DEBATE on the bill supplementary to and to amend the act entitled an act authorizing the President of the United States to raise a provisional army.
DEBATE on the bill supplementary to and to amend the act entitled an act authorizing the President of the United States to raise a provisional army.
(Concluded from our last.) Mr. S. SMITH observed, that gentlemen in support of this motion said, that the volunteers ought to be favoured, because they clothe and equip themselves at their own expence; and do not, asked Mr. S. the militia the same? But is it a fact that the volunteers arm themselves? No; the house has agreed to lend them arms, and after the power to lend has been given, he apprehended few would be bought. What would the great body of the militia say, provided the present motion were to pass? They would say, "we are obliged to answer any call which may be made upon us; but these volunteers whom you have taken from our body, and to whom you have given arms, remain at home." Would not this offend the great body of militia? It certainly would. Besides, would any military man take command of a body of troops, who, when they came to a certain line might lay down their arms, and refuse with impunity to march any farther? They certainly would not, as such a circumstance might occasion the most serious consequences; for it would be recollected, that during the war, men who were engaged for six months only went off on the very day their time expired, and on which an action took place, which occasioned a defeat of the American Army. But the committee were told by the gentleman from Delaware (Mr. BAYARD) that except this motion was agreed to, we should have no volunteers, or at least very few. If so, we had better have none. If these young men with only to fight by their own fire-sides, they had better remain with the militia, and go into the ranks with older men. It would not be worth while to form a separate corps of them. Indeed, if he had a son that would enter into such a corps, he should be ashamed of him, and he would disinherit him, and he was persuaded that the young men of America would not thank gentlemen for placing them in such a situation as was proposed. If they wished to place them in a ridiculous point of view, or to procure for them the name of the Silk Stocking Company, or any other term of derision, they could not take a more effectual course to obtain it. He hoped, therefore, this proposition would not be agreed to. Mr. BROOKS did not view the clause under consideration in so exceptional a point of view as his friend from Maryland, or he would not vote for it. He knew that a provision similar to this made a part of the former bill. How it came to be struck out, he could not tell; but he believed it was done without debate. Gentlemen spoke of the favourable situation in which these volunteers will be placed, if this provision is agreed to; but they do not weigh the matter on both sides. They forget that the militia cannot be called into service for a longer term than three months at a time, and it was never known that militia were called very far from home. The idea of marching these volunteers from one part of the United States to the other, was rather imaginary than real. In the course of last war, the militia was scarcely ever called beyond the bounds of an adjoining state; but he had no doubt if the service of their country should stand in need of these young men, they would not suffer their ardour to be overcome by an ideal line. He believed these young men would prove better troops than any other, and perhaps prevent the necessity of raising any other. The gentleman from Maryland has said, that if he had a son who would enter into a corps under such a restriction as this, he would disown him. Other gentlemen would be equally concerned with him, if their sons were to take advantage of such a clause in time of danger. But he did not think it would be right to terrify young men from the service by holding up more severe duty for them than it would be likely they would ever be called to perform. He hoped, therefore, the amendment would be agreed to. Mr. MILLEDGE said, if this provision was agreed to, the State of Georgia could only expect assistance from the volunteers of one State; and the exposed situation of that State is well known. The United States ought certainly to be protected in every part; and in the last war it was usual for the flower of the American people to fly to the most extreme parts of the Union whenever danger appeared. Mr. OTIS did not believe that any provision could be thought of which could be more effectual in discouraging these voluntary associations than a provision of this kind. His friend from Delaware spoke of these young men as if they were to be singled out for distant service in preference to any other troops, and he was afraid such a suggestion and a motion like the present, might have an undue effect out of doors. For though he believed there are a great number of young men ready to come forward, he believed the adoption of this motion would prevent them from doing so. He rose, therefore, to remind the committee that the volunteers have no reason to believe they will ever be called upon to go upon any distant service, except in such cases as would induce them to it whether they were volunteers, or not. As to the idea of these Volunteers superseding the necessity of regular troops, he had no such opinion. He believed that neither Volunteers nor Militia would be a sufficient defence without regular troops; and as there had been no instance in the last war in which the Militia had been sent to any great distance from home, he thought it could not be reasonably expected that these Young Men would be very soon sent from their own homes. But if this provision was agreed to, he was afraid other arguments would be made use of, rather to discourage than favour these establishments. Instead of evincing any extraordinary degree of spirit and bravery, it would be said their object was to stay at home—they would be called The Silk Stocking Corps: the Irrelavals, &c. But it was said, except this clause was agreed to, no Volunteers would enter the service. He had not been out of the city; but he had the pleasure to see every morning, from 3 to 4 o'clock young men exercising themselves in military discipline. He also saw troops of

