Treaty of Peace and Amity, BETWEEN THE FRENCH REPUBLIC AND THE KING OF PRUSSIA.
The French Republic and his Majesty the King of Prussia, equally desirous to put an end to the war by a solid peace between the two nations, have nominated to be their Plenipotentiaries, viz.
The French Republic, Citizen FRANCIS BARTHELEMY, her Ambassador in Switzerland, and
The King of Prussia, his Minister of State of War, and of the Cabinet, CHARLES AUGUSTUS, Baron de Hardenberg, Knight of the order of the Red Eagle, of the White Eagle, and of Saint Stanislaus—Who have settled the following Articles:
Art. I. There shall be peace, amity, and good understanding between the French Republic and the King of Prussia as such as well as Elector of Brandenburg, and co-estate of the Germanic Empire.
Art. II. In consequence of which all hostilities between the two contracting powers shall cease from the ratification of the present treaty; and neither of them from that date shall furnish against the other in any way or manner any succour or quota either in men, horses, provisions, money, warlike stores, or otherwise.
Art. III. Neither of the contracting powers shall grant a passage through its territory to the troops of the enemy of the other.
Art. IV. The troops of the French Republic shall evacuate, within fifteen days after the ratification of the present treaty, those parts of the Prussian dominions which they may occupy on the right bank of the Rhine. All contributions and supplies of every description, by exaction, shall cease entirely fifteen days after the signing of the present treaty. All the arrears due at that epoch as well as the bills and promises contracted for them shall be null and void. Every thing which shall have been taken or levied after the above mentioned epoch shall be immediately freely returned or paid in money.
Art. V. The troops of the French Republic shall continue to occupy that part of the King of Prussia's dominions, situated upon the left bank of the Rhine. All definitive settlement concerning those provinces shall be deferred to the general peace with the Germanic Powers, whenever it may take place.
Art. VI. Until a new commercial treaty between the two contracting powers shall be settled, all commercial relations and communications shall be re-established upon the same footing they were before the present war.
Art. VII. It being impossible that the dispositions of the VIth Art. should have their full effect, without liberty of commerce being established throughout the north of Germany the two contracting powers shall take measures to remove the theatre of the war.
Art. VIII. There shall be granted to the individuals of the two nations respectively, release of all goods, incomes or estates of whatever nature they may be, detained, seized or confiscated in consequence of the war between France & Prussia; as well as prompt justice in the recovery of any debts which may be due to those individuals in the countries of the two contracting powers.
Art. IX. All prisoners respectively made since the beginning of the war, without regard to their number or quality, comprehending all Prussian seamen and navigators taken in Prussian vessels, in those of any other nation, and in general all those detained by either power, for cause of war, shall be returned in the space of two months at farthest after the exchange of the ratification of the present treaty, paying nevertheless the several debts which they may have contracted during the time of their detention; the same rule shall be followed for the sick and wounded as soon as their health shall be re-established. Commissaries shall be immediately appointed on both sides in order to proceed to the execution of the foregoing article.
Art. X. The prisoners of the Saxon, Mecklenburg, Palatine, and Hessian corps, as well as of Hesse-Cassel and Darmstadt, who have served in the King of Prussia's armies shall be equally comprehended in the exchange above mentioned.
Art. XI. The French Republic shall accept the good offices of his Majesty the King of Prussia, in favour of the Princes and States of the Germanic Empire, who shall wish to enter immediately into negotiation with her; and who, to that effect, have already claimed, or shall claim the intervention of the King. The French Republic, in order to give to the King of Prussia a first proof of her wish to concur in the establishment of the ancient ties of friendship, which have subsisted between the two nations, agrees not to treat as enemies' country for the space of three months after the ratification of the present treaty, those of the Princes and States of the said Empire, which are situated upon the right bank of the Rhine, in whose favour the King shall interest himself.
Art. XII. The present treaty shall not have effect till after having been ratified by the contracting parties, and the ratification shall be exchanged in this city of Basle, within the term of one month from this day, or sooner if possible.
In witness whereof, we the undersigned Ministers Plenipotentiaries of the French Republic and of his Majesty the King of Prussia, by virtue of our power, have signed the present Treaty of Peace and Amity, and have thereunto set our respective seals.
Done at Basle, the 16th Germinal, the 3d year of the French Republic—April 5th, 1795. (Signed)
FRANCOIS BARTHELEMY, and CHARLES AUGUSTUS, Baron [de Hardenberg.

The following interesting Articles are taken from the Connecticut Courant.
The Boston paper, entitled the Mercury, which ought to have been received by this Day's Mail, and from which this Intelligence was originally taken, is not come to hand.
Newspapers, though sent under the sanction of Law, are yet exposed to depredation. Recent and interesting intelligence is frequently arrested by this means. Some further provision by law appears to be wanting to secure the regular and certain transmission of Newspapers by the Mail.
NEW-YORK, June 8.
