CONVENTION
Between the French Republic and the United States of America.
THE First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French People, and the President of the United States of America, equally animated with a desire to put an end to the differences which have arisen between the two States, have respectively nominated their Plenipotentiaries, and invested them with full powers to negotiate upon the differences and terminate them: That is to say, the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French People, has nominated for Plenipotentiaries of the said Republic, the Citizens Joseph Bonaparte, Ex-Ambassador of the French Republic at Rome, and Counsellor of State; Charles-Pierre Claret-Fleurieu, Member of the National Institute, and of the Office of Longitude of France, and Counsellor of State, President of the Section of Marine; and Pierre-Louis Raderer, Member of the National Institute, and Counsellor of State, President of the Section of the Interior; and the President of the United States of America, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate of said States, has appointed for their Plenipotentiaries Oliver Ellsworth, Chief Justice of the United States, William Richardson Davie, ci-devant Governor of North-Carolina, and William Vans Murray, Resident Minister of the United States at the Hague:
Who, after having exchanged their full powers, and patiently and carefully discussed their respective interests, have agreed to the following articles:
Art. I. There shall be a firm, inviolable and universal peace, and true and sincere friendship between the French Republic and the United States of America, as well between their countries, territories, cities, and places as between their citizens and inhabitants, without exception of persons or places.
II. The Ministers Plenipotentiary of the two parties, not being empowered at present to agree relative to the treaty of alliance of the 6th of February, 1778, to the treaty of friendship and commerce of the same date, and to the convention of the 14th of November, nor to the indemnities mutually due and claimed, the parties shall further negotiate upon these points at a convenient time; and until they shall be agreed upon these points, the said treaties and convention shall have no effect, and the relations of the two nations shall be regulated as follows:
III. The ships belonging to the State taken on either side or which may be taken before the exchange of ratifications shall be given up.
IV. The properties captured and not yet definitively condemned, or which may be captured before the exchange of ratifications, except contraband merchandise destined for an enemy's port, shall be mutually restored upon the following proofs of property, viz.
On the one part and on the other, the proofs of property relative to merchant vessels armed or unarmed shall be a passport in the following form:
"To all those to whom these presents shall come, be it known, that power and permission has been given to _____ Master or Commander of the vessel called the _____ of the city of _____ of the burthen of _____ tons, or thereabouts, now lying in the port or harbour of _____, and destined for _____, laden with _____, that after his ship has been visited, and before his departure, he shall make oath before officers authorised for that purpose, that the said ship belongs to one or more subjects of _____, the execution of which form shall be annexed to these presents, in order that he may observe and cause to be observed by his crew the maritime ordinances and regulations, and give in a list signed and attested, containing the names and surnames, places of birth and abode, of the persons composing the crew of his ship, and of all on board her, whom he shall not receive on board without the knowledge and permission of the officers authorised for that purpose; and in every port and harbour where he shall enter with his ship, he shall show the present permission to the proper officers, and make to them a faithful report of all that has passed during his voyage, and carry the colours, arms, and flags of the French Republic or the United States, during his said voyage; in testimony of which we have signed these presents, caused them to be countersigned by _____, and thereunto put the seal of our arms."
"Given at _____, in the year of our Lord _____"
And this passport shall be sufficient without any other document, notwithstanding any regulation to the contrary.
It shall not be necessary to renew or revoke this passport, whatever number of voyages the said ship shall have made, unless they shall not have returned home within the space of a year.
With respect to the cargo the proofs shall be certificates, containing an account what place the ship has left, and where it is going to, so that prohibited and contraband merchandise may be distinguished by certificates, which certificates shall have been made by the officers of the place from whence the ship shall have set out, agreeable to the accustomed forms of the country. And if these passports or certificates, or both, shall have been destroyed by accident, or taken away by force, the want of them shall be supplied by every other proof of property admissible according to the general usage of nations.
For other ships beside merchant ships the proof shall be the commissions they bear. This article shall take effect from the date of the signature of the present Convention; and if by the date of the said signature property shall have been condemned contrary to the spirit of the said Convention, and previous to the knowledge of this stipulation, the property so condemned shall be restored or paid for.
V. The debts contracted by either of the two nations towards the individuals of each shall be acquitted, or the payment shall be in course, as if there had been no misunderstanding between the two states; but this clause shall not extend to indemnities claimed for captures or condemnations.
VI. The trade between the two parties shall be free; the ships of the two nations, and their privateers, as well as their prizes, shall be treated in their respective ports as those of the most favored nation, and in general the two parties shall enjoy in each others ports, with respect to commerce and navigation, the same privileges as the most favored nations.
VII. The citizens and inhabitants of the United States may dispose by will, donation, or otherwise, of their goods; moveable and immovable property possessed in the European territory of the French Republic, and the citizens of the French Republic shall have the same power with regard to the goods, moveable and immovable property possessed in the territory of the United States; in favor of such persons as they shall think proper. The citizens and inhabitants of one of the two States, who shall be heirs of the goods, moveable or immovable property situate in the other, may succeed ab intestat , without there being any necessity for letters of neutrality, and without the effect of this stipulation being contested or impeached under any pretence whatever; and the said heirs, whether by private right, or ab intestat , shall be exempt from all right whatever of any one in either of the two nations. It is agreed that this article shall not derogate in any manner from the laws which are now in force, in either of the two nations, or which may be promulgated hereafter against emigration; and also, that in case the laws of either of the two states shall limit to foreigners the exercise of the right of immovable property; such immovable property may be sold, or otherwise disposed, in favor of the inhabitants or citizens of the country where they shall be situate; and it shall be open to the other nation to establish similar laws.
