FRAUNCES'S TAVERN. No. 59 South Water Street.
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 Haslehurst, and on which he has spared no pains or expense, to make it convenient and agreeable for the reception of gentlemen. The House being situated on the same spot where the noted Beef Steak and Punch house formerly stood, has the advantage of the best water in this city, known long since by the name of the Green Tree Water. As there are several elegant Rooms, sufficiently large to accommodate any Society or company of gentlemen, and from his well known abilities to please in the line of his business, he flatters himself with a continuance of that patronage which he has experienced since he first opened a Public House in this City, and, for which he begs leave to make a public acknowledgment. For the accommodation of Small Parties, the Large Coffee Room on the ground floor is conveniently fitted up with a number of Boxes, constructed in such a manner as to admit Gentlemen to be as private as they please—Where may be had, at any hour, Soups, Beef-Steaks, Relishes, &c. &c. He has on hand, and will keep a constant supply of Spirituous and Malt Liquors, and of the best qualities. Breakfasts provided—Also Dinners and Suppers cooked in the most approved manner, at a short notice, and sent off all sorts, made to order, in the House, or to send out at any hour. He has several well furnished Bed Chambers, for Boarders and Lodgers, by the Week, month, or year.  SAMUEL FRAUNCES. June 2.
RIDING-SCHOOL, AND Horse Academy; Also, HOSPITAL FOR SICK AND LAME HORSES, &c.
THE Ladies and Gentlemen of Philadelphia and its vicinity are respectfully informed, that a Building of the above description is intended to be immediately erected, under the sole direction of T. SWANN, where Ladies and Gentlemen will be instructed in Riding and managing the Horse according to the established rules of art, and Horses will be properly broke for every purpose. But as the fitting up such buildings will be attended with a heavy expense, he has published proposals, soliciting a subscription to forward this useful Seminary, particulars of which may be seen at Mr. Ormrod's Printing Office Chestnut Street; he will be happy to wait upon any lady or gentleman inclined to honour him with their support and fully explain himself on this subject, a line addressed to him at No. 63, South Third-street will be duly attended to. Those gentlemen &c. who may have horses labouring with diseases either sick or lame he will attend on them if desired and immediately explain the nature of the complaint and what can be done to help and relieve them—he also engages to cure and make sound horses which have the following complaints, viz. canker'd feet, contracted hoofs, sand cracks, quittors, splents, wind galls, curbs and spavins, either bog or hock, if in their first stages. He performs a curious manual operation which takes away the cause of blindness from Horses that have bad and weak eyes. The above he has experienced on more than six hundred Horses, with singular success. N. B. Any Lady or Gentleman who have Horses that have been ill broke, and very awkward and unhandy to ride, he will engage to give them six suppling lessons in his temporary manage, at the small expense of only five Dollars, by which their Mouths and actions shall be more altered for the better than is possible to be conceived by those who are unacquainted with the art. The Lectures on Horsemanship published by T. Swann are to be had at Mr. Ormrod's, Chestnut-street; where-in is contained more concise and genuine instructions on which the art is founded, than are to be had in any publication, comprised in so small a compass, now extant.

For the GAZETTE of the UNITED STATES.
