A Method to prevent the CANKER-WORMS destroying APPLE TREES.
AS soon as the snow goes off, and the frost is out round the roots of the trees, take coarse running sand, lay it round the roots of the trees, about ten or twelve inches high, as steep as you can make it lie, and the bugs cannot crawl up, but will roll down, from time to time, until they are worried out, and will gather in heaps round the sand at the roots of the trees. If your orchard be near the barn, your fowls will be out early in the morning and will pick them up. If there comes a rain, or high wind, you must right the sand up again. Attend it well, and there will not be one in an hundred get up. Take a lantern, and go about dusk, and you will be satisfied whether it will answer. A FRIEND to the PUBLIC.
ANECDOTE.
AT a time when the doctrines of Calvinism and Arminianism were much talked of in a certain village, a couple of negroes, of different parties, meeting on the road, directly entered into the fashionable debate. Their topic was, whether a man might not die before his appointed time; when, after some argument, our Arminian advocate adduced the following weighty proposition in vindication of his assertion.
"New Jack, suppose you eat a hearty supper dis evening;—you go to bed,—sleep well all night; you wake up in the morning, and find yourself dead.—What you say den?—Dat man live all e days of his life?—Debil a bit."
This is a pertinent caution to us not to dispute about matters we do not understand; and a lively emblem of the despicable figure we make in the eyes of superior beings, in our lengthy discussions upon the incomprehensible attributes of the Deity.
The following true and affecting instance of generous humanity and heroism deserves to be celebrated and repeated in every part of the habitable globe. The hero who performed the act here alluded to was a native of Holland, who had lived from his early youth a rural life, in the Dutch colony at the Cape of Good Hope.
"He happened to be on horseback on the coast, at the very point of time that a vessel was shipwrecked by a dreadful tempest; the greatest part of the crew perished in the waves; the remainder was struggling with death on the shattered planks that still floated on the surface of the water: no boat could be sent out in such a dreadful storm for the deliverance of these poor people. The humane and intrepid Hollander undertakes to save them; he blows brandy into the nostrils of his horse, and, fixing himself firmly in his stirrups, he plunges into the sea, and gaining the wreck, brings back to the shore two men of the crew, each of whom held by one of his boots. In this manner he went and returned seven times, and thus saved fourteen of the passengers; but the eighth time, (and here the generous heart will almost fail) on his return, a rapid and immense surge overset his horse, the heroic rider lost his seat, and was swallowed up with the two unfortunate victims he was endeavoring to snatch from death.—What exit could be more glorious than that of this generous man!—We celebrate the chiefs who expire in the field of battle among the victims they had been sacrificing; and if their motives were just and public spirited, let them have their glory! But we cannot help contemplating, with a more pleasing kind of admiration, this intrepid man, dying in an attempt to save his fellow creatures from destruction. The story is true. The man's name, which our author does not mention, was Altemade; and, if we are not mistaken, the Dutch East-India company paid a just tribute of veneration to his memory."

Of French Internal Affairs.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
6 NIVOSE, (26 DEC.)
CLAUZEL —"Fathers of the country, to speak of the dangers that threaten you, to descant on the means of extricating you, is necessarily the way to occupy your whole attention."
"I proved to you, last decade, that the principal leaders of the Robespierre faction, of that of Chaumette, Vincent and Hebert are still in existence; that they have defended those men at this tribunal, and that they had always acted in concert with that tyrant, till a happy misunderstanding between them convinced you, that you should get rid of them altogether."
"We must acquaint the people, that while the national convention is occupied in framing plans of their happiness, the men of terror are again seeking to prepare, and to foment a revolt, in order to bring about the system of pillage and of blood, in which they coalesced for more than fifteen months. We must teach good citizens the means with which these revolutionaries contrived to undo liberty, that has cost us so many sacrifices, and this handful of Russians will disappear at the first glance of the people, as the pygmies vanish at the sight of Hercules."
"Monsters, your hour of domination is passed away; our armies know you; you are the execration of nature: all France, except a handful of rogues, abhor you! What family is there, whose blood you have not shed? From Antibes to Cherbourg, from Cherbourg to Bayonne, all ask why the masters of Carrier have not yet partaken of his fate? Let the Committees print the letters which you wrote to authorize the murders of the atrocious Lebon! Let them tell us whether, since the 27th of July, all the satellites of the Army of Robespierre have not been under your rebellious standards?"
