BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, Sept. 26.
IMPORTANT NEWS!
At length the public expectation receives gratification on the interesting subjects of European politics. Yesterday by the ship Fanny, in 48 days from Greenock, we have received English papers to the 10th of August. The first thing that strikes us, is what relates to Mr. GERRY.
Important Occurrences.
PARIS, July 12.
Letter from the Minister of Foreign Relations, to Mr. Gerry, Envoy from the United States, enclosing him his passport. As long, Sir, as I had room to flatter myself that I might fulfil the wishes of the Executive Directory, by endeavouring to concert with you to re-establish the former good understanding between the French Republic and the United States, I exerted my best efforts both in my conferences and in my correspondence with you, to facilitate the means, to establish the basis, to enter on the business, and to convince you of the utility with which your presence at Paris might be attended.
the United States to extricate, from which it alone would derive advantages; and even on the very suspicions that it must call up in the mind of the French government, I endeavoured to make you see into its possible consequence: but a variety of circumstances occurred which have already retarded the re-establishment of the two republics; it is but natural for him who feels a sincere solicitude for peace, to be under apprehensions lest new obstacles should arise to retard it.
You cannot dissemble, Sir, that if nothing had prevented you from following up with me the examination and the redressing of the grievances which divide the two countries, we should not long stand in need of any thing but our respective ratifications. Who can entertain a doubt of the sincerity of the French government, when it shall be known that for nearly three months every specific solicitation came from me, and that in faithful compliance with the engagements I contracted in my note of 28 Ventose, (March 18) was the first seriously to press forward the business of the negotiation after the departure of Messrs. Pinckney and Marshall?
Yes, Sir, when scarcely acquainted with the departure of Messrs. Pinckney and Marshall, I made it a point in every conference which I held with you from the moment, to evince to you the urgency, the propriety and the possibility of an active negotiation. I laboured to reconcile them, and I was about to transmit proposals to you when a packet from your government arrived at Havre.
On the arrival of the Minister Genet at Philadelphia, in Prairial, 1st year. A universal joy appeared at the declarations which he was authorised to make. He then expressed the amicable and generous expression of the French government, which, powerful in the national energy, abstained from reclaiming the aid of its allies. In a short time some of its proceedings gave umbrage: they were the effect of a zeal ill adapted to circumstances, and unfortunately still worse interpreted.
Ventose, year 2. Their instructions will bear the utmost publicity. Not to interfere in any party affairs; to respect the government; to prompt it to maintain its neutrality with vigor; to repress all armaments which might endanger it; to maintain the rights secured to France by treaties. Such is the subject of these instructions; such, further, were the instructions given to the Minister Adet, who succeeded these agents in the year 3.
Mr. Pinckney had set out before the declaration of the 25th Brumaire, which suspended the acclimated relations. He came to replace M. Munroe, and like him to explain and palliate the conduct of the United States, without any special powers suspending the negotiation desired of France.
In taking leave of you, Sir, I have thought it my duty to give you this testimony of my esteem. It is manifested in the unrestrained confidence with which I addressed you, and in the regrets which I feel from your departure in the existing circumstances.
(Signed) Ch. M. Talleyrand Perigord.
P. S. 17th Messidor [July 13]—A circumstance of infinite importance has retarded this letter. I know not how it is but at every step toward a reconciliation some cause of irritation intervenes, and that always originates in the United States.
veral projects of laws have been proposed for banishing the French, and sequestrating French property. The long suffering of the Directory is about to shew itself in a manner never to be equalled in question. Perfidy can never throw a veil over the public dispositions which it has never ceased to manifest.
Since you intend to depart, hasten, at least, Sir, to transmit to your government this solemn declaration.
LONDON, July 26.
ADMIRALTY OFFICE.
A letter, of which the following is a copy, has been transmitted by admiral lord St. Vincent, commander in chief of his majesty's ships and vessels off Cadiz, to Evan Nepean, esqr. secretary of the admiralty.
Sea Horse, June 27. Off Paulladria WNW 12 leagues.
MY LORD,
After a chase of twelve hours, and a close action of eight minutes, his majesty's ship under my command this morning at four o'clock captured the Sensible, a French 36 gun frigate, 12 pounders, and 330 men, commanded by monsieur Bourde, capitaine de Vaisseau, was new coppered, copper fastened, and had a thorough repair at Toulon two months ago.
A general of division, Baraguey D'Hilliers, with his fleet, was on board, going to Toulon with an account of the capture of Malta. The Sea Horse's officers and men conducted themselves much to my satisfaction, and I received that assistance from Mr. Wilmott, the first lieutenant, which I might naturally expect from an officer who had been in nine actions, and received eight wounds.
Two masters mates and nine men belonging to the Cullen evinced the same steady courage as the crew of that ship have done on every occasion.
I have the honour to be, &c.
(Signed) ED. J. FOOTE.
Sea Horse—1 seaman, 1 drummer killed; Mr. Wilmott first lieutenant slightly, 13 seamen, 1 corporal of marines, 1 private marine, wounded. Sensible—18 killed; monsieur Bourde, capitaine et capitaine de Vaisseau, second capitaine, 23 men wounded.
