Great and amiable Characters contrasted.
AN EXTRACT.
THOSE virtues which cause admiration, and are of the sublimer kind, produce terror rather than love; such as fortitude, justice, wisdom, and the like. Never was any man amiable by force of these qualities. Those which engage our hearts, which impress us with a sense of loveliness, are the softer virtues; easiness of temper, compassion, kindness, and liberality; tho' certainly those latter are of less immediate and momentous concern to society, and of less dignity. But it is for that reason they are so amiable. The great virtues turn principally on dangers, punishments, and troubles, and are exercised rather in preventing the worst of mischiefs, than in dispensing favors; and are therefore not lovely, tho' highly venerable. The subordinate turn on reliefs, gratifications, and indulgencies; and are therefore more lovely, tho' inferior in dignity. Those persons who creep into the hearts of most people, who are chosen as the companions of their softest hours, and their reliefs from care and anxiety, are never persons of shining qualities, nor strong virtues.
Extraordinary Effects of Love.
[From the Wonderful Magazine.]
ABOUT an hundred years since, there was in France one Captain Coucy, a gallant gentleman of ancient extraction, and Governor of Coucy castle, which is yet standing, and in good repair. He fell in love with a young gentlewoman, and courted her for his wife.—There was reciprocal love between them; but her parents understanding it, by way of prevention, shuffled up a forced match between her and one Mr. Fayel, who was heir to a great estate. Hereupon Captain Coucy quitted France in discontent, and went to the wars in Hungary against the Turks, where he received a mortal wound near Buda. Being carried to his lodgings, he languished four days: but a little before his death, he spoke to an ancient servant, of whose fidelity and truth he had had ample experience, and told him he had a great business to trust him with, which he conjured him to perform; which was, that after his death he should cause his body to be opened, take out his heart, put it into an earthen pot, and bake it to powder; then put the powder into a handsome box, with the bracelet of hair he had long worn about his left wrist, which was a lock of Mademoiselle Fayel's hair, and put it amongst the powder, together with a little note he had written to her with his own blood: and after he had given him the rights of burial, to make all the speed he could to France, and deliver the Box to Mademoiselle Fayel. The old servant did as his master commanded him, and so went to France; and coming one day to Monsieur Fayel's house, he suddenly met him with one of his servants, who knowing him to be Captain Coucy's servant, examined him; and finding him timorous and to falter in his speech, he searched him, and found the said box in his pocket, with the note which expressed what was in it; then he dismissed the bearer, with menaces that he should come no more thither. Monsieur Fayel going in sent for his cook, and delivered him the powder, charging him to make a well relished dish of it, without losing a jot, for it was a very costly thing, and commanded him to bring it in himself after the last course at supper. The cook bringing in his dish accordingly, Monsieur Fayel commanded all to avoid the room, and began a serious discourse with his wife, "That ever since he had married her, he observed she was always melancholy, and he feared she was inclining to a consumption, therefore he had provided a very precious cordial, which he was well assured would cure her;" and for that reason obliged her to eat up the whole dish; she afterwards much importuning him to know what it was, he told her, "She had eaten up Coucy's heart;" and so drew the box out of his pocket, and shewed her the note and the bracelet. In a sudden exultation of joy, she with a deep fetched sigh, said, "This is a precious cordial indeed; (and so licked the dish, saying,) it is so precious that it is a pity ever to eat anything after it." Whereupon she went to bed, and in the morning was found dead. This sad story is painted in Coucy Castle, and remains fresh to this day.
Miscellaneous Articles.
AN ALUM MINE
has lately been discovered in Sweden, which promises to be more productive than any other of the kind in Europe, and to rival that of lord Dundas in Durham, as to the trade with Holland.
A WINDMILL,
was raised in Holliston, May 20th, upon Pope's construction, 45 feet high from the sill, exclusive of the roof and vane; the whole building was conducted by the ingenuity, industry and perseverance of MOSES LEALAND, an aspiring young Artist, 21 years of age.
ARTIFICIAL CURIOSITY.
