LAW, in a popular government, is the will of the people declared by a majority of their representatives; the will of the few must necessarily submit to the will of the many. This idea is the essence of a Republican government, and is what distinguishes it from a despotic monarchy.
“LEGAL ADJUDICATION.”
BOSTON, SEPT. 6, 1794.
IT is our duty to say, that spoliations on the American commerce, still continue to be practised by the pirates of the Bermudas. We have in our possession, letters from Capt. BICKFORD, to Mr. WELSH, his owner, in this town, which informs, that the Schooner Polly, of this town, with her cargo, and every thing on board, had been captured by a Bermudian privateer, carried into Bermuda, and condemned.—The charge against her, for furnishing the French with provisions.
The following letter contains more particulars on this subject, than we can collect from others, which, with due allowance for the colourings, which injury and insult will of course produce, may be considered as authentic.
Copy of a letter received from Bermuda, dated July 30, 1794.
“The privateers out of Bermuda, continue to fend in all American vessels, taken, bound to, or returning from, any French port, which are invariably condemned,” and the owners obliged to pay cost of suit, and which amounts from 500 to 800 dollars for each vessel.
“Several American vessels have been sent in here, bound to, and coming from English and Spanish ports, detained a long time, and carried out of their way, to the great damage of their voyages, and after their vessels were ruined by the worms, and their cargoes perished, they have been discharged, paying cost of suit. One vessel in this situation was robbed of a quantity of dry goods to the amount of three hundred pounds sterling, the only articles on board but what perished by laying a long time in the vessel. Her fish was sold for 3s. per ten quintal, cash, which, in America, must have cost twenty-five dollars, besides Freight and other charges: her bacon at 1 1/2 per lb. and a large part of her cargo thrown overboard, entirely spoiled.
“A number of American Captains went to the Judge of Admiralty, and desired him to inform them on what grounds he could possibly condemn their vessels and cargoes, after the King’s instructions to the commanders of his ships of war, dated January 8th; and after he had received incontestable proof that the Judges in all the other islands were acquitting all vessels in a similar situation to their’s, under their instructions. He answered, that he should not be governed by the conduct of Judges in other islands, and that his opinion of those instructions was, that they were intended merely to deceive the Americans, and that he should continue to condemn until he received counter orders from England.
“The attorney for all the privateersmen, who owns a number of privateers, one day observed, in presence of several Americans, that the Judge had a cause depending in court to a great amount, which was in his power to turn as he pleased; therefore he never hesitated to oblige him in his decisions.
“Captains Daigre, of Baltimore, and Smith, of Boston, whose vessels and cargoes were condemned here, being dissatisfied with the decree, moved in court for liberty to appeal therefrom, which was granted. They obtained the promise of a merchant to be their surety, as is required by law, in case of an appeal. A few days after, they desired him to appear in court, and enter into the usual stipulation for an appeal. He told them that, he was informed by his friends, that a number of the principal men had said he was too officious, in assisting the Americans, by being their surety for appeals; that their appealing would occasion dissatisfaction among the privateersmen, and if he
was surety for any more, they would take measures to stop him that could not be very agreeable to him; and, from a number of other similar circumstances, he thought it would be putting every thing at stake to comply with his promise, and hoped to be excused. Not being able to find any person who dare be their surety was deprived of the privilege of appealing.
The only ground for condemnation charged in the libel, against Capt. Smith’s vessel and cargo, is French property; whereas, the contrary appearing, another ground for condemnation not pointed out in the libel, is taken in the Judge’s Decree—to wit, coming from an island in possession of his Majesties enemies.
“In many instances the Captains and crews of the prizes immediately on their arrival have been stripped naked, their cloths ripped open in search of money, and turned out of their vessels; dispossessed of every thing, and on the most submissive request, made by them, to the Governor for prisoner’s rations, they were denied, and left to shift for a subsistence amongst a den of robbers. Had it not been for the assistance of some Americans there with cargoes for sale, they must have suffered in the streets for want of a morsel of bread, after being dispossessed of their vessels and cargoes, from two to fifteen thousand pounds each.”
