By Order of the Commissioners, PETER LOHRA, Secretary. Commissioners Office, No. 109, Mulberry-street, Philadelphia, May 17th, 1797. 20—$2w
The Commissioners
FOR carrying into effect the sixth article of the treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, concluded between His Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, on the 19th day of November, 1794, having this day constituted their Board, pursuant and agreeably to the said treaty, do hereby give notice, that they are ready to proceed to business accordingly; and they desire that all claims under the said article (which so far as the same describes the cases thereby provided for, is hereunto annexed) may be lodged with their Secretary without delay. They further desire that all such claims may not only state in what manner the several cases come within the description of the said article, but also specially set forth the nature of the evidence by which the claimants respectively undertake to substantiate the same. Extract from the said article. "Whereas it is alleged by divers British merchants, and others, his majesty's subjects, that debts to a considerable amount, which were bona fide contracted, before the peace, still remain owing to them by citizens or inhabitants of the United States; and that by the operation of various lawful impediments, since the peace, not only the full recovery of the said debts has been delayed, but also the value and security thereof have been in several instances impaired and lessened, so that by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, the British creditors cannot now obtain and actually have and receive full and adequate compensation for the losses and damages which they have thereby sustained. It is agreed that in all such cases where full compensation for such losses and damages cannot for whatever reason be actually obtained, had and received by the said creditors in the ordinary course of justice, the United States will make full and complete compensation for the same to the said creditors: but it is distinctly understood, that this provision is to extend to such losses only as have been occasioned by the lawful impediments aforesaid, and is not to extend to losses occasioned by such insolvency of the debtors or other causes, as would equally have operated to produce such loss, if the said impediments had not existed; nor to such losses or damages as have been occasioned by the manifest delay, or negligence, or wilful omission of the claimant." By Order of the Board, GRIFFITH EVANS, Secretary. Philadelphia, Commissioners' Office, No. 3 South Sixth-street, May 29, 1797. 16—$1m
THE SUBSCRIBER having been appointed by the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Britannic Majesty, General Agent for assisting British creditors, and such particular agents as they may specially authorize, in prosecuting their claims before the Commissioners for carrying into effect the sixth article of the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation between his Britannic Majesty and the United States of America, hereby gives notice that he has opened his office at his house the fourth east corner of Chestnut and fifth streets, Philadelphia, where he is ready to receive all claims or instructions for claims with the vouchers and documents thereof, for the purpose of bringing forward the same agreeably to the rules and orders which the board may think proper to prescribe. And as it will be for the interest of all concerned, that the several claims be so stated, and supported, as to prevent the delay which would arise from the necessity of obtaining further information, or additional materials, from persons residing at a distance, the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the direction chiefly of those, who, not having employed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of their claims to his charge and management) that all such claims ought to be particular in the following particulars. 1st. The proper description and situation of the creditor or claimant, and original debtor, respectively. 2d. The date or nature of the original contract or debt. 3d. When, in what manner, and to what extent, the creditor or claimant was prevented or impeded, by the provision, operation or defect of law, the decisions and practice of courts, or restraint of execution, from recovering payment of the debt in question. 4th. The loss and damage incurred or sustained, in consequence of such impediments, whether the same may have arisen from the insolvency, change of situation, or death of the debtor, the loss of legal remedy from lapse of time, or other causes impairing the value and security of the debt, which would not have operated if such impediments had not existed. And 5th. The particular grounds and reasons on which the claimant maintains, in the terms of the treaty, that "by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, the creditor cannot now obtain and actually have and receive full and adequate compensation" for the losses and damages so sustained. The general agent thinks it his duty further to suggest that the several claims ought to be accompanied and supported by the affidavits of the claimants duly sworn and regularly attested, both as to the existence of the debts claimed, and such other circumstances as may be within their own knowledge respectively. And wherever the claimants in stating the nature of their evidence (which must in every instance be the best of which the case is capable) have occasion to refer to the testimony of witnesses, it will be proper to apprise the general agent of the names and places of residence of such witnesses and the facts to be established by their testimony.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 14.
MESSAGE
FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE U. STATES.
Gentlemen of the Senate and
House of Representatives,
I HAVE received information from the Commissioner appointed on the part of the United States, pursuant to the 3d article of our Treaty with Spain, that the running and marking of the Boundary Line between the Colonies of East and West Florida, and the Territory of the United States, have been delayed by the Officers of his Catholic Majesty, and that they have declared their intention to maintain his jurisdiction, and to suspend the withdrawing his troops from the Military posts they occupy within the territory of the United States, until the two Governments shall, by negotiation, have settled the meaning of the 2d article respecting the withdrawing of the troops, garrisons, or settlements of either party in the territory of the other; that is, whether when the Spanish garrisons withdraw, they are to leave the works standing, or to demolish them, and until, by an additional article to the Treaty, the real property of the inhabitants shall be secured, and likewise until the Spanish Officers are sure the Indians will be pacific. The two first questions, if to be determined by negotiation, might be made subjects of discussion for years, and as no limitation of time can be prescribed to the other, a certainty in the opinion of the Spanish Officers, that the Indians will be pacific, it will be impossible to suffer it to remain an obstacle to the fulfilment of the Treaty on the part of Spain.
To remove the first difficulty, I have determined to leave it to the discretion of the Officers of his Catholic Majesty, when they withdraw his troops from within the territory of the United States, either to leave the works standing, or to demolish them. And to remove the second, I shall cause an assurance to be published, and to be particularly communicated to the Minister of his Catholic Majesty, and to the Governor of Louisiana, that the settlers or occupants of the lands in question, shall not be disturbed in their possessions by the troops of the United States; but, on the contrary, that they shall be protected in all their lawful claims, and to prevent every doubt on this point, it merits the consideration of Congress, whether it will not be expedient immediately to pass a law, giving positive assurances to those inhabitants who by fair and regular grants, or by occupancy, have obtained legal titles or equitable claims to lands in that country, prior to the final ratification of the Treaty between the United States and Spain, on the 25th of April, 1796.
