PORTSMOUTH: Printed by JOHN MELCHER, Printer to the Hon. GENERAL COURT of the State of New Hampshire, at his Office in Market-Street, at nine shillings per Annum.
From a London PAPER. Character of Louis XVI.
OF the conditions of human life condemned to prove the fickleness of power and the changes of opinion. Royalty is conspicuous for misfortune commensurate with its eminence. The personal qualities of the man influence but little; his will is frequently a sacrifice to inevitable necessity; he gives a sanction to measures adverse to his feelings; and his name is venerated for good, and execrated for evil, of which he neither conceived the design, nor promoted the execution.
There is in man a depravity which makes him yield as readily to formidable tyranny, as it induces him to oppose benevolent weakness: He is led on by power, and a successful usurper soon reconciles him to servility of obedience.
Such are the reflections which force themselves upon the mind of him who considers the life and miserable end of Louis XVI. Of the events which have conspired to drive him to his fate, men are sufficiently informed to preclude any necessity of our alluding to them. They have seen the excesses of a divine principle generate enthusiasm marked by the most infernal fury; they have beheld the sacred flame of liberty conflagrating its best props, and frenzy demolishing the fane devoted to freedom.
Before the energies of general delirium no single wisdom can stand: Let it not therefore be imputed to weakness in Louis that he has fallen, where perhaps none could have stood firm. If he had been less just, he might have been less unfortunate.
Much is said of the education of princes; they are asserted to be surrounded by sycophants: And the first axiom they learn is, that the condition of a sovereign is forever to be friendless; his smiles or his frowns either generate ingratitude, or provoke hatred. The present prince, if he was sufficiently armed to distrust all parties, at least strove not to excite disgust in any. His reign before the revolution was marked by no repelling haughtiness, nor inflexible pertinacity; appearing always to mean well, he welcomed alike the counsels that were conducive to his object, come they from whom they might.
With all the claims of youthful accomplishment, one of the handsomest men of his age, and certainly no mean proficient in knowledge, other than what a court usually supplies, Louis XVI. found himself upon a throne, which had been alike disgraced by the insulting pomp of ambition, and the disgusting artifices of intrigue. Where the courtisans of his ancestors had planted the poisonous weeds of licentiousness, he was to tread with a mind eager after purity, and hoping by virtue to become adored. That it might be no repulsive austere purity which he practiced, he led to the throne the then happy possessor of every female grace that might beam from the sun of beauty, the benign radiance that makes lovely what it cheers. If rational hopes of happiness result from good conduct, those hopes, in their plenitude, were his. He offered to the virtuous an example, and to the vicious a living reproach.
But the nation which profligacy had impoverished, and which tyranny had stained by oppressions, whose very remembrance, not experience, could agitate the whole empire to its centre, was in a state that defied the resources of finances; it became necessary to call the people together. Opinions favorable to freedom had secretly been gaining on the multitude. Those who had served in America could not avoid drawing comparisons between the mild condition they had assisted her to spurn, and the intollerable slavery they persuaded themselves to sustain. From furnishing a remedy to the paralysis of the state, they began to revolve how they might emancipate the people. They were in the presence of a monarch who disdained the exercise of powers formerly exerted to bend the ob-
duration, and overpower the refractory—he yielded to wishes that he knew to be just, and which he trusted would be propitious.
In the generous spirit of concession he disregarded, or was not sufficiently aware of the proper bounds to his authority. He suffered infraction, until check became fruitless:—He yielded to enthusiasm which he could not restrain, and trusted to time to remedy the convulsions of overheated Zeal. He reasoned rightly as a Philosopher, but wrongly as a Politician. He adverted not to the store of fuel that would be piled to keep the blaze of Revolution up. He could not anticipate the crowd of artifices by which designing men continually inflamed, congregated and directed the People. The Bastille, "the abode of broken hearts," was in being, and the reproaches of his subjects, undeservedly, were hurled upon the living sovereign, or smote him by a sort of recoil from the dead. What they should have ascribed to the bad policy of times past, they attributed to the vices of the throne, and deeming the situation prolific only of evil, they began to hate the order of beings stiled Kings, as the pests of the earth.
