The Gazette. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 19.
The pilot of the sloop Mentor informs that the French privateer which captured the Asiu , was seen cruising off Phoenix-Id- and, on Thursday last.
A gentleman who arrived in this city on Monday evening in the ship Fame from Malaga, and who had been put on board her from the London Packet , from Liver- pool, bound to Baltimore, on the 7th inst. informing, that the ship failed from Liverpool the 19th of May—that at that time the mutiny in the fleet was said to have subsided, and that the situation of Ireland continues to be the same as our last accounts state.
Letter from capt. Farrady , of the ship Ca- tharine of this port, to his owner, dated Bay Mahaut, Guadalupe, June 11, '97. "I am sorry to inform you I had the mis- fortune of being captured by the Sloop of War L'Egalite , Captain Roussau , which was fitted in Newport about 5 months ago. 20 taken on the 4th of June, in lat. 14. 20, long. 56, West. They took Mr. Col- lins and three of the people on board of the sloop of war, and sent four soldiers, a prize master, a midshipman and five sailors, and run for this place, where we arrived on the 10th inst.
After our arrival I was ordered not to leave the vessel without leave. The prize master went on shore, and returned in half an hour, and ordered me into the boat, and told me to go to the commissary, who ex- amined me very closely. He informed me I should lose my vessel and cargo, and that I might expect nothing else, and that I might be very happy if I did not go to Point Petre. I then asked permission to go to Point Petre, and on my arrival there I met two captains from Cape Ann, near Boston; I made my case known to them, they im- mediately turned round and left me on the wharf. I was then in very great distress, having no money nor any place to get a din- ner. I flopped there for about ten minutes and saw a boat coming on shore, which I thought looked like Americans; they pro- ved to be capt. Fitzpatrick of New-York, and capt. Lawson of Philadelphia, super- cargo of a Danish brig. Upon making my case known to them, capt. F. told me he was in the same situation with regard to capture, but that he had some money to as- sist himself, or he should have been in a poor situation; for he had been here a month, and had done nothing. He generously told me that I should not want as long as he could assist me. Mr. Conlant (the only friend to America here) told me he was very sorry for me, and that he would assist me as much as lay in his power; but that I need not expect to save my vessel.
P. S. They unrigged the ship the se- cond day after her arrival, and compelled the hands to assist them in doing it. They take vessels bound here within a mile of the harbour, steering right in for the place: So I think we are in a fine state at present! It makes no difference where you are bound; for if you are found in the latitude of any of those Islands which are mentioned in the Proclamation, that is e- nough to condemn you."

For the Gazette of the UNITED STATES: To the Cavalier Yrujo , Minister of Spain. UNDER an expectation that you would have lost no time in disavowing the doctrine of your partisan " YERUS ," as published in the Gazette of the U. S. on the 17th inst. I have delayed to address you.— But, as your silence supposes your assent to the very extraordinary opinion uttered by that writer, a short answer to that opinion becomes necessary, and considering that you are a volunteer in newspaper polemics, you cannot object to the frankness with which I shall express myself.
By the reasoning which you have adopted on this occasion, and upon which indeed you have practised, it is contended that "whenever the President of the United States shall submit any representation, which he may have received from the head of a department, to the legislature of the United States, and Congress shall see proper to di- rect a publication of such document for the information of their constituents, it shall be allowed for any foreign minister, resident with the United States, who may consider such representation as affecting the interests of his court, to address himself, through the medium of a newspaper, to the people of the United States, and to animadvert, in all the asperity of indecent language, on the proceedings of the American government."
In what confusion or imbecility of diplo- matic construction, such an idea originated, I pretend not to say—but I will assert with confidence that, unless Mr. Yrujo is charged with instructions of a most nefarious nature, his business is with the government, and not with the people of the United States.
