OFFICIAL LETTERS
to the Hon. American Congress, written during the War, between the United Colonies and Great-Britain, by his Excellency,
George Washington,
Commander in Chief of the Continental Forces, now President of the United States. Copied, by special permission from the original papers, preserved in the Office of the Secretary of State, Philadelphia. 2 vols. 2 dols.
Respecting the source from which the following letters have been drawn, and the grounds on which the reader expects to rest his belief of their authenticity, it may be sufficient to inform him, that permission was obtained from the proper authority, to transcribe, from the original papers preserved in the Secretary of State's Office, in Philadelphia, these, and sundry other documents, relating to the contest between Great-Britain and the United States.
The reasoning, philosophic reader, will, from a perusal of these letters, be able to explore the secret springs of action, during the contest, to trace events to their remote and latent causes, and to discover and examine the subordinate and collateral circumstances (so trifling in appearance, and generally overlooked by the vulgar eye) which in the struggle of contending nations, gave a preponderancy to the one or the other scale. They contain a History of the leading events of the war, and the heroism, love of country, and many amiable virtues which are conspicuous in almost every letter, would, were it possible, tend to endear the name and memory of the author, to his grateful countrymen, and the world of mankind.

DRESSING IN MOURNING.
TO THE PRINTERS IN THE UNITED STATES.
Gentlemen,
As your employment gives you the means of great influence in our country, it is of great importance that you should be wise and good men; that you should improve your influence in promoting the best interest and real welfare of our rising nation. A wise and good Printer will suppress whatever has a tendency to irreligion, injustice, and, immorality of every kind, because these tend only to injury the people. It is idle and false, for any to pretend that liberty, include a right to promote vices, or to injure the public, or individuals; the Printers have a right to judge of the propriety of publishing what is offered to them. This right like all others, is often abused. It requires great industry, and much discernment, to make useful collections from the mass of publications, and manuscripts, in order to furnish a good newspaper.—In America, it is acknowledged there are more papers published, for the number of people, than in any part of the world, and that there is more useful information in them. Still it must be confessed there are too many lean, and too many scurrilous pieces in some American papers. This, Gentleman, claims your attention. An improvement in newspapers, is a prelude to general reformation. So long as the public prints hold up the light of truth the people will be free and virtuous.
Where vices and tyranny have prevailed, the newspapers were corrupted. Therefore, Gentlemen, it is hoped you may shine as lights in the American hemisphere, and from time to time, shew the people the path of wisdom, where dwell true freedom and happiness.
At this time I would mention one error in my countrymen, which prevails to our shame and poverty—the growing fashion of dressing in mourning. This is to our disgrace, and gives mortification to every true lover of this country.
During the Revolution, an economical fashion, truly republican, was established, and all classes wore it; this was only a piece of crape or black ribbon on the head of women. This American fashion did honor to our country, while at the same time, it saved the property of the people. The President of the United States, some of the governors and first rulers, have continued the fashion to this day. But great numbers of unreflecting, persons have thoughtlessly returned again to an imitation of the contrary. The articles worn for mourning, are imported from Europe, for which our money is exported. This is a serious misfortune; for the sum is very great which is every year wasted for this trumpery.
Let us act more like Americans, and save our honor and money. We ought to have our own fashions, and the most frugal ones. To be imitators, of European, and to our own loss, is disgraceful. Our pride, as well as our reason, forbids this servile practice. AMERICANS! assert YOURSELVES, act with independent minds; be no longer the dupes of a filthy fashion. Elect no man to any office who is guilty of this littleness of conduct, thereby you will preserve your national dignity, and MILLIONS of your money!
AN AMERICAN.
MORAL SENTIMENTS.—
Addressed to Youth.
LET not the season of youth be barren of improvements, so essential to your felicity and honor. Your character is now of your own forming; your fate is in some measure put into your own hands. Your nature is as yet pliant and soft. Habits have not established their dominion. Prejudices have not pre-occupied your understanding. The world has not had time to contract and debase your affections. All your powers are more vigorous, disembarrassed and free than they will be at any future period. Whatever impulse you now give to your desires and passions, the direction, is likely to continue. It will form the channel in which your life is to run; nay, it may determine an everlasting issue. Consider then the employment of this important period as the highest trust which shall ever be committed to you; as in a great measure, decisive of your happiness, in time and in eternity. As in the succession of the seasons, each, by the invariable laws of nature, affects the productions of what is next in course; so, in human life, every period of our age, according as it is well or ill spent, influences the happiness of that which is to follow. Virtuous youth gradually brings forward accomplished and flourishing manhood: and such manhood passes of itself, without uneasiness, into respectable and tranquil old age. But when nature is turned out of its regular course, disorder takes place in the moral, just as in the vegetable world. If the spring put forth no blossoms, in summer there will be no beauty, and in autumn no fruit: So, if youth be trifled away without improvement, manhood will be contemptible, and old age miserable.
ANECDOTE.
SOME gentlemen being at a tavern together, for want of better diversion, one proposed play, but, said another in the company, I have fourteen good reasons against gaming. What are those? said another. In the first place, answered he, I HAVE NO MONEY: OH! said the first, if you had four hundred reasons, you need not name another.