An ingenious clergyman, in the neighborhood of Birmingham, England, has contrived a snuff box, which tells the hour of the day, at any given place on the globe—describes every motion of the earth, for 60 years to come—is a perpetual almanac, and calculates eclipses as readily as the owner can take snuff.

LATEST Intelligence from Europe.
Capt. Atkins, in a schooner arrived at Boston from L'Orient in 34 days—From papers brought by him to April 25, the following articles were
TRANSLATED FOR THE CENTINEL.
Another Crisis.
PARIS, April 20.
Yesterday another conspiracy against the national representation was developed by Rovers. The object was to open the prisons, to beat the general in all the sections, to reassemble a Convention, and by force to establish the Constitution of 1793, without modification—to recall the deputies of the Mountain; to absolve by a solemn decree, Billaud, Collot, Barrere and Vadier; to pronounce the arrest of the outlawed deputies, and the transportation of Freron, Tallien, Dubois-Crance, Legendre, Rovere, Barras, and many others. Thuriot, Cambon, Maribon-Montaut, and another, were to be placed at the head of the conspirators. This plot was planned by Parein, an ex-general of La Vendee, a quarter master of the gendarmerie, and two others. Provisions and military stores were expected from the country; and one had been distributed to purchase brandy. After a considerable discussion in which it was mentioned, that the discovery was made by one concerned in the plot; the Convention decreed that Cambon, Thuriot, Ruamps, Levasseur, Maignet, Moise Bayle, and Huntz, Representatives of the People, should consider themselves as in arrest; and if they did not deliver themselves up, in a certain time, their neglect should be punished with transportation. The Convention also decreed, the immediate arrest of Marthon Montaut. Seals were put on all their papers. The coalesced Powers are charged with being at the bottom of this conspiracy.
The Allies of France.
The ill disposed, who wished the French republic to remain unknown amidst Europe, find themselves deceived in their perfidious hopes. The Republic, a Hercules even in its cradle, has found allies, in the four quarters of this part of the world.
In the North, Sweden and Denmark.
In the East, Prussia, whose preponderance will soon give to her for allies, all the states of Germany, who fatigued, have grown weary of the feudal sceptre of the House of Austria.
In the West, a nation as free as ourselves, is seeking, and will speedily find, the incalculable advantages of a re-establishment of her commercial relations with the French Republic—The Americans wait only to have a perfect knowledge of the justice and stability of the French government, to draw close those bonds of friendship first tied by liberty;—Pitt has cunningly profited of the moment of our interior disorganization, to say to the Americans, You must of necessity have some strong ally in Europe, let this ally be England. But the Americans learning the fate of the States-General of Holland will calculate how dangerous it will be for them to repose on British faith, which abandons to annihilation those allies who have served her with the utmost fidelity; and who without shame covers herself with their spoils, at the very instant when they are forced to bend to the inevitable vicissitudes of events.
In the South, it is a branch of the house of Austria herself, which after having been forced by Austrian despotism to range itself under the standard of the coalition, returns with eagerness to principles more favourable to commerce, and to the liberty of Italy, and thus gives a great example of wisdom to all the little potentates of that part of Europe.
APRIL 21.
The agitators yet continue in secret, but the people are tranquil. It was reported two days ago, at the palace of Equality, that there was confusion in the suburbs; at the same time it was told in the suburbs, that there was a riot at the palace of Equality. Yesterday the patroles were more numerous than common; the national palace was surrounded by the armed force; and it was necessary to shew your certificate of civism, to penetrate to the hall of the Convention.
BURNING OF ASSIGNS.
On the 19th March at ten o'clock in the morning there will be burnt in the court of the new local, appointed for the verification of assignats withdrawn from circulation by exchanges. The above sum joined to the two billions six hundred ten millions 683,000 livres already burnt from a total of 2,625,683,000 livres.
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
APRIL 10.
A deputation from the section of Gravilliers, was admitted to the bar.
