Federal Legislature. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, JANUARY 13. (Continued.)
The following is the report of the Select Committee, on the Petition of ANDREW FRAUNCES:
THE committee of the House of Representatives of the United States, consisting of Messrs S. SMITH, GILES, FINDLEY, COFFIN, and DAYTON, presented the following to the House, on the 29th ult.
The committee, to whom was referred the memorial of ANDREW G. FRAUNCES, with the accompanying papers, have proceeded to take the same into consideration, and to examine the late treasurer, and several officers and clerks of the present department, respecting the same; and, as the result of their inquiries, make the following report:
That about the month of May last, the memorialist became possessed of two warrants, drawn by the late Board of Treasury; the one for 3,500 dollars, the other for 2,000 dollars: That in consequence of an estimate for appropriations for the year 1789 certified by the Register of the Treasury, an appropriation of 100,000 dollars was made for paying warrants of the description of those in possession of the memorialist. That these warrants were not, however, particularized in the estimate: That payments of sundry warrants of the same description, were made, pursuant to the appropriation, from Nov. 1789, to Nov. 1790, amounting in the whole to 157,630 dollars, 94 cents; after which time, only two small warrants, amounting to 183 dollars 33 cents, have been paid; which warrants appeared to the officers of the Treasury not to have been of doubtful character; That no other warrants of the same description were presented for payment at the Treasury, until the autumn of 1792; about which time several were presented; That some time after November, 1790, in the course of examining the proceedings of the late Board of the Treasury, and modes of doing business practised by them, together with some other circumstances falling within the knowledge of the accounting officers of the Treasury, doubts were entertained at the Treasury how far these warrants, and others of the same description, constituted a good claim against the public; and in consequence of the information thus obtained, payments thereof were, from that time, suspended. The committee have thought it expedient not to detail the particular circumstances attending this description of warrants, which caused the determination of the Treasury officer to suspend payment, and refer the House to certain documents attending this report, for full information relative thereof. It appears, that the warrants presented by the memorialist, for payment, had been previously presented for payment at the Treasury, by some other person, and that payment had been refused, but the presentation acknowledged in the following words, written in red ink, on one of the warrants, "Presented to the Secretary of the Treasury, on the 26th of December, 1792, by JASPER MARDOCK."
It appears that the Secretary of the Treasury refused to pay the warrants to the memorialist, who presented them for that purpose, in the month of May last; and that he has been uniform in his refusal from that time to the present. The committee are of opinion, that the reasons assigned by the Secretary of the Treasury, for refusing payment of the warrants, are fully sufficient to justify his conduct; and that the Secretary of the Treasury, and other officers of the Treasury, merit applause for their conduct in the whole course of this transaction.
At the request of the Secretary of the Treasury, the committee have likewise proceeded to examine the charge made against him, relative to the purpose of the pension of Baron de GLAUPECK, and of opinion that it is wholly illiberal and groundless.
Mr. SHERBURNE called up the petition of THOMAS MANNING, presented last week—he observed that the facts set forth in the petition were established by documents which accompanied it. That the petition originated in a contract made by the petitioner with an agent of the French government in Martinique; that although that government had recognized the powers of their agent, and the performance of the services which were the ground of the contract, they had refused to fulfil it but by a payment of assignats, instead of specie, which had been particularly specified. He observed, had the contract been made with an individual, a process in a judicial court would have procured an indemnity, but it was with a nation, over which judicial courts had no controul; the petitioner therefore could derive no redress but from the justice of his country, which was bound to protect the rights of its citizens in all cases, and when it could not prevent an injury, it ought to repair the damage. That this in the present case, might be done with a moral assurance of a reimbursement, as it would be a just article of charge in the account of the United States against
France, to which justice must cheerfully give its sanction, and, which in happier times, that government will undoubtedly allow. That as the justice of the demand was confessed in indemnifying the petitioner, would be advancing a payment for France, for which her credit and honor were pledged, but which the present situation of that country would not at present allow her to make; but, Mr. Sherburne observed, that as the case was of the first impression and he wished there might be a thorough investigation of principles as well as facts. He moved that the petition with the documents accompanying it, might be referred to the Secretary of State—This motion obtained.
TUESDAY, JAN. 14.
The subject of our commercial intercourse with foreign nations was taken up early in committee of the whole. Mr. Madison in a speech of great length replied to Mr. Smith's observations made yesterday. The committee rose and the house adjourned at an hour earlier than common, owing to the sensation which the receipt of an account of the RECAPTURE of TOULON and CAPTURE of the DUKE of YORK and his ARMY, produced.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15.
After reading and referring several petitions—a motion was made to go into the committee of the whole, on the report of the Secretary of State, respecting the foreign commerce of the United States. This motion was succeeded by another, to suspend the consideration of this subject, till the correspondence of the executive with the British Minister should be printed and put in the hands of the members; this motion was negatived; and the house went into committee, Mr. Trumbull in the chair.
