A CONVERSATION.
First. Well, what do you think of the French now; are they not a glorious people? Second. A glorious people! Yes, I believe they are. There never was, or ever will be such a people. How mean and contemptible must all the people in the world appear to them. Third. By Jove, I cannot think so. I think as an American, that the American people are second to no people under heaven. Considering our numbers, and our circumstances in carrying on our revolution, and our manner of conducting it, where can we find, in antient or modern times, any thing to equal it? First. The American people! what were, or what would have been, the American people, without the French? Second. O, nothing, nothing; we owe all we have to them. Third. I beg your pardon, we did a vast deal, and discovered great powers in council in courage, and in conduct, before the French would take any notice of us; and if they had not been fully convinced of our true greatness, they never would have taken notice of us. Second. But if they had not taken notice of us, what should we be now?
First. Why, little more than we are at present, the slaves and vassals of Great-Britain.
Third. And, if I may add, what would France be now, if we had not led them to liberty and glory—the slaves of a despot, and the idolatrous worshippers of a bauble, called a crown.
First. Aye, there were a few of the Americans in '75, that were real patriots, who knew the value of the French.
Second. A few! all but the cursed Tories knew their value; and they were not a few, I consider them the people.
First. Well, so do I, and them I consider the people still; and if the people were at liberty to act themselves, we should now be enjoying the fruits of these glorious victories with this great people.
Third. I thought the people always acted themselves. Are not a majority, the people?
Second. Not always; I believe we should not be in the wretched degraded state we are in, if they were.
First. It makes my blood boil when I consider the advantages we are losing in respect to fame and fortune, in consequence of not being one with this glorious people.
Third. I think we have more fortune, and are entitled to more fame as we are—what are the French after? They are wading through rivers of blood, in hopes of obtaining peace, plenty, and security. For these, at the expence of the best blood of their country, they are depravating the best part of Europe. But if they could obtain and preserve these blessings without these glorious wars, would they not be a more glorious nation still? How happy would the French nation think themselves, if they were in our circumstances! how happy would any nation under heaven think themselves!
Second. Aye, you would submit to anything, rather than go to war.
Third. No, I would not submit to any thing, rather than not go to war: But I would submit to the perpetual enjoyment of peace, plenty, and security, rather than go to war with any power under heaven.
First. Well, I confess I cannot help envying the French nation, and detesting the councils and counsellors that have prevented our participating with them in the glory they are acquiring.
Third. Well, I confess I do not envy them in any point of view. I do not envy them any glory they may gain in the war—they themselves are so anxious to put a period to it. I rejoice in the consideration that we do not as a nation, suffer by comparison with them either in our councils or counsellors, or our conduct. I glory in the consideration, that we, as a people, have had the address to obtain, and retain all the blessings this brave nation are struggling for, at the expence of so much blood and treasure, without expending the one or the other; and, in my heart, I love the instruments made use of in directing our councils—so that, instead of our citizens being employed in cutting the throats of their brethren, they are employed in raising the supports of life for themselves and their neighbours, throughout the world.
Heavens multiplying, it was thought by each prudent here to close the conversation.

PHILADELPHIA.
MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 22.
Yesterday morning arrived here the ship Light-Horse, Captain Van Rensselaer, in 48 days from Bristol. Seventeen passengers arrived in the above vessel.
Mrs. GRATTAN and family, cabin passengers, the Rev. Mr. JONES and family, and Mr. WILLIAM CLEAVER, Steerage Passengers, on board the Light-Horse, being impressed with a full sense of their obligations, to Capt. VAN RENSSELAER, for his polite and attentive treatment, during the whole of their passage, from Bristol to Philadelphia; take this opportunity of returning him their sincere thanks, as a small testimony of their gratitude, and only regret their want of power, to make the return they wish, and which Capt. VAN RENSSELAER's conduct in every respect, so highly entitles him to.
