To the honorable the Justices of the Superior-Court of Judicature, next to be holden at Dover, in and for the county of Strafford, on the first Tuesday of April, 1794.
THE petition of Edward Gilman of New-Durham, in said county of Strafford, husbandman, most humbly shews, that MARY GILMAN the wife of your petitioner was a few years since the wife of one GORDON, late of New-Durham, in said county, and was by a sentence of your honors, divorced from the said GORDON. That some time afterwards your petitioner married with the said MARY, with whom he lived a very short time, till June 1790, and ever behaved towards her with the tenderness and affection due from a husband; but at that time the said MARY withdrew herself from the bed and board of the said petitioner, and from that time to this day has utterly refused to live and cohabit with your petitioner, against his many entreaties to her to return to him. Your petitioner is well informed that she is now in the eastern parts of the Province of Main, with her said former husband, GORDON, in a State of adultery, and thus your petitioner is deprived of that friendship, solace, and comfort, which it is the duty of his said wife ever to afford him, and which he has forfeited by no misconduct of his own. These facts your petitioner can abundantly make to appear, and humbly prays that upon their being substantiated to the satisfaction of the Court, your honors will make your decree that the bonds of matrimony between him and the said MARY be dissolved.
his EDWARD GILMAN.

Superior-Court, April term, 1794.
Ordered by the Court that the said Edward Gilman notify the said Mary to appear before the Justices of the Superior-Court of Judicature, next to be holden at Dover, within and for the county of Strafford, on the second Tuesday of April next, to show cause (if any she has) why the prayer of the foregoing petition should not be granted, by causing said petition and order of Court thereon, to be published three weeks successively in the New-Hampshire Gazette, and Eastern Herald.

AGRICULTURAL.
From the Columbian Centinel.
White Beans.
MR. RUSSELL, AGRICULTURE and Commerce being the great sources of our national prosperity, I have been induced to make an observation on the culture and exportation of WHITE BEANS, which of late years have become a considerable article of our export. My view is to induce the Farmer to plant none but clear White Beans; as any coloured Beans destroy in an essential degree their value, for exportation.
At first sight, with those who look for nothing in a newspaper but political disquisition, or the fate of empires, this may appear trifling; but I am confident, that, attention to this apparently small matter, would save thousands and tens of thousands of Dollars to the country! For instance, Mr. RUSSELL, suppose there are exported from Boston 20000 bushels per year.* These at one dollar a bushel will net the Farmer 20,000 dollars, and the exporter, perhaps, 25,000 dollars. These shall be sent to a foreign port, wherein 20,000 bushels of Holland Beans should net the Dutch Farmer 25,000 dollars, and the Dutch merchant who exported them above 30,000, merely because the Dutch beans are all white as chalk, and the American beans of all colours. This is a real fact—And from it I infer, that the Farmers who send their beans to Boston market only, experience an annual loss of 5000 dollars, in this small article. This loss must chiefly fall on the Farmer, for the Merchant cannot afford to give a higher price than foreigners will repay; and when he buys of the Farmer he considers the quality of the article; and, as it respects American Beans, that they will not command so much by 20 per cent. in foreign countries, as other beans do—not from any bad quality, but as said before, from their being coloured!—How easy then is it for the Farmer, when preparing his seed, to prevent
NOTE.
* The Editor thinks this estimate very small, as there were exported from the port of Boston, from the 1st of October, to Dec. 31, 1794, Nine thousand, six hundred and thirty bushels of beans. From the 1st Oct. 1790, to Sept. 30, 1791—a period when the commerce of the United States, was by no means so extensive as it now is, the export of Beans and Peas was one hundred and sixty-five thousand, two hundred and seventy-three bushels.
this!—And when he brings his beans to market get 20 per cent. advance on the price!
The loss above contemplated applies only to Boston; if we then take into consideration the losses experienced from the same cause in the other ports of this State, and the United States, the sum must be immense—perhaps 100,000 dollars annually.
