FOR SALE, Between nine and ten Thousand Acres of LAND,
Situate in the county of Frederick, and state of Virginia, being the greater part of Greenway Court Manor. Part of this tract lies on the river Shenandoah, between thirty and forty miles above its junction with the Potomack. The Shenandoah is capable of being rendered navigable, and the navigation of the Potomack is in a fair way of being complicated to tide water which circumstances offer in a few years a water carriage to the flourishing towns of Georgetown and Alexandria, and to the City of Washington; from all which places the said tract is distant between seventy and eighty miles by land. The flourishing Borough of Winchester is only twelve or fourteen miles from it. Between three and four thousands acres of the land are leaved generally for terms not exceeding twenty one years, and many of the terms have only short periods to run. The remaining quantity being near six thousand acres, consists of the most valuable part of the tract being extremely rich limestone land, similar in quality to the very fertile country in Lancaster and York counties of this state, and in Frederick county of Maryland. An incontestable title will be made to the purchaser.
This tract being situated in a most healthy and fertile country, offers a most advantageous investment of money; as no part of America can exhibit a more rapid settlement and improvement, and consequently a more rapid increase in the value of real estate.
It would be particularly advantageous to a company of letterless as the part not leaved, admits of being divided into farms of any size to suit the convenience of the parties concerned.
One half of the purchase money must be paid at the time of sale, and the remaining half at early instalments with interest. Further particulars are deemed unnecessary as it is probable the land will be viewed, by any person disposed to buy before he purchases.
The price for the whole tract may be known on application to the hon. Thomas Hartley, Esq. at Yorktown, to the hon. John Wilkes Kittera, Esq. at the town of Lancaster, in this state, to Charles Lee, Esq. at Alexandria in the state of Virginia, or to the subscriber, at No. 29, north Second Street in this city, who will treat with any person or persons disposed to purchase till the fifteenth day of June next.

Valuable Property For Sale, IN THE STATE of NEW-YORK.
THAT valuable and well known Estate, called SCOTIA, situate on the north bank of the Mohawk river, directly opposite the populous and flourishing town of Schenectady, at the foot of the water-communication from the Western Country, and Upper Canada; sixteen miles from the city of Albany; extending about two miles on the bank of the river above and below the said town; this river is the only water communication in the United States with the great western Lakes. The roads from the western and northern parts of the state of New York, together with a number of other public roads here meet, and lead to the noted ferry kept opposite the said town.
It contains upwards of one thousand acres, a great proportion of which is interval or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens annually; it may be laid into a number of valuable farms, affording convenient and handsome building grounds; there is now on the premises two very large and commodious dwelling houses with large Dutch barns, barracks, hovels, stables, cart and waggon house, carriage house, store house, summer house, and other out-houses, on a commanding eminence near the bank of the river, affording a beautiful and extensive prospect of the river for several miles, the lowland, the town, and a fine lake of water, covering about thirty acres, well stored with all kinds of river fish, fowl, &c. There is a good grist mill on a never failing stream of water, a good frame house, &c. for the miller, also convenience above the mill for erecting more water works; there is a bearing orchard with nearly one thousand apple trees, set out, grafted of the best fruit, the gardens are stocked with all the various fruits the climate will admit; also several tenements with portions of land on short leases.
The land in point of fertility of soil, is excelled by none in the state; there is now in the ground near two hundred bushels winter grain, which will be included in the above sale.
Also two small islands in the river, opposite the mansion house. A view of the premises, it is presumed, will fully equal any description that can be given thereof.
For terms of sale apply to the Subscriber, residing on the premises, Messrs. Oliver Wendell or Harrison G. Otis, Esquires, in the town of Boston, Cornelius Ray, or De Witt Clinton, Esquires, at the city of New York; James Gordon or Henry Glen, Esquires, two of the members of Congress, at the city of Philadelphia; Stephen N.

EXTRACTS
From late French Papers.
PARIS, February 5.
They write from the Department of the maritime Alps, that citizen Bermond, an enlightened Farmer, has been directed to naturalize different vegetables in that quar- ter, such as indigo, cotton, and the sugar cane—The latter was cultivated in the Isles of Hieres in the 15th century, and it is supposed was then abandoned through ignorance of curing and granulating the juice.
