CONGRESS.

WEDNESDAY, May 16. MR. D. FOSTER made a report on the petition of Joseph Cowperthwaite, Naval Agent of Georgia...
On motion of Mr. SEWALL, an additional member was added to the committee for the protection of commerce...
Mr. SEWALL said, the committee for the protection of commerce and defence of the country, to whom it was referred...
Ordered, that the committee on that part of the President's Speech which relates to commerce and the defence of the country...
Ordered to lie on the table. The House having again resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the State of the Union...
Mr. GALLATIN said, this section contemplated giving to the President the power of admitting men into military service...
It appeared to him difficult precisely to delineate and define what kind of Corps this is to be.
In other respects, these Volunteers very much resemble the Army of the United States; inasmuch as they are to be enlisted...

Infantry Volunteer Corps, or Troops of Horse, of this city, have got their full complement of men; there could be no difficulty, therefore, in young men making themselves Volunteers, either by establishing new corps of militia or by joining such as are at present on foot. How far the deficiency in respect to these voluntary corps might exist in other parts of the Union, he could not say; but he recollected that the gentleman from S. Carolina (Mr. Harper) when speaking on a subject in some degree connected with this, had said, that though there appeared to be many troops of horse in the Southward, they rather existed on paper than otherwise. He supposed, therefore, that there was a good opening for volunteer young men in that quarter. Besides, the law of last session, ordering a detachment of 30,000 Militia, provides that the President shall have the power of accepting of any Volunteer Corps of Militia who shall offer their service. He did not see, therefore, any advantage to be derived to the defence of the country, by means of this clause, which could not be obtained by means of the laws already existing.
The committee were told the other day, that by virtue of this bill, a number of Volunteer corps would be raised, who would associate themselves for the purpose of learning the Military Art, which would be of great service to the Union. He saw nothing of this sort in this bill which was not common to all the Militia. It would, therefore, be a matter of choice, and it was the same with all those companies of Militia of which he had spoken, the light Infantry companies and troops of horse belonging to the militia having uniformly taken more pains than the other corps of the Militia to make themselves masters of military discipline.—It was said also at the same time, that these corps were to nominate their own officers, and that they would receive their commissions from the President. He did not understand this from the bill; it contains no provision of the kind, and if it did such provision would be unconstitutional. The bill says the Officers of these Volunteer Corps shall be appointed by the President, and the Constitution directs that the President or Heads of Department shall appoint all Officers whose appointment is not otherwise provided by the Constitution. If these young men were to enrol themselves as a part of the Militia, they would then in the state of Pennsylvania, have the choice of their own officers by law, but, according to the proposed establishment, they cannot do this. They may recommend a person as an officer, but this could not be called a nomination of an officer.
But he believed serious objections might be found to this provision on the ground of expediency. What is to be the organization of these corps? They are to be distinct from the Militia. It is not proposed that they should individually enlist, but form themselves into associations, which would be literally Military Associations, and Military Associations to last for two years. To consist of whom? Of those persons, who, from their situation in life, are able to arm, clothe and equip themselves at their own expence. It was therefore giving an exclusive privilege to a certain class of men (young merchants, lawyers and others) who are possessed of more wealth than their poorer neighbours, to form a Military Association. And for what purpose? They are liable to be called out to do Military duty in any manner that the President may think proper. They are to be altogether at his disposal. Here, then, is an association of men, authorized by law, a Military Association, and when thus organized, to be put within the power of the President of the United States, to be called into action, whenever he pleases. For there is no limitation in this clause, as in the case of raising the Provisional Army, that those men shall be called into service in case of war, invasion, or imminent danger of invasion; but the President may accept of their services at any time. There is no limitation, except that which is upon the duration of the law. The President is also to accept whom, and reject whom he pleases. So that if there be evils to be apprehended from the existence of a Standing Army; if there was at any time ground of alarm from establishments of this kind endangering the existence of Public Liberty, it would be impossible to form a Standing Army more dangerous than this. Here are men who, in the first place are to associate themselves, not here and there nor taken indiscriminately, but men of a peculiar cast, who are to associate themselves under the President, and to be called upon to do duty by him. It need not be said, that no danger is to be apprehended from the President's abusing this power—and that we ought to have confidence in him; for, if a majority of this house are ready to say that no danger is to be apprehended from establishments of this kind, and that Standing Armies are never abused—and who have discarded all those principles favourable to liberty which heretofore actuated the councils of this country, no arguments which he could make use of would have any effect upon their minds. But he took it for granted, that Standing Armies were considered as a dangerous weapon, and ought to be guarded against. It was from this conviction, that he thought it unnecessary to say anything on the danger of encouraging these establishments; and if that principle was admitted, he would say that the army now proposed, would be a Standing Army of the worst kind, as the men are to be called nothing, except when in service, and as they are to be unlimited in their number. He knew it was not in our power (our revenues not being sufficient for it) to raise a Standing Army in the ordinary way, large enough to prove dangerous to the liberties of the country; but the manner in which this force, is proposed to be raised, removes the great security which we otherwise should have from our inability to pay a large Standing Army.
