Vol ■ 1. X. ON DON, March 12. Mr. Grey eftablifited the very ft rang fafts which he undertook to present to the house ot commons beyond the power of refutaron. He proved these points. ‘lYuki cL-cre kventy-ieven millions eight hundred theuland pounds of debt, incurred by the present war, had been already funded. That twenty-two millions remained, floatineand unfunded ; and that this furn of jn irondred millions had been iquan dered in the three firft years of this war. That this was more than double the expence of any three years of any war in which this country was ever en gaged. That of this sum, almost as much had been spent without estimate, and confe quentiy without the authority of parlia ment, as with it. That barracks were built for any ar iiiy of forty thouiand men, to be kept ■up in time of peace. Th.it by tae new system, the peace cfablirhment could not be lei's than twenty-xwo millions per annum. That the permanent revenue was not likely to he more than 19,500,0001. That consequently if peace were made to-morrow, independent of winding up of the war expences, there mull be addi tional taxes to the amount ot 2,500,000!. to carry on the peace. That, in Tired violation of the pro vision ot the ad. ot queen Anne, which declares that if the bank ihould advance money to government, without grants from parliament, they Ihould iorteii treble she sums advanced, miniilers had procured large iuins of money in advance from the bank. That they had artfully Smuggled in to sn-uft a clause repealing the whole lbme provifton in the aft of queen Anne, and that now the bank was in advance the enormous furn oi 11 ,Soo,oool. These arc but a lew of the faffs efbib lifhed by Mr. Grey, from documents laid upon she table, and of which print ed copies were in the hands oi the mem bers. To these charges Mr. Pitt did not fay one word. He left every thing to an evasive vote on the order oi the day, and his majority was 207 agsinft 45 • ■ • In the paper laid on the table of the heufe of commons, there is a charge of 49,000]. to M. Puifaye, for buying pro- * v Lions for the French at the time the poor Englith were itarving. Mr. Ha kings’ pen lion is 4000 b a y ear, for 27 years, from Auguil, 1755, to which the India company have added the loan of 50,000 b for 17 years, with out in tereft, which is therefore an annui ty of that term of all that it will bring ofintereft on afiibftantial security. Mr. Burke is in a rage that his pen sions of 4000 b a year, did not commence at the fame term. He therefore threat ens miniilers with a regicide piece. The court of the duke ot Wertemberg is one of the moil splendid of the fmali principalities ; he has five palaces, the raeaneft of which is more fupe :b than Carlton house. There is no objection to the union with cur princess on the score of relig ion, for the reigning duke, though born , a catholic, is now a protellant. DUBLIN', March 3. Yesterday James Weldon was execut ed at the front of the New Gaol, pursu ant to his sentence for high treason. The board did not fail as i.i ufuai exe-s cutions, but the man was puihed oIF itj and remained suspended by the neck for about ten minutes, when he was hauled up on the board, and his head fevered Irom his body, fixed on a pole, and fhevved to the fpeftators—the execu tioner crying out “ Here is the head oi a traitor.” His body was not quarter ed, but only feared. The body and head were then put in a coffin, and buri ed ten feet deep in the inner yard of the gaol. He was thirty years old, a (lout and well made man, and had been three years an the 7th regiment of dragoon guards. The executioner was not very expert at his business, lor he made fcveral chops with the axe, and at length was obliged to ule his knife before'he could complete - iy fever the head. Hat Manufactory .

