orations, he happened at that time to be pretty much behind in his payments to his workmen; and coming one day among them to see how they went forward, he ordered one of them to get up into the rostrum, and make a speech, that he might observe how it might be heard. The fellow mounting, and scratching his pate, told him he knew not what to say; for in truth he was no orator. O, said the knight, no matter for that, say any thing that comes uppermost. "Why here, Sir Richard," said the fellow, "we have been working for you these six months, and cannot get one penny of money; pray Sir, when do you intend to pay us?" "Very well, very well, said Sir Richard, pray come down; I have heard enough, I cannot say but you speak very distinctly, though I do not much admire your subject."
A GENTLEMAN apt to be very witty when in liquor, was asked by an acquaintance, if he belonged to the play house? he replied "No; why did you ask me?" "because," replied his friend, "you are so Dram Atick!"
MAXIM.
WE should often be ashamed of our best actions, if the world were witness to the motives which produce them.
Foreign Intelligence.
From late Paris Papers.
By the ship Andrew, Makins, from L'Orient.
(Translated for the Aurora.)
PARIS, Feb. 28.
In pursuance of an order of the committee of general security, six renowned stock-jobbers have just been arrested; there are evident proofs of their having, in company with other monsters of the same class, occasioned in a few days the enormous increase in the price of merchandise and objects of the first necessity. It is to these speculators on public misery, that the dearth of provisions and the discredit of assignats must be ascribed. Government incessantly occupied with the elements which constitute the welfare of the people, is about to take vigorous measures in order to prevent the numberless evils which must needs result from
the cupidity of those unworthy individuals, who speak of humanity, patriotism and justice, and feel attached to nothing but gold and silver. The mines of Potosi or Santa-Fe would be their true element, and the slaves who work there would form better citizens.
The ship William Penn, Captain Josiah, arrived at Philadelphia, the 5th inst. from London. By this ship, London papers to the 14th March have been received—from which the following intelligence is copied.
LONDON, March 12.
Admiral Hervey, who failed on Monday last from the Downs, with 5 sail of the line is going into the North Sea, with a view of affording a strong convoy to the princes of Wales, who is probably now on her passage to England.
The death of the Count de Goltz has certainly retarded the negotiation between the King of Prussia and the French Republic. What the nature of it is, we believe few men in this country can accurately ascertain; but certainly it has always been regarded with suspicion. Indeed such has been the crooked policy of the court of Berlin through the whole course of the war, that no reliance can be placed on its assurances from one week to another. We therefore shall not be surprised at any thing we hear of its operations.
If it is intended to bring away any part of the British army from the continent, the sooner it is done the better; for we fear that shortly there will be no other route than by the Elbe. The communication between this river and the present position of our army is bad in the extreme; and there is every reason to believe the French will be at Embden in the course of the present month.
Earl Camden is appointed lord lieutenant of Ireland, and he is to set off forthwith.
It is said that Mr. Pitt feels that he cannot, dare not refuse to the Catholics the emancipation which it was the principle of Earl Fitzwilliam's system to give them, but that he is desirous of making it the ground of a most important condition, namely, of an union of the two kingdoms. This measure, so long the object of the crown, and so much to be dreaded by the people of both nations, will perhaps be thrown out, at this time, as a subject for discussion, by which he may agitate the people of Ireland, and draw them from the topic immediately before them, to another in which their pride may be put into contention with their policy. And this is quite consonant to his uniform practice.
We have avoided to mention the report which has been freely circulated on the continent for some time, but without any other evidence than its probability—we mean the separate peace actually said to be concluded between the French and the King of Prussia. It is now reported upon authority that in our minds is decisive of the fact. Ministers do not deny it; and even the terms have transpired. A body of Prussian troops are perhaps at this moment on the march, and it is strongly suspected that Hanover is to be made the theatre of the action of the two powers, the conquest and guarantee of which will be made to Prussia by the French as the price of peace.
On the same authority we learn the equally important fact, that the Emperor persists in refusing the loan offered to him by this country, since the extraordinary movements in his own neighborhood make it incompatible with his own safety to proceed in the war. The terms offered him by the French are too advantageous to be refused; and there is little doubt but that he, like Prussia, will accept of the boon that is held out to him, namely, the guarantee of Bavaria.
Thus will the French dexterously draw from our side all our allies, preserve the immense frontier they have acquired, and laugh to scorn the pride and passion of those self-sufficient men who would not treat with a people, that will thus become the arbiters of Europe. The predicament into which we shall be brought, is too dreadful to be contemplated, and yet so lofty are the public to all sense of British interests, that our danger produces no sensation, and ministers are suffered to go on with the indifference of stoicism.
