Estrad from the CAMBRIDGE INTELLIGENCER, an English Paper.
Two Right Hon. Gentlemen who are at the head of affairs in this Country, and not less noted for their attachment to the bottle, than for their political wisdom, have not suffered their Country's good to engross all their attention, but with a commendable prudence paid some attention to their own private interest. From a Wine Merchant's not very distant from Newgate, one of them, a few days since, had ten pipes of port, and the other seventeen pipes! Query, Have these Gentlemen been as attentive to their matin meal as their midnight orgies ? Have they taken the same advantage of their early information of the intended tax, and stocked themselves with tea?

DOMESTIC FELICITY.
THOUGH grandeur flies my humble roof, Tho' wealth is not my share, Tho' lowly is my little cot, Yet happiness is there.
A tender wife with mild controul, By sympathy refin'd, When rage the tumults of the breast, Becalm my troubled mind.
Three pledges of our mutual love, Kind Providence has given, And competence to nurse their hopes, Is all we ask of Heaven.
Still from the little we enjoy, A little we dispense; And watch the budding of their mind Just blossoming to sense.
With arm entwined in arm we sit, And join their hands to pray; And teach the accents of their tongue, To hail the rising day.
At eve again they kneel and bies Th' hours, which now have past; And hope their cherish'd virtues may Prove happiness at last.
Accept, Great Father of us all, Accept their little prayers, And grant the murmurings of our youth, May crown our silver hairs.
Let those, whose weak and infant limbs With tenderness we guide, Be props unto our age, when down The steep of life we glide.

For the Gazette of the United States.
May 26th, 1795.
Mr. Editor, I have been two years in Philadelphia, and never till lately thought it worth my while to visit Gray's celebrated Gardens, having so much frequented Vauxhall and Ranelagh (those Nonpareils of London) as to be quite out of conceit of ever seeing a rural spot in America so improved by art as to afford me the least pleasure. But, I find I have been mistaken, and am really ashamed of my partiality. The Goddess of the morn rouzed Aurora earlier than usual this day. The dawn broke into my Chamber, forced my lids to open and behold the wondrous works of my God! I looked thro' my window towards the East with pleasure and amazement at the Picturesque-scene before me, silence reigned, all nature hushed, waiting to receive its wonted-boon from the giver of all good. My bed became disagreeable to me, I rose determined, (encouraged by the chirping Choristers of the wood perched on Trees near my dwelling chanting their makers praise) to endeavour to imitate the innocent warblers, but, alas, ingrate man! how far short art thou to them in gratitude and duty! I mounted my Horse and proceeded towards the West, my sight enraptured with the appearance of gay Nature in all its charms, my smell regaled with the quintessence of sweet flowers, and my whole frame reanimated.—O the delights of early morn. I broke my fast ten miles from the City, found the Landlord a facetious merry fellow, which pleased me much. Sir, said he, have you ever seen Gray's Gardens? if not, I do assure you tis a pleasing spot to spend the day at—I have never thought them worth my notice said I, however, not knowing where else to kill time, I will see them this day, and remounting my Horse, I took a circuitous rout and
arrived there at three o'clock, where I found a multitude of citizens (with apparent happy faces, and souls more penetrating than my own) some of whom I was acquainted with, and seeing me a stranger there, very politely accompanied me over the whole, on sight of which I was so astonished and ashamed as to blush at my long rooted prejudice, and so exceedingly pleased with the place as to determine on spending all my leisure moments there. The scene is so pleasingly diversified that, I must candidly confess that I give it the preference to any place I have seen in America for a contemplative mind. The sylvan groves pleased me highly. There are two eminences so much elevated above the rest of the Gardens that from their summits you have an enchanting view of the lovely serpentine River Schuylkill, with many pleasing Country Seats on its delightful banks.
The federal Rotunda, or thirteen-sided memento of the independence of America, enraptured my soul! This precious relict, (with pleasure I observe) is stationed on one of those eminences: This shall be my retreat when there.—Great ingenuity has been exerted to render the place pleasing to every taste. The entertainment, attendance and civility of the family, cannot be exceeded any where. In short, I am well satisfied with the whole.
AN ENGLISHMAN.
N. B. I find myself rather too old to think of a wife, or certainly should be fascinated and caught in the noose at this place. Female charms are almost irresistible at those love-inspiring gardens.
From the Aurora.
