From a London Paper.
THE EMPEROR'S RETURN TO VIENNA.
Francis II. and the magnanimous Col. Mack reached the vicinity of Vienna, in somewhat of a dolorous mood, looking back at every moment; to see if the French hussars were not behind them, and little expected the honors that awaited them without the gates of the imperial city.
Some loyal Germans, anticipating the conquest of their Sovereign, had there erected a triumphal arch, adorned with emblematic figures, and covered with inscriptions in excellent Latin. The gentle Emperor, who was slivering beneath his cloak and a dog-days sun, hardly knew who was meant by a brawny Hercules treading upon a hydra; but as to Colonel Mack, he recognized himself immediately on seeing the words—"the Saviour of the Netherlands," written over a river God, with a trident in his hand making water.
Cesari invictio! said the Emperor lifting up his banner to read an inscription on the arch; Cesari invictio! repeated he, pulling it down again over his eyes, and gazing for some time after in silent dudgeon. The mighty Colonel, who perceived that his master felt something like irony in this well intended praise, wished much to stop the career of this reflection, and to offer a few consolatory words.
The subject, however, was so ticklish that he did not know where to begin: he twirled his whiskers; but if he had wrangled every hair on his beard, he would not have found a sentence suited to the occasion; at last, he luckily thought of invoking the German Muse, and took up his pipe, which was mouldering away in a corner of the carriage; then pressing the ashes with his little finger (for the brave Colonel never was afraid of fire) and administering the tube to his mouth, he drew in an enormous whiff, full six feet long Rhineland measure, and blew it puff into the sacred face of Francis the second.
The sudden gust of smoke, by God's blessing, awakened the Emperor from his painful reverie; but as the Devil would have it, it had such an effect upon his weak lungs, that his Imperial, and Apostolic Majesty was nearly suffocated.
By this time, the good people of Vienna, had learnt the approach of their Sovereign, and were standing at their doors and windows in expectation, of hearing the horns announce his arrival; after conquering France, said the good people of Vienna, and being so long absent from his wife he will certainly come back with horns—No horns, however, could they hear; but at length they perceived their mighty master scaling down the bye streets to the council chamber. Aye, said the people of Vienna, he is modest, like his uncle Joseph, and like him, he makes no parade of his victories.
The council was sitting—The hoary Kaunitz finding by his last dispatches, that the Emperor had promised his faithful臣民 that he had conquered French Flanders, and not doubting but he would fulfil his royal word, had called together the counsellors to make a division of the spoils of the enemy. After a short debate, they had determined that the Dutch should have all the conquered country, as a barrier, in the hands of their ally, to protect them from the French: that the English should have all the honor of paying for it; and that the Emperor should keep nothing but the sovereignty and the revenues.
This disposition they made known to Caesar when he entered, with manifold congratulations on the speed of his triumphant career. I have not as yet conquered all the French Netherlands said the Emperor—your majesty, said Kaunitz, has probably taken no more than Hainault, the Cambresis, and Artois—The Emperor shook his head—Mauheuge at the least is in the hands of your troops—the Emperor shook his head with some impatience. Oh! said old Kaunitz, I see how it is; your victorious army is at Courtray and Menin, ready to seize its certain prey—the French army is at Menin and Courtray, said the Emperor, pettishly.
The French army is at Menin and Courtray! All the aged counsellors drew their chairs close to the Council Board, planted their elbows upon it, and resting their chins upon their hands, sat looking each other in the face, and in that posture, no doubt, they would be sitting still, if they had not been rouzed by the sudden sounding of a horn.
It was a messenger from the army. The French have taken Ypres, said the messenger—Tan-tara. It was a second horn, and a second messenger. The French have taken Charleroi—Tan-tara. A third messenger came in—The French have taken Mons—Tan-tara. The French have taken Brussels, said a fourth messenger.
As the messengers successively brought the dolorous tidings, the jaw of the aged Kaunitz kept dropping an inch at a time; but when he heard that the Carmagnols were in Brussels, the poor old man, who like Ulysses's old dog, had protratted his feeble existence to see his master's return, was seized with the mortal convulsion, and gave up the Ghost. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Messrs. Dutilap and Claypoole.
If you think proper to lay the following information before the public, you may rely on its being true.
