Treasury of the United States,
August 24th, 1795. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be creditors of the United States, for any sums of the funded debt, or stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum.
1st, That pursuant to an act of Congress, passed on the third day of March, 1795, intitled, "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," there will be reimbursed and redeemed, on the first day of January ensuing, the rate or proportion of two per centum of the principal of the debt or stock, expressed in the certificates issued to the said creditors respectively.
2d, The said reimbursements will be made at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the said stock may stand credited at the close of the present year.
3d, The said reimbursements will be made to the said creditors in person, or to their attorneys duly constituted; but the powers of attorney which may be produced must contain an authority to receive the said reimbursement of principal, otherwise no more than the usual dividend of interest will be paid; and although the two per centum of principal to be redeemed, should not be demanded, yet the interest thereon will cease from the said first day of January next.
4th, To prevent the great trouble and expence which would attend a renewal of the certificates, in consequence of the said reimbursement of principal, it has been determined that no renewal shall be made: And further, that the certificates which may be issued during the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, in consequence of any transfers of the said six per cent. stock, shall notwithstanding the reimbursement of two per centum, as aforementioned, be expressed for the respective sums of the original capital stock. All persons who may negotiate the funded six per cent. stock of the United States, bearing a present interest, are therefore cautioned to observe, that during the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, the value or true amount of principal unredeemed of said debt or stock, will be ninety-eight per centum of the sums expressed in the certificates. Given under my hand at Philadelphia, the day and year before mentioned, pursuant to directions of the Secretary of the Treasury.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
OCTOBER 1.
THE National Convention, after having heard the report of their Committee of Public Welfare decrees as follows:
Art. 1. The decrees of the National Convention of the 2d and 4th of March, and of the 8th of May, 1793, which annexed the countries of Liege, Stavelot, Logue, and Malmidy, to the French territory shall be executed accordingly.
II. The decrees of the National Convention of 1, 2, 6, 8, 9, 11, 19, and 23, of March, annexing to the French territory Hainault, Tournais, the country of Namur, and the majority of the Communes of Flanders and Brabant, shall be in like manner executed.
III. The National Convention accepts the wishes expressed in 1793 by the Communes of Flanders, of Brabant, and that part of Austrian Gueldres not comprised in the said decrees for their union with the French territory.
IV. All the other countries on this side the Rhine which were, before the present war, under the dominion of Austria and those which have been referred to the French Republic by the Treaty concluded at the Hague, the 27th of last Floreal, between their plenipotentiaries, and those of the Republic of the United Provinces, to which none of the dispositions of the present decree attach, shall be also united to the French territory.
V. The inhabitants of the countries of Liege, Stavelot, Logue, Malmidy, and those of the Communes of Belgium, comprised in Articles 2 and 3, of this decree, shall enjoy from the present moment, all the rights of French citizens, provided they possess in other respects the qualifications required by the constitution.
VI. With respect to the Communes comprised in article 4, the inhabitants shall enjoy, until it shall be otherwise provided, all the rights guaranteed by the constitution, to strangers who reside in France, or possess property there.
VII. The countries, mentioned in the first four articles of the present decree, shall be divided into nine departments, viz. the Dyle (Brussels chief place,) the Scheldt, (Ghent chief place,) Gemappes, (Mons chief place) Des Forets (Luxembourg chief place) the Sambre and Meuse (Namur chief place) De Lourthe (Liege chief place) La Meuse Inferieure (Maestricht chief place) Des Dieux Nettes (Antwerp chief place) La Lys (Bruges chief place.)
VIII. The Representatives, of the People sent to Belgium are charged with fixing the different boundaries of the departments, and to divide them into Cantons like other parts of the Republic.
IX. They shall nominate provisionally the functionaries who shall compose the administrations of the departments, those of the Cantons, and the tribunals of the countries of Lambourg Luxembourg, Maestricht, Venloo and their dependencies, with Dutch Flanders.
X. The Legislative Body shall determine the number of Representatives of the People, each of the departments formed according to article 7, shall nominate, conformably to the Constitution, at the epoch of its renewal, which shall take place the 5th year of the Republic.