The debate was continued till near three o'clock; when the committee rose and reported progress.
A message was received from the President of the United States, communicating a letter from Mr. Genet Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic to the United States, dated the 20th of December, 1793; and a copy of the proceedings of the Legislature of South-Carolina. The letter was read—it states that the Minister had not authorized the enrolling, forming and equipping of an armed force in any part of the territory of the United States, but that pursuant to authority and instructions from the Executive Council of the French Republic he had delivered commissions to sundry Republican citizens in the state of South-Carolina, who had determined to expatriate themselves—these persons were to go to join the people called Savages, to fight under the orders of the French Republic, against their enemies, the English and Spanish.
The proceedings of the Legislature of South-Carolina, relative to this business was then read, by which it appears that a number of persons in that state had accepted commissions from Mr. Genet, that they had proceeded to enlist sundry persons—these, when embodied, were to rendezvous in Georgia, and to act on the Spanish settlements on the Frontier, or otherwise in conjunction with a French fleet, in case such fleet should appear on the Southern coast.
THURSDAY, JAN. 16.
The resolution received from the Senate yesterday, proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, was read the second time, and made the order of the day for Monday next.
In committee of the whole, Mr. Trumbull in the chair—The report of the Secretary of State, on the foreign commerce of the United States—and the resolutions of Mr. Madison founded thereon—were again under consideration—Mr. Nicholas spoke largely on the subject in favor of the general principle of the resolutions—some observations were made by several other Members—the Committee at length rose and reported progress.
A message was received and read from the President of the United States, communicating intelligence recently received from Europe. This intelligence was contained in extracts and letters which originated in a correspondence between our Minister at Paris and the French Minister for Foreign Affairs, relative to sundry commercial transactions—the detention of American vessels in the harbors of France—and the capture of the American ship Laurens, &c. A copy of the late act of navigation was among the papers communicated; it was directed to be translated.
A communication was received from the Secretary of the Treasury, containing statements respecting the Loan Offices—which were read and laid on the table.
After reading and referring several petitions, &c. the House adjourned.
FRIDAY, JAN. 17.
Mr. Cole presented the petition of John Bryan, a soldier in the late American army, praying compensation of services, referred to the Secretary at War.
Mr. Speaker laid before the House a memo-
rial from A. G. Fraunces, a citizen of New-York, praying that a copy of the report of the select committee, respecting his former memorial, may be delivered to him.
A motion was made by Mr. Gibbs to take up the report on that business, but it was withdrawn, and the consideration thereof suspended for some time.
Agreeably to the order of the day the House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole, on the bill making appropriations for the civil list, for the current year. After some time spent in the business, the committee rose, reported progress, and had leave to sit again.
Agreeably to a resolution proposed by Mr. Baldwin, a committee of five members are to examine the state of defects, on former appropriations, expediency of appropriations for the present year, and the causes of the encroaching excess.
MONDAY, JAN. 20.
The Speaker laid before the House a memorial from the yearly meeting of the people called Quakers, for N. England, held in the state of Rhode-Island, from the 15th to the 18th of June, 1793. This memorial was laid for consideration; the prayer of it was against the African slave trade, and concluding with this emphatic declaration, that it is "righteousness which exalteth a nation."
Mr. Fitzsimons, from the Committee appointed for the purpose, brought in a report which was read the first time, and by special order read a second time; 150 copies of it to be printed, and referred to the committee of the whole House, on the state of the Union.
The above report contains an estimate of the naval force sufficient to protect the American commerce from the piratical cruizers of the Algerines, stating that 4 frigates of 44 guns each, with 320 men to each frigate, and 2 20 gun ships, would effectually answer the purpose. The Committee recommend an additional duty on tonnage, and on sundry articles of merchandise, as the means for effecting this object, concluding with a resolution that a committee be appointed to bring in a bill conformably to the report.
Mr. Fitzsimons, made a motion, that the Committee appointed for the purpose of bringing in an estimate for the defence of the harbors of the United States, should be augmented by five or six members, so as to constitute a Committee of one member for every state in the Union: This motion was agreed to.
Mr. Smith (S. C.) observed, that a letter had been missing, in the parcel lately printed by order of the House, and moved that the President of the United States be requested to cause search to be made for the same; this was agreed to, and a committee appointed to wait on the President for that purpose.
A message from the President of the United States, by Mr. Secretary Dandridge, was received, which being read, purported, that the letters which he sent to France, relative to the recall of the French Minister was received, "that his conduct was unequivocally disapproved of, and that his recall would be expedited, without delay."
The House, agreeably to the order of the day, resolved itself into a committee of the whole House, Mr. Trumbull in the Chair, on the bill for completing and better supporting the military establishment of the United States—and after some time spent in the business, the Committee rose and reported the bill with sundry amendments, which were taken up in the House, read, and laid for consideration.
The Speaker laid before the House a letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, covering a communication from the Commissioner of the revenue, relative to the duty on spirits distilled within the United States, ordered to lie for consideration; after which the House adjourned.
FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Sitting of October 22.
Report from Toulon, October 11.
"AT Toulon the force of our enemies in ships is 25 frigates, or armed ships: 200 cannoners have been sent on shore from the ships, for the protection of the forts. There are 2000 English soldiers, 2000 Spanish, 1500 Savoyards, 5000 Neapolitans, 2000 Sclavonians in all, about 10,700 men."
"The report is common at Toulon, that a large convoy is daily expected there, with 6000 Portuguese, 6000 Spaniards, and 2000 more English."
"The 14,000 whom they expect added to the 10,700 already at Toulon will form an army of from 21 to 25,000 men; and as soon as these corps are joined, the plan is to make a forte in force, in order to march to Aix, where they mean to re-establish the old Parliament. It must nevertheless be observed, that out of 24 or 25,000 men, they must garrison all the forts, and that in consequence, more than 14 or 15,000 cannot make the sortie."
"Le Commerce de Bourdeaux et le Commerce de Marseilles, are ready to set out for Naples, to take on board the Count D'Artois, Monsieur and the Bishop of Toulon."
"A quantity of Patriots have been embarked for the mines of Spain; the number reported (certainly exaggerated) is 6000, including those who are daily imprisoned, which Lamihas has seen with his own eyes. The revolution must not be mentioned at Toulon, since the Gentlemen and the English govern, and all French citizens are disarmed. They no longer wish for the constitution of 1789, as at the first epoch of their wickedness, but they actually desire the ancient regiment with all its attributes. When Carteaux arrived at Marseilles, the forts of Toulon where almost naked, and were not furnished till some time afterward."
"The rope-yard of the arsenal is prepared for 1000 Spanish horses which they expect, above which the troops are to be lodged. When the last convoy which they expect shall be arrived, the plan is, to attack the army of Carteaux rather than of Italy; because, say they, we will immolate the army of Carteaux, which is composed only of banditti, and without troops of the line, under the walls of Toulon."
"Forty transports to provision the city, are dispatched under the escort of some ships of the line."
"At Toulon they have taken the names of proprietors of houses which had assignats, with a promise to reimburse them half, after the loan that is going to be opened at Genoa, at the same time that this Republic will be required to declare itself."
"Horses are wanting at Toulon as they have not been able to find more than fifty to mount some French deserters, of whom M. Arran d'Aix is to be commander. Assignats do not pass there, except for bread, which is the only article at a low price; and, in spite of the publications, the bakers take them only because they are forced to do so:—Their provisions are bacon and salt meat. The burghers of the town have no sort of command."
"A number of Emigrants flock in daily; but no Frenchmen are employed for the military service, but as it is absolutely necessary. The aristocrats are mostly employed in the general committees of the sections and other superior offices."
[Several names are here inserted as marked objects of vengeance. They are those who are principally employed in the sections.]
"The people employed in the arsenal are those who were formerly pensioned by the ancient tyrant, and sold to despotism. Our sailors are daily imprisoned; and it will be difficult to set the English squadron on fire, because the ships lie so much aunder."
"The redoubt of Fort Pharon is guarded by 400 English and Spaniards. They are daily strengthening this redoubt."
"The tree of Liberty has been changed into a gibbet for the patriots and the rest of it has been burnt."
"LOUIS XVII has been proclaimed King."
"The address of the National Convention against Toulon, has been stuck up in the most conspicuous part of the town, but in a different sense to the original; and the Toulonaise are made to believe, that several adjoining towns have assumed the white cockade that there is no longer a convention—and that the army of Vendee is at Paris."
Here the reporter developed all the misfortunes which the Republic has sustained. He imputes them to the cowardice and corruption of the commanders—the egotism and bad disposition of a great number of citizens—and the impunity of the towns of Longwy and Verdun, which, laid he, have occasioned the infamous reduction of Condé, Valenciennes and La Queſnay. BARRERE proposed, and the assembly passed the following decrees:
1 st . Decree. "The Convention does not in the least degree derogate from the decrees of the Legislative Assembly, which orders the destruction of any place that shall surrender without having stood an assault."
2 d . Decree. "When a city shall have been declared in a state of rebellion, there shall no longer be any public establishment, foundery, or arsenal in that city."
3 d . Decree. "The laws are already enacted for the sequestration, administration &c. of the effects of the Toulonaise, rebels, shall apply to the effects of the Toulonaise."

LATEST European Intelligence. Via NEW-YORK.
FRANCE. NATIONAL CONVENTION, October 26.
A letter was read from Gen. Carteaux, commanding the army before Toulon, dated Oct. 17. The Gen. announces, that at the moment when the Republican army was rejoicing at the taking of Lyons, the enemy presented themselves in five columns, to the number of about 5000 men, to cut off the army in two points at once; but that they had been repulsed with such vigor, that they were obliged to fly faster than they first advanced, with the loss of about 300 men either killed or wounded; our loss consists of 26 men slightly wounded, and 6 killed. October 27.
