Latest London Intelligence.
From papers by the Samsom.
THORN, August 30.
Kosciusco is said to have left his advantageous position before Warlaw, after having lost the best part of his artillery, and about 1400 men. When we received our last accounts, all the Prussian heavy artillery was arrived in the camp before Warlaw, and there was nothing to prevent their attack on that place immediately. Ten thousand Russians were expected every day to join the army.
MANHEIM, Aug. 30.
A deserter who arrived a few days ago at Duhlheim, where the head quarters of the prince of Hohenlohe now are, says, that in a very short time a general attack will again be made on the Rhine as far as Treves, and that the National Convention sent the most rigorous orders to all the generals to accomplish the success of the French arms, by the total defeat of the harassed German armies.
Last night about 300 French infantry, marched from the district of Wachenheim through Mutterstadt to Schifferstadt. This morning about 300 French cavalry attacked the out posts of the combined corps of the hereditary prince of Hohenlohe, between Oggersheim and Frankenthal, but the French were obliged to retreat, after one hour's conflict, and the Germans went in pursuit of them. The hussars of Wolfrath took 50 prisoners.
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 6.
The intelligence relating to Valenciennes is now fully authenticated. The following is an extract from a Dutch officer, in Valenciennes, dated the 31st of August:
"After having been shut up in this place during nine weeks, and the garrison having been summoned three times to surrender at discretion, and be sent to France, and the summons being accompanied by the strongest threats in consequence of the decrees of the Convention, we held out till we obtained a capitulation, by virtue of which we should march out on the 30th of August, with all military honors, and being without the fortresses, we should lay down our arms. We keep the horses for our use, and our baggage; the noncommissioned officers and the soldiers are allowed their side arms and knapsacks. The Imperialists return to their own country. The battalions of Calmette and Plettenberg go to Holland. They have engaged not to bear arms against France during the present war."
The Court Gazette of the Hague of this day, contains the following article: "We have received intelligence, that the fortress of Valenciennes has surrendered to the enemy; that the garrison has obtained a free retreat, on condition that, during a limited time, it shall not serve against the French. We wait a further detail of this event." Major Westerlob is arrived here from Valenciennes with the above intelligence.
LONDON, Sept. 15.
By a letter from Geneva, dated the 27th ult. we learn, that to the late atrocious Revolutionary Tribunal in that town has succeeded a Revolutionary Committee, not less ferocious than the former; that the 68 unfortunate inhabitants, who had been banished either for life or a certain time, and among them the rich and virtuous Magistrate Saladin, near 70 years old, have been conducted out of the town with no more than three Louis in their pockets; and that M. Necker, de Germaine, has not been executed, but discharged, on paying down 100,000 French crowns.
Private letters from the head-quarters of Gen. Clairfayt, say that the combined armies are about to recommence offensive operations against the enemy; and that there is no doubt that united as the commanders now are in sentiment and good-will, they will soon repel themselves of those countries, which is at last allowed, were very weakly abandoned by the Prince of Cobourg. Gen. Clairfayt's army will re-cross the Maese, and effect a junction with the Duke of York. The remainder of the campaign will be conducted with the utmost vigour. The combined armies are near 150,000 strong.
The French, we are assured, have a squadron at sea, but it is not of that force which will justify their hazarding an action with Lord Howe; indeed, it is rather to be apprehended that their object has been principally to dispatch such a powerful reinforcement to the West-Indies, as, under existing circumstances, we shall not be able to cope with in that quarter.
A special commission, under the Great Seal, for trying the prisoners in the Tower, accused of treasonable practices, was received in town this morning from the Lord Chancellor, who is now at Weymouth. The following are the Judges, whose names are inserted in the commission: Chief Justice Eyre, Chief Baron Macdonald, Justices Buller, Grose and Lawrence, and Baron Hotham.
The Attorney General leads the prosecution, but he is to be assisted by Mr. Serjeant Adair.
STATE PAPER.
Substance of the Declaration.