Then they, who, profligate and mean, had solicited in vain of Kings the means of prodigality, became avowedly enemies; every anecdote which Regal Biography could afford of crime or folly, was selected with avidity—
"Sai in a Note Book, learn'd and conn'd by To cast into their teeth."
From Monarchy, thus attempted to be rendered hateful, the people were persuaded no good ever could or ever did flow—the Royal Power became extinct, his troops were infected, the great mass of his People were alienated from him. The result of all has been his death. A survey of the characters who surrounded him, as they developed themselves by their actions and speeches, had long since taught every thinking man to anticipate the Royal Massacre.
A remark has been made above, that if Louis XVI. had been less just he might have been less unfortunate—It is confirmed by every view of the subject.—If to any party he had given himself up, he might have lived the Nominal Ruler of a land governed by a Faction.
The unhappy Louis was, like a Prince whose reign is honored by the happy test of popular veneration, a model of private virtue. No one inordinate excess can be recorded of him: Like our own Charles, he might conjure his offspring to say to the wife of his bosom, "that even in thought he had never wronged her." Religion, it is well known, infused a fortitude into his breast, that all the infolence of little villany could not discompose. His deportment upon his trial was dignified and firm. For his family, as a man, it became him to feel; but suffering a Martyrdom, he expired as a Martyr; his thoughts were beyond himself.
From the above, if it be faithful at all to the feelings which produced it, the most awful reflection will naturally sink deep into the heart; and the man will be the better, who, wiping away the tear for the sufferings of a Monarch, shall contemplate, with solemn wonder, the mysterious dispensations of Providence, and the dreadful incertitude of human affairs.

ST. JOHN'S, May 2. The fleet from England under Admiral Gardner, arrived at Barbadoes on Friday—the Merchantmen and transports did not accompany them.
The following are the ships that compose Admiral Gardner's Squadron.     Ships. Guns. Commanders.     Queen 98 Adm. Gardner, Capt. Hutt.   Duke 98 Com. Murray, Capt. Duff.   Monarch 74 Capt. Sir J. Wallace.   Orin 74 J. T. Duckworth.   Hector 74 G. Montague.   Hanibal 74 Colpoys.   Culloden 74 Sir Thomas Rich   Iphigenia 32 Sinclair.   Heroine 32 Allan H. Gardner.   Rattlefnake 16 Alexander Mouat.  
It is generally believed at Dominica, that the French fleet is arrived at Martinique—This is grounded upon the inhabitants to the eastward of the former island hearing repeated firing of cannon on Saturday last at the latter. The Admirals at Barbadoes will have early intimation of it, as the Berbice left Dominica on Sunday for Barbadoes intending in her way to look into Port Royal.
A Proclamation.
WHEREAS it is judged expedient, in the present circumstances of the country, to allow the admission of provisions into the different ports within this government: I have therefore thought fit, by and with the advice and consent of his Majesty's Honorable Council, to issue this my Proclamation, allowing and permitting, and I do hereby allow and permit the importation for six months, computing from the day of the date hereof, into the port of Nassau, Exuma, and Turk's Islands, as well in foreign as British bottoms, the following species of provisions, viz. corn and all sorts of grain and pulse, flour and bread, rice, and every species of salted provisions, cattle and live stock of all kinds; of which the officers of His Majesty's customs and all whom it may concern, are to take due notice, and govern themselves accordingly.
GIVEN under my hand and Seal of the said Islands, at Nassau, (New-Providence) the 11th day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety three, and in the thirty-third year of his Majesty's Reign. (Signed) DUNMORE.
CHARLESTON, (S. C.) May 2. By the sloop Two Sisters, Capt. Pindar, we have received the following information:
The British sloop of war Serpent, Capt. Lee, arrived at Nassau on the 19th of April, from Jamaica, and brought dispatches from Lord Dunmore, which authorized him to grant letters of marque and reprisal against the vessels and property of the French.
It was reported at Nassau that advice had been transmitted to the several British consuls residing in the American ports, that all American vessels, which were found going into French ports, laden with provisions or warlike stores, would be liable to seizure. Three were stopped by the Serpent, and very strictly searched.
