CAPTURE OF TWO DUTCH FRIGATES.
[London Gazette.]
Sirius Grimsby Roads, Nov. 1, '98. I have the honor to inform your Lordship, in pursuance of orders I received from Vice-Admiral Sir. Richard Onslow, Bart. I joined company with the fleet on the evening of the 3d instant, to reconnoitre the force of the enemy in the Texel. At eight A.M. on the following morning, the Texel being S. by E. ten leagues, I fell in with two Dutch frigates named in the war, at that time about two miles distance from each other.
Passing within gun shot of the leeward-most of them, I stood on until I could (up-stacking) nearly fetch the weather-most (Waakzaamheid), my object being to prevent their junction; and by this means, not being accomplished, I had the satisfaction to cut off the latter, and bring her too about nine o'clock, when the hauled down her colors and fired a gun to leeward; as soon as the prisoners were exchanged, I made sail after the other, and although nearly out of sight, I had the good fortune before five P.M. to bring her to a kind of running action, which continued about half an hour, within musket shot at times, during which she kept up a smart but ill-directed discharge of cannon and musketry, when she struck to his majesty's ship: she is called the Furie, and under the orders of the Captain of the Waakzaamheid, and had the Commandant of the Troops and a number of Officers on board. I am happy to add, there were only one man wounded by a musket-ball, and that his Majesty's ship suffered but little, one shot through her bowsprit: her rigging, &c. have suffered much.
This Expedition has been waiting an opportunity of sailing since the 21st of July last. They left the Texel at eleven o'clock the preceding night.
I have the honor to be, &c.
RICH. KING.
* Waakzaamheid, Captain Neisace, Senior Captain, mounting 26 guns, 24 nine-pounders on the forecastle, having 100 hundred Dutch seamen, and 122 French troops, (total 222) on board, also 2000 stand of arms, besides other ordinance stores.
Furie, Capt. Pietz, of 36 guns, 24 twelve-pounders on the deck, and ten six-pounders on her quarter-deck, and forecastle, with 153 Dutch seamen, and 165 French troops (total 311) on board, also 4000 stand of arms, besides other ordinance stores.
November 10.
A Commercial Treaty with the Emperor of Russia—a Commercial Treaty with the Emperor of Germany—a Commercial Treaty with the King of Prussia—a Commercial Treaty with the Ottoman Porte—a Commercial Treaty with the King of Spain! are all at this moment on the anvil; besides several inferior treaties, such as one with the King of Naples, which, we are told, is actually concluded. By these treaties we expect to have the navigation of every sea opened to our trade; and what the French are endeavouring to accomplish by the revolutionary torrent, we are aiming to obtain by compromise.
On Friday last a committee of Merchants were consulted on various points in these projected conventions, and it is expected that the wide extended plain will be made known soon after the meeting of parliament. By the treaty with the Turks the expectation is formed of securing all the advantages of that short communication with India which Buonaparte's expedition was intended to open to France by force of arms. The Levant trade will be revived, and by the free navigation of the Bosphorus and the Black Sea, we expect to penetrate by the Danube into the heart of Germany.
The treaty with Spain is by no means chimerical. We have good reasons for believing that the ground is opened. Offers have been made too tempting to be refused, and the only difficulty is how to protect Spain from the vengeance of the French on the Pyrenean frontier. It is not impossible that a Russian army may be destined to this service, while the collected wealth of several years, which has been detained in South-America for fear of its falling into the hands of the English on its passage, and of the French on its landing, will be brought home under the convoy of the British Marine.
American Agents have purchased several of our recent prizes; and Government has suffered them to enter our docks for equipment.

NEW-YORK, January 23.
We acknowledge our obligations to two highly respectable houses in this city, for Hamburg papers to the 14th Nov. received by the Franklin arrived yesterday in 56 days from Hamburg. Although we received them at a late hour, we delayed our paper that we might add to it all the important information that our file contained. On a nice inspection we were much disappointed to find that their contents are in general of very little consequence. The following articles appearing to have the first claim of our attention in point of consequence, we have translated them for this day's Mercantile Advertiser.
