THE Subscriber respectfully begs leave to inform his friends and the public in general, that he has removed from No. 166 South 2d Street, to that large, commodious, House in Water Street, between Chestnut and Walnut Streets, lately occupied by Mr. Isaac Hazlehurst, and on which he has spared no pains or expense, to make it convenient and agreeable for the reception of gentlemen.

JUST PUBLISHED, By FRANCIS & ROBERT BAILEY, and to be sold at their Bookstore, No. 116 High Street, and by the principal Printers and Booksellers throughout the United States, A Revealed Knowledge of the Prophecies and Times,
Particularly of the present time, the present war, and the prophecy now fulfilling. Containing, with other great and remarkable things not revealed to any other person on Earth, the sudden and perpetual FALL of the TURKISH, GERMAN and RUSSIAN empires. Wrote under the direction of the Lord God, and published by his sacred command; it being a second sign of warning for the benefit of all nations; by the man that will be revealed to the Hebrews as their Prince and Prophet. The year of the World 5813. By RICHARD BROTHERS.
FROM the following Extracts the Public will be enabled to form a judgment of this work.
"A man that has been an officer in the Navy, whose immediate ancestors have been separated from the Jews for such a considerable length of time as to make them forget they ever belonged to the name, such a man declaring himself openly to the world a prophet of God, the revealed prince allotted to order the sudden return of the Hebrews from all nations, and govern them in the land of Israel, will, with some reason I allow, excite both astonishment and doubt; but from the multiplied recorded testimonies I produce, which no other on earth can, it ought not to prevail with any person as a just objection against believing what I write."
"The prophet Daniel, chapter 8, verse 8. And four gr. at beaks came up from the sea, different from one another. 4. The first was like a Lion, and it had Eagle's wings; I beheld 'till the wings were plucked, when it was lifted up on the Earth, and made to stand on the feet as a man: and a man's heart was given to it."
"The Lion means George the Third, the present King of England: plucking the wings of the Lion, means taking away the power of the king: made to stand on the feet as a man, with a man's heart, means his reduction to the condition of other men, and possessing similar thoughts."
"The SPANISH MONARCHY will cease by this war, and the STADTHOLDERSHIP of HOLLAND will be cut off close to the ground; according to the visions of god to me, in 1792, and which I communicated at that time, by his sacred command, to the King and Queen of England."
"The Dutch will acknowledge the French Republic, and make a hasty peace with it; the PORTUGUESE and PRUSSIANS will do the same."
"The UNITED STATES of AMERICA will declare war against England; but before they do, France will lose all her West India Islands; and after they do, Jamaica will be the last in the possession of the English."

A FACT.
A gentleman, this day passing by a place in Third-street, where a house is erecting, heard one of the workmen say to another, "well the President has signed the Treaty,"—the other replied, "I am glad of it; for he has more sense in his single scull than all its opposers put together."

NEWS FROM FRANCE.
Yesterday arrived the ship Ariel, Capt. Decatur, from Bordeaux, which place he left the 28th June, and informs, that two days before he failed a Danish brig arrived, and gave intelligence, that she had been taken near Breit by a squadron of 7 British ships of the line, and several frigates, but immediately after dismissed, in consequence of the appearance of a French fleet of 12 sail of the line, which came up with and engaged the British, and after some time saw four of the latter strike their colors, and the French pursuing the rest.
Captain Decatur assures us, that the Danish captain went before the Municipality of Bordeaux, produced his log-book, containing a minute of the above transaction, and solemnly made oath of the truth of its contents.
The following was communicated to Captain Decatur by a gentleman direct from Brest previous to the arrival of the Dane:—The fleet in that port were for some time so inactive, that at a late period there were but two men of war in the harbour fit for service, and their enemy's squadrons, taking advantage of the neglect were continually on the coast, and frequently shewed themselves at the harbour's mouth, which at length roused the officers and sailors to such a spirit of activity, that in the short space of two days, eleven ships of the line were in readiness, and actually set sail at the departure of the informant.
ARRIVED.

Capt. Swaine informs, that 8 Dutch Indiamen, from the Cape of Good Hope, were taken by the British near St. Helena, at which place they meant to touch for refreshment, not being informed of hostilities between their nation and Great Britain. A store-ship from England, which parted with a fleet of six sail of the line, arrived at St. Helena, while captain Swaine lay there.