On Saturday at noon, the joint Committee of Canvassers, assembled at the office of the Secretary of State, and from thence, accompanied by the Secretary, proceeded to the house of Mr. JAY; when Mr. Hoffman, in behalf of the Committee, presented to Mr. JAY, the certificate of his election to the office of Governor; proceeding it by an address, which (as nearly as the noise attending the large and respectable assemblage of citizens, would enable us to hear) was as follows:
"That he was assigned by the committee appointed to canvass the votes taken at the last election for Governor, Lt. Governor, and Senators, to deliver to him the certificate of his election; in doing which he felt real pleasure.—That by it the people of the State of New-York, called him to the chair of government."
"That, selected as the organ of their voice, the committee united in the most unbounded confidence in his virtue and patriotism; and trusted that under his administration, the welfare of the state would be promoted, and the people live united, happy and free."
Mr. JAY replied, by expressing to the Committee "his gratitude for this proof of the confidence of his fellow-citizens as intimated in the certificate, which he had then the honour to receive. That he should endeavour, by his continual exertions, to answer as far as in his power, the hopes which the Committee had been pleased to express of his administration; and no pains should be spared to promote the public good, and to advance the prosperity and harmony of the people of this state. That the general satisfaction he saw prevail on the fair and impartial conduct of the committee, in their canvass, while it reflected honor on them, would furnish an example deserving of imitation."
A very numerous body of citizens then presented their congratulations to Mr. JAY, on his election.
BOSTON, June 17.
Legislature of Massachusetts.
A Bill on Monday had its second reading in the House, for granting a Lottery for the purpose of raising two thousand dollars, for the improvement of the roads from Gloucester to Ipswich and Salem.
A Bill was before the house, for establishing a turnpike road from Brookfield in the County of Worcester, to Wilbraham in the County of Hampshire.
Yesterday, in the house, a bill was read a first and second time, for incorporating a Bank, at Newburyport, by the name of the Merrimac Bank. The capital is not to be less than 70,000, nor more than 150,000 dollars.]
A resolve came down from the Senate, empowering the Treasurer to subscribe the sum of 200,000 dollars, to the sum already subscribed by this Commonwealth in the stock of the Union Bank; and directing the Treasurer to sell such part of the stock of the United States, bearing 6 per cent. interest, as would defray the same.
From EUROPE.
The British April Packet arrived here last evening, via Halifax. The papers by her are to April 29.—But a few days later than the French papers before received. By these it appears, that Lord HOOD, was immediately to sail to the Mediterranean, with NINE ships of the line, and four frigates.
We hear a bill is pending before the General Court, in addition to many very important improvements in this State, to connect the large peninsula, commonly called Dorchester-Neck, with the town of Boston, by a Causeway. Should it succeed, as no doubt it will, considering the persons engaged, the value of property will be highly advanced in that peninsula, and in the fourth part of this town.
Arrived here, in the ship Mary, Joaquin Joe De Barros, Esq. Vice-Consul of the United States at the Cape-de-Verds Islands.
We learn by an arrival from Guadalupe, that Victor Hughes, the commissioner to the Windward Islands, had been recalled.

NATIONAL CONVENTION, April 23.
Merlin (of Douay) after having asserted that good understanding with the foreign governments, would be best preserved by reciprocal considerations; and as there was a material difference between foreign Ambassadors and the Plenipotentiary Ministers, and Envoys, proposed, and the Convention decreed, that Ambassadors, when they come to speak in the Convention, should have a chair opposite to that of the President and should sit while speaking.
ENGLAND.
LONDON, April 29.
Extract from the speech of Earl Guildford, in the House of Lords.
"To America alone, because a strong and powerful country, England was obliged after first making breeches and transgressions that threatened to involve us in a war with them, to come to pacific terms. He was very happy that negotiations between us and them promised to advance the interests of both countries; but he could not but think that Ministers were both ignorant and malignant in their measures of attempting to implicate that happy people in the calamities of the present chimeraical war."
Extract from the speech of the Earl of Lansdowne, in the House of Lords.
"Of the misfortunes of this successful war, as they are pleased to call it, the greatest perhaps was, that Ministers always misjudged the character of the people with whom they had to deal. They had misjudged the character of the people of America and imagined that they were to be bullied into submission by injury and insult. The people of America were wise enough to see our folly, and moderate enough not to be so ready to take offence as we were to offer it. They knew that moderation and firmness must obtain the advantage over inconsiderate folly, and they were not deceived. He hoped the people of Ireland would imitate their example, and not suffer themselves to be irritated, convinced that the peevishness, passion or prejudice of any ministry, must yield, in the end to the temperate and united wishes of the nation. The Catholics of Ireland had shown great wisdom on many former occasions, and having, in part, reaped the fruits of it, they would not, he trusted, suffer it to forsake them on the present trying occasion. Ministers had misjudged the character of the people of France, and every plan founded on their conception of that character, had failed; they had misjudged the character of the people of Holland, forced them into a war against their inclination, and Holland was lost. He much feared they were now like to misjudge the character of the people of this country."