From the CENTINEL.
Mr. RUSSELL,
THE following elegant lines from the summing up of "the Echo, No. xviii," in the last Connecticut Courant—They ought to have general circulation, as they need only to be read to be admired.
A. B.
SUMMING UP.
Washington, how stands thy dauntless breast! Do scenes like these disturb thy nightly rest? Tho' Charleston mob, like lice in Egypt, swarms, Tho' Rutledge rages, and tho' Pinckney storms, Tho' Bache and Mason join to print, and sell, Tho' Hydrop Blair "the Treaty kicks to hell," Tho' thieves and Livingstons with patriot ire, Commit the accursed paper to the fire, Tho' Jarvis thundering from his murky cloud, Sheds night and terror o'er the astonished crowd Yet shall thy heart, so often us'd to share Dangers and toils too great for Man to bear, Shrink back appall'd, its firmness all resign, When pigmies bluster, and when knaves combine? Illustrious Man! thy indignation shew, And plunge them headlong where they ought to go, Then turn thine eye, this mighty realm survey— See Federal Virtue blest thy glorious sway, See infant states, beneath thy plastic hand Stretch in vast numbers o'er the boundless land, The desert blossom, towns and cities rise, And Peace, and Freedom hail their kindred skies, While all earth's empires, states and kings, behold Millennial scenes of happiness unfold.
The CONTENTED PATRIOT.
CONTENTED I am, and contented I'll be, Tho' writers may argue for ever; For Treaties I care not no more than a flea, If I'm treated with that which is clever.
The power of Orthography and Punctuation.
THE husband of a pious woman having occasion to make a voyage, his wife sent a written request to the parson of the parish; but instead of spelling and pointing it properly, viz.
"A person having gone to sea, his wife desires the prayers of the Congregation."
She spelled and pointed it as follows:
"A person, having gone to see his wife, desires the prayers of the congregation."
The Parson (who had not examined the contents of the paper) gave it out accordingly.
From the SALEM GAZETTE.
ONE of the Emigrants lately arrived in the Eliza, at this port, on jumping ashore, inquired of the spectators if this was the free country he had so often heard of, where one might speak as he thought, and being answered in the affirmative, "Well then, (says he) by J—s success to the French!"
From the ROUEN "EUROPEAN OBSERVER," of June 24, 1795.
NATIONAL CONVENTION, June 25. AT one o'clock, BOISSY D'ANGLAS ascended the tribune, to make the report on the NEW CONSTITUTION.
We shall not follow him through the development which he made of the two Constitutions of 1790, and 1793, of the circumstances in which the Constituent Assembly, and the National Convention, at those periods, were situated, of the views and particular interests of those who presided at the formation of those Constitutions: we shall at this time mention only the principal features of the Constitution which the committee has submitted to the Convention.
"Absolute Equality," said the reporter, "is a chimera; Civil Equality is the only practicable one. We ought to be governed by the best men; and the best [les meilleurs] are to be found only amongst those who have an interest in being so; who have property.—We shall propose to you to decree, that to be eligible to the Legislative Body, a person must possess certain real or landed property, the quantum of which you will fix: This is not intended to embarrass elections, but to procure to the social body a means to purify its choice. We do not think it our duty to propose to you the same condition for the right of voting in elections—all citizens having alike fought for liberty, have an equal right to become part of the social body—the indigent have the same claim to protection as the opulent. Should we retrench from the social body so large a number of citizens (as those without property) we should expose them to become the satellites of the first factious persons who should offer themselves to avenge their outrage. We shall however retrench from this class all domestic servants, as they temporarily lose their rights as citizens; it will be the same with those who cannot read or write, or who possess no mechanic art—Beggars cannot constitute a part of the social body; in fact, no bankrupt, or other citizens, can be a part thereof, unless he is assessed in the contributions."
"We shall propose to you to divide the legislative body into two Councils, whose members will be equally appointed by the people, and who differ only as to their number and age. One, The Council of 500, will propose the Laws; the second, The Council of Ancients,

will confirm them; they will not be perfect until they meet the sanction of the two Councils. We shall give to the Legislative body a duration sufficiently short that liberty may not be exposed, and long enough to avoid the duration of the danger of repeated elections. One half of the Legislative body will be renewed every two years. The members will be re-elective. The renewal of the Convention should be conducted in the same manner; and the Committee will propose a plan of law on this subject. Respecting the tribunes [galleries] the Committee think that the number of persons who may be present at the deliberations of the Legislative body, should never exceed half its members. There will be a departmental force for the protection of the Legislature.
"There will be an Executive Council composed of five Members, without a President. They will invariably wear a distinctive habit [costume] and be furnished with guards. They will be supported and paid in such a manner as to enable them to receive foreign Ambassadors with decency."
The residue of the Constitution relates to objects of local nature—among which the regulation of primary schools, &c. is highly meritorious. The reports are very lengthy, and will, without doubt, be speedily published in a pamphlet.
PAIMBOEUF, June 12.
Loss by Fire.
The following articles are translated from a Nantz paper, of June 24.
