REMARKS ON THE PRESENT SITUATION OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
LETTER I.
To publish a few observations on the present situation of our affairs, appears to me to be my duty. Under that impression to forbear, would be criminal.
Some of my countrymen want no information that I can give them. To these, it would be presumption to offer it. Others perhaps have less favorable opportunities of obtaining information than I have had. To these I address what I have now to say.
Neither time, nor my infirmities will permit me to be attentive to style, arrangement or the labor of consulting former publications. I write from my heart—and from recollection.
Having nothing to hope, wish or fear, but as a commoner of these States, to which I am bound by birth, the tenderest pledges, friendships and fellow-citizenship, I may be mistaken: but I can never mean to deceive. That would be worse than suicide. My best interests of every kind are ranged against the attempt. All that can be dear to man, is wrapp'd up for me, in the general welfare.
I know, and I respect the formidable host I shall provoke. My motives fortify me. I will provoke, because I esteem them. Strike then—but, hear.
After our Revolution, two dangers presented themselves to view—Internal discord and the jealousy of foreign powers respecting the form of our government, especially if it should be remarkably profligate, which, no doubt, would be our desire and aim.
Any person acquainted with our transactions, in the two wars about the middle of this century, might easily judge what was to be expected from internal discord.
Our first Federal Constitution partook largely of the dislocating ingredients, that were too redundant among us. It was defective, and pregnant with disorders.
In 1787, the most immediate evils of it, were in an extraordinary manner removed.
In 1788, the new constitution commenced its operations, and held its course with an attendant assemblage of great benefits.
In the next year, surprising political movements began in France, apparently auspicious to the cause of liberty and the interests of mankind.
In the following years, the atmosphere was obscured by dark clouds. The neighbouring powers, with some remote, entered into a confederacy against France. There all the passions of the soul were roused. Perils from without, perils from within distracted the understanding, and convulsed humanity. The selfish, the audacious, and the unfeeling seized the disastrous opportunity, and by plausible pretensions to patriotism clutched the public opinion, and with it the public force.
The nation had a choice of difficulties. One was, to embroil and weaken themselves, by contests for power, and thus more and more expose themselves to their formidable invaders. The other was, to adhere to their leaders, however exceptional their character and conduct, and thus make up as much strength as they could, to repel their inexorable enemies, reserving better regulations for more quiet and safe times. They chose the last, and as we did in a similar struggle, bore many things that were wrong, rather than disturb the exertions for defence.
The tempest raged with increasing fury, and in the midst of it, among vast crowds immolated with detestable iniquity, a sacrifice rather to the policy of his pretended friends, than to the hatred of France, fell—one of the best of kings, probably of men—the benevolent Louis XVI. whose virtues I shall esteem, whose memory I shall revere, whose fate I shall deplore, as long as any sense of worth, respect, and compassion, embalmed by gratitude, shall rest within the unbroken urn of my heart. At length—the reign of tyrants, or rather of monsters, ended.
The agitations of our minds during these conflicts, were violent. Some among us were so overheated that they even vindicated the most enormous atrocities of the most abandoned of men, as necessary severities. But—this was not the sentiment of America. For every particle of needless violence, she sighed. She perceived the name of liberty profaned, the cause dishonored, the interests violated. What could the do among the rapid horrors? She pitied—detested—weep and execrated.
Through the murky exhalations from a bleeding land, a ray of hope twinkled. Soon afterwards the prospect brightened; and when the sky became clear, with transports of joy, we saw France firm at her post, and true to herself, to freedom and to mankind.
Do we censure her, for enduring the horrible despotism of the monsters, during the paroxysm of her destiny, and not give her credit for putting, as soon as circumstances permitted, a period to them and
their abominations? That would not be fair dealing.
Her submission to them was proportioned to the foreign efforts to destroy her. These compelled her, these imposed upon her a necessity to submit. How? by a combination of almost all Europe, against a single nation in a new and untried state, proclaiming "threats of fire and sword," and laboring to execute those threats, by the most numerous and well disciplined armies commanded by the most renowned generals in the world.
But—who assisted her to extinguish the system of terror? Any Emperor, King, or Prince? Any of the crown'd professors, protectors, and practisers of "morality and religion?" No. What then? Her own good sense, spirit and humanity. This glorious act was all her own.
It was an act congenial to the feelings of Frenchmen. Universal France—the miscreants of murder and pillage are too inconceivable to be regarded—universal France rejoiced in the deed. Read the accounts written by foreigners who were witnesses of the public exultations upon the event. There one may find some traces of French mind.
