ADDRESS OF THE LEGISLATURE.
Yesterday the Hon. Mr. Phillips, President of the Senate, and the Hon. Mr. Robbins, Speaker of the House of Representatives, agreeably to appointment, proceeded to the House of JOHN ADAMS, Esq. to present to him the address of the Legislature of Massachusetts.—They were voluntarily accompanied by a number of the respectable gentlemen of Boston, and the neighborhood, on horseback and in carriages, exhibiting an extensive cavalcade: and were received by Mr. Adams, in the most cordial and affectionate manner.
THE ADDRESS.
To JOHN ADAMS, Esq.
At the moment, Sir, that you are descending from the exalted station of the First Magistrate of the American Nation, to mingle with the mass of your fellow-citizens, the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, your native state, embrace the occasion, to pour forth the free will offering of their sincere thanks, for the many important and arduous services you have rendered your country.
In the performance of this act, the Legislature have but one heart, and that vibrates with affection, respect and gratitude for your virtues, talents and patriotism.
We conceive it unnecessary to detail the character of him, whose life from earliest manhood, has been eminently devoted to the public good; this will be the delightful employment of the faithful and able historian.
Our posterity will critically compare the illustrious characters, which have elevated the condition of man, and dignified civil society, through the various ages of the world, and will with grateful effusions and conscious pride point to that of their beloved countryman.
The period of the Administration of our General Government, under the auspices of WASHINGTON and ADAMS, will be considered as among the happiest eras of time.
The example of their integrity possesses a moral and political value, which no calculation can reach, and will be justly estimated, as a standard for future Presidents of the United States.
We receive you, Sir, with open arms, esteem, and veneration; confidently hoping that you will possess undisturbed those blessings of domestic retirement, which great minds always appreciate and enjoy with dignity.
We devoutly supplicate the father of the universe, that your may realise, while you continue on earth, all the happiness of which human nature is susceptible; and when your course shall be finished here, that your Spirit may receive the transcendent rewards of THE JUST.
THE ANSWER.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Massachusetts.
THE very respectful, affectionate and obliging address, which has been presented to me by the President of the Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, by your order, has awakened all my sensibility, and demands my most grateful acknowledgements.
As the various testimonials of the approbation and affection of my fellow citizens of Massachusetts, which have been indulged to me from my earliest youth, have ever been esteemed the choicest blessings of my life, so this final applause of the Legislature, so generously given, after the close of the last scene, of the last act, of my political drama, is more precious than any which preceded it. There is now no greater felicity remaining for me to hope or desire, than to pass the remainder of my days in repose, in an undisturbed participation of
the common privileges of our fellow-citizens under your protection.
The satisfaction you have found in the administration of the general government from its commencement, is highly agreeable to me, and I sincerely hope that the twelve years to come will not be less prosperous or happy for our country.
With the utmost sincerity I reciprocate your devout supplications for the happiness of yourselves, your families, constituents and posterity.
JOHN ADAMS.
Quincy, March 26th, 1801.
PEACE BETWEEN FRANCE and AUSTRIA.
A Definitive Treaty of Peace, between France and the Emperor of Germany, was signed at Luneville on the 20th of Pluviôse (Feb. 9,) at half past four in the afternoon. On the succeeding night, Gen. Belavene, who since the opening of the conferences succeeded General Clarke in the Command of the Department of La Meurthe, proceeded with the intelligence to Paris. He arrived at the Thuileries at one o'clock in the morning. The Consuls Cambacérès and Lebrun being immediately assembled, a messenger was instantly forwarded to the First Consul, with the dispatch which contained the Treaty. The messenger met him returning to Paris. About seven in the evening the First Consul arrived, and he found the Ministers and several of the principal Public Functionaries assembled to receive him.
Copy of the Treaty Remitted by citizen Bellavesne, to the Minister of External Relations.
His Majesty the Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and the First Consul of the French Republic in the name of the French people, being equally desirous to put an end to the misfortunes of the war, have resolved to proceed to the conclusion of a Definitive Treaty of Peace and Friendship.
His said Imperial and Royal Majesty not being less ardently desirous to make the Germanic Empire partake of the benefits of Peace, and the present juncture not leaving time necessary for the Empire being consulted and being able to intervene Deputies in the Negotiation; and his said Majesty considering besides, what has been consented to by the Deputation of the Empire in the preceding Congress of Rastadt, has resolved (as it has been done in similar circumstances) to stipulate in the name of the Germanic Body.
In consequence of which the contracting parties have appointed for their Plenipotentiaries.—His Imperial and Royal Majesty, the Sieur Louis, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, de Cobenzel, Knight of the Golden Fleece, Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Saint Stephen and of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Chamberlaine, actual Privy Counsellor of his said Imperial and Royal Majesty, his Minister of Conferences, and Vice Chancellor of Court and State: And the First Consul of the French Republic, in the name of the French people, Citizen Joseph Buonaparte Counsellor of State.
