From the Political Gazette.
MR. BARRETT,
As your last Paper mentioned the loss of St. Paul's Cathedral, perhaps the following particulars of that most beautiful and stupendous Edifice, may be entertaining to some of your readers: If you are of the same opinion, they are at your service, for insertion. Yours, A. Z.
THE dimensions and curiosities of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, which was begun to be rebuilt in the year 1675, and was finished in the year 1715, including the space of 40 years, It was begun, and finished, by Sir Christopher Wren, the chief architect; by one Mr. Strong, the principal mason; and under Dr. Compton, then Bishop of London. One Mr. Hill was chiefly employed in the decorations of this church, in carving the lively representation of St. Paul's conversion; the majestic figure of St. Paul, on the apex of the pediment, with St. Peter on his right hand, and St. James on his left; and the four Evangelists, with their proper emblems, on the front of the tower, &c. St. Mathew is distinguished by an angel, St. Mark by a lion, St. Luke by an ox, and St. John by an eagle.
The charge of building this Cathedral, which amounted to fifteen hundred thousand pounds sterling, was chiefly supported by a small and easy tax on sea-coal.
The dimensions of St. Paul's from east to west, within the walls, is 510 feet—from north to south, within the doors of the porticos, 289 feet—the breadth, at the west entrance, 100 feet—its circuit, 2292 feet—its height within, from the centre of the floor to the cross, 404 feet—the circumference of the dome is 420 feet—the diameter of the ball, 6 feet—from the ball, to the top of the cross, 30 feet—the diameter of the columns of the porticos, 4 feet—their height is 48 feet—to the top of the west pediment, under the figure of St. Paul, 120 feet—of the tower of the west front, 287 feet.
1st. From the bottom to the whispering gallery is 280 steps, including those to the golden gallery, is 534, and to the ball, in all, is 616 steps.
The weight of the ball is 5600 pounds. The weight of the cross is 3360.
The extent of the ground plot wherein St. Paul stands, is 2 acres, 16 perches, 13 yards and 1 foot. This vast fabric is surrounded at a proper distance with strong iron pallisades, in number about 2500; and in the area of the grand west front, on a pedestal of excellent workmanship, stands a statue of Queen Anne, with proper decorations: the figure on the base represents Britannia, with her Spear; Gallia, with a crown on her lap; Hibernia with her harp; America, with her bow; all of the workmanship of the same ingenious statuary that performed the rest.
The Library is remarkable for its flooring, it being most artfully inlaid, without nail or peg, like the framing of a billiard-table. The wainscoting and cases for books wants neither elegance nor convenience, there is a fine painting of Bishop Compton, under whom this Cathedral was built.
The next is a very curious geometry staircase, being the best ever made in England; it hath 90 steps, all supported by the bottom step.
There is a very curious fine model, which Sir Christopher Wren first caused to be made, in order to have built this Cathedral in every respect like it.
The great bell in weight is 11474 pounds; the clapper is 180 pounds; the diameter of the bell is 10 feet, on which the hour of the clock strikes; and the quarters strike on two lesser bells underneath.
The length of the minute hand 8 feet, The weight of ditto 75 pounds.
The length of the hour hand 5 feet 5 inches.
The weight of ditto, 44 pounds.
The length of the hour figures, 2 feet 2 inches and an half.
The circumference of the dial is 57 feet.
There is a curious fine whispering gallery, where sounds are enlarged to an amazing degree; the shutting of the door seems as loud as thunder at a distance; the least whisper is heard round the whole circumference; and one speaking against the wall, appears to be present to another on the other side, though the distance between them is no less than 140 feet.
Within this gallery you have a fine view of the curious paintings, done by Sir James Thornhill; who, in eight compartments, has represented the principal passages in the history of St. Paul's life: namely, his conversion; his punishing Elymas, the forcerer, with blindness; his preaching at Athens; his curing the poor cripple at Lystra, and the reverence there paid him by the priests of Jupiter, as a God; his conversion of the goaler; his preaching at Ephesus, and the burning of the magic books in consequence of the miracles he there wrought; his trial before Agrippa; his shipwreck on the Island of Malta; and his miracle of the viper.

LATE Foreign Intelligence.
ENGLAND. LONDON, Oct. 29.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
HIS Majesty's speech having been read by the Speaker, Lord DALKEITH rose to move an address. He took a general view of our resources, commerce, and successes, both in the East and West-Indies. In the East, the enemy had been dispossessed of almost all the territory which they possessed; and, in the West, there was not the least doubt of events turning out in our favor. The victories of our fleets were unexampled in any former period; notwithstanding the severity of the present season, the bravery of our seamen were such, that all the enemy's ports were completely blocked up; and he considered this as the most unseasonable time to sue for peace; this would be convincing them of the inability of this country to carry on the war. He concluded by moving that an humble address be presented to his Majesty, for his most gracious speech. Here followed the address, which, as usual, was an echo of the speech.