ONE of the people from whom the Treaty of Amity, Commerce and Navigation between his Britannic Majesty and the United States, has been already improperly withheld, having had a fight of it through the patriotic interference of a Senator, and the guardian of all our rights, the press of our dear beloved B. F. Bache, tho' at a distance can't keep his hands off that fellow John Jay.—I am sorry that I was not at Philadelphia to join in the pleasure of burning him in Effigy with my enlightened countrymen, who have seen this d—d treaty and know all about it. Why John, you certainly were asleep when you made it, you have given away the dearest privileges of your dear country, when the English would have given every thing up to you if you had been bold to ask it: For with all their large fleets and big armies, they were afraid of us, and a good reason they had, did you but see how we raised the militia last fall.—You certainly mistook our situation Mr. Penipotentiary, we did not send you to England to recognize the obligation and payment of our just debts to British creditors, as contemplated by the definitive treaty of peace between that country and us.—We sent you there to get money from those lads, for our merchants and others who have sustained losses during the course of the last war, by reason of illegal captures, and I don't know how the D— you came to introduce the complaints of his Majesty's subjects about debts to a considerable amount, which were bona fide contracted before the peace, and still remaining due to them from the citizens of this country, unless you did it to preserve the old system of reciprocity in treaties. And now friend John, I have heard some of our people find fault with your treaty for want of reciprocity, but I differ from them in this particular, for altho' it is apprehended that the payment of bona fide debts contracted before the peace, may bring in the important state of Delaware to pay up arrearages of quit rent due to the proprietors, and the Virginians to pay for the clothes they used to wear, I am sure the claims of our merchants will bring all back again.—Why I remember altho' I lived in a remote part of the country, to have heard of those great losses, and certainly our merchants must have lost three times as much as the British creditors, for I have heard four times as much noise about it.—There is one thing true, and give the D— his due, we were in a bad way when we sent you to England John, the British had been hard enough to interfere with us in carrying on an advantageous trade with their open enemies, and had insulted the importance of the republican flag by taking vessel and all into New-England. This however was not much, we might have gone over in canoes, and brought those Islanders to terms, but some of our folks had kicked up a bobbery about whiskey, that seemed a little unpromising to the general government at that time.—But with all this, Mr. Jay, you are to blame, in not demanding an exclusive right to the trade of the British West-India Islands, because altho' the British have been at some expence about them, they lay nearer to us. I would have had it at least, "That the United States consent that it shall and may be lawful during the time herein after limited, for the subjects of his Britannic Majesty to carry to any of their own West-India Islands in their own vessels not being above 70 tons burthen, any goods or merchandise being of the growth of the mother country, which it is or may be lawful to carry to the said Islands from the said United States in their vessels, and that the said British vessels shall be subject there to no other or higher tonnage duties or charges than shall be payable by American vessels in the said ports." This is the way to pen the article, and you put your foot in it when you penned it the other way.—Altho' you have secured a firm, inviolable and universal peace, and true and sincere friendship between his Britannic Majesty, his heirs and successors, and the United States of America, and between the respective countries, cities and towns, and people of every degree; and altho' you have procured the British government to pledge themselves to our merchants for indemnification of losses occasioned by illegal captures and condemnation in the late war, and to make complete engagements to relinquish the northern posts you have left the West-Indies. As to what is laid about being prohibited from exporting Molasses, Sugar, Coffee, Cocoa or Cotton, from the United States, I don't care a farthing about it, for if you have given up the command of the British West-India Islands, these things must go along with it. Here we don't pretend to make Molasses, Sugar, or to raise Coffee, Cocoa or Cotton, for exportation, of the first four articles we have none, (an humble attempt to make Sugar excepted) and that of the last, I stand informed, we don't raise enough to darn our stockings, and that of a very bad quality.—I had like to forget one circumstance that might possibly happen, the French may reclaim their West-India trade before this article expires, by its own limitation, and either through brotherly love to us, or in mere malice to the British, might offer to give us an equal advantage in the trade, they have had so many hard knocks about the acceptance of which, (if any body thinks they would make the offer) this article would seem to foreclose for a time. I would submit to my fellow-citizens, whether possible and remote advantages should outweigh our solid and immediate interests, and whether we should barter the last for the first. By the treaty his Majesty is to withdraw all his troops and garrisons from ports and places within the boundary line assigned by the treaty of peace to the United States, before the 1st day of June 1796, in lieu of what? A promise to do that justice to British creditors which we have hitherto withheld. By this we procure an extent of territory in peace, which will give us an ascendancy over both the strength and trade of the Indians. A circumstance of the first importance to this country in case of a continental war, which is the only one we are able to carry on with effect, or that the interest of this country could involve us in. I would have my fellow-citizens to view the appreciation of the back lands belonging to government, consequent upon the delivery of the posts, and that we lay aside the heavy opposition we met with from the Indians on that frontier in the course of our contest with Great Britain, and which otherwise would avail us upon the like occasion. I would have my fellow-citizens to cast their eyes to a descent on that country by the French, which time may bring about, and which might involve us in some disagreeable negotiations with our dear brethren that might tend to disratify us. If our people that burnt the Effigy of Mr. Jay, would but let the treaty be confirmed, we should experience those permanent advantages before one case would occur under the 12th article, to which they might apply their metaphysical touchstone. The cession of territory by the definitive treaty of peace to the United States was a matter of some surprize at that day, but the British have agreed not only to give up their garrisons within it, but to do justice to our merchants for losses in the late war, and to let us partially into their West-India trade. I ask, could we do better on our own bottom, or have we better expectations from any other nation in Europe? We had experienced some of the effects of the want of this treaty with Britain, and if we liked them so well, I am surprized at Mr. Jay's mission, a circumstance of very general approbation. However Mr. Jay, I am not done with you, hold up your hand, about the manner of appointing commissioners to adjust the several claims contemplated in the treaty; you have left the affair entirely to chance, why the British have just as good a chance to get the odd commissioner as we have, which is another blameworthy part of your conduct.—However, I
think we'll handle your treaty in such a manner, as to get quit of it, and then we'll send some truly patriotic fellow over to make a treaty to please us all. DAUPHIN COUNTY, July 10, 1795. A FARMER.