XI. The Representatives of the People sent to Belgium, shall take care that the extraordinary contribution levied on these countries, and forming their contingent of the expences of the war of liberty, be levied and paid.
XII. The Custom houses now existing, whether between France, and the countries, mentioned in the first four articles of the present decree, or between the different parts of the same countries, shall be suppressed. Those which are established between the same countries, the United Provinces, and the countries not annexed between the Meuse and the Rhine, shall remain as before.
[A lengthy debate here ensued.]
After having closed the debate, the Convention ordered all the speeches of the members to be printed; and afterwards passed the decree of the Union, as proposed amidst the loudest applause.
OCT. 4, TWO IN THE MORNING.
Colombel appeared again in the Tribune. "The Electoral body did not wait for the execution of your decree, to separate. They preferred retreat to the danger of resisting the National authority; your Committees will not be less firm in their duty. They will employ all the means necessary to the execution of the laws. The factious without doubt have not renounced the project of assembling, not to deliberate upon the happiness of the people but to restore them to the chains of the royal tyranny: they will be closely pursued. Your Committees think that it is unnecessary for you to prolong your sitting; they therefore propose to you to adjourn to nine in the morning." Decreed.
A letter from the Representatives of the People at Toulon announced, that the Primary Assemblies of that Commune had proceeded in the utmost tranquility and had unanimously accepted of the Constitution.
The Primary assemblies of the commune of Limoges announced, that they had declared themselves in permanence until the sense of the people was known with respect to the Constitution, and the decrees of the 5th and 13th Fructidor—declared at the same time their attachment to the National Representation, and their readiness to defend it, if ever it should be attacked.
The Convention had summoned for their guard the men who had been disarmed as being accomplices of the days of Germanial and Priarial. Arms had been distributed to them, and they had been divided into battalions, and placed on the terrace opposite the palace of the Thuilleries. This morning cartridges had been distributed to them. A deputation from them presented the following Address to the Convention.
The Patriots of 1789 to the Convention. "We come to congratulate you on having once more saved Liberty by convoking around you the Patriots of 1789."
Coren Fustier interrupted the Orator, and asked why a collective petition was heard to day when a few days ago a collective petition from the Primary Assemblies had been refused?—Violent murmurs.
The President said, that the petitioners were admitted as individuals, and that he had seen them sign the petition.
The Orator in continuation—"We will show ourselves worthy of your confidence. Far from us be the idea of revenge; we will not seek to punish our enemies, but those of the Republic. Long live the Convention, Liberty, and the Republic! Plaudits."
The President congratulated the petitioners. Dubois Crance. "I move that the address of these true patriots be inserted in the bulletin. This shall be our first reply to the factions of the Section Lepelletier, who have proclaimed by beat of drum that you have to day rearmed the Brigands, to pillage property. The other reply shall be from the mouth of the musket." Applause.
Garraud. "I support the insertion, Let us silence the disaffected, who say that you have surrendered yourselves with terrorists to massacre every person, men, women, and children.—The insertion and printing were decreed."
The law of the 17th September, relative to suspected persons; the law of 5th Ventose, respecting public functionaries dismissed since the 9th Thermidor; the law of the 21st Germinal against disarmed persons, were repealed, and the consequent arrest and applications of the Deputies on mission were annulled.
LONDON, Sept. 15.
Extract of a letter from Lieut. Pearce of the Marines, to his grace the Duke of Portland, dated Tempie, New Galicia, 200 leagues to the N.W. of the city of Mexico, April 25, 1795.
