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 Hazlehurst, and on which he has spared no pains or expense, to make it convenient and agreeable for the reception of gentlemen.

For the accommodation of Small Parties, the Large Coffee Room on the ground floor is conveniently fitted up with a number of Boxes, contrived 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, Roastfish, &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 a party of 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.

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 priace 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 horns 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 hafty peace with it; the PORTUGUESE and PRUSSIANS will do the same." "The UNITED STATES of AMERICA will declare war against England; and 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

As it is obvious that the present flourishing state of our navigation, is in a great measure owing to the operation of the laws I have mentioned, it must follow, that whatever countervails the effect of those laws must bring it back to the state in which it was. Now as the profits of every voyage are calculated on the outward and homeward voyage, we pay in the British dominions exactly what they pay here, the charge upon the whole voyage is the same. If, even, previous to the passing our tonnage laws, the British, by the operation of their navigation laws, had such advantage over us, in our own commerce, as to employ two hundred and thirty thousand tons of her shipping, as she did in 1789; while the whole of American shipping employed in the trade with Britain and its dominions, amounted in the same year, to only 3,580 tons, less than one sixth part of the whole quantity engaged in the interchange of commodities between the two nations, it must follow that we shall again be reduced in consequence of the treaty to our former humiliating situation, our seamen must go into the service of the nation that is again to navigate for us, and our ship builders and the numerous trades connected with them, must starve or seek some other employment, since our merchants will no longer have occasion for ships, and the British merchants are not permitted to use those we build. It is observable too, that the tonnage duty which Britain is to lay, is not a countervailing duty, like that on goods imported, but is to be in the words of the article "equal to that which is payable by British vessels in the ports of America." Now foreign vessels pay 50 cents here, of course 50 cents may be imposed on our vessels in Britain, but our own vessels also pay six cents a ton at home, so that on every voyage to the British dominions, and home again, they will pay 56 cents, while the British pay only 50; and as the voyage may be performed three times a year, the American ship will pay on the whole, 18 cents a ton annually more than the British, and it may be a question whether we have any right to repeal the law laying the home duty, as it was imposed and enacted when the treaty was made and ratified, the repeal would put the British vessels in a less advantageous situation than they were at the time the treaty was made. But the discouragement does not rest here, except so far as our trade may be confined to the city of London, for in every other port we pay an extra light money of 18 3/4 sterling a ton, which is about 39 cents; so that an American vessel going to Bristol, Liverpool, &c. and returning, will pay (besides the 50 cents the British are to impose) six cents American tonnage, and 39 cents extra light and Trinity money, that is 45 cents more a ton than a British vessel performing the same voyage, and which in three voyages, or one year, will amount, on a vessel of 400 tons, to 540 dollars, extra charge on American vessels. Thus then we give an annual and no inconsiderable bounty to British vessels, to the prejudice of our own navigation. I believe that this is the first instance in the history of nations, in which a commercial one has given greater encouragement to foreign ships than to her own. But the evil does not stop here, equalizing duties are to be imposed, what those are to be is not ascertained by the treaty; but as the power to impose them is reserved to the British parliament, what is to prevent their exceeding their just measure. But supposing they are really inclined not to go beyond the right reserved by the treaty, what is to be the rule of that right? The duties we impose upon their commodities amount to 12 per cent. on the India, and at the average, to about 10 per cent. on other articles. Are they to lay a duty which will amount to a mean of the relative quantities of these articles? if they are, how is it to be found, as the relative proportion between the importation of these articles is continually fluctuating? or is the countervailing duty to amount to as much on the whole of the articles imported from the United States, as the whole duty paid on foreign articles imported in British ships pay the United States? this seems to be the true construction of the article. If so then, as our imports from the British dominions, exceed our exports to them by more than one third, and supposing the average of the duty they pay here to be 10 per cent. the duty upon our exports, if carried to any of the British dominions, in American vessels, must amount to 15 per cent. otherwise the whole duty will not be equalized, the advantage that this will give to British ships over ours, particularly when they bring our cheap and bulky articles, or such as pay no duty, is too obvious to dwell upon. But this is not the only effect of this equalizing duty, as Britain has a right to choose the articles on which they may impose it, she has in some sort the regulation of our trade, so far as it may be carried on in American vessels; thus suppose she should put the greatest part of this equalizing duty upon the most bulky articles, it would necessarily follow that those articles must either rot on our hands, seek another market, or go in British ships, which would pay no duty at home. Could a more effectual way be devised to exclude us absolutely from carrying our own commodities? It may be said that independent of the treaty, Britain might have imposed these duties; true, and independent of the treaty we might have met them with other duties.

