Holland Company LANDS,
ADVANTAGEOUSLY situated upon the navigable waters of Allegany, River and French Creek, affording an interesting variety of arable and meadow grounds, and capable of easy improvement and cultivation, are now offered for sale, and settlement.  All the advantages of soil, climate and situation, are here combined in a most extraordinary manner. The Lands are rich, fertile and finely watered. The air, like all the country beyond the Allegany Mountains, is mild, pure and healthy; and the Rivers open a communication with all parts of the continent. No tract of country within the United States, is more materially benefitted, by the commercial advantages arising from the free navigation of the Northern Lakes, and Southern waters. A large proportion of the wealth and merchandise of enterprising adventurers from the Eastern and Atlantic States, will, from motives of interest and convenience, in a very few years, pass through this delightful country, to all the western world.—This, added to the natural productions, will supply the inhabitants at a very reasonable price, with every thing necessary for their health and happiness.
To those who are determined to settle in the country, and wish to make purchases, a liberal credit will be given, upon easy and advantageous terms. To those who are desirous of holding under improving leases, generous supplies of provisions and farming utensils, or gratuitous grants of lands and privileges will be given; and good wages and beneficial offers are made to sober, honest, and industrious mechanics and labourers. A rich and thriving settlement, affording many accommodations and advantages, and consisting of above thirty families, is fixed in the centre of this country, upon the property of David Mead, Esq. where all the necessaries and many of the conveniences for living may be procured at a reasonable price.  A saw-mill is already erected—a grist-mill will be established in the course of this season. A great plenty of grass and hay can be easily procured with no other expense than cutting and curing, upon the large and extensive meadows bordering upon French creek—All those, who are desirous of knowing the truth of these facts, or wish to become interested by purchase of settlement, may receive further information by applying to Mr. Charles Cazeneuve at New Geneva in Fayette County; to Messrs. Denny and Beelen at Pittsburgh; to Alexander Mc Dowell, Esq. at Franklin; or at Cussewaga, in Mr. Mead's settlement about 240 miles from Lake Erie, or
R. ALDEN. N. B. The printers of the Worcester, Northampton, Exeter, Dartmouth, and Portsmouth papers, are desired to insert the above for 6 weeks, and the expense will be paid at the Centinel Office. [6w.] Philadelphia, May 14, 1796.

MISCELLANY.
[The Revolution, which now draws to a conclusion, in France, has, in its progress, displayed to the world, a resplendency of Eloquence, which that Science was scarcely imagined to possess. The pen of the ingenious Translator, has traced, for the admiration of the American World, many of the sublime Discourses, which have been pronounced at epochs in the course of Gallic Regeneration; but many, very many are yet contained in the bosom of their original language and receive but local, tho' they deserve universal panegyric. We lament that our country has not the extensively delicious treat which all the Speeches of the Orators of France would afford; and feel happy in adding another dish to the already gratifying entertainment.]
TRANSLATED FOR THE MERCURY.
SPEECH OF TREILHARD, President of the Council of Five Hundred. Preliminary to the Oath of "ETERNAL HATRED TO ROYALTY."
IT was on this day—the moment in which I speak—that the Tyrant suffered the punishment due to his crimes! It was, indeed, a great object of justice, to have struck the criminal; but it would have proved of small importance to the nation, if, from the same stroke, Royalty had not been annihilated.
So many misfortunes—so much blood—so many crimes—are not expiated by the death of a man; and this great revolution, of which the universe does not yet present an example, ought to raise upon the bloody ruins of the throne, the immortal edifice of a pure & unblemished Republic. But as of the first efforts of a nation to re-assume its rights were always a signal of alarm to the despots of the earth, the will of Frenchmen was scarcely known, and already monstrous alliances, destructive treaties, had prepared the slavery of patriots! Already the Tyrant of the Ocean, projected to slave us; and the ambitious House of Austria, whilst threatening our frontiers, disposed, by anticipation, of our spoils; as if a nation, who contemplated to erect itself into a democracy, was necessary to disappear from the surface of the globe. What resistance, it was asked, had we to oppose to warlike phalanxes—to officers grown old in the art of war? Should we oppose to them young soldiers—Generals, whose despotism had stifled talents in obscure employments—a nation, in fact, torn by a thousand intestine factions? Be encouraged, enemies of tyranny, those young soldiers are the soldiers of liberty; those generals, who were thought inexperienced, are warm with courage, animated with patriotism; that nation, torn by faction, is the French nation, who cannot, in vain, have sworn to establish a Republic. In an instant, every citizen becomes a soldier; every battalion becomes a phalanx; the thunder quits the entrails of the earth; and if treason at first deceives our hopes, soon an almost perpetual series of successes and triumphs, carry amongst our enemies that terror and dejection which Republicans never know. These honorable spoils, however; these glorious trophies, the fruits of our victories, are stained with Republican blood: There are but few families who do not demand of the tyrant, a father, a husband, a son; their death is the crime of tyranny: Shades of our brethren, receive our oaths.—Hatred, eternal hatred to the Royalty of which you were the victims.