To whom it most concerns. GREAT variety of opinions about religion, mode of worship, and administration of ordinances, have long obtained in the world; and it is probable they will obtain for some considerable time yet to come: that is, to the end, or nearly to the end, of the sixth millennial age of the world. For then cometh the fullness of time, when all shall speak the same thing, and be perfectly joined together in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
As the business has been hitherto managed, these different opinions have not done much for the benefit of man, nor the praise of his wisdom. And yet, the natural and proper use to be made of them, is to learn from them reciprocally, patience, forbearance, and all those friendly and liberal sentiments, which dignify man, and promote his happiness.
Under the pretence of healing all these maladies, several attempts have been made to ridicule religion, so, as to leave it without advocates or professors. And, lately, attempts have been made to banish it, and all worship of the deity, out of the world: but this promise is not well. It has the appearance of those remedies, that are worse than the disease against which they are prescribed.
If a religion founded on mercy, and in strong, emphatic terms, enjoining upon all its professors charity and peace and brotherly love—if such a religion should fail in persuading men to live in amity with men, it is not probable that such a great and happy effect can be produced by such banishment.
On the contrary, when every man becomes a law to himself; and every man's mind the standard of his faith and rule of practice; much is it to be feared that anarchy will ensue; that power will prevail against justice; self-interest against honesty & truth; and that innocence, pursued and persecuted, will no where find a place of safety or of shelter.
If, while under the terror of most tremendous threatenings, and the encouragement of most endearing promises, reason can be led captive by the passions, how shall it possibly be able to maintain its post, when those barriers shall be broken down and removed? Folly may promise and vice allure; but virtue and truth make a very different report; and their report must be, in the final issue, established.
For preventing that coldness, which is too often unhappily found among professors of different denominations; and those contentions which have pelted the world and irritated minds, that should ever glow with mercy and benevolence; surely, surely some better method than either of the above, might be adopted.
The following hints may possibly be improved to good advantage.
Let all clergymen of every denomination, professing christianity, meet annually at some appointed place within their state, and there pass together a few days in preaching and praying; and is a free and friendly manner conversing. (but not disputing) about religion, and the most probable methods of promoting it and good morals. From these meetings, deputies to be chosen to meet deputies of other states, at appointed times throughout the Union.
Also, let ministers, of different denominations, preach, occasionally, in each others parishes; and communicate together freely and without distinction. In the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper it appears shameful, (perhaps it is worse) to stand upon a difference of profession so as not to join with any decent and regular people, in that great solemnity, in which all christians should unite, without respect to professions, that are not fundamentally and essentially erroneous.
The promotion of christian charity and brotherly love, all denominations should always have in view. It is a point, which they should all labor, might and main, to establish. From such establishment more happiness would flow than words can express or the heart conceive.
You that have heads to digest, and minds willing to adopt such a scheme, think of these hints, and improve them into a practical plan, that christians of all denominations may live in harmony and peace; be courteous, having compassion one of another; and love as brethren.

FRIDAY, June 19.
Oakfuskey, Upper Creek, April 3, 1795. A TALK from the Chiefs of the Upper and Lower Creeks, here assembled, to his Excellency William Blount, Esquire, Governor of the Western Territory.