This country is rendered peculiarly valuable by its inhabitants, who are represented to amount to nearly four thousand, generally well affected and much attached to the United States, and zealous for the establishment of a government under their authority.
I therefore recommend to your consideration, the expediency of erecting a government in the District of the Natchez, similar to that established for the territory North-West of the River Ohio, but with certain modifications relative to titles or claims of land, whether of individuals or companies, or to claims of jurisdiction of any individual State.
JOHN ADAMS. United States, June 12, 1797.
CONTINUATION OF
Foreign Intelligence,
From London papers by the Telemachus.
HAMBURG, April 18.
Out letters from Vienna dated the 11th inst. state as follows:
The unfortunate situation of this capital and of our affairs is daily increasing, the Archduke CHARLES has found himself obliged by the great superiority of the French to retreat behind Bruck on the Mur, in Styria, about 16 or 18 miles distant from that place. The Republicans have taken possession of Klagenfurt; and according to a prevailing report, even of Graz the capital of Styria. They pursue the Archduke very closely. The inhabitants of this city have offered to occupy and defend the lines near Vienna, and all their servant and other people they employ are to march against the enemy, under the orders of the Prince of Wittenberg, late Governor of Graz. In order to prevent the French from rendering themselves masters of the Danube, a camp of 12,000 men is to be formed near Lintz. The English and Russian Envoys make the necessary preparations for quitting this capital in case of need. The empress, the archdukes, &c. are to proceed either to Olmutz or to Prague, whither the Archives, precious effects, &c. are likewise sent. Some French spies were lately arrested at a small distance from Vienna. In Tyrol affairs have suddenly taken a better turn. The Austrians re-entered Botzen on the 4th inst and Brixen on the 6th. The French are every where retreating in Tyrol to join their troops in Carinthia and Styria. But this retrograde movement may perhaps also be occasioned by the great armaments in Tyrol, where 40,000 peasants are under arms; so that it might be possible to cut off Buonaparte's army, if it were not too strong.
Meanwhile, proposals of an armistice have been made to Buonaparte, which he has however rejected, declaring at the same time that he was only authorized to conclude a peace. His proposals were however too humiliating for the House of Austria, and were consequently rejected; but at the same time counterpropositions were transmitted to Buonaparte, whose answer is not yet arrived.
LONDON, April 17 Admiral Gravina is arrived at Cadiz, to
take the command of the Spanish fleet, which was to sail about the 3d inst.
Buonaparte is marching to Vienna without meeting with any obstacles in his way, and there is no army which can check his progress. He says in a letter of the 3d inst. that he was then 23 leagues distant from Vienna, where he hoped to arrive on the 9th.
The king of Sweden has permitted all sorts of grain to be exported from Sweden.
Letters from the frontiers of Suabia, of the 2d inst. mention a contribution having been laid by the French on the town of Botzen, of three, and, according to others, of four millions of livres.
From the complexion of several popular Meetings, one should suppose that their object was rather confusion than peace. The language held on these occasions has been better calculated to protract the desirable event, than accelerate its conclusion; it is rather inviting the enemy to hold out exorbitant terms, than to propose such as are likely to procure a lasting peace, which is the avowed, though not the true object of some of these Meetings. We are persuaded that many gentlemen who give their sanction to them, do so from the best and purest motive; but they are not aware perhaps, that to force Petitions of this sort on his Majesty, especially pending a negotiation, must tend to give confidence to the enemy, while it weakens the energy of our own Government.
The Vengeur privateer, lately taken from the French by the Vestal frigate, is supposed to have made more captures than any ship during the war.
The Batavian Convention have appointed a Council of war to try Admiral Lucas, and the rest of the officers of his fleet, lately returned from the Cape of Good Hope.
Letters from Rio de Janeiro, of the 24th Oct. 2, state French frigates and a brig to have been cruising off that coast, and to have captured one English and several Portuguese vessels.
On Saturday seven foreigners, Apprehended at a gaming-house, in Panton-street, were examined at Bow-street. Several persons appeared to the character of four of them, who were in consequence liberated; two others were ordered to remain in custody, till some persons of respectability should vouch for their good conduct; and the seventh was ordered to leave the kingdom, under the provisions of the Alien Bill.
The great Tunnel of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal is finished; it is upwards of a mile and a half in length; vessels of 80 and 100 tons pass and repass through it; it has been nearly three years building.
In the Sitting of the Council of Five Hundred the 8th inst. Delarue denounced the atrocities which the Jacobins, headed by the Commissaries of the Directory, had committed in order to drive the good Citizens out of the Primary Assemblies. This denunciation was followed by a very violent debate; at the close of which the Council resolved, that a message should be sent to the Directory, desiring information of the measures adopted to prevent and check the like disorders; which resolution renders the Directory at once Judge and party.
Camus having in the same Sitting been censured by Dumolard for having illegally granted 750,000 livres in specie to the Minister of General Police, was forced to confess, that it had been done for the purpose of enabling the latter to pay the Emisaries of Government to influence and direct the elections. The list of candidates, Ex Members of the Convention, which was sent Belgium to cause them to be re-elected, consisted mostly of Jacobins, as Poulain, Grandpré, Fourcroy, Goupillon de Fonteney, Delmas, Matthieu, Treillard, and Richard. The rest belonging to what is called the party of the Belly (du ventre), which of late has adopted Jacobin principles, in order to support the Directory. To this party belong Berlier, Cambacérès, Dannou, Jard, Ponvilien, and Quinette. Not one single moderate was on the list which shews the system and sentiments of the actual Government of France; but to Judge by the Electors chosen in Belgium it should seem that the aim of the Directory will be fruitful, and that none but men of moderate terms and pacific sentiments will be chosen Deputies by the Belgians.