Who, after having exchanged their full powers, have determined on the following Articles:
Art. I. There shall be for the future and for ever, peace, and friendship, and good intelligence between his Majesty the Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia, stipulating as well in his name, as in the name of the Germanic Empire, and the French Republic; his said Majesty pledging himself to make the said Empire ratify in good and due form the said present Treaty. The greatest attention will be given on one part and on the other to the maintenance of a perfect harmony, and to prevent any kind and to prevent any kind of hostility by land or by sea, for whatever cause, and under whatever pretence, by applying themselves with care to entertain the union happily re-established. No assistance and protection will be given, neither directly nor
indirectly, to those who would prejudice one or the other of the contracting parties.
II. The cession of the ci-devant Belgic provinces to the French Republic, stipulated by the 3d article of the Treaty of Campo-Formio, is here renewed in the most formal manner, so that his Imperial and Royal Majesty, for himself and his successors, as well in his name as in the name of the Germanic Empire, renounces all his right and titles to the aforesaid provinces, which shall be possessed for ever, in full sovereignty and property, by the French Republic, with all the territorial estates belonging to them.
There shall likewise be given up to the French Republic by his Imperial and Royal Majesty, and with the formal consent of the Empire:
1st. The county of Falkenstein, with all its dependencies. 2d. The Frickthal, and every thing which belongs to the House of Austria, on the left bank of the Rhine between Zurzach and Basle; the French Republic reserving to herself to yield this last country to the Helvetic Republic.
III. In the same manner, renewing and confirming the 6th article of the treaty of Campo-Formio, his Majesty the Emperor and King shall possess, in full sovereignty and property, the countries hereafter designated, to wit: Istria, Dalmatia, and the Venetian states of the Adriatic dependent thereon; the mouth of the Cataro, the city of Venice, the Marshes between the hereditary states of the Emperor, the Adriatic sea, and the Adige, from its quitting the Tyrol to its embouchure in the said sea, the Thalweg of the Adige serving for a line of limitation; and as the adopting this line will intersect the towns of Verona and Porto Legnago, draw-bridges shall be established in the middle of them, in order to mark their separation.
IV. The eighteenth article of the treaty of Campo-Formio is in like manner renewed, so far as obliges his said Majesty the Emperor and King to cede to the Duke of Modena, as an indemnity for the countries this Prince and his heirs had in Italy, the Bergaw, which he shall possess on the same conditions as those, in virtue of which he possessed Modenese.
V. It is also agreed that his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Tuscany, renounce for himself, successors and assigns the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, and that part of the Island of Elbe, which is dependent thereon, as well as all rights and titles resulting from the dominion of the said states; the same shall henceforward be possessed in full sovereignty and property by his Royal Highness the infant Duke of Parma. The Grand Duke will obtain a full indemnity in Germany for the loss of his estates in Italy. The Grand Duke may dispose as he pleases of the estates and property which he particularly possesses in Tuscany, whether by personal acquisition, or by bequest of the deceased Emperor Leopold II. his father, or of the deceased Emperor Francis I. his grandfather. It is also agreed that the trusts, establishments and other property of the Grand Duchy, as well as the debts from mortgages on the country, shall be transferred to the new Grand Duke.
VI. His Majesty the Emperor and King, as well in his own name, as in that of the Germanic empire, consents that a future the French Republic shall possess, in full sovereignty and property, the countries and domains situated on the left bank of the Rhine, and which made part of the German Empire, in a manner conformable to that which had been expressly consented to at the Congress at Rastadt, by the deputation of the Empire, and approved by the Emperor.—The Thalweg of the Rhine being hereafter the limit between the French Republic and the German Empire, to wit, from the place where the Rhine leaves the Helvetic territory, to that where it enters the Batavian territory. In consequence of which the French Republic formally renounces every possession whatever on the
right bank of the Rhine, and consents to restore to whomsoever they may belong, the places of Dusseldorf, Ehrenbreitstein, Phillipsburgh, the fort of Cassel, and other fortifications opposite Mayence, on the right; as also the fort of Kehl, and the Old Brisac, upon the express conditions that these places and forts shall continue and remain in the same state as at their evacuation.
VII. And as in virtue of the cession the emperor makes to the French republic, several princes and states of the empire will be dispossessed in the whole or in part of what belonged to them particularly, while collectively the German empire has to support the losses resulting from the stipulations of the present treaty, it is agreed between his Majesty the Emperor and King, as well in his own name as in that of the German Empire, and the French republic, that conformably to the principles laid down and established at the Congress at Rastadt, the empire, is bound to give to the hereditary princes so dispossessed on the left bank of the Rhine, an indemnification to be taken from the body of the empire according to the arrangements which, after the said bases, will be ultimately determined upon.
