Excellent Advice to Sedentary People.
A GENTLEMAN of 84 years of age, who had passed 60 years without a day's illness, and who for the whole period was a stranger to pain, though his life was wholly sedentary, was walked by what means he preserved his uncommonly good health. He replied, that he made it a constant practice, as soon as he rose in the morning, which was early, to walk briskly a mile or two; and until he produced a gentle perspiration upon his body. The circulation thus given to the blood in the morning, had a lasting effect for the day, he felt active and vigorous and never experienced that dullness and yawning languor, which late beds in the morning and want of exercise seldom fail to produce. In bad weather, he walked in a spacious entry in his own House. The writer of this paragraph received this information from the old gentleman himself, and had recourse to the same expedient, as a remedy against the complicated complaints incident to a life of study and bodily inaction. The remedy is found to be the best ever attempted—it never fails to produce the effects attributed to it; and it is strongly urged by a person who has experienced its usefulness. But it is not sufficient to walk gently or loiter about half an hour—the action must produce a natural heat that shall be sensibly felt, it then gives vigor and spirits which will generally last for the day.
Listen to experience. There is a certain degree of heat produced in the body by the circulation of the blood. When this heat is at a certain point and diffused thro' the system, the person feels well. If this natural temperature of the body is increased, the person is feverish—if diminished, he is chilly. In either case he is not in perfect health. Good cloathing, especially flannel, assists to preserve this natural temperature; but nothing will wholly supply the want of action. Labouring people have exercise enough—but thousands of sedentary people fall a sacrifice to their indolence.
ANECDOTES.
IN the northern exertions last war, for raising men to serve his British Majesty, it was too customary for the Lairds and highland chiefs to compel these vassals into the service by main force, when they would not go by fair means. A little disturbance of this sort happening one day, and a crowd ensuing, a person stooped to ask what was the matter? Nae thing at aw, cried a Scot, they are only forcing a mon to turn volunteer.
AN ignorant person being told that an acquaintance of his had died insolvent; "That must be a fallacy," said he; "Jack did not die in Solvent, for to my certain knowledge, he died in Flanders."
A PERSON happening to call one day upon an acquaintance, found him exercising his wife with that discipline, which Jobson tries in the farce of The devil to pay—and being hurt at the ungenerous task undertaken by his friend, he begged him by all the ties of honor
to forbear—at the same time asking the occasion of such severe treatment—"The occasion is," said the enraged husband, "she will not be mistress in her own house." His friend expressed great astonishment at the answer, and observed, "The omission was such as he believed no woman ever gave her husband occasion to thrash her for before." "Ah! by G-d, said the husband, my wife won't be mistress, because she wants to be master."
TRANSLATIONS, FROM PARIS PAPERS.
From the CHRONICLE.
TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Dec. 12.
AFFAIRS begin to take a turn here in a decided aspect, since the promotion of the new Vizier. The Sultan seems to be determined to organize anew the whole Military of the Ottoman empire; it is thought that the future existence of the Turkish power wholly depends on the success of this great enterprize. At present every thing is preparing for assembling a great army under the Seraskier or Commander in Chief, who is to march to the borders of the Danube, near Ismael—This place since the fortifications have been extended, has become one of the strongest places in the empire; already great numbers of artificers and engineers are sent off for that place.
In the midst of these preparations, the Ottoman Minister observes an extreme reserve when in presence of the Ministers of the Combined Powers, which puts them in the greatest embarrassment, and gives them the greatest difficulty to discover the object of all these mighty projects. The success of France gives additional confidence and consideration to her Agents in the eyes of the Divan.
The French frigates in the Archipelago stop whatever ships they please. The foreign Ministers complain to the Sultan, but get no redress by reason of the ascendancy which the French Ministers have over the Divan.
Since the unsuccess of the Poles, the foreign Agents residing here, have even insulted the Polish Ambassador, but the Divan interposed, took the Pole under its protection, and let the strangers know that their conduct was disapproved of.
HOLLAND.
HAGUE, January 31.
The Assembly of Holland have decreed, at their first sitting, that all votes in the Assembly shall be by a majority of voices—That every man holding land in the State, shall be entitled to the "right of hunting on his own ground and fishing in his own waters."—That the Grand Pensionary, Vender Speigel, be deprived of his offices, of Keeper of the Seals, and all other offices. In consequence of which Commissioners were appointed to keep the Seals, Charters, and Registers.
Several Committees were then appointed—one to restore order amongst the troops of the late Stadtholder, one to re-organize the troops of the State, and one to replace the old Chamber of accounts.
The Magistrate of the Hague has been authorized to disarm all those who have committed any excesses since the Prussian invasion in favor of the Stadtholder, in 1787.
FRANCE.
STRASBURG, 23 Pluvoise.
They write from Frankfort, that the scarcity of provisions is extreme in several countries of Germany; it is particularly felt on the borders of the Rhine, which has been so much wasted and destroyed by the Combined Armies. The unhappy inhabitants abandon on every side those lands of misery, and fly from the theatre of the war.