2d. As the British must necessarily be the principal carriers between us and their dominions, so they will be in a great measure the carriers between us and foreign nations: because while by their navigation act they absolutely forbid us to enter their ports with any commodities not the growth and manufacture of our own country; they bring the commodities of other nations upon the same terms as those might by whom they were raised, and they can take back a return cargo to Britain, or its dominions, with greater advantage than we can carry our own produce, by the whole difference of the tonnage, and countervailing duties with six cents supra added if they return to London, and 45 cents if to any other port in the British dominions, and from thence again return with British commodities to the original port. It is evident that the benefits accruing such privileged ships, must give their owners great advantages over others; and as they can only be held by British subjects, who are by

the terms of the treaty to be in every respect upon a footing with our own merchants, while they enjoy all those additional advantages as British subjects, it requires no great foresight to discover, that the whole trade of America must be engrossed by them. Nor does it require much more to see that the leading object of this treaty, is to establish the navigation and commerce of Britain upon the ruins of our own. To fill the atlantic ports, and the western territory with British merchants and factors—to establish a certain degree of rank for British officers, whom the humiliated American is directed, under pain of being "considered as a disturber of the peace of both nations, to treat with respect due to his commission;" to put such fetters upon our legislature: as would forever bind them to the will of that imperious nation—to disgust our republican allies, and leave us only to the justice and humanity of the man who has urged our slaves to cut our throats—savages to murder our women and children—barbarian pirates to enslave our mariners—and his own banditti to profane our churches—burn our dwellings, and rob, plunder, and massacre our citizens. If we compare this treaty with many speeches, made about the period of Mr. Jay's appointment, with the support he has avowedly received from the British faction, with the warmth with which he engaged in the controversy between our government and the French minister: If we add the readiness that ardent or vindictive men feel, to suppose every thing right which strengthens their party, we shall be less surprised at the treaties, contravening the existing laws of the country, where they bore hard upon the British, or its giving them such additional encouragement as should induce them to pour in their myriads to support and strengthen the hands of government against native Americans, and the friends and well wishers to foreign and domestic republics—whom the courtiers have dared to calumniate with the names of ant federal and jacobin.

Mr. Pinckney informs us in his letter to Mr. Jefferson, that Lord Grenville, in stating the principles on which they had issued the instruction of 8th January, 1794, made use of these terms, "the second was that he [Lord Grenville] could not mention to me officially, but that he still thought it right I should be apprised of, that no misconception of their motives might be entertained, that he was aware of the delicacy of speaking to a foreign minister concerning the internal state of his country, neither could he expect an answer from me on the subject. But that the second reason was to take away every pretext from evil disposed persons among us [the citizens of the United States] who according to the intelligence he had received were endeavouring to irritate our people against Great Britain, as well as to oppose the measures of our own government, and in short, to reduce us to the present situation of France." It is evident from this communication, that Lord Grenville supposed that all those persons in America, who felt for the honor of their country—who were irritated at the piracies of the British, and the insults and injuries we had suffered, which I believe included every native American not holding an office, a seat in Congress, or money in the funds were the opposers of our own government.