Capt. Billis, of the Schooner Columbia, on Tuesday, July 28, at 3 P. M. was brought to, by the republican ship Brutus, in sight of St. Thomas: he had taken one ship from Jamaica bound to Halifax, and sent her to Boston.—Dismissed us very politely.

BOSTON, August 12.
Extract of a letter from Capt. Tinkham, to his brother at Wiscasset, dated
Morant-Bay, Jamaica, May 23, 1794.
"We arrived at this place the 8th instant, and having an offer for our cargo, the same price as was selling in Kingston, concluded to sell, as it was very likely in town. We had got our deck load nearly on shore, when, on the 14th, the British man of war Regulus, of 44 guns commanded by George Oakes, came in and took and carried away every one of our men, except the master. We immediately applied to a magistrate, and made out an account of the amount of vessel and cargo, (leaving her on the hands of Oakes, and demanding payment for the same, or the men to be delivered up) which Capt. Savage swore to, and procured a boat to carry him off to deliver it to Oakes, but the ship was under way before Capt. Savage could get on board. Capt. Savage has been very particular respecting his proceedings in regard to the men in his letter to you, I shall not therefore enlarge on this subject; but only just observe, that I hope both we and the poor men, will get ample satisfaction for this piratical proceeding. We should have made a very good voyage, was it not for the detention and expense we shall be put to by the loss of our men; and when we shall get away, God only knows."
This letter has not come to hand. The men were all born and live at, or within a few miles of Wiscasset.
By the brig Eliza, Capt. Fairfield, arrived at Salem, the editor has received the Northern Star, published at Belfast, to June 22, which the Post-Master at Salem was good enough to send yesterday. Extracts from them follow, and more shall be given.
PARIS, June 16.
Adjutant-General Charpentier has this day presented to the Convention, the twenty-four standards taken at Luxemburg. The garrison consisted of 11,187 men. The military stores taken are 819 cannon, 16,944 muskets, 1,330,000 wt. powder, and 816,000 wt. of lead and copper. The Chouans are not suppressed. They still threaten milchief. Toulon is again restored to the republic. The Jacobins are completely routed. Many have been killed, and many more must suffer.
June 18.
The Son of Louis XVI. was buried on the 10th inst. in the evening, in the churchyard of St. Marguerite. He was conveyed to the grave by three commissioners appointed for that purpose, by the committee of general safety. Previously to the body being put into the coffin, it was opened by two surgeons, in the presence of several persons, in order to afford complete proof of his having died a natural death. The daughter of the late king is in an infirm state of health, and change of air has been prescribed for her.
It is generally believed at Paris, that she will be permitted to reside in the southern parts of France; and it is even intimated by some, that she will be suffered to quit the republic, and join her relations.
Letters from Saintes of the 31st Prarial, 9th inst. state, that Barrere had arrived in that town for the purpose of being carried before the criminal tribunal of the Lower Charente, by which he is to be tried. He is treated with some respect. His colleagues, Billaud and Collot, have certainly failed to Guiana. The captain, we are informed, has received orders to treat them as galley slaves, and to keep them chained.
HARBINGERS OF PEACE.
DIET OF RATISBON, June 2.
The sessions of the Diet re-commenced to day. They were opened with discussions on the Imperial decree of commission, respecting the overtures for an acceptable peace. In the College of Electors, the Electorate of Brandenburg made several propositions relative to the declaration presented in the Diet, and which had already appeared in different publications. The Electorate of Treves has already voted in the Princely College, as well as Magdeburg, Augsburg, Palatinate, Deux Ponts, Hesse Cassel, and Pomerania. The Directory of the Diet has resolved, that an extraordinary Congress shall be held next Wednesday, in which the respective ambassadors are confidentially to discuss the propositions made on the business relative to preparations for a peace.
Mr. Von Hugel, the Imperial Con-Commisary, has, per interim, communicated to the Diet, that his majesty the emperor is actually engaged in a negotiation with France; and that the Diet of the empire will soon receive further information relative to this important object.
BASLE, May 30.
