TO BE SOLD,
A small Farm
IN CANTERBURY,
CONTAINING about 40 acres, mostly under improvement, has a very good barn and comfortable house with three rooms and two fire places, is well watered and well proportioned as to mowing, pasturing, and tillage; cuts hay sufficient to keep three or four cows and would pasture the same; there is likewise a piece of low land containing three or four acres well ditch'd, mostly clear'd and sown with grass feed, which will very soon add considerably to the quantity of hay now cut; has a thrifty young orchard of about 150 trees, many of which bear, and will this year, if a good season for cider be likely to make 6 or 8 barrels, is chiefly fenced with new chestnut fence and stone wall.
Said farm is pleasantly situated on the main road leading from Concord to Sanbornton, and but seven miles from Concord Court-House; four roads meet at said farm, which renders it very convenient for a tavern, trader, or tradesman, and it is particularly so for a tanner or blacksmith: It will be sold very reasonable for cash in hand, and the purchaser may enter into possession this spring, if applied for immediately, a reasonable credit if requested will be given for one half with good security; for further particulars apply to the subscriber living in Epsom, to Capt.

AGRICULTURAL.
From the Columbian Centinel.
MR. RUSSELL, YOU are desired to insert the inclosed communication, to the Massachusetts Society, for promoting Agriculture, by direction of the Trustees: I am, your most obedient humble servant.—
OLIVER SMITH, Corresponding Sec'y.
Bridgeton, Cumberland County, Dec. 1794. To OLIVER SMITH, Esq. Corresponding Secretary, for the Massachusetts Agricultural Society.
SIR, HAVING for some years past, discovered that there was a growing evil, attending our young apple trees, in the district of Maine, some specimens of which I have seen in other parts of the Commonwealth, but not to any
considerable degree, I have made some observations on the subject, which I shall communicate, in hopes they may be a means of leading to the discovery of some effectual cure.
The difficulty is, what is generally called lice, the appearance of which is in form, like half a kernel of rye (but not more than one sooth part so large) with the flat side sticking to the smooth bark of the tree; they resemble blisters, and are near the color of the bark. These blisters contain from ten to thirty nits or eggs, each, in form like a snake's egg, which in a common season, begin to hatch about the twenty fifth of May, and finish about the 10th of June. These nits, produce a white animalcule, resembling a louse, so small they are hardly perceptible by the naked eye, which immediately after they are hatched, open a passage at one end of the blister, and crawl out on the bark of the tree, and there remain with but little motion about ten days, when they stick themselves fast to the bark of the tree and die. From this little carcase arises a small speck of blue mould, which is most plain to be seen between the 10th and 20th of June, and continues about 15 days, and then gradually wears off until the old carcase appears, which by this time is formed into a new blister and contains the spawns or nits before mentioned.—These blisters prevent the circulation of sap, and prove as fatal to the tree, as the canker worm. In order to remedy the difficulty, I have made many experiments within a few years, but to no good effect, not knowing then the particular season when these animalcules could be most easily destroyed, which I have lately found to be between the time they hatch and that when the mould leaves them. The application that I have found most effectual, is washing the tree with lye or brine; lime also mixed with lye, to the consistency of white wash, may be useful; and although the small branches cannot be cleansed in this manner without much difficulty, still if the body of the tree and the branches near the body, is kept clean until there becomes a rough bark, I think the lice will not kill the tree. Some people have recommended the application of train oil to the tree, which indeed is a powerful antidote against lice, but being of a glutinous quality, is very detrimental to the tree. Inoculation has been proposed, which I think will have no effect at all on the lice, for I perceive they hatch in May, on the branches that were pruned of the tree in March, and the sap is entirely extinguished. These lice are natural in the uncultivated forest, on what is called moss wood, and other bushes. Much care should be taken on their first appearing in an orchard or nursery, as the cutting down and destroying a few young trees is of no importance, compared with the difficulty of having an orchard over run by them. As the above was penned for the general good, if you find any thing therein contained that is new or likely to be beneficial to the public, you will make use thereof as you judge best. With respect and esteem, I am your humble servant,
ENOCH PERLEY.
From the Columbian Centinel.
More of White Beans.
MR. RUSSELL,
I OBSERVED with pleasure in your last Wednesday's Centinel, some observations on the article of White Beans—I fully and experimentally agree with the ideas of a "Farmer's Friend" and really believe him to be such.
As every Farmer may not have in his possession, that valuable book, DEAN, on Husbandry, permit me, through the channel of your valuable and extensively circulating paper, to quote what Mr. D. says on the culture of the beans. "The field White Beans should be sowed in the drill method, for the convenience of hoeing between the rows. They grow best on dry and warm soils, but moderately rich. The way to harvest them is to pull them up by the roots, a short time before the first frost is expected, and let them lie on the field—the green ones will soon ripen and escape injury from the frost—they must be gathered in and secured before they begin to shatter out of the pods. The haun or vines should not be wasted, but carefully preserved, they are a fodder which sheep are very fond of."
