LATE IMPORTANT
News from France.
Received by Capt. HOWLAND, arrived at Boston, from Ireland, in 55 days.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 31.
Extract of an authentic Letter.
It is utterly in vain for the Emperor to trust to the resources of his own dominions, for they are exhausted, and unless he is countenanced in making a loan in England, his efforts must be feeble. The king of Prussia does not disguise his meaning. He either is, or affects to be poor, and he says explicitly that he must be subsidized; and we are given to understand that the British Ministers are resolved to go on, and that a treaty for subsidizing Prussia is actually in negotiation.
Of the events which have passed in France we have the most conflicting accounts. Nothing can resist the impetuosity of the Republicans. Every where they have been successful. We cannot give you a perfect idea of the gloom that has over spread this place by the news from Toulon, and the no less disastrous accounts from the Rhine. No less than 30,000 men of the Combined Armies of Europe have fallen within the last fortnight. Not less than 50,000 souls in all have within the last fourteen days of this disastrous year perished, and so far has this butchery been from promoting the objects of the war, that it has almost to a certainty been the triumph of Republicanism in France. They are disgracefully expelled from the Mediterranean frontier; and letters from the Rhine say, that after the fatal 24th, Wurmser had resolved, by a Council of War to try the issue of only one more attack, to retrograde with all the force, and to resume the strong position at Weissenbourg, here to make his last desperate stand. On the 24th according to daily custom, he was attacked by 30,000 Frenchmen, though he had been reinforced by the troops of the Palatinate and by the Prince de Conde, and fought the whole day with his usual courage and obstinacy, his line was broken. His left wing in part composed by the troops of the Palatinate, was broken by the enemy, charged, and routed towards the evening; and nothing but the night saved them from total ruin. Their loss was considerable. The Emigrants also left 500 on the field—and the whole army is so extenuated, and reduced by those daily attacks, so harassing as well as so murderous, that we have lost all hopes of the capture of Landau, or of being able to continue in France.
PARIS, Dec. 27.
On the 30th inst. a great National Fete will be celebrated here, of which DAVID, the deputy, has presented the plan, in the name of the Committee of Public Instruction.
Citizen DURAND, Adjutant-General of the Army in Italy, has been appointed temporary Commandant of Marseilles.
Letters from Strasbourg state, that it is hourly expected that the French Army of the Rhine will effect its junction with that of the Moselle.
Letters from St. Moles, of the 14th inst. an-
nounce, that every preparation is making in that port to carry on works that will render it fit to receive men of war.
A letter from Havre-de-Grace, of the 19th inst. announces that immense preparations are carrying on in that harbor to attack ENGLAND. The utmost activity is displayed in all the docks; and all the merchantmen have been put into requisition, and are now arming. These vessels are to carry the troops now collecting in the adjacent Departments. In a short time they will be in flat bottomed vessels, for the purpose of disembarkation, will be constructed. To attack London, and to carry it, will be the same thing to our soldiers, animated with the passion of Liberty!
JOHN BAPTISTE HOTRIER, a shoemaker, was yesterday condemned to death for having furnished shoes to the Army of an inferior quality, and for other fraudulent practices.
The grand total of prisoners in this capital, amounts now to 4495.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
DEC. 24.
Plan of the decree, proposed by the Committee of Public Safety.
Art. I. The army of the Republic against Toulon, has deserved well of its country.
II. There shall be celebrated thro' the whole extent of the Republic, a National Festival in every commune on the 1st decade, after the publication of the present decree; the whole of the National Convention shall assist at this Civic ceremony.
III. The Representatives of the People, with the victorious army of Toulon, are charged to make out a list of the brilliant actions which distinguished the recapture of that rebellious city.
IV. They shall decree, in the name of the Republic, recompences to those brave citizens, who have signalized themselves by great exploits.
V. The name of Toulon is suppressed; that commune in future shall be called Port de la Montagne, (Port of the Mountain.)
VI. The houses within the city shall be razed, there shall be only reserved the necessary establishments for the service of the army, the Marine provisions and stores.
VII. The intelligence of the taking of Toulon, shall be transmitted to the Armies, and to the Departments, by extraordinary couriers.
The Convention adopted the decree unanimously, amid shouts of Vive la Republique , and voted the following
Address to the Armies.