Besides, Sir, is not our character as an agricultural and commercial nation, interested in this business? How mortifying must be the situation of a Captain of an American vessel in Europe, when he hears foreign merchants declare, that they can have no confidence in American produce, for quality; and to see them blowing on American produce, while at the same time they purchase the same articles of other nations, at an advanced price, merely because the Inspection laws of those countries are better than ours.
THE FARMER'S FRIEND.
Feb. 26, 1795.
From the EAGLE.
"He hates to break his DOLLAR." AND fags! who don't?—Dost thou not know, thrice, yea six times gentle reader, that the breaking of dollars is the admission of poverty? that, even by subtracting three-pence, you make a hole in the dam, by which the whole barrier is swept—Why then lowered thy brow, the other eve, an honest Griper, because he shun the last MUG? Canst thou not join with me in apologizing for this man of the close fist, by advertising to his early days, when prudence catechized, and the saving of pence, began his creed? that he never mingled with men, except at March meetings and training days:—when ninepence for his mug defrayed his annual expense. Doth not this man right then, in not breaking his dollar?
But mark the other man; it is he, who, when entering the bar-room, yelled five bowls; drank the first himself: d—d the landlord for sparing gin; swore, that Ned Frank wouldn't drink, lest he should have to pay; told of the magnitude of his last bill; applauded generosity; ginged dollars in his pocket; and then, with a very familiar quickstep tript off thro' the kitchen with one of them.
I knew another man, who was not far from that line; whose head and purse sympathized most cordially: by which cause the latter would infallibly ache, at assemblies, precisely at ten o'clock. When parties were forming, he was ever supremely happy to find enough without him; and when on a journey, would starve a horse worth 30 pounds, rather than not reach the house of a cousin—This man was doubtless very fond of breaking his dollar.
I once heard of a man, at college, who was more famed for extensive genius than a lengthy purse, that had his name in every huxter's book in town; who, in his purchases, made frequent use of the phrase—"short credit"—
So well his ears for sound were fitted, By frequent thumps on door repeated, He'd tell, as sure as rule of Gunter, Whenever Friend or Dun, was thumper. On entering his room, and seeing poetry and linen, candlesticks and folios, promiscuously piled, says I, "LEANDER, you've broke your dollar" "No faith!" says the wit "I hav'nt; for I never had but eighteen pence, at a time!" CIMON.
Federal Legislature.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, Feb. 6.
THERE was read a report, from the select committee relative to the salaries and numbers of clerks in public offices. The report was referred to a committee of the whole house, and ordered to be printed.
The house then went into a committee on the unfinished business of yesterday; the amendment of Mr. S. Smith was before them for striking out the second resolution in the report of the select committee on the means of reducing the national debt: Mr. Cobb in the chair.
The question for striking out the resolution was put.
Ayes—only 21.
The motion being thus lost, Mr. Giles, said, that at the risk of popular odium, he would move to strike out the tax upon carriages.
On dividing, the motion of Mr. Giles was negatived.
Ayes 29—Noes 55.
A motion was made by Mr. Sedgwick, for striking out another part of the resolution. The meaning was not to limit

the appropriation of the produce of these taxes to the discharge of the debt exclusively. He had been appointed on a committee, when the galleries were shut; and it was the business of the house to provide money for the humane and national purposes referred to. That money must be had. He did not think himself at liberty to speak more plainly, but the house knew that this was an indispensable object. [From these hints, and the words national and humane, employed by the member, it seems somewhat probable that there may be in agitation a treaty with the Algerines.]
The committee agreed to all the resolutions as reported.
The committee rose, and leave was granted to sit again.
The house also agreed to the resolutions. A committee were then appointed to bring in a bill.
It was then moved by Mr. Tracy, that when this house do adjourn, it shall be till Monday.—Mr. Sedgwick objected on account of the approaching close of the session, and weight of business before the house. To this it was answered, that the select committees had so much business upon their hands, as could not be gone through without an adjournment till Monday. The motion for adjourning till that time was then agreed on.
Adjourned.
MONDAY, Feb. 9.
Mr. Harper, a member from South Carolina, was qualified and took his seat.
Mr. Sedgwick brought in a motion for appointing a committee to bring in a bill to amend an act authorising the President to fill up for a short limited time, certain occasional vacancies in public offices.