What would the great body of the militia say, provided the present motion were to pass? They would say, "we are obliged to answer any call which may be made upon us; but these volunteers whom you have taken from our body, and to whom you have given arms, remain at home." Would not this offend the great body of militia? It certainly would. Besides, would any military man take command of a body of troops, who, when they came to a certain line might lay down their arms, and refuse with impunity to march any farther? They certainly would not, as such a circumstance might occasion the most serious consequences; for it would be recollected, that during the war, men who were engaged for six months only went off on the very day their time expired, and on which an action took place, which occasioned a defeat of the American Army. But the committee were told by the gentleman from Delaware (Mr. BAYARD) that except this motion was agreed to, we should have no volunteers, or at least very few. If so, we had better have none. If these young men with only to fight by their own fire-sides, they had better remain with the militia, and go into the ranks with older men. It would not be worth while to form a separate corps of them. Indeed, if he had a son that would enter into such a corps, he should be ashamed of him, and he would disinherit him, and he was persuaded that the young men of America would not thank gentlemen for placing them in such a situation as was proposed. If they wished to place them in a ridiculous point of view, or to procure for them the name of the Silk Stocking Company, or any other term of derision, they could not take a more effectual course to obtain it. He hoped, therefore, this proposition would not be agreed to. Mr. BROOKS did not view the clause under consideration in so exceptional a point of view as his friend from Maryland, or he would not vote for it. He knew that a provision similar to this made a part of the former bill. How it came to be struck out, he could not tell; but he believed it was done without debate. Gentlemen spoke of the favourable situation in which these volunteers will be placed, if this provision is agreed to; but they do not weigh the matter on both sides. They forget that the militia cannot be called into service for a longer term than three months at a time, and it was never known that militia were called very far from home. The idea of marching these volunteers from one part of the United States to the other, was rather imaginary than real. In the course of last war, the militia was scarcely ever called beyond the bounds of an adjoining state; but he had no doubt if the service of their country should stand in need of these young men, they would not suffer their ardour to be overcome by an ideal line. He believed these young men would prove better troops than any other, and perhaps prevent the necessity of raising any other. The gentleman from Maryland has said, that if he had a son who would enter into a corps under such a restriction as this, he would disown him. Other gentlemen would be equally concerned with him, if their sons were to take advantage of such a clause in time of danger. But he did not think it would be right to terrify young men from the service by holding up more severe duty for them than it would be likely they would ever be called to perform. He hoped, therefore, the amendment would be agreed to. Mr. MILLEDGE said, if this provision was agreed to, the State of Georgia could only expect assistance from the volunteers of one State; and the exposed situation of that State is well known. The United States ought certainly to be protected in every part; and in the last war it was usual for the flower of the American people to fly to the most extreme parts of the Union whenever danger appeared. Mr. OTIS did not believe that any provision could be thought of which could be more effectual in discouraging these voluntary associations than a provision of this kind. His friend from Delaware spoke of these young men as if they were to be singled out for distant service in preference to any other troops, and he was afraid such a suggestion and a motion like the present, might have an undue effect out of doors. For though he believed there are a great number of young men ready to come forward, he believed the adoption of this motion would prevent them from doing so. He rose, therefore, to remind the committee that the volunteers have no reason to believe they will ever be called upon to go upon any distant service, except in such cases as would induce them to it whether they were volunteers, or not. As to the idea of these Volunteers superseding the necessity of regular troops, he had no such opinion. He believed that neither Volunteers nor Militia would be a sufficient defence without regular troops; and as there had been no instance in the last war in which the Militia had been sent to any great distance from home, he thought it could not be reasonably expected that these Young Men would be very soon sent from their own homes. But if this provision was agreed to, he was afraid other arguments would be made use of, rather to discourage than favour these establishments. Instead of evincing any extraordinary degree of spirit and bravery, it would be said their object was to stay at home—they would be called The Silk Stocking Corps: the Irrelavals, &c. But it was said, except this clause was agreed to, no Volunteers would enter the service. He had not been out of the city; but he had the pleasure to see every morning, from 3 to 4 o'clock young men exercising themselves in military discipline. He also saw troops of