As the instructions alluded to, directed the taking our vessels, going from the French West Indies to any port in Europe, Lord Grenville must have conceived, that the way to strengthen the hands of our government, was to destroy our commerce—imprison our seamen in unhealthy climates, and lessen our connection with France; the whole was evidently thrown out to Mr. Pinckney to induce him to enter into conversation with him on the subject of such a convention between the two governments as should engage America in a war with France, permit Britain to plunder our trade, and in return lend her aid for the support of our government. The whole speaks this plain language, "the friends of Britain in America, are the friends of your government, the enemies to British depredations are the enemies of your government, and Jacobins who love the French; let us make a common cause of it, we can mutually assist each other." Mr. Pinckney was too prudent to enter into any discussion with Lord Grenville on this delicate subject; I hope Mr. Jay has been equally so.

That the cause of the treaty, and the cause of Britain, have gone hand and hand in this country, will not, however, be disputed, by those who know the birth patronage, and affection of its advocates, and as this dangerous instrument has a tendency to destroy our connection with France, to cut the sinews of the national strength, to compel us to rely on Great Britain, and to import supporters of our government from thence: we cannot doubt its being the offspring of a preconceived system.

I most cordially join in the general joy of every good citizen, on the patriotic firmness exhibited by our worthy President in supporting the constitution of the country; for though he discreetly waves hazarding a sentiment on the right of exercising an absolute negative on the determination of the Senate, yet he is under no hesitation in giving their constitutional decision, a formal effect.

That the tenor of the treaty is not coextensive with the wishes of the citizens of the United States, is admitted by all, but as our constitutional Representatives have still thought it politic to give it a partial confirmation, I ought not to suppose that any real well wisher to his country would dare to substitute the hasty ill digested resolutions of uninformed individuals. Would not such measures tend to the destruction of all government? Have we not a constitution founded on rational and liberal principles, which though opposed by some in its formation, yet has been wisely and universally permitted to enter into full operation. Upon what principles then is it attempted to usurp the power of government and place it in a multitude of detached bodies. If one set of men meet and attempt to direct public councils, another may with equal propriety meet in opposition. Where will this terminate? will it not dissolve the bands of Society and cast us back into a state of nature? Surely no considerate man will lend his aid to the workers of confusion; for whatever pretences may be made, of a meer opposition to the treaty, there is too much reason to fear that it arises from a deep rooted hatred to the Constitution; a Constitution under which there is more true liberty and happiness enjoyed, than under any form of government in the world. Let us but support our present system of mild government and good laws flowing from constitutional sources and we must be a great and envied people. That there will be turbulent men in all countries must ever be expected, and that there will be weak men who will follow them blindfold into the absurd measures; but the great bulk of the people whilst they are enlightened will pursue their own happiness, and support good government.

Upon what principles then is it attempted to usurp the power of government and place it in a multitude of detached bodies. If one set of men meet and attempt to direct public councils, another may with equal propriety meet in opposition. Where will this terminate? will it not dissolve the bands of Society and cast us back into a state of nature? Surely no considerate man will lend his aid to the workers of confusion; for whatever pretences may be made, of a meer opposition to the treaty, there is too much reason to fear that it arises from a deep rooted hatred to the Constitution; a Constitution under which there is more true liberty and happiness enjoyed, than under any form of government in the world. Let us but support our present system of mild government and good laws flowing from constitutional sources and we must be a great and envied people. That there will be turbulent men in all countries must ever be expected, and that there will be weak men who will follow them blindfold into the absurd measures; but the great bulk of the people whilst they are enlightened will pursue their own happiness, and support good government.
It is not to be understood that by supporting good government we are tamely to submit to Injustice and injustice; the late conduct of the British cruisers, even in our ports should claim our most pointed resentment, not stopping at the dilatory mode of obtaining satisfaction by diplomatic complaints, the arms of government should be immediately pointed to the offender; when a commander of a ship of war shall insolently and wantonly break through the rules established by neutral nations, he should be denied the enjoyment of neutral rights. Though we are sincerely disposed to pursue pacific measures with all nations, yet their subjects shall not be permitted to affront us on our own territory, Capt. Home and his crew should be informed that the ports of America should be shut to them as men who have violated the rights of nations the rights of their own nation and of ours. Whilst foreigners treat us with decency and justice they shall find us the friends of mankind, but at the same time that we are men who know our rights and how to protect them.