Capt. VAN RENSSELAER, has favoured us with Bristol Papers to the 27th of June inclusive, from which the following Intelligence is taken.—Additional extracts to-morrow.
LONDON, June 20—21. This evening a Messenger arrived at Lord Grenville's Office, with dispatches from the Marquis of Bute, his Majesty's Ambassador at the Court of Madrid, which were forwarded to the King at Windsor.
The second of the Hamburg Mails that were due arrived this evening. They contain letters from Frankfort of the 5th, from which it appears, that the head-quarters of the Arch-duke Charles were moved to Meissenheim on the 3rd, and that his corps had gained some small advantages, and taken about 300 prisoners. The French advanced posts had withdrawn from the Nahe.
On the 25th of May a Messenger from Austria passed through Huninguen, with a passport from Barthlelemi, on his road to Paris; and on the 30th of May a Courier went by Strasburgh, with dispatches to Germany from Paris, taking the road to Lauterburgh.
The French fleet from Toulon is at sea, but has not hitherto shown any disposition to meet the English squadron, which is every way superior, as well in point of numbers as equipment. Admiral Jervis is on the coast, keeping a strict look-out after them.
The gun-boats fitting out at Flushing, and other ports of the United Provinces, it is now said, are intended to be sent up the Rhine, for the purpose of co-operating with the French army in that quarter.
In the Courier Universal, a very destructive pestilence is said to prevail at Caen, occasioned by the vapours, of the stagnant waters, and the putrid exhalations of the bodies of 4 or 500 dead horses which have been allowed to rot in the neighbourhood.
The obligation imposed upon the King of Spain by the French, to banish from his dominions Madame d'Artois, his own daughter, is an act of wanton cruelty at which human nature must shudder.
Government have lately taken up six more stout vessels, which mount from 18 to 26 guns each, designed as armed ships for the better protection of the trade on the North Coast.
The ship Watts, Capt. William Fell, belonging to Maryport, was once called the Mary and Ann. This vessel, which is 126 years old, was at the siege of Derry, is said to have been the vessel which broke the boom, and is now on her passage from Maryport to Memel.
Extract of a letter from Falmouth, June 19.
Friday the Washington, American East-India-man, of 750 tons, through the folly or villainy of two pilots she had taken on board, went on shore on the Lizard Point; the ship will be lost. She was esteemed the finest ship belonging to the States; her cargo which can be got at is bringing up here, consisting of bales of silk, mullins, India hemp, &c. It is supposed about 300 tons of sugar, and a great quantity of rice, will be wholly destroyed, the whole estimated in the country at 55,000l. The Captain had sugar on board to the amount of 14,000 dollars uninsured. She came from Calcutta, but whether for the account of the English Company or not cannot be known. The pilots are abandoned.
Mrs. Williams, the famous London Prophetess, has written a pamphlet against the melancholy predictions of Brothers, now in confinement. She utterly rejects the assertions of Brothers; and amongst other things, foretells of France that it will be governed by a King, order to be reinstated, and religion and morality again assume their right. From whatever source such opinions are drawn, they are far from being improbable, though they may not be prophetic.
The invaluable Statues recovered from the ruins of Gabii, by the late Lord Cnelmsford and Mr. Gavin Hamilton, are demanded by the French. Thus Lord Grenville, who was bequeathed them by his father-in-law, is at length scratched by the war.
Mr. Whitbread, who, for a great part of his life, was known to have given away 4000l. per annum, in private charities, has now left some large endowments to public institutions. His fortune, notwithstanding these truly honourable abatements, will nett his children nearly a million sterling; and his noble son, with the chief share of his father's property, inherits the whole of his benevolent nature.
A valuable mine of silver has lately been found in Shalce Mountain, in the county of Tipperary, and is working by a son of Sir E. Newenham; the ore is stated to be of a superior quality to any ever before discovered in Ireland.