horse going through their evolutions. He believed a similar spirit existed also in N. York, and other large towns, and he trusted, therefore, that the opinion of his friend from Delaware would prove to have been unfounded. The question was put and negatived, there being only 19 votes in favour of it. Mr. DAYTON moved to amend the bill by adding the word "legions", which was agreed to. The committee then rose, and the House having agreed to the amendments reported, Mr. SEWALL renewed his motion of an additional section, authorizing the President of the United States immediately to appoint such officers as he shall think necessary for the better qualified for the better raising of the provisional army, whenever he shall think it necessary. The motion was taken by yeas and nays, and carried 42 to 39. (The yeas and nays were given in our paper of June 16.) Mr. S. SMITH then renewed his motion for striking out certain words, in order to confine the loan of arms to pieces of artillery alone. His opinion was that small arms ought not to be lent to the Volunteers. He thought them much better able to purchase arms than the Militia; and if it was determined to lend them, the probability would be that none would be bought. Mr. BROOKS observed, the Volunteers could not purchase arms until they are to be sold; and he believed government had arms which they could lend, but which they had no authority to sell. Mr. OTIS said, if the gentleman from N. York could demonstrate the fact, that government has guns to lend and not to sell, it would have some weight upon his vote; or if arms could be bought, he should certainly be in favour of the motion of the gentleman from Maryland, as he did not think these volunteers ought to be excused from burdens laid upon the Militia. Mr. BROOKS had no doubt of the fact. Mr. SITGREAVES observed that a principle had been assumed by gentlemen on all sides, which he thought it important to be exposed, and which ought to be abandoned.—Gentlemen seem to think there would be no propriety in extending to these corps exemptions which are not also given to the Militia. It is said, they are on no better footing than the Militia, and that they ought, therefore, to buy their own arms. He believed the true policy of this country lay on the other side. Whilst we are endeavouring to organize the youth and active citizens of the country, in order to be ready to render service to their country at the first call, without regard to place, or limitation of service; when making this invitation, Congress ought certainly to encourage it by all the motives which can be given; and if Congress can, by lending these Young Men arms, induce them to turn out, they ought to do it; or, if there be any other way of attaining the end, it ought to be taken. Gentlemen speak on this occasion, as if there were no probability of having any Volunteers, other than Young Men of property, such as are generally seen associating in Philadelphia and New York. He hoped the same enthusiasm which had fired the young men of the cities, would also reach the young men in the country, and that we should, in consequence, have volunteers in agricultural, as well as commercial districts; and in those districts, it must be known, that if public aid is not given, arms of uniform bore and size cannot be got. These Volunteers, Mr. S. said, undertake greater service than the Militia; their engagements are of a superior kind, and, in order to induce young men generally to enter into these corps, every proper encouragement ought to be held out to them. Mr. R. WILLIAMS said, it appeared to him that gentlemen very much abandoned the ground which they originally took. The house were told when the subject of Volunteers was first under consideration, that these youths would produce a very formidable defence for the United States, without cost, until they came into actual service. These were reasons urged in favour of them, when gentlemen spoke of the Militia as being the natural and best defence of the country; but now gentlemen propose for them one privilege after another. It was said, at that time, that the raising of these corps would not injure the Militia, because they would be liable to do much more duty, and be at greater expenses, and that nothing but love of country, could induce young men thus to come forward. But now, and on former occasions, attempts have been made to obtain regulations in their favour. They had hitherto been refused, and he trusted they would be so, for if ever material distinctions were made betwixt these corps and the militia, they would produce nothing but discontent. Whilst the duty bears equally upon the people, they will never complain—they will do the duty they are called upon to perform; but, whenever advantages are given to one class of citizens more than to another, dissatisfactions and complaint are the immediate consequences. What are the Militia obliged to do? They are compelled to provide their own arms, and to be subject to the call of government upon any service upon which they may think it necessary to engage them. It is true, that the Volunteers may be called into service for a longer period at a time; but that was a condition of their engagement with which they were acquainted at the time. But here is a proposition to loan them arms; and he was of opinion this circumstance might induce many men to join these corps, rather than the Militia, where they would have to purchase their own arms. If government have not the arms to sell at present, as had been suggested, but that they might loan them, why not put the provision upon that ground, and say the arms shall be loaned until they can be got for sale to them. To such a provision he should not object. The gentleman last up had said, the volunteers ought to have a preference given them, but he thought not. He supposes that the enthusiasm which is at present so prevalent in the cities, will spread to the country. Mr. W. wished it might; but if it did, could the gentleman suppose that there are arms now in the public arsenals to lend to these youths throughout the country? If not, these persons being excused from militia duty, will be excused from all military duty whatsoever. Besides, if the United States were to find arms for all these volunteers, he wished gentlemen to recollect how serious a sum it would cost. He hoped, therefore, the loan of arms would be confined to field pieces. Mr. EDMOND observed the gentleman from N. Carolina last up had said he was opposed to distinctions, yet he has advocated an
horse going through their evolutions. He believed a similar spirit existed also in N.