But the loss of the Republicans, whose blood has moistened the fields of glory, is not the most odious of the crimes of the tyrant: The rights of nations violated—all the bonds of humanity broken—the first principles of natural right forgotten—anarchy, robbery, assassination, organized; this is the work of a despot; these the fruits of Royalty.
Doublets, long abuses, inveterate evils, are not destroyed without great shocks. So many contending interests; so many suppressed passions, produce emotions sometimes convulsive; and an absolute regeneration cannot be effected without some confusion. It was in these particular misfortunes that the friends of Kings placed all their hopes: To provoke disorder—to increase it—to maintain it; such was the object of their fatal policy; To mislead opinion—to corrupt public morality—to confound all ideas—to favor, to prepare excesses of every kind; such was the object of their perfidious combinations; They wished to render frightful the effects of the revolution: to extinguish, if possible, the love of nations for freedom.
From every part of the world were collected the agents of tyranny, or rather every thing which the dregs of nations could present the most corrupt: It was through these impure channels that the tyrant concerted with our enemies, his plots, his machinations, his speeches, and even his silence. Perfidious men! with what profound hypocrisy did they deceive simple, credulous minds! and, whilst they sported with the candor and integrity of Republicans, with what splendor did they preach up the idolatry of that Liberty they detested, and the horror of that Despotism which they served with so much meanness. In order more completely to deceive us, they had the address to deck themselves with the honors of persecution: Even the sacrileges, commanded by patriotism, were not foreign to them; and the same hand which covered them with an apparent proscription, in a country they feigned to have abjured, secretly lavished upon them, in France, the gold destined to pension crime and to corrupt weakness. You well know, such was the fatal success of these strangers, as suddenly upon almost every point of the Republic, they have appeared to many torches, which Providence had drawn from its treasures to enlighten our progress.
Every thing was soon inverted by their impostures: The virtuous man was only a weak man; the man of intelligence only a dangerous man: fortune was a crime against equality; philosophy an attempt against patriotism. It was thus that placing all interests in opposition, sharpening every passion, they were enabled to form those fatal lists of proscriptions, in which were found included whole classes of citizens.
O, disastrous days! days of mourning and blood, organized by despotism! may you ever be present to the memory of nations who may contend for their freedom, as a useful and salutary lesson, capable of preserving them against the terrible storms which have long agitated us. Such was, however, the perfidy of our enemies, that those fame excelses; those horrors they had themselves provoked, they still exaggerated, to paint them afterwards in the most frightful colors; they presented them to foreign nations, as a natural fruit of the revolution; and more fully to convince them of the necessity of these cruel consequences, they announced, (sometimes by anticipation) the shocks which they had themselves arranged, and which they paid with the gold of nations whom they had wished to deceive. Thus you behold the progress of tyranny; it is with this cruel address, it is cautious to cover events with an impenetrable, a mourning crape, and it is thus it affects to change, to corrupt every thing: What do I say; even that very hatred which we vow to Royalty; that hatred which has become part of our existence; that lively, so profound sentiment, which we can no longer restrain. Ah, well! Royalty will misrepresent it, in order still to calumniate it. It is about to announce it as a declaration of war against all nations who do not live under a Republic; and those reproaches, already so often repeated, that we will to destroy every other government, the friends of Kings are about to reproduce with a new affection.
