The FARMER.
ON MAKING CHEESE.
Extract from the Minutes of the Philadelphia Society for promoting Agriculture.
THE committee to whom Mr. Twamley's "Dairying exemplified, or The Business of Cheese-Making," was referred, with directions to make extracts of such parts thereof as they conceived to be of the most general utility,—report, That according to Mr. Twamley, the principal requisites for making good cheese, consists in—Reducing the milk to the proper warmth.—Preparing the rennet.—putting it to the milk in due proportion,—Standing of the milk till it becomes a firm curd,—Breaking or gathering the curd after it is come.—All of which he thinks should be attended to with a minute exactness.
The principal error in cheese-making is owing, he says, to these operations being too hastily performed, without giving time for the several effects fully to take place. If a due regard is paid to the making good curd, you will easily make good cheese. You cannot make good goods with bad materials.
It is a nicety to have the milk neither too warm nor too cool.—Milk warm, (that is, at the warmth of about sixty-five degrees) is the best state. To know this heat accurately, at all times, nothing is so effectual as the use of a Thermometer which may be cheap: Too much warmth exceedingly injures the cheese.†
If the milk is found to be too warm, or too cold, reduce it to the proper temperature by the addition of fair spring or well-water, cold or warmed, as the circumstances may require (a quart or two at a time.) Experience shows that this addition of water does no hurt.
The best way of preparing the maw-skin, or rennet-bag, is, as soon as it is cold, when taken from the calf, to swell it a little in water, (some say it should not be cleaned at all) rub it with salt, then fill it, and afterwards cover it with salt: some cut them open and spread them in salt, one over another in layers, and let them continue in the brine they produce, sometimes stirring or turning them for four, six, or nine months, as they can spare them, then open them to dry, being stretched out upon sticks or splints that they may dry regularly; when they are dry they may be used; though it is reckoned best to keep them for one year. Care must be taken in drying them, and especially not to place them too near a fire, which makes them rancid. The most approved method of making the rennet is to boil a gallon of water, make it with salt into brine till it will float an egg, then let it stand till it is about the heat of blood, after which the maw-skin or rennet bag is to be put into it, either whole or in pieces, and suffered to steep for twenty-four hours. The liquor may be put into a bottle or jug. When it is to be used, put such a
† If the sensation of cool or warm to the hand is the rule by which to determine the state of the milk, it will, in general, be found an uncertain standard; because what, in cold weather seems to the touch to be milk warm, may be only fifty degrees of actual warmth; in warm weather the touch may declare it only milk warm, when, in fact, it is at one hundred degrees of actual heat. In the former case the natural warmth of the surface of the hand is reduced to, perhaps, forty or fifty degrees, by the cold air; in the latter it may be at ninety. If a thermometer is not used, the next best way is to first hold your hand, whilst you count thirty, deliberately, in water immediately from the well, then apply it instantly to the milk. Water in wells, not shallow, may be reckoned at all times. Winter and Summer, (or about forty-five degrees of warmth or coolness.) The surface of the hand, held, as above, in well-water, when it shall be applied to the milk, may be at fifty degrees; then the milk feeling full milk warm, may be at about sixty-five degrees, which will prove to be a proper temperature for receiving the rennet that is to act upon the milk.
quantity of it as you judge necessary to your milk—the quantity must be regulated by your own prudence, though it is reckoned that about a tea-cup full is sufficient for the milk of ten cows. Too much rennet makes the cheese strong, and liable to heave.†
When the warmth of your milk is suitable before the rennet is applied, put a handful or two of salt to every 20 or 30 gallons of milk; it forwards and perfects the curd. The great essential for having a firm curd (and in proportion as it is firm, it is perfect) is not to disturb the curd too soon when it is only in slip curd, that is, slippery, soft and imperfect. If it is broke or disturbed before it is firm, it never can be afterwards improved, nor can make good cheese. It ought not to remain at rest less than two hours after the rennet is applied. Slip curd, or such parts of the curd as will not sink in the whey, should be rejected, as they will never unite with the good curd; but if put into the good curd, are apt to dissolve, and thus leave holes and decay the cheese.
When the curd has stood the above mentioned time, gash it four or five times across from top to bottom, with a wooden knife made of lath (but do not break it yet) which will admit the whey to rise, and the curd to sink. The whey is then to be laded off, and the curd being also first well pressed down with the hand, is to stand, a quarter of an hour, to settle, drain and become solid before it is broken into the vat. The greener the color of the whey the better the curd. In general observe the main concerns, which consist in the proper warmth of the milk—the goodness and due proportion of the rennet—the allowing time enough in the tub for perfecting the curd—the turning and keeping the cheese warm when quite new and tender, and cool afterwards.
