HAMBURGH, Aug. 1. THE subjects of the king of Prussia begin to experience the want of bread, in common with those of all the European powers.
The Austrian corn, which for some time has been sent from Bohemia to the Elbe in Nether Saxony, and which was thought to be for the Emperor's army in Westphalia, now appears to be bought for the English government, and 1,200 casks of it have been shipped for England.
LONDON, August 24.
Negotiations are carrying on with great activity at Bâle. Rewbel the Deputy is gone thither to assist Barthelemy.
If the Emperor, as it is confidently stated, has made a peace with the French Republic, the accounts for which Ministers will be called to their audit, on the opening of the session, will stand thus:
  By cash paid to the King of Prussia,  £1,200,000    By ditto—to the Emperor,  4,600,000     £5,800,000  
By services in return, 0,000,000 Six millions nearly of the public money have been thus lavishly and wantonly wasted, in opposition to the most sober advice, against the most matured experience. Yet there are still to be found some frontless ruffians who insult the good sense of the people, by stating, that as a War Minister, Mr. Pitt never had his equal!
AUG. 25.
The executive government in France is stimulating the Dutch more than ever to make exertions in fitting out their navy; and according it has sent several shipwrights from Brest, and other ports to the Texel, to forward the preparations. We have reason to believe that some hundreds of French seamen have been sent into Holland towards manning the Dutch fleet.
The French are said to have made themselves masters of Bilboa by treachery; and a Spaniard of some distinction is pointed out as having acted as a guide to the enemy.
Our advices from the banks of the Rhine state, that the troops which had been detached from the army of the North, and that of the Sambre and Meuse, from Brittany, have received a counter order, and are now marching to join the armies to which they belong.
Our troops are so anxious to cross the river, that they employ every possible expedient to this effect. They had formed a plan to effect a debarkation in the environs of Wesel, for which purpose they had conveyed troops in 40 boats to the right bank, opposite that fortress. The commandant of the place, however, having given him to understand that his instructions would not allow him to suffer their landing on the Prussian territory, the men embarked in the boats were obliged to return to the point from which they set out.
The price of bread has fallen very considerably in all the Northern countries, and particularly in the town of Sheffield, Leeds, Wakefield, &c. where the markets are now plentifully supplied with the best wheat flour, at 2s. 6d. the stone of 14lb. and some as low as 2s. The prospect of the ensuing harvest in all parts of the kingdom is extremely encouraging, and the damage supposed to have been done to the wheat by the fly, in some places, is much less considerably than was apprehended.
The keel of a new three-decker is ordered to be laid in Plymouth yard. She will be called either the Caledonia, or the Edinburgh Castle.
Two more ships of the line are ordered to be immediately fitted and victualled for twelve months; supposed to be for the East-Indies.
A quantity of artillery and ordnance stores are now shipping at Woolwich, Warren and Tower wharf, which are to go out with the earliest convoy to the West-Indies.
The KING of PRUSSIA
is using all his influence to obtain the cession from the French of their conquests between the Meuse and Rhine; but it is said that M. Barthelemew is armed with full powers to insist upon the Rhine remaining the future boundary of France.
The liberty of the Press in France is of a very curious description. The writers may publish what they please, but if it should happen to be any thing that reflects on the operations of government, they must atone with their heads, for the slips of the pen.
The Belliqueux man of war having failed to join admiral Ducaen's squadron in the North seas, admiral Peyton has again shifted his flag to the Peterel.
Nothing is precisely known respecting the new debarkation effected near the Sables d'Olonne. Some say that M. d'Artois is at the head of the descent.
A compromise, it is said, is about to be effected between the whig and tory parties in Ireland, through the mediation of Mr. Pelham, by which a broad-bottomed administration, and
a compliant parliament, are to be established—How far the wretched state of the great body of the people of that country is likely to be improved, we cannot at present pretend to answer.
