OFFICIAL.
THE KING OF PRUSSIA, TO THE PRINCE OF SAXE COBOURG.
"I AM eager to inform you, that it is my intention to give orders to my Field Marshal MOELLENDORF, to leave behind a corps of 20,000 men, under the command of Lieut. Gen. KALKREUTH, to withdraw with the rest of my army from the environs of Mentz, and to march towards Cologne.* I request you, for that purpose, to take the necessary measures, that the retreat of the most considerable part of my troops do not turn out advantageous to the enemy, but that the fortress of Mentz, and the Empire in general, remain covered against hostile invasion, it being in other respects necessary to make ar-

rangements to procure to the troops who put themselves on their march, the necessary provisions on the road to Cologne, their departure will not follow so rapidly; and those troops shall not file off at once, but by divisions. You will, therefore, have time sufficient to make the necessary dispositions. I hope, at the same time, that you will have the goodness to take such measures, that when Field Marshal MOELLENDORF shall have finished his preparations, and when, by virtue of the orders received, he shall have informed you of the days on which the troops shall depart, the execution of this resolution do not suffer any obstacle.
(Signed) "WILLIAM FREDERICK." Potsdam, March 11, 1794.
[Articles corroborating the above.]
FRANKFORT, March 13.
The negotiations between the Austrian and Prussian Ministers, at Vienna, are entirely broken off; the former having decidedly declined acceding to the demands of his Prussian Majesty, though warmly seconded by the British Minister. The consequence will be, that the Prussian army against France will be only 20,000 men, the contingent of the Elector of Brandenburg, instead of 100,000.
BRUSSELS, March 16.
The French, it is positively asserted, have agreed to give a large sum of money to the King of Prussia, part of which has already passed their frontier; in consideration whereof, his Prussian Majesty, who, it is said, does not consider himself immediately interested in the war, signs with them a treaty of Peace and ALLIANCE.
LOWER-RHINE, March 24.
According to every information, the negotiation of the King of Prussia, with the circles has terminated unfavourably; as the elector of Bavaria and the Duke of Wurtemberg having excused themselves, their example has been followed by several other States. Since this we have received certain information of the immediate return of the Prussian troops into Cologne, the contingent excepted.
The Elector of Bonn, arrived at that place on Saturday last, to apprise the chapter of the circumstance; as also a Prussian officer, whose business was to inform the magistrates of the fame, and to take the necessary measures for providing for the troops on their march.
PARIS, March 28.
The Paris papers contain several observations on the King of Prussia's defection. The following are extracted from "Les Annales Patriotiques et Litteraires."
"The coalesced powers are reduced to the necessity of making a gathering for the purpose of preventing the defection of FREDERICK—England it is said, will pay two fifths of this subscription—the Emperor a fifth—Holland a fifth, and the Imperial States a fifth: PITT must advance the money for Holland; but it remains to be proved, whether FREDERICK will not prefer a retreat to a subsidy, and whether other of the coalesced powers will not demand subsidies to enable them to remain in the coalition."
LONDON, March 20.
It may be depended upon as certain, that the King of Prussia, our great, faithful, humane, and good ally, will give no more assistance in the war against France. This country may even be thankful if that virtuous monarch avoids taking an active part in favour of French Republicans.
It is rumoured that Prussia is not the only power that has shewn symptoms of defection from the grand alliance. Spain, too, it is said begins to think that its best policy will be to take care of itself.
Lord ELGIN's arrival yesterday morning, in London, was reported to be in consequence of the precipitate and unexpected departure of the Archduke CHARLES from Brussels, on the 19th, for Vienna, occasioned, as was said, by the Emperor's sudden indisposition, which made it doubtful whether he was then alive. We believe, however, that the true cause for his sudden departure will soon be explained by the future conduct of our faithful ally, the King of Prussia.
Monday, in the House of Commons, Mr. GREY said, "There was one question which had been particularly put by some honorable friends of his, and which had not yet received any answer from Ministers—it was respecting a rumour that prevailed every where for some days past, and was received with every appearance of truth—He meant this plain question, "Whether the King of Prussia had, or had not, withdrawn from the confederacy of the powers allied against France? And thus left us engaged in a destructive and expensive war, after taking from us so essential a part of the support he was bound to give?" He considered the whole of this question as requiring from its importance a speedy discussion; in hopes, therefore, that it would soon come before the House, he would not now detain them longer."
Mr. PITT remained silent!
MARCH 31. An important change is likely to
take place in the affairs of Europe—namely, the withdrawing of the King of Prussia from the confederated powers against France. In the case of his royal Majesty's defection, it will no longer be problematical, how this bloody and expensive war will terminate. The French will establish their Republic, and credulous JOHN BULL, as usual, will be left in the lurch, to pay the piper.
Of France and its affairs.
PARIS, March 20.
It is quiet at this moment, and the Revolutionary Tribunal is about to proceed on the trial of CHABOT and his colleagues.
MARCH 25.
This morning at 9 o'clock, in consequence of the verdict of the Revolutionary Tribunal, given yesterday, the following persons were brought from the prison of the Conciergerie, to the Place de la Revolution, where they suffered under the axe of the Guillotine, viz. Hebert, Roussin, Momoro, Vincent, Du Croquet, Kooq, a Dutchman Colone Laumur, M. M. Bourgeois, Mazuel, La Borde, Ancard, Le Clerc, Proly, Desfinex, Anacharsis Cloots, Pereira, Florent Amand, Descombes, and Dubuizon, convicted of being the authors and accomplices of a conspiracy which existed against the liberty and safety of the people, and against the exercise of the lawful authority, tending to trouble the state by a civil war, by arming the citizens against each other, the object of which was, in the course of the present month Ventose, to dissolve the national representation, to assassinate its members and the patriots, to destroy the republican government, to seize upon the sovereignty of the people, and to give a tyrant to the state.
