TREASURY DEPARTMENT, JULY 19th, 1796. (CIRCULAR.) TO THE COLLECTORS OF THE CUSTOMS.
SIR, THE inclosed act for the relief and protection of American seamen, passed at the last session of Congress, having neither ascertained what proof of citizenship shall be in any case deemed sufficient, nor how such proof shall be authenticated to authorize a delivery of the certificate of citizenship, in that act prescribed; the President of the United States has thought it expedient, to the end, that States may be an easy, certain and uniform mode of executing the law in these particulars, to give some general instructions upon the subject, which I am by him directed to communicate to all the Collectors, for their rule and government. They are as follows: Persons of the following description are to be registered and furnished with certificates of citizenship: 1st. Free white persons born within the limits of the United States, or any of them, and free white persons born in any foreign country, but actually settled within the limits of the United States on the third day of September, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty three. 2d. Persons naturalized pursuant to the laws of any of the United States, prior to the twenty-ninth day of January, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five. 3d. Persons naturalized pursuant to the law of the United States, passed on the twenty-sixth day of March, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety, while it was in force. 4th. Persons naturalized pursuant to the laws of the United States, passed on the twenty-ninth day of January, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five. 5th. Children of Citizens of the United States, or any one of them born at any place out of the limits of the United States. 6th. Children of naturalized citizens, dwelling in the United States, and under twenty-one years of age, at the time of such naturalization.
Proofs of citizenship in the several cases before mentioned, to be produced to the collectors respectively, prior to their issuing certificates of citizenship, are to be of the kind, and to be authenticated as follows: 1st. Every person claiming citizenship, as a native of the United States, is to produce an extract from the register of births or baptisms, where such is kept, in the civil or religious society, to which the applicant belongs, certified by the proper officer of such society, in the usual manner, and supported by the affidavit of at least one credible witness, testifying that the applicant was born within the limits of the United States, and describing the county and state in which he was born. 2d. Every person claiming citizenship, by virtue of an actual settlement within the United States, on the third day of September, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty three, shall produce the affidavit of at least one credible witness, testifying that the applicant was actually settled within the United States, on the third day of September, in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty three, and describing the town or county, and state in which he was then settled. 3d. In cases where citizenship is claimed by virtue of any naturalization, pursuant to the laws of any one of the United States, prior to the twenty-ninth day of January, in the year one thousand seven hundred and ninety five, or pursuant to the laws of the United States, the same shall be proved by a copy of the law or record, (as the case may be) certified under the hand of the proper Officer; and in case of a record of a court, it is to be authenticated also under the seal of the Court, if any seal is used. 4th. In cases where citizenship is claimed by persons as being children of citizens of the United States, or any of them, born out of the limits of the United States, the citizenship of the parents under whom the applicants claim, shall be proved as before prescribed, in like manner as if the citizenship was claimed by the parents themselves; and further, it must be proved by the affidavit of at least one credible witness, that they are reputed and believed to be the children of the persons under whom they derive their citizenship. 5th. In cases where citizenship is claimed by persons in virtue of the naturalization of their parents, such naturalization shall be proved in the manner before directed, and in addition thereto, the applicants are to produce respectively the affidavits of one credible witness in each case, testifying that they are reputed children of naturalized citizens of the United States, or of some one of them, and did reside within the United States, and were under twenty-one years of age at the time their parents respectively were naturalized. The affidavits before mentioned, may be taken before, and certified by any judge, magistrate, or other officer of the United States, duly authorized by law to administer an oath or affirmation.
FREDERICKSBURG, July 27.
The following truly melancholy and distressing circumstance, was obligingly communicated to us by a friendly correspondent: About three years since, William Clift, a resident of King-George county, was unfortunately bit by a mad-dog, as also several dogs, cattle, hogs, &c. which in a short time died, the unfortunate man never until within a few days past, when he was seized with the first symptoms, which increased and affected him in a most distressing manner. A fight perhaps more horrid could not present itself to the human imagination, than to see him, with savage rapacity, unfeelingly devour his own flesh like a cannibal, and howl like the poor brute that stung him, until repeated convulsions terminated his existence. At different times in the interval since he was bit, until his last attack, he has shown some signs of melancholy. The above is a lamentable proof how long this horrid infection of canine madness will lay dormant
in the human constitution, and at last break out and destroy the unhappy victim.