The new culture was begun several months since, and at this time there are great hopes of success.
The 13th December, a marine painter, citizen Royer, presented to the Conven- tion two pictures, one representing the battle of la Montagne, the Admiral's ship, with a number of English ships—and the devoting or sinking of the crew of the Vengeur. The other, the burning of the unhappy city of Cape-Francois, executed by the civil Commissioners Sonthonax and Polverel, painted from nature.
The Convention accepted of the pre- sent, and sent these pictures to the Com- mittee of Public Instruction.

THEATRICAL REGISTER—No. 2.
April 21st.
THE Comedy of the "English Mer- chant," with the Farce of the "Two Misers," was last night presented to a re- spectable audience. Mrs. Marshall as Amelia, in the comedy, claimed the at- tention, and awakened the feelings of the spectators. Her interesting countenance, her soft melodious voice, and pathetic manner, could not be overlooked even by the stoic eye of apathy. Mrs. Francis, in our opinion, gave Molly too high a co- louring. Molly, tho' a chambermaid, should temper her vivacity with feasibility; lively, but not pert. Accustomed to look with admiration on the elegant, refined conduct of Amelia, she may, naturally, be supposed to copy in her own manners a misfrets so revered and beloved. Whitlock as Sir Charles Douglas, and Moreton as Lord Falbridge, were above mediocrity. The rest of the characters were respecta- bly supported.
The Comedy, of itself, is moral, in- structing, and entertaining, and must ever give a high treat to the lovers of dramatic excellence.
The Farce, as on Friday evening, was received with loud marks of applause.
April 23.
Last night the Tragedy of "Tamer- lane," with the tragical, comical, oper- atical Entertainment of "Tom Thumb." This Tragedy is one of Rowe's best productions. The magnanimous senti- ments of Tamerlane, when opposed to the wild unbounded ambition of Bajazet, form a striking contrast, and gave ample scope to the dramatic powers of Whitlock and Chalmers. Whitlock in Tamerlane, gave every sentiment its full force. He was collected, calm, and dignified. Chal- mers, as Bajazet, took nature for his guide; he seemed to have fully studied to what a height ambition could soar, and mingling love, revenge, and paternal af- fection in just proportions, was Bajazet himself—we do not know when we have witnessed a scene more affecting than that between him and Selima in the last act. Mr. Moreton, as Moneses, gave satisfac- tion—The rest were, at least, correct.
We do not recollect ever to have seen Mrs. Whitlock look more beautiful than in the distress'd Araspis. She had dressed herself to great advantage, and every look, word, and action interested the au- dience in her favour. Mrs. Marshall, in Selima, play'd charmingly—calling forth tears, and commanding hearts: But her dress being of an opposite sex, we hardly know how to point out the fault—yet there was a fault somewhere. It was not composed of materials that could display the symmetry of her form—it did not flow carelessly round her, but appeared stiff and formal; where the fault was, Mrs. Marshall's own good taste will lead her to discover much quicker than we can. The Tragedy gave universal satis- faction.
The after-piece was most charmingly performed. Tom Thumb the great, could not be more ably represented than by Miss Solomon—the seemed to act from a just comprehension of what she had to say —Her voice was so modulated as to fill the house even in its lowest tones; and every syllable she uttered was distinctly under- stood. Mrs. Warrell's Dollalolla was lively, and truly burlesque—She sung the songs with great sweetness. How is it, that the public is so little gratified with the appearance of a woman whose vocal abilities are so eminently charming? Mrs. Oldmixon was very laughable in Hunca- munca—She tragicomed with effect; and sung her song with taste and execution. We were extremely happy to see our fa- vorite Bates able to perform the mock king Arthur with the spirit he did—His songs were deservedly encored; and he obliged the public by readily singing them a second time. Francis, and Blissett, imitated the ribble mules of the audi- ence, in the two courtiers, in a very high degree. Marshall's Lord Grizzle was given in a stile highly ludicrous; and Dar- ley's Ghost and Magician could not be seen without applause.
