BEING busied for some time past in preparation for removing into his present house, has been under the necessity of postponing until this day informing the gentlemen of the Bar generally thro' the United States, that his spring importation of law books is now arranged and ready for sale, on terms that he trusts will entitle him to the like patronage he has experienced for several years past. Catalogues, combining the most varied collection ever imported into this country, are printed and will be delivered on application.

PAPERS.
RELATIVE TO THE CONSPIRACY.
Declaration of Duverne Depresse, or Duinant, annexed to the secret register of the Directory, 11 Ventose, 5th year.
(Concluded from Thursday's Gaz.)
"CITIZENS,
"In order to attain the object proposed, the commandant of different circles shall endeavour to discover the character and opinions of every individual in their canton, which is an easy matter. The revolution has pronounced in the departments the character of every individual in such a manner that every man might boldly judge of the character of his neighbour.
"They shall chuse the most courageous royalists, and form them into companies; the quantity and number of which should be proportioned to the pecuniary means which the agents should be able to dedicate to that service. They shall furnish them with arms and ammunition.
"The companies shall always be ready to assemble, especially during the sitting of the primary assemblies. At this epoch their object shall be to check every party, armed or not armed, which should attempt to oppose the freedom of election; it being always understood that they shall never take up arms first, and never show themselves but under republican colours. They shall have, besides, another object in view, that of forcing by threats or otherwise, the members of the philanthropic institution to attend the primary assemblies.
"The latter and their agents shall endeavour to gain over the leaders of different corps, or even whole corps, and these shall remain with their standards, or encourage and facilitate desertion. They shall keep the deserters in the country, under pretext of employing them in the labours of agriculture, and enrol them only as occasion requires.
"In the provinces where insurrections have existed, the commandants shall spare no pains to preserve and to augment the spirit of royalism. They shall prepare the peasants for a new insurrection, but they shall not excite any commotion, but in consequence of formal orders of superior agents.
"If it should happen that the success of the military preparations should be such as to permit a reasonable hope that an immediate overthrow of the government might be effected, then the mode of proceeding thro' the medium of the primary assemblies shall be abandoned, and the favourable moment shall be seized to arrive directly at the object proposed the pure and simple re-establishment of monarchy. It belongs to the agents to judge in what circumstance it may be advisable. In a word, after the agents at Paris shall deem it certain that the king must speedily be proclaimed either in consequence of the measures to be taken by the councils, in which there was to be a majority of his partisans, or by means of military force, they should instantly send a steady royalist, in order to give him intimation, and to bring a prince of the blood, and that as soon as possible the royalists should have a chief who should silence all jealousy and private ambition.
"In order to prepare and devolve this plan, funds must be necessary, and these could be furnished by England alone.
"M. de Precy, for the use of the agents with which he is entrusted, is authorized to draw upon M. Wickham, the English minister in Switzerland, for the funds which he should judge necessary, with the approbation of M. Wickham.
"And I myself obtained 60,000. ster. for our preparatory expenses. We had the assurance of a sum of 30,000. sterling, which was to have been paid to me the month that the King's proclamation should be issued, on condition that we should not begin to act before the elections;—15,000. sterling for the purchase of white uniforms, in order to furnish the dress of certain corps, payable when a bargain offered at the same time when the king's proclamation should be issued.
"In a word, through our hands were to be transmitted funds, the amount of which was not yet ascertained, in order to be conveyed to M. M. de Puifaye and de Frotte, whose situation demands expenses more considerable than that of our other districts.
"Although the plan was only definitively adopted very lately, although no part of the funds which I obtained, had yet arrived, we must not conclude, however, that this was a mere sketch. All the ancient elements were collected, and our position was as follows:
"M. de Puifaye, who, already in a situation alone to effect a counter revolution, was anxious to declare himself. We had hitherto prevented him. He has since extended his correspondence from Breft, as far as Lavelle. I believe he reckons upon several corps employed in that quarter.
"M. de Frotte was still in London at the period of my departure. But he calculated upon proceeding immediately to Normandy, where he had left the officers who had formerly served under his command. From the letters it would appear that the dispositions of the country were extremely favourable. They demanded the return or their chief. They pressed him earnestly; for the royalists, who were certain of our Canton, conceive that they have only to declare themselves, and the counter revolution will be effected. M. de Frotte is possessed of judgment and talents—he is one of our best chiefs.
"M. de Rochecot, who is entrusted with the task of preparing Le Maine, Le Perche, and Le Pays Chartrain, was lately at Paris. He is a young man, very active, and very intelligent. His military organization consists only of a few hundred men, but this limitation is only because there were not sufficient funds to engage more. He assured us that in his part of the country every body pro-
ceeded beyond the philanthropic institution, in order to become members of the faithful. M. de Rochecot spoke of the correspondence which he had with the corps stationed throughout Le Maine. He had some even at Caen. [There are some things relative to him, which I am unwilling to mention, except verbally.]