The Garrison Mentz, it is said, is composed of 33,000 men, of which two thirds are Austrians, and one third Imperialists. There are also 3,000 men in the Fort of Cassel and the inlets.
The Elector of Mentz has sent a great number of medals of gold and silver, to be distributed amongst the soldiers who shall distinguish themselves during the siege.
BERNE, 21 Pluvoise (Feb. 9.)
The Count de Golts, who was to go to Paris with the Ministers of Sweden and Denmark, has lately died at Basle in the most suspicious convulsions. The Austrians and English are suspected; poison does not seem to belong to Italy alone. It is also said, the Field Marshal de l'Assy has been destroyed by the same means.
TOULON, 4 Nivole, (Jan. 9.)
The Anniversary Feast of the re-taking Toulon, has been celebrated here with great animation. The troops were reviewed upon the Glacis of the place, after which Jean Bon

Saint Andre entered the town at the head of the troops, in manner of a feigned attack, which was very pleasing to the numerous spectators. The cries of Vive la Republique! were resounded from every quarter; and what rendered it more particularly interesting was the number of foreigners from all parts of the Mediterranean, who came here in ships with provisions, all these joined in the patriotic enthusiasm. There were seen together, heartily uniting with the French, Turks, Italians, Greeks, Moors, Tunisians, and various other nations—they all wore large tri-colored cockades, and their hats, caps, or turbans, were covered with laurels. These all combined with the Republicans in rending homage to Reason and to Liberty.
The peculiar circumstances attending this Feast, will not easily be forgot, since they offered an occasion so favorable for reflections on public Liberty, since that people (who in the opinion of Europeans) were the greatest slaves, by their religious prejudices, and by the character of their government, have become the most free.
7 Nivose, (Jan. 12.)
There continue to arrive here great numbers of ships from Constantinople and the Archipelago. By the Minerva, one of the Frigates lately returned from Tunis, it appears that the Grand Signior is strongly disposed to be favorable to the Republic; and what proves it, is the promise which he has given to conduct the convoy under his own flag to our ports. This friendly disposition of the Grand Signior towards us has singularly excited the jealousy of the English; it is said they have offered to pay double price for all the corn bought up for the French, but the perfidious proposition has been rejected with disdain. They have been even refused liberty to buy grain themselves, until the French shall be supplied, and indeed it is publicly reported of the Grand Signior, that all the grain for sale is, promised and reserved for his friends the French Republicans.
PARIS, 20 Pluvoise, (Feb. 8.)
Gaily read in the Convention several letters received from the Isle of France, the details of which are too long to find place here; they mention however the particulars of an engagement between two French frigates and a sloop of war against a superior force of English ships, and say the French gained the victory.
The Republican General who commands in the blockade of Luxembourg, before he attacks that Fortress, has sent a summons to the Austrian Commander, which is in substance as follows: "That humanity induces him to propose the delivering up the fortress previous to his urging the rigors of a siege, to avoid the effusion of blood and the destruction of the peaceful inhabitants, all supplies and reinforcements, being entirely cut off."
The Austrian General returned a civil answer, but a positive refusal.
22 Pluvoise, (Feb. 10.)
Extract of a letter from Amsterdam, to a Citizen of Paris, dated Feb. 2.
"I have been in this city ten days, and expect to stay ten days longer, I find every body here exhilarated with joy—the contentment of the inhabitants with the present state of things is inexpressible. Every thing evinces that the Batavians will march with pleasure with us in the Revolution; and I doubt not but in the spring they will join us in a visit to the English, to make them return what they have stolen and carried off by treachery. The English conducted, while here and when they took their departure, like the basest of men. Their army is retired towards Hanover—a party of Emigrants are with them. They laid waste every thing in their march. Between Bommel and Utrecht I saw whole villages plundered and a number of houses burned."
LONDON, Feb. 11.
One of the coal mines in the neighbourhood of Whitehaven at present runs more than seven miles under the sea: it is one hundred and twenty fathoms below the surface of the sea, and from forty to sixty fathoms below the deepest part of the channel: the vein of coals is excellent and the further it is cut the better it proves to be. It is the intention of the proprietors of this mine to prosecute this stratum, and it is thought by many, that in the course of ten or twenty years, a subterraneous passage to Ireland may be effected.
February 19.
Extract of a letter from Falmouth, Feb. 10.
"On Monday arrived here a Dutch East-Indian, bound to Rotterdam from Batavia; having missed her convoy, she put into Scilly, from whence she came in quest of some other convoy. She is a ship of 1000 tons burthen, and not knowing of the embargo on Dutch ships, now lies, with a cutter of 18 guns, and two gallots of the same nation, under the protection of Sir John Borlase Warren's Squadron, which consists of the Pomona, of 54, Artois, of 38, Concorde, of 36, Anson, of 38, and Galata, of 32 guns; they are to be joined by the Indefatigable, of 38, Diamond, of 38, and Apollo, of 38 guns, for a cruise on the coast of France."