The suspicious Farmer may be fearful, that if a considerable cultivation should take place, there would not be an adequate demand. Beans constitute the largest proportion of pulse used in the navies of Portugal and Spain. In most countries where the Roman Catholic religion is professed, it is one of the principal articles of food on days prescribed from using meats, and from its low price for the quantity of food it affords, may be considered as among the articles of first necessity to the bulk of the people. Hitherto their foreign supplies have been, and largely, drawn from the parts of Holland, Prussia, and from Poland, by the Bal-
tick ports; it requires little political knowledge to determine, that supplies from those quarters will be small and precarious.
Beans require as little culture, and drain the land of its richness as little as any thing that is committed to it. Let us suppose that in addition to the land he commonly cultivates, each farmer cultivates half an acre in white beans, the produce of which will most probably be 12 bushels, and the value at the sea ports as many dollars; I think I should not make a bold assertion, should such a plan be adopted, and which is in the power of every industrious farmer, that the amount would exceed the expenses of the civil list, of this state annually. Happy country, that by industry, small as that, can support one of the freest and best governments on earth, contrasted with the yeomanry of other countries, who toil from morn to night to support the shadow of a government, and are still but slaves—how happy are ours.
Every day the character of American exports, I hope will appreciate; nothing will tend so much as private attention in the first, and good inspection laws in the second instance.
If the smallest benefit accrues from these, or some future observations that I shall communicate to you on other articles, the produce of this State, usually exported in too negligent a manner, I shall be amply compensated.
Yours, &c.
"Hail Agriculture! by whose parent aid, The deep foundations of our States are laid— The seeds of greatness by thy hand are sown; Thy seeds shall mature with thee, and time alone, But still conduct us on thy sober plan, Great source of wealth, & earliest friend of man."
BOSTON.
FRATERNAL FEAST.
On Tuesday 7th April, was celebrated in this town, the late glorious successes of France, & the restoration of the liberties of our allies the citizens of Holland. The day was ushered in with the ringing of bells, and the joy of the citizens was fully evidenced thro' the day, by the discharge of cannon, the display of the French and American flags in unison, and the sound of martial music thro' the town.
At two o'clock, a respectable company of French, American & Dutch citizens repaired to Faneuil-Hall, where was provided by Citizen Julien, an elegant, and truly republican entertainment; the Hall and tables were beautifully decorated on the occasion. The repast was highly gratifying to all present, as the fraternity which enlivened every countenance, reciprocated the most pleasing sensations.
The Governor accompanied by the French Consul, entered the Hall at about half past 2, amidst the loudest applause of his fellow citizens. The gentlemen Selectmen, a number of civil and military officers of the State, and a truly fraternal band of Merchants, Mechanics & French and Dutch citizens were present on this joyful occasion—and the whole proceedings of the day were conducted with that order, decency and sobriety which ever characterises democratic republicans. In the evening the temple of the North Church was illuminated.
The following are the Toasts given on the occasion, viz;
 1st. The People and Government of the United States.  2. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  3. That Luminary of Freedom the Republic of France.  4. The people of the United Netherlands.—May Humanity mark the progress of the Revolutionary Government, and continue to be the order of the day.  5. The armies of France.—May the magnanimity of their conduct towards their vanquished enemies, convince the world, that the Republican sword is drawn, not to destroy, but to support the Rights of man.  6. The Navy of France.—May it vindicate the oppressed, and protect the free.  7. Glory to the Patriot, amnesty to the deluded, protection to the innocent, and punishment only to the traitor.  8. Agriculture.—May the enlightened yeomanry of all democratic Republics, know, feel and retain their weight in the scale of government.  9. The arts and Sciences.—May the citizens of all free governments always remember that information is the nurse of Freedom, and improvement, her strength.  10. Commerce.—May none but the free enjoy its blessings.  11. Distraction to the councils, and defeat to the arms of all powers combined against the liberties of mankind.  12. May the triumph of freedom soon be the harbinger of universal peace.  13. A defensive and perpetual alliance between the three sister Republics, to maintain the common principle of their respective constitutions of government.

FRANCE.
BREST, Dec. 31.
The grand fleet composed of 35 ships of the line (Le Fongeux included, which arrived from Rochefort to replace Le Republicain driven on a rock near the entry of the harbour;) 15 frigates, and 13 sloops and cutters in all 60 sail left the road, and proceeded partly on a cruise in the channel; they were provided with stores and provisions. Vice admiral Villaret commands in chief; rear admiral Bouyer, the second squadron; Neilly the 3d squadron; Vanflabe lately arrived from Ostend, and Trenquelen the light squadron, and admiral Vanier the rear-guard. The division of one 84 and seven 74 gun ships under admiral Renaudin failed on a secret expedition with stores and provisions for six months.
The representatives of the people Taure and Trahouart were on board the admiral's ship La Montagne; the latter is known as a bold and intelligent seaman.
The greatest activity is displayed in fitting the following ships of war at Brest.
Le Venguer du pays carrying in all 130 guns. It is a new ship, the largest and stoutest of all Europe.
L'Invincible of 110 guns, also a new ship.
3 Ships of 74 guns, one of which is a new ship.
Daily expected from L'Orient, 1 of 84 guns } new ships. 2 of 74 4 Ships from Rochefort. 1 of 100 guns. 2 of 84 1 of 74 3 Frigates.
In all 12 ships of the line and 17 frigates which will soon be ready for sea, besides many of the ships on the stocks in the three mentioned ports are in great forwardness, and according to the reports sent in by the different naval departments, the ships of war launched and fitting in the other republican ports on the Ocean amount to 59 frigates, corvettes, brigs, &c.
