HOPE for OLD BACHELORS!
Even when past 50! Or, a remarkable instance of an Old Bachelor's Marrying at the age of 52, and having and bringing up Children. From Thomas's Massachusetts Spy, &c. Southampton, Feb. 21, 1795.
Mr. THOMAS,
I f you think the following statement worth offering to the readers of your Spy, you may present it as a real fact. I brought an action to the Court, now sitting, against Percival Allen, of Hopkinton, in the county of Washington; and on the back of the writ, beneath the Officer's return, was the following statement:
"The Defendant was an old Bachelor until he was 52 years old, and then married, and had eight children by his wife, with whom he lived sixteen years, and then buried her, and has lived a widower 44 years, and is now a healthy, smart, active man, 112 years old."
I believe there can be no doubt of the truth of this statement; for I have been this day talking with one of his sons, who also confirms the truth of the above fact. And he himself, viz. Thomas Allen, son of the said Percival Allen, is now 58 years old, and begins to talk of courting. Three of his brothers are now living, and none of them have been married. Yours, &c. SOLOMON FRENCH.

Some proceedings of the New Government of Holland.
HAGUE, Jan. 27.
National Assembly of Holland. January 27, 1795.
This day, the second sitting of the Provisional Assembly, respecting the PEOPLE of Holland, it was decreed in the name of the Assembly.
It is ordered that advices be sent to the Colonies, in the two Indies of the Revolution; that our Consuls in the Mediterranean and Baltic, be also informed, and that all our ships, which may be found, be put on guard, against surprise.
It is also ordered, to all Commanders of the vessels of the State, that they no longer obey the order of the ci-devant Admiral General (the Stadholder)—that they bring their vessels into the ports of the Republic, with all possible dispatch; and in case of any difficulties, that they go into the ports of the Republic, which shall be most convenient.—That the Commanders of all our vessels in the two Indies, and the Officers of the Colonies, be ordered to act upon the defensive only until further orders.
That a cartel be sent to England, to order all the commanders of vessels of the State, and of the East-India Company, and merchant vessels which shall be found, to immediately return with their vessels to the ports of the Republic, and to demand them of the British Government, in case it should oppose their departure; as there is a report of a General Embargo upon all Dutch vessels in the ports of Great Britain; and to make arrangements for re-establishing the Packet boats.
LONDON, Feb. 19.
ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS.
To the commanders of our ships of war, and privateers, that have or may have, letters of marque against France.
Given at our court at St. James's, the 9th day of February, 1795, in the 31st year of our reign.
George R.
1. That they shall bring into the ports of this kingdom, all Dutch vessels bound to or from any ports in Holland, in order that they, together with their cargoes, being Dutch property, may be detained provisionally; and that speedy restitution shall be made of all such cargoes (or the value thereof) found on board the same, as shall appear to belong to proprietors being the subjects of allied or neutral powers.
11. That they shall bring into the ports of this kingdom, all ships, to whatever country they may belong, which shall be found, laden with naval or military stores, and bound to any ports in Holland, in order that the said cargoes may be detained provisionally; a full Indemnification being given by our government to the owners and masters of all such vessels, belonging to the subjects of the allied or neutral powers, as may be brought in in consequence hereof, and likewise to the proprietors of such cargo, being subjects of allied or neutral powers.
By his Majesty's command,
PORTLAND.
Condensed Miscellaneous Articles.
The question—'War or Negotiation,' has been the subject of long been the subject of long deliberation in the Spanish council of state: but as the Duke d'Alcudia, the favourite, confiders keeping his place and continuing the war as synonymous, and without having a Habeas Corpus to suspend, is in the practice of banishing those who differ with him in opinion, the decision is for war, with only two dissenting voices. In the mean time, recruits for the army cannot be got, and the paper money lately issued, already loses 15 per cent.
Ambassadors from Denmark and Sweden have already arrived in Holland, with a view as it was generally understood, of conciliating the mercantile interest in that country. Measures were intended to be taken with a view of still keeping up the commercial intercourse between that nation and this.
Many of the articles which had been demanded by the French, had been provided, and were ready to be furnished according to the terms of the requisition.
Paris accounts state that Gregoire, a celebrated member of the Convention has received a dangerous wound by a fall.