"M. de Bourmont has just begun his operations from L'Orient as far as Paris.—In this party there are a great many philanthropes. The royalists are more rare.
"M. Mallet, formerly adjutant major of the Chateau Vieux, was entrusted with the department of Upper Normandy, and the Ile of France to Paris, for all our districts for 50 leagues round form a triangle, of which one angle rests upon Paris. It is completely organized, and will have a plenty of men, provided there be money enough. It is in the best state of preparation for the elections.
"In the Orleans one M. de Juglat is employed. I do not know the situation, in which he stands. I believe, however, he has made considerable progress.
"The coast of Picardy, that of Sennonias and La Brie, are still destitute of chiefs, and of consequence without organization. We expected a M. Buttes, who is announced to us as possessing extensive connections in the first of the provinces.
"We directed our attention to the object of renewing our correspondence in La Vendee. We are assured of success at Haut Poitou. A chevalier de Paller Dupare has commenced our organization. He asserts that he has correspondence even at Rochefort. The duke de Longe was immediately to repair to Bourdeaux from England, in order to organize that country under our direction.
"At Paris there are two companies formed. One of them I believe is under the command of M. de Trenville; I don't know the commandant of the other. Paris, as you may easily imagine, is the focus of our communications. Hitherto we had not attempted any corruption by money. We should now have attempted it, in order to procure accurate information of the funds of government. I have told you that I had in my hands the plan of a descent upon Ireland, or rather the report of Carnot relating to that plan. I know very well how it was procured, but not by whom.—This, however, I could easily learn.
"We consider it as of very great importance to gain the police. We had made very little progress in this object, but you know that we had already made the first advances. Every week we received extracts from the report of the commissioners of the executive power upon the state of opinion in the departments.
"I know not from whence the opinion arose, that the minister of police would not be ill-disposed to serve us; probably because he was considered as moderate, and is incessantly the object of the hostility of the Jacobins.
"We entertained the same sentiments of the minister of the interior, probably for the same reasons.
"But it is the councils where we met with most encouragement. Since the month of June last proposals were made to us in the name of a party which stated itself to be very powerful. We transmitted them to the king. They offered to assist his cause provided there was no other change in the existing constitution than the concentration of the executive power in his person. The king accepted the service, but offered to discuss the condition. He accordingly desired that a person should be sent to him properly authorized. Since that period he has continued to urge this demand; but the party being much more feeble than they had represented, has relaxed in its pretensions without renouncing them entirely. On our side, thinking to be able to restore the throne through the assistance of the two councils, we were of opinion that they should remain masters with regard to the terms to be imposed upon the king, and we did not urge the million. About two months ago a person set out, who, I believe, carried with him a list of the members who are desirous of monarchy, the number of which amounts to 184. Upon this point I will not affirm with confidence. The evening, or the evening before our arrest, a person had come to propose to give the king a list of sixty members more. He pledged himself to obtain a declaration from the son of the duke of Orleans, that he did not, nor ever would pretend to the throne. He engaged, besides to send the young prince to the king, but a number of conditions were required. You will perceive that we had listened attentively to every proposition, that we made ample promises, without incurring however any obligations.
"The importance of which it might be to our cause, to gain the corps connected with the different services at Paris, render this a principal object of our attention. We had some success in our quarter, and we were naturally led to expect still greater progress, since it was in consequence of the steps taken in order to realize this hope that we were arrested. Several of our agents were employed in founding particular administrations. One of them even has told me that ten presidents of municipal administrations were gained over, but it would be improper to rely too much on this observation. The royalists have always deceived themselves with regard to the number of their partisans.
"You are aware that we have paid for more than one pamphlet; that we have given articles for insertion in more than one Journal, and more than once given money to certain Journalists.
"If the reports of a great number of these papers are to be credited, and the notes which we procured from the police, we had a great advantage of expression in our favour: you cannot doubt that with the money which we were about to receive, that we should have been able greatly to extend and develop our means. I here confine the
enumeration; I may have forgot some of them; other facts there are to which I will only speak verbally.
"The agency of M. de Precy is in a very different situation from ours.—Hitherto to his preparations have not been much directed to military affairs, and it is only very lately that he has adopted our political measures. He is at present at Berne, where he very regularly receives the accounts transmitted to him by particular agents; he had connections through the whole of the South. Last year he had great difficulty in restraining the ardour of a party among them, who were very desirous of an insurrection. It is at Lyons where he has most partizans. His great object is to secure some strong town, in order to facilitate the entrance of the army of Conde into France. I am certain there is a correspondence with the people at Besancon; I have never yet had the time to resume my correspondence with them, and I have no means of knowing anything with regard to their situation.