VIII. Throughout all the ceded countries acquired or exchanged by the present Treaty, it is agreed upon, as it had before been by the 4th and 10th articles of the treaty of Campo Formio, that those to whom they will belong take upon themselves the debts as mortgages upon the land of the said country; but in consideration of the difficulties which, in regard to this matter, the interpretation of the said articles in the treaty of Campo Formio gave rise to, it is expressly understood, that the French republic only takes upon itself the debts arising from the loans formally consented to by the states of the ceded countries or the expenses incurred by the effective administration of the said countries.
IX. Immediately after the exchange or ratification of the present treaty, there shall be granted, in all the countries ceded, acquired, or exchanged, by the said treaty, to all the inhabitants and proprietors whomsoever, an exemption from the sequestration put on their goods, effects, and revenues on account of the war which has taken place. The contracting parties oblige themselves to discharge all they may owe for principal lent to them by the said individuals, as well as by the public establishments of the said countries, and to pay or reimburse all the interest accruing to them by each of the said parties.—In consequence of which it is expressly stipulated, that the proprietors of stock of the bank of Vienna, become French, shall continue to enjoy the benefits of their stock, and receive the interest accrued or to accrue, notwithstanding any sequestration or forfeiture, which shall be considered as not having taken place, particularly the forfeiture resulting from the French proprietors not having furnished the thirty, and the cent per cent demanded of the proprietors of stock of the bank of Vienna, by his Majesty the Emperor and King. The contracting parties shall reciprocally remove the sequestrations that have been put, in consequence of the war, on the goods, rights and revenues of the subjects of his Majesty the Emperor, or of the Empire, in the territory of the French republic; and of the French citizens in the states of his Majesty, or of the empire.
XI. The present treaty of peace, particularly the articles 8, 9, 10 and the 15th, hereinafter, are declared common to the Batavian, Helvetic, Cisalpine, and Ligurian republics. The contracting parties mutually guarantee the independence of the said republics, and the right of the people who inhabit them, to adopt such form of government as they shall judge fit.
XII. His Imperial and Royal Majesty renounces, for himself and his successors, in favor of the Cisalpine republic, all rights and titles accruing from those rights, which he might claim over those countries which he possessed before the war, and which, under the terms of the 8th article of the treaty of Campo Formio, make a part of the Cisalpine republic, which shall

possess them in full sovereignty and pro- party, with all the territorial property de- pending on them.
XIII. His Imperial and Royal Majesty, as well in his own name as in the name of the Germanic empire, confirms the adher- ence already given by the treaty of Campo Formio, to the re-union of the heretofore Imperial fiefs to the Ligurian republic, and renounces all rights and rules accruing from those rights over the said fiefs.
XIV. Conformably to the article of the treaty of Campo Formio, the navigation of the Adige, serving as the limit between the states of his Imperial and Royal Ma- jesty, and those of the Cisalpine republic, shall be free, so that neither party shall establish thereon any toll, nor keep any armed vessels thereon.
XV. All the prisoners of war taken on the one side and the other, as well as the hostages taken or given during the war, who have not yet been restored shall be re- stored within forty days from the signature of the present Treaty.
XVI. All the real and personal property of his Royal Highness the Archduke Charles, not alienated, and of the heirs of her late Royal Highness the Archduchess Christina, situated in the countries ceded to the French Republic, shall be restored to them, on condition that the said property shall be sold within the space of three years. The same shall extend to the real and per- sonal property of their Royal Highnesses the Archduke Ferdinand and the Arch- duchess Beatrix his wife, which they pos- sessed in the territory of the Cisalpine Re- public.
XVII. The 12th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and 18th articles of the Treaty of Campo Formio, shall be again in full force, to be executed according to their form and tenor, as if they were inserted verbatim in the present Treaty.
XVIII. The contributions, levies, sup- plies of provisions, and other supplies of war, shall cease from the date of the ex- change of the ratification of the present Treaty, on the part of his Majesty the Emperor, and by the Germanic Empire, and on the part of the French Repub- lic.
XIX. The present treaty shall be ratified by his Majesty the Emperor and King, by the Empire and by the French Republic, within thirty days or sooner if it can be done; and it is agreed upon, that the ar- ticles of the two powers shall remain in the positions where they now are, both in Ger- many and Italy, until the said ratifications of the Emperor and King, of the Empire, and of the French Republic, shall be at the same exchanged at Luneville, by the respective plenipotentiaries. It is also agreed upon that ten days after the ex- change of the said ratifications the armies of his Imperial and Royal Majesty, shall re-enter his hereditary possessions, which shall in the same time be evacuated by the French armies; and that thirty days after the said exchange, the French army shall evacuate the whole of the territory of the said Empire.
