L A W OF THE 29th FRIMAIRE, THE 3d YEAR OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, REMITTING THE RETURN OF THE FRENCH SEAMEN, WHO ARE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.
THE National Convention, after having heard the report of the Committee of Public Safety and Marine united, do decree:
That the Committee of Public Safety is authorized to take all necessary measures for the execution of the law of the 23d of this month, relative to the returning in France of the petty officers, sailors and green hands who now are in foreign countries.
Approved by the Representative of the People, Inspector of the Verbal Process.
(Signed) VIQUY. Compared with the originals, by us, Representatives of the People, Secretaries of the National Convention, at Paris, the 1st Nivose, the 3d year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
(Signed) J.S. ROVERE, DUBOIS DUBAIS.
Extract from the Records of the Committee of Public Safety of the National Convention, the 18th Pluviose, the 3d year of the French Republic, one and indivisible.
THE Committee of Public Safety, by virtue of the law of the 29th Frimaire, by which they are authorized to take measures relative to the returning in France of the petty officers, sailors and green hands who now are in foreign countries:—Decreed:
ARTICLE FIRST. That all petty-officers, sailors, green hands, cabin boys, gunners and tradesmen, who now are in foreign countries, and especially on the Italian coast, deserters, either from the ships or other vessels of the Republic or merchantmen, from the ports or dock-yards, are at liberty to re-enter France without fear of being troubled or pursued directly or indirectly.
II. Those of the aforesaid seamen and tradesmen who will flee their desire to return in their country, may present themselves to the Agents, Consuls or other officers of the French nation, in foreign countries, who are authorized to facilitate to them the means so to do; to pay them the customary charges of travelling to embark them in the merchant vessels bound to the port of their district, or in the ships of the Republic.
III. The Agents, Consuls or other officers of the French Republic in foreign countries, shall deliver to those sailors or tradesmen who shall present themselves to return in their country, a Certificate, by which they may freely re-enter in their Department, where after a few days rest the officers civil of the Marine will employ them for the service of the ships of the Republic and at the dock-yards, paying them their advances, travelling charges and customary portage of their cloth.
IV. All sailors or tradesmen who shall have returned to their country, shall be placed on the ships of the Republic or in the dock-yards, according to the share they have in the service; and they may expect the same proportion and augmentation of pay as the other citizens, and in their absence their families shall have part of the succours granted the families of the defenders of their country.
V. They will divide as they arrive in the ports or several vessels and in the divers dock-yards.
VI. The Agents and civil officers of the Marine, will send every month to the Commission of the Marine and the Colonies, a statement of the sailors and tradesmen so returned, and they will report to the Committee of Public Safety.
VII. As to the seamen who after having fled from the hand of slavery have been arrested in the divers ports of the Republic for the general safety, the Committee of Public Safety refers to the Representatives of the People, sent in the ports or at the armies of the Republic, the execution of the depositions of the law to that purpose of the 21st Frimaire last.
The Commission of the Marine and Colonies is charged to give the necessary orders for the hasty execution of the present decree.

PARIS, May 30. THE cavalry are still encamped in the Thuilleries, where none are permitted to enter without tickets. The citizens of the section of the Arsenal remain under arms day and night to guard that important post. The government makes the same allowance to them as the troops of the line, viz. a pound of bread, a pound of meat, and half a pint of wine.
The greater part of the sections of Paris finished yesterday their investigation. They concluded by making provision for the wives and children of the terrorists who have been executed.
It is not possible to penetrate into the disposition of the Spanish government.—Notwithstanding the disasters which it has experienced since the commencement of the war, it does not appear very earnest to conclude a peace. The negotiations which were opened at Figueres have in consequence been broken off.
There has been a dreadful storm in Burgundy. The hail was so large as to kill several men and cattle. This is much to be regretted, as it tends to retard the harvest, at a time when provisions are so scarce.
JUNE 1. Insurrection at Toulon.