† By making a quantity of rennet at one time, you will be sure to have it of the same strength; and by making several cheeses from the same rennet, you will, by repeated observations ascertain the proportion of rennet suitable for different quantities of milk.

FRANCE
NATIONAL CONVENTION, MAY 13.
GEN. SANTERRE appeared at the bar, and made this address:
"We are ready to set out for la Vendee; and to-morrow, and the ensuing days, twelve or fourteen thousand men will set out. We have eighty guns, and abundance of ammunition."
"To make our successes more certain, I propose to you to decree,"
"1st. To all the battalions of volunteers who are not inscribed, an experienced officer shall be annexed."
"2dly. All the citizens of Paris who have serviceable musquets, shall deliver them to those who are to set out. The War Minister shall recompense them by fusils to be repaired for that purpose."
"3dly. SANTERRE is authorized to communicate to two members of the Committee of Public Safety, the means he has devised for the activity of the service of the artillery."
"4thly. The War Minister shall have at his disposal six hundred thousand livres for the repair of the fusils, and five hundred thousand for execution of the preceding article."
The General concluded by suggesting, that
"After the Counter-Revolutionists shall have been subdued, an hundred thousand men may really make a descent on England, there to proclaim an appeal to the English people on the present war."
Referred to the Committee of Public Safety.
TUESDAY, May 14.
Several Deputies from Tholouse appeared at the bar, and demanded arms
and artillery for the troops to defend the frontier of the Pyrenees against the Spaniards, and also the institution of a Revolutionary Tribunal.
A letter was read from General KELMANN to the commander in chief LAMARCHE. It states, that the General had just returned from an expedition useless at least. The French had lost the effect of all their late conquests, through the fault of the 19th battalion of Charente, which had suffered itself to be surprized, and had thus lost the principal post.
WEDNESDAY, May 25. Letters from M. LE BRUN, Minister for Foreign Affairs in France.
[The following letters were delivered to Lord GRENVILLE (No. I. and No. II.) on Friday 26th April last, by Mr. John Salter, of Poplar, at his Lordship's office, Whitehall, on his Lordship's requisition, after having perused Mr. Salter's authority.]
NUMBER I.
MY LORD, THE French Republic being desirous to terminate all its differences with Great-Britain, and to end a war, which by the manner it is otherwise likely to rage, cannot fail to bring miseries dreadful to humanity on both nations, I have the honor to demand of your Lordship as Minister of his Britannic Majesty, a passport and safe conduct for a person possessed with full power to repair to London for that purpose.

THURSDAY, May 26.
AUGUIS, a National deputy, stated, by a letter dated at St. Maixent, May 11. that he had repaired to the Departments bordering on those in a state of revolt, to demand succours. Three thousand armed citizens, terrified by the exaggerated statements of the force of the revolutionaries, had retreated to St. Maixent, and afterwards to Nuort, many others following their example, and exclaiming as they retrograded, that the design was to conduct them to slaughter. He had collected together a body of men, and was told that the rebels were only two leagues distant.
DECLARATION
Made by the PRESIDENT of the NATIONAL CONVENTION to the French Nation.
"CITIZENS,
"THE scandalous scene which has just passed in the tribunes, convinces me of the truth of a conspiracy which has been revealed to me by many good citizens, who, fearing the poignards of assassins, have refused to make their names public. I shall now develop this plot! Legislators, people, be attentive!—your safety is concerned!
"The aristocracy and the coalition of kings, who tremble at their inability to snatch from us our liberty by the force of arms, are now preparing to destroy it by an intrigue carried on by gold. These were the days appointed for the execution of their plot; and what passed yesterday and to day in the hall are only preliminaries to it. This conspiracy has been formed for the same purpose as that of the 10th of May, they wish to destroy the Convention by insurrection, and this is their plan of execution.
"The conspirators after having for a long time prepared the minds of the people by crafty speeches cloathed in patriotic language, have misled the members of the popular societies, of the constituted authorities, and even of the Convention itself, so as almost to have persuaded them that to save the country, a new insurrection was necessary. This insurrection has been organized by clandestine committees. Every thing is preconceived and arranged. The disorder which they have created in the Convention, will serve as a pretext for their projected riot.
"The women too lend their assistance, many of whom have been formed into regiments for their iniquitous undertaking—At the moment when their misguided arms are uplifted for the destruction of their country, they endeavour to persuade us that they are employed in saving it.
"A great majority of the Citizens, it is true, have not been seduced; but our enemies have succeeded in making fanatics of that credulous part of the people, who, more remarkable for their virtue than their understanding, are easily misled. They have also attempted to persuade the Volunteers, who are going to Vendee, that they ought not to depart until after the execution of their project.
