LIBERTY, EQUALITY,
In the name of the French Republic,
A PROCLAMATION.
Leger Felicite Sonthonax, Julien Raimond, Marc Antoine Alexis Giraud, Pierre George Leblanc, and Philippe Rose Roume, Commissaries delegated by the French government, to the Windward Islands.
To all the Citizens of the Colony, and to all those who compose the Land and Sea Forces destined to its defence.
CITIZENS,
After so many storms and critical emergencies, inseparable concomitants of a revolution, France enjoys at last a constitution worthy of a people who knows how to value liberty.
Already under a truly republican government, the French people begin to reap from their long and arduous toil, and to enjoy the happy effects of the liberty which they have attained—already the government directs its solicitudes towards those objects which are to preserve the rights and increase the happiness of the people.
Firmly resolved to cause the constitution to be executed, the executive directory is constantly employed in searching out means to have it established in all the parts of the Republic.
That Constitution states, article 156, "That the legislative body can authorize the directory to send into all the French colonies, as the emergencies of the case may require, one or more particular agents, whom it will appoint for a limited time."
These agents are to exercise the same functions as the directory, and be under its orders."
The sixth article of the constitution states, "That the French Colonies are inseparable parts of the Republic, and submitted to the same constitutional law."
It is particularly for the execution of that article, that we have received from the government the honorable mission entrusted to us, and, at the same time, to let you know all the means you ought to employ to preserve Liberty and Equality, which are the fundamental laws of that constitution.
You will undoubtedly, believe your old and sincere friends; undoubtedly you will listen to philanthropists, who have spontaneously devoted themselves to almost certain death, in order to vindicate your rights. Bound by the same principles they propose to themselves only one end—that of leading you to the true happiness, in preserving among you liberty and equality.
Citizens! Rally then at the voice of the delegates of the Republic, since it is in her name, and for your dearest interests, that they are going to address you.
The ancient government of the Colonies had distinguished three different classes—the whites—the coloured people and the slaves. To those different classes, now united and honoured with the name of French citizens, we are going to speak alternately.
We shall first address that portion of the people of the colony, which has most suffered under the tyrannic order which has been abolished, and we shall say to them—"By the republican constitution which the French nation has just adopted, you have recovered your primitive rights; but you must know the proper means to preserve them undisturbed, and to transmit them without interruption to your remotest posterity. Those ships, the warriors whom they bring to you—all those formidable preparations are designed against the English who are the most cruel enemies of your liberty! They dare to indulge the hope of framing new chains for you. See those blood thirsty tigers, bending still your brethren under their homicidal whips. Can you suffer any longer to dismal an object; join the forces which France sends to you, expel from the territory of the French Republic, those tyrants of mankind; pursue them even to their haunts, and destroy the last of them! What! Is it not incumbent upon you to avenge your brethren whom they keep fettered in the surrounding islands?—Yes, citizens! every thing ought to impress you with an implacable hatred for those tyrants, whose most lucrative trade is of reducing you to slavery, to misery and death. What can withhold your revenge! Rush on that impious race; make it disappear from that sacred spot, which, too long, has been the theatre of its crimes and depredations."
The Republic has not only provided you with means to destroy your most cruel enemies, but has farther testified her parental solicitude, in indicating and facilitating to you such means as can only consolidate your re-conquered liberty.
Those means, citizens, you shall find in labor and instruction, and in the practice of moral and civil virtues.
Labor and instruction, citizens, are necessary to the preservation of the people, and the constitution imposes them as a duty upon all citizens.
The 15th article of the second title, contains these words: "Young men cannot be inscribed in the civic register, if they do not prove that they can read, write, and follow a mechanical branch of business." That clause, citizens, can and ought to take place only agreeably to the constitution, after the first day of the twelfth year of the Republic.
The manual operations of agriculture belong to the mechanical arts.