"We know that some days before the 9th of Thermidor, Robespierre contended with his accomplices who should hold the reins of despotism. We know well, that the surviving decimvirs, terrified at the superiority which Robespierre held over them, not in perfidy, but in popularity, sought a compromise with him in the right of tyrannizing over their country. We have not forgot, that the division did not really happen between the parties, before the morning of the 8th of Thermidor, when the seven tyrants saw that the arch-tyrant had signified to the Jacobins his firm resolution to annihilate them, and no longer to suffer them to partake of his power. Thus, in outlawing seven of the Decimvirs, the chief error of the conspiring Commune seems to have been thinking the party of Robespierre stronger than that of Billaud and his accomplices; for no one now doubts that there were two conspiracies to destroy the national representation, and with it the Republic."
"One was composed of the members of the commune, the other of the decimvirs, themselves divided into two parties."
"The weakest, or the most timid, necessarily fell the first; the second, finding itself unmasked, naturally declared itself the mortal enemy of its rival. This is the ordinary method of proceeding with all conspirators who endeavour to secure to themselves arbitrary power."
"Thus falls to the ground all the support which the seven* hope to derive from the decree of outlawry, pronounced against them by the rebellious commune."
"Representatives of the people, is it not evident to you as well as to the whole republic, that the accomplices, the perpetrators of Robespierre still infest France? Call to mind that they wished to be continued in their functions, after the death of their chief: that Billaud found fault with the repeal of the decree, which conferred on them the right of arresting us; and that, imitating the expressions of the fallen tyrant, he was heard to cry out in this assembly, 'Sure I hear a murmur!'"
"How can you expect that all the powers of Europe will sue for peace and alliance, if you suffer to remain in the Senate the Chiefs of that faction which has lacerated the Republic? Who could assure their reciprocity in their engagements? But perhaps you will say, with Comberceres, that all the factious men, who combine in the Convention, will find their tomb in it."
"These men will never be corrected. Look into History, and you will find, that once seated in power, tyrants will never quit it, till they descend into the grave."
"Representatives of a great nation! Is your solicitude for Liberty less ardent than that of the States of the ci devant Languedoc for the inhabitants of Gervadan?"
"A wild beast had devoured a woman and two or three children; scarcely had the news arrived at Montpelier , before the commandant ordered three regiments to go and destroy it."
"Thousands of victims have been immolated by the fury of the Decimvirs; all France was covered with mourning and consternation during their tyranny: The greatest of all crimes, the usurpation of the sovereignty of the People, has been committed. So many atrocities will not remain unpunished.—No—for you are just."
"I propose, 1st. That your Committees to-morrow make you a report on the Representatives denounced by Lecointre and by all France."
2dly. "That the committee of Legislation present you to-morrow with the project of a law, tending to confirm the powers of the Revolutionary Tribunal; but at the same time to keep out all the Judges and Jurors who had acted before the 10th of Thermidor."
The propositions of Clauzel were adopted in the midst of the loudest plaudits.
Several Voices—"Let the speech be printed."
DUHEM —"I desire to be heard."
* Barrere, Billaud, Varennes, Collot d'Herbois, Ventard, Amar, David, and Vadier.
Several Members—"to the Tribune."
DUHEM —"I will not go there; I will not submit myself to be agonized by your follies.—(Murmurs.) The tribune of a free man is wherever he may happen to be."
"I think that the principles and the decrees of the Convention will be found to oppose the printing of this speech, as they might the delivery of it (Murmurs) and I will prove it. A great number of persons know, and particularly my Colleagues who are Members of the Committees, that these Committees are occupied day and night in discussing this affair. The denunciation bears as much upon thirty or forty other Members, as upon the seven accused."
"I only invoke justice, and that all parties may be heard. Doubts have arisen on the manner in which I voted in the affair of Carrier.—I voted according to my conscience, and I would do the same in this affair. The Committees are inquiring into it, and if Clauzel, whom I consider as an infamous calumniator, (Violent murmurs.)"
CLAUZEL —"I desire to be heard in answer to Duhem."
DUHEM —"If Clauzel, who has the audacity to tell me to my face, that I held a correspondence with the Emigrants in Switzerland, does not prove the fact, I declare that I will myself assassinate him."
