FRENCH PRIESTS TRANSPORT ED TO CAYENNE. In the cocrfe of the month of 1798, jfo French Priests were transported to Guiana. On the firft of July, 1799, 148 of these unhappy vi&ims of Directo rial barbarity had peri filed among the bur ning sands, the morafles, and the wood?, With which that wild country is covered. Thirteen of those who survived the rigours of a climate, which consumes the inhabi tants, found means escaping from Synna mari in a canoe. They failed for the Co romantin. Tnree were loft in.the marfliy defarts which they had to pass. len ar rived at Demarara. The Englifli inhabi tants of that liland made a fubfeription for them, which amounted almost to 2501. sterling; which served to procure them cloaths, of which they flood in need, and to furnifh them anew for their embarka tion and voyage, for which tiie humanity of the captain who brought them over, charged very moderately. One of the un fortunate men died at Berbice, the remain ing nine have arrived at Liverpool. It is to the charity of our countrymen, and to that of the French Emigrants and Priests dispersed not only in England, but also on the Continent, and even in Tur key, that those who are transported owe their means of subsistence, and that those who have escaped owe the means of their deliverance. The produce of the genero sity of all these dalles, solicited by the ref pe&able Bishop of St. Pol De Leon, and deposited in the hands of MefTrs. Trum bull and Forbes, was confided to a coura geous Ecclesiastic, who, braving a thous and clangers, succeeded in transmitting cloaths and proviftons to the place of their exile, and who has taken the measures for transmitting new' alliftance, and for regu lating its distribution and application, fliould he succeed in procuring new funds. The accounts from this agent, who is de voted to the comfort of his brethren, are dated the ift of July, 1799. There were then goo other Priests confined in the Isle of Rhe, near Rochelle, destined to be trans ported to the fame deadly residence. The Diredory only delays their embarkation because it is momentarily restrained by the voice of public indignation, which re sounded from every part of France on the firft transportation. Such are the effeds of that revolutionary philofophy—of that taleration—of that humanity which dif tinguilhes the government of the Great Nation. Englif: Paper. lVtiW-YORK, Odober 16. Translated for the Daily Advertiser. The following late and very important intelli gence is tranjlated from Hamburg papers to September 7, received at this office. HAGUE, August 24. The following summons w'as sent by ad miral Dundan, to the Dutch admiral Story. On board his Britannic majejly's Jhip Kent , August 20. S 1 K, Upwards of 2000 troops are already landed at the Helder, where more are dis embarking; you will, I hope, notlofe this favorable opportunity of manifefting your zeal and loyalty tow-ards the prince of Or ange, your lawful sovereign. I doubt not but you will with all the veilels of the na vy of Holland, which speedily will follow your example, declare in his favor. All thole who are so inclined, will be consider ed as friends and allies and mav hoist the flag of Holland. Sir Ralph Abercrombie, who com mands the British land forces, and Andrew Mitchel who next to me commands the fleet, arc notified of these my propositions made to you, all the veilels therefore which choose to profit thereby, may lafely come to join me; they fliall be treated with the fincerett friend (hip as allies and may re main with the utmost fafety in the midst of the Britillt fleet, until they may receive the immediate orders from the prince of Orange, who will order their future ope rations. I have the honor to be with rdpeft and friendfhip. DUNCAN. ADMIRAL STORY’s ANSWER. On boa''d the ll ajkington, in the TexelyAuguf Z", ffifth year of Batavian liberty , Admiral ! Was I to accept, as an officer, the otters you make, I (liould think myfelf un worthy the esteem of my lord Duncan, as well as that ot every hontlt man ; I know the duties I ow e to mv country and to the tiag under which I have the honor to serve, , Ih.uikl your force inrell to double the num c, mv fentimems will iliil remain the ■ '”*<y therefore mv lord exped iic'.i a defence from me, as Hull be honor -5 'ie ic my nation and mvfelf. I have Tent vmtr summons to my go vernment, waiting tor further inftru&ions, which as soon as I receive them, fnall be j communicated to you. Rett afllired my lord, tb it I am with esteem, STORY. The legifhfive body approved of admi ral Story’s answer, the following audition was sent to the admiral to transmit to lord Duncan. Tiie landing of 2000 troops at the Hel der, as expressed in the summons, wants confirmation, as the best measure for pre venting such a landing have been adopted, but admitting it as a fact, the brave com manders of our veflels would certainly be found rather to protect to the last extremi ty, the honor of the Batavian flag than to go over to an enemy. This added to ad miral Story’s answer, would have been tho’t fufficient, if we were not forced to notify to lord Duncan, the unwarrantable conduct of the officer who was charged with the delivery of the summons, trust ing that such conduft will not alone be disapproved, butalfo, severely puniflied by his nation.—The said officer handed to a Batavian officer, papers, containing a proclamation both in Englifti and Dutch, tending to induce if poliible the Batavians to revolt, and annul the constituted autho rities. This daring fa<ft was not difeover ed until after the departure of the Britilh officer, who otherwise as hereafter it will be lawful and just, would have been treat ed as a revolter and traitor ; for the future any officer charged with a delivery of a summons, or such like negotiation sent by the British commander, fiiall be treated as a prisoner of war. The president in the firft chamber de clared solemnly his acquiescence as to the manly answer sent by admiral Story to that of the Englifti admiral, he praised the energy and decision of the directory, who for the preservation of the present order of things, strain every nerve, nay even are ready to facrifice life itfelf. He depended much upon the bravery of the Batavians, which was to oppose the army and fleet, he reminded them of the heroic a<fts of Trump and Ruyter. It was afterwards decreed as follows: Ift. That no one under penalty of death, after the date hereof, fliall quit the land— that the fame penalty fliall. be infli&ed on all revolters, plunderers, and on all those who may be found in arms against the pa triots. 2d. All constituted authorities have full power to take up and confine all suspicious perfons,' and report them to the direftory. 