LONDON, June 25. What will the Ringers for German honor and Imperial faith, the approvers of the Austrian loan, say, when they peruse the following letter, which we have no doubt will soon receive such a confirmation as will convince the most obstinate, that the Emperor, as if in perfect spite to his supporters in the British Parliament, has announced his intention to conclude a peace with France for his hereditary states, and also to enter into negotiations for the empire!

His majesty the Emperor of Germany to his excellency the Prince Colloredo, president of the aulic tribunal of the Roman Empire.
"When I ascended the throne, I found myself involved in a war replete with ruin to my hereditary states, into which my father was led by his allies, and the most solemn promises of the Holy Roman Empire. At this moment I perceive myself abandoned by my allies, the strength of my people reduced, and my treasures exhausted, whilst my allies have only considered their own interest. I have therefore sent my minister, the Count de Lehlbach, to Britenfee, to conclude a peace, for the sake of my hereditary states, of which I shall render an account to no one. But, ever mindful of the engagements which I have contracted towards the German co-estates, I am silent on the subject of their ingratitude for these my last efforts, and therefore, at the same time, send to Britenfee my Vice-President of the Empire, the Baron de Barterlyn; there to negotiate an advantageous peace for the empire. I invite (if they should so please) those of the Germanic body who should be inclined to unite themselves to me, to send instructions and full powers to this ambassador, with an assurance that by placing a reliance on the ancient Austrian fidelity to its promises, they will most infallibly meet with more success, than those who with a blind confidence have involved themselves with a power faithless to the most solemn engagements."

Admiral Cornwallis, on board his majesty's ship Royal Sovereign, the 11th of June, to Evan Nepean, Esq. Secretary of the Admiralty.
SIR, I request that you will be pleased to acquaint the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that on the 6th inst. a ship having been chased by the Squadron, a signal was made to me from the Phaeton, that it was an enemy's frigate. But in the evening Capt. Stafford made me a signal, that he could not come up with the chase, upon which I called him in and brought to for the night, being then in latitude 47, 28, long. 5, 57. In the morning of the 7th, a sail was seen again to the eastward. I made the signal for the Phaeton, Pallas and King-Fisher, to chase, and followed them with the line of battle ships. It was blowing fresh from the north; and as we came in with the land several large ships were seen under sail, which proved to be a French Squadron, consisting of three line of battle ships, six frigates, a brig a sloop a cutter. Some of them were at first standing off shore, but unfortunately the wind was fair for them to get into Bellisle road, where we saw several large ships at anchor. We had got very near to the enemy's ships and had hopes at first we should have got up with them before they could have reached their ports; and made signals for the ships to form for their mutual support; and engage the enemy as they came up. The Phaeton fired several shots which the line of battle returned from their stems. I followed as far as I thought prudent, and then hauled the wind. Soon after I saw three sail standing in, I made the signal to chase, they were two French frigates and a large Dutch built ship, in tow of one of them. They stood round the south end of Bellisle; the hindmost ship got within gun shot, and several were exchanged. The King-Fisher fired several broad sides at the frigates; they were obliged to cast off the ship in tow and rounding the point of the island we came upon a convoy, chiefly brigs. Eight of them were taken, but the frigates running in shore among shoals, the Triumph and Phaeton having made signals to me of danger we were obliged to give over the pursuit.

