WASHINGTON, MARCH 4.
MR. SEDGWICK'S FAREWELL ADDRESS,
In answer to a Resolution of the House of Representatives, in approbation of his conduct.
Accept, gentlemen, my thanks for the respectful terms in which you have been pleased to express the opinion you entertain of the manner in which I have discharged the arduous duties of the station to which I was raised by your kind regard.
Although I am conscious of having intended faithfully to execute the trust confided to this chair; yet I am sensible, that whatever success may have attended my endeavours, is justly attributable to the candid, and honorable, and firm support which you have constantly afforded; I cannot lay the least claim to merit for any thing that I have done, because the generous confidence which you had reposed in me demanded that I should devote all my feeble talents to your service.
Being now about to retire from this house, and I hope, from the public councils forever, permit me, gentlemen, to bid you, collectively and individually, an affectionate farewell.
It is true that I have long wished to indulge repose in the shade of private life; but the moment of separation inflicts an anguish not to be expressed by language; It is a separation from men of dignity, of character, of honorable sentiment and of disinterested patriotism, an association with whom it has been my pride and solace amidst all the fatigue and vexation of public life. Of the friendship (long, uninterrupted and cordial as it has been) of such men, I shall always cherish a grateful remembrance. May you receive the reward most grateful to generous spirits; the reward of witnessing, as the effects of your talents, the increasing prosperity, and happiness, and glory of your country.
As the last words I shall utter, as a public man, allow me to declare, that those with whom I have had the honor, here, to act and think: whose confidence I have enjoyed; whose bosoms have been opened to my inspection; deserve all the esteem, affection and gratitude, which their countrymen can bestow. On this occasion I deem myself authorized, from the present circumstances, to make this declaration; and I do it in the most solemn manner; in the presence of the assembled Representatives of America; and not only so, but in the awful presence of that heart-searching Being to whom I feel myself responsible for all my conduct. May the Almighty keep you in his holy protection. Farewell. THEODORE SEDGWICK.
Federal Senators sworn in on the 4th of March: Mr. Ogden, of New-Jersey, Mr. Stone, N. Carolina, Mr. Muhlenburg, Pennsylvania, Mr. White, Delaware, and Mr. Sheafe, N. Hampshire, new members; and Mr. Armstrong, of New-York, and Mr. Tracy, of Connecticut, re-elected.
GREENSBOROUGH, JAN. 19.
On Wednesday evening last, between eight and nine o'clock, a CLOUD OF FIRE passed with great velocity over this town, exciting the astonishment and apprehension of the inhabitants. The day had been exceedingly damp, and the night was dark and foggy. It passed nearly in a north direction. The whole firmament appeared in a blaze, and a dead sulphurous smell was emitted. The streets of the town were rendered as the clearest day. At about ten minutes after the appearance of the meteor, a distant rumbling noise was heard, accompanied with the quaking of the earth. It was not however severe; and could only be discerned by the clattering of the windows.
Mr. JEFFERSON being congratulated by a citizen of Baltimore, upon his election to the Presidency, he replied "It will be best to consider of, and act towards me, as was recommended by a good judge of human nature, with respect to new married persons, that is, to defer congratulations for one twelve month, in order to a discovery, from experience, whether the change of situation, from its happy effects, is deserving of them."

A PROCLAMATION.
IF we duly consider our dependence upon Divine Providence, for the blessings we enjoy; and examine how deficient we have been in making the reasonable return of grateful hearts, and obedient lives, for the many favours bestowed upon us; we must be convinced of the propriety of humbling ourselves before the benevolent Parent of the universe; acknowledging our transgressions; and supplicating divine favours. And as States and Nations, as well as individuals, are dependent upon the good pleasure of the Supreme Governor of the world, for their prosperity and happiness, I have thought fit, by and with advice of Council, to appoint THURSDAY the sixteenth Day of APRIL next, to be observed as a day of Humiliation, Fasting and Prayer throughout this State; kindly inviting ministers and people, of every denomination, to assemble on said day, at their respective places of public worship, that we may, with penitent hearts confess our transgressions; implore pardoning mercy through the Redeemer, and unitedly endeavour to keep such a Fast as the Lord our God will own and bless.
That fervent prayers be made to Almighty God for his blessing on the People and Government of this State, and of the United States.—That our Rulers may know the things which belong to the prosperity and happiness of the people; discharge the duties of their respective stations with fidelity; be a terror to evil doers and a praise and encouragement to those who do well.