Admiral lord Bridport, is coming home, in consequence of which the chief command on the French station will devolve on vice admiral Cornwallis.
The DUTCH FLEET.
It is supposed that the destination of the Dutch fleet was for the port of Flushing, when it failed from the Texel. At Flushing, several men of war are ready for sea, which will make the Dutch fleet of considerable force, should it put to sea again. It is supposed that its object is to make the port of Brest if possible, though such an attempt must be very hazardous. The utility of having so many Russian ships under the command of our admiralty board is now apparent, and proves to be highly important to our political interests.
HAGUE, Aug. 1.
The ratification of the resolution of taking 25,000 French troops into our service is concluded. The three guard regiments have mostly deserted, and the current report is, that a disaffected army is collecting upon the borders of Westphalia. In Brussels all public processions in the streets are forbidden. It is said that 200 persons return weekly, who had before emigrated from thence. The calling of the national convention will not take place before the first of September.

We are informed, from good authority, that the following are the heads of the treaty of peace, lately concluded at Greenville, between the United States, and the hostile Indian Nations.

All lands heretofore ceded to the French and English, in the Illinois county, the Wabash, Clark's Grant, and the Fort Massac. All rivers and roads to be free to each party. Indians not to sell lands but to the United States. Twenty thousand dollars in goods, paid down (to the Indians) and 9000 dollars per annum.
SPRINGFIELD, Sept. 29.
Extract of a letter from an officer in the western army, to his friend at Northampton, dated Head Quarters, Greenville, Aug. 7.
"A peace is concluded with the Indians, and I believe, the best that has ever been made. I think they will go away better satisfied than they have at any former treaty. It was signed the 3d inst. They are this day receiving their presents. It has been a pleasing scene to me. I have been a witness to parents receiving their children, who have been absent for 15 or 16 years, and had grown to an adult state, but could not speak one word of English—likewise some of the Indians who had been with our people, and totally lost their mother tongue. Husbands meeting their wives and wives their husbands on both sides. The other day a beautiful girl came in who was married to an Indian; her father was here in quest of her—she had been gone about 12 years, and was 7 years old when she was taken—her father despairing of having her restored to him again—she appears quite afraid of him.
"One respectable old man from Kentucky,
had two sons, whom he met here, the oldest could speak a little English, and remembered the time of his capture. The father took them both home; they stayed with him but a few days, then stole two of his best horses and left him. I believe white savages are harder to be civilized than Indians."

Orange, Oct. 12, 1795.
State of New-Hampshire.
NOTICE is hereby given that a petition was preferred to the General Court, convened at Concord on the 16th day of January 1794, by John Hale, Esquire, and others, setting forth that the connection of the seaport towns in this State, with the internal part of the country might be made more convenient, by a direct highway from Concord to Portsmouth, than it now is between the country and any part of the seacoast in any other State; that the sum required for this purpose would be raised with the greatest difficulty from the several towns, but could probably be easily effected by an incorporation, who might indemnify themselves by a toll. Wherefore they pray that they may be incorporated under such limitations as the Court shall see fit, to make and keep in repair a turnpike road in the shortest direction from Concord to Piscataqua-bridge, and with such tolls as may be thought proper.
Whereupon it is ordered that the petitioners be heard before the General Court on the second Tuesday of the next session, to be held at Concord on the first Wednesday of December 1795, 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 of said petition may not be granted.
Attest, NATHANIEL PARKER, Dep'y Sec'y. Hanover, June 16th, 1796.

BOSTON, Oct. 22.
Extract of a letter from a respectable merchant in London, dated Aug. 18.