Frenchmen! you who have so long contended for your independence, could you then have conceived the tyrannical plan of attacking the independence of other nations? And we who have so solemnly proclaimed the declaration of the rights of man, could we then have recognized those rights, only hereafter indecently to violate the rights of nations? Yes, doublets, and terrible to its enemies, the French Republic will not cease to prepare for them death and destruction; because they have themselves wished for the death of our freedom and the destruction of our independence. Already have they learnt what the enthusiasm of Liberty can effect; their flying, scattered phalanxes; their strong holds, fallen under our efforts; our past triumphs; their daily defeats; every thing announces to them, that "A People cannot be enslaved, who are determined to be free." Every thing informs them, that if they persist in their ambitious plans, they must themselves soon serve as a lesson and example to all governments, who may yet be hardy enough to meditate a violation of the independence of nations. But it is against its enemies alone, that the French Republic displays its forces and its energy; and it will ever be with regret that it finds itself under the fatal necessity of displaying them. The nations who may cease to combat our rights, will instantly recover with us, all the sweets of fraternity. Ah! do we not know that war is almost ever the crime of an individual, and that its cruel consequences, however, involve the misfortunes of all. No; it is not a nation friendly to equality, that can aim a blow at the rights of other nations; Independence of Governments; Liberty of the Ocean: This is our desire, our object, our wishes. Those deplorable periods are no more, in which vile hypocrites, deceitful conspirators, secret agents of royalty, preparing interior troubles, by their detestable intrigues, still endeavored, by their extravagant doctrine, to coalesce against us all the nations of the earth. The tyrant, it is true, was unanimously declared criminal: We all pronounced his solemn condemnation; we have vowed to Royalty an hatred which can never be extinguished: But it is sufficient for us to avenge the wrongs and the injuries of the French nation: We carry deep in our hearts, that intimate and profound conviction, that there cannot exist in a nation, true, solid and durable happiness, except with Liberty—except with Equality. But every nation ought to become itself the author of its own prosperity: We know that light does not penetrate every where with the same force and abundance, and that perfusion is never operated by constraint. A nation is ever sufficiently anxious to imitate another, when it feels sufficiently happy. It is by example alone that mankind can be informed: the appearance of an happiness, founded upon a constant practice of all the social and political virtues, is the most powerful and most useful lesson; nor do we aspire to furnish any others. Ah! to learn how to detest the government we have destroyed, will it not be sufficient to read the history of our revolution? Each page of it is marked by some crime of Royalty: Here it provokes, by its perfidious agents, all the excesses of the most mad democracy; and there whilst openly unfurling the standard of tyranny, it carried the poniard to the heart of every thing which appeared republican; besides, it lighted up the sanguinary torches of fanaticism: Every where it attacked the national fortune, and attempted to corrupt public morality. Defenders of Kings, tell us what crime was foreign to Royalty? From what perfidy, from what meanness has it abstained? Bear witness, the sword of the assassin which destroyed so many Republicans; those false affidavits, with which it proposed to cover our coasts; those apostles of robbery and immorality, with which it inundated our shores; and those dark dungeons, in which so long lighed the members of the national representation. Nation! contemplate
the debilitated & tottering bodies of those victims of the most infamous treason; count upon their limbs the cruel marks of their frightful slavery, and thus recognize the work of Royalty. Consider what it costs a nation to have had the misfortune to exist under a tyrant: Once a prey to Royalty, a nation cannot save itself except by a crisis often mortal; and which, even when it is happy, ever leaves after it the most painful recollections.
You wished to be free: Ah, well! Royalty instantly opened its fatal box, and poured upon you all the misfortunes of the earth. You wished to be free: Royalty declared war against you; Royalty projected to slave you; Royalty cherished in its bosom, jealousies, hatred and the most fatal divisions; Royalty plunged you into all the excesses of licentiousness. You wished to be free: Royalty instantly endeavoured to cover France with mourning and scaffolds; Royalty came audaciously even into the bosom of the national representation, to dissolve it; sometimes borrowing the disgusting forms of anarchy, and sometimes decking itself with the gilded habits of the 13th of Vendemaire. Ah! it is only in the course of our revolution, that we have been able to penetrate thoroughly all the evils which Royalty can produce: Hatred, eternal hatred to this destructive scourge; for it is only by this sentiment that a Frenchman can hope to exist. Nation! you wish for Peace: Ah, well! hatred to Royalty; it is that which has brought you into war. You experience privations: Hatred to Royalty: it is that which wished to subject you by famine. You invite Concord and Union: Hatred to Royalty, which organized civil war and the massacre of Republicans. Hatred, immortal hatred to this horrible scourge: representatives of the people, receive the expression of my sentiments: Why am I not permitted to exceed the limits of this narrow enclosure? Why am I not placed in the midst of all my fellow-citizens? It is in the presence of every nation; it is in the bosom of humanity entire, that I could wish to deposit my oath: I swear "ETERNAL HATRED TO ROYALTY."
And you, representatives of the people, come at last to satisfy a too just impatience; ascend this tribune; there after to vow to Royalty, a sentiment which you have, doublets, reproached me for not having expressed with sufficient force.
The speech of Treilhard was ordered to be printed, sent to the armies, the departments, and to be polled up throughout the Republic.
Foreign Intelligence.
VIA HALIFAX. By the British armed Snow Earl Moira, Captain CROSSKILL, from Halifax, we received papers containing London News to April 30—seven days later than our previous information. We have extracted every thing interesting. The whole wears a war aspect; and there actually appears greater probability of the extension of Belligerency, than of the most partial Pacification. The single object of America, should evidently be a strict neutrality, as the certain means of immense aggrandizement. If the Swedes and Danes are involved in the general Commotion, there will scarcely be left a commercial country of any note, except this, neutral, to which the "carrying Trade" of the world must devolve. England will be able to do but a little portion of her own commercial business, when engaged in war with other Naval Powers than the present, which annoys them so considerably. Other articles of Foreign Information is of a miscellaneous nature, and interesting.