The French are holding out Russia and Great-Britain as the real objects of terror to all other powers with whom they are at war, and calling upon them to unite against the two Colossuses that bestride earth and ocean. The naval power of Britain can give no alarm to any of the combined powers except Spain; but the charge against Russia is too well founded not to produce a considerable effect. The dread of Russia has already induced the King of Prussia to open a negotiation for peace with France, and must have great influence upon the conduct of the Emperor.
We were formerly accustomed to take our fashions from our natural enemies, the French; surely then there can be no impropriety in adopting the policy of our faithful allies, the Spaniards. They have lately laid a tax upon

Their dignified clergy, and his holiness of Rome has given his dispensation to the measure. All the reverend prelates of this country, excepting one, are strenuous advocates for the present war. Why should they not contribute a quota (proportionable to that of the Spanish ecclesiastics at least) for carrying it on?
MARCH 17.
The communication between Holland and Hamburg, by land, being interrupted by the present position of the French and the Combined Army, it has been resolved to send regularly, every week or fortnight, a packet from Amsterdam to the above town. The first failed from Amsterdam on the 18th of February.
According to letters from Poland, the late revolution has cost that ill-fated country 80,000 men in killed and wounded; and about 40,000 fled into Galicia.
The Bishoprick of Liege has raised a corps of 10,000 men for the French Republic, to serve in the next campaign.
Mr. Hare, son of the Member for Knarresborough, is appointed one of the Aids de Camp to Earl Camden.
An order has been issued from the Pay-Office, for 100,000l. to be sent to the Continent, by the Syren frigate, for the service of the army.
An American Captain arrived in the River on Sunday from Nantz, who reports, that on the 3d inst. the Republican General Hoche, accompanied by two Commissioners of the Convention, entered that city with much ceremony, for the purpose of receiving the public submission of Charette, and several leaders of the late counter-revolutionary army. At noon the approach of Charette was announced by the return of an immense crowd of persons who had gone from the city to meet him, and by an universal shout of Vive la Republique! He was accompanied also by several thousands of his late troops, disarmed; but himself and the other leaders wore their swords, till they reached the front of the Maison de Ville, where they delivered them to Gen. Hoche, and received them again from him. The whole body wore the tri-coloured cockade, and the number was so great, it was necessary to send a large supply of bread from the army into the city. A subscription had also been previously made, for supplying clothes to those of the La Vendéans who were in want.
Extract from the Republicaine Française of the 7th of March:
"They write from Balle, that Negotiators are constantly arriving, entrusted with the interests of several Princes of the Empire: among them is M. le Baron de Creben, sent by the Elector of Treves and the House of Nassau."
MARCH 18.
We have reason to believe that our Government has certain information of the intentions of the French, to send out a very formidable expedition from Toulon, probably against Corsica.
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman in Italy, dated Jan. 31, 1795.
"The fleet in Toulon Roads is ready for sea. There are a great number of men on board it, but a general want of able seamen. There are good troops encamped ready to be embarked at a moment's notice; so that the plan of an expedition has not yet been given over."
A Dutch Commissioner arrived on Monday, with a flag of truce, at Harwich. He is the same Commissioner who left this country, a short time ago, in order to communicate the answer of the British Minister on the subject of the Dutch ships detained in our ports; and to receive further instructions from the Dutch Government.
MARCH 21.
In our Paper of yesterday we stated, upon the information of a Correspondent there, the arrival at Yarmouth of three Dutch Merchants and an Englishman, the Mate of an English Transport sunk at Rotterdam, who made their escape from the Texel on Monday night last in a Schuff. As the intelligence was not contained in the whole of our Impression of yesterday, we beg leave to recapitulate it to-day for the satisfaction of all our Readers.
There had been no particular occurrences at Amsterdam, but letters had been received there with very extraordinary intelligence from Paris.
These letters state, that on Wednesday the 11th inst. late in the afternoon, Judgment of Death was pronounced by the Revolutionary Tribunal against BARRERE and his accomplices. The same night, on some rockets being fired from the Observatory, a Banditti assembled in the Suburbs of St. Germain, St. Marceau and St. Antoine, led on by the most enraged of the Jacobins, and accompanied by a flour of Poissards, to the number of about 15,000. They proceeded to the Thuilleries, beat the Guards of the District, and took possession of the Barricades and the Bridges.
The general cry was " abas les moderés, vivent les Jacobins ," while another part of the mob exclaimed " Du Pain, et un Roi! " The issue of this tumult was not known when the accounts came away. The ferment had been some time brewing, as was evident from several circumstances, particularly from the cry that was raised in the Parterre of the opera, of the night before, a bas les Muscadins , on the entry of Madame Tallien or Cabarres, in her superb Greek dress into one of the boxes.
In the course of the night a large party was detached from the Carrousel to the Temple. From the divided sentiments of the Mob, it appeared quite uncertain what was their design, whether to put to death the illustrious prisoners
confined there, or liberate and proclaim Louis XVII.