That the high privileges we enjoy, in the full possession of civil and religious liberty, may be rightly estimated: and that we may duly consider the necessity of a steady adherence to Law and Order, for the preservation of our tranquility.
That those licentious principles and opinions, which have been so destructive to civil Order, Morality, and Religion, in some parts of the world, may never prevail in our land.
That true and useful knowledge may be more and more extended: faction and discord be done away: union and harmony restored; and our country preserved from anarchy and confusion.
That it would please God to bestow his blessing on our agriculture, commerce, and all our lawful employments.
That we may be preserved from war; and have health in our habitations.
That a stop may be put to the progress of vice and immorality; sobriety, virtue, and piety prevail; christian charity abound; and true and undefiled religion, be known and practised throughout the world.
And I do recommend that all persons religiously abstain from labour and recreation unbecoming the solemnity of the day.
Given at the Council-Chamber, in Exeter, this Tenth Day of March, One Thousand, Eight Hundred and One, "and of the Independence of the United States of America the Twenty-fifth.

From the BOSTON GAZETTE.
Extract of a letter from an intelligent gentleman at Calcutta, to the Editors. Dated, Oct. 25, 1800.
"Col. Willesby, the brother of the Marquis Willesby, governor general, has been successful in overthrowing an enemy, growing very formidable, in the interior. He was of the family of Tippoo Saib, a desperate and sagacious man. Col. W. has acquired, and deservedly too, great credit for his important conquest.
"The most profound darkness envelopes all the views of the government in India. Territorial acquisition seems to be its aim. Its efforts have hitherto been crowned with success. However, the commerce of the country has suffered severely for want of protection, and the cruizers of the Mauritius, range with impunity the bay of Bengal. I enclose you a paper containing an account of the capture of the Kent, Indiaman by Capt. Curcouf, of the French privateer Consistance. Would to God one or two American frigates were in the Indian Ocean. The company's ships of war Nonsooch and Cornwallis are snug in the Hoogly, while the French plunder the vessels of all countries off Sauger Island.
"I wish you to mention in your paper, that Dr. Oliver Barron, who was educated at Harvard University, studied with Dr. Warren, and has received his regular medical degrees, has established, upon the most liberal terms, a Medical Asylum for seamen and sea officers in this port. He supplies them with board, lodging, clean
cloaths, every day medicine and attendance. His Asylum is pleasantly situated, very capacious, and patronised by the principal gentlemen at this presidency. His rate of charges is so low, compared with that of other physicians at this place, as, considering him a native American, must give him a preference, in his line, over any other professional man, in the minds of American citizens."
From Liverpool, January 1801.
Boards and plank particularly Pine, are in demand; and if a war should take place with Russia, (as it would be likely to lead to one with all the northern powers) it must cause a very great rise in all sorts of Timber and Naval Stores—Staves are dull.
The opulent exportation houses have during the last 10 days purchased Coffee very largely on speculation, in consequence a rise of some shillings has been experienced.
Almost the whole flocks of British Plantation and Foreign Sugar are now in the possession of opulent speculators, it cannot therefore be doubted the prices of Havana Sugars will be high when the export season commences.
The present prices of Logwood and Fustic from America are to very low, that added to the expected increased price of Freight it may reasonably be expected these articles will be very high in England about July next if the intercourse between this country and Hamburg continues.
Tar, Turpentine, Pearl Ashes, Oak and Pine Logs, are all considerably advanced in consequence of the relative situation of this Country and Russia.
From the CENTINEL.
The Consistent Federalist—No. X.
THE FUTURE CONDUCT OF BOTH PARTIES.
Mr. Russell, I SHALL now proceed to consider as I proposed.—THIRDLY—What will be the conduct of the Federalists, if the NEW administration should support the principles which have been considered as the BASIS of the past?