The nation revived. She flung off her enemies from her frontiers, into their own territories. Thither she pursued them. The war blazed. Her victories were brilliant. She had declared herself a REPUBLIC, was evidently competent to the final establishment of her liberty, and in that attitude standing upon her trophies, stretched out her right hand to us, and proffered us her friendship.
Thus the second danger before mentioned was enervated; if a harmony founded on good dispositions towards one another and mutual interests, could be accomplished.

By arrivals at New-York.
LONDON, March 8—9. THE bank have agreed to issue dollars at 4s. 9d. each, instead of 4s. 6d. as at first proposed. The number which they mean to issue amounts to 480,053—On Sunday 80,000 were stamped at the Mint. The mark is the king's head, which is placed on the king of Spain's neck.
We have to state, upon the authority of letters from Peterburgh (and we believe that government were put in possession of the fact by the last messenger that arrived from Sweden) the very important intelligence, that another naval armed neutrality is forming in the North, of which Russia is to be the head, and to furnish the largest quota of ships.
From the same source we are also informed, that under the mediation of Prussia, a commercial treaty is negotiating between Russia and the French Republic, and that the partial admission of French commodities into the Russian ports is to be looked upon as a preliminary measure which is to be followed by greater privileges.
Letters from Frankfort of the 15th ult. state the triumphal entry of Buonaparte at Rome; little credit however, was given to this rumor.
General Clarke is arrived at Piacenza, on his way to Rome; but the Pope had left that city.
The King of Naples continues to observe the strictest neutrality. The French have formed an army of Reserve of 18,000 on the frontiers of Geneva.
Letters from Carlsruhe of the 23d ult. state that great apprehensions are entertained in that quarter of the French effecting the passage of the Rhine. They have collected upwards of 30,000 men between Spire, Neustadt and Landau.
Letters from Italy down to the 15th inst. announce the rapid progress of Buonaparte towards Rome. His holiness had sent two couriers to the French General soliciting peace; but Buonaparte sent back his dispatches unopened, saying, "He would come presently to treat with his holiness in the capitol."
Peace with the Pope.
Paris Journals of the 4th and 5th arrived yesterday, they bring an account that peace is concluded between the Pope and the French.
The following are the official letters published by the Directory on the subject of the peace concluded between the Pope and the French Republic.
Buonaparte, commander in Chief, to the French Executive Directory. "Head-quarters, at Tolentino, 10 Ventose, Feb. 19."
"I shall send you immediately, the ten standards, which we have taken from the Pope in the different actions we have had with his troops. You will find annexed the copy of a letter which the Holy Fa-
ther has written to me, and of my answer. (Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
PIUS POPE VI.
"Dear Son, health and apostolic benediction."
"Desiring to terminate amicably our differences with the French Republic by the retreat of the troops which you command, we send and depute to you, as our Plenipotentiaries, two ecclesiastics, the Cardinal Matty, who is perfectly known to you, and M. Caleppi: and two seculars, the Duke Don Lewis Baschi, our nephew, and the Marquis Camillus Massimi, who are invested with our full powers, to concert with you, promise, and subscribe such conditions as we hope will be just and reasonable, obliging ourselves under our faith and word to approve and ratify them in special form, in order that they may be valid and inviolable in all future time. Assured of the sentiments of good will which you have manifested, we have abstained from removing any thing from Rome, by which you will be persuaded of the entire confidence which we repose in you. We conclude by assuring you of our perfect esteem, and in giving you the paternal apostolic benediction."
Given at St. Peter's in Rome, the 11th Feb. 1797, the 22d year of our Pontificate.
"PIUS, P. P. VI."
Buonaparte, Gen. in chief of the army of Italy, to his holiness the Pope.
"Head-quarters, Talentino, 1st Ventose, 5th year."
"MOST HOLY FATHER. "I ought to thank your Holiness for the obliging things contained in the letter which you have taken the trouble to write to me."
"The peace between the French Republic and your Holiness is just signed; I facilitate myself in being able to contribute to your personal safety."
"I entreat your Holiness to guard against the persons who are at Rome, who are sold to the courts, the enemies of France, or who suffer themselves to be guided exclusively by the passions of hatred, which the loss of territory constantly engenders. All Europe knows the pacific inclination, and conciliatory virtue of your Holiness. The French Republic, I hope, will be one of the true friends of Rome."
"I send my aid-de-camp, chief of brigade, to express to your Holiness the perfect esteem and veneration which I have for your person, and to entreat you to consider in the desire which I have the honor to be, your most obedient servant, (Signed) "BUONAPARTE."