War! War! War! RECOMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES IN ITALY.
ITALY, April 4. Great apprehensions are entertained for the fate of Genoa. The very moment when it was believed, the French army was weakened for want of provisions, we are informed that they are about to take that city in possession, in which it is allowed a large part of the inhabitants will cede with the French. Should the French succeed, they will by its magazines and the great sums of money deposited in the St. George's Bank, be enabled to qualify their finances for the continuation of the war.
VIENNA, April 13. General Beaulieu wrote from Alessandria under date of the 3d of April, that he had sent a corps of troops against the Genoa post called Boubetta, which had taken possession thereof—On the 1st of April, general Pittoni, set out on his march from Novi to Voltaggio, afterwards he beset the town of Novi, and left a detachment behind him in Novi. On the 2d, he proceeded to the advantageous posts of Rocca del Dente, Mornese and Spuzza, and to the already occupied post of Boubetta, to reinforce it with more troops. The field marshal Lieut. Duke Argenteau had beset Ovada. Field marshal Lieut. Colli, had covered Vormidermen. The enemy had in Volttri 11,000 men, and from there to Savona 15,000 men. And along the sea coast to Nizza the enemy's troops were in movement. In the dukedom of Nizza a considerable reinforcement is arrived, and many recruits had been raised.
NEAR RECOMMENCEMENT ON THE RHINE.
FRANKFORT, April 16. The day before yesterday field marshal Wurmler arrived at Mentz from Mannheim where he had an audience of Prince Charles; and yesterday a Council of war was held, in order to settle the military operations of the ensuing campaign. It is
expected the campaign will soon open. The Field Marshal is returned to Mannheim. The operations of the Imperial armies on the Upper and Lower Rhine will combine together in their operations. The Imperial army on the Lower Rhine has been encreased by 30,000 men.
SYMPTOMS OF THE EXTENSION of the WAR MANIA.
STOCKHOLM, April 12. The office for the debts of the kingdom has agreed to furnish sixty tons of gold to carry on the war. The greatest exertions are used for the equipment of our fleet, and a beginning has also been made at Carlscrona. The equipping of the land forces is also carried on with the greatest activity, and a considerable part of the Swedish troops is expected shortly to march for Finland.
LONDON, April 27.
Accounts, we understand, have at length been received of the Dutch fleet, which Admiral Duncan so long sought for in vain. Two ships have gone to the West-Indies; a detachment, has proceeded, it is supposed, for the Cape of Good Hope, and the remainder have formed a junction with the French fleet in Brest.
Victories of the French in Italy.
PARIS, April 21. The commissioners with the army of Italy to the executive directory.
Citizens—The army of Italy has opened the campaign, and that with success truly calculated to strike an impression on the coalesced powers.
You have been already instructed that a division had been advanced to Volttri, six leagues from Genoa. General Buonaparte, whom I informed of this fact on his arrival, perceived in this disposition of the troops, executed some days before, the means of a division capable of surprising the enemy.
He thought it useful with this view, to leave this division at Volttri, in order to draw General Beaulieu upon the heights, and to turn his flank, while he should advance against these troops at Volttri: this design was presently verified. General Beaulieu advanced a body of 15,000 men on the heights of Montenotte, which he commanded in person, having under him Generals Argenteau and Roccevin.
On the 20th instant the division of the Bonetta pushed their reconnoitering to St. Pierre d'Arena, and on the 21st attacked with 6000 men the brigade of Volttri, who under the command of general Cervoni made, though greatly inferior in number, an honorable resistance; completely evacuated the magazines, and executed in the night, and unknown to the enemy, their retreat to Savona in good order, protected by 1500 men that General Buonaparte had placed for the purpose on the heights of Veraggio, and at the avenues of Saffello.
In the interval, 1500 men had been placed in the redoubt of Montenotte, to resist the enemy if they should attack them. This redoubt was attacked on the 22d of May by an Austrian force commanded by general Roccevin, who believing that he should be able to force this post, intended afterwards to advance to Savona, in order to cut off the retreat of the 5000 men of Volttri and of Veraggio.
Three times the enemy attacked this redoubt, and three times they were repulsed with the greatest vigor; they were obliged to abandon it after they had lost 400 men killed and wounded, among whom were one Colonel, two lieutenant-Colonels, one great number of officers, and Gen. Roccevin himself was wounded, according to all accounts, mortally.
