James Whitelaw,
Surveyor General of the State of VERMONT.
TAKES this method to inform those persons who own lands in said State, that he still continues to keep a complete register of the times of all proprietors meetings, and vendue sales, and can at all times give information when lands have been, or are to be sold for taxes, and whether the lands are lost by such sales, or are yet redeemable, in any town in said State. All persons who wish to have their lands taken care of, and their present and future taxes paid, or who wish to be informed of the situation, quality, or any matter respecting lands in said State, by applying to him may have their business faithfully transacted for a reasonable compensation.—Commissions directed to him at Ryegate, in the county of Caledonia, and State of Vermont, will be punctually attended to. The mail comes to Newbury on Connecticut river, within a few miles of his residence, by which communications can be forwarded every week. The Legislature at their late session have assessed a tax of one cent on each acre of land in the State, it will therefore be necessary for non-resident land owners to employ agents to prevent their lands being sold for said tax.

THOMAS VEAZEY, jr. of Stratham, in said county, husbandman, guardian of Sally Dearborn, a minor, upwards of fourteen years of age, daughter of Daniel Dearborn, late of Northampton, in said county, deceased, shews that his said ward is owner of about nine acres of land lying in common and undivided with land owned by Frances Neal Dearborn, situate in Greenland in said county, and that it would be most for the benefit of said ward, to sell said land; he therefore prays that licence may be granted him to sell said land.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THURSDAY, Dec. 7.
THE committee of claims reported against the prayer of the petition of Andrew Popen, a supernumerary officer, praying commutation. Accepted, and leave was given him to withdraw his petition.
The committee of elections reported that Mr. Rutherford had not supported his allegations against the validity of Mr. Morgan's election, and therefore that he have leave to withdraw his memorial. Agreed.
Some petitions were presented and referred.
The motion of Mr. Nicholas directing the committee of ways and means to devise and report provision for the deferred debt was agreed to.
Mr. Lyon moved that the committee of ways and means be instructed to enquire whether any, and if any, what retrenchment may be made of the public expenditure. Upon the request of Gen. Williams, Mr. Lyon confessed to his lying on the table till to-morrow.
The bill for the relief of Anthony Carmichael was taken up in committee of the whole, Mr. Dent in the chair.
After some time spent in debate, the committee rose, reported progress, and was refused leave to sit again. The bill was then sent back to the select committee to be rendered more conformable to the resolution of the house.
The account of the Treasurer was communicated and ordered to be printed. Adjourned.
FRIDAY, Dec. 8.
A petition from Daniel Sewall, was referred to a committee of the whole. Several other private petitions, &c. were called up, and disposed of.
Mr. Lyon's resolution for a retrenchment of governmental expenses, was called up by Mr. Thatcher. After a short discussion, the question for agreeing to it, was negatived 33 to 30.
On motion of Mr. Coit, the committee of Ways and Means, was instructed "to inquire, whether any, and if any, what alterations are proper to be made in the act for laying a tax upon Licences for retailing Wine," &c.
THE MINT.
A letter from the Director of the Mint, suggesting the expediency of some alterations in its establishment, to render it less expensive, &c. was referred to a committee of the whole, for Wednesday.
BANKRUPT LAW.
The committee on a Bankrupt Law, concerning the subject to be of such general concern, embracing so great a variety of interests, and a question, in which the mercantile affairs of the community were so deeply involved, wished an augmentation of the committee. Eleven members were in consequence added.
Adjourned till Monday, to give time for the committees to mature reports.
MONDAY, Dec. 11.
The Secretary of the Treasury communicated the financial estimate for 1798, and returns of 1797.—Ordered to be printed.
STAMP ACT.
A bill to suspend the operation of the Stamp Act, until July, 1798, was read a first time.
EXPIRING LAWS.
A committee on this subject reported:—The report ordered to be printed.
FOREIGN COINS.
The committee on this subject reported, that, that part of the law which directed, that certain foreign coins (Crowns, &c.) should not be legal tender, be suspended two years. Referred, and ordered to be printed.
PROTECTION OF COMMERCE.
Mr. Sewall moved, that the committee appointed on that part of the President's speech which relates to the Protection of Commerce, and the defence of the country, have leave to report by bill, as in the case of other committees.
This motion caused a considerable discussion, Messrs. Nicholas, Gallatin, J. Williams, Varnum, Findlay, & Venable, opposed giving the committee this power, & Messrs. Sewall, Pinckney, Harper, Rutledge, Sigreaves, N. Smith, Thatcher, Otis, Isaac Parker, and Dana, advocated the measure.
The arguments in opposition, were briefly that the business before that committee being of a general nature, and not yet decided on by the house, it was improper to have bills brought in respecting them; such a step would abridge the opportunities of discussion, and prevent the house from having that full information, which the committee would have to lay before it, if the committee was in the first instance to report specially on the subject; beside the having a bill brought before them by a committee, seemed to imply, that the house were agreed to take some measures, in respect to encroaching the naval or military establishment, or allowing merchantmen to arm; or to strengthen and extend our fortifications. These questions had been submitted by the President at the extraordinary session, and been rejected by the house in part; bringing them forward in this shape, the house might be surprised into measures, which the cooler judgment of the members would resist. It was hoped that these warlike measures might become unnecessary, by a happy adjustment of our differences with foreign nations, and ought in the interim to be kept out of sight, lest it might throw impediments in the way of our negotiators.