Yes; labor, and agriculture particularly, is absolutely necessary to him who wishes to preserve his right, and enjoy his liberty. Through labor we procure the this is necessary to our existence and enjoyments; through labor only, we can preserve our liberty. Woe to the people who neglect labor; such people cannot fail becoming slaves to an active nation. Never forget, that the English your neighbours, are very active, and that they may rivet your chains once more, should you ever forsake labor. Ah! has not a dreadful and too long experience taught you that truth? Had your ancestors, the inhabitants of Africa, devoted themselves to the culture of their fruitful lands, they most assuredly would not have debased themselves by recip-
rocal bloody wars, of which greedy Europeans have availed themselves to reduce them to the most intolerable and degrading slavery. What remains for you to do, in order to avoid all the misfortunes, which are inseparable concomitants of idleness? Nothing but to devote yourselves to the culture of the rich productions of the colony you inhabit! Many of you have been to France; they will tell you, that the people are there constantly employed at useful labors, and agriculture in particular. Imitate that active people who adapt you as their brethren, and you will establish, by that means, a trade of exchange with them, which will cement and strengthen your brotherly relations.
Instruction is as useful to you as labor; by it you will transmit your rights to your children; by it you will learn how to fulfil the duties of good citizens; finally, by instruction you will attain that degree of morality which distinguishes the civilized from the savage man, the honest from the perverse citizen.
The government will omit nothing to attain an object so interesting and so worthy of its solicitude. Public schools will be established throughout all the colonies; your children shall therefore receive instruction, imbibe a taste for labor and morals, which are to accomplish their full regeneration. The republic will extend farther her cares for your children; for she wishes that a certain number of those who shall have produced a greater disposition and zeal for instruction, be sent to France, with the consent of their parents, there to study in a more perfect degree those sciences or arts to which they may have shown a more decided inclination.
The same resources are likewise offered to the children of the whites and of the colored people; for the primary schools, which will be established, will be open to all individuals born in the colony of whatever color they may be. ALL MEN ARE EQUAL IN RIGHTS.
An irreproachable probity is considered by the constitution as so useful to citizens, that when they are punished by law they lose for a while their political rights. It is therefore necessary that the man who wishes to preserve his liberty without interruption, should, to labor and instruction, add morals, which are absolutely necessary to the preservation of a social state. From what you have just now read, you will no more doubt of the intention of the government to maintain you in the inalienable rights and of your liberties.
To you citizens, whom a barbarous custom had made formerly proprietors of slaves, we shall observe that in consequence only of the most strange subversion of what is known under the name of justice and humanity, the most sacred rights of man had been forsaken in the former order of things which allowed men to be reduced to the most insufferable and abject slavery; we shall tell you that a state so contrary to nature, tho' apparently favorable to your interests, was of too violent a nature to last long. How could the master shake off the thought of the dangers with which he was incessantly threatened: Does not the experience of ages and nations transmitted by history, inform us, that tyranny has always fallen a victim to its own crimes? Undoubtedly, six hundred thousand slaves unjustly and cruelly tortured, in almost every instant of their lives, could not afford a great degree of security to the small number of their masters. Surrounded with foes, tormented with mistrust and fear, what could be the enjoyments of masters? They were most assuredly disturbed by the cruel enormities. And to this the continual fear they laboured under to see themselves utterly ruined by that mortality which is the inevitable consequence of the manner in which the blacks were treated in the colonies.
Instead of that violent state in which lingered the late proprietors of slaves, liberty and equality which flow from the constitution, offer to them nothing but true enjoyments, and perfect security to their lives and fortunes, surrounded with free and peaceable husbandmen, who will cultivate the lands for a just salary, the owner will dread no more the fury of the revolted slave; he will live among those men as among his children; he will assist their activity with his knowledge. Their posterity will no more decline, but rather increase in proportion to the fostering cares paid to them, and that increase of population, as it will give more hands to agriculture, will improve more and more the estate of the owner, and procure him enjoyments more sweet, and gratifications more real, as they will not be acquired at the expence of the happiness, as they will not be the shameful price of the tears and the blood of their equals. As, by the new system, the proprietor of lands will dread no more those sudden changes of fortune, he will be able to encase still more his enjoyments, and give a greater salubrity to his possessions, by those rural ornaments which have made France so delicious a spot. The land holders in the colonies will also enjoy all that advantage over the inhabitants of France, which are to be derived from a beautiful climate, and the high price of the natural productions of the country.
The Republic, therefore, has a right to expect that the misfortunes which have attended the revolution, will have the happy effect of making the planters wiser than they were; the republic has a right to expect, that, recovered from their errors occasioned by a long habit, they will resume principles of eternal justice; that, influenced by the love of their country, they will concur with all their might in the restoration of the order and prosperity of the colony, and that they will assist, with as much eagerness as zeal; the wise and humane views of the government.