The wife of MOMORO has been arrested. She used to assist at all the civic fetes in the character of the Goddess of Reason.
General SANTERRE has been arrested and sent to prison.
MARCH 27.
At the trial of the conspirators, only one, LABOUREAU, was acquitted. As soon as he was liberated, the President of the Tribunal embraced him, and placed him at his side, while the hall resounded with applause. When the sentences were pronounced, ANACHARSIS CLOOTZ was the only one who addressed the auditors. He appealed to the human race, whose constant orator he had been.
The conspirators, when carried back to the Conciergerie, demanded a gallon of wine to be divided among them, and some soup. About nine yesterday morning they were conveyed in three carts to the place of execution. Never did a spectacle attract such a croud; such an infinite number of spectators. During the whole way along, hands were clapped, and hats tossed in the air, amidst the cry of "Live the Republic." Inflexible to the indignation manifested against them, they passed a long, and when at the foot of the scaffold, they embraced each other. HEBERT, vulgarly entitled, Father Duchesne, was guillotined the last, and his head was displayed to the people. At this sight the clapping of hands and shouts of the spectators were accompanied by the cry of "Live the Republic."
Further discoveries are made every day with respect to the late conspiracy.
CLAVERE, brother to the minister of that name Vergennes, Lepelletier, Rofambo, La tour du Pin, Madame Joly de Fluery, Gen. Roussin's wife, and several others, were taken up yesterday.
FRENCH FLEET.
Concave Bay, on board the Corvette, l' Assemble Nationale.
"We left Brest the 16th, without knowing where we were to go; our division was of six ships, two frigates, and two corvettes; another division of six ships followed, and carried the orders, which were opened when we were out of sight of land, but nothing was made known to the crews, and no one is suffered to land. The signal has now been given for leave to write. We expect the transports from the different ports in the channel; their number is said to amount to 600; they have only ballast, and a month's provision on board. All these vessels are only fit to take in troops, and it is the general report that a landing in England will be attempted in the Spring."
BRITISH ARMY IN FLANDERS.
ST. AMAND, April 1.
On Wednesday the 26 ultimo, the army of his Royal Highness the Duke of York was put in motion. The guards and heavy cavalry marched from Courtray and its environs to Peck. The brigade of the line from Menin to Courtray.
On the 27th, the guards marched to this place, and Hainou, and the brigade of the line took up their quarters at Peck.
On the 28th, the light cavalry and brigade of the line, marched through here to the differ-
ent villages in the neighbourhood, where they are at present cantonned; and the part of artillery marched from Courtray, to a village near Tournay; and on the 29th to Le Celle, which was the quarter allotted for them.
On the morning of the 29th, a heavy cannonade was heard from the Cambray quarter, which proved to be the Carmagnols attacking the village of Le Cateau. At first they were successful from their great number, which is reported to have been above 20,000, and carried two batteries; but the Austrians assembling a considerable force of cavalry before they could well form their line, attacked them with such impetuosity, that they were put into confusion, and driven off with the loss of five pieces of cannon, five hundred killed, and about one hundred taken prisoners.
APRIL 2. In our paper of Saturday, we stated that the French had landed about 18000 troops on the island of Chausey, which lies about 8 leagues from St. Malo, six leagues from Granville, and six from Jersey. The official accounts received on Saturday, make this force amount to 20,000 men. There are 34 sail of the line, and three French frigates lying in Canscale Bay, besides three more frigates cruising off Chausey.
A squadron is ordered by the Commissioners of the Admiralty to be stationed on the American coasts, for the protection of the British trade, the command of which is to be given to commodore MURRAY.
APRIL 5. Lord MALMSBURY, the British Ambassador at Berlin, and Count HAUGWITZ, cabinet Minister of his Prussian Majesty, arrived on the fifth of April at the Hague.
AUSTRIAN FLANDERS.
OSTEND, April 25.
We expect something very extraordinary within a few days. Our Generals think it necessary to take precautions against any thing that may happen. Accordingly, not only the stores and the greatest part of the provisions, but all the heavy baggage of the army is to be moved to Antwerp; and all the shipping of any value ordered quickly to leave Ostend harbour. They already talk of evacuating the Flemish and Belgian country.
ENGLAND AND IRELAND.
PLYMOUTH, April 1.
Intelligence has been received, that very active and extraordinary preparations are now making at Dunkirk; in consequence of which government have dispatched several officers to look closely in that harbour, and have collected a fleet in the Downs, to answer any emergency.
One of the circumstances least favourable to the hope, that the finances of the French Convention will speedily fail, is the reduction of 250 millions per month in the expenses of their army.
DOVER, March 25.
Our cruisers are now so numerous on the French coast, and so very vigilant in discharge of their duty, that they suffer nothing to pass unnoticed.—Within these few days upwards of twenty vessels have been sent into this harbour, supposed to be bound to France, no less than seven sail of which arrived yesterday; and our accounts from the northward mention, that one hundred and fifty sail are detained in the Northern ports of this kingdom.
BELFAST, April 7.
It is very singular that the Prussian defection has not operated either one way or the other on the British funds.—Three per cent. consols still stand at 67 and a fraction.