"A handful of subaltern villains" said the orator, "directed by Leonard Bourdon, Charles Duhem, and their associates, had animated the hope of the anarchists. A band of plunderers and assassins invaded the place of your sitting, tumultuously precipitated themselves into the very sanctuary of the laws, and read an incendiary petition, dictated, no doubt by Leonard Bourdon.—The national representation threw a look of pity on those atoms, those vile instruments of crime. Your serenity and your silence confounded them, and they fled. A minority, paid by the combined powers, and fattened on the misery of the people, had formed for its support a MOUNTAIN, fertile in virtues, but fertile in crimes!—The energy you displayed on the 14th Germinal, (1st April) has levelled it, and France beholds those who inhabited it,
only as assassins, robbers and traitors. Continue—Representatives, to pursue with a firm step, the career where justice guides you, where humanity smiles upon you, where virtue applauds you and where the people will support you!"
Many other sections of Paris, presented at the same time, similar addresses.
The Convention decreed honourable mention of these addresses and their insertion in the bulletin.
APRIL 19.
Cambaceres, in the name of the Committee of seven, reported the progress made by the Committee, in the laws necessary to reorganize the Constitution of 1793. This Constitution is to be modified; it was framed during the system of terror, and stands much in need of amendment in the distribution of its powers.
SITTING OF APRIL 22.
Syeyes read a letter of credence brought by the Ambassador Extraordinary from the King of Sweden:—It begins—
"We Gustavus Adolphus, by the grace of God, King of the Swedes, of the Goths, and of the Vandals, Heir of Denmark and Norway, Duke of Schleswig, Holstein, Hormarie and Dithmarfen, Count of Oldenbourg, and of Delmenherst—To the very honourable, and very illustrious, our friends and allies, by us sincerely cherished, the citizens Representatives of the French Republic, &c. &c. &c."
[After professing the utmost friendship and affection, he recommends the Ambassador to the attention of the Convention. The same papers contain the introductory speech of the Ambassador, (who is the Baron Eric Magnus Stael de Holstein) with the answer of the President thereto.
HAVRE, April 12.
In the course of the last month nine neutral vessels, laden with 34064 quintals of grain, besides several American vessels, having on board 1803 tierces and 288 half-tierces of rice, arrived in this port.
This day a great number of waggons loaded with grain, set out for Paris, escorted by two hundred of our national guards.
HOLLAND.
AMSTERDAM, April 16.

LONDON, April 7.
HOLWOOD ECHO.
In the Groves of Holwood, the seat of the Right Hon. William Pitt, is a celebrated Echo, which returns every sound with astonishing precision. A Gentleman, who lately paid a visit to that enchanting spot, received the following extraordinary Replies, to the subsequent Sentences:—
The French have got to Amsterdam. Echo.—Dam. We shall conquer France most certainly. Echo.—Lie. Dundas proposes to increase the Navy. Echo.—Knave he. What can destroy constructive Treason? Echo.—Reason. How is Liberty—when the Habeas Corpus Act is suspended? Echo.—Ended. What shall we call the great Dundas? Echo.—Ass. What can good Englishmen derive from Stanhope? Echo.—Hope. Windham they say confounds both good and evil. Echo.—Devil. What must we do the constitution to secure. Echo.—Cure. The ministers all act with one accord. Echo.—A Cord. What do the French mean to do this country to overcome? Echo.—Over-come. Great Pitt, may you grow fat and farewell. Echo.—Farewell.
Plan of Campaign for 1795.
APRIL 10.
The following has been printed at Vienna, as the outline of the plan of operations for the ensuing campaign:
A strong cordon to act on the defensive, upon the whole extent of the Rhine, from the Brisgau to Westphalia. The Palatinate, as far as Mannheim, to be entrusted to its own troops, the Austrians, and the corps of Conde. The country between Mannheim and Wesel, and the banks of the Lippe, is to be guarded by the Austrians, and the various contingents of the Empire, which if necessary, are to be raised by forced levies to the quintuple. The barrier formed by these forces (it is said thousand) will be three hundred strong; the Duke of Saxe Teschen, to be Generalissimo of the whole; Prince Hohenlohe, with the Prussian contingent of 10,000 men, to be stationed near Mentz; the country from Wesel, and the confines of Holland to the Elbe, and the German sea coast, to be covered by the English, Hessians, Hanoverians, &c, to prevent the French from cutting off the communication between England and the Continent; with other measures of offence and defence as occasion may require.
WHITEHALL, April 11.