VIII. To favour the commerce of both nations, it is agreed, that if war (which God forbid) should break out between the two nations, the merchants and other citizens, or respective inhabitants, shall be allowed on both sides six months after the declaration of war, during which period they shall have time to retire, with their effects and moveables, which they may carry away, or sell, as they shall think proper, without the least impeachment, their effects, and still less their persons, shall not, during the period of six months, be seized. On the contrary, they shall have passports, which shall be valid for the time necessary to enable them to return home, and those passports shall be given for themselves, as well as for their ships and effects which they shall desire to take or send away. These passports shall serve as protections against all insults and all captures on the part of privateers, as well with regard to themselves as their effects; and if within the term above-mentioned there shall have been committed by one of the parties, its citizens, or inhabitants, any wrong towards their persons or their property, they shall have complete satisfaction.
IX. The debts due by individuals of one of the two nations to the individuals of the other shall not, in case of war or national dispute, be sequestered or confiscated, no more than the claims or funds which shall be found in the public funds, or in the public or private banks.
X. The two contracting parties may nominate for the protection of trade Commercial Agents, who shall reside in France and the United States. Each of the parties may accept such place as it shall judge proper, where the residence shall be fixed. Before any agent can exercise his functions, he must be accepted according to the
received forms of the party to which he is sent, and when he shall have received and provided with his exequatur, he shall enjoy the rights and prerogatives which are enjoyed by similar agents of the most favoured nations.
XI. The citizens of the French Republic shall not pay, in any ports, harbors, roads, countries, islands, cities, and places of the United States, other or greater duties or imposts, of whatever nature soever they may be, and whatever names they may have, then those which the most favoured nations are or shall be bound to pay; and they shall enjoy all rights, liberties, privileges, immunities, and exemptions, relating to trade, navigation, and commerce, whether in passing from one part of the said states to another, or whether in going there or returning from some part to any part of the world, that the said nations enjoy, or shall enjoy, and reciprocally the citizens of the United States shall enjoy in the territory of the French Republic, in Europe, the same privileges, and immunities, as well for their goods as their persons, as for what concerns trade, navigation, and commerce.
XII. The citizens of the two nations may conduct their vessels and their merchandise (always excepting such as are contraband) from any port to another belonging to the enemy of the other nation. They may navigate and commerce, with full liberty and security, with their ships and merchandise, in the countries, ports, and places of the enemies of the two parties, or of the one or the other party, without obstacles or interruption, and not only pass directly from the places and ports of the enemy above mentioned to neutral ports and places, and from every port belonging to an enemy, whether it be or be not subject to the same jurisdiction, unless those places or ports shall be really blockaded, besieged, or invested.
And in case, as it often happens, when vessels shall be sailing for places or ports belonging to an enemy, ignorant that they are blockaded, besieged, or invested, it is agreed that every ship which shall be found under such a predicament shall be turned from that place or port without any part of its cargo being retained or confiscated (unless it shall be contraband, or it shall be proved that the said ship, after having been informed of the blockade or investiture, attempted to enter the same port,) but it shall be allowed to go to any other port or place it shall think proper. No ship of either nation, entered in a port or place before it shall have been really blockaded, besieged, or invested by the other, shall be prevented from going out with its cargo; if it shall be there when the said place shall surrender, the ship and cargo shall not be confiscated, but sent away to the proprietors.
XIII. To regulate what shall be understood by contraband warlike stores, under this denomination shall be comprised powder, saltpetre, petards, matches, balls, bullets, bombs, grenades, carcases, pikes, halberts, swords, belts, pistols, scabbards, saddles, harness, cannons, mortars, with their carriages, and generally all arms and ammunitions of war and utensils for the use of troops. All the above articles, whenever they shall be destined for an enemy's port, are declared contraband, and justly subject to confiscation; but the ship in which they shall be laden, as well as the rest of the cargo, shall be considered as free, and shall in no manner be vitiated by the contraband merchandise, whether they belong to the same or different proprietors.
XIV. It is stipulated by the present treaty, that the free ships shall equally assure the liberty of merchandise, and that all things shall be deemed free, which are found on board ships belonging to the citizens of one of the contracting parties, even tho' the same, or part of it, shall belong to the enemies of one of the two; provided, nevertheless, that contraband goods are always excepted. It is likewise agreed, that this same liberty shall extend to persons who may be on board the free ship, though they should be enemies of one of the two contracting parties, and they shall not be taken from the said free ships, unless they are in a military capacity, and actually in the service of the enemy.
XV. It is on the contrary agreed that all property which shall be put, by the respective citizens, on board ships belonging to an enemy of either party, or their subjects, shall be confiscated without distinction of merchandise, prohibited or not prohibited, so and in like manner as if it belonged to an enemy, with the exception always of property and effects which shall have been put on board the said ships before the declaration of war, or even after the said declaration, if at the time of landing, the party were ignorant of it; so that the merchandise of citizens of the two parties, whether they be in the number of
contraband or not, which, as has been already said, shall have been put on board a ship belonging to an enemy before the war, or even after the said declaration of war, in ignorance of it, shall not be in any manner subject to confiscation, but shall be faithfully, and truly given up without delay to the owners claiming them, provided nevertheless that they shall not be permitted to carry into the enemies ports merchandise which shall be contraband. The two contracting powers agree, that after a term of two months has passed from the declaration, their respective citizens, in whatever part of the world they may be, shall not be at liberty to plead the ignorance mentioned in this article.