The Earl of Abingdon was this day brought into the court of King's Bench to receive judgment for a libel on Mr. Sermon.
His Lordship was sentenced to three months imprisonment in the King's Bench, and a fine of 100l. and to find security for his future good behavior.
[The cause of this trial was, Lord Abingdon's having, in the House of Lords, reflected on the character of Mr. Sermon, a gentleman employed by his Lordship's trustee, as an attorney, and in doing which Lord Abingdon reflected on the profession generally. His privilege as a Peer preserved him from prosecution so far; but having, afterwards, written his speech, and paid Mr. Woodfall for publishing it, the matter became actionable, and terminated as above—much to the credit of the English court of Justice.]
DUTCH NAVY.
According to the most authentic accounts of the present state of the Dutch navy, it is thought, that if great exertions are made, 27 sail of the line may be ready for sea in the course
of a fortnight or three weeks, and that to these in the space of three months, about 12 sail more may be added. It should be recollected, however, that the Dutch line of battle ships are almost entirely third rates.
PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 17.
The following ships are fitted with 8 months stores, supposed to be destined for the Cape of Good Hope, and the East-Indies, and will sail, it is reported, on Sunday next, viz.
America, 64 Capt. Blankett. Ruby, 64 Capt. Stanhope. Stately, 64 Capt. B. Douglass. Echo, sloop of war.
PLYMOUTH, Feb. 15.
Earl Howe, with the fleet under his command, sailed from Torbay this morning, and is now off the Sound, with a tolerable breeze of wind at North, standing to the westward.
About 300 sail of merchantmen have also sailed with the above, and there remain about 150 sail more in the harbor, all of whom are using the greatest exertions to get out to join his lordship, who, if the wind continues favourable, will now certainly go down channel, and protect the before-mentioned valuable outward bound fleet, to a certain latitude.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 21.
An Embargo has, we understand, been laid upon the shipping in every port throughout the kingdom, until the complement of men, can be procured for the Manning of his Majesty's Navy, according to the plan of the minister, now before the House of Commons. The embargo took place in London, on Monday last, and the express arrived here yesterday morning, in consequence, several vessels which had failed out of dock, were ordered immediately to return.
From the MONITEUR UNIVERSAL.
February 5, Pluvios 17th.
PARIS, Pluvios 17th.
We are informed on good authority, that an insurrection continues to spread throughout the territories of the seven United Provinces; the French, as they proceed into the country, find every where the burghers up and organized into national guards; the aristocratical regencies driven away, the chiefs secured and worthy patriots chosen by the people to replace the Stadtholderians; and Paulinus, author of several valuable works upon the Rights of the People, who was bold enough to publish even in Holland under his name two years ago, a Treatise on the Rights of Man, has just been elected grand pensioner of the regenerated States of Holland.
This citizen had been already at the helm of the affairs of government as first minister of the Dutch marine; but his candor and his love for liberty having displeased the Stadholder, and more especially his wife, he was dismissed after the revolution of 1787, notwithstanding the want they had of his abilities. Animated with the desire of seeing his country free, he came to France in 1788. But the old French government neglected the important overtures that Paulinus was eager to give them. He was, from that moment, convinced of the inefficacy of the cabinet of Versailles which could no longer assume in Europe, that character of grandeur which was becoming to the first nation of the universe. He forefaw that, unless a complete revolution should take place in the form of government, the people of France were going to be exposed to the highest pitch of humiliation abroad, and to the most dreadful evils at home; in short, he thought that the machine was entirely rotten. Paulinus went to Brest in order to visit the Docks of the French marine. The piercing eye of the commissioner found there, in spite of the most shameless dilapidations, immense resources to create one day so powerful a navy as to make England tremble.
Hence this patriot no longer dispaired of the public salvation in France, nor of a future deliverance of Holland, and thus he explained the matter to his friends and especially to the editor of this paper.
QUEBEC, March 16.
Hurricane on the South Shore.
ON Sunday the 8th inst a most violent gust of wind from the south began to blow at 9 o'clock in the morning, and continued raging without intermission till half past 12 at noon. Our correspondent informs us, that it extended its fury from the river du Sud to Trois Pistoles. It is estimated that in houses, barns and other out-houses, not less than a hundred have been destroyed and materially damaged; in the parish of St. Anne alone forty-three have been blown down in whole or in part, and the roofs of all of them carried away. Several lives have been lost; and one child burnt in a barn where she ran for shelter from the house, the wind carrying the sparks from the chimney of the house to the barn which set it on fire; several head of cattle were also burnt in the barn.