Citizen VICTOR HUGHES, Commissioner deputé by the National Convention of France, to the Windward Islands, has published an address to the Republican forces at Guadalupe, in which he extols their bravery, perseverance, and most of all their humanity: While, on the other hand, he denounces the English Commanders. (the “savage Jervis” and “hypocritical Grey”) as guilty of every species of violation. After describing the forces of the British, to be six ships of the line, 12 frigates, and 8 sloops of war, with 12 battalions of troops, the Commissioner says, that these have been beaten, by one Republican battalion, two frigates, and three transports, and that while many of the British aristocrats have been made to bite the dust, not a single republican, during a combat of forty days, has been made prisoner. [From this official address, the falsity of the in urgent papers, is demonstrable, for at times they have augmented this small French armament to nine sail of the line and frigates, and from 1500 to 5000 men. It is thus, that TIME convicts them of their falsehoods.]
NEW-YORK, August 27.
The intrusion of the French in the Genoese port of Juan, of which the Hamburg papers lately received, give an account, and in consequence of which the English on the part of the allies, have demanded of the government of Genoa, immediate declaration of war against France, under penalty of being considered as enemies, will probably in the event make up for the failure of their plan of relieving Corsica. The Genoese at the period of that event, independent of their general good will to the French cause, evinced in several instances during the war, will find another strong argument for siding with the French, if side they must, in their situation as to the French forces. The southern army against Sardinia is at their doors, and a squadron of 10,000 troops in one of their ports. The accession of Genoa to the league against tyranny, will be particularly advantageous to the French, as it will give them a firm footing not far from the centre of the most populous portion of the king of Sardinia’s dominions.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.
Copy of a letter from an officer in the legion of the United States, dated Camp, twelve miles advanced of Grenville, 28th July, 1794.
"I hope by the time this reaches you that we shall be able to give a good account of the Indian war. We have about one thousand seven hundred or one thousand eight hundred Kentucky volunteers with us, and are all in good spirits. I have no doubt with due precaution (which I have no doubt will be taken) we shall be able to bring the Indians to terms. I think their friends will leave them, by what we learn from a prisoner that was taken since the action at Fort Recovery—he says they lost a great many; he knows nothing of the number—he says they quarrelled and fired upon each other. There are large bets made, that they will be in with a flag by the time we have crossed the St. Joseph, which is about four days march from this."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cincinnati, dated 31st July, 1794.
"By a prisoner (Delaware Indian) we are told considerable uneasiness has risen amongst some of the tawny tribe in consequence of the attack upon Fort Recovery, or some of the events attending the attack. The Delawares and adjacent Indians, understanding well the difficulties of such a business, were appealed to, and only gave into the measure to satisfy their very western brethren. At a critical moment of the onset, when all was fire and smoke, a few Choctaws stole out from a sally port of Fort Recovery, and being mistaken by the enemy, for friends, got into their rear, and acted comparatively, as very powerful aids to death, in his triumphs that day."
"The enemy found themselves annoyed in their rear, as a Chief amongst them, mortally wounded, declared with his dying breath, that he got his wound from a red man; and the western Indians suspect the Delawares and others."
"The British were striving to accommodate grievances—how they succeeded, the Indian prisoner could not tell. The army marched from Grenville, upon the morning of the 28th, in high health and spirits."
The following letter direct from Berlin may be considered as very important, as no channel of intelligence can be as fully depended on from that quarter as the epistolary.

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Berlin, to his friend in this city, received by the Snow, Henry and Charles from Hamburg.
BERLIN, June 24.
GREAT marks of discontent are manifested in this country, I may say throughout the whole of Germany. The people in general are very averse to the present war against France. The young men refuse every where to go to the armies—though they are in great want of reinforcements. The insurrection in Poland becomes more serious every day—there even are some rumours it has reached Silesia. Several detachments of the garrison of this city have received orders to march towards that part, among these, are the regiments of Brown and Moellendorf.
On the 16th of this month we had an affair which is perhaps but a forerunner of something very serious.—There were at a tavern some recruiters who had intoxicated some young blacksmith apprentices and journeyman, in order to enlist them. Somebody informed of the circumstance a number of their fellow tradesmen, who left their shops and collected a number of workmen in other branches—they went to the tavern where they rescued the young people from the hands of those human flesh mongers; threw out of the windows the military hats which they had put on the heads of the young men. The recruiters attempted to apologize for their conduct in saying that these young men could not pay for the liquor they had drank. Such an excuse had no effect upon the people who are acquainted with the tricks of those base villains. They were kicked out of doors, a neighbouring corps de gard sent a detachment to quell the riot, but they were very ill used by the people and obliged to retire.