XVI. Merchant vessels belonging to citizens of either of the contracting powers, when they shall have a mind to pass to the port of an enemy of the one or the other, and that their voyage as well as the nature of their cargo shall afford just cause of suspicion, the said ship shall be obliged to exhibit at high sea, as well as in ports and roads, not only their passports, but further their certificates, proving that these goods are not of the class of contraband specified in the 13th article of the present convention.
XVII. And in order to prevent captures on frivolous suspicions, and the damage thus resulting, it is agreed that when one of the two powers shall be at war, and the other neutral, the vessels of the neutral party shall be provided with passports similar to those specified in the 4th article, so that it may thence appear that the parties belong to a neutral party. These passports shall be valid for any number of voyages whatever; but they shall be renewed every year, if the ship returns home within the space of a year. If these ships are laden, they shall be provided not only with the passports above mentioned, but also with certificates of the description of those mentioned in the same article, so that it may be known whether they have on board contraband goods. No other paper shall be required, all usages and regulations to the contrary notwithstanding; and if it should appear from these certificates that there is not contraband merchandise on board, the said ships shall be left to pursue their destination. If on the contrary, it should appear from these certificates that the said ships have contraband merchandise on board, and the Commander offers to deliver them up, the offer shall be accepted, and the ship left at liberty to prosecute her voyage, unless the quantity of contraband goods should be too great to admit of being taken on board of the ship of war or cruiser; in this case the ship shall be carried into port for the purpose of their delivering the said goods.
Should a ship be bound without the passports or the certificates above required, the business shall be examined by competent judges or tribunals; and if it should appear from other documents or proofs admissible by the law of nations, that the ship belongs to citizens of the neutral power, it shall not be condemned, and it shall be set at liberty with its cargo, contraband goods excepted, and shall have leave to prosecute its voyage.
Should the captain named in the passport, happen to die or be removed, and another shall have been appointed in his place, the ship and cargo shall be nevertheless secure, and the passport shall remain in full force.
XVIII. If the vessels belonging to citizens of the one nation or the other shall be met along the coast, or on the high seas, by any ship of war or cruiser belonging to the other, to prevent all disorder, the said ships or cruisers shall keep beyond the reach of cannon shot, and shall send their boat on board the merchant vessel so met with. They shall not be allowed to send on board more than two or three men to demand from the master or captain of the ship the exhibition of his passport concerning the property of said ship, executed agreeable to the form prescribed in the 4th article, as also the certificates above-mentioned relative to the cargo. It is expressly agreed that the neutral captain shall not be obliged to go on board the visiting ship for the purpose of there showing the papers demanded, or for any other information whatever.
XIX. It is expressly agreed by the parties, that the above stipulations relative to the conduct to be observed at sea by the cruisers of the belligerent party towards the vessels of the neutral party shall apply only to ships sailing without convoy; and in case when the said ships shall be convoyed, the intention of the parties being to observe all the respect due to the protection of the flag hoisted on board ships of the state, no visit shall be made. But the verbal declaration of the commander of the escort, that the ships, under his convoy belong to the nation, whose flag he carries, and that they have not any thing contraband on board, shall be taken by the respective cruisers as amply sufficient. The two parties bind themselves re-
ciprocally not to admit under protection of their convoys any vessels carrying contraband merchandise destined for an enemy.
XX. In case when the ships shall be taken or stop, under alleged grounds of their carrying any contraband articles to the enemy, the captor shall give a receipt of the ship's papers which he shall detain, which receipt shall be subjoined to a declaratory list of the said papers. He shall not be permitted to force open the hatches, coffer, chests, drawers, bales, &c. found on board ships, nor to carry off the smallest article of the effects, before the cargo has been disembarked in presence of the officers competent to make an inventory of the said effects. They cannot in any manner be sold, exchanged, or alienated, unless, after a legal process, the competent judge or judges have passed upon the said effects a sentence of confiscation (excepting always the ship and the other objects that it contains.)
XXI. In order that the vessel and the cargo may be watched with care, and in order to prevent mistakes, it is decreed that the master, captain, or supercargo of the captured ship cannot be taken from on board, either while the ship is at sea, after being taken, during the proceedings against it, its cargo, or any thing relative to it.
In case of the ship belonging to either party being taken, seized, and retained for judgment, its officers, passengers and crews shall be treated with humanity; they cannot be imprisoned nor robbed of their clothes or pocket money, not exceeding for the captain, supercargo and second, five hundred dollars each, and for the sailors and passengers, one hundred dollars each.
XXII. It is moreover agreed on, that in every case the tribunals appointed for prize causes in the countries whither the prizes shall be taken, shall alone be competent to try them; and every judgment which the tribunal of either party pronounces against a ship, or merchandise, or property reclaimed by the citizens of the other party, the sentence or decree shall make mention of the reasons or motives which have determined this judgment, of which an authentic copy, as well as of all the proceedings relative to it, shall on their requisition, be delivered without delay to the captain or agent of the said ship, after paying the expenses.
