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

ARMY of the RHINE.
The German Gazettes give the following statement of the French and Austrian forces upon the Rhine; Clairfayt has under his orders 130,000 men; the army of the Empire amounts to 50,000. These troops occupy from Seig to the Mein, and from the Mein to Vieux Brisac. The French have on the left side of the Rhine 250,000 men from Cologne to Huningen, besides 50,000 from Cologne to Holland.
E. INDIA SUGAR.
Mr. Lambert, an eminent sugar refiner who has established a considerable sugar-house in Calcutta, writes to a friend in this city, that the climate and soil of Bengal are so congenial to the propagation of the sugar-cane, and the habits of life of the natives of that country so widely different from those of West-India planters, that they are able to supply even the West-India islands with sugar, at half the price it now costs in its cultivation there. The prime cost of sugar in the West-Indies, is generally estimated at 35s. per cwt. In the East-Indies, where the land is cultivated by laborers, who work for hire, and where slavery is unknown, it costs the farmer upon an average, 4s. 10d. per cwt. A quantity of sugar sufficient for the supply of all Europe, may be raised in Bengal; and if any article in such unusual demand can be afforded cheap, it will enable the public to bear their other burdens with greater ease.
GENELOGICAL ENIGMA.
On Sunday last a family met and dined together at Sunbury, Middlesex, consisting truly of the following relatives:—
  Two Grandmothers,  Two Uncles,    Four Mothers,  Six Aunts,    Three Fathers,  Three Nephews,    Four Sons,  Six Neices,    Six Daughters,  One Grandson,    Four Brothers,  Two Grand-daughters,    Seven Sisters,  Ten Cousins;    Yet the whole formed only fifteen persons.
At a late field day of the Surrey volunteers, an attorney, who had the first time joined the ranks, on the word charge being given, took out his pocket book and wrote—six and eight pence.
A few days previous to M. de Grand Ceov's departure from la Vendee, general Charette ordered 300 republican prisoners to be shot in the front of this camp, by way of retaliation for those unfortunate emigrants, who were taken prisoners at Quiberon, and afterwards shot at Vannes.
After having done so, he sent off six prisoners, two to each of the three camps occupied by the republican troops, with a letter to each of the commanders of them stating how much he was afflicted by having been obliged to have recourse to such violent measures: but that the barbarities exercised by Vannes had forced him to adopt this wretched law of retaliation, in hopes that it might hereafter prevent a repetition of such wanton cruelties.
He told them at the same time, that he was determined to sacrifice man for man who should be murdered by the republicans after becoming their prisoners.
September 17.
The Lord Chancellor and Mr. Pitt are set off for Weymouth, where they are to be met by the other Cabinet Ministers, a Grand Council being to be held with the King at Gloucester Lodge this day at two o'clock, on the present posture of affairs.
A proclamation for calling both Houses of Parliament, to sit for dispatches of business, is talked of as likely to take place directly after their return to town.
Letters of Marque having been granted by Government against the Dutch, the Stocks yesterday experienced a depression of one quarter per cent; though what difference the adoption of such a measure can possibly make, in the relative situation of the two countries, we cannot possibly conceive.
Some advices were received at the Russian Ambassador's yesterday noon, from the fleet of that nation, cruising off the coast of Holland.
The following officers are appointed to attend the expedition to the West-Indies, under the command of Sir Ralph Abercrombie: Major Generals Hunter, Campbell, F. Dundas, Graham, H. Piggot, and Morhead.
FRANCE.
PARIS, Aug. 29.
The inhabitants of the Island Re-union and Isle de France have lately sent an address to the Convention, which concluded as follows:
"These important Islands belong still to the Republic, and we are determined to defend them to the last; for in whatever force or number the English may present themselves, we swear to our country that they will never conquer but dead bodies and defectors."
They transmitted besides the sum of 75,964 livres, which they desired should be distributed among the partners or nearest relations of the citizens who were killed in the naval engagement of October 22, 1794, between the French squadron commanded by citizen Renaud, and the English.
HOLLAND.
HAGUE, Aug. 26.
The military committee made a report on the state of defence of our coast; the purport of which is, that the commissioners, sent for
this purpose on the spot, have found the whole coast in the most respectable state of defence. They added, that Europe would find it difficult to conceive how a fleet so long neglected, abandoned, decaying, could have been re-established and put on the most respectable footing; and all this almost without money, without classified sailors, and in a very short time. Patriotism and the love of liberty supplied every thing. The greatest harmony, fraternity and subordination to their commanders, reign among the sailors, every one of them is animated by an ardent desire to engage and humble the enemy of Republics and Liberty.