By accounts from Toulon, Marseilles, and Aix, the spirit of commotion which has so long agitated the south of France, appears at length to be suppressed.
PARIS, April 20.
Yesterday Lieut. Iles arrived at the admiralty office, with letters from Sir J. B. Warren, Bart. who is arrived at Torbay, with the squadron under his command. They have brought in a frigate of 26 guns, have burnt three merchantmen, and taken four others, the rest having escaped, by getting into shoal water, being very near the French coast.
Very late and Interesting.

BRUSSELS, Germinal 24—April 13.
Alterations and reforms are made in all the administrative bodies, which will be directed by the principles of justice and public utility.
The juries have been completely organized; but during the interval, before they shall be able to enter into their functions, the tribunal, whose sittings had been suspended, will resume their public duty, in order to examine those accused of forgery with regard to assignats.
We learn from Ostend, that a squadron of French frigates had arrived on the coast of maritime Flanders, in order to protect commerce in that quarter, and to chase the English who may come to interrupt the arrival of provisions in the ports of Dunkirk, Boulogne, Calais, &c.
By virtue of a resolution of the Representatives of the people, all the workmen, artists, literary men, bankers, agriculturists, merchants, &c. who expatriated themselves during the reign of Robespierre, are now permitted to return.
It is said, that Sweden and Prussia, are to meditate a peace between the German empire and France.
It has been remarked as extraordinary that the French convention should have ratified the treaty, before it was ratified by the King of Prussia. The convention according to an established form, takes treaties into consideration on the fourth day after they are presented, by the committee of public safety, and if no objection be made, they are ratified on that day. The treaty with the grand duke of Tuscany was ratified several weeks before any account was received of the ratification at France.
One of the Paris papers asserts that general Dumourier has lately been at Paris, and made himself known to several of the moderate party,
who were unanimous in advising him to make a speedy retreat.
The Spanish fleet under don Langara is said to be very indifferently manned; the account published at Madrid, says, that the 1000 land forces he took on board at Mahon, were in exchange, for a great number of sick left behind him.
The last account from Constantinople, mention, that the additions to the fortifications of Bender were completed; and that three bulwarks were added to the fortress of Akiermen, at the mouth of the Dnieper. The works at Imael were also completed, and the batteries that defend the entrance of the channel had 900 pieces of cannon mounted upon them. The Turks were also fortifying the mouth of the Danube, and a new fortress at Burgos, in the black Sea, was in great forwardness. The whole of the Janizaries had sent a formal request to the grand signior to be armed and equipped in the same manner as the new military corps, and instructed in European tactics.
The church Militant—In the official account of one of the late skirmishes between the Spaniards and the French, General Urrutia mentions that the Parisi priest, of Castellfort, contributed considerably to the victory.
BALTIMORE, June 9.
The brig Phillipp, Capt. Rutter, arrived here yesterday, in ten days from Bermuda; Capt. Rutter says that no vessels were brought in during his stay there, except the ship Maryland, of George-Town, her cargo was taken out, and she lay waiting for trial at the time he failed—He also informs that the intentions of the people of Bermuda are the same as heretofore, in regard to the American vessels, but that they in general express a great desire to know the issue of Mr. Jay's negotiation.
PHILADELPHIA, June 10.
Just arrived, the ship Molly, Capt. Farrell, eleven weeks from London, who informs that, on the 4th of April, between Scilly and Ireland, he was brought too by a squadron of French frigates consisting of 3, by one of which (the commodore's ship called the Cockade of 44 guns) he was boarded. The commodore informed him, that he was cruising against the British for 3 months, during which time they had taken 56 prizes.
After detaining Capt. Farrell 3 hours the commodore told him that he was very sorry for detaining him so long, showed him every mark of respect and very politely dismissed him.
By Capt. Talbot, of the brig Ann, in 56 days from Dublin, we learn; that the Emperor of Morocco has declared war against the United States of America.
Arrived at the fort, sloop Nancy, Capt. Morgan, 21 days from Havannah, who informs that he experienced a heavy gale of wind on the 29th ult. at which time he got foul of a brig belonging to Salem, from Jamaica, homeward bound, with the loss of her Captain, mate and one of the crew, who fell victims to the contagion in Jamaica.
JUNE 12.
Extract of a letter from Hamburg, dated 22d April, 1795.
"The English have upwards of 150 sail of transports at Bremen, and this place, to take off as is supposed, the remainder of their army and the French emigrants."
"There is at Hamburg, opposite this, on the other side of the Elbe, 6000 French emigrants all under arms, they say to be embarked for England, a guard of soldiers is kept on the river, to prevent them from coming in here by stealth; it is likewise said that they do not like to go to England, but mean to remain on the continent."
AMERICAN CLAIMS AND APPEALS.
[Communicated by a gentleman of veracity, just arrived from Bristol.]
