Contre les Terroristes, Paroles de J. M. Souriguère, Musique de P. Gaveaux, Artiste du Théâtre de la Rue Feydeau, à la nouveauté, chez les Frères Gaveaux, Mds. de Musique & d'Instruments, passage du Théâtre Feydeau, No. 2.
Pierremont et Marqué. Peuple François, Peuples de Frères; Peux tu voir sans fremir d'horreur Le crime arborer les bannieres, Du carnage et de la terreur. Tu souffres que ne horde atroce Et d'assassins et de brigands, Bouille par ton souffle feroce, Le territoire des vivans.
Quelle est cette lecture barbare! Hâte toi Peuple souverain, De rendre aux monstres de ténars Tous ces bûcheurs de sang humain; Guerre à tous les agens du crime! Pourfuivons les jusq'au trespas; Partages l'horreur qui m'anime, Ils ne nous échapperont pas. (au Ref.)
Ah! qu'ils périssent ces infames Et ces égorgers dévorans Qui portent au fond de leur âme, Le crime et l'amour des tyrans! Mânes plaintifs de l'innocence, Appaisez vous dans vos tombeaux, Le jour tardif de la vengeance Fait enfin pâler vos bourreurs. (Ref.)
Voyez déjà commets frémissent; Ils n'osent fuir les scelerats... Les traces du sang qu'ils vomissent Déceleroient bien-tôt leurs pas. Oui, nous jurons sur votre tombe, Par notre pays malheureux, De ne faire qu'un hécatombe, De ces cannibales affreux. (Ref.)
Réveillons d'un Peuple juste, O vous Législateurs humains! De qui la contenance anguste Fait trembler nos vils assaillins, Suivez le cours de votre gloire Vos noms chers à l'humanité, Volent au temple de mémoire, Au sein de l'immortalité.
Vive la République. We invite a Translation.
An IMITATION OF SPENCER.
But what most shewed the vanity of life, Was to behold the nations all on fire— In cruel broils engag'd, and deadly strife— With honourable ruffians in their hive, Cause war to rage, and blood around to pour. Of this sad work when each begins to tire, They sit them down just where they were before, Till for new scenes of woe peace shall their strength restore. Thomson.
(Concluded from last Saturday's Gazette.)
I SHALL be short; for to say much more on that head would be rather disgusting, and not at all entertaining. However, I must again set your bone a-going—on your knuckles, Sir Peter, if you please, until you confess your malice and repeat! After all, who knows but you might be regenerated into a good democrat, if you could become the friend of truth, and promise never to offend her any more: then you should be fed at first with the pap of Common Sense, and afterwards (provided you would grow a good boy) you should be indulged with the Rights of Man. But, how to rely with security on the faith of an aristocrat? it is in vain to hope for his reformation, or to expect any good from him. Sincerity, good faith, lenity, benevolence, and love of mankind, are virtues which form the very antipodes of aristocracy; the prominent features of which are deceit, hypocrisy, perfidy, cruelty, a crafty selfishness, and an universal contempt and hatred for his fellow-creatures. An aristocrat is a Nero who would rejoice to see the world in a blaze of devouring flames, was he assured his person and property would receive no injury: he is a Caligula who would wish to see all the heads cut off at a single stroke, that he might enjoy alone the blessings of the earth! he is a compound of all vices, covered with the robe of virtue: he will commit crimes of the most horrible nature, and with his brazen face accuse the innocent of the commission of them. In fine, he will massacre with one hand one half of the world, that he might with the other hand punish the other half of the monstrous atrocities he has himself been guilty of.
This has been literally the case in France. Aristocracy, like an enormous serpent, had entwisted itself around the people of that nation. And was sucking at leisure the blood of each individual:—when their substance became exhausted; aristocracy began a revolution under the mask of popularity; and what was at first a single serpent in appearance, suddenly became a prodigious number of inakes of every shape, of every colour, tumultuously contending among themselves their prey, the people; who finding their salvation in resistance only, opposed them with all their might. A bloody contest ensued: great numbers were slain on both sides: it continued for five years together: but at last we see that the people have vanquished, and that they have exterminated all the inakes except those who found their safety in flight, and their security and preservation along with Porcupine and his adherents, &c. &c.
This flight sketch of our misfortunes in France will enable any person who has taken the pains to read it, to understand how unjust it is, and how cruel it must be to the feelings of the most amiable and loving nation in Europe, to see themselves vilified in the mind and opinion of those the enemies and cherishes, in addition to the already insuperable burthen of the enmity of all the nations of the world which are unhappily influenced by the selfish views of their governments.
Now, Sir Peter, I shall take my leave of you; for being almost poisoned by the handling of your bone, I shall take the liberty to hang it at your bosom, and leave you to shine alone by this dignifying ensignia. I am going to wash my hands—A. Aeu. A BANS CULOTTES.