"As far as some names are concerned, you are now as well informed as I am, with regard to the secrets of the conspiracy. In order to overthrow it, I am perfectly convinced that it would be sufficient to publish my letter and the regulations of the two societies. At the perusal of this declaration, you will see all the royalists again sink to the earth, and for this time you may be perfectly tranquil; but it is not enough that they should desist from them for a moment. It is necessary for ever to root the idea from their minds. It is necessary to turn to the advantage of the government the discovery of the present conspiracy, and to re-sign into its hands the threads by which others may be traced. I proceed to develop this last part, and I shall then give my opinion upon the other. Two things must happen—the first, that the royalists who imagine that the government is only in possession of the chiefs of the conspiracy, and nothing at all of its general train, and who at the same time are attached to the principles of moderation upon which our plan is founded, will be desirous to continue it. In consequence, they will propose to the king and the English to send in conjunction one or more new agents to succeed us, and to follow our track, but with still greater precaution. The other thing is, that a Royalist Party, which is convinced that it is impossible to overthrow the Government by any other means than by violence, strengthened by our bad success, will at once present themselves at London and at Blankenburg, and desire to be entrusted with those means which we were about to employ so disadvantageously, promising that by the alliances which they will contract with the Jacobins, those energetic men they will thus throw France back into the system of terror, and from the system of terror to the Throne. That party would be at London, if it were to be rejected at Blankenburg. But it is by no means certain that it would be rejected in that Court, and in that case the English Minister, in order to avoid the appearance of being apprized of the means to be employed, would allow the business to proceed.
"To this long explanation I have just another word to add. There exists a formed Party, which reckons upon the future support of Spain. At the head of this party are M. M. de la Vauguyon and D'Antrigues. I shall give their channels of correspondence with the Interior. This party think that they have on their side the King of Spain, and among other individuals the Marquis de las Casas.

PARIS, Sept. 2.
From the Ami des Lois.
They announce the arrival at Paris, after a six years absence, of the marquis d'Etampes rue Honore, No. 344; of count d'Ecqueville, rue St. Louis au Marais, No. 75; of Count du Guel, Palace Royale, No. 5; of vicomte de Belmaye, rue d'Anjou Honore, No. 112; of the marquis de Perfan, rue des Petit Augustins, No. 25; of Damean, who emigrated in Vendemiaire, rue des St. Peres. Also of the Baron de Govey, Chevalier de Courtin, the marquis de Croix, the comte de Hautefier, le comte d'Hautoy; but as these gentlemen have no fixed place of abode, it is useless to inform their friends of their return.
From the Sentinelle.
Lareveillere Lepaux is President of the Directory—this does not seem to be very agreeable to the anti-directorials.
Citizen Bangard, commander of the squadron in the 21st dragoons, succeeds Malo as commander of that regiment.
The news is spread that the van-guard of the part of the army of Italy destined to pacify the South is already arrived at Nice.
They write from Constantinople that the Pacha of Belgrade, who had marched against the rebels of Romelia, has been attacked and beat by the latter, at the entrance of that province. He left six hundred men on the field of battle. It is said that he retired into a neighbouring town, where he proposes to assemble new troops.
The decree of famine passed some days ago, as we then foretold, to produce its effects. Bread is growing dearer, and several of our departments are threatened with an approaching scarcity.
From the Historien.
There is in France one party, perhaps two, and perhaps even three, who would consider peace as a punishment to them.—At the moment in which it should take place, several invisible agents would be about to kindle the flames of discension.
We had scarcely time to announce some hopes of peace, and to remark some acts of conciliation on the part of the councils and the directory, when immediately new attempts were made to excite them, if possible against one another.
The Redacteur, which, though disfav-
ed as official, is not less under official influence, has dared to resume a threatening and abusive tone against the legislative bodies.
The quarrels and the skirmishes respecting the colour of the collars have recommenced.
A sort of fatality has led the order of the day in the Council of Elders to those delicate questions of which a skilful species of perfidy has been able to mislead the zeal of the armies, whom prudence should seek to enlighten. We have, however, reason to believe, that public order will not be disturbed, and that the constitutional laws will be respected. We could observe, during the last crisis, as during the period which preceded it, that the public opinion was strongly pronounced for the support of the constitution, and that it was adverse to every attack, and even to every appearance of attack on this pledge of its repose. It will even incline towards that party which shall maintain with force and moderation an honourable defence. Beyond this, there is nothing bet error and danger.
From the Journal du Soir.
Frankfort, August 16.
We are informed by the news which reached this place eight days ago, and which has in the interval been often confirmed by private letters as well from Vienna as from Italy, that peace has been signed at Udino by the plenipotentiaries of Austria and France, the respective Couriers are on their road to the Court of Vienna, and the directory at Paris, in order to procure their approbation of this definitive and separate peace, which will only be made public after the necessary ratification of it. By this peace all the Venetian Terra Firma, as far as Oglio, is ceded to the House of Austria, and consequently Mantua, Brescia, &c. The provinces of Limburg and Luxemburg also remain provisionally with the Emperor, and these countries will be restored to him in the first instance. We are even assured, that the city of Maastricht, the country Vroenhaven, and the parts of the countries of Drelhem, Franquemont, and Rolduc, ceded by Holland to the French republic will be in like manner surrendered to his Imperial majesty—these provinces, cities, and countries, will be exchanged for part of Bavaria, in which the fortresses of Ulm and Ingolstadt are situated; and we are even assured that this exchange is already concluded; the elector and his presumptive heir, the Duke de Deux Ponts, having agreed to it and signed it.
AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Aug. 19.
Baron Loe d'Intenraent, member for the states of the country of Limbourg, and and brother-in-law to Count Meerfeldt, plenipotentiary from the Emperor to the Congress at Montebello and Udina, has received intelligence from good authority, that the provinces of Limbourg and Luxemburg are restored to the Emperor by the peace concluded with the French republic.
From a late London paper,
LIBERTY.
How ill qualified the multitude are to govern themselves, to discern the true from the false friend to discover the cheats practised upon their understandings, by those who call themselves their champions, or to offset the dignity of their country, appears but too clearly from the conduct of Buonaparte in Italy, and the submission of millions to be plundered in the name of Liberty—Buonaparte tells the people there that they are the true and only legitimate sovereigns of the countries they inhabit; and all lands hitherto enjoyed by corporate bodies, are their (the people's) property by right of sovereignty; and the foreign inhabitants have an unalienable and imprescriptible right to frame their own government and laws.—But mark how he follows up this declaration of rights—by his own authority, or that of the French Directory, he confiscated to the use of the French Republic several rich Abbies in the territory of Verona, which, according to his own principles, if they were to be found any where but on his lips, are the property of the people, in the midst of whom they are situated, and which he could not appropriate to the use of France, without considering himself of robbery by forcibly taking national lands, from those whom he called and acknowledged to be their rightful owners—the People.—On the other hand, he has stipulated in the Preliminary treaty of peace with Austria that several provinces, cities, and islands, lately belonging to Venice, should pass under the dominion of the Emperor, without any previous consent on the part of the inhabitants either given or asked. Thus, completely disregarding his own boasted declaration of the unalienable and imprescriptible rights of the people to choose their own form of government, he transfers them like Muscovites or Negroes in the West Indies, or settle on a farm, to new masters without designing to consult their inclination on the subject, or indeed any thing but the convenience of the French republic. Will not this serve as a warning to England, and to the rest of Europe, to put any faith in French professions or in French principles, which are calculated only to promote the ambitious views of that restless nation, at the expense of the happiness and tranquility of every one of its neighbours.

NEW-YORK, November 11.
TURKS ISLAND.
We can from the best authority inform the public, that Salt can be purchased at Turks Island lower at present, than has ever been remembered since our division with Great-Britain. The French privateers have interrupted almost every vessel bound there from the Windward Islands, which has reduced the inhabitants to the greatest scarcity both of money and provisions. A more favorable salt season has never been remembered than the present, which, added to the large quantities of last year's crop, kept up by speculator's for a high market, has occasioned this rapid fall in the price. On the 13th of August last, the ship Edward, of Providence, (R. I.) owned by Edward Diller, merchant there, and commanded by John Pattis, arrived with about 400 bushels of corn, a dozen barrels of flour, and 3 or 4 barrels of beef and pork. He carried no cash, and was obliged to sell as much corn at 10 shillings per bushel, as would pay his tonnage duty and fees—the remainder he put up at vendue, payable in salt at the nominal market price, which was eighteen pence—His corn brought thirty shillings per bushel, his flour, beef and pork in proportion, so, with that trifling adventure, he loaded his own ship, and left a surplus of salt behind, sufficient to load two more such vessels, which he will send for on his arrival. Had he carried cash, he might have purchased his cargo at five pence per bushel.
There are four measurers appointed in the island, and the bushel tub measuring 38 wine quarts is stamped by an inspector, so that the usual deficiency on salt cargoes is not much to be apprehended. There is also a new regulation in the boating, which enabled captain Pattis to load his ship in four hours. Americans are treated with the utmost kindness and attention. The island of Grand Key has been lately fortified, since which, the inhabitants have been principally governed by military law.
The number of laws made in France since the commencement of the revolution, is computed to amount to upwards of 16,000! It is said that the expectations of a peace had, in England, got to be very sanguine, before the late change of affairs in Paris. Mr. Boyd, one of the most MONIED men of London, had just before visited Paris on a passport from Carnot; and during a short residence there had become so assured of a speedy peace, as to induce him to purchase in the British funds to an immense amount. By an edict of the king of Spain, the immunity of his coasts has been fixed at 2950 toises. All the ships which shall be taken at a greater distance are to be considered as taken on the high seas. We read in the message from the directory, published in the Redacteur, that the arrears up to the 23rd of September last, amount to about 700 millions.700 millions. If we suppose that the expenses in arrear since that period, amount to a like sum, which appears to be a tolerable accurate calculation, we must conclude that the debt of the state has increased, since the suppression of the assignats, near 1500 millions.
(Tableau de la France et de l'Europe.) It is said to be the intention of the emperor of Russia to open an asylum, when peace shall take place, for all French emigrants, and to grant the chief of them the privileges enjoyed by the Russian nobility.