We, the Chiefs of the Upper and Lower Creeks, here assembled, inform his Excellency Governor Blount, and all his subjects in the Western Territory, that we are here met and convened, with a full resolution to make a firm and lasting peace with the whole of the subjects of the United States; and that we are at this time let about the business of collecting the horses, white prisoners and negroes, and all other property in our land, belonging to the subjects of the United States, whether from Cumberland, Kentucky, or any other part of the Western Territory, which according to the present demand of James Seagrove, Esquire, agent to the Creek nation, we the chiefs of the nation mean to set off in a few days with, down to Georgia, at the place appointed to meet our beloved man, James Seagrove, Esquire, and deliver to him all the said property and white prisoners; at which time, we, the chiefs of this nation, have concluded to direct our beloved man, James Seagrove, Esquire, to forward the property belonging to the Western Territory to that quarter; and at the same time, we, the chiefs, intend to request our beloved man, James Seagrove, Esquire, to write fully our friendly intentions to all the several Governors of the Western Territories.—We the chiefs met here, inform Governor Blount, and all his officers and subjects, that they may put full confidence in what we say, and that we from this time are determined to bury the hatchet, guns, and all other sharp weapons, and take all the white people by the hand like brothers, and never to spill each others blood any more. We the chiefs of the Creek nation, therefore inform his Excellency Governor Blount, and all the inhabitants, that they may in future, on receipt of this, work on their farms without the least fear or dread, hunt their flocks, and pass from place to place without the least apprehension of danger or molestation. We have to add, that we have this day received a
talk from the agent of Indian affairs from the United States, in the Cherokees, which we have in our keeping, and agree one and all to pay attention to. As we had finished all our talks in favour of peace with the United States this day; therefore hope the agent of Indian affairs in the Cherokees, will forward these our talks with dispatch to his Excellency Governor Blount and Brigadier General Robertson, and to all other officers and subjects of the Western Territory.
We certify, that the above talk was wrote in our presence, at the request of the Chiefs of the Upper and Lower Creeks.
his JOSEPH X CORNELL, Deputy mark. Agent Indian Affairs, Upper Creeks. TIMOTHY BARNARD, Deputy Agent Indian Affairs, U. S. Lower Creeks. P. S. We have received one prisoner boy, named George Brown, son to a Mrs. Brown, formerly a prisoner in this nation. Witness, RICHARD THOMAS, Clerk to the Chiefs of the Upper Creeks.
By this Day's MAILS.
NEW-YORK, July 14. Capt. Bushby, of the brig Dispatch, arrived yesterday from Port au Prince, informs us, that the brigands, about 5 weeks since, had erected a fort opposite to the town of Port au Prince, and commenced a cannonade, which did little injury; and that the British opened their batteries at fort Bissetten against them, the shot from which, knocked down the Republican flag staff, demolished their works, and finally obliged them to retreat. Capt. B. says, that provisions are plenty, several American vessels lately arrived there. Salt beef and pork selling at from ten to twelve dollars per barrel. On Friday last at Hackinsack, N. J. the top of the church was struck with thunder, and shivered the one side of the steeple down a considerable distance: during the same power one or two barns were consumed on the opposite side of the river. A cow belonging to a Mr. Young was killed at the same time.

Monday last arrived the ship George Washington of this port, commanded by Capt. Jonathan Donnison, after a passage of six months and three days from Canton, richly laden with the productions and manufactures of the Eastern world. Capt. Donnison on his homeward bound passage, in lat. 70, E. long. 20, S. in the night of the 19th of February, met with a severe gale of wind, which lasted 12 hours, during which the rudder broke off near the rudder port, which threw the ship on her beam ends; her topmasts were carried away, all her sails stripped from the masts, &c. and it was nine hours before she righted. It took two days to clear the wreck; when, by the help of two log-chains that happened to be on board, which were got round the lower part of the rudder, and other sails being bent, the ship bore away for the Isle of France, where she arrived the 19th of March, and where Capt. Donnison received the most prompt and ready assistance from that most friendly nation, the French, which enabled him in 17 days again to proceed to sea, with a new rudder, spars, &c.—It is hoped that her cargo has not suffered much damage, tho' it was so much shifted on one side of the ship, as to give her about a freak list, and obliged Capt. Donnison to fill 20 hogheads with water, and flow on the other side, to put her nearly upright. If the cargo should prove clear of damage, the impost duties thereon will amount to 100,000 dollars, all to be paid by her owners. It is worthy of remark, that Capt. Donnison, in a voyage of 18 months, with 50 men in his crew, has lost but one; he was a Portuguese, taken on board at Madeira, and was killed by a fall from the main yard.
Capt. Howland, in a ship from Baltimore, arrived at the Isle of France in distress, while Capt. Donnison was there, having suffered in the same gale.
Capt. Sigourney, in a brig from Boston, failed two days before Capt. Donnison, from the Isle of France. Capt. Caldwell, in the ship Liberty, bound for Philadelphia, also failed 4 days before him.
Tuesday evening arrived the ship Hope, Capt. Low, from Manila, laden with furs, &c. &c.
Captain William Page, in the brigantine Henry, arrived since our last in thirty three days from Brest.
By Capt. Page we learn, that on the 20th and 21st of May another violent commotion took place in the French National Convention, and which was not quelled until a large number of the Jacobin leaders of the riot were sacrificed by the National Guards.
ALBANY, July 3.
