INTERESTING French State Paper.
[Translation.]
Extract from the Register of the Decrees of the Committee of Public Safety, of the National Convention.
THE Committee of Public Safety, considering that the 23d Article of the Treaty of Commerce, between France and the United States of America, of the 6th of February, 1778, stipulates formally,
1st. That the French and Americans may navigate in full security with their vessels without any exception being made on account of the proprietors of the merchandizes laden in those vessels, from whatsoever port they come, and although the power for which they are destined, is, or may be an enemy to the contracting nations: that they may in like manner navigate in full security with their vessels and merchandizes and frequent the places, ports, and harbours, of powers, enemies of the two contracting nations, or of one of them, and carry on commerce, not only from an enemy's to a neutral port, but also from one enemy's port to another.
2d. That free vessels shall make free goods: and every thing that shall be found on board of vessels belonging to the citizens of one of the contracting nations, shall be judged free, if even the lading should belong in whole or in part to the enemies of either, contraband articles being always excepted.
3d. That this same freedom shall be extended to the persons who may be on board of the free vessels, should they even be enemies of one of the two contracting nations: and that consequently those persons cannot be taken from on board such vessels unless they be military characters, and actually in the service of the enemy, considering that the crimes of England, have given to the war of despotism against liberty, a character of injustice and atrocity unexampled in history, the National Convention, found itself obliged, in using the right of reprisal, to decree on the 9th of May, 1793, that vessels of war and French privateers should arrest and conduct into the ports of the Republic the neutral vessels which should be found laden in whole or in part, either with produce belonging to neutral nations, and defined for enemies ports, or with merchandizes the property of enemies; but that soon after, on the 1st of July 1793, the National Convention hastened to re-establish, in all their vigor, the dispositions above recited, of the Treaty of the 6th of February 1778; that in fact it has been revoked by that of the 27th of the same month, so far as relates to the produce and merchandizes belonging to that enemy's powers; thus it remains free for produce and merchandizes the property of neutral powers, with regard to which the French government have not to blush for having delayed to shew its justice and loyalty, until the Cabinet of London revoked as they have done, a considerable time after the order issued by them during the preceding year, for seizing every neutral vessel carrying produce of merchandizes of neutral nations to France:
Considering that since, and notwithstanding the affection with which that Cabinet continues daily to insult the rights of nations, and to violate the neutrality of non-belligerent powers, in causing to be seized their vessels laden with merchandizes destined for France, the National Convention enjoined by the 7th article of the law of the 19th of this month, all the agents of the republic, and the commandants of the armed forces, and all officers civil and military, to cause to be respected and observed, in every particular, the treaties uniting France to the neutral powers of the ancient continent, and to the United States; that by the same article, an infringement of those treaties is forbidden, and that all acts which may be contrary thereto, are annulled.
Considering that it is of importance to make known to the world this grand act of loyalty and justice, and speedily do away every pretext which malevolence might employ, either for obstructing or retarding its effect or perverting the same to the prejudice of the Republic—
It is Decreed—
Art. 1. The colonial and marine commissioners shall notify, without delay, all the commandants of the naval armies, divisions, squad-
rons, fleets, or vessels, of the article of the law of the 19th of this month, cited above: and inform them in consequence, that they must regard as null and of no effect the disposition of the 5th article of the decree of the committee of public safety, of finances, and of commerce and supplies, of the 25th of Brumaire last (15 November) which authorized the seizure of merchandizes belonging to enemies powers, until they should have declared free and not seizable the French merchandizes laden on board of neutral vessels.
Art. 2. Merchandizes, even of neutral nations, denominated contraband, or prohibited, shall continue to be liable to seizure.
Art. 3. The articles comprised under the name of prohibited or contraband merchandize, are arms, instruments and warlike stores of whatever kind they may be; horses and their harnesses, and all kinds of effects, produce or merchandizes, destined for an enemy's port, actually besieged, blockaded, or invested.
Art. 4. The commissioners for exterior relations shall transmit the present decree to the agents of the Republic near the allied or neutral governments, with orders to communicate it to them.
Art. 5. The present decree shall be inserted in the Bulletin of the laws.

NATIONAL CONVENTION, 13 Pluvoise, February 19.
Letter from the Representatives of the People, with the Armies in Holland.