“The Arms of the Republic are once more triumphant. Toulon which had basely sold itself to the English, is taken from them, by an army which has recovered that rebellious city, at the point of the bayonet, and made up by its bravery for its want of numbers. Soldiers of the Republic, mark the example presented to you by your brothers in arms. Will you longer suffer the satellites of tyrants to pollute the soil of Equality? Is not victory always the reward of your courage? Strike then, exterminate the vile slaves, who have taken flight, when the children of liberty have measured their strength with them. Already the dastardly English, beaten under the wall of Dunkirk and chased from Toulon, are baffled forever. La Vendee, thrice cut to pieces in fifteen days is surrounded on every side. On the Rhine, new advantages have in a part repaired the losses we sustained by treachery, and leave nothing to be done but to succour Landau. In the North, Maubeuge has been delivered. Soldiers of your country, such has been the success of your efforts and your courage within three months.—What do you wait for to terminate the campaign of Liberty but the entire destruction of tyrants? Seize that weapon so terrible to them; that with the bayonet at their backs, they may be forced to run and hide their disgrace in their retreats; and France, delivered from her enemies, will owe to you the happiness which the establishment of liberty promises, and the glory of having triumphed over all Europe.”
December 25.
To the Minister at War, by the Commander in Chief of the army in Italy.
“Head-Quarters, at Osioules, Dec. 19.
“Citizen Minister,
“Toulon is restored to the Republic, and the success of our arms is complete. The Promontory of L'Aiguillette being the place which was to decide the fate of that infamous city, as I have already informed thee, the position which it presents being to render certain the retreat of the enemies, or the burning of their ships by the effects of our bombs, all possible means were combined, on the 16th to conquer that position. The weather was against us, and made us suffer till about one o'clock in the morning, but nothing could quell the ardour of freemen combating tyrants.”
“The Representatives of the People, Robertspierre, Saliceti, Ricard, and Freron, were with us. They set to our brothers an example of their most signal devotion. This fraternal
and heroic union being well calculated to merit victory, did not tarry long to declare itself in our favour; and soon by a prodigy fit to be quoted in history, put in our hands the English redoubt, defended by a double inclosure; a camp entrenched with hedges, consisting of chevaux de frise, abatis, bridges, 13 mortars of cannon, 36 and 24 pounders, five mortars, and 5000 chosen troops: It was farther supported by the cross-fires of three other redoubts, which contained 3000 men.
“The Republican impetuosity, and the sudden capture of this terrible redoubt, which from those heights resembled an inaccessible, Vulcano, terrified the enemy in such a manner, that they soon abandoned to us the rest of the promontory, and spread in Toulon a panic which was raised to the highest pitch, when it was known that the squadrons had evacuated the road.
“I ordered, on the same day, the attacks upon Malbosquet, and other posts, to be continued. Then Toulon lost all hopes; and the redoubts, that of Pomet and Pharon, and several others were evacuated the following night.
“At last Toulon was also evacuated in its turn. But the enemy, when withdrawing, had the address of covering their flight and we could not pursue them. It was rendered safe by the ramparts of the city, the gates of which being shut with the utmost care, it was impossible to obtain the least information.
“The fire which was at the head of the harbour was the only signal of their departure. We immediately advanced closer to Toulon; and it was not till after midnight that we became sure of its having been abandoned by its vile inhabitants, and by that infamous coalition which foolishly pretended to subject us to its controul.
“The precipitation with which the general evacuation was effected, saved us almost the whole of our property, and the greatest part of the ships.—Toulon restores to us by force all that which treason had wrested from us. I will speedily send you a statement of all the articles worth notice.
“While the division of the West of our army prepared this great event—that of the East, commanded by General Lapoye, had advanced with Barras, the Representative of the people, upon the Mountain of Pharon, and carried the first redoubt; all the rest like fort Pharon, were evacuated by the enemy. We lost 15 or 18 of our brothers, and the number of the wounded amounts to about 250. It is hardly possible to ascertain the enemy's loss, but only by the wounded who arrive among us; but we may assure you—that adding to the wounded the killed and prisoners, we took from them in this battle is upwards of 12,000 men.
“Thus is terminated, Citizen Minister, the Counter-revolution of the South: We owe it to the brave Republicans who form this army, which has wholly and entirely well deserved of the country; and some individuals which compose it ought to be distinguished by national gratitude; I send you a list of them, and intreat you to receive favorably my demands. The list will make known to you all those who have been more briske in the action, and I expect with confidence the preference which I solicit in their behalf.

Pechegru, Commander in Chief of the army of the Rhine, to the Minister of War.
Head-Quarters, Haguenau, Dec. 23.
“I did not write to you an account of the action of yesterday, because General Hoche, with whom I then was, sent you a Courier on this occasion. Our troops shewed a true Republican courage; the most formidable positions, fortified by whatever art could add to nature, were carried by the point of the bayonet. The action was renewed this morning; but as, at an early hour, I quitted the left, to go to the right, I am ignorant of what Hoche has done to day.
“The enemy has quitted Bischoffers, Dufheim, and Haguenau, notwithstanding of the almost continued works by which they had covered the line which joins the two posts. The last had been fortified with such care that it required nothing less than the dispositions we had made, and the bravery and courage which our soldiers alone shewed, to oblige them to retreat. We will only wait the time necessary to refresh the troops, who are greatly fatigued, and we will not give them any relaxation.”
