Late Foreign Intelligence.
FRANCE.
SECOND DECLARATION OF DUVERNE DU PRESSEUR DUNAN, annexed to the Secret Register of the Directory, 17th Ventose, 5th year.
"Lemerer, Mersem, and the greatest part of the members of the club of Clichy, constitute the royalist body."
"The conspiracy of Lemaire and of Vendome, was a royalist conspiracy."
The real name of the person known as under the name of Thebeau, is Despoilles, who was a Marechal de Camp before the revolution, and a member of the council of war. He had extensive connections with Lemaire. It was he who drew up the rules of the institutions and the military regulations. It is very probable that he was authorized to supercede us provisionally, for he is too prudent to remain in a situation of such great and perilous embarrassment. He lived in a country house near the Bourg Egalite, and very rarely came to town. He said he was very closely connected with M. M. de Segur, and assures us that they and their party would second us. "I never heard of the widow Joye before my examination. It certainly is a feigned name, and the person by whom it is assumed must not have been connected with us, but probably with Lemaire, whose correspondent in London, Duteil, was likewise my correspondent."
"Duval is the name that I am the name that I assumed in England, being accustomed to take a new name every journey."
"We do not yet know the names of the members of the legislative body who belong to our party. Lemerer and Mersem were the only intermediate agents, but the rest are the members of the club of Clichy, or at least the greatest part of which it is composed. The person who procured us the report of Carnot relative to the desertion upon Ireland, must be clerk in the depot of plans and charts, called perhaps the Bureau des Hedographes or Typographes. I had not leisure either to know him or the person to whom he communicated the report. I believe that it was not the chief of that Bureau, but that the piece was carried off during a necessary absence of his Secretary in the month of Frimaire."
"England paid here a person of the name of Hardemberg. The latter had direct communication with Saladin."
"England likewise pays a person of the name of Vincent. The minister of police must know who he is, at least he has often given us pieces of information which he pretended to have received directly from him, that minister, at entertainments at which he was present. I have always been of opinion that this young man, for I am told he is so, has been the dupe of our minister."
A correspondence, not entirely foreign to our object, is that of M. D'Antraigues with M. Sourdat, the father. The channel by which it is conveyed is as follows:
"Sourdat writes either to an Abbe Andre, who takes the name of Lemaire, or an M. de Vaidene, well known in the affair of Lemaire. These two gentlemen reside at Lausanne, or Virey; by them the letters are transmitted to an Abbe de la Roue, at Bellinzona, under cover, I believe of the post-master of that place, and he transmits them to Venice, where M. D'Antraigues resides."
"From Venice the details go to M. de Vanguyon, and into Spain, for Spain is still anxious to know what the royalists are doing. Sourdat writes thus: direct to Bellinzona, sometimes to Marco Philberti, or even other names. There is another direct correspondence with Venice. The letters are addressed to Marco Philberti, banker in Bavaria. The correspondence from the interior is of no importance whatever, every thing of importance must be sent by England. Any thing more is the mere accusation of receiving letters. (An exact copy.)"

PARIS, September 14.
FRENCH EMIGRANTS.
A list of the names of the emigrants who have been arrested, and who are to be tried in twenty-four hours.
We may now say with truth that the republic is saved; and it is impossible sufficiently to praise the wise foresight of the directors, in having discovered and frustrated the plots of our enemies, at the very moment when all good citizens and real patriots were on the point of falling under the daggers of royalist assassins. Let us not then fear the vain efforts of the agents of Louis. Their leaders will soon receive the punishment due to their crimes.
The sword of the law hangs over their heads, and delivers us from traitors, who planned the ruin of their country—Let us assemble round the republican standard, and defend a republican government, which will always support liberty and punish wickedness.
Open your eyes and see into what an abyss they wished to plunge you—Read the correspondence between Pichegru and Conde—the brilliant offers made by the latter to Pichegru, and the promise of the traitor to facilitate his return to France, and that of the emigrants. But every thing is discovered; it cannot be doubted but that their design was to re-establish royalty; this conspiracy will share the fate of all the others—it will recoil upon its authors—they will be the victims of their own guilt—they will fall in the pit they dug for us.