It is apprehended that the damage done by this tempest, far exceeds the accounts, that have hitherto been received.
BALTIMORE, April 8.
Directions respecting FIGUEIRA BAR. Cape Mondego lies in lat. 40, 12, about 17 leagues south of Oporto. In coming round the Cape into Buarcos road, you must give it a birth of from 1-2 to 3-4 of a mile. If the weather admits, a pilot goes off from Buarcos, and leaves a pilot with the vessel. On the north side of the bar, is the castle of St. Catharine, on which the
colors are hoisted as a signal for the vessels coming to the bar. The pilot and boat are there to direct them at entering: but it is necessary to observe the following signals.
If the colors on the castle are kept flying and a gun fired—it is to push for the bar with all the sail you can set.
If a gun is fired from the castle and no colors hoisted—to go off to sea.
If the colors are hoisted and hauled down again at the beginning of the flood—for the vessel to ply on and off, and wait for the tide.
If the colors are hoisted and hauled down and a gun fired—to go to sea.
At full and change, it is high water at half past two.
Any vessel that comes consigned to F. and M. Archer and Co. are desired to hoist their ensign at the main peak, and pendant at the fore-top-mast head, that they may be known, and every assistance will be given them that may be required.

Extract of a letter from the West-Indies, to a merchant in this town, dated Feb. 28, 1795.
"Dear Sir,
"I am sorry to inform you, that the yellow fever rages here nearly as bad as ever. I would with you to be as cautious as possible, or else you may expect to have it with you this summer, perhaps worse than the last. If you begin in time, I make but little doubt of your keeping clear of it. You cannot be too particular, in having vessels, from every part of the West-Indies, examined before they are admitted to pass your fort. I am in hopes of hearing from you shortly. I remain yours, &c."
PHILADELPHIA, April 9.
On Tuesday arrived in town one of the crew belonging to the schooner John, of Philadelphia, Capt. Woodman, who informs, that 4 days after the John had failed from Gonaives, under Heneaga, she was boarded by a New-Providence privateer schooner, the Captain of which examined Capt. Woodman's papers, and politely dismissed him, at the same time giving him notice of a Bermudian privateer brig, which was then a head of him, telling him that if he was boarded by her she would certainly make a prize of him.
Shortly after the John was boarded by the above privateer brig, which took out all her papers, together with the crew, the Capt. and supercargo excepted, and ordered the John for Bermuda.
Important and Official.

Extract of two letters from Mr. Samuel Bayard, agent of the United States at London, to the Secretary of State, viz.
"December 15, 1794.
"Our Consul Mr. Johnson, has acted as agent in several cases, all of which except two, have been brought to a decision; but in none of them he informs me, has any important or leading point been settled." "From all I have seen or heard however, thus far, I am happy to say that there appears to be a sincere disposition in the constituted authorities here, to do us full and impartial justice."
"February 2, 1795.
I shall "in all cases when documents and proofs are wanting, state the defects immediately to you, and (when opportunities offer) write also to the owners and claimants"; but as some time must elapse, before I can have ascertained the proofs that must be forwarded, in addition to those already in my possession, in all the cases under my charge, I think it expedient to send you a statement of the evidence that in general is requisite for the prosecution of a claim or appeal, that the merchants of the United States, who have forwarded their papers may be informed in what respect their proofs are deficient, and those who have not, may without delay, at once, send complete sets of papers for the prosecution of their suits.
The proofs generally necessary for this purpose, are:
1. Evidence of the claimants or appellants being citizens of the United States at the time of the capture of their vessels or property. 2. Proof of the vessel and cargo, or part, and what part, being their property. 3. In order to which it is in most cases necessary to forward.— 1. The protests made by the master, officers and men belonging to the vessel. 2. Copies of the ship's papers on board at the capture. 3. Copies of letters, invoices, bills of lading, &c. relating to the property claimed. 4. Certificates of respectable merchants of the value of the articles on board at the time of the capture. 5. Statements of the loss sustained, the expenses incurred and the costs of suits that may have been paid. 6. The policies of insurance, or when they cannot be had, copies of them.
