N OTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be creditors of the United States, for any sums of the funded debt, or stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum.
1st. That pursuant to an act of Congress, passed on the third day of March, 1795, intituled, "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," there will be reimbursed and redeemed, on the first day of January ensuing, the rate or proportion of two per centum of the principal of the debt or stock, expressed in the certificates issued to the said creditors respectively.
2d. The said reimbursements will be made at the Treasury of the United States, or at the Loan Offices where the said stock may stand credited at the close of the present year.
3d. The said reimbursements will be made to the said creditors in person, or to their attorneys duly constituted; but the powers of attorney which may be produced must contain an authority to receive the said reimbursement of principal, otherwise no more than the usual dividend of interest will be paid; and although the two per centum of principal to be redeemed, should not be demanded, yet the interest thereon will cease from the said first day of January next.
4th. To prevent the great trouble and expence which would attend a renewal of the certificates, in consequence of the said reimbursement of principal, it has been determined that no renewal shall be made: And further, that the certificates which may be issued during the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, in consequence of any transfers of the said six per cent. stock, shall notwithstanding the reimbursement of two per centum, as aforementioned, be expressed for the respective sums of the original capital stock. All persons who may negotiate the funded six per cent. stock of the United States, bearing a present interest, are therefore cautioned to observe, that during the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, the value or true amount of principal unredeemed of said debt or stock, will be ninety-eight per centum of the sums expressed in the certificates.

PROCLAMATION
Of the Convention of the French People, at the extraordinary sitting in the evening of the 4th of October.
One of the greatest Conspiracies, of which the French Revolution can preserve the remembrance, has been upon the point of execution. For a long time the Royalists had laid their plots, published their inflammatory libels, and employed their corrupt manoeuvres, and all the means of want and oppression. They hoped to seduce the defenders of the National Convention and of the Country. Not content to scatter the seeds of War, they even attempted to divide the Representatives of the People.
At the meeting of the Primary Assemblies was the time they chose to accomplish their projects. The Nation had well known that they had usurped its rights, and effectually tried the patience of the People and of their Representatives. They had not considered that patience might be exhausted. The National Convention, calumniated, abused, proscribed by some sections, superior to personal insults, but perhaps too indulgent to the insults offered to the public, by the decree of Oct. 2, granted to some sections four days to close their elections. They promised to the most refractory the pardon of their disobedience to the Laws already proclaimed. They have abused its clemency; they have provoked its justice. The time given them for repentance, they have employed to aggravate their guilt.
On the 3d of Oct. they continued to publish the most outrageous Proclamations. They have clamorously demanded CIVIL WAR. They have armed to commence it, and have assigned the hour. Having been commanded to lay down their arms, and submit to the laws, they have refused. A Central Commission is established under their bayonets, and in their fury, they have elected as the President of their Commission one of the most daring writers of Royalty. They have established an Army, named their generals, and ready to begin again the horrors of the 31st of May. We have seen on the march, in 10 sections, several of these bands of Parricides. We have seen, as on the 2d of June, some intriguing desperados deluding the credulous mass of their followers. They have marched nearly Thirty thousand.
They have come from all parts to extirpate the Representatives of the people at the place where they assemble.
We could yet hope that they would stop upon the brink of the precipice. The defenders of the Convention had express orders to bear every insult, and to avoid by every possible way, the effusion of the blood of the Citizens.
But foreign perfidy, and the fury of Emigrants, with their natural accomplices, have determined them to consummate their Crimes. They have commenced by the most inconsiderate violence.
Their perfidious band approaches. They point their cannon, give a shout, display their standard, and give the word, at which they were to unite, and at the instant when the Leader of the Sections embraced the Commanding Officer, they made two discharges of musketry upon the Soldiers of Liberty, and twenty-three soldiers fell. Instantly the action begun in several places. Frenchmen, between the conquerors of Fleurus, of the 14th of July, and 10th of August, on the one part, and the Satellites of Louis XVIII. The engagement could not be long. The avenging Cannon, whose roar we yet hear, notify the Brother of the last of our Tyrants stationed near the Bay of Bourgneuf, that he waits in vain movements prepared at such a distance, and that this Vendean roar, that in his foolish hope he saw open even to the gates of the Convention, is now shut forever.