The Assembly, and all the Tribunes, manifested symptoms of indignation.
DUHEM takes off his cravat.
A Member—"I vote that Duhem, the assassin, be called to order." (Loud plaudits.)
Several Voices—"To the Abbey! To the Abbey!"
DEWAR —"A man who declares himself an assassin, ought not to sit in the Convention."
DUHEM —"You shall not with impunity assassinate the people." (Hisses prevent him from proceeding.)
DEWAR —"I think that a Representative of the People, who had the atrocity to declare himself an assassin, ought to be excluded from this Assembly, at least for three months, and sent to the Abbey." (Loud plaudits.) We have known for a long time, that assassination was your favorite expedient, which you never failed to put in execution to attain your ends. You dare to say that you will assassinate the French people! Have you not already done it, in putting to death their Representatives? Are you not satisfied with the blood of 40 or 50 of your Colleagues? (Duhem smiles.) I propose that Duhem be committed to the Abbey!"
A great number of voices—"To the Abbey, to the Abbey!"
The President then put it to the vote, and a great majority was for Duhem's being sent to the Abbey. (Loud Applauses.) However, LEGENDRE —moved the order of the day.
CLAUZEL —"I support the proposition of Legendre for the order of the day. Duhem pretended, that I had accused him of a correspondence with the emigrants of Switzerland; there was lately an explanation on this subject at the Committee of General Safety; many of my colleagues confessed, that there had been read in the United Committees a paper which proved, that the Jacobins had held a correspondence with the Emigrants in Switzerland; but I never said that any of my colleagues, Duhem or any other, had any part in that correspondence."
BOURDON DE L'oise —"I move that we put to the vote the order of the day, in order to end a debate, which must be afflictive to all true patriots."
The Convention passed to the order of the day.
POLAND.
BRESLAW, Dec. 24.
Summary account of the late Polish news, received yesterday from Warsaw.
THE ancient constitution is re-established ad interim; all the ancient Polish troops have been disarmed; all the pikes have been burned, and the iron thereof thrown in the river.
There are but very few Russian troops in the capital, the provisional command of which was given to Gen. Ruxlawden: The King has a guard composed of Poles chosen for that service.
Count Suwarrows does not occupy any apartment in the palace, but lodges in a private house, and superintends with a religious exactness the fulfilment of all that has been promised in favor of the inhabitants.—Count Ignace Potofky, who, according to some reports was incarcerated, according to others sent in irons to Russia, has sworn fidelity to the ancient constitution, and was permitted without the least obstacle to retire to one of his country seats.
A messenger is expected from Peterburgh, who will acquaint us with the fate reserved for Poland. The conjectures on that subject are different; they flatter the wishes of some, excite the fear of many, and prepare the rest to expect the final result with indifference and resignation. On the 22d Nov. the generals Wauzewsky, Gedroic, Gielduc, Dombowsky, and Nieslowicy, the last parties of the confederation of Cracow, arrived at Warsaw, as prisoners of war.
The Russians cantoned in the environs of Warsaw, will soon go into winter quarters. The head quarters of General Suwarrows will be established at Wengrow or Sokolow, 36 miles from Warsaw.
General Derfelden is afterwards to command the division of Warsaw.
Lieut. Gen. Baron de Fersen was honored with the ribband of St. George, of the second class, and received besides a precious sword, and a considerable number of villages, with some hundred peasants in Livonia, as a recompence for the victory he gained near Maciewizy.
Prince Joseph Poniatowsky is at Warsaw; the corps he commanded laid down their arms; the Polish soldiers were engaged to enlist in the Prussian army or to settle in South Prussia.
The former Minister of Poland at Peterburgh, Mr. Deboli, has daily conferences with the Imperial cabinet.
NANTZ, Jan. 12.
THE rebels of Vendee are all disposed to lay down their arms, and enter again into the bosom of the Republic. Soroberie, commander of the Cavalry of Charette, adopts in his letters the language, Father of the Republic, speaks with respect of the National Convention, of the Representatives of the People, and substitutes, always the word Citizen, to that of Monsieur. The advance posts of the Rebels, and those of the Republicans, reply to each other aloud, Live the Republic! re-union and fraternity! Very lately 50 Cavaliers of Charette, and many hundred of the foot soldiers, re-united to our brave volunteers, shouted together, Live the Republic, only one rebel cried, Live the King. His officer reprimanded him severely, and declared he would make an example of him, had he not believed that it was from habit only he had uttered a word, which ought forever to be proscribed. Then anew they cried, Live the Republic, Live the Convention. They asked and received the kiss of peace & fraternity. Every thing shews the approaching end of the unhappy war of Vendee. The representative of the people of Ruelle was attended with impatience within the walls of Nantz.