BARBADOES, June 23.
The last engagement which happened at Grenada (according to the last accounts from thence) took place on the 12th inst. The insurgents, in great force, assembled on a height near Guyana towards night-fall evidently with a design of attacking a post there which they knew to be weak. However Maj. McLean of the 68th regiment, a very brave officer who commanded there, was determined to be before hand with them; he therefore marched off sixty men, and very unexpectedly attacked the enemy's rear with fixed bayonets, which caused them to fly in all directions and retreat with the loss of from a 100 to 120 men, who were all bayoneted without a single shot being fired, or the loss of a man on our side.
A few days prior to this engagement, the Insurgents surprised and took prisoners a Serjeant, three privates and a small number of negroes, detached from our posts at Gouyave, and conducted them to Fedon, the Republican General, in camp, who immediately shot the white prisoners with his own pistols, exclaiming that—he wished he could exterminate the whole English nation in the like manner. The throats of the Negro prisoners were ordered to be cut by the Mulatto women in the camp which was immediately executed.
On Sunday last arrived in the ship Supply, capt. Meriton, from London, the Hon. Sir Francis Ford, Bart. a member of his Majesty's Council of this Island.
Yesterday arrived his Majesty's cutter brig Drake of 18 guns, one of the convoy to the West-India fleet; which sailed from Portsmouth on the 35th of May; also ships Zephyr, of St. Vincent, and Fanny of St. Kitt's, which were part of the above fleet, but being separated in a gale of wind on the 27th, proceeded on their voyage. The Fanny was spoke on the 8th inst. by three British line of battle ships, with a great number of troops on board, but could not learn their destination although enquiry was made.
It is now probable that the above West-India fleet, with the long wished for reinforcement, may arrive in the course of the succeeding week:—this fleet we are informed, consists of about 170 sail, and the reinforcement of 7,000 men,—their arrival cannot be more opportune than at the present time, wherein death and destruction is dealt around by the savage invaders of our sister colonies, who are struggling under the last resource of hope, to support the unequal contest.
TWO O'CLOCK.
The Alarm guns have just been fired at Pilgrim, and the Town bells sounded,—we are consequently called off from the duty of the Printing Office, to that of a Soldier: the publication of the Mercury must therefore be postponed until to morrow morning.
WEDNESDAY MORNING.
The alarm raised yesterday, was occasioned by the appearance of a small fleet to windward, which although consisting of but five vessels, rendered it proper at this critical period, to call out the strength of the island, least by the temerity of our enemies they should be impelled to invade a land determined to repel them—The above vessels soon came to in Carlisle bay, and proved to be a part of the expected fleet; when the alarm was discharged.
There was however another alarm raised early this morning in consequence of a number of other vessels heaving in sight. At twelve o'clock this alarm was also discharged, by which time a large part of the same fleet came into port.
The consequent delay of our publication from the above causes, affords us an opportunity of furnishing our readers with intelligence received yesterday evening by the Mail boat, Capt. Dawson, which although of a most disagreeable nature, it is not, we trust, improper to be communicated in a country where Liberty and Loyalty are characteristically distinguished.
This intelligence states that, the Brigands from Guadalupe, who landed at Dominico on the 5th inst. (it is worthy remark that it was on that day twelvemonth which they invaded Guadalupe) had formed a camp at a place called Petit Gouave, and were to have been attacked there by the Militia on the 17th inst. (until which time they were suffered to remain unmolested) when, they being found too formidable, the intention was dropped: It appears that their number when first landed, did not amount to 300, but that they afterwards received several reinforcements from Guadalupe, which with a number of Democratic inhabitants who joined them, rendered their strength so great as to give serious alarm to the inhabitants and cause numbers of them to emigrate from thence, capt. Dawson having seen several vessels full of men, women and children, who were going to take refuge at Martinico from the impending danger.
The affairs of St. Lucia have come to a more final issue;—the soldiery (we can scarce call them British) have fled from their post, and abandoned the island to their Sans Culotte assailants; and disgraceful to relate, left a number of their countrymen a prey to the rapacity of their blood thirsty enemy. The evacuation of St. Lucia took place on the 19th inst.—so great a mystery hangs over this event, that we cannot state the particulars relative to it; certain it is, however, that something disgraceful attends it. Letters which we have seen, from Martinico, mention it with disgust: our correspondent there, assures us that a considerable quantity of powder was left behind in the garrison, and not a gun spiked on its being abandoned.—Several soldiers who were not apprized of the retreat, were inhumanly murdered by the Brigands on taking possession of the place, and their bodies thrown over the walls of the garrison amidst the shouts of Vive la Republique.
Tous fland affairs: Guadalupe long since retaken; Martinico attempted. St. Lucia abandoned. Grenada ruined. St. Vincents laid waste. Antigua unsafe: and Dominico on the verge of being lost.