Of his Majesty the Emperor and King, delivered by Count Schlick, to the Convocation of the Circle of the Upper Rhine, Aug. 12, 1794.
The most imminent danger, and the period is come, when the most efficacious measures ought to be instantly adopted, if the deliverance of the Germanic Empire is not renounced, or if, even in this campaign, the sovereignty of the Provinces and countries of the Empire, from the sources of the Rhine to its mouth, is not to be given up to French violence.
The Imperial court has signified the extent of this enterprize, and the confined resources of the house of Austria to those states of the Empire, who prayed with so much concern for their deliverance, previous to the explosion, which the said court has delayed as much as possible.
The imperial court insisted upon speedy preparations on the part of the Empire, at least upon the defence of its own frontiers; but in vain has it insisted! The reintegration of the army of the Empire, which has been contrived with all possible zeal, has not been effected at this moment when two thirds of the campaign have elapsed, and when the enemies are victorious in every quarter.
[After recapitulating fully the manifold and various sacrifices which the house of Austria made for the Empire at large, the following proposal is made, to avert the threatened overthrow of the Germanic constitution.]
The spiritual and temporal communities of the superior and lower classes are still possessed of treasures which remain untouched, but which might be beneficially applied. The people of property of every description have a credit, which they ought to lend to raise great sums of money, to complete that, which the house of Austria, after such an immense influx of money into the empire, only drawn from its own hereditary dominions, is no longer able to afford by itself.
It is only by such an influx of money, that the standing armies, can be supplied with what is most necessary for their preservation, that the fortresses can be put in a proper state of defence, and that the masses who are to hasten to the frontiers will be supported.
The undersigned Minister Plenipotentiary is charged by the Emperor and King, most solemnly to declare in his Imperial Majesty's name, that, if the Imperial Royal Court is abandoned at this decisive crisis, it will not be able to save the Empire; but it will console itself with the idea of having done all that could possibly be done for the country; and that the Imperial court will be obliged to make responsible before God and to Posterity, for all those misfortunes that will then unavoidably crush the Provinces of the Germanic Empire, and for the misery which may then spread infections all over Europe, by the propagation of principles of anarchy; nay, the Imperial court will make responsible those who by neglect, by inactivity, or even by mercenary private views, shall have omitted conscientiously to exert themselves for the general preservation. (Signed)
Count Von SCHLICK.

From the Journal of the Mountain, for September 16.
Decree of the Convention, respecting the festival to be celebrated the fifth and last day of the Sans culottides.
The Convention decrees, That the last day of the Sans culottides shall be celebrated as follows—
The citizens shall collect in the garden of the National Palace precisely at 8 o'clock in the morning, and the national music shall there celebrate the victories of the Republic and the charms of fraternity.
The President of the Convention shall proclaim in presence of the people that all the armies of the Republic have never ceased to deserve well of their country.
There shall then be presented to him for each army one flag, on which shall be inscribed these words—"To the ar-
my of—a grateful country; the fifth day of Sans Culottides, the second year."
The President shall attach to each flag, a crown of laurels, and shall send it back by a wounded defender of his country, one from each army.
The President shall then proclaim the first article of the decree of 24th Brumaire, which accords the honors of the Pantheon to John Paul Marat, the friend and the Representative of the people; and the decree of 5th Frimaire that, on the same day, the body of Honoré Riquetti Mirabeau shall be removed from that place.
The people and the National Convention shall assemble at the place where the body of Marat is deposited, for the purpose of conveying it to the Pantheon.
A detachment of the school of Mars and the orphans of the defenders of their country shall assist at this festival.
As soon as it shall be closed, the patriots who have received wounds, shall bear to each army, the colors which shall be entrusted to their care.
The report of the committee of Public Instruction and process-verbal of this day shall be printed and transmitted to all the departments and all the armies.
The committee of Public Instruction is charged to regulate the details of the festival and to superintend the execution of them.
New Potash for Salt-Petre and Soap. The Lyceum of Arts to the National Convention.