Whil't the majority of French journalists employed the restored liberty of the Press in serving their personal rancour, or distilling gall against all those who refuse to adopt implicitly the system of their respective parties, the real patriots are occupied with promoting the happiness and liberty of the people at large by combating courageously the abuses which crept into the administration during the crisis of the Republic and the arbitrary measures still enforced in the days of her triumphs. J. B. Real stands distinguished among the latter. The second number of his periodical work called Journal of Opposition appeared in the beginning of March, and was read with avidity; this shews that tho' the people may for a short time be imposed on by the intrigues and craft of some designing individuals, they are always eager to listen to the voice of truth and principles, if there is only a single man courageous enough to support them against the domineering sway of restless ambition and power.
Real raises himself above all parties in order the more effectually to expose the faults of each of them; he reclams in a forcible manner the enjoyment of that liberty which the former rulers pretended to prepare and their successors promised to allow to the people. He incontrovertibly proves the arbitrary nature of some arrangements in the new organization of the revolutionary tribunal which he considers as a dangerous instrument invented and maintained to satisfy the passions of individuals and the vengeance of the triumphant party. He shows how strange it is that in ordinary criminal tribunals a man accused of parricide may be acquitted if only three votes twelve are in his favor, whilst if accused of a crime of lese nation a mere majority is sufficient to condemn or absolve him, the number of Judges being besides reduced to eleven.
"What may be the reason, says he, of such an odious difference? the more a crime is grave, the more it is apt to fill the mind with horror, and kindle public indignation, the less it ought to be easily believed, the more it ought to be solemnly, minutely investigated."
The author wishes also and with much reason that the jury be no longer obliged to give their votes aloud, for it cannot be denied that this method is calculated to oppress the conscience of timorous persons and wrest from the Jurors the absolute independence of their opinion when they are to pronounce in a sense contrary to popular prejudice.
Experience has but two well justified the definition which Real gives of a revolutionary tribunal. "It is, says he, considered in its true disposition a weapon in the hands of the domineering party, to massacre judicially the party defeated. This must be so. Who is it that organizes the tribunal? the domineering party. What is the spirit of the auditory? The spirit of the domineering party. Who are those that are prosecuted, condemned? The men who oppose the domineering party. In such a situation of things look for impartiality you will find nothing but passion. The accused who takes his seat on the fatal
chair may call for judges, for a jury & he will find either friends or enemies."
"If a revolutionary tribunal is indispensable for judging those accused of high treason, for overawing conspirators, begin at least with giving a clear definition of all crimes, erase from the civil code of laws all those vague and hideous arrangements which must alarm a free man."
LUXEMBURGH,
For some months past blockaded by the French, is a considerable and very strong town of the Austrian Netherlands, capital of a duchy of the same name. It was taken by the French in 1684, who augmented the fortifications so much, that it is one of the strongest places in Europe; but it was ceded to the house of Austria by the treaty of Utrecht in 1713. It is divided by the river Elbe into the upper and lower towns; the former almost quite surrounded with rocks, but the lower seated on a plain. It is 25 miles S. W. of Treves, and 100 W. of Mentz.

NEW-YORK, June 3.
France exhibits a most singular scene of the most striking changes—the revolution is like the character of the nation—susceptible of astonishing contrasts.
The massacres of Sept. 2 and 3, and revolution of May 31st, the epochs of Jacobin triumphs have been celebrated as most glorious for the Republic. Now they are held in detestation and the authors are punished as traitors.
Marat, was, two years ago, so good a patriot, as to be canonized and deified—now, he is the execration of all France.
In all this business the wishes of the nation are pure, and the intention of establishing a free government, under the form of a Republic, is unquestionable. But in fact their government is revolutionary;—that is, arbitrary; and if we may judge from the discourses, in the Convention, the members hold in contempt the most necessary elementary principles of a Republican government—a single Executive and a Senate. Without these, we boldly predict a continuation of the factions, which have filled France with blood.
Our sincere wishes are for the establishment of independence and a republican government in France. But the people seem yet to want an architect capable of organizing the structure. The old Gothic Edifice was taken down by violence, before any model of a new one was drafted and agreed upon—and the ablest men being banished by a daring unprincipled association of wild upstart philosophers, no master-workman is found with talents and influence to sketch a plan and carry it into effect. A great number of bungling pretenders offer their plans, but union is wanting, and the competitors are busy in putting each other aside—the successors constantly destroying what their predecessors had begun.
From the Centinel.
MR. RUSSELL,
I have noticed an observation in the Centinel, and in other papers, evincive of apprehensions, unfavorable to the Moderate Party, now paramount in France: But it should be observed in answer thereto, that even the professors of Moderation, ought, at the same time, to be the advocates of justice; and that to cure the Cancer of Jacobinism, required not only the caustic, but the incision-knife.