A whole battalion of Chouans, who had laid down their arms, arrived here on the 30th December, and were incorporated with the regiments of marines. Curiosity induced many citizens to go and see them.
They are all stout peasants dressed in rags, speak the idiom of lower Brittany and understand not a single word of French; they seem extremely pleased with the change of their situation, bless the Convention for the decree which rendered them to the service of their country, and will form excellent soldiers; for during the latter two years they grew familiar with all the hardships of war and gave but too many proofs of their desperate courage.
NIMÉGUEN, Feb. 12.
The German Gazette of Straßburg, gives the following Anecdote.
When Baron de Stael arrived in Switzerland, he was invited to a dinner in the diplomatic manner. He appeared with the National Cockade, as did likewise his lady. Their excellencies the ministers of Russia, England, Spain and Naples, were seized with terror at the sight of this dreadful ensign of liberty. Baron de Stael, who perceived their convulsive motions, said to them with dignity, "I am sent by Sweden to do homage to the sovereignty of the French people, I must therefore conform myself to their customs before I put my foot into that regenerated country, and I must try to gain the good will of its inhabitants by wearing those colors which are so dear to them.—I am far from blushing at this token of friendship and gratitude. Sweden may well do voluntarily, and of her own inclination what you and your masters will be obliged to do in a short time, in spite of yourselves. The continual victories of the French assure me of it."
No body replied to this so unexpected harangue. They sat down to table and the utmost silence reigned during the dinner.
We just now learn by a private letter that the Stadholder is arrived in England with his whole family. He occupies one of the royal castles in the neighborhood of London.
From TOULON.
Agreeable to a resolution of the representatives of the people, this port has again assumed the name of Toulon, instead of Port-de-la-Montagne. The division some time since departed for Algiers and composed of the following ships of war, la Minerve of 44 guns, l'Arthemise of 36, l'Alceste of 36, la Couragenle of 36, la Brune of 22, la Hazard of 16 and l'Expédition of 14 guns, are just returned with 26 rich prizes. They sunk a great many more and brought above 600 prisoners, besides 28 of the cidevant grandees who were found on board one of the prizes.
A great many Greek and Genoese vessels laden with wheat and other provisions arrive daily in this port under Turkish colours. The activity which reigns in the dockyards is surprising; 21 ships of the line are ready for sea and before the close of the third year of the Republic, the Toulon fleet will be composed of 30 ships of the line chiefly new ones and constructed in a masterly manner.
The immense preparations for a secret expedition are continued with the utmost ardour. Great George will soon feel the whole weight of his newly acquired crown, and fond England must at last avow that the pretended diadem of Corsica was nothing but a bubble.
LONDON, Feb. 10.
Accounts brought from Vienna, by Saturday's mail, mentions that 80,000 Russians are expected in Poland, and that 40,000 of them are intended to be sent against the French, early in the spring, under General Soltikow. This corps is to be fed and paid by the Cabinet of Great-Britain, which it is observed, are induced to continue the war, solely in confidence of this new assistance, which they have no doubt will induce the French to grant honorable terms of peace.
The Emperor has threatened the city of Ulm with military execution, the Burghers having refused to let the cannon be removed from the arsenal, and otherwise resisted the Magistrates and the Duke of Württemberg.
In the late operations on the frontiers of Holland, our troops accuse the Austrians of misconduct, and even of cowardice; a new proof of Mr. Fox's assertion, that effective co-operation between a British and Austrian army is not to be expected.
The Emperor has declared to his subjects, that he is under the necessity of continuing the war into which he has been forced by the French; but that the ordinary revenues not being sufficient for the great expenses, he is obliged to have recourse to extraordinary means; that he will, however, resort to the least burdensome, and demands of all his Hereditary States, a general Loan, for the year 1795. The lenders are to receive obligations, guaranteed by the States, bearing an interest of five per cent. This loan is to be on the same footing with that of 1794, with this difference—that the Magistrates and persons of property are to contribute double. The Jews are to pay 30 per cent. of their taxes, and the proprietors of houses in Vienna, 40 per cent. on their rent. Military men, actually in the field, foreigners whose income is drawn from abroad, and persons whose income is under a hundred florins a year are excepted.
Proceedings of the Germanic Diet at Ratisbon, to obtain a PEACE.
December 20.
In the Sitting of the Diet of yesterday, the Minister of the Elector of Bohemia, gave his opinion of a peace, which was in the affirmative; but the Minister expressed the same apprehensions already expressed by the Elector of Treves, respecting the difficulty of obtaining such an object, considering that there was not as yet any regular Government established in France.
December 26.
In the Sitting of the Diet on the 22d inst. all those votes of the States which were not given, were ultimately collected.
The Austrian Minister voted like the Bohemian.
The protocol being then opened for a general Conclusion, the Conclusion of the College of the Electors as the two Superior Colleges of the Empire, who gave their assent by a great majority of votes, was then taken for its basis.
All the free Imperial Cities joined in their votes with the two Superior Colleges.
The opinion of the elector of Hanover found very few converts; and the proposition of the Elector of Mentz, made by Baron Straufs, was so powerfully seconded by the Prussian and Bavarian Palatine Minister, that it passed by a great majority of suffrages.