"I wrote you last, by the Ocean, since which we have received authentic copies of the treaty of commerce, &c. between our country and this. Many of the Americans here bawl loudly against it, and say that the maker is a d-d aristocrat, and an enemy to his country; and from what I can learn, it is not a popular thing any where on our continent: even the Bostonians, who were the great admirers of that party, begin to think there is a want of pure patriotism (or the spirit of patriotism) in some of the leading characters. I am daily witness of one of the blessed effects of this treaty of amity. It is stipulated, that if the British please to consider grain and some articles contraband, (which are not generally esteemed so) they shall have the right of bringing in our ships loaded therewith, and take the property themselves, allowing the owner a fair mercantile profit on the cost. You may judge how well pleased the people are. The British government takes his produce, sell it for 100, 200, and 300 per cent. profit (which many cargoes have fetched) and pay the Americans a pitiful ten per cent. which will not pay the commissions and interest of the money. I think this the worst article in the whole treaty; it puts it in the power of the British merchant to pocket the profits of all our commerce."
"You will before this learn, that peace is concluded between Spain and our dear French Republic. This country is much displeased at it, and ministers talk as absurdly as ever of going to war with Spain to keep up the balance of power in Europe; but I believe they dare not go any further than talk—at present."
"I enclose you a copy of a paper that has been handed about to the soldiers of this country; what effect it has had I do not know. A friend of mine handed it me in print, but could not procure but one copy."
"I know not what to think of the cause of reform (as it is called) in this country: a large multitude of oppressed poor are struggling for liberty on one side; on the other, is all the wealth, most of the abilities, and the standing army of the nation which amounts to two hundred thousand men, besides companies of volunteer horse and foot from one end of the kingdom to the other. If it is ever decided by force, which of these powers will be sovereign, that is an aristocratic faction, with a fool at their head, or the people? The conflict will be long, violent and bloody."
On Monday last citizen Latomb Consul General from France to the United States, arrived in this town, from Philadelphia.
From PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 15.
Yesterday arrived the ship Thomas Chalkley, Capt. Rice, in 42 days from Rotterdam, having left this place on the 1st ult. and brings intelligence, that 6 sail of men of war, with several frigates, sailed from Helvoet, and joined a Squadron in the Texel forming in the whole 16 sail of the line with frigates—and that previous to her leaving Rotterdam accounts were received of the Russian fleet, and a British Squadron being in junction off the mouth of the Texel, waiting for the Dutch fleet.
DIED,
At Brightelmstone, in England, Peter Livius, Esq. late Chief Justice of Canada, and formerly of Portsmouth, New-Hampshire.
Dissolution of British Parliament.
A report is in circulation, that the King of England, had, by proclamation, dissolved his Parliament, and called a new one. We cannot trace the report to its source; but we are far from thinking such an event impossible. The present Parliament has been more than five years in existence—the numerous petitions to them, demonstrate that they do not represent the feelings of the nation.—A dissolution of it is therefore necessary, preparatory to Peace.—As a circumstance indicative of the probability of the report we mention, that we have seen advertisements in the London papers, from Members of Parliament, thanking the Constituents for their past support, and soliciting their further suffrages, "should a dissolution of the Parliament take place."
It has been said, in some of the papers, that the duties of impost have been raised six fold in France. The fact is, the National Convention has never, until lately, admitted a legal depreciation of their assignats; but have at length found it necessary, from that depreciation, to raise the duties of impost, payable in assignats to six times their former nominal sum.—Notwithstanding this rise the importer, by paying the duties in assignats, saves near 60 per cent.
CIRCUIT COURT.
Last Friday, came on the argument of the cause of the ship Mary Ford, before the Hon. Judge Cushing. It was an appeal from the District Court. The facts were, that the Mary Ford, was a British vessel, bound on a voyage from one of the English islands, to London, was captured on the high seas by one of a French Squadron of five ships, taken possession of, brought into the fleet, and failed as a prize in company, about 30 hours, and then by order of the commander of the Squadron, the French crew were taken out, and the ship attempted to be set fire to; the attempt failing, the ship remained a wreck for several days, until she was found and taken up by the crew of an American ship, and brought into the port of Boston. The salvors libelled her; the British Consul claimed her for the original British owners paying salvage; and the French Consul also claim-
ed her, paying salvage, as the property of the French Republic, by the rights of war. The District Judge has given a handsome salvage to the Americans, and decreed that the remainder should go to the use of the British owners. There was no appeal as to the salvage allowed to the Americans; but the French Consul claimed an appeal as to the residue. Mr. Morton and Mr. Sullivan, were of Counsel for the French claim, and Mr. Gore and Mr. Dane, for the British claim. After a full hearing of the parties, from Friday morning, until Saturday noon;—the cause was adjourned until Monday, for the Court's opinion; when, the Circuit Judge, reversed the decree of the District Judge, and gave the residue of the wreck to the French Republic, as the last legal possessors.