Citizens Representatives.
A terrible explosion has just destroyed in a moment, a part of the fruits of the long labours of our brave fellow citizens. We need not excite or support their zeal; their love of their country wants no encouragement; but it is our enemies we must learn that no resource for the republic can be named, which the genius of arts, seconded by liberty will not supply.
The Lyceum of arts hastens to present to the convention a discovery very important upon the wild Chestnut.
After the demand of many committees of subsistence upon the best means of supplying flour for the manufacture of Palle, we have found that the meal of the wild Chestnut separated from the bitter part, answers all the purposes of this manufacture. We send a specimen of very fine paste board, made entirely with this preparation.
Thus far have we carried our researches. We have burnt the wild Chestnut according to the process described in the memoir, and the result is that twelve ounces and an half of ashes produced nine ounces of fixed alkali or potash of the first quality. The net product is then almost three parts of four. This fruit, which has been regarded as useless, is one of the richest productions of our soil.
In consequence of this discovery, the Lyceum offered a plan of a decree, that should invite all citizens in parts of the country where this fruit is produced, to gather it and suffer none to be lost. The municipality to take an account of the quantity and transmit it to the committee of public safety who shall take measures for their manufacture into potash. All the Chestnuts, growing in the forests, gardens and parks of the nation, to be held in a state of requisition.
The glory of the Lyceum has been, and will not cease to be, to direct the sciences and arts to purposes of public utility.

ELIZABETH-TOWN, (M.)
November 4.
It is with affectionate and afflicting sorrow that we mention the sudden death of that zealous patriot and truly respectable citizen, Mr. Robert Elliot, of this town, (one of the contractors for the supply of the army of the United States) who, it seems, after sustaining the heat of the late glorious and well fought action, in which he rendered singular service, was fired at and killed by the savages whilst riding along the road between two of our Western posts, accompanied by his servant only. After he received the fatal wound, and judging it to be mortal, his native tenderness and presence of mind prompted him to desire his servant to leave him and fly for his own safety—which with reluctance that servant did—But fate decreed he should not long survive his master; for the next day he, with two more of the party who went in quest of the remains of Mr. Elliot, also fell sacrifices to the inhuman savages. The remains of Mr. Elliot, being otherwise untouched by the Indians, were taken
to the nearest garrison, and decently and honorably interred—having laid one night in the dreary wilderness—Strange fate! that a man whose hospitable roof had often yielded shelter to the weary and distressed, should be denied it himself at the moment of sorrow, pain and affliction.
Thus died, in the prime of life, a useful, active, and ornamental member of society, a man of the strictest virtue and honor, of generosity unbounded, and of benevolence universal—whose fate will long be deplored by all those who ever had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He has left an affectionate and amiable wife and children to mourn, more especially, so tender an husband, to kind a father—a loss irreparable indeed!!!
PITTSBURGH, Nov. 8.
The Answer of his Excellency Governor LEE Commander in Chief of the Federal Volunteers, to the Address of the Washington Committee.
Your declarations of the good intentions of the people of Washington county, who have been pleased to depute you to present to me certain papers containing assurances of fidelity to government, cannot but excite the most agreeable sensations in my breast. To restore happiness to our deluded fellow-citizens of this country, by restoring to them the complete enjoyment of the blessings flowing from the government established by the people of the United States, is the chief object of the advance of the army under my command, and its stay here will depend on the execution of the work.
Those individuals to whom may justly be attributed the awful crisis which has arrived, among the many groundless tales which they have industriously circulated to mislead their fellow-citizens in the pursuit of their wicked and ambitious schemes told them that the excise law was odious to the people, that the administration was corrupt, that British gold and British influence swayed the measures of Congress, and that under this load of complicated guilt it was only necessary to erect the standard of opposition to government, to secure the accomplishment of their mistaken wishes.
Unfortunately for your peace, and our happiness, you believed their assertions, and a species of violence disgraceful to the name and character of the United States ensued: they told you too, that no army could be brought into action against you by the government, and had the audacity to repeat their assertion even after the troops had reached their points of rendezvous.