XXIII. And finally, in order more effectually to provide for the respective security of the citizens of the two contracting parties, and to prevent the injuries to be feared from ships of war or privateers of either party, all the commanders of ships of war or privateers, and all the citizens of both parties, shall refrain from all violence against one another and from every personal insult. If they act in a contrary manner they shall be punished and bound over in their persons and properties to give satisfaction & reparation for the damage, with interest, of whatever kind the said damage may be.
To this effect all the Captains of privateers, before receiving their commissions, shall become bound before a competent judge, to give security by two responsible cautions at least, who shall have no interest in the said privateer, and whom each, as well as the Captain, shall engage individually for the sum of 7,000 dollars, or 36,820 francs, if the said vessels carry more than 150 sailors or soldiers, for the sum of 15,000 dollars, or 73,670 francs, which shall serve to repair the damage that the said privateers, their officers, or crews, or any of them, shall have committed during their cruise contrary to the dispositions of the present Convention, or to the laws and instructions which ought to be the rule of their conduct; besides this, the said commission shall be revoked and annulled in every case where an aggression has been committed.
XXIV. When the ships of war of the two contracting parties, or those which their citizens shall have armed, shall be admitted with their prizes into the ports of either of the two parties, the said public or private vessels, as well as their prizes, shall not be obliged to pay any duties, either to the officers of the place, or to the judges, or to any others. The said prizes entering in the harbors or ports of one of the two parties, shall not be arrested or seized, and the officers of the place shall not take cognizance of the validity of the said prizes, which are to be suffered to go out, and be conducted with full freedom and liberty to their ports, by the commissions which the Captains of the said vessels shall be obliged to show. It is always understood, that the stipulations of this article, shall not extend beyond the privileges of the most favored nations.
XXV. All foreign privateers having commissions from a State, or Prince at war with one or other nation cannot arm their vessels in the ports of either nation, or dispose of their prizes there, or in any manner

exchange them. They shall not be allowed to buy provision further than the necessary quantity to gain the nearest port of the State or Prince from whom they shall have received their commissions.
XXVI. It is further agreed that neither of the two contracting parties shall receive pirates in its ports, roads or cities, and shall not permit any of the inhabitants to receive, protect, support, or conceal them in any manner, but shall deliver up to due punishment such of its inhabitants as shall be guilty of the like acts or crimes; the ships of those pirates, as well as their effects and merchandise, shall be seized wherever they shall be discovered, and restored to their proprietors, agents, or factors, duly authorized by them, after having proved their right before judges competent to decide respecting the property.
If the said effects have passed by sale into other hands, and the purchasers were, or might be informed, or have suspected that the said effects were carried away by pirates, they shall be equally restored.
XXVII. Neither of the two nations shall interfere in the fisheries of the other upon its coasts, nor disturb it in the exercise of the rights which it now has, or may acquire on the coasts of Newfoundland, in the Gulf of St. Laurence or elsewhere on the coast of America, or the north of the United States; but the whale and seal fishery shall be free for the two nations in all parts of the world.
The Convention shall be ratified on both sides in due form and the ratifications shall be exchanged in the space of six months, or sooner if it be possible. In faith whereof the respective Plenipotentiaries have signed the above articles as well in the French as in the English language, and have placed their seals, declaring nevertheless that the signature in two languages shall be cited as an example, and shall not prejudice either of the two parties.

Late Foreign Intelligence.
Of Peace and War.
FRANKFORT, OCT. 18.
THE question of peace or war has never been so difficult to resolve as at this moment. While France and its allies are naming the ministers who are to assist at the Congress, we have seen only the Emperor (on the other side as King of Hungary and Bohemia,) discover any design of sending ministers to treat of his interest. None of the allies of Austria, as England, Naples, the King of Sardinia, the Princes of the Empire, and particularly the Elector of Bavaria, appear ready to meet on these negotiations, notwithstanding the preparations which the French have caused to be made at Luneville, announcing that several ministers were now there. But while France and Austria are exhibiting, in this respect, pacific mentions, the extraordinary levies in all the states of the House of Austria, the formation at Dijon, of a third army of reserve, a body of 15,000 English which is ready to embark at Leghorn, Russian troops passing the Dardanelles to enter the Kingdom of Naples, the King of the Two Sicilies all ready for the formation of a new army of 60,000 men, disclose projects of hostility. Why do we behold a formidable army of 200,000 men assembled by the Emperor of Russia, upon the frontiers of Galicia, &c. In a word, why are there such vast preparations? To all these things we can only answer by a well known axiom If you wish for peace prepare for war , and wait the event.
VIENNA, OCT. 15.
Letters from Italy inform us, that an Austrian army was formed in Romania, to which all the allies are to be joined.
The Russian army in Galicia, is daily reinforced.
The Hungarians are rising en masse , to assist the Emperor. Some of them are already on the march.
PARIS, OCT. 17.
Bonaparte has been employed with Talleyrand, and other politicians, to lay a foundation for a general peace; and a new code of the Laws of Nations—which will be communicated to the belligerent and neutral nations for their concurrence.
Conspiracy against Bonaparte's LIFE.
