To the Hon. the Chamber of Commerce of New-York.
The following Account Current, and estimated View of the present Condition of the Commerce of the United States, contrasted with that projected in the Treaty of Mr. Jay, is most respectfully inscribed, by A Philadelphia Merchant.
DR. } View of the Commerce of the United States, as it stands at present, and as fixed by { CR. Mr. JAY's Treaty. ACTUAL STATE. STATE BY TREATY.
1st. American ships from Europe enjoy a protecting duty of 10 per cent. on the amount of duties on goods, wares and merchandizes, into the U. S. in foreign bottoms from Europe, and of 30 to 50 per cent. on teas imported in foreign bottoms from Asia or Europe, paid by foreign bottoms, more than there is paid on such goods imported in our own vessels.—Foreign bottoms pay also 44 cents a ton on every voyage more than is paid by American shipping; all which had been allowed by the Federal Government, to encourage ship-builders, mariners, mechanics, merchants, and farmers.
2d. American ships of any size now go freely to all the British West-Indies, sell their cargoes, and bring returns as it suits them.
3d. American ships may now freely load molasses, sugar, coffee, cocoa or cotton, to any part of the world from the U. States.
4th. American citizens can now go supercargoes to India, settle and reside, and do their business there.
5th. America now enjoys the right of regulating commerce, so as to encourage one nation and discourage another, in proportion to benefits received, or injuries felt respectively.
6th. American ships now freely navigate to the British dominions in India, and from thence proceed with cargoes to any part of the world.
7th. Timber for ship building, tar, or rosin, copper in sheets, sails, hemp, cordage, and generally whatever may serve directly to the equipment of vessels, not contraband by former treaties of the U. States.
8th. American ships carrying provisions, by America claimed as having a free right of passage to the ports of their destination.
9th. American ports open to prizes made on Britain by France and America, possessed of the liberty to grant similar douceurs to other nations, as she sees fit in future compacts with em.
10th. American ships allowed at present freely to enter British ports in Europe, the W. Indies and Asia, but shut out from the sea ports of Nova Scotia and Canada.
11th. American ships thus partially allowed entrance into British ports.
12th. American ships now sail, though not under naval protection, under a guarantee of all the British effects possessed here, which might be made answerable for our floating property, if unjustly seized on by Great Britain in case of a war, so much apprehended by the Chamber.
13th. British debts now recoverable in the federal courts of the United States, but reposing on the solvency of the debtors only.
14th. America sends Mr. Jay to recover redress for spoliations on our commerce actually sustained.
15th. American ships much plagued by British privateers.
16th. American citizens may now expatriate and serve in foreign countries.
17th. America possesses claims to a large amount on account of negroes carried off, and the Western Posts detained, in violation of the treaty of 1783.
The casting up of the sides submitted to the Chamber.
Philadelphia, July 27, 1795.
Errors, out-standings, and omissions excepted. AMERICANUS.
[Philadelphia Gazette.]
By treaty America cedes to Great-Britain the right of laying duties on our ships in Europe, the West-Indies and Asia, to countervail these and engages not to encroach her duties on tonnage on this side, so as to check the exercise of this right; in consequence British ships may be put at the discretion of the British government, on the exact same footing as American ships in the carrying trade of Europe and Asia.
2d. By treaty American ships were to be reduced to 70 tons, in order to be admitted in the British West-Indies.
3d. By treaty American ships were to be totally prohibited this commerce, which was to be carried on under any flag but their's.
4th. By treaty no American citizen can settle or reside in these ports, or go into the interior country without special licence from the local government, who may under colour of this, impose what obstacles they please to the commerce.
5th. All this abandoned by the treaty so far as respects Great-Britain; no duties can be laid on British goods but what must apply to all other nations from whom we import goods—no embargoes on exports to British ports but what must apply to all nations alike.
6th. By treaty American ships are admitted as usual into the British ports of India, but prohibited carrying any return cargoes except to the United States; prohibited also from the coasting trade in the British ports of India, from which they were not, that I knew of before excluded.
7th. All these articles made contraband by this treaty.
8th. This claim now apparently waved such American ships, when taken to be allowed indemnity of freight and demurrage, and a reasonable mercantile profit, the amount whereof not ascertained.
9th. American ports now opened to prizes taken by Britain from any nation except France, but shut to prizes taken from Britain by Spain or any other power not favoured in this way, by treaties already made; of course discouraging to our future negotiations with all powers, France and Britain excepted.