TOULON, Jan. 11.
Great preparations are making here against Corsica. We expect a division of the Brest fleet, to join that in the Mediterranean. The ships of the enemy have not appeared for some time, it is supposed they have gone into Bastia and Calvi.
PARIS, Jan. 12.
The army of the Alps is actually reduced to 12 or 14 battalions. All the others have passed to the army in Italy. The report of an intended expedition from along the coast of Nice and Toulon, has spread an alarm thro' all the little Italian Courts—there is not a prince among them, who does not suppose that it is not directed against himself. Above all, the Court of Rome has routed from its stupor in which it has been sunk for some months. The Pope has begun anew his reviews and military promotion. Orders have been given to put Civitavecchia in a state of defence. The Court of Naples trembles to see a French grenadier give laws to his Sicilian Majesty, even in his own palace. The English, in turn, fear the fate of Corsica. In the midst of these general alarms, with pain we observe the state of Tuscany, whose glory is effaced entirely by the British tyranny. The court of Turin not only trembles for the states of Piedmont, but dreads an invasion of the island of Sardinia. The feeds of insurrection and discontent, which have existed in the island, since the last movements, have sprung up, and will at this day assist the approach of the French troops. Things evidently tend to great events in the Mediterranean, and this sea will soon be the theatre of the most decisive actions.
The Swedish Minister arrived here on the evening before last. He will appear in the Convention soon. We expect to-morrow an Envoy from Denmark.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25.
Capt. Brewton of the sloop Betsey, 35 days from St. Thomas's, on the 19th inst. in lat. 33, 14, spoke the sloop—Capt. Pegau, from New-York bound to Norfolk, out 17 days—all well.
The 8th in lat. 37, 16, long. 71, spoke the schooner Betsey, Capt. Finimore, from Guadalupe, bound to New-York, out 14 days—who informed, that he spoke a brig from Newport (R. I.) bound to Norfolk, out 5 weeks, dismasted.
In the sloop Betsey, Capt. Brewton, four of the people belonging to the privateer ship of war the Citoyen de Marseilles, Capt. Chobert, came passengers. They mention the following particulars:—
That about the 27th of Jan. after sailing from Cayenne, where their ship put in to refit, they captured near the island of Barbadoes, the ship Prince of Wales, a Guineaman, belonging to Liverpool, with 450 slaves, and mounting 10 guns. That they were put in possession of the prize, with an officer and 12 others, with orders to carry her into St. Thomas's, but in six days after, the blacks, having broke loose from confinement, attacked and killed one of them, before they could get possession of their fire-arms and cutlasses, when a dreadful conflict ensued, and after killing about 40 or 50 of the slaves and wounding a number, they again became masters of the ship, and soon after arrived at St. Thomas's.
The Prince of Wales is a fine new ship and until her last voyage, had been employed as a privateer, carrying twenty-four guns—and when our informants left St. Thomas's, she was equipping by order of a French agent, for the service of the Republic.
Previous to the taking off the Embargo the 12th inst. at the Havanna, there were sixty-two sail of American vessels, from the different ports in the United States. On the 10th the Spanish packet Esperanza, entered the Havanna, with the news of the taking of Figueras, &c.
Last evening arrived the brig Union Capt. Leader, from Amsterdam, who left there the evening before the Lydia, therefore, no news. Three days ago spoke the Whale, of Nantucket, 4 months and 15 days from the Isle of France in distress—hands sick with scurvy—her rudder lashed with a cable, and otherwise damaged having been ran foul by an English East Indian. Spoke only two other vessels on the passage.
Yesterday evening arrived here, the schooner Three Friends, Capt. Morgan, from the Ha-
vanna, who informs, that 60 sail of Americans lay at the Havanna, on the very day the embargo was taken off there, which was continued a month.—Capt. M. failed from thence on the 11th inst. in company with 20 sail of American vessels.