The King has been pleased to grant the dignity of Baronet of the kingdom of Great-Britain, to JOHN WENTWORTH, Esq. Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Nova-Scotia, in America, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten.
NOVASCOTIA.
HALIFAX, May 28.
We announce the arrival, this morning, of his Majesty's ships Thetis, the Honorable Capt. Cochran, and Hussar, Capt. Beresford, with La Raizon and La Pervoyante, French Men of War, armed en flute. These ships mount upwards of 20 guns each, and were part of a squadron of five sail, from Guadalupe bound to Virginia.—His Majesty's ships fell in with them in lat. 38. long. 72.—and after an engagement of an hour and 20 minutes, three of the Frenchmen, one of which had a Commodore's pendant, and mounted 40 guns, ran away, and left La Raizon and Pervoyante in possession of our frigates.—The Thetis had 8 or 10 men killed and wounded.—The Hussar had none killed in the engagement, but a boy belonging to her has since died of his wounds.—The number of killed and wounded on board the French ships, we have not been able correctly to obtain; but understand that the slaughter has been very great.
PHILADELPHIA, May 22.
Extract of a letter from New-York, dated May 21.
"This city is all in a ferment on account of the loss of a small French flag from the Tontine Coffee House.—On Monday some Englishmen who lodged in the house, in a drunken frolic, stole the French flag erected on the left of the tomahawk, and new liberty cap lately fixed in that building.—No sooner was it known than the whole city was in an uproar—the demos left their occupations and repaired to the place for vengeance—the merchant's goods were left on the wharves in the rain—the house was filled, and those who paid for it, crouded out. The thief had fled—he was pursued by water, but could not be found.
What will be the end of this affair it is hard to determine.—All business at the coffee house was yesterday interrupted—Mr. Hyde's lodgers have left him—if things go on in this way, the house must be shut up.
So much for a cap—Men must have something to worship—and no good man can object, if the public peace is not destroyed thereby.—If liberty poles, caps and flags were planted in our streets as thick as the trees in the forest, they could do no harm, if they were not the rallying points of sedition and disorder.—But to see the peace of a city exposed, and even life and property sported with, on such despicable accounts, affords but a miserable picture of mankind. The puppy who stole the flag deserves a coat of tar and feathers—but it is impossible not to despise the folly and childishness of the men or rather boys, who insist on sticking up a cap in a place where men of all nations resort, and where they have a right to resort without any occasion of offence."
MAY 30.
We are sorry to inform the public, that yesterday, about 1 o'clock, a most dreadful fracas arose between a party of the crew of the privateer brig Brutus, and a number of the workmen employed in the rope-walks, in Southwark, in which one of the latter and two of the former lost their lives; two others were so badly fractured on the head, that it is feared they cannot survive. The Frenchman, and one of the rope-makers, died on the spot, the other expired whilst he was conveying home. Several of the privateer's people were armed with cutlasses.
During the disturbance, a party of the volunteer militia were ordered under arms, but the civil authority being found sufficient to prevent any further mischief, and apprehend the rioters, the orders were countermanded.
[A private letter from Philadelphia, mentions, that the fracas originated in a house of ill-fame, which was resorted to by the crew of the French privateer, and a number of Irish indented Rope-makers. The battle took place at noon-day; and was fought with clubs, cutlasses, and bayonets. It was a murderous scene, but of a short continuance. CENT.]
NEW-YORK, June 5.
Yesterday morning the British frigate Thistle anchored off Governor's Island; and, at 12 o'clock, fired a salute; which was answered from the new fortifications on said Island.
Admiral Murray is arrived at Sandy-Hook in the Resolution of 74 guns, and is coming up in the Cleopatra frigate, Capt. Rowly.
The whole of Mr. Hastings' Impeachment (says a late London paper) has now been negatived in the Committee of the House of Lords.
BOSTON, June 10.
MR. JAY'S ELECTION—CERTAIN.
We congratulate the friends of Peace, the Federal Patriots of the United States, on the election of Mr. JAY to the Chief Magistracy of the State of New-York. The assurance of this, we have just received,
Dated, "NEW-YORK, June 5.