The Resolution of the Council of Five Hundred, which binds the Electors to promiscuous attachment to the Republic, was vigorously opposed in the Council of Elders by Tronçon du Condrai, Portalis, Dumas, Barbe Marbois, and other celebrated orators. A nominal appeal having been called for, 114 votes were in favour of the Resolution, and 94 against it; so that it was adopted with the small majority of 20 votes.
LONDON, April 18. Five of the seven deputies of Paris are men of known patriotism; the two are at least equivocal.
Bonnières was an advocate to the ci-devant parliament of Paris; a man of superficial knowledge, an indifferent writer, and a verbose orator: he is known to be an enemy to the revolution, and to have entertained a correspondence with the ci-devant count d'Artois during the constituent assembly. A letter of his to d'Artois was intercepted by the Comité du Recherches; and Bonnières was screened by the interference of a private friend who had influence on the committee. Bonnières was the counsel of M. d'Artois, and of most of the princes and great families of the French nobility; he was elected member of the second national assembly, but refused to accept. However, as he is a time-serving man, and above all things consulting his own interest, he may, without having altered his principles, be now a strenuous supporter of the present constitution; and it is in that way alone, and from his probable profession of republicanism in the popular assemblies, that we may account for his late nomination.
Murins is a ci-devant noble, a good officer of cavalry, a very violent member of the cote droit in the constituent assembly, a man of no common ability, and of inflexible character.
No public event has taken place, either at home or abroad since the commencement
of the war, however unfavorable it may have been to the national prosperity, which has not been falsely commented on and industriously exaggerated by the prints devoted to opposition, to gratify the hatred and jealousy of the Party against Administration. Steady to this principle of gross misrepresentation, a morning paper of yesterday has seized with avidity the recent discontent manifested by the seamen on board the Grand Fleet, and has, with its accustomed malignity and falsehood, made it the ground work of a most violent invective against his Majesty's ministers. But as the plain statement of facts could not authorize the inferences which the writer wished to establish, he found it necessary to shift his ground, and assert that the discontent arose from the wages of the men being one year in arrear, whereas it is positively known, that it has been only produced by a demand for an increase of pay in future.
LONDON, April 25. TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF THE ADMIRALTY.
We, the seamen and mariners in and belonging to his majesty's fleet now lying at Spithead, have received with the utmost satisfaction, and with hearts full of gratitude, the bountiful Augmentation of Pay and Provisions which your lordships have been pleased to signify shall take place in future in his majesty's royal navy by your order, which has been read to us this morning, by the command of admiral lord Bridport.
Your lordships having thus generously taken the prayer of our several petitions into your serious consideration, you have given satisfaction to every loyal and well-disposed seaman and marine belonging to his majesty's fleet; and from the assurance which your lordships have given us respecting such other grievances as we thought right to lay before you, we are thoroughly convinced, should any real grievance or other cause of complaint arise in future, and the same be laid before your lordships, in a regular manner, we are perfectly satisfied that your lordships will pay every attention to a number of brave men, who ever have and ever will be true and faithful to their king and country.
But we beg leave to remind your lordships that it is a firm resolution, that until the flour in port be renewed, the vegetables and pensions augmented, the grievances of private ships be redressed, an act passed, and his majesty's gracious pardon for the fleet now lying at Spithead be granted, that the fleet will not lift an anchor; and this is the total and final answer.
BY THE KING.
A PROCLAMATION.
For pardoning such seamen and marines of the squadron of his majesty's fleet stationed at Spithead, as have been guilty of any act of mutiny or disobedience of orders, or any breach or neglect of duty, and who shall, upon notification of such proclamation on board their respective ships, return to their regular and ordinary discharge of their duty.
GEORGE R. Upon the report of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, of the proceedings of the seamen and marines of the squadron of our fleet stationed at Spithead, and of the measures taken by the said lords commissioners in consequence thereof; and in order to manifest our desire to give due encouragement to all those who shall return to the regular and ordinary discharge of their duty, according to the rules and practice of the navy; we have thought fit, by the advice of our privy council, to issue this our royal proclamation, and do hereby promise our most gracious pardon to all seamen and marines serving on board the said squadron, who shall, upon notification hereof on board their respective ships, return to the regular and ordinary discharge of their duty: And we do hereby declare, that all such seamen and marines, so returning to their duty, shall be discharged and released from all prosecutions, imprisonments, and penalties, incurred by reason of any act of mutiny or disobedience of orders, or any breach or neglect of duty, previously committed by them, or any of them.
Given at our court at Windsor, the twenty-second day of April, one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, and in the thirty-seventh year of our reign. GOD SAVE THE KING.
April 26. In the Times of yesterday we stated, that the Archduke Charles had proposed a truce to the French General Buonaparte, in answer to some overtures he had made to his Royal Highness for peace. This was at first refused; but we now learn that a dispatch from General Graham was received by Lord Grenville on Monday last, informing his Lordship, that a truce had been agreed on between the Archduke Charles and General Buonaparte for SIX DAYS. This truce was signed at the moment when the news of the defeat of the French in the Tyrol arrived at his Royal Highness's Head Quarters.
IRELAND.
BELFAST, April 17.