Frenchmen, the National Convention are contending for the Constitution, that the hypocrites embrace only to destroy. And as there is no calumny so absurd, that the rage of factions will fail to assist, they accuse us of a design to establish ourselves in our functions at the moment when we hasten the convocation of the Legislative Assembly ten days sooner than was at first decreed. And, tho' we proclaim the pardon of injuries, and oblivion of past errors, they dare to repeat the charge, that we intend to raise the scaffolds of Terror. No, never, never shall the terrible plan of Robespierre oppress our country. Who can have more interest to oppose it, than we, who have so long been its victims, and now are its conquerors! But it is time that a fear necessary for the public safety should enter the hearts of these wretches who have prepared under our feet, the tomb of the Republic, and the sacrifice of all the friends of liberty, who have been persecuted under various pretences.
They shall be punished. They who are interested in their projects shall be suppressed. In defiance of all their efforts, we will maintain here the safety of person and property. We will snatch yet again this great community from their fury, and we will oblige at last all who now disturb us, to acknowledge, that in all parts of the Republic the most perfect equality must prevail.
Frenchmen. The National Convention will preserve for you the precious deposit of your new Laws. It watches over your dearest in-
terest. It recommends to you to forget all hatred, but to be vigilant against bale men. It invites you to peace and union.
DECREE.
The National Convention decrees the insertion of this Proclamation in the Bulletin of Correspondence, that it be fixed up in Paris, and that it be sent by immediate dispatches to the Departments and to the Armies.
ANOTHER DECREE.
The national Convention decrees, that the General of Brigade, Barras, Representative of the People, is General in Chief of the armed force of Paris, and of the Army in the interior parts of France, and that all civil and military authorities are bound to acknowledge him in this character.
The Representatives of the People, Delmas, Goullilleau (of Fontenoy) and Laporte, are joined with him in the Commission.
The present Decree shall be instantly proclaimed and fixed up in Paris, and inserted in the Bulletin of Correspondence.
LONDON, Sept. 21.
On Thursday the 6th inst. the following melancholy accident is said to have happened near Moivane, in the county of Kerry, Ireland; two men having gone into the river Gae to swim, one of them suddenly disappeared; his companion, missing him, alarmed the people in the neighbourhood, & after a diligent search, the body was found with a monstrous eel entwined many folds about his neck, and biting at his throat! So exceedingly fierce and voracious was this dreadful animal, that before it could be separated from the neck of the unfortunate man, its head was obliged to be severed from its body. Its length was five feet and half, and weighed 36lb.
De Foe seems, in the following two lines in his Jure Divino, to have parodied the old proverb of God sends meat, but the Devil sends cooks. Our Governments from Heaven might first appear, But Governors come from, the Lord knows where.
PARIS, October 4.
The aristocracy of the Church has attempted to revive the times of the Crusades, of the League, of the Frondeurs, and of St. Bartholemew, and as Urban II. armed the Christians against the Mahometans, so Pius VI. wishes to arm the Christians against the civil constitution of the Clergy.
A letter from a Corporal in the French Army before Mentz, Sept. 24.
"My dear mamma, have no fear of me. We are in light of the enemy. We are everywhere triumphant. Your Son is worthy of you. We have at last passed the Rhine. The immortal Army of the Sambre and the Meuse, is a torrent of fire, which has dried up the waters of this River. I want expressions to represent the valour of the French Soldiers. The enemy must tell it to you.
If we must fly to this place, we shall be here no longer. And without doubt it will cost us many brave fellows. But we shall carry it. And should we draw the stones out with our teeth, we will plant, upon the demolished walls of these proud ramparts, now furnished with 450 mouths of fire, the tricoloured flag.
We are at wedding. The Soldier burns to hear the signal guns for action. The fire sparkles in his eyes. His courage is that of a lion. Nothing is so tempting as the works of the enemy. The Republicans disturb neither their strength, nor their thunder. Yet again, believe me, my dear mother, we shall be conquerors. I embrace your heart and soul.
A Corporal, French Republican living and dying.
BOOK-MAKING
IN all reading countries, is one of the best trades a man can follow. It is true, many honest men starve in the business; but the reason is, they don't understand it. The great art is, to hit upon a title page that will catch the passion of the day, and then to put forth the book in the very nick of time. In this way, many volumes of nonsense have been sold, even in this young country; and in England there are thousands of writers who make it their business to watch the whim of the day. At the present day, the enquiry is, What terrible thing has that old patriot, Randolph, done that you raise such a hue and cry about him—as if he were a rogue, or a mad-dog; Mr. Smith [of Philadelphia, printer] says, "I can tell you—I have got a great book, in Mr. Randolph's own hand writing, that I am going to publish when your curiosity is properly excited; and in that book, if you will pay me two dollars for it, you will find the mighty secret. That title is, "MR. RANDOLPH'S DEFENCE."