The following are the principal points of the Conclusion:
 1. That it is becoming, the present situation of affairs, while, agreeable to the Resolution of the Diet, the preparations for a future campaign shall be continued in the Empire, serious overtures for an equitable and decent Peace ought to be made.  2. That the Germanic Empire is in hopes, that the French Nation, for the honour of suffering humanity, and considering that it has given cause for the present war (which has only been carried on by the Empire for the defence of its constitution, the preservation of its integrity, and the recovery of the spiritual and temporal privileges of the several States of the Empire; but by no means for the sake of intermeddling with the internal concerns of France, or for that of making conquests) will now finally feel itself inclined, after a devaluation which has lasted so many years, to desist in the same manner from this forced war with the Empire, and to co-operate by proper means to effect an equitable, decent and acceptable peace.  3. That it is, notwithstanding, not less advisable and expedient to prepare in case the farther continuation of the war should become unavoidable, with a general resistance on the part of the Empire, which shall be reinforced as much as possible, and to prepare for that purpose every thing that shall be required for a future campaign, by virtue of the Decrees of the Empire, and the more urgent dangers of the country.  4. That in this respect, the Emperor is to be requested to use his best offices, in the further co-operation of the Empire, and with the assistance of the King of Prussia, to obtain a previous Armistice, which may contribute to obtain a speedy and acceptable peace, agreeably to the Germanic Constitution, and corresponding with the stipulations of the Treaty of Westphalia. 
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS, Monday, Jan. 26.
Mr. Alderman Anderson presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen and Livery of the City of London, in Common-Hall assembled, of which the following is the substance: "That your petitioners deplore the evil consequences of war in general; but more particularly the calamitous effects of the
present war on the Trade, Manufactures and Commerce of the British Empire."
"Your petitioners conceive that none of the ends proposed by the present war, either have been, or are likely to be obtained, altho' it has been carried on at an unprecedented expence to this country, and has already produced an alarming increase of the National debt, augmented by subsidies to allies, who have not fulfilled their solemn engagements, or rendered adequate service for large sums actually received by them."
"Your petitioners, from their present view of public measures, presume humbly, but firmly, to express to this honorable House, their decided conviction, that the principle upon which the war appears now to be carried on, neither is nor can be essential to the Prosperity, the Liberty, or the Glory of the British Empire."
"Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that the honorable House, disclaiming all right of interfering in the internal concerns of France, will be pleased to take such measures, as they in their wisdom shall think proper for the purpose of promoting a speedy peace, between Great Britain and the power with whom we are at war."
We mentioned some time ago, on authority upon which we could depend, that the French fleet sailed with a squadron of eight ships of the line, and frigates, victualled for six months, and a squadron of four ships of the line, and frigates, victualled for three months, each of them with troops on board. Information is said to have been received at the admiralty, that the one failed for the West-Indies, and the other for the South Sea, perhaps the Cape of Good Hope.
It is said to be the intention of Government, to take into their service, the largest ships of the East-India Company, next in rotation, so as to make the number in all, amount to 25, all of which will carry 50 guns, and upwards. This fleet, with a few 74's, and a proper number of frigates, stationed on the North Sea, will be fully sufficient to keep in check, any Naval force, the Dutch may be able to fit out this summer, and will effectually protect the Northern part of this kingdom, from the present threatened invasion.
REPORT,
MADE TO THE NATIONAL CONVENTION, ON THE SUBJECT OF PEACE.
Boissy d'Anglas spoke to the order of the day, and made a detailed report on the situation of this vast empire, its relation with other people of Europe, and the true interest of the latter with respect to France.
"The moment draws near," said he, "when Europe, exhausted and humbled, will be obliged to sue for peace, when all the courts interested in the continuation of the war, but unable to support it, will endeavour to represent you as the authors of all the calamities of war, if peace is not restored to this continent. You will expose your designs with candor, and refute with energy the atrocious inculpatations your enemies intend to brand you with."
"The formal ceremonies of an insidious policy will give way to the frankness and energetic simplicity of a free people. Despots formed a league against us, ministers planned our destruction, the armies of Europe formed but one immense host, and moved like an impetuous torrent against us: but the intrepidity of the regenerated French in repulsing those foreign hordes, has proved that we are worthy of being free. The dream of conquering Republicans is over; they endeavour to calumniate us. We have no longer any thing to dread from the fury of kings. Their rage is a sign of impotence; their valiant troops are everywhere put to flight; the rights of nations, their opinions will always be sacred in our eyes; however we cannot suffer our intentions to be calumniated."
"The nations of Europe have groaned under the weight of taxes and famine these two years. Kings induce them to believe that we alone are averse to peace; that thirstily after blood and treasures, we strive for nothing but plunder and conquests."
"For the sake of humanity let us pull off the Machiavelic mask the crowned tyrants cover themselves with. Let us prove that we are willing to put an end to the war, though we do not fear it, that we conclude a peace because we love our fellow men; but let us prove also, that tedious or unimportant negotiations will never induce us to suspend the triumphant march of our armies. It is now when our armies march triumphant into Holland, and effect the conquest of the Seven Provinces in less time than one would spend in taking a cursory view of those countries; it is now in the midst of successes and victories, that we offer the olive branch to our enemies."