A committee were named accordingly to bring in a report.
The galleries were cleared at half past 11 o'clock.
TUESDAY, Feb. 10.
On motion of Mr. Sherburne the House went into a committee of the whole, on the amendments reported to the bill extending the post roads. After some time spent thereon, the committee rose and reported the amendments.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill for licencing and enrolling ships and vessels were read, and, on the motion of Mr. Giles, referred to a select committee.
Mr. W. Smith brought in a bill repealing the act imposing a duty on snuff, and, substituting some new regulations. This was made the order of the day for Thursday.
The House then went into a committee on the reduction of the national debt.
This produced a very long discussion on the best means of commencing the payment of the national debt. At a quarter past three o'clock the committee rose; the chairman asked leave to sit again.
Adjourned.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 11.
A bill for the recovery of debts due from individuals to the United States, was read a first and second time, and made the order of the day on Friday.
Mr. Goodhue, from the committee to whom had been referred the amendments of the Senate, on the bill supplementary to an act for regulating and licencing ships and vessels, reported, that the committee disagreed to the amendments. There was ordered to be appointed a committee of conference.
It was then moved, that the house should proceed to the order of the day, and resolve itself into a committee, on the report of the committee on the plan for a reduction of the national debt. This was done accordingly, Mr. Cobb in the chair.
The house went through the resolutions, which were agreed to, and reported with amendments. The house went upon the report and a committee are appointed to bring in a bill.
It was next moved, by Dr. Beatty, that a committee should be appointed to report, whether any and what alterations are necessary in the act for laying a tax on carriages for pleasure, and to report a bill with such alterations as may be necessary in the same. Agreed. A committee were named to report.
A few minutes before three o'clock, on the motion of Mr. Sedgwick, the galleries were cleared.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 26.
Yesterday passed through this city, on their way to Campington, a pair of extraordinary cattle, fed in the neighborhood of the city by William Sheaff, and which for some time past, have drawn the attention of a number of citizens. They were weighed alive—one of them weighed
1436lb. and the other 2242lb. The beef of these oxen will be exposed for sale on Saturday morning next, at George Happle's stall, No. 4, and Jacob Karr's, No. 3, above Third street. The beef will be weighed in the open market, and a true account thereof published.
NEW-YORK, March 4.
Extract of a letter from a respectable citizen in one of the southern states, dated 7th Jan.
"We are informed that monstrous speculations are carrying on in Georgia, in lands, and that it is probable that state will dispose of millions of acres at a low price to many persons, some of whom are in high responsible situations. What may be the issue I know not; but it appears to me to be a business of great consequence, and involving immense mischiefs. It is a subject well worthy of consideration, and, if possible, of legislative interposition. If the sales are made, heaven and earth will be moved to involve the union in a war with the Indian tribes who occupy the lands."
BOSTON, March 12.
From PHILADELPHIA, March 2.
Received by EXPRESS from Head-Quarters.
Extract of two letters dated Fort Washington, February 2, to two gentlemen in this city.
"The Indians have by their Deputies generally applied for a treaty of Peace with the United States; you will see by the official papers now transmitted, that preliminary articles are signed, proposing to meet for that purpose at Greenville on the 15th June next."
"The Indians say the great spirit has opened their eyes, and directed them to make peace with the United States—but I rather believe, it was the glare of our bayonets on the 20th August last, that has thus illuminated their minds."
"The Treaty is to be completed on the 15th June next, after which, should the war continue, we shall have 500 warriors less to combat with."
MARCH 4.
A Correspondent assures us upon good authority, and the information must glad many a heart, that a Treaty of some kind is either concluded or at least in forwardness with the Dey of Algiers, for the redemption of our captive citizens. He has refused, it appears, money in ransom, but is to receive a quantity of arms cannon and military stores. The Legislature has just passed an act to legalize the exportation of such articles for this purpose, in order to enable the Executive to comply with the stipulation.
Yesterday morning, a naked Male Child was found, in what is usually called Rowe's Failure. The verdict of the Jury of Inquest, was, "That it was Smothered." It is to be wished, that the inhuman monster of a mother may be found out.