"The insurgents are to execute, on the members of the Convention, and other citizens, the proscriptions which have been ordered by their leaders. The persons proscribed will necessarily find some defenders; a combat will ensue, and such members of the Convention as shall have been led astray, will be themselves massacred. The National Representation will then be destroyed; the flames of civil war will break forth, and the departments and the armies will be divided.
"A prey to anarchy, there no longer remains to France any rallying point. During these intervals, all the powers at the same time attack our frontiers, the Aristocrats shew themselves, and the Counter-revolution is effected.
"Citizens, this is the abyss into which you are about to be precipitated, if, notwithstanding all that you have just heard, you persist in following the instigation of those who mislead you. I call heaven to witness, it is for your welfare alone that I speak—If you could see the bottom of my heart, you would there discover how

much I abhor slavery—how much I adore liberty. It is she who at this moment inspires me.
“I owe to my country the declaration I have made—I have discharged my conscience, and, firm at my post, I wait the event.
“I love the people too well not to use my utmost endeavors to save them from the effects of their own madness; and if in the excess of their blindness, it should happen, that in this chair I should receive their attacks, covered with wounds I will still offer up my prayers for their happiness; and my last words shall be, “O God, preserve my country, and pardon those murderers, they know not what they do.” (Signed) ISNARD.

Decree respecting neutral bottoms.
ART. 1. SHIPS of war and privateers are authorized to seize and carry into the ports of the Republic, merchant vessels which are wholly or in part loaded with provisions, being neutral property, bound to an enemy's port, or having on board merchandise belonging to an enemy.
ART. 2. Merchandise belonging to the enemy, is declared a lawful prize, seizable for the profit of the captor. Provisions being neutral property, shall be paid for at the price they would have sold for at the port where they were bound.
ART. 3. On every occasion neutral vessels shall be immediately released the moment the provisions found on board are landed, or the seizure of merchandise shall be effected. The freight shall be settled at the rate paid by the charterers; a proper compensation shall be granted for detention of the vessels by the tribunals who are to adjudge the prizes.
ART. 4. These tribunals shall cause to be made out within three days after the judgment has been given, a copy of the manifest of the provisions and goods found on board, to the minister of the marine, and another copy to the minister for foreign affairs.
MAY 20.
RIOTS IN THE CONVENTION.
M. BUZOT insisted on the necessity of free deliberation. The galleries, he said, were filled with blood thirsty women, intent on murder; and much art was used in order to keep honest and respectable citizens out of them.
A tumult now ensued in the galleries; but the Convention having at length decreed, that the delinquents should be sent to prison, a momentary calm was restored.
M. VERGNAUD observed that it was impossible the republic could stand without a constitution. Having moved to punish the men and women who hissed from the galleries, a violent uproar took place, in the course of which the last speaker was accused by M. DUHEM, of being one of DUMOURIER's accomplices, and by M. DAVID of being an assassin.
On this the Convention passed a decree reprimanding the latter as a calumniator.
VERGNAUD.—The royal tygers leagued against France, and PITT, COBURG, and DUMOURIER, wished for nothing better than that these sort of debates should be permitted. It is they who wish to perpetuate our anarchy, and render their victories more easy. Those riotous men are the assassins employed by foreign powers, the agents of PITT and COBURG, the accomplices of DUMOURIER; they will not suffer us to form our constitution, or repair our finances for the support of the war. These men prevent us every day from discussing a single question. [ Murmurs, and a cry for the order of the day ] Citizens, you have formidable enemies to overcome; Despotism attacks the Republic from without, and Anarchy within. We cannot ourselves contend with the first—our brave battalions are employed in that charge; but we will combat with the last, body to body; it is our duty. Our battalions shed their blood in fighting tyrants—let us shed ours in vanquishing anarchy.
“I move that an extraordinary convocation of the sections be summoned for to-morrow night, and that this day's proceedings be sent to them; that an additional guard should be demanded of them for supporting the regularity and defending the members of the Convention.
Referred to the committee of legislation.
PARIS, May 22.
Denmark and Sweden, are united to support an armed Neutrality.
The oath the chiefs of the Counter-Revolution impose on the Peasantry is, “To remain true to LOUIS XVII. to the French Monarchy; and never to carry arms against the Christian Religion.”
Gen. Miaczienki, and Devaux, Adju-
tant General of Dumourier's army, convicted of betraying the republic, by executing his General's orders, were beheaded this morning. The latter, on receiving his sentence, undauntedly said, “I have known how to spill my blood, at the head of armies, in the defence of the people—I shall ascend the scaffold courageously; and may my death be useful to the people.”