A deputation from the inhabitants of the department of La Vendee, returned thanks to the Convention for having restored them to liberty, by the defeat and dispersion of the horde of rebellious Royalists, who for three years had convulsed that Department, and desolated the country with fire and sword.
BRUMPT, (in Alsace) Oct. 26. The career of our success is checked. We have been most unexpectedly stopped by an army of 50,000 French who have advantageously posted themselves near Strasbourg, and entrenched towards the side of the Saverne. Gen. Wurmsier, sees himself reduced to the necessity of acting on the defensive, as well as the Prussians on this side of Saverne, who have been obliged to fall back, and support themselves by the right wing of the Austrian army. We imagine that a general action is now indispensable, as we cannot remain eight days in our present position, without the most eminent hazard, and we have no longer any thing to hope from the favorable disposition of the people of Strasbourg. Our negotiations were discovered; and the commissioners from the Convention have so effectually intimidated all those who were inclined to open the gates to us—so many of them have indeed been seized, and so many more denounced—that we dread the fate of our incursion. This astonishing army of Republicans has been formed in three days, and it swells like a torrent. They are half armed, and want every thing but an enthusiasm for liberty, which perhaps is better than our discipline. Our hope is, that the Swiss Cantons will at length give up their system of neutrality, and declare against these anar-chists.
NAMUR, Nov. 2.
By report of the peasants, it seems that there has been a very warm action between Gen. Beaulieu and the French the day before yesterday, in the neighborhood of Philippeville. The loss of the Austrians alone is estimated at between two and three thousand men.—Waggons are gone from hence to bring in the wounded, for whom it will be difficult to find place, as the hospitals are already full; three large convents have also been converted into hospitals.
We have here about 5,000 sick and wounded; but at Brussels the number is much more considerable: so that to find linen cloth for binding up the wounds, has become an object of difficulty in the present distressed state of the Austrian finances. In consequence of which, an advertisement was inserted in the Journal de la Cure, inviting his majesty's loyal subjects to send rags, linen, &c. to the different hospitals.
GREFFERN, (on the Rhine) Oct. 20.
Fort Louis is summoned, but the Governor declares he will defend it to the last extremity. Preparations are therefore making for its instant bombardment.
LEGHORN, Oct. 10.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany has at length renounced his neutrality, and declared war against France. His manifesto is, however, not yet published.
The French Consul who resides here, is ordered to withdraw, and take with him all the citizens of his nation. Yesterday evening the arms of the French Republic were removed from the door of his house.
VIENNA, Oct. 20.
Lieutenant Count GALLERNBERG arrived here yesterday, preceded by 33 postilions, with the news of the capture of the lines of Weissenbourg.
The most serious preparations are making for a third campaign. Galicia alone will furnish 17,000 men.
The States of Hungary have offered a fresh army of 50,000 men to the emperor.
OSTEND, NOVEMBER 1.
The Carthaginians that besieged Nieuport, have been glad to make good their retreat to Cassel and Dunkirk. There is not a Frenchman on this side the latter place. The damage which they did to Nieuport does not prove to be so great as was at first apprehended. The chief attack was on the 25th ult. It commenced at 7 in the morning, and continued till night. The artillery from our ramparts did great execution, the very first discharge set fire to a brew-house and stable, behind which the French had entrenched themselves, and it was speedily reduced to ashes.
The loss of the republicans cannot be ascertained, as they carried off their killed and wounded, a few excepted, whom they left upon the ground.
The four 24 pounders and two howitzers which they left behind them, together with a vast quantity of shot and balls, are now in the square at Nieuport. The enemy suffered much from five ships of war, which lay off Nieuport, and flanked them.
LONDON, Nov. 7.
The province of Buenos Ayres, in Spanish
America, has subscribed the sum of 15 millions of piasters to his Catholic Majesty to carry on the war against France.
NOV. 9. Yesterday an account was received from the army of his Royal Highness the Duke of York, by a gentleman who left his head-quarters on Sunday last. The army was in the highest health and spirits. The prince of SAXE COBOURG was doing his utmost to bring the French to a general action, which there were some hopes of his being able to accomplish.
The British land forces, horse and foot, in different parts of the world, amount at present to 60 thousand, and are to be increased to 85,000 effective men.
NOVEMBER 16.
LANDAU.
Accounts received from Manheim, of the 14th inst. give a confirmation of the raising of the siege of Landau. After a short bombardment in the night of the 31st of October, the Prussians on the 1st of November, withdrew their artillery from the batteries, and returned to their camp determined to take the town by famine only.
The French are stated not only to have received reinforcements on the river Saar, but they have even made movements against the cordon of Prussian troops; the latter were obliged to retreat to Pirmasens. This is said to render the position of the Austrians very precarious in exposing their right. Reports even went so far as to assert, that the Prussians had been obliged to evacuate the post of Pirmasens, but which is not confirmed as yet.