"The low cunning of Austria, the pride of Russia and the excentric ambition of England, have spread misery and destruction all over the world. It is to them we owe all the calamities under which Europe now labors. The policy of Vienna has long since been unveiled. The partition of Poland, the invasion, and afterwards the proposed exchange of Batavia, the war against the Ottoman Porte, have sufficiently disclosed the ambitious views of Austria; aggrandizement is the constant object of its solicitude. Leopold persuaded the powers of Europe to join against us; he hoped to detach Alsace and Lorraine from France; what good have all these intrigues produced for Austria? Francis fees his formidable armies destroyed, his finances exhausted, his credit annihilated, his artillery taken, and the reputation of his best generals vanished. He would be glad to make peace, because he is unable to continue the war."
"Prussia must at least see on which side good
faith is to be met with—Frederick William, acquainted with the real projects of Austria, will be eager to abandon a league which threatens the existence of his kingdom."
"No other choice remains to Spain, but to sue for peace, or to partake the fate of Holland."
"Let the powers of Europe open their eyes; let them consider the dangers they are threatened with by Russia and England: Russia covets the sovereignty over the earth, and Albion over the seas. Both powers have adroitly received every opportunity to aggrandize themselves; they marched like giants to the proposed aim; but French valor sets bounds to their ambitious projects, else liberty would have been lost forever in Europe."
"Those bold conquerors who submitted the different people of Europe, did not come from the Northern deserts: Russia for 60 years back follows the same track; she civilized her savage tribes, divided Poland, conquered the Crimea, threatened Greece, enchain'd the Caucasus, frightened Constantinople, dictated laws to Persia, humbled the Emperor of China, and has now enslaved the rest of Poland, in order to open a passage into Germany."
"Brave Danes and Swedes, the cause of the Russian torrent is directed against you. Attila, the scourge of mankind, appears again at the head of ferocious hords. Your independence is lost, if you do not frustrate the sinister projects of Catharine against your countries, your interest commands you to join us in order to oppose an impenetrable dyke to that destructive torrent."
"The British government insulted first our Ambassador, and accused us afterwards of having provoked the wars. They charge us with intolerance, and take up arms in favour of superstition, in order to force us to become fanatics. They speak of our ambition, and snatch greedily after the debased diadem of Corsica, presented by a vile band of traitors. They pretend us eager for new conquests and seize themselves on our islands, leave no part of the world undisturb'd wherever perfidy can open them a port, or bribery procure a spot of land. They say that we attack the independence of all nations; and they have at the same time employed every possible means, in order to force Genoa, Venice and Sweden to break a wise neutrality. They have encouraged, persuaded the Poles to begin a revolution and abandoned them with an unparalled perfidy to the vengeance of the Russian Empress."
"Wavering Spaniards! what is it you wait for? decide! do not you see haughty England plundering your Galloons, giving laws to Mexico, exulting over your feebleness from the top of Gibraltar's rock! Listen to the accents of truth and appreciate the calumnies directed against us. Abandon the British to their own forces; Pitt effects a good countenance, because he is afraid of a peace. Leave to France alone the care of taking vengeance on those tyrants of both hemispheres:—What is it you fear? The French people are too great, too powerful to take any advantage by perfidy."
"Our past dangers, our present victories, the necessity of fortifying ourselves against a new league, which might endanger our liberty, the right to indemnify ourselves for our multiplied losses and numerous sacrifices, obliged us to extend our frontiers, to chuse large streams, steep mountains and the ocean for boundary, in order to protect the republic before hand for many centuries, against any project of invasion on the part of our enemies."
"They pretend in vain that our government being only provisional, it cannot be expected to treat with us in a solid manner."
"Our government is the Plenipotentiary appointed by the mass of the French People, to terminate the revolution and the war. Has there ever been an ambassador invested with more ample powers? Peace concluded by us, must be more solid, because it will be the result of the will of all Frenchmen. Our government is the will of the nation; Justice is our strength; Humanity is the basis of our principles, and our guarantee is the loyalty and courage of a great people, that will be free."
"Examine that government; it has released the prisoners, encouraged industry, revived commerce, protected the arts, made justice the order of the day, in the interior of the Republic, and victory on the frontiers."
"And you dare still to doubt, whether a nation that knows how to conquer, be able to negotiate."
This report was often interrupted by the most lively applauses, and was ordered to be printed.
SHIP NEWS.
PHILADELPHIA, April 2.
Yesterday evening arrived the brig Betsey, Capt. Davidson, 50 days from Lisbon, he informs that the ship Dominick Terry, Dehart, and the brig Ann, both from Philadelphia, arrived there, and that 16 sail of American vessels belonging to different ports of America, were left there—the chiefest part of which were freighted for Hamburg.
Schooner Catharine, Galloway, from Gonaives in 15 days, informs, that off Cape Nicholas Mole, he spoke the schooner John of Marblehead, Capt. Lewis, from Port-au-Prince, homeward bound, but unfortunately having sprung a leak and was steering for the Mole, Captain Lewis informed Capt. Galloway, that he then had one foot of water in her hold, above his cargo, which consisted of coffee in bulk. Same day spoke the sloop John, of New-York, Capt. Waite from St. Thomas's, bound to Gonaives, all well.