April 10.
It appears by all accounts from England, that the war is to be pursued with increased vigor, notwithstanding the Prussian cession.
OSTEND, April 2.
Victim of the old Government.
A letter from Florent Guyot, National deputy, informed the Convention, that Francois d'Ecofe, eighty years of age, had been kept in the prison of Lisle, in irons, for 45 years!
His family, who resided at Stockholm, had formerly allowed him an annual sum of 300 livres, which had been withdrawn for three years.
This unhappy man had been taken up by a lettre de cachet, after having served with credit in the French army.
The convention decreed, that a pension of 2000 livres should be granted to him, and that an enquiry should be instituted into the reason of this man's imprisonment having been kept from the knowledge of the Government since the Revolution.
The sickness among the troops at Southampton and the isle of Wight is truly alarming, and demands the most serious attention of Government.—The disorder among them has baffled the skill of one of the physician generals, and some of the best surgeons and physician gentlemen that ever attended an army.—Three regiments are said to have been thus rendered unserviceable.

PARIS, March 19. REPORT of the CONSPIRACY, presented to the National Convention, from the Committee of Public Safety—By St. JUST, on the 23d Ventose.
"I AM COME Legillators, in the name of the committee of Public Safety, to discharge that severe duty which patriotism demands, and to disclose truths that have hitherto been concealed.
"In the bosom of the Republic a conspiracy had been formed, whose object was to prevent the establishment of our Liberties. This conspiracy, as might be expected, was fostered, by the Foreign Potentates, who collecting and combining all the miscontents, lavished their wealth in endeavoring to destroy the simplicity of our inhabitants, and to enslave the people in gluttony, debauchery and ruin.
"As every decree which confiscated the property of the enemies of the Revolution, was a dreadful blow to their machinations, their principal attempt was to excite dissensions, and to disseminate discord, for the purpose of weakening the energies, and of loosing the reigns of government.
"We know of one way only to check the progress of such a scheme; and this is, to introduce into the Civil government, that rigorous Revolutionary Principle, and to declare war against every project tending to sap the foundation and to enervate the operation of our Republican Constitution—to indulge no temporizing with respect to those who attack the present state of affairs, and to immolate without pity upon the tyrant's tomb, and all those who lament the fall of tyranny—who endeavor to revenge her fall, and who seek to revive her influence. The intentions of the Foreign Powers was not alone to corrupt the Republic, and afterwards to abandon it to those long convulsions which the operation of such a poison as corruption would occasion—No—I shall have occasion to inform you, that a plot was formed to tumble in the dust, by a sudden attack, the simple unadorned column of the Republican Constitution, and to raise on its ruins the proud pile of Royalty.
"Corruption walked first in the procession, blasting and poisoning every healthful principle, and behind her marched the combined Powers, uniting their energies, and with uplifted arms prepared to strike, and in an instant to annihilate the Democracy.
"We do not on this occasion deceive the people, when we answer for their safety. Who are more interested than we in their safety; who are more interested than we are in their happiness?
"What friends have we on earth but the people, as long as they are free; and if ever they should cease to be so, our only comfort and friend will be the poison of "Hemlock." I announce to you a conspiracy fomented by foreigners who have been preparing for the people, famine and fetters. A great number of persons were concerned in this conspiracy—They interjected provisions and buried them, they endeavored to agitate the citizens by seditious speeches—All the passions were summoned to the assistance of the conspirators. The anger of some, and the great ambition of others were roused, cherished, fostered—Despair even was to produce a powerful operation, and all those who were known to be reduced to such a situation as to be destitute of hope, were combined into one black and horrible mass.
"The knowledge of this conspiracy has not burst upon us on a sudden. We have traced it to its source, have pursued it in all its progress; and now when it makes its appearance we are prepared to resist it, and to leave the vengeance of the people, armed by the power of truth, to the eternal destruction of its foes. The English Government was the principal author and actor in the conspiracy; and the following expressions were used in the English Cabinet, two days before the meeting of Parliament.
"If we make war, the convulsed government of France will procure new means of resistance. If we make peace, she will be involved in a civil war—Let us then have recourse to corruption." It was added too, "Let all our deliberations commence with these words:—Let us corrupt the Republic." It was said that it was necessary to carry on the war, but to delay the campaign. Hence would result the double advantage of repressing the English, and of risking nothing.
"The conspirators knew each other at all places by certain signs. There are Italians, Neapolitans, English, &c. at Paris, who alleged that they have been prosecuted in their own countries. These persons mix in the popular assemblies, and declaim against the governments of their own countries.—They insinuate themselves into the anti chambers of Ministers; obtain a knowledge of every thing, and soon form a connection with the magistrates who become their protectors.
"You passed a decree against foreigners. The next day an exception was made, in favor of artists. On the succeeding day all your enemies were artists even physicians—Those whom they have corrupted, defend them, because they have a common cause with them; attack them, and they immediately unite. In public they challenge each other, and one plays the part of Cato, the other of Pompey.
"Nobles, foreigners, indolent men, and hired orators, are all the agents of the combined powers; all conspirators against the Republic and the people. We declare war against these hypocrites in patriotism; we will judge them according to their disinterestedness and the simplicity of their speeches, not according to their afflatus.
"Your system of policy ought to embrace a vast regeneration. Dare to do every thing that
the interests and establishment of a free state commands. Where is the Tarpeian rock? Have you not the courage to precipitate down that rock every aristocrat, whatever be the mask with which he covers his front of brass?