The president of the assembly has since announced, that the fleet had taken the sea, and that the Republic might expect from its strength, and the intrepidity of its patriotic sailors, the greatest success of liberty and commerce.
The object of Admiral de Winter's late cruise off the coast of England, was to reconnoitre the enemy, and form a junction with the squadron of the Meuse, both of which he effected. He found the fleets of the enemy composed of 20 ships of the line, and 16 frigates and armed ships.
The Dutch fleet is now composed of 17 ships of the line, 4 ships of 56 guns, 18 frigates, and a number of sloops and brigs, besides the light squadrons of the Meuse and the Hondt, will form a junction with the French squadrons fitted at Dunkirk.
From the LONDON COURIER.
Arrangements for Peace.
The following letter has been transmitted to us, by the same Anonymous Correspondent, who in March last, informed us, that Prussia was negotiating a Peace with the French Republic. The correctness of that information has induced us to give insertion to this second letter.
To the Editor of the COURIER.
"SIR, "THE latter end of February or beginning of March I sent you some information respecting negotiations for peace, signed "A MERCHANT," and which you very rightly thought important; the information I then had and communicated to you proved very fortunate to me, as it proved true in effect; the assurance, that peace was negotiating between Prussia and France, long before that time, you observe, has proved true, and I have now other information that Peace is now actually negotiating, by a side wind, between this country and France, so far as that the leading principle, the acknowledgment of the Republic, is unqualifiedly understood.
"The preliminaries between the Emperor and the Committee of Safety have been long settled, except as to two points, and on account of the delay of these, the Committee, and particularly Reubell, suspected that it was a feint to see the ultimate success of the Quiberon invasion, before the Emperor removed these obstacles.
"Yet, such is the eccentricity of our Cabinet, that even pending their side-wind negotiations, the conquest of the West-Indies is to be attempted!!! The conquest of the West-Indies with the Negroes in freedom!! Such is the madness of our Administration.
"All further attempts at invading France I can assure you are at an end; experientia pro fuit :
"Our public animadversions in the last Session of Parliament upon the conduct of Prussia were all agreed upon and clearly understood, before they were uttered by Ministers. The King of Prussia knew what was to be said by Ministers. The opposition he did not care for.
"You will say this is strange; but the cause explains it; we are now to have a negotiation formally opened in a very few months through the mediation of Prussia, in which great care is to be taken that nothing is given, but, if possible something taken from Russia, a power now dreaded by most of the European powers except the French, who as a nation of armed men, need not fear any power upon earth.
"Russia, Sir, is the great bugbear of the Allied Powers, as well as of Turkey and Prussia, the long step, and the broad march made towards the Dardanelles, were a dreadful stroke, and perhaps our administration have never struck a wiser stroke of policy than to avoid the requisition of Russian troops to act against France, and at the same time to divert the Russian navy. Compare these remarks with the Duke of Leeds's speech on the Russian armament, where much solid information is acquired to the public, and which proves a complete justification of his grace's conduct! I have often wished for a personal acquaintance with his grace merely for the discussion of that topic, in which he has at once shown himself an able minister, and a friend to his country and the future peace of Europe.
"The value of Corsica will not be an obstruction to Peace on either side. If the French Republic is established, we cannot keep Corsica; and the foresight of this will, neither induce the French to demand it, nor ourselves to hold it.—To us it is an expense without emolument, or rather with the danger of broils. To the French it is assuredly of more value, but not worth a ransom.
"The West-India possession will be a great bone of contention, and our Cabinet, foreseeing this, are induced to the trial of new conquests to prevent the loss by exchanges for a Peace—but the chances are so much against us, from the state of the negroes, the diseases and other causes, that they cannot be justified in the attempt; and rather than pursue the left-handed negotiation they are now pursuing, Ministers would do better to negotiate fairly at once; for it is a fact, that if the people of this country
will permit them to conclude a peace, France is willing.