NEW-YORK, April 6.
It appears by the English papers, that Mr. Pitt has negotiated with the East-India Com-

pany, for taking into government service, 30 of their large ships, which are to be fitted as men of war from 50 to 64 guns each.
It appears also, that the Admiralty have contracted with private builders, for a number of new 74 gun ships, frigates, &c.
British Depredations
ON AMERICAN PROPERTY!
BALTIMORE, March 31.
Capt. Jones informs, that the evening before he failed from Martinico, dispatches were received from the government house, that 1500 French troops had arrived from Cayenne at Grenada; the news was brought to Martinico, by a British armed schooner called the Fan fan, direct from Grenada. Capt. Jones spoke no vessel of consequence until Thursday last, when he was boarded by the Huzzar sloop of war, Captain Rowley. They took Capt. Jones, his supercargo, passengers, and all his hands on board the Africa, who was in company with the Huzzar and there detained them from 9 o'clock, A. M. until 6 P. M. in the interim they manned the Triton, and ordered her for Halifax, but the second thought was (as they supposed) the best. During Capt. Jones's detention, the Englishmen robbed the schooner of all they could conveniently lay their hands on, such as wearing apparel, a gold watch belonging to the supercargo, and all the liquor that were in the cabin.
An apprentice boy belonging to Capt. Jones was detained on board the Africa, and two young men belonging to the eastern shore of Maryland. April 6.
Arrived here on Saturday last, from Teneriffe, the schooner Little John, Capt. M'Quid, of this port. March 15, in lat. 22, 25, long. 64. spoke the Bellona, letter of marque, from Liverpool, bound to Jamaica, the Captain of which informed Capt. M'Quid, that orders had been issued by the English, in consequence of the French victory over Holland, or rather the Dutch revolution, to stop all Dutch vessels in the ports of Great-Britain; and that he and all other English cruisers were commissioned to take all Dutch vessels in their power that they met with, and send them into English ports.
Admiral Murray is now at anchor in Hampton-Road. We are informed that he made prizes of two ships a few days since, one of them the Pomon, from Bourdeaux, bound to Baltimore, having on board to the amount of 300,000 dollars in gold, put up in small casks, and hidden underneath the ballast. The other, the Ceres, belonging also to Baltimore, from Amsterdam, bound for Surinam, with a very valuable cargo. Mr. Purviance, the supercargo, was put on board the Thistle frigate, and both the ships under her convoy are sent to Halifax.
Saturday evening arrived Captain Booth, of the schooner Brothers, 12 days from Martinique, by whom we have received a positive confirmation of the surrender of Grenada and St. Lucia, the news of which was officially received at Martinique, while he was lying there. He informs that the French have likewise taken St. Vincent's and attacked Antigua with the greatest probability of success; that this account reached Martinique on the 15th, and on the 17th, a dispatch boat arrived, informing that if assistance was not immediately sent them, they should be compelled to surrender the island. The answer was they could send no men, as they had not a sufficient force to defend Martinique; that the French were meditating an attack upon it, and that they hourly expected it. The British and aristocrats, Capt. Booth says, were in the greatest consternation, and it was supposed that the island, when attacked would make but a feeble resistance. He likewise informs, that the republicans had made a vigorous attack upon Dominique, but with what success it had been attended, he had not learnt.
Capt. Boyd, who came passenger in the schooner Brothers, and left Martinique on the 18th ult., informs that all St. Lucia except one fort, was in possession of the republicans; that the natives of St. Vincent's had taken and demolished all the fortifications on the island but the principal fort which contained all the aristocrats whither they had fled for an asylum; that the whole of Grenada was in their possession, except the principal fort; and that the inhabitants of those islands were incessantly petitioning the commander in chief of the windward islands for assistance, which he informed them he could not grant. He also informs that on the 15th ult. an express arrived from Antigua, informing that the French had landed on the east part of the island. On the 13th, and it was reported that the republicans had landed on the N. E. side of Dominique, and that the people were in the greatest confusion.
PHILADELPHIA, April 10.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Baltimore to his friend in this city, dated April 4.
"By an arrival this day, 14 days passage from Martinique, we have intelligence, that French forces lately arrived at Guadalupe had since not only made themselves masters of Grenada, St. Vincent's, and St. Lucia, but that they had obtained a footing in Antigua, and what is more surprising, without much opposition, having spread terror wherever they appeared, I conversed with the Captain, and he is a man of truth, you may rely on this intelligence."
"I have just experienced another reverse in my West-India Commerce.—The proceeds of a schooner and cargo, value, about 20,000 dollars, of which I held a fourth, being taken in a ship belonging to this place, called the Euphrasia, by one of the British frigates, between the Capes Henry and Charles, and sent to Hali-
fax. The Euphrasia had been to Guadalupe, where she disposed of her cargo, after which she proceeded to St. Bartholomew's where she took on board my property, and after taking a neutral clearance, proceeded on her voyage for Baltimore."
"This ship was evidently taken within the limits of the United States, as will appear by the deposition of the Pilot who was on board her when captured, which deposition, as well as every other circumstance attending this vexatious spoliation, will be laid before our Executive for their interference in behalf of our long injured commerce."