THE CONFLAGRATION
of the rope-walks at Boston, brought to my remembrance what I read in a periodical paper, called the Lipsey Intelligence Leaf , of the year 1785, about some productions of the earth, which, in certain conditions, have the power to set themselves on fire by their own heat.—Dr. Buckholz at Weimer has enumerated them, and hemp will particularly have that quality. A frigate was burnt in a Russian port; an officer belonging to her was arrested; when he was tried, it was pleaded, that a compact bundle of hemp had got on fire by its own heat! The Empress thereupon ordered several trials; at each of the same it was found, that hemp compacted, having in the inside some part greased with oil or tallow, would, in a day or two, begin to smoke, and in a short time after would emit flames of fire.
In the year 1790, it was found in several places of Germany, that roasted succory root, which is used instead of coffee, is such a self incendiary. A grocer at Magdeburg had a quantity roasted, ground and packed into casks, to send to another place, in the night it began to burn of itself, and five houses were consumed by it. A caution or warning in the public prints to owners of rope-walks or magazines of hemp, captains of ships, any traders in hemp, flax and sail cloth, might if noticed, prevent many losses by fire.

THE ACT of the State of GEORGIA, which disposed of the vacant land in the state,
directs that it shall be granted to four companies. The first is called the Georgia company, and is to be granted to James Gunn, Matthew M'Allister and George Walker, and their associates, for the sum of 250,000 dollars, to be paid in specie, bank bills of the United States, and warrants for the years 1791, '92, '93, '94 and '95, drawn by the governor, the president of the senate, and speaker of the house of representatives; 50,000 dollars to be deposited in the treasury, previous to the passing of the act; the remainder to be paid on or before the first day of November next; whenever the last payment is made, the governor is to sign the grant. One million of acres is reserved out of this tract for the use of the citizens of Georgia, and to be granted as the act points out.
The second company is called the Georgia Mississippi company, and is to be granted to Nicholas Long, Thomas Glascock, Ambrose Gordon, and Thomas Cumming, and their associates, for the sum of 155,000 dollars, payable as the former; 31,000 dollars to be deposited in the treasury, before the passing of this act; the remainder on or before the first day of November next.
The third company is called the upper Mississippi company to be granted to John B. Scott, John C. Nightingale, and Wade Hampton, for 35,000 dollars payable as before; 5000 dollars previous to passing the act; the remainder on or before the first day of November next.
The fourth company is called the Tenessee company, to be granted to Zachariah Cox, Matthias Maher, and their associates, for 60,000 dollars; 12,000 dollars to be deposited as above; the remainder on or before the first day of November next.
The state retains out of the Georgia Mississippi company 620,000 acres; out of the upper Mississippi company, 138,000 acres; and out of the Tenessee company, 242,000 acres; for the use of the citizens of the state. Also 50,000 acres more out of the Tenessee company, to be gratuitously divided amongst the commissioners appointed of the great bend of the Tenessee river.
VICISSITUDES OF LIFE.
When the alliance between America and France was signed, the family of De Graffe, was noble, heroic, and virtuous—happy in domestic concerns, and renowned in military achievements. Among the heroes of France, count De Graffe was selected by the unfortunate Louis, to command the naval force, assigned to our assistance. The count arrived on our continent, commanding the general naval force which had then floated on our seas. He contributed to the capture of the British army under Lord Cornwallis, and rendered many essential services to our cause; but failing against Rodney, he was dishonored on his return home, and he is said to have died with grief.
On the late revolution, the remains of his family, were persecuted as aristocrats—they fled to different lands, in order to avoid humiliation, poverty, and perhaps death. The daughters of the unfortunate count De Graffe are now in Salem; and one of his sons commands a man of war under the King of England.
Naval Engagement.