Capt. M. also informs, that 10 days before they left the Havanna, a large fleet consisting of 70 sail of merchantmen, under convoy of seven sail of the line and four frigates, had failed from thence for Cadiz.
One of the convoy was a 120 gun ship, one of 90, and one of 80 and the rest seventy-four's.
The above convoy is said to be one of the most formidable and richest fleets that have failed for many years for Spain.

STATE PAPER.
TRANSLATION.
The chevalier d'Engrestron presents his compliments to Mr. Pinckney, and has the honor of herewith communicating to him, a translation of the ordinance for the landing of foreign goods at Gottemburg; with an earnest hope that it may lead to a more extensive commerce between the two countries.
17 December, 1794.
HEADS of an EDICT respecting goods permitted to be imported and landed at Gottemburg, for exportation.
1. ALL kinds of foreign goods or merchandise may be imported for exportation in Swedish or foreign ships, and either on Sweden or foreign account, the following articles however excepted—viz. Salt, all kind of manufactured goods, foreign brandies or spirits, and farther all such kinds of goods or merchandise as the East-India company agreeable to charter are permitted to import. Rum, however is allowed to be imported for exportation when direct from America, either in ships belonging to the United States, or in Swedish ships.
2. All such foreign goods or merchandise imported in foreign ships for exportation, which according to the ordinances of Sweden may be imported for home consumption, are to be deposited in separate warehouses; but whatever is intended for home consumption the alien duty thereon, must be paid. All kinds of prohibited goods whatever either by foreign or Swedish ships are also to be deposited in separate warehouses where no other kind of goods for exportation must be found.
3. All kinds of goods for exportation are to be landed warehoused and re-shipped under the inspection of custom-house officers, and to remain under the custom-house lock.
4. All goods for exportation to pay the King's duty at 1-4 per cent. ad valorem when imported, and the same duty when exported, whether by Swedish or foreign ships.
5. Besides the aforementioned duty a recognition or town dues at 1 per M. ad valorem is to be when imported or exported.
6. The owners of goods for exportation have liberty of letting their goods remain in the warehouses during the term of two years, but if no opportunity before the expiration of that term, has been found, either for exporting the said goods or paying the duty thereon for home consumption, a prolongation of time, as far as three years if required, will be permitted, on due application, and on paying yearly 1-4 per cent. King's duty and 1 per M. town dues. In default or neglect thereof the different proprietors will be dealt with according to law.
7. The owners of goods deposited for exportation have also the liberty of pledging or transferring the property or any part thereof on giving due notice thereof to the commissioners of the customs, but no less quantity of goods can either be exported or permitted to pay duty, than what according to the commercial regulations come under the name of wholesale.
The foregoing note of 17 Dec. 1794, from chevalier d'Engrestron, is a faithful translation, and the ordinance therein referred to a true copy of the original communication from Mr. Pinckney, minister plenipotentiary of the United States at London, to the Secretary of state.
G. TAYLOR, jun. chief clerk, Department of state, 30th March, 1795.
Extracts of a letter from Barbadoes, dated the 28th of February.
"We hourly expect the arrival of 11,000 troops, and have received advice of their embarkation at Portsmouth.—We are here in the midst of war—the commander at Guadalupe has threatened us—but I have heard the threatened live long."
The officers of a small French privateer ship that arrived at St. Bartholomew's a few days before the sailing of the brig Alexandria, Capt. Primepeas, reported that they had been cruising 12 days, in which they took a Spanish ship, an English packet, and a sloop—the two last they sunk, and after taken out twenty thousand dollars, which they found in the Spanish ship, delivered her up to the prisoners, desiring them to proceed to the nearest English Island.
The privateer was said to have come from Virginia, but she is supposed to be the same that failed from the Delaware in the month of December last.
NEW-YORK, March 30.
A farmer in Maryland began to reap his wheat on the 16th of June last, (a week sooner than his neighbors) before it was quite ripe;—some of the straw was green and the grain was quite soft. This early wheat was compared with what stood in his field till the 19th of July, and proved to be 4lb. 5 oz. heavier a bushel than what stood till July. The country alarmed at

this boldness, imagined, and even reported, that he lost his barn and the wheat by the moisture occasioning it to take fire; whilst others said it was rotten to the shocks. In fact his wheat was finely cured; and secured without loss, after it had stood some time out in shocks.