The Counsel for the British claim, we hear, intend carrying the cause before the Supreme Court of the United States, by writ of error.
It is asserted as fact, that a Spanish detachment have fortified themselves at the mouth of the Ohio, within the jurisdiction of the United States; and that it is expected that the legislature of our Western territory will shortly be called together; as the Spaniards have excited some alarm in that quarter.
From MARTINIQUE.
Capt. Easterbrooks, arrived yesterday, from Martinique informs that 2,400 troops arrived there from England the 23d Sept.
CORROBORATIVE.
Capt. Cook, arrived here yesterday, from Antigua, informs, that the day before he failed from thence (Oct. 1) the mail arrived there from Martinique, bringing intelligence of the arrival there of 3,500 troops from England and more was hourly expected—the object of which, was reported to be, to attack the French in that quarter—it was generally thought, however, that they would not risk a battle. Antigua very quiet.
ST. LUCIA.
Capt. Cook from Antigua, also informs, that about the 19th Sept. owing to a violent storm, and being apprehensive of no attack whatever from the French, the English stationed at St. Lucia, called in their out-posts, &c. The French, taking advantage of the "war of elements" crossed over from Guadalupe, took the fort at St. Lucia by storm, and put great numbers of the English officers and soldiers to the sword.
From GONAIVES, Sept. 11.
We learn—that Vernet, a post on the river Artibonette, of considerable consequence, was taken after a battle of two days by Gen. Toussan; the troops had returned to Gonaives; and the sickness had a little abated.
Monday last, being the surrender of Cornwallis, at Yorktown, the Independent Cadets, and Independent Fusiliers, paraded, in honor of the day—Several truly federal and spirited toasts closed each entertainment.
The whole loss of men which France has sustained since the year 1791, is calculated at twelve hundred thousand.
The New-York epidemic, continues its ravages—9 persons died therewith on Wednesday, and 14 on Thursday last.
COMMERCIAL.
Extract of a letter from Robert W. Fox, Consul of the United States, at Falmouth, (Eng.) dated August 3, 1795.
"Not one of the American seamen has been impressed at this port for a considerable time past, and much attention is paid to their protections."
"Some vessels have arrived here loaded in the United States for France, having delivered the whole or part of their cargoes to Sir J. B. Warren, or his order, having been detained by his orders. He has directly paid them to their satisfaction, and they speak in high terms of the civility and attention of Sir John to them whilst detained. Indeed, on other occasions, I have experienced from him much politeness and readiness in returning American seamen who had been impressed."
Extract of a letter from Liverpool, (Eng.) dated August 25, 1795.
"Wheat has been here as high as 24 s. per cwt. but it is now reduced 50 per cent. Speculators had monopolized the article, which was the principal reason of its scarcity—Since the certainty of a fine harvest, fearful of entirely losing their property they have opened their store-houses, and abundance is every day at market."
Extract of a letter from Bourdeaux, dated September 3.
"Every kind of subsistence is very plenty, and living is cheaper in all parts of France, than in Philadelphia, excepting at Havre and Nantz, the former of which is blocked up by the English fleet."
The following is an extract from a letter dated Paris, August 23d, and was received by the Africa, Capt. Dodge, arrived at New-York.