Last night col. BARBER arrested two of the clerks belonging to the Northern Star Office, and placed guards on all the taverns in town, which he kept there until two o'clock this morning with orders not to let any persons out. He brought a man handcuffed over his face, who pointed out a number of individuals, who immediately were arrested. The whole of those who have been so arrested within a few days past, amounts to near FORTY!
PORTSMOUTH, April 24.
Arrived here this day the Flora and Pearl frigates with a privateer captured by the former; she is named L'Incorroyable, is upwards of 400 tons burthen, mounts 24 guns on her main deck, and had on board 220 men. The prisoners say, that she is the swiftest sailing vessel that ever sailed from
France, and would never have been taken, but from having been becalmed, and the Flora bringing up the breeze with her. This chase lasted three days; the Pearl having chased her from the 11th in the morning; and it was not till the 13th at midnight that she surrendered. Four days previous to L'Incorroyable being chased by the Pearl, she fell in with in the night, another French privateer, called Le Cheri, when an action commenced, which lasted between two and three hours, before they discovered their mistake. The distance of their engaging must probably, have been very great, as no man was hurt on either side.
Last night all was quiet in the fleet at Spithead, except in one or two ships; and that only occasioned by a few refractory rascals, whom the good sense of the rest of the ship's company soon brought to order.
Immediately after the firing the sun set, the ship's company of his Majesty's ship Royal William, went aft, sent a message by a midshipman, that the ship's company requested to see all the Lieutenants on deck (their intention being unknown), when much to their surprise, the officers were told by the ship's company in general, that the conduct of capt. Prickmore and officers had been such during the whole of this affair, that they could not help coming aft to return them their most humble thanks; which was done by three times three.
This afternoon dropped down to St. Helen's, his Majesty's ship Royal Sovereign, Vice Admiral Sir Alan Gardner, with the first division of the fleet under his command, viz. the Duke, Impetueux, Mars and Robuste.
The remainder of the fleet will follow to-morrow, and will, I trust, should the French venture out, convince their king and country, by giving a good account of them, that they are staunch to both.
The following Answer was returned by the Lord Mayor yesterday morning to the requisition to call a common hall, for the purpose of taking the Sheriff's report into consideration. We think the answer does credit to his Lordship, and that it is precisely such as he ought to have given:—
Mansion House, 25th April, 1797.
GENTLEMEN,
Having fully considered the requisition signed by a number of the Liverymen of London, and delivered to me by you on the 22d inst. wherein they request of me to convene a common hall within eight days, for the purpose of taking into consideration the report of the Sheriffs, communicated to the Livery in Common Hall assembled on Wednesday the 12th inst. and to investigate the real causes of the awful and alarming state of public affairs, and to adopt such measures as may be expedient in the present conjuncture. I request of you, gentlemen, to inform them, that I will most readily convene a common hall any day in the coming week which may be most convenient to them (after the termination of the sessions at the Old Bailey) for the purpose of taking into consideration the report of the Sheriffs communicated to the Livery in common hall assembled on Wednesday the 12th inst.; but that I deem it incompatible with my duty to assemble the Livery, for the purpose of investigating the real causes of the awful and alarming state of public affairs, a proposition too extensive and unqualified to admit of discussion in an assembly confessedly not deliberative.
I am, Gentlemen,
Your humble Servant,
Brook Watson, Mayor.
To Messrs. Thomas Reeve, John Elsee, and Samuel Miller.
PORTSMOUTH, April 19.
Extract of a private letter.
Yesterday at 11 o'clock, lord Spencer and two other lords of the Admiralty arrived, in order to settle the grievances which the seamen of the fleet make the pretence of their late disobedient and disorderly conduct. As soon as their arrival was made known, lord Bridport, sir Alan Gardner, and Admiral Colpoys, waited on their lordships, who were attended by sir Peter Parker, the Commander in Chief at this port.
Yesterday failed his Majesty's ship Romney, with a convoy, to Newfoundland, after being liberated from an embargo laid upon her by the sailors of the fleet, who were resolved no ship should sail until they were assured their demand should be complied with. The duty of the fleet is not suspended, though the seamen are perfectly masters, and do just what they please. Every ship has a yard-rope ready at the fore-yard-arm, to hang any person who breaks through their own regulations; still no insults are offered to any of the officers, whose necessary orders are carried on as before this confusion commenced. I fear it will be difficult to comply with all the demands of the sailors, who have been evidently set on by villains who are known traitors to their king and country. The La Nymphé is just arrived, and the Monarch gone out of harbour to Spithead.
The Royal William's crew not cheering morning and evening, were sent to by the people of the Royal Sovereign to say that if they did not, they would fire into them.
Extract of a letter from Portsmouth, dated April 19.
The discontents which have for several days existed, and still exist, on board the Grand Fleet at Spithead, have assumed a very formidable and systematic character. The business of the seamen is conducted by a Committee, chosen from amongst themselves, of four men from each ship, who hold their discussions in the Admiral's cabin of the Royal George. They have published their petition, which is now in the press, and is to be distributed gratis amongst the fleet to-morrow morning. It consists of several pages. The purport is said to be,—first—An increase of pay to 1 shilling per day; full weight of provisions of 16 ounces to the pound—a greater proportion of prize money—
and an asylum or pension for all persons wounded in the service. It is understood that the two first demands have been acceded to by Earl Spencer, so far as promising to lay the same before his Majesty; but this promise they are not satisfied with, and are determined to know the result of his Majesty's deliberation on their petition. At present the whole fleet is entirely at their command. They take the boats at pleasure, and communicate with ship. Yesterday they sent on board the Romney, of 50 guns, and ordered her to sea: The crew were anxious to stay, to know the result of the petition; but the Deputation which was sent on board said, it was for the good of the country they should go with the convoy, and absolutely ordered them to proceed to sea; and in consequence the ship got under weigh, and went down to St. Helen's immediately, where she only waits for a fair wind.