TOULON.
Yesterday Capt. Cooke, of the Spitfire sloop, arrived at the admiralty office, with dispatches from Lord Hood at Toulon, which place he left on the 31st of Oct. His dispatches are dated the 30th; but from the silence observed respecting their contents, we fear they are not of the most agreeable nature.
General O'Hara had arrived there from Gibraltar, with a reinforcement of troops; and the combined forces, composing the garrison, amounted to 15,000 men who were in good health, well provided, and in high spirits.—The Republican army was increasing so rapidly, that the allies in a few days expected to be in a state of siege. A misunderstanding is said to have arisen between the British and Spanish Admirals, relative to the command of Toulon.
The French inhabitants of Toulon, seeing the growing state of the Republicans around them, and justly dreading the fate that must await them on the capture of the place, expressed a desire of being removed out of the town; and accordingly, numbers of them have been sent to parts in Italy, to Spain, and to England, where they will soon, present a body of new claimants on the benevolence of the associations, who have taken upon them, in imitation of the affiliated clubs of France, to do the business of parliament, and raise the supplies of the year.
NOV. 17.
We are sorry to hear the Courageux of 74 guns, one of the British vessels engaged in the action before St. Florentz, in Corsica then received so much injury that she sunk before she could reach a port to refit: The crew, with most of the ammunition, &c. was however previously removed. The Courageux was an old vessel, having been taken from the French in the war before the last.
The Paris papers of the 15th instant, assert, that the Thames frigate has been carried into Brest.
A very large French frigate of 42 guns, is taken by a Spanish 50 gun ship off Cape Ortugal, and sent into Cadiz. Both ships suffered much in the action. The Frenchman is named Roussillon, or Rossignole.
PLYMOUTH, Nov. 13.
By letters received here we have advice that Earl Howe's fleet are cruising off the Lizard; some of the ships have received damage, which will cause their return to port very soon.
LISBON, Oct. 20.
The Captains of the American vessels at Lisbon, desirous to make an acknowledgement to their friend and fellow citizen EDWARD CHURCH, Consul of the United States at this port, for the very eminent and happy service he has rendered to them in obtaining a convoy from her Majesty of Portugal, gave him an elegant entertainment at the principal hotel in this city: After dinner the following toasts were drank:
1. The Queen and Royal Family of Portugal. 2. The land we reside in. 3. The United States of America. 4. GEORGE WASHINGTON—may his successors in office imitate his virtues, and aim to be as useful to their country. 5. Thomas Jefferson, and all the true friends to the rights of man throughout the globe. 6. Our true friends and allies; may success, unity, peace, liberty and prosperity, speedily crown their glorious struggles. 7. Fidelity and competent abilities, to all the servants of the people. 8. May the flame of American liberty never be extinguished by British Engines. 9. May the citizens of the United States never acknowledge any God or King of man's making. 10. St. Tammany; may he always stand first in the list of American tutelary Saints. 11. May the towering Eagle of America disdain to stoop to be tied by ribbands, or to button-holes. 12. Freedom to the Press, and independence to the Printers. 13. The Fair of America; may they honour merit, and merit honour. 14. May no crown be ever valued above a dollar and ten cents in America. 15. May the professed enemies to African slavery never sell themselves.
Domestic Intelligence.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 20.
The wonderful alacrity with which fabricated news are circulated in order to misinform the public of the real state of things in Europe, is no small evidence of the designs of their authors. But the citizens of the United States cannot be disposed to thank those who are perpetually deceiving them. When great events take place, they will be known here by the usual channels of communications; the anticipation of events frequently lead to disappointments, and does more injury than good to that cause on the side of which they are anticipated.
They can answer no other purpose than to give a temporary aid; when they are afterwards found to be false, and fabricated with improper views, they produce a permanent evil.
The great news of last Tuesday, which the public were amused with, and which Mr. GENET tells us prevented the Congress from staying in their sitting, turns out to be without foundation, notwithstanding the Extraordinary Gazette of Sunday, which indeed defeats itself.
If the intelligence was calculated to have any influence on certain measures depending, the folly of such a project is obvious, for the speedy contradiction must convince the reflecting, how dangerous it is to suffer the shifting and varying hazards of war in Europe to weigh in the decision of great national acts.
An independent nation should pursue its own policy and not suffer the measures on which its prosperity depends to shake in the wind from every breath of rumour. Miserably dependent indeed should we be on European politics if the gain or the loss of a battle is to be the standard of merit and the rule of decision in great questions of government.
The events of war are fluctuating; in a war, like that in Europe, a great victory on one day is counterbalanced by a great defeat on another—the capture of a town in one quarter is an offset against that of another in another quarter, and it may be years before the ultimate decision of the contest will be seen.