The Federalists are the staunch friends of order and good Government.—They love the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION not only because it was the work of their own hands and wrought out against the zealous opposition of the Jacobins, but also because they esteem it as the only bulwark, against anarchy, confusion, and civil discord. All the measures, therefore, which they have adopted, during the twelve years in which they have administered the Government, have been intended to fortify and strengthen the CONSTITUTION against the rude attacks of anarchy and disorder. These measures have resulted, as the CENTINEL very ably and eloquently proved, on the 4th of March, in the general prosperity and welfare of the community. Even the Jacobins have at last been brought to admire the Constitution, and if they are sincere, they must commend all such measures as have a tendency to support it. Measures therefore and not MEN, being the objects for which all honest federalists contend, they are perfectly indifferent by what party, by what man, or description of men, those measures are supported.—Why then it will be asked, did they so violently oppose the election of Mr. Jefferson?
Because they feared that he was an enemy to the Federal Constitution, and they did not deem it good policy to commit it to the keeping of its foes. Should it however happen, that Mr. Jefferson shall hereafter prove himself the friend of the Constitution by giving it his zealous support:—Should he continue to pursue those measures, which experience has proved, to be productive of public and private prosperity, although they might not admire and commend the integrity of those motives which led Mr. Jefferson to condemn the past measures while looking for office, and to practice them, when office was obtained, still the Federalists would give him their utmost countenance and support.—But even if such an unexpected and happy change should take place, they could not admit that they were wrong in their former opinion of Mr. Jefferson, because that opinion was formed on evidence as clear and strong "as proof of holy writ." But they would devoutly esteem it another proof of that kind and overruling Providence, which has so often and so signally interposed in behalf of this people, and that God had been pleased to turn the heart of the President, that he should abandon all his visionary theories, and devote his talents singly to the good of the country.
In conformity to these sentiments it affords me pleasure to remark, upon the speech delivered upon his inauguration.
However opposed to Mr. Jefferson in politics, every man of classic taste, must admit, that he is one of the best writers which our country has produced.—The speech to which I have alluded, considered in relation to its language, its perspicuity, its arrangement, its felicity of thought and expression, is most certainly a model of eloquence.
But the moderation and good temper, which it discovers, entitles it to much higher commendation.—What a dignified contrast to the petulant, intemperate, ranting angry speeches, of Gov. M'Kean and Gov. Jackson!—How opposite to the virulent calumnies of the Aurora and Chronicle! If they really admire Mr. Jefferson, let them, if they are capable of it, imitate the decorum of his language, and the moderation of his temper. But the political creed which Mr. Jefferson has avowed, is really deserving the highest praise.
It is sound, correct doctrine.—It is a high and I should suppose, studied eulogium upon the past measures of the Federal Government;—and a keen and sarcastic censure

upon the clamours of Jacobins. It looks, as if he was determined to kick down the ladder by which he ascended. To the Federalists, if he is sincere and we ought not to doubt it, it is a source of high exultation: To the Jacobins of cruel mortification. Stripes inflicted by a friend are doubly severe—"And you Brutus? Then die Cæsar."
I know not of a single principle which the very warmest federalists contend for, which Mr. Jefferson does not include in his creed:—and I do not recollect a single one in that creed which the Jacobins have not at some periods opposed.
Let us analyze it. "Equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political." This the federalists always support, but the Jacobins are opposed to exact justice with any men. They were in favor of confiscating British private debts in 1794. They burnt a British vessel in our harbour in 1795, and a Charlesstown Jacobin can tell, why the Jury would not agree. Again, "Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none." These are high federal sentiments; but the Jacobins have recommended giving up our commerce as I have before proved. They are for perpetual discord with Great-Britain, and are always fomenting it; and they have abused Mr. Adams and Congress for getting rid of the "entangling alliance" with France. Again, "The support of the State Governments in all their rights as the most competent administrations for our domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies." The federalists are in favour of supporting the State Governments in their proper sphere, but the Jacobins are for diminishing their influence by transferring the election of Electors to the People, by means whereof the influence of the body politic is lost, and it becomes merely an election of the people of the United States en masse .
Again—"The preservation of the General Government in its whole constitutional vigor as the sheet anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad." This the Federalists are ever striving to inculcate; but the Jacobins consider the National Government as a foreign one; as an object of jealousy and hatred. They tried to destroy its constitutional power by the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions. "A jealous care of the right of Election by the people." This is what federalists have been always desirous to maintain, and for this purpose they have been perpetually labouring to procure a law to regulate the proceedings at elections; "Absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority." This doctrine is truly federal, but the Jacobins have been in the uniform habit of violating this principle.