"The Treaty as adopted has arrived here—the French have hitherto spared any censures on it which is rather more than I expected, especially as—and his creatures here, are continually execrating that and every act of our administration—this I esteem a very unhappy and I have no doubt would have proved an unfortunate circumstance if the reign of Terrorism had continued, but thank God, those pitiful ef-
forts of Jacobinism are rather misplaced in France at present."
The reader will please to observe, that the foregoing is copied by the Editor from the original letter. [Philad. pap.]

From BALTIMORE, Oct. 10.
Extract of a letter from a merchant in Nantz, dated August 3, to his correspondent in this town.
"The frigate Experiment sent last year on a private expedition, with four corvettes, is returned at Rochefort. They have burnt on the African coast 75 English vessels; set at liberty 16,000 slaves; made a great many prisoners, and have brought home a very rich booty. The British merchants will have thanks to vote to their ministry, on the occasion: and on the same address they can mention the victories at Quiberon."
Our accounts from New-York, by Saturdays Mail, are that the fever there is abating, and the number of deaths decreasing.
From NEW-YORK, Oct. 19.
Yesterday arrived at this port the ship Congress, Captain Thomas Reed, in 60 days from Amsterdam. Had two of his hands (Americans) stolen from on board in the channel by the English, which so distressed him, in a heavy ship, that he was obliged to perform foremast duty during the whole voyage himself. Brings printed accounts only to August 8.
Capt. Reed was detained two days at the Texel, by an Embargo which was laid on all vessels previous to the sailing of the Dutch fleet, which lay northwesterly from the Texel, about 6 leagues, when he failed. Aug. 18. Off Dogger Bank he saw the Russian fleet, about 20 sail; next day saw the British fleet, at anchor in the Downs.
From PORTLAND, Oct. 22.
British Insults.
Capt. Noyes lately arrived at Falmouth from a fishing voyage, informs—"that he was boarded by a British frigate, to the eastward, and had one of his men (the son of the Rev. W. Williams of Falmouth) taken on board the frigate by force"—a large number of fishermen were in sight—Capt. Noyes supposes they all lost as much as one or two hands each, pressed on board the Frigate.
Arrived at Philadelphia the pilot boat Recovery, Capt. Oswald, in 8 days from Bermuda, whither she was dispatched about three weeks ago by several merchants of this city, for the recovery of American property carried in there by the British cruisers, which, however, could not be effected. In the case of the ship Two-Friends, after the condemnation of the cargo, and acquittal of the vessel and freight, the captors put in an appeal, and the security of Messrs. Peters was refused.
The day before the sailing of the pilot boat a frigate arrived from England, which governor Crawford informed Capt. Oswald brought out instructions for taking all vessels bound to, or returning from French ports.
From BERMUDA, Sept. 29.
The Thetis frigate, Capt. Cockrane has lately taken off Carolina, where she was on a cruise, the privateer Schooner La Sophie, of 16 guns and 10 men; also the Schooner Le Vengeur de Rilk de Tont of 10 guns and 45 men, both out of Charleston, and sent them into New Providence; she has also taken the ship Druid, (of London) from Jamaica, in ballast, bound to Charleston, and sent her in here; this last vessel, it is said, was run away with from Martha Brae. She was first taken on her outward bound passage to Halifax, and sent into Port au Pair; she was then taken on her passage from thence by the Iphigenia and sent into Jamaica.
Two new Bermuda built sloops of war are put into commission here by Admiral Murray, and will soon be ready for sea, viz. the Spencer, A. F. Evans, Esq. and the Bermuda, Thomas Hurd, Esq. Commanders; the Spencer is one of the first sloops ever built, and carries 18 guns. Two other sloops of war are now building for his Majesty's navy, on a fast sailing construction; one by the celebrated builders Messrs. Claude M'Callen and John Outerbridge; the other by Mr. Nathaniel Tynes, sen.

MR. MELCHER.