HAGUE, May 20.
The chiefs of the counter-revolutionists keep all the volunteers and send the peasants to their homes—the latter swear to maintain the Christian religion, after which they receive a discharge in the following terms:—“I — permit—to retire, upon having taken the oath to remain true to LOUIS XVII. to the French monarchy, and never to carry arms against the Christian religion.
LONDON, June 4.
The circumstances of General Dampierre's death, on the 8th ult. are thus related to us by an officer who was on the spot, but is since arrived in England.
Dampierre himself was not in the engagement with the allied armies, when he was killed. The General hearing that the British guards had advanced to the assistance of the Prussians, had a desire to see how his troops would meet the English for the first time in a general engagement. He accordingly was riding down a hill, accompanied by some of his staff officers, when he was espied by some of our troops, who knew him to be some person of rank by his retinue. A cannon ball was aimed at him, which knocked him off his horse, and he died in consequence.
JUNE 8.
It is understood to be the wish of Mr. Fox's friends, to raise a sum sufficient to enable them to purchase for that gentleman an annuity of 3000l. for life—to discharge his debts, which are somewhere about 10,000l.—and to pay one year annuity in advance. Mr. Coke, Mr. Lambton, and Mr. Wharton give 3000l. each—34,000l. had been paid on Thursday morning, and there were names for very large sums to be produced immediately.
The Count d'ARTOIS is arrived from Russia, loaded with diamonds, swords, and other favors of the Empress.

By his Excellency the GOVERNOR, &c.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS it has been represented to me by the planters, merchants and other inhabitants of this Island, that there is at present a very great scarcity of lumber, provisions, and other articles of life; and that from the number of French public and private ships of war now cruising upon the coasts of the United States of America, there is very little probability of this colony being supplied by British vessels: I do therefore by and with the advice and consent of his Majesty's Council, and by special authority reposed in me for the benefit of his Majesty's subjects under my government, hereby issue this my Proclamation, to permit and allow the following articles of flour, bread, rice, wheat or grain of any sort, horses, horned cattle or live stock of any kind, to be imported into and sold in this island, for twelve months from the date hereof, or during the present war, from the said United States of America, or from any islands or colony in these seas belonging to any European power or state not actually at war with Great-Britain, in all ships and vessels belonging to the said United States of America, or to any of the aforesaid West India colonies. And all officers whomsoever, civil or military, within this government, are hereby enjoined and required to pay due obedience to this my Proclamation.
Given under my hand and seal at arms, at Pilgrim, this 26th day of June, 1793, and in the 33d year of His Majesty's reign.
D. PARRY.
By his Excellency's command.
VALENTINE JONES.
GOD SAVE THE KING.
By his Excellency JAMES SETON, Esq Captain General and Governor in Chief, in and over the Island of St. Vincent, and its dependencies, &c.
WHEREAS it hath been represented to me, not only by the Council and Assembly, but also by all other descriptions of respectable inhabitants within this Government, that from the great scarcity of provisions of every kind, and the vast influx of unfortunate loyal Emigrants from Martinique, the most alarming and dread-
ful consequences may justly be apprehended, if some speedy means are not adopted to procure the necessary supplies. In order therefore to avert so dreadful a calamity as a famine, and consequent evils as far as in me lies, I have, by and with the advice of the members of his Majesty's Council, and the urgent entreaty of the members of the Assembly, and of the inhabitants in general, thought it necessary to issue this my Proclamation, hereby permitting and allowing the free importation into this Island, in any vessels whatever (except vessels under National Colors, or belonging to persons adhering to them) of live stock of all kinds, provisions, such as bread, biscuit, flour, meal, peas, beans, potatoes, wheat, rice, oats, barley, and grain of any sort, for the space of forty days from the date hereof.
Given under my hand, and seal at Arms at Kingstown, this twenty-eighth day of June, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-three, and in the thirty-third year of his Majesty's reign.

ROSEAU, June 22.
We are favored with the following authentic detail of the cause of failure in the attack made upon a Fort near Morn-Carbet , in Martinico , and of the consequent re-embarkation of the British troops.
An attack upon a battery near Morn-Carbet , having been resolved upon, the British troops to the amount of 1300 men, artillery and marines included, were ordered to advance from Morn-Decaffe , with 600 royalists under the chief command of Monf. GIMAT, in order to make the assault by different columns before day-break on Tuesday morning.
A detachment of Artillery with one six pounder had been pushed forward with great difficulty through bad roads the evening before, and having reached its ground, was there attacked, but being supported by the advanced pickets and light infantry, the enemy were driven back with the loss of many men—in this attack Capt. DUNLOP, of the 60th and 2 men were killed.