On the same day and the day following, the Blacksmiths and other tradesmen paraded through the streets, in a threatening manner, and saying openly, that they would not go to the armies, and that if they were forced in any way they would do the same as the French.
I must observe to you that all the cor-
porations of tradesmen have clubs where they meet. The governor and magistrates have as yet not dared to take the least step to punish the rioters.
The Prince Henry, brother of the late King, disappeared a few days ago. No one knows where he is.
Orders are said to have been sent to withdraw the troops from the Rhine.
I will inform you of the consequence that will follow by the first opportunity.
From BREST, June 28.
"The Grand army of the North, of 160,000 men are in possession of all West-Flanders."
"The French Republic, which was in want, has been supplied abundantly, and at the expence of her enemies—almost all the provisions destined for Spain and Portugal have been intercepted—200 thousand quintals of grain from Ireland, England, and Germany, and some Americans, have entered the ports of the Republic—1200 thousand yards of different woolens from England, one half cloths for land and sea forces."
"A few days ago I was witness to the entrance of 26 sail of Dutch ships, under convoy of a Dutch frigate—the prizes made are loaded with coffee, cotton, sugar, indigo, and amount to an enormous sum."
ALBANY, Aug. 28.
The Indian account of the attack they lately made on Fort-Recovery, has been received at Niagara; and we are informed, that they state their loss, at 30 warriors killed; and that they killed of the American troops between 30 and 40, and killed and carried off 300 horses. They acknowledge they were completely foiled in their attempt of carrying the post. They speak of Gen. WAYNE, as a chief, whose prudence and caution not only prevents their making any head against him, but totally defeats every project they can invent for bringing him to an action on any terms that can promise them success.
NEW LONDON, September 4.
The ship Somerset of New-York, C. MILLER, master, from Bourdeaux, was last week taken possession of, in 14 fathoms water, off the Hook, by the British schooner Duke of York, and sent to Bermuda. Likewise, the schooner Atalanta, from this port; taken the back side of Long-Island. Some of the people of each vessel were put on board a vessel bound to Newport, and a part of them have arrived here.
BOSTON, September 10.
Mr. MUNROE, the Ambassador from the United States to the French Republic, has arrived there, in the ship Cincinnatus.
Extract of a letter from Halifax, dated Saturday noon, Aug. 23.
"As the schooner has been detained, I take the advantage offered by her detention, to forward you one of Saturday's papers, just from the press.—In addition to what I said in my last, on the improbability of an American contest, you may be assured that Admiral MURRAY, now in this port, has received positive orders from home, to treat the Americans who may fall into his hands, with the greatest lenity and respect, and to suffer none to be CAPTURED, but those undoubtedly loaded with French property, or positively carrying articles contraband de guerre to ports of the enemy. Those orders may probably assist the Americans now in this port."
The British squadron on the Halifax station, consists of the Resolution, Admiral Murray, of 74; Argonaut, 64; Africa, 64; Beaulieu, 40; Adventure, 44; Thetis, 38; L'Oiseau, ci-devant La Cleopatra, 32; Cleopatra, 32; Blanche, 32; Quebec, 32; Alarm, 32; Terrible, 32; Thistle, 28; Hussar, 28; Commodore GEORGE; Alert, 16, and Zebra, 16.
CONCORDE, PRIZE.
In announcing the occurrences of the day, on Saturday, we mentioned the capture of the schooner Success, bound from this port for Halifax. One SAMUEL ROGERS, who was a navigator of the boat, was apprehended since our last, and on Monday was examined before the Hon. Judge LOWELL; when it appeared from the testimony on oath, of SWAN and MASON, passengers on board the Success, and of the owner and Captain, that the said schooner sailed from the Narrows near George's island, between 8 and 9 o'clock, on the evening of the 3d inst. that when the schooner was about seven or 8 miles from the light house, she was fired upon by a boat;—that she was then flung into the wind, and that a person on board the boat, which proved to be ROGERS, ordered her to strike, or, by God they would
sink her: That immediately after, the boat's crew boarded, commanded by a Lieutenant of the Concorde, took possession of the schooner, and brought her back. When ROGERS was taken at Providence, a sum of money and part of the clothing Mr. SWAN was plundered of, was found in his trunk—he confessed, that he was the person who hailed the boat, that he was employed to undertake to pilot the boat in the expedition, that the boat had lain in wait behind the islands, for the schooner, and that immediately after Messrs. SWAN and MASON, were sent on board the Concorde, the Lieutenant opened the trunks, gave him the cash (32 dols.) and the clothing belonging to Mr. SWAN found upon him, called him a good republican, and requested him to be secret and not to betray him.