Done and signed at Luneville, the 20th Pluviose, 9th year of the French Republic—9th February, 1801.
LOUIS COUNT COBENZEL. JOSEPH BUONAPARTE.
PARIS, Feb. 14.
Yesterday evening the news of the con- clusion of Peace spread through every cir- cle, and was announced at every ball. It is impossible to describe the impression it has made upon the public mind. Every class and description of citizens manifest the same joy and exultation. As soon as this joyful intelligence reached the hotel Longueville, where there was a masked ball, the company came out and danced on the Caroufel, and with the effusions of patriotic enthusiasm, they learned to blend the frolics of folly.
Peace, the first object of the nation, is now the topic of general conversation, and the bosom of the Republic swells with liveliest emotions of gratitude.
This morning, at six o'clock, repeated discharges of artillery announced the hap- py intelligence of the conclusion of peace with the emperor and Germanic empire.
About 11 o'clock the ministers and the counsellors of state proceeded to the Thuil- leries, together with a great number of the members of the legislative body, and several of the public functionaries, both civil and military.
After the audience which they had from the chief consul, Buonaparte went to the council of State, where he acquainted the members with the condition of the trea- ty.
At 10 in the evening, the band of the consular guard assembled in the garden of the Thuilleries, where they continued un-
der the windows of the chief consul. The concert was concluded by a discharge from 50 pieces of cannon. The fetes which government is to display on this occasion will not take place till the treaty is ratified.
PARIS, Feb. 25.
The report of a misunderstanding between the emperor Paul and the King of Sweden is unfounded, as is also the one which states that gen. Menou is to be Governor Gene- ral of Egypt, and gen. Reynier comman- der of the troops; both will retain their former occupations.
LONDON, February 11.
We understand that the navy estimates for the service of the present year amount to near seventeen millions sterling, and the army estimates are not much short of the same sum.
Letters have been received from Turkey, which state, that col. Murray and col. An- struther, sent by gen. Abercrombie, have arrived in the camp of the Grand Vizier, where they have been well received, and are concerning measures with the Vizier for the attack of Egypt.
A letter from Hamburgh states, that the last remittance of the English subsidy to the Emperor, amounting to 800,000l. has been stopped on its way to Vienna, by the British minister at Dresden. It is to remain until further orders, in the hands of the most respectable bankers in the latter city.
The change in the Portuguese admini- stration, in consequence of the death of the Count de Lima, consists of the Visconde d'Anadia, as prime minister; M. Pinto, minister for home affairs; and for the fo- reign department, M. Lorenzo de Lime, is to be the new minister at the court of London.
A letter from Hamburgh states that the British ambassador at Berlin, Lord Gars- fort, made the most urgent representations to his Prussian Majesty, to dissuade him from joining the northern coalition. In the note which he delivered on this sub- ject, in the name of his Britannic Ma- jesty, he expressed, "His Britannic ma- jesty's fervent wishes to remain the constant friend of the king of Prussia, as generous principles and the ties of consanguinity bound him so intimately to his majesty's person. But neither this note, nor that delivered from Lord Grenville's office to the Prussian minister, Baron Von Kloft Jacobi, at London, has produced any al- teration in the sentiments of Frederick William.
Chaptal has lately discovered a new me- thod of bleaching cotton, by the vapour of fixed alkali.—This has been put in prac- tice at an establishment, by C. Rawens, who bleaches two or three thousand ells of cloth daily, by using only 80lbs. of soda, and the work of one man.
February 13.
The negotiation between Austria and France seems to have been managed with great address on the part of the French, who avoided the delays and inconvenien- cies of a Congress, and treated with the Emperor for himself and for the Empire. By this procedure the French avoid the obnoxious task of interfering in adjusting the indemnities to be given to those Ger- man princes who have been dispossessed of their territories. But whence are the in- demnities to be procured?—only by dispos- sessing others by secularization or other- wise!—How then are the latter to be in- demnified?
It will be seen by the Message to the councils, that France makes the cause with the northern powers against Britain. No one has doubted this for some time: but now it is avowed, and the same abuse which has for some years been popular in Europe against France, will now be equally so a- gainst this country.—Tempora mutantur.
The news of the peace in Paris raised the price of Tiers Consolides to 65 3-4.
It was reported yesterday in the first po- litical circles, that the Marquis of Lans- downe had written a letter to a certain personage, informing him that by a late event he felt himself at liberty to impart to his M——, that he had reason to know, Buonaparte was disposed to treat for peace, on terms not injurious either to the honor or interests of England.