“I have requested the Magistrates to point out to me the Aristocrats who remain in the town, that I may treat them as they deserve. I do not yet know all that has been taken from the enemy; but there are cannon, ammunition, covered waggons, and baggage, in great plenty. There are at least a thousand prisoners. I hope to give you good news to-morrow.
(Signed) PECHEGRU.”
Citizen Hoche, commanding the Army of the Moselle, to the Minister of War.
“Head-Quarters, at Verch, Dec. 23.
“I could not yesterday give you any details, being so very busy; and am yet so. However, according to the best reports I have had, we

have taken 16 pieces of cannon, 24 tumbrils, from 450 to 500 prisoners, and killed or wounded 500. The briskness of the attack occasioned us only a small loss, of about 80 killed and 150 wounded.
"The attack was made at day light. The troops came without breeches. I desire you will make known to the Convention and the Republic the names of the troops who behaved best, the 3d regiment of Hussars, the 14th Dragoons, the Carbineers, and the 55th regiment of Infantry."
"General Dubois, unfortunately wounded, behaved like a hero, or what is better, like a Republican."
"Carts full of arms are yet brought in. I have given the locks to the brave volunteers. I have issued this night the most precise orders, the grand development of the army shall take place. It only remains for me to lead on the Army of the Rhine; and if the right second me, I will proceed."
"I have two tatters of colours taken from the soldiers of crowned plunderers. I will send them on the first occasion to the National Convention. I cannot write more."
(Signed) "HOCHÉ."
DEC. 27.
Carnot, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, read the following letter: Salicetti, Ricard, Freron, Robespierre, and Barras to their colleagues composing the committee of Public Safety.
Head-Quarters, Toulon, Dec. 20. Second year of the Republic One & Indivisible. "The Army of the Republic, dear Colleagues, entered Toulon yesterday, at seven in the morning, after five days and five nights fighting and fatigue; It burnt with impatience to give the assault; 4000 shells were ready; but the cowardice of the enemy; who had evacuated the place after having spiked all the cannon on the ramparts, rendered the scaling useless."
"When the enemy knew the capture of the English redoubt, and the whole promontory, and saw all the heights of Phalon occupied by the division of Gen. Lapoye, terror seized them. They entered Toulon in treachery, they kept themselves there like cowards, and quit it like villains. They blew up the Themistocles, which served as a prison for the Patriots; happily the latter, except six, found means to escape during the fire. They burnt nine of our ships, and carried away three; fifteen are reserved to the Republic, among which must be remarked the superb Sans-Culotte, of 130 guns. Some boats approached it as far as the harbor whilst we were in Toulon; but two field-pieces placed on the quay dispersed them. Four frigates were already burning, when the galley slaves, who are the most honest people in Toulon, cut their cables, and extinguished the fire. The rope-yard and the wood magazine are not damaged. Fire threatening to consume the general magazine, we commanded 500 workmen to cut off the communication. There are some frigates left, so that the Republic still has a respectable naval force here. We found provisions of every kind, of which a statement is making out, which we will send to you."
"The National vengeance is displaying itself and the shooting goes on briskly. All the marine officers are already terminated. The Republic shall be revenged in a manner worthy of it! The manes of the Patriots shall be appeased."
"One of our batteries has sunk an English frigate."
"Salicetti, Freron, Richard, Robespierre, Barras."
L O N D O N, Jan. 2-3.
Letters received by a Spanish Nobleman from Toulon, contain the following extraordinary information,—That after repeated dissensions between Lord Hood and the Spanish Admiral Grawine, relative to the French ships, the former a few days prior to the evacuation of Toulon had taken upon himself the sole command, assuring the other that he had received instructions to that purpose from the Court of London.
His Lordship immediately issued Proclamations, informing the inhabitants that they were hereafter to be under the protection of his Britannic Majesty alone. Lord Hood ordered the Arsenal to be set fire to, as well as several parts of the city.
He then retired, with the principal inhabitants, on board the British fleet, without entering into any consultation with the Spanish Admiral respecting the execution or the manner in which it might be the most advantageously conducted.
In consequence of this conduct, the Spanish fleet, stationed in the inner harbor, had not made the necessary preparations for unmooring, bending the sails, &c. and therefore, received very considerable damage. It is even doubted, whether they were able to get out of the harbor.
JANUARY 4.
Last night Mr. Heslop, the messenger, arrived with dispatches from Petersburg and Berlin, from which last place he has come in six days. There, accounts have been received of a series of successes gained by the Duke of Brunswick and Wurmser, on the 18th, 19th, and 20th ult. in which the French lost many men, and a great number of cannon. They continued their attacks, however, on the following days, and it appears by letters from Frankfort of the 26th, they so far succeeded as to oblige General Wurmser to fall back to Sulz.