There was no doubt but that on the 23d the enemy would have tried a new attack on this redoubt with fresh troops. General Buonaparte took measures accordingly; he gave orders to General LA HARPE to take post upon this height, while he should himself attack the enemy that were in front of the redoubt; and he ordered General Massena to march with all diligence in the night, to take a position in the rear of the enemy.
We all set out from Savona at two o'clock in the morning towards Altari. The attack took place at break of day at Montenotte. The Austrians were vigorously attacked by the division of General LA HARPE, and while they were flying General MASSÉNA having taken them on the left wing, they were put into such complete disorder, that they lost 3,500 men, of whom 2000 are made prisoners, and among these are one Col. the Aid de Camp of ARGENTEAU, and about 60 Officers. The enemy were afterwards pursued in all directions, and here we are arrived at Carcass, masters of the surrounding heights, and of Cairra, which they have been obliged to abandon, to us.
General BUONAPARTE will make known to you the details of the traits of bravery that have signalized this day. I content myself with saying, that the plan of the Commander in Chief could not have been more wisely concerted, and that all Generals, Officers, and Soldiers, have manifested a courage and an ardour truly heroic. Health and Fraternity.

BALTIMORE, June 8. About fourteen days ago, Capt. Phillips arrived from Surinam, at Charleston, (S. C.) and bro't the intelligence; that the king of Denmark has guaranteed property taken on freight by Danish vessels; in consequence of which no American vessels could obtain any freight at Surinam. A Charleston paper of the 18th ult. says that some British ships of war are cruising off that coast, and have for some time boarded almost all the vessels that came into Charleston harbour. They are supposed to be the Prevoyante, Captain Beresford, and Husar, Capt. Weems, which failed from New-York for Bermuda, on the 9th ult.
CHARLESTON, May 27. Capt. Clarke, arrived here the evening before the last from Gonaives.
Capt. Clarke was informed that the troops arrived at Cape-Nichola-Mole were direct from Europe; their number was said to be 15,000; the report was that they intended to proceed against the Cape, where they understood great dissensions existed. Admiral Parker was at Jamaica; the Leviathan, Africa, and one frigate, were all the English vessels cruising on the north side of Hispaniola. No accounts had been received at Gonaives, when Capt. Clarke failed, of the arrival of a French fleet at the Cape.
Capt. Clarke's information respecting the capturing American vessels going to a French port, endorsed on her register that the port she intended to go to was blockaded, and dismiss her; if they are found returning they are captured; but all vessels coming from French ports are captured and sent to Jamaica. The British men of war continue to press American seamen, and no respect to any protection, if it is not from the secretary of state; they frequently take slaves out of their owner's vessels.
PHILADELPHIA, June 9.
Extract of a letter from Hamburg, to a merchant in this city dated April 22.
"The situation of Europe is at this moment exceedingly critical. A war is at this moment on the eve of breaking out between the Empress of Russia and the Swedes; and vast preparations are making by both powers, 60,000 Russians are on the borders of Sweden; and all the troops of the latter power are in motion. The king of Prussia is said to have an army of 40,000 men ready to join the petty principalities, then march into Holland, and once more restore the Stadholder, in consequence as he alleges of the French having violated their Treaty.
"On the other hand, in consequence of this Republic having refused to acknowledge the French Minister, they have laid an embargo on all the ships of this flag in their ports; in consequence of this, numbers ships that were ready to proceed to the different southern ports are detained. England and France seem to maintain the war with unabated activity; so that in short, from present appearances, it is reasonable to conjecture the summer will find all Europe in a blaze.
JUNE 10.
Capt. Stutson, of the sloop Dispatch, informs that a sloop from Surinam, brought certain accounts of the arrival there of a Dutch fleet of six men of war; and that upon the arrival of two more, which had separated from the rest, an attack was to be made on the English at Demarara, who had there a sixty-four and two frigates, and were repairing the works, when Capt. Stutson failed, in consequence of the above mentioned intelligence.
Capt. Jones, in 18 days from Curra-coa, informs, that two ships of the Cork fleet had been sent in there, prizes to a French privateer; and that a brig in 49 days from Amsterdam had arrived, the Captain of which gave information, that the Dutch fleet consisted of seventeen ships of war, left the Texel a few days before him; ten of them were said to be bound to the East-Indies, and 7 for the West.
NEW-YORK, June 12.
CONFIRMATION!!
A little French cruiser, in the India Seas, called Le Karter, with 17 men and a few small cannon, has taken the Triton an English Indiaman, with 26 cannon, 20 of them 12 pounders, and 136 men, commanded by Capt. Burneyheat. The English Captain and seven men were killed—The Karter lost but one man. The name of the brave French commander in Surcouf.