Such is the statement which reached us yesterday, and which we thought it our duty immediately to communicate. We have this day nothing to add in support of its credibility having, when this paper was put to press, received no further account nor confirmation. We shall look, however, with more than usual anxiety for Paris papers of the date of the rumoured transaction in that Capital.
MARCH 22.
[The Execution of Barrere, &c.] is confirmed by an American vessel arrived at Portsmouth , ( Eng. ) but no mention is made of any disturbances at Paris.]
[An article under this date mentions, confidentially, that the Russians are about operating offensively against France—It is hinted that this determination of the Empress arises from the defection of the Prussians; and that a new treaty is on the tapis between England and Russia.]
Under the same date it is also mentioned, that the fears of the Public respecting Ireland have in a great degree subsided; and that things there are like to return to their former state of tranquillity.]
POOLE, March 15.
Orders were received yesterday from the War-Office, for the 83d and 98th Regiments, in barracks here, to hold themselves in readiness to march on Wednesday next for Southampton, where they are to embark on some secret expedition.
PLYMOUTH, March 16.
The Commerce de Marseilles, of 120 guns, is fitting at Spithead, and will be ready for Commission in a few days.
Orders were received this morning for the following ships to sail immediately, to cruise on the Coast of France, under the command of Rear Admiral CULPOYS:
   London, 98 Admiral Culpoys:     Arrogant, 74 Lucas,   Venerable, 74 Sir John Orde,   Robust, 74 E. Thornborough,   Valiant, 74 O. Parker,   Santa Margarita, 36 Harvey,   Orpheus, 36 Drew,   Niger, 32 Foot,   Astrea, 32 Lord Paulet.  
DUBLIN, March 11.
Mr. Leeson and Mr. Camaz, the Delegates appointed by the Freeholders of the Country of Wicklow, to present an Address to his Majesty on the expected departure of his Excellency the Earl Fitzwilliam from this kingdom, and expressive of their sentiments thereon, failed this morning at one o'clock.
It is with inexpressible concern we have to announce, that letters from London, received at the Castle on Monday night, have made the departure of Earl Fitzwilliam a certain event.
HALIFAX, April 21.
Capt. JONES informs, that the French, having found means to put arms into the hands of the Caribbs and Negroes of St. Vincents, they came down on the town, took possession of it, and burnt it, throwing in the most wanton manner, men, women and children into the fires which was consuming their dwellings. They have burnt the principal plantations, as well as the town. In the midst of the confusion occasioned by this horrid destruction, the Zebra sloop of war entered the harbour, and landed almost all of her men, and made great havoc among those barbarous savages, but her arrival was unfortunately too late to prevent the great destruction.
At Grenada, the French have also landed, and done some mischief, on putting arms into the hands of a part of the Negroes. They also surprised, and carried off the Governor prisoner.
At St. Lucia, the French were in possession of the whole Island except one strong post, which is still in the possession of the British.
ELIZABETHTOWN, April 28.
Extracts from a Journal received by a gentleman in this town, from his friend at Head-Quarters, Grenville.
"Feb. 2. A commander arrived from Fort Defiance, by which Mr. —, has furnished me with a copy of a letter, sent some time since, to Gen. Wayne, by Lord Dorchester, which is as follows:
Quebec, October 6, 1795.
"SIR, "I HAVE this day received a dispatch from his grace the Duke of Portland, one of his Britannic majesty's principal secretaries of state, by which I am directed to inform you that it has been agreed between the British ministry and Mr. Jay that during the present negotiation and until the conclusion of it all things ought to remain in statu quo, that therefore both parties should be done away; that if any prisoners shall have been taken they shall be released and the property restored. Allow me, Sir, to assure you that it will afford me very sincere pleasure to see a lasting peace and mutual understanding established between Great Britain and the United States of America, and that I shall heartily co-operate in every proper measure for this end. (Signed) DORCHESTER."
NORFOLK, May 2.
CAPTURE OF PORT-AU-PRINCE. On Thursday arrived in town Captain Johnson, (passenger in the schooner Ariel, bound to Baltimore) from Petit Guave, in Hispaniola, and had a passage of 15 days. Captain Johnson informs, that 10,000 troops (including black and white) had marched against Port-au-Prince; that they had erected a fort on the top
of a mountain which commanded fort Bizzoton, and were to open it on the morning. Capt. Johnson came away; that so great was the command of the new battery, that it was expected fort Bizzoton would surrender in two hours after they opened upon it. That he spoke an American brig off Crooked-Island passage, on the 17th April, from Port-au-Prince direct, who told him that place had surrendered on the morning he failed. Capt. Johnson was boarded by Admiral Parker in the Raisonable, of 64 guns, who, in company with a Spanish frigate, were conveying 15 transports with 5000 troops on board, for the relief of Port-au-Prince; but Captain Johnson says that place must have certainly surrendered before they could possibly get there.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5.
