Foreign Intelligence. LONDON, April 2. The following is an extract from the speech of Lemaitre in the council of Five Hundred, on the late discussion for restraining the liberty of the press, the argument of which will equally apply to other countries. "The liberty of the press is accused of depriving the government of the confidence which it so much needs. But how numerous are the means which the government possesses for counteracting its influence! I do not speak of the writers which it keeps in pay, and whose publications and panegyrics it circulates with so much complacency. It is powerful, by the constitution; it is, perhaps, two powerful, by the new privileges which you have been incessantly urged to bestow on it. Have you forgotten those twelve hundred thousand men which are placed under its immediate dependence; that habitual disposition of the soldier, to direct his attention and his affections towards the power by which he is paid, rather than towards a Senate, which is as a stranger towards him? Have we forgotten that innumerable multitude of military officers, of which the Directory have the disposal; and those administrators whom they depose at their pleasure? have we forgotten the Sixteen departments, which have been put in a siege without the concurrence of the Legislative Body, and consequently put out of the protection of the constitution, and rendered subject to no other law than the will of the Directory? I am far from suspecting the intentions of the members of government; but I know the human heart: All power leads to independence. Exempt them from the curb of a free and rigid Censor; and to all their other recently acquired powers, add the power of enslaving the press, and the Directory will soon draw the Legislative Body into its own sphere, like a planet which is lost in the immensity of the heavens. These considerations ought, at least, to balance the effect of those declamations, by which incessant attempts are made to fill us with alarm."
Mr. John Claudius Beresford, jun. the son of the celebrated Irish Commoner, was lately committed to a watch-house in Dublin, for various acts of rioting in the streets. A few days since, while Lady Mary Bentick, youngest daughter of the Duke of Portland, was attended by Mr. Zotti, her Italian master, a spark flew from the fire upon her muslin gown, which was instantly in a blaze: fortunately the carpet not being nailed to the floor, Mr. Zotti had the presence of mind to wrap it round Lady Mary, but not, however, before her gown, and the greatest part of her cloaths, had been entirely consumed. Mr. Zotti was confined some days in consequence of the injury he had received. The Austrians share of the late plunder of Poland includes 4415 square miles of territory, 207 towns, 4605 villages, and 1,106,178 souls. Informations are lodged against 5 private, and what are denominated three fashionable, gaming houses, in the parish of St. James's. The proprietor of one of these was a waiter about three years ago, and has since realised by Faro and other illegal games, 50,000l.
The ladies who keep gaming houses, have concerts at the same time. This is not merely to give a kind of sanction to the sport. It answers another purpose, to drown the cries of the sufferers. The practice is very common among the savages who make human sacrifices! LONDON, April 5. On Wednesday last came on the trial of Capt. Watson, of the Kingston Alizes, the gentleman who lately shot Major Sweetman, in a duel at Cobham, when there appearing no evidence to criminate him, he was immediately acquitted. Baron Hotham, with his accustomed humanity and politeness, paid every attention to the prisoner. This excellent judge, the mild ornament and pride of British justice, ordered the windows to be let down to admit the fresh air, and the grenadiers and approaches of the court to be carefully cleared of the mob, that the unfortunate young gentleman, who was brought on men's shoulders to the bar of the court, to be tried, might be every way accommodated. Sir Watkin William Wynne, Col. Du Batil, R. V. Perry, Esq. and many other respectable gentlemen attended Capt. Watson. The whole
court seemed much affected at the wounded and soon appearance of the prisoner. In a paper read this winter before the Royal Irish Academy, which will shortly be published, it has been proved by the evidence of Mr. Parrot, of Horehatch, that the Telegraph was invented by Mr. Edgeworth, nearly thirty years ago. It is described at length in that paper; and intelligence has actually been transmitted by it from the North of Ireland to G- Britain.
The following lines were written upon this occasion: Hark! from Basaltic Rocks, and Giant walls, To Britain's shores the glad Hibernia calls. Her voice no longer waits retarding tides, The meeting coasts no more the sea divides; Quick, at the voice of Fortune, or of Fame, Kindles from shore to shore the patriotic flame; Hovering in air each kindred genius smiles, And binds, with closer bands, the sister Isles. PARIS, 11 Germinal, April 1. A reform has just taken place in Jourdan's army, by the dismissal of 170 officers, who could neither read nor write.