Such was your delusion, that no counter declaration on the part of government obtained any credit; at length you begin to discern the truth, and know your real good—You see a formidable force suddenly collected in obedience to the law of Congress crossing the mountains at a very inclement season of the year, determined to subdue all who may dare to resist, and anxious to protect all who submit to the constitution and laws.
Hereafter you cannot credit the tales of the vicious and designing, because your experience of their baleness and falshood is so impressive and solemn as to leave not a doubt in your minds of the perils to which they have exposed their lives and fortunes. Derive wisdom from experience confide not in the man who courts your respect by defaming your government, and be as sincere in your active endeavors to restore order, as you are warm in your professions to do so; then will my task be easy, and your future felicity certain.
Return to your country and assure your fellow-citizens that no man will receive injury either in person or property from the army. Advise them to bring to our camp all the necessaries of life they may have to spare, from which promise them from me a fair price in cash. Tell them it is the pride as it is the duty of all my fellow-citizens in arms with me to maintain, and not to violate the laws of our country, and tell them further that such is the positive injunction of the President of the United States: at the same time mention to all my expectations that exactions in price will not be attempted by any, because it would not only manifest a want of sincerity in the professions of friendship which have been made on the part of the inhabitants, but would convey a desire to deprive the troops of those articles essential not only to their comfort but to their health, to which deprivation no consideration can induce me to submit them.
Messrs. Findley, Redick, Douglas, and Morton inform the inhabitants of the counties of Westmoreland, Washington, Fayette and Allegheny, that in consequence of their appointment to wait on the President of the United States, they proceeded on that duty—but on their way to Bedford, where it was expected the President might probably be seen, learnt that he had left the army for the seat of government—they, therefore, on consideration, took the right wing of the army commanded by the Governor of the state of Pennsylvania, in their way, where they conversed with the Governor, as well as with the Secretary of the Treasury, on the subject of their mission, and proceeded to the other wing to Governor Lee, of Virginia, (the Commander in Chief) who after receiving the various papers and faithful information which they
could give, presented them with the following letter which they now lay before the people for their serious consideration.
To Messrs. Findley, Redick, Morton, and Douglas, deputies from the people of the counties of Fayette, Washington, Allegheny, and Westmoreland.
Gentlemen,
THE resolutions entered into at the late meeting of the people at Washington's ferry, with the various papers declaratory of the determination of the numerous subscribers to submit to the will of the civil authority, manifest strongly a change of sentiment in the inhabitants of this district. To what cause may truly be ascribed this favourable turn in the public mind, it is out of my province to determine.
Yourselfs, in the conversation last evening, imputed it to the universal panic which the approach of the army of the United States had excited in the lower order of the people.
If this be the real ground of the late change (and my respect for your opinions will not permit me to doubt it) the moment the cause is removed, the reign of violence and anarchy will return. Whatever, therefore, may be the sentiments of the people respecting the present competency of the civil authority to enforce the laws, I feel myself obligated by the trust reposed in me by the President of the United States, to hold the army in this country, until daily practice shall convince all that the sovereignty of the constitution and laws is unalterably established.
In executing this resolution, I not only consult the dignity and interest of the United States, which will always command my decided respect and preferential attention, but I also promote the good of this particular district.
I shall therefore, as soon as the troops are refreshed, proceed to some central and convenient station, where I shall patiently wait until the competency of the civil authority is experimentally and unequivocally proved. No individual can be more solicitous than I am for this happy event, and you may assure the good people whom you represent, that every aid will be cheerfully contributed by me to hasten the delightful epoch.
On the part of all good citizens I confidently expect the most active and faithful co-operation, which in my judgment cannot be more effectually given than by circulating in the most public manner the truth among the people, and by inducing the various clubs which have so successfully poisoned the minds of the inhabitants, to continue their usual meetings for the pious purpose of contradicting with their customary formalities, their past pernicious doctrines. A conduct so candid would partially atone for the injuries which in a great degree may be attributed to their instrumentalities, and must have a propitious influence in administering a radical cure to the existing disorders.