Nor could Mr. G. believe that the advantages which gentlemen promised themselves would result to the defence of the country from the service of these young men. For who are the men who are to form these corps? They are men who can afford to arm, clothe and equip themselves; and could it be expected, Mr. G. asked, that Young Men, in the situation of life which these young men must be in, would wish to enlist themselves as private soldiers for two years? He should suppose not. These young men would be most likely to repel any sudden invasion; would be active and serviceable to take a tour of duty for three or six months, in common with their fellow citizens of the Militia; but it is not consistent with the principles of human nature to suppose, that young men of this description who have got other pursuits in view, and who wish to establish themselves in business, would be willing to lay aside for the business of a soldier. For a case of emergency, or as Officers, he should suppose them willing to engage in the service, but not as common soldiers.
Mr. G. did not believe, therefore, that the service which these young men expected to be called upon to perform was a military service of two years. He believed few of them would be willing to enter, if they thought they were the next day liable to be called up-
on to perform two years service as private soldiers, though they might be ready to take their full share, or more, of Military duty.
Upon the whole, Mr. G. said, it appeared to him that this section contemplated the erection of a standing Military Force of the very worst kind, to consist of young men not regulated by law, but by association. In short, it was, in his idea, a plan to arm one description of men, exclusively of others, and give them to the President of the United States, to be used as he pleased and what security had they that they would not be used for dangerous purposes? If he was mistaken in his construction of this bill, he wished to be rectified; but, with his present impressions, he must hope the section would be struck out.

PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 2.
COMMUNICATION.
The propriety of wearing some badge of distinction is suggested to the different volunteer corps now forming in this city. Whether it is proper to wear any badge merely for the purpose of denoting the political sentiments of our fellow citizens, is a question which has created some doubt; but that it is proper to distinguish those who now so gallantly offer their services to their country, must be obvious to all. It has now become necessary to give a military appearance to the United States. Nothing perhaps can be better calculated to excite the military ardor of the people, or to impress upon the minds of the more ignorant class of the community, that through the rapacity and perfidy of France, preparation is as necessary as war is inevitable. Upon the bulk of mankind, parade, and even ostentation, most forcibly operates, and the sight of a feather or an uniform, may give greater aid than could at first be imagined, to motives of duty and patriotism. It is besides necessary, that the enthusiasm which animates the breasts of Americans, should be rendered visible to the world, that it should be known how great is our strength; wherein it consists; what is the number of our troops; and of whom they are composed. It is not sufficient for this purpose to wear only the cockade, since that is worn by persons who neither are nor mean to become soldiers, and they ought surely to be excluded from the honor attached to voluntarily undertaking the defence of our liberty and independence.
Advised by these opinions, the volunteer company of Philadelphia Grenadiers have entered into a resolution to wear at all times a black feather in their hats, and to appear upon Sundays in full uniform. It is hoped that this example will be followed. The effect cannot be injurious; it is believed that it would be found to be beneficial.
To the Volunteers of Philadelphia, New-York, Baltimore, &c.
BETHREN,
It is my sincere wish that, as soon as we get our cloathing and are organized, we shall meet regularly on Sundays, for the purpose of attending divine service. As persons of various religious denominations will compose the company, it will be advisable to attend the different places of worship alternately. If this recommendation should meet with the approbation of my fellow soldiers, the best effects will undoubtedly be the result. Our morals, if we be serious, will be improved; the cloathing which we shall wear as soldiers will all answer for our dress as citizens on the Sabbath; and a military enthusiasm will be created which will greatly encrease our numbers.

At an annual meeting of the Corporation of the Chosen Freeholders, for the County of Sussex, in the State of New-Jersey, held at Newton, on the 10th of May, 1798.
Major THOMAS PAUL, from a Committee appointed for that purpose, reported the following address:—
To JOHN ADAMS, PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES.