General Pichegru has been at Paris these two days. On his arrival he wrote to the directory to demand an audience. The directory replied that they should be ready to receive him at all times, but that they were particularly happy to find that he could be at Paris during the celebration of the national festival on the 10th Germinal (March 30) because he must be sensible that the public would be pleased to see him there, and to express their gratitude to a general who had deserved so well of his country, by paving the way, by means of his victories, for a peace which the whole nation most ardently wished to conclude. We are assured that negotiations are now carrying on at Paris, with such activity as to give room to hope for a speedy result alike happy and advantageous. They even go so far as to say that, the day before yesterday the preliminaries were on the point of being signed between the directory and a charge d'affairs from the emperor, when a new diplomatic agent who arrived from Basle, vested with powers from the English government, started fresh difficulties, by joining in the negotiation. We quote reports, without vouching for their truth—L'Eclair of the 30th of March.
CADIZ, March 4. This place is in a state of commotion and phrenzy, with the presence of the royal family, who arrived two days ago from Seville. There are no bounds to their joy and exultation in having within their walls this superior order of beings. The balconies are hung with curtains; obelisks, statues and triumphal arches are erected; bands of music play in the squares; bull feasts are exhibited in the day, and illuminations at night. The people parade in their best clothes. The Monks decorate their convents with variegated lamps, and forsake their cells to join in the Carnival. The men of war in the Bay, Richery's and all, fire royal salutes, and make a fine new show with their flags displayed. The royal party went on board the Santissima Trinidad, of 132 guns, the four decker, from whence they viewed a very pretty sham sea fight in the Bay.
LONDON, April 7. It was generally understood yesterday that Mr. Pitt is to bring down some papers of information to Parliament, on the present state of things, within a few days. Whether it is to be a message from the king, a manifesto to Europe, a copy of the terms he has offered for a pacification, or the answer of the French Directory, we know not; but it is looked for and anticipated on the stock exchange.
STATE PAPER. Proclamation of the Dutch National Convention, for manning the Navy; published at the Hague, March 16. Citizens of the Netherlands. Dear Countrymen, THE unjust and destructive War in which we have been involved by the British ministry, cannot but attract our whole attention. It is the first object of our solicitude, that by our courage and prudence in the conduct of it, we may procure an honourable peace, firmly establish our freedom, and maintain the independence of our state, and the glory of our ancestors. Our navy, under Divine Providence, is the natural and only means to fetter the immeasurable insolence of the British ministry, and to defend our country against their treacherous conduct and cruel treatment. To this object the endeavours of the best Patriots have been uniformly directed since the time when our heavy chains were broken by the assistance of our French brethren, since the day when the Stadholder left the Batavian shores, the day when we began to breathe a free air, and were at liberty to exert ourselves for the improvement of the great sources of our prosperity, our trade, our fisheries, our navigation, our colonies, and our manufactures. By their Navy, fellow citizens, did our ancestors become great. The Batavian flag was known, feared, and honoured in each of the four quarters of the world. Under our late government it was insulted, and became the ridicule of nations. It is therefore our first duty to restore our Marine. The zeal of the committee of marine has done much, where nothing scarcely had before been done. Its exertions were incessant. But in the present state of our Navy, all hands seem to have lost the habits, and all hearts the inclination necessary for the service. The Batavian youth are no longer accustomed to the labours requisite on board the armed fleets of their country. Is our nation then less brave, less indignant against its enemies, or do we less love our land, than in the time of a Ruyter or a Tromp? No Fellow Citizens, no! Far from us be such a thought! We rely with confidence on your patriotism, and cannot doubt but you will act with vigour in the present critical situation of our country. For why should we conceal that such is our situation, when to make it known must procure the remedy. Our ships, which are very numerous, and more than sufficient to secure us a superiority in our seas, and to cut off from the enemy all supplies of provisions and stores from the North, and thus compel them to peace—our ships are in want of men. The re-
cruitings proceed with languor, and the measures hitherto taken have had little effect. Nor should this excite our wonder: they were of a partial nature, and not in consequence of the expression of the will of the assembly, representative of the whole Batavian republic. This will is now made known: supported by you it shall deliver our country. Let the people be called together in all the towns and villages of the Netherlands: Let the example of Haarlem be proposed to them; that town to zeal for liberty, that it has already raised two hundred young men for the Navy. Let all the constituted authorities remind the Batavian youth, that their country looks up to them for her defence; they will not be deaf to her call. The time of oppression is past. The fleet of the Republic is under the command of true Patriots, who do not consider their comrades as slaves, but as fellow citizens. The attention of the representatives of the people will be continually directed to provide for the wants of the mariner, and they will consider the rewarding of heroism and faithful service as the most pleasing part of their great labours. Let therefore fathers exhort their sons, sisters, their brothers, and the people in general the youth of the country, to acts of heroism, and to engage in the naval service, to maintain the honour of the Batavian flag, and defend their native land. When they shall thus nobly have fulfilled their duty, they will find their reward in our tender care for them and their relatives, in the approbation of every noble mind, and the congratulations and gratitude of all their countrymen. VAN DE CASTEELE.