In the sitting of the Convention of the 27th December, a letter was read from the Commissioners with the army at Toulon, which stated that the Allied Troops had left that place with great precipitation—that before their departure they had set fire to several French ships in the harbor, nine of which were consumed—That the Themistocles had been blown up, and that the Allies had only carried away three ships
—That there remained fifteen French ships in the harbor, which they had not been able to destroy, and among them the Sans-Culottes of 130 guns—that by the assistance of the Galley Slaves, the fire at Arsenal and other buildings had been extinguished, and that a quantity of ammunition and provisions had been found in that place—that Citizen Beauvais, the Commissioner from the Convention, who had been taken in Toulon, had been released and conducted from prison, amidst the applauses of the People. This account likewise mentions some frigates belonging to the Allies having been sunk in the harbor.
The French armies of the Moselle and the Rhine, having formed a junction, have at last succeeded in driving General Wurmser from his strong position at Haguenau, with considerable loss; and as their principle of war is to act in great bodies, and to press constantly forward he will probably be obliged to evacuate the whole province. Their Generals appear to acquire military skill by experience, and their soldiers are evidently worked up to a pitch of enthusiasm, which toil, nakedness, and carnage, cannot repress.
WEST-INDIES.
Copy of a letter addressed by Commodore J. Ford, Captain of the ship Europa, Commander of the English Squadron anchored in the road of Port Republican to Sonthonax, civil commissary from the French Republic, at St. Domingo.
On board the Europa before Port-au-Prince, 2d January, 1794.
SIR, THE fleet which it has pleased His Britannic Majesty to trust under my command, is now in part before your port; and notwithstanding the want of respect, on the part of the inhabitants of Port-au-Prince, to the proclamation at Jeremie, on the 23d of September last, by Col. Whitelock, commander of the British forces in that district and its dependencies; nevertheless to prevent the greater effusion of blood, once more, and by a flag of truce, I offer you the same terms granted to the inhabitants of St. Mark's, the shipping in the port excepted, which cannot reasonably be included in the capitulation, since they have obliged me to employ force instead of the prayer which has been without effect.
I promise also in good faith to recommend to the Minister of Great-Britain, such other privileges and immunities to the people of color, which may be judged proper and expedient according to the necessity of the case, at the conclusion of the war, with the entire conviction that all reasonable concession will be made at that period. The naval forces now before your eyes, and the troops which are embarked for that purpose, are too powerful for you to resist; but, before I shall be forced to the cruel necessity of drawing the sword, have thought proper, after the impulse of humanity, to frankly inform you of my intention, and that in case of resistance on your part, you will lead me to the cruel extremity of destroying so beautiful and important a city, the blame of which must fall on you only and not on me; therefore, I entreat you very earnestly to let reason take place in this perilous moment, and to reflect very seriously on your present situation. I have charged Captain Rowley, an officer of experience and distinction in his Majesty's navy, to inform you that I shall suspend the attack, until to-morrow morning at break of day, and afterwards to return on board the fleet which will determine definitely the fate of Port-au-Prince. He has also my instructions to communicate to you the advice, which I have received from the naval and military forces which are arrived at Barbadoes, the efforts of which (I fervently wish) may not be applied to this unfortunate colony, which greatly depends on your proper conduct; he will also inform you of the reduction of some important posts in France to the British arms.
J. Ford, Commodore and Commander in chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels, employed and to be employed at Jamaica and its dependencies, and to the Bahama islands.
Certifying the above conforms to the original in English,
B. J. Rowley, Captain of his Majesty's frigate Penelope.
Answer from the Civil Commissary. The Civil Commissary from the French Republic, at St. Domingo, to Commodore Ford, Commander of his Britannic Majesty's naval forces at the Antilles.
Commodore,
I HAVE communicated to the commanders of the armed forces, and to the Representatives of the People of Port Republican, the dispatches and project of capitulation which has been transmitted to me yesterday on your part, by Captain Rowley—All have unanimously rejected your propositions—They will live and die Frenchmen; they will not violate their oath.
The white citizens are invariably attached to the principles of the National Convention: They have seen in the 4th article of the propositions from the British government, a formal contempt of the law of the 4th of April, 1791. They never will suffer their brothers of color, to be plunged a second time into the barbarous prejudices of ignominy, become intolerable to an enlightened people. The ancient friends of all colors are united in heart and soul for general liberty. The Africans, on their part, have sworn to defend the property of their patrons.
Such are, Commodore, our dispositions. I counsel you to have an unprofitable attack on Port Republican: Her inhabitants are unacquainted with capitulating before an enemy.
Captains Adlon and Boyer will remit you this answer. I acquaint you that all suspensions of hostilities will cease, the moment my flag of truce returns.
SONTHONAX.