The Hon. Mr. STEWART rose to second the address: In speaking of the desperate state of France, he said, that the assignats, and the system of terror, two great supporters of the French resources, were now almost exhausted. He entered into a calculation of the losses on assignats, and the enormous expenses of the French Government; the present system, he maintained, would be abandoned by them, as well as the system of terror. The taxes of last year chiefly fell on those classes of the people who could best bear them. As to the secession of Prussia, Hanover, and the petty princes of Germany, he excused it on the ground of necessity, particularly observing that it was impossible for Hanover to hold it, as so powerful an event as Prussia, lay at its back.
Mr. SHERIDAN rose, and expressed his surprise at the speech delivered by his Majesty, in which he could not observe a word that breathed the language of Peace; he perceived a profound silence in that House; but was astonished that they should remain dumb at hearing such a speech as the present. The fifth or sixth word in it was satisfaction ; there was not, he said, a man in this island who could form the most distant idea why the word satisfaction could find its way into his Majesty's speech; for what they could be satisfied at, no man, he believed, could possibly know. The speech tells us that we have been successful in Italy; he would be glad to know how? for he was certain that all the exertions of the Allies had not prevented Gen. Kellerman from entering that country. As to their intelligence from the Rhine, he presumed, that was merely taken from the Paris Papers, and it was no great sign of the French retreating with much loss, when they had taken up their winter-quarters on the north side of that river. The King of Prussia had received immense sums of money from this country, and was to remain steady to his alliance until France was conquered, but he had nevertheless thought proper to change his sentiments.
As to the West-Indies, we had three islands there last year, and now have but one; we had even lost St. Lucia and Guadaloupe, and our other possessions there were menaced; he was sorry to see a Speech put into his Majesty's hand like the present, by which the hopes of Peace were removed to a much greater distance than by any delivered from the Throne since the beginning of the present War. He here quoted a passage in the last year's Speech from the Throne, which stated, that Peace could only be procured by the success of our arms, but here, on the contrary, our defeats were the only means of procuring us advantageous terms. In the Speech of last Session we were led to expect that the period of Peace was not far distant; but this year we are told, that circumstances have led to a contest, of which it is impossible to foresee the issue.
The Elector of Hanover he thought justifiable in making Peace, as Prussia was so near at his back; and he would think it a good thing, if his Majesty could bring over his Hanoverian Council here, and send his Ministers over to Hanover. We had, he said, received very great assistance from that just, amiable and humane Lady , the Empress of Russia; and he believed the only improvement the grand alliance had received from her was, that she sent her fleet to England to help to eat our provisions. His Majesty's hopes were, that the French Nation would become better. Was it from want? he abhorred the idea; if a country, in proportion as it was oppressed, dragooned, and enslaved, become better, than he thought England would, have the best government in the world. Why had the armament to the West-Indies failed? Why had the expedition been delayed? Because, in the whole of the system, which Ministers had pursued, there was no fixed principle observed, and that was the reason why the Honorable Gentleman (Mr. Stewart), had so much confidence in the Minister. From the time Sir Charles Grey went out to the West-Indies, there was not a single man sent out to him. How, then, could it be expected, that he would achieve conquests, or effect any thing great?
There was, he said, a young man, (Mr. Jenkinson,) who wished to strike a mortal blow at the heart of France, by marching directly to Paris; but, as he had failed in doing this, he thought it the least thing he could do, to nibble a little at the extremities—as he could not attack the core, he thought he might scratch the
rhind; and as he could not strike this mortal blow, he thought he ought to nibble a little at the rocks of Noirmoutier and Poitou. The expedition to Quiberon he thought disgraceful to humanity; though it was not British blood that was shed, still it was of those unfortunate Emigrants, that were so fatally deluded by us.
He charged Ministers with a criminal delay in the intended expedition; and though there appeared to be many regiments on paper in the West-Indies, yet there was but one. Their system of conquest he thought vain and delusive, and that they would drain us of our dearest resources, viz. of our men; he therefore wished that they would abandon these ideas; for if 50,000 men were sent now, we should lose them all before long, by the inclemency of the climate, for, to his own certain knowledge, 14 officers and 400 men, were lost in one regiment. He would recommend to Government to follow the example of Prussia, the Elector of Hanover, and the other German Princes, who had made peace, not to look to the form of Government, but to make peace with any arm whatever that existed in France. From the declaration of the unfortunate Louis XVIII, we must not desist until Monarchy is restored in France; if, therefore, this paper was authentic, (which he did not doubt,) and was written with the knowledge of Ministers, they ought to be impeached, and lose their heads.