After the evidence was heard, the attorney of the United States moved, that ROGERS be held to bail to appear at the next Circuit Court, for trial. Mr. MORRISON appeared as Counsel for ROGERS, and objected to bail being required as the laws of the United States, defining the crimes against the laws of nations, mentioned these only of receiving commissions from foreign powers, entering, hiring or enlisting in any armed vessel, &c. as a soldier, marine, or seaman; and that, as the capacity in which ROGERS had acted was that of a pilot, he did not come within the purview of the law.
In the course of the examination, Mr. M. remarked, that the last summer, all this business was in the clouds. That at one time, people were led to suppose, that those who went a privateering, were guilty of one crime, and then of another—that finally, for want of law on which to convict them, the government was compelled to drop the prosecution.
The attorney for the United States, in reply, lamented that matter so irrelative, as the foregoing, should be introduced into the debate; but having been introduced, he could not refrain from stating the law, as it was understood the last summer, and the cases referred to. He then declared that most of the Courts of the U.S. had expressly given their opinion, that the fitting out of privateers in America, and the enlisting on board such, was unlawful—that the persons, the Counsel for the defendant alluded to, had been indicted by the grand inquest for this district—that their counsel had requested a continuance from October to June term—that on account of a want of time to try the defendants, the court continued the causes to June term—that after the jury was dismissed Mr. JUTAU's counsel complained of a difficulty, in his being bailed for what they did not consider a crime, he, the attorney for the U. S. offered, if they would confess the facts, immediately to argue the question of law, to the court, which the court was willing to hear—that Mr. JUTAU's counsel refused—that in June term, he received a letter from the Secretary of State, communicating the President's direction to enter a nolle prosequi in the cause of Mr. JUTAU, in compliance with the solicitation of Mr. FAUCHET, and because he was unwilling, as the French nation had done justice to his complaint against Mr. GENET—that a secondary, and perhaps an involuntary agent should be punished—and not willing to except the citizens of the United States, from the like favour, and in hopes that this baneful practice would be no longer continued, the same direction was given as to them. The attorney for the United States, appealed to the counsel for the defendants, who he said, was then of the counsel for JUTAU, for the truth of what he had stated—to which appeal, no reply was made. He then expressed his sorrow, that a mere act of grace by the President, should be construed, as it had been, into a sense of weakness on the part of government—and that ill intentioned men abroad, had taken advantage from this benevolence of the supreme executive, to inculcate erroneous sentiments, both as to the law and the government—and to delude their fellow-citizens into offences of the most atrocious nature.
The Hon. Judge, in a concise and perspicuous manner, disanted on the objections of the counsel for the defendant, and directed that he give bail to appear at the next Circuit-Court, himself in two thousand and two sufficient sureties of one thousand dollars each.
On Monday last, a boat was accidentally run down by a coaster, in this harbour, and two persons, who were in her drowned. We understand that one of them was a Mr. BELCHER, of Point Shirley, and the other a mulatto man belonging there.
It is a fact, that General Kosciusko has
denounced all Jacobinical proceedings in Poland: Roberpierre has lately suggested to the National Convention of France, the pernicious effects of Popular societies. Their suppression in France may therefore be expected.
MARINE NEWS.
The British frigates late in Hampton Roads, are at sea. The 6th August, the Hussar of 28, and l'Oiseau of 36 guns sailed from Halifax on a cruise.
The British homeward bound West-India fleet of 130 sail, left Bassetterre (St. Kitts) the 1st August for England, convoyed by the Vengeance of 74 guns, and 5 or 6 frigates.
The French at Point-a-Petre, Guadalupe, have fitted out four privateers, which have been cruising.—Two of them are said to have been captured by the Bull-dog sloop of war.

