March 28. Proceedings of Congress, relative to the Embargo.
A message from the President of the United States.
United States, 28th March, 1794. Gentlemen of the Senate, and of the House of Representatives.
In the execution of the Resolution of Congress, bearing date the 26th of March 1794, and imposing an embargo I have requested the governors of several states to call forth the force of their militia, if it should be necessary for the detention of vessels. This power is conceived to be incidental to an embargo.
It also deserves the attention of Congress how far the clearances from one district to another, under the law as it now stands, may give rise to evasion of the embargo. As one security, the collector, have been instructed to refuse to receive the surrender of coasting licences for the purpose of taking out registers, and to require bonds from registered vessels bound from one district to another, for
the delivery of the cargo within the United States.
It is not understood, that the resolution applies to coasting vessels, although their occupations lie generally in parts beyond the United States. But without further restrictions, there is an opportunity of their privileges being used as means of eluding the embargo.
All armed vessels possessing public commissions from any foreign power (letters of marque excepted) are considered as not liable to the embargo.
These circumstances are transmitted to Congress for their consideration.
Go: WASHINGTON.
The said message and papers were read, & committed to Mr. Dexter, Mr. Murray, and Mr. Goodhue.
Mr. Dexter from the committee to whom was referred the above message of the President of the United States, the next day reported the following resolution, which was agreed to by the House.
Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled, that during the continuance of the present embargo, no registered vessel, having on board goods, wares and merchandise, shall be allowed to depart from one part of the United States, to any other port within the same, unless the master, owner, consignee or factor, shall first give bond, with one or more sureties, to the collector of the district from which she is about to depart, in a sum of double the value of the vessel and cargo, that the said goods, wares or merchandise, shall be reloaded in some port of the United States, which bond, and also a certificate from the collector of the district where the same may be reloaded, shall, by the collectors respectively, be transmitted to the secretary of the treasury.—That the several collectors be prohibited from granting a clearance to any foreign ship or vessel, in any case whatever, during the continuance of the present embargo; and all armed vessels, possessing public commissions from any foreign power (letters of marque excepted,) are to be considered as not liable to the embargo.
A message from the senate by Mr. Otis their secretary, informed the house, that the senate have agreed to a resolution, to carry into more complete effect, the resolution directing an embargo, to which they desire the concurrence of this house.
The said resolution was considered and disagreed to.
Another message from the senate, by Mr. Otis was received, which announced that the senate have agreed to the resolution of the house, to carry into more complete effect the resolutions directing an embargo.