"Men who are indolent are our enemies. Let us permit no man to live in idleness—Have you no vessels building—No land cultivating—No commerce flourishing.
"To do good to the people in secret, to labour for their welfare in the silence of the closet, such is the real duty of a patriot. All men, however, wish to govern, and none to be citizens.
"The destruction of Paris was meditated; you ought to punish such an attempt, that would have destroyed the Republic; you ought to punish the conspirators, and the friends of foreign powers; you ought to adopt those severe measures now offered to your consideration.
"The foreign powers had in their pay several sections, which though apparently inimical to each other, all united in secret, and all laboured to accomplish one object, the death of liberty.
"Seize the helm boldly, and the foreign faction will after this night, after this speech, experience the energies of the French people. All traitors must fall.
"The intelligence we have procured has informed us that the allies expected very little from the operations of the campaign. Their chief movements were directed to the internal state of the Republic, and to Paris.—They wished to carry on an internal campaign; a campaign of anarchy, corruption and famine.
"To conceal these designs, Colonel Mack had recourse to continual menaces, which, without endangering the allies, tended to make them formidable. But during all this time they were carrying on their secret machinations, and endeavouring to overthrow the present government: to appoint a regency and raise the Bourbons to the throne. For some time exaltation has been observed in the countenances of all the emigrants in all parts of Europe. After the regency had been established, the foreign powers were to propose a peace. The thousand millions in assignats of the property of the patriots were fabricated at Brussels and Frankfort, and these were to be exchanged for the assignats of the Republic. The means of execution were the destruction of the representation, first by lies and exciting disgust among the people, and afterwards by the sword.
"Fly to the bankers—there wretches are concealed—their discourses are revolutionary—but never proceeding to the height of the principle, they always concluded with an expression of pity for their country. He alone is a patriot, who openly supports the Republic, he who only fights in the rear, is a traitor.
"The plan that will be offered to you, will extirpate all the conspirators. People of the Republic, listen no longer to the absurd tone of indulgence! Attempts have been made to subjugate you to an infamous Regency,—the ashes of your defenders were to have been given to the winds.—But the conspiracy is discovered;—it is now nothing more than the dream of tyranny, and the Republic is once more saved.
"In a few days a report will be presented on the persons who have been concerned in this conspiracy. At present the interests of the people permit me to say no more."
MARCH 20. HEBERT'S CONSPIRACY. EVERY thing is tranquil, and that right of insurrection, which has formed a part of other Constitutions, as well as of the present Republican Constitution of France, has not yet been exercised.
The recent events, instead of convulsing the public mind, have communicated to it new energy and vigour, and one sentiment of attachment to the National Convention seems to pervade and animate the whole mass of the people. All the sections, and all the popular societies, have assembled, and have unanimously resolved to support the Republican Constitution, and the National Representatives.
It is difficult to know with accuracy what the projects of Hebert were, and what effects he expected would result from them—without attaching to them such complicated guilt as St. Just, who asserted that they implicated the dissolution of the National Convention, the assassination of those members, against whom Hebert had so long and with such fury declaimed, and the massacre of the persons confined in the prisons of Paris, we are induced to conjecture that they tended to produce an insurrection in which it was examined that the obnoxious members might experience the fate of the Brissotines, and that Robespierre, (to whom it is certain that Hebert had a personal dislike) might be involved in their fate. If such was his plan, it was perhaps unwisely conceived, and was certainly too vast to be carried into execution by a man of such moderate portion of abilities. Hebert appears to have always rated his influence with the people, too high.
It may not perhaps be unacceptable to our readers to present them with a brief narration of the discovery and destruction of the conspiracy.
The designs of Hebert were known to the Committee of Public Safety soon after they were formed, and the Committee, and particularly Robespierre, seem to have attended to and watched them, from their formation to their execution, for when Hebert first began to declaim against Philippeaux, Camille Desmoulins, and other members of the Convention, Robespierre was prepared to defend them and Camille Desmoulins, protected by Robespierre, immediately published a Journal, called 'Pere Duchesne.' Availing himself at length of the opportunity afforded by the recent scarcity of provisions which it is said he had been instrumen-
tal in producing, his party, obtaining the ascendancy in the Cordelier's Club, prevailed upon the members to throw a veil over the Rights of Man; and though he took precaution to be absent from the Club, on the day on which this event occurred it is not to be doubted that he was the cause of it. This was to be the signal for the people to rise.
The committee of Public Safety immediately resolved to check the further progress of Hebert's designs, and for that purpose a previous search was made by the armed force, for several of the inferior members of his party. These were immediately examined, and full information having been procured, Hebert, Vincent and the other members of the Municipality, his adherents, were ordered to be put under arrest.
They underwent this morning (the 20th of March) a secret interrogatory. At the same time Chabot, Bazir, and the other deputies, were conveyed before the Revolutionary Tribunal. The Committee of Public Safety has appointed Cellier and Le Grand to the situation formerly held by Hebert and Chaumette.
The Evening of the 20th March. The most important information has resulted from the examination of Hebert and Vincent. The Committee of Public Safety has been employed night and day in the examination of witnesses. The Club of Cordeliers is put under the ban of the Jacobins, and no correspondence is to be held with them by the latter until a strict scrutiny of the members has taken place.