On the other hand it was said to be a saving of time, to have a bill reported in the first instance; that in the present case, the measures could not be so well understood if the proposition was abstracted from the detail; that the discussion might be protracted to any length which the members might wish for; that the committee could report the information they had acquired, as well with as without a bill; that it was not the object of the motion to enable the committee to bring all these subjects forward in a single bill, but to report from time to time on each subject separately, and in all cases to exercise their discretion, whether to report by bill or otherwise; that under all circumstances there was no occasion for this alarm, but an opinion was entertained, that measures of an armament would rather facilitate than impede our negotiations; that the principal object of the motion was to have the power of reporting a bill as explanatory of the law of June 1794, which had been liable to misconstructions.
The yeas and nays were taken on the question of allowing the committee to report by bill or otherwise, and were as follows, viz.
AYES.
Messrs. Allen, Baer, Bartlett, Brooks, Bullock, Champlin, Cochran, Craik, Dana, Dennis, Edmond, Evans, A. Foster, D. Foster, J. Freeman, Glen, Goodrich, Gordon, Griswold, Groves, Harper, Hindman, Holmer, Imlay, Lyman, Machir, Mathews, Morgan, Morris, Otis, Parker (M.) J. Parker (V.) Pinckney, Reed, Rutledge, Schureman, Sewall, Shephard, Sigreaves, N. Smith, S. Smith, Thatcher, Tillinghast, Van Allen, Wadsworth.—45.
NOES.
Messrs. Baldwin, Bard, Blount, Brent, Bryan, Burgess, Chapman, T. Claiborne, W. Claiborne, Clay, Clopton, Coit, Davis, Dawson, Dennis, Elmdorff, Findlay, Gallatin, Gallaspe, Gregg, Harrison, Havens, Heister, Holmes, Jones, Locke, Lyon, Macon, M'Clenachan, M'Dowell, New, Nicholas, Skinner, W. Smith, Sprigg, Stanford, Sumpter, Thompson, A. Trig, J. Trig, Van Cortland, Varnum, Venable, J. Williams, R. Williams.—45.
The votes being equal, the Speaker decided in the affirmative, so the question was carried.—Adjourned.
FURTHER
Foreign Intelligence
By the Orono, Capt. Jamfson, arriv'd at this port.
LONDON, Oct. 21.
All the ships of Lord Duncan's fleet have arrived in port; except the Isis, of 50 guns; and no fears are apprehended of her safety.
Eight of the Dutch Men of war prizes have arrived in port. The Liberty of 74 guns, Ad. de Winter's ship has since sunk in Holsley Bay. The Delft, of 58, sunk at sea; and the Munnikendam, of 44, went ashore on the coast of Holland—crews of the whole saved. On board the latter was a Lieut. of the Beaulieu frigate, and 20 men.
The action was fought off Schevening, on the coast of Holland, within five miles of the shore, on which upwards of 20,000 Batavians witnessed the action. As Schevening is not quite three miles from the Hague, Citizen Noel, the French Commissioner, no doubt had an opportunity of enjoying the fight.
Ad. Duncan has landed at Margate, and been received with the liveliest marks of approbation.
It is worthy of note, that the ships which most distinguished themselves in the late action, were the most conspicuous in the mutiny at the Nore. A strong proof that Jacobinism had no share in that mutiny.
Three Dutch line of battle ships are still out, as only four have entered the Texel, of those that ran away at the beginning of the late action.
The Formidable, of 98 guns, Warrior of 74, Agememnon of 64, and the Brakel of 54, having joined Ad. Duncan, the day after the battle, are left to watch the Texel, and try to destroy the remnant of the Dutch fleet.
The Endymion, (a new 40) Capt. Sir T. Williams, which Ad. Duncan states to have engaged a ship of the line off the Texel, was obliged to give up the contest, owing to the heavy fire kept up from the harbor.
Ad. Duncan is a very old, experienced officer; above sixty-four years have passed over his head. As Sargent Kite says, he was "born to be a great man," for he is six feet four inches tall.
French Flag of Truce.
3 o'clock, P. M.
We stop the press to announce the arrival off Dover, of a Flag of Truce from France, about 8 o'clock.
BELLIGERENCY.
Yesterday a report prevailed that hostilities had actually recommenced between the Austrians and French. The funds fell a little in consequence; however, the report has no foundation, as we know of.
The United armies of the Rhine, which Gen. Angereau is to command, will contain 140,000 men. It is expected they will soon be on the banks of the Danube; and that another Republic will be formed in Germany, equal in importance to that in Italy.
The French Plenipotentiaries at Lisle, in sending away Lord Malmesbury for the purpose of obtaining new powers to treat definitively on the basis of the total restitutio of our conquests, made from France and her allies, were desirous to appear as if they were not the first to break off the Negotiation. It now seems, that in order to give some colour to that design, the Plenipotentiaries are to remain at Lisle, until the 16th inst. in expectation of Lord Malmesbury's return to that place with the necessary powers.