Infamous emigrants, you are banished, and banished for ever, from this glorious country, from the abode of liberty, and from the greatest republic in the world. You will not know the extent of your punishment, till after you have lost that tender mother who has been the admiration of ages, and who
has constituted the happiness of her faithful children. Republicans who have brought about the event, do not lose the reward of your signal services. The just punishment which will be inflicted upon those who wished to hide liberty, under the shadow of an usurped power, will for ever point out to a free people the path they ought to pursue. May a dreadful example suffice in their abandoned minds the vain hopes of tyrannizing over us. May every one of us, Frenchmen, feel our hearts glow with the noble desire of distinguishing ourselves by our courage, our talents and our virtues.
We find in the 'Ami des Loix' the following lists of emigrants returned to Paris:
The son of the duke of Lavanguyon, prince de Carencey.—Messrs. de L'Aigle. Monsieur le Duc de Choiseul. M. Duchylau, bishop of Chalons sur Saone, formerly almoner to the queen. He came to Paris to be present at the council which was to be held at rue Saints Peres, and at the Filles St. Marie, Faubourg-Jacques.
Le Prince de Paix. Lamoignon, son of the keeper of the seals.
Duclozel, an officer of the king's regiment.
Alex. Laborde, son of the ci-devant court banker.
Le Mar. d'Etampes Comte d'Ecqueville Comte de Gruel Vicomte de la Belmaye Marquis Persan Danican Baron de Concey Chevalier de Courtin Marquis de Ste Croix Comte de Hautefort Comte de Hautefort Marquis de Nesle Marquis de Breteuil
We think they ought to form a part of those whose arrest and trial in 24 hours, is announced by the pacificator of Galiceti.
WETZLAER, August 25.
On Friday an adjutant to general Moreau, from Strasburg, arrived at the quarters of general Hocaras, who the next day dispatched a courier to Paris; yesterday a second, and to day a third. A courier from Buonaparte in Italy likewise arrived yesterday, with dispatches for general Hoche, and returned with an answer this day. This is one proof, among others, that the three armies correspond with each other.
HAMBURGH, August 25.
Citizen Louis, who was sent to Vienna to solicit the release of the Marquis La Fayette, is arrived here to make the necessary arrangements for the passage of the Marquis to America, on board an American vessel.
Prince Ruspoli, lately arrived from Peterburgh, is still here, but intends to set out for London in a few days.
The yacht, on board of which the king of Sweden will return home, is arrived at Stralsund, from whence he departs to-morrow. He is a very handsome young man, and appears to possess a strong constitution."
PORTSMOUTH, September 1.
This afternoon arrived at Spithead, the Sea Horse frigate, with Admiral Nelson's flag, from Tenerife.
Admiral Nelson landed at his new Sallypart this evening between five and six o'clock, when he was received by the populace with three cheers, for which he very politely thanked him. He seemed to be in good spirits.
LONDON, September 2.
The slave trade is manifestly on the decline. A letter from the coast of Africa, dated the 15th June, states, that for several months previous to that period the traffic appeared wholly suspended, many of the traders having lost by it.
The last letters from Sierra Leona, bro't to England by the Thornton, Capt. Macauley, are dated the 20th of June. These state, the internal affairs of the colony to proceed prosperously, but that the trade was nearly destroyed by a small French squadron, under the command of M. Renaude, who has recently taken several valuable prizes, and continues in the neighbourhood of Cape Mount. The cotton and coffee plantations were extending, and promised abundantly to recompence the labour directed to their culture. The present governor, Macauley, returns to Europe early in the ensuing year.
DUBLIN, September 1.
TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. The humble Petition of the Subscribers, the Inhabitants of the counties of Fife and Kinross.
May it please your Majesty, We, your Majesty's loyal and faithful subjects the inhabitants of the counties of Fife and Kinross, beg leave to approach your throne, impressed with the warmest and most lively sentiments of duty and affection for your Royal person, and at the same time, to express, with all humility, our disapprobation of an act passed in the last session of parliament, entitled, "an act to raise and embody a militia to serve in that part of great Britain called Scotland," which act is now attempted to be carried into execution.
We beg leave to represent to your Majesty, that we consider this act as oppressive in nature, and dangerous in its consequences. By tearing young men from their profession and their relations, in many instances from their aged and infirm parents, though their sole comfort, and only prop and support of their lives; this act has a direct, immediate, and fatal tendency, to throw families destitute, and to reduce numbers of most valuable and respected members of society to situations of extreme misery and distress.
We are apprehensive that the putting in execution of an act of this nature, may have the effect of alienating the minds of
your majesty's subjects both from your royal beloved person, and your gracious mild government. And we hope, that the great numbers of men who have made offer of their services as volunteers, more than have yet been accepted of, will wholly supersede any necessity of compelling men to become soldiers, who, though equally loyal with any other class of their fellow subjects, feel an utter and insuperable aversion to that profession.