Philadelphia, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 5. The Prices Current will be inserted to-morrow.
Translated from the COURIER FRANCAIS of this Morning.
By the brig Six Brothers in 46 days from Port de Paix, we have received the following intelligence: Bombarde is evacuated by the English, and a garrison is since formed from that port to Port de Paix. The French frigate the Medusa has taken during a short cruise 8 prizes, among which is a transport with 450 troops bound from the Moie to Port au Prince with a full equipage, and another vessel with 60 horses. The frigate Infurgente has returned and made several prizes in her voyage from New-York to the Cape. Two ships and a frigate have failed, (their destination unknown) having on board 150 of the troops which arrived from France. Paget, appointed General of Division is gone with Rochambeau General in Chief of the Spanish part of Hispaniola to take the command at Santo Domingo.
Future progress of the French in Germany, from the AURORA.
As Gen. Kleber advances towards the river Mein, the Republican troops stationed on the left bank of the Rhine, will cross the latter river, and follow the victorious advanced guard into the heart of the German Empire. The 3000 men quartered between Cologne and Coblenz had already crossed the Rhine at Bonne and Neuvied; the 30,000 Republicans posted between Coblenz and Bingen, will have crossed the Rhine at Caub between Bingen and Kniesfeld, the greatest part of the centre of the Republican army composed of 90,000 men and led on by Jourdan, and Marceau will follow the same road; the intrepid Moreau, at the head of 80,000 men, will force the passage of the Rhine above Mannheim, near Kehl; and by this manoeuvre he will bring the Austrians between two fires. The Republican army assembled in the vicinity of Basle, will attempt to invade Suabia by crossing the Rhine under the cannon of the fortress of Huningen; and the important result of all these operations will be peace with the German Empire and the Emperor, on the terms dictated by the French Republic.
MR. FENNO,
IN this lying period, it may be important to the cause of truth and the interests of our country, to refresh the memories of the indefatigable enemies of both, with some facts which are recorded in the annals of Congress. In this point of view, I consider the following, which appeared in a late Keating paper. If some of your correspondents would take the trouble to examine the public records during the early stages of the Revolution, they would be able to furnish a series of transactions that would serve to unmask the characters of those "zealous patriots", who are incessantly maligning the real patriots of our country.
From the Kentucky Gazette.
27th September, 1779. Mr. Jay was appointed as minister to the court of Spain. 4th and 17th October, 1780. Mr. Jay was instructed by Congress, to insist on the navigation of the Mississippi, and present boundary. 15th April, 1782, on the motion of the delegates of Virginia, Mr. Jay was instructed by Congress to offer to Spain the exclusive navigation of the Mississippi, without condition. New Jersey and Maryland not then represented. New-York division. Massachusetts, Connecticut, and North Carolina opposed. The other states in favour. In June, 1781, Franklin, Jefferson, Jay, and Laurens, joined with Adams to treat of peace; and Adams's powers to treat of commerce, repealed.
Mr. Jay, of his own caution, on making the offer under these instructions, annexed a condition, that Spain, to avail herself of it, should, before peace with Great Britain, make a treaty with the United States, similar to our treaty with France. 30th April, 1782, Congress being advised of the conditional offer made by Mr. Jay, approve it, and direct him to request loans, &c. 6th August, 1782, Congress annul the former instructions to Mr. Jay, and direct him to treat with Spain as provided by the separate article with France. Mr. John Adams sole commissioner from the United States to Great Britain for peace and commerce, 1779. Commissioners for peace instructed to exclude the Fisheries and Mississippi from the ultimatum. 8th June, 1781, Virginia proposed the Ohio as the N. W. boundary of the United States. New England states against it, and question lost.

NEW-YORK, August 4.