In consequence of these proceedings, Vick, the messenger was dispatched to Lisle, soon after Lord Malmesbury's return to London, to signify that the basis of the negotiation proposed by the Directory, was such that it could not lead to an happy termination. But the Directory still persist in the design of giving a plausible air to its exorbitant pretensions, sent Monf. De La Clue to our court, with a note, containing in fact, demands as imperious as before, but glossed over in terms of great civility. Indeed the language of it may be remarked as the most polite of any that has yet passed from the French Directory, it is as follows:—
"Lille, 10 Vendemaire, (Oct. 1) 6th year.
"The Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic, charged to negotiate peace with England, have the honor to inform Lord Malmesbury, that having addressed a copy of his last note of Sept. 25, 1797, to their
Government, the Executive Directory has directed them to declare in its name, that it has not ceased to desire peace; that it gave an unequivocal proof of the sentiment which animated it, when it ordered the Ministers of the Republic to demand a categorical explanation, with regard to the powers vested in its Minister Plenipotentiary by the English Government; that such a proceeding neither had, nor could have, any other object than to bring the negotiation to a speedy and happy issue.
"That the order given to the Ministers Plenipotentiaries of the Republic to remain at Lisle, after Lord Malmesbury's departure, is a farther proof that the Directory desired, and provided for, his return with such powers as would not be illusory; and the limitation of which would no longer afford a pretext for retarding the conclusion of peace.
"That such are invariably the intentions and hopes of the Executive Directory, which enjoins the Ministers Plenipotentiaries of the Republic not to quit Lisle, till such time as the prolonged absence of the negotiator shall, no longer leave room to doubt the intention of his Britannic Majesty to break off all negotiation.
"That, in consequence, the 25th Vendemaire, instant Oct. 16, (O. S.) is the period fixed for the recall of the Ministers Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic, in case that the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty should not return to Lisle by the above epoch.
"The Executive Directory will experience great regret, in case that an accommodation, already twice entered upon, should not be consummated, but its own conscience, and all Europe, will render testimony, that it is the English Government alone that will inflict the scourge of war on the two nations.
"The Ministers Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic beg the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty to accept the assurance of high consideration.
(Signed) "TRELLHARD, "BONNIER, "DERCHE."
The Secretary of legation
The answer returned by our Cabinet has, we have no doubt, been as polite in point of form, as the note of the Directory; but as the dignity and interest of the nation unite in refusing our acquiescence to the extraordinary demands of the French government, it is highly improbable that the negotiations will be resumed for the present.
With respect to the sorrow expressed by the Directory, on the unfortunate turn of the negotiations, and its appeal to the powers of Europe, that to the English Government alone is to be attributed the continuance of the war, they can only be considered as hypocritical protestations, of which no person can be the dupe, who divests them of those illusive expressions which the new Republican Administration has substituted for the carmagnoles of the Ancient Committee of Public safety, the spirit and animosity of which it has, however, preserved both in the actual and preceeding negotiations.
Reception of American Envoys
From a Paris Gazette of Oct. 10.
On the 16th Vendemaire, Oct. 7, the three American Negotiators were presented to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. They are—Mr. Pinckney, of South Carolina, who served with distinction during the whole of the war for American Independence: Mr. Marshall, of the state of Virginia, who also bore arms during the whole period, but who has applied since the peace, to the study of the law, and now occupies the situation of Advocate General of that state, and Mr. Gerry, of Massachusetts, member of that state in Congress, where he is equally distinguished by his talents and his moderation. These three men who reside more than one hundred leagues from each other, are scarcely acquainted. The first time they ever met was at more than a thousand leagues from their country; to fulfil an important mission. This confidence of the American government, in citizens who never were employed in diplomatic affairs, for renewing the political and commercial relations of the United States with France, gives us reason to presume that that government wishes rather to rely on the fidelity and candor of the French government, than to seek a support from the intrigues or finess of men sheltered in the machiavellism of Cabinets. This nomination, therefore, augurs the fortunate issue of the negotiation which is about to commence.
Sir Benjamin Hammet, having declined acting as Lord Mayor, has been fined £1000! He plead sickness, but could procure none other than a Man midwife, and a Chymist, to avouch it.
Mr. Alderman Anderson was yesterday elected Lord Mayor, and has accepted.
When Admiral DE WINTER received an order from the Batavian Convention to go to sea in quest of the English fleet, and to give them battle, he returned a strong remonstrance against this order, stating the condition of his fleet, the superiority of the English, and above all the want of discipline in his ships. He received a short answer, enforcing the first order: To this he contented himself with giving a reply of mere acknowledgment that he had received the order. "And from that moment (said the brave and patriotic Admiral) I prepared for failing. I felt that I had no discretion—I had no longer to consult any thing but the honor of my flag; and, if the English line had been thirty ships instead of sixteen, I should have given them battle. I had discharged my duty as a citizen; I was then to fulfil my duty as a soldier."
Scarce a day transpires but our cruisers find in French privateers; and recaptured neutrals.
October 22.