"I would pledge much for the veracity of what I say, in point of fact. Of the observations, the public and you may judge; and, if I am not in error in another fact, you will infer in your valuable Journal, within three weeks, the outlines of the terms between the French and the Emperor in all his characters, notwithstanding the attempts in Piedmont, which were only induced as a diversion, that would prove advantageous, if the Quiberon invasion, and Conde's projected attack, had succeeded. The Austro-Sardinians, &c. will from hence relax.
"Your's, sincerely,
"A MERCHANT."
August 25, 1795.
NORFOLK, Oct. 26.
We understand that there is a Proclamation in town from Victor Hugues stating, that a register is kept of all American property detained at Guadaloupe, and that restitution will be made for the same. It also invites the planters to return to their respective habitations.
PETERSBURG, Oct. 27.
We are informed that circular letters have been transmitted by Mr. Randolph, the late Secretary of State, to his friends in various parts of the union enclosing a certificate, which was sent by citizen Fauchet to the present French minister, citizen Adet, and by him communicated to Mr. Randolph. The contents of this certificate afford Mr. Randolph a complete exculpation from the charges which have been so industriously disseminated against him. Many interesting particulars are detailed also in this certificate, which it is thought improper here to mention, as Mr. Randolph's vindication, addressed to the people, will, it is supposed be in a short time published.
GEORGETOWN, (S. C.) Oct. 6.
The following letter from the President of the United States was received by last post, in answer to the petition of the inhabitants of Georgetown and its vicinity, respecting the Treaty between the United States and Great-Britain.
United States, Sept. 14, 1795.
SIR, I received your letter of the 31st July, which covered an address of the inhabitants of Georgetown and its vicinity, expressing their opinion on the Treaty lately negotiated with Great-Britain,—and requesting, that it might not receive my assent.
It is now well known, that my assent to the Treaty has been given—and the principles which governed my determination have also been made public.
On a subject so complex, and having such extensive relations, some diversity of opinion might be expected. But those of my fellow citizens who believe, that "in the course of a perilous war and arduous administration," I have given proofs that "I loved my country," will not easily be persuaded that, at this late period, and in one of the most important acts of a life which has been devoted to its service, I have ceased to love it.
While I acknowledge the pleasure derived from the confidence of my fellow-citizens, I may assure them of my unalterable attachment to their true interests.
With due respect,
I am, Sir,
Your obedient, G. WASHINGTON.
GEORGE HERIOT, Esq.
FREDERICKTOWN, Oct. 22.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Savannah, to the Editor of this paper, dated October 4.
"The Negroes are very troublesome here: a few days ago, the whole of the country militia were ordered under arms to suppress a numerous collection. What will be the consequence we know not, but expect the result to be dreadful."
LEXINGTON, Sept. 29.
From a variety of letters received in this place from Philadelphia, and other seaport towns, there remains not a doubt the French Republic had intimation of the measures likely to be pursued between the Court of Great-Britain and the United States, long before our States knew any thing of the treaty. No doubt, some persons who had once been interested in our emancipation from British slavery, had taken pains to collect information in that quarter, England where it was most likely to be obtained, and taken such steps of informing the National Convention what interest our envoy felt for their welfare. However far that may be the case, Mr. Munroe has repeatedly mentioned the disagreeable situation in which he now remains, and certainly disagreeable it must be to an Ambassador from a people, with few exceptions, who are deeply interested in the success of our sister Republic.
The writer of the above paragraph, has had it from many gentlemen in different parts of the country, that a disunion of the States might probably take place, yet relies too firmly on the wisdom and prudence of the American people to suppose it. He well knows, and feels the consequences, which, at the present day, would result from a separation; and still further places a confidence in the legislature of the U. States at their next meeting, that that body of men who are the only immediate check on the overgrown aristocracy of America, will never suffer their invaluable privileges to be wrested from them.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.
By the Ann, arrived here on Sunday last from Dublin, we received the latest accounts from
Ireland. She failed the 5th of September. The papers received by this arrival are to the 3d, but contain little interesting matter. They teem with paragraphs concerning the defenders, who it appears have given the country much alarm. The private accounts contain fuller details on this head.
By these it appears, that the defenders are more formidable in numbers and activity, than ever. Many of the aristocrats residing in the country, thro' fear of them have crowded into Dublin. Many of the country jails have from the same motives been emptied by government, and the prisoners transferred to Dublin. The arms of the invalid hospital at Kilmainham have been transported to Dublin castle, and every movement indicates a dread of serious disturbances.