The account of the death of the Empress of Russia begins to lose ground in the public belief; if an event so interesting to all Europe had taken place, it is probable the account of it must have come from one of our foreign ministers by an Extraordinary Courier.
February 23.
The subject of an exchange of prisoners with France becomes every day more and more a matter of serious consideration with Ministry, who, if it were any way possible, would most readily adopt such a measure. To do it, however, would be to undo all they have been contending for in this session of Parliament; that is to say, they must acknowledge a regular form
of government is established in France, and bow submissively to its present rulers.
Vice Admiral Caldwell, commander in chief off the leeward islands, has promoted First Lieutenants William Watkins, and Second Lieutenant David Milne, of the Blanche frigate, to the rank of master and commander; which appointments the boards of admiralty are expected to confirm.
PHILADELPHIA, April 22.
CIVIC FESTIVAL.
Friday last was set apart by a number of American, French and Dutch citizens, for the celebration of the late victories of France and the emancipation of Holland.
At ten a discharge of seven guns by the volunteer company commanded by Capt. Flinton (who, feeling in common with other fellow-citizens the joy which the auspicious events to be celebrated naturally call forth, offered their services to give éclat to the fete) ushered in the day.
At ten a discharge of fifteen guns gave the signal for assembling in the centre square. Thence the citizens proceeded with the flags of the three republics to the garden of the Minister of the French Republic, headed by a numerous band of martial music.
In the centre of the garden an altar was erected on which the Statue of Liberty was placed. The colors of the three nations were united in front of the altar, which the citizens surrounded and sung the hymn of liberty.
Here an address of which the following is a translation was spoken by a French citizen.
CITIZENS,
Your wishes are fulfilled, your hopes are realized; the soldiers of liberty are everywhere triumphant; the slaves of tyranny in every quarter fly before the tri-colored standard.
It was not enough for the Republican armies to have narrowed the limits of the Empire and of Sardinia; to have brought to their true level the petty sovereigns of Germany; to have driven back Spain upon itself; in a word to have overcome all obstacles internal and external which tyrants opposed to the most legitimate views.—There was yet a country deserving of liberty since they had once combated under its banners; under the tyranny of the master who had usurped an authority over them, this people had seen the Despot of Prussia trample on their laws and violate their territory to support the pretensions, and avenge the pride of the Stadtholderian party.
"Dragged for two years in the wars of Kings against the people, the Batavians groaned under the weight of oppression; they daily felt their fetters more intolerable, and already the chiefs of the European coalition were about to nationalize slavery in Holland, when the Republican armies, braving the intemperance of the climate and pushing their conquest over snows and ice, advanced and took possession of the principal frontier places. The thunder of liberty awakens the ancient spirit of the Batavians, their only wishes are, to be released from their galling fetters, and already the French triumphs brighten their hopes."
"The army of the Republic with hasty strides pursue the satellites of tyranny. Several towns fall, and at length Amsterdam opens her gates to the tri-color standard."
"In the name of the French nation, the Republic of the United Provinces is restored to freedom. Their independence is respected, and they retain unimpaired the right of changing or amending their constitution."
"Already the regenerated United Provinces, faithful to the cause of liberty, have entered into an alliance offensive and defensive with the French Republic."
"Friends: In order to celebrate these successes, to cement among us the triple alliance of the three Republics."
"Let us swear to be faithful in the cause of liberty, to maintain with all our physical and moral faculties, political equality, so necessary to the happiness of the People."
"Let us swear never to forget the genius and the arms which have restored freedom to the ocean and unshackled commerce."
"Let us swear, in a word, to live free or die!"
All the citizens with one voice, took the oath.
The Minister of the French Republic then spoke as follows:
CITIZENS,
"The orator who has just described with as much precision as energy the events which preceded and followed the revolution of Holland, leaves nothing to be added on a subject so important to the great cause of Mankind. Indeed can words express the exquisite sensations which at this moment fill the breasts of every friend to liberty, for the deliverance of a whole people from the yoke of slavery."
"I will, therefore, content myself with expressing a sentiment which must be written in the hearts of all who detest tyranny."
"The alliances among free people, resemble the friendship which exists among virtuous men in which they do not suffer the wicked to partake: May free people thus never receive in the number of their allies; despots who declare and wage war on those nations that struggles to break their fetters."
"Long live the French Republic!—Long live the Republic of the United States!—Long live the Batavian Republic."
The air resounded with the cries of long Live the Three Republics.
The president of the committee appointed to conduct the festival, then united the colours of the three nations under a civic crown, and addressed the citizens present as follows:
"Citizens, Brothers, and Friends, "Such is the triumph of liberty. Soon every
people will enlist under her banner; soon they will follow the example of the French, American and Dutch nations. Then let us not cease to repeat long live the friends of liberty!"
The ceremony here closed with a discharge from the artillery of 21 guns, and the singing of patriotic hymns.
At three, the company consisting of 400 citizens, set down to a sumptuous repast at Oellers's hotel, where after dinner fifteen toasts were drunk, each followed by a discharge from the artillery, and patriotic airs from the band.