THE intelligence from Toulon, is not agreeable. The Jacobin rebels were still in possession of the city and forts, the 25th ult.—Poullier and Guerin, are there, but in a state of duress. Having collected their force at Toulon, the insurgents marched for Marseilles, in force; but several battalions collected at the latter place, by the deputies on mission, met the insurgents on the road, gave them battle, and after a sharp conflict, defeated them. A force of 30,000 men, is now assembling to lay siege to Toulon, the speedy reduction of which is promised by the deputies at Marseilles. The Toulon fleet is safe in the outer harbour, out of the reach of the insurgents.
Accession of Russia to the Coalition.
LONDON, June 10. A messenger just arrived from St. Petersburg, brings a ratification of the Treaty negotiated between the Empress of Russia, and our Court, by which the former binds herself to a persecution of the War, to furnish twelve sail of the line and eight frigates, which may soon be expected to reach one of our ports.
Less prominent Articles. Paris enjoyed perfect tranquility, June 1.—The abettors of the late insurrection, have all been tried, and executed.
The Chouans are still in force, notwithstanding the late treaties with some of the Chiefs.
MILITARY OPERATIONS. A messenger from Frankfort, mentions, that a fortie was made by the garrison, on the 10th May, on which the French experienced a considerable loss in men and cannon.
Gen. Clairfait, near Mentz, commands an army of 120,000 men. The Electors of Cologne, Mentz, Treves, and Saxe, the Duke of Wartenburg, and the Bishop of Wirtzberg, will not make peace with the French. Nor will the Emperor.
NEUTRAL PROPERTY. June 11. Our cruisers daily bring in neutral vessels laden with provisions bound to France. The provisions are paid for, at an equitable price, and freight and demurrage allowed.
The Albion, of 60 guns, has sent into port, eighteen sail of merchant ships laden with corn, taken in the north seas, on their way to France either from Denmark or Dantzic. This will prove a great relief at this time.
Yesterday arrived a Hamburg and Italian mail. The chief articles by the former are, another Declaration from the Emperor on the subject of Peace.
Paris papers of the 7th inst. were received yesterday, which state, that the Chouans are still, as we have repeatedly very confidently stated, in considerable force.
We are sorry to say, that sixty vessels laden with corn and provisions from America, reached Brett Harbour on the 4th inst.
DENMARK. In consequence of a declaration of Mr. Crawford, the English Resident at Copenhagen, signifying that all Danish ships laden with corn for France, would be seized and the laden and freightage paid for, the exportation of that article from the Danish States, has been prohibited until the 1st September next.
Translations for the Centinel.
[From the latest Paris papers, May 24, 1795.] THE Commonwealth is once more saved.—Yesterday, the triumph of true principles over the designs of cut throats, gave the finishing blow to Jacobinism: and if all the departments have now the courage to imitate our example, there will soon be left no trace of the ferocity, of those mousters (the Jacobins) who would if possible, lay waste all Europe.
Every section of Paris, is assembled this day, to purify the armed force of the capital. We are assured that a most excellent spirit is manifested in all of them, and that the Terrorists at last begin to tremble at the powerful measures taking against them. All who have been denounced for their bad Principles, are disarmed and imprisoned. Thus, except a few bad fellows who may have escaped in the crowd, the population of Paris, may now be said to be purged.
The military commission is also busied without intermission in trying, and condemning the chiefs of the last conspiracy.
One fact worthy of remark, is that if those who are accused of royalism, have taken an active part in the late troubles, it has always been in favour of the government. For, as the late insurrection was a war of robbers against proprietors, all those who had a little patrimony to preserve, naturally lent all their strength to crush the pillagers.
It is said that the Committee of General Wel
fare had lately enlarged from prison, several men, known for the depravity of their manners and the ferocity of their principles, who have not a little contributed to excite the last revolt. If this is true, the Committee will no doubt repair a fault or rather an imprudence which might have been fatal to the public happiness.
One bad effect of the late convulsion, has been, that three hundred thousand citizens of Paris, have been four whole days without working. Those who consider the loss suffered, by a state, when general labour ceases for any length of time, may calculate that of the French Empire from the invasion in which we have been, for near half a decade.