The 12th article of the treaty with England, which allows the United States a free intercourse with their West-India Islands in vessels of 70 tons or under, is a privilege which that nation permits to no other country—even to Portugal, with whom for many years they have been on the most liberal terms of commercial friendship—but that we should preclude ourselves from shipping to Europe the productions of the West-Indies, is a circumstance which a correspondent supposes, the situation of the two countries, does not warrant our assenting to.
BOSTON July 10.
TO THE CITIZENS OF BOSTON. YOU are called upon this day as a Town, to give, your opinion respecting the Treaty with Great Britain. I confess myself one among the number of those who are dissatisfied with the Treaty; but I altogether condemn the measure of discussing the subject in Town Meeting, for two reasons—one because the Citizens assembled in such meetings cannot so well judge upon commercial subjects, as those who are immediately interested

in them, and the other, because a decision of the town at large would have less weight perhaps with the President, than a respectful remonstrance from the merchants, who must be supposed to have a more perfect knowledge of the commercial interests of our country, than individuals of other professions can possibly have. Besides, it will be known that one of the Printers of the Chronicle , a paper which has by no means complimented the President or the Federal Government, carried about the petition for a meeting; and so convinced were the Jacobins, that this was the very moment to attack the Federal Government, that Notifications, far different from those officially issued, were printed even before the Selectmen had acted upon the Petition for calling a meeting, or had issued their warrant. I say, these things will be known, with many other circumstances, which will have a more direct tendency to injure the cause which almost every one wishes to espouse, than will perhaps be readily conceived. It becomes therefore every class of citizens, in a time of political confusion, to be extremely cautious, especially those who have suffered by the unjust spoliation on our Commerce; for an imprudent, impolitic, and improper conduct of the Citizens of Boston, may not only cast a stigma upon them in the eyes of the world, but will probably render them objects of jealousy among all commercial nations.
Freight from France, and they are particularly instructed to stop all Goods consigned to, or from the following gentlemen, namely, Messrs. Delard and Swan, Paris; Mr. W. Alexander St. John, of the island of Albius; Messrs. Fenwick and Mason, Bourdeaux; Mr. George Lane, Brett; Mr. Anderson, American Consul, Brett; Mr. Robert Morris, Philadelphia; Mr. Henry Jackson, Boston; and several others whom they conceive mere covers of French Property. The Privateer Owners obtain their information of the several characters, by stopping the Papers of every ship they meet, and by a general connection come at facts with tolerable accuracy.
The Nancy spoke the ship Alliance of Nantucket, from the Brazil coast, a Whaler, off Long-Island, bound home, she had been out ten months.
On the 28th ult. died at Bermuda, the well known privateer owner, Mr. BRIDGER GOODRICH. He is said to have died worth an immense property, totally refusing from that disgraceful employment. His funeral was splendid to a degree, and the ceremony was very generally attended.
On the 8th inst. a very unfortunate accident happened on board the Nancy, in Holmes's Hole, Martha's Vineyard: As John Chesman about nine or ten years old (a native of Broadway, Virginia, and an apprentice to Capt. Smith) was loosing the main-top-sail, he unfortunately fell from the yard, on the main deck, and fractured his skull in so dreadful a manner, that he instantly expired: It was nearly calm, and the accident is more to be lamented as he was generally beloved, and had the most promising appearance of making a figure in his profession.
This morning, also arrived Schooner William, Capt. Thomas Rogers, in 23 days from Cape Francois. Nothing New.
Tuesday, July 7. Arrived, Schooner Nancy, Cassell, in 22 days from Martinique. June 23, lat. 32, 31, long. 66, spoke a Schooner from Baltimore for Hispaniola. July 6, 9 leagues E. S.E. of Cape Cod, was boarded from the Sir Charles Grey, privateer.
Same day, Arrived Sloop Sally, Stacy, Martinique, 25 days. Spoke only the Sir Charles.
Wednesday, July 8. Arrived brig Bedford, Freeman, in 28 days from Fayal. June 14, lat. 38, 38, long. 34, 40, spoke brig Columbia, from Philadelphia for the East-Indies. June 20, lat. 40, 30, long. 55, 35, spoke captain Bunker, in 50 days from Surinam, for Holland. June 23, lat. 41, 27, long. 48, 17, spoke ship Peggy from New-York for London.