PARIS, OCT. 14. Some time since, the Police had information, that robbers and incendiaries had it in contemplation to set fire to the theatre, and in the tumult to rob and plunder. On the 10th, at the theatre, at the moment when they were to put their design into execution, they were arrested by the police officers. On some of them were found fire matches and other combustibles and from this extraordinary circumstance much confusion and many affections were expected. It was conjectured, that the life of the First Consul was the object—and of course, that none but Jacobins could be concerned in it. They have been arrested, and daggers and pistols have been found on them. This story has been reported in so many ways, that the official journal has assured the public, that the vigilance of the Police had developed the conspiracy; that the greater part of the conspirators had been arrested.—And that the play went on without a moment's interruption.
During the first days of the second decade of vendemiaire (2d and 3d October) one Demerville distributed money to certain suspected persons, who had resorted to him for that and other purposes. On the 9th Oct. it was ascertained that eleven of these persons had fixed on a day and hour to assassinate the First Consul, which was to take place at the theatre. These people being known, the police took proper measures to watch them. The next day two of these assassins were arrested: both of them Italians by birth. One of them Caracchi , was apprehended in the passage behind the boxes; both were armed with daggers. Dermiville , and others concerned, were arrested during the night. He and Caracchi have discovered the whole plot; they were both accomplices in the murders of September and at Verfailles , and were hardened in their crimes. Caracchi , who was a sculptor, had been for some time executing the bust of the First Consul, who had frequently sat for the purpose.
Barrene, Debrum, Lumparque , and other Ex-Contentionalists, are implicated in the plot, and have been arrested.
The conspiracy was discovered by an emigrant, who had agreed with the conspirators on the day and hour in which their purpose should be accomplished, and discovered the whole to the First Consul. Immediately on this, Bonaparte, fearful that the assassins might accomplish their designs, and that the republic should not be in commotion by his loss, appointed Gen. Moreau as his successor; four couriers were accordingly, immediately dispatched to him.
The members of the Council of State, with the liveliest emotions, heard of this conspiracy against the life of the First Consul. They congratulated him, with great respect, on the defeat of the conspiracy; assured him that they would search into the bottom of the horrid design, and bring the authors to condign punishment; and of their undiminished confidence in him.
OCTOBER 17.—When the troops at the camp at Amiens were informed of the conspiracy against Bonaparte, they urged to be marched immediately to Paris. Only 50 however, had permission; and yesterday with their knapsacks at their backs, they addressed the First Consul, and in a laconic manner described the devotion of their comrades of the army to him.
Yesterday the Members of the Tribunate waited on the First Consul, in company with his two colleagues, the Ministers and Counsellors of State. Grassou, the President of the Tribunate, addressed Bonaparte, and expressed a wish to discover the authors of the conspiracy, that they might receive
due punishment. Bonaparte, in answer, said, "That it would not be in the power of eight or nine assassins to take his life, while the public confidence was reposed in him, and he was surrounded by his brave guard." And added, "if it should ever be the case, that he had lost that confidence, his life was of no estimate to him."
Many persons are daily arrested, who are more or less concerned in the conspiracy. One Ehrhardt is arrested, who, during the reign of terror, was a Member of the Revolutionary Tribunal.
Caracchi has discovered every thing.—The Caracchi is the same person, who is mentioned by Joseph Bonaparte, when Ambassador at Rome, in his report of the revolution there; and is the person who assassinated Gen. Dufour. When Caracchi left Rome, he went to America, and from thence to France. He advertised, that he would finish the bust of Bonaparte, and wished that he would allow him one sitting more, to accomplish his designs; and the day before he was arrested, he petitioned Madame Bonaparte to prevail on her husband to give him one more sitting.
An order is issued, that every Italian shall quit France, in 24 hours, and be furnished with passports for Milan. The Corsican Arena, who drew a dagger on Bonaparte at St. Cloud, is one of the leaders of the conspiracy.
It is asserted, that Gen. Moreau has arrived in Paris.
OCTOBER 15.—This day the First Consul will review 6,000 chosen grenadiers and chasseurs.
A great event is now in the womb of time; which threatens to develop itself every hour.
PARIS, OCT. 14.
The Candidates proposed to fill the office of Minister of the French Republic to the United States of America, are La Fayette, the Counsellor of State Regnault de St. Jean d'Angely, and Bureau de Pufy. The Commercial Commissioners for the various ports in America, will also be nominated.
OCT. 13.
It is said, that a daughter of Gen. Fayette will be married to Lucien Bonaparte; and we are assured, that La Fayette will be sent as a Minister to the United States of America.
During Bonaparte's stay at Morfontaine, the Prefect of the Department presented him with a number of gold medals, some time since found in an earthen vessel. They were of good preservation and of ancient dates:—Some of them as early as the first years of the Roman Empire; and others in the days of that Republic. The prefect observed, that those missing from the vessel in which these were found, would be hard to come at; as the possessors of them were fearful, that the government as in former times, would claim them as its right. "In our times," said Bonaparte, "the government will not oppose the good fortune of the citizens; but care must be taken that they be not melted, as they will be useful in developing ancient history.—Therefore, buy up as many of them as you can!" Those that were presented to Bonaparte he gave to Mr. Davie, the American Commissioner.
A reform will be made in the French cavalry, as well as in the Infantry—Three regiments will be reduced to two; by which derangement a reduction of eight thousand officers will be made.
COPENHAGEN, OCT. 7.
As the Court of Denmark has never had any diplomatic Minister in the United States of America, and as the commercial intercourse between the two nations is increased, the Court have appointed the Consul at Morocco, Blicher Olsen, to proceed next spring to the city of Washington, as the place of his residence.