That the late caballers in favour of Jacobinism, who have had the impudence, as well as ignorance, to declare to the world, "that the Committees of Government were Jacobins—the Convention Jacobins—the Generals Jacobins—the Armies Jacobins; and in short, that all France, was one great Jacobin Club," should so suddenly change their tunes; and declaim against Jacobins, is not extraordinary—for their opinions being founded intirely on party views, they were formed to be accommodated to any exigence:—But that those who have been uniform in opposing Jacobin butcheries; and set their faces against the tyranny of a blood-thirsty demagogue, should inveigh against those who have torn the veil which hid from the public eye, those enormities, is strange—is "passing strange." I hope therefore, you will continue the elegant extracts from the speeches and writings of the patriotic and philosophic Freron; that the public may be convinced, that of all tyrannies, the tyranny of a demagogue is the most cruel.
MODERATION.
EXTRACT, from Part II. A BONE to Gnaw, for the DEMOCRATS.
Siege of Lyons.
"Some time after the death of Louis XVI. the city of Lyons was declared, by the Convention, in a state of revolt, it was attacked by a numerous army, of democrats, and after having stood a siege of above two months, was obliged to surrender. What followed this surrender is my intention to relate; but first, it is necessary to go back to the causes that led to the revolt; for, though no earthly crime could justify the cruelties inflicted upon the brave and unfortunate Lyoneze, yet those cruelties do not appear in their deepest hue, till the pretended crime of the sufferers is known.
By the new Constitution of France the king could not be dethroned , unless found at the head of an army marching against his country. This was to be regarded as
the highest crime he could possibly commit, and even for this he could be punished no otherwise than by being dethroned . "No crime whatever," says the constitution, "shall be construed to affect his life." This constitution every Frenchman had sworn, to obey and maintain with all his might." When, therefore, it was proposed to the Lyoneze, by the emfaries of the National Convention, to petition for the death of the king, they replied, almost with one voice: "No; we have sworn with all France, to maintain the new constitution with all our might;—that Constitution declares that no crime whatsoever shall affect the life of the king." For any thing we have yet seen or heard, we believe him innocent of every crime that has been laid to his charge. The mode of his trial is unprecedented in the annals of justice, the Convention being at once accuser, evidence, and judge. We believe him perfectly innocent; but whether he be or not, the constitution that we have, by a solemn oath, bound ourselves to maintain with all our might, declares that no crime whatever shall be construed to affect his life; that life, therefore, we cannot, we will not demand. The rest of the nation may sport with engagements which they have called the Almighty to witness, they may add the crime of assassination, to that of perjury, they may stain themselves with the blood of their innocent and unfortunate prince, the Lyoneze never will."
Reader, you will hardly believe that this answer, so full of good sense, justice, piety and honour, drew down on the gallant Lyoneze the most dreadful chastisement, that ever was inflicted on any part of the human race. Read and be convinced."
No sooner was the determination of the Lyoneze made known to the convention, than the latter began to concoct schemes of vengeance. A numerous army was prepared, while the democratic agents of the convention, who still had the executive authority in their hands at Lyons, spared no pains in endeavouring to drive the city to what they termed open rebellion, and thus to furnish a pretext for its destruction. The doctrine of equality, so flattering to those who possess nothing, had gained them many converts among the lower class of the people. To these were committed all authority, civil and military, and it is hardly necessary to say that they exercised every species of tyranny that envy, revenge, and popular fury could invent.—All this was borne with a degree of resignation that has justly been regarded as astonishing, in people who have since exhibited such unequivocal proofs of inherent valour. A sense of more immediate danger, however, roused them from their lethargy.
There was held, every night, a meeting of the leaders among the partisans of the convention. It consisted, in general, of men of desperate fortunes, bankrupts, quacks, the dregs of the law, apostate priests, and the like, not forgetting some who had been released from the galleys.—In this infamous assembly, which took the name of democratic club, a plot was laid for the assassination of all the rich in one night; † but this plot, notwithstanding the precautions of the conspirators, was happily discovered; the President Challier† and two others were tried and condemned to die, the democrats were driven from all the public offices, and the former magistrates reinstated.
This act of self preservation was called a revolt against the republic, and in consequence of it, the convention passed decree upon decree, bearing death and destruction against the Lyoneze. Thus, those very men who had formed a constitution, which declares resistance against oppression to be a natural right, passed an act of proscription against a whole city, because they had dared to lift their hands to guard their throats against the knives of a band of assassins!