Defence of what? That's the very thing. And so we must all buy a book to find out what it is about. Aristocrats will buy—Jacobins will buy—Independent Americans will buy—and when they have all bought and read, ten chances to one, like Peter Pindar's razor buyer, they'll wish their money in their pockets again; for alas! the razors were not made to shave, but to sell.

CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
MONDAY, DEC. 7.
This day Congress met, and a quorum of both Houses assembled in their respective Halls. In the absence of the Vice-President of the
United States, Mr. Tazewell was elected President of the Senate pro tempore.
The House of Representatives proceeded to the choice of their officers:—Jonathan Dayton, of New-Jersey, was chosen Speaker; John Beckly, Clerk; Joseph Weaton, Serjeant at Arms; Thomas Claxton, Doorkeeper, and Thomas Dunn, Assistant Doorkeeper.
Committees of the two Houses were appointed to wait on the President of the United States, and inform him, that quorums of the two Houses are assembled, and ready to receive such communications as he may have to lay before them.
TUESDAY, DEC. 8.
This day, precisely at 12 o'clock, the President of the United States met both Houses of Congress in the Hall of the Representatives, and addressed them in the following
SPEECH.
Fellow-citizens of the Senate, and House of Representatives,
I trust I do not deceive myself, while I indulge the persuasion, that I have never met you at any period, when, more than at the present, the situation of our public affairs has afforded just cause for mutual congratulation, and for inviting you to join with me in profound gratitude to the Author of all Good, for the numerous and extraordinary blessings we enjoy.
The termination of the long, expensive and distressing war, in which we have been engaged with certain Indians North West of the Ohio, is placed in the option of the United States, by a treaty which the Commander of our Army has concluded provisionally, with the hostile tribes in that region.
In the adjustment of the terms, the satisfaction of the Indians was deemed an object worthy no less of the policy, than of the liberality of the United States, as the necessary basis of durable tranquility. This object, it is believed, has been fully attained. The articles agreed upon, will immediately be laid before the Senate, for their consideration.
The Creek and Cherokee Indians, who alone of the Southern tribes had annoyed our frontiers, have lately confirmed their pre-existing treaties with us; and were giving evidence of a sincere disposition to carry them into effect, by the surrender of the prisoners and property they had taken:—But we have to lament, that the fair prospect in this quarter, has been once more clouded by wanton murders, which some citizens of Georgia are represented to have recently perpetrated on hunting parties of the Creeks; which have again subjected that frontier to disquietude and danger; which will be productive of future expense, and may occasion more effusion of blood. Measures are pursuing to prevent or mitigate the usual consequences of such outrages; and with the hope of their succeeding, at least to avert general hostility.
A letter from the Emperor of Morocco announces to me his recognition of our treaty, made with this father the late Emperor; and consequently, the continuance of peace with that power. With peculiar satisfaction I add, that information has been received from an Agent deputed on our part, to Algiers, importing that the terms of a treaty with the Dey and Regency of that country had been adjusted in such a manner, as to authorize the expectation of a speedy peace, and the restoration of our unfortunate Fellow-Citizens from a grievous captivity.
The latest advices from our envoy at the Court of Madrid, give moreover, the pleasing information that he had received assurances of a speedy and satisfactory conclusion of his negotiation. While the event depending upon unadjusted particulars, cannot be regarded as ascertained, it is agreeable to cherish the expectation of an issue which, securing amicably very essential interests of the United States, will at the same time, lay the foundation of lasting harmony with a power whose friendship we have uniformly and sincerely desired to cultivate.
Though not before officially disclosed to the House of Representatives, you, gentlemen, are all apprized, that a treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation, has been negotiated with Great-Britain; and that the Senate have advised and consented to its ratification, upon a condition which excepts part of one article. Agreeably thereto, and to the best judgment I was able to form of the public interest after full and mature deliberation I have added my sanction. The result on the part of his Britannic Majesty is unknown. When received, the subject will without delay, be placed before Congress.