In Jamaica they are vigorously employed in fitting out privateers. A shallop with 12 muskets had sent three prizes into Port-Royal.
Twelve or fourteen privateers were expected to be ready to sail for Nassau in a few days; three of which intend to cruise off the Carolina coast. A frigate was hourly expected to arrive there from England.
BALTIMORE, May 17. The latest European advices further inform, that the discontents of the polish nobility, in Provinces bordering on Turkey, were so much increased, that an alarming insurrection was daily expected; that the division of the kingdom of Poland was reduced to a certainty; that Austrian troops had entered that Country, and taken possession of Warsaw, Cracow, and the palatinates of Chelm and Lubin, and had, on their entrance, published a manifest, similar to that of his Prussian Majesty.
PHILADELPHIA, May 22. A prize schooner is carried into Norfolk, taken by a French cruiser off the Capes of Chesapeake. She was from Providence (Bahama) and besides the cargo, had on board 2000 dollars in specie. Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Antigua to his correspondent in this city, dated May 2.
"I believe there never was a time, when war with France was carried on
more willingly, and with more cordial hatred than it is at present. The state of anarchy and confusion, which prevail in France, inclines us rather to submit to a stretch of regular government, than subject ourselves to the same miseries. The neighbouring French islands present, almost to our eyes, the dreadful proof of the effects of a mob government. No person can depend upon his life or his property for a moment. The system of Egalite is so much favored there by the present rulers, that the old and respectable inhabitants are obliged to mount guard frequently, under the command of Negro or Mulatto officers; and the free people of color, as may be naturally expected from them, take every opportunity of making those who are white, feel the force of the equalizing system. A few days ago, several of the principal inhabitants, a Mr. Vandercourt, Rouelle, Vermont and others, with their wives and children, were butchered in a manner too horrible to be mentioned. We therefore suppose, that by far the greater part of the inhabitants will receive the English troops as their preservers. Seven sail of the line—2 of 90, and 5 of 64 guns, are arrived at Barbadoes—but the transports with the troops and merchant ships, were under convoy of the other men of war. It is said also, that the French have had a reinforcement of five sail of the line. If that be true, I suppose there will soon be an important action. The island of Tobago was taken upon the 15th of the last month, in a spirited manner, by Gen. Guyler, who, in a few hours after he landed, stormed and carried the principal fortress. This action does him credit as his force was very little superior to the French, and most of his troops had never before seen any service.
"The present commerce of the French in these seas is so insignificant, that we hardly perceive we are at war in this island, except by the advanced price of every necessary. The council and assembly, at their last meeting, resolved to petition the Parliament for the admission of American vessels during the war, and in this application, all the other islands will undoubtedly join: But we know not what success it will meet with. Our ports are open from the neutral islands, until the 30th of August; and I have no doubt but that this measure will be continued. The little island of St. Bartholomew has had such an increase of vessels since the commencement of the war, that our privateers have taken the liberty of bringing many of them in here for judgment. Indeed, every instance I have seen, has been so barefaced, that they must have supposed them British idiots indeed, to have passed them. We all hope most earnestly, that America will take no unfriendly part against us in the present war. The American flag, when carried on board a real American vessel, will be treated with every respect; and it is impossible, but that they must reap vast advantage by remaining neutre in this contest; and we flatter ourselves that none of the American States will permit their papers to be used as a mask for the property of either party. I see nothing but this circumstance which is likely to create any cause of dispute; for I can hardly suppose, that the United States will voluntarily enter into the war, under the pretence of any treaty made with the late unfortunate Louis.
"I mentioned in my last, a dispute between the merchants and planters respecting the price of rum; but the planters have at last prevailed; and it now sells for 4s. the gallon. The price is not less in any of the English islands; and it is thought this will not be a losing price in Great-Britain. We make a good crop, about 22000 hogsheads of sugar, which I think in general is very good: But the sale of it here is very slow; for some late failures in London have made the planters unwilling to take any bills."