These should all be provided on the oath or affirmation of disinterested persons, where that can be done, and where it cannot, by that of the party concerned, before some magistrate or notary public, and proof of the office and qualification of such magistrate or notary public should be made under the hand and seal of a British consul, clerk or prothonotary of a county or supreme court of a state, of a district or circuit court, or the supreme court of the United States, or under the great seal of a State.
In cases of appeals, authenticated copies of the proceedings in the Vice Admiralty Courts—together with the matters of evidence above described, should be procured and forwarded, as soon as possible.
Wherever there has been a condemnation in the Vice Admiralty Courts abroad, without a claim having been regularly interposed—then both a claim for the property condemned, and an appeal from the sentence complained of must be entered here.
The foregoing are truly extracted from the originals.

NEW-YORK, April 7.
Mr. JAY'S TREATY.
Extract of a letter from Mr. James Codwise, to his father in this city, dated London, Dec. 11.
"I have seen Mr. Jay but once since my arrival, on account of my having much to attend to. He informs me, that AMPLE SATISFACTION WILL BE MADE FOR ALL AMERICAN PROPERTY UNLAWFULLY CONDEMNED BY THE BRITISH.
"I stated to him our cause which he thinks is very clear, and advises me to appeal immediately; and says, that as soon as the Treaty which he has made, is ratified, Congress will appoint too commissioners and this court the same—who will appoint an umpire and decide all cases that is cast off by the court of appeals, that the captors will be obliged to refund the property—those that are insufficient, GOVERNMENT IS BOUND TO MAKE GOOD."
APRIL 15.
Capt. Robins of the schooner Colley, from Port-au-Prince, last from Archave, informs us, that a few days before he left Port-au-Prince, the brigands had made an attack on the British posts, at that place, in which they proved unsuccessful—that the slaughter on both sides was great; a British Col. Malcom, having fallen in the engagement. The British pushed on their victory, took possession of the French camp, and spiked up their guns, but were unable to retain it. Capt. Robins, mentions, that the fortifications around Port-au-Prince, are in a complete state of defence, and that it cannot be taken except by storm.
The Providence, Palmer, and Sally, King, were at Port-au-Prince, when Capt. Robins left it.
Last Sabbath day, Captain Spotwood arrived at this port, in 77 days from Brest, in the barque, Cæsar; but his Parisian accounts were not to late by several days, as those before received via Philadelphia.
Same day came up the Active, Capt. Colden, in 49 days from Liverpool, bringing London papers to Feb. 14, two days later than we have before had.
It is said dispatches from Mr. Jay, to the executive of the United States came by the Active.
The accounts by this arrival, state, that a total change in the Spanish ministry had taken place; that every hour is expected to be the last of the King of Sardinia; that the Corsicans, finding they were deceived, when told that it was impossible for France to hold out against the combination, have revolted in formidable insurrection against Paoli and his party; that the Italian states are fadly apprehensive of a visit from the French. That Kosciusko still lives; we leave him escorted to Petersburg, a prisoner; and the veteran Polish army, 30,000 strong, in want of provisions, pursued by Russians and Prussians. That the corporation of the city of Salisbury have addressed the King on the subject of peace; that 56 of the inhabitants of Liverpool addressed the Mayor of that city, requesting a general meeting to be called to consider of the propriety of addressing the King, which was opposed by another signed by 300 inhabitants; in consequence of which the Mayor declined calling the meeting; that the impression of sea and land's-men for the navy had re-commenced with great vigor; a number of the merchants of Liverpool had declared a preference of a general embargo being laid on their outward bound trade, to the taking seamen out of their vessels, which must have a partial operation.
Admiral Murray's fleet is making sad havoc among the American vessels on our southern coasts.
PROVIDENCE, April 18.
By Capt. WHIPPLE, who arrived here on Thursday evening in 7 days from Charleston, we learn, that on the evening of the 5th instant, off Charleston bar, an action took place between the French privateer brig Gen. Polaski's mounting 16 six pounders, and the Bermudian privateer ship Sir Charles Grey, mounting 18 twelve and 2 six pounders. The brig had a valuable prize ship in tow from Jamaica for London laden with 400 hogheads of sugar, 100 hogheads of rum, and a quantity of cotton.—After a severe engagement, the republicans beat off the ship notwithstanding her superiority in number of guns and weight of metal, and got the prize into Charleston; the latter however lost her masts on the bar. The brig had manned nine prizes previous to this action, and was preparing to sail immediately in quest of the Bermudian.