10th. American ships allowed to go into these ports but under new restrictions of size, in the West-Indies, and of latitude of trade in the East-Indies, the ports of Halifax, Quebec, &c. still shut to America.
11th. British ships allowed universal entrance into all our ports.
12th. By treaty, American ships deprived of this guarantee; sequestrations or confiscations being declared impolitic and unjust, when applied to flocks, or banks, or debts, though nothing said about them when applied to ships or cargoes.
13th. By treaty a new court of commissioners opened on this subject, with immense power and guarantee of the United States, who must meet indeed at Philadelphia, but may adjourn where they please. Nothing said of debts due to Americans in England, if by legal impediments prevented from recovery there.
14th. By treaty a court of commissioners opened, who are to sit in London without power of adjournment, as in the case of the Commission for Debts. Americans must, therefore, transport themselves and claims to London, and employ council there, to recover what the Commissioners shall think fit to allow them: admirable compensation indeed!
15th. By treaty the privateersmen are to give £.1500 to £.3000 sterling, security for their good behaviour.
16th. By treaty they are declared pirates if serving against Great-Britain; but no provision made to guard American seamen from being forced to serve in British ships.
17th. These claims all waved by the treaty without reference to the merits of these pretensions.
LATEST Foreign Intelligence.
By the brig Eliza, Capt. Fairfield, arrived at Salem.
FRANCE. PARIS, June 16. Adjutant General Charpentier, has this day presented to the Convention, the 24 standards taken at Luxembourg. The garrison consisted of 11,187 men. The military stores taken are 819 cannon, 16,944 muskets, 1,330,000 wt. powder, and 816,000 wt. of lead and copper.
THE CHOUANS Are not suppressed. They still threaten mischief.
TOULON Is again restored to the Republic. The Jacobins are completely routed; many have been killed, and many more must suffer.
June 17. This day Romme, Duquesnoi, Duroy, Bourbotte, Soubrany, and Goujon, were condemned to suffer death, for their insurgent conduct on the 20th May. Romme, Duquesnoi, and Goujon, immediately on their receiving sentence of death, put an end to their existence. The others were executed immediately after. Thus is the last remains of the faction that long distracted France extinct.
THE SON OF LOUIS XVI. June 18. The son of Louis XVI. was buried on the 10th inst. in the evening, in the church yard of St. Marguerite. He was conveyed to the grave by three commissioners appointed for that purpose, by the committee of general safety. The daughter of the late king is in an infirm state of health, and change of air has been prescribed for her.
It is generally believed at Paris, that she will be permitted to reside in the southern parts of France, and it is even insinuated by some, that she will be suffered to quit the Republic, and join her relations.
We received this morning Paris papers of the 13th inst. The intelligence contained in them is not important. They enable us, however, to contradict the report of the son of Louis Capet having died by poison. Our readers will find, in this day's paper, the declaration of the surgeons who opened his body, and who attribute his death solely to a scrofulous disorder, with which he had been long afflicted.
Letters from Saintes of the 21st Prarial, 9th inst. state that Barrere had arrived in that town for the purpose of being carried before the criminal tribunal of the Lower Charente, by which he is to be tried. He is treated with some respect. His colleagues Billaud and Collet have certainly failed to Guiana. The Captain, we are informed, has received orders to treat them as gally slaves, and to keep them chained.
National Convention, June 6.
Victory over the Spaniards.
Blad, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, read the following letter:
Marbot, General of Division, to the committee of Public Safety:
"Citizens, Representatives, I gave orders for forming a camp, which the enemy had effected between Alosua and Elgolbar, which was executed with the greatest success.
"The camp erected by the enemy four days ago, upon the mountain, situated between Alosua and Elgolbar, was attacked this morning, at 5 o'clock, by the troops of the first division, marching in two columns. Gen. Schilt commanded that of the right, whilst that of the left remained under my command.
"Having arrived with great difficulty at the top of the mountain, we were surrounded by so thick a fog, that we could see nothing four paces before us. The ardour of the troops was not in the least degree diminished by this unfavourable weather; it was necessary for us to grope our way to the enemy's camp, which after much difficulty we discovered, when we attacked them with that vivacity and courage, which have so often terminated in victory; the enemy immediately fled in the greatest disorder, and abandoned all their camp equipage; immense barracks had been erected, which we immediately burnt, and at the same time, carried away every thing which was found in the camp.