"I have the honour of acquainting your grace that, in obedience to your instructions I proceeded from Ronterry to Nootka, in company with Brigadier General ALVA, the officer appointed by the Court of Spain, for finally terminating the negotiations relative to that port; where, having satisfied myself respecting the state of the country at the time of the arrival of the Spaniards, preparations were immediately made for dismantling the fort, which the Spaniards had erected on the island that guarded the mouth of the harbour, and embarking the ordnance. By the morning of the 24th all the artillery were embarked, part on board of his Catholic Majesty's sloop of war Active, and part on board the Sans Carlos guardship,—Brigadier General ALVA and myself then met; agreeably to our respective instructions, on the place where we signed and exchanged the declaration and counter declaration for restoring those lands to his Majesty, as agreed upon by the two courts. After which ceremony I ordered the British flag to be hoisted in token of possession, and the General gave directions for the troops to embark."
A Mr. GODFREY GRASMAN, a German, has sent an Essay to the British Parliament, upon the subject of preserving timber from worms, for which he claims the reward of 4000l. offered in 1781. The Academy of Peterburgh have already voted him a prize.
NANTUCKET, Nov. 23.
A sloop from Carolina, is on shore on the north side of the Isle; Dunham master—no lives lost; most part of the cargo will be saved, consisting of naval stores.—The vessel may be got off.
BOSTON, DECEMBER 5.
The French at Coblenz lately played off towards the Austrians a piece of waggery similar to that practised by our troops on the British, during the late war. They filled several barges with men of straw, and set them afloat. As they approached the garrison of Ehrenbreiten, the Austrians began a terrible fire of artillery upon the barges; and as this did not check them, the Austrians drew up in battle array to oppose their landing. Every one remembers the battle of the kegs on the Delaware.
From WEST-INDIES.
By an arrival at Norfolk, in 20 days from St. Vincents, we learn, that on the 24th of September, the French and English on the island had a smart engagement, in which the latter were defeated with the loss of about 200 men killed and wounded, and 20 mules loaded with provisions; that on the 30th, 15 sail of transports, (part of the fleet which arrived at Martinique) with 1500 men on board, had come to St. Vincents, under convoy of the Experiment and Woolwich men of war; and that on the 2d of October, they attacked the French forts, but were repulsed with a considerable loss of men, and a number of officers.
MR. O'BRIAN.
Capt. CHIPMAN, from Lisbon, in 56 days, saw there Capt. O'BRIAN, who was lately
liberated at Algiers. He was very private in his business, and would not communicate any circumstances of the reputed peace between America and the Dey. It was, however, notorious, that he was waiting at Lisbon for Mr. HUMPHREYS, from Paris, in company with whom, he was to return to Algiers, on business.
DECEMBER 9.
The British King, in his speech to his Parliament, intimates, that the Austrians had gained a victory over the French; but does not mention the extent or the consequences of it. One of the London papers mentions, that a division of the French army had been repulsed, and had retreated to the bank of the Rhine.
England had not declared war against Spain and but little was said in the papers on the subject.
The Salem mail, advertised in the last CENSUS, as stolen has been found. It was accidentally lost.
Accounts from Jamaica, mention, that the Maroon insurrection is not yet quelled. Skirmishes between the troops and insurgents daily take place; and much blood has been spilt in the depredatory war carried on against them.—The Maroons were invincible in 1763—We know not what they can now effect.
December 10.
On Tuesday last Capt. Holland arrived in this port from London, in a passage of 35 days; the ship is owned by Mr. Stephen Higginson, which was carried into England for trial with a cargo of iron, duck, &c. from Russia. The ship is returned to the owner, but the cargo (which is the yolk of the egg) remains in possession of our amicably disposed allies the British. By this vessel the first information reported was, the capture of the principle part of the mediterranean fleet by the French, which is considered nearly equal in value to the East India fleet.
"A large part of this fleet is captured by the French, part of which is very valuable" says the centinel, but the whole of which is known to be very valuable, and will occasion considerable embarrassments on the exchange of London. We should be happy to give further particulars by Mr. Higginson's vessel, but the Captain has brought no papers and but 19 letters; who the letters are to, we have not yet discovered.
It is said there was little probability of peace at present. The successes of the French it is probable, has reduced the British Minister to their ultimatum, they are doubtless sensible that the terms of France for peace would endanger their heads, they are therefore obliged like Sampson to pull down the Edifice and perish themselves in the ruins. Pitt knows that if he should now halt, his destruction is inevitable; like a desperate gambler, he is now reduced to stake the nation on a hazardous throw.