A proclamation has been addressed to the Milanese by General Buonaparte, which proves that the French, to assist their progress, are obliged to have recourse to the system of Terror. Talking of the insurrection at Pavia, Buonaparte writes thus to the Directory—"Three times the order to set fire to the city had escaped my lips, when I beheld the garrison of the castle arrive, who, breaking their fetters, came with cries of joy to embrace their deliverers. I ordered them to be called over; not one of them was wanting.—If the blood of a single Frenchman had been shed, I would have crested on the ruins of Pavia a column, upon which I would have inscribed— 'Here the City of Pavia was!' " "I shot all the Municipality!—arrested 200 hostages, and sent them to France. Now every thing is perfectly tranquil; and I believe this lesson will be sufficient for the government of all the people of Italy!"
Sixty thousand pounds of prize-money are about to be distributed among the land forces who were engaged in the capture of Port-au-Prince, St. Domingo, on the 4th of June, 1794. The proportions are as follows:
Table with 2 columns: Rank/Position, Amount (£). Field Officers, &c. 1102 10 0 each. Captains, &c. 162 10 9. Lieutenants and Ensigns, 62 7 2. Serjeants, 29 16 9. Corporals, Drums, Privates, 4 12 1.
At the final close of the poll for the county of Kent, the numbers were as follows—
Table with 2 columns: Name, Votes. For Sir Edward Knatchbull, 5202. Sir William Geary, 4418. Mr. Filmer Honeywood, 4280. Whereupon the two Baronets were declared duly elected.
The Royal Society have adjudged a premium of 50 guineas for the discovery of a tube, which in indigestive cases is thrust down into a cow's stomach, and prevents suffocation.
PACHE.
The ci-devant Mayor of Paris, and once Minister of War, was arrested this evening, at a house in Germyn-street. He has been for some time in this town, under the name of Dupre. A few days ago he was discovered in an obscure lodging in the street already mentioned, and taken into custody by a warrant from the Duke of Portland. After undergoing an examination, he was ordered to quit the kingdom pursuant to the Alien Bill. Pache received the order with great reluctance, and represented the state of insecurity that he would be in, in any other part of Europe.—Finding this objection ineffectual, he urged the indisposition of his wife, as a motive for being allowed a short interval of delay; but he was told his request could not be complied with, and that he must prepare himself immediately for departure. When the messenger took him into custody, he expressed a wish to retire to an apartment for a few minutes. He was followed, and it was discovered that he attempted to burn his papers. The messenger prevented him, by immediately affixing the official seal.—Pache is one of those concerned in Ba- leux's conspiracy. An order was issued for his arrest, when he was fortunate enough to escape. His character is well known as a Terrorist, under the name of the Patriot, 1789. He was the successor of Pethion, as Mayor of Paris; and on the fall of Robespierre, was arrested, and sent to the Castle of Ham, after which he was soon liberated.
NEWCASTLE, June 18.
From the Calcutta Monthly Journal, Jan. 1796.
Lieut. Campbell, and Dr. Phillips of this establishment, are to go to New South Wales with the Britannia. The object of their going thither, we understand to be, to procure recruits for the Company's European battalions, from among the men who have gone through the period assigned them to remain at New South Wales.
Letters have been received by the late arrivals from the eastward, which mention that an insurrection of the Chinese, of an alarming nature, had taken place at Batavia—Thirty thousand of these industrious, but much oppressed people, are said to have recourse to arms; and being joined by a numerous body of slaves, of all the nations of the East, to have spread terror and alarm throughout the whole of the districts in the vicinity of Batavia. The particular circumstances which led a mild and inoffensive people, to measures of such apparent desperation, are not particularised.
Extract of a letter from the Cape of Good Hope, dated April 16, 1766.
"This Colony is in a state of perfect tranquillity, notwithstanding some vague rumours of riot and sedition in some particular districts; circulated on very slender ground by delusive or designing people.—One of the richest of the Dutch prizes, laden with pepper, spices, sugar, and coffee, was lost on Monday last upon a sunken rock off Cape-Bona, in going round from hence to False-Bay. She reached the shore afterwards, but the cargo is totally lost."