SIR, FEELING, in common with the whole American people, the sensibilities excited by the present alarming crisis—the incorporation of a body of the chosen freeholders for the county of Sussex, in the state of New-Jersey, believing it to be their duty, to convey to the Chief Magistrate of the union, the expression of their sentiments and determinations,
Discerning no motive for distrust in the integrity of the public servants, who, possessing the same interests with their fellow-citizens administer the government by their choice—we have repelled with indignation the attempts that have been made, abroad and at home, to separate the people from their constituted authorities. Placing especial and entire confidence in the patriotism, virtue and wisdom of which your early, faithful and continued services are the incontrovertible proof—we have regarded, with peculiar pleasure and approbation, the earnest, sincere and upright endeavour, which you have unremittingly used for the preservation of peace, and the restoration of harmony with the French republic, on terms compatible with the essential rights and sovereignty of the nation.
The world must be convinced of the spirit of justice and moderation which has actuated you in the conduct of our foreign relations, and of the rapacity and profligacy of those who, rejecting your pacific overtures, require of us to pay for our own ignominy; and to surrender at once the treasures and independence of America.
If perseverance in pretensions like these should leave us no alternative but submission or resistance, Americans cannot hesitate to choose. If the pride and the injustice of France, or any foreign power, should drive us to the last solemn appeal, which by all honorable means we would have avoided; the zeal and the unanimity of our efforts will convince them, that we are not a divided or a degraded people.
For ourselves personally, we assure you, Sir, that in such a contest, no considerations of expence or of danger, can induce us to abandon the government of our choice,
or to relax in a single exertion of the power we possess in support of our national rights, honor and sovereignty.
The above address being read and unanimously approved of by the corporation, consisting of thirty members, representing the fifteen townships in the county of Sussex—On motion of Robert Ogden, Esq. resolved, that the same be signed by Major-General William Helms, Director of the Corporation, and be transmitted by the Clerk, to Mark Thomson, Esq. one of our Representatives in Congress, with a request to present the same to the President, as expressive of the sentiments of this Corporation, and as they conceive, of the whole body of the county of Sussex.
By order of the Corporation, WM. HELMS, Director. Attest, JOHN JOHNSON, Clerk.
The Incorporated Body of Chosen Freeholders for the County of Sussex.
GENTLEMEN, I THANK you for this obliging address. When you repelled with indignation the attempts that have been made, abroad and at home, to separate the people from their constituted authorities, you acted the part of wise men and virtuous citizens.
The favorable allusion to my past services is very honorable to me, and your approbation of the late measures for the preservation of peace, and restoration of harmony with the French Republic, gives me great satisfaction.
Your choice of resistance, in preference to submission, pride and injustice, must be approved of by all independent and impartial minds.
Your assurance, that no consideration of danger, or expence, can induce you to abandon the government of your choice, or relax in a single exertion of the power you possess, in support of our national rights, honor and sovereignty, does you great honor.
JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, May 30th, 1798.
To THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
SIR, WE, the Subscribers, Inhabitants of the Town of Windsor, in the State of Vermont, deeply impressed, with the critical situation, to which our Country is reduced, by the ambitious views, secret intrigues and nefarious conduct of a foreign Nation, aided by unprincipled and designing men of our own Country, conceive it our duty to declare to you our fullest approbation of your conduct in this arduous and important conjuncture of public affairs.
At the same time permit us, Sir, to assure you and the Congress of the United States, that although peace is the most ardent wish of our hearts; yet it is a peace founded upon the great principles of national independence, and honor, which shall not be degraded by the officious interference, imperious demands, or the piratical depredations of any nation on earth, and that we are ready and willing to pledge our lives and fortunes in support of such measures as the national government may think best to adopt to protect our commerce, defend our country from insult and maintain our independence and liberties inviolate.
[Signed by two hundred and twenty-eight persons.] To the inhabitants of the town of Windsor, in the State of Vermont.
GENTLEMEN, I thank you for this address, prefaced to me by your Senators in Congress, Mr. Paine and Mr. Chipman.
Your attachment to peace on the principles of national independence and honor, not degraded by the officious interference, imperious demands, or piratical depredations of any nation is amiable.
The pledges of your lives and fortunes in support of such measures, as the national government may think best to adopt, to protect our commerce, defend our country from insult and maintain our independence and liberties inviolate are honourable to you, and acceptable to your country.
JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, May 29, 1798.
To the President, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
WE the subscribers, citizens of Kent County, in the state of Maryland, convened for the purpose of making known to government our sentiments and determination on the present alarming situation of our country, beg leave to say, that having maturely considered the communications from our envoys to France, we are sorry to find terminated on by that government, totally incompatible with the sovereignty of the United States.