"Gen. Raoul, who gave orders for dislodging the enemy, effected it with the greatest success.
"The result of this day has been a loss to the enemy of a camp, upon which they founded the hopes of causing us much uneasiness.
"This victory would have been still more brilliant and satisfactory, had not the fog favored the retreat of the enemy, who fled in the greatest disorder. So thick was the fog, that Gen. Schilt, who had lost his way with a party of his column, went as far as Elgolbar, conceiving he was entering Alosua. He was vigorously attacked by the enemy, but drove them back from position to position; after which he retreated in the greatest order, and without the least interruption.
The troops employed in this expedition conducted themselves with great intrepidity, more especially, if we consider the great fog in which they were enveloped. The chasseurs of the brigade of the mountains displayed all those brilliant qualities, which have so often distinguished them during the last campaign.
(Signed) "MARBOT, Gen. of Div. "MONGEY, Com. in Chief.
The Ambassadors from the Dutch Republic have been presented to the Convention, and received with great honors.
Harbingers of Peace.
DIET OF Ratisbon, June 2.
The sessions of the Diet recommenced to-day They were opened with discussions on the Imperial decree of commission, respecting the overtures for an acceptable peace. In the college of electors, the Electorate of Brandenburg made several propositions relative to the declarations presented in the Diet, and which had already appeared in different publications. The Electorate of Treves has already voted in the Princely College, as well as Magdeburg, Augsburg, Palatinate, Deux-Ponts, Hesse Cassel, and Pomerania. The Directory of the Diet has resolved, that an Extraordinary Congress shall be held next Wednesday, in which the respective Ambassadors are confidentially to discuss the propositions made on the business relative to preparations for a peace.
Mr. Von Hugel, the Imperial Con-Commissary, has, per interem, communicated to the Diet that his Majesty the Emperor is actually engaged in a negotiation with France; and that the Diet of the empire will soon receive further information relative to this important object.
BASLE, May 30.
The negotiations of a peace between the German Empire and France, are said to have for their object the exchange of several places; conformable to which, the Moselle, from its source to the Meuse, as far as the North Sea, is to be the future boundary of France. The Abbe Syeyes is said to be the projector of this plan.
Dreadful Fire at Copenhagen.
COPENHAGEN, June 6.
Yesterday afternoon, a little after 3 o'clock, by some unfortunate accident, which remains unknown to this moment, a fire broke out in the building of the old Holm, where the ship timber and other naval stores for the fleet are kept. The flames, with an incredible rapidity, still farther increased by a very strong wind from the southeast, spread to the great Magazine, and also set fire to the edifices so essential to the state, after the principal things kept in it had, however, been previously saved. While the firemen were occupied here, in extinguishing the flames, the fire also broke out at the same time, in the steeple of the church of St. Nicholas, which lies at the distance of three whole streets from the Holm, and had even escaped in the great fire of 1728; the flames not only destroyed, in a very little time, this beautiful edifice, but spread also through all the adjacent streets, so that at this time, almost the whole of the old Holm, the College of Admiralty, and the buildings belonging to it, the edifices along the Canal, the Old Strand, and all the houses situated in that part of the city, are now entirely in ashes. The number of houses already burnt down, is estimated to amount to several hundreds.
The damage which this conflagration occasioned cannot yet be ascertained, though it is already estimated to amount to several millions of rix dollars.
The conflagration, especially the fall of the lofty pile of the Church of St. Nicholas, exhibited a most terrific and awfully grand spectacle. The city was illuminated all night, as in a fine clear moonlight night.
P. S. The fire continues to spread farther and farther, and the whole Guildhall is now in flames; apprehensions are also entertained for the church of Our Lady, though all possible pains are taken to save it from the danger. All the houses that have no walls to resist fire, are pulled down to prevent the conflagration spreading farther. Both the soldiers and sailors whose number has been considerably increased here by the fitting out of the fleet, have much distinguished themselves.
It cannot yet be stated with any degree of certainty, how the fire first broke out; some say by a copper of tar boiling over; others say it has been done on purpose; but such reports are not to be warranted. The fire has already raged thirty hours.
Second postscript. This moment, as the Mail is going, the progress of the fire has been stopped.
ITALY, May 28.
