FROM the following Extracts the Public will be enabled to form a judgment of this work. "A man that has been an officer in the Navy, whose immediate ancestors have been separated from the Jews for such a considerable length of time as to make them forget they ever belonged to the name, such a man declaring himself openly to the world a prophet of God, the revealed prince allotted to order the sudden return of the Hebrews from all nations, and govern them in the land of Israel, will, with some reason I allow, excite both astonishment and doubt; but from the multiplied recorded testimonies I produce, which no other on earth can, it ought not to prevail with any person as a just objection against believing what I write." "The prophet Daniel, chapter 8, verse 8. And four great beasts came up from the sea, different from one another. 4. The first was like a Lion, and it had Eagle's wings: I beheld 'till the wings were plucked, when it was lifted up on the Earth, and made to stand on the feet as a man: and a man's heart was given to it." "The Lion means George the Third, the present King of England: plucking the wings of the Lion, means taking away the power of the king: made to stand on the feet as a man, with a man's heart, means his reduction to the condition of other men, and possessing similar thoughts." "The SPANISH MONARCHY will cease by this war, and the STADTHOLDERSHIP of HOLLAND will be cut off close to the ground; according to the visions of god to me, in 1792, and which I communicated at that time, by his sacred command, to the King and Queen of England." "The DUTCH will acknowledge the French Republic, and make a hasty peace with it; the PORTUGUESE and PRUSSIANS will do the same." "The UNITED STATES of AMERICA will declare war against England; but before they do, France will lose all her West India Islands; and after they do, Jamaica will be the last in the possession of the English." August 12.

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 centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is lost, 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, will be added to the drawing as soon as it is 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. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its confirmation. A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America. 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 mere suspension indispensable.

ONE of the particulars, in which our envoy is alleged to have fallen short of what might and ought to have been done, respects the time for the surrender of the Western Posts. It is alleged that there ought either to have been an immediate surrender, or some guarantee or surety for the performance of the new promise. Both parts of the alternative presuppose that Great Britain was to have no will upon the subject; that no circumstances of security or convenience to her were to be consulted; that our envoy was not to negotiate but to command. How unfounded the foundation on which this course of proceeding is recommended has been already developed.

How unfounded the foundation on which this course of proceeding is recommended has been already developed.
The fact was, that our envoy pressed an early evacuation of the Posts; but there was an inflexible adherence on the other side to the term limited in the treaty. The reasons understood to have been assigned for it, were to this effect: (viz.) That according to the course of the Indian trade, it was customary to spread through the nations, goods to a large amount, the returns for which could not be drawn into Canada, in a shorter period than was proposed to be fixed for the evacuation; that the impression which the surrender of all the Posts to American garrisons might make on the minds of the Indians, could not be foreseen; that there was the greater reason for caution, as on a former occasion it had been intimated to them by public agents of the United States, that they had been forsaken and given up by the British government; that the protection promised on our part however sincere and however competent in other respects, might not be sufficient in the first instance to prevent the embarrassment which might ensue; that for these reasons the traders ought to have time to conclude their adventures, which were predicated upon the existing state of things; that they would in future calculate upon the new state of things, but that in the mean time the care of government ought not to be withdrawn from them.

There is ground to believe that there were representations on behalf of the Canada traders, alleging a longer term than that which was adopted in the treaty, as necessary to wind up and adapt their arrangements to the new state of things; and that the term suggested by them was abridged several months. And it may not be useless to observe, as explanatory of the reasons given, that in fact it is the course of the trade to give long credit to the Indians, and that the returns for goods furnished in one year only, come in the next.

What was to be done in this case? Was the negotiation to break off, or was the delay to be admitted? The last was preferred by our envoy, and the preference was rightly judged.

The consequence of breaking off the negotiation has been stated. No reasonable man will doubt that delay was preferable to war, if there be good ground of reliance, that the stipulation will be fulfilled at the appointed time. Let us calmly examine this point.

The argument against it is drawn from the breach of the former promise. To be authorized to press this argument, we ought to be sure that all was right on our part. After what has been offered on this subject, are we still convinced that this was the case? Are we able to say that there was nothing in our conduct which furnished a ground for that of Great Britain? Has it not been shown to be a fact, that, from the arrival of the provisional articles in this country, till after the ratification here of the definitive treaty, acts of state interdicted the recovery of British debts and other acts militating against the treaty, continued in operation? Can we doubt that subjects of Great Britain, affected by these acts, carried complaints to the ears of their government? Can we wonder if they made serious impressions there, if they produced dissatisfaction and distrust? It is very extraordinary if they excited the idea of detaining the posts as a pledge, till there were better indications on our part? Is it surprising if the continuance of these acts and the addition of others which were new and positive breaches of the treaty, prolonged the detention of the Posts?