Same day, Arrived brig Bedford, Freeman, in 45 days from Brett. June 8, lat. 44, 27, spoke a Schooner, 30 days from Charleston, for Corunna. June 9, lat. 44, 31, long. 40, spoke the John and Joseph 18 days from Baltimore for Bourdeaux. June 18, lat. 41, 56, long. 64, spoke Union, Leer, from New-York for Hamburg, out 5 days. June 24, lat. 42, long. 60, spoke a Schooner, 5 days from Salem for Rochel. June 30, lat. 42, 15, spoke a Schooner 3 days from Cape Ann bound to Lisbon.
Same day, arrived brig Katy, Rider, in 24 days from St. Croix, spoke no vessels. Left there Speedwell, Lowell, of Boston; Polly and Betty, Gordon, Providence; Venus, Mason, Philadelphia, all to sail in about ten days.
Same day, Arrived Danish Galliot, Neptune, Bargum, in 56 days from Gibraltar. June 10, lat. 42, long. 32, 30, spoke the Lucy, Seward, from Boston for Hamburg. June 20, lat. 43, 26, long. 55, 30, spoke captain Goodridge, of New-York, last from Halifax, bound for Hamburg. July 1, spoke a packet 29 days from England for New-Brunswick.
The Industry, Nye, from Liverpool. June 1, lat. 46, 43, long. 43, 30, spoke a ship from Norfolk for France. June 26, lat. 41, 49, long. 62, 8, spoke a brig 4 days from Nantucket for the Cape de Verds. July 4, lat. 42, 27, long. 70, 30, spoke a brig from Salem for Barbadoes.
Since our last arrived a Danish galliot, from Palermo and Gibraltar, 72 days from the former, and 56 from the latter place. At neither of which places, though so conveniently situated for receiving news from Algiers, was there any news of those pirates being out of the Straights.
Captain Freeman from Fayal, in 28 days, heard nothing of the Algerines being out, tho' a Portuguese Frigate arrived there a few days before he failed. In fact, the news by her was, that they were actually in port.
By a late arrival from St. Croix, we received a file of late St. Croix papers; they are, as usual, barren of news; but a manuscript forwarded thro' the same medium, contains the following interesting intelligence. How true it is, we cannot decide.
By a Danish Sloop direct from St. Pierre, Martinique, we learn, that just before her departure from thence, dispatches were received from the General, informing that General Meyer, with 1200 troops, had taken possession of Demerara. These dispatches the Danish captain saw.
About the beginning of June, off St. Thomas's, an action took place between the Alarm British frigate of 32 guns, and the La Liberte French corvette of 20 guns. It was obstinate and bloody—it lasted through three glasses, and soon after the Frenchman struck the junk; chief of the people however, were saved.
It is also reported, that a battle took place about the same time between the Thorn British Sloop of war of 16 guns, and an armed 20 gun ship, going from America for St. Domingo, for a commission. The action was lengthy, but ended in favour of the Thorn. The prisoners, said to be mostly Americans, were sent up to St. Kitt's.
Capt. de Young, just arrived, spoke a French fleet of one 50 gun ship, a frigate and a brig, cruising off St. Thomas's, Tortola, &c. The same fleet that visited the coast of Africa.
Captain Caswell, in 20 days from Martinique, informs, that the French from Guadalupe had effected the landing of 400 men on Dominica, who had marched back of the island and fortified themselves, and who were receiving continual reinforcements by the revolting of the Negroes: in a short time they were expected to begin operations against the English, and would soon possess the island. Many attempts had been made to land on Martinique, but they had all failed.
Yesterday afternoon by the accidental catching of some shavings, the house of Mr. Durell, and the adjoining ones tenanted by Mr. Cobb, situated in the west end of West Boston, were consumed by fire. The exertions of the citizens prevented that
element from doing damage to any of the neighbouring buildings.
NEW-YORK, July 13. It is curious to observe the rise and progress of popular ferment; and how the tide of popular censure and declamation in the United States, resembles the inflammatory proceedings of the Jacobins in Paris, in its ebbings and flowings. What is called in England, Opposition; in France Jacobinism, and in the United States, Antifederalism, or more recently Democracy, will be found on close examination, to arise out of the nature of man and a free government. It is a collection of the discontented disappointed, restless and irritable passions, perpetually in action, and operating successfully on great numbers of weak, credulous minds, and drawing them into the turbulent vortex of party.
Men who lead the opposition, are usually men of some talents which are most ill-directed; and they are seldom or ever equal to the forming any great and extensive plans. These men just know enough to find fault with others; but rarely, if ever have talents to form better plans as substitutes. Every dunce can pull down an edifice; but only a skillful architect can build one.