Several accounts have been published of a recent engagement in the West-Indies, between a French and English frigate; but very little dependence can be placed on them. Anxious to communicate the most authentic intelligence, we have obtained information of a letter to a gentleman, from a Captain of an American vessel, who was on board the English ship during the engagement, who informs, that this action, one of the most obstinate and bloody in the annals of naval combats—was between the Blanche, British frigate of 36 guns, and 250 men, commanded by Capt. Faulkner, and La Pink, a French frigate, of 36 guns, and 400 men. The engagement began at one o'clock in the morning, and continued until four—the Blanche lost her Captain and 20 men killed, and 40 men wounded; and La Pink had 70 men killed and 114 wounded. The Pink lost all her masts, and the Blanche her main and mizen mast. The engagement, being in the night, was attended with many peculiar circumstances. The Blanche had been in chase of the vessel, commanded by the gentleman from whom these particulars came, bound to Guadalupe, and was discovered by the Pink, then lying under Fleur d'Epée, Guadalupe, which immediately slipped her cable, and followed the Blanche. At 1 o'clock they met, laid each other along side, and a desperate battle ensued—during which the crew of the Blanche, unperceived made the Pink fast with a hauser round the bobstay and brought her into a very disadvantageous situation. Captain Faulkner being killed, his Lieutenant veered away the hauser, which confined the Pink, and brought her under his quarter, lashing the Pink's bowsprit to his mizen mast. In this situation, finding he could not rake his antagonist to advantage from the ordinary stern ports, he ordered two cannon to be loaded, and firing both of them together, blew off the upper part of his ship's stern; and from these new-invented port holes raked the Pink fore and aft, for near two hours, entirely dismasting her, and making the havoc among her crew, which the above return states; while the only return the Pink could make was her small arms, and from the darkness of the night could not discover what made her fast. The crews of both vessels behaved with the most invincible courage; particularly the French; who bore the deadly and raking fire of the English a long time after even the hope of escape or conquest had vanished. The English frigate was so disabled, as not to be able to conduct her wreck of a prize into port; and a vessel was sent from The Saints to tow them
in. The Blanche was fitted out at Halifax to fight the Concorde, and the Pink at Guadalupe to fight the Blanche.
The account of the Bellona frigate having joined in the engagement, is not true. Perhaps the mistake originated in blending this with the account of her having taken a French store ship bound to Guadalupe, with troops, &c. on board, and which had arrived safe at St. Kitts.
The above particulars are from an American Captain who was on board the Blanche, and who is a gentleman of strict veracity. Other accounts received from various quarters, confirm the most of the above.
After the engagement, the Capt. was dismissed with his vessel.
Citizen Columbe, charged with a commission by the Government of France, is arrived at Newport, from whence he proceeds to the Ambassador of the French Republic, at Philadelphia.
JAY'S TREATY.
From the Philadelphia AURORA , of March 4.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.
Upwards of three months have now elapsed since the signing of the Treaty with Great-Britain. We have heard something of it nearly two months ago, and yet the particulars of it are not yet before the public. A Treaty with France is also spoken of; but on this score we are yet in the dark. We shall know something of them, when, after ratification, they shall have become the supreme law of the land.—The Executive makes and ratifies treaties; the people surely have nothing to do with its proceedings; hence the propriety of keeping everything under the cloak of secrecy till the whole business is accomplished, for then the murmurs of the discontented will be Vox et præterea nihil .
SHIP NEWS.
NEWBURY-PORT, March 10. Thursday last arrived here, ship Mary, Samuel Sweat master, from Oporto.
Nov. 1, 1794—Arrived at Oporto, brig Rachael, of Boston, from London, bound up the Streights, but was taken by a French frigate, her papers taken from her, and ordered for France, but was re-taken by the crew. The French prisoners say, that previous to their leaving the frigate, they had taken 36 prizes, one of which was the Lisbon packet, with 8000l. on board.
Two days previous to the sailing of Capt. S. a very heavy cannonade was heard at Oporto, and the day after he sailed, passed through the spars and rigging of a ship.
Dec. 5, failed from Oporto, in company with an English fleet bound to different ports, under convoy of a 50 gun ship and a sloop of war. Dec. 17, spoke ship Fox, of New-Bedford, bound to the Cape of Good Hope, 24 days out, lat. 21, long. 32, 20, all well.
