[CIRCULAR.]
To the physicians of Philadelphia, New-York, Baltimore, Norfolk and New-Haven,
Gentlemen,
As a malignant fever, has, for three summers past raged in different parts of the United States, and proved fatal to great numbers of our fellow citizens, and extremely prejudicial to the commerce of the country, it becomes highly important to take such efficacious steps as human wisdom can devise to prevent the introduction, arrest the progress or mitigate the severity of such a serious calamity. It is a cause equally interesting to every part of the United States and one that deeply affects the happiness of families and the general prosperity of the country.
The first measure to be taken in this business seems to be, to ascertain the following points—Whether the bilious remitting fever, commonly called the yellow fever, is of foreign or domestic origin; whether it is always imported or may be generated in our own country—whether it is an epidemic, or depends for propagation on specific contagion; or whether it partakes of the nature both of an epidemic and a contagious disease.
These points, however clear to many of the faculty, are subjects of warm controversy among others; and while professional men differ in opinion, other citizens will differ also; and while a difference of opinions as to the origin and nature of the disease, exists no legislative remedies; no effectual police regulations can be expected for the prevention of this calamity.
To decide on the origin and nature of the yellow fever, we want the evidence of facts; and it is not improbable that facts have occurred in the U. States, sufficient in number and clearness, to furnish evidence that shall produce universal conviction, if all those facts were brought together and offered to the public in a mass.
If the gentlemen of the faculty will take the trouble to furnish me, severally, or by committees, with such facts as have fallen under their notice, relative to the foregoing points, I will be at the pains to arrange them and will risk the publication, and circulation of the work throughout the United States.
In an undertaking of this kind, private interest ought not to be wholly abandoned; but my principal motive, is, to promote the best interests of my fellow citizens, by doing what few men will undertake; that is, collecting the fragments of knowledge which lie scattered in various places, and arranging and publishing them for the common benefit of my country.
The particular points on which I wish to obtain information, are the following:
The origin of the yellow fever in the respective places to which you belong; the time of its first appearance and disappearance—its symptoms and the most successful mode of treatment—what proportion of persons seized with decided symptoms of this fever have died—how far the fever has been attended with specific contagion, and the proofs of this—in what situations as to free air, water, streets and buildings, this disease has been most fatal—what descriptions of people have suffered most, and their mode of living—what malignant complaints have, for two or three seasons, preceded the yellow fever—how it differs in symptoms from the ordinary bilious fever of the country—whether or not you have known a fever, with the same or similar symptoms, to occur in scattered instances, in other seasons than that in which the yellow fever has prevailed—and whether such cases can be traced to any known cause—and in short, please to communicate any other information which, in your opinion, may throw light on the origin, nature & cure of the disease.
The Health Committees of the Cities above mentioned, are particularly requested to furnish such facts, on any of these points, as may have come to their knowledge.
The physicians of Newbern, Edenton, Wilmington, and other towns in North Carolina; of Charleston and Beaufort in South Carolina; of Savannah or other large towns in Georgia; and the physicians on the eastern shore in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, together with those of Alexandria, Richmond, Petersburg, or other large towns in the southern states where bilious fevers prevail, are requested to communicate such facts and observations relative to those fevers, as may enable the public to judge how far the ordinary remitting bilious fever of our country corresponds in origin and symptoms, with the fatal epidemic which has raged in Philadelphia, New-York, &c.
A similar request is made to Physicians in every part of the United States especially in the neighbourhood of the drowned lands, and at Shawangunk in the State of New-York, and those who have had the care of those persons who were taken with a malignant fever at the treaty with the Indians near lake Cayuga, the summer past.