Yesterday morning early, a fire broke out on board the ship Aurora, of 600 tons. In an instant, such was its violence, and the wind being at north, it communicated, with a frightful rapidity, to the St. Nicholas, of 450, le Jenni Charles, of 800, le Simple, of 500, l'Alexandre and la Mere Cherie, of 700 and 800 tons, which were consumed. Several other vessels were saved only by cutting their cables, and by the wind changing. The danger to Paimboeuf, was very great; and the inhabitants of the houses near the road, abandoned them with precipitation.
The fire was not wholly extinguished until 8 o'clock, the next evening. The loss in the six vessels burnt, is estimated at about three millions of livres: four American seamen were burned on board the Aurora, being unable to make their escape. The seamen who did escape, were obliged to plunge through the fire, in their shirts, into the water. One of the vessels burnt, was owned in this town, and the Aurora, to Mr. Dabney of New-York. CENTINEL.
Manly Spirit of Freemen.
TRENTON, August 13.
AT a numerous and respectable meeting of the citizens of Trenton and its vicinity, convened on the 13th August 1795, at the State House, General Frelinghuysen, one of the Senators of this State, in the Congress of the United States, attended, and at the request of the citizens present, consented to give his sentiments on the Treaty now pending between the United States and Great Britain; whereupon it was.
Resolved, (without reference to the merits of the said Treaty,) That the meeting have the fullest confidence in the honor, virtue and integrity of Frederick Frelinghuysen, one of the Senators of this State: That this meeting are fully of opinion, that in voting for the said Treaty, he was actuated by the purest principles of patriotism; and that the thanks of this meeting be given to him for the candour with which he has stated the reasons which induced him to vote for the said Treaty.
To the Printer of the New-Jersey State Gazette.
A publication having appeared in the New-Jersey State Gazette of the 4th inst. containing certain resolutions disapproving of the proposed Treaty between the United States and Great Britain, said to have been adopted at a general meeting of the citizens of Trenton and its vicinity, held the 19th day of July, 1795—We the subscribers, citizens of Trenton and its vicinity, not having concurred in, and not approving of the said resolutions, thus publicly testify the same, and declare our entire satisfaction and confidence in the constituted authorities of our country, and our determination to acquiesce in such measures as have been or may be finally adopted relative to the said Treaty by such constituted authorities.
(Here follows a very respectable list of names.)
PHILADELPHIA, August 21.
The following passage in the Emilius Rouffea written upwards of thirty years ago, is very remarkable, as it prophesies in the clearest manner the present political state of Europe—that great man enforcing the plan of bringing up every child to an useful trade or profession, thus addresses the great who he justly supposed would ridicule his system.
"You rely on the present order of things, and you do not perceive that it is subject to unavoidable Revolutions. The great becomes poor, the Monarch becomes a Subject. We are drawing near to a great crisis and to the age of Revolutions—I hold it to be impossible that the great monarchies of Europe should exist much longer.—All that men have done, men may destroy.—There are no indelible characters but those which nature imprints, and nature makes neither princes, nor lords, nor rich men.—Happy the man who will then know how to quit the station that forsakes him, and remain a Man in spite of fate."
EMILIUS, Vol. 2.
N. YORK FEVER.
The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-York, dated August 11, to his brother in this city:
"The fever which you have heard reported to prevail here, is not so bad as has been represented. Our health-officer, Dr. Treat, was the first person who died of any suspected contagious disorder; the next was a Mr. Payne, tide-waiter. The rest who have died, lived in the vicinity of the city, between Peck and New Slip. There have been buried, in about a week, eight or nine persons, five of them supposed of a malignant fever. I have had two of my boys sick, one is recovering, the other continues very ill, has a high fever, severe chills, and a pain in all his bones; but I hope, by the blessing of God, we shall have no more to alarm us, as we had a fine rain on Saturday evening, and this morning we have a fine west wind, which clears the air. I have just seen alderman Beekman, who desired me to inform you, that the committee would receive the reports from the physicians, this evening, and that they would have it printed immediately; so that in a day or two, you may know facts with certainty."
August 19.
Yesterday, the President's Levee was attended by an unusually large number of citizens.
BOSTON, August 24.
From a gentleman of the first mercantile celebrity, we have the following:
From PHILADELPHIA, August 17, 1795. "The face of our public and political affairs, wear a more pleasing aspect than they have done for a while past, and we are in hopes things are getting into a better train."
"The address from your merchants, which has come to the President, has had a precious effect, and strengthened our hands, while we are in the midst of a similar business, which will be completed this day, handsomely, and to general satisfaction. The ratification of the treaty, we believe, will be a happy thing for this country eventually. The honest and well disposed, are perfectly reconciled to it, the country throughout, are passive and flourishing."
"It is rumored that an embargo is about to be laid, and that congress is to be convened immediately on business of importance, (perhaps the late unwarrantable proceedings of the British.) I do not presume to give this information as official: but that there is some foundation for the first supposition, cannot be doubted, from the anxiety which the merchants express, and the extraordinary exertions made, in order to expedite the departure of their vessels."
