BRITISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
[The following is the answer to the Speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the House of Commons, inserted in yesterday's Gazette.]
Mr. FOX thus replies: "Fatigued as the House must be by hearing all those reasons in support of the War, that have been used before..."
"I have received much pleasure from several parts of this debate. I am much pleased with the honorable mover of the Address, who, in a mode of argument not very usual on such occasions, stated, that the conduct of the War was a subject on which future explanation was to be given."
"Before, however, I proceed to the discussion, it will be proper for me to settle the terms of the discussion."
"The Right Hon. Gentleman says, that he does not conceive it to be correct to say, that we pledge ourselves not to make peace with the Republic of France."
"If in such a season of difficulty and danger if, I say we could feel any triumph, it would be to see the effects of double dealing, of holding out one language and speaking another."
treat with France as a Republic... if the Minister had made such a declaration, he would not have those unpleasant feelings which he confessed that he has this day.
"We have now heard from the Throne in speaking of the Dutch Negotiation, that with the present government of France no Treaty can be made."
"I must here stop to say a word about the enthusiasm of the French, and I again assert, that if this country were invaded by a French army, we should do as the French do, and not till then."
"And how were all these calamitous consequences to be brought about? By a few French Millionaires landing at Dover..."
"And here I cannot avoid alluding to the late Trials of persons who have been called Acquitted Felons: the decency, humanity, and feelings, of which language I leave to the Secretary at War..."
"It has been lamented that there has been a want of zeal in protecting the War. I remember when I made a motion for negotiating with the French, there was no want of zeal; and what was the reason? Contempt of the enemy. It was therefore natural that the zeal would abate when the contempt no longer existed."

We have been engaged in wars, and we have both received and proposed terms; but I never heard that we degraded ourselves by proposing them. What then are these but unmeaning words, which tell us that every proposition is submission? You should say as a preliminary, that you will make no impediment to the establishment of the present Government of France. Every advantage you get then, will tell, and not till then; we should then, in the language of the address, be unanimous. Do Ministers think that a great argument would not then be taken away from the French Government, and that that Government would longer have a pretence for saying to the people, you must surrender your independence, and receive a Government from foreign powers?
"Sir, the present war is unexampled in calamity. We have certainly gained Martinico, St. Lucia, part of Guadalupe, and Corsica. But the allies have lost! All their conquests in France—the Netherlands—half Holland—The left bank of the Rhine—part of Piedmont and Catalonia, and all Navarre. At sea how has it proved? We find, that his Majesty's Speech of last year is incorrect, relative to the destruction of the fleet at Toulon, that while great armies have been raised, a fleet has issued from Toulon, larger, it is said than any in those seas. On the first of June indeed, we gained an immortal victory. But it has been proved, that even on that day, the French fleet was superior to ours. The French navy then indeed received a great but not irrecoverable blow; for if report be correct, they have now a fleet, which in the present moment we can scarcely equal. For fresh resistance then we may look for at sea—There is no man has a higher confidence in the courage and conduct of our sailors than I have. But if we should again beat the enemy, it will be as nothing; whereas, if a contrary event should unfortunately happen, the consequences would be such, as I am afraid to contemplate."
"When we are reduced to a state of necessity, then, it is said, we must submit. Then indeed it will be submission, for they will know that you do it from incapacity. The sooner, therefore, you lay aside this absurd project of giving a government to France the better. You will then fight on strong ground. Offer peace now; I think you can offer it with honour. But then, says the minister, you ought to state what terms are to be offered. Sir, his majesty's ministers are to negotiate; I cannot, therefore, say what terms; but I am confident that in offering some terms we shall stand on better ground. I own the right hon. gentleman comes here with a strong argument, but it makes for Peace. I allude to the cession of the colonies, and the French royalists, Thank God! I am innocent of this. I have never missed an opportunity of deprecating any idea of supporting the royalists in their designs against France. The minister asks, will you give up the colonies and the royalists? On them be the guilt. Let those who have given up garrison after garrison to massacre and murder—let those who have involved these unhappy persons in such situations, be answerable, and let not this difficulty be thrown in our way. It is indeed a reason why ministers never can retire from the contest with honour."