And, seeing your majesty invested with power to supercede, by order in council, the said act, absolutely, or for a limited time,
Therefore, we, your majesty's faithful and loyal subjects, humbly pray, That your majesty may be graciously pleased to supercede the said act Absolutely; which, we are confident, will fill with the greatest satisfaction, joy, and gratitude, the hearts of all your majesty's loyal subjects in this part of your dominions—and we, as in duty bound, shall ever pray.
GLASGOW, August 29.
Some trivial opposition has manifested itself in the parishes of Strathaven, Kirkintilloch, &c. to the carrying of the militia act into effect, but we are glad to find, that in several of the parishes around this city, subscriptions have commenced to procure substitutes for those who may be ballotted for, and who do not incline to serve in the militia.
August 31.
On Tuesday last, a numerous and respectable meeting was held at Pollokshaws, in the parish of Eastwood, consisting of the heads of families belonging to the village and parish, in order to enter into a subscription, not only for providing substitutes for those young men who, upon being chosen by ballot to act as militia men, may decline serving, but also to give a bounty to those willing to serve. Nearly thirty guineas were instantly subscribed by the people present, and a committee was appointed to wait upon those absent, for the purpose of receiving their subscriptions. The utmost harmony and regularity prevailed, and, much to the honor of the parish, all seemed animated with the same spirit.
NEW-YORK, November 11.
The papers that have been published as proofs of a conspiracy to restore monarchy, wear a very suspicious appearance. The Jacobin Editor of the English Morning Chronicle declares, that the papers to prove Pichegru a Traitor, have not even the disguise of imposition. To suppose them genuine, is to suppose the prince of Conde, Montgaillard, d'Antraigues and Pichegru, destitute even of common sense. A boy of ten years old would have conducted a conspiracy with more judgment and address.
To destroy the credibility of the story, we may oppose to these silly papers, the ready, firm and patriotic conduct of Pichegru, in a most arduous public station, and an unblemished private character.
If we take into the account, the character of Barthelémy, Tronçon Decouray, Boissy, Marbois, &c. the private virtues of some, and the public services of all, where shall we find the proofs of their guilt? If these men are guilty, sure we are, the proofs are not yet before the American public.
We must still be incredulous, as to the facts, and until further evidence appears, we shall ascribe to factious only, the most horrible tyranny and prosecution that ever disgraced human beings.
Extract of a letter from Nantes, Sept. 5, '99.
I have just returned from the Tribunal of Commerce, after having heard pronounced the condemnation of the ship Confederacy and cargo.
In the motives of judgment, among other favorable considerations enumerated, they admit that it is clearly proved that the ship and the cargo are both the property of L. and P. of New-York, that we are citizens of the United States, that the documents and expeditions taken on board are authentic, and in the form in use on board other American vessels, that the ship was bound from China to Hambro, that the cargo consists of free goods, that the equipment is composed of Americans and neutrals, there not being one Englishman on board—but that not having a role d'équipage or shipping articles attested by an officer of marine or consul, conformably to the arrest of the Directory of the 12th Ventose, they declare the prize valid, both of the ship and cargo.
They take for the basis of their judgment the arrest of the Directory, and are silent on the treaty, and the numerous existing laws, which confirm it, and declare null and of no effect all laws, ordinances and dispositions that are contrary thereto. Such at this moment is French justice.
Unhappy we are yet without the expected relief from the head of government—our commissioners are not yet arrived. I shall appeal to the Tribunal of the Department, and hope that the arrest will be repealed before a confirmation of the first judgment takes place.
ALBANY, November 6.
On Friday evening last, as the sloop Peggy, owned and commanded by capt. James Moore, of this city, was on her passage from New-York to this port, she unfortunately ran foul of the wreck of a funken vessel, near Winne's Bar, which beat in a plank and shattered one of her timbers—she soon filled with water up to her cabin floor and grounded—search was now made for the leak, which being found and secured, by the exertions of the crew, the water was soon pumped out, so that the vessel again floated, and on Saturday arrived here. She had on board a quantity of drugs and medicines, belonging to Messrs. G. W. Manice & Co. an assortment of hardware and ironmongery, belonging to Mr. J. P. Drow; clothes to a considerable amount be-
longing to Messrs. Giles W. and I. Porter, and a large quantity of goods belonging to other persons. Most of the cargo was damaged, and some of it totally lost.