LONDON, APRIL 4. Government have received advice that a large fleet of Danish ships, laden with corn for France, are soon expected down the North-Sea under convoy of one or two men of war, to prevent captures; but the Arrogant of 74 guns, and Adamant of 50 guns, with several float frigates, are sent out to cruise on those seas, with positive orders to take and bring into our ports any Danish or Swedish ships which they meet laden with corn; so that it is very possible our ships may have a contest with the Danish convoy.
Letters from Nice, of the 17th ult. announce, that the city is full of republican troops, who are to act at the opening of the campaign. Sixty pieces of ordnance had also arrived at Nice from Toulon. The Commissioner Salicetti was expected shortly to arrive at Nice, after which, 10,000 men abundantly supplied with ammunition and provisions, were to embark on some secret expedition. The greatest zeal prevails at Nice, in building ships and vessels of all sizes.
The Turkish Ambassador is certainly on the eve of his departure from London, and a vessel has been appointed by government to take him from Dover to Ostend.
Several rumours were yesterday in circulation respecting the cause of this abrupt departure, as, whatever his business might have been, his Excellency departs re-infacta. The cause is, however, obviously to be found in the recapture of Toulon, which extinguished the ideas of the British force in the Mediterranean, and procured to the French interest the ascendancy in the Di- van.
April 8. The Viscount Poiger, aid-du-camp to the Marquis D'Estanay, the French General who commands the emigrants, came to Weymouth in the Packet, and we learn that the Royalists on the banks of the Loire are 90,000 strong; but that only half that number are properly armed, the rest have only sticks, clubs, or any weapons they could get.
Yesterday Mr. Hankey received a letter from Brussels, dated Saturday last, stating that the Arch-Duke Charles, in consequence of an Express, set off, on the evening of the 19th for Conde. He there met with a boy, to whom he paid particular respect. He brought him to Brussels on the night of the 21st, and on the morning of the 22nd they departed together for Vienna. That boy was supposed to be the young King of France. This letter Mr. Hankey shewed to the minister.
COMMOTIONS among the TURKS. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 10.
The insurrection in Arabia still continues. The rebellious sect are called the Vehabi, and have nothing less in view than the sapping of the whole foundation of the Mahometan Religion, which they are taught to look upon as the grossest Idolatry. Their opinions, however, are by no means new, being to be traced 60 years back to their original propagator, an eminent Scheich, of the name of Mohammed Ibn Abdul Vehab. What they particularly inculcate is the destruction of the tomb of Mahomet the Sanctuary of Mecca, and all the religious ceremonies recommended in the Island.—Thus recommending plunder and rapine, their principles have been greedily imbibed by the Arabs, who were strong enough last year to defeat an army of 40,000 men laid against them by the Seriff of Mecca and the Pacha of Bagdad; The letter is said to have a plan for their entire suppression, which has been approved by the Divan.
The discontent among the people here are still very high. Divisions also exists among the troops, and a short time since the Cannoneers and the Janissaries had an engagement, in which many were killed on both sides. And not withstanding this tumult was appeased, a new explosion is much dreaded, which cannot fail to be terrible.
KINGSTON, (Jamaica) April 13. Yesterday arrived the Schooner Slavery, in 29 days from Baltimore, with dispatches from the President of the United States, and Mr. Hammond, the British minister at Philadelphia, to his Honour the Lieutenant Governor.
April 19. The American ship Sampson, lately commanded by Capt. Joshua Barney, and her cargo, were condemned on Wednesday at a court of admir-
ty in Spanish Town, as a lawful prize. The grounds of the condemnation, we understand, were, for associating and acting in concert with the enemy, and defending the enemy's property, as well as divers other acts contrary to the laws of neutrality.
BALTIMORE, May 19. On Friday last arrived in this port, the brig Polly, Capt. Quincy, from Cork. Left there, the ship Jay, Thomas, of New-York; ships Alfred, Mackay, and Mercury, Howland, of Boston. The latter was bound for Liverpool, and got under way just before the Polly; but by the misconduct of the Pilot, was run on shore upon Hawbowline-Island, on dangerous rocks. When Capt. Quincy passed, they were getting purchases to the mail, to keep the ship from falling over, it being young ebb. Spoke, off Cape-Clear, the ship Apollo, Jones, belonging to Portsmouth, New-Hampshire, from Norfolk, bound to Cork, out 22 days.
May 22. On Friday last arrived at Norfolk in 53 days from Greock, the ship Ann and Susan, of New-York, Capt. Duplex, with 98 passengers, chiefly mechanics. After landing the passengers and some goods, she sailed for New-York.
Official Letter.
The following is the Letter from the Secretary of State, of the 29th of April, to Mr. Hammond, in answer to his of the 10th of March, referred to in the correspondence published in our last.
PHILADELPHIA, April 29, 1794.
SIR, VERY soon after the receipt of your letter of the 10th ult. I took more than one opportunity of mentioning to you verbally, that the government of the United States was sincere and constant in its determination to fulfil its assurances, concerning the districts occupied by the British troops, and the acts of violence said to be committed under the authority of the state of Vermont, on the persons and property of British subjects, residing under the protection of your garrisons.
I indeed promised to give you an answer in writing, at an earlier day than this. But being anxious to obtain particular information from a gentleman who was in town, well acquainted with the places to which you refer, and from some accident, not being able as yet to lay my hands upon the letter of Mr. Jefferson to you on the 9th July, 1792, I was hopeful that my personal declarations to you, would continue to receive such full confidence as to afford sufficient opportunity for the most particular enquiry. But being disappointed, in seeing that gentleman, I think it best to answer your letter without further delay.