NEW-YORK, April 22.
Accounts from Kentucky state that a war has commenced between the Creeks and Chickasaws, in which the Creeks are the aggressors. The causes is said to be the attachment of the Chickasaws to the United States.
The militia in the county of Knox, on the frontier, amounted at a general muster, March 20th, to 1008 effective men.
April 25.
Last Wednesday arrived the brig Beaver, Capt. Hull, who left Barbadoes the 27th March, at which time he had not heard of the arrival of any part of the British fleet, with a reinforcement, but eight days previous to his departure, six merchant ships which had failed without convoy, had anchored in Carlisle bay from England.—That there was no vessel belonging to this port, at Barbadoes when he left it.—That he spoke a Schooner from Antigua, bound to Norfolk; the Captain informed, that St. Eustatia and Demarara were in possession of the French, and that the whole of Granada was also in their possession—that the inhabitants of Barbadoes were in daily expectation of a fleet, with reinforcements from England, which in some measure revived their hopes.
BOSTON, April 27.
BRITISH FLEET in the W. INDIES.
A gentleman who came passenger in a vessel, arrived at Salem, on Saturday, in 15 days from St. Thomas's, informs that, on the day before he failed, letters had been received by Mr. Murphy, merchant in that island, giving intelligence that an English fleet of 8 sail of the line, a number of frigates, and 50 transports, with 10,000 troops on board, had arrived at Martinique. This article is corroborated by the following, received in 25 days,
From MARTINIQUE.
Capt. Keen has arrived at Philadelphia, and informs, that, on the day he left that island, Capt. Pasmore arrived from England, and brought intelligence, that he came out in company with a fleet of 200 sail of merchantmen, transports, &c. bound to the West-Indies, under convoy of a ship of the line; and that he parted with the fleet on Feb. 27th, in lat. 37, long. 13. The number of the troops, on board the transports, was reported, at Martinique, to be 10,000. On the 11th April Capt. Keen spoke the Schooner Commerce, the Capt. of which informed him, that he was out 14 days from Antigua, where a number of the British fleet had arrived.
By an arrival from BOURDEAUX, on Saturday last, a letter was received from a gentleman, formerly of this town, but now resident in France, informing that a Spanish Ambassador had arrived at Paris; and another from Prussia was on his way thither. We feel a sincere pleasure in hearing that the minister, appointed by the Cabinet of Spain, is the patriotic statesman, count d'Aranda; who, before the revolution, held the same office at the court of France, and was afterwards recalled and promoted prime minister. At the commencement of the present war, he had the honesty to propose pacificatory measures; alleging that France, was the natural protector of Spain, and, in case of hostilities, would be her most formidable enemy. His advice proving unpopular with the grandees, the count was deposed; and the clamorous Aludia, who flattered the vanity of the king, by overrating his military power, succeeded him. The rapid progress of the French, into the heart of the Spanish dominions, has now convinced the humble dons , that Aranda "has deserved well of his country."
The TOULON and BREST FLEETS contain 50 ships of the line. The addition of the Dutch navy will render our republican friends more formidable at sea, than they have been since the commencement of the revolution. On the other hand, the great naval exertions, making by G. Britain, convince us, that she is determined to maintain the trident , which she has so long wielded. The dominion of the ocean is, therefore, the object of the contest; and before it is decided, the disputed element, crimsoned with blood, will blush at the folly of rival nations.
FAYETTE,
in his late attempt to escape from imprisonment, was arrested by the post-master, Braunfallen, in Moravia; who, for this loyal action, has been justly rewarded, with an honorary medal, by the humane king of Prussia!
THE LEYDEN GAZETTE.
the celebrated journal of Europe, will in future be printed at Altona; the Danish government has granted the editors leave to settle there, cum privilegio .
DR. MANGOURIT,
late consul of the republic of France, for the State of South Carolina, is appointed commissary, or chief of the office of foreign affairs, at Paris.
A FRENCH SHIP, of 40 guns, cruising between Algiers and Burelma, has captured twenty-five sail of English merchantmen.
THE DUKE OF YORK
is appointed captain general of his majesty's forces; which is the same rank, as that, held by the great Duke of Cumberland.
THE LAW OF NATIONS
was, perhaps, never more flagrantly violated, than by the evasive conduct of the French and English governors in the West-Indies. The islands, under the jurisdiction of each other, are mutually declared to be in a state of siege . All neutral vessels are, therefore, by this artifice, subject to capture. The only difference in the procedure of the two nations is, that the English seize, in order to find a pretext to condemn; but the French buy, and pay at their own price!
THE AMERICAN FARMER,
has now the greatest incitement to industry and exertion. The situation of affairs in Europe, offers a mart for almost every commodity, which our soil can produce. Provisions of every description, suitable for foreign markets, have greatly appreciated. Protected by our neutral flag, the fruits of our agriculture will be welcomed in every port; and it is hardly within limits of possibility to raise a surplus, beyond the demand for exportation, even should the exuberant productions of our valleys afford a freight for every oak on our mountains.