"JOHN JAY is just declared Governor of the State of New-York, by a majority of upwards of TWO THOUSAND votes."
THE FRONTIER ARMY.
Capt. Ingersol, who arrived in town since our last, from Gen. Wayne's army, which he left in April, informs, that the Indians were continually suing for peace; and that travelling was safe. Since the cessation of hostilities but
few murders had been committed, and those by a party of Indians who had not heard of the armistice. The army being in the heart of the Indian country, was much feared by the natives—and this circumstance was the best guarantee of their fidelity.
RIGHTS OF NATIONS.
Gregoire has presented to the National Convention of France, a tablet of the Rights of Nations. It is a neat, laconic production; and in the most forcible manner denounces the interference of one nation in the affairs of another.
BARRERE, & CO.
Mentioned in the last Centinel, as banished from France, are to be sent to Cayenne, in South-America. Cayenne, is in Guiana, whereto the refractory Priests were banished in 1792.
POLVERELL,
So well known for his conduct in the French West-Indies, fell dead, in the Tribunal, at Paris, on the 21st April, while confronting his accusers. His body was opened, and there appeared evidences of his having been accessory to his death.
Extract of a Letter from a French Gentleman, to his Brother in Pembroke, dated L'Orient, 3d May, 1795.
"Peace has actually been made, about 15 days ago, between this Republic and Prussia.
"The convention is now framing a treaty of Peace with Spain, who have had three Ambassadors here since January last.
"The English have likewise sent two Ambassadors to try to obtain a Treaty, but the Convention do not incline to listen to any of their terms."
PEACH TREES.—AN EXTRACT.
The peach engrafted on the plum succeeds excellently, and lives longer than it would have done in a natural state; the reason seems to be, that the peach is a tender tree, shoots with vivacity, and produces more branches than the root is able to maintain. Thus the peach trees are usually full of dead wood, and often their large branches perish, and some times the whole trunk. On this occasion, the plum, being a slow shooting tree, communicates its virtue to the graft; and the peach consequently sends out shoots which are more robust and strong, and are more in number than the root is able to supply with nourishment, and consequently the tree is more lasting.
From NEWPORT, June 8.
"Inclosed I send you a list of the passengers who came out in the Medusa frigate, handed me by an Officer belonging to the frigate.

ANECDOE.—Extract from the Republican Francois, the 14th Ventose, (4th March.)
A fact is now reported, which gives a shocking idea of the ferociousness of the monster who had succeeded in subjugating all France. Trial a comedian, and at the same time a magistrate of the people, as was Collot d'Herbois, declared, some minutes before his death, that he died convulsed with remorse for having caused the execution of Madame de St. Amarante, her beautiful daughter, Madame de Sartine, her son aged 16 years, her whole family, and many of their friends. It happened in the following manner:—Robespierre and Trial were admitted into Madame de St. Amarante's house, and were frequently there entertained at dinner. One day Robespierre, intoxicated with liquor, spoke with much indiscretion, and even disclosed some of his purposes in presence of some of the guests and attendants. The next morning, Trial came with eagerness to Robespierre, to remonstrate upon the imprudence he had committed, and exposed to him the dangers he might run by such an indiscretion. Robespierre paused a moment, then only said to Trial, "be not uneasy." Two days after, the whole family and all the servants were guillotined.
SHIP NEWS.
The last cartel from this port for France, arrived in 21 days. The surplus bread she had on board, sold for 10 dollars per hundred.
The Ship Trial, Capt. Perry, has arrived at Havre, from Charleston, with rice. The Paris papers mention, that she passed through a squadron of British ships, who notwithstanding they knew she was destined for France, permitted her to pass unmolested. Rice at the date of our last accounts was 11 crowns per cwt.
Capt. Webster, arrived at Newbury-Port, from Havre, 54 days. Left there, ship Nancy, of New-York—Ships Commerce, Lombard, and Nancy, Butler, of Boston. May 29th, spoke ship Planter, 8 days from Norfolk, for Cork, all well. Capt. Briard, in brig John and Jane, failed from Havre for Portsmouth, 6 days before Capt. W.

Extract from the Cambridge Intelligencer, an English Paper.