In the midst of this calamitous situation to which the West-Indies are now reduced, Barbadoes still remains secure.
How long this may be, the virtue of her sons can only determine. United, powerful, and resolved, they fear no foreign invasion, nor know no internal foe;—she therefore is safe;—she therefore must be secure.
INTERESTING FACT.
One of the letters from Mr. Jay to lord Grenville in the famous correspondence between them relative to the treaty, sufficiently shews to whom the exclusive merit of this extraordinary instrument belongs. In that letter Mr. Jay informs lord Grenville that after returning from the interview of the evening before with his lordship, it had occurred to him, that he (Mr. Jay) would probably have more leisure than his lordship, whose time was too much occupied by the other momentous concerns of a great nation, and therefore he had set down and prepared the heads of such a treaty between Great Britain and the United States, as he conceived would be mutually advantageous to both countries, and had taken the Liberty to enclose the same for his lordship's consideration. This letter was answered by lord Grenville a day or two afterwards, when, apologizing to Mr. Jay for unavoidable delay occasioned by other important engagements, and complimenting him for his diplomatic talents, he returned the heads of the treaty with a single alteration or addition to the 12th article containing the prohibition which now appears in that article on the export trade of the United States, assuring Mr. Jay, that with that single modification the sketch or heads of the treaty proposed by Mr. Jay, met his (lord Grenville's) entire approbation.
Quere.—Is it not presumable from the foregoing fact that Mr. Jay carried a treaty with him ready prepared from our government, and does not the treaty itself evidence the title, the language, the feelings and the politics of the late secretary of the treasury, who, it is well known expected himself to have been the envoy extraordinary!

NEW-YORK, July 21.
Yesterday at noon, agreeable to adjournment from Saturday last, a numerous body of citizens opposed to the treaty, lately negotiated with Great-Britain, assembled at the City-Hall. Col. Smith was again chosen chairman. The committee nominated at the last meeting were approved of; who then reported a number of resolutions disapproving of the Treaty, which were severally read and passed by the meeting. The friends of the treaty and of a further discussion of its merits, who on their last meeting by their considerable numbers, created so great a division, and who caused such violent proceedings from their opponents, had previously agreed to leave a field of so much unpleasant contention, and to express their sentiments in some other and more peaceable mode.
We were not able to procure a copy of the resolutions passed in time for this day.
COOPERSTOWN, July 10.
Saturday last, being the Anniversary of the Birth day of American Liberty, was characteristically dedicated to Festivity and Joy, by the real Federal republicans of Cooperstown and its vicinity.
A Federal dinner was prepared for the occasion, by Landlord Griffin—well-stored with "the fatness of the goodly Land of Otsego," the genuine juice of the Grape flood invitingly smiling, in full bumper, soliciting the Fraternal Kiss, from every patriotic lip—The table was encircled by the legitimate sons of Freedom—a loaded cannon stood at the door, impatient to announce the twentieth American Jubilee—the bell hung in anxious suspension, ready to join her chime with the sonorous notes of her deep throated companion—Rational Liberty was the Order of the day—Jacobinism, Aristocracy and Modern Democracy, were ordered to lie under the Table—the following Toasts were drank, after dinner, under, discharges of cannon, the shouts of the people, and the smiles of the Goddesses of LIBERTY.
 1. The DAY, and all who honor it. 3 Cheers.  2. The Martyrs to Liberty.  3. The Statesmen and Heroes of '76.  4. The Champions of Rational Liberty throughout the Globe.  5. The President of the United States. 9 Cheers.  6. JOHN JAY—May his administration and strength to the Friends, and mortification to the enemies of the Federal Government. 6 Cheers.  7. Disappointment and chagrin to all clubs who obtrude their detestable jargon in the place of Municipal Authority. 3 Cheers.  8. The Treaty of Amity, Commerce, and Navigation, between the United States and Great Britain, as ratified by the Senate of the United States.  9. The Federal and State Legislatures—May they have Wisdom to discern, and firmness to pursue, the interests of their constituents. 3 Cheers.  10. The American Fair. 3 Cheers.  11. May the enemies of America never eat her bread or kiss her Girls.  12. The Respectable Majority of the State of New-York.  13. Our Allies in Europe.  14. The Plough, the Loom and the Sail of America. 3 Cheers.  14. THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION—May it ever remain an everlasting monument of the Wisdom and Patriotism of its founders. 
BOSTON, July 16.
TOWN-MEETING.