"SINCE the letter which we addressed to you on the 2d of this month, the political and revolutionary movements that the invasion of Holland has occasioned, have taken a consistence day by day, more solid and important. These movements appear hitherto to have been confined to a municipal regeneration; but they have been successively extended to the States of the Provinces, and those of Holland are already recomposed. The men whom Prussian despotism had established in office, against the national will, and by force of arms, are removed and replaced by energetic and prudent patriots; no violence, no tumult accompanied this change; and no other difference of opinion is manifested than in confidence which is given to, or withheld from different public functionaries. The regeneration of the body of the States of Holland is of the greatest importance: this Province, the most considerable of the Union, as it is equal in value to two thirds of the United Provinces, has a proportionable influence in the political affairs of this Republic: almost all the ports depend upon it, and its determination in the present Revolution necessarily draws with it all the other independent provinces. This day new deputies of this province take their seats in the States General, thus this body will in a few days be entirely, or at least in a great degree, renewed; and the French Republic may expect to lay the first foundations of a solid and unalterable union with the Dutch nation. The men who compose the new authorities were for the most part, in place before the invasion of the Prussians, and they have done no more than re-enter into the functions which had been delegated to them according to the legal course of the constitution: they have all the characters of legitimacy which were wanting to the creatures of Prussia and the Stadholder.—This assembly has for its President Citizen Peter Paulus, formerly minister of the marine, a warm patriot, who was removed on the invasion of the Prussians, and who unites to a practical knowledge of the maritime resources of this country, experience in her political relations with the powers of Europe. His colleagues, like himself, perfectly accustomed to public business, appear to us equally capable of contributing successfully to an union of the interests of the two nations, and of powerfully seconding the common efforts that we ought to make against England. Their intention is to put aside all questions which tend to alter their present constitution, (the Stadholder excepted, which they reject,) until a more tranquil time shall permit the Batavian people to fix their attention upon the matter, and to make the reforms which shall appear to them convenient.

The powers granted to the deputies sent to Paris are about to be abolished, together with the regiment of 1787; and by and by they will bear no public character at Paris. We announce to you also, that we have made a provisional application to the States General for grain, forage, straw, clothing, shoes, &c. to be delivered at Nimeguen, Thiel, and Bois-le-Duc, to supply the wants of the armies of the North, the Sambre and Meuse. Immense magazines of the English are at our disposal. We are about to make our inventories; we believe that these magazines will be usefully employed in provisioning the strong places which we occupy, and which are all more or less unprovided. The Danes and Americans have given us a proof of their exactness in observing the neutrality by refusing to embark on board their ships in the Texel, the French emigrants who fled the approach of our troops.

LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY.
To the Citizens of the Cape of Good Hope. Citizens of my unhappy Country, It is in quality of your commissioner that I address you at the distance of upwards of 2000 leagues.
Having in the year 1787 in company with our fellow-citizens, Barend, Hendrick and Taute , been the instrument of the first Revolution in my native Country, I have courage enough, to dissolve it to you at present and to expose for the second time by this address to all the dangers which I have to fear on that head.
Betrayed by your Representatives whom you had entrusted with the management of your concerns, your commissioners and you were obliged to fall a victim to the tyranny of some pretended great persons in the Dutch Republic, known under the name of Directors of the East-India Company. Being thus humbled and discouraged, you sacrificed to their hate, your fellow Citizens, sent by yourselves, in the number of whom I was included.
Could you be forgetful of your most sacred duties, and durst you in spite of your most solemn engagements expose them to hunger and death.
In this condition, you were abused, reviled, and ill treated in every manner by low and despicable men, who at all times have measured the virtue of honest men by the quantity of their gold; your Commissioners, however, have known their duty; they were never shaken in their republican principles, although they had it in their power prior to the famous revolution of 1787, to revenge themselves of your representatives and your commissioners by sending back their commission, and to acquire by this means a contemptible fortune!
Invited to this despicable step by a director of the East-India Company, of the 5th department, named Solomon Adrian Vandre Hoop , two of your commissioners dared to reject the proposals with indignation and await their fate. I then knew my own dignity, of which I am still conscious, and every where I can bid defiance to perfidiousness.
Yet, my deluded countrymen, have you courage enough to follow me?—Well then, break the chains by which you have been tied down ever since the beginning of the colony!
Be sensible of your own dignity, and you will be men, you will be free.
Proud of my relation to the French nation, and descending from these elevated minds, who in the year 1789, after the appeal of the edict of Nantes, preferring leaving their native country, to bending their free necks under the despotism of Lewis the XIV. I can inform you that this generous nation have at this moment rendered themselves masters of the arbitrary arm which has held you chained down for upwards of a century and an half; that they are masters of that pack of villains known under the name of the directors at the East India Company: In short, that through the victorious arms of free Frenchmen, the monster of tyranny is beat to the ground; that on the 19th January of the present year, they made their solemn entry into this town; and that being come into our republic as Saviors, they will assist the nation in establishing a free form of government, which will be able to promote the grand design which our good and common Father had when he gave existence to his rational creatures. Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity are the presents which we receive of our victorious redeemers! Generous nation, you, who durst develop the plan of the Almighty in a glorious manner, accept of your fellow citizen the grateful acknowledgement which animates his breast, receive of him the renewal of the oath, which he once consecrated to the cause of mankind; to Live Free, or Die!