Capt. Moore acknowledges the friendly aid of Capt. E. Willett and his hands—by whose spirited exertions he is much indebted for the preservation of his vessel.
OUR HARBOUR exhibits at this time a most pleasing sight, evincive of the rapid growth of the commerce of Albany—the flowing canvas of more than 100 vessels now grace our extensive quays and wharves.
OUR CITY is crowded with waggons loaded with wheat and other rich produce of our soil.—The choicest Beef and Mutton, is sold in our market from 4 to 5 cents a pound.
THE BEEF putting up for home consumption and exportation was never of so fine a quality as the present season, nor half so abundant.
CHEESE To the credit of our dairy farmers, far exceeds all former years, in its superior quality. The price is also moderate.

LATEST ACCOUNTS FROM FRANCE,
By C. Woodroof Sims.
Translated for the Gazette of the U. States. From the Bulletin, published at Rouen, Sept. 19.
GERMANY.
Extract of a letter from Mannheim, dated September 1.
This day the Imperial troops begin to encamp near Schetzingen. This camp will consist of seventy two squadrons of cavalry, and twenty battalions of infantry.
The regiment of Kalemberg departed this morning for the camp. It will be replaced by that of Ferdinand.
By the fourth instant the different camps will be formed.
General Count La Tour will command that of Schetzingen; that of Ludwigbourg will be under the orders of the baron de Stader, and that of Donau-Eschingen will have the prince of Fulenberg for commander.
The Archduke will set off the day after to-morrow to review these camps.
We are assured that after performing this tour, his royal highness will return and establish his head-quarters within our walls.
These military preparations seem to destroy the favorable hopes we had entertained of approaching peace. In the mean time it would be extremely useful to both parties, as well as to the general tranquility of Europe. If the war continues both sides of the Rhine will be devastated.
They are already impoverished by the numerous requisitions and by the presence of the several armies on its borders, who require for their own consumption all the provisions of the first necessity. The misery of the wretched inhabitants is at its height. Commerce is destroyed—Public instruction languishes, and agriculture threatens an entire sterility for the coming year.

COUNCIL OF FIVE HUNDRED. September 14.
The republicans of Chalons-sur-Marne write as follows to the legislature: By baffling the manoeuvres of the royalists you have delivered well of the country. Long live the republic. Long live the directory; and our brave armies. Honor to the immortal 18th of Fructidor.—Honorable mention.
The communes of the department of Eure and of Seine and Oise congratulate the council on the happy day of the 18th Fructidor.—Honorable mention.
The council passed a carriage tax and a toll for the repair of high ways.
The directory transmit in a message, a letter from Dupont (de Nemours) member of the council of elders, in which he gives his resignation.
The order of the day is called for.
Chafai. I think that Dupont ought to have directed his resignation to the council of elders. But as a member of the legislative body belongs to both councils, I think his resignation should be accepted by them both, as well as his admission was confirmed by both. I move that the letter be referred. Several members. Read his letter.
A secretary read it. Dupont (of Nemours) writes to his colleagues, the members of the council of elders, as follows:
You have witnessed my constant attendance to the sittings of the council, and my indefatigable activity in partaking of its labors. The ill state of my health has been such, at last, that I was obliged to be in bed, when I should have attended the sittings. The temporary confinement I suffered in prison, completed the destruction of my health. I give my resignation. Insertion in the journal.
Doulet and Rouzet ask for leave of absence for several months, to go to the mineral waters. The order of the day.
Cales presents a plan of dress for the legislative body.
September 14.
The citizens of Chinon congratulate the council on the 18th Fructidor.
The president announces, that the elders have approved the treaty of peace with Portugal.
The following are the prominent features. The conquests made by each power over the other shall be restored with compensation. They shall observe a strict and reciprocal neutrality. Neither shall furnish to the enemies of the other, ships, provisions, money, nor arms, &c. Portugal shall not admit into its large ports more than six armed vessels belonging to the enemies of the republic, nor more than three vessels into its final
ports. Privateers shall not be admitted in to them except by stress of weather.
The council declared valid the elections in St. Domingo of members to the two councils.
September 15.
Riou after felicitating the directory for having broke the conspiracy of the royalists said:
"Among the causes which have brought about the day of the 18th Fructidor, there is one which has not been sufficiently examined. It is the inveteracy with which the conspirators attacked the operations of the executive. In this class is the motion of Passetore on our connections with America."