The Physicians about Coxsackie, the drowned lands in Salisbury in Connecticut and Sheffield in Massachusetts who attend the sick in the neighbourhood of the marshy ground on the borders of those towns—in short all physicians, who have had experience in bilious fevers of a malignant kind, are requested to communicate whatever facts can throw light on the origin, nature, or cure of such fevers.—They are requested to inform, in what season the fevers prevail most, whether wet or dry—at what time in the summer they appear and disappear—at what distance from a marsh they prevail, to determine the extent of the contagious influence arising from low grounds—whether the water is running or stagnant—whether such fevers ever prevail near fresh water ponds whose banks are high and rocky, and weeds—whether the putrid fevers arising evidently from the marshy exhalations in the country are ever attended with specific contagion—in short every species of facts that can serve to explain the cause, the progress, the symptoms, and the cure of bilious fevers.
It is requested that your answers to these enquiries may be forwarded to me at New-York as soon as convenient and by private conveyance, if possible. I am persuaded that a full investigation of the
causes of the disease will enable the government of our states and cities to make such regulations as to guard our commercial towns from a repetition of the calamities they have once suffered. If the disease has been imported, more effectual measures must be taken to prevent its introduction—if generated in our country, it is absolutely necessary for our populous towns to suffer most decisive amendments, in their docks, houses, streets, &c.
Our latitudes are the same as those of many countries in Asia, where the plague rages; and perhaps our climate, which formerly resisted the progress of fatal epidemics, is assimilating itself annually to that of Smyrna and Constantinople.
I cannot but hope, gentlemen, that you will be of opinion that this subject is of great and universal concern to the United States: and that you will consent to aid a plan which has the health of our fellow citizens, and the happiness and prosperity of our country for its object.
I am, gentlemen, Your fellow citizen, NOAH WEBSTER, jun.
The several printers in the United States are requested to publish this letter.
From the AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.
Nemo mortalium omnibus horis sapit.
Every man has his Hobby Horse. Some are vicious, and some otherwise. Mine is not of the first, inasmuch as he is not personal nor local. Whether he be of the last species, CANDOR, be thou his judge.
THUS thro' the mercy of our God, that great blessing, public peace, was most happily restored;—And upon such terms, as flattered us with the delightful prospect of a continuance of the blessing.
The great Eternal, who speaks, and the heavens and the earth are shaken, looked down from his heaven of heavens, and beheld the distresses of the sons of men. And beholding, he pitied; and was graciously pleased to say to the destroying sword, it is enough.
As soon as those joyful words had passed his hallowed lips, the storm of horrors ceased; grim and rageful war stood offencels. No more was heard the shrill sound of the trumpet; and no longer did the din of arms disturb the peaceful mansions of domestic enjoyment. All was happiness and joy. Under his fig-tree, or under his vine sat every man in safety and peace.
Great was the blessing. Peace, liberty, and safety! The completion of all our wishes. The object of all our toils. Ours was all the happiness; but all the glory and all the praise was due to heaven. The debt is immense, and never, can never be paid.
But in return for this infinite goodness, what hath been our conduct? Did we acknowledge the debt? Did we confess an obligation? Faithfully to acknowledge is all that we can do: And the best and the most acceptable acknowledgment is a life of obedience; that is a life of piety and love. A reverential, and grateful love of the deity; and benevolence, or a general good will to all mankind.
This reverence and gratitude for the Deity, can live only in meek and lowly minds. But instead of being engrossed therewith, as we ought, did we not suffer success to intoxicate and puff us up with vain conceits? Independent of all earthly powers, did we not aspire at independence of him, who, uncontrolable, ruleth over all? Happy is he, whose heart doth not for these things condemn him!
In our rage for trans-atlantic baubles, we imported a large assortment of mental poison; of which many took copious draughts with greediness. Inasmuch, that they laid aside the bible, for the dogmas of deistical writers, who, vile in their own conceits, impiously attempted to bind the Omnipotent down to the rules of their philosophy, or inkings of their understanding!
To those have lately been added the dreams of a man, whose celebrity fascinates the multitude.—Altho' these dreams are given to the public as the opinions of a youth of only seven or eight years old; yet they are read, by numbers, with such avidity, as to escape from their minds all respect for revelation, and for those great, important truths, on which depends the everlasting peace of all intellectual creation.
That opinion, which makes a man's own mind his own church, makes it his kur too . That is, it establishes the will of capricious man, into a system and code; or a general directory in all affairs spiritual and temporal.