AMERICANUS. COMMUNICATIONS. The faction, in their cups, say they do not acknowledge JOHN ADAMS as President of the United States. This has been known for some time; but it was not supposed that they had temerity enough to do it publicly, even at a drinking Bout. The late "feast of reason" however so far deprived them of reason, that one of the toasts plainly implies the sentiment, " The United States and their President "—Whether the Chevalier Yarico is in the secret or not, I will not pre- tend to say; but his philippic against the government, is as out a performance as if no such officer as President existed.— Some people do not scruple to say, that the faction have taken the Chevalier under their guardianship and direction; and, as Mr. Adams ought to have lost two votes where he had only one—he is not, what the people call him, President of the United States. When the Chevalier Yarico therefore pub- lishes a second edition of his letter, the error of alluding to such a perfonage will be ex- punged. How charmingly the French pre- sides these things in Spain now-a-days!
One of those truly respectable personages who have found refuge in this country from the perils they were in for attempting to counterfeit a constitution and palm it on the people, has been graciously pleased to offer a model of his own clumsy casting in lieu of the constitution of the United States. The people of France having adopted a form of government with five heads, this fabricator of forms proposes that the United States should have five PRESIDENTS. The consistency of these state tinkers is truly laughable—they are continually railing a- gainst the expense of supporting the govern- ment of the United States; and here, in one essential article, they propose increasing it five-fold. Perhaps, however, as the busi- ness of pamphlet making affords but a starv- ing pittance, they would propose dividing the present salary into five parts, and for one fifth even of a fifth there might be found among this worthy fraternity men who would cheerfully undertake the task of gov- erning the United States. A creature of this lamp offered to serve as governor of a state for 200 dollars—and declared it was more money than he ever saw at once in his life.
The faction say in their vehicle, the Au- ror of Saturday last—"Deplorable indeed would be our situation if John Adams could give effect to his assertion, for we should not only be the slavish tools of a British ministry, but we should be fleeced of the effects of our hard earnings to satisfy the rapacity of the anglo American harpies, and to realize the mad and wicked projects of the admin- istration." Which may be thus parodied: Deplorable indeed would be our situation, if the faction could give effect to their asser- tion [That the people are opposed to the government]—for we should not only be the slaves of a foreign power, but we should be fleeced of our hard earnings to satisfy the rapacity, not only of foreign mercenaries, but of the Gallo American Harpies, who are now waiting and longing, panting and gasping for the property of every man of industry in the United States. To realize the mad and wicked projects of this fac- tion, the public debt of the United States has been augmented millions, and they have brought the country to the verge of a foreign war. The southern states are threatened with the scenes of St. Domingo , and the eastern with the horrors of bankruptcy from the loss of their commerce.
Some fly fellow (a wicked concealed a- ristocrat, no doubt) has put a trick upon poor Bacbe , by prevailing on him to insert the following keen ironical satire on his own absurd and ridiculous doctrines.
"Mr. Washington would probably have been re-elected if he had stood a candidate; but it is without a doubt that his election would not have been unanimous, and this most probably was the cause of his resignation.— His British treaty has capped the climax of the British measures of his administration, and opened the eyes of many of his former admirers."
"The assertion that there is no discord- ance between the political views and wishes of the Government and those of the people, is completely groundless. The event of the election for President proved it. John Ad- ams had 71 votes, Thomas Jefferson , 68. If the election in this state had been fair- ly conducted, John Adams would have had two less, and Thomas Jefferson , one more, and had it not been for a mere accident in Maryland, one vote which was given for Adams would have been thrown in Jeff- erson's scale, and the latter would have been chosen. When it is further remarked, that all the prejudiced influence of Washington's name, and all the efforts of his creatures o- perated in favor of Adams , who can doubt but that the pure voice of the people was un- equivocally in favor of this republican rival, and consequently against those measures of the present administration which have indul- ged such a partiality for Britain, as is likely to involve us in all the horrors of a war with France."