P. S. Captain Aldon and Boyer will be accompanied by Citizen Oge, Aid-de-Camp to the Commander of the Province.
In return for the news from Europe, that you have charged Capt. Rowley to transmit me, I have the honor to inform you, that Toulon has been re-taken by the French, that the English fleet commanded by Admiral Hood, has been taken in the port. I have communicated to your officers the English papers which announced to us these successes.
Domestic Articles.
PROVIDENCE, MARCH 8.
Extract of a letter from Messrs. JOHN BULKLEY and SON, dated Lisbon, Dec. 10, 1793. Addressed to a house in this town.
"We hope soon to hear from the United States of effectual measures being taken to stop the further depredations of the Algerines. Three or four stout frigates, well manned, would keep them within the Straits. Two American vessels arrived at Gibraltar, about the 22d Oct. and many at Cadiz, where there are 25; three are come into St. Ubes for salt, and about nine into this port; all are to return with convoy."
BOSTON, MARCH 15.
Capt. CROSS, of Portland, from Surinam for Portland, was boarded by an English privateer, who took out part of his hands, and manned her; but a short time after Capt. CROSS rose on the crew, and carried his vessel into St. Thomas.
Capt. RICH from St. Martins, informs, that at that port he was told by Capt. SHELDON, of Newport, that he had been boarded by a British frigate, the commander of which acquainted him, that he had orders to prevent American vessels carrying produce to the French West-India Islands; and told Capt. S. that if he persisted in prosecuting his voyage to the French Island, after that warning, he would be made a prize of, and carried in; and that he was cruising to give American vessels this notice.
The advocates for the continuance of Peace in the United States, respecting, as they do, the memorable declaration of Independence, which commands them to hold the King and subjects of Great-Britain, as they do the rest of the world, as "Friends in Peace"; and revering the proclamation of the Chief-Magistrate of the United States, and the injunctions of neutrality, have endeavoured to put the most favourable construction on the conduct of that nation; and have waited the issue of deliberate and temperate negotiation: That negotiation ended the first day of December last; and the result has been communicated to the PRESIDENT of the United States, and by him to Congress. The terms, proposed by Britain in them, are said to be such as cannot be accepted by the United States, without the sacrifice of national dignity and honour. This circumstance, with the numerous piracies, spoliations and detentions on our commerce in the West-Indies, have turned the current of public opinion. There are points beyond which men of the most wisdom and prudence will not be pushed; and when irritated they form the most determined enemies. The British rulers have no just idea of the American character if they suppose its friendship for peace can suffer it tamely to bear the outrage of insult and plunder: or that the citizens of the United States have not spirit enough to resent injuries. THEY MAY FIND, TOO LATE, THOUGH A SACRED REGARD TO LAWS AND TREATIES DEMAND OF THEM IN PEACE THE OFFICES OF FRIENDSHIP, THAT IN WAR THEY CAN BE THE MOST INVETERATE OF ENEMIES.
In resenting injuries Americans ought to act on the broadest principles—and to demand of every nation reparation for insults and spoliations. The property in the funds of the United States, belonging to the King and subjects of Great-Britain, is said to be near twenty millions of dollars. The detention of this sum would form a valuable fund for indemnifications.
Orders respecting the supply of timber, to build part of the frigates ordered by Congress, are said to be received in this Commonwealth. A correspondent queries, whether there are not ships already built, which, with a little alteration, would make good frigates?
The French Indian's cargo is rated at 7 millions livres—The deductions from this sum for commissions to agent, auctioneer, and portage, is said to be 499,900 livres. The Agent's commission is 350,000 livres.
MARCH 17.
From PHILADELPHIA—March 3-8.
A report has been circulated for these two days past, and has now obtained general belief, that General Clark has gone down the Mississippi with 2000 men, on an expedition against New-Orleans. The general government have unequivocally denied giving the least countenance direct or indirect to this attempt.
On Tuesday in the House of Representatives, Mr. Sedgwick called up the proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, respecting the Suability of States, which passed the Senate some time since. After some discussion of the subject the House concurred with the Senate 81 to 9.
The consideration of Mr. Madison's resolutions is postponed to Monday next.
Capt. Beede, of the Active, from Guadalupe, informs, that it was reported and believed, in that Island—that a British armament, of 9 sail of the line, and 5 or 6000 troops, had taken possession of St. Pierre and Trinity, in the Island of Martinique, on the 7th of February; that General Rochambeau, the French commander, had collected his forces at Fort Bourbon, and being well supplied with provisions, &c. it was expected he would make a successful resistance.
Capt. Vanfise is arrived here from Martinique, in a short passage; we hear that he brings accounts of a large number of American vessels being there; that provisions were plenty, and the force on the Island so respectable as to be under no apprehension of the English.