BRITISH HOUSE OF LORDS, Nov. 11
KING'S SPEECH.
About 3 in the afternoon His Majesty went in the usual state to the House of Peers, where, being seated on the Throne, and the Commons being in attendance below the Bar, he delivered the following most gracious SPEECH:—
My Lords and Gentlemen, My tender concern for the welfare of my Subjects, and a sense of the difficulties with which the poorer Classes particularly have to struggle, from the present high Prices of Provisions, have induced Me to call you together at an earlier period than I had otherwise intended. No object can be dearer My Heart than that, by your care and wisdom, all such Measures may be adopted as may, upon full consideration, appear best calculated to alleviate this severe pressure, and to prevent the danger of its recurrence by promoting, as far as possible, the permanent extension and improvement of our Agriculture.
For the object of immediate relief, your attention will naturally be directed, in the first instance, to the best mode of affording the earliest and most ample encouragement for the Importation of all descriptions of Grain from abroad.
Such a Supply, aided by the examples which you have set on former occasions, of attention to economy and frugality in the consumption of Corn, is most likely to contribute to a reduction in the present high price and to insure, at the same time, the means of meeting the demands for the necessary consumption of the year.
The present circumstances will also, I am persuaded, render the state of the Laws respecting the Commerce in the various articles of Provisions the object of your serious deliberation.
If on the result of that deliberation, it shall appear to you that the evil necessarily arising from unfavourable Seasons has been increased by any undue combination, or fraudulent practices, for the sake of adding unfairly to the price, you will feel an earnest desire of effectually preventing such a-
bus; but you will, I am sure, be careful to distinguish any practices of this nature from that regular and long-established course of trade which experience has shown to be indispensable, in the present state of Society, for the supply of the markets, and for the subsistence of My People.
You will have seen with concern the temporary disturbances which have taken place in some parts of the kingdom. Those malicious and disaffected persons who cruelly take advantage of the present difficulties to excite any of My Subjects to acts of violation in the Laws and of the Public Peace, are in the present circumstances doubly criminal, as such proceedings must necessarily and immediately tend to increase, in the highest degree the evil complained of, while they at the same time, endanger the permanent tranquillity of the Country on which the well being of the industrious classes of the community must always principally depend.
The voluntary exertions which have on this occasion been made for the immediate repression of these outrages and in support of the Laws and Public Peace, are therefore entitled to My highest praise.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons, Under the circumstances of the present meeting, I am desirous of asking of you such supplies only as may be necessary for carrying on the public service, till the Parliament of the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland may conveniently be assembled. The estimates for that purpose will be laid before you; and I have no doubt of your readiness to make such provision as the public interests may appear to require.
My Lords and Gentlemen, I have directed copies to be laid before you of those communications which have recently passed between Me and the French Government, respecting the commencement of Negotiations for Peace. You will see in them fresh and striking proofs of My earnest desire to contribute to the re-establishment of a general tranquillity. That desire on My part has hitherto been unhappily frustrated, by the determination of the Enemy to enter only on a separate Negotiation in which it was impossible for Me to engage, consistently, either with public faith, or with a due regard to the permanent security of Europe.
My anxiety for the speedy restoration of Peace remains unaltered, and there will be no obstacle or delay on My part to the adoption of such measures as may best tend to promote and accelerate that desirable end, consistently with the Honour of this Country and the true interest of My People: But if the dispositions of our enemies should continue to render this great object of all My Wishes unattainable, without the sacrifice of these essential considerations, on the maintenance of which all its advantages must depend you will I am confident, persevere in affording Me the same loyal and ready support, which I have experienced through the whole of this important contest, and which has, under the blessing of Providence enabled Me, during a period of such unexampled difficulty and calamity to all the surrounding nations, to maintain unimpaired the security and honour of these kingdoms.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—NOV. 12. Mr. Tierney gave notice, that he should this day fortnight move for a committee of the whole on the state of the Nation; and moved for a call of the House for that day. Mr. Pitt opposed this latter motion; and on taking the question there were, ayes 24, nays 120.
The answer to his Majesty's Speech was disapproved by most of the opposition members—and they took occasion to inveigh against the war, and the incapacity of the ministers.
SCARCITY OF PROVISIONS.
An account of the quantities of grain imported from Jan. 4. to Oct. 4. was ordered to be laid before Parliament.—A bill was reported prohibiting the use of corn in distilleries and in making starch; and prohibiting the exportation of rice, and provisions. The opposition members imputed the scarcity to the war, and insisted there was no complete remedy but in peace. The ministerial members denied this assertion, and imputed it to other causes.
The following Resolutions, for lessening the scarcity of grain and provisions were agreed to.
That the average price of Corn imported into this Kingdom should be published in the London Gazette.
That it is the opinion of this committee, that there be granted on every Quarter of Wheat weighing 450 lb. imported into the port of London, or any of the outports, on or before the first day of October 1801, the sum by which the average price of the said Wheat shall be sold in three weeks after importation, published in the London Gazette, shall be less than 100/ per quarter.
On every quarter of Barley weighing 350 lb. imported and sold as above, the sum which the average price in the London Gazette, shall be less than 45/ per quarter.
On every quarter of Rye weighing 408 lb. where the average price shall be less than 35/ per quarter.
