ANTHONY KEELING, ENOCH KEELING.

It has been repeatedly asserted, and never denied, that the violent opposers of the new Treaty, are inveterately hostile to any Treaty whatever with Great Britain...
A correspondent says, that the opponents to the Treaty of Amity and Commerce between Great Britain and the United States of America, have made loud complaints against Mr. Jay...
It does not suit the plan of disorganizers to suffer the people to reflect coolly, to reason and decide deliberately; but, as nothing violent can be lasting...
It is asserted in the Aurora of this morning, in positive terms, that "The President has not put his Signature to the Treaty."
The Aurora says "the merits of the Treaty appear to be defended by its advocates." Why will not the Editor of that paper, permit his readers to judge for themselves from the writings of those who defend the Treaty?
These men we know, they deliberated before they decided; but who knows their slanderers? and where were they, when these Senators stood in the gap of danger?
In modern phrase a PATRIOT is not one that loves the Government of his own country in preference to that of every other, because it is a free government...
Who are Men of '75; those who fought in that year? by no means. The heroes of that day are the butts of envy and slander. Our '75 gentry are principally children of that year, or new Citizens...

Died, yesterday morning, of a lingering and painful illness, which he bore with uncommon resignation, Mr. William Reese, in the 22d year of his age. To a numerous train of relatives, who have to regret his loss, may be added that of an extensive acquaintance.
From the (New-York) Minerva. VINDICATION of the TREATY OF AMITY, COMMERCE, and NAVIGATION, WITH GREAT-BRITAIN. No. IX.
Art. XVIII. This is one of the articles in the treaty which gives great offence. The objections to it are—That it enumerates among contraband goods, timber for ship building, tar and rosin, copper in sheets, sails, hemp & cordage, and generally whatever may serve directly to the equipment of vessels...
I frankly acknowledge that no part of the treaty is more vulnerable than this:—no part can furnish more substantial grounds of complaint.
This article proceeds from a strict adherence on the part of Great-Britain, to every part of the law of nations, which favors her superiority as a great maritime power; and its defence rests on the inability of our envoy to procure a relaxation of those laws.
The time for negotiating this article was unfavorable, as in most other respects it was favorable. Great-Britain, always anxious to preserve her naval strength, the great and only bulwark of the nation, is now engaged in a most inveterate war with France...
There were but two alterations; both of which would result in the same consequences to our trade.—This idea is an important one. If the article had
been rejected by our minister, Great-Britain has, and actually exercises, the right by the general laws of nations, to consider all those articles contraband and to declare them such, when she judges that by these means, she can reduce her enemy.
If the right of treating all the articles mentioned as contraband, results from the law of nations, and if Great-Britain will not abandon that right, is it not better, in a treaty of a temporary nature, to accede to the right, and enumerate the articles which are liable to seizure and confiscation...
Every liberal man must wish to see the field of commerce in war narrowed as much as possible; but if we cannot circumscribe that field, is it not of great importance to our citizens, to mark out the ground with distinct lines, that every man may distinguish it and shun the danger?
Every rational person will say, it is; and this is the effect of this article of the treaty.
I know it has been contended that timber and provisions are not, by the law of nations, contraband. But Vattel, a modern French writer of the highest authority, includes them among contraband goods. His words are, "Commodities particularized in war, and the importation of which to an enemy is prohibited, are called contraband goods.
The words naval stores includes cordage, hemp, tar, rosin, and every thing that serves for the equipment of ships of war. In the treaty of 1786, Great-Britain and France had excepted naval stores and provisions from the list of contraband articles. That treaty is annulled by the present war; and in a numerous collection of treaties now before me, I find no instance of an enumeration of naval stores, as excepted from contraband, by Great-Britain.
Some people say, it is better to let this point rest on the law of nations, than to admit it in a treaty. This is merely a matter of expedience; but if the safety of the merchants property is consulted, it is unquestionably better to have the contraband articles enumerated.
The stipulations in the 2d and 3d clause, of the 18th article, are in favor of neutral vessels. The agreement that when provisions are regarded as contraband they shall be paid for to their full value, with a mercantile profit, freight and demurrage is a rule of direction to the captors, that may prove favorable to a neutral trade, subject to be embarrassed by powers at war.