Law Intelligence.
Saturday a verdict of 200l. damages was given to Mr. Burton against Mr. Cartwright (the husband of Mr. Burton's sister) for seducing his wife's affections, though no case of adultery was ever proved. Lord Kenyon observed, that by seducing the wife's affections, the situation of the husband was worse than if that act had passed; because then law would supply means of ridding him of his wife, whereas at present he was burdened with a wife in whom no confidence could be placed, and his domestic happiness was destroyed.
LONDON, June 21.
The Princess of Wales was at the Opera on Saturday, and in Hyde Park yesterday; at both places she wore a countenance "more in sorrow than in anger."—All hopes of accommodation are vanished.
The Prince of Wales resided with the Duke of Clarence at Richmond during the negotiation last week, and set out for the Grange on Saturday, the treaty having broken off. Her Royal Highness, it is said, went to the Opera by the express desire of the King. The Prince means to make his first appearance in public at Winchester Races.
It is said that the negotiation for a reconciliation broke off on the following point: The Prince consented to the dismissal from his household of all the parties whose conduct has given offence to her Royal Highness, but insisted that they should be received as visitors at Carlton House. To this the Princess, by the advice of the King, positively refused her assent. The Queen thought the proposition very reasonable.
The _____ of _____ was in town incog. on Friday night, when he gave his ultimatum to the Duke of Leeds and Earl Moira, viz. that nothing can move him from the line he has adopted: he complained with muchasperity of the violation of compact for the full discharge of his debts, under which he was induced to consent to the union. Lord M. asked him whether he had reflected upon all the consequences which might ensue? to which he answered, "Most seriously, my Lord, and am prepared for them to their fullest extent!"
The Duchess of York paid a long visit this evening to the Princess of Wales, at Carleton-House.
It is reported, that a distinguished and amiable Female will certainly leave England, soon after the meeting of Parliament, and that her departure has even been required by her relatives on the continent.
There will be a legal question of great importance to settle in case of the separation of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Will her Royal Highness be entitled to her full dower of 50,000l. a year as a separate maintenance?
The Prince of Wirttemberg is to set out on his journey for England, to receive the fair hand of the Princess Royal, the latter end of the present month.
The expence of the marriage of the Prince of Wirttemberg, including dower, cloaths, jewels, &c. will be about 160,000l.
The Parliament of Ireland is further prorogued to the 2d of August.
Sir Joshua Vanneck, Bart. is created Baron Huntingfield.
Robert Smith, Esquire, is created Baron Carington.
June 23.
Baron Muller from Germany, and Monsieur Malvett from Paris, were yesterday introduced to his Majesty at the Levee. It is understood in the best informed circles, that both these gentlemen are employed on the part of their Imperial and Catholic Majesties to prevail upon our Cabinet to give its consent to negotiation for a general peace.
Lord Macartney, we understand, goes Governor to the Cape of Good Hope, and not to India, as has been erroneously reported.
The Stadtholder received by the last mail letters from both the princes, his sons, who are now in military commands on the continent. The hereditary princess is at the King of Prussia's Court.
Previous to Mr. Pitt's leaving town, it was determined in council, that Parliament should not be summoned to meet on the 12th of July next, according to the return of the new writs. Notice to this effect was yesterday sent off to several of the Scotch and other members in distant parts of the country, who were preparing to come to town. The new Parliament will not meet for dispatch of business sooner than the early part of November.
This sudden change in political affairs is to be attributed to another determination; that of not granting an Imperial loan.
Yesterday the subscribers to the last new loan of seven millions and a half, made good their third

payment of 150. per cent. on the whole of that capital at the bank.
On Tuesday advice was received at Calais from Paris, that preliminaries of peace between the Court of Vienna and the French Republic had been signed; and in consequence of which intelligence, there were great rejoicings in every town from Paris to Calais.