The negotiations of a peace between the German empire and France, are said to have for their object the exchange of several places; conformable to which, the Moselle, from its source to the Meuse, as far as the North Sea, is to be the future boundary of France. The Abbe Syeyes is said to be the projector of this plan.
Condemnation and Execution of several Members of the Convention.
JUNE 17.
MILITARY COMMISSION.
At half past twelve o'clock, the Commission condemned to death, Romme, Duquesnoy, Duroy, Bourbotte, Soubrany and Goujon, convicted of being accomplices in the dreadful events which took place on the 20th May, of having conspired against the Republic, aimed at the dissolution of the National Representation, and the assassination of her Members.
Peyssard, on account of his having been less violent and rebellious in his conduct, though at the same time, convicted, by his own confession, of having moved for the removal of the constituted authorities, as reorganized since the 9th Thermidor, the Commission condemned to transportation.
Forelier, not having been proved to have taken an active part in the events of the 20th May, the Commission orders, he shall be conducted to the House of Arrest; and be under the surveyance of the Committee of General Safety, who may order what they find convenient relative to him.
After judgment had been pronounced, Goujon said, There is my portrait, which I beseech you to return to my wife.
Duquesnoy. I trust you with this letter, it contains my adieu to my friends and my wife. I desire that my blood may be the last innocent blood which shall be shed. May it consolidate the Republic. Vive la Republique.
Bourbotte. The enemies to liberty, are those who have asked for my blood. My last vow—my last sigh shall be for my country.
The condemned put on the bureau, their pocket books, a letter, and a deputy ticket.
Duroy, Bourbotte, and Soubrany, were put in the cart at one o'clock, P. M.
Duroy, when in the yard of the Tribunal, pointing to some of the members of the Commission, said, "There are the assassins who enjoy their own work! Oh, how unhappy am I, to have failed in putting an end to my existence! Were these hands of mine made to be tied by a common executioner! Enjoy! enjoy the spectacle, Messieurs Aristocrats!"
Bourbotte was executed the last. He said on the scaffold, "We are not guilty! Adieu till our next meeting!"
Romme, Duquesnoy, and Goujon, killed themselves, as soon as condemned.
FRANKFORT, May 29.
The French army of the Rhine has lately been reinforced; they are making every possible disposition of crossing the Rhine in several places, in case peace should not take place with the empire: many intrenchments have been raised by them opposite Marheim, to secure themselves against the German troops, assembling in great numbers at Eanheim. Meanwhile the hopes of peace increase daily, the apartments for Government are actually repairing at Mentz, by order from the Elector. The French representatives, Merlin and Cavignac, had a long conference at Ongerheim with the agent of a German sovereign.
Baron de Hardenberg, the Prussian minister of state, held a long conference with count de Lehrbach, and M. Albini, minister of the elector of Mentz. It appears that count de Lehrbach, after visiting Cassel and other courts, will repair to Basle.
COLOGNE, May 26.
Nothing of importance has passed lately with respect to the movements of the armies.
The Austrians are not in great force opposite to us; and it appears that they will undertake nothing of importance in this quarter. Since their unsuccessful efforts on the Upper Rhine they have remained wholly inactive.
These countries do not experience any scarcity, and all the objects of the first necessity are in great plenty.
BASLE, May 20.
It is now certain, that the chevalier d'Yriarte, the Spanish envoy, has actually received plenipotentiary powers to commence a negotiation for peace between France and Spain, with citizen Barthelemy.
The negotiations of a peace between the German empire and France are said to have for their object, the exchange of several places; conformable to which, the Moselle, from its source to the Meuse, as far as the North Sea, is to be the future boundary of France. The abbe Syeyes is said to be the projector of this plan.
RATISBON, May 26.
In consequence of the proposition made on the 21st to the Diet of the empire, by the dictatorial minister of Mentz, a preparatory conference has taken place between the electoral ministers. After which each of them sent a courier extraordinary to his court. It is generally thought that the city of Frankfort will be chosen to hold the Congress.
This proposition has at last been warmly received.
STOCKHOLM, May 22.
The accession of our king in quality of duke of Pomerania, to the peace concluded between Prussia and France, will shortly be announced to the Diet of Ratisbon. The consequences of this destructive war will thus cease to be further troublesome to Pomerania, as no more Roman months nor any other charges can be exacted.