On every quarter of Oats weighing 280 lb. where the average price shall be less than 30/ per quarter.
On every barrel of superfine Flour, weighing 196 lb. imported as above, and sold within two months the sum by which average price shall be less than 68/ per bbl.
On every cwt. of American Rice, imported as above, and sold within two months, the sum by which the average price shall be less than 35/.
On every cwt. of East-Indian Rice, imported as above, and sold within 4 months, the sum by which the average price shall be less than 32/.
PARIS, OCT. 24. Citizen Pichon is appointed French Commissary General to reside at Philadelphia.
He will act as Charge d'affairs until a Minister is sent out.
The Duke of Brunswick, a Dutch ship of 50 guns, has been captured in the Straights of Sunda.
NOV. 6. The invasion of Tuscany was in consequence of the rising of the people, and their subsequent operations against the French; and to prevent the English from landing troops to assist them. The day after the French obtained possession of Leghorn, an English fleet with 12000 troops appeared off that place. The proceedings of the French in this business is no violation of the armistice. [The London Editors appear to be of quite a different opinion.]
NOV. 7. Joseph Bonaparte, and the Count de Cobentzel, who has visited Paris, have just set out for Luneville, to join the Congress.
CADIZ, OCT. 26. Lt. Keith, with his fleet, has withdrawn from before this city. It is said, the contagion which has prevailed here, has made its appearance, in an alarming manner, on board the English ships.

The Coromandel of 54 guns is totally lost.
An expedition destined against South-America is nearly ready. Sir Home Popham will command it. Five or six regiments will be employed.
NOV. 11.
The King has issued his Proclamation for convening the united Parliament, pursuant to the union with Ireland, on the 22d day of January.
NOV. 13.
Count Cobentzel, who is at Paris from Vienna, has dispatched a Courier, with some important letters to our government; which have been answered, and the courier has returned.
A serious difference exists between the Emperor of Germany and the Elector of Bavaria. The Minister of the latter has been withdrawn from Vienna.—The English continue raising recruits on the continent.
A letter from Lt. Paul, of the Neriede frigate at Curacoa, says, he has the famous Victor Hugues, under his care as a prisoner; that he was taken proceeding to Curacoa, while it was supposed the French had obtained possession of the island.
NOV. 14.

The sloops of war Pellican and Herick, are lost. Crews saved.
Ld. Nelson is to have a command in the Channel Fleet.
The French funds have lately experienced a fall; and orders have been given for the movement of the troops. These are disagreeable omens to the friends of peace.
L. Bonaparte is gone to Russia, and his commission is conjectured to be connected with the subject of peace, or to neutralize that power if war is renewed.
Letters from Mannheim, Oct. 31, state, that the Austrian Army have received orders to be in readiness to march; and the resumption of hostilities is expected.
Caracchi and 19 accomplices, have been delivered to the criminal tribunal, for conspiring against the life of Bonaparte.
RUSSIANS. There is no doubt but large armies are in preparation. Some accounts say, that they are to assist the Emperor if war is renewed: Other accounts declare they will operate against him if he does not become more humble in his designs!
NORFOLK, Dec. 9.
On Sunday General Davie, one of our Envoys to France, left this place on his way to the Seat of Government. On his embarkation he was saluted by the United States frigate Augusta, capt. M'Elroy. Although we are compelled to acquiesce in the imposing duty that hastened his departure, it is to be regretted his short stay would not afford the citizens (as was intended) an opportunity to give him some public testimonial of their esteem.
Called upon by the executive authority, and associated with others to conduct an important negotiation, involving in its consequences, the great interests of the community, that gentleman readily obeyed the summons, relinquished his domestic enjoyments and the highest honors of his native state, to promote by his best efforts the public welfare—leading us to the path of peace. The result will no doubt prove both honorable to himself and be beneficial to our country; and his labors rewarded with the sanction of the legitimate authorities, and the approving voice of his fellow citizens.
ALEXANDRIA, DEC. 10.
Last evening arrived here from Norfolk, citizen Dubruege. We are informed that this gentleman lately came out from France as Consul for Cape Francois. Immediately on his arrival in St. Domingo, he was sent by Toussaint Louverture, with dispatches for the government of the United States. He left this place for the city of Washington this morning.
We are informed, that a proclamation was lately issued by Toussaint, commanding the Negroes to return to the plantations to which they belonged and go to work; in consequence of which a mutiny broke out among the Blacks, which was quelled by 12 of the ringleaders being executed.
PHILADELPHIA, DEC. 9.
Extra of a letter.
"At a late election in Mifflin county, a farmer, named Deviny, while casting up the votes, said they amounted to 10 many, and a squire M'Connell, standing by contradicted him, on which Deviny jocosely said, I will bet my ear it is so. The other secretly pulled out his pen knife behind him, and upon the amount being called out by the clerk, instantly cut off part of his ear. The grand democratic jury of this democratic county, returned the bill IGNORAMUS!"
NEW-YORK, DEC. 10.
Capt. Bell, from Curacoa, informs us, that all the American vessels that were at Curacoa when the English took that place, are to pay a salvage of 25 per cent—and that all property purchased by Americans, either from the French, Spanish or Dutch, after the 10th Sept. last, is to be repaid for.
He further informs, that a very destructive fever raged at Curacoa among the English soldiery—though the natives remained perfectly healthy. Capt. B. lost one man with the fever on his passage.