Capt. Vanfise informs, that an American vessel from a British island was carried into Martinique, after having been plundered of some property on board—the Commander in Chief of the island, Rochambeau, left the matter to a Committee of Merchants, in consequence of whose decision, the property taken was ordered to be immediately restored, and 10 per cent. allowed for damages.
[Thus far from Philadelphia]
Extract of a letter from an American Captain at Montserrat to his owners at Newbury-Port, Dated Feb. 4, 1794.
"After my sailing from the Point the 19th of January, the 20th I was taken by the ship Mary and brought into this port, where I find 29 sail more of American vessels. My trial comes on in 10 or 12 days, but it is impossible to say when I shall meet you as we are in the hands of a parcel of devils. I hope you have some left who will retaliate for the usage we have received. I have protested against the owner, master and officers of the ship, and shall proceed home the first opportunity. My cargo consisted of Molasses, coffee, cotton and sugar, but all is gone, and damn them that have got the most of it."
N. B. The British Packet arrived here on the second inst. and brings news of the REBELLION in Scotland—and that never such a disaster was known in all Europe; the brave French ARMY drive all before them.

Copy of a Letter from Dr. PRIESTLY, to Mr. J. GOUGH, at Savannah.
CLAPTON, AUG. 21, 1793.
SIR, "I WAS highly gratified by the account you were so good as to transmit to me, of the favorite manner in which the news of the revolution in France was received in America, especially as at that time there were doubts entertained on the subject. That many viewed it in an unfavorable light with you I have no doubt, but that a revolution, in all the essentials so nearly resembling your own, should not be thought a joyful event by the Americans in general, I could not believe. Your letter made me quite easy on the subject, and enabled me to satisfy my friends. Since that time there have been more revolutions, as they may be called, in France; all, however, I am willing to think, favorable to liberty and happiness, though at the time I and all my friends were disposed to forebode ill, as our particular friends were the sufferers.—The last constitution seems now to give almost universal satisfaction; the insurrection seems to be nearly suppressed, and as to their foreign enemies, they make light of them. Indeed they have only served to rouse and unite them."
"We have been alarmed with the apprehensions of a war with America; but I hope there will be wisdom on your side of the water, tho' little I fear on ours, to prevent it. Both countries must be materially injured by such an event, and neither of them could be a gainer. This indeed, is the case with respect to all wars, but more obviously so in this than in most others."
"I send this by my sons, who are going to find a settlement in your country. All I have (three) will be there, and then I shall expect to follow soon. I cannot give you an idea of the violence with which every friend of liberty is prosecuted in this country.—Little of the liberty of the press on political subjects is left, and the country in general goes heartily with the court with all their measures; so that nothing but general calamity, which I fear is approaching, will open their eyes. The source of all this evil is want of knowledge in the lower and some not of the lower, orders of the people. The French have wisely provided against this evil by a system of public instruction. Here even Sunday Schools begin to be reprobated, as making the common people too knowing."
"With much gratitude for your communications,
I am, Sir, yours sincerely.
J. PRIESTLY."

NORFOLK, March 1. IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Yesterday arrived here, in 18 days from St. Thomas's, the brig Cassandra, Capt. Alderson, who informs, that 15 days before he failed, 6 or 8 sail of British ships of the line, arrived at Barbadoes with troops, destined for the attack of the French Islands—That the commander in chief had issued a Proclamation, declaring all vessels of neutral powers, bound to or from any of the French Islands, to be lawful prizes to the captors—That a general and indiscriminate condemnation of American vessels, with French produce, had taken place in Montserrat, and nearly so in all the other British Islands—That just before he failed, he dined with upwards of 20 American Captains in St. Eustatia, whose vessels had been condemned in the British ports, or who, finding no chance of getting off, had abandoned them—That notwithstanding the late augmentation of the British forces in the West-Indies, the French were in the highest spirits, and so far from fearing any attack they rather wished it—That the French Privateers of St. Lucie, Guadaloupe and Martinique are in general very successful, and made several captures even in the mouths of the British ports—The number of French privateers out of the above three Islands from the best authority amount to upwards of five and forty. Capt. Alderson further adds, that during his stay at Trinidad in the month of Dec. last, the French Privateers had taken a number of prizes in the neighborhood of that place—and had burnt one of the King's Guards coafters—and that previous to his leaving St. Thomas's, two very valuable prizes had been sent in there, one of which was taken by a captain Talbot. Provisions of every kind are extremely high at Trinidad; and when the Cassandra failed from Trinidad, early in January, flour sold for seventeen dollars pr. barrel—and that a general embargo is laid on all foreign vessels in the British Islands.
PHILADELPHIA, March 8. Extract of a letter from an officer in the army to his friend in this city.