GOSPORT, April 19.
The seamen in Hasler hospital have joined the sailors, and express their approbation of their proceedings by a flag which they have flying, and by huzzas.
There is not so much as a woman permitted to leave the ships. They will not suffer a line of battle ship to leave Spithead, only frigates with convoys. There are very few boats suffered to go on shore, and scarce an officer is to be seen in Portsmouth, Portsea, or Gosport. A ship went out of harbour this day, and, directly she got into Spithead, gave three cheers, the signal for joining the fleet. The shop-merchants are not even permitted to come on shore, they let boats come alongside to bring them goods. The whole of the marines on board are disarmed, and they have got the keep of the magazines.
LONDON, April 27.
An express was received from Portsmouth yesterday morning, stating that the harmony at length restored to the fleet happily continued, and the first division of the fleet got under weigh to fall down to St. Helen's. This is a satisfactory proof of the genuine and loyal character of British seamen. The moment that their grievances were redressed, they returned to their duty with cheerfulness and alacrity. That it may be for ever buried in oblivion is our earnest prayer, or that it be only recollected to prove that there is not the horror in representations of grievance, which a corrupt government is inclined to impute to all petitions of the people. That harmony may be perfectly restored, it is surely indistinct to enumerate and record all the instances of intemperate behaviour that may have occurred on board particular ships. In such a crisis, an expression, however inoffensive, may have given disgust; and a valuable, gallant officer, may be injured in his reputation by the mere breath of rumour. To retail all the mischievous reports of the Platform at Portsmouth, and collect all the stories which were magnified on every repetition, would only serve to sow the seeds of future jealousy and discord in the fleet, and prevent the union to which the natural generosity of the hearts of our seamen is inclined.
We deprecate also the lamentations of those who pretend to see in this great event, a revolution in the system of British discipline. This whining cant may make the change which they affect to deplore; since it is an acknowledgment of weakness that would engender and animate disobedience. But let us view it without prejudices, and we shall view it without alarm. The grievances must have been severely felt and long suffered that could give rise to a confederacy so general, so systematic, so well combined, and so temperately conducted. Its management is a proof that it was not the effect of sudden passion—nor was the feeling local. In what new light then, does this event serve to make us consider the British seaman? Are we to learn from this, that they are patient and forbearing, but when roused, firm, constant and unconquerable. Thank God, it was always their character, and it will continue to be their character. This event has created no change; except, as we have said before, that it will serve as an useful admonition to government not to slight the grievances of the seamen when presented in the prudent and humble guise of a petition without signatures. It is a painful task for pride to grant to remonstrance what was refused to prayer. Morn. Chron.
VIENNA, April 1.
The king of Sardinia has sent two Commissioners to Milan, to make the necessary preparations for the march of the Sardinian troops which are to join the French army.
PARIS, 2 Floreal, April 21.
A crowd of strangers, whose appearance, manner, and discourse, are of the most suspicious kind, have within these few days past arrived at Paris. They are perhaps intended to effect some coup de main before the introduction of the second third into the legislature.
4 Floreal, April 23.
Mr. Madison, of Virginia, arrived here the 21st, in the quality of envoy extraordinary from the United States of America. He is invested with powers to settle the differences that exist between Congress and the Directory. [Curious Error.]
5 Floreal, April 24.
The secret meetings of terrorists are more frequent and more active than they have hitherto been since the attack on the camp of Grenelle. Plots are said to be on foot for setting fire to different quarters of Paris, and to assassinate all the Chouans of the legislative body and of the Directory, and in general all wealthy citizens.
6 Floreal, April 25.
The city of Nantes is in a state of disturbance. The anarchists have attempted to assassinate citizen Norman, formerly chief of the legion of Nantes, and lately elected member of the legislature. At Arles, the Brigands having posted themselves on the road to Aix, for the purpose of butchering the electors, were repulsed by a strong escort.

The Pope has granted leave to the Monks and Nuns in the Lower Countries to accept new monastic bonds, by which the estates, formerly belonging to their convents and monasteries, are mortgaged for the pensions assigned them for life.
Don Joseph Massaredo, the new appointed commander in chief of the Spanish fleet, has received orders to fit out, with the utmost expedition, as many armed vessels as he can collect, and to man them, in want of seamen, with land troops.
Barrere has been chosen deputy to the legislative body by the electoral assembly of Tarbes. The Apollo of Belvidere, and 12 wagons filled with a part of the precious articles of the fine arts agreed to be given up by the treaty with the Pope, are now on their way to Paris.
8 Floreal, April 27. In Corsica the Jacobin Salicetti has been elected a deputy to the legislative body. At Riom, a very serious affray has taken place between the Jacobins, who are displeased with the elections, and several persons were wounded.
Lagras, the foreman of the jury on the assassination of Sieyes, proceeded yesterday to the Temple prison to interrogate Brottier, Lavelleumois and Prieux.
9 Floreal, April 28. The two citizens Theulier, brothers and editors of the Journal General de France, are confined in the prison of La Force, for having called the Directors, Kings with iron sceptres.
ARRET OF 21 GERMINAL, APRIL 20. The Executive Directory directs, that the passports granted by the Ministers and Diplomatic Envoys of the United States of America, or passports certified by them, shall not be admitted nor acknowledged by any authority. The Minister of Police is charged with the execution of this Arret, which shall be printed.