In addressing those formerly distinguished by whites and people of colour without possessions, we would say to them, that in a free state, all hands ought to be employed, that every one ought to make a choice of a kind of labor which, in concurring to the general welfare, would procure to the labourer not only existence, but the conveniencies of life; that the colonial system being altered, they must no more establish their hopes of fortune on Slavery, for it is forever abolished on the whole territory of France. Let every one therefore make the best of his industry, devote himself to agriculture. Let not any ill founded shame keep him in inactivity, which is as dangerous to himself as it is ruinous to the common weal. Let him be con-
vinced, that no occupation debases man; let him know, that with the wisest people of antiquity, agriculture was considered as the first of all occupations. Let them therefore renounce that state of vagrancy which the laws of the Republic will punish.
In fine, we would repeat to them, that as all the inhabitants of the colony, from this instant, will form but one class, every citizen will have the same rights, and enjoy the same advantages; and that the Republic establishes no other distinctions among men, than those of virtue and vice, of talents and ignorance.
In the name of the republic—in the name of humanity—in the name of the sacred love of country, we invite all citizens to concur with us in the restoration of order and agriculture. We invite them to forget their respective wrongs and quarrels; to make it now their sole business to expel the enemies of the republic, from the territory they have invaded, and then to repair the evils and devastations which have been occasioned by hatred, passion, and civil war.
Constituted authorities will be established throughout the whole colony, agreeably to the constitution; every thing will be disposed to promote the good of the people:—We invite them, therefore, to reform us of all reclamations they have to make, and the means of improvement which they may think most likely to contribute to the public happiness. They will find, in the delegates of the republic, the greatest eagerness to favour their efforts, and to adopt, with unbounded zeal, whatever may encase the safety and prosperity of the colony.
This proclamation is to be printed, published and posted up, wherever it will be necessary, inscribed in the registers of administrative and judiciary bodies; sent to the major generals, the commanders of camps and posts, and the commanders of the ships of the republic.

To
The commission has directed me, citizen, to transmit to you the proclamation they have thought necessary to address to all the citizens of the colony upon their arrival. You will find delineated in it the principles you love, that you ought to defend, and which, if faithfully adhered to, must secure the general good. The commission will receive with pleasure, information upon the situation of that part of the colony which you inhabit, upon the state of cultivation and the disposition of the citizens; and they will second powerfully all your efforts in favor of the public good.

Philadelphia,
MONDAY EVENING, June 6, 1796.
To what purpose do our Legislature pass acts of assembly, if the persons nominated to carry them into execution shew by their conduct an inexcusable delay in carrying them into effect. We allude to the act for providing a suitable place for removing persons infected with contagious diseases. The season is already advanced when we may daily expect to be alarmed with accounts of the arrival of vessels with some pestilential disorder—and alas! no place provided for their reception. The trust committed to the gentlemen in nomination is of the highest nature; and they ought conscientiously to acquit themselves.
So say Thousands.
Extract of a letter from Augusta, dated May 13.