Three days before my departure from Cork, arrived the ship Fames, of Boston, Henry Davis, master, from Norfolk for Liverpool, laden with Tobacco. She was captured on the 15th August, off Cape Clear, by the Agricole, a French frigate of 50 guns and 500 men, and after putting six men, and a prize master on board, sent her for Rochfort. On the 18th, capt. Davis, with three of his men, who were left on board, rose on the French, retook the ship, and brought her to the Cove.
On his arrival, he made application to Capt. De Courcy, of the Pearl frigate for assistance; upon which an officer and crew were immediately put on board, and the ship proceeded for Liverpool, her destination. Capt. De Courcy, I was informed, demanded a salvage.
Capt. Davis was told by the Commander of the Agricole, that he was determined to seize on all American vessels bound into British ports.
On the 4th of October, in lat. 36, 40, long. 60, fell in with, and was boarded by the Blanche frigate, Capt. Faulkner, to him I was carried, with my papers and treated very contemptuously. They examined my logbooks, bills of lading, manifest, register, clearances, &c.—my clearance from Philadelphia, to Cork, and the manifest of my outer cargo, and the proceeds thereof, were demanded, and whether I had Frenchmen and property on board. Upon enquiring whether emigrants and their property, (if I should have any on board) were liable to seizure, I was answered by the Captain, that Frenchmen appeared under no such descriptions; that he was determined to take all he fell in with.
He also told me, that he had a long list of the Merchants of Philadelphia who were constantly supplying the French, and mentioned the names of several—A list of my passengers names was made out, and an officer took possession of my ship while I remained on board the frigate. After a detention of two hours I was dismissed.
On the 17th inst. off the Cape, I was chased for three hours by a three masted Schooner, till I was within the light house, when perceiving they could not come up with me, she bore away for a brig which was in sight to the southward of the Cape, and seemingly bound in. My pilot informed me that the Schooner was a Bermudian privateer.

UNITED STATES.
CATSKILL, Oct. 2.
An obliging correspondent at New-Town, has favored us with the following extract of a letter from Mr. Robert Newman, who passed through that town on his return from captivity, to Kentucky, where he belonged.
"S I R,"
Being informed that you wished an extract, of what has occurred to me, since my capture by the Indians, from General Wayne's army, in order that you might transmit it to the Catskill Press—pursuant thereto, I give you the following account:
"I was captured, returning from the river St. Mary's, to Beaver Creek, about 11 miles in advance of Fort Recovery, the 1st day of August. My then position, with respect to the army, was favorable for me, by exercising a little art, and telling a story, to mitigate the barbarity, and avert the cruelties, which prisoners generally experience when taken by the savages. But it will be necessary to trouble the community with those things which only concern me and the Indians.
"They asked me a number of questions to which I replied in a manner that I supposed most likely to secure my own ease and safety amongst them. They themselves made but very little enquiry concerning General Wayne's army, or his intentions. I was from thence hurried away to the Delaware towns, a little examined, and generally believed to be their friend. From thence to the foot of the Rapids of the Miami of the Lake, where Col. M c Kee lives. He made every enquiry, concerning myself, General Wayne, and the state of his army; and as he seemed to want to gain of me a great deal of information, or intelligence, I was very liberal in gratifying him in his desires. But the character of Colonel M c Kee being so notorious, I shall pass it over, only mentioning that he doubted my friendship to the Indians, and suspected me as a spy; and that he is one of the most eminent merchants in the scalping trade, and a kind of Quarter-Master-General to the Indian army, in the service of the British. From thence I was conducted by Ensign Thomas M c Kee (who is a British officer, and was in the battle fought the last day of June at Fort-Recovery) to Detroit. The commanding officer
at Detroit, particularly enquired whether General Wayne intended to march to the foot of the Rapids, and attack the British post at that place. I told him I knew nothing of Gen. Wayne's designs (particularly) but if there should be a British post in his road, no doubt he would treat it as he would an Indian village. He seemed very much surprised that Gen. Wayne should alter his course of march; and that it indicated some design against that fort, saying that his former intended route, was to the old Miami village.