On Monday last, at 10 o'clock, agreeably to the adjournment on Friday, the inhabitants of this town again met at Faneuil Hall, to receive the report of their committee appointed to draft an instrument expressing their reasons for objections to the Treaty now pending between the United States and Great-Britain; and soliciting the President to withhold his ratification of the same—there was a large assemblage of citizens on so important an occasion. The business was opened by:
Dr. JARVIS, who observed, that the committee thought it improper to pass upon the treaty before it was publicly read; and having moved the reading thereof—
The hon. Mr. DAWES, the moderator, accord-
ingly read the treaty before the citizens. The reading of the treaty being finished.
Dr. JARVIS, in the name of the committee, made a report of the resolutions they had crafted for the consideration of the town.
A motion was made to accept the report of the committee, entire:
Mr. TUDOR opposed it; he did not wish the town to pass 19 resolutions at once, and without maturely considering them; reflections had already been cast on the town, in some newspapers, for too hastily proceeding on so important a business.
Col. CRAFTS said, the Editor of the Centinel had published, that the proceedings of the town meeting on the treaty, were "cut and dried" before hand, he hoped the town would convince the world, that there was no "cutting and drying" in the business.
Mr. AUSTIN moved, that the editor of the Centinel should be sent for by the town.
Dr. JARVIS observed, that if as freemen they regarded their liberties, they should also respect the means of preserving them—that the respectability of the town of Boston could not be injured by a paragraph in a newspaper. If the town had been illiberally slandered, they were no proper tribunal for trying it—its authors were "answerable only to their God!"
Mr. A.'s motion was then withdrawn.
The resolutions reported by the committee were taken up, read and discussed, by paragraphs; and unanimously passed, as the sense of the town.
See Monday's Gazette.
PRIVATEERING—IN CHARACTER.
Capt. FARLEY, from St. Martins, brought the following memorial, which he was desired to have inserted, in the Newspapers:
April 23d, sailed from Baltimore, in the Theresa, belonging to Champain and Deyme, for Barbadoes, and a market, with flour and hoops. May 23d, was brought too by a National brig Caira, of 18 guns, Capt. Lebœ, from Guadalupe, then in lat. 17, 56, long. 62, 58. Being ordered to hoist out my boat, I told them, it was impossible, as she was leaky and much lumbered. They swore, they would fire upon me immediately, if I did not obey them; and while I was clearing my boat actually fired at my vessel; the shot, however, passed without injuring us. As soon as possible, I went on board with my papers, when observing my clearance was for Barbadoes, they asked for my letters—I told them, I had none. They then sent seven people on board my Schooner, detaining me and my crew in the brig—they there searched every chest, trunk, case, locker, and place they could suspect, and finding no letters, swore the owner's brother, who was on board, and who was lived a clerk in Baltimore, was an Aristocrat, and that we were going with provisions to the English. They brought him on board the brig, and put him with myself, as prisoners into the cabin—Capt. Lebœ, taking all my papers; and ordering my mate to follow him with the Schooner, or he would sink her. They then bore away. In the night they ran foul of the Schooner—the brig's jib boom and bowsprit, passing through the Schooner's mainstay, which being new, carried away the boom tackle, tack rope, &c. and tore the sail from the gaff to the boom; and injuring the Schooner so as to make her very leaky. May 2 d, anchored in St. Martin's Great Bay. A strong guard was put on board my Schooner, where I also requested to go to shift myself; but was told, I was a prisoner, and should not. A search was again made on board my vessel for papers, &c. and one officer, observing a small crack, in one of the mouldings—he tore off part of it, swearing papers had been there. Mr. Champain and myself were brought to the commissaries, without shifting or having; and separately examined. I was asked, if my owner was a Frenchman—if the cargo belonged to him—Why I cleared out for Barbadoes, &c. As it was clear I was bound to an English port, my answers had no effect: As I found I should go again prisoner on board the Ca Ira, I demanded leave to go on board the Schooner and shift myself; but was denied. I even asked liberty to sead on board, but in vain. On the 24th, the captain gave me leave to go on board my vessel. When I got on board the Schooner, I found her thumping on a large anchor, I asked the officer on board to move her, as I knew her bottom was damaged, for she made much water. But could not persuade the Officers, or get leave to move her myself. Our water being out, on the 27th, I went under guard to the Commissary, who then granted me leave to get water, or any necessaries from on shore, or the American vessels. This day, Mr. Champain was sent a prisoner to Guadalupe. I demanded canvas and twine from the Commissary, to mend my main sail; he said he had none. May 29th, the Ca Ira being gone, I got the harbor master to assist in moving my vessel, which he did, but she had received so much damage, as to be very leaky. I have several times inquired of the Commissary, what was to be done with my vessel, but received no satisfaction. June 21st, being sent for by George Bruce, tavern keeper, who calls himself a Virginian, to whom I had entrusted some letters and papers, I had received from my owners, after opening them before several Americans, among whom was capt. Davis of Boston. A Mr. Richards told Mr. Bruce he would be sent to Guadalupe and be guillotined, for concealing letters, whereupon he gave me the letters, which I put in my pockets, when Bruce, went out and brought in a number of Frenchmen, and told them, I had papers and letters against the Republic. I was directly taken to the guard house, and every paper and letter taken out of my pockets; and all carried to the Commissary. What will be the event I know not.