INTERESTING AND AUTHENTIC DOCUMENTS RESPECTING THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The people of the United States of America have exploded those principles, by the operation of which, religious oppressions and restrictions of whatever description, have been imposed upon mankind, and, rejecting mere toleration, they have placed upon one common and equal footing every church sect, or society of religious men.
They have exploded, in like manner, those principles by the operation of which civil oppressions have been inflicted upon mankind; and they have made an unexampled progress, in their practice, upon the principles of a free government.
They have, in fact, exhibited to the world the new and interesting spectacle of a whole people meeting, as it were, in their political, plain and voluntarily imposing upon themselves the wholesome and necessary restraints of a just government.
On two occasions, at the distance of four years, personal character and the public interests have produced an orderly and unanimous election of the Chief Magistrate of the United States, without one, even the smallest, effort or measure of procurement.
The execution of the office of Chief Magistrate, has been attended through a term of four years, with a circumstance which to an admiring world requires no commentary:—A native citizen of the United States, transferred from private life to that station, has not, during so long a term, appointed a single relation to any office of honor or emolument.
The independency of the judiciary, as well in the tenure of their stations as in the permanency of their compensations under the federal constitution, is an advantage over the ancient republics, and the generality of modern governments, of inestimable value in regard to liberty, property, and stability.
It has been unfortunate for most nations, as well ancient as modern, that they have had no settled pre-existing mode of altering, amending, or renovating, their political system, to which they could resort without a deviation from the legal course of things, hazarding the public tranquility and often freedom itself. It is equally happy for the people of the United States that in their government there exists a provision, by which those necessary and desirable ends may be obtained, with whatever zeal, without recurring to irregularity or violence.
It is an evident truth that the penal laws of these states have been gradually mitigated since the epocha of their independence; and it is no less true, that the number of crimes does not bear so great a proportion to the population, as was formerly the case, though an universal relaxation on the police took place in the late war. It is an ill symptom of the actual state of things in a society, when mild laws strictly executed, are incompetent to the preservation of order and public happiness.
Their penal codes are, upon the whole among the least sanguinary, and they are not cruel in the few unhappy cases, which impel the community to extremities. The constitution of the United States has extracted all the gall from the punishment of offences against the national society, by correcting the powers of legislating concerning them, with a mildness unknown to the systems of most countries. It is honorable to the humanity and magnanimity of the American people, that this proceeding flowed from them almost unanimously four years after the revolution war. Future ages will do justice to a nation capable of such an effort at a moment so particular.
Taking the United States at large, there are few or no countries in which, at this time, the just demands of private creditors can be obtained by a more certain, a more expeditious, or a less expensive course of legal process. There are some local and a few general defects yet existing; but they are vanishing before the spirit of the general and state constitutions.
In fact, the people of the United States enjoy a peculiar felicity in the possession of principles of government, and of civil and religious liberty, more found, more accurately defined, and more extensively reduced to practice than any preceding republics. There is not one iota of delegating or delegated power, which is not possessed, or may not be acquired by every citizen.
Of the present importance, progressive prosperity, and approaching greatness of the United States, very correct ideas may be formed from the following facts;
The population in the year 1790 amounted, according to the census then taken, to about four millions.
The population of the Eastern and middle States is supposed to double in sixteen years.
That of the southern States in from eighteen to twenty years.
The public debt is smaller in proportion to the present wealth and population of the United States, than the public debt of any other civilized nation.
The United States (including the operation of the individual States) have sunk a much greater proportion of the public debt in the last ten years than any other nation in the world.
The expences of the government are very much less in proportion to wealth and numbers than those of any other nation in Europe.
PHILADELPHIA, June 5.
Capt. Frederickson, from Leghorn, which place he left on the 25th March, informs, That it was believed at Leghorn, that an English 74, which had been severely damaged in the engagement had been lost in a severe gale
of wind which happened soon after. It was also reported that the French had returned to Toulon, and that the British had received a reinforcement from Gibraltar, and the admiral's ship, the Marseilles, which was separated from the rest of the fleet, had got safe at Genoa.