By what I can learn the convoy came from Bourdeaux laden with wines and under the charge of three line of battle ships, and eight frigates. A brig Corvette had anchored close in with the south end of the island in the evening, whilst the frigates were chased at night. I directed Capt. Stopford, in the Phaeton, to work in shore, and if he did not perceive any works to protect the Corvette, to endeavour to bring her out. He attempted it in the morning, but they opened a battery on the ship which he had not seen; and the brig being close hauled inshore during the night, Capt. Stopford very properly thought it not an object of consequence to balance the loss the ship was likely to sustain, and therefore returned having had one man killed, seven wounded and two of his guns dismounted. I find the vessels have naval stores as well as wine; the ship has cannon, and I understand is laden with naval and ordnance stores.

Two American vessels, laden with provisions of different kinds have been detained here by the Squadron. I send them in by the King-Fisher. I have ordered Capt. Gosselin to join me here again immediately.

Extract of a Letter from Vice Admiral Cornwallis, dated June 15. 1795, on board the Royal Sovereign, at sea to Evan Nepean, Secretary to the Admiralty.
I have the honor to inform you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that on the 16th, in the morning, standing in with the land near the Pennarks, I sent the Phaeton ahead to look out for any of the enemy's ships on the coast. I stood after her with the rest of the ships: at 10 she made a signal for joining a fleet ahead, and afterwards that they were of superior force; upon her bringing to, I made a signal to haul the wind upon the starboard tack.
I have the honor to inform you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that on the 16th, in the morning, standing in with the land near the Pennarks, I sent the Phaeton ahead to look out for any of the enemy's ships on the coast. I stood after her with the rest of the ships: at 10 she made a signal for joining a fleet ahead, and afterwards that they were of superior force; upon her bringing to, I made a signal to haul the wind upon the starboard tack.
At this time I could see the hulls of the strange sails. Thirty were counted, and some of them had all their sails out upon a wind to leeward of us. I stood up on the starboard tack with all our sails, keeping the ships collected. Upon enquiring, by signal, the enemy's forces, Capt. Stopford answered 13 line of battle ships, 14 frigates, a brig and a cutter, in all 30 sail. Near half of them tacked in shore, in the afternoon the wind fell very much and came round to the northward, and of course brought those ships of the enemy which had tacked to windward, and the other laid up for us; they were seen in the morning before it was day-light upon both quarters of the Squadron.

At nine in the morning one of the front line of battle ships began to fire upon the Mars; their frigates were arranged up ahead of us to windward, except one, which kept to leeward and ran upon the larboard quarter of the Mars; then opened and fired, which was frequent and repeated. This was the only frigate that attempted any thing. A teasing fire with intervals was kept up during the whole day; in the evening they made a show of a more serious attack upon the Mars, which had fell a little to leeward, and obliged me to bear up for her support: this was their last effort: if any thing deserves this appellation. Several shot were fired for a hour after, but they appeared to be drawing off, and before the sun was set their whole fleet had tacked and was standing from us: the Mars and Triumph being the sternmost ships, were of course more exposed to the enemy's fire, and I cannot too much commend the spirited conduct of Sir Charles Cotton and Sir Erasmus Gower, the captains of those ships. Lord Charles Fitzgerald also in the Brunswick kept up a very good fire from the after guns; but that ship was obliged the whole time to carry every sail. The Bellerophon being nearly in the same circumstance was glad to keep in some measure in reserve, having reason just to suppose there would be full occasion for the utmost exertion of us all; and being rather ahead of me was not able to fire much. I considered that ship as a treasure in store, having heard that

Joined to the activity and zeal displayed by Lord Cranston during the whole cruise, I am so much indebted to Capt. White, for his ability and unremitting diligence on board the Royal Sovereign. The frigates showed the greatest attention and alertness. I kept the Pallas near me to repeat signals, which Capt. Gursen performed very much to my satisfaction; indeed I shall ever feel the impressions which the good conduct of the captains, officers, seamen marines and soldiers in the squadron has made on my mind; and it was the greatest pleasure I ever received to see the spirit manifested by the men, who instead of being callous at seeing 30 sail of the enemy's ships attacking our little squadron, were in the highest spirits imaginable—I do not mean the Royal Sovereign alone, the same spirit was shown in all the ships as they came near me, and although, circumstanced as we were, we had no great reason to complain of the conduct of the enemy, yet our men could not help repeatedly expressing their contempt of them:—could common prudence have allowed me to let loose their volleys, I hardly know what might not have been accomplished by such men.