Handed us by a gentleman for publication. Captain Mat. Berryman, ship Theodore, bound to Havana, was carried into New-Providence; part of her cargo condemned, and will sail in three days from this date on her intended voyage.
MAT. BERRYMAN. New-Providence, Oct. 20.
VIENNA, Aug. 30. The last dispatches received from the marquis de Gallo, were dated from Udina, the 20th of August. They bring advice that the marquis had sent a Courier to General Buonaparte, to inform him of his arrival at Udina; and the general must by this time have met him there. Our court, as may be expected, continues its preparations for war, with the utmost activity; we doubt not, however, that a definitive peace will very shortly be signed at Udina. It is hoped, that such modifications will be adopted, with respect to Mantua, as shall be satisfactory to both parties. Should Austria possess the country on the Banks of the river Adige, the money offered by the Cisalpine republic will enable the Emperor to build strong fortresses along that river; and should Mantua be ceded to France, or the Cisalpine republic, it will, no doubt, be on such conditions as shall be perfectly consistent with the interests of Austria and its new Frontiers. The dispute, however, will now be very shortly determined; and within a few months time, notice will be given to the army of the Hungarian levy, whether farther employment will be found for it, or whether it may return home. As the German troops in Italy have suffered severely by the heat of the country, and the diseases occasioned by it, they are to be recalled, and Croats who are more used to the Climate, sent in their stead.
MILAN, Aug. 21. General Buonaparte has at length set out in the night of the 22nd for Udina, by the way of Palma Nuova. He will likewise take in his way and inspect the frontiers, and the Barromeans islands, in the lake of Milan, or Lago Maggiore. "He is gone," says one of the Gazettes published here, "bearing the olive branch in one hand and the sword in the other. No one now entertains a doubt but that either a definitive peace will be very shortly signed at Udina, or hostilities soon recommence. The pre-
parations for war continue to be carried on both by Buonaparte and the Cisalpine republic, with the utmost vigour. French and Cisalpine troops, with field artillery and ammunition are daily marching to Palma Nuova, Trevigo, and Verona; while artillery and military stores are continually on their way to Mantua from Genoa, Nice and other places on that side. It is likewise expected should hostilities again take place that the French will be joined by 20,000 Piedmontese troops.
LONDON, Sept. 14. A letter from an officer on board admiral Duncan's fleet, dated the 27th ult. says, "The transports belonging to the Dutch armament in the Texel, all went up, (we suppose to Amsterdam) last week; for on the morning of the 23rd we could not see the hulls of the men of war, thirty three in number, from our quarter deck, at which time there was not a merchant ship or transport in the Texel, but a squadron of four frigates and three brigs were in the outer road, attempting to make what we call a smart. On our approach they all turned in again. We are now stationed off the Vlie, a few leagues north east of the Texel, from which we conclude that the admiral suspects the Dutch fleet, on the event of getting out, mean to steer for the Elbe. The moment the wind veers to the eastward, we push for the Texel, and anchor before it; when the wind freshens from the westward, we weigh and stand off eight or ten leagues, always leaving light cruisers in view, who are to return, and report to the admiral at stated periods, or whenever they discover any movements amongst the enemy.

B. commander in chief of the channel fleet, to Evan Nepean, esq. secretary of the admiralty, dated on board his majesty's ship Royal George, at Torbay, the 13th Sept. 1797.

La Pomone, at Sea, August 12, 1797. My Lord, I beg leave to inform your Lordship, that on the morning of the 11th instant, a convoy of the enemy, with a ship Corvette, a brig and schooner gun boats, two armed luggers, several Chasse Marées and brigs, were discovered standing to sea, out of the Pertuis de Breton, from Rochfort. I attempted to cut them off or destroy them with La Pomone and Jason, who attacked a fort, in order to cover the Sylph, who was anchored near the two corvettes, having left the Triton in chase to windward; the enemy, perceiving our intention, anchored at the entrance of the river of Sable d'Olonne, close under the fort, the ship Corvette and gun boat with springs upon their cables.
At eleven, being near enough, the firing commenced and continued for an hour, when the gun-boat shipped her cables to run on shore, but sunk before she got into the river, near the small vessels, and the Corvette remained fast aground, but deserted by her people and much damaged. As I did not think it possible to set her on fire with the boats of the squadron, there being little wind, and the tide of flood setting us upon the coast, we hauled our wind to the southward.
I have the satisfaction of acquainting your lordship, that it has occasioned a delay for some time of the enemy's supplies arriving at Brest, as one of the vessels is destroyed, and it is doubtful if the other can be repaired so as to be of any use in future. The ships of the squadron have sustained very trifling damages. A return of the killed and wounded in each ship is inclosed.
I have only to lament, that a more favorable moment did not present itself to afford the officers and men an opportunity of distinguishing themselves: but the enemy must have suffered considerably on board the vessels and in the fort, from the number of shot that struck them. Some hot shot were fired from a battery of five guns, which set fire to the Sylph, but any ill effects were prevented by the exertions of the officers and men of that vessel,
who cut them out, and behaved otherwise with much spirit and zeal.