Vienna, 24th October.
A courier from Constantinople arrived yesterday to the Turkish Ambassador here. It is reported that the dispatches, amongst other things, state the situation of Buonaparte's Army; that it had overpowered several of the Bays: but afterwards in its turn had been completely defeated by them. As the Turkish Envoy has not thought it to publish anything on the subject, we do not think it to place any great reliance on the report. Private letters state that Buonaparte, as well as Berthier, were made prisoners: but these letters also we do not place any reliance on, since the Court Gazette of this day is silent on the subject.
Agreeable to accounts from Constantinople, the Porte has requested from the court of Sweden and another court, to fulfill the stipulations which are specified in the different treaties with those powers.
Since the Maltese had succeeded to get possession of their Islands, there are (agreeable to letters from Naples) arrived several vessels of the nations in amity with France, which have taken possession of the Maltese. It is said that the French commander of Malta has been killed in the last affray; and afterwards, many civil officers, known friends to the French, some have been murdered, and some arrested.
We hear that already some of the old knights of Malta are waiting at Trieste to embark at Malta, to reinstate the old Government, in case the French should have been compelled to quit the Island.
Trieste, October 19th.
Vessels which have lately arrived here from the Adriatic sea, bring accounts that a Russian fleet had arrived in the roads of Zante and Cephalonia, and had taken possession of both these Islands in the name of the Emperor of Russia. There was but a very feeble force in both these places: but the Island of Corfu is well fortified by the French, and is supposed to be able to stand a siege. The confirmation of this account, through an official channel, we are in expectation of.
Paris, Nov. 5.
The Journal Ami des Loix, contains something worthy of observation. It says, that a party who some time ago disputed Buonaparte's talents, but are now in his favor, make no scruple of declaring, that the directory had sent him to Egypt to be sacrificed. The journalist contradicts the report, on account of the director Merlin, having sent his own son with him, and Buonaparte always spoke with the greatest joy of this expedition, called it the grand undertaking, and wished the project to be put into execution.
The crew of the Schooner Biche, which arrived at Brest, say, that the ship of the line Hoche, after the engagement, sunk, and every soul on board perished; likewise that general Bompart was killed in the action. [According to the English news Hoche had arrived on the coast of Ireland.]
A letter from col. Marchais, commander of a battalion gives an account of a very serious affair on the 28th Sept. raged on the coast of Mizza in so violent a manner, that the seventh half Brigade which was on their march to the Army of Italy, on the road to Saorgio, was obliged to make a halt on account of the incredible hail and wind. The rocks in different parts were torn to pieces, and the roads filled with water and broken rocks, in such a manner that the soldiers were obliged to climb thereon to save their lives. Four wagons, loaded with the treasures of the Army, and likewise the baggage of the officers of Brigade, were hurried into the stream by a large ridge of rocks breaking to pieces, and every article lost.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability to his friend in this city, dated Hamburg 26th October, received by the Franklin, arrived yesterday.
"It is very probable that a general peace will take place this winter—on account of the general destruction of the French fleet at Alexandria, the loss of 40 or 50,000 of their best troops, the remainder of their marines, the probability of a war with America, the declaration of war by the Turks, the alliance between Russia and the Emperor of Germany, the general dissatisfaction of the inhabitants of Italy, and the justifiable indignation of the brave Swiss, the general enmity of Europe, the deficiency of 105 millions of livres in the French finances, their total loss of credit, and the refusal of the young men to join the armies; all these circumstances together, induce me to believe, that if they commence another campaign, their fate will be a total overthrow."

The following was this morning Communicated to Congress by the President of the United States.
TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. SIR,
IN reading, since it was printed, my report on French affairs, which you were pleased to lay before Congress on the 21st instant, I have observed an error in the 20th page, which I had to another in the 21st, which it is desirable to have corrected. I regret this incident the more, as the corrections cannot be made without troubling you and Congress with a formal communication.