RICHARD CUTTS SHANNON.
Portsmouth, April 24, 1795.

That the humanity of a nation is not more conspicuous than that of America is already proved:—We feed them that curse us.—Yesterday I was surprised to see the audacity of an armed sloop which came here to purchase live stock and other provisions, for the use of his upright Majesty's fleet, stationed on our coast—there is one also arrived at Portland, and others are sent to the westward of us; they have sent one to different ports, in order that they may obtain it with more ease, and serve as blinds to our eyes.—Can America tamely see those pirates come here for provisions, when they can take our vessels within the limits of the United States, as they did the Pomona of Baltimore, from France, where they found cash enough to purchase a large quantity of provisions, and pay us with our brothers' money.—They have been denied provisions to the Southward, why then should we supply them from the Northward, when we always had the credit of being true Republicans, till now;—Americans awake, let not our enemies mock at our calamity! rather let them know that we are able to judge for ourselves, instead of having them for our Judges .—There may a time come, when France will call us to an account for our past behavior to her; it would be far better for us, did we favor the French more than we do, and the English less:—mind that.
A WHIG of '75.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 21.
Great-Britain, according to the statement of her Secretary at War, will have in pay, the ensuing campaign, two hundred and twenty-two thousand six hundred and fifty-six men. The money which this swindled nation has already paid to the royal sharper of Prussia, from April to September, 1794, is one million, two hundred thousand pounds. This enormous sum has been generally advanced him for defending his own dominions.
NEW-YORK, April 17.
Extract of a letter from the American Consul at Nantz, to his correspondent in this city, dated Feb. 6, 1795.
"We embrace with pleasure this opportunity to give you the satisfactory news, that full payment for freight and demurrage agreeable to charter, partly has been received, in specie, by Capt. Puller, of the Mary, and Capt. Glad, of the Goddess of Liberty, both belonging to your port. Capt. Puller's demurrage alone, amounted to near 11,000 dollars.
"The committees of government have constantly declared that we might assure all the American Captains that they might remain easy, and rely on the justice of the French republic, for full payment of demurrage, until the last minute which has been effected by the examples above mentioned.
"Flour is still much wanted, we have sold a parcel yesterday consigned to us from Philadelphia, for 15 dollars per barrel; rice 8 dollars."
APRIL 18.
The following American vessels were advertised in a Liverpool paper of the 21st February, to wit—
 Ship Manchester, Cox, Philadelphia,  Dianna, Clay, do. for do.  Union, Whitlock, New-York, for N. Y.  Elizabeth, Kennedy, do. for do.  Port Mary, Perry, do. for do.  Fame, Halliburton, for Boston,  Perseverance, Delano, for do.  Brig Elizabeth, Turner, for do.—and the Ship Sarah, Cunningham, for Baltimore—which was daily expected from Amsterdam, at Liverpool. 
Capt. Edwards of the brig Hero, 48 days from Liverpool, informs that he failed from thence in company with the ship Boston Packet for this port. Spoke the following vessels, the 20th ult. in lat. 41, 20, long. 48, 30, spoke the ship Union, Capt. Johnson, of and from Baltimore, bound to London, out 12 days, all well.
The 27th do. in lat. 49, 5, long. 55, 30, spoke the brig Thomas, of Hudson, Capt. Jenkins, from New-York, out 16 days, all well.—The 2d inst. in lat. 39, 30, long. 65, 30, spoke the ship Hope, of Providence, R. I. Captain Warren, from thence 3 days out, bound to Hamburg, all well.—same time spoke the brig Maria, Captain Shelden, from Providence, R. I. bound to Brest.
BOSTON, April 23.
From ST. LUCIA,
we learn, that the planters of that island have all fled, and left their property at the disposal of the French. Several of these distressed exiles came passengers in the schooner Hannah, bound to Kennebec.