In fine, was the delay in surrendering so entirely destitute of cause, so unequivocal a proof of a perfidious character, as to justify the conclusion, that no future dependance can be made on the promises of the British government? Discerning men will not hastily subscribe to this conclusion.

Mutual charges of breach of faith are not uncommon between nations; yet this does not prevent their making new stipulations with each other, and relying upon their performance. The argument from the breach of one promise, if real, to the breach of every other, is not supported by experience, and if adopted as a general rule would multiply, infinitely the impediments to accord and agreement among nations.

The truth is, that though nations will too often evade their promises on colourable pretences, yet few are so profligate as to do it without such pretences. In clear cases, self interest dictates a regard to the obligations of good faith; nor is there any thing in the history of Great Britain which warrants the opinion that she is more unmindful than other nations of her character for good faith.

Yet she must be so, and in an extreme degree, if she be capable of breaking, without real cause, a second promise on the same point, after the termination by a new treaty of an old dispute concerning it, and this too on the basis of mutual reparation. It would indicate a deflection of principle, a contempt of character, much beyond the usual measure, and to an extent which it may be affirmed is entirely improbable.

It is a circumstance of some moment in the question that the second promise is free from the vagueness of the first, as to the time of execution. It is not to be performed with all convenient speed, but by a day certain, which cannot be exceeded. This would give point to violation and render it unequivocal.

Another argument against the probability of performance has been deduced from the supposed deficiency of good reasons for the delay, which is represented as evidence of want of sincerity in the promise.

Besides the reasons which were assigned for that
Besides the reasons which were assigned for that
delay, there are others that may be conjectured to have operated, which it would not have been equally convenient to avow, but which serve to explain the delay different from the supposition of its having been calculated for ultimate evasion. If, as we have with too much cause suspected, Great Britain, or her Representative in Canada, whether with or without orders, has really countenanced the hostilities of the Western Indians, it was to be expected that she should think it incumbent upon her to give them sufficient time to make peace before an evacuation of the Posts should put them entirely in our power. She might otherwise have provoked them to hostilities against her own settlements, and have kindled in their minds, inextinguishable resentments. It was not certain how soon a peace could be brought about, and it might be supposed, that the disposition to it on our part might be weakened or strengthened by the proximity or remoteness of the period of the surrender. Moreover some considerable time might be requisite to prepare those establishments for the security of Canada, which the relinquishment of the Posts on our side would be deemed to render necessary.

The latter motive is one, not justly objectionable: the former implies an embarrassment resulting from a culpable policy, which was entitled to no indulgence from us, but which, nevertheless, must have had a pretty impetuous influence on the conduct of the other party, and must have created an obstacle to a speedy surrender not easy to be surmounted. Taken together, we find in the reasons assigned, and in those which may be presumed to have operated, a solution of the pertinacity of Great Britain on the subject of time, without impeaching on that account, the sincerity of the promise to surrender.

But we have very strong holds for the performance of this promise upon the interest of Great Britain. 1st. The interest which every nation has in not entirely forfeiting its reputation for honour and fidelity. 2d. The interest which results from the correlative stipulation with regard to the indemnification for the British debts, a point upon which there will be no inconsiderable mercantile sensibility. 3d. The interest of preserving peace with this country, the interruption of which, after all that has passed, could not fail to attend the non-surrender of the posts at the stipulated time.

It is morally certain that circumstances will every day add strength to this last motive. Time has already done much for us, and will do more. Every hour's continuance of the war in Europe must necessarily add to the inconveniences of a rupture with this country, and to the motives which Great Britain must feel to avoid an increase of the number of her enemies, to desire peace, and if obtained to preserve it.

The enemies of the treaty, upon their own calculations, can hardly dispute, that if the war continues another year after the present, the probable situation of Great Britain will be a complete security for her compliance with her promise to surrender the posts. But let us suppose that a general peace takes place in Europe this winter, what may then be the disposition of Great Britain in June next, as to war or peace with this country?

I answer, that the situation will be of all others that which is most likely to indispose her to a war with us. There is no juncture at which war is more unwelcome to a nation, than immediately after the experience of another war, which has required great exertions, and has been expensive, bloody and calamitous. The minds of all men then dread the renewal of so great an evil, and are disposed rather to make sacrifices to peace than to plunge afresh into hostilities. The situation of Great Britain at the end of the war in which she is now engaged, is likely to be the most discouraging that can be imagined to the provocation of new wars. Here we may discover a powerful security for the performance of other stipulations.