The English fleet, consisting of 17 ships of the line and 7 frigates, has been seen near Cape Corro.
AMSTERDAM, June 6.
Advices from the Cape of Good Hope, dated Feb. 22, assert that the colony was at that time in the best state of defence, nineteen batteries having been erected, well provided with ovens to heat red hot balls: the garrison consisted of 900 men. Intelligence having been received there that the French had taken Bois-le-Duc, the government then resolved not to suffer any vessels to sail until they had further accounts from Holland.
DUTCH FLEET.
The following are the names of the ships composing this fleet now preparing for sea:
La Liberte, 74 guns, Capt. Van Winter; Les Etai Generaux 74, Capt. Story; La Revolution 64, Capt. J. A. Boisse Tresslong; L'Egalite 64, Capt. Reynstges; La Fraternite 64, Capt. Van Kerchem; Le Dordrecht 64, Capt. Lucas; L'Utrecht 64, Capt. Zeewold; Le Waftanaer 64, Capt. Ybr. Bois de Tresslong; Le Petit Hein 54, Capt. Lombard; Le Protecteur 54, Capt. Reynbende; Le Delet 54, Capt. Verdoon; Le Tromp 54, Capt. Valkenburg; Le Pollux 44, Capt. Wiggers; Le Monnikendam 44, Captain Musquetier; Le Hector 44, Capt. Soetman; Le Brave 36, Capt. Jacobson; L'Alliance 36, Capt. Jager; Le Jason 36, Capt. Von Donkin; L'Argo 36, Capt. A. C. L. Von Docking; besides smaller vessels.

PORTSMOUTH, June 12. Sailed this evening from Spithead, the grand fleet under the command of Lord Bridport consisting of 14 ships of the line, 4 frigates, and two fire ships.
LIVERPOOL June 11. Extract of a letter from Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, dated, April 13, 1795.
"We arrived here after a passage of nine days from Spithead, in company with his Majesty's ships Monarch, Admiral Elphinstone, Arrogant, Sphinx, and Rattlesnake with the Arniston Indian. We are only to stop here 24 hours, and then to proceed against the Cape of Good Hope with all speed; but it is feared that a squadron of nine French line of battle ships will be there before us. However, if we are lucky in taking the Cape, we are to proceed against the Mauritius in the Indian ocean, and all other Dutch and French settlements thereabout. Commodore Blanket, with two sixty fours, have just joined us and we are getting under weigh for the Cape."
DUBLIN, June 9. Three hundred of the royal Irish artillery, are ordered to be ready to embark for the West-Indies the first week of August.
June 12. It is with great concern, we have this day to acquaint our readers, who are immediately or eventually concerned in the West India trade of the present year, that of the one hundred and seventy-six vessels who sailed from Cork the 10th of February last for the West Indies, only the two ships of war, who went as their convoy, and two merchant ships, had on the 10th of April arrived at the rendezvous point in Barbadoes.
As it is impossible that all these missing vessels can have been captured, it is expected we shall soon have a more favourable account.
Letters were yesterday received in town from Mr. D'Olier, formerly of this city, now at Languedoc in the South of France, which state that the harvest in that part of the country which they have already begun to get in, is one of the most productive in the memory of man. The harvest in the southern latitudes of Europe always sets in a month or six weeks sooner than with us, and is usually completed by the latter end of July.
LONDON, June 10. The city speculators on St. Domingo property are said to have lost 150,000. by the boldness of their experiments. The Powder tax has already produced three hundred thousand pounds to Government.
The loss of Luxembourg will probably induce the Emperor to relinquish every idea of attempting the passage of the Rhine, and may perhaps convince him of the propriety of opening an immediate negotiation for peace—the only mode of conduct by which he can regain his influence in the affairs of the Empire, and disappoint the projects of Prussia.
The Toulon fleet, we understand, have put to sea with twenty sail of the line, and as many frigates.
Admiral Hotham has also put to sea to meet the French with fifteen British sail of the line and ten frigates, and four Neapolitan ships of the line.
June 15. We stated, on the 13th, That a report had reached Bremen, just as the Mail was leaving that place of a cessation of hostilities between the Emperor and France. This important intelligence is corroborated by accounts from Vienna, Frankfort and the borders of the Maine, which state, That the contracts are ordered to be stopped; That the March of the troops is countermanded; and that the heavy artillery of the Imperial army is ordered to retrograde to Guusbourg.