One particular charge against the Stuart family, was their connection with France; and he was convinced that there never was a world's neighbor than this country had in France under the Bourbon Family; unless, therefore, the restoration of Monarchy was disavowed, he would consider the mark quite thrown off, and that that was the object of Ministers. He would move no Amendment, but object in toto to the Address: but if any such thing as an Amendment should be proposed, it should be to assure his Majesty, that we dare no longer shrink from our Constituents, but that we must endeavor to put an end to this destructive War.
Mr. Jenkinson said, that there was no man more for Peace, than he was, but this was not the moment to sue for it; and that nothing could remove Peace to a greater distance, than to relax in our preparations for war. He quoted the opinion of General Dumourier, respecting the plan of the Allies, and that they must eventually succeed.—The blow we had struck at the Navy of France, was greater than any we had given in former wars. The Government of France had been changing and fluctuating every year since the Revolution; in the year 1793, no property was necessary to qualify Electors, and in 1795, a much greater than that in England. Should France declare Holland and Belgium free, still they would be under her influence; and it would be terrible for this country to let her remain in the quiet possession of all the seacoast from Bayonne to the Weser, and which would more particularly deprive us of the valuable commerce of Holland. If then, we could not retake those countries, we ought to endeavour to take an equivalent, in order to exchange for them at the conclusion of a Peace. He alluded to the increase of assignats, and their consequent depreciation; and that, should France continue to increase in the same proportion, she would be unable at last to find papers to supply the amount. He concluded by giving it as his opinion, that this was not the period in which we ought to treat, though he believed it not far distant.
Mr. MAURICE ROBINSON complained in general terms, of the mismanagement of public affairs, and voted against the Address.
Mr. FOX declared, that after the very extraordinary Speech which he had heard from the Throne he could not remain in silence. He wished to know how long his Majesty's Ministers were to build on speculations of terror and anarchy. Was it not sufficient to add 500,000 sterling to the annual tax, to pay the interest of 100,000,000, and to have brought on the scarcity of last year? but most Ministers, besides, insult the people, by telling them: that their condition is better than it was last year?
With respect to the victory of the Austrians, it was not a victory of last year, but last week; and what have the Austrians gained from France? Nothing. Has France gained any thing from them? Certainly she has, and that considerable too; and is this the way to improve our situation? If, therefore, we have lost much, and are still to lose more, our situation consequently must be better. If Ministers gave five millions to the Emperor, it was for offensive operations; but on the contrary, they have been driven across the Rhine; and is our situation better for this? With respect to this Country and France, he would be glad to know which of them had improved their situation since last year? Certainly France.
He maintained that not one family in this country could earn bread for themselves; and was this improving our situation? He had no doubt but that France was in distress, and that the dearth of provisions arose from the War alone, but had not the least doubt but this country was in a worse situation. The depreciation of assignats was mentioned as another cause of distress; but that, he said, was not the case; for after assignats fell to 80 per cent. it was just the same as 800, which position was confirmed by the paper currency of America. In the last debate, in June last, we were told France was in her last agonies; he was afraid of such agonies as these, and he believed she was now just in such another agony; and we are notwithstanding stating her to be in such a state of superiority as to put Peace out of our reach.
The Speech, he said, on the Proclamation was much plainer than this; in it we were told that we might soon expect to be able to negotiate a Peace; but he believed that the restoration of Monarchy in France was the
Minister's object. What are we told now—that affairs are in such a crisis that it is impossible to foresee the event? When in 1792 the King was condemned to death, we were told that things were coming to a crisis, the event of which could not be foreseen: when a great number of the Deputies were beheaded, we were told the same thing; when all the commotions that had happened in France took place, we were told the same thing. If he could think the Gentleman opposite (Mr. Jenkinson) was capable of stating the opinion of Ministers, he would say, their intentions were to restore the family of the Bourbons; in which case he must also say, if such were their intentions, their senses were lost. We have in vain spent, how many millions? and how many men? and we have sacrificed those unhappy men, the wretched and deluded Emigrants.