Between one and two o'clock, the English who were advancing, were informed, that the Royalists, who had marched in the two columns, the one commanded by Mon. DU BARAILLE, and the other by Mon. MONTROSE, had unfortunately crossed in their line of march, and not passing the Parole, had exchanged their fire with great fury and continuance before the fatal mistake was discovered, many of both columns being killed and wounded; and that Mon. GIMAT being desperately wounded and disabled, all the Royalists were thrown into confusion, and had given up all for lost.
This information was soon afterwards confirmed, by the Royalists retreating into the English posts and the British General finding the enterprize no longer practicable, ordered a retreat, which was completed without the least attack or attempt from the enemy.
The troops were re-embarked at Fond Cabot , on Wednesday morning.
ST. DOMINGO.
JEREMIE, July 8, 1793.
“The people of colour emigrated from this part having obtained of the Commissioners a number of men from those parishes that have already submitted to the shameful Equality, assembled at Barraquaires (in the Bite ) about 60 miles from this, with an intention of marching against our town: however, our brave brethren have given them a sound drubbing, 45 miles from here, at Derivaux's plantation. The 17th, those wretches sent deputies to our camp, intreating for a night's lodging, without doubt to massacre every soul: This was denied them. The next morning they attacked, and after a severe fight, which lasted five hours, they made a speedy retreat to Reviere Salie , with the loss of 200 slain, besides many wounded: We have eighty men killed. Jeremie is threatened with a fate similar to that of the Cape : The Commissioners and their satellites are expected by sea, and the other wretches by land. [ It is false therefore that Gen. Borel is in Jeremie, or that it has any assistance to hope besides that which bounteous Heaven may please to grant it. ] There are near thirty Americans here, which we permit to depart in proportion as others arrive. Our females are embarking as fast as they can
—some for the happy shores of America , others for where some generous souls will give them a shelter. Great is our desolation; endless are our woes; and all that, because the offspring of our outrages strive to become men.”
HALIFAX, July 23.
In consequence of the news brought by the Portland Packet from New-York, there was a meeting of the Inhabitants at the Court-House, yesterday afternoon, and although the notice was short, a very considerable number assembled, and the High Sheriff, at the desire of the Inhabitants, having explained the intention of calling them together, a committee of twelve was unanimously appointed to draw up an address to the Governor; which was delivered this day at 12 o'clock.
[The alarming news from New-York, received at Halifax, we are at a loss to conjecture; unless indeed they expect a visit from the French fleet at New-York, as a retaliation for the capture of St. Pierre, Miquelon.]

PHILADELPHIA, August 7.
FURTHER
Particulars of the engagement between the Embuscade and Boston frigates, on Thursday the 1st of August.
They engaged within from 200 to 150 yards of each other, the Boston firing a broad-side, without hailing the Frenchman. The Embuscade returned the fire, carried away the Boston's cross-jack yard, and passed by. The Boston then attacked, and came under the Embuscade's lee quarter, when the engagement became very severe. The first and second Lieutenants of the Boston were wounded in the first half hour of the engagement, the former with a large splinter through his head, which the surgeon could not extract. The fire of the Boston was quicker than that of the Embuscade, in the proportion of ten to seven, but every shot of the latter took effect. About the middle of the engagement a cannon ball carried off Capt. Courtney's head, together with that of his first Lieutenant of marines; and about the same time most of the officers of the Boston were killed or wounded. Five shot struck the Boston below her water mark (in a roll of the sea) and passed through and through, carrying the copper with them. The rigging was also greatly damaged, and about the same time the main-top-mast was shot away. The sails and small spars of the Boston were also so cut and mangled that they had very little command of the ship. During the whole engagement Captain Bompard preserved a decided advantage over the Boston, and kept it through the whole contest.
After Captain Courtney's death, the first Lieutenant was brought upon deck, and took the command. He immediately bore away, as the only possible method of saving the ship, and left the Embuscade mistress of the field. He steered S. S. W. with the wind at N. E. The Embuscade gave chase, but several of her masts being dangerously wounded, and unable to bear a press of sail, she hove about after two hours chase, and took a Portuguese brig from Fayal, which she afterwards conducted into New-York. The hull of the Boston was much damaged, and it was thought impossible for her to keep the sea any time. She steered first for the Delaware, but learning there were two French frigates in this port, she altered her course, supposed for Nova-Scotia. Two French frigates, however, had failed from the Hook to intercept her on that course. The French frigate received but little damage except in her masts and rigging. She had six men killed and eleven wounded: The Boston had thirty-four killed and upwards of fifty wounded.