"It is notorious, that the English carry on three fourths of their trade by means of American vessels; and as the dress, the manners the language and the habits of the two nations are perfectly alike, it is evident, that it was difficult to distinguish. Therefore the directory acted justly and conformably to principles and to fact, when they adopted the resolution which orders the capture of American vessels not conformable to the articles of the treaty of 1778."
"I move that the council declare, that there is no room to deliberate on the proposition made by Passetore in the sitting of the 2d Messidor, and that they repeal the decree naming a committee the members of which were Passetore, Boissy d'Anglas, Camille, Jourdan, Bailly and Herman, (of the lower Rhine.)—Decreed and the speech of Riou ordered to be printed. The council determined not to sit on each Decadi."

Many addresses of felicitation.
September 18.
An annuity is decreed to the widow of General Marceau, of 2000l.
Pons (of Verdun.) No one is ignorant of the influence which the criminal tribunals had on the last conspiracy.
I could cite a number of proofs of this, if it was necessary; but it is not notorious that every where the accomplices of the royal conspirators have been acquitted. Would it not be well to take measures to replace the presidents and attorneys general of these tribunals? The constitution does not oppose it, for it does not settle the duration of their functions. I merely suggest these observations and move that the subject be referred. Adopted.

MILAN, September 8.
M. d'Antraigues, who was here on his word of honor, has proved to us the confidence which can be placed on the sword and honour of the well born. He has gone off with Sainte Huberty, to whom it is said he is married. [The republicans have probably suffered him to escape as a reward for the information they procured from him as to the royalist conspiracy.]
PARIS, September 13.

September 15.
The ci-devant ducches of Orleans, the prince of Conti and Madame of Bourbon, set off in the nights of the 12th, 13th, for Spain, whither they are to be transported. The first shall receive for herself and her children one hundred thousand livres a year and the others each fifty thousand.
SEP. 16.
ARMY OF THE RHINE AND MOSELLE. General Moreau, before he set off for Paris (where he arrived on the 15th) made to his army the following proclamation.
Head-quarters, Strasburgh, 23rd Fructidor, Sep. 9. The Commander in Chief of the army of the Rhine and Moselle.
I received this morning the proclamation of the Executive Directory of the 12th inst. which informs France, that Pichegru has rendered himself unworthy of the confidence which he has for too long a time commanded in the republic and especially in the armies.
I have also been informed, that several military men too confident in the patriotism or that representative owing to the services he has rendered, doubted that affection.
I owe it to my brethren in arms, and fellow citizens to inform them of the truth.
It is but just to say, that Pichegru had betrayed the confidence of France. I informed one of the members of the Directory on the 17th inst. that there had fallen into my hands a correspondence with Conde and other agents of the pretender; which left no doubt on the subject of this treason.
The Directory has just called me to Paris wishing, no doubt, information more complete respecting that correspondence.
Soldiers be calm, and without disquietude on the events of the interior. Believe that the Government by repressing the Royalists, will watch over the preservation of the Republican constitution, which you have sworn to defend.
Signed MOREAU.
A courier arrived this morning at M. Brocadi's (the Genoise minister) which had brought intelligence that on the 18th Fructidor there had been an attempt to effect a counter-revolution at Genoa, at the head of which were the nobles and the priests. [This was the very day the Royalists began to stir in Paris] there were many killed, and they were overpowered. The courier coming through Lyons on the 22nd in the evening found everything in the same situation. They were still ignorant of what took place here on the 18th.

If I was not persuaded that the Directory

would soon do justice to your perfidy, I would only take the trouble to declare to you, that I will no longer correspond with you. Does it become you to make an address to the armies, the friends and most active agents of the conspirators; you who have surrounded us with spies; you who have persecuted the friends of the government? Have you not caused the republicans whom you have betrayed and who abhor you to forget even your name. (Signed) L. HUGUE.
TRANSLATED for the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES, From a news paper of September 19, called the BULLETIN.
TREATY OF PEACE AND FRIENDSHIP between the French Republic and the Queen of Portugal.
The French Republic and her most faithful majesty the queen of Portugal, desirous of re-establishing the relations of commerce and friendship which existed between the two states before the present war, have given their full powers for entering into negotiation for that purpose, to wit: the executive directory, in the name of the French republic, to citizen Charles Lacroix; and her most faithful majesty to M. le chevalier D'Aranjo Dazevedo, of her said majesty's council, gentleman of her household, chevalier of the order of Christ, and her envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary; who, after having exchanged their respective powers, have concluded the present treaty of peace.