In confirmation of this intelligence, L'Eclair of the 19th inst. has the following paragraph, under the head PARIS:
"The report that preliminaries of peace with Austria are signed was spread yesterday evening throughout all Paris, and is repeated this day. We are assured it is at Basse that they have been executed, and that the Directory accepted them the night before last. If this news be true, there will immediately be something official on this head."
Thus, then, a war which is said to have been undertaken by some of the continental powers for the purpose of dismembering France, is likely to terminate in severing from the Empire large and fruitful provinces; for it may easily be foreseen, that the French government will adhere to its system of making the Rhine the boundary of France, and that it will not be possible to obstruct the execution of this plan.
Whether, deserted as we are by our allies, and every other circumstance considered, the British cabinet will deem it expedient or safe to continue the war singly against France, a short time must discover. It is evidently the opinion of the monied men in the city, that it will not; for on the ground of the emperor's pacific disposition, stocks have experienced a considerable rise.
Yesterday arrived Paris journals to the very late date of the 19th inst. inclusive.
According to the accounts detailed, very much at length, in these papers, it appears, that the career of the French is not less successful on the Rhine than it has been in Italy. The French, however, are so much in the act of exaggeration of the losses of the enemy, and mean suppression of those sustained by themselves, that we know not what degree of credit to attach to their details; though the success of their operations seems undoubted. They give accounts of a battle at Altenkirchen, on the 5th, in which they took 3,700 prisoners, five pair of colours, nine pieces of cannon, and two general officers; and estimate the loss at 1,500 on both sides. At Berckenfeld and Oberstein, the Austrians were compelled to retreat to Bingen, on the heights of which the French state that their armies have taken an advantageous position. At Nieder-Lahnstein, Pfostendorf and Hercheim, other actions took place; in which the Austrians are stated to have lost 500 prisoners, and 23 pieces of cannon. Jourdan, it is added, has passed the Rhine, with his principal forces, in the environs of Audernach, Coblenz, and Neustadt; at which latter place he has fixed his head-quarters.
Milan makes a more formidable resistance than could be expected. The fortress is garrisoned by Gen. de Sales, with 4,000 men. He is invested by 12,000 French; but his reply to the summons is, that while he has a man remaining he will not surrender. The French were prepared to give the assault at the latter end of May.
Beaulieu, reinforced, has taken a strong position with 14,000 men, that covers Lake de Garde and enables him to succour Mantua.
Mantua is garrisoned by 10,000 men, amply provided with necessaries. At Trent and Roveredo there is an immense quantity of horses and baggage, which are to be sent into the interior. The monied men come forward very liberally to defray the expense.
The Italian Gazettes say that the Monks of our Lady of Loreto have embarked with her precious wardrobe. The most moderate travellers estimate the treasure of this church at more than 150 millions of livres. The list of the various articles it contains forms a volume.
A contribution for 200,000 Zechins has been laid upon the Jews at Modena. Many of the Nobility at Milan have had their arms erased from their coaches, &c. and others serve in the national guard. Ten waggons loaded with money, have already been sent from that city for Paris.
A letter from Madrid, dated April 26, says, "They are making at this time a levy of 60,000 men throughout all the estates of his majesty. There has been formed at Aranjuez a Council of 21 Generals, to digest a new plan and regulation for this army. We understand, likewise, that in three departments of the Marine, Cadiz, Ferrol, and Cartagen, they have put in requisition the sailors of the neighbouring ports, and that they are equipping their best ships. Troops are continued to be sent to Cadiz, who go from thence to reinforce the camp of St. Roch. All those dispositions seem to announce a prospect of war."
The Spaniards have five millions sterling coming home in the course of the summer, which is very well known to the Directory at Paris. This may account for the mysterious conduct of the Cabinet of Madrid towards this country.
The clergy of Gracow have lately delivered a statement of their revenues to the Emperor, with an invitation to appropriate as much as he pleases for the prosecution of the war.