But to make this opinion of any real use, you must extend it much farther, and bring into subjection unto it, not only the principles of all virtue; but even the great Author of all goodness!—But this idea is too blasphemous to be pursued.
Establish this abolition of systems, and the wildest anarchy must ensue. Every man will be tenacious of his own opinion, and dignify it with the term rectitude, or moral faculty—whereas conscience will, probably, be laid aside; and reason, catering for the passions, will suggest some plea for the justification of that opinion or will; even altho' it should be vanity, or error in the extreme.—Or, in other words, REASON, which should be the commander in chief, will degrade itself into an adjutant, and receive orders from the passion commandant .
Another error—it is indeed a sore evil—to common amongst us, is a careless inattention to the lambs of our flock . Instead of teaching children to remember their Creator now, in the days of their youth, what numbers in different places are suffered to vegetate; or to grow up in such absolute ignorance, as hardly to know there is a God! But of nearly as ignorant as the savages.
Yet if they be taught the commandments, how shall they be persuaded to believe that the Lord will not hold him guiltless who taketh his name in vain ? when they daily hear those about them take that sacred name in vain, either in idle exclamations, profane oaths, or impious execrations?
Brethren, these things ought not to be.
I thought on thy ways, and turned my feet into thy testimonies; was the language, and the consideration of a punitent king of Israel.
Let us go, and do likewise. And be it engraven upon your hearts forever—that Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people: It is the great despoiler.

PARIS, September 6.
This capital enjoys the most perfect tranquility. The few wretches who endeavour to give a false direction to the public opinion are contemned, despised, hooted in the primary assemblies. The republican firmness, displayed on this occasion by the mass of the people, has reduced the disaffected to silence. The royalists, also, are at last convinced, that there is no longer any chance left to restore; they say it is necessary to accept the Constitution; but assume a little after the tone of infallible arbitrators, they maintain, that for the sake of liberty and the Republic, not a single member of the Convention ought to be re-elected.
The republic has no other enemies but vile speculators, the bloodsuckers of the nation; the journa-lists of Pitt, the hypocrites, the lots and all those rich brigands, who fatten on the spoils of the public fortune.
The forestallers and stockjobbers demand the liberty of commerce; the little Chouans, the liberty of dress; the fanatics the liberty of worship, and never have the Aristocrats spoke so much of the rights of man as at the present decisive moment.
Among the numerous censures on the new Constitution, which were transmitted to the Committee of Eleven; there was a humorous one, dedicated by Citizen Maniezia, author of the pamphlet, "what is the Constitution of 1795?" among others more witty than solid remarks appeared the following question: "Why did the Committee of Eleven establish an Executive Directory composed of five members and six ministers?" It is, says he, because five and six makes eleven.
A pamphlet entitled "political assassinations and plunders; or proscriptions and confiscations," which teems with the grossest invectives against the revolution, and proposes nothing less than the ancient order of things, has lately been published under the name of the cidevant Abbé Raynal. We could hardly persuade ourselves that advice so dangerous to the interest of the French people, and tenets so unworthy of man should have flown from the pen of William Thomas Raynal, who retired from the political theatre, lives peaceably at Montrichy, a solitary country seat in the vicinity of Paris. Informed of the use the disaffected make of his name he has at last publicly and solemnly declared that he had not been concerned, neither in the publication nor in the composition of that pamphlet.
When will the conspirators cease to hide themselves behind a celebrated name in order to influence the credulous and the ignorant? An enlightened people respect the virtues and talents, disdain the errors and punish the crimes of celebrated men as well as of obscure people. The French esteem Raynal, the Philosopher, and would abhor Raynal, the abettor of despotism.
Buzot, BARBAROUX, and PETION.
