PRINTED & PUBLISHED By Matthew Carey, No 118, Market Street,
1. Charlotte, a tale of truth,
By Mrs Rowson, of the New Theatre Philadelphia. Second American edition—Price 75 cents. [The rapid sale of the First Edition of this interesting novel, in a few months, is the best proof of its merit.] Extract from the Critical Reviews, April 1795, p. 468. It maybe a tale of truth, for it is not un- natural, and it is a tale of real distress— Charlotte by the artifice of a teacher, re- commended to a school from humanity ra- ther than a conviction of her integrity of her regularity of her former conduct, is en- tered 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 inconst- ancy of her lover, and treachery of his friend—The situations are artless and af- fecting; the descriptions natural and pa- thetic; we should feel for Charlotte if such a person ever existed, who for one error, scarcely, perhaps deserved so severe a pu- nishment. If it is a fiction, poetic justice is not, we think, properly distributed.

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
The authors have presumed to affix to their title the epithet Impartial ; and the reason is, because they cannot charge them- selves with feeling the smallest bias to any party, but that of truth and liberty; and they flatter themselves, that their readers will find not only every circumstance fairly represented, but every censurable action, whichever were the authors or actors, mark- ed in its proper colors. If it was necessa- ry to make a declaration of their own princi- ples, they would say, they are neither tory nor republican—They love liberty as Eng- lish wings, and execrate every criminal act by which no noble cause is endangered and disgraced. In the present ferment of the public mind, they cannot flatter themselves with the hopes of seeing this claim universal- acknowledged. On the contrary, they ex-
well assured that their pages will not be acceptable to the zealous of either party. But when time shall dissipate the clouds of political deception, they will with some confidence expect that verdict from public opinion, which candor and moderation seldom fail to receive.
EXTRACT FROM THE CRITICAL REVIEW, JANUARY, 1794—page 12.

UNITED STATES.
NEW-YORK, April 2.
DECLARATION
Of the Commissioners delegated by the National Convention of France to the Windward Islands.
To all the Neutral Nations trading with said Islands.
Eight hundred Republicans and two French frigates, have conquered the island of Guadalupe; eight thousand chosen troops, six line of battle ships, and twelve frigates, will yield to that courage, virtue and love of one's country which animate a republican breast.
With such inconsiderable forces, but entirely devoted to the triumph of Liberty and Equality, we have overcome all obstacles, and finally drove from this fertile and now free country, the remainder of this pilfering horde.
The vile fatellites of George, these infamous promoters and supporters of all kind of robbery, ashamed of their defeats, and unable to resist a generous enemy, endeavored to satisfy their insatiable avidity, by plundering under frivolous pretexts, neutral vessels.
Nay, they exhaust all the resources of craft and peridy, in order to distress them with impunity, and they are going in the footsteps of Charles Gordon, commander at St. Lucia, John Vaughan of glorious memory, at St. Eustatius, and Benjamin Caldwell, pretend to colour their detestable robberies by an insignificant proclamation, which declares the island of Guadalupe to be in a state of blockade, as if it was possible to block up such an extensive coast!
The present moment do they chuse for issuing an extravagant proclamation. And have not our fleets of war and other armed vessels, within these few months, burnt or otherwise destroyed eighty-eight of their vessels? Which may easily be ascertained by the condemnations of the tribunal of commerce of this island, and by the different papers and documents belonging to said vessels. And are we not ready at the same moment to attack their colonies and there convince them of the impossibility of blocking us up?
But rob they must! That is the great principle of the English military service. In such a corrupted government, no preference can be obtained but for money; and money must be had no matter by what means; if they cannot get it from their enemies, they are half enough to turn pirates, and sack neutral vessels, who are not able to defend themselves.
From this sketch of the sordid intentions of the English, the dignity and independence of neutral powers require, that they should be upon their guard, and provide against the perfidious vexations which this pretended blockade prepares to their trade.
We do therefore, of our side, formally declare, that we shall never deviate from the principles of equity and benevolence, which have directed all our operations, during and after the re-taking of this island, and that all neutral vessels shall here be well received and protected, as far as it lies in our power; we assure them, that the English rodomontades inspire us only with contempt, and that our enemies shall soon have reason to repent of their rashness and insolence.
This our present declaration shall be officially transmitted to the respective governments of the islands of St. Bartholomews, St. Cruz, and St. Thomas, and further to the Congress and Legislatures of the different states in America, through the means of the French minister in Philadelphia.
Port of Liberty, the 3d day of Ventose (21st February, stile of the slaves) in the 3d year of the republic, one and indivisible.

NATIONAL CONVENTION.
February 7.
The popular society of the commune of St. Flour addresses the Convention: "We will have neither tyrants with red caps nor crowned tyrants. We vow an implacable hatred to both; we felicitate you on the return of the 73 deputies; we solicit the immediate punishment of the remains of Robespierre's faction; two long has the sword of the law been suspended over their guilty heads, it should at length strike; humanity outraged by them, virtue oppressed, innocence dragged to the scaffold, liberty covered with bloody garments, all call for this measure of necessary severity. Honourable mention."
The arrival of the Duke of Leeds a prize to the corvette Spartiate, with a rich cargo, was announced. [The Spartiate which failed from the Chesapeake on the 19th of November last, it appears also arrived some time before.]
February 8.
The family of citizen Cabel, late administrator and guillotined at Strasbourg, represent, that the head of the family was executed by the orders of St. Juste only because he had refused him a camp he had bought. They ask relief. Referred to the committee of legislation.