On my part, and on the part of the patriotic army I have the honor to command, assure your fellow-citizens that we come to protect and not to destroy, and that our respect for our common government, and respect to our own honors, are ample pledges of propriety in our demeanor.
Quiet, therefore, the apprehensions of all on this score, and recommend universally to the people to prepare for the use of the army whatever they can spare from their farms necessary to its subsistence, for which they shall be paid in cash at the present market price. Discourage exaction of every sort, not only because it would testify a disposition very unfriendly, but because it would probably produce very disagreeable scenes.
It is my duty to take care that the troops be comfortably subsisted, and I cannot but obey it with the highest pleasure, because I intimately know their worth and excellence.
I have the honor to be,
Gentlemen,
With due consideration,
Your most obedient servant,
HENRY LEE.

PHILADELPHIA,
NOVEMBER 17.
Extract of a Letter from an Officer in Gen. Wayne's army, dated
"Grand Glaise. Sept. 11, 1794."
"Since my last. (written from this place) no occurrence worthy of remark, has transpired. We have been delayed thus long for the purpose of putting Fort Defiance in such a state of defence as to repel the efforts of British force, should it happen that a war with Great Britain take

place. One continuance here will be but one day longer, when the army will take up the line of march for the Old Miami towns, where Gen. Harmar engaged the Savages in October 1790. There it is intended to establish a strong fort, which will be considered as the Grand Depot; this post will be regular and well garrisoned.
"When a fort is erected so close to the villages of the Indians, there is not the smallest doubt but they will flock to us. Indeed, since the defeat we gave them on the 20th ult. we have neither seen nor heard from them. Their wives and children have been, I suppose, their best cares to support them; they have been obliged to separate and hunt in small parties."
"For forty miles below us, we have destroyed innumerable acres of corn; and gardens as finely cultivated as have afforded us vegetables in abundance. Upon the smallest calculation we must have destroyed between three and four hundred thousand bushels of grain. It will therefore be impossible for the savages to live through the winter, unless their friends the British are remarkably kind to them—this kindness will no doubt be extended to a few tribes, but I much doubt whether they will be able to furnish the whole."
"We are all strangers to the politics of the Atlantic, but expect our victory will be a subject of great importance among you; indeed, before the budding of the leaves again, I hope to hail you with the glad tidings of peace. I have been so long immersed in these wilds that my first entrance into a civilized country would I believe, bring ridicule upon me."
Extract from a letter from an American in London, dated Sept. 14, received by the Boston.
"The French have discovered an instrument which they call a Telegraph, by which they convey dispatches 100 miles in three hours. It may appear to you almost impossible, but you may depend upon its being true. The Convention has sent dispatches to Lisle (about 120 miles) in the morning and had answers before they separated for dinner. They can send dispatches from the army in Flanders to the army in Spain in one day."
"The plan of the Telegraph is by beacons on the heights, at the distance of 12 or 15 miles from each other; in all these beacons are placed. The words to be conveyed are exhibited on the first, read, and exhibited by a short process at the second; and so on through the whole line. What the process is for copying the words so expediently, and for throwing such a body of light as to make them appear visible at such a distance, we know not, but it is clear that the experiment has complete success. Conferred at 6 o'clock in the morning: At the meeting of the Convention at 9 o'clock the same day, it was announced to them."
"It is reported that there has been a revolution in the King of Prussia's dominions, which has occasioned his raising the siege of Warshaw."
"The King of England has taken into pay one hundred thousand men, from the Emperor, for the present and next campaign against the French. The Duke of York will leave the army, and the Marquis Cornwallis takes his place. The Prince of Cobourg has resigned, and the Emperor's brother, the Arch-Duke Charles appointed, a young man about 22. The allies have worn out all the old Generals."