"I have to acknowledge the receipt of your much esteemed favor of the 8th April, which was forwarded to me at Savannah, where Walker, Watkins, and myself have been attending the Federal Court. The Chief Justice, Mr. Ellsworth, gave great satisfaction as well by judicious determinations of the various business of the court, as by the most punctilious attention. I have the highest esteem and respect for him, and therefore could not without great pleasure, see the citizens of that proud city vying with each other in endeavors to make his stay among them agreeable to him. Gen. Jackson was absent at Louisville the first week of court. On his return he did us the honor of seating himself once or twice at the bar, but it did not appear to me among ten or a dozen of us, that he had above one or two acquaintance. Stephens and Mitchell were the only gentlemen he spoke to. He and Watkins have had another rencounter, no doubt some of your friends have made known to you, but having witnessed the most important part of the scene, you may incline to hear my account of it. The court having adjourned about eleven o'clock, the chief justice and members of the bar walked off in different directions, leaving Gen. Jackson in the court house piazza. Seeing Mr. Watkins and Mr. Phineas Miller walking towards the bay, he after some time followed them, and took great pains to walk briskly by Watkins and to go round just in front of him. Moved by contempt of such puerile behaviour, Watkins hem'd and observing the other eying of him burst out into a loud laugh looking him full in the face. The Gen. went on under apparent mortification, and complained to some of his friends of the insult he had received, and avowed a determination of caning Watkins the first place he should meet him. Instead however of going after Watkins, he makes a stand at the exchange, and had runners out in all directions to collect those in whose fidelity he had confidence; and by those means got together about twenty or thirty persons—most of whom had pistols in their pockets, and short clubs in their hands. About an hour afterwards, and while the Gen. and his party remained at the exchange, Watkins without any suspicion or knowledge of such intentions was going peaceably along the bay

arrest accompanied by Judge Walton and Colonel Armstrong. Jackson accepted Watkins who thereupon baled. Jackson then stepped up to him and asked him what he meant by that laugh, and after complimenting him with the name of assassin, they mutually proceeded to blows. Watkins having broken his sword cane, seized Jackson, took his club from him, and was drubbing him pretty soundly, when they were parted by the magistracy. Great pains were taken by the Gen. and his party to make the citizens believe that it was their quarrel and not his; and as it was a day in which several of the uniform companies dined together, and much wine and rum at command, they made a show of raising a mob who were to take the quarrel off of Jackson's hands. About 9 or 10 o'clock 15 or 20 of the mobility , headed by one Robertson (whom the Gen. has lately had appointed Secretary to the State Commissioners for treating with the Creeks) invaded our lodgings, and continued thereabouts for several hours singing Caira and other republican songs . Mr. Welleher was one of this respectable corps . I confess to you that I never found my republican principles so much on the totter as on this occasion; and Watkins who would once have headed a party to hang the Federal Marshal, had he levied an execution on the public treasury, is now a warm advocate for order, law, and government. This friend and partizan of Gen. Jackson, is the same man who distinguished himself on a former occasion when Gov. Jay and Gen. Gunn were made the subject of their mirth. Gen. Jackson is avoided by most men, as a man hostile to the social virtues; and as an evident proof of the general opinion concerning him, especially in the higher walks of life, I am assured that the Chief Justice, who dined out every day for three weeks, never met with him at any of those entertainments, although the Gen. was in the city two thirds of the time.
"I was near omitting to mention to you that there was a town meeting in Savannah a night or two after Jackson and Watkins' fracas , which was called for the purpose of devising the best means of supporting the County Representatives. How they got together is a matter of astonishment to many; as the citizens were not notified by handbills or advertisements in the papers or elsewhere, of any such intended meeting. They therefore must have been collected by private and confidential communications, which were so given as to reach only a chosen few. Mr. John Carroway Smith was unanimously chosen Chairman, and that poor devil, Robertson, the Clerk. A Committee was appointed to draw up the sense of this respectable meeting , who echoed the presentments of the Federal Grand Jury which doubtless have by this time appeared in Philadelphia. Mr. Telfair and Mr. George Jones were of the committee; and as I view this an electioneering stroke, I conclude they will severally become candidates at the next election, especially if inported by an address familiar to the one presented to Jackson by Smith, Shaffer and Lewden ."
"Judge Walton had an attack of the gout shortly after he arrived in Savannah, by which he was still confined when we left there. We however have hopes of his being able to come up by the return of the next stage, which goes and returns regularly once a week between here and Savannah; and promises to be advantageous to Capt. Twining, the proprietor, and of great public convenience. I should think with a little encouragement stages might be run successfully from one extremity of the Union to the other. It certainly is the safest and most commodious method of transporting the public mail; and therefore if the revenue of the post office would justify the experiment, it might be well enough to vest the post master general with power to close with propositions for carrying the mail in stages, in preference to the present mode, on this side of Petersburg, where they should offer to do it for any sum within twenty five per cent of the lowest bid for such contracts. Frequently letters as well as newspapers are unavoidably left in the Southern post offices for the want of room to flow them away in the portmanteau. Very few subscriptions for the northern papers have been continued, and for no other reason that I have heard of."