And you my countrymen, oppressed, and rendered insensible by arbitrary authority, you citizens of the remote corner of Africa, who stray from the path of virtue, raise your heads; feel your worth; be conscious that you are men, that you are the moral property of the Almighty, and of no Government, and you will be free! Secure your Governor and what you call your political council, the members of Justice, and your Constituents, who under the appellation of Representatives, have betrayed both you and us, and provisionally establish a form of government, till the Dutch Republic shall have provided for it. Remain faithful to it, and in your dispositions, do not forget, that you inhabit a settlement, which can be protected by two generous nations; thus never throw yourselves into the arms of a treacherous nation; the En-
glish have during the age we now live in, in spite of the boasting of some patriotic mountebanks among them (one Stanhope excepted) shown that they are aiming at nothing else but murder and devastation. Thus be upon your guard against them and their adherents; for, as we know, that your present government, like the former states of this republic, are in the interest of the English Ministry, you ought to be valiant, lest your settlement should fall a prey to their rapaciousness! Your carelessness or indifference in this respect will make you responsible towards the French and Dutch nations, in case the colony must be reconquered by the victorious arms of these two Republics. Meanwhile do not dread the power of a mad Stadtholder. He has already taken flight over to England, after having previously, in the assembly of the States, divested himself of his dignities.
And my dear countrymen, in order to inform you of this in the shortest and most expeditious manner, I know no other method than that which the public newspapers offer; accept thus with acknowledgment, the advice of
Your Fellow-Citizen,

Letter from the Empress of Russia to the King of Poland.
St. Petersburg, Dec. 21.
"Sir my Brother, The fate of Poland, which your majesty described to me in your letter of the 21st ult. is the consequence of those principles, which are destructive to all order, and to every social establishment, and which were spreading in imitation to a people abandoned to extravagance and error. It has not depended upon me to prevent these dreadful consequences, or to fill up the precipice which gaped under the feet of the Polish nation, dug for them by their traitors, and into which they are at last fallen. All my good endeavors were rewarded by nothing but hatred and ingratitude. Amongst the evils which at present oppress that people, famine is the most dreadful.—I shall issue my orders to assuage this evil, as much as lies in human power.
This consideration, however, and conscious of the dangers to which your majesty is exposed, amongst the licentious populace of Warsaw, make me with your leaving that criminal town, as soon as possible, and to take up your residence at Grodno. Field marshal count Suwarrows Rymuisky is charged to make you this proposal, and at the same time to take the necessary measures to conduct you thither in as safe and commodious a manner as possible. Your majesty knows my character, and that I am incapable of abusing the advantages which I obtained by the favor of Providence, for the justice of my cause.
Your majesty, therefore, may expect tranquility, the manner in which political interest, (raisons d'Etat) and public security will in future dispose of the fate of Poland; with these sentiments, I remain,
"Sir, my Brother, "Your majesty's good Sister, "CATHERINE," (Signed)
[His Majesty in answer, very readily accepted the polite invitation of the good Empress, and retired to Grodno, after which he wrote the following:
LETTER From the King of POLAND on leaving Warsaw, To the British Envoy at Warsaw, S. GARDINER, Esq. "Grodno, January 26.
"The part you have acted near my person, which is verging towards the grave, and no hope being left me of ever seeing you again, there remains for me at least one important concern, from the very bottom of my soul to bid you eternal farewell. To the last moment of my life, I shall bear you in my heart; and I hope we shall meet again in a place where honest minds and righteous souls will be united forever. All that belongs to the etiquette of Courts has been so much deranged by my unfortunate fate, that probably neither I nor you will be able to observe its usual forms. But my heart shall ever remain true. I love and revere your king, and your nation. You will be so good as to inform them of it. Ever shall it remain a certain truth, that I wish you to preserve your affection for your friend.—Unable to be with you myself, my picture must supply my place.

From the LONDON GAZETTE.
Horse-Guards, March 10, 1795.
A dispatch, dated Osnaburgh, Feb. 28, 1795, of which the following is an extract, has been received by his royal highness the Duke of York, from the hon. lieutenant general Harcourt, and communicated by his royal highness to the right hon. Henry Dundas, one of his majesty's principal secretaries of state.