This morning a bill had been passed for sup- plying the Militia with arms, and if neither the State Governments, nor individuals, will purchase them, they are to be loaned to the people. He himself opposed that measure, because he believed it would discourage per- sons from purchasing arms, when they had a prospect of borrowing them, though he be- lieved the gentleman from N. Carolina was in favour of it.

The Volunteers stand upon a very different ground from that on which the original bill proposed to place them. It was there proposed that they should not go beyond the limits of an adjoining state. And in that case multitudes would have come forward, provided they would not be called to serve as a Standing Army, whilst their families were left destitute. Men might then have been tempted to have left the Militia, in order to go so far as to say they will depend solely on the defence of the country upon the ardour and patriotism of these young men, what will these gentlemen say? Each will say to himself, "I am now exempt from military duty, there is no law to compel me to it; but if I go into these Volun- teer Corps, I must equip and arm myself; I may be marched to the extreme parts of the Union, and not return for two years. If I do not join these corps, I can stay at home, and when called upon, do Militia duty with my neighbours." Where, then, he asked, was the inducement to become Volunteers? There is none, and it can only be a pure sentiment of Patriotism which could induce Young Men to enter these corps. He hoped, therefore, the law would not be tampered with, but that the encouragement held out by this clause would, at least, be agreed to; especially as men beyond the age of 45, who are excused from Militia duty, might join these corps.