Every friend to good order, peace and government, is filled with fears and anxiety at this important crisis. I never liked the British treaty, and my endeavors, however feeble, were readily afforded to prevent its ratification; but being once ratified, altho' my prejudices remained, my opposition ceased. If the minister could have done better, which is scarcely to be presumed, it may be a just cause for inviting the censure, the indignation, and the vengeance of his country, but surely it can afford no grounds for withholding the necessary supplies for carrying it into execution. As threatening as the form now appears I cannot believe, but that the House of Representatives will recede. The happy genius of the great Washington was never more necessary than on this trying occasion. Had almost any other man been at the helm, America would have been involved in war. I think it the greatest honor of my life that I was one of his electors. I find great pains taken in the Southern States to disseminate the report of his being determined not again to serve as President. Pray inform me if his declarations warrant the report."
MIDDLETON, (Con.) May 20. Extract of a letter from Savannah, dated May 7. "Party spirit runs very high in this place, and the whole state is in confusion—nothing but dueling is going forward—the consequences are serious. Gen. Jackson, is the champion of the day and has a large party, but the opposition are exerting themselves to throw him down and it's possible will succeed. Jackson never rides, or walks out, but with a pair of pistols—one day last week a number of gentlemen were under the Vendue house, among others were Mr. Watkins, the man who had a fray with Jackson at Louisvile. Jackson then passing, stepped up to Watkins and gave him several blows with his cane—unluckily for him Watkins arrested it from him, and beat him very severely—by this time a man was seen handing a pair of pistols in the fray, but happily no lives were lost or any other damage done except the breaking of a few canes."
NEW-YORK, June 2. We have a regular series of that excellent Paris paper, the National Gazette or Moniteur , from
the 20th of February, to April 8. It is filled principally with debates and proceedings of the Legislative Body, from which some interesting particulars may be selected for American papers. It is also the most authentic channel of intelligence. The Legislative Body is occupied principally with the restoration of finances, and in correcting the evils necessarily introduced into the transactions between individuals, by the depreciation of assignats. In the paper of the 8th, the latest date received, Rousseau, as the organ of a Committee on the payment of private engagements, reported in favor of repealing the laws of 25 Messidor and 12 Frimaire last, which had suspended the reimbursement of private debts, on account of the low value of assignat; and proposing to pass a law, declaring that all contracts made prior to January 1, 1792, and all obligations for specie or ingots, of a later date, should be discharged in mandates.
When these suspensions of payment took place, assignats were worth only 3 1-2 per cent. Some provisions for creditors seemed necessary at that time. But as the mandates are issued on good security, and as the reporter expresses it, realizable at pleasure , it is maintained that all kinds of creditors ought to receive their debts in them at par. Debts contracted since January 1792, whose real value is not fixed by the contract, he proposed to pay according to a scale of depreciation. This report occasioned a lengthy and important debate, which was not closed at the date of the last paper.
Economy is an object of great attention with the present legislators of France. Ramel, minister of finances, has ordered all the agents of the Republic, Representatives, who are furnished with carriages and harness from the public magazines, to deliver them at the depot of the late church of Magdalene. By order of the Executive Directory, the carriages of the general direction are to be sold—the office suppressed—and no carriages for officers or agents are to be furnished at the public expense, except to ministers.
The Council of Five Hundred after a long discussion, adopted the resolution of Audouin, relative to the fathers and mothers of emigrants. An English and French squadron are in the Archipelago. The Turkish government has given strict orders that no hostilities be committed under the cannon of their forts.
The plague has made terrible ravages in Turkey, the winter past, as also in the lower Hungary. The Grand Seigneur, in spite of the clamors of the priests, who are the followers of the Koran in the doctrine of fatalism, has established Lazarettos and ordered quarantine.
On the 4th of April were burnt 12 millions of assignats, proceeding from the sale of National domains; and 115 millions, the produce of the forced loan. Total sum now burnt, 2618 millions. The Council of Five Hundred, after a lengthy debate and violent opposition, have decided on the expediency of forming a National Lottery.
Accounts from Vienna of March 14 ascribe the delay of the Archduke's departure for the army, to great falls of snow.
Latest Intelligence from France. Translated for the MINERVA, from the MONITEUR. PARIS, April 8. EXECUTIVE DIRECTORY. April 3. The Executive Directory decrees, that the resignation of Citizen Merlin, Minister of General Police of the Republic, is accepted—it names the said Merlin, minister of justice.