We are of opinion, that decision, at all times necessary, is now essentially so, and therefore make known to you and to our country at large, that although we wished well to France whilst we thought her engaged in defence of her natural rights, yet we are not so lost to a sense of virtue and patriotism as to countenance her present unjust and extravagant demands.
As Americans jealous of the honor and attached to the freedom of our country, we repel with indignation every invidious attempt to separate us from the government of our choice, and although we are re-prefaced a divided people by one of the powers of Europe, yet we will manifest to the world that we shall always be ready to unite in opposing the attempts of any foreign nation who may presume to invade our rights and privileges.
We therefore hesitate not to declare in the most explicit manner, that having the highest confidence in the moderation, wisdom and virtue of our government, and having seen, with heartfelt satisfaction, the wise, liberal and conciliatory disposition of the executive as exhibited in the instructions to our envoys extraordinary to France, evincing a sincere desire to accommodate with all honorable means our differences with that republic, we pledge ourselves to give our firm support to such measures as the government may deem necessary to maintain the interest, dignity and independence of our country.
[Signed by 47.] ANSWER.
To the citizens of Kent County, in the state of Maryland.
GENTLEMEN, Your address to the President, Senate and House of Representatives, has been presented to me, by your Senator in Congress, Mr. Lloyd, and your representative in Congress, Mr. Matthews.
With you I fully agree, that at this critical juncture, firmness and decision are peculiarly necessary. We wished well to France, and we still wish her well; we wish her contented with her own power and glory, and that she would make peace with the world, upon honest terms; but a sense of justice can never permit us to wish her possessed of unlimited
power, by sea and by land, which is now too apportionately her object, and patriotism forbids us to countenance her unjust and extravagant demands upon us. Though the French have forgotten the inebriation of absolute power, I hope we have not.
I thank you for your assurance of confidence in the government, approbation of its past measures, and pledge of your firm support, to such measures as the government may deem necessary, to maintain the interest, dignity and independence of our country.
JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, May 30th, '98.
The Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen and Common Council of the borough of Elizabeth, in their Common Hall assembled this fourth day of May, 1798—
Do resolve unanimously,
1. That in the opinion of this Corporation, the President of the United States is entitled to the warmest thanks and approbation of his country, for his instructions to our Envoys at Paris; inasmuch as they manifest the utmost firmness upon every point, which might affect the Neutrality and Independence of these United States, and the highest spirit of conciliation upon every point, whereby our unhappy difference with the French republic might be accommodated.
2. That the late dispatches from our Envoys, have made known, such attempts to render the people of these United States, tributaries to the Republic of France; such ideas of our being a divided people, and a people separated from their government; and such threats of humbling our republic, or of parceling us out, in the manner they have humbled and parcelled out some of the Republics in Europe, as deserve the most marked indignation of every free and independent American.
3. That the power and malice, cupiditas and ambition, of the French Republic, considered together, raise such apprehensions of danger, as naturally tend to produce among all true lovers of their country, the most perfect union, and the greatest activity, which, in aid of the efforts of our national Councils, which we pledge ourselves to support, will, we trust, enable us by the blessing of God, to set at defiance the machinations of all our enemies.
4. That it is expedient for the citizens in this borough, at this all important crisis, to send an address to the President and both Houses of Congress, expressive of the foregoing sentiments, and of an entire confidence in their wisdom, firmness and patriotism.
5. That the Mayor do transmit the foregoing resolutions, together with the address, to the Hon. Jonathan Dayton, with a request, that he together with such of the other Members of the Senate and House of Representatives from the State of New-Jersey, as may find it convenient, would present or cause the same to be presented in such manner as they may judge most proper.
By order of the Corporation, ELIAS DAYTON, Mayor. Attest, AARON OGDEN, Clerk, &c.
To the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Recorder, Aldermen, and Common Council of the Borough of Elizabeth in New-Jersey.
GENTLEMEN, Your resolutions adopted on the fourth of this month, have been presented to me by the Speaker, Mr. Dayton.
Your thanks for the instructions to our Envoys, as they manifest firmness on every point, which might affect the neutrality and independence of the United States, and the highest spirit of conciliation, upon every point, whereby our unhappy differences with the French Republic might be accommodated, are extremely acceptable and grateful to me.
The marked indignation you express, at the unworthy treatment of this nation in the persons and functions of her Envoys, are the just sentiments of every free and independent American.
The present crisis certainly calls for the most perfect union and greatest activity, among the true lovers of their country in aid of the efforts of our national Councils, which you nobly pledge yourselves to support.