He knew not by whom the expedition to Quiberon was planned; but sure he was, that it was a most disgraceful one to the English nation; and even after it failed, a second was set on foot.—You now have your navy in imminent danger, and under the necessity of landing stores on Isle de Dieu; you also sent an Officer to demand the surrender of Noirmoutier to Louis XVIII. Was not this restoring Monarchy in France? if then that paradoxical opinion prevails, that France loses by victories, we must of course gain by defeats at Quiberon. The Hon. Gentleman, (Mr. Jenkinson) thinks that 100,000,000. sterling, and a hundred thousand British subjects, are well expended as a sort of yeast, to produce the terror of Robespierre.
Mr. Fox concluded an argumentative and animated speech, by proposing an Amendment, nearly as long as the Address, the outlines of which were an intreaty to his Majesty, under the present disastrous situation of our Allies, and the miseries of this country, to endeavour to conclude a speedy Peace with the French Government.
[He was followed in an able & eloquent speech by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, which, for the present, want of room obliges us to omit. After the Chancellor of the Exchequer, several other Gentlemen spoke for and against the Address.]
The House divided at half past twelve o'clock this morning, when the numbers stood as follows:
For the Amendment, 59 Majority 31 Against it, 140
Mr. PITT then moved for a Select Committee to prepare an Address to his Majesty.
By a letter from St. Helena, of the date of the 22d of July, we learn, that on the 19th the Orpheus Packet had arrived there from the Cape. She sailed again on the evening of the 22d with a large supply of all kinds of warlike stores, and 6000. in specie. The reinforcement sent by the Arnilton, from St. Helena, consisted of 480 men, six field pieces, two gallopers, and two howitzers, together with a remittance of 10,000. in cash.
Monday morning the five following regiments were embarked at Southampton, in the large vessels engaged by government to transport the troops to the West-Indies—the grenadier companies of which regiments had marched three days before, to be embarked at Hilsea barracks: 37th, 38th, 42d, 48th, and 88th.—The second and last of these regiments came from Lynahurst and Iron Hill barracks, at which place they had been since their debarkation on the 6th inst. at Southampton. The whole was conducted with the greatest order and regularity; and from the prudent orders of the General, and the care and activity of the officers, not the least accident happened. On pushing off from the shore each boat gave three cheers, and exclaimed "England for ever!"
The total number embarked within these few days, amounts to eleven regiments, each on an average 800 strong.
It is thought the remainder of the camp, on Nulling Common, will be embarked in a few days.
When the wind becomes fair, the soldiers wives who are pregnant, or have children, will sail from hence in two ships, the one bound to Cork, and the other to Dublin, or some port in Ireland. They are previously to receive the Duke of York's bounty, of two guineas each for themselves, and half a guinea for each child. Only four women per company is allowed to accompany the troops.
A reinforcement of 15,000 men has arrived to the army of General Kellerman, in Italy.
We are happy in being enabled positively to assert, upon the best authority, that the account of a misfortune having befallen the army under General Doyle, at Isle Dieu, and which was so generally and confidently circulated on Friday afternoon and Saturday, is void of foundation.
A letter from Nantz, in one of the last Paris papers, dated the 8th Vendemaire, contains the following article: "Yesterday an English vessel, with 40 Emigrants, disembarked them near Sables. At the moment, they thought themselves conquerors they were attacked on a sudden by the Republicans, and pursued with the bayonet. Not one of them escaped."
When the last accounts left Isle Dieu, the Count D'Artois had not heard from Charette for upwards of a fortnight. The horses were dying very fast; and the men in a very unhealthy state, for want of proper habitations and fresh provisions.
The garrison of Isle Dieu consists of 2300 English troops, and 700 French Royalists, who are encamped in the island. It is certain that the expedition in question is not likely to be attended with any success. The Count D'Artois is about to return, and the troops are re-called home. The stores are also about to be re-shipped.
Yesterday was received the Leyden and Amsterdam Gazettes, of the 20th inst. They contain an account of the States General having passed a resolution for the convocation of a National Convention. Against this resolution, however, the province of Zealand has solemnly protested.
It is said, that government are at length convinced of the general unproductiveness of the late wheat harvest, from the present very scanty supplies at Mark-lane, notwithstanding the enormously advanced prices, and are therefore wisely about to adopt some general measure of restriction to prevent the further increase of this national calamity. The Privy Council have been indefatigably employed for the last month in examining all persons likely to explain the real cause of the shortness of the supply, or to advise any salutary measure for remedying the defect. His Majesty, in his speech from the throne, makes it one of the first objects for the attention of Parliament; and after the address, in a Committee of the Commons, Mr. Pitt will move to take this important subject into immediate consideration. An act, prohibiting the making of any other than one sort of coarse flour, with one seventh barley, and the rest wheat, is a measure which is likely to follow, under the auspices of Lord Hawkesbury.