"The people of Detroit seemed very much exasperated against the people of Kentucky, and made no secret of their prayers for the destruction of General Wayne's army. Colonel Bauhe marched the 14th of August from Detroit with two hundred men under his command, to the British Fort at the foot of the Rapids, in order to oppose General Wayne and strengthen that garrison.
"When the Indians & white people returned from the battle at Fort Recovery, to Detroit, with the scalps taken in that battle displayed on a pole, according to their custom, they were saluted from the garrison, with the fire of three guns, and huzzas from the citizens.
From Detroit I was sent to Niagara to Governor Simcoe, where similar examinations, and enquiries, as at Detroit took place. The Governor is sending daily all kinds of military stores to the fort at the foot of the Rapids, ammunition, guns, tomahawks, and scalping knives; provisions and clothing in abundance.
"The Governor wished to know what Gen. Wayne (or Mr. Wayne as he called him) had Congressional orders, or orders from Mr. Washington, who is the head of the mob, in his language, to attack the fort or insult the British flag at the foot of the Rapids. I told him I knew nothing of General Wayne's orders, or what Congress had directed him to do. He wished that Gen. Wayne would dare to attack that fort, if he did he would soon put a period to the war; and the mode he would adopt, would be to cut off Gen. Wayne's army and make a conquest of Kentucky; destroy the mob; give honest people good government, and thereby produce peace, harmony, and good neighborhood.
"N. B. Captain Brandt was, when I left Niagara, at the mouth of Buffalo Creek, holding a council whether the savages in that quarter should go and assist the hostile Indians in driving General Wayne from their country: And I rather think they will go, because the British are pressing and urging them to war.
"All the soldiers (but a very few left) from the garrisons, at Niagara and Lake Erie, to this new fort, at the foot of the Rapids; and their places supplied by the militia.
"This same Mr. M c Kee who accompanied me to Detroit, was the man who carried wampum and an invitation to the Hurons to go to war; and I was present when he delivered it, on his way to Detroit.

Extracts from the Log-Book of the Brig Washington, Capt. William Mason.
May 26th, took the command of the brig George Washington—one of the convoy bound to France.
July 13th, at 6 A. M. got under way in company with the Concorde, Lalcafas, Prompte, &c. and the rest of the fleet under their convoy, and at 8 proceeded to sea. July 14th, in company with the fleet proceeding for France—weather foggy, at 6 A. M. fog cleared away—law 4 sail to leeward, Concorde made the signal for an enemy—at 8 A. M. made the signal shift for your selves. At half past 10 received 5 shot from the Resolution of 64 guns, and left him immediately after—fell in with the Thetis of 40 guns, who fired 2 shot at us—She came up so fast, that I was obliged to heave too for him—sent his boat with hands to man the brig, removed the crew on
board the Frigate, and ordered the brig to Halifax.
The above mentioned ships were a squadron under the command of Admiral Murray, viz.
   Guns.     Resolution, the Admiral's ship. 64   Argonaut, 64   Thetis, 40   L'Oiseau, 40  
July 22d, Arrived at Halifax. August 25th, Arrived a ship from Charleston, Capt. Brown, bound to Corunna, laden with rice, and ship Eliza of Boston, prizes to the frigates Thibe and Cleopatra—the latter had been taken by the Thetis; the master and 2 black men were left on board, who re-took her from the Prize Master and 11 seamen belonging to the Frigate—a few days after, fell in with the Arica who retook her again.
August 30th. The ship Success was finally adjudicated by the Admiralty Court—Having been an English bottom, taken by the Sans Culottes, and not legally condemned, is to be restored to the owners, captors to receive salvage—Master to have his own private adventure.
Sept. 2d. All the American vessels having registers were acquitted—vessels to be restored, with the Master's adventures—Brig Maria excepted, her cargo being claimed as neutral property—which appeared very evident; but on the 4th, the Judge condemned both the vessel and cargo, on the plea that the master wanted to cover the enemy's property.
Sept. 9th. Arrived ship Eliza of Salem, Capt. Preble, from Bourdeaux, bound to Baltimore, prize to the Thibe frigate of 28 guns—taken in 7 fathoms water, close in with Cape Henry.
Sept. 10th. Brig Patomac having no charter-party, vessel and cargo were condemned.
Sept. 11th. The brig George Washington was acquitted, without any stipulation—also brig Murcia.