"Enclosed you have a sentence that was passed on two persons in Edinburgh the 8th of this month, which must appear to you, as a man of feeling, most horrid. Sorry am I to add, that I think they are not the only men that will receive the same sentence. There are at present about 20 persons confined in the tower, for a similar charge, of that number is Mr. Took."
"I shall return in the Pigeon. The Captain says he will leave town the 27th, but I do expect it will not be before the 30th."
Extract of a letter from an officer in the 1st Regiment of Philadelphia Militia, dated, Camp in the Woods, 30 miles from Pittsburgh, November 4th, 1794.
"Our toilsome march verges to a close. We expect to advance only 13 miles farther to the west; after which we shall turn our course towards Philadelphia. When we reach the banks of the Schuylkill, we shall darken the streets of your gay and splendid City, by the shades of the unfading Laurels, that cover our victorious brows."
"I have met with but few men of observation on this side of the mountains, from whom any information that can be relied on, could be collected, respecting the natural history of the place; and the rapidity of our march, and the numerous avocations, to which I am hourly subjected, have in a great measure, precluded me from making any, but such as are merely superficial."
"With regard to the general aspect of the country, from Carlisle to Pittsburgh, little, except one vast tract of antient and stupendous ruins, strikes the eye of the traveller. On leaving Carlisle, the blue mountains frown at a distance in front: No sooner has the traveller made his transit over these endless hills, than he bids a final adieu to champagne country. Through the remainder of his rough and toilsome route, he may be literally said, to pass through a country of mountains."
"The soil on the sides and summits of the Allegheny, is of a superior quality to that of the general chain of moun-
tains farther East. The most prominent features in the character of the inhabitants, are credulity and superstition, which I believe is the case every where till education and Philosophy have shed their refining beams upon the untutored mind. Their manners are simple, and undignified, but occasionally rude, as the rugged hills, which they inhabit. When inflamed with liquor, and irritated by insult, their passions I am informed, burst forth with the violence of the tempest, that launches its lightning against the brow of the hill."
"These mountains, Sir, were never formed by the subsidence of a displaced Ocean, nor by the Collapse of the Shell of the earth, when the vast abyss of waters was contained in its concave center. They have doubtless been elevated above the common level of their plains, by an almost omnipotent explosion of gases generated near the center, or at least a vast distance beneath its surface."
"I am fully persuaded, that the country on the western, is of a more antient date, than that on the eastern side of the Apalachian hills. The chain of speculation which has led me to this opinion, you shall be acquainted with, at a more convenient time. The superior elevation of the Western land, makes one important link in the chain."
"I find that in this country of hills, the wind at the surface of the ground is irregular in its course, owing to the diversified direction of the hills and valleys. To ascertain its true course I am obliged to mark the course of the clouds when there are any to be seen. When crossing the Allegheny on the 26th of October, the wind came as with you from the N. E. accompanied with a deluge of rain; which continued, tho' with less violence and some intermissions, for eleven days; but an intelligent and aged clergyman, who is settled on this side of the mountains, informs me that the settled rains here are generally accompanied with a south-west wind; this wind rolls before it the congregated clouds formed by the vapours from the Mississippi and the vast gulph that receives its waters."
"Our readers will perceive that the following is a better translation of the President's Letter of Credit for Mr. Monroe, than that published in Saturday's Gazette. The subsequent articles have not been before published in this city."
Letter of credit for James Monroe, &c.
George Washington, President of the United States of America,
To the Representatives of the French people members of the committee of public Safety of the French Republic, the great friend and good ally of the United States.
"Having been informed of the desire of the French Republic that a new Minister should be sent to it by the United States, I have resolved to manifest my sense of the promptitude with which my desire of a similar nature was complied with, by complying with that of your government. Some time elapsed before a man could be found worthy of the important commission of expressing the wishes of the United States, for the happiness of our Allies, and of drawing closer the bonds of our amity. I have now made choice of James Monroe, one of our distinguished citizens, to reside with the French Republic, in quality of minister Plenipotentiary of the United States of America. He is charged to express to you our sincere solicitude for your prosperity, and to cultivate with zeal the cordiality which so happily subsists between us."