The materials of Jacobinism being the more inflammable passions, make a violent blaze for a time, and then gradually expire. Jacobinism relies on the populace—the populace, when agitated, rage with fury—they bear down all before them for a moment—then disperse—go home—reflect—and repent of their folly.
Steady wisdom always gets the better of this frantic enthusiasm. The ferment excited by the treaty already begins to be allayed—the more the treaty is read, the better it is understood, the less objectionable it appears—and many men who executed the treaty before they had read it, now say, "it is not so bad as they thought,"—and others do not hesitate to say, they believe it is as good as could be obtained, and all candid men agree, to exonerate Gov. Jay from any censures.
The issue of this nine days wonder will be still more favorable to our late Envoy; and our Jacobins will have the mortification to see all their efforts to shake the steady administration of our government, totally blasted; and all the fire of popular rage end in smoke.
It is a remarkable, but undeniable fact, that the most violent clamors about our losses at Sea and about the treaty, come from people who have lost nothing, and who have nothing to lose.
PHILADELPHIA, July 15.
From the New-London paper of July 9.
Capt. A. Sheffield arrived here yesterday in 21 days from Turk's Island, and gave us verbally the following intelligence:—Captain Anthony, in a vessel belonging to Newport, arrived at Turk's Island from St. Thomas's the day Capt. Sheffield failed from thence, and informed him that twelve French ships of the line and 19,000 troops had arrived at Guadalupe, and that 4 ships of the line had arrived at St. Thomas's to purchase provisions. Two days before the arrival of the French ships at St. Thomas's, flour was offered there by the captains of two vessels from Philadelphia at 9 dollars per barrel. A captain of a vessel belonging to Halifax, arrived likewise the day before Captain Sheffield failed, and informed that the British cruising frigates were all driven into Barbadoes by the French. Capt. Tracy arrived from St. Bartholomew, likewise informs, that the same intelligence was at that island, but not fully authenticated.
In a late communication to the national assembly of France, from one of their amies in Spain, it is stated, that one thousand French, defeated, and pursued for several miles, four columns of Spaniards, each consisting of eight thousand men.
From CORRESPONDENTS.
It is in vain, says a Correspondent to expect a perfect calm in the political world, it is not best, that such should be the state of things. Let the friends of this Country know, let them constantly bear in mind that unrelenting unceasing vigilance is necessary on their part to preserve "the peace liberty and safety" of the United States, under the auspices of the Federal Government.
So long as human passions exist, so long will envy ambition and avarice plot in secret to undermine public happiness.
The reflection is natural, that the agents, under divine providence, who have conducted the affairs of this country so ably and so prosperously, would receive the thanks of the People, and that almost unlimited confidence would have been the reward of their talents and integrity—but is this the state of things? I trust it is, says our Correspondent, in respect to a very great majority of the people. Notwithstanding our Gazettes, and the Toast makers hold up a quite different picture to the world—according to these, no country was ever so badly governed, or had a set of greater knaves in power.
PORT of PHILADELPHIA.
Yesterday arrived the ship Liberty, capt. Caldwell, from the isle of France which place he sailed from the 18th of March, and left there the following American ships, &c.
Ship Hancock, Esst, of Boston; Washington, Donaldson. Providence; Eliza, Swaine, Boston; Betsy, Miller. New York; Lucy, Blanchard, Salem; Brig Neptune, Sigourney, Boston; Rose, Felt, Salem; Sloop Betsy, Gibbs, New York.
The ship Burang, Cooper of Philadelphia, failed in company, for Hamburg.
On the 7th inst. was boarded by the Europa of 50 guns, Adm. Wood, from Jamaica bound to England, having a fleet of 120 sail under convoy, lat. 35.45' N. long. 69.90' W.
10th, spoke brig Fame, of and from Philadelphia, bound to St. Bartholomew, out 36 hours, all well.
Cadiz, 6th May, 1795. Stranded, at the entrance of the harbour, the ship Mary of Boston, captain Stephen Ham, from Brett, with flour, beef, and pork. The greatest part of the cargo saved, but its proceeds will little more than pay the immense expenses with which the saving of it has been attended. The vessel will not fetch much. JOSEPH M. YZNARDI, Consul of the United States.

The story of a second voyage of the ship Polly, from Nantes, who, 'tis said, went on board the Sophia, from Leghorn, and had the particulars from Mr. Dixon, a passenger in said vessel. Since the arrival of the Sophia, the account is contradicted by Mr. Dixon, who says that he heard of no second engagement. Mr. Dixon, 'tis said, reports that the French Fleet, consisting of 22 sail of the line, had left Toulon, and that he heard a heavy cannonading as he passed Mimborea. The accuracy of Marine Intelligence may be judged of from the foregoing.