By the last Phila. papers we learn, that the new copper bottomed ship Mount Vernon, belonging to that port, outward bound for London, with a valuable cargo, was taken about one hour after the pilot left her, by the French privateer schooner, Flying-Fish which failed from thence a few days since. The privateer's men took every person Captain and crew out of the Mount Vernon, put them on board a pilot boat and sent them off. The Captain of the Flying Fish, had a list of five or six American ships belonging to this port, which he said he was determined to capture.
From the (London) Oracle, of April 23.
Mr. GREY gave notice, that as the papers which he lately moved for were now before the house, he should on Thursday fortnight, move some resolutions, the tendency of which should be, if the house should agree to them, a direct imputation, and afterwards an IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HIS MAJESTY'S MINISTERS, for illegal misapplication of the public money.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 14th of April.
"On the 29th of March at 2 o'clock, two strange armed vessels were discovered from this place, and about an hour after two lofty ships appeared to the southward, two frigates and two cutter-brigs immediately went out in pursuit, and about 7 we heard a very sharp cannonading, which continued until 8, but as neither of the ships have returned, we are ignorant of the event. On the 4th inst. a French squadron of seven men of war and two frigates, came out of Cadiz, where they passed the winter. The same day, Admiral MAN, failed with 6 seventy-fours and 3 frigates, having his flag on board the Windsor-Castle, of 98 guns. Last Sunday, about 3 P. M. we heard a very heavy firing which continued until 11 A. M. but the consequence is not known here. The Moorish cruisers have brought in several Danish, Swedish and Portuguese prizes, and we are apprehensive of the Algerines being again at war with us."

English and Algerine Treaty.
BASTIA, March 1. The King of England and the Dey of Algiers have concluded a treaty, in which are the following arrangements. The Algerines may carry their prizes into Corsica, and sell them publicly. Every month a packet shall carry letters from and to Corsica, to and from Algiers. The English shall take nothing which they find on board the Algerine vessels, and if any difficulty should arise, the Dey shall decide upon it. The Dey grants liberty to all slaves born in Corsica, and permits the Corsicans to fish for Coral upon the coasts of Barbary. Since these arrangements the Dey has received of the viceroy, Elliot, more than two hundred thousand piasters for an Algerine vessel laden with grain. The English court has sent to the Dey, a ship of 18 guns, copper-bottomed, and since the conclusion of the treaty, has made rich presents to the Algerine ministers. The Dey has given to the secretary, who negotiated the treaty, a rich sabre as a precious mark of esteem.
PHILADELPHIA, June 17.
The Alarm spread in consequence of the idea conceived that the French privateers might have received orders to capture American vessels bound to British ports, had such an effect for two or three days past, as to nearly prevent our outward bound shipping from sailing, and it had still a further effect with the Insurance Offices to prevent their underwriting. The apprehension of some have however since subsided, and the underwriters, we learn, are again on as usual.
BOSTON, June 20.
Extract of a letter dated Baltimore June 10. "Last night I received a letter dated Cayenne, 1st Floreal (April 20) My correspondent informs, that Citizen Jeanner, accompanied by Citizen Lajennetiere, the new Governor, and Citizen Matie, the Ordinator of the Colony, besides several other officers of the Administration, had arrived there three days before, all in good health. The frigate La Medee, the corvette La Bergere, and the cutter La Dragon, are consequently at Cayenne. "The Republican brig Le Crocodile, carrying three 24 pounders, and 50 men, which Citizen Polony some time since brought to Cayenne, has just taken near the mouth of the Amozone, the Portuguese ship La Princesse Royale, commanded by one Trimita, a Lieutenant in the navy, carrying 12 9 pounders, 59 men, and laden with ship timber, 150,000 weight of cocoa, coffee, cotton, &c. and six boxes of piasters. The ship was coming out of the Amozone, and struck, without firing a gun. The light of the tri-coloured flag alone made them fall down on their knees. I vouch for the truth of the above intelligence."
The bearer of this letter confirms the account of the capture of the Cork Fleet, announced at Barbadoes by the sloop of war which was the only one that escaped: On receipt of this news, which was brought on the 10th of May, the embargo which had lasted three months, was taken off. The same person announces also, that Admiral Christian, near Madera, had fallen in with the Dutch fleet, and was taken. [Aurora.]
Of Hostilities on the Rhine,
We feel very confident no certain news has, as yet, been received. The reports that have been circulating, must have originated from the late brilliant victories which occurred to the French in Italy.
No Dutch Squadron had not reached Surinam, May 10. Though it was there said to have arrived at Cayenne—to consist of 5 sail of the line, and three frigates—to have troops on board—to be destined partly to Curacoa, and partly to Surinam. The latter part was hourly expected. This is from official Authority.