The disposition of the cases in which papers have as yet come into the hands of Mr. Bayard, agent for the claims and appeals for the United States, is in substance as follows—In about one hundred and fifty cases, he has obtained process from the high court of appeal in Great Britain, and has forwarded the same to the Secretary of State for the United States. In between seventy and eighty other cases, he finds the information forwarded to him too defective to authorize or enable him to enter a claim or appeal.
Correct lists of the above two description of cases, specifying the names of the vessels, masters and the owners, have been forwarded to the Secretary of State. In about fifty more cases, where American vessels and their cargoes; after capture and detention for some time, have been liberated, and where of course the demand on the part of American citizens is only for costs and damages, it is probable that Sir William Scott, the King's Advocate General, and Bayard, will come to an amicable settlement without the enormous expense, the delay and vexation of an appeal.
These cases will be put into a train of arrangement as soon as Mr. Bayard can obtain sufficient information to enable him to form an estimate of the loss sustained by the American citizens; and the British government is to pay what may be thus agreed upon as a just and reasonable allowance.
In those cases where process issues, particularly where the capture has been made by privateers, great delay will unavoidably take place, for the process must be sent first to the Secretary of State in Philadelphia, by American vessels (in order to avoid a delay and the risk of failure to which it would be exposed in British vessels bound directly to any one of the British islands in the West-Indies) by him, it would be forwarded to the respective islands in which it
is to be served.—Hence if war continues, it must be returned to the United States, and thence forwarded to Mr. Bayard in London. Should the captors on the return of this process, before the British High Court of Admiralty, or the Lords of Appeal, refuse appearing to the suits, a reasonable time, probably six months, will be allowed by the Judge, or the Lords, in which, if they are so disposed, the captors may enter their appearance. Should they suffer this period to escape without an appearance, they will be declared, in contempt, and an attachment will issue, which must take the same track with the process before issued.—On the return of the attachment, if the captors still decline coming before the court, it is to be presumed the British Government will, without further delay, make them a just and reasonable compensation. If the capture has been made a King's ship, then an appearance will be entered without delay on behalf of the captors, and the cause soon brought to a hearing, provided there has been no delay on the part of the claimants, in sending forward the best authenticated vouchers in their power, of the expenses they have incurred, and the losses they have sustained.
JUNE 16.
Dispatches were received this day, from France, by the minister of the French Republic, brought to New-York by a vessel from Nantz—We hear they contain the important information of peace with the Kings of Spain, Sardinia, and the Two Sicilies; that negotiations have been opened with Austria and Great Britain; and, in short, that there is a fair prospect of a general peace.
A letter from London, dated April 30, says, "Americans, Danes and Swedes must all expect to be brought into British ports, and to be paid for their cargoes in the way, and according to a rate to be established here. The neutrals who may feel the effects of this regulation may not suffer in point of interest as individuals—but to the national flag, it will be an indignity hard to be borne."
"The business of claims goes on as well as the nature of the proceedings will admit."
"The government shews a good disposition at present to conciliate, and to forget past misunderstandings. I hope events may keep them in this way of thinking—but had not our government interfered; had it suffered each individual to obtain justice in what manner they could, I fear our citizens would have fared but illy; we are treated with far more respect than any other neutral power."
JUNE 17.
This day was assigned for the execution of Vogel and Michel the two persons under sentence for treason, but a respite from the Supreme Executive of the United States has suspended the sentence until November next.
His Excellency John Jay left town this morning, on his return to New-York.
Capt. Lovell, arrived here from Boston, a few days ago, off Rhode-Island, was boarded by the Cleopatra frigate, in company with the Resolution, a British 74, and the Thistle frigate, all on a cruise; they informed him, that they were cruising off and on there, in expectation of falling in with the French frigate Medusa, which carried in citizen Adet, the new Minister from the French Republic, which frigate is now lying in Newport.
She has failed.
NEW-YORK, June 10.
Extract of a letter from Port de Pais, dated May 17, to a gentleman in New-York.
"We have this day received accounts from Gonaives, of the capture of a British ship of 44 guns, by five small republican privateers, who boarded her while at anchor. This I believe to be true as it comes well authenticated."
JUNE 15.
Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, dated April 22, 1795, to the editor of this paper—by the Cheeseman.
"The people here are perfectly tranquil, respecting the transactions of the Convention, or the operations of the war, the name of either is seldom mentioned. Some of the young gentlemen returned from the army, the first instant, were exasperated to find some of their relations sacrificed by the sanguinary measures pursued under Robespierre, a tumult and riot ensued, in which one of that party was killed, and several desperately wounded—the guillotine publicly burnt, and some trifling disturbance at the play house several evenings, but all is perfectly quiet at present."
"Provisions of every kind plenty and cheap, except bread and rice, which really are scarce and dear."
Extract of a letter from an officer in the Federal army, to a Gentleman in Lancaster.