CHARLESTON, July 2.
Yesterday arrived Schooner John Jasper, Washington, 5 days; sloop Olinda, Cameren, Havana, 10 days; Schooner Eliza, Clarke, Edenton, 15 days; sloop Venus, Luscomb, Savannah, 2 days.
By the pilot who brought up last evening the prize-master of the ship Britannia, now lying at anchor off the bar, we are informed, that that ship, burthen 540 tons and upwards, drawing 19 feet water and having a cargo on board of 515 hogheads of sugar, 160 puncheons of rum, pimento, and other West-India produce, is a prize to the brig Vengeur, Capt. Carvine.
That the brig now at anchor off the fort, a Liverpool vessel, of Kingston, loaded with coffee, cotton, sugar, and rum, is likewise a prize to captain Carvine.
By a gentleman who arrived last evening from Savannah, we learn, that another prize-ship of Capt. Carvine's had arrived at Savannah, which he had seen, her burthen equally great and her cargo valuable, with the Britannia.
These three prizes were taken from among the Jamaica fleet of 150 sail, seen in the early part of last month by Capt. Lincoln of the brig Industry, and by Capt. Vickary, of the ship Tryal, on the

26th ult. They were taken in the day, in sight of a frigate, one of the convoy, which shewed no inclination to rescue them.
The three prizes are computed to be worth 100,000.
The Britannia has 6 guns and 20 men. The prize-master came up for lighters to lighten the ship, and enable her to come over the bar.
A small ship was seen to leeward of the Britannia last evening.
The brig Vengeur and the Carmagnole have both arrived 3 days ago in Savannah.
In the sloop Venus came passengers, Mrs. La-roque, and two children, Capt. Hisham, Capt. Woodworth, Mr. Sheall, and three French gentlemen.
A French privateer brig, supposed to be the Intrépide, of 16 guns, and that has now been upwards of 4 months out, had taken 18 prizes, 16 of which she had burnt and ordered the other two for Savannah, one of which, a brig, had arrived there.
We are informed that a Captain Antoine, of a French privateer, in Savannah, has had the masts of his vessels cut away by the citizens, in consequence of his improper treatment of American vessels.
By Capt. Cameron we are informed that about the 15th ult. twelve vessels, convoyed by a frigate and a schooner, left the Havannah with 350 troops for New-Orleans.
CHARLESTON, July 9.
On Tuesday night last, six men, charged with criminal offences, and confined in the gaol of this city, contrived to cut a hole through the roof, from which they descended by the aid of ropes which they had manufactured out of the tow with which their mattresses were stuffed; the rope broke with the last one, named Eckels, who fell, and was considerably hurt; the noise of his fall alarmed the gaoler; several deputies of the sheriff pursued those who had escaped; they retook three, viz. Campbell, Ains and Crofts; the two others, named Bryant and Robinson, are yet at large.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman at St. Mary's, to his friend in Savannah, June 30.
"On my arrival yesterday, I found that the several families who had been drove from East-Florida last fall by that government, had lately returned there, under the influence of the tri-coloured flag, to which the people are flocking from every part of the province; in short they are in a complete state of revolt. A capt. Lang commands at present the republicans; he has taken the greater part of the Spanish fort, all the active spies in the employ of the old government, a large number of beef cattle, and other public provisions; and I have no doubt but that, in the course of three or four days, they will have full possession of the whole province, except the garrison of St. Augustine. Lang was a Spanish subject, and a captain of their militia, but had been confined in the dungeon of Augustine for eleven months; on suspicion of being favourable to the French government; he made his escape from confinement, and is now at the head of the revolt; he has marched this day with the greater part of his force for St. Augustine; he has left a guard at Old Town Bluff, where they are erecting a garrison for the protection of the port of St. Mary's. I am just now returned from visiting them, which I did for the purpose of collecting their views and their prospects; they assured me that they had the strongest assurances of ample support, and that they had already received considerable supplies. I cannot pretend to say what influence this affair will have on the affairs of our country, but it will effectually close my commercial views with that province."
Extract of a letter from St. Augustine, to a gentleman in this city, dated 29th June, 1795.
"We are badly situated here; but for fear the letter may be stopped and perused, I dare not tell you the various alarms some are under. Poor capt. Heriveux is close shut up in a dungeon, and all his men; and I fancy it will require some spirited exertions of the French consul to get them liberated, if death does not do it without. We have all been sick, owing chiefly, I believe, to having nothing but a little very bad beef to live upon."