LONDON, May 11. At Oakhampton, in Devonshire, on Friday, the last market-day, the people insisted that beef and mutton should be sold at four pence halfpenny per pound, for which seven pence was asked; wheat at 6s. 6d. and 7s. which was charged at 10s. the bushel; butter at 8d. &c. &c. The Staffordshire militia were called out, when they all, to a man, joined the people, and, after taking possession of the whole market, sold off the whole at the above prices. The inhabitants are under great apprehension lest the farmers and butchers should not come again to their market, and there is noooter nearer than fifteen miles.
All the French journals, as well as all the private letters from France, state, that since the last decree concerning the freedom of religious worship, that of the Ancient Roman Catholic Religion is every where re-established; that the sacred vessels, buried under ground by pious hands, begin to re-appear; that books which contained the liturgy of the church, and which the former Vandals, under Robespierre, Herbert, &c. had condemned to the flames, are re-published; and that several Communes reclaimed their ancient churches, consecrated as national property by the Convention. In the sitting of the Convention of the 10th ult. the commune of Belleville laid a claim of this kind before that Assembly, which was neither granted nor rejected.
Legendre, the butcher. This sanguinary rosin, after being made a deputy to the National Convention, used generally to appear in his place, with those professional intrigues, his apron, his cleaver, and his steel, and distinguished himself en force by the barbarity and ferocity of his character. One day, hearing Manuel propose the affording some accommodation for the unhappy Louis XVI. then in prison, he moved that the Assembly should decree Manuel to be a madman . The proposition of course was treated with contempt, upon which Manuel gravely expressed his astonishment that the purport of Legendre's motion had not been to decree that he was an axe ! "For," said he, "you see how he is equipped, and had such a decree passed, he would naturally think himself authorised to lead me to the slaughter!"
Manuel, indeed, then escaped the block and cleaver of Legendre; but was soon after consigned to the guillotine, directed by the unerring hand of Samson.
The town of Aylesbury has of late been alarmed by the rising of the populace, in consequence of the high price of bread. A few days ago, a numerous mob, consisting chiefly of women, seized on all the wheat that came to market, and compelled the farmers, to whom it belonged, to accept of such prices as they thought proper to name.
From the MORNING CHRONICLE, May 30. It is a most curious and important fact, that the late insurrection in Paris was anticipated in London, and looked forward to with confidence of its success. Nay, it is said, that the motion of Mr. Wilberforce was purposely postponed until the accounts should arrive of the event! If this be true, we should only say that the cabbies, whose intrigues are to produce bloodshed, ought to be sure that blood will not be shed in vain. It is a horrible policy to promote massacres that are to be useless.
The very day that the Emperor issued an Ostroi for accepting of four millions of money from England, he published a proclamation that he was ready to make peace with France. There is certainly no inconsistency in this double dealing—he takes the money as king of Hungary, and makes peace as Emperor.
Ministers have not attempted to call in question either the authenticity or the sincerity of the Emperor's Rescript to the Diet of Ratisbon; but their partisans have hit upon a most notable solution of the difficulty, viz. That, after making peace with the French, as head of the Germanic body, he will continue the war as king of Hungary and Bohemia. This solution, if not invented, was as happily illustrated, by that great political and military genius, Mr. Jenkinson, as the facility of Colonel Mack's march to Paris last Session of Parliament.
BALTIMORE, July 11.
Nothing confirmative having yet reached us respecting the burning of Mr. Jay's effigy at Philadelphia; and as not the smallest intimation is given of it in any of the city prints, we are induced to believe that the report is void of foundation. The citizens of Philadelphia might, probably, have been much agitated on not finding all the advantages in the treaty which they had anticipated; yet a reflection that it is not yet the Supreme Law of the Land, must have arrested the execution of so hasty and anti-republican a measure: beside, their prudent and excellent police would not have permitted the licentious to make a footstool of the sovereignty of the people.

Charlotte a tale of truth—by Mrs. Rowson. of the new Theatre, Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the first edition of this entertaining novel, in a few months is the best criterion of its merit.]
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, April 1791, p. 468. "It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a School, from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity, or the regularity of her former conduct, is enticed from her governess, and accompanies a young officer to America—the marriage ceremony, if not forgotten, is postponed, and Charlotte dies a martyr to the inconstancy of her lover and treachery of his friend."
The situation are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed."