The brig King George from St. Eustatia, has been taken by the Industry, of 14 guns, bound for Charleston.
On the 10th Aug. Capt. Rust, of Salem, was spoken in the Bite of Leogane—all well.
As we have already mentioned, a violent hurricane was experienced in the West-Indies the 4th August. The particulars of the damage done we have not learnt. Many vessels were forced to sea, and have returned much injured, and some gone on shore. At St. Croix though it blew hard, no damage was done the shipping. Twenty Americans are said to have gone on shore.
Arrived, schooner Polly, Capt. Billings, from Leogane, 24 days.—Sept. 4. 30 leagues E. of Cape-Cod, spoke the Boston Packet, of Nantucket, bound round Cape-Horn, the master of which generously favoured Capt. B. with sundry articles he stood in need of. Sept. 5, 15 leagues E. of Cape-Cod, spoke the Schooner Raccoon, William Clark, bound to Berbice. Left at Leogane, Capt. Skinner, of Baltimore, Capt. Pendleton of Charleston; and Capt. Olmore, of Salem, who were driven out by the hurricane on the 5th Aug. but were beating back.
In lat. 24, 50. long. 73, 30, was spoke the sloop Hannah, Joseph Crocker, master, who informed, that he belonged to Boston and was bound for New-Providence; But that on the 17th ult. in lat. 32, long. 72, 30, he was taken by a French privateer, and ordered to Port-au-Paix.
On Sunday last arrived in the snow Pallas, Capt. Barker, the passengers and crew of the snow Brothers, of Philadelphia, John Baptiste Smith, master, about thirty in number. The Brothers was bound from London for Baltimore, and had arrived in long. 70, when she was brought too by the Sans Pareil, French privateer, which has usually rendezvoused at Charleston. Capt. Smith shewed his papers, which had before been examined by different French frigates, and acknowledged good; but the commander of the Sans Pareil ordered a Prize-master on board, and took the above mentioned crew and passengers on board his vessel, treating them with every indignity—and plundering without discrimination, Americans and Englishmen; and the next day put them on board Capt. Barker. A Mrs. CAEROL, lady of the Member of Congress of that name, was among the passengers, and had 19 guineas forcibly taken from her hand. The Capt. of the privateer, said he should send the vessel to the West-Indies, but it is rather suspected she will be sent to Charleston.
Arrived at New-London, sloop prosperity, Capt. Benjamin, from Essequebo, 27 days.—Left there, brig Resolution of Portsmouth, schooner Harmony, schooner, Willing-Maid, Freeman; schooner Peter, Ogleby, and schooner Davidon, all of Boston; schooner Hope, Crouch, of Newbury-Port, (deceased.)

M. same day, discovered a boat in distress, bore away for her, and with much difficulty got her along side, and took out 12 men, and a negro boy. These people had been in a vessel going from Martinico, to Dominico, and sunk, Aug. 3, at 11 P. M. about one third of the distance from Martinico. One lad sunk in the vessel; the rest were landed in Dominico, Aug. 5. Saw two or three sail ashore at Dominico, and not a vessel at anchor in the road. Admiral Jervis, was at Fort Royal, in the hurricane.
Sept. 1. We learn from Charleston, South-Carolina, that Captain EARL, in one of the shaving mills from that city, has taken five prizes, Spanish.
Providence, Sept. 4.
Thursday last Captain Coates arrived here in 36 days from Jamaica. On his passage, he took from the Dolphin's head (a dangerous reef off Cuba) the crew of the ship Sophia, Capt. Goldstream, from Jamaica, bound for London, 16 in number—also a Lady, Mrs. Reaves, of London, a passenger. The Sophia had been wrecked about 24 hours when he first saw her, vessel and cargo lost. On the 8th inst. he put the Captain, Lady and 6 others, on board the ship Emerald, bound for London—off the Savannah, 4 more of the Sophia's crew took her Longboat and went ashore—the remaining 5 were brought in here. A tribute of praise is due to Capt. Coates, for the exertions he made to save these distressed people; he spent 5 days in getting them on board, and the weather being bad, his sails were split to pieces in effecting it.

Important State Paper.
AUTHENTIC.
Mr. RANDOLPH's Letter.
Philadelphia, September 1, 1794.