In the mean time, whatever private sentiments may prompt, public measures should steadily follow up the true national interest of the United States, without a deviation, occasioned by this victory, or that defeat. Thus, while the great powers of the world are weakening themselves by war, this happy country will be strengthening itself by peace. Unless this guarded and steady policy be pursued, we shall, by entangling ourselves with hazardous connexions, blast all our prospects of peace and put ourselves back where we were in 1782.
JANUARY 24.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Gibraltar, dated Nov. 26, 1793, to a mercantile house in Baltimore.
A few days ago a Portuguese frigate arrived here from Algiers, with dispatches for the Court of Portugal, and brings us a certain account, that all the Algerine cruisers were returned into port, with no less than eleven American prizes, say, 4 ships, 5 brigs, and 2 schooners, also three large Genoa Polacres, all loaded with valuable cargoes of wheat, flour, tobacco, sugar, coffee, &c. We have not been able to procure the names of all the American vessels, and only know of two, the ship called the President, belonging to Philadelphia, and ship Thomas of Boston: however, there are letters from all the Captains on board the frigate, in a packet directed for Messrs. _____, of Lisbon, which we could not take upon us to open.
FURTHER.
The Algerine fleet was again preparing to go out on a second cruise, and would be more numerous than the first.
JANUARY 27.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house at Gibraltar, to their correspondent in Baltimore, dated the 26th of Nov. 1793, received per the brig Rover, Capt. Smith.
We are informed that there were three English gentlemen, passengers on board some of the American vessels, taken and carried into Algiers; and having no passports from the British Consul, they are considered as slaves, and must remain so until they are redeemed; one of them is Mr. M'Namara.
All the Captains of the Algerine cruisers have been dismissed and punished, for returning into port contrary to their orders, having been fitted out for six months, and others are appointed in their room; so that their next cruise will not be a short one.—We have certain accounts of all the cruisers being ready for sea the 10th inst. and resolved to push to
the westward again with all possible speed; however, your vessels will have some days the start of them, and we hope will arrive safe.
We see no prospect of the present unfortunate war with France, being near at an end; though attacked in every quarter by almost all the powers in Europe; they are making surprising exertions of defence. Toulon continues in possession of the English and Spanish squadrons, with a strong garrison of troops; notwithstanding we should not be surprised if it was retaken this winter, as the French are bringing down a strong army to attack it.
The King of Naples, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and Genoa, have all declared war against the French, so that they seem to have no friends left in Europe. We hope and trust that America will not be involved in the war; if a strict neutrality is observed on their part, we have no doubt it will be permitted.
From a late French Paper.
PARIS, NOV. 7. Madame ROLAND, is at present on her trial before the revolutionary tribunal. Her behaviour is firm, and her answers to the questions put to her, evince much presence of mind.
Tailfer, the deputy, has been denounced in the Jacobin club, for having married an aristocratic woman.
NEW-YORK, Jan. 18.
A child, said to be about 12 years old, was on Wednesday committed to gaol, for counterfeiting a check upon the bank, which he had presented, and for which it is said he had received about 50 dollars.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in London, to his friend in this city, dated October 18.
It gives me real pleasure as a friend to America to find that you are not likely to be involved in the European war. The conduct of your Executive is very much applauded by all descriptions of people here; and I hope no circumstance will arise to disturb the harmony that subsists between the two countries. I believe whatever may be the decisions in the court of Admiralty, justice will be done the parties injured by captures.
In a London Gazette Extraordinary, dated October 23, we have a long pompous detail of the proceedings of the English at Toulon, under the signature of Mulgrave, the acting Brigadier-General. The amount of the story is, that the French, with two masked batteries, containing in the whole five guns, at the head of the inner harbor, had fired all day at an English frigate and gun-boat. That on the next day, they opened a fresh battery, (with how many guns, we do not know) and that his majesty's ship St. George and a second gun-boat, cannonaded the French the whole day, and at last silenced the batteries. But alas, an English gun-boat was sunk. Soon after the English General sent 500 men, he himself with Admiral Gravina, all the Spanish Colonels and some French Engineers attending them, to take possession of a rising ground, to prevent such annoyance in future. They set out at midnight—landed—got behind some trunks of trees—fought an hour, when the French left the ground—and the English return is, one rank and file killed, with a few wounded. To sum up the whole, the best part of the news is, that 2000 of the very best troops of Sardinia had arrived, and 4000 more were soon expected—so that the English felt comfortable security.
This is almost equal to Col. Leslie's expedition from Boston, to Salem in 1774.
So in one ship was Leslie bold, Crammed with three hundred men in hold Equipped for enterprize and sail, Like Jonas flowed in womb of whale, To Marblehead in depth of night, The cautious vessel winged her flight. And now the Sabbath's silent day Called all your Yankees off to pray; Removed each prying jealous neighbor, The scheme and vessel fell in labor; Forth from its hollow womb poured hastily, The Myrmidons of Colonel Leslie; Not thicker o'er the blackened strand, The frog detachment rushed to land, Equipped for onset or surprise, To form the entrenchment of the mice. Thro' Salem strait without delay, The bold battalion took its way; Marched o'er a bridge in open fight, Of several Yankees armed for fight; Then without loss of time or men, Veered round for Boston back again; And found so well their projects thrive, That every foul got home alive!