As to the idea of a guarantee or surety for the fulfilment of the promise, it cannot be seriously believed that it was obtainable. It would have been an admission of the party, that there was a well-founded distrust of its faith. To consent to it, therefore, would have been to subscribe to its own humiliation and disgrace, the expectation of which has been shown to be ridiculous.

But why was there not good reason that we should give a guarantee or surety for the performance of our new promise with regard to the debts? And if there was to have been reciprocity, where should we have conveniently found that guarantee or surety? Should we have thought it very reputable to ourselves to have been obliged to furnish it?

The arguments of the opposers of the treaty are extremely at variance with each other. On the one hand they represent it as fraught with advantages to Great Britain, without equivalents to the United States—as a premeditated scheme to sacrifice our trade and navigation to her's—as a plan dictated by her for drawing the two countries into close connection and alliance, and for making our interests subservient to her's. On the other hand, they tell us, that there is no security for the surrender of the posts, according to stipulation. How is the one thing to be reconciled with the other? If the treaty is such an immense boon to Great Britain, if it be such a master-piece of political craft on her side, can there be any danger that she will destroy her favorite work, by not performing the conditions on which its efficacy and duration must depend? There is no position better settled, than that the breach of any article of a treaty by one party, gives the other an option to consider the whole treaty as annulled. Would Great Britain give us this option, in a case in which she had so much to lose by doing it?

This glaring collision of arguments proves how superficially the adversaries of the treaty have considered the subject, and how little reliance can be placed on the views they give of it.

Two other particulars, in which this part of the treaty is supposed to be defective, regard the want of indemnification for the detention of the posts, & for the expenses of Indian wars.

Those who make the objection, may be safely challenged to produce precedents of similar indemnifications, under imposed by conquering powers on the vanquished, or by powers of overbearing strength upon those which were too weak to dispute the logic of superior force. If this were the relative situation of the United States and Great Britain, then is the treaty inexcusably faulty; but if the parties were to treat and agree as equal powers, then is the pretension extravagant and impracticable. The restitution of the specific thing detained, is all that was to be expected, and, it may be added, it is all that was ever really expected on the part of this country, so far as we may reason either from official acts or informal expressions of the public opinion.

In cases where clear injuries are done, affecting objects of known or easily ascertainable values, pecuniary compensation may be expected to be obtained by negotiation; but it is believed that it will be impossible to cite an example of such compensation so obtained, in a case in which territory has been withheld on a dispute of title, or as a hostage for some other claim (as in the present instance, for securing the performance of the 4th article of the treaty of peace.) The recovery of the territory withheld is the usual satisfaction.

The want of a rule to adjust consequential damages, is, in such cases, a very great difficulty. In the instance under discussion, this difficulty would be peculiarly great. The posts are, for the most part, in a wilderness. There are but two of them which have any adjacent settlements: Point-au-barre, or Dutchman's Point, to one of which a part of a tract of land, called Caldwell's Manor, with a few inhabitants, has been claimed as appurtenant; Detroit, which has a settlement in the town and neighbourhood of between two and three thousand souls. In the vicinity of the other posts, on our side, there is scarcely an inhabitant. It follows, that very little damage could be predicated either upon the loss of revenue from, or of the profits of trade with the settlements in the vicinity of the posts. The trade of the Indians within our limits would consequently be the basis of the claim of compensation. But here the ignorance or spirit of exaggeration of the opponents of the treaty has been particularly exemplified. The annual loss from this source has been stated, by a very zealous writer against the treaty, who signs himself Cato, at 800,000 dollars.

Now it is a fact well ascertained, that the mean value of the whole exports from Canada in peltries, (which constitute the returns of Indian trade) in the years 1786 and 1787, was something short of 800,000 dollars. It is also a fact, in which all men informed on the subject agree, that the trade with the Indians, within our limits*, is not more than about one-eighth of that which furnishes the peltry exported from Canada. Hence the total product of our Indian trade could not be computed at more than 100,000 dollars. What proportion of this may be profit, is not easy to be determined; but it is certain, that the profits of that trade, from the decrease of wild animals, and the inferiority of their kinds, are not considerable. Many assert, that it is scarcely any longer worth following. Twenty per cent. therefore, would probably be a large allowance, which would bring the loss on our Indian trade, by the detention of the posts, to about 20,000, instead of 800,000 dollars per ann. as has been asserted.