BOSTON, April 9. From late ENGLISH PAPERS.
LORD MACARTNEY'S EMBASSY.
The literary world, we are informed, expect to be highly gratified by the observations made on this expedition, particularly upon the population of China, which will shortly be published.
From authentic documents, it is said, that the population of China may be stated at three hundred millions—a vast number!—Since from extracts made by a laborious German writer, of imperfect calculations in different nations, the present inhabitants of the universe are supposed to approach to eight hundred and fifty millions.
Lord Macartney, it is said, discovered that the Chinese were well informed of the circumstances and effects of the French revolution; that with their usual jealousy and precaution, the letters of some French priests and missionaries had been examined and intercepted, lest the seeds of Gallic democracy should be introduced into their vast empire.
REBELLION in GRENADA.*
A letter from Tobago, dated March 15, 1795, contains the following intelligence: "A gentleman just arrived from Grenada, which place he left the 13th inst. reports, that a rebellion of the natives and negroes broke out there on the 3d inst. and that the English had retreated to the town, except about 43 taken prisoners, and 9 killed, among the former were Gov. Home, and a Mr. Campbell; the rebels had got possession of all the Island except St. George's and the forts; that three frigates and several armed vessels had arrived to the assistance of the English, and were cruising to prevent the rebels getting any succour. A fleet with troops were expected."
*Grenada is one of the Caribees, and belonged to the French, until the peace of 1763.
St. LUCIA.
The accounts of the capture of this island, are various and contradictory. We believe that an insurrection has been effected therein, by the French Commissioners at Guadalupe. It is the fact, as it respects Grenada.
The following letter was written by Baron Trenck to his wife, the night before his execution.
"I am going to the scaffold, dear wife, without regret, except for quitting you. It was C** who forced me to seek an asylum in France. I die innocent. Revenge, if you can, my death. Forget the misery I have caused you during my miserable life, and let my children equally participate your tenderness and affection. Adieu. Take care of the good old man who is the bearer of this letter. He was my fellow prisoner, and the comfort of my sorrowful fate. Adieu for ever. Adieu. Adieu!"
(Signed) Frederic Baron de Trenck.
French Accounts,
Of the TAKING of AMSTERDAM, &c.
(From Baché's Aurora , of April 2 and 4.) THIS morning arrived here, the ship America , Capt. Ewing, from Havre, which place he left on the 20th of February. The Captain communicates the following
Important Intelligence.
THE Republicans had taken Amsterdam, with 1000 Merchantmen, 114 Ships of the Line, and 36 Frigates. The Dutch troops offered no resistance, agreeably to a proclamation of the States-General. The combined forces had retreated also without attempting to oppose the progress of the French. The British troops retired to a corner of Zealand.
The Stadtholder resigned his authority, in a letter to the States-General, in which he declares that he must depart, as he cannot longer be of service to his country; and for the same reason he had accepted the resignation of his two sons.
A Convention had been called in Amsterdam, to frame a Constitution, which was expected to be published on the 5th of February. The Dutch Admiral had hoisted the tri-coloured flag in the port of Amsterdam. The Stadtholder's arms had been taken down every where. These particulars are contained in papers bro't by Capt. Ewing.
The Captain says, generally, that the French on the side of Spain continued to be victorious; and intelligence of the fall of Bilboa, was daily looked for.
Tallien's party in the Convention still prevailed. Barrere, Billaud, and Collot, were under arrest; but the general opinion was that they would not suffer death.
It does not appear that freedom of trade has been restored yet, agreeably to the projected decree, of which we lately gave an account.
Just before Capt. Ewing failed, all restrictions, however, on the exportation of articles of luxury were taken off.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany has acknowledged the Republic; and obtained a peace.
PARIS, Feb. 7.
From BRUXELLES, Jan. 19.
The capitulation of the town and province of
Utrecht, concluded with the French, contains the following articles;
The lives and property of the inhabitants shall be under the protection of the law; no one shall be molested for his conduct during the war, or the period that preceded it. Entire liberty of the religious worship.
All the other articles have been declared by the French General beyond his power to grant, and have been referred to the decision of the Representatives of the French people.
January 27.