Feb. 9, spoke Schooner Industry, of New-York, Benjamin Wanch master, lat. 37, long. 70, in a very leaky condition.
ANECDOTE.
An Irishman on board a vessel unfortunately dropped the tea-kettle into the water, and being fearful the Captain would punish him, when enquiry should be made for it, proposed the following question to the Captain—Sir, can a thing be lost when ye know where it is? Why, no, you fool, answered the Captain—Well, says paddy, fath the tea-kettle is overboard.

From French Papers. PARIS, December 16.
Let the people of France learn wisdom by their past sufferings, and never again fall under the empire of tyranny, of which more than one species, is even now trying, constantly, under the appearance of a perfidious popularity, to fix on us its claws, and its chains. Can it be possible, that after having been so horribly tormented, the French will ever again become the dupes of those political jugglers, who are yet seeking to delude them. No! they shall not succeed in their attempts; we will no longer listen to them. The laws shall be our only masters, our only guides. We will spurn with horror; we will crush without mercy, any individual, any private authority whatever, who shall attempt to substitute their will in the place of the law.
LOCHET, chief secretary to the Committee of General Welfare, who was sent to Nantz, to collect the witnesses against Carrier, &c. deposed at the tribunal, that on his informing the citizens of that place, of the intention of the Convention to punish the authors of their misfortunes, they rent the air with shouts of vive la Convention, vive la Republique, vive la Justice . These good people thronged round him, and attended him in crowds to the spot where the guillotine Boat, and Carrier's Galliot lay aground. They conducted him into the holds of both, and shewed him the hooks fixed in rows round the inside, to which the miserable victims used to be tied. Not far from these, is another large boat, still sunk, which they assured him was yet full of dead bodies. The Commune of Nantz is taking measures to restore the confiscated property of their fellow-citizens, who fell under Carrier's tyranny, to their heirs.
Dec. 20. Addresses from all parts of the Republic, congratulating the Convention, on having terminated the reign of the cut-throats and thieves, are every day presented at the bar.
With how much art do the creatures of our last inquisitors take advantage of every trifling circumstance. "Will you" said Merlin of Douai, in a late sitting of the Convention, "have it said, that you have shut the doors of the Jacobins, only to open those of the Fanatics." Hardly were these words dropped, when behold all the Jacobins were in motion, making that to prevent the crowning of the little Capet, it was necessary again to open their den, & so fall into the gulf of Charibdis. Fools and Madmen! We will neither be governed by the Capets, nor by you; and it is in vain that one of your echoes, the journal of Charles Dewal, catching at the fugitive expression of Merlin, is trying to produce some lamentations over the tomb of the Mother Society, ( Societemere ) to pity her dear Jacobins, and to insinuate in the Departments, that they are excellent patriots, who are persecuted by malevolence. But the wounds made by their poignards, are yet bleeding; the evils they have done their country are too cruel—all the remembrance which ought to remain of them, is that of their crimes.
PHILADELPHIA, March 3. Extract of a letter from an Officer in the Federal Army, to his friend in Lexington, dated Greenville, January 1.
"Late last night an express arrived here from Fort Wayne,* with information of a considerable number of Indians having come to that post on the business of a treaty. A deputation from as many as five tribes have already come in, and they say all the others will follow in a few days: I believe we shall find those people really serious, and that a peace is their grand object."
* At the Old Miami Villages. Account of an elegant fancy piece, executed and presented by Mrs. VAN BERCKEL, to Mrs. WASHINGTON, on the President's Birth Day.
The "Dignum Laude Virum, musa vetat mori" of Horace, must have been the origin of that happy design we have seen of the "Fatal Sisters"—but perhaps the sentence did not occur to the elegant Designer; if not—the thought is as original as beautiful. The Bust of our illustrious WASHINGTON, is very well painted, and bears a considerable likeness—Near it are the three Sisters, one spinning the thread of his life—the second winding it—the third is withheld by the Genius of Immortality from putting the fatal sheers to it, while Fame from her Rock, snatches the thread and bears it off into eternity. It was a beautiful and appro-
priate tribute on the President's Birth Day—Lines under the picture.