THE TIDE OF LIBERTY,
which first oozed in a revulet from an American spring, is now overflowing Europe with the exuberance of the Nile. Having moistened the new world with its richest fertility, and laved the plains of our sister republic, it will shortly break in a deluge, on the age-rooted monarchies, which molest her. Borne down by the torrent, the proud fabrics of thrones, battiles and palaces, will be immersed in oblivion, and the scattered wrecks of royalty.
"Apparent, rari, nantes, in gurgite vasto."
THE FRENCH
are resolved to humble the pride of Great-Britain. The conquest of Holland is a severe stroke. The West-Indies are in a fair way of suffering a general revolution. The French
have destroyed the English settlements at Sierra Leone in Africa; a squadron is undoubtedly detached to take possession of the cape of Good-Hope, a port from whence a few frigates will much annoy the English trade to the East-Indies. The Irish wait only for support to give Great-Britain serious trouble; and Corsica is ripe for insurrection.
In Italy the French are forming alliances. Genoa and Tuscany have already admitted their ministers in spite of the remonstrances of the British ambassadors.
In Turkey their influence is very considerable. The policy of the Porte is to take the first favorable opportunity to abridge the power of Russia, and vindicate the honor of the Ottoman empire. French workmen are employed in constructing ships of line in the Black-sea. Turkish engineers are employed in disciplining Turkish troops.
In every part of Europe great events seem to be preparing, and the philosopher and the merchant, are anxiously waiting for their accomplishment.
IN SPAIN
the republican arms are irresistible— Fequiras and Roses have already surrendered; Gironne , Barcelon , Villencho are besieged, and their conquest may be daily expected. Madrid , the seat of government, will then be " left to its fate ." In that capital, symptoms of a revolutionary spirit have lately made a formidable appearance. On the 24th February, an insurrection took place there, which could not be quelled without the effusion of blood. Fourteen of the discontented were killed, and 400 committed to prison.
Preparations for the ROYAL NUPTIALS.
The royal chapel at St. James's, is undergoing a thorough change, for the purpose of celebrating the nuptials of his royal highness the prince of Wales, and her royal highness the princess of Brunswick, for which purpose the workmen employed, are occupied night and day.
The whole of the pews, pulpit, &c. are removed from the body of the chapel; the flooring is raised and boarded, to render it warm and commodious which is to be covered with carpeting; the walls are decorated with crimson and gold; and the sides, which are wainscot, will be hung with crimson damask.
Two additional galleries are erected for a band of vocal and instrumental performers, one of which is over the altar, and carried back through the great window into the street; the other opposite the organ loft to correspond with that gallery.
Under the organ gallery will be a superb canopy of crimson velvet, and gold, for the reception of their majesties; and another of a smaller nature, under the opposite gallery, for the bride and bridegroom.
In his majesty's closet will be the Ambassadors and foreign ministers. Below, in the body of the chapel will be all the royal family, with their respective attendants.
The marriage ceremony will be performed by his grace the archbishop of canterbury; and the anthem, for the occasion, will be the same as was performed on the marriage of Frederick, prince of Wales, father to his present majesty, composed for that purpose by Handel.
A letter from Bermuda, dated April 3, says, "I flatter myself the system of condemnation is at an end, owing to an arrival from London, about a week ago, by which the admiralty judge has received public dispatches, which it is said, censure his conduct severely."
By a letter from Grenada, dated March 20, we learn, that every thing was again quiet there, and things going on in their usual manner.
The British ports in St. Domingo, are open to the Spaniards, under certain restrictions.
The following paragraph, corroborative of the arrival of a fleet at Guadaloupe, is taken from a Newbury-Port paper, its authority is not mentioned.
The French fleet lately arrived, at Guadaloupe, took on their passage, 37 sail of British vessels. The prisoners were put on board one of the largest ships and set at liberty—The remaining 36 were either sunk or burnt.
The Grand Fleets of England and Spain were both at sea the last of February.
Capt. Glad, arrived here from Nantz, which he left Feb. 19 informs, that the Algerines are out of the straights .
The President's Birth Day, was celebrated by the American captains at Point Petre, Guadaloupe, Feb. 22.
From FRANCE—DIRECT.