Sept. 21st. The Blanche and Cleopatra frigates failed this day, supposed with an intention to cruise off our Southern Coast.
Sept. 24th. Pres Gang seizing all sailors without any discrimination—The second mate of the Murcia, an American born, having been taken by the gang, was stabbed by one of the Officers, for attempting to escape, the wound fortunately did not prove mortal.
Sept. 25th. Applied to the Governor for the release of several hands pressed on board the Resolution, who gave his word they should be released.
Sept. 28th. My men having been released at 12 A. M. we made sail for sea, in company with the brig Commerce, bound to Salem—a number of respectable people assembled on the wharf, inhabitants of the place, well wishers to us in lending a hand to put the brig off.
Thus ends the transactions in Halifax, after a detention of near 2 months and 5 days.

The aristocratical prints affect to represent the execution of Robespierre as a victory over the republicans of this country, who, they pretend always considered him as the great luminary of French democracy. His death, on the contrary, is an instance in proof of the soundness of the opinion our republicans have ever held and expressed, that the French revolution or the liberties of any people do not rest on the excellence of any man. Principles and not men have ever been the objects of their attachment.
The papers under British influence, who have been endeavouring for some time past by every argument that sophistry could suggest to persuade the people that they have no right to express their sentiments on public measures, crowded immorally at the intelligence lately received of a temporary suspension of proceedings in the Jacobin Society of Paris. They artfully represented that intelligence as a death blow to popular societies in France and thence proceeded to shew the propriety of abolishing similar institutions here. The whole amount of the intelligence, however, (and the last accounts leave no further room for misrepresentation on this head) is that, at the critical period of Robespierre's fall the hall of the Jacobins was shut by the authority of the Convention; but two days after, we find an address to the Convention from that very society under a new name. We do not, and never did, pretend to advocate the measures at different times taken in that society to counteract or promote by other weapons than those of argument the proceedings of the constituted authorities: such attempts we always considered as an abuse of the right of free
ly discussing the conduct of public men and the propriety of public measures; yet from the abuse of the thing we are not to argue against its use. But even if the ruling party in France should by a tyrannical stretch of power prevent the exercise of the important rights of free enquiry, such conduct would change the question, and no man, in our enlightened republic would be swayed by the force of so pernicious an example and be tempted tamely to give up that right because it had been tyrannically wrested from his brethren the French.
Capt. Houston left at Trinidad, the brigs Recovery, Bunker, Philadelphia; Sally, of Wilmington, and the Jane, Motley, Portland, which were to sail in about 15 days after him for their respective ports.
Capt. Harding of the ship Pennsylvania, sailed from Liverpool the 26th of August, and had a newspaper of that date which he was deprived of on Wednesday last; by the Captain of the Resolution man of war, who took 2 of his men. Captain Harding and his passengers agree, that the French have taken Sluys and closely invested Breda. The British fleet was reported to have gone out to sea.
Capt. Luke, who failed from St. Petersburg the 6th of August, informs that the Russians have a fleet of 22 sail of the line in the Gulph of Finland, and another fleet almost ready for sea, at Cronstadt. The Poles have had some successes over the Russian troops—they surprised the town of Libbo, (a Russian seaport) where they killed 1000, and threatened Memel.
The following Interesting Intelligence, we have received from Captain Michael King of the Brig Pomonah in 43 days from Ferrol. It was communicated to him in writing just before he sailed on the 2d of September. A. D. A.
"On the 15th of July, the French forced and took the town of Vera, in Spanish Navarre.
"On the 2d August, they took Fuentarabia and Trun, on the side of Guipuscoa. And on the 5th, they peaceably entered St. Sebastian, apparently with the pre-consent of the citizens and deputies of the Province.