Art. XIX. This article provides against the ill usage which the subjects of neutral powers are liable to receive from the commanders of ships of war and privateers. This article is common in treaties—it is in nearly the same words, as in all our other treaties with foreign nations.
But it will be of much more use between Great-Britain and America, as it will operate as a prohibition against impressing American seamen on board of English ships. It has been objected to the treaty, that no provision of this kind is included in it. But the 19th article is a direct prohibition of this practice.
On account of a sameness of language, it is desirable that some effectual mode might be devised to distinguish American from British seamen. It might be of importance that American seamen should be provided with certificates of their citizenship, under the seal of some public officer.
It has been objected that the bonds required of the commanders of privateers to indemnify persons injured, are not large enough—the sums being limited to 1500. sterling for small privateers, and 3000. sterling, in case the privateer carries more than fifteen hundred men.
It may be observed, that this clause of the article is copied nearly from a similar one in the treaty of 1786, between Great-Britain and France. The sums limited by that treaty are the same; and will probably be found equal to all necessary purposes.
The last clause obliges judges of admiralty, in case any sentence of condemnation has been pronounced against vessels or goods, to deliver on demand authentic copies of the proceedings to the master, he paying the legal fees. A stipulation of this kind was necessary; as instances of delay and refusal of such copies have been experienced by our citizens during the present war.
The 20th article is usual in all treaties. It makes provision for guarding property from pirates or re-flooring it to its proper owners—a provision of mutual benefit, to the contracting parties, and liable to no objection.
No. X. Art. XXI. This article prohibits the subjects of the contracting parties, to commit acts of hostility against each other—to accept commissions from a foreign prince
or state, enemies to the other party—to enlist them into military service &c. and declares that the laws against such offences shall be punctually executed. The law of the United States, passed in June 1794, enacts the penalty of a fine, not exceeding 2000 dollars, and imprisonment for the foregoing offences.
The same article of the treaty makes it piracy to accept a foreign commission or letter of Marque, forarming any privateer to act against the other party. This is prohibited also by the same law of the United States, under a penalty of imprisonment, at the discretion of the court, and a fine not exceeding 5000 dollars.
When the treaty first appeared, this article excited much acrimony. It was considered as pointed at the military manoeuvres of a late French minister, who had attempted to excite Americans to war against the Spanish settlements, and to privateering against Great Britain. It was supposed to restrain the right of expatriation; a doctrine first propagated by the same Frenchman, to evade the law of nations and a doctrine which never would have entered the head of our citizens, had it not been taught by that artful sophist.
So eager were people of a certain faction to condemn the whole treaty, that they would not give themselves time to be informed whether it was right or wrong. But when they came to be told that they were restrained from taking foreign commissions to act against a power at peace with the United States, by the acknowledged laws of nations, by an express statute of the United States, and by an article in all our other treaties, they began to blush for their haste in giving opinions on what they did not understand.
Vattel says, a "nation ought not to suffer the citizens to do an injury to the subjects of another state, much less to offend the State itself. If you let loose the reins of your subjects against foreign nations, these will behave in the same manner to you; and instead of that friendly intercourse which nature has established between all men, we should see nothing but one nation robbing another." B. 2. ch. 6.
"I account associates of an enemy, those who assist him in his war without being obliged to it by treaty." B. 3. ch. 6.
A nation is not accountable for every act of an individual citizen; but if a state or nation openly permits the citizens to take part with the enemies of a third nation, that third nation has a right to consider that third state as making a common cause with its enemies, and to declare war against it of course.
It has been objected to this article that it is unconstitutional, as it creates the crime of piracy, when the power of defining piracy is vested in Congress. But the act of Congress before mentioned, admits the right of the President and Senate to define piracy in treaties; as the 9th section enacts "that nothing in the act shall be construed to prevent the prosecution or punishment of treason or a piracy defined by a treaty, or other law of the United States."
Nothing marks the partiality of a certain faction more distinctly than their objections to this article. We have had a similar article in our treaty with France more than 17 years, and in our treaties with Sweden, Prussia, and the States General, more than ten years, and not a syllable of objection was lifted against the principle.