"This humorous writer who has so happily bit off the Jacobin jaws, is here mistaken:— Mr. Adams had but one vote in Pennsylva- nia ; although the people of the State had de- cided by a very considerable majority to give fifteen votes for him as President; but those two honest men, T. Mifflin and A. J. D. decided otherwise."
ECONOMICKS. HINTS ON THE MANUFACTURE OF CYDER. APPLES should be gathered when full ripe, and will quit the tree by gentle shak- ing; if gathered before ripe, the cyder will be rough and hard, and seldom pleasant or good flavoured. Lay them on the ground in a fruit yard, better if upon a gravel wall, as the wet will run from them, and they will lie dry in the bottom; should not lie thicker than ten or twelve inches, and are better kept without than within doors. Care should be taken to place fruits of equal ripeness and good qualities by themselves; for if of different ripeness, the cyder will be apt to ferment too much, will cause it to grow hard, and never be rich, full, and fine favoured.
When the fruit is thoroughly mellow, it must be committed to the mill for the pur- pose of cyder making, made with a stone chase and roller, something similar to a bark or a sugar mill. The roller drawn round the chase by a horse. Hire it should be ground to a pulp, that no bit of apple may be seen, and until you cannot hold it in your hand, if you take a handful and squeeze it; the kernels and rind will be well broken, and will give the liquor a fine flavour. Let it be put into tubs or hogsheads with one head out, and remain there two days; then press it through haircloths. I use fourteen, or fifteen, putting about two pails full in each, turning up the sides and corners; then put another on until the whole are filled, then press it with a screw; put the juice into hogsheads; after it has been there a few days it will work and throw up a thick sub- flance the bung hole, somewhat like barm, but of a darker colour; when this appears it generally is dropt fine, and should be im- mediately racked into a clean cask; for, if the substance be suffered to fall, the grounds from the bottom will rise, and the whole will be in a ferment and very foul, and perhaps must be racked three or four times before it can again be separated and got fine; and will run a risque of making the cyder harsh. So long as it remains fine and free from fer- menting, it may remain in the cask; but if it ferment much it should be racked, and the grounds or lees taking from it; it often re- quires four or five rackings. Cyder made with different sorts of apples keep best by breaking and mixing together; but this should not be done until it is fine, when the proprietor may blend it to his palate. Af- ter the whole is done, a bung may be placed over the bung hole, but should not be close stopt until February or March, when it be fit for sale or use.
If cyder do not fine, some people glass. For one hogshead of a hundred gallons, beat about one ounce and a half a pull it to pieces; add to it about two of liquor, and whilst it is repeat this be dissolved, and beaten fine. Rub foil liquor, throw in the dissolved fir it together with a flick. A drops fine, rack it off into a clean Cyder should not be bottled or eighteen months, after it is would endanger the breaking the

STATE OF IRELAND. IRISH PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.
Wednesday, May 11.
REPORT OF THE SECRET COMMITTEE.
The report having been read Mr. Pelham said it would be unnecessary at present for him to trouble the house with many observations, because as a committee of the Lords were sitting on the same subject, the only step which ought now to be taken was to send the report to them. He could not however, help observing that what had now transpired must convince every man that it was not legalising which should be resorted to, to repress this daring and dark conspiracy, but to those strong measures which the executive government had already adopted, with the approbation of the house. This report justified to the fullest extent those measures—and at the same time called on the gentlemen of the house—and on a very loyal subject to strain every nerve to put down this society: Nor did he think, formidable as they might appear, that there was any reason to fear that the loyalty of the country and the force of the State, would not be fully sufficient to crush them: their numbers it was reasonable to believe, had been greatly exaggerated in these papers, as it was plain that they tried every mode to keep up the spirits of their deluded followers, as well by fallacious statements of their force, as by the expectation of foreign assistance. For his own part he believed the great body of the people were loyal—and he would be proud to exert every power he possessed in opposing this band of daring traitors; but he hoped that the publication of this report would open their eyes and shew them the danger and the crimes into which they were hastening. He hoped this report would open the eyes of other persons also. No man in the house, he was sure, would deny that parliamentary reform and Catholic emancipation were fair questions for discussion, either in or out of parliament—but he was confident that when it was known that these were only made pretences for introducing confiscation, murder and a republic—they would be less zealous in urging these questions at such a time. He concluded by moving that this report be communicated to the Committee of the Lords, and that it be printed—Ordered.