This interesting summary of our affairs, with regard to the foreign powers, between whom and the United States controversies have subsisted; and with regard also to those of our Indian neighbours with whom we have been in a state of enmity or misunderstanding, opens a wide field for consoling and gratifying reflections.—If by prudence and moderation on every side, the extinguishment of all the causes of external discord, which have heretofore menaced our tranquility, on terms compatible with our national rights and honor, shall be the happy result—how firm and how precious a foundation will have been laid for accelerating, maturing and establishing the prosperity of our country!
Contemplating the internal situation, as well as the external relations of the United States, we discover equal cause for contentment and satisfaction. While many of the nations of Europe, with their American dependencies, have been involved in a contest unusually bloody, exhausting and calamitous; in which the evils of foreign war have been aggravated by domestic convulsions and insurrection; in which many of the arts most useful to society have been exposed to discouragement and decay; in which scarcity of subsistence has embittered other suffer-
ings, while even the anticipations of a return of the blessings of peace and repose, are alloyed by the sense of heavy and accumulating burthens, which press upon all the departments of industry, and threaten to clog the future springs of government:—our favoured country, happy in a striking contrast, has enjoyed general tranquility—a tranquility the more satisfactory, because maintained at the expense of no duty.
Faithful to ourselves, we have violated no obligation to others. Our agriculture, commerce and manufactures prosper beyond former example; the molestations of our trade (to prevent a continuance of which, however, very pointed remonstrances have been made) being over balanced by the aggregate benefits which it derives from a neutral position. Our population advances with a celerity which, exceeding the most sanguine calculations, proportionally augments our strength and resources, and guarantees our future security. Every part of the union displays indications of rapid and various improvement, and with burthens so light as scarcely to be perceived; with resources fully adequate to our present exigencies; with governments founded on the genuine principles of rational liberty, and with mild and wholesome laws; it is too much to say, that our country exhibits a spectacle of national happiness never surpassed, if ever before equalled?
Placed in a situation every way so auspicious, motives of commanding force impel us, with sincere acknowledgment to Heaven, and pure love to our country, to unite our efforts to preserve, prolong and improve, our immense advantages. To co-operate with you in this desirable work, is a fervent and favourite wish of my heart.
It is a valuable ingredient, in the general estimate of our welfare, that the part of our country, which lately was the scene of disorder & insurrection, now enjoy the blessings of quiet and order. The misles have abandoned their errors, and pay the respect to our constitutional and laws which is due from good citizens to the public authorities of the society. These circumstances have induced me to pardon, generally, the offenders here referred to; and to extend forgiveness to those who had been adjudged to capital punishment.—For though I shall always think it a sacred duty, to exercise with firmness and energy the constitutional powers with which I am vested; yet it appears to me no less consistent with the public good, than it is with my personal feelings, to mingle in the operations of government every degree of moderation and tenderness which the national justice, dignity and safety may permit.
Gentlemen,
Among the objects which will claim your attention in the course of the session, a review of our military establishment is not the least important.—It is called for by the events which have changed, and may be expected still further to change the relative situation of our frontiers. In this review, you will doubtless allow due weight to the considerations, that the questions between us and certain foreign powers, are not yet finally adjusted; that the war in Europe is not yet terminated; and that our Western Posts, when recovered, will demand provisions for garrisoning and securing them. A statement of our present military force will be laid before you by the department of war.
With the review of our army establishment is naturally connected that of the militia. It will merit inquiry, what imperfections in the existing plan, further experience may have unfolded.—The subjects is of so much moment in my estimation, as to excite a constant solicitude, that the consideration of it may be renewed, till the greatest attainable perfection shall be accomplished. Time is wearing away some advantages for forwarding the object, while none better deserves the persevering attention of the public councils.
While we indulge the satisfaction, which the actual condition of our Western borders so well authorizes, it is necessary that we should not lose sight of an important truth, which continually receives new confirmations—namely, that the provisions heretofore made with a view to the protection of the Indians from the violences of the lawless part of our frontier inhabitants are insufficient. It is demonstrated that these violences can now be perpetrated with impunity; and it can need no argument to prove, that unless the murdering of Indians can be restrained by bringing the murderers to condign punishment, all the exertions of the government to prevent destructive retaliations by the Indians, will prove fruitless, and all our present agreeable prospects illusory. The frequent destruction of innocent women and children, who are chiefly victims of retaliation, must continue to shock humanity; and an enormous expense, to drain the treasury of the Union.