Thomas Paine means shortly to set out for America, and pass the remainder of his days on the estate voted to him by Congress in New-Jersey.
OFFICIAL.
From the LONDON GAZETTE—Oct. 31.
"Downing-Street, October 23, 1795. "The ratifications of the treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation, between his Majesty and the United States of America, signed the 19th November last, were this day exchanged by Lord Grenville, his Majesty's principal secretary of state for Foreign affairs, with William Allen Deas, Esq. charge d' Affairs from the United States."
BOSTON, Dec. 24.
The INSURGENTS.
during the insurrection in Paris had got possession of the national treasury. But the commissioners had taken their measures so well, that the rebels could not find the keys or treasure. They persisted in their resolution to die at their post rather than discover either. During this embarrassment a company of merchants offered the convention what ready money might be wanted, and credit besides for about twelve millions.
The European world was at an eventful crisis, at the date of our last accounts; but we perceive in it, a faint glimmering of approaching Peace. The great leading characters of the French Convention, are decidedly in favor of Peace, on just and honorable terms; and we doubt not that one of the first acts of the new Executive Directory, (amongst whom we anticipate the pleasure of seeing BOISSY D'ANGLAS, and BARTHELEMY) will be to open a negotiation for a general Peace. In England, the voice of the People, in general, is loud for Peace; and even so early as November, after a good harvest, the complaints of scarcity were so numerous, as to induce the British King to make it a subject of legislative concern; and to induce the ministry to assign a very early day for a discussion of the subject. Added to these, the King of England, as Elector of Hanover, has made Peace with the French. On the other hand, the vast English "preparation" for the West-Indies, dims the prospect considerably; but these preparations may be made, merely to demand better terms in a negotiation. If peace is not made the present winter, Famine will stalk through a great part of Europe. If Americans are wise they will profit by this view of the affairs of the old world.
It is said, in several of the English papers, that the Empress of Russia, was marching a large body of troops [24,000] to reinforce the Austrian army. It is true, that England, Germany, and Russia, have entered into Treaties of Defensive Alliance.
The retreat of the French army of the Sambre and Meuse, under Gen. JOURDON, was no doubt as much in consequence of the great numbers which had been drawn therefrom, to suppress the Jacobin seditions of Paris, as by the junction of the Austrian armies of Clairfait and Wurmser. Of course when the new Constitution is in activity, and those restless spirits destroyed, if a Peace is not brought on the carpet, the troops will be ordered to their ports. The organ of the Committee of Public Safety has said, that "Mentz shall again be invested."
THE FISHERIES
Are among the richest mines of Massachusetts; and we are happy in learning their success and extension, not only on the Banks but in our bays and harbours, in a part of the town of Gloucester, (Cape Ann) they have about one hundred boats in the home fishery—the proportion of each of which the late summer, has averaged four hundred quintals—making a product of 120,000 quintals, caught by the virtuous and hardy fishermen of one small town. The craft in which they fish are navigated by two or three men; and are fitted out at a moderate expense. "Truly with every fish we draw out of the sea, we draw out a piece of silver."

Mr. Randolph's Vindication.
The public we assure ourselves will be happy in receiving an accurate analysis of Mr. RANDOLPH's Defence—we feel pleasure in being able to commence one this day, although necessitated to omit many articles of miscellany, intelligence and advertisements in consequence.
Interesting Communication.
From PHILADELPHIA.