"I lose no time in acquainting your royal highness, that on the 24th inst. the enemy advanced in force upon the posts of Nienhuys and Velthuyss, which were under the command of Lieut. Col. Strutt, and occupied by the loyal emigrants, and a detachment of Rohan and Bouille's corps. These troops after the most gallant resistance, were forced, with the loss of about one hundred killed and wounded, to fall back upon Northor, and the French occupied those two posts in some force.—They also surprised a small picquet of Salem and Homdesch hussars in Oldenfaul, which they occupied, but
were repulsed, when advancing on this side of that place. Lieut. General Abercromby, who commands at Bentheim, &c. attended to attack and re-occupy the posts of Nienhuys and Velthuyss. This measure, was, however, rendered unnecessary, by the retreat of the French, who left all those posts on the 26th, directing their march towards Hardenberg, and Lieut. Col. Strutt immediately re-occupied them.
"The last reports we received state, that the enemy are precipitately marching their troops from Hardenberg and Coevorden towards Zwoll, and that they have even evacuated Coevorden, taking with them the ammunition and part of the cannon from that place.
"It would be unjust in the extreme, not to mention to your royal highness the particular gallantry and good conduct of the loyal emigrants; they have shown it in every instance, and particularly in this last, in which I am sorry to say they have had four officers and above fifty men killed and wounded. Major M c Murdo, and the other officers left with the sick, have been sent back, and I am happy to add that from their reports, our sick meet with the best treatment possible from the French."
Horse-Guards, March 11.
A dispatch, dated Embden, March 1, 1795, of which the following is an extract, has been received by his royal highness the Duke of York from Major General Gordon, communicated by his royal highness to the right hon. Henry Dundas, one of his Majesty's principal secretaries of state.
"An opportunity for England offering this moment, and of which Lieut. Gen. Harcourt cannot avail himself. I have the honor to report for the information of your royal highness, that the fore-posts, under the command of Major Gen. Lord Cathcart, extending from fort Bourbourg to Neico Shanks, were attacked and drove in, with some loss, on the morning of the 27th.
"I am informed by his lordship, that he was retiring by his left, with his whole force, consisting of Major Gen. Dundas's brigade of cavalry, the 6th brigade of infantry, with some detachments of foreign light troops, and intended re-crossing the river Ems at Rhuen and Meppen.
"I also understand that the fore-posts of the left wing were drove in some days before, but I have not been able to learn any particulars."
LONDON, March 10.
Two days ago Sir Robert Lewis, who arrived from the British army, brought account of Lord Cathcart having occupied some posts which the French had quitted at or near Groeningen; but yesterday Major Clay arrived from Embden with dispatches from Col. Gordon who commands there, dated on the 28th ultimo, which state, that the French and Dutch, but particularly the latter, had obliged Lord Cathcart on the 27th, to quit that position which he was obliged to do with the loss of 3 pieces of cannon. The loss of men in this affair fell chiefly on the loyal Emigrants.
Our troops, we learn, were obliged to quit their position, more from the number of Dutch patriots who assailed them, than from the force of the French.
We have letters likewise from Osnaburgh of the 1st inst. by which it will appear that our troops are perfectly recovered, are in high health and spirits, and plentifully supplied with every necessary.
By a letter from Mr. Callender, Surgeon of the Royal Admiral, Captain Bond, dated from the Cape of Good Hope, in November last, it appears that the patriotic party were very strong there, most of the Mulattoes, and Free People of Colour, having joined that party against the Stadtholder's adherents; some disturbances had in consequence taken place in the town, and several lives had been lost.
Lord Grenville has had a conference with the two Dutch Commissioners, at the conclusion of which the latter sent off their secretary to the Hague, to give an account of the answer of the English minister. It is said, that his answer was, "that the British Government would deliver up the Dutch vessels seized, and take off the embargo, as soon as the Dutch should deliver up the English vessels taken by the French in the ports of Holland; that this was grounded on fair, and just principles; for the States General either were the sovereigns of the United States, and could restore the ships actually in their ports, or they were a conquered people, now making a part of France, and their property was legal prize."
Posture of Affairs in Ireland.
"The accounts brought from Ireland by the mail of yesterday, are truly important. The dispatches from England, in the hand-writing of Mr. Pitt, signifying his Majesty's command to Earl Fitzwilliam to stop the progress of the Catholic bill, and of the bill for the repeal of the Convention act, and to re-instate the persons who had been turned out of office, arrived there on Wednesday last, the 25th ult. And the dispatches, we understand, contained a commission, in case Earl Fitzwilliam should feel inclined to comply with this peremptory mandate, for the appointment of Lords Justices to hold the rights of government in his room until a successor should arrive. The Lords Justices to be the Lord Chancellor, the Chief Justice of the King's Bench, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the Primate.