Address of Gen. Angereau, commander in chief of the armies of the Sambre, Meuse, Rhine, and Moselle, to the troops composing these armies.
"Fellow Soldiers,
"If death were to choose her own victims, guilt alone would be banished from the world; but she strikes without distinction an Achilles and a Thersites, a hero and the child of vice and of effeminacy. His scythe cuts down indifferently every
thing that presents itself to his blow. Vice and Virtue, it is all one. Cato, unable to survive the liberty of his country, tore out his bowels, and on his smoking corpse Cæsar reared a throne. Hoche died in the flower of his age, and in the height of his glory, and Pichegru outlined his crimes. Such are the decrees of blind destiny. Soldiers, drop a tear on the bier of the hero, and let a cry of indignation anathematize the traitor! Long deceived, often neglected, sometimes betrayed, what force of arm, what sentiment of glory, what robust patriotism and courageous constancy, did you not require to resist at once conspiracies, sufferings, internal disgust and the efforts of Austria from without? Doubtless it is, when, with pure intentions and tried republicanism, a chief is appointed to the command of men like you, that victory is rendered subject to his will. Penetrated with this truth, my fellow soldiers, it is that I have not hesitated to accept the vast charge which the gov. has imposed upon me in placing me at your head. I know the extent of the charge, and I am not dismayed; is not this a sufficient declaration of the esteem in which I hold you. Soldiers, the chiefs of the Royalist conspiracy no longer fit in the Senate, and the Cabinet of Vienna no longer has auxiliaries in the Luxembourg. The Executive Directory, long placed, by the conspirators in the cruel impossibility of putting a period to your sufferings, is now seconded by the Representatives of the people who remained faithful to the people. The eyes of the government are open to you and to your wants. Its power is far from keeping pace with its paternal intentions! Nevertheless your sufferings shall be mitigated. It is in order to accelerate the attainment of this object that I remain at Paris. I shall very speedily follow this address, which I send you. I shall bring funds along with me; clothing and fuel shall be provided before the rigour of winter. Every part of the Administration shall be purified, and reduced to regularity; and henceforth nothing but unforeseen events can interrupt,seen events can interrupt, and that only for a moment, the discharge of your pay, and condemn you to wants which it shall be my chief care to abridge. Every moment of my life, all my faculties, my whole existence, fellow soldiers, shall be consecrated to your service. But in proportion as you ought to expect every thing from my devotion to your cause, I am entitled to require from you a discipline, not trifling in its details, not degrading, but just, severe, inflexible, and complete. Republican patriotism and courage are virtues which it is easy for you to practice. If, however, there are men among you, to whom it is painful to exercise them, let them quit their ranks, let them withdraw. These enemies of liberty ought to have no share in the glory of her children. Soldiers, let your bravery catch fire from the sacred love of your country, and let the rise of your glowing energy strike terror into your enemies beyond the Rhine, and inspire with dismay those whom you leave behind that river. The Emperor, it is said, is raising levies. Poor wretches, torn from the plough, and trained by violence, are coming to swell the number of his fatellites. Vain precaution!—France, restored to the vigour of Republican institutions is at this moment one entire army, of which we are only the advanced guard. In a word, if our enemies remain obstinate; if, rejecting the pacific offers of our government, they still wish for blood, why then let them be satisfied. They are only so extensive in their demands, because we were so generous, and let it one day be asked, if the people of Vienna ever had Masters?
(Signed) "ANGEREAU."
PARIS, October 9.
We learn by a letter from Venice, of the 15th ult. that the Municipality has prohibited the admission of any novices in the religious orders of either sex, and even the ordination of new secular Priests. All foreign Clergymen have been ordered to quit the territory of Venice, those alone excepted, who are upwards of 70 years old.
The object of the secret committee of yesterday, was a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance with the King of Sardinia.
October 10.
The following particulars are now known respecting the journey and departure of the transported Deputies:
The prisoners, 16 in number, the voluntary exile Tellier, included, set out in the carriage constructed for the prisoners of Vendome. Within 13 days, they travelled 168 leagues from Paris to Rochfort. They did not quit the carriage, but dined and passed the nights in it. Their escort consisted of 200 horse, and there were besides some military guards in the carriage, which contained room for 38 persons. On their arrival at Blois the concourse of people was immense.
A trait which deserves notice is the result of the reading of newspapers, which they were indulged with at their own request, Barthelemy having read Moreau's denunciation against Pichegru, said to him, "you know I told you, that you were a traitor." "If I am a traitor, replied Pichegru, you are a coward."
At Tours, a brother of Aubry offered him money, which he refused. The family of Lafond-Ladebat had with all possible speed proceeded to Rochfort. The Exiles expected to make some stay in that port, but they found there the Surveillante, a corvette of 26 guns, ready for sea. The news of their immediate departure operated like a thunderbolt on them. They were obliged to alight from the carriage, without having dined, and were immediately conducted on board.
Previous to the embarkation, the faithful Tellier was once more asked, whether he persisted in his determination to follow Barthelemy. "I have shared the prosperity of my Master," replied he, "I will now share his misfortunes."
The embarkation was the work of a moment. One hundred marines were put on board besides the seamen, who composed the crew.