As we are not within the focus of those who own the vessel, we cannot relieve the public from their anxiety, but we have every reason to suppose that the accounts from England are against that haughty monarchy and in favour of our allies the French; we therefore cheerfully wait to hear further before we give any particulars.
One thing however is a fact, that tranquility universally prevails in France, excepting among the Royal party, who had war been the cause of their internal troubles, and that the accounts of the disturbances so readily published in the British papers in America, have been only the effusions of the English Gazettes, and tending to deceive the public in the same manner as the writers on the disturbances in Boston meant to deceive the citizens through the Commonwealth.
We are unhappy to hear that in the storm of last Tuesday, a vessel from Halifax, was cast away upon Lynn-Beach, and all on board, except one which consisted of twelve persons perished.
At the Election on Monday last, for a Town Treasurer, in the room of Mr. Joseph Russell, deceased; Mr. SAMUEL CLAP was chosen by a very large majority.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Capt. Holland, from London, informs that on the night of the 30th October, the ship Jay, Capt. O'Brien of New-York, in a hard gale of wind parted one cable, and drifted athwart an English ship, the people of which cut the other cable—The ship sustained considerable damage; had her quarter gallery and part of her quarter carried away, and went into Ramsgate, to refit.
Capt. Holland, failed from the Downs, Nov. 2d, in company with a large fleet;—among whom were the Margaret, John Mackey; Zephyr, George Lane; Neutrality, Farris, for Boston; the Paragon, Hallet, for Georgia, and a great number of other Americans for all parts of the continent.
The Galen, Capt. Mackay, failed fourteen days before; and there was reason to suppose that she was in the channel the 2d of November.
Friday, Dec. 4, Capt. H. spoke the schooner John Jay, from Jamaica, 59 days out—her main mast sprung, in want of provisions; it blowing hard could not get his boat out; Capt. H. offered him a supply.—Two hours after saw the land 6 leagues to the eastward of Portland.
** The Managers of
Harvard College Lottery, inform the Public, That the List of Prizes to be drawn in the 4th Class of said Lottery, will be published immediately after drawing, and the Prizes paid on demand.
PORTLAND, December 10.
From FRANCE. Captain Andrew Scott, in the ship Cumber-
land, arrived here on the 8th inst. from Brest, which he left the 3d of October. Capt. Scott brought no papers. He assures us, however, that the people are generally satisfied with the new Constitution, except in Brittany; where they still continue in a state of rebellion. Capt. S. travelled with the mail to Paris. Through some parts of Brittany an escort of 800 men was necessary; and even then they were often fired on, and a number of his companions were killed. In this part of the country the houses are destroyed, the fields laid waste, and the instruments of husbandry have given place to those of blood. In every other part the scene is reversed—The people are happy—the fields are highly cultivated; and to use our informants own words, "one would imagine himself, when there, to be in the granary of the world." Provisions of all kinds were cheap, except flour, which was 16 dollars a barrel. Beef of an excellent quality was selling at 10 dollars.
THE STORM
On Tuesday last, was the most severe of any which has been experienced during the last twenty five years. It continued about 15 hours. The damage done to the wharves and shipping in this town is very great; Some estimate it at 15,000 dollars.—Two Piers of the Bridge erecting at Back Cove were carried away, and others considerably damaged.
Capt. James Parsons, of the sloop Greyhound, belonging to Boston, arrived in this port last Wednesday morning. Capt. Parsons left Martha's Vineyard on the 21st ult. in company with 6 sail, but meeting with a severe gale, was driven off the coast. After sustaining considerable injury in his sails, &c. and escaping the most imminent danger, he providentially was saved. After the gale was over, Capt. Parsons spoke with a schooner belonging to Salem, from Baltimore, which also had escaped the vengeance of the storm, tho' she has sprung her bowsprit; but he is under apprehension for the safety of the remaining five vessels which failed with him.