In the beginning of June 1793, the Deputies Pethion, Buzot, Barbaroux, Salles and Guadet, fled from Paris and joined the troops under Felix Wimpden, in the department of Calvados; the insurrection in their favour being quelled and themselves outlawed, they migrated across the western part of France to the department of Gironde, and found a shelter in the commune of St. Emilion in the vicinity of Bourdeaux; after five months continual anguish and seclusion from society, Salles and Guadet becoming less circumspect, were discovered and immediately guillotined; Troquart, a hair-dresser who had granted an asylum to Pethion, Buzot and Barbaroux, was at the same time taken up as suspected, and the three unhappy deputies having now no choice left, but to surrender themselves to their implacable enemies or die by their own hands resolved to put an end to their own existence. This last circumstance was almost universally unknown, till the following letters were communicated to the Convention in the sitting of July 6th, last.
Citizen Troquart Baptiste, hair-dresser at St. Emilion, department of the Gironde, to the NATIONAL CONVENTION. Citizen Representatives.
It is again a victim of the Tyranny of the Deputies who comes to solicit your attention towards him. I am an inhabitant of St. Emilion, a place which has witnessed the end of your unhappy Colleagues, Guadet, Buzot, Pethion, Barbaroux and Salles, who had taken refuge there after having been outlawed.
It is I, who had hid and nourished Barbaroux, Pethion and Buzot, during five months. My rescuers, in which I languished 8 whole months, and could not have escaped death, but for a terrible sickness, which did not permit the villain, Lambe to arraign me before his cruel tribunal.
Liberty was restored to me after his fall, and with it the esteem of my fellow citizens; and this is the only recompense I would have aspired after, had not my present situation did not imperiously command me to apply to you, in order to obtain some assistance from the nation.
I was always poor, and finished spending the little I had to procure to my country your unhappy Colleagues, and to recover from the sickness I had caught in prison.
Citizen Representatives, I leave it to your wisdom to allow me what will appear just to you. The minutes of my delivery from arrest, which I enclose in my petition, will fully prove what I have advanced.
(Signed) TROQUART BAPTISTE. St. Emilion, 12 Messidor (June 30) third year of the French Republic.
The following are the last letters of the three deputies, which were communicated du-

ting the same fitting, and ordered to be deposited in the national archives.
Directed to Madame Buzot, at Evreux. I leave this last remembrance of a husband who loves thee, in the hands of a man who has rendered me the greatest services.
We must fly from a safe and kind asylum in order to run fresh risks. A terrible catastrophe puts an end to our last hopes. I see all the pressing dangers which threaten us, but my courage does not leave me. But, my dear friend, the time draws near, we must part. I recommend thee above all to do every thing in thy power to recompense the generous - - - who shall deliver thee this billet. He will relate to thee all our misfortunes. Farewell; I expect thee in the dwelling of the righteous.
Signed, BUZOT.
To Citoy. Pons Challeroy, born Pons, at Mar- feilles.
O my mother! my dear mother! I have not time to detail to thee my situation. I deliver myself to the Providence of God in order to find an asylum. Do not despair of my fate; and if it is in thy power, recompense the man who shall hand thee my billet, or cause it to be delivered.
Adieu, my dear mother, thy son embraces thee. Signed, BARBAROUX.
Letter without a direction.
Dear Friend, I lived for thee, I have lived for my - - - my country, oppressed by infamous villains, assassinated in a cowardly and ferocious manner, for my honor. I have suffered much; I have borne all my pains with courage; my character has never ceased to be the same. I care little what people may think of me. I fulfilled my duties; I wished the welfare of my country, and my conscience does not reproach me in the least. I find myself in the most cruel situation that can possibly be imagined. I throw myself in the arms of Providence; I do not expect to be delivered. Farewell a thousand times, dear wife; I embrace thee; I embrace my son; my last sigils are for you; may he not forget his father.
Recompence, to the best of thy power, the honest man who shall hand thee this letter, he did all he could to be useful to me. Signed, PETHION.
NEW-YORK, November 2.
Just arrived, the ship Minerva, 50 days from London. Captain Clarkson has favoured us with a London paper of the 8th Sept. by which we find a report that the Empress of Russia had declared war against the King of Prussia. This report is taken from a Paris paper of the 3d Sept. which is so particular as to recite the motives of the Empress, verbatim. No news of this event had arrived in England by the Edinburgh mail.