The corvette had already gained the offing, when a signal was made for her to put back. This, no doubt, inspired some hope in the exiles, but it soon ceased; for the corvette was ordered back for no other purpose than to change her commander; and the put to sea without the least delay.
October 11.
Warlike Operations.
It is said, hostilities re-commenced in Italy on the 6th Oct. and that there have been some skirmishes between the advanced posts; but the advantage remains with the republicans.
All the divisions of the army of Germany were to have been put in motion on the 6th Oct. The division of Gen. Grenier, which was cantoned between Wimpfen and the Sieg, has abandoned its position, for the purpose of crossing the Lahn. The division of Gen. Lefebvre, which formed the advanced guard, is on the banks of the Nidda. The division of Championet has advanced to Wetzlar. The cavalry reserve, commanded by generals Oiwaid, Ney, and Houploué, are preparing to advance, for the purpose of occupying positions between the Lahn and the Nidda. In a few days they will be all ready to make a vigorous attack. [Annales Politiques.]
A letter from Brussels states that the army of the Rhine and Moselle has formed a junction on the Hundstruck, with the right wing of the army of the Sambre and Meuse. Thus these two armies are united, and will henceforth make only one. It is certain, that Gen. Bourdonville, at the head of a part of the army of the north, is to serve under Gen. Angereau, who will then have under his command 140,000 fighting men. It is expected that he will march straight to Vienna, while Buonaparte also advances towards it from Italy; and it is probable, that the close of the year 1797, already so fertile in great events, will be crowned with a revolution as memorable as that of Italy.
MILAN, Sept. 30.
Every thing is ready. The military dispositions, the necessary measures for acting on the defensive or offensive, the contingents of troops to be furnished by the different allied powers, an army of 80,000 effective men newly equipped, refreshed by a repose of several months, enflamed by the remembrance of its former triumphs, and impressed with the firm assurance of once more conquering its enemies, if they should again dare to try the chance of war. A cavalry well remounted and equipped, the most formidable artillery, served by the most skilful engineers, and drawn by 6000 choice horses. The ramparts of all the strong places covered with cannon, ammunition and provision in abundance; all directed by the genius of Buonaparte, which is always vigilant.
What a preface of peace is this picture, in which nothing is exaggerated, and the details of which afford expectations with respect to the future, as satisfactory to the French Republic, as discouraging to the Austrian power!
DEAL, October 12.
On Monday morning last, as a gentleman was beating the woods for pheasants near Brentwood in Essex, suddenly one of his dogs set up a loud barking. On his approaching the spot to discover the cause, he to his no small astonishment and horror, discovered the body of a female quite naked, exquisitely beautiful and well proportioned, and which appeared not to have lain there many hours. From evident marks of violence about her body, it appears, that the villains, or villain, first committed a rape upon her and afterwards murdered her.—There is a large wound under her left breast which the Faculty are of opinion was the cause of her death. This unfortunate young woman appears to be about 20 years of age, and, from the delicacy of her skin, and a silver comb that was found in her hair, evidently above the common rank. The gentlemen of the neighbourhood have done every thing in their power to discover the perpetrators of this truly horrid transaction; but, we are sorry to say, hitherto without success.—The body now lies at the Crown Inn, in Brentwood.
KINGSTON, (Jam.) Oct. 13.
Extract of a letter from Cape-Nicholas-Mole, dated the 17th ultimo.
"The night before last the Pelican returned here from a cruise, after a most gallant action. The republicans at Gonaives had fitted out a brig of 14 guns, long six pounders, and full of men, and a sch. with 1 nine pounder and 40 men, for the express purpose of taking the Drake; luckily, however, they fell in with the Pelican instead of her, and attacked her, and after an action of near two hours, half an hour closely engaged, the republican brig sunk, having first struck her colors—about 15 of her crew, which at the commencement of the action was near 100 men, were preserved, and many of them miserably burnt, by the blowing up of cartridges."
November 4.
By the Guinea ships which called at Barbadoes, we learn, that the crew of the ship Thomas, bound from Angola for this island, was overpowered by the negroes near Barbadoes, and that 14 hands, leaving the capt. and the rest to maintain a very unequal combat, betook themselves to the boat, without an oar, provisions, or water. After being out 32 days, the boat drifted to Barbadoes, when only 4 miserable wretches were found alive. It appears that their hunger becoming insupportable, they cast lots, in order to ascertain who should die for the subsistence of the remainder, when the lot fell on the Dozor's Mate, who accordingly was killed. The remainder fell victims to disease, arising from the extremity of their wants; and, of 4 who reached Barbadoes, one died on the beach, and two were not expected to live.
NOTICE is hereby given, that the subscriber has been duly appointed administrator on the estate of BARLOW TRECOThICK, late of London, in the Kingdom of Great-Britain, Esq. deceased, and has taken upon him that trust by giving bonds as the law directs, and all persons having demands upon the estate of the said BARLOW TRECOThICK, are hereby required to exhibit the same, and all persons indebted to said estate are called upon to make payment to JONATHAN WARNER, Administrator, State of New-Hampshire, Portsmouth, January 1, 1798.