There is a report, which, however, we have been unable to trace to its source, of the Spanish fleet in the Mediterranean, having left the English and returned into port, though at the time their co-operation was much needed. This has a probability in its favour, as we have accounts through more than one channel of negotiations for peace having taken place between the French and Spaniards.
We learn from Bremen that the appointment of Mr. Delins, to be the Consul of the United States in that port, has not been accepted by the Senate of that City.
We are happy in being able to inform our readers, that the barque Hope, which was said to have been lost on the coast of France, was safe, in the port of Lisbon 19th March, 1795.
The ship L'Unique, Capt. Allain, fitted out at Port-au-Paix mounts 18 guns and has taken the following prizes, viz. the packet Prince William Henry, with ten thousand dollars on board; from Jamaica to London. The Schooner Flying Fish the famous New-Providence privateer, or rather pirate, formerly commanded by Capt. C'olson; and the sloop Phoenix, a privateer from the same port.
Capt. Hunt, just arrived from St. Eustatia, informs, that during the time he lay there he was boarded by an officer of the Cleopatra British frigate, who took from him an American citizen, a native of North-Carolina, under the pretence of his being a British subject, and was detained notwithstanding the remonstrance of Capt. Hunt to the Governor, who refused to interfere, or demand the sailor. The American consul, Clarkson, was also applied to but declined meddling in the affair. While our Government allows itself to be insulted by its Revenue Cutter being boarded and fired upon, close in shore, it cannot be expected that either our friends or representatives in foreign ports will trouble themselves by asserting the violated rights of our citizens.
The brig —, Capt. Belcher arrived at Bourdeaux, the brig Commerce, of Newport Rhode-Island, from Charleston, is arrived at Ile de Aix; the ship Chaefman, of New-York, is arrived at Bourdeaux.
Left at Rochefort, the ships Alexander and Woodrop Sims of Philadelphia; the ship Friendship of Newbury-Port, brigs Recovery of New-York, and Apollo of Boston, Schooner Ruth of Salem, and a Schooner with green fish from Beverly. March 4th, spoke the brig Industry, John Merrick, from Boston to Ile Oleron, bearing East half South distant 13 leagues.
Letters are received from Bermuda with the agreeable information that not only the privateers of that island are prohibited from capturing Americans indiscriminately as heretofore; but that they have released all Americans in the island that were under trial. It is even said, that good Mr. Goodrich says, he is ready to refund what he has taken, provided we can find it. One fact has also come out by these letters, that sets the villainy of the British administration in its true light. While we were lulled by the order of the 18th of January into a state of some security, it appears that they were not transmitted to Bermuda, and that none have been received there subsequent to those of the 6th of November, which have been considered all along as in force. It is now a doubt whether we should be more indebted at the rapacity of the Bermuda pickaroons, or the perfidy of the British Court.
Capt. Potter of the sloop Sally 5 days from Norfolk, informs, that he failed from thence in company with 30 sail of small vessels bound for this port and New-York and Boston; the Thetis and another British Frigate lay in the road as he came out. The same day off Cape Charles, he saw three 24 deckers, part of Admiral Murray's Squadron on a cruise.
NEWFIELD, Con. May 6.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Antigua, to his brother in this town, dated April 11, 1795.
"The disturbances caused by the French Democrats (under the guise of Aristocrats) in this Island, is so great that I expect I shall be detained many days longer than I advertised you in a former letter. Two nights ago, the Frenchmen herding among us, laid a plot to murder the President and Vice President, to set fire to the town in three places and to liberate the slaves. Fortunately it was discovered by a faithful negro to the Commander of the island, and at the time of my writing this, they have upwards of 300 French emigrants in custody. They did set fire to the town which was extinguished by the activity and vigilance of the inhabitants, tho' a considerable part of the barracks were consumed."
"The British fleet has arrived at Martinico and we expect a reinforcement of troops here to day or to morrow."
GEORGETOWN, April 24.
In the Philosophical Transactions there is an account of a family, consisting of eight or nine people, who, by a violent wind at the time of a deep snow, were buried under a drift for more than five weeks. They had some goats in the cottage, and upon goat's milk they subsisted part of the time; when the animals gave no milk. They killed them, and lived upon their flesh until the snow and they burst into day. Their neighbours had dug into the snow in many places round the hill; but trees and all other land marks being covered, they had never found the right spot. During the whole time of their confinement, they knew the approach of day by the crowing of the cocks in the neighbouring cottages.
MIDDLETON, April 25.
The salary which the British parliament allows to the first magistrate of that kingdom (called the King) exceeds twelve thousand dollars a day! Happy people! modest King! — to support himself and a numerous family on this small pittance of only 8 1-4 dollars a minute! — and to this the people may add the glory of being ruled by a king. When we look to other countries, how unhappy must they be. For instance, in America — this country allows its President for a year's salary, the enormous sum of two days pay of a British king! — and this is to a president — how insignificant the name sounds, almost as disgusting to a delicate ear as a national convention!