The Defenders were never before known to alarm so great an extent of country. From East and West and North and South they have spread terror and devastation. They have their men in Dublin itself. Very lately about 20 persons in Dublin were taken up on charges of high treason, and some lately condemned.
The harvest is abundant; but much it is feared will be lost, as the labouring people are exorbitant in their demands, requiring five times the customary wages.
Nov. 4.
The four persons against whom indictments for high treason had been preferred, for bearing a part in the Western disturbances, have lately been tried at York and acquitted.
A gallery is erecting in the Federal Senate-Hall in this city, for the accommodation of the people at their next session.
NEW-YORK, Oct. 30.
We are credibly informed that the British frigate Hussar, now cruising off Cape Hatteras, is in quest of Spanish vessels. Capt. Bias from the Havannah, was spoke by the above frigate a few days ago, the commander of which enquired of him whether he had lately seen any Spanish vessels, that as war was declared between Great-Britain and Spain, he should capture every vessel he could come across, belonging to that nation.
GREENFIELD, November 5.
DIED —At Hartford, Mr. Samuel Gibson, Aet. 34. This worthy citizen was many years a slave, first in the West-Indies, and afterwards at Guilford in Connecticut. After receiving the blessing of freedom, he supported himself several years by fiddling. Having got together a small sum in this way, he opened a grocery shop in Hartford, and continued it till his death. His strict integrity and punctuality acquired him the esteem and confidence of the community, and established his reputation in Connecticut, New-York, Boston, &c. As a trader no man's credit was higher, and the conduct of no man more irreproachable. Such is the reverse of fortune in this world, that the son of his late Master has for several years been a clerk in his store; and to this young man he has left all his property, which is considerable.

MR. MELCHER,
THE interchange of compliments, that have occurred between me and my opponent, seems to have had a wonderful effect on a Republican: he has grown so very polite as not to dispute any of my material positions. He recurs only to the general assertion—"what a Citizen of Portsmouth has said is just, and my opinions have reason and evidence for their support." If a material circumstance is denied by me, and which from its nature, if it existed, is capable of proof—the gentleman is too polite to bring forward any evidence. Yet it is true, says he. If his positions are shewn to be unfounded; he disdains the use of argument. I don't care says he, what I say is right, and I have reason for my support. This way of treating the subject may answer among a party, where assertions prove without evidence, where the imputation of a bad motive is set up without the least colour of reason or proof. The public expect something different. If they are thus trifled with; ridicule and contempt are the portion of the party that uses it. The observation of a Republican, that the statement made by a Citizen of Portsmouth appears to him to be just, betrays an unblushing depravity of mind, which will excite the execration of every man of common sense and honesty. For, besides the original baseness of the insinuation, that the "windows were broke, &c. at the instigation of the aristocratic party," unless he had the fullest evidence of it; in the very next sentence he imputes the whole to a totally different cause. Yet a man, who thus contradicts himself, is thought by a Republican to have given a just statement. No evidence whatever has been offered, that the means said to be made use of in getting signers to the address, were really employed. They were denied upon our part; and it was his duty to produce the evidence, or to resign the statement.
A Republican should be the last, to find fault with a wish to place the proceedings of his town in as unfavorable a point of view as possible. Their proceedings on the subject of the treaty have incurred contempt, and a Republican has impliedly acknowledged, they deserve it. Can the features of any thing contemptible be more strongly drawn, than the undenied assertions—that the town-meeting was illegally called; that it was urged on by means that were unjustifiable, that it was conducted without reflection or attention to the subject, they were called together to consider, except in insinuations respecting the corruption of the person who framed it. And to finish the draught, the reasons of the committee were founded on an ignorance of facts, of treaties and of argument. The amount of all this we have said—none of this is shewn to be unfounded by a Republican. All his reply is, "I am supported by reason and evidence." In fact that party have always ficked at the thought of any explanation of their proceedings. By violence, hurry, and without giving time for reflection, they determined to impose an appearance of universal dissatisfaction; failing in this, they deprecate any scrutiny into the process; knowing it will not stand the test of inquiry. Republican brickbats—Republican effigies—Republican mobs found badly. They do not accord with a constitution founded in reason, and which can be supported only by a delicate attention to the rights of man.