This was the report in the highest political circles in Dublin, and the friends of Lord Fitzgibbon said, that they had confidential letters from Mr. Pitt, assuring them, that the motions for the introduction of those bills into Parliament, as well as the dismissions of Mr. Beres-
ford, Mr. Wolf and Mr. Toler, had been done in direct contradiction of the agreement made with Earl Fitzwilliam; and that, foreseeing the resignation of the Lord Lieutenant his Majesty had been graciously pleased to put the office into commission. Earl Castledew was mentioned in the same circles as the person likely to succeed. Nothing can equal the shock of the surprise which this dispatch gave the Irish nation. In the House of Commons, on Thursday last, the 26th ult. a motion was made for an address to Earl Fitzwilliam, declaring that he possessed the confidence of that House and praying him to continue in the situation of Lord Lieutenant. This motion produced an interesting conversation, in which Mr. Ponsonby said, that the time was not come for giving the necessary explanation of the reports then circulating; but he trusted, the time was not distant, when they would be fully explained, and, he hoped, satisfactorily, to the honor of all parties. In the mean time he requested, that the gentlemen would withdraw their motion, which was accordingly done.
The Lord Lieutenant did not lose a moment in sending off a messenger with his resignation of the office, and fixing the day for his departure. Unless the whole of the arrangements, which he avers were made before his setting out from England, and upon which he has literally acted, shall be confirmed, he may be expected in England in a week or ten days from this date.
This is not to be considered as an ordinary change, comprehending no other consequences than that of the momentary triumph of one party over another. It involves in the opinion of wise and enlightened statesmen, the fate of Ireland.
MARCH 11.
The private letters from Dublin give the most alarming account of the ferment in that country. The counties were all to be assembled for the purpose of addressing the LORD LIEUTENANT on the present dangerous situation of public affairs; and it is generally believed, that the Noble Earl will not think it safe to quit the country in the present temper of men's minds, until his successor shall arrive. The rumour was, that Mr. WINDHAM had written a most pressing letter to his Lordship, beseeching him to continue, and to wait the result of the explanations that would yet be attempted.—This the Noble Earl certainly will not do; but it is probable he may postpone his return beyond the 8th inst.
Two respectable gentlemen, have left Ireland for this country, who being witnesses of the terms of agreement, between PITT and Lord FITZWILLIAM, come to prove that the latter has been faithful to them; and that all the innovations are on the part of the former. This the friends of Mr. PITT deny; each party is warm, and breathe mutual defiance.
His Majesty, it is said, intends to relinquish 100,000. of his established salary towards the support of the war; and also, it is added, means to pay the present debts of the Prince of Wales, out of his own private purse.

"Marshall MIRO informed me that he had learnt that the enemy were advancing with 900 men towards Aspeytia and Azcoytia, with an idea, as was supposed, to take the right entrance of the Point of Azcarate, but not advancing very suddenly, we were prepared to meet them; and the severe firing we gave them, obliged them to give up the enterprise with considerable loss.
"I immediately gave orders to my troops to prepare for action, which they did with alacrity. I sent to the colonel of the Austrian regiment, to request 500 men, to assist me, if the enemy should again attempt to gain possession of Azcarate.
"I ordered 400 men to Mount Elouza, to prevent the attack of Azcarate, by assaulting the enemy on their flanks.
"Accordingly, the French again attempted our posts, but were repulsed, and we are still masters of them, after a firing of seven hours, though our force was not more than 500 men.
"At two at night, I was told our advanced guard had perceived the enemy advancing again, about 1000 strong, with reserves, &c. to attack us. The attack commenced, and we defended ourselves with only 800 grenadiers, and a few light troops. A severe firing continued one hour and an half. A prisoner we took, tells us, the French loss was considerable; and many wounded were seen carried off the field. Two officers were among these.
"I was also told, 300 French possessed the heights of Olvertagnie, and were advancing rapidly towards Pagochoeta, on which 400 men were ordered from here, with a militia company, volunteers, &c. They met the enemy, and drove them as far back as two cannon shots from Azcoytia."
[All we can infer from the above, is, that as the places mentioned were advance of Bitboa, that place must have been in the hands of the Spaniards at the above date.]