I trust with you, that by the blessing of God, we may set at defiance the machinations of all our enemies.
JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, May 14, 1798.
Answer of the President of the United States, to the address of the Citizens of Portland, District of Maine, in Massachusetts.
To the Citizens of the Town of Portland, in the District of Maine, in the State of Massachusetts.
GENTLEMEN,
SENTIMENTS more worthy of free men and free Republicans, than those, which you express in your address, prefaced to me by your Representative in Congress, Mr. Wadsworth, have never appeared.
For your personal civilities to me, I can only return my thanks; but when you declare, as a part of the American people, educated in the love and enjoyment of liberty, and in habits of veneration for republican virtues, that you have no language to express your indignation at the late measures of the French Republic, originating in the most nefarious and corrupt stratagems to annihilate our national sovereignty; when you declare that while every principle of duty and interest prompt you to unite in the preservation and defence of our excellent constitution, and in the support of those by whom it has been faithfully administered, you cannot express your deep regret, that the citizens of France, do not possess virtue sufficient to merit the blessings of a free government; when you declare, that however wicked and hostile may be the designs upon us, your confidence, by the favor of Heaven, is in the fortitude and unanimity of our countrymen to repress their pernicious effects, and that you believe, at the same time, that a nation under the yoke and rod of despotism, and whose councils are distracted and corrupted, ought not to be feared,—I am altogether unable to answer you but with my unfeigned admiration.
JOHN ADAMS. Philadelphia, May 15th, 1798.

NEW-YORK, June 1.

The following Important Article, is copied from Lloyd's Evening Post of April 2d, 1798.
"Among the reports which the non-arrival of any intelligence from France has, within these few days, given rise to, is the following: that the American Commissioners at Paris have been ordered to depart, and that all American property in France, which is supposed to amount to 3,000,000, is to be confiscated."

SWITZERLAND.
London April 3.—We yesterday stated, that the fate of Switzerland was decided, and that the brave general who commanded the remainder of the Bernois army had been murdered with some of his best officers.
It appears that two actions were fought on the 3d and 4th, with doubtful success; but that on the 5th the French obtained a decided victory, and entered Berne almost immediately after the action.—The national courage and intrepidity of the Swiss, to which even their enemies are said to have borne an honourable testimony, were rendered useless by a want of discipline and skill more, by a spirit of discension and insatiation, almost without example. It appears that general D'Erlach and several of their best officers, were massacred by the troops, either during the action or immediately after.—That on the 4th (the day preceding the last decisive battle) while the council of Berne were determining on the abdication of the government, the troops who were on their march to meet the enemy, upon a suspicion of treachery, massacred several of their officers in the streets of the town. With such a total want of confidence and discipline in the troops, it is a matter of surprise that any resistance should have been attempted, rather than that it should have proved ineffectual. Political treachery completed what military jealousy and discension had begun.—Even after the capture of Berne, the affairs of Switzerland were still capable of being retrieved; when the Peasantry of the Lake of Zurich, taking advantage of the general confusion, possessed themselves of the town, and prevented the contingents of the smaller cantons from marching to the relief of Berne. It appears that these deluded people acted in concert with the directory, and that they had bad deputies at Paris, for some time before.
The spirit of animosity and antipathy to the French, exists in a stronger degree than ever in the smaller cantons; but they are wholly disunited, and destitute of leaders. The country, for four leagues round Berne has been abandoned to the French troops, who have surpassed their usual rage for plunder and wanton devastation.
The fury of the peasantry, indignant at the idea of having been betrayed by their own government, has given rise to a variety of shocking outrages; and the general anarchy is purposely encouraged by the French who have released all the criminals.
The Bandes Noires, so well known for their cruelty and rapacity, are quartered in the town of Berne.—Many families have emigrated. The Avoyer Steiger, who had determined not to survive the defeat of his countrymen in the action of the 5th, was carried off the field by a party of peasants, and conveyed to the mountains; almost all the young men of the patrician families perished on the same day.
LONDON, March 28.