Extract of a letter (published as authentic) from the PRESIDENT of the U. S. to Mr. LUND WASHINGTON, written in 1776:
"Tell me, Lund, for you have long been privy to my most secret thoughts—trusting to thy native candor, I have never hesitated to lay my heart bare and open to thy inspection—tell me then, am I, do you think, more subject to fears than other men? For I will not conceal it from you, that, at this moment, I feel myself a very coward. Do not mistake me—I thank my God, I have never yet known what it was to fear for any personal danger that might befall me. I am not afraid to die—why should I? I am afraid only to die with infamy and disgrace. And, if I am afraid to die, need I tell you that I am ten thousand times more afraid to live, like Lucifer, a fallen angel. No, Lund, that were too much; beside what will, I cannot, I will not, survive either my misfortunes, or my disgrace. Heaven, knows how truly I love my country."
WEST-INDIES.
A letter from Jeremie dated July 29, published in the Courrier Francois of the 13th inst. says "The English are gradually withdrawing their troops from the quarters which they occupy in St. Domingo, and are replacing them by battalions of negroes, which they have released from the works. The number they have enrolled of the latter amount to more than twelve thousand, and they do not take indiscriminately those which offer themselves, or those which the planters offer; they are too wise to trust to a horde of brigands and spoilors. The agents of his most gracious majesty will have none but the flower of the youth; they select and impress despotically the finest of the blacks. They send them to their depot, where they are instructed in the arts and discipline of soldiers. Many of the plantations are already reduced to one half, others have none left but old men, invalids and children."
This atrocious conduct serves to develope the views of the English government towards this unhappy colony. It is probable that after having destroyed the agriculture and the plantations, they will embark (if the republicans do not compel them to evacuate the Island) all the best negroes, also the women and children.
AUGUST 26.
FROM FRANCE.
By an arrival here from Nantz, on Sunday we have been favored with French papers to the 2d July. They contain an account of the naval action between their fleet, and the British, under Lord Bridport; which differs from that already published in but few particulars. The French say that the English fleet consisted of 22 sail of the line, besides frigates; theirs of but 12 sail of the line, two sixty fours cut down, eight frigates, and a few smaller vessels. They mention the loss of the Formidable, Tyger, and Alexander; and the English fleet still remained in Quiberon-bay—That they had
landed at Croisic, [a town 35 miles between the rivers Loire and Vilaine, W. of Nantz] from five to ten thousand emigrants, who were to join the Chouans, who are still in rebellion in the vicinity of Nantz. Neither of these events appear to depress the spirits of the people in the least.
After the battle, Lord Bridport summoned the French at Bellisle General [Boucret] to surrender, and to acknowledge LOUIS XVII, but the General returned a spirited answer, declaring that he and his soldiers had sworn to die Republicans, that they would perish at their posts, rather than the slaves of England should boast of having possession of Bellisle.
The English Mediterranean fleet, under Admiral Hotham, having appeared between the coasts of France and Minorca, the English Toulon fleet, of 19 sail of the line, had failed in quest of them.
Assignats, as was to be expected, were continually depreciating. On the 26th June, in consequence of a report, that the army of the Rhine had experienced a check, and that Gen. Pichegru was dead, one thousand livres in assignats could be purchased for a guinea; but on the succeeding day, the Committee of Public Safety directed their Secretary to publish a placard, in the following words, "Stockjobbers and Jacobins your hopes are no more, Pichegru is well." In consequence of this, assignats appreciated considerably.
At Nantz, July 2, Flour was from 22 to 24 dollars per barrel, and rice 12 dollars per hundred.
From GEORGIA—AUTHENTIC.
Midway, June 1795.
"There are now two hundred Indians at Beard's Bluff, on the Altamaha river; about fifty of them Chiefs of the Creek nation. They have brought one white woman, whom they have had prisoner in the nation several years; several negroes, and other property which they have taken at different times from our frontiers, and are delivering them to us. Our cavalry, together with a company from Savannah, are now out with them, accompanying Mr. Seagrove, Superintendent, who is holding a treaty, or rather having a talk with them. The Indians, I am told, appear very anxious to be on friendly terms with us. I am informed that the neighbouring nations are at war with them, if so, that may be the cause of their peaceable disposition toward us."
From AUX-CAYES.
Capt. Lovell, from Aux-Cayes, arrived here, was captured by a French privateer, and carried to Jacmel, where, and on the passage, he was plundered of much property. After his vessel was cleared, on application to the commandant, such of the property as could be conveniently found, was returned; but 84 joes were entirely lost to him, and he received no kind of satisfaction or promise of future indemnity from the commandant. He then proceeded to Aux-Cayes, to lay his complaint before the General in Chief, who resided there; but here was discovered as little deference to justice as at Jacmel. The General said he had heard by the way of Baltimore, of the ratification of the treaty with Britain; therefore, that hereafter he should shew no friendship for the Americans—He had, he said, given orders, to the privateers to bring in for condemnation, all American vessels bound to or from British ports. A brig belonging to Baltimore, Capt. Hammet from Jamaica, bound home had just then been brought in a prize. The Captain was confined in prison, and Capt. Lovell, could not obtain permission to visit him. There was no doubt but the vessel would be condemned, for the General had said, she should be condemned.