"Greenville, Jan. 21, 1794." "Peace, which has been the great wish of the Union, and which we have solicited so often without success, and been rejected by the Billigerent tribes of savages in the most contemptuous manner, is now offered us, by one of those tribes, and will, I have no doubt, be joined by all."
"A few days since, a white man, and an Indian, appeared in the vicinity of this cantonment, bearing a white flag. They were received by order of the commander in chief, and conducted to his quarters; where they opened their business, and informed that they came from the Delaware nation, with proposals of peace: That they were sanctioned by the Shawanese, and other hostile tribes, in their propositions, and wished to be informed if the General would meet them upon these terms, and shut the bloody path. An answer was deferred till the next day, and in the mean time, a gentleman was sent with the Indian, for two others, who had continued in the wood, about two miles from this place, and returned with them in the evening."
"A council was held the next day, and after the Indians had laid before the commander in chief the purport of their visit, and had declared it to be the sincere wish of their brethren, to live in friendship with their brothers, and to close the road to the further effusion of blood; the council ended with an answer from his Excellency, purporting that it was his wish to enter into a treaty of peace—That the Indians had so often deceived us, it was impossible to believe they were now sincere—That if they were so, they would have no objection to his proceeding, and establishing forts upon the banks of the Lakes, for their security, and his own, where, whilst drinking the waters, he would be better enabled to meet them in council, and conclude the good work—and farther to testify the sincerity of their wishes, he insisted that the white prisoners now in their nation, should be brought accompanied by the head chiefs to this cantonment, in one month from the time of the departure of the said Indians, to which they acceded."
NEW-YORK, March 13. Extract of a letter dated 5th February, from a respectable merchant in Kingston, Jamaica, to a house in this city, received by the Schooner Maria.
"Orders are given to all the ships of war, and privateers, to bring in all American vessels that are bound to or from any French port." Extract of another letter dated 12th February, from another merchant in Kingston.
"I am extremely sorry to inform you, that every day more or less American vessels are brought in here as prizes—last Sunday came in two ships and three brigs, Americans, as prizes. God knows what the consequence will be. Sir John Jarvis has taken about 100 sail of American vessels, and carried them into Barbadoes."
"A letter from Niagara, dated Jan. 29, says—Since writing the above, an express arrived from Detroit, brings the following accounts, viz.—That the Indians and American Army had engaged each other; and that the former lost 1500 men, and the latter 800 men; but the former had suffered a Total Defeat."
"Col. England, of the 24th Regiment, has sent down to know whether he is to oppose the American Army or not, and prevent them from building a Fort on the River Detroit, as it seems they have marched with that intention."
BOSTON, March 19. A letter from a gentleman in Paris, dated November 28, 1793. "The French armies consist of 1,500,000 men—from 18 to 45 years of age. It is with infinite satisfaction I assure you, that the greater part of my apprehensions of a war between England and America are dispelled."

MARCH 20.
Arrived yesterday Capt. Kennard in the sloop Fame, in 20 days from St. Eustatia, who has peremptorily declared, that while at St. Eustatia he there dined with 12 Captains whose vessels and cargoes had been condemned at St. Kitts, That he saw a list of upwards of 280 vessels belonging to America, that had been taken and carried into the different Islands, more than 150 of which were condemned, and that their trials and condemnations were going on as fast as possible.
He also informs, That St. Bartholomew was blocked up by the British.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Reuben Loud, of the Schooner Alert, to his brother, Captain Eliphalet Loud, of Weymouth, dated
"Havre, Nov. 28, 1793." "It is with infinite satisfaction, that I find the greatest part of my apprehensions of a war between England and America, are dispelled, by the last advices from the former place, which bear a more conciliatory appearance than hitherto. It is probable I shall remain here till spring."
MARINE JOURNAL.
March 12. Arrived here, the Schooner Peace and plenty, Capt. Nathaniel Kent, from New-Providence, which he left the 2d February. He informs, that in the month of December he was carried in there by an English privateer, and after being libelled, was informed, that he might depart, with his vessel and cargo, paying expenses: This he refused to do, and chose to stand trial for damages, and recovered to the amount of 3101. Capt. Kent says, that the Judge of Admiralty at New-Providence, (Grant) conducted the trial with the greatest fairness and impartiality. And informs, that in every case, wherein the Captains of American vessels, whose cargoes were bona fide, American property, have prosecuted for damages they have invariably recovered, one instance it may be necessary to state.—A Schooner belonging to Mr. Thorndike of Beverly, was taken by a privateer, and while in possession of the captors was vessel and cargo, lost on a reef—these facts being proved to the Judge of Admiralty, he ordered restitution to be made, to the full amount of the loss—which was above Twelve Thousand Dollars. The captors of Capt. Kent suffered a loss, for his detention, 7111.
Schooner Neptune, Everon, of Kingston from N. Carolina, with corn, &c. was wrecked on the night of the 2d inst. on Block-Island—vessel and chief of the cargo it is said are lost.