"The French have made themselves masters of the immense artillery and stores of all kinds, which were at the places taken. They soon after seemed to direct their march towards Bilboa; and have had an engagement with the Spaniards (who were but 4000 strong; the enemy 15000) on the 9th, at Tolosa three leagues from St. Sebastian, towards Ferrol. The Spaniards made a resolute stand, but were repulsed after losing one fourth of their number. It is to be observed that Vera is situated in valley, surrounded by eminences, therefore not tenable!—Fuentarabia, Trun, and St. Sebastian's, in locality, could have resisted, but there were not men enough to defend them. But government now seem to see into the danger of neglect so much, that accounts agree 167,000 men have been levied since the taking St. Sebastian. Sixty-seven thousand were intended to attack the French in Guipuscoa, whilst another army not less considerable, assembles at Pampeluna. The Biscayans (or more properly speaking, the natives of the lordship or independent sovereignty of Bilboa) have raised 24,000 men already under arms, and in the field. But all the riches of the adjacent country are removed to St. Andero, where is a third body of troops, chiefly volunteers. Extraordinary levies are making, and it is said all pensions and gratuities hitherto allowed by government, are already suspended. The Church and Nobility have offered 25 per cent. of their income, besides all the actual treasure belonging to the rich churches.
"Letters received from St. Andero of the 22d of August, mention that the French were dislodged from Tolosa, and that it was expected they would soon be dispossessed of St. Sebastian which they had not yet put in any state of defence.
"The Spaniards are assembling three armies in the N. E. of Spain—one at Pampeluna, another at Giemberry, (to prevent the junction of the French armies of Biscay and Navarre) and a third to attack the corps in the Province of Guipuscoa and St. Sebastian. And every information received by this port agrees, that all possible efforts are making to raise a sufficient army to drive out the French, and defend the frontiers of the kingdom. All the people not fully employed, are obliged to take arms. The nobility and clergy appear foremost to support the crown. The northern army is already 80,000 strong.

the head quarters are at Burgos, and advancing.
"There is every reason to believe that the French will be dislodged from St. Sebastian's before they are reinforced. On the frontier of Catalonia a division of the Spanish army of 15,000, under the command of Lieut. General Courten, obtained some considerable advantages on the 15th 16th and 17th current, driving the French, after the most bloody attacks, from San Lorenzo la Muga, [where there is a foundery] and from the Junquera, a strong barrier not far from Rosas. The Spaniards have had near 2000 killed, many wounded, and a few prisoners. But they have taken batteries, cannon, and prisoners, from the French, and a great quantity of stores &c. The information came by an extraordinary dispatch, from the Spanish camp, dated the 18th of August."

BOSTON, Oct. 14.
The following is a sketch of what took place in the French Convention, the day before the great explosion:
Wednesday, July 25.
The Jacobins addressed the Convention to denounce some strangers, whom Robespierre wished to drive from Paris. Referred to the Committee of Safety.
Thursday, July 26.
The sitting was tumultuous. Robespierre ascended the tribune. He said, that since he proclaimed a Supreme Being, the inveteracy of the successors of Helvet and Danton, had increased. He then endeavored to show the falsehood of a report of his proposing to have 30 members arrested—The Committee of Safety and Surety, said he, are the only pillars of liberty. The system of Dumourier, continues in Belgium; there they are re-planting the trees of Liberty, they wish to produce a change in the Republic's situation.—It is incumbent on the Convention to assume the dignity which belongs to its character.
Bourdon demanded that this speech should be inspected by the Committees, and then published.
Barre reconded. Couthon, said it would degrade the Convention to have speeches inspected by committees before printed—he moved that it be printed and sent to the Communes.
Vadier complained Robespierre had attacked in his speech, a report on Cath. Theos. Robespierre said he had no such intention.
Cambon. Robespierre has brought a charge against the present system of finance, by which, he says, I increase the number of disaffected persons. Robespierre replied, that he spoke of the system only, by which he repeated, many were ruined.
The debate grew warm. Freron demanded the rescinding of the decrees which allowed the apprehension of members of the Convention. Where is the man, said he, that can speak with freedom, when he dreads an arrest?
Varennes said if this was granted, it would degrade the Convention; for that was an unworthy member, who feared to speak.
Permis maintained the existence of Liberty depended on its adoption.
This dispute was got the better of by the order of the day—Robespierre's speech was decreed to be printed, and distributed.
BERLIN, August 9.
The Revolution in Poland. We are here in continual expectation of the news respecting the result of the siege of Warlaw, which has actually commenced. This siege cannot be carried on in form, because it is well known that the place has not any regular fortification: however, as that part which is most exposed to the Prussian army is covered by Kosciusko's intrenched camp, it has been found indispensably necessary to possess that first, in order to force the capitulation of the city. The attack was made accordingly on the 31st of July, by means of a heavy cannonade, during which several hundred bombs were thrown into the place. According to letters from the environs of Warlaw, on the 3d many houses were burned in the suburbs; but since that time, the formal bombardment has been suspended.