By a gentleman from Shelburne, we are informed of the arrival there of the letters by the March Mail from Halifax:—We do not learn any thing material by the mail. Report is, that a body of British troops had been blocked up by the ice in Holland, and that the French had surrounded and taken them.
From the WEST-INDIES.
By Capt. Waing, arrived here since our last, in 15 days from St. Thomas's, via Salem, we learn, That the English flag was hoisted at St. Eustatia, the latter-end of March; and that numbers of women and children had arrived at St. Thomas's, from St. Martins and St. Eustatia.
He also informs, of the arrival at St. Pierre, Martinique, of an English fleet of several sail of the line, and frigates, with upwards of fifty transports and victuallers, supposed to belong to the squadron which Lord Howe convoyed to sea in February last. The number of troops landed, was not known, as the Gibraltar ships did not come down with the fleet from Barbadoes.
Capt. Howard, arrived at Newbury-Port from St. Lucia, informs, that the French are in possession of all that island, except Mont-Fortunio, and Pigeon-Island; that Catreer had been once attacked, but the French returned to town.—The English have offered liberty to all the blacks who would take up arms against the French. The French force there is said to be 3000; the English 800.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Samuel Townsend, of the Schooner Betsy, to his owners in this town, dated Bermuda, April 3, 1795.
"Since I wrote you last my vessel has been libelled. They not only condemn vessels and cargoes, but make us pay the costs and charges, even of unloading. I shall appeal if I am condemned, and I expect to be in about 20 days from this, if there is no arrival from England with official orders to stop their villainous proceedings. There are 13 sail here now, and they all mean to appeal. I do not expect to get my papers under two months, for they keep us as long as they can upon expence. The last day of March there was an arrival from England (the brig Hawkesbury) in 42 days, & we anxiously expected some anti condemnation news, but we are told that the judge has received no orders contravening his usual mode of proceeding. We believe the Government and Mr. Judge understand each other perfectly well. These rovers are more eager than ever. The above brig failed in company with a fleet from England, of 400 sail, which she parted with on the coast of Europe, it was said when she failed that Spain was about making a peace with the French."
Extract of a letter from New-York, to a gentleman in Salem, April 19.
"By Capt. Coffin from India, I am informed that Capt. Babcock, of Boston, has lost both his ships, they were taken from him on the coast of Borres, by the English Commander Mitchell, who, after keeping them six months at Batavia, offered to give them up: Capt. Babcock would not receive them. They failed about 12 months before they were captured, from the Isle of France—and that was the plea for their capture."

SAL E M, April 28.
On Sunday last arrived at Marblehead, Capt. Lakey, in a Schooner, in 36 days from Bilboa. By this arrival, we have received the following Important Communication:
"Messrs. Maurice and John Roberts, Cadiz.
Gibraltar, Feb. 17, 1795.
Gentlemen—The present serves purely to tell you, that by letters we have received this morning from Tangiers, we have information, which we can depend on, that the Moorish cruisers which you have heard had failed from Tangiers, have actually orders to detain all

American vessels, as also, those of all other nations, which have not a Consul or Representative at Barbary.
Gentlemen, your most obedient servants, (Signed) Robert Anderson and Co."
When the above vessel failed, all was quiet at Bilboa, and they were under no apprehensions from the further inroads of the French, with whom it was reported there, the Spanish Court were about making a peace, on condition of their giving the French twenty sail of the line, and victualing them during the continuance of the war. This is understood as only one of the conditions. That petitions for peace to the Government were handed in from all parts of Spain.
Capt. Stephens, of Saco, who arrived here since our last from Martinico and St. Thomas, mentions, that while he lay at St. Thomas, a Capt. Seymour, of Philadelphia, arrived there from Martinico, and informed him, that two Regiments of British troops (not exceeding 200 in number) had arrived there, last from Barbadoes, part of which immediately sailed for Granada. Captain S. about 12 days ago, spoke a vessel bound to Newburyport, which left Martinico the 7th inst.—the Captain of which told him, that accounts had been received there of the arrival of 180 vessels, and 11,000 troops at Barbadoes from England.—Capt. S. did not think from the accounts he heard in the West-Indies that more than one fourth of that number of troops had arrived there. While Capt. S. was at Martinico, he was informed that the 54th British Regiment, which had arrived at Martinico from Gibraltar, landed there 346 men, and in 8 weeks only 80 of them were able to do duty—the rest being either dead or in the hospitals.
Captain George Smith, from St. Bartholomew, in 14 days, informs, that while he lay there, three French privateers sailed against St. Martins, which surrendered immediately upon being summoned—and they took possession of it in the name of the French Republic.
By an arrival at New-London, from Guadalupe, the account of Grenada and St. Lucia's being in the hands of the French is confirmed, and a report that they had landed at Montserrat. It is devoutly wished they might land at Bermuda.
CAPE FEAR LIGHT HOUSE,
is situated near to Bald head, a noted bluff on Cape Fear Island, at the Mouth of Cape Fear river, on which river, is built the town of Wilmington in North Carolina. The Iron lantern is ten feet nine inches in diameter, and about fifteen feet nine inches in height, from the floor to the top of the roof. It was first lighted on the night of the 23rd December, 1794.