The residue of this excellent creed, I shall more fully consider hereafter. Whether Mr. Jefferson is sincere or not, we are certainly indebted to him for his public testimonial of the correctness of our principles. If he should hereafter go astray and deviate from these maxims, we shall be able to contrast his conduct with his professions, & thus expose him to public censure. If on the other hand he shall support them by his measures, he will find the federalists among the most zealous and sincere friends and supporters of his administration.
In that event, to be sure, he will lose many of his present partisans.—Already they begin to fret and foam at his moderation and good sense—and should he continue to walk in the paths of virtue and common sense, which are those of federalism, he must expect to experience from his present supporters all that acrimony and abuse which has so unjustly been bestowed on his predecessors. It is the privilege of merit to be calumniated, but he should solace himself for the loss of his present adherents by the reflection, that what he loses in numbers, will be replaced in character, good sense and property.

Late Accounts from EUROPE, BY RECENT ARRIVALS.
LONDON, JAN. 26. Yesterday we received Paris papers to the 21st. The French official paper announces the signing of the neutral convention at Peterburgh, Dec. 16, by the ministers of Russia, Sweden & Denmark, as principals; and by that of Prussia next day, as acceding to it. The same paper contains a French order that respect shall be paid to the Russian flag; an official letter from the French General in chief in Italy, declaring he will subscribe no armistice till Mantua, Peschiera, Ferrara and Ancona are surrendered. The paper contains an order to assemble an army of observation at Bourdeaux—the commander to correspond with the Ambassador at Madrid. A grand naval review is ordered on the 20th of February at Brest, Rochfort, L'Orient and Toulon. The French official paper violently censures the British order for embargoing Swedish and Danish vessels. We have for some time been informed of the intentions of the King of Prussia to occupy Hanover and Hamburg. The motives are not certainly known. It may be the most preferable of the evils which impend over those places.—The army at Bourdeaux excites apprehensions for the safety of Portugal. The surrender of Ancona to the French which is expected, and the humiliation of Austria, threaten an interruption of our communication with the Adriatic sea—and the influence of Russia it is feared will destroy our communication with Naples and Sicily. [This is from The Times , a reputed ministerial paper, which Porcupine charges, however, with having the same views as the opposition papers—though employing different means.]
BERLIN, JAN. 17. The terms in which Lord Grenville replied to Count Rostopchin, the Russian Chargé d'Affaires, in answer to his representations respecting the capture of Malta, are stated to be in substance as follows: "That all explanations asked by Russia were useless, as the Court of London, was under the necessity of insisting on the embargo and the sequestration imposed by the Emperor Paul being taken off, and upon indemnity for what had passed; that the convention relative to Malta, the execution of which was demanded by the Court of Peterburgh, was merely a plan submitted by that Court to the British Administration in answer to which they had sent back their plan; but before the Cabinet of London had sent their Answer, the Court of Peterburgh had dismissed their Ambassador Lord Whitworth; that the negotiations of the Court of Peterburgh to organize an armed neutrality by sea had made the greater impression on the Court of London, because Russia had proposed to Great Britain to prevent, in conjunction with her, the contraband trade which was carried on with France under Danish and Swedish colors; that if a good understanding were to take place between the two Courts, the first measure to be taken would be the re-establishment of the Diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the mutual interchange of new ambassadors to be bro't about by the mediation of a neutral Court friendly to both Powers."
in answer to which they had sent back their plan; but before the Cabinet of London had sent their Answer, the Court of Peterburgh had dismissed their Ambassador Lord Whitworth; that the negotiations of the Court of Peterburgh to organize an armed neutrality by sea had made the greater impression on the Court of London, because Russia had proposed to Great Britain to prevent, in conjunction with her, the contraband trade which was carried on with France under Danish and Swedish colors; that if a good understanding were to take place between the two Courts, the first measure to be taken would be the re-establishment of the Diplomatic relations between the two countries, and the mutual interchange of new ambassadors to be bro't about by the mediation of a neutral Court friendly to both Powers."
SUMMARY. It is said, that the Turkish Government have detained the Algerine and Tunisian ambassadors, because the former had made peace with France, and with the latter captured some Turkish vessels. The American frigate was directed to strike the Algerine flag.
The British Channel fleet returned to port Jan. 22, on account of damage in late gales—a squadron was left to watch the enemy. The fleet was to sail again the first wind.
A vast number of private armed ships are expected to be fitted out by the nobility and gentry in case of a new war—to be at the disposal of government.