April 25th.
The Comic Opera of Inkle and Yarico, with Tom Thumb, constituted the amuse- ments of last evening. Mrs. Marshall's Yarico is a performance calculated to inter- est every beholder. Miss Broadhurst will
never speak, or sing, without conveying pleasure to the audience; but why does she make Wowki a negro—the natives of America are all copper-coloured, and at the time of Inkle's being left on their coast, were not supposed to have had any intercourse with other nations—How then came an African amongst them? Miss Willems looked charmingly in Narcissa— did what she could in the part, and sung her songs very prettily. The male char- acters were supported with propriety, and the whole received great applause from a numerous and brilliant audience.
Of Tom Thumb we have already given our opinion. On this evening Mr. Harwood played Lord Grizzle—we do not think the change was any advantage to the piece.

SAVANNAH, March 26.
On Tuesday last arrived, in 24 weeks from London, the brig Hannah, Capt. Dayton in which came passengers, Frederick Rutledge, Esq. and Robert Wilson jun. M. D. on their way to Charleston. Also embarked in the same vessel, George Baillie, Esq. for- merly an eminent merchant of this city who departed this life on the 30th of January; a gentleman whose amiable qualities will never be erased from the memory of those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, and whose death humanity will feel and regret.
The French ship of war, l'Esperance of 20 guns, prize to the British ship of war Argonaut, of 64 guns, is arrived at Nassau, New-Providence. The Lynx sloop of war has also arrived there with two prizes, viz the French Privateer National Cockade, of 14 carriage guns and 12 swivels, and the ship Norfolk, from Jamaica, bound to London, loaded with rum and sugar, which had been captured by the privateer.
Thomas Jones, who was lately tried and found guilty of grand larceny, was executed in Burke county on Monday the 16th inst.
CHARLESTON, April 8.
On Monday morning last, as the corvette Le Brutus, belonging to the French republic, carrying 16 six pound- ers and two carronades, commanded by captain Garifcan, was proceeding to this port, with a large prize ship, she was met off the bar by the Bermudian privateer ship Sir Charles Grey, mount- ing 18 twelve pounders, commanded by Daniel Morgan, which had been for several days cruising near the bar. An engagement took place between them, the particulars of which we have not learnt; but it is said the Bermudian ship first attacked the prize, which mounted 10 six pounders, who with- stood her fire for upwards of half an hour, without receiving any material damage; the Brutus then came up within pistol shot of the Sir Charles Grey, when a very severe conflict took place, which lasted for upwards of two hours; the result was, that the Sir Charles Grey had to seek her safety in flight; the Brutus pursued her for some time, but being anxious to secure her prize, and her ammunition being nearly expended, she gave up the chase. The first lieutenant of the Brutus was the only man wounded: we have not heard what damage the Sir Charles Grey received.
The prize ship is the Alfred of Ja- maica, Bryan, late master, from Jamaica, bound to London: in coming in she got on shore just within the bar, on the flat called Noman's Land, where she re- mained one tide: by cutting away her masts, taking out her guns, and some of the cargo, she was got afloat, and was towed up to town yesterday; her cargo, consisting of sugar, coffee, cot- ton, indigo and pimento, is estimated to be worth forty thousand pounds ster- ling.
The Brutus, in a cruise of 30 days, has captured nine prizes; two Spanish Guineamen were ransomed for 41,000 dollars; two others, a Spanish polacre and a schooner, are arrived in Savan- nah.
April 19.
Yesterday the brig Le Brutus, Gar- rif- can, a French vessel of war, mount- ing 16 guns and two carronades, came up to town from the bar, where she anchored on Monday morning after her engagement with the Sir Charles Grey.
NORFOLK, April 18.
Mr. Stanley, Governor of the leeward Islands, has received accounts at St. Kit's that Admiral Caldwell had sent down a man of war and some troops to Grenada, to strengthen its garrison and secure St. Vincents.
In addition to the above, we have been favored with the following particulars: That at the Island of St Vincents the Charibs took Mr. Forbes (a gentleman of considerable property there) his wife, sister and several children prisoners, that they
hanged Mr. Forbes before his own door, in presence of his family, and afterwards inhumanly cut them to pieces. That the Zebra sloop of war landed as many of her men as she could spare, and assisted at the defeat of the Charibs; the action happen- ed on the 14th of March.