The light house bears W. N. W.—From the point of the Cape four miles distant; and N. W. by N. from the extremity of the Fry-ingpan shoal, distant eight leagues.
In sailing from the Eastward bring the light to bear N. N. E. and then steer in North, which will carry a vessel clear of the shoal, and bring her a short distance to the westward of the Bar. Observe however, if it is in the night not to come into less than seven fathom water. —If there is a necessity of sailing over the Bar without a Pilot, bring the house to bear North or N. half East and steer directly in for it, until the vessel is close in with the Beach, and then for the Fort, which bears from thence about North, and is plainly in sight.
The Channel over the Bar is direct, and of a good width.
It may be further necessary to observe to strangers, that in passing the shoal, especially in a dark night, it is most prudent to steer west in latitude of 33, 20, or 25 at most, until they shoal in their water to seven or eight fathoms. By doing this they may be sure of being to the westward of the Bar.
L O N D O N, Feb. 27.
It is reported an action had taken place between the French and Prussians, near Cleves, in which the Prussians had the advantage.
A late Frankfort Journal contains the following article:—Many people have no doubt of the continuation of the war, in consequence of a Secret treaty between the courts of Peterburg and Berlin, and others of the Allied Powers; according to which, Russia sends 80,000 men to the Rhine; to these, 70,000 Prussians, and 24,000 Saxons being added, with the quintuple contingent from the German Circle, a body of 400,000 fighting men will be formed."
Letters from Hamburg, state that the military requisitions at Hanover, were never carried to such an extent as at present. Every individual able to bear arms is summoned to appear.
Yesterday arrived a messenger with dispatches from the army at Osnaburgo.
Great reinforcements from Germany, are pouring in upon the Rhine.
The French troops in Holland are stated to amount to 110,000 men divided into two columns. One extends on the left of Holland, taking all the towns: the other, composed of 50,000 men, with a numerous artillery, advances from Arnheim, along the banks of the Yssel. Another small body of French troops march from Cleves towards the Rhine, on the side of Emmerick, in order to alarm the Austrian advanced posts in that quarter.
It is stated, that upon condition that the Austrians maintain 60,000 men in Poland, the Emperors has engaged to send 40,000 Cossacks, and 20,000 other troops to act against the French, upon the Rhine.
If we are to credit the latest intelligence from France, and that which seems most to be depended on, it leads us to believe that the greatest exertions are making in several ports of France, and particularly in Cherburg, for an
expedition against this country early in the Spring. It is supposed that should it ever take place, it would assemble in the ports of Holland, and make a descent on the eastern coasts of this kingdom.
Letters from Basle, Switzerland, mention, that on the 22nd Jan. the Council of thirteen paid the customary visit to the new French Ambassador, BARTHELEMY, who was welcomed with the usual honors and ceremonies. Chancellor Ochs, made him a speech, which he answered. In the evening credentials were exchanged between BARTHELEMY & General GOLTZ, the Prussian Ambassador, and the succeeding day was fixed for opening the conference for a negotiation for peace between the Republic of France, and the King of Prussia.
According to letters from Hamburg, the Danish government have ordered all their garrisons on the borders of Germany, in the Duchy of Holstein, to be immediately re-inforced. The troops destined for that purpose were to march as soon as the weather would permit. The Danish court is also making such dispositions in her dominions in Norway, as indicate they are not without apprehensions of the war extending still farther into the north.
March 3.
BRITISH ARMY.
Aurich, (four leagues from Emden) Jan. 16.
It would be for me a task, equally painful and impossible, to give you a detailed description of what we have suffered on our retreat of near seventy leagues, from the intemperance of the frost, and the inclemency of the weather. On the 10th inst. we passed the ice with our artillery. The thaw having afterwards set in, we marched in two days from Laer, on the Ems, wading through water and mire two feet deep. Several horses have perished, and a number of waggons have been left behind.
We crossed the Yssel, near Deventer. Having lost our way, we reached, after a five day's march, Zuithrock, three leagues from Gavingen, the inhabitants of which were taking up arms and hoisting the tri-coloured cockade.—Another march of five days has brought us here. The French have detached three different corps to Ommen, Leeuwarden, and Groningen. They seem to threaten this country but I do not suppose they intend to pass the Ems. The frost returned yesterday with great severity, but probably will not be of long standing. Our communication with England, by way of Emden, is now perfectly free and open.
All the corps of French emigrants in the English and Dutch pay, are in East Friesland. The regiments that wear the white cockade are mostly in the neighborhood of Osnaburg and Pirmont. General Lord Cathcart commands in that quarter.
A great number of French emigrants have perished in the Zuyder sea. Several others have remained at Amsterdam and the Hague, and have hitherto not been molested. The Archbishop of Tours remains very quiet in the former place. The Republicans are arming 40 vessels.
* A strong town of Germany, situate on the river Ems, near the sea, 23 mil's N. E. of Groningen.
PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 25.
The grand fleet, which has returned here consists of 33 sail of the line and 12 frigates.—They convoyed the outward bound merchant fleet, consisting of 395 sail to the westward of Cape Finister; when Admiral Parker, with the squadron under his command, took charge of the ships for the West-Indies; and the Bleuheim of 98 guns, and Bombay Castle of 74 guns, took charge of the Mediterranean ships in order to convoy them to their respective places of destination.
State-Paper.
(CIRCULAR.)
Department of State, April 16, 1795.
SIR,
As it is contrary to the Law of Nations, that any of the belligerent powers should commit hostility on the waters, which are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States; so ought not the ships of war, belonging to any Belligerent Power, to take a station in those waters in order to carry on hostile expeditions from thence. I do myself the honor, therefore, of requesting of your Excellency, in the name of the President of the United States, that as often as a fleet, squadron or ship of any belligerent nation, shall clearly and unequivocally use the rivers or other waters of Pennsylvania, as a station in order to carry on hostile expeditions from thence, you will cause to be notified to the Commander thereof, that the President deems such conduct to be contrary to the rights of our neutrality;—and that a demand of retribution will be urged upon their government, for prizes, which may be made in consequence thereof. A standing order to this effect may probably be advantageously placed in the hands of some considerable officer of the militia; and I must entreat you to instruct him to write by the mail to this department, immediately upon the happening of any case of the kind. I have the honor to be, with great respect and esteem, Sir, your Excellency's most obedient servant, EDMUND RANDOLPH. His Excellency, the Governor of Pennsylvania.
BOSTON, May 4.
GOOD NEWS!
From the West-Indies.
Capt. Beatley arrived on Friday, from Marigalante in 18 days, whither he was carried in
by a French privateer—His cargo consisting of provisions of almost every kind, they bought of him, and punctually paid him the amount in produce upon as good terms as he could wish—he was treated with the greatest civility.
Capt. B. informs that at Marigalante there are 4000 well disciplined troops in combat uniform, of every color. About three fourths blacks, who have taken up arms voluntarily and receive regular pay—there are besides about 4000, upon the Alarm List, who are working upon the plantations, and are also well armed but not so well disciplined. He likewise informs that St. Vincents, St. Lucia, Granada, St. Martins, and St. Eustatia have all surrendered to the arms of our Republican Allies.
While Capt. B. lay at Marigalante Capt. Rogers of Kennebec arrived, and informed him that he passed thro' a French fleet of 5 ships of the line and 2 frigates of 44 guns, in lat. 23 1/2 long. 58 W. steering S. S. E. He was boarded by a boat from one of the fleet.
Capt. B. on his passage home, touched at St. Eustatia, at which time there lay in the road a fleet of four British ships of the line: The commander of which had sent a summons to the Governor, demanding a surrender of the Port; but received for answer, it should not be delivered up but by force.—Two days before Capt. B. arrived there, a small French Schooner as a flag of Truce, came from St. Martins, to demand a delivery of the island to the French, in behalf of the Republic, which was complied with by the Governor, with an assurance of immediate possession being given as soon as a force should arrive, which was hourly expected from St. Martins.
The Flag of Truce arrived at Statia on the 18th of April. The British fleet on the 13th, and Capt. B. the next day.
Gov. WENTWORTH, of Nova-Scotia, in his speech to the General Assembly of that province, the 3d inst. says, "I am happy to communicate to you the information I have lately received, that his Majesty has concluded a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, with the United States of America, in which it has been his Majesty's object to remove, as far as possible, all grounds of jealousy and misunderstanding, and to improve an intercourse beneficial to both."
From NEW-YORK, APRIL 29.
Capt. McIntire, of the sloop Delia, which arrived yesterday from St. Martins, and left there the 11th inst. informs, that St. Martin's was taken possession of by the French and Dutch Patriots, on Sunday, the 3d inst. the French flag flying at Marygatt, and the Dutch and French at Great Bay.
Information had been received at St. Martin's, that a British 64, and 3 frigates had anchored in Statia road, and demanded the island in the name of the ci devant Stadtholder; which was refused by the Governor, who declared the island should be delivered up to no nation whatever, until he had received official information from Holland.
While the above-mentioned squadron were lying before Statia, information was received of the French having made a descent upon Tortola, and were in possession of the whole of the island, except one fort. In consequence of which the three frigates were sent off to its relief.
AUTHENTIC.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of unquestionable authority, dated at "THE HAGUE, 12th Feb."
"The arrival of the French army in this country, as the friends and allies of the Batavian people, and the Revolution which has abolished the Stadtholdership, the Nobility, the former States of the Provinces, and the Regencies of the cities, will undoubtedly be a subject of considerable attention in America; perhaps it may give occasion to many groundless rumours and reports, and possibly you may feel more than usually desirous to hear from hence."