But might not a claim, even of this sum, by way of indemnification, be encountered, with some force, by the observation, that there is the highest probability that the capital and labor which would have been employed to produce 20,000 dollars profit on the trade with the Indians, have been quite as productively employed in other channels, and, consequently, that there may have been no loss at all?

Thus we see how erroneous the data which serve to magnify claims in themselves insignificant, and which, from the great uncertainty of their quantum, are exposed to serious objections. Are claims like these proper subjects on which to stake the peace of the United States?

The reasonableness of indemnification for the expenses of Indian wars, independent of the unusual nature of the claim, might have been matter of endless debate. We might have been told, that the Indians ascribe those wars to pretensions upon their lands, by virtue of treaties with the former government of the United States, imposed by violence, or contracted with partial and inadequate representations of their nation—that our own public records witness, that the proceedings of our agents, at some of those treaties, were far from unexceptionable—that the wars complained of are to be attributed to errors in our former policy, or mismanage-

ment of our public agents, not the detention of the posts—that it must be problematical how much of the duration or expenses of those wars are chargeable upon that detention, and, that the posts having been detained by way of security for the performance of the article respecting debts, there was no responsibility for collateral and casual damages. Had we resorted to the charge of their having investigated or prompted those wars, they would have denied the charge, as they have repeatedly done before; and though we might have been able to adduce circumstances of suspicion against them, they would have contested their validity and force, and, whether guilty or not, would have thought their honor concerned in avoiding the most distant concession of having participated in so improper a business.

In every view, therefore, the claim for indemnification was a hopeless one; and to insist upon it could have answered no other purpose than to render an amicable adjustment impossible. No British minister would have dared to go to a British parliament to ask provision for such an expenditure. What, then, was to have been done? Were we now or hereafter to go to war to enforce the claim? Suppose this done, and fifty or a hundred millions of dollars expended in the contest, what certainty is there that we should at last accomplish the object?

Moreover, the principle of such a war, would require, that we should seek indemnification for the expenses of the war itself, in addition to our former claim. What prospect is there; that this also would be effected? Yet if not effected, it is evident that we should have made a most wretched bargain.

What prospect is there; that this also would be effected? Yet if not effected, it is evident that we should have made a most wretched bargain.
Why did we not insist on indemnification for the expenses of our revolution war? Surely not, because it was less reasonable, but because it was evident that it could not have been obtained, and because peace was necessary to us as well as to our enemy. This likewise would be the end of a war undertaken to enforce the claim of indemnification for the detention of the posts. We should at length be glad to make peace either without the indemnification sought, or at best at an expense to carry on the war, without a chance of reimbursement, with which the thing gained would bare no comparison.

The idea which has been thrown out of leaving the posts in the hands of the British, till we might be better able than at present to go to war for indemnification, is a not all political expedient. This would be to postpone of choice the possession of an object which has been shown to be demanded by very urgent and important general considerations, to submit to certain and great inconveniences from that privation, including probably the continuance or renewal of Indian hostilities, and to run the risk, from the growth of British settlements in the neighbourhood of the posts, and various unforeseen casualties of their ultimate acquisition, being difficult and precarious:—for what? why, to take at best the chances of war, the issue of which is ever doubtful, to obtain an object, which, if obtained, will certainly cost more than it is worth. The expenses of war apart, pecuniary indemnification upon any possible scale, would ill compensate for the evils of the future detention, till the more convenient time for going to war should arrive. What should we think of this policy, if it should turn out that the posts and the indemnification too were to be finally abandoned? CAMILLUS.

BOSTON, August 14, 1795. IMPORTANT NAVAL ACTION.
ON Wednesday evening arrived at Gloucester, Schooner Martha, Capt. Haskell, in 40 days from Rochelle, and yesterday she came round to this harbour. From information collected at the former place, and obligingly forwarded to us, and from what we have obtained since her arrival here, we are enabled to give the public the following INTERESTING INFORMATION.
ON Wednesday evening arrived at Gloucester, Schooner Martha, Capt. Haskell, in 40 days from Rochelle, and yesterday she came round to this harbour. From information collected at the former place, and obligingly forwarded to us, and from what we have obtained since her arrival here, we are enabled to give the public the following INTERESTING INFORMATION.
On the fourth of July the above Schooner fell in with an English fleet of fourteen sail of the line, seven frigates, three sloops of war, 2 armed brigs, and several smaller vessels, making in all thirty sail. The Schooner was brought too by the Orion, of 74 guns, on board which by desire, Capt. Haskell went with his papers. On finding the Schooner was bound for Boston, the Captain of the Orion desired him to mention on his arrival, that the English fleet had engaged the French fleet on the 24th June, off Bellisle, and defeated it; that they had captured three French 84 gun ships; and should, had they had two hours more daylight, have captured the whole fleet; but that the French had after dark got into L'Orient; That they intended to cruise off there some days, to ascertain whether the French were disposed to come out & renew the action after a little refreshing or not; and that they had much hopes of having another flap at them. The Captain of the Orion said the force of the two fleets was equal. One of the Lieutenants pointed to Capt. Haskell to where two ports had been broken into one; and told him, that an unlucky shot had killed them seven men, besides, dismounted a gun. Captain Haskell, saw on board, a Mr. Ignatius Medley, of Gloucester, who had been impressed in London; and who confirmed most of the particulars stated by the Captain. After a short detention Capt. H. departed.