(Signed) REWBELL, President. LAGARDE, Sec. Gen. LONDON, April 25 to May 4. The following counties, cities, and towns, have already petitioned for peace, and the dismission of administration: Surrey, Dublin, Kent, Glasgow, Hampshire, Paisley, Cambridgeshire, Nottingham, Gloucestershire, Leicester, Bedfordshire, Boston, Forfarshire, Steynings, London, Salisbury, Westminster, Canterbury, and Southwark, Rochester. Middlesex, Yorkshire and Northumberland are to meet in a few days. On some trifling advantages gained recently by the imperial troops over the French in Italy, it is said the inhabitants of Verona, in Venice, assembled, and destroyed 500 French in the hospitals in that city. In consequence it is added, Angereau ordered that city to be set fire to, and destroyed;—And demanded of the Doge other satisfaction, which was of necessity, granted. The Dutch fleet have again left the Texel. Admiral Duncan sails immediately in pursuit of them.
Courier Revolution in the Venetian Territory. MILAN, April 4. The Republican Revolution in some of the Venetian towns, in which the French have as yet taken no direct part, does not meet with such universal approbation, but many bloody frays have been the consequence. About 4000 inhabitants of the mountains of the province of Bergamo, and particularly of Imagna and St. Martino, who do not wish any change in their Government, have opposed the inhabitants of the town, and on the 30th of March advanced against Bergamo. The people of the town drew out their artillery; and many of the Peasants were killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. The dead were exposed the whole day in Bergamo, before the tree of liberty. Other parts of the provinces have declared for the towns and their revolution. We learned the day before yesterday, that a corps of national guards, who arrived with some artillery at Salo, on the Lake of Garda, met apparently with a fraternal reception, but were afterwards surrounded, and partly killed or taken prisoners. Many of the inhabitants of Milan, Bergamo, and Brescia, are now marching against Salo, to take vengeance of that city.
VENICE, April 8. The inhabitants of our continental possessions, who were forced to a revolution in the manner of the French, are full of resentment. The city of Crema has refused to accede to the revolution of the cities of Bergamo and Brescia, and would not plant the tree of liberty. Eight hundred Revolutionists from adjacent places entered the town, and forced them to accede to the revolution. This proceeding made all the Peasants of the districts of Crema, Salo, &c. rise in arms, and march against the troops which were ordered against them, under the command of three revolutionary Generals, namely, Counts Lecchi, Ferdinand Gambara, with two pieces of cannon from Brescia. The Peasants, assisted by a few hundred Venetian regulars, killed or took the three Revolutionary Generals, and killed 300 men of the national guards of Brescia, and took as many more prisoners. Since this event, most of the inhabitants of the Venetian provinces are determined to defend the old Constitution and their homes from the rage of the Revolutionists, and the adherents of the French.
PRECIPITATE EXPULSION OF THE FRENCH FROM TYROL. INSPRUCK, April 10. On the 7th the enemy began their retreat from Innsbruck, in three columns, and burnt the bridge, to cover their retreat. General Kerpen is pursuing them with his army, and the whole body of the peasantry.
April 12. On the 10 General Kerpen wrote from Brunecken that the enemy, on the 8th were at Lieutze, and on the 9th had evacuated the whole valley of Puster. The advanced guard of Gen. Kerpen was, on the 9th, at Silan, and ordered to extend itself to Lieutze. The levy of the peasants in a mts. has greatly contributed to drive out the enemy.
This morning early a courier arrived from Newmark, with official advices, dated the 10th by which we learn, that the brave Gen. Laudohn, after a smart action had taken Laxen, and pursued the flying enemy half way to Trent. These advices were published by count Lehrbach.
TYROL, April 13. We hope now that the enemy will soon be driven entirely out of the Tyrol, as they already are from what is called German Tyrol.—The Austrian advanced posts already extend to Roveredo. The French, in their hasty retreat out of Tyrol, through Carinthia, &c. have left a great number of men, who fell a sacrifice to the enraged peasantry. At Botzen, great quantities of ammunition, baggage and arms, were taken, and divided among the peasants. In some places the retreat of the enemy was cut off. Gen. Laudohn, on the 4th was in great danger from the blowing up of a powder wagon.
SALZBURG, April 10. Yesterday a courier arrived here with advice that an armistice for 6 days had been concluded to negotiate a peace. An Austrian officer at the same time brought orders to the 20,000 men that are in this country not to move till they receive further directions. The archduke Charles and general Buonaparte correspond continually; the report, however, that the preliminaries of peace were already signed, was premature. The Austrians have fortified the fortress of Wels, ten leagues from this place. Should peace not be signed on the 13th, when the armistice expires, the French will continue their march in three columns; the centre commanded by Buonaparte, will march against Lower Austria; the other column against Croatia, and the third against Linz.
VIENNA, April 10. OPERATIONS IN THE TYROL. General Baron Laudohn on the 4th, took Botzen, and followed up his successes, came on the rear of the enemy by the Gunter Road. The enemy abandoned the post of Clausen, evacuated Brixen, and retreated by the valley of Puster, taking post by Brunecken. During this success, Baron Kerpen with his corps joined Laudohn, took up his quarters in Brixen, and extended his advanced posts to Muhlbach. The enemy left considerable quantities of provisions in Brixen, but threw a great deal of ammunition into the water. According to accounts from Agram, a cordon has been drawn from the right bank of the Drave to the left bank of the Saw, to cover the Frontiers towards Carinthia, and to threaten the flank and rear of the enemy should they advance. This position is covered with redoubts, and the chain of troops maintain a communication with that extending from the Urkokerbeg by Mottling, and along the Carolina.