Little damages have been received by the ships in general, except the Sterns having been very much shocked by firing the guns; the Mars reports 12 men wounded, but none killed—the mainmasts, fore and fore-top-sail yard wounded, and the rigging and sails cut a good deal. The Triumph has shifted and repaired some of her sails, but any damage she has received is so trifling, at least in the captain's eyes, that Sir Erasmus Gower has not thought it worth reporting: indeed the cool and firm conduct of that ship was such, that it appeared to me the enemy's ships dared not to come near her. I take an opportunity of sending this by the Phoenix, left upon hearing that the French fleet are at sea their lordships may be under a prepossession for the safety of their ships.

June 28. From the London Gazette Extraordinary. Admiralty Office, June 27. The following dispatch was this morning received from Lord Bridport, K. B. Royal George, at Sea, June 24, 1795.
Sir, It is with sincere satisfaction I acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that his majesty's ships under my command attacked the enemy's fleet, consisting of 12 ships of the line, attended with eleven frigates and some smaller cruisers, on the 23d inst. close in with port L'Orient: the ships which struck are the Alexander, Le Formidable and Le Tygre, which were with difficulty retained. If the enemy had not been protected and sheltered by the land, I have every reason to believe that a greater number, if not all the line of battle ships, would have been taken or destroyed.

If the enemy had not been protected and sheltered by the land, I have every reason to believe that a greater number, if not all the line of battle ships, would have been taken or destroyed.
In detailing the particulars of this service, I am to state, that at the dawn of day on the 23d inst. the Nymph and Astrea being the look-out frigates ahead, made the signal for the enemy's fleet. I soon perceived that there was no intention to meet me in battle; consequently I made the signal for four of the best sailing ships, the Sans Pareil, Orion, Ruffel and Colossus, and soon afterwards for the whole fleet, to chase, which continued all that day and during the night with very little wind.

Early in the morning on the 23d inst. the headmost ships, the Irresistible, Orion, Queen Charlotte, Ruffel, Colossus and Sans Pareil, were pretty well up with the enemy, and a little before six o'clock the action began and continued till near 9, when the ships struck: the British squadron were near to some batteries, and in the face of a strong naval port; which will manifest to the public, the zeal, intrepidity and skill of the admirals, captains, and all other officers and soldiers employed upon this service; and they are fully entitled to my warmest acknowledgments. I beg also to be allowed to mark my approbation, in a particular manner, of captain Domett's conduct, serving under my flag; for his manly spirit, and for the assistance I received from his active and attentive mind. I feel likewise great satisfaction in doing justice to the meritorious conduct of all the officers of every class, as well as the bravery of the seamen and soldiers in the Royal George upon this event, and upon former occasions.

I judged it necessary upon the information I had received of the force of the enemy, to put the Robust, Thunderer and Standard, into my line of battle; but their distance from the squadron, and under the circumstances of little wind, they could not join me till after the action was over. I shall proceed upon my station as soon as I have ordered a distribution of the prisoners, and made other necessary arrangements for the squadron. It is my intention to keep at sea, in order to fulfil every part of my instructions, I have judged it necessary to send captain Domett with my dispatches, who will give their lordships such further information as shall have occurred to him on the victory we have gained.