Sir, IF after the information, upon which my letter of the 20th of May, 1794, was founded, any considerable doubt had remained of Governor Simcoe's invasion, your long silence, without a refutation of it, and our more recent intelligence forbid us to question its truth. It is supported by the respectable opinions, which have been since transmitted to the executive, that in the late attack on Fort Recovery, British officers and British soldiers were, on the very ground, aiding our Indian enemies.
But, Sir, as if the Governor of Upper Canada was resolved to destroy every possibility of disbelieving his hostile views, he has sent to the Great Sodus, a settlement begun on a bay of the same name, on Lake Ontario—a command to Captain Williamson, who derives a title from the State of New-York, to desist from his enterprize. This mandate was borne by Lieut. Sheaffe, under a military escort; and in its tone corresponds with the form of its delivery, being unequivocally of a military and hostile nature.
"I am commanded to declare that during the inexecution of the treaty of peace between G. B. and the U. S. and until the existing differences respecting it, shall be mutually and finally adjusted, the taking possession of any part of the Indian territory, either for the purposes of war or sovereignty, is held to be a direct violation of his Britannic Majesty's rights, as they unquestionably existed before the treaty, and has an immediate tendency to interrupt, and in its progress to destroy, that good understanding which has hitherto subsisted between his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America. I therefore require you to desist from any such aggression. R. H. Sheaffe, Lieut. 5th Regt. and Qr. Master Gen. Dept. of his Britannic Majesty's service. G. Sodus, 16th August, 1794."
Captain Williamson being from home, a letter was written to him by Lieutenant Sheaffe, in the following words:
"Sodus, 16th August, 1794."
"Sir, Having a special commission and instruction for that purpose from the Lieutenant Governor of his Britannic Majesty's Province of Upper Canada, I have come here to demand by what authority an establishment has been ordered at this place, and to require that such a design be immediately relinquished, for the reasons stated in the written declaration accompanying this letter; for the receipt of which protest I have taken the acknowledgment of your agent Mr. Little. I regret exceedingly in my private as well as public character that I have not the satisfaction of seeing you here, but I hope on my return, which will be about a week hence to be more fortunate. I am, Sir, your most obed't. servt. R. H. Sheaffe, Lt. 5th Regt. Q. M. G. D."
The position of Sodus is represented to be seventy miles within the territorial line of the United States—about twenty from Oswego, and about one hundred from Niagara.
For the present, all causes of discontent, not connected with our western territory, shall be laid aside; and even among these, shall not be revived the root of our complaints, the detention of the posts. But while peace is sought by us through every channel, which honor permits, the Governor of Upper Canada is accumulating irritation upon irritation. He commenced his operations of enmity at the rapids of Miami. He next associated British with Indian force to assault our fort. He now threatens us if we fell our own trees and build houses on our own lands. To what length may not Governor Simcoe go? Where is the limit of the sentiment which gave birth to these intrusions? Where is the limit of the principle which Governor Simcoe avows."
The treaty and all its appendages we have submitted to fair discussion, more than two years ago. To the letter of my predecessor on the 20th of May 1792 you have not been pleased to make a reply; except that on the 20th of June 1793, the 22d of November 1793, and the 21st of February 1794, no instructions had arrived from your court. To say the best of this suspension, it certainly cannot war-
rant any new encroachments, however it may recommend to us forbearance under the old.
It is not for the Governors of his Britannic Majesty, to interfere with the measures of the United States towards the Indians within their territory. You cannot, Sir, be insensible that it has grown into a maxim, that the affairs of the Indians within the boundaries of any nation exclusively belong to that nation. But Governor Simcoe disregarding this right of the United States, extends the line of usurpation, in which he marches, by referring to the ancient and extinguished rights of his Britannic Majesty. For, if the existing condition of the treaty keeps them alive on the southern side of Lake Ontario, the Ohio itself will not stop the career.
You will pardon me, Sir, if under these excesses of Governor Simcoe I am not discouraged by your having formerly disclaimed a controul over, and a responsibility for, the governors of his Britannic Majesty, from resorting to you on this occasion. You are addressed from a hope, that if he will not be restrained by our remonstrances, he may at least be apprized, thro' you, of the consequences of self defence
I have the honor, Sir, to be With great respect Your most obedient servant, EDM. RANDOLPH. Mr. Hammond, Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty.