It is this popular partiality for France; this disposition to favour every thing French, at the expense of every principle of justice and equity, which occasions all the difficulty our executive has encountered in preserving our peace, and in accommodating our differences with Great-Britain.
It is agreed on all hands, that our interest as a nation is super-eminent concerning in preserving peace. But how can peace be secured, unless we treat the powers at war with impartiality and justice? Vattel observes, "A neutral nation desirous safely to enjoy the conveniencies of that state, is in all things, to shew an exact impartiality between the parties at war; for should one nation favor another to its detriment, that nation cannot complain if the other treats it as an adherent and confederate of its enemy."
Our people have indeed a fine apology for shewing a preference to France; that of favoring liberty and republicanism. So far as the French fight for national independence, against the combined powers, they are engaged in a just and necessary war, and the wishes of all Americans must be with them.
People are therefore, in every view, unjustifiable in aiding any of the powers at war in a manner not warranted by the laws of neutrality. As we value our own government and the prosperity of the country, we are to avoid every act which can commit our public peace. It is rashness and madness to combine our interest with any European power in such a manner, as to be drawn into their political contentions.
The 22d article of the treaty stipulates that in case of injuries or damage on one side or the other, neither party will authorize reprisals, until a statement
of the same, verified by proof, shall be presented to the other, and satisfaction demanded. This stipulation is an exact conformity with the law of nations, and is supported by principles of policy and justice.
The provisions in the 23d article are well adapted to advance the intentions of the contracting parties, and are reciprocally beneficial. The permission of American vessels to enter prohibited ports in case of distress, is a concession conformable to the laws of hospitality.
The objection to the clause which enjoins a respect to be paid to officers according to their commissions, can be raised only by men who are destitute of the civility, which enjoins that respect.
The 24th article prohibits foreign privateers with commissions, from a prince or state in enmity with either nation, to arm or sell prizes in the ports of the parties.
The 25th article makes it lawful for the ships of war and privateers of either party to enter the ports of the other, without being liable to be searched, seized, or detained, or to pay admiralty fees.
These stipulations are also in our treaty with France; and no well grounded objection has been made to them. Some superficial people have supposed that they clash with our treaty with France. But there is an express declaration that these stipulations shall not be construed to operate contrary to former existing treaties.
If it happens that a posterior treaty is found, in some point, to contradict one that is more ancient, the new treaty is null with respect to that point—This relates to treaties with different powers." Vattel, B. 2. Ch. 12. Sect. 165.
So far the fears of people are totally groundless. But the following clause has excited acrimonious remarks. "The two parties agree, that while they continue in amity, neither of them will in future make a treaty that shall be inconsistent with this and the preceding article." What can be the objection to this clause? The laws of nations, and the rules of moral justice, forbid a state to make a subsequent treaty to infringe a prior one.
The 26th article provides, that in case of war, Merchants may continue to reside in the respective dominions, behaving peaceably—and in case their conduct shall render them suspected, the term of twelve months is allowed to settle their accounts and remove their families and effects.
To the two last articles, I presume, no objections are made. CURTIUS.
From the Amos Extraordinary. The Sun of the 16th contains proceedings in the House of Commons, and of Peers, of June 15.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, after some observations referring to a report on the petition of certain persons in Grenada and St. Vincents, which report does not appear, moved,
"That an address be presented to his majesty, requesting that his majesty will be graciously pleased to order exchequer bills, to an amount not exceeding the sum of one million and an half, to be issued to commissioners, to be lent out to the merchants and planters in the said islands, on certain securities or pledges, &c. &c."
This introduced a lengthy discussion on the subject of the West-Indies, conduct of the generals, adequacy of their force, &c. on which a motion was made, by Sir W. Dolben,
"That there be laid before the House the appointment of Lieutenant-Governor Descarres, with his letters to the ministers; the remonstrances to Lord Sydney; his consequent letters of recall; and the correspondence of the Lieutenant-Governor who succeeded him."
The Chancellor spoke against it, and it passed in the negative.
The Austrian loan bill passed.
Prince of Wales's debt then came on the tapis.—The clause of this bill, ordering the sum of 15,000l. to be issued to Commissioners for liquidating the Prince's debts, quarterly, passed 81 to 12.