LONDON, Oct. 9. The armed force of the Cisalpine Republic is to be augmented to 90,000 men. The gold and silver belonging to the churches at Venice had been taken therefrom to pay the contributions levied by the French. The Imperial army in Italy including the troops which occupy Illyria and Dalmatia, according to the most correct accounts, amount to 123,000 men. Austria will have two armies on the Rhine. That of the Upper Rhine will include the three camps of Villingen, Lohburg, Schwenzingen, and without reckoning the emigrants, may be calculated at 60,000 men. The army of the Lower Rhine will amount to more than 40,000. The plan is, to canton them on both banks of the Mein; on one side as far as the Danube, and on the other towards Bavaria.
Oct. 18. Admiral Duncan's flag, with three other ships was seen from Harwich on their way to the Nore, on Monday. The city of London have voted thanks to Admiral Duncan, and all the officers and men composing his fleet, for their conduct in the action with the Dutch; and have presented Admiral Duncan with a sword valued at 200 guineas, and Admiral Onslow with a sword, valued at 100 guineas. Also, directed 500l. to be paid to a subscription opened for the widows and orphans of seamen who fell in the conflict. 2000 guineas were subscribed by individuals for the same purpose.
Last night a Dutch Sailor, armed with a sword, planted himself on the side near Deptford, where he attacked every passenger with the most brutal ferocity. He stabbed a young woman in the breast, and wounded several gentlemen, but none mortally. After a desperate resistance he was at last overpowered by numbers, and conveyed to the watch-house, where he declared it was his intention to destroy every person he met, in revenge for the defeat of his countrymen.
DUBLIN, Oct. 7. FRENCH SPY. For the last two days, the Citizens of Dublin have been occupied by a very extraordinary report, namely: "That a General in the French service, named Clarke, the brother-in-law and Godfather to Buonaparte, and by birth an Irishman, had been 48 hours in the last week in this city, had held conferences with the leaders of the United Irishmen, and having obtained his information, and giving his directions, had embarked in a fishing smack from Killiney-bay, on Sunday morning last."
PETERSBURGH, Dec. 12. A few days ago, Mr. William Haskin, of Brunswick county, while on his way from this town to his place of residence, was murdered on the road near Indian town Bridge. Three persons of Dinwiddie county have since been apprehended on suspicion of having perpetrated this horrid act.
ELIZABETHTOWN, (N.J.) DEC. 19. At the court of common pleas, held the 30th ult. at Newton, Sussex county, came on the trial of Mr. Kerr against Mr. Matthews, for criminal conversation had with the plaintiff's wife four years ago, claiming damages of one thousand pounds; and, after the most elaborate display of learned ingenuity by counsel, and the examination of numerous evidences, the jury retired, without any special charge from the judges, and returned in about two hours with a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for one hundred and twenty five pounds damages. This is a crime of the most heinous nature—it ruins the peace of families, breaks down the mounds of all order and law; and, without any palliatives, a jury ought to give ample damages.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 18. We are politely favored with the following extract of a letter, dated Martinique, Nov. 23. "Admiral Harvey has granted a convoy for the American vessels to sail the 25th inst. He has promised me, that whenever there were so far of vessels ready for America, he would furnish them with a ship, to protect them clear of the islands; so that the only risk is on the outward bound passage."
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 18. There are now building in this port for the use of the Dey of Algiers, which, it is supposed, are to be paid for out of the subsidy agreed to be allowed by this Country to the Dey, for his alliance, a ship of 20 guns, a brig, seventy-five feet keel, to mount 22 guns, and a Schooner, sixty-five feet keel, to carry 18 guns. The ship is building by Mr. Bowers, in Kensington, and the brig and Schooner by Mr. Humphreys, Naval Architect to the government. They are very handsome vessels, and will soon be finished. The United States Schooner Hamdallah, which lately failed from hence for Algiers, was also purchased in Baltimore of the Dey, and was loaded with ammunition and military stores, for his use.
Extract of a letter from a merchant of distinction in England to his friend in this city, dated Sept. 19, 1797. "Our harvest is now nearly over in the Southern counties of England, but the weather has been so unfavorable that a great deal of wheat is much injured, and the whole has been so badly saved, that the quality must prove very indifferent, our prices have consequently risen very much, and old wheat, which about 5 weeks ago was at one dollar and 25 cents (counting in your money) to one dollar and thirty-five cents per bushel now falls at two dollars & eleven cents, and may get up to two dollars and
twenty-two cents (say 10s. sterling). It is impossible to say whether prices will continue so high during the winter and spring, but I think you may fairly expect to get 8/6, say one dollar and eighty-nine cents per bushel for all the wheat that may come in good order from your side of the water."
AGREEMBLE. DECEMBER 22. Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dated Dec. 13, to a member of Congress. "We have good news from Cape-Francois, Barney has sent his frigate to France and is now judge of the Tribunal in Prize cases, since which, American vessels, bound to and coming from British ports (such as were so before the war) are not condemned, several had been released, and most of the privateers laid up. This is in consequence of late orders from France. Capt. Huston, of the brig Amelia, of Philadelphia, arrived here to-day with the information."
Extract of another letter from a gentleman of undoubted veracity, at Norfolk, to another member of Congress, dated Dec. 12, 1797.