There are a great variety of reports of the probable business of the new Parliament.
The Elector of Bavaria has made a separate peace with France.
The Duke of Kent is to be Chief Magistrate in Ireland.
The price of grain continued to rise in England.
Information from Berlin has created hopes that Prussia will maintain her neutrality notwithstanding her agreeing to the northern league.
It is said the northern confederacy promises Malta to Russia.
It is asserted that the Cisalpine territory is to be prepared as the retreat of Bonaparte, when he retires from the head of the French Government; and that he intends to establish an hereditary consulate there.
An entertainment was given in London Jan. 19, by Ld. Grenville to Noblemen and Foreign Ministers. Among the guests was the Hon. Oliver Ellsworth.
LONDON, JAN. 27. The Channel Fleet failed again for its old station on Friday last.
FEB. 2. We received this morning by express, Paris Papers to the 26th. one day later than those which arrived on Saturday. An article in one of the unofficial Papers, dated Madrid, Jan. 10, contains the following important particulars:
"An Ambassador is on the point of departing from Madrid for Lisbon, with a proposal on the part of France and Spain that Portugal shall immediately form an intimate alliance with these powers, or declare her determination not to abandon her connection with Great Britain, should she accede to the former proposition she will be required to shut her ports against British shipping, and declare war against England."
It is confidently stated in the same article, that permission has been granted by the Cabinet of Madrid for the march of the French army, now assembling at Bourdeaux, through the Spanish territory against Portugal.
"A detachment of troops was ordered to hold itself in readiness to leave Madrid, and co-operate with the republicans."
FEB. 4. Meetings are calling in various places to agree upon petitions to the King in favour of peace. At several meetings such petitions have been determined on.
FEB. 5. In the second edition of our paper yesterday, we announced the arrival of French Papers to the 1st inst. and informed our readers that they contained the important intelligence of peace having been signed at Lunéville, between the Emperor of Germany, and the French Republic.—The treaty is not to be published till his Imperial Majesty's engagements cease with this country, viz. on the 28th of February.
A Lisbon mail arrived this morning, bro't by the Prince Adolphus Packet in seven days. The letters state, that all apprehensions of any attack upon Portugal have ceased, and that an arrangement has been entered into.
General Armistice.
Gen. Brune has concluded an armistice with Gen. Bellegarde, in Italy. It contains 15 articles.—The principal of which stipulate, that there shall be a suspension of arms until the 25th January, exclusive of 15 days notice:—That the Austrians shall surrender to the French the cities and castles of Peschiera, Sermione, Verona, Legnago, Ferrara, and Ancona:—That the French line of demarcation shall follow the left bank of the Livenza from the sea to its source, over Mount Maure, thence descends into the valley of Lukang by Aigge, then up to Linz, where it meets the line of demarcation in Germany. The Imperial army shall take the right bank of the Tagliamento from the sea to its source near Mount Maure, &c. This armistice was concluded at Treviso, the 16th Jan. A Paris article adds, by a Convention signed at Lunéville, the day before yesterday (Jan. 26) Mantua is also surrendered to the French.
Peace between France & Germany. We have received Paris papers to the 1st inst.—They contain the important intelligence of PEACE HAVING BEEN SIGNED at Lunéville, between the Emperor of Germany and the French Republic. The treaty is not to be published until His Imperial Majesty's engagements cease with Great-Britain, viz. on the last day of February.
Northern League.
The Paris Journals to the 22d January, relates that Prussia had subscribed to the Treaty of Northern Neutrality, at Peterburgh, on the 17th Dec. the day after it had been signed by Russia, Denmark, and Sweden.
The Paris Moniteur does not intimate that there was any reservation made upon the part of Prussia in this act, so contrary to her professions to her faith, and to her real interest; and which, if correctly stated, is meant to strike at the most vital part of Britain, by suspending our commerce and communications with the north of Europe.
Another paper says, The Prussian Minister dissented from the article which imports, that Neutral vessels, which should present themselves before a blockaded port without being apprized in time of the blockade, should have a right to enter it freely. It is further stated, that his Prussian Majesty, in addition to Ingerndorff and other districts in Silesia, is to have the city of Hamburg.
The basis of the late Convention rests on the same as that of 1780.
A treaty just concluded between Russia and Sweden, stipulates, that the two powers shall concur in retaking Malta.