3d. The directory is empowered topro feouto »H ti.ofo, who by virtue of a pafT port have left the country and are not re turned. 4th. The exportation of hay, oats and straw, is prohibited for the space of two months. sth. The dire&ory may, if it is deemed expedient, call the militia into service. 6th. The returning emigrants, as well as those who’have quit the republic with out.a pass, and favored the enemy ; those who oppole the constituted authority, those who wear a figual of revolt, &c. shall after conviction be punished with death. September 3. The Englifti have already poflefled them selves of Enkhuyfen ; the sailors of the Botavian fleet, which they gave up to the Britifli had risen and confined their offi cers. The Englifti head quarters remain still at the Texel, where they alfohave a num ber of men of war. Among those who compose the com mission, lent from here to Harlem at head quarters, are the minister of war, a secre tary, and two governmental mefiengers; the four carriages in which they went, were escorted by some cavalry. Horses and waggons continue still in re quisition ; these two days past it has been notified through all the streets, that who ever are willing to carry artillery to the army, may call at the city hall; their pay will be 5 florins per week and cloathing. None of the national guards here are as vet under marching orders, but the citi zens of the firft requisition are drilled twice a day. The consternation here is great ; wag gons going night and day, and packing up every where without intermission. Three heavily loaded carriages from the old court, the present residence of the dire&ory, set off early this morning, destination un known. Six hundred citizens from Amsterdam are expe&ed here this day to garrison this place, they will be quartered in the houses of the inhabitants. Orders were alio given last night to the guards of the legiftative body, to keep themselves in readiness for marching with their baggage and arms. Many lalie rumors prevail here ; among the rest is that general Daendels was brot* here priloner bv an escort. The mail from the French camp has not arrived, owing probably to the removal of head-quarters; it will go to Harlem, General Abercrombie, has tfrf patc jj . major-general and adjutant for the H these two officers are arrived at the Bas an head-quarters. wVl * General Brune has written to the tory, that in Amsterdam (editions and buJent rumors prevail refpefting the that it is evident, that a party exists which is growing numerous, and appears ready for revolt and plunder. ' October 19. We are happy to announce to our f e l. low citizens, that there have been deaths reported at the Health-Office so, the last 24 hours ending this day at 12 o’clock. We learn from undoubted authority that the Envoys to France, are to fail oa the sth of November in the frigate United States, which now lies at Newport, ready to receive them. * Election in Pennsylvania. From the statements of votes which have been cancelled, there (lands at p re . sent, a majority for Mr. M 4 Kean of ThePitlburgh Gazette, of the 12th inst. has the following paragraphs : The returns of two of the diftrifts in Weftrnordand county, had not come in but it is supposed that one of them will be in favour of Mr. Ross, and the other in favour of Mr. M‘Kean. The returns from a number of the dif trials of this county (Allegheny) were not received when this paper was put to press—but from the information we have received, we allure the friends of Mr. Ross that he will have a majority of upwards of 1100 votes. PHILADELPHIA, Oftober 15. Arrived this morning the (hip Good Friends, capt. Earle, in the very fliort pas sage of 29 clays from Hamburg. This veflel failed the 14th September, and brings intelligence of Amsterdam being in poffef (ion of the Britifti troops. The dutch were flocking in great numbers to the standard of the Stadtholder. The paflenger from whom we have ob tained the above, also informs, that 30,000 Ruffians had arrived at Hamburg, destined to aft against France. This is no doubt the Ruffian expedition which failed from Elfinear the 23d of August ;■ and which was designed to co-operate with the Bri tifli troops in the reduftion of Holland.— It is more than probable that this has been effefted without the aid of the former. The day capt. C. left Cadiz, the gover nor of that place, by request of Mr. Yznar di, American consul, politely iflued ftrift orders to the commanders of French crui sers, not to attempt to proceed to sea with.- in 48 hours after his failing. The conduft of our consul does honor to the government which he so faithfully re presents. The fleet under Lord St. Vincent’s com mand is reported to labour under the plague; all the coast of Barbary are infeft ed with it. La Fayette and La Tour Monbourg have been for some time past in Hamburg. We have been politely favored by cap tain Conningham, of the fliip Superior, from Cadiz, with the following informa tion. Immediately after general orders were iflued for all the Spanish officers to remain on board, and hold themselves in readiness for failing, upwards of 50 officers upon this signal being given, threw up their commissions which were not, howe ver, accepted. Seven or eight American veflels have been captured lately by the French, and carried to St. Lucia; the French consul there is said to have colleagued with them to condemn every thing. This report is corroborated by their avoiding to bring their prizes into Cadiz, as the French con sul of that place some time ago set a (hip at liberty. The seals were put upon all the public coaches in Cadiz, on the 20th of August, by an order of the government, to prevent the transportation of specie, and the better to aicertain the real amount of every man’s property. The fame measure took place at the fame time throughout the whole kingdom. From Russel’s Boston Gazette COMMERCIAL SPANISH PAPER. [ 7Z"f following Spanish Decree, is publijhed as v.-e received it, having nc date. Ike ref peft ability of the source thro' which it was handed, assures us of its authenticity ; and the general tenor of the paper jlews its recent origin .] THE King’s unremitting watchfulnafs over the happiness of his beloved fubjefts, and the reprefenfctions put into his royal hands concerning the stagnation under which our colonies laboured in their prin cipal articles of produce, and the want t hey experienced of goods and effefts in diipeniably neceflary to them, inducing irreparable mifehief to agriculture and trade, were the motives which influenced his compassionate royal breast to iflue the royal order of the iSth Nov. 1797, grant ng to ail his fubjefts the liberty of ship-