BY a vessel that arrived here yesterday in 47 days from Bourdeaux, we have the pleasure of learning, that the French continue prosperous beyond all comparison. All that we have heretofore said has been abundantly verified by numerous documents. Alexander's conquests, and Caesar's victories vanish in fame before the matchless energies of our Republican friends. The sacred principles of equality as to rights, prevail—Monarchy is but a dream, and looses strength daily—Humanity had been the "order of the day," as a knowledge of their rights and duties pervades the bosom of that immense Republic.—The government is simple, but energetic—The passions which effected the Revolution subside, and the natural and amiable character of the most enlightened nation in Europe, is displayed in its full lustre.
Provisions of almost every kind in France are as cheap as in Boston, on an average, and in
some respects much cheaper. Prizes are brought in daily in such numbers as was never before known—The harbors are crowded with them—and in short, the affairs of the French prosper in almost every point.
All the Americans in France applaud their conduct, and rejoice in their success—And even some who left America reputed aristocrats, the moment they arrive there, talk of nothing but Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, &c. mount the cockade, and sing ca ira , in full chorus, with their goodallies the democratic Republicans of France.
The following translation of a Letter was handed the Editors by a gentleman of veracity—(we have the original in our possession)—dated
"Paris, 4th Pluviose, (23d January) 3d year of the Republic."
"From the examination of the papers of Mr. Genet, and from information derived from some other particular sources, the Committee of Public Safety have been convinced that the Government of the United States were not friendly to our own—in consequence of which, a Member of the Convention moved to take the matter into consideration, in order to demonstrate to them that fact, but it was overruled on the ground of its being impolitic to agitate a subject of that nature, at that moment, and the order of the day being called for was decreed accordingly."
"Health and Fraternity!"
"Citizen Mangoury, the former Consul at Charleston, is now Secretary for Foreign Affairs."
An enlightened public and our Republican brethren in the Southern States, will perceive the change of sentiments in this Commonwealth, by this state of our late Election. Mr. Dexter is not chosen; and Mr. Varnum, an independent Democratic Republican, and of consequence a true genuine Federalist, (according to the real sense of the word) is elected to represent the Second Middle District.
APRIL 27.
In almost every Chronicle we have the inexpressible satisfaction of informing the friends of the French Revolution, of the successes and advantages gained by our virtuous and gallant allies. The latest intelligence is by the Maria, Capt. Runey, arrived on Saturday from Havre.
We have French papers by this arrival, to the 24th of February. They contain many important Official Letters, and other State Papers, which are translating and will be given hereafter. The following interesting letter claims the earliest insertion.
CAPTURE of ROSES.*
The Representative of the People with the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees, to the Committee of Public Safety.
"Roses, the 15th Nivose, (Jan. 20.)"
"Citizen Colleagues,
"We promised you to enter Roses, either by the gates or breaches. The Spaniards did not wait for the latter—they surrendered at discretion this day. It may be said that the army had to overcome all the elements, which had combined against them. They had to open a road through the mountains hitherto considered as inaccessible; our brave brothers have labored with indefatigable zeal—they had to drag up these precipices with their own hands, the artillery, and all the engines of war. All these were necessary, before we could render ourselves masters of the Buds, and to cut off the communication which the fleet of the enemy maintained with the principal port of Roses. The Buds being taken, the first parallel was soon perfected against the body of the place, but the abundance of rain which continually fell filled up the trenches with water, and 23 days passed away without our being able, from these causes of resuming the labor of our approaches. The numerous difficulties which presented themselves determined us to abandon the plan of a second parallel and to adopt a new line of attack, which although not agreeable to the rules of war, yet proved successful."
"We now began to batter en breche ; a small hill afforded a favorable position, and in the nights of the 10th and 11th, a battery was raised and completed of 18 twenty-four pounders—and on the 14th, began to batter the walls, and as soon as they began to tumble, our volunteers requested leave to make the assault. The fire continued two days incessantly, and the walls were much damaged: The garrison perceiving that all resistance was in vain, took advantage of the night to embark a large part of the garrison—leaving 540 men in the place, who surrendered this morning at discretion, and are now prisoners of war."
"It is upon the ramparts of Roses, and in sight of the Spanish fleet, who keep at a distance from the port, that we propose to celebrate the anniversary feast of the just punishment of the last of the Capets."