A Republican compliments my critical abilities, I will present him with another specimen. He appears to be ignorant of the proper use of words in saying, Bradshaw's last publication did not favour of argument. And yet that it appeared to be done to gratify a sophistical turn of mind. A part of the definition of sophistry is, that which favours of argument. A Republican's first publication was expressly intended according to him only for the uncaudal and injudicious.
A Republican seems mightily to please himself with his observations on absurd and ridiculous town-meetings. If he will look into the constitution of the United States, he will find the right of petitioning in the people is expressly in cases, where they have become acts of government; and does not refer to cases that may happen. And the fact will turn out to be, that the neutrality town-meeting corresponded with the constitution by express inference: the treaty meeting only by remote reasoning. But why should I lay any thing of reasoning, to a man who seems incapable of an exertion in that way. He talks of the law of nations; but however intimately acquainted with that law—the laws of reasoning he knows nothing of. A Citizen asserted, that the treaty avowed principles opposed to the French revolution. I directly denied it; a Republican did not choose to point out in what way the treaty avowed such principles, declining this, he was surely precluded from bringing the French forward again. As it was an implied concession, it did not avow such principles, or else that a Republican was not able to point them out.
He seems to be afraid we are in danger of a war with the French.—Good man don't be terrified with that idea. Without relying much on their magnanimity or benevolence, we need not be afraid. Our claims on their justice are sufficiently strong to prevent that evil. The French, brave as they are, do not commonly fight without some cause; and we have given them no reason for being affronted with us. Of the injuries we have received from them, I shall not now speak; believing, that they are in a train of development, which will satisfy every candid and fair man; that although there may be no cause for war with them, yet that we are under no obligation for any part of their conduct towards us during the present war.
A Republican in lieu of reasoning gives me advice;—advises me to be cautious—hopes
somethings about gratitude .—A Citizen too said something about taking care to avoid reflections and indecencies. This good advice reminded me of an advertisement of a barber "I shave for a penny; also good advice gratis." His shaving qualities, by the specimen we have seen, are similar to those of the monkey, who in attempting to shave, cut his own wealand.
In the last paragraph but one of a Republican, he is rather entertaining in his manner of address; and however gratifying it may be, it is not very usual. "Tis true, says he, Mr. Bradshaw, I know nothing about treaties and such sort of things; and it is not in my power to make the truth of my assertions, or the ground of my positions appear. But then we have got one of our side, and a precious one he is, who knows all about it. Read him; dispute with him, I will bring him from Philadelphia—and then you may have it out together. In his features of Mr. Jay's treaty , every point that I have asserted is as plain as day—all about our town-meeting—and our effigies—and our mobs—and the address—and the French—and every thing else." It is rather extraordinary, that a Republican has but just found out, that there has been one good thing written against the treaty, for that the features of Mr. Jay's treaty is an elegant and able performance no one will doubt. How came he to suppose, it was a late work. It is more than three months since it was first printed; and long before the Chronicle appeared to know there was such a publication, it was in this town and read, perhaps with impartiality. As a Republican may possibly have read of the features , only what has been published in the Chronicle. I would inform him by applying to Mr. Larkin, Market Street, Portsmouth, he will let him have the whole.—I will also recommend some good publications. "A little plain English," to divert the gloom and ill nature of the opposers of the treaty: "Curtius" to clear their minds from mists, & refine their stile and manner of writing: and "Camillus," to give them information, and make them acquainted with ability and sagacity.—The fact about this business seems to be, that the opposers of the treaty in this part of the United States, thought it impossible, that any thing handsomely and well done, could be written against the treaty. They therefore determined to carry all before them, by violence, noise and abuse. But finding that would not do—and that one good thing had been written on their side—they are so rejoiced, they cannot help telling every body of it.
I have one charge against a Republican directly affecting his character. In his first essay, he says of one of my assertions. "Such a declaration therefore must imply either wilful ignorance or a wanton sporting with truth." And in the course of his essay again mentions it. In my answer I agreed with him, that that charge must rest on my shoulders or his, unless some in pity would impute it to a defect of understanding in either. And I endeavoured to point out the exactness, and shew the propriety of my assertions. Whether well or illly explained by me, from the nature of the charge brought forward by a Republican, if he did not minutely answer and clearly shew the futility of my justification (and he says nothing about it in his last publication;) he consented to acknowledge himself wilfully ignorant, or a wanton sporter with truth—unless he chooses it should rest upon an imputation of a defect of his understanding.—And so we will leave him.
BRADSHAW.