I have it in charge from the President of the United States, again to assure you, that his purpose to cultivate harmony with your nation, and to prevent the measures of which you complain in the above letters, continues unchanged. Orders will be immediately repeated upon this point, to repress the violences which you state, and they shall be accompanied with an injunction, to use against the refractors every coercion which the laws will permit. We have received no intelligence of the particular facts to which you refer. But to prevent all unnecessary circuitry in first enquiring into them, and next transmitting to this city, the result, the proper instructions will be given to act without waiting for further directions.
In these measures, Sir, you will see a real disposition in us to friendship, and good neighbourhood; and I shall be justified by your own recollection, when I claim the merit of our having been uniform in the same demonstrations.
I have the honor to be, &c. (Signed) EDM. RANDOLPH.
BOSTON, June 2. Let us suppose the sum total loss on the vessels condemned in the West-India islands, to be one million five hundred thousand pounds, to the owners; and on a final indemnification, they were to receive that sum. Let us also suppose, that the damage to be repaired from arrests and detention of property by the British cruisers, to be five hundred thousand pounds more, on the vessels uncondemned. We must then calculate the loss of the revenue, and the disadvantage above all, to the mechanics, and day laborers, before we can have a just estimate of the real mischief that has been suffered, and of the reparation to be made. There is not a mechanic interrupted in his work, nor a laborer in his daily occupation but what ought to be indemnified as much as the merchant who has lost his property in the first instance. What has Great-Britain not to answer for? After attempting the entire subjugation of this country, and the extermination or conquest of its inhabitants in the last war, she turned a sickening eye to our rising prosperity, so opposite to her own predilection; and as the sanguinary, blood-thirsty councils of her own Court, would not admit of her people continuing at rest, she was determined that the Americans should not reap the benefits which she had so wickedly and foolishly renounced. It is out of her power to make good the loss we have sustained by her horrible policy, if she had a sincere disposition to do it; which, however, appears by no means to be the case.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE. Extract of a letter from St. Pierre, (Martinique) May 1.
"All the American vessels, seized in this port, were yesterday condemned in gross: for having acted contrary to the instructions of the 6th of Nov. and 8th of Jan. and having been found here supplying bad men in a bad cause, and as enemies to Great-Britain."

A calculation of the expence of Mr. Sedgwick's proposed army of twenty-five thousand men, besides officers, for one year, at the present rate of military pay, cloathing and subsistence, viz.
  25,000 suits of cloathing at 12 dollars per suit, 300,000   Wages of 25,000 men at 4 dol. per month for one year. 1,200,000   Subsistence of 25,000 men at 60 dol. per year which is much less than what the present army is supplied at, 1,500,000 
  Dolls. 3000,000   Officers wages 730,000   Officers subsistence 300,000 
Total, 4,030,000 What a glorious chance for a new funding system; what an extensive field for a new-emission of army scrip; what a shame that the unfeeling republican democratic majority, should unfeelingly blast the bright prospect of so glorious a harvest.
[Philadelphia Paper.]
JUNE 3.
Upwards of 100 masters and mates of the port of Philadelphia, met on the 23d May. Resolved, not to take charge of any vessel for 10 days from that date—To request the pilots not to carry any vessel down—Not to accept of any birth, vacated by the dismissal of any one for observing those resolves.—And appoint a committee to petition for a continuance of the Embargo.
The British frigate, Terpsichore, of 32 guns, has arrived at Norfolk, she is part of a British fleet expected on the coast. Gen. Collot, of Guadalupe came in her.
The information of the depredations in the West-Indies, does not appear to have been received, at the date of our accounts, in Europe. The English fleet was at sea in four squadrons. The Breck French fleet was also said to be at sea.
FROM AMSTERDAM, March 2.
"Every thing is, as yet, tranquil. A few days must, I think, bring forward something of consequence."
"The English mail is in to day. Lord Howe has again gone to sea March 15."
"The Columbia, Capt. MALEY, from Philadelphia, taken and carried into Jersey, was offered by the Captors to be given up, provided they should not be called upon for damages; but Mr. JOHNSTON, the American Consul, has refused it, and insists that they should pay the loss sustained on account of the vessel's having got water into her, and the lower tier, which is sugar, having washed away."
FROM PORTLAND, May 24.
A MURDER.
Last Sunday evening, as a young girl of about 14 years of age, of a creditable family in Vassalborough, by the name of TILTON, was returning home from her sister's house, where she had been on a visit, was overtaken in the woods by a negro man, who, after committing a rape, murdered her, and hid her body under a log, and covered it with rotten wood. She was found on Tuesday after a long search made by the neighbours, who from certain circumstances, suspecting the perpetrator of the crimes, took the negro with them.—We hear the villain has confessed the facts, and is in custody.
JUNE 2.
Arrived brig Betsey, Capt. FARLEY, from Oporto, (Portugal) 62 days. Three days before Capt. F. failed, a press of 500 men was made at Lisbon, to man the fleet to shut up the Algerines in the Mediterranean.
The Algerines in their second cruise, did not take a prize. In their first they captured 10 Americans, and 6 Genoese vessels.
The Daudalus and Fox British frigates, of 32 guns each, have lately failed from the Chesapeake. Shortly after they passed the Concord, she weighed, and proceeded after them. The Concord is a warm 44.
JUNE 6.
EMBARGO.