The city now began to arm for its defence; but being totally unprepared for a siege, having neither fortifications nor magazines, and being menaced on every side by miriads of ferocious enemies, the people were backward in deciding for hostility, knowing that, in that case death or victory must be the consequence. There were, therefore but about ten thousand men who had the courage to take up arms; but the desperate bravery of these amply made up for every want. During the space of sixteen days they withstood an army fifteen times their strength, plentifully provisioned, and provided with every instrument of destruction. Never, perhaps, were there such feats of valour performed as by this little army; thrice their number did they lay dead before their injured city.
The members deputed from the Convention, to direct the attack, left nothing untried that might tend to the accomplishment of their object. They succeeded at last, in opening a communication with their partisans in the city, and in inducing many of the mob to espouse their interest. This was the more easy to effect, as the besieged were, by this time upon the point
*The facts here related are taken from an authenticated relation of the siege of Lyons; that they are by no means exaggerated the public will very soon be convinced.
† This was their oath. "We swear to exterminate all the rich and aristocrats; their bloody corpses, thrown into the Rhone, shall bear our services to the affrighted sea."
† This citizen Challier was every way qualified for the post of president of such a club. He was locked up a person of infamous character, before the revolution, he had imbrued his hands in the blood of his own father!

of starving; the flesh of horses, dogs, and cats, had been for some days their only food, and even that began to grow extremely scarce. In this situation, without the least hopes of succour, some of those who wished well to their city, and had not borne arms during the siege, undertook to capitulate with the enemy; but their knowing the extremities to which they were driven, insisted upon executing the decrees of the Convention, which ordered them to put to death indiscriminately all those who had taken up arms against its authority.
The besieged, then, seeing no hopes of a capitulation, seeing the city without another day's provision, and the total impossibility of succour from without (being completely invested on every side), had but one measure to adopt; to cut their way through the enemy, or fall in the attempt. A plan of retreat was, therefore, settled upon; the out-posts were to be called in, and the whole were to assemble at the Valse.
In the mean time, the deputies from the Convention, who were informed by their spies of all that was passing in the city, took care to have the road by which the retreating army was to pass well lined with troops. The whole country around was under arms. Every person was ordered, on pain of death, not to let pass, or give shelter to, a single Lyoneze, a man woman or child.
The out-posts were hardly called in when their stations were taken possession of by the democratic army. Being so closely pressed rendered the assembling at the Valse more difficult; all was bustle, confusion and terror. Not half of those who were under arms, had time to join them. A little corps, was, however, at last formed. It consisted of between three and four thousand persons in all, headed by four field pieces, and followed by six waggons, bearing the wreck of many a splendid fortune. Thus marched off the remains of these generous defenders of their city, bidding an eternal adieu to the scenes of their youth, the dwellings of their ancestors; resolving to die bravely, as they had lived, or find an asylum in a foreign land.
It was midnight when they began their retreat, lighted by the blaze of bombs and burning houses. Reader, cast your eyes on this devoted city. See the children clinging to their fathers, distracted mothers to their sons; wives holding in their arms what they held dearer than life, forgetting all but their husbands, marching by their side, and braving death from ten thousand hands!
They had hardly began their march, when a discharge of artillery, bearing full upon them, threw them into some confusion. One of their waggons, in which were several old men and some children, was set on fire by a shell. Morning coming on, they perceived themselves beleaguered on every side; they were charged by the cavalry, exposed to the fire of a numerous artillery, and every turning, fired upon from every house, every bank and every hedge. Seeing therefore, no hopes of escape, they were determined to sell every drop of blood as dear as possible. They broke off into platoons putting their wives and children into the centre of each and took different directions, in order to divide the force of the enemy. But what was they to do against fifty times their number? The whole about fifty persons excepted, were either killed or taken.
The victors showed such mercy as might be expected from them; not content with butchering their prisoners in cold blood, they took a pleasure in making them die by inches, and in insulting them in the pangs of death. Placing several together, they killed one of them at a time, to render death more terrible to the rest. Neither sex nor age had any weight with them; above two hundred women, thirty of whom had children at the breast, whom conjugal love had led to follow their husbands; more than fifty old men, whom filial piety had snatched from the assassin's stab; were all most savagely butchered. The death of Madame de Visaguet deserves particular notice. This young lady was about seventeen years of age, and very near her time of delivery: a party of the democrats found her behind a hedge, to which place she had drawn her husband, who was mortally wounded. When the cannibals discovered her, she was on her knees supporting her head on her arm; one of them fired upon her with a carbine, another quartered her with his hanger, while a third held up the expiring husband to be a spectator of their more than hellish cruelty.
Several wounded prisoners were collected together, and put into a ditch, with festines placed round them to prevent them from killing themselves, or one another; and this was they made to linger, some of them two or three days, while their enemies testified their ferocious pleasure by all the insulting gesticulations of savages.