ARTICLE I.
There shall be peace, friendship and good understanding between the French republic and her most faithful majesty the Queen of Portugal.
II. All hostilities shall cease, as well by land as sea, to count from the exchange of the ratification of the present treaty; that is to say, in fifteen days for Europe and the seas that water its coasts, and those of Africa, on this side the Equator, and three months after for the countries and seas situated to the East of the Cape of Good Hope.
III. The ports, cities, places and all other territorial possessions of either of the two powers, in whatsoever part of the world, which shall be found occupied or conquered by the arms of the other, shall be reciprocally restored without requiring any compensation or indemnity, and in the times fixed in the preceding article.
IV. Her most faithful majesty engages to observe the most exact neutrality towards the republic and the other belligerent powers: a like neutrality shall be observed by the French republic in the event of a rupture between Portugal and the other powers of Europe.
In consequence, neither of the contracting powers, during the course of the present war, shall furnish to the enemies of the other, by virtue of any treaty or stipulation whatever, (public or secret) any succours in troops, vessels, arms, ammunition, provisions or money by whatever name it may be called, or under whatever denomination it may be.
V. Her most faithful majesty shall not admit together in her large ports more than six vessels of war, belonging to each one of the belligerent powers, nor more than three in the small. The prizes made by their vessels of war or privateers respectively, nor the privateers themselves shall be received, except in case of distress of weather and imminent danger, in the ports of her most faithful majesty; they shall depart as soon as the danger is over. All sales of merchandise or captured vessels shall be strictly prohibited.
The French republic shall adopt the same rule, in regard to the vessels of war, privateers or prizes belonging to the European powers, with whom her most faithful majesty shall be at war.
VI. Her most faithful majesty acknowledges, by the present Treaty, that all the countries situated to the northward of the limits hereafter designated, between the possessions of the two contracting powers, belong, the entire property and sovereignty, to the French republic; renouncing as much as shall be necessary, both for herself, her successors and heirs all the rights which she might claim to the said countries by whatever title, and specially in virtue of the 8th article of the Treaty concluded at Utrecht, 11th April, 1713. Reciprocally, the French republic recognizes all the countries situated to the south of the said line, as belonging to her most faithful majesty in conformity to the same treaty of Utrecht.
VII. The limits between the two Guyannas, French and Portuguese, shall be determined by the river, called by the Portuguese Calmenie, and by the French Vincent Pinson, which empties into the Ocean, to the southward of Cape North, at about two degrees north latitude. They shall follow the said river up to its source after a right line drawn from its said source towards the east, to Rio Branco.
VIII. The entrance, as well as the entire course of the said river, Calmenie, or Vincent Pinson, shall belong, as to the entire property and sovereignty, to the French republic. But the subjects of her most faithful majesty, settled on its borders, and to the south of the said river, shall not however be interrupted in the free use of the fame, and without being subject to any duties from its entrance, in its course, or in its branches.
IX. The subjects of her most faithful majesty, who shall be found established to the northward of the above designated frontier line, shall be at liberty to remain, on submitting to the laws of the republic, or to retire, and transport their goods and movables, and to alienate the lands which it shall appear belongs to them. The right to retire, and dispose of their goods, movables and immovables, is reciprocally referred to the French, who may be found situated on the south of the line of the frontier. The exercise of the said right is vested in the one as well as the other, for two years, to commence from the exchange of the ratifications of the present treaty.
X. There shall be negotiated and concluded as soon as possible, between the two
powers, a treaty of commerce, founded on the basis of equal and reciprocal advantages.
In the mean time it is agreed, 1. That the Commercial relations shall be established immediately after the exchange of the ratifications, and that the Citizens and subjects of the two powers shall enjoy in the territories of each other all the rights, immunities and privileges which are enjoyed by the most favored nations.
2. That the provisions and merchandise the produce of their soil and manufactures shall be respectively admitted, if similar provisions or merchandise of other nations, are or shall be, and the said provisions or merchandise shall not be subjected to any prohibition, which shall not equally affect, similar provisions and merchandise imported by other nations.
3. That never the less the French Republic being able to offer Portugal only a very trifling vent for her wines, and which cannot compensate the introduction of French cloths into that Kingdom, matters with respect to these two articles shall reciprocally remain in their present state.