To enforce upon the Indians the observance of justice, it is indispensable that there shall be competent means of rendering justice to them. If these means can be devised by the wisdom of Congress; and especially if there can be added an adequate provision for supplying the necessities of the Indians, on reasonable terms (a measure, the mention of which I the more readily repeat, as in all the conferences with them, they urge it with solicitude) I should not hesitate to entertain a strong hope of rendering our tranquility permanent. I add, with pleasure, that the probability even of their civilization, is not diminished by the experiments which have been thus far made, under the auspices of government. The accomplishment of this work, if practicable, will reflect undecaying lustre on our national character, and administer the most grateful consolations that virtuous minds can know.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
The state of our revenue with the sums which have been borrowed and re-imbursed, pursuant to different acts of Congress, will be submitted from the proper departments; together with

an estimate of the appropriations necessary to be made for the service of the ensuing year.
Whether measures may not be advisable to reinforce the provision for the redemption of the public debt, will naturally engage your examination. Congress have demonstrated their sense to be, and it were superfluous to repeat mine, that whatsoever will tend to accelerate the honorable extinction of our public debt, accords as much with the true interest of our Country, as with the general sense of our Constituents.
Gentlemen of the Senate,
and House of Representatives,
The statements which will be laid before you relative to the mint, will shew the situation of that institution; and the necessity of some further legislative provisions, for carrying the business of it more completely into effect; and for checking abuses which appear to be arising in particular quarters.
The progress in providing materials for the frigates, and in building them; the state of the fortifications of our harbours; the measures which have been pursued for obtaining proper sites for arsenals, and for replenishing our magazines with military stores; and the steps which have been taken towards the execution of the laws for opening a trade with the Indians, will likewise be presented for the information of Congress.
Temperate discussion of the important subjects which may arise in the course of the Session; and mutual forbearance where there is a difference of opinion, are too obvious and necessary for the peace, happiness and welfare of our Country, to need any recommendation of mine.

GENTLEMEN,
Under date of the 3d instant, and by the hand of Captain Andrew Atkinson, I informed you of the late insult committed by rebellious subjects of his majesty, William Ashley and William Downs on an inhabitant of this province, Daniel Plummer , robbing him of three negroes and threatening him to take away his life; and I concluded, requesting that they, and the rest of their class, should be apprehended and delivered up to this government as state criminals, restoring at the same time the property plundered from said Plummer ; to all which I have received no answer. I have since learned that General Clarke with a number of citizens of the United States, and some of his majesty's rebellious subjects, have crossed over from the southern border of the river St. Mary to the territory and of my sovereign, and that Richard Lang , and all his followers, had the same intention, without your having taken the smallest step, as far as I can learn, to put a stop to proceedings so repugnant to the good harmony that subsists between his catholic majesty and the United States, the cultivation of which has been so earnestly recommended by both powers.
Such inaction places me in the necessity of calling upon you, to tell me categorically if said states are at war with Spain, and in that case to take such measures, offensive and defensive, as I shall judge proper, to guard myself against your citizens, and treat them as enemies. I am however persuaded that such is not the case, by the recent circumstances of Captain Fauche having arrived at your town, with fifty horse, to oppose in virtue of the order of his excellency the governor of Georgia, the designs of said Clarke and his followers; but the little effect so laudable a measure has produced makes me believe that the aforesaid Capt. has not met with such assistance amongst you as he ought to expect for the discharge of his commission. Thus circumstanced, I feel myself impelled to acquaint you, that the bearer of this has my orders not to return without your answer, which will constitute the rule of my future proceedings; and in reality it will be disagreeable to me to be put to the necessity to vary from those that I have observed during the course of my government with the citizens of Georgia.
I embrace this opportunity to repeat to you my offer of service.
God preserve you for many years.
JOHN NEPOMUCENO DE QUESADA. Gentlemen magistrates of } County of Camden. }
St. Mary's 14th Oct. 1795.
SIR,
We this moment received your communication of the 9th inst. handed by sergeant Christopher.
The bearer had left town before we came in, or you would have received this by him.
You complain of the magistrates of Camden county for not having acted friendly towards your government, and offer as a reason, that they have not apprehended the revolted subjects of his Catholic majesty, and that they have been remiss with respect to Gen. Clarke, and other citizens and inhabitants of the United States, who you call his followers.