Capt. Haskell saw the three prizes which had been taken, they were entirely dismasted and mere wrecks. He saw four English dismasted ships, and evident marks of a severe action were visible in every vessel he passed.

He supposes, from what he heard at Rochelle, that the above fleet was bound from Brest, to join a considerable fleet lying at Daix, a junction with which would have made them superior to the English fleet then cruising; and the British, probably from information of the design, had intercepted them as related.

OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS.
Capt. Haskell, as above, on his passage, spoke several Danish vessels, whose Captains informed, That their Court was apprised of the new orders of Great Britain for stopping neutral vessels bound to France, and the consequent capture of numberless Danish and Swedish vessels—That they were extremely irritated at it; and had in conjunction with the Swedes, determined to fit out a fleet, and demand immediate restitution of such prizes, and a recall of their orders; and if denied, to issue a declaration of war against England.
FROM FRANCE—THE LATEST.
By Captain Haskell, who arrived yesterday in 43 days from Rochelle, we have the latest French intelligence on the Continent. His original place of destination, on sailing, was Ostend; but bad winds and a report of a dull market, induced him to put away for America—For this reason no papers were brought for Boston. His verbal information is, That the Chouans still remained in considerable force (said to be 60,000) that their commanders, however, had been made prisoners by the Republicans, and passed through Rochelle for Paris, with seven inferior officers, who will all undoubtedly receive the reward of their crimes: That except this instance of the Chouans, France was internally tranquil—The capture of Luxembourg occasioned much exultation; and the Death of young Capet, was considered an important event. Flour was at 14 crowns the barrel, and rice at 10 crowns the cwt. Most other articles were low.
FROM BERBICE.
Capt. Bowlen, from Berbice, informs, a report was circulating there, just as he sailed, That a formidable insurrection of the Blacks had taken place at the Isles Capes. Fire arms, swords, knives, cloths, &c. were purchasing up at Berbice, to be sent up to Demerara, to arm the Bucks, (Indians) to assist in quelling the insurrection.
OF PEACE.
The following articles are copied from London Papers of the dates mentioned. We have rather later intelligence from England indeed; but though it gives us nothing corroborative of the information contained in these articles, it does in no shape contradict it.
LONDON, June 23
This morning arrived a Mail from Hamburg, with one Italian bag. When the Mail left Bremen an account had just been received from Frankfort, stating, That a cessation of arms had been agreed upon between the Emperor and France.
June 15.
We stated, on the 13th, that a report had reached Bremen, just as the Mail was leaving that place of a cessation of hostilities between the Emperor and France. This important intelligence is corroborated by accounts from Vienna, Frankfort, and the borders of the Maine, which state, that the contracts are ordered to be stopped; that the march of the troops is countermanded; and that the heavy artillery of the Imperial army is ordered to retrograde to Gunzburg.
NEW-YORK, June 18.
Yesterday sailed for England, in the Thistle frigate, GEORGE HAMMOND, Esquire late Minister of the British court to the United States. We hear he carries the Treaty, with the ratification of the President and Senate.
Extract of a letter from a very respectable House in London, to a Gentleman in this City, dated London, June 11, 1795.
"It was much to be regretted that the Treaty did not reach America in time to be laid before Congress; but we hope it will be ratified and prove the basis of lasting Friendship between the two countries."
"Our government are about to open this and other ports to the admission of West-India produce in American and neutral vessels, subject to sale for exportation in order to divert from Hamburg and other markets the trade enjoyed since the capture of Holland, and we have no doubt it will."
Extract of a letter from London, dated 27th June.
"A number of American and other neutral ships laden with provisions for France, have by order of this government been brought into British ports. Our minister's assurances are, that nothing hostile is intended to the neutral nations; and that they mean to pay, speedily and handsomely for cargoes so detained, as well as freight and demurrage to the ships so brought in."
Guernsey, June 17, 1795.