"The Indians are here trading continually; numbers have settled at Forts Wayne and Defiance—A chieftan, called Rutherville, has settled about three miles from the former garrison up to St. Joseph's with about 60 families. Blue Jacket has set down near Fort Defiance, with the principal part of the Shawanese and Delawares."
"It is generally believed here, that we shall have a permanent Peace the ensuing fall."
JUNE 17.
A correspondent has favored us with the following extract of a letter from Bermuda, dated the 6th inst.—"You may now rest assured no more condemnations of American property will take place in our Court. A few days ago four American vessels captured by two privateers, were discharged by the agents without being put into the Admiralty, and departed immediately. Your produce continues a mere glut, and prices are lower than in America—indeed the market is completely over-stocked."
BOSTON, June 22.
ACCOUNTS from CONSTANTINOPLE mention, that the scarcity of grain has become alarming in Turkey; and instead of thinking of war, the government is occupied in procuring supplies of bread. A fleet is sent to Alexandria for this purpose.
JUNE 24.
UNWARRANTABLE PROCEEDINGS.
[FACTS.]
To record any transaction which reflects disgrace upon our fellow citizens is a very disagreeable talk—But silently to pass over the unlawful and riotous proceeding on Saturday night, would argue a gross deficiency of duty. Its rise and progress we shall endeavour to narrate with justice and impartiality. On Friday last, it was reported, that one of the Bermudian privateers, which had been among the late depredators on American commerce, had come into the harbour, to water. This roused the feelings of many; and some inconsiderate person, issued a short hand-bill, calling on the citizens to attend the exhibition, at the end of Long-Wharf, of dismantling a Bermudian privateer. Accordingly a considerable number attended; and about nine o'clock on Saturday night, attacked the sloop Speedwell of Halifax, from New-Providence, plundered and cut her mast, rigging, &c. to pieces; and to complete the business, at about 12 o'clock towed her off into the stream, and set fire to her; thereby risking the destruction of the shipping at anchor, and, in fact, the town of Charlestown, to which, the tide being flood, she drifted; and where the alarm bell for fire, was rung.—However, by the active exertions of some of the inhabitants, the blazing hull was towed into a cove, and there burnt to the water's edge. In dismantling the sloop, some military stores were found on board her, which served to exasperate the rioters, and perhaps provoked them to the lengths they finally went. These, we have ascertained to be two iron 3 pounders, two swivels, eight muskets, about forty charges of shot, and 15lb. powder. These were taken on board at Halifax, and intended merely, as appears by the declaration of the Captain, the clearance and by the extreme weakness of the crew (no more than four men) as a defence against the gun-boats, and small armed craft, which cruise about the Bermudian islands, and are fitted out at Charleston. Capt. Meagher, who commanded the sloop, has declared, on oath, that he never was concerned in any privateering, or was ever entered in a British King's ship, and has, before Mr. Justice Barrett, protested, on oath, that the sloop Speedwell [mentioned through mistake to be the Betsy of St. Croix, in the Governor's Proclamation; from the circumstance of her having, to escape privateers, that name on her stern] is owned at Halifax, by Mr. Thomas Fillis, merchant, John Croskill, and himself, mariners; all of Halifax.—That she failed from thence about the beginning of April, on a trading voyage, for New-Providence, having for his crew four men only, and having on board as cargo, salmon, mackerel, potatoes, flour, boards, some fish, &c. That on his return from New-Providence to Nova-Scotia, having on board besides 2500 dollars in specie, lignum-vitae, hides, pine apples, &c. [we learn to the amount, with the vessel, to near 10,000 dollars] meeting with contrary winds, and being apprehensive his pine apples would damage, he came into this port, made a regular entry of vessel and cargo, at the Custom-House, and obtained a permit to land and dispose of his cargo; and that she was destroyed, as is represented above. The papers of the sloop, which were lodged in town, before the riot took place, prove the representations of the Captain; and shew the wicked wantonness of the rioters. Mr. Fillis, one of the owners of the sloop and cargo, is son to a gentleman, whose exertions in the cause of liberty, and whose sacrifices for the relief and comfort of American prisoners, when confined at Halifax, are recorded in the hearts of many of our citizens.
Executive proceedings.

Whereas it has been represented to me, that a number of Persons unknown, did the last night riotously and tumultuously assemble in the town of Boston, and with force and violence, did burn a vessel named the Betsy, of St. Croix, lying at the Long-Wharf, in the said Boston, and destroyed the cargo then on board.
I have therefore thought fit, by, and with the advice and consent of the Council, to issue this Proclamation;—Hereby requiring all Magistrates, Sheriffs and Constables, and I do also, recommend to every good Citizen of this Commonwealth, that they use their utmost endeavours for discovering, apprehending, and bringing to Justice any, or all persons concerned in this unlawful and dangerous proceeding—so that he or they, may be dealt with according to law.