Nothing marks the difference between the Northern and Southern States more strikingly than the following fact — The timber for the American frigates is procured in Georgia, but the Superintendents are obliged to send men from the Northern States to cut it — oxen to draw it to the places of shipment — and provisions to feed the men. This we are assured is the fact.
NEW-YORK, May 2.
Capt. Lathrop, of ship Sally, from Demarara, touched at St. Eustatia, which he left 13th April. He informs that the governor of that island had previously capitulated, on a message from some French vessels of war from St. Martin's; but on Capt. Lathrop's arrival, the island was blockaded by three British 60 gun ships and one sloop of war, then lying in the road, and by whom it was supposed it would be taken immediate possession of. A fleet with troops on board had arrived to windward from England; the number not known. The principal inhabitants had removed from the island, and every kind of business was entirely at a stand.
Capt. Lathrop also says, that the inhabitants of Demerara were in great consternation, fearing a descent of the French or British troops; the Dutch ships in Demerara had all gone up the river for safety.
May 6.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of this city, dated Bermuda, April 9, 1795.
Mr. Goodrich, reprobrates the conduct of Tucker, in capturing the vessels of Americans coming from Hispaniola, and for his part declares himself ready at any moment to make restitution for those vessels and cargoes that his privateers have captured; and says that he looks upon it altogether as a mad business.
The King of Great-Britain has ordered all absent officers belonging to regiments on the Irish establishment, to repair forthwith to their respective stations. This order indicates apprehensions of serious troubles.
It was said by the ancients that in time of peace, the sons bury their fathers — in time of war, the fathers bury their sons. In the present war of extermination, the fathers bury their sons — the sons their fathers, and their wives bury both. Should the war continue another year, famine will overspread Europe, and few of either sex will be left to bury the dead.
WEST-INDIES.
Private letters from Bermuda state, that the people are fitting out all the vessels they can obtain as privateers — the judge of admiralty seems to lie on his oars, in the work of condemnation, and there is apprehension of a reckoning day. It is presumed some decisive measures will be taken by our executive to restrain the villainous proceedings of the Bermudian pirates. It is supposed by many that those cruisers have orders from the British government to justify themselves. It is perhaps more reasonable to suppose that no counter orders have reached them. The same reason may be assigned for the abusive treatment some Americans have received from French privateers in the neighborhood of St. Domingo. It is not candid to suppose government has authorized proceedings clearly piratical.
A letter from St. Croix dated April 16, informs, that the inhabitants of that island had been frequently alarmed with apprehensions of invasion from the French or English, as reports of a war of one or other of those powers with Denmark had alternately prevailed. Almost all the inhabitants of St. Eustatia arrived here that day week, as the French had made a formal demand of the island of St. Martins, and 12,000 dollars a month, in the name of the new states of Holland. The inhabitants not choosing to comply with the demands, abandoned the island and went to St. Croix and St. Thomas's. The next day the English took possession of St. Eustatia in the name of the Stadtholder.
This letter seems to contain the latest account from that quarter; it is added the British reinforcements amount only to 5000 troops.

PHILADELPHIA, May 7. Extract of a letter from a Merchant of the first respectability in Liverpool to a House in this City, dated March 17, received by the Diana.
"I had the pleasure to receive by the Manchester, your very acceptable letter of the 11th December, with a packet of News Papers and Cox's View of the United States, for which I am much obliged to you; the latter is a very valuable work; and I trust gives a true picture of the flourishing state of your country; information, that was within a fortnight's sail, you would have many visitors; at the least to take a look of it. I sincerely hope the pleasing prospect may continue after the death of your very worthy President, who is not only an ornament to America but to Human Nature, and his sensible, prudent conduct, with respect to the late insurrection in the Western Counties, must endear him still more to every good Man: To prevent evil and insurrection, is much better than to conquer it.—Europe has of late been a scene of blood; but I trust the War is near concluding; Holland and Flanders, are conquered by the French; and it is now positively assured, that the King of Prussia has made a separate Peace; and that the Emperor of Germany, (who is the only one of our Allies, that has behaved like an honest Man) has refused the Loan offered him by this infatuated Country to carry on the War; saying it is not in his power to furnish the troops next campaign expected from him; and that he meant to make peace with the French Republic; should this be the case, it will oblige our Ministers to treat for peace also. I observe grain is very high with you; and it is very much so in this country; but the high freights and Insurance, will not by any means afford it to be imported to England; we have had a most have a most severe winter; and the Wheat is by great floods, very greatly damaged; in many parts it must be plowed in and the lands sown with wheat again, or Spring corn. I have endeavoured to freight an American vessel with Salt to Philadelphia, but the freight has been so high as to prevent me—English ships are now quite driven out of the American carrying trade."
NAVAL ENGAGEMENT, off the Isle of France.