ITALY, May 23.
The head quarters of the Austrian army have been removed from Alexandria to Aegia, where 24,000 men are assembled. On the arrival of General Kellerman with the French army, General Scherer quitted it to take upon him the command of the army of the eastern Pyrenees. The French make serious dispositions for the purpose of pushing forward on the side of Asota.
WESEL, June 4.
General Jourdon and four representatives of the French people were expected at Cologne, on the 29th ult. their sudden departure has given rise to various conjectures.
AMSTERDAM, June 7.
Within these two days past 15 vessels have arrived from the North, laden with naval stores and provisions. One of them fell in with two Dutch sloops of war, having with them 12 merchantmen, which they captured in the North Seas.
HUNINGEN, 1st Prarial,
We arrived here on the 28th of Floreal, with Gen. Pichegru. On the 29th, Baron de Hardenburg, the Prussian ambassador, invited the representative and the general to dinner at Basle. They answered, that they would not go out of the territories of the Republic, but the armies, or when a peace was made. The ambassador, being curious to see Merlin of Thionville and Pichegru, asked leave to dine with them at Huningen; whither he repaired with the ambassador Barthelemy, the ministers of Hesse, Wurtemberg, and others. The greatest cordiality prevailed during the dinner; and I really think Prussia sincere, and to be relied on, in her pacific advances.
We understand, that all Germany is ready to ask for peace, through the medium of Prussia.
Further Particulars of the Fire.
COPENHAGEN, June 6.
Yesterday afternoon, a little after three o'clock, by some unfortunate accident, which remains unknown to this moment, a fire broke out in the buildings of the Old Holm, where the ship timber and other naval stores for the fleet are kept. The flames, with an incredible rapidity, still further increased by a very strong wind from the southeast, spread to the great magazine, and also set fire to this edifice so essential to the state, after the principal things kept in it had however been previously saved. While the firemen were occupied here in extinguishing the flames, the fire also broke out at the same time in the steeple of the church of St. Nicholas, which lies at the distance of three whole streets from the Holm, and had even escaped in the great fire of 1728; the flames not only destroyed, in a very little time, this beautiful edifice, but spread also through all the adjacent streets, so that at this time almost the whole of Old Holm, the College of Admiralty, and the buildings belonging to it, the edifices along the canal, the old strand, and all the houses situated in that part of the city, are now entirely in ashes. The number of houses already burnt, is estimated to amount to several hundreds.
The damages which this conflagration occasioned, cannot yet be ascertained, though it is already estimated to amount to several millions of six dollars.
The Prince Royal, who hastened immediately with the Princes of Hesse Auguilenburg and Wurtemberg, to give assistance, was extremely active in encouraging the people occupied in getting the flames under; but our fire engines and fire men, which are good in other respects, could have no great effect, owing to the violence of the wind, which threw large flecks of fire all over the city.
The conflagration, especially the fall of the lofty pile of the church of St. Nicholas, exhibited a most terrific and awful grand spectacle. The city was illuminated all night, as in a fine clear moonlight night. In this melancholy crisis, of which we cannot foretell the termination at this moment, the Prince Royal will probably not set out to the Swedish camp, to which he has been invited in the
name of his Swedish Majesty, by Count Manner and Sreenbock, although his departure was fixed for next Monday, and persons had been appointed to compose the suite of his Royal Highness.
p. s. The fire continues to spread farther and farther, and the whole Guildhall is now in flames; apprehensions are also entertained for the church of Our Lady, though all possible pains are taken to save it from the danger. All the houses that have no walls to resist fire are pulled down to prevent the conflagration spreading farther. Both the soldiers and sailors, whose number has been considerably increased here by the fitting out of the fleet, have much distinguished themselves.
It cannot yet be stated with any degree of certainty how the fire first broke out; some say by a copper of tar boiling over; others say it has been done on purpose; but such reports are not to be warranted. The fire has already raged thirty hours.
Second Postscript. This moment, as the mail is going the progress of the fire has been stopped.
LIVERPOOL, June 11.
Extract of a letter from Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, April 13, 1795.
