PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. Extract of a letter from M. CATHALAN, Vice-Consul of the United States at Mar- seilles, to the Secretary of State, dated "Marseilles, 24th August, 1792."
"I OFFER to your consideration a very interesting matter, explained in full in a memoire which I have pre- sented to the municipality of Marseilles , of which I send you here enclosed a copy, dated the 19th inst. on the sub- ject of wheat and flour, to which I beg leave to refer you. We are in the greatest apprehension of being in great need of these, so necessary commodities, and of seeing prices gradually rise from £53 a 54 per charge, of 18,290 Mar- seilles weight, (flour the same price per barrel) which they would now obtain ready money, on the wharf, to £65 be- fore next month of December, and £70 before March, on the actual course of foreign exchange and specie, rising a gain until next crop in July next."
"This memoire was so well received by the municipality that they have de- termined to write a letter to General GEORGE WASHINGTON, President of the United States of America, dated this day, which I have the pleasure of sending you here enclosed, begging you, Sir, to present to him, in the name of the town of Marseilles. I hope that the American merchants on his invita- tion will contribute to supply this town abundantly."
"You may assure them that brandies will be at moderate terms, about £45 a £40 per gal. gros of 90lb. English, they will make an advantageous remit- tance. For my part in the consular line, as well as in the commercial one, they may rely on all my endeavours to render their voyage and adventures as beneficial as possible."
"Tobacco, on the contrary, abounds now, and cannot obtain here £54 mark weight; no purchasers."
"I shall depart for Bourdeaux in two hours, to see Consul FENWICK; when arrived, I shall have the honor of addressing you, and sending a copy of this and the municipality letter. I am, &c. (Signed)
STEPHEN CATHALAN, jun."
To the PRESIDENT of the United States of America. Marseilles, 24th August, 1792, the 4th year of Liberty.
SIR, FREE nations are always in alliance, and are alike interested in affording mutual aid and assistance to each other. A common interest has already united the inhabitants of the American States to the interests of regenerated France. Their three coloured flags are unfurled upon every sea, proclaim- ing that the free Americans and French are brethren. The name of WASH- INGTON is as much revered here as at Philadelphia. It is to WASHINGTON that we address ourselves, in order to convey the sentiments of our fellow citizens to a nation for whom he has done and suffered so much.
Commerce is one of the first ties in the fraternity of mankind; and engag- ed as we are in the destructive trade of war, which unfortunately has become necessary in order to establish the cause of liberty, free citizens ought neverthe- less to leave no possible means untried to extend their commercial intercourse, and ensure the means of subsistence.
The time will arrive, and doubtless it is not far off, when the genius of liberty, having crossed the ocean, and hovered over France, will kindle over the whole earth that sacred fire which now animates our breasts. The demons of discord will then be chained up for- ever, the sword will be rendered useless, and the great bond of nations will be confidence and brotherly affection.
We have, therefore, to propose to our American brethren to form a more extensive commercial connexion with us than heretofore. Above all, we pre- sent to their view an object of specula- tion; while it supplies our wants, offers emoluments to the adventurer by no means contemptible. The article of provisions, for which we have contract- ed, cannot be supplied during the pre-
sent year, on account of the indiffer- ent crops, which are disproportionate to the quantities that Marseilles annually lays up either for the use of her own citizens, for the southern districts of France, or for a part of Spain and Italy.
Such being our situation, we have petitioned the National Assembly to grant a premium of fifty sous, per quintal, (mark weight) of grain that shall be imported from abroad into the southern districts of France: And we have reason to believe that our patriot- ic legislature will comply with our re- quest.
But this is not the only step we will take in favor of our American brethren. We will petition the executive council that the American flag be protected by the French cruising vessels of war; and we have every reason to believe that our solicitations on this subject will not be fruitless.
Exert your influence, then Sir, to engage our American brethren to ex- port to us the superfluity of their crops. Be pleased to inform them that in ex- change for their produce, they will be supplied in our port with oils and wines, besides other articles and commodities which may suit their market. Inform them, Sir, that the citizens of Mar- seilles will do every thing in their power to encourage the American trade, and that in this instance in particular they will consider a compliance with their wishes, as a proof of the fraternal friendship that exists between the two nations.