GIVEN at the Council Chamber in Boston, this Twenty-first Day of June, in the year of our LORD, One Thousand seven Hundred and Ninety-Five, and in the Nineteenth Year of the Independence of the United States of America. SAMUEL ADAMS.
Attest, JOHN AVERY, jun. Sec'y.
Yesterday the Governor made the following communication to the Legislature.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and House of Representatives, HAVING received late on Saturday afternoon last, official information from the Consul

of the French Republic, that a vessel had anchored within this harbour, last from New-Providence, and that there was reason to suspect that she was a concealed foreign Privateer, I immediately gave orders to a proper officer, to make diligent enquiry into the cause of suspicion, and report the same to me, that I might consider what measures I ought to take thereon: Very late in the evening, I was informed that an outrageous assembly of men had dismasted the vessel and thrown the cargo then on board into the sea, and soon after, between ten and eleven o'clock, and not until then, a man came to my house and said that he was commander of the vessel, and that his whole property was destroyed by the said persons assembled as aforesaid—On the next day I summoned the Council and asked advice. They advised me to issue a Proclamation immediately; although it was not in the power of the Governor and Council, to offer a suitable reward to such persons as might discover and bring to justice any person or persons, concerned in so dangerous a proceeding—You alone have the disposal of the public monies, and I refer it to you, to judge whether a suitable reward is necessary to give strength to the proclamation. You will determine thereon as your wisdom shall direct.
SAMUEL ADAMS.
Council Chamber, Boston, June 22d, 1795.
Legislative proceedings.
The above was committed to a joint committee, consisting of Hon. Messrs. DANE, and DAVIS, Messrs. SEWALL, TUDOR and EDWARDS.
YESTERDAY
There came down from the Senate, a resolution, reported by the committee of both houses, to whom was referred his Excellency's message—which resolution authorized the Governor and Council to offer a reward of 500 dollars to any person or persons, who should discover and bring to punishment; the advisers or perpetrators of the outrage committed on the vessel referred to in the message; and contained a request to the Governor to render all proper assistance to the sufferers, to enable them to obtain an indemnity for their losses. The house assigned 10 o'clock this day to consider the subject, and in the mean time committed the resolution to a committee consisting of Dr. Eustis, Mr. Sprague and Col. Barnes.
Pomp , the murderer of Capt. Charles Furbush as mentioned in the CENTINEL some time since, has been tried by the Supreme Court at Ipswich, convicted, and sentence of death passed on him.
MARINE JOURNAL.
Arrived here, the Schooner Nancy , Capt. Donaldson, from Halifax with the British Mail. It arrived at Halifax, the 6th inst. in 34 days from Falmouth.
A letter from London, dated April 29, 1795, says, "The Minerva , Capt. CROWNINSHIELD, who was just on departure, for Boston, took fire a few days since, owing to the breaking of a bottle Vitriol on board, and is much damaged, as is a great part of her cargo. The Mary, Calley , will depart shortly, direct for your port. The Thetis , Robinson, is also up, as is the Hercules , the large ship built by Mr. Lane."

Capt. Choate, from Surinam, 44 days; May 16, was boarded by a French privateer; sent for adjudication to Guadalupe, and acquitted, except some freight belonging to a passenger, which was condemned as Dutch property. May 28, boarded by an English 64, suffered no detention. June 16, lat. 39, long. 69, spoke a brig from Rhode-Island, for Isle of May.

Fairfield, who had lost 3 of his seamen; Schooner Olive , Wellman, who had also lost 3 of his seamen; Schooner Patty , West; brig Polly and Betsy , Haraden; all belonging to this town. He saw a Schooner going in as he came out.
Arrived at New-London, Capt. Thompson, from Richmond, Virginia, via New-York, who informs on Sunday last, a ship belonging to Philadelphia, was boarded by Admiral Murray's Squadron, in the lat. of Sandy Hook, stripped of her people, and had two men put on board her, one being sick and the other good for nothing. The ship was obliged to put into New-York, not having hands sufficient to conduct her to Philadelphia. Capt. Thompson further informs, that there was a report in New-York on Sunday last, "That his Britannic Majesty had issued orders to his commanders, to take all American vessels bound to France."
Capt. Webb, of the ship Washington of Salem, from Bengal, informs that the ship Arenthusa , Capt. Swain, of do. had failed from Bengal for Philadelphia, about a month before him—Capt. Webb, failed in company with the ship Three Brothers , Capt. Brown, for Philadelphia—the ships America , Babcock , and Enterprize , Hubbard, which were captured by Commodore Mitchell's Squadron in the Straits of Sunda, were sent into Bengal, where the Captains had received damages for one of the ships before Capt. Webb failed, both of which were bound for Europe shortly after. Arrived at Bengal from London; the ship Sarah , of Newbury-Port, Capt. Jackson.
From the Log Book of the ship Roebuck , Captain Bliss , 63 days from Bristol.