In Vain the Sisters ply with busy care, To reel off years from Glory's deathless Heir— Fruitless things may pass—His Fame shall never die, Rescued from Fate by Immortality.
From a late London Paper. Three large lots of 120,000 acres each, have been purchased in Kentucky and Pennsylvania, with a view of granting the same out in small lots of from 200 to 500 acres in perpetuity, rendering a small rent per acre, with a liberty of purchasing the fee simple by the tenant; and leases to this effect, having been granted to a great number of farmers and others, in Norfolk, Cardiganshire, and Pembroke , two ships laden with Emigrants, have lately sailed, and a very considerable number will sail next spring. The principal settlements are to the South of the Ohio, five miles from Salt river, in Nelson county, Kentucky.
NEW-YORK, March 7. Summons are issued to the Senators of the United States, to convene at the seat of government the eighth day of June next.
MARCH 9. On Saturday arrived the brig Lydia, Capt. Shackerly, in 56 days from Amsterdam. Letters have been received from thence as late as the 7th January. We have seen those addressed to a respectable house in this city. They at different dates, state the progress of the French:—That, at one time, they crossed the Rhine and the Waal, and drove in the Posts established there. It had been afterwards reported at Amsterdam, that they had recrossed those rivers; but the Postscript to the last letter of the 7th January, declares all hopes of stopping the progress of the French to be entirely at an end, and that they would undoubtedly be in the city in the course of 2 or 3 days—No disturbances had taken place among the inhabitants, who, on the contrary, were calmly waiting their fate.
Capt. Shackerly informs that on the 20th January in lat. 46, 36, long. 17, he fell in with a fleet of French ships of war, consisting of 21 sail of the line, and 15 frigates, several of which were 74's cut down, carrying very heavy metal; that he was boarded by the frigate Thames, who took one French passenger from him; and that the Capt. of the Thames informed him that they had taken, in their cruise among others, a fleet of 22 sail of vessels from Cork, bound to the West Indies with provisions. Same day Capt. Shackerly spoke the ship Peggy, Capt. Elliott, from Philadelphia bound to Bordeaux, also the Schooner Rambler, from Boston bound to France.
BOSTON, March 14. THE TREATY
concluded by Mr. Jay, had not arrived at Philadelphia, when the Third Congress expired. We are told, that the Senators have been informally consulted as to the time, when it would be most convenient for them to assemble, to discuss the Treaty; and that it is expected The President will, by Proclamation, call them together in May next.
The delay of the Treaty is owing to the non-arrival of the British Packets—three of whom were due at Halifax, the 25th ult.
It ought to be mentioned, that the Pink frigate lately captured by the English, had on board 100 blacks, who were all sea-sick when the engagement with the Blanche commenced.
From GUADALOUPE. Capt. Brown, in the brig Polly, arrived here on Thursday, from Guadalupe, in 34 days. He informs, that a French fleet, of 10 sail of transports, conveyed by two frigates, had arrived there, having 5000 troops on board. He confirms the account of the capture of one of the fleet, with five or six hundred troops on board, but no extra provisions or military stores. Immediately on the arrival of these troops, preparations were made for an expedition, supposed against Dominica. He also informs, that a Proclamation had been issued at Martinico, granting the privilege of citizenship to all persons resident in the Island, who would pay a certain high sum of money—on condition they should not bear arms; in a few days after, this Proclamation was nullified, and residence forbidden to any inhabitants who would not take up arms, in 48 hours, to defend the island. In consequence of this base proceeding, a great number of the inhabitants, notwithstanding they had paid the stipulated sum, left the island; some of whom, it is said, have taken passage for this place.
On Thursday last arrived here in twelve days from Georgia, a Schooner, with live Oak, for the frigate to be built in this town—three other vessels are soon to follow for this place, when the building of the frigate will go on rapidly, and many tradesmen receive federal employment.—Sailed with the said Schooner, a ship for Baltimore, a brig for Philadelphia, and a brig for New-York, loaded all with live Oak, for the Federal Ships that are to be built in these several places.