On motion of Mr. Fox, to postpone the sale of part of the revenue of the Duchy of Cornwall, it passed in the negative.
A motion of Gen. Smith's, respecting the prince's right to the proceeds of this duchy from his birth to coming of age, produced a lengthy debate, and was finally lost, 40 to 97.
After various amendments, the bill was ordered to be read a third time and engrossed the next Wednesday. Sir W. Poulton had leave to, and a committee was appointed for the purpose of, bringing in a bill "For preventing any Prince of Wales in future from incurring debts, or exceeding the sum allowed by parliament for their expenditure."
THE subscriber offers for sale, a FARM, containing about 300 acres: distant from the City of Washington and George-Town between 8 or 9 miles. A Plot of this Land is in the hands of Mr. Peter Casanova of George-Town, library of Mr. Thomas Fitzsimons, in Philadelphia, and Mr. Robert Walsh, in Baltimore.
The Land will be shown to any person, by applying to John Lydam, who lives adjoining. It lies in a most healthy country, and a good neighborhood. There are on it a common country dwelling-house, a large tobacco-house, and an orchard of good fruit, a constant stream with a great fall runs thro' it, and between 30 or 40 acres of good meadow may be easily made. The lines of the above include about 40 acres of woodland. Convenient credits will be afforded to the purchaser if desired.
DANIEL CARROLL. Montgomery County, June 2, 1795. N. B. The land lies between two merchant mills, one distant not a mile, the other almost adjoining. June 15. 1795

LATEST FOREIGN ADVICES.
NEW-YORK, August 3.
Yesterday arrived the Brig Betsey, Capt. Bolter in 42 days from Bristol.
By this arrival we have been favoured with London papers, (the Courier) of June 9, 12, 15, and 16, from which the following articles are taken:—
LONDON, June 9.
Three mails from Corunna, and one from Lisbon arrived this morning. The Corunna Mails have brought us the Madrid Gazettes from the 17th of April to the 19th ult. They contain accounts of several actions, none of them of importance that have taken place in the provinces of Guipulcoa and Catalonia. There is no mention in these Gazettes of any negotiations for peace having been entered into by the Spanish government; and indeed each gazette contains lists of the subscriptions of the Spanish nobles, clergy, placemen and pensioners, for continuing this just and necessary war; a mode of conduct, which, inasmuch as it tends to alleviate the burthens of the people, will, we are aware, be deemed by the pensioners and placemen of this country, extremely absurd.
The first payment of the Austrian loan is expected to take place on the 19th inst.
A letter from Scarborough, dated the 6th inst. says "We learn from Cloughton, four miles to the Northward of us, that a constant firing has been heard there since five this morning, supposed to proceed from some engagement at Sea to the North East."
This account is corroborated by the fishermen.
M. Gaminus, late Secretary of legation to the Prussian Embassy at Basle, is gone to Paris on a secret mission.
From the Hague, we learn, that a proclamation has been issued by the representatives for establishing a national loan bank, which is to advance cash upon the effects of the citizens, that they may comply with the requisitions levied upon them; they are to have security from the Amsterdam bank.
Letters from Copenhagen of the 12th ult. state that exclusive of the four ships of the line fitted out there, orders are given by the Danish Admiralty to fit out four more, which are, the Kroner, 74 guns, the Seeland, 74, the Nordstjern, 74, the Insnaford 64.
The Danish Admiral Raas is to have the command of this fleet; and six more ships of the line have orders to be kept in readiness for service.
June 12.
Captain Savage of the Albion man of war who conveyed the outward bound trade to Hamburg, on his return captured seventeen vessels, chiefly American, laden with provisions and stores for France and has brought them to the Nore.
We learn that a treaty of peace has been actually signed at Basle between France, the Margrave of Baden, and the Landgrave of Hesse Cassel.
The loss of Luxembourg will probably induce the Emperor to relinquish every idea of attempting the passage of the Rhine, and may perhaps convince him of the propriety of opening an immediate negotiation for peace, the only mode of conduct by which he can regain his influence in the affairs of the Empire, and disappoint the projects of Prussia.