LONDON, MARCH 9. In consequence of the advertisement of the issue of dollars at 4s. 9d. the Bank was yesterday put into a state of siege. The crowd and pressure exceeded even that of Monday the 27th ult. after the alarming order of council was made known. Before two o'clock the issue of dollars was stopped. They were sold by Jews at the avenues for five shillings. It is supposed that the manner of issuing them must again be changed.
CHARLESTON, March 30. Yesterday arrived the sloop Ruby, Heyham, Nassau, 7 days.
Capt. Heyham informs, that 10 sail of Spanish vessels, from La Vera Cruz, bound to the Havannah, loaded with provisions, were taken by two English privateers; three of them had arrived at Nassau.
By the privateer William and Mary, arrived at Nassau from the coast of Cuba, it was reported, that the Spaniards were making great preparations to attack New-Providence.
NEW-YORK, April 21.
COMMUNICATION.
We are informed by a correspondent that the English have had for some time past in contemplation an attack directed from Canada thro' the United States, on the Spanish possessions of upper Louisiana: in which it is even asserted they are seconded by some well known persons of credit in this country. In consequence of this it is said, the Spanish minister made application to government, insisting on proper measures being adopted to prevent the violation of our territory. What efficient steps our government have taken to prevent this violation of our Neutrality, time will evince. At all events, we are informed preparations are going on, on the part of the Spaniards, to repel any attack, and we have not the least doubt but their enemies will meet with a warm reception. Aurora.
BOSTON, May 1.
VERBAL ACCOUNTS.
by the late arrival at New-York, from Bristol, state— That the POPE had made PEACE with the French Republic, by which he stipulates to pay 30 millions of livres.
That the French armies on the Rhine, were in great force, to commence offensive operations.
That the Spanish fleet were in the Mediterranean with a reinforcement of 7 sail of the line—and that admiral Jervis was also out with a reinforcement of 1 sail of the line.
That Bank of England paper had actually been sold at the bank, by persons willing to quit England, at two and a half per cent discount.
Of Gen. Pinckney.
—EXTRACTED—
Many discordant accounts have been published, and much misrepresentation circulated with regard to the reception which Mr. Pinckney met with from the French government. From the best information that has reached us, we think the following state of the case may be relied on as substantially correct:
Mr. Pinckney went as Minister ordinary to supercede Mr. Monroe. Subsequent to the time of his appointment, the French Republic, through their Minister here reiterated their complaints of the conduct of the United States, and to shew their sense of the insulting silence held by our Executive on the score of the grievances the Minister had complained of, ordering him to suspend his functions here.
Mr. Pinckney had set sail of course without any special powers relative to this critical state of affairs. It was in consequence natural to suppose, and it was predicted, that he would not be received. It was not, in reason, to be expected, that having suspended the functions of their ordinary Minister, they would receive ours.
Mr. Pinckney arrived at Paris, and the French Government refused to acknowledge him. He desired to receive his dismissal in writing. The French answered, that they could not dismiss him, as they had never received him. He then demanded a protection as a Minister; this they refused as they could not acknowledge him in that capacity. They told him, that by applying to the Minister of Police he could obtain a protection like any other foreigner. This he refused to do, probably with warmth, under the impression that his country was slighted; and he was then informed, that if he would not conform to the Police regulations he must abide by the consequences.—Mr. Pinckney then of his own accord left Paris for Amsterdam.
We have not a doubt but that an Envoy Extraordinary would remove every difficulty, and restore the wanted harmony between the sister Republics. In spite of all the efforts of the faction among us to involve this country in a war with France, for the advantage of Britain, and the ruin of America, we feel confident that pacific measures will be pursued.
Conjecture.
We have for some time been told that the Pope was about taking refuge in England, and no doubt he had some serious intentions to commence his journey; but though he always knew that the Devil was in London, yet the late disaster of the BANK has put HIS HOLINESS on reflecting, that it would be impolitic to hazard his Saint Peter's Pence, at the moment the Devil was to pay in England. His sudden peace with Buonaparte is conjectured to be made on those prudent principles. The "Old Whore" by this manoeuvre may be finally brought to her ne plus ultra.