"You may therefore rest assured that every thing here is in perfect tranquility; that personal liberty, individual property, and private opinions, have not ceased for a moment to be respected. That with seventy thousand French Republicans in the Province, the streets of the cities are as quiet as those of Boston. That among the people, even the partisans of the former government, are not injured, molested or insulted, but only disarmed; and in short, that all the external appearance of an alteration, is a three-colored, instead of a yellow ribband."
"But we seem to be entirely secluded from the rest of the world: All the foreign communications are interrupted, even that with France, is not yet restored."
NEWBURYPORT, (Mass.) April 25.
Arrived Schooner Lucy, Joseph Woodman, 16 days from Bermuda, where he was carried by a privateer, vessel and cargo condemned, but bought at auction by Capt. Woodman, who desires that the following may be published, which (he says) are the principles on which the infamous John Green, Judge of the Vice Court of Admiralty and Injstice, of Bermuda, now condemns all Americans, viz.
1. That neutrals have no right to carry such articles to supply any of his Britannic Majesty's enemies that shall better enable them to carry on the war. 2. That the immortal Sir John Jarvis, declared the West-India islands in a state of blockade, in Nov. 1793, and they are to remain so until the Bermudians have plundered coffee enough to pay their debts in England.
3. The Judge is concerned in privateering. 4. That the poor sort of people have no other way in time of war to live. 5. That the Americans have got all the trade, and will grow too rich. But Goodrich, says enough, I am afraid my fortune is at stake—But Jennings, Tucker and Co. say, we have gone so far we may as well be hung for old sheep as lambs, we'll go on.
Capt. Woodman, also informs, that a vessel had arrived from London, but brought no dispatches, as mentioned in a letter from Bermuda, of April 3.
The cargo of the ship Four Brothers, has been condemned at L'Orient as English property.
PORTSMOUTH, May 5.
SHIP NEWS.
Arrived here on Friday last, the sloop Fame, Capt. Kennard, in 18 days from Granada.—Capt. Kennard says, the French after taking Grenville sent a truce to request the surrender of Granada, the English refused treating with them on any terms whatever; the French have possession of all the country part of the island, and are continually skirmishing with the English, who are always worsted, and are in a very bad situation, having their hospitals filled with sick and wounded. After the person sent as a truce returned, he was sent by the commanding officer on public business to Trinidad, and on his return to Grenada was taken by a British cruiser and carried into St. George's, there charged with being a deserter from the British militia of that island, was tried, condemned and hanged; on the French hearing of this, they immediately took the Governor, Mr. Campbell a reputable merchant, with three other gentlemen to a republican camp, and shot the whole of them by way of retaliation.
April 20th, spoke in lat. 25. 30. long. 65. 0. brig Mary, of Portland, Rowling Jones master, 39 days from London for Charleston.
April 23, spoke in lat. 29. 30. long. 67. 20. ship Eagle, David Williamson master, 31 days from Oporto for Philadelphia, all well.

On Wednesday last, a child of Mrs. Hart, of Newington, fell into a large hole in a neighboring field, made by blowing rocks, which was filled with water by the late rain, and was drowned.
A caution to Sabbath breakers.
On Sabbath day, 12th April, Mr. Nathaniel Balch of Newfield, Massachusetts, went into his woods, there fell a tree, which lodged on one a little distance from the ground, he then went to stripping the rind from the fallen tree, in passing under the same, it fell upon him and broke his skull, which instantly put a period to his existence. Six days shalt thou labour and do thy work, and rest on the seventh, saith the good old book.

State of New-Hampshire. PUBLIC notice is hereby given, that a petition has been preferred to the General-Court, in behalf of the inhabitants of the town of Sutton, setting forth that they for a long time have been grievously oppressed with taxes, that large tracts of land in said town have contributed but little towards the same, that the proprietors of said town promised to build a meeting-house in said town, within a certain time stated in the charter thereof, but have neglected to build the same; and praying that a tax might be granted them of three pence per acre on all the lands in said town (public rights, and eighteen shares reserved by the Masonians, excepted) to be appropriated to the sole purpose of building a meeting-house therein.

State of New-Hampshire. PUBLIC notice is hereby given that a petition has been preferred by the selectmen of Kearfarge Gore, to the General-Court of said State, setting forth that they are called upon by the Treasurer for taxes from the year 1784, to the present time, that at the time the precepts for those taxes were first sent to said Gore, there were not more than five or six families there, neither was there any law to enable them to assess or collect any taxes, that those settlers that lived on said Gore at first, have since removed to other places, and those persons who now live on said Gore have come there within two or three years, and have paid all their taxes for the years aforesaid in other places, that without the interposition of said Court they will be compelled to pay not only their own taxes over again, but the taxes of those persons who lived on said Gore, when said taxes became due; and praying that said Court would either abate the taxes on the polls, and personal estates, to the time unincorporated towns were empowered to make taxes, or grant them relief in some other way.
Upon which petition it is ordered that the petitioners be heard before the General-Court on the second Thursday of the next session, and that they 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 copy of the petition and order of Court thereon be posted up in some public place in said Kearfarge Gore, for the aforesaid term of time, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer thereof may not be granted.