Mr. Pelham, without preface brought up the report of the secret committee appointed to consider of the papers seized in Belfast, and to report their opinion thereon. This report, which consists of sixty nine folio pages, was read at full length by the clerk; we must content ourselves at this time with giving a summary of its contents.
The committee began by stating, that they considered it to be essential to a proper discharge of the duty imposed on them, not to confine their enquiries to the specific papers submitted to their consideration but to go back to examine into the principles and motives of the society of the United Irishmen at its first formation, they assert, that in consequence of this examination, they find the society, under the pretext of promoting a parliamentary reform and what they call Catholic emancipation of the Catholics, harbour a design to disunite this country from Great Britain, to overthrow the government of the country, and establish in its room a form of government which they call a republic. This opinion is expressed in a letter written by one of the members of the society to a fellow member in Belfast.
raise money in certain proportions, and to distribute it in certain ways, such as providing arms and ammunition; supplying the members who suffer for the cause by imprisonment or otherwise, with necessaries, and with the means of defence; providing for the wives and families of those who may fall in the field or any other way for the common service; they are enabled to regulate the election of military officers, and, in a word, some branch or other of this organized body is to regulate every thing which relates to the military, the financial or the judicial department. With respect to the last, there is a particular provision which fixes the manner in which the tribunal shall be chosen, who, when a revolution begins, shall decide on the property and even the lives of accused individuals; and there is another provision which declares what description of suspected persons shall not be suffered to enter the ranks when the conflict shall begin. This paper contains also the oath and test which is to be taken by the private members and by the committee-men, by the secretaries, treasurers, &c. that of the privates in little more than a promise "to promote as far as in him lies a brotherhood and union among Irishmen—and that he will not through hope or fear, or any other motive, give evidence against any of his brethren, or betray any expressions which he may hear at the meeting of the society." The other papers which the committee have copied into their report, are minutes of the proceedings of sub-committees of United Irishmen; and reports on a variety of subjects. They contain in the first place accurate returns of the numbers of men who have at different periods become members of the body, specifying the precise number in the particular counties, towns, and districts; they contain also returns equally minute of the sums subscribed by each respective place, and the manner and purposes for which the money has been expended. The returns of guns, bayonets, swords, spades, cannon, powder in barrels, and in weight, of ball cartridges, of bullets, &c. &c. are all reported with equal accuracy, and always accompanying the returns of the men and money.
By these returns it appears, that the society, within a short time, and from beginnings comparatively small, has arisen to a number truly formidable—not less at this moment than one hundred thousand men! The amount of their arms, though far from being commensurate to their numbers, appears to be very considerable, and they reckon among their ordnance eight pieces of cannon and one mortar. In their money accounts are found accurate statements of their expenditures for assisting prisoners, purchasing arms, &c. and in one return it is remarkable that the officer who remits it says, "this money has been paid somewhat before the usual time, because it is expected our friends will soon arrive at Bantry," or words to that effect—and several instances occur in the papers of allusions to the expected arrival of these friends. In some papers the committee earnestly exhort their people to temperance, to sobriety, to peace, observing that the wish of government was to goad them into insurrection, by which means only now, but the cause of the society would be lost.
By this day's Mail.
NEW YORK, July 18.
By the politeness of a gentleman, who came passenger in the Franklin from Bourdeaux, arrived yesterday evening, we are in possession of Paris papers to the 23d of May—from which we have extracted the following particulars.
The late hour at which we received them, precludes the possibility of furnishing anything more for this day; but whatever appears worthy of translation will be given to-morrow.