"We arrived here after a passage of nine days from Spithead, in company with his Majesty's ships Monarch, Admiral Elphinstone, Arrogant, Sphinx and Rattlesnake, with the Amilton Indiaman. We are only to stop here 24 hours, and then to proceed against the Cape of Good Hope with all speed; but it is feared that a squadron of nine French line of battle ships will be there before us. However, if we are lucky in taking the Cape, we are to proceed against the Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, and all other Dutch and French settlements thereabouts. Commodore Blanket, with two sixty fours, have just joined us, and we are getting under weigh for the Cape."
LONDON, June 10.
The Ambassadors from the Dutch Republic have been presented to the Convention, and received with great honors.
The Funeral of Ferrand, who was assassinated, was celebrated on the 2d inst. with pomp; all the deputies were dressed in their costumes, and the Foreign Ambassadors assisted at the ceremony in deep mourning.
GRAVELINES, June 13.
Yesterday at P. M. we had the sad prospect of the loss of an American vessel, loaded with corn. Her name was the Pallas of Philadelphia, Robert Crawford master. She had sailed from Altona the 5th of June bound for Lisbon, run aground on a bank off Dunkirk, and from that moment to the 12th in the evening, she made 12 feet of water. The crew escaped with great difficulty. She went down last night off Vanpoole's farm, half a league East of this port. It is thought the cargo is quite lost.

CATO—No. VI.
HAVING had occasion to shew, in considering the treaty in a mere commercial view, that it contained an express relinquishment of the Indian trade; that it placed the West-Indian commerce upon so disadvantageous a footing as to render foreign nations our carriers, not only in that trade, but in the exportation of many articles (as sugar, cotton, coffee, cocoa) that we might import from the West Indies, or raise among ourselves. I proceed now to shew, that our vessels will become equally useless in the European trade, if the treaty goes into effect. By the simple operation of her navigation laws. Britain had possessed herself of almost the whole of the carrying trade between the United States and her dominions. From October 1789 to September 1790, both inclusive, the amount of our exports to Britain and her dominions were of the value of nine millions three hundred and sixty-three dollars, and our imports from thence, upwards of fifteen millions two hundred thousand dollars, making together, upwards of twenty-four millions five hundred thousand dollars, on which commerce we paid Britain a balance of near six millions, while we gained from thence a balance of more than two millions and one half; yet this immense trade with Britain only employed 433,800 tons of American vessels, while the trade to France employed 111,410 tons, thought our trade with her was less than one fifth of our trade with Britain. The extreme injury the United States sustained by thus suffering a foreign nation to run away with their carrying trade, and of course cutting the sinews of their commerce; and maritime strength was urged as the best argument for the formation of the federal government, as by that means we should acquire the means of making restrictive laws upon the commerce of nations that oppressed ours. We accordingly find that very early after the formation of our government, tonnage duties were imposed upon foreign vessels, and the immediate effect of them was to add new vigour to our own navigation; it will appear by the present state of our tonnage, compared with that I have given, that under the operation of this law, we were progressing so fast to a considerable degree of rank among maritime nations, as to incur the jealousy of that ambitious and selfish people, who fancy themselves the lords of the ocean, and consider every other that attempts to navigate it, as intruders upon their rights. To this cause we must attribute, in part, the various attacks that they have from time to time made on our commerce; it remained, however, to give it a fatal and final blow, which should put it out of our power to carry for ourselves or others; and the honor of effecting this was reserved for our envoy extraordinary, and a majority of that body to whom the States had confided our dearest rights. I have already observed that the 12th article, taken together with the instructions of the 8th of January (at this moment in force) effectually precludes us, not only from the carrying trade of British or French Islands, even though France has generously admitted us to carry from hers on the most favourable terms, but has actually cut off the carriage of our own commodities and certain others of foreign and domestic growth from our own States. That the trade of Indian goods is so managed also, as necessarily to fall to the share of Britain, to the exclusion of ourselves. Let us now see on what footing our European trade will stand: first, in time of peace, and next, when Britain shall be at war. By our tonnage and revenue laws, our ships had an advantage in the trade to Britain of 44 cents the ton and the discriminating duty of near 10 per cent operated as a premium upon our own shipping, yet even this by no means counteracted the effect of the navigation laws, and other restraints upon our commerce. But still under the operation of these flat rates of the United States, our trade and navigation flourished and was increasing, and as we referred a right in our own hands, in case of new burdens to impose further duties upon those that injured us, we had the most perfect se

city against any further legal attacks upon our commerce. Because such was the nature of our commodities as to be essential to the nations with whom we dealt while a variety of markets could furnish upon nearly equal terms, those that we wanted. To Britain we paid an annual balance of near six millions of dollars, which she must necessarily and perhaps forever, have lost, if by a commercial warfare she diverted it into any other channel. What, however, she did not dare to attempt openly by her laws, she has fully effected by her treaty.