July 28.
There were six beautiful stands of silk colours found on board La Sensible. La Sensible is detained by lord St. Vincent. She is a fine frigate.
Such was the dispatch used in sending her to sea again, that she was manned and re-commissioned on the very evening she arrived off Cadiz.
Tartmouth, July 26.
Yesterday arrived the Prince of Wales extra packet with a foreign messenger, with dispatches of importance for government, and about 22,000 in specie.
Glasgow, July 31.
Thursday arrived a Hamburg mail. Almost every article of intelligence brought by this mail breathes war.
August 7.
Into Vienna Gazette it is stated that admiral Neilson paid Messina Light House on the 20th June.
Another account says he did not leave Messina harbour till the 23rd; and that the British admiral had declared he would sink every ship that would bring provisions to Malta. Passawan Oglon has been beheaded. A report prevails here, that according to letters arrived at Grenobles from Marfeilles, there has been an engagement between the fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Neilson. These letters state, that the engagement took place not far from Malta; that two of the English ships, were sunk, and 4 taken, and that Nelson's Squadron is diminished three fourths.

RICHARD THOMAS, Esquire Representative in Congress for the District composed of the counties of Chester and Delaware.  DENNIS WHIFLEN, Esquire State Senator, for the District composed of the counties of Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks.

HEALTH-OFFICE, 11th September, 1798.
FELLOW-CITIZENS, OUR address of the 1st inst. was intended to present to your view the deplorable state of our city, and to excite into active exertion the philanthropy and benevolence so eminently characteristic of the citizens of Pennsylvania. The same generous sentiments which you have displayed has influenced the worthy and benevolent citizens of Baltimore; who always alive to the feelings of humanity, have, it appears by the public papers, agreed to a subscription for the relief of our distressed fellow citizens.
We return them all the gratitude and respect to which dispositions so amiable are entitled; but it becomes our duty publicly to state that a fund has been provided for the purpose, upon the principal of a loan in anticipation of the liberality and justice of our Legislature, which precludes the necessity of donations in money from the humane citizens of our sister states—Contributions of provisions from our fellow-citizens in the country, as well in New Jersey as in our own State, have been forwarded for the use of the distressed, with a liberality which does honor to the donors. We flatter ourselves that similar donations will be continued by those generous individuals, who are contiguous to the city, and can with convenience spare a part of their produce for the relief of suffering humanity. By order of the Board of Managers. WM. JONES, President. Attest TIMOTHY PAXSON, Clerk.
New Encampment.
The Committee who superintend the encampment at Mather's place near the Mill Pond on the Germantown Road, about two miles from the city, respectfully inform their country friends that they stand in need of an immediate supply of vegetables and straw for the use of those distressed citizens who are flying from the present calamity. The committee flatter themselves that the same liberality will be found in the farmer, and others, to supply this Encampment, as has been to that on the Commons near Schuylkill, both having the same laudable object in view. John Inkkeep Jon. Robeson Isaac W. Morris } COMMITTEE. Camp, Mather's Place, September 10, '98.
THE Committee are happy in having it in their power to inform those citizens who are not in a situation to provide for themselves and are desirous to remove from the city or liberties, that they are now prepared to receive from 6 to 700 persons at the Encampment on Mather's Place, in the Northern Liberties where such persons will be furnished with comfortable apartments and necessary provisions during the present calamity.
Agreeable to notification in several of the newspapers of the City of Philadelphia, requesting a meeting of the merchants, traders, mechanics and other citizens, at the Union School House in Germantown, on Wednesday 29th August, at 4 o'clock P. M. in order to fix on a suitable character to be offered at the ensuing election to represent the City of Philadelphia in Congress, in the vacancy occasioned by the decease of John Swanwick, Esq. and also in the next Congress—A senator, to represent in the state senate, the city of Philadelphia and County of Delaware—and six persons to represent the city in the house of assembly.—A numerous and respectable body of the freemen of the city attended. The business of the meeting being opened, a letter from captain Joseph Anthony, addressed to the chairman of the meeting was read, expressing a decided opinion on the necessity of uniting the interest of the friends of the constitution and government in the choice of their representatives, that he concurred Mr. Robert Waln well qualified for a seat in Congress, and soliciting his fellow-citizens that his name may not be offered in competition with that gentleman, who has his full concurrence and approbation.
ROBERT WALN, was nominated and unanimously carried as the Candidate for Congress. FRANCIS GURNEY, as State Senator for the district composed of the City and County of Philadelphia and County of Delaware; and as members to represent the City in assembly— Jacob Hilsheimer, Lawrence Seckel, Andrew Bayard, William Hall, printer. Samuel W. Fisher, John Clement Stocker.
The question being put, will this meeting support the forgoing ticket? it was unanimously agreed to, and it was also recommended to the freemen of the City of Philadelphia attached to the federal government for their support, and to those of the County of Philadelphia and County of Delaware in support of the Senator.
Ordered, that the minutes of the meeting, signed by the chairman and secretary, be published in the newspapers of the City, for the general information of the electors. LEVI HOLLINGSWORTH, Chairman. DANIEL SMITH, Secretary. Germantown, 29th August, 1798.