The French ship Montague, of 120 guns, is said to be lost on the rocks near L'Orient.
A General Montequieu's name is erased from the list of emigrants.
The Spanish government intends to send a force to St. Domingo, to protect it, until the French shall be able to send a force to take possession. Further details to-morrow.
General Grey and Admiral Jervis have received as rewards for their important services in the West-Indies, the freedom of the city of London in a gold box, with a polite address, pronounced by Mr. Wilkes - they have also been presented with the freedom of the Company of Goldsmiths, and that of the Company of Fishmongers.
By a royal decree, Cotton goods are permitted to be imported into Lisbon for one year, to supply the deficiency from India.
Extract of a letter from Fort Royal, [Mart.] dated September 12, 1795.
"The affairs at St. Vincent are far from being arranged, about 50 estates are burnt to the ground many of the negroes killed and missing and to add to the other distresses of that devoted country; an Epidemical disease has carried off great numbers of the negroes and whites.
Mutters were however in a train of settlement until last week, when the enemy having received reinforcements assaulted and carried in the night a strong fort, which we held in the Charaib country - out of 250 men of which it consisted we have heard of but a few who have escaped. The affairs at Grenada are pretty much in the same state. We are waiting the arrival of reinforcements which we daily expect, when it is to be hoped that the affairs in the West Indies will wear a more favorable aspect.
I have made a number of experiments with the Eudiometer at Trinidad, St. Vincent's and this Island; I flatter myself with sufficient accuracy and attention. At St. Vincent and Trinidad, the air was nearly of equal purity, one measure of nitrous air and one of atmospheric air lost 1 3/4 behind, there was of course an absorption of .66 parts, but at Fort Royal I found 1 44 1/2 - the loss was therefore 56 which makes 10 difference.
AUGUSTA, October 17.
Extract of a letter from the Secretary of War to his Excellency George Matthews, Esq. Governor of Georgia, dated War-Office, September 26, 1795.
SIR, YOU are acquainted with Mr. Seagrove's journey to Philadelphia. Unfortunately he left Georgia before my letter of the 2d of July* for calling the Creek Treaty arrived. That circumstance and the lateness of the season apparently rendered it impossible to hold the treaty this fall. Mr. Seagrove informed, that in October the warriors would commence their hunting, and remain dispersed till late in next March. That whatever efforts should be used to collect them to a treaty during the long hunting season; a partial assembly only could be obtained; And you have perceived by former communications that this would be repugnant to the President's views; which were by universal notice, and a complete representation of the nation, to prevent any cavils about the obligatory force of the treaty that might be made.
The President has therefore determined (tho' with regret, knowing the solicitude of Georgia on this subject) to postpone the Treaty until the Spring.
Mr. Seagrove thinks the first of May the earliest period for a general meeting to be obtained; and that Coleman or the St. Mary's will be the most eligible place.
But of the precise time and place you will hereafter be duly advised.
I am, With great respect, Your obedient Servant, TIMOTHY PICKERING.
His Excellency George Matthews, Esq. Governor of Georgia.
A true copy from the files of the Executive. EDWARD WATTS, S. E. D.

Yesterday a Pardon passed the Seal of the United States for Violand Mitchell, the two Insurgents who were under Sentence of Death - pursuant thereto, they were liberated from prison.
IMPORTANT.
The Air-Furnace belonging to the Hollow Ware Company ceased blowing this day; whether this circumstance is the result of the high price of fuel, or the discontinuation of foreign aid, is not yet determined. The probability, therefore, is, that the Proprietors will occupy themselves with disposing of the stock on hand, until the Furnace is prepared for another blast.
EXTRACT.
IT may be in politics as in physick, the great politician as well as the skillful Physician, may sometimes find it necessary to apply quack remedies; - the empiric however, has an uniform line of conduct - he first operates on the mind of his patient by bringing him to a belief he is visited with complaints for the subjugation of which his nostrums are perfectly and solely competent, and when the imaginary sick man swallows the potion, he is soon convinced of a radical cure, by the approach of the great finisher of human woes, death! Such also is the process in quack politics, and the analogy, is perfectly verified in the case of the Western Insurgents.