The honourable baronet who moved the address expressed a wish for unanimity. If the address does pass unanimously, we never can make peace with the French government."
And now I would make a few observations with respect to our allies. Some gentlemen have said that we have no allies, and they have been asked whence they collected that information? I reply, from the king's speech. We are told in it, that the Dutch are negotiating, and no mention is made of any actual alliances."
"On the subject of these alliances, some very extraordinary language has been held. The gentleman who seconded the motion for the address, says of us, you have predicted, but take no merit to yourselves, for we predicted also, and our predictions have been as successful as yours. You predicted that Holland and Prussia would withdraw from the alliance, and we predicted that Robespierre would fall: he did fall. It seems that we are not to expect the aid of Prussia the next campaign; and to make up for this deficiency, we must furnish other powers with means. We must supply Austria. Why does not Austria get money elsewhere? Because her credit is so bad that nobody will lend her any—Great-Britain therefore is to supply her. Having thus got to the abyss of folly and despair, we may expect to get as much from Austria next campaign as we did last from Prussia."
Between absolute courts I do not know the difference, but I know that neither Austria and Prussia deserves credit: and is Austria so free from any imputation of being faithless? Have gentlemen forgotten that she was strongly suspected of want of faith at Toulon? I remember with what triumph the co-operation of Prussia was mentioned to us. We were to have 30,000 men all of one nation, and though to be sure we were not to command them, it was still a great advantage to us to have the military ardor of the Prussian monarch subservient to our views. During the American war, a certain Marquis lamented in an account published in the Gazette, that he found the people of Virginia as disaffected as the people of Carolina, and so I believe we shall find the king of Bohemia as disaffected to us as the elector of Brandenburg, and the emperor of Germany as the king of Prussia. I do not know whether any officer who served the last campaign is present, but is it not generally known that there was more enmity between the Austrians and the English, than between the Austrians and the French? Can any one therefore entertain a hope that the Austrians and the English will act with cordiality together during the next campaign? Is there any hope of success?
And yet we are going to lay burthen upon burthen, and tax upon tax, on some strange speculation that the French may be ruined first. Precisely the same hopes were held out last year, and the same words are used in the speech as were used then: "The resources of France were rapidly declining." Rapidly is not a very definite word—they may be rapidly declining ten years hence.
"But what is the situation of France? Their means, it is said, are nearly exhausted. One would have thought, from the right hon. gentleman's speech that the overthrow of Robespierre happened last week. He was put to death last July, and the progress of the French armies since that period has been more splendid than it was at any time before. The right hon. gentleman, therefore, has not got any thing by Robespierre's fall. Besides, have gentlemen forgot that moderation produces strength."
"It is asked, what reason we have for supposing that the people of France are less disaffected than they were? Because we hear of no insurrections at Bordeaux and Lyons—and because the general amnesty has nearly extinguished the revolt in La Vendee. I would, therefore, put it to gentlemen, even on the subject of the French finances, whether they think on their honour that there is any chance of success in this war? Our resources are not touched it is said. This year, however, there is no such paragraph in the king's speech as there was last. Then we were told, in language rather unusual from the throne, that taxes would be necessary, but that they would not be felt. The minister has made a loan. He must provide for it and taxes must be imposed to an enormous amount."
"Of the internal state of France, the right hon. gentleman appears to be well informed, but to know little of the outside. Of the probable failure of pecuniary resources we heard much during the American war. During that war American paper fell not merely to a sixth of its original value, but to a hundredth part; nay, you might, if you had chosen, have bought one thousand dollars in paper money for one in specie. The commerce of France, I believe, as the minister does, is on the decline; but agriculture, I have every reason to think, is more encouraged than ever it was at any former period. I do not say the evidence I have received of this circumstance is indubitable, but where does the right hon. gentleman get his knowledge? From persons who have an interest in deceiving him—whose wages may be in proportion to the delusive intelligence which they may communicate to him. With respect to food and shelter, the poor of France are not in a much worse condition than the poor of this country, and certainly in a much better than under the old government."