C. reports that a French 20 gun ship and an English 18 gun frigate had a severe action near the harbor; that the English ship was taken and bro't into Charleston; in consequence of which a riot took place between the French and English on their arrival, and that the city constable was killed in suppressing the fracas."

Extract of a letter from Baltimore, Jan. 19.
"The new ship Harriot, Capt. Norman, arrived here yesterday from Havre-de-Grace, which place he left the 7th of November, the Captain, whom I have conversed with, contradicts the account of the Duke of York's being a prisoner, and the re-capture of Toulon. He gives a favorable account of French affairs generally, says they are building 8 or 10 large frigates at Havre, and a number of flat bottomed boats, for the purpose of making a descent on the English coast—that while he lay there, they built and compleated a frigate of 44 guns ready for sea in 42 days. What cannot those people do?"
"The captain of the British frigate Penelope, used Captain Barney very ill, calling him rascal and scoundrel, &c. collaring him, and threatening to put him in irons. He was actually confined between decks during the passage, and when he arrived in Jamaica, was ignominiously thrown into the common jail, Captain Barney however, expected to be taken out soon, and to be admitted to wait on the Governor."
The Norfolk and Portsmouth General Advertiser contains the following:—"A correspondent remarks, that certain persons were very active in preventing a French privateer from re-fitting in this port, and wishes to be informed, if the commander of a British Frigate can, consistent with our treaty with France, enlist men in the ports of the United States? The government of South-Carolina has forbid an armed force to be levied within that State on account of the French Republic—The British Frigate Dædalus may enlist men, to serve against that Republic and every one is silent—no representations are made to the Executive on this subject—O TEMPORA, O MORES!"
Extract of a letter from Norfolk, Jan. 16, to a respectable house in this city,
"This moment arrived here an armed ship from Brest, which she left the 21st November; believes she is sent with dispatches for the French merchant ships in our ports; the Captain tells me things look well in France; that only war was breathed; 150 to 200,000 men were gone against Toulon; that 4 of the French ships taken there had been sent to Brest, and two other ports, with 6000 seamen, which they did not wish to keep prisoners, but were sent back to their homes; that on their arrival, fearing they were intended for other purposes, such as were suspicious characters, were imprisoned, and the ships of course taken into service again; the Jupiter, &c. from your city were all arrived."
Extract of a letter from a Captain of a vessel belonging to this town, dated at Gibraltar, 27th Nov. to his owner.
"I arrived here in the night of the 24th inst. which is all that saved me from going to Algiers. The Streights are full of cruisers, and are often seen from the rock—there has been seven cruisers out of the Streights, and have taken seven American vessels—there are sixteen cruisers expected out, if this east wind lasts three days."
BALTIMORE, Jan. 18.
By Captain Jones of the Schooner Portu-Prinne, who arrived here on Wednesday, from Jeremie, we are informed that he sailed from thence on the 4th, Cape Nichola Mole bearing South ten leagues, he saw a sail to the Northward, with the English flag at her main-topmast-head.—At two, P. M. she boarded him and hoisted Spanish colours; there were seven men in the boat, four of them blacks; they called the Schooner Dorothy, and the captain Manuel; she mounted four guns, two and four pounders, they opened captain Jones' trunk, took out all his letters and papers and about two hundred and fifty dollars belonging to different passengers on board, fifty dollars of the captain's, and plundered the sailors and officers of their wearing apparel. They searched the unfortunate passengers and every thing they had of value was taken from them by the pirates. On the 5th ult. was boarded by a Spanish privateer Schooner of six guns, who also robbed captain Jones, his passengers and crew of all they had left from the first pillage. Took captain Jones on board their vessel, prepared an instrument of writing and desired him to sign it, which he refused—they then threatened to take his life, and would, he believes, have stabbed
him had he not consented to put his name to what they had wrote—after which they were permitted to depart.

HARTFORD Jan. 27.
A correspondent requests us to tell Mr. GENET, to console him for his late mistake, the following story. Some years ago, when New-England men were so weak as to pray in their families, a gentleman employed a man to take care of his affairs, to whose lot it fell during his master's absence to officiate as chaplain. This good man used sometimes to get stuck; and in order to extricate himself, would repeat a certain sentence two or three times. The gentleman had a little son, a sad rogue, who listening one night, discovered the old man's confusion, and when he had said the same thing three times, and still did not get a head, could not restrain his feelings, but called out—"That's right Uncle Joe, over with it again."

Extract of a letter from Liverpool, dated Nov. 8, to a gentleman in this town, received via London.
"Your ship with all the Americans in port is now taken up to go to the southward, in order to take a freight back here, which prevents my shipping your order, and I find it is impossible to ship it very soon, unless some vessel should arrive with positive orders to return immediately to your ports, as all vessels are going southward, on account of such advantageous freights being offered."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his friend in New-York dated January 14, 1794.