THE FRENCH EMIGRANT CORPS. The fleet of transports from England, with the emigrant army consisting of from 8 to 10,000 men, has safely arrived, not at that island, as was stated, but on the coast of France: the rest of the troops, stationed at Guernsey, are under orders to be ready at a moment's notice. The royalist army in the department of Ile and Vilaine is estimated at 90,000 men; these are, however, stationed a considerable distance within the country.
June 26.
Accounts from Vienna, of the 3d inst. mention the expectation of the movement of a large body of Russians towards Bohemia.
Letters from Copenhagen speak of an extension of the prohibition of the exportation of corn, especially towards Lubeck, for the purpose of counteracting the views of the speculators, as in reality there was no absolute scarcity of that article. Some movements among the populace has forwarded this measure.
The Paris papers of the 20th instant, contain the following article: "Pichegru continues the career of glory, and is going to gather new laurels at the head of the brave French army, several columns of which have already passed the Rhine."
On the contrary a paper of the 21st states a report of the army of the Rhine having received a material check, which had the effect of causing a considerable depreciation in the value of assignats.
An Edinburgh paper of Monday last contains the following article:
"By the commander of the Mulgrave, arrived at Newcastle from Hamburg, we learn, that Stockholme is almost totally consumed by fire, and that
flames having communicated to part of their fleet, did considerable damage amongst them. It is supposed that the fire has been the effect of design, and a report prevailed at Hamburg, when the Mulgrave left it on Saturday 13th, that two Russians had been taken into custody there, on suspicion of having been concerned in this diabolical crime."
As the Hamburg mail of the 15th, which arrived on Saturday last, made no mention of any fire having taken place at Stockholm, the probability is, that the writer of the above account has mistaken Copenhagen for Stockholm.
It is certain that two Russian gentlemen have been taken into custody at Hamburg, but the nature of the charge exhibited against them was mere matter of conjecture when the last advices left that city.
PLYMOUTH, June 24.
This evening at five o'clock, arrived here the squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Cornwallis, consisting of the Royal Sovereign, Brunswick, Mars, Triumph and Bellerophon, men of war, and Pallas frigate. On the 17th inst. they fell in with a French squadron, consisting of 13 sail of the line, and 14 frigates, which chased them for two days and nights, and at last brought them to action near Belleisle, and a running fight continued for 12 hours, during which eight sail of line of battle ships were terribly shattered—so much so, that they were obliged to give over the chase, and fall back, and the remaining five sail, with the fourteen frigates, observing the rough treatment their companions had met with from this little squadron, thought proper to give up the pursuit also; and Admiral Cornwallis then veered away for England to refit, as most of the squadron has received damage, though glorious to relate, he has not a single man killed, but several are said to be wounded.
The Phaeton frigate, with the captain of the Royal Sovereign on board, charged with dispatches for government, left the squadron the day after the action, and is supposed to be gone to Portsmouth.
The action happened ten days after Admiral Cornwallis fell in with the fleet of merchantmen bound from St. Sebastian to France, of which he captured twelve sail, as stated yesterday, one of whom, a French brig, arrived here this day.
LONDON, June 25.
Some private letters arrived by the last mail from Hamburg intimate, that the Empress of Russia is applying, in a very energetic manner, to the court of Berlin, to induce the king of Prussia to annul the treaty of peace which he has lately made with the French Convention; and that a definitive question is put to him on the subject, in which his answer is required on or before the 22d June. On his reply will depend the execution of some very active measures, which the court of Petersburg has in agitation. The news seems to be confirmed by a circumstance mentioned that some French emigrants of rank and consequence, who were preparing to fall for the West-Indies, have received letters from friends in Berlin, desiring that they will not leave Europe, as circumstances of a very unexpected nature will probably soon be made public, which may throw a very different aspect on their concerns; and give a much speedier opening for their return to their native country than has yet presented itself to their hopes.

