Vol. i* 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 to re-effiabliih the credit of its bank, which had been destroyed by the Revo lution, has just opened a loan of (even millions of florins, at four per cent inter est. The property and revenues of the city are to be mortgaged as a fecuriry for the Aim to be repaiu in twenty years. The fubicriptions were opened on the 24th, at the Treasury of the city oi Amsterdam. April 2. 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 neis is not going abroad, but only ac 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 Prussian Envoy, who is charged with the conduct of every necessary measure for the embarkation of the Princess, ac companied her to Yarmouth. Eighteen Thousand Six Hundred Ton* of foreign Wheat are now ready to be imported from the Ealtic into this country. April 3. A letter from Colonel Brathwaite, dated Madras, October 17, 1795, an nounces thefurrender of Malacca, and its dependencies, on the 17th of August, to the troops Cent on that fevice, under the command of Major Brown. By dispatches from Bengal, it also appears, that Chinfura and its dependen cies have been taken, and that the Dutch forces at thole fetdements are prisoners of war. Lord Howe has intimated to the Ad miralty Board, that he is ready to re - pair to Portsmouth at one day's notice, to afiemble a Court Martial on Vice- Admiral Cornwallis. Admiral Cornwallis has requeued of the Admiralty Board, that no unneefla xv delay may be made in bringing him to trial. The following are stated to lie the principal charges on which this officer is to be tried, exhibited againlt by the Admiralty Board: That his return is a flagrant breach of trust, as well as a direct disobedience of orders. 2d, That the accident which cfenflAy occasioned his return, happened only two days after he failed, and while they were (till in the Channel. 3d. That after eroding the Bay, and to the fouthwardof Cape Finifterre, he sent another (hip (tleftined for another service) on with the convoy, and return ed to Spithead, inilead offliifting his flag into, and going hirnfelf in that (nip (the Minotaur.) 4th.

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 Columbian ifcTufcum, Be. loft two of his fingers, by the fab re, being tita.vn through his hand, who we underhand 101 l his arm—they are now ciu.ely confined in Ihackles at bt. Martin’s. KNOXVILLE, April 1. On Monday laid, the fint general as sembly elected under the constitution of the itate of Tenneilee, met in this town. General Jataes Wincheftcr of bum mer, is chosen fpcaker of the senate; and Ja;nes btuart, eiquire, of Joneibotough, Ipeaker of the house of representatives. On Wednefilay last, at 12 o’clock, the fenateand house of representatives being alleinbled in the reprefentatives’ chamber, citizen John bevier, the go vernor elect, was introduced, and the ieveral oaths of office administered to* him by the honorable Joleph Anderson. Yetterday the legiflaturc of this slate elected William Blount and William Cocke, efquircs, to reprelent this slate in the .senate oi the United States. William Maclirt, cfqutre, is elefted secretary of slate. PITTSBURGH, April 30. We hear by the way of the Illinois, that the inhabitants within the United -jtales territory, near Detroit, have 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 nabitants at the garrison of Niagara are preparing to move ; all much chagrined at the treaty with the United States. RICHMOND, May 4. On Monday last, the corps ofartille ry, infantry and cavalry, of this city, paraded in honour of the American Saint ; and upon hearing that the sta tue of General Wafliington, which lately arrived from Paris, was about to be brought lip from Rockets’, they marched down and escorted it with mi litary honours to thecapitol, which ex - 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.