Tuesday arrived the brig Baron de Carondelet,
Capt. James M'Call, in 80 days from Leghorn,
and 36 days from Gibraltar.
Capt. M'Call failed from Leghorn, on the 13th
May last, and was boarded, 3 leagues to the west-
ward of the road, by two French privateers, one
called Rondenelle, Marcell, master, the other Te-
meraire, Pigo, master; the first plundered the ves-
sel, but more particularly a passenger on board,
they took all his trunks, bed and bed clothes, and
cash to a considerable amount, and left him only the
shirt and what clothes he had on at the time. This
was done within long gun shot of two English fri-
gates, one 40 gun ship, and two sloops of war. An
English brig called the Meduranean, that failed
in company with Capt. M'Call, took protection
under the guns of Leghorn, and so escaped. They
sent a prize master from each privateer, with ten
men on board Capt. M'Call, and at the same time
they manned a Swedish brig from Boston, bound to
Leghorn, called the Gustavus; they carried both
vessels into the Gulf of Espèce, where Captain
M'Call were detained until he sent an express to
the American Consul at Leghorn. He was clear-
ed on the 18th, as also the Swedish brig. The
same evening Capt. M'Call failed, and on the 20th
was boarded by another French privateer's boat,
with 20 men; they broke down the brig's bulk-
heads to get into the hold, broke open several pack-
ages of the cargo, on pretence to look for papers,
and did considerable damage; towards night
they left the brig, and told the captain he might
sail and steer his course.
May 21, a frigate which appeared to be English,
fired 4 guns to bring Captain M'Call to; he then
flooded for her, but in a short time she fired another
gun for him to keep his course which he did.
Capt. M'Call, left at Leghorn, the Commerce,
Isaac Isaacs, master; the Charles of Philadelphia,
William Ferguson, master; the Commerce was
bound to Baltimore, and the Charles to Hamburg.
The Rachel, Sheffield of New-York, was at Leg-
horn; she was to sail for London, loaded with
wheat.
Capt. M'Call, has brought dispatches from the
American Consul to the secretary of state, relating
to the Algerine Treaty.
June 5th, Capt. M'Call, was boarded by a Galliot
belonging to the French Republic, called the Liber-
ty, from Algiers bound to Carthagena, day before
she had taken two English vessels, one of 700 tons,
the other 200, loaded with wheat, bound to Lon-
don; the officer that came on board, told Capt.
M'Call, the American prisoners were in a misera-
ble situation, and expected to be treated worse, if
their ransom and the Treaty money, was not paid
by November.
The Algerines had taken 17 sail of Danish mer-
chantmen, and all in Algiers when the captain of
the Liberty failed.
July 21, was boarded by the Scipio, in lat. 31,
20, west from the meridian of London, 62, 36.
The lieutenant that boarded captain M'Call, said
they had taken a Bermudian privateer, that moun-
ted 18 double fortified sixes.
The following petition and certificate were handed
to publication by capt. David Grigg, of the
schooner Esther and Eliza, of this port, arriv-
ed from Port-au-Prince.
To his honor R. K. Wilford, Esq. Commander of
of his majesty's forces at Port-au-Prince.
THE PETITION OF WILLIAM JESSUP,
Master of the American ship Mercury, of New-
York, humbly sets forth,
THAT your petitioner being on his passage from
St. Marc's to this port, was laying to, about one
o'clock on the morning of the 1st inst. in company
with a number of transports and his majesty's fri-
gate Success, commanded by capt. Pigot, when
the Success wore ship and ran foul of the Mercury.
The captain of the frigate ordered his people to
cut away every thing they could lay their hands
on. The jib-boom, spritsail yard, fore stay, top-
mast stays, jib stays, flopper, shank-painters, and
two strands of his small bower cable were cut—
he further ordered his men to cut away and bring
on board the frigate, the Mercury's jib and fore-top-
mast staysail, which was done; capt. Pigot telling
his men at the same time, they would do to make
trousers. Your petitioner begged capt. Pigot for
God's sake not to cut any more than he could not
avoid, or words to that effect. Capt. Pigot forth-
with commanded his people to bring the d—d
rascal that spoke, on board the frigate. Your peti-
tioner was then seized and ordered on board the
frigate, where he remained for a few minutes, 'till
the vessels were cleared.' Capt. Pigot thereupon
desired the Boatwain's mates to give the d—d
rascal, meaning your petitioner, a good flogging.