By the 14th and 15th articles we agree that she shall impose upon American vessels, a tonnage duty, equal to what her ships pay here, that she shall also impose a duty which shall counteract the foreign duty on American vessels. At first view this appears to be just, for why, say the apologists of the treaty, should she not impose upon your trade the restrictions you impose on hers? Does not France reserve a right to do the same? Undoubtedly; had the article stood at this point, it would have been perfectly just, and the navigation of each nation would have then depended upon the means they respectively had of building, victualling and sailing their ships, which is exactly the case between us and France. But unfortunately the articles referred to while they affect to be reciprocal, leave in full force the British navigation act, and all their other restrictive laws by this artful appendix to the 14th article, to wit: But subject always as to what respects this article to the laws and statutes of the two countries respectively." had the matter even rested here, it might again have been reciprocal (though extremely unwise on our part) since while it left the British trade laws in force it also left ours in equal force. But this was not the intention of the contracting parties. Words of reciprocity were very well to make a parade with; they would deceive the ignorant and superficial reader, but the greatest point was, while it preserved to Britain the navigation and commercial acts, by which they have raised their commerce at the expense of other nations, to beat down the barriers with which we fenced ours, and even to take from us the means, by any future arrangements of preventing the ruin of our trade.
Mr. Jay therefore agrees in the 14th article, that all our laws as well as those of Britain shall remain in force, but in the 15th article he evades the provision so far as respects us, and expressly stipulates, that we shall lay no additional charge upon Britain to countervail her navigation and other restrictive laws, but that she may, while she preserves them in full force, impose a tonnage and other duties to countervail those she had imposed, in order to enable us to bear us against them. I ask then in what this article is reciprocal? Britain had already gone as far as she dare go in oppressing our trade, and now consents that if we will permit her to continue all the burdens she has imposed upon us, and at the same time agree to let her lay such others as she thinks equivalent for our having presumed to relieve ourselves, that she will agree with us that no further partial duties shall be imposed by either. Let us enquire into the effect of these articles upon our commerce and national character. (Remainder in our next)
GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
PHILADELPHIA, August 15.
Extract of a letter from Boston to a Merchant in this City, dated August 5, 1795.
"I feel particularly obliged and gratified by your esteemed favour of 28th ult. describing the proceedings at Philadelphia, in opposition to the treaty—it confirms the opinion I early formed, that the Jacobins of our country would exert and display their collective force and influence when the treaty became public. Defeated in all their efforts, so various, and unweariedly persisted in, to destroy the Government of the union, and to involve this country in war—this last opportunity to satiate their long accumulated chagrin and revenge against the friends to peace and order; and of renewing their so often disappointed attempts for getting into office themselves, was to be improved with a zeal, and unanimity worthy their infamous principles, and the desirable objects they were to be applied to the attainment of."