Capt. Peterson, of the ship Harmony, on the 3d October, picked up the crew of the brig William, Capt. Lloyd, of Pool, England, bound from thence to Newfoundland—the foundered in a gale a few days previous, in lat. 49, long. 31.

"Aye madder than the maddest of March hares." MR. MELCHER, THE present tranquil placid state of mind of a Republican is a most pleasing circumstance in our dispute. When one can get an opponent to be good natured, there may be some hopes, even if it is of no consequence to the public, that we may shake hands at parting. I feel something of that disposition for a Republican. In his last publication, he certainly discovered none of that malignancy, which was apparent in some of his preceding ones. In fact, although before he had almost built his guillotine, and pointed to passengers to shew them, with what a face of pleasure he should see it in operation. He has now thrown aside his tools to vent his rage against Bradshaw, and is determined to try a Gazette column of mere unrefined scolding. A madman, with the means of offence which rage only supplies, is a safe opponent, compared with that malignant, half mad guillotining Citizen or Republican I have formerly encountered. I congratulate him upon the change. Happy would he indeed be, if pure rage and fury could expel those worse passions. After all I suspect, his last effusion was not the dictate of nature. He had been heating his imagination with the tragic scenes of poetry, and with that great painter of fury Milton; until fancying himself treading on the "burning marle," he has given expressions to the feelings natural on the occasion. It is unfortunate all this study could not supply him with decent words to satiate his rage. "Infuriate passion" sounds well: and it shews at the same time he had profited by his reading. But the vulgar scolding of "poltron" and "dastardly fellow" betray such a "floundering" in abuse, as my good "friend" ought not to have been guilty of. In real actual life those terms might be considered as an intimation of a wish to decide the dispute in some other way. Between a Republican and Bradshaw, two fictitious persons; it may only prove that a Republican is too much enraged to soar above true fans culotte abuse. It would be an odd termination of our dispute, and worthy to be celebrated in poetics, for it seems we are both familiar with poetic flights of other people, if our quarrel about town meetings, addresses, treaty, &c. should end in a real personal tilting. The pacific Bradshaw means still to conceal himself under that ideal name.
A Republican's sentiments about Mr. Randolph are the most entertaining. "I a'n't half so mad, says he, my friend Bradshaw, about what you say respecting me, as I am about that good man Mr. Randolph." 'Tis true I may propagate the most defamatory stories about my fellow citizens, and if called upon for evidence, it is enough for me to say "I believe them." But Mr. Randolph shall be consulted before an unruly tongue shall wag against him." How happens it, that A Republican is so anxiously concerned about Mr. Randolph. Had he not been in a hurry Marat and Robespierre might have claimed from him some little attention to their reputation.
Bradshaw still asserts that no address was ever offered for signing, until after the ratification by the President, A Republican cannot shew the contrary.
Since A Republican has complimented my critical abilities, I have commonly favoured him with some critical remarks. He ought not to have said my last essay "proved forth a volley of scurrility unequalled in modern times." Because in modern times there is as much scurrility as there ever was—witness A Republican. He should not have adopted scripture expressions, when he was so very mad. Milton or some tragic writer would have done much better. "Items contained in this narration" found badly with scripture and poetry. "Memorable story of Uncle Toby and the fly" will hardly do in a mere reference to a stroke of wit.—But I believe I have wrote enough for the present.
BRADSHAW.
*These are not the very identical words of A Republican.
CONCORD, December 5.
GENERAL COURT.
Wednesday last the Hon. General Court of this State convened in Concord, agreeably to their adjournment in June last. His Excellency the Governor arrived in the evening, from his seat at EXETER, escorted by a number of gentlemen, who went as far as Pembroke to meet him. As there was not a quorum to transact business on Wednesday, the members present adjourned until Thursday—when both Branches of the Legislature having assembled in the Representative's Chamber, his Excellency the Governor entered and addressed them in the following patriotic
SPEECH.
Fellow Citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives.
It affords me much pleasure to meet you at this time, to which the General Court was adjourned agreeably to your request.