ADDRESS. The Executive Directory, citizen Minister, take too much interest in the preservation of a man, who has demonstrated his zeal and devotion in the painful labors of minister of police, to decline accepting your resignation, notwithstanding a strong desire that you should remain at the difficult post you have quit.
But they think it a duty to appoint you again to be Minister of Justice. Your experience in that office renders the duty easy, and the Directory seize, with pleasure, this occasion to conciliate the care of your health, with the usefulness which the Republic expects from the employment of your talents and patriotism.
Arret of April 3. The Executive Directory nominates as Minister of General Police, Cochon, representative of the people and member of the council of Elders. This arret shall be printed.
Same day. The Executive Directory decrees, that the resignation of citizen Genniffieu, minister of Justice, is accepted. The said citizen Genniffieu is named Consul of the French Republic at Barcelona. Ordered to be printed.
ADDRESS. The Directory, citizen Minister, is not mistaken in the sentiment which has dictated the letter, covering your resignation. They there read the zeal of a good citizen, who forgets his own interest, when his country demands his services. They there see the modesty of a distinguished man, who is always the last to set a value on himself.
The Directory, however, accept your resignation, but solely because there offers an occasion for them to give you a proof of their esteem and confidence. The Consulate of Barcelona is vacant; the duties of that office demand the abilities of which you have given proofs, and tried patriotism. The Directory believe they cannot better serve the public than by confiding it to you.
Same day. The Executive Directory decrees, that the citizen Pichegru, late General in chief of army of the Rhine, is named Ambassador of the French Republic in Sweden. Ordered to be printed.
ADDRESS. When the Executive Directory, Citizen General, yielded to your repeated solicitations, to give you a successor in the command of the army of the Rhine, it was only in the hope of employing you still in the service of the Republic, in a way as useful to the state, as honorable to yourself.
They have thought that after contributing so greatly, by your military exploits, to establish French liberty, you might, in another department, participate in confirming it, in a manner equally effectual.
Anxious, therefore, to give you a new proof of their confidence and esteem, they have appointed you Ambassador of the Republic in Sweden.
The Directory are persuaded that in treating on the great interests of the state, you will add to the military renown you have acquired, the praise of important success in political negotiations, and that you will crown your glory by acquiring new claims to national gratitude.

Philadelphia, June 6.
Mr. Bache in his paper published on Saturday, says that this Gazette is "assisted in its circulation by a knot of friends to good government"—he is thanked for this information, and it is hoped that he will be soon enabled to notify the public that this is more extensively the case. He adds, that he knew the "Editor received for printing from the Senate of the United States, and from the public offices, some thousand dollars a year"—This is not true. Mr. Bache has added several other insinuations, the whole as void of foundation as the most baseless fabrication ever published in the Aurora .
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Canandarqua, dated May 18th, 1796.
"The British are making every preparation to leave Niagara, and have already dismounted their cannon, and moved some of their military stores on their own side of the river, into a new magazine which they have built."

WARSAW, March 9.
KOSCIUSKO, and his few friends still remain prisoners at Petersburg. Their firmness and constancy gain them the esteem even of their enemies. They are well treated; and that, too, by the immediate orders of the Imperial Catharine—but she will never work on the affections of Kosciusko. He lives in a palace, has a table everyday of 15 covers, and is attended by a physician of the court daily, who has orders to enquire respecting his health in the name of the Empress, but he has not liberty to write. He does not read, speaks little, and will let still for hours leaning his head on his hand. In his misfortunes one companion remains with him; and that is a negro which came with him from the United States of America, and has been his inseparable companion. A rupture between Russia and the Ottoman Porte grows daily more inevitable.
LISBON, March 8.
The Polyphemus in passing from Brazil to Asia, has been taken, after an action of 5 hours, by the French frigate Convention, of 44 guns. She had on board 20,000 louis d'or value in corals, and about 90,000 louis d'or in Portuguese gold and Spanish silver. After taking out the property, and spiking her cannon, the French put on board a number of English prisoners, and left her.
PARIS, April 10.
Letters from Cadiz, of the 21st Ventose, mention another insurrection in the squadron of Citizen Richery. The cause is found to originate in the distribution of the prize money. The crew of Barras have arrested their officers; and that of the frigate Frimousse have released several volunteers who were in irons, and menaced the captain and officers to put them in their places. They have been let on by several Irish commercial houses there. These rebels had established a tribunal ashore; where they gave out they intended to try several officers:—But thanks to the firmness of admiral Richery, and the assistance he has received from the Spanish commandant, the insurrection is appeased; and many of the actors in it arrested. In the squadron about one hundred have been taken, and are continually going to France to be tried.