Since the expiration of the Embargo, on the 25th of May, there has been a continuation of Easterly winds, and thick, lowering weather, which has as effectually embargoed our vessels, as the Resolution of Congress. In Nantasket-Road there has been lying, for eight or ten days past, near 100 sail, bound to different ports, and many in other parts of the harbour. They have several times endeavoured to get to sea, but have as frequently been prevented. There appears no more probability of a change of wind or weather at present, than there did at its commencement.
DRAUGHTING THE MILITIA.
General orders have been issued in several of the Southern States, for draughting detachments from the Militia, agreeably to a late Resolution of Congress. The same Resolution is now before our Legislature, and a compliance with it, it is probable, will soon commence the draughts from our State Militia.
We hear that the President of the United States, at the instance of the National Convention of France, has recalled Mr. Morris, and has nominated Mr. MONROE, a Senator of the United States from the State of Virginia, to succeed Mr. Morris. We also hear, that Mr. Carmichael is recalled from Spain, and is to be succeeded by Mr. Short.
FROM LONDON.
Yesterday arrived the brig Galen, Capt. EDWARDS, in 56 days from London. Nothing decidedly important could be expected by her, as we have information from Europe subsequent to her sailing. However, the stay of the Captain in London enabled him to make some observations on the dispositions of the people, and the situation of affairs, from which he concludes, that a peace is not a very distant or improbable event.
On his passage he was spoke with by the British Frigates Daudalus and Terpsichore, of 32 guns each; and treated with the utmost politeness.
A Danish Capt. Calef, failed from Bristol, 10th March; for Boston.
JUNE 9.
BY the Favorite, Capt. MOULTON, from London, arrived since our last, we have received a file of "The Gazetteer," a patriotic paper, up to the 13th April.
From a cursory perusal of these papers, it does not appear that the campaign is yet opened; in fact, the affairs of Europe seem to be at a stand. Nothing of importance is contained in these papers, except a confirmation of the defection of the King of Prussia—his declaration is contained in one of them; but its length prevents its appearance this day—we will give it on Thursday.
By these papers it also appears, that the news of the depredations in the West-Indies, had arrived in London; but it did not make any impression on the minds of the people, if we may judge from the papers, as there is but very little said about the matter in them.
Another conspiracy has been detected in Paris, at the head of which was the celebrated DANTON, who has been arrested, and it is said in the London papers, of the 15th, has been executed, together with a number of others.
Capt. M'LELLAN has arrived at Portland since our last, in a short passage from Plymouth, (Eng.) We are informed that he brings nothing of importance. We have not, however, seen any papers brought by him. A gentleman from Portland informs that Capt. M'LELLAN told him, the Printers in England were not allowed to publish any thing unfavourable to that country. This may in some manner account for the extreme barrenness of the papers received by the late arrivals.
It does not appear by these arrivals, that Spain has acknowledged the French Republic; on the contrary mention is made of her exertions in arming, &c. for the ensuing campaign.
A gentleman in this town has received a letter from his brother now in London, dated 15th of April, which mentions that the British Parliament has passed a law, forbidding, upon pain of death, any commercial intercourse with any French citizen, or with any person residing in, or who has been in France, since January last.
However extraordinary this intelligence may appear, it is actually related to in a letter, which comes from a gentleman of character and respectability; and so circumstanced, we thought it our duty to mention it.
THE President of the United States has appointed JOHN Q. ADAMS Esq. of this town, to be Resident from the United States at the United Provinces of the Netherlands.
Dr. Priestly, has arrived at New-York from England.
By two resolutions passed, Congress are to rise on the third of June, and meet on the first Monday of November.
Yesterday arrived an English Ship from Guadalupe, with 171 French Republicans, prisoners bound to St. Malo, in France, but being destitute of Provisions, the Master was steering for Halifax; the Prisoners objecting to being carried in there, obliged the Captain to bring them into this port.
A letter from St. Eustatia, dated May 4, informs, "American property now goes unmolested, and every encouragement given it. Guadalupe is taken and the British fleet fails tomorrow for England." Sir John and Charles goes in it.
Vessels lying in the port of Salem, at the expiration of the Embargo, May 26, 1794—usually employed in the merchants service, viz.
  6 Ships, 1679   33 Brigantines, 4372   26 Schooners, 2166   1 Sloop, 62 
66 vessels, 8270 tons, All belonging to inhabitants of Salem, and being rather more than half the merchant tonnage, belonging to the port.
Arrived here on Saturday last the ship Hope, Swain, master, from Havre-de-Marat, 75 days.
Also, Ship Friendship, John Watts Moulton, master, from London, 54 days.—(She belongs to Messrs. Lord's, Portsmouth, (N. H.)
The following Intelligence is by the latter arrival.
BAYONNE, March 19.
The Spaniards made an attack on the 17th instant, at six o'clock in the morning. Their force consisting of 16,000 men, was divided into five columns.
As the attack was unexpected, the Spaniards were at first successful. They obliged our troops to abandon the post of Rocher on the left and to retreat from the post of La Croix des Bouquets. Already had they begun to exclaim—Victory! Victory! and to think that the Republicans would make no more resistance but, at the redoubt of La Liberte, the Patriots rallied, received the flaves with such resolution that they were soon dispersed, and driven back with prodigious slaughter.—In the short space
of an hour, all the posts were re-taken and the enemy lost at least 1200 men.
NICE, March 19.
Letters were received yesterday from Corsica, informing us, that the English have retired to St. Florenza.
LANDAU, March 24.
This army has received a re-inforcement of 50,000 men, and great preparations are making to commence, it is said, the siege of Manheim.
THIONVILLE, March 25.
General Jourdain has taken the command of the army.