March 2.
This morning Paris papers to the 26th ult. were received in town. The Ham- burgh mail due yesterday evening is also arrived. The only important intelligence is the recall of Mr. Otto, the cause of which assigned by Buonaparte is, the conduct of our government towards the French fish- ermen. The account brought by the Ham- burgh mail of the landing of sir R. Aber-
crombie in Egypt appears to stand in need of confirmation. The Gazette of Saturday contains a long string of naval advantages obtained by our arms in the East.
There was a very numerous meeting on Saturday evening at a much respected no- bleman's, in Grosvenor square, which is be- come once more the head quarters of the opposition, since Mr. Fox returned to town. All the leading men of the party in both houses of parliament were present; and from what we hear, there was a regular can- vass for places, as if the administration were vacant, or its successors not appoint- ed. But this is not the only place where there has been a canvass during the last week. There is scarcely a peer of doubt- ful politics, whose sentiments have not been sounded.
Four flags will be employed in the Bal- tic, viz. those of sir Hyde Parker, lord Nelson, admiral Totty, and admiral Gam- bier. The fleet will consist of 21 sail of the line, including the Isis of 50 guns of five large frigates, besides cutters, gun- boats and fire ships.
All the ships of the line to be employed in the Baltic, have received orders to take on board two long 24 pounders.
Letters from Acre state, that the most active preparations were making for the de- barkation and march of the troops under the orders of sir Ralph Abercrombie.
In consequence of the strength of the enemy's works at Alexandria, Rosetta, and Damietta, we understand the army was to land at Acre, and in company with the Turks to march across the desert for Cairo. 30,000 canteens for the carriage of water, and a proportionate supply of provisions, had been collected.
Harvey, Morris, Corbett, and other state prisoners, confined in Kilmainham, near Dublin, have effected their escape. They proposed to liberate Napper Tandy, but he declined the offer. The rope by which Blackwell was descending, broke, when he was seized by the sentries, and re- manded to the gaol.
We have the pleasure to state, that du- ring the first four days of the last week no less than seventy-four vessels have arrived at Liverpool with grain from foreign parts. The importation of grain during the last week consisted of,
 10,505 quarters of wheat,  1,160 quarters Rye,  2,870 quarters barley,  9,160 quarters oats,  2,622 quarters peas,  380 quarters beans.   About 2,000 cwt. of rice, and a small quantity of flour.
Price of STOCKS this day at 1 o'clock. 3 per cent. Consols 56 55 7-8 3-4 Ditto for April, 56 1-4 1-8 56 Omnium 13-4 1-2.
FRESH LISTS OF THE NEW MINISTRY.
LIST I.
At length the principal departments of the new administration have been finally ar- ranged; and we this day lay before our readers a list of the different members of it, which may be depended on. It will be perceived that many of them have already appeared in our paper; but we think it will be interesting to the public to have the whole presented together. The ar- rangements were not completed till Fri- day, when Mr. Addington had again a private audience of his majesty, which lasted three hours.
The right hon. Henry Addington, first lord of the treasury, and chancellor of the exchequer.
Lord Eldon, lord high chancellor.
The earl of Chatham, president of the council.
Duke of Portland, secretary of state for the home department.
Lord Hawkesbury, secretary of state for the foreign department.
Lord Hobart, secretary of state for the war department.
Earl St. Vincent, first lord of the ad- miralty.
Earl of Westmoreland, privy seal.
Earl of Liverpool, president of the board of trade.
The right hon. T. Pelham, president of the board of control.
Lord Charles Spencer, joint postmaster- general, in the room of lord Gower.
Lord Arden, master of the mint.
Charles York, eq. secretary at war.
Lord Glenbervie, and the right hon. T. Steele, paymasters.
Nicholas Vanhittart and Charles Bragge, esqrs. secretaries of the treasury.
Mr. Serjeant, a lord of the treasury, in the room of lord Leveson Gower.
Sir R. P. Arden, chief justice of the common pleas.
Sir W. Grant, master of the rolls.
Mr. Law, attorney-general. Mr. Perceval, solicitor-general. The viceroyalty of Ireland, and the mastership of the board of ordnance still remain open. Lord Hardwicke has been named for the first of these offices, and the offer has been made to Sir Charles Stuart to go as commander in chief, but nothing is yet settled. The viceroyalty may perhaps be put in commission. The report of the duke of York's being ap- pointed master-general of the ordnance is without foundation.
Lord Loughborough is to retire from public affairs, with a pension of 4000l. a year.