The Toulon fleet, we understand, has put to sea with twenty sail of the line, and as many frigates.
Admiral Hotham has also put to sea with fifteen sail of the line to meet the French, and ten frigates, and four Neapolitan ships of the line.
The channel fleet passed Plymouth, with a fair wind, the day before yesterday.
June 16.
A report has for some days been industriously propagated at Paris, that another insurrection would break out on the 25th of Prairial (the 13th of June) The report decides neither upon the authors nor the object of the insurrection. It wavers between the party of the Terrorists and the partisans of the Chouans; and, alternately attaching itself to each, leaves the public in doubt whether the revival of the system of Robespierre is the object, or the restoration of Royalty.—From the present tranquility, however, that exists at Paris, we should be inclined to infer, that there is as little foundation for this report as there was for the rumour circulated some months ago with such pomp and circumstance of alarm, of an insurrection that was to take place in London. Yet the report has been noticed by the Committee of General Safety, who have given a solemn assurance that they have taken the proper measures to quell any insurrection that may occur.
MADRID, April 14.
The corvettes La Scopeta, L'Audace, and L'Abotelle Goletta, that sailed from Cadiz about the end of July, 1789, have returned from a voyage of discovery on the Coast of South America and the adjacent islands, from Cape Horn to the extremity of that coast.—The navigators in this voyage are convinced that there is no passage from thence into the Atlantic Ocean, between the latitudes of 59 and 61.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Doulcet: "Your committee has engaged me to propose to you the following decree:
I. The National Convention approve of the conduct of the Representatives of the people in the department of the Var, of the Mouths of the Rhone, in the fleet, and in the army of Italy; and of all the measures adopted by them for the reduction of the rebels of Toulon.
II. The National guards and troops of the line, who, at the desire of the deputies, marched against Toulon, and assisted in defeating and quelling the insurgents, have deserved well of their country.
III. The 8th article in the law of 14th Germinal, upon the mode of military promotion, says, that when a Representative of the people shall have been witness of any brilliant action, he shall, on the request of the commander in chief, possess the power of conferring the superior rank, merited by the officer who shall have distinguished himself.
The National Convention therefore confirms the appointment, made by the Representatives of the people, of citizens Paillot and Charton, to the rank of Generals of brigade.
Letourneur de la Manche. "The assembly is acquainted with the perfidious correspondence which Escudier kept up with the Rebels and Terrorists of Toulon. It calls to mind his being one of the instigators of the conspiracy which broke out in that place. I propose a decree of accusation against him."
Mariette. "I move for the same decree against Sal-
cetti, whom I consider as one of the chief directors of the disturbances in the south. It is he, who on the 20th of last Ventose, caused the introduction of 6000 Corsicans into Toulon, where their revolted.
Letourneur de la Manche. "I propose that the conduct of Salicetti be examined by the committee of legislation. I have been with him at Toulon, and it behoves me to say, that when acting with me, he always required the strictest obedience to the laws."
The Convention pronounced the decree of accusation against Escudier, and the sending to the committee of legislation the motion made against Salicetti.
19 Prairial—June 7.
Recall of deputies on mission.
In consequence of a motion by the committee of General Safety, the Convention considered, that, at the period at which the organic laws of the constitution are to be presented, it is of importance that all the Representatives of the people should be at their posts, recall those who have been on mission three months in the departments, those who have been on mission six months with the armies, and those who have been a month absent on leave. No leave of absence shall be granted unless previously verified by the committee of inspectors of the hall.
20 Prairial—June 8.
On the motion of Doulcet, the Convention decreed, that Talot, the deputy with the armies of the Sambre and Meuse, should be recalled.
The Emigrants.
The committee of legislation proposed, and the Convention decreed the repeal of the laws of the 6th Floréal, relative to the emigrants from the list of emigrants. In future the committee of legislation is not to propose any emigrants under the motives of the claim, and the names, age and quality of the claimants shall have been communicated to the members of the Convention, and stuck up in the Convention for five days.
It was decreed, that the laws concerning the fathers and mothers of emigrants should not apply to the parents of children not born in wedlock.