THE ALGERINES.
We learn by Capt. Folquier, from Lisbon, still continue confined to the Mediterranean by the Portuguese, which court had assured Mr. Church, that they would conclude no peace with them, without giving him three months notice. This is agreeable and authentic information.
THE President of the United States, as an answer to the several anti-treaty proceedings throughout the U. S. has inclosed them a copy of his answer to the Selectmen of this town—a circumstance highly honorable to Boston.
Since our last, Don Joseph De Jaudenes, Envoy from the Court of Spain to the U. S. has arrived in town from the southward.
The Ex-Minister Fauchet, is now no more than any other citizen. He was chosen by Robespierre, during the system of terror; and it is unknown in the United States, why he is recalled, or what the present governing persons can alledge against him. Though his conduct has been irreproachable here; yet as he is deprived of his functions, our Executive are no more bound to interfere in his behalf, than in that of any other Frenchman.
It was reported last evening, that the Medusa French frigate, had left Newport; having previously erected a furnace for heating balls, as she passed the Africa, she saluted her so warmly with hot shot, as to prevent her giving chase. Thus stands the report.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux, to his friend in Philadelphia.
Dated Bourdeaux, June 21, 1795.
"We have advice that the British cruisers are in the Bay of Biscay, and have orders to send in all American vessels bound to France. We also learn, by an American, who came up yesterday, from a coasting voyage, on which he failed 15 days since, loaded with hay, that on his way out, and very near the Cordovan Light house, he was boarded by a Spanish lugger,
armed with twivels, who kept him a long time in possession, and would have sent him in had he been more valuable. The captain of the lugger informed, that he had taken several American vessels bound home from this place, loaded with wine, &c. and sent them in, and that he should take all he met, coming or going."
"There also arrived here yesterday, a Danish vessel, the captain of which, in a very direct manner, relates, that he was taken with three American vessels, by five English ships of war, and three frigates, off Brest, and being becalmed there, the French obtained information of the British force and situation, and with a breeze off land, came out with 8 ships of the line superior, and several frigates, and brought the English to action, during which he (the Dane) took an opportunity to sheer off, and that he saw three ships (English) of the line strike."
"A peace with Spain and the Emperor is concluded.—The best informed persons here think it will take place. So great an event cannot long remain unproclaimed."
"N. B. Since writing the above, a man from Brest confirms the account of the engagement, and says that one ship of the line and a frigate were sent in before he had left Brest. I am informed of a fire at Nantz, which consumed six large French ships, the smallest of 450 tons, American property."
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Bourdeaux to his father in Philadelphia, June 20, 1795.
"I am sorry to find that every body in Philadelphia is Bourdeaux-mad: there is now in this port no less than ten or twelve sail of Philadelphia vessels, all laden with provisions; the consequence is, that almost every article is a drug. I never saw more plentiful tables in my life than are generally kept here, and at half the price they can in Philadelphia."
FROM FRANCE.
Friday last arrived at Portland Capt. Thomas Burnham, 45 days from France. By the account of Capt. Burnham, the French Republic is verging to a peace; the emperor of Germany has ceased hostilities; the French fleet was in port, and provisions and all other articles of necessity, cheap and plentiful.
Citizen LOUIS ARCAMBAL, Vice-Consul from the French Republic to the state of Rhode-Island, arrived at Newport on the 29th ult. to reside at that place.
From ST. VINCENTS.
We have information by an arrival on Saturday, in 18 days passage. The English and the French, or Charaibs, were still contesting the possession of the Island. No recent advantages had been gained on either side; an action was expected soon to take place, when this arrival failed. Grenada was said to be nearly restored to its old masters. They had been lately victorious against the Charaibs.
August 27.
From the MEDITERRANEAN.
We may expect soon to hear of an engagement. The French Toulon fleet consists of 17 sail of the line; the English, under Hotham, has been considerably reinforced, since the late encounter. By our last account, they were seen off Minorca, and the French had failed in quest of them.—
THE ENGLISH NAVY.
Was never so formidable as at the present day. A Liverpool paper mentions, that there are now in commission 544 men of war, from first rates to sloops, inclusive; and that there are 94 out of commission. The smallest of these would have been an admiral's ship, in the reign of queen Elizabeth!
THE EMPEROR of GERMANY.
It appears from a late official rescript, is pacificating with France. The loss of Luxembourg seems to have given the adjacent co-estates a shock of the paralysis.
Extract of a letter from London, dated June 27.
"A number of American and other neutral ships laden with provisions for France, have by order of this government been brought into British ports. Our minister's assurances are, that nothing hostile is intended to the neutral nations; and that they mean to pay speedily and handsomely for cargoes so detained, as well as freight and demurrage to the ships so brought in."
THE TOWN of NEWPORT
has appointed a committee of eleven to anathematize the treaty.
We hear that the brig Joseph, belonging to Mr. Eben. Parsons of this town, found at sea, on a passage to the W. Indies; and that the Captain and crew were taken up, nine days after, and carried into New-York.
SAYS A CORRESPONDENT.