The three naval lords, admirals Young, Mann, and Gambier, all retire from the board of admiralty, and also lord Temple. Sir Philip Stephens and Mr. Elliot remain, and so do Mr. Nepean and Mr. Mariden. Sir Thomas Troubridge is the only new lord yet appointed. Lord St. Vincent's will take his seat at the board on Wed- nesday next.
LIST II.
We have reason to believe that the leading appointments in the new ministry are settled, and that some of the writs will be issued this day. According to report the arrangements are as follow:
Mr. Addington, to be first lord of the treasury, and chancellor of the exchequer.
The duke of Portland, Secretary of state for the home department.
Lord Hawkesbury ditto, for the foreign department.
Earl St. Vincent, first lord of the ad- miralty, and commander in chief of the Channel fleet.
Earl of Chatham, lord president of the council.
Earl of Westmoreland, lord privy seal. Hon. Thomas Pelham, president of the board of control.
Lord Eldon, lord chancellor.
Sir Pepper Arden, chief justice of the common pleas.
Sir William Grant, master of the rolls.
Mr. Law, attorney-general.
Mr. Perceval, solicitor-general.
Earl Hardwicke, lord lieutenant of Ire- land.
Sir Charles Stuart, commander in chief in Ireland.
Hon. Charles Yorke, secretary at war.
Mr. N. Vanhittart, } Secretaries of the Mr. Serjeant, } treasury.
Lord Glenbervie, the new joint paymas- ter with Mr. Steele.
Lord Arden, master of the mint.
The admiralty is not yet finally arrang- ed. It is said that earl St. Vincent de- sires to be understood, that he takes his commission without implicating himself in the politics of his colleagues. He is to attend the cabinet only upon admiralty questions. The vacancies of the board are not filled. It is believed that Sir Tho- mas Trowbridge will certainly be one of the members, and that the noble earl will in the same manner surround himself with officers of the most eminent talents at the board.— Alb. Chron.
FOR THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE.
Observations have been made in a Nor- folk paper, against the propriety of admit- ting the French frigate Semillante lately ar- rived there, into the heart, as it is said, of the country, and that at a time too when the treaty is yet pending, the ratifications being yet not exchanged. These observations will not appear to deserve any credit, when it is known, 1st. That no existing law opposed the frigate coming up to Norfolk, since the repeal of the non-intercourse act—2d. And what is more decisive, that the Semillante entered the waters of the United States as carrying a flag of truce, and with all her guns and port holes shut; and that pre- vious to her coming further, and altering her situation, application to that purpose had been made to the executive, and proper authorisation obtained. It is besides a fact, that in France when the frigate that brought the American commissioners arrived with a flag of truce, no objections were made to her be- ing admitted into the harbor of Havre de Grace; where she lay some time.
Further remarks on the observations al- luded to are made against ships of war of foreign nations being admitted into harbor to repair the damages of the sea. What would be the effect in Europe if the ships of the United States were ordered to lay in outer roads, upon the same principle? The fact is that, always, where foreign vessels of war are admitted at all, they are admit- ted to enter where their conveniences and wants may be best supplied; otherwise the admission would be useless. As to what re- lates particularly to the Semillante , the above statement shews that in her case there has been not the least breach either of law or of propriety.

WASHINGTON CITY.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1801.
ELECTION
For a member of the House of Representatives.
Table with 2 columns: Sprigg, Thomas. Rows: Upper Marlboro 93 44, Patuxatway 48 171, Vanville 200 74, Bladensburg 39 Majority, Nottingham 148 58.
Republican Maj. 181.
We have yet to hear from the county of Ann Arundel, and the city of Annapolis. But though the result is not ascertained, there can be no doubt of its affording Mr. Sprigg a majority.
We yesterday received the Norfolk Epitome of the Times, which is entirely silent as to any quarrel among the sailors of that place, as stated, on rumour, some days since.
We are, however, possessed of a letter dated March 25th, which states that on the 22d a quarrel had taken place between the sailors of the Semillante and Chesapeake. The letter states the French sailors, to the number of 30, to have attacked with swords the American sailors, who resisted with brick bats, &c. The police interfered and took several of the French marines, who were confined for a short time, and afterwards liberated on bail.
Appointment by the President of the United States.
OFFICIAL. GEORGE DENT, to be Marshal of the District Potomac.
Elizur Goodrich, of Connecticut, has resigned his seat in the seventh Congress of the United States.
It appears that the new British loan was concluded by Mr. Pitt and Mr. Addington, conjointly on the part of the government.
The loan was taken by two lists, viz. Sir Francis Baring, Messrs. Roberts, J. J. Angerstein, Curtis & Co. J. Ayton, B. and A. Goldfinch, J. Battye, finid, R. Shewell, Thelusson Brothers, B. Ellis, G. Ward, R. Aislabie.