Mr. S. SMITH laid the arguments of the gentleman laid up to this, that there are no arms to be bought. His amendment laid no such thing. He wished the volunteers to purchase their arms at once. If the gentleman from Connecticut could show, that the govern- ment could loan arms, but could not sell them, his arguments would have some weight.

With respect to the bill passed this morning, it did not originally contemplate any loan of arms; but an amendment had been intro- duced into it, providing that in case of any emergency, and any of the arms shall remain unsold, they shall be loaned to such persons as may stand in need of them.

Supposing that 5000 stand of arms were on- ly to be lent to these Volunteers, it would create a draft on the Treasury for 80,000 dol- lars, and he thought it would be much better to suffer individuals, who would generally be very able to do it, each of them to pay 14 or 16 dollars for their own.

Mr. DANA supposed, as a military man, the gentleman from Maryland, would admit the propriety of retaining a considerable quantity of arms in the arsenals of the United States. Would it not, then, be folly and madness to sell all the arms out of the arsenals of the United States? Ought we not to have suffi- cient for an army, in case of invasion? Ad- mitting we have only this quantity at present, if we loan them, and take receipts for them from confidential officers, they might be at any time returned in better condition, proba- bly, than they were lent, so that no expense would be incurred. And these arms cannot be purchased of a proper calibre any where else.

The House of Representatives of the Unit- ed States, on Saturday, went into a committee of the whole on the bill to augment the army of the United States, and for other purposes. This bill provides that each regiment of in- fantry shall in future consist of 600 privates, and the proper officers, and that twelve ad- ditional regiments of Infantry and six troops of Light Dragoons shall be enlisted for and dur- ing the continuance of the existing differences between the United States and the French Republic. The pay of the privates in the army of the United States is, by this bill, increas- ed from four to six dollars a month; sergeants and senior musicians to eight; corporals and musicians to seven dollars; and artificers and farriers and saddlers to six dollars a month. This increase of pay is to take place on the 1st of August next.

His reasons were, that in case the government of France should be changed from a Republic to a Monarchy, Military Despotism, Aristo- cracy, or any other form, before the conclu- sion of our dispute; it might be doubtful, as it now stood, whether the service of these men should then cease; and he wished if our dis- pute with France was settled, and we should still be at war with her possessions in the West Indies, New Orleans or Florida (supposing Spain to have ceded the latter places to France) that these men should not leave the service, until our dispute with these powers should also be settled.

If in the annals of the world, there ever was an era worthy of being immortalized by the pen of the historian—handed down through endless generation as a glorious example to every insulted, wronged and oppressed country—or as a warning to nations whose power is their sole rule of right—and deserving of being rank- ed among the political festivals of the world—that era is the Anniversary of the American Independence.

There cannot be, and there was not one real American, but felt yesterday, in its full force, the enthusiastic fire of genuine patriotism; and we are happy to say, that valuing the honor, liberty and independence of their country, in proportion as the danger of losing them becomes greater, the citizens of Federal Baltimore cele- brated the auspicious day with greater demon- strations of patriotism, felicity and joy, than was ever witnessed on any former occasion.

But the grey mantle of morn was withdrawn, our eager citizen-soldiers were roused from their slumber, and the sound of the trumpet and the drum summoned them to the jubilee. The dif- ferent military corps assembled early on their re- spective parade grounds, and about eight o'clock formed brigade, consisting of the fifth, sixth and twenty-seventh regiments, and marched to the review ground, on Federal Hill. Brigadier General Swan was absent from town, and col. Stricker acted as commanding officer of the day, to whom much praise is due, for his care of the health and convenience of the men.

After reaching the hill, the troops were formed in a line, and performed their exercise much to the satisfaction of the greatest concourse of citizens ever assembled on a similar occasion, among whom there was a great collection of ladies.—There was no small number of pretty young men, too, who, the ladies are of opinion, would have appeared to much greater advantage in the ranks, than as idle specta- tors of men whom they envied, without the spirit to imitate.

General Bernadotte, the French ambassa- dor at Vienna, had for some time past con- ducted himself in a manner which had given great offence to the people of that city.—He at length, one evening, hoisted the tri- coloured flag in the front of his hotel. The commissary of the district lent to remon- strate with him upon the proceeding, but Bernadotte paid no attention to the message of the commissary. A mob soon assembled round the hotel, tore down the flag, broke the windows of the hotel, and drew two carriages of the ambassador into the street, which they broke in pieces. Bernadotte, exasperated at these proceedings, had, be- fore these advice left Vienna, given notice to the court of his determination to quit that place, and repair immediately to Paris, for the purpose of laying his complaint be- fore the Directory.