The merchants in Lombardy have sent a vast quantity of silk to Vienna and other places for safety; the manufactory of that article being stopped, the price is daily rising.
The Michael Archangel Russian frigate, of 46 guns, capt. Brown, sailed from Leith Roads on Sunday last, to cruise in the North seas.
Six Dutch frigates and a cutter are fitted by the captain of the Lion armed cutter to have lately failed from Flushing for the Texel.
A letter from the Hague, dated June 7, says, "It is with the utmost impatience we expect the confirmation of the intelligence received here, that admiral Richery's squadron has joined the Dutch fleet, which, under the orders of rear-admiral Lucas, is gone to the East-Indies to re-conquer the Cape of Good-Hope."
An article from Toulon, dated June 4, says, "The English fleet is still stationed before our port. They are waiting for two frigates which are destined to carry Aubert-Lubayet to Constantinople."
No vessel can enter the harbour but by mere accident. They take our ships under our very batteries; they have lately taken the corvette L'Unité, in the port of Bonn, on the coast of Barbary."
Extract of a letter from Dover—June 21. "Arrived the Caroline, Inglis, from Charleston; and the Minerva, capt. Turner, from Boston. Above twenty passengers landed from these vessels; among whom was Christ. Gore, Esq. Commissioner from the United States of America, appointed to bring over, and finally adjust, the treaty of Commerce between that country and this. Mr. Gore left Dover this afternoon, for London. Above 1000 ship letters were landed from the above vessels, and forwarded by this evening's mail."
The arrival of the Abercrombie, capt. Gillmore, and Berwick, capt. M'Paget, off Falmouth, both from Bengal, was yesterday announced at the India house. The former left Bengal the 1st of January; and the latter sailed from thence the 2d February, and from St. Helena the 2d May; where the Princess Amelia, London, and Barwell from Bombay, were still waiting for convoy.
By the arrival of the above ships we are happy to learn, that the army in India was perfectly tranquil and quiet. Several officers, who had been most violent, intreated forgiveness; and it was generally believed, every difference between the Government and the army was in a fair way of being amicably settled.
The Company's ships Walsingham, Lansdowne, Oxford, and Woodcote were preparing to leave Bengal.
Instead of the troops on board the Indiamen at St. Helen's being to be disembarked, as has been reported, we understand that more troops are ordered to embark on board the Walter Boyd, Royal Admiral, and a third ship, ordered on Wednesday from the Downs to Portsmouth, by Telegraph orders sent to Deal; and these ships are to sail with the others that have been so long waiting for a fair wind at St. Helen's.
Capt. Martin of the Santa Margareta, arrived on Friday last at Greenock from Cork, for the purpose of taking possession of the Jason Dutch Frigate.
The Purser of the Thames reports, that since she had been in the service of the French she had taken 136 prizes, and 60 while he was on board.
The last extraordinary meeting of the Whig Club voted 500 guineas towards the expenses of Mr. Fox's election for Westminster; the Duke of Northumberland subscribed 500 guineas, the Duke of Bedford 300, and several other of the Minionry Noblesse, &c. in proportion: the whole sum raised for this purpose amounts to 3500l.
The expenses of Mr. Honeywood, in the election for Kent, are calculated to fall little short of 30,000l. those of Sir F. Geary touch on 60,000l.
There is an extraordinary summons for a meeting of the Whig Club, to recommend a subscription in order to commence a scrutiny into the votes of Sir W. Geary on the late Kent election.
The crops of wheat and other corn were never spoken of as being in better condition than at the present time. The hay season has been remarkably productive all over the kingdom.—But who are to reap the benefit of these crops?—and when?
For the late Mr. Whitbread's Brewery, a company of gentlemen have offered 350,000l. Mr. Whitbread, jun. who wishes to decline the business, asks 500,000l. sterling.