They took hold of your petitioner and enquired
who he was: it was told he was the master of the
Mercury. Well, said captain Pigot, flog him well,
and let him flog his officers. These orders were in-
stantly obeyed, and in so severe and cruel a manner
that your petitioner was nearly bereft of his senses.
During the time your petitioner was thus brutally
beaten and ill-treated, he, your petitioner, made
use of no offensive language whatever, or no kind
of resistance, but only begged they would have
compassion on him.—No attention was paid to his
cries, but, on the contrary, they proceeded to beat
him with the same violence, until he, capt. Pigot,
was supposed to be satisfied. Your petitioner was
now again ordered in the frigate's boat, to be put
on board his ship, without ever having once exchang-
ed a word with capt. Pigot. Your petitioner ar-
rived here the same day, when he exhibited the
marks and bruises of his shocking treatment to a
number of the most respectable inhabitants and o-
thers in the town of Port-au-Prince, who all im-
partially pronounced it an outrage of the most bru-
tal and inhuman kind, as the certificate annexed to
this paper abundantly testifies.
Your petitioner, therefore, humbly prays your
honor to be pleased to interfere on his behalf, by
such representation as your Honor may think meet
to lay before the proper authority in this country,
that should take cognizance of the above affair in
such manner that he, your petitioner, may obtain
that justice and satisfaction which the nature of an
offence so glaring and unprecedented loudly calls for,
and your petitioner, as in duty bound, will ever
pray, &c. &c.
Port-au-Prince, 4th July, 1796.

WE whose names are hereunto subscribed, do
certify and attest, that having seen and viewed the
marks and lashes inflicted on the body and person
of captain Jessup, master of the ship Mercury, of
New-York, by order of capt. Pigot, commander
of his majesty's frigate Success, on the morning of
the 1st July, do declare, that the facts stated in his
petition hereto annexed, as far as the same regard
his person, are strictly conformable to truth, and
we do moreover give it as our opinion, that the
danger to be apprehended from such wanton and
barbarous treatment, is of the most imminent and
alarming nature to the person and life of capt. Jef-
sup, revolting to humanity, degrading and dishono-
rable in the highest degree to the commander of a
ship of his Britannic majesty.

WE the subscribers, passengers on board the ship
Mercury, William Jessup, declare, that when the
Success frigate ran foul of the Mercury on the
night of the 1st inst. on our passage from St.
Marc's to this port. We did not hear Capt. Jessup
utter or say any thing of an irritating or offensive
nature, but behaved in the most passive and forbear-
ing title in his answers when hailed by the Success.
That at the time he was taken from or left the
Mercury to go on board the Success, he appeared
to be in perfect health, but on his return therefrom
he was in a very suffering condition, swing to and
by reason of, as we verily believe, the sore beatings
and bruises, whereof his body and arms, which he
exhibited to us, bore the most convincing proof,
and while to our knowledge he received while on
board the above frigate Success.

FROM LATE PARIS PAPERS.
TRANSLATED FOR THE DAILY ADVERTISER.
ACCOUNT OF BABŒUF.
SINCE Babœuf has become a person of some
consequence, every one seems desirous of knowing
who he is, what he has done, of what importance
he is, and what he aimed at, by the Conspiracy.
The following letter extracted from the "Histori-
an," will answer a part of these questions.
"Francis Noel Babœuf was born in the com-
mune of St. Quentin; he is about 36 years old;
his father, a poor man employed in the excise upon
salt, had him taught to write, and he writes ex-
tremely well.