At a numerous and respectable meeting of the citizens of Trenton and its vicinity, convened on the 13th August 1795, at the state house, General Frelinghuysen, one of the Senators of this state in the Congress of the United States, attended, and at the request of the citizens present, consented to give his sentiments on the treaty now depending between the United States and Great Britain; whereupon it was
Resolved, (without reference to the merits of the said treaty,) That the meeting have the fullest confidence in the honour, virtue and integrity of Frederick Frelinghuysen, one of the Senators of this state: That this meeting are fully of opinion that in voting for the said treaty, he was actuated by the purest principles of patriotism; and that the thanks of this meeting be given to him for the candour with which he has stated the reasons which induced him to vote for the said treaty.
PETER PORCUPINE.
The celebrated Peter Porcupine has published a pamphlet on the Treaty; this subject he has handled with his usual wit, vivacity and judgment.
This work is recommended to the perusal of the public; for notwithstanding the many excellent essays which have appeared, this writer has many new observations, and his manner of treating every subject, being peculiar to himself, affords a great variety of interesting ideas on that important instrument.
A correspondent recommends to the advocates of the Negro claim, under the treaty of 1783,—that they should turn their attention to the "Other Property" carried off and destroyed by the British. It is supposed that this other property, in favor of which, nothing is said, amounted in value to more than the Negro slaves carried off.
Yesterday, the President's Levee was attended by an unusually large number of citizens.
EDENTON, August 6.
On Sunday last we experienced as severe a gale of wind, accompanied with rain, as we recollect to have happened here for many years. It began at E. N. E. about two o'clock in the morning, and continued in that direction until near evening, when it shifted more to the southward, increasing in violence. The water in the Sound rose nearly four feet higher than what is generally considered a high tide, and did considerable damage to the wharves, and stores, &c, near the water. Several old buildings, and a number of trees and chimneys were blown down, and a brig belonging to Boston, the Sally, Capt. Marchetti, went ashore in the marsh, but has fortunately since got off, by taking out her cargo.
From every account yet received, an almost entire destruction of the crops of corn has taken place.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in New-York, to his friend in this city, Aug. 15.
"By letters from Boston, I am informed, that a counter current to what has hitherto existed, has gained great strength in that quarter, and that the treaty, as better understood, is more liked; upwards of two hundred merchants and traders, including almost every man of property and interest in that line, in Boston, have signed a remonstrance against the town meeting resolutions."

"You are told, we hear, alarming stories concerning a yellow fever prevalent in New-York, at this time. Our Committee of Health, have made publications, which doubtless you have read in the news papers, tending to remove the disquietude of the citizens. Since which, the Physicians have had a meeting, of which the following is a minute, last evening."
"At a meeting of Physicians, in the Senate Chamber of the City Hall, in the city of New-York, on the evening of Saturday August 15, 1795."
"Dr. Samuel L. Mitchell, Chairman. "It was agreed to, as the opinion of this meeting, that no case of yellow fever exists, within the circle of practice of any person, now present; and that the same be declared to their fellow citizens, with a view to calm their apprehensions, on the present occasion."

Original Anecdote. A Salier, on hearing a Jacobin (not worth a shilling) speak of the distressed situation of our commerce, observed to him, "Pretty d—d situation our commerce is in indeed, when the merchants find it for their interest to pay us 25 dollars a month, besides board-rent, victuals and drink."

Copy of Thanks, by Vice Admiral Cornwallis, to his squadron, June 18, 1795.
Vice-Admiral CORNWALLIS returns his sincere thanks to the captains, officers, seamen, and marines, of the ships of the fleet under his orders, for their steady and gallant conduct in the presence of the French fleet yesterday; which firmness, he has no doubt, deterred the enemy from making a more serious attack. It would give the Vice-Admiral pleasure to put the whole of their exertions in effect, by meeting a more equal force, when the country would receive advantage, as it now does honour, from the spirit so truely manifested by its brave men.