The Lieutenant-Governor (Mr. Hume) of Grenada and twenty four of the most wealthy people of the Island, were sur- prized at a place called la Bay, by a body of French people, that came from Guada- loupe in small armed vessels.
PROVIDENCE, April 18.
Letters were received by last evening's Mail from the Captain and Supercargo of the new ship JOHN JAY, of this port, bound to China, dated January 30. She arrived at St. Jago, one of the Cape-de- Verds, in 32 days; and was to sail from thence on the 18th of February. The crew were all in health, and the John Jay proves to be an excellent sea vessel.

Foreign Intelligence.
NEW-YORK, April 24.
By the Ohio, Captain Kepnp, from Lon- don—and the Fanny, Captain Braine, from Greenock.
HANOVER, February 4.
The intention of the allies is to send an army of 100,000 men into the field, and to draw a cordon to protect their do- minions. The Landgrave of Hesse-Cassel brings 15,000 men, and has promised 30,000 if England will give the money for this purpose. The Hessian General Oynhausen was sent to England. The whole Hanoverian militia has marched to the frontiers.
ROTTERDAM, Jan. 21.
The militia (Shutzengilde) who have done service since the Revolution in 1788, in this town, were disbanded yesterday— their arms were taken away from them and given to the militia which had been disbanded by them in that year—the latter mounted guard this morning. A publica- tion has just been issued, prohibiting the wearing of the Orange cockade: nothing but the National cockade is worn at pre- sent.
A division of French troops made their entry into our town this afternoon: they were accompanied by a crowd of citizens. Several bands of musicians in the town joined their military band, amid the ring- ing of all the church bells, and the re- joicing passed away with the greatest or- der.
Jan. 24.
Two other publications have been issued by the magistrates of Rotterdam, upon a request from the Commander General of the French army; the first, that a list shall be given in within twenty four hours, at the town house, by every citizen who is in possession of property belonging to the British nation. The second was an order not to sell any wine, brandy, nor any o- ther strong liquors, to the French troops.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 24.
A number of French troops arrive yet daily, among others there arrived the corps called Batave, which is composed of the Dutch Patriots who had emigrated to France in the year 1788.
A Proclamation was yesterday issued by the Representatives of the French people, advising the election of a Mayor and a Deputy Mayor, an Attorney General, and four Committees, for the administration of the town. The Committees will be, the Committee of General Safety, of Pub- lic Weal, of execution of justice, and of commerce and navigation.
Jan. 29.
Since the French have entered this town, the strictest order has reigned in e- very corner, and the severest discipline is observed among the former.
GLASGOW, March 3.
RETROSPECT.
The long suspension of intelligence from the continent, has for some weeks past rendered our retrospective views some- what barren and uninteresting; those of the preceding week have however begun to assume a more interesting aspect.
In Holland the process of organizing the Constitution on the model of the French, seems to proceed with much ap- parent unanimity. While surrounded by a victorious army, it can hardly, however be supposed, that the decrees of their con- vention, exhibit the expressions and result of a Will free and unshackled, nor does it appear probable that the fraternal squeeze of three millions will tend to reconcile them with cordiality to their new allies.— Upon a second examination of the ac- counts of the Bank of Amsterdam, the French, it is said, have found a de- ficiency of ten millions of florins; in con- sequence of which, the agio has fallen from 95 to 84.
The unhappy kingdom of Poland deprive- d of even the semblance of a free govern- ment, and about to be merged in the do- minions of Russia, Austria and Prussia will, in all probability, henceforth, cease to exist as an independent State.
The resignation of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, a report of which has just now reached us, forms the most important fea- ture of the domestic news of the day.— Mr. Wilberforce's motion in the house of Commons, for the abolition of the slave trade in 1796, has been negatived. The new taxes have received universal approbation.
A letter has been received in town, da- ted Brest nelson February 1795, from an officer lately belonging to his majesty's fri- gate Daphne, which mentions, that, that frigate was captured by three large French frigates on the 22d. of December.