Three English, three Spanish, and two Neapolitan frigates, lay at Leghorn. Shortly after Capt. Frederickson had failed, he fell in with a number of yards, spars, &c. which he concluded to have belonged to one or other of the two fleets. He also passed two Portuguese frigates and two armed brigs in the mouth of the Straits. He adds, that the two states of Barbary, Tunis and Tripoli, were at war with each other; and that he had no account of either the Moors or Algerines being out against the Americans, and says, that he is convinced that the reports which have been for some time past prevalent in America, were at least premature.
BOSTON, June 13.
BRITISH PIRACIES.
The cargo of the Schooner Hibernia, Capt. Merry, of Boston, has been condemned, and sold at Halifax, for a breach of the Revenue or navigation laws. The cargo consisted of wine, rum, molasses, tea, tobacco, boots and shoes, raisins, gin, chocolate, hats, duck, blankets, calico, cloths, cards, iron pots and kettles, beareurs, codlines, stone ware, indigo, &c.
A letter from Halifax, dated May 27. says, "the Schooner Hibernia, Capt. Patrick Merry, was lately brought into this port, upon a charge of smuggling, having been seen at anchor in one of the western harbors of the province. A claim was laid, in behalf of the Master and Freighters, and as it was clearly proved and admitted, that the Schooner had not broke bulk. An acquittal was expected on that ground. Strong testimony, however, appearing, that the cargo had been contracted for, with Merry, by a trader of La Have, who was to have given him fish in return, and other circumstances corroborating to disclose an intention of breaking bulk, when an opportunity offered, the judge took the will for the deed, and sentenced both vessel and cargo, to condemnation, this morning. Upon legal grounds the sentence is manifestly wrong; for whatever might have been the intention of Merry, nothing having been landed or offered for sale, she ought to be acquitted; but the facts in proof created a prejudice fatal to the claims." The above Schooner was taken 8 leagues from the land; and the person who handed this article, and the avowal of it, if necessary, shall not be wanting, avers that if the Judge of the Admiralty who condemned the above Schooner, took the oath to do impartial justice, before he entered on the duties of his office, he is a PERJURED VILLAIN.
Reports have been in circulation, of the sailing of the Emperor of Morocco's cruisers, against the commerce of the United States. We have made diligent inquiry on the subject; and cannot think them accurate—They appear to be no more than a repetition of the accounts published a few weeks since. The vessel at this port, from Gibraltar, and an arrival at Philadelphia from Leghorn, make no mention of the event.
COMMUNICATIONS.
The French Convention, it is said, are about forming another treaty of amity, and friendship, with the king of Spain, and others of the "coallesced despots;" without the privy or consent of the United States!!! What can Mr. MUNROE be about? Possibly, however, Citizen ADER, may have been sent over to solicit our acquiescence.
Had the United States been dragged into a war with the combined powers, as was the design of the Madisonian party: some months since, a famine, with all its horrors, must have desolated France. This the Convention of that Republic acknowledges, in its declaration, that it is from America alone they can look, (in their present necessitous circumstances) for a supply of the necessaries of life. Thus it is, that time is daily unfolding the wisdom and presence of our beloved PRESIDENT, with the friends of Peace in Congress; and as continually developing the folly and blindness of the mad sons of the ancient dominion.
From PHILADELPHIA—June 8.
The SENATE of the UNITED STATES this day assembled pursuant to summons from the Supreme Executive.
—PRESENT—
JOHN ADAMS, President.
John Langden, Samuel Livermore—New Hampshire. Caleb Strong, George Cabot—Massachusetts. Moses Robinson—Vermont. Theodore Foster, William Bradford—Rhode Island. Oliver Ellsworth, Jonathan Trumbull—Connecticut. Rufus King, Aaron Burr—New-York. Jonathan Rutherford—New-Jersey. James Ross, William Bingham—Pennsylvania. Henry Latimer—Delaware. Richard Potts, John Henry, Maryland. Henry Tazewell—Virginia. Alexander Martin, Timothy Bloodworth—North Carolina. John Brown, Humphrey Marshall—Kentucky. Jacob Read—South Carolina. James Jackson—Georgia.