"Great preparations are making for something, about which we must remain in doubt for some time. _____ has received orders for some thousands of tents, and _____, an agent for government, has bought up all the lead in the city; but whether it is to make cisterns in Washington, or bullets for Europeans, I will not dare to determine."

Extract of a letter dated Havre-de-Grace 1st Nov. 1793, to a Merchant in Philadelphia.
"You will receive intelligence of the misfortunes of France, when we shall be no more; the most cruel war abroad as well as inward is making among us the horrid-est ravages; the most tremendous famine is our prospect, God knows whether we shall avoid it. In this state of affairs none can mind his friends interests, I shall do for yours what the fear of the Guillotine constantly over our heads may permit. Your indigoes and coffee are in my warehouse, I with them in yours still. Our friend H. at Rouen is arrested, and confined without known cause, the shipper of our goods from Bourdeaux is hid away, the vessel (tho' American, and tho' she brought a large cargo of provisions,) is detained and at anchor in the Gironde; what will become of the shipper, ship and cargo, God only knows; you are unlucky in your speculations, God grant that we may live for each other."
"Write me without reflections on the present circumstances, I dare only to add that Genet is re-called. I fear as bad a one may be appointed without so much abilities."
Extract of a letter from Philadelphia, dated January 21.

Mr. Ames' opinion of the friendly disposition of Great-Britain, is now verified by a letter which has been received from London by a Merchant in this town, of the date of the 16th of November; in which it is said that the next day orders will issue to take all neutral vessels bound to or from French ports.
Mr. Ames says the British Government is a friendly Government. Query—When was he not of this same opinion?
Mr. Goodhue says, the British are not friendly, but that we must submit—which must we believe?

IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS.
A motion was made in the Senate of the United States, on the 16th ult. and they came to the following Resolutions; which is supposed will be carried.
RESOLVED, That in all representative governments, the Representatives are responsible for their conduct to their constituents, who are entitled to such information, that a discrimination and just estimate be made thereof.
Resolved, That the Senate of the United States being the Representatives of the sovereignities of the individual States, whose basis is the people, owe equal responsibility to the powers by which they are appointed, as if that body was derived immediately from the people, and that all questions and debates arising thereupon in the legislative and judiciary capacity, ought to be public.
Resolved, That the mode adopted by the Senate of publishing their journals and extracts from them, in Newspapers, is not adequate to the purpose of circulating satisfactory information—While the principles and designs of the individual members are withheld from public view, responsibility is destroyed, which on the publicity of their deliberations would be restored; the Constitutional powers of the Senate become more important, in being more influential
over the other branch of the Legislature; abuse of power; mal-administration of office more easily detected, and corrected; jealousies rising in the public mind from secret legislation prevented; and greater confidence placed by our fellow citizens in the national government, by which their lives, liberties, and properties are to be secured and protected.
Resolved, Therefore, that it be a standing rule that the doors of the Senate chamber remain open while the Senate shall be sitting in a legislative and judiciary capacity, except on such occasions as in their judgment may require secrecy; and that this rule commence on the day of
Piscataqua-Bridge.
THE Treasurer of the

SONG.
To the tune of the exalted SONG composed on the illustrious Hero Montgomery.
ON GALLIA's shore! with lustre bright, See smiling FREEDOM shed her light; To arms, to arms, they cry, Victory crowns the cause of FRANCE, As veteran troops their lines advance, They helter skelter, fly.
BRUNSWICK retreated from the field, The DUKE of YORK his army wheel'd, Whilst slaughter strew'd the way: Fierce vengeance fir'd each PATRIOT breast, MONARCHAL slaves they sunk to rest, And thousands prostrate lay.
Thus may defeat divert each isle, Whilst HEAVEN propitious deigns to smile, And bless its own decree: May slaves to veteran knaves, with FRANCE, Unite, and end the glorious dance In making EUROPE free.
AMERICA rejoice, 'tis thine To invoke that GOD the all DIVINE, Who fleers CREATION's helm, E'er many years revolve in time, To raise this glorious cause sublime, And tyrants overwhelm.
Charge high the glass, push round the bowl, Success to every FREEDOM foul, Friends to the "Rights of MAN," They merit more than our applause, Who free themselves from despot's laws, And veteran precepts scan.
All in full chorus join and sing, Destruction dislocate each KING, NOBILITY prostrate; Grim wretchedness their brows entwice, And punish'd by the GUILLOTINE, In justice be their fate.
Artificers of each degree, Hear this inscription from the FREE, As from the King supreme, FRANCE will triumphantly rise, Extirpate all their enemies, Who dare oppose their theme.
In wishing well to ALL MANKIND, We hope thy superstition blind; May soon converted be, When every thing is brought to light, Convinc'd that FRANCE conducted right, You'll join our Jubilee.