WE turn with pleasure from the fretful malignity of a citizen of Portsmouth, to the handsome defence of a Republican. We would not much value being beat by a Republican, as at least we should be worried by a gentleman. We feel so much of an inclination to agree entirely with him, that we will endeavour to point out the particulars, in which Bradshaw and a Republican have already agreed; so that if any further dispute occurs, the ground may not only be narrowed as much as possible; but, if it is not consequential, that it may not be insisted upon.
We shall take it for granted, a Republican agrees with us, when he has not asserted a difference of sentiment. On this footing, it is agreed, that the town-meeting was not legally called; that the paper called the "Crisis" tended to excite without reflection the passions of the people; that such a measure was unjustifiable; that the people believed the contents of the Crisis to be true; that the treaty was not discussed at the meeting; that it was not read, nor even one particular pointed out, where it would be injurious to our country. Further it is not insisted upon by a Republican, that the means before alleged to have been made use of in getting signers to the address, to wit, of "promising British credit" and of threatening to dismiss mechanics from employ, were actually employed. He does not insist that the address was an insult to the town. He agrees too with us, that according to a Citizen, the windows were broke, &c. at the instigation of the "aristocratic party;" and that they were not broke at the instigation of that party. When we agree in so many points, it seems hardly worth while to differ about the rest, we will endeavour however to settle them.
That it may appear, the abstract differed materially from the treaty, by something besides the ipse dixit of Bradshaw: we would inform a Republican, that an article which has occasioned as much prejudice in the country, as any one supposed to be in the treaty, was probably condemned solely from reading the abstract or "substance," as it is called, without attending to the treaty itself. The 9th article in the abstract says, "the subjects and citizens of the contracting parties shall hold real estate in each others territory with the same advantages, as the citizens of the respective States." This evidently gives every subject of Britain, a right to hold real estate in America, as fully as any citizen of the United States. The treaty is totally different. It only says, those who now hold real estates, may transmit them to alien heirs, fell or continue to hold. That is, those rights vested in certain individual British subjects at the time of the treaty may continue vested, be sold or conveyed to alien heirs. Now we are upon the abstract, we would mention a circumstance to shew, that that alone was commonly read at the time of the late town-meeting. If a Republican will look into the essays published just afterwards, as into Benevolus in the Gazette of July 21st, and Observer in the Oracle of July 18th, we think he will be convinced, that those two writers could have read only the abstract. If their writings confined their attention to the abstract, the fair presumption is, a great part of those who did not write, looked no farther.
The charge made by a Republican of "wilful ignorance or wanton sporting with truth," must rest upon the shoulders of a Republican or Bradshaw: unless some in pity would choose, the charge should lie upon a defect of understanding in either. Bradshaw intimated, that a Citizen, in two of the three, features of the late treaty, he had pointed out, had hit upon those not referred to, in the reasons given by the town for their dissent. A Republican refers to the 1st, 4th and 5th reasons as shewing the contrary. Yet we will think ourselves warranted in the intimation, that the reasons do not say, that the treaty avows principles opposed to the French revolution; or that it burdens us with debts, which as a nation we are under no obligation to discharge. The first reason is—"because that part of the treaty of 1783 securing the payment of debts due to British subjects is rigorously enforced, while an important article in the same treaty requiring compensation for negroes and other property unjustly removed, is placed wholly out of view." This reason says, that the payment of British debts is rigorously enforced pursuant to a former treaty; but certainly says nothing of our being burdened with debts by the last treaty, which as a nation we were under no obligation to discharge. The 4th and 5th reasons say nothing about debts whatever. The 4th reason is—"because the regulations of trade, commerce and navigation between the two parties contained in the 3d, 13th, 15th and 17th articles hold out the most decided advantages to British subjects, and must in their operation prove destructive to American commerce and navigation." It will hardly be accounted quibbling to say, that this 4th reason has no relation to the French revolution; as the articles are objected to, solely because they, in the regulations of trade between the two parties, to wit, Great Britain and America, hold out advantages to British subjects, and must prove destructive to American commerce and navigation. The 5th reason is—"because by the 18th article, many articles of export are admitted as contraband of war, which by our treaties with France, Holland and Sweden are declared free, by which means a disposition to aid the British in the destruction of the navies of those nations is fairly implied." In our explanation of this reason a Republican will accuse us of quibbling. The public we expect will determine differently. This reason has no more relation to France, than it has to Holland or Sweden. If it says, the treaty avows principles opposed to the French revolution: It equally says it avows principles opposed to the Swedish monarchy. And the amount of the reason then must be; that the treaty avows principles opposed to a republic and to a monarchy. Further according to this 5th reason, if it says anything about the subject, the treaty is not only opposed to, but in addition to that, is very much in favour of, the principles of the French revolution. As it was intended to destroy the navy of the Dutch, who at the time of signing it were at war with the French. The expression respecting Jay's bribery made use of in the meeting, we were informed, was nearly this—some suppose that Jay received such a sum, naming it, for my part said the speaker, I believe it was much more—If we were misinformed respecting this, we are happy the vile insinuations about bribery in the "Crisis" did not find their way into the meeting.