Mr. HAMMOND's Answer.
New-York, Sept. 3, 1794.
Sir, I this day received your letter of the 1st current, copies of which I will transmit, by the earliest opportunities that may occur, to Lieut. Gov. Simcoe, and to his Majesty's Ministers in England.
I have the honor to be, With the greatest respect, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, G. HAMMOND. The Secretary of State.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1. The ship Gustavus Adolphus, sailed from Cadiz the 17th July, but brings nothing new from the Continent. The American vessels were secure from the Algerines, as a Portuguese Squadron were at the mouth of the Straits, sufficiently strong to prevent their entering the Atlantic: A 64, and a sloop of war belonging to Montague's Squadron, which were chased by the French fleet, were just arrived at Cadiz.
Lord Howe, with 20 sail of the line, was to sail about the 12th of July.
September 7.
Yesterday evening arrived here the ship Columbia, Capt. Maley, from Amsterdam, which place he left the 5th of July. The 6th at ten A. M. off Ostend he heard a heavy cannonading, and saw several English ships of war, lying in the road and battering the town. The cannonading continued without any intermission for 25 hours, viz. till eleven next day. By this time Capt. Maley was near enough to Dunkirk to see the steeples. The 8th do. off Eddystone, he saw about sixty-four sail of English merchant-men, under convoy of 14 sail of men of war, steering for Spithead. Aug. 25th in lat. 39. 57. long. 69. 46. spoke the brig—Capt. Grace of Marblehead, from New-York bound to Bilboa, out 32 hours. He left at Amsterdam about 32 sail of Americans, among which are Capt. Elliot of Philadelphia, Capt. Wales of Boston, Captain Barnes do. Capt. Roberdo, of Newbury-port, and Capt. Sargent of Cape Ann: the ship Augusta of New-York sailed from Amsterdam on third of July, bound for Georgia, having on board a number of gentlemen passengers.
BOSTON, Sept. 13.
The Envoy from his Catholic Majesty to the United States, has advertised, that certificates which are required in order to an uninterrupted commerce with Spain, and her colonies, will be given (gratis) at the principal towns in the United States. In this town, Nathan Spear, Esq. has the distribution of them.
The last intelligence from New-Haven, is more favourable than that inserted in our last. The fever abates, and confidence is restoring.
Arrived at Falmouth (England) the good ship Minerva, JAMES SCOTT, Commander, after a passage of 26 days from this port.
September 15.
From the CHRONICLE.
SUMMARY.
Scarcely a syllable of Foreign Intelligence have we received since our last publication. Our latest accounts are from Rotterdam; they left the French army, as was there believed, nearly, if not quite in possession of Sluys, the first town in their way to Amsterdam, belonging to the Dutch.
By a Schooner arrived here from Lisbon, as late as the 20th July, we learn, that two French armies had penetrated into Spain, one by the way of Navarre, the other by Catalonia. It was said that Barcelona, the capital of that Province, must fall into their hands—This account we have great reason to believe; but as to peace, there is not the least prospect of it.
From Philadelphia, Sept. 8.
Yesterday dispatches were received from the Commissioners at Pittsburgh—We hear that the information is in substance—That forty-seven only of the Committee of Sixty, voted in favour of acceding to the propositions. This is considered as an unfavorable result of the business. We learn that the Commissioners are on their return.
From New-York, Sept. 10.
We learn, that several official letters have passed within a week, between the President of the United States and the Governor of this State.—Conjecture, ever alive, is busy on this subject; she now suggests, that the militia of this State is to be called out immediately, to repel invasions.
The following paragraph is copied from a London paper, July 4.
It has been said, that Mr. Jay is going to Paris to negotiate a peace with the Jacobins. However desirable such a negotiation would be! However advantageous a peace, could it be obtained by any auspices, we fear there is little chance of Mr. Jay's undertaking such a mission. The Americans, in their appointment of this gentleman to England, have acted with the same exemplary moderation that they have manifested throughout. To shew at once their confidence in the justice of the claims they had to prefer, and their desire of preserving a good understanding with England, they nominated to the office of Envoy Extraordinary, the man of all others who had shewn the greatest predilection for England, and the greatest abhorrence of the new maxims of France. This character, though it peculiarly fits him to be the Minister to negotiate with the English Court, would not be equally calculated for the meridian of Paris.