Upon the report of a member of the committee of succours it is decreed that the sum of three hundred and sixty thousand livres be distributed as a recompence among 400 defenders of the country, who have received honourable wounds.
A number of decrees of the same kind were also passed.
Several agents of the commission of transportation complain of having been turned out of office: That commission, they affirm, are all agents of Robespierre.
"Their chief, lay they, it is true has lost his life upon the scaffold, but that is not enough, it was necessary to guillotine his works and his workmen. This severe measure is the more urgent as the conquest of Holland will open a vast field to their dilapidations; and that if you do not hasten to stop those devastators, they will leave you not even a handkerchief to wipe the tears of the Republic." [This is surely not the language of Moderate calm reason; it is the language of passion and party violence—Thus these denunciators of the sanguinary reign of Robespierre, would wash the foul stain, in more blood.] Referred.
A report was made and accepted restoring General Meyer, who rendered important services to his country, to his liberty and rank in the army, and also allowing him the salary which had accrued during his confinement.
A female citizen appeared at the bar upon crutches. Having devoted herself to the care of the sick in the advanced posts of the army she had her thigh broke by a bomb shell. She prays for relief. Referred to a committee directed to report to-morrow.
Thureau, representative of the people with the army of Italy writes that the rigor of the season had impeded the communication of intelligence. It prevented the receipt of the decree ordering the celebration of the festival in remembrance of the punishment inflicted on the last tyrant king. It took place however after the 21st January, and the whole army swore upon their victorious arms, to execute for ever kings and tyrants and to shed their blood for the maintenance of liberty and the Republic.
The general of the army of the eastern Pyrenees announces that the same festival has been celebrated by our warriors there with equal enthusiasm. "We have sworn, says he, by the manes of the men of the 10th of August, by the manes of all those heroes who have fallen bearing arms in this glorious war, never to acknowledge a king or tyrant; and Brutus like, we will plunge a dagger in the bosom of whomsoever attempts to enslave our country."
Honourable mention of these two letters and insertion in the bulletin, decreed.
The citizens of the Commune of Chateau Benard denounce at the bar the disgusting sanguinocracy, the tyrannic madnels, the hideous immorality of the villains of their Commune. No amnesty?—[Another proof that the reign of real Moderation does not yet prevail in France; it is, we hope, at hand.]—The convention applauded vehemently this denunciation.
PARIS, January 22.
From Toulon.
Agreeable to a resolution of the representatives of the people this port has again assumed the name of Toulon, instead of Port-de-la Montagne. The division some time since departed for Algiers and composed of the following ships of war, la Minerve of 44 guns, l'Arthemide of 36, l'Alceste of 36, la Couraieuse of 36, la Brune of 22, la Badine of 22, la Hazard of 16, and l'Expedition of 14 guns, are just returned with 26 rich prizes. They sunk a great many more and brought above 600 prisoners, besides 28 of the ci-devant grandees who were found on board one of the prizes.
A great many Greek and Genoese vessels laden with wheat and other provisions, arrive daily in this port under Turkish colours. The activity which reigns in the dockyards is surprising; 21 ships of the line are ready for sea, and before the close of the third year of the Republic the Toulon fleet will be composed of 30 ships of the line chiefly new ones and constructed in a masterly manner.
By the ship WILMINGTON.
LONDON, January 29.
Yesterday the treasure and baggage of his serene highness the Prince of Orange was brought to town and conveyed to Kew, escorted by a party of the military. There were 14 large waggons, fully laden.
We speak from the best authority when we say, that the residence of the Prince of Orange and his family in this country, will be no expence whatever to this nation; his serene highness having remitted very large sums of money from Holland fully adequate to his exigencies.
The apartments in Hampton Court Palace will be ready for the Prince of Orange in the course of the next week. Lord Southampton's apartments in that palace are to be added to those which this illustrious family are to occupy; but this will be no inconvenience to his lordship, as he never went there.
The equipments determined upon by government for the current year, will increase our marine to 220 sail of the line, and one hundred and thirty thousand seamen, including marines.
On Thursday morning at day break, the Grand Fleet under the command of Earl Howe failed from St. Helen's, with a fine breeze of wind at N. E. Every well-wisher to his country must ardently wish it may sail in with the Brest fleet.
We have reason to believe, that in consequence of the difficulty of remitting to large a sum to the Continent, the Emperor's loan will be reduced from six to four millions sterling.
On Thursday the presents brought over by the Turkish ambassador were delivered at St. James's, they consist—
To the King a pair of gold Pistols; the hock and barrels solid gold; to which was a gold dagger, with a belt, ornamented with pearls and diamonds.
To the Queen and Princesses, a chest of silks, embroidered with gold; a plume of feathers for the head-dress, ornamented with diamonds.
To the Prince of Wales, Duke of Portland, and Lord Grenville, chests of Silks.
A Dutch frigate of 36 guns, now in Leith Roads, was on Saturday taken possession of by our seamen, for behoof of the Stadtholder.
As we learn from some of our constant readers, that the account of the meeting at Colchester, to consider a petition for peace, has been misunderstood, we think it right to say, from authority, that the petition was proposed by Mr. Halls, in a temperate and proper manner. Mr. Smithies, the rev. Mr. Twining, and the rev. Mr. Proffer, opposed the petition; and the arguments which those gentlemen adduced were so convincing, that out of 141 persons, who were present, 105 voted against the petition. It is much to be wished, that if any meetings of such a nature are held, they might be conducted with the fairness and good order, which prevailed at Colchester.