Such was the fury of the triumphant democrats, that the deputies from the Convention gave an order against burying the dead, till they had been cut in morsels. Tollet, the infamous Tollet, democratic priest (that is to say, an apostate) of Treves, went, blood-hound like, in quest of a few unhappy wretches who had escaped the bloody 9th of October; and when, by perfidious promises, he had drawn them from their retreats, he delivered them to the daggers of their assassins.
Of all the little army that attempted the retreat only about forty six escaped; six hundred and eighteen were brought back in chains; some of them died of their wounds, and all those who were not relieved from life this way, were dragged forth to an ignominious death.
During these dreadful scenes the deputies from the Convention, who, were now
absolute masters of the unfortunate city, were preparing others, if possible, still more dreadful. As a preliminary step, they re-organized the democratic society . To this internal rendezvous the deputy Javogues repaired, and there broached his project in a speech, the substance of which was nearly as follows. After having represented Challier as a martyr in the cause of liberty, as the hero of the republic, and the avenger of the people, he addressed himself to the assembly in nearly these terms. "Think," said he, "of the slavery into which you are plunged by being the servants and workmen of others; the nobles, the priests, the pro-prietors, the rich of every description, have long been in a combination to rob the democrats, the real laissez-culotte republicans, of their birth right; go, citizens; take what belongs to you, and what you should have enjoyed long ago. Nor must you stop here, while there exists an aristocracy in the buildings, halt remains undone; down with those edifices, railed for the profit or pleasure of the rich; down with them all! commerce and arts are useless to a warlike people, and destruction of that sublime equality which France is determined to spread over the whole globe." He told this enslaved, this degraded population, that it was the duty of every good citizen to discover all those whom he knew to be guilty of having, in thought, word, or deed, conspired against the republic. He exhorted them to fly to the offices (opened for receiving such accusations,) and not to spare one lawyer, priest, or nobleman. He concluded this harangue, worthy of one of the damned, with declaring, that for a man to accuse his own father was an act of civism worthy a true republican, and that to neglect it was a crime that should be punished with death.
The deeds that followed this diabolical exhortation were such as might be expected. The bloody ruffians of democrats left not a house, not a hole unsearched; men and women were led forth from their houses with as little ceremony as cattle from their pens; the square where the guillotine stood was reddened with blood, like a slaughter-house, while the piercing cries of the surviving relations were drowned in the more vociferous howlings of Vive la Republique .
It is hard to fathom the voice of nature, to stagnate the involuntary movements of the soul; yet this was attempted, and in some degree, effected, by the deputies of the Convention. Perceiving that these scenes of blood had spread a gloom over the countenances of the innocent inhabitants, and that even some of their soldiers seemed touched with compunction, they issued a mandate, declaring every one suspected of aristocracy, who should discover the least symptom of pity, either by his words or his looks!
The preamble of this mandate makes the blood run cold: "By the thunder of God! in the name of the representatives of the French people; on pain of death it is ordered," &c. &c. Who would believe that this terrific mandate, forbidding men to weep or look sorrowful, on pain of death, concluded with Vive la liberté? (Liberty for ever!) Who would believe that the people, who suffered this mandate to be stuck up about their city like a play-bill, had sworn to live free, or die?
However, in spite of all their menaces, they still found that remorse would sometimes follow the murder of a friend, or relation. Conscience is a troublesome guest to the villain who yet believes in an hereafter; the deputies, therefore, were resolved to banish this guest from the bosoms of their partisans, as it had already been banished from their own.
With this object in view, they ordered a solemn civic festival in honor of Challier . His image was carried round the city, and placed in the churches. Those temples which had (many of them) for more than a thousand years, resounded with hozannas to the Supreme Being, were now profaned by the adorations paid to the image of a parricide.
All this was but a prelude to what was to follow the next day. It was Sunday, the day consecrated to the worship of our Blessed Redeemer. A vast concourse of democrats, men and women, assembled at a signal agreed on, formed themselves into a sort of mock procession, preceded by the image of Challier , and followed by a little detached troop, each bearing in his hand a chalice, or some other vase of the
A hundred houses were destroyed per day by order of the Convention. All the hospitals, the manufactories, banks, &c. &c. were destroyed without exception. Before the Revolution, that is to say in 1789, this city contained above a hundred and fifty thousand inhabitants; it was the second town, with respect to population, in France, and the first manufacturing town in all Europe. It does not now contain seventy thousand inhabitants, and those are all reduced to beggary and ruin. As for trade, there is no such thing thought of. The last report to the Convention, respecting Lyons, declares the inhabitants without work or bread.