"The only news of importance we have at present came to hand this day, by an arrival from the West-Indies. It is that Commodore Barney was appointed chief judge of the admiralty at the Cape, and that he had already issued a proclamation forbidding the capture of American vessels bound to any British port whatever, except such as are styled "Rebel ports." This news I believe to be true, and heartily rejoice to hear it, since Barney is an honest man, who will doubtless do justice to every one of our REAL countrymen, who may fall in his way; not withstanding the scandalous treatment he received from many whilst he lay in this port."
The Secretary of the Treasury has reported to Congress, that no purchases of the public debt have been made since his last report dated December 16, 1796. The whole amount of debt purchased is, 2,307,661 dollars—for which there has been paid in specie, 1,618,930 dollars. The payments made by the United States of its debts, to the bank of New-York, bank of the United States on certain loans, instalment on Dutch loan, &c. dollars, 3,001,674.
The French demand an officer of equal rank, and 4000 men in exchange for Sir Sydney Smith. The British Government refuses to accede to the proposition.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 19. The recent intelligence from the West-Indies is of the most alarming nature. Several letters have been received in town, advising the merchants of the intention of the French cruisers, in pursuance of orders from the Directory sent to Guadalupe, to capture indiscriminately all American vessels. We fear the intelligence of this villainous measure is too well grounded. The merchant, therefore, would probably be on the safest side, to retain his property in port, and sustain a partial loss, rather than to expose it to the rapacity of the common robbers of the ocean, by attempting to seek a market among the West-India islands. Some subsequent arrival from that quarter, will most likely enable him to decide on the propriety of letting his property afloat without protection.
A letter from St. Thomas, dated Nov. 23, to a respectable house in this city, says, "Since I wrote you on the 19th inst. we have received very disagreeable news. We have it from good authority, that the French have got orders to capture ALL American vessels that they can find, WITHOUT DISTINCTION. The news seems to be so well confirmed, that I dare not venture out of port with property under American colors. I have now sold the Schooner, and given up the voyage."
BOSTON, Dec. 28. Gen. La Fayette, When liberated was accompanied by a Major, with orders to see him safe at the American Consul's house; and bearing a letter to the Austrian Minister at Hamburg from Baron Thugut, requesting him to inform the American Consul, that it was not at the request of the Directory, that he was liberated; "but as a mark of good will to the United States of America," who had requested it.
The Directory of France have ordered that the matter for French papers shall be under the inspection of the Police. Many serious remonstrances have been made against this tyrannical arrest.
By the Eliza, Lewis, from Savannah, we received papers to Dec. 8. From which we extract the following article: Arrived here yesterday, the sch'r Two Friends, Capt. Hathaway, from Cape Francois in 20 days—left there the United States brig Sophia, Capt. Maley, together with about 14 sail of American vessels. We learn by Capt. H. that Commodore Barney had remained at the Cape, having sent on the two frigates to France. By a decree of the French government, received before departure of Capt. H. all their small privateers under 14 guns, were called in. Capt. H. was spoke on his outward and inward passage by several British men of war and cruisers, and suffered to proceed without delay or molestation. Sailed from the Cape in company with 12 sail of Americans, while with them, was hailed by the British sloop of war Swallow, but not boarded, nor
did they send on board any of the American vessels.
Dec. 27.—This day arrived, sch'r. Lark, Malcolm, of Cushing, from Barbadoes, last from St. Vincent, 34 days from the latter place. Sailed in company from Barbadoes, with ship Diana, Lassel, of Pepperelborough who has since arrived at Grenada. Left at St. Vincent, brig Atlantic, of Bristol (Earlward) to sail in 14 days for Savannah; sch'r. Industry, Woodend, to sail in 3 days for Norfolk; brig Harriot, Brightman, of Boston, to sail in 3 days for Trinidad; brig Polly, Bullock, of Providence, expected to sail soon for Martinique.
The ship Caroline, Glazier, of Newburyport, failed in company from St. Vincent for Norfolk; parted with her in lat. 20, long. 64.
Capt. Malcolm informs us, that capt. Brightman, of the brig Harriot, in the lat. of Antigua, was chased by a French armed Schooner, which sailing quicker than himself, was fast overhauling him, and preparing for boarding; when, hauling up his courses, and shewing 8 wooden guns, with a great compliment of handspikes, dressed in propria persona, the sch'r. sheered off, and left capt. B. to pursue his passage unmolested. Capt. Malcolm adds, that it was the intention of capt. B. to arm in St. Vincent.
The French sloop St. Rene; the Chaurin Dragon, with rosin, tar, and turpentine from Bayonne for Brest; a Spanish ship of 300 tons with naval stores; Le Gentil; the Telemachus, and another lugger, each mounting six brass six pounders; a French cutter privateer; Le Poillon; Le Ravon; La Brunette, with several other armed vessels have been recently taken by the British, and either sent into port, or destroyed. The ship Minerva, from Copenhagen, for Providence, was spoke Dec. 13, in great distress, having but three men to do duty.
Brig Gen. Warren, Sisson, from the Havannah, for Boston, was wrecked on the back of Cape Cod, last week.—Vessel and cargo, it is said, will be lost.