The new French minister, M. Roberjot, is arrived at Hamburg, and has delivered his credentials to the Senate. Great apprehensions are entertained in that city, in consequence of the refusal of the Senate to the demand of the French government relative to the loan. M. Talleyrand lately wrote to the Senate to inform them of the refusal of the directory to comply with the terms which the Senate had proposed, signifying at the same time that the whole amount of the sum required of the Hans Towns was to be furnished by Hamburg, which might afterwards, make such arrangements with Lubeck and Bremen as it might think proper. The Senate replied to Mr. Talleyrand Perigord by stating

their inability to furnish the sum required of them by France (amounting to twelve millions of livres) and proposing, in lieu thereof, to pay the four millions already offered on their subscriptions, and to accept three millions of Dutch receipts, instead of four, as it was at first settled, in order to cover them. It may be easily conceived, that they went with much impatience for the answer from France, and that the Merchants are not a little apprehensive of the consequences which may ensue to their trade. Probably the French may take advantage of the above circumstance to carry their iniquitous plan against Hamburg into execution.
Extract of a letter from Yarmouth, March 24. Arrived, the King George packet, capt. Deane, from Cuxhaven, in 36 hours, with mails 30,000. of money, and a great number of passengers, among whom was Mr. Williams, Consul of America.
The debate last night in the House of Commons, on the plan of national defence—is of a very important nature. It must afford the greatest consolation to witness the activity of government, which cannot fail to arouse and animate all descriptions of men in the common cause.—The speeches of Mr. Pitt and Mr. Dundas are very interesting and will be read with great avidity and satisfaction by every sincere friend to his country, now menaced by an ambitious and formidable enemy.
March 30 Count Woronzow, the Russian minister, and Mr. King, ambassador from America, had audience yesterday with Lord Grenville, at his house in Cleveland-row.
The course of exchange is risen so rapidly in favor of this country, that every packet from Hamburg brings over remittances of gold to the amount at least of 100,000. sterling.
Mr. Abbott and the other members of the select committee are proceeding with vigor and perseverance in their invaluable inquiries into the abuses of the public offices. They are now employed in the Augustan Slaves of the law, where the fees of patent officers and the emoluments to the chiefs of departments are laid to enornous sums.
The few Postmaster-general, Lord Auckland, has begun very extensive reforms in that department. On Saturday night all the newspapers were examined to see that no writing was put upon the stamped sheets, so as to defraud the revenue of postage.
In 1533 Francis I. built a vessel at Havre, called La Grande Françoise, in which there was a tennis court, and a wind mill, with a forge put in motion by the waves. The command was given by the Chevalier Villers de L'Isle, nephew to the grand master of Rhodes. As soon as the vessel was finished, the wind on the sand in going out of the harbor, and being laid flat by a sudden squall of wind, was never got up again.
The Quakers of Stroud, Rochester and Chatham, observing some of their fraternity have, in the west and other parts of England, contributed bountifully for the defence of the Kingdom, have resolved to call an immediate meeting, and open a book of subscriptions for the purpose of becoming friendly to the general safety and prosperity of the nation.
Yesterday's advices were received by government of the general state of preparation in some of the ports of France for the expedition against England. Within the last fortnight, the preparations, both naval and military, are become more visible, and appear in some places in a great degree of forwardness.
The following is an extract of a letter received from an officer belonging to the squadron of Sir Richard Strachan, off the mouth of the Seine: OFF HAVRE, March 23, 1798. "There are 4 frigates and 4 corvettes in this port, the former of which and one of the latter are ready for sea. We boarded a neutral vessel yesterday, which informed us that most of the effective seamen at Havre were sent two days before over land to Breft, where preparations are making for some immediate expedition. There are a great many flat-bottomed boats at Havre, that carry two heavy guns each, one in the bow, and the other in the stern; twenty two of them are now lying in the inner road; and when we landed we occasionally saw the soldiers exercised in rowing and sailing them. They are larger than our boats, and carry from 30 to 40 men, and carry from 70 to 80 men. We can count 14 more building upon the beach, which have been run up in a few days. All the vessels with which we have hitherto spoken, agree in their accounts that it is the intention of the enemy to complete 100 of these boats. It is now understood, from every intelligence that can be collected, that a general attack is intended by way of feint against England, in order to favour a real expedition against Ireland."
By the same advices we understand that the preparations in the port of Breft have been renewed with great vigour; and a fall of the line appear to be ready for sea, besides 13 frigates.
April 16. A letter from Brussels, dated the 7th of April, states the following:—The preparations for the expedition against England redouble on our coasts. It appears that a corps of 3000 Dutch troops will soon arrive in our department, and take positions on the coast between Ostend, the Scheldt, and Nieuport. The Batavian government, will also furnish, for the defence, a squadron composed of ships of war, which shall remain ready for service in the ports of the republic.
"On the other hand the troops of the army of Italy, which lately arrived at Brussels, are about to march immediately, in order to join the right wing of the Army of England, of which they are to form a part. The other troops in garrisons in the interior are also to march for the coast of Dunkirk."