"From my knowledge of his fidelity, probity and good conduct, I have full confidence that he will render himself agreeable, to you, and that he will fulfil our desire of maintaining and promoting, on all occasions, the interests and connections of the two nations. I therefore request you to give entire credit to whatever he shall say in the name of the United States, especially when he shall assure you that your prosperity is an object of our affection, and I pray God to have the French Republic in his holy keeping. [Applause.]"
"Written at Philadelphia, this 28th day of May 1794. GO. WASHINGTON. by the President of the United States of America. EDM. RANDOLPH. Secretary of State"
Philadelphia, June 16, 1794.
"The undersigned Secretary of State of the U. States of America, has the honour to inform the committee of public safety, that on the 25th April of the present year, it was unanimously resolved by the house of representatives, that the letter from the committee of Public Safety of the French Republic,
addressed to Congress, should be transmitted to the President of the United States, and that he should be requested to reply to it in the name of the said house, expressing its sense of the amicable and affectionate manner in which the committee addressed the Congress of the United States, and adding a positive assurance that the Representatives of the people of the U. States, take a lively interest in the happiness and the prosperity of the French Republic."
"The President of the United States having considered this honorable and interesting task to the department of state, it cannot be more conveniently executed, than by seizing this occasion to declare formally to the allies of the United States, that the cause of liberty, for the defence of which, the Americans have lavished so much blood and treasure, is cherished by our republic with increasing enthusiasm; that wherever the standard of Liberty shall be displayed, the affection of the United States will always be roused, and that the success of those who rise to assert the cause of Liberty, will be celebrated by the United States, and felt as if it were their own, and that of the other friends of humanity."
"Yes, representatives of our ally, your communication was addressed to men who participate in your fate, and take the warmest interest in the happiness and the prosperity of the French republic."
(Signed) E. RANDOLPH."
DECLARATION of the SENATE.
Philadelphia, June 10, 1794.
"The undersigned Secretary of State of the United States of America, has the honor to communicate to the Committee of Public Safety of the Republic of France, that on the 24th April, 1794, it was ordered by the Senate of the United States, that the letter of the committee addressed to Congress should be transmitted to the President, and that he should be requested to reply to it in the name of the Senate, in a manner to manifest the sincere friendship of that house, and its good dispositions towards the French republic."
"In fulfilling this task, committed by the President to the department of state, the generous succour which the United States received from the French nation in their struggle for independence occurs strongly to our memory. It is on this basis, that the friendship between the two nations was at first founded. It is on this basis and mutual regard shown since, that the friendship has encreased and supported by these motives, it will be firm and constant. For this reason the Senate presents to the Committee of Public Safety sincere wishes for the republic of France. The senate will hear with pleasure of every success which advances the happiness of the French nation, and the complete establishment of the peace and liberty of France, will be considered by the Senate, as an instance of good fortune for the United States and for humanity."
(Signed) E. RANDOLPH.

BOSTON, November 6.
ELECTIONEERING CRACKER.
A Correspondent observes, that in the return of votes from every town, except two, Mr. Ames has a great majority—In Dorchester, however, the Madisonian interest prevailed; which may, in some measure, be attributed to the Doctor's having SEVENTY THREE GAME COCKS, at board, in that town!
A HOME STROKE!
During the late summer campaign of a detachment of the Boston theatrical corps, in the eastern country, several exhibitions were presented at Portsmouth—Footz's comedy, "The Liar," was advertised, with an after piece, for the first evening's entertainment. Mr. S. P. performed "Young Wilding," [The Liar;] and the AMERICAN EDWIN was his prime minister, "Papillon." In that complexity of distress, to which, in a very ingenious plot, "Young Wilding" is reduced, by his inexhaustible art of embelishment, he applies to the ingenuity of his right-worshipful plenipotentiary to relieve him from his embarrassments: on which occasion, our favorite son of the flock, with his genuine comic humor, thus shrewdly soliloquized:
"What can I do for my master? Were he in England, his inventive faculty might squib the French out of Holland, or write odes on the genius of King George! Oh, lord, lord, how I sweat for him! 'Tis infamy to a gentleman, to be seen walking in the street with him; and not a lady will suffer him to wear even the chain of her monkey! Poor Wilding thou'rt certainly starve in this dull matter o' fact country, like a spider in Scotland! For, the only occupation, which, is now left my dear, helpless, detected, chop-fallen, tongue-tied master, is to write LIES for the BOSTON CHRONICLE!!"