BOSTON, Nov. 10.
Consequential Information.
We can, we conceive, with safety assert, That the Order of the British Privy Council, which subjected Neutral vessels to detention, when bound with provisions to France, is revoked. Capt. Chafe, from London, was at the Admiralty-Office, when a Message was delivered to the Lords Commissioners, from Mr. Scott, acquainting them with the Revocation of the Order against Neutral Vessels; and Captain Chafe, also read at the Coffee-House several times, The New Order of Council, by which the Old Order was revoked.
We have also a further confirmation, in the following
Extract of a letter.
London, Sept. 12.
"Orders have just been dispatched to the Naval Commanders, in the Ports of the Channel, directing them not to interrupt Neutrals in their passages, except when carrying Articles Contraband de guerre to the enemy's ports."
This information, we presume, is important. Freights will again be high and safe.—Passages direct, without interruption; and, whenever we hear of a flowery market, we shall be able to enjoy the sweets of it. The prices of vessels will probably be enhanced.
By Capt. Crocker, from Point Petre (Guadaloupe) we learn, that Victor Hughes was apprehensive of an attack on that island, (probably from Martinique) and was concentrating most of the force of the island at Point Petre.
Extract of a letter from a citizen of Pennsylvania, to his friend in Massachusetts.
"It will give pleasure to all friends to the peace and prosperity of our country to know that at the late election in Philadelphia, and in the state, generally good men were elected who are friends to the federal government, and true republicans."
"I do not feel apprehensive of danger from the evil designs of those who aim to deceive the people by their great but false professions of patriotism, for I think the revilers of our federal rulers now appear so much like the vile Jacobins in France, who have caused so much misery in that country—that our citizens view them as dangerous; this being the case, our good rulers will receive the firmest support of the people. The abusive and scandalous publications designed to injure the President, and many other patriots, whose eminent services are so well known to the people, will serve to strengthen the government, and to increase the public abhorrence of such unprincipled men, whose only aim is to serve themselves."
"You will be convinced when Fauchet's letter shall be made public (if what we can learn about it is true) that its falling into the hands of our government is a circumstance that forms one of the brightest links in that chain of Providential interferences, to which the people of the United States are indebted for their existence, as a free, sovereign, independent Republic."

From PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.
Last Saturday evening arrived here the ship Clothier, Capt. Murphy, from Havre de Grace, which place Capt. Murphy left on the 18th of September, in company with the ships Active, Blair, for Philadelphia; Dispatch, Hathaway, do. Wooddrop Sims, Hodgdon, do. Off Nantucket Shoals, was boarded by the Cleopatra, British frigate, and treated very politely.
Capture of Mentz.
By this arrival we learn that the news of the taking of Mentz had arrived at Havre de Grace before Capt. Murphy sailed from thence, and in consequence of that important event great rejoicings had taken place there.

From NEW-YORK, Nov. 5.
The Spanish government intends to send a force to St. Domingo, to protect it, until the French shall be able to send a force to take possession.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in London, to his Partner in this city, dated Sept. 5. 1795.
"The conduct of the British seems to baffle all management. The contemptuous treatment towards our flag in these seas, and to all claims for indemnification from the government, since the divulging the Treaty, fully evince the blow given by that instrument to our navigation and commerce."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in London, to his correspondent in this city, dated Sept. 10.
"I wrote under yesterday's date by this conveyance; but the Captain being, still here I have the pleasure in informing you, that the orders of our Government for bringing in American vessels laden with provisions, is rescinded; a measure that I flatter myself will give great satisfaction in America."
War between Russia and Prussia.
A Paris paper of the 3d Sept. (a journal de Parlet) has the following article:
"The Empress of Russia has declared war against the King of Prussia.—Amongst the motives assigned by the Empress, in her declaration of war, the following are the most remarkable."
"That his Prussian Majesty has refused to evacuate the districts of Cracovia and Sandomir."
"That his Prussian Majesty has made a peace with the French, to the prejudice of the engagements which he had contracted with a power lately become the ally of her Russian Majesty."
The City of Nice was abandoned and damaged on the 20th of July, by the explosion of a Laboratory, where many people were employed filling bombs, cartridges, &c. without the city, which killed 150, and wounded many people, covering the neighbouring fields, for 4000 feet, with enormous stones, bomb shells, carcasses, &c. The consternation of that great City, on this occasion, is inexpressible—the explosions were numerous, and shook the city—Subterraneous volcano—Earthquakes, &c. struck their imaginations, and that the city, and all it contained would be swallowed up in a moment, was the expectation of all, until the news of the real cause was announced.