JUNE 16. Two objects of the first importance now occupy the attention of the government of France; the one, the organization of the constitution; the other, the restoration of credit and confidence to the finances.
The organization of the constitution has been entrusted to a committee of eleven members, who have for a long time been employed upon the momentous subject, and who are to present a regular, digested, and final report previously to the 28th of this month.
JUNE 17. Twelve ships of the line, and a proportionate number of frigates, fire ships, and bombs, are ordered to be got ready at Portsmouth, for a secret expedition.
June 23. This morning arrived a Mail from Hamburg, with one Italian Bag.
When the Mail left Bremen an account had just been received from Frankfort, stating, That a cessation of arms had been agreed upon between the Emperor and France.
CHARLESTON, July 31. The Hon. John Rutledge, late Chief Justice of this state, failed this day for Baltimore, in the ship Swift Packet, on his way to the seat of government, having accepted the offered office of Chief Justice of the United States.
PHILADELPHIA, August 5. Capt. Gwin, of the brig Nancy 18 days from Havana informs, that a Spanish fleet of merchantmen, consisting of 17 sail, including one 74 and three frigates, had arrived there from Spain, &c.
The Republican ship Les Jemeaux, of 16 guns, Citizen Davis, commander, in a short passage from Port-de-Paix, with dispatches to the French minister is arrived at the Port.
AUGUST 6. Yesterday arrived the Caguas, a French ship of war, of 18 guns, commanded by Capt. S. Davis. She anchored at Market-street wharf, and fired a salute, which was returned by a detachment of artillery.
NEW-YORK, August 10. A petition for Peace was presented to the Convention on the 30th of April, by Cesar Faucher, on behalf of the municipality of Reole, near Bourdeaux. He was answered in terms of the highest approbation by the President (Syeyes); and the honors of the sitting were granted to him.
BOSTON, August 12. From a careful perusal of the Belfast "Northern Star," one of the best papers in Europe, we have formed the opinion, that the Emperor of Germany, notwithstanding his acceptance of the English loan will ere long make peace with France. The States of the Empire, have again been convened on the subject; and Prussia is in earnest in the Peace it has made: These with the surrender of the important city of Luxembourg, must certainly induce him to close a war, which has cost him all his revenues, and 170,000 active subjects. England and Russia, are however, unwearied in their exertions to prevent it; and have entered into mutual alliances to second those exertions. To these it is said, The Emperor has acceded; and is now the ally of Russia. From the South, we hear rumours of a Peace with Spain; but there cannot be reliance placed on them. In France, plenty begins to take place of the late distressing scarcity; the harvests promise abundance. The people are quiet. The Convention are busily employed in organizing a new Constitution; which from what we have read, we anticipate will be as nearly similar to the Constitution of the United States, as the genius of the people, and the extent of the Republic will admit, while the armies are paving the way for an advantageous peace. The Toulon insurrection is no more; but we do not learn, that the French fleet is at sea, in the Mediterranean. Ireland is as tranquil as a nation so much oppressed can be. A Dutch navy was on the point of departure for sea, in June; among the commanders we do not see Capt. Barney, as was reported.
IMPORTANT naval ACTION.
On Wednesday evening arrived at Gloucester, Schooner Martin, Capt. HASKELL, in 40 days from Rochelle, and yesterday she came round to this harbour. From information collected at the former place, and obligingly forwarded to us, and from what we have obtained since her arrival here, we are enabled to give the Public the following INTERESTING INFORMATION.
On the fourth of July, the above Schooner fell in with an English fleet of fourteen sail of the line, seven frigates, three sloops of war, two armed brigs, and several smaller vessels, making in all thirty sail. The Schooner was brought too by the Orion, of 74 guns, on board which, by desire, Capt. HASKELL went with his papers. On finding the Schooner was bound for Boston, the Captain of the Orion, desired him to mention on his arrival, that the English fleet had engaged the French fleet on the 4th June, off Belleisle, and defeated it; That they had captured three French 84 gun ships; and should, had they have had two hours more daylight, have captured the whole fleet; but that the French had after dark got into L'Orient; That they intended to cruise off there some days, to ascertain whether the French were disposed to come out and renew the action after a little resitting or not; and that they had much hopes of having another slap at them. The Captain of the Orion said the force of the two fleets was equal. One of the Lieutenants pointed Capt. HASKELL to where two ports had been broken into one; and told him, that an unlucky shot had killed them seven men, besides dismounting a gun. Capt. HASKELL saw on board, a Mr. IGNATIUS MEDLEY, of Gloucester, who had been impressed in London; and who confirmed most of the particulars stated by the Captain. After a short detention Capt. H. departed.