We are told, that there are prospects, that the next Congress will be more federal than the last. The Senate greatly so.
March 16. Friday morning last, came on a very severe storm which raged with uncommon violence. The wind being at N. E. did very considerable damage to the Long-Wharf. Several vessels broke their masts, and did considerable damage to the small craft—two or three were sunk, and several dismasted, as were two ships and a Schooner loaded with rum and molasses.—The damage done by this short, though violent storm is estimated at ten thousand dollars.
We hear the late Storm has done considerable Damage at Marblehead, &c. The Particulars of which are not yet come to hand.
We fear we shall hear of a great deal of Damage done the Shipping on the Coast in the late Storm, and a number of Lives lost.
'Tis said the Snow Storm on Friday last, was the severest to be remembered for upwards of Twenty Years past.
From New-London, March 7. Cast away on the back of the Vineyard, on the 27th ult. a vessel, Capt. Fellows, of Stonington, from Demarara, loaded with rum; 20 puncheons only saved; all the crew but the master, mate and boy perished with the cold.
From ALBANY, March 6. COMMUNICATION.
On Tuesday sennight our northern world was blest with a fine snow—which has set every thing in motion—it is estimated that upwards of 1200 sleighs loaded with women, children and furniture, coming from the east, and following the course of the sun, have passed thro' this city within three days, as 500 were counted by a person out of curiosity, from sun to sun, on the 28th ult. besides what passed thro' in the evening. In short, the current of emigration flows incessantly thro' this city—and estimating only an equal number to pass the Hudson, in various quarters, besides the emigration from the Jerseys and Pennsylvania—we may safely pronounce that the western counties of this state will receive an acquisition of at least 20,000 inhabitants during the present winter—and what is remarkable, the states from whence these emigrants principally flow instead of diminishing continue to increase in numbers.—Events so interesting to our immediate prosperity cannot fail to awaken the most unthinking minds—and to enlarge the scale of our calculations accordingly.
PORTSMOUTH, March 17. This day the Federal Court for this District was opened in this town; the HONORABLE JUDGE PICKERING gave the Jury an excellent charge;—after which the Throne of Grace was addressed by a well adapted prayer by the Rev. Dr. HAVEN, and the Court then proceeded on business.
On Friday last we experienced a severe snow storm, the wind blew very high from the North East, we are happy to hear it did but little damage in this town, other than blowing down a few old buildings, &c.—During the storm a fine brig belonging to Kennebec, from Turk's Island, Capt. Cushing, went on shore near Odiorne's point, and bilged, had 400 hogheads salt on board which is all lost, the remainder of the cargo will be saved, and we understand the brig will be got off with little difficulty.
Yesterday agreeable to notification the inhabitants of this town met for the purpose of giving in their votes for Governor, Counsellor, Senator and Representatives for the year ensuing; made choice of the Hon. JONATHAN WARNER, Esq. as Moderator, at the close of the poll the votes were principally
For GOVERNOR, His Excellency JOHN T. GILMAN, Esq.
COUNSELLOR, CHRISTOPHER TOPPAN, Esq.
SENATOR. PAINE WINGATE, Esq.
Col. GEORGE GAINS, JOHN HALE, Esq. and Doctor JOHN GODDARD were chosen Representatives; Doctor Goddard declining to accept of the appointment, the ballots were again taken for a Representative, when it
appeared that Doctor NATH'L A. HAVEN was chosen, who also declined accepting of the appointment:—The meeting for the choice of a third Representative was then adjourned to the 23th of March inst.
New-Hampshire Remonstrance.
In Congress, February 25. A remonstrance from the legislature of the state of New-Hampshire, against an unwarrantable usurpation and exercise of power by the Circuit Court of the United States, was presented by Mr. Sherburne, and read. Mr. Boudinot said, that the style and matter were alike extraordinary: and he hoped that, if referred to a select committee, it would be a large one. Seven members were named.
FEBRUARY 27. A report was read from the select committee, on the remonstrance from the Legislature of New-Hampshire, presented some days ago by Mr. Sherburne. The report was read, and stated that in the opinion of the committee, there could be no interference.