General Kosciusko, it is said, has 40,000 men armed, and is determined to defend himself to the utmost.
The army of the Russian General Prince Repnin is still in Samogitie.
LONDON, August 12.
The Corunna mail, arrived yesterday brought the Spanish official account of the battle with the French, on the 26th of June, at Puycerda.
The Madrid Gazette of the 22d ult.
states the loss of the Spaniards on the above occasion as follows: Sixty-six killed—forty-four wounded—two hundred and eight prisoners or missing—Regiments. Reyna, 53 killed; Principe, 11 killed, 11 wounded, and 21 missing; Cerona, 73 killed; Rutas, 54 killed, 23 wounded, and 61 missing; Sagunto, 1 killed, 3 wounded; Pailanos, 7 wounded. Captain Esteban Leal, Sub-Lieutenant; D. Joseph Lanza, of Principe's regiment; and Capt. Joseph Larragar, of Sagunto's, mortally wounded. Brigadier Benito Pardo de Figueroa, Colonel of Principe's regiment, a Captain, and four Snbalters, wounded; and a Captain of their grenadier company taken prisoner by the French.
The loss to the different fire-offices by the late dreadful conflagration at Ratcliff, is not so great as might be imagined. It is computed that 250,000l. will cover the whole property insured. The greatest part of this falls to the lot of the Phoenix and the Sun.
COMMOTIONS.
Tuesday a Court of Lieutenancy being held at Guildhall, by appointment, to hear appeals from the inhabitants of this city on the new Militia Act, the hall was entirely filled with complainants, who became very turbulent; the person of the Lord-Mayor was insulted, as was also Sir Watkin Lewes, and several other gentlemen: In a word, it was found necessary to adjourn the Court without coming to any determination.
Wednesday, about 1 o'clock, a mob collected opposite a Recruiting-house in Shoe lane, and, after expressing every mark of indignation against the persons employed in that service, broke upon the door, which had been locked and bolted on their first appearance, and destroyed the windows and part of the furniture, the City Marshals and some Constables soon came to the spot: but the principal object being accomplished, the mob defisted, though they did not disperse for some hours after.
A house of the same description in Bride-lane was the next object of their resentment, which they attacked so furiously, that in a very short time they left little else but the skeleton remaining. The furniture was demolished. A party of the Temple Volunteer Horse arrayed themselves on the occasion, and were stationed in different parts of the neighborhood, for the preservation of its peace, the remainder of the day.
At night an immense body of the mob made their appearance in Holborn, and beat a Recruiting House opposite Fetter lane with such violence, that, had not a party of Guards arrived to its protection it would have been levelled to the ground.
In the parish of Clerkenwell, a similar disposition to riot manifested itself in the course of the day; but no injury was sustained.
A mob on Wednesday night broke all the windows of the Raven, in Golden lane, and the Swan, in Moorfields, and very much damaged the Rum Puncheon, in Old street, and a private house in Long lane. They were all Recruiting houses. At the Coach and Horses, in Mutton lane, Clerkenwell, they were persuaded to desist by the landlady.
Lord Hood has obtained leave, since the blockade of Genoa is raised, to let as many British men of war enter that harbour as the law of that Country will allow. The French Resident Tilly, did every thing to prevent this, but in vain. The Committee of Public Welfare have since desired Tilly to give an account of the expenditure of the 5,000,000 of specie which this agent was ordered to distribute among the poor Patricians of Genoa.
August 23.
If we recollect right, Robespierre the younger, who took his last fraternal embrace a short time since on the scaffold, was the gentle swain who, soon after the evacuation of Toulon, expressed his longings for a piece of pie, made of King's flesh—himself, now food for worms.
August 25.
An admiralty messenger was dispatched early this morning with sailing orders to Lord Howe. The different divisions of the grand fleet will be commanded by the following valuable officers under his Lordship: Admirals Lord Bridport, (late Sir A. Hood, Bart.) Sir A. H. Gardner, B. Caldwell, Sir S. K. Elphinstone, the Hon. W. Cornwallis, and Sir T. Pasley, Bart.