Captain Wickes, informs that about 15 days before he arrived at the Isle of France, the Centurion a British 50 gun ship, and the Diamond frigate of 40 guns, had arrived on the coast with an intention to stop all vessels from going in or coming out; in consequence of which two French frigates, the Cible and Prudente, the one of 36 and the other of 32 guns, had been dispatched after them; and an engagement had ensued which was obstinately maintained on both sides for a considerable time; when in a shattered condition, they parted after a drawn battle. When the French frigates returned to port, the loss of the Cible was estimated at 100 men killed; that of the Prudente not so great. It was also said that one of the British ships was in so shattered a condition, that she could scarcely be brought safe to port. Their loss of men could not be ascertained. It was supposed they had failed for Bombay to refit as they had neither been seen nor heard of since the engagement.
The two French frigates were in port when Capt. Wickes failed from the Isle of France, and all their privates called in; he says that the port was guarded by three fortifications, each of which mounted 100 pieces of cannon, with a numerous garrison of troops in high spirits and well supplied with provisions, who were determined to hold out to the last extremity, in case they should be attacked by the British.
NEW-YORK, May 9.
The following extraordinary letter, as published in Thursday's Gazette is said to be a genuine one—no doubt the writer wishes as he writes— Extract of a letter from a respectable gentleman in Havre-de-Grace, to a merchant in this city.
"The present will inform you of the happy change, which, in all probability, is about to take place in France. It is the public opinion here, that a peace will soon prevail. The army of La Vendee have entered into accommodation with the deputies of the Convention. The General of the Le Vendee, Charette, came to Nantz with 30,000 troops, with baggage, &c. All the people repeatedly vociferate, huzza for the union. Before the arrival of Charette at Nantz, they were reduced to four ounces of bread a day per person; and as soon as Charette came, twelve ounces were ordered."
"We do not yet know the conditions between Charette and the Deputies of the Convention; but it is believed, that Charette has made very advantageous conditions for himself and his army."
"Every thing shews us, that the Constitution of 1791 will take place. There is passed upon the door or gate of the Temple where the Dauphin of France is confined, the following words: France has put us in a lottery, and the first number that will be drawn will be Louis XVII."
"At Rennes, in Bretagne and Caen, in Normandy, the people cry in the streets, Huzza for Louis XVII."
"France is to re-establish her Colonies, and give every satisfaction to the inhabitants."
From very respectable authority, we learn, that a squadron of French ships of the line are very shortly expected on our coast. In consequence of which the Semillante and other ships have received orders to remain in this harbour, until notice is given of their arrival.
BOSTON, May 11.
From LEOGANE
we learn, that the yellow fever rages with great fatality through the whole island of Hispaniola. A brig arrived here on Wednesday in 23 days
from the Bite. At the time she failed, there was scarcely a hand on board, able to stand on deck; and during her passage, the captain and first mate died of the distemper.
THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT
has voted for the national supply of the present year, the sum of 27,540,584l. nearly two millions of which is to be raised by new taxes. Among these, is a tax of a guinea, per head, for a licence to wear hair-powder, which it is supposed, will net a revenue of 210,000l.
MAY 14.
BISHOP OF LANDAFF'S SPEECH.
The following extract from No. 5. of Debrett's Parliamentary Register, of the Speech of the Bishop of Landaff, on the late motion of the Duke of Bedford in favor of peace, contains so much of sound policy and true religion, that we trust we cannot do a more acceptable thing for our readers than in offering it to their perusal.
"But the resources of France are exhausted, our's are still great, and one campaign more will finish the business with success. All this is assertion, without proof; it is an improbable prophecy; but admit it to be true in all its parts, let us see what will follow; for it is a main part of deliberative wisdom to respect the end of measures."
"Suppose, then, the unfortunate Louis to be placed by our efforts, on the throne of his ancestors, surrounded by his nobles in the plenitude of their ancient privileges, the Bastille re-erected, and the people of France (Heaven avert that part of the event) once more crouching under the rod of despotic power, what advantage will Great-Britain derive from this change? The king of France cannot restore to us thousands and tens of thousands of gallant men, who have perished in the contest; nor will he send us a colony of his subjects to replace the numbers which the state has lost: Will he repay into the Exchequer of Great-Britain the millions and tens of millions which have been expended, or tax his own people, in order to ease our shoulders from the burdens we must sustain on this account? No: whatever may be his gratitude, he will not have the ability to do this."
"Will he give up his West-India Islands to indemnify us for our losses? No: he will not rob his crown of so bright a jewel; his people will not suffer it; Spain will not permit it; Holland, if she is allowed a voice, will exclaim against it; all the powers of Europe, already too envious of our prosperity, too jealous of our greatness, (I verily believe we have not one cordial friend in Europe) will all conspire to prevent our receiving such an additional source of naval and commercial strength. I profess I do not see any probability of our regaining a single guinea of what we have spent, tho' the re-establishment of the ancient monarchy, should by our means be effected to-morrow. But, I may be told that the war was begun, and is continued, not so much for the establishment of the French monarchy, as for the security of our own."