MAY 25. A correspondent informs us that Mr. Henry Voight, an ingenious clock and watch maker in this city, and one of the officers in the mint of the United States, has discovered the method of making steel from iron, which exceeds the generality of any imported cast steel, when manufactured into knives, razors, &c. It is said that Mr. Voight intends communicating this discovery gratis to all the blacksmiths and others interested in iron and steel manufactures, which may prove a considerable saving to the United States, in the importation of this necessary article; as it will then be in the power of every blacksmith to make his own steel. The brig Nymph left Port-au-Prince the 11th instant, at which time there were no accounts received from France of Dumourier's defection.
By a gentleman who arrived here in 24 days from Port-au-Prince, we are informed of the troubles which happened there last month. Our informant relates, that Mr. Santbonax, the national civil commissioner, arrived there in the America, of 74 guns, with two large frigates, on the 4th of April; that he issued a thundering proclamation against the inhabitants, whom he branded with the term of Counter-revolutionists, and imputed to them the cause of the insurrections of the blacks; that during the 5th and 6th, the disputes ran high between the aristocrats and the democrats; that on the 7th the national commissioners gave orders to the captains and commanders of the American and French merchantmen to quit the port, and to retire out of the reach of the artillery, and get under the protection of the ships of war. The captains drew up and signed a pathetic memorial, and presented the same to the commissioners, remonstrating against the approaching destruction of the town; they were, however, obliged to comply, and retired out of the reach of cannon shot, during the 10th and 11th. On the 12th, at nine o'clock in the morning, the ship America commenced a most dreadful cannonade against Fort St. Clair; at the same time the frigates began to bombard the town, and continued that dreadful work until the afternoon.—The Forts St. Joseph St. Clair, and another, returned the fire with desperate intrepidity. It is computed that these three ships discharged about 8500 balls against the town and forts. The old men, women and children ran in different directions to meet death; 73 of these were killed on the spot. A cart loaded with powder blew up in one of the forts, by which accident 8 persons lost their lives. Towards the close of the day Mr. Borell, a leading man in the town, made his escape with 300 white men, and 100 blacks, to Jacmel. The commissioners took possession, and have since been organizing the troops, and imprisoning the disaffected, 300 of whom are now in jail there.
NEW-YORK, May 22.
Extract of a letter from St. John's (Antigua) dated May 22.
"A few days ago several rich and respectable inhabitants were butchered at Guadalupe in a manner too horrible to mention, which even the most cruel savage would have been ashamed of. The following are the names of the unfortunate—Madame Vermont the elder; Madame Vermont the younger, and two children; Madame Meyencourt; Madame Rouppelle the elder; Madame Rouppelle the younger; an infant child; the two Messrs. Rouppelle, Monsieur Goudreaux, three daughters just arrived from France, from 11 to 18 years of age. Monsieur Brindeau; Madame Brindeau. Messrs. Vaudrecoart and Buelle.
WINDHAM, May 18.
Mr. John Fuller, of Willington, has this present season, begun and completed the setting out of 1200 rock or sugar maples, on his farm, at the distance of 15 feet from tree to tree, all in handsome order, and on a moist side-hill. Should the laudable example be followed by the farmers in general throughout this state, no doubt we may in a short time, be able to bid defiance to the West-India planters to extort either money or provisions from us for their sugars.
BOSTON, May 29.
Dumourier's Defection.
FROM SALEM YESTERDAY.
Capt. John Tucker, arrived at this port on Monday last, from Cape-Francois. A paper which he brings, informs of the arrival at that place, on the 7th May, of the frigate Concord, which sailed from Brest the 9th of April, and brought the citizen Galbauld, Governor-General of the Windward-Islands, and several subordinate Officers. These officers were received, and introduced to their respective offices, with much respect and ceremony, and under the loudest acclamations of the citizens.
The frigate brought an account of Dumourier's having quitted the army, after having written to the Convention, that he thought the public good required it, on account of his numerous enemies at home; that proclamations were out for apprehending him; and that many of the French troops had deserted; but that, notwithstanding this defection, things went on successfully, and the conquest of Holland was still expected. It does not therefore appear, that Dumourier marched to Paris on the 2d of April, to restore the monarchy.
FROM PHILADELPHIA, May 21.