Yesterday the Turkish Ambassador made his long talked of Public entry into London. The day being fine the procession afforded a pleasant sight to a great number of spectators.
All the cutters and packets which failed on Sunday morning last from Dover, for Flushing, for the purpose of bringing off the English soldiers from the island of Zealand, are returned without completing the object of their voyage. They found the ice in such quantities on the coast that they were not able to get within ten miles of Flushing.
On Monday last, the Hannah and Mary American brig Wheeler, master, from Havre, arrived at Cowes.
Monday evening, the American ship Plymouthish, Capt. O'Brien, arrived at Plymouth from Brest, which place she left late on Saturday night last, with a strong breeze at S. E. We have the pleasure to announce the safe arrival in this ship, of Lady Ann Fitzroy, and sixteen other English ladies, who had been prisoners in France, but lately liberated from their confinement by a decree of the Convention; also Mr. Bligh, late of his Majesty's ship Alexander, and son of the gallant Admiral (now a prisoner at Brest), and the Captain of the Packet, on board which Lady Ann Fitzroy was captured. The two latter escaped from prison, and got on board the Endeavor just before she sailed.
It appears that the French Grand fleet failed 31st of December.
PLAN FOR AUGMENTING THE NAVY.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in consequence of a notice he had given relative thereto, moved that the house should enter into a committee of the whole house on Monday next, to consider of the most speedy and effectual means for augmenting the navy.
He said, he did not then intend to enter into any reasoning on the expediency of the measures to be proposed, but he thought it proper to state the propositions which he should then make:—
First. That notice be given to the merchants and traders of the different ports in Great-Britain, that no ship shall be permitted to clear outwards from any port in this kingdom, without having contributed a certain specific proportion of seamen for manning the navy, and producing a certificate thereof signed by the proper officer. He said, that in the mean time he should be happy to inform himself, from any merchants or other persons, who were capable of giving information, relative to any other mode of more effectually increasing the number of seamen.
Secondly, As he considered, that there were a great number of watermen in the internal navigations of the country, who may be very advantageously employed in a ship, he should propose, that the owners of that the owners of vessels in that trade should also furnish a proportion of their watermen, and.
Thirdly and lastly, He should propose, that as it was allowed by all, that there may be incorporated into each ship, a large proportion of landmen, there should be a general call throughout the kingdom, in all the counties, to furnish a sufficient number, according to the exigencies of the case; he said, that the magistrates and the justices of the peace should be obliged to represent the number of inhabited houses, which are not exempt from taxes, and that each parish should be obliged to contribute so many persons, according to the number of such houses therein; these contributions to be made subject to a fine, which being greater than the probable bounty necessary to raise men, would have the good effect to make them enter voluntarily into the service of their country.
Mr. Pitt allowed that these were strong measures, but under the present circumstances, he contended they were perfectly justifiable.
Mr. Grey expressed his conviction that every member of that house would concur in such measures; as they must meet their cordial and sincere wishes for the immediate augmentation of the British navy; but he hoped that the merchants, if they spared a proportion of their men, would in the most effectual manner possible be protected in their trade, which was so excellent a nursery for seamen. Mr. Grey said further, that the custom which had taken place
of impressing apprentices, was unfair and unjustifiable, and concluded by saying, that the recruiting parties in the different sea-port towns, who offered large bounties for landmen, were particularly injurious to the successful augmentation of the navy, as young men were pleased with a large sum of money and a fine cockade.
Mr. Jekyll wished to know what notice was to be given to the merchants who were to furnish the proportion of seamen.
Mr. Pitt said, that the requisition was not to extend to any ships that should clear out before the passing of the act; but it was to apply to all those which cleared out after; that the committee were only to consider the most speedy mode of laying an embargo, and the best mode of an augmentation in general.
The motion then passed nem. con.
NEW MOTION FOR PEACE.
Mr. Grey said, that the event of his late motion was, in every respect, so unsatisfactory to himself and the public in general, and the amendment proposed and carried by a Right Hon. Gentleman, was so ill calculated to convince the public mind as to the real objects and grounds of the continuation of the war, that he would at an early period bring forward a motion of a similar nature with the former, which would bind ministers to a more explicit declaration of the real and unequivocal motives for prosecuting it.

Amsterdam, Jan. 19th 1795, and the 1st Day of Dutch Freedom.
February 10.
Sir William Howe is promoted to the office of Councillor of the Tower, in the room of Lord Cornwallis.
Thursday an elegant dinner was given to Sir Charles Grey and John Jarvis, at the British Coffee house, by the Officers of the Navy and army who were in London, and served under them in the West-Indies, as a token of their regard and respect for their Commanders.
February 11.
Measures have been taken in Holland to set aside the Stadtholderian family, by a formal Act, and to now model the Dutch Republic, suitable to the wishes of the French Executive Government.
Late last night Mr. Hearne, the master of one of the Harwich Packets came to town with a petion whom he had picked up in an open boat at sea, coming over with dispatches from the Bri-

the army. This person who is a Swede or a Dane, left the army, as we understand on the 22d ult. six days after General Harcourt's last dispatch, dated from Voorhulsen, Jan. 10. The army, if we are not misinformed, was at Deventer when this messenger came away. One of the King's messengers had been dispatched on the 20th by the way of the Elbe, who is not yet arrived.
This adventurous foreigner came by the Isle of Ameland, where he run some risk of being taken, as the French occupied the main land opposite. He was nineteen leagues from the Dutch coast when he fell in with the English packet. He had four men in his little boat, one of whom was just perishing by the cold when taken on board the packet, and they would probably all have perished but for this fortunate rencontre.