The feast of Pentecost, has also taken another day from work, all Paris has celebrated this holy day; for the shops are every where shut. Philosophers will call it superstition; but we answer them, that such superstition at least, is not so dangerous as those savage howlings, with which for almost six years, the Jacobins have made the vaults of their dens re-echo. It is better to be a little credulous, and respect the life, honour, and property of our fellow-men.
FRENCH NATIONAL CONVENTION.
A detachment from the grenadiers of the army of the Sambre and Meuse, destined to form the guard of the National Convention, were admitted to the bar; they declared their entire devotion to the National Representation, and expressed their sense of the honour done them by being called to such a post. The President gave the fraternal embrace to the Orator of the detachment, as Representative of the army of the Sambre and Meuse.
LIVERPOOL, June 15. A letter direct from Paris, was received on yesterday evening by a respectable house in Manchester, from M. Perregaux and Co. the French national Bankers, giving the following important information.—“That the decree of the National Convention, on the 10th of October, 1793, ordering that all property belonging to English subjects should be confiscated, is reversed—by a second decree of the third of January last.—All specie and effects of every kind, are ordered, therefore, to be restored, and are now ready to be disposed of, as the respective proprietors in this kingdom may direct.”
Great preparations are making for encamping the troops along the North coast; and on Wednesday last Lord Grey de Wilton arrived at Tynemouth barracks, and joined his regiment of Royal Lancashire Fencibles.
Independent of the advantages already given to the inhabitants of the United Provinces, by an act of this session, chap. 80. which passed the 22d of last month. Any ship or vessel of theirs brought by them to this country, may under certain conditions be registered at the Custom-house of this kingdom, for the European trade.—Their goods and effects deposited at this time at Hamburg or any port in Germany, the Baltic or East Country, may be brought into any port of this country, in any bottom of their's, or any neutral or British bottom, without any embarrassing restriction, and may remain until the proprietors determine as to the disposal of them by sales either for exportation or for consumption of them in this kingdom. All household furniture, pictures, &c. proved to be the sole private property of such inhabitants, may be landed and made use of, duty free.
On the 5th inst. arrived at Hull, the American ship Peggy, Capt. Van Ransteller, which vessel left Havre-de-Grace the Sunday morning before. Major Campbell of the 69th regiment, who was taken prisoner with General O'Hara at Toulon, came in her as a passenger. Capt. Ransteller was at Paris during the whole of the late commotions, and says, that at one time the Jacobin party, in opposition to the Convention, had not less than 60,000 men in arms, to which the Convention opposed an army of 100,000; but no action took place between them. At present, however, tranquility is restored to the capital, and the Convention has resumed its functions and powers. In every part of France where the Captain has been, the crops of corn upon the ground appear to be in great forwardness, and the approaching harvest is likely to be very abundant.
BRIDGETOWN, (Barbadoes) June 15. Yesterday arrived his Majesty's cutter brig Drake of 18 guns, one of the convoy of the W. India fleet, which failed from Portsmouth on the 25th May; also ships Zepher, of St. Vincent, and Fanny, of St. Kitts, which were part of the above fleet, but being separated in a gale of wind on the 27th, proceeded on their voyage. The Fanny was spoke on the 8th inst. by three British line of battle ships, with a great number of troops on board, but could not learn their destination although enquiry was made.
The affairs of St. Lucia have come to a more final issue: the soldiery (we can scarcely call them British) have fled from their post, and abandoned the island to their sans Culotte assailants; and disgraceful to relate, left a number of their countrymen a prey to the rapacity of their blood thirsty enemies.
The evacuation of St. Lucia took place on the 19th inst.—so great a mystery hangs over this event, that we cannot state all the particulars relative to it; certain it is, however, that something disgraceful attends it. Letters which we have seen, from Martinico, mention it with disgust; our correspondent there assures us that a considerable quantity of powder was left behind in the garrison, and not a gun spiked or its being abandoned. Several soldiers who were not apprized of the retreat, were inhumanely murdered by the Brigandson taking possession of the place, and their bodies thrown over the walls of the garrison amidst the shouts of Vive la Republique.
MIDDLETON, July 24. From Fort Royal, June 20.