PARIS, December 31.
On the 19th instant the Count and Countess of Affeld and her daughter, a child nine years old, entered the Abbey prison, in order to be detained there as hostages for the French prisoners, who are in the power of the Austrians; on the 21st, Mr. Schneider, public accuser to the Revolutionary Tribunal at Strasbourg, was conducted into the same prison.
On the 25th, Dreyss, Cordier, Bonneul, the Widow Gravaud, Germain, Belliveau, and Dufour entered the prison of the Conciergerie.
The Revolutionary tribunal has condemned to death La Folle, for fraudulent actions committed in the furnishing of cloaths destined for the armies; Morin, valet de chambre to Madame du Barry, for having carried on a correspondence with the enemies of the Republic; La Bondie, commissary of the navy, and the Widow Gravaud, native of Berlin, for the same reason.
COURTRAY, Dec. 31.
The report of the evacuation of Toulon by the Allies was received here two or three days ago. We are here at present very quiet. It does not appear that there are any troops on the French frontiers between Ypres and Tournay. On the other parts of the Frontier they do not exceed 6000; nor does it appear that even Lille contains many at present. It is supposed that they are all drawn off to the side of Normandy.
From Mons down to Nieuport, we have a strong cordon of excellent troops.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Dec mber, 26. A letter from Carriere, Representative of
the people, dated Nantz, December 24, confirmed the details of the letter from Savegney; and added, that a single Rebel would not have escaped, if General Maulin had not given passports to some of them. This General is put under arrest.
The Officer who was the bearer of this letter, said, that before he left Nantz, the country people had brought in 500 Rebels, who had thrown away their arms and implored pardon. This was refused, and they were all put to death. On the road from Nantz to Ancenis, he met many detachments of volunteers and country people, who were leading along Rebels they had taken in the forests. At Ancenis, the Administrative Bodies, told him, that more than 600 had been brought in there the same day; 800 were brought to Angers; and a great number to Saumur, of whom the Representatives of the people would rid the earth by ordering them to be thrown into the Loire. The number of the killed and taken in the late actions, amounts to 30,000.
Barrere, in the name of the Committees of Public Welfare and General Safety, made a report on the mode of deciding expediently on the charges against persons under arrest. The Convention ordered it to be printed, and repealed the Decree which directed that a Commission chosen of the Committees of Public Welfare and General Safety should decide on such charges.
December 31.
The Public Functionaries in the department of Correre, had been the chief authors and promoters of the insurrection in that quarter. They have over-run the whole country, to preach a counter-revolutionary crusade, and, under pretence of the liberty of religious worship, to instigate all the inhabitants to take up arms, and to assemble at the sound of the tocsin, in order to fall upon the great communes, and exterminate the Protestants, who, they said, intended to take from them, with their Priests, their sacred vessels and their holy religion. These miscreants have now expiated their crimes. The Representative of the People, Laner, wrote from Maymas, that they had all been guillotined.
“The Tribunal,” he added, “fulfils its duty with dignity; other conspirators are now on their trial, and will be judged without delay; none of them shall escape our researches; every day throws new light on a dark and vast plot, projected by Priests. I have just learnt that many of them, disguised as poor people, over-run the country, in order to light up the torch of fanaticism, and to announce an impending famine, as a visitation of God. I am going to carry the torch of truth into those regions, and to chase from their haunts and caverns, all those wonder-working. Some fugitives from the forests of Ladozere and Aveyron are said to have taken refuge there.” Referred to the Committee of Public Welfare.
Mauite informed the Convention of the gallant behaviour of a farmer in La Vendee. This brave Republican fell into the hands of the rebels, who endeavoured to cut down the Tree of Liberty. “No, (said he) I have myself planted this Tree; it is dearer to me than my existence, I will rather die than do it the least harm.” At these words he was killed by the banditti, but his last words were, Vive la Liberte, and his last sigh, a wish of success and prosperity to the Republic. Insertion into the annals of Civism.
VIENNA, Dec. 16.
In the first audience granted on Tuesday last by the Emperor to the Marquis Luchefini; this minister declared, on the part of the King of Prussia, that his majesty would continue, with redoubled zeal, to support the operations of the coalesced powers against the common enemy. The minister then demanded, and immediately obtained, a free passage through Bohemia, for some Prussian regiments which were to join the army on the Rhine.
According to the last advices from Semlen, the commandant of that frontier employed all his attention to stop the progress and the communication of an epidemic disorder which prevailed in Servia, and chiefly at Belgrade, where five persons are already dead of the plague.
In the famous church of St. Dennis, the commissioners of the National Convention discovered a hundred vessels of agate, three score services for the altar, all of pure gold, enriched with diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and other precious stones of considerable value; exclusive of which they discovered an Unicorn's horn of an immense value, with fourteen unpolished pearls, and a cardinal's cap, valued at a hundred thousand livres, besides many other ornaments, and ecclesiastical appendages of inferior estimation.
LONDON, January 4.
By letters from the most respectable persons at Manchester, we understand that the House of Taylor, & Co. in that town, is in want of a thousand more weavers than it can procure—a convincing proof that the war has not affected the manufactures of this country in the manner that the Jacobins would wish to represent.

The enemies of government seem now to content themselves with general reflections against war, thereby wishing to excite a discontent against the present—but the people of this country are not now to be told, that the war in which we are at present engaged differs in its principle from every other that we were ever embarked in: It is a war for the preservation of our lives, and liberties, our property, and our religion; and upon the issue will depend the future permanent happiness or misery of this country.
According to Mr. Imlay's calculation, founded on authentic documents, the whole number of Indians in North America, amount to little more than 60,000.
After mentioning that Napper Tandy of Ireland, and Mr. Cooper of Manchester, were in Philadelphia; a Jacobin print thus exclaims, "This is one of the blessed effects of persecuting political opinions!" The very same remark, with similar justice, holds good in respect to George Barrington and D'Arcy Wentworth. They are victims of justice, for asserting the rights of man in opposition to the letter and spirit of the law.
One of the charges brought against Le Brun, the late minister for foreign affairs in France, was for having christened one of his daughters, in the beginning of last year, by the name of Victoire Dumourier Jenappe. From this circumstance, a proof of his intimacy and conspiracy with Dumourier was deduced.
He exhibited great presence of mind on his trial; and when sentence was pronounced against him, he exclaimed, "I have supported the Republic; I now die for the republic."
The account of the Brest fleet being out, appears very questionable. If such had been the case, we must have heard of it through many different channels; and the report rests upon the account given by one vessel only.
The Turkish Ambassador has taken an house in the Adelphi, from Doctor Turton, for one year, from the 1st of January, at 200l. a year. On Saturday evening he signed the lease; he writes a remarkably elegant Italian hand, and signs his name