Peace between Russia and France.
PARIS, JAN. 20. At seven o'clock yesterday morning, a Russian officer arrived here, in 17 days from Peterburgh, and immediately set off to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who is in the country. He is the bearer of a letter to the Chief Consul, in the hand-writing of the Emperor PAUL.
The following Article, which has resulted from these dispatches, was promulgated this morning.
ACT OF THE GOVERNMENT. 30th Nivôse, 9th year, (Jan. 19) The Consul of the Republic, on the report of the Minister of the Exterior, decree, "All vessels of the Republic, and all cruisers bearing the French flag, are forbid to interrupt the ships of war, or the commerce of the Emperor of all the Russias, or of his subjects."
"On the contrary, it is directed, that all French vessels shall afford succour and assistance to the ships of Russia."
"All prizes of Russian vessels which may be made after the 1st Ventose, (Feb. 19) shall be declared null by the Council of Prizes."
"The Ministers of Foreign Affairs and of Marine and Colonies, are charged with the execution of the present decree, which shall be inserted in the Bulletin of the Laws."
(Signed) BONAPARTE. "By order of the First Consul, "MARET, Secretary of State." JAN. 23.
France and Portugal.
The Consuls of the French Republic, by a decree, dated 15th Jan. have directed an army to assemble at Bourdeaux. To be commanded by a Lt. General; who shall correspond directly with the Minister at War, and with the Ambassador of the Republic at Madrid. This measure created great alarm in Portugal; but a London paper of Feb. 5th says, "A Lisbon mail arrived this morning in 7 days. The letters state that all apprehensions of an attack upon Portugal have ceased, and that an arrangement had been entered into. What the nature of it is we are not informed. It is said the French intend detaching Portugal from Great-Britain; and force her to refuse admission into her ports to British vessels."
PHILADELPHIA, MARCH 9.
No appointment for the office of Secretary of the Treasury, has been made. Our advices from Washington state, that on the morning of the 5th, Mr. Dexter waited on the President, for the purpose, it was understood, of resigning that office—that after having a long conference with Mr. Jefferson, he had returned to the duties of the Treasury.—This circumstance has been caught hold off by conjecture, and has induced a belief in some that Mr. Dexter will be continued. Others however, confidently affirm that Albert Gallatin will receive the appointment. The Senate having adjourned on Thursday, sine die , the President will have the sole disposal of all new vacancies, agreeably to the following paragraph of the Constitution: "The President shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen, during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions, which shall expire at the end of their next session."
The public property of the United States in the city of Washington, is estimated at 50,000 dollars.
In the New-York House of Assembly, a resolution declaring "that imprisonment for debt is contravened after September next, ought to be forever abolished" within that State, has passed—Yeas 64—Nays 25.
BOSTON, March 20.
A French frigate of 36 guns bound to Norfolk, was spoken in lat. 36, 40, near the coast. If this is true, she probably brings out citizen Pichon, to reside here in a diplomatic character.
Feb. 19. A report prevailed at St. Kitts, that the American vessels at Guadalupe had been stopped, in consequence of a rumour, that the treaty was rejected.
The Philadelphia underwriters and merchants have held meetings for adopting measures to obtain documents respecting recent depredations, to be submitted to the Federal Executive.
NEWBURYPORT, MARCH 20.
LATE INTELLIGENCE, Communicated by Capt. Parsons from Smyrna.
From the best information I could obtain, the frigate George Washington would be ready to leave Constantinople by the 1st of Jan. 1801, but without the Algerine ambassador, as the Grand Seigneur had imprisoned him and taken care of the presents, having declared war against them and the Tunisians in consequence of their making peace with France. They have also taken a Tunisian Admiral that was there with presents, and confiscated all the property of both nations. What was found at Smyrna before I failed amounted to two millions of piastres and upwards.
PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 24.
JOHN ADAMS, Esq. late President of the United States, has arrived at his seat in Quincy.
From Philadelphia March 11.
Mr. Dawton, member of Congress from Virginia, is certainly appointed to carry the treaty to France—and will sail in a few days in the Maryland Hoop of war.
We hear from Washington, that Mr. Dexter, will resign his office in May, and Mr. Gallatin will be appointed; that Mr. Stoddart will resign, and that Mr. Langdon has declined appointment to his place. Phila. Gaz.