If the reader has never seen a civic festival, and wishes to be fully informed about the organization of one, I refer him to the citizen democrats, who were of the committee of arrangement for the last civic festival that was held in the city of brotherly love.
church. One of these sacrilegious wretches led an ass, covered with a priest's vesture, and with a mitre on his head. He was loaded with crucifixes and other symbols of the christian religion, and had the old and new testament suspended to his tail. Arrived at the square called the Terreaux , they then threw the two testaments , the crucifixes, &c. into a fire, prepared for the purpose, made the ass drink out of the sacramental cup,* and were proceeding to conclude their diabolical profanations with the massacre of all the prisoners, to appease the Ghost of Challier , when a violent thunder-gust put an end to their meeting, and deferred the work of death for a few hours.
[To be continued.] * It will hardly be believed in Europe, that some of the Ministers of the gospel at Boston, in New-England, put up public Thanksgivings for the successes of these wretches. The fact is, however, well known, and shall be well proved, before I have done.
PHILADELPHIA, June 6.
Thursday arrived here from Leghorn, which place he left the 25th of March, the Danish ship Triton , Capt. Frederickson, from whom we learn the following particulars: That the English fleet after the action of the 14th of March had gone into the Bay of Spezzia, between Leghorn and Genoa, with the two captured ships belonging to the French, where they were joined by four ships from Gibraltar. The French fleet were returned to Toulon. The Sans Culotte of 120 guns, which separated from the rest of the ships, was safe arrived at Genoa. The Berwick was taken on her way from Bastia to join the fleet. Both fleets had encountered a gale of wind soon after the engagement, which Capt. Frederickson says was partial; and the account he gives of it agrees with the intelligence already published. One of the British ships was missing and supposed to be lost, as she had received some damage in the action. The return of the French may be attributed to the acquisition of the force of the English.
Capt. Frederickson passed two Portuguese men of war and two brigs in the Straights. None of the Algerine or Moroccan cruizers were out. The States of Tunis and Tripoli he informs are at war.
By a letter from a gentleman in London to his friend in this city, dated March 31st, received yesterday morning, via New-York, by an arrival there from Bristol, we learn, that the Factor was expected to sail the next day after for this Port.
The brig Newton , Capt. De Costa, from St. Croix, is arrived at the Port; another brig was in sight, name unknown.
Extract of a letter from New York, June 5, 1795.
The Canvassers have this morning finished examining the votes for Governor, Senators, and Assembly-Men. Mr. Jay is chosen by a majority of 1580 votes; Mr. Van Rensselaer by nearly 700. We have 14 Federal Senators out of 24; and upwards of 25 Assembly-Men majority. This is very pleasing to the lovers of peace and good order, and the true friends of government. This you can publish as authentic.
By this Day's MAIL.
NEW YORK, June 5.
Yesterday's canvassing has produced the following reversion. The committee having, (after going through the counties of Otsego, Onondago, and Herkemer) found a total majority of 1425 votes for Mr. Jay, and for Mr. Van Rensselaer, 695.
The counties this day to be canvassed will doubtless throw a still greater majority in favour of the leading candidates.
Thus [may be anticipated] has ended an election, that has been carried on by the opposite parties with as much, if not more zeal, than any former one; attended with circumstances, however, which may be said with truth to have been discouraging to the friends of Mr. Jay, and which, consequently gave new vigour to the opposing party; for, at the time of his election, there was a great probability that his arrival would not be timely enough for the acceptance of the office for which he was supported; therefore many votes were withheld, which would have been added to the present majority. But, not withstanding this, as well as the circumstance of his being held up with a man high in public estimation, still he is left to experience those agreeable sensations which must naturally arise on his being this day, (by the large majority of 2000 votes) elected Governor of the state of New-York. May his administration be marked with those traits which have characterized him as an eminent, wise, and virtuous statesman and politician. And then the resignation of his worthy predecessor, will not continue to be so much lamented by a great majority of his fellow-citizens.
Yesterday morning the British frigate
Thiffe anchored off Governor's island; and at 12 o'clock fired a salute, which was answered from the new fortifications on said island.
Admiral Murray is arrived at Sandy Hook in the Resolution of 74 guns, and is coming up in the Cleopatra frigate, Capt. Rowly.
Capt. Odlin, arrived at Boston, from Port-au-Paix, informs, that Commodore Ford, on the West-India station, has bid the American Captains to tell Judge Green, of Bermuda, from him, "that he was a d—d rascal for his conduct, in condemning American vessels, and had acted unauthorized."