This being the season of the year, when it is thought most convenient for the Legislature to assemble, for the purpose of discharging the important duties assigned them—your attention will naturally be called to the circumstances of our affairs as a State, and as we are united with the other States by the Federal Compact.
When we contemplate the gracious indulgence of the Supreme Governor of the Universe, in conducting the American people through their arduous conflict for freedom; the happy privileges we enjoy in forming systems of Government, enacting laws, and making regulations for promoting the general good of the
community; When we view the general prosperity of our country, the high degree of honor the United States have attained under the administration of our Federal Government, the opportunity that all classes of citizens have of enjoying happiness in a degree scarcely known in other nations—With hearts filled with gratitude we should endeavour to perpetuate these happy privileges.
We are all under solemn engagements to support the Constitution of this State, and the Constitution of the United States: This we may esteem not only as our duty, but as a high privilege, that we have so good systems to support. If any defects are discovered in them, the method of obtaining remedy is pointed out. Notwithstanding these circumstances, there is reason to apprehend that some persons, in various parts of the United States, are inimical to the system of our General Government, and to the administration. Sundry transactions heretofore have had such an appearance. Of late, a negotiation, a proposed agreement with a foreign nation, though incomplete, has, by a breach of official confidence, been ushered to the public. Supposed defects in the instrument, have been seized on with avidity.—The Executive of the United States, and the negotiator on the part of America, have been highly censured in indecent publications, and otherwise, previous to the public's having knowledge of the reasons which might lead to such a negotiation.—But I will not add to this disagreeable catalogue—too much is already known.
Will Americans entertain an idea, (without proof) that the President of the United States, after having rendered them such important, disinterested services, in War & in Peace, has now become their enemy? Shall the (acknowledged able) Negotiator be so ill treated? Shall Senators be burnt in effigy, for an opinion officially given—and all this when the reasons which induced their conduct are unknown? Shall the Liberty of the Press, our pride and our boast, be converted to Licentiousness ?—Surely Virtue, and Love of our Country, should forbid such things.
Our system of National Government originated from the only true source of all civil government, the great body of the People.—It must be the highest wisdom to support this system—to support those who are appointed to administer it, so long as we are destitute of any evidence of mal practice.—Let us not be ungrateful to those who have done so much for our common country—Let us not be ungrateful to the Supreme Governor of nations, who has favoured us with opportunities and advantages unknown to many others; but to beseech him to turn the hearts of all to the ways of truth, peace, and happiness.
For my own part, I freely declare, that my confidence in the President, the Negotiator, and the Senators, (who it is said advised to the ratification of the treaty) is not in the least degree impaired; and I find myself more zealously engaged to support the Government and Administration than heretofore, believing, as I do, that attempts are making to destroy it.
Should any think I have unnecessarily introduced this subject, I can only say, it is with me a fixed sentiment, that our constituents have a right to expect from us an explicit avowal of principles, and our opinion respecting the situation of their public affairs at all times, when particular circumstances make it necessary—and that such is the present crisis.
A particular state of the Treasury will be laid before you, and you will judge whether any further orders are necessary respecting the discharge of the debts yet remaining due from the State—and whether it will be necessary and proper to assess a tax the ensuing year.
Our Constitution provides for a due and prompt administration of justice—This the people have a right to expect.—It is also necessary that every servant of the public should have an equitable reward for his service.—This is the most suitable method of obtaining and keeping faithful men in office.—If you should be of opinion that any compensation heretofore established (in consequence of the high prices of the necessaries of life, and from any other causes) become inadequate, you will determine what is right to be done.
The law by which the Court of Sessions were abolished, having transferred the business of those Courts to the Judges of the respective county courts—Is it not necessary that compensation should be made the Judges for these new duties?
The present tranquility and happiness as it respects the internal concerns of this State, and your intimate knowledge of the various circumstances of our Laws and Administration, make it unnecessary for me to be more particular.—The Constitution has pointed out to us various general and particular duties; and I shall esteem it a pleasure to unite with you in making all such laws and orders, as will tend further to promote the happiness of the community.