It is worthy of your character, Sir, to cherish such sentiments, the disse- mination of which will constitute the happiness of your nation. You have toiled for the liberty of your country, and by meriting the universal esteem of all nations, you have gained that, in particular, of the Mayor, Municipal Officers, and public Attorney for the community of Marseilles.

MAURRAILLE, Mayor.

BOSTON, November 21. Political Compendium.
THE AFFAIRS IN FRANCE
Interest every order of men, and are the subject of general conversation. At the date of our last accounts, the period was pregnant with great events. Be- tween two and three hundred thousand armed Freemen were in the field, en- deavoring to check nearly as large a number of veteran soldiers, under that able Commander the Duke of BRUNSW- WICK—who, educated in the school of FREDERICK THE THIRD, grown grey* in experience, and acquainted with all the vicissitudes of a soldier's life, moves on coolly and cautiously, in the direct road to Paris.—All the towns, except Thionville,† before which his armies have set down, have capitulated —Montmedy,‡ Verdun.§ and Longwy, are among the number. The most honorable terms have been granted to the several garrisons—all plundering forbid, and the horrors of war greatly lessened by the display of a liberal po- licy on both sides.—The expected de- sertions of the Germans do not take place, nor does there appear in them that spirit for Revolution, on which the Patriots of France reckoned so much. This is truth—though unde- sirable.
The French armies, commanded in chief, by Marshal LUCKNER, are daily augmented by volunteers, from whose valor, patriotism and enthusiasm, much, in time, may be reasonably expected— but lacking discipline, and not feeling full confidence in the fidelity of their officers, their operations, as yet, have been only defensive; the discipline of the troops, however, daily increases; and their suspicious officers, are lessen- ing. A general action does not ap- pear to be the wish of either comman- der—The Germans could not remedy
a defeat—and the French doubt, at present, the firmness of their forces. However, being in the vicinity of each other, some serious engagements must take place.
Spain is preparing her land and sea forces to assist the combined monarchs —and the Pope it was expected would endeavor, by force to re-establish his authority in Avignon. The Em- press of Russia, having subjugated the Poles, has an army actually on the march for France. So, that from an impartial survey of the situation of our allies, we cannot flatter ourselves in the prospect of a speedy establishment of the Revolution.—Nevertheless, a fervid spirit of freedom animates the citizens in every part of the Republic—the most active measures for defending the coun- try, are pursued; nor does a doubt ap- pear of the success of their struggles; —And although in the capital,
"Contention, like a horse, [loose, "Full of high-feeding, madly hath broke "And bears down all before it," In the other parts, a great degree of order is observed—property and per- sons are secure—the public taxes are paid—and business regularly carried on.

PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 28.
The following is His Excellency's Message deliver'd at the opening of the Hon. General- Court, which by adjournment met at Exeter on Wednesday last.
Gentlemen of the Senate, and gentlemen of the House of Representatives,
THE business that more immedi- ately requires the attention of the Legislature, is the arrangement of the militia, and making the laws of this State conformable to the law of the general government for regulating the militia. The returns that I have called for, agreeably to your directions, have not as yet been fully made—when com- pleted I shall lay them before you.
I beg leave to suggest for your con- sideration, whether it will not be pro- per at this session, to make the necessa- ry arrangements for introducing into practice, those alterations in our State Constitution, which have been made by the late Convention, and adopted by the people.
Although the general revision of the laws of the State, and the several regu- lations that have taken place, has render- ed the situation of our public affairs more eligible than they have been in years past, yet, I conceive, that in your deliberations, you will find many regula- tions in the internal police of the State, that would still further contribute to the advantage and prosperity of the people we represent. Among the things that I apprehend would tend to that important purpose, I beg leave to men- tion, the opening and keeping in re- pair convenient roads and bridges, so as to make the transportation of arti- cles through the State, and to the pub- lic markets as convenient and easy as possible: This, I conceive, will tend
to promote industry in agriculture, trade and manufactures, which (joined with proper economy) is the only true and genuine source of wealth and opu- lence in any country; perhaps giving encouragement to the opening of water communications by canals in some parts of the State might more effectually fa- cilitate the transportation of many ar- ticles, especially those of the heavier and more bulky kind; but whether a thing of this kind will be feasible and proper, I submit to your determination.