THE PROPAGATION OF A LIE. To the Managers of the Telegraph. Gentlemen, IN my way to town last Thursday, I was very agreeably surprised with intelligence of peace, and as disagreeably disappointed to find that this was only a flying report. In what manner it flew, I am now about to state to you, as a caution to all country gentlemen, who, like myself, have more credulity than wisdom, and more hope than patience.
Precisely forty yards and one foot and a half beyond the second mile stone on the Hummelbach road, I was informed, from undoubted authority, that articles of peace had arrived. I exactly opposite the Serpentine river, I learned that the crooked politics of the Prussian court had been defeated by that woman of great depth, the Empress of Russia. By the time I reached the turnpike at Hyde Park corner, a negotiation had taken place at Basle. Farther on, in Piccadilly, the French were willing to agree to our terms. Near Burlington house, a poor crazy man, with a coat that looked as if it had been turned, talked something about indemnity, which I could not very well understand. In the Haymarket I understood that the contractors for horses had been discontinued; and in the Strand, we were to receive Corsica and the Cape, two of the most valuable places in the world. Coming thro' Butcher row, I was told that our successes under the gallant Pichegru, had inclined the French to listen to terms. At Temple-Bar, I was happy to hear, there was to be an extraordinary meeting of the privy council, to lay their heads together in order to forward a peace. In Cheapside, the terms were actually signed; and in the Poultry, the Lord Mayor had received a letter from the secretary of state; but upon enquiry, neither he nor his barber nor any other damned honest fellow knew any thing about the matter. At the Bank I found that stocks were rising without the help of money; and at the stock exchange, they would give me no satisfaction, unless I would say whether I was a bull or a bear. Beyond this, nothing was to be learned respecting peace. In Leadenhall street, the consideration was the house list, or an open election, and in my attempts farther eastward, I tumbled into one of the new docks, and there, I suppose, I lost the peace, nor can I learn that any body has found it. I am, Gentlemen, yours SIMON SEARCH.
CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Monday, May 30. On motion of Mr. W. Smith, the resolution of the Senate, communicating the time of the adjournment of the two houses, relative to the adjournment of the two houses on Wednesday next, was taken up and agreed to, and a committee appointed to join a committee from the Senate to notify the President of the United States, that the two houses intended to adjourn on Wednesday next. (Mr. Bourne observed that a motion had already been made, and required by a division of the house, appointing a committee to bring in a bill for altering the time of meeting of the next session of Congress. He believed the business which would call the attention of the House in their next session, could not be got through betwixt the first Monday in December and the third of March; particularly as they then should have to determine upon some particular mode of taxation, in order to meet the necessary expenses of government. He therefore proposed to postpone the following resolution: "Resolved that a committee be appointed to report a bill for altering the time of meeting of next session of Congress." This resolution was opposed by Messrs. Nicholas, Madison and Mason, and advocated by Messrs. Bourne, W. Smith, Thatcher, Williams, Claiborne and Rutherford. It was carried, there being a majority of 15 in favor of it. A bill was afterwards reported, twice read, and ordered to be engrossed for a third reading today. It afterwards received its third reading and passed. The time of meeting for the next session, was fixed on the first of November. The bill entitled an act for the admission of the state of Tennessee into the union, for this is the amended title of the bill) was read the third time and passed. Mr. W. Smith presented a petition from An. Sowerfall and Son, and John Price of Charleston, praying the interference of government on account of a sloop laden with produce from the West-Indies to the amount of 20,000 dollars, which had been taken and carried into Bermuda by a British privateer, and condemned, though the strongest evidence

was adduced of her being American property. One of the arguments used by the counsel for condemning the prize was, that Mr. Somersall, one of the owners, was born under the British flag! The petition and accompanying papers were referred to the secretary of State.