This day arrived Capt. Cockran, from Cape-Francois, which he left April 9th. He, and his passengers, inform,
That Dumourier really went over to the Austrians some time in the beginning of April. He tampered first with the old Commissioners to Belgia, informed them that he now found Frenchmen unmanageable under a republic, and that they required all the rigour of monarchical energy to keep them in a proper degree of subordination. He next communicated his change of sentiment to the Convention by letter, (who probably received the information from the commissioners as soon at least) and explicitly declared to them that France must have a King.
The passengers in the Sally do not appear acquainted with the circumstance of Commissioners being dispatched by the Convention to apprehend him; but mention, that Bournonville was sent off to take the command of the army.
Dumourier, they say, before he quitted his post, made known his sentiments to his army, particularly to a body of about 12,000 most attached to him. These latter hesitated a moment whether they should join him, but at last determined to remain firm. His etat-major, some passengers affirm, others mention, that a great number of officers accompanied him in his disgraceful flight.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cape-Francois, May 8.
"We hear from France that Dumourier has quitted his army in Brabant, having been seduced by dint of gold; luckily his flight has not been attended with any evil consequence."
A gentleman who came passenger in the Sally, informs that there was not a man in the French army found base enough to accompany Gen. Dumourier, when deserting the cause of liberty and his country.
[A number of observations and conjectures are made on the conduct of this General, in the Philadelphia papers. They admit the fact to be corroborated from London and Amsterdam—impute his treachery rather to Austrian money, than to a change of sentiment—and handle his character in a very severe manner. Every reader can make his conjectures as well as they. Our readers will see that the Salem and Philadelphia accounts, do not agree respecting the defections.]
Battle Near Antwerp.
By an arrival at Philadelphia, from Amsterdam, we are favoured with the following extract of a letter from Brussels, dated April 1st.
"The French are continuing to retreat; still pressed by the numerous body of Austrian horse, which follow them. The Archduke Charles is at Mons, his van-guard, at Frameries. On the 29th, the Imperial troops entered at Ghent, which the French have entirely evacuated, leaving there some considerable stores. On the 29th March, there was an engagement near Antwerp, between a body of French troops and an Austrian division. The battle was long and bloody, and was maintained on both sides with the greatest intrepidity—but the French superior in number, forced the Austrians to retire, and took several prisoners."
Capture of St. Peters.
On Monday arrived here the brig Two Brothers, Capt. Roffe, from St. Peters. The Commander informs us, That on the 14th inst. a British armament of two frigates, two sloops of war, and a transport, arrived off St. Peter's, (Newfoundland) and immediately made preparations for landing the marines and troops; who, meeting with no resistance, took possession of the Island: That on the landing of the troops, Capt. Roffe, cut his cables, and slipped to sea: And that there was one American vessel there, a schooner of this port, Capt. Barker, and about 20 French fishing-vessels. The British squadron was commanded by Commodore Affleck—the troops by Gen. Ogilvie.
MAY 31.
The London Chronicle of April 4, says—From Amsterdam they write that an additional duty has taken place of one half per cent. ad valorem on all goods exported from the United Netherlands to the United States of America; and one per cent. on all goods imported into the United Netherlands from the United States.

Foreign Intelligence.
The following important advices were brought by the brig Orange, Captain Sampson, arrived at New-York, in 42 days from Bristol.
BRUSSELS, March 31. Letter from His Excellency Gen. Clair-fait, at Mons, to Conte Starenberg, Imperial Minister at the Hague, dated Tourney, April 3, 1793.
"I lose not a moment in communicating to your Excellency what M. Dumourier has just written to me, when he sent to our camp eight or nine prisoners, this morning, four of whom with General Bournonville, he says, were specially commissioned by the National Convention to arrest and conduct him a prisoner to their bar, and, on any resistance on the part of Dumourier, to have him assassinated on the road: "But," adds the writer, "I have been before hand with them, in securing those Commissioners and their deputies as my prisoners."—These he has sent under a strong escort to the Prince de Cobourg, after having put seals on all their papers, &c."
"M. Dumourier transmitted me at the same time a list of the prisoners, and concludes by saying, that he was that instant about to move with the trusty part of his army, in order to destroy those who may further oppose themselves to the public good of France, and to give to that distracted kingdom permanent peace and tranquility."