Pache, the Frenchman who was apprehended on Tuesday evening in Germyn-street, was one of the six of the Executive Council, who on the 28th of January, 1793, signed the warrant for the execution of the unfortunate Louis.
BRISTOL, June 27.
From our London Correspondent, Saturday night, June 25, 1796.
"Private advices received this evening represent the Austrian victory and retreat of the French as being the cause of the loss of 3000 men to General Jourdan, and that the Austrians were every hour expected to re-cross the Rhine and the Sieg, in the pursuit of the Republicans."
"A Paris paper received to-day, says, the intended journey of Gen. Pichegru to Stockholm, was not to negotiate, but to exert his military talents against the Russians, which has been prevented by English gold and the machinations of Pitt.—Our government now in their turn refuse to acknowledge the Swedish Envoy, viz. an agent to the Empress but Vive la Republique—the French Hercules is invincible."
The Isabella, Given, of this port, was cut off at Melimba, on the coast of Africa, by the slaves. The Captain being on shore trading, was saved, as were also the Chief-mate and five others of the crew, who jumped overboard and were picked up by a Liverpool trader.
The William, Bent, of Liverpool, was cut off in Congo river, on the coast of Africa, the 20th of March; the Master and people, except two, got on board the Britannia.
DEFEAT OF THE FRENCH ON THE RHINE.
We early this morning received Paris Journals to the 22d inst. inclusive. From gen. Jourdan's letter, it appears that the French have been defeated on the right bank of the Rhine by the archduke Charles. It is certainly not to be expected that a French general will give a faithful account of the disasters experienced by his own army; but still there is sufficient in the letter of Jourdan to warrant a conclusion that the defeat which he sustained has been of some magnitude. This indeed is evident from the avowed consequences of the action; Jourdan having been reduced to the necessity of recrossing the Rhine with precipitation, and Kober who had rapidly advanced to the banks of the Nahe, having been compelled to fall back to the Sieg.
It should not escape our readers notice, that in a former campaign the Sieg and the Lahn were the places where the Republican army met with a severe check.
The retreat of General Wurmser, and of the Archduke, from Hundsruck, it now appears, were skillful manoeuvres to enable them to attack the French, on the right bank of the Rhine, with more advantage.
The Prince of Wales gives daily proofs that he has a mind which soars above those little puerilities that come under the denomination of decency. On
Wednesday he diverted himself with driving Mrs. Jordan about Richmond, and its vicinity.
An illustrious Personage will listen to no terms of accommodation which have not for their basis the restoration of a certain Countess to the supreme controul of his Countess's household; to which an injured and insulted P— is most solemnly and becomingly refuses to accede.
Lady Jersey, though she still retains the nominal office of Lady of the Bedchamber to the Princess of Wales, has certainly received her dismissal from the Public, who, as well as her Royal Mistress, have dispensed with her attendance at Carlton-House.
If a certain Lady carries her point, and is admitted to Carlton House, it will be the only good company in which she will be admitted, after the cruelty and impropriety of which she is suspected.
According to intelligence from Constantinople, a good understanding between Spain and the Porte seems to increase. It is even said, that Spain has promised her assistance in preventing ships of war going into the Mediterranean hostile to the Porte. The Spanish trade to the Levant is said to have undergone a considerable augmentation.
Yesterday a Board was held at the Admiralty Office, Charing-Cross, when a 74 gun ship and a frigate were ordered to be commissioned.
From the Star of June 8.
With infinite satisfaction we announce, that the treaty between Great-Britain and the United States of America has at last received the ratification of the House of Representatives by a majority of three voices, there being for the treaty 51, and against it 48. In consequence the House on the 3d of May passed "a Bill for making appropriations towards defraying the expense of carrying into effect the treaty lately concluded between the United States and Great-Britain."
Mr. Linton, with his lady, arrived at New-York at the propitious moment when the ratification of the treaty was announced.
This intelligence, so highly important to the mercantile world, was brought to Glasgow by the Fanny, Captain Braine, in 23 days from New-York.