RETHEL, March 26.
Every preparation is made for some important operation.
LONDON, April 9.
The Republican army cannot muster more than 30,000 men throughout the whole district! Ten thousand are however marched from the Northern Frontier.
The Flanders mail of this morning, brings intelligence which states that the Royalists in the north-west are actually 80,000 strong—it is added that they are before Nantz—one of the grand divisions of this numerous body of men has lately possessed itself of Limoges.
It was reported at reported at Ostend on Tuesday, that on the morning of Saturday last the deputies, &c., were executed, having been pronounced guilty on the preceding evening. Danton is said to have died as he had lived, indignant and impetuous.
Earl Howe is preparing for sea with all expedition. All the line of battle ships at Plymouth are ordered immediately to join him at Portsmouth.
Messrs. Muir, Palmer, and the others sentenced by the Scotch Judges to be transported to Botany Bay, are not now permitted to hold conversation with any one from the shore; nor are boats suffered to come along aside the Surprise with any of their friends.
April 13.
Provisions are so scarce in Lord Hood's fleet, that the crews are served with pickled herrings instead of pork and beef.
The number of prisoners at present in the King's Bench, amounts to one thousand and seventy three.
From NORFOLK, (Virg.) May 15.
On Tuesday last arrived in Chesapeake Bay the ship St. Ann, Captain Juan Mathias de Ledredo, in 55 days from Cadiz—in whom came passenger Capt. Campbell, of Philadelphia, who brings the following intelligence.
That there was lying in Cadiz, twenty-two sail of the line, eight frigates, two sloops of war belonging to the Spaniards.—Four sail of the line and two frigates of this number, were daily expected to sail as convoy, for a fleet of merchantmen for the Havannah, and the remaining number was not half manned—That there was dead and sick, 18,000 at the Spanish army on the frontiers of France, with the plague.
From BALTIMORE, May 8.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Wilmington, to his friend in this town, dated May 26.
"A person just arrived from the West-Indies, brings very bad news; in consequence of which a vessel was immediately dispatched, to bring back those belonging to this port that failed yesterday and this morning. And further, it is thought that war is inevitable."
From NEWARK, (N. J.) MAY 28.
On Friday last arrived in this town, a gentleman immediately from New-Orleans, who descended the rivers Ohio and Mississippi, to that place as late as March last, who informs, that a body of General CLARK's party, to the number of 21, had collected at the mouth of Cumberland-River, allotted as the place of rendezvous—their intentions were, when a sufficient number should have collected, to proceed to Louisiana for the purpose of attacking that place, as has been mentioned in former accounts—but a sufficient number for this purpose not having been collected, and CLARK not complying with his promise, viz. to compensate them for their services, they determined to stop, detain and plunder, all boats that should be found passing the river. This gentleman, having been previously informed of their intentions, by using every precaution passed them in the night, unperceived, and proceeded on to Lance le Grace, on the Mississippi, (a Spanish settlement) where he gave information to the Commandant, of the designs of those ruffians. He immediately dispatched a party of Chickasaw-Indians, who fell upon them, killed three, wounded four, and dispersed the remainder; as he was informed by a gentleman who saw the affair, shortly after at New-Orleans.
From PROVIDENCE, (R. I.) MAY 31.
Capt. PERRY, who lately arrived here from Lisbon, was suffered to unload his vessel there without paying the accustomed duty of four and an half per cent which it is said has in no other case been dispensed with. The following is a copy of a letter written on that occasion to Mr. Church, by the Portuguese Minister.
TRANSLATION.
"Luis Pinto de Souza, Minister and Secretary of State, presents his compliments to Mr. Edward Church, Consul-General, &c. from the United States; acknowledges the receipt of his letters of the 22d and 24th inst. and has the honor to acquaint him, that having presented to her Most Faithful Majesty his first letter, with the petition inclosed from Christopher Raymond Perry, Capt. of the American brig Sukey, her Majesty, having paid all due attention to the necessity that obliges the said Perry to unload, has passed her royal orders,
that the same be granted without paying the customary duties. Luis Pinto de Souza participates with Mr. Church in the various proofs of this court's particular attention to all that concerns or is interesting to the citizens of the United States of America, as far as is compatible with the justice and equity of her Most Faithful Majesty."
(Signed) "LOUIS PINTO DE SOUZA." "Palace of Queluz. 26th Oct. 1793."

S O N G,
Sung by Mr. BAKER, at the Boston Theatre, to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."
WHEN "Yankee Doodle" was a boy, He grew so big and bouncing; King GEORGE took him on his knee, To give the lad a trouncing.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
But "Yankee Doodle" toss'd his hat, And clench'd his fist so bravely; Gadzooks! so deep he chop'd his muns, JOHN BULL roar'd out pecavi.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
Then "Yankee Doodle," fly young rogue, Sent o'er across the sea, Sir, That noted rake, the "RIGHTS OF MAN," To cuckold ROYALTY, Sir.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
And now, may "Yankee Doodle" laugh Old England into scorn, Sir, To see "JOHN BULL" turn bull indeed, And wear a pair of horns Sir.
Yankee Doodle, &c.
Huzza! for pilot WASHINGTON, The Federal Ship and cargo, May she by Pirates ne'er be robb'd, Nor stopp'd by an Embargo!
Yankee Doodle, &c.
La! you, who look so neation foine, Pray be a little handy, And I'll by pork and 'lasses swear, That BOSTON is the dandy.
Boston is the dandy, &c.