I have the honor to be, &c. &c. CLAIRFAIT.
COLOGNE, April 2.
We are this instant informed that Custine having marched from Mentz on the 1st instant, to retake Oppenheim, the two wings of the Prussian army cut off his retreat, and he was entirely surrounded with all his army; it was supposed that he could not escape.
Every thing is ready for the bombardment of Mentz and Cassel, and if the garrisons do not surrender, they will be entirely destroyed.
PARIS, March 25.
There are letters received from Poland, by yesterday's Dutch mail, and confirm the report of a partition of this kingdom, whose alienated territories will be incorporated with the dominions of Prussia, and Russia, in less than six weeks. The Polish army is to be reduced to 16,000 men, and the King's journey to Grodno, is, to sign the cession of his domains.
APRIL 3.
By some, Dumourier is accused as a traitor; and as having acted all along with views hostile to this country: By others, his conduct is justified upon the ground of necessity, and represented as the only resource which his present situation allowed. He has been publicly threatened with assassination. In the club of Cordeliers, it was resolved on the 26th March, that he and the other commanders of the army should be brought to Paris, in order to be tried, "and if (cried some of those present) they escape the tribunal, they shall not escape us."
Orders of arrest are issued against Madame Sillery, Egalite, Lady Fitzgerald; against Valence, Egalite the younger, Montjoye and others, who are officers under the command of Dumourier.
LONDON, April 9.
It is believed that the majority of the people of France are weary of their present form of government, and feel an abhorrence of their present rulers on account of the murder of their much regretted Sovereign.
It is said that the city of Nantz is taken possession of by the insurgents of Brittany.
By French papers of the 2d, it appears that the Spaniards have entered France in two places near Audayer.
The new arrangement of the Triple convention for the new partition of Poland, is said to be a far more extensive one of that unfortunate country, than that which took place in February 1772; by the division, it is said, that Thorn and Dantzic, with a large northern segment of that country will be ceded to Prussia, whilst Austria is to have a larger portion to the South; and Lithuania and the eastern district will be ceded to Russia; and thus, it is confidently said, the whole kingdom will be parcelled out amongst the partitioning powers.
NEW-YORK, May 25.
Yesterday afternoon arrived at this port in 42 days from Bristol, the brig Orange, Captain Sampson.
London papers are received to the 10th inclusive, in which there is not one official
account of Dumourier's defection. There are a variety of reports purporting that all France is in a terrible state of convulsion—various debates in the Jacobin club, in which it is said, Bournonville was impeached, and many other enthusiastic measures entered into—In The Sun , of the 16th April, which is the latest paper received, the following paragraph appears:
"It is now rumoured that Dumourier, having found reason to suspect the sincerity of a great part of his army, in the promises they had given to support him in his plan of marching to Paris, and placing young Louis on the throne, had left his army at the head of a regiment of cavalry, and gone to the Austrian army. We give this merely as a report; we may, however add, that no official intelligence of any such event has been received."
A London account of the fourteenth of March says, that 13,000 Frenchmen were killed and sunk before Williamstadt!—The whole of the attackers—not one escaped to !!! No doubt this jaw bone coup de main was effected by the immortal Duke of York !!! We do not presume to comment on this waste of a story, for preposterous absurdity is born on the very face of it. That there have been skirmishes, and such as have declared in favor of the Austrians, seems to be tolerably ascertained; but to suppose these decisive, cannot be reconciled with the former accounts; and the citizens need not be surprized, if these retreats should be preparatory to something great on the part of the French.
If all the English accounts are true, the despotic armies have already exterminated 180,000, odd hundred of Frenchmen!—Ye must have enormous gullets who swallow this.
Egypt (says a Constantinople account) is desolated by a cruel famine. At Cairo the streets are filled with dead bodies of the poor wretches who have fallen a prey to its ravages,—The plague has again appeared on a sudden at Smyrna.
PORTLAND, May 25. INSURRECTION AT GUADALOUPE.