JUNE 23. IMPORTANT.
A gentleman from Philadelphia, later than the Mail, has brought a paper of the morning of the 16th, which contains the following very interesting intelligence:
"Philadelphia, June 16.
We stop the press this morning, to communicate the following: By a vessel arrived from Teneriffe, we are informed from undoubted authority, that on the 18th of May an ACCOMMODATION had taken place between the French & Austrians."
Capture of St. Lucia, contradicted.
By a French gentleman (Citizen Savage) from Kennebec, who arrived there a passenger in Capt. Stone, from Tobago, which place he left 28th May, informs, that a Schooner, sent by the British Government of that Island, to St. Lucia, on the 18th, to enquire respecting the event of the attack made on that place; had returned in a short passage on the 26th, and informed, that a Colonel and sixty six officers had been killed, and about six thousand men killed and wounded; that Capt. Stone failed on the 28th from Tobago: the next day, being about a league to the windward of Grenada, was spoke with, by two English Frigates, one of which was the Venus, the Capt. of which informed him, that they would be obliged to abandon, St. Lucia, Grenada, and St. Vincents. Citizen Savage further reports, that there was at Guadaloupe 12 French ships of war, and that they had taken 25 English transports with troops, ammunition and provisions. When he left Tobago, there was but 100 men in fort St. George. Citizen Savage conversed with the commander of the above Schooner who gave him this account.
Continued European War.
Our last accounts from Europe author-
rize not the least gleam of hope for Peace this season—But that the present campaign will be the most sanguinary of any during the present war. It has already commenced in Italy, with the most brilliant success on the side of the French; they having defeated the Austrians and Piedmontese, and killed two thousand five hundred men, besides taking 8000 prisoners, 40 field pieces, waggons, &c. &c.
From BOSTON, June 8.
The capture of the Cork fleet seems now to be confirmed beyond all doubts. It is a severe stroke to the British commerce, and will undoubtedly bring ruin on some honest men. Yet we are taught to read these articles as a kind of pastime. A gentleman well acquainted with the West-India trade assures us that these ships can hardly be worth less than eighteen thousand pounds sterling each. Twenty ships at this rate come to four hundred & fifty thousand pounds, an immense sum!
From CADIZ, May 6.
Capt. Holbrook, from Cadiz, informs us, that Admiral Richery's Squadron was still lying there, although ready for sea, and actually in the lower road. Ten sail of Spanish men of war were also lying in the roads, completely fitted for sea: One of these ships mounted 170 guns, and rated at 144. Their destination was unknown. The British Admiral Mann was cruising in the Bay, with a fleet stronger than Richery's, by six ships of the line. All the prizes were not told.
Captain Hooper saw a letter from the American Consul at Malaga, which informed of the capture of 9 Danish vessels off that place, by the Algerines, in consequence of which the Danes, lying in Cadiz, nearly ready for sea, were stripped to wait a convoy. The letter mentioned six Algerine cruizers to be off that place; and that three months longer were allowed by the Dey for the receipt of the ratification of the American Treaty; after which period, if he received no information upon the subject, captures would again be made.
The ratification of the Spanish and American Treaty was received at Cadiz, by the brig Jack, from New-York six days before Capt. Hooper failed—and will now be completely in effect.
From MARTINIQUE.
Capt. HOLMES, from Martinique, in 24 days, confirms, beyond dispute, the news of the capture of St. Lucia. General illuminations took place at Martinique, in consequence of the event. The loss of the English, he imagines to have been 4 or 5000 men. Guadalupe was not to be attacked till after the Hurricane months. The principal part of the fleet, it was said, were to go to leeward. Markets low.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Arrived since our last, British arrived from Earl Moira, of 14 guns, Captain Crokill, from Halifax, 5 days;—also the French privateer brig Eagle, Barre, of 14 guns, 15 days from Charleston, and a cruise;—also, the ci-devant British Packet Tartar, prize to the French privateer, captured on her passage from New-York for Halifax, the dispatches, letters, &c. thrown overboard;—also, brig George, Fobes, prize to the Eagle, French privateer; she was from London for St. Johns; had a cargo of 25 or 30,000. value.—Also arrived, ship American Eagle, Gerith, from Liverpool; Harriot, Orr, Cork; brig Polly, Pope, Liverpool; Lydia, Dunham, St. Ubes; a brig from Portsmouth, with timber for the federal frigate; Schooner Harmony, Gardner, Kingston; Lively, Shepherd, Dominico; Jay, Nichols, Hispaniola; Betsey, Phillips, do President, Holbrook, Cadiz.