NEW-YORK, November 3.
Yesterday the ship Minerva, Captain Clarkson, arrived at this port from London, which he left the 7th, and the Downs the 13th of September.
[By the Minerva, Clarkson.]
An American gentleman, who arrived yesterday in London in 43 hours from Amsterdam, reports, that he saw 14 sail of the line and a number of frigates at anchor in the Texel Roads.
He states also, that the French, to the number of 100,000 men, have actually crossed the Rhine. This rumour, the probability of which is sanctioned by every preceding account in the French and German papers, we have given simply as it reached us. It was confidently believed in Amsterdam on the 31st ult.
Government yesterday morning have received some farther dispatches from Quiberon Bay. Very little on this subject is suffered to transpire, but it appears that an uninterrupted correspondence is kept up with the Royalists South of the Loire, as also with the Chouans in the interior of Brittany.
Sept. 5.
The report of the French having crossed the Rhine, is confirmed by private letters from Hamburg. They say, but without mentioning any date, that the army of the republic has passed that river in full force.
The negotiation at Basle, for a peace between France and the empire, appears to encounter new difficulties, and to meet with obstacles which threaten to be insurmountable. On the one hand, we are told, that the status quo, and the evacuation of the whole evacuation of the whole conquered territory, are the terms offered to France. Such conditions, we venture to affirm, were never before proposed to any power, after such a series of victories, and possessed of such a superiority of military force. The proposers of such terms seem to have entirely forgotten the relative situation of the belligerent powers, and to have supposed that France was receiving instead of dictating conditions of peace. They are unreasonable, because France is entitled to reap the fruit of her victories; they are unjust,
because she has a right to a compensation for her expense of blood and treasure; and they are contemptibly ridiculous, because there is not even an appearance of such a military force as would be necessary to second them, and to induce the French government to make such large and unexampled concessions.
We freely confess, however, that nothing can be more harsh and humiliating for the empire, than to make peace on any other terms. This they owe to the presumptuous incapacity of those statesmen who have involved all Europe in difficulties, from which neither they nor any man else is able to extricate it, and who have placed the states of the empire in a situation so peculiarly critical, that it is almost equally difficult and dangerous for them to make peace, or to carry on war. To these pretended statesmen, the Princes and States of the Empire are likely to owe the loss of their dominions, the Germanic body, the dismemberment of its territory, and all the powers of Europe, the state of insecurity and peril in which they will be placed by the aggrandizement of France.
Fresh reports are in circulation of an early and short session of parliament, to be closed by a dissolution. For our parts, we believe, that the same irresolution and fluctuation which pervade all the other parts of government, also prevail in this, ministers, we are convinced, have no plan on the subject. All is committed to the Chapter of Accidents. They know not whether they are to recognize Louis XVIII. They know not whether they are to carry on a mad war, or conclude a disgraceful peace: and they are equally ignorant when they will dissolve parliament. All these contingencies depend upon each other, and upon anything but design or foresight in ministers.
September 7.
WAR BETWEEN RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA.
A Paris paper of the 3d inst. (le Journal de Paris) has the following article:
"The Empress of Russia has declared war against the king of Prussia. Amongst the motives assigned by the Empress in her declaration of war, the following are the most remarkable:
"That his Prussian Majesty has refused to evacuate the districts of Cracovia and Sandomir.
"That his Prussian Majesty has made a peace with the French, to the prejudice of the engagements which he had contracted with a power lately become the ally of her Russian Majesty."
We are now, according to every appearance, on the eve of a war with Holland and Spain. We have captured a frigate of the Dutch republic. Sober men, not infected with a political Mania, will ask what hostility the Dutch have committed against us? They have dismissed the Stadholder; or rather he abdicated his office by retiring from the United Provinces. Spain has ventured to recognize the French republic, and, to prevent the subjugation of all her dominions in Europe, has been rash enough to surrender a part of her territories in America. Neither of these are good or sufficient reasons for a declaration of war. But it appears, in fact, that so insatiable is our hatred to the French, that we cannot be upon good terms with the powers connected with them; and to be an ally of that nation, seems to be a sufficient cause for exciting the vengeance of Great-Britain.