Capt. Daniel Muffey, in the brig Delight , arrived at this port on Thursday last, in 29 days from Guadaloupe, and 13 from St. Thomas's—On the 21st of last month the negroes in the neighborhood of Guadaloupe, arose upon the planters, and massacred 35 persons, men, women and children.—It seems that the planters, are almost to a man Aristocrats, and that some time previous to this, they had concerted a plan to attack and subdue the patriotic citizens of Guadaloupe. For this purpose they had procured arms for themselves and for their slaves. As soon as the negroes were put in possession of these arms, instead of assisting in the reduction of the town, they turned them immediately against their masters; and at the first onset massacred the number above mentioned.—The citizens of Guadaloupe were immediately embodied, and went out to the assistance of the planters. The negroes, as soon as they saw them, instead of making any resistance, buzzed for the patriotic party, clubbed their firelocks, and surrendered.—They were about 200 in number, and were brought immediately into the town, and confined to the fort.—Instead of being censured, however, they were universally caressed by the citizens. Their trial was to take place about the time Capt. Muffey sailed; and it was the general opinion, that they would not only be acquitted, but be made, every man of them freemen.
It was reported, and generally believed, that another and greater insurrection had taken place in the same island. It was said that the negroes to the number of several thousand, were embodied; but their object was not certainly known.
BOSTON, JUNE 1.
The remains of the French army lately commanded by Dumourier, were in France, about 15 miles from Dunkirk; at the date of our last accounts.
Assignats, on the 12th April, were at two and an half for one in silver.
We have not seen in all the European accounts, a single charge or insinuation of Dumourier's having been bought by the Austrians. His defection is attributed to personal safety.—"All that a man hath will he give for his life."
THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
Of France, notwithstanding the inauspicious aspect of their affairs, still retain an energy of character, that with all their foibles, must do them honor. As their dangers augment their intrepidity and perseverance seem to increase—and the idea of defeat has not entered the heads of one of the seven hundred who compose that body: Their determination to be buried in the ruins of their country, has the appearance of veracity—and they seem fixed in presenting to the astonished
world another instance—that "although it is not in the power of mortals to command success—it is in their power to do more—to deserve it."
IMPORTANT NEWS,
Direct from France.
Capt. Haden, in the ship Can-ton , arrived at New-Bedford on Wednesday, from Dunkirk; which port he left on the 13th of April. He confirms the intelligence of Dumourier's defection, and informs, that between two and three hundred of his officers, among whom were several Generals, had absconded with him: That the Austrian army was within eight miles of Dunkirk, and the French army which Dumourier had left, was within 12 or 14 miles of the same place.
JUNE 3.
Extract of a letter from New-Bedford, dated May 29.
"I have been closely engaged, since the Canton's arrival, two hours since, in looking over my letters, and hearing the calamities of France detailed by the passengers, who not being politicians, differ so much in their reports, that I can scarcely collect a chain of intelligence to be depended upon. By the best information I have gained, it appears that Dumourier arrested the Commissioners of the National Convention, and sent them prisoners to the Austrian General: That several days previous thereto, he, with Clairfait, agreed upon a cessation of hostilities; and upon pain of death had each forbidden their troops entering the other's dominions: That Dumourier, with Generals Valens and Egalite, (the younger) 200 officers, and 4000 men, had joined the Austrian army: That the French, though apparently in good spirits, were making but feeble resistance, and that the Austrians were within 5 or 6 leagues of Dunkirk, and it was not expected it could be held from them. It was said the elder Egalite is under arrest at Paris."
Extract of a letter from Dunkirk, 13th April.
"According to all appearance, every moment is big with events, not the most pleasing. The passengers will give the particulars of the unexpected catastrophe of Dumourier's defection, which has caused the almost entire dissolution of the French Army."
"The enemy has entered the French territory and the result is wisely hid from us. Two of the worst dreadful calamities that can befall a country seem to invade the Southern Department—Civil wars have commenced, and famine threatens them."
By a letter from a gentleman of St. Croix, dated 13th of May last, we learn, That it was reported and believed there, that a species of the Plague had been brought into the island of Granada, in a Negro vessel from Sicra Leona, and that the said disease prevailed in the town of St. George, with a most destroying violence.