“During the whole engagement, a little man was plainly seen, dressed in a short white jacket, walking the quarter deck of the Embuscade, with his hands behind his back; now and then, however, taking a pinch of snuff. This was Captain BOMPARD.
“He was pointed at by the officers of the Boston as a mark for the musketry; but it appears he escaped unhurt, as well as all the officers, we are informed, of the French frigate.”
Capt. Courtney is said to be a man of about 30 years of age, and has been in several engagements before. Citizen Bompard is a young man, and was never before in actual engagement.
“’Tis the act of a Briton to bluster and threaten, Hang his tail like a puppy when handsomely beaten.”

PITTSBURGH, August 3.
Four boats arrived here on Wednesday last from Fort Washington—we hear that great preparations are making, and large quantities of provisions, &c. laying in at the different frontier garrisons, which seem to indicate a campaign this fall, provided a peace is not made—It is also said 2000 militia from Kentucky, under General Scott, will accompany our army, if a campaign takes place.
A vessel is arrived at the Delaware, from the north of Ireland, with 400 passengers.—Nine weeks passage.
London papers mention the scarcity of grain in various parts of Spain, to the extreme. The people have been reduced to the necessity of grinding up the most unwholesome substitutes for bread, to mix up with the little flour they can procure.
NEW-YORK, Aug. 12.
We learn, that they write from Halifax, that the ladies of that town gave a splendid ball to Capt. Courtney and his officers previous to their sailing, and that they promised the crew ten guineas each if they would carry the Embuscade into that port.
It is also said, that there is a letter in town from a French gentleman at Baltimore, to a French gentleman in this city, announcing the arrival of a French vessel at Cape-Francois from France, with orders from the convention, to Gov. Galbaud (who is now here) to arrest the Commissioners, Santhonax, Polverel, and send them to France. This news was 24 days from the Cape.
BOSTON, August 16.
FROM SPAIN, June 20.
The following is a list of the Spanish navy in the Mediterranean; which is to act in concert with the British squadrons, in their operations against the French.—They are to rendezvous at Port Mahon; and it is thought have Corsica for the first; and an attack on some of the French ports for a second object: viz.

CAPE-FRANCOIS.
We still continue to receive accounts of the disasters which have fell to the lot of the illfated inhabitants of Hispaniola. Captain HOWLAND, who arrived at New-Bedford from Cape Francois, informs, that when he left the Cape, the negroes and mulattoes were continuing their havoc of the former citizens of that almost deserted island; shooting them; heaping them in piles, and burning them to ashes, and that the stench from this, and various other causes, was so great, as to render it next to impossible to walk on shore.
Those who make a just estimate of the lives of men, and the destruction of interest, must lament the party-spirit which occasioned the baneful disasters in the devoted island of Hispaniola—where the most valuable allotments of life, are made to depend on the tenure, whether Gen. GALBAUD shall be supreme in the island, or Messrs. SANTHONAX and POLVEREL! each receiving their authority from the same source!
Could great men thunder As Heav'n itself does, Heav'n would ne'er be quiet; For every pelting, petty officer Would use this Heav'n for thunder, Nothing but thunder.
Ten thousand of the wretched fugitives from Martinique, have arrived at the British islands, in great distress.
At Montpelier, in France, since the departure of the garrison to the frontiers, 900 women do duty in their room. They are cloathed in short jackets and long trowsers; they exercise every day, are very expert at firing, and are said to observe the strictest discipline.
The army of the Prince de Cobourg consists at present, according to the official Bulletin, of 35,000 men; at the commencement of the campaign it was estimated at 80,000. It is supposed that this campaign alone has already carried off, on one side or the other, 120,000
men. These are poor triumphs, compared to what must follow ere France can be subdued, when we consider the great number of fortified towns that must be laid in ashes, or desolated by famine, and the many millions of brave men, that are determined not to part with liberty but with life.
Letters from Portugal mention the baptism of a young Portuguese princess at Lisbon, daughter of the prince of Brazil. She was baptised by 14 names, the first two, Maria Theresa. The ceremony was performed with a jug of water, taken up for the purpose, last January, from the river Jordan, in Asia.
The weight of metal in the Boston frigate is said to be considerably superior to that of the Embuscade. Her main deck guns are English eighteen pounders; those of the Embuscade, French twelves. The Embuscade's crew consisted of 305 persons, including boys; the Boston had 330, but these (according to the British mode of calculation) were at least equal to 660, if not 990 Frenchmen. The heat of the engagement continued full three glasses (one hour and an half.) The chase, by the last accounts lasted five hours; and nothing but the Boston's superiority in sailing, prevented her capture.