The Convention at Paris have resigned that part of the Constitution which insured a new election of two thirds of their body; the Constitution seems to have been well accepted throughout France with this only exception, and this obligation being done away, there is no doubt remaining of its being universally received with acclamation of joy.
We learn that the British frigate l'Oiseau on the 1st of October captured the following American vessels within light of the Philadelphia light-house, in about 25 fathom of water. They are arrived at Halifax.
Ship Van Stophorst, of Baltimore, from Bourdeaux, bound to Philadelphia.
Brig Sea Nymph, of and for Philadelphia, from Bourdeaux.
Brig Mary-Ann, do.
Brig—, from Madeira to New-York, and two more brigs, names unknown.
From the above it appears that the British not only continue their kind attention to our commerce, but have extended their protection to vessels from Portuguese ports.—We may shortly expect the whole world to be actually blockaded by Admiral Murray's very vigilant cruisers.
IMPORTANT.
Extract of a letter from a mercantile house of eminence in London, to their correspondents in New-York, dated
"London, Sept. 10, 1795.
"Gentlemen, "Since writing you this morning, we have to say that an order has been issued by our Government, to prevent the detaining at sea, any neutral vessel bound with provisions, &c. to France."
Nov. 16.
"The Cartaret Packet arrived here on Sunday. The London Gazette announcement of the Dutch war: The vast reinforcements (15,000 men,) intended for the West India service:—The detention of Spanish ships in the ports of Great Britain, have not much the appearance of an approaching Peace. Lord Dorchester, will be superceded by Gen. Prescott in the Government of Canada. A prize ship from Amsterdam is now in this harbour."
By the latest arrivals from Europe, we have received the most important Intelligence. The crossing the Rhine is a striking object in the picture, and its effects will be correspondent with such an auspicious beginning of the present campaign. The Emperor of Germany, must risk a battle, or suffer the depredations and mischiefs of war in his own territory to an extent unprecedented on any former occasion. Most likely it will force him to a peace on reasonable terms; and the Rhine will thus become the boundary of the French Republic.
There was a rumor of hostilities between the Russians and Prussians; but this is probably premature. It is however said, that the differences between these great powers are accommodated.
WEST-INDIES.
We learn by an arrival at Cape-Ann, from Martinico, that the English forces sent to recover St. Lucia, and St. Vincents, had been defeated on their landing and driven to their shipping with immense slaughter. Of one regiment which embarked but five effective men returned. Particulars of this important action, has not yet come to hand.
The letters received by the mail yesterday from Lisbon, intimate that Portugal, as may be expected, is about to follow the example of Spain, and to make peace with the French Republic.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Arrived at Philadelphia, the schooner Eagle, Capt. Phillips, in ten days from Cape Francois, by which we have the following from the remarks made by Capt. Phillips at the Cape, and on his passage from thence—Oct. 12.—This day arrived a frigate from Brest, after a passage of thirty days, with dispatches relative to the peace between France and Spain, the surrender of Hispaniola to the Republic, and the delivery of Jean Francois (who caused the massacre at Fort Dauphin) to be conducted to France for trial.
Capt. Phillips also informs, that a sloop belonging to New-London, arrived at the Cape in twenty five days from l'Orient, and that a fleet of men of war was daily expected from France.
Also arrived the brig Neptune, Pritchard, 42 days from Malaga.
Capt. Pritchard informs, that 200 sail of British merchantmen, under convoy of one 84 one 74 and 3 frigates were ready to sail from Gibraltar, homeward bound. He passed the Portuguese squadron, in the mouth of the Streights, consisting of one 84 and 3 frigates. On the 27th ult. lat. 35, 46, long. 73, 0, spoke the brig Diligence, of Portsmouth, Capt. Collins, from Lisbon, bound to Virginia, out 10 days, all well.
Capt. Benner, of the brig Lady Walterstorf, 51 days from St. Ubes, informs that previous to his leaving that port an account had arrived of the capture of 14 or 15 sail of Portuguese merchantmen, by a French squadron, on the 1st September, off Lisbon, which took out the cargoes scuttled the vessels, and liberated the prisoners.