Mr. W. Smith from the committee of Ways and Means, to whom was referred the message of the President relative to additional appropriations necessary for foreign correspondence, reported the following resolution:
Resolved, that a further sum of 23,500 dollars be appropriated for the expenses of foreign intercourse for the year 1796."
A bill making further appropriations for the year 1796. The bill and resolution were read a second time, and committed to a committee of the whole to day.
The house went into a committee of the whole, Mr. Smith in the chair, on the bill making appropriations for the military and naval establishments. When, after considerable debate upon some of the articles (which debate will appear in its order,) the following items were agreed upon for the establishment for the year 1796.
   Dollars.     For the subsistence of the officers of the army, 45,606   Ditto of non commissioned officers and privates, 300,000   For forage, 16,592   For clothing, 70,000   For horses for the cavalry, 7,500   For bounties, 10,000   For the hospital department, 30,000   For the ordnance department, 40,000   For the Indian department, 60,000   For the quarter master's department, 200,000   For the contingencies of the war department 30,000   For the defence and protection of the frontiers, 130,000   For the fortifications, barracks, &c. at West Point 20,000   For the pay and subsistence of three captains in the naval department, 5,000   For military pensions, 114,259   Total 1078,957  
The bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to morrow.
A communication was received from the President informing the house that he had approved and signed an act for the relief of Sylvanus Bourne; an act providing for the expense attending intercourse with foreign nations; and an act regulating the military establishment of the United States.
A communication was received from the Senate, informing the house that they had resolved that the bill authorizing the President to locate a mile square of land at the mouth of the great Miami river, on which to erect Fort Washington; the bill for the relief of Baron Steuben; and the bill for the relief of John Sears, do not pass.
The Senate's amendments to the bill for providing passports for ships and vessels of the United States were taken up and agreed to.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill for suspending the tax on snuff were taken up, and disagreed to. The house insisted in favor of them. They went to a re-committee of the whole, and instead of allowing 6 cents per pound drawback, to allow 1-2 cent per lb.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill regulating the grants of land appropriated for military services, &c. were taken up. They were, on motion, referred to a select committee, who afterwards made a report, recommending it to the house to agree to all the amendments, except the last. The amendments agreed to, went to change the plat of land to be appropriated. The amendment disagreed to, was one which went to the striking out of the clause allowing those officers and soldiers who have already located their warrants in a certain district of country, to remain upon the land so located and improved.
Mr. Venable from the committee appointed to confer with the Senate, on the subject of disagreement between the two houses, on the bill for suspending the tax on snuff reported that the Senate had receded from their amendments.
The amendments of the Senate to the bill for defraying the expenses of trials during the late insurrection, for regulating the allowance to witnesses, jurors, &c. were read and agreed to. The Senate struck out the marshal and the clause relative to the district attorney of Kentucky, and struck one dollar out for an additional allowance per day to witnesses, and inserted 50 cents.
The amendment of the Senate to the bill limiting the time for allowing a drawback on domestic spirits, &c. were agreed to.
The disagreement of the Senate to a part of the bill for admitting the state of Tennessee in the union was read. The house insisted upon their amendment, and a committee of conference was appointed.