Count Pergen, minister of state and general police, has issued the following pro- clamation, respecting the affair which yes- terday took place in, and before the French ambassador's palace.
"His majesty the emperor has received, with the utmost satisfaction, the various proofs of loyalty and attachment, manifested by the good citizens of this metropolis on so many occasions since his accession to the throne; and these proofs are the more pleasing to his paternal feelings, as they were always attended with love of order, propriety of conduct, and a peaceful de- meanor. For the first time, his majesty learned yesterday, to his great displeasure, that some inhabitants of this capital, devi- ating from the path of lawful order, and led astray by an ill-judged zeal, allowed them- selves to commit several acts of violence in the house of the French ambassador, and to disturb the public tranquility and peace. His majesty expects, that from this moment no well disposed citizen, either directly or indirectly, will encourage any further assem- blage, but on the contrary, will exert him- self to the utmost extent of his abilities, to restore order and tranquility. But if, con- trary to his expectation, any inhabitant of this city should attempt again to disturb the peace of their fellow citizens, the same shall be prosecuted and punished according to the utmost rigor of the law."

The Directory, it would appear, wish to avoid committing themselves upon the busi- ness at Vienna, until they shall have had more time to deliberate; for the Redacteur is silent respecting the official steps that

have been taken in consequence of the affair, and the unofficial Journals only have yet been referred to, for the purpose of proclaiming to France the lively sorrow of the court of Vienna, in consequence of a lawless act of the mobility, which it altogether disavows!
A circumstance likely to produce more serious consequences than the preceding, is the death of Jean Bon St. Andre, who has been decapitated by the Dey of Algiers, regardless of the vengeance that might be expected to be attempted by the Great Nation, for such an act committed on the person of one of its accredited agents! We are not informed of the circumstances that led to this catastrophe; but, should it be confirmed, we would not be surprised should the learned expedition, prepared for Egypt be ordered to pay the Dey a visit in its passage merely to give him a little schooling on the respect due to strangers.
A letter from Rastadt of the 21st of April, states, that on the 8th a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance was concluded and signed between the Emperor and the King of Prussia. It is not, however, conceived that this alliance has for its object the renewal of a continental war. Its only object is to concert measures respecting the indemnities to be required by the two Courts of Germany, and to oppose with combined force the propagation of republican principles on the left bank of the Rhine, and left of Germany. It is also stated that general Hary's army has passed over to the right bank of the Rhine, and that the Prussians and Hessians have likewise made several military movements.
The French general who commands on the island of Corsica, has issued a proclamation, stating that the squadron assembled at that island has failed for the purpose of co-operating in the expedition against England.
We (Star) have already stated our opinion that the late tumultuous attack made by the populace of Vienna upon the residence of the French minister would not produce any serious rupture between Austria and the Directory, as Germany, tho' humbled by the late events or hostilities, was still in a very different situation from that in which the Pope was, when they sought a cause of quarrel with him. We stated that a disposition to receive and give explanation would probably be manifested, rather than to appeal to arms; and the French journals, which we have this day received by express, up to the 1st inst. inclusive, seem to establish the solidity of our conjecture.
From these papers it appears, that when the account of the tumult reached Paris, every artifice was used to impress the public mind with an idea that the populace were stirred up to the part they acted by the ministers of England and Russia, who were hurt at the marked attention paid to the minister of France by the court at Vienna. A letter from Toulon of the 20th Germinal, announces that a grand expedition is preparing in that port; an army of 24,000 men, taken from the army of Italy, and from some of the divisions of the Interior, are to embark the 4th Prairial, and to sail with a strong squadron. (The Echo.)
Letters from Coblenz announce that Ehrenbreitstein will not long hold out. Extract of a private letter from Hamburg, dated April 24.
"The French minister Rynear went a week since ambassador to Naples. The French consul, Lagot, with the concurrence of Leonard Bourdon, has established three clubs, in two of which all persons who choose to associate are admitted. Above 500 members are initiated, and among them several resident Englishmen. The third, at the consul's own house, is devoted to French citizens. Their second monthly fraternal dinner was held about a week since.
"Two indemnities have been remitted to the French of the 230,000. which Leonard Bourdon most wickedly imposed upon this city; and in order to remunerate the chamber, an additional tonnage upon shipping is speedily to take place.
"In consequence of the arrest of the insolent Directory, to seize all English property on board neutral vessels, your government acted very wisely in appointing a strong convoy, two of which have lately arrived; so that their wicked intentions to rob the trade of this city, which they have so unmercifully fleeced, has, through the good conduct of your rulers, fallen short of their views, and has given the English shipping a manifest advantage. It results from thence that the neutral vessels can scarcely obtain a freight. If the wisdom of the English government would add a good sloop and a cutter, to give an account of the small privateers, the carrying trade would be altogether in the hands of the English, which would make them amends for the loss upon the value of their goods.
"The glut of manufactured English goods at this market is so sensibly felt, that it has greatly diminished the prices. Public auctions are daily held, and the goods frequently sell under prime cost, particularly cotton and woolen.
"Notwithstanding the supposed flourishing state of the Hamburgers, bankruptcies are frequent—within a short time there have been three great failures, viz. J. M. D. Lienen, for about 84,000 marks banco. G. L. H. 200,000. J. C. Knauth, 620,000—amounting altogether to nearly 105,000. sterling.
"They write from Auxerre, that an immense convoy of all sorts of husbandry tools has just passed by there, destined for Toulon, and that there is no longer any doubt that the expedition which was preparing is intended as a descent in Egypt, and to prepare, by opening a canal there, the means of destroying English commerce in India. (Clef du Cabinet.)
A list of navy officers has just been published at Paris. It appears that there are six admirals, without including Bruys, Bleviller Lepelley, lately promoted; sixteen
rear admirals, not including Baudouin, Courant, and Terrasson, and Decres also lately promoted; forty nine commanders of divisions; fifty captains of ships of the first class, forty-eight of the second class, 18 captains of frigates, 527 lieutenants and 572 ensigns.
"Nothing new has occurred in the situation of our flotilla," says a letter from Havre, dated 4 Floreal, (April 23) "It is still at Salanelles, and the English are still on our coasts.
A letter from Corsica states, that the coastal fisheries on the coast of Africa have been abundant; the sailors having been taken away by the French for some expedition the object of which is not known; we have good reason to believe, however, says the French Journalist, that the French fleet in the port of Genoa is destined to take possession of Sardinia, with the consent of the Congress of Turin.
A great number of Piedmontese Patriots who have taken refuge at Milan and Genoa, have formed themselves into an army, and are marching into Piedmont, and they have already (if rumour is to be believed) planted the tree of Liberty in several places, and are attacking their oppressors in every direction.