Extract of a letter from Tobago, dated May 3.
"A French squadron has arrived at Martinique, consisting of one ship 110 guns, eight seventy-fours and five frigates. Admiral Gardiner is also arrived with a squadron of two ships of 98 guns, five of seventy-four, and two frigates, and is now cruising off Point Martinique. Sir John Laforey has sent the Trufty to join Admiral Gardiner: The Centurian and the Blanch have also joined the squadron, and the Vengeance is in all probability arrived at Barbadoes with troops."
Saturday arrived the brig Lady Washington , Capt. West, 50 days from Amsterdam. 'Twas currently reported there, that Dumourier had left his Army, and join'd the Austrian arms.
A vessel, arrived at St. Eustatia from St. Vincent's, brought accounts, that a late arrival from England had brought intelligence, of the Turks having declared war against Russia, and all the other enemies of the French Republic. This, it was, observed, was more honorable to France, than the alliance of the Dey of Algiers was to England, during the American war.
SALEEM, MAY 27.
The papers brought by Capt. Tucker contain no European accounts brought by the frigate. But we find that the commissions of the new officers were "in the name of the French Republic ;" from which it may be concluded, that a counter-revolution was not so far advanced in France, as in the English newspapers.
Capt. Tucker informs, that a few days before he sailed, the whites marched out to attack the negroes; that they carried several of their places of defence; but coming to their principal fortress, situated on a mountain the troops refused to go on, as they said they received no pay; on which the commanding-officer shot
himself, and the rest fled; that the negroes pursued, and killed a number, and took two field pieces, one of which was afterwards retaken. We see no account of this, however, in the papers, except that in one of the 3d inst. it is mentioned, that the army had returned, but the Editor was not sufficiently informed of its operations to give an account of them.
PORTSMOUTH, June 4.

PLAIN SAILING:
Or, Resignation to the Storm.
BY MR. CHARLES S. POWELL.
WHEN once your bark is launch'd boys, on Fortune's fickle seas, May Patience be your Pilot then, and gently blow each breeze.
Be Hope your main-sheet Anchor to hold you if distress'd, And Prudence be your Steersman, when storms your bark molest.
Tho' rocks and shoals surround us to heave us to and fro,
There's an over-ruling Providence , that takes us all in tow;
No lee-shore then e'er fear, boys, nor harbor any dread,
There's never a sleepy watch, boys, station'd at mast-head.
Ne'er fear then squalls or whirlwinds, if all your tackle's right,
For Patience your safe Pilot, boys, will shape your course aright.
Tho' adverse winds should baffle and tatter every sail,
Be steady at the helm, boys, and weather out the gale.
May Courage , like your main-mast, ne'er break, altho' it may bend;
And Caution be your compass, lads, when wind and seas contend.
If driven out of course, boys, yet bravely stem the sea,
Your haven you'll at last gain, as sure as sure can be.
When once your voyage is over, and dangers all are past,
In Wooden-Dock you're laid snug, quite safe from every blast;
Then what the storm has shatter'd you'll neither fear nor care,
'Till ev'ry plank's replac'd, boys, and put in right repair.
ENJOY THE PRESENT TIME.
HAPPINESS is the centre to which all the actions of men are aiming. If, reasoning from analogy, we take into consideration the exalted station in which man is fixed, above all the rest of the creation, we shall be led to believe that he was placed here for rational enjoyments. For this purpose, he is endowed with an intelligent mind, capable of endless progress; of forming just conceptions of the objects which surround him; from tracing them from their effect to their efficient cause, and of turning them to his use and pleasure. The wants of nature are few; and of every want nature has furnished man with ample means of obtaining a supply. Why then is not man happy? Because he forsakes the plain track which nature has marked out for him. He seeks felicity where it is not to be found. He views his condition and circumstances in life through a false medium, and therefore seldom enjoys them as he might. He who possesses his thoughts discovers no more heart-felt contentment than the houseless child of charity. Few there are who are satisfied and easy, however eligible their situation. Daily experience evinces the truth of this observation. That the gains of to-day, only double the thirst for the acquirements of to-morrow.