In page 20, lines 10 and 11 from the bottom, instead of the words in the parenthesis (about the Consular Convention) should have been inserted the words (about the examination of reciprocal damages)
In page 21, beginning in the 21st line, after the word ostensible, the next sentence should run thus:—In the minister's last mentioned letter, after saying that his "second point" (to fix the meaning of the treaties between the two countries) was most important, "as it embraced the source of all the difficulties," and that to this they should first attend—the purposely passes by the most interesting questions which it involves, and lends Mr. Gerry a note on the Consular Convention, of all possible subjects in difference the most insignificant; &c.
I have the honor to be with perfect respect, Sir, your most obedient servant TIMOTHY PICKERING. Department of State, January 23, 1799.
The following resolutions were proposed in the House of Delegates in Virginia, by George K. Taylor.
WHEREAS it appears that the unfriendly conduct of France towards the United States of America, has been encouraged by an opinion entertained by that nation, that there are many of our people so dissatisfied with their own government as to be inclined to submit to the interference of a foreign influence and power, rather than acquiesce under the present state of things; and whereas it seems proper that we, whom the people have chosen to represent them, should on this momentous occasion express our sentiments, and what we conceive to be the sentiments of our constituents:
Resolved, That the government of the United States, established more effectually to preserve union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty, is alone adequate to those all-important purposes, and ought to be maintained and supported by the people of these states, against every attempt to weaken, degrade or destroy it, at the risk of every thing dear and valuable to man.
Resolved, That the measures pursued by the Executive of the United States for preserving peace and friendship with France, and for accommodating the differences which had arisen between America and that nation, have been wise and liberal; and that their failure cannot in the remotest degree be imputed to our government.
Resolved, That the French nation, in the depredations made on our commerce, in the mal-treatment of our unoffending citizens who have fallen into their power while pursuing their peaceful and lawful occupations, in their repeated contumelious and insulting behavior towards our ministers of peace, and in their final rejection of them when it was found that they could not be bent or seduced to a sacrifice of the honor and interest of their country, have violated the laws of nations and the treaties which subsisted between us; and have manifested towards us such an irreconcilable spirit of hostility, as justifies the recourse of our government to those means of defence which a kind heaven has amply placed in our hands.
They were negatived and in lieu of them the following were substituted and carried, ayes 103 noes 58.
Resolved, That the General Assembly of Virginia will co-operate with the authorities of the United States, in maintaining the independence, union, and constitution thereof, against the hostilities or intrigues of all foreign powers whatsoever; and that, although differences of opinion do exist, in relation to internal and domestic measures; yet, a charge that there is a party in this commonwealth, under the influence of any foreign power, is unfounded and calumnious.
Resolved, That the General Assembly do, and will always behold with indignation, depredations on our commerce; insults on our citizens; impressment of our seamen; or any other injuries committed on the people or government of the United States by foreign nations.
Resolved, nevertheless, That our security from invasion, and the force of our militia, render a standing army unnecessary; that the policy of the United States, forbids a wan-
of aggression; that our whole reliance ought to be on ourselves, and therefore, that while we will repel invasion at every hazard, we shall deplore and deprecate the evils of war for any other cause.
And that the question being put that the house do agree with the committee of the whole house in the resolutions as reported, it passed in the affirmative.
REMARKS
On these proceedings of Virginia.
The resolution which denies that there is a party in Virginia under the influence of a foreign power, carries its own condemnation with it in these proceedings.
Why was the resolution rejected declaring that the government of the United States ought to be maintained against every attempt to weaken, degrade or destroy it?
Why was the resolution rejected expressing an approbation of the measures of the United States in regard to France, which have been almost universally approved from one end of the continent to the other?
Why was the resolution rejected charging the French nation with depredating our commerce, mal-treating our citizens, insulting and rejecting our ministers of peace, and pursuing a course of hostilities, that justify the United States in having recourse to those measures of defence which a kind Heaven has amply placed in our hands?
From what motives has the Virginia assembly rejected these resolutions and substituted, that they will co-operate in maintaining the constitution against the intrigues and hostilities of foreign powers only, and not against the intrigues and rebellions of domestic powers or American citizens?
Whence is it that France, her insults, perfidies and aggressions, are passed in silence? Whence is it that the defensive operations of Congress in providing an army is denounced as being unnecessary?