Every moment we are favoured with new details of the immense riches which victory has delivered to the Republicans in Holland. They exceed even the fondest wishes we entertained. They found a superb foundry of arms at the Hague; the city of Delft offered the most considerable and best furnished arsenal of Europe. The city of Dordrecht contained 632 brass cannons, 40,000 stands of arms an immense quantity of warlike stores of all kinds, and provisions enough to maintain an army of 40,000 men during a whole campaign. Excellent dock yards fitted in a masterly manner for the construction of ships, and provided with timber enough to erect a numerous fleet were only part of the immense advantages resulting from the capture of Rotterdam. Every where magazines glutted with provisions, which the Dutch, guided by a prudent economy, stored up, in order to sell them with double advantage in calamitous years.
Gold is not the most precious article the provinces of Holland offer us. Provisions of all kinds, and an abundance of those merchandizes which begin to become scarce in France, are of much more importance to the Republic, and if we know how to take all the advantages of this conquest, the former abundance will soon return to France. The maintaining of our armies will cost the Republic not a farthing, and our enemies disgraced, confounded, defeated and routed on all sides, will be glad to accept kneeling, the conditions we shall please to grant them.
From PERRIGNAN, Jan. 11.
The bad weather delays, it is true, the progress of our victorious army; but it does not suffer alone; it has been a greater injury to the enemy. Their fleet suffered much in the night of the 16th and 17th; one of their large vessels has lost every mast or spar, and was towed in; 12 or 15 transports were cast ashore between the mouth of the Mougá to Roses. Several vessels besides were dismasted, among others, the Vice Admiral's.
The Rosebud has been evacuated; and as we are in possession of the bud we shall soon be in possession of the Roses.
FEBRUARY 8.
Extract of a letter, dated Brest, Jan. 29.
The division of rear admiral Vanstalle, composed of eight ships of the line and some frigates, which formed the light squadron of the grand fleet, entered the road last evening and this morning. It was separated from the grand fleet by the foggy weather, nine days after its departure from Brest road. No news is arrived from the grand fleet, which will without doubt soon return, because of the W. and S.W. winds.
P. S. A courier is just arrived, and brings the disagreeable intelligence of the loss of the Neptune, a 74 gun ship: she made nine inches water in an hour, all hands were employed at the pumps except the captain; the cannons were thrown overboard; and the ship was at last run ashore near Poros, in a bay between Brehat and Morlyx, 36 miles from Brest. The Neptune was one of the oldest ships, and never much depended on—The loss is, therefore, of little consequence to the naval force of the republic.
NIMEGUEN, Feb. 2.
The representatives of the people with the armies of the North, of Sambre and Meuse, wrote to the Convention from Hague, on the 18th Jan. "The strongholds, Williamstadt, Breda, Gorcum, and Bergen-op-Zoom; the Dutch fleet detained in the Texel by the ice; the ports of Triel and Hellebom, are all in the hands of the republicans. We owe the capture of the last mentioned port to General Bonneau. Learning that 600 of our brethren were there held prisoners of war, he gave intimation to the commander of that fort of his intentions to get possession of it. He, in consequence armed our brothers, who drove out the English."
"We send off to Paris as prisoners of war, the princes Salm and Hohlenhoe, (not the great Hohlenhoe who was in the Austrian service) who were aloft with an Aid-de-Camp of Clairfayt."
"They had offered a considerable sum to two Captains, one Danish, the other American, to transport them to England. These brave men answered that not being at war with the French they would do nothing against their interests, that they should observe a strict neutrality. We shall write to the minister of Denmark and the United States, to testify to them the gratitude of the French Republic."
A thousand plaudits interrupted the reading of this interesting intelligence.
FEBRUARY 7.
The popular society of the commune of St. Fleur addresses the Convention:—"We will have neither tyrants with red caps, nor crowned tyrants, we vow an implacable hatred to both; we solicit you on the 73 deputies; we solicit the immediate punishment of the remains of Robespierre's faction. Honorable mention."
FEBRUARY 12.
Marec, organ of the Committee of Public Safety, reported that the Brest fleet had experienced, during its cruise, which had been only 34 hours, the fury of the winds; three vessels have been sunk, but their crews, however, had
been saved; three others had been damaged, but not very considerably; two of them have been since repaired.
The same member reported, that since the arrival of the last messenger, 28 prizes had been taken.
FEBRUARY 13.