TURIN, April 15. A courier extraordinary from general Buonaparte arrived last night in this city. His dispatches contain a very urgent invitation for general Clarke to repair instantly to head quarters, about 10 leagues from Vienna, if he wished to be present at the ceremony of signing the terms of peace. An armistice had been concluded, and which was to expire on the 23rd Germinal, —Unfortunately the overflowing of a river had delayed the progress of the courier 30 hours; so that it is supposed that the peace will be concluded before M. Clarke can reach the place of destination, which cannot happen in less than five days.
HOUSE OF COMMONS—May 3. The Princess Royal's Marriage. Mr. Pitt delivered the following message from his Majesty: George R. His Majesty having agreed to the marriage of his eldest daughter, the Princess Royal, with the Hereditary Prince of Württemberg, has thought it expedient to communicate intelligence of it to the house of commons. His Majesty is fully persuaded, that the marriage of her Royal Highness with a Protestant Prince so considerably in rank and station, who is connected with the Royal Family by common descent from the Princess Sophia of Hanover, cannot but be acceptable to all his subjects;—and the many proofs of affection and attachment to his person and family which he has received from this house, afford him no room to doubt, that they will enable him to give such a portion to his eldest daughter as may be suited to the dignity of the crown.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said, that the subject was of such a nature as he was sure made it unnecessary for him to say a word on the complexion of the address which the house should make in return.—He therefore should move, that an humble address should be presented to his Majesty, in consequence of the above message; which was agreed to, nom. con.
PORTSMOUTH, April 27. The shipwrights in the dock yard have been in a disturbed state for two days past, owing to some supposed delinquency in one of the quartermen, on whose discharge, however, peace is restored. Would to Heaven the King would hearken to the prayers of nine tenths of his people, and by discharging his present quartermen, give a chance once more to this ruined, degraded country, to enjoy the blessings of peace.
MAY 2. A confirmation of the loss of his Majesty's ship Albion, of 60 guns, captain Hamilton, in the Swin as stated in our paper of Tuesday, is received at the admiralty. Every possible exertion was made to get her off, but in vain;—on Saturday she went to pieces. The crew were all saved, and yesterday they were turned over to the Lancaster, of 64 guns, now fitting out at Deptford. Yesterday the Medusa of 50 guns joined Lord Bridport's fleet at St. Helen's.
LISBON, March 23. The Declaration of War against us on the part of Spain still remains suspended; our Court does all it can to keep it so, for so far as it carries its Compliance, that though our Army and Navy are in want of gun-powder, and Admiral Jervis offered us the powder taken on board the Spanish Prizes, it was (in the hope of preventing hostilities) refused. The rival Armies remain encamped opposite each other; our lines are extended from the Tagus to the Guadiana, having the Guadiana and the fortresses of Elvas on
our right, Montalvan on the Tagus on our left, and our centre supported by the fortifications of Portalegre and castello de Vide; the Spanish lines extend from the Guadiana to the Tagus, having Badajoz on their left, Alcantara on their right, and Albuquerque in their centre. At Alcantara there is a bridge across the Tagus. Our Army consists of about 33,000 men, commanded by the Duke d'ALVALENCE, who is a near relation of the Queen's. On the arrival of the remaining troops from Porto-Ferrajo, the English Army will be increased to the number of 10,000; this, however, includes the French Emigrants. We hear that the Spaniards mean to attack us in the same manner they did last war. When one Army crossed the Tagus at Alcantara, and down its banks to Villa Velha, another besieged and took one of our strongest border fortresses, Almeida, and another entered at the North-east part of our territory. The Officer who commanded the Spanish Army at the siege of Almeida, is a Frenchman, and has since entered into our service, and commands the Portuguese Artillery.
PARIS, April 27. The Adjutant-general Le Clerc, informs us, that at the moment when he left the army of Italy, Buonaparte and Prince Charles had by a contract concluded with all the Diplomatic forms, declared the neutrality of the place of their meeting—it was in a private garden. The first difficulty that occurred was, the precedence claimed to the Emperor; which the French gen. without difficulty recognized, declaring the French Republic was too great to attach any importance to vain ceremony. They then entered in great state, at opposite points of the garden; the overtures were opened and a second armistice signed. Buonaparte reading at the head of the Preliminaries of Peace, that the Emperor recognized the French Republic, required the erasure of this article, persuaded that the Republic had no need of the consent of his Imperial Majesty to give it existence.—The French Republic, said Buonaparte, is like the sun above the horizon. Blinded indeed are they, whom its rays have not yet pierced. The article was expunged. Such was the state of the negotiation when Le Clerc was dispatched.
The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, June 14.
MARRIED, on the Evening of the 8th instant, at the seat of Colonel Ramsay, Carpenter's Point, Cecil County, by the Rev. Mr. Ireland, Mr. SEPTIMINUS CLAYPOOLE, of the City of Philadelphia, to the amiable Miss ELIZABETH POLK.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, TUESDAY, JUNE 13.
Mr. OTIS reported a bill to suspend the additional duties laid on India and China goods, last session, from the 1st of July to the 1st of October; twice read, committed, and made the order of the day for to-morrow. In committee of the whole on the bill for further fortifying the ports and harbors of the United States. Mr. GALLATIN moved that the blank for the sum to be appropriated be filled up with 50,000 dollars. Mr. W. SMITH moved that it be 200,000. Mr. ALLEN moved that the amendment agreed to yesterday be reconsidered, as to admitting an addition by which the ports of New-York and Charleston should not be excluded from the benefits of the mediatory repairs and defences, at least until after a requisition had been made to the respective States for a cession of the jurisdiction of the fortified places, and a refusal of compliance on their parts. The motion was productive of a debate of considerable length, in which the propriety of reconsideration was strenuously advocated, not only by the members from New-York, but also by many other members, who had yesterday voted in favor of the amendment. On a division, the motion was lost; ayes 42, noes 53. On the motion of general Smith, the question was put on filling up the blanks with 100,000 dollars, and negatived; 38 only rising in the affirmative. 80,000 dollars was then proposed by Mr. W. SMITH, for which there appeared the same number. The question was then put on 75,000, which was carried. On motion of Mr. W. SMITH, (Ch.) after long debate, 40,000 dollars for South Carolina and Georgia were added to the bill. The privateering bill was received from the senate, with their concurrence in the amendments which had been made in the house. Committee on enrolled bill reported a bill for prohibiting, for a limited time, the exportation of arms, ammunition, &c. as correctly enrolled. Adjourned.