"I have already delivered my opinion so explicitly on the little connection there is between the establishment of a Republic in France, and the subversion of the English constitution—that I will not dwell on this point any longer."
"But this war is a war of religion, atheism and infidelity, Gracious God! How great is the presumption of us miserable mortals! The Almighty Creator and conservator of the universe, wanteth not the arm of flesh to secure the reality of his existence, or the honor of his laws. He gave a commission to the Israelites to exterminate the Canaanites for their wickedness and idolatry; but he hath given none to us, or the princes of Europe, to exterminate the French for their cruelty and infidelity. Vengeance, as a noble Duke rightly observed, and with a sense of religion which adds honor to his rank; vengeance belongeth not to a man."
[The following is a copy of a letter from the person sent by the committee of merchants of Philadelphia—to collect the proceedings of the Vice Admiralty Courts—in respect to American vessels, captured and condemned in the British Colonies.]
Bermuda, 13th April, 1795.
"SIR, I write you (via New-York) by Mr. Cook, informing you of my safe arrival at this place on the 8th inst. Since then I have repeatedly waited on the Governor and Judge—the latter has consented that a clerk shall be immediately employed in copying the records of the court of Vice Admiralty, agreeable to the Secretary Randolph's orders—the papers are to be examined from time to time by Mr. HERVEY—the Attorney employed by Messrs. PERROT. I have had two interviews with the Governor and Judge upon the business of Privateering, and agreeable to the Governor's advice, the Judge has promised to both the Governor and myself, that all vessels brought in here bound from French ports in the West-Indies to America, shall be suspended, by an interlocutory decree; the claimant giving security for an appraised value can proceed with vessel and cargo, and the business suspended until further advice shall be received."
The advice wished for, as I understand, is to know what instructions the Judges in the West-Indies have received from the Lords of the Admiralty. Judge Green declares he has received none. Both the Governor and Judge have wrote to Mr. Hammond, by Mr. Cook, on this business."
In consequence of the Judge's promise of an interlocutory decree, I have prepared security for all the vessels in port (as it was not in the power of the Captains to get off) and shall send vessels on to Philadelphia, addressed to my house, agreeable to my stipulation here.
This business, and the request of the Governor to wait the event of one trial or more, induces me to delay my departure until Wednesday the fifteenth, (three days longer than I at first intended) when I shall sail for Barbadoes. I hope my stay will meet with your approbation as you may rest assured Sir, that no unnecessary delay shall take place on my part.
ADDITIONAL.
April 14th. Contrary to my expectation no trial has come on to-day, which determines me to set off immediately, as I might be disappointed for some time—The Governor has persuaded me to stay, but I conceive it would be of little consequence.
I am assured, that after giving good and sufficient security, we shall be permitted to take our vessels, and go where we please, provided they are from a French port in the West-Indies, and there is no positive proof or strong suspicion of the property being French.
The Governor requests me to assure you, Sir, that at all times he will be happy to render any assistance in his power to the Americans—He is a man of honor, and will cheerfully and fully comply with what he promises.

Extract of a letter from a respectable mercantile house in Falmouth (England) to a gentleman in this town. Dated March 16, 1795.
"ESTEEMED FRIEND, "We have only time to inform thee, that we have just received by Packet from your Consuls at Gibraltar and Cadiz in date 19th and 20th February, the affecting intelligence of the Rovers of Salle being at sea, and directed to detain, your shipping; and that they will certainly cruise as far West as Madeira, as soon as the weather permits them. These gentlemen, however, flatter themselves, that MULAY SOLIMAN may yet be prevailed upon to become more pacific towards America. We make this intelligence known at London, and most of our ports; and we shall be obliged by thy making it public in your city and neighborhood, for as the Packet is about to sail, we have not time to write our friends generally."
Extract of a letter from a respectable American gentleman at Halifax, to a merchant in this town, dated May 5, 1795.
"I left Bermuda 15 or 16 days ago, where I and Mr. Gardiner of Philadelphia, did every thing in our power for the dispatch of sundry vessels, of Americans, taken in coming from Hispaniola, upon security being given to produce proper proofs that the property is neutral. This I hope will be done. I believe there was only one vessel there, a Captain Harris, I think in a sloop from the windward, belonging to Boston. Before I left Bermuda, Mr. Goodrich had two ships out cruising on the coast of America, and one small schooner off your bay, in quest of Bourdeaux vessels; but with orders not to trouble them unless their papers appeared dark or difficult. I have no doubt, however, numbers will be taken by them and Murray's Squadron. If you or your friends expect any of your own property, lodge proper vouchers here and at Bermuda. Silver Pigs, Wine, Brandy, and French Crowns are in great plenty at the two places; and no pains spared to add to the supply!"