The boxes clapped—the pit roared—the gallery thundered—and Johnny Samson Sberburne left the house!!

For the Information of the  Merchants.
The committee having been notified by the Secretary of State, that the Agent of claims and appeals appointed by the Presi- dent of the United States is to embark immediately for London, and that he is au- thorized to bind the United States under the direction of Mr. Jay, for the costs and da- mages, attending the prosecution of the claims of American citizens; that the nec- essary counsel will be engaged on the part of the United States, and that if the parties will obtain copies of the proceedings of the Courts on their respective cases, the ex- penses of the records will be reimbursed by the United States.
They are of opinion that measures ought to be immediately taken for obtain- ing authenticated copies of such records and proceedings in all cases where they have not already been preserved, and will under- take to obtain them for all such of their fellow-citizens as shall within 20 days from this date furnish the names of the vessels and masters; the ports or places where tried or condemned, with such other infor- mation as the circumstances of the case may require.
They recommend to those who have al- ready obtained the copies of the proceed- ings of the Courts to have them examined by some person of legal knowledge; that if they should be found defective in any re- spect the deficiency may be supplied, at the same time that the records are applied for. In behalf of the Committee.  THOMAS FITZSIMONS. November 6, 1794.
NOTICE,
Is hereby given to all persons, interest- ed in the cases of British captures, that Mr. Samuel Bayard, of the City of Phila- delphia, is appointed to proceed to Lon- don, as agent of claims and appeals; that the merchants of Philadelphia, whose pro- perty has been condemned, have appoint- ed a committee, consisting of Thomas Fitzsimons, James Yard, Stephen Girard, James Olden and J. Shoemaker, to confer occasionally with the Secretary of State; That copies of the letters, which have passed between the Committee and the Sec- retary, are transmitted to the several Coll. Dors in the United States, for the in- spection of all concerned: That the Com- mittee will adopt measures for procuring the records, yet wanting: And will enter into the proper correspondences in the U- nited States, and in the West Indies. The appointment of a committee was at the desire of the Secretary of State, for the convenience of persons at a distance. But any letters upon this subject are still to be addressed to him.
To the Merchants of the  United States.
At the special request of the secreta- ry of state, the committee appointed by the merchants of Philadelphia, have undertaken to obtain copies of the pro- ceedings of the courts in the British Islands, in the West-Indies: Bermuda, the Bahamas, and in their colonies in North America, upon the cases of A- merican vessels, and property tried in the courts in any of the said Islands, or colonies.
The Committee therefore give this public notice, that all persons concerned who have not already obtained authen- tic copies of the proceedings, in their particular cases, may furnish the Secre- tary of State with the names of the vessels, and masters, the places where the trial was had, the time when, and such other circumstances as the nature of the case may require.
It is deemed important that those particulars be furnished as soon as pos- sible. Nov. 8, 1794.

Distant Subscribers
For this Gazette, are hereby respectfully requested to pay up their Subscriptions to the first of January next. The Editor will be under the necessity of considering those who do not then renew their Sub- scription by paying Six Months in Ad- vance, as declining to take the Paper any longer. As there is a considerable Sum due from remote Subscribers for the late half Weekly Paper published by the Editor, he most earnestly requests those who may be delin- quent, to take the earliest opportunity of remitting him the balance they may re- spectively be indebted—the sums are indi- vidually trifling—the want of the Aggre- gate is severely felt.