The person who received the above letter, says he has indubitable information, that a large majority of the people in St. Augustine, and the two Floridas, are much dissatisfied with the Spanish government, and will undoubtedly succeed in their attempt to throw it off, if they are supported by the French with any degree of spirit.
At a meeting of the inhabitants of the city of Savannah, at the city hall, on Thursday the 24th day of July, 1795; Mrs. Stephens was called to the chair.
WHEREAS, from the mischiefs which the people of St. Domingo, and other French islands have experienced, from the insurrection of their negroes and people of colour, the precautions taken by the people of South-Carolina, and of the British West-India islands, to prevent the importation or landing of any such negroes or mulattoes amongst them, and the information the citizens now assembled have received, that a vessel is now lying at Cockpit, recently from Kingston, with near one hundred negroes on board, whose landing may be dangerous to the inhabitants of this state, with the daily expectation of many more; therefore, to prevent the evils that may arise from suffering people of this description, under any pretence whatever, from being introduced amongst us, the citizens pledge themselves unanimously to support the city council in any salutary measures they may adopt; and agreed upon the following resolutions, viz.
Resolved, That any vessel that has arrived, or may arrive, in this port, with seasoned negroes, or people of colour, from any of the West-India, windward, leeward, or Bahama islands, East or West-Florida, or any other port whatever, with seasoned negroes, or people of colour, who have been one month in the said islands, or East or West-Florida, shall not be permitted to come over the bar, nor anchor within the anchorage ground of this port; and in case any vessel having such negroes or people of colour on board, shall come over the bar, such vessel shall be immediately ordered to depart; and in case of failure to depart in such term as shall be prescribed by the city council, then the said vessel and slaves shall be sent to sea, by an order of the said council, under the hand and seal of the mayor, or any two of the aldermen, in conformity to the said order, at the expence of the owners of the said vessel and cargo.
An application of Monsieur Borel to council, to land negroes of the description above alluded to, was read to the people, who unanimously advised the rejection thereof.
The citizens recommended the foregoing resolutions to be made known on the sea coast, and pledge themselves to support a committee of inspection, to be appointed in each ward, to carry the laws and regulations into effect. The following were then appointed a committee of inspection, agreeably to the recommendation of the inhabitants: Dr. John Brickell, Owen Owens, Matthew Johnson, Justus H. Schuber, Joseph Roberts, Robert Bolton, James Robertson, William Lewden, George Jones, Nichol Turnbull, William Moore, John Armour, William H. Spencer, Peter S. Laffitte, James Clark, Thomas Hogg, Robert Watts, William Belcher, William Coales, and Frederick Shick, whose duty it shall be to superintend their different wards, and enforce the regulations agreed on by the
citizens and the city council; and all the city constables and other officers are required to aid and assist the said committee of inspection in respect to the said resolutions.
NEW-BRUNSWICK, July 20.
It is matter of regret, that matter of regret, that many citizens are extremely lavish of their censure against Mr. Jay, in consequence of the supposed demerits of the treaty. It evinces a most glaring deficiency in point of charitable sentiment, and an equal want of common-justice. Whatever may be the result of any undertaking, if the individual who embarks in it, is unsuccessful, after having made every possible effort to obtain his object, must ever be viewed by every liberal and ingenuous mind as meriting, in every respect, that esteem, confidence and commendation, which mankind are ready to bestow on those who engage in a mission that has a more fortunate issue. While the treaty was undergoing a discussion before the Senate, copies of the whole correspondence between Jay and Grenville were laid before them. In this correspondence, every concession which equity could warrant in favour of this country, was most strenuously urged by our Envoy; but as oblinately withheld on the part of Britain.—If advantageous terms for this country could not be obtained it was undoubtedly Mr. Jay's duty to submit to such stipulations as Great-Britain thought proper to accede to, if not totally repugnant to our interests, and to annex his signature thereto: but if ultimately sanctioned by the President and Senate, and its principles found not to accord with the sentiments of the people, or to be destructive of their rights, then where must the censure rest?—Every soul that is not incapable of justice, or shamefully warped by prejudice, will not rashly cast it upon an individual whose whole life has been devoted to the service of his country, and for whose exertions he is much indebted, who is acknowledged to be a man of the most distinguished abilities, and whose patriotism and integrity are unquestionable.
WIT and CANDOR!
From a Portsmouth (N. H.) paper of 9th Inst.
COMMUNICATION.
A correspondent observes that some forty or fifty years past, when he was a boy, he used to catch Jays, with a board fixed with hair on it, so as to ensnare the bird when he came to take the corn laid on it for that purpose.—Our modern JAY, is not caught with the same sort of a trap, for instead of a board, a Treaty is substituted, and instead of corn, he probably is caught with British gold? If the last Gun, in the Senate, which ought to have been loaded with indignation, had gone off, there would have been an end of the world. God bless the ten noble Independent Nays! CAIRA.