December 30. The Powhatan, Shaw, from Liverpool, has stranded off Charleston bar. Her cargo consisting of dry goods and salt, is said to be worth 25,000l. and fortunately for that city it was insured in London. The vessel had 4 feet water in her hold, when the captain left her. Her cargo will be saved with damage.
Capt. Handy, at New-Bedford, from Woolwich Bay, with 2400 bbls. oil; being in want of refreshment, several men just dying with the scurvy, a few days before he got in, fell in with Capt. Samuel Chamberlain, in a brig from Portland, for the W. Indies, which taking him for a man of war ran from him; but was brought too by the discharge of a well loaded musket, and generously furnished the necessary supplies, apologising for striving to get away from them.
For the GAZETTE. MR. MELCHER, To inculcate moral principles; to instil virtuous sentiments; and to attempt in general to make men better; are doubtless among the great duties incumbent on all; but more especially on those who by writing and publishing, diffuse their sentiments through all ranks and ages.—Error, whatever may be its source, whether in design, ignorance, or inattention, is always reprehensible, and still the more so, the more celebrity a man may have attained among his fellow creatures.
I was led to these thoughts by observing a small inaccuracy in the Oracle of the 23d, under the head of the Moralists, which though only detected by some children, and received by others, may possibly do injury to themselves, if not to the writer.
The axis of the globe, if we may believe many persons who know better than myself does not incline so as to form an angle of 45 degrees—And though its real inclination is the probable cause of the vicissitude of seasons, I see not if it inclined ever so little, or none at all, while we are blest'd with an Atmosphere, why there should not be clouds and wind.
If the axis of the earth was restored to the desired position, I do not comprehend what is meant by "continual spring throughout the world" would the sun shine at, and warm equally the equator and the poles?—would not the strip of earth warmed by its genial influence become much narrower? May one venture to ask what are the "productions that would be continually advanced"? would not our own country become more fertile? would wheat grow in Siberia?
These observations should not be deemed harsh, as the only reason that induced me to make them was, that young persons, to whom such writings are frequently addressed, might possibly, if they found the premises doubtful, be led to consider the conclusion as null.
CIVIS. PORTSMOUTH, January 3.
IMPORTANT!!! By an arrival at Salem, on Sunday evening last, after a short passage from Bourdeaux. Accounts are received, That the American Envoys at the Court of France, were not received, and were about taking passage in a vessel bound to New-York; however true the first part of this intelligence may be, we are yet led to suppose they would not thus precipitately leave the Continent without orders from our government.
A Captain Robinson has been detected at Norfolk, in passing counterfeit Bank Bills of the N. York Branch. The amount of 10 Dollars, and are payable to Cornelius Ray whose name is also endorsed on the back.
St. Jago de Cuba is said to be shut against all neutral vessels.
Robberies, with attempts to murder, are frequent in the vicinity of Philadelphia.
Incendiary attempts have lately been made in Savannah—happily unsuccessful. A 3d French black incendiary has been executed in Charleston.—He acknowledged his turpitude.
The Ship GRAND TURK, We are happy to learn is safe in Portland harbour. Five of her crew have died since she left India.
FIRES. —A stable, horse and cow, in Baltimore, were consumed by fire, on the 17th ult. a dwelling house narrowly escaped, by placing a candle in a window too near the curtains.
From Pembroke we learn, that on Friday evening, Dec. 15th, two houses, belonging to Mr. William Pipe, of that town, were entirely consumed by fire, with a considerable part of their contents. The loss is estimated at 1000 dollars.
Marine Intelligence. Capt. Ropes, at Salem, from Dominique, left the Aurora, Gould, of Kennebec, which had lost her main-mast in lat. 32; also, sch'r. Henry, Johnson, of New-Haven. Capt. R. on his passage, to join the convoy, at Martinico, was taken in sight of the town by a French privateer, who took out one of his men, and put on board a prize-master and 6 hands, ordering the prize to Basse Terre; but in 24 hours after was retaken by the British sloop of war Favourite, sent him to Antigua, detained him 24 hours, and then permitted him to proceed on his voyage. Capt. R. had afterwards the misfortune to meet with a French privateer brig, by which he was robbed of all his spare rigging, pump leather, &c. and then the captain wishing him a good voyage, let him go. Providentially Capt. R. has not fulfilled the wish of this brave, the philanthropist privateer captain, who no doubt intended him a good voyage to the bottom of the ocean, after he had deprived him of every resource in the hard weather which was to have been expected on our coast at this rough season of the year. Had he not trusted to the elements to finish the business, no doubt he would have scuttled the vessel.

DIED —In Kent-street, London, a man of the name of ESHERWOOD, who maintained himself for upwards of 40 years by begging. On clearing his apartment of filth and old rags, property to the amount of 475l. in gold, silver, and half-pence, was discovered sewed up in old clothes, and in several crevices in the miserable apartment, and which was claimed by a relation in the neighborhood, as heir at law, who never countenanced him in his life time; but much to his disappointment, the thrifty mendicant had made a Will in favor of a favorite woman who attended him in all his illness.