Yesterday morning the British fled from St. Lucia, with all the confusion imaginable. I have informed you that the French had stormed Pigeon-Island—immediately on that they pined the British up in Fort Morn. On Wednesday last they got three batteries ready to play on the fort, they then sent in a flag for the surrender of the fort, and gave four hours for an answer; as soon as the time was elapsed they began to throw their shells and cannonade the fort, this continued till Friday night, when they stormed some of their out works. A council of war was immediately called and determined to evacuate the fort, but the evacuation terminated, as the British evacuation generally does, in a fight, with the loss of every thing—their sick and wounded left to the mercy of their victorious enemy; arms, ammunition, not a gun spiked, nor a soldier saved his knapsack, not an officer a second shirt—all left behind. This may seem a little strange, but I am an eye and ear witness to the facts. The men of war have just anchored in this road—they cut their cables and were obliged to leave a great number behind. They say the number brought off is about 1100, but unless some of them are gone to other Islands, I do not believe they are so many. At the time of their flight they lined the shores, and the slaughter was great. I have conversed with a number of British officers, from whom I have the account, they estimate the French at St. Lucia, at 5000 men. Thus Sir, while these seas have three Admirals, to wit, Ford, Thompson, and Colvile, the last (who Visitor Hughes calls Admiral Blockade) and 32 ships of the line and 24 frigates. Visitor Hughes, with a number of small sloops and schooners, is making the greatest conquest that was ever made in this part of the globe with so few men, and striking terror through the islands. Where they will stop no one can tell.”
BALTIMORE, July 15. Capt. White, of the Schooner Barbary, arrived a few days since, informs, that the only place held by the British in the island of St. Vincent's was the town of Kingston, where the inhabitants had embarked on board the shipping in the harbour, momentarily expecting to quit the place.
PHILADELPHIA, July 18. Yesterday arrived the ship Columbus, Captain Dillon, 70 days from Havre-de-Grace, from whose log book we have the following extracts.—May 3, at 2 P. M. lat. 50, 27, Cape Barfleur bore S.W. distance 6 leagues, was boarded by an English frigate called the Melampus, in company with two others, on a cruise: The officers who came on board the Columbus examined Capt. Dillon's papers, but finding no French property, politely dismissed him. June 24, lat. 38, 11, saw a ship a-head, which appeared to be in distress; bore down for her, but before he could render any assistance, she got on her beamends—on getting along side her, she appeared to have no living soul on board: she was newly painted black and yellow, no name on her stern, without colours, black sides, with ports between decks, and two wooden guns on her larboard quarter, three top-gallant yards across, her main-top sail unbent, and no boat on deck—her anchors unfurled; she seemed to be a Swedish or Danish built vessel. Soon after we left her she went down. July 1, lat. 56, 58, long. 64, spoke the brig Mercury, of Bolton, Capt. Brooks, from Savannah bound to Bremen, out 12 days, in a leaky condition—gd. at 4 P. M. lat. 36, 10, long. 69, spoke a brig from Cadiz bound to New-York, 8 weeks out, and 3 days destitute of provision, which Capt. Dillon supplied.—She had no name on her stern, but they said she was called the Brothers, Capt. Vincent, under American colours, until we made sail, then hoisted an English ensign. In the Columbus came 13 passengers, among whom came that distinguished and persecuted patriot, ARCHIBALD HAMILTON ROWAN, Esq.
THE TREATY.
NEW-YORK, July 22.
Our readers will recollect that the tumultuous meeting of Saturday the 18th inst. terminated by an adjournment to the Monday following.
At 12 o'clock on Monday, a large body of people again assembled; but the Republican friends to order and discussion, purposely restrained from attending the Meeting, and the despotic and learned promoters of a violent and hasty condemnation of the Treaty, being left masters of the field, proceeded to confirm the appointment of the Committee, and unanimously passed 15 resolutions, expressive of detestation of the Treaty, &c.