J. T. GILMAN.
State of New-Hampshire, Dec. 3, 1795.
Answer of the Legislature of New-Hampshire to the Governor's Speech.
SIR, WITH the highest satisfaction, we meet your Excellency at this usual season for transacting the business of the State, and discharging the duties assigned us; and with pleasure review the situation of our affairs as a State, and as united with the other States by the Federal Compact.
Grateful to that Being, who conducted us through our arduous conflict, to freedom, and enabled us to establish our State and Federal Constitutions upon the only true foundation of all civil government, the will of the people—
we should deem it ingratitude to Him, and treachery to our constituents, did we not explicitly express our determination to support them; particularly, when the government of the United States has been so administered, as to claim respect from foreign powers, ensure us peace, and a degree of prosperity and happiness scarcely known to other nations.
We cannot forbear recalling to view, the very different situation of our country, when your Excellency was first elected to the chair of government, and its present circumstances and prospects. At that time, there was a high probability of our being involved in all the distresses of the present destructive and desolating war in Europe:—Now, by the wisdom of the Supreme Executive of the United States, peace on honorable grounds—happiness—prosperity—is the envied portion of this highly favoured country.
As defects are discovered in the general constitution, that constitution has happily pointed out the means of amendment. While it remains unaltered, its purity, as a republican representative government, can only be preserved by the constituted authorities exercising their trust, without attempts from any particular portion of the people to influence their decisions.—The attempts recently made, meet our highest disapprobation. Should any enemies to the general flow of prosperity, attempt the subversion of the system of our general government, or opposition to its constitutional acts, as from various circumstances there may be reason to apprehend—it shall be our part to omit no exertions to defeat their purposes.
The negotiation, or treaty with a foreign nation, which before it was completed by the parties, was, by a breach of official confidence, ushered to the public, has been made the instrument to undermine the constitution, and lessen the confidence of the people in the administrators of government. The exercise of a power vested by the constitution, and which, when thus exercised, required obedience from the people, and from every department of government, has unhappily been made the vehicle of faction, to excite disaffection in the citizens—to the Senate of the United States who advised, and the President who completed the ratification of this compact or treaty.
While, with your Excellency, we express our confidence in the virtue and ability of the minister, who negotiated this treaty—the Senate of the United States, who advised to its ratification—and in the President, the disinterested patriot, friend and father of his country, who complied with this advice—we equally feel abhorrence for those disturbers of the public peace, who have endeavoured to render abortive, measures so well calculated to advance the happiness of our country. And we also join with your Excellency in sentiment, that in this crisis, it is our duty to express this our opinion—which, we are happy to find, is also the almost universal opinion of the citizens of this State.
The state of the treasury, when laid before us, will enable us to judge of the necessity of any farther dispositions respecting the debt of the State, and the expediency of assessing a tax for the ensuing year: The situation of the treasury, we hope, will render a tax unnecessary.
The due and prompt administration of justice, shall always claim our attention. If any deficiency of compensation to judges, or any other officers of the public, now exists from any cause, we shall esteem it our duty to make equitable and ample provision for them.
The present situation of this State, as it respects its internal concerns, does not require much Legislative attention.—But we shall most cordially join in fill farther advancing, by every means in our power, the happiness of the community.
State of New-Hampshire, Dec. 5, 1795.
FOR THE GAZETTE.
FRIEND MELCHER, DIVERS of your customers, being sufficiently edified with the good sense, grammatical niceties, charitable expressions, modest observations and friendly conclusions of your unconquered champions Messrs. Bradshaw and A Republican, would most humbly propose that they condescend to remember the proverb of the wise man "That the full stomach loathes the honey comb"—for divers of your customers have heartily sucked their fill of their elaborate performances, and with such mighty genius might display their abilities in attempting a new subject.

BOSTON, Dec. 14.
CONFIRMATION
Of the important Capture of the Mediterranean Fleet.