Last night Government received dispatches from Admiral Earl Howe, at Torbay, stating, that if the South West winds increased in their violence, he was apprehensive he should be compelled to return immediately with the channel fleet into Spithead.
We mentioned some time ago, on authority upon which we could depend that the French fleet failed with a squadron of eight ships of the line and frigates victualled for six months, and a squadron of four ships of the line and frigates victualled for three months, each of them with troops on board. Information is said to have been received at the admiralty, that the one failed for the West Indies, and the other for the South-Sea perhaps the cape of Good Hope.
A meeting on the subject of the navy was held last week at Newcastle, the result of which was, the chusing of a committee, three of whom are to confer with Mr. Dundas, to recommend the suspension of the impress, to send into actual service the gangs and crews of the tenders, (amounting to said, from seven to ten thousand) to increase the wages of seamen in the navy, and to pay half of it monthly, for the support of their families.
Yesterday the several Owners, being now freed from their tenders made to the East India Company, waited on Mr. Dundas, to know in what manner Government meant to act, if to buy their ships, or only to take them on freight for a certain time? At all events these ships will lose their voyage this season, and it remains to be seen that compensation will be made the Captains and Officers, some of whom had ordered their investments, for their loss of command, time, and profit. The following thirteen ships are nearly ready for sea, and will carry each 64 guns, 12 and 24 pounders on two decks; besides carronades, &c. &c. on the poop.
   Tons. Commanders.     Brunswick 1200 Capt. Acland.   Bombay Castle 1100 Hamilton.   Arnilton 1200 Majoribanks.   Exeter 1200 Wilson.   Abergavenny 1182 Wordsworth.   Gratton 1200 Drummond.   Royal Charlotte 1252 Price.   Warley 1175 H. Wilson.   A New Ship 1200 Robertson.   Ceres 1180 Stevens.   A New Ship 1200 —   Hindostan 1248 Mackintosh.   A New Ship 1200 —  
It is also said to be the intention of Government to take into their service the largest ships of the Company next in rotation, so as to make the number in all amount to 25, all of which will carry 50 guns and upwards. This fleet, with a few 74's and a proper number of frigates stationed in the North Sea, will be fully sufficient to keep in check any naval force the Dutch may be able to fit out this summer, and will effectually protect the Northern part of this kingdom from the present threatened invasion.
GREAT YARMOUTH, Jan. 22.
On Monday last the Princess of Orange, the Hereditary Princess, and her infant son, with Count Byland, and several of the Dutch nobility who escaped from Holland, landed here. The inhabitants had but little notice of the event before they were put on shore; but they received them, however, with that generous sympathy which characterizes Englishmen, and every mark of respect was shown to these unfortunate personages that the time would permit of. The military were under arms in the market place, and the populace taking the horses from the carriages, drew their royal highnesses twice round it, and afterwards to the house of the Mayor, where such of the party as he could accommodate were entertained with the greatest respect and hospitality.
From the London Gazette, Feb. 10. His Majesty has been pleased to appoint general his royal highness the Duke of York, to be Field Marshal of the forces.
IRISH PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
THURSDAY, Jan. 22.
The House being assembled at half past four, a message was brought from the Lords by Mr. Hulley, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, to acquaint Mr. Speaker: that His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant desired the attendance of the Commons at the bar of the House; the Speaker immediately went up, attended by the House, and in about half an hour returned and took the Chair.
Lord MILTON, Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, as member for Naas, took the oaths and his seat; as did four other new Members for different towns and boroughs; after which Mr. Speaker read to the House his Excellency's speech from the throne to both Houses; which was afterwards read by the Clerk at the table.
In this speech, which was of very uncommon length, his Excellency repeats His Majesty's instructions to assure both houses that the liberty and constitutional happiness of all his subjects are his chief objects, and that to those great points his Majesty's exertions shall be uniformly directed. It states, that the disasters which have unfortunately marked the progress of the late campaign, and the conduct of some of the Allies, render it necessary to call on the energy of the faithful people of Ireland in support of the common interests of the empire, and the common support of our laws and happy Constitution. That nevertheless, however necessary the exigencies of the present alarming crisis might render an extraordinary supply, his Excellency was happy to observe, that the commerce and revenues of this country were in such a state of improvement as would tend much to facilitate the accomplishment of that support. The benefits arising from the Protestant Charter Schools were recommended as inducements to a further attention to other seminaries; and the unparalleled success of the linen manufacture, supported as it was by the wisdom and bounty of the Irish Parliament, annexed to the support it derived from the rich and extensive markets of G. Britain, would still further tend to recommend that important manufacture to Parliamentary consideration. The system of Education was also recommended to the earnest consideration of Parliament. His Majesty's reliance on the united spirit, loyalty and bravery of all his subjects, wherever dispersed, was looked up to for the defence of their happy Government and Constitution. The speech concluded with his Excellency's assurance of his own cheerful concurrence in every measure for the national advantages, and in flaking his public character upon his political conduct.