The business was much better conducted in Bolton. There every man was challenged to the ground of discussion—Here, though an attempt was made by many to exercise their rights as citizens, in investigating a matter of general concern; yet they were tyrannically silenced, by a purposely raised tumult. Here, when a slight effort was made to prevent one gentleman from speaking, it was unanimously condemned. There, even some papers, justify the abuse of power in the majority, tacitly appropriate the pelting of stones, &c. to silence some of the Speakers.
Last evening the Chamber of Commerce in this city, in a very full meeting, and by a very great majority of voices, passed several Resolutions on the Treaty; which were ordered to be sent to the President. In one respect these resolutions will differ widely from some others that have been passed on the subject—they were not passed until the treaty had been laid before the company, and maturely considered.

BOSTON, July 29.
From LISBON—June 5.
We have received several letters from Lisbon, by the latest arrival. The following are extracts:—“Lisbon, June 5. The Portuguese are strong in the Mediterranean against the Algerines; therefore nothing is to be dreaded from them—neither have we heard of any depredations made by the Moors. Col. HUMPHREYS arrived last month at Gibraltar from America, and it is supposed every thing will be amicably settled with the Barbary Powers.”
A letter from Mr. Simpson, the American Consul at Gibraltar, confirms the above; and contradicts the infidious reports some time since circulated, of a truce being brought about by Great-Britain and Spain, between the Portuguese and Algerines.
The famous General Clark, has under the sanction of Genet's commission, undertaken an expedition against the Spanish town of St. Augustine. Several of the Georgians have joined him; and his expectations of success are much flattered by a prevailing scarcity in that place, and the revolutionary wishes of the inhabitants.
Several vessels full of passengers have recently arrived at New-York and Philadelphia, from Ireland.
The Cashier of the Nantucket Bank, has offered a reward of 1000 dollars for detecting the thieves who lately robbed that Bank. We are happy to learn, that the robbery has not in the least affected the Stock, as the instalments were instantly supplied.
Mr. Pinckney, the American Minister, set out from Dunkirk on the 14th June for Madrid; he took the route of Paris.
The report of the late arrival at New-York, of the Algerine Prisoners, is premature.
A letter from JAMES SIMPSON, Esq. Consul of the U. S. of America, at Gibraltar, to Messrs John Buckley and Son, at Lisbon, dated 21st May, 1795, says—“I trust the American Flag will henceforward be free from any insult from the Moorish cruisers, and that I shall soon have the satisfaction of acquainting you that all matters have been settled in that quarter.—You will hear from our mutual friend, Col. Humphreys—I was very happy to see him arrive in good health.”
EXPEDITION AGAINST FLORIDA.
The expedition against the Spanish possessions in Florida, from the State of Georgia, is again revived—nor does its appearance seem less portentous to the peace of the United States than the complete success to the views of the leaders. Gen. Clark, of Georgia, who took a commission in the French service, is said to be one leader—a Capt. Lang another—who together have raised a revolt throughout East-Florida, which Spanish latitude will find a difficulty in suppressing—especially as the inhabitants of East-Florida, in general, and a large majority of those of West-Florida, are ripe for revolt, and will undoubtedly join the invaders.
WEST-INDIA AFFAIRS.
By late arrivals, condensed, seem to stand thus:—Guadaloupe, long since retaken by the republicans.
Martinico, attempted by the French.
St. Lucia, possessed by the French.
Grenada, (it is said) ruined, possessed by Dutch loyalists.
St. Vincents, laid waste, and in statu quo.
Antigua, unsafe.
Dominica, on the verge of being possessed by the republicans.
Barbadoes, in the midst of this calamitous situation, to which the West-Indies are reduced, still remained secure. How long this may be, the virtue of her sons can only determine.
The English ministry are unceasing in their efforts to distress France—and their expedients to this end threaten extensive misery. Few French frigates are said to be cruising;—whether from policy or necessity, is not known. Of the many provision vessels bound to France from neutral nations, very few are supposed to escape being taken and carried into English ports—as their cruisers have in a manner lined the French coast.
According to a statement, laid before the Convention by Durand-Maillane, the number of individuals emigrated from France during the time from May 1, 1793 to May 1, 1795, amounts to 85,000.