The subject of INTERCOURSE between our country and foreign nations is of primary importance; especially as a view of such intercourse, so far as it respects the mercantile interests of America, will probably soon undergo a renewed investigation before a decision can be adopted on the propriety of risking a total subversion of former contracts with the French, which seems to be the wish of the British party. We have, therefore, extracted the following from the speech of Mr. MADISON, delivered January 24, 1794:
"To give a fuller view of our foreign commerce, Mr. MADISON stated the BALANCES with the several nations of Europe and their dominions as follows:
   Dollars.     Spain, 1,670,797 in favor of U. S.   Portugal, 1,687,629 do.   U. Netherlands, 791,118 do.   Sweden, 32,965 do.   Denmark, 125,949 against the U. S.   France, 2,680,387 in favor of U. S.   Great Britain, 5,928,012 against the U. S.   [Thus does America gain by France,   Spain, Portugal and Sweden, 7,719,790   And suffer a loss by Britain   and Denmark, 6,048,012  
Leaving a balance in our favor of 1,694,688 which sum is supposed to be nearly expended in interest paid foreigners, and expenses of Algerine and British treaties.]
"This enormous balance to Great Britain is on the exports to her. On her consumption, the balance is still Greater, amounting to nine or ten millions; to which again is to be added, her profits on the re-exports in a manufactured and raw state."
A ROBBERY
Was committed on Saturday evening, on the person of Mr. SAMUEL MOORE, whilst passing Charlestown-bridge. The villain, after knocking him down, robbed him of about 2500 dollars in cash, his watch, &c.
Marine Article.
Tuesday, arrived brig Three Friends, M'Condray, Savannah, 25 days. The brig Lydia, Cazneau, from Boston, had arrived there a few days before the Three Friends failed. After making the Island, in 13 days passage, she fell in with two British privateers that made a few enquiries, and then left her; and had every prospect of making a prosperous voyage—when she unfortunately fell in with a piratical ship belonging to Jamaica. Capt. and crew were treated with extreme personal insolence, and one man cut in a dangerous manner with a broad sword. The cargo was rumaged to the keelson—and broad cloths, linens, liquors, provisions, &c. wantonly plundered. After a detention of five days, the privateermen left the brig with orders that she should follow and keep close to them. But in the following night, by fleeing a different course, she escaped those villains, and arrived at the Havannah.

NOTICE is hereby given that the subscriber will exhibit his account of administering the estate of Matthias Haines, late of Greenland, deceased, to the Judge of Probate for his allowance, on the third Wednesday of June next, at 11 o'clock before noon, at the house of John Greenleaf, innholder in Portsmouth, and that he has applied to the Judge of Probate for licence to sell so much of the real estate of said deceased, as will be sufficient to discharge the balance due to him on said account, being about fifty dollars, and that the same will be considered by the said Judge at the time and place aforesaid.
NATHANIEL HAINS, Administrator. Exeter, April 17, 1797.
PUBLIC notice is hereby given that Gilbert Horney and others, heirs to the estate of Joseph Hixon, late of Portsmouth, in the county of Rockingham, deceased, have petitioned the General Court, representing that many years since a letter of licence was granted by the Judge of Probate of said county, to George Hart, the administrator de bonis non of said Hixon, to sell the real estate of said deceased, on the suggestion that there was a deficiency of personal estate to pay the debts—That at that time the said Horney was at sea, but had he been in the country said petitioners could have shown to the satisfaction of the Judge, by the papers and evidencies in said Horney's hands, that the real estate ought not to have been sold, and that said administrator had then in his hands large sums of said estate more than would pay the debts, and which he has appropriated to his own use. That said Horney had no notice of said licence being granted until the usual time of appeal from the sentence of the Judge had elapsed, and the other heirs not knowing the situation of the estate, and the papers and evidence that were in said Horney's hands, neglected to enter an appeal—Wherefore they pray that they may be permitted to make an appeal from the said sentence, or order granting said licence, they giving bond according to law to enter and prosecute the same at the supreme court of probate for said county, with effect—that on a full hearing of the merits before said court, justice may be administered in the premises.
It is therefore ordered that the petitioners be heard before the General Court on the first Tuesday of the next session, and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of court thereon be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause if any they have why the prayer thereof may not be granted. Attest,
NATH'L PARKER, Dep'y Sec'y. Concord, Dec. 6, 1796
State of New-Hampshire. PUBLIC notice is hereby given that the selectmen of Bradford, in the county of Hillsborough, have petitioned the General Court, representing, that the court of Common Pleas in said county, by their committee, laid out a road from Francestown to Sannoppee pond, which passes thro' said Bradford about five miles, mostly through lands owned by non-residents—that their bridges and other roads, notwithstanding their utmost exertions, to keep them in repair are very bad; wherefore they pray that a tax of three cents per acre on all the lands in said town be granted for the sole purpose of making said road, laid out by said committee.
Upon which petition it is ordered that the petitioners be heard before the General Court on the first Tuesday of the next session, and that they cause that the substance of the petition and Order of Court thereon, be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing, that any person or persons may then appear and shew cause (if any they have) why the prayer of said petition may not be granted.