SALEM, March 18.
The last week has been a scene of general gloom and anxiety in this town. Every day has brought with it fresh intelligence of insults to our flag, abuse to our seamen and destruction to our commerce. Our merchants have suspended their business, our sailors are wandering about for want of employment—and our laborers will soon be starving in idleness. At length it was thought that something ought to be done; and on Saturday last a general meeting of the inhabitants was hastily called; in which a memorial to Congress was proposed and adopted. This memorial sets forth the injuries which our mercantile property has sustained, while employed according to the strictest principles of neutrality—from the unjustifiable orders of the British King, who has presumptuously attempted to dictate laws, not only to our allies the French, but to all the nations of the world; and suggests the propriety of an embargo on British shipping, and a seizure of British property in the country, as a security for indemnification; and pledges the employment of what property may be left from the rapacity of those lawless British sea robbers, in supporting such measures, however bold and decided, as government shall think proper, to procure justice to the country and individuals. To the memorial was annexed a schedule of the amount of the losses sustained by this town.
"Till this time, many people have been willing to consider the depredations on our commerce, as the effect of the rapacity of individuals, which would eventually be punished by the British government. But now there is but one sentiment pervades the whole people. It is no longer doubted that the Government authorizes that conduct, so destructive to all social intercourse. Indignation and resentment burns in every breast; and retaliation, in one way or another, is the general wish."
Should Congress totally prohibit any intercourse with Great Britain, there is no doubt but it would be highly gratifying to the people, in their present temper.
So inevitable is our involvement in the war thought to be by some, that privateers have already been contracted for in this town, and are now actually building. It will be happy for us should there be no occasion to employ them in hostility.
The account of the recapture of Toulon by the French, afforded an agreeable relief to the dark picture of the last week.
One day last week from 1 to 200 sailors in Gloucester, who were thrown out of employment by the present situation of our commerce, formed a mournful procession, bearing the United States flag, and accompanied by military music; and after parading the principle streets in this town proceeded to the forts, took a review of them, planted the American standard upon the ramparts, gave three cheers, and declared themselves ready to act in defence of their country; then returned to the place where they first formed, dismissed at an early hour, and retired to their homes with the most perfect decency.

On Monday last arrived here the sloop Fame, Capt. Kennard, in 25 days from Tobago. Passengers in the Fame, were Mr. ABEL HARRIS, Merchant, of this town, and Mr. SAMUEL CABOT, Merchant, of Beverly—who left Bourdeaux the 28th December.
Mr. HARRIS, informs that all the English and great numbers of the French merchants, at Bourdeaux, were confined in prison. And it was reported at Tobago, that Admiral Lord Howe's House in London, had been torn down, and its effects entirely destroyed. Mr. Harris also informs, that the embargo was still existing at Bourdeaux, the 28th of Dec. and all the vessels that had left that place, had particular permission, and there was no appearance at the time he left there, of the embargo's being taken off.
On Monday arrived here the Schooner Good Intent, Edmund Fernald, Master, in 16 days from St. Martins. Captain Fernald was at Barbadoes the 17th of February, and left there brig Lady Washington, of Boston. Sloop Capt. Gove, of ditto. Schooner Capt. Felt, of Salem. Brig Dispatch, Capt.

From a Charleston, S. C. paper, Feb. 4.
Messrs. Printers,
I should be extremely sorry to give my fellow-citizens any unnecessary alarm; but as a civil officer of this government, I conceive it my bounden duty; at all times, to communicate any information, whereby their lives, liberty or property are at stake. The information I now communicate to my fellow-citizens is, that the Spanish fleet and army, destined to attack the French part of the island of St. Domingo have been compelled by a most dreadful plague to return to the Havannah. The Admiral has lost upwards of 400 men on board of his ship
alone, and there were upwards of 3000 down with the malady in the fleet. The British General at St. Domingo has forbid their landing, or even coming into port; and the inhabitants of Havannah, unanimously resolved, that they should not set their feet on shore in that city. It was supposed they would be sent to some uninhabited island. A Civil Magistrate.

The REVENGE.
TO fair LOUISA with delight I read aloud the heav'nly line "Let no offence Revenge excite,— "Forgive—forgiveness is divine." The pious maid remov'd the book Without one disbelieving look, Yet, with a soft persuasive look, Assented not to what she heard. I seiz'd the beauteous charmer's hand And clasp'd her to my glowing breast; I found my flame by rapture fann'd And on her lips a kiss imprefs'd. LOUISA sweetly rais'd that cheek Which blushes, like the morning, veil'd; In anger twice she tried to speak, And twice in sweet confusion fail'd. At length resolv'd the fair one threw To play the fly assassin's part, And, fluff'd with all the charms of love, Revengeful, smil'd me to the heart!