"Dec. 18, 1795.—I enclose you Mr. Randolph's "Vindication." You will find in it a grotesque compilation of about twenty official papers, interlarded with a thousand egotisms. He appears to have possessed a profound veneration for THE PRESIDENT of the United States; but complains bitterly of the manner in which he proceeded towards him with respect to Mr. Fauchet's intercepted letter. [This letter was intercepted in the Jean Bart, French armed vessel, sent by Lord Grenville to Mr. Hammond, by him sent to Mr. Wolcott, who communicated it to THE PRESIDENT.] According to Mr. R.'s account, THE PRESIDENT received that letter on the 11th Aug. from Mr. Wolcott, and did not acquaint Mr. R. of its contents until the 19th, eight days after; and that during this time he consulted the Secretary of the Treasury, and the Secretary at War, (by-the-bye the two persons he ought to have consulted) on the subject. The stupidity of this last complaint is obvious.—I would ask, whether Gen. WASHINGTON, your Committee of Public Safety, or Congress, in 1775, when they intercepted Dr. Church's letter, first consulted him, or some confidential officers, what methods ought to be pursued on the subject?—The latter undoubtedly.—And yet Dr. Church was a man high in office, and called himself a "Republican" patriot as often as Mr. R. does in his Vindication. As to the time THE PRESIDENT kept the letter before he divulged it to him, Mr. R. ought to have recollected, that he himself has taken three long months to consider and reply to that very letter, which he is angry, that THE PRESIDENT took one week to examine (for it was on the evening of the 11th that he received it, and the morning of the 19th that he divulged it)—and when too several other persons are alluded to, and several other matters contained in it, equally requiring the PRESIDENT's attention and mature consideration. But I need not apologize for THE PRESIDENT.—He is the best judge of the manner in which he ought to conduct his own business; and the joint advice of Mr. Wolcott and Gen. Pickering, ought to go, all circumstances considered, full as far as Mr. Randolph's. To shew THE PRESIDENT's frankness and generosity, I quote one sentence from his letter to Mr. R. in request for papers, which is as follows:—"You are at full liberty to "publish, without reserve, any and every private "and confidential letter I ever wrote you; nay "more—every word I ever uttered to, or in "your presence, from whence you can derive "any advantage in your vindication." And in another letter to Mr. R. dated "Mount-Vernon, Sept. 27, 1795," THE PRESIDENT says, "No man would rejoice more than I should, "to find that the suspicions which have resulted "from the intercepted letter, were unequivocally and honourably removed." This to a man who could write such insulting letters, as Mr. R. has done, shews in THE PRESIDENT a mind panoplied in conscious virtue and integrity. It may not be amiss to mention, that Mr. R. having requested that the letter should continue in secrecy, until the inquiry should be made, THE PRESIDENT immediately replied, "that no disclosure of its contents should be made by him, and that he would enjoin the same on the public officers who were acquainted with the purport of it; unless something should appear to render an explanation necessary on the part of government;—of which," says he, "I shall be the judge." This injunction was strictly observed.
"Mr. Fauchet's letter is dated Oct. 3, 1794, and contains twenty-five long paragraphs—all of which shew how meddlesome he had been in the domestic concerns of the United States—as two thirds of his letter relates merely to the Pittsburg insurrection. In the first paragraph, when informing the Commissioner of Foreign Relations at Paris, of his having reserved a key to the facts respecting that insurrection; and the imprudence of running any risks with the friends to the government, he adds, "besides the precious confessions of Mr. Randolph alone throw a satisfactory light upon every thing that comes to pass." This, you will say, if Mr. F. is to be believed, is rather extraordinary in an American officer, to a Foreign Minister—when that Minister's masters are at war!—Mr. F. then goes on to mention the causes of the insurrection—as, the creation of the "federal and anti-federal parties" after the constitution was adopted; but these, he adds, would in time have been destroyed by the operations of that Constitution, (which he confesses "has rendered the nation flourishing") had not the "system of finances" renewed the vigor of them. After mentioning that this system was intended to introduce a monarchical government, he adverts to the prejudices of the people and of Congress against the Secretary of the Treasury, the investigation of his conduct in 1792 and 1793; and his then "triumph" over his "enemies." He then goes on to what he calls "the popular societies," and informs, that from them a "concert of declarations and censures against the government arose; at which the latter itself was astonished." He then details the fulminations of the Societies, against
government, and says, that the western people "could not but accede with enthusiasm to the criminatians"—These, with the excise and the sale of lands, he says, excited the murmurs of these people. Thus you see, the precious resolves of the Jacobins caused the insurrection—for says, Mr. Fauchet, "at last the local explosion is effected—The western people calculated on being supported in the east, and even imagined they had in the bosom of the government some abettors." He then proceeds to insinuate, that the government hastened the local eruption, to make an advantageous diversion, and to lay the more general storm which it saw gathering; and that he was authorized in the conjecture from the Secretary of State. He goes on to mention the assembly of the insurgents, the sending Commissioners, and raising an army.—The latter he attributes to Mr. Hamilton—the pacific measure "to the influence of Mr. Randolph over the mind of the President, whom" says Mr. F. "I DELIGHT ALWAYS TO BELIEVE, AND WHOM I DO BELIEVE, TRULY VIRTUOUS, AND THE FRIEND OF HIS FELLOW-CITIZENS AND PRINCIPLES."