My Lords and Gentlemen, It is impossible to contemplate the internal situation of the enemy, with whom we are contending, without indulging a hope that the present circumstances of France may, in their effects, hasten the return of such a state of order and regular government as may be capable of maintaining the accustomed relations of amity and peace with other powers. The issue, however, of these extraordinary transactions is out of the reach of human foresight. Till that desirable period arrives, when my subjects can be restored to the secure enjoyment of the blessings of peace, I shall not fail to make the most effectual use of the force which you have put into my hands.

It is with the utmost satisfaction that I have recently received the advices of an important and brilliant success obtained over the enemy, by a detachment of my fleet under the able conduct of Lord Bridport.

Accounts have reached this country of the Emigrants under Sir J. B. Warren having effected a landing in Quiberon Bay, with the utmost regularity. The Royalists are in that quarter in very great force; and as considerable supplies of arms and ammunition have been sent them, there can be no doubt of their force very rapidly increasing. Lord Bridport's station, to which he alludes in his late letter, is probably off that part of the coast where the Emigrants have landed, to prevent any interruption to Sir J. B. Warren's operations from any ships the French might have sent out for that purpose.

We understand that an army of the Chouans, and likewise a Republican army, were witnesses, from their different positions in the vicinity of L'Orient, of the glorious victory obtained by Lord Bridport over the French Fleet, under the walls of that place. This circumstance must give additional energy to the Chouans; for while it shews them that nothing can resist British valor, it must increase their detestation and contempt for the Republicans, against whose cause they have so perseveringly combated.

We have no doubt, likewise, but that when the intelligence of this victory on the part of the British becomes circulated in France, it will operate very powerfully in favor of the Emigrants landed under the protection of Sir J. B. Warren's squadron. The Royalists certain that this country is undisputed mistress of the sea, will be inspired with a renewed confidence, which may incite them to fresh enterprise, and probably lead them to attempts which may contribute to the salvation and ultimate peace of their distracted country.

The three French line of battle ships captured by our fleet, were so severely mauled, that it has been necessary to send them home in tow, under a convoy. The rest of the French fleet also suffered very much; and so disabled was the Admiral's Flag-Ship, Le Peuple, as to have had a very narrow escape by running under the batteries of the Island de Groix, which covers the entrance to Port Louis and L'Orient. Lord Bridport finding he could not take her, gave her a complete broadside at parting from his own ship. Three of the French ships ran aground, but it is supposed they would get off. So near was this engagement to the land, that it is extreme y doubtful whether Lord Bridport would have been able to have captured any other ship than the Alexander, if the other two prizes, the Tigre and the Formidable, had not been ordered to slacken sail and wait for her; the French seeming to make it a point to save this ship if possible.

The Letters, both of Lord Bridport and Vice Admiral Cornwallis, do infinite honor to their heads and hearts. They are characterized by the true modesty of merit, while they express that glow of soul which the true valor of their Officers and Men is so well calculated to inspire.

Our navy is now equal to cope with the united force of Europe, were it opposed to us; a judicious disposal of our fleets must therefore inevitably crush the maritime power of France; and we feel a pride in recounting, that that is already much more than half accomplished. It is not more, however, in the successes of our fleets that we rejoice than in the circumstances under which these are obtained that we glory. In every instance, in which the Republican flag has suffered disgrace and defeat, there has fortunately been an opportunity for the skill and courage of our officers and men to blaze with heightened lustre. The Mediterranean and the Atlantic are equally propitious to British Fame; and the distinguished victories of a Hotham and a Bridport, will be rivalled in Fame by the astonishing retreat of a Cornwallis.

By the new constitution proposed for France, there are to be three Estates.—The first is to be the Executive, composed of five members—the second the antients, or Patricians, or the Senate, composed of five hundred—and the third, consisting likewise of five hundred, is to propose laws, which the Senate is to examine and to pass. This form seems chiefly taken from some of the American States, whose form of government is built upon the model

PARIS, June 27. The price of Louis-d'ors have risen again to almost 1000 livres in assignats. The rise is ascribed to the intelligence received, whether true or false, of the death of Gen Pichegru, and a check which it is said, our troops have experienced on the banks of the Rhine.

Extract of a letter from the Rev. Mr. Lawrence, Chaplain of his Majesty's ship Blenheim, dated off Minorca, May 24.
"On Monday the 18th, about three leagues from the land, the weather hazy, the Courageux and Cyclops, which had parted company on the 11th in a gale of wind (the former having made signals of distress, and bore away for Corsica) rejoined us. This day likewise the Dido from Leghorn, and the Fox cutter, from Gibraltar, joined the fleet. The latter brought the intelligence of the capture of the Cape of Good Hope.

A man escaped from Toulon, brings intelligence of six sail having gone from thence to Tunis, to protect a convoy. He says, the French are incapable of fitting out their fleet, which altogether consists of twenty sail, including the six that failed: so that at present we find ourselves equal to any force they can send out. We shall cruise off Minorca till joined by the squadron from England.

THE Committee appointed to prevent the introduction and spreading of infectious diseases in this city, Report, That they have not ceased to make the most diligent inquiries respecting the epidemic which has of late appeared in this city; that a few cases of a suspicious nature do still occur, but that none which have come to their knowledge (and they possess the best means of information) afford any reason to conclude this disease to be more contagious than fevers at this season of the year frequently are, in their latter stages.—That nurses, servants, friends and attendants very generally escape with impunity, and that after the most attentive enquiry, they can hear of no more than fourteen deaths in this large and populous city, since their report of the 8th inst. which can be attributed to this complaint.

But no time is yet fixed for the payment; two months is supposed to be specified: For what reason we know not the cargo is reserved for adjudication to some other day. We have had an interview with the secretary of state relative to the ship and cargo, and we indulge a hope that payment will be liberally made, and as soon as the forms of office will admit—but on this head no determination has been made for any of the recent captures."

Says a Correspondent. If the writer in Peirce's "Oracle of the day" who signs himself "A Friend to Truth" really feels sore for the error he committed in voting on Gunn's resolution, he has since committed an error equally painful; a departure from Truth. General Frelinghuysen and Mr. John Henry, two of the senators that voted for the treaty, were absent and did not vote on the above mentioned resolution. Mr. Marshall one of the twenty voted in the negative, and Mr. Butler one of the ten voted in the affirmative. One vote more was necessary to carry the question. It is fair to conjecture that it was not the intention of the mover of the resolution to settle the treaty and it is so expressed in the proviso, which, it is presumed, gave offence to the "Friend to Truth."

CONSTANTINOPLE, April 30. The first vessels arrived from Alexandria, with cargoes of grain, have been followed by many others, which have caused abundance in this capital, and with it popular tranquility. That which troubles the government at present, are the disturbances which almost daily take place between the Janissaries and the troops which have been raised. Some days past, there has been a long and bloody contest between the soldiers and the militia, in the place called the Field of Death; many were left dead upon the spot, and many are wounded. The Grand Signior has given severe orders against the authors of this revolt, and has taken measures for preventing similar disorders in future.

Citizen Verniac, the French minister, arrived here, last week; he has already received the usual visits from the Grand Signior, and from the ministers of neutral powers; but he has not yet had any solemn act of acknowledgment in quality of Ambassador of the French Republic.

We transported, the 28th of last month, from Haddamar to Mayenbach, twelve pieces of cannon and 18000 lbs. of ball. The dragonoon regiment, Imperial de la Tour, received orders also to surrender in this fortress. All the vessels which were found in the Rhinegau were sent in the night of the 29th ult. to Haddarheim. All the sailors were forbidden to remove more than a league from home. We had made every preparation for a battle, when a courier arrived, which is believed, brings news of the conclusion of an armistice.

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 author 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 situations are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, fearily, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, pleasant justice is not, we think, properly distributed.