The reasons given by the committee, against the treaty were evidently done in a hurry. Facts were not then sufficiently known, or the committee would not have laid any thing about "other property unjustly removed" in their first reason. There never has been, we believe, the least pretence about any other American property being unjustly removed, by the British after the treaty of 1783, besides negroes. And it never has been ascertained, that any negroes, which were American property after the same treaty, were carried off by the British. The 2d reason seems to be founded upon the abstract, and not upon the treaty: as the 9th article of the treaty confers no privilege on British subjects generally. The 3d reason cannot be justified even by extreme hurry, and gives an odd cast to all the others. The 5th reason looks strangely, as it seems to imply that Great Britain would wish, in the heat of a most violent war, which required all her resources, to destroy the navy of her most effective ally at sea, the Dutch.
We still say the reason given by Bradshaw, why the address was not sooner signed, is the true one. One motive for signing it at so late a day is not found fault with, even by a Republican; we presume therefore, it is a good one—this is it—that the President would find from the address, that some in Portsmouth approved of the treaty. We still think the great body of the people in New-Hampshire are in favour of peace, of the treaty as securing it, and of relying on the constitutional powers. This is a matter of opinion. Those who have had most opportunities of conversing with gentlemen of information from different parts of the State; and of observing the temper of the different papers printed in the State, we think, will join us in opinion. More than nine tenths of those we have conversed with, and of those parts of the State we have received information of, from persons we supposed we could confide in, come within the foregoing description.
Had a Republican written his essay with the express purpose of bringing into contempt, town-meetings called to consider of questions relating to the administration of government: his observation, that the town-meeting, approving of the President's proclamation for neutrality, was "an absurd business" might have been expected. It was not only absurd according to him, but ridiculous. This absurd and ridiculous business was not confined to Portsmouth, Salem, Boston, Trenton, the chamber of commerce of New-York, the merchants and traders of Baltimore, and, we believe, many other towns or bodies of men, as well as Portsmouth, were guilty of the same absurdity. Town-meetings are only right, it seems, they are even ridiculous, when they are not of my opponent's side. But does a Republican mean by this absurdity and ridiculousness? Is it, that the President's proclamation was absurd, or that a town-meeting on the occasion was ridiculous? If peace in their opinion is an absurdity, if a town-meeting approving of it is ridiculous. They may retain their opinion without disturbance from us.