NORFOLK, April 23. The ship Harriot, Captain Robert Hatton, arrived here on Saturday from Jamaica.—The Capt. says, that on the 16th inst. he was boarded off Cape Henry, by a boat from the Lynx, a British sloop of war, that the lieutenant who came on board, after examining his papers, impressed three of his men, two of whom were Americans with protections, and put them on board the Lynx, that the lieutenant insisted on his paying the men's wages, and threatened on his refusal to cut the sails of the ship from the yards, and let her go adrift, that it was with difficulty he could save his second mate from being likewise impressed.
After this unwarrantable treatment they put on board the Harriot, Thomas Marden, who says, that he belonged to the ship Harmony, Capt. Robertson, of Baltimore is a native of Pennsylvania, and was impressed by the commander of the Lynx in New-Province, about six weeks ago, that no regard was paid to Americans, who are impressed indiscriminately with British subjects, and that there are on board the Lynx at present a number of Americans.
CHARLESTON, April 11. A few days ago arrived at Wilmington, N. C. the French privateer La Petite Pique-de-Paix, Captain Sougy, with her prizes, the Spanish brig La Concepcion and polacre Donna Maria, both from Old Spain, bound to the Havana; the prizes were taken the 6th ult. off Hispaniola, are laden with oil, wines, dry goods, &c. and supposed to be worth 120,000 dollars.
All the ports in the Bight of Benin were very sickly; a number of vessels belonging to the United States, which had failed for the continent weakly manned, had been driven off the coast by contrary winds, and returned to the West-Indies in great distress; four of them arrived at Cape Nicholas Mole, and, though they had loaded at republican ports, were permitted to sell their cargoes, and were treated with civility.
We learn from Savannah, that every British vessel, which has been claimed as being prize to privateers fitted out in America, under French Commissions, has been given up. Five of this description were restored in the port of Savannah alone.
Extract of a letter received by a merchant of this city, from a correspondent at Bermuda, dated the 21st of April.
"I hope before this, you have received the pleasing intelligence of the great alteration that is at last going to take place in Bermuda, with regard to the indiscriminate condemnation of all American vessels from French ports, the Judge having at last determined not to condemn, but to pass interlocutory decrees on them all, which implies the claimants are to have the property, and depart with it, on giving security to the Court, for the appraised value. This I sincerely hope, will tend to conciliate and calm the minds of the people of America, who have had very great reason to be aggravated by these piratical depredations."
The States of Holland allow the free importation of corn and flour into that Republic.
BOSTON, May 7. Political Summary, with Curfew Observations.
THE latest arrivals from Europe, are via Philadelphia and New-York, to March 12th. The intelligence by these arrivals continues as favourable to the cause of France, and of course favourable to the great cause of Democratic Republicanism, as its most zealous friends can possibly expect, or even wish. The idea of reducing that illustrious Republic, by famine is renounced, even by the authors of this detestable project. The British Minister well knew, that there was no other way open to check the intrepid spirit of Republicans but that of bringing this heaviest of all possible calamities, on their domestic relations.
To effect this purpose, secret orders among other base measures, were issued to arrest and detain all neutral vessels, bound to France, with provisions. That this scheme has been baffled, is owing under Providence, to the bravery and heroism of the Democrats of France, both in the cabinet and in the field. The recapture of Toulon, and the unexampled successes in Brabant, Spain and elsewhere, have induced the British Ministry to revoke those orders, and to permit neutral vessels to enter unmolested into the ports of the Republic.
We have said in a former Chronicle, that provisions of almost every kind, were as cheap and in some respects much cheaper in France than in Boston. This assertion is abundantly confirmed by every arrival from that highly favoured country. Several vessels have actually left France, with their cargoes of provisions unfolded—and some have been sold to a great loss. Naval stores are also comparatively cheap.
Seventy thousand soldiers, who have been deluded, are now returned to the bosom of the Republic and will march from La Vendee against the common enemy the British.
As the torch of war burns to its socket, by consuming the materials by which its flame has been sustained, so the necessities of the different monarchs engaged against the Republic, have, or will oblige them to solicit for the restoration of peace. After Prussia, we may expect Spain and the Emperor will follow her example. Indeed a French passenger in a late vessel from France, says the Treaty of Peace with Spain was signed at Paris—at least so it was reported.
By every arrival, we have also a confirmation of what we have heretofore asserted, that every thing appears tranquil in the interior. Since the tyranny of Robespierre has been discovered and suppressed, affairs have assumed a more agreeable and placid aspect. There are very
few executions; and fewer crimes against the laws of Morality, than in any nation, perhaps on the globe. At least, if there be any nation which in this respect have the advantage of the French, it is the Americans.