The whole of Mr. Hastings's Impeachment (says a London paper) has now been negatived in the Committee of the House of Lords. The Lord-Chancellor remains however, in many particulars, decidedly hostile. On the other hand, Lord Thurlow's reasoning appears to have made an indelible impression on the majority of the House; whose sentence will, therefore, probably be in favour of Mr. Hastings.

DUBLIN.
The meeting of the WHIG CLUB of DUBLIN, is too important to be passed over in silence. It is important, undoubtedly, on account of the respectability of the persons of whom it is composed; but it is still much more important, as it gives a direct contradiction to the insinuations of our ministers, and their agents, that Mr. Grattan's reply to the address of the Roman Catholics, was to be considered merely as the act of an individual, and not, as we asserted it to be, a declaration of the sentiments of himself and friends.
At a meeting of the Whig Club, held yesterday, the 20th inst. at Bennet's, Eustace street, the following declaration and resolution were unanimously agreed to.
The Right Hon. Wm. B. Ponsonby in the chair:
THE WHIG CLUB,
At this interesting period, deems it proper to declare its concurrence in sentiment, with the several counties, cities, and meetings, which, in expressing their regret at the departure of Earl Fitzwilliam from the government of this country, have manifested their anxiety for the reform of abuses, and the union of the people of all descriptions, and have also remonstrated against the re-establishment of the old system of violence and venality, necessarily attendant on the return into power of the authors of that system.
The Whig Club returns its unanimous thanks to Mr. Grattan, for his many seasonable, and constitutional answer to the address of the Roman Catholics of Dublin.
THOMAS CONOLLY, Sec. March 30.
A kind of a smothered rumour has for some days past prevailed in this city, that an union between Great-Britain and Ireland was a measure determined on in the interior of the British Cabinet, and that some men were to be found bold enough to propose it before the expiration of the present session.
BALTIMORE, June 4.
The ship which we had seen coming inside the Bodkin the day before, arrived yesterday evening. She is the Polly and Nancy of Edenton, 60 days from Liverpool. She brings nothing new, and spoke no vessels but one bound from Liverpool, to Boston, and a vessel bound to New-York. She contains, we are informed, a valuable cargo of dry goods, and has bro't over 5 cabin and 60 steerage passengers.
Arrived yesterday, schooner Delight, Captain Tupper, 25 days from L'Arcahaye, where he left a number of American vessels, among which were the schooners Plato, Capt. —, and Ardent, Capt. Boyd, (late mate) belonging to Baltimore. —Spoke the schooner Lady Washington, Capt. Smith, of this port, the evening they failed, just going into L'Arcahaye.
American produce had been very high, both at L'Arcahaye and Port-au-Prince, and flour had sold as high as 20 dollars per barrel; but owing to several arrivals from the United States, and a supply which had been received from Jamaica, the markets had fallen very considerably. The day on which they failed, they saw a number of American vessels bound in to L'Arcahaye and Port-au-Prince.
General Williamson, they inform had arrived there, previous to their failing, to take the command of 700 men, who were part of a reinforcement
to 2000, arrived at different ports in Hispaniola. He had the misfortune to lose his own horses and baggage.
The brig Mentor, captain Mitchell, arrived last evening at the fort, from Antigua.
Captain Lander, of the brig Favorite, from Baltimore, entered at the Salem Custom-house on the 26th ult.
UNITED STATES FRIGATE.
On Monday last, the 1st June, was laid at the navy yard, the keel of the United States frigate, ordered by government to be built here; the extreme length of the keel is 148 feet.
From the superior excellence of the timber and materials, which have been collected with great care and pains, we anticipate an excellent ship will be produced.
HALIFAX, (N. C.) May 25
On Tuesday last another boat arrived here, which came through the falls of Roanoke, from Banniller river in Virginia, which empties into Dan about 100 miles above. She is under the direction of Mr. M. Anderson, and has brought 50 barrels of flour. Mr. A., being an entire stranger to the falls, waggoned part of his load (28 barrels) from Eaton's to Pride's ferry, and brought 22 through—he has, however, no doubt but he might have safely passed with the whole. He has, gone to Edenton to sell his flour—and we hope will meet with a ready market, and a price that may reward him for his novel and praiseworthy undertaking. He met Mr. Wade, in the first boat that came down, about 70 miles above, who had met with no difficulty in returning.
BOSTON.
Mr. Jay's Treaty is said to be in this town; with a copy of all the propositions between Mr. Jay and Mr. Pitt, on the subject. They are said to display the eminent negotiating abilities of the American Minister.