4. That the duties of import and others upon the produce and merchandise of the soil and manufactures of the two powers shall be reciprocally regulated and collected upon the footing to which the most favored nations are subjected.
5. That on the imports thus regulated, both the parties shall allow a diminution in favor of the merchandise produced by the manufactures of the soil of the states of each of the two powers, provided they are imported in national vessels, laden on account of Merchants belonging thereto, and sent directly from ports in Europe of the one to ports in Europe of the other party. This diminution as well as the species of merchandise to which it shall apply, shall be regulated by the treaty of commerce to be concluded between the two powers.
6. That as to the rest, all stipulations relative to commerce, inserted in preceding treaties between the two powers shall be profitedly executed, in all respects not contravening the present treaty.
7. Her most faithful majesty shall admit into her ports French vessels of war or of commerce, on the same conditions as the vessels of the most favored nations. Portuguese vessels shall enjoy in France the same reciprocity.
8. The French consuls and vice-consuls shall enjoy the privileges, precedence, immunities, prerogatives and jurisdictions which they enjoyed before the war, and which those of the most favored nations enjoy.
9. The ambassador or minister of the French republic at the court of Portugal, shall enjoy the same immunities, prerogatives and precedencies which the French ambassadors enjoyed before the war.
10. All French citizens, as well as all the individuals composing the household of the ambassador or minister, of the consuls or other accredited and acknowledged agents of the French republic, shall enjoy, in the states of her most faithful majesty, the same liberty of worship, which the most favored nations enjoy in this respect.
The present article and the two preceding shall be observed reciprocally by the French republic towards the ambassadors, ministers, consuls and other agents of her most faithful majesty.

NEW-YORK, Nov. 14. Extract of a letter from Melfis, de Arabet, Gautier, Manning and co. dated Barcelona, July 29th, 1797.
The ship Chatham, Capt. Peters, who failed last Sunday evening from Salce, has since been taken by a French privateer, and is now detained in this river, and in quarantine; but until they may have Pratique, we cannot say what may be the result of this strange proceeding, as all the captain's papers are in order, and the French are not at war with the Americans. The French consular says, that by their republican ordinance, the American's master role, or role d'equipage, should be printed, and it seems the privateer detains Capt. Peters only because his is in manuscript. O TEMPORA, O MORES!
FROM THE DIARY.
On Friday last, at the sittings before Judge Lewis, Esq. was tried a cause on a bill of exchange, remitted to England by the indorser in payment of debt, which was protested; and one of the partners in America employed an agent to endeavour to recover the bill, with damages, which the jury charged at twenty per cent. under the express directions of the court. This decision with other points is referred for the opinion of the Supreme Court; yet, as merchants and the chamber of commerce are of decided opinion, that the party who remits a bill on his own account is only entitled to the damages, &c. It may be well for those who remit bills to be guarded in their endorsements, by making some speciality thereon.
MARRIED —In England, David William, Earl of Mansfield, to Miss Frederica
Markham, 4th daughter of the Archbishop of York.
DIED —At the Lazaretto near this city, aged 42, Capt. JOHN WASSON of the Sch. Hontres, belonging to Fairfield in Connecticut. He was lately from Savannah, where he contracted the yellow fever, supposed from the illthiness of the wharf and shore. He was a man of great integrity and worth, and highly esteemed by all who knew him.
At the General Hospital, near Quebec, the most illustrious and Rt. Rev. Jean Francois Hubert, late bishop of Quebec, aged about 50 years.
LONDON, Sept. 13.
HAUT GON. The letters written by a reverend gentleman, the elder son of the celebrated Mrs. C—ns, to his grace the Duke of B—s, in the name of that lady, engross the conversation of the circles at Brighton. The finances of the fair Cyprian being deranged, the duke was fixed upon as the person most likely to supply the Lady with the further means of extravagance; but as she could not write, her reverend friend wrote the tender epistles in her name. The Duke in the infancy of the correspondence was rather struck with the stile of the lady, answered her letters, and gave her a meeting—but the fraud was at length detected—the lady confused and neglected, and the pious pastor suffered disgrace. We have been favored with copies, and for the amusement of our readers insert
THE FIRST LETTER From Mrs. C—ns to the Duke of B—s
"My Lord Duke, "This letter will probably surprise your grace, coming from one who has not the honor of your acquaintance. I have struggled with my feelings to express such an act of indifference; but the susceptibility of the female heart would not suffer me to defer my emotions. If I am guilty of what a delicate mind might be induced to treat with harshness and indifference, inquire my lord Duke into the cause, and that will induce your forgiveness.