The embargo which has been laid on all the shipping is ordered to be very strictly enforced. It concludes thus: "The said embargo shall not be continued to extend to colliers nor to any vessel laden with corn nor any sort of grain for the purpose of being carried coastwise, nor to any foreign ships which may be ready to proceed on their respective voyages, nor to any for- eign ships which have or shall happen to put in any port in this kingdom, and have not broken, or shall not break bulk there, but that all foreign ships be permitted to proceed on their respective voyages, pro- vided they do not carry away any seamen who are his majesty's subjects."
By an act for manning the navy (as a- mended) the number of men to be levied in the ports in Scotland, in proportion to the tonnage is 2601; the embargo not to be taken off till the men are raised—London is to raise 5725—Liverpool 1511—New- castle 1240—Hull 731—and all the other ports in England in proportion.
BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
Monday, March 2.
This day the House was summoned, and thirty-three peers attended. It being a Committee of Privileges, to resolve upon the mode to be adopted upon passing judg- ment upon Mr. Hastings, the doors were shut against strangers, even members of the Commons; and we owe great obliga- tions for the communication of a few short heads, in the relation of which we will not presume to intrude upon the privileges of that house.
The land marine bill was read clause by clause, went into a committee, and after some trifling amendments, passed, and was ordered to be reported. Some other business of no import to the public was done, when the order of the day was read, and the house resolved itself into a com- mittee to consider of the trial.
The report was read, by Mr. Armand, the reading clerk.
Lord Thurlow opened the business and entered into a very copious investiga- tion of the five specific charges, and the fifth charge, which appeared to him to be a compound of the fragments of the other fifteen charges.—The first was, the Be- gums of Oude, which branched into a great variety of ramifications, some of which it might be necessary to investigate with strict attention. His Lordship slightly touched upon the leading parts of the evi- dence, in order to draw the attention of the Noble Lords to contemplate them with care and diligence. In the same manner his Lordship touched upon the charge respecting the Rajah Cheyte Sing, which were the two principal charges to which dwelt upon by Mr. Burke and Mr. Sheridan, on behalf of the Commons. The other charges, viz. the Presents, the Bullock and Opium Contracts, and the general charge, might easily be reduced in the minds of the Noble Lords, who, from the earliest period, by their constant attendance, were fully entitled to pass judgment. Upon the whole his Lordship therefore submitted to the Noble Peers, who really had strictly attended the trial, and well considered and digested it, to make up their minds, whether they should give judgment upon the whole, Guilty or not guilty? or whether, as in the case of the Earl of Middlesex, the Lords should go into Westminster hall, and find their verdict upon each of the charges individu- ally? The judgment would then, in either case, be another matter of solemn consi- deration. Upon the whole, the Noble Lords would, his Lordship hoped, turn their minds upon the subject, in order to bring this long protracted trial to a final conclu- sion.
The Earl of Carlisle, Earl Mansfield, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Staf- ford, and several other Noble Lords spoke: but we understand that it was more in the nature of a conversation than a debate. All the Noble Peers agreed that the speediest method should be adopted, consistent with the magnitude and justice of the case; but not one of them was prepared to give a full and decisive opinion. At six, this interesting investigation ended, and was agreed to be resumed again next day. At half after six the house adjourned.
The Dukes of York and Norfolk were present, but took no part in the debate.

EDINBURGH, March 2. We learn, that Count Stahremberg has received intelligence by the last messenger from Vienna, that the field equipment of his Imperial Majesty is ordered to be got ready, and that this Monarch intends in the month of May to be at the head of his army.
The order of Government prohibiting the clearing out of American vessels from any of the British ports, for France, after being in force for a few days, was, on a remonstrance being made on the subject, suspended on the 10th of January. The vessels were then allowed to proceed, bonds being first given, for double the amount of their cargoes, that the goods should be landed according to their clearance, and that no article should be taken on board that was the produce and manufacture of Great Britain.
The American Minister, Mr. Jay, is said to be extremely respected by all ranks of people in Great Britain. His conduct has been uniformly tempered, manly, and feasible.