"In 1777, he left his father's house, and sought
for employment with several persons in quality of a
scrivener, or copyist; but failed in procuring any,
on account of his youth, and the want of recom-
mendations. In the mean time, he was reduced to
the most extreme distress; he was absolutely naked:
Some person through pity offered him the place of
a servant in some nobleman's family, who resided
near Roye—he accepted it—he served in that situ-
ation about 3 years. The former Lord of the es-
tate was then about renewing the registry of his
lands. Babœuf wrote well, and he employed him
in the business; he did not want for penetration, he
applied himself diligently, and became a pretty good
feudalist. During these transactions he got a cham-
ber-maid with child and married her. His new
feudal acquirements having made him insolent, he
was turned away. Having left his new situation,
he brought a suit against his master, and lost his
cause. Instructed in the feudal business, he deter-
mined to enter into business on his own account.—
He fixed at Roye and announced himself commi-
ssioner of rent rolls.
A lady who resided at Paris, entrusted him with
the renewal of the rent-roll of a small fief which she
possessed near Roye. He performed it, received
the arrearages, rendered no account, was sued by
the lady and lost his cause. The former prior of
St. Aurin, near Roye, entrusted him with the re-
newal of the registry of his priory—he performed
it, engaged in a law-suit with the prior, and lost
his cause.
The former Marquis de Loyecourt being about
to renew the registry of his lands, gave him the di-
rection of it.—He began the work, but the insolent
letters which he wrote to the tenants having caused
complaints against him, the Marquis withdrew his
confidence from him—this displeased Babœuf, he
commenced a prosecution and lost his cause.
From that time, till the year 1789, he lived by
drawing writings for the country people. In the
beginning of the revolution he began by hawking
about and procuring signatures to a seditious pa-
per—he was arrested and conducted to the prison
at Paris.—An amnesty published by the first con-
stituent assembly restored to him his liberty—He
then commenced a journal which he quickly aban-
doned for the want of subscribers.
At the time of the Primary assemblies of 1792,
held under the sword of the Septemberizers, he
was nominated Elector of the department of Som-
me. The electoral assembly afterwards appointed
him administrator of the district of Mount Didier.
At the end of two months he committed a serious
offence in the sale of some national property. He
was prosecuted—he fled—and was condemned to
twelve years imprisonment in-iron. He then fi-
nally quit the department of Somme, and went and
buried himself in the crowd of Paris, his writings
there caused him to be arrested, and he was shut up
in the citadel of Arras: but the majority of Bru-
maire last again restored him to liberty. Such
Citizen, is the man who, when he was a servant, did
not surely doubt, but that he should, one day have
played the part of a great conspirator, and that he
should have offered to the Directory to treat with
them, as "from one authority to another." Crim-
us of liberty forbid that he should again be in a si-
tuation to prove the advantages of a third monthly.

From Capt. Lovett, of the Felton Chatham, ar-
rived last evening in 17 days from Leogane, we
obtain the following LIST OF VESSELS cap-
tured and carried into that port by the French
Captain Lovett informs us that the French cruis-
ers capture all American vessels without discri-
mination.
List of Vessels in Leogane, July 16, 1796.
Schooner Lucretia, Butts, of New-York, to
sail in five or six days.
Schooner Regulator, Stanwood, of do.
Sloop Nancy, Smayle, of Philadelphia, brought
in by a French barge; not libelled.
Brig Triton, Plinn, of ditto. Vessel and car-
go libelled.
Brig Experience, Hoosen, of do. Vessel and
cargo libelled.
Brig Eliza, Arnold, Wilmington. Vessel and
cargo libelled.
Sloop Britannia, Young, North Yarmouth—
Vessel and cargo libelled.
Schooner Ann, Gibbs, Boston, with a cargo
of horses, bound to Port-au-Prince—Vessel and
cargo libelled, his horses for the English.
Schooner Hannah, Phillips, of Baltimore, to
sail in four or five weeks.
The above vessels were taken and libelled for no
other reason than that of being bound to Port au-
Prince, as their cargoes consisted of provisions, dry
goods and lumber.
Capt. Lovett informs that the schooner Clüzen,
of Baltimore, was robbed off Cape-May, by a
French privateer, of 4,504 dollars.