PHILADELPHIA July 22.
A number of machines, or Watering Carts, are now provided for watering the streets of this city, and they appear to answer the design perfectly. This plan was suggested one or two years since—and, from past experience, there is reason to suppose the omission has not been attended with salutary consequences. The expence of this valuable improvement will doubtless be considerable—but contrated with its beneficial effects, diminishes to nothing. The Watering Machines appear to be very ingeniously constructed; and much praise is due to the officers of our police for carrying the plan into execution.
Extract from the 5th Section of 1st Article of the Constitution of the United States.
"Each house may determine the rule of its proceedings, punish its members for disorderly behaviour, and with the concurrence of two thirds, expel a member."
"Each house shall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such parts as may in their judgment, require secrecy."
The Citizens of Philadelphia, the District of South-wark and Northern Liberties, are invited to attend a Meeting proposed to be held at the State-House on Thursday Evening next, at 5 o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of expressing their sense of the Treaty, lately concluded at London, between Lord Grenville and Mr. Jay.

The LETTER-BAG of the Ship CAMILLA, Capt. Irwin, for FALMOUTH, will be taken from the Post-Office on Saturday afternoon, at 6 o'clock. 21st July, 1795.
The Letters by the British June Packet, were received at the Post-Office this day.
It is asserted as a fact that the standard bearer of the Democrats on Saturday last, was a Nova-Scotia refugee, lately returned to this city. By this action he is said to have acquired vast honors among the new made heroes of 1776.
It is said that many of the most violent whigs of 1776, who were under the command of P—R—, on Saturday last, at the notable feat of burning the treaty, have not been in the country long enough to become citizens—others of them were not born on the day of Lexington battle.
A correspondent enquires how many of the heroes of the Standard, on Saturday last, ever read a treaty in their lives?
The meeting on Saturday was disgraceful to the city, but it will shew the world that the weight of sense, patriotism, talents, wisdom and numbers, is infinitely against the ridiculous method of deciding important national questions by tumultuous and irregular assemblies. N. T. Minerva.
A very candid Lawyer, speaking on the subject of the Treaty, and the precipitation with which our Boston brethren have decided on its contents, declared he had read the Treaty with attention, but the subject required so much examination, that he would not undertake to pronounce his opinion on it without a week's investigation.
In order to decide on the Treaty, the following qualifications are requisite:
 1. To read the Treaty and understand it.  2. To understand the law of nations.  3. To read and understand all our other subsisting treaties with other nations.  4. To know the state of the commerce, not only of the United States, but of most of the trading nations of Europe. 
Without these qualifications, no man is capable of determining the real merits or demerits of the Treaty; and without these requisites any general decision will be materially erroneous. Minerva.

LONDON, June 1.
Saturday an American vessel arrived in the river, from Dunkirk, on board which were upwards of an hundred masters of merchantmen, who have been several months prisoners in France.
On Saturday forenoon, eight persons, seven of whom are members of the society of people called Quakers, were brought to York from Lotherdale, and committed to the castle. The cause of imprisonment was their refusal (according to the known religious principles of that society) to pay tithes. The were prosecuted in the Court of Exchequer, for the accumulated tithes of many years, by George Markham, vicar of Carlton in the West Riding of York, and rector of Tattenhall, in Cheshire; and a decree was given on behalf of the prosecutor, for the tithes and costs of suit.
The prince of Wales's regiment of Pencibles, upwards of 1000 strong, is arrived at Waterford from England.

FRANCE.
NATIONAL CONVENTION,
May 22.
In the name of the committee of public welfare Treillard announced that the principles of humanity which the convention had substituted for the reign of terror and of blood, continued to inspire foreign powers with the happiest confidence, which would remove all obstacles.—The most important treaties were at that moment negotiating—their result would conduce to the peace and happiness of Europe.—Those would be culpable indeed who should retard the maturity of so salutary a work. (Applauses.)
This day, (continued he) your committee of public welfare has to give an account of a new treaty concluded at Bale on the 27th Floreal, May 16, between the French Republic and the king of Prussia. That treaty is relative to a secret article contained in the seventh article of the same treaty. It may be considered as the basis of a general pacification.—These conditions are the neutrality of such members of the Germanic Body as withdraw their contingents from the empire, and engage that they shall not furnish any troops to the enemies of the French Republic. The king of Prussia guarantees this neutrality, and the open communication of the whole right bank of the Rhine. The Landgrave of Hesse Cassel, of Hesse d'Armstadt, and the Elector of Saxony, have adhered to this agreement, and will all unite to drive out the Hanoverian troops. The object of this negotiation is to remove the theatre of war from the North of Germany, to re-establish the commercial relations, and to reduce Austria to her own force. Such of the Germanic members as will not fulfill the conditions of this treaty, will be excluded from the benefit of the neutrality.