The Right Hon. Mr. GRATTAN, who took his seat on the Treasury bench, rose, and commenced a very energetic oration, by observing, that he was not much in the habit of moving Addresses in that House, and might possibly appear rather awkward in the motion he should make on the present occasion; but, in conformity with the principles he had maintained during the present contest, he should use the earliest opportunity of declaring his decided and unequivocal sentiments for supporting his Majesty in the present contest. Mr. Grattan then entered with much fire into the nature of the war on the part of France—the aggressive measures by which it was commenced towards Great Britain—the indispensable tie by which this country was bound, by mutual connection, by indissoluble union, by repeatedly avowed sentiments and professions to stand and to fall with Great Britain, or in support of the same King, Constitution, and Laws, and that consistently with these ties and professions, Ireland was indispensably bound to stand by Great Britain in the present alarming contest, and to share her fate. The system avowed by France was a direct and avowed attack upon, and a settled purpose to subvert all the settled governments of Europe, and an unequivocal determination to direct their principal revenge against these kingdoms in particular. But tho' the allied powers with Great Britain on the Continent had failed in the general object, though Russia stood aloof, though Prussia had withdrawn, though Austria was disheartened, and Holland submitted to conquest—would Ireland, in such a crisis, stand wavering on the conduct she was to adopt?—Would Ireland desert Great Britain in the hour of her adversity, after so many professions of attachment in the hour of prosperity? Would Ireland, the last, the best, and the sincerest friend of Great Britain, submit to the imputation incurred by the allies on the Continent, and, by her declaration, sign the sentence of her own destruction?
Mr. Grattan, with his great ability, drew multifarious sketches, to shew that the fate of this country, the possession of her genuine liberty, and the stability of her constitution, depended upon our vigorous support of the war, as the best means of accomplishing the objects of our beloved sovereign, a permanent and honorable peace, an object which, under the present avowed system of France, dictated to all Europe, and supported by her temporary successes, could never be attained for this country, without shewing to France by the exertions of united vigour, that these countries were determined to stand or fall by each other, and never to accede to the system so audaciously proposed by France for the adoption of Europe. By a decree of the French Convention, an accession to French Liberty and Equality, and the subversion of monarchy, were made the indispensable preliminaries to any negotiations for peace.—Would Ireland accede to a negotiation that must annihilate her Constitution? Would she consent to resign the blessings of true liberty, happy laws, and well regulated government, for this sanguinary system of tyrannic anarchy, which, under the name of Liberty, had borne down the happiness and prosperity of France?—He hoped not. He trusted this country had not so far lost the characteristic energy, spirit, and gallant loyalty of her inhabitants as ever to consent to such a system. The present state of the British empire was a dangerous and alarming crisis, and therefore upon the spirit and energy of Ireland would depend—perhaps the last opportunity of our evincing the veracity of our professional attachment to the sister kingdom. The least coolness, the least apparent want of unanimity in the grand cause of the empire, would serve but to weaken our mutual confidence, and give strength to our enemies; he remarked, that many attempts had been made to infect this country with French principles, but he was happy to find the poison had been resisted by the national loyalty of the people, or at most prevalent in a very partial degree—The garden of Europe, said he, is before you—touch not the plant of Gallic growth, for its fruit is death—though it is not the tree of life.
Mr. Grattan concluded by moving an Address to his Majesty, re-echoing in very warm terms, the assurances of the House to meet and support his Majesty in the principles of the speech. The Hon. Mr. Stewart, after a handsomely speech, in which he argued, that the natural finances of France were reduced to less than half their produce before the Revolution, and would not of course very long continue to support the present annual expenditure, which in the last year alone exceeded the amount of the national debt of England, seconded the motion. Mr. Duquerry lamented the disasters of the war, and condemned the war itself, as wanton, unnecessary, and unjustifiable. He contended, that in 1792, when Chauvelin, the French Envoy, came to propose terms to England, France was prostrate at the feet of the British minister, who might then have dictated the terms of peace—but he chose the war; and all the consequent disasters of his country; and the bloodshed of the war, was of course to be charged to him. He expressed his fears, that besides the thousands who had fallen on this occasion, the remainder of the British army were prisoners of war, through the treachery of the Dutch, on whose account we were unavoidably led into the contest. He concluded a very long and very elegant speech by moving an amendment to the address, in which it was professed, that the House was determined to support his Majesty in the war, but at the same time humbly recommending to his Majesty to adopt the best and most eligible means for attaining a speedy and honorable Peace, and praying his Majesty that any existing form of government in France might not stand as an impediment to the accomplishment of so important and desirable an object.
This motion was seconded by Mr. Agnew. The Right Hon. Denis Browne said he would oppose the amendment proposed by the Hon. Gentleman; as adopting it would be a dereliction of the war. The Hon. Gentleman asserted, as facts, matters that were unfounded, and argued from them that Great Britain was the aggressor in the war, in which we are engaged with France. The first object that led to it was the attack on our faithful Allies the Dutch; the second, the declaration of the Government of that country, that it would support rebellion wherever to be found; and the last, though not least circumstance of aggression, was a declaration of war on the part of France against England. Under these circumstances Great Britain entered into a war with France. The successes of France, inasmuch as they have increased her power, are additional reasons for persevering in the war. England possessed of no less than 400 ships of war, the most skillful officers, and the bravest seamen any power on earth can boast of, is able to wage war with the world on her own elements, and there will maintain her independence. He gave his firm and decided support to the address, contending it to be a full declaration that we will persevere with Great Britain in the war she is engaged in, till the object of it (Security) is obtained. It was also very warmly opposed by Mr. Grattan, Mr. Ponsonby, Sir Richard Murrgrave, Mr. Egan, and the Hon. Mr. Howard. It was supported by Lord Edward Fitzgerald in very pointed and laconic terms, who declared he did not fear a French party in this country so much as a court party. That he had less apprehensions from a Republican party, than he had from a Russian, a Prussian, a Hessian, a Dutch or a Hanoverian party. That he was no enemy to the Rights of Man, but to the confederacy of kings. That he considered the present war as equally unjust and tyrannical—a war of despotism against liberty, of kings against mankind, founded on the very same principle which the history of these countries showed we had nobly resisted against Louis XIV. when he attempted to dictate a Government to these realms, and restore to the Throne of G. Britain the abdictated race of the Stuarts. He was decidedly for the amendment. The question being put at length on Mr. Duquerry's amendment, was negatived without a division; and the original motion on Mr. Grattan's address being put, was carried on a division of 150 against 2. The Ayes who went forth being 148, and the two Tellers—and the Noes who laid within, being only the two tellers—Lord Edward Fitzgerald and Alex. Montgomery, Esq. A Committee was accordingly appointed to take the address into consideration, and report the same to the House.