They have lately resolved, in imitation of the Americans, not to pay the Clergy out of the public Treasury; but, as in this country, these useful teachers of piety and morality are to be paid by contract, for services actually performed. The schools of morality and of politics, lately instituted, promise immense acquisitions to the interests of Literature in France.
In short, the National Convention, having vindicated the honor and freedom of the Republic, are turning their attention to their internal improvements, which will at once be the ornament of the country, and a blessing to human nature.
On the other hand their enemies, and we may almost say their only enemies, the British, are fast verging in all human probability to destruction, or at least their present abominable and corrupt Government. They have declared war, or what with them is more in character, they have began their legalized piracies upon the Dutch Commerce. They in the first place, forced the Dutch into a war with France, to support, and even extend the power of the Stadtholder in Holland, and to render absolute the authority of the crown, in their own country; and now, disappointed in both objects, they are determined to wreak their resentment on those very allies they could not protect—by robbing them of their property wherever they can find it.
The Dutch it appears are going on peaceably forming a Constitution, founded on the eternal basis of the Rights of Man. And so tranquil are the citizens of Amsterdam, notwithstanding the French soldiers are quartered in the city, and notwithstanding the great and astonishing Revolution that has taken place, that one would suppose there had nothing material happened.
At Demarara, April 3. Captains Keefwell and Oakman, of Boston; Capt. Stone, of Saco; Adventure, of Portsmouth, Captain dead, vessel leaky, laid on shore with cargo in; George of Portsmouth; and Captain Dickens, of Kennebec.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Ebenezer Wheelwright, to his owners in Newbury-Port, dated Bermuda, April 21, 1795.
"Our vessel, with her cargo, was brought to trial this day, but the decree of the court is not yet known, though I am well convinced that it will be an interrogatory decree, which is, that the vessel and cargo will be appraised here, and delivered to me on condition of my giving bond with sufficient security for the amount of the appraisement, paying the charges, &c.—which bond will be cancelled should the property be hereafter acquitted, which no doubt will be the case. We are to give two and a half per cent on the appraisement here, for security, and to proceed on to Philadelphia, where we are consigned to the house of Gardner, Holden and Co. All who do not belong there are to give that house the consignment and to deposit the amount of the bond given here in their hands. Ten days ago I waited on his Excellency the Governor respecting a petition which had been preferred by some of my countrymen, begging that their trials might be postponed for 60 days; however, his Excellency advised me to bring on my trial as soon as possible, saying that he had no doubt but I should be satisfied with the issue, that more he was not authorised to say. In consequence of which I have been ever since endeavouring to have a hearing, but could not bring it about until to-day. Our vessel is the first that will be privileged with an interrogatory decree, if it should be, as I have every reason to believe it will. Nine others of our countrymen will stand or fall with me, they being in the same predicament."
Since the conquest of Holland the Duke of Richmond has never pulled off his Boots. He dreams of nothing but invasion, and in a few days the whole Artillery in England will be in motion, with the Noble Duke at its head. All the Generals on the Staff at home have received notice to repair to their posts on the coast at a minute's notice, and to provide themselves with Watch Coats and Flannel Night Caps.
Capt. Cox arrived at Philadelphia from Liverpool, informs that while he was lying down the river, he heard that orders had been given by the British Ministry to prevent emigration in future from Scotland.
From GRENADA, April 14.
On Wednesday arrived here, Capt. Norton, in 22 days from Grenada. He informs us, that he was lying there from the commencement of the Insurrection and Massacre, on the 3d March till the 4th April. On Monday 3d March, a black belonging to a gentleman of the place, was told of the project of the insurrection, and invited to join in it; but instead thereof he informed his master, who carried the information directly to the Governor. The Governor discredited the whole story, and notwithstanding the pressing remonstrances of the gentleman who called upon him, would make no preparations for the occurrence of such an event. About midnight following the same day, the plan of revolt being ripe for execution, burst forth upon the inhabitants of Ghoff and Grenville Bay . Capt. Norton was then laying at the latter place, and says he was aroused from his sleep by a sudden firing of small arms, pistols, &c. The firing increased; the hallooings of the blacks and mulattoes, the screechings of massacring inhabitants, men, women and children, who were now calling loudly for help, and then, groaning under their multiplied wounds, continuing the melancholy cadence to death, formed one of the most horrid and affecting scenes for the mind's eye, that the annals of barbarity record.