The reporter concluded by demanding that the treaty and other papers should be printed, and that the ratification should be adjourned for three days.
Lanjuinais demanded that an address should be sent to the 48 sections, inviting to seize all whom they consider as culpable, and desirous of disturbing the public peace. Decreed.
PARIS, May 2.
Prexy, the infamous chief of the rebellion of Lyons, is returned to France. He now lives undisturbed at a country seat in the vicinity of that city. The royalists have become as daring and ferocious as the terrorists their predecessors and accomplices. Lyons offers the picture of a second counter-revolution. The first movement of a full indignation of at least an excusable fury, caused some reputed terrorists to be immolated at Lyons; but now every republican is treated as a terrorist, and the poignard of the assassin is continually lifted over his head. Many republicans have already been assassinated. The General Staff of Prexy is recognized. None but such as have borne arms during the rebellion of that city are received in this corps. Swarms of emigrants arrive at Lyons.
Extract of a letter from Hamburg.
"All Germany cries for peace; but England keeps some of our princes in perpetual deafness. The Austrian power is ruined by Prussian politics; but Prussia itself is almost exhausted. Denmark and Sweden alone prosper, through the wisdom of their government. The behaviour of the French in all German conquered countries, is greatly praised; but the Austrians and the English are execrated; as also the murders and robberies of the French emigrants with the allied army. There is such a panic spread among all of them, that five French always are sure to beat twenty of the allies. "I know for certain, that an Hungarian regiment, lately threw their arms before the feet of their officers, saying, we will not fight against people who are in the right."
BRUSSELS, May 18.
The army of the Sambre and the Meuse, commanded by General Jourdan, is now in motion:—some large bodies of that army have been detached to join the army of the Moselle, an apprehension having been entertained, that the enemy was preparing to cross the Rhine.
The position of the republican armies is now such as must certainly disconcert all the projects of the Austrian Generals.
From Bonn to above Mayence, all the left bank of the Rhine is lined with troops, by means of the junction of the three armies of the Sambre and Meuse, the Moselle and the Rhine.
General Jourdan has even taken the precaution of forming a communication with the army, which is carrying on the siege of Luxembourgh, by posting some corps between them.
In short, nothing can be better contrasted than the disposition of the Republican army, with all its insurmountable difficulties to the enemy, in case they should attempt the passing of the Rhine.
NEW-YORK, July 18.
On Saturday morning last departed this life, Mrs. ELIZABETH RIVINGTON, the worthy and much lamented wife of Mr. James Rivington, Bookbinder of this City; and in the afternoon of the same day, attended by a great number of respectable relatives and friends. She was buried in the New Dutch Church Yard. At the same time, in the same family vault, were deposited the remains of her sister Mrs. SEBRA, who died after a very short illness, just before Mrs. Rivington. Several circumstances rendered this funeral procession peculiarly melancholy. Mrs. Sebra who had been for some time past confined by la mensis, went with great difficulty to take a last farewell of her dying sister. As she approached Mrs. Rivington's bed, overcome with excessive grief, she instantly fainted, and in the course of a few hours expired. They had lived in warm mutual affection; their kindred spirits sought at the same time the realms of rest; and their bodies were carried together, and deposited in the same grave.
HARTFORD, July 20.
Last week passed through this City, an Express, charged with the Proceedings of the late Town-Meeting in Boston: It is said he is to proceed into the four Western Counties of Pennsylvania, with as much expedition as possible, and that the several Democratic Societies are to furnish him with fresh Horses, as they may be wanted. We are also told he carries the proceedings of the other meetings relative to the destruction of a British vessel which lately arrived in Boston armed with Pine-Apples.
It is expected the inhabitants of those Counties will decide on the merits of the Treaty in the same manner as their brethren in Boston, without giving it a reading.
BOSTON, June 18.
Wednesday last was the Anniversary of Commencement at Harvard University. A larger number of graduates received their diplomas as Bachelors of arts on this anniversary than any other. The Theses were well chosen, extensive knowledge and brilliancy of genius were conspicuous in their discussion, and a judicious display of energy and pathos in their delivery, combined to secure them the most unbounded applause.

This was accompanied by "Rule Britannia" and "Yankee Doodle," which was clapped and huzz'd by many of the company. I just mention this little and otherwise insignificant anecdote to shew that the acrimony, which to the disgrace of both countries, has heretofore been but two consciousness, begins gradually to subside—Pray heaven it may! and that the time may arrive, even in our day, when men may consider themselves as "Citizens of the world," and break off narrow shackles of prejudice and discrimination, so productive of rancour and animosity."

Delaware "It may be a tale of truth, for it is not unnatural, and it is a tale of real distress—Charlotte, by the authoress 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."   Maryland The situation are artless and affecting—the description natural and pathetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a punishment.