On Tuesday arrived the brig Hope, Capt. Hooper, from Lisbon via Marblehead, in 44 days. Captain H. informs, that a French squadron, consisting of 4 sail of the line, 4 frigates, and one brig, had captured FORTY-NINE sail of the British Mediterranean fleet of merchantmen; and of their convoy, which consisted of a sail of the line, 2 frigates and 2 cutters; all but 1 frigate and the 2 cutters; all which prizes had arrived at Cadiz with the French squadron; which was refitting for another cruise—Part of this squadron was from Rochefort, and had joined the other previous to the above capture. This information was not questioned at Lisbon; where Capt. Hooper saw some of the crews of the captured vessels, who had escaped in their boats. Capt. H. was
also informed by the American Consul at Lisbon, that some of the ships were immensely valuable; supposed worth from 2 to 300,000.
About 40 sail of British merchantmen were lying at Lisbon, ready to sail for England, when Capt. H. left port; but on hearing the above news would not put to sea; being fearful of falling into the hands of the French.
IMPORTANT.
Extract of a letter from Robert Montgomery, Esq. American Consul, at Alicante, Sept. 26, 1795, to a merchant of Marblehead.
"With the greatest satisfaction, I have the honor to advise you, that on the 5th inst. a Treaty of Peace was happily concluded between the United States, and the Regency of Algiers.—Tunis being a tributary state, the Dey has given his assurance that they will come into his measures. Tripoli is only wanting; but I have no doubt that they will readily accept of our first overtures; and our flag become as free in the mediterranean as in the other parts of the globe."
The British, who heretofore enjoyed this very advantageous commerce, are embarrassed on one side by the French cruisers; and on the other by the Dey of Algiers; who on 6th current FORMALLY DECLARED WAR AGAINST THEM! (Centinel.)
PORTSMOUTH, Dec. 15.
On Tuesday last arrived here, the brig Eliza, Robert Tollandse, master, belonging to Newburyport, after parting one of his cables off Newbury-bar, in the violent gale on that day, put away for this port, where he arrived safe, without receiving any material damage, except the loss of both anchors and one cable—in a passage of 70 days from Figuera, in Portugal; Sailed from thence, in company with the brig Polly, of New-Hampshire, Edward Watts, master, bound directly to Portsmouth. The brig Union, of Kennebunk, Capt. Lassel, failed the 27th Sept. for Kennebunk; the brig Leonard, of Newburyport, William Hacker, master, failed the same time, for Baltimore. Sept. 26, failed from Portugal, the Schooner Polly of Marblehead, Wm. Maine, Master, for Boston. Oct. 9, in lat. 40, long. 20, fell in with the Union of Kennebunk, Capt. Lassel, and kept company with him till Oct. 12. Nov. 21, lat. 37, long. 68, 30, spoke the brig Harmony of New-York, Thomas Leonard, master, out 4 days—bound to Madeira, all well, Dec. 2. Twenty leagues W. S. W. of Cape Sable, spoke the ship Eagle of Boston, John D. Bourne, master, from Hamburg, 75 days out in want of provisions, supplied him with Beef, Bread, Candles, and Water, the Mate very sick, confined to his cabin.
Capt. Tollandse, was at Havre-de-Grace, Sept. 2d where he left the brig Thomas, Capt. John Seaward, of this port.
On Tuesday last as the brig Friendship, Capt. Chamberlain, was coming into this harbour, in the storm on that day the vessel struck on a rift of rocks that runs from Follet's-point, where her bottom was stove in; her masts unseam—and she so damaged, that it is supposed, she is nearly past repairing. It is a fortunate circumstance, that the vessel had only a set of ballast in. The Capt. having sold his Cargo in the West-Indies, for cash, which was all saved.
On Tuesday last arrived here, the brig George, Capt. Moore, in 75 days from Liverpool. On the passage home, in a gale of wind, Mr. Joseph Gumnion, belonging to Kittery, was unfortunately knocked overboard and drowned. We sympathize with the afflicted parents of this promising young man, who bid fair to be an ornament and blessing to them. He was an only son in whom their affections greatly centered.