A Republican cannot discover the inconsistency of a citizen's rejoicing, that an attempt failed, which, had it succeeded, would have discovered a nobleness of spirit; he seems to be afraid there is an impropriety in it. Bradshaw did not with a Republican to descend to answer the puerilities respecting Mr. Langdon. We never conceived he had any thing to do in the business. We never supposed, even if he was affronted or mortified, that it was an insult to the town. We hope a Republican in his observations on old tories does not injure the feelings of some prominent gentlemen of his party. A Republican appears to misunderstand Bradshaw in one expression, speaking of a citizen we say—"yet he was acquainted with their intentions previous to the break window business." It was not intended to insinuate or assert, that a citizen was acquainted with the break window business, to continue our homely expression, previous to its happening: but only that he was acquainted with their intentions respecting the transactions which happened previous to the breaking windows. And would a person positively assert, that he was acquainted with the intentions of a number of men, "from the opinion he had of those who were filled the leaders." If he did from this circumstance make the assertion as a fact, when it was only his opinion; and when according to his friend a Republican, he knew the leaders only by their being stiled so. We acknowledge he does not exactly suit the quibbling Bradshaw.
It is impossible, my friend Republican, for a citizen to be awake, without being in such a continual fret as he was, when he made his last effort.
We did not offer our "challenge" as a Republican is pleased to call it, to discuss the treaty; as implying any idea or conceit of superiority. But convinced as we are, that, excepting in those points of the law of nations, which it would have been ridiculous to have asked Great-Britain to concede, in the midst of a war almost unparellelled for exertion on all sides, the treaty is advantageous to our country; and that no nation, with whom we are in alliance, can complain of it, as infringing their rights by treaty: observing further, that no defence of the treaty had appeared in the Portsmouth papers, excepting "Candid remarks" and the "Federalist," and not the whole we believe of the last. And further supposing it required no large share of ability, to point out those circumstances: we were willing for a discussion. If it is declined on the other side, as a Republican insinuates, because the issue would be favourable to him, we shall not press them very closely for an answer.
BRADSHAW.
PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 27.
Extract of a letter from an American in England to his friend in this town, dated Aug. 30th, 1795, who was bound to France, but was taken by the British and carried to England.
"I have been here since the 24th and as yet do not know the result of my destiny, I feel myself surprised to read a treaty so partial, signed by one of our countrymen, with this country, who have ever sought to injure us, yet when observed here that the American Ambassador no doubt came a good republican, but left here as good a courtier as any among them, 'tis the less to be wondered at, yet it ought to be remembered the treaty was made where our Ambassador was surrounded with flatterers, and might have done better in a country where the people had no interest therein, had they met in such a place; yet I am much surprised to find the eighteenth article so unfavorable to a weak power at any time, and so very favorable to this country, while at actual war with our allies, that they should have it in their power to take vessels when laden with provisions, if bound to the ports of their enemies, pay for their cargo, and allow a reasonable mercantile profit therefor, and this profit they are to determine themselves; you see the iniquity thereof by their present actions, taking our cargoes, paying a small freight and great primage, as a sweetener to the Captains, and advancing 10 pr. cent to their invoice of net cost, while two charges against the merchant amount to that, viz. insurance 5 per cent and the Captain's commission 5 more; while they bear all these grievances, difference of markets between their ports of destiny and here, loss of freight (they having no idea of an American ship in time of peace being worth more than theirs, while at war) the voyage frustrated, vessel sent home in ballast, all expenses incurred on shipping cargo lost, no allowance to the merchant for doing his business at home, or for the use of his money. Can all these grievances long be born without adequate redress? Our legislators and directors we look up to you, the laws of our country will not protect our trade, 'tis unnecessary to have them, 'tis better that we be subjects elsewhere, if our property is not better secured."
Extract from another letter, dated Sep. 1st, 1795. "I cannot form any opinion when I shall get away, yet may the time be longer or shorter, I think it will not be while there is any picking left, by the friends to this country; in former precedents of this kind it has been advocated that justice cannot be had in the colonies, but always can here. Can we expect to meet justice and humanity in Algiers, unless these their allies will permit them to shew it us? A letter from an American in France to another in London, says, sent me the heads of the treaty intended between England and the United States, which I desire much to see; for a suspension of payment of debts due to America, from here is talked of, until they know the result of the treaty."