I have the honour to remain, My Lord, Your lordship's most obedient humble serv. Signed, JOHN WARREN. P.S. Since I began this letter, not having an opportunity of sending it to your lordship, I have received information from three vessels who had left Sable d'Olonne subsequent to the above affair, and the following is the result of their reports: "The ship Corvette is in the harbor, but so damaged as to be unfit for service. "The gun boat remains sunk and destroyed. "The enemy lost several killed and wounded in the two vessels. "In the fort five soldiers were killed and two guns dismounted, and some wounded; two or three houses much shattered." "We were off Sable d'Olonne on the 26th, and saw the ship in the harbor. An account of the killed and wounded on board the ships of his majesty's squadron under the orders of commodore sir John Borlase Warren, K. B. on the 11 of Aug. 1797. La Pomone, 1 seaman killed, 2 wounded, 1 marine wounded. Jason, none killed or wounded. Sylph, 1 petty officer, 1 seaman killed, 4 seamen wounded. (Signed) JOHN WARREN. Right hon. Lord Bridport, K. B. &c. &c. &c."
Extract of another letter from commodore sir John E. Warren, K. B. to the right hon lord Bridport, dated on board the Pomone at sea, the 23rd of August, 1797. I beg leave to inform your lordship, that on the 23rd inst. I chased and drove upon the coast of St. Nazaire, L'Egalite armed Chasse Maree, of 6 four pounders and 8 swivels, and which we afterwards got off.
La Pomone, at Sea, Sept. 6, '97. My Lord, I beg leave to inform your Lordship, that I continued steering for the Mouth of the Garonne, and on the 27th ult. being to the southward of the river, a number of vessels were seen in the fourth river quarter, I made the signal for a general chase, and continued until night, when, from the Triton being far advanced ahead, and the Jason to windward, the ships kept the enemy in sight after the approach of night. Owing to the exertions of Captains Gore and Stirling, five of them were captured. At two A. M. being near the above, a cutter was seen at anchor, that had accompanied the convoy, and one of the boats of this ship was sent to her; but being ordered to keep off, and seeing she was a vessel of force, returned. I fired in after her, and upon our firing a few shot, one of which cut away her main, she split her cable & ran among the breakers upon the coast of Arcafon, and into a most tremendous surf that broke on board her, and must have stove her to pieces. She at last drove through, and as the tide let her she fell over; the remainder of her men about 90 in number, got on shore: She was called Le Petit Diable, a very fine vessel, pierced for 18 or 20 guns, and 100 men complement. The prizes were laden with ship timber, rosin and tar, and were intended to fit out privateers from the enemy's principal ports upon the Coast. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) JOHN WARREN. Right hon. Lord Bridport, K. B. &c. &c. &c.
NORFOLK, November 7. Capture of the ship PRESIDENT of Baltimore. Yesterday arrived in Hampton Roads the brig Hope, capt. Rindge from St. Bartholomew, bound to Portland. On Monday last, in lat. 34. 30, long. 70, fell in with the French privateer brig Triumphant, of eight 6's and two 18 pounders, and 130 men; the privateer forcibly put on board her 13 persons (being the passengers of the ship President, and the crew of the British brig Mary, from Jamaica to London) without allowing him any provisions to support them. From the passengers of the ship President we learn, that they sailed from Liverpool, for Baltimore, on the 28th August, in company with the ships Industry, Vickery, and Virginia, Davis, for Norfolk; that off the coast of Ireland they sprung a leak and put into Londonderry to refit, from whence they failed the 4th September, that on the morning of their departure one of the passengers read in the London Evening Courier of the 29th August, the accounts of Peace between England and France, which are not official or full particulars, but the remarks of the Editors of four Paris papers; that on Saturday the 20th September, in lat. 35° long. 71, they fell in with the above privateer, who captured them, and after taking out the passengers and some of the crew ordered her for Porto Rico. The passengers were plundered of their money and various articles; the prize master put on board the President informed that they had some days before spoke a vessel from Bourdeaux that left there the 15th September, who said, that there were no accounts of peace between England and France received at Bourdeaux when they left it.

PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13.
CONGRESS.
Nine members of the Senate, and thirty-nine of the House of Representatives assembled in their respective Chambers this day. There not being a quorum of either House, they adjourned till to-morrow.
Extract of a letter from the Isle of Wight, 21st September, 1797. (Received by the ship Argus, arrived at New-York on Saturday last.)
"All chance of peace is for the present entirely removed, Lord Malmbury having arrived in London, yesterday forenoon. He was ordered to quit France in 48 hours, as he had not authority immediately to accede to their proposals for peace. The war must continue another campaign—money will of course be more scarce than ever, and the public funds depressed—That had its effect yesterday—3 per cts. were under £.48 per cent."