The magistrates of Camden, or any other of the United States, have no power to divest a citizen or inhabitant of his liberty, but on a particular charge, and that supported by a special affidavit.
You say General Clarke has crossed the St. Mary's and the magistrates have not taken the least step to prevent it. We can only add, you have been wrongly informed; we have done our duty, and shall continue so to do. As for your question, whether the United States are at war with your government, we have no reason to suppose it, neither do we believe you have.
It is our wish to support a good understanding between the subjects of his Catholic majesty and the citizens of the United States.
We are, Sir; with due respect your excellency's most obedient humble servants,
THOMAS KING, J. P.
WILLIAM JOHNSON, J. P.
RICHARD CARNES, J. P.
P. S. As to Ashley and others, neither they nor the property you mention have crossed the river St. Mary's to our knowledge, since the depredation you complain of.
We are credibly informed from St. Mary's, that the magistrates have used every legal method in their power to prevent the enlisting or embodying of men in that neighborhood for foreign service.
NEW-YORK, Dec. 2.
We hear every day remarks made about the importance of the approaching session of Congress. By the repetition of such observations among men hostile to the present administration, and by some recent movements of the heads of opposition, it would appear that some violent collisions are to be expected, during the session.
But let us look about for the real grounds of this expectation. That Jefferson, Madison & Burr itching for the high offices of our government will leave untried no probable means of accomplishing their views, is unquestionable. It is equally certain that the popular opposition to the treaty, is the instrument relied on to effect their purpose; for some of the party have been heard to say, "if we cannot succeed by means of the treaty, we must give up the point."
But in this business there are some knots to untie that will not a little perplex their wise heads.
First—The treaty between Great Britain and America cannot be officially communicated to the house of representatives by the president, until it is completed—It must be finished definitively before it becomes a law, and the president cannot lay before the house an unfinished treaty—he does not himself know what the whole treaty will be; and he cannot constitutionally communicate it by parts. All he can do, is to mention in his speech incidentally that a negotiation is pending.
Second—If the foregoing ideas are just, the house of representatives cannot take up the subject of the treaty at all—if they have petitions against a treaty that is not yet finished, then the petitions are remonstrating against they know not what. The merits of the treaty may yet be essentially varied; in this case, the instrument must again be the subject of deliberation before the Senate, and ratified by that branch of the Legislature, before it is completed—Now can the house of representatives, with a sense of order and decorum, meddle with the business, before the ratifications have been exchanged?
Third—The treaty, as agreed to by the Senate and President arrived in England Sept. 25. Mr. Adams, our minister resident at the Hague, is to finish the negotiation, as Mr. Pinckney is at Madrid. He probably did not leave the Hague for England, until he heard the treaty had arrived. Allowing one month for his arrival in England, and six weeks or two months for the completion of the business, an allowance very moderate, and the ratifications cannot be exchanged, till the close of December. Then a long winter's passage will not permit us to calculate its arrival here, till the last of March or beginning of April—too late indeed for this session of Congress.
Fourth—The constitution assigns to the President and Senate exclusively the power of making treaties. Now for the house of representatives to meddle with the business at all, is a direct attack upon the powers of the President and the Senate, and an invasion of the constitution. The moment the house of representatives hazard that invasion, they will furnish a pretext for the President and Senate to encroach on their powers—the different branches are at open war—the people must take sides and support or demolish the constitution. Should this deplorable event take place, it is an event as certain as fate, that the leaders of opposition will be buried in the ruins of our government. There is no doubt; there can be none, with any person acquainted with the northern and middle states, that four fifths of the numbers and strength of the people, will at any moment rally round that sacred palladium of our rights and liberties.
BOSTON, Dec. 14.
CANALS.
A Baltimore paper of December 1, informs, that a motion will be made, the next day, in the General Assembly of that state, for leave to bring in a bill to open a communication between the Chesapeake and Delaware bays, by a canal.
The toll, received from the Western Canal, at the Little Falls [N. Y.] between the 17th and 25th of Nov. amounted to 110 dollars and 54 cents. The receipts for the ensuing year are calculated at 3000l. and must annually increase. A speculation, so advantageous to the stockholders, affords ample encouragement to similar enterprizes.
The Legislature of North Carolina it is said has laid an embargo on the exportation of all kinds of grain and flour, and meal made therefrom, until July next.
DECEMBER 19.