An extract of a letter from Baltimore, dated the 6th inst. received by a gentleman in this city, mentions, "that the ship Euphrasia, of Baltimore, was taken in the mouth of the bay between the Capes, in four fathoms water, having a pilot on board. She is said to be from one of the French West India Islands, homeward bound."
Extract of a letter from Baltimore of the 5th inst.
"A gentleman called on me this morning, who came passenger in a vessel that arrived here last night from Martinique, who informs me that he left Martinique the 18th ultimo when Grenada, St. Vincent's and St. Lucia were in possession of the French, except one fortification in each of these islands, where some of the inhabitants had taken protection, but would not be able to hold out any time—that the French had landed at Dominico and Antigua also, and would shortly overrun all the British Islands to windward, unless speedily reinforced from England—that he saw at Guadalupe at least twenty thousand men, including people of all colour, completely armed and equipped, previous to their going against the British Islands; and that they are transported in small fast sailing vessels to avoid the British cruisers."
Sanction to British Depredations.
Chestnut Street, (Phila.) April 10, 1795.
His Britannic Majesty's Consul General for the Middle and Southern States of America, hereby gives public notice to the Merchants, Traders and others, whom it may concern, that he has received official Communications, that the islands of Guadalupe, Mariegalante and Desadea, are, by Proclamation issued by his Majesty's General and Vice-Admiral, commanding in the West-Indies, "declared to be in an actual State of Blockade.—And all neutral nations and their subjects are, thereby, enjoined and prohibited from attempting to enter any of the Ports or Places, of the said islands, with provisions or supplies of any nature or kind whatsoever;—and all neutral Ships or vessels, together with such Cargoes, found attempting to enter any, or either of such blockaded or invested islands, will be dealt with conformably to existing treaties, and as warranted by the established Laws of nations."
The British administration appear in their late measures absolutely beside themselves. Mr. Pitt persists in repelling every idea of negotiation with an obstinacy surely not justified by policy. If the British should at the present time make overtures for peace it is not to be supposed that the victorious French would hold out such terms as England could accept; but the attempt would unite Englishmen heart and hand in defence of their isle. At present they appear divided, and the downfall of their Minister is the only event that can give them a chance of escaping impending destruction.
Extract of a letter from Havre de Grace, dated January 27th, 1795.
"Every thing here appears to be life and animation—the harbour is filled with shipping, and commerce is fast rising her head in this regenerated land. Every comfort of life is enjoyed by the inhabitants; and, whatever report may say to the contrary, bread, beef, &c. are cheaper here than in the country I have just left, (England.)"
BOSTON, April 20.
Report says that the British government has declared war against the Dutch Republic, in consequence of which, it is said they have actually arrested SEVENTY MILLIONS of Dutch property in the British Funds—tho' it is undoubtedly private property.
O B S E R V A T I O N.
The seizure of Dutch property by order of government in England, is one of the important articles of intelligence by the late arrivals. It is more than probable that this imprudent measure will lead to a rupture between the general government of Holland and England. It would have been the policy of France to suffer the Batavians to remain neutral in the present war; but it is impossible they should sit quietly under the injury of so heavy a spoliation, and they have undoubtedly now openly joined the French.
French Fleet in the West-Indies.
Capt. Bacon in a schooner belonging to Portland, arrived here yesterday in 17 days from Martinico. We learn that Capt. Bacon spoke a vessel from Antigua, one day out, the Captain of which informed him that a French fleet consisting of 6 ships of the line, 5 frigates and 8000 troops had actually arrived at Guadalupe.
From NORFOLK, April 1.
By the brig Rover, Capt. Haynes, arrived here yesterday, in 13 days from Cape-Francois, we learn that a sloop of war had arrived there on the 16th of March, in 50 days from France, and brought out 5000 stand of arms, and 1000
barrels of powder. The sloop also informed, that 5 sail of the line were shortly to come out to that island.
Capt. Bent of the brig A B C. from Guernsey, informs, that a French fleet of 21 sail of the line were cruising off the Lizard.
From CADIZ,
SATURDAY last arrived ship Gen. Wayne, Capt. F. Hart, in 40 days from Cadiz—12th inst. spoke ship Hope, Capt. S. Fowler, from Liverpool, bound to Newbury, out 73 days—lat. 41, 40, long. 64, in a bad situation, having lost her rudder, and short of provisions—It blowing very fresh, Capt. Hart could give him no assistance.
Capt. Hart has favored us with the following
Copy of a letter from James Simpson, Esq. dated Gibraltar, Feb. 23d, 1795, to Maurice and John Roberts, of Cadiz.
GENTLEMEN,
I have your regarded favor of the 20th inst. and am sorry to confirm to you what you say you have heard, that there is every reason to believe Muley Soliman's cruisers will detain vessels of the United States. His brother, Muley Taib, Governor of Tangiers, told the Consuls so, when they accompanied the English Consul yesterday week, at his house, on the subject of the Newfoundland vessel carried into Tangiers, on suspicion of being an American. At the first news of this declaration of the Prince, I sent Mr. Izuardi advice of it by express, the 17th inst. and requested he might communicate it to you all, which I trust he lost no time in doing. I have written to Muley Soliman, remonstrating on this very extraordinary proceeding, just at a time when I have received strong assurances from him of his readiness to renew the treaties made by the United States with his father, and entreating that orders may be given to the Captains of all his cruisers to respect the American flag, until the arrival of the Ambassador, actually expected. If the weather permits I may have an answer to that express, by the first boat from Tetuan, after this day week. Until it arrives, I hope no American vessel will sail from your bay, for by the first easterly wind, I have reason to apprehend not only the small cruisers will be out from Tangiers, but some of the larger from Larache and Salle, and as I am very certain we shall soon see an Ambassador from the United States, for the purpose of renewing the peace with Muley Soliman, it would be a pity his cruisers should get hold of any vessels, the release of which would undoubtedly greatly enhance the conditions of peace.