April 10, lat. 19, 50, fell in with 3 French frigates, Le Fraternite , Le Glorie , and Le Gentile on a cruise,—the commodore sent an armed boat a long side the Roebuck , which carried Capt. Bliss on board, where he was treated civilly, and dismissed with great politeness.
The 11th at 2 A. M. an English fleet hove in sight consisting of six men of war, three of which were two deckers; they gave chase to two of the French frigates which we fell in with the day before, the frigates being then about three miles a head under a press of sail at 6 P. M. the headmost of the British fired a gun to leeward and shewed English colours; the French fired to windward and hoisted their colours; from eight to ten, P. M. they fired several random shot; from half past ten to midnight a constant fire commenced, by which we concluded that the French frigates were brought to close action—at day light the English fleet appeared in sight standing to the southward, with the addition of one or two of the frigates which were captured, and seemed to have been much shattered in the engagement—At ten, A. M. lost sight of them.
From BALTIMORE, June 17
Yesterday arrived the ship Sidney , Capt. Porter. The Sidney failed from Dunkirk, the 25th April, spoke the ship Joseph , Capt. Coffin, out 34 days from New-York bound to Hamburg, all well—May 5th spoke off the Isle of Wight, the snow Nelly —Deshields, of Baltimore, out 35 days from Falmouth, bound to Hamburg.—The Nelly rode quarantine at Falmouth 14 days. May 10th, spoke the Meusett French sloop of war, in 21 days from our Capes bound to Brest, the Capt. of which informed Capt. Porter that he had taken several prizes.
A gentleman who came in the above vessel informs, that the Commissioners had arrived at Paris for the purpose of exchanging prisoners—but it was thought that they had orders to treat for peace, as one of the Grenvilles was at the head of them.
By the Sidney , we learn that Capt. Barney is appointed third in command, in the fleet fitting out in Holland.—Admiral Vanklief is appointed chief in command.
From NEW-YORK, June 19
Yesterday, arrived in this port, the French privateer Schooner Le Vengeur , with her prize the ship St. Joseph Princesse d'Autriche, mounting 12 carriage guns, and having on board 37 men; she is laden with wine, brandy, dry goods, &c. said to be worth 200,000 Dollars.
The privateer mounted only 6 guns and had 55 men on board, the ship struck without firing a gun.
Translated from the Courier Francois , published in Philadelphia on Thursday last.
A deputation of the Colonists of St. Domingo, waited on the citizen Adet, Minister of the French Republic, at his house. He received them in a manner the most fraternal, and worthy of the Representative of a free people.
One of the Colonial citizens addressed him and exposed, in a succinct manner, the nature of the misfortunes of that Colony, part of which he had been witness to—and of the impatience with which they waited for the result of the contradictory discussion between Polverel, and Sonthonax, and their commissioners, before the National Convention.
The Minister said in answer, that France had not been exempt from the persecutions and misfortunes which St. Domingo had suffered; but that the reign of tyranny was passed, and that justice, humanity, and patriotism, were alone the order of the day.
In fine that the confronting discussion which they had requested was opened, and continued at his departure from Paris.
The article respecting Polverel's falling dead at the criminal Tribunal, by more recent accounts, appears to be unfounded.
JUNE 22.
Yesterday evening arrived the Swedish brig Des Gluckstern , Capt. Payets, who informs that he left Valencia on the 2d April, at which time he heard of no Moorish or Algerine cruizers being out; but, on the contrary, has every reason to believe that reports of that nature are erroneous. Accounts had reached Valencia from Barcelona, on the day before he failed, which mentioned that the French were marching with all their force, within 20 miles of that city.
The brig Woolwich , M'Cowan, 78 days from Waterford, with a number of Passengers, and a Boston sloop from Jeremie, in 13 days, are arrived at the Port; another brig in light.
PROTEST.
Captain Robert Askins, late master of the American sloop Sally , of Bristol, ( Messrs. ) has protested before Peter Lohra, Esq. at Philadelphia, that on the 15th of April last, near Barbadoes, he was boarded and captured by an armed boat belonging to the French frigate, the Partridge , commanded by Jacques Boultellier. "That this appearer, together with his crew, were soon after sent on board of said frigate, where his papers were examined and his vessel was adjudged to be burnt, her register happened, through an omission not to be signed by the Collector of the proper district."
"That this appearer then requested, that he and his crew might have permission to take his boat, and proceed in her to Barbadoes, which was refused, and after his vessel was burned down to the water's edge, he then renewed the same request, and met with an absolute refusal. That this appearer's crew were then put in irons, in which they were kept for the space of six weeks, and afterwards they were carried into St. Martins, where he was put on board of a prison-ship and his crew were confined in the common gaol, and after a detention of ten days, were in consequence of the intercession of several American Masters of Vessels, then there liberated, and the crew sent in a Swedish vessel to St. Bartholomews. That the treatment this ap-
pearer experienced and received from the officers and people of the French frigate, was very severe and exceeding illiberal—the officers declared that the Americans merited worse treatment than the British subjects. That upon their unjustifiable conduct towards him, his crew and vessel—and intimating, that he would lay his case before the Government of the United States, they contemptuously replied, that it would be altogether useless and unnecessary—because the President—although once a good man, was now merely a cypher—and also repeatedly spoke, with the greatest contempt, respecting him and the said Government.