On motion of Mr. W. Smith, the house formed itself into a committee of the whole, Mr. Smith in the chair, on the bill making further appropriations for the year 1796; to which Mr. W. Smith moved to add a new section, containing an additional appropriation of 23,500 dollars, agreeably to the message of the President. This section occasioned considerable debate. It appears that 18,000 dollars of this sum is wanted on account of the appointment of 2 ministers plenipotentiary, instead of ministers resident to the courts of Spain and London, which was supported on the ground of etiquette; for, it was said though such distinctions were thought trifling and ridiculous, they were in the courts of Europe very necessary to be attended to. This measure was opposed by Messrs. Gaildin and Nicholas, and defended by Messrs. W. Smith and Harper. On the question being put, there appeared 48 members for the appropriation and 43 against it; when the chairman determined the question in the affirmative.
The committee rose and reported the bill; and two motions being made, the one for taking up the consideration of the amendment, and the other for adjournment, the latter prevailed.
Adjourned.
TUESDAY, May 31.
The bill making appropriations for the support of the military and naval establishments of 1796 was read the third time and passed.
An amendment of the Senate to the bill for preventing the sale of prizes in the ports of the United States, was read. It was to insert words to this effect at the end of the first section, "provided, that nothing in this law shall operate against any existing treaty." The consideration of this amendment was not gone into, but a motion was made by Mr. Venable and supported by Messrs. Madison, Gallatin, Giles, Swanwick, Nicholas, and W. Lyman, to postpone the consideration of this bill till the 1st of November next, on the ground that the measure was not necessary, that the cause assigned for it, the probability of a war between Great Britain and Spain, was not likely to happen, and that as it approached very nearly to an encroachment upon existing treaties, it might give offence to some of the belligerent powers with whom they desired to be on good terms. The postponement was opposed by Messrs. Bourne and Sitgreaves; W. Smith and Gilbert, insisting that the bill was a necessary and prudent measure, in order to guard against the contingency above mentioned, and having already determined to pass the bill, the amendment from the Senate making no difference in the principle, they trusted the house would not be so vacillate as now to postpone it. It was, however, agreed to be postponed. The ayes and noes being taken, on motion of Mr. W. Smith, were as follows:
A Y E S.
Messrs. Bailey, Baldwin, Baird, Benton, Blount, Bryan, Burgess, Claiborne, Coles, Earle, Findlay, Gallatin, Giles, Gillespie, Greenup, Hampton, Hancock, Harrison, Hathorn, Havens, Holland, Hister, Jackson, W. Lyman, Maclay, Madison, Milledge, Moore, Muhlenberg, New, Nicholas, Richards, Rutherford, Israel Smith, R. Sprigg, jun. Swanwick, Tatom, Van Cortlandt, Venable, Winn —40.

Lyman, Macdon, Mahone, Read, Sitgreaves, Jer. Smith, N. Smith, Isaac Smith, W. Smith, T. Sprigg, Swift, Thatcher, Thompson, Thomas, Tracy, Van Alen, Williams —34.
The Senate, by message, informed the House, that they insisted upon their amendment to the bill regulating grants of land for military services. Mr. Sitgreaves moved that the House insist upon their disagreement, and a motion was made to recede, and carried 33 to 27.
The Senate's amendments to the bill for relief of distillers in certain cases, were read and agreed to.
The house took up the consideration of the bill, yesterday discussed in a committee of the whole, providing additional sums for foreign intercourse, when a considerable discussion took place on the propriety of granting the additional 23,000 dollars required by the President in his late message. The motion for the additional sum was again objected to, but the house insisted on it as necessary, and that the President, whose province it was to appraise the value of the different objects, was the proper person to be done in that respect, than any member of the house. After a pretty long debate, on motion of Mr. W. Smith, the ayes and noes were taken as follows: — ayes 49, noes 39.
A Y E S.
Messrs. Ames, Bourne, Brent, Burgess, Cooper, Dent, Findlay, A. Foster, D. Foster, Gilbert, Gilman, Glenn, Goodrich, Griswold, Grove, Heath, Henderson, Hindman, S. Lyman, Mahone, Muhlenberg, Murray, Preston, Read, Richards, Sitgreaves, Jer. Smith, N. Smith, Isaac Smith, Wm. Smith, Swift, Thatcher, Thomas, Thompson, Tracy, Van Alen, Van Cortlandt, Wadsworth, Williams —39.
N O Y S.