"The Convention ought to be informed that besides the extraordinary labours of the siege, our brave brothers in arms have had to contend with all the sufferings of being exposed to incessant rains, snows, and excessive frosts—but all this did not in the least abate their firmness and courage."
"The National Convention, always just, will again decree, and I believe not for the last time, that the Army of the Eastern Pyrenees have not ceased to deserve well of the Republic!"
"Health and Fraternity."
*A port town in Spain in the Province of Catalonia, on a bay of the Mediterranean, 62 miles N. E. of Barcelona.
COUNT de ARANDA.
The celebrated Spaniard, passed thro' Bay-
onne on his way to Paris. It was supposed at Toulouse, that his design was to negotiate a peace with the Republic. The passengers say he had actually arrived. The paragraph mentioning this pleasing information was dated the 11th of February.
De Aranda is one of the most accomplished characters of the present age, as a statesman and philosopher. He detests tyranny of every sort—He is a friend to peace and has always been opposed to the present war, on the part of the Spaniards against the French.
This philosophic luminary will perhaps enlighten the policy of his countrymen. His dislike to English influence, is the necessary consequence of his love of Freedom. He was driven from the direction of the Councils of Madrid, when the British persuaded the Spaniards to take a part against their old ally. His being dispatched Ambassador, is one proof of returning reason to the Cabinet of Spain. England will be left alone. The Prussians also have their Ambassador in France. It is said they have actually made their peace.
CAIRA.
From the (N. Y.) MINERVA.
THE Banks of London and Middlesex (Eng.) having relinquished the business of paying in London, the interest on the Government Securities of the United States, we are directed to make known, that a new plan has been digested for that purpose by the respectable Banking House in London, under the firm of Samuel Smith, Son, & Comp'y.
(The public will make their own comments on the above.)
Citizen Adet, late Minister Plenipotentiary at Geneva, we learn, is appointed by the Committee of public Safety, Minister of the French Republic to the United States of America.
In a letter from Geneva, citizen Adet, is said to be "a declared friend to humanity, an impartial judge, and a righteous man in the strictest sense."
The National Convention of France has sent the flag of the United States to Geneva, by their new Ambassador there, Citizen Defporte, to be suspended with theirs.
The French Convention have shewn their wisdom in "passing to the order of the day," on what Genet could insinuate against our beloved President. Magnanimity will always command respect.
The intelligence from Europe, of the sailing of an Algerine squadron into the Atlantic is interesting. We are happy, however, in learning from our correspondents at Philadelphia, that the military apparatus destined for Algiers, as the price of peace, and ransom of our fellow citizens, was embarked on board a vessel bound directly thither.—These apparatus are told, consists of 6000 stands of arms, 4 field pieces, and a quantity of powder.
Col. Humphreys is on the point of returning to Europe.
Yesterday we received accounts of fresh piracies committed by the Bermudian corsairs on our commerce. The last advices, via Newbury-Port are, that 22 sail of American vessels have been carried into that nest of marauders. The advices are as late as 20 days since.
The Store-ship taken some time since, of which so many accounts have been published, was the Duras , an old French Indian, of 20 guns, 400 troops, and 70 seamen, with field pieces, mortars, shot, shells, &c.
THE PATRIOT ARMY,
Left in the western country of Pennsylvania, it is said, are immediately to be disbanded submission to the laws being at present "the order of the day."

New-Chester, March 30, 1795.
State of New-Hampshire. P UBLIC notice is hereby given, that the inhabitants of the town of Alexandria, petitioned the General-Court of said State, at their session at Concord on the third Tuesday of December, 1794, setting forth, that they labour under many inconveniences by reason of the disagreeable form in which said town lies; also by reason of a large mountain that crosses about midway of the length thereof, which renders it almost impossible for the inhabitants of the south and those of the north part to assemble on any occasion whatever, without travelling a great length of way to get by said mountain; and praying that a division of said town may be made at or near the middle thereof.
Upon which petition it is ordered that the petitioners be heard thereon before the General-Court on the second Thursday of the next session; and that the petitioners cause that the substance of the petition and order of Court thereon, be published in the New-Hampshire Gazette, three weeks successively, commencing six weeks prior to said day of hearing; also cause that a like copy be posted up in some public place in the town of Alexandria, for the same term of time, that any person or persons may then appear and show cause (if any they have) why the prayer of said petition may not be granted.