A gentleman who came passenger in the Neptune from St. Ubes, informs, that it was understood at the time the ship failed, October 3, that lord Malmbury had not left Lisle.
We are informed that the act laying duties on stamped vellum, parchment and paper, will not go into operation on the last day of December next, as the necessary arrangements preparatory thereto, will not then be completed.
MR. VENNO. IF the assertion that the friars in royalty in France, have occasioned the late revolution in favor of the triumvirate, be true, there can be little doubt of their having acted by a finesse. Perhaps the surest game of the royalists was to persuade the executive, by a breach of the constitution, to remove as many as possible of the most powerful republicans, in point of talents, from their seats in the legislature; for while such men as Pichegru, Barthelemy, Carnot, Boissy D'Anglas, &c. &c. enjoyed the public confidence, the republican constitution of the 3d year was safe. But whether the triumvirate have, like Othello, been the dupes of secret enemies in their late libertine measures, or not, time only can shew. Nor is it important which, if the event must be the same in either case. The moment the people and the army awake from their transient dream, it is most likely they will, one and all, sigh for a permanent government, which shall rid them of a faction of demagogues who sport with the public freedom and happiness! MERLIN.

Ship Birmingham packet, Kelly, failed for this port the day before captain Hodgson—Left no vessels belonging here. Brigs Liberty, Lillibridge, and Friendship, Gallagher, are at the fort—the former from the Havana, the latter from Jamaica. Sch. Minerva, Moody, was to sail in 9 days for this port. Ship Henrietta, Weeks, of this port, for St. Thomas, and Sch. Expedition, Ornes, of N. York, Curacao, were at Laguira, when Sch. Poll failed. Barque Mars, Fowler, failed 5 days before the Neptune from St. Ubes for this port.
At Liverpool for this port September 13, ship Diana, Pile, to sail in 2 weeks. Brig Diamond, Eastburn Diana, Kirkbride.
The ship Thomas Chalkley, Clark, failed from Surinam for this port the 14th September. On the 19th was taken by a British privateer and conducted to Barbadoes; previous however to entering the harbor, the captain of the privateer set on shore to enquire if the vessel could be condemned there; Capt. Clark at the same time wrote on shore to his own friends, who represented the case to the governor, and were given to bring both vessels too. After a number of shot being fired, the ship came too under the protection of the fort, and the privateer stood out to sea, but returned in the night, cut the ship from her moorings, and carried her to Martinico. The governor of Barbadoes immediately forwarded an account of the transaction to the owner of the privateer at Martinico, who directed the Thomas Chalkley to be released, and obliged the captain of the privateer to make good the loss sustained in consequence of his proceedings. Capt. Clark at the same time expected to sail with a convoy about the 20th ult.
Captain Carhart left at LeGuire the 18th ult. the brig Pennsylvania, Tatem, of this port, to sail next day.

SHIP ASIA.
Nassau, (N. P.) October 6. On Tuesday last his worship the judge of the court of vice admiralty pronounced his decree, in the case of the American East India, ship Asia, recaptured from the French by the Ranger private vessel of war, of this port, captain Edward, Shearman who libelled the prize as French property.
His worship observed, that he considered the order of the French directory to their cruisers as highly arbitrary, contrary to the law of nations and all good faith, and captures made under its, little better than piracy; that in the present case, there had not been that firm possession necessary to divest the right of the original owners; and therefore he adjudged ship and cargo to be restored as neutral property, upon payment of one sixth part of the value thereof. This he said, is the salvage to which the recaptor would be entitled if the property had been British; and in his opinion, the least that ought to be paid by neutrals.
It appears that his worship the judge adopted the provisions of the prize act, as the rule of his decision.
The proctor for the captors protested against the sentence, and gave notice of intention to appeal therefrom.