Messrs. Benton, Bryan, Coit, Earle, Gallatin, Gillespie, Hampton, Harrison, Hathorn, Havens, Heister, Holland, Jackson, Locke, Maclay, Macon, Milledge, New, Nicholas, Israel Smith, R. Sprigg, jun. T. Sprigg, Tatom, Venable, Winn —25.
The bill was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, which it afterwards received and passed.
The house again resumed the consideration of the report of the committee of elections, to whom was recommitted the petition of Matthew Lyon, complaining of an undue election and return of Israel Smith to serve as a member of that house. The report (which had twice before been under consideration, but no conclusion come to upon it) was in the following words:
"That it appears by the deposition of the town clerk of Hancock, that there were seventeen persons in the said town, who were entitled to vote; twelve of whom are stated to have been admitted in that town, and five in other towns."
"That by a like deposition of the clerk of Kingston it appears, that there were in that town, nineteen persons; seventeen of whom had been qualified in that town, and two, in other towns."
"That it does not appear, that the warrants were withheld from the said towns by the sheriff, from any fraudulent intention; but the failure was accidental, as to the town of Kingston; and the warrant was not sent to the town of Hancock, because the sheriff believed they had not voted at the first meeting."
And when the report was first under consideration it was amended by adding a resolution to the following effect:
"That as there appears to have been a sufficient number of qualified voters in the towns of Hancock and Kingston, to have changed the state of the election, resolved, that Israel Smith was not duly elected, and is not entitled to this seat in this house."
This report occasioned considerable debate. It was defended by Messrs. Harper, Sitgreaves, W. Smith, and N. Smith, principally on the ground that the votes were sufficient in the above two towns to have changed the election, if they had voted for the petitioner, and on the necessity of establishing it as a principle in elections, that every town should have notice of an election. It was opposed by Messrs.
Venable (the chairman of the committee of elections) Galatin, Nicholas, Giles, W. Lyman and Findlay. They admitted the possibility, but denied the probability that the 36 voters, in these two towns, would have changed the state of the election. They said there was every reason to believe the contrary, that Mr. Smith had a majority of 21 votes, that 15 of the voters in Hancock and Kingston had voted for Mr. Smith, at the former election; that Mr. Lyon, with all his endeavors to procure them, had only brought forward a petition from 20 of these persons, who declared they would have voted for him, if they had done, and none had voted for Mr. Smith, he would still have had a majority of 1 vote; but there were affidavits from seven of these voters, declaring they would have voted for the sitting member; seven others of them refused to take any part in the dispute, and two of the voters were absent at the time of election, and could not have voted either way. The vote was at length taken on motion of Mr. Wm. Smith, by yeas and nays as follows.
A Y E S.
Messrs. Bourne, Coit, Dent, Earle, A. Foster, D. Foster, Gilbert, Glenn, Goodrich, Griswold, Harper, Hindman, Kirkeby, Locke, S. Lyman, Read, Sitgreaves, Jer. Smith, N. Smith, Isaac Smith, W. Smith, Swift, Thatcher, Thompson, Thomas, Tracy, Van Alen, Wadsworth —28.

BERMUDA, May 14.
Tuesday morning arrived his majesty's sloop of war Spencer, Capt. Evans, from a cruise; she fell in with a French national corvette Le Volcan, commanded by citizen Bremond (of Guadalupe) but left from Charleston, of 12 guns and near an hundred men, and after an engagement of three glasses, took her. The corvette had upwards of twenty men killed and wounded. The Spencer had one killed and one wounded. Great praise is due to the few officers and crew of the Spencer, there being only 40 hands on board in the whole.
Philadelphia, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 1796.
NEW-THEATRE.
A friend of Drama hopes that the liberal degree of patronage which those performers have experienced since their arrival here, will extend to Mrs. Shaw, whose benefit is fixed for this evening.
In her line of acting, which is a respectable one, her abilities stand confessed; her industry in studying her parts is not exceeded by any of the company. In addition to these claims on the public favor, the performers have strong assurances for all who possess a just taste for the drama. There are few pieces in the English language that excel Mrs. Centlivre's Busy Body, or in the opinion of the public, surpassing incident and dexterity of getting humour. Colman's Marplot is equal to any character in the extensive line of acting.