A division of the Brest fleet, we are now assured, are cruising in the Channel, but of what strength we are not able to state.
It is estimated that the number of emigrants capable of bearing arms in this country, and on the continent, amount to 200,000.
Important State Papers.
We have been favored with the following OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS for Publication.
The undersigned Envoy of the United States of America has the honor of representing to the Right Honorable Lord Grenville, his Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State for the Department of foreign affairs.
That a very considerable number of American vessels have been irregularly captured, and as improperly condemned by certain of his Majesty's officers and Judges.
That in various instances these captures and condemnations were so conducted, and the captured placed under such unfavorable circumstances, as that, for want of the securities required, and other obstacles, no appeals were made in some cases, nor any claims in others.
The undersigned presumes that these facts will appear from the documents which he has had the honor of submitting to his Lordship's consideration; and that it will not be deemed necessary at present, to particularize these cases and their merits, or detail the circumstances which discriminate some from others.
That great and extensive injuries having thus, under colour of his Majesty's authority and commissions, been done to a numerous class of American merchants, the United States can for reparation have recourse only to the justice authority and interposition of his Majesty.
That the vessels and property taken and condemned, have been chiefly sold, and the proceeds divided among a great number of persons, of whom some are dead; some unable to make restitution, and others from frequent removals and their particular circumstances, not easily reached by civil process.
That as, for these losses and injuries, adequate compensation by means of judicial proceedings, has become impracticable, and considering the causes which combined to produce them, the United States confide in his Majesty's justice and magnanimity to cause such compensation to be made to these innocent sufferers as may be consistent with equity; and the undersigned flatters himself, that such principles may without difficulty be adopted, as will serve as rules whereby to ascertain the cases and the amount of compensation.
So grievous are the expenses and delays attending litigated suits, to persons whose fortunes have been so materially affected, and so great is the distance of Great Britain from America, that the undersigned thinks he ought to express his anxiety, that a mode of proceeding as summary & little expensive may be devised, as circumstances and the peculiar hardship of these cases may appear to permit and require.
And as (at least in some of these cases) it may be expedient and necessary as well as just, that the sentences of the Courts of Vice Admiralty should be revised and corrected by the Court of Appeals here;—the undersigned hopes it will appear reasonable to his majesty to order that the captured in question (who have not already done) be there admitted to enter both their appeals and their claims.
The undersigned also finds it to be his duty to represent, that the irregularities before mentioned, extended not only to capture and condemnation of American vessels and property & to unusual personal severities, but even to the imprisonment of American citizens to serve on board of armed vessels. He forbears to dwell on the injuries done to these unfortunate individuals, or on the emotions which they must naturally excite, either in the breasts of the nation to whom they belong, or of the just and humane of every country. His reliance on the justice and benevolence of his majesty, leads him to indulge a pleasing expectation that orders will be given, that Americans so circumstanced be immediately liberated, and that persons honored with his majesty's commissions do in future abstain from similar violences. It is with cordial satisfaction that the undersigned reflects on the impressions which such equitable and conciliatory measures would make on the minds of the United States, and how naturally they would inspire and cherish those sentiments and dispositions which never fail to preserve as well as to produce respect, esteem & friendship.
(Signed) JOHN JAY. London, 30th July 1794.
COPY.
The undersigned Secretary of State, has had the honor to lay before the King, the ministerial note which he has received from Mr. Jay, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States of America, respecting the alleged irregularity of the capture and condemnation of several American vessels, and also respecting the circumstances of personal severity, by which those proceedings are stated to have been accompanied in some particular instances.
The undersigned is authorized to assure Mr. Jay, that it is his Majesty's with the most complete and impartial justice should be done to all the citizens of America, who may in fact have been injured by any of the proceedings above mentioned;—all experience shews that a naval war, extending over the four quarters of the globe, must unavoidably be productive of some inconveniences to the commerce of neutral nations, and that no care can prevent some irregularities in the course of those proceedings, which are universally recognized as resulting from the just rights incident to all belligerent powers.
But the King will always be desirous that these inconveniences and irregularities should be as much limited, as the nature of the case will admit, and that the fullest opportunity should be given to all to prefer their complaints and to obtain redress and compensation where they are due.