(Signed) JAMES SIMPSON."
I M P O R T A N T.
[From a London Paper, of Feb. 15.]
The following very important letter has been sent to Mr. Johnson, the American Consul, by Mr. Pinkney, the American Minister:
"Great Cumberland-Place, January 30, 1793."
"My dear Sir,
"Mr. Munroe, our Minister Plenipotentiary in France, informs me in a letter dated Paris, Jan. 7, 1795, that the Convention have agreed to carry into full effect, the Treaty of Commerce between the two Republics.—As this is I presume, the most authentic information, which has been received of this determination, I have thought it proper to communicate it to you officially, for the information of our commercial friends."
I am, with respect, dear Sir, Your most obedient, And most humble servant, THOMAS PINCKNEY."
Joshua Johnson, Esq. &c. &c.
The French Convention have directed a cessation in the manufactures of warlike apparatus; from which it would appear they were looking forward to the time when they could with safety turn "their swords into pruning hooks."
THE TREATY—We still learn, is highly favourable to the commercial interests of the United States; and that there does not exist a doubt of its receiving the cordial concurrence of the Senate of the United States, in June next.
The first mark of distinction which will be conferred on that eminent statesman and patriot, Mr. Jay, it is highly probable, will be by the Sovereign People, in electing him to the Chief-Magistracy of the State of New-York. In the Albany Gazette, of the 3d inst. are accounts of Forty Meetings in his favour, seven of which were county meetings.
In the French newspapers, Mr. Jay, and his measures, are spoken of in the highest terms of respect.
A letter from Shelburne, (Nova Scotia) observes, "The Treaty between England and America, has put the final signature to the death warrant of this place."
Last week, above Sixty Thousand pounds in specie, arrived at Salem, from France.
From a LONDON PAPER of February 1.
The American ship Pallas, arrived at Ramsgate was boarded on the 23d of January, at ten in the morning by a French frigate, in lat. 50, long. 15 3/4, part of 15 sail of the line, and 21 frigates, out 30 days from Brest—they had taken 23 sail of merchantmen, and a 44 gun ship—they were then standing to the northward, in expectation of falling in with a fleet of Spanish ships.
The King of Sardinia having borrowed money of the Dutch upon his jewels, and they being deposited in the bank at Amsterdam, for security, the French have taken possession of the deposit, to an immense value.
The French National Convention themselves,
it appears by Paris papers, hold in their own hands not only the institution and organization of the national schools, but appoint the professors of those established in Paris. This talk is worthy of the representatives of a great people and shews that they give to education, that great basis of republicanism, its true value.
From PORTLAND, April 13,
Capt. S. CLOUGH, in the ship Success, arrived at Wilscasset the 6th, in forty-six days from Havre. He brings a confirmation of the taking Amsterdam, &c. and adds, that the French have gained a complete victory over the Spaniards, in which they killed and took 10,000, and to the value of six millions sterling in images of Gods, Virgins, &c. from their churches and other places.
NEWBURY-PORT, April 14.
Yesterday arrived here the brig Edmund, Captain Rolf, in 19 days from Port Paix. By Capt. Rolf we learn that a sloop of war arrived at the Cape about the 20th March, which informed that a fleet of 10 sail of the line, and a number of transports, with 10,000 troops were ready to sail for the West-Indies, and might be expected immediately.—The French had also made a descent upon Port-au-Prince with 20,000 men. Capt. R. says he would advise no Americans to Port-Paix, as they will be obliged to sell their cargoes, at reduced prices, for produce, for which they must wait a long time. Provisions plenty and cheap. On his passage spoke a New-Providence Privateer, who treated him with politeness and said that he took no Americans unless suspected of having French property on board. He had then a ship in tow, from Aux-Cayes, belonging to Providence, which he was carrying in for trial, but the Bermudians (said he) take all without exception.

THEOPHILUS SANBORN, Collector. New-Chester, March 30, 1795.
State of New-Hampshire.
P UBLIC notice is hereby given, that the inhabitants of the town of Alexandria, petitioned the General-Court of said State, at their session at Concord on the third Tuesday of December, 1794, setting forth, that they labour under many inconveniences by reason of the disa- greeable form in which said town lies; also by reason of a large mountain that crosses about midway of the length thereof, which renders it almost impossible for the inhabitants of the south and those of the north part to assemble on any occasion whatever, without travelling a great length of way to get by said mountain; and praying that a division of said town may be made at or near the middle thereof.
Upon which petition it is ordered that the petitioners be heard thereon before the General-Court on the second Thursday of the next session; and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing; also cause that a like copy be posted up in some public place in the town of Alexandria, for the same term of time, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer of said petition may not be granted.