21 Prairial—June 9.
The Sections of Poissoniere, Fontain de Grenelle, Homme Arme, Republique, and Gardes Francaise, informed the Convention, that they had given up their cannon, and that they wished for the suppression of cannoniers of the Section. Honourable mention.
Cambacérès, in the name of the committee of Public Safety. "Your committee have received most important dispatches, dated the 9th Prairial, from headquarters before Luxembourg.—Luxembourg has surrendered, and the fortress, the most formidable in Europe, is in the possession of the republic."
[The plaudits with which this intelligence was received lasted for several minutes. The members rose with repeated acclamations of Vive la Republique, indivisible et invincible.
Our colleague, Talot, writes to us as follows:
19 Prairial—June 7.
"Luxembourg belongs to the republic. This day, at three o'clock, the republicans are to be put in possession of Fort Charles. I shall send you, in a few days, the colours of the garrison, which is composed of 10,000 men, together with an account of the ammunition, stores, and cannon found in the place."
"The garrison, in consequence of the capitulation with Marshal Bender, the governor, is to march out with the honours of war, on the 22d; to lay down their arms on the Glacis; to surrender their horses and artillery; and to take an oath not to serve against the republic, or her allies, until they have been regularly exchanged. They are to be conducted to the right side of the Rhine, and are to cross the river at Coblenz."
Cambacérès then read the articles of capitulation, proposed by marshal Bender.
Art. I. The garrison shall march out with the honours of war.—Answer. Granted.
Art. II. The garrison shall march out on the sixth day, with arms, baggage, drums beating and two field pieces each battalion.—Answer. The garrison shall march out the third day, with arms, baggage, &c. but when they shall have arrived at the Glacis, they shall lay down their arms and take an oath, not to serve against the republic, or our allies, unless regularly exchanged.
Art. III. There shall be granted eight covered wagons, which shall not be searched.—Answer. Rejected.
Art. IV. The inhabitants of Luxembourg shall enjoy a free exercise of their religion.—Answer. The liberty of faith is insured to them, they conforming to the laws of the republic.
Art. V. Their properties shall be sacred.—Answer. Inhabitants ought to trust to the loyalty of the French nation. They shall be treated as the other inhabitants of the conquered countries.
By another article it is expressly stipulated that the emigrants, of every description, shall be delivered over to the French troops.
A letter from the Representative Talot, confirmed these details. The garrison of Luxembourg consisted of 10,000 men.
Talot moved for some marks of national gratitude for the Adjutant General, Alis, who by his talents, had greatly contributed to the conquest of the place.
This officer, who was at the bar, was received with repeated acclamation; and the fraternal kiss was given to him by the President.
Cambacérès then proposed the following decree.
Art. I. The troops who have made the conquest of Luxembourg, and the army of the Moselle, which had paved the way for the conquest, have not ceased to deserve well of their country.
Art. II. The committee of Public Welfare is charged to provide for the advancement of the Adjutant-General Alis.
Art. III. The Representative of the people, Jeobart, immediately repaired to Luxembourg.
PLYMOUTH, June 14.
Last evening and this morning the following ships failed from hence, viz.
  Standard, 64, Capt. J. Ellison   Concorde, 36, Capt. A. Hunt   Carysfort, 36, Capt. J. Murray   Orestes, 18, Capt. T. Orock 
The two former are to join Sir John Borlase Warren's squadron, off the Berry Head, and proceed on a secret expedition on the coast of France. A French lugger, which arrived here some days ago, with dispatches for government, failed with those ships.
The Carysfort and Orestes are to proceed direct for Jersey.
Thirty ships of war, of different rates, are certainly fitting out in the Dutch ports. Several privateers are already out from the Texel, but chiefly manned with Frenchmen.
The officers of Prince William's regiment have been insulted at York by the populace, for inflicting punishment upon some culprits of the army. One or two of the ringleaders of the mob were taken up, and, we trust, will be made an example of for the unpardonable outrage of which they were guilty.
On the 13th ult. the Elgin Fencibles, raised and commanded by the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, were inspected at Perth, by Lieut. Gen. Sir Hector Munro, K. B. Not one man of the whole complement was rejected, and of an hundred supernu-
merous, the general objected only to twelve. Next day they marched from Perth, on their rout to Ireland, 750 strong, leaving only three men behind them.