The terms of the loan are— 12½. consols, } for every 100l. subscription. 30l. 16s. reduced, }
The amount of the loan is 28,000,000 pounds.
but the capital created will amount to the sum of 49,210,000 This bearing interest at 3 per cent. per annum, the interest will be 1,477,000 To which must be added, for redemption, on the sum 280,000
£. 1,757,000 Borrowed, besides the interest on three million pounds, Exchequer bills for vote of credit, at 5 1-4 per cent. 157,000
Total to be provided for by permanent taxes £. 1,914,000
The money is borrowed at 5l. 5s. 6d. interest; the loan of last year was made at 4l. 4s. 6d. per cent. interest; so that the loan of this year is done for only 11s. per cent more: Though the present interest is much lower than that of some loans which were taken four years ago.
As soon as the terms of the loans were known in the City, Consols experienced the following fluctuations: 56 1-4 57 a 56 1-2 1-4.

NEW YORK April 2.
Capt. Watlington, who arrived here yesterday in 17 days from St. Thomas, informs us, that an American captain arrived there the day he failed from Martinique, with information that the British had embarked on board of 12 ships a large number of troops, and it was supposed they were destined against St. Bartholomews, St. Thomas's and St. Croix. The Cork fleet had arrived at Martinique, in which were 5,000 troops, and it was said they were to join the above expedition. All the inhabitants, and even the captains and crews of vessels at St. Thomas's were under arms every night; hourly expecting an attack from the English.

It is also within less than one mile of Samuel Thomas MERCHANT, and SAW MILLS are noted on Griffith's Map, and are called Roxbury. Any person may see by referring to his map, how central this situation is to the Federal City and Baltimore, and be sensible of the advantages that must arise to the purchasers from the choice of two such markets—This place is very healthy and is well supplied with good springs of fine water. There is on it a Brick Dwelling House and Kitchen; the House is 40 feet by 23, conveniently divided—there is a good Barn, Stable, Corn House, Tobacco and Hay Houses, all in good repair, and many other convenient out Houses.

LONDON, Feb. 20.
Mr. FITT, yesterday, in the House of Commons, on the state of the nation, in answer to those who spoke before him, said,
I should not occupy the attention of the house any longer, but must take the present opportunity of saying a few words, in answer to what has been advanced by the hon. member, who, from the respect I entertain for his character, I am convinced could be actuated by no wish to create an unmanly despondency in the minds of the people of the country. There was something extremely singular in the observation with which he set out. He mentioned, as a reason for not having urged his objections in the committee of ways and means, that he understood it never was the practice to take notice of the objections of the supply on the same day they were proposed. Undoubtedly, on any new points that may be introduced, gentlemen do usually wish to reserve themselves till they have maturely considered them; and they act perfectly right in so doing; but that it is unusual to state objections with regard to these objects that are understood on the night they are proposed, is what I now learn for the first time. In the course of seventeen years, during which it has been my painful duty to address the committee of ways and means, I have never known it a general practice not to state any objections to the proposed taxes, except yesterday. The observations now made by the hon. member grow out of the papers he has in his pocket, which I suppose he had yesterday, or at least which he might have had if he had thought proper; and what is the information they convey? It is that, notwithstanding the general and collective prosperity of the country, there are particular places in which the poor rates have increased. I am afraid it is too true; but have I ever said, that the circumstances arising from the failure of the crops, the unfavourableness of the late seasons, and other unforeseen causes, have not been severely felt by all classes of the people? Have I ever said, I did not in common with the house deplore the existence of those circumstances? Have I ever shown myself backward in assisting to relieve the people from their sufferings? No one will accuse me of it. But I may be allowed to ask, whether, as men who looking forward to, and exerting every energy of our souls, for the preservation and defence of the permanent interests of the country—whether, as men engaged in a great and important cause, on the success of which the existence of the rich and the poor equally and eventually depends;—whether as men, in whose hands the salvation of the constitution, the government, the peace, happiness, independence, and future prosperity of the country, are entrusted, we ought to suffer the whole of that system of policy, by which we are guided in the attainment of objects so dear and valuable, to be determined by the accidental pressure of the poor-rates in particular places, during particular years, when the burthens of the people have been aggravated by the failure of a considerable portion of the accustomed harvest? I will admit all his facts as broadly as he can state them; I will lament them as much as he or any man can; I will join my hand and heart to relieve them, while the pressure exists; but I will not think I am acting fairly towards my country, when I take advantage of what I trust are only the temporary visitations of Providence—to depress that spirit, and palsy those exertions, by which the country has at various times recovered the severest trials, and will again recover those it may have to encounter, however arduous they may be. I wish to say a few words, in addition to those with which I have already troubled the House—the hon. Gentleman asks is there any remedy but peace?—Whatever feelings I have had on that subject remain still unalterably the same. It is the most anxious wish I have at heart to see peace established, whenever it can be done consistently with the honor and security of the country. But give me leave to say, that blessing so ardently the object of our wishes, is not likely to be best promoted by gentlemen rising from their seats in the House of Commons, and letting our adversaries understand that we are driven to despair of our means, in consequence of the mere deficiency of the seasons. I do not think that to deny the resources of the country, is the way to enable it to enter into forms of arrangement with its enemies for a treaty of pacification. With regard to the distresses under which he states the country to labour, what are they considered in the scale with its general prosperous situation? Except such as have arisen from the unexpected