"I am in love, and I am miserable. The world has placed our respective situations in extremes—therefore, what can be a greater stimulus to gratitude than the condescension that will no longer suffer such situations to be an insurmountable objection to at least the honour of an interview.
"My heart is full—My style, I know must exhibit my weakness, whilst I hope it will not fail of impressing on your mind my miseries—if it is confused, consider that the dearest object on earth breaks on my mind, and suffers me not to pay attention to the elegance of composition, or the beauties of language. The honest eloquence of love, my dear lord duke, I hope and sincerely trust, requires neither.
"I have the honour to be, "My Lord Duke, "Your ever," &c. &c.
Brighton, Aug. 21. The above letter was received by his Grace, which, with his wonted politeness, he answered. He was apprised that the lady could not write, but, to gratify a whim, he encouraged a correspondence, that will, we have no doubt, afford amusement to the public.
DUBLIN, Sept. 12.
Fifty one traitors have been capitally convicted on the late North East Circuit, the greater part of whom are sentenced to be hanged in the course of a present month. We state this article upon authority, and with concern, for the fate of so many deluded wretches, which crimes originated not in their own minds, but in the diabolical contrivance of men in a higher class of life who wrote them into the ranks of treason, into which they were too cowardly to enter themselves, and who now pass their time tranquilly, while the victims are stretched in a dungeon, waiting the dreadful summons of the executioner, to be separated forever from a wife and infant family supported by their former care and industry; or helpless parentage, perhaps maintained by their duty and affection!

CONGRESS.
Fifty-four members of the House of Representatives took their seats this day; but a quorum of the Senate not being assembled, an adjournment till to-morrow took place. Twelve members of the Senate took their seats this day.
There is a report in circulation that the British frigate HERMIONE has been role upon by the crew, and carried into Leguira.
The advocates for the proscriptioins in France contend that they are justifiable on the principle of necessity—the necessity of securing liberty by establishing the republic, and preventing the restoration of monarchy. Let us examine this question.
Either a majority of the French nation are desirous of a monarchy, or they are not. If they are, on the republican principle that a "majority must govern," they have a right to restore monarchy. If a majority are not in favor of monarchy, there can be no necessity for illegal and arbitrary measures to suppress the advocates of monarchy; because the existing laws, if supported by a majority of the nation and the army too, are competent to the purpose.
Again. Either Bartelemy, Pichegru, and Co. believe the mass of the nation to be in favor of monarchy, or they do not. If they do, they have a right and it is their duty to destroy the usurpation of a faction and give the nation the form of government they wish. If they do not, they are traitors, and all their party. The last supposition will make rascals of those who have supported unblemished characters, performed most essential services for their country, and enjoyed public confidence for a long series of years—In short, it will prove the character of the nation to be false, that it cannot be believed. If those men are traitors, where is the man left in the nation that can be trusted?
The most probable supposition is, that the proscriptioins party are the friends of peace and established government, and their enemies are determined to pursue the war; they therefore found it necessary to their bloody purposes, to remove the friends of peace, who interposed obstacles to their views. It is a fact asserted with probable authority, that the Directory did not and would not furnish their ministers at Lille, with definitive powers to make peace—but when the British and French negotiators had agreed upon the preliminaries, the Directory declined to ratify them, or evaded. The probability is, that this "triumph of liberty" in France, will cost Europe half a million of lives.
(New-York Paper.)
During the despotism of Robespierre, a curious incident happened at Verneuil: A cobler of that place thought proper to put three hogs under arrest, and to put them into the court-yard to eat the grass, and poison the prisoners with their filth. One of these animals by some means was wounded in the foot. The revolutionary committee was informed of the fact; they met at the prison, and a process verbal was composed; in which it was declared that the prisoners had wounded the hog with a counter-revolutionary intention. Diligent enquiry was made through the house to discover the conspirators; but after searching for some time without success, they mounted the Tribunal, and a Jury was summoned to give their opinion of the offence. The jury, in their verdict declared, that from the evidence before them, it appeared that the hog had wounded himself with some broken glass that lay in the court yard—and so the affair ended. The hogs were removed to give place to horses belonging to another member of the committee; and it was not till after the 9th Thermidor, that the prisoners got rid of these horses, or were themselves set at liberty.