Whence is it, that the General Assembly declares that "they do and will always behold with indignation, depredations on our commerce, insults on our citizens, impressment of our seamen, or any other injuries committed by foreign nations," but that while they repel invasion at any hazard, they still deplore and deprecate the evils of war, for any other cause? Whence to us an odious declaration that they will always behold with indignation, depredations, insults and injuries upon our citizens upon the high seas, without any effort to avert or repel them? Tame, indeed, must be the General Assembly always thus meanly, thus passively, to behold these things without resistance. Such abject submission to France can only reasonably be accounted for by imputing it to the delusion, which certain individuals in that state, under the influence of the French Republic, or from motives of self aggrandizement, practice on the generality of the members who are deceived and misled.
MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.
The committee to whom were referred the resolutions from the Legislature of Virginia, respecting the Alien and Sedition Laws passed at the last session of Congress, Report, that they have the same under their most serious consideration, and after mature deliberation declare it as their decided opinion, that no State Government by a legislative act is competent to declare an act of the Federal Government unconstitutional and void, it being an improper interference with that jurisdiction which is exclusively vested in the Courts of the United States. Independently of the above consideration your Committee viewing the present crisis of affairs, believe it incumbent on them to express their opinion, that a recommendation to repeal the Alien and Sedition Laws would be unwise and impolitic, they therefore submit the propriety of adopting the following resolution:
Resolved, That the General Assembly of Maryland highly disapprove the sentiments and opinions contained in the Resolutions of the Legislature of Virginia, inasmuch as they contain the unwarrantable doctrine, of the competency of a State Government, by a legislative act, to declare an act of the Federal Government unconstitutional and void; and as they contain a request for our co-operation with them in obtaining a repeal of Laws, which at this crisis we believe wise and politic.
On the second reading of the report of the committee on the Resolutions of the Legislature of Virginia, the question was put that the House do concur with the following part of the Report, viz. The committee to whom were referred the Resolutions from the Legislature of Virginia, respecting the Alien and Sedition Laws passed at the last session of Congress, report, that they have had the same under their most serious consideration, and after mature deliberation, declare it as their decided opinion, that no State Government by a legislative act, is competent to declare an act of the Federal Government unconstitutional.
Affirmative 48. Negative 18.
On progression in reading the said report, the question was put, that the house concur with the following part of the said report, viz. "and void"—Resolved in the affirmative.
On further progression in reading the said report, the question was put, that the house concur with the following part of the said report, viz. "Independent of the above consideration, your committee viewing the present crisis of affairs, believe it incumbent on them to express their opinion, that a recommendation to repeal the Alien and Sedition Laws would be unwise and impolitic."
Affirmative 45. Negative 21.
On further progression in reading the said report, the question was put, that the words "and void" be struck out of the resolution therein contained.—Determined in negative.
On further progression in reading the said report, the question was put, that the house assent to the following words in the said resolution, viz. "and as they contain a request for our co-operation with them in ob-
taining a repeal of laws, which at this crisis, we believe, are wise and politic."
Affirmative 41. Negative 24.
The report being read throughout, the question was put, that the house concur with the report, and assent to the resolution therein contained.
Affirmative 42. Negative 25.
So it was resolved in the affirmative.

TO THE
Promoters of Literature.
THE managers of the Beula Seminary, impelled by motives of pure morality, having resolved to dispose of the following property by way of LOTTERY, in order to assist them in erecting a convenient building for the accommodation of one hundred students, and the necessary professors in the different departments of science—do offer for sale three hundred and fifty lots in BEULA, each fifty-eight feet by one hundred and twenty-five, at twenty dollars per ticket, each ticket entitled to a lot to be determined by ballot; ten dollars to be paid on receipt of the ticket, and the remaining ten on the delivery of the deed. The ballot to take place before impartial men, as soon as the whole number of tickets are sold.
The managers, anticipating the difficulty of obtaining cash for the whole, have resolved to receive an equivalent, for some of the lots, in select books; philosophical apparatus, or in produce and materials for building, delivered on the spot.