The Supreme Court of the United States, which had been for some time past employed in trying those concerned in the late insurrection, adjourned on Friday. Philip Weigle and John Mitchel, were found guilty of Treason, and condemned to be executed here, on the 17th inst. The trial of James Stuart and Capt. Wright, was postponed till the next court. The others were acquitted. Upon this melancholy occasion, Judge Paterson delivered a
most pathetic address,—which was listened to with the greatest attention, by a numerous audience; and had the most visible effect on the unhappy prisoners. May their melancholy fate deter others from attempting to violate the laws of their country.
ACCOUNTS FROM BAYONNE, *
Dated in May, mention, that though reports of Peace were in circulation, the young men from Bourdeaux southward, had been put in requisition—that large armies were intended to be put in motion against Spain, and the capture of Pampelona, was considered as an event likely speedily to take place. On the other hand, the Spaniards were increasing their armies with spirit.
In confirmation of the above, we have information from a respectable, well-informed gentleman, at Bayonne, who under the date of May 9, writes to his correspondent in this town,—“We have been, for a month past, flattered with the prospect of a peace with Spain; but it is now totally vanished.”
*Bayonne, a seaport of France, near the confines of Spain.
FRENCH ASSIGNS.
It has been reported, that the National Convention of France had passed a decree, making assigns a tender in payment for contracts for cash, at par. This is not true. On a petition of a number of public bodies, praying that the Convention would give to their assigns their true value, and in consequence of the rapid decrease of specie; the Convention decreed, That all contracts made for specie, whether with Foreigners or French citizens, might be paid in assigns at their current course of exchange, at the time of payment. A measure promoted by justice, and not in any degree a breach of good faith.
The following are the principal articles of a report to the Convention respecting them: ARTICLE I. All debts due prior to the present law, may be discharged in assigns at their nominal value.
ART. II. All the sums due between individuals, prior to the present law, may be discharged in assigns, at their nominal value, unless there has been stipulations to the contrary.
ART. III. In future, all citizens have power to dispute in their contracts, either for silver or for assigns.
SOMETHING SINGULAR.
A letter from a Master of a ship belonging to this port, now in France concludes thus—“What is most singular in the conquest of Holland, is the following extraordinary circumstance. A company of French Dragoons in passing over the ice upon the Zuder Zee rode along side a Dutch man of war, boarded and made a prize of her.”
Revision of the Constitution.
The returns of the votes of the citizens of this Commonwealth, on the revision of the Constitution, are completed. The whole numbers are,
Table with 2 columns: For a revision (8096), Against a revision (8227)
Thus by a majority of more than 131, have our citizens expressed their approbation of a form of government, which has been in operation fifteen years. Perhaps the highest compliment ever paid to an institution of this kind.
By the London entries of Monday's packet, we learn that a park of artillery, consisting of 21 pieces of cannon, and 500 barrels of gun powder, were shipped for Belfast, on Friday; and 200 barrels were shipped for Dublin in addition to the 1000 sent before.
NEWBURYPORT, June 9.
On Tuesday evening last a man by the name of Foote was taken up at Newbury on suspicion of Theft. He has been lurking about here for some time past and has threatened the lives of any who should attempt to take him. On Tuesday a-house where he has frequented was searched by an officer but he could not be found. About eleven in the evening, however, an officer with several assistants entered the house with a lantern, found him asleep on a bed with an axe lying by the bedside, and a large club in his hand, and on finding himself taken he exerted himself but was finally overpowered, but not till he had stabbed the officer in each side with a sharp knife, providentially the wounds are not dangerous—he was finally secured in gaol, several articles were found, which were supposed to be stolen by him, a horse was found tied in a pasture at a little distance, which was doubtless put there by him as no person is yet found to own him.
JUNE 13.
From WEST-INDIES.
An extract of a letter from a French gentleman in Marblehead, to his friend in this town says, “A person who failed from Fort-Royal in Martinique, the 16th May, has arrived in this town, and brings an account that the English had received intelligence that Major Malcom was killed in the last engagement at St. Lucia, and all his men, between 3 and 400, perished in the action—That the Morne Fortune is entirely surrounded by the Republican troops, and that the English were entirely cut off from all communication with the sea.”