"We are, I must repeat, engaged in a war, out of which the sooner we get the better; and here I must remark, that I disagree with the Hon. Gentleman who moved the amendment on the question of whether peace would be secure or not: Secure is a comparative word, and I have no doubt that it would be as secure under the old monarchy of France, and in this part of the discussion by the Right Hon. gentleman occurs a curious argument: the French armies will soon be unable to keep together, and yet if you make peace, it will be impossible to disband them."
"Whether in the event of a peace, France would relapse into her former cruel monarchy, or the more cruel tyranny of some periods of the revolution, is
a question impossible now to be decided. As a philosopher, I ought to look to it with anxiety; but as politicians we ought not to attempt to direct it: but it has not been tried—all other means have been put in practice, and failed."
"It has been said, that we raised Robespierre, and that we also destroyed him. I do not know the fact, but I shall say, that our invading France raised him, and that our running away was the cause of his destruction. I shall move an amendment, but if it should not meet the sense of the house, I shall then vote for that proposed by the honourable gentleman opposite to me. I propose, in my amendment, to leave out the words, "some recent transactions that have occurred in France," because I contend we treat with men only because they are in power, and not from any opinion of their moral excellence."
"Before I sit down, however, there are other circumstances of which I must take notice. We have received an intimation of his majesty's having accepted the Crown of Corsica.—Did he acquire it by conquest? No, it would not then have been necessary to have intimated the acquisition of it in the speech from the throne. The acceptance of the Crown of Corsica seems to be a kind of epigrammatic answer to all the remarks that have been made on the subject of the right of the people, to elect and depose their governors. Mr. Burke, in that book which the Secretary at war has this night recommended to a second perusal, is extremely angry at two principles asserted by Dr. Price, that the people have a right to elect their rulers, and to cashier them for misconduct: and yet this very king of Great Britain in his own person, presents an example of having been cashiered in North America, and elected to the crown of Corsica. In Corsica, according to Sir Gilbert Elliot the people met in primary assemblies, and elected the king of Great Britain to the throne; and as the Corsicans were tired of the French yoke, his Majesty acted in obedience to the decree of the National Convention of the 15th November, for the relief of oppressed people.—Notwithstanding, however, this pompous election, it is very doubtful whether it will produce any advantage to the cause."
One honorable gentleman has said, that asking for peace would prostrate us at the feet of the national convention. Let me ask that gentleman, when they were to make peace?—are we to waste the blood and treasure of the country, in order that the Right Hon. gentleman may say that he has done all he can, and may quote a latin line, expressive of the exertions which he has made. Let us treat now—I am far from being sorry that I made a motion for entering into a negotiation. I was told, at the time I made it, that it would be better we should be beat into peace. The Right Hon. gentleman seems not to have had beating enough. The country has had. Let not the country, therefore, be ruined because that gentleman (Mr. Windham) has not, to use a phrase of a science with which he is acquainted, been beat enough to give in. The Right Hon. gentleman does not like to re-sign the colonies, which have been so strangely and shamefully neglected. Perhaps he would rather be beat out of them also—and indeed it seems as if success would attend him in this enterprize."
"How has our commerce been protected? I suppose the Earl of Chatham retires from the Admiralty, because he can retire with honour, and covered with laurel. If that be the case, I must complain of the injustice of the Right Hon. gentleman, in depriving us of that popular, able, and vigilant First Lord of the Admiralty. In what part of the globe has the Admiralty shown ability? Was it by sending a force to the West Indies inadequate to retain the conquests achieved there! or by keeping up a large fleet at Toulon? But not alone to the Admiralty is blame imputable—the total want of talents, which all the ministers have evinced, incapacitate them receiving any confidence from us. But the period will come, and ere long, I hope, when responsibility will not be merely a word. For some of the ministers I have a personal respect, but I hope they will think that I shall act as a fair and frank man when I say that we must have an enquiry into the origin and conduct of the war, and that we must prevent similar calamities from occurring again."
"I feel and lament our situation—I know that we cannot retire from the conflict without serious losses, disaster and disgrace. I adhere to the opinion, which I have before expressed, that the origin of the war was the same as that of the American war—that it originated in a court party in this country, which hates the name of Liberty. There never was a time when the country suffered more than it does at present from the total inattention of the ministers to its interest. If I want comfort, I have only to allude to three pages of your Journals, where two years ago I recorded my objections to the war."