The Right Hon. Mr. Conolly moved an address to His Excellency the Lord Lieutenant for his gracious speech from the Throne, which was seconded by Mr. Forward, and carried nem. con. The House after some farther routine business, and renewing the usual standing orders of the House adjourned to next day.
PHILADELPHIA, April 4.
The Dutch vessels in the harbour of Portsmouth were on the 24th of January, just after the landing of the Stadholder, actually detained by orders from the British Cabinet. There were then in that port, 2 sixty-fours, 1 frigate, 1 sloop of war, 6 East Indiamen & 70 merchantmen.
There was a common hall held in London on the 23d of January on the subject of an address to the House of Commons for a peace. The motion for the address was carried by a large majority.
In the House of Commons, Mr. Grey made a motion that it should be declared that "the existing form of government in France is no obstacle to this country making a peace with that people." Mr. W. Smith seconded the motion. It was rejected, ayes, 90, noes 264. Mr. Pitt on this occasion made a long speech declaiming against the French for rejecting the religion of their fathers, &c.
On the 3d of Feb. the act suspending the habeas corpus was continued in force, by the house of lords, but on the motion of the Earl Lauderdale with a limitation clause confining its operation to the 1st of July.
Gunboats are preparing to be moored off the several creeks and harbours in the North Channel. The building of 34 ships of war, of which ten are to be of 74 guns, 6 frigates of 40 guns, ten of 36 guns and 8 sloops is contracted for.
The question on an address in answer to a message from the king on the subject of the Imperial loan, was taken on the 5th of Feb. For the minister, 173—against him 58. Margate Bay was frozen, a circumstance that has not happened in the memory of man.
Mr. Grey on the 6th of February renewed his motion for peace in the words following; "That the present government of France is competent to entertain and conclude a negotiation for peace." Negatived 16 for—190 against.
By this Day's Mail.
NEW-YORK, April 3.
Yesterday arrived in town Col. Fitch Hall, of this city, having landed at Marblehead in a vessel from London.—By this gentleman we have our advices as late as the 9th of February.
LONDON, Feb. 3.
Three American vessels, laden with flour, arrived at Brest about the 10th of January, and five others at L'Orient.
They had begun to sell the prizes, of which there were about five hundred in Brest, exclusive of the large English ships, which they had fitted out as transports, store-ships, &c.
Yesterday Lord Grenville signified to all the foreign ministers resident in London, that the Stadholder will receive them this day, at the house of Baron de Nagel, ci-devant minister from the United States.
This, we are well assured, has given rise to several questions among the Corps Diplomatique:—"Was the Stadholder ever a sovereign prince, in such sort as to make it the duty of foreign ministers to pay their court to him?"—"If he ever had the rank of sovereign, must not his rights be now considered as more than doubtful, even by the ministers of the combined powers?"—"Can the ministers of neutral powers acknowledge him as Stadholder, after the abolition of the Stadholderate, which has no doubt already taken place?"—"In consequence of these difficulties, it is imagined that the ministers of the neutral powers will wait for the instructions of their respective courts, and that if they go to the Baron de Nagel's to-day, they will go in their private, not in their ministerial capacity."
February 4.
Government on Tuesday evening received an account not only of the arrival of the French fleet in the ports of Brest and L'Orient, but that the French have launched at L'Orient and Rochelle, seven new ships of the line, and six frigates, all of which have been sent round to Brest under jury-masts. Such is the alacrity of this wonderful people, whose navy, according to the London Gazette, was ruined by Lord Hood.
The Marquis Cornwallis has accepted of the offer of Master-General of the Ordnance.
The French having now the command of all the mouths of the Scheldt, no hope remains of bringing off the 87th Regiment from Bergen-op-Zoom. Four Regiments of Emigrants have been unfortunately left in the same place, to fall into the hands of their implacable countrymen.
On the 18th of January, affignats to the amount of 15 millions were burned at Paris, making with those before cancelled, 2,544,663,000, or 106,028,4581 6s. 8d. sterling.
By a report from the French Committee of Arts, it appears, that Crizen Seguin has discovered and brought into practice, a new mode of Tanning, much cheaper than the old, and so much more expeditious, that he can complete the tanning of calf-skins in 24 hours, and that of the strongest hides in seven or eight days. The process is ordered to be published, by the committee of public safety. Seguin has been enabled to establish a Tannery at Sevres, on condition of executing every order he may receive for the use of the armies at a price agreed upon, considerably under the usual price. He is also enabled to establish depots in various parts of the Republic, to facilitate the operations of the establishment at Sevres.
February 6.