PARIS, June 21.
CRIMINAL CODE.
The Convention on Prairial 30 (June 18,) passed the following Decree:
I. In future all acts of wilful homicide, qualified murder, shall be punished with death. This law is a derogation from the article in the Penal Code, which condemns that crime to the punishment of twenty years imprisonment in fetters.
II. In case of murder or assassination, the guilty shall be arrested by orders of the Justice of Peace, or an Officer of the Gens d'Arms, and brought to be tried by a Criminal Tribunal.
III. In default of a Justice of Peace, the National Agent, or the Municipality, shall fulfil this function.
IV. The Public Accuser shall draw up an Act of Accusation, if necessary. If the accusation is not made out, the latter has no authority to discharge the prisoner, without the consent of the Tribunal.
V. A list of Jurors shall be drawn up, who shall give the verdict by a majority of votes. The sentences to be executed within 24 hours; no appeal in criminal cases.
VI. All Administrations, Municipal Officers, and Military Commanders shall put in execution the present Decree. The Civil and Military Officers, who should neglect the execution of it, are to be dismissed from their places.
VII. The 5th title of the Law of 8th Nivose, respecting the Revolutionary Code, shall be executed by the Tribunals, as far as it should not be contrary to the principles of this Decree.
(Extract from the Moniteur .)
Chiappe, Representative of the People with the Armies of the Alps and Italy, having joined his Colleagues in Toulon, to the National Convention.
"Toulon, 19 Prairial, Third Year of French Liberty."
"BRAVE COLLEAGUES,"
"IN the beginning of this month, your firmness was the salvation of Liberty—That memorable epoch will bear witness of your principles and your energy to future generations. You have to weep over the tomb of the unfortunate Ferrand: I have the additional regret of not having participated your dangers in the bosom of the Convention. Those dangers, which I surmounted at Toulon, can only console me. You are already informed of the events which took place in that rebellious City. Their result is a new triumph for the Republic—Never was a more horrible plot combined, and traced out by hands still reeking with the blood of innocent Frenchmen. Its centre was in Paris; nay, in the midst of the Convention; but its grasp extended to Toulon and Rochfort; in short, to the utmost bounds of the Republic—Hence it burst forth in one and the same day—the same hour; but every where Justice and the Laws have triumphed—every where has guilt been crushed. At present, we must not be lulled, by the pretended return of bloody men to just principles—We must run no chance with them; we must separate our cause from theirs, otherwise the just and honest might finally be wearied out, and render your victory insecure. For a long time, these tigers have declared, in the den of the Jacobins, that two parties were pitted against each other—We admit of this as truth, and therefore, must make a
war of extermination against them. All Departments, all good Citizens, turn their eyes towards you—They are astonished at your intrepidity; beware, lest it prove fatal to Liberty. What! will you still rely on the conversion and contrition of those murderers of humanity, of Justice, and Virtue? Have they not been in open revolt against you since the 9th of Thermidor?—Do they not still, both nightly and daily, conspire against Liberty and Equality?—In short, is it not their determination to reign over you, through the medium of a Government of blood and carnage?
"Wait not till they assassinate the whole of you together; the example of Ferrand ought not to be one moment from before your eyes. Neither I myself, nor any good Republican, desire, the death of deluded men; but I earnestly desire that of those who have robbed, betrayed, and assassinated the People, who have robbed, betrayed, and assassinated them; their punishment must be as sudden as a thunder bolt. You know not yet all the blackness of the plots of those infamous Conspirators; they have endeavoured to shame the fidelity of our Armies by their Emisaries and Italy has been tampered with by every possible means; but the brave, the true Defenders of their Country, faithful to their posts, have listened to the voice of their Representatives. They will never fight for any other cause but for the Convention, the Republic, and the Law; and here I seem to catch the murmurs of the remains of that infamous Leven; I hear myself called a Royalist. No! No! Vice-accusators! I am not a Royalist, and ye know it well. I detest the Government of Kings, but abhor equally that of Men of Blood. Ye know, that I alone, during thirty-six hours, braved in Toulon the daggers of your satellites; in order to accelerate a national measure, which will give the final blow to those Kings whom you are serving. Learn, that that formidable squadron which you had enchanted in the Road of Toulon, has failed."
"You know, that I wish for Liberty and Republicanism, but only such a Republic as shall for ever render you impotent for the purposes of mischief. Your manoeuvres in the South have for a while torn me from the advanced posts of an Army which combats for Liberty; but I shall soon return thither. Toulon, Bandits are no longer yours, and I shall not quit it but to gain new victories.—A Decree has ordered from hence my Colleague Guerin—he obeys the National Will. The firm and brave conduct with which I have seen him act, leaves me no doubt but that he will easily justify himself to you and your Committee." (Signed) "CHIAPPE."

Department of the Vosges. Extract of a letter from Montureux on the Saone, near d'Arnay.
A frightful storm has entirely destroyed the harvest of our commune. Neither had the flocks time to get to the town; they consisted of 1000 sheep and 300 goats, and only 100 sheep and one goat have been saved. The desolation is extreme. The disaster happened on the 17th Prairial (5th of June) the day upon which the patriots had opened their church for the exercise of a religious worship conformable to the laws of the Republic, and to found reason, under a Pastor, respectable for a well supported patriotism, by his age, his science, and his services of 45 years to that commune. But the ci-devant terrorists, anarchists, and their dear friends the fanatics, have made use of this desolating catastrophe to throw odium upon the Curate and upon the patriots, by saying, that God had avenged himself upon a decree which defended the Constitutional Preachers. However, the faithful friends of their country and of reason, have regarded with compassion this last sigh of the despair of Aristocracy. Praise is due to the Municipality, which has maintained peace between the two parties, and repaired, as much as lay in their power, the misfortunes caused by this unhappy event.