"Of the composition of the army, Mr. F. mentions, that of all the Governors who were in it, the Gov. of Pennsylvania alone enjoyed the name of Republican, and as being unfavourable to Mr. HAMILTON's system. "The Secretary of this State, [Dallas] he adds, possesses great influence in the popular society of Philadelphia, which in its turn influences those of other States; of course he merited the attention of government. "It appears therefore," continues Mr. Fauchet, "that these men with others unknown to me, all having without doubt Randolph at their head, were balancing to decide on their party. Two or three days before the Proclamation was published, and of course before the cabinet had resolved on its measures, Mr. Randolph came to see me with an air of great eagerness, and made me the overtures of which I have given you an account in my No. 6. Thus adds Mr. F. "with some thousands of dollars the Republic could have decided on civil war or on peace. Thus the consciencies of the pretended patriots of America have already their prices!" This is a faithful transcript, and must strike every one with astonishment! You will see the extract which Citizen Adet gives from this No. 6 letter, and will make your own comments upon it, remembering that neither Fauchet nor Adet ought to betray any secret, injurious to Mr. R. and that they cannot be compelled to do it. The residue of Mr. Fauchet's letter which is very long, contains very minute information of every transaction of our government, and the people; and in short, he writes to the Convention more in the style of the Chief Magistrate of a Colony to the Mother Country, than in that of a public Minister from one Independent nation to another. In my next I will proceed in the review."
"The editor has examined the above extracts and finds them accurate."
"PELTINGS."
Although Mr. F.'s insinuations against Mr. R. all respect his conduct during the Pittsburg insurrection, two thirds of his defence is about the Treaty. It is rather singular, notwithstanding so many Secretaries of State, of War, and of the Treasury, have resigned, that no one but Mr. R. should have published a "vindication" of his resignation! This looks a little suspicious!
No later European Intelligence than we have before given, has been received. Of Domestic News—whether political, commercial, agricultural, or manufacturing—we can comprise our account in two words, "All's well."
A letter from a member of the Legislature of N. C. dated Raleigh, Dec. 8, says, "A long string of resolutions reprobating the Treaty, and returning thanks to our Senators for voting against it, was brought forward in the House of Commons, but I have the happiness of informing you that they were rejected by a vast majority, only 15 voting in their favor as appears by the Yeas and Nays. A resolution was then attempted to "thank the senators," which was likewise rejected by so great a majority that the party were ashamed to call for a division.
The House of Delegates of Virginia have come to a resolution, 83 to 34 to recommend to their Senators in Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States as to the Treaty making-power of the Executive, the duration of the time of service of the Senators, and the appointment of any judicial Officer of the Union, to places or stations under the Executive.
By an arrival at Baltimore from Jeremie, we learn that all was quiet at that place, and the republicans were not in possession of it.
The business of Congress has not yet assumed an important aspect. The great subjects are before Committees. Local matters we have no room for. (Centinel.)

Copy of a Letter received by his Excellency Governor ADAMS, on Saturday last.
LISBON, OCT. 12, 1795.
ESTEEMED SIR,
It is with pleasure I inform you, that Joseph Donaldson, Esq. the Agent of the United States, on the 5th ultimo, concluded a peace with the Regency and Dey of Algiers. The Algerine Batteries saluted the banners of the
United States, which announced Peace to the Regency, and Sorrow to our Political Enemies. It will be observed, That the colors of the United States, are not free in the Mediterranean, until we are at Peace with Tunis, Tripoli, and the Ottoman Empire. The Tunisians have 12 sail of Corsairs.—They are often as far down as Barcelona, Alicante, Mahone and Toisa, Therefore, American vessels should be on their guard, and not go farther up than Malaga, until we are at Peace with all the Barbary States—when this is effected, there will be a very extensive field of Commerce opened to the Enterprise of Citizens of the United States.
Health, Peace and Prosperity to the United States, ever prays, esteemed Sir, Your most obedient Servant,
RICHARD O'BRIEN, Who was a captive in Algiers, 10 years and 40 days.
From PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 18.
Copy of a letter from Messrs. James and William Perot of Bermuda, to J. Swanwick, Esq. of this city, dated Bermuda, Nov. 2d, 1795.