The multiplicity of new self-created societies who have lately "assumed the tone of condemnation," is truly alarming. From such illicit combinations, serious consequences may result, and the executive will not forget to arraign such presumption in his official communications to the next congress.
Some persons, says a correspondent, pretend to believe in Richard Brothers, who, it is well known, believe in nothing else.

BRUSSELS, June 8. The army, or rather the chain of the French army, which extends from the Cologne, to Brilgau, contains 300,000 men.
BIRMINGHAM, June 24. Tranquility is restored to this town and neighbourhood. The King's own Dragoons are returned to their quarters from Dudley, Stoerbridge and Brooms-grove, except about thirty men, who have been left at the latter place on account of its being fair-day.
The following excellent hand-bill was circulated in counteraction of a very seditious one calling the people to arms, and for the discovery of the author or authors of which, a reward of one hundred pounds is offered by a number of the most respectable citizens: Brother Artificers, and Fellow Townsmen, For our own credit, safety and happiness, let us reverence the Magistrates, and the laws of the land; rioting can do no good, but may do much mischief, and increase the town rates, already too heavy to be borne; and as there is no answer for the conduct of armed men when insulted on their duty. My advice is, to keep out of the way. It is the sight of a large crowd of curious persons that encourages the real rioters, who would be afraid to act, if left in the street to themselves. Let every peaceable man, therefore, stay in his own house and there keep his servants and children, and my word for it, the rioting will soon cease.
I am, for ever and ever, Your sincere well-wisher, JOB NOTT.

HAMBURG, June 13. The secession of Prussia, as Elector of Brandenburg, has been followed not only by Hesse Cassel, but also by Hesse Darmstadt, Baden Dourlach, the Duke of Wurtemberg, the Duchies of Anspach and Barreuth, and by several petty states of the empire situate in Franconia and Swabia. This critical situation of affairs is also one of the principal reasons which have hitherto delayed the opening of the campaign, which the emperor cannot begin with any effect, as long as such a variance of sentiments shall subsist among the Princes who owe him their support.
There is a very strong report now afloat, that the Empress of Russia will send an army of 50,000 men, to act in concert with the Imperialists, and to spur on the pusillanimous petty Princes of Germany, to do their duty towards their chief, while the rest of the Empress's forces in Poland, which are to be augmented to 350,000 men, will sufficiently engage the attention of the Prussians, and keep Frederick William from any active interference in those events which shall happen on the banks of the Rhine. Great expectations may be formed from such a measure, should it actually take place; and without some extraordinary stir of this kind, the Emperor finds invincible obstacles to his resolution and eagerness to prosecute the war.
Translated from a Paris paper, of June 24.
GRAVELINES, [in French Flanders] June 12. Yesterday we had the pain of seeing lost, an American vessel, laden with 3,944 sacs of grain, making 160 lasts of rice, wheat, biscuit, &c. She is called the Pallas, Capt. Crawford, of Philad. bound to Lisbon. She struck on the high bank near Dunkirk, in the night, and immediately made 12 feet water. The men with difficulty saved themselves.
NORFOLK, August 12. Last evening arrived here, the schooner Hannah, Capt. Grant, 20 days from St. Vincents. The Captain informs, that 15,000 troops have arrived at Guadalupe, from France about the 1st of July, under a strong convoy; that in consequence all the ships of war at St. Vincents, except a 20 gun ship, had put to sea to intercept a force they momentarily expected against the island; that the English had made an unsuccessful attack on St. Lucie, on the 10th of July; and that the French from St. Lucie are continually harassing the inhabitants of St. Vincents.
Under St. Kitts, on the 30th July, spoke the American Schooner Sam, Capt. Russell, from Martinique bound to St. Croix, who informed him that some French frigates had fallen in with the outward bound English fleet, and had captured five powder ships and a number of merchantmen, and sent them to Guadalupe.
PHILADELPHIA, August 17.
A FACT.
A Gentleman, this day passing by a place in Third-street, where a house is erecting, heard one of the workmen say to another, "well the President has signed the treaty,"—the other replied, "I am glad of it, for he has more sense in his single scull than all the opposers put together."
A new prophet asserts that the whore of Babylon means the jacobins: that the four beasts are the four American printers, devoted to their cause; and that the ten horns are the ten dissenting senators to the treaty of peace with Great Britain.

NEW-YORK, August 22.
NEWS FROM IRELAND.
Yesterday arrived at this port, from Sligo, (Ireland) the brig Benjamin, of Salem, Capt. Holden, passage 49 days from his point of departure. 160 passengers came in the Benjamin, 11 of whom were cabin passengers. His London accounts are not so late as those before received; fell in with the homeward bound Ja-
maica fleet. Many disturbances were experienced in the interior of Ireland.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Ireland, to his friend in this city, dated Jamestown, 11th of June 1795.