BOSTON, June 9. The whole number of votes for federal representatives in the first eastern district, were 3058, of which general Dearborn had 1449, honorable Isaac Parker 1606, scattering 3. By which the election of the latter gentleman is full ascertained.
HAVING been lately published as a Coward by Wilson Hunt, I request the Public to listen to a plain story, and then to affix the name of Coward to whom it shall belong. On the 8th June, walking from the coffee-house to dinner with some company, I mentioned a current report and which I had just heard at the coffee house, That Wilson Hunt, in a late challenge he sent to Mr. Orr, had contrived afterwards to have it known, for when the confidants arrived to bind him over, he had his furies ready. I went home and never mentioned or thought of the report again. Between 11 and 12 o'clock at night I was called on by major De BUTTS with challenge from Wilson Hunt, to meet him at 5 o'clock the next morning. I went instantly out to see him, and found him between my door and the corner, and was going to speak, but he said he would not hear me, I must comply with his terms, and if I had any thing to say, I must speak to major De BUTTS; upon which I complained to major De BUTTS of this ungentlemanlike treatment, told him I knew of no injury I had done Mr. Hunt, that what I had said was a common report, and I could find him an author. I requested him to call on Mr. Hunt and persuade him to let me speak to him. Major De BUTTS returned and said Mr. Hunt was not to be pacified, and was resolved to publish his letter if I did not recant him by 5 o'clock. I positively declared I would not meet him at that hour, for I was neither provided with a friend or weapon, and I thought when Mr. Hunt could do on the business, he would allow me to explain to him; for though it was a common report, yet I had an author. I asked major De BUTTS if he had not heard the report; he said yes. I asked him if he thought I ought to meet Mr. Hunt; he said no. I told him as he behaved so candidly with me, that I would leave the matter to him, and that if Mr. Hunt still persisted in making me the author, and would receive no explanation, I most assuredly would meet him. He said he should not see Mr. Hunt that night, but he knew Mr. Hunt was determined to publish the letter. We parted; it was about 12 o'clock at night. The next morning I heard the letter was published. I immediately carried my answer to major De BUTTS who perused it and made some little correction, and then sent it to the press. All this time I had not seen his publication, presuming it was no more than the letter I had received, but I afterwards discovered he had introduced the letter to the public with a preface branding me with the name of coward. A new face of things now appearing it became necessary that I should wipe away this aspersion that might fall on me and my children if suffered to pass over in silence.
I resolved to call this intemperate young man to account. I then requested my friend gen. M'PHERSON to wait on him and inform him he must retract that word and that I was willing to receive an apology, for I did not wish to hurry him into a duel. General M'PHERSON informed me he had waited on Mr. Hunt, who said he would endeavor to find his friend and would then give him his answer. After this the next day I was waited on by Mr. Higbee who thought he would be able to persuade Mr. Hunt to do the thing that was proper. The time was postponed and retraced by Mr. Hunt, till about 5 o'clock the evening of the 10th instant, when General M'PHERSON waited on me, and told me Mr. Hunt would make no apology, and that on Sunday morning at 6 o'clock would meet at Cooper's upper ferry in the state of Jersey. This spot was mutually agreed on to relieve Mr. Hunt who was already under the civil authority of this state. I then parted with my friend Gen. M'PHERSON, saw no one else, and some time after went to bed. About 12 o'clock that night I was waited on as Mr. Hunt terms it, by the civil authority, whom I thanked for their tender concern of me, and dismissed them. At 6 o'clock the next morning I was on the ground appointed in the state of Jersey. During our passage across the river and whilst on the ground no conversation relative to this business passed between the General and myself. He requested me to wait on the ground till he went to the house to look for Mr. Hunt. He returned and brought Mr. Higbee, who before he left Philadelphia said he had informed General M'PHERSON that the civil authority had interfered, who replied that the ground was not changed as to Mr. Hunt's situation; Mr. Higbee, then went off after composing their watches and said, they would meet unqualifiedly, be on the ground. (General M'PHERSON never related to me any of this conversation with Mr. Higbee till after his return!) Mr. Higbee then mentioned that he called on Mr. Hunt to attend him to the place of meeting, but who replied, that the civil authority had interfered, and he could not go consistent with his honor. Mr. Higbee then went down to the wharf to prevent our crossing, but seeing us on the river he returned to Mr. Hunt, and told him we had crossed and conjured him to go, but Mr. Hunt continued firm, and relied on the civil authority. Mr. Higbee requested me to return to my family as quick as possible for the business was now closed.—I have shown this piece before I committed it to press to General M'PHERSON and Mr. Higbee who have approved of it, and are now referred to as to what relates to the part they took in this business. The public will then decide whether the word coward shall be applied to this intemperate young man, or that the opprobrium of so disgraceful an epithet shall rest on me and my children. W. W. BURROWS. June 12, 1797. N.B. The exercise of the civil authority was no more than an order to wait on the chief justice at 10 o'clock the next morning, which interview was to be four hours after our appointment.