The comic opera of the Manxman Wanderers, has been highly justly admired in the English theatres; there is therefore every reason to hope that the theatre this evening will exhibit such an appearance as will reward the merits and taste of the actors and evince the liberality of the public.
The Minerva of New-York states that the latest accounts from St. Bartholomew's Bay, that St. Lucia is in possession of the English.
The Hon. Jonathan Trumbull of Connecticut, has accepted the office of Lieut. Governor, and his seat in the Senate of the United States will be resigned.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
NEW-YORK, May 31.
Yesterday arrived at this port in 11 days from Cape-Francis, the French private Infurgent, Capt. Vivier, of 36 guns.
We have the pleasure to announce to the public, that a considerable French naval force has arrived at Cape-Francis, authentic particulars of which we are promised for to-morrow's Argus.
The following are the conditions of Capitulation agreed on between the commanders of the British armament, and the government of Demerara, on its surrender the 22d of April last, received by the ship Sally, Captain Lathrop, arrived on Sunday, and translated from the Dutch language, for the Daily Advertiser.
WE, the Governor and Inhabitants, convened in Council of the Colony of Essequibo and Demerara, make known to all it may concern, That we have this day received from his Excellency General White and the seafaring commander Porty, commander of the navy of his Britannic Majesty, in this river, of the force now moored in this harbour, as well as those vessels which are not arrived, a summons to deliver the Island to the same power and to subject ourselves in friendship and tranquility to the government of his Majesty on the terms prescribed, viz.
That the inhabitants shall be entitled to perfect safety for their persons, free religion, with liberty to keep possession of all their property as well by water as by land, excepting those who shall appear to remain subject to the inhabitants of the Republic of France. Further, on the laws and customs of such laws as might have been made previous to the surrender of the Colony to the government of his Majesty, every thing, nevertheless, upon the most liberal and generous terms.
That if it should so happen, that the Colony, in case of a general peace, should remain under British Government, the same Island in that situation shall enjoy such commercial rights and advantages which are allowed in the British Colonies in the West Indies. With respect to the military and naval forces, that the officers and privates of the land forces, if it is agreeable to them, shall be received in British service with liberty on restoration of the
Prince of Orange, to re-enter into his service. Every officer and private, after taking the oath of allegiance to serve his Britannic Majesty, to be employed where it may be necessary, shall receive the sum of one hundred guilders.
The officers will, under those conditions, receive leave of absence for two hundred days, with their baggage and travelling money, the same as is allowed to British officers; officers, the officers and privates of the marine cannot be taken into British service until his majesty's pleasure be known; but they shall be entitled to receive their pay agreeable to their rank, and enjoy every facility which can be afforded them. That the Governor and every civil officer after the oath of allegiance to his majesty shall be taken, shall have the liberty if they choose, in their respective situations, except those who have given proofs of partiality to the Republic of France.
The Governor only relinquishing the military command; should these liberal terms be refused, the Governor, counsel, and any one concerned, shall become answerable for the consequences, unless an immediate attack takes place by way of the land and sea forces, in such a manner as to render every resistance fruitless, Major General White and Capt. Parr, gave the Governor one hour's time and no longer, after rendering this instrument to accept or to refuse.
And, as we, to the welfare of ourselves generally in this colony could not refuse to accept it, we have under the benefits of it, after mature deliberation, resolved to deliver up the colonies and subject to the aforesaid authority, and by representation communicated the same to the British commander in chief. Having thought it our duty to inform all our inhabitants of this publication, with request to submit themselves to it for the welfare of these colonies. As the same are as usual, will be published in both cities legally and sent for perusal.

B. To favour those who may take a quantity of Tickets, the prize of 40,000 dollars will be the last drawn ticket, and the 30,000 the last but one: And approved notes, securing payment in either money or prizes, in ten days after drawing, will be received for any number not less than 30 tickets. This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings it is proposed to erect two centrepiece four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this lottery is sold, and to convey them, when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the city of Washington. The Drawing will commence as soon as the tickets are sold off.—The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished; and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed, are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University; it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing, and to take up the bonds given as security. The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, (and are valued at more than half the amount of the lottery). The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