Capt. HASKELL saw the three prizes which had been taken, they were entirely dismasted and mere wrecks. He saw four English dismasted ships, and evident marks of a severe action were visible in every vessel he passed.
He supposes from what he heard at Rochelle, that the above fleet was bound from Brest, to join a considerable fleet lying at Daix, a junction with which would have made them superior to the English fleet then cruising; and the British, probably from information of the design, had intercepted them as related.
Capt. H. saw the Harmony from Baltimore for France, with Flour; and two other American vessels, supposed from the same port, brought too by the above fleet; but whether detained or not cannot determine.
The above fleet was commanded by Lord BRIDPORT, when it failed from Spithead, June 12, it was composed of exactly the number of ships of the line, stated as above.
OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS.
Capt. HASKELL, as above, on his passage, spoke several Danish vessels, whose Captain's informed, That their Court was apprized of the New Orders of Great Britain for stopping neutral vessels bound to France, and the consequent capture of numberless Danish and Swedish vessels—That they were extremely irritated at it; and had, in conjunction with the Swedes, determined to fit out a fleet, and demand immediate restitution of such prizes, and a recal of the
Orders; and if denied to issue a declaration of war against England.
FROM FRANCE—THE LATEST. By Capt. HASKELL, who arrived yesterday in 43 days from Rochelle, we have the latest French intelligence on the Continent. His original place of destination on sailing was Ostend; but bad winds and a report of a dull market, induced him to put away for America—For this reason no papers are brought for Boston. His verbal information is, That the Chouans still remained in considerable force, (laid to be 60,000,) that their Commandant, however, had been made prisoner by the Republicans, and passed through Rochelle for Paris, with seven inferior officers, and will all undoubtedly receive the reward of their crimes; That except this instance of the Chouans, France was internally tranquil—The capture of Luxembourg occasioned much exultation; and the death of young CAPET was considered an important event. Flour was at 14 crowns the barrell, and Rice at 10 crowns the cwt. Most other articles were low.
FROM BERCIBE. Capt. Bowlen, from Bercibe, informs, a report was circulating there, just as he failed, That a formidable insurrection of the Blacks had taken place at the Isles Capes. Fire arms, swords, knives, cloths, &c. were purchasing up at Bercibe, to be sent up to Demerara, to arm the Bucks, (Indians) to assist in quelling the insurrection.
The brig Cincinnatus, Robertson 39 days from Belfast with 300 passengers, was boarded on the 22 nd ult. in long. 64, by three frigates of Admiral Murray's Squadron; 46 of the unfortunate passengers taken out, and all the brigs crew except one man.
August 17. LETTER From the PRESIDENT of the United States, To the Selectmen of Boston.
The Selectmen inform their fellow citizens, that agreeable to their directions they forwarded the resolutions respecting the pending treaty between Great Britain and the United States, to the President, and have received from him the following
ANSWER: Ezekiel Price, Thomas Walley, William Boardman, Ebenezer Seaver, Thomas Crafts, Thomas Edwards, William Little, William Scolly, and Jesse Putnam, Esq rs . Selectmen of the town of Boston.
GENTLEMEN, IN every act of my administration, I have sought the happiness of my fellow citizens. My system for the attainment of this object has uniformly been, to overlook all personal, local, and partial considerations; to contemplate the United States as one great whole; to confide, that sudden impressions, when erroneous, would yield to candid reflection; and to consult only the substantial and permanent interests of our country.
Nor have I departed from this line of conduct, on the occasion which has produced the resolutions contained in your letter of the 13th inst.
Without a predilection for my own judgment, I have weighed with attention every argument which has at any time been brought into view. But the Constitution is the guide, which I never can abandon. It has assigned to the President the power of making treaties, with the advice and consent of the Senate. It was doubtless supposed that these two branches of government would combine, without passion, and with the best means of information, those facts and principles, upon which the success of our foreign relations will always depend: That they ought not to substitute for their own conviction, the opinions of others; or to seek truth through any channel but that of a temperate and well informed investigation.