The Hollanders have established a Convention. Their constitution is to be published the 5th of Feb. The arms of the Stadtholder are every where taken down. The States General of the United Provinces have decreed the following proclamation; it has just been published:—
PROCLAMATION.
"The representatives of the French people who are at present in this country, having communicated to us that it would be necessary to make immediate provision for the pressing wants of the French army, and having consequently demanded the following articles:
 200,000 quintals of wheat,  5,000,000 bundles of hay of 15lbs.  200,000 bundles of straw each of 10lbs.  5,000,000 measures of oats, of 10lbs.  150,000 pair of shoes,  20,000 pair of boots,  20,000 coats and waistcoats,  40,000 pair of breeches,  150,000 overalls,  200,000 shirts,  50,000 hats. 
The whole to be delivered at three several periods, within one month, at Bois-le-duc, Thiel, and Nimeguen.
And further—12,000 oxen, in the space of two months.
Decreed to be furnished accordingly."
BOSTON, April 13.
It was reported at the time Capt. Ewing left Havre, (arrived at Philadelphia) that Mr. Fox had been solicited to accept the appointment of Minister in Great-Britain, but that upright, inflexible statesman, we hear, had declined the appointment.
It is given as an article of intelligence by the America, that the new government of Holland has sent to England to demand several Dutch Men of War, which were there.
On the 8th of Feb. the National Convention passed a decree virtually unpantheonizing MARAT, and decreed at the same time, that the memory of no one should receive the honors of the pantheon till ten years after the death of the person.
Latest From FRANCE.
We learn, that a vessel has arrived at Philadelphia, in 30 odd days from France, bringing Intelligence into February—the principal articles of which are, That the Dutch were busily employed in organizing a REVOLUTIONARY GOVERNMENT , for the United Netherlands ; that the officers and seamen of the Dutch navy, had declared in favour of the French; and that the navy was to be employed as auxiliaries to the French.
In a St. Croix paper, it is mentioned, that St. Lucia and Grenada, are in the hands of the French.

Townsend, who arrived on Sunday in 16 days from Martinique, informs, that accounts were received there, that Grenada, was taken by the French, in consequence of which the troops were embarked on board the men of war, and failed for that place. The French Whites and free Negroes are obliged to do duty at Martinique, and every company of them have some English soldiers to overlook them. He spoke with a vessel from Guadalupe, for Cape-Ann, who informed him St. Kitts was taken.
There are accounts in town, from various quarters, of the capture of St. Vincents, St. Lucia, and Grenada.
NEWBURY-PORT, April 7.
A gentleman who came passenger with Capt. Fletcher, from Dublin, informs that the people there are quite tired of the war, manufactures stopped, and the inhabitants wished for an insurrection—The militia had been ordered out, but peremptorily refused any assistance in quelling a riot, which occasioned a skirmish with the city-guard. A new Lord-Lieutenant had arrived from England a short time before he failed, named FITZWILLIAM.
A letter from Fort-Royal (Martinico) dated March 18, to a gentleman in this town, says "The islands to the windward are in a state of insurrection—St. Lucia, St. Vincents and Grenada are taken, and this place is in a poor situation to make any resistance in case it should be attacked."

"Property in the West-Indies is very unsafe at present, we have information from Grenada, that the French have sent supplies of arms and ammunition to that island, and that the French inhabitants of Grenada and mulattoes had risen upon the British—burnt some estates, and we are fearful this insurrection will prove fatal to that flourishing island. I have but a moment to spare, as martial law is this day commenced, and we are obliged to hold ourselves in readiness at a moments warning."

P UBLIC notice is hereby given, that the inhabitants of the town of Alexandria, petitioned the General-Court of said State, at their session at Concord on the third Tuesday of December, 1794, setting forth, that they labour under many inconveniences by reason of the disagreeable form in which said town lies; also by reason of a large mountain that crosses about midway of the length thereof, which renders it almost impossible for the inhabitants of the south and those of the north part to assemble on any occasion whatever, without travelling a great length of way to get by said mountain; and praying that a division of said town may be made at or near the middle thereof.
Upon which petition it is ordered that the petitioners be heard thereon before the General-Court on the second Thursday of the next session; and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing; also cause that a like copy be posted up in some public place in the town of Alexandria, for the same term of time, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer of said petition may not be granted.