Sir Sidney Smith has taken leave of the Admiralty, and gone to expedite his squadron of eight strong frigates appointed to take the station in the North Seas; since the acquisition of the Dutch navy to the French marine, it is too much to be feared that eight sail of the line should be added to Sir Sidney Smith's squadron to insure the scouring of the North Seas from the depredations heretofore committed on the British trade.
In the National Convention, the Sitting of the 22d, Cambaceres, in the name of the Committee of Government, made the report respecting the Royal Infant confined in the Temple. He discussed the political problem, Whether it were more dangerous to preserve, in the bosom of the Republic, the disgusting remains of the race of Capet, or, by transporting them, to afford a rallying point to the villains who have already embued their hands in the blood of their Country, and furnish a pretext to the Combined Powers which assist them. The Three United Committees were unanimously of opinion, to pass to the Order of the Day, upon Lequinio's Motion, relative to the transportation of the children of the deceased Capet. The order of the day was decreed, therefore, by the Convention, amidst the loudest applauses.
February 9.
Although not yet officially announced, it is pretty generally understood, that the Marquis Cornwallis succeeds the Duke of Richmond, as minister general of the Ordnance, and that the Duke of York is to be commander in chief. Lord Amherst and his secretary retiring upon pensions.
Another cabinet arrangement is also talked of, viz. that Mr. Dundas is to retire from the fatigues of the secretary of state's office, (perhaps to the snug repose of the house of Lords, retaining the office of treasurer of the navy, and the management of India affairs,) that Mr. Windham is to be secretary of state for the war department, and Mr. T. Grenville secretary at war.
PLYMOUTH, Jan. 30.
All the outward bound trade with their convoy still remain here, and no preparation whatever making for putting to sea, though the wind is fair, by which it is supposed that they will not sail from hence until the situation of the French grand fleet is known.
BALTIMORE, April 1.
There are letters in town from Basse-terre, St. Kitt's mentioning, that the negroes have arisen on that island, which created universal alarm. We impatiently wait for the confirmation of this intelligence.
Events daily unfolding serve to place in the strongest point of view the wisdom and policy of the Proclamation of Neutrality—and the good sense of the people of the United States in their universal approbation of that measure.

Valuable Property For Sale, IN THE STATE of NEW-YORK.
THAT valuable and well-known Estate, called SCOTIA, situate on the north bank of the Mohawk River, directly opposite the populous and flourishing town of Schenectady, at the foot of the water-communication from the Western Country, and Upper Canada; sixteen miles from the city of Albany, extending about two miles on the bank of the river above, and below the said town; this river is the only water communication in the United States with the great western Lakes. The roads from the western and northern parts of the state of New York, together with a number of other public roads here meet, and lead to the noted ferry kept opposite the said town.
It contains upwards of one thousand acres, a great proportion of which is interval or low land, calculated both for grass or grain, producing great burthens annually; it may be laid into a number of valuable farms, affording convenient and handsome building grounds; here is now on the premises two very large and commodious dwelling houses with large Dutch barns, barracks, hovels, stables, cart and waggon house, carriage house, store house, summer house, and other out-houses, on a commanding eminence near the bank of the river, affording a beautiful and extensive prospect of the river for several miles, the lowland, the town, and a fine lake of water, covering about thirty acres, well stored with all kinds of river fish, fowl, &c. there is a good grist mill on a never failing stream of water, a good frame house, &c. for the miller, also convenience above the mill for erecting more water works; there is a bearing orchard with nearly one thousand apple trees, set out, grafted of the best fruit; the gardens are stocked with all the various fruits the climate will admit; also several tenements with portions of land on short leases.
The land is point of fertility of soil, is exceeded by none in the state; there is now in the ground near two hundred bushels winter grain, which will be included in the above sale.
Also two small islands in the river, opposite the mansion house.
A view of the premises, it is presumed, will fully equal any description that can be given thereof.

American Landscapes. PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING IN AQUATINTA TWENTY-FOUR VIEWS.
Selected from the most striking and interesting Prospects in the United States; each of which VIEWS will be accompanied with a descriptive account of its Local, Historical, and other Incidental Peculiarities.
By G. I. PARKYNS, Author of the "Monastic Remains and Ancient Castles in Great Britain."
CONDITIONS.  That the work shall be published by Subscription; and that each Subscriber shall engage to take the whole set of Views, and shall pay for each engraving, if black or brown, 2 Dollars; and if coloured 5 Dollars.  That the dimensions of each engraving shall be 24 by 17 inches, executed in aquatinta, and published upon paper of a superior quality. The publication to commence immediately; and one engraving to be delivered to the Subscribers, on the first Monday of each succeeding month, until the proposed series shall be finally completed.  That with the last View of the series, shall be delivered an engraved title-page; an elegant characteristic vignette; a map of the route, connected with the prospects exhibited in the course of the Work; and an Alphabetical list of the Subscribers. 
TO THE PUBLIC.
THIS Work is offered to the public at a crisis peculiarly interesting to the Arts: Amidst the ravages of war, and the convulsions of a revolutionary age, they must inevitably languish and expire, unless the same happy country, which affords an asylum to the persons of the persecuted and distressed, shall foster and patronize the labour and ability of men of genius and talents. Advancing, indeed, rapidly to the zenith of power, reputation and opulence, America, even in a state of universal tranquility, must soon have become the rival of Europe in learning and taste, as well as her superior in morality and government. Under the present circumstances of the world, however, the opportunity occurs to anticipate the destined period of pre-eminence; and to render America at this eventful hour, the guardian and protectress of every science that can enlighten, and of every art that can adorn the human mind.