National Election.
BOSTON, Dec. 22.
It was with pride & pleasure, that we announced the progress of the great National Election—and flattered ourselves with the hope that in closing the important business, we should have had the supreme delight of proclaiming the election of the two great patriots of their country, JOHN ADAMS, and C. C. PINCKNEY; but we are de de the high gratification; the following articles of intelligence, which appears too stubborn to controvert, afford no longer any room to doubt, that Mr. JEFFERSON, is to be the future President; and Mr. BURR, the Vice President of the United States.
From Philadelphia, Dec. 15.
A gentleman who left the City of Washington on Friday morning, and arrived here yesterday, informs, that late on Thursday evening, letters were received at Washington by a gentleman high in office, dated Columbia, Dec. 2. These letters stated that the Election for Electors of President and Vice President had taken place that day, the result of which was, that the Electors considered as pledged to vote for Jefferson and Burr had succeeded. The following are the names of seven of them copied by our informant from one of the letters—the eighth he accidentally omitted. Robert Anderson, Arthur Simkins, Wade Hampton, Arthur Love, Theodore Gillard, Paul Hamilton, Jesse Blight.
From New-York, Dec. 15.
Last evening a Fire broke out of the store belonging to Messrs. Saltus, Son and Co. in Front Street, between Coenties and Old slips, and progressed with the wind in the most alarming manner as far as the store of Mr. Thomas Farmer—having destroyed the six buildings occupied by Saltus, Son and Co. Sydam and Heyer, John Peters, Henry Suydam, John Miller, cooper, Thomas Pryer, sail maker, Samuel Borrowe, sail-maker, and John Patrick. The whole amount of the loss may be estimated at 100,000 dolls.
FOREIGN SUMMARY.
Accompanying the Br. King's speech, was the correspondence between France and England, respecting Peace: comprising 47 papers.—By these it appears, that citizen Otto had proposed to Lord Grenville, an armistice by sea and land; a free navigation to the vessels of both nations, &c. These were considered by Lord Grenville, as calculated solely to benefit France; but to evince the desire of England to commence the work of Peace, he proposed an armistice which he considered reciprocal. This has been rejected by the French government; and an overture has been made to the court of London for a separate Treaty; which Great-Britain true to her engagements with Austria has rejected.
The Hon. Oliver Ellsworth, has arrived in England from France, and has been presented to the King, by the American Minister.—He was also present at the presentation of the sword to Lord Nelson by the city of London.—The treaty is scarcely spoken of in the London papers:—The Courier of the 27th October says, "It relieves us from all apprehensions of anything hostile to this country. In re-establishing harmony with France, Am. has not weakened the ties that bind her to this country; and her renewal of friendly intercourse with the French Republic has not been purchased by a sacrifice of the relations of amity and peace which subsist between her and Great-

Britain. It is not difficult to divine the motives and the objects of the stipulations contained in the 19th article of the treaty, by which neutral vessels sailing under convoy are not to be visited."
The Congress at Luneville, it was said, was to be opened immediately. Count Cobentzel, the Emperor's delegate, had been there and at Paris, from which last place he returned, the 7th November, with Joseph Bonaparte. Notwithstanding this last circumstance the most active preparations for war are making in Germany and France.
The Court has assured France that Austria will not make peace without the consent of Great-Britain.
Russia still holds the olive and the twofold. Vast armies are raising it is said to assist the Emperor; while, on the other hand, Lucien Bonaparte has been sent to Petersburg, on a pacific embassy.
Capt. Udnw. who arrived here yesterday from Greenock, had occasion to touch at another port in Scotland, where he saw a Glasgow paper of the 5th Nov. which contained accounts of an army of 35,000 Russians being on their march for the frontiers of Germany, part of which had already arrived; that the Emperor of Germany had prepared accommodations for their reception, and that the King of Prussia had in motion a large body of troops; but whether they were to assist France or Austria was not known.
Admiral Lord Seymour, has issued a proclamation declaring, that all vessels which arrived at Curacao, previous to the capitulation, should be at liberty to clear out with like articles, as heretofore, paying similar duties to those paid by the Dutch government—other vessels are subject to the British West India laws. The vessels in port were, however, interdicted from sailing until they produced the Certificate of the British agents, that they had no claim of salvage on them; and Mr. Phillips, the American Consul there, has certified that those agents claim salvage. Accounts say this salvage amounts to one quarter.
Capt. Harvey recently from the Havana, informs, that it is still very sickly at that place, that Capt. Jow. of the ship Nancy, of this port had lost 9 of his crew, and the rest very sick.
The New-York papers assert, that two of the electoral votes in Rhode Island, were given to Mr. Jay.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE. By a gentleman arrived here yesterday from New-York, we are unhappy to learn, that in the violent gale on Friday last, from 12 to 15 vessels were driven on shore on Long Island.
A very severe hurricane was experienced at St. Ann's, on the 2d ult. during which the shipping from that to the port of Antigua, were all driven on shore. Among them was the Charleston Packet, Rice, and four other American vessels.
The Louisa, Bridger, arrived at New-York from Bermuda, on her passage had an engagement of four hours with, and struck to the U. S. Schooner Experiment, Capt. Stewart, who mistook her for a French privateer.
The Ganges from the Chesapeake, and the Connecticut from New-London, are now under sailing orders for India; and will take convoy.