A Capt. Smith, whose ship was laying in the Bay, lodging on shore that night, received two balls when making his escape, which he did, by springing into the surf, and swimming to Capt. N's vessel; the Capt. of another vessel in the Bay, was shot on shore. About 50 of the inhabitants escaped, and got on board Capt. N's Schooner, by good fortune, and got her out of the Bay, where he was embargoed with many others a number of days. The mulatto insurgents made nightly attacks upon that place and Ghoff ; a few troops were sent from Barbadoes to assist the English, about 300; they with volunteers marched out, and gave the mulattoes battle; they were defeated, and but few of them reached St. George's again. The mulattoes give no quarter; make no prisoners; all that fall into their hands are massacred, without distinction.
The number of missing negroes only, which are supposed to have joined the revolt, exclusive of the people of colour, has been estimated at 15000. St. George's, however, is very strong, and well fortified, and with any tolerable reinforcement, is capable of holding out against every attack of the Insurgents; but the rest of the island must fall to them.
The American captains there, in the general commotions, suffer considerably. Some have sold their cargoes on short credit, and the purchasers are massacred; others have sold to those who are now unable to pay; and all are unwilling to part with what specie they have on hand, when there is so much probability of its soon being wanted to purchase them shelter in some other island, or on the continent. Some Americans will go to leeward to strive to patch up cargoes for home. Others must return immediately, light.
HISPANIOLA.
Capt. Blanchard, from Nichola Moie, informs us, that the French had prepared their army, and were just about marching to attack Port-au-Prince.
OF ST. LUCIA—VIA NEW-YORK.
Capt. Marfleton, of the Schooner, who left St. Lucia on the 4th inst., has handed the following accounts of the actions, which had taken place at that Island, previous to his leaving it.
On the 30th of March, one hundred of British troops marched against the Republican army, where they were encamped, two miles from the garrison. The action began at day light, in the morning—a very smart fire of musketry was kept up for one hour and an half; the British got possession of the hill, and drove them from their camp—but another party of the Republicans came up, and joined the former; the British not having men sufficient to keep their camp; The Republicans re-took it again, they amounted to seven hundred men, whites and blacks. The English made a retreat, with the loss of 35 killed, and 5 wounded; the blacks killed the wounded, that could not get away.—Major Malcom, who had the command of 200 black troops, marched at 2 o'clock in the morning.—It was his intention to come in on the back of the camp, so as to assist the white British troops, and to get the Republicans between two fires—but Malcom's guide, took him the wrong road thro' the woods, by which he was too late for the attack. On his return back to his own camp, a scouting party of the French, fired out of the woods, and killed three of his men; and, on the 31st March, the French were building bomb batteries, within two miles of the garrison—The national flag could be perceived flying where they were at work; they consisted of 1000 strong, viz. of whites, mulattoes, and negroes. On the 2d April, the Republican army advanced within one mile of the town of (Castria), and encamped on the upper heights. This morning, at 11 o'clock, General Stewart took the command of 50 troops out of the garrison, & two field pieces & joined Major Malcom, and his black core of two hundred, who had possession of the little heights, at the back of the town; the French and English, was within half a mile of each others camp; all the English people that was in the town, was under arms. The most part of the French white people and negroes had made their escape from the town, the night before, and joined the Republican army; they were at least to be supposed fifteen hundred strong, but poorly armed with guns and ammunition. The General sent troops from the garrison, on board of all the English shipping in the harbor, to fight their guns, there was one English ship of twenty guns, and two brigs of six guns each. The garrison could do no execution, because there was a high hill between them and the Republican camp. The action began when Capt. Masterton came out of the harbor.
AN ARRIVAL FROM GRENADA, yesterday, informs that the Charybs are in possession of the whole island, two ports excepted, in which the Captain had been embargoed 41 days by the English.
AN EMBARGO
was laid on the Dutch ships in the port of Cadiz, on the 27th February. This intelligence came, by way of Portland, in a letter to a merchant of this town, and may possibly have some influence in expediting a peace between that kingdom and the French republic.
From NEW-YORK, May 6.
Last Monday Capt. Heyden arrived here in the ship Cleopatra , in 47 days from Havre de Marat. Very little intelligence can be collected by this arrival, except that provisions are scarce at Havre, and that victory against the Spaniards continues to be the order of the day in the southern patriotic army. Capt. Leader, of Boston, however, who arrived in this vessel (corroborative of accounts, via Marblehead) relates as follows:—"That a peace with Spain was
talked of at Havre de Grace, and it was generally believed would soon take place; in case of such an event, Spain was to furnish a maritime force, to act in co-operation with the French and Dutch fleets. He also says, that in and about Havre there were about 300 flat bottomed boats in great forwardness; and that a proportionable number were building in the different ports of France. From these and other corroborating circumstances, it was the received opinion there, that a descent on England was in contemplation."