Last week the Duchess of York took the diversion of Stag hunting, with the king's hounds, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, who held the leading rein of her Royal Highness's hunter during the chase.
January 6. Extract of a letter from Madrid, December 19th.
"The auxiliary corps of Portuguese troops landed the 10th inst. at Rosas, to the number of 5500 men, and have cantoned themselves in the environs of that place; we do not yet know, however, whether they will all join the Spanish army, or part of them go to Toulon. A reinforcement of Spanish troops is also expected here from Malaga, from whence they were to set off the 28th of Oct. Gen. Ricardos, having failed in his attempt on Perpignan, has been unable to maintain himself in Roussillon, and has with his army fallen back towards our frontiers, and has abandoned all the places which he was master of, except the fortress of Bellegarde. Both armies are now entrenching themselves. This campaign has cost the Spaniards, it is supposed, 1000 men, besides 10,000 who are ill in the hospitals. The French have also suffered greatly, especially by defecion."
EAST INDIES. From the Oriental Star, Printed at Calcutta.
The Phoenix, Captain Moore, just returned from the N. W. Coast of America, brings the first substantiated accounts which we have heard of the loss of the Lark, Capt. Peters, which vessel was fitted out from this port some years ago, at the commencement of those enterprising expeditions to Nootka Sound, which have since experienced such various success, and caused so serious an altercation between England & Spain. The Lark was lost on Beerings Island, off Kamchatka and several of the crew got on shore: but owing to the hardships they underwent from the inclemency of the climate, and want of necessaries, only four survived, who were relieved by a Russian vessel which carried them to Siberia, where they have met with the most humane and attentive treatment from the Russians. They are two Portuguese and two Lascars, and are still residing at Irkutsk, in Siberia.
The Phoenix found in Beals harbor a Portuguese Snow, commanded by Capt. Viana, of Macao, which had wintered on the N. W. Coast. The former Captain had been killed by the natives at Port Mulgrave, who had attempted to board the vessel.
An American ship had left a man to learn the language and trade with the natives. Captain Moore humanely supplied him with such necessaries as he could spare.
In a Bay near the Green Islands, a Russian Captain Beramhoff, who commanded a squadron of boats, came on board the Phoenix, and informed Captain Moore, that he came from Kodiak, and was cruising along the Coast in quest of the natives, for the purpose of civilizing them, according to orders from the Empress. He had also received orders to treat the English with the utmost civility: in consequence of which, he offered Captain Moore every assistance in his power to afford. The Russians were erecting some works in Cook's River. The commander mentioned that there had been no trade between Russia and China for six years, and that they got all their tea from England: that article sold in Siberia so high as nine roubles per pound.
FALMOUTH, January 5. The Portland, from Halifax, arrived late last night in 25 days passage. She has not been at New York, as they had intelligence at Halifax, it would be unsafe, from the cruisers laying off the Hook, for the express purpose of intercepting the packet from England; of course she has brought no mail from New-York.
PHILADELPHIA, APRIL 3.
Spirited measures were pursued last week by the citizens of Baltimore to carry the embargo into prompt and full effect.
The Baltimore Intelligencer of Monday last, says, "It is with much pleasure we learn, that the Executive of the United States, determined to submit no longer to the cruel persecutions of our citizens now detained in the British islands, have forwarded to the governor of Jamaica, a spirited demand of Captain Barney and others, and that a pilot-boat failed from this port very early yesterday morning for that purpose."
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Gentlemen, IT is proper to inform you, that on the 28th of February last, I issued a warrant in favor of the President and Directors of the Bank of Pennsylvania, for seventy thousand dollars, and that this day I have issued another warrant in their favor, for the sum of fifty-one thousand two hundred and forty-five dollars; which sums complete the payment of the loan borrowed from the Bank to discharge the amount of the State subscription to the capital stock of that institution. THOMAS MIFFLIN. Philad. 13th March 1794.