Every regulation that will have a tendency to diffuse knowledge and in- formation, and to encourage virtue, morality and patriotism among the people, especially among the youth and rising generation, cannot fail of being abundantly useful and beneficial to the State; as it is a maxim well established "That no Republic can be lasting and happy, unless accompanied with knowledge and public virtue in the people at large."
This being the season of the year, when the general and ordinary business of the State is usually taken up and acted upon by the legislature, I shall cheerfully attend to any other matters that you may think proper to be done at this time; and shall use my best en- deavors to forward the public business with as much dispatch as is consistent with that care and caution which ought to be used in transacting business of so much importance.
JOSIAH BARTLETT.
Council Chamber in Exeter, Nov. 1792, 21.
The ANSWER of the Senate and House of Representatives to His Excellency's Message.
May it please your Excellency, THE Legislature of the State of New-Hampshire, gratefully re- ceive from your Excellency, informa- tion of the public business that now more immediately calls for their at- tention.
We are deeply impressed with a sense of the great necessity of a proper ar- rangement of the Militia, and making the laws of the State conformable to the laws of the general Government: And while we assure your Excellency that no application on our part shall be wanting to accomplish this important object, we cannot but express a wish that the necessary returns may be com- pleted as soon as may be.
We esteem it highly essential that the necessary arrangements for giving the constitution of the State as altered and amended by the late convention, its full force and effect, should be made this session, and to this we shall cheer- fully give every attention—and though we view with the highest satisfaction, the happy and prosperous situation of our public affairs, we are yet deeply impressed with the necessity of further regulations of our internal Police, both to continue, enlarge and ensure that felicity, which by the gracious smiles of Heaven we now enjoy.
The opening and repairing con- venient Roads, erecting Bridges, and forming Canals for the easy, safe and expeditious transportation of articles of trade and commerce, would, while it tended to the encouragement of indus- try of every kind; at the same time greatly promote the interest and wealth of the citizens—and to these interesting purposes, we shall ever be ready to af- ford every exertion in our power.
We are fully sensible that ignorance is the parent of slavery, and that civil liberty can scarcely hold up her head, where this enemy to human happiness is not removed out of its sight.
To promote knowledge and informa- tion among the citizens of the State, to encourage morality and patriotism, to inspire the rising generation with an attachment to, and knowledge of every political and social virtue, and with that knowledge necessary to insure them; cannot fail to animate us to every exertion on our part, to promote and facilitate these important objects, while the trust reposed in us would ren- der neglect inexcusable.

The general and ordinary business of the State cannot fail of our care—and while we co-operate with your Excellency's generous and patriotic labours for the public good in general, we shall endeavor to use all the dispatch that the importance of the objects will permit, and shall deem it one of the happiest circumstances of our lives to promote and increase the security, prosperity and happiness of the State.
The Freemen of this State, have appointed for their Electors of President and Vice-President of the U. States, His Excellency JOSIAH BARTLETT, Esq. Honorable Judge PICKERING, Hon. JOHN T. GILMAN, BENJAMIN BELLOWS, EBEN THOMPSON, and JONATHAN FREEMAN, Esquires. Their meeting is to be on the first Wednesday in December next.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ DIED]—In this town, Miss SIDNEY CUTTS, the youngest daughter of Samuel Cutts, Esq. after a painful and distressing illness—which she bore with a fortitude, a courage and composure to the divine will, to be equalled only by those who possess, as she did, a mind capable of looking through the enveloped decrees of futurity, to scenes beyond the grave—and who can adopt that triumphant language of inspired writ, "O death, where is thy sting?—O grave, where is thy victory?" and if a disposition, "Calm and unruffled as the summer's sea, When not a breath of wind flies o'er its surface"—if all the virtues that could adorn the female heart—if the love and affection of her relatives and friends, could have rescued her, she had not thus so soon have paid the common debt to nature—but the bounds of man are set, beyond which he cannot pass. Fair as the opening rose that decks the vernal morn, External beauty did internal worth adorn, But ah, alas! e'er noon the floweret dies, And beck'ning angels waft her to yon skies.
Also, on Friday last, Mr. JOHN FERNALD, aged 50, In his death the community have lost a worthy member, and God has taken to himself one of the noblest of his workmanships, that of an HONEST MAN.