The American Senate begins to rival our European Assemblies in manners. A Mr. Lyon and a Mr. Griswold kicked one another round the House of Representatives; and it required a discussion of several days to settle the dispute.
In the territories of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, various attempts have been made to excite disturbance; but hitherto without success.
The French have enforced the requisition in Holland of every fifth man.
Yesterday, in consequence of the order issued by the House of Peers for the apprehension of the proprietor and printer of the Morning Chronicle, Mr. Perry and Mr. Lambert were brought to the bar of the House. Strangers were excluded during the proceedings, but we understood Lord Minto to have moved, that they should be imprisoned three months in Newgate, and fined in the sum of 500. each. The Duke of Bedford, we also understood, moved as an amendment, that the term of the imprisonment, should be one month only; which motion was rejected, on a division, by a majority of 69 to 11.
Mr. Perry and Mr. Lambert were last night conveyed to Newgate, by two doorkeepers of the House of Lords.
Row-boats are now building under contract for government, at Mr. Pritchett's yard at North-fleet. They are on a new construction; measuring 18 feet wide, 7 deep, and 60 in the keel; to carry one cannon on the prow, two short carronades in the stern, and to be manned with 65 men. Their great utility is to go in every direction against wind and tide.
HALIFAX, (N. S.) May 15. It must afford much pleasure to the inhabitants of this loyal and highly favoured Province to learn that the subscriptions which were opened on Thursday at the Treasury and court-house, for the liberal purpose of relieving the exigencies of government, have hitherto answered the most sanguine expectations:—The subscriptions in this town alone amounted to upwards of four thousand pounds sterling last evening, and we have no doubt a very considerable sum more will be added, before the close of the week.
This is an emanation of the true British Spirit which has long bid defiance to the machinations of an invidious enemy; and which springing spontaneously from the parent country, operates with resistless energy to the farthest extremes of her extensive dominions.

GERMAN DIET. Account of a grand public dinner given some time ago at Rastadt. Buonaparte in the chair. The Emperor at the bottom, and the different German Princes, &c. seated round the table. BUONAPARTE. MAY I trouble you, Mr. Emperor, for a slice of Germany, on the left of the Rhine? Emp. By all means. May I give you to hand this way that Venetian dish? Buon. Certainly. Just allow me to help my friend Cisi-Alpine to a bit of the brown, and to give admiral Toulon a spoonful of the marrow. I'll thank you for that Flemish beer that has flooded you for long. Emp. Flemish beer! It has been yours of late; but I now give it you forever. It has always been so volatile, so frothy, that it never has agreed with me; no cork could contain it, and you shall have it with all my heart. Buon. I am much obliged to you; allow me to send you a glass of Salzburg wine in return. Emp. A bottle if you please. I've had an excessive longing after it a considerable time. Elector of Mentz. Mr. Emperor, in cutting off the slice of the left side of the Rhine you've given away my favorite bit. Elector of Treves. And you have deprived me of my whole dinner. Elector of Cologne. And me you have left without a morsel on my plate. Saxon. Hush! hush! you fools, or he'll take plate, knives and forks, and all from you. Emp. Gentlemen don't grumble. Help yourselves out of your neighbors plates. Hand over that dish of Hanover and Hamburg to Prussia, and he will provide plentifully for all of you. Buon. Will you allow me to help myself to a slice of Swiss fat? Sardinia, send me your Sabre, and that Nice bit at the bottom of the table. Sardinia. Ask and you shall have. There are both. Emp. That Swiss fat has been well fried. But you and I and England have at different times blown up the coals under it. Buon. My dear Emperor, you've lost your
appetite. Do allow me to send you a slice of Bavaria. Emp. My dear friend, you know I am so fond of that, I cannot refuse. Buon. Here; there's half. Emp. Thank you. Bavaria. You forget your old friend. Buon. I beg your pardon. Prussia will help you to a plate of Guelphs and Cleves. Prussia. But what shall I eat myself? Emp. Help yourself in Hanover, and I'll give you a part of Poland and Silesia. Prussia. But my friend the drowsy Stadholder? Emp. Give him Dusseldorf Pye, or the Duchy of Berg. Buon. Waiter! devil me the wing of Holland on the left of the Maes. Prussia. Our friends, the bulk of the company, the German Princes, grumble much that their best dinner are taken from them. Emp. The Countess! let them wait till Buonaparte, you and myself are satisfied, and then they must divide the crumbs. Take no more notice of them. To sooth them will only make them fancy. Waiter. A gentleman calling himself the Pope wishes to be admitted to say grace. Buon. O! the quick! tell him he shall never keep me waiting with an empty stomach again, while he gabbles till the dinner is cold. Waiter. A gentleman calling himself John Bull sends his compliments, and solicits some Ceylon cinnamon, some Cape corn and Trinidad sweet-meats. Buon. Kick the fellow out! That's the great Carcass Butcher who has dealt so largely in Germany. He is not content with his own roast beef and plum-pudding, but he wants the titbits of my friends Spain and Holland. I'll come presently and drub him into reason. In the mean time Treillard and Bonnier go and turn him out. Buon. Remove the cloth, gentlemen, the Desertion consists of fruit from the Tree of Liberty. ** The words "General Staff" should have been placed at the head of the list of officers in yesterday's Gazette.

FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES. ON THE SAILING OF THE UNITED STATES FRIGATE. The anchor weigh'd, the cannon's roar, Proclaims along the echoing shore, The manly farewell of a crew, To honest independence true: Th' enraptur'd cheers, declare their actions free, Self urg'd, self arm'd, to fight for liberty. No fogs disguise the gather'd cloud; The shouts of joy are heard aloud; No wife her parting lord restrains, To check the foaming tide of blood; "Haste, haste," the cries, "to all the glorious part," "Leave, leave my arms, and reign within my heart." Each sister, as she bids adieu, Crimson with the glowing hue Of honest pride, and loud declares, "The noble toil my brother shares." E'en children catch the all-pervading glow, And prattle vengeance on the insulting foe. The vessel now adown the tide, Moves now in independent pride; While Delaware with honest boast, Presents her to th' insulted coast; There may her cannon to the world decree, Columbia can, and ever will be free. And you ye tars, who foremost stand, Guardians of your injured land, May finding cherubims on high, Guard you with a watchful eye, From rocks and tempests winged castle bear, Nor storms and tempests follow in your rear. We pray not from a mortal foe, The Heavens to turn your chasing prow; Your courage prov'd, our quarrel just, In you we place implicit trust; As if ed you'll reap from every equal fight, Success as glorious as our cause is right.

NOTICE. HAVING observed an advertisement of C. Gullager, in terms derogatory of our professional abilities, we have to request the public not to be imposed upon by foreign artists; but to decide upon the merits of each by a comparison of the work executed by both, as it is a mode almost universally adopted by them to invalidate the talents of established artists, with a view of deceiving the public, and engrossing that business which their professional knowledge in no wise entitles them to. Well knowing that public opinion must govern, we flatter ourselves that the work executed by us will convince them of our great superiority over Mr. Gullager in every branch of portrait and ornamental painting, and show the necessity of judging for themselves. N.B. In future no attention will be paid to the self-flattering advertisements of Mr. G. Any person wishing a supply of FLAGS and DRUMS will please apply to Geo. Rutter and Co. Norris's Court, or Henry Frailey, Germantown. $6w may 8.
Military Colours, At C. GULLAGER'S Portrait and Ornamental Painting Rooms, No. 50, South Fourth, next to Chestnut Street, opposite the Friends' Meeting. PAINTING on silk for Military and other ornamental purposes (in a manner peculiar to himself) durable, not to be injured by the weather, which for elegance of design, truth and beauty of colouring, neatness and masterly execution, has not been equalled by George Rutter and Co. FLAGS and DRUMS Furnished with all possible dispatch, on the most reasonable terms. Ornamental Painting, Signs, Fire Buckets, Cornices, &c. &c. executed in style (not that superb style of modern elegance peculiar to G.R.) but in a workman like manner, peculiar to an artist master of his profession. Mr. GULLAGER, from a number of years experience in Europe and this country, flatters himself that professional talents, punctuality, and reasonable demands, will meet the entire approbation of those gentlemen who will please call at his Painting Rooms. $6w may 5.
NOTICE. P.S. Gentlemen in town and country, wishing for a supply of Colours and Drums, painted in a masterly manner, will no doubt feel themselves obliged for the kind consideration given by George Rutter and Co. not to trust self-flattering advertisements, but examine the work executed by both parties. One view will satisfy them where the superiority lies,—save the spoiling of good silk by George Rutter's pencil—and discover the requisites for the controlling talents of Henry Frailey, at Germantown. may 10.

It is supposed they are gone into Delaware State. Any person that secures said Negro Man in any gaol, that the subscriber shall get him again, shall receive the above reward. ESME BAYLT.