From a cursory perusal of the most recent they do not appear to contain any thing very interesting.
The most important event announced, is the intelligence relative to the insurrection on board the British fleet commanded by Lord Cornwallis, and destined for the East Indies. Though the Paris Editor does not appear to attach much credit to the authority on which this news is founded [letters from London]—yet we think it corroborates the accounts we published last week from Marblehead; which may now be rendered less dubious.
PARIS, May 16.
On the 14th inst. the Directory is said to have appointed Buonaparte (brother of the general) ambassador to Rome—and Scherer, Consul General to reside at New-York. Mr. Scherer is brother of the general of that name.
LA FAYETTE and his companions in misfortune Bureau de Pufy, and Latour Maubourg, are liberated. Buonaparte did not wait for special instructions from the Directory, but demanded and obtained their enlargement, immediately after the signature of the preliminaries with the Emperor. We are assured that La Fayette is determined to repair to Paris in the character of a prisoner, and that he means to solicit a formal trial.
May 23.
Letters have been received from London of the 15th instant, which announce, that a new insurrection has taken place in the British fleet, commanded by Lord Cornwallis and destined for India. The admiral having given orders for sailing, the crews refused to obey—he resolved on decisive measures and directed the mutineers to be fired on. This step, far from calming the insurrection, served only to exasperate the sailors, who soon obtained the entire command of several ships. They immediately arrested Lord Cornwallis and many of the superior officers, and appointed a commission of delegates from the several ships to try them—Mean while, deputations from the fleet were sent to the other ports in England to engage all the sailors in a common cause for obtaining the justice they require of government. It is unnecessary to add, that while we give publicity to these reports, we think it prudent to suspend our belief of their entire authenticity, till further accounts are received.

The Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, July 19.
TO DON CARLOS.
Sir,
IT is very currently reported, that the Officers of your magnanimous master, now commanding on the territory of the United States, have recently sold and are now selling, through their agents, large quantities of prime lands, to which (being ceded to the United States) their title may well be deemed questionable, or rather unquestionably bad.
It is also reported, that this has given rise to the pretence which have delayed the delivering up of the Posts to the officers of the United States.—That that celebrated Land-Dealer, BLUNT, had a concern in this speculation, and finessed, thro' his understrappers, with the British ministry, in the double view of gaining money as an Indian-treaty-man, and furnishing your officers with a new pretext, which may a low further time for the disposal of the disputed lands.
If it be true that his majesty and his representatives (who are said to be interested) wink at these transactions; and really the tergiversations and prevaricating conduct of Don Shuffeleys and the Baron de Carrey on delay, justify the suspicion; I leave it to your excellency's good sense to decide, whether it will not be very natural for us to begin to doubt whether his majesty actually means to fulfil the stipulation by which the aforesaid lands are ceded to the United States.
These important points will not miss your excellency's notice. You have abundant opportunity to clear up the business through the medium of any of the public prints: should it be in your power, your doing it will prove immensely advantageous to the interests of your master. A MAN.
MR. FENNO,
Please to inform Mr. Bache's correspondent, that he lies under a mistake, respecting the President's first appointment, his first being that of "Sands" from which no Gold can be extracted, in place of the Lambs whom wolves were devouring"—that the nomination of his first born to Berlin, was no more than a removal, and not as he and his correspondents have endeavoured to impose upon the world, a new appointment—It is well known to Mr. Bache and his correspondents that Mr. Adams was appointed by President Washington last June twelve-month, Minister Plenipotentiary to Lisbon; but as no appointment was made to fill his place at the Hague until this last March, when Mr. Murray was sent to succeed him, he was directed to remain at the Hague until his successor arrived—the successor of Washington thought proper to alter his destination to Berlin, instead of Lisbon. There is no additional rank conferred by this appointment, nor any additional emolument, and is no more Mr. Bache, than if your employers should think proper to remove you from home to France without an increase of pay or emolument.