Your incendiary Printer is dispatched express to Boston to rally the party, a sketch of the Treaty is published calculated to excite prepossessions favorable to their views, this was sanctioned by the injudicious comments of the only minority member from the four N. E. States, on his way home. By the influence of a combination so malignant and desperate; the treaty was represented as originating in the worst motives as containing a surrender of all commercial and political rights to Great-Britain, and as declaring hostilities against the French Republic. At a period when the public mind was but too fully irritated by the wanton Spoliations of the British upon our commerce, can it be considered so much a cause of wonder, that a few Good Citizens should have been taken by surprise, and operated upon through the medium of their passions, unwarily to act with the malignants? But independent of such, of whom the number was inconsiderable, nearly the whole of the mercantile interest and of the other respectable citizens absented themselves from the town meeting, which was consequently composed of the former description of strangers, boys and others collected by curiosity, comprising the whole strength of the party, most industriously rallied for the last stroke. For it was expected the example of Boston, would have a decided and extensive effect; and was therefore to be obtained immediately at all events. In this bold attempt they have too well succeeded, the consequences here have been a great degree of public disquiet, which every art has been resorted to, to keep alive and extend, happily however reflection exposes the fallacy, and the public opinion will repose in a direction very different from what was intended. Acts of outrage and violence will serve to bring forward many in support of the government and to defend the treaty; the public mind will thereby be enlightened as to their true interest, and in the result will be secured against a repetition of such desperate attempts for the destruction of order and good government. A writer in the Columbian Centinel, under the signature "Federalist" in a manly and decent style, has already fully refuted the intemperate, and crude objections of our town meeting, when necessary, many will appear in the public cause, with equal abilities, virtue and success. Property, probity, patriotism and talents, opposed to bankruptcy, baseness, desperation and intrigue will prevail; but to this end the most blameable supineness must be exchanged for vigilance, union and activity. My prejudices have always been strong against the British government, and in favor of the French Revolution; I fondly flattered myself, that the progress of the latter, guided by wis-
dom, would produce such distinguished blessings as to compel reformation in the former; but unhappily, Jacobinism, execrable Jacobinism has by its baneful influence blasted this fair prospect in Europe, has fatally and sorely disgraced the cause of Republicanism and the rights of man, strengthened monarchy, by furnishing it with the most powerful weapons, rendered France a melancholy picture of civil carnage, and of the most complicated distress, and in its consequences endangered the existence of our happy government.
The treaty (by some considered so obnoxious) if not fraught with all that we desire, contains perhaps as much under existing circumstances, as could be expected; as calculated to prevent war, to secure compensation for spoliations, to settle contested boundaries, to remove British garrisons from our territory, to open a very advantageous trade with the Indians, and prevent future hostilities with them so much to be desired, it possesses great and invaluable advantages. Its commercial regulations may be considered as an experiment, which good policy dictates to adopt, to be improved upon, or rejected as circumstances hereafter require; every thing by us conceded, is already possessed in fact by the British, either with our consent, or by a power we are not in a situation to control, and which indeed, we have the alleviation of seeing the powerful maritime nations of Denmark and Sweden equally affected by, and that they equally submit to it.
This country is in the enjoyment of the most unexampled prosperity and happiness; why should those be hazarded by engaging in a contest that affords no prospect of advantage, but threatens destruction to all we hold dear. These evils I trust heaven will avert, and conduct us in safety through the perils with which we are surrounded, from the machinations of wicked men."

SALEM, (Mass.) August 11, 1795.
On the 17th June a Thanksgiving was appointed in Holland, for the establishment of their government and public affairs. The religious celebration is decreed in a form, more agreeable to the Revolution, than to the ancient manners of their Republic. Mr. Dundas has shown the British nation, that the Revenue of their settlement, in India increases. The year 1794 produced above 7 millions sterling and the sales at home exceed 5 millions; and above one million after charges remained to the Revenue. The debts of the company in India are stated at 7,305,462l. sterling; in England at 6,946,323l. The Revenue of Hanover was reckoned at 916 thousand sterling, expenses at 583 thousand, and the surplus at 333 thousand.
We the Subscribers, Passengers in the brig Eliza, of Salem, William Fairfield, master, from Belfast, Ireland, upon our arrival, do testify in the most public manner, our sincere gratitude to Capt. Fairfield, for his constant endeavours to make the voyage agreeable to us, and for his useful services during forty five days till our arrival at Salem 8th of August 1795. We cannot be content to enjoy our own sentiments, without such communications to the world, as may secure to a good man the esteem he deserves, and such as may assist the influence of so good an example, in circumstances which always call for the duties of humanity, and the most lovely offices of life.

Saturday afternoon, arrived here the brig Eliza, Capt. William Fairfield, in 45 days from Belfast. Capt. F. brought to cabin and about 65 between deck passengers. We are sorry to add that one of the passengers died, and another was drowned about 12 hours before her arrival. The others are in good health.
Capt. George Smith arrived since our last from Gonaives. Left there three brigs, John Russel, Peggy Moffet, of Philadelphia, Diana, Henry, of New-York, Edmund, Rolfe, of Newburyport, and Polly of Baltimore. The last was brought in by a French cruiser. The Captain was unknown, and the mate and people were dead, and the vessel and cargo in a perishing condition. She was in possession of a guard of Blacks, and did no person soon apply for her; she would sink at her anchors.