"Your favour under the 13th ultimo we have received, and to which we shall attend if we are required. The bearer of this is Captain Samuel Williams, in your ship Two Friends, which we now send to the address of our brothers, Ellison and John Perot, for the purpose of receiving from you such counter security as they shall consider sufficient to bear us harmless in consequence of the speculations we have entered into on your behalf, viz. 500l. sterling to prosecute an appeal for the cargo, as also 2,200l. currency, the amount of appraisement of the ship. In the early part of the business we were refused as security for her, but in consequence of her not being condemned, a British register could not be obtained, therefore we have been permitted to take her: For particulars on that business, we refer you to Capt. Williams and Mr. Ewing, who take with them the proceedings of the court on the trial of ship and cargo. We have this day taken Captain Williams's draft on you for 1334 dollars, 50 80ths, in favour of Messrs. Ellison and John Perot, for our account, being for advances made him to get the ship to sea, as also our commission on the business. We have also this day, say 31st ult. taken Mr. Samuel Ewing's draft on you, in favour of Ellison and John Perot, for 105 dollars, supplied to him: to both of which drafts you will please to pay due honour. We are, very respectfully, dear sir, your most humble servants. (Signed)
"JAMES & WM. PEROT."
Thus a cargo, worth 30,000 dollars has been robbed, without the least shadow of pretence, from citizens of America: Security must be given for near 9000 dollars more for the ship, and nearly 2000 dollars in expenses paid. The trial at large, in which no kind of proof of the property being French, was adduced, will be published in a few days.

PORTLAND, Dec. 24.
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
"Penobscot, Dec. 9.
"A melancholy accident happened here the 4th inst. Peletiah Wescott, Joseph Wescott, and Samuel Avery, came on shore from the Schooner Freedom belonging to this port, to take off some things belonging to a gentleman going passenger in the vessel. A musket was among the articles, which was not primed, and which they supposed not charged—After the boat left the shore, Pell Wescott took up the musket, snapped it several times over the side of the boat, and then began to perform the manual exercise, and Avery gave him the word; when he came to the word Fire, he snapped the gun, which proved to be charged, and the contents were lodged in the head of Avery, just above the right eye—it blew off part of his skull, and he expired in a few minutes. Wescott says that when he snapped the gun, it was elevated above Avery's head, but in bringing it to a priming position, it went off—this appeared the more probable, as the gun had been loaded some time before, and it is likely had become a little damp. No evidence appeared to the jury of any design in Wescott, on the contrary, every circumstance was favorable. The jury was unanimous in the verdict "Accidental Death."

The Gazette published Saturday morning
BY reason of a late arrangement made in the General Post-Office with the Western Post, who circulates a large number of the GAZETTE in the country, the Editor in order to accommodate him, as well as to oblige his customers, is induced to alter the day of publication from Tuesday to Saturday; therefore, until further notice the NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE will be published and ready for subscribers by 9 o'clock on SATURDAY MORNINGS. The Editor conceives this alteration will not only best accommodate the Post, but must please the whole of his subscribers, if they will only consider that "Saturday forms the greatest market day in the week, and by this means the opportunity of forwarding the GAZETTE are multiplied in ratio, with the influx of the people from the neighbouring, or distant towns. The arrival of the Mails, at this season of the year, is peculiarly adapted to the proposed day of Editing, as all the intelligence of the week is summed up on Friday, and the very next morning, ushers the whole mass into public view."
The Editor having lately imported from the most eminent Type Foundry in Europe, a large and elegant assortment of new types, for printing the NEW-HAMPSHIRE GAZETTE, is determined to have it printed in a style that shall not reflect dishonor to the paper which has been regularly printed and extensively circulated through the State of New-Hampshire for above forty years, without the least impediment; and still continues to support its credit, and to increase in its circulation in this State, as well as in the different States as far as Georgia, which renders it a very valuable vehicle for our advertising friends, who have evidently manifested by their repeated applications, that they have always found it for their interest to have their advertisements entered in the Gazette, which always has, and still shall be done on the most moderate terms.
The Editor is induced from the liberal encouragement he has received from his advertising friends, and in order to give his customers "a quantum sufficit of intellectual food," to enlarge his paper, without increasing the price; he will therefore as soon as he can procure paper, present them with the Gazette "greatly increased in dimensions; executed on elegant new types, printed upon capital paper, replete with a rich variety of useful information, and containing all intelligence, whether foreign or domestic, which can reasonably be expected in any vehicle of general information." Authors are assured, that their productions will always find a place in the paper when presented (free from personal invectives) and secrecy strictly observed.
The Editor hopes his old customers will make it convenient to have their accounts settled up to the close of the year 1795.
Subscriptions for the Gazette are received at the Printing-Office, corner of Market-Street, at Nine Shillings per Annum, two shillings and three pence of which is to be paid at entrance, the remainder at the close of the year.
A very extensive assortment of Books & Stationary, constantly kept for sale on the lowest terms for cash, or on short credit, at said Office, where Printing of every kind is neatly executed upon Elegant new Types on very moderate terms, by the public's humble servant, J. Melcher. Portsmouth, Jan. 1, 1796.