scarcity of the seasons, what distresses are there that ought to excite the despondence of a whole nation? The hon. gentleman tells us of those which happen to be felt in great manufacturing districts; those are precisely the places where during an arduous struggle, the burthens of which are increased by the failure of the harvests, distresses are most likely to be found; but it is also in such places where the good sense, the moderation, and the zeal of men who with well to the dearest interests of their country ought to be most exerted in preventing or destroying the effect of misrepresentations, and of popular passions grounded on them. Does the hon. gentleman, or do those who adopt his sentiments, feel themselves justified in saying, that in manufacturing places, the distresses, which he supposes are occasioned by the war, are greater than the general balance in favour of the increased commerce and resources of the country? When they look to the general situation of the country, and find its commerce and manufactures are increased beyond example, can they feel that they are dealing fairly by the country, and by their own characters and good sense, by stating these advantages as evils arising out of the war? I have their own language against it.
I have heard many of those, who began by telling us, at the outset of the war, that war must inevitably ruin our commerce and manufactures, now contradict that assertion, by telling us that our trade and commerce were entirely artificial, that they depended upon the war, and would be destroyed by peace: a singular argument this on the part of those who recommend peace as the only remedy for the distresses of the country. It is too much for the house to be desired to attend to arguments so contradictory in terms. Are we to be told that our commerce is artificial, and yet that nothing but peace can relieve the distresses under which the manufacturing part of the country is supposed to labour? No gentleman can have a right to avail himself of both those arguments. Surely, when they have said that our commerce is artificial, they are not at liberty alternately to turn round and tell us that a sudden peace will put an end to it on the one hand, and on the other, that the distresses of our manufacturers arise from the pressure of the war. There is another subject to which the hon. gentleman has thought proper to allude; the exclusion of our commerce and manufactures from the continent. In the first place, I must beg leave to say, that it is a question distinct from that upon which he was talking, namely, the question of the war. I desire gentlemen will, when they are arguing a point, use distinct phrases. They have talked of the war, because they have thought the conduct of France did not justify our entering into it—they will be so good as to recollect, respecting the war with France, of the necessity of entering into which they differed from us, that it has been proved, it has had the effect, not of decreasing, but of increasing our trade and manufactures. Then, as to the other war, by the operation of which we are told we shall be excluded from the continent, have they considered among themselves, whether it is a war indispensable on the part of this country? If they have, I would put it to them, whether they conceive they do right in exciting apprehensions as to the probable success of that war? I do not pretend to know what opinions may be entertained by gentlemen on the other side, because I find so much doubt and scepticism prevail among them in forming their opinions; but I cannot suppose that there is any one who, whatever may be his opinion with regard to the war against France, would wish, by the expression of his fears, to do that which could have no other operation than that of checking our negotiations for amicably settling, or our exertions for enforcing those rights which are so closely linked with our maritime power and naval superiority, and so intimately connected with whatever is calculated to secure our commerce, our wealth, our national independence, and honor. If it should unfortunately happen that hostilities should take the most wide and extended turn, and this is not the moment in which I can hold out any certain expectation to the contrary; such language as we have heard to-night must produce the most unfortunate effects with regard to our manufactures. There is another thing to which they have not attended. They seem entirely to have forgotten, that to the nations on the continent our commerce is as indispensably necessary for their supply as they can suppose it to be to us to have their market; they seem also to have forgotten the possibility of our merchandise being carried to foreign markets in neutral ships; they seem to have forgotten that there is one great commercial nation
determined to persevere in a rigid system of neutrality. When they speak of the general state of the country, as affected by the war, and the measures of the government, they seem never to have inquired what proportion the commerce of this country with the continent of Europe bears to its commerce with all the parts of the world, and to the increase of that commerce with other countries in the course of the present war. I have been induced to lay considerably more than I intended, in consequence of the observations of the hon. gentleman. I have felt it my duty not to leave his statement with the impression it was calculated to produce. I have answered it in such a way as appeared to me best adapted to destroy its effect; and I hope and trust every gentleman feels perfectly satisfied with my explanation."