The French armies have 13,000 surgeons, and 4750 apothecaries!!
We are informed, that the present situation of the Inhabitants of East Florida, is distressing beyond conception, that they are reduced to penury and starvation, even nature having denied them her accustomed relief.
The fish which was formerly the subsistence of the poor, having deserted their coast.
Extract of a Letter from an American Gentleman of great celebrity, now in France, to his friend in America, dated
Paris, March 6, 1795.
“I know not how matters are going on your side of the water, but I think every thing is not as it ought to be. The appointment of Governor Morris to be Minister here, was the most unfortunate and the most injudicious appointment that could be made. I wrote this opinion to a respectable citizen of the United States at the time, and I said the same thing to Morris himself—had he not been removed at the time he was, I think the two countries would have been involved in a quarrel; for it is a fact that he would have been ordered away, or put in arrestation, for he gave every reason
to suspect, that he was secretly a British emissary.
“What Mr. JAY is about in England, I know not; but it is possible, that any man who has contributed to the Independence of America, and to free her from the tyranny of the British Government, can read without shame and indignation, the note of JAY to Grenville—That the United States has no other resource than in the justice and magnanimity of his Majesty—is a satire upon the declaration of Independence, and exhibits a spirit of meanness on the part of America, that (were it true) I should be ashamed of her. Such a declaration may suit the Spanish character of Aristocracy, but it cannot agree with the character of a Republican.”
“We know it is true.”
AUGUST 3.
Peace with Spain—Important.
By an arrival at New-York, in 47 days from Havre, letters are received, which mention that PEACE had actually taken place between France and Spain.
CONFIRMATION.
The following important paragraph was written by a gentleman well known in this town, to a merchant of eminence, and is therefore entitled to much credit.
“Havre, June 12, 1795.”
“The terms of peace with Spain have been read in the National Convention, by which the Spaniards are to pay an indemnity of one million of dollars and are to enter into an alliance with France offensive and defensive.”
TONNAGE—FACTS.
By the regulations of the colonies, under the French Monarchy, the citizens of the United States are permitted to trade to the French islands in vessels of all sizes not being under 60 tons, and are permitted to enter all the principal ports in those islands, with the produce of the United States—it is true by some of the Colonial regulations, we were restricted in bringing some articles from thence to the United States; but that restriction has seldom been enforced, and the citizens of the United States, have brought from those islands whatever they pleased.
By the pending Treaty with Britain no American vessel can go to the British islands over 70 tons, and then are to carry nothing there which is prohibited to British vessels to be carried from the United States; this restriction prohibits our carrying thither any Beef, Pork, Hams, Butter, Lard, dry or pickled Fish, Pickles, Vinegar, Cyder, Beans, loaf Sugar, Tobacco, Snuff, Bricks, or any article the manufacture of the United States. What then can we carry thither under the British Treaty? Answer—Nothing but lumber and Naval stores; and what quantity of lumber can be carried in a vessel of 70 tons burthen?
But wherefore should we refer to the French Treaty made under the monarchy? When the propositions recently offered by the French Republic were to open all their Colonies to American vessels of all sizes, and to admit all produce whatever from the United States? But alas! the Senate were not in session.
BRITISH SPOLIATIONS.
“By authority.”
From PHILADELPHIA, July 25.
Extract of a letter from Capt. James Jaffries, of the ship Neptune, dated Portsmouth, (Eng.) June 24, 1795, to his friend in Wilmington.