THE public are requested to take notice, that the partnership which has for some time subsisted between Mathias Slough of Lancaster, and William Geer, is now dissolved; but not as M. Slough intimates to the public without just cause; as will more fully appear by a letter on the subject from M. Slough to W. Geer, dated the 29th December last, a recital of which is not deemed necessary. Any gentleman who wishes to be more circumstantially informed of the merits of this business, by applying to W. Geer may have the perusal of M. Slough's letter, and then can be at full liberty to determine whether or not W. Geer is not perfectly justifiable in attaching himself to any other person in the prosecution of the Stage conveyance from Philadelphia to Shippensburg, or any other place. Now from the liberal and generous support the public were pleased to confer on the first effort in this business, William Geer, in conjunction with Messrs. Reily, Weed and Wimer, is determined to prosecute and carry it on, with every care, attention and dispatch that a zeal to oblige the public can possibly exert. The above company, who are amply provided with carriages, horses, and every appurtenance to render the passage safe and commodious, inform those who wish to patronize and encourage the undertaking, that they can take their seats at George Weed's, the sign of the White Horse, Market Street, Philadelphia, on every Monday and Friday, to proceed to Lancaster, Harrisburg, Carlisle and Shippensburg. The fare as hitherto established. For the further accommodation of the public, a Stage will start every Wednesday from the house of Samuel Elder, in Harrisburg, arrive at Sunbury in Northumberland county, every Thursday, and return from thence and arrive at Harrisburg every Saturday, so that passengers destined for Lancaster or Philadelphia, may proceed on Mondays. WILLIAM GEER. Lancaster, Jan. 27, 1797. N. B. This Line of Stages starts from the house of William Ferris, in Lancaster, on every Tuesday and Saturday morning at 6 o'clock, proceeding to the westward; and from the house of Mr. Samuel Elder in Harrisburg every Wednesday morning, on the same evening arrives at Patrick Cochran's in Shippensburg, and returns from thence on every Thursday; performing the same routine daily as in its tour from Philadelphia. mwf

This Day Published, And to be sold by WILLIAM YOUNG, corner of Second and Chestnut streets, Price 3/6th of a Dollar, Observations on certain Documents Contained in No. V and VI of "The History of the United States for the year 1796," In which the CHARGE of SPECULATION against ALEXANDER HAMILTON, Late SECRETARY of the TREASURY, is FULLY REFUTED. WRITTEN BY HIMSELF. This publication presents a concise statement of the facts as presented by the Jacobins of the United States to asperse the character of those persons who are considered as hostile to their organizing schemes. It also contains the correspondence between Mr. Hamilton and Messrs. Monroe, Muhlenthal and Venable, on the subject of the documents aforesaid, and a series of letters from James Reynolds and his wife to Mr. Hamilton, proving the absurdity of a doubt, that the connection between him and Reynolds, was the result of a daring conspiracy on the part of the latter and his associates to extort money. A discount of one third from the retail price will be made in favor of wholesale purchasers, for cash. Orders to be addressed to Mr. Young. August 25.

MAIL STAGE. THE Proprietors beg leave to inform the public, that they have established a Stage between Philadelphia, Allentown, Bath, Hampton, Speedwell, and Martin's Furnace, Wading River, Reading, and the town of Tuckerton, in New-Jersey, to go once a week, and are provided with good horses, a comfortable carriage, and a careful driver, for the conveyance of the mail, passengers, and goods. The Stage will start every Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, A. M. from Mr. Daniel Cooper's Ferry, and lodge that night at Joel Bodine's, at Longacoming; and on on Friday, at 6 o'clock, P. M. arrive at Caleb Evans's, in Tuckerton, distant from the city 54 miles, (from the Atlantic 6, and from the East Grosvenor Plains 7 miles) where are good accommodations for travellers, and where are commodious and safe passage boats provided to convey passengers to Capt. William Warrington's house, on Tucker's Island, adjoining the Atlantic, where are good accommodations, and a convenient place to bathe; the sportsman who wishes to regale himself with fowling and fishing, may at this place be highly gratified, there being at almost every season of the year fowl and fish in abundance.—The Stage on its return, starts from the aforesaid C. Evans's in Tuckerton, every Tuesday, at 6 o'clock, A. M. breakfast at Joel Bodine's, at Wading River Bridge, lodge that night at Longacoming, and at 1 o'clock, P. M. on Wednesday, arrive at the aforesaid Cooper's Ferry. It is presumed that no route of an equal distance will be less expensive, or furnish the traveller with a greater variety of amusement, as he will not only have a pleasant sail to the Atlantic from Tuckerton, but have the curiosity of seeing on the road thither a number of capital farms and forges, and one shining mill, in complete order, and at work; gentlemen, too, who are owners, or factors, of any of the aforesaid iron works, are solicited to encourage and support this Stage by which they can be so well accommodated the continuance of which will much depend on their aid. The rates of passengers and baggage are as follows: For a passenger from the aforesaid Daniel Cooper's Ferry to Tuckerton, including 14 lb. of baggage, Two Dollars; for every passenger per mile, Four Cents—450 lb. of baggage equal to a passenger. Passage of letters, newspapers, &c. will be agreeable to law. N. B. The mail crosses from the Old Ferry. THOMAS WARDLE & Co. Tuckerton, Sept. 28. Oct. 5. 2awtf
The Norfolk Mail STAGE. THIS Stage starts from the GEORGE Tavern, at the corner of Second and Arch Streets, in Philadelphia, every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, at 3 o'clock, in the morning; arrives at Dover the first day, at Snowhill the second day, at Northampton Court House the third day, and on the morning of the fourth day the passengers find a safe and comfortable packet to convey them to Norfolk. A packet leaves Norfolk for Northampton ferry, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, and the Stage starts from this ferry for Philadelphia, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday; puts up at Snow Hill the first night, at Dover the 2d night, and arrives in Philadelphia in the evening of the third day. The distance on this route, between Philadelphia and Norfolk, is 80 miles less than on any Stage route between those places. Too much cannot be said in favor of the road, which is most excellent indeed. The Proprietors willingly engage to return the whole fare to any passenger, who, after having performed this route, will say that he ever travelled in a Stage for the same distance, so good a road in America.