In the schooner Chatham, Capt. Lovett, from
Leogane, came passenger Capt. John Bullis, of the
sloop Ann of New London, who informs, that
she was taken by the English sloop of war, the
Bull Dog, and carried into Portola, and condem-
ned on the 1st of April. Cargo consisting chiefly
of coffee, cotton and sugar. Supposes had he
been taken by any other English vessel would not
have been used in the same manner; confirms the
news of the French capturing all American vessels.
ALBANY, July 29.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at Oswego,
to his friend in this city, dated July 14.
"This day has been a great day to us. The Bri-
tish garrison marched out, and gave possession of
the post of Oswego, to the American troops, who
marched in with two field-pieces, planted the stand-
ard of the United States on the ramparts of the
fort, and fired a salute of 15 cannon. Our troops
were then drawn up in the centre of the fort. Mr.
McCallen had the management of the field pieces.
—We partook of a refreshment at the room of the
late British commandant, which ours now occupies.
—The British officers behaved with great polite-
ness on the occasion.—Capt. Clark, the command-
ing officer, has left us a fine garden.—Mr. Glen
will sail for Niagara, in company with the late gar-
rison, having chartered a vessel for that purpose."
Nielsen, Hoffman, and Plantain, the French-
man, broke the jail of this city, on Monday night,
and escaped. The two former were under sentence
of imprisonment at hard labor for life. The she-
riffs offers a reward of 60 dollars for their appre-
hension, or 20 dollars for either.
Plantain has broken the jail of this city and es-
caped, five several times within twelve months.
BOSTON, August 1.
LATEST FROM LONDON.
Yesterday arrived ship Concord, Capt. Colley,
56 days from the Downs.
Capt. Colley left London the 28th of May, and
the Downs the 2d of June. While he lay there,
he experienced a severe gale of wind, which did
considerable damage to the shipping there; among
others, the ship Fair American, belonging to N.
York, with her whole cargo on board, and ready
for sea, was driven on shore and lost. She had a-
bout 40 passengers on board, 18 only of which
were saved, with part of the crew: the captain was
on shore. Several English vessels were also driven
on shore. A brig from Boston, Capt. Cole, bound
for Cowes, put into the Downs the day after the
gale, which happened the 30th of May. We
have not yet received any papers, and by the Cap-
tain we learn nothing new.
Married, on Thursday evening last, by the Rev.
Dr. Thacher, James Scott, Esq. to Mrs. Hancock,
widow of his late Excellency John Hancock, Esq.
Capt. Harwood, arrived at New-York, in 15
days from the Mole, informs, that the French had
taken Fort Plessi, that the British had evacuated
Bombard, and that a force of 3000 men had left
the Mole for Port-au-Prince, an attack on which
they supposed was meditated by the French.
A letter from Port-au-Prince, of July 1, says,
"we are informed by way of St. Thomas's that
Gen. Marquis de Bouille has taken possession of
the island of St. Eustatia, with a regiment of E-
migrants, in the name of the king of Great Bri-
tain.
FROM GRENADA, JULY 5.
Capt. Stevens informs, that the English are in
full possession of Grenada, and that 47 of the
French inhabitants who had sworn allegiance to his
Britannic Majesty, at the time of its former capit-
ulation, were taken up, tried and condemned, 14
of which were executed on the 2d inst. among
which was one second in command, who met his
fate with the greatest fortitude. The remaining 33
were to be executed the Saturday following (9th
inst.)

Treasury of the United States.
NOTICE is hereby given to all persons who are or may be Creditors of the United States, for any sum of the Funded Debt , 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, intituled an act in addition to an act, intituled "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 1st 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 eight hundred and eighteen in future, at the rate of one and one half per centum upon the original capital.

2d. All distinction between payments on account of interest and principal being thus abolished by the establishment of the permanent rule of reimbursement above described, it has become necessary to vary accordingly the powers of attorney for receiving dividends; the public creditors will therefore observe that the following form is established for all powers of attorney which may be granted after the due promulgation of this notice, viz:
