No. 59 South Water Street.
THE Subscriber respectfully begs leave to inform his friends and the public in general, that he has removed from No. 166 South 2d Street, to that large, commodious, House in Water Street, between Chestnut and Walnut Streets, lately occupied by Mr. Isaac Isaacson, and on which he has spared no pains or expense, to make it convenient and agreeable for the reception of gentlemen. The House being situated on the same spot where the noted Beef Steak and Punch house formerly stood, has the advantage of the best water in this city, known long since by the name of the Green Tree Water. As there are several elegant Rooms, sufficiently large to accommodate any Society or company of gentlemen, and from his well known abilities to please in the line of his business, he flatters himself with a continuance of that patronage which he has experienced since he first opened a Public House in this City, and, for which he begs leave to make a public acknowledgment. For the accommodation of Small Parties, the Large Coffee Room on the ground floor is conveniently fitted up with a number of Boxes, constructed in such a manner as to admit Gentlemen to be as private as they please—Where may be had, at any hour, Soups, Beef-Steaks, Relishes, &c. &c.

GENOA, March 19.
The French ship, the Sans Culotte, of 120 guns, 1350 men, 300 genadiers, and some companies of volunteers, besides 150 English prisoners, part of the crew of the Berwick, arrived here on the 16th inst.
The Sans Culotte is commanded by Capt. Lapouille, and has on board general La Harpe. On account of the heavy sailing of this ship, she was not with the French fleet in the engagement with Admiral Hotham. The day before yesterday a furious storm arose which did her some damage. She parted one of her anchors, and her long boat was thrown ashore. The rest of the anchors held, and prevented her from being lost.
Both parties claim the victory in the late engagement between the British and French fleets. The French say, that the English had the advantage of the weather gage, which enabled them to bring all their ships to bear; while only six sail of the line were able to come into action of the French fleet.
ACTION IN THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Captain Montgomery, of the Courageux, in a Letter to the British Consul at Leghorn, gives the following account of the above affair, which differs in some degree from Admiral Hotham's dispatch.
"In the morning of the 14th, a favorable wind arising, and the French not having formed their line to come to Action, Admiral Hotham made signal for a general chase. Two English ships, the Captain and the Bedford, were sent to attack the Censeur and the Ca Ira, which were detached from the enemy's line. A brisk action immediately commenced, but after a severe firing, the Captain and the Bedford were obliged to desist, being much damaged in their masts and rigging. The Illustrious and the Courageux afterwards bore down on the two French ships, and after three hours of obstinate combat, we had the pleasure of seeing them strike their colours. The Illustrious fought bravely, and was reduced to a similar state with us. The Courageux is mentioned as having lost her foremast, bowsprit, and topmasts, and to have received much damage in her hull; but I know nothing of her loss in men. Ours amounts to 15 killed and 40 wounded. The Ca Ira was wholly dismasted, and lost 400 men. The Censeur lost her mainmast, and had many men killed. The rest of the French fleet passed along our line with a favourable wind. Our fleet has in general suffered but little. I believe that Admiral Hotham will go to St. Florenzo, and that the French fleet will return to their own coasts. The enemy had from five to six thousand men on board, with a train of field pieces. They were also provided with furnaces, and fired red-hot balls."
LONDON, May 4.
The proceedings of the French Convention on the 23d of April complete the series to the 25th. The proceedings of the 27th are also received. From these it appears that things begin to assume a calmer and steadier tone, both in the Convention and in Paris. The pacifications with the Chouans was ratified on the 27th. The Chiefs who signed it undertook to answer for the submission of their followers, who refused to accede to the terms accepted by Charette. It is now clear that there could have been no foundation for the report of Charette's having endeavoured to impose upon the Convention, and of an enquiry into his conduct having been ordered.
To have extinguished a most destructive Civil War, detached from the Allied Powers one of their principal members, and conciliated the good will and confidence of Neutral Nations, whatever our Ministers may talk about preserving the accustomed relations of peace and amity, will be recorded as the acts of a vigorous, and as far as these acts go, of a wise government.
New Rule of Court with respect to Attorneys.
Lord Chief Justice KENYON, last term, laid down a new rule from the Bench, which, he said, had been adopted by all the Courts in Westminster Hall. The substance of it was— "That after the first day of this present Easter Term, what is called the ISSUE MONEY, in all penal actions, should not be paid as formerly, on delivering the issue to the defendant, but should be taxed with the costs." According to the former practice, if, when the issue was delivered, the issue-money was not paid, either from the forgetfulness of the defendant's attorney, or from the poverty of his client, the prosecutor might sign judgment, which could not be set aside without considerable expence. The consequence was, that many practisers, who disgrace the profession by their misconduct, often bro't qui tam actions, for which there was not the least foundation, solely for the purpose of getting the issue-money, which often amounts to a considerable sum, as the pleadings in such actions, generally run out to a great length; and the moment they received the issue-money they dropped the action.
This excellent regulation, therefore, will operate as a powerful check on Pettifoggers, who made a livelihood by such dishonourable practices. As the issue-money is now to constitute an item in the taxed costs, it is to be presumed that no qui tam action will be commenced that has not some foundation; as the attorney can get no money till he comes to the conclusion of the suit, and gets his costs taxed.
The DAUPHIN and his SISTER.
The following are the particulars of the present situation of the children of Louis XVI, in the Temple.

They have not the least communication with each other, nor do they know that both of them are in one and the same place. Sometimes they are allowed, one at a time, to take the air by walking on the galleries of the Tower of the Temple, but they must never go into the front facing the square, nor into the garden.
On the 16th March, a public funeral, accompanied by another person, visited the son of Louis XVI. When they entered the apartment they found him sitting at the table, supporting his head with his hands. He did not look much at those who came in, and rather stared at them. Being asked if he would dine? he only replied yes. His visitors were then brought him, they consisted of two dishes of meat, one fish-dish, and his dessert. He both ate and drank heartily. They endeavored to raise his spirits, but to no purpose. After dinner, his visitors began to sing songs, but the Dauphin would not join them. Being asked to give a song, he made no reply. They then took him by the hand, and danced about with him, but he seemed little pleased with his diversion. He only played a little with a lap dog which the public functionary had brought with him. They brought him his afternoon's tea, and his supper, but all the while he continued to be low-spirited.
The same public functionary visited on the 17th of March, the daughter of Louis XVI, who lives one story higher than her brother. Her apartment is very neatly furnished, and well arranged by herself. She herself desired to have no person in her company. When the officer entered the apartment, the princess was knitting cotton stockings. One only cast a single look on the officer on his entrance, and continued her work. To the different questions he was asked, the only answer by yes or no. When the officer told her that the cotton would make fine stockings, she replied, yes, pretty fine ones! The princess, in other respects, loves to read, has books, an harpsichord, &c. and receives almost the same visitors as her brother.
The Dauphin is now frequently seen at the windows of the Temple, but his spirits seem to be much depressed by his confinement. A painter lately took his portrait, and fixed it on the altar of liberty.
The young princess in the Temple is now called Madame, and not Citoyenne. When they address the Dauphin, it is always by thou. The princess has grown very much lately, and is now more than five feet high.
DUBLIN, April 9. On Thursday the 26th of March, there was a meeting of the Freemen of Londonderry, legally convened by the mayor, at which an address to the king relative to the removal of Earl Fitzwilliam, being proposed and seconded, was negatived. Resolutions relative to the Catholic question were then proposed; whereupon a gentleman moved that the mayor should leave the chair, which motion was carried, and the meeting broke up. This vexed the partisans of Mr. C-y, who had written to his friends to obtain and attend the meeting. They endeavored therefore to prevail on the mayor to give them a second meeting; this he refused; & on Thursday last about one hundred persons, some of whom were Catholics, and others (although Protestants yet not freemen) signed a requisition to Mr. Lecky and Dr. Ferguson, to hold a meeting that day; they accordingly have done so; resolutions were entered into, and no person attended to oppose them, as the meeting was considered informal, and the question previously decided.
All the loans taken in rent for Louis XVIII, have been purchased by government. The produce has (we suppose without the sanction of the young king that is to be) been applied to the assistance of the French emigrants in this country.
PARIS. Extract of a letter from Citizen Barthélemy to the Committee of Public Safety. [Translated from the Moneur of April 12.]
"The reasons assigned by Count Goltz for not removing, according to my wish, the seat of our negotiations from Balle to Paris, are as follows: 1st. He thinks it would be very difficult for us, amidst the battle and intrigues of that metropolis sufficiently to insulate ourselves for the settling of important business; and, 2dly, he says, it cannot be denied, that there still exists a tail of the Austrian Committee, extending as far as Paris, which would exert its utmost efforts to clog the negotiations, and to impede their success."
CHARENTON'S TREATY. The following are the principal articles, finally settled on the 7th March. Art. I. The Representatives of the people promise, that the sum of eighty millions shall be granted to the inhabitants of La Vendée, to indemnify them for the losses, burnings, and devastations they have suffered. Art. II. Forty millions, on account of
that sum, shall be immediately paid to be distributed. Art. III. All the engagements ( bons ) underwritten by the Generals of La Vendée, shall be discharged by the Republic. Art. IV. The sum of ten millions shall be deposited for that purpose. Art. V. The inhabitants of La Vendée acknowledge the Republic. Art. VI. Gen. Charette shall have the command of a body of 2000 men, in the pay of the Republic. Art. VII. That force shall consist of three battalions; the one to be stationed at Machecoul, the second at Chalons, and the third at another place, to be determined afterwards. Art. VIII. A list shall be made of such persons as are to be banished from La Vendée; that list to be drawn and presented by Gen. Charette. Art. IX. The free exercise of the Catholic Worship shall be permitted. A place may be punctuated for the building of a Church; but there shall be no bells, nor any exterior ceremonies. Art. X. The Priest, Nonjurors ( infortunes ) and banished, may return to La Vendée, and restored to their patrimonial estates only. Art. XI. There shall be in La Vendée no districts nor municipalities, but only a national agent in every province. Art. IX. There shall be no requisitions in La Vendée for the space of five years.
April 8. The late measures of the Convention, and the appointment at a committee of constitution to prepare for us a regular system of government, have gained the confidence of the people to such a degree, that they now bear the scarcity and dearth of provision without a murmur. At the theatres the verdicts, Representans d'un peuple juste O vous! Législateurs humains, &c. are applauded with transport. The credit of our paper is daily improving. A Louis d'or, which on the 31st ult. cost 270 livres in assignats, fell on the 2d inst. to 200; and yesterday, and to day, the price was 160. A box for the foreign ministers is fixed up in the hall of the Convention on the left of the President, in which several of them have attended for some days past. This day 15,000,000 of assignats were burnt, making the whole sum cancelled 2,652,683,020.
No more groups are observed in the streets or public places, a proof that the fermentation is over for the present. Rumours for peace are daily gaining ground. It was yesterday reported, we know not upon what authority, that Holland is not to be evacuated. It is, however, certain, that the committees of government have sent a declaration to the representatives of the people with the armies of the North and Sambre and Meuse, in which the idea of giving to France the boundaries marked out by nature, is abandoned.
April 9. Eleven financiers, among whom are Lecouleur de Cantelan, Dupont, de Nemours, and Mounier, are daily employed on the means of reducing the quantity of assignats in circulation. The prices of gold and silver continue falling. The Louis d'or, is now at 135. But the price of provisions continues as high as ever. All the letters from the departments announce that the slowness of national justice induces the people to take into their own hands the punishment of the terrorists who are every where infested and maltreated. We have an account of immense quantities of corn and provisions arrived at Marseilles. On the 26th ult. alone 55 vessels came into the port.
April 10. In consequence of rumours of an intended insurrection, the patroles were doubled, but no attempt was made to disturb the public peace.
April 11. For some days no persons have been admitted into the galleries of the Convention without producing their cards of surety, and since then the galleries have been almost empty, from which it has been inferred that they were before filled with persons who could give no account of themselves. The arrival of 14 ships with corn at Dunkirk gives hopes of returning plenty, but there are still many embarrassments in the transport of provisions to Paris, because every commune through which they pass, intercepts a partial relief, which it is difficult to refuse to citizens, whose wants have been greater and longer felt than ours.
April 12. Every thing being now perfectly quiet, the patroles are reduced to their usual number. It is very confidently said, that peace with Spain, Sardinia, and Naples, is actually signed; an armistice agreed upon with Austria; and that several columns of our armies are under orders to return home.
April 13. The distribution of bread is still the same; and yet amid the general scarcity luxury rears its head. In the morning the streets are filled with poor women crowding to the Baker's shops; and in the evening the public walks are filled with women in all the splendor and elegance of dress—all this while we are throwing our dogs and cats, the faithful companions of our fire side, into the Seine, for want of wherewithal to feed them. Pleasure horses and gilded carriages appear upon the Boulevards. Will it always be the fate of Paris to
bring together the most opposite extremes, and to exhibit the most shocking misery by the side of the most sumptuous opulence? The author of the political correspondence is taken into custody, by order of the committee of general safety, on a charge of writing an eulogy upon Louis XVI, and lamenting the abolition of monarchy. Bourdon of Oise is preparing to set out on his mission to St. Domingo. He has made choice of general Demuy to accompany him.
April 14. We were long under great alarm for the fate of a squadron that failed from Brest. We are now informed of its safe arrival at Toulon. It consisted of six ships of the line, five frigates and two brigs. This, we trust, will give us a superiority over the English in the Mediterranean, which, if peace with Spain should be concluded, as we think it must very soon, they will not be able to wrest from us.
WHITEHALL, April 11. The King has been pleased to grant the dignity of Baronet of the kingdom of Great Britain, to John Westwater, Esq. Lieutenant Governor of the Province of Nova-Scotia, in America, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten.
MADRID, Feb. 21. Count Colomera, the dukes d'Ouna, Graulara, and Priaro, Colonel Redorge, of the Swiss, and almost all the generals of the armies of Navarre and Biscay, have been recalled. Among other changes the prince of Calle Franco, who is succeeded, by the duke d'Ouna, has been appointed commander in chief of the army of Navarre. It is reported, as certain, that orders are sent to general Urrutia, to fall back with his whole force to Barcelona and defend it at all events. The rest of the province is to be left to the armed peasantry and volunteers. We learn that the squadrons of body guards, sent to relieve the others at Vittoria, arrived there on the 15th.

It was hoped that the peace with Prussia, would have established more confidence. At present the talk is an accommodation with Spain, and even of a general peace, one of the principal conditions of which is to be the entire independence of the West-India Islands, under the guarantee of the belligerent powers. Bread is very much wanted all over Europe, of which scarcity we have not more to complain in this city than other parts of the country. Bread 6 livres the pound."
[By the Maryann.] PARIS, 14th of April, 1795. To P. F. Dobree, Esquire, Nantes. SIR, "I am directed by the Minister of the United States, to inform you, that the Emperor of Morocco, Muley Soliman, has authorized his vessels to capture those of the United States; and that in consequence, the cruisers from Salée, are to leave that port as soon as the weather will favor them, to cruise for our vessels as far as Madeira. Our Consul at Gibraltar communicated that intelligence to our Minister at London, which was confirmed by a letter received by our Consul at Falmouth. Please, therefore, to make it known as generally as you can to all the masters of vessels of our nation, within your department, and communicate it to the col-
lector of the customs of any part of the United States, by the very first vessel that fails for America. (Signed) SKIPWITH. Of the nine Deputies comprehended in the last decree of arrestation, two only have submitted to the execution of the decree; the others have fled, or hid themselves. Thuriot and Cambon have fled. Letters from Frankfort, announce that Defeze, the official defender of Louis XVI, has arrived in that City.

BOSTON, June 10. Says a Correspondent. Those who plume themselves on the idea, that citizen Adet is sent over to the United States, to oppose the ratification of Mr. Jay's treaty—and there are some weak enough thus to plume themselves—betray great ignorance of European events; citizen Adet having been appointed long before Mr. Jay's treaty was concluded.
BARRERE, & Co. Mentioned in the last Centinel, as banished from France, are to be sent to Cayenne, in South-America. Cayenne is in Guiana, whereto the refractory priests were banished in 1792.
POLVERELL. So well known for his conduct in the French West-Indies, fell dead in the Tribunal, at Paris, on the 21st April, while confronting his accusers. His body was opened, and there appeared evidences of his being assassinated to his death.

Beresford, with La Raizon and La Pervoyante, French Men of War, armed en flute.—These ships mount upwards of 20 guns each, and were part of a squadron of five sail, from Guadalupe bound to Virginia.—His majesty's ships fell in with them in lat. 38, long. 72—and after an engagement of an hour and twenty minutes three of the Frenchmen, one which had a Commodore's pendant, and mounted 40 guns, ran away, and left La Raizon and La Pervoyante in possession of our frigates. The Thetis , had eight or ten men killed and wounded. The Hussar , had none killed in the engagement, but a boy belonging to her has since died of his wounds.—The number of killed and wounded on board the French ships, we have not been able correctly to obtain; but understand the slaughter has been very great.

THE Committee appointed to negotiate a sale of the Western Lands belonging to the state of Connecticut, lying west of Pennsylvania, think proper to notify the public of their names, and the nature and extent of their powers, by publishing the following acts of the General Assembly, viz. As a General Assembly of the state of Connecticut, held at Hartford, in said state, on the second Thursday of May, A. D. 1795.

A true copy of record, examined by GEORGE WYLLYS, Sec'y. As a General Assembly of the state of Connecticut, held at Hartford, in said state, on the second Thursday of May, A. D. 1795. Resolved by this Assembly, that a Committee be appointed to receive any proposals that may be made by any person or persons, whether inhabitants of the United States, or others, for the purchase of the lands belonging to this state lying west of the west line of Pennsylvania, as claimed by said state; and the said Committee are hereby fully authorized and empowered, in the name and behalf of this state, to negotiate with any such person or persons, on the subject of any such proposals; and also to form and complete any contract or contracts for the sale of the said lands, and to make and execute, under their hands and seals, to the purchaser or purchasers, a deed or deeds duly authenticated, quitting, in behalf of this state, all right, title and interest juridical and territorial in and to the said lands, to him or them, and to his or their heirs forever.
That before the execution of such deed or deeds, the purchaser or purchasers shall give their personal note or bond payable to the treasurer of this state, for the purchase money, carrying an interest of six per centum per annum payable annually to commence from the date thereof, or from such time or period, not exceeding two years from the date, as circumstances in the opinion of the Committee may require, and as may be agreed on between the said purchaser or purchasers, with good and sufficient sureties, inhabitants of this state, or with a sufficient deposit of Bank or other Stock of the United States or of the particular states; which note or bond shall be taken payable at a period not more remote than five years from the date, or if by annual instalments, so that the last instalment be payable within ten years from the date, either in specie, or in Six per Cent.

That the said Committee, in whose manner they shall find it best to sell the said lands, whether by an entire contract or by several contracts, shall in no case, be at liberty to sell the whole quantity, for a principal sum less than One Million of dollars, in specie, or if any day of payment be given, for a sum of less value than one million of dollars, in specie, with interest at six per cent per annum from the date of such sale.

CANAL LOTTERY.
Tickets in the above Lottery, sanctioned by a law of this state, are now in rapid demand, at the office No. 149 Chestnut-Street, between Fourth and Fifth-streets, at ten dollars each, being the original price, by order of the committee for directing the above Lottery.

The Offensive Proprietor of the POLICY MANUFACTORY, No. 105, Chestnut-Street, is respectfully cautioned against feigning upon the Public his anomalous Publication.—That Public are too discerning to be lured into his Policy Bazaar, under the plausible advantages held forth by this modern Judas—for a small sum to gain an immense fortune of SIXTY THOUSAND CYPHERS!!!

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 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. 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 constitution.
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 revision 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 fair disposal of the tickets, has rendered the most suspension indispensable.

BOOKS. PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No. 118, Market Street, 1. Charlotte, a tale of truth, By Mrs Rowson, of the New Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Review, April 1791, p. 468. It may be a tale of truth, or it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, recommended to a school from humanity rather than a conviction of her integrity of 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 artful and affecting—the descriptions natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who, for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment. It is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

History of the French Revolution, from its commencement to the death of the Queen and the execution of Brissot. Two dollars.  EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE. The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge themselves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whoever were the authors or actors, marked in its proper colors. If it was necessary to make a declaration of their own principles, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as English wings, and execrate every criminal act by which so noble a cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hope of seeing this claim universally acknowledged. On the contrary, they are well assured that these pages will not be acceptable to the zealots of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive. EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12. We have certainly derived much pleasure, and acquired much information from the perusal of these volumes; and we think them, both for matter and style, worthy the attention of all who interest themselves in events which have so justly excited the curiosity and astonishment of mankind."