The Earl Moira British armed brig now lying at the Castle, is not half manned. She mounts the same guns as the Eagle. The English prisoners captured by the French National brig Eagle, have been set at liberty, and allowed their clothes, and adventures.
SALE, June 17.
FRENCH HEROISM.
Extract of a letter received from a gentleman belonging to this town, and directed to his owner here, dated
Isle of France, March 25, 1796.
"The Modesty Privateer arrived here 5 days ago from a most successful cruise off the Sand Head, in the bay of Bengal—and has brought in all her prizes; the most valuable of which is the Triton English East Indiaman from Madras bound for Bengal. The circumstances of this capture are perhaps the most extraordinary that ever occurred, &c. are as follows:—The Modesty had at first but 80 men, and had distributed among her other prizes the greater part of them—When the Indiaman hove in sight, a Bengal Pilot (which was a prize to the Modesty, and which they used as a decoy) then bore down upon the Triton, having on board only 23 men in all, and boarded from their yard arms this formidable ship—17 Republicans only got on board, and with sword and pistol in hand completely mastered her in about 15 minutes. The English Captain, and 8 or 10 men were killed in the action—the rest run below and were secured. They then captured another vessel, which the prisoners ransomed, and failed for Madras. The generous French Captain (who is a young hero not 21 years old) gave the passengers, among whom were several ladies, all their private property. He fought the English Captain hand to hand, and shot him, with his own pistol. It seems the Modesty was not in company at all—and indeed it would have been a sad disgrace from her name to have engaged in such an unequal combat—17 men overpowered 130, protected by 40 guns, at least, mounted—the remaining 6 could not get on board. The English prisoners were made to pass one by one, in irons, from their own ship into the ransomed vessel—and the invincible
tars of Old England exclaimed as they passed, "D—n my eyes, Jack, where are the men that took us?" The French privateer had only a Letter of Marque's commission, and went originally to take Turtle—she is an American built vessel and belonged last war to, and failed from Baltimore—Schooner rigged, and was called the Antelope. In consequence of this success, the Governor here has granted permission for four Privateers to sail for India, and they are now equipping.
"American produce is very dull here, and in no demand. Some articles are fifty per cent. lower than in America. Coffee is rising daily—the price is now 15 1-2 dollars per sack, of 100 French lbs. and scarce any to be had at that rate. The Governor is respected, and the Island is in a state of defence—but they fear a visit from the English fleet. However it would be difficult to take the island, and indeed most impossible—but the port could easily be blockaded, as the French have only a few frigates in those seas."
"There are six or eight Americans here, all making bad voyages, and we hear of a dozen more expected every moment, who must sink half their capitals. A ship, Capt. Boit alias Boyd, belonging to Boston, who came from the North-Well Coast of America by the route of China, and has made a successful voyage, says the Straits of Sunda are full of American ships, but he gives no particular names."
PORTSMOUTH, June 25.
Yesterday being the festival of St. John Baptist, the Grand Lodge in this town, working under the auspices of the Most Worshipful HALL JACKSON, went in procession in ample form to St. John's Church, when divine service was performed, and a most excellent discourse upon the origin and tendency of Masonry, and duties of a Mason, was delivered by the Rev. Brother Willard—After which the brethren returned to the Assembly-Room, and partook of an excellent dinner provided by the Stewards. A number of masonic toasts were drank, but none gave more delight than that "to our illustrious brother George Washington, the President of the United States." It is a principle of Masonry to glory in the virtuous, and to love and support just government and laws. The Lodge was closed, and the brethren after being entertained with a few favorite songs, retired to their homes in due season, and with great satisfaction to themselves; having the pleasing reflection that no impropriety of behavior had given just cause to any one, even the most censorious, to traduce the institution. The thanks of the fraternity are most sincerely given to the young ladies, who voluntarily afforded their assistance to render the music delightful to the numerous auditory at the Church: and those who assisted them, equally merit the approbation of all persons present—we sincerely hope we shall meet them again upon a like occasion the next anniversary.
We are authorized to inform the Electors of New-Hampshire, That the Hon. JOHN S. SHERBURNE, Esquire, declines being considered as a candidate at the approaching election of Members to represent this State in Congress.
Report also says, that the Hon. Mr. GILMAN, another of the present Members, will likewise decline.
DIED.—At Durham, last Tuesday morning, the Hon. GEORGE FROST, Esq. aged 77.
As a respectable statesman and patriot he was early known in the general Congress, and for many years in the office of Judge in this State—His humanity, his cheerfulness, and his great philanthropy gave evidence of his truly christian temper—and his unexampled hospitality and kindness rendered him dear to society. His comfort and children feel the loss of unceasing affection and tenderness—and the sons and daughters of poverty and distress within the compass of his knowledge, now sighing say—"We have lost our friend."