The bearer can inform you of the malignant and fermented state of the lower class of people, in this and the adjoining counties, particularly Roscommon and Longford. On the morning of the 22d of April last Mr. Noah Simpson, who you know is preventing officer of excise for this district, accompanied by an assistant officer, a Mr. Burke, and nine police men, made an excursion to a townland, four miles from this, in order to seize on an unstatutable still, where they were surrounded and attacked by a number of villains, who stile themselves "defenders," and every man fell a victim to the hands of the cruel insurgents; and such was the inhumanity of the assassins, that they mangled and disfigured their dead, particularly Mr. Simpson. The Leitrim banditti, elate with the success of their fraternity, in the county of Roscommon, assembled and encamped themselves within a mile of this town in a place called "the Stone Park," on the further side of Curbaro, where they revelled themselves, and some intoxicated themselves that night, and on the morning of the 24th, put themselves in military form, marched to Charlestown, where they were repelled by the Londonderry militia, and obliged to disperse with the loss of some killed, and four desperately wounded. They were in number about one thousand, and proved themselves dastardly scoundrels. It was supposed their intention was to consume Drumna by fire. However, the inhabitants that evening were reinforced by an augmentation of the flout Londonderry militia, and a detachment of the 9th Dragoons. Mr. Waldron, with several gentlemen, on the 25th, brought the entire force to the place where the murders were committed, took many prisoners on suspicion, and consumed every house in the neighbourhood. The well minded here are in a perplexed situation; they cannot attend their business. This kingdom has all appearances of a total emancipation, or of being like France."
AUGUST 24.
On Thursday last, at 2 o'clock, a committee of merchants and traders of Philadelphia waited on the President of the United States, and presented him an address on the subject of the Treaty—in which they explicitly declare their approbation of the conduct of the Senate, in their advice and consent to conditional ratification—their confidence in the decisions of the constituted authorities, &c. This address was signed by upwards of 400 names, including the principal merchants and traders of the city.
ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS OF THE N. Y. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. To COMFORT SANDS, Esq. President of the New-York Chamber of Commerce.
SIR,
A little before my departure from Mount Vernon for Philadelphia, I received your letter of 23d of last month, covering the resolutions of the New-York Chamber of Commerce, relative to the Treaty lately negotiated between the United States and Great-Britain: My journey, and the urgent business in which I have since been engaged, have prevented an earlier acknowledgment.
While I regret the diversity of opinion which has been manifested on this subject, it is a satisfaction to learn, that the commercial part of my fellow citizens, whose interests are thought to be most directly affected, so generally consider the Treaty as calculated, on the whole, to procure important advantages to our country.
With due respect, I am, Sir, Your obedient, GEO. WASHINGTON.
United States, 20th August, 1795.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in London, to his correspondent in Philadelphia, dated June 18.
"This day I had an interview with Sir WM. SCOTT, to explain, more fully my demand, and to press immediate payment; after much consideration, he requested me to commit to paper my demand and my reasons; this I instantly did, and he promised me he would wait on the minister, and to-morrow will know how they mean to fix the value of the cargoes, and when we are to be paid. The restitution of your vessel will take place to-morrow, and the cargo I hope in a few days after; that is a decree of its being the property of Americans, the payment, will, you perceive depend on the decision. I have been pressing. Your business shall be pressed forward as fast as possible, and every attention paid to our interest."
"The ships ordered to be restored, and papers are sent to me, and hope the cargo will on Monday."
HARTFORD, August 17.
We are informed, by a Gentleman from Vermont, that the farmers in general, in that State, have been very fortunate in gathering in their Harvest, which has been greater this season than was ever known—Good old Wheat, he says, is now selling there at four shillings and six-pence per Bushel—We also learn, from all quarters of this country, that so great a quantity of English grain was never raised in one season, and that Indian Corn is likely to be very good. There is, likewise, a prospect of Cyder's being very plenty (of consequence, we may anticipate a great deal of domestic news, next winter.)
"While the powers of Europe are acting "Lewis XVth," a Tragedy, the people of this country are performing "the Honest Farmer,"—a Comedy."
BOSTON, August 28.
CORRECTION.
Capt. Lovell, mentioned in our last to have arrived from Aux-Cayes, desires us to correct the intelligence published as received by him, that it may stand without a deviation from the truth in the slightest degree, viz. His loss was originally 84 joes, but 60 of these were returned, so that his ultimate loss was but 24—That no translation of the treaty was made there, the General understanding sufficient of the English language to be able to read the treaty with the help of a linguist, and to know the substance of each article—That, though the Gen. said he had ordered American vessels trading to British ports, to be brought in by the French privateers, he does not recollect his saying "for condemnation." Capt. Hammet, mentioned to be captured, was not bound from Jamaica home, but to Jeremie, when he was taken; and was only confined on board his own vessel. ( Chronicle. )
AUGUST 31.
From NEW-YORK, Aug. 24.
Mr. Russell, and family of Birmingham, who had been molested in his first attempt to cross the Atlantic; arrived in the Nancy, from Havre de Grace—Allo M. Ailer, Mr. Fullerton, &c. they failed from Havre on the 4th ultimo.
We learn that Mr. Fullerton is charged with dispatches from Mr. Munroe, our Minister in Paris, to Congress, and that he asserts, that on the day the Nancy failed, news had been received at Havre, of FIVE British line of battle ships having been taken.