On this principle, more than the claim of merit, the Author presumes he shall not fail to attract the public attention; but still, he hopes, that he will not be found altogether undeserving or defective, either in the choice or execution of his subject. No country possesses scenes better calculated to inspire ideas of the beautiful and sublime; to exalt the soul of the philosopher, to enliven the song of the poet, or animate the pencil of the painter, than those which lie profusely scattered over the American continent: But unfortunately there is no country, whose native charms have been so superficially explored, or so imperfectly delineated. Hitherto, indeed the toil of converting a wilderness into a state of luxuriant vegetation; of providing the necessaries and comforts of life; and of adapting civil institutions to the genius of a new nation, seems to have been sufficient to engage all the strength, and all the talents of the inhabitants of America. The people of Europe, on the other hand, corrupted by wealth, and deluded by pride, have rarely, comparatively speaking, overstepped the boundaries of their continent in pure search of information or pleasure. The ruins of art, which encumber their domestic scenery, have been preferred to the novelties of nature which arise in other regions; and the time has been, that a View from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi would have been less valued, than the section of a palace, or a mutilated fragment of antiquity. But in respect to both, a revolution in situation and sentiment has been accomplished. The American finds leisure, with a retrospective and joyful sensibility of heart, to admire the graces, as well as to reap the abundance which providence has bestowed on this country; and the European is compelled, with an anxious and expectant eye, to look abroad for that peace & prosperity, which he can no longer enjoy at home.
The attention of mankind being thus directed towards this country, every thing that relates to its physical, as well as to its political interest, will, it is presumed, receive a liberal encouragement. The Author of the present work, therefore, confidently makes the experiment on a new subject, and in a new style of execution. The art of engraving in Aquatinta, has indeed, for some time been held in high estimation throughout Europe; its close imitation of finished drawings, and the free but forcible manner in which it depicts the light and graceful touches of nature, are properties, that seem peculiarly adapted to the American scenery, some of the tints and colors of which are certainly no where else to be found.
Exclusive of these advantages, it is likewise in contemplation to render the work a repository of descriptive topographical and historical facts respecting the circumjacent country from which the views were taken: but to give full effect to this part of his undertaking, the author must solicit the assistance of every citizen, who is possessed of authentic information, whether relating to the Natural history or to the memorable events, connected with the respective engravings. The map of the tour will exhibit the relative situation of the views, as well with respect to each other as to the principal Cities and Towns of the several States, commencing at the city of Washington.
As an additional recommendation to the favor of a patriotic public, it may not be improper to observe that the paper and every other article employed in executing the work will be of American manufacture, and of the best quality.
Twelve drawings are ready, and the utmost dispatch will be used in preparing and delivering the engravings. Amongst the number alluded to, the following may be mentioned:   1. A view of Mount Vernon, the seat of the President of the United States.  2. Philadelphia.  3. City of Washington.  4. New-York.   &c. &c. &c.
It is the design of the Author to finish those objects first, which are most important and interesting; and if the Public patronage shall prove adequate to the expence, he proposes to extend his undertaking to 24 Views, more than the number contained in the present Proposals. In that case, however, the first set of Views will be so arranged, as to form either an independent work for those, who may not wish to renew their subscriptions, or a series connected with the second set for those, who may wish to continue their patronage till the whole is completed.
Letters or other communications for the encouragement, elucidation, or improvement of the work, the Author requests may be addressed to him at New-York.
Subscriptions are received by Mr. Harrison, at his Print-shop, Maiden-lane, New-York by Mr. Carey, Book-seller, No. 113, Market street, Philadelphia, and by all the principal Book-sellers in the United States.

This Lottery will afford an elegant specimen of the private buildings to be erected in the City of Washington—Two beautiful designs are already selected for the entire fronts on two of the public squares; from these drawings, it is proposed to erect two centre and four corner buildings, as soon as possible after this Lottery is sold, and to convey them when complete, to the fortunate adventurers, in the manner described in the scheme for the Hotel Lottery. A net deduction of five per cent. will be made to defray the necessary expenses of printing, &c. and the surplus will be made a part of the fund intended for the National University, to be erected within the City of Washington.
The drawing will commence as soon as the Tickets are sold off. The money prizes will be payable in thirty days after it is finished, and any prizes for which fortunate numbers are not produced within twelve months after the drawing is closed are to be considered as given towards the fund for the University, it being determined to settle the whole business in a year from the ending of the drawing and to take up the bonds given as security.
The real securities given for the payment of the Prizes, are held by the President and two Directors of the Bank of Columbia, and are valued at more than half the amount of the Lottery.
The twenty four gentlemen who by appointment of the late Commissioners assisted in the management of the Hotel Lottery are requested to undertake this arduous task a second time on behalf of the public; a sufficient number of these having kindly accepted, it is hoped that the friends to a National University and the other federal objects may continue to favor the design. The synopsis of one of the Colleges, to form a branch of the National Institution, is already in the press, and will be speedily published, together with its constitution.
A complete PLAN of the whole of this important Institution, compiled from a selection of the best materials, ancient and modern, will be submitted to the public whenever the same may have gone through such revisions as may be necessary to establish the perfect confidence and general approbation, so essential to its present rise and future existence for the general good of America.
By accounts received from the different parts of the Continent as well as from Europe, where the tickets have been sent for sale, the public are assured that the drawing will speedily commence, and that the care and caution unavoidably necessary to insure a safe disposal of the tickets, has rendered the short suspension indispensable.