Under this persuasion, I have resolved on the manner of executing the duty now before me. To the high responsibility, attached to it, I freely submit; and you gentlemen, are at liberty to make these sentiments known, as the grounds of my procedure. While I feel the most lively gratitude for the many instances of approbation from my country; I can no otherwise deserve it, than by obeying the dictates of my conscience.
With due respect, I am, Gentlemen, your obedient, GO. WASHINGTON.
United States, 28th July, 1795.
The public will see by a careful perusal of the above letter, that the President had not signed the treaty at the date of it—July 28.
The French papers represent the republican armies, all along the Rhine to be in the most excellent condition, and well supplied with ammunition and provisions; and contrast their situation with the misery and poverty which, they say, pervade the Austrian lines on the opposite side of the river.
From NEW-YORK, August 4. A correspondent assures us, that a letter is received from London, by a merchant in this city, dated June 13, which mentions, that orders are positively issued by the British Ministry, TO TAKE ALL AMERICAN VESSELS bound to the French dominions, &c.
It is asserted, that this order is projected upon our present bone of contention, THE TREATY; and it is most probable, that the seventeen American vessels, mentioned under the London head, to have been taken and sent in by the returning Hamburgh convoy, were made prizes of upon the strength of this new order.
Even in the time of peace, says learned commentators, all American vessels can be carried into the British ports, by the treaty.
AUGUST 8. The wind on Saturday last has proved fatal to some of our sea faring brethren: the following among others, are some of the melancholy proofs of it:
Brig Sarley, Capt. Crawford of Providence, is on shore at Rockaway beach, and the Captain drowned; also the Schooner Nabby of Providence, with 40 French passengers from Jamaica, and another vessel, name unknown, laden with rum and sugar.
PORTLAND, August 17. OF PEACE.
A gentleman from Freeport informs, that a fishing vessel has just arrived there, which a few days since spoke a vessel bound to Halifax, 25 days from London, the Captain of which asserted, That Hostilities had actually ceased between France and England."
SALEM, August 11. Last Saturday we had the agreeable sight of eighty emigrants from Ireland, who landed in this port. Among them has arrived the family of Dunlap, a son of the family having already settled in this town. They are in good health and spirits; chiefly mechanics.
PORTSMOUTH, August 18.
It appears by accounts from various parts of the Continent, that public meetings for considering the Treaty, have been had in the following places, in all of which, it has been almost unanimously condemned, in Charlesstown South Carolina, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Trenton in New-Jersey, New-York, Boston, Charlesstown and Dracutt in Massachusetts, and Portsmouth. At the head of this opposition of the principal towns in America, we find Mr. Rutledge, Chief Justice of the United States, Doct. Ramsey and Judge McKean, both Presidents of the old Congress—a great number of ancient members of that venerable body, as well as many members of the Convention, which framed the constitution; the opinions of these men who were at the head of affairs in the late war, and who seem roused from their retirement by the present alarming emergency, are undoubtedly entitled to respect, and will certainly engage the attention of the President, to whom they have respectfully remonstrated against his signing the Treaty. In Connecticut, a New-York paper observes the uneasiness is universal, in short the people seem more united in their opposition to the Treaty, than they were in opposing the tea duties or the stamp act, but should the President withhold his signature, the impending clouds will vanish, and the political horizon resume its wonted tranquility.
MARRIED, TOBIAS LEAR, Esq. to Miss FANNY WASHINGTON, of Mount Vernon.
DIED. At Newington on Saturday morning, Mr. JOHN GEE PICKERING, after a short illness, aged 60; and on Sunday following was decently interred, followed by a large train of relatives and friends, whose countenances bespoke the loss of one, in whom, while living, concentrated, the kind husband, indulgent parent, benevolent friend, and the industrious honest man, whose death they sincerely lamented.
At Boston, Mrs. Rachel Glyde, wife of Mr. Samuel Glyde, aged 41—Mr. Brown, of a coup de soleil, stroke of the sun, August 7th, —Same day, Mr. Brewer, by heat, and drinking too freely of cold water.—At Brooklyn, same day, a labourer on the farm of Mr. Goldthwait, by a coup de soleil.—At Sutton, same day, by excessive heat, Mr. Jonathan Dudley. Several other similar instances, it is said, occurred; but we have had no particulars.—At Templeton, Miss Elizabeth Shattuck. The number of deaths in that town, since the first of January last, is 23.