The Governor of New-York has dismissed the Republican privateer, taken a few days ago by the Boston Frigate, thro' the false information of a pilot.
NEW-YORK, AUG. 12.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cadiz, to his brother here, dated June 24.
"There is a hot war with the Spaniards and French. We had accounts from Malaga of a battle being fought between the French and Spaniards; the French have defeated them, with the loss of about two thousand men, and the Spaniards lost upwards of six thousand men.
"The French have got the straights blocked up at Malaga, with a very strong fleet. Last week Admiral Hood stopped here with 28 sail of the line. Six of them came in and anchored. There has been several of their officers on board us. They seem to speak very unfavorable of their expedition. Their ships in general are very indifferently manned.
"They are to be joined by twenty sail of the line of Spaniards, which are lying here now; there are four ships of 126 guns, they are just waiting for orders, so I expect there will be warm work shortly.
"The Spaniards are daily bringing in some paltry prizes of the French; but get none of any consequence. The Spaniards seem in general low spirited, and I believe they are d—mnly afraid of the French coming too far into their country. We have flying news of several places revolting to the French, near their lines; if that be the case Spain will not stand it long."
Various reports having been circulated relative to the force of the British frigate the Boston, we are authorized to assert that the force of that vessel, on the morning of the day on which she engaged the Embuscade, did not exceed 32 guns, English six, nine, and twelve pounders, and 210 men, officers and marines included.
Capt. Bombard has presented to the New York Tammany Society the colours which his frigate wore during the engagement between the Embuscade and Boston.
PHILADELPHIA, AUG. 10.
"It has been said, that the last arrivals from France make no mention of a decree of the National Convention relative to goods belonging to their enemies, found on board neutral vessels, from the Chronique de Paris , however, a very respectable paper, edited by two members of the convention, we translate the following article.
"The English government, appear desirous of treating republicans as wild beasts, who are to be brought to submit through hunger only, for they have ordered neutral vessels, loaded with provisions for our ports, to be stop't: If ever reprisals are warranted it is when the necessaries of life are to be provided. The convention has decreed this day, (Thursday, May 9th,) upon the report of their committee of Marine, that the French ships of war and privateers may stop and send into the ports of the republic all vessels belonging to neutral powers, laden in the whole or in part with provisions from our enemies."
Capt. Swart, arrived on Wednesday from St. Thomas's informs, that the armed vessel that insulted the Danish flag, had been condemned, and the captain sentenced to be hanged, as he could shew no commission. He, however, had the fortune to escape.
The Andromeda British frigate of 32, and the Iphigenia of 32 guns have sailed from the West-Indies for the coast of the United States.
By the tenure of various French papers, it appears that the plots in Paris against the Convention, are considered there as matters of little moment, and by no means formidable in any instance. The insurgents were nearly routed, and their utmost efforts reckoned contemptible by the friends of liberty.
Capt. Watson, of the Schooner Dolphin, arrived here on Tuesday, with 67 passengers from Cape Francois. In the passage she was boarded by a Bermuda privateer, commanded by one M c Dougal, who plundered the passengers of ten thousand dollars property, in plate and money.
August 17.
The Capt. of a vessel from Cape-Cod, mentions the appearance in the Bay, of two ships of war, one supposed to be a 74, and the other a 60 gun ship; But those who are possessed of the best nautical information, suppose them to be either the two British frigates from the West-Indies, lately arrived on our coast, or two of the French frigates lately arrived at New-York, who are said, in the southern papers to have failed in quest of the Boston frigate.

SHIP-NEWS.
Arrived at New-York, Capt. Sheffield, in the brig Two Sisters, from Cadiz; informs—on the 4th May, WAR was declared by the FRENCH against PORTUGAL. In June, a Portugueze Schooner was taken by the French, but retaken by the English, and carried to Madeira, where she was delivered up to the owners, salvage being paid; in consequence, the Portugueze have seized in port, and sent a French Indiaman to Madeira, valued at 70,000 sterl. A privateer from Madeira, says the spoke off Cape Finister, 10 ships of war, 11 frigates 6 sloops of war, and 2 cutters, on their way to join the combined fleet in the Mediterranean.

Stow was carried into Nevis, said to have 100 blds, on freight. There was about 60 sail of Americans at St. Kitts, who are treated with the utmost insolence.
ENTRIES at the CUSTOM-HOUSE. C L E A R E D FOR Sloop Dolphin, Parker, W. Indies. Schooner Betsey, Fernald, Ditto. Sloop Nancy, Lov. N. York
Married, the 10th inst. at Chester, by the Reverend Mr. Flagg, the Reverend JOHN KELLEY, of Hampstead, to Miss NABBY DEARBORN, daughter of Mr. John S. Dearborn, of Chester.