Notwithstanding the formidable accounts we have had published in our papers respecting the troubles at Pittsburgh, it seems that they have been easily settled, without recourse to the sword. The sanguinary disposition of some writers in the courtly papers, has been fully manifested, and must convince the citizens in general, that this class of people are disposed to plunge this country in a civil war, on the least prospect of a failure of the interest on their funds, tho' at the same time are for submitting to every imposition of the British, as it respects the property of the merchant and farmer.
The Centinel would do well to publish the lengthy report of the Secretary of the Treasury, (if his paper can contain it) on the troubles at Pittsburgh, as from that pompous account it is no doubt the system of a Standing Army was contemplated by those who are desirous to bring forward as early as possible this favorite measure. If they could annihilate Republican Societies and establish a Standing Army, the remaining part of their designs could be easily accomplished.
The prudence and discretion of the President, and the Governor of Pennsylvania, have happily terminated a controversy, which if it had been left to some writers, would by this time have involved his country in a civil war.
SALEM, September 9.
Capt. Blackler, of Marblehead, arrived on Saturday, from Jeremie. There was a violent hurricane at that place on the 6th of August, in which 5 American, and 3 Spanish vessels were driven ashore and lost; among the former was one belonging to this port, commanded by Capt. Seward Lee, of Beverly.—Two days before the hurricane, Capt. Lee, died of the Yellow Fever, and soon after, two of his men. Capt. William Dennis, of Marblehead, and two of his men, and two of Capt. Blackler's men, died there of the same disorder, which raged to a very mortal degree.
PORTSMOUTH, Sept. 16.
The following very important commercial law case was lately determined at Philadelphia, at the Court of Common Pleas, before the hon. Judge Biddle and a special jury appointed to try it; as it regards every gentleman in trade it is of consequence to be known to all such, as being a matter long established by the courts of law for the safety of the commercial part of the community at large.
CANBY versus KING.
A note of hand for 126 dollars and 50 cts drawn by one Hageneau, indorsed by Melbeck and R. Bollen, in favour of one King, King fills the note with his indorsements to Canby for flour, and sails for the West-Indies; Hageneau does not pay the note at the time agreed on, Canby applies for payment several times but Hageneau is not to be found, and in a month or six weeks he stopped payment, then Canby applies to Bollen one of the indorsers, who says he will have nothing to do with it: shortly after King returns from the West-Indies, and Canby applies to him for payment, which he refused; because Canby did not give notice at his house, of the note not being paid in season, which if he had done, he could have come back upon the indorsers, as well as the drawer, who had become insolvent. After a candid and learned discussion of the subject, the Judge and Jury were unanimously of opinion, that if the holder of a bill of exchange neglects to give timely notice to the drawers and indorsers of a protested bill; the holding such bill over any length of time, beyond its protest, is at his own risque, because it may deprive the indorsers of getting security before the drawer became insolvent and so Canby lost his money.—very justly too.

An Elogy on the Court of Sessions
Written in the Court-House.  WEEP, O ye friends of litigation, weep— All who in mad confusion here resort, Who ne'er permit your wrangling souls to sleep But love the ruptures of a noisy court: And first ye swarms of peace-commanding squires By whatsoever names or titles known, Put on your mourning (so the day requires) And join to heave the grief-created groan. For now no more the staid term shall come, When gathering Squirehips meet with hoary pride To tell how many eyes, made red with rum, Or black with boxing; by themselves were tried. To tell how many love-inspiring tricks Have in close confab been by them disclosed— That to the weaknels of the weaker sex May to the gaping croud be now expos'd. And O! ye frail ones, who by nature led, And the soft whispers of your sweet-hearts dear; Have lov'd too well the pleasing paths you tread; Here mourn your loss, and drop the expressive tear. For now no more each sex rewarding squire, With solemn phiz—shall mount the Justice seat To view the squalling babe, then fix the fire, Who from their honors brows, can read his fate. Mourn then ye damsels with uncommon grief, Nor check the currents of the bursting tide, But bring for safety, many a handkerchief To wipe the various streams of grief aside. For now alas, the mournful time is come, When all your hopes of future justice flies; Hear it ye votaries both of love, and rum, For lo, this week the Court of Sessions—DIES.