Letters from Stetin, dated the 15th April state, that great discontent prevails at Moscow, and at Petersburg; that the new system adopted by Paul, and still more his follies, have turned many people against him. His ridiculous sumptuary laws, and the strictness with which they are executed, have occasioned many foreigners of all nations to quit Russia.
SIR SIDNEY SMITH. The following are the particulars of the escape of this brave officer from his imprisonment in Paris:
Finding that all hope of an exchange was vanished, and that the confinement was likely to be more rigorous, Sir Sidney Smith, determined on an escape the first favourable opportunity that offered. He had some friends at Paris, who admiring his gallantry, and commiserating his misfortunes, were anxious to effect his deliverance. It had been ordered by the minister of Police, that he and Mr. Wright, a gentleman taken prisoner with Mr. Sidney, and a partner in all his misfortunes, should be removed from the Temple Prison in Paris to another jail still more common, called the Gen. Depository. (According to other accounts, this removal was to a place distant from the capital.) This removal was to have taken place on Tuesday the 8th inst. and measures were accordingly planned to effect a release of both these gentlemen.
On that evening they were put in a fiacre or hackney coach, accompanied by two of the jailors. On their way to their new place of confinement a child ran across the street, and was nigh being trampled upon by the horses. At the same time there was a violent shrieking; the coach stopped, and a kind of mob instantly surrounded the carriage. The coach door was opened, and Sir Sidney and Mr. Wright escaped. A chaise was in readiness to convey them instantly out of Paris, which was done without the slightest inconvenience or battle. They made immediately for the coast about Havre, finding guides forward to see that all was safe. Whenever they came near posts where there were strong guards of military, called corps du guet , they either halted or took a circuitous route on foot. They were two days concealed in woods, in the neighbourhood of which was encamped a great part of the army of England. After a journey of 8 days, the guides conducted them very safely and skilfully to a place near Havre, where they got on board a fishing vessel, and in a few hours after they fell in with the British squadron cruising off Havre. They were taken on board the Argo frigate, capt. Bowen, who joyfully received these welcome strangers, and on Saturday they were landed at Portsmouth, amidst the acclamations and congratulations of all ranks of people, who lined the streets as they passed along. The same civilities were shewn Sir Sidney at every place where he was recognized.
A few days previous to his escape, an order had been given by the Minister of Police, to confine Sir Sidney more rigorously, and to limit the extent of the walk allowed him to take the air, though it was only two hours each day. He had been nominally allowed a Louis d'Or a day by the government, but had never received any money for the last seven months. He had only the ordinary allowance of the prison; but several friends did all in their power to render his situation as comfortable as possible.
Sir Sidney, as soon as he arrived in town, had a conference with Earl Spencer at the admiralty and afterwards paid a visit to the Prince of Wales at Carlton House.
The long and rigorous confinement which Sir Sidney has suffered, has made a very unfavorable change in his person. His spirit, however, is unabated, and we hope that the air of Great Britain will soon restore his health.
There can be little doubt that he can afford important intelligence to government respecting the interior of France, notwithstanding the situation on which he has escaped, as he was allowed a certain period of the day for air and exercise, and is active and observing.
Sir Sidney dined yesterday with Lord Spencer, at his Lordship's house in the admiralty.
Sir Sidney was taken prisoner on Monday the 18th of April, 1796.
PARIS, April 27. General Buonaparte has not yet quitted this city. The late intelligence from Vienna seems to have occasioned his departure to be put off for a few days.
April 28. Violent alterations are said to be taken place between the French ambassador and the eccentric Charles. Things were said to be carried to such a height, that the emperor was obliged to send the archduke out of the way, and make him leave Vienna for a few days.
April 30. The late events at Vienna have spread the utmost
consternation at Rastadt. It is much to be apprehended that it will give rise to a war which will involve all Germany in ruin. It appears that Bernadotte is already arrived at Rastadt.
The answer which the deputation of the empire have returned to the note of the French plenipotentiaries, is evasive and insignificant. They endeavor to avoid any explanation upon the point of secularization, although they have already recognized the principles, and recurred to conditions already rejected.
Bonaparte is now going to Rastadt, like another Alexander, no doubt, to cut the Gordian knot.
The troubles of the Swiss Cantons still continue, particularly in the neighborhood of the lake of Constance. On the 23d of Germinal (April 12) five hundred peasants attacked the town of Arbon, and massacred the members of the constituted authorities.
They state that the anarchists had exerted every effort to carry the election in favor of men of the character of Babouf and his accomplices. By acting as one man with one will and determination, on every question, they overpowered the well disposed majority, who were left united. A courageous secession, however, disappointed the partisans of terrorism, and secured the elections of Paris from the detestable influence of the partisans anarchy.
We wait with a lively impatience to see the part which the legislative body will take, relative to the various choices which have taken place, and which seem to threaten us with the return of the revolutionary tyranny, and to suspend it once more over our heads. The directory pronounces most decidedly against the usurpation of popular suffrage. The directory does not disguise that there is a faction spread over the country, united in object and exertion hostile to the existing constitution, and inclined with the most execrable principles of terrorism. It is likewise asserted by the official journals, that as last year the partisans of royalty displayed the royal standard, the partisans of terrorism have this year openly avowed their purpose.
The executive directory, in a public sitting on the 29th April, received citizens Gludiani, the envoy extraordinary from the Roman Republic, M. de Stael, minister plenipotentiary of the king of Sweden; and citizen Lapi, minister plenipotentiary from the Ligurian republic.
NEW-YORK, July 7. Verbal accounts by the Draper state, That Ireland, though somewhat divided, can never be invaded, while the English fleet exists. The existence of this fleet is now a pleasing source of consolation to those in America who do not wish her destruction.
Flaxseed bore a high price, and things began to wear a more favorable aspect. A letter from Dublin of the 7th May, mentions the death of the noted JENKINS, clerk in one of the first banking houses in London. He was seven feet nine inches in stature.
By a St. John's paper of the 23d ult. it appears that the ship Britannia, from Greenock to St. Andrews, was wrecked on the 15th June, on entering the bay of Passamaquoddy. Part of the goods were got out.
BALTIMORE, July 6. Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Cape François, dated 27th June, to a merchant in this city.
"An American armed brig mounting twelve pieces cannon, had a smart engagement a few days ago with a privateer mounting fourteen guns, the former had four men killed and the latter six. The brig was boarded and carried into Gonaives."
NORFOLK, July 7. On Sunday arrived the armed English ships, Portland, captain Magill; and Cumberland, captain Perrin, from Liverpool, which they left the 25th April. On the 19th June, in lat. 37, 55, long. 69, spoke ship Eliza, M'Neil, six days out from Charleston, to London, all well.
Yesterday arrived the schooner Favorite Elsey captain Fitzhugh, in ten days from the Havana. Sailed in company with the brig Ready Money, for Baltimore.
By this arrival we learn, that two Spanish ships of war had left the Havana for old Spain about the fourth ult. with seven million of dollars on board; and that four French privateers failed from thence on the 17th ult. to cruise to seaward for homeward bound Jamaica vessels.
The schooner Harmony, Hackey, from Jamaica to Norfolk, and brig Betsey, Turner, from Jamaica to Portsmouth (N. H.) are captured and sent into the Havana.