The squadron has orders to take on board six months provision and eight months wine. It is said they will soon put to sea, and are supposed bound to India.
FROM THE WEST-INDIES.
By the arrival of Capt. Pote in 24 days from Port Royal, Martinique, we learn, That the English are carrying on a very vigorous siege against St. Lucia. In the first attempt to land, it is said, they lost 500 men; and a 74 gun ship was sunk by French battery. They at length, however, effected a landing, and took some inferior forts. The French re-vailing to the almost impregnable fortresses, Morne Fortune, where they would probably defend themselves till the last extremity. They fought desperately in every rencounter; and vessels were continually arriving at Martinique, with wounded soldiers.
The English at Jamaica, we are told by Capt. Clark, relax from their recent practice of condemning American vessels. An execution having been granted by the court of appeal in London, in favor of Mr. Tisdale, of this town, against the captors of a vessel belonging to that gentleman, which had been condemned and sold by a decree of the Vice Admiralty Court, the decree being reversed, they were alarmed, finding they should have to pay nearly twice the amount of the sales. These circumstances had damped the ardour for plunder; and it was supposed, would operate to the release of the American vessels now there.
James Barnes and Samuel Lovette of Salem, impressed, are on board the Majestic , British ship.
At the meeting of the annual Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Clergy, and the Lay Deputies from the different Churches in this State, held on Tuesday last in this town, they made choice of the Rev. Dr. Edward Duff of Newbury Port, by a unanimous vote for the Bishop of this State. The Rev. Dr. has not declared his acceptance of the appointment as yet, though little doubt is entertained of it.
From Europe. By Capt. Mirk, arrived on Sunday, in 47 days from France, our dews from thence is several days later than before received. Some extracts from papers will be found under the foreign head. The captain's verbal information is, that a peace between the French and Germans will speedily take place; that the Territorial Mandats, or new paper emission depreciates rapidly; and was at 300 for 1, notwithstanding the rigorous penalties for every act which might injure their credit; that provisions were extremely low; and that all kind of profitable business was stagnated.

Pennsylvania, ss. By THOMAS MIFFLIN, Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS the General Assembly did, on the fourth day of April last, resolve, "That the Governor be requested to issue a proclamation, reciting the act entitled "An act to prevent intrusions on lands, within the counties of Northampton, Northumberland and Luzerne," and enjoining obedience to the same; and that he be forthwith required to cause the same to be published in the newspapers of the states of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts; and whereas the act, in the said resolution referred to is expressed in the following words:
"Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That if any person shall, after the passing of this act, take possession of, enter, intrude or settle on any lands within the limits of the counties of Northampton, Northumberland, or Luzerne, by virtue or under colour of any conveyance of half share right, or any other pretended title not derived from the authority of this commonwealth, or of the late proprietaries of Pennsylvania before the Revolution, such person, upon being duly convicted thereof, upon indictment in any court of oyer and terminer, or court of general quarter sessions, to be held in the proper county, shall forfeit and pay the sum of two hundred dollars, one half to the use of the county, and the other half to the use of the informer, and shall also be subject to such imprisonment, not exceeding twelve months, as the court before whom such conviction is had may in their discretion direct."
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That every person who shall combine, or conspire for the purpose of conveying, possessing or settling on any lands within the limits aforesaid, under any half share right or pretended title as aforesaid, or for the purpose of laying out townships by persons not appointed or acknowledged by the laws of this commonwealth, and every person that shall be accessory thereto, before or after the fact, shall, for every such offence, forfeit and pay a sum not less than five hundred, nor more than one thousand dollars, one half to the use of the county, and the other half to the use of the informer; and shall also be subject to such imprisonment at hard labour, not exceeding eighteen months, as the court in their discretion may direct.