NEW-YORK, April 1.
Capt. Cummins, arrived here yesterday, failed from St. George's, Grenada, the 9th March: He informs us, that accounts had been received there on the 7th, by the Lady Hammond, from Martinique that the British Batteries were to open on Fort Bourbon on the morning of the 8th: That a series of heavy rains had retarded their operations, and that about fifty of the British troops had been killed in the lines by shells from the Fort—but that it was completely invested.
Capt. Cummins also informs us, that the port of Grenada is open until the 1st of May, for every article that can be admitted in British bottoms from the United States with permission to enter for exportation, any thing they may have inadmissible, and carry it away with them.
Capt. Cummins, has favored us with Grenada newspapers, to the 7th of March, from which we have copied the following under the Grenada head:
St. GEORGE'S (Gre.) March 7. The ship Mary, Capt. Molyneux, arrived here from Martinique on Monday morning. When the Mary failed, which was on Saturday, every thing was quiet at St. Pierre, and the most perfect order and regularity established among the inhabitants, who under the protection of the British arms, and the equitable command of Col. Myers, enjoyed a state of security, to which they had long been strangers. The arms of the inhabitants were demanded, and delivered up to the English, who deposited them in a magazine appropriated for that purpose. The batteries, which had been carried on with great expedition considering the immense labour they re-
quired, were completed and mounted with upwards of an hundred heavy cannon and mortars, to act against Fort Bourbon; but their fire had not commenced, not a single shot or shell having been thrown into the Fort. Sunday night, was the time appointed for the cannonade to begin, and it was the general opinion, that the place could not hold out more than 48 hours. In the whole of the arduous and fatiguing service of erecting the batteries and carrying the guns from the store-ships, for a considerable distance thro' a very difficult country, impeded by the enemy's fire from the Fort, the spirit of emulation pervaded every different corps of the British forces, and the most perfect good understanding and harmony reigned among the whole. The Midshipmen who commanded the Gun Boats, have all been promoted to the rank of Lieutenants by the Admiral, in consideration of their good conduct.
A confirmation of the above account was received by the sloop Speedwell, that failed from Martinique on Sunday afternoon, with the additional circumstance, that Belgarde had surrendered with two hundred and fifty of his people, on condition of his being sent to America; having been repulsed in an attempt he made on a party of the English who were landing stores for the siege, his retreat to his former post was cut off, by a skilful evolution, and the gates of Fort Bourbon were shut against him. In this situation several of his party escaped to the woods, a number were killed, and the remainder laid down their arms, Capt. Drew of the 45th particularly distinguished himself on the occasion.
Accounts are received of the arrival of his royal highness Prince Edward at Barbadoes, and of his proceeding immediately from thence to join the army at Martinique.
Capt. Neil, of the ship Diligence, arrived yesterday from St. Eustatia, has also favored us with the St. Eustatia Gazette, of the 7th March; the following under the Basseterre head, is the only article of intelligence we find in it.
BASSETTERRE, Feb. 28. Extract of a letter from Montserrat, February 25, 1794.
"The Lovely Mary left Roseau on Sunday last, the Sea Flower cutter arrived that morning and brings accounts that St. Pierre was taken by storm the 10th inst. with the loss of 153 British troops. The Patriots had 570 men put to the bayonet; they have embarked for Africa 2000 People of colour, and 700 whites for St. Maloes. The Marquises privateer of 28 guns and 80 sail of Americans were captured there. The French made a sortie from Fort Bourbon with 400 men and not a man of them returned. Colonel Campbell is dead of his wounds; it is supposed they will hold out about 20 days longer."

M. on the same day was boarded by the British privateer Schooner Nancy; of Tortola, Newman Atwater, master, and permitted to proceed—met with very strong northerly winds and bad weather, which induced me to bear away for Sail Rock Passage, which I passed the 16th at 11 P. M.

20th. In lat. 26, 41, long. 70, 36, at mid-night, was brought to and boarded by the privateer sloop Dove, of Bermuda, Jonah Badsen, master, who behaved with much civility and permitted me to proceed.

BOURDEAUX, Jan. 6. "There is news from Toulon, informing us, that since the capture of that place, there has gone into that port by mistake; one English 74, and between 60 and 70 sail of English and Spanish merchantmen with provisions, arms, &c. which are made prizes of." BALTIMORE.
By Captain M'Laughlan, commander of a brig arrived here in 55 days from Gibraltar, we learn that between the 1st and 14th of February last, 19 Algerine cruisers passed the Straits into the Atlantic ocean.

The resolution to take effect from the day of—laid on the table.