The treasury points are now busily employed in preparing the public mind for a rupture with Spain. The Spanish part of Hispaniola, they say, certainly became French property in the moment when the treaty, by which it was given up, was ratified; and that in this light is the matter considered by government. But if we should attack their part of the island, whilst in possession of the Spaniards, this quibble will avail but little; and the first gun that is fired, will obviously add our late ally to the number of our enemies.
Dispatches were yesterday received at the Admiralty from Lord Bridport's squadron, at Quiberon Bay: they state, that his Lordship's squadron were very much in want of both water and repairs. Messengers, in consequence of these advices, were sent off to the different sea ports of Plymouth, Portsmouth and Falmouth.
Dispatches have been received at the Admiralty from Adm. Duncan, who is arrived in the Downs, from his cruise after the Dutch fleet. The Russian fleet remains in the North Seas to watch the operations of the combined Swedish and Danish squadrons.
DIED, on the 15th ult. Prince Charles George, of Hesse Darmstadt, in the thirty-ninth year of his age.
Saturday some dispatches were received at the Admiralty from Rear Admiral Parker at Jamaica, which were brought over in the Princess Royal packet, Capt. Skinner, arrived at Falmouth, and brought down as far as the 20th of July. The fleet on that station had failed to look out for a French squadron expected from Brest, under command of Admiral Val de Neilly.
Saturday the three per cent. Consols rose 1 7/8 per cent. from some intelligence circulating about Change; one of which stated an action between the British and French fleets in the Mediterranean, with great advantage to the former; but there is no regular communication of any such event, however probable.
Another Dutch frigate is said to be taken in the North Seas; but no official accounts are arrived.
A communication is now settled; so that government are likely to have notice of any material event in the course of three hours from Paris, wind and weather permitting.
The whole naval force on this intended expedition to the West-Indies, will be ten ships of the line: three of which are to be large three deckers, besides frigates and floathips.
The reception of Gen. Montequieu's petition, and that of the Bishop of Autun, gives us reason to hope that the whole class of Constitutional Emigrants will speedily be restored to their country. When will the French government have generosity and magnanimity enough to require the liberation of the gallant and unfortunate La Fayette?
The time fixed for the sailing of General Abercromby's army for the West-Indies, is the beginning of October; it will consist of 25,000 men; 10,000 of whom are destined for St. Domingo, and the remainder for the Leeward Islands. Gen.
White goes out second in command, and will probably have the direction of the force intended to act against the French settlements in St. Domingo.
Yesterday Mr. Wilmot, the Messenger, arrived at Lord Grenville's Office, with dispatches from Vienna; and Mr. Hunter, the Messenger, at Mr. Dundas's Office, from the British Cavalry on the Continent.
The contents of these dispatches have not transpired. The Messengers arrived at seven o'clock in the morning, and a Cabinet Council was held at Lord Grenville's Office at twelve.
The destination of the troops under the command of General Doyle, is supposed to be for the Cape of Good Hope.
Should this be so, as the Count d'Artois and the Emigrants will have no British troops with them, we must not expect any Gazette accounts of their operations; till they get to Paris, or meet with some such disaster as their precursors had at Quiberon.
Saturday morning arrived at the Spanish Ambassador's Hotel, Don Joseph Charles Antonio, Marquis de las Casas, the new Minister Plenipotentiary from Madrid.
Such is the ignorance of political transactions in which the Spaniards are held, that not only is the peace with France still unannounced in their Gazette, but that the body of the people had not discovered it, at nearly three weeks from its conclusion. The treaty was signed at Basle, about 5 days journey from the Spanish frontier, on the 22d of July; and there are letters in town of the 8th ult. from the most respectable houses of Barcelona and Valencia, which say nothing of peace, more than that it is eagerly desired.
The army list is now as large as the Bible, and much more looked into!