St. Kitts, Dominigue, Martinique, Tortola, Jamaica, and Curraçoa are mentioned as the islands in which infectious diseases are most prevalent.

Is now without the least doubt on his passage for America.

IMPORTANT.
BY AUTHORITY.
From NORFOLK, May 1.
As it is deemed contrary to our Neutrality and National Faith, that armed Vessels should make stations in our Ports or Roads, in order, by sallying from thence, to distress our Trade and harass our Citizens and Allies, and as the Commanding Officer of certain vessels of his Britannic Majesty, has been required to depart from the Ports of this State with the ships under his command, and has peremptorily refused obeying such Requisition, we are ordered to use the most effectual means to prevent the Officers and Crews of the aforesaid Ships from receiving or experiencing any aid, assistance, or comfort from any of the Inhabitants of this Commonwealth,—they are therefore notified of the same, and as good Citizens are desired to govern themselves accordingly.
By Order of his Excellency the Governor of Virginia.
W. WILSON, Lieut. Col. of the County of Norfolk.
T. NEWTON, Lieut. Col.
Commandant of Norfolk Borough. April 30, 1795.
From MADEIRA, March 28th.
By a vessel from Lisbon three days ago, the American Consul at that place forwarded to the Consul here, a copy of a letter dated Feb. 10 1795, received by him from the American Consul at Gibraltar, to the following purport—"By a vessel a few days ago from Tangiers, we are informed, that an English vessel was seized on her arrival there, and detained on suspicion of her being American property; this too plainly shews their disposition towards America—have therefore to request you will give the information to the Capt's. of all American vessels with you."
SALE M. May 12.
The following representation of facts is taken from the revolutionary Gazette of Rouen, the metropolis of Normandy.
"The executive commissions of the nume-
rous offices swarm with abuses.—When a person applies to these commissions, he is sent from one deputy or clerk to another. Yet, ignorant and ignorant as they are, they must be well lodged and furnished at the expense of the nation.—The most beautiful clocks, the most elegant glasses and other expensive furniture, rising out of the proceeds of the civil list, from the goods of the Emigrants, of those condemned or imprisoned, are appropriated to their use. Matthieu declared in the convention that one of them slept on a bed that cost 30,000 livres, [6200 dollars! a very good lodging for a plain republican clerk—a true Sans Culotte patriot!]
There are in each office from 30 to 60 clerks or deputies. It is but a little time since the new committee of Public Safety dismissed at once 180 clerks from the office of the administration of small arms!
The Executive Commission for provisioning the army maintains a host of 174,000 agents or commissaries, scattered over the whole surface of the Republic, and the conquered countries. The convention were engaged in repressing these abuses and dilapidations.
The foregoing corresponds with other accounts of abuses in every part of the administration of that country. In time of war, men seek employment without labor, and if severe vigilance is not employed to restrain them, the agents and speculators will multiply, till a country will not maintain them.
Multitudes of agents in this country were perpetually occupied in defrauding the republic. It has been a common practice for the purchasers to charge the republic ten or fifteen per cent more than they have given for provisions, cloathing, freight, &c. This is not stated to prove that republicans and self-styled patriots are worse than other men; but it ought to convince every man that they are no better. Indeed the United States, and this State have had severe experience of this truth.
NEWBURY-PORT, May 16.
From WEST-INDIES.
Last Tuesday arrived here brig Ruby, Capt. William Milberry, 28 days from Kingston (Jamaica.) Capt. M. very politely furnished the Editors of the Herald with the following particulars:
ENGLISH FLEET.
Between the 6th and 17th of April, a fleet of 700 sail arrived at the West-Indies, viz. 64 sail at Kingston, 90 at Port-au-Prince, and the remainder at the Windward Islands, under convoy of 14 ships of war and 20 frigates, with 13,000 troops on board.
A SEVERE BATTLE.
Was fought on the 6th day of April, near the town of Jeremie, between the French emigrants and English, in which the former lost 1200 men, and the latter 140 officers. This information Capt. M. had from an officer who was in the action. Capt. M. failed in company with four schooners bound to Jeremie with necessaries for the wounded.
April 24th. Capt. Milberry spoke a sloop 7 days from Port-au-Prince, bound to New-York, who informed that on 12th April, an attack was made on that place, by the French, who attempted to take it with sword in hand, but were repulsed with the loss of many of them, officers and men. The British pursued and drove them from the town. The Capt. also informed of the arrival of the above-mentioned fleet.
A New-York paper of May 9, says, "By an arrival here from St. Thomas's we learn, that 1500 men, being part of the British forces arrived in the West-Indies had been sent to Grenada for its relief—that on their landing they were attacked and repulsed by the French Republicans, with a loss of 500 killed and wounded on the part of the British."