AMSTERDAM. In the sitting of the 3d instant, the morning assembly having been opened, the president read a letter from one of their deputies at the Hague, of which the following is an extract:
At the prayer of the inhabitants, it is decreed to oppose the regency. The commission for the affairs of the East-India Company, which was composed of the citizens Van der Does, Van der Wall, Dedel Salomon, and Jan Van Stralen, has been replaced by other citizens.
On a missive from the French representative, to register the possessions of the Stadholder, it was decreed, that the deputies of the generality should make known to the French representatives, on the part of their High Mightinesses,
 1. That many of the possessions alluded to were not in fact the property of the cidevant Stadholder, but he was only permitted to hold them for his own use.  2. That it would first be necessary to deduct his debts, which were enormous.  3. That he did not hold his possessions as Stadholder, but as a private individual. 
It was then decreed to refer this missive to the committee of Public Safety, to take the opinion of citizen Van der Does, Fiscal of the domains, on that subject, &c.
A commission of the arbitrators of Diemen demanded, that they might displace their bailiffs; but they were informed it could not be done without a real accusation was brought against him, being an established officer of the city, and that it was also necessary for such accusation to be confirmed by proof; however, it was advised to establish another college of sheriffs.
The afternoon sitting was commenced with the revision of an act for accusing the secretaries of the city.
The sitting of Wednesday morning, February 4, was commenced with a notification concerning the Bank of this city. The citizens Van Acker and Vander Zoo, who had been charged with the commission relative thereto, produced their written notice, with the alterations. It was then decreed, that the same should be published.
AFFAIRS OF HOLLAND.
In yesterday's paper we detailed the transactions of the people of Holland, in their revolutionary state. Our readers will observe, that the government is still vested in their High Mightinesses the States General. The Provincial Assemblies only have been new modelled provisionally, and in all the subordinate departments of office, in the collection of the revenue, and in all but the most confidential situations, the old persons remain. The private letters confirm the accounts in the Journals of the exemplary conduct of the French soldiery, and of the perfect tranquility which reigns in every part of the United Provinces. The following papers we yesterday abridged, but they are essential to the series:
The speech of Mr. Peter Paulis, with which he opened the Assembly of Provisional Representatives, was as follows:
Speech of Citizen Peter Paulis, President of the Assembly of the Provisional Representatives of the Free People of Holland, at the opening of its sittings the 27th January.
"BEHOLD, Citizens, at length, the grand basis of your liberty founded, and the aristocratic edifice of your ancient government overthrown. Doubtless this basis will prove durable, having been fixed by the express will and under the supreme direction of the Almighty, whose all-powerful hand has been so manifest in the events which have lately happened to us. During one of the most glorious campaigns of which the annals of the world speak, the French army had already approached our frontier, and had even set foot upon our territory, when the natural force of our country, its rivers, its water of every kind, appeared to retard in some degree, and during a certain period, their progress: for experience has shewn, that nothing can finally resist the courage, the activity and the indefatigable perseverance of the French nation, and that frontier towns, fortresses, and strong holds of every kind fall before their zeal and their inconceivable efforts. But at a moment, however, when it was least expected, and when the campaign was thought to be at an end, a frost, the most intense which has almost ever been known, transformed at once our rivers, our canals, and our inundations, into roads and bridges, and what was esteemed in former times the strength of our country and the security of our government, became the means of accelerating the progress of the arms of a nation which has solemnly and publicly declared that they regard us not as enemies, but as brethren and allies. This striking event ought to lead us to contemplate with respectful admiration the adorable ways of the Almighty, who, when the prospect of the freedom of our country was otherwise distant and uncertain, thus saved the effusion of so much blood, and preserved so many cities and countries from destruction."
"Let us, our hearts filled with gratitude, render thanks to God for this wonderful interference of his Providence; and since our liberty has so manifestly been founded by his will, let us keep his divine example before our eyes, and in all humility endeavor to make it the object of our imitation. Let justice, equity and humanity be the beginning and the end of all our actions and resolutions; and laying aside all hatreds, all spirit of party, and of vengeance for former wrongs, let us remember that it was he who taught us to "bless those that curse us."