Yesterday the funds looked upwards, in consequence of the late accounts from the Continent. The fall of Luxembourg, so important to the fate of Germany, will probably accelerate the negotiations for peace.
LONDON, June 16.
From the Sun.
We some time ago stated our doubts of the truth and extent of the capitulation of the Royalists and Chouans, as represented in the proceedings of the Convention. We are now justified in those doubts by the intelligence from France. The Chouans are in great force in the departments of Finistere, Cote du Nord, and Morbihan, and the Royalists are again forming themselves in La Vendee. The former are said to have received a severe check on the 2d inst. when their camp is stated to have been attacked and stormed near Orléans, and 1100 of them killed; but these conventional accounts have been so often found to be fallacious, for the purpose of misleading the people, that they are not much to be depended upon.
An article from Rennes, of the 6th Prairial (May 27) states, that the war with the Chouans is again broken out. In the departments of Ille et Vilaine, Morbihan and the Cotes du Nord, they have corps of cavalry. They disarm whole Communes, cut down the Trees of Liberty, and massacre the Republican soldiers. They have formed several corps of cavalry, and are altogether in very formidable force. It is doubtless on certain information of this sort that the expedition to Brittany is immediately to be carried into execution.
On the 9th instant the Louis d'Or sold at Paris, for 570 and 580 livres in assignats.
The scarcity, and consequent enhanced price of every necessary article of life, increases very much at Paris; and though a temporary tranquillity prevails there, the general dissatisfaction was augmenting every day.
By letters received this morning from Jersey, of a recent date, we learn, that Sir Richard Strachan, with his squadron, was there watching a convoy, ready to sail from Cherbourg, and probably bound to Brest.
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
18 Prairial—June 6.
Victory over the Spaniards.
Blad in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, read the following letter:
Marbot, General of Division to the Committee of Public Safety.
"Citizen Representatives, I gave orders for forming a camp, which the enemy had erected between Clossua and Elgobar, which was executed with the greatest success.
"Persuaded that my fellow citizens will hear the details with pleasure, I subjoin the report of Gen. Marbot.
(This report to-morrow.)
The National Convention recalled the Representative, Caudon Rosseau, with the array of the Western Pyrenees, and appointed the Representative of the People, Anguis, to succeed him.
TOULON.
Doulcet, in the name of the Committee of Public Safety—"Representatives of the People, I am now enabled in the name of the Committee of Public Safety, to confirm the happy news I announced to you at the last sitting.
Toulon, like Paris, has had its 20th of May, but it has also had, like Paris, its 23d of May.
"Republican triumphs in the south, terrorism is destroyed; many rebels have bit the dust ; three hundred of them have been made prisoners, others have taken refuge in the neighboring Communes. They will not have time to mislead them; they will be instantly pursued, and the law will strike them, there only remains to the Convention one pleasing duty to fulfil, that of paying a just tribute of applause to the citizens of the South, and to the troops of the line, who, at the instigation of the Representative of the People, have concurred with every means in their power to produce that brilliant victory which justice has now obtained.
"The Representatives of the People in mission in the South, have shown themselves worthy of the French Nation and the principles they possess.
"Niou, who remained on board the Squadron, has not displayed less energy than zeal. Before the arrival of his colleagues, he had, by a proper and just proclamation, worthy of the occasion, recalled to the standard of the Republic many citizens, composing the crews, whom, for a moment, the insurgents had succeeded in misleading.
"Subordination is established in the fleet; it burns with the most ardent desire to put to sea, in order to combat and conquer the English; thus will the marines, whom they had seduced, expiate the wrongs of which they had been guilty.
"You will find in the official dispatch, which I am now about to read to you, the assurance that the citizens of the South, full of indignation at the late plots, planned and executed in Paris, against the National Representation, were ready to unite their force to that of the Communes, for your protection and security, with which are connected so intimately the success of the Revolution, and the triumph of liberty.
Thus, then, Representatives of the People, you may rest assured that terrorism will no longer lay waste this unhappy country. The blood of enlightened, and that of good and honest Patriots, will not crimson the earth; the sword and scaffold will no longer be the lot of innocence; they are exclusively reserved for counter-revolutionists, and plunderers.