It may be observed, that the value of prizes in this lottery will be more than double the amount of all the tickets; for 350 lots, would at their average estimation, produce at least 15,750 dollars; whilst, according to the present proposals, the sum obtained for them will be only 7,000 dollars.
Tickets may be had during this winter, of Morgan J. Rees, president of the board of managers, no. 177, South Second-street, Philadelphia; who will receive proposals and plans for the erection of the building. It is intended to be of brick or stone; its situation on the summit of a gradual rising eminence, commanding an extensive prospect of the surrounding country; an observatory to be on its top.

And whereas, it is declared by the said Act, that so much as may be necessary of the surplus of the duties on imports and tonnage beyond the permanent appropriations hereforecharged upon them by law, shall be pledged and appropriated for paying the interest, and also for paying and discharging the principal sum or sums of all the monies which may be borrowed, according to the term or terms which may be fixed, pursuant to the authority aforesaid—And whereas by the said Act, the faith of the United States is pledged to establish sufficient permanent Revenues for making up any deficiency that may hereafter appear in the provisions before-mentioned for paying the interest and principal sums, or either of them, of any monies which may be borrowed pursuant to the said Act. And whereas the President of the United States did by an Act or Commission under his hand dated the ninth day of January in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety nine, authorise and empower, the Secretary of the Treasury, to borrow on behalf of the United States, any sum not exceeding in the whole, five millions of dollars and to make such contract or contracts as should be necessary, and for the interest of the United States, in pursuance of the Act of Congress above recited.
Now therefore, the undersigned, Secretary of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act of Congress, and the authority from the President of the United States, above mentioned, doth hereby on behalf of the United States of America, contract and engage in manner following, to wit:
1st. A book for receiving subscriptions to a Loan of five millions of dollars for the use of the United States shall be opened in the city of Philadelphia, at the Bank of the United States on Thursday the twenty eighth day of February ensuing, which book shall continue open for the purpose of receiving subscriptions, until the whole of the said five millions of dollars shall be subscribed. If more than five millions of dollars shall be subscribed on the first day of opening the said Loan, the surplus shall be deducted in proportion to the sums subscribed by individuals, exceeding four thousand dollars.
2d. For every hundred dollars which may be subscribed there shall be forthwith deposited and paid the sum of twelve dollars and fifty cents, and like payments of twelve dollars and fifty cents, shall be made within the first ten days of the months of April, May, June, July, August, September and October ensuing. The Secretary of the Treasury however reserves the right of reducing the number of installments by special agreement, with the individuals who may become subscribers.
3d. On the failure of payment of any installment of the sums subscribed according to the tenor of the second article, the next preceding installment of twelve dollars and fifty cents, which shall have been paid, for every hundred dollars subscribed shall be forfeited to the United States.
4th. The sums subscribed shall and may be paid to the credit of the United States, at the Bank of the United States, or at the offices of discount and deposit of the said Bank at Boston, New-York, Baltimore, or Charleston, or at either of the Banks of Salem, in Massachusetts, Newport and Providence in Rhode-Island, Hartford in Connecticut, Albany in New-York, or Alexandria in Virginia, for which payments, the receipts of the Cashiers of the Offices of Discount and Deposit and of the Banks aforesaid shall be received at the Bank of the United States as equivalent to money; but no payment of a subsequent installment shall be received at any other place than that where the first installment was paid, except at the Bank of the United States; in case any deposits shall be made at the Offices of Discount or Deposit, or at either of the Banks aforesaid, which shall not be applied to the payment of the first installment of subscription to the Loan aforesaid, the said deposits shall be forthwith refunded by directions from the said Secretary.
5th. The number of shares of one hundred dollars subscribed, certified by the Bank of the United States, shall be the evidence of the debt.
6th. In the event of the death of any person who has subscribed, the said person's heirs or executors, shall be bound to pay the said sum or sums, or so much thereof as shall be due at the time of the said person's death, to the said Secretary, or to the creditors of the said person, who do not appear precluded from the said payment.
Given under my hand, this 10th day of March, 1799.