Sec. 3. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That the court wherein any such conviction shall have been had, shall issue their writ to the sheriff of the county wherein the said offence has been committed, or the said conviction had, or if the said court shall be of opinion that the sheriff or coroner are not impartial, then to any other person or persons they may think proper, commanding him or them, together with the power of the county, if he or they should judge their assistance necessary, to proceed to the lands in question, and therefrom to expel and eject all and every the person and persons therein intruded as aforesaid; and if the said sheriff, or other person or persons appointed as aforesaid, should make return to the said writ that he or they have been unable to execute the same, by reason of the forcible resistance of the parties or any other persons, or from a just apprehension of such resistance as would render the execution thereof by himself or themselves, and the power of the county, impracticable, the prothonotary of the court to which such writ is so returned shall forthwith transmit a copy of the said writ and return, under the seal of the said court, to the governor, and if upon the said return, or if upon a certificate signed by the president, or one of the judges of the court of common pleas of the proper county, or by one of the judges of the supreme court, that the proceedings of the court has been resisted, or that there is reason to believe that the civil authority will be incompetent to the execution of this law, the governor shall deem it expedient to order out a portion of the militia of this state to assist the civil authority in carrying into effect this act, or any part thereof: The detachments so called out shall receive the same pay and rations, and be subject to the same rules and regulations, as are provided in other cases.
Sec. 4. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if a judge of the court of quarter sessions for the proper counties, or a judge of the supreme court shall apprehend that the sheriff and coroner are not impartial, it shall and may be lawful for the said judge to direct the venire for the grand inquest, and for the traverse jury, to any person or persons he or they may think proper.
Sec. 5. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That if any person or persons shall resist any officer, or other person duly authorised in the execution of this act, or any part thereof, every person or persons so offending, and every person that shall be accessory thereto, before or after the fact, shall, on conviction, forfeit and pay a sum not more than five thousand nor less than five hundred dollars, and undergo an imprisonment at hard labour for any period not less than three nor more than seven years.
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That in order to disseminate a knowledge of the provisions contained in this act, it shall be the duty of the prothonotaries of the several courts of common pleas of the counties of Northampton, Northumberland and Luzerne, and they are hereby respectively enjoined and required to read or cause to be read, in open court, the said act, and every part thereof, at least once in each of the three terms next after receiving the same; and also it shall and may be lawful for the governor of this commonwealth to issue his proclamation, enjoining and requiring all persons having intruded as aforesaid, to withdraw peaceably from the lands whereon such intrusions have been made; and further enjoining and requiring the several officers of government, and the good citizens of this state, to prevent or prosecute by all legal means, such intrusions and intruders, and to afford their most prompt and effectual aid in their several and respective capacities, to carry into full execution the laws of this commonwealth relative thereto; provided always, that nothing in this act contained shall extend to the claims of persons claiming lands under and by virtue of an act entitled "An act for ascertaining and confirming to certain persons called Connecticut claimants, the lands claimed by them within the county of Luzerne, and for other purposes therein mentioned", passed the twenty-eighth day of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven: And provided further, that this act, or any thing therein expressed, shall not be considered as intended to affect any claims under the said law nor as a Legislative construction or opinion respecting said act, or an act entitled, "An act to repeal an act entitled, "An act for ascertaining and confirming to certain persons called Connecticut claimants, the lands by them claimed within the county of Luzerne, and for other purposes therein mentioned", passed the first day of April, one thousand seven hundred and ninety, or the validity or effect of either of the said laws."
NOW, THEREFORE, In compliance with the said recited request of the General Assembly, and in pursuance of the authority to me by law given, as aforesaid, I HAVE issued this PROCLAMATION; hereby, in all things, enjoining obedience to the provisions in the said act of the General Assembly contained; and more especially requiring all persons, having intruded upon any lands, in the manner in the said act specified and prohibited, to withdraw peaceably therefrom, as well as warning and forbidding all persons whomsoever from hereafter making any intrusion upon such lands, under the penalties in the said recited act of the General Assembly declared and imposed. And the several officers of the government, and all the good citizens of this state, are further enjoined and required to prevent or prosecute by all legal means such intrusions and intruders, and to afford the most prompt, and effectual aid, in their several and respective capacities, to carry into full execution the laws of this Commonwealth relative thereto.
GIVEN under my Hand, and the Great Seal of the State, at Philadelphia, this sixteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety-six, and of the Commonwealth the twentieth.
THOMAS MIFFLIN. By the Governor, A. J. DALLAS, Secretary of the Commonwealth.