Yesterday being the anniversary election of officers of the Massachusetts Charitable Fire Society, the Society met for that purpose. The officers were generally re-elected. At four o'clock, the Society moved in procession to the Chapel, where an elegant Oration was delivered by the Hon. G. R. Minot, after which an Ode, composed by Mr. Paine, was sung by Mr. Rea, in his usual style of excellence. The music was excellent; and the prayers read on the occasion strikingly pertinent. The audience was numerous and respectable; and the collection for the funds of the society upwards of 150 dollars. The Hon. Judge Tudor, we are told, is appointed to deliver an address the next anniversary.
ELEGANT EXTRACT.
From the AURORA.
MR. BACH,
"THE Grub-street Gazette of last Tuesday evening contains one of the most extraordinary productions that I have seen in a long time. This infamous piece is headed with the title of "Review," and abounds with the basest calumny and most unqualified abuse against the cause of freedom and its supporters. It is indeed remarkable, that this country should contain a wretch capable of writing such detestable slander, or an Editor who would give publicity to it. Yet it seems the Witch of Endor can find room for whatever comes from the pen of an Englishman , for it is easy to conjecture that this sublime "Review" is the offspring of some emigrant from the queen of isles , who perhaps receives his pay in the mother country. His pitiful whining at the successes of the intrepid sons of France, proclaims his country, while his belching clearly proves him one of John Bull's cals . Whether he is the same pedantic pedagogue that teaches Frenchmen the use of English gerunds , I cannot positively say, but he certainly smells a little of the Bone ."
IF the candor of the Editor of the Aurora , would induce him to publish those pieces, entries, from the Gazette of the United States , which so frequently excite the wrath of his writers,—it would be a sufficient apology for all their billingstgate language;—Nothing more is desired.
Says a Correspondent,
The incendiary writer whose proper signature is Franklin , in his 13th number, says, "that the measures of Government have been dissatisfactory to the people, the last election for members of Congress will prove, beyond even the possibility of a doubt;" and cites as a strong example in point, Mr. Dexter's non-election. That business is however well understood. The public may be congratulated on the Federal issue of the late elections in New-York—Had it been of a contrary complexion, FRANKLIN would have inferred, that the Treaty of Amity and Commerce ought not to be ratified—for the people must be opposed to the measures of the Envoy , because they did not see proper to elect him their Governor!! Now he is elected, we shall see whether Franklin has candor and candour enough to acknowledge, that according to his own principles, the formation of a Treaty is at least a very popular measure.

In the present enlightened age, when free discussion has opened the eyes of mankind, and the fabrics of Despotism and Superstition are crumbling to the dust, it becomes an object of no small importance, to distinguish leading Truths from those Counterfeits which had assumed their names and usurped their place, and in the subversion of which, Truth itself is too apt to be discarded without inquiry. In the present work, the learned author (who had before distinguished himself by his principles of moral and political Philosophy) has treated the subject with that ability and candour which becomes it, and has exhibited in a short compass, perhaps the clearest and most distinct view of the proper evidences of Christianity ever published.

Philadelphia, March 1795. PROPOSALS For Printing by Subscription, a Work to be entitled TRIALS FOR HIGH TREASON, Within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. By EDMUND HOGAN, Editor of the Pennsylvania State Trials. IT will contain an accurate and comprehensive statement of the charges against the accused, the documents, oral testimony, arguments of counsel on both sides, and final issue. As every citizen in the United States is more or less concerned in the issue of these trials, it is hoped the Editor will soon be enabled to acquaint the Public, that he has met with sufficient encouragement to undertake the publication, which he intends to do as soon as 600 subscribers shall have signed.—With this view— He offers the following Proposals to the Public. I. The work shall be printed in octavo, with a good type, on fine paper, in numbers of 64 pages, to be delivered as soon as possible after the trial. II. At no accurate estimate of the length can be made at this time, its size and price cannot now be ascertained; but the price shall be limited to sixpence per sheet of 16 octavo pages, exclusive of binding. III. Subscribers on the delivery of the first number, to pay one dollar, and the remainder when the work shall be completed. The printers of new papers in the United States, who shall publish these proposals six times in their April, May and June papers, shall be entitled to a copy for their trouble; and the allowance of a seventh copy will be made to them and all others who may exert themselves in soliciting subscriptions and securing payment. As this is supposed to be a sufficient inducement for printers, stationers, booksellers and schoolmasters, to be at some pains to procure subscriptions, it is hoped that persons will exert themselves by opening subscription papers immediately, and they are requested to be punctual in transmitting the lists before the first of July next; as the names are to be printed as patrons of this work.