"One more Terrorism and Vandalism are destroyed, never to resume their reign. Liberty, Equality, Justice, and Humanity, shall henceforth be the rallying cry of all French Republicans."
The Death of Young Capet.
Sevestre, in the name of the Committee of General Safety—"For some time the son of Capet was ill of a swelling in his right knee, and in his left hand. He lost his appetite, and a fever seized him. The celebrated Dufault, the surgeon, was appointed to see and attend him. His probity and his talents were a sufficient pledge for us that he would neglect none of those duties which humanity demands from us. Ne-
vertheless the disorder increased, and began to assume a more serious aspect. On the 16th Prairial Dufault died. We immediately appointed the Citizen Pellatin, a physician of acknowledged ability, and the Citizen Demanger, head surgeon of the Hospital of Health, to attend the boy.
"The Bulletin of yesterday, at 11 o'clock, announced very dangerous symptoms, and at half past two o'clock in the afternoon, we received a report of the death of the son of Capet. The committee of General Safety have directed me to communicate this event to you, and to move, that the Procès Verbal , which I hold in my hand, shall be deposited in the National Archives." Decreed.
The executors of Mably presented a petition to the Convention, in which they requested that the remains of that great man might be deposited in the Pantheon. They also presented to the Convention a complete edition of his works, in 16 volumes, octavo.
Dufault, the contemporary of Mably made a very eloquent speech in support of the petition. He moved, that the Committee of Public Instruction should present a report upon the subject.—Decreed.
The Decree relative to the restoration of the effects of condemned persons was finally adopted.
BRUSSELS, May 28.
The greatest activity prevails now in our arsenal throughout the Belgic provinces; upwards of 10000 gun carriages, and 13,300 ammunition and transport waggons are actually getting ready.
NAPLES, May 9.
The English fleet at present at Leghorn is now preparing to sail, as the French fleet from Toulon will probably soon make its appearance at sea again, and as it is expected, will attempt to prevent the joining of the fleet expected from England with that of Admiral Hotham, but therein they will hardly succeed. The two captured French ships of the line the Ca Ira and Le Centaur, have both been condemned as unfit for further service. They have therefore been appraised and the prize money valued at 71,000. sterling, which is now to be distributed among the officers and sailors of the English and Neapolitan ships.
A v. d. from Alexandria, arrived at Leghorn, brings an account that the harvest in Egypt has turned out very plentiful, and that already 300 vessels laden with flour, have sailed from the several ports of Egypt, for different parts.
The Convents and other Ecclesiastical institutions in Milan are obliged to contribute one million of Guilders to the expenses of the war for this year.
The English ship of war the Argus lately came to an anchor before the harbour of Genoa, but did not enter the same; the reasons for it were as follows: The crews of 3 French frigates lying in the harbour of Genoa had agreed to attack the English crew in order to avenge the French failures which had been maintained by the British on the 14th October 1793, at Genoa. The officers of the French frigates attempted in vain to persuade their people to desist from their intention; the Governor of Genoa therefore thought proper to inform the English Captain of the danger which threatened his people.
GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES.
AUGUST 5.
The Aurora says the President has not signed the Treaty—An impression is designed to be made by this that may be easily obviated—As the Pannels of the Aurora affect to be possessed of more information than their neighbours—a correspondent requests them to resolve this query.—Has the President returned the Treaty to England, with the conditional Ratification by the Senate.
The writers in the Aurora of this morning, speaking of "the Washingtons, the Adams, the Jays, the Ellsworths of America"—Ask "When have they all been abused as Traitors?" A Correspondent asks "Is there a distinguished Patriot now in the Administration of the Government, or any one who has been in the public service since the United States became a nation under the federal constitution who has not been abused as a Traitor in the Aurora, and other papers of the same stamp—Nay—not content with abusing the most illustrious Patriots individually—the scribblers in those papers, Robespierre like, have applied the guillotine of slander to the characters of Twenty of them en masse ."
ALL Persons having any demands on the Minister of Great Britain, are desired to send their accounts for payment to his route No. 276 High Street, before Saturday next, the 8th of this month.