FOR THE ORACLE OF THE DAY
MR. PIRCE, AS some of us feel a little fore upon Mr. Fenno's publication relative to the further negotiation about the Black Citizens; is not Mr. Fenno justly called upon for an explanation? Let him publish the names of those that voted Pro and Con if he dare, then the true patriots will appear in spite of his pitiful false insinuations.
A FRIEND TO TRUTH.
REMARKS.
THE public are continually witnessing the most palpable attacks on the freedom of the press.—One of the most exceptionable modes lately adopted, is that of pointing out the Editors of newspapers as the authors of their publications. If this mode is persisted in, it will undoubtedly issue in muzzling the press, for it places editors of newspapers in a worse situation than any other person in society.
The writer of "A Friend to Truth," had no reason to suppose the editor was concerned in the publication. "The insinuation is false and pitiful." And if "A Friend to Truth" will furnish the names of those who voted Pro and Con, he shall see them published.
From the COURIER of New-Hampshire.
"Tell it not in Gath," that the people of the United States of America have outraged the very authority which their own free Government empowered them to constitute!—Since Mr. Jay's return,
and the publication of the Treaty, the most shameful and riotous practices have been committed in several places, not only against the Envoy who negotiated it, but against those persons who were constitutionally appointed by
"We the People," to accept or reject it, merely because they recommended the ratification of a Treaty which they supposed more beneficial to the country in general than a state of War! If such outrages are to be connived at, who that has any principle or abilities, will hazard his reputation as a patriot by accepting a commission in the service of his country?—He who would assist in erecting an effigy, would also, but for the want of courage, stab a man in the dark—Must we suppose, that these excesses have been committed by good citizens—or, by an ignorant, unthinking rabble, excited by ill designing men? It is sincerely hoped, that the PEOPLE of the United States will order these things better in future.

REPUBLICAN TOASTS.
On the 2d July, 1795, a number of the electors of Souheastown, assembled at the house of Mr. Ishamer Weed, to congratulate each other on the issue of their late contested election: and while so- cially regaling themselves on the pleasing subject, the following federal toasts were drank
1. The State of New-York. May political faction no longer distract its councils. 2. His excellency John Jay. May our cheerful submission to his administrations, render his public station agreeable. 3. The hon. Stephen Van Rensselaer. May every ripening period of his age, be as fruitful as the blooming of his youth has been promising. 4. The hon. Judge Yates. May those who have not favored his election as their governor still respect him as their Chief Justice. 5. May the governor of our state ever be an advocate for a free exercise of delegated powers, and may every idea of checks thereon, fly before the light of political information, like nocturnal vapours before the rising sun. 6. May we always remember that a successful administration of government, very much depends on the disposition of the subjects, and that a froward can never be a happy people. 7. May we beware of an undue distrust of our rulers, knowing that the most perfect rectitude, will hardly bear the inspection of a suspicious eye. 8. May we never complain of defects in our constitution, while their removal (if any) waits on the voice of the people, nor of public measures, while we are unacquainted with public exigencies. 9. May the citizens of our several states, conceive of themselves as members of one family, and as drinking at streams from the same fountain. 10. May we always remember that our political safety depends on the firmness of our union, and on the free exercise of the powers vested in Congress by the constitution. 11. May the constitutional decisions of a majority ever meet the approbation, and the clamours of a minority the contempt of the people. 12. May the electors of the several states, compose their respective representations in Congress, of characters who have the first claim to their confidence, and thereby render democratic societies as useless as they are novel. 13. May one and all enquire whether enormous allowances to public officers, have not, in all ages of the world, been a source of evils which we ought to deprecate and provide against. 14. May the leaders of the bloody combination of Europe be convinced, that the cause of freedom is the cause of God, and may a review of the fields they have deluged with the blood of their subjects, forbid them any further to add to the horrid sacrifice. 15. May the year '95 be the happy period when political discord shall begin its declension, and may it soon fall below our western horizon, and be hastily succeeded by the beamings of those orient rays which may present the same object in the same colors, to a thousand different eyes.