A Report
Prevailed in town on Saturday, that the substance of the dispatches from our Minister in France, was a resolution of the Convention, requesting the Government of the U. States, to enter into negotiations relative to a treaty of Alliance, offensive and defensive with that Republic.—Should this be the fact, tho' we cannot vouch for its authenticity, our Executive will be placed in a very unpleasant situation—As the pending treaty of Amity, &c. with Great-Britain, lately ratified by the President and dispatched—must in some measure clash with a similar treaty with France.
Extract of a letter from an American gentleman in London, to a mercantile House in New-York, June 25.
"I wrote you on the 13th inst. of our being captured and sent into Falmouth, &c. Government have taken the whole of the cargo, and returned me the vessel only. They say they will pay for cargo, freight, demurrage, &c. but do not mention the time when this is to be done. If I cannot shortly see a better prospect before me, I shall give up the business, and call on the under writers for the amount insured."
"This country is so distressed for provisions, and so poor, they have no money to purchase with. The Minister has issued an order to the navy, to rob every neutral vessel they fall in with. Even this is not sufficient to quiet the minds of the people. They are obliged to keep troops in every part of the kingdom, for fear of an insurrection."
"We have daily news from the Continent, by which it appears that the Emperor and King of Spain are about to follow the example of the Prussians, and make peace with France. This country will then have to fight herself out of a scrape, which it was the policy of all Europe to get her into, that they might humble her pride."
"There are at least thirty American vessels brought in by this last order of the Ministry, and a thousand prior to it, not one of whom have yet received a single shilling for their cargoes. When the frigate who captured us sent on board their prize-master and crew, they took from us our papers, all our passengers, and our seamen. My French passengers have been sent to prison, and the seamen put on board British armed vessels. So much for neutrality! My prayers, morning, noon, and night, are, that the treaty made by Mr. Jay may never be ratified; and that the Americans may be roufed to a proper sense of the injuries they are daily receiving from this piratical nation."
"Provisions are daily rising here. The price is now higher for wheat, &c. than was ever known before.—Beef one shilling sterling a pound, chickens half-a-guinea a couple."
"Had I been fortunate enough to have got safe to France, should have cleared ten thousand dollars on my own account; think what must be my feelings, when, instead of that, Pitt has robbed me of every shilling I owned in the world."
P.S. Every ship in the British navy, has more or less American seamen, taken out of the vessels they have sent in as prizes.
EDMUND RANDOLPH, Esq. has resigned the office of Secretary of State of the United States.
NEWS FROM EUROPE.
We learn by private letters from Bilboa, in Spain, of as late dates as July 6, that the war was carried on in that quarter with the greatest activity and inveteracy. A few days before the date of the last letters, the French attacked, and carried the Spanish lines, with great slaughter on both sides; and at the time of writing the letters, the French and Spanish were continually engaged, with various success. The first arrival from that quarter, must we think, bring the details of important advices.
In the North, nothing interesting has occurred since the surrender of Luxembourg. The army under Gen. Pichegru, it is said, has passed the Rhine; and it is expected will attack the Prince de Cobourg.
From PHILADELPHIA, August 21.
I have seen the Protest of our merchants to the famous "town meeting" proceedings:—It is signed by upwards of four hundred and twenty; among whom are all, I may say, of our most respectable and independent merchants, and traders. The names are to be published; are bearing witness to the world, that the signers have confidence in the rulers of their choice, and are determined to support the laws and the Constitution.
You will have heard, that Mr. Randolph has resigned his office. The cause rests wholly in conjecture; which however attributes it to something about the Chief Justiceship. A few days will, I think, develop to you conduct that must make you smile, when all things are considered.
From NEW-YORK, August 23.
"I am unhappy to assure you, that the fever has really made its appearance in this city, and that near 50 persons have died of it. It is confined to that part of the city which is east of Peek's slip; but lest it should extend I would advise you to defer your journey here for a few days."
From the COUNTRY.
A gentleman whose veracity may be relied on, and who has just returned from a three weeks journey through the country, from the Merrimac to the Connecticut, assures us, that in all his journey, and he travelled through between fifty and sixty towns, he met with but three persons who were dissatisfied with the treaty; whereas he conversed with hundreds who approved it after an attentive perusal of it; and many others who had reliance in its fitness, from the wisdom and patriotism of THE PRESIDENT and Senate. In the towns in New-Hampshire through which he passed, he heard the conduct of Judge LIVERMORE, in approving the Treaty, highly applauded. They knew his honesty and his talents; and in one town it was talked of to pass a vote of thanks to him. All this may be relied on as the truth.
Even at Dracut, there were respectable men who did not approve of the proceedings of that town.
We are happy to hear, that the labours of our industrious husbandmen, is likely this year to be rewarded with large and good crops of every species of grain, and other produce.—This is the best news that can be published.
On the 6th of July lieutenant-governor Simcoe, opened the fourth session of the legislature of the province of Upper Canada, by a speech to the gentlemen of the legislative council and house of assembly, convened in the council chamber at Newark.
On the subject of the treaty between the United States and Great-Britain, governor Simcoe observes that it "cannot fail to be mutually beneficial to the subjects of the king, more especially of British America, and to the people of the United States; and it may be hoped (he adds) it will effectually remove all grounds of misunderstanding."