PARIS, June 4.
New endeavours are made to corrupt the military. The soldiers fill the public houses, and after the retreat is beaten, they parade the streets, enter the shops, fix themselves the prices of the articles they want, and menace with their sabres the tradesmen who refuse to deliver them.
16 Prairial, June 5.
The Cardinal Costa d'Arignaud, archbishop of Turin, is dead. We are assured that the fear of seeing the French in Turin, hastened his death; the Pope, much older than him, may well share the same fate.
BY THIS DAY'S MAILS.
BOSTON, August 17.
Benjamin Hichborn, Esq. of this town, who has resided some years in France, arrived from that Republic since our last.—He left France the 17th June, and was on his passage captured by La Raison, British frigate, Capt. Beresford; the vessel he was in was ordered for Halifax, and Mr. H. was taken on board the frigate, where he remained four days, and then took passage in the Hynde, Capt. Hodges, from Calcutta, for Salem; where he arrived on Sunday. Mr. H. speaks in very handsome terms of the polite and gentleman-like conduct of Capt. Beresford, when on board La Raison.
The political news by Mr. H. is but a few days later than before received. Peace between Austria and France was expected, notwithstanding the actions on the Rhine, which were but partial; and by no means involved any serious consequences. The development of the conspiracy of Drouet, &c. was not completed.
The American ambassador at Paris, is respected and esteemed; and the French government have the same idea of the prerogatives of an independent nation, that we have.—They know they have a right to form any national compacts they please, without consulting us; and they know the United States have an equal right. They appear to wish for peace, and to cultivate the friendship of all nations.

Cochran, informing that he conceived it his duty to take the vessel, and wished that proof of property, &c. if really American, might be sent to Halifax. This was done, and the vessel cleared—Defendants to pay costs.
NEW-YORK, August 19.
We learn from St. Bartholemews, by a vessel arrived on Monday, that the inhabitants of Berbice and Demarara invited the English to take possession of these places, which will bring down the vengeance of France and Holland; and it is supposed that their property will be entirely confiscated. St. Vincents is peaceable, except to a few Charibs in the mountains: Grenada is also placed in a more agreeable situation than formerly; their fate, however, depends a good deal on the situation of St. Lucia, and that island is not so effectually reduced as to place it out of danger. At least 2,000 men are concealed in the mountains, and will soon be troublesome to the captors again. The inhabitants of the other English islands are revived a little, in consequence of the reinforcement under Abercrombie; but they are now reduced to half their number. A reinforcement from Presqu'isle had arrived at St. Kitts, of about 600 men. An attack, it was supposed, was intended against St. Lucia and St. Martins; but if they can protect these islands, it will be well; as Hugues has been very quiet this some time, waiting for a lurch. Great praise is given Mr. Murlet, Commissary of St. Eustatia, for his humane conduct to the inhabitants of that island—one of the first traits of a distinguished and brave officer.
Capt. Bunker, who arrived here on Tuesday, informs, that the French frigate La Pensee, reported some days ago to have been in action with two English frigates or sloops of war, is since proved to have been an action near Montserrat with the English frigate Beaulieu, Capt. Laforey, of 44 guns.

Treasury of the United States. NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sums due from the United States, or Stock, bearing a present interest of six per centum per annum.
1st. That pursuant to an Act of Congress passed on the 28th day of April, 1796, entitled an act in addition to an act, entitled "An act making further provision for the support of public credit, and for the redemption of the public debt," the said debt or Stock will be reimbursed and paid in manner following, to wit: "First, by dividends to be made on the last days of March, June and September for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight inclusive, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital. Secondly, by dividends to be made on the last day of December for the present year, and from the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety-seven, to the year one thousand eight hundred and seventeen inclusive, at the rate of three and one half per centum upon the original capital; and by a dividend to be made on the last day of December, in the year one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, of such sum, as will be then due, according to the contract, for the final redemption of the said Stock."
2d.