AN ACT To declare the Treaties heretofore concluded with France, no longer obligatory on the United States.
WHEREAS the Treaties concluded between the United States and France have been repeatedly violated on the part of the French Government; and the just claims of the United States for reparation of the injuries so committed have been refused, and their attempts to negotiate an amicable adjustment of all complaints between the two nations, have been repelled with indignity; and whereas, under authority of the French Government, there is yet pursued against the United States, a system of predatory violence, infracting the said treaties, and hostile to the rights of a free and independent nation.
BE it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That the United States are of right freed and exonerated from the stipulations of the Treaties, and of the Consular Convention, heretofore concluded between the United States and France; and that the same shall not henceforth be regarded as legally obligatory on the government or citizens of the United States.

We have the satisfaction to announce to our readers that the Delaware sloop of war, capt. Decatur, (who only went out to sea on Friday) on Saturday evening captured a French privateer schooner of 12 guns and 70 men, close in with Egg-Harbour, and last evening the prize was brought to Fort Mifflin. Captain Decatur left his ship at New-Castle, and brought this intelligence to town. Capt. D. after he got to sea on Saturday morning, met with the ship Alexander Hamilton, from New-York to Baltimore, the captain of which informed him that he had been plundered by a French privateer, and gave him directions what course he had steered. Capt. D. immediately went in search of her, and soon got in sight of four schooners; but not knowing which was the armed schooner that he had received information of, he thought it best to stand off as if he were a merchantman and alarmed at what might be armed vessels.
The manœuvre had the intended effect, for the armed schooner gave her chase, until she discovered the Delaware to be a vessel of force, when she attempted to sheer off and get in land (where she supposed she should be safe, taking the Delaware for an English vessel of war) but she was obliged to surrender after a pretty long chase to the Delaware, and several shots being fired at her. This privateer is a new vessel said to have been built at Baltimore. She sailed from Cape François on the 19th of June, and has been on our coast only two days, during which time she has captured the ship Liberty. Capt. Vredenburgh, which failed a few days from this port for Liverpool. The vessel was sent to the West Indies, and the Captain and Crew of the Liberty were put on board a vessel bound for Boston. This privateer had also taken an English brig.
General Marshall, on his route to Virginia, was received at Lancaster, York, Fredericktown, and other places, with the liveliest demonstrations of respect, attention, and approbation of his public conduct.
Extract of a letter from a respectable house in Lisbon, their Correspondent in this city, dated May 12.
"We think it necessary to inform you, that our Market for Grain is very encouraging, as you will see by the prices current we at foot hand you, and it is computed there is not Wheat sufficient in this place for two months, and our Ministry begin to be alarmed, informed that on the 7th instant, a frigate failed from hence with presents for the Emperor of Morocco, to induce him to grant leave to export Grain to this Country, but it is doubtful if such liberty will be granted, we have therefore only to look forward to your Country for supplies."

MR. FENNELL. In addition to the elegant epistle to the youth of this city, this justly celebrated orator will, this evening, read Mr. Hopkinson's address to the members of M c Pherson's Blues, on the anniversary of our independence. Talents so brilliant as those of Mr. Fennell, when exercised in a way so useful, deserve the approbation and support of every citizen. Warmly attached to the cause of liberty, and bravely intending to risk his life in its defence, Mr. Fennell has enrolled himself in the elegant corps of Grenadiers lately raised in this city. As an author,
he is well known; as a soldier, he no doubt will be equally respectable. But, with talents so brilliant, with patriotism so firm, Mr. Fennell is not endowed with the gifts of fortune! In this respect only he requires the aid of his fellow-citizens and soldiers. Here an opportunity is offered to the generous, at once to receive pleasure and reward merit. To the corps of Grenadiers and Blues, this opportunity will be particularly gratifying. They, with many of their fellow-citizens, will, no doubt, take advantage of it, and thus evince their approbation of the conduct, and their respect for the talents of this gentleman. A BLUE.

Arrived at the Port, the British Letter of Marque General Keppel, of 18 guns, from Martinique. Extract of a letter from a gentleman on board the Schooner Hawk, Carhar, from Cape François, Fort Mifflin, July 5th, 1798.
"While I was in C. François the capt. of the Brunswick arrived with a flag of truce, and I believe the French general thought it was for the purpose of evacuating the Mole, but he was not long left in this pleasing delirium; instead of "Propositions" for evacuating the Mole, they were for an exchange of prisoners; how great must have been his surprise? and this was the business of the first aid de camp and officer of the frigate; and if the gentleman who wrote the letter in the Philadelphia Gazette had attended a little more to the truth of the circumstances, he could not have assured his friend in Philadelphia that the Mole would be evacuated before eight days.
"Left the Cape the 18th of June, and was shortly after taken on board the ship Brunswick, (with the captain of the vessel in which I was a passenger) and detained for 4 hours, during which time I mentioned the report that was in circulation at the Cape to the captain, who informed me, that so far from giving up the Mole, they have been putting it in a stronger state of defence than it ever yet was; that they had established a dock yard, and lately received from England upward of 60,000 sterling worth of mails, spars, and naval stores; and the evacuation of P. au Prince was in order to strengthen the Mole from this you may judge whether the Mole will be to soon evacuated."

Salisbury Estate.
Salisbury Estate.
THE Subscriber, proposing to contract his business, offers this Estate for sale, on moderate terms. On it are one Blast and three Air Furnaces, a complete Boring Machine, and a very good grill Mill, with two pair of stones; also a good Forge, all in perfect repair, as are all the Water Works connected with these various branches. The Air Furnaces were lately built for the purpose of casting Cannon for this State.—There are about two thousand acres of Land, one half of which is under wood, the other very fine arable Land, producing the best Hay and Pasture. The Cannon lately manufactured there, fully proves the excellency of the metal, which is superior to any in this country, and probably equal to any in the world; for not one of sixty-nine guns lately made, although some of the 24 were bored into 32 pounders, have failed on proving. The situation is very eligible, particularly for this branch of manufacture, and a place of arms lying in the State of Connecticut, and only 30 miles from several Landings on the Hudson river, and having every advantage that can result from a plenty of water rising from a large natural pond, very near the Furnace, and which may be converted into a variety of other useful purposes. The purchaser can be accommodated with all the tools and utensils, and have possession on or before the first of June next, and preparation may be made in the meantime for going into blast immediately thereafter, for every part will be delivered in good order, with some coal, Ore, &c. &c. For terms, apply to Mr. Joseph Anthony, in Philadelphia; David Brooks, Esq. one of the Representatives in Congress for this State; Mr. David Waterman, on the premises, or to the proprietor in New-York.
