This event may be confide red as the
death blow to the Vandean war. The
negotiations with Sardinia* if we may
believe the accounts in the t reach pa
pers, had made considerable progress
when they were broken otF. Sardinia
had consented to a provisional cellation
of Savoy and Nice ; but (he required
that this cessation should not be detinite
till the general peace, and that France
should give his Sardinian Majeily coin
penfation and indemnity.
This the French Government would
not consent to, and the negotiations
were immediately broken off.
The BatayianConvention, according
to letters from the Hague, decreed, on
the xoth ult. thelevying of one man out
of every thousand, for the fervicc of the
navy of the New Republic.
The commune of Amsterdam, wifning

city are to be mortgaged as a fecuriry
for the Aim to be repaiu in twenty years.

In our paper of yesterday we dated,
that at a late hour the preceding evening
he had learnt that his serene nighrief :
he Stadtholder had set out from Hamp
ton Court Palace for Yarmouth, toen
bark for the Continent. On further
enquiry, we find that his serene high

companied his daughter-in-law, the he
reditary Princess of Orange, to London,
on her way to Yarmouth from whence
her highness will proceed directly to
Berlin, on the special invitation of the
King of Pruifia. Baron Jacobi, tlie

The following are stated to lie the

Sr. CHRISTOPHER’S, April 3.
We learn, that colonel Weatherhill
and three other officers (taken by a
French vessel and carried into St. Mar
tin’s) were a few days ago put on-board
a schooner, with 15 men, and sent into
Guadaloupe. The Ariadne heaving in
fight, and chafing the schooner, the
colonel proposed to his fellow prisoners
to attempt to refeue themselves by rising
on the crew—his proposal being acceded
to, heknocked down the helmfmaft \fith
3 hammer, and took the helm ; but the
Ariadne giving over the chafe, at this
critical moment, the officers were over-,
powered by numbers and their design
conTequently defeated. One of them

moved off, or are preparing to move to
the fide of the Canada lake, and Detroit
river ; and also, within these two days,
ii'om Prefqu’iile, wc hear that the in

RICHMOND, May 4.
On Monday last, the corps ofartille

Saint ; and upon hearing that the sta

lately arrived from Paris, was about to

marched down and escorted it with mi

cited emotions of pleafureand gratitude
in every beholder*
NEW-YORK, May 12*
The Marquis del Campo, Ambafla*
dor from Spain, was arrived at Paris*
from London.
His arrival at Calais, was announced
by adifeharge of artillery, and it is said
he was received with the louded accla
mations, by an immense crowd, calling
out, “ Long live our ally, the Spanilh
nation !
From the Paris accounts, detailed in
our last London papers, it appears that
Gen. Pichegru had been fucceded in his
command of the army of the Upper
Rhine, by Gen. Moreau.—The mo
tives of his resignation are said to have
arisen from his having ftrenuquily advi
sed the executive to make peace—and
even the surrender of the Netherlands,
which were not attended to. The ne
gotiations with bardinia, have been
broken oir.
The profpeft of a speedy peace con
tinue to be doubtful.—The preparations
on the Rhine, and in every quarter, are
continued with undiminished vigour.
The paflengers by the last arrivals,
whom we have conversed with, (ay that
peace is not looked to as near at hand.
The President of the FI ollar.d Con
vention, Pftrr Paulas, and one of the
principal authors of the Revolution in
that country, died suddenly, on the
17th of March.
It is aflerted in the Englilh papers,
that the Executive Directory of France
have deprived Ofteniofthe privileges
it poffellfid under the Emperor.
A letter from Guadaloupe mentions,
that 23 Americans were flam by the
French, at the late attack on Leoyane :
because they could not be distinguished
in the heat of action, from the enemy.
A corrcfpondent who has vifired the
President’s home at the Federal City,
fays, that the kitchen alone, is large
enough to hold the house of representa
tives of Cong refs, and that the Senate
may find room r Vo fit in the chimney
corner. He cannot conceive where a
President will be found, who is rich
enough to buy suitable furniture for such
immense apartments.
PHILADELPHIA, May 7.
We learn from good authority, and
mention it in corroboration of the re
port in this day's paper from Lilbou
and London, of a probdble rupture be
tween England Spain.; that Mr. Lis
ton, the British minister, refufed a paf
lage in the Assistance, to the Spanish
minister, appointed for the United
States, who was in England at the time
of Lis departure.
SAVANNAH, May 31.
The following reflation pajfd in the house
of rtprejeututi vts of the United States,
on tht 6ih infant, by a majority of 13.
ft Resolved, That by the authentica
ted documents accompanying the mes
sage from the President of the United
Mates to this house, and by the or
dinance of Congrds, hearing date the
13th of July 1787, and by the laws of
the United States, palled the 26th of
May 1790, it appears that the citizens
of that part of the United States, which
has been called the territory of the Uni
ted States south of the river Ohio, and
which is now formed into a (fate, under
a republican form of government, by the
name of Teneflee, are entitled to all the
rights and privileges, to which the ci
tizens of other llaies in the union are
entitled, under the constitution of the
United States, and that the slate of
Teneflee, is hereby declared to be one of
the sixteen United States of America.”