The British frigate Lapwing , arrived at Baltimore, from England, on her passage fell in with a large British fleet of transports, under a powerful convoy of line of battle ships and frigates, having on board upwards of 25,000 troops, exclusive of cavalry, engineers, &c. bound for the West-Indies.
By the above arrival, there is also a report of the forces under the count d'Artois, having effected a landing on the French coast, having formed a junction with the royalists under Charette, and of their having an engagement with the republicans, in which the latter were defeated and obliged to retreat, leaving upwards of 15,000 dead on the field of battle.
Captain Williams, of the schooner Polly , arrived at New-York, Dec. 13, from St. Thomas's, informs, that he was in Fort Louis, in the island of Guadalupe, about five weeks since, where he learnt a fleet of six sail of the line, with 10,000 troops on board, had arrived from France from Point Petre.
From JAMAICA, Accounts are received, stating that the Maroon rebellion has not been entirely quelled, though reduced to a handful of insurgents.—Martial law is still continued; and all the Frenchmen in the island, capable of bearing arms, are ordered to quit it.
DECEMBER 21.
Latest from FRANCE, VIA PHILADELPHIA.
CHARETTE'S DEFEAT.
Letters from Philadelphia, by the last Mail, mention, that Charette, after having gained some little advantage, was the next day vigorously attacked by the Republicans and his whole army entirely defeated.
MEDUSA FRIGATE.
That the Medusa frigate, of the French Republic, which failed lately from Newport, after having been there in vain blocked up, during six weeks, by English forces which were far superior, is safe arrived at Brest, after a passage of 26 days, and brought with her two rich English prizes, which are valued at 100,000 dollars. This same frigate brought to America the present Legation of the French Republic, and carried back to France the Citizen Faucher, late Minister, the late Consul of Philadelphia, and other officers of the French Republic.
APPOINTMENTS—BY AUTHORITY. TIMOTHY PICKERING, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of State, vice Edmund Randolph, resigned.
CHARLES LEE, of Virginia, Attorney-General of the United States, vice William Bradford, deceased.
SALEM, Dec. 15.
That gallant personage Koscinski still lingers in a Russian dungeon. The Patriot of his Country groans away his life within the grasp of tyranny, and England and Europe tamely contemplate the affliction scene.
Nations and people experience sometimes a revolution most degrading to human nature, Europe seems in the present war to have returned to the ferocity of the dark ages; to have rendered hostilities a mere scene of guilt unmixed with glory; a contest in which little more is apparent than the extreme cruelty and carnage with which it is carried on.
If any thing can console a humane and generous people for the losses and expences they have been at in endeavouring to restore their neighbours to the yoke of despotism, it must be the many thousand brothers and fellow citizens, whom they have caused to cut one another's throats! there is certainly a pleasure in this which none can feel but a brave and Christian nation! If there be any conduct that can equal this, it is that of promoting civilization in Africa, by fomenting divisions among her inhabitants, and then leading them into perpetual slavery. Belfast Northern Star.
Capt. NEAL, from Bourdeaux, amply confirms the triumph of the Convention over the factious Communes—as also of the great plenty of produce in all parts of France, provisions being cheaper than in these States, flour but eleven crowns, and dull at that.
Capt. NEAL also informs, that the master of the Pomona , Capt. Parsons, of Boston, whom he spoke with, had on board the Treaty of Peace lately concluded between the United States of America and the Regency of Algiers Happy Columbia! at peace with all the world!
NEWBURYPORT, Dec. 8.

Copy of a letter from Samuel Bayard, Esquire, to the Secretary of State, dated London, 10th Sept. 1795.
DEAR SIR,
I HAVE this moment come from Doctor's Commons, and finding the letter bag of the Harmony on the point of being taken from the Coffee House, I avail myself of this opportunity to inform you, that the orders for sending in American and other neutral vessels, laden with provisions, have this day been revoked.
I have the honor to be,
With much respect and esteem,
Dear Sir,

EXETER, Dec. 5.
We learn from Haverhill, that on, or about the 20th ultimo, a woman from Newbury, was put on shore about three miles below that town, to which place she walked, when she was immediately taken ill, and a short time after, she was safely delivered of three living children, two sons and one daughter, who are all likely to do well. A circumstance worthy of remark, is, that this woman has had three husbands, and by each, one litter, two sons and a daughter at a birth. A profitable woman this in a young country.