"In this serious state of the business, I give my hearty thanks to the honourable gentleman who moved the amendment. I warn you that the public have a right, at this awful period, to demand from you the sacrifice of private interests and party views. You know it in your hearts, and I lay it from no feeling of pride or pleasure, because that feeling is mixed with too many painful considerations; but you know that you must next year, or at some later period, speak the sentiments which I have declared this day."
"The motion I mean to make is, that the words "and some recent circumstances which have occurred in France," be omitted in the amendment."
Mr. Sheridan seconded the motion.
A meeting of the Proprietors of WHARVES, is requested on Thursday Evening next, at 7 o'clock at the City Tavern in Second Street, when Business of Importance to their Interest will be submitted to their consideration. March 16 m&th
PHILADELPHIA, March 18.
A PROBLEM. From the Aurora.
Mr. Jay left the United States in May 1793. It is admitted now, that he will not return before the expiration of one year from that date. By his office he is obliged to discharge the Judiciary duties of chief justice. By his oath these duties are most sacredly enjoined on him. For the discharge of these duties, he is allowed the important salary of four thousand five hundred dollars per annum.
QUERE. On his return, will he draw his salary of 4,500 dollars, as chief justice, or not?
If he does—on what principle of justice, of conscience, or of law?
If he does not—will it not be an acknowledgment, that his appointment as Envoy Extraordinary was unconstitutional, or that his office of Chief Justice was vacated thereby, and that he can neither claim a salary nor resume the functions of Chief Justice, without a re-appointment.
If Mr. Jay Should keep away Until next May, Why then his stay, Would be one year to a day; For which should he demand full pay, Twould be four thousand dollars: Now should he draw, As head of Law, Within his paw, This monstrous salary what follows? My friends will cry— And so will I, O fye! O fye! No Law!—No Constitution! But should he then give up his claim; Why then I shall not miss my aim; I then could prove as clear as light The democrats were always right, When they denounced the peaceful plan And long'd to guillotine the man, Who saw'd the States from War and Dis- solution.

NEW-YORK, March 17. From the DIARY, a paper published in this city last evening.
Captain Barnard, lately arrived at this port from Point-Petre, Guadalupe, a man of respectable character, and on whose testimony the fullest reliance may be placed, positively asserts and is ready to attest, that he was brought to the Bellona of 74 guns, and was ordered on board—the captain of which informed, "That those desperadoes (meaning the French) would certainly have carried off the Blanche, had he not come up to her assistance."
Captain Barnard also informs, that it was positively stated at Point-Petre, that the Blanche had struck to La Picque before the Bellona came alongside, to whose superior force she was obliged to yield.
Captain Barnard was at Point-Petre when the commander of the Picque returned after the action, and was witness to the very welcome and honourable reception he met with from his countrymen, which would not have been the case had he yielded to inferior force, or the least doubt been entertained of his bravery and good conduct.
From the contradictory reports of this affair, we thought it our duty to find captain Barnard out, from whose own mouth we have obtained the above statement of facts.

SCHEME
OF THE LOTTERY, No. II.
FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE FEDERAL CITY.
1 A magnificent 20,000 Dollars, and dwelling house, 5 cash 35,000 are
Table with 2 columns: Prize Amount, Number of Winners. Includes prizes like 15,000, 10,000, 5,000, etc.
16,739 Prizes 33,201 Blanks 50,000 Tickets at 8 dollars 400,000
This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold out. The money raised will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.

BOOKS.
PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New Theatre Philadelphia.
Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.]
Extracts from the Critical Reviews, April 1791, p. 468.
It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanied a young officer to America—The marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend.—The situations are artless and affecting; the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."
2. The Inquisitor—by Mrs. Rowson. Second Philadelphia edition. 87 1/2 cents
3. Adventures of Roderick Random. 2 vols 1 dollar and 50 cents, coarse paper—1 dollar and 75 cents, fine.
4. Notes on the state of Virginia—by Thomas Jefferson. Price, neatly bound, one dollar and half.
5. History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brillon. Two dollars.
EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. "The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked with proper severity. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican.—They love liberty as Englishmen, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced."
In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.
"We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind."