"Then will a blessing attend our labors: then, and then alone, union will spring up among us; union, without which we have seen this country cannot
exist, but with the aid of which we have a bright example in our annals, that we are invincible."
"Then tranquility and calm will reign in every breast, and the foundation being thus so happily laid, the edifice of our liberty will be gradually reared amid the influence of virtue, of reason and of philosophy."
"When the sovereignty of the people shall have been acknowledged, when the inalienable Rights of Man, without the distinction of religious or political opinions, shall have been solemnly declared, we may expect that peace, liberty and security, which have been so long banished from our land, will again take up their abode with us, and will form the source of our common felicity."
"It is for this most desirable end, that I offer up my prayers to the Almighty, that he may grant us his divine blessing; that he may afford to us all, and particularly to me whom this Assembly has favored with such a mark of its confidence, his paternal assistance, and that he may turn the efforts which we are about to make, to the happiness of a people so long outraged, insulted and oppressed."
LONDON, Feb. 25.
Letters from Basle, in Switzerland, mention, that on the 22d January the council of thirteen paid the customary visit to the new French ambassador, Barthelemy, who was welcomed with the usual honors and ceremonies. Chancellor Ochs made him a speech, which he answered. In the evening credentials were exchanged between Barthelemy and General Goltz, the Prussian ambassador, and the succeeding day was fixed for opening the conference for a negotiation for peace between the republic of France and the king of Prussia.
The British House of Lords have, on motion of Lord Thurlow, resolved nem. con. to refer the whole of the evidence and proceedings in the trial of Warren Hastings to a Committee of the House, and Monday, March 3d, was the day for receiving their report.
When the Revolutionaire of 110 guns, foundered in going into Brest, 900 of her crew were drowned; after the weather moderated, no attempt was made to save her stores, but the whole was set on fire, and burnt to the water's edge. The Ingebor Mathea fell in with the Grand Fleet, and the convoy, on the 17th inst. they about 40 leagues W. of Ushant; one of the merchantmen of the fleet got foul of this ship but they did not injure each other materially.
AMERICAN TRADE.
Canal Office, Whitehall, Feb. 22.
"SIR, I herewith transmit you for the information of merchants trading to and from America, copy of a letter this day written, by direction of the Lords of the Council, to the Secretary of the Treasury, for relaxing the Regulations heretofore observed with respect to American vessels coming to the ports of this kingdom for a market."
I am, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, W. FAWKNER."
Philip Simpson, eq.
Canal Office, Whitehall, Feb. 21.
"SIR, The Lords of the Council having had under consideration a note from Mr. Pinckney, the American Minister, transmitted by directions of Lord Grenville, on the subject of the regulations laid down for American vessels which may touch at any of the ports of this kingdom, observing, "That an American vessel coming with tobacco into Falmouth, and then to a market, if ordered to proceed to France, is not suffered to depart until a license is obtained from his Majesty in Council for that purpose—the conditions of which license are, that the vessel shall proceed to a specified port in France, and that security shall be given in three times the value of the cargo, that no goods or merchandise the growth or manufacture of this kingdom, shall be put on board, and that the vessel shall bring a certificate of the delivery of the tobacco at such port—and suggesting the propriety of having the regulations concerning this branch of trade, so modified, as to oppose the fewest impediments to its free exercise."
"I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's treasury, that the Lords of the Council, upon consideration of the said note, and of a minute of the Lords of the Committee of Council for Trade and Foreign Plantations thereupon, are of opinion, that it may be advisable, that the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury should, if they shall so think fit, instruct the Commissioners of his Majesty's Customs to give gene-
ral directions to the principal Officers of the Customs, at all the ports where American vessels are likely to touch for a market, that if such vessels take on board any articles not now permitted to be exported to France, or to any country under the government of France, that the said officers do take bond with two sureties, who are inhabitants of this country, for landing the same in some country in amity with his Majesty, and to produce a certificate within a limited time, of the said goods having been so landed, or the bond to be forfeited; but in case any American vessels so coming for a market, shall not take on board any such articles, that then they be permitted freely to depart with their cargoes."
I am, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant."