On Saturday the 10th inst. departed this life, at Northwood, Miss POLLY CLARK, daughter of Jonathan Clark. Esq. of that town, aged 19 years.—In her life she exhibited an example of virtuous conduct; which, if universally followed, would make social life agreeable. In dutiful respect to her parents—affection for her brethren and sisters—a sweetness of disposition—and agreeableness of manners—joined with the strictest rectitude—and, in short, every accomplishment requisite to captivate the heart, and ensure esteem—we presume the whole circle of her acquaintance (which is truly respectable) will think it no disparagement to any of her sex to say, that in these respects she was excelled by none.—Cut down in the bloom of life, and the expectations of the fond parents, and we may add, "the friend to whom she was, if possible, still dearer," cut off in a moment, who can withhold the tear of sympathy, none surely can pretend to know their feelings, but those who have experienced the like afflictions. As she lived beloved, so she died lamented, and is gone, we hope, to receive the reward of her many virtues.
While the dear dust she leaves behind Sleeps in thy bosom, sacred tomb! Soft be her bed, her slumbers kind, And all her dreams of joy to come.

STANZAS
Composed by a Lady of New-York, and sung at the entertainment given by the French Consul and French Patriots, at New-York, July 14.
HARK , bark, how the clamours of war Thro' GALLIA 's wide regions resound, BELLONA has mounted her car, And scatters her terrors around. CAPTIVITY bursts off her chains, Her shoutings are heard on the heath, Her veterans are crouding the plains Resolv'd upon FREEDOM or DEATH . But see! from her battlements high Plum'd VICTORY undaunted alight, Her standard she waves in the sky, And urges her sons to the fight. The swords all indignant they clash, They rush round the Basile 's strong walls, Ab! beard you that horrible craft? The Tow'r of proud TYRANNA falls. The minions of despots all fly, Pursu'd by destruction and wrath, FEAR wings their sad flight, and their cry Disturbs the deep slumbers of DEATH . Haste, haste, MAN 's DISGRACE , disappear, Vile wretches, of nature the blot, And wherever your hamlets you rear, May SHAME and DISTRESS be your lot. But GALLIA all hail! may thy chiefs A Temple of liberty raise, And there may their feuds and their griefs Be lost in its alter's bright blaze. And when they remember THIS DAY , Bedeck'd with the LAUREL and VINE , May anguish and care fly away, And their voices in anthems combine. And then may the warbling of songs Be heard from COLUMBIA 's green vales, While echo the wild notes prolongs, And whispers them soft to the gales. And oh! let the zephyrs so fleet Bear the sweet-smelling notes o'er the main, And there let them fondly repeat In the ear of each FRENCHMAN the strain.
On Slavery and the Slave-Trade. COWPER.
BUT , ah! what wish can prosper, or what pray'r, For merchants rich in cargoes of despair, Who drive a loathsome traffic, gage and span, And by the muscles and the bones of man? The tender ties of father, husband, friend, All bonds of nature in that moment end; And each endures, while yet he draws his breath, A stroke as fatal as the scythe of death. The sable warrior, frantic with regret Of her he loves, and never can forget, Loses in tears the far-receding shore, But not the thought that they must meet no more! Depriv'd of her and freedom at a blow, What has he left that he can yet forego? Yes, to deep sadness sullenly resign'd, He feels his body's bondage in his mind; Puts off his gen'rous nature, and, to suit His manners with his fate, puts on the brute. Oh most degrading of all ills that wait On man, a mourner in his best estate! All other sorrows virtue may endure, And find submission more than half a cure; Grief is itself a medicine, and bestow'd To improve the fortitude that bears the load; To teach the wand'rer, as his woes increase, The path of wisdom, all whose paths are peace. But slav'ry! — Virtue dreads it as her grave; Patience itself is meanness in a slave: Or, if the will and sov'reignty of God Bid suffer it a while, and kiss the rod, Wait for the dawning of a brighter day, And snap the chain the moment when you may. Nature imprints upon whate'er we see, That has a heart and life in it, Be free! The beasts are charter'd; — neither age nor force Can quell the love of freedom in a horse: He breaks the cord that held him at the rack, And, conscience of an unincumber'd back, Snuffs up the morning air, forgets the rein, Loose fly his forelock and his ample mane; Responsive to the distant neigh he neighs, Nor stops 'till, overleaping all delays, He finds the pasture where his fellows graze.
PATERNAL LOVE.

FATHERS alone a Father's heart can know; What secret tides of still enjoyment flow When brothers love! but if their hate succeeds, They wage the war; but 'tis the father bleeds.