In Mr. Jay's note, mention is made of several cases where the parties have hitherto omitted to prefer their claims, and of others where no appeals have been made from the sentences of condemnation pronounced in the first instance.
As to the cases of the first description, Lord Grenville apprehends that the regular course of law is still open to the claimants; and that by preferring appeals to the commissioners of prize causes here, against the sentence of the courts below, the whole merits of those cases may be brought forward and the most complete justice obtained.
In the cases of the second description the proceeding might in some instances be more difficult, from the lapse of the time usually allotted for preferring appeals—But his Majesty being anxious that no temporary or local circumstances, such as those to which Mr. Jay refers in his note, should impede the course of substantial justice, has been pleased to refer it to the proper officers to consider of a mode of enlarging the time for receiving the appeals in those cases, in order to admit the claimants to bring their complaints before the regular Court appointed for that purpose.
The undersigned has no doubt that in this manner, a very considerable part of the injuries alleged to have been suffered by the Americans may, if the complaints are well founded, be redressed in the usual course of judicial proceeding at a very small expense to the parties, and without any other interposition of his Majesty's Government than is above stated;—until the result and effect of these proceedings shall be known, no definitive judgment can be formed respecting the nature and extent of those cases (if any such shall ultimately be found to exist,) where it shall not have been practicable to obtain substantial redress in this mode.
But he does not hesitate to say beforehand, that if cases shall then be found to exist to such an extent as properly to call for the interposition of Government, where, without the fault of the parties complaining, they shall be unable from whatever circumstances, to procure such redress in the ordinary course of law, as the justice of their cases may entitle them to expect, his Majesty will be anxious that justice should at all events be done, and will readily enter into the discussion of the measures to be adopted, and the principles to be established for that purpose.
With respect to all acts of personal severity and violence, as the King must entirely disapprove every such transaction, so his Majesty's courts are always open for the punishment of offences of this nature and for giving address to the sufferers in every case, where the fact can be established by satisfactory proof; nor does it appear that any case of that nature can exist, where there would be the smallest difficulty of obtaining in that mode, substantial and exemplary justice.
On the subject of the impress, Lord Grenville has only to assure Mr. Jay, that, if in any instance, American seamen have been impressed into his King's service, it has been contrary to the King's desire; though such cases may have occasionally arisen from the difficulty of discriminating between British and American seamen, especially where there so often exists an interest and intention to deceive. Whenever any representation has been made to Lord Grenville on their subject he has never failed to receive his Majesty's commands for putting it in a proper course, in order that the facts might be inquired into and ascertained, and to the intent that the persons in question might be released if the facts appeared to be satisfactorily established.
With respect to the desire expressed by Mr. Jay that new orders might be given with a view to prevent as far as it is possible, the giving any just ground of complaint on this head, Lord Grenville has no reason to doubt that his Majesty's intentions respecting this point are already sufficiently understood by his Majesty's officers employed on that service; but he has nevertheless obtained his Majesty's permission to assure Mr. Jay, that instructions to the effect desired, will be renewed in consequence of his application.
The undersigned avails himself, with pleasure, of this opportunity, to renew to Mr. Jay his assurances of his sincere esteem and consideration.

From the French of M. Berquin
Extrait from the Preface.
To the honor of Mr. Berquin's taste, it may be said, that he has united simple elegance with interesting variety, but rigidly separated both from the slightest approach of whatever is vulgar or puerile: a merit much more easily praised than imitated. The art of amusing children whilst at the same time the Infant Genius is raised and the Heart mended, appears from his works to be no contemptible effort of the mind. Wherever, therefore, the utility of such an undertaking is acknowledged, the reputation of Mr. Berquin must ever be held in deserved esteem. Happily such is the agreeable versatility of Mr. Berquin's style and genius, that it would be difficult to pronounce in what department he excels: whether in the lively or the pathetic, the simple language of narrative, or the animated points of conversation: whether in shrewd remarks upon private life, or in florid description of the beauties of nature. Pieces of every various excellence that is to be found in the writings of Mr. Berquin, compose the following volume, which, it is hoped, will be thought a valuable substitute (where such may be preferred) to the larger and more extensive works of the same author. At No. 24, north Third Street, may also be had the following