“I am sorry to inform you, that on the 20th of May, in lat. 47. 30. long. 6. 40. on my passage from Charleston bound to Bourdeaux, I fell in with admiral Waldo-grave's Squadron consisting of five line of battle ships and a frigate; and after having my papers overhauled, they were taken from me and put into the hands of an officer, with directions to take charge of the ship, and carry her into the first convenient port in England within the land's end. They took ten seamen out of our ship, leaving on board only myself, the mate, Mr. Harrison (a passenger) one seaman, the carpenter, steward and cook, in all seven men; and in lieu thereof, put on board a master's mate, a midshipman, one seaman, and nine people who knew not one rope from another. On the 31st, we fell in with another fleet, in sight of the Isle of Wight, which consisted of several men of war and a large number of merchantmen, bound to Halifax and Quebec: they took out of us the remainder of our people, to a single man, leaving only myself, the mate and Mr. Harrison. In this situation we arrived here yesterday in the evening.—What we are sent for we are much at a loss to know, not having on board one farthing worth of any property but what belongs to Messrs. John Price and Co. of Charleston, and myself; and our papers are as clear as possible, with the necessary certificates to certify that the whole was American property, and all our seamen with sufficient certificates, as also for the ship. What detention we must meet with here, I have little guess; it may amount to legal adjudication for what I know; but I cannot say; I am much in fear—Should they give me the ship to-morrow, I know not what I should do for seamen. Mr. Harrison is this morning gone to London to see Mr. Pinckney, and to learn if possible, what the ship is sent for here. The mail being this evening made up for Halifax and New-York, gives me a short time to inform you concerning our business.”
A mercantile house in this city has received a letter from Messrs. Brickwood, Patle and Co. of London, which informs that orders have been issued by the British government to the commanders of ships of war and privateers, to take all American vessels bound to Holland, Hamburg, &c. and to carry them into the dominions of Great Britain; the cargoes there to
be disposed of at public auction for the benefit of the shippers. It is added, that this order is considered as favourable to the American merchants.
From HARTFORD, July 27.
While the citizens of Boston are assembling to reject unheard, the Treaty lately negotiated with Great-Britain—While the citizens of New-York are throwing stones and brick bats at those who speak in favor of the Treaty, the inhabitants of this State are busily employed in harvesting their grain, for the relief of their “distressed brethren,” and, as far as we can hear, are generally satisfied with the decision of the Senate. So long as they are free from debt and taxes, have plentiful crops, a high price, and good markets, they will not be easily duped by the frenzy of a Boston Town-Meeting or a New-York Democratic Society.
NEWBURYPORT, July 28.
Captain Moulton, arrived at this port on Saturday last, informs that the Concorde was at Guadaloupe on the 4th July, with the National Flag flying, and that he dined with the Capt. at Petit Canal on the 3d. The Concorde, with two ships of the same force and one 32, took 14 sail of transports, being part of a fleet of 30 sail, under convoy of one 74 and three frigates, with troops on board, bound to the West-Indies, which had all arrived. Capt. M. further adds, that the island of Guadaloupe is ‘completely blockaded’ with English prizes.
JULY 30.
Last evening arrived here Capt. Pierce, in a brig, from Jamaica—on his passage spoke with Capt. Butler in a schooner, out 60 days, from Maderia, bound to Philadelphia, he informed Capt. Pierce that a Treaty was positively concluded between the Dey of Algiers and America—that he had seen official letters from Mr. Church containing the same. Capt. B. was destitute of provisions, and was supplied by Capt. Pierce.
PORTSMOUTH, August 4.
Extract of a letter from a Captain in Martinique to his owner in this town, dated July 7.
“On the 29th June 5000 British troops arrived here, it is said they are destined to go against Guadaloupe. The French have got possession of the whole of St. Lucia, and the English are determined to make prizes of all vessels bound there or for Guadaloupe.”
Sunday arrived here the schooner Industry, Capt. Stewart, in 16 days from Antigua, all hands well. July 22, in lat. 28. long. 65. spoke the brig Resolution, of this port, out 25 days, all well. July 23, in lat. 29. long. 44. spoke the brig Fanny, Capt. Hopkins out 14 days, all well. July 29, in lat. 39. long. 68. spoke the sloop Bessey, from Bolton. Capt. Stewart on the 30th July, in lat. 40. long. 68. was boarded by the schooner Hornet, a Bermudian privateer, the Capt. of which, after examining his papers, dismissed him without offering the least abuse. Capt. Stewart brings an account of the Concord, Aurora and another French ship of 50 guns having taken 12 or 13 sail of transports with 800 troops on board, 4 sail of merchantmen and 1 sloop of war, all of which had arrived safe in different ports at Guadaloupe.