This almost equals some of the British piracies.
Extract of a letter, dated Calcutta, 23d of January, 1795, to a gentleman in Philadelphia, received there by the Three Brothers , arrived on Monday last.
"We have no liberty of the press in Calcutta. A Mr. William Duane, proprietor and editor of a paper called, "The World," was sent to England last month by Sir John Shore—for advocating the cause of France, and attempting to disseminate the democratic principles of Tom Paine—in this paper. They did not give him a day to settle his affairs, but pulled him off like a felon on board ship.—Six other printers were formally cautioned by government not to insert a syllable against the Constitution of England, otherwise they should positively experience the fate of Duane. Since that intimation the printers are chop-fallen and panic struck—consequently our papers are not worth reading.—Duane pleaded being an American, and represented the cruelty of transporting him, a foreigner to England, not the place of his nativity and friends—Government would not come to any explanation, nor gratify him with a recital of their reasons for sending him to England. This little sketch may give you some idea as to our political principles in the emporium of India."
English Liberty.
From a London paper of May 5.
At six o'clock on Sunday evening, a message was carried to Mr. Gerald, that William Pitt, one of the jailors of Newgate, wanted to speak to him at the gate of the ward, where he was imprisoned (Gilt Spur street Compter) Mr. Gerald, in consequence of his hard and rigorous imprisonment, was in bed, but the message came very pressing, he got up as well as he could, and in his night cap and slippers, proceeded to the door, where he was seized by those instruments of power, who loaded his feeble and emaciated limbs with double irons, hand-cuffed him, and in spite of his entreaties to take farewell of an infant daughter, who was his companion in his dreary abode, tore him away, and thrust him into a post chaise prepared to carry him to Portsmouth, from whence a transport fails for Botany Bay.
JUNE 27.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The Ceres , Capt. Dunham, has arrived at the Vineyard, from Nantz, in 32 days. Letters from the Captain have been received in town; but they do not contain an article of political intelligence.
We must request our readers at a distance from the town, not to give too implicit credit to the rumours of riots in this town: Though what has happened has been outrageous, still report has augmented its iniquity a thousand fold; and every thing is now as tranquil as in the most peaceable village in the Common-wealth. Profecutions are commencing against those who abetted the destruction of the sloop on Saturday evening, and those who circulated the seditious handbills; and the hand of Law and Justice will apply a remedy equal to the disease.
From MADRID, April 4.
A letter has been received from Dr. Joseph Jordon, commander of his Majesty's ship the Mountain , stating—that on the 30th ult. in the morning, being cruising five leagues S. E. of Cape St. Sebastian, he discovered at some distance ten large ships, which he conjectured were English, but on his making the proper signals, & not being answered as they should have been, he was obliged to haul his wind, discovering them to be a Squadron of the enemy, consisting of eight sail of the line, one a three decker, and two frigates; all of which hoisted the French National flag, and pursuing him, he was forced to take shelter under the guns of St. Felix de Guixels, by the help of which they had kept the enemy off. And by a commander of a small Spanish vessel, which had been taken, but released by this Squadron, it appears they have been 32 days on their passage from Brest to join the Toulon Squadron.
On the arrival of the above news orders were sent to Don Juan Langara, to put to sea within 28 hours with a Squadron of 16 ships of the line and 8 frigates, and to receive on board 1000 troops, which the Governor of Mahon had been ordered to keep ready for the fleet, when they should be required.
SALE M, June 23.
Capt Meek, who arrived on Sunday in 35 days from Aux-Cayes, informs, that while he lay at that place, four boats failed to attack an English cruiser, a brigantine of 18 guns, that lay near Tiberoon. The boats succeeded in boarding her, captured and brought her safe into Aux-Cayes—just before he failed, an embargo was laid for the purpose of cloaking an expedition against an English 44 gun ship. The vessels for the purpose were two small ships of 16 guns, the above brigantine, and two small
chooners. Capt. M. supposes, that if they find her at anchor, they will capture her.
We are told, that fifty vessels have been launched this season in the Merrimac, between Haverhill and the north of the river, and that an equal number is now building.
PORTSMOUTH, June 30.

The business of the day being over and the Brethren having enjoyed a quantum sufficit of innocent mirth and festivity, returned to their several homes with dispositions which we hope will always characterize the Craft , to each other friends, and to the world not foes.
The Legislature of Massachusetts passed an act at their late session, incorporating sundry persons into a company by the name of the "Massachusetts Fire Insurance Company."—Also an act incorporating certain persons who have formed a society for the information and aid of Foreigners, in their migration and settlement, by the name of "The Massachusetts Society, for the aid of Emigrants."