NS 1 Columbian slufeum, Sc. Jror t\)c Columbian ipnCranv* Gentlemen, THE unhappy man who has been fpnrred 0., contrury-to the advice of the Physicians, and to his own inju ry, to re-commence an attack on me, which appeared in your lad paper, I un derhand is at the point of death. It has never been my wiih to add to affliction ; and to make comments on dying ingrati tude, wouid be fruitiefs as reproving the winds.— Let him depart in peace, and I hope, that lie will meet more mercy at the tribunal he is soon to appear at, than lie has had tenderneis ior my repu tation here. Some few remarks, as to facts, in de fence of myfeli to the public, are necel farv, and I have done witft aim forever. 1 was not in the legislature when the aft Mr. Waldburger alludes to, and of which he citc>, a ieT.on, breaking in on Mr. Zuberbuhler s bill, was palled ; not in (789, as be Jays , but the iird oi February, 1788. I never consented to the law giving this property to Mr. Waldburger; 1 thought if it were proper to apply it to individual uses, other heirs than that family were alive ; my oppolition I con tinued to the lafl stage of the bill, and for which I appeal to Mr. Milledge. The letter he has brought forward was aiter he had made me repeated ad vances.—At any rate the letter only proves that I had too favorable an opin ion of him. The hundred pounds, he mentions, was the only compensation I received for several years attention to military affairs after the war, and during which time I expended as much in flationary alone, and three times more in expences in attending the different parts of my command en Indian alarms, as the sum amounted to. I did not influence any member of the legislature to obtain it, and after all, it was an audited certificate not worth fix (hillings and eight pence in the pound. The fifteen hundred dollars which I never received, and which was never decided on vvhilft I was in the legislature, is now molljuftly due me, and Hands so acknowledged by the senate, for fer< vices from the beginning of the year 1 1779, to the middle of the year 1781,3s SBrigade Major to the state, and during which period, the molt trying service in America was experienced; but if I had been in the iegiliaturp, it appears from the failure of my application, that my influence there was nctfo great as was declared.—lt was no reaion however because I was there, supposing it to be the case, that a just application ought not to he made by me for a just debt. Was not, let me aik, the unhappy man in the legislature, when Zuberb dr ier's estate was granted him, and be tween which period and the time of Mr. Zuberbuhier’s death thirty, and not eleven years, as he fays in my case, had e’apfed. W hich deranged the funds moit, Mr. Waldburger’s ten or fifteen thouiand pounds, in that eftatc which he is in pofteifion of, or my demand of fif teen hundred dollars, which I never re ceived. Indeed, I never had one fix "pence from* the state, for ail my fer vices, Iroin 1776, till I commanded the State Legion, and between which period i can count up a dozen different actions, in 1 which 1 was engaged, to procure the independence of my country. General ; Clarke, and the western officers, had their accounts audited for like services, whilst 1 have been refilled this just debt, as the journals of the house, and the Auditor's books, will prove. Conti nental officers, with whom the state had nothing to do, iince the refufal of my demand, have received commutation, of twice the sum, from her treasury, and claims similar to mine, have been since difeharged. Why should it be more criminal in me, to make application, than in other officers ? I refer to the journals of the Yazoo Legislature, in Cob John MHntofh’s case, and others, to prove this. she bar, which Mr, Waldburger fays,- had no choice, when he was arti cled to me : though not so numerous, was a ■ rclbeftable, in my opinion, in the years 1782 & 1783, as at the present day. Mr. John Houftoun, Mr. Ste phens, in 1783 ; Mr. Howly, and Mr. Stirk, were among the practitioners. My prafticc, trifling as it may be con sidered, as my books vvill prove, affor ded me from three thousand, to three ’ thou fund live hundred pounds ftcriing per annum—J had at all times, when Judge Walton had any thing to do with the law, as an individual, that gentleman fora client. Law books indeed, were Tea roe, owing to the ravages oi war ; but his library was open at all times, for my young men ; and that li brary I purchased fome ’confiderable time before Mr. Waldburger left my office. He could however, have gone to either of the other gentlemen at the bar, if he had been in the flourifhing circumstances he declares; and I lincere ly wiih he had done lb. My charge of ingratitude againfl him could not have existed. I forbear to enter fully on this lubjeft again, but at the moment he op posed my claim, which he aifumes so much merit for doing, he rose and ac knowledged the many obligations he was under to me. For this, 1 appeal to Doftor George Jones, Col. Samuel Hammond, and other members of the legislature of 1793. To Mr. Milledge, my brother Abraham Jackson, and Doc tor \ oung, 1 alio appeal, to prove his repeated confefltons of ingratitude. I c uld trace Mr. Waldburger, muen far ther than I have done —but enough—his fituadon prevents it. I have been com pelled to make those few observations, and I am very sorry for it. JAMES JACKSON. NEW-YORK, April 15. A London paper Hates the amount of neutral property captured by the Bri tish in 1796 ; at 104,760 quarters of wheat; 35222 barrels of flour; 9110 quarters ol rye ; 8573 quarters of Indian corn ; 5 866 quarters of meal ; bolides lundry finallcr articles.
